'Saturday Looks Good to Me is an American experimental indie pop band that formed in 1999. The group is led by singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas (former member of His Name Is Alive). Albums by the group are known for soundscapes which hearken back to Detroit soul. The band was originally conceived as a basement recording project and did not play any live shows until 2002. The band built up a considerable following on the back of numerous limited-edition 7" record and CD-R releases, resulting in the indie pop albums All Your Summer Songs, released in 2003 on Polyvinyl Records, and Every Night, released in 2004 on Polyvinyl. All Your Summer Songs was listed as one of the top 50 albums of 2003 by Pitchfork. Every Night introduced new singer Betty Marie Barnes, who became the nearest to a permanent female singer that the band ever had. '.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. DISCOVER THE HEALING POWER OF LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX AND ANTI INFLAMMATORY FOODS TO BOOST KIDNEY HEALTHI grew up with Betty Rowlands, a close friend who shared many commonalities with me. Some days after her 13th birthday, Betty lost her dad in a plane crash. Betty's mother, Mrs. Kate Rowlands, who was also diabetic, went into depression, and the shock was enough to cause her high blood pressure. Despite her diabetes and hypertension, Mrs. Kate Rowlands went into a smoking, drinking, and drug lifestyle as a result of her traumatic loss.Mrs. Rowlands health deteriorated as she was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease as a result of poorly managed diabetes, hypertension, and lifestyle.Mrs. Rowlands was subjected to dieting by her doctor and was assigned to work closely with a dietician and dieting guide. The dieting guide was fashioned to help her with meals and food choices, modeled to meet her body's nutrition needs to rejuvenate her kidneys and avoid dialysis.This guide was way ahead of a typical food list guide when it came to its contents and was all Mrs. Rowlands needed for her remarkable transformation. Her blood sugar levels moderated, her blood pressure stabilized, her waistline was reduced, her skin and body metabolism improved, and her weak kidneys were rejuvenated. This transformation was not far from a miracle, and her diet guide became a symbol of reference.Today, the author of this groundbreaking book, Dr. Agisa Begay, now a seasoned dietician, has taken up the task of improving on the same book that helped her friend's mom, Mrs. Rowlands, some years ago.In this book, Dr. Agisa Begay will help CKD-diagnosed patients on stages 2, 3, and 4 with the following: Understanding kidney functions, signs, symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatmentsEvaluate the impact of diabetes and high blood pressure on the kidneys.Understand, follow, and eat in accordance with the low-glycemic index diet principles.Explore food choices with a list of kidney-friendly foods focused on low-potassium, low-sodium, and low-phosphorus contents to help rejuvenate your kidneys.Understand and avoid processed and inflammatory foods.Explore varieties of renal-friendly recipes (soups and stews, mains, side dishes, snacks and appetizers, salads, etc.).Amazing, righ Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

And when you find a book like this, you grab it, and you hold it close.' JOHN SELF'A delight . As funny and vivid as Dickens, as moving and memorable as Nabokov . An extraordinarily large-hearted work.' THE CRITICPicked as a 'Book of the Year' in the Guardian____________________________________mountweazel, noun: a fake entry deliberately inserted into a dictionary or work of reference. Often used as a safeguard against copyright infringement.In the final year of the nineteenth century, Peter Winceworth has reached the letter 'S', toiling away for the much-anticipated and multi-volume Swansby's New Encyclopaedic Dictionary. Overwhelmed at his desk and increasingly uneasy that his colleagues are attempting to corral language and regiment facts, Winceworth feels compelled to assert some sense of individual purpose and exercise artistic freedom, and begins inserting unauthorised, fictitious entries into the dictionary. In the present day, young intern Mallory is tasked with uncovering these mountweazels as the text of the dictionary is digitised for modern readers. Through the words and their definitions she finds she has access to their creator's motivations, hopes and desires. More pressingly, she must also field daily threatening anonymous phone calls. Is a suggested change to the dictionary's definition of marriage (n.) really that controversial What power does Mallory have when it comes to words and knowing how to tell the truth And does the caller really intend for the Swansby's staff to 'burn in hell' As their two narratives combine, Winceworth and Mallory must discover how to negotiate the complexities of an often nonsensical, untrustworthy, hoax-strewn and undefinable life._____________________________________The Liar's Dictionary explores themes of trust and creativity, naming the unnameable, and celebrates the rigidity, fragility and absurdity of language. It is an exhilarating debut novel from a formidably brilliant young writer._____________________________________'Eley Williams's debut novel, The Liar's Dictionary, is a lexicographical delight.'

Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Challenges for Today's Christian WomanJesus' direct and uncomplicated call to his disciples is 'Come follow me.' Yet we realize that this challenge is the highest calling any one of us could attain-to live, think and move in this world as Jesus himself exemplified. It is a lifetime, daily commitment.This book is about following Jesus and the eighteen lessons in it were written by women who have exhibited victory and wisdom in the areas discussed. Hopefully, the reader will be able to personally identify with the goals, and the struggle to attain these goals, that the authors relate. Most importantly, it is our prayer that practical, solution-oriented ideas will be set into the heart of the reader, and these plans will result in specific actions that will help in the transformation of character to become more like our Lord.Philippians 3:13b-14 reads: 'One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.'That is our prayer for each one who reads God's word and this book. May God bless you richly.Learn from sisters such as: ¿ Irene Gifford ¿ Lynne Green ¿ Sue Anderson ¿ Pat Gempel ¿ Elena McKean ¿ Joyce Arthur ¿ Tanya Lloyd ¿ Gloria Baird ¿ Carmen Bentley ¿ Donna Western ¿ Adrienne Scanlon ¿ Ellen Faller ¿ Chris Fuqua ¿ Marcia Lamb ¿ Kim Evans ¿ Betty Morehead ¿ Ann Lucas ¿ Connie Mancini ¿ Irene Gurganus.

  • Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Victor Lustig took his new-born daughter in his arms, pressed a wisp of a kiss on her forehead and laid her gently in the pink-ribboned crib. All had happened as he had planned. With Tony and Grace, he had arrived in time for Christmas and did not leave until the girl he had ordered, was born February 13, 1922. For fear of blackmail or kidnapping, Lustig rarely revealed he had a wife and daughter, but he loved them dearly and spent as much time with them as he could. The red headed girl that writers had him fleeing across country with was his wife. Wherever he went, they went along, shipping the furniture which, Roberta always insisted, helped to make the home she longed for. This daughter was her father's darling. Most men want a son to hand down their name as well as their profession. Not so with Victor Lustig. He would not hand down his profession to anyone, but he would love a little daughter. 'So it must be a girl,' he told his wife as he bade her goodbye on her way to California. And after she came according to order, he loved her, was always proud of her. When he did not always acknowledge his wife and daughter publicly, it was not that he was ashamed of them, it was to protect them. He gave his little daughter a long list of lovely names and had them all registered in Germany, but his favorite name for her was Skeezix, after the comic book character. 'I believe that was why I was always so close to my father,' his daughter said in later years. 'It was because he wanted me. I loved my father and my mother both. They told me that I never cried when they held me. But I felt most loved when my father said, 'My little Skeezix'. He was a tender man in many ways.' Betty Jean was taught from an early age never to talk about her father. If someone asked where he was, she was always to say, 'I don't know.' And she usually didn't know. Because their lives were always in danger, Roberta and little 'Skeezix' always had a body guard with them, either Tony or Grace. Victor's many friends were still trying to persuade him to give up his illegal, precarious business. Tom Kearney in St. Louis never stopped talking to him about it. Van in New York had already offered him a high public office if he would change. Walter Winchell and Lionel Moise both pleaded with him to get out of the racket. Lionel, bitter at first over Roberta's blatant rejection that night she met Victor at the party in Kansas City, had become their friend. A New York banker spent hours pointing out the advantages of working for him at a top salary, and Roberta kept saying, 'Please, Vic, give it a try.' Tom Mix and Rudy Valentino knew him and tried in vain to persuade him to give it all up. Tom was walking with him one day on Tom's ranch and said suddenly: 'You can ride horses, Vic. I could make a real cowboy out of you in the movies. Give it all up and try acting.' 'No use, Tom. My acting pays better than yours. And the only horses I am interested in are those on the race track.' Walter Winchell said to him: 'You are an intelligent man, Vic. You could study, take the tests and become an American citizen. Then you could teach languages, history, many things. You have a knowledge that is wasted.' Victor's answer was always: 'I would be bored to death behind a desk. I could never do it.' It was true, dollar-wise, but in the long run, he found out later, too late, it might have been a good idea after all.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book tells of a voyage of discovery by the author, a retired Bechtel chief process engineer and chemical engineering society director, whose previous writings concerned Methane Valorization and Fischer-Tropsch Reactor Design. Trying to explain why a thirteen year old boy would join a Quaker expedition to Philadelphia in 1686 he devises a fictionalized account that is eventually supported by genetic testing. Along the way he discovers, among his ancestors, a master carpenter turned politician, America's first golf club owner and a doctor of whom it was written, 'There was a popular notion that he cured his patients.' He finds a 'Young Squire' who taunts the British with school pamphlets during the Revolutionary War and several Quakers who were sent off to Virginia during that war - much as we locked up the Japanese during World War II. While written as a family history, the reader will find tie-ins to Benjamin Franklin's papers, to Shakespeare's The Tempest, to a British diarist who wrote about William Wordsworth and to an anti-slavery tract by Fanny Kemble. The book sheds light on family's papers kept under wraps at historical libraries but leaves the final answers up to future generations. In the author¿s own words, 'I became interested in Fox family genealogy as a result of a business trip to Bechtel's London Office in 1974. While there as the process design manager for an Algerian Liquified Natural Gas project, I took the opportunity to visit the Friends' Library on Euston Road. There I found a family tree called Descendants of Francis Fox of St. German's, by Joseph Foster and also Anne Cresson's biography of my own ancestor, Joseph Fox, who had been Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly during the Stamp Act uproar. I also located several books that seemed of immediate interest: The Journals of Caroline Fox 1835-1871, edited by Wendy Monk, and a biography, Caroline Fox, by Wilson Harris. These gave the approximate locations of several family estates out in Cornwall near Falmouth. There had been many famous visitors to these estates; men such as Wordsworth, Tennyson, Mill and Carlyle, and Caroline Fox had described their conversations in her Journals. 'I then convinced a fellow process design engineer, Bob Chu, to drive with me out to Falmouth over a weekend. There we found the closed offices of G. C. Fox & Company, shipbrokers, and the Fox Rosehill Gardens but no other sign of Fox activity. I was a little discouraged. Bob was intrigued, however, and insisted we investigate further. So on Sunday morning we drove further west and found the Glendurgan estate, with foxes on the gateposts and Mrs. Philip Hamilton (Rona) Fox about to start up a lawnmower in the garage. She immediately dropped what she was doing and led us into her house where notes were compared on family connections. One of Francis Fox's sons had sailed to Philadelphia in 1686 on the same ship as Justinian Fox, my own ancestor. 'Bob and I then had a chance to tour the fabulous Glendurgan Gardens, just recently added to the National Trust. We also stopped off at Catchfrench, an estate in St. German's, near Plymouth, where I sat in the ruins of the house where Francis Fox had lived in the mid-1600s. This was enough to send a chill up my spine and got me to thinking about recording all of this history. Back in London, Rona's second son, Charles Lloyd Fox, introduced me to more relatives. As is described in this book, our families have maintained this relationship ever since then. 'Work on this book actually started in 1992 after I retired from Bechtel and my wife, Betty, died of Lupus, both in rapid succession. I joined a Creative Writing Extension Class run by U. C. Berkeley and, for my project, started the fictionalized account recorded in the first two chapters of this book. I had learned that Justinian had only been 13 years old when he joined the Plymouth F.

Kevin Brownlow (born Robert Kevin Brownlow; 2 June 1938) is a British film historian, television documentary-maker, filmmaker, author, and film editor. He is best known for his work documenting the history of the silent era, having become interested in silent film at the age of eleven. This interest grew into a career spent documenting and restoring film. Brownlow has rescued many silent films and their history. His initiative in interviewing many largely forgotten, elderly film pioneers in the 1960s and 1970s preserved a legacy of early mass-entertainment cinema. He received an Academy Honorary Award at the 2nd Annual Governors Awards given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on 13 November 2010. This was the first occasion on which an Academy Honorary Award was given to a film preservationist. Among the items coverer are Vitagraph, Hollywood, D. W. Griffith, Allan Dwan, Henry King, Mary Pickford, Edward Sloman, William Wellman, Cecil B. De Mille, von Sternberg, Charles Rosher, Douglas Fairbanks, Stunt Men, Louis B. Mayer, Irving Thalberg, David O. Selznick, Reginald Denny, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Charles Chaplin, Abel Gance, Betty Blythe, and Gloria Swanson. Brownlow's first book on silent film, The Parade's Gone By., was published in 1968. The book features many interviews with the leading actors and directors of the silent era, and began his career as a film historian. He spent many years gaining support for the restoration of Abel Gance's French epic, Napoléon (1927), a then-mutilated film that used many novel cinematic techniques. Brownlow's championing of the film succeeded, and the restored version, with a new score by Carl Davis, was shown in London in 1980, and again in London in 2013 with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Gance lived to see the acclaim for his restored film. The San Francisco Silent Film Festival presented the complete 2000 restoration of the film, with Davis conducting his score, at the Paramount Theatre Oakland in March 2012. Derived from a Kirkus review: Passing in review here is the silent film era and Mr. Brownlow has done a splendid job of vitalizing the past through interviews and personal research. Most of this material has never seen print before and the filmophile will go wild over reminiscences such as Joseph Henabery's (who assisted Griffith on Intolerance). And the snaps: Garbo who loved watching talking pictures in reverse but refused to view them the right way. . . Fairbanks intimidated by the Robin Hood castle -- "You expect me to jump across that?" . . .Buster Keaton who broke his neck doing his own stunts and didn't realize it until ten years later. . . the chaos that was the original Ben Hur -- "we'll paint muscles on you!" . . . Irving Thalberg arguing with Von Stroheim over a foot fetishist scene --"You are a footage fetishist" . . . Producers, directors, writers, actors, stuntmen, the last of the pioneers, each with his own marvelous recollections. A fine splice of a fantastic life and with the 261 photographs. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

  • Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Victor Lustig took his new-born daughter in his arms, pressed a wisp of a kiss on her forehead and laid her gently in the pink-ribboned crib. All had happened as he had planned. With Tony and Grace, he had arrived in time for Christmas and did not leave until the girl he had ordered, was born February 13, 1922. For fear of blackmail or kidnapping, Lustig rarely revealed he had a wife and daughter, but he loved them dearly and spent as much time with them as he could. The red headed girl that writers had him fleeing across country with was his wife. Wherever he went, they went along, shipping the furniture which, Roberta always insisted, helped to make the home she longed for. This daughter was her father's darling. Most men want a son to hand down their name as well as their profession. Not so with Victor Lustig. He would not hand down his profession to anyone, but he would love a little daughter. 'So it must be a girl,' he told his wife as he bade her goodbye on her way to California. And after she came according to order, he loved her, was always proud of her. When he did not always acknowledge his wife and daughter publicly, it was not that he was ashamed of them, it was to protect them. He gave his little daughter a long list of lovely names and had them all registered in Germany, but his favorite name for her was Skeezix, after the comic book character. 'I believe that was why I was always so close to my father,' his daughter said in later years. 'It was because he wanted me. I loved my father and my mother both. They told me that I never cried when they held me. But I felt most loved when my father said, 'My little Skeezix'. He was a tender man in many ways.' Betty Jean was taught from an early age never to talk about her father. If someone asked where he was, she was always to say, 'I don't know.' And she usually didn't know. Because their lives were always in danger, Roberta and little 'Skeezix' always had a body guard with them, either Tony or Grace. Victor's many friends were still trying to persuade him to give up his illegal, precarious business. Tom Kearney in St. Louis never stopped talking to him about it. Van in New York had already offered him a high public office if he would change. Walter Winchell and Lionel Moise both pleaded with him to get out of the racket. Lionel, bitter at first over Roberta's blatant rejection that night she met Victor at the party in Kansas City, had become their friend. A New York banker spent hours pointing out the advantages of working for him at a top salary, and Roberta kept saying, 'Please, Vic, give it a try.' Tom Mix and Rudy Valentino knew him and tried in vain to persuade him to give it all up. Tom was walking with him one day on Tom's ranch and said suddenly: 'You can ride horses, Vic. I could make a real cowboy out of you in the movies. Give it all up and try acting.' 'No use, Tom. My acting pays better than yours. And the only horses I am interested in are those on the race track.' Walter Winchell said to him: 'You are an intelligent man, Vic. You could study, take the tests and become an American citizen. Then you could teach languages, history, many things. You have a knowledge that is wasted.' Victor's answer was always: 'I would be bored to death behind a desk. I could never do it.' It was true, dollar-wise, but in the long run, he found out later, too late, it might have been a good idea after all.

From the publisher: #13. Toshio Shibata: Gas Stations: "In the early 1980s, returning to Japan from a few years of traveling and living in Europe, Toshio Shibata began photographing night scenes of roadside Japan. Shibata has said of the experience of the road at night: "While driving on a highway at night in Europe I often experienced an imperceptible momentary sensation of transcending place, yet not knowing where I was. It seemed as if I could have been in Japan, or even in the United States. I felt that the scene was non-specific, but rather a kind of generic or archetypal common scene, universal image and part of a global world-view." Gas stations - especially in the dead of night - look more or less the same everywhere they are to be found. Yet their generic look can also provoke feelings of melancholy, even romance. Well known for his large-scale photographs of large-scale civil engineering in rural places, both in Japan and in the West, Toshio Shibata here presents the view with a book of seven jewel-like images of Japanese gas stations at night, beautifully reproduced and accompanied by a silver gelatin photograph, hand printed by the artist himself. "Toshio Shibata occupies a distinct place in landscape photography: His pictures don't idealize pristine wilderness nor do they moralize about the damaging imprint humans leave upon the natural world. Shibata studies places of contact â " where we have altered the earth â " and finds reflection, wonder, awe. Beauty, in his work, is inclusive, and purity is a matter of compositional elegance rather than rarefied subject matter." â " Leah Ollman, Los Angeles Times Gas Stations: 1982 & 1986 is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist." #14. Manjari Sharma: Darshan: "Darshan is a series of photographically recreated, classical images of Hindu Gods and Goddesses that are pivotal to mythological stories in Hinduism. Most commonly used in the context of Hindu worship, Darshan is a sanskrit word that means "apparition" or a "glimpse." "Having left a ritual-driven community in India, my move to the U.S. precipitated an enormous cultural shift. It was this cultural paralysis that motivated me to use my one medium of worship - the camera - to study, construct and deconstruct the mythologies of my land.The goal was to turn multidimensional memories of sculptures and ornamental paintings of Hindu Gods, into two-dimensional photographs. For centuries, the way that we have experienced darshans is via laying gaze upon a molded figure, a carved statue or an illustration that represents a likeness to avatars described in Hindu scripture. This series of images invites the viewer to consider a photograph as means of spiritual engagement." â " Manjari Sharma Born and raised in Mumbai, India, Manjari Sharma makes work that is rooted in portraiture addressing the issues of identity, multiculturalism, and personal mythology.Manjari's work has been recognized, awarded, published and exhibited internationally. Darshan is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist." #15. Kenro Izu: Requiem: "In 79 AD, the city of Pompeii in the south of Italy was destroyed, buried beneath volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted. At the time of its destruction, the population of Pompeii was estimated at 11,000 people. After the eruption, the city was lost for about 1,500 years until its rediscovery in the late 16th century.
