A B2 Bomber, piloted by the son of one of the top Mormon leaders, accidentally crashes into the Salt Lake Temple of the Mormon Church killing all but two of the key leaders of that church. The youngest and the newest of the top leaders is not present at the time of the disaster, and is left to put the church back together.

Related sub-plots and topics include: the problem of evil, how top Mormon leaders are selected, attempts by apostate groups to take over the church, the killing of the wife of the surviving Apostle, the role of his mother-in-law in helping him in his struggle and subtly guiding his remarriage.

It's October 2001, I've got no job, no car, a flat that's falling down around me and to top it all al-Qa'eda have just bombed the United States of America.
What would you do?
1. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and go out and find a job
2. Get workmen in to come and put your lounge ceiling back on your lounge ceiling
3. Give whingeing all the time a miss and start using public transport or your legs for a change
4. Leave everything you own and know as normal, and trust yourself to a variety of airline companies to take you places some people couldn't pinpoint on a map
For better or worse I chose No.4.

This is my story and obviously I survived the adventure cos I'm telling you about it now. Now, by the way, is January 2003.

Digital photography can be a simple undertaking or very complex if you allow it to be. My choice was to refer to as many sources of information as were available. Along with courses, tutorials and other forums, this glossary is an ideal companion as you venture into this new field of photography and imaging.

The terminology associated with digital imaging is used in a variety of fields to express similar concepts. To prevent misunderstandings it is essential to clarify concepts and establish definitions - definitions that are thorough, uncomplicated and easily understood.

This book does not replace your user manual for your software or hardware. This glossary does not contain (commercial) software related terminology. This is appropriate as it simplifies things into two distinct categories: your manuals and this glossary.

Some authors profess that you don't have to read their work from front to back; that you should in fact, just use it for occasional reference. Well, I disagree. I highly suggest that it be read like a novel, cover to cover. Linear enjoyment! This is the first edition and inevitably there will be inaccuracies. Technology changes and so will the book! I welcome any corrections, suggestions and rave reviews.

Subtitled "The Photographic Eye of Jack E. Thompson, Reflections Through A Special Lens is a tribute to the author's late father. Jack Thompson was a well-known photographer and newspaper editor in Parry Sound, Ontario. The author, Stephen Thompson, has assembled 50 of his father's black and white photographs of the rocks, clouds, trees, wind and water, and some birds, insects and plants, of the Parry Sound area on Georgian Bay. The photos of this collection date from 1952 to 2002 and were specially selected to represent the span of Jack's photographic career and to honour his own desire to publish a book of similar photographs. Reflections from the title reveals many of the photographic images in the book, since Jack was often looking for reflected images to complete the photographic tales of his compositions, to provide a hint of "the bigger picture." Reflections also describes Stephen Thompson's thoughts, interpretations, remembrances and analyses when revisiting his father's body of work. In addition to Jack Thompson's photographs, the author has included a selection of his own black and white images from the Carden plain and Haliburton areas of Ontario. As a special tribute to his father's generational influence, the author has also included a series of his son Alex's black and white photography. Alex Thompson is Jack Thompson's grandson and his selections come from the Gatineau, Quebec region.

Each chapter contains a brief discussion based on the respective title of the chapter and is followed by subsections called "Observations, Rants and Social Sharing" that deal with sociological and current affair issues. Following that is the "Male Appreciation Corner" which discusses the author's favorite men and finally, each chapter is then completed by a series of digital photo art on male subjects (whose signed permission has been obtained).

Inuvik In Pictures, a companion volume to Inuvik: A History, is published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the official naming of Inuvik in 1958. The book illustrates the planning, construction and growth of Canada's first planned arctic community, beginning in the early 1950s with the search for a new town site on the Mackenzie Delta. The book draws on photo collections from across the country, depicting the creation of a new centre of regional government, a base for resource development, headquarters for aboriginal land claims organizations, schools, health centres, and flourishing cultural organizations. For 50 years, Inuvialuit, Gwich'in and southern residents have worked together to build this community, and Inuvik In Pictures is a colourful celebration of their many achievements.

Almena was only 22, living in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, DC, when she photographed her exploits during the summer of 1910, including a ride on Abraham Lincoln's steamer River Queen to COLONIAL BEACH; a visit to the OLD SOLDIER'S HOME; POTOMAC PARK; GLEN ECHO; HARPERS FERRY and the original HILLTOP HOUSE; JEFFERSON ROCK; GREAT FALLS; GERMANTOWN; RIVERSIDE; ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD; and EFTON HILLS; and a ride on the steamer Charles Macalester to MARSHALL HALL.

We also discover why so many Washingtonians have family in Maine - it's because of the Civil War. Almena's father left Maine to serve "in defense of Washington, DC", stayed following the Civil War, fell in love and lived happily ever after! Almena visited Maine in 1910, including the wharf on PEAKS ISLAND; CAPE ELIZABETH and POND COVER; she took a schooner to SHORES ISLAND, viewed the coal fleet off FORT WILLIAMS PARK; and traveled to SOUTH PORTLAND; WILLARD BEACH; COLUMBIA; and JONESPORT.

Almena left us a treasure trove of vintage photos presented in a unique way – all from 1910.
