Chapter 15 Swiss Milkmaids Mountain Geneva, Switzerland Hole 14 The view from atop the mountain was awe inspiring. The gallery stared at the players as if they were wannabe gods at the gates of Mount Olympus. The Score Keepers shouldered their way through the crowd to the platform at the tee area. Lexi shouted like a heroic cheerleader through a megaphone with the Red Cross symbol painted on it, "Welcome to the 14th hole of the world golf tour. It is 2,345 yards long and a par 6. The hole is not particularly difficult as it may first appear. Once you get accustomed to the awesome view of the valley, it is simply a matter of a firm stroke with the proper club selection." Dixie held her own megaphone aloft as she bellowed sweetly, "Please be cautious on the slope today. Be sure of foot and no one should get hurt. I know from experience that instinct can trick you. Maneuver your style to compensate for the capricious mountain winds." Lexi amended her speech, "We are honored to have the heroic Dog Corps of the Swiss Red Cross on hand. The brave ladies will be our official Spotters along the entire length of this magnificent fairway of snow and ice." The cheering of the crowd on the mountain and at the chalet sounded like peels of thunder from heaven. The Saint Bernards barked in time with the chanting men and women. The patriotic word that the people kept saying over and over again was AM... ER... I... CA. After winning the coin toss, Macdonald stepped to the tee. He had a driver that he called a shillelagh. It had a thick shaft like a baseball bat made of hand polished mahogany. The dusky face of the club was very irregular. It ...

Blackmar-Diemer Games 8: Gambit Accepted and Declined (Sawyer Blackmar-Diemer Gambit) by Tim Sawyer (4 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Blackmar-Diemer Games 8 books has 182 games through 2018. It's a companion to author Tim Sawyer chess books Blackmar-Diemer Games 1, 2 and 5. Notes discuss chess situations, players, game issues, styles, stories, opinions, passions, anecdotes, commentary, and theory. The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is sound on a practical level. It wins at a higher winning percentage than the average opening. Tim Sawyer won about 2000 games with the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. Players have sent me their games for many years and told me how much fun it is to win with the BDG. This is exciting chess! Know what it feels like to win. Make your chess fun! These games were played in rated tournaments, in correspondence play, or in online blitz competition. All analysis has been done by chess engines, which is typical of all the author's chess books written in this century. Tim Sawyer has written books on the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit since 1992. The opening served him well. Ken Smith pointed out that playing gambits is a helpful step in the development of your opening repertoire. When you play a gambit, you always have an element of risk and a likelihood of success. You sacrifice your material as an investment that you hope will pay you dividends in the sense of excellent winning chances. It worked for me. You might enjoy it too!

Chapter 8 Happy Haunting Grounds Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Hole 7 The foursome met near the tee with their caddies. They stood and waited for the outcome of the coin toss to see who would have the honors to go first. The Score Keepers moved to the high ground and raised their hands to command silence. Dixie and Lexi faithfully said a silent prayer before they announced the statistics of the hole Lexi began, "Hole number seven of the world tour is six hundred and sixty seven yards long with a par five. It is an unknown legendary course that may one day become a classic among the nations. There is little more to say that is not already apparent. The great distance of the hole demands great accuracy and even greater finesse. The green adorns the crest of a seaside cliff that is located one hundred and sixty six feet above the sea. It rests cheek to cheek with the ruins of an ancient Ceylon fortress that acts as a millennial old clubhouse." Dixie took up the discourse as she said, "According to Captain Sandy, this merciless hole has yielded only three birdies since its conception. I would normally wish you good luck. But for this hole, you will need to pray for a miracle."

This chapter from my upcoming epic novel features the greatest men and women players from the Golden Age of Golf on a world tour of the most fantastic holes ever imagined! It is an exotic blend of Indiana Jones action and pulp fiction adventure laced with mystery and romance. Lexi climbed onto a short platform supplied by Herr Henkell before she announced, "Welcome to the incredible Roman arcade hole. It is 495 yards long and a par 5. The fairway is a Roman aqueduct that spans a canyon. The tee is a platform one thousand feet above the deep valley." Dixie climbed up too and then she proclaimed loud and strong, "The players must strike with a downward angle so that the ball enters the giant stone trough. Be careful that it does not bounce out. It is impossible to play the hole in the valley below the four tier aqueduct. I have it on good report that the valley floor is inhabited by carnivorous reptiles." Hage stood shoulder to shoulder with his partner as he said, "Only a bunch of numbskull Nazis would import killer crocodiles as a hazard for their own golf course." The Score Keepers had decided that it would be fun for the players to play in alphabetical order. So that placed the team of Wild Bill and Woody at the back of the pack along with their current opponents Robby and Hage. The timing was very fortuitous. No sooner had the other teams teed off and then they lost their patience. Aiming at the aqueduct was like trying to thread a needle while balancing on the top of a zeppelin. The men got so frustrated that they began to invent new cuss words. They dared not offend their secret host Mr. Hitler or their armed caddies.

Lexi shouted with authority, "Welcome to the16th hole of the world golf tour. It is 306 yards and a Par 3. There is only one path to success here. You must put your faith in the old maxim that all shots break toward the water. Bear that in mind and then your score might not result in disaster." Dixie reveled in the attention as she yelled with her angelic sing song voice, "The South African Country Club's best hole is the world's biggest and longest sand trap. The tee is grassy and the green is too. But the one hundred foot wide fairway is a mile long stretch of golden shoreline. One more thing has been brought to my attention. There have been snake sightings on the shore this morning. So beware if you see a stick moving across the sand toward you. It will probably be a cobra."

The Rebbe of Szczuczyn’s Yeshivah Chesed Shel Emet: A Book of Revelations by Steffy Sota Price verified 4 hours ago

I am a ghost writer. I was born in Szczuczyn, Poland on January 26, 1839; and I died in Grodno, Poland on September 15, 1933. I had a shop selling household provisions that my wife managed. However, the business was not successful, and I turned to teaching in order to support myself and my family. From 1864 to 1869, I taught Talmud in Minsk and Washilishok. I served as the town rabbi of Radin for a short period. I resigned from this position to establish the Yashivas Chaim in Szczuczyn. My first book Seeker of Life dealt with the Biblical laws of gossip and slander. Guarding of the Tongue is a comprehensive discussion of the Jewish concept of the power of speech. Clarified Teachings is a commentary on Jewish Law. Explanation of the Law contains analyses of Halachic rulings. Gate of Distinction clarifies ambiguous statements of Jewish Law. This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen is a collection of tales based on my imprisonment at Auschwitz. The Rebbe of Szczuczyn's Yeshivah Chesed Shel Emet is about the university I founded. A discussion of lashon hara (derogatory speech about another person) usually assumes that the prohibition is rooted in the damage that it causes. But what damage do we cause ourselves by owning up to our own negative character traits? I am thinking of people who go beyond proper teshuvah (atoning for their sins) and habitually run themselves down. It is this constant negativity toward oneself that is forbidden because being overly self-critical is a slight against God, the Creator who made us. It's one thing to take honest stock of who we are; it's quite another thing to run ourselves down all the time (even if the charges are mostly true) without simultaneously appreciating what is good, decent, and even Godly within us. The self-directed lashon hara of speaking overly negatively about ourselves ignores the reality of God that forms the essence of every living soul. In life, I was a modest and humble man. I did Justice; I loved ...

Left on Paradise by Kirk Adams (20 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Before Portland, there was Paradise. Following the stolen presidential election of 2000, 102 intrepid progressives, led by self-absorbed Hollywood star Ryan Godson and his kind-hearted wife Kit Fairchild, make good on their threat to abandon a corrupted society still under the spell of Puritan fanatics, Yankee traders, and southern slavers. Now, a new society will be founded: a new country among the nations. This will be a land in which feminists, liberals, environmentalists, multiculturalists, pacifists, socialists, communists, communitarians, and progressives of every persuasion will remain unthwarted by the opposition and oppression of Republicans, social conservatives, and constitutionalists. Left on Paradise is a sweeping epic about a band of idealists who have forsaken family and friend to build a perfect word on a remote island in the south Pacific. From the thrill of first hope to the brink of deadly catastrophe, Kirk Adams relentlessly puts the band of idealists in a world in which they can live out the iron logic of their beliefs and dreams -- unencumbered by conservative resistance or religious restraint. Yet, they bring to Paradise the moral limits of their own ideals and character and soon find that they themselves have brought evil to their Eden. With riveting twists and turns in the plot that mirror contemporary (and historical) American political experience, the author shares political fiction that speaks to the cultural questions and divisions that contemporary Americans face, even as he offers a vision of what must not be sought. It's May 2001 and the band of political pilgrims have sailed to a remote island in the Pacific to found a new country: a true State of Paradise. Numbering the same as the settlers of Plymouth and Jamestown, the idealists have marched straight out of the 1960s to build the Great Society suspended by Nixon, Reagan, and the Bush family. These pilgrims will show the world what it means to be Left on Paradise -- or so they ...

1997 remembered by Paul Hirons (5 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

1997 was a year worth remembering. Among its many gifts to us were Tony Blair, the death of Princess Diana and the Young British Artists, including a young Damien Hirst. In this comedy memoir, we're introduced to Martin, a troubled, downtrodden man, who launches himself into 1997 like there's no 1998. When he turns up at the Glastonbury Festival in June, he's hopelessly unprepared for the muddiest festival ever and what it's about to throw at him. Set against a backdrop of iconic music and the dying days of Britpop, we're whisked through the year via extracts from Martin's scabrously funny journal. His running commentary is cynical, jaundiced, scathing, mocking, brazen, sweary, ribald, unfeeling, recalcitrant and opinionated - and that's on a good day! As the year unfolds, he lurches from one disastrous situation to the next, ruining relationships and antagonising the people around him. As his demeanour darkens and his behaviour deteriorates, the people around him try to see the funny side. Are they laughing with him? Or at him? When he emerges from the wreckage of Glastonbury, only one question remains - who's going to save him from himself?

Roger Corman: A Biography: King of the B's (Hourlong Press) by Hourlong Press Price verified 7 hours ago

The King of the B's Roger Corman. The name conjures visions of outlandish creatures, campy dialogue, and blood-soaked thrills. But Corman's story is far richer than mere B-movie schlock. He was a maverick who thrived on the fringes of Hollywood, a rebel who defied the studio system and, in the process, launched a cinematic revolution. In this book, we'll look into his meteoric rise, from a wide-eyed student to a director churning out films at a breakneck pace. We'll explore the iconic low-budget genre flicks that cemented his reputation as the "King of the B's," films that dared to push boundaries and entertain with gleeful abandon. But Corman's legacy extends far beyond campy horror and sci-fi. He was a shrewd businessman who mastered the art of filmmaking on a shoestring budget, a mentor who nurtured the talents of future Hollywood heavyweights like Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. His influence on American cinema is undeniable, a testament to his creative vision and entrepreneurial spirit. So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready to experience the wild ride that is Roger Corman's Hollywood.
