1960: The Image of the City
For day 3 of the 50th anniversary series, Reiter's Bookseller Jim Wood reflects on The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch:
"I first encountered it as a young bookseller in 1975, building the stock of a technical bookstore. In 1979, I began architecture school at the University of Maryland. I was inspired by the book to think about buildings in the city. I went back to the book again, this time as a student. I did not become an architect, taking another route. The book and its image has stayed with me as a later graduate student, and has informed my thinking ever since as an urban resident. I still have the copy I purchased in the 1970's and I just pulled it off a bookshelf in my apartment. I have put aside many books that have been a part of my life, not this one."
Production facts about The Image of the City from Production Coordinator Kate Elwell:
"The Image of the City has hit 35 printings. A cover PO from 1964 to Farnsworth Press specifies that we would like the covers printed offset rather than letterpress. At the 7th printing in 1971, we did 10,000 copies. The 14th printing was in 1977."

The Peer Mentoring Program launched in 2013, in response to a history of disabled students expressing an interest in connecting with one another socially and academically.
The Peer Mentoring Program matches older students with disabilties to incoming disabled students in a mentor/mentee relationship. These older students provide support and advice to their mentees based on their own experiences navigating Smith with a disability. The Peer Mentoring Program hosts monthly mentor/mentee bonding events, an annual Disability Awareness Day event, and a special first-year orientation. Individual weekly meetings between mentor and mentee are encouraged.
Now in the fourth year of our program, returning students with disabilities continue to volunteer to introduce new students to life at Smith. We hope to continue to increase the strength of our mentoring program by including more programming activities, offering ample social opportunities, and including YOU on our mentor/mentee list!
How to Be Involved
Want to be a mentor? If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please fill out the peer mentor application. Mentoring entails weekly check-ins and attending monthly events with your mentee.
Want a mentor? If you would like to have a mentor, please fill out the peer mentee application. We will work to match you with someone who fits your interests and disability concerns.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love

Sandy Carter: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) -- Off the Record
Playing the Game !
Hey Gang! I am here in Asia Pacific. I have been to Japan, Korea and am now in China. I love Asia -- the people, the food, the culture! One thing that I learned in Asia many moons ago, was the game. Gaming is very big here. It is the way people play, relax and learn. To that end, we announced here in Asia the introduction of learning SOA and BPM through serious gaming. 12 Universities here are accepting the challenge of being bold enough to test this out! The universities are: Beijing Institute of Technology (China) BUAA (China) Chuo University (Japan) Harbin Institute of Technology (China) Keio University (Japan) Peking Unversity (China) Singapore Management University (Singapore) Sun Yat-sen University (China) Tongji University (China) Tsukuba University (Japan) Waseda University (Japan) Wuhan Unversity (China) Why Serious Gaming? Well now is the generation of Xbox. Who is Generation X-box? (or Digital Natives if you dont want to use Xbox). According to the Entertainment Software Association, in 2007 the average game player is 33 years old. 47% of all gamers fall in the 18-49 age range. 24% are over 50. The average age of MBA students varies by school, but generally late 20's for full time program, late 30's for exec. mba here are already more Gen X & Gen Ys, the "digitial natives" than there are baby boomers! We at IBM are trying to use games with a curriculum to help students learn and have fun! Our mandate -- have fun and • aggressively ignore any hint of formal instruction • lean heavily on trial-and-error (afer all, failure is nearly free, you just push "play again") • includeslots of learning from peers but virtually none from authority figures • is consumed in very small bits, exactly when the learner wants, which is usually just before the skill is needed • allow for people to take risks in a safe environment • allow for players to achieve a skill or talent which is not only meaningful but perceived as having value So we announced Innov8 at IMPACT 2007 and then GA ed it to universities in November. With INN0V8, we started with the objective of providing an immersive experience that simulates real life, with key 'teaching moments'. It is fundamentally different from traditional e-learning. For me, learning occurs through dialog with other characters - in primarily peer roles, and self-discovery, via trial-and-error, in the mini games contained in the game. Each mini-game is preceded by a tutorial that explains how the game works... just in time!! The experience is risk free.. you can drive the fictional company into the ground without major penalty and so our goal is that we teache real world skills that our customers have told us they value... and are in short demand.. Why don't you try this out and see what you think! Click here to play the INNOV8 preview video.[Read More]
SOA Consortium!
I just finished my final business trip of the year...with the SOA Consortium! The SOA Consortium has grown from 11 members to 81 members this year. Richard Soley, the Executive Director of the SOA Consortium, shared that the Consortium has the fastest first year growth on any user group he has been involved with in 18 years of user community experience!!! IBM was one of the founding sponsors of the SOA Consortium. As a vendor neutral organization, the Consortium is an SOA advocacy group comprised of end users, service providers, and technology vendors, committed to helping the Global 1000, major government agencies and mid-market businesses successfully adopt SOA by 2010. This is not about Standards. This is about the evangelism of SOA in the marketplace and ensuring that companies the right level of help to be successful. This year the SOA Consortium has achieved a number of successes: 1. Conducted CIO Executive Summits in New York, San Francisco, Brussels and Jacksonville, and produced a whitepaper and webcast with the findings from the New York and San Francisco Summits. 2. Collected and published a set of over 20 customer case studies submitted by members that have been widely circulated showing the business value of moving to SOA 3. Recruited client members from companies and the US Government, including Wells Fargo, Kohl's, Avis Budget and the US Army, in addition to having analyst members such as Hurwitz and Associates 4. Produced webcasts and podcasts on the topics of 'Executive Insights on SOA Adoption', 'SOA Governance', 'SOA/BPM Relationship', 'Enterprise Architecture of the Future', and 'CIO SOA Concerns' 5. SOA Consortium moderated and staffed 4 panels at key Gartner events as well as having booths in the Gartner showcase areas, and have been invited to even more Gartner events in 2008, due to 2007 success 6. SOA Consortium produced over 10 well received and often blogged deliverables and press releases, all of which list IBM as a founding sponsor IBM has had a significant influence on the organization as one of the four founding sponsors with actions such as co-leading and driving one of the three Consortium sub-groups (Executive Suite SOA), which produced the highly regarded and downloaded set of customer SOA case studies Here are the podcasts....!

Happy SOA New Year!
Happy SOA New Year!!! Another fun SOA case study ! What is SOA? The most common analogy used to describe SOA is that of building blocks. Imagine standing side-by-side a toy car, and one built using Lego® blocks. The toy car represents a traditional IT application, and the one built of blocks represents an assembled application using SOA services. Both have the same basic function, but the car built of blocks can be easily modified – or even re-assembled into something completely different such as a toy airplane. An SOA Example: HousingMaps.com A good example of a composite SOA-driven application is HousingMaps.com. This consumer facing web application takes information from Craigslist about houses for rent or for sale and merges it with location data from Google Maps. The result for users is a location-based view of all the properties for rent or sale within a specific geography. Users can click on any spot in the map to see the detailed property listing from Craigslist. The application works because both Craigslist and Google chose to expose portions of their applications as services using standard protocols. If their respective applications were completely self-contained in the model of traditional IT applications, then the only way to achieve HousingMaps functionality would be to write an entirely new application from scratch![Read More]
Countdown to IMPACT 2008--Ready, Set, GO! April 6-11, 2008
Recently, Forrester Research published a telling report on SOA Adoption. According to Forrester's latest survey data, "the IT industry is continuing its strong adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA)." And satisfaction with SOA implementations continues to run high. Why? Because SOA continues to help businesses solve real business problems.
IBM's IMPACT conference offers the proof of the Forrester data. Check out the number of customer speakers that will be there to talk about their SOA implementations. This is one of the conference highlights that is truly superior.
The list of companies is right out of the Fortune 500: Aetna, AllState, Bank of America, Countrywide, Harley Davidson and more. Its a rare opportunity to hear actual customer case studies and SOA best practices.
And there's more...
And just for fun...

With cameras as features on smart phones and other common electronic devices, many people are being introduced to digital photography as a hobby. When they reach the limits of what those mini-cameras can do, they know it is time to look for a dedicated digital camera. However, digital cameras can be confusing. They have features and technical specifications that have evolved from the specialised world of film photography. This guide will explain some of those basic features and how they affect a camera's results.
Megapixels are often placed up-front in digital camera marketing, and some people think that the number of megapixels a camera can capture per image is a measure of its quality. However, a large number of megapixels only matters for print work and cropping, and they are only useful if they are part of a high quality photo.
Each digital photo is made up of tiny squares, or pixels. A megapixel is equal to a million pixels. When more pixels are present in a photo, it will be more detailed. A 1280 x 800 computer monitor can display a photo of approximately one megapixel at 100 per cent magnification. To determine the number of megapixels the monitor can display, multiply the two numbers in the maximum screen resolution and divide it by a million. For web work or for photos that will be displayed on a computer, a large number of megapixels is not necessary.
What is all that extra detail good for? It allows the photographer to make large, high resolution prints of the photos and to crop the photos, reducing them to a small part of the image that has been captured. However, the amount of detail in a photo also depends on the lens size and the supply of light available. So, a high resolution camera will often produce images that are not high quality at high levels of magnification. Because most digital cameras are high resolution, the number of megapixels a camera can capture will not be a key issue for most photographers.
Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO
In order to produce high quality images, a camera needs to be able to vary the settings for shutter speed, aperture and ISO. When a camera is on an automatic setting, this will be done without any input from the photographer. When a camera is set for manual use, the photographer can control these options. Because different settings for shutter speed, aperture and ISO affect each other and the nature of a photo, conscientious photographers like to be able to control them.
Shutter Speed
The shutter speed controls how long the camera allows light to enter. A fast shutter speed can make subjects in motion freeze in place and will work best in bright light. A slow shutter speed is needed to capture naturally lighted scenes in low light, but moving subjects will blur. Being able to control the shutter speed means being able to capture naturally lit photos in low light.
The aperture is the diameter of the opening where the image is captured. A wide aperture will produce a photo where objects at a wide variety of distances from the camera are all in focus. A small aperture will blur the objects that aren't in focus. More light is needed for wide aperture settings. Controlling the aperture means being able to create the type of photo where a person is in sharp focus and their surroundings are blurred.
In film photography, the ISO was the film speed, and it was controlled by the chemical mixture on the film. It allowed photographers to capture action shots in low light, but the trade-off was graininess in the resulting photos. It works the same way in digital photography. By increasing the ISO, it is possible to take action photos in low, natural light. However, they will not be high resolution. In digital terms, they will have fewer clean megapixels.
Optical Zoom
Optical zoom has a huge effect on the images that a digital camera can capture. However, many digital camera buyers focus on high levels of zoom capacity, while ignoring a camera's ability to take wide angle and close-up shots. For architectural and landscape photography, look for a camera with a wide angle lens. A wide angle lens will capture more area in a single shot. For close-up photography, look for a lens that is specially designed to take close photos. A zoom lens will not necessarily fit the bill.
Built-in Flash
A built-in flash allows a camera to sense the amount of light in a picture and to add a flash of light in order to produce a clear image at a fast shutter speed. This can be very helpful for capturing photos in low light. Almost all digital cameras, with the exception of a few high-end DSLRs, have a built in flash.
However, the harsh, direct light produced by a flash is not always the best choice for a beautiful photograph. When quality is important, many photographers prefer to use a slower shutter speed and a tripod, and to leave the flash switched off. For this to be a possibility, the camera must allow manual control of the flash. For this reason, a manually controlled flash is a valuable feature in a digital camera.
Types of Digital Cameras: Compact, Bridge Cameras, and SLRs
Although there are digital cameras marketed for special uses such as underwater photography and medium format studio work, the three main categories for digital cameras are compact, bridge and SLR.
Small and easily portable, compact digital cameras are often point-and-shoots. That is, they may offer limited control over the camera's focus and zoom, but wide angle capabilities are rare, manual controls are rare and the lenses cannot be removed or exchanged. However, these little cameras can produce amazing results for those who want to capture the moment without being distracted by the technical aspects of photography.
DSLR, or digital single lens reflex cameras, are the digital equivalent of high technology, professional level film cameras. They have interchangeable lenses, and sometimes they can even use vintage film camera lenses. They offer full manual control of all functions, as well as automatic settings. With a DSLR, the photographer can always control focus, flash, shutter speed, ISO and aperture manually if desired. DSLRs are physically larger and heavier than bridge and compact cameras. They are for people who value control over convenience.
Bridge cameras are somewhere in between compact cameras and DSLRs. A good bridge camera will be fairly compact and will use a single, very adaptable lens. It should also offer the photographer manual control over aperture, shutter speed, ISO, flash and focus. A bridge camera is best for a photographer who understands how to use manual settings and wants something more powerful than a compact digital camera. They are popular with knowledgeable photographers who don't want to be bothered with a bulky, expensive SLR kit.
Other Features
Image stabilisation will help to prevent blurring in photos taken in low light or by hand with a slow shutter speed. A timer allows a photographer to take self-portraits by setting the camera down or using a tripod. Face detection can help a camera focus on the right subject and can also play a part in the functioning of the timer. These are just a few of the advanced features that are available in digital cameras.
In Conclusion
A dedicated digital camera can expand an amateur photographer's range and a good digital SLR is a necessity for a professional photographer. Knowing the features to look for, based on how the camera will be used, is the key to making the right choice. Understanding and learning how to use the camera's features after it has been purchased is equally important. A digital camera is a tool, and understanding the basics is the only way to exercise creative control over the results.

Welcome to the oldest restaurant in Athens the legendary "vassilenas" restaurant.
Vassilenas restaurant is located in the same building since 1920, near Piraeus port. During the summer we welcome you at the plant filled roof garden, where you can have moments of relaxation.
The New Greek cuisine, based on excellent raw materials, precise preparation and contemporary culinary techniques, is cultivated in the kitchen and sitting room of the restaurant.
Vassilenas in fact is the first restaurant in Athens which introduced the concept of menu degustation since1928. Today we also recommend a ten courses menu, which changes according to the season availability of the raw materials.
The wine list is being arranged in the direction of a perfect match with the menu. Thus the gastronomic experience is entirely completed.
For this reason we are looking to cover as much as possible producers from Greece and overseas, whereas we alter the labels monthly.
The restαurant is open Monday to Saturday for dinner from 19.00 until 24.30

Constructon dissertation guide part 3 - Research strategy
This is part of a series of Construction Dissertation Guides for students. Click here for the whole series.
After collating relevant material and deciding on a focus for the analysis, teh next stage is to design an appropriate research strategy, that is, the way in which the research objectives can be questioned.
Very broadly, there are two types of research strategies available – 'quantitative' and 'qualitative'.
[edit] Quantitative
Quantitative research is an objective measure of definable factual evidence such as numbers and statistics that are capable of being analysed to determine the validity of a hypothesis.
Quantitative research can be used deductively to test a theory that can be presented in one of two ways:
- A hypothetical statement such as 'if x then y'.
- An educated 'guess'.
Data accumulated through the research process should help to prove or disprove the hypothesis.
[edit] Qualitative
Qualitative research is a more subjective measure of descriptions, views, opinions, and alternative theories. Depending on the approach taken, the research may use a smaller sample than quantitative research, but the data obtained can be more personal and in-depth. The relationship between the theory and the research is emergent or developing.
Broadly, the two categories of qualitative research are exploratory and attitudinal:
- Exploratory research is used primarily to gain a greater understanding of a particular subject. It is useful for diagnosing a situation, considering alternative ideas and discovering new ones that haven't been previously considered. The most common method of exploratory research is interviewing, where the raw data will be the transcribed answers. Another common method is a questionnaire (usually with open-ended questions).
- Attitudinal research is used to evaluate the opinions or views of individuals in a way that is subjective. Examples are questions that ask the individual to express their level of agreement with a statement, or to rank preferences.
[edit] Data collection strategies
[edit] Primary data collection
The main approaches to primary data collection are:
[edit] Surveys
Used to gather data from a large sample size within a defined time frame. Surveys can be descriptive, asking what?, where?, when?, and so on, or analytical, establishing the relationship between attributes of the survey.
[edit] Case studies
A small number of specific example analysed as a means of supporting the overall argument. Conclusions drawn will be related to the particular case studies and may not be easily generalised to the rest of the industry.
[edit] Problem-solving / experimentation
This is a more action-based option, where certain changes are introduced/proposed and the impacts observed and analysed. This may for example involve experimentation. Particular skills, and sometimes equipment can be required for problem-solving research and so it is not always suited to the time and resource restrictions of a dissertation project.
[edit] Secondary data collection
The data (statistical and/or descriptive) is sourced and accumulated from others rather than being obtained first-hand. It can be used to substantiate or clarify points being made by the researcher. This can be more efficient an approach in terms of time and cost, and can also assist in terms of useful comparisons between data collected via the primary methods. However, it may be more difficult to develop independent conclusions, and may not demonstrate to examiners that the researcher has the ability to accumulate primary data.
[edit] Statistical
These can be found in libraries and online, such as those conducted and published by leading institutions including RIBA, RTPI, BRE, CIOB, RIBA, CIRIA, ICE, IStructE, CIBSE and so on. See Construction industry institutes and associations for more information.
[edit] Descriptive
This is similar to analysing content during the literature review. With an eye on how relevant, factually accurate and reliable it is.
[edit] Check your approach
It is very important at this stage that you discuss your approach with your supervisor to ensure it is suitable before proceeding with the actual research.
Continue to the next stage: Questionnaires and interviews.

Elegant, leafy and filled with chic boutiques, cosy cafes, beautiful buildings and iconic attractions, such as Clifton Suspension Bridge and Bristol Zoo Gardens, Clifton is one of Bristol's most exclusive suburbs and picturesque quarters. Beginning with the Clifton Triangle and reaching into the area affectionately known as Clifton Village, this stunning Georgian area is always hugely popular with visitors.
The thriving hub of Clifton Village features pretty streets lined with boutiques and fine places to eat. For an unusual shopping experience, the Victorian Clifton Arcade houses some of the most unique shops in the city, selling everything from vintage jewellery to home interiors. Watch the Discover Clifton Village film here. There's also a great map to help you navigate, which you can download here, or pick up a copy from the Tourist Information Centre.
Linking Bristol City Centre with The Downs is the lively Whiteladies Road, home to excellent nightlife with many bars and restaurants lining the mile-long road. BBC Bristol is loacted here, offering behind-the-scenes tours.
At the end of Whiteladies Road is Queen's Road and the Triangle, home to Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and the Royal West of England Academy, both of which welcome visiting exhibitions alongside their excellent permanent collections.
Iconic Attractions
The area is best known for the Clifton Suspension Bridge, a stunning structure designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel which was completed over 150 years ago. The bridge is free to walk and cycle across (cars charge at £1) and offers magnificent views of the Avon Gorge and surrounding countryside. On the Leigh Woods side is a visitor centre which is open daily and displays the history of the bridge.
The Lido, on Oakfield Place, has been fully restored and offers year-round outdoor swimming, spa treatments and award-winning dining.
Clifton is also home to Bristol Zoo Gardens, one of the world's longest established and well-respected zoos. Explore 12 acres of landscaped gardens and find over 400 species of exotic animals from around the globe including a family of gorillas, Asiatic lions, tropical butterflies, reptiles and penguins. If you're looking for a little more action, ZooRopia gives visitors the chance to swing alongside gibbons, gorillas and lemurs before finishing with a zip wire onto the zoo's main lawn.
A relaxing environment
One of the most popular green spaces in Bristol is The Downs, made up of Clifton Down and Durdham Down. This huge area of protected parkland borders the northern fringes of Clifton and is home to the wonderful University of Bristol Botanic Gardens, which is located on the northern edge. A number of major events take place throughout the year and the area is a relaxing environment for walkers, joggers, cyclists and kite-flyers! It also boats fantastic views of the Avon Gorge from the sea walls.
Just across the Clifton Suspension Bridge is Ashton Court, a beautiful location for walking, jogging, golf, cycling and annual events, including the famous Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Hot-air balloon companies, such as Bristol Balloons and Bailey Balloons, offer flights from Ashton Court. You can also see the native deer in their large enclosed areas. Nearby Leigh Woods has a range of designated pathways leading you through oak, small leaf lime and ash trees. You can also try some adventuring and abseil or climb the Avon Gorge with Adventurous Activity Company.
Where to eat and drink in Clifton
Brilliant breakfasts, award-winning dinners and a proper taste of the West Country keep Clifton's diners happy from sunup to sundown.
Modern British favourites are the order of the day at The Clifton Sausage and fine dining can be savoured at the AA rosette-awarded No.4 Clifton Village. The Bridge Cafe and White Lion Bar in the Avon Gorge Hotel both feature a huge all-weather terrace boasting the best views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and a real favorite among the locals for a sunny afternoon.
For a taste of the West Country head to the Coronation Tap for a range of ciders including its exclusive press, Exhibition, or treat yourself to a taste of authentic Indian street food at Thali Cafe. The Lido restaurant features daily-changing menus that takes inspiration from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine while the River Cottage Canteen, first started by chef Hugh-Fearnley Whittingstall, is housed in a beautiful 19th-century church on Whiteladies Road. It serves fresh, seasonal and wild food.
Down on the Triangle, call into Friska for a range of fresh dishes made using responsibly sourced ingredients. End the night at Hyde and Co, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar famed for the quality of its drinks.
Clifton is a 15-20 minute stroll up Park Street from the centre, or you can also take the bus to the shops and bars of Clifton Village with a regualr service running every day (except public holidays). Find out more travel options at www.travelwest.info.

The Dragon Heir (original 2008; edition 2011)
by Cinda Williams Chima
Work details
The Dragon Heir by Cinda Williams Chima (2008)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An interesting story
Good next or perhaps last in Heir series. I liked continuing to follow characters that I met in the first two books, meeting new characters and seeing how all work to either make the problems worse or work together to resolve them. I also like the way Cinda Williams Chima imagines that magic could occur in small everyday American college towns.
Magic is real, and the people who use it are dicks.
Wizards have been engaged in a bloody battle for supremacy for generations, and they don't care who they destroy in the process. In [b:The Warrior Heir|213647|The Warrior Heir (The Heir Chronicles, #1)|Cinda Williams Chima|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41c83bLdLWL._SL75_.jpg|1072532], young Jack finds out that he has magic and that the wizards plan to use him as a pawn in their latest scheme. With help from the few wizard rebels, he manages to badly damage the wizards' power over the other magic guilds. In the second book, [b:The Wizard Heir|500743|The Wizard Heir (The Heir Chronicles, #2)|Cinda Williams Chima|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CS2visUEL._SL75_.jpg|488848], the growing band of rebels continue their fight to create an egalitarian magic society while keeping the non-magic users safe. But in [b:The Dragon Heir|2866413|The Dragon Heir (The Heir Chronicles, #3)|Cinda Williams Chima|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1206645200s/2866413.jpg|2529437] the wizards forge an uneasy alliance amongst themselves, and their combined power may be enough to destroy the haven of Trinity and all who have worked so hard to create it. The rebels' only chance to survive is to harness the power of the Dragon Stone. But the secrets of how to use the stone have been lost for centuries, and they're running out of time...
Sounds awesome, right? After all this build up, [b:The Dragon Heir|2866413|The Dragon Heir (The Heir Chronicles, #3)|Cinda Williams Chima|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1206645200s/2866413.jpg|2529437] should be the apex of excitement and epic adventure! And yet--it's actually kinda boring. There are so many characters, and they all get more than their fair share of inner monologues about their personal problems. Even though this is the final battle, Chima introduces all manner of extraneous characters and extra plot points, then forgets about half of them. It's an unfocused mess of a book, and the climax is an unsatisfying deus-ex-machina.
The world building is subpar (I'm still bothered by the fact that we never see any hint that there's a broader world out there--it's all either western Europe or America. If both sides are in such dire straits, how come they never thought of seeking out help elsewhere?) and the plot is inconsistent. Chima isn't great at creating novel, memorable characters, either--I literally could not remember which male teen was which. That said, when Chima focuses on Seph, Jack or Madison, the story comes alive. And Chima is one of the few ya novelists who doesn't do gender essentialism. I loved that the male and female warriors are described using the same language (none of that half-hearted bullshit about how the dude is so strong and brawny and the lady is "lithe" or "slender"--they both hack people to death with swords and have got the incredible fore-arms to prove it). The characters have a wide range of motivations, abilities, and goals, irrespective of gender. It's sad how excited I am to find a fantasy book without that set of stereotypes.
Overall, I'd recommend this series, but with the caveat that the last book doesn't live up to what came before it.
I only got into the book during the last 300 or so pages (there were 1,479 pages on my iPhone), which is such a shame. The first three-fourth of the book was really slow. I felt like nothing important really happened. However, the last part of the book was so action-packed, filled with tension and just plain AWESOME! I think it greatly makes up for the seemingly lackadaisical beginning. This seems to be the case with all of the books in the series. Boring & slow beginning + Totally mind-blowing ending.
The characters, Madison and Jason, really annoyed me. They were very whiny, but I didn't realize I had grown quite attached to them until the last part of the book. That fact that all the characters, especially Leesha and Seph, had grown and developed so much throughout the series made me so emotional! I would've given this book 3 stars but it gets a +1 because of its amazing ending and its amazing character development!
Overall, this was a pretty action-filled book with a fast-paced plot. It only picked up toward the end, so if one of your pet peeves is a slow beginning then this might not be the book for you. Also, why would you start from the middle of the series?!
Signing off!

"The covenant that was meant to keep the wizard wars at bay has been stolen, and Trinity must prepare for attack. Everyone is doing their part -- Seph is monitoring the Weirwalls; Jack and Ellen are training their ghostly army; even Anaweir Will and Fitch are setting booby traps around the town's perimeter. But to Jason Haley, it seems like everyone wants to keep him out of the action. He may not be the most powerful wizard in Trinity, but he's prepared to fight for his friends. When Jason finds a powerful talisman --a huge opal called the Dragonheart--buried in a cave, his role takes on new importance. The stone seems to sing to Jason's very soul -- showing him that he is meant for more than anyone guessed. Trinity's guardians take the stone away after they realize that it may be a weapon powerful enough to save them all. Without any significant power of his own, and now without the stone, what can Jason possibly do to help the people he cares about -- and to prove his mettle? Madison Moss can feel the beating heart of the opal, too. The desire for it surges through her, drawing her to it. But Maddie has other things besides the Dragonheart on her mind. She has a secret. Ever since absorbing the magical blow that was meant to kill Seph, she's been leaking dark powers. Although Maddie herself is immune to magic, what would her friends think if they knew what kind of evil lay within her? Trinity's enemies are as enthusiastic about her powers as she is frightened. They think they can use her to get to the Dragonheart -- and they'll use anyone Maddie cares about to make her steal the stone for them. Moral compasses spin out of control as a final battle storms through what was once a sanctuary for the gifted. With so much to lose, what will Jason and Maddie be willing to fight for -- and what will they sacrifice? Every man is for himself in this thrilling conclusion to the Heir trilogy"--Publisher description.… (more)

Trump takes a stand…
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke at Christian university, Liberty University, on Monday and said "Christianity is under siege."
"Somehow we have to unify," he said. "We have to band together. We have to do really, in a really large version, what they've done at Liberty. Because Liberty University has done that," Trump said.
"You've banded together. You've created one of the great universities, colleges, anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world. And our country has to do that around Christianity," he continued.
"So get together, folks. And let's do it. Because we can do it."
Trump also took time to address how Christians are being persecuted worldwide.
"We're going to protect Christianity. If you look at what's going on throughout the world … Christianity is under siege."
Trump's pro-stance on protecting Christians comes at the opposite end of the spectrum of President Barack Obama who is failing to address the specific persecution of the Christian church worldwide.
