Femail by Shana Moore,Linda M Sharp Pdf

"I dare you to find even one page of this wonderful book that doesn't make you laugh. Linda and Shana are hysterical squared! And I mean that in a good way their musings made me smile, snort, and shout, 'Exactly right!'"-Debra Garfinkle, author of Storky: How I Lost My Nickname and Won the Girl (Putnam, 2005) Sex may take place in The City, but there's plenty of sass in the suburbs. While Linda Sharp and Shana Moore might cop to being housewives, these gals are far from desperate. Rather than finding their thrills with a pool boy, Sharp and Moore delight in taking the head-splitting struggles all women experience, and making you laugh until your sides have busted their seams. Linda and Shana tell it like you've experienced it only this time around it's funny. Their flat out honest portrayals of PMS and unearned sweat; puppies and grown women who piddle; sagging breasts and husbands who often act like boobs, will leave you smiling, and feeling less alone in your leaky rowboat. "Femail got me laughing out loud! It's a celebration of friendship that's at once irreverent, feisty and heartfelt."-Alison van Diggelen, founder & editor of Silicon Mom "Moore and Sharp unite tongue and cheek for a hilarious, witty, sometimes frumpy, sometimes sexy romp through the daily challenges and international nuances of motherhood in the twenty-first century."-Kymberli Brady, author of The Sleepy Little Star and Give Them Wings and Let Them Fly

Caffeinated by Murray Carpenter Pdf

“You’ll never think the same way about your morning cup of coffee.”—Mark McClusky, editor in chief of Wired.com and author of Faster, Higher, Stronger Journalist Murray Carpenter has been under the influence of a drug for nearly three decades. And he’s in good company, because chances are you’re hooked, too. Humans have used caffeine for thousands of years. A bitter white powder in its most essential form, a tablespoon of it would kill even the most habituated user. This addictive, largely unregulated substance is everywhere—in places you’d expect (like coffee and chocolate) and places you wouldn’t (like chewing gum and fruit juice), and Carpenter reveals its impact on soldiers, athletes, and even children. It can make you stronger, faster, and more alert, but it’s not perfect, and its role in health concerns like obesity and anxiety will surprise you. Making stops at the coffee farms of central Guatemala, a synthetic caffeine factory in China, and an energy shot bottler in New Jersey, among numerous other locales around the globe, Caffeinated exposes the high-stakes but murky world of caffeine, drawing on cutting-edge science and larger-than-life characters to offer an unprecedented understanding of America’s favorite drug.

Lattes and Levitation, Books 1-3: Caffeine Before Curses, Muffins After Magic, and Pastries and Prophecies by Christine Pope Pdf

Las Vegas, New Mexico, isn’t exactly sin city, but that doesn’t keep this quiet little town from seeing its share of unexpected murders! And while Skye O’Malley, owner of the Levitation Latte coffee shop, might be doing her best to lead a quiet life, she finds herself called to bring her talent reading tea leaves — and having a prophetic dream here and there — to solve those crimes. Lattes and Levitation is a lighthearted small town mystery series with an overarching romance subplot carries throughout the books. This boxed set includes the first three books in the Lattes and Levitation paranormal cozy series: Caffeine Before Curses Skye’s witch powers are nothing special. When a film crew comes to town, though, those powers are put to the test when the film’s star — her unrequited crush — is accused of murder. Max needs a miracle, but if Skye’s tea leaves are too murky, a killer could get away clean. Muffins After Magic When Skye and Max discover the dead body of the town mayor in the harvest festival’s corn maze, Skye pushes her magical boundaries with the help of YouTube how-to spellcasting videos. Now not only does she have a highly annoyed talking cat, a murderer has taken notice…. Pastries and Prophecies Skye had hoped February would involve surprises like Valentine chocolates, not the mother who abandoned her showing up out of the blue to teach her about the family magic. But when her mother is accused of murder, Skye’s efforts to prove her innocence could make her the next to die.

The World of Caffeine by Bennett Alan Weinberg,Bonnie K. Bealer Pdf

Caffeine is the world's most popular drug! Almost all of us start our day with a jolt of caffeine from coffee, tea or cola. And many of us crave chocolate when we're stressed or depressed. Without it we're lethargic, head-achy and miserable. Why? Why do we crave caffeine? How much do we really know about our number one drug of choice? Here is the first natural, cultural, and artistic history of our favorite mood enhancer--how it was discovered, its early uses, and the unexpected parts it has played in medicine, religion, painting, poetry, learning, and love. Weinberg and Bealer tell an intriguing story of a remarkable substance that has figured prominently in the exchanges of trade and intelligence among nations and whose most common sources, coffee, tea, and chocolate, have been both promoted as productive of health and creativity and banned as corrupters of the body and mind or subverters of social order. Some Highlights From the World of Caffeine Balzac's addiction to caffeine drove him to eat coffee, as some schizophrenic patients are observed to do today, and may have killed him Mary Tuke breaks the male monopoly on tea in England in 1725 The ways caffeine functions as a smart pill Goethe's responsibility for the discovery of caffeine Did a mini Ice Age help bring coffee, tea and chocolate to popularity in Europe? What is the mystery of coffee's origin? As good as gold: the stories of how caffeine, in its various forms, was used as cash in China, Africa, Central America and Egypt What does the civet cat have to do with the most costly coffee on earth today? The World of Caffeine is a captivating tale of art and society -- from India to Balzac to cybercafes -- and the ultimate caffeine resource.

New York City Coffee by Erin Meister Pdf

This colorful history explores New York’s coffee culture from the brew’s initial arrival in the 1600s to today’s artisanal connoisseurs. The coffee industry was made for New York: complex, diverse, fascinating and full of attitude. Since arriving in seventeenth-century New Amsterdam, coffee held patriotic significance during wartime, fueled industrial revolution and transformed the city's foodways. The New York Coffee Exchange opened tumultuously in the Gilded Age. Alice Foote MacDougall founded a 1920s coffeehouse empire. In the same decade, Brooklyn teenager William Black started Chock Full o’Nuts with $250 and a dream. Today, third wave coffeeshops like Joe and Ninth Street Espresso offer single origin pour overs and push the limits of latte art. Through stories, interviews and photographs, author and coffee professional Erin Meister shares Gotham’s caffeinated past and explores the coffee-related reasons why the city never sleeps.

Caffeine Before Curses by Christine Pope Pdf

When a movie shoot ends in murder, a caffeine fix might be the star’s only hope. Skye O’Malley’s grandmother always told her she inherited the Sight. But other than an occasional message from a blob of tea leaves or a vague dream, Skye doesn’t think she’s anything special, since she can’t even predict which of her coffee-shop customers will order hard-core black or fancy frou-frou with extra foam. The only instinct she can rely on is the jangly feeling that something is about to happen. Like when her best friend (and only employee) Deanne tells her that a film crew is coming to their hometown of Las Vegas, New Mexico. The lead is Hollywood’s hottest action-movie star, Max Sullivan, who just happens to be Skye’s former "boy next door"…and her lifelong, unrequited crush. Just having him around unbalances Skye's carefully curated existence. But when she starts having disturbing dreams involving Max and a prop gun, she can’t ignore them. Especially when the film’s notoriously unpleasant director turns up dead, and the evidence points to one prime suspect. Max. Max needs a miracle, not a not-quite witch. But he’s placing all his trust in Skye — and her murky tea leaves — to help him find the real culprit before the actual murderer gets away clean.
