BYU men's volleyball: BYU opens MPSF tournament play against USC Saturday
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
PROVO — The No. 1-seeded BYU men's volleyball team begins its defense of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) title Saturday night at the Smith Fieldhouse against No. 8-seeded USC.
For the second year in a row, the Cougars finished first in the MPSF regular season standings and by virtue will host all three rounds of the postseason tournament should they win Saturday.
BYU (18-8, 18-6 in MPSF play) won both matches played against USC (16-10, 14-10 in MPSF play) this season. Their last meeting was Feb. 28 when the Cougars swept the Trojans (25-22, 25-16, 25-21.)
The Cougars have proved dominant at home with a sterling 11-0 home record this season and 23 straight home wins dating back to February 2013. Seven of the 11 home wins this season came in straight sets.
Despite finishing on top of the MPSF standings, the Cougars ended the regular season on a low note with four straight losses. Consecutive losses on the road to Hawaii were followed up with losses to Cal State Santa Barbara and UCLA last weekend.
The Cougars are led by outside hitter Taylor Sander, who averages 4.53 kills per set — second in the nation. Setter Michael Hatch is No. 4 nationally in blocks, averaging 1.34 per set, but is day-to-day heading into Saturday's match with a sprained ankle suffered last weekend.
For USC, Micah Christenson is first in the nation with an 11.69 assists average. Henry Cassiday is No. 2 nationally in digs per set with 3.04. Lucas Yoder leads the team in kills with 4.04 per set, while Andy Benesh leads in blocks with .97 per set.
Should the Cougars win Saturday, they'll be a good bet to receive an at-large bid to the six-team NCAA tournament in Chicago. The winner of the MPSF postseason tournament receives an automatic bid.
Saturday's game begins at 7 p.m. and will be aired live on BYUtv.

AG explains dropping case against former police officer
State Attorney General Mike Delaney is responding to public criticism from Auburn's police chief after the Attorney General's Office stopped the prosecution of a former Auburn officer.
David Flight was accused of stealing a rifle from the department's evidence locker at some point after it was seized in 1992.
Flight told the Attorney General's Office that at that time, some evidence was actually stored at his house, and the chief gave him the gun as payment for that service.
But Auburn Police Chief Edward Picard denied that and said evidence was never taken to Flight's home.
Prosecutors got an indictment against Flight last year. Flight had retired in 2010.
In a public letter to the chief, Delaney said that despite his office's request for all paperwork or files, certain documents were not provided until last week, right before the trial.
Those documents were timesheets and logs from 1992 that contained notes detailing transfers of evidence to Flight's home, which Delaney said directly contradicted the chief's statement to investigators.
Delaney said the chief also acknowledged the documents would have "adversely impacted the presentation of the case."
The Attorney General's Office then decided to drop the charges.
Picard issued a statement late Friday night thanking the Attorney General's Office for its work, but he still insisted Flight was never given the rifle and never stored evidence for the Auburn Police Department.

We love coming here when we are out for a night without the kids. Food is awesome, and huge portions. I love the fish and chips - don't be fooled into thinking 1 piece isn't enough, it is huge! and always cooked to perfection. The mushrooms are great too, a massive amount (we once ordered them as a starter before my fish and chips and husband's burger, and had to have over half the meal boxed up. and we have hearty appetites). Not a great place if you are on a diet (although they do have salads that sound really yummy on the menu - but i have no will power when it comes to that place!)
The atmosphere is great and the staff are super.

TV Ratings: 'How I Met Your Mother' Hits Season High With 200th, 'The Following' Dips
The entire CBS lineup grows double digits, "The Bachelor" and "The Blacklist" also improve, and Fox's sophomore drama takes a hit in its time slot debut.
CBS reclaimed a Monday victory last night thanks in large part to a surging How I Met Your Mother. The comedy, entering the home stretch of its ninth and final season, topped all other broadcast series for the night with an average 3.8 rating among adults 18-49 for its 200th episode. The season high marked a seven-tenths improvement from last week and its best demo showing since March 2013.
STORY: 'How I Met Your Mother' Turns 200
2 Broke Girls (3.0 adults) rose three-tenths of a point with its lifted lead-in, and Mike & Molly (2.6 adults) jumped seven-tenths of a point. Mom (2.4 adults) improved by half a point and Intelligence (1.5 adults) posted its best Monday outing to date, up four-tenths of a point. CBS topped the night in both measures with an average 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 9.1 million viewers.
Improving two-tenths of a point from last week, The Bachelor (2.5 adults) helped ABC score second-place status for the night. The network, which also aired a Castle repeat, averaged a 2.1 rating in the key demo and 8 million viewers.
Two new outings of Hollywood Game Night brought a 1.5 and a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49. The 8 p.m. airing was up two-tenths of a point from last week, while the 9 p.m. episode was down by the same measure. The Blacklist (2.5 adults) improved two-tenths of a point from last week's score, giving NBC a nightly average of a 1.8 rating among adults 18-49 and 6.7 million viewers.
PHOTOS: 2014's New Broadcast and Cable TV Shows
With an encore lead-in, The Following took a big hit in its time slot return. The sophomore Fox drama was at a series low 2.0 rating among adults 18-49, less than half the score of its football-boosted return last week. That's also down from the series premiere last year that averaged a 3.2 in the demo. Fox took a 1.6 adults rating and 4.99 million viewers for the night.
Both Hart of Dixie (0.4 adults) and Beauty and the Beast (0.3 adults) were steady with last week's CW showings, giving the net an average 0.3 rating among adults 18-49 and 1 million viewers for the night.

Musharraf trial disrupted as mysterious explosives found near home
ISLAMABAD — The treason trial of Pakistan's former military strongman, Pervez Musharraf, got off to a cloak-and-dagger start on Tuesday when police discovered explosives and other weapons on the route from his Islamabad home to the court hearing the case.
Musharraf had been scheduled to make ignominious history as the first Pakistan's former military dictator, out of four that have ruled the country since its independence in 1947, to be held accountable by a civilian court.
Instead, Musharraf stayed put at his luxury farmhouse residence in the suburbs of Islamabad, where he has been held since April, when security officials found a bag containing 11 pounds of explosives, 16 feet of detonation wire, two handguns and 16 rounds of ammunition on the road linking his home to an adjacent highway.
Mysteriously, the explosives had not been rigged to explode, raising suspicions about the identity and motives of the person or persons who had planted them. Once examined by the bomb squad and declared harmless, the bag was casually picked up by a uniformed police officer and taken away.
The three-judge special court appointed to hear the treason charges against Musharraf granted him a one-time immunity from appearing in person and ordered his lawyers to ensure he be present in court on Jan. 1.
Musharraf is being tried for imposing a state of emergency in November 2007. During that time, he suspended the constitution so that he could sack rebellious judges.

You might recall the tale of the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice being sued earlier this year for wrecking a Ferrari F50. The F50 was stolen from its owner in 2003, after which the insurance company, Motors Insurance, reimbursed the owner for the loss. The feds then recovered the stolen scarlet screamer during a sting operation and held it in FBI custody in Kentucky. At some point, it needed to be moved out of its impound garage, but instead of making it safely to another garage, it got wrapp
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice have landed themselves in hot water over the destruction of a Ferrari F50. According to The Detroit News, the vehicle was reported stolen from a dealership in Rosemont, Pennsylvania in 2003, and the dealer made and insurance claim for the sum of $750,000 at that time. Michigan-based Motors Insurance Corp. shelled out the cash, and in August 2008, the FBI recovered the vehicle in Kentucky. At that time, the FBI stored the vehi
So, now that we know it is legal for the FBI to place GPS trackers on cars without a warrant, the next logical question is, how often does it happen? We can't say for sure, but the recent experience of 20-year-old U.S. student Yasir Afifi leads us to believe it's taking place more often that we'd like to think.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into four packages that were recently sent to four different Toyota manufacturing facilities over the past week. Investigators eventually determined that there was nothing harmful or threatening in the packages, but not before Toyota evacuated its North American headquarters in Kentucky on Friday. According to Reuters, the packages were described as suspicious, but neither the FBI nor Toyota seem to think the incident was any kind of threat.
Former Ford engineer Xiang Dong Yu, also known as Mike Yu, was arrested Wednesday at the Chicago O'Hare airport and indicted on suspicion of stealing trade secrets from his former employer. Yu, who worked at Ford Motor Company from 1997 to 2007, is being charged with downloading over 4,000 sensitive documents to an external hard drive before leaving the automaker for an opportunity with another U.S. company's Chinese operations. Yu was nabbed while arriving in the U.S. from China where he was st

United Way nets $21.13 in giving campaign
- Wendy Culverwell, Business Journal staff writer
United Way of the Columbia Willamette had one of its best fundraising years ever in 2010-2011 thanks to seven-figure donations from Intel Co. and Wells Fargo Bank.
United Way raised $21.13 million through its 2010-2011 Community Giving Campaign, its primary tool to raise funds through workplace giving.
About half of United Way's funds go to organizations specified by the donors; the balance supports grants to local nonprofits working to improve the education, health and economic vitality of the community.
It was the organization's second-best year ever, and its sixth consecutive year of growth, said Toni Carlo, vice president of resource development. Its best year was 2000, when it raised $21.35 million.
Individual donations, typically by employees through workplace campaigns, accounted for 58 percent of all contributions, a figure that is rising.
"People do know that in these tough economic times every contribution makes a difference," Carlo said.
The campaign was co-chaired by Gregg Kantor, president and CEO of Northwest Natural, and Robert Van Brocklin, managing partner and CEO of law firm Stoel Rives.
The campaign concludes as United Way is changing leaders. Marc Levy stepped down as CEO and president last month. Jay Bloom, a long-time volunteer and former interim CEO, is returning to Portland from Honolulu to hold the post on an interim basis.
The 2010-2011 campaign beat the previous campaign by 5.1 percent, thanks to contributions of $6.8 million from Intel and $1.1 million from Wells Fargo. Its success puts it among the top 10 percent of all United Way chapters in the nation.
Wells Fargo's United Way campaign set a new charitable giving record for the bank.
The annual campaign comes on the heels of a separate Community Relief Campaign, conceived in the depths of the recession to help keep families affected by the economic downturn to stay in their homes. The one-time effort yielded nearly $2 million and helped nearly 20,000 families in the four-county Portland area with utilities, medications, rent and food.
The annual giving campaign is United Way's primary vehicle to raise money for grants to its partner organizations. About half the money donated through United Way goes to organizations specified by the donors. The balance goes into United Way's Community Impact Fund, which targets efforts to support learning, stabilize finances and improve health and safety.
The money raised in 2010-2011 will support 31 projects and 150 partners as they serve 100,000 area residents in the coming year. United Way typically awards three-year grants that range from $100,000 to $200,000 per year.
Some of its current projects include a Mercy Corps Northwest effort to serve former inmates in Multnomah County, Self-Enhancement Inc.'s work to mentor disadvantaged youth, Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center's work to provide medical care to low-income Washington County residents, and Clackamas Women's Services' work with homeless survivors of domestic violence.
Last fall, United Way reported its grants had a cumulative impact of $41.3 million between 2004 and 2009 and helped 100,000 people annually.
United Way's big donors:
• Intel Corp. –– $6.8 million
• Wells Fargo –– $1.1 million
• Daimler Trucks North America –– $146,000
• Hoffman Construction Co. –– $117,000
• TriQuint Semiconductors –– $100,000
• NACCO Materials Handling Group –– $70,000
• Macy's –– $70,000
• Pendleton Woolen Mills –– $55,000

The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of community-level stressors (particularly violence), coping strategies, and resources to prevent exposure to violence or to mitigate its effects in an inner-city community. Parents and children participated in focus groups, and children also completed standardized instruments. In the focus groups, parents and children identified several areas of concern related to "helpers," schools, community safety, and emotional distress. They identified protective resources including intensive monitoring and social supports. Fifty percent of the children met criteria for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and another 21% met criteria for partial PTSD. The mental health issues in children living with ongoing community violence necessitate that researchers use a qualitative approach to inform future interventions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama took a step Friday toward reshaping the Federal Reserve under incoming chairman Janet Yellen, choosing a leading expert on the global economy to be her vice chairman.
Obama picks ex-Bank of Israel head as No. 2 at Fed
Obama said he will nominate Stanley Fischer, a former head of the Bank of Israel, for the No. 2 job at the Fed. He would replace Yellen, who was confirmed this week to lead the Fed.
Fischer, a dual citizen of the United States and Israel, was a long-time professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Departing Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Mario Draghi, the current head of the European Central Bank, were among his students.
Obama also is nominating Lael Brainard as a Fed governor. Brainard served as the undersecretary for international affairs at Treasury during Obama's first term. She left the administration recently. He also is renominating Jerome Powell to the Fed for a second term.
All three nominations must be confirmed by the Senate.
"These three distinguished individuals have the proven experience, judgment and deep knowledge of the financial system to serve at the Federal Reserve during this important time for our economy," Obama said in a statement.
The selections were largely expected and did little to change economists' outlook for Fed policy this year. All three will likely support Yellen's approach to fighting high unemployment as long as inflation stays low. And all three are likely to back plans to gradually withdraw some of that support, if the economy continues to show improvement.
In December, the Fed said it would start reducing its bond purchases from $85 billion a month to $75 billion a month. Further "measured steps" are expected this year. The bond purchases are designed to lower interest rates to spur borrowing and spending.
In selecting Fischer, Obama is tapping someone with extensive experience in global economics. Fischer served as chief economist at the World Bank, deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund, and head of the Bank of Israel from 2005 until 2013.
During his time at the IMF, Fischer dealt with a number of countries in financial crises. That included the 1997-98 Asian currency crisis, which forced a number of nations to seek support from the IMF to stabilize their currencies and emerge from deep recessions.

the stars : Twilight zone
Although the sky is never truly dark in summer, now is the time to spot the beautiful and elusive noctilucent clouds.
Tuesday 24 June 1997
The brightest stars and planets, however, are still easy to pick out. Look for Venus setting, about an hour after the Sun, towards the northwest. Mars - target of Nasa's Mars Pathfinder spaceprobe mission on 4 July - is also visible after sunset, looking like a reddish "star" in the constellation of Virgo. Jupiter is putting in an appearance too, rising at about 22.30 BST mid-month.
Mars and Jupiter flank a fascinating part of the sky which unfortunately never rises high enough in our northern latitudes to be seen to its advantage.
Look due south towards the constellations of Scorpius and Sagittarius, and you are facing the densely-packed downtown regions of our star-city: the Milky Way galaxy.
Sagittarius looks less like a valiant archer than a teapot, complete with "steam" emanating from a "spout". The "steam" is in fact a huge cloud of stars - one of several you will see if you look towards this most heavily populated region of the Galaxy. Next door Scorpius is dominated by blood red Antares ("rival of Mars"), but you have to travel south to Mediterranean latitudes at least (where the twilight is also less of a problem) to see the constellation in all its glory. From there, you will see that Scorpius is one of the only constellations that looks anything like its namesake - a huge, curling scorpion with a mighty sting in its tail.
Twilight actually enhances one of the phenomena you only get to see in summer months - noctilucent clouds. These feathery clouds look delicate and beautiful against an eggshell blue sky, illuminated by the low angle of the Sun. Appearing late at night (hence their name), they cannot be confused with cirrus clouds or star-clouds in the Milky Way; their silvery blue colour and pearly glow make them look quite unlike anything else. Noctilucent clouds form very high up in the atmosphere, some 80km (50 miles) above the ground. Like conventional clouds, they are the result of the condensation of water vapour on to tiny nuclei - but rather than terrestrial dust, the nuclei for noctilucent clouds are minuscule fragments of meteors that have entered the atmosphere.
There have been stunning displays of noctilucent clouds over the past two summers, and we should be due for more in 1997. However, this may be the last year for a good showing. The clouds form when temperatures in the upper atmosphere are sufficiently low for water vapour to condense - and solar activity can prevent this. As the Sun builds towards its stormy "sunspot maximum" over the next three or four years, its enhanced output of short-wavelength radiation will raise temperatures in the upper atmosphere to an extent that noctilucent clouds cannot form. So now is your chance to spot one of the rarest, most beautiful and most elusive of sky sightsn

Incubus' Brandon Boyd Finishes Solo Album
Incubus might be on hiatus, but that doesn't mean the band members haven't been keeping busy. Billboard recently caught up with Brandon Boyd, who revealed that he just completed his second solo album.
"I wrote it and recorded it with Brendan O'Brien," says Boyd, who is currently in the process of securing a record label on which to release it. The plan, he says, is to release the project sometime this summer. "I'm ready for it to come out now, but there is all this logistical stuff that has to take place before it can come out. That part kind of sucks," he joked.

As far as what fans can expect, Boyd gave Billboard his "literal description" of how he would explain the record:
"It's awesome. When you hear it, you'll probably be reminded of sailors riding unicorns and unicorns farting beautiful gift-making elves and things like that … rainbows, pots of gold … stuff like that."
Following the album's release, Boyd says he will most likely go out on a solo tour. He told Billboard that he'd love to share the stage with The Rolling Stones or U2, adding that he is anxious to get out on the road. "I'll open for anybody. I'll play for anybody … whoever will have me."
In addition to working on the album, Boyd mentioned that he's been using his downtime to catch up on a lot of surfing and that he's been keeping creatively busy, as well. He's in the process of putting the finishing touches on his third book. "It's an art book, and it looks like the music sounds," he explains, revealing that the book and the music all sort of happened at the same time and are a nice accompaniment to each other.

In addition to his personal projects, Boyd says that the Incubus hiatus is giving his fellow bandmates a chance to pursue things they've had on the backburner:
"I know that Chris Kilmore has been doing a lot of DJ gigs and has been making a name for himself doing so. Mike Einziger just scored an independent film that's coming out this week, I think. Ben Kenney is making another solo record on the East Coast. Everyone is keeping busy."

The Justice Department has charged former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden with espionage and theft of government property in the NSA surveillance case.
Snowden, believed to be holed up in Hong Kong, has admitted providing information to the news media about two highly classified NSA surveillance programs.
A one-page criminal complaint unsealed Friday (local time) in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, said Snowden engaged in unauthorised communication of national defence information and willful communication of classified communications intelligence information.
Both were charges under the Espionage Act. Snowden also was charged with theft of government property. All three crimes carried a maximum 10-year prison penalty.
The federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia where the complaint was filed was headquarters for Snowden's former employer, government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton.
The complaint was dated June 14, five days after Snowden's name first surfaced as the leaker of information about the two programs in which the NSA gathered telephone and internet records to ferret out terror plots.
The complaint was an integral part of the US government's effort to have Snowden extradited from Hong Kong, a process that could turn into a prolonged legal battle.
Snowden could contest extradition on grounds of political persecution. In general, the extradition agreement between the US and Hong Kong excepts political offences from the obligation to turn over a person.
Democratic Senator Bill Nelson, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, welcomed the charges.
''I've always thought this was a treasonous act,'' he said in a statement.
''I hope Hong Kong's government will take him into custody and extradite him to the US.''
Michael di Pretoro, a retired 30-year veteran with the FBI who served from 1990 to 1994 as the legal liaison officer at the American consulate in Hong Kong, said ''relations between US and Hong Kong law enforcement personnel are historically quite good''.
''In my time, I felt the degree of cooperation was outstanding to the extent that I almost felt I was in an FBI field office,'' said di Pretoro.
The success or failure of any extradition proceeding depended on what the suspect was charged with under US law and how it corresponded to Hong Kong law under the treaty.
In order for Hong Kong officials to honour the extradition request, they would have to have some applicable statute under their law that corresponds with a violation of US law.
However, Snowden's appeal rights could drag out any extradition proceeding.
Disclosure of the criminal complaint came as President Barack Obama held his first meeting with a privacy and civil liberties board as his intelligence chief sought ways to help Americans understand more about sweeping government surveillance efforts exposed by Snowden.
The five members of the little-known Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board met with Obama for an hour in the White House Situation Room, questioning the president on the two NSA programs that have stoked controversy.
One program collected billions of US phone records. The second gathered audio, video, email, photographic and internet search usage of foreign nationals overseas, and probably some Americans in the process, who used major providers such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Yahoo.

Jim Thornton said this incident happened during the Great Depression.
For several months I watched the pro and con actions concerning the Camden Sports Complex. As the information seemed to be so different, I decided to research the topic myself. As I researched the argument against the Camden Sports Complex, it evolved from one reason to another and then another. First, it would compete with local business, then it was too large an expenditure. I've witnessed multiple petitions, speaking at public forums in city council, and public displays of booing and heckling at the speakers for the Sports Complex. I stood, listened and watched as some have falsely claimed ...

With the Republican primary on the near horizon here in Kershaw County and across South Carolina, there is a stereotype that still exists nowadays -- fueled in part by the national media, no doubt -- that the GOP is the organization of the wealthy and the Democratic Party is made up of the working class. But an analysis of voting trends in the recent New Hampshire primary and in the rest of the country, enumerated by a column in The Wall Street Journal, has helped shatter that image.

I applaud the Chronicle-Independent for front page coverage of the dropping of charges against Mr. Sammie Tucker.

This looks like your model in case it helps anyone.
What are you trying to do.A System Restore or A Factory restore.
If a system restore have you tried in safe Mode.Just keep tapping F8 or F5 as the computer starts.
Some laptops have a restore to factory settings on them and it is Normally F10 or F11 you would try for that so not sure if it is that you are trying to get.

Oilers lose 4-3 to Leafs in OT The Oilers came to play Wednesday night and while players like Ryan Jones, Ales Hemsky and Magnus Paajarvi would get oh so close, but not find the back of the net, goals by Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle would make the game. As it looked all but certain that the Oilers would drop another decision to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jordan Eberle charged into the offensive zone and blasted a shot past James Reimer. Jordan Eberle is a pressure player at its best. Continue reading "Overtime Disappointment"

The following is a memo sent to Citigroup employees by departing CEO Vikram Pandit:
Dear Colleagues:
The following is a memo sent to Citigroup employees by departing CEO Vikram Pandit:
Dear Colleagues:
After five extraordinary years, I have decided to step down as CEO of Citi. It has been a privilege and an honor to serve Citi since December 7, 2007. – Only you can understand the effort and hard work that was put in to get our company where it is today.
There is nothing better than our third quarter earnings announcement to demonstrate definitively that we have turned this company around. Yesterday's results show this clearly.
More importantly, I couldn't be more optimistic about the bank's future. Our formula has served the company well for 200 years. By going back to the basics of banking to serve the real economy, putting clients at the center of everything we do, and embracing the principles of Responsible Finance, we have put Citi in a great position for continued success.
I am proud of each and every one of you and I have the utmost confidence in your future success.
– Vikram

In trying to define what makes certain music "funky," it's best to not get too scientific. Aficionados will deride a rhythm section for not being "in the pocket" or opine loudly about the merits of a particular groove, but these are often subjective observations. The best funk music doesn't adhere to a strict code; it breaks rules and makes new ones. It's hard to think of a bigger post-James Brown game-changer than George Clinton, who headlines the St. Louis Super Music Fest. His P-Funk outfits summoned a musical apocalypse in divergent ways: Funkadelic through hard rocking, end-of-days paranoia and Parliament through party-starting electro-funk. Clinton headlines the festival alongside fellow funk trailblazers Zapp, Teena Marie and Cameo.

Two masters of epic fantasy have combined in this brilliant collaboration to create a rousing tale. This is the story of Shana, a half-breed born of the forbidden union of an Elvenlord father with a human mother. Her exiled mother dead, Shana was rescued and raised by dragons, a proud, ancient race who existed unbeknownst to elven or human kind. From birth, Shana was the embodiment of the Prophecy that the all-powerful Elvenlords feared. Her destiny is the enthralling adventure of a lifetime.
©1991 Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"A splendid blend of the talents of two excellent storytellers" (Anne McCaffrey)
"One of the season's liveliest and most appealing fantasy epics." (Publishers Weekly)
"A brisk, glittering yarn that packs as much action, suspense, and twisting of conventions into one novel as many writers invest in whole trilogies." (Amazing Stories)
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
"Totally Different Authors and Styles"
Chapter one is great. It is dark and very adult. I like dark and thought I was really going to like this. The Elves have captured Earth and turned humans into slaves. The best a human male can expect to be is a gladiator and a woman a concubine to an Elf who will not beat her. It is the first time I know of that Elves are depicted as bad guys and they are really mean.
The dragons are not really dragons, they are shape shifters. I even thought that was interesting. Around chapter three we obviously change authors and we go from an adult dark fantasy to something written for six year olds. I might have been able to hang on if the book had been 10-12 hours, but 19? I had better books to listen to.
"Love the different characters"
I looked forward to what kind of characters was going to come along next.
When everyone realized they could not just sit and do nothing, they had to make a change for a better future.
No, I liked knowing that I could make this story last. Didn't want it to end.
I thought there would be a different ending, wonder if there will be a continuing book. I would get it if there was.
"Good book"
And book I had read many years ago. I enjoyed in then and it was nice to return to the story in audible formate
Good ending. Redemption. Revenge. Hope.
Audio always bring book to life. And can be heard in the car on my commute
"Not my thing!"
The idea is good but the story was drawn out and tedious. Maybe It is just not my thing!
"Week ending"
I feel the story and plot were very good.However I felt the ending was week. It felt like the authors did not know what to do from that point on and just ended the story leving thing up in the air.
inactive rn married to awesome husband, have 4 children,12grandchildren. love stories, all genres but detective/crime and epic fantasy best
"the elvenbanes are so cool"
the closeness of the characters they became partof my family
mistborne they were a family and worked together
totally awesome there was no doubt who was who
i was in the hospital when i listened to this and it made my journey so much easier
"plot frustration"
major issue with the plot ... and continued frustrations ... could be a really epic idea for a story but fell so flat
one day the council of kin meet and want to tell Shana the truth of her past, send her into the city along with a kin in disguise to keep watch on her and ensure her safety ... and the reasons they are responsible to do so
the next, they decide she must go without being allowed to say goodbyes or have goodbyes said to her, given no information or guide, and dropped in the desert to "figure it all out on her own"
uhm ... huh?
I finished it in the hope there would be a reconciliation for this gaffe ... but only got a, "we were wrong" acknowledgement at almost the very end of the book which then wrapped everything up in a seemingly few pages.
I could continue with plot irks but will just sum it up by saying: disappointed.
"FUN and enjoyable"
The images and imagination it invoked.
Shawna and her adoptive mother.
She brought the characters to life for me.
No. I enjoyed thinking about it in-between listening.
I am waiting to buy the sequel.
"premature, young adult fiction"
A better story line with more in depth characters and challenges. This is like a rendition of ugly duckling set in a fantasy setting, with very juvenile motives.
Snow Crash from Neal Stephenson.
I found the narration performance satisfactory.
I read this book years ago and was happy to find it on audible. the Narrator makes the charaters come alive and the story was as good the second time as the it was the first.

Cohen was the fastest in the heats of the men's premier single sculls at the National Rowing Championships, on Lake Ruataniwha on Tuesday, but he maintained he would like his immediate future to be in a quad.
"I've stated I'd like to be part of a quad because it keeps things fresh and it's a new challenge."
Cohen threw his support behind Michael Arms and Robbie Manson to fill Drysdale's spot.
Ironically, both men were part of the New Zealand quad in London.
Drysdale is taking a six-month hiatus from rowing, which means there is an opportunity for a new sculler to impress at three World Cup regatta's before Drysdale's return in August.
Cohen said after his first long holiday in 10 years, he was not in the best shape, but he was pleased to get back into a rhythm after the euphoria of his gold-medal row with Joseph Sullivan in London.
"I've only been back in serious training for the last four weeks so timing-wise the nationals may not be perfect but it's good to spend a week in Twizel and get on the water and give back to the public who have been so good to us," he said.
The 27-year-old said despite Dick Tonks' intentions to focus on the New Zealand women's crews heading towards the next Olympics, the mental toughness and training routines would remain and it was up to each individual to ensure the men kept the standard high.
"He's set the standard in terms of training and preparation and mental grit, so we have to maintain his standards.
"He'll still be around Lake Karapiro, which is good news for everyone."
The finals at the National Rowing Championships start today.
They will go through to Saturday.
