Excerpt: Sir Stephen Tyrone Colbert, KSJ, DFA, (pronounced ; born on May 13, 1964) is an American political satirist, writer, comedian and television host. He is the host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, a satirical news show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative political pundits. Colbert originally studied to be an actor, but became interested in improvisational theatre when he met famed Second City director Del Close while attending Northwestern University. He first performed professionally as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago; among his troupe mates were comedians Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he developed the critically acclaimed sketch comedy series Exit 57. Colbert also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show before collaborating with Sedaris and Dinello again on the cult television series Strangers with Candy. He gained considerable attention for his role on the latter as closeted, gay history teacher Chuck Noblet. It was his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central's news-parody series The Daily Show, however, that first introduced him to a wide audience. In 2005, he left The Daily Show to host a sp...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=335195 ... Read more

Product Description
Ghostbusters (titled on-screen as Ghost Busters) is a 1984 science-fiction comedy film written by co-stars Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis about three eccentric New York City parapsychologists-turned-ghost exterminators. The film was released in the United States on June 8, 1984 and like several films of the era, teamed Aykroyd and/or Ramis with headliner Bill Murray. It was produced and directed by Ivan Reitman, who also directed Stripes, and stars Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts, and Ernie Hudson. With inflation adjustments, the film's original release grossed over $500 million US dollars counting sales in just the U.S., making it domestically one of the highest-grossing films of 1984 and also domestically the 31st highest-grossing film. It was followed by a sequel, Ghostbusters II (1989), and two animated television series, The Real Ghostbusters (later renamed Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters) and Extreme Ghostbusters. Ramis, who co-wrote the first two films, has confirmed that a script for a potential third film ? a spin-off sequel with the original cast appearing only as minor characters ? is being developed by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, the writing team best known for their work on Curb Your Enthusiasm and the American version of The Office. Producer Judd Apatow (a producer of the Ramis-directed Year One) is also slated to be involved. ... Read more

Excerpt: Dr. Ezekiel "Zeke" Jonathan Emanuel MD Ph.D (born April 1957) is an American National Institutes of Health bioethicist and fellow at the nonprofit bioethics research institute The Hastings Center. He has been called a leading opponent of legalized euthanasia, sometimes called state-assisted suicide, and is a proponent of a universal health care. Emanuel is the son of Dr. Benjamin M. Emanuel and Marsha Emanuel and the divorced father of three daughters. His two younger brothers are White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, a former Democratic US Representative, and Hollywood-based talent agent Ari Emanuel. He has an adopted sister, Shoshana Emanuel. His fathers brother, Emanuel, was killed in the 1936 Arab Riots in Palestine, after which the family changed its name from Auerbach to Emanuel in his honor. Ezekiel Emanuels father, Benjamin, an Israeli immigrant, was a pediatrician on the North Side of Chicago. He provided free care to poor immigrants and led efforts to get rid of lead paint due to its negative consequences for children. Emanuels mother, Marsha, a nurse and psychiatric social worker, was active in civil rights, including the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). She attended marches and demonstrations with her children. Emanuel recalled in a 2009 interview that, in his childhood, "worrying about ethical...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=8243661 ... Read more

Product Description
In this exclusive audio publishing event, Billy Collins, former U.S. Poet Laureate, shares an evening of his poetry in a benefit reading for WNYC, New York Public Radio. Often compared to Robert Frost, his poetry has been embraced by people of all ages and backgrounds, and his readings are most often standing room only.

Performed by the author at Peter Norton Symphony Space in New York City, Billy Collins reads 24 of his poems, including "Dharma" --a spiritual yet humbling ode to man's best friend, "The Lanyard--an amusing recollection about the popular, if not pointless, summer camp pastime, and "Consolation" --a tongue-in-cheek reflection of a cancelled European trip, and the benefits of staying home instead. In addition to the poetry readings, Collins also spends some time in a brief question and answer session where he reflects on what makes good poetry, his own process of reaching his audiences as a poet, the success of his Poetry 180 programs in schools nationwide, and an amusing sidebar on his memories growing up as an only child. At times pensive and sardonic, amusing and subtly sarcastic, Billy Collins Live celebrates both the simple and the complex in a language that appeals to all. ... Read more

A welcome surprise
I am not a huge fan of poetry; it's not that I dislike it; it is just not something I look for while searching for a good read. However I was convinced to give Billy Collins a try. A former Poet Laureate of the U.S., Collins' collection of poems was a delightful revelation for me.

This collection of about 20 of Mr. Collins poems is read by the author. The poems are very contemporary and speak of simple things we can all relate to. `The Lanyard' a poem about going to camp and making a lanyard to give to one's mother is charming, funny and touching.The poem about a dog that has died is also funny- but once again touching. In fact I loved all the poems in this collection and plan on getting some of Billy Collins books to read and keep - to read the poems again and again as needed.

If you think you don't like poetry give Billy Collins a try-I think you will be surprised.

Billy Collins: Long may he live!
If you can get past an idiotic short introduction by Bill Murray, you'll enjoy a wonderful experience. Billy Collins has created true poetry that will make you think and laugh.

worth the effort
I heard Billy Collins speak in Wellington early one chilly Sunday morning. He commented that he was amazed anyone would want to get out of bed and listen to him on such a cold day ...he wouldn't! Of course we all thought it worth the effort, nothing beats hearing a really superb poet reading his own work superbly.I heartily recommend this cd, it's always in the most played pile near my cd player and on my ipod,so that I can listen to him any time.
A great selection of his work and interesting pre-ambles before each poem.

Billy Collins CD
As always, Billy Collins is above and beyond in his poetry readings.Great humor, great heart and an accessibility rarely found in intellectual circles!You will fall in love with him and with poetry all over again.

Take the phone off the hook
This is a figure of speech of course -once upon a time... never mind, but you'd burn your dinner or if it's cooked, then the food on your fork will miss you mouth, if you try to cook or eat as you listen to Billy Collins read.It's a treat. ... Read more

What's around the bend?
I am surprised that a book published in 1995 has had only one review posted on Amazon.It is a hard book to review,but I'll give it a try.
I rated it 5* because of the wide coverage,quality of the pictures,sketches,maps,paper,printing and binding.It is very well constructed and fairly priced.
As an avid Birder with a wide interest in all areas of nature I have spent a lot of time walking the states of the US and provinces of Canada.This book covers just about everything;but in very scant detail.There are 288 pages,a pletora of pictures,sketches,maps,and photos;but every 2 pages is a different topic.For instance,pages 154 and 155 cover Southeastern Subtropical Forests;way too big a subject for 2 pages,including half of which consists of about 8 picturss and sketches..This book is so broad and tries to cover so much,that I wonder what value it has.One would certainly not carry it in the field as a "Companion".It's too big,too heavy and no detail for any area.It is more of a catalogue than a FIELD GUIDE.
As to what this book might be useful for;I can go along with Margo,who felt it might be useful in the classroom.Even then it's use would be more appropriate at the lower grade level.It's certainly constructed to take a lot of wear and tear.
I would not recommend its use as a field guide or as a gift for someone who does walk and enjoys nature.
While the book covered so many things;I can't remembering one of the most important things about nature walking,namely the issue of trespassing;either knowingly or unintentionally.This is particularly important in areas one is not familiar with.
Here are a few signs one might encounter:

NO TRESSPASSING WITHOUT PERMISSION

IF THIS SIGN IS UNDER WATER THE ROAD IS IMPASSIBLE

THIS PROPERTY IS PROTECTED BY SMITH & WESSON

TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT,SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN

THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE,
BUT THE BULL CHARGES

As you can see,some of these signs might seem funny,but anytime you go on private property,it's a serious matter.If in doubt,check first.

Framing an Environment
If you value field guides, you will love this Time-Life edition of "The Walker's Companion" from The Nature Company. Several highly respected nature writers, including David Rains Wallace and Ann Zwinger,make contributions to this well-illustrated and highly informative text.Those names should give you a clue to the excellent combination of literaryand scientific writing that makes this text a must-have reference foranyone who is interested in the environment.

This is a field guide thatpowerfully combines content with context in a way that makes theinformation about nature and the environment not only highly accessible,but intrinsically linked to the key social topics that are central issuesin both science and social studies. Topics include the history of naturewriting and in America, hiking tips, the study of nature throughout theages, field identification and sketching outdoors. Ecological concepts suchas food chains and pollination are concisely described and illustrated in asection titled, "Understanding Nature". Information about everyecosystem from forests, mountains and deserts to farmland and vacant lotsis included in the "Guide to Habitats" section. This kind ofcomprehensive perspective about environment helps the reader to think aboutand see ecology in very relevant ways.

The format of double-facing pagesper topic gives concise environmental information, making it easy to read,index and apply to the reader's world. The guide is an essential home ortravel reference as well as a valuable classroom text that would beinteresting and accessible foraudiences from 10 to 100. The text is soversatile that I have a copy for myself and have ordered a class set for mymiddle school students for a wide range of class use including naturedrawing, research, gardening and environmental education. ...
