Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (What a way to carry checks!) 『I have always refused to buy those fancy checks. No pictures, flowers, sayings, animals. Just plain checks with my name. Oh yes, I gave in two years ago and selected a logo to place next to my name. First, I chose a cat, then another cat on the next order, then a stack of books (I'm a librarian and cat-lover). That's my only concession to prettifying my checks.
But today I had to break my rule and buy this Laurel Burch Purple Cat Checkbook Cover. I don't mind prettifying the cover. In fact, I am delighted with the whimsy and colors. I might even smile when I whip out the checkbook for another doling out of my hard-earned money to people and places like utilities, mortgage, credit card company, tuition for the Pretend Children, and so on.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Grand Wallet) 『A few years ago, while in Holland, I purchased a wallet in a village leather goods shop. I loved the feel of it and how easy it accomodated money, cards and small notes. Over time the spine on the wallet deterioated and I had to ditch the wallet. Since then I've searched high and low for a replacement and the DOPP checkbook cover and card holder by Buxton is a close replica. Supple leather, plenty of compartments and ease of use (even with one hand) make it a great wallet -- even if you don't use the checkbook side for actual checks, which I don't. Well stitched and tooled, if those are the correct terms for construction of the billfold.

The quick change holder goes well with my cordless drill, and the bits seem extremely hard and tough. The fit in the carrying case is a bit tight, but that's better than being too loose. I'm not sure of the utility of the smaller flat head bit; it's hard enough keeping a large flat head in its slot with a power screwdriver, much less a small one; maybe a star bit would have been more useful. Regardless, a good set for most tasks, and the smallish quick change holder is just right for most jobs.

I got used to being able to separate receipts, coupons and even amounts of money that I miss very much. I like the 6 card slots but prefer the old one with 3 slots and a coin purse on the other side. The zipper section on the back of the purse is great. The shoulder strap on both purses (old and new)is much to long. I have had to shorten them by 13 inches.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A heart breaking account of a preventable disaster) 『Having recently completed this book, I am saddened and outraged at NASA management for coming full circle. I have read several accounts and the offical Presidential report on the Challenger accident. You literally could swap dates and names and the events leading up to the disasters are identical.
Early on in this account, you quickly learn that no one in NASA was surprised by the events that took place that awful morning. It describes how managers at the landing facility at Kennedy immediately knew that the foam impact had destroyed the orbiter and killed its crew as they watched the families still oblivious to the situation, smiling and waiting on their now deceased loved ones.
As you read, you at first feel for the lower level engineers trying to have their concerns heard. Shortly, however, you find yourself screaming at them for not having the "fortitude" to break the protocol for fear of damaging their careers.
A couple very minor errors. A "this" instead of "his" or a "on" instead of "in" overall, a very educating account of the communication problems that exist(s) / (ed)? in NASA.
Wayne Hale summed it up best by comparing Columbia to Apollo 13 and Mission Controller Gene Kranz. "Everybody considers Kranz a hero because he and mission control saved the day, we never gave ourselves a chance."』
(Excellent Read) 『I can't say I enjoyed the book since it discusses the events leading to the deaths of seven astronauts but I did find it worth-while reading. The authors discuss the biographies of the seven astronauts and how their deaths impacted their families and friends as well as the technical and "cultural" failures that cause the Columbia's breakup during re-entry. I found it interesting that the same engineering thought processes of "perceived risk" that allowed the continued flying of Challenger despite known failures of the O-rings went into allowing the shuttle program to continue when the engineers (and management) knew dislodged foam struck the heat shields on the shuttles at liftoff without attempts to "fix" the problem (or, at least, determine if the falling foam formulated a safety hazard!). The authors conclude with the notice that the shuttle program terminates in 2010 without a manned space program to follow it because NASA has not created an acceptable (or even an unacceptable) replacement for the shuttle, which is based on 30 year old engineering. Congress has not allocated monies for continued development of a manned space program to continue beyond 2010 - so who supplies the International Space Station after 2010?』
(An unfortunate Perspective) 『A good, thorough analysis. It's unfortunate that the author(s) felt it unavoidable that they should fill the book with Christian propaganda. It really took away from the objectivity.』
(Solid but not Spectacular) 『"Comm Check..." tells the story of the loss of the space shuttle Columbia. If you are expecting a top-level, academic analysis, like the one found in Diane Vaughan's "The Challenger Launch Decision", then this book is not for you. It is a well written book with lots of human interest anecdotes about the people and the organizations involved in the tragedy. It is factual and reasonably well organized but is written with a sense of drama that I found both distracting and unnecessary. At times, the continual stream of mini-biographies made it hard to follow the book's main theme. While interesting, I gained little from the litany of who went to which school and who had flown so-many thousands of hours in jet fighters. Even the the climactic chapter "Re-Entry Revisited" was light duty in terms of the technical information and overly dramatized events from the astronauts perspective.
If you are just starting to research events surrounding Columbia's loss or are simply interested in learning the whole story, this book is a good starting place. It provides the "big picture" in an easily understood fashion. However, it lacks the depth and comprehensive coverage that one would expect from a well done historical summary. Also, there is minimal analysis, of the events leading up to and following the loss of Columbia, beyond a superficial compilation of basic facts and the conclusions of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. The few conclusions expressed by the authors are neither insightful nor motivating.』
(Excellent Read) 『Being a space nut, and being very impacted by the Columbia disaster, this book was exactly what I was looking for.
The writing style is smooth and segues between topics and people almost seamlessly. It covers the human side and also the technical nature of the issues that came together to create the accident that caused the loss of the shuttle and her crew.
By far the most emotional item for me was reading the detailed breakdown of what happened in the last 15 minutes of the mission. Hearing how the shuttle struggled as hard as it could to bring its crew home, and was just simply overcome by the stresses caused by the weakened left wing. I have read the entire CAIB report before and this book breaks down the final minutes of Columbia in a much more clear and to the point kind of way.
The book doesn't point blame but often infers blame on a few key managers in Nasa's space program and rightly so.
The shuttle program and history is very interesting to read about and this is a perfect addition to anyone's collection. 』 『On February 1, 2003, the unthinkable happened. The space shuttle Columbia disintegrated 37 miles above Texas, seven brave astronauts were killed and America's space program, always an eyeblink from disaster, suffered its second catastrophic in-flight failure. Unlike the Challenger disaster 17 years earlier, Columbia's destruction left the nation one failure away from the potential abandonment of human space exploration. Media coverage in the immediate aftermath focused on the possible cause of the disaster, and on the nation's grief. But the full human story, and the shocking details of NASA's crucial mistakes, have never been told -- until now.
Based on dozens of exclusive interviews, never-before-published documents and recordings of key meetings obtained by the authors,Comm Checktakes the reader inside the conference rooms and offices where NASA's best and brightest managed the nation's multi-billion-dollar shuttle program -- and where they failed to recognize the signs of an impending disaster. It is the story of a space program pushed to the brink of failure by relentless political pressure, shrinking budgets and flawed decision making. The independent investigation into the disaster uncovered why Columbia broke apart in the sky above Texas.Comm Checkbrings that story to life with the human drama behind the tragedy.
Michael Cabbage and William Harwood, two of America's most respected space journalists, are veterans of all but a handful of NASA's 113 shuttle missions. Tapping a network of sources and bringing a combined three decades of experience to bear, the authors provide a rare glimpse into NASA's inner circles, chronicling the agency's most devastating failure and the challenges that face NASA as it struggles to return America to space.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Junior High Book Report) 『I really wanted to like this book, but I could not. Weiner has nothing original to say. He has simply read a few popular science books -- good ones, such as How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker -- which you can and should read for yourself. Weiner gives what amounts to a book report, and a bad one at that.
First, Weiner uses childish language and technics, "Hello, hello wake up -- all this is going on in your mind this instant." I don't know about you, but I find that pretty lame.
Even worse, Weiner fails to understand basic concepts that many junior high students do understand. Get this quote:
"Do you have brown eyes? If both your parents have brown eyes, then you will have brown eyes, because the gene that creates brown eyes is dominant over the one that creates blue eyes."
Wrong! The fact that brown is dominant is why the child of two brown eyed parents can have blue eyes. The child of two blue eyed parents, however, will have blue eyes. Shame on Weiner, and shame on his editor for not catching that.
In short, this book is written at a junior high school level, but the author should not be teaching our kids!』
(Very Poor Research and Delivery) 『I picked up this book at the local library because the title and brief description on the cover sounded interesting. I started reading the book and was amazed at how poorly written it was. Typos, bad logic, and a general tone of delivery that made it difficult to continue reading. Later, I skimmed the remainder of the book to make sure I wasn't jumping to conclusions. This book is very bad. I was curious to see what other readers thought of the book on Amazon -- I can only guess that some of these five star reviews are from the author's friends.』
(Can we trust our mind to tell us anything about reality?) 『What is reality? Can we rely on our brains to tell us what reality is? What about our emotions? Do they come from the brain, some other part of the body, or even from something outside the body such as the soul or spirit? The subtitle of this book is "What your mind knows, but isn't telling you." I believe it would be as accurate to say the book is about what your mind knows but can't tell you because you wouldn't believe it.
The author David L. Weiner writes in a style that is easy to understand even when the things he writes about are not easily understandable. He covers such topics as the anatomy of the brain, how neurons work, the impact of general relativity, and the marvel of DNA. This is one of those books that has so many good pieces of information in it, that you sort of wish it would just on and on explaining everything.
I liked the book especially in those areas where Weiner puts things into perspective such as describing our DNA as a 6 foot long thread that is so thin you could only see it with a scanning electron microscope. Yet contained in that small thread is the whole blueprint of our minds, bodies, and very existence. The difference between any two humans expressed as a percentage of this DNA is so small as to be meaningless even though we spend our entire lives proving to ourselves and others that we are different. Sometimes proving entails the expression of the best in art, music, science, or even politics while at other times that proving entails torture, killing, war, and enslavement.
Another section I found fascinating dealt with religions of the world. Quoting from the World Christian Encyclopedia: A Comparative Survey of Churches and Religions in the Modern World, published by the Oxford University Press, Weiner reports that "there are at least 10,000 distinct and different religions across the world, of which 270 have more than 500,000 adherents." And the single largest component of religion is genetics - at least 99.99% of the time you inherit your religion from your parents. In the United States where religion is considered more changeable than in many parts of the world, Weiner states that fewer than 2% convert from one religion to another in any year. I would venture that that is much to high of an estimate.
Although Reality Check won't give you all the answers to life's questions, it will provide you with several hours of interesting reading and dozens of thought provoking questions.
』
(Reality Check Is A Good Read) 『Reality Check by David L. Weiner is by far one of the better books I have read on human psychology. After working in Rehabilitation and Corrections for a number of years, I know what a psychopath is. David L. Weiner tells it like it really is. This book is an excellent read for anyone interested in learning what makes people become what they are. I am confident that you will not be disappointed.』
(Insightful) 『 Very insightful, it was most of the information I was looking for. Thought provoking and easy to not technical like reading a car manual, I understood it and enjoyed. I recommend his other books as well, even though I just stated I find the insightful as well; Power Freaks and Battling the Inner Dummy』 『What is "reality"? Each of us has a "virtual reality" consisting of our individual ideologies, opinions, attitudes, values, and beliefs that weve built up over the years. But what if you found out that what you thought was true really isnt? In Reality Check, David L. Weiner takes us on an entertaining romp through many odd and interesting new findings in various scientific fieldsfrom neurobiology to physics to geneticsin order to dismantle some of our most common misconceptions about being human. By opening our minds to a scientific view of reality, rather than hanging on to our own comfortable (and mostly incorrect) beliefs, we can gain valuable insights and tools for improving the quality of our lives. The fresh and surprising information in this book has ramifications for parents, managers, educators, and everyone else interested in getting the most out of others and themselves.』

About Helly Hansen For more than 130 years, Helly Hansen has been at the forefront of product development and innovation. Since 1877, when sea captain Helly Juell Hansen made his first oilskin waterproof jackets, the company has pushed the boundaries of fabric technologies. Helly and his wife Maren Margrethe gathered a stock of coarse linen and linseed oil. They designed and sewed jackets, trousers, and sou'wester hats for ocean use. Then Helly Juell applied oil to the garments and dried them before an open fire. Helly Hansen's waterproofs were a great success. In that first year, 1877, they produced and sold 2,000 items, from clothes to tarpaulins. Within five years they sold 10,000 pieces.
The business was officially formed in 1877. Helly Hansen was on the map, but his enquiring mind continually sought to diversify. He knew that the principle of lightweight waterproof fabrics must have multiple applications. The key to success was testing all his products before they were offered for sale. Quality was crucial. Helly Hansen's technical specifications were high, and so were the prices. But demand for his product continued to grow.
Many years later and with numerous new fabrics and technologies available, the evolution of breathable, waterproof jackets had a profound effect on the outdoor industry. Now everyone who participated in high-activity sport could expect their clothing to work with them, not against them. It was a major catalyst. From its roots in providing sturdy, waterproof clothing for fishermen, Helly Hansen now designed technical garments, base, insulation, and protective layers.
Now, more than 130 years since Helly began his work, Helly Hansen is a global company and is represented in more than 20 countries, with more than 500 individual product lines for men, women, and children. Helly Hansen provides technical clothing for workwear and action sports for all seasons.
