House of Cards has been out for nearly 10 months now and has brought a number of questions my way about when the next book will be available and what direction it will take.
House of Cards wraps up the Legacy of Shadow series in terms of this story and world by laying the groundwork for the events to come. Despite all the chaos and struggle in both Master of the House and House of Cards, these books are the calm before the storm that Dori has warned of since their beginning.
For those following the books or in a less likely instance, following this blog, what I have coming in terms of a continuation of this story and world will really open up the mystery and mythology of these people and places. Envy will begin taking direct action, new heroes will rise up to meet her, and the legacy of a past lost in shadows will be dragged into the light.
The next series going forward will be titled, "The Shadow of the Herald" and the tentative title for the next book will be, "The Second War of Sin". Familiar faces like Dori and Julian will make brief appearances and characters who played a hand in the previous books like Vavian and Sarai will have more of their past revealed. A dangerous female protagonist and her companion, a fallen Templar from Britannia will confront Envy on her own terms with a combination of strength and cunning that the old sin may not be prepared for.
Readers will begin to see more of the King's Realm beyond Seaside, learning of the rigid class structure in the great City State of Britannia as well as the wild and frigid landscape of Keldj where not even the undead can tread the wilderness.
I am very excited to bring this next book forward. It is currently in editing and following that I will begin sending out queries for publication. With this next novel being a clean break from the last, I plan to try for a more traditional publication route. The most common question I had on the previous two books was about paper copies. I've heard the requests and for those interested, it's my #1 issue this time around.
I hope to start updating the site with some relevant content to the next book in the coming weeks. I look forward to any feedback or comments you might have.

The Institute of International Education created the Women's Global Leadership Award to mark its 90th anniversary and presented the inaugural honor at the 90th Anniversary Gala at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City.
The inaugural Women's Global Leadership Award was presented in 2009 to Laya Khadjavi, Roya Khadjavi-Heidari, and Nazgol Saati Shahbazi to honor the many ways in which they and their philanthropy have helped to involve the Iranian community in the U.S. in improving cultural and educational relations between Iran and the United States. The Iran Opportunities Fund, established by these three women alongside IIE Trustee Maryam Panahy Ansary, is a unique public-private partnership dedicated to fostering mutual understanding between the U.S. and Iran through international exchange. To date, more than 25 students from Iran have benefited from this fund during their tenure as Persian Language Teaching Assistants at universities around the United States.
In 2010, IIE presented the award to Denise V. Benmosche and Amy C. Brandt in recognition of their exceptional commitment to advancing IIE's Scholar Rescue Fund (SRF). Both women have played a seminal role in enabling SRF to rescue persecuted scholars from around the globe and advance academic freedom worldwide. Special guest HRH Princess Ghida Talal of Jordan joined IIE Trustee Henry Jarecki in presenting this award.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
On a perfect fall afternoon for football, well perfect for Logan but not for the Spartans, the Logan High Grizzlies ended the 2006 football season for the Emery Spartans with a 34-0 victory in the first round of the state play-offs.
The hopes and spirit of the Spartans disappeared early in the contest as two separate plays went Logan's way rather than the Spartans' way. On the first series of the ball game, Emery faced a fourth and one at their own 35-yard line and punted. Unfortunately the punt was blocked and Logan ran it in for a touchdown. Emery down 6-0.
On the very next series, Emery had advanced from their own 33-yard line to the Logan 39-yard line when again the drive stalled. Emery punted again, Logan fumbled the punt and Emery recovered inside the Logan 20-yard line. Emery ball right, wrong. The back official called a penalty on Emery for contact on a fair catch, ball back to Logan. The call was wrong though. Any contact on the play came from another Grizzly rather than a Spartan. Officials would not talk to the Emery coaching staff about the call. If the ball had gone to Emery, maybe touchdown but instead Logan got the ball. No blocked punt, Emery recovers a fumble and this game could have been different.
Although it is usually hard for a visiting team to pull the upset in play-off football, it does happen. In fact it happened in Emery's same bracket as the fourth seed from Snow Canyon traveled to Park City and handed the Miners their very first loss of the season. Ouch, what a time to lose.
Head Coach Jimmy Jones talked about the game and the season, "The Union game was winnable, we were just flat against them for some reason. It appeared that that was also the case today. We played with so much fire against North Sanpete and then that was it. It was like we accomplished something and there was nothing else left to prove. We didn't block well, we didn't tackle well, that was a problem today."
Logan is a passing team. They like to throw the football and they like to throw it often. Sometimes they send five receivers out in pass patterns and that seemed to confuse the Emery defense.
Most teams that Emery usually plays prefer to run to passing, but not these Grizzlies. In the first half, Logan ran the ball nine times and threw the ball 25 times. They were successful 18 times, including three passes for touchdowns. Logan ran the ball more in the second half as they had the lead and wanted to run time off the clock. It was also the sporting thing to do.
Emery's best series of the day was their first series of the second half when they marched from their own 28-yard line to the Logan 10-yard line. It appeared that Emery got the necessary yardage on a Justice run to pick up a first down at the Logan 9-yard line but the official the spotted the ball missed the mark by about three feet. Again, officials did not want to talk.
Big plays on that series were two Dempsey Jeffs passes. Jeffs completed the first to Ryan Draper for 17 yards and the second to Dave Justice for 15 yards.
With very few seniors on this team, Coach Jones is looking forward to next season with optimism. With his entire offensive and defensive lines coming from the junior class, Jones figures with good off-season practice that next years team should be better. Even though Coach Jones figured that it would take several seasons to get Emery back to playing good football, he felt frustration as the season ended because he knows these guys could have finished better.
Next season probably cannot get here soon enough.

Masterpieces from Mount Stuart | The Bute Collection
- 18th May 2012 − 3rd February 2013 | Scottish National Gallery | Admission free
For the first time in more than 60 years a selection of Old Master Paintings from the famous Bute Collection at Mount Stuart is going on public display in Scotland.
Featuring nineteen Dutch, Flemish, Early Netherlandish, and French pictures, the exhibition includes celebrated landscapes by Aelbert Cuyp and Jacob van Ruisdael, scenes from everyday life by Pieter de Hooch, Gabriel Metsu, and David Teniers as well as portraits by Joos van Cleve, Jacob Jordaens, and Antoine Le Nain.
The Bute Collection was primarily formed in the late eighteenth century by John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute and Prime Minister to George III. It was regarded as the best collection of Dutch and Flemish pictures formed in Britain before the French Revolution. Since the 19th Century, the collection has been housed at Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute.
Mount Stuart
Mount Stuart is a magnificent Victorian Gothic mansion on the Isle of Bute in the Firth of Clyde. Since its opening to the public in 1995, it has been a major visitor attraction in the West of Scotland.

Pros: Natural, Fast, tonally rich, deep bass, seductive mids
Cons: i have to save up for them.
I felt extremely priveledged to be included in the first group of people to hear the long awaited and much anticipated release of Audeze's LCD2. Some history: I am not new to planar magnetic technology and have been an avid fan and disciple of planar magnetic headphones ever since I was lured into the murky waters by the vintage yamaha orthodynamic headphones. If not for the keen efforts of wualta on HeadFi, this dream would most likely not have been realised. I first heard about Audeze when a friend and fellow discple of orthodynamic headphones discovered this small company in California, managed to make contact with them and establish that initial dialogue which brought to us the LCD1 and now the LCD2. I really liked the LCD1, it was my first glimpse at what modern planar drivers were capable of. The LCD1 was a top performer and finally offered a modern headphone that had better performance than the venerable Fostex T50vx. It did most things that one would want from a headphone but finally didn't have the ability to reproduce the bass notes with the authority that they deserved. The LCD1 was
always aimed at being a market entry headphone with limited production, as it used an off the shelf foster frame and cup the biggest weaknss for these drivers in the end as they were more than capable of superb performance. The LCD2 is finally here to continue the promise from this dedicated company. An aside on Audeze - they have been very open to guidance from the experience of the headphone community and have worked hard to address most peoples concerns/requests in their development
process. I would be remiss if I did not mention the HE5 from HeadDirect. This is another planar magnetic headphone which made a surprise appearance at CanJam 09 and has garnered much popularity amongst headphiles. I have had the opportunity to hear 2 versions of this headphone, the earliest suffered some congestion on the bass and a peakiness in the upper mids, the later version had cleaned up the bass with some damping but the peak remained and although it was still a very good headphone, it still needed some fine tuning. I have not yet heard the HE5LE but this was version is supposed to address the concerns noted in the HE5.
Back to the LCD2.

Build quility:
Initial impressions on opening the box were very positive. My review sample did not come in the wooden box but that did not detract from my initial impressions. The black grills against the wood immediately caught my eye , not sure if they had me in mind when they were designing these but they sure had my attention. Weighing in at 1/2kg, these headphones leave you with both visual appeal and a tactile sense of anticipation. The overall engineering is rock solid. Steel sprung headband with metal ratchet type arm adjustments allow for a very sturdy feel. No slipping and no movement once they are positioned where you want them. The foam headband has caused a little stir of dissappointment in the community but make no mistake, they are very comfortable. They do not retain the impression of my sophisticted headphone stand ( a large hand clamp). The cups themselves are solid, lovely wood with a simple finish, as it turns out "Hand selected Caribbean Rosewood". The addition of the mini xlr is a welcome addition and offers an elegant solution to custom cable connectors of many manufacturers. The steel rill is attractive and finishes the overall look of these headphones. Someone described them as "steampunk". The grill trills when you drag a nail over the surface but I cannot hear any resonance concerns with them. They also are able to screw off, allowing the more adventurous to modify and fine tune the sound to their liking. The Pads are substantial and offer great support and seal to create the soundscape that enables notes to be be free and create that ever important soundstage. I was a little concerned about how hard the leather was, but the lambskin do not sweat ( a huge negative of the stock O2 pads ) and they are more comfy than I had anticipated. You are most definitely aware that you are wearing a serious pair of headphones, none of this " I forgot I was even wearing them" but after 3 hours, I still felt comfortable.
I was told that these drivers had only had an hour of play on them and thus I anticipated the need for a little burn in. I naturally could not wait indefinately to hear them and I am not completely sold on the idea of prolonged burn in. To me if it takes 500 hours for a headphone to sound good to you, you have acclimated to the sound signature and learned how to appreciate it. But that is a can of worms for another debate. I had a few hours before I could sit down with them so I put on some white noise and let them warble.
The first night I just sat back and listened to them, I can normally pick up on idiosyncracies pretty quickly with casual listening. Nothing jumped out at me and I thoroughly enjoyed the following 3 hours, would I be a prat to say they had PRaT :).
The next round comprised listening to some white noise, pink noise and frequency sweeps ( stereophile editors choice test CD ) - subjectively there are no peaks, no inconsistencies, white noise is homogenous , it extends both high and low.
Sound impressions:
An emphasis on impressions - subjective attributes based on personal preferences.
I like my headphones to present a detailed top end with air and delicacy. This is evident in most all recordings. Live recordings sound just that, live. The acoustic space and pinpoint timing of a Jazz band is reflected in the percussion, ensuring a particularly intimate experience. Is it the most detailed ortho I have heard, no, some of my orthos are damped to enhance the top end and moving from such an orthodynamic headphone to the LCD2, the initial reduction in top end energy is noticeable but that feeling is soon replced by a sense of overall balance and enjoyment. I am sure there will be some who
would like a more pronounced top end, this is afterall a selfish hobby which promotes personal preferences but for me, these headphones offer a perfectly balanced sound.
The mids are what particularly stand out for me. They have a rich tonal balance with no loss or emphasis, sound "organic" yet are not boring. They have a richness of tone that very few headphones or speakers redropuce, without sounding "lush". There is no hint of sibilance and will bring even the toughest logger to his knees if he hears xxx (insert favourite female vocalist here) Not many headphones reproduce the lower mids well as many headphones have a low mid upper bass bump - this directly impacts on the baritone and can often paint a muddled picture in this department. I listened to an assortment of recordings which focus on the voice within an acoustic space, I wish I could share this experience with you. Just breathtaking and absolutely natural.
The downfall of so many great orthos - do you leave them slightly underdamped so that the bass throbs with a little less control than would be ideal or do you tighten it up so that the bass is several dB down but very tight and accurate. The LCD2 has no problem here - it just keeps going down. The acoustic bass of YoYoMa's cello on the Appalachian Waltz reverberates with multilayered bass that it transfixed me for the moment. I initially thought I heard some low bass warble but it turned out after much listening and reflection that I was hearing bass notes in the music which had never featured in my experience
of the music before. This was only on one particular electronica piece of music which I don't listen to ferquently but does extend the bass notes pretty low. Bach's Toccata's and Fugues sound vivid, Ulanji's bass drum virtuoso is thunderous and never did I feel the bass was congested or lacked definition. Tha bass is tight, punchy, fast and layered with all the texture of the mids. Does it sound as deep as the venerable TP , no, the TP's feel like they have greater impact but they are also closed and lose some of that depth and layering as a consequence.
I have been modifying vintage orthodynamic headphones for some time and have a good feel for what I am trying to achieve when I start out with any given model. The LCD2 accomplishes many of these objectives and manages to retain an open soundstage without compromising the depth of bass extention or delicacy of treble articulation and the mids are just "to die for". I knew that my time was coming to an end with this pair of headphones and my final wow came when I listened to a piece of
Scottish Folk music recorded by Linnrecords , William Jacksons CorryVrechan. It is a very dramatic piece of music with wide dynamic swings, drums, bass, bagpipes, pennywhistle, just a lovely shamble of music. It was the perfect note to finish my experience as it left me feeling invigorated and so completely convinced that these headphones were a must have for my collection. I for one am convinced that this is the advance in magnetic planar technology that I had hoped it would be.

The Nike Zoom Mamba 2 is an ultra-light spike waiting to be unleashed on the track. It's built for the 1,500m to 5,000m.
Perfect for the 1500-5k athlete, the Nike Zoom Mamba 2 is an ultra light distance spike that's waiting to be unleashed on the track. The carbon fiber shank provides lightweight support and the thin breathable upper drains and dries quickly, making it a great choice for the steeplechase. Includes ten 8mm compression-tiered spikes and a spike wrench.
Sizing is based on the men's scale. Women should subtract 1.5 sizes from their women's shoe size. Example: Women's 8 equals size 6.5 for this shoe.
Model Number:
Weight: 3.9 oz (size 9)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Zoom Mamba 2 is a 1,500m to 5,000m distance and steeple chase shoe and is intended for elite level athletes.
Comments: I immediately got home to open these shoes and they look AMAZING! They forgot to send me the spikes, but quickly shipped them in 2 days so I guess thats not bad. I just ran with the Zoom Mamba 2 today (12/6/12) and the feeling is inexplainable. They felt like they just disappeared once I ran and all I could feel was the breeze and the feeling of FAST. I would recommend these shoes to anyone doing the 800m-5k or the steeplechase. The breathability is amazing and I've been getting compliments on the shoe every time I take them for a run. I just wish they were as light as the matumbos (3 oz.) although they are pretty light.
From: Au, Rosemead, CA, USA
Comments: This spike is awesome! I ran in it all season with no problems! The carbon fiber shank is light
and responsive, with lots of bounce during each step! I ran the 800 and 1500, ran a 400, and
high jumped in this shoe. The spike is ridiculously lightweight and is an excellent mid-long
distance spike! I highly recommend it to anyone running any distance higher than 400!

Emily Charnock provides a very insightful post that reveals strong similarities between Super PACs and the various independently organized committees throughout the twentieth century. In other words, we have been here before. These kind of committees typically arise because (a) citizens and groups want to have a voice in picking candidates or shaping policy, and (b) they have been forbidden by law from giving money directly to candidates or political parties. Political reformers concerned about the role of money in politics should rightfully be concerned about how wealth translates into political power. Reformers, however, typically assume there is "too much money" when, in fact, it could easily be argued that there is too little, particularly if we consider the costs of informing and mobilizing voters. This assumption leads to solutions that tend to put limits on contributions that are way too low.Thus, politicians and their supporters have a strong incentive to find methods to get around them. Super PACs are but one manifestation of what happens when rules clamp down overzealously on political money. This faulty assumption leads reformers to believe that politicians can rely solely on small donors exclusively to fuel their campaigns. While the power of the Internet has vastly improved the ability to tap contributions from citizens of modest means, the revenues from this strategy are by no means sufficient to pay for a major campaign. Politicians must supplement their finances with contributions from major donors, political parties and interest groups. By setting low limits on contributions, politicians and their supporters will continually seek other ways of campaigning. Enter the Super PACs. Paradoxically, Super PACs have been able to do what reformers tried to do with public financing of presidential campaigns -- give all candidates a respectable amount of money to run a campaign. As a result, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have had an easier time staying in the hunt during the Republican nomination process, despite the fact that Mitt Romney could vastly overwhelm them both with the money he raises under the traditional financing system with limits on contributions. In other words, Super PACs may help competition by providing second tier candidates and challengers with funds to stay competitive against the establishment candidate. Even if the establishment candidate counter-attacks with his own Super PAC, the challengers have enough money to run a viable campaign. Interestingly, Super PACs may diminish the power of the media, which can extinguish the flow of traditional contributions to a candidate simply by implying he is fatally weakened. Super PACs come to the rescue with an infusion of money that is not as vulnerable to media horserace coverage. But several problems potentially emerge from a reliance on Super PACs. First, there is the perennial question of wealthy interests buying politicians. My sense is that the wealthy individuals supporting the GOP presidential nominees are doing it out of ideological fervor and friendship. And to the extent that corporations are involved, they appear to be privately-held corporations, with executives who have longstanding personal ties to the candidates. For example, many of the corporate contributors to Romney's campaign are former friends with relationships to his company (Bain) or the Mormon Church. To be sure, I do not know how the characteristics of Super PACs donors will change as this campaign vehicle becomes institutionalized. We may in fact see more corporations getting involved, just like they did with traditional PACs. To my mind, a larger problem is that the money is flowing through unaccountable organizations with opaque names, like "Red, White and Blue." Voters do not know these organizations. It would be better if these funds flowed directly to the candidate and the political parties. Reforms such as McCain-Feingold and, before that, the Federal Election Campaign Act, stimulated the proliferation of independent groups and weakened the central role of parties in financing elections. Parties have a unique role in organizing elections from year to year, and have strong incentives to finance challengers as way of winning majorities in legislatures. Moreover, as organizations comprised of coalitions they are not necessarily beholden to one large financier or ideological faction. The current system of Super PACs will proliferate. Many more members of Congress will surely form their own Super PAC, or else they will be forced to spend more than half their week raising money the old-fashioned way, under laws with strict limits on contributions. It's probably time to raise those limits. It's also time to bring back soft money for political parties. McCain-Feingold was a mistake. With some reasonable limits on soft money the political parties would carve out a stronger and more accountable role in federal campaigns. Super PACs might then become less enticing for politicians.

Kinematic Models
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, physical models were widely used by mathematics educators to depict a wide range of mathematical ideas in three dimensions. Most models were constructed in Europe, in particular Germany, for use in school and college instruction. These models could be static or articulated (movable). They were used to show mathematical surfaces and curves as well as other mathematical concepts useful to mathematicians, engineers and scientists. As more and more American institutions added mathematical models to their collections, American firms grew up to supply this growing demand. By World War I interest in these physical models waned, and most were relegated to closets and basements. But with the advent of computer graphics systems, the interest in physical mathematical models is returning.
|Conic Section Model, ca 1900. Object 1979.3002.021, Smithsonian Image DOR2013-17883.
The vast majority of mathematical models made around the turn of the 20th century were static (not able to be manipulated) and made of wood, paper or plaster. The paper models of American mathematician A. Harold Wheeler are a prime example. A common model still used in many high schools is the wooden or plaster cone used to show how the conic sections (circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola) arise from slicing a cone at different angles to its axis.
Less common are kinematic models. These devices depict mathematical concepts that involve motion. The models can be manipulated through the use of cranks and hinges and were usually constructed of metal, most often brass.
The most widely used kinematic model of the time was the linkage. A linkage is a device made of hinged armatures linked at pivot points to allow the whole assembly to move and deform in order to transform one type of movement into another. The most common and useful linkages are those that transform circular movement into linear movement, known as inversors. Circular motion is easy to produce using any sort of wheel device. However, true linear or straight line motion is not. To create linear motion, the circular motion of a crankshaft needs to be transformed into straight line motion. A common example of the conversion between linear and rotary motion is found in internal combustion engines. The piston's linear motion is converted into the rotary motion of the crank shaft, which is in turn transmitted to the wheels. In 1784, Scottish engineer James Watt developed a system of rods and pins that allowed the pistons in his steam engines to exert force on both the downward and upward stroke of the piston (as opposed to in just one direction as in previous designs). This led to many advances in engineering. However, Watt's design did not create exact linear motion. Along with straight line motion, linkages can generate oscillating motion from circular motion, again useful in engineering.
The second types of kinematic models are those that generate curves, which are used in diverse theoretical and engineering processes. Starting in the 17th century, one of the most studied types of curves has been the trochoids; curves that are generated by tracing the motion of a point on the radius of a circle as it rolls along another curve. Included in the family of trochoids are the cycloids (a circle rolling along a straight line), epitrochoids (a circle rolling around the outside of another circle) and the hypotrochoids (a circle rolling around the inside of another circle). The popular Spirograph drawing toy produces various trochiods.
|The Spirograph toy produced by Hasbro was created by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965 (object 2005.0055.02)
These types of curves have applications in engineering with respect to the workings of gears and motors, as well as answer interesting questions in mathematics, physics and engineering. In particular, gear teeth shaped using cycloidal and involute curves reduce friction and torque, allowing gears to rotate more efficiently.
During the second half of the 19th century, mathematical models for use in teaching became very popular. One of the most prominent producers (known as publishers) of models for commercial use was the firm of Ludwig Brill of Darmstadt, Germany. In 1899 Martin Schilling took over and expanded the business from Brill. The kinematic models in the Smithsonian's collection housed at the National Museum of American History were produced by the firm of Martin Schilling. His firm produced numerous types of mathematical models, including twelve kinematic models of which the Smithsonian presently has ten. Originally located in Halle, Germany, the firm moved to Leipzig sometime after 1903. The kinematic models were designed by German mathematician Frederick Schilling (1868—1950), professor of mathematics at Göttingen, who became the scientific director of the company. The kinematic models are listed in the 1911 Schilling Catalog mathematischer Modelle, Leipzig. This catalog lists 377 items divided into forty series or types of models. Series XXIV consists of Kinematic models (Kinematische Modelle), models of movement. This series is divided into 4 groups:
Group 1 (models No 1-4): Trochiods (Epitrochoid and Hypotrochoid)
Group 2 (models No 5-7); Cyclic curves (including cycloids)
Group 3 (models No 8, 9): Twin cranks
Group 4 (models No 10-12): Inversors by Peaucellier, Hart, and Sylverster and Kempe
All of the Schilling models in the NMAH collection, with the exception of the Peaucellier Inversor, were given to the Smithsonian by the University of Michigan's Department of Mathematics in 1964. The Peaucellier Inversor came to the museum from Brown University in 1973.

Peaucellier Inversor, Kinematic Model by Martin Schilling, series 24, model 10, number 349
- Description
- Around 1900, American mathematicians introduced ideas to their students using physical models like this one. This model is the tenth in a series of kinematic models sold by the German firm of Schilling to show a mechanical method for generating mathematical curves.
- Linkages are joined rods that move freely about pivot points. A pair of fireplace pincers is an example of a very simple linkage. Producing straight line motion was an important component of many machines. But producing true linear motion is very difficult. One area of research during the 19th century was to use linkages to produce linear motion from circular motion. In this context "inverse" is a geometric term that refers to the process of using algebra and trigonometry to convert or invert one geometric shape into another. In this case, the inverse of the circle will be a straight line. So an "inversor" is a device that finds the inverse of a geometrical object: the conversion of a circle to a straight line in the case of this model.
- In 1864 French engineer Charles Nicolas Peaucellier (1832-1913) created a seven-bar linkage which succeeded in producing pure linear motion. Since then, such seven-bar linkages are often referred to as "Peaucellier cells" or a "Peaucellier's inversor." His discovery was the first solution of what was referred to as the problem of parallel motion: converting rotational to linear motion using only "rods, joints and pins."
- This linkage is constructed of seven metal armatures (two longer arms of 15 cm, four shorter arms of 5 cm) hinged so as to create a kite shape with a rhombus (diamond) shape at the top of the kite. This horizontal assembly is then attached to a central vertical axis that is rotated by turning a crank below the baseplate. Fingerholds are attached to the two primary hinge points to allow the linkage to be articulated from above. Below these fingerholds are metal points used to trace the motion of the linkage on the paper.
- The bottom (tail end) of the kite is fixed on a circle. As the dial is turned or the fingerholds are moved, the point internal to the linkage traces the circle, resulting in the point at the top of the kite tracing a straight line. The seven-bar linkage works by keeping one end of the linkage (the tail end of the kite) fixed on a circle. As the center point traces around the circle, the point at the opposite end of the linkage (the top of the kite) traces a straight line. The German title for this model is: Inversor von Peaucellier 1864.
- This model is marked Halle a.S., but this is lined through and has a Leipzig stamp. In or after 1903 Schilling moved the business from Halle to Leipzig. On top of the mounting plate is an aged paper sheet showing the name and maker of the linkage. Printed on the paper are a black circle and a red circle to show the circular path; a red curve; and, what was most likely a black linear path, but which is now worn through the paper with use.

A few weeks ago, I opened my mailbox to reveal a slender brown box. Elated, I rushed into my apartment and tore into the packaging. I oohed and ahhed as I pulled out a sleek charcoal device, complete with a 6″ eInk display; it was the new $109 keyboard-less Kindle ($79 if you get the version with Ads). Since then, I have been tirelessly reading, downloading, researching, and just plain playing with it.
The reading process has, thus far, been my absolute favourite aspect of this Kindle. The beautiful six-inch display appears more paper-like than any eInk screen that I have seen to date. Page turning is very smooth and the buttons are well-located, if a bit difficult to push sometimes. The other buttons are central and perfectly responsive, making highlighting easy.
Along with reading, my eBook buying experience has been quite delightful. The Kindle's store is easy to search or browse. The category filtering, thumbnail displays, and reviews appear as eInk versions of what would appear when searching the Kindle Store on a computer. The one drawback of the shopping experience is that the lack of a keyboard or touchscreen makes typing somewhat difficult; however, the quick-loading search suggestions often negate the necessity of the keyboard altogether.
Unlike in the past, buying eBooks is not the only way to get them onto the Kindle. ePub library books are now available from 11,000 American public libraries. The major issue with this is that the eBooks cannot be downloading directly onto the Kindle, but they can be easily transferred from a computer. There are thousands of titles available for free for a temporary period, making reading even more accessible.
Amazon also offers an alternative library for Amazon Prime members. It is a fantastic paid service, allowing members to borrow books without due dates and get other exceptional deals from Amazon.
Another way to view files on the Kindle is by viewing .PDF files. While screen rotation, brightness, and zoom are all adjustable, most .PDFs simply do not look right on the Kindle. Pictures are grayscaled and made to look grainy on the eInk screen and words within comic books and brochures are nearly always too distorted or small to read.
Finally, the Kindle has games, applications, and an experimental browser. These features all give the Kindle a well-roundedness. The Kindle has always been viewed as purely an eReader, but since the release of the Kindle Fire and these features, the image of the Kindle is changing, but this Kindle is lacking the ability to listen to music. That could be a step in the wrong direction for Amazon.
The applications and games available for the Kindle are similar to what applications and games are available for other tablets and smartphones, but with less animation. Amazon has focused these apps around reading, writing, and expanding your mind. Moving back and forth between the apps and eBooks is seamless; however, the browser does have some issues and without a keyboard, it is practically unusable.
The new Kindle has been altogether a surprisingly useful device, with far more features and functionality than I had expected. While the device definitely has its flaws, I cannot say that I regret buying it. Anyone who is seeking a fantastic eReader with great usability and a clear, beautiful display will be delighted with the new Kindle.

Italy ran in nine tries to hammer Russia 53-17 in a rather one-sided World Cup Pool C encounter in Nelson on Tuesday.
Italy ran in nine tries to hammer Russia 53-17 in a rather one-sided World Cup Pool C encounter at Trafalgar Park in Nelson on Tuesday.
The result means Italy move level with Australia on five points in a pool that could have a massive impact on the make up of the play-offs.
The Russian scrum was moving in reverse as soon as the ref said 'engage', meaning the Italian backs had plenty of quality first-phase ball to work with – and they used to deadly effect.
The World Cup newcomers put on a gallant display against the USA last week but were simply outclassed by a more experienced, more clinical side.
It wasn't all bad news for the Russians, who scored three good tries – their first in World Cup competition – in an entertaining game.
Six first-half tries gave Italy a 38-7 lead at the break with wing Giulio Toniolatti grabbing two and referee Wayne Barnes awarding a penalty try against the Russian scrum.
Centre Tommaso Benvenuti added his second after the restart as Nick Mallett's side touched down three more times to break to the 50-point barrier in a more evenly-contested second half.
It took just six minutes for Italy to open the scoring as skipper Sergio Parisse crossed at the end of a flowing move.
It was one-way traffic for most of the rest of the half with Toniolatti, Benvenuti and scrum-half Edoardo Gori following their captain's example.
Russia did manage to sneak a try, with scrum-half Alexander Yanyushkin striking with a sniping run immediately after Italy were reduced to fourteen when hooker Fabio Ongaro saw yellow for a late tackle.
It was much the same for Italy at the start of the second half as wing Luke McLean and replacement flank Alessandro Zanni drove the Azzurri's advantage home.
But Russia finished strongly as they chased a four-try bonus point. It wasn't to be, but well-taken tries from wing Vladimir Ostroushko and centre Alexey Makovetskiy were just reward for the Bears' hard work.
Man of the match: He only played 56 minutes before being pulled off and wrapped in cotton wool, but Sergio Parisse was phenomenal, scoring one try and having a hand in creating three more. Pure class. A mention too for his opposite number, Victor Gresev, who worked tirelessly.
Moment of the match: Parisse's try had the Bears on the ropes and Giulio Toniolatti's first try gave the Italians a healthy lead. Not only was it a wonderful try to watch, but it effectively ended any suspends regarding the result.
Villain of the match: No bad guys tonight.
The scorers:
For Italy:
Tries: Parisse, Toniolatti 2, Benvenuti 2, penalty try, Gori, McLean, Zanni
Cons: Bocchino 4
For Russia:
Tries: Yanyushkin, Ostroushko, Makovetskiy
Con: Rachkov
Yellow card: Ongaro (Italy – 32nd min – late tackle)
Italy: 15 Andrea Masi, 14 Giulio Toniolatti, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Matteo Pratichetti, 11 Luke McLean, 10 Riccardo Bocchino, 9 Edoardo Gori, 8 Sergio Parisse (capt), 7 Mauro Bergamasco, 6 Paul Derbyshire, 5 Marco Bortolami, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 3 Lorenzo Cittadini, 2 Fabio Ongaro, 1 Salvatore Perugini.
Replacements: 16 Tommaso D'Apice, 17 Martin Castrogiovanni, 18 Cornelius van Zyl, 19 Alessandro Zanni, 20 Pablo Canavosio, 21 Luciano Orquera, 22 Alberto Sgarbi.
Russia: 15 Igor Klyuchnikov, 14 Vasily Artemyev, 13 Andrey Kuzin, 12 Alexey Makovetskiy, 11 Vladimir Ostroushko, 10 Konstantin Rachkov, 9 Alexander Shakirov, 8 Victor Gresev , 7 Andrey Garbuzov, 6 Vyacheslav Grachev , 5 Adam Byrnes, 4 Alexander Voytov, 3 Ivan Prishchepenko, 2 Vladislav Korshunov (c), 1 Vladimir Botvinnikov
Replacements: 16 Valery Tsnobiladze, 17 Alexander Khrokin, 18 Denis Antonov, 19 Artem Fatakhov, 20 Alexander Yanyushkin, 21 Mikhail Sidorov, 22 Yury Kushnarev.

St. Paul, Minn.
As the old saying goes, "If you need something done, ask a busy person."
Just ask Jennifer (Larsen) '99 and Peter Newburg '97. They balance careers; two young children, Elsie and George; and meaningful volunteer work for organizations that have come to rely on their passion. Yet Jen and Pete are quick to lend a hand and pointedly accurate in their advice and encouragement, whether it be to their church, Pilgrim Lutheran in St. Paul, Minn.; Luther; or the Rose Ensemble—an internationally renowned, early music ensemble where Jen serves as chair of the board of directors.
As professionals and volunteers, the Newburgs appreciate having an opportunity to work hard to get the jobs done. "I think it's just what we love," says Jen. "It's not about the role or the title; it's about being able to really get something done. We like seeing things get accomplished."
In response to the new strategic plan, Transformed by the Journey, and the corresponding goals for The Sesquicentennial Fund, they say, "We think the college is on the right track, and we believe in Luther's leadership."
Helping Luther accomplish its goals is their motivation for donating to the college at the President's Council level year after year. Jen explained, "We know our gifts to the Annual Fund afford the college the most flexibility for our donation." In addition to the Annual Fund, the Newburgs have supported the Accenture Scholarship at Luther, knowing their gifts are matched by the Accenture Foundation.
Generous financial contributions are not the only ways the Newburgs serve Luther—Jen is a co-class agent for the class of 1999, and the couple has served as event hosts and offered their insights for ways to better engage young alumni in the Twin Cities.
Jen and Pete Newburg are always giving, always thankful, and know what it takes to get the job done.

The Emery County Cycling Association (MECCA) presented the 17th annual San Rafael Mountain Bike Festival on May 16-18. It all began with registration at 1 p.m. on May 16, at the John Wesley Powell Museum in Green River. After that the entire group of about 110 riders took a ride out toward the airport - FM Hill. This ride was followed by a spaghetti dinner and prize drawing. All riders received a prize.
The grand prizes included three new bicycles, a weeks stay in a condominium and a travel package worth over $100 from the Castle Country Travel Bureau. After a big breakfast on Saturday the riders split up to do their choice of four different desert rides. Each ride was lead by local guides (MECCA members) and followed by a support wagon with bike tools, supplies, and ice water.
The Emery County Sheriff's Posse cooked their famous Dutch oven dinner that evening and the group heard a few words from Mayor Glen Johnson of Green River, Drew Sitterud and Gary Kofford, Emery County commissioners. Sunday began with a continental breakfast followed by a final ride down Black Dragon. Every rider reported they had a wonderful time. There were even fewer injuries this year than usual, just a few scrapes and bruises.

William Rodney "Harley" McNee, 52, lived in Washington, Utah and peacefully rode off on his Harley early in the morning of March 17, 2012.
Harley was born May 29, 1959 in Murray, Utah to the proud parents of William Ray and Gladys P. McNee. Harley grew up a Marine Corps "brat." As early as 3 years old he was following his father's footsteps by standing at attention and saluting the American flag. Harley's passion was to spend endless hours on his bike enjoying what he called "Cycle Therapy." Harley spent 20 years as a coal miner in southern Utah. Harley will always be known for his great generosity and kind heart.
Harley is survived by his parents Ray and Gladys McNee; brothers Steve McNee, Matt McNee, and his sister Teresa "Reese" (Rob) Gregory; daughters Michelle (Mike) Golay, and Chelsea McNee; nephews, Jace Gregory, Trevor (Lynde) Komar, Matthew Thomas Ray McNee; nieces Tatia (Nick) Drage, Adrian (Marc) Jensen, McKayla McNee, Jalen Gregory, and Coco McNee.
Harley was blessed with many loyal friends and will be sorely missed on the open road.
Preceded in death by grandparents George and Maude Taylor, and Laura Mortensen.
A viewing will be held Tuesday March 20, 2012 at 11 a.m. at Heideman Hughes Mortuary, 1081 E. 700 S., St. George, Utah followed by a service at noon. Graveside service immediately following at Washington City Cemetery.
Everyone is welcome to come for lunch and share your memories of Harley.
The Last Ride
My ride here may be over
but a new ride has begun.
I speed on through the heavens
on my final glorious run.
My time with you was far too short
but we will be once again-
Just listen and you'll hear my pipes
when your last ride begins.

The purpose of this thread is to serve as a main index for all of the important and structured threads in the Drugstore/Grocery B&M Deals forum. Think of it as your one-stop-shopping thread where you can quickly get links to all of the information you need to save money at your local drugstore or grocery store!Who maintains this thread?
You do! Everything indexed in this thread will be contained in the wiki posts below. If you see something here that needs updating, please edit the appropriate wiki. If you are not comfortable with editing the wikis, please post in this thread and ask for help and another user or a DS/GS forum moderator will be happy to help you.What information can be found here?

DS'ers! We need your help!
The times are changing, and we are going to try something new in this forum. We want YOU to write the rules! We have a set of site wide rules which governs everyone who has an account here at Slickdeals, but often our sub-forums require some additions that just don't pertain to the rest of the site. This is your opportunity to provide input on how you would like your favorite sub-forum to be run!
To start things off, I have three guidelines to offer in this endeavor:
- The rules must be focused on improving the user experience in a friendly manner.
- The rules should be easy to understand for new members and seasoned regulars alike.
- Keep in mind that Slickdeals.net is not responsible for enforcing individual store policies, so the rules should not be geared toward doing so.
For sake of reference, here are the current rules which will continue to apply while we work together to create a new, simpler set of rules that will help foster a friendly environment for everyone.
There is now in place a change to the previous wiki rules.
Wiki's are vital tools for sharing information. The very purpose of their design is to be free for anyone to edit them. Users should never be chastised for sharing information in the wikis.
The only thing a thread starter has control over is their own post and the request for thread removal. All wikis, with the exception of the printable coupons thread in this forum, may be edited by anyone.
Why is the printables wiki an exception? Because it is being used as a database and has documented data loss. The good news is that we are working on a solution.

What happened to slayers thread that he created for this purpose?
Here is the wording from Slayers' previous rules:
Wiki's that are confirmed to be off limits to regular users:
1. Printable Manufacturer's Coupon Compilation
2. Kroger Deals
3. Alphabetical List of Unexpired Newspaper Coupons
4. Official PUBLIX (AL, FL, GA, SC, TN) Deals Thread. No OT please! (2nd wiki only)
If a wiki is confirmed to be off limits to regular users, it means you cannot edit the wiki and it must be done by a special team member. In these threads you are to post in the thread and ask for information to be added to the wiki. These are threads where the OP and special team members are very active in helping to keep the wiki organized and up to date.
These coupon threads exist in multiple forums as well so that is something to consider.
With the wiki though, anyone can edit them if they were so inclined.
I do like the idea of a standard though.
When we brought slayers on, he and I at one time discussed switching over to a wiki format, but eventually decided against it for reasons long forgotten. Rules have changed over time, and the index became harder and harder to manage. Slayers preferred the individual stickies and managed the forum that way, and now that he is gone we're going back to my original index, but this time leveraging the power of the wikis which should make it easier on everyone.
I didn't know that there was an announcement that slayers left. I thought it was just cruel joke.
RE: stickies, that's why the DS thread doesn't look the same tonight as it has... The new Q users thread is missing for me.
If someone with demonstrated ability is interested in learning to help you keep up, I assume that the three of you would amicable to working with them? I am not referring to anyone specific here, just a general question.

We do have the Coupon Barcode Basics thread, but Slayers closed it a while back and while it is an important thread that definitely needs to stick around, it has some conflicting info in it. With the influx of new q shoppers (thanks TLC ), we have lots of folks trying coupons without knowing what they are doing, and making lots of mistakes...which reflects poorly on the rest of us. I'd love to have one place for all the rules as they pertain specifically to coupons and their usage (I'd even be happy to host it/put it together/assist with compiling/whatever).
Thoughts on this? Anyone?
Would it kill you to read the wiki? Or to read the thread? All the experts got to where they are by reading...you can too.
