Wolfheart Book 17

In the wake of the Cataclysm, the conflict has engulfed every corner of Azeroth. Hungering for more resources amid the turmoil, the Horde has pressed into Ashenvale to feed its burgeoning war machine. There, acting warchief Garrosh Hellscream has employed a brutal new tactic to conquer the region and crush its night elf defenders, a move that will cripple the Alliance's power throughout the World of Warcraft. Unaware of the disaster brewing in Ashenvale, the night elves' legendary leaders, High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind and Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage conduct a summit near Darnassus in order to vote the proud worgen of Gilneas into the Alliance. However, resentment of Gilneas and its ruler, Genn Greymane, runs deep in Stormwind's King Varian Wrynn. His refusal to forgive Genn for closing his nation off from the rest of the world years ago endangers more than just the summit: it threatens to unravel the Alliance itself.


Varian's animosity is only one of many unsettling developments in Darnassus. An uneasiness creeps over the once-immortal night elves as the first of them fall victim to the infirmities of age. While they cope with their mortality, tensions flare over the reintroduction of the Highborne, formerly the highest caste of night elf nobility, into their society. Many night elves are unable to pardon the Highborne for the destruction unleashed on Azeroth millennia ago by their reckless use of magic.


When a murdered Highborne is discovered on the outskirts of Darnassus, Malfurion and Tyrande move to stop further bloodshed and unrest by appointing one of the night elves' most cunning and skilled agents to find the killer: the renowned warden Maiev Shadowsong. Yet with all that is transpiring in Darnassus, the Alliance might be powerless to stop the relentless new warchief Garrosh from seizing the whole of Ashenvale.

Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects Book 16

When Azeroth was young, the noble titans appointed the five great dragonflights to safeguard the budding world. Each of the flights' leaders was imbued with a portion of the titans' vast cosmic powers. Together, these majestic Dragon Aspects committed themselves to thwarting any force that threatened the safety of the WORLD OF WARCRAFT.


Over ten thousand years ago, a betrayal by the maddened black Dragon Aspect, Deathwing, shattered the strength and unity of the dragonflights. His most recent assault on Azeroth—the Cataclysm—has left the world in turmoil. At the Maelstrom, the center of Azeroth's instability, former Horde warchief Thrall and other accomplished shaman struggle to keep the world from tearing apart in the wake of Deathwing's attack. Yet a battle also rages within Thrall regarding his new life in the shamanic Earthen Ring, hampering his normally unparalleled abilities.


Unable to focus on his duties, Thrall undertakes a seemingly menial task from an unexpected source: the mysterious green Dragon Aspect, Ysera. This humble endeavor soon becomes a journey spanning the lands of Azeroth and the time ways of history itself, bringing Thrall into contact with ancient dragonflights. Divided by conflict and mistrust, these dragons have become easy prey to a horrific new weapon unleashed by Deathwing's servants... a living nightmare engineered to exterminate Azeroth's winged guardians.


Of even greater concern is a bleak and terrifying possible future glimpsed by Ysera: the Hour of Twilight. Before this apocalyptic vision comes to pass, Thrall must purge his own doubts in order to discover his purpose in the world and aid Azeroth's dragonflights as they face the Twilight of the Aspects.

This is my experience with Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710

Attention this article only deals with the Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710 trying.

I really liked the feel of him in my hand their dimensions are 130 x 70 x 10 mm (5.12 x 2.76 x 0.39 in) are very comfortable, perhaps something great for people with small hands and thr weight is very light only weight 130 g (4.59 oz)






 Its screen is Super AMOLED Plus multi-touch screen, 16M colors and 480 x 800 esolution pixels (~ 206 ppi pixel density) for my taste pixel density is low. Now I can confirm after happened to me 2 times the protection Corning Gorilla Glass is not perfect and breaks almost as easily.






 Comes with the operating system Android v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) something that disappointed me a lot but they let us upgrade to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean has a chip Exynos dual-core 1.2 GHz and it shows special mind to play.

One thing I love is its internal memory of 16 GB yes you are reading well, but 1 GB of RAM is a little short for my taste also has a microSD card slot, which can be up to 32 GB.

Ok now camera primary is 8 MP, 3264 x 2448 pixels, autofocus, Geo-tagging, touch focus, face / smile detection and LED flash, allows us to meka video up to 1080p @ 30fps, is one of the first devices offering Mobile High-Definition Link (Mobile High-Definition Link),  which allows video output uncompressed 1080p HDMI while charging the device at the same time. Now the secondary camera is only 2 MP is it the minimum acceptable.


As connections we have the possibility of Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, access point; Host WiMax. A Bluetooth v3.0, A2DP, apt-X. A-GPS and USB v2.0 microUSB (MHL TV-output)

Has a good photo and video editor.

Now the battery go so fast, I do not know exactly why, it comes with a Li-Ion 1800 mAh and buy 2450mAh battery lasts me more but even if it devours not expect to find 8 hours they promise.

It has buttons for volume, options, home, back, search and off, on and standby.

USB 3.0



USB 3.0
Hi, fellows of Cyberspace, today I want to talk about USB 3.0 and several of its improvements, let us start.
In view of the fact that between 2004 and 2006 came the first external hard drives, allowing storage on Gigabyte and Terabyte, it was clear that USB 2.0 technology, which gave us a speed of 480 Mbit / s would soon be very slow, to This amount of data.
Therefore, in November of 2008 appears in the market the USB 3.0, with the main feature that is the multiplication by 10 of the transfer speed, which happens to be of 4.8 Gbit / s, to this new technology is called; USB 3.0 Super Speed. This is because now the cables allow working with five lines to send and two to receive, allowing bidirectional traffic.
It has also changed the current, which is now 900 milliamps, reducing the charging time of mobile devices.
These new ports have the intelligence rule, that if devices that are connected for a while and are inactive, they immediately go to a low power state.
At the end of 2009, manufacturers such as Asus or Gigabyte presented the basis of the forms with this new revision of the bus. The 3.0 version of this universal connector is 10 times faster than the previous one.
Now 3.0 ports have a light blue color to differentiate them from 2.0 ports
Where you can see a big change is in USB 3.0 Micro-B - The sidecar:
The only solution for USB 3.0 had a smaller connector. It was to take the existing Micro-B connector and stick another connector next to it. This appeared mostly on external hard drives, as they needed more current. The popular theory is that this format will be replaced very quickly by Type-C.
This connector is compatible with USB 1.x and 2.x always losing the advantages of USB 3.0

USB 2.x



USB 2.x

Hi fellows of Cyberspace, today I want to talk about USB 2.x and several of its improvements, let's start off

Well it has only been 6 years since the introduction of USB 1.x and we get USB 2.0 it was released in April 2000, which is already another level. It has a speed of 480 Mbit / s which is called High Speed or High Bandwidth.
The qualities and utilities of USB 2.0 will always be improved and will find new options for it  for the next 10 years, we will not stop having surprises, detail some of the most important for me.

In October of 2000, it seems the mini ports A and B, this also introduced the terminal for On-The-Go. That accepted both terminals.
In May of 2002, appear what for me is a good advance for this type of connection Pull-up / Pull-down ECN.
In May of 2003 we have ECN Interfaces that greatly improve communication between terminals, as it added a new standardized descriptor that allowed multiple interfaces to single device function.
In October 2003, we have Rounded Chamfer ECN, which was nothing more than making retroactive changes to the Mini-B connectors which results in much longer lasting connectors.
In March 2006, sees the Inter-Chip USB Supplement something that was very useful for mobile technology.
In December of 2006, we said goodbye to the host for USB, thanks to the supplement On-The-Go 1.3
Nevertheless, it was in April 2007 that introduced battery charging technology 1.1 that allowed a USB host that can act as chargers
In addition, this April brought us the cables and connectors Micro USB 1.01
In July of the same year, we saw as the dream came to USB ports. Devices in this state did not reduce power consumption. However, switching between enabled and idle states is much faster than switching between enabled and suspended states, allowing devices to sleep while idle.

The Survivors of the Chancellor by Jules Verner

Mr. Kazallon thought that booking passage on a cargo ship from Charleston to Liverpool would be a charming way to return to his English homeland. If only he knew! A crazed sea captain, a disaster in the hold, storms, oppressive heat, sharks and starvation are just some of the many travails that will beset both passengers and crew. Will any of them survive the wreck of the Chancellor?

This book takes away the desire to be a shipwreck, it describes one misfortune after another, when I finished the book I felt exhausted

As an interesting note

In season four of the TV series Lost, a minor character named Regina is shown reading The Survivors of the Chancellor.

In the movie Hawaii, Eugenio gives Martin a Spanish translation of the book, “El Chancellor” to read.

The Underground City por Jules Verne

 How can humans survive and prosper 1,500 feet below the earth's surface? Jules Verne successfully weaves a dark yet magnificent story into this equally dark world. The story takes place in a revived and now prosperous coal mine. Amazingly, life in the mine has everything that one desires, including a lake, fish and attractive homes. Yet there lurks an evil presence. Unexplainable, malicious, and life-threatening occurrences begin. But why? The evil force could destroy the underground world and everyone in it!

Art of War by Niccolò Machiavelli

Niccolo Machiavelli's Art of War is one of the world's great classics of military and political theory. Praised by the finest military minds in history and said to have influenced no lesser lights than Frederick the Great and Napoleon, the Art of War is essential for anyone who wants to understand the history and theory of war in the West and for those familiar with The Prince and Discourse on Livy who seek to explore more fully the connection between war and politics in Machiavelli's thought.


Machiavelli scholar Christopher Lynch offers a sensitive and entirely new translation of the Art of War, faithful to the original but rendered in modern, idiomatic English. Lynch's fluid translation helps listeners appreciate anew Machiavelli's brilliant treatments of the relationships between war and politics, civilians and the military, and technology and tactics. Clearly laying out the fundamentals of military organization and strategy, Machiavelli marshals a veritable armory of precepts, prescriptions, and examples about such topics as how to motivate your soldiers and demoralize the enemy's, avoid ambushes, and gain the tactical and strategic advantage in countless circumstances. To help listeners better appreciate the Art of War, Lynch provides an insightful introduction that covers its historical and political context, sources, influence, and contemporary relevance. He also includes a substantial interpretive essay discussing the military, political, and philosophical aspects of the work.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu

 The Art of War is traditionally ascribed to Sun Tzu. It presents a philosophy of war for managing conflicts and winning battles. It is accepted as a masterpiece on strategy and has been frequently cited and referred to by generals and theorists since it was first published, translated, and distributed internationally.


There are numerous theories concerning when the text was completed and concerning the identity of the author or authors, but archeological recoveries show The Art of War had taken roughly its current form by at least the early Han period. Because it is impossible to prove definitively when the Art of War was completed before this date, the differing theories concerning the work's author or authors and date of completion are unlikely to be completely resolved. Some modern scholars believe that it contains not only the thoughts of its original author but also commentary and clarifications from later military theorists, such as Li Quan and Du Mu.


Sun Tzu's Art of War has influenced many notable figures. The Chinese historian Sima Qian recounted that China's first historical emperor, Qin's Shi Huangdi, considered the book invaluable in ending the time of the Warring States. In the 20th century, the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong partially credited his 1949 victory over Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang to The Art of War. The work strongly influenced Mao's writings about guerrilla warfare, which further influenced communist insurgencies around the world.
