Book Description
I started in fine dining the summer of '79. At the time Perrier was the rage. The in thing was to order, and be heard ordering, Perrier. This bottle sat on everyone's table - an excellent drink with dinner and wine. My book is a collection of memories that I recall all too often - thoughts of events that occurred over twenty-five years that are too interesting not to be told. The best I can do is let you read about them. I wish I could tell you....I wish you were there. Being a waiter, and especially a maitre d', was fun not knowing what unique experience would occur today, and involve me. Unintentionally and willingly I had the best job of my life. If any waiter, or restaurant employee, or any type of worker had a more interesting or exciting job than I, more power to them.

French Sentences Vol.3

Pages : 2796
Book Description
French Sentences Vol.3: English & French THIS EDITION: The dual-language text has been arranged into sentences for quick and easy cross-referencing. The text can be used on its own. However, the content is ideal for reinforcing grammar, and as a precursor to more advanced bilingual editions. Volume 3 in this series takes a more in depth look at French grammar. It also includes some of the basic verb charts. Like in the first two volumes, the text uses a bilingual sentence structure to tackle grammar. It can be used as a primary source for grammar, or as a way for reinforcing an alternative text on grammar. However, it can also be read in a relaxed manner without endeavouring to analyse to excess, thus learning key grammatical concepts in a somewhat passive manner. The reader can choose between four formats: Section 1: English to French Section 2: French to English Section 3: English Section 4: French A methodology for getting the most out of this bilingual format is explained in the book’s Foreword. Once a student has studied the basics, a suitable book about basic grammar can be helpful. The suggestion is that any alternative grammar book be studied more with the intent of recognition and understanding, rather than memorising and obsessive rote learning. Go through as much of the grammar book you feel you can digest — maybe even the whole book — skipping over what is not easily understood. Then, read through a portion of text in this book, looking for examples of what you have picked up (or gleaned) in your hopefully not so arduous study of grammar. Then, depending on your inclination, return to the grammar book (or your basic French book), or move on to lengthier bilingual text — like in 2Language Books texts, for example —, or find some suitable French text: a simple novel, a French news website, etc. Grammar books will likely have some verb charts. However, there are currently good on-line resources that go further — dictionaries with a verb conjugation ‘search’ option. Many basic language books offer some form of audio support. Internet services — primarily news based radio stations — offer podcasts. Audio from television is an additional resource, and can be formatted for use on various digital platforms. However, if audio is an important component of your interest in languages, electronic devices that support quality text-to-speech (TTS) will likely be appealing. With a library card, TTS technology (in a device that supports the relevant content), and the above mentioned resources (as digital content), an entire language learning system is available for not much more than a cup of coffee! There is no substantial financial outlay to get you started. Furthermore, there are no additional ongoing fees (and updates), and there are no expiry dates on ‘premium’ content and resources.

Book Description
When county sheriff Cab Johnson gets a hunch, he's learned to trust it, and his hunch tells him Rose Bellingham is in a peck of trouble. Bad enough he's in love with her, bad enough she's already engaged to Jason Thayer. He's got to figure out what she's hiding before he loses her for good. Rose can't stand one more person meddling in her business, even if that person is a handsome, eligible sheriff. She's been controlled for far too long.

But with Cab watching her every move, she's hard pressed to finish her hideaway so she can make her escape. Meanwhile, she's not the only one with problems. Can she find a way to help her friends, too? Just when Cab solves one mystery, more pop up. Where does Rose keep disappearing to? What's wrong with Mia Start? Why is Hannah Chatham lying to her fiancé? At least he's let Rose know he's interested. And if he's not mistaken, she's interested, too. Rose's hideaway is perfect, until her friends invade it to escape their own troubles. Can she trust them to keep its whereabouts a secret? Does she want to hide from Cab anymore? Now that Jason's out of the picture, is it safe to follow her heart? When two unexpected visitors arrive with secrets of their own, Chance Creek must brace for its deadliest night ever.

Reflections of the Curse
Author: Ayn Dillard

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Natalie's saga continues through male archetypes, prophetic dreams, past life memories and legal situations on her journey to genuine love. “Everyone we meet is our mirror - an aspect of our inner-self, either in the sameness or the opposite.” In the Garden of Eden, God told Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit from one particular tree - the tree of knowledge. The Serpent/Satan slithered in approach to the woman Eve telling/enticing her that it was okay to eat of the fruit of the tree. That nothing harmful would occur, to not believe God, but to believe him. Eve believed the Serpent/Satan and took a bite of the forbidden fruit. It tasted good and nothing negative appeared to occur. Eve went to Adam and told him as such. Adam took a bite of the fruit. Adam and Eve realized they were naked and became ashamed. God noticing their shame inquired of Adam, “Why did you eat of the fruit from the forbidden tree?” Adam replied, “The woman, Eve told me to eat of it. God asked Eve, “Why did you partake of the fruit from the forbidden tree? Eve replied, “The serpent told me that it was okay to eat of it, so I did.” In the fall of Adam, he became a blame-deflecting narcissist. Shame was introduced into paradise. Out of his shame, Adam took no accountability or responsibility for eating the forbidden fruit. Instead, he put the blame on Eve, then Eve passed the buck to the Serpent/Satan. The ‘devil made me do it’ excuse. The Serpent/Satan knew that he’d won this first round. Adam held Eve out in front of him as a shield or excuse. This story line has continued on varying levels ever since. Satan was the original malignant narcissist caring only about manipulation, control, deception, lies, gas-lighting and destruction as, he tries to take the power of God for himself. Satan/Narcissists are full of shame. The shame of envy, lies and sin. Satan’s goal out of his envy, is to try and usurp God by perverting and destroying God’s most precious and prized creation that of the human being and what better way to do this, but in the romantic male/female relationship. Genesis 1:27 KJV “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” The Serpent/Satan began first thing to tarnish love, peace, purity, bliss and joy in the male/female God-created connection. In each and every male/female connection there will be three. Man, woman and Satan, or male, female and God. And of course, it extrapolates out from there into the world into each and every relationship on earth. There will always aspects of good and evil. It only depends on the spectrum and degree of good, or evil in each person, in any given time, as it magnifies into each relationship. Along with the awareness of self, either to step into self-reflection and healing, or to fall further and deeper into separation from self into sin and shame. God’s creation of Adam and Eve necessitated a maturation process, as well as a process for salvation. Why do we attract to those that we do and why do they attract to us? This is one of life's greatest mysteries. Patterns of romance selection are guided by complex internal interweavings. Perhaps, the attraction is to those who carry the energy needed to become more aware of imprints & negative beliefs, in order to heal and further expand our soul. “The highest of the male energy protects, provides and heals. The lowest of the male energy predator-like, destroys and steals.” Ayn Dillard By understanding her ways, he comes to know the mystery of his heart. By sharing love with her, he discovers how to love the world. In the merging of the two, she awakens his masculinity to receive the beauty of the feminine. He becomes her strength. She becomes his weakness -- this is truest and most profound exchange of power.
