Please do not let your children read this book. Skim through it for yourself and you will see that it is not a conversation with God at all. Beware!

i totally don’t understand why so many people loved this book. i earnestly tried to read it the whole way through but couldn’t. the main character is completely unbelievable, and the dialogue is terrible (i find it hard to believe people spoke that way in the year this novel took place). the prose in this book had zero imagination. when i read books like this, i feel like the author is more interested in finishing than developing the work.

the litany of things i hated about this book would take all day to write. i suppose if you were ever interested in read this tripe, go for it, as it seems like tons of people loved it. i hated Water for Elephants, however.

One day I was flipping through the channels and came across this playing. It was halfway through, but I enjoyed what I did see greatly. It made me a Sugar Ray fan immediately! And an obsessive fan of the georgeous Mark McGrath…:)

It never made much sense to pay big bucks for a simple cable. This one is marked HDMI on the connectors, seems well made, works fine and it arrived quickly by USPS. I really can’t expect more.

Needed more USB ports. This was a good solution. Have not had any problems with the Hub. The 2 ports on the top prove to be very handy for temporary connections.

I got the Garmen Forerunner 305 Friday night and charged it overnight. This morning I turned it on, entered my personal profile and it automatically found the satelite signal and paired up with the HR monitor. I took off for a 5 mile run that I was very familiar with and was very excited when the distance matched down to the tenth. I am very impressed at how accurate the mileage is. The pace and calorie counter was realy cool too. The only thing I wish is that the HR readout was bigger. I could not see it well enough while running but figure I can adjust a setting or something and it’ll show up larger. The thing is awesome and I can’t wait to pound the pavement again in the morning. Another thing that was really cool was the software and the Google Earth download. I was able to see my exact run and look at pace, distance, HR and elapsed time. I read 30+ reviews prior to purchasing and wanted to share mine because so many of the reviews helped me make my purchase decision. I definitely recommend buying it!!

I found this book in a dusty little corner of my local used bookstore (yes, they do still exist) and was intrigued by the title and premise. A few months later I have now read the entire trilogy and must say it really speaks directly to the soul, bypassing all the mental gatekeeping we humans come up with to deny ourselves direct contact with the source of our being. I’m not one of those folks who think that all religions are only in the business of building their own power by feeding gullible minds with fear and judgment — there are certainly very enlightened folks with open hearts and minds within organized religion. Yet, I’ve always been skeptical of the ones who try to tell you that their views are absolute and threaten you if you choose a different vehicle to find love and meaning in life. It’s just too obvious that anyone who tries to tell you that God is vengeful or would exclude some of us is just insecure in themselves. As Michael Franti says: “God is too big for just one nation, and God is too big for just one religion.” Yell Fire!

What tells me that Neale Donald Walsch has really tapped into the essence of God is that the books read as refreshingly and truthfully in 2009 as they must have when they first came out in the mid-90s. This phenomenon in itself is discussed in the book — the fact that God really is timeless and nameless. Too often we’re stuck in the dualistic mechanisms of our mind that tells us to divide everything — yesterday versus tomorrow, us versus them, believers vs non-believers. In that very same mindset we also like to look at “God” as a particular thing or person, something we can imagine or portray with our thoughts. And too often, religious texts create the same kind of hierarchy of spirit that we assign to our social structures on earth. For example, looking at God as “The Father” is a very common image conjured by a patriarchic mindset, as if there’s some sort of a guy sitting somewhere up there wagging his imaginary finger at

As an Oracle DBA, I was looking for a book that can help me better understand MySQL core concepts and differences compared to my primary working platform. I was looking for a book with the flavor of Oracle Concepts Manual. I partially read official MySQL reference manual but didn’t find (get?) all the answers (nor I really enjoyed reading it – sorry AB doc. team!). I think this book filled my knowledge gap on MySQL perfectly. Actually, this book could easily bear different title, such as “MySQL concepts guide” or something like that. You’ll probably read the book in a couple of days, thanks to the author’s clear writing style. Let me give you an example. Some technical topics are difficult to explain in a few sentences, like the one on letter I (Isolation) from ACID rules for ’safe’ transactions. Just compare the explanation on “phantom reads” from this book with the one you’ll find in Oracle Concepts Manual (freely available on-line from OTN). Now, which one did you understand on the first pass? Thanks to clear and short explanations, right from the beginning of the book, I learned some important technical facts about MySQL that I could easily put in perspective with my Oracle background. For example:-”All InnoDB tables have primary keys”-”InnoDB tables are similar to Oracle index-organized tables.”-”MySQL will only ever use one index per table per query!”-”MySQL doesn’t cache rows for MyISAM tables, only indexes…as opposed to InnoDB”-”…counts are very fast on MyISAM tables and slow on InnoDB tables…”Obviously the chapters that I liked the most in this book are the ones that covers core things very well: “2. Storage Engines”, “4. Indexes”, “5. Query Performance” and “10. Security”. All other chapters are fine but not essential for my current use of MySQL (like the excellent chapter on replication where it’s obvious that Jeremy poses vast practical experience with replication from his workplace at Yahoo!). The only complaint that I have is the one on “Stor
