He’s no monk, but he’s too busy with his hockey career and helping make his sisters' lives with his overbearing parents a little easier. Uriel is an alpha but he knows he cannot bear the responsibility of bonding an omega. He has his work as a lawyer and also volunteers at an orphanage trying to help the children there any way he can. He’s dated, but he is not willing to enter the kind of relationship an omega expects and betas never believe he will stay. Except that betas cannot tell if someone is an alpha… And Uriel has no reason to mention it to a one-night-stand. But the fire between them might not be fated, but it's undeniable, and neither can stop at just once. Are they brave enough to defy the world's expectations and strong enough to overcome the limitations of their own biology? "Not Destiny" is a standalone forbidden A/B/O romance with a side of hockey and courtrooms and a sprinkle of social justice. It can be read before or after "Cracking Ice", the Alpha/Omega Hockey serial about Thomas's linemates.

The Emerging Democratic Majority


Book Description

ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR AND A WINNER OF THE WASHINGTON MONTHLY'S ANNUAL POLITICAL BOOK AWARD Political experts John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira convincingly use hard data -- demographic, geographic, economic, and political -- to forecast the dawn of a new progressive era. In the 1960s, Kevin Phillips, battling conventional wisdom, correctly foretold the dawn of a new conservative era. His book, The Emerging Republican Majority, became an indispensable guide for all those attempting to understand political change through the 1970s and 1980s. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, with the country in Republican hands, The Emerging Democratic Majority is the indispensable guide to this era. In five well-researched chapters and a new afterword covering the 2002 elections, Judis and Teixeira show how the most dynamic and fastest-growing areas of the country are cultivating a new wave of Democratic voters who embrace what the authors call "progressive centrism" and take umbrage at Republican demands to privatize social security, ban abortion, and cut back environmental regulations. As the GOP continues to be dominated by neoconservatives, the religious right, and corporate influence, this is an essential volume for all those discontented with their narrow agenda -- and a clarion call for a new political order.

Spiritual Game


Book Description

Seek the seeker instead of enlightenment. Once you find the seeker, enlightenment is already there. This book isn't about enlightenment, but about you, the seeker. To Kiran Baba when people come to India seeking a spiritual life, or enlightenment, as it is better known among seekers, they come with many misunderstandings and misconceptions about life itself. These misunderstandings and misconceptions if not properly understood can lead people to much more misunderstandings and confusion, and even make them prone to get easily caught in what Kiran Baba calls “The Holy Business,” which seems to be an increasing factor in India, due to the number of foreigners who are heading to the Country every year in search of spiritual guidance. In his discourses Kiran Baba shares with his friends - the seekers - his understanding about life; how it naturally functions. He speaks about the many misunderstandings that one has while entering into the spiritual life. He warn us about the so many games we can fall for in name of enlightenment. He clarifies the most important concepts related to the nature of the mind and the ego, how they function and how they are naturally required by life. He invite us to have our own understanding about what we believe we are missing in our lives and start realizing each of us as an unique divine creation. And if you are available, his discourses can also give you some clues where you can connect to life again, but this time having your own understanding that it is possible to relax and celebrate life in whatever situation it is bringing to you. You will understand that life cannot be a misery; life cannot be suffering. Life when deeply understood is just a play and it is absolutely beautiful.
