A little God time is the most important part of your busy day!This one year daily devotional will encourage mothers of all ages to carve out some God time with the assurance that God is strong when we are weak. Take time out to savor the tender moments with your children. Overflow with gratitude as you reflect on the gift of motherhood. May his joy and peace be yours, embracing the grace and strength he has given you as you endeavor to love your children just as he loves you.Excerpt: "The Perfect Hire" Whether “Mom” is your only title or one of several, the day you became a mother you took on a full-time job with crazy hours, non-existent pay, and inconsistent benefits. Some days, it’s the greatest gift in the world to love and serve our families. On others, we find ourselves wondering: Does this job get any easier? Any better? On those days with more responsibilities than time, more grumbling than gratitude, rest in this: Your employer is not that tantrum-throwing toddler or eye-rolling teenager. God chose you specifically for this family; you were the only candidate for the job, and you are perfectly qualified. You work for him, and he will give you all the support, recognition, and joy you need. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24, NIV). What part of your “work” as a mother is the most difficult for you? Share your struggles with God. Does it help you to remember you are working for him at a job he chose just for you? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathalie Pownall.

Just Me, Hörbuch, Digital, 364min
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to The Two of Us, this is a moving, honest, and charming account of life after John Thaw, read by Sheila herself. "Well now, prove it, Sheila. As John would say, 'Put your money where your mouth is. Be a depressed widow boring the arse off everyone, or get on with life. Your choice.'" In The Two of Us, Sheila relived her life with John Thaw - years packed with love and family, delight and despair. And then she looked ahead. What next? Gardening, grannying and grumbling, while they all had their pleasures, weren't going to fill the aching void that John had left. "Live adventurously", a Quaker advice, was hovering around her brain. Putting her and John's much loved house in France on the market, she embarked on a series of journeys. She tried holidaying alone, contending with invisibility and budget flights. She tried travelling in a group, but the questions she wanted to ask were never the ones the guide wanted to answer. She tried relaxing - harder than you might think. Finally, heading out of her comfort zone, she found her travels, and the things she discovered, led her back to her past; to consider her generation - the last to experience the Second World War - and the kind of person it made her. Just Me is a book about moving on, but it is also about looking back, and looking anew. Sheila, whether facing down burglars and Easyjet staff or making friends with waiters and taxi drivers, whether unearthing secrets in Budapest, getting arrested in Thailand, exulting in the art of Venice or searching for a decent cup of coffee in Dorset, is never less than stimulating company. Honest - because if you can't say what you think at 73, when can you? - insightful and wonderfully down to earth, she is a woman seizing the future with wit, gusto and curiosity, on her own.

Everything Is Awful: And Other Observations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
From the break-out star of BuzzFeed and the People's Choice Award-winning comedian behind the web series Whine About It and To Be Honest comes a collection of hilariously anguished essays chronicling awful moments from his life so far, the humiliations of being an adult, and other little indignities. Matt Bellassai has no idea what he's doing. Well, to be fair, he did become semi-Internet famous by getting drunk at work, making him a socially-acceptable - nay - professional alcoholic. He's got some things figured out. But the rest is all just a terrible, disgusting mess. This is Matt's book. Just to clarify, though, it is absolutely not a memoir; Matt is far too young to have done anything worth remembering (though he did win an actual People's Choice Award for his BuzzFeed web series, Whine About It, which is pretty good, if you ask his mother). This is also most certainly not a book of advice; he is too woefully ill-prepared for life to offer anything in the way of counsel (though that won't stop him from talking). Call this a collection of awful moments that led to his grumbling, blundering adulthood - a chronicle of little indignities that, when taken together, amount to a life of hilarious anguish. With keen wit and plenty of self-deprecation, Matt reveals how hard it is to shed his past as the Midwest's biggest nerd, that one time a taquito nearly murdered him at his brother's surprise birthday party, and the time he came out to his friends and family (the closet was a bit messy). Matt also wrestles with the humiliations of adulthood, like giving up on love in New York City, living alone with no one to heat his microwave dinners, and combating the inner voice that tells him to say aloud all the things the rest of us are smart enough to keep to ourselves. You probably don't need this book, but, let's be honest - you do. Since you're already here, you might as well pull up a chair, grab your glass(es) of wi ungekürzt. Language: English.

Pulse of An Irishman: Irish & Scottish Songs Arranged by Beethoven
Early in the nineteenth century, George Thomson was concerned that the traditional songs of the British Isles were being lost. In an effort to preserve them, he commissioned arrangements from the finest composers of his time, including Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven tackled the commission enthusiastically, although not without some grumbling regarding his fee. This new recording offers a selection of these entertaining and unjustly neglected pieces. All songs are performed in English, as intended by Beethoven and are accompanied with piano, violin and cello. The Pulse of an Irishman features singers Steven Stull, Timothy LeFebvre, Kimberly LaGraff, Linda Larson and Todd Geer, accompanied by violinist Brian Brooks, cellist Laura Kramer and pianist Kathy Hansen. REVIEW: 'Celtic folk tunes with a classical flavor? Sounds like another crossover marketing ploy, but back in 1809 they didn't have to hire a hack arranger to reconstruct how Auld Lang Syne would have sounded had Beethoven written it. They could get Beethoven himself. In all, Beethoven arranged over 180 Irish, Welsh and Scottish songs, 21 of which have been included on this new release featuring five of the Southern Tier's best and brightest young singers. Steven Stull, Kimberly LaGraff, Timothy LeFebvre, Linda Larson and Todd Geer have become familiar figures on the stages of the Ithaca, Tri-Cities and Syracuse Operas and are versatile enough to be a welcome presence in the Broadway repertory. It's the combination of strong classical technique combined with ease and naturalness of expression that make this disc such a pleasure to listen to. Steve and Timothy blend hauntingly in the wistful Farewell Bliss and Farewell Nancy, Todd adds his verve to the charming Sally in Our Alley (my personal favorite), Linda sings sensitively about Faithfu' Johnie, and the whole group joins on an uptempo version of Auld Lang Syne, a sprightly alternative to what one usually hears on New Year's Eve. The instrumental accompaniment, played by pianist Kathy Hansen, violinist Brian Brooks and cellist Laura Kramer, bears the clear imprint of Beethoven's personality. This disc will fill a gap in the Beethoven discographies of most classical listeners, and Celtophiles may also find that these alternative takes on the traditional tunes are, like Sally, right up their alley.' The Ithaca Times REVIEW: 'On commission from a publisher in the British Isles, Beethoven wrote more than 150 folksong settings, here are twenty-one. Far more than hackwork, his arrangements rank with latter-day settings by Bartok, Kodaly and Britten. A delightful touch is the scoring for piano trio, written at a level that would be negotiable at home. This CD benefits from fresh, youthful, unpretentious singing. The [five] soloists also do some ensemble turns, and their accompanists, if somewhat recessively recorded, dispatch the music smartly.' Opera News.- Shop: odax

Tera-Musika
The Victory Brass are ambassadors of brass chamber music. We didn't start out that way... Most of us had gone to school together and had not experienced enough chamber music for our liking. After grumbling about our lot in life for some time, it finally occurred to us that there were enough of us to form a group. We unanimously agreed that we wanted the group to be entertaining and innovative while educating our audiences in the history and future of brass chamber music. Through this mission the Victory Brass has quickly risen to become one of Kentucky's premier brass ensembles.- Shop: odax

Decimus 7
Bedrohliche Atmosphären, seltsame Melodien, Doppler Effekt-Drones, zermatschte 4/4 Beats... wie eine unseelige Koop zwischen Zoviet*France und Severed Heads.Bedrohliche Atmosphären, seltsame Melodien, Doppler Effekt-Drones, zermatschte 4/4 Beats... wie eine unseelige Koop zwischen Zoviet*France und Severed Heads.Neuester Release von Pat Muranos Decimus Projekt, ist Teil einer 12-teiligen LP-Serie, die den Tierkreiszeichen des spätantiken Decimus Magnus Ausonious gewidmet ist. How do you deal with the world's nightmarish montage of bad news, the glut of information that triggers feelings of futility and insanity? One way to cope is to plunge deeper into the madness, at least temporarily, for a dip into the healing pool of catharsis. Few people in music today provide a more immersive alternate reality on record to combat our own horrible one than Decimus (former No-Neck Blues Band guitarist/synth player Pat Murano). Musical categories dissolve in the mind as you try to ascertain what's going on in Decimus' sonic universe. As with some of the most advanced and individualistic musicians on the planet (Coil, Demdike Stare, Mnemonists, Nurse With Wound), Murano instinctively generates sounds that appear to bypass normal listening responses and flow directly to the subconscious. Deep immersion in Decimus 7 leads the listener to a disturbing, mind-altering realm. Every aspect of these two epic sidelong pieces feels as if it's controlled by a malevolent super-being hellbent on subverting conventional notions of music. The A side's untitled track sounds like an alien transmission trying to fight through static and command your soul. Grossly distorted Chrome-like grumbling and icy synth motifs waft over artfully spluttering drum-machine beats, establishing a disorienting, unsettling tone. With alchemical zeal, Murano fills the stereo field with perilous atmospheres, warped, distant melodies, Doppler Effected drones, and bleating percussion. When he brings in a trudging, sludgy 4/4 beat wreathed in mysterious mumbles and aural effluvia, it's like an unlikely collaboration between :zoviet*france: and Severed Heads.
