Book Description

Agatha: When I was a little girl my mother told me that if I made funny faces I would stay that way. Hagatha: Well, you can't say you weren't warned! Zap them right where they stand! Some people deserve a little zinger that leaves them speechless. Or maybe you just want a really good, funny way to describe a person who, shall we say, has some annoying faults. With 800 witty one-liners and 400 put-down jokes, you'll certainly have plenty of material to choose from. Dozens of categories cover birthdays, funny features and forgetfulness, laziness and losers, meanies and nicknames, showoffs and snobs. Want some samples? If he said all he thought, he'd be speechless. They said the baby looked like you and then they turned him right side up. Police Officer: Why didn't you stop when I blew my whistle? Driver: I'm a little deaf. Police Officer: Don't worry. Here's a summons. You'll get your hearing in the morning. Diner: I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. Waiter: Well, you've come to the right pl ace. "A fellow told me I looked like you." "What happened to him?" "I punched him!" Plus--dozens of caricatures, silly pictures, and comic drawings add to the fun. You'll never get caught without a retort again! 352 pages, 80 b/w illus., 4 3/16 x 5 1/4.

This book wasn't that funny. If you want the really funny stuff, look somewhere else. This book has a couple of good one-liners, but not early enough.

E is for enlightenment.......2003-10-09

an intriguing account of the drug that shaped the eighties and spawned many to turn their backs on shallow materialism and work toward a more enlightened and "cognitively aware" life.

Explores the known or rumored dangers and offers an intelligent approach to diving within your own nervous system as an informed neuronaut bent not just on hedonism, but on coming through the other side with enlightenment.

Read along with the works of Shulgin for a more sensible version of drugs than the one your government feeds you!

All about Ecstasy.......2001-04-17

Through interviews, anecdotes, extracts and analysis, this book looks at the cultural impact of the drug Ecstasy from its early days in the gay club scene through today. Excerpts from newspaper articles, interviews with those involved in the early club scene are great. The 15-page bibliography is unbelievable, as is the list of 50 or so Web sites.

The authors have done an admirable job at not taking sides on the ecstasy debate. They give treatment to medical information, police and government reports, newspaper accounts as well as the comments of users. This approach makes the book more important and long-lasting than a "isn't this cool" book that links music and E in the club scene only.

Cover is worth the price alone.......2004-11-11

This is a charming historical snapshot of the late Nicholas Saunders' extended volume of research into MDMA. Highlights include a poignant tale of rekindled love, and an eye opening essay on Euoropean Football (Soccer) hooligans gone mellow on X.

Admittedly, this is not the #1 best book on MDMA available on the market. It is dated, and "Ecstasy, the MDMA Story," by Bruce Eisner is my preferred handbook to MDMA from that era. Still, Saunders' book is fairly well researched, gives a more Eurocentric angle, contrasted with Eisner's USA focus, and promises to be the flashiest, most spectacular looking book on your shelf. The front and back covers, as well as the entire spine are created out of a magnificent color changing glittery, shimmery paper. It is a very shiny paper, so hold the book up to your face, and you will see a striking self image, floating amongst the rainbows.

At Least 1836 Things You Ought to Know about Texas But Probably Don't.......2005-08-15

Lots of trivia and interesting stories. Lots of facts and figures too.

Texas never ceases to fascinate me and this book just adds to that charm! My whole family has enjoyed it, from the 17 year old all the way up to old fuddy-duddy granddad.

It's like having history alive because of the way it is written, as if talking to a friend!

Book Description

Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides you, as an experienced programmer, with all the information needed to get the most out of the latest and greatest development tool from Microsoft®. It doesn't matter if you're an MFC, C++, STL, ATL, COM, Win32, Visual Basic, C#, HTML, XML, ASP.NET, database, web application, Web service, NT service, stand-alone client, or component programmer targeting Windows® or one of the Windows variants (i.e. Windows CE or the PocketPC) -- this is the book that will help you master the toolkit. Written by experienced developers and trainers John Flanders, Ian Griffiths, and Chris Sells, Mastering Visual Studio .NET begins with fundamental information about maximizing the power of Visual Studio .NET as it comes out of the box, including the following topics:

projects and solutions
files and the various file editors
debugging
web projects
database projects
setup projects

To experience the full spectrum of functionality and extensibility, Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides you with the practical depth and detail needed to best put these features to work. The second section of the book is about extending VS.NET to suit your specific needs:

integrating controls and components with VS.NET
the VS.NET automation object model
macros and add-ins
custom wizards
the Visual Studio Integration Program (VSIP)

If you're serious about using the VS.NET toolkit, you'll want a book of this magnitude close by. Mastering Visual Studio .NET will take you beyond what you'll read in the standard documentation by offering hints and recommendations that the authors and the community at large have found to be useful after many years of experience.

Customer Reviews:

Has Good Overview. Could be better.......2003-07-16

It covers many topics around Visual Studio.net. Its coverage of Debugging(Chap 3), Macros(Chap 8) are good.

One missing piece is Web Services with Visual Studio.net. I didn't find any related information in it. Also, serveral times, when I needed some information about Visual Studio.net, I couldn't find it in this book. Though I've been using VS.net for several months, I never needed most of the information in this book.

Lots of good material.......2003-07-06

I have to admit that when I picked up a copy of this book, I was expecting a rather out of date re-hash of much of Microsoft's Visual Studio documentation. I was pleasantly surprised. Even though Visual Studio .NET 2003 only recently became commercially available, this book is written for the new IDE (rather than last year's model). The book goes through the basics of projects, debugging, and even macros (in addition to a wide range of other topics).

This book follows the basic flow a programmer would follow when setting up and creating a project in Visual Studio, which makes it easy to follow along (especially if you are new to VS.NET). After a discussion on setting up a project (including the differences between the various project types), the reader is presented with a discussion on debugging tips and techniques (including debugging configuration in the project's properties). Since web projects are a little different from creating a Windows application, there is a whole chapter dedicated to configuration and debugging of a web application. Other chapters include a discussion on how to perform database work through the IDE, and instructions on developing installation projects.

My absolute favorite chapter, however, was on Automation, Macros, and Add-ins. In this chapter, the reader learns the basics of creating macros that integrate directly into VS.NET. If you are familiar with recording macros in the Microsoft Office applications, you will be pleased to learn that the syntax and functionality is similar (although instead of writing macros in VBA, they are written in VB.NET). There is then further discussion on automating the IDE to perform scheduled tasks (like automated builds).

Nice overview of Visual Studio.......2003-04-15

The book deals with mostly an overview of VS .Net features. They give a general guideline on how to write VS solutions / projects - components - scripts, amd how to debug programs. I bought the book mostly since it's the only one I found that discusses VSIP. I did not find a lot of information on VSIP 7 pages long chapter which barly discusses an overview. The book authors tried their samples on both VS 2002 and VS 2003. I would not recommend this book to people who are brand new VS users or experts on VS. I would recommend it for some users how are looking for some extra shortcuts / functionality here and there. I'm giving this book 3 stars since I would have expected a bit more in debth analysis and more samples.

Book Description

Have you ever wondered: What do the Imams and Scholars of mainstream Islam say about the permissibility of commemorating the Prophet's birghdy (mawlid)? What about the view of a handful of modern Salafi scholars like Albani, Bin Baz, al-Jazairi, Mashhur Salman, Uthaymin and their followers who forbid it on the grounds that it is an innovation? Read the evidence and then decide for yourself.

I found this book to be very helpful for researching the tangled web of the Merovingians, however, it has one infuriating problem and that is the author assumes the reader knows Latin. There are many key passages given from documents and medieval histories in Latin with no translation afterwards! I hope this book will be reissued with the Latin sections translated.

Book Description

Most of what has been learned about how the brain mediates behavior comes from experiments of nature where a stroke or other damage to the brain produces changes in a person's behavior. In Matter of Mind, one of the leading figures in behavioral and cognitive neurology uses patient vignettes and other examples from his rich professional life to show just how much knowledge about brain functions such as reading, writing, language, control of emotions, skilled movement, perception, attention, and motivation has been gained from the study of patients with diseases of or damage to the brain. No knowledge of neurology or neuroscience is required to understand the book, which is intended for neurological patients and their families. It will also be of interest to professionals who study the brain or treat patients with brain damage including neuropsychologists, neurologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, physiatrists, speech pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and their students and trainees.
