Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

Study Guide Review: 3,000 Solved Problems In Chemistry (Schaum's Outlines) 1st Edition

 


This is a very good resource to help you get through the two semesters of a college-level General Chemistry course. It will also help in a high school chemistry course, or an intro to chemistry course. It has problems from all of the main topics you would be exposed to in one of those classes, including an intro to Organic Chemistry and Nuclear Chemistry which you tend to get toward the end of the second semester of General Chemistry if you have to take it.

Keep in mind this is a problems guide. It is not meant to be, nor is it good for, actually trying to learn the fundamental concepts. It does have some very bare-bones explanatory material, but it is not as extensive as you would see in the chapter text of a textbook or in supplements that are geared more to teaching the theory. But, this will give you examples of nearly every possible type of problem you will be exposed to either as a homework problem or on an exam or quiz. So, if you get stuck on homework you will very likely find an analogous problem in this guide that can help you out. So, you are in the unfortunate position of having a teacher you do not understand and cannot follow the explanations and examples in a textbook very easily, this is a good resource to use.
