Glides are only transitional sounds. They are intermediate to Consonants and Vowels, combining the characteristics of certain central-aperature consonants with the wide or expanded quality of vowels, but differing from vowels in not having a fixed configuration. ...in representing glides the peculiarities of consonants and vowels are blended: the accented fingers, by being straightened, contribute a consonant characteristic; while the second phalanx of the thumb, by being held at an angle to the plane of the palm, imparts to the glide positions the wide, without giving them the firm, quality of vowel positions. <p> Glides-Indicated positions are distinguished by having the accent finger straightened, and the accented voice phalanx of the thumb in contact with that finger's second phalanx. They are adapted to illustrate the easy transition from Vowel to Glide. Glides-Indicated possess exactly the same phonetic value and significance as the Glides which they respectively replace. When used with a High Vowel, have the third finger accented.  Primary glides-indicated have closed unaccented fingers.

Beach Grass (Calamagrostis arenaria or Ammophila arundinacea), also known as Seasand Reed and Mat Grass, is found almost exclusively on the first line of coastal sand dunes; their extensive systems of creeping underground stems or rhizomes allow them to thrive under conditions of shifting sands and high winds. It grows from two to three feet high with stout roots running from twenty or thirty feet long. The leaves are wide, rather short and of a sea-green color.

Edward established his role in the modernization of American agriculture when he invented a "revolving hay rake" in the mid 1800’s that allowed one man to do in three hours what three men could do in a day. Relocating to Marion, Ohio, Huber patented his hay rake and began a full line of agricultural implements.

General Nathaniel Lyon (1818 - 1861) was the first Union general to be killed in the Civil War and is most known for his actions in the state of Missouri at the beginning of the war. General Lyon is a controversial figure from the Civil War because some credit his quick action and hard line Unionism for stopping the Missouri secession but others question his influence and role in events such as the Camp Jackson Affair.
