Log Cabin Floor Plans

Description

On The Fringe Of History is Chief Inspector Sarge Hoteko's personal memoir, including his experiences as a narcotic interdiction and antiterrorism instructor in 16 countries around the globe. Hoteko reveals the shocking, rampant and systematic corruption within many of those governments, especially; Pakistan, Mexico, Bolivia and Nigeria--the most corrupt nation on earth. He also depicts how overzealous internal affairs investigators bungled two major cases in Chicago that devastated innocent lives. As Hoteko stated, "Who watches the watchdogs?" He reveals how a biased press unjustly slammed Customs over the O'Hare Airport female search controversy. One NBC investigative reporter stated, "It is better to let a person go rather than to do the strip search. It's better to let the pound of heroin go out on the street..." On The Fringe of History follows one American's fascinating career around the world and captures the sheer patriotic joy he experienced while serving his country.

Description

She'd had an exciting and award-winning career. Then, like so many others, Karla Halbakken was laid-off after the company for which she worked was acquired. Armed with a great resume, she hit the road in search of the next rung on her career ladder - or perhaps even a new ladder. After years of again and again "pulling herself by her boot straps," the grueling search for steady employment began to take its toll. Her straps began to fray. Then they broke. She then began wrapping them with duct tape. Job application after interview after rejection letter after disappointment, she tried everything but no amount of networking provided her with an offer - much less one she could refuse. "Duct Tape for My Boot Straps" chronicles the frustration, tactics, and strange but true stories Karla endured during her new career search. In this sometimes funny, often insightful, and all too true book, you'll learn how one woman didn't give up...even when her boot straps did.
