Good, but..........2007-09-14

The book is chock full of useful information. Some is common sense, some not so common. However, it contains little about dealing with the Internet and communicating by email about credit. Moreover, as a man, I didn't appreciate the book's strong tilt toward women. Throughout, the author uses female pronouns and in places villainizes men. No advice for a man whose ex-wife has cleaned him out.

The Ultimate Credit Handbook.......2003-06-05

We used the information outlined in this book and it worked great. We had an old credit issue that dogged us for years. With this credit advise, we were able to deal effectively with AmEx and get incorrect charge-offs against our credit removed. This information is powerful and valuable. We recommend it.

this book gave me the information i needed to turn my finacial life around. easy to understand the who what where how and why to your credit history and future. if you need help with anything regarding your credit this book is all you need. thank you gerri detweiler.

This book is extremely well written!.......2001-12-05

This book truely answered all of my questions about credit and then went into suggestions that I could understand and implement. My credit is now perfect with a credit score of over 750. You will learn that scores over 700 are considered "A" credit. You will also see the importance of paying off high interest debt first. It sounds so simple but many people, like myself, were paying more on our mortgage while still carrying a credit card balance. This book has changed my family into knowledgable consumers. We are now debt free and I would strongly recommend it to anyone- and no, I don't know the author.

A Good Read.......2001-11-15

A could credit counselling book since: tells you how to budget, where you stand credit-wise, and even suggests bankruptcy (as a last resort). Worth the cost! Common sense is not so common.

Book Description

A cutting-edge collection of basic and state-of-the-art methods optimized for investigating the molecular biology of this class of retrovirus. These readily reproducible techniques range from methods for the isolation and detection of human retroviruses to cutting-edge methods for exploring the interplay between the viruses and the host. Here, the researcher will find up-to-date techniques for the isolation and propagation of HIV, HTLV, and foamy virus from a variety of sources. There are also assays for determining the cell tropism of HIV-1, the coreceptor usage of HIV-1, and human gene expression with HIV-1 infection by microarrays, as well as for phenotyping HIV-1 infected monocytes and examining their fitness. Highlights include the detection and quantification of HIV-1 in resting CD4+, a new cloning system for making recombinent virus, cDNA microarrays, and the determination of genetic polymorphisms in two recently identified HIV-1 co-factors that are critical for HIV-1 infection.

Book Description

The first book to specifically cover the molecular biology of retroviruses. With contributions by some of the world leaders in the field, this book provides a detailed review of current knowledge. An extremely important area, which has come to the forefront of research activity, especially with the emergence of HIV-1. The text reviews the molecular basis for cell tropism, and the various novel and ingenious viral mechanisms implemented to maximise viral spread while avoiding elimination by the human immune response. An excellent text for medical and non-medical researchers of human retrivology, it also serves as an illuminating introduction to the subject for scientists active in other areas of biological research.

Analysis of USAF Medium and Heavylift Space Launch Mission Reliability Requirements

Manufacturer: Storming Media
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Spiral-bound
ASIN: 1423557832

Product Description

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A982453. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The launch services that the USAF procures to carry DOD payloads into orbit are characterized by high risks and high costs. If a launch vehicle experiences a catastrophic failure, the cost of the entire launch vehicle, the launch processing, and the payload are completely lost (often in excess of 1,5 billion dollars.) Despite this enormous risk for the payload customer, and indeed the launch provider, launch success rates around the world are not much above 90 percent. The current USAF medium and heavylift launch systems are often based on technology that is 20 years old and older. Furthermore, little historical data exists because of the complex technologies used and the unique nature of individual missions. As such, reliability management is limited and faces serious shortcomings. This research investigates the various shortcomings associated with mission reliability measurement and management. Through literature review, case study analyses and interviews, the shortcomings are determined and analyzed. The results of this thesis effort demonstrate these shortcomings. Recommendations are presented for immediate improvement to selected shortcomings and suggestions are made for future research.

Disapointing.......2007-08-30

First off let me say that I love chick lit and I love shopping so I figured I'd love this book. I was completely wrong. I couldn't relate to the main character of this book. She is an African-American Republican and her political views are mentioned frequently throughout the book in a very judgmental manner.

All of the characters are completely one dimensional to the point of being cartoonish. The rich characters are beautiful, selfish, mean and self centered the poor characters are average looking, upstanding, moral do-gooders who only think of others and improving the world. Real people are 3 dimensional- no one is all good or all bad- but the author would have you believe otherwise. Much of the book is spent on the main character feeling sorry for herself to the point that you want to tell her to just get over it and get on with her life.

I am amazed by the number of good reviews. They must have read a different book. I picked up this book expecting that was light and fun. This book is depressing and the plot is so formulaic I kept wondering if I had read it before. About 1/3rd of the way through I wanted to stop reading but I figured that it couldn't get any worse. I was wrong. The book ends abruptly with minimal resolution and I wish I had not wasted my money or time on this novel.

Enjoyable.......2006-06-20

I just finished this book today, and I enjoyed it. I felt for Weslee. I could relate to the character, and it was good to see her go on her journey and how much she grew in the spanse of a year. It's interesting to read this case study on Blacks and class, and how it all intersects. This would make for a great read at the beach or during a cool autumn day.

Tried, tired, and true.......2005-12-06

Overall I found the book to be an interesting read. The story flowed well, however I found it to be a bit too cliche. Its the typical story about someone who gets caught up in a whirldwind and then must realize what things in life are really important. There are already a million stories out there along this vein and this is not unique in any way. The main twist is that this book attempts to delve further into the lives of the black upper middle class. I do question the author's actual experiences with the black upper class. she chose to develop the character of Lana along the lines of the typical rich, spoiled brat. While there are members of the black upper class that are like this, the author seems to have missed the ones who are equally as ambitious as the main character Weslee. I feel that the author;s unfair critique of the black upper class detracted some from the book which is why I gave it only three stars. Perhaps next time the author will come up with a more unique storyline besides what is already tried, tired, and true.

Will new shoes mend a broken heart?.......2005-07-17

Six months after her lover Michael, of five years, leaves her claiming he's too young to settle down, Weslee moves from Chicago to Boston to finish her MBA. She wants to put distance between her and Michael and give her heart a chance to heal. Among her new classmates is Lana, a wealthy young woman who loves to party. There are things about Lana that Weslee doesn't particularly care for, such as her sharp tongue and her snobbishness, but Lana introduces her to a whole new world that includes friends and up-scale parties on Martha's Vineyard. Lana also introduces Weslee to upscale dressing and shows her how to buy expensive, name brand clothing. As a result, Weslee becomes addicted to shopping.

Weslee meets several handsome men and one of them is Lana's cousin, Duncan. She also meets William, a friend of Lana's, and finds him attractive as well, but puts him on hold in favor of Duncan's charm, grace and good looks. In a very short time, she's head over heels in love and she begins to spend more and more money on clothes and shoes. Her carefully planned school budget takes a huge hit.

Joanne Skerrett has written a wonderfully suspenseful love story about a young woman who has a tendency to rush into relationships before she really gets to know the man. In addition, when things begin to go sour, she doesn't hesitate to blame herself. SHE WHO SHOPS is stunningly realistic and all of us have known someone like Weslee, or have even behaved this way ourselves. It is a book that can entice anyone who likes finger biting suspense.

An excellent portrait of all sides of Boston and a great read.......2005-06-23

Not many authors write about Boston in a way that gives you its full flavor--from Copley Square to the heart of Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan, you come away from this book with both an intimate knowledge of its central characters and of the diversity of Boston's communities.

This novel is fun and engaging but don't let the "chiclet" packaging fool you. There's some serious themes in there as well and the main character ends up having to take a break from shopping designer labels and do some deep soul searching about who she is, what she wants out of life, and who she wants to spend her life with.
