Yup. Understood that. Waiting on some feed back from PC for 919-611 (R1150GS) and 918-611 (R1150RT). It's likely the technology and circuitry for the Wideband Commander and the Powercommander III USB are similar if not the same. But will know more in a day or two.
Can you take a look and see how many wires are in the cable that goes to the Motronic O2 input? Wondering if it is 1 or 2.
One of the things I discovered during my LC-1 project is that the Motronic input is two wire, offset by 140 mV but that it can be driven by a single wire if the voltages are offset.

Julia reminded herself that, after all, she'd been one of the "lucky ones." She'd had a wake and a proper funeral for her husband a week after September 11, one of the first of the thousands of funerals and memorials that would take place over the course of the coming year. As she listened to the rest of us talking that night, she knew she wanted to share her own experience with us. That a funeral hadn't brought her any closure or acceptance. That she was just like us in so many ways. "You know, when I went to the funeral home to pick out a coffin for Tommy..." Julia stopped mid-sentence. "What am I even saying? Ten months later and I still can't believe I'm talking about a coffin for my husband. How is that possible? A funeral for Tommy? At the funeral home I started begging the -- what do you call him, the funeral director? -- to let me see the body, to let me hold his hand or something. I told him I needed to see him because I had to make sure it was Tommy. The funeral director wouldn't let me. He assured me that I needed to remember him as he was." Julia explained that, at that time, she was still convinced that Tommy was alive. She'd figured it out. The CIA must have been so impressed with Tommy's cleverness in getting out of the building, that they'd hired him on the spot. They'd told him he had to go away for a while, but he would be back in a year or two when his mission had been completed. Tommy couldn't be dead.
Julia had a body, a wake, a funeral, a tombstone, and a gravesite. She even got his wallet, cell phone, computer, and Day-Timer, all the things he had with him that day. "But you know what?" she told the rest of us. "All these months later, it hasn't stopped me thinking he's coming back. It hasn't taken away the pain. It doesn't make it any better."
Maybe we'd recognized it from our previous meetings, but at the bar, it was becoming clearer. One of the reasons we were drawn together had to do with the license we gave one another just to talk and talk without worrying about bringing others down or saying the wrong thing or making anyone uncomfortable with the degree of our unhappiness. That night, we traded stories, going back and forth. We were getting to know one another, tracing the invisible threads pulling us together, figuring out the links. We talked about our husbands, how special our time with them had been. It uplifted us to talk about our marriages. Our husbands were our best friends, our soul mates, the men we'd taken it for granted we'd grow old with. We'd had these men in our lives and now they were gone. What were we supposed to do? How were we supposed to move forward? How is it possible to be planning your future one day and the next thing you know, all that planning doesn't mean a thing? We were all asking the same questions. Had nostalgia set in? Maybe every widow thinks her husband is perfect in retrospect.It's much easier to idolize someone who's no longer around, when he's not here to make you roll your eyes when he leaves his dirty underwear on the bathroom floor, or he drives too fast, or hogs the remote control. It wasn't that we thought our husbands were perfect. We'd known they'd had their faults. It was just that we'd tried not to let the petty annoyances come between us. We'd shared a bond that made the inconsequential seem just that.

The "Lady Shiva" Respect Blog
By Jean_Luc_LeBeau 7 Comments
Deadly, elegant, and complicated, Lady Shiva may very well be the greatest assassin in the DCU. She is the mother of Cassandra Cain, grand daughter of the legendary O'Sensei, and former member of the League of Assassins. Here are some of my favorite Lady Shiva moments.
- Unarmed and caught by surprise, Lady Shiva kills twenty ninjas with one shot each.
- Learns a Dozen New Styles a Year.
- After a Great War with Conner Hawke Shiva proves to be his superior. But my favorite part comes at the end when Lady Shiva displays her somewhat unorthodox code of honor. Owing a life debt to Robin, she honors it by sparing her defeated foe.
- According to Batman, Lady Shiva is a Master of ALL fighting forms
- Pre-Crisis Shiva was introduced in the original Richard Dragon series. She was often depicted as his equal.
- During the Blackest Night arc Lady Shiva makes an appearance just to test her skills against a Black Lantern, Vic Sage.
I'll add more as time goes on.

Ten toys that reached the market over the past few years that probably never should have seen the light of day. [Wallet Pop]
Diaper Research Tracks Infant Estrogen Levels
The method, previously used in nonhuman primates, will allow researchers to learn more about the association between estrogen levels in human infants and their long-term reproductive development as well as the development of sex-specific behaviors, such as toy preference or cognitive differences. What's more, the method will also allow researchers to look at how early disruption of the endocrine system affects long-term maturation, a growing concern among researchers and physicians.

Highlighting Gender Promotes Stereotyped Views In Preschoolers
In many preschool classrooms, gender is very noticeable – think of the greeting, "Good morning, boys and girls" or the instruction, "Girls line up on this side, boys on that." A new study has found that when teachers call attention to gender in these simple ways, children are more likely to express stereotyped views of what activities are appropriate for boys and girls, and which gender they prefer to play with.

Social Costs Of Achievement Vary By Race/Ethnicity, School Features
Doing well in school and feeling accepted by your peers are both important challenges during adolescence. Sometimes these don't fit well together, as when teens are ostracized for being smart. A new study has found that such pressures differ for teens in different racial/ethnic groups, and that characteristics of the teens' schools also play a role. [Medical News Today]

His 3rd year will tell the tale of what type of pitcher he is destined to be, IMO.
His 3rd year will tell the tale of what type of pitcher he is destined to be, IMO.
I think the comment regarding his being tired was pretty accurate. The decline in his average FB velocity and increase in SL velocity, while both minor, suggest that he was indeed a bit tired. There's no doubt that 2009 was not the step forward in performance we had all expected. However, I do think Cueto started to display increased maturity in his approach towards the end of the season, maintaining more of an even keel. I think coming in to 2010 fresh and with 2 years of experience on a major league mound under his belt will serve him quite well.
On fangraphs, I have him down for 195 IP and a 3.75 ERA and slight improvements in both his K/9 and BB/9.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I think a lot of people forget Cueto was one of the best starters in the NL through the first three months last season. After his start on July 1st, Cueto had a 2.69 ERA in 103.2 innings pitched. Soon thereafter, he became a disaster in his following eight starts before going on the DL with what he described as a dead arm from pitching in Winter Ball/World Baseball Classic. After he returned from the DL on August 31, Cueto posted a 3.68 ERA in his final six starts (34.2 IP). Cueto was a well above average starter last season except for a stretch from early July to mid-August. I think the extra rest from not pitching Winter Ball is really going to benefit him in 2010.
I do agree that he should throw his changeup more. It's a nasty pitch when he throws it.

The melodies are mostly jaunty and the stoner harmonies solar-powered enough to lull around your brain but there's no disguising the fact it's a disappointingly one-dimensional record stuffed with half-baked ideas ("The Start") and devoid of a single original thought.
It's not going to change the musical horizon, as there's absolutely nothing new here. But the oldies – the hilarious Chicken Payback, the beautiful 50s ballad I Love You, or the exuberantly wonderful One Glass of Water – are strong enough to make this both a worthy successor and a promise for the future.

Re: traveling with an infant
Hmmm ... not the ideal place to travel with a baby, but assuming that you have no choice but to go, here are a few ideas that will hopefully be of help.
You don't mention where you're from, so I have no idea of how familiar you are with living in the developing world or living in tropical environments. So excuse me if I work from a departure point that you're from the first world and and not used to living in tropical environments.
Probably your biggest challenge will be to find a reliable and affordable supplier of nappies (diapers). These will most likely be imported, so expensive if you can find them, and supply will not necessariy be guaranteed. Just in case you can't find them (or deem them too expensive), the fallback situation is to use conventional terrycloth nappies, which I am pretty confident that you will be able to find locally. These need to be used in conjunction with rubber pants (to prevent leakage) and pins to close the nappy which might not be readily available, so I'd go equipped with supplies of both of these. When our daughter was a baby, we used terry nappies because there was a very affordable local service provider who laundered and folded the nappies, but we did find that although this was fine for daytime, it wasn't very comfortable for her at night and caused her to wake up more often. Our compromise was to use terry nappies during the day, and disposable nappies at night, and this might be a good compromise if you can access only a limited supply of disposables and/or they're astronomically expensive.
Getting cream for nappy rash may also be a challenge - in general, breastfed babies don't seem to have so much of a problem, but once you start to introduce solids, it is a harder issue to manage, and our son (who self-weaned early) suffered terribly from this. The best treatment is to use a good barrier cream to try and prevent it occuring in the first place (so bring some of this), but despite your best efforts, there are times when it develops and you need something to treat it with. I found Bepanthen and Antipeol worked best, even it is expensive, so bring supplies with you just in case. We also found that sprinkling the nappy with cornflour (corn starch) really helped with preventing baby rash developing.
Your child will probably be working up to teething, so teething gels could come in handy. Teething rings are also useful - we found the ones that had liquid inside and could be popped into the freezer so that the cold helped to numb the baby's gums were particularly helpful.
Good bottles may also be hard to come by and you'll probably need to use these to supplement fluids even if you're still breastfeeding (especially in a hot climate). I found the Avent brand very good and very hard wearing - but be sure to bring a supply of replacement teats as they don't last forever (especially once your baby starts to get teeth).
In humid conditions, babies can easily pick up skin irritations, so baby talcum powder is helpful, particularly around joints.
And as your little one will probably start to try and walk during your time there, some medication for the inevitable bumps and bruises is likely to be required - we found products based on arnica (but especially formulated for kids) worked really well.
Lastly, have you checked whether your child will be due any vaccinations whilst you are there? In South Africa, children in this age range would usually have the following vaccinations:
9 Months Measles Vaccine
12 Months Hepatitis A Vaccine (Paediatric), Varicella Vaccine (Chickenpox) and Conjugated Pneumococcal Vaccine
15 to 18 Months Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccine
If so, then bring your vaccination certificate so that the relevant stamps for vaccines that are administered can be entered. If there's any doubt about whether the vaccines are available, I suppose that you could try and procure them and bring them with you. However, if you do this, you will have to ensure that they are transported under the recommended conditions (which usually means that they must be refrigerated) and it would be advisable to bring documentation with you to confirm what they are to customs officials.
Hope this helps!

Re: traveling with an infant
Cathy has already given a very thorough advice, therefore just one small addition: While Bujumbura is definitely not offering a lot on supplies for a baby or toddler, Burundi is a small country. If you go to Kigali - just a comparatively short distance, really - you will have a Nakumatt supermarket where you can up on a number of supplies, like diapers, baby bottle, baby formula etc. But yes, come prepared with as much as possible, because the odds that you will find replacements easily are rather dim

Re: traveling with an infant
Dear Cathy and Sphynxxs
Thank you very much for very fast and helpful advises!
I'm going shopping tomorrow for all that you you suggested.
One more question did you (and your children) take any anti malaria? I have heard that when going for a longer period of time its better not to take them. Just in case of flu symptoms see th doctor.
I'm from Poland, I was in Burundi once, two years ago I stayed there for a month. This time will be longer because my husband is working there.
Thanks again Magda

Re: traveling with an infant
Hi Magda
I never took my children into malarial zones before they were old enough to take the prophylaxis (about 3).
The jury is out about taking the medication long term - the old style drugs tended to have nasty side effects (hearing loss and damage to internalnorgans) but the new generation drugs are vastly improved.
The trick is not to get bitten in the first place, so the usual precautions work best: mozzie mats, repellents, nets, spray the house to get rid of mozzies in residence and cover up exposed skin between dawn and dusk.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

School: UCLA | Position: Quarterback | Height: 6024 | Weight: 225 | Forty: 4.55 | Class: 2017
Hometown: Chandler, AZ | Year: Sophomore | Dob: 6/15/93 | Projection: 1st Round | Pro Comparison: Randall Cunningham
- Possesses prototypical size and arm strength. Shows velocity and zip on his passes.
- Dual threat quarterback. Pocket-passer first, does a good job of reading through his progressions. Great mobility in the pocket and dangerous on the run—long strides and vision allow him to pick up yards in bunches.
- Clean nosed prospect; no off-field incidents up to this point of his career. Noted for being a good student, team leader and film-study junkie.
- Receiving NFL style of coaching under Bruins head coach Jim Mora Jr and staff. Has really improved his ball release in terms of speeding up his delivery and getting rid of the ball quicker.
- Below average accuracy on medium-deep ball range. Displays a longer windup on deeper throws.
- Most snaps taken from shotgun formation—footwork will be a question mark.
- Game still raw, as he flashes big time potential but can also negate good plays by making poor decisions. Needs all-around polish and better decision-making.
- Has worked with Jeff Garcia, Philip Rivers, Tim Tebow and Brock Osweiler during the offseason entering his 2014 campaign.
- Bloodlines: Father, Brett Sr., was a running back at the University of Arizona, and his uncle played quarterback at Wichita State.
- Has executed punts successfully for the Bruins.
- Could be the first quarterback selected in the first round since Cade McNown (1999).
"Here's the thing about Brett, he's a thrower. He's a passer first. It would be awful for people to characterize Brett as a running quarterback. He's a quarterback who has great running ability if he needs it. When the NFL comes to evaluate him in earnest, they will absolutely fall in love with him. I can tell you unequivocally he's a first-round pick. He will be a star in the NFL." --UCLA HC Jim Mora Jr.
"To me, if you say, 'What does he have an opportunity this year to work on, or things that will help him as he moves on to the next level?' You've heard me and others say it a million times: He's a tremendous, athletically gifted quarterback, but just to continue to make the plays within the pocket, throwing the football and reading defenses. It's been a while since we've had a player of his caliber or had the attention on the program," –Former UCLA QB Troy Aikman
"I love Brett Hundley because he is a big, physical specimen that is an accomplished passer even at a young age and was very dominant in high school. What he did at UCLA was outstanding," --QB Guru Steve Clarkson

Cardinal Football Takes Second! C/O Emily Tropp @ RRSTAR
November 27, 2010Stillman Valley High School
All Stillman Valley wanted was seven measly yards. Just seven more yards, and then the Cardinals would try for a game-winning field goal.
But seven yards is a lot to ask in a state championship football game. In trying to get from the 22- to the 15-yard line, Carthage Illini West got in the way.
"With the wind, we knew we had to get a little bit closer for a field goal opportunity," Stillman Valley coach Mike Lalor said about his final drive of the game, which ended in an interception by Illini West with 28 seconds remaining. "We had no timeouts left and 30-some seconds and were just trying to get the ball out to the edge and get out of bounds. (Illini West senior Ser Whitaker) made a great play on it.
"I'd certainly like to have that one back."
Stillman Valley's hopes of winning its fifth state title in 12 years ended with a 22-20 loss to Illini West in the Class 3A title game at Champaign's Memorial Stadium. Trailing by two points, the defending champion Cardinals had the ball and the momentum as they drove downfield in the closing seconds to try to set up a field goal attempt by senior Isaac Robert. But the Chargers (14-0) ended the game with Whitaker's interception, leaving the Cardinals stunned and saddened by how close they almost came to repeating.
"I knew it was all on them," Whitaker said. "The clock was running down and they had to score, so I knew all the pressure was on them."
The way the game ended was heartbreaking for Stillman Valley (13-1), especially after the way the Cardinals had fought back to have a shot at winning the game.
Stillman Valley started the game with two fumbles for a loss and five penalties for 35 yards in the first two quarters. Other than Adam Cox's 68-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, Illini West owned the first half and led 8-6 at the break.
"It was unfortunate," Lalor said. "We didn't play really sharp there, and we probably could have had a couple of scores on the board, and we didn't. In a game of this magnitude it usually comes back and gets you, and it certainly did today."
Stillman Valley took its only lead of the game at the end of the third quarter on a 4-yard run by Eric Boettcher, but the Cardinals' 14-8 lead lasted only a few minutes.
The conversion run after Whitaker's touchdown failed, keeping Stillman Valley within one touchdown of the Chargers.
Stillman Valley's Nate Bond then followed the Chargers' last scoring drive with a 98-yard kickoff return, which is an IHSA record for longest kickoff return for a touchdown in state finals history. But the conversion attempt failed, and Illini West maintained a two-point lead.
The Cardinals had two more attempts to score, but the Cardinals went 3-and-out on their next drive, and their final drive ended in the interception.
"Everything was going our way on that last drive," Cox said. "We had just had two completions right in a row, and (Whitaker) just made a great play. (Stillman Valley quarterback Dane Green) didn't do anything wrong, he just made a great break on that ball.
"The fumbles early, we didn't want those. But we came back and fought, and everybody showed we had guts and never quit on each other. I couldn't ask for anything else."
Cox finished with 134 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries. He said he was about 80 percent in the game after spraining his ankle in Stillman Valley's quarterfinal win against Aurora Christian.
This was Stillman Valley's fifth state championship appearance since 1999 and first loss.
"I think it was a great high school ballgame," Lalor said. "I'd obviously love to be on the other end. But our kids never quit. I wish things would have turned out a bit differently in the end, but we showed we are champs and we never quit.
"It's been a fantastic ride."

Two films tap the blues from Chicago's Chess Records
"More people are coming down to the building after the movie," said Alex Dixon, vice president at Willie Dixon Blues Heaven Foundation, which is named for his bluesman grandfather and operates tours at the studio. "We're getting more traffic on our MySpace page."
The movie has helped a new generation discover blues music, Martin said. Etta James' "The Definitive Collection" is back on the Billboard charts, as is the soundtrack for "Cadillac Records," which features Beyoncé's cover of James' "At Last" and Wright growling through Muddy Waters' "I Can't Be Satisfied."
Martin consulted with Chess on the label's most famous songs, which he controls.
"(It) is great – that's what I wanted," said Martin of the renewed interest. "I always told people, 'I swear to you, if we do it right, people are going to start buying the music again.' "
Even with his mixed emotions over the film, Chess said, "I love the fact that it's exposing this music. More people know more about it now than ever before."
He adds: "But it's still amazing there are two films about my family."

Mats Zuccarello has proven he has NHL ability, even if he hasn't proven he can score consistently over an 82 game season. However at this stage, whoever the Rangers employ for a scoring role among the top nine wing positions, they will be taking a calculated risk, especially when you look at the alternatives – viable or not – that are still available in free agency.
With a ten percent cushion on the cap over the summer, the Rangers shouldn't be worrying about squeezing Zuccarello in. Given the likely amount he'll command, he is worth the commitment, and the Rangers will surely be able to move a half million or so if needed. When looking at alternatives, it is pretty shocking what some players are rumoured to be commanding.
The Detroit Red Wings decided to go down the Daniel Alfredsson and Stephen Weiss route rather than keep Damien Brunner on board. A large part of that decision by Wings' brass will have been about value for money, as Brunner is rumoured to be commanding over $3.5m despite just one abbreviated, yet promising season under his belt. Clearly, the going rate in the NHL is shooting up if you command $3.5m for a 12-goal rookie campaign. It's this reason why the Rangers need to keep Zuccarello.
Zuccarello will likely cost no more than $2m, if only because he's yet to do it over a full NHL season. While Zuccarello and Brunner are different player types (and arguably have different ceilings), Brunner's demands suggest the Rangers will be hard pressed to get a player of Zuccarello's ability (and organisational fit) at the same price.
Rumours have started that with Ryan McDonagh and Carl Hagelin signed, and the assumed Derek Stepan asking price, the Rangers may struggle to give Zuccarello enough dollars. With McDonagh eating up almost $5m in cap and Stepan likely to be not far behind him once signed, Glen Sather needs to get value for money wherever he can. For an additional scoring forward, staying within the organisation and sticking with Zuccarello is the most likely route to successfully filling out the roster. Sometimes it's about value for money.

Ex-players call NFL brain-injury panel a 'sham'
PHILADELPHIA Lisa McHale wishes her husband had lived long enough to learn more about the links between concussions and long-term brain injuries.
Her husband Tom, an All-Ivy athlete who played in 87 NFL games from 1987 to 1995, died of an overdose in 2008 after battling depression and a painkiller addiction. An autopsy later showed he suffered from traumatic brain injuries. But she said it helps that more players now go public with their neurological problems, including some of the thousands now suing the NFL over concussions.
"To know it wasn't his fault, that there was something going on neurologically, it helps," McHale said in Philadelphia on Tuesday, where lawyers for the NFL and for more than 4,200 former players argued over whether the complaints belong in federal court or, as the NFL believes, in arbitration.
A lawyer for the former players argued that the NFL "glorified" violence and profited from damaging hits to the head.
Players' lawyer David Frederick also accused the league of concealing the emerging science linking concussions to neurological problems for decades, even after the NFL created a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury committee in 1994. The panel was led by a rheumatologist.
"It set up a sham committee designed to get information about neurological risks, but in fact spread misinformation," Frederick argued at the pivotal federal hearing to determine if the complaints will remain in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Anita Brody's decision could be worth billions to either side.
About one-third of the league's 12,000 former players have joined the litigation. Some are battling dementia, depression or Alzheimer's disease, and fault the league for rushing them back on the field after concussions. Others are worried about future problems and want their health monitored.
A handful, including popular Pro Bowler Junior Seau, have committed suicide.
NFL lawyer Paul Clement insisted that teams bear the chief responsibility for health and safety under the players' collective bargaining agreement, along with the players and their union.
"The clubs are the ones who had doctors on the sidelines who had primary responsibility for sending players back into the game," Clement said at a news conference after the court hearing.
Brody appeared most interested in whether the contract specifies that head injuries are workplace safety issues that belong in arbitration.
"It has to be really specific. That's what I have to wrestle with," she said.
Frederick called the contract "silent" on latent head injuries, and said players therefore have the right to seek damages in court.
Brody is not expected to rule for several months, and the case could take years to play out if her ruling is appealed, as expected.
Players and relatives on hand for the hearing included Kevin Turner, a former Philadelphia Eagles running back now battling Lou Gehrig's disease; Dorsey Levens, a veteran running back who made a 2012 documentary on concussions called "Bell Rung" and Mary Ann Easterling, whose husband, former Atlanta safety Ray Easterling, was the lead plaintiff in the litigation before he committed suicide last year.

In fact the players in question played one match in playoffs and lost in straight sets. He mostly plays dubs with a .500 record.
Let's see...these guys (

They are young, and athletic. Yes...they move well...and play pretty well.
Would you say they play better than the guy in dark blue/black we are all talking about from the OP??
They are both arming the ball, especially the right hander. The leftie is slightly cleaner, but our dark clothing guy in the op has clearly better, more repeatable technique on groundstrokes, especially the forehand side. He's using quick unit turns, racquet head up, hits the ball cleanly, has good margin over the net, is precise and close to the lines, and generally hits his forehand with more purpose than BOTH guys in the 4.5 video. Their serves are similar. They make a few winners, but also make more wild errors than the guy I'm talking about. Pace is similar, but consistency would go to the guy in the OP.
Let me just get this right...are you DEBATING the fact that the guy I'm talking about is clearly better than 4.0 ???
I've made clear where I stand...and given the choice to place a bet on who would win 3 out of 5 matches between the guy in the OP and any of the two 4.5's in the video I posted, I would put my money on the guy in the OP. He's just cleaner...and his technique is more correct and more repeatable.
In my view, there is no way in h3ll he is a 4.0, and the guys who are even stating 3.5 ratings are talking out of their arses.
I understand your problem with my "benchmark 4.0's", how do you comment my general opinion with regards to the ratings though ?? I'm pretty sure you have a better clue about these things than most of the people who were declaring their ratings loud and clear in this thread...so lets hear it.
P.S. I'm fairly sure that most of the guys commenting on the so called lack of pace are fooled by the lack of sound in the video. Yes...sound matters when it comes to perception of pace...

Posted March 6, 2012
I picked up Theft of Swords nearly three weeks ago, looking for a new book or series to read. I read the back, trying to get a feel for the book. It looked interesting but I was not going to get my hopes up. All I expected was a decent story. I was proven wrong. The story was not decent. It was brilliant. Sullivan begins the story with the two main characters on a mission. While many books take a while to draw you in, Theft of Swords abandons that, drawing you in on the first page. And it does not relinquish it's hold.
In my reading, I have found that many authors have "filler" sentences and chapters. While these are okay, they often detract from the story. Throughout the Riyria Revelations, I cannot think of a single word, let alone sentence or chapter, that I would call "filler". There were many times that a character was introduced, one whom I THOUGHT was "filler" and would simply disappear. Time and time again, I was proven wrong. The character would be introduced again, be it a chapter or a book later, and would interact with the main characters, Royce and Hadrian, proving vital to the progression of the story.
If I were to identify one thing I think Sullivan does that is truly exceptional, I would have to say CHARACTERIZATION. Throughout the series, Sullivan carefully describes the characters, giving them their own lives and meaning. After reading the series, there is not a single character that I do not identify with (and understand). To use a cliché, the characters "jump of the page", taking over your mind and thought. Ultimately, this is a goal all writers have: to make the reader understand their characters, enjoy them, and find entertainment with them. This does not always happen, however, and the impressive thing Sullivan accomplished is not only pulling it off with one or two characters but each and every one of them. Literally.
I am an avid reader, always have been, and always will be. Bookshelves adorn the walls of my house, the one in my bedroom reserved for my favorite books. The top shelf (on the far left) is specifically reserved for my favorite book, or series. This is where my copy of the Riyria Revelations now reside. I also have each of them on my Nook (tablet), Apple iPad, and Apple iPhone so I can have them wherever I go (literally). I have heard it said many times that a great book is one that you feel you can read over and over again. I do not always agree with this statement. There have been books I have read that I would classify as great that I would not read again, at least for a very long time. Riyria: I will read over and over again. I know it. I cannot now. I am in college, currently struggling my way through a week of midterms before Spring Break, and I want to try out a long list of books I have stored in Notes on my iPhone. But come summer in a couple months, after I have gotten through four or five of the sixty books on my reading list, I have no doubt that I will return to the Riyria Revelations for another, in depth read. For me, Riyria was not just a great series. It is my favorite series and Sullivan, whom I had never heard of before has become my favorite author. I am looking forward to what the future brings in terms of his writing and hope, or pray, that he will return to it (and publish more) someday.

Excellent Character-Driven Fantasy
I'm absolutely blown away. Part of me feels like I'm betraying some of my favorite epics with the new guys on the block, but I find myself so impressed and infatuated, I can't help but get lost in my admiration. Sullivan is quickly climbing *the list* of my all-time favorite authors, because he's created such wonderfully exciting characters inside a beautifully constructed adventure. I call it an adventure because there's a huge difference between reading a story and being pulled into an adventure. Those who've experienced a great book know what I'm talking about.
Where to start? How to start? The problem is, I want to go and dive right back into the story, and am a little sad the ride is over. This review comes at the end of the third installation, because I didn't want to stop after the end of Rise of Empire to write a review, and immediately jumped right into Heir of Novron. In fact, I've neglected editing on my own novel to enjoy a few days of adventure in the land of Elan.
Okay, I'm pushing emotion aside and getting down to the stone foundation of the story. After being so impressed and blown away with Theft of Swords, I happily jumped right into Rise of Empire and was so excited to find that it picks right up where the first installation left off. Well …sort of. I expected to instantly meet my new favorite pair of heroes, but instead was introduced to a new character, Amilia. It took only about a page and a half to get over my disappointment at not immediately meeting Riyria, before I was totally consumed with compassion for this poor girl, and dripping with disdain for the wretched hag, Edith Mon. I know how hard it is to introduce a new character into an already established story. But characterization and development is one of Sullivan's greatest strengths. He doesn't use descriptions that haven't been used before, especially in the fantasy realm, but he masterfully uses what's familiar in such a way as not to bombard or heavily compound them to drown the reader. He delivers just enough saturation to whet the appetite, and then allow the imagination to fill the gaps. I, for one, appreciate that.
The story then re-introduces us to Thrace, a brave girl who overcomes some very difficult obstacles in Theft of Swords, again … sort of. Sullivan does an exceptional job of describing the shell of a person whose survived great tragedy and loss. Anyone familiar with survival would have little problem instantly relating to Thrace's (now re-named Modina) state, or the compassion and understanding of Amelia's role in her life. This again, is a testament to Sullivan's ability to master the art of characterization. I'm a character-driven reader and writer. I'm always more interested in what's going on in, and about, a character. The personal journey of a character is more important than the physical journey in my book (both metaphorically and literally). I wasn't expecting this aspect of the story, but definitely found myself completely immersed, both intellectually and emotionally. (Yes, I'm using a lot of "ly" adverbs. LOL! I must be disciplined when using them in writing novels, but when it comes to reviews – I let them fly.)
Just when I've about forgotten about Hadrian and Royce, being so completely immersed in Modina and Amilia, the boys make a return, and it's like diving into a pool of cool water after a time sunbathing. I don't know why I call them boys, because there's nothing boyish about them, except their curt sense of humor. But even they are not the same upon arrival in this second book. Hadrian is in a sort of depression because he's reached a point in his life where he desires to step into maturation – living up to his potential and fulfilling some divine purpose. He's tired of running from responsibility and facing his destiny. Royce on the other hand, the carefree and careless wanderer, finds himself in love. Both, love and purpose pull our heroes into different directions. There's so much involved with these two characters that it would probably take several books just to explain it all. And not just these two, but most of the secondary and third characters as well (Princess Arista, Esrahaddon, King Alric, Hilfred, Degan, Mauvin, Gwen, Magnus, Arcadius, etc.,I could go on, but what's the point. They all have their own stories and development, and I've come to love and hate them respectively).
In an effort for Princess Arista to prove useful in her male-dominated world, she leads Royce and Hadrian on a quest to try and partner with the rebel forces fighting against the new empire (Boy! That sounds like a Star Wars episode), but find things don't happen as easy as she imagines. Her pampered and protected world, and everything she believed and was used to, crumbles around her, and she discovers who she really is beneath the rubble, dirt and persecution, and it happens to made of some pretty strong steel. I've come to admire this character. While she has flaws, and makes some bad decisions (she is human after all), she's not weak and needy. There's nothing I hate more than a woman who can't function on their own strength, or find their own identity, without a man. Loving someone should be a choice, not a necessity, and Arista is a great example of the ideal woman in my mind. She's also one of the great heroes in this story. She may not fight with a sword of metal, but her wit is a very sharp blade. In this second installation (or the third and fourth parts), Sullivan allows us to take that journey with Arista through all her encounters, failures, mistakes, and her achievements, discoveries and successes.
Like I said earlier, the thing I love most about this series is that it is character driven, even when it comes to the back story, as our characters move through the historical, political, and religious chess board. Again, there's no new elements in this story that can't be found in a dozen fantasy stories already written, but how those elements are used, displayed and manipulated is what makes this story stand out from the rest. It's like a painter. All painters use the same colors, but what makes them different is how they mix them and apply them to the canvas. Sullivan is an excellent artist with a great vision, and I love the masterpiece he's presented.
I don't want to give too much away with the plot, so I think I'm going to end this review here, and finish it on the last segment of this series. I just hope I was able to convey what I feel is the BEST element of this story and it's made other readers rush out to experience it for themselves. I wish Mr. Sullivan the best of luck with this series and hope it brings him much, much, much success.
Till next time,
~T.L. Gray

I'm reviewing the 2 books individual
Nyphron Rising:
Once again Michael Sullivan has delivered an amazing story. I love how these stories are complete in themselves yet there is the underlying thread through them all, and growing more evident. Michael gives you all the pieces from the previous books to refresh your memory or if you haven't read them so you know what is happening.
This book has our wonderful thieves; Royce and Hadrian, but also the amazing character Princess Arista. In the story Princess Arista stays true to here character, yet she seems real in that she has her moments of doubts and anxieties in herself and what she is doing - wondering if what she is doing is right for all. Arista is a strong women in these stories and is not a normal princess: in always having beautiful dresses, sitting in the castle doing needlepoint, and not thinking of politics. She is willing to do what it takes to save her country and help others, along with using the magical arts she learned from the powerful wizard Esrahaddan and her professor, in magic, Arcadius.
I have had thoughts and questions on the characters and the plots. In each book Michael has answered these questions and has added to or solved the thoughts on the plots. In doing this I have come to realize the answers are true because I can think back and remember a word here and a sentence there that were used to take me through this remarkable path to the solutions.
Emerald Storm:
Michael has outdone himself, again. With each book I am amazed at how the story has grown, and each book is better than the last - which were impressive in themselves. Michael keeps raising the bar with each book.
The Emerald Storm starts shortly after Nyphron Rising's ending. The first chapter briefly mentions previous happenings, yet blends many new happenings; an assassination plan, and a whole new set of issues now present in the change of seasons and rules.
We visit different areas of the world and learn more about the different races and creatures. We go on a sea voyage, hike through the jungle, and fight a few battles - at sea and on land. Not only does each section of the journey build for the end of the book giving more details of what is happening, but they have their own peaks and valleys to keep me turning the pages and had my heart racing at times all to find out what happens next. This was a book I found very hard to put down. There is a great combination of conspiracy, mystery of a missing person, and a little of magic mixed into this fantasy world.
New dangers are in the works for the world of Avryn. New, threatening enemies and possible destruction come to the surface in this story. But one always seems to remain and working closer to their goal...The Empire.
In the end Michael left me shocked and my jaw hanging open. I enjoy when an author can get a few twist and turns in on me I didn't foresee. This book did not let me down, and actually exceeded my expectations on all levels. I am left wanting to run out and buy the next book!
In both books: Many old characters return, along with new characters who help grow the world. These characters have come to life for me through these books. There is humor in the characters. There is a respect between characters and caring which is all earned. We also start to get more details on some of the ccharacters to help place more pieces of the puzzle together. We come across new creatures, like the Ghazel - goblins in
