The Lynching: The Epic Courtroom Battle That Brought Down the Klan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
The New York Times best-selling author of The Kennedy Women chronicles the powerful and spellbinding true story of a brutal race-based killing in 1981 and subsequent trials that undid one of the most pernicious organizations in American history - the Ku Klux Klan. On a Friday night in March 1981, Henry Hays and James Knowles scoured the streets of Mobile in their car, hunting for a black man. The young men were members of Klavern 900 of the United Klans of America. They were seeking to retaliate after a largely black jury could not reach a verdict in a trial involving a black man accused of the murder of a white man. The two Klansmen found 19-year-old Michael Donald walking home alone. Hays and Knowles abducted him, beat him, cut his throat, and left his body hanging from a tree branch in a racially mixed residential neighborhood. Arrested, charged, and convicted, Hays was sentenced to death - the first time in more than half a century that the state of Alabama sentenced a white man to death for killing a black man. On behalf of Michael's grieving mother, legendary civil rights lawyer and cofounder of the Southern Poverty Law Center Morris Dees filed a civil suit against the members of the local Klan unit involved and the UKA, the largest Klan organization. Charging them with conspiracy, Dees put the Klan on trial, resulting in a verdict that would level a deadly blow to its organization. Based on numerous interviews and extensive archival research, The Lynching brings to life two dramatic trials, during which the Alabama Klan's motives and philosophy were exposed for the evil they represent. In addition to telling a gripping and consequential story, Laurence Leamer chronicles the KKK and its activities in the second half the 20th century and illuminates its lingering effect on race relations in America today. ungekürzt.

Dial "L" for Lesbian and "P" for Pain, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min, (USK 18)
I was wearing a mini skirt with a tight blouse, a white lace bra and matching white lace panties. I undid my skirt and dropped it to the floor. I unbuttoned my blouse and it also fell to the floor. I was standing in my bra and panties and heels. Victoria then reached over and in an almost robotic manner took off my bra and threw it to the floor, and pulled my panties down to my ankles and had me kick them off, landing to the right of me on the floor next to my other clothes. I felt completely vulnerable and exposed as I stood before her naked. I knew Victoria loved me feeling this way, which is probably why she had me do it in the first place as soon as I stepped foot inside her house. She turned me around and pulled the belt she had on around her waist off and tied it around my wrists behind my back. Then, she picked up a ball gag from the nearby table and forced it into my mouth and fastened it behind my head. Victoria then walked me over to a small door under her stairway, grabbed me from behind my head and took a handful of my hair and threw me through the small doorway. I landed on my hands and knees in the dark and pleaded with her as she closed the door and locked it with only me inside the dark small room. It was silent. I then heard her heels clacking again on the hardwood floor as she walked to the front door, opened it, closed it and locked it behind her. Then I heard her start her car and minutes later, drive away. So, here I was naked, bound and gagged locked in a dark little room all alone. I was terrified. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Space Girls Are Easy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min, (USK 18)
Scout Lieutenant Shaydra den'Kurona was trying to escape the stifling responsibilities of her homeworld. But a quick stop on an out-of-the way planet brought her face-to-face with her own desires.Mark Paxton was stuck in a dead-end job in a small town. But one night a starship landed next to him. Now a sexy alien is living with him. One magic night he will find out that space girls are easy!~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~They didn’t quite fall into each others’ arms when the door to his bedroom closed behind them. It was more like a mutual tackle; fierce and almost violent. Shayla climbed him like a tree, her arms wrapping around his neck, and she kissed him, kissed him hard, her tongue forcing itself between his lips and searching his out. When they met, it was as if a jolt of electricity coursed through their paired bodies. He groaned, opening his mouth wide, his hands clutching the curves of her rear.“The bed,” he panted. “On the bed. If we keep this up, we’ll fall down, and I’ll be damned if I make love to you on a hardwood floor.”He staggered over to the bed and fell backwards onto it, cushioning her fall with his body. For a second she simply lay on his chest, enjoying the feel of his strong body under hers. But after a moment she slithered higher, then sat up on her heels. Catching his eye, she raised her hands to the shirt-cord, tied in a low knot just above her breasts. Moving slowly, she undid the knot, then pulled the cord out of the lace-holes, one at a time, until her shirt was hanging open, barely hiding her chest.As she teased him, he put his hands on her hips, his thumbs stroking the flat planes of her stomach. When the garment was finally undone, she slipped it off, eyes shining with pride as she watched his face change.His hand curved up her back, then settled bare inches away from her breast. She swallowed at the heat of his touch. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aiden Black. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/127812/bk_acx0_127812_sample.mp3.

All Wound Up
About the CD: This CD was made possible Christmas 2008 when Tommy's wife, Mary Mayes, gave him one day at Full Moon Studio (Watkinsville, GA) as a gift. After months of procrastinating, scheduling issues and careful consideration about what direction the CD should take, a recording date was finally set for Sunday in August 9, 2009. It helped that Antoon Speters was leaving for four months in the Netherlands the next day and this was the last possible chance for recording if we wanted the CDs by Christmas 2009. All the recording was done live on that one day - all 11 tunes - six musicians sitting in a circle of microphones and wires. We did no overdubs and no more than three takes on any of the tunes. The resulting CD is fresh and energetic, and like a photograph, truly reflects a moment in time. All the musical interactions are captured and kept, rather than edited out. Collectively, we bring a scary number of years of playing to this CD and enough genres and preferences that it is a wonder we can play together at all. In the end though, we have a common love of this music and are addicted to the feeling of the shared energy generated when we play and perform. In alphabetical order, we are Dick Daniels (make that Dr. Richard F. Daniels, professor at the Warnell School of Forestry, UGA) is an incredible musician who has at one time or another played with virtually every bluegrass and old time band in this town and several others. He has the uncanny ability take his bass onto a stage with virtually anyone, anytime, and intuitively pick up their music - making them sound ten times better. He has been an integral part of String Theory since he came he came to Athens in the late 1990s. On All Wound Up he is playing mandolin, bass and singing, although he also could just as easily have been playing guitar. Ben Jordan was born with the music already installed. Not yet twenty, he plays electric and acoustic guitar, electric and upright bass, bluegrass banjo and drums with the skill, ability, and musicality of many much more experienced than he. He brings drive, energy and rock solid rhythm to String Theory's music. In his other life, he is an aspiring glass artist. Tommy Jordan (Dr. Thomas R. Jordan, associate director of the Center for the Remote Sensing and Mapping Science at the University of Georgia) is a former music major, waiter, and rock musician, turned scientist and folk musician. Since moving to Athens in 1976, he has been an active part of the Athens music scene and is proud of it. Tommy is known as a keeper of songs and can, more or less instantly, recall the chords and melody of an amazing library of folk, rock, and old time tunes. A founding member and often front man for String Theory, Tommy plays guitar, old time banjo, and octave mandolin and sings on All Wound Up. Antoon Speters brings many years of professional musical experience to String Theory, of which he was a founding member as the mandolin player in 1992 and then officially rejoined the band on banjo a few years ago. He also plays with the North Georgia Bluegrass Band and two Irish bands, Green Flag and Short Road Home. Though Antoon seemingly can pick up and play anything with strings, on All Wound Up he confines himself to banjo and singing. Antoon is an accomplished painter with an art degree from UGA. Susan Staley wears many musical hats, including being one of the three Solstice Sisters, a popular vocal group based in Athens. The newest member of String Theory, she plays a strong rhythm guitar, drums on the beat box and sings her heart out on lead and harmony vocals. Susan is active in the local folk music scene, organizing a monthly folk music concert called the Hoot for the Athens Folk Music and Dance Society. By trade, Susan is a stained glass artist, making treasure boxes and jewelry that she sells through her business, Glass Treasures. Dale Wechsler is a recovering classical violinist who saw the light and learned old-time and Irish fiddle. She plays with a pulse that makes the audience want to get up and move. Dale finds time after her day job with the University System Board of Regents to play in several local bands in addition to String Theory, including the Garnet River Gals and Short Road Home. She and her husband, Todd Lister, own Veribest Farms, an organic produce and flower business. About the Cover: Mary Mayes's ancestors ran a small general store in rural North Georgia from the early 1900s to the mid 1980s. A long time ago, packages that were shipped were stitched closed at the top with string. If you undid the end of said string just so, you could unravel it, and save it for later. After all, you never knew when you might need a bit of string. Over the years, the string that came into the store was wound up, bit by bit, into a ball. Hence the ball shown on the cover of All Wound Up. You can come up with the appropriate metaphors all by yourself. For the photo, this heirloom ball of string was placed upon an old tongue-and- groove meal box (from the same rural Georgia family homeplace) kept because of the precious memories it evokes, much like the old time music on this CD. Comments from listeners: 'Not only does your CD not suck, it like, totally doesn't suck.' 'I've just GOT to tell you how much I enjoyed String Theory last night at the Melting Point. The music was beautifully performed, tune after tune, but the really great discovery for me has been the CD, which I bought after the show. The sound is brilliant (I can hear EVERYBODY!)' 'I just gave your CD a listen - it's beautiful - it's really fantastic ...' 'I can't believe how good the String Theory CD based on you telling me you recorded it in one day. I just don't see how that was possible. '- Shop: odax
