A regular contributor to the Primrose Sperm Bank, Cyril takes consolation from the large number of red-haired childrenmany with green eyesin Primrose, a majority LGBT city. When his wife Joyce Coral was out of town, Cyrils brother-in-law Joseph Aerie came over to show off his latest thirteen-year-old boy companion, red-haired, green-eyed Craig Kerjack, to stay overnight. While Cyril was humiliated by Josephs visit, he found Craig charming and intelligent, and the two formed an immediate platonic friendship. When the ex-husband of Josephs sister claimed that his ex-wife was not much of a woman, possibly not a woman at all, Joyce Coral, Cyrils former girlfriend, was plunged into a deep depression. To rehabilitate her and prove the ex-husband wrong, Cyril married her. Years later, when Joseph Aerie remarked to Cyril that Joyce Coral was a transexual, the result of a botched circumcision. For Cyril, who had spent his life trying to be straight in a predominantly LGBT society, this was the ultimate humiliation. He then suffered a mental breakdown resulting in an extended coma. Eventually regaining consciousness, Cyril found Craig at his bedside, and both realized that Craig is Cyrils biological son.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very different kind of a cook book. Most recipes in this book date back to a time when cholesterol was unknown and a triglyceride was thought of as a creature that walked with the dinosaurs. A time when food was eaten because it tastes good, rather than if it was healthy or not. If it didnt taste good, you didnt eat it (consider small children and strained spinach or peas). These recipes are not for the diet or health conscious person as they contain lots of fat, butter, meat drippings (lard) and such. Also, they should not to be eaten as a daily fare because most of them are considered to be unhealthy at this point in time. However, when you get a craving for something that tastes better than cardboard, sawdust, leather or mush, its time to break out these recipes. When you finish one of these meals youll know that youve eaten something that really satisfies your taste buds without all the doctoring of spices to add flavor. Now you can go back to healthy diet foods until the urge hits you again to have a really great tasting meal.

Download or read book The Renaissance Flute written by Kate Clark and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renaissance flute, with its rich history, stunning repertoire, and mellow tone, has attracted a significant following among flutists, whether they specialize in modern flute or historical instruments. Yet, actually delving into the study of renaissance flute has proven a challenge - there exists a confusing array of editions of renaissance music, specialized (and often expensive) facsimiles of manuscripts and early prints, and in unfamiliar notations, while at the same time there is a dearth of resources for beginners. Confronting this challenge with the first ever practitioners' handbook for renaissance flute, Kate Clark and Amanda Markwick offer flutists of all levels a clear and accessible introduction to the world and repertoire of the instrument. In The Renaissance Flute: A Contemporary Guide, Clark and Markwick cover all aspects, from practicalities such as buying and maintaining the instrument, to actual music for solo and group performance, to theory designed to improve the understanding and playing of renaissance polyphony. This approach enables students to immerse themselves at their own pace and build on their skills with each chapter. With nearly 40 full pages of exercises, and a companion website with recorded examples and filmed instructions from the authors, The Renaissance Flute provides professionals and newcomers alike a new entryway into the world and practice of renaissance music.

Download or read book Tooth and Nail written by Linda D. Dahl and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Syrian American surgeon chronicles her path to becoming one of New York City’s first female ring-side boxing doctors in this exhilarating memoir. Fresh out of medical school, Linda Dahl began her surgical residency in the Bronx as a total fish out of water. Growing up in a Middle Eastern family in the American Midwest, she was a born outsider, and in her new community in New York, she felt even more isolated. Even at work she struggled to fit in: among her fellow specialists, she was one of the only women. One night, at her husband’s urging, Dahl watched a boxing match between Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya. Seeing Mosley survive against the odds gave Dahl hope that she, too, could find her footing. As her fandom grew, boxing became a way to connect with her patients and community. Later, when she was in practice on the Upper East Side, Dahl received a phone call from the New York State Athletic Commission. They were looking for a fight doctor. Dahl accepted. Tooth and Nail chronicles the years Dahl spent as an ear, nose and throat surgeon by day and a ringside physician by night. Intrepid, adrenaline-fueled and loaded with behind-the-scenes takes on famous boxers, including Mike Tyson, Wladimir Klitschko and Miguel Cotto, Dahl’s story offers a modern examination of sexism, dislocation, the theater of boxing and a road map for how to excel in two very different male-dominated worlds. A Boston Globe Best Sports Book of 2018 Praise for Tooth and Nail “In examining the classic fight to survive with a lens that feels paradoxically universal and unique, Dahl has written a memoir with enough fisticuffs for the fight fan, enough medicine for the scalpel supplicant and enough human drama for anyone who has ever felt alienated . . . Dahl’s punchy prose maintains two feet squarely on the ground, plugging away at the challenges she faced in the male-dominated worlds of medicine and boxing . . . In atavistic victory or poleaxed defeat, Dahl views her powerful reflection in a blood-sprayed mirror.” —Paste Magazine “Entertaining. . . . Dahl offers a unique look at the world of boxing in this uplifting story about realizing one’s destiny.” —Publishers Weekly “Dahl makes funny observations about the macho ringside crowd. . . . This is one fascinating tale.” —Booklist
