Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote: "The leaves of memory seemed to make a mournful rustling in the dark" Keep the leaves of YOUR MEMORIES fresh and ALIVE for generations by capturing these meaningful milestones AS THEY HAPPEN in this wonderful journal: To Baby, With Love.

Things you think you couldn't possibly forget about your child will be sadly lost if you don't get them on paper.

With this wonderful journal, To Baby, With Love, you'll have a special place to preserve special events, days, and even your thoughts on any particular day.

You'll look back years from now and...

Read what you were thinking and feeling during pregnancy,

Recall what was happening during your baby's first 4 years of life,

Even be able to refer to important dates in quick-glace log pages!

Your child will turn to this journal as they get older and learn...

Family medical history

I went to the library one day to find a book of Lincoln one-liners, such as: "You can fool all the people some of the time, and..." but I found no such book. I then reviewed the literature and found that Abraham Lincoln rarely stated one-liners. His stories were nearly almost always couched in an ample supply of background detail leading to savory climaxes. After this I thought to myself, "There ought to be a book equivalent to Lincoln one-liners." So I decided to write it myself.

The first section of Distilled Lincoln Anecdotes presents basic meanings of individual humorous tales from the life of Abraham Lincoln. The second section contains amusing anecdotes, observations from life, some curiosities, and a few poetic lines by the author.

Compound Miter the bevel and miter answer book, contains all the answers needed for cutting compound miters and crown moldings. Designed with easy to read charts calculating the cuts using the formula inside corner angle or outside corner angle with spring angle equals miter and bevel angles. Questions throughout cutting a compound miter and crown molding are basically what to set the saw's miter angle and bevel angle at. Each of the 360° inside and outside corner angles, in increments of 1°, are divided into spring angles from 1° thru 90° also in 1° increments. That's 32,400 miter answers with 32,400 bevel answers for any corner in question throughout cutting compound miters and crown moldings. Besides the answers to cutting inside and outside corners as compound miters or crown moldings, the book also answers questions in the other areas concerning theses cuts. There's easy to read charts for unknown corner angles containing the answers to all 360° of the inside and outside corners in increments of 1°, using the method of measuring. There's also easy to read charts for unknown spring angles containing the answers in increments of 1/4", from 1/4" thru 14" rise and 1/4" thru 14" run, using the method of measuring. That's 3,136 answers to any spring angle using material or crown molding up to 19 3/4" wide. Inch conversion charts changing any decimal of an inch to fractions, centimeters, and millimeters in increments hundreds of an inch. Working charts for either a single bevel or a double bevel miter saw are also included. Each of these working charts have 6 steps. These steps range from which direction to place the material on the saw, which direction to turn the saw's bevel meter, to which piece of the material to save for the installation. Complete, all answers to cutting compound miters and crown moldings.

Athletics in Drogheda 1861-2001 tells the story of how the modern sports of track & field, cross country and road racing made their seperate ways to the Boyneside town of Drogheda in Co. Louth. It chronicles the social conditions that initially confined such activities to a small section fo the community. Generally, the population outside of the upper classes could spectate, but they were frozen out of participation. The book explains why.

Gradually, with changes in society and the development of organisations like the Gaelic Athletic Association, GAA, the sport was embraced by the masses in a plethora of urban and rural clubs. In Drogheda the sport was a major crowd pulling activity until the 1960s ushered in a fundamental change int he Western World's lifestyle. The story of how Drogheda men and women became county, national and international athletic stars is relayed through a combination of events, social comment and individual profiles of the more prominent characters. The narrative encompasses the start of the twenty-first century.

It also includes an introduction to card-counting, blackjack tournaments, basic strategy, simple betting strategies and table etiquette.

A sequel to Armament Engineering: A Computer Aided Approach, by the same author, this book is an amazingly simplified approach to the design of large caliber gun systems. Although it presupposes proficiency in essential mechanical design, it is adequately self-contained. The book aims to familiarize the engineer with mechanical engineering principles which underlie numerous designs of large caliber gun systems.

The book contains six chapters with illustrative design exercises fully supported by programmes and spreadsheets on a CD ROM. All the design exercises are based on factual data. Chapter 1 covers monobloc and autofrettaged gun barrels, vibration effects and chamber design. The second chapter handles breech assemblies and the dynamics of semi automatic mechanisms. Chapter 3 covers hydro pneumatic recoil systems exhaustively. The fourth chapter is devoted to balancing gears and the last two chapters effectively deal with elevating and traversing mechanism design. Finally all the data the student is likely to require is included in an exhaustive appendix. Interwoven with a wealth of practical and theoretical information, this volume, with its attached CD ROM is a must for military colleges offering gun design as a specialization.

I began writing Golden Specks in October of 1999 and finished it one year later. I wanted to record the little bits of precious thoughts and combine it with some of my favourite photographs. When I was on page nineteen and ideas kept coming to be, I realized that I was going to commit to making this book come true.

I have searced for beauty and knowledge in all that I have ever lived. Most of these thoughts came to me as I walked through nature trails in Timmins, Ontario. It was my active form of meditation except the quiet place inside of me kept talking!

My desire to write came by necessity in my first book As I Am. With this book, my writing was like a secret gift that came to me, every single day.

You will enjoy learning shorthand with this book. If you thought shorthand was difficult to learn, this book will change your mind.

Shorthand is a valuable skill for making notes at meetings, in classes or lectures. It is equally useful in the workplace, office or at home.

This book presents the Tabor method of script shorthand for general note-taking (Alpha-script). It is a simple method which can be learned quickly and easily, and be used from the very first lesson.

There are two fundamental principles and three specific rules of abbreviation for the sounds of T and D, R and L. the three most frequently occurring prefix groups and some half-dozen suffix groups are simply expressed following common hand-writing practice.

The method is simple and logical and the book is designed for self-study or for classroom teaching. There are four parts; 1. Theory, 2. progression to the Professional level of the system, 3. Keyboard version (for typing on a QWERTY keyboard, and 4. Note-taking techniques.
