Dave McClure is on a plane to Alaska in early winter, having quit his job with the FBI and turned his back on the world. It's been a year since the horrific accident that claimed his wife and son, and McClure is still unable to move beyond his grief. Remembering the joy he once shared with his wife on vacation in Alaska, he heads north... seeking solace and resolving to either put his painful past behind him or succumb to the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. Instead, McClure finds a grisly scene in the forest-the body of a hunter whose throat has been cut ear to ear. And that's only the beginning. In Snow Men-equal parts international thriller and wilderness survival-McClure uncovers a cache of nuclear weapons and a Russian-Iranian plot to wipe the nation of Israel off the map. With only a hunting rifle, a pistol, and a few days worth of supplies, Dave McClure not only faces Russian Special Forces and the harsh reality of nature, but discovers a will to live he didn't know he still had. Spanning locales in Alaska, Paris, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Thailand, and Washington, DC, Snow Men is a stunning thriller set against the pristine beauty of Alaska's rugged Wrangell-St. Elias wilderness.

It will kill about 50-100,000 Americans in the next 12 months and most will never "see" it coming. By the time one Googles "The clot in my lung," 10% will die before the webpage is fully loaded and that is with a speedy WIFI connection. Medusa's Clot discusses from lamb to loom a disease of which 80% of people are unaware. Hard to believe as there are approximately 4.9 million Internet hits on the subject. It is known as PE, short for pulmonary embolism. The book also discusses peripherally the deracinated healthcare system along with the roles of science and faith in disease and in health. The subject which is couched in humor, spirituality, and history brings to life an entity that surreptitiously continues as Mary Shelly had written in Frankenstein, "To glut the maw of death."

When you hear someone mention "the Ten Commandments," of what do you think? Perhaps you conjure up an image of Moses-or Charlton Heston-coming down Mount Sinai, stone tablets in hand. Or maybe you think of that ancient seraphim-clad box in the "Raiders" film with streaming flashes of light and melting Nazi faces. But whatever your image, what's in the box itself probably holds no more interest for you than you would have in enduring the Egyptian plagues or being dropped into a snake-pit! But consider this: no single set of laws has had a more direct and enduring influence on Western Civilization than these ten words. That's a fact! The Jewish nation alone has built its religious character and identity on them. And then on a more personal level, you should know that Christ Himself insisted on these standards as a basis for participation in his Kingdom (Matthew 5:17f.; 19:17). God's ten timeless words are "the key to human happiness." God gave these directions that we might have "life" with Him. They are designed to guide us into an experience of blessedness both in this life and the life to come. Or you can look at it this way: If you want to avert the spiritual "plagues" which afflict those who refuse to heed God's truth and to avoid descending into the "snake-pit" of the world's moral chaos, but instead desire true spiritual health, deliverance, and eternal life; then these ten timeless words are for you.

I knew that DanceKinesis was the missing dimension in Ballroom and Latin dance training and performing, but I needed to put it into a format that would be most helpful to dancers. I sought the opinions of many social and professional dancers world-wide, and, now, this world-class body, movement, and dance training system is the tried and proven result of their responses. DanceKinesis, dancing by a more natural movement and rhythm, is the newest and fastest growing concept in dance training, and is already being used, enjoyed, revered, and copied by dancers of every level. DanceKinesis does teach dancing, but it first teaches dance. The theories and practices of DK may be applied to all of the partnership dances. It focuses on the body's natural movement, fundamentals and principles, and the 7 Laws of Motion. It turns these principles into dance. The techniques and traditional studies of dance are then applied to the individual's natural movements as a means to; define and characterize the dance desired, and, to control and maintain its stylistic movements, rhythm/s, timing/s, and interpretation/s. DanceKinesis may be used with all existing syllabi of all modern Ballroom and Latin dance schools. The text begins with studies the psychology of why we dance. It continues with titles such as "Corrective Posture Arc" and "The 3 Body Tiers" which help to better understand, rebuild and/or retrain the body to feel better in everyday life as well as dance. Others such as "The 7 Natural Laws", "The 4 Schools [Studies] of Ballroom Dance", and "The 2 Energies of Ballroom and Latin Dance" help to better understand and better create proper and more efficient body movement. Did you know that there are at least 3 primary rhythms to most pieces of music? Do you know why it is not good to learn or teach dance by using the terms 'Slow' and 'Quick'? Did you know that the terms 'Lead' and 'Follow' are technically the opposite of what most persons b

You Have What It Takes To Be a Point Guard Entrepreneur. . . Five Points to Dream for Success Point #1: Make sure it's your dream.

Write down your dream, and then keep it in a place where you can see it every day. Post it everywhere to remind yourself what you're working for. Point #5: Be your own point guard. Direct, oversee, call timeouts, and make changes for yourself as well as for your team. The stronger you are personally, the more your dream will thrive.
