Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller A hilarious full-color guide to Midwestern culture, from comedian and journalist Charlie Berens, creator of the viral comedic series "The Manitowoc Minute" Have you ever had a goodbye lasting more than four hours? Do you lack the emotional capacity to say “I love you” so you just tell your loved ones to “watch out for deer”? Have you apologized to a stranger because she stepped on your foot? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there’s a good chance you’re a Midwesterner—or a Midwesterner at heart. Even if you answered no, you probably know someone who held the door for you from two football fields away. He likely waved at you and said, “Hey there,” like you organized the church bar crawl together. That was a Midwesterner in the wild. We understand that your interaction was strange—but it’s likely to get stranger. Don’t wait until they stick their head in your second-floor window to invite you over for a perch fry because they climbed on your roof to clean your gutters. There’s no need to pull the pepper spray; this species is helpful by nature. And the relationship could be very symbiotic—but only if you let it happen. And that’s where this book comes into play. Inspired by my comedy tours across the Midwest and life growing up in Wisconsin, this book is an exploration into my favorite region on Earth. Some may think the Midwest is just a bunch of bland flyover states filled with less diversity than a Monsanto monoculture. But scratch that surface with your buck knife and you’ll find rich cultures and traditions proving we’re more than just fifty shades of milk. So whether you’re a born-and-bred Midwesterner looking to sharpen your skill at apologies or a costal elite visiting the in-laws for the holidays, this book will help you navigate the Midwest, with everything from the best flannel looks to dating and mating rituals (yes, casserole is involved) to climbing the corporate corn silo to how to handle a four-way stop—and every backyard brat fry in between. And for those of you who don’t like reading, don’t worry—we’ve got pictures! Toss in illustrations, sidebars, quizzes, and jokes worthy of a supper club stall and The Midwest Survival Guide is just the walleye-deep look into this distinctive, beautiful, and bizarre American culture you’ve been looking for.

Book excerpt: For the generation coming of age in the years from 1987 to 1994, RIP magazine was every bit as crucial as Rolling Stone. Life on Planet Rock describes how Friend, the editor of RIP, became the Zelig-like chronicler of the biggest musical moments of that time—from introducing Guns N’ Roses (in nothing but a top hat, underwear, and cowboy boots) to sitting in during the making of Metallica’s "Black Album." Life on Planet Rock provides revealing portraits of artists as varied as Kurt Cobain, Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper, Axl Rose, James Hetfield, Steven Tyler, and many more. Part oral history, part candid and humorous memoir, it is a wormhole back to a fast-moving time in music that saw tastes flash from new wave to hair metal to grunge, told as only someone who was there through it all could tell it.

Download or read book Hang in There Like Hair in a Biscuit written by Brad Bradford and published by INHPL. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "HANG IN THERE LIKE HAIR IN A BISCUIT¿ is the first book written by Brad Bradford. Growing up in the red clay of north Alabama during the sixties, he began getting his education in the game of life at an early age. He was able to overcome adversity and a serious eye injury and turn it into an unbelievable inspirational story. Brad actually sold chicken stew door to door out of the trunk of his 1959 Edsel to help pay for his college education. Following graduation from the University of Alabama, he began his journey through the coaching ranks. His leadership as a head football coach at age twenty-eight was phenomenal. He led his high school team to nineteen wins in two years in spite of having only twenty-one players on the team. His dream job at the University of Alabama soon followed. Coach Bradford was selected as the director of Bryant Hall Athletic Dorm and later served as the football recruiting coordinator at his alma mater. When Alabama¿s head coach took a job in the NFL, Brad was married with two boys less than three years of age and out of a job. Never one to give up on his dreams and goals, he joined the University of Louisville football staff as a graduate assistant coach MAKING TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS A MONTH. In less than six months, he became a full time assistant, coach for the running backs and served as the recruiting coordinator. He was named by the media as one of the ¿Best Recruiters in the Nation.¿ Once, seven of the eleven starters on the offensive team were recruited and signed by Brad Bradford. Shortly after the 1994 season, history repeated itself. The head football coach took another job and again, Brad was without a job. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he decided to take on a new challenge and opportunity. A financial planning firm in Alabama selected him as the executive director where he grew the company from 1.5 million dollars in volume to over 70 million in less than seven years. He is now president of his own company, Bradford Consulting Group. In addition to his popularity as a professional speaker, he is an accomplished bluegrass musician. Brad currently resides in Destin, Florida.
Download or read book On the Efficient Determination of Most Near Neighbors written by Mark S. Manasse and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time-worn aphorism "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades" is clearly inadequate. Close also counts in golf, shuffleboard, archery, darts, curling, and other games of accuracy in which hitting the precise center of the target isn't to be expected every time, or in which we can expect to be driven from the target by skilled opponents. This book is not devoted to sports discussions, but to efficient algorithms for determining pairs of closely related web pages—and a few other situations in which we have found that inexact matching is good enough — where proximity suffices. We will not, however, attempt to be comprehensive in the investigation of probabilistic algorithms, approximation algorithms, or even techniques for organizing the discovery of nearest neighbors. We are more concerned with finding nearby neighbors; if they are not particularly close by, we are not particularly interested. In thinking of when approximation is sufficient, remember the oft-told joke about two campers sitting around after dinner. They hear noises coming towards them. One of them reaches for a pair of running shoes, and starts to don them. The second then notes that even with running shoes, they cannot hope to outrun a bear, to which the first notes that most likely the bear will be satiated after catching the slower of them. We seek problems in which we don't need to be faster than the bear, just faster than the others fleeing the bear.
Download or read book Lucy and Danae written by Wiley Miller and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2005-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a rare cartoonist who can introduce new characters into a successful strip without upsetting readers. But since Wiley introduced Lucy, the lovable Pygmy-Clydesdale-with-an-attitude as the companion to Danae, Non Sequitur's cynical anti-heroine, fans have been clamoring for more of the pair. Now readers can enjoy the adventures of Lucy and Danae in the Non Sequitur collection dedicated to their exploits, Lucy and Danae: Something Silly This Way Comes. Lucy's lovable equine goofiness tempers Danae's overdeveloped cynicism as Danae struggles with school, her father, and her sunny little sister, Kate. World-weary beyond her years, Danae sports a skull-in-heart T-shirt and perpetual scowl, while Lucy embodies unbridled optimism with her horsey grin. From their first meeting at summer camp, to Danae's "sneaky yet noble" plot to train Lucy as a guide horse for the blind (they do exist!), to an unplanned expedition to Santa's Workshop (in Maine, not the North Pole), Danae and Lucy turn the cliche of a sentimental girl and her horse upside down and inside out. With Lucy and Danae, Wiley Miller has found a winning combination that readers can't resist.
