  Growing Up During the Cold War: A Personal Perspective from the Forties to Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min

  Growing up during The Cold War: A Personal Perspective from the Forties to Today relates in narrative form the tumultuous, exciting and sometimes frightening era referred to as the Cold War Era. Civil Rights, Women's Lib, Anti-War Drafts and changes in the educational system all characterized the times. Told from the point of view of some of those who lived in the central part of the United States, far from the conflict and even decently distant from the unrest in urban centers, it is an effort to portray both the uncertainty and the wonder as exploration of space both within and without was mood of the times. Such a work cannot replace the experience of living through those times. And, no doubt, since any writer must pick and choose between events that occur in such times, there are things that have been left out of this account. However, it can serve as a springboard for those who wish to explore this recent history and it places a variety of sources into a coherent timeline of events and changes. It is not limited to conflict, but also embraces advances spurred on by the rivalry between the United States and Soviet Russia. Landmark changes occurred in the United States legal system, as well. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Johnston.

  Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em: Strategies to Consistently Beat Small Stakes Tournaments and Cash Games , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 830min

  There is a lot of money to be made at small-stakes no-limit hold'em because...surprise, surprise...most of the players aren't very good. However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of course, beat them. But they won't beat them for nearly as much as they ought to. Why? Because they don't understand how to adjust correctly. Playing a solid, competent, decently aggressive style is a strategy that will be profitable. That said, you should not be content with just beating these games - you should be absolutely crushing them. The trick to doing this is to disregard a lot of “correct” poker and get way out of line at the right times. The methods required are far from obvious or intuitive but in Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em Jonathan Little explains them in great detail. Jonathan constructs a basic strategy to crush small-stakes games and also identifies the adjustments that need to be made when facing more competent opposition. You need this book if.... You frequently play small-stakes no-limit hold'em You usually play larger stakes but (especially live) often have to make do with smaller stakes games You play tournaments (such as WSOP events) that feature numerous recreational players ungekürzt.

  Give Dad My Best , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min

  Back before the stock market crash, Jack’s dad had been working steadily, and their family had had plenty of money. But now, in the middle of the 1930s depression, there isn’t much work for a trombone player - just a gig down in New York City once in a while. So 14-year-old Jack is doing his best to help out. He’s lucky enough to get a weekend job at the town boat club where the “rich folks” hang out, but Jack wishes his dad would at least try to get a regular job. Sometimes there isn’t even enough money to buy decent food and clothes for Jack, his sister Sally, and their young brother Henry. It’s bad enough that their mother has had a nervous breakdown and gone to live in a “home.” Now Jack and Sally are beginning to wonder how long the rest of the family will be able to stay together, with so little money coming in. Jack’s father keeps telling them to look on the bright side - his favorite song is “Happy Days Are Here Again”. But Jack isn’t sure there can be a bright side when you don’t have enough money to live decently. Then, at the boat club, Jack sees an opportunity to steal a lot of money - enough to pay the family’s back rent and keep them all together. For the first time in his life Jack is seriously tempted to steal - especially now that he realizes that his dad can’t really be depended upon, that it’s up to him to take care of the family. ungekürzt.

  Bugs Moran: The Notorious Life and Legacy of the Chicago Gangster Who Became Al Capone’s Biggest Rival , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 127min

  “I hope, when my time comes, that I die decently in bed. I don’t want to be murdered beside the garbage cans in some Chicago alley.” (Bugs Moran)Sprightly swing music spills across the dimly lit club. The grayish curtains of cigarette smoke part every once in a while to reveal a sparkling stage and tables upon tables of patrons, some incurably inebriated and others high on the fast-paced nightlife. Fabulous flappers in shimmery cocktail dresses and stylish feather headbands throw their hands up and stomp their feet to the addictive beat on the dance floor. Smartly dressed men, their hair neatly parted and slicked back, toss fistfuls of dice onto the plush green baize of the craps tables. Some hover over roulette wheels, staring intently at the spinning flashes of silver, while others finger their playing cards as they sip on tumblers of whiskey, eyeing both the river and the tower of tokens next to them.One of the most infamous of the gangsters during this era was George “Bugs” Moran, who bore all the qualities of a stereotypical 20th-century mobster. They didn’t call him “Bugs” for nothing, as the man was a vindictive ticking time bomb who unleashed hell upon anyone who dared cross him. One of the most prolific career criminals of his time, he was convicted and incarcerated at least three times before his 21st birthday. George was a seasoned gunman (so much so that he was eventually crowned the “father of drive-by shootings”), an expert rum-runner, and the fearsome head of one of the most prominent gangs in all of Chicago.Nobody was ever convicted for the “Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre”, the most infamous gangland hit in American history, but it’s an open secret that it was the work of America’s most famous gangster, Al Capone. Indeed, “Scarface” has captured the nation’s popular imagination since Prohibition, managing to be the most notorious gangster in America while living a very visible and high-profile life in Chicago.

  The Ride of a Lifetime

  #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir of leadership and success: The CEO of Disney, one of Time's most influential people of 2019, shares the ideas and values he embraced to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world and inspire the people who bring the magic to life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger-think global-and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Fourteen years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era. In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger shares the lessons he's learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including: • Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming. • Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity. • Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale. • Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It's also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology. "The ideas in this book strike me as universal" Iger writes. "Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives."

  Carnivorous Carnival

  When I was a teenager, I sweated out my adolescent angst in a barely listenable garage band like countless other young, hopeful musicians with grandiose visions of rock stardom. Eventually we had our chance to prove ourselves to the local rock scene at a major battle of the bands at an area high school. We asked ourselves, while scratching our heads, "How did we get this gig?" Apparently someone had slipped a cassette to the booking person, claiming it was our demo, when in actuality, it was material recorded by our favorite semi-professional and polished local band. We played and unintentionally provided some much needed comedic relief for the packed house. I'm sure this was never the case with Boulder's Statewide Emergency. The young band's chops would not allow for this aberration. Vocalist/guitarist Matt Paradis, guitarist Luke Johnson, bassist Caleb Kronen and percussionist Keith Slack - all in their teens -have proven themselves in the Boulder and Denver club scenes. Their debut disc, last year's Another Point of View, was an auditory testament to the quartet's strong work ethic and ability to craft loud, guitar-based rock with influences that predate them by decades. The band owes an obvious debt to '70s-era rock gods whose debauchery involved smashed motel television sets, squealing groupies and binge drinking. The follow-up, Carnivorous Carnival, which will be released digitally on May 30, continues this tradition. The disc showcases a solid, capable band and sounds like it could have been recorded in 1975 - it's vintage glory aided by the capable hands of local studio techies such as John Macy, Mark Oblinger and James Tuttle. The band's limited recording fund is hardly noticeable. "We were on a decently low budget, so we wanted to be really tight on all our songs going into a studio," Paradis says. "So once we got in there, everything went pretty straight-forward and as planned because we [were] pretty prepared and ready for it. "We actually tracked all to analog," he reveals. "We tracked through a 24-track tape machine and then into ProTools from that. Analog has that warm kind of tone that most digital recordings don't have. Then on the way out, when we were mixing it, we went back through tape. I'm sure that helped [with the vintage sound]." Production choices and musical tightness only go so far, though - the content has to match. Paradis and company rise to the task by blasting through Carnivorous Carnival's six tunes with power chords and bombast galore. This is stoner rock with enough swagger to split the seams on a pair of polyester skinny jeans. Don't come to the Statewide Emergency table hungry for sugary pop or over-produced radio fare, feast here if you like your rock loud and straightforward. "The Inside," which starts off Carnivorous Carnival, contains the album's finest moments. Heavy guitars and muscular vocals arise from the mix and sucker-punch the listener in stereo. Drums and bass swirl in the background, providing a propulsive rhythm section, while a strong melody dives and rises up continuously. All the elements work together, and the result is easily likable. "It was probably the song we worked on the most. I think it's the one that we're going to promote as our single, and we had a feeling about that going in," Paradis says. "The biggest problems we found with that song were getting the vocals to fit right in there. The vocals are really what drive that song - just the effects and levels and processing on all that - we definitely struggled with [that] for a while, but then in the end it turned out perfect." The guitar-filled juggernaut "The Inside," the electric piano-containing, more subdued "Rubber Legs" and the rest of Carnivorous Carnival will be provided free of charge to all those who pay the cover for Saturday's album release show at the Fox Theatre. These days, with so much music available for free - both legally and illegally - it makes sense on the promotional side of things to sometimes give music away free of charge. "We're really proud of this album. We want people to hear it, and that's [a] bigger priority than getting money for it, because getting heard is what we want above all else," Paradis says. "You want people to know what you're doing, because if people don't know what you're doing, why are you doing it?" -Chris Calloway, The Boulder Weekly.
