Give me a break...
Once again another worthless book. This is what one can expect when they buy a book unseen. I didn't find much of anything very useful.

Great book - easy to read - simple to do.
This book I believe is primarily aimed for those new to sys admin. Even experienced professionals would benifit though because of quite a many tidbits of valuable insight. This mainly though walks you through the many wizards providing usually more explanation that that is given by default with the OS. A new admin under my wing, has been using it and he finds that it provides confidence as he works his way through many of the tasks. Well written book with lots of pictures.

With Love, from Cynthia
I had the pleasure of taking a cooking class from Cynthia where I purchased this book. I have cooked several of the recipes (including a meal for 20 with every recipe coming from her book) and my guests and family gave the food rave reviews. The recipes are easy and practical and don't require unusual ingredients.

In addition the book is full of suggestions for variations in recipes and multiple uses for dressings and sauces.

The best part of the book is that it really is filled with love. The personal notes, quotations, and revelations from Cynthia and her family have made this a cookbook that I use in the kitchen by day, and then take to my room to read before bed. It is a treasure I will use for years to come.

Lots of Love in Every Bite
Cynthia Collins Pedregon has written three wonderful cookbooks: The Peach Tree Tea Room, The Peach Tree Family Cookbook, and With Love, From Cynthia. Each is filled with delicious recipes and notes about the foods which make you want to prepare them, share them and eat them at once. Not only does she share recipes that you and your descendants will treasure throughout the years, but also your life will be touched by hers and you will feel you have known her forever. With Love, From Cynthia is the most transparent of the three books and the one that will make you want to travel to meet her, visit her tea room, attend her cooking classes and move in with her family. With Love, From Cynthia not only shares more of her wonderful recipes, but also communicates joy, hope and a boundless love for life.

stellar
This workbook goes far beyond bland exercises to enrich the classroom with exciting and creative lessons and ideas. I recommend it both for teachers and students. It would be wonderful if it were adapted for the online world.

GREAT BOOK FOR LEARNING 1st YEAR SPANISH!
I thought that the book was well thought out and had a lot of activities that help you connect to spanish and speak it well. My father has been a spanish teacher for 25 years and he says it is like a spanish savior compared to the other stuff he has seen (and he has seen a lot).

EXCELLENT BOOK!

I liked this book
If you liked or found this book useful, you might also like "The Healing Journey Through Retirement" by Phil Rich and Dorothy Sampson. It's a book about the transition from work to retirement, and talks about how to make retirement a meaningful and satisying experience. The book provides lots of good ideas and information and uses a journal writing format.

A useful thought-provoker
This book is well-organized, thought-provoking, with helpful exercises to get you thinking about how you'll spend not only the next 50 years, but your next year or two. I found it very useful in terms of evaluating my own choices and plans, AND it has helped me broach similar issues with my mother who is moving into retirement. I highly recommend this book to anyone over thirty. Start thinking about this stuff now!


101 Reasons Why I Watch the Weather Channel

Tune in TODAY-to this little book & the Weather Channel
I have known people, highly intelligent individuals, who keep the Weather Channel on in the background throughout their active day. They know something and Kathleen Rooney knows more about this gem on national TV. Read this book, give it as a gift to friends and acquaintances. It is a fun piece of work in a world that badly needs to get back to basics. I assure you, with Ms. Rooney's insights and humor, you will come to appreciate the different personalities and insights of those famed meteorologists.

Artful and creative collection of Angels in 3-D
An engaging use of 3-D stereogram art. I enjoyed the artistic unfolding of the two-dimensional scenes into the hidden view of 3-D Angels. I was surprised by the almost photographic quality of the angels, complete with faces.

Small book that will make you think
I wasn't sure about this book when I started reading it. With the title of The 60-Second Christian, I wondered if it would it be like fast food, without much substance? I was pleasantly surprised. Although the book is thin & very easy to read, it proves to be very thought provoking. What does being a Christian boil down to? Have we made it too complicated and maybe gotten a little off-track from Jesus' teachings? This book offers some insightful, reflective basics that maybe we need to get back to.

Bien preparado
Great book for high school students preparing for the AP Exam. Very comprehensive, distinguishing between various modes of communication in Spanish, and covering all topics necessary for achieving relative fluency in writing and talking. Also covers all features of the necessary M.I.L.F. and utilizes two squirrels to effectively teach the Spanish Language in an intriguing and interesting manner. Y mas y mas y mas!

ACCESS Guides are the BEST!
I always find the ACCESS Guides to be the best travel guides overall, and look for them whenever I am about to travel to a new location. So far, I have used their guides to Alb/SantaFe/Taos, Seattle, Montreal/Quebec City, Phoenix, San Francisco, Hawaii, San Diego, and London.

I like their format - they are organized by neighborhoods, so you don't have to seach around through the book all day; and they have an empasis on restaurants and shopping, which I find the other guides don't give enough info on and which are my FAVORITE activities when travelling. Also their print is large, clear, and color coded, which also makes it easy to find what you want (restaurants in one color, shopping in another, tourist sites in another).

It's the best guide to carry around each day while travelling.
