The Packers are the only community owned franchise in the NFL. In fact, this type of ownership is illegal under current NFL rules, but the Packers were grandfathered in. They’ve always been in Green Bay, and their charter is set up so that it would be virtually impossible for them to move. Here’s why:

“Based on the original “Articles of Incorporation for the (then) Green Bay Football Corporation” put into place in 1923, if the Packers franchise were to have been sold, after the payment of all expenses, any remaining money would go to the Sullivan Post of the American Legion in order to build “a proper soldier’s memorial.” This stipulation was enacted to ensure the club remained in Green Bay and that there could never be any financial enhancement for the shareholders. At the November 1997 annual meeting, shareholders voted to change the beneficiary from the Sullivan-Wallen Post to the Green Bay Packers Foundation, which makes donations to many charities and institutions throughout Wisconsin.”

The Packers have won the most world championships (13) of any NFL team, the next closest being the Chicago Bears with 9. Both the glory years and the lean years (the Packers were 1-10-1 the year before Vince Lombardi took over) are recounted. Reading this article will be a nostalgic walk back in time.

Mental Tricks for Endurance Runners and Walkers Reviews

Mental Tricks for Endurance Runners and Walkers

Are you training more and enjoying it less? Are you giving your all as an endurance runner or walker but finding racing success frustratingly out of reach? Are you having trouble even finding time for training runs or walks?

If it seems as though you train and race hard but never reach your goals, then perhaps the problem is within your mind. Maybe what is holding you back is mental, not physical.

Mental Tricks for Endurance Runners and Walkers presents time-tested mental strategies to help you to achieve more with your training and racing than you ever dreamed possible.

Take it from Kirk Mahoney. He used to limit himself to 5K races and an occasional 10K race, not believing that he could run longer races. Then he joined a marathon training program, ran his first marathon, and fell in love with endurance racing.

Now with several marathons under his hydration belt, he runs SpryFeet.com, where he publishes practical research for runners and walkers.

What drives him to run and walk for miles at a time and to write about how others can do it, too? Was it athletic prowess, hard work, or both?

The answer may surprise you. It was not until he focused on the mental aspects of endurance running and walking that he finally found truly unlimited passion for the sport.

Endurance running or walking requires much more than physical training. It also requires mental skills. And the mental tricks in this book work so well, in fact, that Mahoney had to share them with the world, so that others could experience the joy and satisfaction that he feels with every long run or walk.

In the pages of this fast-reading, inspiring new book, Kirk walks you through a collection of mental tricks for endurance runners and walkers.

This unique set of tricks took Kirk more than two years to collect — based on many conversations with fellow endurance runners and walkers, endless hours of research and study, and trial-and-error with his own training and racing.

If you want to be the best endurance runner or walker that you can be, this book provides the mental tricks to unlocking a happier, more successful you.

As Kirk says, “The power to maximize your potential as an endurance runner or walker resides within you — in your mind!” Read Mental Tricks for Endurance Runners and Walkers to discover your true potential!Are you training more and enjoying it less?

The Girl On The Stairs: My Search For A Missing Witness To The Assassination Of John F. Kennedy

On November 22, 1963, a young Victoria Elizabeth Adams stood behind a fourth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. She watched as John Kennedy was murdered in the streets below. Then, with a co-worker in tow, she ran down the back stairs of the building in order to get outside and determine what had happened.
At that precise moment, her life changed forever.
Unbeknownst to her but certainly in the forefront of the government’s thinking was the fact that if Miss Adams was telling the truth, then she had descended those stairs at the same time Lee Oswald would have been on them as he made his escape from the sixth floor sniper’s nest.
Yet Miss Adams saw no one.
And even though the stairs were old, wooden, and very creaky under any weight, she heard no one on them.
Her story presented obvious problems for the Warren Commission's conclusion that Oswald was the sole assassin. When Miss Adams was called to testify before a Commission attorney, she was quickly discredited, humiliated, and eventually branded a liar. Behind closed doors she pleaded with the government to conduct time tests of her actions if she wasn't believed. She begged the government to question her co-workers, particularly the woman who had accompanied her down the stairs, if she was felt to have been inaccurate.
But she was ignored.
And so, knowing the truth of what she had done and now fearing for her life because of it, she went into hiding and became willing to die with that private knowledge.
Intrigued by what little was available about Miss Adams, the author went in search of her. It took him 35 years to eventually find this elusive witness. Along the way, many of the rumors and speculations surrounding the JFK assassination were finally put to rest. And in the end, the truth of what Miss Adams did was discovered.
This is an important story, unique in this mess surrounding the Kennedy assassination and buried for decades. It is an account the government did not want us to hear, and actually went to the extreme of fabricating evidence in order to prevent us from hearing it.
This is more than just another book on the JFK assassination.

Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom

In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date.

The term “Liberty” is so commonly used in our country that it has become a mere cliché. But do we know what it means? What it promises? How it factors into our daily lives? And most importantly, can we recognize tyranny when it is sold to us disguised as a form of liberty?

Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions. It is the seed of America.

This is a comprehensive guide to Dr. Paul’s position on fifty of the most important issues of our times, from Abortion to Zionism. Accessible, easy to digest, and fearless in its discussion of controversial topics, LIBERTY DEFINED sheds new light on a word that is losing its shape.In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date.

The Minimalist Woman’s Guide to Having it All

The book is divided into three main parts, each one focusing on a concept and a project that work toward understanding our consumer-based culture and how to step back from it. This detachment creates enough freedom in your life and mind to experience real contentment. Contentment is the key–it is not complacency, but more akin to satisfaction and cherishing.

Minimalists are known for living well with less stuff. The point isn't just having less stuff, but the benefits of having less stuff: more space, more time, more money, less trash, less cleaning, less organizing, less stress. The amount of time and space freed up is compounded by the sense of time and space regained, which gives back a precious sense of serenity and control to previously harried lives. Minimalists give Less a chance, and have almost universally experienced an amazing amount of contentment as a result.

Minimalism is living with just what you need. Needs are defined individually. Minimalism can include, but is not limited to, frugality or simple living. It can be done expensively, as in having the very best of just a very few things, or it can be done on a pittance. It is ideally debt-free. Space and time are given high value. Unrewarding things or activities are kept to a minimum.

A wonderful thing happens along the Minimalist path: you realize you've got enough mental and physical space to be yourself, that you are more than the sum total of your possessions, and you actually feel that you are enough in and of yourself. That's a feeling akin to contentment.

And that's why a Minimalist approach to life, stuff, and everything is a good way to Have it All.The book is divided into three main parts, each one focusing on a concept and a project that work toward understanding our consumer-based culture and how to step back from it.

The Secret World of Saints: Inside the Catholic Church and the Mysterious Process of Anointing the Holy Dead (Kindle Single)

When Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mohawk Indian, converted to Catholicism in 1676, she did it with gusto. She slept on a bed of thorns. She had a friend whip her. She put hot coals between her toes. She suffered from smallpox, and the disease left her almost blind. Yet she still fasted, in penitence, and ministered to the sick and elderly. When she died, it was said, the smallpox scars instantly vanished from her face. It wasn't long before people began to credit her with miracles.

Indeed, the Vatican has just announced, 300 years after her death, that Tekakwitha is a miracle worker. She will be named a saint—America's first indigenous saint, no less—as early as next fall. But what, exactly, does that mean? How does someone become a saint? What's the vetting process?

In this thoroughly entertaining investigation into the mysterious world of saints, Bill Donahue tells the strange and fascinating story of how the holy get their halos. The journey to canonization is long (sometimes, as in the case of Tekakwitha, it can take centuries), lurid (decayed body parts play a role), and, nowadays, surprisingly cutting-edge. Tekakwitha earned her saint status thanks to a medical miracle she allegedly caused in 2006: A boy suffering from a fatal flesh-eating bacteria suddenly and inexplicably recovered after his family prayed to the Blessed Kateri. Church experts grilled the boy's doctors, studied his MRIs and hospital chart, and came to the conclusion that a force stronger than modern medicine saved him.

In addition to Tekakwitha, Donahue introduces us to a cast of celestial characters, from Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II—both on the fast track to sainthood—to Saint Francis, Joan of Arc, and the shady Padre Pio, who claimed to suffer stigmata and raise bodies from the dead. But it's what happens after these holy folk die that's arguably even more intriguing. Mixing legend and science, history and on-the-ground reporting, The Secret World of Saints sheds light on one of the Catholic Church's most arcane and captivating traditions.

Early praise for “The Secret World of Saints”:

“My sinful covetousness for Bill Donahue’s talents and the fun he’s having here has put me out of the running for sainthood. I love his story anyway.”

EXCERPT:

“On the evening of the…twenty-first of September, 1823 …I betook myself to prayer and supplication to Almighty God….

“While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor.

“He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen; nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrists; so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. His head and neck were also bare. I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom.

“Not only was his robe exceedingly white, but his whole person was glorious beyond description, and his countenance truly like lightning. The room was exceedingly light, but not so very bright as immediately around his person. When I first looked upon him, I was afraid; but the fear soon left me.

“He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.

“He said there was a book deposited, written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang. He also said that the fulness of the everlasting Gospel was contained in it, as delivered by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants”

So begins the testimony of Joseph Smith, one of the most remarkable religious leaders and prophets of all time. His revelations have become sacred and his Book of Mormon, along with The Doctrine and Covenants and The Pearl of Great Price form the basis of the Mormon LDS Scriptures.

THE NORTHWEST GOLFER; Washington Edition covers all of the golf
courses in the state of Washington where the public can play. Besides public
courses, it includes all of the state’s semi-private courses that provide
regularly scheduled times when the public is welcome. In all, this volume
provides full details on 201 Washington golf courses.

Unless you’re looking for membership in a private club, this is the only
guide a Washington golfer will ever need. The eBook is an ideal addition to your
golf library. When you travel it can go with you, on your laptop or cell
phone, so you can quickly find the nearest golf course. This eBook is
interactive, giving golfers immediate access to course details.

While the Washington Edition covers all of Washington’s courses, a second
volume provides full details on all of Oregon’s courses. Each volume begins
with a brief introduction, and a map showing how the state has been divided
into four regions: Coast, I-5 Corridor, Central and Eastern. In the book, each
region has its own section, making it easy to find nearby courses.

The interactive table of contents lets you quickly jump to the region where
you want to play. Every town with a golf course open to the public appears
on the regional map; listings for all of the courses follow. An alphabetical list
of every golf course allows you to jump to any course you know by name.

A quick reference line appears at the beginning of each listing so that you
can instantly determine if a course is right for your schedule and budget.
Reservation phone numbers, as well as websites when available, have
been included. Next, you’ll learn what the terrain is like, when the course
is open, whether or not they require reservations, and what makes each
course special.

You’ll find out how much they charge for green fees and if they have
rental equipment, whether or not they have discount days or times
when golfers can play for reduced fees, if the course has a putting
green, driving range, practice area, or offers lessons, has a snack bar,
restaurant, lounge, overnight accommodations, banquet facilities, or
can provide help with tournament planning. At the end of each listing
you’ll find concise, easy-to-follow directions.

least Cordellia thought she was ordinary, that is before the U.S. economy crash

Why is she so undeniably drawn to this mysterious boy with
wicked silver eyes and a crooked grin that makes her body tingle all over? And
why did he take her away to enchanting woods with mesmerizing waterfalls and a
spellbinding lake only to avoid her like the plague?

But, worse than that, the music possesses her thoughts. It draws her to the boy and to a
prohibited place. So many seductive tunes and the dreams and the visions… It
lures her to the point of near madness to a place that could kill her and
everyone she loves. But, she can’t help it–when she sees the boy running toward
the forbidden, she can’t help but chase after him, she can’t help but sacrifice
everything for him. He is her other half even if he is entirely bad.

Foreclosed (The Mitzy Neuhaus Mysteries)

Mitzy Neuhaus is the top selling Realtor in Portland, but even her office is dead in this economy. Foreclosed is the word no homeowner wants to hear and Mitzy is determined to save the incredible mansion on her street from that fate. But with the homeowner desperate to keep Mitzy away from his property and Alonzo, the dangerously hot rival investor trying to snatch it out from under her, Mitzy knows she has to work fast, or the economy won’t be the only thing dead…

Excerpt from Foreclosed: A Mitzy Neuhaus Mystery    

     “Do you think we can still get the house? I mean, Mitzy is the best there is. I’m afraid if she doesn’t want us to have it, we won’t get it,” Carmella began to worry over the problem.
   
     “It will be fine.”

     “Are you sure? I mean, she really is the best. If she thinks it’s a bad spot for a business, maybe it is a bad spot for a business. I mean, who else would know if not her?” Carmella bit on her red lips as she wondered.

     “She is not the best. She just advertises a lot,” he gritted his teeth. He really felt like smashing something at the moment.

     “Oh come on. I don’t know what your problem is. She is too the best. Everybody knows her. Everybody sings her jingle. When you need a new home, you can call Neuhaus, New Homes! What’s not to love? She’s got kitsch factor like nobody.”
  
     “She’s not kitschy. She’s tasteless. She’s just…she’s just…annoying. She’s really annoying. She’s all the worst parts of the building and homes industry rolled into one person.” He braked hard at the light and regretted it as his head jerked forward.
 
     “Calm down, big boy. She really gets your goat, doesn’t she? No one else has a word to say against her. I’d think you’d love her, after all, she’s a “born again” like you,” she smirked as she said it, thinking her brother’s fad religion was as bad as Mitzy’s purple blazer.

     “So now all Christians are supposed to love each other, huh?”
    
     “That is kind of the point,” she said, hiding a smile.
   
     He drove on in silence. Yes. It was true. It was kind of the point. But that
didn’t mean he had to like it. Well, it sort of did.

     “Let’s get an offer on the Victorian this afternoon,” he said after some moments of silence.Mitzy Neuhaus is the top selling Realtor in Portland, but even her office is dead in this economy.

     “She’s not kitschy. She’s tasteless. She’s just…she’s just…annoying. She’s really annoying. She’s all the worst parts of the building and homes industry rolled into one person.” He braked hard at the light and regretted it as his head jerked forward.
 
     “Calm down, big boy. She really gets your goat, doesn’t she? No one else has a word to say against her. I’d think you’d love her, after all, she’s a “born again” like you,” she smirked as she said it, thinking her brother’s fad religion was as bad as Mitzy’s purple blazer.

     “So now all Christians are supposed to love each other, huh?”
    
     “That is kind of the point,” she said, hiding a smile.
   
     He drove on in silence. Yes. It was true. It was kind of the point. But that
didn’t mean he had to like it. Well, it sort of did.

     “Let’s get an offer on the Victorian this afternoon,” he said after some moments of silence.

Blood Passage (Blood Destiny #2)

“The sight of three naked, bloody men wandering into the clearing with moonlight clouding their eyes would probably send anyone else running for their life. I just sighed and watched them walk toward me.”

As the first female vampire successfully turned in 700 years, Lissa finds herself in demand by the Vampire Aristocracy. Forced into an unexpected engagement as a result, Lissa feels trapped and stifled as she continues training with her surrogate sire. When a request comes from the Grand Master of the werewolves, Weldon Harper, Lissa leaps at the opportunity to work as his bodyguard once more.

Wlodek, Head of the Vampire Council, in an effort to solidify vampire/werewolf relations, allows Lissa to provide protection for the Grand Master during his yearly travels across the U.S. The only vampire ever named Pack, Lissa is permitted to work with the Grand Master without supervision from others of her kind.

Things become complicated and then downright deadly as old enemies reemerge. Intent on exacting revenge for a failed coup against the Grand Master, rogue werewolves join with new and perilous allies. Now, Lissa must find a way not only to keep the werewolf race alive, but the vampires as well.”The sight of three naked, bloody men wandering into the clearing with moonlight clouding their eyes would probably send anyone else running for their life.
