Simplify makes a few good points, but it is clearly written from the vantage point of a very privileged man talking to other very privileged people. It does not speak to the very real problems that disempowered poor and otherwise oppressed people face. I find it problematic that a highly respected church leader writes a Simplistic book for people who, in the big picture of suffering, systemic subjugation and injustice, have little to worry over. To quote Hybels, "Really?" Let's talk about "level three" issues, please--like Jesus did.

I have used FTM since the early 90's-- & have upgraded several times. I found it easy to use & loved the product. I have even purchased it as gifts for others. However, last year I ordered the 2010 version but didn't open it for a few months. When I did, I found out it wouldn't load. After an hour or more on the phone with FTM HELP, it was determined the disk was bad. So, they sent me a 2011 version & charged me again. Well, the 2011 disk won't work either!! One section of File D would not load, no matter what I tried.

Painted my rashed up wheels (after much filling and sanding). Got two cans for four wheels, and should have got three. Two worked but three would have made me more comfortable. The only advice I can give is make sure your prep work is longer than the actual painting. If so you did it right. Looks superb and when I feel like a new color I will be doing it again.

I used this kit to try to join a few finished pieces of oak. The pieces, despite being locked down to my workbench pretty tightly, torqued out of alignment when I tried to screw them together. The jig itself works fine and the drilled holes line up very nicely but something is amiss in the way the screws bite. The included instructions are well done and worth the few minutes needed to review. I'm not sure if there is anything that I can use this for if I cannot get the pieces to join smoothly.

This software works like a dream. I have no idea how but this software works better with my wacom tablet than any other. Been using adobe photoshop since 1999, and for actually drawing, this has it beat. A must for anyone who loves drawing and wants to be able to do digital work.
