international building code 2003 3 ring binder.......2007-03-16

The IBC more than just another building code.......2006-03-22
The IBC is the long-time-coming consolidation of the three major building codes in the US and there is nothing "international" about it. Back in the 70's the 3 code organizations formed BOCA and put out a 1 & 2 family dwelling code. The 3 members them gradually made changes to the individual building codes that brought them into similar formats, then they combined them into one code in 2000, the IBC, and modified the dwelling code to be the IRC (Int. Residential Code)and changed the organization's name to the ICC, the Int. Code Council. There little to review about the content since it is either the law in your area or it is not. For comparisons to previous codes and other information try the ICC's website http://www.iccsafe.org/
A Strucural Engineer's Necessity.......2005-09-06
It is pretty difficult to review a specification that you must have.
49 states are now adopting this Code.......2003-09-07
Better learn this code. Local codes are being swept away by one standard. Here is Colorado each town had its own test, amendments and licensing system. California is the only state, having revamped its code 2 years ago, to keep its system.
I finish basements, often for homeowners who think they can do it. From Loveland, I can work any city without irate inspectors wondering why I don't know their specific requirements. Good book.
Book Description
The 2007 edition of the most authoritative guide to professional baseball
America's favorite pastime has never been more popular and, for over a decade, Baseball Prospectus has been the ultimate guide to the game for fantasy players, professionals, and casual fans alike. Baseball Prospectus 2007 continues that tradition, bringing together the top young baseball writers and analysts in the business to provide a definitive look at the season to come. Featuring humorous and incisive essays on all thirty teams and an in-depth look at every major league player and all the top prospects, Baseball Prospectus 2007 offers the cutting-edge analysis that has inspired nearly every major league team to seek the advice of current or former Prospectus writers. Also included are projections of player stats for next year, as determined by the groundbreaking PECOTA system, which Sports Illustrated has called “perhaps the game's most accurate projection model.” The most authoritative and entertaining book of its kind, Baseball Prospectus 2007 is as essential to the baseball- watching experience as hot dogs and cold beer.

The best.......2007-08-16
For fantasy baseball players, especially those in keeper leagues, there is nothing better. If there's nothing better, why only four stars? Because the "deadly accurate" PECOTA evaluations, though probably at least a little better than most forecasting models, can still be completely off target. No guide will be "deadly accurate."
The best feature is the extent to which this guide covers top minor leaguers. And they also translate stats from the minor leagues, (including the Mexican league), and to some extent from the Japanese league.
Another great feature is the extended review they give to each front office in the majors during the previous year. Here, the criticism really is, almost always, "deadly accurate."
Baseball Prospectus 2007.......2007-06-11
The latest in a long series of insightful, analytical reviews of major league baseball players and teams utilizing statistical analysis and other analytical techniques (e.g., econometrics). New for the 2007 edition is an analytical review of the 2006 manager for each team. Baseball Prospectus is the essential baseball reference.
Wealth of info for baseball fans........2007-05-29
This book must be kept near the TV for ready reference on all Major League players.
Another great title from Baseball Prospectus.......2007-05-07
Baseball Prospectus is the gold standard for baseball analysis. The stats are helpful, but I am especially enamored of the PECOTA projection system. This edition is much less plagued by typos than previous editions have been.
Great Info, Easy Access.......2007-04-14
Awesome information, but should include win/loss predictions for each team. Player info is in-depth. A baseball/stats fan's dream come true.

Wow!.......2007-08-23
I bought this just to see all the awesome watches out there. Some of these are in the hundred thousands. Wow. Great pictures and company info. If you enjoy watches in the least you must own this catalog its huge and has hundreds of pictures of watches you will never own, unless you have a few hundred thousand sitting around.
Wristwatch Annual 2007 review.......2007-08-09
Great pictures, a must for any watch enthusiast. Side note. Some of the actual specifications are not accurate.
If I only had the money........!!.......2007-07-05
The photography alone of these world class timepieces brings out the male urge to splurge. It's like being a kid in a candy store, you want one of everything! I've read the '05 and '06 editions and this one does not disappoint. Nice feature: a guide to the pronunciation of all those Swiss, German and French names. Even if you don't speak any of those languages you can say the names like a native. Any watch aficionado will spend many delightful hours soaking up all the facts, figures and history presented here.
Great book for the WIS.......2007-06-14
I really like the format, usually get the new one when it's released.
Buyers guide for horologists.......2007-06-06
Informative book on horology. I will definitely buy this every year.

Includes some great quick options.......2007-07-15
I agree with other reviewers that the organization can be frustrating, but I still think this is an excellent cookbook. It includes a range of recipes from the complex to the relatively simple. This particular edition of the Cooking Light series includes a segment on how to help a family organize their kitchen and make some quick weeknight meals. Personally, I am particularly a fan of the quicker recipes, and every one I have tried has been a huge hit with my family -- even my 2 year old.
An outstanding collection........2007-04-19

The 2007 annual collection of COOKING LIGHT ANNUAL RECIPES is packed with over a thousand of such recipes, including 100 meal plans with dishes which include the latest cooking techniques and conveniences.

An outstanding collection.

Best Cookbook!.......2007-03-09
This is my favorite cookbook, I use it all the time, and haven't found a bad recipe yet!
A mixed blessing.......2007-03-08
Been a subscriber to the magazine for years and look forward to each new issue. When I'm looking for inspiration for the week's menus, the first book I turn to is my "Complete Cooking Light Cookbook." The recipes, whether I'm getting them from the book or the magazine, have always led to a good result and many have become family favorites.
Having said that, I have to agree with alphagirl about the weird organization of this book. Organized by the *month in which the recipe was published*? Jumpin' jiminy. Most people can't remember which month they last took their car in for an oil change, let alone which month's issue of a magazine had a fabulous recipe for 'Uber Tubers'. It's driving me nuts that I can browse through one section that contains all the fish dishes, for example. Like alphagirl, I find it obnoxious to have to keep flipping back and forth between 'fish' in the general the index and the recipes.
Huge ding on overall star rating: there is no way to tell from any of the indexes (and there are several, to help overcome the problems caused by organizing the book according to magazine issue) which recipes are vegetarian friendly, which is a mandatory feature for any multi-purpose cookbook in our 2-omnivore/1 vegetarian household.
I understand the point of keeping related recipes together, such as presenting together every recipe from a cooking lesson article, regardless of the dish type. However, because people don't march into the kitchen and cook their way from start to finish through any one of the 'cooking lessons', wouldn't it make more sense to organize the book traditionally, then have smaller chapters/sections for each cooking lesson, which can reference the recipes already provided in the 'beef' or 'soups' sections? That way I can go bone-up on my beef cooking skills by reading the advice and technique information, then tackle any of the beef recipes in the rest of the book with absolute confidence.
I will continue to buy each edition of the fabulous 'Complete Cooking Light Cookbook' while the ink is still wet from printing, but I have purchased my first and last of the annual recipe collections unless they do something about the book's organization.
A Year of Health and Nutrition.......2007-03-05
I don't believe that there's a legitimate food recommender out there who doesn't suggest that we would all be better off if we hade thing that are lighter than the normal American diet. One response to this was the start up of 'Cooking light' magazine. From now where, this magazine has grown with spactular success. The magazine has a collection of recipies centered around cooking light.
Now a year's supply of how to cook everything you can imagine in a lighter, healthier way but with recipies that have been 'kitchen tested' for accuracy and taste. It's straight from the pages of the magazine.
And that makes for one of the strengths causes one of the problems with the book. It's a strength because the issues of the magazine are organized around something such as: menus for a week for a family of two. It's a weakness because if you're trying to find all of the salads, they aren't found together.
All in all, here's a thousand recipies, with an emphasis on healthy, lighter eating.

The book was purchased in CD rom form. There is key word searches for specific items. Every builder needing a permit to start constuction should know this book well. Another company that puts out a similar book is called Boca. They supliment and overlap the UBC. Both are handy, but very over priced.

Yummy and healthy!.......2004-06-05
I've been a subscriber of Cooking Light for several years now, and I always try to buy the annual cook book at the end of each year. These recipes produce dishes that are delicious, adventurous, and satisfying. I've not only learned alot about eating healthy foods by using these cookbooks, I've become a much better cook! Also, since the magazine has features on different ethnic cuisines, I've tried foods that I never would have made previously, with great success. Some of the recipes are more time-consuming than others, so make those on the weekend rather than during the week.
Unlike other reviewers, I enjoy the recipes organized by month, because it helps me eat seasonally. That way, I buy produce that's in season, so it tastes better, and it's usually cheaper than buying products out of season. However, if one is looking for a specific recipe, consulting the index at the back of the cookbook provides a solution.
Lots of wonderful recipes, long prep time.......2004-02-22
I've been a subscriber to Cooking Light magazine for a couple of years and I love it. I decided to get the 2003 book to save some space. The photographs in the book are beautiful and mouth-watering, but there are not enough (I like to see what the final product looks like when I am cooking). I do like that the nutritional information including calories, fat, protein, carb, fiber are listed for each recipe. I do find that many of the recipes have a long prep time and this a deterrent for me at this busy stage in my life. For the "true" chef, though, there will be no problem and the recipes will be wonderful to make. Generally, the ingredients are readily available, but for some of the recipes, there are ingredients that I have no idea where to buy them. The book is organzied by month--like the magazine. Really, overall, a beautiful book.
total confusion.......2004-01-19
While there is a whole years worth of recipes in one book it will probably take a year to find a particular recipe. The index is very confusing. Cooks will just end up frustrated.
Cooking Light needs help.......2003-10-08
This(and other Cooking Light books)definately need a better way to organize the recipes. The book doesn't even follow the order of the monthly magazines recipes. It is severely lacking in photographs. Most of the beautiful photos from the magazines are not used in the cookbook. The photos would be helpful in selecting recipes...especially because the book is not organized by food category. The recipes might be great, but who has 2 hours to search through a cookbook to find something to cook??
Full of good, practical recipies.......2003-03-01
I own a lot of cookbooks... but I've never had one quite like this. This is the first cookbook where I look through the recipies, and think "Hey - I should make that some time" for most of the recipies. Other cookbooks seem to be literally filled with recipies that either don't look any good, or require exotic ingredients only availble to people in major metropolitan centers.
With this cookbook, however, I flip through the pages wishing i had time to make almost all of the 900 recipies. I've made about 20 things out of this book now, and have enjoyed almost all of them a lot.
Pros:
- Contains a good, detailed introduction for the novice cook, including information on herbs, cooking methods, etc.
- Contains almost 900 recipies that you can actually make and enjoy.
- Has recipies from almost every category - breads, meats, desserts, soups, etc.
- I totally disagree with the person who said the layout is lousy . I've never had trouble finding anything in this book.
- The recipies, while not being extremely low fat, *are* from cooking light, and hence are healthier in general than most other cookbooks. Plus, the recipies don't ever seem to sacrifice flavor for a *light* rating.
Cons:
- You'll spend longer in the kitchen trying to make more of these
Sorry - I don't really have a good con for this book :)
If you love too cook - you'll love this book!
