To everyone close to Drake Cassidy, shy, bespectacled Evan O'Donoghue seems to be a complete mismatch; to look at the two of them together, they appear to have nothing in common. Thirty-year-old Drake is a self-employed auto mechanic with a busy garage and two passions; during the day, he practices one of those passions in his coveralls, working on cars. In the evenings, he indulges his other true passion of music, playing with his friends and bandmates on a little stage in the back of his garage. On weekends, he likes to take his vintage Porsche to car shows...and almost always wins the prize for "Best in Show"... Evan O'Donoghue is an innocent...completely untouched; he's never been kissed, never been in love. At twenty-eight, he has almost given up hope of finding love...almost. Shy and introverted, when Evan isn't working at the posh menswear store he manages, or at the Chestnut Hill library in the evening, he's reading or writing poetry in the notebook he always keeps with him. His own secret passion is the Classic Mercedes automobile he inherited, and after countless hours of restoration, Evan decides to take his Mercedes to a local car show, where he meets confident but gentle Drake Cassidy. They are so different...total opposites...or are they? Looks can often be deceiving, though; something stirs, and in the end, it's what is in the heart...two wild, secretly rebellious hearts, that matters...

Ce nouveau livre, L'évolutionnisme théiste. Ses racines et ses conséquences, aborde l'évolution sous un angle autre que ne le fait l'Introduction apologétique au premier commandement. L'idole de notre temps : la science quantitative moderne, ouvrage, qui s'attaquait aux aberrations logiques et scientifiques d'une macroévolution à la fois naturaliste, matérialiste et athée.Le livre entre vos mains cherche par contre à réfuter un évolutionnisme religieux qui se prétendrait théiste ; cette théorie prouvant l'évolution du monde par l'action divine elle-même. Pour ce faire l'auteur remonte aux sources médiévales du nominalisme de Guillaume d'Occam - son rejet des universaux - qui, en détruisant les bases conceptuelles de l'ordre de l'univers, refuse toute stabilité à la réalité, en particulier aux espèces.Il débute par une suite d'aphorismes traitant des racines et des conséquences d'une évolution revêtant un masque religieux d'origine divine . Le lecteur est ainsi ramené à la source évolutionniste lointaine de bien des erreurs actuelles, théologiques, philosophiques et scientifiques.De telles aberrations religieuses proviennent de l'héritage volontariste, subjectif et idéaliste d'Occam. Elles aboutissent à une mystique vitaliste, autocréatrice, celle de cette évolution créatrice au c¿ur de la philosophie de Henri Bergson. C'est ainsi que l'évolutionnisme théiste en vient à refuser tout ordre à la création, aboutissant alors à une déstabilisation générale, dont celle d'une intelligence apte à comprendre le monde. La suite de l'ouvrage reproduit le débat de J.-M. Berthoud avec Henri Blocher et réfute, pour terminer, les positions contradictoires d'Alvin Plantinga qui, tout en rejetant le naturalisme scientiste, en vient à remplacer la Parole divine, en tant qu'ordonnatrice du réel, par le fantôme d'une évolution imaginaire.

What you are about to read between the covers of this book is the fifth volume of the collected works of Paolo Cavalli.We first encountered Paolo through his published works and then through several online forums (including some of the non-public ones). In all of these he graciously shared with us his wisdom and experience. Over the years we have exchanged literally hundreds of emails with him in which we have discussed creative and artistic topics in addition to personal and private matters.We have come to know him as a man whose literary skills and empathy are only surpassed by his helpfulness and generosity. We have learned so much from his creative genius, and gained so much inspiration from our conversations, that claiming he influenced our work would be a huge understatement.You will therefore understand how delighted we were when Paolo kindly agreed to allow us to republish his works in printed format. We have always held the view that Paolo's works were not as widely known or appreciated as they might be or, indeed, to the extent that they deserved. Many of the ideas and concepts that you'll find within these pages are not only genuine and original but also reveal the mind-set of a deep and unconventional thinker.The first volumes of The Cavalli Files comprise Paolo's previous published works. The final volumes, under the title Notes from the Lord's Diary, will offer you something really special: Drafts, outlines and expose¿s from Paolo's original sketch books! Parts of these are his 'works in progress', ideas and concepts that have never before seen the light of day.When Paolo sent us his material we set about revising the text and adjusting the layout. Then we thought long and hard about whether or not we should get it proofread and copy edited. Finally, we decide against it. If you didn't already know you could probably guess from his surname alone that English is not Paolo's native language. And even though his skills in the English language are extraordinary you may still spot some Italian syntax and sentence construction.And as you hear the Italian accent coming through the text you may find yourself transported to the sweeping vistas of the land of fine arts - Italia. This voice will, we hope, help you to connect with Paolo as if he was speaking to you personally in your own room.So here we go! We proudly present the fifth volume of The Cavalli Files: Notes from the Lord's Diary 1!

Occult advice for those on theMagical PathThe magical path is full of pitfalls, blind alleys, and many monsters that will get in your way. Occult, philosophical teachers and books provided short aphorisms for students to help them guide their way and prevent them from being eaten by too many metaphorical dragons. These books have fallen by the wayside, along with the collective knowledge of those teachers.In Things my Hierophant should have told me, the occult writer and magician Nick Farrell brings together a collection of short essays providing advice for those moments when a demon has disembowelled your cat or your washing machine appears possessed by an Eldritch abomination. Packed full of cartoons and illustrations, Farrell is sometimes silly and light-hearted about questions that he has been taking seriously for 30 years.This book was first written a decade ago for a select group and has been extensively expanded and improved for a wider audience by Farrell's more recent experiences and experiments. It also includes answers to questions that he regularly fields on social media.Things my Hierophant should have told me, is a book for those on the path to pick up and read a paragraph or two whenever there is a spare moment between the terror which is their existence to reassure them that it is probably going okay.

The first amateur motion picture camera was massively produced in 1923, shortly after the introduction of 9,5 mm film by the Pathé Frères in France 101 years ago, in December 1922, and of 16 mm film by the Eastman Kodak Company in America a month later. The present collection depicts 101 movie cameras manufactured between the 1920s and the 1980s, most using 8 mm perforated celluloid film. A full-page 'portrait' of each model is accompanied by an exposé of its main technical specifications on the facing page. The guided tour leafs through a range of makes and companies from an era when novelty, aesthetics, industrial design, and competition for the commercial home market propelled the creation of sculptures out of metal and glass for the wide use by individuals and families who aspired to preserve their visual impressions in motion. The book is a useful source for hobbyists and collectors.

Elizabeth Roxanne Haysom (*1964) is the protagonist of one of the most spectacular crimes of the last decades. In March 1985, she had her parents murdered by her lover Jens Soering, the then 18-year-old son of a German diplomat. To this day, there is speculation as to whether Haysom herself was at the crime scene. - The gruesome massacre was preceded by a fierce love affair between the highly gifted students. Letters that Haysom and Soering sent to each other before the crime, as well as a joint diary they kept during the escape, are characterized by high literary quality and intellectual brilliance - and this primarily applies to Elizabeth Haysom's writings. The two perpetrators, each sentenced to 90 years, were released on parole in November 2019 after more than 33 years in prison. Elizabeth Haysom has remained silent since her conviction. Only a column that she wrote between 2003 and 2008 for a regional newspaper, the ¿Fluvanna Review¿, gives insight into her feelings and once again shows her great writing talent. These numerous essays are collected in this book, as well as a more recent statement from the year 2019.

L'auteur commence son ouvrage par rappeler un sujet important, plus que jamais sous attaque : l'autorité première de la Bible. En effet, il développera la défense du thème qui l'intéresse se basant premièrement sur cette autorité ultime (extérieure à la sienne propre), la Parole de Dieu. Ceci à l'exemple du Christ qui, lors de son séjour parmi nous, déclarait que si ce qu'il affirmait n'avait pour unique source que sa seule personne, ses paroles n'avaient pas de valeur absolue. C'est pour cela qu'Il proclama à de nombreuses reprises que son enseignement lui avait été transmis par son Père céleste (Jean 8). Il est Lui-même la Parole de Dieu envoyée par Dieu sur terre. Jean-Marc Berthoud cite ici Thomas d'Aquin qui affirma : De tous les arguments, celui qui se base sur la Bible est le plus fort, parce qu'il s'appuie sur Celui qui se trouve être, en sa Personne divine, l'autorité ultime, suprême et infaillible, qui ne saurait ni mentir ni se tromper. Après cette démonstration, l'auteur présente de nombreux passages de la Bible, pour défendre le thème de ce livre : la terre ne se meut pas .Dans son troisième point, il relèvera le fait que la science la plus pointue ne parvient pas à prouver la mobilité de la terre. Puis il mettra en lumière les enjeux théologiques et métaphysiques du débat entre le géo¬centrisme et l'héliocentrisme dont - selon l'astronome Gerardus Bouw - le moteur, son principe et son modèle conceptuel a été d'exclure Dieu de sa propre création [...] , donc de la science elle aussi.Dans les Annexes, Berthoud reproduit des textes d'auteurs divers, dont des scientifiques chevronnés et des philosophes, allant dans ce sens. Ils nous font comprendre l'importance de cette question qui à la longue en vint à bannir Dieu et sa Parole de toute notre culture.

What-do-i-know Implies that a statement is based on a guess or assumption rather than on knowledge or evidence. It is only fair to give this title to this specific book, because it all started that way.There is only one way. Facts are the only way. Facts can never fail.What you will find in this book is a desire, an action, ideas to act upon what you presume to be truth... All you need to do is follow the instructions as written. We need to take responsibility for our ignorance and learn from what is supplied. Sure it is a struggle at first, just like cooking, cutting hair, fixing cars or playing the guitar, but if you persevere you will gradually build understanding.Why would this matter? Well it matters because we know fully well what's going on here and how and why is happening and why did it happen. We need to be able to recognise the patterns and we definitely need to grow up and take action. The way is not always clear and that's okay, there's not a single one way to follow, well, there's no one to follow to be honest. It is a unique path, a path that you will build. Yes you can go read other peoples work, or listen to a podcast but, it will all come down to You, what use will you give to the energy that you spend doing that research or whatever the source of your choosing. Let's not forget that all the sum of your experiences will determine the knowledge accumulated and the action taken towards that finish line, Your finish line. I surely HOPE you enjoy this book and remember we know nothing at all!!
