by The BlokeheadQuando a catástrofe nos atinge, o último sítio onde queremos estar é entalados numa fila na mercearia da esquina. É essencial ter uma reserva alimentar de emergência – ou aquilo que os sobrevivencialistas apodam de despensa de sobrevivência ou em caso de catástrofe – caso queira sobreviver a uma catástrofe e às suas sequelas. O que são alimentos de validade curta? Existem alimentos de validade longa e existem alimentos de validade curta. Os alimentos de emergência com validade longa são aqueles que têm um tempo de prateleira longo e o podem alimentar por um período de tempo indefinido. São aqueles produtos que podem ficar na prateleira sem se estragar durante muito tempo. Os alimentos comercializados como sendo de emergência a longo prazo normalmente são vendidos em recipientes grandes ou em lotes e podem não se assemelhar à comida que está habituado a comer regularmente. Os alimentos de curta validade, por sua vez, não duram tanto tempo mas ainda o podem manter nutrido enquanto se debate com a parte pior da catástrofe. Estes podem incluir artigos alimentares que come normalmente e/ou alguns dos seus alimentos favoritos, i.e. artigos alimentares que não são necessariamente duradouros ou particularmente nutritivos mas que são importantes porque você e a sua família gostam de os comer.

Autosufficienza: Una guida completa per la sopravvivenza dell'intera famiglia!
by The BlokeheadIn caso di catastrofe, la fila chilometrica del supermercato all’angolo è l’ultimo posto in cui si vorrebbe essere. Avere una scorta alimentare di riserva – quella che i survivalisti chiamerebbero “scorta di sopravvivenza” – è essenziale se si vuole vivere abbastanza a lungo da assistere alle conseguenze della sciagura. Cosa sono gli alimenti indispensabili a breve scadenza? Esistono alimenti indispensabili a lunga scadenza e alimenti indispensabili a breve scadenza. I primi sono quelli che hanno una lunga durata di conservazione e che forniscono nutrimento per un periodo indefinito. Sono quei prodotti che si piazzano su una mensola e lì rimangono per molto tempo. Gli alimenti commercializzati come indispensabili a lunga scadenza solitamente si trovano in grandi lattine o confezioni e magari non hanno neppure l’aspetto di ciò che si mangia regolarmente. Al contrario, gli alimenti indispensabili a breve scadenza non durano quanto i primi ma comunque forniranno il sostentamento necessario per superare la peggiore delle catastrofi. Tra questi vi sono alimenti che solitamente si mangiano e potrebbero addirittura essere il vostro cibo preferito; ad esempio alimenti non necessariamente di lunga conservazione o particolarmente nutrienti ma ugualmente importanti perché a voi e la vostra famiglia piace mangiarli.

Away All Boats: A Personal Guide for the Small-Boat Owner
by John ColeHigh-spirited and passionate--at once a useful guide and a record of an extended love affair with small boats--Away All Boats is a blending of sparkling waterlands and vivid memories.Author of Striper and Fishing Came First, John N. Cole takes readers from the dangers of haul-seining for striped bass that challenge a wooden dory's limits in the surf to the excitement of searching the flats of the Florida Keys for tarpon and other game fish aboard a shall-draft, high-tech craft perfectly matched to the task. Evocative of nature's miracles and realities (and the foibles of men who go down to the sea in "ships"), the writing is dry and witty, tender and perceptive. Alongside the hard facts and opinions about the selection, refitting, maintenance, and use of small boats is a series of wonderful stories about the author's explorations as a bayman and fisherman in the waters of eastern Long Island, Maine, and the Florida Keys. Each boat described serves to introduce a key chapter in the author's life and his taste for adventure.John Cole's first love is the skiff, rowboat, dory, or sharpie--any relatively stable wooden boat that can be easily and efficiently rowed--but the author also takes on larger craft powered by the internal combustion engine to indicate that every boat is designed to perform a limited family of functions. The trick, as we learn in these robust pages, is to find the boat you need (not always the boat you want), and Cole offers practical advice on how to go about it. The surprise is that a good boat doesn't have to be expensive; some are even gifts from the sea. As to basic equipment, the author keeps the advice simple: a compass, charts, a tachometer, an ammeter, an understanding of local winds and tides, and, with luck, an informed "weather eye" to minimize risks in open water.

Away Went the Balloons
by Carolyn HaywoodFrom the bookjacket: This ingenious book is about a very special holiday: Balloon Day that is celebrated at Blue Bell School each May. The pupils release balloons with a tag asking the finder to send a message back to the owner. The school is real, the holiday takes place, but the adventures of the seven balloons Carolyn Haywood relates here are the product of her imagination. Lynette and her first-grade classmates let their balloons float away with a maximum of excitement and a minimum of efficiency. Six are soon heard from. They end up in an odd assortment of places: a circus, a children's hospital, a tree house, a sailboat, a clothesline, and a dog show. Lynette, however, does not get a letter, and she is bitterly disappointed. Then, in the most surprising adventure of all, Lynette discovers her own balloon, and it turns out to be the only one ever to come back to school. Each of the eight chapters is a story in itself. Together they make a book that offers an astonishing variety of mood and incident.
Awesome Bill from Dawsonville: My Life in NASCAR
by Bill Elliott Chris MillardIn this long-awaited autobiography, the legendary Bill Elliott details his childhood in rural North Georgia, building cars from scratch, struggling on the anonymous small-time tracks of the South to his against-the-odds rise to the pinnacle of NASCAR stardom: Winston Cup Champion. From Daytona to Talladega, from Bristol to Sonoma, ride shoulder to shoulder with Elliott as he battles Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Rudd, Rusty Wallace, and Alan Kulwicki for NASCAR's ultimate prize. Through Elliott's eyes we meet the colorful cast of old-school characters who built NASCAR: Cale Yarborough, Junior Johnson, the Allisons, Carl Kiekhaefer, and, of course, the France family. We join Bill in the car (and under it) as he sets the all-time record for the fastest official speed ever recorded in a stock car (a record he still holds today). Learn the secret—revealed for the first time—behind the Elliott family's unquestioned mastery of the sport's super speedways. Watch NASCAR grow from a southern diversion into a national phenomenon, and see Bill Elliott grow with it, ultimately becoming one of the sport's most popular heroes. In 1985 Elliott captured the inaugural Winston Million and became the first NASCAR driver ever to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Three years later he captured the Winston Cup Championship. He went on to be voted NASCAR Driver of the Decade for the 1980s by NASCAR fans. He was also voted Most Popular Driver sixteen times. Elliott also shares his thoughts on the dark side of the racing life: the stresses it can place on relationships, the ever-present physical risks, and the weight of fame. He addresses the racing-related deaths of competitors and friends. He is candid and critical in discussing the intense rivalry between him and the late Dale Earnhardt, and he sheds new light on their storied relationship as well as on Earnhardt's shocking death. Elliott discusses the future of NASCAR with critiques of its management and restrictor plates, and he takes on the controversial issues of track and driver safety. A window into the compelling personality of Bill Elliott, as well as a primer on the ascent of America's fastestgrowing sport, this is the definitive insider's view of the rising NASCAR nation.
