Download or read book Living Strictly Fore Pleasure written by Trevor Pearson and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LIQUID GOLD It accomplishes what theorists, from Aristotle to Marx to Galbraith, have failed to produce: a Utopian State - state of mind that is. Because, while attentively listening to its ramblings (or while under its influence if you prefer), the world -for a momentary glimpse of time- is perfect. Your friends are funny, your girlfriend is pretty - the rigors of work a distant fuzzy memory. There exist no obstacles: you possess the pugilistic prowess of Mohammed Ali, Don Juan's charisma, and the financial resources backing Bill Gates. Both regret and fear dwell elsewhere. But, like all good things -as Adam, Eve, the Romans and M.C. Hammer can quantitatively testify- every good time consists of both a beginning and a conclusion. After which, chaos usually reigns: exile to the hinterland, barbarian raiders, creditors with grudges, beer stained jeans, vomit stained jeans, piss stained jeans, beer and vomit and piss stained jeans, nasty headaches, exorbitant Visa and Master-card bills, black-eyes, groveling to your girlfriend, letters of apology to the city, and even an occasional night spent on the hard bench in the local hoosegow! The twin nomads fear and regret have found a new home. Until, that is, they are banished once again, the following weekend (Happy hour at Spud's Pool Party bar & tavern 4 till 7 except Sundays, when it lasts all day) or night if you're lucky-with that first sip of Liquid Gold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of Chief Operating Officer is clearly important. In fact, it's arguable that the number two position is the toughest job in a company. COOs play a critical part in executing the strategies developed by top management. And, in many cases, they are being groomed—or test-driven—as the firm's CEO-elect. Riding Shotgun provides unique insight into this little-understood role. The authors develop a framework that illustrates who the COO is, why a company should create this position, and what the challenges associated with this job entail. Drawing heavily on first-person accounts from top executives, the authors offer a set of strategies to inform individuals who aspire to serve as COO. With a new preface and conclusion, and even more interviews from some of the most established and important companies in today's economy, this book is a one-of-a-kind resource for the C-suite and the boardroom.
Download or read book The Addiction That Drove Me written by Henry Bibby and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Bibby has been a winner his entire life. From three consecutive NCAA men's championships as the point guard for legendary Coach John Wooden's UCLA Bruins, to a contributor off the bench for Red Holzman's 1973 world championship New York Knicks, and winning a CBA title in 1989, while also leading the USC Trojans to the Elite Eight in 2001 as a head coach. However, the impetus for writing this book was not to list his myriad accomplishments in basketball that spans over a half century but to pay homage to the people who helped on his sojourn-family, coaches, teammates, and teachers. He hopes to enlighten the next generation of basketball coaches to avoid some of the pitfalls he experienced. With the coauthor, Douglas T. Branch, who came aboard on the recommendation of Hall of Fame National Basketball columnist Peter Vecsey, the pair conducted hours of interviews. Henry cultivated a tireless work ethic growing up on the family's modest farm in rural North Carolina and needed it, as he traversed the globe after his playing days. Coaching at basketball outposts abroad, such as Pico, Puerto Rico; Venezuela; Winnipeg; and most of the lower forty-eight, from Oklahoma City to Savannah, Georgia. He persevered partly for the love of the game and necessity. Finally, he had a modicum of security at USC for parts of nine seasons, then the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks, and as an assistant coach for three NBA teams (Philadelphia, Memphis, and Detroit). His desire to still coach never wanes. Anyone who is a fan of the rich history of basketball will be interested to hear his thoughts on basketball, past and present, and the broaching of subjects from family to religion.

Download or read book Every Highway written by Dave Feschuk and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed, there has been an explosion in the number of trucks on North American roads, carting goods from one end of the continent to the other. And just-in-time inventory management means that goods are now kept in trucks on the move, not in warehouses. It’s meant a radical change in the landscape and in the lives of truckers. In Every Highway, Dave Feschuk rides shotgun with several truckers, finding out first-hand what it’s like to spend a working life barrelling down the road in a huge rig, up against tight deadlines. Among the truckers who take him along are an ice-road driver, who hauls staples to remote northern towns at the maddeningly slow speed of twenty-five kilometres per hour, and a neophyte short-hauler, fresh from a six-week course and shaky in traffic, who drives a 140,000-pound king of the road. Every Highway is about the highway warriors who live in constant motion on the road, their business, and their fascinating and largely misunderstood world. Feschuk finds that, despite the incessant pressure to deliver on time, roads choked with big rigs, and a gritty truck-stop culture, the truckers’ lifestyle remains alluring.
Download or read book Under A Mulberry Moon written by Susan Slater and published by Secret Staircase Books, an imprint of Columbine Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020-03-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Booklist calls the Ben Pecos mysteries, from award-winning author Susan Slater, “A series to watch.” Psychologist Ben Pecos takes a transfer to Florida in his job with the Indian Health Service. His first assignment in St. Augustine puts him right in the middle of a terrifying case where a student has brought a gun to school and threatened his teacher. Ben works with both the troubled eight-year-old and the traumatized teacher, Maureen Beltzer. When Mo is offered a new job with the botanical garden at the prestigious Whitney Labs, she jumps at the chance to get out of teaching, little knowing that cataloging and photographing rare orchids may actually involve more danger than her pint-sized adversary ever dreamed of inflicting. Praise for the Ben Pecos mystery series: “This is a wonderful book with loveable heroes.” – Library Journal, (on The Pumpkin Seed Massacre) “Susan Slater’s Thunderbird is a witty, absorbing tale.” —Publishers Weekly “Slater effectively combines an appealing mix of new and existing characters … dry humor; crackling suspense; and a surprise ending.” —Booklist “Take a great plot idea and Susan Slater’s skill with language, combine them with her understanding of the religion and culture of a proud and ancient people, and you have a gripping novel. The Pumpkin Seed Massacre is her first novel. We mystery lovers hope it’s the first of many.” – Tony Hillerman “A solid, suspenseful narrative and colorful glimpses of Native American life strongly recommend this …” – Library Journal (on Thunderbird) “… Ben Pecos—raised far from New Mexico’s Tewa Pueblo—could become as lasting a fictional presence as Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee.” – Chicago Tribune
Download or read book Bryce Passage written by Daniel Morris and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. In this book the theme of journeying is predominant, as is the idea of coming to know the self in dialogue with others. The poems early in this collection tend to focus on art, artists, or the act of making, whether in the elevated sphere of the Jules Olitski-Clement Greenberg variety, or in the earthier realms of the Beach Boys, Porn Queens, and Feelies lead singer who is discussed by Linus (not the Peanuts character, but the failed artist of Greek myth). After several poems that concern self-portraiture and the act of making art as a form of person construal, come poems concerning growing up, traveling, and work. The collection ends with poems that offer signs of homecoming or redemption after a struggle that has involved personal loss and misfortune.
