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

"Getting us there!"
I loved the first 7 books of this series, and then felt let down by the next three. I kept thinking to myself please just get me to the last battle! And then book 11 came, I almost didn't get this book, I didn't know if I had anymore to give to this series. Well I am so glad I did get this one, it restored my love in the wheel-of-time series. It returned to the core party, it tied off loss ends, and made a very good start at getting us to the final battle. I felt the urgency growing!
I will not give away anything, however I must say there is one very emontional part that was written to tug at the heart strings, and it did, I wanted to join the golden crain and stand by it in the last battle!
If you have read the last 10 books, you must, must get this one! If you are thinking of starting a new series with lot of life I can recommend this one now with no hesitation.
See you at the last battle!
"Better than the last few, but"
Well things finally get moving again in this one. We've been suffering through the last couple of books, but now we've got some action, and finally resolution to a couple of the plot lines. Only problem here is we're still hearing way too much about the Aes Sedai. They still come off sounding like a bunch of spoiled children arguing over their little plots while the world comes apart around them. It seems to come off as petty bickering instead of political intrigue, but you can suffer through that to get the rest of it.
Like others have said, too much Aes Sedai, not enough of Matt, Perrin, and Rand. But if you've gone this far, through 10 books, including a couple that were downright painful, then you'll be pleased with this. Now, stop reading reviews, you know you were going to buy it anyway. Just click add to cart and be done with it...well go on.
"Stuff is happening! It's happening!!"
You didn't make it here if you are not a WoT fan...(except for the one reviewer who seems to think skipping a few books is a reasonable thing to do...).
At any rate - there are no long courtships (well...except for "Precious" and "Toy" - but it's not annoying), everyone has pretty much fallen into his or her role, and we're back on track, making significant progress toward the last battle.
There's excitement, and victories, and...well, there are still 3 more books (was going to be 1, but Sanderson wisely changed it to 3. The first of the three is even better than this one, BTW).
I would strongly suggest going back through the first 11 again before starting the last three - but short of that, DEFINITELY do this one. If you go back and listen/read a second (or more) time, you'll notice that this series is ... amazingly ... coherent...
Anyway - after ... a thousand or two pages of ... seemingly little movement - this book (if not the one before) gets things back on track.
If you're a WoT fan, and I KNOW you are (except the lady who skipped a few books), you WILL like this one.
"So, you'll read it anyhow"
So, if you're like me you're in for a nickel, in for a dime on this series. If you've read the other 10, you're bound to read this just to see what happens.
Welcome to Knife of Dreams, the second to last book of the Wheel of Time series and well...its good, but its no Great Hunt, Shadow Rising, Fires of Heaven, its not even a Crown of Swords.
Dont get me wrong, its still enjoyable because Jordan is finally getting around to fulfilling all of the prophecies and foretellings that characters have had over the last 10 books, but I get the feeling that while he still writes in big blocky paragraphs, he is rushing to tie things up.
Overall, if you've read the entire series you're reading one of the better ones since book 7, but read w/ gaurded expectations as this isnt a mind blowing experience.
"Good luck Robert"
If you follow Robert Jordan you are probably aware by now that he is currently fighting a life threatening disease and his family and fans face the prospect of loosing a literary genius. Robert Jordan has given fans of fantasy one of the great epics, as I write this I pray that he he is given the the time to write us an end for this great work and goes on to create many more. Many thanks Robert and may God speed you back to good health. Start at the beginning and read them all… some slow paced….. some fast….. some lows but many highs…. Overall, authorial brilliance.
"Love the story .. But audio jumps"
Goes without saying, I am a fan of the story. I of course agree it tends to go off in too many side plots, and it is easy to get confused who is on the side of the shadow, pretending to walk in the light. That being said, I am still a fan and can't wait to see how it all ends.
Only complaint about this particular audio book is that in part three somewhere, Reading is narrating a part about Egwene in the Tower, and it all of a sudden jumps to Kramer narrating about Matt or Rand (forget which one), in another part of the book. Feel like I lost some reading there.
"Getting better..."
Well I must say it is indeed getting a little better with this series. The last two editions in this series have been tragic disappointments with one pointless side plot after another. At least with this latest edition of the Wheel of Time, there seems to be a progression of the main story lines as well as some action that was sorely lacking in the last few books. I hope that the next few editions continue on this (hopefully) upward progression back to the original plot lines.
"Better, but only because of Mat Cauthon"
The past 3 books have mostly been awful, if judged on their own and not as a whole with the entire series.
This one is definitely better, but only because of the Mat Cauthon story line. I would have thought I would enjoy Perrin's as well, but it is attached to yet another situation where a bunch of female characters are being held against their will. And, of course, as soon as she is rescued, Jordan immediately writes another set of his female characters to walk with bravado into another obvious situation for things to not go as planned and one of them gets taken against their will.
I agree with many of the other reviews. Jordan is as verbose as ever, but everything reads rushed and sloppy. I can't help but feel that there was too much time spent on things that just don't have enough literary value to the story.
It's worth it just for the Mat Cauthon parts, though. Mat has consistently been the most interesting and consistently quality reading character out of all of the later books. Perhaps making up for the fact that he spent so much of the earlier books annoyingly under the influence of or chasing the dagger from Shadar Logoth.
"Yeah, right, you'll buy it anyway, just like me!"
Sure, read the first TEN books and skip number eleven cause some reviewer didn't like it? RIGHT!! the book was a good one, and I have the same complaint as the other ten from RJ, too heavy with Aes Sedia plotting, too light on the boys, and a total setup for number twelve. Ain't it grand!!
We RJ fans will always happily spend our money on books in this series and complain later, at the same time trying to get our friends hooked on the wheel of time series and extolling it's virtue to the world.
Robert Jordan is know for taking his sweet time with setting up plots and even more for resolving them(even more for describing everything). This book is no different from the other ten in that respect. It starts off really slow, but after about a third of the way through begins to heat up.
Perrin/Faile plot is finally resolved. Mat/Tuon plot comes to a head. And for once all the time spent on Elaynes' story leads somewhere. All in all a huge improvement over the last few books, but still lacking some of the grandeur and pace that made the earlier books so captivating. My biggest complaint is that Rand, once again, barely gets a piece of this book(my favorite character). Rand is so darn cool, use him more RJ.
With one more book to go(supposedly) u wont want to miss out on this one. I almost forgive RJ for the last 3 in the series... almost
"Poor quality recording"
Good book sadly let down be a very poor recording that frequently jumped and seemed to miss the odd sentence
"Coming Together"
It's good to see parts of the many stranded stories within the Wheel Of Time moving towards completion. For a long time it seemed that things were just moving along but now it's difficult to put the book down. Can't wait for the next in the series.
"Great return to form... such a shame though.."
It's a shame that this was Jordan's swan song, as this was a brilliant return to what readers were used to, and completely supassed my expectations.
Book 10 was very hard to finish reading as a novel, and even in audible form, despite the narrators excellent efforts, it was a fairly dull book.
Knife of Dreams not only corrected Book 10's problems, but it is possibly Jordan's best, if not very close to The Shadow Rising. This book has more action in it's prolouge than occured in the previous book!
It sets a relentless pace and moves the storyline along at an appreciated rate.
Mat is extremely funny as always, and this book brings a welcome, if bittersweet ending to the Faile-Shaido story arc.
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading brought their usual good work to the narration, I couldn't imagine Wheel of Time without them!
It was a shame Jordan died afterwards. Sanderson did a great job following up Jordan's work, but Jordan himself will be missed greatly.
"another great book!"
loving the wheel of time series! the greatest fantasy series ever? it is certainly close!
"Missing and skipping"
The audio skips quite alot; sometimes at key narrative moments. Im not even confident that the last line of the book was recorded.
Not up to audibles standard
"Return to form but annoying quality issues"
This was definitely a return to form for Jordan, where he finally begins to draw in the threads of the story together and you regain a feeling of momentum sadly lost in some of the preceding books.
Not so much about their performance. I've enjoyed the narrators work, especially as they have grown in confidence across the series and I've never understood the criticism that others have made about the narration. It has definitely felt more balanced as the female characters came to prominence in the story giving Kate a bigger share of the narration.
What did annoy me were the quality issues in the recording. I'd have put it down to a corrupted download but i see other listeners had similar issues so it must be in the original recording. Fortunately they seem to have got a grip on the editing so there was less double line reading than in the previous book.
I'd started to have concerns around book 6 which became fully realised in the following 3 to 4 books. Progress slowed, plots became more complicated, and some progress already made was undone in further plot twists which seemed unnecessary. More major characters were being added along with additional story threads and the end seemed to be getting further away rather than closer so this book was a welcome relief.
"excellent with some audio issues"
the story and performance by both narrators excellent. Unfortunately the audio would crackle and break or even skip often. Not so much as to lose track of what was happening but jarring.
"Ruined by interference"
Another excellent reading by the two speakers, although it's amusing hearing the differences in how they do the regional accents.
We'll paced with plenty of action across the characters and loved the Tuon Matt storyline development.
However the recording quality left a lot to be desired with static & stutters appearing every hour or so and although words fluid the appear to be missed it ruined my listening pleasure hence three stars overall.
"brilliant story"
as usual a really good book from Robert Jordan. I marked the review down as there appeared to be some problems with the recording, seemed to be some skipping
"One of the best in series."
This book is always so fun and engaging to listen to. All of the characters are nearing their full potential and the last battle is drawing closer, cannot get enough of it!

Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1: Are the Characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force Really Moving to Seattle?
Could Carl ever be a Seahawks fan?
Shannon Cottrell
In late April, Adult Swim announced that Aqua Teen Hunger Force, one of the shows that launched the late-night television network, was changing its name to Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1. According to series co-creator Dave Willis, this is "more than a name change."
"It's an agenda change," said Willis when we spoke with him and fellow co-creator Matt Maiellaro over the phone. "The show has been changed on an atomic level. Molecular. The show is completely different, except for the character names. We kept the character names to protect the identity of the previous show, which we are completely destroying."
After more than ten years and one hundred episodes, we couldn't help but wonder, why change now?
Aqua Teen Hunger Force/Aqua Unite Patrol Squad 1 co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis at San Diego Comic-Con 2010
Shannon Cottrell
"We wanted to see America drop to it's knees and freak out trying to reprogram their TiVos," said Willis. "Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the reason why most people invested in a television. Now that we've turned them onto so many other networks and shows, through our gateway drug, we've decided to open a new passageway to entertainment."

Seriously, though, it was just time for a change.
"It was simply a personal choice," said Maiellaro. "We were bored with it, decided to change it, come up with a new fresh open and a whole new show, just try it out."
From what we saw in the video press release, the new series finds the anthropomorphic fast food friends as detectives (those who followed Aqua Teen from the beginning may recall that the characters supposedly solved crimes in early episodes) living in Seattle. We had a little bit of trouble believing that last bit. Wouldn't a move to Seattle mean that Carl Brutananadilewski would have have to change his football allegiance.
"No, he still backs the Giants," said Willis.
"It would be kind of weak if he were a Seahawks fan," he added. "There's not a whole lot of attitude to that."
But, why Seattle?
"It rains there a lot. We've never been there. We like Courtney Love," said Willis.
He added, "Also, Frasier took place in Seattle and that was a very successful show. We want to follow in those footsteps."
Somewhere amidst a round of background laughter, we could hear Maiellaro agree that "it was a very funny show."
"We felt like that was the secret to making a new show," said Willis.
"Sounds like a plan," I responded.
"Sounds like a terrible plan, doesn't it?" he asked.
Willis noted that Seattle would give them an opportunity for new jokes, like "Space Needle jokes."
Maiellaro added "grunge rock jokes."
For the record, we did get to see a screener of one forthcoming episodes after we spoke with the show creators and have good reason to believe that the show's core characters are still in New Jersey. Maybe things will make more sense after Sunday night's premiere.

A contemporary icon depicting Dr. King. |
We have run stories in years past documenting how agents of power, including the Pentagon, have attempted to usurp Dr. King's legacy of principled, faith-based nonviolence as a means of legitimizing their own ends. But ahead of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day next Monday, it seems a new and particularly appalling trend in the cooptation of Dr. King's legacy, and the legacy of the civil rights movement as a whole, is gaining ground in conservative circles.
Easily one of the most galling themes to emerge from the post-Newtown discourse around gun control has been the equation by hardline gun owner's of their aversion to desperately needed gun reform with the struggle for civil rights for the nation's African-American populations. And the parallels, when one stops to consider them, are indeed striking, at least insofar as one is willing to equate slightly more stringent background checks and a ban on the further manufacture and sale of military-grade weaponry with widespread disenfranchisement; ubiquitous economic exploitation and employment discrimination; the consequences and constant threat of direct violence and deeply-engrained systems of structural and cultural violence; and the holy scandal of such a highly stratified, unjust, segregated society.
Yes, when one is willing to concede those similarities in circumstances, the parallels do indeed become truly striking.
As has become his wont in recent years whenever a discussion of gun reform hits the national airwaves, C-list rocker and A-list gun-toting lunatic Ted Nugent was among the first out of the gate in this latest race for the bottom. Nugent suggested last week during an interview with conspiracy hotspot WorldNetDaily that "There will come a time when the gun owners of America...will be the Rosa Parks and we will sit down on the front seat of the bus."
Nugent's choice of example is hugely problematic for a number of reasons which we will discuss below, but in this instance, the Motor City Madman (and I mean that in the most clinical sense) has actually been outdone in his ahistorical insensitivity by one Larry Ward, the chairman of the first annual "Gun Appreciation Day," to be held this Saturday, January 19th. Ward has already faced some criticism over the scheduling of Gun Appreciation Day - two days before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the second inauguration of President Barack Obama. But Ward is apparently not only unconcerned about the scheduling - and here's the kicker - but he also feels that Gun Appreciation Day actually honors the legacy of Dr. King. In a revealing interview this week with CNN's Carol Costello, Ward explained: "I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country's founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history."
Ward has been roundly panned for his reductionistic suggestions about slavery and Dr. King's message, including an immediate rebuttal delivered by his co-panelist Maria Roach of United for Change US, who called Ward's claims "ridiculous." Not to be deterred, Ward appeared Monday on Rev. Al Sharpton's program on MSNBC, where Rev. Sharpton also had some choice words for him. Rev. Sharpton opened his interview with a full-court press on Ward's claims regarding Dr. King's legacy, asking: "You do realize that Martin Luther King was killed by a gun and that he preached all of his life against the use of any weapons and preached turn the other cheek? So you do realize that what you said was the total antithesis to Dr. King?"
Sharpton later added,
Do you understand how despicable it would be to members of his family that saw their father killed by gun fire for you to say that you are in some way continuing his legacy on King weekend by doing 'Gun Appreciation Day,' when he preached against that and died from a bullet wound? Then to say that there wouldn't be slavery if slaves had the right to guns? Slaves didn't have any rights. They didn't have the right to marry; they didn't have the right to name their own children—why would they have rights to guns?But as satisfying as it may be to see legitimate civil rights figures like Rev. Sharpton attempting to set the historical record straight in their conversations with self-serving nutters like Larry Ward, we must recognize that the trend toward conservative cooptation of the civil rights legacy, with its accompanying history, language, and imagery, represents a real and immediate threat to our national memory.
We have previously highlighted some of the ways in which Dr. King's legacy, particularly as it pertains to issues of militarism and poverty, has already been thoroughly watered down or whitewashed entirely from our national narrative. So too, in pushing back against the appalling misremembering of civil rights history displayed by both Nugent and Ward in their attempts to seize the mantle of the civil rights movement for themselves, we are also resisting their attempts to divorce the history of individuals like Rosa Parks and Dr. King from the deeply principled forms of holistic, radical, nonviolent resistance that they practiced. The development of viable theories and practice of nonviolence, particularly those views articulated by Dr. King using the language and imagery of his own deeply held Christian beliefs, are among the greatest tools of resistance to oppression that have been passed down to us from the civil rights era, and contemporary activists cannot allow conservative elements to disengagement of these tools, and the ends to which they were employed, from the legacy of activists like Rosa Parks and Dr. King.
Consider the harm already perpetrated by conservative politicians on the narrative of Ms. Park's legendary refusal to abandon her seat on that bus in Montgomery. Contrary to the suggestions of conservative ideologues like Bill Frist and Mitch McConnell, Rosa Parks was not a lone, spontaneous actor whose singular show of defiance ignited an otherwise dormant movement. By 1955, the year of Parks' now famous act of civil disobedience, Parks and many other civil rights advocates across the South had been trained in the theory and practice of nonviolence at the Highlander School, a racially integrated movement program in Tennessee which would also help train Dr. King, and Parks herself was helping to train other in nonviolent resistance through the NAACP Youth Council. Parks was deeply involved in the movement for civil rights, and had already participated in many similar acts of civil disobedience. And the byword through which she and many others sought to obtain full recognition of their rights was nonviolence.
There is obviously another side to the civil rights story as well, or perhaps one of many other sides, which conservative activists have been much more hesitant to claim as analogous to their current resistance to gun law reform: the history of violent resistance to racial oppression. You may notice that Nugent,Ward, and the other uniformly white pundits who have been stumping against gun reform have never yet compared themselves to any historical liberationist movements undertaken by people of color whose tactics included armed struggle and resistance. As Ira Glasser, former executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, pointed out this week in a letter to the Editor at the New York Times, contemporary advocates against gun reform are engaging in a not-so-subtle whitewashing of our nation's complicated history with gun ownership by framing the concerns of an overwhelmingly white minority of gun owners in terms of the broader rights of all Americans. From Glasser's letter:
Imagine what police departments and the F.B.I. would do if these statements were being made by Muslims in response to government harassment — probably gear up to infiltrate and entrap Muslim groups and perhaps even launch murderous raids against them. That is precisely what happened when young Black Panthers brandished arms during the 1960s. Where were the advocates of the Second Amendment then?The fact is, if firearm proponents like Nugent, Ward, and their ilk were to go down in history for "making a stand" against even the limited, common sense proposals put forward earlier today by President Obama, their stands will probably have a lot more in common with Ruby Ridge and Waco than they will with the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
But as we approach another Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, some remnants of the legacy of Dr. King and the civil rights movement do seem to have endured. Although never commanding as much media attention as their unhinged counterparts who shill for the gun lobby, faith communities - progressive and otherwise - from around the country have emerged at the forefront of the push for reform of our current gun laws. The gun violence working group led by Vice President Biden, which submitted policy proposals to the President ahead of today's press conference, met last week with leaders from Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, and Evangelical and Pentecostal Christian communities, and recent polling has confirmed that a majority of several major faith communities, including Catholics and Evangelical Christians, support for common-sense reforms to gun policy.
The Sunday after the shooting in Newtown, CT, the Very Rev. Gary Hall, Dean of the National Cathedral, exhorted his congregants on the vital importance of renewed efforts to reform our existing gun laws, saying "As followers of Jesus, we have the moral obligation to stand for and with the victims of violence and to work to end it." Followers of Jesus or not, people of faith or not, we are all called to the table as members of what Dr. King referred to as the Beloved Community - that critical mass of holy human goodness in this world which, once reached, will allow us to stamp out violence and tear down the structures that breed it once and for all.
This weekend, we are being asked to choose between standing with the tools of war or standing with a man who gave his life in the struggle to see war finally and forever thrown down. You can stand with Ted Nugent and Larry Ward, or you can stand with Dr. King, Rosa Parks, and the host of departed witnesses who devoted their time on this earth to eradicating the violence which plagues it. But Lord knows you cannot stand with both.

Russell Westbrook is just getting back after a knee injury. Serge Ibaka is in a horrible shooting funk to start the season and James Harden and Kevin Martin have left for bigger roles and bigger paychecks.
Kevin Durant has always shouldered a big load in Oklahoma City. But it's even bigger this season.
The three-time scoring champion is trying to strike a delicate balance early in the season. He says he wants to give the young supporting cast as much room as possible to grow into the roles vacated by Harden and Martin.
But he also wants to win. Durant says he's learning when to take the game over and when to try to get his teammates involved.
The Thunder are 2-1 heading into Wednesday night's game against Dallas.

Host: David Warne SPECIAL CO-HOST ON THIS TOUR Tim Reid (Marketing) |
About the Host:
David Warne, Entrepreneur
Having transformed his business through outsourcing in the Philippines and saving $21,000 per week in just 3 months and growing revenue by 21% in 12 months, David is on a mission to empower other business owners to achieve their dreams.
David founded, built and recently sold Sydney Harbour Tall Ships, an iconic Australian tourism and corporate events business. He understands that business owners want and deserve more from their business - more money, more time, more fun and more freedom. He also understands what is holding them back and his message is simple - "there IS another way." David has vast knowledge and experience in outsourcing and offshoring from an SME's perspective.
Tim Reid
Tim hosts The Small Business Big Marketing Show (Australia's #1 marketing podcast), and is arguably Australia's most practical marketing speaker. He's hugely excited by the fact that there's never been a better time to market a business. Ever!
"Dave's trip is fantastic. What excited me after spending a week here was how diverse this place can be with its beauty, its great food and its beautiful people – my mind has just been blown away about all the things you can do… Every dream that I had as an entrepreneur, I can literally make it come true with the leverage of labour versus money in this economy, it's just amazing… Get on a plane, take the time and come and check this out because it will blow your mind… I think once we set up a team of three, we'll create an offshore business to offset some tax, look within it, 12-18 months, we could save up to half a million dollars quite easily."
Brent Callan-Kerkenezov
Director, Ivy Contractors Roofing Specialists
"You can see what's happening over here with outsourcing. If you're not doing it in Australia, you're at a competitive disadvantage and you're not going to be able to offer your customers the experience that you want to give them… I've always wanted to play big in the business. I really want to play that game and I haven't been able to and coming over here, I can see that's now possible."
Damien Battersby
CEO, Proactive IT Solutions
"It's been an amazing experience for me both professionally and personally… Never did I realize the scale of what's with the possibilities and what's available out here… The tour is very professional, it was action packed the whole time. You're meeting ex-pats, different organisations, outsourcing companies, a whole range of different industries…"
Ryan Fitton
Founder, Punch Buggy Digital Agency
It's a full, rich experience and really working out how to leverage the time that you have. I've always struggled with working way too much and taking on too much, now I have the answers to solve the problems… I can't wait to get back to Australia, implement some of the new resources that I now have access to."
Natalie Wischer
Executive Director, Australian Diabetes Online Services
"Dave and his whole team have just been loving, caring, supportive – really great mentors. And I would suggest that if you really want to improve your business for your families, then you jump on this tour now."
Sean Sullivan
Co-Founder and Director, Betta Box Pty Ltd

On June 28, 2013, the Department of Defense (DoD) published its Performance of the Defense Acquisition System, 2013 Annual Report. The purpose of the annual report was to use objective data and analysis to measure macro-level performance indicators for the defense acquisition system as a whole, particularly Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs). While the annual report discussed multiple acquisition issues, one of its most significant findings related to Undefinitized Contractual Actions (UCAs), which are procurement actions entered into by the head of an agency where the contractual terms, specifications or price are not agreed upon before performance begins.
UCAs have been widely used in large development contracts for a wide range of products and services, including aircraft, missiles, tanks, ships and related components. The annual report stated that UCAs are a concern in development contracts because they correlate with increased contract costs and longer schedules. The DoD's increased focus on UCAs may result in increased scrutiny of these contracting actions in MDAP development-phase procurements.
The DoD typically prefers to avoid UCAs unless there is no alternative for meeting urgent requirements. This may occur when DoD has insufficient time to negotiate a contract to meet its requirements but has an interest in entering a binding commitment with a contractor. Letter contracts and undefinitized orders issued against basic ordering agreements are primary examples of UCAs. The statute authorizing UCAs, 10 U.S.C. § 2326, requires the requesting activity to describe the anticipated effect on a military department's activities if the procurement was delayed for purposes of determining contractual terms, specifications and price before beginning performance.
The statute also precludes a contracting officer from entering into a UCA unless it provides that the missing terms will be settled within 180 days of the start of performance or the obligation of more than 50 percent of the ceiling price of the action. Notably, the limitations can be waived for contingency or humanitarian operation contracts. In addition, the following contracts are also exempt: foreign military sales, simplified acquisitions, special access programs, and congressionally mandated long-lead procurement contracts. Regulations implementing the statute are found at DFARS Subpart 217.74. DoD guidance also requires the contracting officer to identify the risk of using an UCA and the means by which the government will mitigate the associated risk because of missing contract terms.
The annual report's analysis of historical data found that DoD's entry into a UCA, at any time during a development contract, correlated to a more than seven percent increase in contract cost growth, measured across all DoD contracts from 1970-2011. The effect was most pronounced on DoD ship-development contracts, where the annual report found a 41 percent higher cost growth with UCAs, compared to contracts without UCAs. The Navy used UCAs at a rate of 39 percent of MDAP contracts from 1970 through 2011. The annual report found no statistically significant effect of UCAs on contracts for aircraft, missile, munitions or space systems development contracts. Throughout all DoD development contracts, however, the annual report found that UCAs increased development cycle time by increasing schedule growth, generally by "0.3 years or longer."
The annual report found that UCAs did not correlate with total cost growth in early production contracts, as it did with development contracts. In its concluding comments, under the heading "Intelligent acquisition is key," the annual report stated that "UCAs can be successfully employed in early production but are concerns for development work."
The annual report comes after several years of increased scrutiny, regulation and reporting requirements regarding UCAs. The U.S. Government Accountability Office has expressed concern that UCAs pose risks to the taxpayer because contractors reportedly lack incentives to control costs while contract terms and conditions are negotiated and definitized (i.e., agreement is reached on contract terms, specifications and price). GAO also noted that the government faces increased risk of incurring unnecessary costs if requirements change prior to definitization.
Similarly, a report by the DoD Inspector General found that contracting officers were: inconsistently complying with the UCA statute and regulation by, for example, failing to timely definitize UCAs; and inconsistently documenting profit determinations because of the possible reduced cost risk to the contractor.
The annual report provides a relatively high-level critique of UCAs and their effect on contract costs. Its findings, however, may motivate the DoD to scrutinize UCAs more aggressively pursuant to DoD cost-cutting initiatives such as the Better Buying Power directives. It also may promote additional auditing and compliance review of UCAs, particularly in development-phase contracts.

Houston, we're not Kennedy Space Center
Our main reason for being in Houston was to visit the Johnson Space Center (JSC). We arrived at 10am and got a spot right by the entrance, because there were not many people there. We immediately jumped on the site tour. First stop was the actual ground control center used for the 60s to 80s rocket launches. The current ground control center is one floor down. Second stop on the tour was a building where they are developing vehicles and ...
Good old boys
Today I experienced the full force of US traffic - we had been forced to stop on a freeway in a jam for 1 and 1/2 hours. Along the way we ran into a protest. The confederate flag was flying and there were several people milling around the rode - yes this was a Klan thing. I took a snapshot as discretely as possible and grabbed a flyer - photo attached. It was a scary experience. ...
Looking for Whitney - Part 2
... more southern accents on the streets and at breakfast which was Mexican, and spend part of the morning traversing the streets in the Mustang with the top down. I've been looking at the maps at the southern coastline, and a place called Galveston, which sits on the end of a very long peninsular. It's about 50 miles south so perfect for a day trip. I think Jock doesn't get my interest in landscapes and especially interesting coastlines. So after zig zagging around in ...
Houston we have a problem (with the toilet, haha!)
... going to take a week to fix! We considered going back to square one and shopping around for another but anything in this sort of mileage and this late model was twice the price, so we have started to organise the repairs and should get away tomorrow with out a toilet and sort it out later sick of this city!
we are sleeping at the motor home yard their must be 60+ lanes of traffic within 100 meters of us!

Model | RMP-5G |
Class | Assault |
Cost | 23,069,439 C-bills |
Technical specifications | |
Mass | 85 tons |
Chassis | Stanwhich 850 |
Armor | PanzerSlab Type 9 |
Engine | AMC 340 XL |
Speed | 64 km/h (86 km/h with MASC) |
Armament |
The Rampage was a BattleMech produced by the Rim Worlds Republic. The 'Mech was originally built and used as a standard line unit, but it was upgraded to a fast assault 'Mech in 2767, following Stefan Amaris' successful coup that installed him as the nominal leader of the Terran Hegemony.[2] With the occupation of Star League R&D facilities, his Periphery nation was finally able to produce the SLDF's advanced weaponry.[3]
The Rampage's upgrade utilized Endo Steel and an XL Engine to save weight. As engineers debated the best way to make the Rampage faster, they settled on installing the new MASC system, which accelerates the 85-ton 'Mech to 86 km/h in bursts. While its speed gives it a measure of protection, the design also sports a massive sixteen tons of PanzerSlab 9 armor.[3][1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The primary weapon of the Rampage is the Luballin LB-X Autocannon/10. Two tons of ammunition allow it to switch between standard and cluster shots. It also has an array of lasers, namely the Tronel XIII Large Pulse Laser housed in its chest, and two Maxell DT Medium Lasers, one on each side of the pulse laser. In addition to the autocannon for long-range fire, the Rampage has an Artemis IV Fire Control System-guided Jackson Dart LRM-10 launcher with a single ton of ammo. To strengthen its short range firepower, three Marklin Mini Streak SRM-2 launchers are bundled together in the left torso with a ton of ammo to share between them. For defense against missiles, the Rampage mounts a Buzzsaw Anti-Missile System. Against infantry, a Zippo Mark X Anti-Personnel Flamer is installed; a popular piece of equipment for the Rim Worlds' civilian pacification efforts. Thirteen double heat sinks keeps heat levels in check.[3][1]
- The original version of the Rampage was introduced in 2735 and produced for decades prior to introduction of the Star League-enhanced RMP-5G. The 'Mech has a top speed of 54 km/h. It is equipped with an Autocannon/10, LRM-10, two Medium Lasers, a Large Laser, one Flamer, and a Machine Gun with a full ton of ammo. This decidedly low-tech version lacked the weight saving components of the 5G and used single heat sinks, though an additional ten heat sinks kept the 2G quite cool.[1] BV (2.0) = 1,444[4]
- Introduced in 2750 and built in limited numbers prior to introduction of 5G, the 4G Rampage was similar to the -5G upgrade. It lacked the missile launchers and one Medium Laser, but added a Gauss Rifle for concentrated long-range fire. This required the minimum amount of double heat sinks and slightly less armor.[3] BV (2.0) = 2,020[5]
Custom Variants[edit]
- RMP-4G Rampage Benbaoudaoud
- This Rampage model was the personal 'Mech of General Viktoria Benboudaoud, commander of the Rim Worlds Republic forces on New Dallas.[6] Based on the 5G chassis, this custom refit replaced the missile launchers and MASC of the 5G with a single SRM-4 and a single LRM-20. The rest of the armament, armor, and performance remains the same as the 5G. BV(2.0)=1,751[7]

A story? Well, alright then.
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Bea. She had met and married the man of her dreams, but they couldn't make a baby together.
That's so sad.
It is sad.
What did they do?
What didn't they do? In the end, after they'd talked and talked, they decided to go to a doctor. The doctor said he could make them a baby, one way or another.
And did he?
Well, it was hard. Months went by. First, Bea got sick, then she ovulated irregularly, and when she did, the little embryo failed to implant. Even Mr Bea started to wonder if it was ever going to happen. He started to seem scared, and that made Bea scared, too.
So then what happened?
They kept trying, of course. And one day, just as they thought all hope was lost, what do you know? They fell pregnant. And do you know what happened then?
No, what?
They had a baby, and lived happily ever after. But that's a story for another time.
Goodnight, Bea.
Thanks. Night night.

Phew. Well, I'm feeling better now. I wouldn't say good, but... well.
One of the things I feel better about is the whole friends/social/worn out thing. Listening to what's been said out there on the subject, (Nobs, Meg, Vee, Richard...) has helped enormously, and for that I thank you all.
I have a couple of good friends. I think I've been underestimating them.
And feeling tired? Well - maybe our fertility specialist can tell us a good bedtime story on Monday.

Actually, just everyone who commented here said stuff which meant a lot to me. And StellaNova also had a great post which made me think about relationships and all that.

That's why we hang out in blogland, so we can give each other strength and remind each other that we are not alone. And all these fears and feelings are real.
I hope your fertility specialist's story ends with "lives happily ever after."
Good to hear you are feeling better.
Sweet dreams, Bea. - 10:47 pm

Oh, Amen to that story. Amen with all my heart.

I can't wait to hear the REAL version of that story. The one where we get to know the happy ever after ending and we all sit tucked up in our warm and comfy beds.
One day, it will be true and one day you will tell it and one day you will be glad you kept trying.
I hope Monday brings good news. - 5:28 pm

Bea, why do I always leave your blog crying?
And then..
Well... then I don't know how to say thank you.

Hmmm, this is a story a lot of us know quite well. Here's hoping all of our endings will be "and they lived happily ever after".

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Islamic extremists attack Mutur journalist's home[TamilNet, Wednesday, 26 June 2002, 11:36 GMT]Armed persons said to be members of an extremist Islamic militant group attacked the home of Tamil journalist, Mr. P. Satsivanantham, in Mutur town Wednesday afternoon, causing considerable damage to equipment and property, Sri Lanka Police sources said. Hundreds of Tamils in Mutur sought refuge in the local Church as armed gangs of an Islamic group calling itself 'Osama Front' went on rampage through the eastern town Wednesday morning, attacking houses in the Tamil neighbourhoods of the eastern town. The Islamic extremists attacked an orphanage run by the journalist. The children here have sought refuge in St. Anthonys Church, Rev. Saanthan Emmanuel, the parish priest said. The attack on Mr. Satsivanantham was connected to a report by the journalist to the BBCs Tamil service, broadcast Tuesday night, Mr. A. Nadesan, the Vice President of the East Lanka Journalists Association, said. We wish to draw attention to the fact that another Tamil journalist, Mr. S. Jeyanandamoorty, was also threatened by an Islamic extremist group, Mr. Nadesan added.

The Norwegian head of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission in Trincomalee Ms Victoria Lund rushed to Mutur Wednesday morning accompanied by Jordanian monitor Abdul Fattah to see the situation, SLMM sources said. Muttur was put under a day and night curfew Tuesday by the Police when violence erupted in Mutur. south to a village . The march by the Tamils from the village of Pachchanoor in Mutur south to protest against the attack on the Liberation Tigers political activists at Velanai in Jaffna district by the navy personnel and the attack on LTTE's political office in Mutur provoked the violence, sources said. Several persons were wounded during yesterday's attacks.

I just love the 3 colours in this. I own quite a few different L'Oreal eyeshadows and I have to point out I don't find this eyeshadow as soft as my other L'Oreal shadows. Application is still quite good, and the colours have decent pigmentation. There is some shimmer (not glitter) but it's not over the top. This is great for traveling or to keep in your purse as it's so compact. I really love the packaging of this.. Especially the really cute hidden applicator. I personally think this would look great on all skin tones and all eye colours. If you're after a plum eyeshadow, this is worth checking out.

On the back of this circular trio tub, L'Oreal tell me this mauve/plum/neutral dial of shadows is for green eyes. I'm not sure why L'Oreal insists on narrowing the audience for each product, but I pay zero attention to such prescriptive idiocy. Sure, the plum in these shadows will make green eyes pop, but it also makes my blue eyes look dark and navy in colour - a pleasing pairing with my blond hair and fair warm skin, and I bet brown eyes would look glorious with this trio too - nutty and golden.
The texture of these shadows is quite soft - not to the level of my favourites by Urban Decay or Guerlain, but better than Revlon, Estee Lauder and Elizabeth Arden. The pigment is strong, and not too shimmery, which can be an issue with L'Oreal's trios and quads. There is a small amount of glitter, but it's subtle enough for this to be appropriate for work and for the more mature lid.
One can achieve a neutral-warm plummy look with this - something polished and un-bruised. I also like it to warm up or add interest to a smoky eye, and the best bit is that it doesn't irritate me like some shadows can.
