People are coming over tonight and my house is a wreck. When I was a kid and my mom told me to clean my room, I just shoved everything under the bed and called it good. The mess I have today is all over the entire house, and my bed currently has no bed skirt to hide all this junk. I do however have a large box. Yes…I think the large box is my golden ticket to cleanliness. I plan on keeping this large box for a long time.

Dropping out of sub-space into the wrong galactic sector, Sethran Kada wakes up with a headache and an extraordinary alien aboard his ship. She implores him to help stop the abductions of her people, a newly evolved species emerging from sub-space. Their dangerous potential has caught the attention of rebel factions as well as the ruling Commonwealth. When contact with her kind turns pilots into casualties, the Governors fear an imminent invasion engineered by their rebel enemies.

Things get personal when his alien visitor begins to transform his mind and his life, turning the rescue mission into a fight for survival for all of them.

•What would you do if the hero of your family was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease?

•Would you call up the nearest nursing home?

•Would you stop everything and become the lifeline for this person, for the rest of his or her life?

Christine Zimmerman made that choice. She chose to drop college temporarily, and take the lead in caring for her beloved grandfather after he was unable to live alone due to Alzheimer’s disease. In Beyond Forgetting you will read a harrowing tale–first of a kind and brilliant man’s love for his granddaughter, and of her selfless return of that love. You will laugh and cry along with the Nelson family as that once-formidable man experiences many surprising, upsetting, and sometimes fascinating changes. You will be astounded by the admirable strength of Zimmerman in the face of shock, frustration, sadness, and guilt. Finally, you will watch her grandfather undergo the downward turn that makes Alzheimer’s a singularly devastating illness.

Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease that can rob the sufferer of his dignity, memory, strength, and even basic functions. Beyond Forgetting is an important book with something to teach everyone. Never macabre, maudlin, or miserable, the book maintains a positive, loving tone. It is a rare insight into an often-closed moment in the hardest part of many people’s lives. If you have a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, or know someone who does, it should be required reading.

Cheating on a Chicken Coop: 8 Cheap Ideas to House Your Backyard Hens and Save Money

Brand New: Save Money on a Chicken Coop!

[Note: This is a short “idea” book, not a set of building plans. Wherever possible, I have included links to simple building instructions for these ideas online, but you’ll need to be somewhat creative with the materials available to you. If you’re ready to save some money on a coop and start thinking outside the box (‘outside the coop’), then please read on!]

You’re thinking of getting some chickens to lay eggs in your backyard. And then you look at the price of chicken coops. Holy manure! $900 for a fancy box? What are they thinking? You decide that maybe you can make your own chicken coop on the cheap. So you download some free building plans.

Browsing through the coop plans, your eyes fix on the simplest hen house design. Okay, you’re thinking, that might be doable… in about five weekends. Then you read on and realize you don’t own a table saw… and you’ve never even heard of an auger bit. So you put your coop-building project on the back burner for awhile. This is a real shame, because you’d love to have chickens.

It shouldn’t have to be this way. Somewhere between the overpriced, readymade coops and the major DIY construction projects is a middle ground. I wrote this short book to introduce you to some functional alternatives: coops and non-coops made of affordable materials that are fairly simple to create (even for a non-builder like me).

Contents Include:

1. Cheaper Alternatives: Skipping the High Cost Chicken Coops

2. The 8 Things Every Chicken Coop Needs: Add Them To Any Structure and You Have a Coop

3. A-Frame Chicken Ark: A Functional and Affordable “Normal” Coop

4. Garden Hoophouse: Really Simple and Dirt Cheap

5. Chicken Box: Minimalist Design for Non-Builders

6. Go Native: Use Local Materials

7. Repurposing Big Ticket Items: Curbside Treasures and Old Vehicles

8. Making a Small Bantam House From a Wine Barrel, or Pickle Barrel: How About a Garbage Can?

9. Converting a Doghouse, Shed, Storage Area, or Extra Room: Building a Roosting Room in Your Garage

10. The De-Constructed Coop: Letting Them Figure It Out

The coops in this book will never look like a $1500 gingerbread house, but they are as clean and functional as any other design. Making use of available structures and affordable materials, they keep costs and prep times to a minimum. Most importantly, your back yard chickens will have everything they need and will be thrilled with what you give them. As you know, happy chickens lay lots of eggs!

This is an idea book, not a set of building plans. However, for many of these coop designs, you will find links in this book to step-by-step online instructions, building plans, “how to” videos, and photographic slideshows depicting coop constructions and conversions. The others have pictures, descriptions, and hopefully will inspire you to go out and customize your own simple version of what you see. If you know how to cut wood with a handsaw and screw in a screw, I think you’ll be just fine. These designs are about as stripped-down as any designs can get.
