	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : The Wheel of Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)

		To counter this threat, the Wheel caused the Dragon, the champion of the Light and a channeler of immense power, to be born.

	First Drive: 2004 BMW 5 Series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This isn't usually a problem because by the time most cars are due for a redesign (about every five to seven years) they have likely been surpassed by at least one or more competitive models.
		While we would like to say we experienced the new 5 Series in all its many forms, the truth is that only 530i models, with either the six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, were available during the press introduction.
		Inside the 2004 5 Series, we noticed several 7 Series design cues (iDrive being the most obvious), but we were grateful to see that, even on automatic vehicles, the shifter still resides in the center console rather than on a truncated lever hiding behind the steering wheel.

	BMW’s xDrive All-Wheel-Drive System - GermanCarFans.com
		Together with information provided by the wheel sensors on the speed and lateral acceleration of the car, as well as engine data, xDrive is able to detect current driving conditions reliably at an early point in time, sharing out wheel torque accordingly between the front and rear axles.
		With the exception of specific modifications tailored to all-wheel drive, the chassis and suspension is in principle the same as on the rear-wheel-drive 5 Series.
		Hence, xDrive is able at all times to feed exactly the right level of drive power to the respective axle when taking a bend at speed, significantly reducing under- or oversteer in the process.

	GLOBALIZATION: KEY CONCEPTS
		A starting point is recognition of the heuristic nature of the concept of [global] "restructuring," as commonly used in the burgeoning literature on the reordering of the world economy during the late twentieth century.
		Jerry Bentley: had such a concept in mind when he supported: a general definition that works for all relevant times and places, then periodizing and recognizing dynamics at work that are susceptible to analysis.
		Our expectation is that by the time we meet in Montreal at the ISA Congress in July 1998, we will not only have clarified many of the important concepts sheltered under the word, globalization, but also reached some consensus about the tags that can most conveniently be used to represent these concepts.

		Depending on what dollar amount the contestant has spun on the wheel, the host (with the help of the “audience”) calculates the score for that spin and keeps score on a blank area of the puzzle board.

	dragonsworn [book review] - Wheel of the Infinite, Martha Wells (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Duvalpore, the Celestial Empire's city of temples, is the site where every year, the wizardly Voices of the Ancestors must gather to renew the wheel of the Infinite, an image built of sand, (empowered with magical chants, visualizations and incense), that represents the key to the shape of reality.
		An especially important centenary version of this rite is approaching but an inexplicable, ominous, stormy fl region has marred the Wheel's representation and all the sorcerous efforts of the Voices have failed to restore it to purity so far.
		Marvelously inventive, swift-paced, witty, exciting, Well's latest fantasy is a testimony to her talent as a writer, for Wheel of the Infinite is not only about saving the world; it is also about saving Maskelle from self-doubt and isolation.

	Amazon.com: A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7): Books: Robert Jordan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The seventh volume of Jordan's bestselling high fantasy series carries on the tradition of colossal, dauntingly complex storytelling established by the previous entries (Lord of Chaos, 1994, etc.).
		To wit: The Wheel of Time Series is now at 10 books plus a prequel and a guidebook but less has happened to the characters and the plotline in books 7-10 than did in any two books of the first five.
		The Wheel of Time series is doubtless epic in its proportions.

	VN Boards - A different view of time in an MMORPG
		Just to take the concept one step further, the instance could be the entire zone at night so that every player camping in that zone would be in that instance.
		For example, if you spend a lot of time playing in the spirit realm, perhaps that results in slight to severe weakening of "physical" stats in the "real" realm, a condition like resurrection sickness, but perhaps with hours of gradual recovery, instead of 10 minutes.
		I remember a game a long time ago, where you had to go into cyberspace (you would log into a computer, leaving your avatar at the terminal, while you took over the cyberspace vessel) to complete certain missions.

	WoT Non-linear Time Theory: White Ajah HQ
		Well, here it is, my theory on non-linear perception of time, for those who want their brains tied in complicated knots.
		We even divide time into portions: seconds, hours, days, years, millenia, etc. Given this, it is difficult to understand the mechanics of omniscence and omnipotence, and of beings able to see the past, the present, and especially the future before it happens.
		Hence, the greater being doesn't have a memory (either something is presently occuring for the being, or the being doesn't perceive it), which is good, because a memory requires brain cells to keep it in, which would saddle the greater being with a physical body.

	FreshAlloy.com: Nissan Maxima SE by Street Concepts
		Even with low profile Toyo Proxes 245/35R19 tires in the front and 265/30R19 tires in the rear, this wheel and tire combo was strong enough to put up with some seriously pothole-infested Southern California roads.
		Street Concepts didn't have a chance to upgrade the stock rear rotors and calipers yet, but they plan on at least installing cross dilled slotted rotors for the rear discs.
		Street Concepts did install a direct port wet NOS system in the car, but it had not been fully tuned before our testing.

		Not to worry, there is plenty of Porter in Peru, from the roadside welcome sign to his birthplace to the cemetery where he is buried with his wife, Linda, to the exhibit inside the Miami County Museum at 51 North Broadway.
		Other cars in the exhibit were on loan from board members and “friends” of the museum, including Nicola Bulgari, vice chairman of the Bulgari luxury brand and a renowned auto collector.
		Some concepts, to be sure, have tiny chrome buttons or almost invisible slits of pop-out handles.

	Time Dilation - 12/08/99
		The indication is as long as they stay within the energy field of their machine, which produces its own gravity field (and thus slower time), they will not be subject to the accelerated time fields of the earth and so age at a much decreased rate.
		With the fairy ring concept they also have different physicalities OR the ability to remain invisible and unheard at will since the accounts indicate you can walk past a fairy ring (probably more like a PORTAL) where a party is going on with lights, drinking, music and revelry and never hear or see a thing.
		as compared with the time dilation effect where there is a RATIO of difference between the speed of time in a 'fairy circle' and the speed of time on the large volume/density of the Earth.

	wotmania: feed your wheel of time addiction
		Miss Persophone here sent in some of her original Wheel of Time artwork, and as I was looking at them all, I came across this picture of Aviendha.
		Since she picked up her first Wheel of Time book at the age of 13, she's worked on her concepts of the characters, but she has only receintly put those concepts into reality.
		She went back and put to paper a new concept for Lanfear, and I must say that when I opened the e-mail, I was stunned...very very good.

	Reinventing the Wheel
		The Rover Cycle Company in England was one of the first to produce bikes with the new chain drive mechanism--a safer design attached to the rear wheel, as opposed to the previous direct drive mechanisms on a large front wheel.
		At this point, time essentially stops; the bicycle has had the same core design principle for nearly 120 years, although both complexity and sophistication have nevertheless increased in that period.
		Both wheels were disc wheels (to minimize air drag), while the conventional racing handlebars were replaced by simple bars which curved upwards at the ends--enabling a more aerodynamic position and providing the pre-cursor for tri-bars.

	VN Boards - Efficient Raiding and alternatives for endgame.
		It's basically a series of quests that are somewhat harder than your average quest, and they have to be performed in order in one gaming session.
		I think the "Endgame" as a concept itself is a falacy from forcing single player dynamics(which weren't meant to be multiplayer on that scale, OR perpetually sustained) into a massively multiplayer scale, and sustained in a very clumsy way, past their intended function.
		I think people are so engrained into the mindset of a linear path, and then having to do things once you "get there", that they have trouble with the idea of there not BEING a "there" to get to, even if they complain about the mouse-wheel grind of the raids that they do,...

		All events happen again and again, with such a huge time lag between epochs that history has conveniently forgotten the previous era's events by the time they come around again.
		The Wheel of Time is driven by the True Source, the "driving force of the universe," which has a male half (saidin) and a female half (saidar).
		Oh, calm down, I'm not spoiling a thing; this in fact is a serious criticism I have of this series as a whole.
