  60 Seconds that Shaped the Blues
  Reflecting on the Blues' rich history, this official publication focuses on 60 key moments that have helped shape the wonderful club that is Chelsea FC.
  A collection of memorable games, goals, players and managers, 60 Seconds that Shaped the Blues charts the ups and downs of the club, and will, hopefully, bring some fond memories and emotions flooding back.
  
  Written by G2 founder and owner Jules Gammond, this new official Chelsea FC hardback 60 Seconds That Shaped The Blues is available as an eBook from November priced at £4.99.
  The fully illustrated publication highlights 60 key moments that have shaped the history of the club from the day that it was founded in the Rising Sun Public House in 1905 to the victory over Manchester City in this year's Champions League Final.
  Many of the magical moments are from the last couple of decades under the ownership of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich during which time the Blues have won two Champions Leagues, five Premierships, five FA Cups, three League Cups and two Europa Leagues.
  Not that they were entirely unsuccessful before, as the Stamford Bridge trophy cabinet already included a first league title, three more FA Cups and two Cup Winners' Cups.
  Chelsea FC Women have been no less prolific, winning five league titles, two FA Cups and two League Cups. But this book is not exclusively about triumphs, it recalls those important milestones in Chelsea Football Club's life story, the year it was founded, the chairmen and managers who made an indelible mark over the years, the record scores and classic games, the goal scorers and legends, that have each contributed to the rich tapestry that is Chelsea FC.
  Comments Gammond: " Having been a supporter for more than 50 years, I have been privileged to have witnessed many of the highs and lows first hand, including that soggy night in Moscow when, but for a slip by captain John Terry in the penalty shoot-out, we would have won three Champions League trophies by now. And while our fans sing about being 'carefree' it is because we care so deeply that this collection of magical moments will bring a tear to the eye and lump to the throat of all true Blues 'wherever you may be'."

  No Shortage of Good Days

  In No Shortage of Good Days John Gierach takes listeners from the Smokies in Tennessee to his home waters in Colorado, from the Canadian Maritimes to Mexico-saltwater or fresh, it's all fishing and all irresistible. As always he writes perceptively about a wide range of subjects: the charm of familiar waters, the etiquette of working with new fishing guides, night fishing when the trout and the mosquitoes are both biting, and fishing snobbery, a pitfall he seems to have largely avoided: "A friend and I recently realized that making fly-fishing a way of life instead of a hobby has made us a couple of pretty one-dimensional characters. On the other hand, we agreed we're two of the happiest people we know, albeit in a simple-minded sort of way."Gierach again demonstrates the wit, eloquence, and insight that have become his trademarks. No Shortage of Good Days is the next best thing to a day of fishing.

  Turn your Lousy Short Game Into Your Game Winning Moment 
   
  Let's be honest...being "just good enough" is good enough for your average golfer. They break par here and there on a weekend trip to the course, but they never truly get good at the game.  
   
  And by good, I mean breaking par each and every time. I mean sinking those "impossible" shots where your buddies' jaws drop. I mean never having to buy the post-game rounds of beer again. 
   
  That was my problem 20 years ago. I hated having an unpredictable scorecard, I hated being laughed at, and most of all, I hated losing. 
   
  That's when I got serious about the game. I studied every trick, tip, and tactic under the sun, and I can tell you, if there's one thing I learned at the end of it all, it's that the key to winning is all in the short game. 
   
  After all that studying, I finally realized (in the most obvious way) that if I couldn't sink my wedge shots, my game was over before it even began. 
   
  So over time, as I started applying these newfound short game tactics, my score got lower and lower. I got better and better. And most importantly, I started winning. 
   
  Fortunately for you, you don't have to read the two dozen books that I did to master the game. I took all of the best tactics & winning techniques to get your short game up and running, and jam-packed them all into one easy-to-read guidebook to take you from loser beginner to a rockstar on the course.

  Pope Pius the Tenth

  Pope Saint Pius X (2 June 1835 – 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was Pope from 4 August 1903 to his death in 1914. He was the first pope since Pius V (1566 to 1572) to be canonized. St. Pius X is known for vigorously opposing modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine, promoting traditional devotional practices and orthodox theology. His most important reform was to publish the first Code of Canon Law, which collected the laws of the Church into one volume for the first time. He was also considered a pastoral pope, in the sense of encouraging personal holiness, piety and a daily lifestyle reflecting deep Christian values.  (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)
