Great Product I got these lacing cards because I wanted to help my son with his fine motor skills. I've tried wooden beads but he never like them; he ended up throwing them away around the house. He adores these cards. He's very much into animals (and the illustrations are super cute), and he seems fascinated with this set. It's also a great challenge for him to make one after another. In addition he plays with them as if they were animal toys. They come in a wooden box for easy storage. I think this is a great and valuable educational toy; the quality is very good and worth the price.

   

Goodbye Kitty (Volume 1)
By Jay Mikael

Goodbye Kitty is an easy-to-read book about getting through the tough time that comes along when a family pet passes away. Written from the perspective of a young girl, Goodbye Kitty tells the story that no matter how bad things seem, with help from others, it can be easier to move past the death of a loved one.

About the Author Author Jay Mikael has spent the last twenty some years with his wife raising their three girls, who are now about to reach their college years. Mikael has worked and lived in his share of Midwestern states, including cities such as Omaha, Chicago, and St. Louis, as well as many other small towns along the way. He says that one of the most interesting positions he held during his career was with the five-and-dime store, F.W. Woolworth, which allowed his family a chance to see many new places. Mikael recently had one of life's "a-ha" moments when he noticed that his daughters started showing more interest in things other than family vacations. Having always liked writing, photography, and painting, paired with the additional time gained from no longer attending his daughter's dance lessons and the like, Mikael started to work on putting together ideas for children's books. Mikael hopes to have as much fun with the next chapter in his life as he has had with the last. So far it has all been a blast...
Moving tribute Goodbye Kitty is a moving tribute that will touch the heart of any child who has loved and lost a cat. I bought this book for my small grandchildren who will soon face the passing of their beloved Sadie. I know that this book will be an often read remembrance and celebration of Sadie's life.

   

Urine Off Stain & Odor Remover for Cats & Kittens
From Urine Off


Amazon Sales Rank: #74304 in Kitchen & Housewares Size: 16.9-fl oz. (500-ml) spray bottle Brand: Urine Off

This stuff really works! One of my cats, had a realy bad urinary tract infection and it was causing him to urinate outside of his litter box. The vet explained to me that this happens because the cat associates the pain while urinating with the litter box. He was trying to let me know he was sick and in doing so, sprayed one of my chairs in the living room, which had just been re-covered. I was at a trade show in NYC and I saw the booth for Urine Off-Stain and Odor Remover and they demonstrated it there. I was amazed at what I saw. Since they could not sell it to me there I ordered it from Amazon. It came quickly and I started to use it. It is EVERYTHING that they say it is. My chair is saved and my cat is feeling better. Urine Off has a pleasant scent and it got rid of the stain and odor. I even used a black light on the chair to confirm that the stain was gone and my nose confirmed that the smell was gone!!! This is a great product! Love it! Works great!! Completely eliminates cat pee and the smell of cats all together, you would never know 2 cats lived in my home. I don't really have a problem with them peeing outside of the box, but I do use it around the litter boxes, on my chairs, couch, and bed (all the places they jump on after they've been in their boxes)..any odor is gone within minutes. I love it :) Not great. I'm not impressed. There was little cat urine deposited on my carpet, not because my cat peed on it, but because their cat box was in a tight space and urine condensed on the carpet/wall. I did use a black light to see where the urine was, saturated the areas with the product and then rinsed and blotted up. After a second round, the carpet still smells like cat urine and chemicals instead of just cat urine. Also, where I used it on my wall it bubbled up some of the paint.

   

Afternoons with Puppy: Inspirations from a Therapist and His Animals
By Aubrey H. Fine, Cynthia J. Eisen

Afternoons with Puppy is a heartwarming account of dynamic relationships and outcomes involving a therapist, his therapy animals, and his patients over the course of almost two decades. It is a narrative of Dr. Fine's experiences and the growing respect for the power of the animals effect on his patients and himself.

Review Clinical psychologist Fine (The Handbook on Animal Assisted Therapy) and Eisen (literature, Nazareth Coll.) here collaborate on a book that is partly a treatise on the ways dogs, birds, and even lizards and fish can be used in therapeutic settings; partly a primer on the life lessons that animals teach; and partly a paean to Fine's pets. Fine sees his animals as "co-therapists" whose quiet presence and nonjudgmental demeanor make his patients comfortable, encourage them to confide, learn patience and self-control, and feel needed. The authors recount many heartwarming and heart-wrenching success that were initiated by Fine's birds and dogs, particularly Puppy, an abused golden retriever that he rehabilitated. Throughout, the writers expound on the virtues animals teach, e.g., "keeping life simple," "learning how to fail," and "shaking it off," which humans would do well to emulate. A good purchase for public libraries. --. About the Author Dr. Aubrey Fine, a clinical psychologist and a professor at California State Polytechnic University, is an internationally renowned expert on Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). He is the editor of the classic book on the subject, the Handbook on Animal Assisted Therapy (2000) and has published other works in the areas of parent/child relationships, learning/attention disorders, and sports psychology.

The Last Deadly Mission
Directed by Olivier Marchal




OK cop melodrama. First of all: I didn't really like this movie, and I wanted to. Daniel Auteuil, the genre, a serial... But no, when I saw the clichés piling up it reminded me of another French tank policier which turned out to be pulp... yes, "36 Quai des Orfebrès". Luckily I hadn't found out on IMDb that they were issued by the same director. If "real life cop experience" makes you put a wife left in coma from "an accident", a child victim from a family murderer, who cries all the time (sometimes flooding) is herself a victim of a bad job, bad relationships with her boyfriend and sister, wait until you see his grandfather die (she sobs again), all her pregnancy, including two stressful events, then childbearing, on camera, long shots of her sweating, then the child's face on camera... What does it have to do with the story? Do we need this to elicit some automatic empathy for any character? If we want to watch a silly sick movie like "Mr. Holland's Opus", which can only resort to low blows because it has nothing to say, go ahead. But this film could have been good. It should have been great. It's a pity, Marchal's got a great CV as an actor (!) as well as a writer and director. I just don't like his way of "emotional blackmail", that the Argentine writer J. L. Borges wrote about 50 years ago. He liked the genre, I suspect he wouldn't like this tergiversation. I've just learned this is the last part of a trilogy, starting with "Gangsers" (2002), then followed by 36 Quai des Orfèvres (nothing to do with the 1947 movie, that was way more daring for its age). Any of the 3 has actors that would make any budding director dream: grouchy Gérard, André Dussollier, Anne Parillaud, Francis Renaud and Olivia Bonamy here. He is very believable (something of Madeleine R. IMDb readers?) . She could make a rock weep. Here she is given such lame material that it only hints at what she could do. Like the "motive" for her to want to track Charles Subra. "Ask him if he had changed". Come' on...! He killed her family, but did his time (= in jail) as a law abiding citizen, but now he's free, we secretly want him killed, and so does she. If not, why ask him with a dishonest kiss to "find him"? If everybody knows he's a loose cannon? But she's got to remain "purely good". Then, she's got to babble something ludicrous as her leitmotif? The problem is that it's the core of this bad movie. Ah, the cliché of "the woman who could be his daughter that puts some order and romance into a loner looser with addiction(s) isn't something you've seen a million times? Again, superb IMDb community of reviewers, help me out with names commenting this review, in your own, add a thread or something. I just don't want to write this review. The only scene I liked was the predictable dog accident with his sidekick. Schneider seems really angry, like if nothing he does could ever turn right. Auteuil has to overact all his other "anger scenes" so as to carry on with this boring film. Like the "botched And at the morgue" scene, the fight with Kovalski, his constant drunkenness, etc. At Quai he's also got to endure jail, unfair condemnation even from his family, bereavement (sounds familiar :)?). Even the filming style here of the melodramatic scenes is the same. In fact, that's what made me think I had seen the same film before... it was Quai :(! Music is good when playing the obsessive tune Schneider gets on his head. Kovalski gets the best line, the good if not superb: "cops are like family, we don't betray each other" (to the fat forensic/ photographer, smuggler). Now that I think about it, I'm surprised he didn't wind up dead. I also liked Subra's pretence of redemption, totally feigned convincingly, so much he fools Kovalski. Which is not so surprising given he fits the profile of the classic psychopath. Emmanuel Carrière in the book that originated the infinitely better "L'Adversaire" (also starring Auteuil) narrates how the true case of a guy who murdered basically all his family, including parents and in laws, even almost got rid of her lover too, all during a long period (not in a fit or rage or something), later in jail converted to extreme religious zeal. Sounds familiar, right? Catherine Marchal does a fine emphatic psychologist. Yes, she's smart and beautiful (her sleek attire and ultra stylish car does help), but doesn't she have the same surname as the director? Oh my. I liked the lighting. All the whites are too white, blinding. "Saturating" or whatever is the jargon for that. I suppose it follows some esthetical motivation, all I can say is it added some mysticism sorely wanting in the film. What I mean is, photography is probably the best this movie has. Even Subra in jail, washing or being put back into prison make you feel trapped, like if you were really there, grey walls, into constant "greyness". Watch this film, don't get me wrong. The ending is worth it. But don't harbour great expectations, and you won't be disappointed. Like most things in life, I guess :). Vengeance Is a Dish Best Served Cold Here's a great rental, so long as you like maudlin French movies. Daniel Auteuil is probably the most versatile French actor in the business, and has comfortably played billionaires, dapper detectives, and in farcical romps. In 'The Last Deadly Mission' he is a drunken detective staggering blearily through horrific crime scenes with the aid of his alcoholic crutch. The plot revolves around the usual batch of serial killer gore, corpses rudely posed, liberal spatterings of the claret, but the characters have far more elan than the standard Hollywoodland murder-fest. Maybe it's the cigarettes, those smoldering European glances veiled in wreathes of smoke sure fill the silences and seem to go rather well with entire bottles of liquor quaffed like ice tea. Well, the drunken de-badged detective succeeds, gets the bad guy, but the movie is far from over. The whole film is based on writer-director Olivier Marchal's experiences as a cop, and it is not until the end where we find out what Auteuil's character is running from, a wife in a coma on a respirator after an automobile accident, none of which we piece together until the closing frames. Interservice cop rivalries are played out with fists, love triangles form and dissolve, and the Chrysler product placement throughout is softened by Auteuil's crusty Volvo. A moody, gritty, French cop drama with a tough, uncompromising ending that also incorporates a beautiful birthing scene and the continuity of a new life.
