Good overview of TOC in a fictional applied scenario. The specific situations seemed a little contrived as did the character development, but that was not the point of the book. I have since purchased additional titles by the author and am reading them.

This was bigger than I expected, but is a wonderfully sturdy appliance and seems to charge the batteries quickly! I'd recommend it, particularly as new cameras consume batteries at such a rate. I'm about to invest in the rechargable C and Ds as well, since every hurricane season (Caribbean) we have to buy new batteries for flashlights, radios, etc, which end up dying before we even get to use them. Now that we have this charger, I only need to buy the rechargeable batteries ONCE! That's convenience and cost savings!

Folks, I've been around and I've eaten some nasty tasting things in my life. Heck, when I was in the Navy they served "USDA Grade F Beef:Suitable ony for animal or military consumption" (really).
