    Knocking on Heaven's Door: The Path to a Better Way of Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min
    Like so many of us, award-winning writer Katy Butler always assumed her aging parents would experience healthy, active retirements before dying peacefully at home. Then her father suffered a stroke that left him incapable of easily finishing a sentence or showering without assistance. Her mother was thrust into full-time caregiving, and Katy became one of the 24 million Americans who help care for aging parents. In an effort to correct a minor and non - life threatening heart arrhythmia, doctors outfitted her father with a pacemaker. The device kept his heart beating but did nothing to prevent his slide into dementia, incontinence, near-muteness, and misery. After several years, he asked his wife for help, telling her, "I am living too long." Mother and daughter faced a series of wrenching moral questions: When does death cease being a curse and become a blessing? Where is the line between saving life and prolonging a dying? When is the right time to say to a doctor, "Let my loved one go?" When doctors refused to disable the pace-maker, sentencing her father to a protracted and agonizing death, Katy set out to understand why. Her quest had barely begun when her mother faced her own illness, rebelled against her doctors, refused open-heart surgery, and instead met death head-on. Knocking on Heaven's Door, a revolutionary blend of memoir and investigative reporting, is the fruit of the Butler family's journey. With a reporter's skill, a poet's eye, and a daughter's love, Butler explores what happens when our terror of death collides with the technological imperatives of modern medicine. Her provocative thesis is that advanced medicine, in its single-minded pursuit of maximum longevity, often creates more suffering than it prevents. Butler lays bare the tangled web of technology, medicine, and commerce that modern dying has become and chronicles the rise of Slow Medicine - a growing movement that promotes care over cure. ungekürzt.

    The Mezquita and Medina Azahara: The History and Legacy of the Moors’ Most Famous Landmarks in Córdoba, Spain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min
    The Calle Cardenal Herrero in Córdoba is an iconic cobbled street impossible to overlook, for it is home to the Andalusian city's spectacular Mosque-Cathedral. Also known as “La Mezquita”, this one-of-a-kind Moorish and Christian place of worship reels in about 1.5 million visitors each year, most of whom find themselves spellbound by its hypnotic architectural features and the riveting history that has transpired and continues to within the beautifully weathered walls of the dual-church. That said, the Mezquita is far more than a mere tourist attraction - in recent years, the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba has become the crux of a complicated religious conflict resurrected by impassioned worshipers and patriotic locals who fear not only for the future of its legacy, but the preservation of its true history. It is easy for those on the outside looking in to make hasty judgments about the ongoing dispute, considering the endless amount of information that is uploaded online by the second. The contentious debates surrounding the Mezquita are often products of outdated prejudices, festering distrust, and whitewashing, all of which make it harder for the Mezquita to remain a nondiscriminatory space serviceable to and appreciated by everyone today. Love, as they often say, is best expressed through meaningful actions, as opposed to syrupy words and hollow promises. To pragmatists, it's the smaller things that make the biggest splash, while hopeless romantics may take it upon themselves to go the extra mile. Apart from showering their better halves with trips abroad to bucket-list destinations and mountains of extravagant gifts, the wealthy might organize benefits and galas and make handsome donations to a cause that deeply resonates with their loved one. Whereas most would deem the tokens of affection exchanged by celebrity power couples to be sweet but inordinately excessive, many of those who pine after storybook romances are especially enamored of ungekürzt.

    Given to the Group: A Reluctant Gangbang Short: Georgie's Journeys, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min, (USK 18)
    Regina Ransom brings an ill-fated heroine to life in this erotic story about a surprise gangbang that finds Georgie reluctantly pleasing five men at once. From the first unexpected thrust into her mouth to the endless supply of semen she's forced to swallow, she ends up making sure all are satisfied. When, in a daze, she thinks about the orgasms that course through her in the process, the rough and reluctant gangbang she unknowingly encouraged might not be so bad after all. Warning: This audiobook contains very graphic representations of a gangbang with a reluctant participant. There is very rough sex and humiliation, including double team sex, deep throat, and reluctant semen swallowing. It is intended for mature listeners who will not be offended by sex acts between consenting adults. Here's a preview: By the time she was done showering, primping, and dressing, she had to rush to her car in order to make it to the hotel. She finally knocked on the door at 7:59, hoping the rush didn't show on her face. Charlie opened it, and she saw they had a nice enough room, with an extended living area that had a couch and a dinner table and a bedroom with a door. She walked to the table and set the manila folder down on it. She turned and asked where the other members of the band were. "We figured I'd go first, and then they would take turns with you. They're hanging out in the bedroom." That sounded silly to her. She didn't want to do her presentation five times. She shook her head. "That doesn't make any sense. You guys should all be in here at the same time." Charlie got a quizzical look on his face, but he shrugged and called over his shoulder, "Guys. She wants us all at once." She heard some exclamations from the room, but the doorknob turned, and the door opened. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amber Grayson Vayle.

    The Medina Azahara: The History and Legacy of the Moors’ Medieval Capital in Spain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
    “To Córdoba belong all the beauty and ornaments that delight the eye or dazzle the sight. Her long line of Sultans form her crown of glory; her necklace is strung with the pearls which her poets have gathered from the ocean of language; her dress is of the banners of learning, well-knit together by her men of science; and the masters of every art and industry are the hem of her garments...” (Stanley Lane-Poole, The Moors in Spain)Love, as they often say, is best expressed through meaningful actions, as opposed to syrupy words and hollow promises. To pragmatists, it's the smaller things that make the biggest splash, while hopeless romantics may take it upon themselves to go the extra mile. Apart from showering their better halves with trips abroad to bucket-list destinations and mountains of extravagant gifts, the wealthy might organize benefits and galas and make handsome donations to a cause that deeply resonates with their loved one.Whereas most would deem the tokens of affection exchanged by celebrity power couples to be sweet but inordinately excessive, many of those who pine after storybook romances are especially enamored of these grand gestures. However, nobody can deny that they’ve produced some of the most famous works in the world, including buildings such as the Taj Mahal. Such stories can certainly send the hearts of the starry-eyed aflutter, and while love is not quantifiable, few love stories can compare to the blissful fairy tale attached to the Madinat al-Zahra, commonly known today as the Medina Azahara. This tale involved a king named Abd ar-Rahman who was so besotted with a maiden that he built an entire palace-city for her from scratch. Naturally, this wasn’t just any old city - covering well over a million square meters by the foothills of the Cordoban Sierra Morena Mountains, this was allegedly the largest palace-city ever built in Europe. The Medina Azahara: The History and Legacy of the Moors’ Medieval ungekürzt.

    Stellar Fire
    Stellar Fire has become a track title on another album. This album has been deleted due to technical issues. If these can be overcome it may be re-released one day, but until then most of the tracks are on Silk Stone and Silver Wood anyway. I've left the old description below just in case you (or me) needed to read it:)... While planet rock was erupting from the riffs, rock and roll of the 1960s, the music for this suite was being jammed in coal sheds in Yorkshire and the Streets of Paris. Bands were scraped together from among friends and battered used equipment. Talent mattered first, to survive where audiences could enjoy destruction as much as entertainment. With roots tangled across both sides of a meandering track, these songs draw inspiration from rock, blues and classical lore. They are untainted by tuition or formality and have easy, friendly vocals. With a guitar style born of 60s and 70s rock/blues, they were recorded and produced in a back bedroom, using Audacity software... The Aviator riff draws you into a refreshing yet familiar world. With Irish roots, it's beat nods and stomps, as a story based in the living lore of rock-pop from the 70s fires your imagination. The battered Fender Stratocaster guitar of Rory Gallagher is an adulated icon of rock and blues. Tribute is paid here both lyrically and tonally to the aching wonder that Leo Fender released to the public in 1954 - the year that Alex Oliver, the album's composer, was born. As he wrests the sound of singing winds and crying beasts from his own guitar, Alex calmly leads us through the song like an eminent sage. It's like we are sitting round a glowing fire. Good story teller that he is, you can feel the thunderbird rising as the tale unfolds. It is as if an alien has arrived - the feeling people got when the guitar was first electrified. May the dust never settle on your dreams. Comparing the guitar to a gamut of heroic devices (hence aviator), Aviator celebrates everything we love about our musical heritage, as it slid sensationally from blues through 60s pop to rock. It is anthemic and driving...it will compel air guitarists and dancers alike to enjoy it to the full. One (Stellar Fire) Then, as the ariel moan of a biplane sustains sweet memories of the mad biker that is aviator, we are swiftly introduced to a guitar fanfare announcing a softer mood. With lyrics taken from Celtic, Gael and Manx myths (with a bit of Patrick Moore thrown in), One - Stellar Fire is not what you'd immediately guess to be a love song. Giving us the album title, this tale speaks of how forces beyond human reckoning enrich our lives and loves. An unashamed tenderness is evident in the conversations that two guitars enjoy in the intro, softly swished along on cymbals. The Hispano-Irish anthem then moves along with the rhythm, which is wrought purely from an acoustic guitar. Peruvian influence can be traced in the vocal harmonies that are eased along with bright arpeggios. The lyric of One tells us that love which comes to us is a gift of the universe, and maybe we should learn to live with it and not fight it. ...where two riders meet, in the skies over love... Whilst we contemplate the somewhat deep opening lyric for such an airy piece, an Appalachian guitar solo echoes as if played in woodlands. It stirs primeval spirits that move softly, yet unstoppably through every cell of our being. Then with a joyous, almost Christmassy feel, a violin technique on the guitar takes the riff towards a concluding verse. The cosmic undertone in this lyric enforces the album's theme, telling of stars that hide from the day... 1960s pop music influences the design this piece, which now runs to the close with a sustained uplifting chant, riding on the chorus. A gentle fade brings closure, not to one, but two tracks. Distant guitars emulate the image of the vocal line - love is like a comet flight. They finally recede into silence, allowing an important moment of contemplation between tracks. Son of The Night Having effortlessly flowed from rock and blues to pop, the mood suddenly changes. Son of the Night comes in through a door we did not know existed. At first, we feel continuity as Tibetan chants and mountain horns instil a quiet inner mood - like a soft conclusion to the work. You can almost feel the pull of distant planets, as your mind floats into Himalayan serenity. Then the drums, bass and guitar release their fury into the mythical calm. It is as if the powers of meditation have suddenly cracked a cosmic whip - brought you back to the here and now, in the entity of an album that reads like a painted cave. Son of the Night flies like a dragon through dark Tolkeinesque skies. It is the beast of human consciousness, telling us with an inner voice about how much we have achieved - and deceived for ourselves. Ranging from the right to wander wherever we like on this and other planets, to the fact that we barely understand ourselves, this song's lyrics enjoy a pure, unadulterated rock foundation. It is a driven thing - with vigour Vivaldi might use. An unexpected tumultuous end to the album, this is a vehicle for the free voice of the electric guitar, to soar in ways that release and inspire us. From the coarse driven rhythm to the sweeter, haunting lead guitars, we are allowed to experience extremes of emotion. The chaos of the first break sorts itself into patterns we barely understand, creating melody from a myriad notes, showering like sparks from a blade. It's Eastern mystery and promise settle the unrest, just long enough for us to hear the next part of the saga. 'Illuminated views across eternal rivers gleam', it sings, taunting the cowardice our forefathers and some latter-day leaders have shown. Fear of the truth is not just the domain of the wrong-doer, people are often mislead by their good intentions. A second guitar solo is one of the composer's favourite traits. They allow his music to go to higher plains of enjoyment, enforcing the mood of a lyric or riff. The second break in Son of the Night follows a breathy moment of spiritual realisation, where suddenly we can see our potential and our soul screams for it to be realised. This time the guitar has an orgiastic resolve, the sweetness of on old lover revisiting our bosom, the excitement of a new one... Just as the album started with an old familiar feel - like you'd known it all your life - so too it seems it might leave us with a refrain as familiar as our favourite t-shirt. But in the last moment, conscious perhaps that we can be forgetful, an a capella line shouts and hisses vengeance, like something escaped from a horror movie. With that, the album is gone from our speakers, gone from our headphones - gone from the air we breath, yet it remains with us like the feeling we get as we leave a cinema... ...Inspired by heroes, thrilled by beauty, invincible, strong, yet philanthropic. Thanks to Stellar Fire, now we can all feel like super heroes.
