One minute more / by Rotenberg, Robert,1953-author.;
"For fans of Lee Child and Brad Thor, an unstoppable thriller set in 1988 when--a mere 100 hours before world leaders gather for the G7 summit--police get a hot tip that an assassin is on the way. It's a long-shot mission. No one thinks much of the information the Toronto chief of police receives from a mysterious source: a would-be assassin is about to cross the border into Canada to kill the heads of the seven most powerful countries in the world. Undeterred, he sends young police officer Ari Greene to a sleepy Quebec-Vermont border town to investigate. During a festive and colourful July 4th parade, Greene spots his unlikely target and gives chase across borders and boundaries. But as the hours and the minutes until the summit tick down, bodies start to pile up ... And no one, not even international heads of state, are safe. This prequel to Robert Rotenberg's bestselling series, including What We Buried and Downfall, is an excellent introduction to one of Toronto's favourite detectives, Ari Greene, on his first-ever case. An enthralling action thriller in the tradition of Frederick Forsyth's The Day of the Jackal and Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne series, One Minute More is sure to delight readers of Rotenberg's previous books and attract a whole new audience."--

Gandolfini : Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend / by Bailey, Jason,1975-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A deeply reported, perceptive, and celebratory biography of beloved actor James Gandolfini from a prominent critic and film historian Based on extensive research and original reporting, including interviews with friends and collaborators, Gandolfini is a detailed and nuanced appraisal of an enduring artist. More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family. In Gandolfini, critic and historian Jason Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played. Gandolfini's roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn't until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen. Bailey traces his rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience"--

Tower. by Maitland, Keith,film director.; Jackson, Blair,actor.; Arnette, Louie,actor.; Beane, Violette,actor.; Kino Lorber (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Blair Jackson, Louie Arnette, Violette BeaneOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 2016.August 1st 1966 was the day our innocence was shattered. A sniper rode the elevator to the top floor of the iconic University of Texas Tower and opened fire, holding the campus hostage for 96 minutes in what was a previously unimaginable event. TOWER combines archival footage with rotoscopic animation of the dramatic day, based entirely on first person testimonies from witnesses, heroes and survivors, in a seamless and suspenseful retelling of the unfolding tragedy. The film highlights the fear, confusion, and visceral realities that changed the lives of those present, and the rest of us, forever - a day when the worst in one man brought out the best in so many others.Winner, Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the SXSW Film FestivalNew York Times Critics' Pick - "Ingenious. The animation gives Mr. Maitland a lot of creative freedom, allowing him to take Expressionistic leaps." -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times"Boldly imaginative …'TOWER' plays like a historical Hitchcock film about ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. [A] true-crime thriller that’s enriched by a rare depth of inner experience. The effect is as much intellectual as emotional." -Richard Brody, The New YorkerMode of access: World Wide Web.

Since the Shred programs include meals and meal replacements (smoothies or soups), there are over 200 recipes in The shred diet cookbook, and lists of great snack ideas (smashed goat cheese and dates on crackers, avocado and mayo on pumpernickel, chicken and shredded carrot with yogurt dressing). The shred diet cookbook is a complete answer to the question Dr. Ian is asked most often: "Can I eat that on Shred?" Dr. Ian knows his audience: what they want to know and how much they are willing to work in the kitchen. He's including nutritionally dense food to match up with the core tenets of meal spacing, meal replacement and snacking that have made the Shred diets work so well for so many.
