North Aurora: 1834-1940 is a quintessential study of what happened when settlers arrived in the Midwest in the 1830s. The village's location on the Fox River provided plentiful trees and waterpower for sawmills. Soon other mills, smelting works, a packing plant, a door-sash-blind factory, and a creamery all came to town. The village's railroad enabled its Boswell Cheese Factory to ship cream cheese to England in 1877. By 1922, North Aurora had a huge entertainment complex, a popular racetrack, and a hotel. Today the village is growing rapidly but still maintains its rural atmosphere.

If you’re a fitness fanatic, and are truly interested in getting your current levels of strength and conditioning – as well as overall fitness to skyrocket to NEW levels altogether, you’re at the right place! This little manual has something for everyone as it were. If you’re just starting out, and are 300 lbs and looking to DROP weight quick, then this book is a great, great add on to the 0 Excuses Fitness System available through my website. If you’re a seasoned trainee, and are looking to blast past personal best’s in pull-ups - - or handstand pushups - - and assuming you’ve read the manuals I’ve put out on these, you’ll find something that’ll help you here as well! If you’re a grip monster - - or core training fanatic - - I’ll bet you anything you’ll find some new and interesting reads in this book. And so forth. This book truly has something for EVERYONE when it comes to fitness, my friend. My name is Rahul Mookerjee, and I’ve been in the fitness biz for years now. My first book “Fast and Furious Fitness” (currently out of print, but I’m going to bring it back very soon indeed as a “collector’s item both on my website and on Amazon etc) was published in 2011, and it became an instant hit thereafter. Folks were getting tired of spending big bucks at gyms, and getting nowhere. Folks were getting tired of all the hype promised by personal trainers and “booby builders” (most of whom were on the juice) in the gym - - and getting very little in the way of actual muscle or results for the hours they spent in the gym. Not to mention the nagging injuries just kept piling up. The “shoulders that hurt when you lift your arm up”. The nagging lower back pain. Elbow trouble … and of course, wrist and neck pain galore. None of this improved to any great degree with the traditional training methods folks were being raised on, and Fast and Furious Fitness was a breath of fresh air in that regard. And now, I'm bringing you all these years of training and "wisdom" in an easy to digest "collated" format that you'll love - and want to read over and over and OVER again for motivation, inspiration, and information galore! What you’ll learn from these tips -Finger tip pushups, and what you really need to know about them! -Why the way your muscles “look” aren’t the most important – or even a little bit important. -The skinny on grip strength and building rock solid, coruscating levels of “kung fu” like grip strength. My manuals on grip training do a great job here ... and these tips are but the icing on the cake - - but a much needing icing! -The truth about calluses that most people will NOT tell you. -The one exercise combo that will give you explosive gains all over your upper body. Once you go this route, you’ll never go back … trust me! -Achieving the magic 500 in terms of pushups - - and more. -Getting to 500 UPHILL steps a day, and much, much more. -Why being on the heavy side isn't necessarily a disadvantage - and could even be considered an ADVANTAGE! This tip alone is worth it's weight in SPADES, my friend. -Facts on the handstand you likely never thought of, much less considered. -Why you aren't losing weight - despite seemingly doing all the right things. This one tip alone will boggle your mind - dive in, and you'll see what I mean! -How to work the legs with ... get this ... PUSHUPS! -How simple MOVEMENT done correctly can shed more fat than ever before -Can you save your own life if you had to? This little gem of a tip will get even the most seasoned of gym gorillas THINKING ... that is for sho! -What is the ideal length of time to exercise (hint - it's NOT what you've been told). And much, much more, my friend ... Dive in -- and be sure and write me back at [email protected] with your thoughts - we love hearing from YOU! Best, Rahul Mookerjee

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, who married in 2022, live a block away from each other. David and Victoria Beckham’s house has been designed with “his and hers” wings. Emma Watson strongly believes that nontraditional couples that don’t fit the cookie cutter mold communicate better. Is the secret to stronger long-term relationships spending a healthy amount of time together and apart? Live apart together relationships have increasingly been making headlines in recent years, not only in the United States, but internationally. While it’s hard to get a handle on just how many couples live apart from their romantic partners, it’s estimated that 10 percent of adults around the globe are in LATs. And each time the lifestyle appears in the media, more people are interested in knowing not just why, but how? Fret not! After years of conducting extensive research and interviews, longtime award-winning journalist and author Vicki Larson has some answers. LATitude: How You Can Make a Live Apart Together Relationship Work is the definitive guide to creating a successful live apart together relationship. From the day-to-day practicalities as well as dealing with stigma and judgment, to sex and legal concerns, Larson tackles various topics, while simultaneously busting the many myths about it. Taking into account different goals and values, she also introduces ideas of new family form into the collective societal consciousness, not as a threat to traditional partnering, but as a valuable addition.

Back in the early 1990’s the 700 pound bench press wars were in their infancy and it was no surprise when I received a long distance phone call from Publisher and Executive Editor of MuscleMag International, Robert Kennedy to tell me about another new member of the elite 700 pound bench press club . His call was to inform me that a Super Heavyweight powerlifter named Ken Lain had broken Ted Arcidi’s 705.5 pound world record bench press, with a dynamic and successful attempt of 708.3 pounds and only on his second attempt, at The Deadliest Deadlift In the World meet in Longview, Texas on October 7, 1989. This e-book contains the contents of my 1990 interview for MuscleMag with Ken Lain regarding his training principles. Who is "The Yukon Hercules" You Ask? Dennis B. Weis is a Ketchikan, Alaska-based power/bodybuilder. He is a hard-hitting, uncompromising freelance professional writer and investigative research consultant in the fields of bodybuilding, nutrition, physiology, and powerlifting. Dennis was first published over two decades ago (1976) in the pages of Iron Man magazine. Since that time he has become known to almost every mainstream bodybuilding/physique magazine's readership throughout the United States and Europe. The magazines that publish his articles include and are not limited to Bodybuilding Monthly (U.K. publication), Exercise For Men Only, Hardgainer (Nicosia, Cyprus, publication), Iron Man, Muscle & Fitness, Muscle Mag International and Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness.
