The Driver: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 551min
From the creator of the TV show Bones comes a smart and funny debut thriller. “Everything a great thriller should be - always smart, often funny, and relentlessly exciting. I loved every page.” (Scott Turow)Michael Skellig is a limo driver waiting for his client in the alley behind an upscale hotel. He’s spent the past 28 hours ferrying around Bismarck Avila, a celebrity skateboard mogul who isn’t going home any time soon. Suddenly the wind begins to speak to Skellig in the guttural accent of the Chechen torturer he shot through the eye in Yemen a decade ago: Troubletroubletrouble. Skellig has heard these warnings before - he’s an Army Special Forces sergeant whose limo company is staffed by a ragtag band of wounded veterans, including his Afghan interpreter - and he knows to listen carefully. Skellig runs inside just in time to save Avila from two gunmen but too late for one of Avila’s bodyguards - and wakes up hours later in the hospital, the only person of interest in custody for the murder. Complicating matters further is the appearance of Detective Delilah Groopman of the LAPD, gorgeous and brash, for whom Skellig has always held a candle. As for Avila? He’s willing to help clear Skellig’s name under one peculiar condition: that Skellig become Avila’s personal chauffeur. A cushy gig for any driver, except for the fact that someone is clearly trying to kill Avila, and Skellig is literally the only person sitting between Avila and a bullet to the head. ungekürzt.

unSpirituality: Permission to Be Human , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
Unspirituality removes the delusion of the spiritual self and its story. Childhood suppression is at the seat of religious and spiritual delusion, which becomes the arena for the retrieval of a shamed imagination. Unspirituality strips away centuries of delusion. The spiritual story was once an answer to the anxieties of the natural world, but now has become a colorful cage in which humans are trapped. It is an insidious trance that has perpetuated needless suffering for our species up to the modern day. We have been led to look in the wrong direction. We have been bamboozled, beguiled, betrayed. We have been cheated for far too long. We have been led to believe our enemy lies "out there". We have been led to "believe". Our plight lies in the emotional investment of our identification with the image. I predict an awakening on this planet of epic proportions, where the realization of this conspiracy will spring to life. I see the long hardened road of religious and spiritual delusion coming to an abrupt end, like a domino effect, cascading across the globe. Our species is angry on a deep level. We know something has been wrong for a long time. We are tired of being thrown the scraps. This is primal, guttural; the scream of an exhausted humanity who will not take no for an answer. Who refuse to be duped any longer. It is the voice of reason and the shout of change! This audiobook is a reminder of who we are in the natural world and a call to stand up and be proud to be human without the spiritual story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Waters.

Krampus: The History and Legacy of the Mythological Figure Who Punishes Children During the Christmas Season , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
“'Tis late night in Bavaria, and all through the village, the grownups are drunk, full of beer and such swillage; While children a-tremble, hide deep in their beds, fearful the Krampus will rip off their heads.” (Ann Hart, “Krampusnacht”, 2016)Krampus: The History and Legacy of the Mythological Figure Who Punishes Children During the Christmas Season examines the pagan and Christian influences of the yuletide villain and dives into the riveting and frightening history behind the creature. You will learn about Krampus like never before.Christmas is the most important holiday of the year. After the corresponding days that exalt the national pride of each country, such as Independence Day in the US, Victory Day in Russia, or Bastille Day in France, it's December 25 that articulates the life, the work, and the economy in much of the world, including many non-Christian countries. Since ancient times, the beginning of winter has been the occasion for most people to eat, drink, dance, and get together to beat the drum and take a break.Though Santa had many influences, his most famous is St. Nicholas, a fiercely religious philanthropist who dedicated his life to helping the disadvantaged. He was not just a beloved bishop, but a fierce defender of the faith who remained undaunted in the face of persecution. To brand him a pious and God-fearing individual would be a massive understatement - indeed, he was to those around him the definition of a walking divinity and an unrivaled miracle worker sent straight from Heaven.After Nicholas of Myra’s death, December 6 became his feast day, and over the centuries, children anticipated his appearance with gifts. However, other children, particularly those of the mischievous sort, trembled under their covers on December 6 because they could not look forward to tinkling sleigh bells or belly-shaking laughs. Instead, they feared the disconcerting sounds of heavy breathing, guttural growls, and rattlin ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language (eBook, PDF)
If you are a reader who loves learning about language and the meaning and origin of words, then An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language will delight your senses.This book was the first etymological dictionary of Gaelic, and in the Preface, Alexander Macbain writes that his dictionary is the purest distillation of Scottish Gaelic, purged of all the Irish words which found their way into the lexicon. The dictionary, which contains 6,900 words, is a thorough summary of Scottish Gaelic. Over two-thirds of the words derive from native Gaelic or Celtic, with around 20 percent of the words borrowed from other languages. The dictionary breaks down this information so that it is easy to understand, for example, "sinteag" means "to skip, or pace" which is derived from Gaelic "sun"; the word was added to English as "shindig". For an example of a non-Gaelic origin, try "brisg" the Gaelic word meaning "lively", which is derived from the Scandinavian and in English would be "brisk".Macbain outlines Gaelic etymology by putting the language in the context of its group. The Celtic group was once comprised of Welsh, Cornish, Breton, Irish, Manx and Gaelic, and these six languages are divided into Britannic and Gaelic subgroups. The primary reason for the division is the velar guttural, symbolized by "g". The book traces the difference in the meaning and pronunciation of words which begins with this language division. Alexander Macbain was a teacher, historian, philologist and scholar of Celtic mythology. His writing style communicates a large volume of information in an easily digestible way. Macbain was a prolific writer, and An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language is his most enduring book and language lovers will return to this volume often.- Shop: buecher

The Circus Maximus: The History and Legacy of the Largest Stadium in Ancient Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city. In that short line, Anatole Broyard, a 20th century American writer, compactly captures the timeless and enchanting beauty that resides within the Eternal City of Rome. This tourist destination is often one of the highest ranked on bucket lists, for how could one not want to experience its marvelous ruins, mirror-like rivers, and spectacular stretches of aqueducts firsthand? As one sips on fine Italian wine on a terrace overlooking the grand remnants of the Colosseum, one can practically hear the roars of the battling gladiators, and the raucous applause of the spectators. And as one strolls through the coarse, yet quaint, cobblestone streets, one can almost hear the galloping horses, and screeching wheels of chariots in the distance, and even feel the brush of the breeze as they charge past. It is difficult not to fall in love with a city so effortlessly nostalgic, it verges on utopian. The ambitious and fearless emperors that built the legendary Roman Empire from scratch, the broad-shouldered, and bronzed gladiators, with their iconic plume helmets and glinting swords, and elaborate parties attended by toga-wearing Romans fueled by alcohol, violence, orgies, and other godless acts, all paint a picture of Roman life. At the Circus Maximus, the guttural cheers of the spectators reverberated across the enormous open space, but their cries could hardly be heard over the rumble of the ground. On the ellipse-shaped track, 5 charioteers would skew their bodies and steer their magnificent vehicles around the curves. Gusts of sand and dirt flew up from the whizzing wheels and encircled the pounding hooves of the stunning stallions. Distracted personnel and guards dragging their feet, were considered fair game. As one chariot careened to the side, preparing to collide with another chariot, a row of guards might have to try to duck out of the way in the nick of time. Some would be trampled by hooves. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/094133/bk_acx0_094133_sample.mp3.

Mia and the Curse: Erotica Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min, (USK 18)
She opened her eyes slightly, and her green eyes enchanted me, and immediately she closed her eyes again, saying some incoherent words. I carried her into the car and asked Dale to drive us home. I carried her to the bedroom and tried to undress her to change her clothes, and suddenly, she started moaning. The sound of her voice made my erect cock much harder than it was, becoming painful. She woke up suddenly and started kissing me. I tried to resist her, thinking she might be drunk, but what she said next made all rationality fly out the window. “I want you to fuck me.” My fingers worked on the buttons of my dress shirt, taking it off and my jacket at the same time before throwing them onto the floor. “I want you to take my belt off and undo my pants.” She nodded and reached her hands up to undo my belt. Mia's fingers worked quickly, as though I was strapped to a bomb, and she needed to get it off of me as soon as possible. Without any prompting, when my belt was loose enough, the button to my pants undone, Mia flattened her palm and slid her hand beneath my pants' waist. She felt a line of hair trailing down from my stomach to my pubic hair. I was trimmed, and then she felt the thick shaft of my cock. The organ jumped in her hand, and it was hot. Hot enough to make her pulse jump right along with it I finally closed my eyes, just as they rolled into the back of my head. My lips parted in a sigh. The look on my face was by far the one thing that made her feel so in control of the situation. She was rolling her hips, feeling my hard cock press against her wet panties, and it drew a soft moan from her, and a guttural sounding groan from me as I leaned down and angled my head to kiss her. ungekürzt.

Power Through Unity
Power Through Unity ist ein schwarzes, ein niederwalzendes, ein düsteres Album, aber gleichzeitig auch wunderbar. (metal.de) Eher auf den Erhalt der Atmosphäre, denn auf die klare Differenz einzelner Details besinnt, hat sich das Komitee der Geschwärzten für einen leicht sumpfigen Sound entschieden - was in Anbetracht zeitgemäßer Hochglanz-Produktionen doch gleich schon wieder für die Jungs spricht und der Scheibe einen ganz besonderen Charme verleiht. (metal-inside.de) Wiedererkennungswert, Eigenstandigkeit, hochgeschaukelte Hohepunkte und eine perfekt abgestimmte Teamleistung. (time-for-metal.eu) The Committee started out as a one man project by Igor Mortis in the winter of 2007. After a dormant period a team of 4 artists was assembled and further work begun on the recording and release of the EP Holodomor. The 4 songs of the EP were accepted with great interest by the metal community and were reviewed in several magazines, sites and blogs with an average of 7 / 10 rating. This has motivated the band to continue and work even harder. The band's headquarters are in Belgium, but the members share different roots ( Dutch, French, Ukrainian and Russian ). This strange diversity allows the band to be fluid, flexible and creative with their choice of music and lyrics. The band is carving out a new path in the metal underground with new fresh concepts that leave Satanism and Demonic influences in the dust. The main focus is history, occult manipulation of the mind and fascinating past events. *The Committee is not a political band and has no interests in promoting any agenda's*. The band's motto is: History is written by the victors, we are the voice of the dead. Originally The Committee started out as a doom metal band. However with the influence of the new members, new refreshing black metal riffs were added and subsequently brought the band to a new level. One of the trademarks of The Committee is a low, guttural guitar sound that touches the senses and emotions. The drums have different degrees of variation from slow dragging ritualistic tones to full throttle blast beats. The bass is not limited to a support act, but provides the needed variation in the form of self expressed solo's and punchy attacks. The low grinding stone vocals tell the story of pain, suffering and sheer horror. TRACKS: 1. Not Our Revolution 08:40 2. The Man of Steel 07:43 3. By My Bare Hands 07:01 4. The Last Goodbye 09:16 5.

In Times Like These
Der Aktivist , Autor, Dokumentarfilmer und Theologe Rev. Osagyefo Sekou findet im heimatlichen Süden der USA die Wurzeln im tiefen Arkansas-Blues und Gospel-Traditionen. To make 'In Times Like These', noted activist, author, documentary filmmaker and theologian Rev. Osagyefo Sekou went back to his Southern home searching for his family's musical roots in the deep Arkansas blues and gospel traditions. Produced by six-time Grammy nominated Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, featuring Luther's brother Cody Dickinson, Rev. Sekou's album is a new vision for what Southern blues and rock can mean today. In Times Like These is drenched with the sweat and tears of the Mississippi River, the great tributary that ties so much of the South together. The album's sonic landscape captures the toil of Southern field hands, the guttural cry of chain gangs, the vibrancy of contemporary street protest, backwoods juke joints, and shotgun churches--all saturated with Pentecostal sacred steel and soul legacy. Rev. Sekou's blues lineage runs deep. Rev. Sekou's biological grandfather, Richard Braselman played with legends like Louis Jordan, Albert King, and B.B. King. The grandfather, Rev. James Thomas, who raised Sekou, was an ordained Elder in the Church of God in Christ and a railroad union organizer. Carrying the legacy of his grandfathers, Rev. Sekou is a Pentecostal bluesman. During the recording of In Times Like These, Rev. Sekou made a pilgrimage home to Zent, Arkansas and stood at his beloved grandparents gravesite.- Shop: odax
