Ms. Seal has put together a valid and worthy book about the need for changes in how interpreters are trained who will be interpreting in education environments. With the push for inclusion and placement of deaf and hard-of-hearing children in public schools, it is more than about time that someone wrote concerning the need for more intensive training of interpreters to keep up with the knowledge base and subjects that are required in school. In a situation where information is received non-directly from the teacher, if the interpreter doesn't know or understand the subject, faulty information is given to the student. Yet when the student makes the mistakes on testing because of misinformation, it is they who must pay the price. This is not a funny subject, but since I've been through college with a variety of interpreters with different abilities, I understand of what Ms. Seal speaks. In a neuroscience medical class, an interpreter who was hired because he was cheap and had no certification, misinterpreted the medical term 'olfactory' as 'old factory'. That was bad enough for an adult, but to give that type of information to children on which to base continued learning would be a crime. This book should be read by all those in special education and those training interpreters throughout the U.S.--it should definitely be required reading, and I plan to use it in future teaching and recommendations to science teachers through out the U.S. Karen Sadler University of Pittsburgh

Was 9/11 foretold by the Bible?

This event and many others throughout history were predicted in the book of Revelation. "Bind Up the Testimony, Seal the Law," arranged and paraphrased by Bonita M. Quesinberry, R.C., guides the reader through the seven church ages: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and the final, Laodicea. This last age is the time we live in now, counting down the last days of the world as we know it. Paraphrasing God's word, the author clearly shows why we are living in end times and how to find the related proof in the verses of the Bible. The 'Study Hints and Helpful Data' section is well worth the price of the book on its own, providing the reader with information on alleged Bible codes and other false teachings.

Just as follows any earthly battle, plans follow for reconstruction. The book concludes with prophecy on 'Regeneration of Earth and of the Heavens.' What's to come isn't pretty, especially for non-believers, and the author states 'this book isn't for everyone. It is not for the faint of heart or fearful. It is for those whom God has called then chosen to
follow His son Jesus.' This reviewer recommends it to anyone seeking the truth about the future, straight from the Bible.

It is little known to Americans that, during WW2, an elite commando detachment of the Soviet Northern Fleet was formed to conduct raids on enemy bases in Finland and Norway. Their mission was largely to provide support for Allied convoys along the most perilous passage of the North Atlantic route to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. This book contains the translated memoir of Viktor Leonov, twice-decorated recipient of the highest military honor, Hero of the Soviet Union. In his own words, he tells of his team's specialized training and the daring strikes they conducted, greatly outnumbered, against the enemy. The action and adventure is fast-paced and reminiscent of that in Marcinko's "Rogue Warrior" series, but its presentation is delivered with more restraint. Like all Soviet war-memoirs, Leonov's account is straight-forward and tends to emphasize the strong camaraderie and patriotism of his unit. More attention is paid to the deeds of his comrades than to his own heroism, so that the reader feels personally acquainted with each man. Eight pages of wartime photos are included. Accompanying the story are hundreds of footnotes. Some of these provide additional personal information and anecdote. Others cross-reference previously unobtainable Soviet military sources with German records. Besides verifying the accuracy of Leonov's memoir, these provide historical background data of great value. So numerous and fascinating are the footnotes, that I had to read the book with one finger marking place in the Appendix. This proved quite distracting to the flow of the narrative, so upon completion I reread it. I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in World War 2, Soviet military operations, or special-warfare.

After having quadruple bypass, open heart surgery, I thought, "What could this program do for me?" How about a new life! I originally purchased Mark De Lisle's first book, "Navy SEAL Workout." The results I experienced were nothing less than phenomenal. As soon as I found out that Mark had completed "Breakthrough To Master Level Fitness," I had to have a copy. Breakthrough blows away anything else I have encountered in the fitness market. I have purchased other Navy SEAL workout books and videos but they were either too incomplete or did not sufficiently layout an effective program. Breakthrough however, contains exercises for upper body, legs, cardio workouts, sprints, long distance running, abs and plateau breakers such as Burn Outs, Intervals, and Circuit Training. And with 12 Weeks To Better Than Ever, which lays out routines on a day by day basis, you can't wander off the path to improvement.

With the 12 Weeks, I simply took the evaluation test and checked off each day. The routines were laid out right before me. It even told me when to do my burn outs, intervals and circuits. With the new book combo, I have been able to take myself up another notch. For a middle-aged business executive with heart disease, I need every edge I can get. I highly recommend this book combo over any other SEAL/fitness exercise book or video. Thank you Mark De Lisle, your program is saving my life and dramatically improving my lifestyle.

This is the first occult novel since the works of Dion Fortune that I can honestly recommend to the occult community. In the tradition of "The Secrets of Dr. Taverner", Paul Clark communicates "little known aspects of occult psychology." Communicated in this manner, the principles of occultism are more readily assimilated by the sub-conscious mind. I really
began to feel as if I knew many of the characters and often felt as if I were experiencing the events in the story first hand. Paul Clark is an excellent story teller and I look forward
to reading more of his occult fiction.

Oh, I just love exciting stories like this one. Broken Seals:No Safe Place, by Larry Simmons, is a real edge of your chair thriller as a nightmare turns reality when a terrorist group calling themselves The Yassinists plots against the United States in retribution for the years of suffering the Palestinians have suffered at the hands of Israel.

This very academic book covers the use of heraldry by the government in Canada from the earliest days (when it was still New France) until the date of publication. It covers the histories of the arms of the colonies, the Dominion, and the provinces, as well as the arms fo the governors and governors general. The information is a bit dated, as there have been significant changes to the arms of the provinces and the national arms since publication (mostly due to the efforts of the Canadian Heraldry Authority), but until a new edition is released, this is a required reference for any student of eraldry on this continent.

I've just finished reading this book. This is great read. WOW! It kept me reading from cover to cover and I couldn't put it down. The author should have this book made into a action pack movie. Seriously. Couldn't you see an actor like Harrison Ford, playing the lead role as Lieutenant Commander Blake Murdock? Or even, Jason O'Mara (The Agency) who also played in Band of Brothers as Lt. Thomas Meehan? How about actor, Wilem Dafoe, playing the role of David "Jaybird" Sterling, Machinist's Mate First Class Lead Petty Officer, who has a quick mind and is a fine tactician-he would be great in this role. Or, how about making this book and some of the others in this series into a TV miniseries? I've just purchase the Ambush and just now getting into Payback. These books are great and now I want to order the rest in the Seal Team Seven series.

Loved it! Nice message & morals, but plenty of heat! Good for teenagers and adults alike. Perfect beach-type read. Buy it!
