    Have you been considering an extended trip abroad? Are you in the process of planning one already? Travel is an adventure; it can be awe-inspiring, mind-altering, and eye-opening, but also hilarious fun and, at times, really tough. To experience different cultures, meet people from all over the world, take in beautiful sights, and try foods that you'd never imagined in your wildest dreams can be overwhelming in both a good and a bad way. It has been drilled into us by magazines that travel should be glamorous; cocktail in hand and toes dipped in pristine turquoise waters at all times. In truth, I'm sure travel can be like that if you have an unlimited budget! The real country, with all its characteristics and quirks, is just asking to be discovered, but so many people have neither the courage nor aptitude to ever venture out of the safety and comfort of their all-inclusive safe haven. What you will learn from this book: 1. How to travel like a real backpacker. 2. How to save money. 3. How to know when to splurge and when to save. 4. How to plan your trip efficiently. 5. How to find cheap places to sleep. 6. How to not get ripped off in other countries as a foreigner. 7. How to find cheap places to eat. 8. How to party cheap. 9. How to get to places cheap. 10. How to get around cheap. 11. How to see and do cheap stuff without compromising on the fun. 12. How to decide which countries you should go to. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Have you ever walked past a supermarket checkout and noticed the magazines? On so many of the covers, the predominant theme is diet. Diet, diet, diet. Fascinatingly, if you look at the weekly publications, they often have something advertised such as “The Fat Burning Diet! Never count calories again!” All well and good, except that the very next week, the exact same magazine will be advertising “The Best Diet Ever! The Not-Diet-Diet! Scientifically Proved!” Which begs the question - if the first diet is so revolutionary, why do they need to publish a new diet the very next week? Or the next. Or the next. The bottom line is, these diets, whether on magazine covers or on TV advertisements, just don’t work. People might lose briefly on them by avoiding certain foods and depriving themselves of this or that, but not only are these diets painfully slow, frequently their “food plans” taste like cardboard. As a result, people don’t stick to the diets very long and/or quickly have rebound weight gain when they give up and splurge on something that actually tastes like delicious, real food, because it actually is delicious and real. Sous Vide: Sous-vide is a method of cooking in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and then placed in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually one to seven hours, up to 48 or more in some cases) at an accurately regulated temperature. The temperature is much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60°C (131 to 140°F) for meat, higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and to retain moisture. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Bahl.

    The 5:2 fast is one of the easiest and quickest ways for you to lose weight.It works with your body, helping you to burn fat and weight without counting all the calories. It's a diet that works around your schedule. The idea behind this diet plan is that you will pick two days during the week where you will keep your calories low, usually under 500 to 700 for the whole day. As long as these days are not back to back, they can be any day that you would like. Pick a few days during the week when you are usually really busy and it won’t seem so bad. For the other five days of the week, you will be able to eat regular calories. You should be careful about not going overboard, but if you eat a relatively healthy diet, even if you splurge a little bit on these other five days, you will still end up taking fewer calories thanks to those two fast days. It is that simple!The hardest part of this diet plan, and many other diet plans, is finding the right recipes to make it work. You want to lose weight, but if you feel deprived all the time, you will give in to the cravings and never see the results that you want.This is where this guidebook can come in!It will provide you with many satisfying recipes that you are sure to enjoy, all of which can be used for either your feast or your fast days. Some of the recipes that you can try from this guidebook include: Tuna tacosPancakesFrench Toast with RaspberriesBreakfast in a cupBlueberry muffinsStrawberry granolaBread pudding Cheesy SconesChiliAnd so much moreGoing on a diet does not have to be difficult or hard to maintain!Check out the 5:2 fast and some of the delicious recipes in this guidebook, and you will be losing weight without feeling deprived! ungekürzt.

    The battle of the sexes has ended. Women won. Men have been reduced to a subservient position in society, where they can be truly useful and reach their full potential and servants and lovers. What's left of their masculinity has been molded into a quiet and respectful supporting role for their mistresses the world over. Being an obedient beta male is as much as a natural born man could ever hope for. Masculine dominance and aggression does have certain entertainment value for the women who desire it though. It just needed to be distilled into something more controllable. Humanity's most brilliant and forward-thinking scientists created the Alphas, genetically superior male models used for pleasure. They're stronger and more aggressive than the un-enhanced Beta males, and everyone knows it. Some wealthy mistresses are able to afford frequent trips to the Alpha Stables, while others just splurge from time to time. Regardless, once a woman goes to an Alpha, her beta males know that they are obsolete. Being reminded of their inferiority keeps them in line and working as hard as they can to stay useful. When a subservient beta male commits a serious enough infraction such as pleasuring himself or finishing too early he can endure one of the greatest humiliations possible: watching his mistress be pleasured by a superior Alpha model. He’ll never forget his place after that. Humanity is also ready to spread throughout the stars. Led by Commander Strong and a group of female scientists, Earth's first interstellar voyage has begun. The women have all that they'll need on-board. Food, water, and of course some men for entertainment. Beta males are available for menial tasks and to provide the brave explorers with sexual pleasure, but that task occasionally eludes them.In cryo-sleep are several Alphas, men genetically engineered simply to pleasure women. Resented by Betas and coveted by women, these perfect specimens are at the ready to please t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ruby Rivers.

    The summer I graduated from high school, I raced out of my small Virginian town to seek my culinary dreams in the big city. I couldn't afford New York City, though, so I settled in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love wasn't The Big Apple, but it had its charms and pockets of culinary splendor. I hadn't minded because it was only temporary. After culinary school, I planned to do as I'd been dying to do since I was a little girl and roam the earth and splurge on its fruits. More than five years later, I was still in Philly, living with the same roommate I'd had when I had first moved, working as a pastry chef in a bakery across the bridge in New Jersey, and I had Cade. Caden was my on and off again boyfriend of four years. I loved him, even when I hated him. Our relationship was hot and cold, hard and fast, sexy and heartbreaking. It wasn't until I was with Caden that I understood that passion could be just as terrible as it was beautiful. I didn't know until him that passion could make you burn as well as burn you. Being with Caden was like being addicted to thrill-seeking adventures. You know there is a danger in it, and it makes your heart race and adrenaline pump into your body. Sometimes you nail it and the rush is breathtaking and amazing. Sometimes you miss, and there is fear and regret in your heart as you fall to the unforgiving ground. After one particularly hard fall, I went home to Virginia for a long weekend. That was where I became reacquainted with my brother's old college friend Connor. That's when I learned that passion could be a slow, sweet burn. And it could incinerate me and turn me to ashes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julia Farhat.

    Why do our headaches persist after taking a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a 50-cent aspirin? Why does recalling the 10 Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn't possibly be caught? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save 25 cents on a can of soup? Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full? And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar? When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're in control. We think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same types of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to understand the profound effects of our emotions on what we want, and we overvalue what we already own. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable - making us predictably irrational. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, Ariely explains how to break through these systematic patterns of thought to make better decisions. Predictably Irrational will change the way we interact with the world - one small decision at a time.

    One moment you’re calm and everything is alright. Then, a thought hits your head. Perhaps it’s a decision you’re trying to make. Should you splurge on that piece of technology that you really want? Well, it’ll be an investment so it’s worth the money. But you could spend that money on other things.

    I don't expect my family to get it, although there are a few dusty skeletons rattling around the closet about Grammy's wild child days. She's pretty cool for a great-grandma and might understand, but the rest of the Peabodys? Not in a million years. If we had a family crest, the coat of arms would have an egg and sperm with the motto Egredere et multiplica - Go Forth and Multiply. No way am I ready to trade in my Christian Louboutin leather work tote for a diaperbag or bury my La Perla bras and panties under a pile of lululemon yoga pants. I'm having too much fun with my girlfriends and working on becoming the youngest VP at my corporation to give it all up for a walk down the aisle and stretchmarks. But that doesn't mean I can't have my cake and eat it, too. That's where Dexter Bancroft comes in. He's something between a bootycall and a boyfriend. No official commitment, but we see each other on a regular basis. Neither of us is ready for love...but a lovefest that includes strawberries and whipped cream? I'm all over that. Until... Mom and Dad splurge for a weekend in the city and catch me on my walk of shame. Suddenly, Dexter is coming to Sunday dinner, Grammy's eightieth birthday party, and my sister's destination wedding in Italy. My family thinks they have me and Dexter all figured out...but I don't have a clue what's happening between us. How in the world did our situationship go from simple to complicated and why is everyone in my family in in love with Dexter except me? Unless I've been in love with him the entire time... Take a modern young woman, a hot-as-blazes nice guy, a huge meddling family, and you have a situation. The Situtationship is a laugh-out-loud romantic romp with steamy bedroom antics, hilarious banter, closeknit siblings, a racy grandmother, a swoony grand gesture, and a guaranteed HEA that will make you sigh...deeply.
