Download or read book Korn written by Leah Furman and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2000-05-05 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past eight-years, the face of popular culture has changed radically and with it, the music that will define the decade. Gone are the pop saturated songs of the 70's and 80's. Today's sound is a fusion of grunge, hip-hop, metal, hardcore and funk. Disparate sounds that together create something thoroughly modern and unlike anything we've heard before. No band embodies this musical melting pot more than Korn. With their frantic, no-holds-barred image and sound, Korn has jumped musical boundaries to be both Billboard chart toppers and a band with a loyal, obsessive following. --Their debut album, "Korn" went platinum and has sold millions --"Life is Peachy" debuted at number three on the Billboard charts --Korn's latest album, "Follow the Leader" has sold over two million copies and remained on the Billboard charts for over twenty-eight weeks. Elina Furman's in-depth look at the band's meager beginings to their breakthrough success with "Follow the Leader," their current multi-platinum album is a fan's ultimate guide.

Download or read book The Pit written by Tara Borin and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-24 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a small-town, sub-Arctic dive bar, this debut poetry collection explores the complexities of addiction and the person beneath, and the possibility of finding home and community in unexpected places. Among Borin’s poems are portraits of the bar’s regular customers and employees—recurring characters, like those who might appear in a dark and unconventional sitcom. The religious night janitor catalogues the day’s sins; the retired barmaid gussies up at the mirror; the regular customers and their regular habits are described to a new employee: “R has a two-drink limit. A likes a coaster. Remember, / Mrs. O takes a chilled pilsner glass / with her bottle of Blue.” In the melancholy atmosphere of the bar and the rooms upstairs, the speakers of Borin’s poems find unexpected solace and belonging. The habits, the routine, the regulars, the predictability of it all brings some kind of chaotic order to chaotic life: We drink without even having to think about it, because it feels good to lose control, feels like regaining it.

Book excerpt: "This stubborn, intractable, uncompromising woman, Doris Aiken, began her unrelenting assault on NYS legislative leaders in 1980--stunningly, against all odds, her voice was heard, resulting in immediate bi-partisan legislative cooperation passage of 13 DWI reform bills that dropped drunk driving deaths 27%." --Chris Cernick, former Assembly Special Panel for DWI reform, 12-31-2001 "The right of citizens to petition government was rarely so well exercised as in the 1980s by Doris Aiken, leader of NYS RID, to deter drunken driving.

Foschio, Federal Magistrate, former DMV Commissioner, 1-3-2002 "I once told a reporter that Doris was a pit bull, but if she were in charge, the budget would pass on time." --James Tedisco, NYS Assemblyman, 4-4-2002
Download or read book Rising Out of the Pit written by Bob Yandian and published by Harrison House. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is filled with stories that seem to be -over the top-. Although they are true, they are far beyond anything you could imagine. Have you been swallowed by a whale? Jonah was. Have you had marriage problems like David and Bathsheba did? Are you facing a problem as big as the Red Sea and being chased by an army from Egypt? The reason the Bible has stories of this magnitude is to let you know your problem isn't so big. And if God could deliver Moses, David and Jonah He can deliver you. So it is with the story of Joseph. Betrayed by his brothers over two dreams, sold into slavery to get rid of him, entering Egypt as a slave, being wrongly thrown into prison and finally ending up in a dungeon, Joseph gives us a story far beyond what the average Christian will ever go through. Yet, if God could deliver Joseph and turn his cursing into blessing, He can deliver you. Your financial failures, marriage problems, terminal sickness or pending lawsuit can be turned around by the God of Joseph. Are you ready for your cursing to be turned into blessing? Then join me in studying the life of one of the biggest heroes in the Bible. Your faith and courage will be strengthened as you find hope in the reactions of Joseph to the assaults of Satan and people. Your God is bigger than them both.
Download or read book The Foundation Pit written by Andrei Platonov and published by ISCI. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written at the height of Stalin's first "five-year plan" for the industrialization of Soviet Russia and the parallel campaign to collectivize Soviet agriculture, Andrei Platonov's The Foundation Pit registers a dissonant mixture of utopian longings and despair. Furthermore, it provides essential background to Platonov's parody of the mainstream Soviet "production" novel, which is widely recognized as one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian prose. In addition to an overview of the work's key themes, it discusses their place within Platonov's oeuvre as a whole, his troubled relations with literary officialdom, the work's ideological and political background, and key critical responses since the work's first publication in the West in 1973.

Download or read book Reflections from the Pit written by Cindy Winters and published by . This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an invitation. Rather than something to read or a project to complete, it’s an opportunity for us, you and me, to heal together. Maybe you were hit hard by tragedy, one day fine, the next day wounded. Perhaps your losses have been accumulating over time. Both equally painful and needing a healing touch. Reading about my journey is not in itself restoring. However, if my “story” can get you in touch with your “story” then the process of healing will take place. As you process through the pages, be honest with your feelings, thoughts, fears, memories, and the deep parts of your heart that might even make you feel uncomfortable. God knows it all and most importantly, He cares about it. I never sat down to write with an agenda or even a planned out thought. What I did do was express my heart and in the process I felt God draw near to me and I felt some comfort. I hadn’t planned on these writings becoming a book and when I finally felt compelled to do so, I put off getting it published because of how personal in nature it is. This writing is more about what I don’t know than what I do. You won’t find a theological discourse or me trying to answer any of life’s “why,” because frankly I know little in the way of answers. As the reader, you are getting a considerable look into my heart and journey, which is ugly and weak at times, but honest. I hope that through my honesty, you will feel compelled to be truthful with yourself and with God. Also, perhaps you will feel a connection to another person needing healing and therefore less isolated. As you write in this journal and embrace your darkness, our two stories will become intertwined and I pray that by the end, you will feel less alone, one step closer to wholeness, and that your scars will begin to serve as reminders of how strong and wonderful you are.
Download or read book Pit Bull written by Bronwen Dickey and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hugely illuminating story of how a popular breed of dog became the most demonized and supposedly the most dangerous of dogs—and what role humans have played in the transformation. When Bronwen Dickey brought her new dog home, she saw no traces of the infamous viciousness in her affectionate, timid pit bull. Which made her wonder: How had the breed—beloved by Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, and Hollywood’s “Little Rascals”—come to be known as a brutal fighter? Her search for answers takes her from nineteenth-century New York City dogfighting pits—the cruelty of which drew the attention of the recently formed ASPCA—to early twentieth‑century movie sets, where pit bulls cavorted with Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton; from the battlefields of Gettysburg and the Marne, where pit bulls earned presidential recognition, to desolate urban neighborhoods where the dogs were loved, prized—and sometimes brutalized. Whether through love or fear, hatred or devotion, humans are bound to the history of the pit bull. With unfailing thoughtfulness, compassion, and a firm grasp of scientific fact, Dickey offers us a clear-eyed portrait of this extraordinary breed, and an insightful view of Americans’ relationship with their dogs.
