I got what I wanted from this book, which was a convincing account of RAD and why it is so different from “mechanistic” process languages like BPMN and BPEL. Although RAD diagrams resemble BPMN and UML activity diagrams (roles look like swim lanes, refinement looks like parallel or conditional branching, and so on), RAD runs much differently. While reading, I thought of the business rules connection, and sure enough KHB mentioned it explicitly a few pages later. As for KHB’s recommended changes on Ould’s classic RAD, I like them so much I think we should call this new RAD “KHB RAD.”

Interesting take on Petri Nets and the Pi Calculus is too. It’s different from what I had thought, but I buy it.

The more business-oriental material on how people work didn’t strike me as something I would want to present in front of clients. Is everyone such a prima donna at work? How are REACT and AIM supposed to guide them? The discussion is generally long-winded, anemic, and poorly edited. As a management book, “Human Interactions” is abysmal. The RAD coverage saves the day.

Human Interactions The Heart

After seeing over 1,000 five-star reviews, I feel an obligation to let people know how bad this book is. It has been a couple years since I read it, so unfortunately I can’t remember a lot of details about what I hated about it. I actually finished it, but only because I was in a foreign country and couldn’t get my hands on anything else to read. I spent the whole time I was reading it ranting to my husband about how bad it was, then threw it in the garbage when I was done.

I am not an expert on the era, but I could never get past all the anachronisms. The dialogue in particular did not seem believable for its time. All the characters spoke with the same voice, and the author was completely unable to capture the voice of an older man. It is not enjoyable to read fiction when you do not experience any suspension of disbelief. This author might have some potential to write a decent book, but only if she sticks to characters who are exactly like her. She has no business writing historical fiction.

Unlike some other negative reviewers, the profanity and animal abuse was not an issue for me.

Excellent way to display the GPS without using the suction cup on the windshield. It stays in place during turns and abrupt stops. My purchase through Amazon saved me over $11 off the Best Buy price.
Luminous Heart The Third

The Garmin Forerunners initially were a big scare for me
All the buttons, functions and applying heart rate got me fidgetin’

I used to heavily use the Nike+ Sportband with sensor pouches
It was straight forward – single button use and will last for long duration uses
Once th Sportband started showing signs of times drawing near – I decided to go for the Garmin Forerunners
I saw little price difference when looking at the 305 the 205, so I went with the 305 for the HR reading

When the box came in – out comes the Garmin AND an HR Strap
So I tested just with the Forerunner alone – it worked great
Did it a second time with an elevated path – once again a great read
Then I gave the HR strap a try – Boy it was actually cool seeing the HR flux about silly to the run
A 1/2Marathon run with HR really was test to see if the strap becomes an irritant for longer runs
It feels little bit tight (not constricted / fixed) and it holds position well

The software is a bit clunky – but it gives great readoffs and a rough visual of the path taken
Has issue of not getting rid of some unwanted recordings

The Forerunners does give some pain to the wrist and according to spec would not operate past 8hrs in GPS mode
That could become detrimental in future if I start doing runs exceeding 8hr (I may have to buy another one to keep going!?!)

PROS:
Thorough information readoff (Ele, HR, Pace, Distance, Lap)
Weather / Sweat Resistant
Program-capable to acknowledge downtimes, walk times and Lapping
Relatively straight forward program for PC / Mac

CONS:
Pains associated to the Forerunners physical build
Short lifespan in GPS mode
No info on Linux / OSS Install?

It’s definitely NOT for everyone. I was raised Christian but somewhere along the way I started question and found that there was so much more that we didn’t know about. By the time I got to these books I was ready for them. Religions have put human emotions into an ALL LOVING God. God is only one thing and that is love. Where there is ONLY love there can be nothing else. Religions have put fear into us by having us believe that God is anything other than total LOVE. God does not judge nor does he condemn.

There are three books containing these conversations and I believe the author to be completely truthful in how these books came to be written. There are some who don’t and won’t believe the information in these books – which is fine as these conversations are not going to ring true for everyone. I’m only sharing my opinion here. The information in these books is definitely something I was ready for and happy to read.

I really hope there are many others who are also ready for the information contained in these conversations with God.

A Heart Opened Wide

Water For Elephants is the story of ninety-something nursing home resident Jacob Jankowski, who reflects on the time he spent with the Benzini Brothers circus when he was in his early 20’s during the Depression Era. The story goes back and forth between those two periods of Jacob’s life. Old Jacob is clearly frustrated by the physical limitations of his aged body, and how small his world has become while living in the nursing home. Young Jacob joins the circus due to circumstances in his home life that are beyond his control, and the story goes on to describe the events that occurred during the time that Jacob spent with the circus as the staff veterinarian.

Sara Gruen writes with such rich detail. The sights, sounds and images she portrays are all so vivid that while reading this, I felt that I was transported to another time and place. I learned so much about what circus life was like during the 1930’s, and how disposable both human and animal life were to the circus owners. I was also very interested to learn that many of the happenings in the book are actually based on real-life events. The characterizations of the animals were particularly well-written in this book, too.

This book truly exceeded my expectations, and I am anxiously awaiting the release of the film!

I’d been using Office 2007 since I bought my new desktop three years ago, but I needed to buy another copy to put on my laptop. I thought I knew everything about the product, but little did I know that I would struggle with the packaging! And then be unable to find the registration key! And the CD didn’t install properly in my laptop! Fortunately, the laptop already had a trial version of Office installed–I just had to enter the key. And finally it worked, and it worked well. I like this version of Office a lot better than the old version (of which I was never a fan), but it did require a learning curve, and there are still things I have to search for occasionally. Overall, I’m happy with the product, and am interested to see what the 2010 version brings.
And I’m not really a kid, but I didn’t want to put my full name up, and Amazon doesn’t give the option to remove it.

The SteamVac works great. Kind of a hassle to attach the hose if you want to clean furniture or stairs. The last steamcleaner I had the hose was continuously attached so there was no need to attach, unattach, reattach. But other than that it works great. I haven’t had any problems with it yet. I have cleaned my couch and car so far. Suction is good so furniture dries quickly.
