For those who grieve.......2005-06-04

This book is a positive look at the grieving process as told by Stephanie Adams who lost a loved one and writes of this experience. The book is a rather simple and honest look at all that goes on when we lose someone dear to us and gives us some ideas on how to handle that process.

"He Only Takes the Best" is not a deep and ponderous tome. What it does is go right to the point on how awful it is to lose a dear one and gives us things we can do to get past that process and move on.

Months ago I lost my mom and am always looking for ideas on how to put this devastating experience in some context. Stephanie's book did help in that process and gave me some thoughts to grasp onto and process for which I am grateful.

If you lost a loved one, then this book will be a help to you.

If You've Ever Thought of Revenge..........2007-07-09

The series is of a Sisterhood, created by a very wealthy Mrya, whose daughter was killed by the son of diplomat in a hit and run incident. The son could not be prosecuted due to his diplomatic status. The other members of the group also have been through experiences where the justice system let them down. Add in an ex spy and it is a fun tale of revenge. Each book takes on the case of one of the sisters in the sisterhood.

Actually, this is the second time I have read this book. I read it two years ago, not knowing that it was the beginning of a series. I recently came upon the next few books in the series and didn't remember enough of this book, so I read it again. It was just as fun the second time around. It is outrageous in parts and could never happen, but the idea of it is amusing. It is a fast, escapist read.

Fern Michaels Sisterhood series.......2007-05-30

What a concept; reeking revenge on those who hide from the law. And women too! Great stories that keep you turning the page and waiting for the next in the series. I had to go back and buy the first ones to complete the series so far. Just bought the latest too!

Opening Salvo!.......2007-05-17

Mystery fans alert. I came to this book late in the series: fiction impells the reader, for a few hours, to suspend belief. Fern Michaels' Sisterhood Series does just that for anyone who has had to endure an injustice. The unfairness of any situation, major or minor, where the victim cannot strike back endures for a lifetime, for both sexes.
Ms. Michaels' beginner "Weekend Warriors" pulls the reader back to discover the connections and events leading to later books. A delightful read, anytime. Nash Black, "Taxes, Stumbling Blocks and Pitfalls 2007" and "Qualifying Laps."

Weekend Warriors.......2007-03-14

I really enjoyed this book. I have read all the books in this series and I like anything by Fern Michaels.

Fern Michaels - One of My Favorite Authors.......2007-03-03

I've enjoyed this entire series and this one, although as far fetched as the others kept me interested. A quick read, good for a plane or the beach.

Great for the Beginner but still Darn Good for Anyone.......2007-10-15

I've written a couple of 1-star product reviews, so it's about time I had something good to say. (See, I actually was paying attention, Mom!)

This book contains a load of beginner-oriented advice on equipment buying. Unfortunately, I learned a few of the lessons the hard way when I started playing a few years ago. There is also plenty of info relevant to the more experienced player, such as which portions of a skate boot can be custom fit and how it is done. I didn't know that helmets had expiration dates, did you? It makes perfect sense; all my safety equipment at work has one, so why not a hockey helmet? It's just something I never thought about.

Everything is presented with an incredible sense of humor, making it a quick and easy read. The various "why not to buy used equipment" parts are particularly amusing (to me). I also like the handy tip about using the face mask as a bottle opener.

If you are just thinking about playing hockey or if you are in the market for some new equipment, this is well worth the $10. I wish I had read this before I purchased my first stuff a few years ago.

Excellent book full of humor...perfect for any beginner.......2007-07-30

This book was great. It helped straighten out a few things I was not sure about with equipment in hockey and how it should fit. Wish I had bought it before I started my first season instead of half way through. His humor is great and most of what he jokes about if you've played hockey you can relate too. Several times I found myself laughing out loud. This isn't going to tell you what drills to work on to be a good player, or even how to shoot a puck better than you do already. What this will do is explain the equipment, what its used for, how to wear it, and when to buy it. He goes through every piece of the sport that a new person should get to know before going out and playing. Explaining the positions, the rules, getting in with the refs, rec league stuff, and even what beer to bring for after the game with your new team. This book is a must read for any new hockey player and would be a great read for those who have played hockey just to get some good laughs. Its not a long book so it should take much to knock it out even if your not much of a reader (like me).

For the Rookie, and the Skate Buyer.......2005-11-12

A fun read. For the rookie, a great book to provide some street (or rink) smarts. For more experienced players it includes great information on buying new equipment. The chapter on skate buying is probably the best, and will save people (or at the very least be worth) the $10 they pay for the book in getting the right skates. Doesn't include much in the way of even basic strategy, which could maybe be volume 2.

Witty and great insight.......2005-09-14

I loved reading Noble's book. I have played hockey for over two decades and still learned what he had to offer. While the book is geared towards those interested in beginning to play hockey, I highly enjoyed the witty humor and insight into the game.

Book Description

Focusing on the players rather than the game itself, this collection of biographies of the leading athletes in the National Lacrosse League offers fans a closer look at these famous weekend warriors. Playing for the love of the game, with much lower salaries than other professional athletes, these sports celebrities all have weekday jobs. Readers will be intrigued to see their favorite players in their other roles as teachers, athletic coaches, or executives. Along with profiles of major league lacrosse players and the special skills it takes to have two often intense jobs, inside information is given on the National Lacrosse League.

Interesting summaries of Lacrosse players.......2007-07-18

This was a very professionally written account of the lives of 15 very diverse people who also happen to be professional lacrosse players. The book really makes you view these athletes as interested in their sport, valued members of their community, and very different from the multi-million dollar primma donnas who play other professional sports. I definitely recommend this book.

stories of professional lacrosse players.......2007-05-09

This book is filled with stories of professional lacrosse players. The players are atypical from other professional sports players, who are often filled with self-admiration and greed. Yet, they are not exactly everyday people either. The players do have full time jobs and families, but many of them are in noble fields such as teaching, law enforcement, the armed forces, fire fighting... Of course, it takes a noble character to be devoted to such an underpaid and under-appreciated sport. The players sacrifice their bodies, time, and some family commitments for the love of their sport. The writing is clever, and the author gives good insight about the players' individuality, achievements, reminiscences, and dedication.

"Great Book about NLL Lacrosse".......2007-04-14

After the Duke Lacrosse scandal, it was refreshing to see an upbeat well-written book about lacrosse. These players truly honor their sport, and make the casual observer want to learn more. The stories were interesting, and it was a good overview of the NLL, and the players who make the league work. I really enjoyed it, and hope to see more books like it.

Fascinating Book about Lacrosse Players.......2007-04-13

This book was interesting, insightful, and sometimes even funny when explaining the lives of 15 "ordinary" people who have jobs, wives, kids, and play professional lacrosse on the weekends. It makes you realize how different pro lacrosse is from other pro sports. (And I mean that in a good way.) The writing was clear and engaging, and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Great NLL Book for Fans.......2007-04-12

It was great to finally read a good book on professional lacrosse. The writing was interesting and insightful, and provided a good mix of lacrosse history combined with people who play the game. I would definitely recommend this book for the lacrosse fanatic, or even the casual observer. I enjoyed it!

Weekend Warriors:
On the surface, these seven women are as different as can be - but each has had her share of bad luck, from cheating husbands to sexist colleagues to a legal system that often doesn't do its job. Now, drawn together by tragedy, they're forging a bond that will help them right the wrongs committed against them and discover an inner strength they didn't know they had.

Payback:
In Myra Rutledge's beautiful Virginia home, the friends have gathered to embark on their second mission. Julia Webster's husband, a U.S. Senator, has used his wife's graciousness and elegance to advance his career even as he's abused her trust at every turn and left her dreams for the future in tatters. Now, on the eve of his greatest political victory, he's about to learn a serious lesson in payback.

Vendetta:
The Sisterhood is ready to answer the call for the woman who started it all, Myra Rutledge. Five years ago, Myra's pregnant daughter was killed by a hit-and-run driver - the playboy son of an ambassador with diplomatic immunity. Myra was left to grieve while the murderer was free to return to his lavish lifestyle. But not for much longer. The Sisterhood has gathered for a little creative planning, and what they have in mind is a gift for Myra of long-awaited and very sweet revenge…

Book Description

This unique leadership development program is for the young adult who aspires to be an exemplary leader. From the college classroom to the local youth club, the Student Leadership Practices Inventory has helped thousands of young people assess their leadership potential and improve their skills. Drawing from years of impeccable research and real-world experience, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner have developed four practical resources that can be used alone or in a workshop setting: the Self, the Observer, the Student Workbook, and the Facilitator's Guide.

Both the Self and Observer are questionnaires for the student leader and the person who has observed the student in action. Each survey features thirty statements based on five important leadership practices: Challenging the Process, Inspiring a Shared Vision, Enabling Others to Act, Modeling the Way, and Encouraging the Heart. To score their results, participants will find in the Student Workbook grids for recording scores, charts for interpreting scores, and worksheets for summarizing and planning action steps.

For those who need guidance in designing and conducting a student leadership program, there is the Facilitator's Guide. In addition to detailed instructions and examples, workshop leaders will find masters for overhead transparencies and handouts, checklists for meeting the leadership challenge, normative data on different types of student leaders, and instructions for obtaining computerized scoring software.
