We've been big Hunger Games fans for the past two years, so of course we left the kids at home and RAN to see the movie. We know what you're thinking….Why would we post this if the kids were left at home? Well, some of our readers asked us to do a few posts for parents with older kids. The Hunger Games definitely fits the bill for kids [Read more…]

July 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment
When your child travels through Atlanta airport, they will enjoy Delta Sky Zones. The club's features include stylish furniture and X-Box 360 video games with individual play stations! (Where was this when we were kids?) The Club accommodates children as young as age 8 up to mid-teens.
Not flying though Atlanta? No worries, Delta is planning on adding Delta Sky Zones in other hubs next year!

baleen played a CD Release Party Saturday night at The Evening Muse, screening tracks and playing selected live cuts from the band's upcoming release, Soundtrack to a Normal Life. The Muse was standing room only for the show, which saw some of the band's LiquiLab label-mates in attendance, including the Houston Brothers' Matt Faircloth and First Night On Earth's Wes Grasty. Those on hand could order a specialized, metal-box version of the album, customized and personalized. An overhead projector presented the names of songs from the disc on the wall behind the stage as folks nibbled on asparagus and finger foods (a table of hors d' oeuvres was also set up, most notably featuring a basket of the explosive candy Pop Rocks, that staple of appetizers). The main course, however, was more than enough to fill one up. Playing an intelligent blend of free jazz, funk, and melodic Brit guitar rock, the band's performance established themselves as a potential force in the local music scene. Drummer Phil Disher can more than keep up with some of the group's pre-recorded, mechanized drum beats, and ex-X-periment members Derrick Hines, Steve McMillan and Tony McCollough give an exotic sprinkling of texture to guitarist Mike Vagianos' songs. Singer/saxophonist McCollough is worth the price of admission by himself. Able to shift from a Miles-like, slowly played melody to Coltrane-esque free jazz skronk at the drop of a high-hat, he may be the single best virtuoso musician in town. On any instrument. Named after a whale, this band could well be the Moby Dick of the local scene with a few more shows like this. --TCD
Thanksgiving Champs Plenty of folks (and a few fashion plates) were on hand at the Visulite Theatre last Wednesday to party it up on the eve before Thanksgiving. Among the crowd was Chris Shinn, son of George, who was in town for the holiday. The younger Shinn, who now spends his time fronting the Los Angeles based band Unified Theory, is obviously much more liked than his pop as mostly hugs and handshakes greeted him. The indulgent Alternative Champs dressed in their stretchy best (a la Olivia Newton-John "Physical" era) kicked things off with their lounge-act meets Ween funky musical odyssey. The Champs, led by Jolene's Mike Mitschele (although he could've passed for Loverboy's Mike Reno with that headband), can't be taken too seriously nor too literally...it's probably just best to watch with an open mind. Up next was the local collective known as Les Dirt Clods. In case you didn't know, that's French for The Dirt Clods, a fact that provided one older fella at the bar with a nice icebreaker as he tried to impress some of the ladies with his accent (which didn't appear to work). Finishing up the night was the flamboyant ensemble known as Snagglepuss, who kept in the holiday spirit by dressing up as Pilgrims and Indians. Lead singer Hope Nicholls' ultra-hip pilgrim garb (including pink braided pig-tails) prompted one audience member to coo, "She's the coolest pilgrim I've ever seen." -- LF
No Rain! Emotions ran the gamut on Sunday at Ericsson Stadium as the Carolina Panthers tried for a win against regional rivals, the Atlanta Falcons. The crowd, which was slightly larger than I expected since clouds and the chance of rain loomed overhead, was an even mix between family folk and party-hard tailgaters. One poor soul seated near us fell victim to the "Celebrity Look-A-Like" hijinks shown from the jumbo-tron screens during one of the quarter breaks. The guy was surprisingly pegged for Jim Nabors and the ridicule he received from his friends was harsh, but a little humorous for those of us sitting near 'em. From what I could tell, most everyone kept an optimistic attitude as toddlers chanted "Go Weinke!" -- until of course, late in the fourth quarter when it was obvious the Panthers were about to lose their 10th game in a row. (The final score was 10-7.) Coach Seifert was certainly on the receiving end of most insults as people headed for the exits in true Panther fan fashion -- before the ending buzzer -- and a few of the frustrated and intoxicated even yelled "Die Seifert" as they stumbled through the stands. But despite the team's current game record, there's still plenty of incentives to attract folks to the games: parking is easy to find and traffic is almost nonexistent; tickets are extremely cheap (and sometimes free if you hold out until right before kick-off) and a few of the street vendors are slashing prices on their Panthers' merchandise. Did I mention they lowered beer prices to $4 this season, too? -- LF

Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair said the FDIC may shelve its use of rating agencies in setting insurance premiums for large banks.
At a Washington conference Wednesday, Bair also confirmed plans to securitize some failed-bank assets and touted proposed restrictions on private-sector securitizations.
Since 2007 the FDIC has used debt ratings along with other risk factors to calculate premiums for banks with assets of more than $10 billion that issue long-term debt.
But Bair said that could change amid scrutiny over how private rating agencies performed before the mortgage meltdown.
"I'm embarrassed to say our insurance assessments are in part based on long-term debt ratings, and so we are going to be dealing with that and replacing it with something, I think, where we'll be doing our own analysis," she said in a speech to the Commercial Mortgage Securities Association.

The holiday season is jam packed with frenetic activity. Once the momentum of visiting and celebrating is reached and passed, there is a palatable letting down that brings with it a feeling of loss and disappointment that "it's all over". It's important to take the time to be aware that this emotional vacuum is only temporary. Think good thoughts about yourself and the coming New Year. Above all, have hope that you are exactly where you should be and that you are on…Continue

I bought three different mugs today for extended family for Christmas and was so pleased that my shopping was now done. Once home though, I discovered I had two of the same mug. I was loathe to go out and battle the traffic again so I called and explained my predicament. "No problem. We'll bring you the right mug to your door and take the other one back," said Mike, one of the store's salespeople. I was surprised and delighted by such gracious service. True to his…Continue

Wow! This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. For a first novel, Ginny Jaques sure knows how to grab the reader right from the instant the book begins and not let go. The description is magnificent, the characters varied and believable, and the action is well paced. Despite the fact that this is a really long book, I didn't want to stop reading until I reached the final page.
The book is set in the not too distant future when a worldwide government has been…Continue

Living by Faith
Living by faith is not just for missionaries. Every one of us is living moment to moment by faith. We believe (aka. "Have faith") that our heart is going to keep beating. This faith is so deep that we don't even think about it. We simply expect it to happen. We are creatures of faith. Whether we realize it or not, this living by faith spills into our daily occupational life also.

This time of year brings with it overloaded schedules for many of us: work deadlines, holiday planning, parties, school concerts, gift buying, decorating, baking - in the midst of the usual routine. Sometimes the thought of getting it all done can be overwhelming. Remedy? Stop, stay still and breathe. A few moments like this may just ground you to the point of saying, "I don't need to/have to do all these things." Dispense with the unimportant and better yet,…Continue

The length of the cues we are forced to stand in becoming longer. It's a happy time a time for rejoicing while mixing with those that you love.

Grief - it's a word we can all relate to, if we have ever suffered the pain of losing someone close to us. It's a word that is associated with love, the empty feeling it leaves behind as the bottom of our world falls out. It's a word that is associated with death, as we try to move on in our lives without that special person. Buts death has many guises. So what relevance has it here? Let's explore that question together. To my mind there are so many other things that we grieve for. The loss…Continue

Self harm is a very conversational subject, and one that many people skirt around or as they say tread lightly.
Let's first turn our attention to the outside world looking in. We are an unstable mind deliberately causing untold injury to ourselves, whilst finding or given justification.

Ontario's top court has denied the appeal of a North Bay man convicted of fraud for a "vile and despicable" scheme using photos of sick children to solicit donations that he mostly pocketed.
The trial judge found that Adam Gour collected $450,000 in donations using a group of employees from his non-profit company instructed to pose as volunteers near large stores and on parade routes, the Star reported in November 2012.
The employees were actually paid on commission and Gour kept between 62 and 83 per cent of the profits, states the Ontario Court of Appeal ruling. Less than 3 per cent made it to charity, the ruling says.
The appeal court upheld Superior Court Justice John McIsaac's finding that Gour instructed his employees to pretend to be volunteers when interacting with the public across the province.
The court also rejected the argument that McIsaac was mistaken in using Gour's "failure to disclose a material fact" — that the volunteers were actually paid employees — in coming to a guilty verdict.
"In this case there was extensive evidence that the appellant operated his team of canvassers in a manner calculated to mislead the public," the ruling states. "He also instructed them to state that all money would be disbursed to the families of the affected children and to deny that they were being paid, and he provided pamphlets that claimed that the charity had no paid staff."
The court also upheld Gour's jail sentence of 15 months that was suspended pending appeal.
The jail sentence is appropriate given the circumstances of the case, the appeal court found, noting the trial judge's outraged comments in sentencing Gour.
"The offender's fleecing of the unsuspecting public was vile and despicable when one realizes that he did so using the incentives of unknowing sick and terminally-ill children and their families to line his own pockets," McIsaac said. "I find the extent of moral blameworthiness of the offender to have been at the extreme level."
McIsaac also ordered Gour to pay a $300,000 fine that includes victim's surcharge fees and $500 in restitution.
"Mr. Gour is disappointed with the court's decision," said his lawyer Sam Goldstein on Tuesday, adding that Gour is considering appeal options. "Mr. Gour lived and lives a modest and humble life and he has expressed remorse that not more of the money donated went to sick children."
Gour maintains that he was not responsible for the way the funds were distributed, said Goldstein.
Goldstein said the case is a "cautionary tale" for both people starting fundraising non-profits, which the court holds to a high standard, and to the public in informing themselves better to where their charitable donations are going.

Top 7 niche in ebook writing I will always recommend
Dear Readers! Greetings for the day!
Ebooks do have highly growing business scope. We all are experts in one field and explain it well. If we are told to go with it, we can somehow get the content and keep it going.
Here, are the articles which will be always recommended
EBook writing – Fiction
Just as the name suggests, these eBooks are fictitious in nature. The incidents and characteristics mentioned are based on mere imagination and need not be comparable to reality.
Here are 7 niche to try in fiction based eBook writing.
1. Horror
2. Unsolvable mystery
3. Solvable mystery
4. Romance
5. Humor
6. Diaries
7. Inspirational stories
While in fiction writing, any niche can work anytime, these 7 are called evergreen niche.
EBook writing – non fiction
Non fiction incidents are based on real life incidents. These are based on themes which are beyond imaginations.
A generic theoretical content is boring and hence a specialized one is recommended. Here are top 7 niche genres which work for non fiction based eBook writing.
1. Scientific
Go with specific applications and write like novels. Example: Dan Brown wrote "Digital Fortress"
2. Mathematical
Instead of writing plain boring mathematical fundamentals, try writing application oriented content. Example: "Best application of Mathematics to solve day to day problems."
3. Religious discoveries
No one is going to read plain discourses. Try to convert it to mystery. Example: Elizabeth Clare Prophet wrote "The lost years of Jesus…"
4. Social problems
These are really enchanting. There are many eBooks focusing on plight of woman in any society OR the status of poverty worldwide. If you plan to choose this niche, it is strongly recommended to brush up your knowledge first.
5. Incidents worth sharing
If you think something great happened with you which you can share with rest of the world, please go ahead and write such eBooks. This niche only includes incidents which happened with you and changed your life. Do not write anything imaginary here as that will be easily caught.
6. Motivation from great personalities
While this is most common topic and an exhausted one, you can use it to your best advantage even today. Just include really successful people in a particular discipline in recent time. Example: Takehiko Harda wrote "Management lessons from Taiichi Ohno…"
7. Past teaching us future
Sounds stupidity. Right? How can past / history predict future for anyone? The trick is that we must revisit our history and see the miracles happening on its own. Example: Lance B Kurke wrote "The wisdom of Alexander the Great"
The list mentioned above is just an indicative and not a comprehensive one. If you find any 8th niche in ebook writing which is better than the 7 mentioned here, feel free to add it and share it with rest of the world including me.
Please tell your opinions & experiences via comments.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After defensive end Charles Johnson on Tuesday re-signed on a two-year deal worth $9.5 million with the Carolina Panthers, he's ready to help recruit free-agent defensive end Julius Peppers.
Johnson would like himself and Peppers, 37, to retire with the team that drafted them.
Peppers, who spent the past three seasons playing outside linebacker with the Packers, spent his first eight NFL seasons playing end at Carolina after being made the second pick of the 2002 draft. He still ranks first on the team's all-time sack list with 81.
Johnson, 30, is second with 67.5 since Carolina selected him in the third round of the 2007 draft out of Georgia.
Johnson made it clear Carolina is where he wants to retire and said it would be fitting if Peppers did the same thing in his home state.
"I just want to see him retire a Panther," he said.
General manager Dave Gettleman admitted last week at the NFL combine that Carolina almost brought Peppers back in 2014 when he signed with Green Bay for the opportunity to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme.
"It sounded like it had a reasonable shot, and then the last minute he went to Green Bay," he said.
Johnson said a couple of other teams offered him deals — a league source said he could have made more elsewhere — but none interested him.
"My decision was always to stick with my team," Johnson said. "My passion is here. I'm going to stay where my passion and loyalty is at."
Johnson also sent a special video message to Panthers fans on Twitter:
"We've got two years to get it done," he said. "I'll give you my blood, sweat and tears. I bleed black and blue, and that's going to be 'til I retire."
"It's great to have Charles back," coach Ron Rivera said in a statement. "He has spent his entire career with the Panthers, has emerged as a leader for us in the last few years, and is a big part of the reason we've had the success we've had. We look forward to having Charles continue to be part of our team."
Johnson became known as "Big Money" when he signed a six-year, $76 million deal before the 2011 season that made him the highest-paid player in the NFL.
He was released after the 2015 season, when he had only one sack, to clear $11 million under the salary cap. He re-signed with the Panthers for a one-year, $3 million deal in an effort to prove he wasn't washed up.
"They can't call me 'Big Money' anymore," Johnson said at the time. "They can't say I'm wasted on the cap with this and that. I'm getting paid practice squad money, so I can just go out and play freely without all that extra attention to me."
Johnson, who has been plagued by hamstring injuries over the past two seasons, was lauded by Rivera as Carolina's most consistent defensive lineman in 2016. He had four sacks last season.
Johnson, who has spent his entire career with Carolina, was at his best with the Panthers from 2010 to 2013, when he had 44 sacks.

Coming in the fall of 2018 from She Writes Press:
Public Defender Liana Cohen would give anything to have one client, just one, whom she can believe in. Dozens of hardened criminals and repeat offenders have chipped away at her faith in herself and the system. She needs someone to reignite her passion and salvage her career. Enter imprisoned felon Danny Shea, whose unforgivable crime would raise a moral conflict in an attorney at the height of her idealism – and that hasn't been Liana in quite a while. His conviction on appeal, Liana is assigned to his case. Danny's astonishing blend of confidence and vulnerability intrigues Liana, who finds him intelligent and magnetic. And she believes he's innocent. When Liana wins Danny's release from prison, she finds herself confronted by a man who is single-minded in his determination to be with her. As their attorney-client relationship transforms into something less than arms-length, Liana's whole world is turned upside down. She risks losing everything when Danny's attentions intensify just as her boyfriend, Jakob Weiss, proposes marriage. Liana must decide who she is.

— Linda Fairstein, former Chief, Manhattan DA Sex Crimes Unit and bestselling crime novelist
"Can head and heart possibly make the scales of Justice balance, or must one prevail? Reyna Gentin's first novel, Unreasonable Doubts, is not only intelligent, but deeply moving. She knows the law and she knows her characters. Well done!"
— Susan Isaacs, author of Compromising Positions, After All These Years, and As Husbands Go.
"Reyna Marder Gentin's passion for the law shines in her debut novel. And Gentin's deft exploration of justice, love, and tradition sets Unreasonable Doubts apart. A new talent has arrived!"
― Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, best-selling author of Jewish Literacy: The Most Important Things to Know About the Jewish Religion, Its People and Its History, and the Rabbi Daniel Winter Mystery Series.
"Reyna Marder Gentin's Unreasonable Doubts takes you behind the closed doors of lawyers' offices and courtrooms … a compelling look at the legal system with vivid and unforgettable characters who will keep you up at night, worrying about them."

Welcome to Rossel Coaching ("Naturtro træning")
Here at Rossel Coaching we're all about natural lifestyle. That includes food, parenting, home, work, kids, sleep and of course movement.
We want to make conscious decisions in all major topics of life – which very often requires us to step outside the norm, simply because it feels right to do so.We're husband and wife (Henrik and Tine) and are blessed with two lovely daughters (Elisa and Kamille from the summer '12 and '15). We're both physiotherapists, but Rossel Coaching is in fact developed from the desire to work with our true passions. For Henrik it's movement and nature. For Tine it's natural pregnancy and birth, and living life close to nature.
Take a look around, and even though the website is in Danish, we do a lot of stuff on Facebook and Instagram in English (IG – naturtro_traening and tine.rossel.petersen).
We're always interested in sharing our strategies and knowledge about natural movement and lifestyle, and we enjoy working with people of the same interests. We offer online coaching (movement, lifestyle and pregnancy/birth) and are also interested in doing workshops abroad.
For inquiries or further questions, don't hesitate to contact us here: Denne e-mail adresse bliver beskyttet mod spambots. Du skal have JavaScript aktiveret for at vise den..

Woman says, "Wally, can you review this for any engineering issues?" Wally says, "What issues do you think it has?" Woman says, "I don't know. I'm not an engineer." Wally says, "Your request is too vague. You need to tell me what issues I'm looking for!" Woman says, "Did you just ask me to do what I just asked you to do?" Wally says, "I don't know. I'm an engineer, not a linguist." Woman says, "I've suddenly lost all faith in humanity!" Wally says, "On the plus side, you found an issue."

Sports Day at Walton High will be on Tuesday 19th June. In case of bad weather, it will be necessary to move this to the reserve date of Tuesday 19th June.
The format of our Sports Day has changed this year. The heats will already have been run during PE lessons in advance of this date. All finals will be run on Sports Day.
The Finals will include students from both Walnut Tree and Brooklands campuses and will commence at 12noon. It is anticipated that Sports Day will have finished by 3pm.
Inevitably, residents may experience some noise from the PA system, but speakers will face away from residential buildings and noise will be kept to a minimum. Many apologies in advance for any inconvenience caused.
Student expectations:
* Everyone in full PE kit
* Bring a drink of water
* Wear a sun hat
* Use sun tan lotion

- Family Inceptions Blog
Have you ever been described as compassionate, generous or caring? Are you constantly being thanked for your help? Do you want to make a wonderful contribution to someone else's life? Do you enjoy being pregnant? If you answered yes to these four questions, then you might be that special kind of person who could possibly give the greatest gift ever: the gift of life.
Think back and remember the joy and excitement you experienced when you felt your own baby kick for the first time. As your child grew, you realized how precious he was and how fortunate you were as a mother. By becoming a gestational surrogate, you can help build a family for couples or individuals who are not able to conceive or carry a baby on their own. Family Inceptions would like to assist you in the gratifying opportunity of becoming a surrogate by providing you with the fundamental building blocks of the surrogacy process.
For the month of September, Family Inceptions School is in Session and we want to educate you on the basics of how to become a surrogate. The school bell has rung so grab your seat and get ready to learn the ABC'S: Application process, Benefits of becoming a surrogate and Compensation for carrying!
Application Process: To become a Gestational Surrogate, we at Family Inceptions need to learn some information about your personal and medical history. Our knowledge of your health and medical history allows us to determine if you are compatible with the surrogacy process for Gestational Surrogacy so that it will not involve any increased risks for you. This will also help us to match you to an appropriate recipient.
First, you should know what the requirements are for becoming a surrogate. You must fulfill the following criteria:
● Must be between the ages of 21-40.
● Delivered at least one healthy child that you yourself has raised or is raising.
● No prior pregnancy complications - No deliveries before 35 weeks-unless delivered twins or more.
● No more than 2 c-sections
● No more than 5 deliveries
● Provide proof of support person.
● A willingness to be completely committed to the Intended Parents.
● Adherence to our strict screening and counseling protocol.
● Have a stable financial base - Not receiving any form of government assistance (State funded insurance, Food stamps, WIC, Housing, AFDC)
● Clear a criminal background checks
● Non-Smoker and non-drug user
● Reliable form of transportation.
● U.S. citizenship or permanent residency status.
● Meet height and weight guidelines for your body mass index (BMI).
● Able to provide medical records to clinic.
● Must be willing to undergo a psychological evaluation
● Medical testing will be required of both you and your husband/partner.
● Absence of any active sexually transmitted diseases, cancer, substance abuse, significant medication use, and prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
● Willing to do a home assessment.
Benefits of Becoming a Surrogate: As humans, we express the pro-social behavior of helping that is often motivated by empathy. If your heart goes out to individuals who cannot have children of their own, you can help by becoming a gestational surrogate. There is an emotional reward in helping someone's dream of parenthood become a reality by carrying their child. Going through pregnancy and childbirth to allow another couple to fulfill a dream of becoming parents is a life changing experience. You will forge lifelong bonds and friendships with your intended parents along the way. Being a gestational surrogate is admirable and you will undergo a renewed sense of confidence and fulfillment from your generosity. You are deciding to give someone a gift that is incomparable to any other gift: the gift of a future.
Compensation for Carrying: A price tag cannot be placed on the miracle that you are preparing to gift to another family. However, as a surrogate you would receive monetary compensation for your services. The amount that you could receive as a gestational surrogate varies based on circumstances, yet you do have the potential to receive approximately $35,000 - $50,000. The national average for compensation ranges from $25,000 and $50,000 depending on experience level.
You are not expected to pay anything out of pocket. Your intended parents would attentively take care of expenses that you would incur during your pregnancy. So, unlike your own previous pregnancy, you would not have to worry about the cost of maternity clothes or health insurance. As you graciously assist in building someone else's family, this opportunity will also allow you to enhance your own family's quality of life. You could put a down payment on your first home, remodel your current home or even save the money for your own children's college education.
Thank you for the wonderful gift you are considering giving. To learn more and take that first step, please contact us now by calling us at 844-404-BABY or filling this out https://www.familyinceptions.com/contact

Hillary Clinton told lawmakers Thursday that she did not have a computer in her office, as she also claimed that she did not conduct a lot of her business on email.
Clinton was asked by Rep. Susan Brooks, R-Ind., at the House Committee on Benghazi why there was no record of any emails to or from Clinton about an explosion at the compound in Libya in April 2012.
"What kind of culture was created in the State Department that your folks couldn't tell you in an email about a bomb in April of 2012?" Brooks said.
Clinton faces Benghazi committee
"Well congresswoman, I did not conduct most of the business that I did on behalf of our country on email. I conducted it in meetings, I read massive amounts of memos, great deal of classified information, I made a lot of secure phone calls, I was in and out of the White House all the time," Clinton said.
The former secretary of state emphasized her point by telling Brooks that she did not have a computer in her office.
"If you were to be in my office in the State Department, I did not have a computer, I did not do the vast majority of my work on email," Clinton said.
Clinton was responding to a broader line of questioning about how her email communications about Libya dropped off significantly from 2011 to 2012, when the situation in the country became significantly more dire after the fall of dictator Muammar Qaddafi.

About the Committee
The APEG Clinical Diabetes Network was formed in August 2010 with the purpose of working together to enhance paediatric diabetes management and improve outcomes for children and adolescents with diabetes in Australia and New Zealand.The goals of the network include advocacy, sharing resources and facilitating collaborative research amongst all member groups. Initial priorities include the development of a database and benchmarking. As a first step it will be important to determine the clinical resources available in each centre around Australia and New Zealand.
How to join the committee
Calls for Expressions of Interest (EOI) are sent every 2nd year to all APEG members (in 'even' numbered years) shortly after the AGM. Members are invited to submit their EOI at this time and all applications will be reviewed by APEG Council. The subcommittee is to have no more than 12 members, and the aim is to ensure that no more than 1 person from a hospital is on the subcommittee and each state is well represented.

A wonderful, Short Piece, Excellently Delivered!
I was given this review copy for an unbiased review.
I enjoyed the story as a whole. Such a wonderful period piece. The intonation, cadence, and passion performed by Paul Woodson made the story more enjoyable. His ability to put you into a room like a fly on the wall, watching as the story unfolds is noticed in his smooth, yet capturing delivery. Well Done.

An hour really well spent
Where does The Artist of the Beautiful rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
This is one of the better classical short stories I've listened to or read. In just an hour, Hawthorne, tells a tight and beautiful story about one mans life and obsession with beauty and life. It is bittersweet, but the main character does not view it as so.
Paul Woodson is a superb narrator. Just take a listen to the audio sample, and you'll see what I mean. I generally speed my listening up at least a bit, but did not do it for this one at all. His voice was just too spot on. Plus, I knew it was a short story and I didn't want it to end.
Which scene was your favorite?
The final scene has to be the favorite. I imagine that will the be the case for any listener - which is exactly what a good short story should do.
Any additional comments?
I admittedly really disliked The Scarlet Letter. Did not enjoy it in school, and I tried several years later to give it another chance, and disliked it even more then. I've avoided touching anything else by Hawthorne since. I'm so glad I was given this book to listen and review because now I see there may be a different side to the author that I will enjoy.
I received this book for free from audiobookblast dot com in exchange for an honest review.

Taylor Southgate Bridge Graffiti
Artist Name - Eszpebea
SB? BS? This is Eszpebea's mark.
Selected Works
Southgate Bridge Graffiti - 2012
Southgate Bridge II- 2013
Southgate Bridge III- 2014
The Taylor Southgate Bridge connects Newport, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. On the Cincinnat side, the bridge ends a stone's throw from the Red's ball park and the Cyclone's hockey arena. The bridge gets A LOT of walkers coming from Kentucky to the games.
Southgate Bridge Graffiti 2012
September 2012
We first saw the poetry in July 2012 but don't know when Eszpebea actually started the work. The artist writes on all parts of the bridge - railings, beams, sidewalks and steps. The Kentucky Department of Transportation works almost as hard as Eszpebea to paint over or sand away the work.
What is pictured here are twelve fragments on the bridge beams from the July-August 2012 period. They are all gone now. The last we looked, Eszpebea was doing the sidewalk on the southside of the bridge. It will probably be gone in a couple of weeks but by then the artist will be back somewhere else.
Southgate Bridge II - 2013
March 2013
We returned to Cincinnati in early Spring 2013. As we said above, all of the 'original' graffit was painted over by the Kentucky DOT. However, the structure has be christened a 'Free Art Bridge' and several different artists have taken advantage of it. Eszpebea is back but with more graphics than prose works. There are at least two other artists who have joined in the bridge work.
We expect the DOT to clean up the bridge again once the weather warms. We will be back in Cincinnati in early summer and see how the bridge has changed. As long as Eszpebea and the other artists who have created the bridge's canvas create, we will keep adding to this collection.
Southgate Bridge III - 2014
June 2014
In May 2014, the Kentucky DOT had managed to clean up all the 2013 graffiti. The bridge columns and sweeps stood clean, ready for new art. It did not take long. Seven poems by Eszpebea appeared somewhere between the last week of May and the second week June. We managed to be in town then and captured it before DOT got around to cleaning it up.
What we don't know is whether these poems stand alone by themselves or whether they are part of a new series by Eszpebea. We will not be in Cincinnati for several months so we are asking some friends to check the bridge out every week or so and see if new ones are added or if DOT has done its nefarious work. Stay tuned - we will update this description in mid-July and let you know what happens.
This is people's art at its finest - open, accessible, changing, and beautifully written and drawn.
