I had never found a good learning software for languages but this is great. It is very friendly, very exciting, not boring, takes you through different drills while you are learning and gives you a lot of grammar aids. I am fascinated with this piece of art. I truly recommend this. I am getting the Spanish for my hubby and I will continue with French, all by the same company.
My wife and I are trying to learn French fast and this program is making that happen. It is done in an interesting and fun way that keeps your attention. It does not waste a lot of time boring you with details, but gets into conversations fast.

I recommend these products to EVERY parent out there. We have been watching the baby signing time DVDs since my little girl was 8 months old and have given them as gifts to new parents we know. She undeniably benefited and excelled in her communication and eventually her vocal skills with learning sign language. She started signing a few weeks after I got these in the mail. She is now 23 months and is talking SO MUCH. She is putting together lots of sentences and knows at least 200 words. The flash cards we use a lot lately, and she can wiz through them naming every object. The sign language helped her understand things, as well as communicate them. It also definitely helped with tantrums, because before she could talk I could understand her better than without it. I feel that sign language should be a standard practice with babies and toddlers. Why isnt it? The videos really make it fun and interesting and Rachel is super smiley and friendly.
We purchased the deluxe kit when our baby was just under 6 months. We followed the instructions and kept it simple, starting out with only milk, mom, and dad. After about 8 weeks she was was signing all three, even though she had her own version of mom and dad, she was very consistent and we chose not to correct her. We slowly began adding more words and she watched the videos when mama needed a few minutes of quiet. I was pleasantly surprised when one day she began signing words that we were not actively teaching her. At 18 months, she has a large vocabulary, learns new signs every day, and is much less frustrated that she can tell us what she wants. I cannot recommend this product enough! What a lifesaver!
I bought this product to teach my son (30 month at the time) a basic sign language before he got his cochlear implant. I initially use the Website to teach myself basic words so that can teach my son what I have learned. However while I was using the website, I reached somewhat of limitation on the words that I wanted to learn and I liked the illustration that they used and decided to buy the package. It came with flash cards and the book and few other materials. We did not use too much of the book, but the flash cards was very useful. My son liked the cards very much and he learned quite a lot from the flash cards. Only wish it had more cards but still very useful. Eventually, after he learned all the words from the card, he kind of got tired of the cards and got his implant so we did not pursue too much with sign language, but this is a pretty good material for younger kids. As one of the other reviewer commented, there are quite a lot of information on the web, if you want to teach yourself, but for kids, this is a pretty good materials to have kids interested on learning sign language.
I received the flash cards, dictionary and instruction book as a baby shower gift as I had expressed a great deal of interest in the concept. I am happy to say that I have absolutely adored the experience of teaching my son sign language and have found it to not only be rewarding and extremely helpful during the many communication transitions children have, but it is a great deal of fun. I found the flash cards to be the most helpful part of the kit. My son loved to play with the flash cards so learning became a game to him. Once he wanted to learn more, the dictionary became handy as well. I am grateful to have used it and would hope all parents take advantage of the option to better communicate with their kids.
Cards are nicely designed and durable. The book and poster are good too. We did not get the kit with the DVDs. My son refused to learn to sign, but we did work with him for about 12 months and these materials made it easy for us to try.
They can both sign basic foods, many animals and signs like more, thirsty, cold and hot. We are extra proud parents. They are also starting to speak and often combine signs with speech which helps as far as clarity.
I highly recommend this product to parents. Baby Sign Language made an amazing difference in my daughter and her ability to communicate with us. We started signing to her when she was about 5 months old. She learned slowly but around the 1 year mark, she just took off and soon began using more signs than we could even remember. Amazing!

Tim, I have not seen the deluxe edition, but I have a copy of the hardback, and I am assuming that the editorial content is identical in both.
I do not agree that this volume is "not far off" from the Oxford Catholic Study Bible reading guides. For example, I do not think that the Little Rock would be appropriate for college or seminary students, although the Oxford is used for that purpose. The Oxford reading guides include extensive overviews of each of the books of the Bible, with commentary discussing each of the major subsections of the book. In contrast, the Little Rock contains brief inserts or photographs that look more like something one would expect to see in a magazine.
In particular, in pre-NABRE editions of the Oxford volume, the reading guide often interacted directly with the NAB notes -- explaining them in some instances -- and were written in a tone that was compatible with the tone adopted by those notes. I don't think the same is true of the Little Rock. (One can only hope that someday the Oxford volume will be revised to interact with the NABRE text and notes.)
As a simple example of a major shortcoming in the Little Rock, one could take the question of the relationship of the three Synoptic Gospels. This seems to be among one of the basic points that a serious study Bible needs to address. The Little Rock is silent on this issue (other than what is already in the NAB notes) except for a relatively shallow tables (e.g. on p. 2003, a listing of the "twelve" that merely lists Matthew, 10:2-4, Mark 3:13-14, Luke 6:12-16, and John 1:40-49.)
I would particularly call out the "prayer starter" notes as an example of non-academic (and sometimes irrelevant) notes. For example, on p. 2026, at Matthew 18:20 the note reads:
All prayer has power, but when prayer is united to the prayer of others, God promises to be present in a unique way. Do you ever ask others to pray with you? Who will you ask today?
Now here, the NAB notes contrast this with a passage from the Minshah. The Little Rock note is hardly explanatory at all, but instead is almost devotional. That's fine for a devotional Bible, but not characteristic of a study Bible -- and completely unlike the Oxford volume.
Another example is the note at Matthew 6:9 (the Lord's Prayer):
Perhaps the most important part of prayer is the "sound of silence." All words fall away and we float in a lake of quiet surrender. It is in the spaces between the words that we hear God's voice.
Not only is that not an academic comment, but it is not even related to the verse! It sounds more like a Hallmark card that a Bible commentary.
I'm also not certain that I agree that social justice teachings are appropriate in a study Bible. Social justice is largely a matter of interpretation (in academic terms, "reception history"), and views have changed over time. One could ask why this type of interpretation is discussed at length in the Little Rock and not other issues of "reception history." Moreover, the social justice notes are highly selective (compare, for example, with the scriptural index in the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church.) Finally, the Little Rock's rhetorical questions (e.g., see above quotations, or your quotation: "Are you willing to accept your role as a midwife?") are not appropriate at all in an academic work.
Now, I'm not saying that there is not a market for the Little Rock, but rather that it is hardly an academic study Bible and the integration of the added texts with the NABRE notes is quite poor.

Finally, since you mention the TNIV Study Bible, I want to point out that in October, Zondervan released a revision of that work: the 2011 NIV Study Bible (based on the NIV11 text).
