Fables: Brilliant Comic & Art Book

This comic was a brilliant read! The murder, the lies, the suspense, and the alteration of our favorite childhood fairy tales twisted into 119 pages of comics.

The graphics had the classic comics drawing. Each character had their own spice. They were all different from the characters we remember as our childhood fairy tales  The plot was breath-taking; I was at the edge of my seat. When the murder was solved it had the moment of "Holy crap! I didn't expect that! Look at all the details! How could I not seen that!" Pure magic, kind of remind me of the Detective Conan comics where you just fan girls at the detective skills.

There are a million terrific graphic novels out there, but Fables stands out. Collected in over 18 volumes, it's the story of your favorite fairy tale characters exiled in our world, and it's got it all: romance, war, tragedy, betrayal and redemption. Sweeping and grand and beautifully illustrated, if you haven't started reading comics before but you want to, this is a great gateway.

A great read with wonderful art from start to finish. . 

When I'm pressed for time and want to read something great but quick. I turn to comic books.

Book Description

When a savage creature known only as the Adversary conquered the fabled lands of legends and fairy tales, all of the infamous inhabitants of folklore were forced into exile. 

Disguised among the normal citizens of modern-day New York, these magical characters created their own secret society-within an exclusive luxury apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side-called Fabletown. But when Snow White's party-girl sister, Rose Red, is apparently murdered, it is up to Bigby, Fabletown's sheriff, and a reformed and pardoned Big Bad Wolf, to determine if the culprit is Bluebeard, Rose's ex-lover and notorious wife killer, or Jack, her current live-in boyfriend and former beanstalk-climber.

Gas Saving Devices ebook - Review




Add caption
  

It is no secret to anyone that gas prices have continued to rise to unbelievable prices over the past couple of years. While there has been a steady increase all along, nothing has taken place like it has in the past six months. It sees like the prices at the pumps are increasing every couple of days.
That has many consumers scared to death and scrambling for a solution. They aren’t making more money but continue have more expenses to cover. The more your drive your vehicle they more you are affected by these increasing fuel prices. It can be a very scary time if you already have a thin budget to work with.
Before you buy one of them you need to do your homework. You need to find out what other consumers have to say about it. You definitely don’t want to waste your time or money on something that isn’t going to be effective. There is no reason to hand over the cash until you know you are getting a legitimate product with a high level of credibility behind it.

The Woman Men Adore...and Never Want to Leave - Review

“If Only I Could Understand Men….”


Men always say they can’t understand women, and that women are so complicated. Well, for many women, it is the exact opposite. Most would give anything to understand what makes men “tick.” Even though women want to know what he’s thinking, men are often reluctant to share what is in their hearts. What’s a woman to do?

Rather than describe all the differences between the sexes, it is often more helpful to focus on a few areas that any woman can understand.

1) Men are more sensitive than women. While that might sound silly, the truth is that men don’t have the ability to recover from emotional trauma as effectively as a woman. Because of this, men keep themselves from getting too upset. When a man hears he should just “let his feelings out,” what he translates that into is this, “If I let my feelings out, I might not be able to control them.”

2) Men hate fighting. For men, conflict is not simply resolving a problem. Fighting, to a man, means one has to win and the other needs to be totally defeated. Men often prefer conflict that is non-emotional because it is less threatening to them. Once a conflict becomes emotionally charged, it is very difficult for a man to contain those feelings and the most frequent coping skill is for them to become quiet. It may seem like they are punishing you, but they are most likely trying not to lose control.

3) Men want to get married. In spite of what many progressive cultures preach, the truth is that a majority of men in the world do get married. While the freedom of being single has its appeal, it comes with one primary drawback – it is lonely. While this might not sound overly romantic, finding a woman that a man can trust is just as important as finding one who is beautiful.

If you liked these insights, there are more available in Bob Grant’s wonderful e-book called, “The Woman Men Adore…and Never Want to Leave.” Bob Grant, L.P.C., has taken his 17 years of private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Coach and condensed only the best information into a mouth-watering, powerful handbook on what men find themselves powerless to resist in a woman.

Discover How You Can Now... Enjoy Playing the Piano!

Why is learning to play the piano such a chore? It seems that people who take lessons work and work but take years to learn to play anything interesting or enjoyable. They are always unhappy about their lessons. People who take lessons sometimes even hate their teachers because they feel ashamed of their playing. The teacher may or may not intentionally make the student feel bad, but the fact remains that you lose interest if you never feel any satisfaction.

Teachers also alienate their students by asking them to play music that is either too hard or worse yet, too easy. Without a challenge, there is little point in trying to learn anything. Teachers might pile on too much work for the student to practice on at home, or not give the student a clue as to what to work on. Finding a good teacher can be extremely difficult.

Trying to learn on your own can be just as frustrating if you do not have the right guidance. You can search the internet infinitely and find all kinds of information on piano theory. Most of it you will not even understand. It is often in difficult language and assumes that you know quite a bit about music already. You also have to deal with conflicting theories. Sure, there are different points of view. You just do not want to hear them when you are first starting out. You want something you can rely on to begin your piano playing experience.

When you order lessons online, you often find instruction that is inaccurate and uninformative. The teachers might simply be trying to make a buck, without regard for what you might or might not learn. Besides this, online lessons can be very costly. You might try to get information and end up getting endless spam after you have turned down the piano lessons. You can find yourself locked into a long commitment of payments if you are not careful when ordering lessons on the internet. It sometimes takes weeks, if not months, to get the situation cleared up.

Worst of all, most lessons do not give you the opportunity to have a good time with your piano playing. You just drudge along from one lesson to the next, hoping to find that magical secret that is going to make it all worthwhile. As you look for enlightenment at the end of the piano lesson rainbow, time passes you by. You are left with nothing but a meaningless clutter of useless lessons that never got you anywhere.

Would it not be nice if you could find a way to learn to play piano that does not end in failure? You could use a method of learning that does not require you to spend vast fortunes for a little knowledge. Most of all, if you are anything like most piano students; you will be looking for a piano learning method that allows you some happiness.

You find yourself wondering what solution you can ever find to this problem. You want to learn, but you do not want to commit to a process that will not teach you the basics until you have been at it for a long time. Just when you thought there was no way to learn piano happily, you might be surprised to know that there is!

You Can Learn with Joy!

This is no time to give up. You can learn to play with joy and creativity. You certainly can. It is only a matter of finding the right method. However, there are few options for someone who wants to learn quickly on their own. With most lessons, it takes many months to get just the basic ideas of what piano music is all about.
Lessons can be incredibly boring, and yet people rush to take them year after year. Did you ever stop to wonder why? The reason of course is that it is very desirable to be able to play the piano and to play it well. It is just too bad that so many people are duped out of their hard-earned money with endless lessons that do nothing but squelch this desire.

Yet, there is no more need to sweat over long, dull lessons. All you need to do is to find a simple guide to beginning piano playing that will answer your basic questions. You need a guide that will get you started and tell you where to go from there. With the right information, you can learn all you need to know to begin playing the piano on your own.

The right solution for you is one that uses your abilities and talents in teaching you the most important lessons a beginning piano student can learn. The perfect solution is one that takes the vast stores of knowledge in the musical world and highlights the most basic facts for you to learn first.

You can benefit from simple explanations and descriptions of how to apply basic concepts in a variety of situations. Do not settle for lessons that talk over your head all the time.

Unique Weddings

Make YOUR Wedding Day Truly Unique!

Marriage is a sacred commitment that should never be entered into lightly or on a whim or, even worse, on a dare. By pledging your love and loyalty to another human being you are assuming the responsibility of that person’s life as they are assuming the responsibility for yours. But that doesn’t mean that a wedding has to be done according to anybody else’s wishes and desires but those of the bride and groom.


A wedding day should be one of the days that will stand out forever in a bride’s and groom’s memories as a day of joy and happiness and one that belongs uniquely to the bridal couple. It should be THIER day...and not just on the day of the wedding but for their lifetime together.

The marriage ceremony, whether it is a first wedding or a subsequent wedding, really does signify the leaving behind of the old life and the beginning of a new life as a couple so it should incorporate everything that makes that change seem real and valid to the couple that is marrying.

What others think doesn’t really matter. The mother and the father of both the bride and the groom are about to become in-laws. Disagreements about the details of the wedding can start those relationships off on the wrong foot and be the basis for a thousand other little problems for many years to come.

At a 50th wedding anniversary celebration that I attended recently, I had the opportunity to ask the long-married couple what the secret was to their long and obviously successful relationship.

The gentleman looked me in the eye and told me that I wasn’t the first person to ask that question and that he had been giving it some serious thought. He said that he might have a few answers.

He said, “When we got married back in ’56 the world was a lot different. We expected that we would stay married all of our lives. Getting divorced was a shameful thing. So we talked it over and we agreed that we would never let the sun set on hurt feelings or anger between us. It’s a lot easier to make up at night than it is over the breakfast table. And we agreed to never raise our voices to each other unless the house was on fire. I guess that’s about it”, he continued, “except that we just deal with all the little things as they come up and don’t let mole hills get as big as mountains before we talk them over.”

Maybe that’s the secret of a long and happy marriage...talk it over....agree to agree....starting with the wedding plans. This fantastic new e-book is chock-full of new ideas for you to help you plan a truly memorable, truly unique ceremony. Click Here To Lear More

Your Guide To Scuba Diving

Many people think that space is our final frontier – and that is not entirely true. While it is more difficult to get to outer space, we probably know more about the various planets and environments in space than we do about what lies beneath the surface of our oceans.

Just as in outer space, there is a whole environment, or ecosystem, under the waters that cover 75% of our planet, with 70% of our planet being ocean waters. Beneath those waters there really is an entirely new world -a world full of beauty and mystery that few humans have the opportunity to experience.

But the lucky few who do have the opportunity to experience this vast unde water world are able to do so because they are scuba divers. Obviously, human beings cannot breathe underwater, so instead, they rely on a portable respiratory system that is self contained.

In fact, that is what the word Scuba means: Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. This apparatus allows human beings to dive to depths that were once unthinkable, and to stay under the water for long periods of time, depending on how full the air tank is. Different mixtures of gasses are used in the air tank, depending on the length and depth of the planned dive.

Forages into this underwater world have become increasingly popular, especially since Scuba diving equipment makes it so easy. Now, if there is an ocean nearby, you can bet there are scuba divers, scuba lessons, and scuba diving clubs in the vicinity as well. There are even scuba diving clubs that are not located near oceans. These clubs plan trips around the world to go scuba diving in different oceans!

When you see the beauty that lives so peacefully under the water, it isn’t any wonder why scuba diving is so popular. In fact, it is a world that is so amazing and breath taking that you will want to make an under water camera part of your essential dive equipment.

While no sport suits everyone, most people who try scuba diving are hooked after their very first dive. Most people are looking forward to their next dive before they ever return home from the last dive. In our fast paced world, scuba diving offers the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief. Imagine a world where there are no phones, no palm pilots – and no rush.

You leave a world that is noisy, and enter a world where the only real noises you will hear are the bubbles from your scuba gear. Full view.  Click here to check it out

Exercise Without Effort

Like most people, you probably know that there are clear, tangible benefits to be gained from taking regular exercise, but, ideally, you would like to take that exercise without effort.


Exercise enables you to burn of the excess calories and thereby either lose weight or prevent extra bulk being added to your body in the first place. It makes you a fitter person as well, and that generally means that your life style will improve - you will have more energy to enjoy everything that you do - and live longer as a result.

The problem for most of us, however, is that (we claim) we do not have the time to take regular exercise, and for many folks, the inspiration or real desire to start exercising is just not there either.

When these people undoubtedly know that exercise is good for them, why should that be? Is it, perhaps, that taking up exercise seems to be far too much like hard work, and don't we do enough of that already?

This all hit home to me the other evening whilst I was reading an excellent new book 'Exercise without effort' that I recently managed to grab a copy of.

The first thing that struck me about the book was the title, which, being honest sounded a little absurd! After all, how can you 'exercise without effort' when effort is work?

However, after reading the book, my viewpoint has changed, and I'm pretty sure that yours would too.

By this I mean that those of us who are not exercise enthusiasts tend to view it as something that is outside our normal daily routine, whereas what the book does is highlight how exercise can (and should) be incorporated into that routine.

In other words, you do not need to go to the gymnasium or fitness club in order to get exercise. It is not necessary to go for a five mile run every morning, nor do you have to spend a small fortune on special training equipment or 'gear'.

'Exercise without effort' focuses on how exercise can be incorporated into you every day routine and how easy it is to do that.

Even if you work stuck behind a desk all day, every day, that is no excuse either, because there are simple, straightforward exercises that you can do even in the office environment that will get you fitter and more healthy in just a matter of days.

Now, before you get the comical image of someone in a singlet and shots prancing around the office doing their calisthenics, trust me, it is nothing like that. In fact, no-one else need even know that you are doing your exercises every day, although I wouldn't mind betting that, once they do and they see how much better you are looking, they'll be clamoring to join you.

Most of the ideas for exercise in the book are low-impact too, meaning that many are just about perfect for everyone, no matter what your physical condition is, or how old you are.

All in all, 'Exercise without effort' is a book that I would recommend to anyone that knows that they should be exercising more, but does not want to make a huge amount of effort to do so.

Getting fitter without killing yourself whilst doing so sounds just about ideal to me, so' Exercise without effort' gets a big thumbs up. Click here to check it out

Good Wine Guide - ebook

Many of us are not even vaguely familiar with the different varieties of wine that are available for purchase. In fact, some of us probably thought red wine and white wine were the only ones in existence. Most of us don’t have any idea of the number of varieties of wine that are in existence. We have dinner wines, dessert wines, red wines, white wines, dry red wine, dry white wine, sweet red wine, sweet white wine and much more. Before you serve your first dinner that includes wine, make sure to understand something about wines. Know what is proper to serve with different meals.

A general rule of thumb is white wine with white meat and red wine with red meat, but there may sometimes be variations to that. For instance, although chicken is a white meat, red wine is the customary wine of choice because it complements a chicken meal better than white wine.

Another variation is turkey which has both white meat and dark meat. Because of both white and dark meat on turkey, one can choose to serve either white or red wine while some may actually serve both—red to the guests who choose dark meat and white to those who choose white meat.

Another thing that is important to understand is the relationship between red wine and fish. Customarily you would serve white wine with fish but in the event you choose to serve red wine,it’s important to choose one that does not contain any tannins since the presence of tannins in twine you serve with fish may give the wine a metallic taste. Though the taste itself is not going to cause any harm, one drinks wine for the flavor thus having a metallic taste takes away from that. To avoid this possibility either serve white wine with fish or make sure the red wine you serve is free of tannins.

Before you have your first party or even serve your first wine with dinner make sure you know exactly what you should serve with the meal you have chosen. Taking the time to research and learn about how wines complement food, you will be able to make a better selection of wine to go with the dinner you are serving. The more dinners you serve the more educated, you will become about the proper wine to serve.

Learn the art of wine tasting with this handy wine guide. Those who partake of this activity do so in the same way. An artist may look at a painting or an author might evaluate a book. It is not just a quick tasting of wine but rather an entire process upon which the taster embarks. This and more is available in the Good Wine Guide ebook.
