Christmas Gifts for Men : The Stig Autobiography Book

admin — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 20:51:59 +0000

The Man in the White Suit: The Stig, Le Mans, the Fast Lane and Me – The Stig gets his kit off and reveals how he came to be Top Gear’s iconic racing driver and so much more – including what it’s like to thrash an Aston Martin DBS, train for the Army and face the terror of Jeremy Clarkson’s underwear! When the Black Stig disappeared off the end of an aircraft carrier in 2003, we were introduced to The White Stig. Faster. Stranger. Harder to keep clean. And ever since, millions have wondered — who is The Man in the White Suit? They’re about to find out.

Ben Collins caught the car the bug young, kicking his dad’s boss in the balls for not giving him a company Jag. This was the attitude that eventually led him to spend seven years sharing a cabin with Jeremy Clarkson’s underwear, James May’s PhD thesis and Richard Hammond’s hairspray. Because he is The Stig.

Weight Loss Books : The Gabriel Method

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 20:02:40 +0000

The pile of recent dieting books is growing faster than the average American’s waistline. From the well-known programs that deprive and restrict to ones that rely on juice alone, it seems that everybody has an answer to the growing problem of obesity.

When Jon Gabriel’s life took an unexpected turn, he suddenly was awakened to the marvelous gift that he had been given — the opportunity to live — and was disgusted at how he had treated his body. At over four hundred pounds, walking, sleeping, and working was a struggle against gravity, and his life was a constant battle between emotional and physical satiation. He was slowly killing himself with food.

Like the estimated 58 percent of Americans, and rising numbers in other countries, Jon was trapped in what he came to call the FAT – Famine and Temperature – trap. By studying biochemistry, Gabriel learned that your body has an internal logic that determines how fat or thin you will be at any given time. The way to lose weight is not to struggle or to force yourself to lose weight but to understand this internal logic and work with it so that your body wants to be thinner. When your body wants to be thinner, weight loss is inevitable and becomes automatic and effortless. You simply crave less food, you crave healthier foods, your metabolism speeds up and you become very efficient at burning fat, just like a naturally thin person. And that’s the real transformation — to transform yourself into a naturally thin person, so that you can eat whatever you want whenever you want and still be thin, fit, and vibrantly healthy.

After reading The Gabriel Method, you will learn: Your body has a reason why it’s holding on to weight–and it’snot your fault.Fat is a cushion–a protective barrier that our mind believes is helping to protect us. If you can change that belief, you can change your body; Stop the cycle of crash dieting and start eating what you want, when you want it.How to choose healthy, nutritious foods that nourish the cells in your body, not starve them.Delicious shakes and smoothies, and super-power supplements, that can jump start your success.The simple way you can train your mind and body to work with your goal of health, not against it.Eliminate the emotional and mental reasons your body holds on to weight in just 10 minutes a day.

It certainly worked for Jon; he lost 225 pounds in two-and-a-half years, going from 409 pounds to 184, without suffering, dieting, or anguishing over his body. Unlike most people who lose an extensive amount of weight, his skin tightened up and now is indistinguishable from that of a person who has been healthy his whole life.

Dis Koue Kos Skat : Marita van der Vyver

admin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:37:15 +0000

Marita van der Vyver se jongste is die vertroude gehalte in ‘n splinternuwe gedaante – dis ‘n briefroman! Dis Koue Kos, Skat is die briewe en e-pos van ‘n vrou in haar liefde verlaat; dit is briewe wat gil van woede, pleit om begrip en skreeu om wraak. Die verhaal ontvou in korrespondensie wat oor ‘n dekade geskryf is – aan ‘n ontroue man en vriendinne. Clara Brand se man, Bernard, verlaat haar vir Anais, een van Clara se beste vriendinne. Die briewe wys die verskeie ‘stasies’ van Clara se herstelproses: woede, aanvaarding, nuwe vryheid, herstel van haar sekslewe, hernieude bande met haar eks-man, die deurlopende poging om haar kinders normaal groot te maak. Uiteindelik eindig Bernard se tweede huwelik ook op die rotse (nie deur Clara se toedoen nie), en wanneer hy weer tot haar toenadering soek, besef sy dat sy uiteindelik finaal van hom verlos is, en as gewone vriendin saam met hom sal kan aansit vir ‘n ete.

Dis Koue Kos, Skat is ‘n vreeslose ontboeseming; dit is slim, genuanseerd en gesofistikeerd. Dit is ‘n eerlike, lewensgetroue en verkwiklike uitbeelding van Graham Greense se uitspraak: ‘We do not have to win the battle of the sexes, we merely have to survive it.’

The short second life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer

admin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:27:52 +0000

The short second life of Bree Tanner from Stephenie Meyer is definitely one for the Twilight Saga fans who will be enthralled by the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.

‘I’m as surprised as anyone about this novella,’ said Stephenie Meyer. ‘When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.’

What the Dog Saw and other Adventures by Malcolm Gladwell

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:23:35 +0000

Malcolm Gladwell is the master of playful yet profound insight. His ability to see underneath the surface of the seemingly mundane taps into a fundamental human impulse: curiosity. From criminology to ketchup, job interviews to dog training, Malcolm Gladwell takes everyday subjects and shows us surprising new ways of looking at them, and the world around us.

Are smart people overrated? What can pit bulls teach us about crime? Why are problems like homelessness easier to solve than to manage? How do we hire when we can’t tell who’s right for the job? Gladwell explores the minor geniuses, the underdogs and the overlooked, and reveals how everyone and everything contains an intriguing story. “What the Dog Saw” is Gladwell at his very best – asking questions and seeking answers in his inimitable style.
