Harvey Keck's lifelong ambition is to make the world happy, one malted milkshake at a time. His singular ambition is to be known as the world's greatest soda jerk.

Otherwise, you will not be able to put this book down until you have finished it, based solely on the presumption that you will eventually find some redeeming quality in Harvey Keck's surreal life story. |
| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: There Is an Answer Luis Cortes, Reverend Luis Cortés, 2006-10-03 HIV/AIDS is a scary subject. Not only can it destroy a body but it can also destroy a family, friendships, and even a community. Nobody likes to talk about it, but ignoring the problem won't make it go away. In fact, what you don't know can hurt you and somebody else. The only way we can overcome this disease is through education, precaution, and proper treatment, because nobody is immune. The Reverend Luis Cortés teaches you how to understand the virus and the disease. Prevention is the best approach, but contracting HIV is no longer a death sentence. There are now a variety of treatment choices available and people are living with it, not dying from it. Above all, whether you or someone you know has HIV/AIDS, or you simply want to educate yourself, realize this: There is an answer. |
| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: Why Software Sucks-- and what You Can Do about it David S. Platt, 2007 I've just finished reading the best computer book [ Why Software Sucks...] since I last re-read one of mine and I wanted to pass along the good word. . . . Put this one on your must-have list if you have software, love software, hate programmers, or even ARE a programmer, because Mr. Platt (who teaches programming) has set out to puncture the bloated egos of all those who think that just because they can write a program, they can make it easy to use. . . . This book is funny, but it is also an important wake-up call for software companies that want to reduce the size of their customer support bills. If you were ever stuck for an answer to the question, 'Why do good programmers make such awful software?' this book holds the answer. -- John McCormick, Locksmith columnist, TechRepublic.com I must say first, I don't get many computing manuscripts that make me laugh out loud. Between the laughs, Dave Platt delivers some very interesting insight and perspective, all in a lucid and engaging style. I don't get much of that either! -- Henry Leitner, assistant dean for information technology and senior lecturer on computer science, Harvard University A riotous book for all of us downtrodden computer users, written in language that we understand. -- Stacy Baratelli, author's barber David's unique take on the problems that bedevil software creation made me think about the process in new ways. If you care about the quality of the software you create or use, read this book. -- Dave Chappell, principal, Chappell & Associates I began to read it in my office but stopped before I reached the bottom of the first page. I couldn't keep a grin off my face! I'll enjoy it after I go back home and find a safe place to read. -- Tsukasa Makino, IT manager David explains, in terms that my mother-in-law can understand, why the software we use today can be so frustrating, even dangerous at times, and gives us some real ideas on what we can do about it. -- Jim Brosseau, Clarrus Consulting Group, Inc. A Book for Anyone Who Uses a Computer Today...and Just Wants to Scream! Today's software sucks. There's no other good way to say it. It's unsafe, allowing criminal programs to creep through the Internet wires into our very bedrooms. It's unreliable, crashing when we need it most, wiping out hours or days of work with no way to get it back. And it's hard to use, requiring large amounts of head-banging to figure out the simplest operations. It's no secret that software sucks. You know that from personal experience, whether you use computers for work or personal tasks. In this book, programming insider David Platt explains why that's the case and, more importantly, why it doesn't have to be that way. And he explains it in plain, jargon-free English that's a joy to read, using real-world examples with which you're already familiar. In the end, he suggests what you, as a typical user, without a technical background, can do about this sad state of our software--how you, as an informed consumer, don't have to take the abuse that bad software dishes out. As you might expect from the book's title, Dave's expose is laced with humor--sometimes outrageous, but always dead on. You'll laugh out loud as you recall incidents with your own software that made you cry. You'll slap your thigh with the same hand that so often pounded your computer desk and wished it was a bad programmer's face. But Dave hasn't written this book just for laughs. He's written it to give long-overdue voice to your own discovery--that software does, indeed, suck, but it shouldn't. |

| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: The World is Full of Divorced Women Jackie Collins, 2012-01-31 Includes a sparkling new introduction to this deliciously wicked novel from Veronica Henry, talking about what this book and Jackie means to her. ‘Jackie bought a bit of glitter, sparkle and sunshine into our humdrum existence’ VERONICA HENRY 'Jackie Collins’s daring, unapologetic stroke of the pen, combined with her glorious wit, has single-handedly given creative license to new generations of authors and storytellers.' COLLEEN HOOVER There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins. With millions of her books sold around the world, and thirty-one New York Times bestsellers, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts to the yachts of billionaires, Jackie chronicled the scandalous lives of the rich, famous, and infamous from the inside looking out. 'A true inspiration, a trail blazer for women's fiction' JILLY COOPER ‘Jackie shows us all what being a strong, successful woman means at any age’ MILLY JOHNSON ‘Jackie will never be forgotten, she’ll always inspire me to #BeMoreJackie’ JILL MANSELL ‘Jackie’s heroines don’t take off their clothes to please a man, but to please themselves’ CLARE MACKINTOSH ‘Legend is a word used too lightly for so many undeserving people, but Jackie is the very definition of the word’ ALEX KHAN ‘What Jackie knew how to do so well, is to tell a thumping good story’ ROWAN COLEMAN 'Jackie wrote with shameless ambition, ruthless passion and pure diamond-dusted sparkle’ CATHERINE STEADMAN ‘Here is a woman who not only wanted to entertain her readers, but also to teach them something; about the world and about themselves’ ISABELLE BROOM ‘There’s a lot a drag queen can learn from Jackie’ TOM RASMUSSEN ‘Lessons galore on every page… about feminism, equality, tolerance and love’ CARMEL HARRINGTON ‘Jackie is the queen of cliff-hangers’ SAMANTHA TONGE ‘For all her trademark sass, there is a moralist at work here’ LOUISE CANDLISH ‘Nobody does it quite like Jackie and nobody ever will’ SARRA MANNING ‘Collins was saying that women didn’t have to centre round men, either in books or in life’ JESSIE BURTON ‘Jackie lived the Hollywood dream, but, she looked sideways at it, and then shared the dirt with her readers’ JULIET ASHTON ‘What radiates from her novels, is a sense that women are capable of great things’ ALEXANDRA HEMINSLEY |
| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: The Face Reader Lavanya Nair, 2016-09-16 What if you crossed paths with someone you felt you had known before? Would you fall in love with someone you hated? Is it possible to love someone who has caused you pain? When such a connection is made, you have no idea whether it is good or bad and you are drawn to them like a magnet. Relationships like these offer opportunities to learn and grow, most importantly they put an end to any unfinished business from the past. This is not the easiest of tasks. As a matter of fact, it becomes a reason to learn some outstanding lessons from the pain the other soul inflicts upon you, the very same soul that demands your attention, respect and love. |

The first hit man came after me at home, which should be against the rules. Then there was a second, and a third. Word on the street is that Anita Blake, preternatural expert and vampire killer extraordinaire, is worth half a million dollars. Dead, not alive. So what's a girl to do but turn to the men in her life for help? Which in my case means an alpha werewolf and a master vampire. With professional killers on your trail, it's not a bad idea to have as much protection as possible, human or otherwise. But I'm beginning to wonder if two monsters are better than one... |

| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: New Selected Journals, 1939-1995 Stephen Spender, 2012-07-03 Private faces in public places Are wiser and nicer Than public faces in private places. W.H. Auden, dedication to Stephen Spender, 1932 Stephen Spender wrote almost a million words of journal entries between his September Journal in 1939 and his death in 1995. In choosing from these voluminous journals for the new edition, the editors have tried to provide a picture of the various lives Spender brought together in autobiographical form. The earlier 1985 edition of the Journals was overseen by the author, and it privileged his thoughts about poetry - his own and other people's. The new edition includes the final ten years of Spender's life and provides access to the more intimate thoughts and feelings of the private man, but equally documents his life as a public intellectual who played a part in shaping the European literary and intellectual culture of his age. As we look back on the dramatic events of the twentieth century, we find that Spender was involved in many of them: the reconstruction of Germany and the construction of Europe (as Unesco's first Literary Councillor), the development of the cultural Cold War (as editor of Encounter), the founding of Israel, the anti-Vietnam movement in America. The Journals provide a personal version of sixty turbulent years of the twentieth century, hovering between diary, autobiography and history. |

| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: Grand Trunk and Shearer Ian Truman, 2016-07-22 When Cillian Kennedy’s body was fished out of the canal, no one believed his death was due to natural causes. But when the police wrote it off as an accidental death, four of his friends and family roamed the city in the search of any clue that may lead to the killer. Answers were found down dead end roads, on the edge of the industrial harbour front, in an abandoned building now a crack den, through obscure networks of anti-racist skinheads, the racist Heritage Front, former gay bashers, the flailing Irish mob and the Mohawk MMA circuit. Featuring some of Montreal’s most notorious neighbourhoods, and told in a uniquely gritty raconteur voice, Grand Trunk and Shearer offers more than the typical run -of-the-mill mystery novel. At a crossroads between noir, private eye and literary fiction, it is a book that will please those who have come to ask more of the genre with profound characterization, down to earth style, minimalist setting, believable violence and flawless dialogue. Praise for GRAND TRUNK AND SHEARER: “D’Arcy Kennedy’s search for his brother’s killer is a gut-wrenching trip into a world of people left behind by gentrification, forgotten by changing politics and trying to hang onto what little family they have left. It’s authentic, it’s raw, and it’s got heart. It’s a trip worth taking.” —John McFetridge, author of A Little More Free |

| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: Judi Emm, 2005-08-01 Olivia is a young girl from a working-class family background; she comes from a small countryside village, nestled away along with other villages, in the Hope Valley area of Derbyshire, in England. The story follows the events through her life over two decades. Beginning in 1967 as she is brought by an ambulance to a hospital, in Manchester, England, when she is losing an aborted baby, and she endures an inhumane and horrific experience at the hands of a sadistic doctor. Olivia's life then begins to moves forward when she joins a happy 'Hippy-Movement' crowd, before entering into a controversial marriage to a man many years her senior. Then a short time later she experiences with her husband, a very traumatic car accident, where at the hospital the attending doctor's prognosis, predicting that her life will soon be coming to an end!! But her body, soul, and willpower insist on fighting for her survival. A few years later she enters into a second doomed marriage. And in the following years that pass, Olivia's life seems to turn into a big 'ROLLER-COASTER-RIDE!' Now always filled with sex, drugs and rock & roll, as she clings to this wild, and crazy, hedonistic-lifestyle for her own emotional security. Until many years later, when taking an overall, view and stock of her life, which now seems to becoming so totally, out of her control, she finally decides that it's time for her to jump off, all of these fast-fun-filled-rides, which are taking her to nowhere. So after much soul-searching about what she does now really want in her life, she decides that it is time for a reconciliation with her second husband Alex. They decide to go to start a fresh new life, when they go to live together in North America, leaving all of her past behind her in England. So now finally at last Olivia, begins to enjoy the much-needed love of her husband and family, which deep down she had been craving for most of her life. Suddenly from somewhere one night out of the blue in the year of 1987, a deep, dark, hidden force in her life returns, turning twenty-long-lost-hidden-years, into a FULL-CIRCLE! Motivating her now to visit the world-down-under in Australia, forcing her to now confront and deal, with her dark, secret, hidden past, which tragically ends, with sad, dramatic consequences! WHO IS OLIVIA? The writer has portrayed in this woman's fiction novel a person that is as far removed from anything in Hollywood as possible! She's just an ordinary girl, who could be living next door to you, or anyone-else in the North of England. The life of Olivia has been portrayed and written in colourful, vivid, imaginary, and detailed true to life form so that the readers can visualise Olivia, as a real true to life person, that they could possibly identify with in part. While at times understanding and feeling that some of the things that happened in her life, could also have possibly happened in their own. But no matter what trauma, hardship, heartache or crisis arrives in Olivia's life, she not only challenges it, grows from it and flourishes, she is also very determined to survive it all, whatever life throws her way. And the readers will soon realize, that no matter how tough Olivia's going gets, she will never give up, even when she feels that her world is crashing as it begins to crumble down all around her, she will keep on striving until she perseveres. Yes Olivia is a true survivor and will always manage to keep on swimming, until she reaches and gets herself across to the other side of the shore! So come on you ladies--- And make yourselves very comfortable for this controversially, absorbing story, about the reality of a woman who could be you, or one of your friends!!!! As Olivia dares u-all to take this positively exciting and emotionally charged 'ROLLER-COASTER-RIDE' with her, hoping you can hang on until the end, as you deal with what her life has in store as it turns into a 'FULL-CIRCLE!' |
| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: Know That You Are Worthy Adam J. Rodríguez, 2023-02-02 Thirty-one alumni who were the first in their family to obtain a college degree share their experiences as first-generation students in this noteworthy new text. Their stories illuminate how the struggles of first-generation students are primarily due to a combination of multiple social inequities that are ignored, reinforced, and perpetuated by exclusive college systems. Speaking directly to current and future first-generation students, the authors offer tips and advice for success, along with powerful words of encouragement. Faculty and staff will also benefit from reading this book, as the authors describe a more equitable system in which universities are enriched by the wisdom, experiences, and talents of first-generation students while promoting a generative culture for all learners. |
| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: Allegheny Shifters Bundle 1 Lievens Catherine (author), 1901 In a world where shifters are confined to areas humans have chosen for them, the Allegheny forest is home for many different kinds--bears, badgers, coyotes... It's not easy for them to live together, which is why they created a council that makes laws and operates to keep the peace--or at least, that's what it's supposed to do. There are still rivalries, though, especially when it comes to how the carriers, a special kind of male shifter who can get pregnant, are treated. Shifters have nowhere to go, and abuse is rampant in several of the groups that live in the forest. Something needs to be done, and the first step to make it happen is to tilt the council majority the right way. Only then will everyone in the forest be protected. It's easier said than done, though.

| coffee doesn't ask me stupid questions: Some Arab Souls Dripping Elias Sassoon, 2001-03-19 This story is about an Arab man, Issa Aldunyar who lives in America. He is a literate man, a man of letters, a poet, a teacher, a scholar. This is also a story about Issa ́s children, strange and radical children. Radical ... How does one define radical? How does one define a radical man...who just so happens, to be an Arab? How is an Arab perceived in the Western mind? As a terrorist . . . . a maniac. Western prejudice against a whole culture and civilization. Okay there are Arab fanatics, but, what of the Western fanatics, terrorists, and, misguided idealists who commit crimes of the century? Let´s take, as an example, the Irish? What about their bombs, killings, intolerance? It has gone on for decades, centuries. And for what, religion: Protestant against Catholic, Catholic against Protestant. And they call Muslims the crazies? You want more examples, what about the people of the Balkans, Europeans all. What of their genocide, wars of rape, blunder, religious intolerance, and, their various ethnic cleansing attempts at the end of the bayonet? More examples? Look at the violence and brutality committed by people from the Civilized West, Germans, English, Russians, etc. What about Americans, are we better? We ́ve produced fanatics, terrorists, bombers, madmen. Better than them? Take the word Zealot. This is not an Arab word. It comes from the ancient Hebrew and denotes a group of religious fanatics who helped bring down a moral nation. Killed like madmen for a cause, for their cause. And they often killed unjustly. Madness, everywhere; it breeds, grows, and firmly roots itself in no one particular place. It is the Romans, the Turks, the Americans, the Chinese, the Japanese, Africans, Asians, South Americans; it is the Inquisitors and the Crusaders and the Nazis and the PLO and the IRA and the Communists and the fascists, and the Khmer Rouge: terrorism, fanaticism, lack of respect for life, love of ego??it is here in the present as it has been in our past. It isn ́t the product of one people or race. It is of the human race. And it is a problem for all races. For all peoples. For each individual. For you and for me and for our children who are here now and who will be born tomorrow. That is to be remembered now, when reading this book. The terror is ours, to be acknowledged by all |
