Corina Marion's father is dead.
Off to a never-ending war as a Red Cross doctor before Corina was even born, Luther Marion has been a constant but increasingly distant presence in his daughter's life for sixteen years. Damaged pictures. Short letters. And three brief phone calls received before Corina was old enough to walk.
Now, Luther Marion has returned home at last—as a body in a box to be buried. Corina's mother is devastated. Her small, backwoods town mourns the loss of its local hero.
And Corina…isn't sure how she feels about the death of a father she never really met.
But when a mysterious old man confronts Corina at her father's funeral, she finds herself drawn to his impossible offer: a chance to know the late Luther Marion. And in a moment of uncertainty, Corina makes a choice with consequences she can barely fathom. A choice that sends her to the last place she ever expected to go.
Her father's hometown. Six hundred miles south.
And twenty-five years in the past.

Review: Half Dead & Fully Broken by Kevin Craig
I received a digital copy of the book by the author in exchange for an honest review.
Carter Colby is the most unpopular teen at Jefferson High. This would be easier to deal with if his identical twin brother, Marcus, weren't the hottest, most popular boy in school.
When Marcus is killed in a motorcycle accident, Carter discovers the one thing more painful than trying to compete with Mr. Wonderful: wearing his dead brother's face. He felt invisible before the accident, but with Marcus dead, everybody turns away from him in mourning. How can he blame them? He can't bear to look in the mirror.
When Carter begins to see Marcus' ghost, Mr. Wonderful's quest to save the world and spread happiness may not be over after all, even in death. Marcus knows that Justin Dewar, the boy who drove the truck that crashed into his motorbike, is struggling with the guilt of taking a life. Melanie, Marcus' mourning girlfriend, was also hit hard by the tragedy. Marcus wants to make things right before it's too late.
With Marcus' help, Carter experiences love and friendship for the first time in his life. But is Mr. Wonderful's helping hand enough for Carter, Melanie, and Justin – three kids fully broken by the tragedy – to save one another?
Review : Alienated (Alienated #1) by Melissa Landers
Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.
Handpicked to host the first-ever L'eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she'll have inside information about the mysterious L'eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara's blog following is about to skyrocket.
Still, Cara isn't sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L'eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn't seem more alien. She's certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.
But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.
Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn't just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.
Review: Ignite (Ignite #1) by Lily Paradis
After her father's untimely demise in a mining accident and her mother's abandonment, Lauren Lindsay is no stranger to loss. She's used to living life for one person: herself. That is, until another family tragedy thrusts three children into her care and uproots her life in ways she could never imagine.
Lauren's first instinct is to run, until she meets their striking, mysterious neighbor Dean Powell. Their immediate chemistry and his connection with her late father just might be enough to keep her in town long enough to uncover pieces of her past that she never had answers to. Dean's shady past and her reluctance to trust him could cost her the life she's always been searching for, but will she run back to her old life?
Or will she choose to stay and live the life her father always imagined for her?
Review: Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger (Finishing School: Book The First)
It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time.
Welcome to Finishing School.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners–and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish…everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but the also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage–in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.

Review: Zodiac (Zodiac #1) by Romina Russell
"At the dawn of time, there were 13 Houses in the Zodiac Galaxy. Now only 12 remain….
Rhoma Grace is a 16-year-old student from House Cancer with an unusual way of reading the stars. While her classmates use measurements to make accurate astrological predictions, Rho can't solve for 'x' to save her life—so instead, she looks up at the night sky and makes up stories.
When a violent blast strikes the moons of Cancer, sending its ocean planet off-kilter and killing thousands of citizens—including its beloved Guardian—Rho is more surprised than anyone when she is named the House's new leader. But, a true Cancerian who loves her home fiercely and will protect her people no matter what, Rho accepts.
Then, when more Houses fall victim to freak weather catastrophes, Rho starts seeing a pattern in the stars. She suspects Ophiuchus—the exiled 13th Guardian of Zodiac legend—has returned to exact his revenge across the Galaxy. Now Rho—along with Hysan Dax, a young envoy from House Libra, and Mathias, her guide and a member of her Royal Guard—must travel through the Zodiac to warn the other Guardians.
But who will believe anything this young novice says? Whom can Rho trust in a universe defined by differences? And how can she convince twelve worlds to unite as one Zodiac?"

A year ends. A year with one of the most ups and downs I have ever encountered in all of my life.
I am going to write down some of the most important things I am looking forward to (bookish and non – bookish), just so I can keep a track of what resolutions I have made [and what I can tick off ;)]
These resolutions aren't airtight (If they were, I definitely would be adhering to them. The rebel in me doesn't like to be tethered! :P) but mere suggestions. I am going to try my best to listen to them!!
Wish me luck, you awesome sauce readers ❤

Calcutta, Nov. 25: The cess farmers pay for the water they draw from reservoirs will go up if the government gives in to pressure from the irrigation department.
Irrigation minister Amalendra Roy said at Writers Buildings today the existing rates per acre-feet of water taken by farmers were fixed in 1964 and they needed to be revised. The government charges Rs 15 per acre-feet of water for kharif crop, Rs 20 for rabi and Rs 50 for boro. The Planning Commission is repeatedly telling us to increase the tax for irrigation water. We realise that the cess will have to be hiked to mobilise resources, said Roy.
In the state, farmers use about 12.25 lakh acre-feet of water from the Damodar Valley Corporation, Kangshabati and Mayurakshi reservoirs. However, sections in the government ruled out any immediate revision in the rates with the panchayat polls round the corner.

text: To tease hair you will want to choose a segment to work on. Lift that segment of hair, about a handful will do. Now take your comb or brush and lightly run it from the top of the hair near your hand where you are holding on to the ends to lift it and run the comb or brush down to your scalp. Be gentle, now let go of the hair and move to the next spot, if you want to. When ready, gently comb the outer most hair over the teased hair. You will have more lift and fullness in the teased area.

6 Month Eval.
Back here in Nashville again. Great to connect with people from the old days. It's good to take a break from the "wheel" in Kona. Too much work isn't always a good thing. It's a bit intense. Just taking couple weeks traveling between Chicago and Tennessee visiting family, taking time to evaluate life's endeavors-how it's going so far? what needs to change? is it something to stick with? It's helpful to step out and see things for what they are. Aside from being with family and friends, evaluation is part of the mission during this time.
Nashville has worn many faces for me over the years. I first came here to live in 1998 when I got married. That was 3 years-plus or minus. Then I came back with Hans and the band in 2004 for about a year. I returned in 2006 to "grow up" and try to plant and grow a business. That lasted through 2009. I've been married, divorced, drunk, and sober here but the place is more or less the same.
It is interesting though, how a place can be so different looking back; the same stores, same streets, but thinking of them in different years, they're different. In the married period, it was dark and hazy. In the country just north of town, there was lots of talk, but goals and resolutions amounted to little. Counseling and plans were just meaningless talk but no follow through on anything. Eventually you stop because nothing amounts to anything anyway. Why bother? How long can you hope in nothing? "Let's get some beers instead."
The period after that was one of whiskey instead of beers because why not! It's celebration! Or more like a self-destructive rampage. A time to see that lots of what was blamed on another was mine and mine alone. The last time I lived in Nashville, was a time to get real about life. Where are you going? What are you doing? If you keep doing this for another 20 years, where will you end up? Time to become a member at a church and start giving something back. Time to build a business. Time to follow through. Time to stop blaming people and quit drinking, going to AA, getting a sponsor, and letting the rest fall away… surrender.
So, back to evaluation… it seems good to do often. If I believe in taking risks, am I taking them? If I believe in making time for people, am I making time? …prioritizing family, not overbooking myself, praying because it really works… whatever the ideal is, are decisions being made that back the ideals?
The words of Socrates ring true, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
Regret. Recognizing in retrospect that time was spent slaving for the approval of God and man when all he wants is a son and people are not satisfied anyway. Seeing that the only thing blocking the way is a closed mind.
Life is a school. God is teaching all the time through everything.
There are no limits to what he can say or how he can work.
What a person believes about God is the single most important mindset anyway.
There's a great song called Relatively Easy by Jason Isbell with a line that says,
"Take a year and make a break,
there ain't that much at stake,
the answers could be relatively easy."
…and a couple verses…
""Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:29-30

Hear how they use the classic setup of piano, guitar, drums and bass in long-lost and completely new ways and then vary their palette with xylophones, organs, accordions and trombones. Think Frank Zappa meets Brave Combo. Contact Paul Lohr at New Frontier Touring at firstname.lastname@example.com.

From the beginning, Zox has managed to build cohesion out of contrast. You need look no further than the band's twin frontmen to find these not-so-subtle differences: one is a tattoo-covered conservatory violinist with a history of trashing dressing rooms at Carnegie Hall, and the other a buttoned-down, Type-A who turned down an offer from Stanford Law School to stay with the band. They've developed an unusual sound, which features an electric violin run into a guitar amp, earnest, vivid lyrics threaded through unadorned melodies, and a rhythm section that seems to swing effortlessly between making you dance and making you think. With the release of their third album, Line in the Sand, the band demonstrates that contrast is, in the end, what makes things stand out. For all booking inquiries, please contact Brian Manning at CAA at 424-288-2000.

Clueless Doesn't Equal Blameless
Three words make up one of the lamest excuses in business today – "I don't know."
A business is paid to know, as a consultant know the answer, as a manufacturer know how your widget works as a service provider know how to serve. If we don't know and worse, can't figure it out our clients are sure to replace us.
So why is it we allow that excuse to live within our team and company? Why do we rationalize it away bending over backwards to understand their limitations?
Certainly no one can know everything, that's where growth comes in. But knowledge is a mindset; it's a focus on continuous learning that requires initiative and desire. Each member of our team needs to embrace that it's their personal responsibility to know and if they don't, to find an answer.
If we fail to set that standard our clients suffer and in the end so will our business. Business is based on the ability to create and that means taking the road less traveled filled with uncertainty and unasked questions.
The most successful of us aren't the 'smartest guys' in the room, just the most capable of finding the right solution.
As always – These are my thoughts, I could be wrong. So, if you disagree or simply want to pile on, please do so. I look forward to the conversation.

Still trying to fit in that size 2? Starving yourself to lose a few pounds? Ladies please, please PLEASE stop! Nowhere does science or society prove/support that lack of nutrition and stressing over your weight has a positive result.
Your curves are not a crime. Embrace your body. Dress to fit YOU. Who cares if your friend wears a size 6…you are the only one who lives in your skin so you'd better get familiar & very comfortable with it. Now that doesn't mean draping yourself in some shapeless polyester piece, shunning your stunning figure. Dressing the part plays an important role in feeling it. Try things on in the fitting room when you're out shopping. If you are unsure bring 2 different sizes to try. Heck bring your cute heels & really bring the outfit to life! At first it doesn't seem ideal but imagine how much better you'll feel & look once you know that what you are going home with fits in only the right places.
I've had three babies & there isn't a curve on this body I would give back. It's a far cry from the one I had at 18 but it's mine & I love it. A person will only treat you as good as you treat yourself. So love yourself whole-heartedly & honestly.

In response to the incident at the school in Murrysville, Pa, NASSP has reprinted a Strategic Safety blog on their website. The blog is entitled "Sunshine: The Greater Part of Life" and offers recommendations to help students, staff and parents when a crisis occurs in their own school.
The title of the article comes from a comment made by Thomas Jefferson, "Friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine." It is in that spirit that school communities must operate each day.

Friends with Benefit Relationship
Friends with benefits has been an issue of various public discussions mostly regarding its positivity or negativity in the lives of those who practice it. It's one of those topics you'd mostly love to hear people comment on but whatever the case may be, how well informed are we all concerning this issue? What does it really entail and just how effective or negative is it empowering most relationships out there in their efforts to thrive….
All these will be dealt with in this article. Just tag along as we progress further into this topic.
Moving on, now what is a 'Friends with Benefit relationship? From a lay mans perspective, we could say that it's the kind of intimate relationship practiced between two friends/ people with no strings attached whatsoever. In other words, a relationship in which two consenting adults agree to share physical intimacy together for personal gains, without the inclusion of emotional feelings at whatever point reached. I know most of you out there who aren't really familiar with this sort of relationship might be wondering how crazy enough people can get in pulling something like this off. But trust me, you'll get to understand from their perspective as to why they willingly decide engage in something like this. In recent times, relationships have undergone tremendous transformations in their mode of operation as against past times when they were quite monotonous and boring. With the little added spice, more and more people have come to embrace the friends with benefit relationship. Most especially are the youths of modern day times. To them, this mode of dating is less stressful, plus an added advantage of getting to date someone you really like to be with without having to go through all that hurtful format of giving your all and everything hence, having your heart broken at the end of the day. You get to be whoever you want to be irrespective of the other partner being present in your life. Even though building a relationship this way can be fun and adventurous in so many ways, let us look at some ills as well as positives that can be derived either ways in this relationship setting.
- One positive effect derived from this kind of relationship is the fact that it places less pressure on buddies who would wish to be involved in some sort of sexual relationship without having to get all personal at the end of the day. You flow freely with your partner of so many years and don't really have to worry about the fact that you doing the right or wrong thing. With this kind of relationship, such awkwardness is permissible. You only think of stuff you'd like to do and want to do, prior to being in a straight forwarded relationship where there are often lots of commitments, engagements, what to do's and have to do's…..hmmm, a whole lot of frustrating complications if you ask me.
- Also, a friends with benefit relationship has that natural tendency of building ones self- confidence. Pretty much so. It places you in that spot where you feel most confident in really being who you are with your buddy. The fact that you manage to cross all the way into the bedroom goes to show how comfortable you are with your partner, paving the way for a much better sex life. It's a blend of everything, all rolled up into one if you looking at it from my point of view…., it makes you feel safe with your best pal, comfy around them and to a greater extent, places you in that all good spot of feeling very confident about yourself, who you are and what you stand for. It's not all about going the conventional way as everybody else. You got to loosen up a bit!
- A friends with benefit relationship further creates a much bigger opening for love to take its natural course in the lives of both partners! Relationships which start off from points where partners neither care for each other nor place any real value or seriousness in the relationship tend to be the ones that fall victim to deeper found love growing between the two in the course of time. Love comes naturally without partners even noticing it, before they say jack….whoa, it's far too gone now. This can help begin or build a long term bond between partners if they so desire to go the extra mile in their relationship. It's a stepping stone of some sort, which aid partners in finding the right footing to building a much better and stronger relationship much more than the physical and intimate one they have going or have been accustomed to following as a personal decision.
- Now moving on to some Cons–
- A Friends with benefit relationship builds confusion within partners when priorities stray off from each other. This is to mean that, a situation could arise where one partner might be seeking more to a relationship than just common sexual or intimate attachments. One person may fall in love genuinely whereas the other might not really be disposed to believing that kind of 'falling in love' hocus pocus theory. This can lead to the emanating or purging out of various levels of emotional frustrations which at the end of the day would contribute nothing but break the solid friendship built over the years. It's virtually a one way ticket to ruining the relationship you have with someone and sending it straight to hell amidst the number of years spent being with the person….who may actually be a best friend or someone you've known all your life.
- If you seeking the quickest way to having your heart broken and trampled upon in less than no time…., be sure to participate in a friends- with- benefit relationship. I can't imagine who would want to be in a relationship just for sexual or intimate benefits and at the same time stand to bear his or her partner frolicking with another person outside of the relationship, and still have the heart to keep mute over it for the mere fact that, there are no strings attached to the relationship. What's all that about anyway? There's bound to be some form of jealousy and bitterness occurring at some point in this relationship. As human as we are, in some cases, we would usually not want to even share our personal belongings with others how much more sharing a boyfriend or girlfriend? I find it rather hard to believe that one could really be with someone, not caring about what that person does outside the relationship and not get insecure. There's a big gap created in this relationship which renders it somewhat unsafe and unadvisable if you are the kind who cannot handle heartaches.
- Most people who practice dating this kind of way are usually seen as somehow awkward and misfits in society, generally speaking. In several countries, this type of relationship is not acceptable and is seen as a form of sexual immorality and a pure lack of dignity on the part of those who practice it. They neither embrace its practice nor accept the reasons why people would decide to date this way. This can be attributed to the fact that, it's a relationship purely based and defined on sex and intimacy, thus the main focus for one accepting to be in it is to satisfy pleasures and urges that may arise. It neither promises tomorrow nor assures partners of a safe relationship leading into marriage with time approaching and age not being a faithful partner.
- Also in relation with friends with benefit relationships, there exists that lack of commitment exhibited by partners. If even at all there should exist some level of seriousness in any relationship, not with a friends with benefit relationship. Partners tend to assume lackadaisical attitudes and do not often care whatsoever happens in the relationship. Once they manage to get that intimate or physical support they derive from the relationship, nothing else matters. It makes the relationship somewhat uninteresting and one way- directed. There's absolutely no form of cohesion or syncing when it comes to partners in this relationship, and with this outlook, the relationship is surely doomed for a split in no time soon. A friends with benefit relationship in totality can be practiced if one willingly and truly feels it's the kind of relationship that meets their required desire and standard. Despite the odds faced dating this kind of way, we've at least managed to learn about some few positives which most of you never had any idea of. We all need to be ourselves and find that platform that best defines us. Ideally, one should never have to consider the actions of others when it comes to dating. The perception of others based on how you should leave your personal life should really not affect you. Be in control and let them know who and what you are. A friends-with-benefit relationship is not an evil in all entirety. It just happens that only few people out there are brave enough to want to step out of the conventional ways of dating…., which is somehow interesting. Just be yourself and don't let anybody get under your skin. You owe it to yourself to have a chance at being happy. No one can do that for you. It depends totally on you.

It's cool as long as you both agree not to cross the line which clearly says "friends with benefit". These type of thing almost always ends up going wayward. Either you both end up falling in love or one friend gets jealous. I won't suggest you get involved in such act if you are dating but if you are single, its worth a try.
Trying this kind of friendship will only make you sad in the end.one may fall for the other or one may fall for someone else which will create jealousy as you said. So it is not advisable to be involved in this kind of relationship. You can never prevent being hurt, you can only let go of the pain because no matter what we do, we will always be hurt by people we don't even expect that from, so is better to enjoy being with someone you love than being together because of benefit.
Friends with benefits it actually involves alot and I will say the guys enjoy it most when.To me this relationship can go well if both partners are single,apart from that it will be full of hurts and bitterness. It good in a way since you both can end up falling in love which will be cool,bad in another way when only one partner falls in love and the other on does not,then the broken hearted….. I equally have another understanding of it being there for each other both in good and bad times without welcoming sex. So to me I encourage friends with benefits provided you can face the end part of it!

Idakar:/I Damage Ends Gordons Run
January 9, 2006 | 11:20 A.M. EST
Gordon was making the treacherous Special Stage run over open desert, in fading light, between Zouerat and Atar, Mauritania when he came over a dune and found the sandy crest breaking away under him. Instead of landing in soft sand on the other side the Hummer impacted a large patch of native grass filled with hard sand known as "camel grass."
The otherwise minor impact pushed the front bumper bar through the grill of the Hummer which punctured the radiator. Given that these set-backs are not uncommon in the Dakar, and even expected, Gordon and his navigator Darren Skilton were not deterred and immediately began repairing the H3.
All the water had drained from the system, so Gordon used on-board tools to saw the six-square-inch damaged section out of the radiator. He then pinched off the torn coolant tubes and sealed off the remaining damage with epoxy.
Amazingly, the system held water so the only remaining problem was extricating the Hummer from the deep bowl of sand. The heat generated from the effort blew the epoxy sealant from the radiator, again stopping the H3.
In the meantime, Skilton had contacted the chase team via radio and gave them their GPS coordinates, but it was now dark and the car was so far off any known road there was no way to easily reach them.
As fate would have it, the team's T4 race truck, a race entry with spare parts for the Hummer, was stuck in the sand as well, thus it could not reach Gordon and Skilton.
At this point Gordon radioed his main support crew for assistance. This assistance would automatically eliminate the team's time from the race, but it was the only alternative if the crew was to start the next day.
Using special information from the race organizers the team's main chase crew in a Hummer H1 carefully made its way to the last Check Point on the stage where they met up with a helpful Mauritanian military patrol which offered assistance in locating the race car.
Even knowing the GPS coordinates nothing could be done until dawn, as the dunes are so difficult to navigate in the dark that the team would have risked stranding its only hope for extraction.
By this time, of course, the Hummer's official race time had expired so the only hope was to take the maximum time loss for the Special Stage and restart the race the next day in Atar.
At dawn the crew finally located the H3 team and replaced the radiator but it was now another race against time to make it to Atar to restart the next stage between Atar and Nouakchot, some 170 kilometers away. The official closing time for the restart was 1 p.m., but officials graciously allowed the H3 team a half-hour grace period to make the start.
It wasn't enough. The Hummer arrived one hour beyond the official allotted time and the Hummer was disqualified.
Gordon's team still didn't give up. After a few hours of sleep, Gordon and Skilton, driving the still damaged car with support trucks in tow, took off for Nouakchot hoping to convince race officials they would be willing to accept full-time penalties if they could reenter the race in Nouakchot.
Gordon was not only trying to give his sponsors Hummer, Jim Beam and Toyo Tires as much exposure as possible but also to give his team more open desert racing experience with an eye toward next year's event.
The decision of the race officials, after much careful consideration, was still negative but they did grant the team the right to run the next day's Nouakchot-Kiffa stage for experience. Since Nouakchot is a day's layover for rest and repairs the Hummer crew is again working round the clock to ready the car for its final appearance in North Africa.
After completing the 9th Stage the Hummer will drive directly to Dakar for shipment home. Once back at the team's headquarters in Anaheim, Calif., Gordon's off-road crew will completely disassemble the H3 and begin preparations for the Baja 500 in June.

DIN Next is a typeface family inspired by the classic industrial German engineering designs, DIN 1451 Engschrift and Mittelschrift. Akira Kobayashi began by revising these two faceswho names just mean condensed and regularbefore expanding them into a new family with seven weights (Light to Black). Each weight ships in three varieties: Regular, Italic, and Condensed, bringing the total number of fonts in the DIN Next family to 21. DIN Next is part of Linotypes Platinum Collection. Linotype has been supplying its customers with the two DIN 1451 fonts since 1980. Recently, they have become more popular than ever, with designers regularly asking for additional weights. The abbreviation DIN stands for Deutsches Institut fr Normung e.V., which is the German Institute for Industrial Standardization. In 1936 the German Standard Committee settled upon DIN 1451 as the standard font for the areas of technology, traffic, administration and business. The design was to be used on German street signs and house numbers. The committee wanted a sans serif, thinking it would be more legible, straightforward, and easy to reproduce. They did not intend for the design to be used for advertisements and other artistically oriented purposes. Nevertheless, because DIN 1451 was seen all over Germany on signs for town names and traffic directions, it became familiar enough to make its way onto the palettes of graphic designers and advertising art directors. The digital version of DIN 1451 would go on to be adopted and used by designers in other countries as well, solidifying its worldwide design reputation. There are many subtle differences in DIN Nexts letters when compared withe DIN 1451 original. These were added by Kobayashi to make the new family even more versatile in 21st-century media. For instance, although DIN 1451s corners are all pointed angles, DIN Next has rounded them all slightly. Even this softening is a nod to part of DIN 1451s past, however. Many of the signs that use DIN 1451 are cut with routers, which cannot make perfect corners; their rounded heads cut rounded corners best. Linotypes DIN 1451 Engschrift and Mittelschrift are certified by the German DIN Institute for use on official signage projects. Since DIN Next is a new design, these applications within Germany are not possible with it. However, DIN Next may be used for any other project, and it may be used for industrial signage in any other country! DIN Next has been tailored especially for graphic designers, but its industrial heritage makes it surprisingly functional in just about any application.License
