Living in Darkness - Book Review
Award winning author John Roynesdal, is a retired English
teacher who has written for more than 15 years and
produced 3 books for his Phillip Michael Carnegie Mystery
series. Throughout the series, John focuses on issues that
prevail on mankind: greed, prejudice, poverty, dysfunctional
families and the conflict between traditional and modern
societies. Living in Darkness, a 265-page mystery novel, is
the third book in this series. Here, we have a serial killer at large. Detective Carnegie
and his coworkers Paul and Nick are out to solve the case.
Clues point to many possibilities and keep the team
working hard. Is it the work of a homophobe? Or a case of
mad revenge? Or pointless youth rage? Juliana, their
insightful and caring friend has often aided in cases in the
past ? and this one is no different. Inspired by the work of
another man, Juliana is attempting to open a safe house for
runaway gay children but she is obstructed by zealous
religious leaders. The boss, "Fats", wants to see the serial killer case closed
and it seems that it should be ? but Detective Carnegie
feels something is not quite right. He continues the
investigation without consent and stumbles on some clues
that change everything. This book promotes freedom and a willingness to live and
let live regarding sexuality. Good points were made about
prohibition making various sexual urges into something
secretive and devious. I felt that John did a wonderful job
depicting the stresses of the homosexual. Readers are
shown the stigma that is placed on them as soon as they
are known as "gay". The reaction of employers and family
was interesting and the prejudice homosexuals endure was
enlightening. The story line definitely brings awareness to
the hateful and disgusting crime of gay-bashing. ISBN#: 1411626702

Ideas Are Free - A Book Summary
Without great ideas, no organization can stay afloat, much less flourish. Managers and top executives are constantly struggling to come up with big ones ? creative marketing strategies, ingenious cost-cutting schemes and other corporate solutions that will save time and money and improve productivity. But what few of them realize is that right under their noses is a virtually limitless source of valuable ideas ? ideas that can revolutionize their company and help bring substantial and sustainable competitive advantage. These great ideas come, surprisingly, from the lowest point of the corporate food chain ? from the frontline employees who do the "dirty" work and who therefore see a lot of problems and opportunities that their managers do not.

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.

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life is another book focusing on the obvious. We've heard it all before. In fact, as stated on the inside flap of this very book, we've been hearing this message from this particular author for 30 years. My guess is we'll be hearing it from him for as long as he can speak. And speak he does. Brian Tracy is one of the top professional speakers in the world; he has given more than 2,000 presentations and addresses as many as 450,000 people each year. He's published 32 books and more than 300 audio and video learning programs. He continues to spread his message because he believes it; he has lived it successfully for decades, and has helped thousands of others learn how to set goals, expand their thinking, and reach their full potential.

John C. Maxwell is back again in Thinking for a Change: 11 Ways Highly Successful People Approach Life and Work to add to his more than 30 previous titles with his encouraging tone and down-to-earth writing style. As usual he offers a very simple premise: "To do well in life, we must first think well." This certainly is not a new premise. In fact, it's been around for years, and we've heard it paraphrased by dozens of authors of note. However, as usual, Maxwell simplifies, clarifies, and guides his readers on the journey of mastering "good thinking" to achieve their personal and professional potential. Through his extensive research over the years he has found that "successful people think differently than unsuccessful people."
