Sexy is as sexy does, according to Sari Locker (called "our favorite tantalizing sex writer" by Playboy magazine). But how to feel sexy if you're a virgin, or if you've experienced sexual problems, or have serious body image hang-ups? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex succeeds in not only teaching technique (as well as a book can), but also offers serious advice for boosting your self-esteem. As with other Complete Idiot guides, you'll probably want to turn this one backwards in your bookcase, or at least get a book cover for it. But get past the silly title and you'll find a plethora of facts, tips, and tricks on topics including sexual response, masturbation, foreplay, afterplay, oral sex, fantasy, sex toys, sexual preference, cross-dressing, and "The Big Om": tantric sex.
The margin notes liberally decorating the book are worth a hearty chuckle. The "Sextistics" are particularly fun and eye-opening. Some examples: only 9 percent of people surveyed believe sex appeal is innate; the rest feel it can be acquired!; about 7 percent of women have never climaxed; the majority of male crossdressers are married with children; and, according to the Hite Report, nearly 60 percent of men ages 61 to 75 said their desire for sex remained steady or increased with age, Viagra or no. Locker, a sex educator and WCBS-TV relationship correspondent, has been a sex educator for more than a decade. That said, she should have placed the facts on contraceptives and sexually transmitted diseases earlier in the book, before the hot and heavy photographs of sexual positions. That gripe aside, Amazing Sex is worth investigating by both sexual neophytes and experienced couples looking to maintain a state of hot monogamy. |

I have seen other books on this topic and found this one to contain better information. There is information in here that is good for beginners and those who have been going at it for years. I also recommend Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra

This is a great book for new comers, or for people that need to spice up their sex life! My husband and I have tried many different things to spice up our own sex life, not only books but also enhancement products. These are some products we have tried vicerex, viapro + maxoderm Vivaxa, Zencore Plus, maxidus. They are very good product. But By far,Double V - Vazogel & Virectin Sex Enhancement COMBO is edible, orgasm-inducing, all-natural, ionized water-based gel for him and her, and 12 pills bottle that works very instantly as well. It is very powerful combination compare just pills itself alone. This is the best we have ever used. Awsome! You got to try it out for yourself.

The Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex is a double-edged sword because it may show you kinky techniques you may not have been privy to before, but it confirms your disrepute as being sexually inexperienced, still too "innocent" for these over-sexualized times we live in, which isn't necessarily disadvantageous. Upon reading this book, the conscientious reader has to intellectually honestly ask himself/herself some questions.
1) Since copulation is natural, why do I need instructions/advice on how to "do it?" Am I just afraid of sex or am I retarded? 2) Why do I require p*rverse and abnormal "techniques" to "spice up" sex and keep me interested? Am I a sexual deviant? Do I obligatorily need higher levels of unconventional sex to satisfy my bent character? 3) Why don't I realize my lustful craving for more deviant forms of sex is ultimately the impediment to forming real, lasting relationships with the opposite sex? If you've the guts to ask one of these queries, congratulations!!!! You've already gone a ways to confessing you've psychological, moral and spiritual problems for chasing after the "knowledge" within Amazing Sex. Locker's libertine/lecher ideology is endorsed in Chapter 1 where she unaccountably raises the risks of teen pregnancy by writing ANYONE is ready for sex if they merely think (that's right, subjectively T-H-I-N-K) they can handle its consequences. According to Locker, these include knowing what to do if one contracts an STD or becomes pregnant. So, in the untrustworthy minds of impressionable teenagers, if they think they're "adult" enough to hypothesize what they'd do in case of the aforementioned, this makes them "ready" to surrender their God-given gift of virginity/purity--instead of saving themselves for marriage!!!! Locker's frivolous advice focusing on the ideology of "If it feels good, do it!!!!!" also arrives at questionable contradictions, like when she advises one's ready for sex if one's emotionally responsible for the consequences, yet then in the next "advice," she writes one's also "ready" if one's able to handle contracting STDs or unwanted pregnancies. It goes without saying that one's egregiously unprepared for sex if one contracts an STD or curses a baby by monstrously creating an unwanted pregnancy. Locker's trivial advice is further verified through sex-coupons she coquettishly encourages. These coupons obviously are for the idiot couple who aren't attracted enough physically to each other for sex; that's why they need these gimmicks to get off. These sophomoric coupons offer all kinds of lewd abominations like "quickies," phone sex, nature sex and the delusion known as role-playing. All these coupons offer misguidedly aberrant sex that only encourages unnaturalness. Appallingly shocking is the graphic, hardcore use of p*rnography in the book, masquerading as advice. In the middle, there are a few, explicit photos showing a couple (who probably AREN'T even married!!!!) in various, "alternative" positions. To the liberal Locker, just having sex in the good, old-fashioned and most normal missionary position--so-called due to the woman's leg-position, for all you newbie libs--is booooring! So, she delinquently proposes these utterly twisted positions called the "Wheelbarrow" (man enters woman from behind while lifting pelvis in air as legs curl around his back while her hands are on ground); the "Crab" (woman lowers herself onto man's erect member with back to him and feet straddling his legs); and the "Butterfly" (woman spreads legs while arms are flailing as man kneels and penetrates from front). For my money, my personal faves in Locker's photos are the "Gang-Bang" (several guys emotionlessly take turns on woman), the "Cleveland Steamer" (woman defecates on man's face), and the "Menage-a-Trois" (everyone involved leaves feeling unfulfilled). As distressing is Locker's write-up on the hand-job (for you newbie-libs: stimulating the member with a hand!) because she indecently recommends couples employ that casually on a plane, at the movies, or even behind a desk at work!!!! One certainly CANNOT employ this libertine technique so liberally in public; this would be illicit. Dilapidating from the topic of the hand-job comes mutual masturbati*n, which is--again, for newbie libs!--both partners using hands on each other. Locker purports this will result in simultaneous orgasm, voyeurism/exhibitionism, and a more intimate understanding of your partner's response. Her "advice" is impractical, so don't listen to her. Getting somebody off through a hand-job is hard enough. Mutual masturb*tion will only complicate things because you'll have to focus on two things simultaneously: orgasming and pleasing your partner. Amazing Sex is a cheaply veiled excuse to let one's inner libertine run wild: it's filled with all the taboo tips that'd tantalize and serve as wet dreams for the pubescent boy demographic. In this context, Amazing Sex is both censurable and disappointing--seeing how it's supposedly written by the PHD-holding Locker--because it subserves the lowest common denominator on the sex topic: basest animal desires. Instead of impressing the reader with knowledge becoming a PHD-holding sex "expert" (like, say, healthy sexual behavior), Locker espouses the most uninhibited, liberal ideology of "If it feels good, do it!!!!"

I had a ball with this book. I'm 82 years old, only engage in sex very occasionally, and intend to make use of a few of the suggestions as the opportunities occur. It is a great book, and in the words of a British Comedienne, "I am unanimus in this".

This is a great book for virgins and beginners. It runs the gamut of sex information from self-pleasuring to couples' sex to kinky sex. There was so much information, it was overwhelming. I bought it because I wanted to learn more about how to pleasure my man through fellatio. This book was very helpful, but ultimately, I found Was that an earthquake? The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex to be more so. It is a flip over book, which means one side is devoted to fellatio, then flip it over and the second book is everything you need to know about cunnilingus. I read the first book, then gave it to my boyfriend, and he read the second book, and when we put it all together, sparks flew!

This book is awesome, with great pictures and up to date info on Viagra, birth control and safe sex. I loved the information on oral sex. It is a real eye-opener, providing insight for each partner. I recommend this book for any couple interested in improving their relationship, sexually and otherwise. If you aren't having problems, don't wait to read the book. Be proactive in preventing problems later.
An excellent companion book is SEISMIC ORAL SEX. That's not the full title, but you can find it from the search term. Re-introducing oral sex into our marriage has helped both of us. The language is clear and forthright, the tone is light and helpful and the technical aspects are fully covered. It's a guide for couples, with fellatio on one side and cunnilingus on the other. The tips and ideas really helped my marriage and it's in a cute flip over format. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-05-21 01:32:59 EST)

The Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex is a double-edged sword because it may show you kinky techniques you may not have been privy to before, but it confirms your disrepute as being sexually inexperienced, still too "innocent" for these over-sexualized times we live in, which isn't necessarily disadvantageous. Upon reading this book, the conscientious reader has to intellectually honestly ask himself/herself some questions.
1) Since copulation is natural, why do I need instructions/advice on how to "do it?" Am I just afraid of sex or am I retarded? 2) Why do I require p*rverse and abnormal "techniques" to "spice up" sex and keep me interested? Am I a sexual deviant? Do I obligatorily need higher levels of unconventional sex to satisfy my bent character? 3) Why don't I realize my lustful craving for more deviant forms of sex is ultimately the impediment to forming real, lasting relationships with the opposite sex? If you've the guts to ask one of these queries, congratulations!!!! You've already gone a ways to confessing you've psychological, moral and spiritual problems for chasing after the "knowledge" within Amazing Sex. Locker's libertine/lecher ideology is endorsed in Chapter 1 where she unaccountably raises the risks of teen pregnancy by writing ANYONE is ready for sex if they merely think (that's right, subjectively T-H-I-N-K) they can handle its consequences. According to Locker, these include knowing what to do if one contracts an STD or becomes pregnant. So, in the untrustworthy minds of impressionable teenagers, if they think they're "adult" enough to hypothesize what they'd do in case of the aforementioned, this makes them "ready" to surrender their God-given gift of virginity/purity--instead of saving themselves for marriage!!!! Locker's frivolous advice focusing on the ideology of "If it feels good, do it!!!!!" also arrives at questionable contradictions, like when she advises one's ready for sex if one's emotionally responsible for the consequences, yet then in the next "advice," she writes one's also "ready" if one's able to handle contracting STDs or unwanted pregnancies. It goes without saying that one's egregiously unprepared for sex if one contracts an STD or curses a baby by monstrously creating an unwanted pregnancy. Locker's trivial advice is further verified through sex-coupons she coquettishly encourages. These coupons obviously are for the idiot couple who aren't attracted enough physically to each other for sex; that's why they need these gimmicks to get off. These sophomoric coupons offer all kinds of lewd abominations like "quickies," phone sex, nature sex and the delusion known as role-playing. All these coupons offer misguidedly aberrant sex that only encourages unnaturalness. Appallingly shocking is the graphic, hardcore use of p*rnography in the book, masquerading as advice. In the middle, there are a few, explicit photos showing a couple (who probably AREN'T even married!!!!) in various, "alternative" positions. To the liberal Locker, just having sex in the good, old-fashioned and most normal missionary position--so-called due to the woman's leg-position, for all you newbie libs--is booooring! So, she delinquently proposes these utterly twisted positions called the "Wheelbarrow" (man enters woman from behind while lifting pelvis in air as legs curl around his back while her hands are on ground); the "Crab" (woman lowers herself onto man's erect member with back to him and feet straddling his legs); and the "Butterfly" (woman spreads legs while arms are flailing as man kneels and penetrates from front). For my money, my personal faves in Locker's photos are the "Gang-Bang" (several guys emotionlessly take turns on woman), the "Cleveland Steamer" (woman defecates on man's face), and the "Menage-a-Trois" (everyone involved leaves feeling unfulfilled). As distressing is Locker's write-up on the hand-job (for you newbie-libs: stimulating the member with a hand!) because she indecently recommends couples employ that casually on a plane, at the movies, or even behind a desk at work!!!! One certainly CANNOT employ this libertine technique so liberally in public; this would be illicit. Dilapidating from the topic of the hand-job comes mutual masturbati*n, which is--again, for newbie libs!--both partners using hands on each other. Locker purports this will result in simultaneous orgasm, voyeurism/exhibitionism, and a more intimate understanding of your partner's response. Her "advice" is impractical, so don't listen to her. Getting somebody off through a hand-job is hard enough. Mutual masturb*tion will only complicate things because you'll have to focus on two things simultaneously: orgasming and pleasing your partner. Amazing Sex is a cheaply veiled excuse to let one's inner libertine run wild: it's filled with all the taboo tips that'd tantalize and serve as wet dreams for the pubescent boy demographic. In this context, Amazing Sex is both censurable and disappointing--seeing how it's supposedly written by the PHD-holding Locker--because it subserves the lowest common denominator on the sex topic: basest animal desires. Instead of impressing the reader with knowledge becoming a PHD-holding sex "expert" (like, say, healthy sexual behavior), Locker espouses the most uninhibited, liberal ideology of "If it feels good, do it!!!!"

This book is more interested in convincing us that alternative lifestyles and fetishes are normal than in providing useful advice to normal couples. If you're thirteen years old and have never had sex, you might pick up a few basic tips. But don't buy this book thinking that you will find anything that will improve an ongoing relationship. What little advice is offered is vague and general, like "learn to communicate" or "listen to your partner". Mostly a total yawnfest, and waste of time.

OK, the title may strike you as weird. I certainly thought: "Why do I want an IDIOT's guide to sex??" But, in reading through the book, you quickly realize that this isn't a book for idiots. It's actually a great reference on how to heat up your sex life. I've been looking for new ways to keep my sex life interesting and fresh and this book gave me lots of great ideas. I was also interested in learning about tantric sex and the author, Sari Locker, gives a succinct introduction to the subject. Overall, I think this is a good book that could be very helpful to couples who just want to spice things up a bit! Additional book I found very helpful and valuable is The Master's Guide to Cunnilingus: How to Perform Successful Oral Sex and Provide the Highest Degree of Pleasure Possible

This is the best sex guide to hit the shelves. Its relaxed feel makes sex sound like a fun thing to do rather than a chore. It doesn't just deal with sex and foreplay but myths, beliefs, finding a compatible partner, communication, sexual confidence, being gay, sex and pregnancy and, vitally important, sexual health.

I read a good deal of it, and I can't say I learned much, but it is a great book for beginners. I also recommend a real Kamasutra Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra

This is an excellent guide for the teenager or someone who just starts (or plans to start) their sexual life. Gives you all the basic information , very clear and detailed , but if you are looking for something more sophisticated buy the sex guide. Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra

This reads more like a mildly humorous sex-ed text book. If you're looking for scintillating tips to add something "amazing" to your sex life, this isn't the book you're looking for... In the publishers blurb, they mention that author Sari was chosen as a top Playboy writer; I'm guessing those who voted for her with that as the category weren't reading the magazine for the articles.

This book is absolutely awesome. IT got me in the mood and kept me in the mood. Yeah! At last I found a book that is perfect for me. There's a lot of stuff in it that I didn't know (sex and attraction and positions and seduction), so I know that I will be learning from it. The photos are all in COLOR, and are tasteful, and the couple is nice looking. The text is hot and helpful. It is at an advanced level of sex information as sex books go, and has background information that is always needed, too. I absolutely recommend it!

Excellent, down to earth, intelligent, and also fun and sexy. This will help you spice up or revitialize your sex life. Contains much advanced information about sexual technique that is for adults only. The book has many sex ideas about locations, positions, games and role plays, yet it even has information about how to do sex therapy techniques, such as how a man can delay his premature ejaculation, and how a woman can have an orgasm if she has never had one -- and more. It also has all the basic stuff you'd ever need like about birth control and sexual health and about sex during pregnancy. Great resource and great instruction. It is a HUGE book at almost 500 pages, and seems to contain every topic about sex that you can think of. I know it surprised me with the number of things it covers, and surpassed my expectations. Not only does THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO AMAZING SEX give excellent advice on all sex problems but it gives you so many great sex techniques to try. My confidence in bed has been low, but this book has helped. I am not a novice, and it also helped me think of more creative things. You can't go wrong with this book. Easy and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend it. I wanted to note that you should be sure that you buy the the 3rd Edition, because the Third Edition has an insert pages with color photos. (The older editions have only black and white photos.) You know it is great book when it keeps coming out in new editions. I recommend this guide to people who know a lot about sex as well as those who want to learn. I absolutely love it and recommend it.. whether you are a complete idiot or not!

The Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex is a double-edged sword because it may show you kinky techniques you may not have been privy to before, but it confirms your disrepute as being sexually inexperienced, still too "innocent" for these over-sexualized times we live in, which isn't necessarily disadvantageous. Upon reading this book, the conscientious reader has to intellectually honestly ask himself/herself some questions.
1) Since copulation is natural, why do I need instructions/advice on how to "do it?" Am I just afraid of sex or am I retarded? 2) Why do I require perverse and abnormal "techniques" to "spice up" sex and keep me interested? Am I a sexual deviant? Do I obligatorily need higher levels of unconventional sex to satisfy my bent character? 3) Why don't I realize my lustful craving for more deviant forms of sex is ultimately the impediment to forming real, lasting relationships with the opposite sex? If you've the guts to ask one of these queries, congratulations!!!! You've already gone a ways to confessing you've psychological, moral and spiritual problems for chasing after the "knowledge" within Amazing Sex.

According to Locker, these include knowing what to do if one contracts an STD or becomes pregnant. So, in the untrustworthy minds of impressionable teenagers, if they think they're "adult" enough to hypothesize what they'd do in case of the aforementioned, this makes them "ready" to surrender their God-given gift of virginity/purity--instead of saving themselves for marriage!!!! Locker's frivolous advice focusing on the ideology of "If it feels good, do it!!!!!" also arrives at questionable contradictions, like when she advises one's ready for sex if one's emotionally responsible for the consequences, yet then in the next "advice," she writes one's also "ready" if one's able to handle contracting STDs or unwanted pregnancies. It goes without saying that one's egregiously unprepared for sex if one contracts an STD or curses a baby by monstrously creating an unwanted pregnancy. Locker's trivial advice is further verified through sex-coupons she coquettishly encourages. These coupons obviously are for the idiot couple who aren't attracted enough physically to each other for sex; that's why they need these gimmicks to get off. These sophomoric coupons offer all kinds of lewd abominations like "quickies," phone sex, nature sex and the delusion known as role-playing. All these coupons offer misguidedly aberrant sex that only encourages unnaturalness. Appallingly shocking is the graphic, hardcore use of pornography in the book, masquerading as advice. In the middle, there are a few, explicit photos showing a couple (who probably AREN'T even married!!!!) in various, "alternative" positions. To the liberal Locker, just having sex in the good, old-fashioned and most normal missionary position--so-called due to the woman's leg-position, for all you newbie libs--is booooring! So, she delinquently proposes these utterly twisted positions called the "Wheelbarrow" (man enters woman from behind while lifting pelvis in air as legs curl around his back while her hands are on ground); the "Crab" (woman lowers herself onto man's erect member with back to him and feet straddling his legs); and the "Butterfly" (woman spreads legs while arms are flailing as man kneels and penetrates from front). For my money, my personal faves in Locker's photos are the "Gang-Bang" (several guys emotionlessly take turns on woman), the "Cleveland Steamer" (woman defecates on man's face), and the "Menage-a-Trois" (everyone involved leaves feeling unfulfilled). As distressing is Locker's write-up on the hand-job (for you newbie-libs: stimulating the member with a hand!) because she indecently recommends couples employ that casually on a plane, at the movies, or even behind a desk at work!!!! One certainly CANNOT employ this libertine technique so liberally in public; this would be illicit. Dilapidating from the topic of the hand-job comes mutual masturbation, which is--again, for newbie libs!--both partners using hands on each other. Locker purports this will result in simultaneous orgasm, voyeurism/exhibitionism, and a more intimate understanding of your partner's response. Her "advice" is impractical, so don't listen to her. Getting somebody off through a hand-job is hard enough. Mutual masturbation will only complicate things because you'll have to focus on two things simultaneously: orgasming and pleasing your partner. Amazing Sex is a cheaply veiled excuse to let one's inner libertine run wild: it's filled with all the taboo tips that'd tantalize and serve as wet dreams for the pubescent boy demographic. In this context, Amazing Sex is both censurable and disappointing--seeing how it's supposedly written by the PHD-holding Locker--because it subserves the lowest common denominator on the sex topic: basest animal desires. Instead of impressing the reader with knowledge becoming a PHD-holding sex "expert" (like, say, healthy sexual behavior), Locker espouses the most uninhibited, liberal ideology of "If it feels good, do it!!!!"

If you are looking for a sex book that covers every topic really well and in detail, then this is the book. Other books that try to cover a lot of ground are not as good. Even the Dummy guide is not at all as good as this Idiot guide, and The Joy of Sex is bad compared with this book, too, because this book covers much more detailed information about all aspects of improving your sex life. This book is great by giving important details about sex, and it is funny at times, too, which sex should be. The pictures are sexy with out going too far. This is the best sex book to learn a lot and to get a more creative sex life. It would even make a good gift, because the title seems like a gag gift, but inside the contents are so great that anyone will learn from it and be grateful. If you want the best sex book get this.

This is truly a good read about all things sex and I've many on this site, including this one and Sex Machine: A Man's Guide to What Really Pleases a Woman in Bed as well as other. I was amazed at the amount of know-how the author(s) put into this book. It's almost an A-Z kind of book with most subjects talked about throughout. It was really, really helpful. Don't pass this one up!

Loved this book. It just happened that at the same time I was reading this book I also saw a show in NYC called My First Time. It was a great combination. Added to the attitude of the book. Great read...and show...lol enjoy!

I guess I was looking for something else but the book is good for general audience, who already know about sex and everything that comes with it. It describes woman's and man's sexuality, sexual relationships, self-pleasure, sexual positions, aging in sex, etc. Personally for me it was surprising to read that having sex in public is ok (as long as no one sees), like in the taxi, park or even kid's playground. Excuse me? I would much rather prefer this book to recommend against this. Another thing I disagreed with is that Sadomasochism is "healthy". No it is not, receiving and giving pleasure through pain is a psychological abnormality. Or role playing of pretending "mother and child", I am surprised such a suggestion was given. Except for these and few other points, the book is okay for general public. I personally sought something more on a psychological basis.

I bought this book hoping it would be a guide to amazing sex, as in it's title. However there is a good portion of the book devoted to "high school" like sex-education: diagrams of sexual parts, discussions on contraception, etc. There is very little about the act of sex in here, and what is here, is nothing new or interesting. This book would be very helpful for high school students and virgins, but not for an adult. I was very disappointed.

Love this book, it is amazing. This will help your bedroom sparkle, another book I would like to recommend is "Astral Sex:(Art of astral projection)" by Sapphire, together will help you even more.
For screaming, amazing sex, you need these two books. :) (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-08-01 03:14:49 EST)

Educational! Insightful! Funny. A zesty, smart-guide worth having on your bookshelf. Sari Locker is a well thought out provocative speaker and author. One of my most prized possesions.

This book is... well... what one might expect from a sex book. It's quite basic -- which is really the point -- so if you're advanced, you probably won't get much out of it.
However, it's an entertaining read and very informative for newbies. Watch out for the "Willow Tree" -- you might poke an eye out. :) Parents who are afraid or just embarrassed about discussing sex with their teens, this is the book to get. Forewarning: it contains nudity; however, it's not porn. Just used to explain what's going on. Although, sex positions wittily named "The Wheelbarrow," " The Snake," etc., are quite humorous and amusing. *This review pertains to the newest edition.

Sari gets a home run with this one. Really a fun read and very informative. I'd just read "The Call Girl Actress, Confessions of a Lesbian Escort" by Erica Black and I thought it was outstanding, so this one by Locker had to be really good to get a favorable mention. It was. I'd buy both.

Most people know that there's more to sex than the missionary position. But to make sex really hot, some people need a little guidance. That's where acclaimed sex educator--and WCBS-TV relationship correspondent--Sari Locker steps in. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex has fresh advice on how readers can make smart sexual choices, cast aside inhibitions, and keep their sex life exciting well into their golden years.

This book should be more aptly called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Boring Sex" as it would more likely state what it really discusses. I have read a number of books on this topic, and have expected it to deliver the goods, but it only spoke on a superficial, elementary level. I think readers deserve more than that! Has anyone reading this book looked at "The Science of Sex" by Dr. Pezzi, MD (google it)? I challenge readers to compare the two books, and see which delivers what it promises.

Whether or not you're well-skilled in sexual matters or a complete beginner, this is THE book to read on the subject. I thought the author did an amazing job with all things sex. It reminded me a bit of "The Guide to Getting it On", as it was very in-depth and revealing look into human sexuaity. But it wasn't text-booky at all.
A totally fun-loving and revealing book, all in all. I also liked "Good Sex, a woman's guide", too. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-10-07 03:55:41 EST)
