Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations Review

Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A fantastic book of quotations, and the most comprehensive collection of humorous quotes I've yet to come across. The organization is excellent, with an adequate list of themes serving as the table of contents. Further aiding discovery of the perfect quote is an index of authors/sources, and a very well developed keyword index. Both of these supplemental indices are a bit confusing, but not overly so. They list the applicable theme and the numbered entry under that theme; there are no page numbers given. It's a bit confusing on the first few uses, after that it is simple.
The book is a fun, quick read as well, dense (with its relatively small print) with goodies from John Updike, Cheryl Tiegs, Henry Kissinger, Frank Zappa, George Foreman, P. J. O'Rourke, etc. I heartily recommend it.

Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey Treats for Kids Review

Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey Treats for Kids
Average Reviews:

This is such an eye-pleasing book. I just love the scallop edged pages, and the sturdy, colorful cover. The lay flat spiral binding inside is also a good feature. I love food photography so I do wish this book had a picture of every recipe, but I understand the space constraints. There are a good amount of photographs though, and they are all beautiful!
We already own a lot of kid-related cookbooks, so I wasn't sure if we needed another one. I was delighted to find that this book is really appropriate for the more advanced young chef. My 13 year old daughter takes her cooking very seriously and she felt like this book was filled with fun recipes that were the kind a real chef would make.
Banana Split Pancakes, New York Crumb Cake, and Chock-a-block Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Muffins are on the top of my list of projects I can wait to taste from this book!
My only complaint is just related to the packaging done by amazon; some of my pages were bent by the inner cardboard piece inserted into the book.

Turbo Jam: Punch Kick & Jam Review

Turbo Jam: Punch Kick and Jam

This is a wonderful high intensity workout. If you haven't tried Turbo Jam, you are in for a real workout treat! Chalene takes what might be boring punch and kick moves and turns them into exciting ab core exercises that really get you motivated and working out! This is one of my favorite workout DVD's in the Turbo collection. She has some wonderful combination moves that are great and get you pumped. I've been doing Turbo Jam for a short while but lost weight and inches (read my review on Turbo Jam Fat Blaster). This is a great workout DVD. The moves are designed to flow with your own natural movement and there is a team member on all the DVD's, Mindy, who always does the modified version for those who need a little boost. For the rest of us, these moves can be pumped higher and hotter to get the best cardio workout. If you don't know about Chalene and her infectious smile and truly inspirational workout spirit, you are missing out on a great thing! This DVD has about six minutes of warm up which starts off hot and moves into the rest of its 48 minutes (total) of hard workout. The end of the DVD has some tubular toning, just a couple of minutes or so. The tube thing is a rubber band with handles to work the deltoids and glutes (butt muscles) to tone. I think it was a way to introduce the tube idea - I'm not so crazy about it. (Producers should let her do what she does best and thats pump, punch, kick and jam). On the other hand, the tubes help you learn balance and coordination which calls for a different use of your muscles.) The DVD ends with about a three minute stretching routine. I do the tube stuff at the end as part of a cool down anyway. My only personal bias is that I wish they would have lengthened the cardio by a few minutes and dumped the tubular stuff. You will however get your total cardio workout and will feel it at the end. It's a great routine by design, it is a total workout and one of my absolute best in my collection. The DVD is about 50 minutes long in total workout time.
