Craine.Excerpt from the book:"Holy Clover, that fellow would make his fortune in a dairy, all right," exclaimed Bob Caldwell. "His fortune, how do you make that out?" Jim Austin demanded. "I'll bite, let’s have the answer." "He'd do the biting - that one tooth ought to be great to make holes in Swiss cheese!" "If I didn’t need both hands you would get a wallop that would leave you only one tooth, then you could start competition," Austin answered. "Well," he added, "this sure looks as if you will find enough different kinds of vegetation, old Horticulturer, may your tribe increase." "Sure does," replied Bob. "Wonder who dropped that one-toother down in this place." The one-toother was a tall, emaciated, dark-skinned individual whose age was in the neighborhood of two hundred.

    My enthusiasm for Brahms goes back to my youth, and the piano concertos are largely responsible for it, writes Sir András Schiff in a liner note for this remarkable new recording. It finds the great pianist reassessing interpretive approaches to Brahms in the inspired company of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. To fully bring out the characteristics of Brahmss music Schiffs choice of instrument is a Blüthner piano built in Leipzig around 1859, the year in which the D minor concerto was premiered. The historically informed Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment plays with the flexibility, attitude, and responsiveness of a chamber music ensemble, as they work without a conductor, listening attentively to each other. András Schiffs collaboration with the orchestra in a series of concerts was widely acclaimed: Brahmss First Piano Concerto was reborn thanks to the OAEs incisive playing and András Schiffs characterful phrasing, The Guardian exclaimed. The musicians mutual wish to recapture the experience led to the present double album, recorded in London in December 2019. An extensive CD booklet includes liner notes by András Schiff and Peter Gülke in English and German.

    I was settling into bed when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist in a loving fashion. My heart began to race and a lump formed in my throat. Who the hell was in my bed? "Hello darling. I've missed you so much," an unfamiliar voice whispered in my ear. I had no idea who this man's voice was. I slowly turned over to see. I didn't recognize him at all. He had short blond hair with blue eyes and was very attractive. "Who are you?! " We both exclaimed at the same time. "Where's Adam?" He said. "Adam?" I asked. "My name is Johnny." He undid his arms from around my waist. "Are you his new lover?" He asked me. "I have no idea who Adam is and I am the only one who lives here. I moved here about six months ago." I informed him. "But, my key still worked in the door." He said. "The landlord must have not changed the locks on the door." I said. "Oh my god!" He said. "I am so embarrassed." He sat up in bed. "What's your name?" I asked him. "Rich." He replied. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Kyle. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/020678/bk_acx0_020678_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    In 1871, five young girls were sent by the Japanese government to the United States. Their mission: learn Western ways and return to help nurture a new generation of enlightened men to lead Japan. Raised in traditional samurai households during the turmoil of civil war, three of these unusual ambassadors - Sutematsu Yamakawa, Shige Nagai, and Ume Tsuda - grew up as typical American schoolgirls. Upon their arrival in San Francisco, they became celebrities, their travels and traditional clothing exclaimed over by newspapers across the nation. As they learned English and Western customs, their American friends grew to love them for their high spirits and intellectual brilliance. The passionate relationships they formed reveal an intimate world of cross-cultural fascination and connection. Ten years later they returned to Japan - a land grown foreign to them - determined to revolutionize women's education. Based on in-depth archival research in Japan and in the United States, including decades of letters from between the three women and their American host families, Daughters of the Samurai is beautifully, cinematically written, a fascinating lens through which to view an extraordinary historical moment. ungekürzt.

    “Ease up on the make-up, Brenda,” I said, turning my face away. “That’s way too much mascara.” Brenda gently turned my face back to hers. “Will you be still before you make me mess up?” “Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” I asked. I was trying to sit really still but it was hard. I wanted to see what I looked like. I never wore much make-up. I guess I never really needed it. Guys seemed to flock to me anyway without it. I hoped it would be that way this time, too. “Of course I know what I’m doing,” Brenda snapped. “I did Kari’s make-up the last time. And she wasn’t complaining.” I chuckled. “Ok. Ok. I’m sorry. I just don’t want to look like a tramp or something. And I definitely don’t want this guy getting ideas and pawing all over me.” She put the finishing touches on the mascara and stepped back to admire her handiwork. "Damn I’m good," she exclaimed, clapping her hands. "You look hot, mama." "Great,” I said with a frown. Just what I didn’t need. “Can I look now?” Brenda turned the chair so that I was facing the mirror. I barely recognized myself. Wow. I was...hot! “Whatcha think...?” ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The bedroom door flew open with a powerful crash. "What the...?" Mary exclaimed. Mike nodded. "Yeah, well see, that's the problem," he said with a sigh. "You brought someone home with you tonight." "What?" "And it looks like she's not real happy about your relationship with Bradley," he said. "I have a jealous ghost in my house?" Mary asked, astonished. Mike shook his head apologetically. "No, sweetheart," he said. "You have a jealous poltergeist in your home." As if on cue, the drawers in Mary's dresser opened, and her clothing started flying across the room. Mary turned back to Mike. "Really?" she asked. "Like I need this now?" She walked into the center of her bedroom and immediately was hit in the face by a pair of her own underwear. And this time she was sure of it. She heard a giggle, and then suddenly the entire room was filling with swirling clothing. Bradley came running into the room and the ruckus ended. "What happened?" he asked. "I think I just met one of your former girlfriends," Mary said, pulling a pair of underwear from out of her neckline. "And I don't think she was very happy to meet me." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    During one of Catherine of Siena's ecstasies, she exclaimed, referring to St. Agnes of Montepulciano: "I give you thanks oh my Lord, for showing me the place that will be mine (in Paradise), next to my sister Agnes."Who is this saint (virtually unknown in our country) that a powerful saint and doctor of the Church - Catherine of Siena should say this of her?We're about holy clusters again. God is bringing us to Tuscany, once more - ancient Tuscany, filled with a history of the greatest saints and most deplorable sinners. Agnes, one of the great saints, was born in 1268 in a hamlet three miles from Montepulciano, named Gracciano, in the "Villa di Gracciano Vecchio".A Dominican like Catherine, Agnes died in April 20, 1317, 30 years before Catherine of Siena was born. Again, the Church is in crisis. Again, God sends us powerful men and women saints!Agnes was born into the nobility. At age nine, she would ask permission from her parents to enter a monastery of nuns living a very austere life in Montepulciano. They were called Le Suore del Sacco, Sacchine or Sisters of the Sackcloth, because of the coarse material of which their habits were made. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Zoie turned toward her cousin. “Abigail, do you think it would be all right to tell the boys, Lance and Jinx, I mean, why we’re carrying these guns?”Abigail dropped one of her carrots and pointed out at the moon. “Nenuphars!” she exclaimed.“Yes. That’s exactly why...” Zoie didn’t finish. Her eyes followed Abigail’s finger, and she saw ominous silhouettes against the moon. Large creatures of all descriptions were flying in from the south.Without thinking, she jerked the gun from her back and levered a live round into the chamber. The entire group stood with their gaze fixed on the moon and the approaching silhouettes.Zoie leaned against the rail and yelled down to Sheriff Fitzpatrick, who was near the barn entrance. “Sheriff! Look at the moon!”Sheriff Fitzpatrick looked up and grabbed the small handheld microphone mounted on his shoulder and spoke into it.A moment later, the loudspeaker on the patrol cruiser at the main gate came to life. “This is an emergency order from the sheriff. Everyone outdoors must go immediately into Exhibit Barn A. Again! Go into Exhibit Barn A. Carnival personnel, turn off your rides. Turn off all lights except the spotlight truck where the light is pointed toward the sky. Turn off all music." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Holmes Newton.

    It was Halloween night and Jimmy was partying with a gang that he was excited about joining called the Demon Nights gang. There was only one thing that would prove he was worthy of being a part of the Demon Nights gang and Darren who was head of the gang would tell him. "Jimmy you know it's not an easy thing joining our gang," said Darren. "I know, but I want to be somebody and I'm not afraid of any challenge, so come on tell me what it is you want me to do?" asked Jimmy. "Ok, but there is no backing out once I tell you and if you try to back out the only thing you'll be getting is a bullet in the back," explained Darren. "Don't worry I'm up for anything," replied Jimmy. "Here's what I want you to do. Follow me outside," explained Darren. Jimmy and Darrin went outside to Darren's back yard. "See that car over there," said Darren. "Yes! I see it," replied Jimmy. "Get inside and let me know what you think?" asked Darren. Jimmy opened the driver's side door and stepped in and said "Wow! This is a real beauty," exclaimed Jimmy. Darren put his hand on the top off the car and bent over and said "This is where you come in." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ted Brooks.

    A powerful, ground-shifting account of caring for a parent with Alzheimer's, about which Maya Angelou exclaimed, "Joy!" Since Cathie Borrie delivered her keynote performance at the World Alzheimer's Day event sponsored by the Community and Access Programs of the Museum of Modern Art, her self-published manuscript has won rapturous praise from noted writers and Alzheimer's experts alike, from Maya Angelou, Lisa Genova, and Molly Peacock to Dr. Bill Thomas; Jed A. Levine of the Alzheimer's Association, NYC; and Meryl Comer of the Geoffrey Beene Foundation Alzheimer's Initiative. Now it is available to the general public for the first time in a trade edition. The Long Hello distills the seven years the author spent caring for her mother into a pause-resisting memoir that offers insight into the "altering world of the dementia mind". During that time Borrie recorded brief conversations she had with her mother that revealed the transformations within - and sometimes yielded an almost Zen-like poetry. She includes selections from them in chapters about her experience that are as evocative as diary entries. Her mother was the emotional pillar and sometime breadwinner in a home touched by a birth father's alcoholism, a brother's early death, divorce, and a stepfather's remoteness. In Borrie's spare prose, her mother's story becomes a family's story as well a deeply loving portrait that embraces life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jill Tucker, Cathie Borrie.
