A Commentary on the Complete Greek Tragedies $22.5 This commentary offers a rich introduction and useful guide to the seven surviving plays attributed to Aeschylus. Though it may profitably be used with any translation of Aeschylus, the commentary is based on the acclaimed Chicago translations, The Complete Greek Tragedies, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore. James C. Hogan provides a general introduction to Aeschylean theater and drama, followed by a line-by-line commentary on each of the seven plays. He places Aeschylus in the historical, cultural, and religious context of fifth-century Athens, showing how the action and metaphor of Aeschylean theater can be illuminated by information on Athenian law athletic contests, relations with neighboring states, beliefs about the underworld, and countless other details of Hellenic life. Hogan clarifies terms that might puzzle modern readers, such as place names and mythological references, and gives special attention to textual and linguistic issues: controversial questions of interpretation; difficult or significant Greek words; use of style, rhetoric, and commonplaces in Greek poetry; and Aeschylus’s place in the poetic tradition of Homer, Hesiod, and the elegiac poets. Practical information on staging and production is also included, as are maps and illustrations, a bibliography, indexes, and extensive cross-references between the seven plays. Forthcoming volumes will cover the works of Sophocles and Euripides. |

Bearing the Mystery: Twenty Years of IMAGE $30 Since its founding in 1989, Image journal has not only emerged as one of North America’s leading quarterlies but also carved out a unique identity as the source for contemporary art and literature that grapple with the perennial questions of religious faith. Bearing the Mystery brings together in one handsome volume the best of Image journal’s first twenty years — the work of nearly seventy writers and over twenty visual artists (some represented on sixteen color plates).Here you will find short stories that range from unnerving encounters with the miraculous to gritty realism; lyric poems that reinterpret the Psalms and plumb the depths of doubt and faith; searingly honest memoirs that search out glimpses of grace among the difficulties and joys of everyday life.Among the all-star cast of writers whose work appears here: Scott Cairns, Annie Dillard, Clyde Edgerton, Patricia Hampl, Ron Hansen, Edward Hirsch, Linda Hogan, Denise Levertov, Philip Levine, Marilyn Nelson, Kathleen Norris, Gregory Orr, Ann Patchett, David Plante, Richard Rodrieguez, Wim Wenders, Christian Wiman, and Franz Wright.With a special introduction by founder and editor Gregory Wolfe that reflects on the journal’s mission, Bearing the Mystery is indeed a treasure trove. Provocative, haunting, and bracing, the work gathered here demonstrates that — even in a postmodern era — the ancient practice of making art to record humanity’s encounter with the divine is alive and well. |

Classic Golf Instruction $2.94 An inspirational guide to getting the best effects from using color in interior decoration. Advice for all golfers in a style and manner that relies on time-tested teaching principles and knowledge. For improving the all-around game of every level of golfer—in which excellent shotmaking technique takes precedence over big swings and the latest equipment fads—there is no better teacher than Ravielli, who worked closely with such pros as Tom Watson, Bobby Jones, Sam Sneed, and Ben Hogan to offer the most lucid principles and easily explained demonstrations. In this intriguing book, Christopher Obetz has drawn the best illustrations from the complete archive of Ravielli’s work to best illustrate grips, swings, stances, special and trouble shots, and intentional slices and hooks that can be used for a lifetime of successful golf. Beautiful to observe, anatomically perfect, enduring in style and approach, Ravielli’s drawings will reward every golfer with perhaps the clearest and most matter-of-fact understanding of the principles of the golfing body at work. Amplifying the lessons in each case are comments by some of today’s leading professional players and teachers. A refreshingly welcome contribution to today’s golf instruction library and a magnificent contribution to golf history, this book is destined to become a classic. |

Connecting with the Congregation $18 For most people, rhetoric is a dubious term at best. Whenever they see the word, they expect it to be preceded by something like “empty” or “mere.” In other words, in the common understanding rhetoric is what happens when people want their hearers to believe them and they don’t care whether what they say is right or wrong, true or false. The ancient practice of rhetoric, however, wasn’t about slick speech designed to convince or persuade; it was about connecting with one’s hearers. It was the recognition that, not only what one says, but also who one is, where one is speaking, and those to whom one speaks, are crucial ingredients of getting the message across. If a speaker does not understand these factors, then the power and effectiveness of what he or she says is diminished. Like everyone else, preachers use rhetoric, whether they realize it or not. All preachers pick up signals about the special nature of the message they are conveying, the circumstances in which they are conveying it, and the listeners to whom it is conveyed. The problem is that they are too often unaware of how they understand and use this information—and hence they use it to poor effect. This volume uses the time-established principles of rhetoric—a field of study which has enjoyed a revival in recent years—to help preachers better connect with the congregation. Here they will discover how to understand their own particular authority, the changing and specific character of the congregation each time it meets to worship, and how the Christian message lends itself to different kinds of speech in different situations. What one learns by using rhetoric to understand preaching, the authors contend, is nothing less than how to be a more effective—and faithful—servant of the Word. Key Features: • Outlines and explains the time-established principles of rhetoric • Written with a particular focus on |

Final Rounds $16 James Dodson always felt closest to his father while they were on the links. So it seemed only appropriate when his father learned he had two months to live that they would set off on the golf journey of their dreams to play the most famous courses in the world. Final Rounds takes us to the historic courses of Royal Lytham and Royal Birkdale, to the windswept undulations of Carnoustie, where Hogan played peerlessly in ’53, and the legendary St. Andrews, whose hallowed course reveals something of the eternal secret of the game’s mysterious allure over pros and hackers alike. Throughout their poignant journey, the Dodsons humorously reminisce and reaffirm their love for each other, as the younger Dodson finds out what it means to have his father also be his best friend. Final Rounds is a book never to be forgotten, a book about fathers and sons, long-held secrets, and the lessons a middle-aged man can still learn from his dad about life, love, and family. Final Rounds is a tribute to a very special game and the fathers and sons who make it so. –> |

Hogan Special

Is “Hulk-Hogan” Ruining Your Health Club?
Imagine you’re a regular person walking into what you thought was a very high quality health club for the first time.You got a few different recommendations from friends saying it was a great place to go so you thought “hey, I might as well try it out and see if it’s good for me right?”
As you’re approaching the doors you hear a loud slamming, and maybe even your feet vibrate a little. As you walk through the door, you look to your left and there’s a Hulk-Hogan looking guy screaming at the top of his lungs and slamming the weights off the floor.How do you think you would feel if you were that person walking through the doors? Assuming you weren’t the same kind of person, don’t you think that would turn you off?
There’s nothing wrong with grunting a little while lifting, and dropping the weights a little. However, when people are in your health club and grunting/dropping weights so loud that it’s disturbing everybody in a 100 foot area, the situation needs to be taken care of.
So how do you deal with a hulk-hogan kind of guy who thinks he’s special because he’s the biggest person in the room and is there the longest?
Well first you need to realize that if he stays, he’s probably costing you a lot of money. Not only is he driving your current clients away and making them go to another place to workout, but when they tell their friends it make the problem even worse.
Plus, some people literally won’t go to a gym or health club simply because they’re intimidated by 1 single person and don’t want to go back just in case they’re in the gym when they are!
So with that in mind, you need to take him or her aside and simply explain the situation. Let them know that the way they’re acting is unacceptable and even though you don’t personally mind it, it might be causing a problem with your other members.
Let them know that they’re absolutely welcome to continue being a member at your health club, however, if you see them continuing to do the same thing, you’ll have to ask them to leave.
That’s really about all it takes. They probably won’t be happy with you and will probably put up a fight with you, but stand your ground and keep to your word. Understand that nobody likes to be told what to do, especially people who might be taking steroids and normally have a bit more rage than the average person.
One thing you might consider doing is finding a place in your area that doesn’t mind behavior like that. In some areas, there are gyms specially built for “hardcore” bodybuilders, so you might consider calling that owner and asking them if they’d mind if you referred your member to them.
Trust me, they’ll love you for it!
This might be a challenging situation for you, but you need to convince yourself that they’re costing you money. Look at them and see money getting flushed down the toilet if you have to! Sometimes challenging situations come up and you have to deal with them. Just understand that how you deal with situations like these will many times determine your overall success in the lo
