WORST book to use for CPA Review.......2002-05-30

This book is too detailed and go off on stuff that's not relevant on passing the cpa exam. This book is for people who want to know all of accounting and not just focusing on passing the exam. It has all these unnecessary stuff that are you don't need to know for the exam. Unlike other review materials that has about 9 chapters, this book has 20 chapters. If other materials can help you pass on just 9 chapters, why does this book has 20? Who has time to remember 20 chapters on each section. In addition the book is poorly written, the materials are hard to understand and topics are all over the place. I also regret getting the audio tutor tapes, they are a bore and useless. This whole package is a total waste of money, you're better off saving some money and getting the wiley book and studying on your own or pay some money and get a real review course like becker. Like they say, you get what you pay for. Stay away from Bisk.

Helped me pass.......2001-08-07

This is a well written book with concrete examples and real, accurate questions. It helped me to pass the exam the first time I took it.

Wow I passed on my First Test.......2001-01-31

What a fantastic way to get ready for the CPA Exam. I was so overwhelmed but if you study this book it will get you ready. I passed my first time....just like they said I would!

Highly recommended!.......1998-06-01

Studying for the CPA exam can seem like an overwhelming, uphill battle. It is an undoubtedly challenging undertaking. However, this review book is excellent and will definately prepare you for the exam. The thorough chapters are well written and contain helpful exhibits and mnemonic devices. Of course, about 1,000 questions are included for practice. If you're taking all four sections of the exam keep in mind that Bisk recommends 20 weeks of study, so plan accordingly. Nathan Bisk's books are the best CPA review books I've seen.

The Bisk Man Does it Again -- Booyah!.......2004-03-13

In this delicious narrative of financial accounting and egg salad recipes, Nathan Bisk delves into the secret Lambda society in 1960's Nebraska. In a tale both haunting and hilarious, financial reporting is battered about betwixt our 2 heroes: Ivan Fox and Bob Monette. Bisk, forbidden from engaging in non-academic sleep since the age of 14, is simply astounding. Some call him "prickly" or even "scrumchilescent", but I have only this to say, "I love this book." If I had to arm wrstle Burt Reynolds for it, I would. And I would win!

I loved Miss Troi's lecture at our school, we were all so excited about our future as cosmetologist. I will keep the Guide with me when I go to work as a motivational tool.

Beauty College.......2005-11-19

Miss Troi came to our Beauty College and did a 1 hour seminar for our students. Our staff and students were so impressed with the way this Author presented her book and the information the "Guide" provided, that we now will provide a copy of the "Guide" to every student at graduation.

individulas or TEAMS.......2005-11-08

This Guide is simply written yet exceptionally effective. As a Director of a medical spa I found this guide to be very useful and effective, for both the cosmetic surgery dept and the spa staff. We have purchased a guide for every staff member and will also include the guide in our new employee package. A great tool for educationing great customer service.

What a way to remember a TAINTED title.......2006-03-16

Wow, what do you know? someone actually wrote about an undeserved title.

Big Ben and the Steelers: simply amazing.......2006-02-14

Big Ben: 27-4 as a starter (2004-2005 seasons)---only losses (3 of which were injury-related): Patriots, 2004 AFC Championship game (if Plax holds on to sure TD pass, we are only down 7 with about 7+ minutes to go in that game; Ben did some good things and was battling thumb and toe injuries) and also in 2005 (if Randle El doesn't get `cute' and lateral that pass to Ward, we probably win; again, Ben did some good things), as well as the Bengals in 2005 (Ben has beaten Carson Palmer's Bengals 3 times: twice in 2004 and big-time in the AFC Wild-Card game in 2005; Ben had 3 TD passes in this lone defeat and was battling a thumb injury) and Indy in 2005 (as we know, he got revenge in the AFC Divisional Playoff game; Ben threw a TD pass to Ward in this Monday night defeat and was coming off an injury-induced layoff).

Ben's FIRST NFL game: 2004 Pre-season at Ford Field vs. the Lions...last game of 2005 season: 2/5/06 at FORD FIELD, SUPER BOWL XL VICTORY!!!

So Ben didn't play a superb game in Super Bowl XL and there was some controversy...

--Super Bowl IX, 1/12/75: Steelers win 16-6 over the Vikings---Future Hall-of-Famer Terry Bradshaw is only 9 for 14 for 96 yards...BEN WAS 9 FOR 21 FOR 123 YARDS...Bradshaw threw a lone TD...BEN RAN FOR A LONE TD... Future Hall-of-Famer Fran Tarkenton's numbers were putrid: 11 for 26 for 102 yards, 3 interceptions, NO TD's! We were only winning 2-0 going into the third quarter (on a safety); a boring game. The Steelers wore their white shirts and Terry had a beard (the other 3 Super Bowls: black-and-gold shirts, Terry clean shaven)...WE WORE OUR WHITE SHIRTS IN XL AND BEN HAD A BEARD...the game turned on a VERY controversial "fumble-that-wasn't" by the Steelers Larry Brown: the Steelers left the field dejected, the Vikings were in prime territory...then the officials ruled Brown was down before the ball came loose (no way!!!!!)...and the rest is history;

--Super Bowl X, 1/18/76: Steelers win 21-17 over the Cowboys---Future Hall-of-Famer Roger Staubach almost pulled out another miracle comeback...Swann's great falling-to-the-ground acrobatic catch led to no points (!);

--Super Bowl XIII, 1/21/79: Steelers win 35-31 over the Cowboys---the Cowboys' Jackie Smith drops a SURE TD pass that would have tied the game AND our go-ahead TD was aided by a very controversial tripping penalty that cost Dallas 33 yards: Lynn Swann fell over Benny Barnes's ankles and, as Bradshaw has admitted, it shouldn't have been a flag...we were ahead 35-17 at one point...Staubach almost brought them back (35-31);

--GAME BEFORE SUPERBOWL XIV: AFC Championship game vs. the Oilers, 1/6/80: Steelers win 27-13---late in the third quarter, officials ruled that Oilers receiver Mike Renfro did not have possession of what appeared to be a game-tying TD (WRONG!!!! He was in bounds; bad, bad call)...and the rest is history...

---Super Bowl XIV, 1/20/80: Steelers win 31-19 over the Rams---Bradshaw threw 3 INTERCEPTIONS and we were losing for most of the game...until Lambert saved our butts by intercepting QB Vince Ferragamo's pass...and the rest is history
(Steelers in the 1970's: regular season---99-44-1; playoffs: 14-4)

NON-STEELER SUPER BOWL "LUCK"---
Super Bowl XXV, 1/27/91: Giants defeat Bills BECAUSE SCOTT NORWOOD BARELY MISSES A RELATIVELY EASY FIELD GOAL, one of the biggest blown plays ever!;
All 3 of the Patriots victories were by exactly 3 points...and the Eagles really blew it with poor clock management (sound familiar?)!;
Super Bowl XXXIV, 1/30/00: Rams defeat Titans, 23-16--- The Rams' Mike Jones tackled Kevin Dyson at the 1-yard line as time expired. Dyson would have tied the game; Super Bowl V, 1/17/71: Colts beat Cowboys, 16-13, via a field goal... Dallas' Chuck Howley, who picked off two passes, became the first defensive player and the first player from a losing team to be named MVP.

The Steelers have been in the Super Bowl in the 1970's. 1980's, 1990's, and in the new millennium (2000's)---
IX (1975), X (1976), XIII (1979), XIV (played in 1980), XXX (played in 1996), XL (2006)

Big Ben---ONLY QB to ever go to Championship game his first two years; youngest to win the Super Bowl (Steelers: first 6th seed to go/ win; only team to beat #1, #2, and #3 seeds on the road and win; three-way tie for most Super Bowl victories: 5, along with Dallas and San Francisco; tied for second with most Super Bowl appearances: 6, along with Denver [who have `only' won 2])...comparison to other Hall-of-Fame and/or outstanding QBs---
Jim Kelly: 0 for 4; never won a Super Bowl;
Fran Tarkenton: 0 for 4; never won a Super Bowl;
Dan Marino: 0 for 1; never won a Super Bowl;
Kenny Anderson: 0 for 1; never won a Super Bowl
Len Dawson: won one Super Bowl (and lost one, as well);
Johnny Unitas: won one Super Bowl (and lost one, as well);
Joe Theismann: won one Super Bowl (and lost one, as well);
Brett Favre: won one Super Bowl (and lost one, as well);
Kurt Warner: won one Super Bowl (and lost one, as well);
Ken Stabler: won one Super Bowl
Joe Namath: won one Super Bowl;
Phil Simms: won one Super Bowl;
Steve Young: won one Super Bowl;
Also: John Elway: after FIFTEEN YEARS IN THE LEAGUE, won two...after losing 3 very badly!

BEST run in sports history (as confirmed by a Congressional resolution!): won 8 in a row---
Bears (who had an 8-game winning streak), Vikings on the road (who had a 6 game winning streak...and Cowher NEVER won in a dome stadium before!), Browns on the road, and Detroit on 1/1/06 (where, unbeknownst to us at the time, we were headed for 2/5/06!); Bengals on the road (#3 seed, previously beat us), Colts on the road (#1 seed, league's best record, heavily favored, dome stadium, previously beat us; the Fumble, the Tackle, and the Miss), Broncos on the road (#2 seed, favored, 10-0 at home)...and the #1 NFC seeded Seahawks "on the road" in another dome, Detroit's Ford Field (where Big Ben started his NFL career vs. the Lions in the 2004 pre-season!!!)

YOU HAVE TO GET THE TWO-DVD SET "STEELERS: THE COMPLETE HISTORY" (2005; NFL Films), 1933-2004 (too bad they didn't wait a year haha!)---the main feature is 2 hours and 20 minutes long and covers 1933 up to and including Beg Ben's 2004 season; incredible. All the `lean years' (1930's-1960's; 1980's) are covered, NOT just the "glory seasons"---Kordell, Brister, Malone, Stoudt, Hanratty, etc. etc. etc. The bonus feautures are awesome, ESPECIALLY the 45-minute Jerome Bettis special-VERY IRONIC!! You will see Tommy Maddox with the Bus when they were both Rams in 1995...excellent miked-on-the-field comments, often funny, by Bus, Ward, and Cowher...Jan. 2005 AFC lowlights, Hines Ward crying, Jerome's reaction, and the tantalizing hint that Super Bowl XL wil be played in Jerome's hometown of Detroit...which makes what they did in 2005/2006 VERY story book! Also: the Bill Cowher, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier, Myron Cope, Dick Hoak, and Bill Saul segments/ specials are very entertaining, as is the Super Bowl XIII feature..get this...as well as the SUPER BOWL XL DVD---2005 season highlights included, as well as the 2006 playoffs!

At one time or another, almost everyone has entertained the fantasy of living abroad. In one's dreams, language is no problem, the natives are always friendly, and every day is another adventure in paradise. The reality, however, is quite different--especially for the dependants of people whose careers take them overseas. Suddenly, the tag-along spouse finds him or herself in a strange land, without friends or family, and often without a job. There's a household to be set up and run, social events to be navigated, and often children to be raised--all in a foreign culture whose rules the spouse may be struggling to understand. For those transplanted better halves, help is on the way in Robin Pascoe's Culture Shock! A Wife's Guide. Though Pascoe has obviously written her book with traveling wives in mind, the sound advice she gives is applicable to partners of either sex. From dealing with pre-departure jitters to hiring household help, from making the cultural transition to fighting off boredom, Pascoe's suggestions are equal opportunity. So if your life's partner is about to head overseas for a long-term assignment, get Culture Shock! A Wife's Guide to help ease you over the rough spots of getting adjusted.

Book Description

With bags packed, crates shipped out, children briefed, parents consoled, you are ready for life in a foreign country. All is fine until initial excitement gives way to fear and doubt. "Will I be accepted" "Will the children fit in?" "Will I be able to get a job?" "Will the people understand they way I speak?" "Will they have my favorite brand of denture cleaner?" Your worries, guilt, resentment and secret aspirations surface and you cannot cope. Take heart, you are not alone. Comforting and funny, encouraging and practical, this collection of honest soul-baring and helpful advice tells you how to cope with the gamut of emotions and situations experienced by most "accompanying" wives or spouses.

Finally someone understands............2000-06-29

For those of us who are veterans of countless overseas moves, and perhaps particularly for first-time expats, what a relief it is to find this book, which so movingly and wittily defines the expatriate process. Yes, there are countless benefits to an international life, but there is also the pain and heartache of upheaval, rootlessness, missed loved ones and a career set indefinitely on hold. Robin Pascoe holds a mirror up to the expat soul, and shows it for what it is: delighted, resentful, joyful and miserable, and often all on the same day. The glue that holds every overseas assignment together is the accompanying spouse, and Ms. Pascoe's book is the best how-to guide a girl ever had. Don't leave home without it.....

A good starting place in preparing for a move abroad.......2000-05-24

We are planning a move to the UK within the next year, and I bought this to prepare myself for what it might be like. The book is helpful in the broadest sense, in that it gives one an idea of what one woman's emotional experiences have been like. However I found it lacking in the practical detail that I craved - how to estimate standard of living differences, how to navigate school systems and make schooling choices, even how to decide what household objects to take with us and what to leave behind.

Book Description

You and your spouse have just been screened for that important posting overseas. Now it's all systems go. But HOLD IT! Who screened the children? Raising happy, well-adjusted children is always a challenge for parents, regardless of where they live. But overseas, parenting issues are magnified because traditional life supports are absent. Parents, trust your instincts. But first, read this book, because it offers sound advice on some critical issues, such as: Do your children have a learning disability that won't be catered to by an international school? Are you setting them up for loss of self-esteem or an unsuccessful adjustment? Are you helping them to appreciate and discriminate among the new experiences, and relate them to what they know about their own culture? Robin Pascoe, author of Culture Shock-A Parent's Guide, knows what it's like to be a traveling wife and mother. Her children have been on the move since they were born, and her family has lived in a community of traveling families. The advice in this book is the result of her cumulative experience, as well as consultation with child psychologists.

Customer Reviews:

Don't leave home without it.......2001-01-03

What a fantastic book. I wish I had found this book before my husband's first assignment.

If you know in advance the changes that your relationship and your kids are likely to through before you go abroad, you will be able to put things in perspective as they happen, and plan to navigate the bumps ahead. I've lived ten years abroad and I found Robin's observations bang-on.

Her writing style is delightful and entertaining, and she will lift a great deal of stress from your shoulders. I'm now living happily in Egypt and this book is constantly on loan to friends here.

Her book on "A wife's perspective" is also good, but if you have kids you'll find most of the relationship material well encapsulated here, so you don't need both. Oh - and don't forget to check out her website.

Good overview.......2000-06-10

We are getting ready to move and taking a 1-year-old. I found the nuggets of info in A Parent's Guide really helpful. It's sort of general (like explaining what a third culture kid is), but a really good start on research for parents raising children overseas.
