Thanks and God bless and you all are in my prayers,

I also highly recommend - How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You by Mandy Simons

4 out of 5 stars It's the truth!.......2007-03-15

The good part about this book is that the author really encourages woman to treat themselves better. It is true that once you are comfortable and happy with yourself, it will show through for others to see, thus resulting in more positive attention from the male gender. I can honestly say Thank You to Lisa because it made me realize that I don't have to settle for less in a man than I want.

1 out of 5 stars Start getting dumped.......2007-03-11

This book is not what it says it is, and is a waste of time for any intelligent girl, or any one at all really. It basically tells you how to be dishonest and shallow and that is how to get what you want. Not much different from most any other book in this genre, so I would stick with a Vogue style relationship quiz and probably get more out of it than you would out of this book. Or honestly just be yourself and you'll have more luck than any advice you could get here.

3 out of 5 stars Some good advice but too brief for me.......2007-01-15

The book is fine, but I expected more. If you haven't read anything on this subject, it is a good place to start, but if you have read other stuff, it may be a bit repetitive. The "rotation" was a new idea though.
If you do buy it, I suggest to also get something else. You can finish it in a couple of hours, and if you have to wait for several weeks like I had to, it would be frustrating.

    The Internet keeps promising a plethora of travel services, but many eager Web surfers have more search-engine headaches than bookings. After hours spent trying to book those tickets to Tahiti, they throw their hands up in disgust, kick their computers, pick up the phone, and spend some more hours in airline-hold hell. This no longer need be the scenario.

    Durant Imboden's guide, Buying Travel Services on the Internet, directs you to Web sites that let you shop for airline and cruise bargains, rent a car; apply for passports and visas; book a berth on a freighter; reserve a night at a five-star hotel or an eco-campground; wise up on health, safety, and weather; and pay a virtual visit to anywhere in the world from the comfort of your home. There are sites that specialize in last-minute deals and bargain flights; sites run by travel guides that provide much of their guidebook information for free; sites for maps; (worldwide and U.S.) and sites that lead you by the hand through the really tough questions: how much to pack, what kind of travel insurance to buy, and how much to tip in Guatemala or Prague. Durant Imboden, a travel writer and Microsoft employee, is both travel- and Internet-savvy. His book makes an ideal guide for the Internet maze. --Stephanie Gold

    2 out of 5 stars Information contained in the book is pre-1999, very dated........2001-09-20

    The cover reads ýThe Only Travel Guide Youýll Ever Needý. Presumptuous, to say the least; especially in a world where websites appear and disappear weekly. Though the copyright is 1999 the information contained in the book is pre-1999, thus very dated.

    I used this book to plan a trip to Nova Scotia. More people, when shopping, use the Internet for travel than any other category and this would tell if the book was worth the purchase price. It is not.

    The listing under accommodations for both hotels and Bed & Breakfast were sparse. B&B had three listings and one page would not come up, another had been absorbed by another web site and the one that was still relevant was cumbersome to use. Hotel & Resorts had five listings four of which connected, one was co-oped. I linked my way to a site that I used to reserve accommodations.

    Save your money. You can find most of what you want using a good ýbotý. A bot is a software tool for digging through data. You give a bot directions and it bring back answers... Conditionally Recommended. 2 Stars

    Durant Imboden, Internet Savant and host of the Writing Community for MSN, takes you everywhere you want to go.

    The only thing wrong with the book is there should be an accompanying, searchable CD-ROM so the hyper-text destinations would be instantly accessible with a web browser and a click. It would seem a publisher that would want to publish this book would understand how valuable the content would become in digital form. The negligble cost of a CD-ROM would not impact unfavorably on profits because this book is a bargain at its current price.

    This guide is essential information, obviously available to anyone on the web, at the expense of countless hours of research and editing. Imboden brings an editor's skilled eye to this book which contains a world of links and the Net insider's way to save money and travel to the most interesting travel destinations on the Web.

I have been purchasing my airline tickets on the Internet for quite a while, but this book just gave me clear access to a whole world of great travel sites and destination information. This book is a must have.

                  Book Description

                  By the time Pearl Harbor had ripped apart America's peacetime pretensions, the German blitzkrieg had already blasted the Red Army back to the gates of Moscow. Yet, less than four years later, the Soviet hammer-and-sickle flew above the ruins of Berlin, stark symbol of a miraculous comeback that destroyed the German army and shattered Hitler's imperial designs.

                  Told in swift stirring prose, When Titans Clashed provides the first full account of this epic struggle from the Soviet perspective. David Glantz, one of the world's foremost authorities on the Soviet military, and Jonathan House present a fundamentally new interpretation of what the Russians called the "Great Patriotic War." Based on unprecedented access to formerly classified Soviet sources, they counter the German perspective that has dominated previous accounts and radically revise our understanding of the Soviet experience during World War II.

                  Placing the war within its wider political, economic, and social contexts, the authors recount how the determined Soviets overcame their initial disasters to defeat the most powerful army ever assembled. As they vividly show, this truly was war waged on a titanic scale, sweeping across a half-million square miles from Moscow to Berlin, featuring monumental offensives and counteroffensives, and ultimately costing both sides combined a staggering forty million casualties.

                  Their work offers new revelations on Soviet strategy and tactics, Stalin's role as supreme commander of the Red Army, the emergence of innovative and courageous commanders in the crucible of combat, numerous previously concealed or neglected military operations, German miscalculations on the road to the Red capital, the effect of D-Day and the "second front" on the Soviet effort, and the war's devastating impact on the Soviet economy and civilian population.

                  An essential volume for anyone interested in World War II or Soviet history, When Titans Clashed will change forever how we look at one of the greatest military confrontations in world history.

                  This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.

                  5 out of 5 stars Great strategic overview.......2007-08-21

                  This is an excellent book of the Soviet struggle against the German invasion in WW2. The book has oustanding references and well researched. The maps and tables provide excellent information to reinforce their description over the 3 stages of war fought in the Soviet Union.

                  What stands out the most is the Stalin's initial paranoia and purge of the Soviet military in the late 1930's that led to their disasters in 1941 that was later changed to Stalin's ceding of power and trust to a select few Field Marshalls. In comparison, Hitler's delegation of authority led to initial German success, but later growing paranoia and micromanagement led to multiple disasters and complete defeat as he fired his best Field Marshalls when they refused to follow his commands that would result in the senseless deaths of thousands of German soldiers.

                  The book describes on how the Soviets decided to form Guards and Shock Armies to mass their best fighting soldiers, artillery, and majority of their tanks to maximize offensive combat power as the war progressed. Meanwhile, ineptly managed by Hitler, the front line and experienced German Panzer units could not receive replacement tanks to maintain their combat strength. Instead, raw green units were formed and sent piecemeal to block massed and experienced Soviet formations. History definitely shows which method of leadership and delegation of authority by a country's ruler can lead to victory.

                  The Soviet Union endured five bloody years of war and millions of casualties so that the United States could mobilize and train our soldiers to fight and win against the Germans. Towards the end of WW2, the United States was running out of front line infantry replacements and many units were becoming war weary (read a Band of Brothers regarding the 101st Airborne Division) after two years of combat. How both the German and Soviet armies were able to endure such massive losses and still have the ability to mobilize and sustain combat formations until the brink of annihilation is testament to the bravery of those who served and sacrificed for their nation regardless of who their political leaders were.

                  The Soviets adapted and refined their tactics and strategy that utilized their strengths to overwhelm the Germans at the point of attack. The Germans declined in strength and only had limited, but very high quality, formations and equipment that could have won if under the proper command and leadership.

                  Would be very interesting if the authors decided to write a hypothetical book comparing if Patton fought against the Soviets in 1946. Good book to include in a collection.

                  5 out of 5 stars Great Overview.......2006-05-02

                  This book is an excellent overview of the war on the eastern front. The volume focuses equally on German and Russian strategy and tactics. The tone of the research is rather impartial and each event is described in the pursuit of coherent theory of events. The author is equally direct when discussing the successes and failures of each campaign and its commanders, be they Russian or German. I found that the book was especially illuminating in regards to the evolution of the tactics of the Red Army as the information on this subject is typically plagued by numerous preconceived notions and distorted cliches.

                  The book flows incredibly smoothly because the author does not delve into the minute details of each battle. For example, this book will not tell you where each regiment of the Sixth Army at Stalingrad was on November 19, 1942 - the narrative will describe the overall development of the campaign instead. Each chapter is supplemented with one or two maps, which cover Army and Corps movements over the course of several months - again, information can be derived in terms of overall campaign trends rather than individual unit movements.

                  I highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to gain a fresh perspective on the realities of the eastern front in the years of 1941-1945.

                  3 out of 5 stars Russia's War by Overy can be a better option.......2006-03-06

                  It is a quite fairly good book. But much more focused on the military details, which can give you overwhelming names of units in some parts of the narrative, but lacking the maps for better understanding of the manouvers. If you are looking for a broader perspective and more general details, e. g., what happened in Leningrad and Stalingrad during the sieges or some links with what was happening in Germany's west front, I'd recommend Russia's War by Richard Overy instead.

                  3 out of 5 stars pretty good..........2006-02-07

                  nothing new here, despite the claims (erskine caldwell in "all-out on the road to smolensk" published 1942 talked to soviet officers who claimed the plan always was for a leningrad-moscow-rostov defense line. they 'invited' in the germans to overextend them, then planned to counterattack heavily (lend-lease, plus loads of great t-34 tanks, and a massive population advantage= sure victory). the speed of the breakthrough of barbarossa did surprise the soviets though; they certainly weren't planning on giving away 650,000 soldiers at kiev. reading caldwell's book (he went to moscow in 1941 because he was certain the germans were going to attack that year) is enlightening and clearly shows how impossible it truly was for the germans to defeat the soviets in ww2. maybe a bleed-them-white less-than-unconditional surrender could have occurred if everything had gone germany's way, but even this was highly unlikely and more of just post-mortem wishful thinking by the german generals. certainly the opening of the third front with d-day sealed the deal for the allies; no matter, the soviets were going to do the business anyway, witness operation bagration.) but overall a fairly good book.

                  3 out of 5 stars Concise and precise but aimed at military specialist.......2005-11-01

                  When Titans Clashed is an excellent attempt to use Glasnos era Soviet opening of documents about the Second World War to present a more precised and accurate history of the War between the Soviet Union and Germany and its allies. The focus here is entirely on military organization, command structure, military doctraine, etc. There is also an effort to overcome weaknesses created by the overavailability of German sources with what new Russian sources reveal.

                  For me, as someone interested in the Soviet German war for its political and social, rather than military, aspects, Glantz's points about the difficulties that the Soviet Union faces in having adequate forces to replace fallen soldiers, was most interesting. While recent authors have educated me that the old cold-war prejudice that the USSR defeated Hitler because of "inexhaustable" supplies of humans, Glantz's explanation of the shortage of trained soldiers after the Soviet Army had absorbed more than 20 million casualties and the Soviet Union millions more, is very interesting. He shows that by the end of the war, the Soviet commanders, despite their general reputation as being willing to sacrifice their troops for victories in ways that shocked even the Nazi commanders, had to devise tactics that emphasized firepower, mobility, and concentration of forces to deal with a growing shortage of trained forces.

                  Overall Glantz provides a very extensive explanation of Soviet staff discussions, plans and preparations for operations during the war, and a resultant analysis of how execution of the operations differed from plans. He also links it to the origins of the Red Army and its prewar doctrines and gives some hints on how the war effective postwar Soviet Military doctrine. He also details shifts in Soviet commanders and overall military organization.

                  This book is best for a military specialist and assumes that the reader is knowledgeable of the general history of the Soviet-German war and the Second World War. There is only minimal attention to the social, political, economic, and personal aspects of the war. One never gets a picture of what any of the war was like for the average Soviet or German soldier, for civilians, or anything of that nature, but that is not Glantz's purpose.

                  His aim is the military specialist and his aim is to document how conduct of the war reflected the evolution of Soviet military doctrine and organization. In this regard, his chapter on the Soviet campaign against Japan in 1945 and how it represented execution of lessons the Soviet military derived from the European war that the Soviet military continue in the post war era was quite interesting.

                  Again, if you are a common reader looking for a book to give you a picture of the Soviet-German war as a whole, this book would probably confuse you with its endless recounting of names of Soviet units, German units, commanders, etc. However, if you are interested in military organization and development, and how this evolved in this war, this is the book for you.

                  No doubt with some of the updated information on engagements, command and control, and organization, this book can become an useful English-language reference for military operations and organization in the clash of Titans.

                    Book Description

                    Stories from the Barrio offers a new look at the history of Fort Worth. In his search to discover the roots of the Hispanic community, Carlos E. Cuéllar was surprised to discover the lack of historical documentation of the history of the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the city. Convinced that the story of these forgotten people deserved to be told--from the stories of early Mexicanos escaping hardship and terrors of the Mexican Revolution, to the attempts of second generation Mexican Americans to assimilate, to the political voice and freedoms secured by the Chicano generation--Cuéllar began to delve into public records such as city directories and interview members of the Hispanic community.

                    Cuéllar explores the early barrios near major sources of employment and follows the rise of a business class, especially the restaurateurs. Mexicanos who served their country in World War II came home to racism and changed the landscape of the city. Today, Hispanic leaders play a proud role in the Mexican community and are an integral part of the leadership of the city.

                    Cuéllar's Stories from the Barrio, the first attempt to examine this community and its history, paves the way for further research into Fort Worth's diverse past.

                    Bravo to Carlos Cuellar for his history of the Fort Worth Mexican-American community. His combined historical and sociological approach that he garnished so well with interesting interviews and oral histories makes for an excellent presentation of a people's struggle to settle and succeed in the creation of a community that became their barrio.

                    Dr. Cuellar's outstanding collection of period photographs combined with his fluid and well organized presentation make for wonderfully easy reading for non- academics while setting a serious academic blueprint for historians, sociologists and anthropologists to do similar studies of other Hispanic communities in the United States. Personally, I would like to see Cuellar encourage his students into doing similar and much needed studies of communities along the Rio Grande from Laredo to Brownsville, Texas.
