Another example of great product ruined by cutting corners.......2005-02-28

The 365 Cats Page-A-Day Calendar for 2004 was a favorite of my family: large format excellent photographs in a sturdy holder. Everything about the 2005 version says cheap and minimal production cost: small low quality photos in a flimsy holder with text instead of cativating photos. Who wants to read a lot of useless text on a cat calendar? Where are the charming photos?

Couldn't Start the New Year Without It!!!.......2004-12-23

Last year I got 2004's 365 Cats Page-a-day calendar as a Christmas present from someone I work with, and I love it so much that I just ordered the 2005 one for myself. The cats in the pictures are so lovely and cute. Even though my husband and I have five darling cats of our own, I still look forward to seeing what the cat of the day looks like. (Sometimes it's hard not to cheat and look ahead at the upcoming days.) If they're extremely cute, I'll leave them around in a place where my husband will see it when he wakes up in the morning. I highly recommend this for cat lovers!

The One and Only Cat Calendar.......2004-10-05

This is an essential calendar for cat lovers. I have been using the cats page-a-day calendar since it was printed in black-and-white (and just got my 2005). It has and good mix of funny snapshots along with well-posed photographs of cats. Award winning photographs are presented at the beginning of the year and for each week. Each day offers some bit of good information, quotes, facts about cats or just the story behind the photograph. It is a calendar that I like to page through and I save the discarded days for use as scratch paper. The plastic base can be recycled at the end of the year. All cat lovers should have one.

A good read and useful info.......2003-11-06

This book doesn't try to be a comprehensive guide to air travel; it simply presents some very good tips to use while traveling. I've benefited from quite a few of the tips and use a few more on each trip. I enjoyed the anecdotes. Great book to read on a plane.

Re-hash of old ideas.......1999-01-15

I'm embarrassed to admit that I purchased this book. If you have any travel experience, you already know this information. Pages 99-140 are travel acecdotes that don't illustrate any particular point. The issue of commissions for travel agents is in a state of flux and will continue to be for some time. Look at ASTAnet.com (the official website of the American Society of Travel Agents) to get more up-to-date information than what you can find here. Save your money for your trip.

ASIN: 0812974506
Release Date: 2005-01-11

Amazon.com

Merrill Markoe, the creator of "Stupid Pet Tricks," won four Emmy awards for her work on the David Letterman show. In these sidesplitting essays--from "The Wacky World of Men" to "An Insider's Guide to the American Woman" to "Showering with Your Dog"--she reveals what she's learned about life from "dogs, celebrities, bachelors, and other beasts."

In Markoe's words, "I pick dogs that remind me of myself--scrappy, mutt-faced, with a hint of mange. People look for a reflection of their own personalities or the person they dream of being in the eyes of an animal companion. That is the reason I sometimes look into the face of my dog Stan and see wistful sadness and existential angst, when all he is actually doing is slowly scanning the ceiling for flies."

Following a collection of sparkling chapters on cultural phenomena--from the "Creeping Gabor Syndrome" (the terror of turning into Zsa Zsa Gabor) to what happens to you when you live alone (and the eight things you can do because there's no one there to stop you)--the last chapter outlines the many lessons Markoe has learned from her dogs: "If you see something you want, and all your other attempts at getting it have failed, it is only right to grovel shamelessly. As a second tactic, stare intently at the object of your desire, allowing long gelatinous drools to leak like icicles from your lips."

Book Description

Award-winning comedy writer Merrill Markoe, the slightly warped mind behind Stupid Pet Tricks, is an old hand with dogs. She knows who’s boss (they are) and the myriad ways a loving pet can make you feel guilty twenty-four hours a day. This new edition of Merrill Markoe’s classic collection of humorous essays gives readers the choicest selections along with brand-new material.

In these razor-sharp essays, Markoe recounts her dogs’ phone chats with animal communicators, her search for past lives, and her brief stint as a stun gun saleswoman. She describes the workshop that taught her how to launch an Internet porn business and another that gave proper instruction in the esoteric art of becoming a dominatrix.

She shares insight into what it is like to structure your day using only dog rules, how to spot a really horrible restaurant, and what it’s like to have a romantic dinner with Fabio. There’s even a bright side to preparing for the apocalypse: “At last, it is time to forget about fat grams and low cholesterol.” This enchantingly rambunctious and boundlessly enjoyable book gives you Merrill Markoe at her best. You’ll devour it in one sitting (and so may your pet).

Merrill Markoe at her best!.......2007-07-30

I bought TWO copies of this - - one for me - - I LOVE Merrill's work, and one for a friend who was home recuperating from knee surgery. We shared our thoughts on her funniest essays! A winner!

AVOID at all costs.......2006-08-02

As a great fan of dog stories, I had enjoyed one of this author's tales excerpted in a dog story anthology, and thought that I might relish more of her work. Was I ever WRONG!!! Half or less of the book was related to canines, and then often remotely. Many of her works (this is a compendium of essays) are spoiled by her frequent use of the most vile, crude, and vulgar expletives, always unnecessary and adding nothing to the story. Although humorous on the rarest of occasions, this tome consists mainly of the mindless babblings of the typically self-loathing liberal. Unfit even as a chew toy for your pup!

Great book. Hilarious. I loved it........2005-03-02

This book is so freakin' funny I almost can't stand it. The back of my head aches from laughing. All her writing is perfect. She's the kind of girl you want to hang out with so you start sounding like her after a while.

Laugh Out Loud and Until You're Crying.......1999-05-08

i think this is probably the funniest book i've ever read ... people hearing you laugh while reading this will think you have gone insane and you will want to read it to them ... after reading this, i had hoped that merrill markoe had written dozens of other books, but alas, i only found one other (which was also very funny) ... maybe she'll read this and publish more. hope so.

Book Description

Motown .......2007-08-13

My husband is love with this bass gautairist, and love this book and DVD combo.

An absolute must for any aspiring bassist.......2007-08-01

First off, this book does an excellent job describing his life and sounds, from "he began playing a double bass" to "he would have the bass all the way up, and the treble half way." This book knows you want to sound like Jamerson, and it tells you just how to do that. What makes the book invaluable are the transcriptions. 49 of Jamerson's songs transcribed for you to play, right there and be able to get the idea of what he was thinking and trying to give when he wrote the basslines.

A book for any bassist.

Amazing!!! It's ALL that!!.......2007-05-04

Thorough, well-researched biography of James Jamerson - the man who changed how musicians view the bass. What an amazing life and a tragic end for a musician of immense talent.

Warning - the section of tunes in the back of this book will make you want to burn your bass!! He was THAT good.

Can't really write more - gotta go practice.... That's how much this book will inspire you to go play. A MUST HAVE for your bass library.

Play bass? Buy this!.......2007-03-20

Amazing learning tool filled with lots of great info and transcriptions.

Great for bass players and motown fans.......2007-01-05

Comes with a CD of some classic Motown songs. The CD has half time versions of some of the more difficult songs. Has great interviews with major bass players and Tabbed licks to go with the CD.

I highly recommend this if you want to learn Jamerson's style.

Motown Bass a Go Go.......2007-08-16

Excellent book. The transcriptions are spot-on, and for those music efficianodoes, the theory-based explanations are great. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is the recording quality is less than stellar.

A big dissappointment.......2005-07-19

I am very dissappointed with this product. I will start with some obvious errors in the text of the booklet. I will avoid commenting on the technical aspects because I am a beginner. However, I consider myself a fair historian with regards to Motown music. Some of my comments may appear nit-picky, however, I discovered quite a few mistakes in just a brief glance through the book. This makes me wonder about the accuracy of the technical portion. First, the choice of cover picture seems inappropriate. The title of this product is 'Motown Bass' with a focus on legendary bassist James Jamerson. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to at least have Jamerson's picture on the cover. The introduction to 'I heard it through the Grapevine' appears to contain erroneous information. Marvin Gaye actually recorded his verions first but Gladys Knight's version, while recorded about a year later, was released first (1967) Gayes version was released around 1970.
'Gettin Ready' has Rare Earth boldly listed alongside it. While Rare Earth did record a cover of 'Gettin Ready', it was originally released in 1966 and was a moderate success for the Temptations, not Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, although it was written by Smokey. As for Mary Wells 'My Guy' the opening piece was actually lifted from 'Canadian Sunset' not 'Begin the Beguine'. Finally, James Jamerson was credited for playing practially all the bass with the exception of a few self- contained groups (Rare Earth and Jr. Walker and the All Stars), actually, Jamerson played on many of Jr. Walker's hits. It makes me wonder what types of errors are present on the technical aspects of this book. In addition, the CD was poor. There is a much superior 2-CD sampling of Jamerson (and Motown) work on Dr. Licks - 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown: The Life and Times of Legenary Motown Bassist James Jamerson. In addition, the soundtrack to the movie 'Standing in the Shadow of Motown' (Disc 2) featuring the Funk Brothers is excellent, highlighting James work along with the other exceptional musicians at Motown.

very interesting and informative.......2005-02-21

i bought this book a few years ago and just checked if it's still available. very astonishing how little people seem to understand that there is a difference between skinheads and boneheads. sounds like they didn't really read the book...

living in berlin, germany i do see both sides plus the gay part, and i think that this book is a good source for those who want to know a bit more about the whole thing.

Excellent book.......2003-07-14

For those who are interested in in Gay studies or the study of subcultures in Sociology, this is a great book.
For those who have an agenda (such as some American skinheads and a couple other reviewers here) it might not be so great.

Some skins take issue with the idea of gay skinheads actually even existing, imagining a necessary distinction between being Gay and embracing a subcultural construct, like "skinhead." For them such men aren't "real skinheads." Unfortunately this perspective misses the mark, and the point (in part) of the book: Gay cultural identity, as distinct from Gay being, is as much a social construct as skinhead identity, punk identity, hip hop identity, etc.. More importantly in respect to skinheads and this book, Gay cultural identity has often been about appropriating and (at times) even co-opting images of masculinity within the culture at large. This book (and a little time in London) simply point this fact out as it relates to skinhead identity.
Perhaps some skinheads feel more comfortable imagining their chosen identity is somehow intrinsic to their nature, but all one has to do to disprove this is line up a bunch of skins. One will find differing groups with differing definitions of what constitutes an authentic skinhead...racism, anti-racism, leftism, rightism, class identity, etc.. In the final analysis the only common trait IS shaving ones head, wearing docs and shouting Oi!
The beauty of this book can only be appreciated from a cultural studies perspective focused on gender identity issues and Gay issues. I guess it could also be appreciated from a strictly Gay perspective too...but probablly not much.
If you're a skinhead simply looking for a book for and by whatever kind of skin you are, then this book is not for you. Unless...of course...you're a Gay skinhead.

Weird Theory.......1999-06-12

Contrary to what the reviewer below has stated, I would say it is debatable whether or not gay Skins exist. I'm sure their are gay kids who shave their heads and listen to "Oi" music but...A gay person being a skinhead is kind of like those old "Musicians Against Drugs" spots on MTV...it just does not wash! According to Murray Healy's own research, it would appear that homosexuality runs absolutely contrary to the traditional Skinhead ethos. I read this book while staying with a friend and got the impression that these kids who were gay "skins" were mimicking what they saw in the straight Skinhead/punk scene and were really just playing dress-up. Again, the pro-American, pro-gun, pro-violence, anti-immigrant, anti-homosexuality, anti-Communism theme that runs through the traditional Skinhead camps would seem to make these gay "skins" completely at odds with the Skinhead "scene". I lived in San Franisco during the mid-1980's, and anyone who lived there than can tell you of the horrific problems S.F. had with Skinheads. They would gather, 60-70 at a time and get drunk in the city parks, bashing hippies, non-whites, especially gays, etc, anyone really who was not a Skinhead. The gay community was really seriously concerned about the violence because it was so brutal and becoming terribly common. I remember those Skinheads and I can say it would have been hard to imagine any of them were gay.

The book tackles an interesting subject matter, but I feel saying these gay skinheads were indeed that, skinheads, was a real long shot.

Gay skinheads exist...what's left to prove?.......1999-05-13

I'm not sure what the previous reviewer's expectations were before he/she read the book, but I found Gay Skins to be full of interesting and valid insight on this youth culture phenomenon. In relation to the larger (and decidedly older aged) "clone" population of roughly the same time period, gay skins were part of another unique, highly stylized gay subculture. The book details how manner of dress and custom defined this group's social, sexual and political behavior. A good read and highly informative, especially in the context of how today's gay youth survive.

Bizzare.......1999-04-14

Bizarre book on an even more bizarre subject matter. Murray Healy never quite convinced me that Homoerotic overtones were any more present in Skinhead subculture than they were anywhere else. His critique could have been applied to anything; locker room etiquette, professional sports, etc. I got the distinct impression that most "gay skins" found the Skinhead cult attractive for it's overpowering, over the top masculine image and were confused about their own issues of sexuality/masculinity as opposed to heterosexual skinheads who seemed more pre-occupied with obtaining a cultural identity and finding ideology and belonging in a group. His description of gay Skinheads left me wondering if it wasn't the gay skinheads THEMSELVES that became involved in the subculture to prove their own masculinity, and not vice-versa. Also, by it's very nature, the Skinhead cult would seem to violently condemn homosexuality. I found it hard to believe that it would be embraced by jack-booted thugs anywhere! Murray Healy's book presented a theory, but I feel it hardly came close to proving it.

Book Description

Small Screens, Big Ideas brings together specially commissioned writings from British and American contributors to explore themes of diversity in the formative period of the 1950s. With radical changes taking place in terrestrial television, this is a timely moment to revisit the decade when television's very novelty was its most striking feature. Discussing television's role in the construction of national and gender identities and its relation to other media such as theatre, film, and radio, this fresh exploration is based on detailed case-studies of this complex era.

Book Description

The intersection of ethics, law, business and computer software is the subject of these essays and speeches by MacArthur Foundation Grant winner, Richard M. Stallman. This collection includes historical writings such as The GNU Manifesto, which defined and launched the activist Free Software Movement, along with new writings on hot topics in copyright, patent law, and the controversial issue of "trusted computing." Stallman takes a critical look at common abuses of copyright law and patents when applied to computer software programs, and how these abuses damage our entire society and remove our existing freedoms. He also discusses the social aspects of software and how free software can create community and social justice.

Given the current turmoil in copyright and patent laws, including the DMCA and proposed CBDTPA, these essays are more relevant than ever. Stallman tackles head-on the essential issues driving the current changes in copyright law. He argues that for creativity to flourish, software must be free of inappropriate and overly-broad legal constraints. Over the past twenty years his arguments and actions have changed the course of software history; this new book is sure to impact the future of software and legal policies in the years to come.

Lawrence Lessig, the author of two well-known books on similar topics, writes the introduction. He is a noted legal expert on copyright law and a Stanford Law School professor.

Essential Reading for any Intelligent Adult Favoring Social Progress.......2006-07-22

I bought this book at Hackers on Planet Earth 6, and then after reading it in the morning, had the double benefit of hearing the author as keynote speaker in the afternoon. He is everything the book's contents suggest, and more. The author is one of the original MIT hackers (pick up a used copy of Shirley Turkle's "My Second Self, Computers and the Human Spirit" and/or Steven Levy's "Hacker's" which the author himself recommends.

The author's brilliant bottom line is quite clear throughout the book: software copyright prevents people from improving or sharing the foundation for progress in the digital era.

The author's social-technical innovation, which appears now to be acquiring tsunami force around the world, and is manifested in the Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) movement that is being nurtured by governments worldwide from Brazil to China to Israel to the United Kingdom to Norway, is to modify copyright to a term he credits to another, copyleft, meaning that copyright in the new definition grants ALL permissions EXCEPT the permission to RESTRICT the enhancement and sharing of the software.

The author is also very careful to define the term free as meaning freedom of movement and growth, not free of price. GNU, his invention, removes computational obstacles to competition, and levels the playing field for more important innovations. In his view, the core issue is not about price, but about eliminating restrictions to freedom of sharing and enhancement.

On page 37 he sums up his life's purpose: "Proprietary and secret software is the moral equivalent of runners having a fist fight (during the race)" -- they all lose.

The author carefully distinguishes between the free and open source software, citing the first as a movement with values, the second as a process.

His candidacy for a Nobel Prize is captured in the sentence on page 61, "Free software contributes to human knowledge, non-free software does not."

Across the book, a collection of essays put into a very well ordered (not necessarily chronological) form, this book is a history of GNU (not UNIX) by its creator and co-founder of the Free Software Foundation. It is replete with concise useful discussions of terms, conditions, and cultures relevant to the future of mankind as a thinking forward looking species.

Section two, on copyright, copyleft, and patents is very helpful, and likely to become a standard in the field as the public fires elected representatives who sell out to Mickey Mouse copyright extenders, and demands a return to the original Constitutional limitation of copyright as an artifact of government, not a natural right, focused on nurturing knowledge. It means mention that Lawrence Lessig (see my reviews of his books) writes the introduction--the two authors together, along with Cass Sunstein, may be the most important trio of thinkers with respect to the future of man in the context of science, copyright, risk, and software as a human global contributor to sanity.

The author's keynote address at HOPE 6 is discussed toward the end of the book, where he lists the Four Freedoms:

Freedom 0: Run a program as you wish, for any purpose you wish, not limited to any narrowly defined application.

Freedom 1: Help yourself by improving the program (which requires access to source code).

Freedom 2: Help your neighbor by sharing a copy of the program with them.

Freedom 3: Help community by sharing the improved copy at large.

There is no question in my mind but that this manifesto of a single man's life's work is as important as Tom Paine's Common Sense treatises. There is a war now emergent between the classes (US elites bribing foreign elites, both screwing their publics over for private gain), and between corporations and the people, corporations long having abused the independent legal personality that was granted to promote business, and ended up being a legal barrier to holding corporate managers accountable for grand theft and social irresponsibility.

Toward the end the author offers thoughtful suggestions on how to "drop out" of the proprietary software world, and his thinking resonates with "No Logo" and its recommendations on selective purchasing.

This book is not a technical book although it offers up many understandable insights to technical matters underlying the social philosophy of the author. It is not a legal book either, but offers important informed commentary vital to getting the law focused again on human progress. Finally, in no way does the book dismiss the importance of capitalism--the author clearly states that it is entirely appropriate to charge a fee for one's contributions--this is about the "how" not the "how much.

Absolutely superb collection of essays, extremely important to where we go in the future. The author is not only an original hacker, he represents hacking as it should be understood by the authorities (see my review of Bruce Sterling, Hackers at the Edge of the Electronic Frontier), and as I see them--as people who have the "right stuff" and are testing the edge, pushing the frontier. In a world of drones, these are the libertarian spirits that may well keep us out of perpetual prison.

For reference: DARPA's STRONG ANGEL program, empowered now by DoD Directive 3000.cc. specifically seeks to create a suite of collaborative sharing and analytic tools that can be provided free to any non-governmental organization and any state and local government. Support costs have to be shared. It is now understood at the highest levels of the US military that we cannot make peace without sharing all information in all languages all the time (my third book), and this is progress.

Nice Explanations.......2002-11-06

The editor wrote a short forward explaining all the computer concepts the reader will need in order to understand the book. In addition, there are footnotes throughout the book explaining obscure people and computer terms. This way even a sociology major like myself can understand everything.

Stallman talks about important issues that are currently being played out in Washington DC. This book is a great way to help make sense of it all.
