    A Choice of Treasons , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1301min
    Gripping, fast-moving military science fiction starring the hero of Of Treasons Born. As a lifer in the Imperial Navy, fighting in a war that has lasted generations, Lieutenant York Ballin's only hope for an honorable discharge is the grave. Neither the Empire nor the Directorate seems to care that millions have died or that millions more are doomed as hostilities continue. Ballin's only option is to hunker down, keep his crewmen and women in top condition, and try not to get them all killed. But matters take a turn for the worse when he's forced to hijack the cruiser Cinesstar in order to evacuate the empress, her daughter, and the imperial embassy just before the planet Dumark falls to the enemy. Now, deep behind enemy lines, aboard a ship without a trained crew and commanded by an incompetent nobleman, it becomes clear to Ballin that the empress has a dangerous agenda - so dangerous it threatens the power structures of both the Empire and the Directorate. Now even their comrades in the Empire are hell-bent on turning Cinesstar into a cloud of radioactive vapor. It falls to Lieutenant Ballin to save them all, but every option leads to a quandary - and he finds himself faced with a choice of treasons. A Choice of Treasons is part of J. L. Doty's Treasons Cycle, which also includes Of Treasons Born, the story of York Ballin's reluctant enlistment in the Imperial Navy, his loyalty to his friends, and his doubts regarding the imperial uniform he once wore with great pride. ungekürzt.

    Polarized! The Case for Civility in the Time of Trump: An Experiment in Civil Discourse on Facebook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min
    In a culture of outrage and siloing, social media is the go-to place to attack and to hide. Users rant and vent, and they huddle in like-minded silos. Social media encourages impulsive and angry responses to tweets or posts that irritate us. It also allows us to avoid challenges to our conventional wisdom. We can block, unfriend, and hunker down in private groups. Social media has so far aggravated, rather than helped to cure, ideological polarization and partisanship. Is there a higher and better use?  Facebook is the largest forum in the history of humankind for free and open communication among citizens. It can be used to engage in meaningful conversations about important political, social, and economic issues. The choice is ours to make.  As is demonstrated in Jeff Rasley's latest book, “regular folks” can use their social networks for civil discussion and debate, and then for positive political action. Or, they can follow the lead of President Trump to tweet insults and ridicule political opponents. Who do we want to be as a nation?  The Case for Civility exposes the causes and effects of hyper-partisanship. It offers a "modest proposal" to treat the symptoms of toxic polarization using social media. An experiment in Facebook based on the values of civility, tolerance, pragmatism, and moderation proves there is a cure.  Rasley is the author of nine other books, including Godless - Living a Valuable Life Beyond Beliefs and Bringing Progress to Paradise, a memoir about adventure and philanthropy in the Nepal Himalayas. ungekürzt.

    My New Brother-in-Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 156min, (USK 18)
    Josh met Drew for the first time at his sister's wedding to the 27-year-old marine. The 18-year-old Josh, a college freshman, is on Christmas break and offers to help Drew move his belongings from Denver to San Diego. It is the dead of winter, and the two young men find themselves stranded by a blizzard while crossing the Rockies. They are fortunate enough to make it to an old motel where they are welcomed by Molly, the motel's elderly owner; they secure the last available room.Learning that the mountain highway has been closed in both directions and will be for at least three days, the marine and college boy can only hunker down and make the most of it. The storm eventually takes out the power, and as the thermostat in the old room plummets, Drew shares how he and his marine buddy, Nelson, once survived a frigid night in a cave at the mercy of Afghanistan's arctic-like mountains.Reluctantly, Josh decides sleeping essentially naked in the marine's military sleeping bag next to the bona fide stud, probably beats freezing to death.Being stuck in a blizzard with a new relative can breed familiarity or possibly contempt.This is a fun and romantic story about coming to terms with a new and perhaps unusual lifestyle. The story does not end with a cliffhanger but rather a sweet HEA. This short 30,000-word novella is not meant for anyone under 18 years of age, nor is it intended for adults who are offended by detailed male-to-male sex or a bisexual lifestyle.Note: This book was previously published under the same title. This second edition has been updated with an augmented ending to enhance listener enjoyment; also, many grammatical errors have been corrected and some syntactic structure reworded. ungekürzt.

    Switchword Manifestation: Learn an Advanced Technique to Switchword Manifestation: Switchwords Series, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
    Can an affirmative question make Switchwords more powerful? Switchwords are straightforward and easy to use. Switchwords are simply words that "Switch" on your subconscious mind; sort of like switching on a light. They are, in many ways, one word affirmations. But unlike the conventional affirmations that don't work, these one word miracles do. When coupled with affirmative questions, Switchwords become even more powerful. Why do affirmative questions and Switchwords work so well together? (From Chapter 5: "Both bypass the subconscious mind's tendency to entrench your habits and life circumstances. When you use them together they work synergistically; the questions prime your mind to find an answer and the Switchwords give the questions that extra push through the caverns of the subconscious mind and eventually into your life experience. ...You will find that your mind will shift. You will feel something is different. That feeling is good... "The old habits start to slowly crumble but without making the subconscious mind hunker down. In many ways the affirmative questions and the Switchwords are like mini cells infiltrating your bad habits. Once your subconscious mind realizes what is happening, the old habits are replaced by new and better ones. It might seem like this is a way to trick the subconscious mind. It isn't so much a trick as simply dealing with it the way it understands. It is a habit machine and it has certain rules. If you approach it with the wrong set of tools, or in the wrong way, it will backfire on you. Same with a plane, if you handle the throttle as you would a gear shift on a car you would be in for one hell of a flight. Questions and Switchwords are the right tools for the job. ") Switchword Manifestation will teach you everything you need to know about how to use these amazing modalities together to create amazing results. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Are You in Kid?
    Hifi Mojo's "Are You In, Kid?" is the creation of veteran Portland drummer and singer Marty Henninger. Started as a project to show his kids a person can make and sell their own music, his music takes a semi-autobiographical view of his experiences in the last decade. By turns serious and humorous, he delved into blues, rhythm and blues, jazz and gospel to write a collection of songs that described life in middle America in the first decade of the 21st century. From the anger in "Smoke and Mirrors" and "Two Paychecks from the Street", the humor in "Lost your Place" or the poignancy of "Hunker Down "or "Last Time I Saw Phil", Hifi Mojo mixes the rich soil of American music to reflect on a middle class slowly being destroyed by greed and stupidity. As Marty said, "This is about peoples' lives in America now. We're in a poker game playing against a house full of wealth and power, but who deals from a stacked deck. We're playing for our way of life." The stakes couldn't be higher. Are you in, kid? The Songs: Smoke and Mirrors: An update of a field holler about the problems, Acapella vocals replete with symphony of shovels, hammers and crowbars. I like tools. Recorded and mixed by Shins engineer Sean Flora Refuge in the Blues: A broken relationship to the soundtrack of old scratchy Chess sides. Lead guitar solos by the fiery and indominatable Jim Mesi. Walkin' into Wheeler: Love and happiness to a jumpin' New Orleans 2-beat parade shuffle. Portland-born slide guitarist Gaddis Cavenah shows his quality! Hunker Down: A moody rumination on the 2004 presidential election, but whose words also echo the desolation after hurricane Katrina one year later. The rain never stops. More atmospherics by Sean Flora. Great slide work by guitarist Gaddis Cavenah. Barcode: Second-line funk and horns propel a bouncy little tune about the 'mark of the beast.' The legendary Fats Domino's tenor saxophone player Reggie Houston turns in a couple of gutsy solos. Wind Turns Blue: A bluesy ballad with piano by engineer Ron Rogers sounding like Floyd Cramer strained through a Professor Longhair blender. Ron's next door neighbor Claes Amroth plays harp. The theme is tried and true blues. Sometimes a guy can't do nothin' right. Lost Your Place: A steamy Slim Harpo-like swamper about love lost and found again. Sometimes living in a small town has it's advantages. More funky harp by Claes (pronounced Klaus) Nowhere to Go: A late night jazz-tinged blues about those years when everything seems to go wrong. In this case, 2001 sucked. Ditto 2002. Smoky, Hammond B-3 arrangement by Ben Partain. Reggie Houston lights it up again on tenor. Two Paychecks From the Street: A heartfelt minor blues about the slow collapse of the American Dream as told by the people who lived it, while I was doing a crappy little collections job for a mega-bank. Gaddis on slide and Ben Partain on B-3 burn it to the ground. Last Time I Saw Phil: A gospel-flavored farewell to a much-loved bassist, friend and fellow traveler, Phil Haxton. I wrote this the night before his memorial service. Recorded live in Gaddis' basement, the first song Hifi Mojo ever recorded. Ben plays the B-3 and kicks bass, while Gaddis plays some sweet slide. Smokin': A big, wide, uptown shuffle about...well, adult themes. Horns by Peter Moss and Steve Cameron.
