RAILWAY TIMESIt's the mid nineteen-fifties. Archie Charlie, a steam engine commissioned in nineteen forty-seven, is busy traveling the rails in the expert hands of his driver, Fred Hoxton. Fred is a confirmed bachelor who has decided to make his home in a cozy corner of the engine shed. The two of them have developed such a close relationship that they are able to work together without the need for a fireman on the footplate. A number of happenings enliven the drab British Railways scene at this time, all involving this engine and his driver. These include the setting up of a social club for locomotives, an impromptu picnic; drama on a bank holiday, the unexpected appearance of romance, plus the rendering of a song or two. All these events and more are chronicled here. So why not step back to a time when balloons of smoke heralded the arrival of a train and compartment windows were opened with a strap. Please show all tickets at the barrier.

'Time was, When we had fun round the schoolyard swings, When we exchanged graduation rings, One lovely yesterday...'These are sweet lyrics from a pretty tune.

The appearance of a gold pocket watch, the mystery surrounding a man who has vanished and a career hiatus are a few of the many events that play their part in a complex tale leading up to a 78rpm disc being placed on an autochange turntable.

While it is true to say that the Venom carried out more operational ground attack sorties than any other RAF aircraft since the Second World War, its history has hitherto been sadly neglected or misreported. With the co-operation and assistance of many former Service and civilian pilots, the record can finally be set straight in what is the definitive history of this ground-attack, all weather and naval strike fighter. David Watkins discusses the problems of the trials and development programme and takes a detailed look at the aircraft's operational service with the air arms of Australia, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Iraq and Venezuela. Of particular interest is new information relating to the Sea Venom's career with the Fleet Air Arm and the catastrophic wing failures and engine fires that plagued the early Second Tactical Air Force Venoms. It also contains a comprehensive account of Venom sorties during the Suez campaign, the 'Firedog' operations in Malaya and the protracted anti-terrorist offensive in Aden and Oman. These accounts throw new light on the conflicts and have been compiled from interviews, private papers and personal accounts. Accompanying the text is a wealth of photographs, line drawings and maps, a number of which are from private collections and are previously unpublished.

Everyone projects out of body when they sleep, according to metaphysicist Robert Bruce and information technology professional Brian Mercer. This revolutionary yet easy-to-follow audio course teaches you how to consciously have an out-of-body experience (OBE) and remember your life-changing journey into the astral realm. The exercises in this album teach you to mimic the body's natural sleep projection process with two key differences: you're making it happen on purpose and your mind will remain awake and alert while it happens. The six-CD set also features binaural-beat sound technology that induces the ideal state of consciousness for astral projection. A helpful 64-page instruction guide provides additional tips, techniques, and illustrations for achieving a successful out-of-body experience. Effective for both beginning and advanced astral projection practitioners, this CD set can be used alone or as a companion to the book.
