And Patrick is never faint of heart. Witty, wise, deeply moving - usually all in the same 1 act play. And you get 7 plays here. My ex still hasn't given this volume back, and I hardly have the heart to ask for it, as I wish hir all the best, and this is the best... OK, I've changed my mind, either put out or give me one of my favorite books back you cur!

So concludes a wisecracking AIDS recluse in the last of these hilarious and heartbreaking one-act plays. Each one covers a decade in the lives of American gay men, from the sophisticated closets of the 1920's through our grimmest hour in the 1980's. Patrick may see little progress toward liberation, whether political or personal. But each decade is etched specifically and urgently, by a master playwright. You'll shed many a tear over this one, half of them from laughter.

A great read for anyone looking at setting up replenishment across geographically spread sites. While most texts provide information on centralised warehousing supplying stores or plants, this book focusses on transferring stock from multiple locations. Great for today's internet retailing world !

I was looking for some light reading, and while the dust jacket description was silly, I read the book because I enjoy the WWI period, especially from the German side. The author kept the action moving, each chapter ending with a scene which reminded me of the old 1930's serials, except I didn't have to wait a week to find out what happened next. The pace of the action was fast, intelligent, and seamless. I wish Mr. patrick had written more. He is far above some of the action dribble I have tried to read, for example, Jeffery Archer. If you enjoy a good "spy novel: with lots of action, and a well thought out story line, I recommend this book.

This book was recomended by our local children's Librarian. It is a wonderful book of Hob, a small fellow, who lives with a family. Only the children can see him. He is up at night, guarding the households from the perils of temper, cough, mumps and hotfood.The children leave him a present every night as a reward. However, if they ever leave clothers, Hob will leave the house forever. The language is very British and quirky. The art work is magical. My 5 year old and I both loved both the proses, the poetry of the language and the art work. If you have a highly imaginative chold, this is a lovely book.

Ok, there is absoltuely NO denying the fact that Shakespeare is an awesome guy. Also, there is no denying that The Sonnets are gorgeous and intriguing. However, with the help of many FANTASTIC performers, there is NOW no denying that spoken sonnets are even better. Read by the stars, the sonnets have a new life to them- something inderscribable is added when they are read aloud by these voices. Kudos to (the one and only ) Brian Stokes Mitchell, who I particularly enjoyed, not only because I'm a huge fan of his, but because his voice lends itself extremely well to the words The Bard wrote. Great recording!

This is a very readable book. The essence of this book is proposed changes to the Social Security System and marriage/divorce laws to restore some of the incentives to get the neccesary work of caretaking of the children and the aged done.

With some very simple back-of-the-envelope calculations (She goes through the numbers in a bit more detail in an appendix), Burggraf makes clear the extent to which the Social Security system functions to socialize the benefits of a well-reared child while many of the costs of raising a productive citizen remain privatized. At the same time she also makes the point that the once-hidden opportunity costs of having a full-time parent at home are now quite apparent since women have the option of becoming lawyers, doctors and managers. The combination of these two features of our economic system provides a compelling incentive for both spouses to work and not to invest themselves in themselves in having or rearing children. The result is an entirely predictable decline in the parental resources devoted to children.

A second interesting and important point that Burggraf makes is that Social Security is not and has not for decades been a savings plan but a transfer payment system which (ideally) functions to provide for the persons who have lived beyond their working years. Other people have of course made the same observation, but Burggraf's treatment is atypical in that she argues that the transfer payment aspect is neither surprising or bad. Instead, she argues it is right and proper that it is right and proper for adult children to provide for their aged parents, but that the current system muddles this relationship. She notes that the way for a couple to maximize their Social Security benefits is not by investing themselves in their children (who will be paying the FICA and medicare taxes to support them) but to maximize their own earnings in the paid workforce and put little or no energy into child rearing.

One final point of her book which deserves mention is consideration of the point that "family wealth" for all but the richest Americans consists not of tangible assets but in the earnings power developed through years of education and experience in the paid workforce. In essence, she advocates bringing back some form of alimony payments which would continue for approximately the same duration as the marriage in order to give a caretaking parent some security in exchange for the loss of earnings power for forgoing the opportunity to develop one's own earnings power.

Burggraf proposes some interesting changes to the Social Security system and marriage/divorce laws in an effort to restore some of the traditional incentives to get the necessary work of care-taking of the young and old done.

an excellent and interesting book about the FDA
infomative and easy to understand.
Important truths revealed

To cite Meriwether Lewis as Editor of this and other volumes of this University of Nebraska Press edition, edited by Moulton, is an injustice to Moulton. Lewis' efforts never got beyond a pros- pectus. Further, to list Clark as merely a con- tributor, is unforgiveable.

For those who need to use the CMMI Continuous Representation, this handy pocket guide is as valuable as its companion for the Staged Model. Ralph Williams, an SEI Authorized CMMI Lead Appraiser and Transition Partner, hasn't overlooked anyone!

No matter where the process improvement professional may be, the "Mini-CMMI" can provide the needed reference to a goal or practice area. It's every bit as well organized as the Staged version. Personally, I have them both.
