Download or read book The Lord of the Ring Dings written by Stuart Anderson and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bobbits were generally not large but Filbo Daggins was larger and stranger than most and people in the Shire often said so. “I say, that Filbo is large,” said one. “Yes, that Filbo is larger and stranger than most,” said another. That evening Filbo would be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday. On their birthday, it was customary among the Bobbits to give gifts to other people. There was much grumbling in the Shire that Filbo usually gave presents such as gift certificates to stores nobody could find. . . . In The Lord of the Ring Dings, Sam and Dodo must overcome the evil Lord Sorehead, the nasty Sorry-Man, and a host of product placements to reach Door-Door and destroy the Ring Ding of Power. It's like The Lord of the Rings movies except the budget is much lower. Oregon courts Liv Tyler and Gimpley the dwarf woos the ladies of Middling-earth (both of them). The Elvis lend a hand, providing the travelers with the traditional Elvis food of meatloaf and fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Gandolf is around as well, but his spells generally don't work well and he forgets things a lot. And, of course, there's Jollum, the weird creature who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the precious Ring Ding. ADVANCE PRAISE for The Lord of the Ring Dings: “This book really nails it. It tells what really happened.” – Aragorn, King of Gondor “I thought my part could have been bigger.” – Arwen, Queen of Gondor “Although I am a wizard I never would have predicted such a fine book. Wait, that sounds cheesy. No, don't write that down.” – Gandalf, a wizard “I thought the portrayal of my great, great grand uncle was unfair. For example, he didn't like fish that much.” – Johann Sméagol III, Gollum's great, great grand nephew “I really wish there were more women in the story, or anywhere.” – Gimli, son of Glóin “I think I was much cooler in the movie, but in the book I was still pretty cool.” – Legolas “We no portrayed fair. Me no like.” – Gorkran, an Orc

Book excerpt: Don’t eat this groundbreaking, hilarious book—but if you care about your country’s health, your children’s, and your own, you better read it. For thirty days, Morgan Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald’s as part of an investigation into the effects of fast food on American health. The resulting documentary earned him an Academy Award nomination and broke box-office records worldwide. But there’s more to the story, and in Don’t Eat This Book, Spurlock examines everything from school lunch programs and the marketing of fast food to the decline of physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive—and interviews experts from surgeons general and kids to marketing gurus and lawmakers, who share their research and opinions on what we can do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions.

Returning to his homeland for the first time in many years, he hopes only to settle down on a farm of his own—until he comes across an impenetrable wall of eldritch fire and a lovesick youth determined to breach the wall at any cost. Behind the towering flames, he is told, lies a beautiful Valkyrie trapped in an enchanted sleep, as well as, perhaps, a golden treasure beyond mortal reckoning. It is the gold that tempts Hal to agree, against his better judgment, to assist the youth in his quest. But to find a way past the fiery wall, they must first brave gnomes, ghosts, and the wrath of the gods themselves. For a mighty battle is brewing, and Hal soon finds himself caught up in a celestial conflict between Thor the Thunderer, Loki the Trickster, and most powerful of all, Wodan, the merciless Lord of Battles!

Download or read book The Sports Industry s War on Athletes written by Peter Finley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-07-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America, sports are a popular passion, and an astoundingly lucrative business as well. Americans pay out millions of dollars annually for channels and stadiums to bring them closer to their favorite players, and every year, young athletes go to greater lengths to reach those exalted fields of play themselves. Unfortunately, in the quest to offer an ever more compelling product, the sports industry is blind to the manner in which that product is created. Doping, playing through injury, and eating disorders are widespread problems in both professional and college athletics, and speak volumes about the lengths to which people will go in order to make themselves successful. Dirty play, hazing, and cheating are common even at the lowest levels. Most troubling of all, however, are the societal problems created by the sports industry, which include racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia. Peter and Laura Finley's comprehensive work confronts the many problems facing athletics today. Using numerous examples (both historical and current), they begin with the issue as they exist at the highest levels and as they are represented in the media. They then go on to look at how the values and models expressed by professionals are adopted and utilized by coaches, parents, and eventually by amateur athletes of all ages. Finally, the Finleys provide recommendations for improving the sports environment in America, suggesting ways we can work to counteract some of these many harmful influences to ensure that sports realize their potential as a positive and rewarding activity.
