CADInSite for Solid Edge: Drafting 101
Published in CD-ROM by Distance Engineering, Inc. (02 November, 2001)

Demonstration?
In this cd you will see a guy draw a simple part in Solid Edge
telling you what he is doing. BUT whitout no explanation whatsoever! If you can learn anything from that you found the right media. (The tutorial in Solid Edge will teatch you about 20 times as much)
Strange since Walter Silva's "Introduction to Solid Edge" is simply brilliant...

Handicapped in Walt Disney World:A Guide for Everyone
I'm sure this was a great book when it was published in 1993. However, there have been so many changes since then, this book is obsolete.
I recently purchased a book, Wheelchairs On The Go: Accessible Fun in Florida, that gives very detailed information on the theme parks. It has ride-by-ride access information, lists companion restrooms as well as helpful tips for physically disabled visitors. This guide is a must for anyone visiting Florida!


Odd Man Out: The Story of the Singapore Traitor
Published in Paperback by Trafalgar Square (1994)

With officers like this who needs enemies?
The English educated and trained Captain Patrick Heenan provided the Japanese with the kind of collaborator they could have only dreamed of. A meticulously planned onslaught down through Malaya was the essential preliminary to kicking in the unfortified backdoor of Singapore. Captain Patrick Heenan provided the Japanese with much of the intelligence they needed to ensure their operation proceeded successfully.

Heenan is one of history's lesser known traitors, but in terms of the consequences of his actions, one of its most hideous.

In this book, 'Odd Man Out,' Heenan provides the authors with a repellent central subject whilst they get on with their real motive for writing this book.

Elphick and Smith are merely the latest in a thankfully short line of writers who still surface trying to shift the blame for the fall of Singapore away from where history has already ascertained it belongs.

The British Command in Singapore failed to fortify its defences in Malaya in general, and the northern shore of the island of Singapore, in particular, despite repeated recommendations from their own staff. The British Generals inabilty to grasp the importance of this advice led directly to defeat and the loss of Singapore.

Churchill summed up the inadequate fortifications of Singapore with his famous statement "It's like launching a battleship without a bottom"

The depths to which the authors are willing to descend in their attempt to salvage the credibility of that battleship only highlights the fact that it has no bottom.

Works by Elphick in particular feature selective information and context, poor research, assumption, and ommission. Elphick's overt attempts to besmirch the efforts of the allied companions-in-arms, the Australians, reminds the reader of one of the bickering, petty-minded and counter-productive British Officers of colonial Singapore, 1942. A time when our archaic British class system was still commissioning officers based on social standing rather than ability and character.

Captain Patrick Heenan being a prime example.

This books inglorious subtext makes it an affront to the truth.

It's an affront to the comrades-in-arms who died defending Singapore, and each other.

But more than anything else, it is so dull and uninspired, it's an affront to the tradition of writing.
