Textbook at the school for losers 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I saw this book in a bookstore recently and had to write a review. Thumbing through it left me with that same feeling I had the day after the recent presidential election - you know, sick to one's stomach. Ok, it's not just that the premise for the book is idiotic (really if you can't figure out online dating, then you probably need to keep your DNA out of the gene pool), but really, this book is such a waste of paper that I am suprised Sierra Club hasn't protested it. The writing is puerile and the attempts at humor akin to the jokes my preschool children tell. What were the "Learn...for 5 Bucks" people thinking? Save your money and spend the night tweezing your eyebrows, it'll be less painful and is more likely to improve your chances in the dating world.

Editorial Review:

It's rough seas in the world of online dating, and whether you're brand new to the process or looking to improve your results, you need this compact, low-priced guide to reel in a winner! In it, author Alyssa Wodtke reveals all the secrets of successful online dating! Short, sweet, and to the point, this budget booklet delivers just the need-to-know essentials for making the online dating scene work for you: how to pick a service, how to write an effective ad, how to weed out the losers, and more. Using simple step-by-step instructions and bold, full-color visuals, Alyssa makes a murky process crystal clear. You'll learn the difference between pay and free sites; whether or not you should post a picture; what special-interest groups are out there; how to be original in your ads; how to evaluate your responses; the art of rejection; when, where, and how to meet; and more.

Introducing contractors to an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of the computer-based programming system 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Enhanced with an accompanying CD-ROM, the Contractor's Guide To QuickBooks Pro 2006 by the team of contractors, accountants, and QuickBooks Pro experts Karen Mitchell, Craig Savage, and Jim Erwin is an in-depth, "user-friendly" guide to coordinating and knowledgeably approaching using the software programming of QuickBooks Pro in building construction contract development. Introducing contractors to an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of the computer-based programming system, QuickBooks Pro 2006 guides readers through QuickBooks Pro 2006's national estimator, an easy-to-use program with over 100 pages of construction cost and estimating data for general contractors; the Job Cost Wizard which swiftly converts the National estimates into QuickBooks Pro estimates for ease in creation of invoices and track job costs; as well as a collection of blank construction forms for customization and use with customers and subcontractors. QuickBooks Pro 2006 is very strongly recommended for its concise and thorough coverage of the often difficult dealings of construction contract estimates and bids.

Internet access is now the norm in both primary and secondary schools, and is available not only in the school library, but in computer rooms and classrooms.

It also offers a full understanding of information literacy and provides help with, and examples of, the most effective ways of teaching information skills to pupils. Chapters cover: the Internet: e-mail, listserv and the world wide web; how to use search engines effectively; evaluating websites; subject gateways for curricular subjects; information skills models - the PLUS model in schools; the PLUS model and the Internet; developing a school website; developing instructional websites - cooperation between the teacher and the school librarian; future developments; and examples of in-service training sessions.

Editorial Review:

The main links with your PC and the outside world are the centronic port, used for connecting the printer, the RS232 port, used for the mouse, and the games port for a joystick. This book explores how these input/output (I/O) ports can be put to use through a range of other interfacing applications. This is especially useful for laptop and palmtop PCs which cannot be fitted with internal I/O cards. A novel approach is taken by this book, combining the hardware through which the ports can be explored, and the software programming needed to carry out a range of experiments.

Circuits are provided for simple testing tools, and three experimental boards - which can also be purchased ready-made. Ready-to-run TurboPascal programs are available on the Newnes web site.

A huge range of applications are considered, turning the PC into a flexible core of a variety of systems. External devices considered include opto-isolator drivers, power drivers, LED drivers, relay drivers, special driver ICs, and methods of driving opto-isolated zero-crossing solid state relays, stepper motors, sound generating devices and displays. Ways of gathering information from the outside world are given, as well as connection to digital devices, remote control and digital communication.

As well as teaching in this field, Pei An has written numerous articles for magazines such as Electronics World and Electronics Today International.
