Book Description
Never in a million years did lean, muscled, competitive figure skater Garry Windsor imagine he’d sink this low—performing nightly in “Gold on Ice,” a glittery, gaudy, touring ice-skating show. Maybe if he hadn’t fallen on his adorable buns with each attempted quad jump during his one-shot Olympic program, he be beaming from a cereal box. Garry’s only consolation in the world of theme park tacky is his best friend and fellow skater Jay Logan. When the two aren’t gyrating on the ice, they’re scorching the sheets at every Motel 6 with their male fans, dreaming of rich husbands and life without the soulless frostbite of pro skating. When the troupe lands at a local rink in boring Clarksville, Missouri, the guys think they’ve hit an all-time low… until they meet a gorgeous eighteen-year-old fan of the first order: Tag Tempkin. Projecting a demeanor of sweet innocence, the novice skater shyly takes to the ice under Jay and Garry’s prodding and executes a dazzling, flawless performance. Impressed with his skating—and his spandex—Jay and Garry push their producer to add him to the show, while both men pursue him in bed where Tag demonstrates talents that could win him gold in a whole new category of competition. Faster than they can say Eve Harrington on steroids, Garry and Jay watch in horrified amazement as their protégé steps over their beautiful bodies and claws his way to the top. But this isn’t Garry and Jay’s first time at the ice-skating rodeo, and they have a thing or two to teach Miss Manipulation about getting even. Using everything and everyone at their disposal—from cheap tricks to some of the most gorgeously sculpted bait on the planet—Garry and Jay concoct a delicious plan of revenge that will pull the sequins off a certain skater’s goody-goody act and show the world All About Tag…

Structures and Architecture
Author: Paulo J. da Sousa Cruz
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1317549953
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1465
Book Description
Although the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering have both experienced their own historical development, their interaction has resulted in many fascinating and delightful structures. To take this interaction to a higher level, there is a need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to persuade architects and structural engineers to further collaborate in this process, exploiting together new concepts, applications and challenges. This set of book of abstracts and full paper searchable CD-ROM presents selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Structures and Architecture Conference (ICSA2016), organized by the School of Architecture of the University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal (July 2016), to promote the synergy in the collaboration between the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering. The set addresses all major aspects of structures and architecture, including building envelopes, comprehension of complex forms, computer and experimental methods, concrete and masonry structures, educating architects and structural engineers, emerging technologies, glass structures, innovative architectural and structural design, lightweight and membrane structures, special structures, steel and composite structures, the borderline between architecture and structural engineering, the history of the relationship between architects and structural engineers, the tectonics of architectural solutions, the use of new materials, timber structures and more. The contributions on creative and scientific aspects of the conception and construction of structures, on advanced technologies and on complex architectural and structural applications represent a fine blend of scientific, technical and practical novelties in both fields. This set is intended for both researchers and practitioners, including architects, structural and construction engineers, builders and building consultants, constructors, material suppliers and product manufacturers, and other experts and professionals involved in the design and realization of architectural, structural and infrastructural projects.
