When young magicians Carter and Sadie Kane learned how to follow the path of the Ancient Egyptian gods, they knew they would have to play an important role in restoring Ma'at (order) to the world. What they didn't know is how chaotic the world would become.
The Chaos snake Apophis is loose and threatening to destroy the Earth in three days' time. The magicians are divided. The gods are disappearing, and those who remain are weak.
Walt, one of Carter and Sadie's most gifted initiates, is doomed and can already feel his life force ebbing. Zia is too busy babysitting the senile sun god, Ra, to be of much help. What are a couple of teenagers and a handful of young trainees to do?
There is possibly one way to stop Apophis, but it is so difficult that it might cost Carter and Sadie their lives, if it even works at all. It involves trusting the ghost of a psychopathic magician not to betray them, or worse, kill them. They'd have to be crazy to try it. Well, call them crazy!
With hilarious asides, memorable monsters, and an ever-changing crew of friends and foes, the excitement never lets up in The Serpent's Shadow, a thoroughly entertaining and satisfying conclusion to the Kane Chronicles.

"A very satisfying *almost* conclusion to the story"
While I greatly enjoy audio books, I feel that they are not a replacement for the print version of books. They do, however, add another perspective to a great story. When properly narrated, the listener can enjoy a different view of the same tale. This performance is a perfect example of that. I have read, and now listened to, all three titles in this series. The narrators' interpretations of the banter between the Kane children through emphasis and inflection was different than my own, yet seemed to add to my enjoyment of the story.
The narrators' interpretations of the characters through tone, inflection, and emphasis really helped to bring the story to life for me. Each also did a wonderful job of portraying the other characters in such a way as to clearly delineate the separate individuals without causing a continuity problem between the sections read by different narrators. Other productions I have listened to with two voices narrating can often cause confusion when a secondary character is narrated differently by the two narrators. These two worked together perfectly, providing continuity of the different characters and adding energy and vitality to the story.
This story is very well written and narrated. I would recommend this production to listeners of any age.
"Satisfying Conclusion--For Now"
Rick Riordan has been writing wonderful stories integrating the myths of gods for some time now and his Kane Chronicles trilogy is a great story using the Egyptian gods and the Chaos they can bring to the modern world. This final story in the trilogy wraps up the adventures of Sadie and Carter Kane in a very satisfying way, yet clearly allows for future stories that may well even expand into some of the other territory Riordan has already mapped out.
This story includes all the fun elements of the previous two books--Egyptian gods, Carter and Sadie squabbling and fighting foes together, adventure, danger, exploding objects and places, a little romance, and a premise with such high stakes that the whole world is threatened. And only Carter and Sadie and their band of magicians can save the day, with lots of trials, adventures, and help along the way. Riordan has crafted a tale that obviously appeals to kids and teens, but it's clever and funny enough to keep adults interested and entertained as well.
The two narrators, Kellgren and Free, continue their tag-team narration and do a splendid job. My personal favorite is Kevin R. Free, who voices Carter and the other characters (except for Sadie) wonderfully. Katherine Kellgren does a great job too, but her Sadie is sometimes too whiney and overbearing--just like the character in the book, come to think of it. Together, these two narrators bring the story to life and add a great deal to the overall experience, just as the best audiobook narration should.
While this book wraps up the Chronicles very well, I'll be eager for any more adventures of the Kanes and/or the other magicians readying themselves for future adventures.
"this series is a winner for any age"
Well, it looks like the Kanes are saying good-bye. It has been such a wonderful trip for my whole family. We listen as a family for an hour or so and discussions just began springing up, about the books, about school. This has been the tool that made the bickering far less important than what was happening to the Kane family. Egypt has become a place that is real. One of the more studious boys is looking into archeology,... Egypt, My daughter is gathering research and wants to try writing a book that mixes facts and fancy. My youngest son just wants to start the series over.... so we have. 3 nights a week is what they want, for an hour, then discussion about the book and anything else on there mind, Their study room is crammed with downloaded Egyptian facts and folk lore and as parents,,,, well, we just want the series to continue. Did Rick know that what he wrote for his own children would have such a positive change to other families? We also have started the first series, it has lots of books. and more research is being planned. Thanks for the opportunity to bring something to the table my whole family can love..
"kid loved it, but narration is hard to listen to"
Absolutely love Rick Riordan books. Once again the story was rich in gods and godesses, but this time it's those of Egypt. The plot was gripping and certainly kept my son engaged through the entire trilogy. I, however, found it hard to get into due to the harshness of Katherine Kellgren's narration.
The narration was hard to listen to, especially Katherine Kellgren. Both readers were very intense, partly because of the constant action of the story, but that intensity coupled with her shrill and sometimes screeching voice was hard to bear. Of course, my son never seemed to notice.
"kids loved"
Yes, It captures your interest right away
Bast, She was with the kids all a long and was willing to give everything. She is a cat.
Better picture in my head.
No, just a fun listen. I learned a lot about the Egyptian Gods and now I have shared it with 2 other teens who are interested in the Egytian history.
I put this book on for a group of tired kids in the car on the way home from a meeting we only made it through 1 chapter. I told the kids as they got out of the car the name of the book and they bugged their Mom for days to get it for them. One of the boys asked his grandparents for it as a birthday gift.
"Great story !"
Good ending but wish the series continued...
Carter, he seems more realistic . Sadie seemed kinda annoying at times...
Not crazy about her voice ...but great story !
The whole series is worth the listen ...
"The Serpent's Shadow..."
How the kids were finally able to rally the magicians and gods to fight Apophis.
The narrators, especially the male. His portrayals of the characters were so good. The female narrator was also good, but of the two, I prefer the male's portrayals.
I think so...When things got panicky, the narrators got panickier. When things got sad, the narrators got sad. When things sped up or slowed down, the narrators matched.
I laughed a lot, but I wouldn't say that it was "extreme". So, no, I didn't have an extreme reaction to this book.
Enjoying audiobooks daily!
"Crazy Good!"
*MILD SPOILERS* Five Stars? Yes. This was a great book from a really good series. Sadie and Carter are so good together in their fight against Apothos. Also compared to "Percy Jackson and the Olympians", this series gives us some romance! Walt, Sadie, Zia and Carter just seem to NEVER catch a break, but it's fun getting to the end with all their teen angst. Very satisfying, really. The gods are so different from the Olympians in some ways. I like the contrast. I liked the darker nature of this series. I wish it was more than 3 books long. Great narration by two people. Honestly, the narration made this series even more delightful than I thought it could be.
"Good, light listen, good conclusion to the series"
Fun light young reader's story.
The description of Apophis' shadow when they find it at the edge of the Sea of Chaos.
Dynamic voices tackling a variety of accents and dialects, they often perform the same characters from the perspectives of the primary character's they play. For those not familiar with how the Kane Chronicles are told, I can see how this might be confusing at first, but it makes for some more fun as the stories progress.The narrators really do an excellent job, and have some fun with the story, and the pronunciations are consistent all the way through the book, which can be hard with the very foreign sounding words and names from ancient Egypt.
No, can't say I had an extreme reaction, but I did enjoy the story and especially the narration.
The Kane Chronicles are a light fun fare, not quite as good or thought provoking as the Percy Jackson series, but still a nice read/listen. I did find a lot of direct comparisons and desriptions right out of Harry Potter, but I guess that is inevitable when dealing with a snake as a bad guy.
"A Fun Story For Kids & Adults"
I would definitely listen to all three books in The Kane Chronicles. The story was exciting and engaging, the characters were easy to love, and it was fun learning about Egyptian gods and their religion and traditions.
I would compare the Kane Chronicles to the Harry Potter series and the Percy Jackson series, but not because it's a repeat of the same story or the characters are similar, because they're different stories all together. But each series invites the reader to enter a new world of magic and mystery thick with fables and old traditions.
Ok, I'm a Christian and for whatever reason I was drawing a lot of parallels between the way Sadie and Carter could channel the power of the gods and how when our will aligns with God we become more powerful as well. So my favorite part, or the part that I connected most with was at the end where the kids race to the pyramid where their uncle was channeling Set to battle the bad wizards and Sadie disagrees with Isis about destroying her uncle and she says something like "you can't share the mind of a god and have a disagreement, to be the eye you must act in perfect unison." Then to prove the point of her acting alone instead of with Isis' help Sadie is blasted into the magical history curtains. That's my favorite part because that's when i drew the connection between the way the kids channel the gods and the way I, or just everyday people, can become greater than ourselves by allowing God to enter our lives and aligning our will with His.
Do the Kane kids have what it takes to stop Apophis from swallowing the sun?
This is a great book, one I'm sure would be fun for parents and kids to read together. I plan to read them with my nephew when he gets a little older and if I have kids we'll read them together too.

Currie Cup – CJ commits to Lions
21 Jul 2011
Keo.co.za brings you the news from the Currie Cup.
CJ commits to Lions - CJ van der Linde has joined the Lions on a two-year contract from Western Province.
After much speculation, the Lions have confirmed that Van der Linde will officially join the Lions on 1 August.
'CJ comes with a wealth of experience and has tremendous value to add,' said Lions coach John Mitchell.
'I'm really looking forward to working with a player of CJ's calibre and experience. I've always believed in developing youngsters as part of the expansion process and exposing them to experienced mentors such as CJ.'
Still no Sarel for Griquas – Sarel Pretorius will miss Griquas' second Currie Cup of the season when they tackle the Lions in Kimberley this weekend.
The scrumhalf is still sidelined with a knee injury, which sees Shannon Rick retain the No 9 jersey. There's another injury blow for Abré Minnie's men as Rocco Jansen, who grabbed a brace in the draw against WP last weekend, is also ruled out. Fabian Juries starts in his place.
Griquas – 15 Riaan Viljoen, 14 Richard Lawson, 13 Wilmaure Louw, 12 Barry Geel, 11 Fabian Juries, 10 Monty Dumond, 9 Shannon Rick, 8 Jonathan Mokuena (c), 7 Davon Raubenheimer, 6 Justin Downey, 5 Martin Muller, 4 Hendrik Roodt, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Ryno Barnes, 1 Steph Roberts.

21 Jul 2011, 10:57 amThat is fine, we need to build depth at 9 anyways.
And we can't take any chances on him.

do you love him like you do gaffie? -
21 Jul 2011, 13:17 pmJohannesburg, 21 July 2011… The Golden Lions Rugby Union announced the signing of Springbok 2007 Rugby World Cup winner, Prop CJ van der Linde. Currently playing for the DHL Western Province, van der Linde will join the MTN Golden Lions Absa Currie Cup team in August.
His contract commences on 1 August 2011 until 31 October 2013.Van der Linde began his professional career in 1999 when he represented South Africa at U/19 level. He has progressed through the ranks, from U/21 to senior and has been a Springbok since 2002.
CJ has spent the majority of his career with the Free State Cheetahs, and played for the Cats (a combination of Cheetahs and Lions players) Super 12 team in 2004 and 2005. He moved to Cape Town and signed with the Western Province at the end of 2010. He is currently with the Springbok Tri Nations squad in Australasia.
Coach John Mitchell is looking forward to CJ's arrival: "CJ comes with a wealth of experience and has tremendous value to add to the Lions. I'm really looking forward to working with a player of CJ's caliber and experience. I've always believed in developing youngsters as part of the expansion process and exposing them to experienced mentors such as CJ," said Mitchell.
GLRU CEO Manie Reyneke also had only praises for CJ.
"It is no secret that we've been speaking to CJ for the past few weeks and we are both honoured and humbled to have a player of his caliber and vast experience joining the Lions." said Reyneke
21 Jul 2011, 15:04 pmCJ can't scrum he's folds double like a camping stretcher.
21 Jul 2011, 15:20 pmWe could use the extra cash flow.
21 Jul 2011, 15:41 pmNo better way to quash bankruptcy rumors than to sign a pseudo big name player
21 Jul 2011, 15:50 pm@stormersboy(stormersboy)-5: Buy Coenie Oosthuizen before the Sharks do.
21 Jul 2011, 15:51 pmhe's kak
21 Jul 2011, 15:53 pm@JA-JA(JA-JA)-7: no thanks the sharks are used to breeding their own top props CJ?? even john smit is a better scrumager, yes grant believe it
21 Jul 2011, 15:53 pm@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-8: exactly
he the penalty king along with steggmann bwaaahahahahaaaaaaaa
21 Jul 2011, 15:56 pm@President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-9: Ye you do breed good props, WP can do with Eugene van Staden you better watch out.
You just gave Grant a new topic for a week, John vs CJ
21 Jul 2011, 15:58 pm@President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-10: Eish CJ and Stegmann on the same field is looking for trouble.
21 Jul 2011, 15:59 pm@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-8: Wait who are you talking about CJ or Coenie?
21 Jul 2011, 16:01 pm -
21 Jul 2011, 16:03 pmCJ is rubbish
Stormer saviour…ummm nope
Bok saviour…umm not a f*ck-just gives intercepts to ben Foden
Watch BJ do the same thing only being SLIGHTLY better than CJ.
BJ,CJ…..never been,never will be
Bok rugby hasnt had a decent Tighthead since Cobus Visagie & Willie Meyer.
And it continues to be bleak.
Jannie is incumbent and no one is better than him at present however kak he is.
deal with it
21 Jul 2011, 16:04 pmDoes that even need an answer?
Mr slip the bind van der Fatsh*t is kak!
21 Jul 2011, 16:15 pm@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-16: Ja he is kak, if he's not slipping his bind he's back and @ss is the only one sticking out of the scrum.
I just hope they never replace BJ with CJ in the same match…BJ for CJ…. people will think who knows what of our half time team talk.
21 Jul 2011, 18:59 pmHow can the Lions afford CJ ? I hear they cant pay half their other players salaries ?
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-15: I have always thought CJ is a bit timid. He has about the aggression factor of a gummy bear. No mongrel at all.
21 Jul 2011, 19:02 pm@JA-JA(JA-JA)-7: The Sharks wont buy Coenie Oosthuisen. We aren't WP that jump at the opportunity to buy anything that comes available without any thought.
The Sharks have some VERY promising young front row forwards coming through. Dale Chadwick, Kyle Cooper, Wiehann Herbst and then we still have Jannie Du Plessis, Beast Mtwarira, Eugene Van Staden and Bismark….
Sharks problem is not front row. Sharks need locks quite desperately, and I believe they are going after Franco Vd. Merwe.
21 Jul 2011, 19:41 pm@Dusky(Dusky)-19: How do you explain JLP and Meyer Bosman, not much thought went in those decisions. Sharks can take Franco…..
21 Jul 2011, 22:00 pm@President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-9: farken got rocks in your head…..cj 100 times better prop than the quota
21 Jul 2011, 23:18 pmLock? They don't have a lock crisis as such. Compared to the Bulls who have only got (the promising) Juandre Kruger, (the alright but will always be average) Fudge Mabeta…. and then nothing. They'd be wasting their money going after Franco van der Merwe. Hargreaves is a good player who's gotten bigger the last few years. Ross Skeate can do a job there. Anton Bresler looks highly promising. And Jandre Marais looks just as good. He could jump into the starting line-up in the next couple of years.
The Sharks crisis is at centre. Having brought Michalak in, do they really want to play Lambie at 12 (or more likely 15)? I don't think it's fair on Lambie at all. They are probably looking at having another S15 season with Meyer Bosman at 12. May as well play with 14 men because at least then someone will attempt to make a real tackle. Bosman has to be the worst 12 I've seen play consistently for an SA team since Grant Rees. The Sharks really were stupid to have wasted the talent of Andries Strauss by never playing him.
And Marius Joubert. I had high hopes that he could go in at the Sharks and really do something good. But after the weekends game I'm thinking he'd do well to just match Stefan Terblanche. The standard of the French Top 14 must be piss-poor if he had a 'sublime' career over there. He no longer has that zip that he had back in 2002-2003 (8 years ago, thats probably why).
Outside of centre, the Sharks are fine. They balance the books by holding a smallish roster, but the players know where they stand and they never seem to have injury crisis at any positions.
22 Jul 2011, 04:14 am@Hendrik Pienaar(hendrikp)-22:
Whoops I forgot about Flip van der Merwe… but still the Bulls are short at lock. The next in line presumably would be Cornell Hess who has had no significant game-time outside of Vodacom Cup. Not sure how good he is if anyone would care to enlighten me?
Have your say

Best little Jig You ever sold I have been Sharpning tools for 30 yrs. for Ford Motor Co. and would not be without this litte gem.
If I could rate separately for plane irons vs. chisels, I would give a 4 or maybe even 5 for planes and a 1 for chisels. For planes it really works well. With my chisels, I am able to do better freehand.
As an average weekend woodworker. I found the Honing Guide a little difficult to set up each chisel in order to make it level. The more I have used it the easier it is to work it. Great tool to have when one can't afford the machine sharpeners.
A 3 star is in the middle of poor and excellent. This is excellent for plane irons but poor for chisels. There is a lot of fussing and trial and error to get the chisel perfectly level and aligned in the slots. If a chisel hone is what you are looking for this is not it.

What Will Determine Who Wins Wednesday's Obama-Romney Debate?
What will you be looking for to decide the difference in the first presidential debate between the nominees? And don't forget to join us for a Patch debate viewing party!
The first debate between President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney is Wednesday night.
According to the plans for this first debate, at the University of Denver in Denver, CO, the focus will be on domestic policy. It is the first of three debates between Romney and Obama, all scheduled in October.
A fourth debate, set for Oct. 11, will pit Vice President Joe Biden against Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan. It's going to be at Centre College in Danville, KY, with a focus on both domestic and foreign policy.
But back to Wednesday.
Romney has been through a veritable gauntlet of debates in the year-long-plus run-up to the GOP convention, seemingly one after another, with as many as nine challengers on stage making their case for why they should be president.
Those, of course, were all against candidates seeking the Republican nomination. This is the first time Romney and Obama go mano-a-mano, presenting their conservative vs. liberal, Republican vs. Democratic vision for leading the United States going forward.
The Daily Beast compiled a list of the top seven debate gaffes at the presidential and vice presidential level following Rick Perry's "ooops" moment in one of the early GOP debates — a mistake that helped unravel his own campaign.
The Daily Beast's list included President Ford's assertion in 1976 that there is no Soviet domination in Eastern Europe; Adm. James Stockdale's overly honest statement in 1992 of "Who am I, why am I here? I'm not a politician, everybody knows that," and Gov. Michael Dukakis' stoic, emotionless response in 1988 to a question about his stance against the death penalty, even if his own wife were brutally murdered.
Will it be a gaffe or a quotable moment that changes the debate? Or will you be looking for something else to determine the winner? What will Obama have to do to win this debate? How about Romney? And will you be watching?
If you're going to watch, please consider joining us for a Patch debate viewing party at two locations in the St. Louis area: Wehrenberg's Des Peres 14 Cine or St. Charles 18 Cine theaters, where you can share your views on how the candidates' remarks addressed the issues you care about. Get more details here.
5:56 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
I'll tell you will determine which person wins the debate...the news people. The press already knows who they want to win and no matter how bad a candidate will do, that candidate will be a superstar, hit all the points, looked the best dressed, acted more relax, blah blah blah. That's all these debates are, blah blah blah.
8:23 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Yeah, but here is a chance for the voters to look and hear on there own. Voters who are interested enough to watch are usually able to see thru the biases from the spin misters. Of course our own personal biases are harder to suppress. Go Romney.
Jo Beck
9:01 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Froze and Jim are both right- the media will spin the debate to benefit Obama's campaign. The media are like the Great Wizard of Oz, the mighty puppeteers controlling public opinion behind the curtain, and the voters just dance around at their whim instead of using our own brains to figure things out! Wake up, people! The newspapers and television networks will choose a chance remark or an unflattering clip to make Romney look bad in the debate while they'll be shooting Obama from his good side. I would like to hear some debate about the real economic issues that voters should be thinking about when they go to the polls. The fact is that Americans are much worse off than we were 4 years ago. Obama got his chance and failed. It's time to kick him out of the White House.
9:19 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Boo-hoo. All of you just need to watch the post-debate discussion on Fox and you'll get the "news" that fits your political views. CNN attempts to be impartial and has a panel consisting of representatives of both parties who at least are more substantive than the tokens MSNBC and Fox have.
Looking forward to the debate, should be fun. Who will "win?" Debates have historically done very little to move the needle -with some exceptions, Kennedy-Nixon comes to mind.
The Romney campaign is desperate right now and they need a game changer. I expect some fireworks, but I doubt it'll amount to much at all.
9:49 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Blaming the media is one way of avoiding a citizen's responsibility to listen and learn from the candidate's own words. If you don't want to hear the media response to debates, just turn off the TV and make your decision based on what you heard from the debaters themselves. I agree about CNN presenting a broader view than the liberals on MSNBC or the conservatives on Fox News. I also watch PBS news. But I suggest that those out there who blame the media for everything need to do more of their own homework. (I am not a member of the media, by the way.)
10:04 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Fox News finished their post-debate script about a month ago. Jo Beck has a copy.
10:07 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
The narrative that the media will take away from the debates will be a Romney "bounce". The next news cycle will be all about a Romney comeback because that makes a better story. There are two types of media bias - conservative and sensationalism. There's no such thing in liberal bias in the media. But complaining about one actually adds to the conservative bias and provides cover for where the liberal bias really is - the facts.
10:15 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
i want obama to win Romney will losse :P obama has what it takes we can do it
Jacqueline Harrison
10:22 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Fox news is the worst of the opinionated journalist, the worst! Obama all the way...he leaves no one behind like the rich sucks do. Hannity makes more money than all of them while spreading lies, twisting the truth....Romney doesn't have a comeback by the way...
mike reilly
10:50 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
My biggest concern is the inability or willingness to answer the specific question asked. Both candidates utilize prepared answers regardless of the question. People really need to listen.
Jacqueline Harrison
11:24 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Some people hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don't want to hear, plain and simple...
12:08 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Who has won the debate about whether our Libya Embassey was
1) A Pre-Planned Attack on 9-11-12?
2) A video outrage?
I asked my relatives what they knew. Not a one knew our Ambassador and three others were murdered and dragged throught the streets, at an "Unprotected" embassy.
Not a one even knew that there is a serious question about the Inteligence reports warning of an attack. Not a one knew that Our U.N. Rep "Rice" stated consistenly , the attack was because of a Video--As she only referenced the Egypt violence in the streets only. Our President only says "It's still under investigation".
What is ?
Now Folks, Live TV will give Romney a chance to Talk to the people directly.
No TV sound bites for 90 minutes. It is his job to Tell what is happening. No more, No less. But, many Americans will hear some things for the first time.
And that is a shame. All facts should be known, not suppressed.
That is a media failure. Most of the American voters are very "uninformed".
It is NOT their Fault.
That is different than being "ignorant".
You simply cannot have a debate with selective information.
That is NOT Romney's job, so he'll have to spend much of his time talking about things the Public never heard. (Like "Solyndra") I estimate 50% of America still do not know about it. GM? -Many people think GM paid back all the US money.
"America Burning"!!!!
Sensible? I think so
7:27 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Just today, Paul Ryan told Chris Wallace (of Fox News!) this in response to specific questions about Romney's tax plan: "It would take me too long to go through all of the math."
No rush, go through the math! Or if he doesn't want to risk making a mess of it on the spot, put it up on a website somewhere!
How is that the fault of the media, any media? Really, a serious question for you, Mr. Revere.
The Missourian
12:43 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Obama: "Before we start, I'd like to thank my opponent, Mitt Romney, for laying the groundwork for the Affordable Healthcare Act. As governor of Massachussetts, he proved that an individual mandate and greater oversight of insurers could help to rein in health care spending and reduce costs. Thank you, Mr. Romney."
If he can start with that, Obama is golden.
1:09 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
The bar has been set so low for Romney, that if he doesn't melt into a puddle, some analysts will call that a win.
Tom Maher
1:28 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Anonymous "Paul Revere" - I presume your neighbors live in a cave; are you there as well?
Sonny Pondrom
7:53 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Tom Maher - You must give all people like Paul Revere the right to give their opinion. If you find fault with his facts or interpretations, then you should to point out the error(s) he has made.
Sensible? I think so
7:34 pm on Monday, October 1, 2012
I don't see how Mr. Maher didn't give Mr. Revere the right to his opinion.
Are you familiar with these statements of Mr. Revere? Telling someone that they can't have an opinion in this state or country is NOT giving them the right to their opinion, if you ask me.
"You should go live in another country and stop trying to ruin this country."
"Why don't you go live in MASS-Chus."
It would be more than a full time job to point out Mr. Revere's errors. (Definitely plural, not singular!)
Google now shows some of them, just search for "wrong again, mr revere".
Larry Lazar
8:16 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
While Romney has more recent "debate" experience, you have to consider the caliber of his competition for those debates. I'm pretty sure my golden retriever could have come up with more intelligent responses than Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Herman Cain.
Nonetheless, I doubt there will be any significant news coming out of the debates
Rich Pope
8:41 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Do the candidates get a copy of the questions ahead of time?
Sonny Pondrom
8:04 am on Monday, October 1, 2012
No, but they do get to know the topics and for the first time get the opportunity to say what questions can not be asked.
3:08 pm on Monday, October 1, 2012
Obama is a great public speaker, but not the strongest debater. Romney is a terrible public speaker, but a fairly strong debater. I'd like to say that this is going to come down to substance, but the reality is that the low-information voters that are left out there aren't likely to suddenly become seekers of substance. This is going to be more about appearances.
And the one negative that both candidates have when debating is that they can cross over into a level of condescension that is not becoming of either of them. The goal of each will be to walk the fine line of beating up the other, without looking like a bully. I don't expect to see any "substance" (as in hearing anything new) from either candidate. The only thing that I might expect is a swing toward the center from Romney. But for every step that he takes toward the center, Obama will be able to lay him out by reminding everybody how the center is quite different from what Romney has been providing so far in the campaign.
Larry Lazar
3:41 pm on Monday, October 1, 2012
that's an excellent analysis Watts and I agree. Well done.
6:42 pm on Monday, October 1, 2012
Thanks Larry, but let's give credit where credit is due. How about that brilliant contribution from News Fish? I am humbled by the brilliance of this person who has attained such great knowledge and rhetorical skills, all without ever having left his mother's basement.
John Ridenhower
3:31 pm on Monday, October 1, 2012
Ryan was smart to dodge budget questions in advance of the debates; lest he either steal Romneys thunder, or give several days to Obama to prepair his rebuttals in advance.
6:45 pm on Monday, October 1, 2012
Actually, if it is like most issues, Ryan and Romney are probably worlds apart on it and if Ryan had given details, then that would present an issue if Romney were to state completely different details during the debate. It is obvious that Romney and Ryan are like oil and water, so I think that we probably won't be hearing a lot of details from Ryan, even in the vice presidential debate. Romney has had to say it over and over again that he would be the president, as if to totally disregard Ryan's policy beliefs. So I think that now, Ryan has taken the hint to keep his mouth shut until after the election.

My favorite photos from Anime LA. From top to bottom, left to right are:

(5) A perfect Aang

(7) Static Shock
(8) Rarity Spy
(9) Me with screaming Shoma face while being held by white Hard Gay
(10) Vegeta Homer Simpson
Anime LA was super fun and I made more money than I ever did at Anime Expo because of my Adventure Time posters. They sold out the second day during the afternoon, so I reprinted more Sunday morning but they sold out again only a few hours into the day! It was an amazing moment in my life. I plan on doing more posters for AX, but for less popular stuff like American McGee's Alice, Pingudrum, Utena, and maybe others. Those things are well-liked by many, but don't get as much fan art as they deserve. And we will reprint more Obamas. Yes.
Hope to see you at Anime Expo this year if you're going! \( ' w ' )/

"It needs to be a worthy cause," said Kiwanis One Day Committee co-chairman Brennan MacDowell. "We want to help out a nonprofit organization that's doing something good for the community."
This year's Kiwanis One Day took place at the Stepping Stones Educational Therapy Center, where Kiwanis members and other volunteers, such as the UGA-Griffin master gardeners and JROTC members from both local high schools, helped improve the outside learning area of the school for special-needs students.
Asked what determines which project will be chosen, MacDowell said it's important for organizations to outline specifically how the project would benefit children. It's also crucial to be as detailed as possible when describing the work to be done on the project and how much it would cost, he said.
"The more concrete the plan is, the more likely it might be to approve it," MacDowell said, adding that the budget for next year's Kiwanis One Day is $2,500.
Just as in previous years, MacDowell said he hopes to get as many volunteers on board as possible — from the Kiwanis Club as well as from other organizations.
"We've always been blessed by the various organizations in the communities showing up and pitching in with us," he said. "There are so many deserving organizations that need the help that we can provide."
Those interested in submitting an application can either pick one up in person at the Kiwanis Club office on South Hill Street or call the office at 770-227-9187 to have an application sent through email. The Kiwanis Club expects to make its final project decision in early December.

A complaint filed Oct. 12 in U.S. District Court in north Mississippi says Christopher Gary Hughes threw the woman to a concrete floor of the Lee County Detention Center and kicked and stomped her on Oct. 14, 2007.

The FBI is leading the investigation.

Since 2005, the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region leads the world in enhancing the business climate for local firms. The region overtook East Asia and the Pacific to become the second most business-friendly, after OECD high-income economies. However, one country, the Ukraine, has been described as the "rotten apple" in the region, comparing unfavorably to its neighboring countries. After meeting the "Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United States," I decided to take a closer look.
In his State of the Union Address next week, President Obama will shift gears back to job creation after his inauguration speech focused on wider themes. As the debate about how the government can help the economy regain its pre-recession strength enters a new phase, the Kauffman Foundation's annual "State of Entrepreneurship Address" last week in Washington, DC, focused on how financial constraints have been blocking the success of new and young firms that create most of the net new jobs.

Intelligence Community Warns Solar Storms Could Collapse Electric Grid — Loren Thompson —Forbes.com — Dec 19, 2012
Now there is growing concern that a really big storm might collapse much of the global electric grid, particularly in places with long high-voltage transmission lines such as Australia, Canada, China and the United States. The intelligence assessment warns that, "until 'cures' are implemented, solar super-storms will pose a large-scale threat to the world's social and economic fabric."
For space scientists dreaming up a manned base on the moon, 3D printing with lunar dust looms as an attractive possibility.

The author warns that unlike Cold War era fears over nuclear weapons, today's fears are "come from biology, energy production, and the information sciences -- and are the very technologies that have fueled our prodigious growth as a species. They are far more seductive than nuclear weapons, and more difficult to extricate ourselves from. The technologies we worry about today form the basis of our global civilization and are essential to our survival." [More]
The end is not nigh, but it could be unless we constrain our own technological ingenuity. That's the warning from an initiative in Cambridge, UK, that wants to create a centre to focus on huge, technological hazards that could wipe out the human race at a stroke. [More]
What would the world be like if it were four-degrees warmer? The answer, in a new report released by the World Bank, is dire: extreme heat waves, floods, drought, sea-level rise, food shortages. [More]
Hacking the President's DNA — Andrew Hessel, Marc Goodman and Steven Kotler —Atlantic Monthly — Nov 01, 2012
The U.S. government is surreptitiously collecting the DNA of world leaders, and is reportedly protecting that of Barack Obama. Decoded, these genetic blueprints could provide compromising information. In the not-too-distant future, they may provide something more as well—the basis for the creation of personalized bioweapons that could take down a president and leave no trace. [More]
U.S. Satellite Plans Falter, Imperiling Data on Storms — John H. Cushman, Jr. —New York Times — Oct 27, 2012
The United States is facing a year or more without crucial satellites that provide invaluable data for predicting storm tracks, a result of years of mismanagement, lack of financing and delays in launching replacements, according to several recent official reviews. The looming gap in satellite coverage, which some experts view as almost certain within the next few years, could result in shaky forecasts about storms like Hurricane Sandy, which is expected to hit the East Coast early next week.
A study proposing a test for the idea that we are all living in a computer simulation has sparked a fresh flurry of interest in this intriguing take on reality. But fans of The Matrix might have to wait a little longer before they can unleash their inner Neo. [More]

Ready for part 2.
By RustySpoon (8 reviews) from Sheffield , 02 Jun 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Saw this last night and thought it was one of the best superhero movies in years. It is easily up there with X1 / X2. Easily better than Thor. I came out ready for a sequel.
I thought the opening scene was great even though critics had knocked it. Its a great story about the origins of Prof X & Magneto and the beginning of the X-Men.

(174)Top Super Hero Film
By AVSheard (87 reviews) , 06 Jun 2013This one of the best super hero films I have seen in a long time. It really puts others such a Spiderman and Thor to shame. The plot is well fort through and developed hooking you to the screen. The way it links to films to the Cuban missile crisis is really clever. Onto of that the action is amazing. The fights between mutants is awesome and on its own would make a good film. It relies heavily on special effect that are just so realistic. The way that it references the later X-men films is quite sneaky as careful place in expiations of how everything in the later film began. This film is gripping.- Was this review helpful to you?

Brand X
By a customer , 06 Mar 2013Does what it says on the tin. Effects were excellent. Professor X was earnest and Magneto suitably troubled. Retro style had a good comic book feel about it. Script was good too.- Was this review helpful to you?

GREAT FILM, but too many storyline mistakes.
By WC (11 reviews) , 14 Feb 2013Loved it! WORTH SEEING. The retro style of the film absolutely suited the actors. Although there were loads of storyline glitches. And I wouldn't say that McAvoy and Fassbender were the stars of the film. Kevin Bacon really stole the show.- Was this review helpful to you?

Fairly Good Movie
By fluffycat (7 reviews) from Kidlington , 03 Jan 2013Excellent casting, actors do well in this X Men Film, I like this kind of genre, but i do have to say i was disappointed with the story line. Not sure how many times you can use this story line as the main plot for an X Men Movie. If so of the chat online about the next X Men movie is correct then it is the same story all over again...- Was this review helpful to you?

There is an art to hanging art. First, you have the challenge of placing objects on a wall in a pleasing way. It's similar to arranging furniture. Arrange them in rows, in a circle, or randomly until you find a pleasing combination. Generally, larger and darker pictures look better placed toward the bottom of a grouping. By breaking up pictures that feature particular colors, the eye is encouraged to travel around an arrangement.
Next, you must make sure your precious objects are installed securely Use proper hanging hardware to securely hang your paintings on the wall. You'll find a variety of picture hangers in the hardware department, including traditional hangers, hangers sold as"professional" picture hangers, wallboard anchors, and anchors available with hooks to hang pictures and mirrors.
Available only at your local store:
•Picture Wire
Group the pictures on the wall. Juggling pictures to get the right one in the right place can be difficult; instead work with pieces of paper. Trace the outline of each frame on paper that contrasts with the wall. Cut out the shapes, place masking tape loops on the backs, and experiment with grouping the pictures. (See photo above.) For the security of anchoring heavy works and mirrors into wall studs, first locate the studs with a stud finder. To support especially large objects, drive hangers into adjacent studs.
To see how a picture grouping will look on the wall, first lay it out on the floor. You're getting a bird's eye view, and you'll find it easier and quicker to move things around as you work out a preliminary arrangement.
Install eyes and picture-frame wire. Screw eyes and braided wire are sold in a range of sizes to handle framed objects of different weights. To position the eyes, measure the height of the frame, and mark pilot holes one-third of the way down the frame. Drill a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the threaded portion of the eye. Drill carefully to avoid boring through the frame. Twist in the eyes by hand.
To determine the length of wire to cut for a picture, measure the picture width and add 50 percent. This allows enough wire to wrap each end around a screw eye and then around itself, while preventing the frame from dropping below the hanger.
Use double wire for heavy pictures. To securely hang heavy pictures where there is no access to a stud, run two wires between the screw eyes and support each with a hanger. Space the two hangers at least half the picture's width apart.
Nail a hanger to the wall. To determine the exact position for the hanger, poke a pencil point through the paper cutout at the spot where the picture wire will be when fully stretched by the picture weight. When you find the best location for the picture, tap a nail through the hole just enough to mark the wall.
Traditional hangers (A) have a nail that runs through the top, with a hook that acts as a hanger. They work in both drywall and plaster but may tend to chip plaster.
Hangers sold as "professional" picture hangers (B) also work in plaster and drywall. They have a thin, sharp, hardened nail that is less likely to chip plaster. The nail is removable and reusable.
Wallboard anchors (C) are large nylon screws that house metal screws. Drive the pointed end into the drywall with a hammer; then screw the anchor into the wall with a standard screwdriver. Drive in the metal screw, and hang the picture.
Anchors are available with hooks (D) to hang pictures and with special hooks to hang mirrors.

This made me very nervous. I was at class ("Insect Life" USDA Graduate School/Audubon Naturalist Society) last night until around 10 PM. I had wanted to hang the rest of my pupae, but didn't get it
done. This morning I saw that at least 5 had emerged without my help. So, I decided to video tape how they were doing this. I was amazing how they flipped themselves over, crawled over, and then climbed up the net sides.
They just need enough room, an easy path to walk, and a place to climb to inflate their wings--Go Monarchs!

The latest pet care news, adoptable pets, and cruelty alerts.
Our nine-year-old Labrador, Ebony, had not been herself for the past few months. She was vomiting, isolating, and snapping at our sons and our other Lab, whom she adored. We had several tests to rule out medical issues. She seemed to be declining mentally.
This past week she bit our five-year-old son on his face, requiring many stitches. We decided, after much agonizing and consulting our vet, to have her euthanized.
This was the most painful decision I have ever made. Our children are very sad I feel that my heart is broken. Ebony had been my constant companion. I have cried for days and don't know how to get through this. I feel so much guilt not knowing if I made the right decision.
The task of euthanizing a beloved dog is hard enough even when there is obvious pain and suffering due to a medical condition. When we must euthanize because of a behavioral issue, most of us feel helpless and very guilty. In Ebony's case, you can be comforted with the thought that you saved her from further indignities and loss of control.
One of your challenges is to reassure your son that Ebony's death was not his fault. Children his age usually cannot understand "natural causes," but we have no choice but to patiently explain the facts. For example, you can tell him that because of her age, her brain was not working very well. The dog she used to be—the one he trusted—would never have bitten him.
It sounds like you had Ebony before your son was born, and he would likely enjoy hearing about that time. You can even create a little book with him that tells the story of Ebony and the family that loved her.
He may ask about getting another dog soon. This does not mean he isn't grieving for Ebony. I hope you can reassure him that "Someday we will have another dog, but not right away."

Pierre Jackson was scuffling with his shot for Baylor. Thanks to their big men, the Bears had time to wait for the Big 12's leading scorer to finally get going against Oklahoma State.
Jackson finally hit two 3-pointers and made a tough inside basket in an 83-second span of the second half, and Isaiah Austin and Cory Jefferson both finished with double-doubles while combining for 11 blocks in the Bears' 64-54 victory Monday.
"The interior defense with Cory and Isaiah ... was really critical and crucial to the success. That allowed us to get some transition buckets and get going," coach Scott Drew said. "And then when Pierre gave us that little offensive spurt, we were able to get some momentum in that second half."
Austin, the 7-foot-1 freshman, had 10 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots for his seventh double-double for Baylor (13-5, 4-1 Big 12). Jefferson had 11 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks.
"Their bigs just had too big a numbers on both ends of the court, and they came up with the big rebounds," Cowboys coach Travis Ford said. "We never caught a rhythm. At no point did we get on a roll offensively to give us momentum to give us that kick."
Jackson had only five points in the game's first 24 minutes before his quick eight-point spurt pushed Baylor ahead by 10 points. Unlike their double-digit lead in the first half, the Bears held on this time.
Le'Bryan Nash had 24 points for Oklahoma State (12-5, 2-3), including 10 in their 11-2 run going into halftime for a 28-27 lead.
A.J. Walton, Austin and Brady Heslip all hit 3-pointers in the first 3½ minutes of the second half for Baylor, which never trailed again after that opening 10-4 spurt.
Jackson finished with 18 points, right at his average, while going 6-for-15 shooting including four 3-pointers. Before his eight-point spurt, the senior guard was 2-of-8 shooting and had taken only one of those shots after halftime — a badly-missed attempt on a 3-pointer.
"I don't really think they had anything to do with me missing a couple of shots. It was just me not following through," Jackson said. "I was just flicking it; I was just letting it go. Coach always preaches to me to hold my follow-through, and it will go in. He hasn't lied to me yet, and I was able to knock a couple down."
