Taking the blinders off
355660
What is so refreshing about Gagnon's book is his willingness to engage all scholars who present a rational view of the issue at hand, whether in agreement or disagreement with the author's views.  Some other reviewers have failed to recognize Gagnon's fairness to dissenting viewpoints; the truth of the matter is that Gagnon's treatment is fair and unbiased.  Also true is the reality of his overpowering reasoning and logical persuasion. Gagnon has developed a mature and academically rigorous point of view and I would love to see any dissenting reviewers or scholars try to take him on in debate format.  Gagnon's thinking and presentation are so thorough and so compelling that any reasonable person must either be swayed to a consenting position or stick their head in the sand of popular culture and Politically Correct mumbo-jumbo.  This book is a must read for anyone who does not have their head in the sand; this book rips the blinders off and strips away the rhetoric.  Fortunately, the book is also an enjoyable read, particularly the chapter on hermeneutics.

By reading this book, you will realize how people are blind to their own ways of thinking.  Also, don't let just anyone read this.. You will know what I mean after reading the 1st chapter.

Installed the mirrors, and the blind spots are gone on my car.  The driving is now safer, easier, and more pleasant.  As for the parkings, their help is miniscule.

However, please remember that I only report my experience, so be careful with your driving, please.  Don't relay that the blind spots will neccessary go away on your car also.

Never used one of these before and was a little confused the first time. However, bring into focus, you still see the sensor appearing out of focus, but that isn't what you're looking at. It the surface of the sensor and you can clearly see the little specks that you want to remove. Go over the instructions as they explain it better than I have.

I picked up a pair of these pretty cheap a couple weeks back and after some heavy use I'm happy with the purchase.  They do a great job of cutting down eye strain on Tablets, PS Vita and playing console rpgs where you're reading an squinting a lot.  I don't think they are worth $100, be patient and wait for them to be on sale for under $50.  Worth it then.

This is a must read... I will continue to think about this book... even take blinders off my own eyes I didn't realize were there.

I did switch back and forth several times to be able to really 'get' what this thing does. It's not a 'huge' difference, but it basically gets rid of some of the black area you see when you have your eye all the way up to the rubber eye piece on the original eye piece. Wearing glasses with it is difficult, you won't be able to see everything like you used to.

EDIT: I have left this on camera for 3 months now, I still like it.  It gives just a tad more zoom in the eye piece and helps with manual focusing.  I now do not mind having to get my eye right up to the eye piece to see the whole frame.  At first it was a tad annoying not having the extra eye relief that the normal eye piece gives.

Walking out of the DARK, ISBN: 9780993240201, a novel based on a true story in e-book by Steven R, Mailkowski,
Mike, the protagonist, is a young man in his twenties who has moved from his rural home to the city to attend a school for the blind. The move has been recommended because, although he still has marginal vision, he has been told it gradually will fade. To save money his residence is a rather run-down hotel/boarding house peopled by druggies and prostitutes among others. It is cheap and close to school, however. The story follows Mike and his activities as he interacts with Ruby, an interesting resident of his hotel, Margaret, his first teacher, George, a somewhat older fellow student who was an auto mechanic, Norman, a former football coach, Samantha (Sam) a lovely younger teacher and others as well as some of their friends and/or acquaintances.
Discussion: The author has provided a quite engrossing look at the activities of sightless individuals. The thought and practice that is required for the simplest activity and how the slightest wrong or not well-thought-out move could cause a problem that could range anywhere from amusing to complete disaster. The entire tale is absorbing and is set forth in an intriguingly light up-beat manner that glosses over the devastating effect that the sightless person must experience and avoids much of the downside' per se and the more obnoxious individuals who no doubt are encountered. Instead it focuses on the statement: There are a lot of things you can do in a bad situation; try to choose something that doesnt make it worse. It concentrates on the tremendous strength, fortitude and humor exhibited by the affected individuals and even describes some of the physical games devised for and by the blind for entertainment  games ranging from a type of baseball called Beep Ball to such dangerous sports as downhill ski racing where the skier is followed by another with sight who, when approaching the flags, shouts to a blind watcher that it is time to vigorously shake a tambourine so the blind skier will know the flag has been reached so as to make the appropriate turn.
Conclusion: This book is a worthwhile read that provides a number of insights into the world of sightlessness that demonstrates existence of a degree of resilience, hope and humor that is amazing.

Does a fantastic job of viewing your blind spots. It does have a little bit of vibration but I didn't feel that it was enough to change my rating of 5 stars.

I really like this mirror.  It helps a lot with the blind spots in my truck.  It does take a little getting used to because objects appear to be farther away than they are.  But it doesn't take long to get used to that and it's a lot better than not seeing that car comming up along side of you.

An intriguing book that helps you understand that often our leadership decisions are influenced by the way we observe and process input. By recognizing that blind spot, Mr. Scharmer teaches us how to shift our focus so that we can make better decisions. Woven throughout the book are examples and stories from both history and Mr. Scharmer's personal experiences, which help bring the main idea home in a practical way.

There are several books in my local library about low vision and vision loss.  This was the ONLY ONE in an easy-to-read large print format.  As far as the other books--if you needed them you wouldn't be able to read them!

These work great for those of us who have failing sight and also for the blind. I have started using for myself and also for my blind students. A trick I have discovered for ease of threading, especially for the blind, is to put the needle into a bar of soap first and then both hands are free to hang onto the thread and push into the top of the needle.

These glasses are great for going over prescription glasses but the drawback is that they create a huge blind spot on the sides for driving - I only wear them when I am the passenger in a car.  I would recommend these glass but suggest you look for a style that has open side bars for your peripheral vision.
