May Lead to Pain, Bleeding, Puritus, Discharge, and Enlightenment .......2006-01-18
I've burned through the Sip & Solve Sudoku book, and I felt ready to move on to the Sit & Solve Hard Sudokus. Despite the humorous gimmick of the cover, however, I don't actually work on these puzzles while on the commode. If that was to be my preferred mode of Sudok'ing, I think I would have to return to doing the light and easy puzzles. This is because, and I would be remiss if I didn't point this out, my medical understanding is that sitting on the toilet and straining for excessive periods of time is thought to produce hemorrhoids. I'm not sure if this applies to straining because of constipation or the mental strain of doing a hard sudoku, but I'm not taking any chances. However, should you not heed my warning, I would recommend minimizing the itching and pain of hemorrhoids by avoiding trauma and irritation to the surrounding skin tissue. Avoid excessive use of harsh toilet paper, minimize secondary irritation or dermatitis by avoiding soaps and creams. Just keep the perianal skin clean with water from a shower and try to avoid secondary yeast or parasitic infections. In the event that greater soiling of the anal skin occurs secondary to chronic diarrhea or loose stools, I recommend a non-scented petrolatum gel or hemorrhoidal cream.
All that being said, I love Sudoku, and would gladly suffer the pain and indignity of even a massively prolapsed hemorrhoidal vein if that was the price necessary. Sudoku brings me great joy, fills my belly well, fills my porous head with honey, keeps my spirits high and lemon-scented throughout the day.
Good sudokus, I recommend this book, I would call them medium-hard, nice format for ripping out pages and sneaking them into notebooks for sudok'ing during lectures.
Book Description
Nobody knows puzzles better than master creator Terry Stickels, and that’s why this collection is pure, unmatched fun. Frame Games are favorites in many newspapers, and they challenge solvers to come up with a well-known saying, person, place, or thing. Many offer Visual Puns, almost like rebuses, with a combination of writing and images. The author lives in Fort Worth, TX.

great games.......2007-01-17
I gave this book to my husband as a Christmas stocking stuffer and he loved it! There aren't many books out there like this one, so to find so many clever frame games all in one place was a delight. If you or someone you know likes "brain games" this book will definitely stretch the mind!
Love this book.......2006-01-16
This is the cutest book cover. I always play "Frame Games" in the weekly Sunday paper in the USA Today. I enjoyed it so much, I researched where to find a book of these wonderful games. I actually sent an email to Terry Stickels and got a response a few hours later, referring me to Amazon.com to find his book. I love this book. The book is shaped and looks like a toilet seat. How clever it is. I ordered two books, one to give away and I placed the other one in the guest bathroom. What a conversation piece this is. I love this book and the frame games inside. I visit Terry Stickels web site often. I will probably purchase more of these cute books to give away as gifts in the future.
Just a tad bit of a disapiontment........2005-10-08
The book was just ok.. I wish I had seen it in a book store first... I might not have purchased it.I enjoy the frame games in the week-end news paper inserts and was a little dispointed.I didn't like the odd shape of the book or the way it was set up, with the puzzles and answers. I found the puzzles weren't of the same caliber as those I enjoy weekly.
Great Portable Fun!.......2005-09-28
I just love these puzzles.
Terry Stickels Frame Games have been featured in various newspapers and now 159 are gathered in one place in this volume.
Shaped like a toilet seat (with the back depicting swirling water, presumably after a flush!), this 96-page book is a great way to challenge the mind and pass the time. Its convenient size lends itself nicely for portability--especially in larger purses, briefcases, and diaper bags!
"Frame Games" are pictorial word puzzles. For example, one puzzle features a series of horizontal lines. In bold, the letters NME are at the fore. The answer? "Behind enemy lines".
Some puzzles are pretty easy, but others are real stumpers! There's a few I haven't gotten yet, in fact.
Rather than read this book all the way through, I pick it up every once in awhile just to solve a few puzzles. For example, earlier this evening I was sitting on the porch with my husband and we were trying to figure out some of the frame games.
The answers are on consecutive pages in case you're tempted to peek. I actually wish they were all in the back because it's possible to accidentally see the answers to previous puzzles you may not have solved yet if your eye roams towards the center of the book!
Sit & Solve Frame Games is great fun and would make an exceptional gift or stocking-stuffer for hard-to-buy-for folks who tend to enjoy puzzles.
And hey! you just can't beat the affordability for this much amusement, either.
Signs of Intelligent Life.......2004-09-09
Terry and I go back a few years. We're both in the puzzle biz. Terry never ceases to amaze me with his ability to produce book after book of ingenious, visual and rewarding puzzles. They're like taking a Mensa test ... only a whole lot more fun. And to borrow from a popular potato chip slogan, "you can't solve just one!" So if you order this volume, and I hope you do, don't schedule anything important for the day it arrives in the mail.
Book Description
Travelers cooped up in their seats can at least think out of the box! That’s what logic puzzles demand: at first read, these tough little problems seem to provide barely enough information to find the answer. But look again, use your deductive reasoning to eliminate false possibilities, and you’ll reach a solution. Figure out where each of the three provinces in the kingdom of Farflungus is located—and which of three princes rules it. Join Jasmyn for a planetary shopping spree—and try to discover the order in which she visited four planets, and what she bought. The time will fly by!
Customer Reviews:
disappointing.......2007-03-24
As a logic puzzle fan, this small book was disappointing. It's about the size of your hand, so there is no room for working out any of the problems. It's also not very fun because the problems are pretty easy. I'm still trying to give it away. If you're a logic puzzle fan, stick with the magazine-sized puzzle books.

Great Puzzle Book.......2005-09-20
While they're all fun to solve, the range of difficulties in this book is pretty wide. Some take
< 30 seconds, others I've been thinking about for days. Definitely good for those that love a mental challenge. I've tried 2 other books from this series, and this is the best of those.

There's always an answer.......2004-01-30
This is a brilliant little book that can be used for party games or just to while away the time if you enjoy puzzles. It has something for everyone and apart from the entertainment value I have also found some of the puzzles to be quite educational. What is most fascinating is that although many of the puzzles seem to be impossible to solve there is always an answer. A little gem and an ideal fun gift.
Delightful brain challenger.......2004-01-20
If you are a fan of lateral thinking puzzles, this is a wonderful book you can take anywhere to tantalize your brain.
Lots of fun to try to solve these intriguing challengers! Be a logic detective to come up with a solution. A true delight for fans of all ages who love lateral thinking puzzles!
Lots of oldies, but still a good collection.......2003-12-23
This is a collection of puzzles designed to be solved quickly using only thought. While it is true that for some it may help to construct a diagram or write options down, for most the answer is just a matter of using the right approach. Most of the puzzles are not new, I recognized over fifty percent as having appeared elsewhere. Examples of such puzzles are:
1) If you are in a boat and throw something overboard which immediately sinks, does the boat rise or fall?
2) When in the last 200 years has there been a year that reads the same upside down?
3) A woman has five children and half of them are boys. How is this possible?
4) There are several problems where matches are to be moved.
5) The problem of a three-cornered duel where the odds of each hitting their target are different and the poorest shot shoots first.
6) How to arrange five circular coins so that they all touch each other.
7) If everybody in a family always votes Republican, then how come one person did not last election?
Nevertheless, I read through it with interest, even when I was only checking my memory rather than my wits. Solutions to all puzzles are in the back and there are some real sneaky ones. It is a good book for the beginning puzzle solver, although veterans may not be impressed.

I just love lateral thinking.......2000-06-24
One day my Language Arts teacher said that we would try something fun today. Yeah right I thought, but he read us some lateral thinking puzzles, and I just loved trying to figure them out. I bought this book and read every one, some were hard, and some I could figure out after thinking for about 5 minutes. It is a perfect thing for boredom, and is just fun and interesting. A man was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister, and was perfectly normal. What was going on?
A great Challenge.......2000-06-20
This book is a very big challenge. It is great for rainy days, summer, vacations, trips & etc.

Book Description
The Hamster Revolution is a timely solution to both the widespread problem of email overload as well as most people's inefficient (or nonexistent) systems for categorizing and storing email messages. This book provides the practical steps needed to deal with these problems and become more efficient in our work.

Quick Read Can Make a Diffference in Managing Email.......2007-09-26
Taking cue from The One Minute Manager, Zapp!, Fish! and Who Moved My Cheese?, The Hamster Revolution uses a parable to show how to better manage and organize e-mail and information. The hamster represents people endlessly running on the wheel of e-mail. Right away, I start using concepts from the 90-minute book. Considering I'm an organized person, that says something.
In the story, Harold the Hamster receives a visit from an information coach to help him with e-mail and information management. Harold is a person who turned into a hamster because e-mail and information trapped him on a figurative hamster wheel.
Harold and his coach think aloud as they explore his e-mail habits and inbox to find the problem areas. The banter between the two gives the reader insight into why something doesn't work and how to fix it. Their comments mirror what many of us think when we're drowning in messages. Though cheesy at times, the story quickly explains the how, what, and why without confusing readers with dry writing.
I was eager to discover the secret of COTA, the concept for creating folders named Clients, Output, Teams and Administration. COTA also represents the order of priority. The Clients folder receives top honors on the hierarchy than Output. Administration gets thrown to the bottom of the pile where it belongs. But this concept isn't as foolproof as the authors make it sound.
They state that you won't run into a situation when an email or document belongs in two folders. However, if that should happen -- then the document belongs in the one higher up on the COTA ladder. Furthermore, the system serves departments and teams best.
COTA won't work well for personal use (the authors apparently have another system for this, but information isn't available yet) or a small business like mine where I'm a freelancer working on a computer that houses both business and personal information.
Furthermore, not everyone will know what some things mean such as EOM (end of message) or NRN (no reply needed). These require teaching others and a team setting would adapt to that better than a lone person who must explain it in many individuals. EOM and NRN should become as standard as smilies, but they're far from there.
Some advice might sound common sense or old news to some people, but the authors share lesser known or new concepts. The book has had positive impact on my e-mail habits, and for what it is worth, that opinion comes from a long-time e-mail user (the days of BBSes -- pre-Internet).
Great new tips for email.......2007-06-20
Purchased the audio tape for the car. Easy listening and great tips on productivity for managing email overload. Makes you think before you send an email, sculpt it, use categories for easier identification/prioritization and shows new system for filing and finding anything anytime. It worked for me and can warmly recommend to everybody! Join the Hamster Revolution!
I want my 90 minutes back........2007-06-13
If you have any system of organizing your email already in place, don't bother reading this book.
First of all, this book is written in a "For Complete Morons" "Who Moved My Cheese?" style which I found to be a complete turn-off.
The first half of the book tells you what's wrong with your email style, which is news only to those that don't know how to conduct business communication in the first place. "Is the content of your email appropriate and professional?" I should hope so. Then it goes on to say you should convert your coworkers to the wonderful time-saving methodologies you've learned in this book, and direct them to the book web site. Any student of human nature can tell you, you can't really force anyone to do anything they don't want to do, you can only set an example and hope that they want to emulate it. If you are the boss, I suppose you can order people to follow the guidelines in this book, but otherwise it suggests giving your peers critiques of what's wrong with the email they've been sending you, a technique that's sure to make you near and dear to their hearts.
The second half of the book, which I eagerly anticipated, makes suggestions, then breaks its own rules, resulting in a confusing set of directions that aren't ultimately very useful. For example, the book states that you should be able to sort any email you receive into one folder, without wasting time deliberating over the decision between folders. You are supposed to organize your emails into Clients, Output, Teams, and Admin folders. If something falls into two folders, for example, some Output for a Client, it goes into the first folder in the COTA order-- the Client folder. But when would you ever create output that doesn't have a Client? And Clients in this case includes external AND internal customers. If your organization has a lot of output that isn't created FOR anybody, you have bigger problems than email.
Some of the other suggestions are obvious but presented as epiphany, such as, use subfolders within the COTA folders. Has it ever occurred to you that you could use email subfolders? Does your organization already use instant messaging for asynchronous messages? Guess what, you don't need this book.
In a FAQ at the end of the book, there is a tip that was not new to me, but which has worked for me. Turn off your email notifications (popups, sounds, etc.) and check your email about twice a day for a dedicated block of time. Otherwise every time you receive an email, you are interrupted from your flow of work.
What will happen with email? It is indeed a growing problem, I can't argue with that. I hope that Outlook develops better search technology, like that embedded in GMail. If you are one of the many Outlook users, you know that when your folders reach a certain size, an advanced search can take 15 minutes or more. However, creating a new folder structure isn't likely to do much for you, except cost you the time it takes to reorganize all of your mail.
A must-read for everyone who uses email.......2007-05-28
Getting overloaded with emails over the last 3-4 years. So decided to buy some books on the subject to improve. Bought 3 books from Amazon - Emails, Conquer Your Email Overload and Hamster Revolution. Find Hamster Revolution the best. I can see Hamster in me with over 500 emails in my in-box and having problems in relocating some of the infor later. This book is NOT about how to use Outlook. What I like is the story-telling method the authors used to bring across, otherwise a dry and technical subject, with interesting, lively and useful ideas. Strategy 1 is an eye opener for me. So simple and yet so useful ! Find it so enlightening and useful that I am thinking of asking the company to engage them for an in-house workshop ! Well done, guys !
It's a parable for a practical email management course which really works.......2007-05-19
If email is demanding more and more of your business time, it's time to take in THE HAMSTER REVOLUTION, which tells of an HR director who meets an efficiency coach and learns a simple management system. It's a parable for a practical email management course which really works, includes a case study showing how over 2,000 Capital One associates cut their email time by 23 percent, and tells how to add quality into email management strategy for optimum results. Busy managers in particular will relish its advice, making THE HAMSTER REVOLUTION especially recommended for business libraries.

We all might manage our time better if we could get everything done in as little time as it takes to digest this nifty, palm-size, 72-page quick-reference guide. Everything is covered here in a kind of how-to shorthand, from analyzing your current use of time, working out priorities, and using time planners to making instant changes (like filing paperwork, avoiding interruptions, "filtering" information, making and taking telephone calls, and reading and writing) and managing other people's time when you're the one in charge. You'll get jiffy-quick advice on using the latest technology to do more in less time, getting more out of your meeting minutes, and even remembering how to schedule time off. On every page, boxed tips, lively illustrations, and handy checklists and flow charts bring the ideas to life. Granted, if you're looking for very specific or in-depth guidance, you might find this book too cursory and general in its approach. But, if you're looking for a thumbnail guide to the basics, it'll do just fine.
It's worth mentioning that the book is part of the "Essential Managers" series by reference publisher Dorling-Kindersley--a series comprising 20 itty-bitty books on business and career topics that range from communication, leadership, and decision-making to the management of time, budgets, change, meetings, people, projects, and teams. Combining the talent of the "For Dummies" book series for breaking down a lot of information into bite-sized bits and sidebars with Dorling-Kindersley's signature design style of crisp, classy graphics on a gleaming white backdrop, the books don't represent the cutting edge of business thinking or reflect necessarily any unique individual perspective. Instead, it's as if someone had collated the best general thinking on these 20 topics, and rolled them out into 72 brightly designed and easy-to-read pages--studded along the way with boxed tips, color shots of a multiracial cast of "coworkers" animatedly hashing through the workplace issues of the day, and, on the last few pages of each volume, a self-test of one's skills in the topic at hand. Again, they're not for anyone who's looking for more in-depth or focused help on any of the covered subjects, but they're perfect as a quick general-interest reference; and, let's face it, they're so damn cute, and look so smart in a neat little stack or row, that probably you'll want to buy a whole bunch to give as gifts to your entire staff or department. --Timothy Murphy

No gadget, no illustration, no gimmick. Pure know-how.......2000-05-20
Merrill and Donna are in the "time management business". Because they work in Grandville (Michigan - USA) I was quite interested. Grandville is the closest harbor to my birth place. It was also Christian Dior birthplace and childhood paradise. This would not be enough to give 4 stars to this book. In fact, even if this book looks boring to me. Very classical typography, layout. No illustration. Despite of all these drawbacks professional experience of Merrill and Donna are very helpful and clearly distilled in this book. Buy it with Outlook 2000 software.
A Terrific Book!.......1999-12-17
I actually read this in 1995, but I've recommended it to so many people over the years that I thought I should give it an endorsement here. It completely transformed the way I work. If you want to become organized, efficient, and productive, get, read, and, most important, USE this book!

Great, cheap guide for students on getting organized.......2002-10-08
I've had this book for so long that I can't even remember anymore where I originally bought it. Ron Fry's books are easy-to-read and no-nonsense, which is great because this is a subject you don't want to have to waste a lot of time reading about!
He gives great ideas for getting organized for the semester, which is something I always had a problem with, and he also gives advice for students of all ages.
I also recommend his "How to Study" book, and for getting organized in general, Deniece Schofield's (sp?) "Confessions of An Organized Homemaker". No more putting off homework because your study area/house/life is too cluttered and distracting!
