"Concluding the adventure"
The main ingredient (it seems) for an adventure story is a bit of missing information. That might be something misunderstood (or rather poorly explained by the author) or confusing and protagonists and antagonists rush around trying to figure out what that missing piece of information actually means. This story is no different. The hidden information is not particularly well hidden (or surprising) giving the story a bit of blandness - it would help if there was some significant meaning behind the actions of the elves. There is little complexity in the characters - they are all true to (a very simple) form. There is a grand adventure (to find out the truth) wherein most of the characters that we have come to know are regarded as expendable. Every one of the long line of bad guys meet their demise during the story. And since their characters are not well developed its a bit hard to shed any tears. This is not a book for those who want a well developed story and characters. But not a bad listen if your expectations are not too high.
"Just Read It! You Won't Be Disappointed!"
It has to be in my top 10 for sure, and I have over 150 audiobooks in my library.
I can't say without giving away too much of the story. The end of the story just left me smiling, and not many books get that much of a reaction from me.
Any time Hadrian pulls out the spadone...you just know someone is going to get owned. Especially the last time when he has the flashback moment to what his father taught him. Gave me goosebumps!
I laughed plenty of times. What I didn't expect is that I would develop such strong connections to the characters, so that when someone died I kept waiting for the moment when they would pull through at the last minute, because I didn't WANT them to die. But characters in this series aren't killed just the sake of killing them, like in other popular books *cough!*GameOfThrones*cough!*
Can we say HBO series or movie? There's easily enough content here to support 6 seasons of an HBO series.
"Everything I love in a Fantasy"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the characters. I find myself wondering what Hadrian and Royce are up to now. The narration was terrific. My one complaint is that on occasion I really wished the description would wrap up and get back to the action.
"It's become an all time favorite"
Yes. I read the print version a while back (before getting into audible books) and loved it even then but for some reason Tim Gerard Reynolds just brings the characters to life.
Michael Sullivan just weaves a fantastic tale of adventure that reels you in. I loved the characters and their growth on their various quests and adventures.
He does such an excellent job of narrating and his voices for each character are consistent and fit well with the characterization in the novel. I can tell who is speaking by the voice and there are a lot of characters in the book (male, female, dwarf, eleven etc).
Definitely. I usually only listen to audible books on my commutes but with the Riyria Chronicles I was annoyed when I had to stop listening for real life responsibilities. I even played it while exercising instead of music and at home with my headphones while people watched tv around me.
"Epic conclusion to a fantastic series!"
There is so much happening in this book that it just takes off from the first word to the last one. At this point, all the back story is already established, so we jump right in to the action.
Hadrian really shines in this book. We get to see him flex his awesome fighting prowess, demonstrate some strategic intelligence, and we see some of his more vulnerable side as well. We see the depth of his connection with Royce, as Royce struggles with the aftermath of "Rise of Empire". Hadrian is simply a good man, and that really shows here. Add that to his wry wit and intelligent barbs and you have an interesting, admirable protagonist that I would love to be best friends with.
I have listened to all Reynold's performances in the two Riyria series. I feel like this is comparable to the rest of the series, which adds to the performance in my opinion. I feel it would be really off-putting to listen to a series where the quality varies from book to book.
I always laugh in these books. You can't help it, Reynold's does a great job with adding inflections and emotions to the voices so you can hear it when characters are incredulous or sarcastic or growling menacingly. But the truly impressive reaction in my mind is the frustration it can induce. You get to watch the enemy twist truth in truly impressive ways to suit their needs, and watch the general public swallow it, and all the while you know what manipulative, dangerous people they are. The political intrigues are intricate and brilliantly executed, and it is amazing to me how deftly the same event can be twisted into several different descriptions of that event to manipulate different types of people.
My dread grew as the conclusion of the saga grew nearer, but ultimately I was satisfied with the ending and and was willing to let the characters go. I love the way the author weaves in details and has them reappear significantly later in the story. There are no "come on" moments, when you feel you've been cheated because new information was sprung on you. What a wonderful storyteller Michael J. Sullivan is.
From other reviews, it seems like it's just me, but I could not always immediately tell from the narrator's voice which character was speaking. Specifically, I would think Hadrian was speaking and it would turn out to be one of the less prominent male characters. That was my only minor issue with the narration. The voices of Hadrian and Royce were definitely distinguishable from each other.
All in all, a very fitting conclusion to a wonderful series. Bittersweet - sorry it has ended but ultimately left smiling.
"Spectacular final book!"
I would. It's so well written that I feel like I'm close to Royce and Hadrian. I miss them already.
Could be Hadrian or Royce. Both such rich, multi-dimensional characters. Both skillful and what they do. Both always true to themselves. Both searching for meaning in their lives.
I can't possibly narrow this down. If you read this, you'll see what I mean. Such a great adventure!
Not sure I can pick the tag line, but I know it'd rival Game of Thrones on screen!
I stumbled across this series by accident. How luck I was!
Michael J Sullivan - you are a genious! Such complex yet elegant plot. Such rich characters. Just a great story. Thank you.
"Wonderful conclusion"
On par with the rest of the series.
So sad to say goodbye to this series. Great characters and a wonderful story.
Say something about yourself!
"Amazing Series"
This Last book in addition to the series is Amazing. A must read. Well Written! Great Plot! Great Characters! Unexpected events and outcomes. .. Amazing!!
"Must Read/listen too"
Every single one of these books are written so well. I don't think I'll every read another series like this again.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Australian mining magnate turned lawmaker Clive Palmer widely criticized for tirade at China
CANBERRA, Australia - A larger-than-life Australian mining magnate turned lawmaker, Clive Palmer, was widely accused Tuesday of threatening Australia's relationship with its biggest trading partner through an extraordinary tirade against China.
The 60-year-old multi-millionaire called the Chinese "bastards" and "mongrels" and accused Beijing of trying to take over Australia during a nationally televised forum on Australian Broadcasting Corp. on Monday night.
The tirade began when Palmer, who was elected to Parliament in October last year, was questioned about a legal dispute between his mining company Mineralogy and its Chinese state-owned partner, CITIC Pacific Mining. CITIC said in court that Palmer syphoned 12 million Australian dollars ($11 million) to fund his Palmer United Party's election campaign.
Palmer, whose party forms a powerful voting bloc in the Senate with the support of four senators, said his companies were owed "about AU$500 million by the communist Chinese government that doesn't want to pay." He said he was countersuing.
"But it won't stop the fact that the Chinese government wants to bring workers here to destroy our wage system; it won't stop the fact that they want to take over our ports and get our resources for free," Palmer said.
Palmer said CITIC had shipped AU$200 million in iron ore from Australia without paying royalties to Western Australian state, a claim the state premier denied.
"I don't mind standing up against the Chinese bastards and stopping them from doing it," Palmer said.
Palmer said his companies already had three federal and supreme court judgments "against these Chinese mongrels."
"I'm saying this because they're communist, they shoot their own people, they haven't got a justice system and they want to take over this country, and we're not going to let them do it," Palmer said.
Palmer said on his Twitter account on Tuesday his comments were "not intended to refer to Chinese people but to (a) Chinese company which is taking Australian resources & not paying."
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said Tuesday that she would personally tell the Chinese Embassy that "these views are not representative of the Australian Parliament and I don't believe representative of the Australian people."
"Mr. Palmer's comments are offensive, they are unnecessary and it is unacceptable for a member of Parliament to make such comments, particularly on a national television program," Bishop told Melbourne Radio 3AW. "I think he's using his position to demean the Chinese people because he's in a legal dispute with a Chinese company."
Treasurer Joe Hockey described Palmer's tirade as "hugely damaging."
"He is in a very obvious legal dispute with his Chinese partners, but I'd say to Mr. Palmer, please don't bring down the rest of Australia because of your biases," Hockey told reporters.
Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce described Palmer's comments as Australia finalizes a free trade deal with China as "not helpful."
Western Australia Premier Colin Barnett described Palmer's comments as "offensive, abhorrent and damaging" to his iron ore-rich state and Australia's long-standing relationship with China.
"CITIC Pacific has paid all royalties owed to the West Australian government on time and in full," he said.
"The royalties Mr. Palmer is referring to are payments owed to him and his private companies, not royalties owed to the state government ..." he added.
CITIC spokesman John Gardner declined to comment.
Palmer was a major donor to Australian conservative politics before he decided to bankroll his own political party.
His headline-grabbing business projects have included building a replica of the Titanic and adding a Jurassic Park-style collection of mechanical dinosaurs to the grounds of his five-star resort.

Minister Raitt Addresses the 2012 International Forum of Labour Agencies
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Jul 12 (MARKET WIRE) -- The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Canada's Labour Minister, today addressed participants at a roundtable meeting during the 2012 International Forum of Labour Agencies, which Canada is hosting. "The Forum is a valuable setting for labour and management representatives to exchange approaches to labour relations and best practices," said Minister Raitt. "In the context of a changing global economy, sharing knowledge with other advanced economies will help Canada better prepare for tomorrow's challenges." The Canada Industrial Relations Board and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service are active participants in the International Forum of Labour Agencies. This group is composed of representatives of the national labour relations agencies and boards of eight foreign jurisdictions: Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Northern Ireland and South Africa. The five-day Forum will address how industrial relations can best contribute to wealth creation, challenges and opportunities presented by social media, an ageing workforce and diversity in the workplace. It will also focus on how labour relations agencies can best contribute to constructive relations between workplace parties. This news release is available in alternative formats on request.

Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening.
In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. All course materials are provided.
We will be happy to offer a free language consultancy before the start of your language training course. This normally takes the form of a telephone conversation in which your specific language training requirements are discussed. We talk about the business situations in which you might be required to use your new language skills, and what work-specific terminology you would like to be able to use in the target language. We can also advise on the best method of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a language training course which will enable you to achieve them.
Judith is an excellent teacher, always positive, and engaged in my success.
With a one-on-one business Afrikaans course from Language Trainers, you can quickly and significantly improve the effectiveness of your Afrikaans in business communication. No matter what level you begin at we will soon have you dealing with business introductions comfortably before moving onto other matters. Those who have completed our beginner business Afrikaans course can expect to be comfortable with the idea of business meetings with Afrikaans speaking business people or work trips abroad to Afrikaans speaking countries.
No matter what your particular needs from learning Afrikaans, our general one-on-one Afrikaans courses in Boston will help immensely. We start at the beginning and let you progress naturally as you grow in confidence in Afrikaans with each lesson. The fact that we offer our Afrikaans classes on a One-on-One basis means that you can learn the words and phrases you need in a comfortable and relaxed environment.
Of course, we don't all like to learn on our own all of the time. Those Afrikaans students who want their classes at the same time as someone else haven't been forgotten. They can still learn Afrikaans in Boston in the best way possible thanks to our Two-on-One and In-Company Small Group sessions. For this type of teaching to give the outstanding results we aim for the students need to have the same Afrikaans requirements and be able to take classes together. They need to be booked at the same time too. This type of approach is ideal for up to 8 Afrikaans students. Bigger groups than this can still be catered for, with a maximum of 12 able to take part in an In-Company Taster Afrikaans course.

Debian GNU/Hurd 2013 Release Brings New Packages
Published on 22 May 2013 06:04 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
37 Comments
While it wasn't part of the
Debian 7.0 Wheezy
release earlier this month, the GNU non-Linux folks have now put out Debian GNU/Hurd 2013. This operating system pairs the Debian user-land with the GNU Hurd kernel.
Debian GNU/Hurd doesn't receive the level of attention or developer love as Debian GNU/Linux, or even compared to Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, but still the project is working out to a surprising level -- to the point that I've even been able to do
benchmarks of Debian GNU/Hurd
in the past.
The Debian GNU/Hurd 2013 release is based upon Debian Sid at the time of the Debian Wheezy release and is being made available in CD, DVD, and net-installer formats. Debian GNU/Hurd right now is only in a 32-bit spin, but there are more than 10,000 software packages available.
Sadly due to the Hurd kernel's less than stellar hardware/driver support, if wishing to run Debian GNU/Hurd on any modern hardware, it's mostly only useful when running in a QEMU virtual machine.
For more information on Debian GNU/Hurd 2013, read its release announcement at
. Benchmarks of Debian GNU/Hurd against GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD are forthcoming on Phoronix.

K-array Loudspeakers and Sennheiser Microphones Bedazzle Audiences with Outstanding Performances during SXSW Music Festival
Austin, TX, March 22, 2010 â Audio specialist Sennheiser provided spectacular sound for a diverse range of artists during the SXSW Music Festival as its microphones and wireless transmittersâas well as the revolutionary loudspeakers from distributed brand K-arrayâwere put through the paces over the course of the three-day event. Sennheiser sponsored busy stages at the PureVolume House, Maggie Mae's and Speakeasy–each located at the heart of Austin's music scene.
The stage at PureVolume House featured a set of the K-array Redline KR200s loudspeakers, which deliver 'no compromise sound' within an astonishingly small footprint. Artists were also provided with a Sennheiser SKM 2000 wireless handheld transmitter with MMD 935-1 capsule and a full complement of evolution microphones for reinforcing guitars, drums and other instruments. Similar equipment was used during performances at Maggie Mae's and Speakeasy.
The sound of Sennheiser could be heard both on and off the stage during Austin's most famous music festival. Blameshift, a Long Island, NY-based rock band that just released a brand new self-titled EP, allowed fans to preview their music through a pair of Sennheiser HD 238s as they strolled through the crowd. Sennheiser reps were on hand for the duration, providing demos on a range of Sennheiser headsets and offering plenty of giveaways to music fans.
SPOTLIGHT ON K-ARRAY: Revolutionary Sound, Compact Footprint
The KR200s was chosen as the loudspeaker for PureVolume House for a few compelling reasons. First, the deceivingly small system delivers well-balanced, crisp sound across the entire frequency range. Second, its small size and low weight make it remarkably easy to set up and tear down, making it ideal for an evening gig or a temporary installation.
The KR200s is a powered two-way system designed for use with small to medium wavefront systems, in both mobile and install applications. Its ultra-slim satellite features a line array of two-inch, high-efficiency drive units with a neodymium magnet structure and suspensions. This ensures maximum linear excursion of sound with minimal noise. Since the K-array unit features a revolutionary design and is not housed in a traditional speaker cabinet, it delivers a truly natural sound.

LIVE COVERAGE: ADELAIDE has delivered owners Coolmore and Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien their first Cox Plate victory.
AUSTRALIA faces a huge challenge to claw its way back into the first Test after going to stumps on day three trailing Pakistan by 189 runs.
WATCH the brutal hit by Sydney import Josh Childress that has rocked the NBL and is being replayed all over the world.
HAVEN'T got a clue about the Cox Plate? Neither do we! Here's everything you'll need to know ahead of a big day at Moonee Valley.
AARON Baddeley is two shots off the lead after the opening round of the US PGA Tour's McGladrey Classic in Georgia.
A new event added to our calendar, Women in Sport was designed to celebrate all that is great about female athletes.
This function will be different every year and can be held either at the MCC or at an external location. Our function includes a two course specially selected menu with a full beverage service.
This event provides us the opportunity to showcase the contributions made to our sporting industry by women from all different sports.
2013 saw us celebrate female Olympians with Tales from the Olympic Starting Line. Our Olympians included: Shelley Chaplin – wheelchair basketball, Leanne Del Toso - wheelchair basketball, Elise Rechichi - sailing, Danielle Woodward – slalom kayak, Loudy Wiggins - diving and Liz Cambage - basketball. Our panel host for the evening was Tiffany Cherry.
We also had our own WOMCC Committee member Margot Foster who was a member of the crew which won Australia its first Olympic medal in women's rowing. Margot played the important role as stroke and she stroked the coxed four to a bronze medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
This year was a networking event only however, future events will combine networking and fundraising depending on the format of the function.
Please support this function and book early so as not to miss out.

The Hollywood Museum Extends Marilyn Monroe Exhibition Through 9/22
"Marilyn Monroe: The Exhibit" An Intimate Look At The Legend, the nation's largest exhibit of authentic memorabilia celebrating the fabled actress' life, is now extended through September 22, at The Hollywood Museum due to popular demand. This year marks the 50th anniversary milestone of Monroe's passing. The Hollywood Museum in the Historic Max Factor Building is located at 1660 N. Highland Ave. at Hollywood and Highland. The Hollywood Museum.
The scope of the exhibition encompasses Marilyn Monroe's costumes from her films, publicity gowns, garments and furs from her personal wardrobe, original documents from her private files, furniture from her final home in Brentwood, original Marilyn Monroe artwork, photographs and many Marilyn Monroe personally owned artifacts including:
- The million dollar honeymoon dress that Marilyn wore on her honeymoon with husband, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio in 1954. This was Marilyn's favorite personal gown, designed by Ceil Chapman, hand-beaded in Marilyn's signature style. She wore this gown on numerous occasions over the balance of her life, including on her USO tour to Korea (1954) where she entertained 10,000 troops over the course of several days.
- Marilyn's famous cream colored, beaded costume worn in The Prince and the Show Girl (1957).
- Personal wardrobe items including the lime green Pucci blouse Marilyn Monroe wore in the last ever photos of her taken alive, when she was staying at the Cal-Neva Lodge in Lake Tahoe, California.
- Marilyn's favorite furs and accessories including the natural mink fur collar Marilyn often wore in New York and London in the 1950s.
- Never before seen photographs, including the last photo ever taken in a photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe by her close personal friend George Barris.
- NBC's critically acclaimed "Smash" has a special costume display featuring their Marilyn Monroe dresses.
- "Red Velvet" photo session and infamous "Golden Dreams" calendar. In 1949, Marilyn Monroe was a struggling young actress. To earn some quick money to make a car payment, Marilyn was paid $50 to pose for photographer Tom Kelley, for what became known as the legendary "Red Velvet" photos
- The evening cape worn by Marilyn to the world premiere of the James Dean classic East of Eden (1955).
- Max Factor 's "Marilyn Monroe" makeup room where he created the famous "Marilyn Monroe blonde" hair including Marilyn's makeup case and other personal items on display.
- A prescription pill bottle and the Decadron vial found on Marilyn's bedside table the morning after she died.
- Furniture and artwork from Marilyn's Brentwood home, including the solid wood dresser that was next to Marilyn's bed in her bedroom the night she died.
- Original works of art by famed artists Robert A. Delgado.
- Original works of art by artist LUDVIC.
- A vast photograph collection of many never-before-seen photos of Marilyn's childhood, family and early modeling career, including an array of photographs showing how Monroe lived, worked and played in Los Angeles.
- Marilyn Monroe's annotated film scripts, personal letters, invoices, receipts and financial accounting documents, showcasing in great detail the personal and very private life of the greatest film star of all time.
- The Nikon camera and lens that Mr. Barris used for Marilyn's photo sessions is also on display. (Note: Signed limited edition photographs by Mr. Barris are available for sale at the Museum)
- And much more…
"The Hollywood Museum in the Historic Max Factor Building is considered the perfect venue for this exhibit since it is actually where the legendary Max Factor originally designed Marilyn's hair and coloring," says Museum Founder and President Donelle Dadigan. "When you walk into the 'FOR BLONDES ONLY ROOM,' you feel Marilyn Monroe's presence."

Best Uses
Not made for large dogs. There is no protection for the canope from your dog chewing it up. Placed chicken wire over most of top and still a disaster. Replacement canopies are a pricey $40 bucks. Purchased two of the gazebos and put them together as illustrated but cross-way between gazebos is uncovered and a pain to connect. Also time consuming to put together. Have gone through two canopies in as many months. Nice to look at but not functionally worth it.

Lenses / Re: advice for new lens?please« on: August 03, 2014, 05:57:27 AM »
Which 200L have you got? The 2.8 or the 2.0?
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
If it was $199 in the US, I don't see how anyone could resist. Even if the 22mm lens is the only lens you buy, you just can't do any better for $199 (I'm even talking about the Panasonic GF2 body for $99 plus a lens).Yes, I'm sure there would be many takers at $199. However, to put this in context, £199 is $336
I'd still like to see them best Nikon's 12-24.14-24?
Unlike many Google translations, this one is a bit more readable...
I note the comment that the 16-35 mk2 was good for APS-H ;-)
The multiple aspheric lens surfaces allow them to ease some of the compromise between reducing distortion and field flatness. The two front lens elements make quite a significant contribution to this and will likely be seen again in new ultra wide zoom designs.
I still want a TS-E14 though ;-)
All Sigma lenses have focusing problems! I had two of the a 24-700 and 70-200 last versions - I sent them to be calibrated with my body and then everything was ok.
This is FALSE. I have two Sigma lenses that have had no focusing problems. (I don't consider improving AF accuracy with in-camera AFMA to be part of a "problem.")
But the 50 Art that I received did have erratic, unreliable AF that could not be helped with AFMA.
So, if online chatter can lead to Sigma fixing the problem, we aren't helping by using sweeping, ranting statements such as "All Sigma lenses have focusing problems!"
I stated this before and say this again: I did not and do not have AF problems with my 50Art. And I agree with YuengLinger. It is wrong to make statements like "All Sigma lenses have focusing problems!" - it is not true. Sigma did a great job with the Art series.
But it's annoying to buy a fairly expensive AF lens which you're expected to fiddle around with on a docking station and even then seems best used, in the case of many copies at any rate, in MF mode.
Why do you think AFMA exists on Canon cameras? To address the same problem that the docking station is for.
The problem isn't QC it is engineering tolerances and the fact that neither camera nor lens are all made the same. There is copy variation between each camera and lens. This means that whilst AFMA might be +5 for a given lens on your camera, that same lens might be -5 on my camera and that same lens might be +0 on someone else's camera.
Like we've said soo many times before, it's NOT about afma ... Sigh, it's the inconsistency ! Please print this message and tape it on your fridge.
AFMA is there because there is inconsistency. Canon recognizes that there is inconsistency in camera/lens manufacture and thus introduced that feature to allow people to tune their own camera. If every lens was the same, AFMA wouldn't be needed.
It's difficult for me to imagine a reason I'd ever buy a gopro.

If you've been following Kanye West's wild'n'crazy Twitter account, you'll be familiar with his tweets about being "on set of the movie" and trying to make a disobedient deer sit still.
According to sources close to the rapper/producer, Yeezy is reportedly working on a short film in Prague that will act as a companion to his highly anticipated new album. The working title? My Dark Twisted Fantasy.
As if he didn't already have enough to do, tweaking the final touches on his album, readying a brand new track every week for "Good Friday" and of course, keeping up with his tweeting habit, we're getting a movie that looks as though it co-stars both a deer and sheep, according to some photos that were posted on YourAudioFix.com.
Based on the last time we saw Kanye in a film (remember the wacko, Spike Jonze-directed short, We Were Once a Fairytale?), we can only assume the animals will be part of some surreal fantasy sequence where 'Ye has some deep, philosophical debate about the human condition with the two animals. Or so we hope and pray.

Miami Beach police rescue dog from water
Updated On: Jan 07 2014 11:14:07 AM EST
Police helped rescue a dog who got out of his yard and ended up in the Intracoastal Waterway.
Frankie, a Chihuahua and cocker spaniel mix, spent almost two hours in the water off Di Lido Island.
"He got loose and we've been looking for him," said his owner, Jeremiah Heffron. "I used to take him out swimming in the Intracoastal a lot and he loves to swim."
Heffron adopted Frankie a year ago from Animal Rescue, and since then, Frankie has been losing his eyesight and is now blind. He was worried when his pouch turned up missing.
"When I got the call that he was missing, a lot of things go through your head," said Heffron.
As it turned out, Heffron had nothing to be concerned about. Residents saw Frankie in the water and called police. Marine patrol found him and was able to pluck Frankie out of the water.
"Good thing he just swam up to the boat, [and] made it easy for me to just scoop him up," said Vincent Canete with Miami Beach Patrol. "He's a good swimmer."
In no time at all, Frankie was back safe in his owner's arms.
Officers joked that Frankie was rescued twice in the past year: Monday and when Heffron found him at the animal shelter.

ChCh rail 'important option'
Related Links
Relevant offers
Share your news and views
When I wrote my article about commuter rail for Christchurch, I did not expect it to be so popular and I am glad that it gave many people a greater understanding of the issues involved. I am also thankful to Fairfax Media for publishing something so long.
I still edited out a lot however.
I never included why it is important to look at rail as an option.
It is not about what form of transport people like, but it is about using the right tool for the right job.
When it comes to moving commuters from satellite towns and outer suburbs in the North and the West, then commuter rail is the right tool for the job.
But when it comes to moving suburban commuters inside the city itself, buses are the right tool for the job.
This means that a Metro rail service and the Metro Bus service would complement each other; the rail would only replace the 88 bus and the Northern part of the B bus line.
The other bus lines that act as feeder services to these bus routes would remain as feeder services with the Metro rail instead.
To demonstrate why commuter rail is the best tool to service the satellite towns, then we should look at public transport commute times.
If you look at the MetroInfo website, you can see that the B line from Rangiora takes 60 minutes at non-peak times, 66 minutes at inter-peak times (around noon) and 70-74 minutes with an express bus at peak times.
With a commuter train it should take around 45 minutes, although that is speculative and depends on how many stations the line will have. But we know that an express train should only take around 28 minutes, because that is the time it takes the Coastal Pacific to get to Rangiora.
The alternative times for 88 bus to Rolleston is 45 minutes for non-peak times, 50 minutes at inter-peak times and 55 minutes at peak times. A normal train should take around 30 minutes, but an express would take 20 minutes, the same time as the TranzAlpine takes to get to Rolleston.
Some people have stated that Christchurch is too small or not dense enough, but the reality is that Wellington can afford a commuter rail system, and is smaller than Christchurch.
It is also more important how many people live in and around satellite towns and outer suburbs than the density Christchurch's inner city suburbs.
Some people questioned the lack of inclusion of Ashburton and Amberley.
This was because Amberley is, at present, too small and Ashburton would be a 70 minute commute.
There were a lot of people last year calling for an Ashburton service and it could be an extension of a Rolleston express train, but only the people of Mid-Canterbury know if they would use the service or not.
One other thing of importance that I left out is the issue of who would run the commuter rail service.
In Auckland, this service is run by the international rail operator Transdev, while in Wellington the service is run by Kiwirail subsidiary, Tranz Metro.
We could create our own local rail operator here in Canterbury, or use Otago's local rail operator TGR (Taieri Gorge Railway), but it would create too many overheads and therefore it would make more sense to get Kiwirail or a international rail operator to run it as they already have a CEO, a financial department, a communication department and so forth.
Costs such as ticketing agents, a central ticketing hub and marketing would be part of the already existing Metro organisation.
It should also be known that rail operators do not maintain the track themselves, they and other users pay a small user fee to the track owner to allow them to use it. This is a lot like the road user charge that diesel vehicles pay.
It is important to reiterate that Christchurch ratepayers would not pay for this themselves, but would split the cost among the four government parties, as much of the build cost would be in double tracking in Selwyn and build passing loops in Waimakariri.
Therefore Christchurch would not have to pay for the infrastructure alone as stated by some individuals.
In Wellington and Auckland, the cost of hiring the rail operators is funded by a mix of passenger fares, funding for public transport by the New Zealand Transport Agency and funding by regional councils (prior to Auckland's super city merger).
Therefore the Christchurch City Council will not be paying for the running costs of the rail service, just a quarter of the infrastructure price.
The city council is paying for many other projects that cost far more than $50 million and are of less benefit to the whole region, yet those that say they are speaking in the name of fiscal responsibility do not seem to have the same vigour against these other projects.
These same people also do not have a solution to the fact that these satellite towns are growing rapidly, that there will be more people commuting and that the 70-minute bus commutes will be taking even longer.
Commuter rail can be a solution to that problem and will allow these satellite towns to grow, giving the people of the greater Christchurch area more housing options

Acclaim troubles deepen
By way of an addendum to yesterday's Acclaim bankruptcy murmurings, news has reached us today that the embattled publisher has also lost two key franchises. First-up is Turok, the licence for which has been lost upon grounds of unpaid royalties, curiously the same reason the official major league baseball licence has also been lost. Whilst the last Turok game (Evolution) was a flop any way, the baseball licence is a whole different kettle of fish - being a crucial component of the publisher's best-selling All-Star Baseball game.
All-Star Baseball has been something of a reliable cash cow for Acclaim of late, at a time when other key titles have repeatedly flopped. The loss of the licence would mean no official player likenesses or names in the game, clearly a blow for Acclaim's ambitions of recovery. Meanwhile, Acclaim are contending that said royalties have been paid, and a legal dispute is in the offing stateside.
Shares slid to a fifty-two week low of just $0.24 upon the news, though Acclaim is also said to be in negotiations over the recovery of the Turok licence. All this after losing the Burnout series to EA will come as a further knock to a company incapable of withstanding many more mishaps, we'll keep you up to speed.

Milan, Lombardy, and the Lakes Travel Guide
Milan, Lombardy, and the Lakes Hotels
Given that this is the wealthiest part of Italy, most hotels here cater to a clientele willing to pay for extra comfort. Outside Milan, many are converted villas with well-landscaped grounds. Most of the famous lake resorts are expensive; many smaller lakeside hotels are more reasonably priced. Local tourism offices throughout the region are an excellent source of information about affordable lodging.
Please note the time for "high season" can vary here—in the lakes it's at the height of summer, not surprisingly, but in Milan it depends on what fairs and exhibitions are being staged. Prices in almost all hotels can go up dramatically during the Furniture Fair in early April. Fashion, travel, and tech fairs also draw big crowds throughout the year, raising prices. In contrast to other cities in Italy, however, you can often find discounts on weekends. The three lake districts—Maggiore, Garda, and Como—have little to offer except quiet from November to March, when most gardens, hotels, and restaurants are closed.

OU vs. Texas→ Location: Austin, Texas →Enrollment: 50,000
Breaking down Texas
→Mascot: Longhorns →Conference: Big 12 →Record: 5-0, 2-0 →Last game: The Longhorns overcame a 14-10 halftime deficit to slaughter Colorado, 38-14. Wide receiver Jordan Shipley led the way with 11 catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns, including a 74-yard punt return score. →Best player: QB Colt McCoy finished second only to Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford in the Heisman voting last year. McCoy hasn't been quite as sharp this season, but still is completing 71 percent of his passes and has thrown nine TDs. →Why they could win: In McCoy and Shipley, the Longhorns have arguably the best pass-receiving combo in college football. The defense is also improved from last year, led by defensive end Sergio Kindle and safety Earl Thomas. →Why they could lose: While they remain undefeated, the Longhorns haven't been dominant. Texas needed TDs on a blocked punt, an interception return and a punt return to put away lowly Colorado. The Longhorn offense can get one-dimensional quickly without a reliable running game, and the defense has been susceptible to big passing plays.

Your Relationship With Nature
Your relationship with Nature speaks volumes about you
Do you only see Nature as a means to financial gain or are you one of those who
Love Nature for her beauty and love her wildlife and her trees
And her rivers, lakes and mountains and her fields and flowers and bees?
Your relationship with Nature tells of the sort of person that you are
Do you see Nature's protectors as those who have gone too far
In their dispute with the developer in their fight for every tree
If this be so you support the environmental vandals or so 'twould seem to me?
Your relationship with Nature about you more can say
Than all of your friends and enemies can or so 'twould seem that way
For your apathy to Nature tells of your inner strife
And your attitude to Nature is your attitude to life.
Your relationship with Nature says far more about you
Than anyone else of you can say as their words may not be true
For if you love Mother Nature and with her live in harmony
Then you are working for the good of all of humanity.

James Hardie sees improving U.S. housing market next year
WELLINGTON Nov 15 (Reuters) - Australian building materials maker James Hardie Industries Ltd said it expected the U.S. housing market would improve next year even as the country faces the risk of tax increases.
"Most of us feel that even if we have some bumps, not shocks, on tax rates and stuff like that, the housing market will still grow. It may not grow at the optimum rate but it will still grow," James Hardie Chief Executive Louis Gries told reporters on Thursday.
"We think there will be at least some increase in housing next year over this year."
Earlier on Thursday the company, which makes two-thirds of its sales in the United States and Europe, announced a fall in profits for the second quarter and half year.

Several bomb attacks in Iraqi capital Baghdad left 26 dead and 68 others injured on Tuesday.

Apostleship of the Sea volunteer ship visitor Joe McHugh has been awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire medal) for his services to radioactive substances regulation and also for his voluntary services to the community.
For many years Dr McHugh has worked in the Radioactive Substances Regulation department at the Environment Agency's headquarters in Bristol working to ensure radioactive material is used and disposed of properly throughout England.
The 59-year-old married father-of-two was also recognised for his voluntary work which includes ship visiting with seafarers' charity Apostleship of the Sea, which locally cares for seafarers coming into Sharpness Docks in the South West of England.
Joe said he was flabbergasted when he heard the news he was receiving the honour. "I am very honoured to get the award," he said. "I didn't think I really deserved it, I think I have a very good team at the agency. I can think of a lot of people who could deserve the award rather than me. My family were very pleased for me."
Joe has got to know many of the multi-cultural crew that call at Sharpness over the years and is always ready to listen as they talk and tell him of their lives. He offers them comfort and strength and also practical help in terms of clothes and help to contact loved ones back home by phone or internet.
Apostleship of the Sea explain that for more than ten years a team of volunteer ship visitors has been supporting the faith and welfare of ship visitors calling at the port of Sharpness. An important part of the work of Joe and the rest of the AoS team has been bringing seafarers to mass at their parish of Christ the King Thornbury.
