What's the saying... the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. How about three someones.I didn't expect the hot stranger who helped me face my ex to end up being an NHL Player and be interested in me. I really didn't expect his two teammates to also be interested in me.These men, they look at me like I'm everything they've ever dreamed of.Now I have all three men wanting my attention.And I want them all.Unfortunately, it might not be that simple. When it comes down to it, the hot nights, whispered words, and strong emotions might not be enough.I just hope that at the end of it all it will have been worth it.

A Next Big Idea Club Must-ReadA compelling and accessible new perspective on the modern science of psychology, based on one of Yale's most popular courses of all timeHow does the brain?a three-pound wrinkly mass?give rise to intelligence and conscious experience?

Where did Italo-Hungarian sabre fencing come from? It's not JUST Barbasetti...The Hungarians dominated Olympic sabre fencing for the majority of the 20th century. It is well-known that Radaelli's northern-Italian lineage became dominant in Austro-Hungarian fencing, under the immensely skilled tutelage of Barbasetti (and later, the Santellis). But little has been said about the Hungarian fencing-masters themselves and how they adapted the Radaellian sabre lineage to fit their own ideas. For the first time, the sabre fencing manual of Károly Leszák, primary sabre instructor at the prestigious Ludovica Military Academy, is made available in English. A must-read for historical fencers wishing to understand the evolution of Italo-Hungarian fencing, and for modern Olympic fencers curious where their methods come from.

The main purpose of this book is to demonstrate and guide karate-ka to the realization that there is so much more depth to the punching, kicking, bruising, and sore muscles years of training. This book is meant to be taken with you to the dojo, gym, or wherever you train. Let this manual be your workbook for deeper studies as you explore and improve your karate.I intend to do this by using one of, if not the best, karate systems to enlighten the students and teachers. I have used the Uechi-Ryu katas as a road map to show how effective karate can be if practiced correctly and most importantly accurately. My intention is not to change your style or convert you over to the Uechi-Ryu system, but my hope is that you will use the same thought process to explore the depths of your own training and system."Speed is fine, but accuracy is final." (roughly quoting Wyatt Earp)

Marty Donnellan has worked as a professional roller skating coach. She has taught scores of people the art of indoor skating, and many others how to improve their skating. "Teach Someone to Roller Skate" is a complete curriculum for a four- to six-week beginning indoor roller skating course for all ages. Most of the illustrations picture students on quad skates, but most of the basic positions, postures, and techniques described apply equally to quad skates, inline skates, and ice skates.

Within the pages of this book, you will find a detailed approach to teaching a Match Up Zone Defense that has twice the state of Texas in scoring defense.Using man-to-man principles within the concept of a zone defense, Coach Biddison takes you through a step by step process of not only how to run the defense, but how to teach it. In a sense, the Flex Match-Up Zone takes the very best of the man-to-man techniques and combines them with the best zone principles to form a defense that often times confuses the offense. This defense rotates, or flexes, to take on a different shape every time the ball moves or players positions change.The fact that sometimes it appears as a 1-2-2, other times as a 1-3-1, and still other times as a man-to-man defense, literally takes the offense out of their comfort zone.
