This book was started about getting down to the basics about not just how to make a roux but how to overcome the barriers everyone faces in their daily life, that is, overcoming the doldrums of an exhausting daily routine and allowing some breathing room so you can advance yourself and your interests when you would otherwise feel you are barely getting by. There is advice on budgeting, kitchen tips and hacks, and even some information about how to better take care of yourself. Hopefully, someone will find something helpful in here. As for the expansive section on getting around in the kitchen, you can learn some things about cooking, only just don't expect any recipes! This is a handbook, a handbook for higher living. Escape the routine!
Captain Raferty Hawkins, the Duke of Black Hallow and consort to Queen Alexis I, has two big challenges. There is a blood contract out on him and Killian O'Hare. The money is coming from the Aurora Empire, but the operators are near at hand in the Badlands. The second problem is less immediate but has greater consequences for the universe. The Goldenes Tor military is about to overthrow their emperor and enter the war in support of the Orion Confederation against the Aurora Empire. Such an event would mean defeat for the Zekes.The pirate leader decides to focus on the latter problem while letting his allies handle the former problem. His Badlands comrades are used to such situations as someone has been trying to kill them for the majority of their lives. Destiny Flores, Tactical, Baby Doll, and the two hit men, Shelby Pope and Jackson Kemper, make a formidable group regardless of the threat. Now they will search for the people who are administering the contract. Once found, they will be dealt with in the usual way such problems are handled in the Badlands: ruthless violence administered with vengeance.The blood contract is being funded by members of the peerage within the Aurora Empire. These elites know this is their best chance to get Hawkins and O'Hare before these two would-be contemporaries can become forces within Aurora upper society at the war's end. Queen Alexis intends to bring these instigators to justice. Unfortunately for the guilty peers involved, the punishment will not be the usual slap on the wrist reserved for members of the ruling class who stray outside of the law. Alexis loves her consort and has no intention of letting this slide. With the aid of media mogul David Van Drucker, Alex will dish out her own brand of justice. It will not be violent, but it will be just as effective in ending the threat.Meanwhile, Hawkins addresses the bigger problem. If Emperor Viktor Aurick is taken by the traitors within the Goldenes Tor Imperial Staff, the attack on the Aurora Empire would immediately follow. Despite knowing of the attack, the Royal Navy does not have the ships to defeat such a massive onslaught. The longer the emperor stays free, the longer the attack is delayed. The emperor turns to Hawkins for help in retrieving his throne. Hawkins searches for allies to bring to the cause. He is under no illusion that allies will join him to help create a better universe, but they will join for money or other favors that the emperor can grant. Hawkins directs the recruitment of the greedy, the needy, and anyone else with a warship and ordnance for this fight.Captains Killian O'Hare, Shane Delacruz, and Dylan Whitlock do their parts to achieve the goals of Pirate Flotilla One as ongoing missions are concluded and old scores are settled. This may be the last time such an occasion will present itself, and revenge cannot be put off until tomorrow.Old enemies become new allies as a threat that could take them all down must be defeated.
The book, although randomly organized, describes many things about the life journey of the author before, during, and after his discharge from the United States Air Force and his emphatic disapproval of the term African American to describe all black people. The author believes the term African American limits the overall progress of black people in general and that whites born in Africa, now living in the United States, can also be called African American, defeating the reasoning behind the African American Summit, where the term African American was said to be endorsed by five prominent black people against the approval and rights of black people in general.

The production of Athearn Trains models has been very well-documented in several books over the years, even since its quite early days. In this work, the progression of the company's advertising is likewise well-documented. Since 1947, there have literally been thousands of pages of advertising presented to magazine readers. The Illustrated History of Athearn Advertising brings out the many styles of ads, the most colorful, and likely some of the best brought to the attention of model railroaders everywhere. This work is the result of years of scouring the many ads printed in many model railroading magazines since the founding of Athearn Trains. The selected pages of advertising shown in these pages share the many messages detailing the virtues of Athearn models and in many cases follows the pricing of their models over the years. The very first work documenting Athearn advertising from the very beginning through the company's seventieth anniversary, this book is a must-have for all model railroaders for deeper insight into the history of Athearn advertising, and the company itself.

Saint Charles is a small community in Bear Lake Valley. The town sits on the Idaho-Utah border just off Highway 89 and is the inspiration for our fantastical place called Windy Ridge. The story takes place in the fifties. An American family with Scottish roots built their homes in a mountain valley at the top of Jacob's Canyon Road. There are six houses: Mountain House, Grandma and Grandpa's cottage named Kings X by the kids, Castle Rock, River Rock Place, Glass Tower, and Lutz Lake House. There are six main characters who are close cousins: Chrystal, Alex, Reigny, Glitter, Windy, Snowy, and Ismond, commonly known as the Ridge Kids. Most of their adventures start or end on Windy Ridge. The mountain loves the family and provides for it. Summer has boating on the blue, blue water of Bear Lake; autumn brings the dancing scarecrow and fireworks; winter has skiing, snowshoeing, skating, and mystery; and spring brings reflection and redemption. Windy Ridge is the beloved home of their collective youth. They find love and security there as well as adventure and danger as they choose to travel forbidden roads.

This book is about a man who has a heart for the things of YAH and how YAH was with him wherever he went in this life. He had an extraordinary military career, retiring as an E7 (sergeant first class) with many military awards. He was a military postal inspector for five and a half years over Europe, Middle East, and Africa.He learned that the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments deals with honoring YAH on the day He set aside for us to honor Him. Mr. Gooden believes it to be the test commandment. YAH has caused this man to ride upon the high places of the earth (see Isaiah 58:13-14).How as a child, he asked for these three things from YAH, and He granted his requests in a mighty way: (1) He asked to go to Jerusalem, and he has been there four times. (2) He asked to be a man after YAH's own heart. YAH allowed him to go to the tomb of King David with his son, John David. (3) He asked YAH for wisdom, and He granted his request.Mr. Gooden prayed and laid hands on three people that were near death and they recovered. YAH answered in a mighty way. One individual recently celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. He has spoken into the lives of three people who were in secret societies by telling them to confess their sins to YAH before they died. How he was able to locate his wife's aunt in another country (Germany) and how he found the exact room number in the hospital she was in and his wife was able to talk with her before she died.Here is just one of the stories where he received a word of knowledge to check his car after it had been serviced and found that his brand-new alternator had been stolen. He received a better alternator, and his PCM computer was installed for free. How he was able to find and fix a leak in a waterline buried three to five feet below the ground in a forest of trees. He has many stories to show that YAH has been working in his life. He hopes everyone that reads this book will be blessed by reading it. YAH is alive and so are His Words.When you read this book, it will cause your faith to soar! This isn't false advertisement. This is the real McCoy!This book is offered to YAH as an offering of His goodness to anyone who puts their trust in Him. Mr. Gooden refuses to offer to YAH something that cost him nothing!This book is loaded with many stories of how YAH has worked in this man's life.

From thoughts and words arranged on a sheet of paper, these words pushed with feelings, and overlaid in emotions. Actions and reactions, life takes on a new direction. Moments addressed in time. The gourmet of words to feed on. More thoughts, more dreams. The passing of the older generation and lacing words together to draw understanding. Reaching inward to draw on the blackness of my mind to share the gourmet of words to feed on. Time served in America. The truths and the untruths. And I am still writing backward. To wonder where I am from. How clear is it to see where you are going? And tomorrow will not be here until twelve o'clock. All the engagement between the pen and paper, black ink placed upon white sheets of paper, and at times thinking like Thomas Darwin, black crows and white swans placed in the same pond. The effects of matching the right colors, that we have the perfect room. And yet those are times when questions are asked but the answers never came. When did a black man realize that he was a black man, seeing things in a different way, but looking at the same thing? History with all its curves and turns, the past, the present, and the future. I find myself locked with in these words and feelings and covered in emotions. And at the same time the clear color of tears are the same tears, for happiness or sadness.
