Download or read book Bloodroot 101 Dadmations written by Tim Lewis Rue and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lewis Lew B. Castner, my maternal grandfather was a night watchman/boilerman when he passed away at the age of 75 on March 11, 1963. Lew was an ordinary, hard-working man, neither financially wealthy nor famous. However, Lew was wealthy with friends and family, the rooms at the funeral home in Belvidere were packed with people. Lews funeral service provided inspiration for this book. The pastor gave a short sermon; he then asked if anyone cared to tell a tale about my grandfather. A number of people, one after another, stood up and told a story about Lew. I was eight, and wished that I had a pad and a pen to record the stories, regretting that they would be lost to memory. The compilation of these stories, as poems, is to preserve them from being lost to memory. Bloodroot was the name of a plant displayed in my botany class at West Virginia Wesleyan College. The stem when cut resembles bleeding. In regards to genealogical bloodlines I concluded that the term Bloodroot would be a good title for this collection of mostly family stories. My daughter Beth Ann suggested the title 101 Dadmations, and the two were combined: Bloodroot: 101 Dadmations.

Download or read book Daniel and the Lions Den written by Dan Starrett and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-12-12 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel and the Lions Den, the true story of an eight hour inmate is a compelling no holds barred story of humorous and disgusting anecdotes written by the author of The Father The Son and The Railroad Ghost and The Straw Servant. Dan Starrett spent twenty-five years in law enforcement and knows first hand what it is like to be in The Lions Den. One of the best ways to face the strain and stress of prison life is to have a cynical sense of humor and a desire to come out of The Lions Den Alive when the long shift is done. I worked closely with Dan and he has made my day go by faster with his wit and humor . I can attest to the contents of this story because I am retired from the DOC. This is life behind bars at its best and worst and can only be described by this man who has been there , done that. Prison violence goes from mild to unbelievable. The correctional officer does not have the best job in the world and is sometimes caught in the middle of the administration, the inmates and a speculating misinformed public that would keep him/her from doing their job. This story lends credence to Doing your eight and hittin the gate. If graphic sex and violence offends you, please do not read this story. This is reality. Ray McGuire, Yanceyville N.C. N.C.

Download or read book written by Mark Sohmer, Pastor and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My People Perish for Lack of Knowledge" I was between a rock and a hard place and my life had just seemed to stand still. I was not sure of anything any longer in this world because nothing seemed to go right or work out. This made me wonder if I had missed my position and/or the calling of God in my life. Could I be on a different course than God had planned for me? Was I supposed to turn Left instead of Right at Albuquerque? This book is much like an "Owners Manuel" for understanding "How" to become Victorious, where we were given our "Power of Attorney" and how to walk in that Power every day of our lives. When you begin to gain "Knowledge" then your Faith increases so that you will be able to speak unto that mountain that stands in your way and watch it be cast into the sea! (Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:23)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s face it: the information age makes dummies of us all at some point. One thing we can say for sure, though, about things related to the Internet is that their best strengths are often also their worst weaknesses. This goes for virtual private networks (VPNs). They may reach a wide base of customers – but can also be vulnerable to viruses, hackers, spoofers, and other shady online characters and entities. VPNs may allow for super-efficient communication between customer and company – but they rely on information which, if compromised, can cause huge losses. The Internet is still a frontier – sometimes so wide open it leaves us bewildered – and, like any frontier, the risks go hand in hand with potentially huge rewards. Virtual Private Networks for Dummies offers you a no-nonsense, practical guide to evaluating your company’s need for a VPN, understanding what it takes to implement one, and undertaking the challenging quest to set it up, make it work, and keep it safe. Whether you’re the resident expert leading the project team, or you just want to learn what makes e-commerce tick, this detailed, from-the-ground-up guide will soon have you comfortably conceptualizing: Security goals and strategies The evolution of VPNs Privacy in VPNs Extranets Remote-Access VPNs Funding Custom network solutions design Testing VPNs And more With new products and technologies offering supposedly revolutionary solutions to IT departments every day, this book focuses on the real world – you know, the one full of obstacles, mishaps, threats, delays, and errors – and gives you the background knowledge to make decisions for yourself about your VPN needs. Written with a dash of humor, Virtual Private Networks for Dummies contains both technical detail (standards, protocols, etc.) and more general concepts (such as conducting cost-benefit analyses). This clear, authoritative guide will have you securely and cost-effectively networking over the Internet in no time.

Download or read book Life on an Emotional High written by Therapy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-05-24 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Id describe this as my book of stimulation in poetry, with experiences of my life for both men and woman to enjoy. In this book I am divulging myself through poetry in a way different from others. Stretching your imagination of what you think poetry is while expressing myself on many different levels. At the same time Ill be giving you a hint at my experiences in conversations and thoughts with others. Just me riding the roller coaster of life screaming and hollering waving my hands and having a good time with writing. All of this while giving you secrets written in my poetry to leave you guessing and wondering, is this about her, her life, her relationships in love, life and marriage? Who was that about? Just making you wonder. So many thoughts in my writing that it will make you wonder about me, wonder about you and your life. All of my writings are from my heart to my pen, with a modest amount of modification and a minuscule amount of proofreading, limited enough to keep my writings as real as possible. In writing straight from your pen its never perfect and sending my book to be professionally proofread I thought would make my thoughts too unreal, too commercial; take some of my personality or zest out of my book. I wanted my writings to be as if someone was really speaking through writing. Even if my grammar was terrible, it would be the real me. The corrections I have done are straight from spell check from my laptop giggle, now we all know how that could be, but I did it anyway. Ive exposed me and my thoughts in a way that has allowed me to sky rocket to another level, to another me. Ive extended to you Theaology, THE STUDY OF THEA, Thea and the life experiences she has surrounded herself in, along with the joys of living to learn what life really was about and not the just the pretty picture we all want and or pretend it is. My painting of life is an explosion of time, painted in yellows and reds. Colors of laughter and smiles that are to abundant to count. Colors that allow me to stand in the wings of life and spilling it out to you in expression, thoughts and short stores of which will allow you to think twice about your life experiences and enjoy every single moment that god has extended to you. Now what I am asking for from each one of you while reading my book is to enjoy my book with an open mind. Dont tear it down too much but read what I have to say and live in the joy of my development of it. Let me explain briefly some of the chapters in this book. Chapter one is about loves hurts, joys and change that we all can relate to. In reading you will get a picture of what love and life is about, a picture of the happiness, the sadness, the ups and downs and the just plan sick and tired of love. My poetry will express this in every way I could imagine. Poetry of love so deep you will need a shovel to recover from it, because it pulls you in and makes you shake your head to say Ive been there. In this chapter there is a poem written in the form of a short story called, An Un-produced Movie of Romance. It is a screen play rewind; yes thats how I am going to describe it. Its the perfect story for the question, where is this love going? Chapter two, well Ive devoted this to the men, its my own unique message for them. My way of saying you are spectacular, even when we dont tell you, you shine. I speak in this chapter as if I am one of the boys. Ive removed that I am woman hear me roar attitude, and Ive learned that I couldnt roar without them as loud as I can now. In this chapter I play with 2 words Ive created, do-luscious and flow. Read it youll see what I mean, nothing but fun thoughts. My other favorite poem is The Struggle; it has a part one and a part two. Some of the woman who read these 2 poems may find objection to what I have written. But I had to say what I thought a man would say or wanted to say. The Struggle, was written

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impolite, aromatic, and incredibly erudite flatulence compendium will astound you with: • The recent discovery of the world’s oldest joke, a proverb from the Old Babylonian period, that turned out to be—that’s right, folks—a fart joke. • A new reading of Emily Dickinson’s poetry that “reveals” the true meaning behind “They Have a Little Odor.” • A harrowing account of Apollo astronauts getting inner-space gas from hydrogen bubbles in their drinking water on their way to the moon. • The other Tiger Woods scandal—this one involving a mysterious cheek-squeak recorded while Tiger sized up an approach shot at the 2009 Buick Open. • A scientist who built the world’s biggest whoopee cushion and lived to tell about it . . . . . . and many more wacky but true tales from the fart historian who brought you the best-selling Who Cut the Cheese? and its combustible sequel, Blame It on the Dog. In this incomparable collection you’ll experience firsthand the Jungian implications of farting, the environmental import of “flatulence cards” in the carbon-offset market, and the brutally honest social commentary of a man whose office chair broadcasts his farts on Twitter.

Download or read book Frank Charli written by Frank Yandolino and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of Remarkable People and Enduring Love in the Time of Woodstock In the 1960s and '70s, Frank Yandolino rode the hippie counterculture movement alongside visionaries like Artie Kornfeld and Michael Lang, and he helped put together the Woodstock Festival of 1969, the era’s emblem of love and peace. From then on (and even before that), Yandolino, a beguiling fast-talker, charmer, and gifted storyteller, took charge of his life according to those ideals, grabbing and embracing all opportunities that were thrown his way. This memoir is an account of his life as a hippie, art director, entrepreneur, manager, and screenwriter (as well as various other hats he wore in the creative industry)—representing musicians like Joe Cocker and Paul Butterfield, art directing at Penthouse magazine, designing “erotic sheets,” writing a screenplay about Marilyn Monroe and her seamstress Lena Pepitone, among other things. With his gung-ho attitude and fortuitous connections, Yandolino befriended Salvador Dali, hung out with Jimi Hendrix, ran with Abbie Hoffman, was kidnapped by a festival security detail in Paris, mixed with models and Penthouse pets, and watched secret Hells Angels initiation ceremonies. Throughout it all, Yandolino’s key message is his “free bird” philosophy of grabbing every chance you can and staying true to one’s artistic individuality. And, in the end, despite his fast life, he was always grounded by his love for his wife, Charli.
