Copyright Policy
In case one of your components has been reported for copyright violation and it is discovered to be a valid infringement upon investigation, the following penalties will be applied:
1. If this is your first reported component, then:
- The file in case will be removed from DevelopGo.com or developgo.com.
- You will be forbidden to access your author account for a period of two weeks.
- You will pay a $300 fine, detained from your sales.*
- The profit generated from the sales of the product(s) reported for copyright violation will be detained.*
- All of your other components from the website will continue to be sold.
In case you don't have that amount in your account, it will be detained from you future sales.
2. If this is your second deflection, then all the penalties from 1. will be applied, with the mention that instead of a $300 fine, you will pay a $1000 fine, detained from your sales.
Please read carefully the definition of copyright for a better understanding.
"Copyright is a form of intellectual property that gives the author of an original work exclusive right for a certain time period in relation to that work, including its publication, distribution and adaptation, after which time the work is said to enter the public domain. [...] Some jurisdictions also recognize "moral rights" of the creator of a work, such as the right to be credited for the work. Copyright is described under the umbrella term intellectual property along with patents and trademarks.[...] Copyright has been internationally standardized, lasting between fifty to a hundred years from the author's death, or a shorter period for anonymous or corporate authorship. [...] Generally, copyright is enforced as a civil matter, though some jurisdictions do apply criminal sanctions." You can find the full definition on Wikipedia.
Regarding the Flash, JavaScript, HTML5, jQuery, WordPress and other web design creations, copyright applies to both design and source code of the creation. Therefore, if the design idea or the functionality of the creation or both are copied, then we consider that we're dealing with a copyright infringement case. We also consider copyright infringement if the design or the functionality of the Flash product resemble in a high percentage with another design product or interactive design product created before.
Depending on the gravity of the copyright infringement, the author can be excluded from the DevelopGo.com or developgo.com Network. In case the amounts mentioned above cannot be recuperated from the author's sales, by accepting the website's terms and conditions, the author is obliged to pay all the penalties himself, otherwise we will take legal actions to recover the debts.
The author must continue with his normal activity, and it case he refuses to offer support to his current customers, the penalty is twice as big as the above mentioned penalties. If the author is not excluded from the DevelopGo.com or developgo.com Network, he then has the right to continue uploading his components to our website.
Informative links:
The DevelopGo.com or FlashComponent.net marketplace is only an intermediate between authors and buyers, so we shall not be held responsible for issuing or remitting formal invoices to the buyers. Under the terms of the Legal Act, the author should make invoices available to the buyers. This applies to self-employer persons that can also legally issue bills. Authors have the possibility, from their personal accounts, to issue bills to customers.
Invoices will contain the names of the products sold, the quantity, invoice amount, name, and other identifying information of both authors and buyers. The selling invoices generated automatically by our system will be available in your DevelopGo.com or developgo.com account (My account-> Financial-> Invoices-> For Buyers/ For Me). Invoices can be printed and/or saved in a .pdf format.

text: Hi, all! I put up a separate blog for all of my travel-related posts. It is not an attempt to become a travel blogger but just an attempt to share as much information as I know to other people who might be interested in the same things as me. If you would hop on to that blog, Pens & Passports, you would notice most posts are duplicative of the posts I made here. But one of the first original posts I made was a post on thrifting! Haha! Surprise, surprise. 🙂 Continue reading "Thrifting Tour – Uptown Cebu"


text: A bit better week as only one game had to be administered due to Bogul dropping from the league. Everyone please welcome* TheSir to the division! MD3's featured matchup between Brody and OverLORDY ended in a draw, meaning that Crowdog has now pulled into a slight lead at 2-1-0 over Brody, Overlordy, and Miodi who all sit at 1-2-0. This week, the match-ups are as follows: Smashie Smash Orc Band (@Kilsaber ) - A Real Gouda Team (@Awesomedude54 ) WAAAGH!!! Bash (@Miodi ) - Bad Moon Goons (@Crowdog09 ) Citrus Raiders (@OverLORDY ) - Greenleaf (@riffCannon ) Summerset Isle Altmer (@Brody ) - Arkham Avengers (@Mike1334 ) Blister Blitzers (@Zyrael ) - Crooked Moon Cripplers (@TheSir ) This week's featured match-up is shaping up to be a real brawl between the top two Orc squads in Cathay: Miodi's WAAAGH!!! Bash vs. Crowdog's Bad Moon Goons. Even though Crowdog has a Blorc out for this one my money is on him - those blitzers are looking mighty nasty and that Troll is up and running as well. Let's see if Miodi can prove me wrong! You have until January 17th to play your games. For those of you new to these shores, remember the following: Please arrange your matches in this thread. Both coaches post the result in the result thread. One of you (the winner usually) uploads to Statsgrabber Any problems or questions just ask. Please read the rules at http://bbtactics.com/forum/threads/big-crunch-2-rules.6120/. I would highly recommend that everyone use the matchmaking threads for scheduling - I don't have access to steam chat logs and therefore can't use those (or other means of communication) to help me make a decision on how to administer games in these circumstances. If you have any issues either PM me or post in the problems thread http://bbtactics.com/forum/threads/problems-thread-for-season-5.10450/. *this may take the form of a boot to the head, gangfouls, or other less typical "warm hellos"

I am the cause of global warming. Fine, fine, not the whole thing. But when that tipping point comes and it all goes to hell, know that if it weren't for me, we could have been able to stave it off for probably another couple hours or so. I'm not referring just to my general consumption of energy. As far as that goes, I've been making a concerted effort to reduce the amount of emissions over the past year (I still mean to belatedly take Slate's Green Challenge). However, this is all negated by the sheer number of empty loads of laundry I've run.
This happened just a few minutes ago. My apartment happens to be dandy enough to have its own washer and dryer in the hallway. It's one of the things that sold me on the place. As I was composing an email to some friends, it struck me that a) the washer is taking much longer than usual, and b) hey, that's the dryer, not the washer.
I do this at least once a month. Though my washer and dryer share the same control panel, that's not the sole reason I goof. In my last apartment, where I actually had to pay to use the machines, I still managed to do it with frequency. One outstanding night, I did both an empty load in a washer and an empty load in a dryer. To my chagrin, I discovered this right when I was about to retire for the evening.
I'm trying to conserve. But sometimes, my inept laundry skills trump my good intentions.

Description of the backpass. The backpass is a pass back from a outfield player to the goalkeeper. When a backpass? In case an outfield player cannot play forwards to a teammate. The goalkeeper must learn to approach a backpass in the same way as an outfield player.
Backpass since 1992-1993 Goalkeeper no longer allowed to pick up a backpass. Has to play it with his feet. Problems for GK with underdeveloped playing skills. Advantages for the GK helping his team to retain the ball and to initiate a new building up.
The Backpass. Goalkeeper: making himself available. The distance between giver and goalkeeper has to be as big as possible.( time and space). Ball speed of the giver. Position of the teammates and opponents.
Continuation of the backpass.. Backpass from the left, turn open and pass to the right. Playing the backpass directly or collecting. Giver has to play the ball to the strongest legg of the goalkeeper. Developing both leggs
Example how to train the backpass. 3 versus 2 +gk. 3 versus 3 +gk. 4 versus 2 or 3 + gk 5 versus 3 or 4 + gk. Practice: 3 attackers can score on the big goal. GK and the defenders can score on a empty small goal. When the gk scores from a backpass 2 points aaa d d k 3 versus 2 + gk on a half field.
Example how to train the backpass Attacker a pass to a2 a-2. Dribble to goalline- Crossball to incoming attacker. Further 1 vs 1+gk. Goalkeeper can only score from a backpass in a empty goal. Methodics: 1 vs 1+gk, 2 vs 1+gk, 2 vs 2+gk, 3 vs 2+gk, etc a2a aa a a k d

This invention relates to general purpose strain gages and such gages as used in touch screens and particularly to non-metallic semiconductor strain gages.
Strain gages, are devices which measure the strain placed on substrates or connected materials to provide measurably useful information, and which can be translated into physical actions, e.g., for use in operation of touch screens. As described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,241,308, strain gages are used in applications such as in conjunction with an AVI� touch panel, in providing force sensing means with emitted strain measurement signals. These emitted signals are unique for different positions being touched on the panel, and with the position on the panel being touched being related to a desired command or action.
Two general types of strain gages are extant, for use in applications such as touch screens or panels. Each has inherent drawbacks. A first and most common type of strain gage is the metallic foil gage, which is effectively a wire having an electrical resistance which increases when it is stretched. The typical commercial foil gage comprises a thin nickel foil adhesively bonded to a thin Kapton substrate and etched into a zigzag grid pattern. Solder pads thereon provide for external electrical attachment. Mechanical attachment to the systems being measured (for operative strain measurements), is effected by adhesives, generally of the organic type.
As a result of adhesion with these adhesive materials, measurement errors resulting from creep (inelastic flow) of the adhesive bond, are prevalent. The creep causes a change in the highly sensitive measurement balance between the sensor and the substrate being subject to strain. Detrimental creep occurs, usually under conditions of temperature fluctuation, and is a particular source of problems with strain gages utilized in non-controlled environmental conditions, e.g. outdoors, or in applications subject to inherent temperature increases (e.g., a touch screen adjacent monitor elements which tend to heat up during use). In addition, small signal outputs from metal foil gages result in inherently further lowering accuracies of measurement.
A second type of strain gage is a semiconductor type comprised of single crystal silicon substrates, which operates by change of the resistive properties caused by diffusion of impurities into the single crystal. The primary advantage of this type of strain gage over that of the metal foil strain gage, is its relatively much higher signal output. However, there are significant disadvantages with semiconductor strain gages as well. These gages are small, fragile and difficult to handle, particularly since they require electrical connection with wire bonding and very small wires. Furthermore their sensitivity to temperature variations is very high and they are also optically sensitive. These gages also suffer from the same adhesive mounting creep problems prevalent with the metal foil strain gages.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a non-metallic semiconductor strain gage, adapted to be adhered to the item being measured, but which strain gage is relatively insensitive to temperature changes within its operative range and is mountable with a non-creep susceptible connection.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such strain gage with greater reliability and a more accurate measurement output.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide the strain gage without susceptibility to diode junction effect.
These and other objects, features and advantages will become more evident from the following discussion and drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is top view of the strain gage of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross section view of the strain gage of FIG. 1, taken along line 2--2;
FIG. 3 depicts four strain gages of FIGS. 1 and 2, as mounted on a touch screen;
FIG. 4 is a cross section view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a cross section view taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 3.
Generally the present invention comprises general purpose semiconductor strain gages and particularly such strain gages suitable for use with touch screens and touch screens having such gages operably integrated therewith. In accordance with the present invention, the strain gage comprises a half bridge strain gage pattern etched from a thin polysilicon layer deposited on one surface of an inert substrate such as a silicon chip. A portion of the substrate adjacent the polysilicon layer and/or the other side of the silicon chip is metallized with a thin layer of a metal, or combination of metals, suitable for high adherency to the silicon chip (or other substrate being utilized), and whereby it provides a relatively large surface for soft solder attachment of the strain gage to the system being measured.
The metallization (composition and thickness), with adherence to the substrate such as the silicon chip, must be able to accurately transmit strains to the sensor elements of the silicon and polysilicon layer(s) without bonding failure. The solder connection replaces the bonding with organic adhesives in the prior art, whereby reliability and repeatability of strain measurements is enhanced over what is obtained with foil and silicon based gages. The solder material is preferably matched to the metallic or other substrates to which it is adhered, in order to prevent bonding separation caused by expansions and contractions with temperature fluctuations. To this effect, a gold-tin (Au--Sn) based solder has been found to provide a more stable mechanical connection than the commonly utilized lead-tin (Pb--Sn) solder material, when mounted on steel, the most common solderable metal substrate material.
Suitable metallization materials include metal combinations, such as Ti--Ni--Au and Ti--Pt, wherein titanium (Ti) provides a reactive adherent bond to the silicon and an adherent interface to a next metal layer such as nickel (Ni) or platinum (Pt) which provide an insoluble but solderable surface. Gold (Au) is used with an exposed nickel surface in order to prevent oxidation thereof. Solder attachments may be direct, or with the chip positioned face down (with areas adjacent to the polysilicon being metallized such as on a printed circuit board or flex circuit to measure strains in the board. This type of soldered connection can also provide a secure mechanical attachment to a ceramic or other type of circuit board and is suitable for automation in an assembly process.
In prior art semiconductor silicon gages, which operate by means of a resistor formed by diffusing a channel into bulk silicon, a diode junction is formed at the boundary between the channel and the body. This junction, if large, can store significant charge and the energy can blow a hole through the junction wall. If the junction is exposed to light or other emi energy, current will flow across it. If exposed to varying voltage, the effective width of the channel will vary. By providing the etched thin film polysilicon of the present invention wherein the silicon is only a substrate material (and not the resistive element), there is no such diode junction with its deleterious effects.
In etching the polysilicon to provide the strain gage resistive element, three bridge contacts are provided, and since there are no diode junctions, no other electrical contacts are needed. The metallization of the silicon at a position removed from the polysilicon is isolated from the resistor pattern and serves only for mechanical attachment. Characterization of the strain gage of the present invention as being non-metallic is with respect to the operational function of the strain gage and not the means for its mechanical attachment, as heretofore described.
As an additional advantage of the etched polysilicon operational structure, there is little or no crystallographic orientation sensitivity in the strain gage formed therewith. Thus, in diffused silicon resistors of the prior art, a linear object subjected to transverse strain will change resistance in an equal but opposite way from when the strain is longitudinal but there is no way to isolate negative transverse effect from positive longitudinal effect in such prior art sensors.
By utilizing an etching process, in accordance with standard semiconductor etching procedures, the two elements in the half bridge in the polysilicon layer, have a matching resistance which is very high, with a degree of magnitude less than 1% difference between them. This high degree of matching permits a further significant reduction in temperature sensitivity of the gage.
An additional factor leading to inaccuracies with prior art strain gages relates to the fact that strain gages are utilized by direct adherence to the system being measured, e.g., directly bonded to touch screens, whereby they are not thermally shielded from temperature variations. Thus, prior art semiconductor strain gages have been plagued with high sensitivity and inaccuracies when subjected to temperature variations.
In accordance with the present invention, the polysilicon is doped with a dopant material such as boron with high dopant levels in order to minimize such thermal effects. The dopant level can be further adjusted to reduce any apparent strain from mounting on materials with dissimilar thermal expansion coefficients, such as steel. Though similar types of doping polysilicon in strain gages, for temperature stability, has been previously effected, such as described in CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYSILICON LAYERS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN SENSORS by E. Obermeier et al. in Rec. of the IEEE Solid State Sensors Workshop, 1986 (pp 83-86), these strain gages have been in the form of piezoresistors and not in the form of directly adhering strain gages as in the present invention. Temperature sensitivity and stability is however different and not readily predictable in the different application forms. Thus, as shown by Obermeier, temperature independent operation of the polysilicon resistor is maximized at a doping level of about 4.5�1015 cm3 (4.5E15). However, effective resistance and temperature stability levels (and normalized resistor values with the adherable strain gages of the present invention, occur at much lower doping levels of about 2E15). This is contrary to Obermeier's teachings, which stress that increased doping levels are required for temperature stability.
As described, a factor for accurate measurement, related to temperature changes, is the degree of expansion of the substrate, such as a metal substrate of stainless steel, upon increased temperature, relative to that of the silicon sensor. Since metal substrates of this type have greater temperature coefficients than the silicon based sensor, there is a dishing effect at the interface between sensor and substrate. The extent of this dishing effect is a further function of the thickness of the metal substrate. Thus, thin substrates (equal to or less than the thickness of the sensor) have more pronounced dishing and a negative temperature coefficient. Thicker substrates tend to go toward positive. It is desirable to obtain as close to zero as possible value, for the temperature coefficient, in order to avoid introduction of error factors, and this is preferably effected by adjusting the thickness of the metal substrate appropriately. Alternatively, it is possible to achieve the same or similar effect by making the longitudinal and transverse temperature coefficients equal to each other. This is preferably effected by altering the known physical characteristics of the specific metal used in the substrate (e.g., with changes in thickness, removal of material, etc.) in a manner which provides such equality.
Aside from being substantially insensitive to temperature changes and fluctuations, the strain gages of the present invention, also provide significantly higher reliability because of the elimination of adhesive bonding, as well as the typical gage factor greater than ten times that of presently used commercial foil gages. In addition, the single crystal silicon chip substrate for the polysilicon strain gage, provides a good low creep mechanical foundation for a strain gage with its own self supporting structural element. With a congruent or similar configuration, the strain gages of the present invention allow for direct replacement for foil gages, which is not always possible with typical prior art semi-conductor gages. It has been additionally discovered that a geometrically square sensor provides the best possible signal with reference to signal to noise ratio and such configuration is preferred.
Various applications, in addition to touch screens, for which the strain gages of the present invention are useful (including those with inclement conditions normally not suitable for strain gages of the prior art); in the continuous or intermittent measurement of strain, include accelerometers, transducers, aviation structures, weigh scales, force transducers, dams, microphones, alarms, bridges, etc.
With specific reference to the drawings, strain gage 10, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is comprised of silicon wafer substrate 11, having polysilicon layer elements 12a-f deposited thereon. Metallized areas 13a-d are comprised of thin layers of titanium and nickel (with a protective gold coat on the exposed nickel) which provide areas for effecting a solder connection between the system being measured and the strain gage. The solder connection provides both an electrical connection to the resistive polysilicon elements and a reliable mechanical mounting of the strain gage 10 to the system, which mounting is not subject to creep.
In a typical strain gage application, four strain gages 10a-d are depicted as being placed on a typical touch screen 20 in FIGS. 3-5. As shown in FIG. 3, glass touch screen panel 20 is closely retained by four corner brackets 14a-d. As shown in FIG. 4, with a cross section view of bracket 14b, the corner of the glass panel 20 is closely retained within metal clip 15b of bracket 14b and epoxy bonded thereto. The strain gage sensor 10b is soldered with solder 16 between metallized areas 13a-d, shown in FIG. 1, and the mounting stand of bracket 14b. As a result the strain gage sensor 10b (with a c-shape configuration) sandwiches a section of the mounting bracket 14b, adjacent the metal clip 15b, with retained glass of touch panel 20. Strain engendered by a touching of the glass panel at a particular position of the surface thereof, causes a measurable deflection of the glass, which is in turn transmitted through the metal of the bracket to gage sensor 10b (similar transmissions occur to the remaining gages 10a, 10c and 10d). The gages are electrically interconnected and connected to external elements for translation of measured strain, via resistance level changes in the polysilicon strain gage, to events or measurements. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, wires 40a-d effect such electrical connection and interconnection. Though the strain gages 10a-d are protected from exterior elements by front bezel 30 which peripherally encloses the edges of panel 20, they remain exposed to possible interior heat build-up within the electronics used in conjunction with the touch screen 20 and accordingly the gage sensors are stabilized with doping such as with boron, to maintain temperature stability of measured resistance changes.
It is understood that the above examples and discussion are merely illustrative of the present invention and that changes may be made in structure, components, applications, physical relationships and the like without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the following claims.

by Carnaval Spirit Bateria
This 55 minute CD of inspiring percussion music featurs the sounds of the Brazilian Bateria (collection of drums). We use 3 or more richly tuned bass drums (surdos), caxia (snare drum), agogo (double African bell), tamborim (small stick drum, no jingles), ganza (tube shaker), repinique ( high pitched drum that gives signals), and congas to create a vibrant weave of good feelings.
Core members in this recording have studied and played these arrangements with director Kim Atkinson for more than 10 years!
Dance Latitude

Featuring over 30 exotic percussion instruments with multi-keyboards and drum set. Moods range from full-on dance to introspective with unusual instruments and rhythms.
Educational CDs

Son Clave and Twelve Bell
This is an audio CD lesson and groove session in Son clave and twelve bell. These two basic patterns form the foundation of an immense body of music from around the world.
In this lesson we learn the patterns from the inside out. I lead you through counting and clapping the patterns in different ways, as well as two hand coordination and other exercises to get the feeling into your body. The lesson ends with 40 minutes of clave and twelve bell grooves at different tempos for you to play along with.
Clave Consciousness vol. 2. Audio CD (Clave is pronounced Kla Veh)
Rumba Clave & AbaCua Clave
This lesson and groove session is focused on Rumba clave and AbaCua Clave. These two intriguing patterns are found in many styles of world music today.
I teach you the patterns from the inside out. We count and clap the patterns in different ways, and I show you two hand coordination and other exercises to get the feeling into your body. The lesson ends with 25 minutes of clave grooves at different tempos for you to play along with. If you are interested in clave in "6-8" this is a great lesson for you.
Speaking of Rhythm vol. 1: Afoxé
The arrangement that I've presented here I learned from Jose Lorenzo of Bahia, Brazil when he taught dance and music in San Francisco from the late 1970's through the 1980's. He started the group Escola de Samba Batucaje and is one of the people most responsible for bringing Brazilian Carnaval to San Francisco.
To hear the intro and first lesson of Afoxé, click here.
Speaking of Rhythm vol. 2: Bembe
The Bembe rhythm we are playing here is a common AfroCuban music and dance form that has made its way into American music via Latin Jazz and Rock.
The Bembe rhythm I teach here was taught to me by the late Cuban master drummer Regino Jimenez. With four conga parts, a shekere and a bell, it has a sweet soothing melody.
Speaking of Rhythm vol. 3: Djesse Muloumbo
Djesse Muloumbo is a rhythm and dance from Congo in Central Africa. I learned this rhythm from Ta Titos Sompa and performed it with him and played it many times in dance class with the late Malonga Casquelourd and other master artists from Central Africa.
According to my teachers, Djesse Muloumbo is probably the name of a famous dancer/choreographer who became renown for his spectacular movement to this rhythm.
Speaking of Rhythm vol. 4: Yan Valu
Yan Valu is an Afro Haitian Rhythm and Dance which has become famous the world over through the work of such artists as Katherine Dunham and Jean Leon Destine'.
The style that I'm presenting to you comes to me from the renown Caribbean artist Marcus Gordon who taught extensively in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1970s and 1980's.
Speaking of Rhythm vol. 5: Nigerian HighLife
I learned this arrangement of Highlife in 1976 from my first teacher, Nigerian Yoruba drummer/singer/dancer Augustus Olatunji Vidal when he taught at Sonoma State College in Northern California... [more]
Speaking of Rhythm vol. 6: AfroCuban Makuta
This arrangement of Afro Cuban Makuta comes to me from the late Cuban Master Drummer Regino Jimenez.
Multi-volume set: Speaking of Rhythm vols. 1 – 6 … plus FREE Lesson CD: Clave Consciousness, vol. 1 Son Clave
Instructional CDs covering a range of common ensemble dance rhythms from the Caribbean, Brazil and Africa. During the lesson you and I play the patterns on conga drums, bells, sticks, and shakers and build up an entire ensemble rhythm with solo movements. When you can speak and sing these rhythms, they become yours to express on any instrument.
Educational DVDs
MOZAMBIQUE! DVD vol. 2:
55 minute instructional video and 30-page booklet.
Volume 2 focuses on Mozambique in a band setting, in both Cuban and New York styles. Performers include Chris "Flaco" Walker, David Penalosa, Noah Mosgofian, and Cary Griffin.
In the first half, I show how Pello el Afrokan's Cuban Carnaval music feels in 2-3 clave. We learn two bell parts, a two conga part, a single conga part and two bombo (bass drum) parts. We play in a small group, then I perform it with a nine piece group, I solo a bit, and we dip into Mozambique in 6-8 (!)
In the second half of the video I show variations of the New York style on two congas, as well as a three drum style that has become one of my favorite grooves. I teach the basic timbale part with bell and bombo and we do a performance of "New York Mozambique, California Style"
I'd like to thank all the Cuban, Puerto Rican, and American drummers who have created and expanded this fantastic groove, born of the 1960's.

Book Review: Kiss of Deception
In this timeless new trilogy about love and sacrifice, a princess must find her place in a reborn world.
In a society steeped in tradition, Princess Lia's life follows a preordained course. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight—but she doesn't—and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom—to a prince she has never met.
On the morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assasin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—even as she finds herself falling in love.
There was a cleverness of illusion here that is difficult to spot at first. Consider this--a princess flees, so an assassin and prince follow. Who do you trust? The princess who puts her wishes above the peace of her kingdom? A prince who followed out of curiosity at first? An assassin who took the "easy job" so he could then go on vacation? Do you trust the man with an easy smile, charming charisma? Or the man who pushes you constantly? When does the lies you told to find your way become a trap that makes you easy prey?
Like The Fox Chronicles Pearson plays with perception, expectations and phrasing to leave the reader guessing about Kaden and Rafe as well as what was really going in with Lia. Neither Rafe nor Kaden are easy to pinpoint motivations for as they themselves are uncertain about what matters more. Lia, despite being so certain about what she doesn't want, begins to feel conflicted as her past unravels. In many ways Lia's escape and hopes were doomed from the beginning because so much was hidden from her.
Until the end its hard to say who is really feeling what. Despite her reluctance to marry her jilted Prince, Lia does want to keep her people safe (its just unfortunate that her parents want to perpetuate a horrendous falsehood and possibly sacrifice her in the process). Kaden is easy-going and charming, but that doesn't always mesh well with his inner dialogue or what he says to Lia. Then there's Rafe. The first impression Lia has of him is of uneasiness and calculation. He studies her, constantly, and uses his words to confuse her as much as interest her. He does the gentleman thing when it suits him, but he's far more interested in finding out what makes Lia Lia.
I'll admit that the love triangle wore on me to a great degree. No one is who they claim they are (or even who they claim TWICE who they are...plots within plots as they say in Dune) and no one is playing a simple game. It made buying into the romance(s) difficult for me. I don't mind love triangles when there's a real sense of decision to be made, but in this case no one knew what they wanted from themselves so the development for the romance felt stunted and under-formed by the end.
This was very much set up as part of a larger trilogy and it suffers at times for that. Even as emotions are involved you don't get a sense of urgency really. There's heart-wrenching moments and happy moments. Moments of 'omg why would you do that?' and moments of 'it will work out in the end'. Unlike with THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX and its sequels, this book doesn't end cleanly. I wish this was more contained, but I'm looking forward to the sequel so I'll attempt patience. (ha!)

Each week of the Sprint Cup season, ESPN The Magazine's Ryan McGee ranks the top 20 drivers in the series. Last week's rankings are in parentheses, as are the top-10s.
Don't agree with McGee's list? Let him -- and the rest of the world -- know in the conversation section at the bottom of the page. But remember, make your mama proud.
New this week
Aric Almirola, Mark Martin
Dropped out
Juan Pablo Montoya, AJ Allmendinger
Biggest mover
Jeff Gordon jumps seven spots from 13th to sixth.
Biggest loser
Joey Logano falls seven spots from seventh to 14th.
Also considered
Marcos Ambrose, Jeff Burton, Kyle Weatherman
No. 1. Matt Kenseth
Mr. Stealth was the perfect winner to cap off a week full of too much noise. Oh, by the way, the past two champs started their Chase off with a win at Chicago. Finished ninth at New Hampshire in July.
No. 2. Kyle Busch
He was bummed to finish one spot off a Chicagoland weekend sweep, but I bet he was much more excited just to get off to a good start to the Chase. Finished second at NHMS earlier this year.
No. 3. Jimmie Johnson
So, they did "flip the switch" after all, even with a broken jack and a pit road official leaning on that switch as hard as he could. He's a three-time NHMS winner who finished sixth in July.
No. 4. Kevin Harvick
The only thing that kept Harvick from making a run at his long-elusive third Chicago win was Dave Blaney deciding to act like my great-aunt Mamie cutting across two lanes of traffic to pull into church.
No. 5. Kurt Busch
My man Ricky Craven tells me that Kurt's best friend is the team's David versus Goliath nothing-to-lose attitude. And my man Ricky Craven is usually spot-on. Led 102 of 302 laps at NHMS in July.
No. 6. Jeff Gordon
The 13th Man came back from a lap down to race like a guy who was jobbed out of a Chase spot twice before finally being let in at the last minute ... because that's exactly what he is.
No. 7. Carl Edwards
Not a great night, but not a terrible enough night to knock him out of Cup contention. Do me a favor and CTL+C this for later ...
No. 8. Ryan Newman
Talk about your good weeks. He announced his new ride with RCR, was put back into the Chase, and picked up a top-10 at Chicago. He's a three-time New Hampshire winner, the last coming in July 2011.
No. 9. Kasey Kahne
Ol' Blue Eyes was also caught up in Dave Blaney's pit road pinball impersonation, but he rallied to finish 12th. Still, he's already 31 points in arrears. His lone Loudon win came last year in the July race.
No. 10. Greg Biffle
Remember what I told you to CTL+C about Edwards? You can paste that here. The Biff is also 31 points back. If he's going to finally win a Cup, he can't fumble another 1.5-mile oval race.
No. 11. Clint Bowyer
After spending the week as a human pinata, he quietly finished ninth. He says he expects the SpinGate talk to go away. But if he wins New Hampshire -- where he's won twice before -- it will only get louder.
No. 12. Brad Keselowski
You get the feeling that the no-longer-defending champ could get on a Chase-busting run of wins, a la Tony Stewart 2006. He's on a streak of four straight top-6 finishes at NHMS.
No. 13. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Good news: The Time Warner cable man says he'll be by to fix Junior's car. Bad news: He says it'll be between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Thursday.
No. 14. Joey Logano
No. 15. Martin Truex Jr.
I still truly believe he had no idea what was happening at Richmond.
No. 16. Jamie McMurray
Jamie Mac is another guy who could spoil the Chase party with a win or two, but don't expect that to happen at New Hampshire, where he has four top-10s in 21 starts and only one since '04.
No. 17. Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
It took the soon-to-be-Rookie of the Year seven months to get his first top-10 finish and now he's posted two in a row.
No. 18. Aric Almirola
The King's apprentice has just one top-5 finish this season ... and it came at New Hampshire nine weeks ago.
No. 19. Paul Menard
His last four finishes: sixth, 24th, fifth and 22nd. Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. Make up your mind already.
No. 20. Mark Martin
Whenever Martin comes to Chicago, it reminds him of how he got started in racing: running liquor for Al Capone during Prohibition.

Mandala Workshops
Tendar teaches you to create your own Mandala in the Gyuto tradition. Though the design is formalised, each completed Mandala reflects the personal spiritual evolution of the individual, making it ultimately a personal voyage of growth and discovery.
Sand Mandalas
Sand Mandalas are rich in symbolism, require the utmost mindfulness and concentration, and are deliberately destined for destruction before the first grain of sand is added. Sand Mandalas represent the temporal nature and impermanence of all our personal efforts, regardless of their beauty or perceived significance.
Butter Sculptures
Butter Sculptures often depict scenes and stories from Tibetan Buddhist tradition or they may be Yantras (meditative visual patterns). They may also provide an excellent focus for meditation practice. Tendar will accept commissions to make Butter Sculptures on request..
Tibetan Art Workshops
As a teacher of Sacred Tibetan Buddhist Art in the Gyuto tradition, the Venerable Lobsang Tendar is highly skilled in Chanting, creating both Painted and Sand Mandalas, and also Butter Sculptures. To promote the Dharma, world peace and cultural interchange, Tendar offers classes and ongoing workshops so that others may discover the rich spiritual depths and practical benefits of these Sacred Tibetan Buddhist Art forms.
Duration: Courses typically run for two to three days
Skill Level: Suitable for all skill levels from beginers to experienced members

Muscat Lunel 2015 Préselő Winery Hungary Tokaj
Sales Tools
About Wine
The wine is made of 100% (Muscat Lunel, for which the grape was harvested from the Szentvér vineyard in the middle of September 2015. The nice sunny weather and the optimal harvesting conditions helped us to make this light, but still very characteristic Muscat Lunel wine with all attributes to the Tokaj wine region. To achieve our main goal to keep all fragrances, fruity aromas and the generic character of the variety, both fermentation and ageing were conducted in anaerobe conditions. The final result is a light and charming wine with some fresh character.
