The first four films from the hugely popular 'Carry On' series. In
'Carry On Sergeant' (1958), a sergeant (William Hartnell) takes a
bet that the last recruits he trains will win the 'Star Squad'
award. The sergeant's inept young charges include Bob Monkhouse,
Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor. In 'Carry On
Teacher' (1959), trouble erupts at a secondary school when
inspectors arrive to evaluate the teachers' work. A group of pupils
(led by a youthful Richard O'Sullivan) who don't want their teacher
transferred to a different job play up. In 'Carry On Nurse' (1959),
the patients in a men's hospital ward decide to revolt against the
staff, as led by the indomitable Matron (Hattie Jacques). Finally,
in 'Carry On Constable' (1959), police sergeant Wilkins (Sid James)
has a new batch of dubious recruits on his hands, whose idea of
covert surveillance involves dressing up in drag.
A roadmap for US military innovation based on the Navy's history of
success through civilian-military collaborations The US military
must continually adapt to evolving technologies, shifting
adversaries, and a changing social environment for its personnel.
In American Defense Reform, Dave Oliver and Anand Toprani use US
naval history as a guide for leading successful change in the
Pentagon. American Defense Reform provides a historical analysis of
the Navy during four key periods of disruptive transformation: the
1940s Revolt of the Admirals, the McNamara Revolution in systems
analysis, the fallout from the Vietnam War, and the end of the Cold
War. The authors draw insights from historical documents,
previously unpublished interviews from four-star admirals, and
Oliver's own experiences as a senior naval officer and defense
industry executive. They show that Congress alone cannot
effectively create change and reveal barriers to applying the
experience of the private sector to the public sector Ultimately,
Oliver and Toprani show that change can only come from a
collaborative effort between civilians, the military, and industry,
each making vital contributions. American Defense Reform provides
insights and practical recommendations essential to reforming
national defense to meet future demands.
A helpful, comprehensive workbook for developing a deeper, more
meaningful prayer life. More than just teaching, this book contains
exercises that will help you slow down your live and experience the
presence of God.
Triple bill of British movies produced by the Children's Film
Foundation. In 'Supersonic Saucer' (1956) an alien from Venus
befriends a group of children and helps them to fend off a band of
thieves. In 'Kadoyng' (1972) three youngsters team up with an
extra-terrestrial being in an attempt to stop their village being
demolished. In 'The Glitterball' (1977) two boys help a young alien
get back to its mothership with the Air Force and a petty criminal
hot on their heels.
At a time when there is very little entertainment except for an
occasional barn dance or a shopping trip to Pontotoc or Toccopola,
the Baptist Church is the big show, and the Reverend James Robert
Williams is the star. After a successful spring revival in 1914 in
which sixty-four souls are brought into the fold, the handsome
silver-tongued preacher falls from grace into the open arms of the
lovely Elvira. The preacher finds himself faced with two choices:
duty, honor, and respectability on the one hand, and on the other,
Simon-pure love blended and harmonized with the steamy passion of
carnal lust. The constable, Little Joe, who pursues the couple, was
actually the author's grandfather.
From large industrial distilleries to craft distilleries operated
by one man, discover whiskies from around the world and in your own
backyard. Each distillery listed includes their location and their
whiskies. Let it guide you to your next drink or on your next
whisk(e)y tour.
There is nothing that outwardly conveys the identity of a craft
distilled spirit more than its label. It is the calling card that
gives the consumer a hint about what is inside the bottle. And it
speaks volumes about the individuality of the distillery, the
distiller who made it, and why. It is in the frontier between
strict federal legal requirements and the limits of tired,
traditional post-Prohibition labels where an unprecedented
creativity in label design is now occurring. It is quite an
exciting time in the distilled spirits industry as there are now
well over 254 craft distilleries in the United States. As more
distilleries are added to that list, we will continue to see a
surge in creativity in both the products produced and the labels
designed to grace the front of each bottle.
The pot still is a distinctive characteristic of the craft
distilling industry. Now, with over 350 craft distilleries in the
USA, pot stills are scattered throughout the country, in many
different settings. Each still is carefully attended to and adapted
to the distiller and distillate. This book is the result of having
driven over 33,000 miles-visiting and photographing over 100 of the
craft distilleries utilizing pot stills.
In this detailed guide for the modern moonshiner, the President of
"The American Distilling Institute" conveys the basic techniques
for quick and easy homemade bourbon: how to use sugar to distill a
'moonshine'; how to build an inexpensive corn cooker and make corn
whiskey; how to build a mash tun to create a grain whiskey wash;
and, finally, the piece de resistance, how to distill that wash
into whiskey.
