You don't have to have an MBA to get ahead in business. You don't even need a college degree. All you need is intelligence, drive, creativity, courage, and The Cilantro Diaries. Lorenzo Gomez went from the stockroom of a grocery store to the boardrooms of two private companies without a formal higher education. In his inspiring and humorous true story of hope and accomplishment, he shares the steps he took up the ladder and the guiding principles that got him to the top.

My name is Stone Ridge and I'm a f--king go getter...I set my sights on what I want and go after it. Not giving up easily is what I'm known for. Well...that and shaking my dick for money. I take pride in knowing I'm damn good at both. Screaming girls everywhere, willing to drop their panties for me and toss their money my way, yet there's only one girl that I can't get out of my f--king head. Especially since she's my damn roommate.

Ancora un caso per il commissario Bordelli, e questa volta è davvero una brutta faccenda. Siamo nell'aprile del '64, ma la primavera proprio non si decide ad arrivare. Firenze è coperta da un cielo grigio e umido, un cielo triste che non preannuncia niente di buono. Così come niente di buono preannuncia l'arrivo in commissariato di un ometto piccolo piccolo che, con l'aria allarmata, insiste per essere accompagnato da Bordelli. È Casimiro, il suo amico nano, che ha appena scoperto il cadavere di un uomo in un campo sopra Fiesole.

I can't close my eyes...I refuse to. Every time I do, all I see is blood, death, and pain. I can feel it - almost taste it, bringing me back to that night. It doesn't matter that I'm still breathing; I no longer need it, I no longer want it. I despise it along with everything else around me. The only thing I long for is to f--king fade away. I've given up. Until her at least...Avalon. She comes into my world, knocking me on my ass. Once she sees the damage that I'm capable of; she'll look at me like everyone else around me does: with fear.

From the singular voices behind Tom and Lorenzo comes the ultimate guide to all-things RuPaul's Drag Race and its influence on modern LGBTQ culture. Legendary Children centers itself around the idea that not only is RuPaul's Drag Race the queerest show in the history of television, but that RuPaul and company devised a show that serves as an actual museum of queer cultural and social history, drawing on queer traditions and the work of legendary figures going back nearly a century.

In this edition of Letters to Penthouse, men and women confess every exquisite detail of their torrid affairs, sensual adventures, and wild one-night stands. No adventure is too daring - no kink too dirty. Married couples, perfect strangers, frisky friends, and randy roommates mix and match their desires - and share every sizzling detail of their erotic exploits.

Dear Hayley, I'm assuming you're still hungover, so I'll make this brief. Last night, you slipped under my sheets (without my permission), and we almost had sex. I got the hell out of the bed once I realized it was you, and I took you home. That's the story. The end. Period. Just in case you've forgotten, you're my best friend's little sister. We will never be anything more. (We can't be anything more.) Our previous friendship is still unresolved - or "over", in your terms, so I'd prefer if we worked on becoming just friends again since you're in town.

It can't be wrong when it's not hurting anybody - and it feels so good. Now in delicious detail, happy addicts to the solitary vice reveal how, sexually speaking, they take matters into their own hands, whether as a steamy solo performance or a torrid team effort. Share the guilty pleasure with gals and guys, spies and showoffs, fetishists and toy lovers, mile-highers and auto-eroticists. See why in close encounters of the first kind, nobody does it better or hotter than Penthouse. And they're eager to show you how.

My name is Kash Knight and I'm a protector. It runs deep in me, this need to dedicate myself to a woman and make her feel secure and cared for in every single way. Not just physically, but emotionally. But when women see my hard body, all they want is for me to pleasure them and give them their ultimate fantasy. I need something more, though, someone I can give my heart to. And when my eyes land on the sassy blonde that seems too busy to put her needs first, I know without a doubt that it's her I want.

Il commissario Bordelli, cinquantenne, scapolo, ex partigiano, amico di ladri e prostitute, viene chiamato a guidare le indagini...

My name is Styx Sterling and I'm a f--king giver. Most would say of great orgasms and rough sex, but I have so much more to offer, and when I find the right one I'm giving her everything that I f--king have in me: my heart, my soul, and my life.

Priam Farll es el más reputado pintor de Inglaterra: célebre por sus cuadros sobre policías y pingüinos, es adorado por el público y la crítica. Tímido como un cervatillo, nadie conoce su aspecto, pues lleva años viviendo en el extranjero junto con su criado Henry Leek, un granuja de tomo y lomo.

How does the Gospel communicate the eternal truth? Jesus was perhaps the world's greatest storyteller because his sometimes surprising parables conveyed timeless truths. While modern expressions of truth often reflect scientific frameworks, the ancient world just as powerfully expressed crucial truths through parables - stories that illustrate a truth by expressing it as fiction.

Notre-Dame de París cuenta la historia de la gitana Esmeralda, quien en compañía de su cabra Djali toca la pandereta y baila en las calles de París para subsistir, hasta que se la acusa de haber asesinado al capitán Phoebus, su amado, y se la condena a la horca. Sin embargo, el jorobado Quasimodo, campanero de Notre-Dame, quien tras su deformidad esconde un corazón sensible y sediento de amor, luchará para salvar a la gitana.

Elle avait entendu l'histoire de gens qui se sont rencontrés au bon et au mauvais moment, de ceux qui se sont aimés jusqu'au bout, de ceux qui ont aimé sans pouvoir le dire, de ceux qui pensent "au début j'ai tout raté" et puis ensuite.

Firenze, dicembre 1965. Un uomo viene trovato ucciso nella sua abitazione con un paio di forbici conficcate nella nuca. Del morto si conosce la professione, redditizia quanto disgustosa: era un usuraio e la gente, quasi a segnalarne l'estraneità, lo chiamava "il nuovo venuto". Da un primo sopralluogo non emergono indizi significativi e così il commissario Bordelli, chiamato a far luce su un delitto che suscita in lui sentimenti contrastanti - il bisogno di far giustizia ma anche una profonda ostilità per la vittima - si appresta a iniziare un'indagine quanto mai ardua...

In 1998, the thought of launching a startup in San Antonio was ludicrous. Just over two decades later, the scrappy little underdog that no one believed in is a billion-dollar business with more than 6,000 employees worldwide. The rocket-ship growth was exhilarating, but exposed Rackspace’s early flaws. The Rack We Built is Lorenzo’s recollections from those days, told only as he can tell it. With the principles in the book, you can create the type of culture that makes people want to volunteer their best.
