UK and French regulators warn on reporting rules
The Financial Conduct Authority has added its voice to a chorus of warnings that overlapping European rules on derivatives reporting will intensify the confusion market participants are already facing as a result of new reforms coming into force today.
The UK regulator was one of a number of respondents to a European Parliament consultation on the coherence of post-crisis financial services legislation held last year. Responses to the consultation were made public on Tuesday.
The reporting of swap trades was one of three reforms agreed by G20 leaders in 2009 with the aim of reducing systemic risk in the $692 trillion over-the-counter derivatives market.
Up until now, OTC derivatives markets have operated privately between counterparties, allowing risk to build up away from regulatory scrutiny.
As part of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, both listed derivatives and OTC derivatives need to be reported from February 12. The new rule adds to existing reporting obligations under the Market in Financial Instruments Directive II.
The FCA response said: "This potentially leads to double reporting and differences in information reported, which makes it harder for national competent authorities (NCAs) to use the information and is burdensome and expensive for firms. In order to avoid confusion for firms and NCAs we would suggest that all reporting requirements on financial instruments are considered together and rationalised."
Similar concerns were echoed by the French financial regulator L'Autorité des Marchés Financiers, UBS, State Street, UK buyside trade body the Investment Management Association and the FIA European Principal Traders Association, which represents proprietary trading firms.
Remco Lenterman, chairman of the FIA EPTA, said firms trading listed derivatives now have to report three times: to the exchange that lists the contract, to the national regulator under Mifid rules, and to newly-created trade repositories under EMIR.
UBS noted that the different methods of reporting specified in the regulations would make it "impossible" to automate reporting, adding: "This is clearly inefficient and does not...increase transparency or make the available information more useful for its intended users."
A spokesman for Esma said the securities regulator may look for a more harmonised approach to reporting requirements under Mifid and Emir in the near future.
Many firms have been scrambling to meet today's deadline, especially infrequent users of derivatives like corporate firms and smaller investment managers that may not be fully aware of how and what to report.
As well as the operational and legal challenges associated with reporting trades, there are also differences among national regulators that ultimately have oversight for the reporting rules.
John Wilson, global head of OTC clearing at Newedge, said: "Not only do we have overlapping pan-European rules, but there are also contradictory and inconsistent requirements from national regulators when it comes to reporting, such as what constitutes an FX forward."
A spokesman from the FCA said the regulator recognises the challenges and that it would be "proportionate in our response to any instances of non-compliance".
The spokesman added: "Our initial focus will be solving any reporting problems and helping the industry meet the new standards. Firms should however recognise that non-compliance could lead to enforcement action."

Bimini Big Game Is Back
For more than seven decades, the Bimini Big Game Club was a larger-than-life destination on this tiny Bahamian island just 50 miles off the Florida coast.
It once had a marina filled with million-dollar sport-fishing yachts, a bar full of sunburned anglers telling lies and rooms that were booked far in advance. But it fell on hard times after being sold by its long-time owners, the Bacardi family of rum fame. After deteriorating through a series of owners, it closed in 2008.
The good news: Bimini Big Game is back and better than ever.
Founded in 1936, it was a popular watering hole for Ernest Hemingway, who lived and fished (and boozed and brawled) on the island while finishing To Have and Have Not. His time chasing marlin on the Gulf Stream just offshore from Bimini became the basis for The Old Man and the Sea and Islands in the Stream, but Hemingway was just one of the characters who engraved Bimini in popular culture.
First pirates and then rumrunners prowled the waters. More recently, the Bimini Big Game Club docks were where Sen. Gary Hart sank his 1988 presidential hopes when he was photographed with Donna Rice aboard the aptly named yacht, Monkey Business. Controversial Rep. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. also spent his last years "keeping the faith, baby" at his home on Bimini.
The white knight rescuing the resort is world-famous marine artist Guy Harvey (in photo), whose paintings of brilliantly colored fish adorn countless t-shirts and posters held dear by anglers. Harvey–who has enlisted three backers–is also a marine biologist and conservationist, and the reopened resort has partnered with marine research facilities in the area to offer guests visits to their laboratories.
As the first of a planned series of ecotourism Guy Harvey Outpost Resorts, the Big Game Club isn't large–it has 35 rooms, four suites and half a dozen cottages. For those who remember the Motel 6-style rooms of past decades, rest assured that the facilities have not only been totally rebuilt but upgraded as well. The bougainvillea-covered property also has an open-air bar and restaurant overlooking the marina, which has been updated and can now accommodate 150-foot yachts. Famed diver Neal Watson has just opened an onsite Dive Center to provide access to the treasure trove of nearby dive sites.
But the real draw for Bimini Big Game is the Gulf Stream just minutes from the dock. It's a warm-water superhighway for migrating game fish where anglers find record-sized marlin, tuna, sailfish, wahoo and swordfish. Also nearby are wonderful shallow-water flats, home for bonefish and permit.
South Bimini Airport has a 5,400-foot runway and customs/immigration services. Bimini Big Game Club provides transportation to the resort for its guests. For more information, call (800) 867-4764 or visit www.biggameclubbimini.com.

March 17, 2011 —
This morning on 61st and Madison I saw a man walking his cat. The cat had a harness wrapped tightly around its midsection, which was connected to the man's hand by a very thin leash. The cat was huddled as far into the crevice between the sidewalk and the street that it could squeeze, completely freaked out by passing people and cars.
The man stood still, surprisingly patient. He did not pull or push the cat, almost as if it was Day 1 of a longer training plan. His end goal being that the cat would someday be able to walk down the street unafraid. The idea made me chuckle.
I'm just starting a new routine myself these days. Establishing a new and formerly unknown path through the city, a new place to buy coffee, a new subway route. (Don't take the F to 63rd Street. It lets you out six stories underground and it takes 15 minutes to walk up to the street. If you have the choice, I recommend the NR to 59th.)
I am working out of an office on the Upper East Side—heading uptown these days instead of downtown to get to work. It's an area that I don't know very well. There's not a whole lot of places to eat, so that's annoying. But it's right by the park, which will be nice this summer.
I have had many different routines in New York—most of them lasting a year or so, but some slightly longer or shorter. I guess I'm thinking mostly about routines of travel and location. Going from here to there. Home to work. Williamsburg to Canal Street was my routine for a long time. I rather liked that one. Recently I was working on Broadway, right above Houston.
Some of this is the product of being a freelancer. Jobs come and go, start and end and with it the journeys shift and change. I guess what intrigues me most is how much my path through the city influences the things that I see, the people I run into and the stories I tell. I enjoy its fluidity.
I hope I run into the cat on the leash again—maybe in a few weeks when the cat will be more comfortable with his new surroundings. Maybe by then, I'll know the best place to find a cup of coffee and a sandwich. And maybe by then I'll have a spot I like to sit in the park. Or I'll have a Frisbee game to join.
These days I am trying to stay positive about trying new things. It seems that when I'm open and curious, the city shows me a secret. And when I disrespect it, it slaps me down. It isn't as patient with me as the man was with the cat.
But unfortunately in a few weeks I might miss downtown. And maybe when I run into the cat on the leash I'll grab it and together we will make a break for it. We'll head down to the NR and book it out of here.
Deep down, I think that the cat will prefer downtown also. We'll lose the leash and grab some dumplings. Maybe we'll even make it into a routine.

As a whole its not as good as their latest, The Great Mass, but there some standout individual songs. I think Anubis and Sunlight/Moonlight just might be better than anything on what is my favorite album. That is close to blasphemy but this is a great album for sure.

Just discovered these guys. Anubis and Sunlight Moonlight are the stand-outs on the few listens I've had. The whole album sounds very promising!

Since I've listened to Communion and The Great Mass, i'm searching for something similar. This two albuns are really awesome and left me hungry for more! :x

Please help! My daughter just turned five months old. At a little past 2 months, she started sleeping through the night... about a 7-9 hour stretch at a time. She continued this until just past 4 months. For the last month or so, she has reverted to waking up more frequently during the night. She is often up every two hours, sometimes even more often than that. If she sleeps for longer than 3 hours, I am thrilled. As you can imagine, this is very hard on Mama!
At first, I thought maybe this was just due to being sick (she had a minor cold), having a growth spurt, or teething. However, it has now been going on for so long that I doubt it is any of those things. During the day, she eats and behaves normally. She doesn't seem any more irritable than normal or hungrier than normal during the day.
Every time she wakes up at night, I feed her. I try to get her to eat from both sides each night feeding but sometimes, she falls asleep after one breast and after several minutes of attempting to wake her up, I just lay her down.
My question is this... Is there a point at which feeding on demand is no longer recommended? Should I stop feeding her when she wakes up and just try to soothe her other ways? I am afraid that I am spoiling her and that she is just nursing so that she can be with me rather than because she is hungry. How do I know if I am meeting her needs or if I am just being taken advantage of?
I hate the thought of leaving her in her crib to cry if she is truly hungry. I do let her remain in her crib fussing if she has just eaten, but never when she has been sleeping and just woken up.
What should I do? I want to meet her needs but I also want to get her back to her old sleep habits! Has anyone else experienced a baby who was sleeping great and then started waking up a lot more frequently? Any tips?

"I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for my eight-year term," Alvarez said. "Sometimes we think, 'do we have the perfect school board or the perfect school district?' but we've become a team of eight that upholds the standards that are going to get us there. We've come a long way."
Her resignation was effective immediately and in the middle of her term. The board unanimously decided to take the district's traditional approach to filling vacated member positions by appointment. Their other option was to hold a special election.
In other George West Independent School District news:
• Construction is nearly complete on the new high school. The back canopy is installed, and finishing touches are being added to the outdoor walkways with brickwork drainage. The final layer on the interior of the roof is anticipated for completion within the next couple of weeks.
Old school trophies are being added to the display cases as they get moved over. Millwork such as storage cabinets and marker boards are all installed, and 90 percent of the carpet and vinyl tiles are installed.
The library's shelves are installed; the air conditioning has been tested, and all of the restrooms are finished.
"When you look at this, it looks done, and that's why I want that punch list," Superintendent Ty Sparks said. "I don't want to get to Aug. 25 and still have those little things hanging around."
• The board reviewed the policies for reporting suspected child abuse and neglect. Sparks said the district is legally responsible to report suspected abuse to Child Protective Services within 48 hours of suspicion.
"Our teachers are great; by the time they get to me they've already gone online and reported it," George West Police Officer Bob Meakins said.

The Uncataloged Letter: Rossetti letter found in the Charles Roberts Collection
Post by John Washington ('10), former student worker in Special Collections.
This entry is part of our monthly series to highlight entries from the 20,000 letter Charles Roberts Autograph Letter Collection.
While frantically scouring (actually just casually reading) through the names of letter writers in the Charles Roberts Collection, I found an artist/poet that I came to admire, Dante Bariel Rossetti, who I first came to know because of his sister, poet Christina Rossetti. I was excited to write a blog post about Dante Gabriel Rossetti who was famous for poems and paintings like "Song and Music" and "Girl in a Green Dress," respectively. When I started looking through the physical collection, I came upon a folder not listed in the inventory. it was labeled Christina Rossetti! I put Dante Gabriel Rossetti aside for his more "interesting" younger sister.
Christina Rossetti is best known for her poem "Goblin Market." She is British by birth with an Italian background. Christina Rossetti's was devoted to her religion. For Christina Rossetti, her Anglican religion greatly augmented her sickly life. She denied two marriage offers based on the religion, or lack of religion, of the persons asking her—using her writing as a way to talk about her rejections (see poem "Remember").
The letter I found by her in the Charles Roberts Collection is addressed to a Mr. Bryant, possibly William Cullen Bryant—the American poet famous for writing the poem "Thanatopsis." Christina's words are to the point but gentle; just as situations would deem her throughout her life. First letting Mr. Bryant know what was wrong with what he did then letting him off of the hook and accepting him.
Since it is not a long letter, allow me to post it for reading:
Dear Mr. Bryant,
Please do not feel hurt at what I am about to say. More than once I have been applied to by letter from some or other person unknown to me who alleges that you have named me, more or less, as a reference. One such letter reached me this afternoon. In every case I have replied in your favour. But I cannot approve of perfect strangers being thus referred to me. It was a different thing when you told me Mr. Caine knew and could vouch for you, he and I being acquainted; to him there was no difficulty in my writing, and as you know I did write and act on what he told me. I must ask you not to use my name thus to strangers. All the same I remain.
After studying Christina Rossetti for a number of years, I have learned to understand her sense of self (I wouldn't say humor) that she portrays in her writing. This letter excited me because it encompassed her views on life in a few short lines.
Check out the list of other amazing people who have letters in the Charles Roberts Collection! There are American and British poets, scientists, and signers of the Declaration of Independence—just to name a few. This is the perfect place to get an insight into the lives of historical figures that interest you!

Net Zero Cities conference focuses on new approaches in renewables field
- published_in
- News Stories
But it's possible its efforts will, in fact, lead to 500,000 electric vehicles on the nation's roads, said Jacob Ward, senior analyst for the U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Program. That many vehicles would represent a success for Ward, he said.
Ward was one of a number of speakers Tuesday participating in Net Zero Cities. Organized and sponsored by the Northern Colorado Business Report, the cities of Loveland and Fort Collins, CSU Ventures, the Bohemian Foundation and One Tribe Creative, the two-day event highlighted the role that businesses and governments can play in lowering emissions while energy demand increases globally.
On Tuesday, people in the renewable energy business and in government lamented that renewable energy has not seen more success. But they also promoted the industry's progress.
Presentations were heard on topics that included changes in the New York City taxi fleet, the Department of Energy's electric vehicles efforts, and the design of small cities that have the potential to cause little pollution.
Bruce Haxton, an architect from Wisconsin, described cities of the future that convert waste into biofuels and treat gray water for use in surrounding croplands meant to grow food for those cities. He said similar projects have been done.
"If you think this is preposterous, what we're talking about, it's already built," he said.
At another point, Keith Reester, the city of Loveland's director of public works, told of the city's efforts to divert trash from its landfill and recycle more.

Police accuse 13-year-old of arson at Iowa mall
A 13-year-old boy has been accused of starting a pair of fires at a shopping mall in northeast Iowa.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports Mitchel McArthur has been charged with first-degree arson and reckless use of fire.
Police say McArthur started a fire Dec. 15 at a Sears at the Kennedy Mall in Dubuque. No one was injured but damage is estimated at more than $100,000.
An investigation into the first fire led police to a second smaller incident at the mall. Police believe the fire was self-extinguished without causing damage.
The newspaper reports McArthur has been ordered to juvenile detention. He remains in custody.
Online records do not list an attorney for McArthur.

I have a 19mo old that still nurses quite a bit, especially since the new baby was born. My grandma is staying with us and keeps making comments about how she thinks DD is too old. She acknowldegs that its my choice but still thinks I should wean her or that I should have weaned her before the baby was born b/c now its going to be even harder. I dont plan on weaning, but letting her wean. She went to an LLL meeting with me yeaterday and couldnt believe that there were 3 and 4 year olds nursing. She said DD better be weaned by then. I doubt she will and I told her that and she just rolled her eyes.
Fine I have my opinions and she has hers. I tell everyone she will wean when she is ready. She is a big comfort nurser, so what do you say when they say that there are other ways to comfort her than to nurser her. yes, she gets kisses and stuff all the time but she loves to nurse. I just dont know how to twll them thats the way I comfort her. I think pp think its a lazy way to comfort her.
I hope this makes sense. Lots of PG hormones still going crazy and being told I am not doing a good job with my toddler does not help!!!!

Welcome To Rockville -- Jacksonville, FL -- April 27th, 2013
Sorry I'm a few days late but I wasn't able to do this till now.
I had been awaiting this day for the last two months ever since they released the lineup, we had media coverage for this show so our tickets were free, the gates didn't open till 11AM but at 10AM they gave us with media coverage our laminates and let us in, and so for the next hour and a half we just mapped out the venue. And finally at 11:30 the first band of the day Down Theory started.
This band really impressed me, Down Theory had a sort of Sevendust/Nonpoint vibe to them, what was most impressive was even though it was early and they only had around 30 people tops watching them, they were able to keep everyone moving, they also did a cover of "Unsung" by Helmet, they were a great way to start off the day, go check them out. Up next was the band Manna Zen.
I had up until then never heard of this band, they had a thick nu-metal sound, the music itself was great but i couldn't really get into the vocals, the crowd seem to like them a lot though, the singer at one point jumped into the crowd and was trying to get the crowd moving, which they did for a little while, all in all I wasn't really that impressed, it wasn't awful though. After they finished we walked around for a bit and got something to drink and around 1 we headed back over to the stage for Hell Or Highwater.
Hell Or Highwater had a decent sized crowd and most of them sang along to every song they played, their energy was great, at one point their singer got into the crowd and walked to the people in the back laying on towels and he layed next to them and posed for a picture while he was still singing, and then he went around giving lots of high fives until the song ended and he went and got back on stage, overall a very fun set.
1)Crash & Burn
2)Gimme Love
3)Pretty Penny
4)The Boxer
5)Hail Mary
6)Go Alone
7)We All Want To Go Home
After Hell Or Highwater finished we headed over to the main stage to wait for All That Remains to go on stage, but when we got their In This Moment had just started and so we watched them while waiting for ATR, not much to say about ITM, I'm not a fan of theirs at all and I don't understand the appeal in Maria Brink, but to each their own I guess, here's the setlist for those who care.
1)Rise With Me
6)The Beast Within
And now it was time for All That Remains, this was my 4th time seeing them and I always enjoy it, if you've ever seen them live you know what to expect, their sound was great, but they could have moved around a bit more.
1)Some Of The People, All Of The Time
2)Stand Up
3)Down Through The Ages
4)Forever In Your Hands
5)Asking To Much
6)The Last Time
7)This Calling
8)Hold On
9)Two Weeks
And apparently Phil really hurt his foot, because we saw him walking with crutches back stage after their performance. After ATR we headed back to do our interview with Jerry and Tony of Papa Roach, the interview went great, I'll post it later. And when we were walking back outside after the interview, there was a curtain to our right, and i looked over and realized it was Jim Root and Wes Borland having a conversation, which i thought was pretty cool. and we sat down and took a short break, and then headed over to see Whitechapel.
This was my 3rd time seeing WC and it still blows my mind to see what comes out of such a small guy, Phil Bozeman is by far one of the best vocalists in their genre, I think WC unfairly get cast aside and labeled "deathcore" just because they have breakdowns, if you see them live there is no question they are borderline death metal, especially now. Their set was sound and intense, they're always worth checking out live.
1)I, Dementia
2)Section 8
3)Possibilities Of An Impossible Existance
4)The Darkest Days Of Man
6)Vicer Exciser
7)This Is Exile
After WC we went and did our interviews with Farewell 2 Fear and with Escape The Fate, we were suppose to interview Gemini Syndrome as well but they never showed
While we were waiting backstage Halestorm were playing, though I couldn't actually see them I heard the whole set.
1)Freak Like Me
2)Love Bites (So Do I)
3)It's Not You
4)Rock Show
5)Break In
6)A Familiar Taste Of Poison
7)Drum Solo
8)Mz Hyde
9)I Get Off
10)Here's To Us
11)I Miss The Misery
After we finished our interviews we headed back and Bullet For My Valentine started up, we were really there to see Papa Roach after them but watched B4MV while we waited.
1)Breaking Point
2)Your Betrayal
3)Waking The Demon
5)4 Words To Choke Upon
6)Temper, Temper
7)Tears Don't Fall
8)Dirty Little Secret (w/ Lzzy Hale)
9)Scream Aim Fire
Papa Roach made the crowd wait a little longer than expected but it was worth it, I used to be a huge fan of their first 3 albums and so seeing them now for the first time was very nostalgic, their energy and connection with the crowd was great, the sound was perfect and at one point Jacoby went crowd surfing.
1)Still Swingin'
2)Between Angels And Insects
3)Where Did the Angels Go?
5)Before I Die
7)To Be Loved
8)Getting Away With Murder
11)Last Resort
After PR finished we headed back to do an interview with All That Remains, we waiting for 20 or so minutes and they never showed, we were beyond pissed, especially since we had seen them back there several times earlier doing other interviews, but whatever, the interviews we got were great so I'm not complaining.
We watched a few songs from Three Days Grace and then decided we had had enough, I had been sick all week and was still feeling like crap, I had really bad sunburn and was feeling miserable, so we ended up leaving, and yes I hate myself for leaving before Alice In Chains played, but there was no way I could have taken 5 more hours of it, they were the only band I still wanted to see, but hopefully I'll get another chance to see them
Hell Or Highwater
All That Remains

The only thing I don't really understand...Why on earth is Whitechapel on a hard rock bill with bands like BFMV, Papa Roach, ITM, etc...
cool review, thanks for sharing... I like the sets from the bands, and hope I get something similar from some of them at Rock on the range.

The winds of time have become a storm, and things that everyone believes are fixed in place forever are changing before their eyes. Even the White Tower itself is no longer a place of safety. Now Rand, Perrin and Mat, Egwene and Elayne, Nynaeve and Lan, and even Loial, must ride those storm winds, or the Dark One will triumph.
Listen to more books in The Wheel of Time series.

"Explodes with motion, as multiple plot lines either conclude or advance, and the march to Tarmon Gai'don, the climactic last battle between the Dragon Reborn and the Dark One, begins in earnest." (Publishers Weekly)
"The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the...evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades." (The New York Times)
"Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil, but what strikes me as most pleasurable...is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world." (Orson Scott Card)
"Getting us there!"
I loved the first 7 books of this series, and then felt let down by the next three. I kept thinking to myself please just get me to the last battle! And then book 11 came, I almost didn't get this book, I didn't know if I had anymore to give to this series. Well I am so glad I did get this one, it restored my love in the wheel-of-time series. It returned to the core party, it tied off loss ends, and made a very good start at getting us to the final battle. I felt the urgency growing!
I will not give away anything, however I must say there is one very emontional part that was written to tug at the heart strings, and it did, I wanted to join the golden crain and stand by it in the last battle!
If you have read the last 10 books, you must, must get this one! If you are thinking of starting a new series with lot of life I can recommend this one now with no hesitation.
See you at the last battle!
"Better than the last few, but"
Well things finally get moving again in this one. We've been suffering through the last couple of books, but now we've got some action, and finally resolution to a couple of the plot lines. Only problem here is we're still hearing way too much about the Aes Sedai. They still come off sounding like a bunch of spoiled children arguing over their little plots while the world comes apart around them. It seems to come off as petty bickering instead of political intrigue, but you can suffer through that to get the rest of it.
Like others have said, too much Aes Sedai, not enough of Matt, Perrin, and Rand. But if you've gone this far, through 10 books, including a couple that were downright painful, then you'll be pleased with this. Now, stop reading reviews, you know you were going to buy it anyway. Just click add to cart and be done with it...well go on.
"Stuff is happening! It's happening!!"
You didn't make it here if you are not a WoT fan...(except for the one reviewer who seems to think skipping a few books is a reasonable thing to do...).
At any rate - there are no long courtships (well...except for "Precious" and "Toy" - but it's not annoying), everyone has pretty much fallen into his or her role, and we're back on track, making significant progress toward the last battle.
There's excitement, and victories, and...well, there are still 3 more books (was going to be 1, but Sanderson wisely changed it to 3. The first of the three is even better than this one, BTW).
I would strongly suggest going back through the first 11 again before starting the last three - but short of that, DEFINITELY do this one. If you go back and listen/read a second (or more) time, you'll notice that this series is ... amazingly ... coherent...
Anyway - after ... a thousand or two pages of ... seemingly little movement - this book (if not the one before) gets things back on track.
If you're a WoT fan, and I KNOW you are (except the lady who skipped a few books), you WILL like this one.
"So, you'll read it anyhow"
So, if you're like me you're in for a nickel, in for a dime on this series. If you've read the other 10, you're bound to read this just to see what happens.
Welcome to Knife of Dreams, the second to last book of the Wheel of Time series and well...its good, but its no Great Hunt, Shadow Rising, Fires of Heaven, its not even a Crown of Swords.
Dont get me wrong, its still enjoyable because Jordan is finally getting around to fulfilling all of the prophecies and foretellings that characters have had over the last 10 books, but I get the feeling that while he still writes in big blocky paragraphs, he is rushing to tie things up.
Overall, if you've read the entire series you're reading one of the better ones since book 7, but read w/ gaurded expectations as this isnt a mind blowing experience.
"Good luck Robert"
If you follow Robert Jordan you are probably aware by now that he is currently fighting a life threatening disease and his family and fans face the prospect of loosing a literary genius. Robert Jordan has given fans of fantasy one of the great epics, as I write this I pray that he he is given the the time to write us an end for this great work and goes on to create many more. Many thanks Robert and may God speed you back to good health. Start at the beginning and read them all… some slow paced….. some fast….. some lows but many highs…. Overall, authorial brilliance.
"Love the story .. But audio jumps"
Goes without saying, I am a fan of the story. I of course agree it tends to go off in too many side plots, and it is easy to get confused who is on the side of the shadow, pretending to walk in the light. That being said, I am still a fan and can't wait to see how it all ends.
Only complaint about this particular audio book is that in part three somewhere, Reading is narrating a part about Egwene in the Tower, and it all of a sudden jumps to Kramer narrating about Matt or Rand (forget which one), in another part of the book. Feel like I lost some reading there.
"Getting better..."
Well I must say it is indeed getting a little better with this series. The last two editions in this series have been tragic disappointments with one pointless side plot after another. At least with this latest edition of the Wheel of Time, there seems to be a progression of the main story lines as well as some action that was sorely lacking in the last few books. I hope that the next few editions continue on this (hopefully) upward progression back to the original plot lines.
"Better, but only because of Mat Cauthon"
The past 3 books have mostly been awful, if judged on their own and not as a whole with the entire series.
This one is definitely better, but only because of the Mat Cauthon story line. I would have thought I would enjoy Perrin's as well, but it is attached to yet another situation where a bunch of female characters are being held against their will. And, of course, as soon as she is rescued, Jordan immediately writes another set of his female characters to walk with bravado into another obvious situation for things to not go as planned and one of them gets taken against their will.
I agree with many of the other reviews. Jordan is as verbose as ever, but everything reads rushed and sloppy. I can't help but feel that there was too much time spent on things that just don't have enough literary value to the story.
It's worth it just for the Mat Cauthon parts, though. Mat has consistently been the most interesting and consistently quality reading character out of all of the later books. Perhaps making up for the fact that he spent so much of the earlier books annoyingly under the influence of or chasing the dagger from Shadar Logoth.
"Yeah, right, you'll buy it anyway, just like me!"
Sure, read the first TEN books and skip number eleven cause some reviewer didn't like it? RIGHT!! the book was a good one, and I have the same complaint as the other ten from RJ, too heavy with Aes Sedia plotting, too light on the boys, and a total setup for number twelve. Ain't it grand!!
We RJ fans will always happily spend our money on books in this series and complain later, at the same time trying to get our friends hooked on the wheel of time series and extolling it's virtue to the world.
Robert Jordan is know for taking his sweet time with setting up plots and even more for resolving them(even more for describing everything). This book is no different from the other ten in that respect. It starts off really slow, but after about a third of the way through begins to heat up.
Perrin/Faile plot is finally resolved. Mat/Tuon plot comes to a head. And for once all the time spent on Elaynes' story leads somewhere. All in all a huge improvement over the last few books, but still lacking some of the grandeur and pace that made the earlier books so captivating. My biggest complaint is that Rand, once again, barely gets a piece of this book(my favorite character). Rand is so darn cool, use him more RJ.
With one more book to go(supposedly) u wont want to miss out on this one. I almost forgive RJ for the last 3 in the series... almost
"Poor quality recording"
Good book sadly let down be a very poor recording that frequently jumped and seemed to miss the odd sentence
"Coming Together"
It's good to see parts of the many stranded stories within the Wheel Of Time moving towards completion. For a long time it seemed that things were just moving along but now it's difficult to put the book down. Can't wait for the next in the series.
"Great return to form... such a shame though.."
It's a shame that this was Jordan's swan song, as this was a brilliant return to what readers were used to, and completely supassed my expectations.
Book 10 was very hard to finish reading as a novel, and even in audible form, despite the narrators excellent efforts, it was a fairly dull book.
Knife of Dreams not only corrected Book 10's problems, but it is possibly Jordan's best, if not very close to The Shadow Rising. This book has more action in it's prolouge than occured in the previous book!
It sets a relentless pace and moves the storyline along at an appreciated rate.
Mat is extremely funny as always, and this book brings a welcome, if bittersweet ending to the Faile-Shaido story arc.
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading brought their usual good work to the narration, I couldn't imagine Wheel of Time without them!
It was a shame Jordan died afterwards. Sanderson did a great job following up Jordan's work, but Jordan himself will be missed greatly.
"Ruined by interference"
Another excellent reading by the two speakers, although it's amusing hearing the differences in how they do the regional accents.
We'll paced with plenty of action across the characters and loved the Tuon Matt storyline development.
However the recording quality left a lot to be desired with static & stutters appearing every hour or so and although words fluid the appear to be missed it ruined my listening pleasure hence three stars overall.
"brilliant story"
as usual a really good book from Robert Jordan. I marked the review down as there appeared to be some problems with the recording, seemed to be some skipping
"One of the best in series."
This book is always so fun and engaging to listen to. All of the characters are nearing their full potential and the last battle is drawing closer, cannot get enough of it!
"Great Book, Some Technical Glitches."
What I loved: Loial's speech, Nynaeve's plan, and overall great story.
What I disliked: ended too soon for me, and some glitches were present in the audio book which spoiled it a little.
"At Last something has happened"
In the last few books very little actually happened they were just full of padding. However in this book things happen and the story moves on - at last !
"Audio book slightly corrupt "
There were times when the audio book was corrupt. Nothing excessive but there were moments wenn a few sentences would cut out or there would be some noise over the speakers.
"Best book since LoC"
I almost gave up trying to get through book 10...the amount of "arms being folded under her breasts"
Women "sniffing"
"Her face was a mask of Aes Sedai serenity"
It was a struggle, this book however REALLY ramps up the action, things start picking up and characters stories feel like they are getting somewhere, I particularly enjoyed the Mat/Tuon chapters.
This book is a 10/10 IMO.

Game Notes: Texans, Colts, Jags, Chiefs
This off-season, we spent some time watching each and every NFL team again, trying to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses with players we might have missed in the rush of the regular season. The intention was to feel more confident in our analysis for what turned out to be our biggest player profiles ever.We spent more time on some teams than on others, and even the teams we spent the most time on we were only able to watch a handful of games. But we thought it might be cool to publish a series of blogs detailing what we saw from the teams we watched with our raw notes.
These notes were never intended for publication, so forgive grammatical errors or the occasional poor language. Nor were they intended to be comprehensive, or definitive takes on fringe players (especially WRs, who are difficult to watch on TV angles). We simply thought it'd be a neat way to show a little extra insight into some of the players that we might not have felt like we had a great grip on this season.

lol thats a nice team, 1 problem NO hashirama :flaw: :rofl:

Dude .. Did u read manga when every kage fought
5 clone of madara ..
Madara is OP
naruto can make clones, obito has 6 bijuu and won't be touched by madara... Itachi has susanoo and that sword to seal clones, minato can seal clones and hes muuuch faster and nagato can absorb chakra, CT, summons.. so 25 madara clones vs Naruto BM with his clones and tbb, obito with 7 tbbs hell he can even take madara to his dimension and leave him there, minato with his speed and expert sealing abilties , and genius, itachi with susanoo with yata mirrow and T sword, and nagato wirh CT ,summon, chakra absorbing, and can revive thedead.... id take this team of 5 100/100.times

her slaps would be like amaterasu and her punches like susanoo's punches
lol ima do that now , nice team, im thinking maybe i should ban kabuto too

oh ok...
1. Izuna MS
2. Edo Nagato
3. Edo Itachi
4. Obito MS+rinnegan+HashiDNA
5. Naruto BM....
Since only tajutsu appears to work, I would pick
Shikamaru for strategy and understanding of Madaras abilities.
Naruto to counter huge mokuton attacks, or huge attacks from perf. susano. Also his SM clone will fight Madara with tajutsu.
Gai for tajutsu, since ninjutsu wont work, and of course 9 gates.
Choji he works perfectly with shikamarus plans. Also he will eat his pills and grow huge wings etc., literally becoming a monster with no brain, but shikamaru will make sure he wont screw up
Minato well I realized it's impossible to use only living shinobi when I can't even use the kages.. So Minato is needed for speed, sealing, and close combat, as well as brain. And he will have faith in Naruto as well boosting him 10 %

Madara is OP
Beat five kages arent the same as beat obito nagato minato naruto and itachi you know.
Let me think...
Itachi is a must, for knowledge about susanoo, master strategist, and besides Madara and Obito, probably the most capable ninja out there.
Obito, Since he's just that powerfull, though I'd expect Madara to extract the ''Zetsu'' body from him if he turned.
Oonoki, simply because he has a huge attack range and power.
Minato, since he's fast, doubt it'll matter to Madara much though.
Kakashi, kamui can be quite a life saver ( and they'll be in need of that a lot ), and can strategize together with Itachi.
This team would perhaps give Madara some trouble, but then again, 5 men are just not enough to win.
Madara swatted the 5 kages like flies.
I'm not sure, but I think we are about to see what a tired kakashi, an ever optimistic guy, naruto and bee can do, maybe obito joins the team but that is highly unlikely
you dont need 5 people... you dont need 4... or even 3
only need 2 for edo madara:
hashirama and another mangekyo user (itachi , sasuke,shisui)
obito+ anyone stronger than the current 5 kage...
why do peolple keep on saying 5 kages got raped .. yes they did bt ppl are forgetting MAdara has been regenerating all the damn time soo. WTF is up
1. naruto - need his masive kage bunshin
2. Itachi - basicaly all of his powers are OP but his strategies are what counts here
3. Minato - minato working with itachi? hell yea... his speed and finding weaknes
4. 3rd Raikage - for his Hell stab spear to damage madara
5. Kushina - sealing techs!
edo madara has no chance of going against these 5 ninjas ..
1. Minato
2. Edo Itachi
3. Might Gai
4. Hiruzen
5. Danzo or lady chiyo
Reason for my Choices. Might Guys tech Hiruduro and im gona assume if he had to 8th gate tech ?Evening Dragon? .
Minato for FTG and seals.
Itachi for totsuka sword
Hiruzen for RDS
Danzo for sealing & Izanagi
Lady chiyo to revive Might Gai if he died using 8th gate tech
mainly coz it seems only Taijutsu works on Edo Madara and im gona Assume if Gai used 8th gate tech which im gona call evening dragon, if the first try failed then if the group needed another chance lady chiyo's life transfer with Minato teleporting em to safety is a 2nd chance.
setting aside Minato's power. if the group was losing to Edo Madara. I could see Minato playing the support role of hit n run as well as rescuing the other 4.
ntm Minato's insight was like a sharingan . Hiruzen, Danzo and Itachi are geniuses.
Originally Posted by Namikaze Haru

Hashirama is not allowed (he will make it boring lol since he already beat madara ) and also no sage of the six paths
My Team
Nagato - could prob match madara neck for neck
Obito - untouchable
Minato - speed and seal master could distract madara
Naruto - his and kurama's power is amazing, will be able to match madara's clones
Itachi (or Sasuke, either 1 but itachi's brain will be more useful as well as totsuka) - mainly coz of susanoo and amaterasu. and totsuka.
the combined genius of minato and itachi would prob be unstoppable, now throw in nagato's and naruto's/kurama's power then O.O:whoa::kagutsuchi::ghehe: then u have obito with kamui, rinnegan and 6 bijuu, come on thats gotta be the perfect team
I like your team
Naruto: His raw power is unbeatable, and his ability to create clones and weave deceptions is unparalleled. If Madara can create large numbers of wood clones, Naruto's BM clones are necessary to match the numbers. Naruto's primary job is going to be keeping Madara's clones busy, and using his TBB to hit Madara with ranged attacks.
Sasuke: He's pretty observant too, although he's not quite as smart as Itachi. Sasuke is healthy and his EMS is more powerful and less constrained than Itachi's MS. If Sasuke can unlock Rinnegan, or if he can learn to stabilize his
Susanoo, he'd be a huge asset. Sasuke is going to act as the front-line tank, using his Susanoo to stand up to Madara's face and keep him distracted.
Minato: He's going to be the brains. He doesn't have a huge amount of raw power, but his speed is unmatched and he knows some of the great seals necessary to combat an edo zombie. Minato and Obito are going to form an ambush team, using their combined talents to attack Madara from his blindspot while Sasuke keeps him distracted at the front.
Obito: His Kamui makes him effectively invincible in most combat. He, along with Minato, is going to be able to get closer to Madara when his back is turned. If Obito can sneak in through Madara's Susanoo and attach Minato's FTG seal to Madara's back, the fight will be ended quick.
Nagato: His legs are busted so he won't be a front-line fighter. Instead, he'll be acting as the medical ninja using rinne tensei to bring people back to life if they die. His 6-paths technique will also add some necessary extra bodies to the attack team. His summons will help keep Madara distracted and his various ninjutsu techniques (chakra absorbtion, shinra tensei) will be great for defense.
