Pausing To Catch My Breath - Book Review
"Debra Warren has appropriately titled her book of poetry
'Pausing to Catch My Breath'. The pages depict this mother
and grandmother as someone who I would personally love
to sit across from at a kitchen table with a huge pot of tea
and talk for hours. Her style implements simple vocabulary with an honest
appeal, yet her work is astoundingly moving. This is the kind
of poetry that I like to read at a slow pace in order to allow
the statements to really sink in. 'I think' is a good example of
what I mean. 'Today' challenges readers to see beyond the
mundane, by considering what others are experiencing that
very moment. 'Its Never Too Late' was a moving piece about
many kinds of incarceration. I related with 'Trapped',
especially where she wrote, "I am trapped inside a body that
betrays". 'Pausing to Catch My Breath' is a particularly
beautifully written piece. I hope to retain in memory my
favorite line of this poem, "Hearing the music, I dance to my
yesterdays". Debra also displays an appealing sense of
humor in her work. I loved the imagery of viewing cruel and
stupid people as "human speed bumps" along the road of
life. 'Pausing to Catch My Breath' most certainly displays
Debra's ability to use uncomplicated prose to create deep
emotion, intellectual thought and crisp images." ISBN#:14137767478

Book review on Finite Capacity Scheduling, Part III
With this all possible the price could be lowered to a back breaking competitive level giving lower prices to consumers who voted with their dollars while retaining a huge number of proficient hours each time period. It is amazing that with all the freight forwarding software, inventory software, manufacturing scheduling software that no one sees the obvious uses to streamline services. Look at a Taxi Cab company, police dispatch, air traffic controller, train master at a rail yard with trains moving all directions and many 300 miles away all converging and departing simultaneously. Or the Phoenix missile system used by the government which when put onto an F-14 could track and kill 8 target 150 miles away moving at almost any speed in and direction on a three dimensional plane. Ever wonder why no F-15 has ever been shot down in combat? Even a gondola wire could not stop it, it always wins. So is it safe to say that when you have the best of everything that the odds are stacked so far in your favor that knowing the percentages is irrelevant to the game. All that needs to happen is to set fire in motion.
Be the Captain of Your Lifes Ship
In his book, "Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity," author David Whyte explores the concept of work from an internal perspective and how work allows us to become the individuals that we are. He refers to the works of the well-known poet and engraver, William Blake. Whyte uses the analogy of a ship crossing unknown seas to illustrate how we need to be the captains of our vessels. Through a variety of analogies, Wyte has presented work from a different perspective and one that allows us to explore our own potential and how we can better leverage that potential within that area of our life we call work.

Kmarts Ten Deadly Sins - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Kmart's Ten Deadly Sins: How Incompetence Tainted an American Icon was begging to be written. It probably would have surfaced much earlier if not for the fear of many authors that publishing too soon would result in the omission of who knows how many future bewildering tactics by the forever transforming retail giant, K-mart. Actually, contrary to my early assumption, this book is less an indictment of K-mart than it is a combination of warnings and lessons to everyone else. There are so many negative examples in the news today of how NOT to succeed in business. However, many organizations fail to acknowledge or learn from these examples.
