Excellent Information - And Fun To Read!
You know when you read a really good story, how difficult it is
to put the book down?

Well, you don't expect to have the feeling when you read a book about financial planning and wealth creation do you?

Yet, that's just what happened to me.I picked up my copy of James' book and couldn't put it down until reading the very last page.Since then, I've read it over several more times and found some things I missed.

Bringing money in hasn't been the problem for me, keeping more
of it certainly has - James' has some great advice and practical techniques that worked for him - retired at 38 - NICE!

Highly recommended.

Jeff

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Street hockey (also known as road hockey, deck hockey, ground hockey, easy hockey, cosom hockey or ball hockey) is a type of hockey played on foot, without skates, usually on an outdoor surface (very often a street, parking lot, or other asphalt surface). It usually involves no contact and fairly small amount of gear to be worn. Depends on a persons preference to use certain gear like shin pads and such. Street hockey is most popular in Canada and parts of the northern United States. For example, it can be seen at outdoor roller rinks, city parks, and playgrounds of Montreal, New York City, Toronto, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Vancouver. The United States term street hockey is more closely related to that of the Canadian terms dek hockey or ball hockey. In Atlantic Canada, the sport is also often referred to as street hockey. Street hockey can also refer to roller hockey, when inline skates are worn to play otherwise the same game. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A tennis ball is a ball designed for the sport of tennis, approximately 6.7 cm (2.7 in.) in diameter and is usually yellow, but in recreational play can be virtually any color. Tennis balls are covered in a fibrous fluffy felt which modifies their aerodynamic properties. Its colour has also sparked much debate, with many claiming that tennis balls are generally green and not yellow mainly due to the fluorescent nature of the color. People still get confused about the true colour of tennis balls. In the early years of tennis, balls were often made of leather stuffed with hair or wool. Shakespeare refers to this in Much Ado About Nothing (Act III, Scene II): CLAUDIO: No, but the barber's man hath been seen with him,and the old ornament of his cheek hath already stuffed tennis-balls. ...

Excerpt: The term street football encompasses a number of informal varieties of association football. These informal games do not necessarily utilise the requirements of a formal game of football, such as a large field, field markings, goal apparatus and corner flags, eleven players per team (with a minimum of seven per team), or match officials (referee and assistant referees). Often the most basic of set-ups will involve just a ball with a wall or fence used as a goal, or items such as clothing being used for goalposts (hence the phrase "jumpers for goalposts"). The ease of playing these informal games explains that they are popular all over the world. Street football can be divided into three varieties: minor adaptations of the association football rules, games based on scoring goals and games which are not. Street football in SingaporeThis game is played similarly to a normal football game but with minimal rules and with any number of players, even two individuals playing against each other. The more complicated rules are often disregarded, mainly offside and the rule that keepers must not pick up a backpass. Tactics are much looser than in professional matches, with many teams effectively playing Total Football. In most cases the game is not timed, and the first team to score a set number of goals is the win...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1101673 ... Read more

Product Description

Peter Ellis is a rookie probation officer in interior British Columbia when he gets saddled with a file that goes sideways. He's not in the best headspace to start with, since his marriage broke down last winter. Now it's the middle of summer, the rodeo's coming to town, and the one solid thing left in his life, his job, suddenly bucks him hard.

Former NHL player Todd Nolin is Peter's new "client." Peter's job is all about risk management, and Nolin is a good bet to commit more mayhem. The victim is Todd’s wife, Marina Faro, who has been badly beaten and feels her estranged husband is bent on killing her.

Peter grapples with his need to keep Marina safe while maintaining a rein on his own attraction to her. There's no doubt that the local hockey hero is dangerous, but Marina's something of a puzzle herself. All Peter knows is he's drifting outside the line, and what lies beyond may be death.

Product Description
After the New York Rangers missed the NHL playoffs for the third consecutive season in `99-2000, big changes were in the air at Madison Square Garden. Glen Sather was hired as team president/general manager, and he named Ron Low coach and brought back Mark Messier, the captain of the Rangers` 1995 Stanley Cup championship team. In Nightmare on 33rd Street: A Long Season With The New York Rangers, veteran hockey beat writer Rick Carpiniello takes a day-by-day, game-by-game journey with a team in transition.

From the preseason to the season`s bitter end and the important off-season dealings, Carpiniello brings hockey fans inside the locker rooms and boardrooms and onto the ice with a team struggling to regain its winning form. Sather, the architect of championship clubs in Edmonton, discovers that running a team in the big city is a different story. In trying to find the right mix of talent, players are traded or sent to the minors while others are brought to the big club in their places. Constant trade rumors and turmoil sweep through the locker room. Key Ranger players, including goalie Mike Richter, fall victim to injury. Coach Low juggles the ever-changing roster, while captain Messier, now 40 years old, attempts to rally the troops.

Nightmare on 33rd street is an inside look at the tumultuous New York Rangers` 2000-01 season by a seasoned observer of the hockey scene. ... Read more

Where did I hear that before?
As with the 2 previous reviews, I agree that alot of the book was repetitive.The book also lacked flow.There were spots that he should have given more details but didn't.There were some interesting notes as to why players were not taken to task.However, I found myself looking for more....but it just wasn't there.

Over and Over and Over
As a Rangers fan, I expected at minimum an interesting read. But what I got is a poorly written piece of tripe. Talk about repetitive: In one instance the writer, Rick Carpiniello, quotes three players--back-to-back-to-back--who essentially say the same thing.
This book sorely needs an editor. Long rambling quotes permeate, while there isn't nearly enough analysis. The writer also has a penchant for doing things like saying the Rangers poor play is not acceptable. He follows by quoting Theo Fluery who says "No, it's not acceptable," and Mark Messier, who says "Losing isn't something we can easily accept." NO KIDDING.
It's a difficult read and way too repetitive. Did I mention it repeats itself--over and over? I ended up skipping paragraphs at a time. I don't know how this guy made it out of J-School.

Get in the corners, Carp!
While this book did confirm some of my worst suspicions (GM Mark Messier and Muckler's uh, style), I found that after awhile, it read like a gigantic newspaper article, with re-hashing of stats and scores (They were 1-8-1, with 30 shots...yadayadayada). I even recognized some of the quotes from the papers. It seemed that Carpiniello wanted and tried to be honest, but since I suppose he's still working around these guys, he can't get too opinionated. For instance, he would recall an intriguing incident or remark, then leave it alone. I would have preferred to hear his personal opinions of why Muckler did or said 'such and such.' Here and there, he might insert a little bit of what he thinks, he does get on Sather a little bit, but I'd prefer if he had just let it fly. ... Read more
