In recent years, the grappling arts have proven to be the most effective form of combat in mixed martial arts (MMA) and no-holds-barred (NHB) competitions Above all others, the Gracie brand of Brazilian jujitsu has become recognized as the preeminent fighting style in unarmed combat.

Get down and dirty with limericks that hold nothing back. After all, clean-cut fun just can't compare to a good roll in the mud (or the hay, in the case of these poems). This presents all the classic dirty ditties--including the man from Nantucket and the lady from Crewe (if you're new to limericks, just imagine what sort of words you can rhyme with these two Irish cities and you'll have a feel for where these lewd lines are heading)--along with some hilarious new friends from around the world. The rhyming fun includes a spectrum of clever obscenities, tawdry topics, and crazy collusions; it's poetry adults can finally enjoy.

Since this wild form of verse began in Limerick, Ireland, there's enough Irish flair thrown in to make this edition a great read for St. Patrick's Day or any day, especially over a pint.

"The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical."
--Anonymous.

Media planning consists of formulating a media strategy to deliver the creative so as to best meet the brand's advertising objectives, and then implementing that strategy in an accurate and cost-effective manner. Given that approximately ninety percent of advertising dollars are spent in media, a sound understanding of media planning is essential for the researcher and professional media planner alike. Although this book provides a novel and advanced approach to media planning, the basics are covered as well, making the book suitable for trainees. The authors argue that current media planning is still too conventional, that while reach and frequency are not incorrect, they are certainly too simplistic for modern media planning. This book introduces the advanced concept of using reach patterns in making the reach decision, and develops the method of factoring in effective frequency when making the frequency decision. Reach patterns are an entirely new concept. Effective frequency, while not new, needs proper definition and an operational formula for its calculation, both of which are provided here. Other new concepts are introduced and shown to be necessary for choosing an appropriate media strategy. The media planning software, `Media Mania', designed by Peter Danaher, is included on diskette with the book. .
