ATLANTA - A Fulton County jury has awarded $1.14 million in damages to a woman who fell after getting her heel caught in loose concrete on a downtown Atlanta sidewalk.
Don Edwards, a lawyer for 35-year-old Miriam Nichole Hancock says his client severely injured her ankle and needed several surgeries after the accident. Edwards says the verdict was handed down against the city of Atlanta for failing to fix the sidewalk problem, which he says the city should have known about.

Japanese wrestlers make American tough guys look like girlie-men in this collection of no-holds-barred matches from the Far East. Punches and kicks are just a departure point for these fighters, who also use barbed wire, furniture, broken glass and other creative weapons to bring down their opponents; one wrestler even sets the ring on fire! This is a must-see for any real wrestling fan who wants to witness hard-core warriors in action.

Four Seminoles named to FOX Sports All-America team
Four Florida State players highlight the FOX Sports 2014 preseason All-America football team.
Wide receiver Rashad Greene, left tackle Cameron Erving, safety Jalen Ramsey and kicker Roberto Aguayo were picked to the 22-player team.
Greene caught 76 passes for 1,128 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He has led the Seminoles in receptions the last three seasons and is on FSU's career top-10 list in receptions (171), receiving yards (2,465) and receiving touchdowns (22).
Erving won the ACC's Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 2013, which is awarded to the league's top offensive lineman. A defensive tackle until he moved to left tackle in the spring of 2012, Erving has become one of the nation's top left tackles.
Ramsey started 14 games as a true freshman, making 49 tackles. He began the season as a corner and showed strong cover skills before moving back to safety.
Aguayo made 21 of 22 field-goal attempts and all 94 extra-point attempts as a freshman last season. He won the Lou Groza Award, which is presented to the nation's top place-kicker.
Marcus Mariota of Oregon was named FOX Sports' first-team quarterback over Florida State's Jameis Winston.

What's great about this beach is unlike Seattle beaches, doggies are allowed. And if you walk far enough past the main beach, there's an area where dogs can roam off leash.
My little guy loved it.
It was lovely to just do nothing but walk the beach with the little pup, listening to the waves. Only ten minutes from my house but it felt like a million miles away.
[Lately I've been discouraged. Just with the market, my blog... lots of things. I love my blog, I love what I make but sometimes it's easy to let the little voices in my head dictate how I feel. Do you know what I'm talking about? Spending time at the beach was mini-therapy for me.]

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Oasis Sanctuary Foundation, Ltd., Benson, AZ, USA
This is one of the few places that help birds that for many reasons are no longer able to be cared for by individuals. There are thousands of options for dogs and cats. It's too bad they can't be rehabilitated back to the wild but it isn't to be for these sweet birds. They are difficult as pets and a place like this gives them a happy life and great care. If you can please support them. We have two rescue birds that may outlive us so it is nice to know if there is room they will have a place to go if we can no longer care for them.
Review for Oasis Sanctuary Foundation, Ltd., Benson, AZ, USA
We have two rescue birds that share our home and when we heard about the Oasis Sanctuary we were so excited to know that if our birds outlived us since we are not youngsters anymore that we knew they could have a good home if our one relative that enjoys birds was unable to take them if there comes a time we can no longer care for them or pass away before them. We have visited twice and it is just amazing the care that these birds receive. It is also heartbreaking to realize that so many people have no idea what is involved in caring for these birds and then they have problems and no one wants them anymore. They are loved and cared for in the most amazing setting out in the beautiful high country of Arizona. We try to donate what we can in the way of monies and just love the letters and emails they send out telling about the birds and their needs. It is too bad that all birds are not wild and free but once they are used to people caring for them or far from their native homes they must be cared for by someone. The Oasis Sanctuary is a wonderful place for these amazing creatures to live out their lives in peace and
Review for Oasis Sanctuary Foundation, Ltd., Benson, AZ, USA
It is so nice to know that there is a place that takes care of birds since they have such a long life if they are well cared for that they often outive their owners or live longer than a caretaker can care for them. I like knowing there is somewhere that will take our "girls" if and when we can no longer care for them or both pass away.

New Caledonia is the perfect place for relaxation and vacation and also to charge your batteries after a long period fulfilled with stressful situations. Despite the long and sandy beaches and the clean water, New Caledonia offers a great variety of food that satisfies the taste of the tourists. The vacation is just the perfect timing to consume some extra calories and enjoy it to the fullest!
Cuisine of New Caledonia
The New Caledonia food is the perfect opportunity for you to taste a variety of different meals. This cuisine is specific because it has the influence of the French cuisine and also from the local communities. Some of the French methods of food preparation can be noticed in the New Caledonian cuisine. Despite the influence from the French cuisine, in this cuisine can be felt the influence from some different cuisines than the French such as the Melanesian cuisine, Indonesian cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine and some other. The migrants from Melanesia brought several of their traditional dishes such as "Bougna". The same happened with the people from Tahiti who introduced their traditional dish 'Tamara'a'. The Indonesian also contributed to this cuisine by introducing the Caledonian people to a new dish called "Bami" and the Japanese contributed to this cuisine with their traditional meal 'Sashimi'.
New Caledonia Cuisine
In the New Caledonia cuisine can be found some ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, escargot, tropical fruits, fish, eggs, milk (especially coconut milk) etc. The right combination of these ingredients and some others can result in delicious meals which can activate your stomach. The food in New Caledonia is usually being braised or steamed in order to keep the nutrients from the food. There are some recipes which require the food to be raw such as some salads.
The inhabitants living in the islands of New Caledonia celebrate the food traditions and festivals which are also celebrated in France such as New Year's Day, Labor Day, Whit Monday, Armistice Day, Easter, Christmas and many more. During the celebration of these holidays and during the celebration of some other festivals and important events, the tourists are able to taste some of the most delicious traditional dishes. One of the most important festivals in New Caledonia is the Festival of yam and generally is held in the month of March. During this festival, tourists have the opportunity to try the dish called 'Civet de Roussette'.

Robots have been a big topic at our house lately. We made our simple "robot" craft for Chicago Parent magazine a couple of months ago. And my kids recently watched Star Wars for the first time - so now they are liberally using the word "droid."
If your kiddos are into robots, I wanted to tell you about an opportunity to learn more about robots. In celebration of National Robotics Week (April 7-15), MSI will host a "Robot Revolution Block Party" displaying more than a dozen robots from around the world in the Museum's Rotunda. Some of the robots on display throughout the week include:
- Cubelets: Build your own robot by combining these small, magnetic blocks together! Due to the various sensors and logic patterns built into each block, no complex wiring or programming education is needed to create a robot that can drive around a tabletop or respond to light, sound and temperature.
- Paro Therapeutic Robot:Looking more like a stuffed animal than a robot, Paro is a soft, furry seal that has helped reduce stress for hospital and nursing home patients. Paro has five different sensors that allow him to perceive people, and varying emotions and environments. He also recognizes voice direction—responding to different names, greetings and praise.
- Palro: This humanoid robot can see, hear and walk. Palro is, well, your pal, and by making eye contact with you, can recognize your face, learn your name and have a complete conversation!
- Anybot QB2: Anybots are at the forefront of a new type of communication called mobile telepresence—the new frontier of interactive communication. By adding remote-controlled mobility to videoconferencing, this new form of face-to-face communication is a truly futuristic experience.
On Saturday, April 14, guests the chance to hear from the inventors of these robots first-hand. For a complete schedule of these presentations, visit msichicago.org.

Nairobi: Society of African Missions celebrates 150th anniversary
As the Society of African Missions, (SMA) marked its 150th anniversary on 8 December; Kenyan Catholics had every reason to celebrate. Ten of its 800 priests, currently working in 19 countries worldwide, are from Kenya. A colourful celebration Mass took place in Nairobi on Saturday, presided over by Bishops David Kamau, an Auxiliary Bishop for the metropolitan archdiocese of Nairobi and Ngong Diocese Bishop Cornelius Schilder. The congregation's regional superior for Kenya, Rev Fr Patrick Devine also took part. In his homily, Rev Fr Frank Wright, SMA called the Church in Africa to continue to fight vices such as corruption and bribery in the society. He regretted the "chaos" that has taken place in Liberia and Rwanda and said it was the duty of the Church to promote a just society and stand up for people's rights as well as working to work with the poor. The SMA was founded in Lyons, France in 1856 by Bishop Melchoir de Marion Bresillac on December 8 at the cathedral of Our Lady of Fourviere. The congregation opened its first community in Kenya in 1992, when the late Maurice Cardinal Otunga gave them Saint Joseph Catholic Parish in the Eastern side of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. The SMA now works in the metropolitan archdiocese of Nairobi and the dioceses of Lodwar and Ngong. Rt Rev Patrick Harrington SMA, is Bishop of Lodwar.

SNR Denton has added another South Africa firm to its alliance network, tying up with Black Economic Empowerment firm KapdiTwala.
SNR Denton, which first added a South African firm to its network in 2009 (23 March 2009), has now added a second, forming a link with Cape Town-based KapdiTwala.
Two-partner KapdiTwala specialises in energy law, and provides clients with corporate and litigation services. The firm is part of the South African government's Black Economic Empowerment initiative – launched to redress inequalities faced by the country's black majority as a result of apartheid – and part of SNR Denton's role will be to support KapdiTwala as a firm providing BEE services.
In a statement, KapdiTwala managing partner Noor Kapdi said: "This agreement is historic for a number of reasons. It's the first time in the South African legal profession that we will see collaboration to this extent between a global law firm and a BEE firm, giving us a solid foothold in the energy legal sector."
"This association will provide a platform of opportunities for black South African lawyers to specialise and develop careers in the energy industry," added SNR Denton's energy co-head Stephen Shergold.
NR Denton and KapdiTwala were introduced through a mutual client, Total. Shergold was visiting Total South Africa's head of legal Zahir Wiliams, who mentioned that his company worked with KapdiTwala but that the firm lacked resources to meet many of Total's needs. Shergold, along with fellow SNR Denton partners Paul Bugingo, Jonathan Cahn, Tom Eldridge and Charles Wood, will oversee the relationship.

You are hereHome ⁄ River Murray system ⁄ Running the River Murray ⁄ Lake Victoria
Lake Victoria
Located near the South Australian border, Lake Victoria is a naturally occurring shallow lake about 60 km downstream of the Murray–Darling junction in south-western New South Wales. The lake forms an 'off-river' storage that assists in regulating flow and salinity in the River Murray as it flows into South Australia. It does this in 1 of 2 ways — by intercepting high flows from upstream, or by releasing extra water when required — to ensure South Australia's flow entitlements are met.
In the 1920s, Lake Victoria was modified by the then River Murray Commission to its current state as a regulated off-river storage. Embankments and regulators were built to control water entering the lake from the River Murray via Frenchman's Creek (upstream of Lock 9). These changes increased the maximum capacity of the lake to 677 GL. Water released through the outlet regulator flows from the lake into the Rufus River and returns to the Murray downstream of Lock 7. Lake Victoria covers 12,200 ha, yet only has a maximum depth of about 5.5 m when full.
While the lake is the smallest of the River Murray's 4 major storages, it's location near the end of the system strongly influences the management and level of flows along the entire River Murray.
Catchment characteristics
Lake Victoria is located in a flat, semi-arid region of the Basin and does not have a local catchment of any significance. Its inflows are dependent on diversions from the River Murray. Under natural conditions, the lake would only have received inflows during times of flooding along the Murray or on the rare occasion that sufficiently heavy rain fell at or close to the lake.
Operational role
The primary function of Lake Victoria is to ensure that South Australia receives its full water share as defined in the Murray–Darling Basin Agreement. Under the agreement, South Australian entitlement varies depending on the time of year. If there is insufficient water arriving from upstream via the River Murray, the flow to South Australia is supplemented with water from Lake Victoria. If there is surplus water arriving from upstream, a portion of the water is diverted and stored in Lake Victoria as long as airspace and inflow constraints allow.
Seasonal variation in operations
Generally, Lake Victoria is filled (where possible) during winter and spring. Depending on tributary inflows and the water level in the lake, filling may involve transferring water from Hume Reservoir to Lake Victoria. This generally occurs during spring through to early summer when there is spare capacity in the River Murray (prior to the main irrigation season), with a flow travel time of about 3 and a half weeks.
Peak demand for water along the Murray typically occurs in late summer. Lake Victoria is located downstream of both major irrigation demands and capacity constraints in the River Murray channel, such as the Barmah Choke. As such, the lake can be used to supply water to South Australia when it is not practical to deliver such water via the full length of the Murray. This is generally during this peak season when upstream irrigation diversions are also high. As a result, the majority of releases from Lake Victoria are made during late summer and early autumn.
In drought, a whole-of-system approach is taken. At the end of irrigation season, this strategy minimises the volume of water stored in Lake Victoria and maximises volumes upstream in the much deeper Hume and Dartmouth Reservoirs. This reduces evaporative losses and the chance of spill from the lake should wetter conditions return.
Coordinating operations with the Menindee Lakes
Since 1988, Lake Victoria has been operated in harmony with the Menindee Lakes. This means that if the flow in the River Murray is too low to maintain a suitable storage volume in Lake Victoria, and there is sufficient water in the Menindee Lakes, water is transferred from Menindee down to Lake Victoria instead of extra water being released from Hume Reservoir. As with transfers from Hume Reservoir, transfers from Menindee are most often made during the period from late spring into summer. In hot weather, storing water in Lake Victoria over the Menindee Lakes is beneficial as less water is lost to evaporation.
Once autumn begins, less water is moved from Menindee to Lake Victoria, maximising the draw on Lake Victoria to meet South Australia's water entitlements. Emptying Lake Victoria like this enables it to be refilled using surplus River Murray flows in the following winter-spring period, which would otherwise spill and be lost if the lake was full of water from Menindee.
The exact amount of water supplied from Menindee and stored in Lake Victoria is dependent upon end-of-month trigger levels in Lake Victoria and whether or not the water is available in the Menindee Lakes.
Salinity management
Lake Victoria is also used to buffer the flow of saline water to South Australia by a process of diversion and dilution. At times when water passing through Lock 9 on the River Murray becomes more saline than the water in Lake Victoria, flow through the lock is minimised which forces more water up Frenchman's Creek and into the lake. The saline water is then diluted by the lake water and flows back into the Murray. Should Lake Victoria be more saline than water at Lock 9, flow through the lock on the River Murray is maximised while releases from the lake's outlet regulator are minimised.
Environmental flows
In recent years, Lake Victoria has been used to supplement peak flood flows in the lower Murray, to partially compensate for the impacts of upstream river regulation and water resources development.
During spring in 2000, 2 separate and distinct flood peaks were enhanced to improve the connectivity of the lower Murray floodplain. On each occasion, water was stored in Lake Victoria prior to the arrival of the flood peak, and as the peak arrived, water was released from Lake Victoria to increase the size of the peak. In addition, weir pools — the water stored behind a weir — along the Lower Murray were raised to increase floodplain inundation. This produced a significantly larger area of inundation than would have otherwise occurred.
The spring 2000 events demonstrate the important role that Lake Victoria plays in managing environmental flows in the lower Murray, in addition to its role in securing water resources. Growing awareness of the importance of small-to-moderate floods to the lower Murray floodplain means this style of operation is likely to become more frequent in the future. In planning this type of operation, it is important to consider the environmental objectives of the entire system.
Aboriginal cultural heritage
Lake Victoria has a complex archaeological and historical significance to Aboriginal people and European settlers.
Traditionally, Lake Victoria was a key centre for the Maraura people — a sub-group of the Barkindji. The lake's cultural heritage ensures that it remains important to Aboriginal people today. Artefacts from around the lake indicate a dense pattern of Aboriginal settlement and inhabitation from about 18,000 years ago until the arrival of Europeans in the mid nineteenth century. Stone tools, hearths, grindstones and midden heaps litter the south-eastern shores of the lake.
The sandy areas around Lake Victoria contain Aboriginal burial grounds. However, the extent of the burials was not known until 1994 when the lake was lowered to perform maintenance on the outlet regulator. The sheer number of burials prompted the then Murray–Darling Basin Commission to undertake an archaeological survey. Aboriginal elders were consulted on how best to care for the burial sites and the MDBC initiated protection measures, with local Aboriginal people employed to do much of the work. All of the exposed burials are now protected.
The 1994 study resulted in changes to the way that Lake Victoria is used as a water storage facility. Local stock grazing, as well as artificially high water levels in the 70 years the lake functioned as a reservoir, contributed to the loss of shoreline vegetation and erosion, exposing Aboriginal cultural heritage material. To minimise further such impacts, the MDBC developed a Cultural Landscape Plan of Management (CLPM) in close consultation with local landholders, Aboriginal communities and governments.
Lake Victoria Operating Strategy
Contained within the CLPM is the Lake Victoria Operating Strategy which aims to stabilise the lake foreshore and protect cultural heritage sites by promoting the growth of native vegetation. The periodic lowering of the lake in late summer and early autumn ensures a drying cycle that encourages the establishment of vegetation. As an additional step, when the lake's water level reaches a sensitive height zone on the shore, the water level is altered to minimise the likelihood of wave erosion.
The Lake Victoria Operating Strategy aims to ensure a balance between water users, traditional owners and the environment.

|| Dress: Keepsake || Earrings: Baublebar ||
The inverted pleats on this white dress by Keepsake give the otherwise feminine look a flirty edge. I love that the dress has pockets and the boned bodice slims the waist.
Each of these looks are unique and would make a perfect pick for date night. Spring is definitely a time for budding relationships and, speaking of which, I want to shift the conversation away from fashion and focus on the relationship we have with ourselves.
I often find that many women (such as myself) spend too much time focusing on their imperfections and insecurities – particularly when starting a new relationship. I can't tell you how many times I've compared myself to other girls; wishing for their hair, skin or body types. Sometimes, I've even let my own insecurities get in the way of my relationships with others so much so that it even ruins them. The reason I ruined those relationships is simple: I didn't love myself.
Last night, I watched the movie Good Will Hunting for the first time in a while and I had forgotten what great messages the film has to offer. The film is about a psychologist helping a troubled yet brilliant young man fix his relationship with himself; thus, breaking down the walls he builds with others.
Robin Williams plays the psychologist in the movie and in one scene he says, "You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other."
The young man is discouraged from pursuing a relationship because he is afraid the woman will find all his imperfections. Williams goes onto encourage him saying, "People call those imperfections, but no, that's the good stuff," and he couldn't be more accurate.
I have learned I needed to change one of the most important relationships in my life: the one I have with myself. We live in a world dominated by social media and maintaining your self-worth can be challenging. I find it really helps to take time out of every day to spend solely on myself: whether that be taking the dog for a walk, reading a good book, laying on the sundeck or even just painting my nails. I like doing something each day that makes me feel good about myself. Never try to change who you are for someone else.
A key factor to our happiness is to not only accept ourselves for who we are but love ourselves for who we are, because it is only when we love ourselves that we can truly allow others to love us.
My mother recently told me, "If you change yourself to focus on the positives, you'll be amazed at how much your life and relationships will change in return," and she was exactly right.

A Master Passes
Painter Joseph Solman died last week at the age of 99. In these pages last fall, Albert Fayngold penned a timely appreciation for this "fabulously gifted yet woefully underappreciated American master."
Western Walls Aplenty
News from Sotheby's London is that the it will auction "The Wailing Wall, Jerusalem," by German-born Jewish artist Gustav Bauernfeind. The estimate given in the press release is £600,000-800,000. It's the latest in a line of pictorial depictions of the site to hit the auction block, as Jeannie Rosenfeld reported last month. And, compared to Vasili Vereshchagin's "Solomon's Wall" — sold by rival house Christie's for $3,624,000 — the Bauernfeind looks almost like a steal.
Eye on the Book Review: Stubbed Out and Dressed Up
A word of praise for an oft-overlooked genre: the newspaper illustration. This past Sunday's New York Times Book Review offered the Jewishly minded reader two especially good examples of the art — drawings that with a few quick brushstrokes manage to capture their subject's essence.
The first, accompanying Christopher Hitchens's new book, "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything," came in the form of an ashtray with stubbed-out cigarettes forming the symbols of the three great monotheistic religions: the cross, the crescent and the Star of David. Now for those who don't know, Hitchens is a proud and heavy smoker who wrote with passion against the cigarette ban instituted in New York by Mike Bloomberg some years ago. And so, in artist Christoph Niemann's relatively simple picture you have conveyed three quite complicated concepts — Hitchens, religion and a good measure of disgust.

Fantagraphics sets fall debut for the Complete Pogo ('for real this time')
One of the few certainties of comics blogging is that any reaction to news of a major archival collection from Fantagraphics Books — say, the Mickey Mouse strips of Floyd Gottfredson or, just this week, the complete Donald Duck stories of Carl Barks — will include a chorus of "I'm still waiting on Pogo." That's a reference, of course, to the planned 12-volume collection of The Complete Pogo Daily & Sunday Comics Strips by Walt Kelly, announced in February 2007. Although the series was set to debut in October of that year, to date no volumes have been released.
But the publisher promises that's about to change. "[A] new year is upon and it's time to 'fess up about all the late Fantagraphics titles you were expecting to have by now, and don't, because we suck," Co-Publisher Kim Thompson writes on the company's blog. "Specific apologia and weaseling have been added to some titles, others we just pass under mortified silence. 2011 will be better!"
He follows that admission with updates on some 22 titles, including the first volume of The Complete Pogo, which is now set for release this fall. "Yes, seriously, for real this time," Thompson writes. He also previews the cover for that first collection, which you can see above.

From Chapter 13: Cultures of Obedience & Cultures of Freedom
Library of Congress Control #2011937655
In the evolution of human communities, as soon as communities became large enough to require organization and institutions, the functioning of those institutions required that individuals comport themselves consistently with that functioning. Otherwise, the institutions could not function, and members of the community would suffer. This led to a culture in which the principle of obedience to the requirements of the institutions was paramount. Prior to recent times, all organized societies shared this principle. Failure to adhere to it was feared as leading to social chaos and consequent violence and poverty, for it was easily perceived that there was a natural temptation to disobey. Plato, in the Republic, takes it for granted that the important question is not what is good for individual persons but what is good for the city-state.
But Plato and Aristotle are beginning to move away from the idea of an obedience culture. They reject the traditional idea that the gods are jealous of their secrets. Aristotle argues, perhaps illogically, that God could not be jealous, because the best thing we can do is to be as godlike as we can, and that entails seeking to understand things as well as we can. The author of the Adam and Eve story thought it obvious that the gods would see it as a trespass on their privileges if humans were to become godlike by eating the fruit of both the tree of knowledge and the tree of life. But Aristotle is thinking of God, not on the model of an emperor or tyrant, jealous of his power and in fear of rivals, but on the model of the ideal father and head of a family, not jealous of his children but eager to set them a good example and give them the best education.
In mediaeval Europe, a major move away from obedience culture was made with the courtly love tradition and the idea of a conflict between romantic love and arranged marriage in the interest of family connections. From then until now innumerable romances have been written on the plot of the triumph of marrying for love over marrying for family connections in obedience to family demands.
This draws attention to an interesting fact: Obedience cultures, or those with a literary component, have long contained the seeds of freedom culture in the form of poems and stories about person-to-person interactions and emotions.
In our time, the idea of an individual-centred way of life is being carried around the world by romance novels, Hollywood movies, and soap operas, and in general the symbols of Western culture. When individuals, especially women, get a taste of this idea, they like it.
But even when I was a child obedience culture was still very much alive. Elementary and high school seem in retrospect to have been largely obedience training. It is really since World War II that the individual-centred way of life, with its ideal of personal freedom, has become dominant in Western Europe and North America. (An incidental symptom of this is the decline of the holy orders in the Catholic Church.) The United Nations charter of human rights may have been signed by many nations, but I think, only half-heartedly by most of them. Their deep conviction is that rights belong to the institutions of society and duties belong to individuals. This is why, for example, the Chinese government is deaf to Western criticisms of their "abuses of human rights". Those criticisms seem to them to have no bearing on social reality and the need to avoid disorder. Osama bin Laden and others of his persuasion are, it seems to me, engaged in a rather desperate program of preserving an obedience culture against the onslaught of the popular appeal of American culture. He has said that his program is one of revenge — "You kill us, we kill you," but the deeper motive is that of religious reactionaries everywhere — a rearguard action in defence of obedience culture.
In defence of their view it must be said that freedom culture is more difficult than obedience culture. For freedom culture to be workable, individuals must be educated to a sense of moral responsibility not dependent on the concept of an external authority. In the absence of such an education, the defenders of obedience culture are in the right. And we see what happens in parts of the world where that sort of education is lacking when individuals acquire political power — they see it as an opportunity for wealth and self-aggrandizement. Obedience culture is not to be condemned. Rather, the conditions for the workability of a culture of freedom should be cultivated.

"History mixed with a great story"
It was a complex story but had so many twists and turns you just had to keep listening.
I don't think I have heard or read a book quite like this one.
This master story teller is a master at accents and different voices.
My favourite character was the narator, despite his flawed character and bad past.
"Thoroughly enjoyable"
This is the third Goddard book I've listened to and I found it to be quite engrossing. The plot has plenty of good twists, some which can be foreseen. However, even when a revelation was expected, I still was eager to see how Goddard would present it. The narrator was excellent. I particularly enjoyed his Churchill. It has been lots of fun and I'm sorry to find I'm in the last hour of listening.
"A high-quality, long-arc thriller"
After this paragraph, spoilers abound, but right now you're safe. If you've never read a Goddard novel, do it. His stories are long, complex and wholly satisfying if not entirely original. I read a lot of thrillers and mysteries, so quite often I can predict how a plot point is going to turn. The thing of it is, Goddard binds his readers to the story with this knowledge not by astounding you every five minutes with some fantastical twist. He doesn't need smoke and mirrors to keep a reader going. He does it by knowing how to set tension, creating interesting characters that still have surprises up their sleeves and by helping you get ahead of the story and urging the protagonist to catch up. I've read his first novel (this one) and his latest (Long Time Coming) and both are equally good; quality, long-arc thrillers spiced with historical detail and real-life characters. I will definitely read more.
Spoilers set to kill.
While only my second Goddard novel, I'm not surprised at how he weaves his tales. This one is long and complex with lots of players, but I loved every minute of it. Edwin's memoir is so tantalizing as a device and for itself and so was the search for the post-script. As soon as its existence was revealed I knew where it had to be hidden and silently urged Martin to think and could hardly bear his fumbling when I knew where it was all along! It takes a deft hand to tie a reader to the story so completely. The current trend seems to want to only do this with unknowable and unforeseeable twists in the story, but Goddard does it with knowledge, binding you to his protagonists through mutual desire for success.
From Martin's dissipated self-interest to Eve's two-faced game playing and Edwin's ineffectual victimhood the story never felt slack or stale even though I could guess a lot of it. What else but a secret marriage would be Edwin's undoing? What else could have been Martin's undoing? Of course Eve was not as she seemed. Alex was on shaky ground to begin with. And of course Elizabeth would always be the long-suffering innocent. The only thing that threw me was Leo's ultimate purpose. It seemed really strange to me that he'd take out his vitriol and long-distilled hatred on an innocent old woman who had nothing to do with his circumstances. Strange, but the way he morphed from kindly patron to vicious criminal mastermind was very well done. Sure he was a bit of a cliché and the whole gun incident set up the penultimate ending, with Martin's reward at the end being the capper. Satisfying if not wholly original. I'll definitely read more of Goddard in future.
"WAY too long for the amount of plot."
It would have made a good read at three-quarters it's length.
Oh yes, this is first Robert Goddard that has disappointed me.
Adequate. Rather 1960's BBC news voice.
No. Took all my energy to get to the end!
"Goddard is a Special Writer"
This is one of those rare books that will make you wish you haven't read / listened to it just so the pleasure of it would still be in your future. Goddard's prose is highly eloquent. His use of language is simply stunning. The characters have the right amount of depth and complexity while still being possible to relate to them. The story is not very high octane, but it is very gripping. A nearly perfect book in many respects.
"More like this, please!"
Top 5 books both for story and narration
The author gives you enough hints to figure out what is going before the protagonist does BUT you never really know what is going to happen next.
I liked the fact that Paul Shelley wasn't "performing" but just reading the story in a captivating but calm voice that let the story and all the characters shine through. The novel was the star, not Paul Shelley, and that is the mark of a great narrator for me.
Elizabeth, Edwin, and Martin. They were the key characters that made the story real and compelling.
I loved this book. Aside from Dying To Tell, it is my favorite Robert Goddard novel. Paul Shelley is a great reader too! Please give him more narration work! I would listen to a book for his narration.
"Interesting premise but slow-moving"
It could have been a lot shorter. The central mystery is presented several times from different viewpoints. I'm not that good at guessing in mysteries but here it was pretty obvious where things were going. I also thought some of the characters weren't very realistic.
Maybe a shorter one to see if it was more tightly written. I did like the combination of history, politics and mystery.
The narration was quite good, it definitely helped keep me interested.
Not all of it. I am a fast reader on paper so I think that would have been a better format where I could have skimmed through parts.
You have to suspend disbelief that someone would write a memoir with long conversations reproduced verbatim.
"A lovely relaxing read"
Past Caring is a good book with an interesting plot and well woven characters. I enjoyed it !
"What a storyteller!"
One of the best moments in Audiobook listening is trying out a new author and feeling you've struck gold, that you'll want to 'mine' their other books before you're done. Robert Goddard was completely new to me and I don't remember how I chose to put this book in my wishlist. But he's a terrific writer and I will definitely read more. I would call his writing style 'leisurely', but it never drags. The plot twists are amazing, but they are consistent with what we know of the characters and life in general. The plot twists are startling, yet plausible at the same time, making it a very good story. It's the kind of book you want to keep listening to for hours, ignoring everything else, including sleep. The narrator was top notch and I would choose him again.

Considering the impression of global economic downturn, our crew of experts has achieved thorough analysis of the hybrid automotive market worldwide. Sergio has successfully built-in Fiat/Chrysler into a true global participant, an historic achievement" say automotive industry insiders, with gross sales going via the roof." The 2 manufacturers have surpassed the goal for market share, from eleven% to 12 half of% (which is massive in the car enterprise apparently), and Chrysler alone has surpassed the focused 2 million in unit sales.
The 10% ceiling on imported automobiles, and the fact that Proton has refused, regardless of repeated probing by the Government, to conclude a strategic partnership with a world vehicle firm reveal just how disconnected our car trade is with the rest of the world.
On Tuesday, Ford introduced that it had scrapped plans to build a brand new $1.6 billion small-automotive manufacturing unit in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and can as a substitute make investments some of that money in a U.S. factory near Detroit that can build new electrical and autonomous autos.
The nation is expected to prime the world in car volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on the nation's roads by Financial progress of this business is indicated by the amount of products and providers produced which give the capability for transportation and enhance the sale of automobiles.

Wings (2)
Tuesday, July 08, 2008 by Houston, Photography, under
I'm always fascinated by aviation photography, most probably fueled by my love for airplanes and fighter jet.
My passion for these amazing flying machines was introduced by my god parents when I visit them in Taiwan long long time ago. I was about 4' tall at that time maybe even shorter. My god father like to bring my younger brother and I to some bookstores, he like to read, a good habit he told us. There's where I found some colorful books with tons of amazing pictures of fighter jets. From then on I have collected many many books of jets and commercial airline. Admiring their beauty and studying their specification and capability has became a big hobby.
Though my passion for airplanes has kind of degraded a little over the years, mainly because I have found many other hobbies I like too, admiring airplanes is still my favorite.
These shots were taken in Intercontinental Airport Houston (IAH). I can't wait for the airshow this October, it'll be my first airshow with a DSLR, Oooo..., goose bump!

4 out of 5 - Almost Perfect -
My fiance and I bought these for our mothers to give at the rehearsal dinner. I love the inscription, but what would have made it perfect is if the engraving was a little deeper (more legible from a distance), which is why I gave it a 4.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
4 out of 5 - mom's vase -
Barbara & Ken (Milwaukee)
Beautiful vase. Very heavy glass. My name was not engraved on it, so I had to take it to another vendor. I am not certain if I had requested that as an option, or if I missed that page in the ordering sequence. I was very stressed until I found a place that could engrave it for me.
Recommend: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
5 out of 5 - So BEAUTIFUL! -
I was very pleased when the vase arrived. The engraving was beautiful and I know will be a treasure for my Mom. Thank you for such a classic piece.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
5 out of 5 - Mother's Large Vase w/ Poem -
I was hesitant to purchase this vase because of the other reviews. Some said the engraving is very light. However, I am extremely satisfied with this product. The engraving is perfect and very visible. Would highly recommend. My mom will love this!
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
5 out of 5 - gift -
Caroline (Louisburg)
Look great! We're giving this to my soon-to-be mother-in-law at our rehearsal dinner. Perfect for the occasion.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

5 out of 5 - Awesome -
My mother cried when i gave her this vase.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
5 out of 5 - Very nice vase -
Trisha (Martinsburg, WV)
My fiance purchased this vase for his mother. The vase is beautiful. We took it to have his name engraved at a local trophy shop and they refused to engrave it because they could not meet the high quality engraving done by the manufacturer. His mother is going to love this gift. We are both very satisfied with this purchase.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
4 out of 5 - Cute -
Lindsey (Morgan City, LA)
I thought the engraving would have been a little different. Almost feels like it could be washed off. But overall it is very cute and I can't wait to give it to my mom.
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
1 out of 5 - Vase -
The engraving is far too light, and the vase was poorly packed and came broken
Recommend: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
3 out of 5 - Arrived with no poem inscribed on it -
Anonymous (Long Beach, ca)
I ordered this vase along with a few other items.. While the vase was larger than I expected it to be, it arrived just as a vase with no poem inscribed on it. I was quite displeased to see that, but I was happy to know that customer service took care of the situation very quickly and shipped me a new one without having to wait for me to ship the blank one back. I will let you know how the vase looks with the poem when it arrives
Recommend: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Ikea: Friend or Foe?
Really, I should know better than to let myself go to Ikea alone. Mom is my voice of reason when the buying frenzy comes over me. I want to buy whole rooms at Ikea and make them mine. I want my house to look as adorable and organized as those rooms. It's marketing genius. And it's the Devil Incarnate, too.
I came home with this lovely bookshelf/storage unit for my bedroom. Now the trick is that it weighs 138lbs. Says so right on the package. The package that's still in my car's trunk because Mom & I can't lift it, so we're going to have to tear open the box and load it in the house piece by piece. And then assemble it. But since it weighs so much, I figure I should paint the wall in my bedroom where it's going to live so I don't have to move it again when I get around to painting. But that means I've actually got to haul out the brushes and tape and all the other painting paraphernalia that goes along with it. Just thinking about it all makes me want to sit on the sofa and bead.
I also bought this cool curtain panel system that allows you to layer panels, or use your own fabrics to make panels. I'll take a photo when I get the whole thing up and working.
And then I'm also planning on buying this dresser, but it only comes in yellow and red and white, so I'm buying the yellow and then will paint it. Originally I was thinking I'd paint it dark brown like the bookcase. But maybe I'll be more playful and paint it deep purple instead. But I've been saved for now because they're currently out of stock of it. I think I've got my hands full enough this weekend already, don't you??

Louisville, Kentucky
Total Square Feet:
Construction Period:
Oct 2002 to June 2004
STRUCTURAL ENGINEER: Stanley D. Lindsey & Associates, Ltd. - 1801 West End Avenue, #400, Nashville, TN 37203
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: BosseMattingly Constructors, Inc. - 2116 Plantside Drive, Louisville, KY 40299

Preston Pointe is a mixed-use structure featuring speculative office and retail space on five full-size floors, plus 9,800 square feet of two-story residential condominiums on the two partial floors (6 and 7) above. The project was developed by PM Partners, LLC and designed by Henry M. Potter, AIA, president of Potter & Associates Architects, PLLC and PM Partners, LLC.
The complex includes a below-grade parking area for 45 cars and an additional 32 parking spaces on grade. The mechanicals are hidden from view on the eighth floor and occupy the majority of the remaining attic space sloping to the summit.
Preston Pointe was built on a vacant piece of downtown land that fronts two streets with the Ohio River serving as a backdrop. The building seeks to re-establish the urban street line and corner with a design that reflects the low scale and rhythm of the buildings along Main Street, but at the same time sweeps to a 13-story height on the north and west elevations, which face the river, to emphasize the kinetic activity which is occurring along Louisville's new waterfront redevelopment area.
Brushed stainless steel panels were chosen as the cladding to complement this sense of activity through its reflective nature. The finish level of the brushed stainless steel panels was carefully determined to avoid reflectivity that would bother passing motorists. "We adjusted the finish level of the steel to a 4 rather than the 8 we had originally planned," Henry Potter, AIA, reports. "The stainless steel makes the building ever-changing and alive. It has become a real landmark.
The roof of Preston Pointe consists of custom designed steel girder trusses, firetreated plywood underlayment and gluedown Sarnafil roofing material. A void on the corner allows for an entrance from both streets at the first floor and also provides for a 1,200-square-foot earthen garden and terrace on each of the other commercial floors for tenants' use.
The eastern part of downtown Louisville along the river has found new life in recent years. The rebirth is attributable to a variety of factors, beginning about 1985, when Potter and some of the same partners involved in Preston Pointe converted the old Kentucky Lithography plant at 600 East Main into an office and residential complex called Billy Goat Strut. The former Belknap Hardware complex at First and Main was remodeled around the same time, and then the national headquarters of the Presbyterian Church (USA) moved in. "This is an area that has sprung back to life within the past few years, and we're thrilled to be able to contribute to it," Potter says.

Pasternak was acclaimed as a major poet some 30 years before Doctor Zhivago (1955) made him world famous. After first pursuing promising careers in music and philosophy, he started to write around 1909 and published his first collection of verse in 1914. His first genuine triumph came with the collection My Sister, Life (1917), in which a love affair stimulates a rapturous celebration of nature. The splendid imagery and difficult syntax of this volume are a hallmark of the early Pasternak. During the 1920s, Pasternak tried to accept the reality of the new society and moved from the lyric to the epic, taking up historical and contemporary subjects. The long poem The Year 1905 (1926) is an example. While tolerated by the literary establishment, Pasternak turned increasingly in the 1930s to translation rather than original verse. He was a prolific translator; his versions of major Shakespeare plays are the standard texts used in Soviet theaters. From the start, however, prose was an important focus for Pasternak. The most notable early work is the story "Zhenia's Childhood," written in 1918, which explored a girl's developing consciousness of her surroundings. There is also his artistic and intellectual autobiography Safe Conduct (1931). But Pasternak's greatest prose achievement came later with the novel Doctor Zhivago, written over a number of years and completed in 1955. Its hero, a physician and poet, confronts the great changes of the early twentieth century including world war, revolution, and civil war, and travels a path through life that creates a parallel between his fate and that of Christ. (The theme of preordained sacrifice is strengthened by the cycle of poems included as the last section of the book.) Doctor Zhivago was rejected for publication but appeared in 1957 in the West and won its author worldwide acclaim. A Nobel Prize followed in 1958. This led the Soviet authorities to launch a major public campaign against Pasternak and to make his personal life even more difficult. So successful were they that the poet officially turned down the award. After that, he was left in relative peace and died two years later. He was but the first of many writers in the post-Stalin period to challenge the Soviet state. During the 1970s and 1980s, Pasternak's heritage was cautiously brought into public purview in the Soviet Union. The Gorbachev period saw the removal of all restrictions on his work, and publication of Doctor Zhivago followed at long last. Several major editions of Pasternak's writings have appeared.
Susan Sontag, an influential cultural critic with a Harvard master's degree in philosophy, is noted for taking radical positions and venturing outrageous interpretations. Proclaiming a "new sensibility," she supported the cause of pop art and underground films in the 1960s. Her reputation as a formidable critic has been established by numerous reviews, essays, and articles in the New York Review of Books, the N.Y. Times, Harper's, and other periodicals. Against Interpretation (1966) includes her controversial essay "Notes on Camp," first published in Partisan Review. The title of the book introduces her argument against what she sees as the distortion of an original work by the countless critics who bend it to their own interpretations. "The aim of all commentary on art," she writes, "should be to make works of art---and, by analogy, our own experience---more, rather than less, real to us." Sontag has a mature modernist sensibility, but manages to depict the avant-garde in language accessible to any reader. She has lectured extensively around the United States and has taught philosophy at Harvard, Sarah Lawrence, and Columbia. She is a frequent and popular television discussion personality, particularly on contemporary issues of illness or feminism, although many feminists are unhappy that she does not declare herself to be a "feminist critic." She is also, less successfully, a fiction writer.
