Everything I Loved More: True Tales of Rocks and Rails , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
A roller-coaster collection of true short stories that follow a young man searching for sincere adventure along the tops of freight trains and mountain ranges. The danger can be nausea-inducing while he hangs on a single flexing hold of sandstone hundreds of feet off the ground or attempts to skirt the sexual advances of a meth-smoking trucker while hitchhiking through the middle of nowhere. Between the many gripping scenes, his debasing humor acknowledges the foolishness in the romance of it all.Beyond each singular exciting and hapless adventure, an important journey is told between the tales, one of a young man attempting to combat his mental health problems with a potent dose of recklessness...and just how well it almost works. ungekürzt.

How to Learn and Have Fun with Brain Teasers and Trick Questions: For Smart Kids from 9 to 11 Years Old , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 192min
Are you looking to help your child learn more and exercise their brain in ways that their usual pastimes may not? Do you and your child enjoy brain teasers?If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you will want to keep reading.Brain teasers and trick questions are a great way to work your brain to make it sharp and keep it sharp. Not only do they make you think and work your brain in unique ways, they are fun to do. Some are short and sweet, but others have long stories to them, which makes them even more enjoyable.On a daily basis, the brain does way more than we give it credit for. It is in control of pretty much everything we do. If the brain isn’t healthy, then the rest of you will struggle to be healthy. Brain games, like the ones you will find in this book, are beneficial to warding off age-related memory problems.While this book is aimed at nine- to 11-year-olds, it stills helps their brains much in the same way, and who’s to say that adults can’t have fun with these brain games, as well? For kids, brain games can also help them with communication skills, lateral thinking, eye contact, and more. All of these things will help provide your child with good social skills, which will lead to good overall health.Look at it this way - the brain is basically a giant muscle. If we want to become physically stronger, you probably already know what you should do, but for the sake of saying it, we exercise our muscles so that they become big and strong. Well, these brain games are going to do exactly that for your child’s brain. They work by strengthening and flexing the brain. This is why they suggest adults do brain games as well because this flexing and strengthening can help to prevent Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other brain-weakening diseases. Doing brain games like this is like have a personal trainer for the brain.In this audiobook, you will find two types of brain games: brain teasers and trick questions. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Eleven: A Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 200min
Who is Sam, and what do his strange dreams mean? The shock of icy water as a boat crashes onto rocks feels real; so does the castle high above him that is almost hidden in the mists. And what about the number 11 woven into all those dreams? The papers Sam finds in the locked box in the attic may hold the answers - if only he could read them. But to Sam, words are like spiders flexing their thin legs as they move across the page. Words are impossible. It's wood that Sam understands, wood that he loves to shape and to build with. Caroline, the new girl, who bursts into Sam's classroom one day and warns him that she's not there to stay, helps build a castle with him, and reads those papers. Together they set out to discover who Sam really is and where he belongs. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Staci Snell.

2017 Château Cheval Blanc 1. Grand Cru Classé A Saint-Émilion A.C.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95/100 Punkte "The 2017 Cheval Blanc is composed of 56% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon-an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon for this wine. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens slowly to reveal a gorgeous lilacs, roses, licorice and black truffles nose over a compelling core of cassis, warm plums, wild blueberries and cigar box plus a waft of wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, firm and earthy in character on the palate, it packs in tightly wound fruits and mineral accents, culminating in a long, perfumed finish. 50,000 bottles are to be produced." James Suckling 97-98/100 Punkte "This is tight and very tannic with a linear and steely backbone of texture. Full-bodied, compacted and complete. Muscular and flexing it but polished and toned. Wow. There is 6% cabernet sauvignon in the blend, which may be giving this even more strength. Very, very long. Very Left Bank in terms of the power and depth." Vinous (Neal Martin): 93-95/100 Punkte "The 2017 Cheval Blanc comes from 97% first generation grapes and 3% second generation from two-thirds of the vineyard, using a sorting table to select the ripest berries that were matured separately in small vats. The rejected second generation were sold off in bulk and not blended into the deuxième vin. There is a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and comparatively lower percentage of Cabernet Franc due to the frost damage. So this is a more Left Bank Cheval Blanc using more the gravel soils than clay since the latter are colder. It has a tightly wound, almost Saint Estèphe-inspired bouquet, with fresh blackberry, cedar, wet clay and light iris-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, masculine in style, less corpulent than the 2015 or 2016, stricter and more linear, a "cool" Cheval Blanc that eschews the florality of previous vintages with a saline, marine-tinged finish. This is a cerebral Cheval Blanc, not the greatest in recent years, but one of the most interesting to sit and think about (and then drink of course!). Trinkreife: 2024-2042" Wine Enthusiast: 96/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. Ripe and juicy with immense fruitiness, the black currant flavors and solid tannins are an indication of the long future ahead of this wine. Big in structure, it has a richly perfumed character as well as great fruit. It´s a great wine that´s ready to age for many years." Decanter: 96/100 Punkte "A sense of forward motion here makes you smile - a reaction that's missing in many wines this year. The tannins push their way right through the palate, but cradle the cassis and bilberry fruit rather than smother it, helped by the fact that floral and smoky aromatics rise up. There's good persistency and you get that little kick and dance of minerality. The precision engineering is clear, but the overall feeling is simply of cohesion and enjoyment. 3.65ph. 100% new oak, but without a trace even now at this early stage. Approximately 60% of the wine this year came from the gravelly plots which were less affected by the frost, which accounts for a slightly higher level of Cabernet Sauvignon than usual. They used perhaps 1% of secondary budding in this blend (five weeks behind schedule at bud-break and then around 15 days by harvest) and kept picking from 15 September to 11 October - an extremely long schedule compared to most estates in 2017. With around 30% loss to frost, there will be 50,000 bottles of Cheval in 2017, compared to 116,000 in 2016. 21hl/ha yield this year, 75% destined for the grand vin. Drinking Window 2026 – 2040” Weinwisser: 19,5/20 Punkte "56 % Merlot, 30 % Cabernet Franc. 14 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 77 % Grand Vin. 13 Vol.-%. Produktion: 55.000 Flaschen. 45 hl/ha, 5 % aus «Second Generation-Austrieb». Dichtes dunkles Purpur mit violettem Schimmer. Komplexes, kühl ausgerichtetes Bouquet mit Pflaumen, frisch geriebene Schokolade, frischem Darjeeling und herrlich floralen Noten (Veilchen). Im zweiten Ansatz mit süssen Kirschen, frisch gemahlenem schwarzen Bergpfeffer und dunklen Edelhölzern mit viel tiefgründiger Würze. Am Gaumen mit sattem, sehr dichtem Extrakt, dabei klassisch bleibend, so feingliedrig habe ich diesen Wein bei den Primeurs noch nicht erlebt. Im langen Abgang betört er mit Lakritze, frischem Szechuanpfeffer und Wildkirsche. Das ist flüssiges, pures Kaschmir – was für eine Delikatesse! Der beste Wein aus St.-Émilion dieses Jahr, mit dem höchsten Anteil an Cabernet Sauvignon im Blend. 2029-2060" Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.- Shop: Ludwig von Kapff

The Art of War: Tommy Carmellini Series, Book 6, Hörbuch, Digital, 395min
The Chinese dragon is flexing its muscles. As its military begins to prey on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and scheming to seize natural resources, the US goes on high alert. But a far more ominous danger lurks closer to home: a Chinese sleeper cell has planted a nuclear weapon in the harbor at Norfolk, Virginia, the biggest naval base on the planet. The target: a secret rendezvous of the Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers and their battle groups. When the CIA director is assassinated and Jake Grafton is appointed to take his place, he gets wind of the conspiracy, but has no idea when or where the attack will occur. In the meantime, a series of assassinations, including an attempt on the life of the President, shake the country and deliberately mask a far more sinister objective. Can Jake Grafton and his right hand man, Tommy Carmellini, stop the plot to destroy the US Navy? Language: English. Narrator: Eric G. Dove.
