i'll tell you one damn thing and that's all i know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: As I read through my journals from the past couple ofyears, in preparation for publishing this book, I could notbelieve the contrast from one 24 hour period to the next.Some mornings I woke with more willpower and positiveenergy than anyone on the planet. Apparently as I slept, thatglee, that pure joyfulness, would sneak out the back door. Iwould wake not knowing what I was doing and being unsureof how I felt, or what the point was. How could that happenovernight? My mother would always tell us kids, growing up,that as quickly as things could turn to crap, that's how quick-ly they could turn themselves around and be good again—verymuch like the way I have written these journals. One daygreat, fantastic! The next...well you'll get the picture.The true journey of the human heart is indeed very diffi-cult. I hope that as you read through these pages you'll recog-nize bits and pieces of yourself within them. We are so alike,and yes, so very different. But I think at the core of all human-ity is the ability to love. No matter what language we speak orwhere we live in the world, the essence of ourselves is made oflove. Love is really all I ever write about. Even tales aboutcleaning "Sweet Maries" from the cat litter, or watching mydad build a squirrel-proof bird feeder, it's all about love. Iwrite about love because I think about love, at some level,every waking minute of the day. Love got me this far, I shallrely on it as I continue onward

Lost in the Grooves: Scram's Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Do you remember these great pop stars and their hits? Deerhoof's The Man, The King, The Girl , Butch Hancock's West Texas Waltzes and Dust Blown Tractor Tunes or Swamp Dogg's Cuffed, Collared and Tagged ? You will when you read Lost in the Grooves . Illustrated by cult comic book artist, Tom Neely, this fascinating guide to the back alleys of the pop music superhighway will send readers on a nostalgic trip to earlier years. Pop music history is full of little-known musicians, whose work stands defiantly alone, too quirky, distinctive or demented to appeal to a mass audience. This book explores the nooks and crannies of the pop music world, unearthing lost gems from should-have-been major artists (Sugarpie DeSanto, Judee Sill) and revisits lesser known works by established icons (Marvin Gaye's post-divorce kiss-off album, Here my Dear ; The Ramones' Subterranean Jungle ). It also spotlights musicians who simply don't fit neatly into specific categories, such as K. McCarty and Exuma. The book's encyclopedic structure throws off strange sparks as disparate genres and eras rub against each other: folk-psych iconoclasts face louche pop crooners; outsider artists set their odd masterpieces down next to obscurities from the stars; lo-fi garage rock pairs up with the French avant-garde; and roots rock weirdos trip over bubblegum. As such, this nostalgic collection will delight any jukebox junkie or pop culture fan.

Don't Listen to Phil Hellmuth: Correcting the 50 Worst Pieces of Poker Advice You've Ever Heard - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What if many of the fundamental “truths” you’ve heardabout poker turned out to be false?Recognize any of these commonly held beliefs?• Preflop play doesn’t matter that much.• The key to getting paid off is playing looseso no one can put you on a hand.• Bigger 3-bets get more folds.• Calling is weak.• You have to bet this flop becauseyou don’t want to give up.There is certainly an element of truth to some of thesestatements, but by and large they are big misconceptions.Perhaps this shouldn’t bother us because, as poker pros, weprofit off the mistakes of others. But when we see so manyhigh-level players making so many fundamental mistakes intheir games, and having those moves endorsed by televisionannouncers, it’s enough to make us scream, “Stop! That’snot how it’s done!”This book focuses on correcting the greatest fallacies inpoker. There are an astonishing number of them, providingour common understanding of the game with an incrediblyshaky foundation. This did not come entirely as a surprise.Like many new players, we struggled to sift through allthe competing voices. One author would say this, anotherwould say that. For Dusty, it took more than 3 millionhands to generate an income that exceeded the sum totalof his bonuses.Hoping to give our readers a better leg up than wehad, we systematically take on what we recognize as flawedadvice. The two of us have combed through more than fourdecades of conventional poker wisdom. No one is spared:world champions, on-air commentators or other flavors ofthe month. Not even we are excluded from our criticism.One by one, we challenge each misconception, takingon what we feel are the top 50 ways to lose at poker. Byproving these misconceptions false, we think we benefit ourreaders in such a way that, by implementing these newfoundunderstandings, they can become more profitable tomorrow.We want this book to ultimately function as aFactCheck.org or “MythBusters” for poker. We hope you’llcome to look at us as watchdogs out to protect your interestsby questioning the powers that be.As we did in our previous books, Treat Your Poker LikeA Business and Way of the Poker Warrior, in this book wecover the game’s most frequent scenarios, seeking to providesolutions to situations that arise every 10 minutes rather thanonce a month. Our criteria for choosing misconceptions weresimple. Are they costing people money, and can we prove it?We hope to relate with our readers, letting them know thatthe scenario that’s vexing them now once did the same to us.Unlike our previous books, this is a comprehensivemanual that aims to troubleshoot the poker process fromthe top down, complete with hand analyses and a readerquiz at book’s end.The process of writing this book has led us to thinkabout coaching. Golfers don’t have 10 swing coaches.Baseball players don’t have 10 hitting coaches. Footballteams don’t have 10 offensive coordinators. But in poker,we tend to entertain advice from all comers, which leadsto confusion and a fragmented playing style. Why do wedo this?Profit motive.
Take On the Street: What Wall Street and Corporate America Don't Want You to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Investors today are being fed lies and distortions, are being exploited and neglected. In the wake of the last decade’s rush to invest by millions of households and Wall Street’s obsession with short-term performance, a culture of gamesmanship has grown among corporate management, financial analysts, brokers, and fund managers, making it hard to tell financial fantasy from reality, salesmanship from honest advice.In Take on the Street, Arthur Levitt—former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission—shows how you can take matters into your own hands. At once anecdotal (names are named), informative, and prescriptive, Take on the Street expounds on, among other subjects: the relationship between broker compensation and your trading account; the conflicts of interest inherent in buy-hold-or-sell recommendations of analysts; what exactly happens—and who gets a piece of the action—when you place an order; the “seven deadly sins” of mutual funds; the vagaries and vicissitudes of 401(k) investments; how accountants engage in sleight of hand to fake impressive company performance; how to find the truth in a company’s financial statements; the real reason for the Street’s hostility to full disclosure; the crisis in corporate governance, and, given these shenanigans and double-dealings, what specific steps you can take to safeguard your financial future.With integrity and authority, Levitt gives us a bracing primer on the collapse of the system for overseeing our capital markets, and sage, essential advice on a discipline we often ignore to our peril—how not to lose money.
