Since 1990, when Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time® burst on the world with its first book, The Eye of the World, listeners have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over 40 million copies in over 32 languages.
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were number-one New York Times hardcover best sellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind.
Edited by Jordan's widow, who edited all of Jordan's books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan's legions of listeners.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, May yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

"End of one of my favorite fantasy series ever."
I pasted what I had for this review in Word, and it was 4 full pages, and still not done, so I decided to shorten it...
While this series is one of my favorites, it's not one I recommend to everyone. Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is a long journey, both wonderful and painful, that I had to listen to twice before I could truly appreciate it's coherent beauty. While most of the books I couldn't put down, a couple got quite long, and all tend to have A LOT of detail - from what people are wearing to what everyone is thinking about every facet of what they're about to do...
Robert Jordan passed away, before completing the series. Mr. Jordan's wife then made the two best decisions possible for the series, given the heartbreaking loss of her husband:
1. Ask Brandon Sanderson to complete the series
2. Do it in three books instead of one
What Brandon Sanderson did with completing Robert Jordan's series, was the work of a true master. Mr. Sanderson is not just a great writer, he truly loves this series. You can see it in his work - he knows and understands each of the characters - and is emotionally attached to them as Jordan was, and as I am. I mean no disrespect to Robert Jordan when I say that Brandon Sanderson channeling Robert Jordan is as good as, if not better, than Robert Jordan alone.
After 20+ years of marching toward the final battle, as confident as I was that Mr. Jordan had this story done right, I was honestly prepared to be at least a little disappointed, but I was not. These last three books were awesome, and I feel this part of my life (yes, I mean this series) is complete. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, and Mr. Sanderson. Also, thanks to the narrators Kate Reading and Michael Kramer who were there for the whole series!
"The Dragon Rides Again On The Winds Of Time!"
"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass.
What was, what will be, and what is,
may yet fall under the Shadow.
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time..."
In A Memory of Light, the Wheel of Time series comes to a conclusion since its first book (The Eye of the World,1990) opened the door to Jordan's fantastic world of magic, politics, religion, savagery, and intrigue. Since that first novel, readers have passionately waited in anticipation for the next novel in the series, and then the next, passionately cheering and arguing after reading each same novel in the series. Here, the very last in this phenomenally epic saga is finally available at Audible, and the anticipation has been no less strong, the cheering and arguments no less passionate.
Think of it: This grand telling has birthed over forty million printed copies in over thirty languages. It warrants a longer and better than typical review. So, let's.
One of my favorite writers, Brandon Sanderson, respectfully took the reins from the deceased Jordan, who passed in 2007, and bravely took up the incredibly daunting task of completing what Jordan would never be able to do: Tying in Jordan's style and notes combined, take the the series to completion, and thus closing the Wheel of Time appropriately. Sanderson moved forward to do exactly that, and successfully completed both The Gathering Storm and Towers of Midnight. Each novel achieved number 1 New York Times hardcover best-seller status, and rightfully so.
Sanderson and Jordan's widow, who edited all of Jordan's books, have done what is almost impossible to achieve: Meet the demands of millions of fans worldwide by faithfully adhering to the author's passionate dream of breathing life and completion into this final novel, and in the telling, take us one last time on a powerfully heart wrenching journey that satisfies, thrills and moves.
Will I give away plot lines or provide spoilers?
Read my other reviews, and you know I NEVER do. However, here's I WILL tell you: This novel will stir you, excite you, satisfy you as it weaves together the final strands of this fantastic tapestry of The Wheel Of Time! Many questions will be answered, and story lines closed. Epic battles will be fought, and heroes and villains thrust to the very limits of their being. You will stay up nights, wringing your hands, cheering on your favorites, be completely surprised, you'll maybe even shed a tear or two. At the end of it all, when the last words are spoken...You'll be satisfied.
I have been an Audible listener since 2006, and have literally HUNDREDS of audiobooks in my listening library. This last novel is a RARE OCCURRENCE. Similar series facing the author's death and so much storytelling yet to be completed DIE off. They fade, and the readers left thoroughly disappointed. Not so here.
If you have loved, or even liked, the Wheel Of Time series, you owe it to yourself to buy this audiobook. Devour it, as the series has devoured millions across the globe. This Audible book is a MUST OWN. It has my very HIGHEST recommendation.
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, and Mr. Sanderson for an incredible journey.
And an appropriate farewell.
Proud to be a nerd
"Warning: Tarmon Gai'don can be exhausting"
"Loial son of Arent son of Halen, had secretly always wanted to be hasty."
As a hasty human, I listened to this book almost non-stop, narrator on 2X (3X for the slow parts) so that I could get to the end. Waiting almost 2 decades for Tarmon Gai'don made me impatient. I'll certainly listen to it again, this time on normal speed, but wanted to jot down a few things in a spoiler-free review for my fellow impatient humans before I start over and savor it more slowly.
I feel that I should warn people that A Memory of Light is one of the most exhausting books I've ever read. Half-way through and I was already battle weary. Three quarters through and I felt that the whole thing was hopeless. None of the preceding books have come close to approaching the intensity of this final volume. It truly felt like the end of all things. It was glorious. It was heartbreaking. It was so many things but, like most WoT books, it wasn't perfect.
First, a few of the good things. There are so many surprises that I never felt that I could anticipate what was going to happen next. Many threads are tied up, most in a satisfactory manner. Talmanes gets more screen time (I've always love Talmanes). You really get the feeling that the entire world is at war, and it's done in a way that is believable.
The Pervara and Androl storyline almost stole the show. I just couldn't get enough of them. I'd love to see a follow-up short story about these two in a fantasy anthology like the Legends series.
Good people die. GASP! Oh yes, while Team Jordan doesn't exactly go about it George R.R. Martin-style, they definitely make up for lost time in weeding down the character list. Some of the deaths are meaningless, some are tide-turners and not all of them were as touching as they could have been. The death of a few of my favorite characters left me feeling oddly detached, while the death of another character had me bawling more than I did for Dumbledor.
Now for the not so good. There are a few deus ex machina contrivances that grated on me, but the worst was about Perrin. Perrin's special abilities have never been particularly spectacular and it really feels like they got amped up so that he wouldn't be overshadowed by the other two ta'veren boys. I've never been a huge fan of Perrin's storyline once he married Faile, so maybe it's just me.
Mat, one of my favorite characters, has deteriorated into not much more than a clown. I didn't mind his comic relief bits so much in the last two novels, but he's a pivotal character in this novel and has become almost a parody of Mat.
Everything Padan Fain. Sad waste of a potentially great villain. I really haven't cared about him since he left the Whitecloaks and here it almost seemed like he was thrown in as an afterthought. I wish they would have just left him out of it. Terrible.
Another reviewer stated that some of the accents for characters have changed, and I have to agree. I've just spent 3 months listening to the 14 previous books and there are several minor differences in the 'voice' of some characters in this final novel. It was mildly distracting in the beginning, but nowhere near as the egregious differences in Roy Dotrice's erratic narrations of the first/last Song of Ice and Fire novels.
Unlike Tolkein's Return of the King, we don't get a lot of wrap up. If I had to summarize the flow of the novel, it goes something like this, maneuver, maneuver, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, reposition your troops, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, end. Sure, it's Tarmon Gai'don, but I guess I'm one of those people that prefer a bit more exposition about what happens afterward. These are our friends, some of whom we know better than our own family members, and I would have preferred to know more about what happens to them when the dust settles as we've been assured that there won't be any sequels or prequels.
As far as my rating, I take away ½ star for pacing, ½ star for annoying plot devices, ½ star for missed opportunities, which leaves 3 ½ stars. I'll round that up to 4 because, though it often infuriates me, The Wheel of Time is an old friend and I love it despite it's flaws.
I read, I write; I listen
"A Homage to Robert Jordan"
The last book in the epic saga "The Wheel of Time has finally been written. We all know it wasn't exactly the book Robert Jordan would have penned, that would have been impossible to duplicate, but we have to give thanks to Brandon Sanderson and the many folks that had supported Robert Jordan's work. They have given us closure to a series that began in 1990, and for a while thought might never be completed.
Although all writers have their own style I believe Brandon Sanderson did a great job of blending his to Robert Jordan's No one could know the Characters deepest thoughts and tendencies in the Wheel of Time better than Robert Jordan, and some of that insight was missing in the last books, but Brandon Sanderson is a very talented writer of fantasy fiction, and his painstaking effort to keep true to Robert Jordan's vision is a homage to the late great writer.
"The Memory of Light does exactly what all of us WOT fans have been wanting; completion. It deserves five stars.
Master of None
"The saga that brought 'Epic' back to fantasy"
This was a very fitting and satisfying end to a saga that was perhaps the most epic in scope since Tolkien. While the merits of Robert Jordan's style has been hotly debated, and the individual books have been received with varying enthusiasm, the importance of the series cannot be ignored.
In A Memory of Light, fast rising author Brandon Sanderson does an admirable job of pulling together the overwhelming number of plot threads that Jordan wove through his masterwork. From the Dragon Reborn himself to the shaggy pony that accompanied him in the first chapter of the first book, we learn the fates of all the characters that have intrigued us, frustrated us, drawn our sympathy, and pulled us into their lush and complex world. While the story is brought to a close, enough mystery is left to remind the reader that there are truly no endings to the Wheel of Time.
Readers Kate Reading and Michael Kramer, as always, bring life to the characters and light to the rich environs of the novel.
For fans like myself who have literally grown up along with the Wheel of Time and its cast of characters, this book is exciting, heart-rending, and satisfying, though more than a little bittersweet. I salute Brandon Sanderson for the passion and professionalism he brought to this beloved series, and I fondly extend my thanks to Mr. Rigley, whose life work has rendered him truly immortal in literature.
I like scifi and urban fantasy. I don't like romance novels. If you are the same my reviews should help.
"Finally we have closure!"
It was good to finish something started so many years ago. Mr. Snaderson does a great job of bringing the series to a satisfying close. A lot of the fanboys may disagree, but I believe Mr. Sanderson did a better job finishing the series than Mr. Jordan would have done. Sanderson is much better at action and this book is non-stop action from page one. I believe the weakest points of the series are the elements of Mr. Jordan's that Sanderson is forced to shoe-horn in. Jordan definitely didn't have this worked out nearly as well as he said he did.
There were so many. I think I liked the part where Moiraine makes her return and saves the day.
There are so many good scenes I couldn't honestly pick one.,
that is physically impossible. This book is LONG. They could easily have made two books out of this but I am glad they did not.
The book is long and very dark in points. I had to take a lot of breaks in reading it. Sanderson did a great job and should be commended as the end of the series had been built up so big that no one could have satisfied everyone. He came as close as anyone could have, including Mr. jordan himself. The series tanked for a while but the last three books are much better than what Mr. Jordan was putting out near the end. If you made it this far in the series nothing is going to stop you from finishning anyway. The form didn't ask but the narrators are excellent as well.
Brandon does a great job finishing the series. I was definitely not disappointed just sad its now over
On Audible since the late 1990s, mostly science fiction, fantasy, history & science. I rarely review 1-2 star books that I can't get through
"It certainly is an ending"
As must be true for so many others listening to this book, it is the conclusion of a series I started two decades ago. Fantasy was a bit of a different place then, and the WoT series was, to my teenage sensibilities, amazing. Giant fantasy novels featuring prophecy and magic and hidden identities. It was like reading Tolkein again! Or the Belgariad! Awesome!
A lot has changed in those decades, however, and much of what defined WoT (including lots of "borrowing" from Tolkein and other sources) in epic fantasy is now either completely out of fashion (think the grimdark worlds of George RR Martin), or else has been reconfigured by other writers (JK Rowling's take on prophecy and evil). So, in some ways, it is nice to get back to the intricate world-building, humble farmboys-turned-saviors, hideous Trollocs, and other fantasy staples. Besides, I have invested so much time over the years, including in some of the truly awful books in the middle of the series, that I had to finish this.
Given this context, this is a very satisfying book. After reading various Wikis to get up to speed, I found myself thrilled to see the old characters again, and to see most (if not all) of the many threads of the immense plot brought to a reasonably satisfying conclusion. Sanderson deserves credit for somehow managing to deal with the thousands of plots, viewings, and minor characters that Robert Jordan introduced, and he does it impressively, switching between nearly 100 points of view in various chapters. He also manages to slightly tone down Jordan's somewhat upsetting take on gender politics. Both of these are no mean feat, and I have to admit that I got somewhat emotional as some of the characters I had known for 20+ years met their various fates.
All of this (plus excellent reading) makes this a really worthwhile conclusion to an epic fantasy series. Not the best series, mind you, but one that deserves praise for both its ambition and its satisfying ending. I wouldn't start WoT from scratch, at this stage, but I am happy I experienced it.
Correctly placing the WOT series into the proper place among the hierarchy of fantasy greats is complex. Setting aside the commercial success of the series, the quality of each book in the series varied widely. Starting off great with The Eye of the World, each subsequent novel got better than the one before it for quite some time. Robert Jordan hit his stride in the fourth and fifth books while the sixth, Lord of Chaos, is probably the finest book he ever wrote—these three books (4,5, and 6) are among the greatest in fantasy literature.
With the 7th book, Jordan began to slowly stumble. The trend for (7,8,9,10) was that each one was at least a bit worse than the one before it. The series began to ramble. Plot threads stalled, more and more characters entered the story line while old plot threads stayed unresolved. The story began to become convoluted where once elegance weaved the beautiful complexity. This culminated with the dreadfully dull, poorly edited tenth book. It may have been his health, or fatigue, or perhaps Jordan had just lost his way for a while, but there is no doubt that much of the early magic was gone. I kept reading--We kept reading—despite this in part because we knew the magic would come back and partly because in our extensive adventures with fantastically deep characters, we had grown to love them, and there was still joy in loving them walk nowhere fast. I am glad that Robert Jordan reversed this decline with his final book, (book 11) which was much better but still not at the pinnacle of his earlier work. We will never know if this redemptive trend would have continued had Robert Jordan not been taken from us so early.
What we do know is that Brandon Sanderson'—already on his way to becoming a legend for his own work—produced three contributions to the series that have all been magnificent. The have been brilliant not only because of Sanderson's talent but because they were a labor of genuine love. He started reading the series as a teenager and loved the books and characters like we loved them. His work could not have been better. Here I will say what may be regarded as blasphemy among the Jordan die- hards: Brandon Sanderson not only helped save Robert Jordan's legacy by finishing the series—he augmented it by concluding the series with stunning artistry and passion.
I am sad to see it end. I have lived so long with these characters that I can't believe I will never see them grow or laugh or change again. It was worth it thought. This book is beautiful. This series is beautiful.
"Epic series comes to a close"
After spending months listening to the entire series, the question naturally arises: "What now?" The answer is obvious: listen to more books by Brandon Sanderson!
The last volumes of The Wheel of Time written by Sanderson were, for me, the best. The writing remained true to Jordan's style to the extent that I wouldn't have suspected that another author was involved, if I hadn't known this before reading. But major flaws (in my opinion) in the series were missing. Jordan tended to describe in detail and name hundreds of minor characters. Some of these characters would appear much later on without explanation, so the only way to remember who they were was to look the character up on the Internet. Reading the books on a Kindle would have been easier than listening to the Audible version in these cases, because one could use the search function to find previous mentions of the character. Also, Jordan made the main female characters so obnoxious, that it was hard for me to get past the first couple of volumes. This wore off (or maybe the characters matured) in the course of the series, and in the volumes written by Sanderson the annoyance was gone. Jordan also tended to leave lots of loose ends that were never clarified. I didn't notice this happening in the volumes written by Sanderson.
There was one thing about the entire series that did put me off: Rand loving and mating with three beautiful women who were willing to share him with each other. This was more of a (male) author's dream rather than a believable story plot. This was Jordan's doing, though, and not Sanderson's.
I found the actual ending to be rather weird and less than satisfying, but that doesn't alter the enjoyment of reading the volumes written by Sanderson.
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading were, as always, excellent.
"Absolutely superb"
I'm not going to spoil the book for anyone by giving away the plot.
I just wanted to say it finishes of a true epic written by two master story tellers. RIP Robert Jordan thank you for something very special and Brandon I can't wait for you next book.
"Beautifully Done."
A fitting end to a remarkable journey which I finally finished at 4:45 this morning, today will not be fun but it was worth it.
Thank you Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, it's been a pleasure.
"Oh Nooo It's all over :("
I cannot believe it's all over I have invested a massive amount of time over a week of my life listening to this series for it all to end well after 14 books and the death of its original author it was ready to come to a close. I must take my hat off to Brandon Sanderson he pulled it out of the bag bringing one of the longest fantasy series to and so well it must of been hell with soooo many characters stories to tie up. All in all it is an exhilarating and tense read and as always fantastically read by Michael Kramer, Kate Reading.
"The 'Money' book"
I'm one of the people who used to re-read the series each time a new book came out, I then had a break of a few years after book 9 came out - I was distraught at the news of Roberts illness and the tragedy of an unfinished masterpiece. At the prompting of a friend, who was singing the praises of the last book, I used up my credits and bought the last 5 books on audible a few weeks ago and have been gorging my myself stupid on the Wheel of Time until finishing the last one a couple of hours ago. Pound for word (or any other measure you care to use) this is easily the best money I've ever spent. A series that I hope to read a number of times again in the future (Light willing!). Right now I'm feeling like an Aes Sedai who's just lost their Warder...but thank you Robert (and Brandon!!).
"A fitting conclusion"
What a brilliant conclusion to the epic! The characters we have come to know so well fulfilled their destinies with passion, humour, bravery and humility. All credit to Robert Jordan for his amazing imagination in creating the world of the Dragon Reborn, and due credit and thanks to Brandon Sanderson for adapting his style and weaving the final threads so that the wheel turned as RJ had willed.
I often listen in my car and there were times I had to pull over to get through some particularly nerve-wracking episodes such as Perrin vs Slayer, Egwene vs M'Hael, Olver vs Trollocs and of course Rand vs Moridin. I cried for the 'friends' who died, revelled in the humour of reluctant hero Mat and almost felt sorry for the Forsaken as their diabolical schemes unravelled.
Final credit to Kate Redding and Michael Kramer for their reading and characterization - it made listening such a pleasure and added depth to the characters: thank you.
"Superb book!"
Really enjoyed this book. The choice of Brandon Sanderson to complete the series is a masterstroke as he's been able to do a splendid job. Narration is also very good, which adds to the experience.
"the last book"
What a fitting end to a fantastic series you will not be disappointed if you loved robert Jordan's books then you will love this too
"Epic finish to a Epic Fantasy series"
Such a great story and with some suspense moments and some sad ones too. The whole book is a series of scenes in the last battle. A lot of OMG OMG moments. Excellent narration throughout the series.
Sad to have an ending to this epic, but it was good ending, some people die, some people live, some are damaged, and we are all entertained by the adventures of the various characters in the Wheel of Time.
"What a series!"
I feel utterly drained and bereft, NO MORE WHEEL OF TIME! But what an ending.... Well done to Brandon Sanderson for completing what must have been an enormous task, to get inside someone else's fantasy and write the seamless end to a classic is a bit special to say the least. Wonderful.
"end of an era"
Not many end of era books finish in this style worth.Every penny i've spent on these books for the last 23 years.
RIP Robert your work will live forever.
thank you brandon for finishing his work as true jordan.

Toronto seeks to right ship as Yanks seek sweep
The first two games of the Blue Jays' series against the rival Yankees this weekend have served as a stark reminder that this season has not gone as planned for the revamped Toronto squad.
The Blue Jays will look to avoid a home sweep at the hands of the Yanks when the teams meet for Sunday's series finale at Rogers Centre. Toronto enters the contest at 7-11 and mired in a rough stretch of late.
"I've said that a few times in the past week, one step forward, two steps back," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "That's kind of what's going on."
In fact, Gibbons' club has followed that pattern quite literally over the past week.
The Blue Jays took a step forward Monday, starting the week with a series-opening win against the White Sox. They then dropped two straight to the Sox before ending the series with a victory on Thursday. That win was promptly followed by the back-to-back losses against New York, clinching yet another series loss.
While Toronto has managed just one series victory in its first six, the Yankees clinched their fourth straight series triumph with Saturday's 5-3, 11-inning win. Now, the Yankees have their sights set on their first three-game sweep of the year when they send right-hander Ivan Nova to the mound for Sunday's tilt.
Nova, making his third start of the year, is coming off his first win since last Sept. 15. The righty limited the D-backs to two runs off seven hits on Tuesday, though he needed 94 pitches to get through his five innings of work.
"It feels really good," Nova said of notching the victory. "I was joking with the guys -- I don't remember when the last time was that I won a ballgame. I know that I didn't go far enough in the game. It's something we will keep working on. Hopefully, this is a good sign for me."
It was certainly a step forward for Nova -- something Gibbons is hoping his team will take yet again on Sunday. However, with the Blue Jays playing their next 11 games, including Sunday, against American League East rivals New York (five times), Baltimore (three) and Boston (three), they can't afford to keep taking two steps backward.
"You have to play good in your own division, you play them so many times," Gibbons said. "I still think the American League East is top to bottom the toughest division in baseball. The whole American League is strong, don't get me wrong, but you have to beat the teams in your division if you want to do anything."
Yankees: Wells continues strong play
Outfielder Vernon Wells continued his resurgence with New York on Saturday, crushing a solo home run to put the Yankees on the board en route to their extra-inning victory.
Wells also scored the game-deciding run after leading off the 11th with a base hit, finishing the day 3-for-5. After posting just a .230 batting average with 11 homers in 77 games with the Angels last season, Wells is now hitting .310 with five long balls in 15 games with the Yankees.
"Obviously it didn't go the way I had planned or the Angels had planned," Wells said about the two seasons he spent with the Angels. "I would have loved to have played better there, but it didn't happen. You learn from the mistakes that were made and the time that you spent in that clubhouse and on that field, and you get better from there."
Wells signed with the Angels prior to the 2011 season after spending the first 12 years of his Major League career in Toronto. As a Blue Jay, Wells made three All-Star appearances, nabbed three Gold Glove Awards and surpassed the 20-homer plateau seven times in his nine full big league seasons.
"I'm seeing a lot of the same guy," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said when comparing Wells now to the Toronto version. "He has swung the bat very well, I don't think he has chased a lot of bad pitches. I think he has played a very good left field for us. I think he is really close to the same guy that we have seen."
• Kevin Youkilis left Saturday's game with tightness in his lower back. Youkilis, listed as day to day, went 1-for-3 with a two-run single Saturday before being replaced in the bottom of the sixth inning by Lyle Overbay.
Blue Jays: Johnson after first Toronto win
Josh Johnson will take the mound in Sunday's series finale still searching for his first win as a Blue Jay.
Though winless through his first three outings after being acquired from the Marlins in this offseason's blockbuster trade, Johnson made impressive strides this past Tuesday against the White Sox. In an outing that Gibbons called "terrific," Johnson allowed just two runs on four hits while striking out a season-high eight batters over seven innings of work.
"I was just more aggressive overall," said Johnson, who was the only Blue Jays starter to complete seven innings before Mark Buehrle also accomplished the feat Saturday. "Fastball, curveball, slider, everything was going -- not just to the catcher but through the catcher and through the zone. That was the main focus for this start, and it worked out."
Worth noting
• Players currently on the Blue Jays' active roster are hitting a collective .352 (25-for-71) with six home runs against Nova. Edwin Encarnacion leads the way with a .400 average (6-for-15) to go along with four RBIs.
• The Yankees are just 9-10 against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre over the past two seasons, compared to 14-4 when playing the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium during that same span.

The Art of the Middle Game
Chess Middlegame Combinations, a companion volume to Chess Middlegame Planning, forms the second part of Peter Romanovsky's classic Russian textbook on the middlegame. Now available for the first itme in an English language translation, Chess Middlegame Combinations is written with a view to helping the reader acquire a practical understanding of middlegame techniques as well as an appreciation for the beauty and aesthetics of chess.
Chess Middlegame Combinations
Every chessplayer hopes to make brilliant moves which will overcome the opponent in a blaze of glory. But such combinations come into being only as a result of proper planning, as demonstrated in Chess Middlegame Planning. The lucid and penetrating analysis of the games in this volume demonstrate the imagination and creativity necessary for proper handling of the central stage of the game.
Chess Middlegame Planning
As I also remarked in my review, the Soviet concept of a beginner is clearly wider than ours, and to make the book even wider in its scope and appeal I have added some supplementary material. I must confess that I have had some misgivings about the correct rendering of certain technical terms, but in the absence of an internationally accepted terminology each translator must take his own line on such matters. Also in translating certain extracts quoted from authors whose books are available in English I have followed the Russian text in those rare cases where it differs slightly from the English version. I trust that this book will give real pleasure to its readers and help those players who wish to learn to play combinations.

Featuring the 100 Most Important Middlegame Ideas
Following on from his successful Understanding Chess Endgames, John Nunn turns his attention to the middlegame - the phase of the chess battle where most games are decided, yet the one that has received the least systematic treatment from chess writers. With the outstanding clarity for which he is famous, Nunn breaks down complex problems into bite-sized pieces.

A Complete Chess Course - How to Win at Chess - VOLUME II
Principles of Pawn Play and the Center
Publisher: ISHI Press
Author: Ludek Pachman
Year of Publication: 2012 (Reprint) Pages: 185
Notation Type: Descriptive (DN)
Book Description Continuing his major work on strategy and tactics in modern chess, the internationalyl renowned Grandmaster, Ludek Pachman, now turns his attention to the play of the pawns and the achievement of control of the center squares. Though the pawns are the weakest pieces in chess, their importance in determining the character of the attack (and defense) and the development of strategic play cannot be underestimated. Pawns are essential to the protection of important squares and pieces. They are the best means of blockading enemy pawns and when correctly deployed, their advance can open vital files and diagonals, thereby creating weaknesses in the opposite position. Despite its limited power, the pawn has one special advantage over other pieces in that it can be promoted when it reaches the eighth rank; a successful pawn advance can completely change the balance of power and the outcome of a game. Pawns have aptly been described as "the soul of chess." Vital of chess mastery is a basic understanding of the importance of control of the center squares. The effectiveness of the pieces depend upon the strength of their position and center control creates a vital sapatial superiority. The effective play of the pawns and center control have been touched upon on other works, but seldom with the insight and lucidity revealed in this second volume of Pachman's masterwork.

In each of these books the need for understanding is emphasized: there are too many variations for any memory to store. The player must understand the basic principles involved and the typical positions or maneuvers that can arise.

The original version of this famous guide to the middlegame was published in 1929 when Romanovsky was Soviet Champion. Romanovsky later decided to update and improve his work.

Rollercoaster thrillseekers left dangling upside down 50ft up for 20 minutes after poncho gets stuck in rails
They had paid to go on the Mumbo Jumbo ride at Flamingo Land theme park in North Yorkshire, which is claimed to be the steepest rollercoaster in the world.
But their carriage got stranded after a poncho jammed the mechanism, leaving them upside down before being rescued by theme park staff.
Nigel Warburton, of Darlington, County Durham, who was at Flamingo Land for a day out, photographed the incident yesterday.
'There was quite a crowd gathered watching,' he told The Northern Echo.
The £4 million ride opened at the park near Malton last July. It plunges people down an overhang of 112 degrees from a high point of nearly 100ft.

Spring Training Photos
I've posted all of my best Spring Training photos in an album here on the blog. Check 'em out.
It was good to watch the game on Channel 5 today and see Jay Randolph again. When Mike Shannon stopped by for a while, that was a true 80s flashback. All that was missing was "Celebration" playing in the background.
Carpenter looked his usual worldbeating self today. Too bad Tyler Johnson and Josh Hancock let the Braves scalp 'em. Yes, it's only pre-season, but the bullpen is becoming worrisome now that we know Josh Kinney will be out for the season.
1 Comment
1. I'm back!!
2. I wouldn't worry about the bullpen too much. Johnson and Hancock aren't big parts of the relief pitching. Brad Thompson is the key, and Rincon should do well. Russ Springer ought to contribute, as well. Things will come around.

First, you have too many CPU's.
Second, that's a great idea
For the emails that we have received from users inquiring about how to safely and properly store any LGA-775 CPUs when not in use, as well as to pass along this tid-bit of information to others, here's how we do it. I had initially figured it out shortly after the Intel LGA launch back in 2004, and haven't run into any problems with this technique. It has been tested with both LGA-771 and LGA-775 processors, and should also work with the upcoming LGA-1207.
The process is safe (haven't killed any CPUs this way yet ), compact (takes barely any room), and plain and simply works well. It basically involves removing the CD holder portion of a standard jewel case, and then plopping the CPU in there (also works well if you still have the plastic base portion of the CPU from when it was shipped). It's also recommended that you remove the thermal compound as well prior to storing it. Basically a jewel case with the plastic CD holder portion works quite well as its practically the perfect height, is plastic, and is quite compact. A single jewel case can store one or multiple Land Grid Array CPUs.
Multiple package.
The CD case design is much smaller, secure, and just better (IMHO) than storing the CPUs in the retail packaging.
If you have any questions or comments about this matter, feel free to post.
First, you have too many CPU's.
Second, that's a great idea
It's also much safer than the sources that send out CPU engineering samples in standard paper envelopes
hey im new here i was searching for better methods for storing my cpu's i had lying around since i have a 4 year old terrorist living with me .this could could destroy anything lol.
i found this post and tried it ,it works great ...
also i found that it works well for storing standard random access memory sticks.i was able to fit 6 processors and 1 dram stick in 1 case and have another for 3 more sticks of unused dram.
thanks for taking the time to post this great idea,im just bummed i didnt think of this on my own ,im usualy more resourcefull .
Well, for the typical user, once the chip comes off the board, you might as well dump it in the trash since it likely isn't going to run ever again.
-- otherwise that user would have picked up a new mainboard with the new chip.
The only other case would be for those who (for unfathomable reasons) like benchmarking and swap chips back and forth.
yeah man i have a hobby of making old computers new again and donating them to less fortunate persons whome otherwise couldnt afford a pc.
as well as getting them hooked up with free internet,by 2 methods.
in my area we have a free dial up service which isnt too bad as far as speed.another method is getting them on public wifi .
also i am stockpileing pentium4 cpu's for an extreme overclocking venture i am planning to break the 8 ghz world record. people think the current world record is 6-6.5 ghz but its actually 8 ghz on an intel p4 chip.
anyways thats what i needed the storage for.
You, my friend, are anything but typical

This Saturday was one of the most amazing experiences that I've ever had Fly Fishing.
The weather was perfect, just enough clouds and a little rain to keep the crowds out of the San Gabriel Mountains.
I woke up, checked the forecast (only 1/10th of an inch of rain throughout the day) perfect!
I threw on my gear, hit Jack-in-the-box up for some coffee, and I was on my way.
As I drove up the 605 freeway, I immediately noticed a problem TRAFFIC "on a Saturday morning", I thought to myself. What was going on? As I passed slowly about 3 mph to be exact, I noticed two cars flipped over on the other side of the freeway.
The adrenaline hit my system, and I drove away with a new sense of safety. Driving a little slower up the mountain I stopped in to renew my yearly Adventure Pass.
The drive up was beautiful, water flowing from every direction.
I passed up the West Fork, and started my way up the North Fork to my ultimate destination Crystal Lake.
I was scoping out a few new spots to stop and fish as a group of bikers road passed going down the hill. Then it happened, one of the bikers started skidding out of control, and he slammed into the side of the mountain. I screeched on my brakes to pull over, threw the truck in park, and jumped out so fast the guy behind me almost ran me over. I stopped and looked both ways. It was clear, and I darted over to the fallen "Road Warrior".
He had already gotten up and was carrying his Road Bike over to a small dirt patch. His helmet was cracked, but he seemed to be okay and the man in the truck behind me had an extensive first aid kit.
After he was all patched up and back on his way, I again started back on the road even more cautous, I wasn't about to make it a day of "all crashes and no fishing". I stopped at a new section and started my way down the path slipping and sliding down the side of wet rocks. When at last I was at the stream.
I cast into a few holes with nothing more than a couple of small about 3 inch Rainbows to show for it. As I moved up though, so did the size of the fish. By the last hole I had an 10and 11inch Trout to the net, and things were starting to look up!
Realizing that it gets dark by 5:00 pm I hurried back to my vehicle, still wanting to ultimately wet a line at Crystal Lake. I arrived to find the gate unfortunately locked, and it was time for the cold tired feet to get back to action.
Finally I was there. I pulled out a Size 16 Rubber Leg Yellow Stimulator, with a Size 16 dropper Flash Back Hares Ear Nymph (my lucky San Gabriel Combo). First cast and first Trout was on.
It was a stocked fish, small only about 8 inches. However I was cold and tired and a "fish is a fish" no matter the size. So I cast a couple more times and caught a few more small fish.
I decided to call it quits, but as I looked up I realized I was literally in the middle of a rain cloud. The Air was dense and cold immediately, and it felt like I was breathing in water. It poured out on the Lake for about 3 minutes, and then just a quickly as it came it was gone.
I took it as a sign to make one last cast, and luckily I did. My Stimulator completely disappeared. I sent the hook, and before I knew it I was into a 13 inch Trout.
It was every bit of 13 inches, trust me I measured it in my net, but it was the skinniest thing I had ever seen.
I guess even the Hatchery Fish are feeling the Economic Recession!
Urban Fly Venturing, a Disease Worth Catching!

A louse — the name for lice if you're talking about just one of them — is a tiny gray and brown bug that's as big as a sesame seed.
If you get a case of them, they itch like mad. While they're living on your scalp, they eat your blood and lay eggs for more lice.

Produced at
Jeff Feuerzeig is an award winning director and non-fiction filmmaker whose feature film The Devil and Daniel Johnston won top documentary directing honors at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and was distributed theatrically by Sony Pictures Classics.The film, which has developed a large cult following, is a compelling portrait of a schizophrenic musician and outsider artist who overcame his private demons -- many of them quite literal in the subject's own mind -- to develop an avid international following. Combining techniques drawn from the documentary canon (Feuerzeig has worked with Albert Maysles, and others) and the New Journalism of the 1970s (the creation of first-person POV and internal monologue through audio cassette letters, journal entries, home movies, etc.), the film presents one of the finest portraits available of what writer and clinical psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison has labeled the artist "touched with fire," and the connective tissue that links genius to madness.
As New York Observer film critic Matt Zoller Seitz declared of Devil: "A true nonfiction film, a movie that tries to do with sound and image what journalists like Nick Tosches (Dino) and Norman Mailer (Armies of the Night) tried to do with prose, bending prose into poetry to find a more subjective route to truth."
Coming out of the fertile early '80s punk and independent music underground and its pervasive do-it-yourself aesthetic, Feuerzeig began his career as a film editor before successfully transitioning to commercial directing. In 1993, his independently produced and self-financed first feature Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King, a loving documentary portrait of the cult band, was distributed theatrically in art-house cinemas nationwide, expanding a personal passion project into a humorous yet ultimately heartfelt valentine to the kind of fringe artists who often deserve but rarely receive anything like it.As Stephen Holden wrote in the New York Times, "But underneath [this] pose burns a fiercely anti-establishment passion and an anarchic teen-age spirit that insists on the ultimate value of noise for noise's sake."Continuing to push the boundaries of non-fiction, Feuerzeig recently completed The Real Rocky, a one-hour special for ESPN's acclaimed "30 for 30" documentary series about boxer Chuck Wepner, who in 1975 went 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali and inspired the Sylvester Stallone film Rocky. He also completed The Dude for USA Network, an 18-minute documentary short about Jeff "The Dude" Dowd, a legendary producer's rep who became the basis for the Coen Brothers' cult film The Big Lebowski, which is broadcast online as part of their "Character" series.

So I am building a revell gato and I am at the part where you get all the rear components ready to go together
I have the rudder & the dive planes all done *but I could use some help with the strut connection.
I know that in order to make it removable you need to cut it, no problem, and use a screw to attach the rear
part to the main structure, but it looks like it could use some reinforcement. How did you do yours?
what kind of screw? Did you add some material to the main structure, tap it or what?
also is is beafy enough using just one screw?
thanks for any input

RareShare is a unique social hub building communities for patients, families, and healthcare professionals affected by rare disorders.
While rare disorders seem to impact only a small portion of the population, together they affect over 30 million people in the United States and Europe. Due to the comparably low level of occurrences of individual rare disorders, there is often a lack of information and support for patients and their families. We're working to change this.

Best Uses
I bought this to keep the sun off my ears and neck. My dad just had skin cancer taken off his ears and I thought I better start taking care of mine better. It works great!!
Best Uses
The elastic band with rubber on the inside grips your hat well and keeps this on even if it gets windy. The band is not so tight as to be a problem, yet tight enough to keep the wind from being an issue. There is a small added Velcro strap on the back to secure it to the back of your hat.
Got this for my long bill ball cap. Works great on it and fits perfect. Nice and light weight with a good color. Keeps the sun off and the bugs away and doesn't cause my neck and ears to get overheat at all.
One major, and silly, flaw. It has a pitch black elastic band. This color tends to draw heat, and retain heat. Other than that they did a great job designing this.
Best Uses
I work as a roofer, and having a burnt neck is kind of part of the job. I really dont like wearing a full brim hat, so I thought I'd give this thing a try; and first off, I really believe this jade in the fabric does something, I have an armachillo shirt that I love, and with this not only does it protect your neck and ears from the direct sun, I swear it feels cool on my neck, obviously not cold, but very relieving considering I used to just wear sun screen and take it.
If you work outdoors in the sun, or plan on spending an extended amount of time outside and think you might want some kind of neck protection like this then do it, you'll be glad you have it
Best Uses
I put it on at the tenth tee and I am cooler on the back nine. Nuff said.

Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together. After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant and inquired if he was heading home. "No," he responded. "Heading out?" I asked. "No. I'm escorting a soldier home." "Going to pick him up?" "No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq. I'm taking him home to his family." The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me. It was an honor for him.
I applied for this deer season's hunting license on January 1. I have cleaned and buffed my rifle until it shines. I have all my gear and it is in perfect condition. My water jug is already full. I have even washed my eye glasses. I am ready. Yeah right, no way, only in my wildest dreams, are-you-joking? The tags were originally mis-mailed and now "they are in the mail" is what the Game, Fish and Parks guy told me (actually a very pleasant gentleman). I have not shot my rifle since last year. I can't find any of my gear. My job is busy right now.
"Coffee Shop Marketing" was developed in 2005 to provide a foundation for South Dakota producers to build and implement their own marketing plans. It was launched from a grant awarded from the USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) to a SDSU economics team. Follow-up meetings are scheduled at 1:00 p.m. on the following dates: November 16 in Gettysburg at the VFW; November 30 in Watertown at the Codington County Extension Center; and December 7 in Philip at the Philip Fire Hall. "Last year, we held three meetings in each of these locations.
SDSU Extension began working with community development in 2004 that emphasized developing local leaders to deal with challenges such as poverty. Communities involved in this new round of the program must have fewer than 5,000 residents and a poverty rate of greater than 10 percent as of the 2000 census, according to Kari Fruechte, Horizons Project director for the SDSU Cooperative Extension Service. A public Spotlight session was held in Philip on September 13.

The family makes regular trips several times a year for what they term as a "tune-up" for Jennifer and, on average, are there for a week to ten days for these treatments. Last year, Jennifer spent a great deal of time in Omaha due to several severe lung infections. In fact, she spent most of last summer in the Omaha hospital or traveling back and forth for treatments. Jennifer is the daughter of Wes and Nikki Nelson of Midland.

A's look to build momentum against Reds
Oakland matches Griffin with Cincy's Bailey at the Coliseum
Lack of familiarity is one of the biggest challenges in Interleague Play. Both Reds manager Dusty Baker and A's manager Bob Melvin mentioned it before their teams met for the first of a two-game set in Oakland on Tuesday.
But Melvin and his A's do have one advantage: They're playing at home. The unfamiliarity reaches a new level for the Reds, who haven't seen much of the Oakland Coliseum as they head into Wednesday's finale, which pits Cincinnati right-hander Homer Bailey against Oakland righty A.J. Griffin.
"I think that the main thing they have going for them is this ballpark," Baker said. "It negates your home runs and has a whole bunch of foul territory that we're not used to seeing in our league. On both sides, you just keep running, keep running and keep running, thinking you're hitting the fence, and still have another 20 feet to go.
Although the two teams did meet once during Spring Training, Cincinnati hadn't played in Oakland prior in the regular season since 2010.
But that doesn't mean Interleague Play comes without difficulties for the A's -- who lost four of five games on the road before beating the Reds on Tuesday -- simply because they're playing at home. Melvin said the challenge in beating Cincinnati, along with the unfamiliar matchups, is that the team does everything relatively well, ranking in the top five in the National League in runs scored and team ERA.
"You don't know as much about these teams as you do about teams in your league and division," Melvin said. "So, therefore, you kind of rely on your strengths and get to know the team that you're playing as you go along."
Reds: Phillips away for finale
Second baseman Brandon Phillips is expected to miss the series finale against the A's on Wednesday, as he was placed on the paternity list on Monday.
Created by Major League Baseball in 2011, the list allows players to miss up to three games while the the team can call up a replacement to maintain an active 25-man roster. The Reds only comment on the matter came in an e-mail that read: "Brandon Phillips is away from the team on a private matter."
Without Phillips, who is batting .256 with 11 homers and 60 RBIs in 71 games this season, Cincinnati called up infielder Henry Rodriguez from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
• Unlike his last start, Reds right-hander Homer Bailey hopes to have all of his pitches at his disposal on Wednesday against the A's.
On Thursday against the Pirates, Bailey labored through six innings, but gave up just two runs on six hits with eight strikeouts. However, he did so without being able to effectively use three of his pitches.
"We only had one pitch early on," Bailey said. "My split is so big for me all year. I've gotten a lot of strikeouts with it and a lot of outs with it. We didn't have it today at all. My curveball was up. My slider didn't really have what we wanted it to. But we were able to get people out early and kind of limit damage."
For the season, Bailey is 4-5 with a 3.75 ERA.
Athletics: Griffin seeks first win in six starts
When A.J. Griffin takes the mound against the Reds on Wednesday, he'll look for his first win since May 25 against the Astros.
In the five starts since then, Griffin is 0-3 with a 4.02 ERA. The 25-year-old right-hander took a no-decision in his last outing, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk against the Rangers in 5 1/3 innings -- his second shortest outing of the season.
Griffin, who is 5-6 with a 3.90 ERA on the year, left that game with the A's clinging to a 2-1 lead in the sixth, but the Rangers added a run that was charged to him.
"He gave us 100 pitches and put us in a position where we were ahead, so you can't ask for much more," Melvin said.
Worth noting
• The A's enter Wednesday at 6-2 in Interleague Play this season.
• The Reds have four hits in their last 35 at-bats (.114) with runners in scoring position.
• The A's will make get their first look at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park on Aug. 6-7.

A Connecticut judge has ordered a new trial for Michael Skakel, the nephew of Robert and Ethel Kennedy, who was convicted of murder in 2002.
Skakel was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison and has been fighting for years to have his conviction overturned; his past attempts had been denied.
Skakel, who's spent more than a decade behind bars, was accused of killing 15-year-old neighbor Martha Moxley with a golf club in 1975.
In a lengthy opinion Wednesday, Judge Thomas Bishop criticized defense attorney Michael Sherman, who represented Skakel in the high-profile murder trial.
"Although defense counsel's errors of judgment and execution are not the fault of the state, a defendant's constitutional right to adequate representation cannot be overshadowed by the inconvenience and financial and emotional cost of a new trial," Bishop wrote in his decision.
Skakel's new attorneys had argued that Sherman failed to adequately represent him in court. Sherman did not immediately respond to a request from CNN for comment.
CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin called the order a "shocking development," saying the case "was brilliantly litigated by the prosecutors."
The judge's ruling raises a number of questions: What's next in the high-profile case? Will Skakel be released on bail? And will prosecutors push forward with a new trial, nearly four decades after the alleged slaying?
"Now it is going to be very difficult to try him again, so that's why the prosecutors, I think, are going to do everything in their power to get this conviction reinstated without having to go back to court," Toobin said.
Moxley's body was found after a night of partying with Skakel, his older brother Tommy and other teenagers in an affluent gated community in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Skakel, now 53, was also 15 at the time of the murder. Twenty-seven years later, he was tried and convicted as an adult.
The 1993 best-selling novel "A Season in Purgatory" is based on the case.
