Download or read book Imagine That written by Ross R. Olney and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is coming when we will all have the "power" to order cancer, or any other life threatening disease, to just "go away," and it will go away. In this book, "Ortho" discusses it, and remarks about how backward we, here today, are. We can't even order cancer away. But then his buddy, "Dontist" points out that cavemen were even worse off, and had to worry about becoming lunch for some creature outside the cave. The Music Man, with one of the most famous, and endearing, scams might turn out to be prophetic according to many experts. "Professor" Harold Hill thought he was using a great con, but in the mind of brilliant writer/composer Meredith Willson, he was just doing what in our own near future, would work just fine. Hill's "think system" is now accepted by many experts, and you can use this to better your own life. You can be a winner, all you must do is believe you are going to win. That may not be easy, but once you learn, you can win every time.
Download or read book This is INDY written by Ross R. Olney_ and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Indy 500" is the most exciting auto race, on the most famous track, before the largest in-attendance audience for any sporting event ever in history. Every driver wants to win this event, assuring him or her fame forever and probably a huge amount of money as well. Drivers at Indy seem willing to take that "extra chance" to win, such as Rick Mears did in his chapter in this book by going high into even more danger instead of the low, less risky line on the track. The author has driven on the track at the Speedway in a race car, and has covered the race more than forty times as a reporter. The 500 is, he admits, one of his favorite topics about which to write in his over 200 book career, and he has written several books on this subject. He always looks forward to it every year on Memorial Day, either at the track or on television. He advises that everyone should see this great race in person at least one time, but that it is possible you can see more of the event on television.

Book excerpt: They say a leopard can't change its spots. They're wrong, because I did! Now I'm successful and independent and busy heading up my own company. I don't have time for the complication of a man in my bed-not yet. That plan is years down the line. Or so I thought. Because when a certain devastatingly sexy hockey captain sets his sights on me, my old impulsive self is determined to make up for two years of abstinence. I had to get sweaty, naked and dirty real quick. Heck to the consequences, regardless of the outcome. It's all about immediate pleasure and intense satisfaction. Trouble is, best laid plans never run smoothly and before I know it, I'm working a pole again and running for my life. Just as well Rick "Ramrod" Lewis lives up to his reputation and his name-big, bad and fortunately playing to win!

Download or read book Slap Shot Original written by Dave Hanson and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 30 years after its cinematic debut, Slap Shot remains one of the most popular sports movies of all time, and this book is actor Dave Hanson’s firsthand account of its making. Starring the legendary Paul Newman, the movie was based on the hilarious and outrageous antics of the fictitious Charlestown Chiefs, a tough-as-nails minor league hockey team in the early 1970s. In financial trouble and due to fold at the end of the season, they bring in the Hanson Brothers—three of the toughest hockey players around—in a desperate bid to sell tickets. What ensues is pure comic genius. Here, Dave Hanson—who played ringleader Jack Hanson in the film—not only opens the vault and dishes the dirt on the making of the movie, from the bench-clearing brawls and the practical jokes on set to the legendary partying that went on during filming, but also explores how the movie changed his and many of the cast and crew’s lives forever.

Book excerpt: I’m banished to Vermont for a scandal that wasn’t my fault, and broke because my famous father cut me off. And did I mention my roommate stole my boyfriend? Yeah, I’m loving my Moo U experience. Now I need a job, because this gel manicure won’t upkeep itself. The only available option is the last one I’d ever want--a job as the hockey team’s equipment manager. My plan is to do the bare minimum, get paid, and find my way back into my father’s good graces. I will not get involved with a hockey player, no matter how hot. They’re cocky. And obnoxious. I know their type, and I’m not willing to risk getting hurt again. Until Lex Vonne glides into my life looking like sin on a stick. He thinks I’m a spoiled brat. I think he’s using me to get ahead. But the fire I feel when we’re together is like a slapshot to my heart…

Book excerpt: Documenting his notorious career with the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks, Bob Probert details in this autobiography how he racked up points, penalty minutes, and bar bills, establishing himself as one of the most feared enforcers in the history of the NHL. As Probert played as hard off the ice as on, he went through rehab 10 times, was suspended twice, was jailed for carrying cocaine across the border, and survived a near fatal motorcycle crash all during his professional career, and he wanted to tell his story in his own words to set the record straight. When he died unexpectedly of a heart attack at the age of 45 on July 5, 2010, he was hard at work on his memoir—a gripping journey through the life of Bob Probert, with jaw-dropping stories of his on-ice battles and his reckless encounters with drugs, alcohol, police, customs officials, courts, and the NHL, told in his own voice and with his rich sense of humor.
