Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How I Met Your Mother has a misleading title. Sure, the premise focuses on a father telling his kids how he first met their mother, but it's really just about life - Ted finding his future mate is just a small part of that story. Season 3 of the hit CBS comedy series continues to revolve around Ted Mosby, struggling architect, and his four best friends. This time, however, the dynamic is a bit different than in the previous seasons. Marshall and Lily are married, and as of last season's finale, Ted and Robin are broken-up. Barney continues to be his hilarious womanizing self, but no one expects or desires that to change any time soon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Robin: “It was weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. W-I-E-R-D. Weird.” How I Met Your Mother has a misleading title. Sure, the premise focuses on a father telling his kids how he first met their mother, but it’s really just about life — Ted finding his future mate is just a small part of that story. Season 4 of the hit CBS comedy series continues to revolve around Ted and his four best friends Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney. While Ted struggles with the heartache of yet another failed relationship, Marshall and Lily work to make their marriage a continued success. Meanwhile, Barney attempts to balance his womanizing ways with his growing feelings for Robin. What makes How I Met Your Mother so successful is its ability to relate to its viewers, not just on the big lofty issues like love and loss, but on the silly, stupid, ridiculous experiences that color our lives. From Seinfeld to Friends, it seems like there will always be a home on our television screens for a bunch of friends experiencing life just like the rest of us. What sitcoms like these lack in big budgets, action sequences, and life-or-death heroics, they make up for in heart and relatability. Our friends at Maclaren’s Pub are growing up a bit more this season, but they’re still the characters we know and love from Season 1. We expect them to face challenges and experience life lessons because if they did not, the illusion that these are real people living real lives would become more difficult to accept. Fans of How I Met Your Mother wait in anticipation to find out who will be Ted’s future wife, what marriage will hold for Marshall and Lily, and how Barney will one-up his last hilarious stunt, but they mainly tune in each week to just catch-up with their friends. A show that delivers both laughs and moments of authentic poignancy from its likeable cast of characters? Really, what more can you ask for? EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK This episode marks the halfway point for Season 4, and yet Robin is still ignorant of Barney’s feelings for her. To be fair, Barney’s motivations have been split between winning Robin and scoring with any girl who walks into the bar, so perhaps Robin cannot be blamed for her ignorance. Episode 13: Three Days of Snow Ted and Barney are put in charge of MacLaren’s for a night, and they use the opportunity to accidentally invite the entire Arizona Tech Marching Band to party with them. The gang has been going to MacLaren’s for years, and Ted and Barney have always wanted to close the bar. Their dream finally comes true, but I doubt either of them ever expected a boisterous group of marching band members to feature that prominently in the experience. Lily and Marshall believe they have grown out of some of their earlier romantic traditions, but Marshall begins to fear that letting their traditions die will lead to their relationship dying. It is honestly refreshing to see such a honest portrayal of a long-term relationship on television. A lot of other shows out there that target the young adult demographic spend most of their time celebrating a lifestyle that allows for multiple romantic partner per season...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK When the second season of How I Met Your Mother premiered in September 2006, fans were waiting to find out what came next after a big cliffhanger at the end of the series' successful first season. The series was building momentum after introducing the world to a unique sitcom approach: Ted Mosby (voiced by Bob Saget) in the year 2030 narrates the series as he tells his kids about the events that led up to him meeting their mother; each event takes the form of an episode. A few critics have compared the show favorably to Friends and The Wonder Years, describing it as a modern take on a sitcom based on flashbacks and a group of friends living in New York. MEET THE AUTHOR Dan P. Taylor is a writer, editor and journalist with more than eight years of professional experience. He is currently managing editor of a weekly publication in the Washington, D.C.-area that covers the world of the Pentagon and Capitol Hill, and he also writes articles for various magazines.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Marshall and Lily's relationship and wedding: This is perhaps the fulcrum of the entire season, as it begins with Marshall heartbroken over Lily's departure to San Francisco and ends with their wedding. Much of the season revolves around this relationship, starting with some of the early episodes as Barney and Ted try to get his mind off Lily so that he can move on with his life. The drama continues when Lily returns, but Marshall isn't ready to just jump right back into the relationship. As a result, there's a back-and-forth that develops that is somewhat similar to the relationship between Ted and Robin. Eventually, however, the two settle down with each other. The remainder of the season revolves around the planning of their wedding. The relationship between Ted and Robin: Ted and Robin once again restart their relationship after things ended in Season 1. The two actually remain committed to each other until the very end of the second season, when they decide to go their own separate ways. Although they continue to have feelings for each other, it doesn't appear to be the right time in their lives for them to be together. Future Ted even goes as far as to say explicitly that Robin is not "The One."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Set in 1963, one of the most turbulent years of the 1960s, AMCs Mad Men Season 3 delves into controversial topics such as racism, homosexuality, drug use, infidelity, and the assassination of President Kennedy in a shocking, yet stylish manner. It ups the ante on the built-up tensions of the previous two seasons and explodes into bloodshedliteral and non-literalfor every character involved. In seasons one through three, the series centers around the fictitious Madison Avenue advertising firm Sterling Cooper (which was based off a real ad agency from the 1960s), but the third season finds the companys principals answering to higher powers. Viewers learn in the very first episode that Sterling Coopers been purchased by British advertising powerhouse Putnam, Powell, and Lowe. The Brits have put one of their own in the trenches in an effort to curtail Sterling Coopers infamous atmosphere of boozing, slacking off, and sleeping around.

Audarshia continues to write cocktail-, dining- and lifestyle-oriented stories for Dining Chicago, Michigan Avenue Magazine and Playboy (as well as appears regularly on WCIU-TV's "You & Me This Morning" and "The G Spot Radio Show"). EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK In the Mad Men Season 3 premiere opening scenes, viewers learn why Don Draper (Jon Hamm) was named Dick Whitman by his birth mother. Its an important, yet unsexy flashback for the shows resident hunk, as the audience discovers what made him desperate enough to steal a dead mans identity in the first place. Dons darkest secret played an important role in the first two seasons, and while he manages to keep it hidden from everyone (save his boss and a scheming co-worker), it blows up in his face by the end of the third season. But this is Don Draper were talking about: the Old Fashioned guzzling, womanizing, chain-smoking, strutting creative director of Madison Avenue advertising agency Sterling Cooper. To the outside world he appears fearless, from his smooth and effortless way of handling clients to his brazen affairs with beautiful womenincluding his daughters elementary school teacher. The viewers, of course, are truly the only ones who get him, and find themselves torn between cheering him on as he tries to save his company and booing him when he cheats once again.

Download or read book Quicklet on Dexter Season 1 TV Show written by David Michael Beaudrie and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Dexter broke new grounds for Showtime in multiple ways. It debuted strong with more than 600,000 viewers during the premiere and its finale set a Showtime record with an audience of over a million people. However, Dexter's success was not strictly a matter of numbers. Serial killers are traditionally villains in TV and film but author Jeff Lindsay created a serial killer who lived in more "shades of grey." His original novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" allowed the reader to sympathize with main character Dexter Morgan and the show maintained the book's darker tones. Dexter embraced the concept of the anti-hero and took it to further extremes than most shows are willing to. That is one advantage to the show airing on Showtime instead of a broadcast network because the show creators have more creative freedom without worrying about censors. Editors recut the show for airing on CBS after the ratings success on Showtime and due to programming holes left in the CBS schedule from the writer's strike in 2008. Dexter is currently entering its seventh season on Showtime. MEET THE AUTHOR Dave Beaudrie is a graduate and valedictorian of Michigan State University with a B.A. in Advertising. He also studied Theatre and has performed in multiple productions around the country. He is a professional screenwriter as well with several projects either produced or in pre-production. He is licensed as a security specialist in the state of California and worked in the field for several years. Beaudrie is an avid mixed martial arts fan and has written extensively on the subject. He writes comedy as well under a pen name and resides in Los Angeles. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The casting of Dexter was vital to the show’s success and producers found a star in Michael C. Hall. Fresh off his work in the HBO series "Six Feet Under" and an accomplished stage actor, Hall had proven himself worthy of emotionally demanding roles but the question remained as to whether he could anchor a series himself? The answer was a resounding "yes" as Hall's intense performance created a cultural icon the likes of which hadn't been seen on television before. Hall was charismatic and funny, even while playing a relatively emotionless character without a real sense of humor. The supporting cast was up to the task as well, with Jennifer Carpenter and Julie Benz standing out as the two women in Dexter's life. Carpenter brought a humor and neurosis to Dexter's foster-sister Debra that was an effective counter-balance to Dexter's stoicism. Benz's Rita was a good-hearted woman who desperately wanted to love Dexter but didn't know if she knew how. Dexter first used Rita as a smokescreen to appear "normal" to the outside world but eventually developed a genuine affection and sense of responsibility for both her and her kids, which he himself thought he was incapable of doing. The cast was rounded out by David Zayas as Angel, the closest thing Dexter has to a friend in his life, and Erik King as Sgt. Doakes, who suspects Dexter of illegal activity but can't prove anything. Lauren Velez played Dexter's flirtatious superior Lt. Maria LaGuerta, who had a bone to pick with Debra and who was often a better politician than a cop. Dexter's conscience is kept in check by the memory of his adopted father Harry, played warmly by James Remar. "Dexter" embraced the concept of the anti-hero and took it to further extremes than most shows are willing to. That is one advantage to the show airing on Showtime instead of a broadcast network because the show creators have more creative freedom without worrying about censors. Editors recut the show for airing on CBS after the ratings success on Showtime and due to programming holes left in the CBS schedule.

Download or read book A Little History of the World written by E. H. Gombrich and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.

Download or read book Down and Out in Paris and London written by George Orwell and published by A G Printing & Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-07 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were eccentric characters in the hotel. The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people—people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and given up trying to be normal or decent. Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work. Some of the lodgers in our hotel lived lives that were curious beyond words. There were the Rougiers, for instance, an old, ragged, dwarfish couple who plied an extraordinary trade. They used to sell postcards on the Boulevard St Michel. The curious thing was that the postcards were sold in sealed packets as pornographic ones, but were actually photographs of chateaux on the Loire; the buyers did not discover this till too late, and of course never complained. The Rougiers earned about a hundred francs a week, and by strict economy managed to be always half starved and half drunk. The filth of their room was such that one could smell it on the floor below. According to Madame F., neither of the Rougiers had taken off their clothes for four years.

Discover one man’s life-changing journey to resolve his crisis of faith in Italy by retracing the footsteps of Francis of Assisi, a saint whose simple way of loving Jesus changed the history of the world.

There, he was introduced to the revolutionary teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi and found an old, but new way of following Jesus that heals and inspires.

This book is perfect for believers who are: Weary of celebrity pastors and empty calorie teaching Disappointed by worship services where the emphasis is more on Lights, Camera, Action than on Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Tired of the deepest questions of life remaining unaddressed and unanswered Remain hopeful and seek to strengthen their faith Hidden in the past lies the future of the church. Explore the life of a saint who 800 years ago breathed new life into disillusioned Christians and a Church on the brink of collapse.
