Road To Success - Is It Really Necessary To Read All These Books To Succeed?
Ok, if you are like me, I am not yet able to read a book a day. For me, finishing a book in a week is great. However, the point here isn?t how long it takes you to read a book, the point is that you need to read something every day that is beneficial to your personal growth.
Now, if you are tired of hearing all of the reading hoopla from everyone and you think it?s just a bunch of hype, you are not alone. You may be asking yourself how in the world reading a self-development education book going to help change the things in your life. Not only did I used to feel the same way but, just the other day I had someone tell me their own personal story.
They said that when they first heard all of these ?self help? people talking about the importance of reading books they thought it was just hype. As a matter of fact, they didn?t even pick up a book for a few months because they just didn?t believe it would help them. However, one day they rationalized it in their head and thought to themselves, ?How can I judge what they are saying is correct if I haven?t even tried it myself?? So they picked up one of the recommended books and committed to read the whole thing. They told me that it only took the first few chapters of reading before they noticed how what they had read began to affect them in a positive way.
Of course, merely reading something doesn?t mean anything. It?s the application of what you read that brings changes to your life. So do what my friend did and just commit to find a good self-development book for the area in your life that you want to change, and read at least one page per day until you finish it. You will be amazed at what happens.

Some Like It Hot (1959)
Some Like It Hot (1959)
When Chicago musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) accidentally witness a gangland shooting, they quickly board a southbound train to Florida, disguised as Josephine and Daphne, the twonewestand homeliestmembers of an all-girl jazz band. Their cover is perfect...until a lovelorn singer (Marilyn Monroe) falls for Josephine, an ancient playboy (Joe E. Brown) falls for Daphne, and a mob boss (George Raft) refuses to fall for their hoax! Nominated* for 6 Academy Awards(r), Some Like It Hot is the quintessential madcap farce and one of the greatest of all film comedies (The Motion Picture Guide). *1959: Director, Actor (Lemmon), Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography (B&W), Art Direction (B&W), Costume Design (B&W, winner)
Customer Review: Some Like It Hot
ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon & Marilyn Monroe star in this 1959 comedy which will make even the most serious of people laugh. Nominated for seven Oscars & winner of one (B & W Costume Design), Some Like It Hot entertains from beginning to end. The story takes place in Chicago during the Depression; Curtis (saxophone) & Lemmon (bass) are musicians that aren't doing well. They witness the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre & they're seen by the murderers, Lemmon's bass fiddle takes a few shots. Of course, they decide to run. They can't get a gig until they find out about an all-girl band that's heading for Miami & is short the same instruments they play. Marilyn Monroe is in the band & the comedy is only now warming up.
Curtis & Lemmon dress in drag in order to join the band because no men are allowed. Monroe likes to drink & Curtis & Lemmon are more than willing to aid & abet her. Curtis, teh playboy, wants to develop a relationship with Monroe so he takes on the persona of a rich bachelor. The farcical irony of this stems from the fact that Lemmon (in drag & makeup) has gotten an older, rich bachelor to fall for her(him). The part of the rich bachelor is played by Joe E. Brown. Curtis appropriates his clothes & yacht in order to pursue & woo Monroe.
It's a good thing that this movie was filmed in black & white. The makeup used on the two male leads appears to be garish even in this medium. The use of color film would have made this much too apparent.
George Raft, famous for his gangster role twenty years earlier, makes a featured appearance as the gangster who orchestrated the hit & who's now looking for the runaway musicians. And, of course, he ends up in Miami when the mob has their annual get together there. The ending is fast & furious with laughs abounding, not much is subtle here. The ending is a classic when Joe E. Brown proposes to Jack Lemmon's female personna. Lemmon makes every excuse possible why he/she can't marry him. Finally, Lemmon confesses he's a man & Brown's reply is hilarious. You must see it to believe it.
Customer Review: OUTRAGEOUS AND SOPHISTICATED - One of the Best Comedies Ever
"Outrageous" is the best word I can think of to describe Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot - unless it's "sophisticated." Some may think that a strange combination, but I don't think so. We have the burlesque element of two musicians - played by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon - who are driven by lack of work to impersonate females so they can get jobs in an all-girl band that's heading to Florida. (One of the musicians, Curtis, also impersonates Cary Grant later in the film - not for work but love.) We have gangland, prohibition and the Chicago St. Valentine's Day Massacre, featuring George Raft as a gangster and Pat O'Brien as a police detective. (This is another reason our two musicians need to be incognito and heading out of town - they accidentally witnessed that holiday massacre.) We have the lush, tropical setting to which our heroes (heroines?) are fleeing: an exclusive Florida resort for retired millionaires. We have the gorgeously seductive Marilyn Monroe as the singer of the band in one of her hottest roles, not to mention her rendition of a pair of really hot songs. And we have one of the homliest comedians that ever graced the silver screen - Joe E. Brown - as the millionaire that takes a liking to Lemmon's female persona. It is definitely a combination of the outrageous and the sophisticated.
In order to pursue Monroe, Curtis doffs his wig and female padding and dons a blue blazer and captain's cap, a la Cary Grant; but he also blackmails Lemmon into keeping Brown occupied on shore so that he and Monroe can take advantage of the millionaire's yacht. In one of the great, classic scenes of cinema, we cut between Curtis and Monroe making love on the yacht, and Lemmon and Brown dancing at an outdoor restaurant. Curtis convinces Monroe that he has become frigid because of a lost love, so she decides to try to cure him. Cut to Lemmon and Brown dancing a tango to the same tune Billy Wilder used in Sunset Boulevard for the New Year's Eve party. Cut back to Curtis and Monroe kissing - he's starting to thaw. Cut to Lemmon and Brown dancing - they exchange a long stem carnation between their teeth. Back to Curtis and Monroe - his glasses are becoming fogged. Lemmon and Brown - they've blindfolded the orchestra!
When the two red-hot lovers meet back at their room, Lemmon tells Curtis that he's engaged. "Who's the lucky girl," Curtis asks. "I am," Lemmon coos, as he plays the shakers he's brought back from the restaurant. Curtis is stunned: he's done such a good job convincing his friend that he's a girl, Lemmon's ready to pick out china. Now he has to try to undo it, but it's not going to be easy - the deluded Lemmon is thinking about the alimony checks he'll collect if the marriage doesn't work out. It's all a lot of really outrageous - and sophisticated - fun.
Some Like It Hot was a high point in the careers of its three stars, as well as its director. Curtis and Lemmon would pair up again in The Great Race (1965), a wonderful Blake Edwards slapstick spoof, and make many more films as well - but this was one of their best. Monroe, on the other hand, appeared in only three more films before her death at the age of 36 in 1962 - so this was definitely the high point of her career. Billy Wilder would make about a dozen more films; but since this was his best comedy, it was a high point for him, too. Some Like It Hot was nominated for six Oscars, but only won Best Costume Design for a Black-and-White film, because it was competing against Ben-Hur, which swept the Oscars that year.

DEWALT HVAC Technician Certification Exam Guide (Dewalt Exam/Certification Series)
DEWALT HVAC Technician Certification Exam Guide (Dewalt Exam/Certification Series)
The DEWALT® HVAC Certification Exam Guide is the most complete and comprehensive HVAC technician certification book available. This new ?standard? for the climate control industry will help readers pass the NATE, ICE, RSES Certification, HVAC Excellence, and HVAC Technician Licensing Exams. Innovative coverage also makes this exam guide extremely useful for studying and preparing for the state limited energy license and HVAC contractor licenses.
Customer Review: A good start
This is a good book to start with to review for the NATE or other tests. It only has a limited number of questions though. I took the NATE Heat Pump test and passed with this books help, but it only had 50 sample questions for Heat Pump's and the NATE test had 100 questions. My suggestion is that there be more sample questions. I'd also like to see a reference for additional information if you don't understand a question. This book serves a purpose, but could be a better tool...
Customer Review: Industry Standard for the NATE exam
This book is absolutely the standard for the NATE Exam. Not only does it give you insight on the types of questions to study for, but it gives you information on how to beat the test writers at their own game. A very good read!
Verilux Natural Spectrum Deluxe Portable Lamp
Verilux Natural Spectrum Deluxe Portable Lamp
Customer Review: An excellent reading lamp
I've been using this as a reading lamp in both my home and work offices for about the past six months, and generally have been happy with it. The other posters certainly are right about the sticky residue, although the company name doesn't bother me, I guess, as I'm withing viewing range of my Samsung monitor, Jamo speakers, Logitech keyboard, Brother printer, etc., etc.)
I haven't thought about this lamp as being portable, given that it weighs over 3 pounds, but if you read a lot it might be worth taking along. It certainly is bright, but not overly so. I find the natural spectrum light makes the material easier to read and causes less eyestrain than regular incandescent or fluorescent light. The bulb does put out some heat, so be careful.
There's one annoying quirk. In my office, the lamp is near my Tivoli table radio. When the lamp is on, it causes an electronic buzzing on the FM band. There may be some filtering I can do to solve this problem, but I haven't found it yet.
Customer Review: Not the product I expected
I bought this product specifically because it was originally described as being/having "mood-brightening Natural Spectrum light." I thought it would help on the gloomy Pacific Northwest winter days. I got it on a Friday sale price, so it seemed like a good value for the product description given here.
The lamp just arrived (a few days ago - when I originally submitted this review), and the product's FAQ sheet states this product is "designed only to provide excellent quality light for daily tasks and hobbies. This lamp does *not* offer the correct level of light intensity specified by the National Institute of Mental Health for the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.).
The product literature packed with the lamp has no mention at all that this product offers "mood-brightening" light. Because of this glaring misrepresentation, I am currently debating whether to the return the lamp.
I agree with the other reviewer that the adhesive labels (there are two) are VERY sticky and difficult to remove completely. I used a combination of methods to remove the adhesive residue.
And I agree with the comments about the company name being printed on the front of the lamp. When I saw it in the picture, I thought it had to be some kind of company watermark or logo for the stock photo ONLY, so I was shocked to see "Verilux" actually printed/embossed into the lamp housing, in a very prominent location on the front of the lamp. Very cheesy, for a lamp of this price point and quality.
If you're looking for a "clean" bright light, in a stylish, portable lamp, this is not a bad choice. But if you're looking for a full-spectrum light that does offer some light "therapy," this is probably the wrong choice. The company does have other, "therapeutic" lighting options, but at a higher price point.
Nov 1, 2006 UPDATE - I was concerned enough about the original, misleading product description that I submitted my concerns to Amazon. I now see that the description had been revised since submitting those concerns. I want to thank Amazon for their very prompt response in correcting the product description, which should help other buyers make a more-informed decision.
