Life turns on a dime but can dismantle on a single pill. A three second decision redirected my life to a course so dark that it's even hard for me to fully comprehend. However this is a true story that needs to be told and I have one hell of a story to tell. My story is one that has been side stepped or swept under the rug because it is one that society does not want to know. Every single day kids lives are ended by one single peer pressured moment to get high. My story takes readers behind the rose colored curtain of the drug world. From the big state of Texas to the big lights of Vegas, I not only took the road less traveled, but took it along supernatural paths in locations unknown and never meant to be discovered. There is an opposite side of every coin, hate as much as love, darkness for any light but I am here to tell you that there is also undoubtedly another side of ecstasy.

A TRUE story about a miraculous journey filled with antics of young men in the USAAF as well as many deadly encounters and near misses. The B-24 Liberator nicknamed Trouble was one of five bombers that were shot down over NAZI-occupied France on January 7, 1944. Sergeant Robert Sweatt, a waist gunner, was wounded in several places, including a nick to his jugular vein, but survived the initial attack AND the plane's explosion in midair, which knocked him unconscious. Bob regained his senses as he fell and was able to open his parachute. There are many more details of this story that are almost unbelievable. Read and enjoy.
Sergeant Robert Sweatt explains his thoughts as he wakes while falling.
"No matter how much I try, I don't believe that I will be able to accurately convey my feelings when I regained consciousness. In fact, at first I didn't believe that I WAS conscious. My first thought was ... so this is what it feels like to be dead. It was very peaceful and I don't think I have ever been calmer in my life. I was comfortable, not too hot, not too cold, no pain, it was very quiet. I was slowly assessing myself. All in all, I was happy with most of my condition ... except that I couldn't see. I blinked my eyes ... yes, they moved, I could feel them move but it was still dark.
Wait a minute! MY EYELIDS MOVED? That isn't supposed to happen if I'm dead."

I've been reading Larry Smith's work for over 20 years. That's long enough to make his work seem like it's always been there, and maybe that's because the people Larry writes about are ones I recognize: mill workers and farmers, waitresses and librarians. He writes about family and everyday concerns. Sometimes those are scrambled eggs. Sometimes they are snow birds. He is a very tactile poet.
This new book shows someone who is not afraid to change, even after many books. Along with his normal Zen sparks, there's a joyful surrealism here. Even the most black and white, photographic poems don't take themselves too seriously and open us up.
Smith's people spend a lot of time waiting. They wait for money, for night, or for the dark laughter of an epiphany to hit as a hard as "a busload of bibles." These poems exist right outside of town in a peddler's encampment where fairy tales and bad luck mingle with white bread and pennies. These are magical riddles made up of the real and the nearly so. Feast on them and dance.

Описание: Claudia, single mother of two young children, pines for her past independent life. Her ex, after all, has moved on to a new wardrobe, a new penchant for lattes, new adult friends.

Then Claudia receives the unexpected news that her mother has died.
Since the turn of the twenty-first century, Canadian unions have scored a number of important Supreme Court victories, securing constitutional rights to picket, bargain collectively, and strike. But how did the labour movement, historically hostile to judicial intervention in labour relations, come to embrace legal activism as a first line of defense as opposed to a last resort? Unions in Court documents the evolution of the Canadian labour movement’s engagement with the Charter, demonstrating how and why labour has adopted a controversial, Charter-based legal strategy to challenge and change legislation that restricts union rights. This book’s in-depth examination of constitutional labour rights will have critical implications for labour movements as well as activists in other fields.

The second edition of Writing Dylan: The Songs of a Lonesome Traveler examines Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan's historic career, yielding unique insights into a distinctively American artist's creative world. The book opens with a short biography and description of Dylan's artistic method before diving into the seven missions of his life's work. Chapters are supported by song lyrics, of which the author's license agreement with Bob Dylan Music enables a definitive presentation.
Since the release of the first edition in 2005, the laureate has produced three albums of original material as well as three widely praised albums of American standards. Columbia Records has issued multiple boxed sets chronicling specifics periods of Dylan's career and several films have been made about him. Dylan himself has also given numerous speeches and interviews, often while accepting prestigious awards. This second edition not only features these new materials but draws on them to recast the first edition, presenting Dylan's music as an indelible art form.
