Good Nightstand for the Price
BigSky from MT– Verified Buyer
Bought two nightstands and the matching headboard for a guest room. The price and quality are fitting for a spare room that is used rarely rather than on a daily basis. First nightstand assembled easily, 35 minutes. The second night stand was beat up and a bit scratched, seemed like they came from two different factories. The second stand should have been considered a clearance item. But we worked with it, put the scratched feet to the back and the nicked edge towards the wall to hide it. One of the glide brackets for the drawer was mounted 1/8" off which made the drawer face crooked. And the drawer face had a pre-drilled hole bigger than the screw so it couldn't grab. After adjusting the bracket and drilling a new pilot hole for a screw, the drawer fits correctly.
Beautiful piece of furniture!
Cynthia from Grass Valley, CA– Verified Buyer
I bought this for my guest room where it matches the white window trim and other furniture in the room. I was able to assemble this in just over one hour while my husband was at work! Be sure to read the directions carefully so you don't miss a step like I did when I forgot to put the four dowels in that connect the top to the base. (along with screws that I did not forget) It came apart to insert the dowels and went back together quickly so all was okay!
Like it so much, that I ordered two more !
Sandra from Plymouth, WI
Originally ordered this for a guest room to match the Bermuda queen headboard. We like it so much, that we got two more for our master bedroom. Taller than some bedside tables, which was good as we have a somewhat high bed. Just the right amount of space for a lamp, and other accessories without taking up a lot of the room. I like the tall bun feet , as it gives it a lighter airier feel. The price was awesome and they are NOT lightweight junk!
Catherine from Winter Park, FL– Verified Buyer
Looks great and very easy to assemble - my husband put together two of them in less than 30 min. (and he doesn't put together furniture very often:)) Bermuda nightstand would complement any beach/tropical theme bedroom, it is a good quality piece,big enough to set a large lamp and a tissue holder and still has sprite a bit of space left, but has a light accent look and doesn't overwhelm the decor. Love it:)
Great little nightstand
Leslie from Daleville, AL– Verified Buyer
It was surprisingly easy to assemble! Overall, I really like it, epsecially for the price! The drawer slides easily and the storage nook is perfect for a basket. I bought it to complement a white bedroom set and although this nightstand is white, it is not bright white. I placed the nightstand on one side of the my bed and the existing white dresser on the other and when the two pieces are not side by side you cannot notice a colorbrightness difference. I even swaped the provided knob for a drawer pull that I got at Lowes to make the nightstand hardware match the drawer pulls on my existing dresser. Now it looks like it was always part of my bedroom set.
Functions well; looks good.
Katherine from Peoria, AZ– Verified Buyer
I had very specific requirements for two bedside tables (one drawer, open shelf, 28" and not tacky looking) and this model fit the bill. I got them on sale and, with free shipping it was a good deal. I wish there were more color options. I bought the mahogany look. However, the assembly was VERY time consuming... In future I will look for simple decorative items on Wayfair and try to avoid furniture assembly. Otherwise, great experience.
Lovely, sturdy nightstand!
Karena from Arvada, CO– Verified Buyer
I bought this as a second nightstand for our master bedroom; we already had one white nightstand, and I didn't want to match it, just coordinate. The rustic finish is well-done, it went together very easily (I put it together with the help of my 8 year old daughter in about 20 minutes), and it is very sturdy. The drawer front even adjusts so you can make sure it is centered and level in the drawer opening. I am very impressed in the quality for this price point!
Cute nightstand
Glenn from sag harbor, NY– Verified Buyer
We ordered the bed, dresser and two night stands from this group for a second home. We love the coastal look. We had someone put it together for us and when we arrived, we noticed the drawer of this one nightstand does not close properly so your eye is drawn immediately to it. This makes it look somewhat messy. We are hoping we can find a fix on our next visit. So, the look is good and it's fine for a second home but maybe not the highest quality.
Nightstands in espresso
Carol from Kelowna, BC– Verified Buyer
They were absolutly perfect. As soon as I saw them I knew they would be. The look was just right. The size was good and the colour matched what I all ready have. The price turn out to be better than I expected. I got a really good discount, and no shipping. Can't get better than that. Was a good deal.
Amy from Illinois– Verified Buyer
Cute and functional! We purchased two of the stands to go next to a little computer cabinet (by the same manufacturer). Unfortunately, the cabinet didn't work out at all but the stands were fantastic! Love the look and design. They were very easy to put together and seem to be a good quality little piece of furniture.

Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly Eyeing Reunion With Adam McKay for 'Border Guards'
Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and Adam McKay -- the trio that worked so well for Step Brothers and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby -- is looking to reunite for Sony's comedy Border Guards.
Sony has tapped British writer Jesse Armstrong to write the script for the project, which centers on two friends who are dedicated to protecting the U.S. border from illegal immigration.
While no deals have been set, McKay is eyeing the comedy as a directorial project, with Ferrell and Reilly in mind to star.
PHOTOS: 'Anchorman 2' Promotional Blitz: Will Ferrell's Many Appearances as Ron Burgundy
Ferrell, McKay, and Kevin Messick will produce through Gary Sanchez Productions. Michael De Luca and Jonathan Kadin will oversee for Columbia Pictures.
McKay directed both 2006's Talladega Nights and 2008's Step Brothers, which both starred Ferrell and Reilly. Talladega Nights earned $163 million worldwide, and Step Brothers took in $128 million worldwide.
Ferrell, who most recently starred in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, is repped by CAA and Mosaic. Next appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, Reilly is repped by WME and Peg Donegan.
Armstrong, repped by CAA, created Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show with his writing partner Sam Bain. They most recently created the Channel 4 comedy Fresh Meat and the Danny Boyle-helmed TV series Babylon. Armstrong and Bain were nominated for an best adapted screenplay Oscar for In the Loop in 2009.

Nice work, Japan. Hats off to Sony Japan. I love this. And such a nice fit.

I'm wondering how far can we go before having trouble with "not-nice-things" in games ?
Assuming -- based on the fact that you introduced yourself as having "a sick and twisted mind" -- that you wouldn't censor yourself for ethical or moral reasons, there are three main limiting factors that might impact how far you can push things and what sort of "trouble" you might attract:
- Legal restrictions. Certain types of content are either outright illegal, or are tightly controlled. Depending on the type of content you might risk fines or jail time, you might find yourself unable to sell an uncensored version of your product, or you may be required to comply with strict licencing terms. You will need to obey your local laws, and potentially laws in any place your game might be distributed.
- Offensive content may appeal to a smaller niche audience and may be a turn off the mainstream. This may limit the potential income of your product, and unless you're willing to make a loss will therefore also limit how much you can spend on developing the product.
- Sufficiently offensive content -- where sufficiently is completely arbitrary depending on the audience -- may also result in offended parties taking you to court or attempting to disrupt sale of your product. This may result in legal expenses and may result in distributors that are legally allowed to carry your product may still choose not to do so if they feel it would cause customers to boycott.
As Tom says above, it's all about exactly how much risk you're willing to take and what sort of "trouble" you consider to be a deterrent.

Global Apartheid
Perhaps more than any other manifestation of global apartheid, the AIDS pandemic exposes the fact that the distribution of current suffering associated with global inequality, as in the past five centuries, is clearly linked to place and race. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), forty-four of the fifty-two countries with life expectancies of less than fifty years are in Africa (with life expectancies still declining due to AIDS). The glacial pace of the international response to AIDS reflects an entrenched double standard characteristic of the apartheid system. As Dr. Peter Piot of UNAIDS remarked just before the World AIDS conference in South Africa last year, "If this had happened with white people, the reaction would have been different."
Health is one of the fundamental human rights embodied in the 1946 constitution of the WHO and the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Specifically, the WHO constitution says, "The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition." Article 25 of the Universal Declaration states that "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services." As even mainstream economists increasingly recognize, health is one of the fundamental prerequisites for development. Along with education and income, it is one of the three components of the UN's Human Development Index, which has gained wide acceptance in theory, if not in practice, as a better benchmark than purely economic indicators like per capita income. In fact, health is the human right that in practice most visibly marks distinctions of race, or of economic or social condition.
Whether governments and international organizations actually have an obligation to enforce this right is hotly disputed. The Bush Administration, following in the steps of its predecessors, stressed in its March 30 response to the UN's draft declaration on AIDS that "for legal and constitutional reasons, the United States cannot accept a 'rights based approach' to HIV/AIDS--any more than it can accept a rights based approach to food, shelter or hunger." At the UN High Commission on Human Rights in April, the United States alone abstained on an otherwise unanimously supported Brazilian resolution recognizing "that access to medication in the context of pandemics such as HIV/AIDS is one fundamental element...of the right... to health."
The scale of the AIDS pandemic is unprecedented. But AIDS is like other widespread diseases in that it is fueled not only by unequal access to medical care but also by social and economic conditions. Poverty and gender inequality fuel the pandemic in Africa. Malnutrition reduces resistance to disease. Migrant labor patterns (well entrenched in Africa from colonialism and apartheid) raise the risk of infection. The proximate cause of the spread of AIDS is HIV, but vulnerability to infection is linked not only to behavior but especially to unequal power relations between women and men, and to poverty and living conditions [see Eileen Stillwaggon, "AIDS and Poverty in Africa," May 21]. Poverty, in turn, is linked to race and to the structural position of communities within countries and of countries within the world economy.
Thus debating what is to be done about AIDS keeps leading back to broader issues. Unless women have the freedom to negotiate the terms of sex, increased awareness and availability of condoms will have only limited impact. Health services deprived of basic resources will be unable to meet the need for treatment or prevention of AIDS. Meeting in Abuja, Nigeria, in April, African leaders agreed on a target of spending at least 15 percent of their national budgets on health, two or three times the current levels. But their chances of meeting this target are slim if they are forced to give priority to paying illegitimate foreign debts over making investments in public health (or if they choose to divert resources to war or personal gain).
Some cite such factors as excuses for inaction. Even as prices of antiretroviral drugs drop in response to protest and generic competition, the lack of health infrastructure and the inability of governments to pay even the reduced prices become new rationales for denying antiretroviral treatment to Africans. As one unidentified international health official told the Washington Post on April 23, while deploring the political stance of activists, "We may have to sit by and just see these millions of people die."
The alternate response is to address the reasons for lack of infrastructure and inability to pay. That leads back to policies imposed by international financial institutions in the 1980s and 1990s and, in a longer view, to harsh historical legacies that policy-makers still refuse to confront. Granted, corruption and policy mistakes by African leaders also play a role. But in Africa and in other developing regions, unsustainable debt and weakened health systems result in large part from economic policy conditions imposed by international creditors during the past two decades. The imposition of "user fees" for primary healthcare, for example, drove large numbers away from public health services, contributing to increased rates of sexually transmitted diseases. More generally, cutbacks in the public sector helped send health professionals to the private sector or abroad and reduced investments in healthcare delivery systems. Creditors representing a collective economic colonialism managed by the World Bank and IMF increasingly dictated public health and other policies of poor countries. Debt provided the leverage to enforce the economic diktat of global apartheid by the rich upon the poor.

A good place for locals or anyone traveling through in the cooler months. Not a destination by any means though.
This is actually a ginormous area. The cliff band goes for miles and miles, with literally thousands of problems possible. Most problems are dead vertical technical face climbs or sharp cracks. My favorite problems are the aretes. There are also some very good roof problems where the cliff band has been undercut. The cliff band ranges from 12-25 feet high, making some problems quite highball.
The key is finding problems with flat landings. Otherwise, a tumble will leave you rolling 1,000 feet to the San Juan River.
My best recommendation for the first time visitor is not the cliff band below the visitor parking lot, as described in the area description. The landings there are not that great and the concentration of problems lower than other areas.
Instead, follow the two-track road that heads south east. Take this road for about 3/4 of a mile to the very end of the point. Here there's an easy route down through the cliff band and many problems with nice flat landings. The view is excellent and you'll also be away from the tourists. Right here at the point there are some really fantastic arete problems on immaculate, grey limestone.

I just took these pictures today in my mom garden
I wanted to share some of my mom amaryllis. The white ones are blooming. The red ones are just starting.
I think this is a Nehrling hybrid, many of his varieties are made using H. vittatum as a primary. It's obvious that this is another A.) H. vittatum hybrid OR B.) This is in fact H. vittatum specie!
*BTW, it's very beautiful* It should be scented?!
Well, supaflyz, you certainly woke everybody up with those pictures..just looked again..just lovely!! Make sure.. if your Mom ever moves, that you dig those up!!!!
Make sure you post your red ones when they bloom also, I've got a sneaky suspicion those will be something special too.
Sorry guys I don't know the name of this particular plant. These were giving to my mom from a lady that lives close to the house. She gave us only one bulb, but now it's all cluster in. She gave us 3 other types. One is all red and tiny star shape. The other red type is huge. Its bigger than my hand. The other one that I added picture today is the common kind, I think. This particular one give rise to many baby bulbs.
I wouldn't exactly call these common, these are lovely too! Please keep the pictures comming and..please sniff all of your flowers as they bloom to see if there is any fragrance...
Thanks for posting all your Mom's lovely blooms...and we're all so glad you are enjoying them too!
Here are the other ones that my mom has. She has a few other kinds on the ground, but they never bloom. Guess what I found under the plants. I was watering the plants, and some of the water got on this moth. I didn't even see the moth until I was looking towards the ground. Its wings got wet.
Your orange is lovely, looks like my Naranja..your small red and white striped one I think someone here will ID that for you..I have my thoughts but since I don't have one I'm not sure..I do hope your butterfly/moth recovered from his bath and flew away...
Thanks for posting..I enjoy them all especially the very first one..!
I Have managed to Salvage several bulbs from Both white and red St. Josephs and I'm not sure what to do with them! Are they so rare that I can make a little money on them? I have at least 25 very large heirloom bulbs and 40 babies. If anyone is interested in buying one Just shoot m an offer or I would love an awesome trade. I am putting them down tomorrow because they are in full bloom and i'm hoping they won't shock. Any input would be great! Thanks in advance.
Wow - that white one is stunning! Very spectacular. I also agree that the red and white striped one is xjohnsonii. Looks just like mine. It should be very fragrant.
Chuck, the true johnsonii is valuable, mostly because they almost never set seed, so the only way to get them is by getting offsets. Your image is too blurry for me to see properly. But I'm sure you could find a great trade. The plant trade forum on gardenweb is great - just post what you have and what you are looking for. Or I'm sure you could sell on ebay.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures - I love seeing garden heirlooms!

Dealing with a Data Breach A Proactive Approach Muzaffar I. Chaudhary CISA, CISSP 05/04/11 Agenda I. Background II. GA Data Breach Law III. Regulatory Requirements IV. A Data Breach Scenario V. Data Breach Response Strategy VI. Q&A Hackers Landscape • Today's hackers are organized, motivated, and sophisticated. Data and identity theft is no longer for amateurs. • Hackers work on behalf of state sponsored or criminal organizations, have access to state-of-the-art tools, and know how to target specific organizations for information that can be used for financial gain. Is your Organization Immune to Data Breach ? • 340 million records containing personal information have been breached in US since 2005 (Privacy Rights Clearing House) • 85 % of businesses have experienced a data breach (2009 Ponemon Institute data breach study) • 50 % of large hospitals experienced at least one data breach in 2009. ( Source: HIMSS) Some Massive Data Breaches February 2007, information on possibly tens of millions of credit and debit cards. Credit card information for more than 250,000 businesses in 2009 – 130 million records Contractor recycled Disks without erasing – leaving the personal information for millions of veterans accessible to whoever got the disc. In February 2008, Bank of New York Mellon sent 10 unencrypted backup tapes to a storage facility and lost one tape during the transit. Most Recent Breaches • 08-19- 2010 University of Connecticut 10,174 student applications with SSN, NAA stolen • 08-19- 2010 University of Kentucky 2,027 patient names, medical record numbers, date of birth, diagnosis, SSN breached • 08-20- 2010 Cook County Health & Hospitals System 7,000 patient names, birth dates, and some SSN stolen Source: datalossdb.org Reported Incidents to date Source: datalossdb.org PII Data Breach - 2010 yearly report Total Incidents: 470 Total Records Affected: 13,996,783 ? Source: datalossdb.org Data Breach Readiness When it comes to a data breach, the question is not" if" you will become a target, the question is "when." Operational pre-planning and readiness can control costs, improve customer loyalty and preserve your reputation and brand. Georgia Breach Law The law requires that "Any information broker that maintains computerized data that includes personal information of individuals shall give notice of any breach of the security of the system following discovery or notification of the breach in the security of the data to any resident of this state whose unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person." Regulatory Requirements (PCI, HIPAA..) 1. Isolate the breach- for Forensics 2. Inform necessary parties – Law enforcement etc. 3. Notify your business partners (e.g. Bank) 4. Incident Response Report PCI Incident Response Requirements Requirement 12.9: 12.9.1: Create an incident response plan 12.9.2: Test the plan at least annually 12.9.3: Designate specific personnel to be available on a 24/7 basis to respond to incidents 12.9.4: Provide appropriate training to staff with security breach response responsibilities 12.9.5: Include alerts from IDS, IPS and file integrity monitoring systems 12.9.6: Develop processes to modify and evolve the IR plan according to lessons learned A Data Breach Scenario (hypothetical) Credit card data is compromised at the Airport. The DOA has to notify the effected customers according to "GA Breach Law Notification". The Executive Management at DOA has asked the Public Relations, Information Security Officer and DOA's Attorney to do the following: • A press release to the media for the incident • A posting on DOA Website for the incident • Letter to the effected customers whose credit card information have been compromised A Perfect Storm This breach event may become ultimate nightmare, a "perfect storm" if: • DOA Customers learned of the breach via sensationalized media reports. • DOA was obliged to make public statements in the absence of necessary facts. • Card Issuers had to act quickly, with little information, to notify customers and determine if cards should be closed and new cards be re-issued. Data Breach Response Strategy • Inventory of data and information systems is essential to a successful security program. • Data Steering Committee (An Event Response Team) consisting of key executives and personnel from areas of the business that would be affected by a data breach. • A Risk Assessment and Response Matrix that guides your team in determining how harmful a particular breach event would be and how you should respond to it. • A Communication Plan designed to control outbound messaging related to the event and to maintain public confidence Building Your Data Steering Committee/ Event Response Team • Audit and compliance • Representatives from all customer-facing groups • Human resources • Key executives and senior decision-makers • Legal • Marketing and Public Relations • Operations/information technology • Risk management and Information security Creating Your Risk Assessment and Response Matrix Source: First Data Corporation A Solid Communication Plan • When a breach is contained, announce what you know when you know it. • If there are things you do not yet know—perpetrator, details of attack etc. Avoid spreading misinformation that you will eventually have to correct or retract. • Explain why you cannot reveal certain information. • Describe, in specific detail if possible, what you are doing and why you are doing it. • Be honest, above all else. Your customers and partners will appreciate it. Bad-News Management Plan • Prepare for the worst by envisioning the best • Go from start to finish in words and pictures • Do a dry run • Establish leadership contingencies • Coach and train spokespeople •Know where everybody is and how to contact him/her Notification Templates • Outlines and content for – Press Releases – Notification Letters – Incident Specific Website – Incident Response FAQs – Hotline (FAQs serve as a script for call-takers) • Sample language from actual incidents • Food for thought – one size does not fit all Press Release Components • What are you doing? – Announcing a breach? A theft? – Announcing that the case has been resolved? That notification has occurred? • Who is affected/not affected? • What specific types of personal information are involved? • What are the (brief) details of the incident? • "No evidence to indicate data has been misused…" or what the evidence points to. • Expression of regret and concrete steps the institution is taking to prevent this from happening again. • For more information, … Sample Snippets – Who is Affected/Not Affected • The server contained credit card information, including names and credit/ debit cards numbers, of parking customers • The server contained personal information, including names and Social Security numbers, on current, former and employees. • Laptop computers were not breached, and, at this time, company officials believe that [population] were not affected.

Please look at image above. From FBX I've read the texture map that has this image and uses UVs, I know their ranges. FBX texture scales are 1.0 and translation is 0.0. Please tell me how the texture should be mapped? Or, in other words, how to calc what pixel corresponds to a vertex? IMO there are not enough data, that's what I'm looking for.
There's no point in assigning texture coordinates to a texture

$99 Game Console Ouya Aims To Take Down Barriers To Fans
Originally published on Thu June 27, 2013 12:37 pm
Sony and Microsoft are preparing to launch their latest gaming consoles this fall with price tags from $400 for the PlayStation 4 and $500 for the Xbox One. But this week, a $99 game console went on sale and sold out at Target and Amazon.
The Ouya was designed to break down barriers between game developers and game fans, and its launchpad came from those communities, which supported it to the tune of $8.6 million on Kickstarter.
The console was the idea of Julie Uhrman. "The O in Ouya stands for openness," she says. "U is for universal and the YA just completed it. Ouya sounds good to say."
Uhrman gets passionate as she talks about bringing openness and universality to the way people buy and sell games. On a console like the Xbox or PlayStation, people have to spend $60 to buy a game they haven't played. The Ouya lets gamers try it for free, and game developers can decide on a price.
"The developers have total freedom on how they want to monetize that content. So it could be a free demo, and then you can unlock the full version of the game for $19," Uhrman says.
The Ouya is a box the size of a Rubik's Cube made of aluminum and plastic. It comes with one game controller; you can buy additional controllers for $50 each.
Uhrman says she got inspired to build the Ouya because big console games like Call of Duty or Madden NFL cost tens of millions of dollars to make.
"Very few developers can do that, in fact, and you can see that because you don't see a lot of new content," she says.
So, instead of making games for consoles and TVs, a lot of developers limit themselves to mobile phones and tablets. The Ouya launched with more than 135 games, and the Ouya game store works like Apple's app store. Ouya gets a 30 percent cut, and the game maker gets 70 percent.
But its graphics don't hold a candle to the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, and when Sony and Microsoft release their new consoles this fall, they'll look even better. But for a lot of gamers, $99 for the Ouya may be about the right price to pay to scratch that itch to play games.

Aragon originated from the research of Charles Sawyers, a physician-scientist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. The estrogen receptor program was produced by Aragon's own research, Cleveland said.
Aragon was founded in San Diego because of the region's "deep bench of science talent that is willing to take risks on early-stage companies," Cleveland said.
The purchase is the largest acquisition of a biotech company in San Diego County since the $13.6 billion sale of Carlsbad-based Life Technologies to Thermo Fisher, announced April 15.
However, the two companies are quite different. Life Technologies is a well-established, publicly traded company with thousands of products on the market. Privately held Aragon was founded in 2009 and has no products for sale. Aragon's value lies in its technology, and particularly in the potential of ARN-509.
"The patent for Zytiga expires at the end of 2016 in the U.S.," Derrick Sung, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein, said in a note to clients Monday. "ARN-509 would serve the purpose of both extending the longevity of J&J's prostate cancer franchise as well as providing a potentially complementary therapy to Zytiga."
Johnson & Johnson is counting on that potential with the two-drug combo, said Kellie McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the company's oncology division.
"We think they have complementary mechanisms of action and could be used sequentially or in combination," McLaughlin said. Zytiga is approved for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, before or after they've had chemotherapy.
Moreover, ARN-509 could be useful in treating early-stage prostate cancer, McLaughlin said.
Aragon has been financed by a group of venture capital firms, including venBio, based in San Francisco; Topspin Fund, of Roslyn Heights, N.Y.; Aisling Capital, of New York City; OrbiMed Advisors, of New York City; and The Column Group, based in San Francisco.

Activists: Syria government forces killed detainees in Idlib
BEIRUT (AP) -- Activists say members of a Syrian security agency killed more than a dozen detainees before evacuating a detention center in a northwestern city captured by opposition fighters.
The activists said the killings were conducted shortly before rebels took the so-called security compound in Idlib, the second major city to have been seized by the opposition.
The Idlib Media Center showed a video of what it said were at least 12 bloodied bodies inside a room at the Military Intelligence Directorate.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Sunday that 15 men were found shot dead inside the compound.
Islamic fighters led by al-Qaida's branch in Syria seized full control of Idlib on Saturday in a powerful blow to President Bashar Assad, whose forces rapidly collapsed.

"Dry Insights in to the Space Program"
I was hoping to love this book and it does give an interesting inside look at many aspects of the Mercury and Apollo missions, but what made Gene Kranz a great Nasa mission controller does not make him an engaging author.
The stories are full of interesting facts, but there is little-to-no drama in the writing, even when recounting the most dramatic of events, such as the Apollo 13 mission. All NASA folk seem to be well trained in handling the media. Everything is upbeat, succinct and politically correct. This is very important to NASA's success, but this mind-set has carried in to this book. So it is rather unemotional and dry.
Worth a listen for NASA fans, but certainly not enthralling.
By the way it is clear that Gene Kranz was a vital player in the space program's success and I think we should all be grateful to him.
"Replace Prince with the word Politician..."
Impressive observations on human nature, and political dynamics. Most of which are still relevant today if you substitute the word Politician for Prince and take conquest to be a metaphor for political or economic conquest.
I listened to the book for its historical significance rather than the content itself. I was expecting a more diabolical book given Machiavelli's reputation, but after making allowances for the period in which it was written it seemed like good advice for aspiring leaders of the time.
The narration is good, reflects a certain classicism, but at times was a little storybookish and wooden for me.
Overall a valuable read/listen.
"Good Introduction To Malware Concepts"
Well written and at times gripping account of a team of good-guy techies trying to defend the internet from a fast spreading virus whose dangers are unknown.
I am listening to a series of books on computer viruses/malware and I read in a review that this book was a good primer on the subject. I agree. Informative and enjoyable listen.
Solid, classy narration by Christopher Lane.
Next up for me, Countdown to Zero Day, then Kingpin. Yay for techie books!
"Almost Black Humor"
Extremely well written, thoroughly informative and often utterly hilarious.
I understand that sounds weird to say, given that it is a book of nuclear disasters (and I do feel uneasy saying it), but the way in which these stories are told, and the fact that that most of these disasters seems to be down to a human being having a Laurel and Hardy moment with one of humanity's most dangerous scientific discovery turns out to be quite effective at tickling my funny bone.
I came away thinking that if we could just learn to harness this genie in a bottle it would solve all our energy needs. But I know I wouldn't want to live near something that is a human blunder away from "prompt critical".
Thoroughly recommended.
"Short and Serious"
The Jerk is one of my favorite films and I've enjoyed many of his other films, but Steve Martin strikes me as a man who is somewhat embarrassed by his best work and wants to be taken much more seriously.
In the book we learn that his father seemed uncomfortable with his son's less than cerebral visual comedy and perhaps thats why Mr. Martin seems to overcompensate in interviews and in this short autobiography. Whilst there is much of interest for those looking for an inside view of the world of stand-up comedy, there is also much dry and serious analysis of how philosophy, art and cultural forces informed the many average jokes he proceeds to recite (out of character).
To me Steve Martin was funny mostly for the characters he created and his physical performance. Not for his word-play, stories, or zingers.
Not once did I guffaw, nor even chortle. This is not a funny book. Extracting jokes from their context and discussing them, sap all of the magic and joy from them.
I did smile once in a while reflecting on the comedy-acting masterpieces captured in The Jerk and on SNL. But it seems Mr. Martin is determined to demonstrate his intellectual chops rather than entertain his readers.
I still love him for giving me some of the funniest moments of movie/television magic I have known.
"Is There No Way Out?"
This audiobook is now in my top 5!
I'm pretty well versed with World War 2 from the European perspective and somewhat familiar with the US parts of the war in the Pacific, but this was my first exposure to the Australian perspective.
One of the great things about this book is how well written it is. The author zooms in to heart-wrenching accounts of individual experiences and the costs of war, zooms out to the international politics of the allied forces, and then back in again to the tactical decision making of the officers. All done effortlessly and captivatingly.
Narrator has a clear, solid voice and deliver the material effortlessly. I am very pleased the narrator is Australian. This is such a quintessentially Australian story with quintessentially Australian characters. Nothing else would do.
There were a great many. A few examples....
The pastor who decided to bury a killed soldier in mid combat as the bullets flew, and that both sides stopped and waited until he had completed his task.
The brothers singing together in camp, with one trying to shake off the sick feeling that his brother would soon be dead.
The soldier who after being shot badly in the belly, asks himself "Is this real, am I really going to die? Is there no way out?".
You'd be a fool to pass this one up!
"Solid Accounts, Lacks Inspiration"
Walter Isaacson is, in my experience a pretty rigorous biographer and I suppose techno-historian. I have read (listened) to other works of his including Steve Jobs.
However, I find there is always a little something missing. The magic, the excitement, the passion. The moments of discovery. The colliding personalities. So much grist for engaging your readership. But alas, such books are not the author's style.
Certainly interesting and worth the read, but as a big fan of "Entrepreneur" stories like Masters of Doom, iWoz, I'm Feeling Lucky, this book leaves me a little underwhelmed.
A good account of an amazing period in human history, but know what your getting.
"Nuggets of Usefulness"
Given the condescending and overly simplistic tone of pretty much every American TV news person, I was a bit worried this book would be a well polished empty vessel. However, I trusted the Audible community's reviews and was well rewarded.
Dan Harris the author is more honest, open and relatable than I expected and whilst his journey of discovery may be more a narrative tool than absolute truth, his tale of "contemporary mindset meets ancient wisdoms" connected with me.
I found myself writing down factoids and quotes and have (a month or so on) found I still mentally refer to bits and pieces and am continuing to meditate.
Nicely done Dan Harris for turning a professional nightmare in to a teachable moment.
Thanks also for not promising the world as so many self-help books do. 10% happier and gaining.
That works for me!
"Not Marcus Tullius Cicero"
Just to be clear these are the words of Quintus Tullius Cicero, the younger brother of the famous Marcus Tullius Cicero. So if you're looking for the well known historical figure's words of wisdom, these are not them, but they are close.
Close, because they are a list of political insights that mostly hold true to this day and are worthy of a listen for anyone interested in bringing history to life and discovering how little things have changed.
"Very Welcoming Look in to the Islamic World"
If you are largely ignorant of Islamic history and culture I can't imagine a more comprehensive whilst still approachable book on the subject.
I particularly liked the wry humor of the author which comes across beautifully in his narration of his own work.
Thanks Mr. Ansary for helping to bridge the cultural gap.
Heartily recommended!
"Make a Start"
The only memorable nugget I got from this book....
"Make a start".
If you're procrastinating, just say that to yourself. It helped me a little, but as with most self-help books this one delivers a few bullets worth of content wrapped in blurb. At least it is short and sweet.

Tibbers is now his own champion
fail buff shouldnt be OP it should be a buff that failed. like:
Ryze is now manaless
Renek needed a buff to his ratios, so he now has a mana ratio on his ult. Nothing else has been changed.
Arcus Veles
Amumu needed help with mana issues, so we made him in to an energy champion. None of the number values of his skill costs have changed.
Players have been complaining about Warwick having a difficult time ganking pre-6, so we made Blood Scent apply against any level of missing health to allow him a faster approach. The passive can no longer be toggled, but an active has been added that allows you to replace the Blood Scent sound with that of a vuvuzela being raped by a bagpipe, so you can be absolutely sure your enemy knows you are coming and should be both afraid and entirely willing to forsake their own safety to kill you and end that sound.
Junior Member
Critmaster Garen
leona passive changed:
-she now applys sunlight with her basic attacks on the enemy hit.
-her basic attacks and abilitys now trigger sunlight
kavinh the third
katarina's passive now activates whenever she kills a creep, shunpo shunpo shunpo free 25 gold off each.
Wobo Wobo
Morgana's R is now an aura that applies every second while in range. Also, no cooldown.
shurelyias reverie now has its own pink ward active. (Like lantern)
