Obama's Last Stand: Playbook 2012 (POLITICO Inside Election 2012) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
A series of audiobooks on the 2012 presidential election, Politico's Playbook 2012 provides an unprecedented real-time account of the race for the White House. The third edition, Obama's Last Stand, follows the reelection campaign of President Barack Obama as it struggles to find a winning formula in a political landscape that has changed dramatically since his history-making victory in 2008. Though battered and bruised after nearly four years in office, Barack Obama remains the most competitive player on the field in American politics today. In Obama's Last Stand, Politico White House correspondent Glenn Thrush chronicles the efforts of the president and his team to secure a second term in the face of a determined opposition, unfavorable economic headwinds, and a series of missteps by his own team. This is a revealing portrait of the president at the most precarious moment in his political life, with insights and anecdotes drawn straight from the notebook of one of the most perceptive reporters in America. The trash-talking schoolyard athlete in Obama is very much in evidence, especially when he speaks caustically about his Republican rivals, including the man he thinks is trying to steal his legacy, Mitt Romney. Yet apart from Romney and the uncertain economy, Obama's greatest obstacle on the road to reelection may be Obama 2008. He and his team of talented advisers must try to reconcile their nostalgia for that once-in-a-lifetime campaign with the realities of an election fundamentally altered by the advent of super PACs and the evaporation of Obama's superstar popularity. That challenge has led a campaign operation that once prided itself on flawless execution of strategy to commit several of the most dangerous unforced errors of Obama's political career. Yet the game is far from over. If Obama is sometimes his own worst enemy, he also has the talent and drive to reclaim this race. Spurred on by the realistic p ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Road Less Stupid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 692min
Smart people do dumb things. Here's the proof: How much money would you have right now if I gave you the ability to unwind any three financial decisions you have ever made? Years ago, after suffering a humiliatingly large dumb tax, it dawned on me that I have a seemingly unlimited ability to hit unforced errors and sabotage my business and financial success. I suspect you do, too. It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. I don't need to do more smart things. I just need to make fewer dumb mistakes. The vast majority of our dumb tax is a direct result of emotional, overly optimistic, and poorly thought out decisions. Every one of those three decisions you would love to unwind was an avoidable mistake. Thinking is critical to sustainable success in business; said another way, business is an intellectual sport. The principles and structure suggested in The Road Less Stupid will enable anyone, regardless of the size of the business, the currency, or the industry, to run their business more effectively, make more money, and dramatically increase the likelihood of keeping that money. It all hinges on Thinking Time. This is a business book for business listeners who want to learn the principles and strategies of making great decisions and minimizing risk. The structure of Thinking Time will enable you to minimize reacting emotionally and defaulting to the most obvious "best idea" available in the moment. The series of short chapters and subsequent Thinking Time questions are designed to maximize clarity and create better choices...either of which will result in fewer stupid mistakes. This is the real "secret": The chance of success goes up when you think, plan, consistently execute the right things, and worry about the possibility of loss. Here it is on a bumper sticker: Operators react and sweat. Owners think and plan. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Keith J. Cunningham.

Rhythms of Grace: Discovering God's Tempo for Your Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
Life is not a sprint; it's a marathon. These well-known words of wisdom remind us to pace ourselves in the journey of life so we reach the finish line with no regrets. Pacing yourself is not as easy as it sounds. Life tends to take on a pace of its own which when left unchecked, will drive us toward burnout and fatigue. We can easily become driven by care, worry, and ambition rather than led by the Holy Spirit. We may tend to think of burnout as a modern problem, but we can see that people in Jesus' day felt their own kind of spiritual and emotional fatigue. Why else would Jesus have said these comforting words? Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly (Matt. 11:28-30; The Message). Even though he spoke these words more than two millennia ago, Jesus' call to rest and peace seem tailor-made to fit this generation. Author Kerri Weems had let the pace and rhythm of her life get out of control. At first the consequences were only physical, but they quickly impacted her spiritual life. Since then, God has been teaching her to walk in time with him; he is teaching her to be led rather than driven. In this audiobook, she opens up her life and shares this journey with the listener. God's best for each of us is that we go the full distance of our race, and not just crawl exhausted across the finish line. God wants us to enjoy the race and cross the line with our heads held high, a smile on our faces, and our arms lifted in a double fist-punch! Getting to that moment is all about learning the rhythms of grace and pacing ourselves for the long run. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charity Spencer.

Testify!
Rocky Jackson - Testify! (High Life Records) Though a proud son of the Lone Star state that has produced an extraordinary number of blazing guitar slingers, Rocky Jackson goes to the heart of the blues where the seductive groove and emotional expression meet like "the Southern crossing the dog." On his new CD he digs into the deep mojo of the southwest as well as Chicago and the Delta, and the result is a rare treat for the body and soul. Of course, "T" for Texas also stands for "tone" and Jackson has it pouring out of his guitar like boiling molasses. Ernest W. "Rocky" Jackson III was born May 29, 1947 in Austin, Texas. Completely self-taught, he started playing bottleneck and lap steel in the sixties after seeing Hound Dog Taylor perform. Surprisingly, a move to L.A. in the seventies allowed him the chance to play more straight ahead blues on the active Southern California scene. From 1980-88 he was a member of the Magic Blues Band that backed many blues luminaries, including George "Harmonica" Smith, Paul Butterfield and Coco Montoya. He cut Blue Streak as a trio and following the recording of Squeeze Here in 2006, Jackson recruited the backing band for live performances. He opens his 13-song set of covers and originals with a dark version of Muddy Waters' "I Just Want to Make Love to You," making it a hypnotic incantation of raw carnality inflamed by his stinging lead licks. His original "Big Legs Don't Mean Fat" follows with a jaunty shuffle and wry lyric content that declaims, "Those fine long legs, man, is where it's at." "Voodoo Spell" gets all funky with a spooky guitar/bass unison lick contributed by guest bassist Hank Van Sickle that is driven forward by the fatback drumming of Eliot Witherspoon. Visiting primary roots, Jackson offers his creative take on the Robert Johnson classic "Stop Breakin' Down." With harmonicist Michael Fell filling and soloing on his "Mississippi saxophone," Jackson sings with controlled passion that perfectly complements his razor sharp slide accompaniment. A pilgrimage to the West Side of Chicago produces the minor key "Like Magic" that pays homage to Magic Sam. A musical spell is cast on the saucy, slow blues instrumental with Fell's warbling harp and Jackson's rhythm guitar before the leader opens up with a solo of uncompromising lyricism. "I Wanna Testify (About My Baby)" shuffles in with a swinging, finger-snapping bounce given buoyancy by bassist Joel T. Johnson as Jackson extols the virtues of his woman. As opposed to many of his contemporaries, he sings the blues with unforced authenticity that is totally convincing. John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson's "Early in the Morning" finds Jackson and Fell dueting like a modern day Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. Powered by a churning bass string riff, the tune subtly rocks as it sets a flexible foundation from which Jackson soars and Fell explores the upper range of his harmonica. Without breaking stride the band transitions smoothly into the epic, heavyweight slow blues of "Shoulda Never Left Texas" featuring an extended, smoldering intro and two devastating solos from Jackson. The centerpiece of the disk and a vocal and instrumental showcase, it is a jaw-dropper that will have aspiring blues guitarists scurrying to the woodshed. Jackson's voice drips with world-weary resignation as he defiantly responds to his "blues" by screaming and crying through his axe. "Chicken-Legged Woman" is a dynamic change of pace as Jackson overdubs two acoustic guitar parts, strutting his Dobro slide chops with unquestioned authority. Jimmy Reed's obscure tribute to Sonny Boy Williamson, "Don't Say Nothin'," has the band locking into the chugging boogie shuffle rhythm with conviction and power. Jackson then strikes a potent electric country blues stance on his "In the Doghouse Now" with appropriate imagery intensified by his guitar doubling the vocal hook. Keeping his set percolating "down in the alley," he next proffers a dead on, greasy version of Waters' classic "Long Distance Call" with nasty, snaky slide and a raw, shimmering harp solo from Fell. Apropos of a record that tells it like it is, the closing track, "L.A. to Austin" spins an autobiographical story that is both literal and symbolic of Jackson's return to his home state. Musically it is also his tribute to Hound Dog Taylor as he rips and runs on the electric slide with lusty abandon. B.B. King once said, "The blues are simple, anyone can play them, but would you want to hear anyone play them?" It should be added that it is not simple to come up with a recognizable signature sound and delivery, but Rocky Jackson is well on his way. Anyone who has caught his explosive live show or hears this record will certainly "testify" to that fact. Dave Rubin Staff Writer Guitar Edge Magazine.- Shop: odax

Apprentice
The Apprentice is an indie/ folk rock band from the U.S.A. The three members of The Apprentice Matt Helfrich, Matt Jenkins, and Eric DeLong are joined together by music despite living in three different states (IN, KY, WV). The new self-titled album is the band's fourth release on Future Destination Records. This album represents a new start and is by far the most collaborative effort out of the bands discography. To further the change it is also intensely personal both sonically, and lyrically. The band entered 3 Elliot Studios on May 6 to record with a new producer/engineer named Josh Antonnucio. Many of the tracks were recorded live, another new experience for the band. What came out was a beautifully orchestrated album of unforced expression covering faith, murder, heartbreak, and hope.- Shop: odax
