Korean GP 2012
Sunday Team Quotes
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st): "I think it was a perfect day for me and the team. It was important to get a good start. I was able to out-accelerate Mark and get side by side, I had the inside for Turn 3 and a good exit, which meant I could stay ahead for Turn 4. I was in the lead, but we have seen before that it doesn't always stick. My one mistake today was a lock-up going in to Turn 3, but with the tyres it was marginal for everyone. You couldn't push so much and my front right didn't look too happy from the inside many times. We were able to pull away in the first and second stint and hold it for the third. We will have to do our best to remain where we are now. We have to just keep it simple and do our job."
Mark Webber (2nd): "I had a bit too much clutch off the line, which was disappointing. I put up a fight on the back straight with Sebastian, as it wasn't all over. I tried to make a move, but once I pulled out of his slipstream, both of us were on the same speed. After that I was going quite well in the first part of the race. I couldn't use DRS, due to the yellow flags and after that it became a tyre battle. The second stint wasn't so good, as I went a bit slower to conserve the tyres, but that made the degradation a bit worse. The last stint was the strongest, but it was too late by then. Congratulations to Sebastian on the win and it's great for the team that we got a one two, especially for the Constructors', but I have mixed emotions. It was a good result, but of course, I wanted to get the top result today."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "A phenomenal team result. It was our first one two of the season and a great performance. Both drivers executed excellent races. Sebastian made the better start and he and Mark ran side by side all the way down the straight to Turn 3, but gave each other just enough room. Thereafter it was a case of tyre management and executing a good strategic race, which we did with both cars to seal our first one two of 2012. It's been a very positive ten days and it's important we continue to build on the momentum going into the final four races."
Cyril Dumont, Renault: "A fantastic result today. We started first and second and finished in the same positions, but with the drivers the other way around. Seb took the lead in the Drivers' Championship which is very good result from this race. We have had a good feeling from the last two races and I just really hope we keep this momentum going for remaining four."
Lewis Hamilton (10th): "I'm exhausted. I was told after the race that my car had suffered a rear anti-roll bar failure a few laps into the second stint. It was safe to drive - and I was trying my best with it, pushing all the way - but it was extremely hard to maintain a good pace. The balance was switching from corner to corner, the car was moving around along the straights, and it was eating up the tyres, which meant we lost further ground by being forced onto a three-stop strategy. To make things even more difficult, I then picked up some stray run-off Astroturf, which tangled itself around my sideboard winglet for the final few laps. It stalled the diffuser - so I had no rear downforce at the end, which made it even trickier to hang on to 10th place. In terms of winning the world championship, logic suggests that that's probably it for me. Having said that, there are a lot of points still up for grabs, so I'll keep pushing. Stranger things have happened, and I'll never give up. It doesn't feel great to experience days like these, but every cloud has a silver lining. Put it this way: it's good to see what's in your heart when you keep fighting. Days like these show the true spirit within."
Jenson Button (DNF, Accident): "I got a really good start and was able to get past both Mercedes. Into the first corner, there was a slight incident in front of me [when Sergio Perez braked late and tapped the car in front], so I was forced to run wide and push Nico [Rosberg] off the circuit. Nico and I then had a good drag-race down the back straight on lap one. I braked really late for Turn Three, then suddenly Kamui's [Kobayashi] car was climbing all over my car's right-hand side. It's extremely disappointing. This is a long race, with so much opportunity for everyone. It's a great circuit for overtaking, so it's surprising to see people behaving like that on the first lap. I no longer have a realistic chance to win the world championship, so I'll be enjoying myself over the final four races. Scoring points for the team in the constructors' world championship will be the most important priority, so I'll be focusing on picking up as many as I possibly can."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Lewis may have scored only a single world championship point this afternoon, but I'm happy to be quoted as saying that it was probably the hardest won and most heroically fought world championship point in McLaren's long history. His car suffered a rear anti-roll bar failure early on - and that destroyed his car's handling balance and made it impossible for him to look after his tyres. The fact that he nonetheless hung on in there, through thick and thin, battling wheel to wheel with drivers whose cars were undamaged, was truly mighty. Then, finally, to add insult to injury, he picked up a strip of stray run-off Astroturf, and that further compromised his car's performance - yet, even so, despite not being able to shake it off as it flapped about in the air-stream, he still clung on to 10th place. Believe me, it was an epic, stirring, majestic drive. As for Jenson, well, what can I say? He made a very good start and would, I'm sure, have driven a great race this afternoon. But he wasn't given the chance to show what he could have done because he was taken out, hit from behind, through no fault of his own. So today wasn't a good day at the office, obviously. But motor racing is like that sometimes. And we'll fight on. That's what Vodafone McLaren Mercedes' incredible team spirit is all about. That's why McLaren has won one in four of all the grands prix that have been staged since our team first entered world championship grand prix racing 46 long years ago. And that's why we'll be moving heaven and earth to win the four grands prix that still remain this year. It won't be easy, but I promise you we'll all be giving it our very best shot."
Fernando Alonso (3rd): "It was a difficult race and, come the end of the weekend, I am happy with the way things went. I was starting from the dirty side of the track, we had doubts over tyre life and what would be the race pace of our rivals. With all these concerns, managing to get to the podium meant I could breathe a big sigh of relief. It's true that Red Bull was quickest all weekend, but our aim was to be right behind them and we achieved that. It's also true that I am no longer leading the championship, but being six points down does not mean much, just as it did not mean much being four points up going into this race. It is also very significant that we are back in second place in the Constructors', as it means the team is on the case and that will be our strong point from now until the end of the season. Being in this position having pretty much skipped two races out of the last four says a lot. There are a hundred points up for grabs and everything will depend on how much we can improve over the coming races. Here we were much closer to the lead than we were in Singapore and nearer than in Suzuka, so we must continue in this direction. Vettel's three wins in a row? Well, he and Red Bull have had three perfect weekends so congratulations for that, but when everything goes smoothly for so long, inevitably sooner or later something has to happen. We are right in the fight for the title with a car that has never been the fastest. It seems we are capable of doing something good too, don't you think."
Felipe Massa (4th): "After Suzuka, this was another fantastic race for me. I managed to run at a great pace from start to finish. I expected that to a certain extent, because on Friday, I'd seen that over a long run, the car behaved very well. It's true that you can never be certain about how things will go in the race, but everything went smoothly. I always managed to get a hundred percent out of the car and I am very pleased about that. It was important to pass Kimi and then Hamilton, because from then on, I was able to run at my pace. Towards the end, I closed on Fernando but attacking him was never even up for discussion: I know how important every single point is in the title fight. The whole team is doing its utmost to help Fernando and I am there for him, just as the team is and as it has been for me when I found myself in the same situation. In this second part of the season, I have probably understood the best way to drive this car on these tyres: now I'm enjoying myself and it's a pleasure to make the most of everything I've got when sitting in the cockpit. Maybe there was also some pressure regarding my future coming into play: but at a certain point I told myself I should not think about it too much anymore and probably this approach helped. Now I feel stronger and when you enjoy what you are doing, it's the best. In between here and India there's a lot of work to do to improve the car, especially for qualifying. Let's hope the updates will give us a little something extra, which could be decisive when it comes to the fight for the title."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "This afternoon's result was a great team effort and anyone who thinks that losing the lead in the Drivers' championship might leave us discouraged is making a big mistake. We were well aware it would be a difficult weekend from every point of view. We were able to work very well, trying to make the most of the package we had, while avoiding making the slightest mistake. Fernando drove a great race at a particularly delicate point of the season, in which the stakes are very high: today's third place is very important for the rest of the championship. He was gritty and at the same time judicious on the opening lap, which we all know is very important in deciding the final race result. Felipe followed up his great race in Suzuka with another one here, also on the attack right from the opening lap and then again at other key moments, like when he overtook Hamilton. His future? As my friend Laura Pausini (Italian pop singer) would say, "Wait and see..."Clearly, at the moment Red Bull might seem unbeatable in everyone's eyes, but I can remember the same thing being said about McLaren on Sunday afternoon in Singapore: the wheel turns quickly this year...It is equally clear that we must make a step forward in performance to respond to the one made by Red Bull. We are well aware of that and we are working day and night to succeed. There are four races to go at the end of a fantastic and very uncertain season: we will not let up, not even for a second, you can be sure of that!"
Pat Fry: "This Korean weekend saw us make the most of what we have right now. That can be seen as a positive in one sense, because it means we did a good job, without any mistakes in any area, from the strategy to the pit stops, from the optimisation of the car to the performance of the drivers. The downside is that doing our best was not enough to be the best, at least this time. That means we have to improve our performance level, especially in qualifying: clearly if you can start further forward you have a better chance of putting other cars under pressure, even if they are faster than us in terms of outright speed. That has to be our main objective over the next few days. Today the way we managed the race lived up to our expectations, with strategy based on tyre degradation. Fernando and Felipe both pitted twice, with Option-Prime-Prime the tyre sequence. We did our best but it was not enough to beat those who started on the front row, while our race pace was clearly superior to the rest of the field. We will have to do our utmost to be as well prepared as possible for the remaining four races in order to give our drivers a car with which they can always be in the fight for the top places. We have lost the lead in the Drivers' classification but we have moved up one in the Constructors'. There is still everything to play for in this very open and fascinating championship. The hierarchy among the teams changes quickly, first one way then another this year and there is no reason why that cannot happen again now."
Mercedes GP
Michael Schumacher (13th): "There are some races where nothing comes together and which you simply have to move on from straight away. This was one of them. We didn't manage to get the tyres working properly over the race distance, which made for inconsistent lap times, and accounted for our step back in performance. So we will write this one off, look forward and hope that we will be able to get back on the front foot again in the upcoming races."
Nico Rosberg (DNF, Accident): "Unfortunately this has been the second poor weekend in a row for me, and it's very frustrating to be taken out twice in the first corners of the race. Kobayashi hit me from behind today and that was my race over. The one small positive to be taken from the weekend is our qualifying performance which was a small step forward. Now I'll look forward to India and hope for a bit more luck there."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "It was a difficult race for us today. Nico was hit by Kobayashi on the first lap for the second race in succession, and to lose him again through the error of another driver was extremely disappointing. Michael did all that he could today but we struggled to keep the tyres up to temperature. There were parts of the race where the tyres were working properly and we were more competitive, but too many periods where we struggled. We need to look at how we can improve that situation, and we will keep working hard to make progress at the final four races."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "Nico was once again the victim of a crash on lap one when a competitor drove into his car. This damaged the radiator which put an end to his race and, as in Japan, it was through no fault of his own. At no stage did Michael's car produce the grip we had anticipated. We need to quickly put this race behind us but not before a thorough analysis, with an understanding of why we got it wrong today."
Kimi Raikkonen (5th): "I think this was about where we should have been today. The yellow flags at the start didn't help when we were fighting with Felipe [Massa] but even so we didn't quite have the speed to match the Red Bulls and Ferraris. We also lost quite a bit of time behind Lewis [Hamilton] - mainly because the new exhaust system means you lose a little bit of power so it was hard to get past - but with a few more practice sessions I'm sure we'll learn a lot more to be able to improve it. I was pretty much on my own at the end but we had to keep pushing to maintain position and it wasn't so easy. The gap to Sebastian [Vettel] in the Championship is quite big now so it will be very difficult to catch him, but we'll keep pushing all the way."
Romain Grosjean (7th): "For sure I was a bit nervous starting the race today, but we did a lot of work this week trying to understand a few things and it's certainly helped. It wasn't the easiest start; there was contact behind me at turn three and I took evasive action but after that it was quite straight forward. I struggled on the last set of tyres as I had graining straight away meaning the performance was not great during the final stint. Maybe we could have achieved one place better - I think I now know every detail of Force India's car after spending so much time battling with Nico [Hulkenberg] - but I'm happy to make it to the chequered flag after a good, clean race."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "We knew we would not be fighting for the win here, and fifth for Kimi was the maximum we could have achieved today. We scored a good tally of points in the Constructors' Championship and although third position is slowly edging away from us with just four races left now we're not ready to give up. It was good to see Romain drive very sensibly despite all the pressure that is on his shoulders; I think he is learning from this experience and it will only make him a stronger driver. Kimi's racecraft was impressive as usual; his battle with Lewis [Hamilton] showed real class and he was maybe unlucky not to have been closer to the leading pack after being held up for so long. We will have the Coand œ‰ exhausts on both cars in India which should help us in our fight."
James Allison, Technical Director: "We've finished in our starting positions which is solid if ultimately unspectacular. In the first stint Kimi was able to live with the pace of the front runners and had it not been for a costly period spent tucked up behind Lewis [Hamilton] I think he could probably have stayed in touch with the leading group. We were also pleased with Romain's performance; he achieved what we had asked of him by keeping his nose clean and bringing the car home to score valuable points for the team. We didn't exactly set the world on fire today, but we can take some comfort from the fact we were more on the pace here than we have been since Hungary."
Riccardo Penteado, Engine Support Leader: "A good double points finish today to keep the momentum in the championship. We used the Suzuka engines on both cars this weekend and worked with the chassis team to optimise the Coand œ‰ exhaust system on Kimi's car. We have made solid progress in this area and with two weeks between now and the next event we will be able to further optimise the engine torque maps to be closer to the podium in India."
Force India-Mercedes
Nico Hulkenberg (6th): "That race was a lot of fun and it's great to get such a mega result. It wasn't easy though, and for most of the race I had the Lotus of Romain [Grosjean] pushing me and some great battles. Even the first pit-stop was very close with Romain, but the team did a great stop because it was important to stay ahead at that stage. I think the best moment of the race was the fight with Lewis [Hamilton] and Romain in the final stint when I got ahead of both of them in turn four. They both went to the inside so I just saw the opportunity to use the outside line and made the move work. That certainly put a big smile on my face. So a very positive day, an amazing job by the whole team and lots of positives to take as we head to India for our home race."
Paul di Resta (12th): "A tough race in many ways and it's fair to say that the result in qualifying hampered us quite badly. We expected the supersoft to be a better race tyre and so we saved it for the second stint. As it happened, the soft tyres did not last long enough at the start of the race and when I switched to the supersofts they started graining straight away. So we were not on the ideal strategy and that impacted the whole race, and after that I was always struggling with traffic and couldn't make any progress. On the positive side the car seemed competitive here with the points for Nico, but it's just a bit frustrating that we couldn't maximise it."
Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal: "Another very strong day for us with Nico battling hard and showing the race pace we knew was possible. The race-long battle with Grosjean meant Nico was always under pressure, but he kept his nerve and came out on top. I think Nico's move on Hamilton and Grosjean was outstanding and definitely the highlight of the race. With Paul we took a strategic decision to cover both Williams and Sauber potentially trying a one-stop race, but it soon became clear that two-stopping was the way to go. As a result Paul's strategy was compromised and it was difficult for him to move up into the points. However, he battled hard with Perez in the closing stages to prevent Sauber picking up the final point. We leave Korea with eight important points; we're closer to Sauber (27 points behind) and have good momentum heading into our home race in two weeks' time."
Sergio Perez (11th): "It is a big shame that we didn't score points today. My first stint was really good, despite a little understeer which came from the incident after the start when I damaged the front of the car. But our plan was good and the strategy seemed to work out. Then unfortunately we had a problem at the pit stop and could not recover from it. This was when we lost the race because I dropped behind a group of cars. Nevertheless towards the end it again looked like there was a chance of scoring a point. My car was quick, I overtook Paul (di Resta) and Lewis (Hamilton) had a problem. But in the end I just didn't manage to catch him. Today, I think sixth would have been what we could have done in perfect circumstance."
Kamui Kobayashi (DNF, Damage): "This is a race to forget. Initially I had a good start but then we were four cars side by side approaching turn three. I had Nico (Rosberg) to the right and Jenson (Button) and Sergio on my left hand side. Someone hit my rear tyre and then it was impossible to control the car, but I had to brake at some point. I didn't manage to avoid the accident, and I feel very sorry for ruining someone else's race, and certainly this was not my intention. It was just a very difficult moment and I had nowhere to go but I think it was my mistake. I pitted for repairs but my car had too much damage to finish the race so we had to give up after 17 laps."
Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "This was a disappointing race for us, after we had been able to improve constantly during the weekend. Kamui's race was ruined after just a few corners, and Sergio was unlucky at his first pit stop when he lost time due to a malfunction of the pit system. It's a real shame because he drove a great race and finally only missed the last point by a few tenths of a second."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "After the start both our cars were damaged. Sergio made contact with a car and damaged the nose cone. Kamui's car was damaged at the front and the rear where the punctured tyre destroyed the floor. We were not sure if the car was still safe to drive, therefore we decided to bring him in. Sergio was well under way in his first stint. He was able to open the gap to Michael (Schumacher). Then we timed his call so that he would have been out in front of a group of four cars. But then we had a problem with the pit system with the green light not going on, which is something we have to look into. Because of this he lost four seconds, was therefore behind this group, and was stuck there because he couldn't overtake. Without this I think eighth would have been easily possible."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jean-Eric Vergne (8th): "I am really really happy, as this was definitely my best race of the year and the car worked well with very little tyre degradation on both the Prime and the Option. I did not take too many risks at the start and I had a nice fight with Perez in the early stages and then with Di Resta and also Hamilton. Dan and I were on different strategies and both seemed to be effective. Towards the end, I was told that my team-mate had a problem, but overall for the team, to get eighth and ninth with Daniel also driving a great race is a fantastic result. Everyone in the team worked very hard on improving the car throughout the weekend. In general, we seem to be making progress and this track seemed to suit us well, which I think we can also expect to be the case in India. The best part of the race? Seeing the chequered flag in the points!"
Daniel Ricciardo (9th): "I got a good start and made up a couple of positions on the opening lap. After that, I got into a really good rhythm and was able to pick off cars ahead of me one by one. Jev was in front and as he got past a car, I was able to follow him through. The second stint also saw us jump a few cars, getting ahead of Schumacher and Force India. Then my last stint on the Prime was my best until, with about ten laps to go, I found myself going straight on at Turn 3 and at first I thought it must have been a suspension failure because the car suddenly shot to the left and I could not stop it. However, I realised I could keep going, even if every time I braked the car pulled to the left and I was locking the front a lot. Unfortunately, that cost me eighth place, but at least I was able to give it up to my team-mate. I'm still grateful to be in the points with such a problem, although it's a case of mixed emotions, as it would have been my best result of the season. But for the team overall, it's been a very good day."
Franz Tost, Team Principal: "This matches our previous best performance of the season in Belgium, when we also finished eighth and ninth with Jean-Eric and Daniel in that order. We are definitely improving in this second half of the season and it is the third time in the last four races that we have finished in the points. I would rate this as our strongest performance of the year. We improved the car from Friday onwards, eventually adopting a very effective set-up on both cars, that saw us perform well in Q1 on Saturday, before running into difficulties in Q2. However, this afternoon, both drivers were able to show the true performance level of the car, combined with a good strategy - both drivers on a two stop, with Daniel starting on the Option and Jean-Eric on the Prime. Towards the end of the race, Daniel, who had come up to eighth place from 21st on the grid because of his gearbox penalty, reported over the radio that his car was pulling to the left, which meant Jean-Eric was able to get past him in the closing stages. We were helped in fighting off Hamilton by the fact his car was slowed when it picked up some of the artificial turf from the side of the track. It was a very strong performance from the whole team, as can be seen from the fact that our drivers passed no fewer than six cars, more than any other team did this afternoon. Now we can look forward to continuing this positive trend in India in a fortnight."
Pastor Maldonado (14th): "At the beginning of the race, we were too hard on the front tyres which meant that we couldn't go as fast as we would have liked. After the pitstop things were better and we were able to do 30 laps on that set of tyres. Overall, we were not fast enough this weekend, so we need to work out why and try to improve for the next race."
Bruno Senna (15th): "It was a frustrating race for me because I didn't make many mistakes this weekend which makes it all the more disappointing to finish where we did. We need to work hard on the issues we've been having because the grid is very close. We will keep pushing and if we have a weekend where we get everything together, we can be in the points again. Hopefully next weekend will be one of those."
Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: "We split strategies today with both cars having clean races, but ultimately our pace was simply not strong enough and we ended up with Pastor in 14th and Bruno right behind in 15th. We now need to regroup and sort out a few performance inconsistency issues on the car ahead of the next race in India."
Laurent Debout, Renault: "It is a disappointing result to finish out of the points, but it was hard to make up ground from our starting position with the marbles and debris off the racing line. With two weeks between now and the next race we can work with Williams to come back stronger in India."
Vitaly Petrov (16th): "For me that was a good afternoon, probably the best result I could have had today. The car was working well throughout the race and I had a good battle with Heikki right from the flag. Today was really all about managing the gap to the Marussias, getting through the first corner without any problems and from there making sure I looked after the tyres. In the first stint that was pretty hard as the options I started on were graining quite early on, but both sets of primes I used in the second and third stints worked well and I was able to take it to the flag without any problems."
Heikki Kovalainen (17th): "That was a pretty straightforward race that for us was really all about making sure both cars finished clear of the teams behind us without any problems. I had another good start and was ahead of my teammate through turn one after starting on the supersofts. They started to go off relatively quickly, particularly the right front, which we knew would probably be likely in the race so for both stops we opted for the softs and they held up well for most of the afternoon. To be honest it was a pretty quiet race for me. We were easily able to stay ahead of the teams behind, we didn't have any problems with the car and we probably got as much as we could out of the car today."
Narain Karthikeyan (20th): "We opted to get the race underway on supersoft tyres and the start was good as I got past a few cars. But perhaps it wasn't the best option because we had quite a bit of graining in the front tyres from the start which made me struggle with some understeer. But when we changed to soft tyres the balance of the car was pretty good. I think a one-stop strategy was too much for the front tyres but we had to take the risk. It's been a tough weekend but I'll keep the positives which is to have finished the race after two races not doing so and the Indian Grand Prix which is on the horizon."
Pedro de la Rosa (DNF, Throttle): "We were anticipating a tough race but the start was good. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the throttle pedal since the fifth lap. At the start it would get slightly jammed but as the laps went by it got worse so the team decided to pull me out. I think they made the right decision because, not only was the car very difficult to handle and we were going slower and slower, but it was also dangerous. After this tough weekend we must now leave this behind, look ahead and think about the next race."
Luis Perez-Sala, Team Principal: "We knew it wouldn't be an easy race but we went for it. Narain, after his bad luck in qualifying yesterday, completed an impeccable race today whereas Pedro was the downside of the day. But there was no alternative because of safety reasons. After the Japanese Grand Prix where we took a step forward, this weekend we were unable to fight with our direct rivals. It's been tough but in two weeks we will have another opportunity to continue with the progress we'd shown up to now."
Timo Glock (18th): "I was very excited at the start of the race as I could see that we could really challenge the Caterhams. I had a big chance in the middle stint and managed to close the gap like in Suzuka. Then we took the risk to go on to the Supersoft option tyre and I was just waiting for Heikki to make a mistake. Unfortunately there was no opportunity and on the long straight he had the KERS, so I couldn't attack him. I was the first car with the blue flags which dropped me back in the final phase of the race. Also our last stint was quite long and the front right tyre really started to go away. I had a lot of front wheel locking and in the last eight laps I just decided to focus on bringing the car home; I took it very easy and gentle. Our strategy was a good one and it was great to be racing and really threatening the Caterhams again. It was very motivating and my lap times were very consistent, so I'm really happy with the progress. Well done also to the pit crew, who did a solid job again. I hope there are tracks coming where the KERS effect may be slightly less and we can continue to keep fighting hard like this."
Charles Pic (19th): "The first part of the race was tough for me because of having to start at the back of the grid due to our engine change. I was stuck behind the HRT cars for a while and I lost quite a lot of time. Because of this, it wasn't long before I was already too far out of touch with the Caterhams ahead and it was difficult to try to come back from this. Looking at the weekend overall though, I was very pleased with my qualifying and also our pace in the race was good, particularly in the last part of the stint. I look forward to being able to discover another new track for me in India."
John Booth, Team Principal: "We enjoyed a great 'race' today - in the true sense of the word. As we said yesterday, we had taken a conscious decision to slightly compromise our qualifying lap time in order to give ourselves the best chance today of fighting with the Caterham cars. Timo drove to his own exceptionally high performance standards and we were particularly - and pleasantly - surprised at his pace in the first stint; we had expected to be slightly further away than we were. We knew that our best opportunity was to save our second set of Supersoft tyres for the final stint, however the second stint was also pleasantly surprising. In effect, we effectively held pace with both the cars in front and a perfectly timed pitstop onto the Supersoft tyre forced Caterham into a pitstop which ultimately resulted left us able to race Kovalainen hard for several laps whilst attempting to pass in the DRS zone. It was always going to be a tough race for Charles starting from the back with the engine penalty and once again we are sorry for him that this had to happen, particularly given his strong performance in qualifying yesterday. Ultimately, being stuck behind the HRTs and unable to get the tyre temperature, compounded by the low track temperature we saw in the race, cost him dearly. That said, amongst the traffic of the final stint, he did manage to demonstrate very good pace. It has been said many times already, but today really was a demonstration of how much our lack of KERS has compromised us. Having said that, we are still happy in our overall development strategy, which was to concentrate on improving the aerodynamics this year. Given our performance in the second and third sectors, this has proved to be a very sensible route for us."

I Bought You (Please Love Me!)
I was approaching 8 and not having an easy time with getting older. It wasn't like a gradual fall from grace - when you wake up one day and say, hmmm, bthings are not like how they used to be or how I thought they would be when I was this age. No this was fast. Everything suddenly turned to crap.
Before, when I was five and six, I was - really without question - very cute. Everyone said it. I was naturally blond the only blond in my Jew family but still tan. I was naturally blond and tan, a coveted look.
Then, all of a sudden, my hair changed into this really unexciting mousy brown color and frizzy, hard to manage. Nobody chooses that look! My body also did things I didn't like There were new bumps in my midsection, and my teeth were spitting out of my mouth constantly. It was entirely unmangeable.
Before, when I was younger, the way I acted, my little harmless misbehaviors - like talking or singing or talk-singing during nap time or when my parents were on the phone - were adorable. I was a kid! Now suddenly, the same behavior was obnoxious. I was supposed to "know better." Nobody was buying my shtick anymore.
You get it. I was having a mid-life crisis. They happen every seven years, according to the Buddhists, and this was my first time through the fire. So, I did what a lot of us do, especially the ladies, when faced with the passing by of our moment in the spotlight: reproduction. I got a pet. I wanted something that would be all mine, that I could show people - see, isn't that cute- and thereby reflect back on my own value. My friends all had dogs and cats but I was allergic. I envied all of that cuddling and attention.
We did have a parakeet, Connie. She let me touch her, for a week. But then we bought her a mirror, and she stopped letting anyone touch her and started smoking. (My mom smoked in her direction while watching TV.) Connie spent all day looking at herself, smoking, and complaining. She seemed too much my mother's pet to fulfill my needs.
So, for my eighth birthday, I picked out a hamster. It was little, like me, and had shaggy mousy brown hair, like me. We were meant to be.
Unfortunately, we didn't bond, as hoped. I may have screwed up with the naming. I don't have that gift for naming; I'm not creative like that. had a pile of stuffed animals, but I named them according to species: Tiger, Bear, Seal. I gave them their true names, as I saw it. My friends had like Princess Patty and Mr. Snuggles and endowed them with attributes. I didn't see it.
I also assumed I was different from my friends in how I "loved" my stuffed animals: I used them for my evening pleasures and then tossed them on the floor, where they spent the night. I felt guilty about this, as I'm sure some rapists do.
I'm saying, I had a complex that I might not be nurturing enough for a pet. And these insecurities seized upon me when I finally named my new hamster, after much tortured deliberation…Coco-Sweets.
What a terrible name! I hated it right away! I got stuck between two choices of what i thought other people might name a hamster, I didn't like either, so I put them together with a hyphen. It sounded like a cheap breakfast cereal. It embarrassed me to say it aloud, but I didn't think you could change your mind once you named something.
I really liked the hamster though. She would stuff her cheeks with food and bury it across the cage. When stuffed, you could see the outline of the corn pieces in her bumpy cheeks. It killed me with the cuteness and science of it all.
Sadly, Coco-Sweets did not return any interest in me. Aside from hiding food, she spent all of her time focused on one thing only - running away from me. If I tried to hold her, she'd run from one arm to the other, jump to the nearest surface, and run away. If I directed her towards my face, say for a kiss, she'd flip around and run away.
Coco-Sweets spent her short life on this earth strategizing and executing one brilliant escape from captivity after another. She figured out how to escape from her first home, a square metal cage with a big wheel in the middle.Instead of running in circles, Coco-Sweets would spend hours climbing the wheel from the outside, stretching out and balancing it steadily with her mighty little hamster thighs and then carefully opening the two locks on the top with her nose, in a circle, until she could pop open the lid and run away.
We piled books on top of her cage, but she'd balance on the wheel and move her hamster head back and forth until the books fell off, one by one, and then open the lock and run away. She'd conduct these escapes late at night and sleep all day in preparation, more rejection of our play time.
I tried to accommodate her needs. I got her in one of those clear hamster balls and let her "run free." But Coco-Sweets (no fool) would hit the wall and just stop there, unwilling to put on the show of a happy pet. We got her a larger home - an "environment" more than a cage, really - with multiple rooms connected by plastic tubes. I was even jealous of its size. But Coco-Sweets (tough mistress) spent all of her time climbing a plastic tube, balancing herself against its slippery edges, and using her hamster nose to undo the lid (tightened by my strong father) and run away.
I was impressed. I told my friends that my hamster was clearly a genius, reflecting well upon her owner. I said that to cover up for my deeper feelings of resentment, frustration and worry.
I bought you! Why don't you love me back? It's your job!!
I purchased Coco-Sweets to gain a sense of control over my life, but instead she made me a ball of anxiety. Every morning, I would open the door to the den, filled with dread that she would be out of her cage. If she was, I would scream like a maniac.
Because hamsters in cages are very cute; hamsters out of cages are rodents running around the house.
My parents would usually find her under the couch in the den (a scary place), but a few times, Coco-Sweets wasn't there. I'd sit in school all day, worried and unable to concentrate. Once my mother showed up and poked her head in the classroom: "We found her! We found Coco-Sweets!" "Thanks!" I replied, then whispered, "But don't say her name out loud. It embarrasses me!" It turned out that Coco-Sweets had climbed sixteen stairs and was under my parents' bed.
Once I brought Coco-Sweets to my friend's house for a pet play date. I left her for awhile. When I came back to check on her, she was just climbing out of the top of the cage with my friend's giant dog in the corner watching her, literally licking his lips.
Coco-Sweets became an everyday reminder of the worst-case scenario: death. It didn't help that my brother would tease me by holding her over the garbage disposal.
Then it happened: the worst-case scenario. One day, in a reckless mood, I played with Coco-Sweets on the kitchen counter. I let her walk near the edge, and she fell - a skyscraper's distance in hamster height - landing on the hard cold floor. I killed her, I thought. And regretted my entire life. I picked her up, and she stood there, frozen in my arms. Then, gradually, she began to move, very, very slowly coming to life. She shook off the trauma, slowly walking towards my face, looking scared and vulnerable. She needed me. I kissed her.
In her nearly brain-dead state, Coco-Sweets and I finally had a moment. What a sweet little pet. She recovered in an hour and was running again. What a relief.
Anyway, the school year ended, I turned 9, and my family and I took a trip to Europe, my first trip abroad. We left Coco-Sweets and Connie in the pet store where we bought them, and I left behind all of my angst and worry.
Usually, we took summer road trips, and there was a lot of tension from hours on the road but Europe made up for it. It was amazing. I saw Stonehenge and the Louvre. I saw the Pompidou Center in Paris which blew my mind about what architecture could be with its tubing around the outside (It reminded me of Coco-Sweets' home.). I went to Holland and saw boobies in the Red Light District and Anne Frank's house and had profound, ineffable feelings about the social order. In Europe, my mind felt creative and happy for a change. I wasn't obsessed with controlling everything to make up for a lack of attention.
I couldn't stop smiling. I still remember my father telling me that I looked happy and seeing how that made him happy.
We came back and went straight to the pet store. I was excited to see Coco-Sweets and start on a new, healthier, less codependent path together. They handed me my hamster, but her skin looked lighter. I mean, it wasn't her. "Oh sorry, wrong pet. Ha. Oops!" They came back with another hamster, not her either. And another! It turned out that Coco-Sweets had died, and they were trying to pawn off another hamster on me.
I cried and yelled at them: Excuse me?! I might just be nine years old and not great at naming pets, but I've just come from the Red Light District, okay? Give me a little credit. I know my own hamster! A year's worth of frustration and tension poured out of me, newly liberated from my experience abroad. I protested in anger at their mistreatment of Coco-Sweets and their condescension towards me. They were speechless. My father shrugged.
I was angry and sad, but in my heart, I felt that Coco-Sweets was, like me, finally free. I pictured her escaping their entrapment, running away to the Giant Supermarket next door, and exploring the aisles as I had explored Europe.
I didn't want a substitute hamster and never got another pet after that. A new me was born in Europe, the authentic me, who didn't exploit animals by naming and controlling them. We may not have connected in life, but in her death, little Coco-Sweets, or "Hamster", and I blazed a trail for the freedom and voice of the small, brown and oppressed.
Disclaimer: I haven't owned another pet since, but I did kill about a dozen rats and mice while living in Manhattan.

Under the Black Flag: The Romance and the Reality of Life Among the Pirates
Random House, 1996 - 296 páginas
"Pirates have become so much a part of story and legend that is easy to forget they actually existed in the flesh. Their roving lives left behind little in the way of historical record; thus our image of them is derived from a smattering of fact overlaid with three centuries of ballads, plays, epic poems, and films. But how does our conception of pirates compare with the reality, and why has such a romantic aura become associated with murderers and thieves?" "Pursuing that question, Dr. David Cordingly, former head of exhibitions at England's National Maritime Museum, has mined a wealth of original sources - eyewitness accounts, court documents, national archives, and more - to create the most authoritative and definitive account of the great age of piracy since the 1724 bestseller The General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates. Under the Black Flag explodes many closely held myths and replaces them with a truth that is more complex and every bit as fascinating. Here are the real stories of Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, and Henry Morgan, along with lesser-known but equally noteworthy pirates such as Henry Avery (who captured an emperor's treasure fleet but died penniless) and the cross-dressing women Anne Bonny and Mary Read. From the havoc of battle to the isolation of life at sea, Under the Black Flag makes tangible the day-to-day existence of pirates. How they attacked, how they governed themselves, what they wore, what ships they used, why they flourished in the years around 1720, and what brought their reign of terror to an end - all is revealed in this rousing and revisionist history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Adopt an Anzac
'Adopt an Anzac' is a project that a few people in Levin took on board after a challenge was put out at the 2006 Anzac Day celebration by former Mayor the late Sonny Sciascia, that these men, especially World War I casualties whose names appear on the Levin memorial, were fast becoming forgotten and something should be done to 'make them people again'.
The project was extended to include all memorials in the district - Foxton, Shannon, Manakau, Moutoa, Opiki, Tokomaru, Ohau - as well as World War II and other conflicts. Shannon has one Boer War victim and Foxton and Shannon each have a Vietnam victim, who has also been recorded.
By Anzac Day 2007 researchers had completed a short biography of most of the men from the district who died and are listed on the memorials, honours boards and Rolls of Honour in the Horowhenua district. A few have proved 'difficult' as they have common names or they don't seem to be locals and there is nothing found to date to pin point them to the area they are remembered in.
This is an on- going project as people find out about it and send us information. Some men we have found more information on than others, but that was to be expected especially if they were 'out of towners' and there are no relatives in or around the area.
One member of our group wrote articles that once a week went into the local paper, which helped enormously in getting more information.
A book on the World War I casualties was published in October 2014. Horowhenua and the Great War is available from Barbara Timms, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The attendees at the State of the Union gave Cory Remsburg, a U.S. Army Ranger who has been fighting to recover after a roadside bomb nearly killed him in Afghanistan, nearly a 90-second ovation toward the end of President Barack Obama's address.
Remsburg's story is incredible. He has been on 10 deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2009, a roadside bomb blast left Remsburg nearly dead, face down in a canal with shrapnel lodged in his brain. After nearly five years of recovery, he is able to speak, stand, and walk.
In his address, Obama held Remsburg up as an example of a member of the U.S.'s remarkable military families.
"Cory is here tonight. And like the Army he loves, like the America he serves, Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg never gives up, and he does not quit," Obama said.
Here's the ovation that followed:

SANDUSKY, OHIO: Wildlife officials are doing tests on waterfowl carcasses and water samples in an effort to determine what killed more than 50 geese and ducks at a state care facility for veterans in northern Ohio.
Police tell the Sandusky Register the birds were collected and buried last weekend at the grounds of the Ohio Veterans Home near Sandusky. The property includes a nursing home and living spaces for clients that require less assistance.
A spokesman for the Division of Wildlife says water samples and dead birds were collected from the property for testing, though he wasn�t sure how quickly the results might be available.

Google's Nexus 4 Bumper/
Google's $300 unlocked Nexus 4 handset goes on sale tomorrow, and with it customers will have a very dull choice of protective case accessories. The official Nexus 4 Bumper is Google's shameless Apple iPhone 4 Bumper copy, only less appealing and pretty much available in no color choice at all even though Google claims you can customize the look of your Nexus 4 using the Bumper case. Typical of Google, the're no saying what the Nexus 4 Bumper case is actually made from or what it actually features. But as far as we can tell, it looks to have integrated volume and power buttons with the obvious port cutouts. And at just $20, it's safe to say the Nexus 4 Bumper is made from a standard TPU plastic material that should give you a decent amount of protection to help avoid cracking the front and back glass panels in case you drop it.
If the Nexus 4 Bumper looks too boring to you, don't fret because companies like Spigen are already working on brining their great case offerings designed to encase the Nexus 4.

Harnessing Haiti's Sustainable Energy Resources
Worldwatch's Climate and Energy team present initial findings from their Sustainable Energy Roadmap for Haiti
The Worldwatch Institute, in conjunction with the Office of the Minister Delegate for Energy Security and supported by the International Climate Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety, will host a stakeholder consultation workshop on February 21 at the Karibe Hotel Convention Center, in Pétionville, Haiti.
At the workshop, Worldwatch will present the initial findings from its Sustainable Energy Roadmap project, which provides concrete socio-economic data and actionable recommendations that decision- makers can use to bring about a more sustainable energy future in Haiti. The final report will be presented to the Government of Haiti in the coming months.
With no fossil fuel resources of its own, Haiti is highly dependent on fuel imports and domestic fuelwood to supply its energy needs. This dependence has resulted in enormous economic and environmental costs. Worldwatch's Sustainable Energy Roadmap aims to identify ambitious, but realistic and practicable, avenues toward an energy future that is more socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable.
This workshop convenes key policymakers, stakeholders, non-governmental actors, and business representatives together in one place to discuss the report's initial findings and to foster a dialogue about the challenges and opportunities for Haiti's transition to a more sustainable energy future.
For more information or if you would like to attend this event, please contact Katie Auth at email@example.com.

Welcome to the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse
The New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse is your national centre for research and information on family and whānau violence in Aotearoa New Zealand. We provide information and resources for people working towards the elimination of family violence. The Clearinghouse is based at the School of Population Health, University of Auckland.
Message from the Co-Directors
"Family violence is a long-standing and complex problem. It has contributing factors from multiple levels of society. Family violence is preventable, however this will require long-term commitment and sustained action across many sectors. Along the way, we will continue to need high quality responses to those who have experienced violence, and those who have perpetrated it.
Given both the complexity and the urgency of the problem, there is a critical need to ensure that we respond based on the best available information and evidence. This can save time and resources from being spent on activities that are detrimental, or ineffective.
Information and evidence in the field is still emerging. Further research investment is required as we continue to work toward answers. In the meantime, we are committed to providing a platform for accessible, high quality information about what is currently known, and an 'institutional memory' for what has been tried in the past."

A New Senior Moment
Zumba classes, sushi chefs and kilns in the crafting room: the newest generation of 55-plus communities caters to active—and demanding—retirees.
At Vivante on the Coast, a $62 million retirement community under construction in Newport Beach, Calif., renters will be able to relax in a hydromassage room or take a dip in the indoor saltwater pool. They'll watch movies in a private theater and sip wine from Napa Valley's finest vineyards. And when they're hungry, a sushi chef will be on standby.
The Vivante is the newest generation of residential housing catering to retirees who demand far more than the old-school retirement homes with bland food and drab décor. Today's...

If you're learning to drive or teaching your teenager the rules of the road, you may be bewildered as to where to start.
We're dedicated to providing free instruction and advice for everything related to driver's ed and learning how to drive.
What this site is not: We are not a driving school. We are not selling online training courses. In fact, we don't sell anything at all. We give a few product recommendations, but we're a completely free and friendly driver's ed resource.
Why this site was created: I created this site because I was almost killed in a car accident when I was a teenager. The driver of the car fell asleep at the wheel on the highway and our car flipped several times. We barely escaped with our lives. Since then, I've been passionately involved in teaching teens how to drive safely. So, now that you know why this place exists, please enjoy!
Quick Links - What can we help you find?
- I want DMV Practice quizzes!
We've created eight interactive quizzes that you can take right now. If these don't satisfy your appetite, we've got links to more free sources around the net.
- How do I teach my teen to drive?
Don't worry, you're not the first parent to take on this difficult challenge. We've created a step-by-step curriculum that you can use with your new driver.
- I need specific driver's ed know-how.
Whether it's how to parallel park or how to handle a skid, we've written about it! Check out our section on driving articles.
- Show me the videos!
"Showing" is usually better than "telling", especially when it comes to learning specific driving maneuvers. Check out the driving videos.

(2) Luthi's only elected office has been as a member and Speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives.
(3) Luthi is considered an authority on royalties paid to the U.S. government by companies leasing the public domain.
Randall B. Luthi (born 1955) is an attorney and rancher from Freedom, in northwestern Lincoln County in western Wyoming, who served as a Republican in the Wyoming House of Representatives from 1995—2007. He was the Speaker for his last two-year term, 2005—2007. Prior to 2005, he had been the House Majority Leader. In Wyoming, Speakers traditionally retire from the House upon the expiration of their tenure as presiding officer. Luthi was thereafter named by Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne as the Director of the Minerals Management Service.

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the conference report of the surface transportation bill, commonly referred to as the "Highway Bill," which included a weight exemption for RVs in the Federal Bridge Formula.
"I am pleased that my Republican colleagues and I were able to work together to make a common sense change that will help the RV industry preserve and create jobs," U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., stated in a news release "The RV industry is crucial to northern Indiana's economy. RV manufacturing has long been a major economic driver in places like Elkhart by directly employing thousands in RV plants and thousands more in suppliers' factories."
The Federal Bridge Formula had previously set a maximum gross axle weight of 20,000 pounds for a vehicle's single rear axle, while buses, although similar in design to RVs, had a single rear axle weight exemption of up to 24,000 pounds. With the passage of the conference report of the surface transportation bill, RVs now also have that exemption.
As a result of the weight exemption, a second rear axle does not need to be added to an RV. A second rear axle would add about $10,000 to the cost of the vehicle, without adding any perceivable value to the purchaser of the vehicle. Therefore, the exemption will help RV manufacturers produce RVs and allow dealers to sell more affordable RVs, supporting the RV industry and creating jobs.
Last January, Donnelly and his Republican colleagues, Hoosier Congressmen Marlin Stutzman, Mike Pence and Larry Bucshon, sent a letter to the chairman and ranking member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee advocating for this exemption on behalf of the RV industry.

IMHO Welcomes Eppie-winner Teri Thackston!
IMHO is pleased to welcome a special bonus guest this month to IMHO, Teri Thackston. Teri is a native Texan, practically-native Houstonian, and life-long lover of storytelling. Teri is a Houston romance novel columnist for the Examiner and her award-winning novels, published by Cerridwen Press, cover the spectrum of romance, from suspense to paranormal to historical.
Teri's paranormal romantic suspense Final Words won the prestigious 2009 Eppie Award from EPIC for the Best Fantasy/Paranormal Romance.
In Final Words, a near-fatal hit-and-run leaves Medical Examiner Emma St. Clair able to talk to the spirits of people she autopsies. Read an excerpt here.
Teri encourages everyone to go green by trying an e-book at least once: "They provide each one of us with an easy way to contribute to saving the environment. They use no paper or ink and there are no shipping costs. All kinds of wonderful books can be downloaded straight to your computer or hand-held reading devices. There are even some cell phones that can double as a reader...So save some money and time. Save some gas. Save some trees. Try an e-book today." She's going to help you do that by putting her contact information in IMHO's gift basket for a free download of her award-winning e-book Final Words.
IMHO: Teri, welcome to IMHO as our first e-published author guest! Tell us how your thriller/chiller Final Words fits our "Weddings & Beginnings" theme. (This should be interesting…LOL!)
TT: Well, TJ, believe it or not, it does. We're almost through June—the bride month, first month of summer, a time of new beginnings. How many weddings have occurred by now? How many new lives have begun? The number stretches the bounds of possibility.
That's what I tried to do with my paranormal romance, Final Words—stretch the bounds of possibility. There is no wedding in the book, but the story can be linked to new lives, to beginnings. Medical examiner Emma St. Clair is experiencing a new life: she's returned to her hometown, she's newly divorced, she's newly…alive.
You read that right. Emma, the victim of a hit-and-run driver has been brought back to life from a near-death experience. And there's something else new for our lovely young medical examiner. She's returned with the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead on her autopsy table. And do they have stories to tell—chiefly the truth of how they died, which is often at odds with the available evidence.
Of course, she hides this dubious gift in order to keep from being labeled emotionally disturbed. Who would trust a doctor—even a doctor for the dead—that claims to communicate with ghosts? We hear about such things but do any of us really know a person who's had a near-death experience? I do. One of my dearest friends died on an operating table and she saw things on the other side that definitely test the bounds of possibility. And she came back a new person.
Now Final Words isn't my friend's story. It's Emma's. It's fictional. But my friend's experience proves—at least to me—that it's possible. Emma has real emotions, real doubts, real fears. She doesn't want to lose her job as a medical examiner because it's the one thing in her life she feels she can control. But the spirits give her information regarding their deaths and she feels obligated to take that information and find the evidence to prove the truth.
Of course this is a paranormal romance, so Emma's new beginning must include a new love. Enter Detective Jason MacKenzie, a man who lost a friend in the accident that "killed" Emma. He's also still traumatized by his sister's death a year earlier—in another hit-and-run that remains unsolved. Because of his losses, Jason vows to bring this deadly driver to justice.
Then Emma uncovers a serial killer at work and puts her new life at risk to find him. Learning that another detective was one of the killer's victims, she enlists Jason's help. Of course when she solves cases with information she shouldn't know, he focuses his investigation on her—and investigation becomes attraction. Emma tries to hide her ability but secrets can be dangerous and as she draws closer to the killer, she finds her new life and love in real danger.
IMHO: Wow, Teri, sounds chilling and romantic, a fascinating combination. So, IMHO readers, have you ever experienced any unexplainable phenomena you think might make the basis of a good spine-tingling tale?
Let Teri know by leaving a comment here, and if you want to be eligible to win the "Weddings & Beginnings" gift basket this month full of autographed books by Deeanne Gist, Kathryn Albright, Gemma Halliday, Kathy Carmichael, TJ Bennett, and a free e-book download from Eppie-winning bonus guest Teri Thackston, as well as a $20 gift certificate to Target, be sure to leave a comment for at least one other guest this month. And stay tuned for our final guest this Wednesday, June 24, 2009, fellow Medallion Press author Kathy Carmichael! Comment away!

I have lived in two houses that had spirits in them, plus I was visited by the spirits of my father and my brother after they died (many years apart): My father, I actually saw standing at the foot of my bed; my brother came to me in a dream. But I wasn't spooked by any of these incidents, so I'd really have to work to make them suspenseful.

No spirits although I feel sometimes like I'm being watched over bevolently.

Terri, the books sounds really interesting. I've always wondered what happens around that we aren't able to see.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. Speaking of ghosts, I heard a first-hand account from a waitress yesterday at lunch at the Wunsche Brothers Cafe in Spring, TX. I've always heard it was haunted and she said that the ghost occasionally shows up during the day--even customers have seen him! She turned around one day and he was standing right behind her--as solid as anyone else. He looked at her for several seconds and then just vanished!

I'm convinced there are angels around us...too many things happen where that's the only answer.
Thanks...I love ghost stories, too. If I could write only one genre, that would be it.

Can't wait to read your book, Teri!
The funniest ghost story from personal experience? We had this redneck, good ole' boy who haunted a boutique where I used to work. He liked knocking down displays and throwing clothes. We forgot to warn a new girl though. The first Sunday afternoon she worked, a dress leapt a yard from where it was hanging to land on floor. The new girl freaked. When I explained it was just Bubba, our resident ghost, she ran around the shop screaming. (Luckily, no customers came in while she was doing this.) She quit two days later.

- Teri Thackston said...
That's hilarious, Suzan...but I'm sure it wasn't to that poor girl!
- 11:39 AM, June 22, 2009
There have been many times that I dream of something and then find that thing happening a few days later. It's odd and always freaks me out for a minute.

Hi Teri,
Your book sounds intriguing!
I sometimes get a feeling to do or not do something and have learned over the years not to ignore that feeling.
- 1:32 PM, June 22, 2009
- Teri Thackston said...
We have to listen to our feelings. I read a book years ago called The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. ALL women should read that book. According to him, our first instincts are usually the right ones and our subconscious is constantly working to keep us safe.

I haven't experienced any great unexplained event more like little coincidences like thinking about someone and then they call that day.
- 4:28 PM, June 22, 2009
I read your book - all of your books actually! And I think Final Words is my favorite. It has the perfect balance of suspence and romance. I'm looking forward to your next one.

No spirits here, I don't think I have ever been around any either.

I'd like to extend a warm "Thank You" to Teri for being our guest host today. She's a dear friend and a grand person, so be sure to support her by buying her books and leaving her a comment!
Thanks, Teri.
And come back on Wednesday as we go back to our regular guest host spot with our final guest for the month, funny lady and fellow Medallion Press author Kathy Carmichael.

My husband once lived in a little apartment before we got married. Often when I stayed there, I would be woken up in the middle of the night with my husband sitting up in bed talking. He told me, "they're here but they won't hurt us. I can see them there and over there." We had to turn the bed a different direction to stop this.

Welcome to a colourful garden wedding with a touch of whimsy! The bride wears a beautiful strapless dress with pin fold design by Watters Brides, which is accented by a cute bridesmaid dress with sweetheart neckline in a fantastic chartreuse shade by J. Crew. The palette is bright, colourful, and fun featuring shades of chartreuse, red, and yellow. Long before these garden nuptials took place, the guests received brightly coloured yellow invitations that are great indicators that the theme of the day will be love AND fun! For a fun whimsical twist straight out of Alice in Wonderland, the reception is decorated with beautiful flowers in unique mismatched teacups and the place cards are hung elegantly from the trees. The guests beat the heat with tasty red and green slushie drinks and enjoy delicious macaroons in the colours of the day. At the end of night when the moon and stars are high in the sky, the guests are spent home with a token of the couple's appreciation in a lovely gold box hand-tied with a chartreuse ribbon and a personalized tag. It will be a long time before anyone forgets this garden wedding!
All three of the colours in this palette would make a fantastic choice for bridesmaid and groomsmen colours. They are all bright and eye-catching - perfect for a brightly coloured and whimsical spring or summer wedding. However, I personally believe that chartreuse is the best of the three options, just because red and yellow flowers will really pop against a beautiful dress in this green shade!
Dress by J. Crew.
Depending on what colour you choose for your bridesmaids and your groosmen, you really need to make it pop! This colour palette really lends itself well to a more whimsical wedding, so be sure to have fun with your accessories - play around with coloured plastic beads, fun fascinators, or ties with bright prints.
Both fascinators from etsy seller thehoneycomb.
Fascinator embellished with strawberries from etsy seller whichgoose.
Chartreuse and red earrings from etsy seller AFineDistraction.
Chartreuse necklace with ribbon from etsy seller localovespirate.
{Bouquets & Flowers}Since this colour palette is perfect for a fun spring and summer wedding, play around with your flower options and consider using flowers that are a little less traditional like gerbera daisies. Extra accents like berries, wire curlicues, or fern leaves would really play up the whimsical side of this colour palette.
{Stationary & Favours}
This is where you can really have fun and show off the unique quality of your and your fiancé's relationship. Explore the different uses of solid colours in your invitations and stationary or if you want to have a softer look try fun prints and patterns. For your favours, get creative! Add a special touch with a personalized tag or an oversized ribbon. Or, think outside of the (favour) box and give your guests a unique gift like a hand fan, umbrella, or a teacup!
These deliciously colourful cakes and cookies are sure to make your wedding a sweet treat for your guests!
Stop in next week when I look at a fabulous palette of Aqua and Shades of Purple! See you then!
