  • - How Losing Weight & Drinking Wine Changed My Life
    av Jackie Clark
    138,-

    Jackie Clark: Losing weight is easy with a decent diet. Controlling weight afterward is the problem, but not so for the author of this book, who discovered a way to understand precisely what she had to do to take complete control of her eating habits and continue to enjoy drinking wine for pleasure. She chose wine; however, it could have been chocolate, cakes, or any treat. A way that would free her from the health-hazardous weight she had carried for years. In this book, she shares her understanding of what it took to understand her problem and do something about it. She no longer goes from fat to almost thin. She is now permanently slim and is the size she wants to be, maintaining her size by following a few simple steps. Her weight has been stable for several years following this eating plan. In the pages of this book, she details every ounce of food she ate over six months. The weeks she gained weight are all included in this honest story. In devising her method of taking control, to free herself from closets of clothes that did not fit walks she found painful, and most of all, her love of swimming was limited due to lack of fitness. She consciously decided not to starve herself or give up her wine, chocolate, or eating-out pleasures. Throughout, she continued to enjoy her pleasures, albeit sensibly. She discovered the points at which she lost or gained weight, adjusting her food intake to suit. Read her story and find how anyone can take control of their eating habits and continue to enjoy the pleasures of food, including wine, with meals. Unlock the magic of the knowledge inside you, just as Jackie did, to improve your life. Reducing weight is a proven method of preventing many illnesses and conditions that can ruin the quality of life. Imagine walking, swimming, running, or just looking great in clothes you chose for looks and not merely because they fit. By reading this story, improve your health by taking control of your weight and size.

    Not unlike Lewis Carroll's young lady, Wayne Philips falls down a hole and enters a wonderland of machinery designed to safeguard the world from the possibility of becoming a lifeless lump of rock.The idea for this story came to me when I visited a lookout at Mt Archer near Rockhampton in Queensland I was told that if I released the hand-brake on my car it would slowly climb uphill and sure enough it happened. When I inquired if my informant knew the reason for this phenomenon I was informed vaguely that it was 'something in the ground'.I wrote the story to hopefully entertain those science fiction readers who are jaded with the idea that the main character has to be a super-hero with a super intellect.

  • - Oregon's First Pioneer
    av Jerry Sutherland
    148,-

    When Calvin Tibbets ventured to Oregon Country in 1832 it was looking more British than American. That's because Hudson's Bay Company, the Crown's proxy, had virtual control of the area and some of their French Canadian employees had retired to farms along the Willamette River. The only Americans there before Tibbets were explorers, fur trappers, scientists, and sailors. His goal was different: to settle Oregon with Americans and make it part of the United States.Tibbets got along with his Canadian neighbors and native tribes long enough to assist fellow American settlers when they arrived: first missionaries, then retiring mountain men, and finally wagon train pioneers who crossed the Oregon Trail in such great numbers that the British finally gave up their claims to Oregon in 1846. Unfortunately, Tibbets died soon after achieving his goal, and all that he had done to achieve it soon faded into the shadows of Oregon history.In making the case for Calvin Tibbets being considered Oregon's first pioneer, this book shines a bright light back on him. New details gleaned from original sources are integrated with previously published, but scattered, accounts of Tibbets' many adventures. Readers will likely learn things they didn't know about John McLoughlin, Jason Lee, Ewing Young, Bethenia Owens-Adair, Elbridge Trask, Joe Meek, Solomon and Celiast Smith, and others who played important roles in early Oregon.
