Ebooks Are Fun To Read
By Polly Hummingbird
Have you ever read a book in the middle of the night with
only a flashlight as your source of light?
Reading an ebook is fun to read in the same sort of way.
Staring at a computer screen for a long time is not really
good for your eyes, anymore than a flashlight in the dark
is, but it's fun to read a book using your computer.
You scroll down the page to read and click buttons to turn
the pages.
The graphics and text enhancements of an ebook are more
fabulous than a printed book. Even the print size and
line-spacing are better.
Once you have everything set up and ready to go for
ebook reading, the possible adventures ahead of you are
endless.
Almost any kind of book can be downloaded in electronic
format. Novels. How-to books. Articles. Email courses.
You name it.
Apart from your PC, the only other thing you need to is
an "ebook reader". There are two well-known programs
that do this. One is "Microsoft Reader" and the other is
"Acrobat Ebook Reader". Once you have downloaded
one of these programs onto your hard-drive you can open
any ebook and begin to read it.
Many ebooks are free but even the ones you pay for are
not expensive. Prices range from three to thirty US dollars.
The next time you are prowling around in the middle of the
night, looking for something to do, try snapping on your PC
and dive into an adventure of a thrilling ebook.

Once Upon a Potty Gift Bundle - Boy
Customer Review: The best potty book and potty
The Once Upon a Potty has been the best! I also had the one for my little girl too. I've had many other books and this one is the only one that really perks their interest and helps the kids compare whats in the book with both their body parts and the potty after they went. For some reason that seems to be the best part of the book for them. So hands down the book for both girl and boy is what you need. For my girl I had a different potty chair that worked just fine but definately love this one for my boy because it's super easy for them to get on by themselves and also he can't spray it out when he sits. Other potties have a removable tab that goes in the front to avoid spraying out forward but he would just rip it off. So this one works well.
Customer Review: Question
I'd like to know whether or not it is easy to empty and clean this potty. It doesn't look like it has an obvious place for pee to pour out.
Mulan (1998)
Mulan (1998)
Solid entertainment from a new group of Disney animators. The story source is a Chinese fable about a young girl who disguises herself as a man to help her family and her country. When the Huns attack China, a call to arms goes out to every village, and Mulan's father, being the only man in the family, accepts the call. Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen, sung by Lea Salonga) has just made a disastrous appearance at the Matchmaker and decides to challenge society's expectations (being a bride). She steals her father's conscription notice, cuts her hair, and impersonates a man to join the army. She goes to boot camp, learning to fit in with the other soldiers with some help from her sidekick, Mushu, a wise-cracking dragon (voiced by Eddie Murphy). She trains, and soon faces the Huns eye-to-eye to protect her Emperor.
The film is gorgeous to look at, with a superior blend of classic and computer-generated animation. Directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook make the best of it: a battle in the snowy mountains is as thrilling as the best Hollywood action films. The menacing Huns are not cute but simple and bad. The wickedness is subtle, not disturbing. The film is not a full-fledged musical, as it has only five songs (the best, "Be a Man," is sung during boot camp). Eddie Murphy is an inspired choice for the comic-relief dragon, but his lines are not as clever as Robin Williams's in Aladdin. These are minor quibbles, though. The story is strong, and Mulan goes right to the top of Disney animated heroines; she has the right stuff. --Doug Thomas
Customer Review: Real classic, Everyone should keep a copy of this
this movie is a cross-cultural classic, the story is great, the songs are wonderful, everyone should have one of this
Customer Review: Good
This product was in the exact condition I was told it would be in, and it arrived in good time. I enjoy buying products from Amazon, becuase I know that the quatily is always above average, and that if there was a problem, Amazon would take action!
Versace by Rosenthal Medusa Lumiere Clear Crystal Whiskey Glasses, Set of 2
Versace by Rosenthal Medusa Lumiere Clear Crystal Whiskey Glasses, Set of 2
Lumiere, French for "light," epitomizes the delicacy and brilliance of hand-blown, full-lead crystal. Adorned with Versace's iconic Medusa head, each sparkling tumbler or stem in the collection makes a perfect accompaniment to Medusa porcelain dinnerware. The two Lumiere Clear whiskey glasses in this set are designed especially for sipping a fine single malt Scotch or a sparkling bourbon-and-soda on the rocks. Measuring 3-1/2 inches tall and holding 5-3/4 ounces, each octagonal-sided tumbler feels secure in the hand and luxuriously weighted, thanks to the dense base in which lies the Medusa image of Greek--and Versace--mythology.
Ever since Versace, Italy's provocative house of haute couture, and Rosenthal, one of Germany's most prestigious porcelain companies, teamed up in 1993, the resulting dinnerware and gift collections have made spectacular waves. Classical and wildly imaginative themes leap to life with uninhibited combinations of color and line. Also available in a colored version, each Medusa Lumiere set comes secured in a Versace gift box, sure to both delight and impress the recipient. Like all fine crystal, the whiskey glasses should be washed carefully by hand. --Ann Bieri
The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate
The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate
Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice.
How do you discover your spouse's - and your own - love language? Chapman's short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage.
Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like -hoping the feelings of affection will follow later- a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal & Paperback Book Set.
Customer Review: Should be required reading for every couple
This is the best book I've read on how different people seek different ways of being loved. I wish this would have been required reading when I got married.
Customer Review: Communication And Understanding
Very insightful look into how we make others feel, how we are made to feel, loved. This is useful to discuss with just about everyone, not just your mate. Learning what things make others feel good about themselves can enhance any relationship in your life.
Going through the detail of understanding this in yourself can also enhance how you view yourself, and participate, in the world. Filling yourself and others with good feelings surely will benefit everyone involved.
Anyone seeking to develop a better world, start with the people in your immediate circle. Along with "How Full Is Your Bucket" this is one of the best interpersonal relationship books I've come across. HIGHLY Recommended!!
Hannah Montana
Hannah Montana
If the 9-year-old in your life hasn't alerted you already, consider this your heads up: Not since Hilary Duff has Disney delivered the masses a tween sensation as hot as the double-life-leading Miss Hannah Montana. More important for speaker-blowing second- to seventh-graders and the parents forced to buy them CDs, though, no small-screen sensation transcends the tube more convincingly. Part party girl and part plain old good girl, Montana--a sweet-voiced, playful performer--never skimps on the pipes. Country fans will chalk that up to our rhyme-named heroine's lineage; 14-year-old Miley Cyrus, who plays Montana, is the daughter of Nashville star Billy Ray Cyrus (who duets on this disc's sentimental, twang-resistant last track). The rest of the world, though, is apt to find itself belting along based on Hannah's unsinkable hooks and frothy Ashlee-meets-Hilary vocals alone: theme song "Best of Both Worlds" bumps around off a Joan Jett-reminiscent springboard; "Who Said" rips a page from the emo diaries; and "Just Like You" ladles on harmonies sweet enough to attach a stick to. Additional tracks like Jesse McCartney's "She's No You" and B5's Earth Wind & Fire redo "Shining Star" are first-rate complements to the proceedings, but make no mistake: this dance-happy hybrid belongs to the reigning pop princess alone. --Tammy La Gorce
Customer Review: Hannah montana! OH MANNA this CD takes the cakes !!!!!
I like her name rhymes, and because she sings well but her show is great too! She is good for roll models and with her pretty blond wig !! i wanted to buy this CD but gramma gave all the rainy day money to Shane to buy beer with. Hannah Montanas music makes flowers grow!!!!
Customer Review: 5starRatingSayWhat?!
A CD this good deserves 10 STARS!! The whole family loves Miley's music, TV show and we think she's a great person and a fantastic role model. Thank Heaven for Hannah!!!

Customer Review: defence?
let me say ive spent at least 100 hours on nfl street one and maybe 15 hours on nfl street 2. 2 things that make this game very bad the defence sucks in this game, yes i know how to use the defence but it takes a long time to force tons of fumbles and interction are luck for the most part. The rosters are like 3 years old and you cant trade players to make your team somewhat updated. This game is good but if your going to play online you better step up your game, because it doesnt matter how good you are offline. They need to make a nfl 3 with updated rosters you can load off the online service.
Customer Review: Pretty good
The game is great for a street ball game. But I'm used to games like Blitz. I was kinda disappointed that you can tackle anyone once a play is over...unneccessary roughness is one of the best parts of playing football.
Lonely Planet Honduras' Bay Islands: Diving & Snorkeling (Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Great Barrier Reef)
Lonely Planet Honduras' Bay Islands: Diving & Snorkeling (Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Great Barrier Reef)
Once a haven for pirates, 67 sleepy islands and cays off the Honduras mainland are now a budding ecotourism destination. The clear, warm waters are home to every fish species found in the Caribbean, as well as most hard corals, gorgonians and sponges. Renowned for wall diving, the region also boasts several wrecks, shallow reefs and fascinating blue water sites. Visitors can swim with dolphins, while lucky divers may spot a passing whale shark. This book describes 74 of the best dive sites, with full-colour photos throughout
Customer Review: All the information you need
I live in Utila in the Bay Islands in Honduras and i see many people arriving with this book in their hand and all of them tell me that they use it all of the time and it is an invaluable source of information.
I myself have seen it and read it i would say that it is the best travel guide on Honduras it gives you all the information you will need.

Moon Shoes - Black
Moon Shoes - Black
Moon shoes are the original mini trampolines made for feet so kids can jump with anti-gravity effects. Plus, they help to develop balance and coordination. The wacky Moon Shoes are made of quality, high-density plastic, adjustable nylon straps with sure-footing and nonskid treads. They fit up to size 9 men's shoes and hold a maximum total weight of 180 pounds.
Customer Review: Moon shoes are out of this world, except ...
... if you have two children of different sizes to share the moon shoes, you have to add or subtract sixteen rubber bands, which is time consuming. Also, the dramatic price drop for this product after Christmas is frustrating!!
Customer Review: Indoor fun for the winter
My son got these last Christmas when he was 8. I bought them with the idea that since we are homeschoolers (ie home a lot) in the northern US (ie inside a lot), these would be good for burning off some energy. My son is/was small for his age, so I knew that these would last him for a long time.
Our neighbor has a backyard trampoline and my son is rather proficiant and quite a dare-devil on it. When we got the moon shoes, however, I warned him that these were not the same as a trampoline and that he would not be able to jump and lift his feet out from under himself (as they show in the packaging-- thus the three star rating).
They are good for jumping straight up and down and the quality has been good (I haven't had any trouble putting the bands on).

A book for sale Artilce for Your ViewingBlank Books: A Writer's Best Friend
Blank books are everywhere these days. Whether you're drawn to the ornate, artsy variety in the gift department of your favorite bookstore or the spiral-bound type that are available in bulk at back-to-school time, or even the cheaper, dollar-store variety, blank books are a must-have for any writer.
In this age of technology, it's easy to pass up such a low-tech goodie as a blank book. Many writers write solely on their computers, forsaking pen and paper altogether. So why choose a blank book?
Perfect for their portability, blank books can be tucked into purses, briefcases, or tote-bags, or even into the glove compartment of a car. This makes them ideal for those quick snatches of inspiration that come at odd moments or those stolen moments of writing time. Why not keep one beside the bed to capture fragments of dreams or those burning pieces of stories and poetry that come in moments of sleeplessness?
Blank books also work well for capturing miscellaneous bits and pieces: story ideas, possible titles, interesting metaphors, character sketches, and the like. These are things that can easily get lost in the tidal wave of information on a hard drive. In addition, when looking for inspiration, it's sometimes helpful to have something you can hold in your hand and flip through. For many writers, just the feel of a book in their hands can be a source of inspiration, so flipping through a book of your own writing miscellany could be the perfect antidote to a dry stretch.
Research has also indicated that you access different areas of the brain when you write by hand and when you write by typing directly on your computer. That's not to say that one way is better than the other, but if you're looking for a change in your writing, a venture into a blank book may be just what you need to perk up your writing. You can take it to another room for a change of scenery, write in different color inks, all of which can spice up your writing.
With the variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, there's a blank book out there that will appeal to everyone. From wooden covers to silk, lined pages and unlined, locked and unlocked, you'll be sure to find one that's right for you. Even in this age of technology, a blank book can truly be a writer's best friend.

Customer Review: Classic Disney Movie
I love Aladdin I first saw it when my brother was very little. I think that you can't go wrong with a Disney Movie. I love this movie and cant tell you how many times I have watched it and still have the excitement of it being the first time I love this tale and the best part is that the color is bright not like the VHS.
Customer Review: The Best
Aladdin is probably the best cartoon movie ever made. It is the story of a young man who tries to win the hand of an Arabian princess with the help of a genie. There are conflicts with an evil vizier who tries to gain the genie's power and destroy Aladdin. Action packed, fast paced, many twists and turns in the plot, fantastic animation (the old fashion kind), great music, romance, and humor. Great characters. Even like the villains. In short, this movie has it all. And strangely, this movie has more heart than the vast majority of so-called Romanic movies. As an adult, I hate to admit it, but this is among my favorite movies. It also makes a great gift for children.

Lion King
Lion King
Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh

Ok, I love Disney. I am a 22 year-old male. I have no shame about the fact that I love these movies. They were a part of my childhood, so now I am buying them. It's just too bad I can't buy the Lion King brand-new because of that STUPID vault!!! Sure, Disney has some genius minds that realize if they withhold something, people will pay more for it. But do they really need to? If my company had the money and assets like Disney does (considering they own ESPN) i believe that i would not lock up my greatest films just so I can sell them for 30 or 40 dollars five years from now. True, it's a smart move but it makes some of the fans resent them. I just wanna buy The Lion King.

A book for sale Artilce for Your ViewingBlank Books: A Writer's Best Friend
Blank books are everywhere these days. Whether you're drawn to the ornate, artsy variety in the gift department of your favorite bookstore or the spiral-bound type that are available in bulk at back-to-school time, or even the cheaper, dollar-store variety, blank books are a must-have for any writer.
In this age of technology, it's easy to pass up such a low-tech goodie as a blank book. Many writers write solely on their computers, forsaking pen and paper altogether. So why choose a blank book?
Perfect for their portability, blank books can be tucked into purses, briefcases, or tote-bags, or even into the glove compartment of a car. This makes them ideal for those quick snatches of inspiration that come at odd moments or those stolen moments of writing time. Why not keep one beside the bed to capture fragments of dreams or those burning pieces of stories and poetry that come in moments of sleeplessness?
Blank books also work well for capturing miscellaneous bits and pieces: story ideas, possible titles, interesting metaphors, character sketches, and the like. These are things that can easily get lost in the tidal wave of information on a hard drive. In addition, when looking for inspiration, it's sometimes helpful to have something you can hold in your hand and flip through. For many writers, just the feel of a book in their hands can be a source of inspiration, so flipping through a book of your own writing miscellany could be the perfect antidote to a dry stretch.

This article on harry potter books may leave you speculating about harry potter books. Hope this speculation also leads to better understanding about harry potter books.
A Featured harry potter books ArticleIs it Time to Rewrite the Holy Books? (2)
For years afterwards I pondered on what kind of religion thrives on perpetual, personal unhappiness for its gratification. What kind of godliness seeks merely to cause pain and anguish when one's time on earth is so short? What kind of worship concentrates only on the negative and nasty things of life so that confessions of sins take precedence over confessions of goodness? What kind of god prefers someone living in a hell of a marriage, or in 'sin', and depriving themselves of love and affection in preference to starting all over again with a new partner in mutual blessing and spiritual joy? What god indeed prevents females from developing themselves to the fullest, condemning them to a life of inequality? Could it be the same one found in the holy books which were written by men, for a male dominated society, to fuel the power of men, while deliberately repressing the development of women to avoid any competition, and deny them their rights to ensure the continuity of unchallenged male power and control?
The Bible is God's word, I am frequently told. But who guaranteed it to be so? How do we really know? It was truly inspired writing, that is certain, by people who felt a deep need to shout their feelings to the world - and we are told they had the benefit of God actually walking among them! But as it has mainly been based on word of mouth, no one in our age can ever say for sure. And if we live by what the Bible says to the letter, to the exclusion of all else, not only would we still be doing some pretty violent things to our fellowmen, but could we also not be missing the inspiration of our own prophets in our own age? Which age has a monopoly on a direct link to God? How do we know that new prophets and disciples are not being nurtured now? In fact, could we have stopped listening to God because we have become so enmeshed in our own arrogant web of self-sufficiency and the straitjacket of self-righteousness and outdated beliefs, we are far removed from what God might want of us?
The Bible is etched on my memory to such an extent, having been immersed in it at an impressionable stage in my life, that whole passages - beautiful ones about charity and love, and nasty ones about brimstone fire ? float about regularly. I also remember every book in the Bible since my rote learning over 40 years ago! Yet I cannot identify with it in any way. As I do love God, I am constantly plagued by what sort of god not only looks like one race of people, carefully matching each ethnic group, but only mentions those of one colour in His special book, making me, and millions like me, non-existent, especially if he is responsible for all of us, we are made in his image and likeness and he loves us all equally! What sort of god punishes the faithful while those who couldn't care less hardly seems to be punished at all?
Preserving and Maintaining Control
There is no doubt that Christian ideals are under seige, especially with the gay and women's issues, because there are too many anomalies in their execution. But that is the problem with any unchanging and inflexible religion which is created and dominated by one group or one gender in society. It reflects only their likenesses and belief, tolerating no examination or criticisms. Interpretations tend to be dogmatic, insular, being favourable only to the interpreters, in order to preserve and maintain their control of God's word. Years from my childhood, human beings are still not allowed to be fallible, to enjoy their life as given, otherwise they will be punished severely and forever. We must be perfect beings in God's sight, there being little godly love available for any defaulter.
Yet, if all God wants are people to punish, then it can't be the same God I worship. I am a very spiritual person and I have always felt close to my God, guided and blessed by Him daily in my life. Regardless of my actions I have never felt that I would be punished. As long as I am not offending anyone, I have never felt that I have sinned. Maybe this is because my God is one who values everyone, regardless of gender, or race, sexuality or attitude, strength or weakness. Being naturally superior, he does not need to punish us weaklings for using the assets and brains He gave us! In fact, I have always felt there would be forgiveness, love and patience - and not in another life either, but right here and now! I have been so loved and protected throughout my life, it is difficult to explain this to a non-believer and I have not even encouraged my children to share it. If they do not understand my feelings, they would only pay lip service to please me. They have to discover it for themselves too.
My gradual change in life pattern, emphasising how I treat my fellowmen here on earth, with respect, care and value, seems light years away from the constant guilt and hopelessness I felt as a youngster when blind acceptance of vows made when I was too young set me unquestioningly on the path of a spiritual hand-me-down, devoid of personal appreciation or meaning. Living in a manner which reflects my love, faith and beliefs is the greatest gift of God and it should speak louder than superficial words mumbled in church just before I go out and vilify my neighbour.
Trapped and in Anguish
Each human being is unique, unlike any other. Why should we be cloned in a religious mass of stultifying conformity? A group of people offers only support, mutual friendship and recognition of our feelings. They should not dictate our spirituality. Each of us is responsible for our own souls, making our dealings with our God an intensely personal matter. If you feel trapped and anguished by your faith, more comfortable with hatred than love, instead if peace, tranquility and a sense of purpose, you may be worshipping the wrong god, reading from the wrong book or associating with the wrong people who would seek to control your soul through threats and hell fire than with love and peace.
It could be time to examine what your holy book is saying and ask precisely what relevance it has to you as a child of the 21st century - for your life, aspirations and expectations. Whether men who practise sexism and racism, wage war and promote constant conflicts, men without love who sanction murder in God's name, the ones who would easily kill you without mercy to impose their beliefs and maintain their power, are really the best mediators between you and your God. It is also worth asking whether the concentration on the afterlife is not an excuse to to evade our real responsibilities to each other here on earth. Obviously, we don't have to strive for love, understanding and togetherness now because should we kill, maim and pillage, a vengeful God, who is on our side, is waiting to forgive us when we die!
"The Church is put into the world not to live on past history but to make history," said Graham Kendrick, the hymn writer. I couldn't agree more. But what new history is being made by an obsession with past prophets, past books and past values which increasingly disregard our own achievements, which negate our vibrant and diverse present, which puts religion above us and denies us our unique future?

Subaru Legacy, 1990-1999: Includes Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (Haynes Manuals)
All Subaru Legacy models, including Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (90 - 98) Haynes offers the best coverage for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs in the market today. Each manual is written and photographed from "hands-on" experience gained by a complete teardown and rebuild of the vehicle. The first Haynes manual was written this way 40 years ago, and all the manuals continue to be produced this way, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair information.
Customer Review: Beginner handbook
I have not done as much work as I might have liked, so I have opened the book relatively little. In what little I have used it, it has been more reassuring than helpful--for instance, the book confirmed that the rear hatch lifter supports come without the entire ball-joint assembly, and that there is little one can do about this. Not really helpful, but reassuring for someone who wonders what is going on.
I consider the book satisfactory for its purposes, and I am glad I own it.
Customer Review: Haynes manuals explain best!
In my opinion, short of an actual manufacturer's shop manual, you can't beat a Haynes book for completeness. And, given that they are written for the non-professional, in some ways they are far superior. Based on complete engine tear-down and rebuild, and covering standard repairs and maintainence, I never buy anything else.
If you are even reasonably handy, like to save money on basic (or even complex) repairs, this is the book for you.
Nancy Drew - Stay Tuned for Danger
Nancy Drew - Stay Tuned for Danger
NANCY DREW - STAY TUNED FOR DANGER (WIN 95,98)
Customer Review: Definitely NOT 5 stars
My conscience wouldn't let me leave this item with a 5 star review. My sister and I both agree that this was the worst of all the Nancy Drew Games. This was the only one where we got stuck and had to let the game sit for about 2 years before becoming desperate enough for a mystery game to go back and finish it. It's dry, dull and did I say "Dry and Dull?" Don't let this be the first or only Nancy Drew you buy. In fact, you should only buy this in the 4 or 5 pack like Nancy Drew 75th Anniversary.
The very first episode is difficult to maneuver since you have to change discs, but at least it was cute, set in a high school and a diner. The next couple of games are a little difficult to move around. But, by #3 Message in a Haunted Mansion and #4 Treasure In The Royal Tower they really start getting good. The best are (my order): Nancy Drew - The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Nancy Drew - Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island, and Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. Though short and without as many fun puzzles and challenges, Nancy Drew: Secret Of the Old Clock and Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek were both very cute. And we still like to go back to Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave to go fishing, snorkeling and make necklaces.
I hope you have fun with these and I fervently hope that some other companies would catch on that there is a market for this type of lighthearted and low-violence gaming!!
Customer Review: cool game, good graphics
this is one of the better games if compared with the first nancy drew game.i would recommend this game to first time mystery game players.
The Magic School Bus - The Busasaurus
The Magic School Bus - The Busasaurus
A visit to a dinosaur dig turns exciting when the Magic School Bus becomes a time machine that takes Ms. Frizzle's class back 67 million years, to the time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. There, they must put aside their prejudices and preconceptions about dinosaurs, as they investigate which are dangerous carnivores, and which are herbivores. By noting their observations in their science journals, the class classifies dinosaurs according to their diets. An encounter with a T-rex concludes the journey. They realize that dinosaurs come in all shapes and sizes, and use the scientific methods of recording data and hypothesizing to reach their conclusions. They also discover how scientists today use evidence such as teeth to tell which dinosaurs ate what. A female paleontologist answers their questions at the end, explaining which part of the journey was fact, and which was speculation. Kids will learn how scientists work, as they enjoy this exciting adventure in time travel. --Elisabeth Keating

Ghosts of Onyx (Halo)
Continuing the saga of the award-winning XboxG game!The Spartan-II program has gone public. Tales of super-soldiers fending off thousands of Covenant attacks have become the stuff of legend.

They're going to need hundreds of willing soldiers, though . . . and one more Spartan to get the job done.The planet Onyx is virtually abandoned and the perfect place to set this new plan in motion. But when the Master Chief destroys Halo, something is triggered deep within Onyx: Ancient Forerunner technology stirs, and fleets of UNSC and Covenant race to claim it to change the course of the Human-Covenant War.But this reawakened and ancient force may have plans of its own. . .

Customer Review: Awsome Prequel to Halo 3
This book was done remarkably well, despite the absense of Master Chief. You really get to know the other Spartans better...almost to the point that you just about tear up when they get mortally wounded. It mentions the civil war going on between the Elites and the rest of the Convenant, but still keeps the Elites in the villian spotlight. The ending of the book was definately NOT what I was expecting, but, given the plots of the 3 games, you shouldn't be too suprised. All in all, it's probably the best book in the series.
Customer Review: Halo, Ghosts of Onix
After reading it twice over I realised it had a few to many cross over plots with the other books. It would have been good to be released with the other three box book set however because it wasnt there are constant references back to different plots. It also introduces a few things that arnt in the other books however should have been and reveals that its been written after and not along side the other series. Overall if you can look past unexplained differences between different technologies and times or if you read it without reading the other three then it has a good plot and delivery of material well timed.

Each T.M.X. friend has its own unique actions. The T.M.X. Cookie Monster features silly gyrations followed by humorous phrases. This motorized doll is so soft, kids can pick it up, snuggle with it, then put it down and watch it wiggle. It only takes two tickles to send Cookie Monster into hysterical laughter and kids soon find themselves giggling along. This doll has an incredible likeness to the actual Sesame Street character. Parents can add to the fun with T.M.X. Elmo or T.M.X. Ernie, sold separately.
Tickle Test
During the tickle test, it became easy to see why the T.M.X. friends are in such demand. When you tickle Cookie Monster's belly, he doubles over in hysterics. The second time he is tickled, he falls over backwards, rolls from left to right, then gets back up again, saying, "That was good." The doll moves best on a hard, flat surface and struggles a little when placed on carpet. But that was the only setback discovered during the hands-on testing process. A discreet on-off switch on his foot allows you to turn the doll off, if you're in need of some quiet time. Overall, T.M.X. Cookie Monster makes a great toy for its target age range. Even adults will crack a smile as this jolly character shakes and rolls with laughter.

Customer Review: Worth it if under $20
I got a super deal on this around Christmas - I think it was only about $13! It was definitely worth $13. At first it made my one year old cry. I think she thought there was something wrong with Cookie. But then she got used to him and she loves him. He made my husband and I laugh like crazy the first time we tried him out, especially when he says at the end "Oh, THAT GOOD ONE!" I agree with others; he is a big battery hog. I haven't changed out the batteries yet, so he can't move around as well right now. But he does still bend over and shake a bit, and his voice is still good. So it doesn't really matter to a one-year-old! I am glad we got it, but might not be as thrilled if he had been over $20 (as he is as of this writing.)
Customer Review: Cookie Monster made us smile!
i gave this toy to my goddaughter who's a year old - at first she was hesitant because of the tumbling action - but the laughing sound and the voice of cookie monster made her smile - and us adult swoon! Soon after the first jitters, she was already playing with it and enjoying it! Her parents and I grew up on Sesame Street and its wonderful to see that it still has a wonderful effect on the present generation.

Customer Review: This is great for #2
I don't have a #2 yet but I am an elementary art teacher and let me tell you that I absolutly love this book. It is done in a fun way that tells both the mom and baby's point of view and gives fun facts that kids can relate to, like you were the size of a toster and what kinds of things the baby is working on at each stage of pregnance. I buy it for all my friends who are expecting, especially if it is # 2 or #3!
Customer Review: Good, if you are mainstream...
... but if you are planning an out of hospital birth or a birth with midwives, it's not quite as peachy. There is an illustration of mom at the doctor's office getting checked out early on, a reference in the text to her seeing the doc when baby drops, and then she rushes off to the hospital to push and push in the final pages. No room for birth center or homebirth, the midwifery model of care or self-care.
There is also a full-page illustration of father dusting off a crib.
I also had a hard time identifying with the mother in the illustrations, who is very white upper-middle class in her dresses, make-up and workout clothing.
Parenting, lifestyle, and birth choices aside, this is definitely a book written by a mother, not a writer, and sometimes the rhymes are a bit forced. The illustrations make up for it in their jolly attitude, but are not caldecott contenders- they are quick and dirty cartoon style pen and ink, colorwash type things, with little art.
However, if you see an OB regularly, have a seperate nursery for baby, and like Martha Stewart, this book might be right on target for you!

A Featured harry potter books ArticleIs it Time to Rewrite the Holy Books? (2)
For years afterwards I pondered on what kind of religion thrives on perpetual, personal unhappiness for its gratification. What kind of godliness seeks merely to cause pain and anguish when one's time on earth is so short? What kind of worship concentrates only on the negative and nasty things of life so that confessions of sins take precedence over confessions of goodness? What kind of god prefers someone living in a hell of a marriage, or in 'sin', and depriving themselves of love and affection in preference to starting all over again with a new partner in mutual blessing and spiritual joy? What god indeed prevents females from developing themselves to the fullest, condemning them to a life of inequality? Could it be the same one found in the holy books which were written by men, for a male dominated society, to fuel the power of men, while deliberately repressing the development of women to avoid any competition, and deny them their rights to ensure the continuity of unchallenged male power and control?
The Bible is God's word, I am frequently told. But who guaranteed it to be so? How do we really know? It was truly inspired writing, that is certain, by people who felt a deep need to shout their feelings to the world - and we are told they had the benefit of God actually walking among them! But as it has mainly been based on word of mouth, no one in our age can ever say for sure. And if we live by what the Bible says to the letter, to the exclusion of all else, not only would we still be doing some pretty violent things to our fellowmen, but could we also not be missing the inspiration of our own prophets in our own age? Which age has a monopoly on a direct link to God? How do we know that new prophets and disciples are not being nurtured now? In fact, could we have stopped listening to God because we have become so enmeshed in our own arrogant web of self-sufficiency and the straitjacket of self-righteousness and outdated beliefs, we are far removed from what God might want of us?
The Bible is etched on my memory to such an extent, having been immersed in it at an impressionable stage in my life, that whole passages - beautiful ones about charity and love, and nasty ones about brimstone fire ? float about regularly. I also remember every book in the Bible since my rote learning over 40 years ago! Yet I cannot identify with it in any way. As I do love God, I am constantly plagued by what sort of god not only looks like one race of people, carefully matching each ethnic group, but only mentions those of one colour in His special book, making me, and millions like me, non-existent, especially if he is responsible for all of us, we are made in his image and likeness and he loves us all equally! What sort of god punishes the faithful while those who couldn't care less hardly seems to be punished at all?
Preserving and Maintaining Control
There is no doubt that Christian ideals are under seige, especially with the gay and women's issues, because there are too many anomalies in their execution. But that is the problem with any unchanging and inflexible religion which is created and dominated by one group or one gender in society. It reflects only their likenesses and belief, tolerating no examination or criticisms. Interpretations tend to be dogmatic, insular, being favourable only to the interpreters, in order to preserve and maintain their control of God's word. Years from my childhood, human beings are still not allowed to be fallible, to enjoy their life as given, otherwise they will be punished severely and forever. We must be perfect beings in God's sight, there being little godly love available for any defaulter.
Yet, if all God wants are people to punish, then it can't be the same God I worship. I am a very spiritual person and I have always felt close to my God, guided and blessed by Him daily in my life. Regardless of my actions I have never felt that I would be punished. As long as I am not offending anyone, I have never felt that I have sinned. Maybe this is because my God is one who values everyone, regardless of gender, or race, sexuality or attitude, strength or weakness. Being naturally superior, he does not need to punish us weaklings for using the assets and brains He gave us! In fact, I have always felt there would be forgiveness, love and patience - and not in another life either, but right here and now! I have been so loved and protected throughout my life, it is difficult to explain this to a non-believer and I have not even encouraged my children to share it. If they do not understand my feelings, they would only pay lip service to please me. They have to discover it for themselves too.
My gradual change in life pattern, emphasising how I treat my fellowmen here on earth, with respect, care and value, seems light years away from the constant guilt and hopelessness I felt as a youngster when blind acceptance of vows made when I was too young set me unquestioningly on the path of a spiritual hand-me-down, devoid of personal appreciation or meaning. Living in a manner which reflects my love, faith and beliefs is the greatest gift of God and it should speak louder than superficial words mumbled in church just before I go out and vilify my neighbour.
Trapped and in Anguish
Each human being is unique, unlike any other. Why should we be cloned in a religious mass of stultifying conformity? A group of people offers only support, mutual friendship and recognition of our feelings. They should not dictate our spirituality. Each of us is responsible for our own souls, making our dealings with our God an intensely personal matter. If you feel trapped and anguished by your faith, more comfortable with hatred than love, instead if peace, tranquility and a sense of purpose, you may be worshipping the wrong god, reading from the wrong book or associating with the wrong people who would seek to control your soul through threats and hell fire than with love and peace.
It could be time to examine what your holy book is saying and ask precisely what relevance it has to you as a child of the 21st century - for your life, aspirations and expectations. Whether men who practise sexism and racism, wage war and promote constant conflicts, men without love who sanction murder in God's name, the ones who would easily kill you without mercy to impose their beliefs and maintain their power, are really the best mediators between you and your God. It is also worth asking whether the concentration on the afterlife is not an excuse to to evade our real responsibilities to each other here on earth. Obviously, we don't have to strive for love, understanding and togetherness now because should we kill, maim and pillage, a vengeful God, who is on our side, is waiting to forgive us when we die!
"The Church is put into the world not to live on past history but to make history," said Graham Kendrick, the hymn writer. I couldn't agree more. But what new history is being made by an obsession with past prophets, past books and past values which increasingly disregard our own achievements, which negate our vibrant and diverse present, which puts religion above us and denies us our unique future?

Subaru Legacy, 1990-1999: Includes Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (Haynes Manuals)
All Subaru Legacy models, including Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (90 - 98) Haynes offers the best coverage for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs in the market today. Each manual is written and photographed from "hands-on" experience gained by a complete teardown and rebuild of the vehicle. The first Haynes manual was written this way 40 years ago, and all the manuals continue to be produced this way, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair information.
Customer Review: Beginner handbook
I have not done as much work as I might have liked, so I have opened the book relatively little. In what little I have used it, it has been more reassuring than helpful--for instance, the book confirmed that the rear hatch lifter supports come without the entire ball-joint assembly, and that there is little one can do about this. Not really helpful, but reassuring for someone who wonders what is going on.
I consider the book satisfactory for its purposes, and I am glad I own it.
Customer Review: Haynes manuals explain best!
In my opinion, short of an actual manufacturer's shop manual, you can't beat a Haynes book for completeness. And, given that they are written for the non-professional, in some ways they are far superior. Based on complete engine tear-down and rebuild, and covering standard repairs and maintainence, I never buy anything else.
If you are even reasonably handy, like to save money on basic (or even complex) repairs, this is the book for you.
Nancy Drew - Stay Tuned for Danger
Nancy Drew - Stay Tuned for Danger
NANCY DREW - STAY TUNED FOR DANGER (WIN 95,98)
Customer Review: Definitely NOT 5 stars
My conscience wouldn't let me leave this item with a 5 star review. My sister and I both agree that this was the worst of all the Nancy Drew Games. This was the only one where we got stuck and had to let the game sit for about 2 years before becoming desperate enough for a mystery game to go back and finish it. It's dry, dull and did I say "Dry and Dull?" Don't let this be the first or only Nancy Drew you buy. In fact, you should only buy this in the 4 or 5 pack like Nancy Drew 75th Anniversary.
The very first episode is difficult to maneuver since you have to change discs, but at least it was cute, set in a high school and a diner. The next couple of games are a little difficult to move around. But, by #3 Message in a Haunted Mansion and #4 Treasure In The Royal Tower they really start getting good. The best are (my order): Nancy Drew - The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Nancy Drew - Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island, and Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. Though short and without as many fun puzzles and challenges, Nancy Drew: Secret Of the Old Clock and Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek were both very cute. And we still like to go back to Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave to go fishing, snorkeling and make necklaces.
I hope you have fun with these and I fervently hope that some other companies would catch on that there is a market for this type of lighthearted and low-violence gaming!!
Customer Review: cool game, good graphics
this is one of the better games if compared with the first nancy drew game.i would recommend this game to first time mystery game players.
The Magic School Bus - The Busasaurus
The Magic School Bus - The Busasaurus
A visit to a dinosaur dig turns exciting when the Magic School Bus becomes a time machine that takes Ms. Frizzle's class back 67 million years, to the time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. There, they must put aside their prejudices and preconceptions about dinosaurs, as they investigate which are dangerous carnivores, and which are herbivores. By noting their observations in their science journals, the class classifies dinosaurs according to their diets. An encounter with a T-rex concludes the journey. They realize that dinosaurs come in all shapes and sizes, and use the scientific methods of recording data and hypothesizing to reach their conclusions. They also discover how scientists today use evidence such as teeth to tell which dinosaurs ate what. A female paleontologist answers their questions at the end, explaining which part of the journey was fact, and which was speculation. Kids will learn how scientists work, as they enjoy this exciting adventure in time travel. --Elisabeth Keating

Customer Review: Awsome Prequel to Halo 3
This book was done remarkably well, despite the absense of Master Chief. You really get to know the other Spartans better...almost to the point that you just about tear up when they get mortally wounded. It mentions the civil war going on between the Elites and the rest of the Convenant, but still keeps the Elites in the villian spotlight. The ending of the book was definately NOT what I was expecting, but, given the plots of the 3 games, you shouldn't be too suprised. All in all, it's probably the best book in the series.
Customer Review: Halo, Ghosts of Onix
After reading it twice over I realised it had a few to many cross over plots with the other books. It would have been good to be released with the other three box book set however because it wasnt there are constant references back to different plots. It also introduces a few things that arnt in the other books however should have been and reveals that its been written after and not along side the other series. Overall if you can look past unexplained differences between different technologies and times or if you read it without reading the other three then it has a good plot and delivery of material well timed.

Another Great online booking ArticleHow 2 Books Changed My Life - I Now Make a Good Living Online
A year ago I bought two eBooks about affiliate marketing after spending years and thousands of dollars looking for truthful information on how to be an affiliate marketer. These two books changed my life.
If you are like me you have been looking for the ?secrets? to making money online. You have bought your share of eBooks and courses. You have tried to make a living on eBay and can?t seem to get it right. You have tried MLM, paid surveys and mystery shopping but nothing has worked for you. I searched and searched the internet hoping to find someone who was honest and would share some of their information with me. Finally I found it. These two books will help you to start making more money on the internet. Each one offers valuable information and step by step instructions. Both books are written by people who actually make over a million dollars online each year. Both people that wrote the books are well respected within the online marketing and affiliate world.
Book one is High Performance Affiliate Marketing by Jeremy Palmer. This book gives the affiliate marketing newbie an introduction to affiliate marketing but then it jumps into high gear. Jeremy is an expert in affiliate marketing and his techniques are featured on Commission Junction. Jeremy teaches you how to treat affiliate marketing as a business. He gives you examples of how to measure the effectiveness of your internet marketing. He also explains how to pick which affiliate programs to promote and how to negotiate higher commissions. The best part about Jeremy?s book is that there is a link to a member?s forum. The forum is free and Jeremy actually answers your questions. How many ebook authors actually make a living on line, besides selling eBooks, and are willing to answer your questions?
Book two is Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner. Rosalind makes over a million dollars a year selling other peoples stuff. She will show you step by step how to be an affiliate marketer and be successful. What I like most about this book is the marketing techniques she shares. Most of the techniques she uses I never heard of until I read her book. I also like how she uses newsletters to make more sales. If you are not building lists with your websites then you are missing out on making more money. She also has many free sources that she uses to build her sites and streamline the process.
Bottom line is that you can keep looking for the secret to making money online or start reading these two books and learn from the experts. Why reinvent the wheel?

This manual is very useful to the Z car owner who may have more than one car or a combination of early chassis and later engine, ignition, etc. The fact that there are three separate models included makes the manual somewhat harder to use, but overall it's well written and includes many illustrations and photos from the factory service manual. Occasional British terms are used which may be vague to some readers--a short list of translations into American language is included. Overall, this is a very handy tool for the Z car owner's collection.

Complete-A-Sketch Book 3- Perspective
The primary focus of this volume is perspective or three dimensional art of the most realistic variety. Perspective line art is used primarily by people in architectural and art fields.

Another Great online booking ArticleHow 2 Books Changed My Life - I Now Make a Good Living Online
A year ago I bought two eBooks about affiliate marketing after spending years and thousands of dollars looking for truthful information on how to be an affiliate marketer. These two books changed my life.
If you are like me you have been looking for the ?secrets? to making money online. You have bought your share of eBooks and courses. You have tried to make a living on eBay and can?t seem to get it right. You have tried MLM, paid surveys and mystery shopping but nothing has worked for you. I searched and searched the internet hoping to find someone who was honest and would share some of their information with me. Finally I found it. These two books will help you to start making more money on the internet. Each one offers valuable information and step by step instructions. Both books are written by people who actually make over a million dollars online each year. Both people that wrote the books are well respected within the online marketing and affiliate world.
Book one is High Performance Affiliate Marketing by Jeremy Palmer. This book gives the affiliate marketing newbie an introduction to affiliate marketing but then it jumps into high gear. Jeremy is an expert in affiliate marketing and his techniques are featured on Commission Junction. Jeremy teaches you how to treat affiliate marketing as a business. He gives you examples of how to measure the effectiveness of your internet marketing. He also explains how to pick which affiliate programs to promote and how to negotiate higher commissions. The best part about Jeremy?s book is that there is a link to a member?s forum. The forum is free and Jeremy actually answers your questions. How many ebook authors actually make a living on line, besides selling eBooks, and are willing to answer your questions?
Book two is Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner. Rosalind makes over a million dollars a year selling other peoples stuff. She will show you step by step how to be an affiliate marketer and be successful. What I like most about this book is the marketing techniques she shares. Most of the techniques she uses I never heard of until I read her book. I also like how she uses newsletters to make more sales. If you are not building lists with your websites then you are missing out on making more money. She also has many free sources that she uses to build her sites and streamline the process.
Bottom line is that you can keep looking for the secret to making money online or start reading these two books and learn from the experts. Why reinvent the wheel?

This manual is very useful to the Z car owner who may have more than one car or a combination of early chassis and later engine, ignition, etc. The fact that there are three separate models included makes the manual somewhat harder to use, but overall it's well written and includes many illustrations and photos from the factory service manual. Occasional British terms are used which may be vague to some readers--a short list of translations into American language is included. Overall, this is a very handy tool for the Z car owner's collection.

The Best book buy Articles on WineEducational Books And Toys - A Smart Start
With so many new video and computer games emerging on the toy market, it's increasingly common for children to get drawn into mindless hours of staring at a screen for fun. Moreover, with a mounting number of influential adverts on television, alongside persuasive friends who may already own the games, children are not easily dissuaded from the video and computer game hype - nor from asking their own parents for the latest game collection.
However, while the massive video and computer game market isn't likely to subside anytime soon, there are various ways for parents to provide their children with more educational toys and games, as well as to show them that such pastimes can be just as fun - if not more so - than video and computer games.
One thing you can do to dissuade your child from joining the video-game following is to introduce educational books, toys and games into playtime from an early age. There are a number of toy retailers that specialise in manufacturing such toys and games, as well as in printing an array of fantastic reading and colouring material. Even very young children who can't yet read or understand the concept of certain toys and games will benefit immensely from the visual and tactile stimulation of such toys, or perhaps from being read to out of a story book.
However, no matter what age your child is, rest assured that there are plenty of age-appropriate games and educational books and toys which are designed to both entertain and encourage learning. Moreover, they guarantee that your kids won't stare at a television or computer screen for hours on end.
Toys, books and games can also be used to help make targeted learning fun. For example, if your child is learning to write, make the process more enjoyable with a spelling kit or flash cards that help match words and letters with pictures. Or, why not encourage your child's artistic skills with a drawing or painting set? Whether you'd like to get your child's reading and writing skills off to a flying start or simply encourage fun learning, there are countless high-quality, multi-sensory toys and games which can help. After all, while video and computer games can build your child's hand and wrist reflexes, wouldn't you rather help them build a love for learning?

Astronaut Ice Cream
This Astronaut Foods book tells the history of food in space. From food in a tube to gourmet meals, find out how food has evolved for the astronauts and cosmonauts. What do they eat? How is it prepared? How do they eat it? Where is it kept? Paperback pamphlet. 30 pages. Comes with a package of Astronaut Ice Cream.
Customer Review: Great Fun!
This has become a holiday tradition in our house! We have to have a bag of astronaut ice cream under the tree. It started as a learning experience to see what astronauts eat. We tried everything we could find (pizza, strawberries, etc.) but the ice cream is our favorite and we keep it as a treat for those cold winter days. You get to eat ice cream without the 'brain freeeze'! Very entertaining.

This series offers do-it-yourselfers of all levels TOTAL maintenance, service, and repair information in an easy to use format. Each manual contains: trouble codes, electronic engine controls, maintenance schedules, diagnostic charts, wiring diagrams, tune up specifications, and much more.
Customer Review: Basically what I needed
This is the only manual that covers the 1.8l Sidekick Sport, so I got what I needed. As usual, good for the DIY'er but won't necessarily cover everything. I wouldn't be without one.
Customer Review: Is it good? No, it's snot
This is a frustrating book. While I understand that cramming everything that needs to be known about a car between two covers is a nearly impossible task, it seemd like nothing I wanted to do was adequately explained.
The switch for my AC/heater gave out...the explanation for how to remove it was complicated and confusing. I'm not sure if I can do it without completely disassembling the heater control panel or not. My speedo cable squeaks...I can't even find any mention of the speedo cable in the book. There's an explanation of how to pull the instrument cluster...but for some reason, it doesn't mention where any of the cables or wires that connect to it are located.
I browsed some other sections, and they seemed just as confusingly written as the areas I was interested in.
I would only get this manual as a supplement to another one. It's got the information that someone with a good deal of experience needs to work on their car, but it isn't good enough for an amateur, even a fairly experienced one like me.

NANCY DREW - STAY TUNED FOR DANGER (WIN 95,98)
Customer Review: Definitely NOT 5 stars
My conscience wouldn't let me leave this item with a 5 star review. My sister and I both agree that this was the worst of all the Nancy Drew Games. This was the only one where we got stuck and had to let the game sit for about 2 years before becoming desperate enough for a mystery game to go back and finish it. It's dry, dull and did I say "Dry and Dull?" Don't let this be the first or only Nancy Drew you buy. In fact, you should only buy this in the 4 or 5 pack like Nancy Drew 75th Anniversary.
The very first episode is difficult to maneuver since you have to change discs, but at least it was cute, set in a high school and a diner. The next couple of games are a little difficult to move around. But, by #3 Message in a Haunted Mansion and #4 Treasure In The Royal Tower they really start getting good. The best are (my order): Nancy Drew - The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Nancy Drew - Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island, and Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. Though short and without as many fun puzzles and challenges, Nancy Drew: Secret Of the Old Clock and Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek were both very cute. And we still like to go back to Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave to go fishing, snorkeling and make necklaces.
I hope you have fun with these and I fervently hope that some other companies would catch on that there is a market for this type of lighthearted and low-violence gaming!!

This article on book value may leave you speculating about book value. Hope this speculation also leads to better understanding about book value.
A Featured book value ArticleThe Use of Audiobooks on the iPod is on the Rise
iPod and MP3 players are becoming omnipresent. Everywhere you go, you see the familiar headphones in someone?s ears. And with the busy lifestyles we live, it is no wonder that audiobook sales are soaring. The combination of audiobooks and iPods are now making it possible for people to listen to their books on tape, or audiobooks where ever they go.
Apple and its many retail partners managed to sell 88 iPods per minute in 2006 which totaled 46,432,000 iPods sold. That is more then 1 iPod sold per second! The Christmas season from October and December were obviously the busiest of the year.
IPod sales look to continue to grow in 2007. In the first quarter of 2006, total iPods sold were 8.53 million. It is estimated that for the first quarter of 2007 iPod sales will be over 10 million. Some predict that the new iPhone will slow down iPod sales, but others feel the iPhone will not be competition due to its US $500 Price plus associated fees.
Audiobook sales have also been soaring. In 2005, audiobook sales totaled $871 million. Audio books are getting a boost in sales due to the rise in popularity of downloadable audiobooks which represented 9 percent of total audio book sales in 2005. While that number may seem small, it is a 50 percent increase in sales from 2004. It is fair to predict that audiobook downloads are going to continue to rise due to the rise in popularity of iPods and MP3 players.
Another reason audiobook download sales are going to continue to soar is that as of this year, almost all new cars are now capable of playing digital audio files. 97 million Americans drive alone to work everyday, and commuters are stuck in traffic an average of 62 hours per year. That is 32 percent of the entire U.S. population, and that does not even include those who commute by bike, bus, train or car pool. Now that audiobooks can be played so easily in cars and on iPods, it?s easy to see that audiobook download sales are going to skyrocket even further.
It is clear that with the rise in iPods and MP3 players, and the rise in audiobook downloads go hand in hand. Listening to your audiobooks on iPods is a great way to maximize your time. It seems to be harder then ever to find the time to read. We can now find time to read, or rather listen thanks to our trusted iPods and MP3 players.

Expansion Pak For Nintendo 64
The Expansion Pak allows the random access memory (RAM) of the Nintendo 64 console to increase from 4 megabytes (MB) to 8 MB of contiguous main memory. With the help of an included key, the Expansion Pak fits into the slot that is below a removable panel on the top of the N64 console. Game developers can take advantage of the increased memory in several ways, including making games that are more visually appealing. Some games will allow players to choose a "high-resolution" option, increasing the screen resolution from 320 by 240 pixels to as much as 640 by 480 pixels--creating crisp, high-definition graphics. The Expansion Pak utilizes Nintendo 64's capability for 32-bit, 16.7-million-color display with 256 levels of transparency (alpha)--bringing your games to a new level of realism. Instead of reusing texture data, games can buffer a larger number of textures for a more distinct look.
Other ways for developers to utilize the larger memory is by setting a higher frame rate, longer replays, and more animations. Games also can have more sophisticated artificial intelligence, which allows computer-controlled characters to be smarter, literally. Games can offer more characters and vehicles, and contain larger, more complex levels and worlds. Some games like The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask require the Expansion Pak, while others such as Perfect Dark require it for access to all of the game's levels and features. See our list of Nintendo 64 games that take advantage of the Expansion Pak's extra power.
Customer Review: A nice inexpensive way to enhance visual clarity on an aged console
The Nintendo 64 memory expansion pak upgrade is not vital for the most part, in terms of plugging up and playing many of the great titles already released for this console. But there are a few titles that absolutely require this upgrade. The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask and Donkey Kong 64 are two such titles for example, that cannot be accessed without this upgrade. Perfect Dark is one such title which offers minimal gameplay and locks players out of many of it's richer features due to the lack of available memory to run all of it's features properly. But I think you'll find that even if Donkey kong 64, Perfect dark, or Zelda Majora's Mask isn't your thing, you'll still be wanting to consider purchasing this Ram expansion for a few key reasons.
1)Improved gameplay details. A lot of games weather you know this or not offer very fine gameplay oriented details not available without extended memory. Most games are capable of improved framerate (improves quality of onscreen action. Prevents slow down effects when a lot of on screen action is occuring for example.) Programers can implement more textures and details to environments and characters making things look more lively or life like. AI (artificial intelligence) can be improved and become "smarter".
2) The second drastic improvement is audio/visual quality. Most people that don't understand how computer games really work or don't know all the technical terms, have a commen misconception that this expansion pak is supposed to improve the graphics in a way that might take the console beyond it's 64 bit capabilities. This isn't true. Rather, the expansion pak improves color quality and helps to reduce the blurry effect of the colors in most games, creating better visual clarity. Much of the blocky character sprites (but not all of course) will appear smooth and less blockish or choppy. With the improved framerate you may even notice how the environment in some games can pan out further while maintaining a smooth look, allowing the player to see further away from the character than they could with the jumper pak.
...The memory expansion for N64 is relatively cheap now that the console itself is two generations removed behind Gamecube and Wii. And if your still into retro gaming or just enjoy playing the Nintendo 64 even after all these years I would certainly recommend this buy. Even if you never play the games which require the upgrade, I would consider this because of it's ability to enhance visual clarity. Couple the memory expansion up with a Video-S cable, and you will still find an appeal to the outdated graphics of a system of yore.

A Pilates' Primer : The Millennium Edition
A Pilates' Primer : The Millennium Edition
This edition combines two of Joseph Pilates published works in one volume. Contrology is the complete coordination of mind, body and spirit, wrote Joseph Pilates. In Return to Life, first published in 1945, Pilates defines the concept of Contrology with specific advice regarding posture, body mechanics, correct breathing, spinal flexibility and physical education. He demonstrates his original 34 mat exercises, which are now basic repertoire in Pilates training. Each exercise is demonstrated by Pilates himself at the age of 60 in a series of photos accompanied by detailed instructions. Your Health, originally published in 1934, explains Joseph Pilates early theories about health and fitness. Its a fascinating look into the mind of the man who revolutionized fitness, and whose teachings form the foundation of a discipline now embraced by fitness enthusiasts, health educators, rehabilitation specialists, and exercise trainers around the world. Black and white, paperback, 158 pages.
Customer Review: Real Pilates course
I learned my first pilates mat on a specialized gym with a teacher, third in line with Joseph Pilates. Classes were really expensive and I started searching on internet for a video with the original excercises as the ones I learned. I did not have too much luck, until I saw this video and order it. It was the exact same routine that I was taught; so I left the gym and do them at home now. For any pilates course, you should always go to a licensed teacher first because if you don't you might damage your spine. There are certain positions which need help at the beginning and you can't do them on your own. After that, you can buy this DVD with confidence is really good. The purpose of the pilates workout is for flexibility,back problems and posture correction. They are excellent for herniated disk, I have two and after six months practicing pilates the pain was gone for good.
Customer Review: Lays it out for you. (Also, a PC alert in this review.)
I have the DVD "Classical Pilates Technique - The Complete Mat Workout Series", which I love. But some of the stuff wasn't totally clear to me, such as when you start breathing in some of the exercises, even though it was touched on--maybe it's just me. So I got this book. When the book is open to an exercise, each exercise has a set of four pictures on the left page and on the right page there are complete instructions. I think it is useful as it is another view of what you are trying to do, so in complements the video I have. If I could only have either the book or the video, I would pick the DVD, but the book is nice to have.
A warning: Pilates, in a reference to the fact that a lot of other fitness teachers at the time were sick or had physical problems, referred to that incongruity as follows: "This is the '[N-word] in the wood pile.'" He used quotes to indicate that it was an expression, which it was at the time. This is on page 113, which is the second book within the book, originally published in 1934. Pilates himself had excellent health and was sure his system would give people excellent health.

Customer Review: One of the better ones around...
Design & Portability
I had 2 external HD's, which were 250GB and 150GB. It was in two different enclosures, so where ever I went, it was a real hassle carrying two HD's. MyBook is pretty compact with 1TB platter inside, helps slimming the width. Its piano black enclosure is really slick in HD design. I would give this HD the best design in its category. Very simplistic, no buttons, small slit of blue LED in front.
Out of the box
Everything was packed, there were no mounting the HD inside the enclosure needed, unlike my older HD's. I just had to plug and play, it was that easy!
Performance
I have used this for over a month and its performance is average. The specs is on the HD is pretty fast with 7200 rpm and 16MB buffer speed. I have always preferred firewire ports for external HD, because they pack more power which helps transfer data much faster than the USB 2.0's
I have a XP PC and I cant boot my pc if the HD is connected. I always have wait few seconds before the login screen shows up, then I connect the HD. (But if you use this with VISTA, there is no problem).
Whenever I exit from standby mode, my system recognizes the HD as if it was just plugged in... the autoplay becomes very annoying.
Software
The software which comes it it is completely useless. I would even go as far as to say dont even try it, save your energy! Its just a free trial. Download free back up software @ www.free-backup.info. It is much better than is included with the HD.
Price
I bought it for $[...] from amazon. I would expect more ports and features for this price. It does not provide great bang for your buck when competitors like Cavalry 1TB CAXM3701T0 which sells around $[...], have SATA cable and eSATA bracket (faster data transfer}!
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Recommended:
Yes
Pros
Slick shiny design, Consumer friendly, Compact and portable (1TB platter instead of 2x500GB)
Cons
average data transfer only 1 USB port, average price, software is useless
The Bottom Line
Recommended for the average pc user, if you are advanced.. checking the specs highly advised.
Customer Review: Lot of room ,but a little slow
"I bought the 1tb drive to start backup my computer. It runs Win XP home edition. I had a little difficulties with it, but not too bad beyond that, the drive has a lot of room and finally not too hard to setup. My complain is that the hard drive comes with 32 FAT format, and changing to NTFS you lose preloaded software, and valuable time(over 4 hours formating the drive).
When I first used it I noticed it was not as quite as other said, but I was told some noise is okay. I am a little worried about the drive failing so I am a little cautious about committing to it for baking up now.
I thought it would be a little faster too, but I guess that's not a big deal."
Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies for the Film Curious George (Jack Johnson)
Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies for the Film Curious George (Jack Johnson)
Faced with the task of giving a voice to a central character that does not speak, Universal Pictures turned to Jack Johnson to craft songs that could provide a voice for Curious George. As a new father, it gave him the opportunity to make an album for both parents and children. Presented with early animations and the story line, Jack crafted new songs that capture the emotions of Curious George as he leaves the jungle to follow the Man with the Yellow Hat. He also turned to friends Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa to contribute songs that might bridge the gap between parent and child. Joined on the record by his band (Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski, and Zack Gill), Jack duets with three of the other songwriters (Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa), and does a cover of the White Stripes' "We're Going to Be Friends." Parents who watched Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings when they were children will recognize Jack's take on the classic "Three Is a Magic Number," reinterpreted with the 3 R's as a call to protect the environment and Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Sing-a-Longs and Lullabies feels like so much more than your standard soundtrack due to its unified creative vision. While the songs have a universal appeal, their themes speak to a child's experience (or in this case, a curious monkey's experience) of the world.

Customer Review: We all love it!
The entire family listens to this CD. We've even burned it to our ipod so we can travel with it. The kids like to sing along, as do we. This is the album that introduced us to Jack Johnson, and now we own all of his albums that we can find.
I also love that we can listen to this one with the grandparents. My son prefers Metallica and heavy metal music, and my daughter, Jack Johnson or Peter, Paul, and Mary. We listen to a wide variety of music at our house.
Another good point is that this isn't the traditional 'kiddie' fare - I don't care for the children's albums in general - too cheesy and well, intended for kids. This album appeals to all of us, regardless of age. Anyone who has ever been subjected to lengthy car rides with toddlers and toddler oriente music will understand what I'm talking about. There are only so many times an adult should sing BINGO or Itsy Bitsy Spider. Really.
Customer Review: Amazing!
I loved the CD! I definately reccomend it to anyone who is a Jack Johnson fan. You would think that a children's Movie soundtrack would be silly, but it's great!

Customer Review: Angel Sales I Sight Light
I was really disappointed in the quality of the Angel Sales I Sight Light. Granted, it only cost $12.95, but it only lasted one day. We were not rough on it and used it exactly the way it was meant to be used and yet it stopped working after a few uses. Don't waste your money.
Customer Review: great concept but..
I bought 2 of these to try out, because one spot light usually creates too much shadows when you are reading, and with this product ,one is not bright enough for reading.
The biggest problem when trying to buy LED lights is that they don't specify the brightness of the light like other types of illumination products, there are no units of Watts, Lux or even mcd number for this unit, even on the package, all it says " Powerful Ultra-Bright white lifetime LED" no way to compare to other LEDs out there in the effective brightness. Although I quick search on the internet showed that these small 5mm LEDs come in brightness ranging from 800 to over 30,000 mcd (millicandles), You don't have to care about this if all you need is a task light to work under the sink, but if you want to do some precisiong work then this becomes essential info.
This unit is VERY bright if you use it to see in pitch dark places (one unit is bright enough) if you want to use this to read in the dark, you will probably be better off using 2 units together, one on each ear, this way you have more light, less shadow and your eyes don't get tired fast.
I actually bought these to work on some precise lab work; I thought they would be lighter than the Halogen Headlamp I am currently using,
2 problems; these LEDs are not bright at all if you have ambient light. And the biggest weakness of this product is the EAR Ring,
It is made of Hard Stiff THIN plastic which makes it very uncomfortable after a while. Which I hope they'll fix in the future.
Also it is hard to adjust where the beam falls.
All in all, Great Flash light replacement, Nice reading light.

Customer Review: One more manual -- and thats all.
I own a couple of repair manuals and this one isn't the best. I'm not much of a mechanic and don't find working with engines easy to do, as do many guys. Thus I've been looking for an engine repair manual which will take me through every step necessary in order to maintain and repair an engine -- this one isn't it (at least not for me). Another reviewer of this book found it to be too simple where as I find that it, like most other books of this nature, assumes the reader knows the jargon and understands the principles fairly well to start with. This book, at least for me, left much to be desired. I don't think it is as good as the Briggs and Stratton manual. It covers more engine types but does so in less detail and with less step by step directives. If you are the type of person who doesn't have a technical mind (and I don't) and doesn't easily understand mechanical devises (and I don't), I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

Customer Review: Gives me hope
So why am I reviewing a CD that already has 433 reviews? Because I am of an older generation (in my late 40's) and find many songs on this CD to be reassuring that there is hope for my kids generation beyond the mass produced sex pop stars.
John Mayer writes intelligent songs and puts them to real music (Not just the average Brittany Spears/ Paris Hilton sex appeal - which definitely has its place). He plays a bluesy guitar and sings with feeling and emotion. "Waiting on the world to change" is a great song. There are some good love songs as well and Mayer has a good voice which suits the music. My kids listen to this and I approve because it is more sophisticated than a lot of the other pop music that they bring home. I try to be open and encourage my kids to learn about music and it's messaging. A lot of it is crap and there will always be more of it out there. But this is different and I hope John Mayer keeps putting this kind of quality out.

A Featured book value ArticleThe Use of Audiobooks on the iPod is on the Rise
iPod and MP3 players are becoming omnipresent. Everywhere you go, you see the familiar headphones in someone?s ears. And with the busy lifestyles we live, it is no wonder that audiobook sales are soaring. The combination of audiobooks and iPods are now making it possible for people to listen to their books on tape, or audiobooks where ever they go.
Apple and its many retail partners managed to sell 88 iPods per minute in 2006 which totaled 46,432,000 iPods sold. That is more then 1 iPod sold per second! The Christmas season from October and December were obviously the busiest of the year.
IPod sales look to continue to grow in 2007. In the first quarter of 2006, total iPods sold were 8.53 million. It is estimated that for the first quarter of 2007 iPod sales will be over 10 million. Some predict that the new iPhone will slow down iPod sales, but others feel the iPhone will not be competition due to its US $500 Price plus associated fees.
Audiobook sales have also been soaring. In 2005, audiobook sales totaled $871 million. Audio books are getting a boost in sales due to the rise in popularity of downloadable audiobooks which represented 9 percent of total audio book sales in 2005. While that number may seem small, it is a 50 percent increase in sales from 2004. It is fair to predict that audiobook downloads are going to continue to rise due to the rise in popularity of iPods and MP3 players.
Another reason audiobook download sales are going to continue to soar is that as of this year, almost all new cars are now capable of playing digital audio files. 97 million Americans drive alone to work everyday, and commuters are stuck in traffic an average of 62 hours per year. That is 32 percent of the entire U.S. population, and that does not even include those who commute by bike, bus, train or car pool. Now that audiobooks can be played so easily in cars and on iPods, it?s easy to see that audiobook download sales are going to skyrocket even further.
It is clear that with the rise in iPods and MP3 players, and the rise in audiobook downloads go hand in hand. Listening to your audiobooks on iPods is a great way to maximize your time. It seems to be harder then ever to find the time to read. We can now find time to read, or rather listen thanks to our trusted iPods and MP3 players.
We can multi-task by listening to our audiobooks as we exercise, clean the house, commute to work, or even just listen to as we relax. In fact, there are several audiobook titles that are designed to help you fall asleep and to relax.
Many businessmen love listening to their sales or motivation audiobooks. Students are listening to assigned literature on their iPods as audiobooks. People are learning a foreign language with audiobooks. And couples are saving their relationships by listening to audiobooks.

Customer Review: One of the better ones around...
Design & Portability
I had 2 external HD's, which were 250GB and 150GB. It was in two different enclosures, so where ever I went, it was a real hassle carrying two HD's. MyBook is pretty compact with 1TB platter inside, helps slimming the width. Its piano black enclosure is really slick in HD design. I would give this HD the best design in its category. Very simplistic, no buttons, small slit of blue LED in front.
Out of the box
Everything was packed, there were no mounting the HD inside the enclosure needed, unlike my older HD's. I just had to plug and play, it was that easy!
Performance
I have used this for over a month and its performance is average. The specs is on the HD is pretty fast with 7200 rpm and 16MB buffer speed. I have always preferred firewire ports for external HD, because they pack more power which helps transfer data much faster than the USB 2.0's
I have a XP PC and I cant boot my pc if the HD is connected. I always have wait few seconds before the login screen shows up, then I connect the HD. (But if you use this with VISTA, there is no problem).
Whenever I exit from standby mode, my system recognizes the HD as if it was just plugged in... the autoplay becomes very annoying.
Software
The software which comes it it is completely useless. I would even go as far as to say dont even try it, save your energy! Its just a free trial. Download free back up software @ www.free-backup.info. It is much better than is included with the HD.
Price
I bought it for $[...] from amazon. I would expect more ports and features for this price. It does not provide great bang for your buck when competitors like Cavalry 1TB CAXM3701T0 which sells around $[...], have SATA cable and eSATA bracket (faster data transfer}!
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Recommended:
Yes
Pros
Slick shiny design, Consumer friendly, Compact and portable (1TB platter instead of 2x500GB)
Cons
average data transfer only 1 USB port, average price, software is useless
The Bottom Line
Recommended for the average pc user, if you are advanced.. checking the specs highly advised.
Customer Review: Lot of room ,but a little slow
"I bought the 1tb drive to start backup my computer. It runs Win XP home edition. I had a little difficulties with it, but not too bad beyond that, the drive has a lot of room and finally not too hard to setup. My complain is that the hard drive comes with 32 FAT format, and changing to NTFS you lose preloaded software, and valuable time(over 4 hours formating the drive).
When I first used it I noticed it was not as quite as other said, but I was told some noise is okay. I am a little worried about the drive failing so I am a little cautious about committing to it for baking up now.
I thought it would be a little faster too, but I guess that's not a big deal."
Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies for the Film Curious George (Jack Johnson)
Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies for the Film Curious George (Jack Johnson)
Faced with the task of giving a voice to a central character that does not speak, Universal Pictures turned to Jack Johnson to craft songs that could provide a voice for Curious George. As a new father, it gave him the opportunity to make an album for both parents and children. Presented with early animations and the story line, Jack crafted new songs that capture the emotions of Curious George as he leaves the jungle to follow the Man with the Yellow Hat. He also turned to friends Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa to contribute songs that might bridge the gap between parent and child. Joined on the record by his band (Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski, and Zack Gill), Jack duets with three of the other songwriters (Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa), and does a cover of the White Stripes' "We're Going to Be Friends." Parents who watched Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings when they were children will recognize Jack's take on the classic "Three Is a Magic Number," reinterpreted with the 3 R's as a call to protect the environment and Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Sing-a-Longs and Lullabies feels like so much more than your standard soundtrack due to its unified creative vision. While the songs have a universal appeal, their themes speak to a child's experience (or in this case, a curious monkey's experience) of the world.

Customer Review: We all love it!
The entire family listens to this CD. We've even burned it to our ipod so we can travel with it. The kids like to sing along, as do we. This is the album that introduced us to Jack Johnson, and now we own all of his albums that we can find.
I also love that we can listen to this one with the grandparents. My son prefers Metallica and heavy metal music, and my daughter, Jack Johnson or Peter, Paul, and Mary. We listen to a wide variety of music at our house.
Another good point is that this isn't the traditional 'kiddie' fare - I don't care for the children's albums in general - too cheesy and well, intended for kids. This album appeals to all of us, regardless of age. Anyone who has ever been subjected to lengthy car rides with toddlers and toddler oriente music will understand what I'm talking about. There are only so many times an adult should sing BINGO or Itsy Bitsy Spider. Really.
Customer Review: Amazing!
I loved the CD! I definately reccomend it to anyone who is a Jack Johnson fan. You would think that a children's Movie soundtrack would be silly, but it's great!

Customer Review: Angel Sales I Sight Light
I was really disappointed in the quality of the Angel Sales I Sight Light. Granted, it only cost $12.95, but it only lasted one day. We were not rough on it and used it exactly the way it was meant to be used and yet it stopped working after a few uses. Don't waste your money.
Customer Review: great concept but..
I bought 2 of these to try out, because one spot light usually creates too much shadows when you are reading, and with this product ,one is not bright enough for reading.
The biggest problem when trying to buy LED lights is that they don't specify the brightness of the light like other types of illumination products, there are no units of Watts, Lux or even mcd number for this unit, even on the package, all it says " Powerful Ultra-Bright white lifetime LED" no way to compare to other LEDs out there in the effective brightness. Although I quick search on the internet showed that these small 5mm LEDs come in brightness ranging from 800 to over 30,000 mcd (millicandles), You don't have to care about this if all you need is a task light to work under the sink, but if you want to do some precisiong work then this becomes essential info.
This unit is VERY bright if you use it to see in pitch dark places (one unit is bright enough) if you want to use this to read in the dark, you will probably be better off using 2 units together, one on each ear, this way you have more light, less shadow and your eyes don't get tired fast.
I actually bought these to work on some precise lab work; I thought they would be lighter than the Halogen Headlamp I am currently using,
2 problems; these LEDs are not bright at all if you have ambient light. And the biggest weakness of this product is the EAR Ring,
It is made of Hard Stiff THIN plastic which makes it very uncomfortable after a while. Which I hope they'll fix in the future.
Also it is hard to adjust where the beam falls.
All in all, Great Flash light replacement, Nice reading light.

Customer Review: One more manual -- and thats all.
I own a couple of repair manuals and this one isn't the best. I'm not much of a mechanic and don't find working with engines easy to do, as do many guys. Thus I've been looking for an engine repair manual which will take me through every step necessary in order to maintain and repair an engine -- this one isn't it (at least not for me). Another reviewer of this book found it to be too simple where as I find that it, like most other books of this nature, assumes the reader knows the jargon and understands the principles fairly well to start with. This book, at least for me, left much to be desired. I don't think it is as good as the Briggs and Stratton manual. It covers more engine types but does so in less detail and with less step by step directives. If you are the type of person who doesn't have a technical mind (and I don't) and doesn't easily understand mechanical devises (and I don't), I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

John Mayer's third studio album follows the multi-platinum "Room for Squares" (2001) and "Heavier Things" (2003), and marks his first turn as producer. It is his most soulful, cohesive collection yet and he says it's no accident that this project is where all of his efforts, his potential, and his disparate influences fully come together.

Customer Review: Gives me hope
So why am I reviewing a CD that already has 433 reviews? Because I am of an older generation (in my late 40's) and find many songs on this CD to be reassuring that there is hope for my kids generation beyond the mass produced sex pop stars.
John Mayer writes intelligent songs and puts them to real music (Not just the average Brittany Spears/ Paris Hilton sex appeal - which definitely has its place). He plays a bluesy guitar and sings with feeling and emotion. "Waiting on the world to change" is a great song. There are some good love songs as well and Mayer has a good voice which suits the music. My kids listen to this and I approve because it is more sophisticated than a lot of the other pop music that they bring home. I try to be open and encourage my kids to learn about music and it's messaging. A lot of it is crap and there will always be more of it out there. But this is different and I hope John Mayer keeps putting this kind of quality out.
Customer Review: Rockin
John Mayer knows pain and he can belt out a song like no other, I recommend this particular album for anyone trying to get over a break up. This album can help to heal your soul

Customer Review: BMW 1602 and 2002, 1959-77 (Haynes Manuals)
This book is very clear with great and detailed breakdowns. I recommend also getting the BMW '02 Restoration Guide (Restoration Guides) by R.M. Clarke so you get a very technical book that can help you take apart and reassemble an engine, and a book with great tips and guides!
Customer Review: Good value but no substitute for factory documentation
This book, as in all Haynes Manuals are a good value but be aware that it is lacking in some year to year specific information. It also costs much, much less than the factory docs too!

My first book review is on ‘Getting Real‘ by 37signals who develop some fantastic software including Basecamp which I use as my preferred project management tool. In 37signals’ words, “Getting real is all about being able to change on the fly”. The book is specifically written for people wanting to build smart web applications, but with most businesses needing web presence these days, I think its advice is relevant to all who want to be successful at business in the 21st century.
