My husband and I have been married for 36 years. Our first Christmas we bought a Santa on Silk dated ornament which began our tradition of buying one every year. Several years ago,we were no longer able to find the ornaments. We are so happy to have found this site and start purchasing these beautiful ornaments once again.

Santa on Silk - 1915 St. Nick - Dated 2015 Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Jolly old St. Nick is depicted on this image from 1915. You can almost hear a "Ho, ho, ho!" as he greets children all over the world on Christmas Eve.(2015 is on the back) This wondeful depiction of Santa Claus is one of the collection of dated Silk Santa ornaments that we carry. The image of a famous painting of St. Nick from 1915 is replicated on silk and adhered to the front of a glass ball, framed by a border of gold thread. On the back the dated is stamped in golden glitter and the glittered scroll work on the sides and back is covered in glitter. GLASS BALLS COME IN ASSORTED COLORS, SO WE WILL CHOOSE FOR YOU!
Material: Glass Ball

8/25/2014 - "I have purchased ornaments from Ornament Shop.com for 4 or 5 years. I have 6 grandchildren ranging in ages from 11 - 25 and have been purchasing Christmas ornaments since they were born. I look for ornaments that have something to do with their interests, or where they are in their lives at this particular time. i.e., college freshman,(college boy) aspiring music teacher (guitar), lover of horses (brown horse w/saddle), coach (lacrosse equipment), golfer/caddy(golf green) and stylish lady (lovely high heels). I find the selections fantastic and better every year. I especially like the personalization that I have been able to place on each ornament. I hope my grand kids place these ornaments on their own Christmas trees someday and know each will bring back fond memories. Ann F."

how can we hope for the triumph of the banal and victory of the mediocre unless we scythe these 'tall poppies' down to the level of the honest weeds that thrive around our ankles?
get treatment early and often, until your creativity comes down to a readout tolerably close to zero. only then you too can raise the proud banner of sanity and feel normal.

During a speech and press conference today, lawmaker Wendy Davis said her campaign was gaining momentum and she can see herself winning in November. She also referred to her candidacy as vital to defend women's rights and defended late-term abortions as sacred ground.
Ill seek common ground we all must but sometimes you have to take a stand on sacred ground, Davis said during her press conference, referring to her filibuster to stop a bill to ban abortions after five months. Reporters asked Davis if she supported any limits on abortions and she responded that she did not, saying she supports current federal law. |
Feb 18, 2014
she's a c@@t!! And your desperate! |
Feb 18, 2014
That's vile. You typify perfectly why women in general want nothing to do with Republican candidates. The very fact that you would use such a vulgar term on a public forum demonstrates your misogyny and contempt. The war on women is alive and well in Texas and while Abbott will probably win, this attitude is why national politics will continue to be controlled by Democrats. |

Feb 18, 2014
War on women,I'm a woman and a Republican,when do you speak for all women. Late term abortion is sick damn sick,you talk about women don't vote Republican,all the women I know do!The demonrats are the vile sick bunch,their motto is anything goes,their the vulgar ones,war on women,nah not in my state! |
Feb 18, 2014
If you called women by the "C" word I would accuse you of the same. Since you have not, neither have I suggested you were perpetuating said war. Are you intending to defend what the poster I responded to has to say? Or are you merely ranting in an attempt to prove some other point? You're entitled to your opinion as always but you are not entitled to speak for all women nor for all Texans. |
Feb 18, 2014
The "war on women" was invented by the Democrats and is being carried on by the Democrats. Thanks to the Democrats from Obamaville, we now have class warfare, race warfare, gender warfare and warfare on the unborn. There was no "healthcare crisis" until you Democrats invented it. Now we have a crisis brewing from the Unaffordable Care Act. The Republicans are a joke too. We need a good third party to get rid of the whole lot of you. |

Last weeks back-to-back rulings by federal judges in Kentucky and Virginia were the first to embrace gay marriage in the South, but they almost certainly wont be the last. Similar cases are moving to trial in federal courts across the region, from Louisiana to Texas to Tennessee, in Arkansas and in both the Carolinas. Their prospects in Dixie arent certain, but this much is clear: Theyve never been better and this is good news for people like me who might be interested in doing a gay deal. |
Feb 18, 2014
So who gets to pay for all of this?. We the taxpayers, that's who. You no-good Democrats are the leading cause of why this country is going down the toilet. Detroit is the perfect business model for Prog leaDuhship. The rest of the U.S is almost there too. Thanks. |
Feb 18, 2014
So, why don't you move to a state like California?. I can tell you why you won't . Because the cities are bankrupt and their are high taxes due to Democrat rule. Voting for a Democrat might help you with your gay deal, but in the long run unless you enjoy poverty and crime, voting Democrat is a bad idea. Voting for a thin skinned trial lawyer with either party is a bad idea. Wendy Davis is just that. |
Feb 18, 2014
I don't know anything about her skin but I do know she supports gays. I am independently wealthy and retired so I am not too concerned about poverty but I do hope to marry my boyfriend one day in my native land. Sure, we could move to California or Massachusetts but we love the Lone Star state and want for it to progress, rather than us have to move on out. I don't always vote democrat but there aren't too many Log Cabin Republicans in our area. For me, gay rights overrides all others - I don't even care about this abortion controversy since I don't have kids nor do I plan to reproduce with a woman. |
Feb 18, 2014
blah! Blah! I'm a proud democrat and I don't like Wendy!! |
Feb 18, 2014
Seek mental help, you nutjob |
Feb 18, 2014
Is that the best you can do?. Typical feeble Prog response. Never let any truth or different thoughts get in the way of your pathetic feelings. |
Feb 18, 2014
For the rest of us who are not independently wealthy, we don't need job killing regulations and higher taxes. Wendy Davis is just an extension of the Obama regime. |
Feb 19, 2014
I hope you stupid DemocRats that live in Houston get a taste of what you helped to create by electing Bill White for Mayor.
Long term consequences of electing a DemocRat for anything other than dog catcher far outweigh your petty little issues. We now have an armed gang from N.O. helping the displaced Katrina trash with robbing businesses and probably conducting home invasions as well. These thugs also want to kill police officers as well. Thanks DemocRats. Sources: Robbers ready to shoot police http://www.click2houston.com/news/sources-rob... |

You seriously need to get a life or a hobby. Your whiny complaints are ridiculous. If you have such a problem with everything, go do something about it and quit bitching on Topix. Really man. Get a girlfriend or do something productive. Spewing your nonsense on a 4 year old thread is pretty lame. |

Battleground Texas is the new ACORN. They are breaking the laws of Texas (as is the right of ONLY DEMOCRATS to do). The ObamaCare registration information is being illegally shared with Dem organizations. It this were Repubs doing this in New York or California there would be a Federal investigation. The story below has a video showing the BT people admitting to breaking Texas laws.

US 3814318 A Abstract A plurality of discrete discs of different specific gravity are guided for vertical movement in a transparent container. Random movement of the discs is initiated by introducing a liquid into the container at locations above and below the discs.

Random movement of the discs is initiated 239/23 21 6 1 by introducing a liquid into the container at locations 10') 6 aboveand below the discs. 10 Claims, 9 Drawing Figures rooms and rest rooms or in public places MEANS PROVIDING RANDOM MOVEMENT ESPECIALLY FOR USE IN LUMINOUS FOUNTAINS The invention concerns a means for imparting random reciprocatory movements to objects, and more particularly a means for causing random displacement of discs sliding within a cylinder. The invention relates in particular to the construction of luminous fountains which may be installed both indoors and in the open, especially for advertising purposes. According to the present invention a random movement is imparted to a disc fitted to slide with gentle friction or without friction in a vertical cylinder, the movement being achieved by pushing upwards a cushion of air or other gas disposed below the disc, and by maintaining a layer of liquid on the disc. Then, sometimes uniform ascent of the disc is observed and sometimes unforeseeable accelerations or decelerations, accompanied by the release of air bubbles through the layer of liquid and/or movements of the liquid in the cushion of air are observed. In one embodiment a plurality of discs are fitted in this manner to slide in a single vertical cylinder, the upper end of which communicates with the atmosphere. When not moving, the discs are kept apart by spacers. Means are provided for introducing liquid at the bottom of the cylinder and, preferably at a slower rate, at a point above the top disc, and for periodically emptying the cylinder. The discs may be guided by an element disposed along the axis of the cylinder. The guide element is preferably tubular so that it can be used as a pipe for the liquid which is discharged above the top disc. Each of the discs is thus displaced in a random fashion both upwardly (during the filling of the cylinder) and downwardly (during emptying). For example, two adjacent discs may travel at the same rate during some movements, whereas they may move away from or towards each other during other movements. The space between two adjacent discs is sometimes full of air or liquid and sometimes occupied by a layer of liquid surmounted by a. cushion of air. By illuminating the interior of the cylinder, the wall of which is of course transparent, it is thus possible to provide a luminous foundain which attracts and arrests attention and which occupies the mind without fatiguing it. This effect can be further intensified by using different shapes and colours for the discs. Luminous fountains of this kind can be installed especially in waiting so as to call attention to advertising matter. 1 Although the invention is in no way limited by any scientific explanation that may be put forward to explain its advantageous effects, these effects may result from the random differences in the gap between each disc and the cylinder and the guide element. In particular it might be thought that the presence of a layer of water on a disc could, in certain circumstances, tightly seal the annular gap or gaps, whereas in other circumstances that are practically unforeseeable, air might escape upwards and/or the water may travel downwards through the gap or gaps. The following description relating to the attached drawing, provided to illustrate a non-limiting example, will show more clearly how the invention may be reduced to practice, all the details shown in the drawing and described in the text of course falling within the scope of the invention. FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic vertical section through a luminous fountain which includes a plurality of discs in accordance with the invention, the discs being shown in the stationary condition. FIG. la is a partial view similar to that seen in FIG. 1 and shows a possible position of the discs after emptying of the cylinder has been completed. FIG. 2 is a partial view similar to that of FIG. I and illustrates the positions of the discs at the commencement of an operating cycle of the fountain. FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 are views similar to that of FIG. 2 and show various positions of the discs at different moments during an operating cycle. FIGS. 3a, 4a and 5a are views similar respectively to those of FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 and illustrating a further operating cycle. The luminous fountain illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 1 consists mainly of a cylinder 1 made of a transparent synthetic resin (methyl polymethacrylate) in which are slidably mounted discs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the same material. There is provided a reservoir 6 containing a pump 7 capable of delivering water from the reservoir 6 to a tube 8. Tube 8 is coaxial with the cylinder 1, for the purpose of discharging the water into the cylinder at orifices 9 and 10 as will be explained below. The interior of the cylinder is illuminated by means not illustrated. The discs 2, 3, 4 and 5 are of different colour and, with the exception of the disc 4, are provided with appendages of various shapes so as to create further differences between them. Thus, a cylindrical portion 2a constituting a float is attached to the lower face of the disc 2, and the disc 3 is provided with a float 3a. Each of the discs 2, 3, 4 and 5 is mounted on a short length of tubing 2!), 3b, 4b and 5b respectively which extends thrugh a central aperture in its associated disc and is able to slide along the tube 8. A radial gap of a few tenths of a millimetre is provided between the outer diameter of tube 8 and the inner diameter of each of the said short lengths of tubing. The periphery of each disc slides in the cylinder 1 and there is likewise provided a radial gap of a few tenths of a millimetre between the outer diameter of each disc and the inner periphery of the wall of the cylinder. The cylinder 1 is provided with a cover la and a water-tight base 11. The lower portion of base 11 forms a cover lla which rests on the reservoir 6. The reservoir 6 is supported on a base-plate l2 and its upper edge contains air-holes 6a. Theupper edge of the cylinder 1 likewise contains air-holes 10a. Disposed above the base 11 of the cylinder is a limit stop 13 which forms a stop for the bottom disc 2. That portion of the tube 8 which is situated within the limit stop 13 contains orifices 9a. The limit stop 13 itself contains orifices 9 which communicate with the interior of the cylinder below the bottom disc 2. The upper end of the tube 8 is plugged but contains orifices 10, the cross-sections of which are smaller than those of the orifices 9a and 9. It is desired that only one-fifth to one-quarter of the amount of water delivered by the pump 7 is discharged through the orifices 10, the rest being discharged through the orifices 9a and 9. The short lengths of tubing 2!), 3b, 4b and 5b constitute spacers which prevent the discs from moving into contact with each other. When the cylinder 1 con- .below the disc 2, and a layer of water 19 is delivered onto the disc 5. As the water level 18a rises, air is compressed in the gap 14 and tends to lift the discs 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the layer of water 19. However the air also seaks to pass through the annular gaps between the discs the cylinder I, and the tube 8, and seeks to enter the spaces l5, l6 and 17 to be compressed therein. Such air then seeks to pass over the disc 5 and through the layer of water 19. At the same time the water of this layer 19 seeks to flow downwards through said annular The pump 7 is driven by an electric motor controlled by a timing system (the motor and system not being illustrated); so that the pump 7 is periodically caused to operate for a period (for example 1 minute) sufficient for filling the cylinder 1 with water. The pump 7 is then stopped for a length of time sufficient to enable the water to return from the cylinder 1 to the reservoir 6 by way of the orifices 9 and 9a, the tube 8 and the pump 7. Since pump 7 is submerged, it'does not require a non-return valve. FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 show respectively the positions that the discs might occupy 20, 40 and 60 seconds after the pump 7 has been started up. In FIG 3, the level 18a of the water has risen beyond the disc 2 and has reached the float 3a of the disc 3 and helps define a cushion of air 150. Part of the layer of water 19 has passed to a location below the disc 5 and forms a shallow layer on the disc 4. In FIG. 4 the level 18a has risen above the disc 3, and below the disc 4, and thereby helps define a cushion of air 16a which graudally escapes by bubbling through the layer of water 20; The cushion of air 17a formed between the layer of water 20 and the disc 5, likewise begins to escape through the layer of water 19, thereby creating bubbles. In FIG. 5, the level of the layer of water 18 has practically reached the disc 5, and the air is finally driven from the cushion 17a through the layer of water 19. When the pump 7 is stopped and the-cylinder 1 7 completely emptied of water, the discs cannot be returned to the position shown in FIG. 1 but, probably as a result of their jamming slightly on their guides, oc- cupyaposition suchasis illustrated in FIG Ia. FIGS. 3a, 4a and 5a respectively also show he positionsthat the discs might occupy'lO, 20 and 30 seconds after the pump has been started up a second time. It will be seen that the positions of the discs are very different from those shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. In particular the disc 3 seems to be towing the disc 2, whereas in the previous Figures it appeared to be pushing the disc 4 upwards. I claim: 1. A method of imparting random movement to attract attention comprising the steps of providing a plu- 2. A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein said step'of guiding the disc includesusing a hollow centrally disposed tube within said container, and said step of introducing liquid including pumping the liquid upwardly through said tube for discharge through ports in the tube. 3.

Local Lady Finger Blog Scratches at Gender Dynamics
The gloves have long been off for local scribe Naomi Zeveloff. As an editorial fellow here at Westword, she unleashed fury on the likes of Republican House District 56 hopeful Muhammad Ali Hasan in an article ColoradoPols.com called "quite possibly the single most damaging piece of press that we have ever seen for a politician." Now she's lending her journalistic ferocity to the local online mag Colorado Independent.
In her meager spare time, Naomi Zeveloff is now sinking her nails into the meaty underbelly of gender dynamics. You can read her and her colleagues' take on Victoria's Secret's new line of collegiate ("sickening") underwear and sexist Facebook ads (they "demean and degrade") on her new blog, the Lady Finger. Be warned: Zeveloff takes no prisoners. –- Joel Warner

"Short Story as Long and Engaging as a Novel"
Narrator: Frank Muller
Frank Muller is one of what I consider to be the "best of the best" of narrators, so I suppose my commentary on him is colored by other books. In this one, he manages to start out the "Red" character at around 30 some odd years old, and slowly age him to 58. That, in itself, is a feat. Mr. Muller is not afraid of comfortable pauses between chapters, or reading slowly and carefully enough to emanate important emotional parts. He's just as excellent as always in this one.
Story: Originally titled "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption", one of four such stories in the book "Different Seasons" written by Stephen King.
This story is about an upstanding citizen, who, through what appears to be truly a truckload of bad luck, finds himself imprisoned for 27 years for 2 murders he did not commit. It is told by his best friend on the inside, a man who owns his own crime (rare on the inside) and a man who can "get you things". Though most of the story is focused on Andy, it is also focused on the interpretation of Andy by this man, whose name is Red.
In or around 1994, I saw the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins and instantly fell in love with it. I ran out and bought a copy to keep and watch for years to come.
I was concerned about buying this book. It is short: a mere 3 hours, 58 minutes and 28 seconds long. I thought that the movie, at about 2 and a half hours would overshadow it and buying this short book might be a "waste of money". How much more can there be in the additional hour and a half, especially considering it is a short story? Would it "ruin" my enjoyment of the movie, bothering me with inconsistencies to the movie story I knew so well?
I lucked out. Audible had a half-off-just-about-anything sale, so I only spent half what it is normally priced at. There was no thought about the money once I got into it, sale or no. It did not ruin my enjoyment of the movie, it has enhanced it.
"No good thing ever dies." says Andy Dufresne in both the book and the movie. Well, I would add that goes for good stories as well. To me, this is a classic story, one that should be shelved between Hansel and Gretel and The Wizard of Oz. But only because it would be shelved in fiction. It is, obviously, a book for adults, not children, but it endures because of it's nearly full believability, a tough thing to pull off for a fictitious story about a prison break. Stephen King not only pulls it off, he makes it a classic, and Frank Muller's narration makes it a keeper.
If you're considering it, save up your dollars until you can buy it, full price or otherwise. It is a very good evening's worth of rapt entertainment. Definitely better than prime time television, though I know that's not saying much these days. I'd say it'd be worth more than one evening of prime time television anywhere from the 1960's on, including my favorite shows and even movies. I'd give up one evening gladly, and pay the price gladly. And I don't regret having done so at all. Frankly, it's a steal, even at full price.
"True Genius"
Being a fan of dark, apocalyptic fiction, this book awed me. The realism captured in the way Max Brooks uses uninterrupted interviews after the fact lends outstandingly good form fora nearly all star cast. It is riveting and fascinating. Worth more than a single read. We're this in my home library it would be bound in leather. I would want my grandchild to read this in his mid teens.
"Enjoyable story, poor narration"
I was delighted with this STORY as a fun, easy read, but appalled at the narration. In nothing more than my first semester of college, even I learned that when one orates, or reads aloud, one must SLOW DOWN. The class I took on Oral Interpretation spent the first half of the semester with the teacher repeatedly telling each of us to SLOW DOWN. This is the problem with the narration (and the only problem with it as far as I could tell) as the narrator Heidi Baker reads at about the speed of light. That might be helpful in other professions but not this one. Thank goodness I found the story fun, interesting and not too explicit, which is saying a lot for a love story based on two people alone on an island! However, I did have to listen about 3 times to catch everything. Please, Audible, do what you can to find better narrators! Or, HELP them!!!! There's nothing wrong with a little direction.
"Magic's Pawn: Book 1 of 3"
Vanyel Ashkevron is a 16 year old young man who's father is Lord of Forst Reach in the kingdom of Valdemar, and is expected by his father to take over his estate as Lord Holder when he comes to manhood.
However, Vanyel is far more interested in music than in being Lord Holder or in the "hack and bash" fighting his nemesis, Jervis, tries to force down his throat. He understands neither of those any more than he understands why his father never seems to think he does anything right and seems to believe he lies: though he does not. Eventually the root of his father's "problem" is told in this first book and handled well in all three of this trilogy. I found the treatment Ms. Lackey did of the issues around being gay with a parent who is homophobic (though neither word is used it becomes obvious) to be very accurate and true to life. Those who think it isn't either had awesomely progressive parents or they are not gay and therefore have no understanding of the wounds this inflicts.
Magic's Pawn, the first in three books of the trilogy known as "The Last Herald Mage" is the beginning of a tale that starts with the main character (Vanyel) very young, and ends in the third book in his mid thirties, quite a different man and very mature. It seems that things only go from bad to worse at first, but eventually the story shows what it took to make Vanyel the Legend he eventually becomes.The characters and relationships in Lackey's writing are very well drawn, and while this first book of the trilogy includes seemingly overdone emotions, for a 16 year old confused boy, it's just right. Emotions are always seem to adults to be a bit overdone at 16 years old regardless of gender or sexual preference.
About the narrator: James DeLotel did a FANTASTIC job of narrating all three books of this series for the American Printing House for the blind. However, my copy is old and missing at least 22 pages (broken tape, fixed ultimately but missing the broken part) of the first book is missing. I so badly wanted copies of all three books that were whole.
I am grateful that Audible did this, but I wish that Audible could have some way of checking the narration at the very least, even if they can't afford (or won't pay for) studio time for recording in which both editing and directing could have made a huge difference.
I think that this narrator, Gregory St. John, has at the very least a natural gift for narrating, but even gifts need direction. This narrator for this book has been reviewed MANY times as having anything from an annoying effect on listeners to an UN-listenable effect. I found it merely annoying because I know the story is worth it. No newcomer to these stories can be expected to see that though.
MERCEDES LACKEY has written quite a few fantastic series that many people follow in an age when reading has all but gone out of style. It's not fair to the author or the listeners to have such inconsistent, badly timed and badly pronounced (e.g. "Tamentable" is said in place of "Lamentable" for instance in book two) regular English/American words as well as the inconsistency of pronunciation of names as well as pacing. Speaking of which, the pacing is horrid. No pause, not even one second between obviously different scenes. The reading is so bad, my first listen included many lost sentences going by as I tried to figure out what the narrator had just said. And I had already read the entire series three times in hardback!!!
If too many of Audible's narrators are like this, I fear many people will find other places to get their audio books. I've even thought of doing that myself, which I find a bit disturbing. And all because of bad narration by one narrator. One. And I know, from experience with "The Island" and a few other books from Audible that regardless of the greatness of the writing, the horridly unprofessional narration made it so I could barely stand the too fast reading, very bad "accents" that do not remain consistent within characters, bad pacing, mispronounced words, etc. in any book from Audible. That's not good for keeping me from wandering around looking for other sources of audio books.
It is necessary, I believe, to bother with studio time, recording with editing and some direction.
I put up with it, because it's where I first found a copy of "The Last Herald Mage" trilogy not as old as my worn James DeLotel version. But....I won't be tossing that version, as it's nice to RELAX rather than be constantly irritated and finding myself correcting the narrator such as when St. John says the word "merc" (shortened form for mercenary) as "merse" rather than "merk". Actually, with that mispronounced word, St. John was absolutely consistent! Which only made me more annoyed. After about the fifth time he says "merse rations" I start correcting him ... as though that will make any difference. I'm glad I already loved these books or Audible, frankly, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THE SECOND ONE. In fact, I probably would have asked for money back and rescinded my rights to the first book once I got that money back. That's how annoying it would be had I not already been familiar with and loved the books themselves.
Really, these things could have easily been cleared up with a little direction. It makes your narrators look bad as well as your company. Of course, this is all assuming that Audible has any say and is something more than a place that rents audio books from other places. If Audible does rent from other places, perhaps Audible needs to first read user reviews from the companies they rent from so they can better choose which books Audible wants to present to it's clientele.
Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise and Magic's Price are awesome books in written form. And if a bad narration, bad or no editing and no direction causes people to turn away from the books themselves, I hope authors check in and insist on their books being done by professionals rather than just well, gifted folks in home studios with no direction and absolutely no editing. I will start warning authors if I see this on the increase. It's a very bad misrepresentation of an author's work when the narration alone turns readers away. How many times do your customers have to tell you this, Audible, before you find a way to seriously address the issue? And if you'd like a dialogue, Audible, contact me, I'd be happy to talk to you about it.
For those who love fantasy and love books by Mercedes Lackey, you can still hear her works here, just allow for some really challenging moments in listening for this series.
"Best Book, Best Narrator"
"The Stand" originally came out in 1978. In 1990 (or close thereabouts) Stephen King, in response to his fans requesting it, edited and expanded this classic work to include hundreds of pages that were cut from the original version on account of the billing department. Now, the entire story is here, and included are more details about the characters familiar readers will recognize.
If you're a first time reader, get ready for the ride of your life through Stephen King's description of a world where 99% of the population is wiped out by a flu plague. And more...what happens to the 1% left to survive. What would it be like, REALLY?
I loved this book, still do, have my own hard copy along with this version on audio.
Grover Gardner is, to me, the STANDARD for good narrators. I wish some other books I've bought here were read by him and not the folks who mispronounce words and names and can't seem to read consistently and read too fast. Gardner's reading is so smooth it's almost enough to make you think you are thinking the book rather than hearing it. He's not slow, he's not fast, he's easy to listen to, he gets emotion across without blasting your eardrums and without overdoing it. His vocal characterizations are consistent and again, not overdone. A pure joy to listen to. Here's a narrator that makes you actually not want to read yourself. Other narrators I could name but won't, make me want to give up and go read the hard copy myself. If you want a nice long story, like end-of-the-world scenarios, like Stephen King or are curious, and want to hear a REALLY PROFESSIONAL narrator: this is the book for you. Well worth it.
"Don't Miss Volume 4.5 of the Dark Tower Series"
From the moment my father explained to me that there is space, quite a bit of it, in between walls, I learned to not let my imagination travel down certain roads.And, to continue the thought, once I read Stephen King I wasn't as frightened as I thought I would be … since my 'under mind' (in Dark Tower speech, meaning unconscious) had already traveled down those roads. What a surprise to find out it was worth a little fear to read such suspenseful stories. Character isn't just three dimensional, it's Whole in King's writing. And no more so than in the seemingly endless Dark Tower stories, which now include a total of eight volumes. (In case you want a list to compare, here they are in the order the author suggests they be read:
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger
The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three
The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole
The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla
The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah
The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower
That order is found in a forward by the author in "The Wind Through the Keyhole" which is the last book he wrote in the Dark Tower cycle. In his words it should be shelved between Dark Tower 4 and 5.) The wonderful thing about TWTTK, is that it really CAN be enjoyed all by itself. There is enough "pre-story" told to catch the reader up to who the characters are. So, to get the flavor of the Dark Tower series, this book is the one to read. If you like it well enough, it may be all you need to choose to read the rest of the Dark Tower Series. Being a story within a story within a story, this is especially well suited to those who are 'storiophiles'. That is to say, people who are bound by stories like a junkie to his junk. Good stories, of course. Having read the entire series several times, I have to say I get especially excited when I get to this volume because the story within the story within the story is so artfully done. After Frank Muller's amazing narration of the first 4 volumes, it was a little hard for me to get used to Stephen King narrating (yes, the same, the author reads this volume himself!) his narration is plenty correct, flows well, and I found within a short time I am lost in the book and have forgotten there has ever been another narrator for the series. While Stephen King does not have the ever-spooky pacing and tone that Frank Muller had which could make a perfectly sweet lullaby sound like death bells, the truth is, for the story within a story within a story, it only makes SENSE that the story writer should, himself read it. To those who have complained, whined and otherwise bedraggled the fact that Sie King reads his own book, I would answer with "Yar. And could any of you have read it better?" I couldn't and my narration abilities are very good. There is a difference between good narration and acting-narration. That is all that is different. Though, for those of you who insist, I am certain Stephen King actually plugs his nose for one character somewhere around the middle of the beginning of the book.So, there is your "acting narration" if you must have it. The book itself is a fantastical tale that is worth not just one read, but several. And if you've read the original 7 volumes and loved them, I would encourage you NOT to give this a pass. It's pure Stephen King and it adds to Roland's back-story as well as illustrating the beginnings of his wildly romantic (albeit practical) nature.I would like to thank Stephen King in this review, for reading the book himself. It is the only thing I have that is read by him. Can anyone claim anything else, other than occasional quotes from some speech? This is going to be collector's status, take my word for it.
"NOT Murder She Wrote"
This story surprised me! Emily Pollifax is an older woman, busy with much volunteer work, but not really happy.In fact, as her doctor notes, she is suffering from mild depression.
However, Mrs. Pollifax does not turn to an anti-depressant. She turns to a dream she had from her youth -- that of becoming a spy.
Her approach to getting that job is phenomenally unique and full of good humor. I enjoyed it from cover to cover (as it were). Enough to listen yet again, and again after that.
Emily Pollifax is intriguing not because she is so outwardly different from women her age, but because of how she looks at life. She comes across as a "doddering old woman" yet she does amazing astounding things that people in their young adult years might find too demanding. But Emily doesn't do these because she's in "shape" to do so. She does them because they befall her.
Her spirit is what is so commendable, and while she like all of us has her "grumpy" moments, for the most part her openness to life in general and learning specifically are truly inspirational. But mostly she is far more interesting that one would expect. In fact, she is completely Unexpected.
Highly recommend to all ages.
Barbara Rosenblat does a wonderful job of creating the voice of Emily Pollifax, making her more alive and believable than print could do.
"Books to pass to the next generation"
The City of Ember is the first book and The People of Sparks is the second.
The People of Sparks are "put upon" by more than the whole population of their own town when 417 people arrive in one day, all needing shelter and food and water. Good intentions wear thin with hardship and the reader is shown the difficulty of both sets of people. The argument for difficulty and impossible expectations are well defined and so reasonable it's easy to see how any of us would feel the same in either position.
This story also teaches how wars start -- on a small scale. It shows that people do not have to be evil in order to have both misunderstanding and fear coalesce into a dangerous mob without much to urge it on.
It is also a story of forgiveness and courage, as well as the way to stop war.
Taken together this is far more than just a story of a post-apocalyptic world. There is not much description of the "Disaster" though it is simply explained. The astonishing thing about these two books is the depth of wisdom and insight about people. How we function, how we respond to uncertainty, strangers, new places, and how easy it is to believe that our own way of life is the only way, even if it isn't the best way.
This story is written from and seen through the eyes of children between the ages of about 9 to 13 and has the resulting success of answering all the questions the reader would have.
Wendy Dillon's voice is soothing as well as flexible. Her rendition of the different people is almost unnoticeable it is so smoothly done.
This is an amazing book when combined with it's predecessor The City of Ember. If I could give my grandchild only 2 books, I would give him these two.
"Ghastly Fun with a Skeleton Detective"
First, the narrator is so perfectly chosen for this book as to be nearly eerie; as though the author first met the narrator then wrote a book around the narrator's voice.
Action packed, magically involved, and all in a "now" time, there is much tension as well in this young adult story of magic, humor and action-packed "fight the bad guys" good moments.
Young Stephanie leads a regular life, with regular (and good) parents and she's truly bored. Then, Stephanie loses a beloved uncle and at his funeral meets someone who will forever change not only her life but her own understanding of who and what she really is: one Skulduggery Pleasant, a person who is so wrapped in clothing one cannot see his features. But that voice...that voice....
Skulduggery is a detective, yes, even as a sort of undead person, and he continues in his vocation as Stephanie insists he must help her find out who murdered her uncle. She feels she owes her favorite uncle that much.
This has violence in it, but somehow the author wraps it up around the edges with true gallows humor.
I found myself laughing in despite. On the second listen, I was far more able to focus on the story and laugh easily at the odd humor. By the third listen, I was pretty crazy for it. This is a tension filled story that is both light with humor and dark with magical doings of both good and "evil" characters. The characters aren't deeply drawn except for the main character and her protagonist, but they don't need to be. The action carries the story forward well.
"Beautiful Story, Need Choice of Narrator"
The paperback version of this trilogy gets a full 5 stars from me. The story is astounding, and far more detailed, of course, than what we will see in it's movie versions.
However, the audio book was frustrating to me. I really don't know how exactly she does it, but somehow Carolyn McCormick adds a dimension to Katniss Everdeen that does not exist in the book version: she sounds like a whiny, rather priggish, sort of self-centered not-nice-word-for-a-girl. And that is NOT the way Katniss appeared to me when I read the actual written paperback trilogy.
So ... needless to say that is a rather large drawback.
On the whole I rely on audio books because I tire very easily and they are much less energy demanding than holding the book and doing the reading myself. I would PREFER to do the reading myself because I get to paint my own picture in my head, even down to each character and the narrator if there is one, but frankly my physical being isn't up to it all the time.
I do wish there was a choice on many books of narrators: at least two narrators for any book or trilogy. (But I guess that would cause a glut of great jobs for narrators.)
The whole story is here; all three books. And the words are certainly all there. If this narrator appeals to you rather than offends or irritates, you'll love it as much as reading it yourself.
The story is a simple yet profound one: how far is too far when the "leaders" take everything and take over and the "people" are left with imminent threats to their survival? This trilogy paints a grim, yet possible story of one way that could all come about.
I would say common sense should keep this at age 13 years or above.

SportDjokovic downs Murray to win in Miami World number one successfully defends Miami Masters title beating Scotland's Andy Murray in straight sets. 01 Apr 2012 20:13 GMT | Sport, Tennis, Scotland Djokovic becomes just the third man to win the Miami title three or more times [EPA] World number one Novak Djokovic defeated Britain's Andy Murray 6-1 7-6 to win the Sony Ericsson Open for the second consecutive year on Sunday. Djokovic's victory was his third at Miami and avenged his 2009 loss to Murray here at Crandon Park. "I thought I played a great match from the start to the end," Djokovic, who did not drop a set throughout the tournament, said during an on-court interview. "But with such a quality player you really never know, that's why he's right at the top. He always comes back even if you feel that you have control of the match so I am really happy to close it out in straight sets." Turning point The Serb got a grip on the match, breaking in a long and compelling fourth game when Murray twice made unforced errors on his backhand on game point. The Scot responded positively and had break point on the next service game from Djokovic but his opponent turned on the power to hold. Murray's backhand let him down again in the next game and two shots into the net allowed the Serb to break and serve out to take the set comfortably. The second set was tighter but Murray had to work much harder to hold his serves and failed to get a break point against the confident 24-year-old. Djokovic ran out 7-4 winner in the tie-break to follow up his Australian Open title with his second win of the year.Source: Reuters

Perhaps the strongest storm of all time, Super Typhoon Haiyan has touched down in the central Philippines, leaving widespread death and devastation in its path. Landing on Samar earlier today, streets have been flooded and power and communications have been knocked out. At least three people have been killed and four people injured on account of the violent storm, and that number is only expected to climb.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. some 125,000 took refuge in evacuation centers and hundreds of flights have been canceled.
With sustained winds of 195 miles per hour and gusts as strong as 235 miles per hour, Haiyan may be the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land anywhere in recorded history.
According to witnesses, the worst was over quickly, but the damage was still severe. "About 90 percent of the infrastructure and establishments were heavily damaged," Gwendolyn Pang, the secretary general of the Philippine National Red Cross said.
Twenty-five areas have been affected areas, she said. Assessment teams were prepared to enter the stricken areas as soon as conditions allowed. "We will be definitely needing more support for this one," she says. Flood waters were reported as high as 10 feet.
Officials have been overwhelmed by the storm's severity. A field communications specialist for the charity World Vision Maryann Zamora says that her organization "has been working through so many disasters, so many typhoons -- but this is quite different . This is the strongest I ever felt so far," she said by phone from the island of Cebu.
Haiyan, which is also going under the name of "Yolanda," retained much of its force as it moved westward with sustained winds of 185 miles per hour, putting it well above the threshold for a Category 5 hurricane, the highest category on the Saffir--Simpson hurricane wind scale.
Governor Roger Mercado of Southern Leyte, a province in Eastern Visayas near the storm's path, said Friday morning that fallen trees had made impassable all roads. "We don't know the extent of the damage," Mercado said. "We are trying to estimate this. We are prepared, but this is really a wallop."
Sea travel has also been suspended in many areas and more than 3,000 travelers were stranded in ports.
The typhoon has been predicted to move away from the Philippines later today or early Saturday and head into the South China Sea in the direction of Vietnam.
Meteorologists predict that Haiyan will maintain super typhoon intensity throughout its passage over the Philippines.
Haiyan was so large in diameter that, at one point, its clouds were affecting two-thirds of the country, which stretches more than 1,150 miles.

NTP files patent suits against technology giants
NTP, a patent-holding firm which won a 600-million-dollar settlement from Blackberry maker Research in Motion, now has Apple, Google, HTC Corp., LG Electronics, Microsoft and Motorola in its sights.
The Richmond, Virginia-based NTP filed lawsuits against the six technology giants on Thursday accusing them of infringing its wireless email patents in mobile phones.
NTP, in the suits filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, accused the companies of infringing eight patents it holds for wireless email.
"Use of NTP's intellectual property without a license is just plain unfair to NTP and its licensees," NTP co-founder Donald Stout said in a statement.
He said legal action "is necessary to ensure that those companies who are infringing NTP's patents will be required to pay a licensing fee."
NTP describes its other co-founder, the late Thomas Campana, as the "inventor of wireless email."
In 2006, Canada's Research in Motion, maker of the Blackberry, agreed to pay 612 million dollars to NTP to settle patent infringement claims and to license NTP-patented technology.
NTP has separately filed suits against mobile phone manufacturer Palm and several telecom companies accusing them of patent infringement. Those cases, launched in 2006, are ongoing.
NTP has a licensing agreement with Nokia and the Finnish mobile phone giant was not named in Thursday's suits.
Patent lawsuits are a regular occurrence among technology giants and Apple is currently being sued by Nokia for patent infringement. Apple has fired back a countersuit against Nokia.
Taiwan's HTC and Apple are also currently suing each other over patent claims.
Analyst Jon Ogg of 247WallSt.com said the latest NTP lawsuit could prove to be good news for RIM.
"If RIM has paid its ransom, the others have not," Ogg said.
"This suit could ultimately lead to injunctions and sales halts of competing brands, which could ultimate leave RIM in the most extreme of all outcomes as the only 'legal' smartphone that could be sold via wireless carriers in the US," he said.
