The Ajax Protocol (The Project Book 7)

Book Seven: The Ajax Protocol 

The Project is a Black Ops intelligence unit reporting only to the President of the United States. When an assassination attempt takes the President out of commission, the Project is caught up in a conspiracy that threatens to spark a world war and runs a lot deeper than just trying to kill the leader of the free world. 

Led by Director Elizabeth Harker, the Project team discovers a cold-hearted plot to turn America into a totalitarian police state. Betrayed by powerful enemies at home and forced to rely on doubtful allies abroad, Harker and her team are driven underground. With time running out, they must stop the conspirators before they destroy everything America stands for. At the same time team leader Nick Carter and his lover, Selena Connor, struggle to commit to each other in a covert world where love and compassion are in short supply and enemies lie in wait at every turn. 

The Ajax Protocol could be taken from tomorrow's headlines. It will disturb you and keep you turning pages to the end.

Urban Homesteading: Become a Self Sustainable Urban Homesteader to Get off the Grid, Grow Food, and Free Yourself (Urban Homesteading: A Complete Guide ... a Self Sustainable Urban Homesteader)

Urban homesteading is a way to step into the past and live a simpler life. Luxuries will be sacrificed, but it’s also a way to live a better life from a different time. Recently, it has become a trend in the US, and many find that it is a life that provides a chance to live outside of city constraints. Urban homesteading means that you’ll have to learn food preservation methods because not every month will give you’re a chance at plentiful crops. Remaining self-sufficient as an urban homesteader isn’t easy, but it can be done. 

As far as planting is concerned, there are various urban gardens that can be used, or a combination can also be used. This book will take you through the pros and cons of using a combination or a single method of gardening, and even though it’s truly up to the discretion of the individual, this book can give you a better idea of which urban garden will suit your needs and locations. 

Urban homesteading is difficult, but the main thing to remember is that you have to be self-sufficient. This book will teach you everything that being self-sufficient truly means, and you’ll learn how to run your home and garden. There are many facets of preparing your house for urban homesteading, and that means learning how to use alternative energy sources, alternative water sources, and alternative transportation methods. You’ll also have to learn proper waste disposal.

The Savannah Project (Jake Pendleton series Book 1)

The truth can be a dangerous thing. 

Terrorism, duty, and personal safety collide when Jake Pendleton, an investigator for the NTSB, is called to investigate an aircraft accident in Savannah, Georgia during the St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The accident, which at first appears to be quite run-of-the-mill, turns out to be anything but. Since Jake is not willing to pretend there are no suspicious circumstances and more than the usual share of rather unlikely “coincidences,” he sets off a veritable avalanche of secrets, violence and treachery. Aided by an unlikely partner, Gregg Kaplan, the air traffic controller who was the last person in contact with the airplane that crashed, Jake sets out to untangle the webs of deceit and to find a vicious killer. 

Nothing is as it seems, nobody is who you thought them to be. 

Nothing is sacred. 

Nobody is safe. 

The Savannah Project is an action packed political thriller with a twist around every corner. If you like thrillers by great authors like David Baldacci, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and others, then you'll enjoys this book as the author incorporates his 3M formula for his novels: Murder, Mystery, & Mayhem.

Overture to Disaster (Post Cold War Political Thriller Trilogy Book 3)
It's a thriller right out of today's headlines, though it took place in the early nineties.

The theft of Soviet nerve gas weapons as the Cold War ends and the fate of a Special Operations helicopter mission to Iran set the stage for a thrill ride across continents as international chicanery gone wild seeks to restore dictatorial rule in the former Soviet republics. Can a disgraced Air Force colonel, a Belarus investigator framed for murder, and a spymaster suddenly left in the cold stop a disaster that will paralyze Washington?

This unique outing in the Keto Living series from Ella Coleman, will take you on a journey into the exciting world of Fat Fasting, an excellent strategy to break through a stall in weight loss and guide you to a state of Nutritional Ketosis. 

The Keto Living Fat Fast Cookbook starts by taking you back to the origins of Low Carb dieting and Fat Fasting and looks at the relevant pioneering studies and their astounding conclusions. 

As the simple, yet effective protocol is examined further, important questions are posed. 

What criteria qualifies as experiencing a weight loss stall, and are you a candidate for Fat Fasting? 

What are the guidelines and safety considerations of a Fat Fast? 

What is Nutritional Ketosis? Why does it matter and how can it be measured effectively? 

What kind of higher fat foods are most suited for a Fat Fast? 

With questions such as these, and many more answered, the Keto Living Fat Fast Cookbook then delivers 50 Delicious Savory and Sweet Recipes designed to make the whole journey an adventure. 

The misconception that a Fat Fast means staring at a block of cream cheese for three days is quickly put to rest! 

Including nutritional information, carb count and fat percentages for every recipe, an Appendix of where to easily source additional Fat Fasting recipes, and also including metric measurements, the Keto Living Fat Fast Cookbook is a comprehensive guide to this unique protocol.

Eyes of the Hammer (The Green Berets Book 1)

What if US Army Green Berets led by Dave Riley must take on not only criminal drug traffickers but also betray their own government? 

A US Army Special Forces team carrying sterilized weapons and unmarked uniforms is on its way to Colombia. The mission: conduct covert, unilateral raids to destroy cocaine processing laboratories. 

Of course nothing is as it seems especially once the CIA gets involved. Throw in an Israeli mercenary, betrayal and double-dealing in Washington and the team soon finds itself wondering what the real mission is.

Tree Down Rock Cut State Park 6-30-14

I often drive thru the park on my way home. Not this night though. The gate to the back side of the park was closed, possibly due to flooding of the creek across the road (or fear that it might flood). This tree was across the road going the other way, so I had to turn around and go back out.

6-14-14 Winding Creek Conservation Area

McHenry County Conservation District.

I have seen the sign for this place a number of times and finally decided to take a look. It is right off of O'Brien Road, a road we have often been on while traveling to visit Fran's family in Lake County.

It is mostly open fields and with no shade probably not a great summer hike. Maybe Wilma and I will come back in the winter. It looks like a fun snow hike. Not real long. Couple of miles of trails.

I saw some kind of critter near the sign when we pulled up. I was not quick enough to get his picture. I think it was a fox, but not 100% sure, as he disappeared into the knee high weeds (aka native prairie plants) as we pulled up.

There is a parking area out by the road and a picnic shelter, well, and bathroom facilities farther in along a gravel road.

Herd of Pelicans Atwood FP 7-12-14

We were out for our typical Saturday ride in the park and went through Atwood Forest Preserve. It was about 1:15 pm. The road at the south end was blocked down by the river, probably due to flooding, so I went up by the shelter at the top of the hill at the south end of the preserve to turn around, and I happened to see this herd of pelicans out on the river. So I got a few pictures. This one I took from the shelter area.

Then I walked down to the river and took a few more. It was pretty wet down there. They moved away from the bank as I walked toward the river, so I never got any close ups.

ETA:
Sky Hunter (Targon Tales Book 1)
Air Command pilot Nova Whiteside is assigned to a remote outpost to guard the construction of a new orbiter, Skyranch Twelve against rebel sabotage. The difference between the well-ordered Union air fields and this dusty garrison is made painfully clear when she runs afoul a brutal commander of ground troops.

When she is trapped behind enemy lines in a bloody uprising she meets Djari, a civilian whose trust in the governing Union is shattered by what he has witnessed.

Her assignment takes her from the midst of a bloody uprising to the elegant new space station where she hopes to train for her Hunter Class pilot grade. But not all runs according to protocol and she soon suspects that more than farming is being done up there. When she uncovers the treacherous and illicit schemes taking place, it seems that local riots are the least of their troubles.

Ketogenic Diet for Weight Loss: Scientifically Proven: The Secret Guide to Permanent Weight Loss Using the Ketogenic Diet (Ketogenic Diet for Beginners ... of a Keto Diet Fully Explained)

Scientifically Proven: The Secret Guide to Permanent Weight Loss Using the Ketogenic Diet 

About the Book: Ketogenic Diet for Weight Loss 

The ketogenic diet has been out there for almost one century now and it never ceases to fascinate us and to make us take yet another look at it. 

The reason it has survived in a world full of crash diets, fad diets and celebrity diets is simple: it works. It works not only for weight loss, but it works in helping people grow healthier in their bodies, it helps in making people grow more self-confident and it helps in making people feeling better. It helps parents with children who suffer from epilepsy. It helps your heart, your stomach and your mind. It simply helps. 

Since it has been out there for a long time, the ketogenic diet has also been debated on numerous occasions. There are many things that have been said about it: some good, others not so good. But, in the end, people realized that not all that has been said was true and, even more, that there was so much more to this diet than helping epileptics.

Sabotage in the Sky (Stories from the Golden Age)

Bill Trevillian is as ruggedly handsome as he is bold and brave.  Kip Lee is as strikingly beautiful as she is fiery and fearless.  And they’ve got something in common.  They’re both test pilots . . . for rival aviation companies.  Put them together and, like a young Tracy and Hepburn, sparks are bound to fly.

The Second World War is raging in Europe, and England and France are looking to America for a fighter plane to match up with the superior Nazi Messerschmitt.  The competition between Bill and Kip is fierce, and the stakes are stratospheric.  Because there’s an added element in the mix: a deadly saboteur.

People say all’s fair in love and war, but when there’s Sabotage in the Sky, the flight path from heated rivalry to heated romance could lead Bill and Kip to crash and burn.

“If you crave air adventure written by an airman who knows what a hot plane can do, don’t miss Sabotage in the Sky,” wrote the editor introducing the story in 1940. And Hubbard’s knowledge proved prophetic—unknown to the FBI, the German intelligence service, the Abwehr, was actively gathering intelligence about American military aircraft designs and manufacturing. The author also had personal aviation experience, earning a reputation as a daredevil pilot barnstorming across the United States, landing in farmer’s fields and skimming over the top of telephone wires—experiences he put to good use as a well-known aviation correspondent and one of the most accomplished writers of aviation adventure.

Survival In The City: How To Plan And Protect Your Family And Friends In an Urban Enviroment

Unfortunately, many people will rely on government aid and instruction during a disaster. The reality of the situation is that the government may not be able to provide aid until weeks into a disaster. Finally, when aid comes it may not be what you expect. Nothing is more demoralizing then starving for weeks only for the government to show up with rationed water and food. Look at Hurricane Katrina as an example of government aid and intervention. For weeks citizens had to deal with aggressive violence, no food and water, and terrible sanitation conditions. This book will help teach you how to survive these scenarios in an urban environment!
