Product Description
It will soon be a hundred and twenty years since Burke first took his seat, in the House of Commons, and it is eighty-five years since his voice ceased to be heard there. Since his death, as during his life, opinion as to the place to which he is entitled among the eminent men of his country has touched every extreme. Tories have extolled him as the saviour of Europe. Whigs have detested him as the destroyer of his party. One undiscriminating panegyrist calls him the most profound and comprehensive of political philosophers that has yet existed in the world. Another and more distinguished writer insists that he is a resplendent and far-seeing rhetorician, rather than a deep and subtle thinker. A third tells us that his works cannot be too much our study, if we mean either to understand or to maintain against its various enemies, open and concealed, designing and mistaken, the singular constitution of this fortunate island. A fourth, on the contrary, declares that it would be hard to find a single leading principle or prevailing sentiment in one half of these works, to which something extremely adverse cannot be found in the other half. A fifth calls him one of the greatest men, and, Bacon alone excepted, the greatest thinker, who ever devoted himself to the practice of English politics. Yet, oddly enough, the author of the fifth verdict will have it that this great man and great thinker was actually out of his mind when he composed the pieces for which he has been most widely admired and revered.

A sufficient interval has now passed to allow all the sediment of party fanaticism to fall to the bottom. The circumstances of the world have since Burke's time undergone variation enough to enable us to judge, from many points of view, how far he was the splendid pamphleteer of a faction, and how far he was a contributor to the universal stock of enduring wisdom. Opinion is slowly, but without reaction, settling down to the verdict that Burke is one of the abiding names in our history, not because he either saved Europe or destroyed the Whig party; but because he added to the permanent considerations of wise political thought, and to the maxims of wise practice in great affairs, and because he imprints himself upon us with a magnificence and elevation of expression that places him among the highest masters of literature, in one of its highest and most commanding senses. Those who have acquired a love for abstract politics amid the almost mathematical closeness and precision of Hobbes, the philosophic calm of Locke or Mill, or even the majestic and solemn fervour of Milton, are revolted by the unrestrained passion and the decorated style of Burke. His passion appears hopelessly fatal to success in the pursuit of Truth, who does not usually reveal herself to followers thus inflamed. His ornate style appears fatal to the cautious and precise method of statement, suitable to matter which is not known at all unless it is known distinctly. Yet the natural ardour which impelled Burke to clothe his judgments in glowing and exaggerated phrases, is one secret of his power over us, because it kindles in those who are capable of that generous infection a respondent interest and sympathy. But more than this, the reader is speedily conscious of the precedence in Burke of the facts of morality and conduct, of the many interwoven affinities of human affection and historical relation, over the unreal necessities of mere abstract logic. Burke's mind was full of the matter of great truths, copiously enriched from the fountains of generous and many-coloured feeling.

Brooke's New Calendar
It's worth getting.The clarity and quality of each photo is excellent.The photo for the month of February is very good. Each month is displayed across two pages and is 2 feet tall by 1 foot wide except for June's which is turned sideways so If you plan to hang it up it will be somewhat difficult to use as a reference for that month. A cuter picture of Brooke will be hard to come by than the one for March.There are eight candid shots taken from the shoot on the inside front cover along with a larger one of Brooke looking very cute.An introduction by Brooke is on the adjacent page.All-in-all I'd give it 4 stars out of five.I haven't come across many women as pretty as Brooke.If you're buying it as a gift, you can't go wrong.

Brooke is a rare necessity
It's worth getting.I'm a big fan of Brooke's but I almost didn't buy it, having seen the back cover in the store.If you've seen the back cover in person, what you do not see on it is the photos for the months of February and October.For February, Brooke has each hand strategically placed, with fingers spread apart, instead of sporting a bikini top; it's the most revealing it can be without displaying any surprises. In October she has her arms across her chest in lieu of a top as well. Each picture for each month is 2 feet tall by 1 foot wide except for June's which is the exact opposite; If you plan to hang it up: the month of June's photo is displayed horizontally not vertically as well as the days; so it will be somewhat annoying to use as a reference for June. A cuter picture of Brooke will be hard to come across than the one for March.My copy has some dark ink spots on the month of February near her belly button, but it is probably a printing error limited to only a few copies. There are eight candid shots taken from the shoot on the inside front cover along with a larger one of her holding up her untied bikini top.An introduction by Brooke is on the adjacent page.The see-through bathing suit photo was taken from the side and doesn't reveal as much as most guys would hope to see.All-in-all I'd give it 4 and 1/2 stars out of five.The clarity and quality of each photo is excellent.I haven't come across many women as pretty as Brooke.If you're buying it as a gift, you can't go wrong. ...

Product Description
Motherhood revealed-by a high-profile celebrity mom, dynamic CEO, and Dancing with the Stars co-host and winner.

Brooke Burke knows all too well that when you're raising four children, running a household, tending a relationship, building a multimillion- dollar business and pursuing a television career, there's no room for pretense or posturing. Rejecting the idea that there's some simple step-by-step path to the Perfect Body, the Perfect Relationship, or the Perfect Career, she reveals the truths about motherhood with the sincerity that today's smart, sexy and soulful moms need. Brooke lets readers know what really goes on behind the scenes of a surprisingly ordinary life as a celebrity mom, and how she manages to make it all work (on the good days). Always acknowledging the chaos that is present in any woman's life, Burke offers readers a more calculated approach to life and motherhood: dance through it. It's all about hearing the music, finding your footing, and moving gracefully.

From tips about caring for your body, to her own stories about the missteps she's made as a mother, to advice about how to handle the tough emotional challenges moms face, Brooke paints an honest picture of motherhood that all women can relate to, insisting that it's not about being right or wrong, it's about being your authentic, naked self. ...

A video that gets results
I own all of Gunnar Peterson's core secrets dvd's and I've been very happy with the results I've seen.I am not going to tell you that you'll see immediate results because I believe that just does not happen.What I will tell you is after the first time you use AB ASSAULT you will know that you worked your core muscles!!It felt great!What is annoying about this dvd is Brooke Burke.You do hear her whining in the background and putting her weights aside whenever she gets a chance.I found that to be the worst part of the workout, but if you can ignore her and focus on Gunnar and what he's doing, you'll get a great workout and you WILL see results....I promise.Just don't expect them overnight.I honestly started seeing my clothes fit better after a month of working out every day.Good Luck!:) ...

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Burger King is a character created as its advertising mascot for the international fast-food restaurant franchise Burger King who became famous in numerous television commercials, including the Burger King Kingdom. The original Burger King as used in print campaigns in the 1960s Second version of the original Burger KingThe first iteration of the King was part of Burger King sign at the first store in Miami, Florida in 1955. Later signs had the King shown sitting on a "burger throne" as well as atop the BK sign while holding a beverage. In the late 1960s/early 1970s Burger King started using a small, animated version of the King in its children's advertising where the animated Burger King was voiced by Allen Swift. The King was featured in a series of advertisements in which he would visit a Burger King outlet for an interview with a television reporter or see a former court wizard who now worked for the chain. In all ads the King would present children with small gifts or buy them some Burger King food. Many of these commercials featured the king character reciting the restaurant's slogan, "Burger King, where kids are king". By the late 70s, the original animated King was soon replaced by the "Marvelous Magical Burger King" (portrayed by the late Dick Gjonola), a red-bearded, victorean-era king who ruled the Burger King Kingdom and performed magic tricks that were mostly sleight-of-hand, but sometimes relied on camera tricks or involved his "Magic Ring" which could summon copious amounts of food. The King was accompanied with usually two or more children and n...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2116850 ... Read more

Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 74. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: McDonaldland was a fantasy world, inhabited by Ronald McDonald and other characters, which was formerly used in marketing for McDonald's. In addition to being used in advertising, the characters were used as the basis for equipment in the playgrounds attached to some McDonald's. The Land has been overall abandoned in their marketing brands, as well as the supporting characters, but the main character Ronald McDonald is still seen in their commercials and in Happy Meal toys. Cycle one of McDonaldland began in January 1971, about the same time McDonald's was replacing its drive-ins with mansard roofed restaurants. These early commercials were built on an upbeat, bubble-gum style tune, and featured a narrator; many had plots that involved various villains trying to steal a corresponding food item, foiled by Ronald. McDonaldland itself, as it was depicted in the commercials, was a magical place where plants, foods, and inanimate objects were living, speaking characters. In addition to being the home to Ronald and the other core characters, McDonaldland boasted a theme park of "Thick Shake Volcanoes", anthropomorphized "Apple Pie Trees", "French Fry Bushes" (where McDonalds French Fries grew from bushes), "The Hamburger Patch" (where McDonald's hamburgers grew out of the ground like plants), "Filet-O-Fish Lake", and many other fanciful features based around various McDonald's menu items.
