The curious, wandering traveler was always welcome to stop for a rest; to visit and partake of a meal or refreshment while spinning yarns of his wondrous adventures. Any excuse for a social gathering was accepted, and food was most certainly an important part of any group related activity. The favorite recipe was shared. Many became known by their special dish.

Sheltowee: The Adoption of Boone This exciting wilderness adventure was inspired by true accounts of the near fatal adoption of Kentucky pioneer Daniel Boone by Chief Blackfish, War Chief of the Shawnee Indian Nation, on the periphery of the American Revolution. It follows the capture, adoption and escape of Boone and the siege of Fort Boonesborough by the Shawnee that came thereafter. During the severe Kentucky winter of 1777-78 frontier legend Daniel Boone was captured by a Shawnee war party who were on their way to annihilate the fort at Boonesborough under direction of their British allies. In order to protect the settlers and save the fort, Boone surrendered himself and 28 men to Chief Blackfish. Boone was considered perhaps the most prized trophy an Indian could attain at that time. Chief Blackfish was more interested in flaunting his prize before the British and the other Indian tribes of the region, so he offered Boone the opportunity of proving himself worthy to be a chief's son. In a series of grueling tests of manhood, Boone was pitted against the top braves of the tribe. After successfully passing the rites, Boone was adopted as the son of Chief Blackfish and given the Shawnee name of Sheltowee. This brought him to another near death situation. He had saved the men, escaped death by the British as well as the Indians, but was now considered a traitor by several of the pioneers. To fulfill his mission, Boone had to escape from the Indians, make his way through the wilderness with a war party hot on his trail; warn the fort, and prepare for a siege by 600 warring savages, who had been provided weapons and incentive by the conniving British Governor, "Hair-buyer" Hamilton. The story plays out at the historic siege on Fort Boonesborough.

The year 2014 has a special significance that is addressed in this book by Robert Powell and Estelle Isaacson. Dr. Robert Powell is a spiritual researcher who in this short work-and in many other books-brings the results of his own research investigations. Estelle Isaacson is a contemporary seer who is gifted with a remarkable ability to perceive new streams of revelation. Both have been blessed in an extraordinary way by virtue of accessing the realm wherein Christ is presently to be found. Powell makes the critical point that the year 2014 not only denotes the beginning of a new 600-year cultural wave in history but also that there is an ancient prophecy applying to this very same year, 2014, which can be interpreted as pointing to the onset of the twenty-first-century incarnation of the Bodhisattva who will become the future Maitreya Buddha, the successor to Gautama Buddha. Powell also makes the crucial point that the Maitreya Buddha awaited in Buddhism is the same as the Kalki Avatar expected in Hinduism. Powell's contribution serves as an introduction to Isaacson's offering, comprising a series of six visions relating to the future Maitreya Buddha. The visions are highly inspirational, communicating something of the profound spirituality, peace, radiance, and, above all, goodness of this Bodhisattva who is Gautama Buddha's successor. His title, Maitreya, means "bearer of the good," and in Isaacson's visions he emerges as a remarkable force for good in our time. Also included in this book are two appendices: A Survey of Rudolf Steiner's Indications Concerning the Maitreya Buddha and the Kalki Avatar and Valentin Tomberg's Indications Concerning the Coming Buddha-Avatar, Maitreya-Kalki. A third appendix discusses the significance of Rudolf Steiner's Foundation Stone of Love meditation as a heralding of Christ's Second Coming.

Rail yards serve as major nodes that facilitate delivery of cargo to the consignee. The level of operational efficiency maintained within rail yards determines whether customers receive cargo late. Various external and internal factors can impede the operational efficiency of rail yards. The future growth of rail industry depends on how well it manages a potentially serious problem inherent to all railroads--rail congestion. This study reviews the processes that occur within the Knoche rail yard, which is located in Kansas City, Kansas, and also examines several strategies to improve the operational efficiency of the yard's rip track facility. This study reveals that the operational efficiency of the Knoche rail yard may be enhanced if the following occur: (1) increase the rip track facility queue population from fifteen to twenty-two, and (2) spot bad order cars directly onto the two tracks leading into the rip track facility. Finally, the amount of double handling by switch engines daily may be decreased by as much as 96% within the rail yard.

Journal for Star Wisdom 2011 includes articles of interest concerning star wisdom (Astrosophy), as well as a guide to the correspondences between stellar configurations during the life of Christ and those of today. This guide comprises a complete sidereal ephemeris and aspectarian, geocentric and heliocentric, for each day throughout the year. Published yearly, new editions are available beginning in November for the coming new year.According to Rudolf Steiner, every step taken by Christ during his ministry between the baptism in the Jordan and the resurrection was in harmony with-and an expression of-the cosmos. The Journal for Star Wisdom is concerned with these heavenly correspondences during the life of Christ. It is intended to help provide a foundation for cosmic Christianity, the cosmic dimension of Christianity. It is this dimension that has been missing from Christianity in its two-thousand-year history.Readers can begin on this path by contemplating the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets against the background of the zodiacal constellations (sidereal signs) today in relation to corresponding stellar events during the life of Christ. In this way, the possibility is opened for attuning, in a living way, to the life of Christ in the etheric cosmos.Daniel AndreevThe 2011 Journal for Star Wisdom begins with a special extract from The Rose of the World by Daniel Andreev, as well as an extract from volume three of the original Rosa Mira: Rose of the World-"The Preparation of Human Beings for the Coming Antilogos"-translated and published for the first time in English. This article is of special interest to those who wish to understand better the impending incarnation of Ahriman, the Antichrist.The main focus of this year's journal is the significant year of 2012, with 2011 as a stepping stone to this pivotal year in the history of humanity and the Earth. Apart from articles by David Tresemer and Robert Powell more directly concerning 2012, William Bento's article offers important perspectives on the theme of prophecy-its meaning and significance for modern human beings. Kevin Dann's article highlights the Christ rhythm of 33 1/3 years in the biography of Henry David Thoreau and in the history of the United States. Brian Gray's article looks at the Moon Node rhythm of 18 years 7 months in Rudolf Steiner's life, especially in relation to Steiner's artistic activity, which, according to Brian's interpretation, is indicated in Steiner's horoscope of birth. David Tresemer's second article offers deep insights into the qualities of certain degrees of the zodiacal signs. The monthly commentaries by Claudia McLaren Lainson and David Tresemer are supported by monthly astronomical previews provided by Sally Nurney and offer profound insights into the meaning of stellar configurations during the year 2011.
