These boots are not quite as stiff as the previous model which I loved. Softer boot makes it harder to carve turns. I use an anti blister patch to put inside the boot which eliminates friction and no friction = no heat build up = no blisters. You can buy them at goengo.com for about $15. They work great in hiking boots as well.

American Promise spans 13 years as Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson, middle-class African-American parents in Brooklyn, N.Y., turn their cameras on their son, Idris, and his best friend, Seun, who make their way through one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. Chronicling the boys' divergent paths from kindergarten through high school graduation at Manhattan's Dalton School, the documentary presents complicated truths about America's struggle to come of age on issues of race, class, and opportunity. American Promise is an Official Selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
The filmmakers talked about the film's potential impact with Open Society Foundations:
We hope that the film's campaign will help the conversation on deconstructing stereotypes and assumptions about our young men. Being able to be part of a larger trend of work that is moving the pendulum forward on the role unconscious racism plays in the black male achievement gap is a true honor.

CONWAY, Ark. (KTHV) - Just before 4:30 p.m. Friday, a jury found Richard Conte guilty on two counts of capital murder.
Contewas on trial for killing Carter Elliott and Timmy Wayne Robertson on the night of May 18, 2002.
All week they had been waiting, the families of Elliott and Robertson, and Friday it was time for the jury to make a decision.
"It's hard sitting in there. It's been a long time coming. We want the jury to come back with the right verdict. They gave it to the jury so we're just going to wait on them and maybe both families will have some closure," said Jayson Robertson, the brother of Timmy Wayne.
After only 35 minutes of deliberation, all twelve jurors had agreed. Richard Conte was guilty of two counts of capital murder.It was a verdict Elliott's son Trey had been waiting for.
"I'm so thankful this has been almost 11 years this may that my father was murdered and Timmy Wayne and today I can go home with a smile on my face knowing that the man who committed these murders will never get out of jail," said Elliott.
The Faulkner County Prosecutor in 2002 reportedly did not think he had enough evidense to charge Conte but in 2011, Prosecutor Cody Hiland took up the case. Much of the evidence had already been destroyed and no physical evidence tying Conte to the crime scene was found.

Prairie Wind is the twenty-seventh studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released in 2005. After recent dalliances with 60s soul music (Are You Passionate?) and rock opera (Greendale, which spawned a Young-directed film of the same name), Prairie Wind featured an acoustic-based sound reminiscent of his earlier commercially successful albums Harvest and Harvest Moon. The album was in part inspired by the illness and recent death of his father, Canadian sportswriter and novelist Scott Young, and the album is dedicated in part to the elder Young.
Young recorded the album in Nashville before undergoing minimally invasive surgery for an aneurysm in the spring of 2005, and some of the songs on the album appear to be informed by Young confronting his own mortality.
A premiere live performance of Prairie Wind was held in 18–19 August 2005 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Here, Young held a two-night concert where songs from the album were performed. These concerts became the subject of a film directed by Jonathan Demme entitled Heart of Gold.
Young debuted the album's closing track, "When God Made Me", at the Live 8 concert in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Charts and awards[edit]
The album debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart at number 11, on October 15, 2005, with sales of approximately 72,000 copies. It remained on the chart for 26 weeks. It was awarded a certified gold record by the RIAA on January 23, 2006.
Prairie Wind received two Grammy Award nominations at the 2006 Grammy Awards - Best Rock Album of the Year and Best Rock Solo Performance for "The Painter".[7] Prairie Wind was also chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005.

In the past, Kelsey Grammer and Martin Lawrence have both had successful sitcoms that ran for many years. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the duo's new FX sitcom, Partners, has much of a future. It's very likely to be cancelled.
On Partners, a snobby lawyer (Grammer) and an overly ethics-driven lawyer (Lawrence) become partners and end up helping each other get their lives in order. The rest of the cast includes McKaley Miller, Telma Hopkins, Danièle Watts, Rory O'Malley, and Edi Patterson.
As you may recall, FX made a 10/90 deal for Partners with Lionsgate TV and Debmar-Mercury. If the sitcom's first 10 episodes reached a certain ratings threshold then the cable channel was obligated to order 90 episodes for season two — assuring the studios would have enough episodes for a (potentially very lucrative) syndication package.
Charlie Sheen's sitcom, Anger Management, has a similar deal and this week, the 67th and 68th episodes of that sitcom's 90 installment second season aired. George Lopez's Saint George comedy also had a 10/90 deal but drew poor ratings and it was cancelled.
Deadline reports that it's highly unlikely for Partners to go past a single season and it's easy to see why. The ratings have been absolutely dismal. This week's pair of episodes averaged a 0.12 rating in the demo and a mere 415,000 viewers — far lower than Saint George ever dipped.
Supposedly, FX hasn't reached a decision yet but, unless there's some sort of miraculous turnaround, it seems like Partners is already doomed to be cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like Partners? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a super-sized second season?

RoboForm Desktop 7
RoboForm Desktop 7 : Handles Odd Sites RoboForm correctly handles capturing information even from unusual sites like this one that treats both entry fields as passwords.
10 / 20
Bottom Line
RoboForm Desktop 7 totally handles standard password management tasks, and nobody else does a better job of non-password form filling. Its one weakness is that it's limited to a single desktop. For full multi-computer and multi-device password management look to RoboForm Everywhere 7 instead.

Government hospitals across the State, along with numerous underprivileged patients, grapple with want of support as junior doctors in 10 government teaching hospitals enter the fourth day of their 'indefinite strike', on Tuesday.
With nearly 1,200 post-graduate students, 1,000 interns and 200 super speciality students participating in the strike, ward duties, out-patient services as well as elective surgeries in all government hospitals have been near paralysed for four days now.
Even as emergency and trauma services have not been boycotted by the junior doctors, patients admitted in all wards have not been receiving even scant attention. Nearly 1,000 out-patients visiting each hospital everyday are also forced to wait for hours before consultation.
Health officials informed that with the PG students boycotting their services, the burden on assistant professors and professors has more than doubled. Several patients have been left miserable with few left to perform regular duties such as cleaning and dressing wounds, administering saline etc.
The AP Junior Doctors Association (JUDA) warned that the strike will not be called off until the government gives them a written consent stating that all their demands will be met.
Timely payment and hike in stipends, deployment of special protection force at the hospitals, provisions of emergency, medical and lab infrastructure in hospitals, and reduction in compulsory rural service from three years to one year are among their demands.
Health officials, however, said that the government had released an additional amount of Rs. 34.12 crore to disburse their stipends and that adequate provisions are also being made to ensure timely payment of the stipends. The demand for 40 per cent hike in stipend, they said, was unrealistic and that it cannot be accepted.

Don Cassil Agency Launches Get Your Non-Profit on TV for Free, an E-Book Designed to Help Nonprofits Get Television Commercials on TV at No Cost
Book features ad secrets that nonprofits can deploy immediately to get public service commercials (PSA's) on television at no cosst.
Hot Springs, AR (PRWEB) December 14, 2012
Nonprofits hoping to get their messages out to the public will benefit from Get Your Non-Profit On TV For Free, an ebook that provides valuable information about public service advertising that can run at no cost to nonprofits across the US.
Veteran adman, Don Cassil, with more than 40 years in the advertising industry, shares his knowledge and experience to help nonprofits create and place powerful television commercials on their local television stations to raise awareness of their existence and their causes.
This is a step=by-step book based on Cassil's actual experience to show nonprofits how to get commercial television airtime at no cost when most businesses would be paying thousands of dollars for the same exposure.
Before his recent retirement, Cassil was consistently among the top producers on CableRep Advertising's "Best Of CableRep" which consists of the top producers throughout the US. He is a winner of a National ADDY Award for his television commercial work and is past president of the statewide advertising federation where he lives.
In his book, readers will learn that television stations actually want to air nonprofit public service commercials because they are required to do so by law due to the fact that they are using public airwaves.

Head of the Charles Regatta
The Head of the Charles Regatta, held every October, is the biggest rowing festival in the US, and marks the end of the rowing season for most people.
It's an unusual event, since you can see everyone from club rowers to recent Olympians (including medal-winners) on the water. Sunday is the big day, with most of the championship races.
Almost everyone seems to congregate on the Cambridge side of the water, as well as on the many bridges over the Charles. Races go upriver, so the end-points are especially crowded, with lots of potential for boat-crashes.
The races are all timed, with boats released every few seconds, so it's nearly impossible to tell who's actually winning. Even the rowers don't know.
There are all kinds of stalls selling sporting paraphernalia and food, and there's a very festive atmosphere - as well as thousands upon thousands of people wearing 'crew' shirts, often from their college days decades before!
Head of the Charles!
The Head of the Charles Regatta is the world's largest rowing event. Competitors, and fans, come from all over the world to compete in rowing. The regatta is held every October, and the shores of the Charles are packed with spectators the weekend of the competition.
The photo shows folks rowing on the river, training for the competition later that year. (It's probably hard to make them out...they're right under the left span of the bridge.)
- Water Sports
Go rowing on the Charles River
Rowing is huge here. Several boat clubs offer lessons. Rowing the Charles gives you amazing views of Boston and Cambridge. Not into rowing? then just walk along the Charles and watch the rowers. It's a wonderful sight.
Equipment: There are several boat clubs in Cambridge and Boston where you can rent and take lessons. Most people I know go to the Cambridge Boat Club
Shoeshowing in Minute Man National Park
While living in Boston, I always enjoyed snowshoeing on the Battle Road in Minute Man National Park (obivously during the winter months). The Battle Road is the path retreating British soldiers took back to Boston on April 19, 1775 after the initial shots of the American Revolutionary War were fired at the North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts.
Although you are close to nearby towns, Minute Man National Park can make you feel like you are way out in the countryside, especially along the Battle Road. So, if the Boston area gets a good snow, Minute Man National Park is a great place to go and enjoy the wintery scene as only cross-country skiers and a few people on snowshoes will be there. It's a great way to get exercise, see some great winter scenes and some American history all at the same time.
Equipment: If you don't own a pair of snowshoes (like most people), then you can rent some at one of REI's Massachusetts locations in Reading (279 Salem Street or call (781) 944-5103) or Framingham (375 Cochituate Rd. or call (508) 270-6325). Be sure to call ahead, especially on weekends, they rent fast.
Red Sox baseball game at Fenway Park
Red Sox baseball game at historic Fenway Park. Fenway is one of the few old baseball parks left in America and has not changed much since it opened in 1912. With such an incredible history, a game at Fenway takes one back to early days of baseball and great players like Ted Williams, Cy Young and Babe Ruth.
In 1947, the legendary "Green Monster" was created when the all the advertisements on the left field wall was painted over with green paint. The official Red Sox website has a great narrative on the history of Fenway. Over the past few years there has been a lot of talk around Boston about replacing Fenway Park with a new ballpark as so many other cities have done. So, Fenway's time may be limited as well as your chance to experience this truly great old ballpark.
If possible, try to catch a Red Sox - Yankees game. The heckling the Boston crowd gives their New York counterparts is an experience in and of itself and one that demonstrates just how old the rivalry is between the Boston and New York baseball clubs.
Equipment: Bring your liver and some cash for beers and italian sauages.

Sorry dude but if your an impatient person body building is not for you. Its not fair to yourself and your body to expect a sudden change in only a few weeks. Most people dont like the fact that to look good takes hard work and time. This is why you have so many fat pigs walking around in the world.Originally Posted by addicshunlifter
In the past month i've gained 10 pounds. I looked in the mirror and aside from a little change i look exactly the same. It takes about 30 pounds lost or gained for you to really notice it.
Also you could just be working out wrong/dieting wrong. Give me some more info and maybe i can help you...Im bored as hell right now lol.

Okay - what kind of results, exactly, are you trying to achieve? And no squats?
And how many calories; how many grams of protein, carb and fat are you consuming? I really don't care how many meals you eat. Just what's in 'em.
Bodybuilding is hard as ****. That's why I <3 it so.

I don`t notice change weekly, or even monthly. You grow very very slowly so it`s hard to notice a difference from day to day or week to week.
Pictures help. But one day you`ll probably just catch yourself in the mirror and realize that you`re getting big. The stretch marks and the used-to-be-loose-fitting clothes will be good reminders too, eventually.

Coat hangers heat up and break, and they don't last as long, metal fatigue. Piano wire, or other slim, rugged and semi stiff wires work, some offshore fishing leads. My best is Mig welding wire. Pulling always works better, you can feel mistakes or challenges. A good permanent marker is a must. You can try talking to a production or veteran spliced to get their standard measurements. Another good tool is a set of small picks and awls. sharp scissors and masking tape.After pushing the wire loop through the core to ready to pull back, hook the other end up to a small ratchet strap to extract the tail.

The sky is the limit with NASA
Monday - 8/18/2014, 5:14pm EDT
What are NASA's key strategic goals? How is NASA expanding the boundaries of science, technology, and imagination? What is NASA doing to cultivate a risk tolerant environment? Join host Michael Keegan as he explores these questions and more with Charlie Bolden, NASA Administrator.
Listen to the full show.
(Courtesy of the IBM Center for the Business of Government)
Maj. Gen. Charles Frank Bolden, Jr., (USMC-Ret.) was nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the 12th administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He began his duties as head of the agency on July 17, 2009. As administrator, Bolden leads a nationwide NASA team to advance the missions and goals of the U.S. space program.
At NASA, Bolden has overseen the safe transition from 30 years of space shuttle missions to a new era of exploration focused on full utilization of the International Space Station and space and aeronautics technology development. He has led the agency in developing a Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft that will carry astronauts to deep space destinations, such as an asteroid and Mars. He also established a new Space Technology Mission Directorate to develop cutting-edge technologies for the missions of tomorrow. During Bolden's tenure, the agency's support of commercial space transportation systems for reaching low- Earth orbit have enabled successful commercial cargo resupply of the space station and significant progress toward returning the capability for American companies to launch astronauts from American soil by 2017. Bolden has also supported NASA's contributions toward development of developing cleaner, faster, and quieter airplanes. The agency's dynamic science activities under Bolden include an unprecedented landing on Mars with the Curiosity rover, launch of a spacecraft to Jupiter, enhancing the nation's fleet of Earth-observing satellites, and continued progress toward the 2018 launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.
Bolden's 34-year career with the Marine Corps also included 14 years as a member of NASA's Astronaut Office. After joining the office in 1980, he traveled to orbit four times aboard the space shuttle between 1986 and 1994, commanding two of the missions and piloting two others. His flights included deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope and the first joint U.S.-Russian shuttle mission, which featured a cosmonaut as a member of his crew.
Prior to his nomination as NASA administrator, Bolden was Chief Executive Officer of JACKandPANTHER LLC, a small business enterprise providing leadership, military, and aerospace consulting, as well as motivational speaking.
Born Aug. 19, 1946, in Columbia, S.C., Bolden graduated from C. A. Johnson High School in 1964 and received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical science in 1968 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. After completing flight training in 1970, he became a Naval Aviator. Bolden flew more than 100 combat missions in North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, while stationed in Namphong, Thailand between 1972 - 1973.
Bolden earned a Master of Science degree in systems management from the University of Southern California in 1977. In 1978, he was assigned to the Naval Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Md., and completed his training in 1979. While working at the Naval Air Test Center's Systems Engineering and Strike Aircraft Test Directorates, he tested a variety of ground attack aircraft until his selection as an astronaut candidate in 1980.
Bolden's NASA astronaut career included technical assignments as the Astronaut Office Safety Officer; Technical Assistant to the Director of Flight Crew Operations; Special Assistant to the Director of the Johnson Space Center in Houston; Chief of the Safety Division at Johnson (where he oversaw efforts to return the shuttle to flight safely after the 1986 Challenger accident); lead astronaut for vehicle test and checkout at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida; and Assistant Deputy Administrator at NASA Headquarters. After his final shuttle flight in 1994, he left NASA and returned to active duty with Marine Corps operating forces as the Deputy Commandant of Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy.
In 1997, Bolden was assigned as the Deputy Commanding General of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force in the Pacific. During the first half of 1998, he served as Commanding General of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Forward in support of Operation Desert Thunder in Kuwait. He was promoted to his final rank of major general in July 1998 and named Deputy Commander of U.S. forces in Japan. He later served as the Commanding General of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, Calif., from 2000 - 2002. He retired from the Marine Corps in 2003. Bolden's many military decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in May 2006.
Bolden is married to the former Alexis (Jackie) Walker of Columbia, S.C. The couple has two children -- Anthony Chè, a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps, who is married to the former Penelope McDougal of Sydney, Australia, and Kelly Michelle, a plastic surgeon at the Howard University Hospital in Washington.

Pregnancy and smoking is two familiar words of English language but quite contrary in their results. One word results in a birth when another word causes death. And if you are smoking woman during pregnancy you are inviting awful future to your child as well as yours.
Smoking is a frequent habit across the mass population. Actually the very term smoking has widely been used to include the well-liked use of tobacco products and other additional products like marijuana. At first it was widely used by the men but after the end of seventeen century women are gradually become addicted to tobacco products. As, it's fixed by nature that the women will gives birth to a baby, so it's very much difficult for a child to survive if the Childs mother is a smoker

2014 "Piran Days of Architecture" Explores the Complexities of Vision
"What is the role of the architect as a visionary; can the architect (or should the architect) assume the position of social or urban orchestrator? Can architecture's presence in a technocracy promote a vision outside of its intentions?" – Professor Paul Robinson
The thirty-second Piran Days of Architecture international conference will take place on November 22, organized around the central theme of Vision. The conference will explore a contemporary methodology for interpreting the myriad facets of an architect's vision in the context of "increasing technological, sociopolitical, sociocultural and environmental demands."

4.0 out of 5 stars A Victorian style treasure,
Kelly Rossiter (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Meaning of Night (Hardcover)
Author Michael Cox apparently took some 30 years to write this novel The Meaning of Night. Weighing in at 600 pages, it may take you almost that long to read it. Mr. Cox is the editor of The Oxford Book of Victorian Detective Stories and clearly knows the writing style of the period intimately. I have read a lot of 19th century literature and if I hadn't known that this was a modern book, the author would have had me fooled. It has all the requisite characters - the young man cheated out of his inheritance, the saintly mother, the kindly benefactor, the beguiling prostitute, the evil enemy, the beautiful chaste young lady, the mysterious deceased Lady of the manor, even the rotund housekeeper and the weeping maid. Mr. Cox has not only captured the voice of the time, he gives the novel the kind of pacing of a Victorian detective fiction, doling out bits of forshadowing information and plot twists, although none that weren't apparent to me. The novel touches on many things common to Victorian books: the notion of honour, loyalty, blood, true love all seen through the lens of the social mores of the time. Readers of modern novels may find it wordy, but if you are a fan of authors such as Wilkie Collins then you have a good read ahead of you. So sit in your wingback chair in front of the fire with your companion next to you working her embroidery, ring for the butler to bring your tea (or perhaps a very little whisky) and open the pages of the novel and let Mr. Cox work his magic.
For movie lovers - you might want to try Kind Hearts and Coronets (19490 starring Alec Guiness and Dennis Price which covers a lot of the same territory but with a lot more humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars A HIGH FIVE FOR THIS VICTORIAN THRILLER,
Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Meaning of Night (Hardcover)
"After killing the red-haired man, I took myself off to Quinn's for an oyster supper."
Who could stop reading after such an opening sentence? Cox's monumental novel is subtitled "A Confession," could it be that is taken care of on page 1? Not quite. "The Meaning Of Night" is a labyrinthian journey through mid 19th century England, from the dank brothel lined streets of London to the elegance of Evenwood, a luxurious country home. The story is told ala Dickens, rich with Victorian language and copious footnotes.
Our narrator is Edward Glyver who well remembers that the first word he ever heard used to describe him was "resourceful." He is that and more. As a youngster he was the victim of a plot executed by Phoebus Rainsford Daunt, a fellow schoolboy. Edward was dismissed and sent home. However, we're reminded that "revenge has a long memory;" in this case, some two decades.
As the tale evolves, both Edward and Phoebus are rivals again. Following the death of Edward's mother he has reason to believe that his parentage is not what he thought it to be. Lord Tansor, master of Evenwood, is childless and has yet to choose an heir. Could that heir be Edward? This is a prize that Phoebus also pursues - not with honor we might add as he's both poet and shyster.
Lord Tansor's cousin, the mysterious and beautiful Emily Carteret, is also a prize that both men would win.
"The Meaning of Night" is a weighty read (700 pages) and a virtuoso accomplishment by the author. Those who appreciate Victorian thrillers will find pleasure in every sentence.
Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Patience is Rewarded,
Jeffrey Swystun (Toronto & Mont Tremblant) - See all my reviews
Wow! On every level this is an impressive first novel. It works extremely well for three reasons. First, it is an intricate and detailed mystery reminiscent of the writings from the mid 18th century when it takes place. Second, the main character's motivations are laid bare as the novel progresses in a clever, subtle manner. And lastly, the various sources of information that propel the story give it more credibility - diaries, affidavits, recollections add to the texture. I recognize that many have criticized the book for being too long and drawing out a resolution. But when you look at the bestseller lists, we fiction readers have largely been trained to expect books to be roughly 325 pages. In the case of The Meaning of Night, I found that patience is rewarded.
The novel flows at varied paces which adds to the entertainment. It is also varied as equal parts mystery, confession, and unrequited romance. The writing is both fluid and dense, I love his ongoing description of London as "the Great Leviathan, the never-sleeping monster in whose expanding coils I now dwelled." Another example is the author's Dickens-like description of one character, "You instantly saw a natural disposition towards goodness, his roundness seeming appropriately indicative of a corresponding completeness of character: that enviable, unaffected integration of feeling and temperament in which there is excess neither of preening self-regard nor impatience with the failings of others." And as good reading should provide, I learned new words and appreciated the author's use of translated Latin phrases.
Yet it is Edward Glyver's curious pursuit of Phoebus Daunt that intrigues. Is Daunt a true Moriarty? Or has Glyver found a clever excuse for his life's trials and tribulations? I invite you to find out - put on a fire, steep a tea or pour a scotch and settle into a tale not to be rushed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue and ambition in the Great Leviathan,
Kona (Emerald City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Meaning of Night (Hardcover)
As the story opens, we step into the world of Victorian London and meet mysterious Edward Glyver, intellectual, book lover, and seeker of revenge. After his mother's death, Edward discovers that everything he knew about her and himself was a lie; his real name is famous throughout England, but he must fight for the right to join that family. His battle involves murder and heartbreak and is an unforgettable story.
Edward narrates the story in the first person in the melodic, graceful, and flowery speech of a 19th century gentlemen. It is a captivating voice that pulls you into his dark and troubled world and holds you. We meet fascinating characters from the grimy London underworld to the heights of society, and uncover secrets from the past that affect Edward's future. Don't be put off by the size of this book; it's an exciting read, full of period details and charm and I found it hard to put down. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction.
3.0 out of 5 stars Richly detailed, good story, but too lengthy,
NorthVan Dave (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
According to the dust jacket on the book, it took the author 30 years to write this novel. And it shows. The level of detail demonstrated in the novel is extensive. The numerous footnotes and comments from the editor show that Cox spent a great deal of time researching and writing his novel.
The trouble is, Cox goes off in many different directions. Too many directions. And a story that could have been short, succinct, and to the point quickly, ends up rambling on and on and on. The reader could easily miss the middle 200 pages or so and not skip a beat with the rest of the story or the plot.
Having said that, the story is intriguing. Anyone who is a fan of the historical fiction novel will certainly enjoy this book. Provided they don't mind reading 200+ pages of additional filler.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great storyline, great characters,
Michael Cox does a fantastic job with character development in his novel. Making the reader care for the characters is not an easy feat to accomplish, and I feel he has done well in doing so. I felt connected to Glyver, feeling much of the emotions that Cox was portaying in his main character.
I enjoyed his writting style, as I felt there was good direction and flow throughout the book except perhaps for a few short passages that were however important to the plot.
It's been years since I've read a novel as interesting and enjoyable as this one. I look forward to Cox's second novel, as he suggests there will be on his website.
5.0 out of 5 stars very interesting,
temp (chatham, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
The sheer size of this book I found a little daunting. But after a few pages I was hooked and the volume was no longer intimidating. As a matter of fact,now that I am on the last few pages, I find I don't want the story to end.I enjoyed the latin phrases at the start of each chapter and the explanations of unfamiliar 19th century references. Most of all, I enjoyed the story line.One never knowswhat will happen next.I enjoy reading about 19th century England and all it's nuances.Very descriptive. One is transported in time.The characters are well described.This book is a real page turner, as they say.

5.0 out of 5 stars PART ENGLISH HISTORY...PART ENGLISH MYSTERY...,
Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Meaning of Night (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful, highly stylized work of historical fiction. Those with a penchant for Victorian literature will appreciate this book, as it is written in the style of the period with a great deal of thought given to detail. The book begins as a presentation to the reader by a University of Cambridge Professor of a manuscript discovered in the Cambridge library among some papers. As such, the professor has added many footnotes that serve to illuminate some of the historical and literary allusions and references interspersed throughout the book. This was a literary contrivance that I very much enjoyed, both as a history buff and avid bibliophile. The overall concept is really that of a book within a book.
The manuscript purports to be a confession of sorts, as it tells a story of friendship, betrayal, and revenge, revealing a secret that had a profound impact on those whose lives it touched. After reading just the first sentence, I was hooked, as the story begins with a cold-blooded murder. Set in Victorian England, the story is told by an Edward Glyver, who is seeking to avenge himself on Phoebus Rainsford Daunt, a childhood friend whom he met while they were students at Eton. While at Eton, a wrong was done to Edward that would mark him forevermore.
The book offers a myriad of interesting characters and relationships that shaped Edward Glyver. The book is also rife with intrigues, coincidences, and secrets that deliciously unfold bit by bit, drawing the reader into the spider web of deceit that surrounds Edward Glyver, deceits that he is discovering and trying to unravel. The forces of good and evil are at work here, but who is good and who is evil is left for the discerning reader to determine, although such a determination is not always so black and white.
Peppered with memorable characters, as well as a gripping plot, this is a well-written book that will keep the reader riveted to its pages as the plot thickens. While some of the plot is predictable, despite its twists and turns, I still found myself barely able to put the book down, so I can do nothing less than to highly recommend this immensely readable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1001 UnDaunted Adventures in Victorian England,
Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 127,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Meaning of Night (Hardcover)
The Meaning of Night will provide hours of rewarding entertainment for fans of Victorian mysteries and romances who have a literary bent and love rich historical detail. Those who love character development that is built up carefully, one layer of patina over another, will also delight in The Meaning of Night. Those who love complex plots where characters interact in complex ways over long time periods will also enjoy being entertained by The Meaning of Night. Such readers will revel in 600 pages of richly woven material. One of the unusual delights of this novel is the way that Mr. Cox employs the books the characters read, write and collect to indicate what kind of people the characters are.
If you are someone, however, who rarely reads a novel longer than 300 pages, you may find that your interest flags after a strong beginning before the story's pace picks up again around page 190. The book is more about thought than action unlike many Victorian mysteries that involve continual physical confrontations, a quality that may make the book less appealing to some.
Michael Cox shows that he is well read and apprecaites good fcition. The Meaning of Night makes obeisance to master works like Crime and Punishment, Great Expectations, The Prince and the Pauper, "The Purloined Letter", The Sign of Four, The Name of the Rose and John Banville's The Sea. But Mr. Cox carefully avoids following any of those ingenious works in so much detail that freshness is denied to readers of The Meaning of Night. Every time I decided how the story would end, Mr. Cox would twist things around enough to prove me wrong and keep me interested.
The story itself is positioned as being a handwritten confession from Victorian England that is being edited now by a professor of "Post-Victorian Fiction", a typical example of Mr. Cox's sly sense of humor. References to literature, authors, Latin, and various places are more heavily footed than in most academic works. That slight fiction about what the material is allows Mr. Cox to provide a stronger sense of time and place than most readers could appreciate without the many notes.
Although The Meaning of Night often develops its plot slowly, the opening is as strong, direct and spare as a Dashiell Hammett work. "After killing the red-haired man, I took myself off to Quinn's for an oyster suppper." But the following pages are vastly less Hemingwayesque.
After that astounding sentence, the bulk of the book digs through decades of earlier events which are reported through research-based flash backs. One of the surprisingly pleasant features of these flashbacks is that Mr. Cox is meticulous in providing links in his story that make the flashbacks fit well into the overall narration's logic.
So what's it all about? Edward Glyvver is a man caught between several worlds. His parents died while he was young. Despite intelligence and energetic efforts, his academic path was cut short. Having little money, he must find a way to earn his own living. Glyvver employs the resourcefulness of a street-smart operator among the demimonde while being able to move smoothly among the gentry. The central crisis of Glyvver's life involves his passionate love for an ideal woman who is unattainable without money and position. Placed by Mr. Cox in that central vantage point, Glyvver sees and deeply understands the flaws and hypocrisies of the Victorians. But he also finds himself susceptible to the same flaws and hypocrisies. Ultimately, his dilemma relates to choosing who he wants to be in this highly stratified society. For anyone who has felt like they had been adopted, this story of searching for his roots will be moving and fascinating. To make this search more challenging, Glyvver has a dark twin, an evil nemesis named Phoebus Daunt.
Ultimately, the appeal of a book like The Meaning of Night rests on what you think of the main characters. I found Edward Glyvver to be a powerful and intriguing character, one that will long remain in my consciousness. Glyvver is also a sympathetic character, even when he acts like a villain, and many readers will be rooting for him. The lovely Bella, his demimonde friend, is also sympathetically drawn. Christopher Tredgold is another interesting character as he strives to square his personal ethics with his legal promises. Laura Tensor will also make an impression on you. Phoebus Daunt makes an excellent foil for Glyvver, and you will find him well worth despising.
Settle down for a delightful several hours!

5.0 out of 5 stars A most poignant, deeply impressive, all-consuming reading experience,
Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Meaning of Night (Hardcover)
The singular product of a revivification of the best tradition of nineteenth century literature, The Meaning of Night tells an extraordinarily gripping tale of love, misfortune, villainy, betrayal, and, one must concede, fate unbowed. Thirty years from conception to publication, this is a true example of modern literature that achieves a remarkable depth of feeling even as it takes its readers on an immensely complicated journey through the darkness of the human soul. Michael Cox's dedication to historical detail fairly brings nineteenth-century London and its environs to remarkably poignant life, forming a most vivid backdrop to a story that draws you in more and more with each succeeding chapter. The story itself is a confessional biography of a most unfortunate denizen of mid-nineteenth-century Victorian England, and indeed it reads as if it were written contemporaneously with the great works of Charles Dickens. While this detailed, literary style may not appeal to those modern readers who merely peruse disposable novels for the sole purpose of fleeting entertainment, I feel it makes for the most penetrating, thoroughly immersive of reads and definitely allows for the most elaborate and effective approaches to character development.
The protagonist of The Meaning of Night is a most formidable, unforgettable character, someone who seems to represent so much of the human condition in his solitary soul. While our initial encounter with this fellow does not exactly awaken pangs of camaraderie, he soon becomes the most sympathetic of characters, a man wronged far beyond the pale. While we all know it is wrong to truly hate another person, how could Edward Glyver not hate the man he recognizes as his nemesis? He blames this man, the celebrated poet Phoebus Rainsford Daunt, for the deliberate ruination of his life and future on far too many occasions to be coincidence. Since the narrator of this mystifying confession seems in no way a madman, one cannot help but acquiesce to his personal belief that cruel fate has bound these two men together for its own pernicious reasons.
Glyver's enmity toward this one-time friend began in the characters' youth, with Glyver blaming Daunt for his sudden and unwarranted dismissal from school, an injustice that naturally thwarted the young man's planned course for the future. Eventually, Glyver comes to blame Daunt for stealing his very past as well as his future, taking away from him everything he ever deserved and wanted. The real mystery of this story begins in the years following the death of Glyver's mother. While reading through her journals, Glyver first touches upon a revelation of the most life-changing kind. Learning that his true history may be something quite different from what he has always believed, Glyver combines his ardent desire for revenge against Daunt with a wholehearted attempt to find the evidence that will secure him the birthright he now knows should be his by legal right. As the drama unfolds, both objectives follow converging paths that lead to a seemingly unavoidable, inarguably tragic climax.
Cox sews an immense number of characters and plot lines together with the skills of a master surgeon of the written word, transforming even the most mundane of incidents into shockingly effective revelations. The final hundred pages contain many a gut-wrenching moment, especially one involving betrayal of the most devastating kind -- which only makes the reader all the more determined to follow Glyver's story through to the bitter end. One cannot help but be drawn completely into this vibrant Victorian atmosphere, swarming as it is with the most fascinating and inscrutable characters playing their own mysterious parts in this endlessly fascinating tale.
To me, this novel has overtones of both Dickens and Dostoyevsky, and I would be hard pressed to come up with a more enthusiastic endorsement of any work of fiction. If there is any such thing as an instant classic of literature, The Meaning of Night is it. I could discuss the emotional vagaries and poignant revelations of this novel for hours on end, but I would not dare deny the potential reader of the opportunity to immerse himself or herself in this fascinating novel the same way I did -- with no foreknowledge as to any of the story's revelations and emotional upheavals. If you harbor the slightest appreciation for the unparalleled power and beauty of the written word, you will want to immerse yourself in the pages of The Meaning of Night.
