I need to review the function, how to repair and the cost of "admission sensor" of the motor, my car is 1996's model

Richard Thau and Jay Heflin have assembled an extremely smart and useful anthology for anyone of any generation (especially Gen Xers) who feel in their bones that the next quarter century will bring real trouble. Among their best items are a remarkable 1911 exchange of views between the middle-aged Cornelia Comer (of the Missionary Generation) and the young Randolph Bourne (Lost Generation) that sounds quite similar to the Boomer-Xer dialogue of the '90s--and very different from the Generation Gap of the '60s. It's an instructive example of the cycle of generations at work. You might as well face it, Xers and Boomers: You're going to be tested on all this material, when Social Security enters its melt-down phase later in your lives, so you might as well read the book.

This book would not be possible if not for the federally sanctioned, penultimate pyramid scam known as social security. The viewpoints illustrated in this book put into perspective what generational warfare is all about.

I truly recommend this book to readers that are either living...THE LIFESTYLE or have an interest in it.This book is truly a gem and truly helps readers to better understand that a Dominate / Master need not be cruel or mean but rather loving , caring and very protective over HIS slave / property.This book makes the person reading it actually FEEl AND GO TRHOUGH THE MANY EMOTIONS THAT THE SUBMISSIVE / slave goes through in this book.I personally cried, laughed, smiles ans YES got wet..blushes now..........THIS BOOK ROCKS.............grinz......good luck Sir .hugs, marina.aka THE better one.winks

I went into this thinking it would be just another "BDSM" book,
and was quite suprized to find just how informative this book was. Being new to the "Lifestyle" it gave me much to think about. I could not put the book down! I related to Lisa and felt as though i was living through her, or longed to anyway.
It taught me a great deal about what i want, and the difference
between staying because i wanted to and staying out of fear.
It showed me just how loving a Master/slave relationship should be.
I highly reccomend this book for anyone who has so many questions,(as i did)or just for some good reading.
I found my emotions coming to a head, and in the end, as i read and cried....my heart felt good!
This is a MUST READ!!

I read this back in 1976 immediately after reading Teichmann's Smart Aleck - The Wit, World and Life of Alexander Woollcott, and I could see reading both books again, as Howard Teichmann has a gift for bringing wit to life. However, Kaufman has the more interesting life by far--and I don't just mean because of Mary Astor! Teichmann captures the atmosphere of this circle of unparalled wits, so that you can enjoy the humor with hangover optional. This book would also be interesting to re-read along with Moss Hart's, Act One, to see their play writing collaboration from both sides.

This biography of George Kaufman is excellent and that's just for openers. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of this brilliant playwright, satirist, ladies' man, genius, comic wit, husband, father and friend. He led an incredibly full and fascinating life. The company he kept was unparalleled. The book reveals his earliest days as a child growing up in Pennsylvania,to his marriage to Beatrice, along with his many collaborations with the top writers of the period; many who joined him at the Algonquin Round Table. The book discusses the many women in his life, of which there were many. Not surprising. One chapter is devoted to his relationship with his daughter, Anne. The entire book is excellent; a real page turner! George S. Kaufman was incredibly talented and complex. I love this book! I've read it probably thirty time easily. Obviously this forum wasn't expecting this book to be reviewed or it would have given the option to rank a book 10 stars, which is what I rate it. I can't say enough good things about George S. Kaufman. The book also reveals the meaning behind his middle initial. BRAVO!

I really enjoy this series, though as a rule I just love SX Meagher's style of writing. She really delves into the psyches of her characters, getting to the root of motivations and actions. It's a treat to read. Perhaps it isn't for everyone. I have heard some complaints about the length of some of the books. Myself, I was sort of sad at the "life" detail that was chopped out of the first two books as they were prepared for being published, but it still worked very well. I just love how these characters have been created, how human they seem with their faults and flaws, yet even in their missteps they're also some type of idealized version of aspects of all of us. The heart of these books, the relationship between Ryan and Jaime, provides an extremely strong base, and I love reading about the love and learning they experience in their "ordinary" lives with their family and friends. This author weaves a rich tapestry of setting and psychology that is second to none.

This particular book, the seventh in the series, is also the shortest (so far). It's a charming little ditty that is mostly a light romp through Disneyland as Jaime continues to build a relationship with her mother, but also includes plenty of life lessons and emotional exploration as Jaime learns things about her past and that of her parents, and as Ryan and Jaime deal with taking care of little Caitlin for several days. I'm very impressed at this point in the series about how every situation is used as an opportunity the author can take to deepen the relationships between the characters. This book is a quick read, but has a depth to it as well that makes it satisfying.

So go on vacation! Read about Catherine, Jaime, Ryan and Caitlin in Disney Land, and wish you were there as well: having breakfast with Goofy, riding the Tea Cups, swimming in the Neverland Pool. This book is definitely not a stand alone book, and you'll be lost as far as many of the deeper issues if you jump into the series at this point, but fans of the series should be well entertained.

This is a total feel good story in the I Found My Heart in San Francisco series. I was totally delighted to see this novel in print (and with another great cover).

Terrific writing and lovable characters. I found myself grinning from ear to ear, not only is the story upbeat but the humor is laugh out loud funny

The two main characters, Jamie and Ryan, are as endearing as ever - as well as passionate and very sexy. I couldn't want more and yet I am already clamoring for the next novel in this series.

I will probably read this book at least once a year, it is that good!

This is a Keeper!

Susan Meagher, one of the best writers in lesbian fiction today, shows off her range in this impressive collection of sexy "girl meets girl" stories. Readers are treated not only to fresh characters, but stories told in different voices, with different tones, and in multiple styles and lengths. It's nice to see an author stretch her wings a bit. And Ms. Meagher does that fully with "Girl Meets Girl." This is another solid offering from Brisk Press. Give it a try.

I love Susan X Meagher's stories, and getting seven in one shot is a real treat. Except I read it very quickly and now I want seven more.

The erotica is as advertised -- scintillating -- but there's more to Girl Meets Girl than sex. Meagher's done a great job of stirring adventure, romance or promise into each vignette. That's difficult to do in a short story, but this isn't your typical anthology. With only seven tales -- instead of the twenty or so found in most collections -- Meagher is able to deliver deeper characters, people you'll cheer home.

If you're looking for a formula, you won't find it here. There's nothing in the ordinary. You'll be swept into each story quickly, as you were in "Narc," her sizzling contribution to Undercover Tales. Just don't try to predict how the story will end.

lots of complete fonts, Capital, lowercase and numbers. has everything i wanted so i could practice and master any style i want.

You think I'm kidding, but I am not. I do not know how many times I have searched the calligraphy books for "Old English" for proletariats who wished just the correct typography to permanently stain some dopey word to their body, apparently to guarantee a lifetime of minimum wage employment. This is just what they are looking for. 100 pages of fonts, one of which is guaranteed to meet the victim's expectations. So, you do not need to be a calligrapher to buy this book. A tattoo parlor or even a public library will find this book indispensible. I'm not kidding.

this book is out of print, but I recommend you try to find it used. such a wonderful book. it's set in Northern England at the time of the miners' strike in 1929. I used to get it out of the library several times a year when I was a kid, and as an adult I sought it out. it absolutely stands up to reading it as an adult; there are so many nuances I didn't get when I was 11. It's simply marvelous.

What a great great book! I have read this book many years ago in its Hebrew translation and have been searching for an original language copy ever since. I finally succeeded in purchasing this book through Julian Brogi, one of Amazon used book dealers. Reading the book in its original form has been a wonderful, unique experience. The author uses the slang and common language used at the time and place of the book (although the words can be understood from context, the book provides a glossary in the end) and this adds to the total experience of feeling "Coalgate" in its true form (as far as I understand Coalgate is not a true town, but more a combination of a few coal mining towns but I might very well be mistaken) One short example of the language can be the following arbitrary chosen phrase "Ay, I heard, said Mam. Dear knows how it'll all end. What does your man say?' Mr. Park was a pitman. 'Does he think the' really will strike? You couldn't blame them... That old Strike: folks'd been going on about that Strike for weeks. '... but there'll be a bonnie lot hungered if the' do...the bairns..." .
The story is about Jinnie Friend, an 11 year old girl who has been feeling bad lately due to her "overdoing it" in school, following a period of exams. Jinnie is troubled by her worries that she will not get the scholarship she needs for attending the Secondary school on her way to becoming a teacher. Jinnie's dad, the strict Mr. Friend, adds to her worries by claiming a person "should stay in the station to which God has called... not try to get above yourself which was a sin..." The doctor recommends that Jinnie has a complete change and have a week holiday, and hence Jinnie is on her way to her favorite "Gran at Coalgate " for a week vacation. What a vacation this turns to be! Coalgate is not like home, with Jinnie's father, who is very strict in religion and does not allow any "regular" life enjoyments...Gran lets Jinnie to go to the movies, eat fish and chips and even go to a dance, or more a "church social" as Jinnie constantly reminds herself (so as the word Dance will not slip out of her mouth). Coalgate visit is a "growing up" experience for Jinnie. She is insulted when treated as a child but can not always understand the grownups and their weird ways. This confusion is very well described and so is the way an 11 year old thinks. The story is also a story of the "pitman" - the miners and their way of life, described with a loving eye. Daily life is described in detail and so are the family and neighbors surrounding "Gran's" compassionate, understanding figure. This is a true hard working woman, stable as a rock, who struggles to cut ends and make a living for her family but does not forget for one minute what's important in life.
I can not understand why this book is marked as fitting to ages 4-8. I judge it to be appropriate for young adolescence ages 12-16 and have enjoyed it tremendously as an adult. I am quite positive that younger kids will not be able to understand the story. Also, as the previous reviewer mentioned, there are many nuances you can understand only as an adult and thus, the book is more enjoyable. The author (who has grown up in Northumberland, England) describes the area and its people that have inspired (as the cover says) all her books. Indeed, you can feel how acquainted she is with the place and people and can share the love she feels for them. So be a bonnie lass and get this book for yourself!

Jacques Futrelle was way ahead of his time. I remember when I first read some of his stories, how they seemed so "Modern" with talk of Computers, and Scientific, AND Futuristic things. Jacques Futrelle was very, very famous in his day, and perhaps would have wrote many more great books, unfortunately he was one of the many, many souls that lost his life on the ship you all have heard so much about...The Titanic. So sad that after being so well known in his time, he is all but forgotten now.

This collection of Thinking Machine stories is the classic American analog to Sherlock Holmes. The author develops the logical detective model and these stories are a must-read for all true lovers of the mystery genre. The author died on the Titanic.

This is a fascinating and colorful fictional memoir of a young girl growing up in South Florida in the 1950's. The writing is superb. Each character will remain with you for a long time. If you liked The Glass Castle, The Secret Life of Bees, Zippy, Ellen Foster, etc. etc., you'll LOVE Guava Dreams.

This is a book I couldn't leave. Kelly's unique voice and wit carried me on a mesmerizing journey through the gritty, mango-sticky, sweaty summers of childhood, through the fears and confusions, and the soaring exaltations. It is a sharply real taste of growing up, in a world totally unique, a world that is lost to us now.
