Book excerpt: How sick is this: I'm the major jock-stud in high school, but my brother has the brain of a badminton birdie and a body to match. I've got everything and he's got nothing. I'm a three-year, three-sport letterman and Shawn can't even stand up! Like I said, sick, huh? It's hard to be a brother to someone who doesn't even know you're there. How can you talk to him when he can't understand a thing you say? How can you listen to him when he can't speak a word? How can you love him when he's so messed up, he can't love you back? And how can you have a life of your own when your father bailed on the family, leaving you to be the "man of the house"? Fueled by rage at what has happened to his family, Paul is ready to explode. And he is haunted by something even worse—something he can never tell anyone. It is something he will have to face if he is to have any hope of a future at all. While Cruise Control is a companion to Terry Trueman's Printz Honor book, Stuck in Neutral, it is the completely independent story of a family's "other" son—the one who is healthy, gifted, normal. It is a courageously hopeful story told with power, compassion, and humor.

Book excerpt: "Activate your weight-loss autopilot--use the power of simple on/off fasting to lose the pounds and keep them off, from Hollywood trainer and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jorge Cruise. Timing is everything. Or, as #1 New York Times bestselling author and celebrity trainer Jorge Cruise explains: When we eat is as important as what we eat. Building on the scientifically proven but hard-to-sustain day-on, day-off technique known as "intermittent fasting," Cruise simplifies your calendar by dividing every day into two easy-to-remember nutritional zones: a 16-hour evening and overnight "burn zone" (semi-fasting) followed by an 8-hour "boost zone" (eating). To help you crush cravings throughout, he ingeniously introduces foods that can be consumed in either zone to keep you burning fat all around the clock. You'll never be hungry if you don't really ever have to fully fast! Putting the body on weight-loss autopilot, The Cruise Control Diet includes: - 50 recipes for deliciously unexpected boost-zone foods, such as Margherita pizza, spaghetti squash lasagna, and turmeric shrimp; - 15 high-fat, no-sugar burn-zone recipes for craving-quenching foods like chocolate coconut mousse and caramel chai latte; - Weekly menus and handy grocery lists to take guessing out of the equation; - Candid testimonials and amazing weight loss results from Cruise's clients; - An optional burn-zone exercise program with instructional photos"--

Download or read book Driverthink written by Frank Miller and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driverthink is not just another "Go Slow" Safe Driving guidebook. Within its pages are reality based driving tips, ideas and suggestions that can literally save your life For too long, the focus on safe driving has been to expound "Politically Correct" driving concepts that simply don't take into account the Reality of driving a vehicle at high speed on modern roads and highways. Otherwise responsible people don't suddenly shed their responsibility when they slip behind the wheel. But they don't often really think about their driving either. Thus the title "Driverthink." In order to be responsible, safe drivers, we need to think about our driving. We need to know our machines, know our limitations, maximize our driving skills and gain driving experience as quickly as possible. Driverthink breaks new ground by exploring each of these areas in lively, entertaining detail. Drive Fast or Drive Slow - but "Driverthink" when you drive Driverthink is a collection of articles from the popular blog of the same name. Written in a lively and entertaining style, each of the articles explore specific driving situations or issues in detail, offering driving tips, ideas and suggestions on how to deal with the different situations. Driverthink is an excellent review for the seasoned driver and a must read for the newer, less experienced driver. Driverthink would suggest that Speed may kill, but unskilled driving can definitely kill. Does the average driver even know what over steer or under steer are? Do they know what kind of rear suspension they're driving on? Do they really understand how these most basic driving concepts will affect the handling of their vehicles - especially in an emergency situation? Driving on our roads and highways must be about reality. It is dealing with that reality that will keep us alive. Following "standard issue," politically correct advice offered by those with limited skills and no appreciation for the realities of driving, simply doesn't create safer driving. "Just Slow Down," might not be the best advice on a highway where even the slow lanes are doing limit plus ten. High speed rear end accidents can really ruin the day and excessively slow driving will most surely restrict traffic flow. Perhaps it's not the best advice after all Driverthink is a most serious effort by the author, to start really saving lives on our Highways and Byways. It will help you to become a much safer "Driverthink" driver It may even save your life.

Download or read book I m With Fatty written by Edward Ugel and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One man's humorous and heartfelt journey through his year-long attempt to regain his health and change his life. Where does one draw the line between being a lifelong foodie and a food addict? Edward Ugel is 36 years old and weighs 263 pounds, or as he likes to think about it: 119 kilograms. I'm with Fatty chronicles Ugel's attempt to follow doctor's orders and lose fifty pounds or risk dropping dead while standing in line at Popeyes. It details the complex love triangle between himself, his wife, and all the crispy, braised, barbecued, and sauté goodies that he's been feeding himself ever since he could say the words "to go." Ugel sets off on his yearlong journey to figure out how to live in a world without dim sum, smoked Italian meats, and the pleasure of cooking whatever and however he wants. He spends his days torn between two worlds: nutritionists and personal trainers versus pancetta and Hÿen-Dazs. It's a war of attrition-each side has its share of victories and utter failures. Lovers of narrative nonfiction will relish this contagiously readable book that looks back at Ugel's complicated history with food, obesity, and the ruinous effects this lifelong relationship has had on him. Filled with humor, ultimately this is a book about the private hell of being fat in America and about the fragile male psyche and the seldom-discussed issue of male body image. I'm with Fatty is a funny, candid, raw, and personal story of weight loss from the male perspective. It is a narcissistic battle of wills between the author who loves food more than oxygen and the man who knows that his very life depends on the success of his "Fatty Project." I'm with Fatty takes the reader along on a difficult, frustrating, embarrassing, and inspiring journey, one that is the last great hope of a man desperate to save his own life-or at least own a pair of pants that fits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disgusted with politics, disenchanted with formalities, and dismissed by the opposite sex, Con Allsop is not your average detective. The witty, cynical forty-something (who writes children’s books on the side) takes the reader through his daily rants and routines as a self-employed professional “finder,” inviting them along on his constant quest for adventure and his failed attempts at luck in love. Self-deprecating and a bit crude, yet surprisingly charming and tenderhearted, the former Army officer’s name is dropped by an old friend who works at the Governor’s Office. The governor of Florida has a mission for him—one that is sure to interrupt his now quiet life. Con takes the job, knowing that it could run him deep—he hopes not six feet. His assignment is to dig up dirt on a flip-flopping senator who has been running out-of-character ads advocating for environmental preservation of the sugar-industry-occupied Everglades. The senator’s political enemies know that the big-business supporter could care less about the environment, and now it’s Con’s job to find out who’s backing the ads, and why. Con and his unlikely partners try to track down answers without getting tangled in a web of corrupt politicians and their thugs. Things get personal when two women in Con’s life become caught in the crosshairs of deadly threats from people who don’t want to be “found.” With their lives on the line, he has to ask himself how far he’s willing to go to bring it all to an end. Rich in detail and warm with Southern charm, And Now I’m Found delivers suspense, unexpected comic relief, and vivid, unforgettable characters. Christensen weaves riveting dialogue and witty social critique with surprising twists, providing an intimate look at political corruption at the state level.
