Space Shuttle Launch System 1972-2004 (New Vanguard) Overviews

The Space Shuttle is one of the oldest and most famous manned launch systems â€" the only launch vehicle that has been used for a longer period of time is the Soviet (now Russian) R-7 booster. By the start of the third millennium, the Space Shuttle had carried crews into space over 85 times. Although not a military structure, the Shuttle had been sold as an all-purpose launch system to be used jointly for military and civilian purposes. Featuring full-colour photos throughout, this book covers the design, development and operational history of a unique vehicle.

Space Shuttle Launch System 1972-2004 (New Vanguard) CustomerReview

Though this book is part of a series on military equipment, and thus places special emphasis on the Shuttle's military flights, it covers the vehicle's entire history up to the Columbia disaster. I found it to be interesting and well written.

For anyone seeking a short, concise history of the program it is an excellent choice.

Hacking Exposed Wireless: Wireless Security Secrets & Solutions CustomerReview

Hacking Exposed Wireless is built on the same template as the other excellent books in the Hacking Exposed series. I find the book very informative, and I'll keep it close, when I'll perform WiFi testing on the corporate network.

The Attack and Countermeasure sections in the chapters of the Hacking Exposed series, are one of the things I really like about books. They give you a good overview about the risks involved - and how to test and mitigate these risks.

The book consists of 11 chapters grouped in 3 sections: I) Overview, II) Hacking 802.11 Wireless Technologies and III) Hacking additional Wireless Technologies.

1. Section I - Overview.

* Chapter 1 gives you the fundamentals to Wireless technology and describes the common security problems.
* Chapter 2 is quite techie with some use of math for explaining how to calculate effect, antennas etc.

2. Section II - Hacking 802.11 Wireless Technologies.
This section explains from the basics of Wireless security to the more advanced and well protected implementations of Wireless security.

* Chapter 3 is a quite comprehensive guide to the history of the 802.11 protocol, and with that information, you are well equipped to go on to the following chapters. The description of the protocol is vital to understand how the vulnerabilities work.
* Chapter 4 is the description of how to discover and map wireless networks.
* Scanning and enumeration is the next step, and in Chapter 5 all the vital features are covered.
* Attacking `WEP secured WiFi networks' is covered in chapter 6, and I must say, I found this information useful. Having already done some pentesting on WEP secured Access Points (AP), I found the explanations and examples very interesting, and I'm going to try out some of the techniques explained here, next time I have an AP to test.
* WPA and WPA2 are normally considered to be pretty safe, if you choose the right password. But still the techniques described of how to deal with wireless enterprise setups, surprised me, and they should be taken in consideration, when documenting the risks in the corporate wireless network.
* Deploying security as described in chapter 8 covers the finer art of securing your wireless network.

3. Section III - Hacking additional Wireless Technologies

* A few acquaintances of mine have bragging about how weak the security is on hotels - and how they got free internet during their stay. Chapter 9 covers many of the weaknesses of public AP's like the ones in hotels, airports etc.
* The Bluetooth attack on a Mac from chapter 10 was quite new to me. I haven't done much in relation to Bluetooth. I have been aware of the fact, there is a risk involved with opening a Bluetooth connection in the public, but not that it could be exploited like that. It was a kind of eye-opener for me.
* The advanced attacks in chapter 11 are some of the issues I'll pay some attention next time I am to test a network. Especially the attacks that can be launched from Metasploit 3.0 sounds interesting (aka scary).

The book also covers threats like rough access points (and how to deal with them). I found this so much of an inspiration, that I want to try it out on one of the educational institutions in the town - of course with a formal approval.

If you work with issues of wireless security, I find this book a must have, and in my opinion, it is sufficient for penetration testers and technicians who are to install corporate networks. With the book in hand, they can do, what has to be done. The book is clearly not targeted against end-users.

Organization at the Limit: Lessons from the Columbia Disaster Overviews

Tragedies like the Columbia disaster are distressing reminders that things can go wrong in large, highly regarded organizations. Although we embrace new technologies eagerly, we are reluctant to accept the risks of innovation. Moreover, some technologies and organizations may be too complex to control effectively. What makes some organizations more prone to accidents? Do the very measures taken to increase safety contribute to accidents? Can societies, organizations, and individuals learn from failures and reduce risks?

Against this backdrop, Professors William H. Starbuck of New York University and Moshe Farjoun of York University have invited diverse experts to contribute insights about the Columbia accident and the organizational lessons it suggests. This book thus presents many viewpoints on the complex behavioral factors that led to disaster.

• Organizational Learning at NASA: The Columbia and Challenger Accidents (Public Management and Change)
• The Challenger Launch Decision: Risky Technology, Culture, and Deviance at NASA
• Managing the Unexpected: Resilient Performance in an Age of Uncertainty

• Normal Accidents: Living with High-Risk Technologies

Organization at the Limit: Lessons from the Columbia Disaster CustomerReview

After two horrible disasters, do you think that NASA has learned from its mistakes, and that it will never happen again? If so, you need to read this book! In 18 well-written chapters, the editors have assembled a set of experts on organizations and disasters to analyze lessons from the Columbia disaster. Because the Challenger disaster foreshadowed many of the problems that subsequently turned up in official investigations of the Columbia disaster, it also figures heavily in this edited book. The authors demonstrate the analytic power of an historically informed organizational analysis of a large governmental agency under strong political pressure to produce results with limited resources.

Two points in particular caught my eye. First, after the Challenger disaster, NASA was supposedly reorganized to place greater emphasis on safety. However, because the organization began to define the space exploration program as a problem of meeting production goals and deadlines, "safety" never achieved the priority in the organization than it deserved. Instead of seeing the space shuttle program as a developmental one, exploring the risky frontier of technological knowledge, NASA officials treated it like any other flight program. Second, as anomalies continued to crop up after flights, engineers and officials began to think about deviations from acceptable practices and outcomes as "normal." As deviation was normalized, unusual events were taken for granted and didn't provoke the kind of response than one would expect from life threatening occurrences.

Scholars interested in organization studies, organizational learning, systems theory, and other academic disciplines will learn much from this book. However, one can also hope that public officials will take its lessons to heart and look more closely at the design of other risky systems that are operating close to the limits of our scientific knowledge.

The Unpolished Manuscript: Of A Diamond In The Rough...Portrait Of The Artist As A Human Being...Care & Feeding Of A Good Idea (Volume 1) Overviews

Autobiography of the contemporary, visionary artist, world traveler, & imagineer David Alexander English...

The Unpolished Manuscript: Of A Diamond In The Rough...Portrait Of The Artist As A Human Being...Care & Feeding Of A Good Idea (Volume 1) CustomerReview

In his ambitious and hugely informative autobiography "the unpolished manuscript" David Alexander English writes at the beginning "in this case I don't even write my autobiography like other people"... I have a peculiar way of what some people would call "beating around the bush"... but what I like to call the smorgasbord approach to teaching or sharing information or telling a story".

A smorgasbord is a collection or variety of things... and wow, "the unpolished manuscript" is certainly this. Once I got used to David's unique style of writing and punctuation I was hooked. There is so much information offered so willingly in this book.

This is a candid story of David's life to date (2008) before and after his spiritual epiphany. Personally I'd say there's about three or four books in this one. It's an interesting and entertaining read. I prefer to think of it as a story that meanders like a deep cool river with many hidden depths... and I enjoyed my sail down David Alexander English's river! (There's a fantastic chicken recipe in the unpolished manuscript... I know because I cooked it the other day - yummmmmy- to coin a phrase of David's!).

David starts off by writing about his early years. And later years. His art. His family. David's drive to become financially independent and for his art to become financially viable. His first boyhood love, their amazing affinity and unfortunately brief friendship seems to have mapped his sometimes rocky relationships with the opposite sex since. David travels through the USA and describes his experiences. David's life involvement with the Rainbow Gathering and the efficient and effective engineering of every gathering is an amazing story in its own right. His honest and matter of fact description of the mind numbing stonewalling by certain authority figures who seem to be slightly afraid of large amounts of people gathering and react accordingly is an eye opener. David's absorbing Rainbow travels take him to such countries as Zambia, Australia, United Kingdom, Israel, Egypt, Hawaii to name but a few. David's mind boggling mathematics. Poetry. Meditations. His awesome artistic drive. His immense KNOWLEDGE.

"the unpolished manuscript" is like a fine wine... to be savoured slowly. The first half of the book jumps around quite a bit. The second half is more chronological. Fun, interesting, amazing, head shaking, tear inspiring, wondrous are just some of the words I'd use to describe this smorgasbord. I cannot label David. On the dust jacket of "the unpolished manuscript" David Alexander English describes his book as "autobiography of the artist, writer, poet, painter, sculptor, designer, cartoonist, astrologer, photographer, film maker, author, rainbow, burner, Virgo, Fire Rooster, world traveller, vagabond, free spirit, kite flyer, Frisbee master, professional dreamer, reiki master, visionary, imaginer, creative genius, spiritual guide, beach walker, body surfer, pilot/astronaut wannabe, crisis mechanic, amateur, philanthropist, sojourner/wanderer, divine metaphysician, lover, oracle, mirror, human being...." and yes, he is all of those.... and more. Don't be put off by the impressive size of the book. Take it a sip at a time. It's fun. Definitely worth the time and the read.

Lost in Space: The Fall of NASA and the Dream of a New Space Age

Lost in Space: The Fall of NASA and the Dream of a New Space Age Overviews

The daring, revolutionary NASA that sent Neil Armstrong to the moon has lost its meteoric vision, says journalist and space enthusiast Greg Klerkx. NASA, he contends, has devolved from a pioneer of space exploration into a factionalized bureaucracy focused primarily on its own survival. And as a result, humans haven’t ventured beyond Earth orbit for three decades. Klerkx argues that after its wildly successful Apollo program, NASA clung fiercely to the spotlight by creating a government-sheltered monopoly with a few Big Aerospace companies. Although committed in theory to supporting commercial spaceflight, in practice it smothered vital private-sector innovation. In striking descriptions of space milestones spanning the golden 1960s Space Age and the 2003 Columbia tragedy, Klerkx exposes the “real” NASA and envisions exciting public-private cooperation that could send humans back to the moon and beyond.

Lost in Space: The Fall of NASA and the Dream of a New Space Age CustomerReview

This is a book of anecdotes, many of which feature an anthropomorphized NASA as the villain. In the first few chapters this seems overdrawn, but then it becomes clear Klerkx doesn't entirely agree with the NASA-bashers he portrays, pointing out in "The Belly of the Beast" that there is "no 'NASA'; or rather, there are multiple 'NASA's", over which even the administrator has little control. Some NASA centers are particularly targets of Klerkx' concern. The most sympathetic portrait in the book is probably of Pascal Lee, Klerkx' SETI institute colleague, who has worked tirelessly with NASA staff and the Mars Society on Devon Island. For most of the rest of the space advocates, entrepreneurs, organizations and bureaucrats described here, one feels like shouting, "can't we all just get along?"

But there are legitimate grievances that trace one way or another to NASA as a self-protecting entity: the demise of Mir, the Industrial Space Facility, DC-X, the waste that was the SLI and X-33, the rise and fall (and rise again now?) of the Alternate Access to Space Station program, the treatment of Dennis Tito. Klerkx describes a disturbing pattern of NASA officially embracing potential innovators, only to later de-fund and bankrupt them. Klerkx discusses the general loss of the O'Neill vision of space development for all people, as opposed to the "virtual theme park" we have now. Most damning are Klerkx' details on the incestuous relationship between NASA and the two major contractors, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Current arrangements seem almost guaranteed to suppress innovation, rather than foster it. Ideally Klerkx sees innovation coming through growth of large numbers of smaller companies, but he also sees a vital role here for NASA as endorser, encourager, and provider of technology support. NASA needs to accept a lesser role than the full control of human spaceflight it has had; the lack of progress described in Klerkx' text leaves one almost depressed for the future.

The X-prize competitors, Kistler and Elon Musk's venture, SpaceHab, and many other small space companies are featured, along with Russian privatization efforts. A remarkable number of these small companies seem to be employing former NASA engineers or managers in one capacity or another; Klerkx describes the "brother-in-law" problem that seems to require direct NASA connections for a commercial venture to have any hope of success. Klerkx also describes the history of a number of Space advocacy organizations in some detail, including the National Space Society, Space Frontier Foundation, and the Mars Society.

Given the near comprehensive coverage I was a little surprised Klerkx left out some orgnanizations actually launching things - for instance the Planetary Society's Cosmos-1 solar sail. Perhaps no single person can be familiar with the entire worldwide range of government, commercial, and nonprofit space activities at this start of the twenty-first century. And things change fast enough that what we thought we knew may no longer apply. The gaps in Klerkx' book are perhaps less significant than the fact that, although Klerkx covers Columbia's loss and the accident report, the book was finished well before the January 2004 presidential vision statement.

Refocusing NASA should address Klerkx' criticisms, particularly if it helps change relationships with the private sector. But those working on changing NASA need to review this book if they want to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

It is a well known fact that marketers are increasingly approached for refunds. This is a very common event in the market. In general, approximately 25 to 10% of customers who buy products for a refund, what items you have purchased from you.

Your customers are able to return in an article calling for a variety of reasons, but the most common requests for reimbursement are usually when people stuff I had bought for the hype around us returnsaid, but not worth it after purchase. This calls for reimbursement to reduce the profits that you originally thought he had done. Therefore, you should be able to return and restitution to society as possible the reduction. This is:

Make sure you do not surround your products with too much undeserved hype. Here you will naturally be sold only on the positive attributes of the product, and I feel better than it really is, or talk versusall other products in the same group. If you let the product looks like it was the best thing since sliced bread, you are bound to upset the expectations of your customers from the product lot. If you do not meet these expectations, your subscribers want to return a product and request a refund. So in reality it is better to specify exactly what the benefits of the product you sell or at sea in the attempt, it seems too good. Be clear about what it offersNot promise I will not deliver the impact and to be able to. Just give the customer what you are sure that you can give them. This will increase their faith in your company and products and increase your business or goodwill. If you have a payment processor if e-mail to send an email to your subscribers, be sure to make it clear that their credit cards, which are made by your company into account. If you are a not yet, but use a third party, rather than as a provider of a payment processor, so mention inConfirm e-mail, name to what the revenue of your customers and credit card bills will be displayed. You can also use this important information on the download page or thank you for your site. Since the customer is no longer something to remind them to buy from another company, ask for a refund, and this leads to loss of business. Thus, by careful, you can reduce the demands for repayment. They have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page of your site, and to address major issues on this page.People lose business if they are not all e-mail to subscribers on a product you purchased, which is sent to the customer the answer, I want a refund.

You can share your mixes with people on the internet by opening an account and upload your mixes MySpace.com. You can also use an account with a provider of web hosting and host your own website and share your mixes to your site from people around them through a link that you download. These are just two brief examples. But the question is: how much money can you really mix well your sales online?

Well, I'll give you a project that you can change to suitTheir needs. This information is only a guide, or a set and help you make the right decisions for the marketing of your mixes online to make money. Take for example, say you are able to succeed, and you have your mix to listen to some friends. Suppose also, you are always positive feedback from friends about your skills and are now called upon to do some mix CDs for them.

Well, you may not know, but it has successfully marketed theirmix. All you need to do now, what you do offline, what are you doing to advertise online. One of the first things you should notice is that when others listen to your music can be started, a certain credibility. Credibility is the first important component to reach a conclusion. Without them, there is no way to prove your skills. People do not believe unless you can back up.

But now that you have a small following, you can put online your credibility. Ask your friends ifYou can talk to your site, how good your mix. Who will miss the opportunity to do so, because if you see quotes online, who wants to tell everyone else, they're creating a flow of visitors to your website and eventually get sold. But leave a step further.

Now that you have your website, you must have a PayPal account to accept credit cards so that users can buy your mix that you want even more visitors. What you need to do is giveaway a short version of the mix for long. So instead of full 60 minutes, mix to give them a mix of 15 or 20 minutes. All free. This is a good way to drive traffic to your website. But you need to speak.

Some of the best ways to get the word out about the mix is the message boards on other websites or websites that make DJ with music to go in order. You can still subscribe to Google AdWords and pay for the traffic on your site, as well as come. Or you can use Yahoo Search Marketing.These are just some examples of how the word out about your site and the new mix.

Another way to your mixes for sale on eBay. Even the building of trust is the key. If people who are legitimate and show the rave people buy your mixes online and eBay is another outlet for you to do just that. Creating an eBay account and to open the online store is easy to do. Just follow the guidelines of development for the site of eBay.

Finally, we want to make sure thatgive people the best quality product they can get. Making your mix as clean and professional as possible. Make sure you are getting the e-mail. You want to stay connected with viewers, so they know when to buy your next mix is available, or if you choose, it will be in vain.

I would also suggest to do with DJ services, customized to mix. Let your visitors and potential customers, that the songs they want in their mix CD and then theyCD mix to create and sell to them and other people. If you're in some of these samples and test creative marketing, you can sell, not just for your party, but also operating in the music community online.

For 247MixTapes.com for professional sound mix. Find an idea of how good the mix will go online with other DJs to compete.

Last Holiday/Sliding Doors/Failure To Launch [DVD] [1997] Review

Last Holiday/Sliding Doors/Failure To Launch [DVD] [1997] Overview

Last Holiday

Queen Latifah demonstrates her loose, easy charm in Last Holiday, a remake of the 1950 comedy with Alec Guinness. Though at first glance it's hard to imagine anyone less like Alec Guinness than Queen Latifah, they both communicate a world of inner thought with nothing more than a sly sideways glance. Georgia Byrd (Latifah), a department store employee, leads a life of frustrated desires--particularly for a bashful salesman from the outdoor furnishings department (LL Cool J, Deep Blue Sea). But when she learns she only has a few weeks left to live, Georgia gathers her money, quits her job, and flies to a swank European resort she's always dreamed of visiting. Naturally, her new carelessness with money and fearless candor lead everyone around her--including her senator (Giancarlo Esposito, Do The Right Thing) and her former boss (Timothy Hutton, Ordinary People)--to think she's a mover and shaker. Last Holiday unfolds the way you expect it to (dozens of movies and TV shows have similar plots), but Latifah and the capable cast keep it alive. Also featuring Alicia Witt (The Upside of Anger), Jane Adams (Happiness), and the ever-dependable Gerard Depardieu (Cyrano de Bergerac) as a passionate chef. --Bret Fetzer

Sliding Doors

Nice concept, shaky execution--that about sums up the mixed blessings of British actor Peter Howitt's intelligent but forgivably flawed debut as a writer-director. It's got more emotional depth than most frothy romantic comedies, and its central idea--the parallel tracking of two possible destinies for a young London professional played by Gwyneth Paltrow--is full of involving possibilities. It's essentially a what-if scenario with Helen (Paltrow) at the centre of two slightly but significantly different romantic trajectories, one involving her two-timing boyfriend (John Lynch) and the other with an amiable chap (John Hannah) who represents a happier outcome. That's the film's basic problem, however: The two scenarios are so romantically imbalanced (one guy's a total cad, the other charmingly sincere) that Helen inadvertently comes off looking foolish and needlessly confused. Still, this remains a pleasant experiment, and Howitt's dialogue is witty enough to keep things entertaining. It's also a treat for Paltrow fans; not only does the svelte actress handle a British accent without embarrassing herself, but she gets to play two subtle variations of the same character, sporting different wardrobes and hairstyles in a role that plays into her glamourous off-screen persona. --Jeff Shannon

Failure to Launch

The plot of Failure to Launch is utterly implausible, yet the movie is thoroughly fun. Tripp (laid-back Matthew McConaughey, Sahara, Dazed and Confused) is a 35-year-old man who still lives with his parents (Kathy Bates, Misery, and ex-quarterback Terry Bradshaw)--and they aren't happy about it. Eager to get him out of the nest, they hire Paula (Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker), a professional motivator who feigns relationships with boy-men so that their improved self-esteem will lead them to leave the nest. But Tripp's not the usual insecure shut-in Paula's used to, and as sparks fly, Paula finds herself losing her professional distance. This sort of set-up drove classic screwball comedies of the 1930s and 40s; once you embrace the absurdity, the movie zips along with a surprising balance of humour and bittersweet shadings. Failure to Launch gets a huge boost from the supporting performance of Zooey Deschanel (Elf) as Paula's housemate Kit--part sourpuss, part tomboy, and entirely sexy and winning. McConaughey and Parker have enjoyable chemistry and carry the movie well, but Deschanel is an oddball romantic-heroine-in-waiting. Also featuring Bradley Cooper (Alias) and Justin Bartha (National Treasure). --Bret Fetzer
