Hummer: How the Little Truck Company Hit the Big Time, Thanks

Hummer — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:50:03 +0000

Interestingly, because of the advent of 24-hour news at this same point in time, the Gulf War served as priceless free advertising for AM General's war machine. After seeing the Hummer in action, movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly helped to convince AM General to prep the Hummer for civilian sales and was one of the first to own one.The attention garnered by Schwarzenegger and other celebrities like Tom Clancy, Shaquille O'Neal, G. Gordon Liddy, and any other high-profile American with $100,000 to spare spurred General Motors to acquire the Hummer name for a new range of smaller SUV's. With a well-timed second war in Iraq, General Motors saw sales of its Hummer H2 skyrocket, just as "Ahnuld" prepared for the debut of the third installment of his Terminator movies, which cemented his Hollywood status as the king of action movies since the first battle in Iraq.They say timing is everything. With the exploration of everything from consumer buying habits and American economics to global military action and big-budget Hollywood star power, HUMMER tells the story of how priceless and valuable timing has been for America's largest and most recognizable SUV.About the AuthorMartin Padgett is the editor of the Web's Automotive Authority, www.TheCarConnection.com, and contributes regularly to Stuff magazine as the resident "road warrior." He also writes car news and columns for Import Tuner, Edmunds.com, and other publications.

The Kingdom of the Supernatural: Basic Instructions Before

Hummer — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:50:01 +0000

This Book was birthed out of my Personal Relationship with My Lord and Savior. Let me assure you that God came to me first as a warning that I was going to go through many hardships, griefs, and trials. None of which I was expecting. He was preparing me for things I would have never been able to survive in my own strength. If He had not warned me of the hardships to come, it may had led me to my demise. "I'll always be with you, you'll never be alone." This was God saying to me " You are mine, I knew you before you were in your mothers womb." I am a chosen child of God, all I had to say was Yes, Lord, Yes! Knowing God is knowing my destiny! I hope this book will steer numerous people to their destiny with the ONE that trully loves you, unconditionally! I pursue Him with my whole heart, I want more and more of the love He has for me. I urge you all to pursue our Savior, He won't be hard to find. Just ask Him to forgive your sins and come into your heart, He will! My prayer is that everyone that reads this book will know they also have a Personal Savior and that this book will guide you to that reality. I trully beleive this book will take a Christian to a whole new level and bring a non-christian to their Salvation. This is my prayer.

Hummer — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 22:03:50 +0000

Can a hummingbird dream? Artist Miranda Jones thinks so. Sensing the tiny injured bird that wings its way into her world still lives, she paints the creature's dream-garden and seems to reach into his very heart. She reached into her own heart to create a new life for herself in Milford-Haven, the small town of undiscovered beauty on California's Central Coast, where one of her dear friends is environmentalist Samantha Hugo-a brilliant PhD twenty years her senior who gave up a son years earlier. Though the e-book stands alone, it also introduces Book 1 of the Milford-Haven Novels, the critically acclaimed, popular series, a multi-generational saga. Based on Purl's BBC Radio drama Milford-Haven U.S.A.

Ephemeron: Poems (Southern Messenger Poets)

Hummer — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:40:43 +0000

T. R. Hummer's new and characteristically pyrotechnic collection takes its title from the rare (in English) singular form of the common word ''ephemera.'' In a work of startling originality, the poet presents a meditation on ephemerality from the point of view of the ephemeron itself as it passes, be it the individual, the atom, the particle.

Hummer's work is existential and atemporal. The scope of the poems gradually broadens from the opening section, also called ''Ephemeron,'' through ''Either/Or,'' which is a fulcrum, on to plural ''Ephemera.'' The vision that emerges is haunting, evoking the aftermath of a physical, psychological, and spiritual apocalypse.

Relentless in its stalking of the boundary between being and nonbeing, Ephemeron becomes a tour-de-force that shines a spotlight into dark corners of Being, revealing yet more darkness.
