If there was an option for negative stars I would select it. .......2006-01-16

This book was a major disappointment and the author has given nothing new or important to the arena of Options Trading. Given that his highest recommendation is to buy out of money options in hope of a "long shot" as he puts it, I think I will look elsewhere to find better risk / reward set up's and a more strategic plan.

His "secrets" are 1 page of non-sense followed by his unwarranted bragging about how he profited from a trade similar to the strategy he explained.

All in All, this book is a joke and waste of time to anyone serious about trading options.

Good tips.......2006-01-14

After reading a lot of technical options strategy books, what I like about this book is that it is to the point, does not repeat itself much, and offers good ideas and tips. This book is good for someone that already knows the basics of options. It describes a lot of options strategies and list which ones the author thinks is most powerful. The author lists the advantages and disadvantages of the different strategies. It is up to you to decide which strategy is best suited for your risk-to-reward zone and then do some more research. This book is like a list of 101 tips. If you do not like to read books with chapters that can be summarized into a few paragraphs then this book is for you.

Marketing material?.......2005-04-27

I thought this title would be great seeing as how it was the only options book wrapped in plastic on the shelf. It's just ok. The secrets are more like "nuggets" of information and indeed, there is a bit of product hype in every secret.

Not worth its price.......2003-12-20

Absolutely primitive book.not good for a novice or a seasoned trader.Each page is used to advertise author's other products like newsletter,softwares etc.Wishing to return the book but shipment back from india is costly,so keeping it.

Book Description

Graduating from veterinary college in 1965, Jerry Haigh is transported from Scotland to the wilds of Kenya where his first patient is a giraffe with a sore foot. Not having encountered many giraffes in Scotland, he turned to his knowledge of cattle to improvise a treatment and cure the animal. By turns poignant and amusing, this memoir reveals what life was like in post-independence Kenya, a nation just making the transition out of colonialism. While living on the slopes of Mount Kenya, Haigh encounters and treats rhinos, elephants, zebras, and pelicans, as well as cattle, including those of President Jomo Kenyatta. He also meets and marries a Dutch doctor, and they combine their lives and medical skills to help both human and animal patients.

Book Description

“Take your yarn for a walk,” says author Jenny Dowde, who teaches the freeform “scrumbling” technique. With scrumbling, needleworkers can work unbound by patterns and yet still successfully knit or crochet a project. With just a range of simple stitches and only a few basic techniques, anyone can create lovely and useful household objects and eye-catching wearable art. Full-color photographs illustrate Dowde’s methods in action, from completing both basic and advanced stitches to working with wires and beads, along with a host of special techniques, including constructing buttons, unusual closures, and special accents from polymer clay.

fun, fun, fun.......2007-05-08

Great book full of ideas to create fabrics out of leftover yarns. Pictures and instructions are beautiful. Lots of inspiration.

Freeform Knitting and Crochet.......2007-02-20

This book is great! You do not need any other book to teach you this technique. If you can only do knit, purl & simple single crochet or you are an experienced "stitcher", this book will allow your "free spirit" to emerge.
The book covers everything from color spectrums to endless possibilities for using your finished art form pieces. Nothing you do is a mistake and I love the freedom of creating my own "yarn sculpture".

great for beginners, just wish there was a little more.......2006-01-28

I bought this book without looking inside, and while I really like the technical information in the book, I have a little bit of a hesitation about recommending it wholeheartedly. I think for an absolute beginner, this would be a fabulous book. It goes over everything from color design to translating that to garments. There's a short tutorial on stitches, and a gallery of basic patterns that you can customize.

For someone who's already had a fair bit of color theory, and who may just need more of the nuts-and-bolts type "here's some more stuff you can do", I think that section could have been expanded quite a bit. Overall, I'm very pleased with the book, I just wish there was more component piecing information/stitches to use. I would DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone just getting into this type of thing, however, and consider its purchase money well spent.

VERY COOL book for anyone who knits or crochets!.......2006-01-14

I was a little skeptical about how good this book would be, but boy was I pleasantly surprised! As someone who is more of a "left-brained" knitter and crocheter, I didn't know if I would ever want to do any of the projects in this book. However, even a left-brainer such as myself can get creative with the patterns and ideas in this book. Just like "Hip to Crochet," this is a book that inspires me to pick up my often-ignored crochet hook, in addition to my well-used knitting needles. I like this book so much that I just bought one for my sister who is even more left-brained than I am!

Great book to get started with freeform crochet.......2004-12-08

I read through most of this book the day I got it because it was that good. There is a section on color theory that helps you choose your yarns, and there are clear instructions on how to put together your "scrumbles" - which are the building blocks for freeform crochet. It is more step-by-step than other books on freeform, which is good for those who need it. The pictures are beautiful and inspiring, too. I'm a long-time crocheter, but I'm new to freeform. This book inspired me to work on my first freeform project - a vest. Crocheters with a desire for more creative expression will love this book!

I’m Going to Marry Mommy. Sex Is When You Kiss. I Don’t Want to Talk About It. From teaching toddlers about body parts to important discussions with adolescents, this resource encourages parents to understand what children of particular ages and developmental levels are ready to know, what they should know, and how to tell them. Real-life questions and answers encourage parents to prepare for their talks and make discussions easier. Moreover, ideas for discussing this sensitive subject with a sense of humor help take away some of the awkwardness—for both children and parents.

There are MUCH better bks out there on this topic.......2007-08-01

Written by two authors with no apparent training in this genre specifically, this work overly exaggerates family situations, delivering negative messaging in its examples. It reinforces gender stereotypes, assumes parents are quite prudish at times, and is heterosexist in places. It does have some strengths, however. The work provides sample Q&A, definitions, and suggested activities. It is also good at outlining where a child is at developmentally regarding issues that can come up.

practical and comprehensive.......2005-10-12

Excellent book, addresses so many difficult questions that kids ask. Easy to read and to reference when the time is right.

Book Description

If you're strolling a beach or ferry deck as sunset casts its glow on British Columbia's Coast Mountains, there's a good chance someone within earshot will say, "It looks just like a Toni Onley." That's how closely Onley is identified with the landscape of Canada's West Coast.

Don't be fooled. The serenity of those watercolours reflects only one facet of Onley's work--and very little of his tumultuous life. Flying Colours gives you the whole canvas, from a rustic riverbank on the Isle of Man to a plane wreck on a mountain glacier. With sly humour, disarming candour and an artist's eye for detail, Onley recalls a life of professional triumphs and personal tragedies. For a painter known for landscapes and collages, Onley proves a dab hand at word portraits, from haughty maharajahs and quirky Manxmen to the alcoholic--and even homicidal--habitués of an artists' colony in Mexico.

None is more colourful than Onley himself. From the cocky schoolboy painting an extra petal on a daffodil to the Rolls-Royce rebel facing down Revenue Canada--and winning--Onley's passion for art and zest for life leap from every page. Art lovers will cherish his lucid, unaffected insights into the creative process, not to mention the lavish illustrations, representing every stage of Onley's career.

An Officer of the Order of Canada, Toni Onley was born in 1928 on the Isle of Man, where he received his early training and was influenced by the work of the great British watercolourists. He came to Canada in 1948. Onley's work is featured in galleries around the world, including the Tate Gallery in London, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

Onley took up flying in 1965, a passion he credits with taking him to the work for which he is best known today: landscape of simplicity and power.

A witty, entertaining, yet honest & touching memoir.......1998-06-24

This book is a revelation. Imagine a memoir written by a 30-year-old; nostalgic & informative, yet hip and witty. After reading this book, I am on the lookout for John Kelly in a big way. This is an author who can tell the honest truth about an often-hard way to grow up, and make it truly funny without taking anything away from the struggle. Without question one of the most all-around satisfying books I have read in a long time. To Mr. Kelly, if you're out there - keep writing!!
