Commissions closedJust writing a quick journal to let you guys know I'm closing my commissions for the time being, I haven't been able to complete a few of my last commissions in time and I really hate disappointing my buyers. Besides, I've been doing commissions for several years now and I need to take a rest from it, work on some personal projects I've been meaning to do forever, and such.I also closed my stores. I don't know how long it'll be, but a few months probably. If you really want a commission and don't mind waiting, then I guess you can still commission me Edit: Barely one hour after writing this I received a commission from the only person I can't reject: my mom. Hi mom! When you read this don't feel bad, you didn't know, and it was an amusing coincidence.On a side note, please send good wishes my way! One of my cats had surgery a few weeks ago to remove a bunch of tumors in her tiny body, we're hopping to receive the results from the biopsy tomorrow. We're really hoping it'll be no

It's a free point for you Write a message letting us know your score!!Exa
I will critique your crafts.Constructive criticism can really help us boost our art level, sometimes we know something can be improved but it's difficult to know it ourselves. Sadly, constructive criticism is rare. That's where I come in!The last few years I've tried my best to learn as much as I can about as many crafts as possible, so I feel confident to give my opinion about most of them. I hope this will help some people that are looking for comments to improve their work I will pick the deviations that I find more interesting, or that I feel I can help the most. I will pick 5 or 10 deviations this time, and if you guys are interested I can repeat this often!I will critique your craftsmanship, concept and photography. I will point the things that I like about your work, but I will also look for flaws or things that you can improve, and I will do my best to give you tips and recommendations.

What a week!Last week was full of excitement and turmoil at the same time. We had the Artisan Crafts week at projecteducate and it was amazing, so many interesting articles! I spent a lot of time and thought writing both my articles, thank you so much for all the faves and comments they meant a lot to me!I also participated in the Artisan Crafts chat last Saturday, it was pretty amazing and crazy I was happy to talk to many of you, and the Scavenger Hunt was so much fun! Would anyone be interested if I organize a chat for polymer clay? We can share tips One of my little cats, Diana, was neutered last week. She's a sweet little girl that always wants to be hugged and petted, but she turned out to be a little demon when recovering from surgery. She managed to pull her stitches twice, despite the cone of shame and the mittens that the vet crafted for her. Diana stayed behind at my parent's house (I only took three cats and my doggy when I loved), so both times I had to rush back to my
How to take crafting commissionsTaking crafting commissionsAccepting commissions is very different from opening a store in a lot of ways, so I decided to write a separate article for it. However, a lot of what I explained in the article "Introduction to setting up your store" also applies to taking commissions, so make sure to read that article too!Note: I'm writing this with crafting commissions in mind, since that's my area of expertise. I imagine that some things could also apply to other kind of commissions, but I make no promises What is a commission?A commission is when a client pays you to create a specific craft with their idea or instructions.How is a commission different from sales in my store?When you sell something in your store, people are buying your work. When you accept a commission, people are hiring you to do
Introduction to setting up your storeIntroduction to setting up your storeI have been there, deciding to sell your work is a scary decision. What do I do? How do I sell? How do I accept money? What do I do so that I don't lose money? What if no one buys my work? I went through every emotion and scary thought before I began. Three years after I opened my store I finally feel comfortable giving advice about it. This is a huge topic and I could write tons of info about it, so I'll begin with this introduction and build up on future articles. I will also write a second article about taking commissions, wait for it later this week!Last year I wrote some guidelines with some more information about selling your work online, please consider reading it too! This article will focus on setting up your store.Disclaimer: I'm not the most successful online seller, and I don't intend to be - I'm pretty busy with my studies, and most of my business comes from custom commissions, no

On Wednesday, March 28, you're invited to join our spring titles' 'coming out' party at The Dance Cave in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood. This semi-annual event is a much-beloved gathering of Toronto book lovers. We promise you a night of new and invigorating Canadian literature (and, hopefully, a little dancing).
With the Spring 2012 launch, we unleash five staggering works upon the Canadian reading public:
Acclaimed poet and literary blogger Sina Queyras will launch her very first novel, the stunning Autobiography of Childhood, in Montreal on Thursday, September 15, at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly. She'll read from the brand-new book and answer a few questions from host Jason Camlot.

In advance of Coach House and Three O'Clock Press's Tribute to Jones event, Sue Carter Flinn wrote a story about Jones's legacy and revival at the Quill & Quire Omni. Here's an excerpt:
When he was alive, Daniel Jones had a small but hardcore following. Now, 17 years after his death from suicide, the Toronto literary and punk icon is being celebrated with reissues of two out-of-print titles.
It's been months since the last Coach House launch, and we hope our absence has made your hearts grow fonder. On Wednesday, April 27, Revival at 783 College Street will transform into a den of book lust as Coach House launches two new novels, two debut poetry collections and one amazing poetry re-issue!
Fall in love with Coach House's poetry and fiction titles all over again:
Suzette Mayr launches her highly anticipated new novel Monoceros to a hometown Calgary crowd at 100 Wines (1109 Olympic Way SE). Also launch a book that night is Rosemary Nixon, author of Kalila (Goose Lane Editions). In a night hosted by Writers' Guild of Alberta program coordinator Samantha Warwick, the two novelists will read from their new novels and sign books.
This May, Coach House Books publishes Shawn Micallef's first book Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto, featuring illustrations and maps by Marlena Zuber. We're holding a rollicking launch party on Tuesday, May 18, and everyone's invited!
Jen Currin launches her brand-new collection, The Inquisition Yours, in Vancouver with a big event at Cafe Montmartre on March 27, featuring readers and bands all night.
Join us as Montreal's Snare Books and Coach House celebrate their Fall 2009 titles at The Green Room (5386 St-Laurent).

Plenty of guys will be hitting the weight room this summer before heading to the beach, but new research suggests that when it comes to winning over women, big muscles aren't always necessary. A new analysis by researchers at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville suggests that long ago, women started turning down strong, confident Alpha males in favor of Beta men who were more devoted. Here, a concise guide to the study:
Why do researchers think that geeks rule?
The team of evolutionary biologists wanted to determine exactly when it was that humankind began settling into monogamous relationships. Using a computer model, they found that when early humans began congregating in large social groups to up their chances of survival, physically dominant Alpha men had their pick from multiple women. For lower-ranking Beta men (think "scrawny geeks") to obtain mates, they needed to devise a different approach to circumvent the pecking order.
What did Betas do?
The researchers posit that out of necessity, a Beta man would devote himself to a single woman at a time, providing her with necessities like food and protection. Showering her with affection "led women to value a generous and devoted partner over a promiscuous stronger man," says Nick Collins at Britain's Telegraph. Monogamy persevered because it meant less infighting between competing males and better survival rates for offspring who had two parents watching over them.
Why does this matter?
Experts have long struggled to explain how the modern family arose out of tribal networks, study author Sergey Gavrilets tells the Daily Mail. As it turns out, the critical factor in this model was female choice, which sparked a "sexual revolution" and laid the groundwork for the modern two-parent family society is predicated on today.

Always something to challenge you - so you don't get bored - Wide range of customers makes for a interesting day - but i'm a longtime car guy so i'm right at home in this enviroment.Co workers and in store management are great to work with.
Advance seems to be uncertain of their direction right now - seems to be shifting more toward number watching rather than servicing the customer - stores are frequently understaffed.I understand the need to control costs in a business - but this a service based business more than a retail business-unlike Walmart and the like,most of our customers need assistance to purchase what they need.
Ease off the micromanaging and give the manager the authority to manage their stores - we have to make a return to service first for the customer - and training for the employees - if you take care of the customer - and have properly trained employees in the store - the sales numbers will be there .

Low salary for all team members except general manager. Highest turnover rate among any kind of retail job market.

Well the pay and the hours are less to be desires. Even if you have the education and credentials you are still treated like a burden because "you didn't put the time in". Some management is a victim of the "retail curse": "Well you've been here long enough, would you like to run the place".

Honoring the Fallen
Ceremony marks 20-year anniversary of fatal attack on two FBI agents and a police sergeant.
FBI Director James Comey speaks at a memorial service recognizing the 20-year anniversary of the fatal attack on two FBI agents and a Metropolitan Police Department sergeant at police headquarters.
Honoring the Fallen
20 Years Since Shooting Killed Two Agents, Police Sergeant
Two decades ago, on November 22, 1994, a lone gunman entered the headquarters building of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in Washington, D.C. and opened fire in a squad room, killing a police sergeant and two FBI agents. For those close to the fallen, who gathered today for a memorial service marking 20 years since the tragic event, it's as if it happened yesterday.
"Twenty years have passed, but our hearts are still heavy," said former FBI Director Louis J. Freeh, who headed the Bureau in 1994. "Our hearts and memories still feel the pain of that day. It was a day that we will never forget and will always honor."
'That Fateful Day'
November 22, 1994 started like any other day at the District of Columbia Municipal Building, where FBI Agent John Kuchta worked on a homicide cold case squad with other agents and Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) detectives. But that afternoon, everything changed when Benny Lee Lawson entered the building and opened fire. "There's not a day that goes by that I don't recall what happened," said Kuchta, who was wounded in the shooting. "Something like that doesn't leave you."
Special Agents Michael J. Miller and Martha Dixon-Martinez, of the FBI's Washington Field Office, and MPD Sgt. Joseph "Hank" Daly were fatally wounded in the attack. Another FBI agent, John Kuchta, was seriously wounded, and a 15-year-old bystander was injured. The assailant, Benny Lee Lawson, was killed in the exchange of gunfire. The 25-year-old had been questioned as a suspect a week earlier in a triple homicide investigation
Nearly 500 guests attended the memorial service this morning at St. Patrick's Church in Washington, D.C., where FBI Director James Comey, Attorney General Eric Holder, and MPD Chief of Police Cathy L. Lanier joined family members and former colleagues of the service martyrs to reflect on their lives and contributions. Family members who spoke at the memorial asked that their fallen siblings be celebrated for how they lived.
Paul Dixon recalled a story about his sister, Martha, who threatened to quit her elementary school when it wanted to move her into a higher-level class. She didn't want to leave her friends. Dixon said the same was true when her fellow squad members were attacked 20 years ago. She could have escaped, but stayed to help her colleagues.
"She was going to stay there and fight for her friends and defend them. And that's what she did. That's an illustration of Martha's character. That's the woman that was taken from us," Dixon said. "So I would encourage everybody here not to focus on the deaths of these people. It's not how they died that made them heroes, but it's how they lived."
|Michael J. Miller
|Sgt. Joseph "Hank" Daly
|Martha Dixon-Martinez
Many recalled how dangerous the city was in 1994 and credited the work of the Cold Case Squad—created in 1991 to solve moldering homicide cases—with helping turn the city around.
"It's incumbent upon us to remember that whatever we accomplish, whatever we achieve, we achieve standing on their shoulders," said Mike Daly, brother of Sgt. Hank Daly.
The 1994 shooting was the sixth time in FBI history that two agents had been killed at the same time as a direct result of adversarial action—and the second time it happened in Washington, D.C. The inherent dangers of law enforcement were a recurring theme.
"When the moment came, when danger threatened, they ultimately gave what President Abraham Lincoln once called that last full measure of devotion to their families, to their colleagues, and to their country," said Attorney General Holder.
The two-hour service was followed by a procession to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, where family members laid wreaths next to the names of their loves ones etched in the marble walls.
"Let's not dwell long on the anguish of that day," said Tony Daniels, who was in charge of the Washington Field Office in 1994. "Let's celebrate how they lived and how we can be proud of what they accomplished. Let's leave here today rededicating ourselves to what they taught us and what they represent: honor, courage, commitment."

Catholic Online Selects Mobile Politics: The Most Powerful Political Tool Since The Ballot
LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 13, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Catholic Online is announcing their adoption of the new Mobile Politics application for the iPhone to share the social message of the Church. Mobile Politics is being touted as "the most powerful tool in politics since the invention of the ballot."
One of the most exciting features of Mobile Politics is that it enables real-time polling of constituents. This is the first time such a powerful feature has been made available via a mobile application.
The application also allows politicians and advocacy organizations to receive secure contributions via a mobile platform without the need to acquire their own merchant account.

The application comes with a suite of powerful administrative tools to permit in-depth analysis of constituent feedback as well as automatic reports for easy compliance with campaign finance laws.
Additional exciting features include the ability to share news and alerts, a calendar for organizing and promoting events. Also for the first time ever politicians and advocacy organizations will get their own virtual TV channel via the app, allowing them to connect to their supporters more powerfully than ever before.
The application also enables sharing on social networks to maximize exposure.
Mobile politics will become the must-have mobile application for all advocates and political hopefuls by changing the way they listen to their constituents, collect secure contributions, and communicate with supporters.
Demonstrating its use for political causes as well as for candidates, the first client for Mobile Politics is Catholic Online, which enjoys one of the world's largest faith-based followings on the internet.
Deacon Keith A Fournier, Editor in Chief of Catholic Online, said "Mobile Politics will change the political landscape – and just in the nick of time. There is nothing available like it today. This technology solution is now available for political application. It can also be applied in a myriad of other ways to influence, engage and transform the culture for the good."
Tom Panuzio, President of Mobile Politics added, "We are honored to be able to assist Catholic Online with their political outreach message this election cycle. Mobile Politics was designed for campaigns and political organizations to leverage our platform and directly communicate and mobilize voters nationwide, through their iPhones."
The application is now available from the Apple App Store for iPhones and will soon be optimized for the iPad. An Android version is also in the offing. Visit their website at http://www.imobilepolitics.com.

Spickard Spice
The name. The mountain. Spickard is juxtaposed to Mt Redoubt (the namesake for our red ale) and is a great alpine destination, although accessibility is limited to put it mildly. To get to Ouzel lake located at the base of Spickard, you have to travel through Canada and then hike back into the US to […]
Patterson Smoked Porter
The name. The mountain. Located about 20 minutes west of Winthrop, WA, Patterson Mountain rises gently above Patterson Lake just outside the Sun Mountain Lodge resort. The area is popular with skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts in the winter and is a trail running destination in the summer. Patterson Mountain is a great destination year-round, but […]
Freshies! Cave Ridge Rye Pale and Phantom IPA
Fresh hops! It's the only time in the year we get local fresh hops and get to put them into the beer straight off the vines! We got 2 varietals this year and made two beers with them. Fresh simcoe in the Cave Ridge Rye (pale ale), and fresh amarillo (and a little fresh simcoe) in the Phantom IPA.
Tinkham Berliner Weisse
The name. The mountain. As close as its mountainBeer counterpart is to Steven's pass, Tinkham Mtn is just as close to Snoqualmie pass. Again, just off the PCT, it's a great place for a good, light summer excursion. The climb is ~ 1,000 feet of easy scrambling (NE route), or a more straight forward, albeit longer, […]
Enchantment Saison
The name. The mountain. The enchantments are a string of alpine lakes just outside of Leavenworth. Permits for camping here are arguably the most sought after permits in the area, with good reason. Enchantment Peak is one of the mountains that surround the valley. What sets this mountain apart is obviously the setting, not the […]
Twin Peaks Session Pale – Pilchuck Series
Part of the "pilchuck series," Twin Peaks is located off the mountain loop hwy, and is pretty low in elevation, hence part of our session series (low ABV beers)… The Beer. Twin Peaks is single hop ale (Citra hops). It is a crisp, light, hop forward beer that you can have a session of without killing your palate.
Maude's Mild
Mt Maude is the 13th tallest peak in WA and helps comprise the cirque where the Entiat river starts its seaward journey…. Maude's mild is our interpretation of an English Mild, by definition, a lower strength beer. A low ABV beer, but a nice complexity of malt and dark fruits (prunes and raisins) notes.
Dickerman Session Pale Ale … the Pilchuck series returns.
Part of the "pilchuck series," Dickerman is located off the mountain loop hwy, and is pretty low in elevation, hence part of our session series (low ABV beers)… The Beer. Dickerman is single hop ale (Australian Summer). It is a crisp, light, hop forward beer that you can have a session of without killing your palate.
Chiwawa Chili Ale
Chiwawa is a chili blonde. Chiwawa is most easily seen from the gorgeous Lyman lakes area. The beer features New Mexican hatch chilli peppers (contributing more flavor than heat) on top of a light crisp blonde.
Luna Double IPA
The name. The mountain. Luna is the center mountain of the Northern Picket range, arguably the most remote and inaccessible are of the N Cascades (along with the S. Pickets). There really is no good approach; any choice involves a lengthy slog and bushwhack. For those that venture into the area, the rewards are worth […]keep looking »

NOAA names new director of NSSL
Steve Koch will join NSSL as the new director in April.
Steve Koch will join NSSL as the new director in April.
For many in the weather radar community, Dale Sirmans is recognized as the father of the NEXt-Generation RADar (NEXRAD). As the lead engineer and principal architect of NSSL's first 10-cm Doppler weather radar, his leadership and guidance helped bring Doppler radar to the National Weather Service. Sirmans recently passed away on December 23 in Albertville, Ala., at 76, and we wanted to celebrate his five decades of contributions to weather radar, weather science and to the careers of future engineers and scientists.
Dave was NOAA Advisor during the launches of two Viking spacecraft, using surface and airborne electric field measurements to determine the risk of lightning during launches, and declaring "go," or "no-go" for launch.
NSSL's fleet of mobile research facilities (excluding mobile radars) have been under Dave's watchful eye and direction for decades.
NSSL's Dave Rust is retiring today, and we wanted to honor his significant, even revolutionary contributions, to thunderstorm science, especially through observation platforms.

Job Details
Bedford County is developing a new comprehensive plan that will be the blueprint for its future. This plan, which is scheduled to be completed in 2004, will outline what needs to be done in the county and how and when to do it. It will express a vision for the county's future and will serve as a guide for decision-making regarding land use, economic development, transportation, and public and social services. Land use and development will be critical components of this comprehensive plan. A group of residents have joined together to learn how they can support local government in this planning process. Bedford Citizens for Land Preservation (BCLP) was formed October 30, 2001 after more than 100 county residents attended a series of four meetings in the late summer and early fall of 2001. Two north county neighbors, Annis McCabe and Nancy Raine, organized the meetings. "Because land use and development will be a key part of the comprehensive plan, we wanted to learn more about the plan and what had developed from an October 2000 county-sponsored informational meeting on land preservation," said Annis McCabe, who has lived in Bedford County since 1959. "So we met with Philip Thompson, the county's new Director of Planning. We realized how much we didn't know and how much we have to learn about the whole planning process." "We decided that our neighbors would be as interested as we were in what the county is working on," said Nancy Raine. "And we were right!" At these meetings residents had the opportunity to learn about the county's planning process from a Bedford County supervisor, the county administrator, a member of the Planning Commission and the county's staff planner. Each generously gave their time and patiently answered residents' questions. A sign-up sheet was circulated at each of the four meetings and the majority of those attending indicated an interest in ensuring that goals to preserve open space and natural resources be included in the new comprehensive plan. "We all felt that the rural character of Bedford County is a significant part of what makes it a special place to live," said Richard Chaffin, a Bedford County farmer and developer. "There needs to be a balance between growth and what farmers need in order to continue Bedford's traditional use of the land as a natural resource. It's more than just protecting scenic views or hunting areas, although that is important. It's caring about the future of agriculture here in Bedford County." At the October 30th meeting more than 35 residents voted on the group's name and mission. They decided to focus on Bedford's rural character as it relates to land - the presence of woods and open space, farms, unimpeded views of the mountains, places to hunt deer or fish or ride a horse. While recognizing that growth is not only inevitable, but also desirable, the group agreed that growth must be managed in a way that respects the county's agricultural and natural heritage. As one resident put it, "You can't hunt turkey in the suburbs or fish from a condo window or have farmland without farmers." Residents also realized that to participate in the current planning process they needed to educate themselves in many areas, such as planning, tax implications of growth, voluntary options for land preservation available to landowners, and ways other Virginia localities have supported their agricultural and rural way of life. (See upcoming articles on what other Virginia localities have done to preserve their farms.) They learned also that time is short. Unplanned growth may be drawing Bedford County down the path of debt, which will affect every resident's pocketbook. Decisions made without the benefit of a comprehensive plan cannot be reversed. "Some of the decisions made now without the benefit of a good plan might be good ones. But if they aren't, they may come back to haunt us," said Nancy Raine. At a meeting held January 15, 2002 the group firmed up goals for four committees and established an ad hoc steering committee, which has been meeting monthly since January. The four committees are Communications, Planning and Zoning, Conservation Easements and Purchase of Development Rights, and Agricultural Opportunities. In addition, BCLP will be forming another committee that will inventory Bedford's unique natural features and resources and research how they fit into the comprehensive plan. BCLP is discovering that growth in the county can be managed in a way that balances economic development with support for rural values and pursuits. To achieve this balance, citizen involvement is critical. "You can either sit back, trade rumors, and complain about stuff when it is too late to do anything about it or you can do something before it happens," said one resident. In the ten months since its formation, members of BCLP's committees have been busy gathering information on a broad range of topics. BCLP has learned that many counties across Virginia are facing similar problems related to rapid growth and that Bedford is in a unique position to benefit from their experiences. In this weekly column BCLP will share what it is learning. "We are not experts, but we are discovering who to ask, what," said long-time resident Case Pieterman. "BCLP's goal is to enable each and every resident to participate in making decisions that will determine what Bedford County will be like in 10 years, 20 years, 50 years from now." Read this column for accurate and detailed information about the comprehensive plan and county zoning. Learn about BCLP's "Pride of Place" project and how you can participate and make a difference. Upcoming articles will explain procedures in county decision-making and the roles of the planning staff and Planning Commission in the creation of the comprehensive plan. Look here for information about the work of BCLP's committees and regular updates on the monthly meetings of Bedford County's Planning Commission. Editor's Note: Bedford Citizens for Land Preservation (BCLP) is a citizen-based, public foundation with the mission of supporting responsible growth in Bedford County while maintaining its rural qualities of life. BCLP is seeking volunteers for all its committees and for its neighborhood-based "Pride of Place" project. To review information BCLP has gathered on growth and land use topics visit the BCLP Resource Cart at the Bedford Central Library.

Bistro Provence - going tonight. Any recent visits?
- Will Owen Feb 5, 2010 10:47 AM
We're joining some friends there tonight - they've already made 6:30 reservations, so we're in for it come hell or high water. All of the in-depth commentary I've found is either ancient or on the sites I'm leery of, and according to their own website it appears they offer only prix fixe dinners, not expensive really but a tad stiff for us these days. If we must we must, though, and any recommendations will be deeply appreciated
Oh, you'll get no such help from us, Will Owen, you are in this, as you said. I haven't been here in years myself, and am glad it's you and not me in this pickle.
Looking forward to your report!
You know, I find it salty but not overwhelmingly so. They tend to slightly overcook seafood, so either order it "rare" or skip it. I didn't think the value was bad, though it's been 18 months or so since I've been.
Went there for lunch and dinner last fall. For the main entree, I enjoyed the roast chicken and the Beef Bourguignon.
was there around april/may of last year and enjoyed the gnocchi (first course but was quite large) and the bouillabaise. the roasted chicken was a bit dry and boring... served w/ fries & no veggies so it was all kind of... beige.
My company took me here recently for my five year anniversary. We went for lunch. I ordered the salmon, which was perfectly cooked with sauteed spinich and potato puree. Mine dish was not oversalted, and came with a nice acidic white wine sauce...it was nice because the salmon and the potatoes were a bit rich. My friend had the halibut "en papilote" (sp?), and thought it was good...healthy tasting, but good. Our two bosses had soup and salad. Dessert, however, didn't impress me all that much. The creme brulee was more light than rich and custardy...though the sugar brulee part was nice. The tart tatin was also okay...didn't really wow me. Hope this helps.
Well, Mrs. O has pointed out that if you go all the way to the bottom of the dinner menu, you'll see they do have an à la carte option, basically the app + entrée price plus dessert for another dollar. Two apps are the same price as one entrée. I'm trying to decide whether to be charmed by all this simplicity... Anyway, once you're there, it sorta takes money out of the choice equation, doesn't it? I'm also noticing that their lunch pricing is MUCH friendlier. Gotta remember that, provided dinner's okay.

"What a Great Book!"
I have read a lot of books in my forty-eight years on the planet, and this is in my top ten. I hope the rest of the series can maintain the same level of excitement. If you love fantasy, this will be right up your alley.
This could have been an interesting listen, but the narrator was not right for it. This needs someone like the narrator for the Harry Potter series, someone who uses inflection and emphasis and wit and differentiates among characters. But this voice churns along with the same tone, on and on. Too bad.
"Complex and compelling!"
Each character draws you in with a compelling and very human mix of good & evil personality traits. The story could stand alone as a political intrigue. Add that to a detailed fantasy setting and mysterious powers, what more could you want? Dragons? Oh, yeah, it has those too!
I couldn't help but pick this one up after all of the good things I've heard about both the book and TV adaptation. I'd also heard some literary criticism of George R. R. Martin's writing style, which wile valid, were only relevant in the strictest sense of a scholarly English critique. The universe of Game of Thrones is one full of wonder and fantasy, with heroes and villains alike all imagined in vivid detail. Each house with their arms, ancestry, and decoration are presented for the reader's mind to envision. In that sense I have very much enjoyed the ride and the story itself has gripped me the entire way through.
Roy Dotrice has a great voice. Each character's annunciation comes to life with such range that I am never at a loss to know who is speaking. He has the perfect blend of rasp and masculinity for men, innocence and delicacy for children, and sternness and confidence for the leading women. I can't wait to hear more in the sequels.
Sound quality of the recording itself is very good. I feel no need to adjust the EQ settings while listening in my car. I am not an audiophile, but SQ is important to me and I am especially bothered by poor recordings. This product does not disappoint!
"Wonderful Story & Incredible Narrator"
It ranks among the best.
It's a difficult decision given there are so many well-developed characters, but I'd choose Tyrion Lannister because he seems like such a weakling and yet finds his way out of tough situations again and again. He also seems to have a bigger heart than most other characters (especially the other Lannisters).
I was surprised by the final scene involving Daenerys Targargyen. Without giving too much away, I thought all along that it would turn out that she was just high-strung and would end up self-destructing by the end of the book. What happened was not what I expected!
"Dimensional people, fascinating evolving world"
True, in the beginning, I had problems keeping all the myriad characters clear in my mind. But sorting it out was more than worth it. I start the third in the series tomorrow, and I can't wait!
The reader, Roy Dotrice, is amazing. His portrayal of the characters is varied and deep and his voice brings me right into the bedrooms, courts, hovels and stunning landscapes with the different characters.
The plot is so rich and layered, and so are the people, that like the other reviewer, I also find myself thinking about them when I am doing mundane things or just trying to get to sleep at night.
Nothing and no one is sacred and the violence is as terrible as the human ties are powerful. It never became predictable, and I was both horrified and delighted at the different turns in the story.
Yes, there are similarities to Tolkien's amazing world and peoples, but this one is so violently, achingly human it will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Retired and enjoying volunteering and keeping up with national news. Aslo am learning about therapy dogs and hoping to train my dog to do the Read to a Dog program in libraries. That is, if I can get him to learn to behave!
"So Hooked"
I am glad that this is available as an audio book. I listen to it while I'm driving to work. It would be hard to get through it for me as a book because of all the names of this and that person. I'm amazed by the diversity of the characters that Roy Dotrice can produce! I'm so hooked on this story. I don't know what I'll do when it's over. Thank goodness I'm only on book three.
My husband is always saying I need to read fiction every now and then, because I mostly read non-fiction. This is one series that I have throughoughly enjoyed and am addicted too! What a great and amazing story! Thank you George R.R Martin for this wonderful story that you have given us!
"fantasy and reality collide"
If you're tired of the same old mythic fantasy yarn, then look grab a seat and hold on because Martin takes the fantasy, medieval romp and add a heaping of reality. Also, if you didn't catch the HBO series watch it because it is the greatest book to Video adaptation ever! It left out probably a few paragraphs, if that.
"the narrator almost ruins the story"
i got this book after watching the mini-series. this is basically a political thriller in an epic fantasy (a.k.a - medievil) setting. there is even a smidgen of sci-fi in here if you listen closely for it. the writing is very good. the story is both believable and engrossing. the narrator on the other hand has 4 voices, all of them are over the top varients of british stereotypes. before the mini-series i had passed on this book after listening to the sample. strongly recommend you listen to the sample too. that's as good as the narator gets. after seeing the film adaptation though, i was determined to get through this book. after a few hours i found i had built up a tollerance for the narrator. as for moving on to book two, i really want to continue the story, but i just don't know if i can put up with the narrator for 4 more books.
"Sorry but..."
I was looking for a book to read while I waited for the end of the WOT. I didn't want to really get into another Epic fantasy story as an interim read/listen, however, the sheer number of positive reviews of this series and recommendations from other books made me decide to go for it anyway. Not to mention, if it's two credits it must be something spectacular right?
Unfortunately, I feel a little jipped (sp?) by whoever chose a two credit price for this. Maybe it's a better read than listen although I didn't have any problem with the narrator and thought he did a great job. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the narrator. In fact he's better than some others by far. What completely threw me with this book was the absolutely unnecessary forays into erotica. I couldn't believe it. At no point did it move the story. If the author sought to "be real" and add in incest, wedding nights, brothels, and sadism then so be it. At no point does using these as plot devices require graphic erotica to do so. It all felt basically perverted at worst or lazy at best. Please know I don't mind "realism" or even dark plots and twists to stories. I think they can be some of the best when they do something FOR the story. However, this was not the case in this book. Each time he took the story there I would turn down the volume although the possibility of somehow missing something important to the story would nag at me. After about four times of doing this it was enough. Wasting money (not listening to what I purchased) and feeling let down by such writing does not equal entertainment for me nor something I choose to subject myself to. So, it looks like I'm down about $30 bucks (2 credits) for no good reason.
After listening now to about 15 hours of this and coming to this opinion, I've come back to see if there was something I've missed in all 6,000 reviews. Apparently I'm in the minority, however, others have echoed my own thoughts to the letter. Hearing that the plot doesn't ever get better or near a conclusion despite all of its "realism" is enough for me to cut my losses and try elsewhere.
Overall, it's not a terrible story, nor is it poorly narrated. It just falls epicly short of its current hype. I would not compare it to the great Fantasy writers most especially not Tolkien. I would hope the author himself wouldn't even suggest such a thing and can only assume he does not. I'm sure he wanted to make an "adult" fantasy and be different. Well, the descriptor of "adult" fits but not because it's all grown up or for grown ups. If anything it smacks of pubescent adolescence in sexual theme. As another reviewer stated, if I wanted the political intrigue and scandal of royalty I would read royal history rather than look for it in a Fantasy title. I don't fault the author for that and it is PURELY a matter of my personal preference in Fantasy literature. Unfortunately, his sexual tangents effectively made me unwilling to follow him through his experiment in Fantasy intrigue.

Why don't they call it capture point then? zzzz............
It has been done before... Go look at demigod... Although in demigod you captured those points to get access to shops and different things. There were still minions that pushed and had to destroy towers and a main building aka like a nexus. It has been done before just in a different way
Senior Member
Yes but demigod was TERRIBLE
Anima Libera
Demigod wasn't that bad. It just needed some balancing and Stardock and Gas Powered were unwilling to put the time into it.
Anyway, it's been done in a MOBA before, but not one as popular as LoL
