Title: Hourglass by Myra McEntire

Grade rate: A-
One hour to rewrite the past . . .
For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn't there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents' death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She's tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.
So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson's willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past.
Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he's around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?
My Review
I really enjoyed Hourglass. It was an unexpected read with many twists and turns, but I loved the ride!
Emerson is a great heroine. I loved that although she is short and is beautiful and looks delicate, she is everything but. She has lived through tragedy, depression and the burden of an unusual "gift" and has conquered it all. That doesn't mean that it was easy, but she has a very strong character and it's open to possibilities. Emerson is funny, snarky, loyal and very stubborn. I really loved Michael and I trusted him instinctively from the beginning, even though it looked like he was forever holding back part of himself and a lot of information. The chemistry between Michael and Emerson was understandable given the premise of the book, but a little to instant for my taste.
I really like that Emerson had family that cared about her. Thomas and Dee are two characters that were attentive and loving and not MIA like so many parents seem to be in YA lately. I hope we learn more about Kaleb and the other members of the Hourglass in the next installment. One word about Jack: BOOO!
The plot is very original, even if you have read about time travel before. It was unexpected, interesting and difficult to put down. The writing was easy to read, straightforward and fairly fast paced, a lot happened in a short amount of time. I really hope to get a better sense of the work that the Hourglass does (and how) and that they can find Jack soon. I will eagerly await the publication of Timepiece, due in June.
About the cover: It is breathtaking, is it not? It portraits Emerson and gives the illusion of traveling, of movement and flow.

text: New York - Tesla is recalling 53 000 cars to address a manufacturing defect that could prevent parking brakes from releasing, the company said on Thursday.Tesla described the move as a "voluntary" recall taken after determining that Model S and X vehicles manufactured between February and October of last year "may contain a small gear that could have been manufactured improperly by our third-party supplier," the company said on its website.There have been no reports of accidents or injuries relating to the defect.Replacing parts"However, in order to be overly cautious, we are going to be proactively replacing these parts to ensure that no issues arise," the company said. The recall comes as Tesla remains close with General Motors as the US automaker with the highest market capitalization. Some analysts have expressed skepticism about the meteoric rise in Tesla shares given that the company still sells only a fraction of cars compared with GM or Ford.Tesla shares fell 1.1% to $302.24 in midday trade, giving it a market capitalization of about $50.1-billion, around $1.2-billion below that of GM's.

I'm sure we all seen the popular tibia movies such as "Toxic Fire" or "Sorc at War", I remember seeing them when they first came out and how awesome it would be to make something like that.
Then a few years later in 2008 I was playing Outcast, and a friend of mine named Trick Trick made a pretty killer WMV. I decided to ask him how he did it and gave making my own wmv a try. He told me the program names, and gave me some tips and walla.
I did a horrible job, I just wanted to try it. Its still uploaded on youtube lol (Back then i used alias Grimy/Death)
I went on to make a few more crappy (but not as bad) ones before starting my youtube channel.
Then after quitting outcast and moving to Oldera.net, I decided to make some practice films before I actually I made a movie. Once i got some basic knowledge of Vegas, I made a youtube channel and uploaded my first movie.
Rest was history, i made many many more. In fact, about 35 more. Since people seemed to enjoy them, and I would get decent view amount, i continued to do them.
Even though its not worth the time and effort to do them, its fun to re watch old movies you made.
If you want to know how to start, just youtube sony vegas tutorials, that how i learned. But you should not use Vegas like many people do, its not as easy as these other new programs that offer the same result.
But here are some programs that can be used.
Sony Vegas (For editing)
Adobe After Effects (For recording tibia screens)
Adobe Premire (For editing)
Snagit (For recording tibia screens)
Fraps (For recording tibia screens)
Anyway, after making a few Oldera movies more people started making tibia movies and they're awesome at it (check them out)
And feel free to look at my other channels that are not really tibia related
P.S. I got 4 tibia movies on this account too;

A Noiseless Patient Spider
by:Walt Whitman
A noiseless patient spider,I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.And you O my soul where you stand,Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold,Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.
I immediately connected with this poem when I first read it. The comparison of a venturing spider and soul fit together well in my mind. Aren't we all like the spider? As we continually send out our fragile gossamer threads into the world, we wait while some attempts fail, and others anchor in the most unlikely of places
.... May your threads translate into a fulfilling web.
.... May your threads translate into a fulfilling web.

Good evening,
The journey to work was something of a struggle this morning.
As the weather had been relentlessly bad over the weekend with rain continuing to fall on already saturated ground & further filling swollen rivers & waterways, I decided that in order to avoid missing my train (Iateness is top of my list for Room 101) I should allow extra time for my drive to the station.
There was a lot of traffic around & although the roads weren't flooded, there were parts where standing water caused all vehicles to slow to the pace of a brisk walk, so I felt my decision to leave neurotically early was a sensible one.
No sooner had this thought crossed my mind than I spotted ahead of me a long stream of tail lights whose blinking redness hinted at delay.
The impotent rage of being trapped & stationary kicked in quickly & was worsened by the looming departure time of my train (of course today would be the one day of the week it leaves on time) & given a further edge of exasperated bafflement by the knowledge that the roads on this part of the journey are usually faster & clearer.
It turned out to be road works. Perhaps not the most accurate term as the road wasn't actually being worked on but had been cordoned off in anticipation. Temporary lights were demonically restricting the traffic flow with the net result that I arrived at the station in time to watch my train heading slowly but punctually in the direction of Waterloo.
The platform was cold, wet & windy but I can console myself with the prospect that, should I be late again tomorrow (beta blockers on standby), it will still be chilly but at least the sun will be shining....
Hope to see you later,

Brother Noland: Composer, Innovator, Traditional Hawaiian Man
Brother Noland has deeply influenced contemporary Hawaiian music and is widely considered as the "Father of Jawaiian Music." Fluid in both Slack Key and standard guitar tunings, Brother Noland goes wherever the music carries him. "As far back as I can remember," Noland says, "I was always surrounded by the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music." Brother Noland is popular for his unique interpretations (or "Nolandization") of songs yet remains respectful of traditional Hawaiian music and culture.
Born and raised in Kalihi-Palama on the island of O'ahu, Brother Noland is most famous for his original song "Coconut Girl," which birthed the "Jawaiian" contemporary style (fusion of Hawaiian & Reggae) music. He has won numerous Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards including Best Reggae Album and his music is featured in several movies including "Pineapple Express" and "Snakes in the Plane." He is regularly featured in Slack Key Guitar festivals around the islands.
Brother Noland is an impactful player in Hawai'i"s music scene and one of Hawai'i"s most respected artists. He was honored in 2014 by the State of Hawai'i for a "Lifetime Achievement in Music" award. But despite all the accolades, Brother Noland has never forgotten his roots and the community. Through his philanthropy he helps at-risk youth define their choices and make a quality connection to the community through his Ho'ea Initiative, dedicated to teaching children about how to live off the 'aina (land) and the ocean. As a steward of the land, Noland has a deep connection to Hawai'i and even cares for acreage on the island of Moloka'i while preserving Hawaiian customs, indigenous plants and animal species. His music and community spirit always carries a message of positive reflection, while rooted in the reality we face today.
In 2013, he authored the "Hawaiian Survival Handbook" where he shares the outdoor skills he has developed over a lifetime spent in Hawai'i"s forests and waters. An author, singer, artist, poet, philanthropist, mentor, musician and family man, Brother Noland continually inspires and infuses creativity and innovation to pave new paths of music and humanity around the world.

text: At least 37 people have been killed and more than 70 injured in a fire at a hospital in southern South Korea. The fire started on Friday morning at around 7:30am local time in the emergency room on the first floor of Sejong Hospital, Miryang, some 400km from the capital Seoul. It was extinguished in three hours. Firefighters expect the number of casualties will rise further, according to South Korea's official news agency, Yonhap. At least nine people were seriously wounded in the blaze, Yonhap reported, adding that the fire was South Korea's deadliest in a decade. South Korean rescue workers remove the bodies of victims after a fire at a hospital in Miryang [AFP/Yonhap] The majority of those who lost their lives died of suffocation from toxic smoke, as opposed to burns. Local media reported that a doctor and two nurses were among the dead. Most of the victims were believed to have been elderly patients, according to Korea Times. The chief of Miryang City's fire department said that the hospital did not have fire sprinklers, the English-language Korean daily reported. "There was so much smoke that it was hard for people to approach [the building]," a witness told a local television news outlet. "Even from 10 metres away, it was frightening." Firefighters try to put out the fire at the hospital building engulfed by heavy grey smoke [AFP/Yonhap] Al Jazeera's Cathy Novak, reporting from Seoul, said President Moon Jae-in had called an emergency meeting with his top advisers. "He said it was an extremely regrettable situation," Novak said. "There were around 100 people in the hospital itself at the time, and another 96 people in an adjacent building, which is akin to a hospice." Those 96 patients are believed to be safe, she said. "Questions will be asked about the safety at that hospital the cause of this fire," said Novak. She added that a month ago, at least 29 people were killed at a sports centre in the south of the country.

Prospect Place Mansion evps from our ghost hunt on March 5, 2005.
Scroll to bottom for Prospect Place Ghost Hunt 2006.
We captured several evps while ghost hunting at Prospect Place Mansion. Shadowman even turned up in one of our photos.
We arrived early for the ghost hunt. We were given a nice room with several beds, couches, computer and coffee pot. It was a comfortable place to keep our equipment, meet up with our members and drink our badly needed coffee.
The whole group went to the basement. It has a dirt floor and is very dusty. Randy pointed out the areas where others have witnessed things or felt a presence. The step in the doorway is where many have felt something. Tonya was sitting in the doorway adjusting her face mask she was wearing due to the dust. All of a sudden she jumped up and said something was stroking her hair! We believe it was the Shadowman that haunts Prospect Place, although we did not see anything at the time he showed up on our photo that was taken after Tonya ran away.
This evp was captured in the barn. It sounds like to us "Can you
believe I'm Mary?" A news article from 1948 states that George W.Adams had several daughters, one of them named
Mary. Could this be her ghost? Turn your speakers up or use headphones for best results.

"can you believe i'm mary" evp
Jeff felt a cold chill run through him while exploring the barn so he took some photos of the area around him and got these two pictures with mist in them. He states he was holding his breath at the time.
While in the ballroom we heard heavy footsteps on the wooden stairs and we thought it was the rest of our group coming to join us but it wasn't. Suddenly the footsteps stopped. As we were going down the stairs from the ballroom Darla and Brian were last. They both heard footsteps behind them. They stopped on the landing to listen and the footsteps could still be heard. They couldn't see any one in the darkness behind them. It was as though someone was following them from far behind.
We had the recorder on and it captured several evps. They are not in response to any questions, they can be heard over sounds of us walking around. These strange voices do not belong to anyone in our group.
Later that night as Brady was coming down the staircase he saw what he describes as a bushy haired woman, retreat into the room to the right of the staircase. He went straight into the room but found no one.
Everyone was getting tired around this time and most were resting in our room. Angie, Darla, Tonya, Brady and myself decided to go sit in the mistress's bedroom which was just down the hall from our room. Evps were attempted with no luck. While sitting on the sofa in this room we all felt a cold breeze sweep past. A few seconds later Darla, who was sitting on the end of the sofa, felt someone rub her earlobe several times.
There were several rooms we weren't able to investigate due to the restoration going on.
The ghost hunt was officially over at 4:00 am. We could have stayed longer, even slept there but as tired as we were we still decided to drive home.
We would recommend an overnight ghost hunt at Prospect Place to anyone. If you are just getting into ghost hunting this is the place to start.

Air Sailing Sports Class Contest - Day 4
Day four was really comprised of two contests. For those who started early it proved a strong, relatively easy day. For those unfortunate enough to start late it could be a difficult day. There were five relights after the first hour of flying, and many slow starts. Although weather predictions were similar to day three, the tailenders often found weak, junky thermals, and struggled to get on task.
Contest Director JJ set a TAT to Mineral Peak with a 30 mile circle, Fallonturnoff, also 30 miles, then AirSailing, Hallelujah Junction, and Finish. Winner AlandAdams, an early starter reported skirting east of Reno Class C airspace and running down the west side of the Pine Nuts to deep within the Mineral Peak turn circle. Heading back toward Fallonturnoff, he reported a nice cloud street leading directly to the turn point that nobody else seemed to find. He averaged a handicapped 70 knots over 210 miles. Kerry Richards followed close behind for second place.
This report is forced to conclude with several words of wisdom about the seldom discussed subject of urinary density from Ron Gleason, who gave an excellent safety talk on the dangers of dehydration in desert flying conditions: "If you drink Guinness and pee Corona,you're OK" he cautioned. "But if you drink Corona and pee Guinness, you're in big trouble!"

BMW has presented their concept for a new compact SUV. The concept X2 shares a platform with the X1 and the newest Minis, and is intended to be a more sporty alternative to the X1. Much like the coupe-like X6 to the more upright X5.
The styling is aggressive, and is intended to combine "the fast-moving body language and low-slung proportions of a coupe with the robust construction of an X model". There are bold headlights, massive side grilles, and very wide rear haunches under a sloping roofline. Large wheel arches and lower body cladding are intended to further the resemblance to BMW's other X models, and they certainly show off the 21-inch wheels.
Other interesting details include laser lighting for the front headlights and a pronounced X shape in the center of the lamps. The slightly ducktailed spoiler also hides a channel allowing air to flow down over the rear glass. Resculpted, more flowing versions of BMW's L-shape tail lights and prominent tailpipe finishers complete the look.
The compact crossover is a hot sport in the market, and the production X2 is anticipated to join it sometime in 2017. Powertrain information hasn't been revealed, but the all-wheel drive and 2.0L turbocharged four from the X1 are the likely choices.

Midway through his freshman season, after Rockhurst football player Brady McCanles was promoted to varsity, he sensed the need to become bigger, faster, stronger. He had watched the workouts of the team's seniors. Bench presses of 300 pounds. Squats topping 400.
"As a little freshman, I had never lifted a weight in my life," McCanles said.
Three years later, on a hot August afternoon, McCanles stationed himself in the corner of the Rockhurst weight room. He wore a shirt with the sleeves ripped off while he progressed through a workout.
As head coach Tony Severino strolled by, he referred to McCanles as the "player with the biggest guns" in the locker room, though several teammates objected while pulling up the sleeves of their shirts.

McCanles, a running back for the Hawklets, is evidence of the workouts' effectiveness. A year ago, he plowed through two would-be tacklers and into the end zone for a game-winning touchdown in overtime of a playoff matchup.
"The weights have been a big thing for me before I was even coaching," said Severino, who is embarking on his 35th year at Rockhurst. "When I first started, I felt like I was way ahead of my time. When I took the job at Rockhurst, I told them we needed to build a weight room.
"It's evolved a lot. Everybody is doing something now."
Weightlifting programs — more frequently referred to as strength and conditioning workouts — are commonplace in high school football, along with plenty of other sports, for that matter.
They don't necessarily present the advantage they once did on the football field. Instead, programs are just trying to keep pace.
It's all but written into a head coach's job description that if he wants to be successful, he must persuade his players to attend regular workouts, though they cannot be made mandatory under either state's activities association's rules.
The volunteer sessions have become year-round events. Across the Kansas City Metro, kids wake up before sunrise during the summer to get in a morning lift.
Bishop Miege coach Jon Holmes, who graduated from the school in 2002, said the Stags averaged 90 players during weightlifting sessions this summer. Describing his days as a player, Holmes said, "We would get maybe 20 guys per day."
The participation is the most critical element. Severino calls roll daily.
But it's no longer the only element. There are thousands of opinions on the best way to lift weights and build strength, and schools rarely follow the same model.
At some schools, such as Basehor-Linwood, not all athletes within the school follow the same model.
Before his promotion to athletics director this year, Ross Schwisow oversaw the district's weightlifting program. He grouped athletes by competition level, but each student conducted an individualized workout. Tests provide their max lifts, and every workout is completed at a certain percentage of those maxes.
"Basehor-Linwood has been on the leading edge on the professionalism of (strength training)," football coach Rod Stallbaumer said. "I think you're going to see more schools having that model of a full-time strength coach on staff.
"You lose a little bit of the team-bonding aspect, but the gains outweigh that."
Most programs are multipurposed. Rockhurst conducts its workouts in three phrases spread out over the calendar year — strength, followed by a combination strength-and-quickness phase, followed by a phase combining strength, quickness and speed.
Although the concept of "bigger, faster, stronger" provides rather obvious benefits, many coaches refer to injury prevention when describing the design of their workouts. In 2012, the British Journal for Sports Medicine concluded that proper lifting techniques and proper resistance training can help reduce sports-related injuries in young athletes.
"We're going to train the body (and) do stuff for injury prevention and for strength," Holmes said. "Back in the day, you would just get in and lift."
Liberty North football coach Greg Jones refers to that process as prehab — the inverse of rehab and essentially preventing the need for rehab. In his first year at Liberty North, Jones doubles as head of the school's strength and conditioning program after serving the same roles at Kearney, where his football teams won a pair of Missouri Class 4 state championships. Those teams were known for their brute strength, a product of his strength and conditioning concentration.
Before he coached a down of football at his new stop, Liberty North, Jones toured the weight room. It's considered top of the line.
He estimated more than 300 kids per day across all sports were in the weight room during June as he supervised.
"It doesn't matter what your weight room looks like if you don't use it," Jones said. "If you do, it makes a huge difference on the field, especially late in the season."
With more and more schools adopting weightlifting, Jones, who started his career as the strength and conditioning coach at Northwest Missouri State, still tries to find ways to remain "cutting edge." There are specific workouts for in-season and out-of-season, and the concept of an offseason has been nearly eliminated.
Other programs have followed suit.
"For a long time, kids lifted a couple of months in the summer and that was it for the year," Stallbaumer said. "Now you've basically got it year-round in Kansas. Even when I started getting into coaching (13 years ago), summer weights was very optional. About 20 to 25 percent of highly-motivated kids went.
"Now it's really an expectation. It can't be mandatory, but you can definitely tell the programs that have success are the ones where it's an expectation."

I think it's important to showcase my absolute failures. Cooking should be about embracing those failures, not pretending we all don't have them, you know? Blogs where people believe (erroneously or not) that they're the expert in their field... I'm just not interested. I'm interested in the effort and the experiments! And, judging from the number of hits my post about my failed macaroons, many of you feel the same way.
So, without further ado, I give you my most recent failure: panettone bread pudding.
In answer to the question I asked myself 24 hours ago: No, you shouldn't cook the custard before pouring it on top of the bread.
That way lies disaster. I don't know why I thought this would be a good idea. It really wasn't... and I knew it wouldn't be as soon as I poured the custard out of the pan onto the bread.
It glooped.
It doesn't absorb into the bread, and forms an eggy topping. Have I mentioned that my husband hates eggs?
But, in answer to my other question: Do make sandwiches with the bread and some marmalade first.
That way lies deliciousness. So... it was ultimately a good learning experience!
Anyone else have a recent kitchen disaster they want to share?

Hi all,i need a help on the route from Lucerne to Interlaken via road.I have rented a car and ok to take a long route preferably its flat road and not hilly.Has anyone driven on this route.Pls help with inputs.TIA.
Hi Mona85,
The most obvious route between Lucerne and Interlaken passes Sarnen, Lungern and Brienz and crosses the Brünig Pass. If you want to avoid that, you'd best travel via Bern. It's quite a detour, but no mountain passes are involved. Tips for driving in Switzerland can be found at myswissalps.com/car.
thanks Annika.
Hi Mona.
If you always seek the flat routes, you still will have hills...Switzerland is not Kansas. And, you miss some of the better scenery. That said, Annika has given the answer.
Personally, I'd take the Brunig Pass route,via Brunig and Meiringen. The driving is really not bad... good road... unless you do it on a weekend afternoon. Then, it slows down a lot.
Haven't driven on hilly terrain before :( But u ryt scenery wud b best at such routes.Trip is nxt month so i wud take a call on car plans soon.Thanks slowpoke.
Hi Mona-
I'm sorry, I did not understand the comment about "take a call."
And, please observe the forum rules. Here is an excerpt:
<<"................. Write in English only; Avoid "text talk" (for example: "r u" instead of "are you"); The name of the country is "Switzerland", not "Swiss"; Your post should be easy to read. Use bullet lists and line breaks; Your posts can be read by everyone, so do not post private data of yourself or others. (e.g. e-mail addresses);.......">>
For many of the forum members, English is not their first language. The messages need to be in clear and simple English, because many people read the threads for information, even if they do not post.
Ohh ok,sorry for that.Take a call as in i would finalise my plan to go ahead with the car rental or not as i have booked cancelleable option.Since my preference is to drive on flat roads i am taking help of this forum for inputs on it.As i am not confident driving on hilly areas,i would take a roundabout even if the route is long.I am exploring the best options suited to me as per my comfort.Thanks.
Then, Annika has give the best route.
Have you considered traveling by train? The trains in Switzerland are really nice, frequent, and let you look at the (hilly) scenery.
Yeah Slowpoke this is my second vacation to Switzerland. This time i am coming with my toddler so have a lot of luggage which is the reason i am looking at the car option.Also since last time i have experienced the train journeys so would like to explore through car too.
No question that a car helps with lots of luggage.
Good luck with the driving.
Thank you Slowpoke.

text: The "Perfect" Holiday Card December 12, 2014 Yesterday it happened…we received our first Christmas card of the season. It was one of the good ones. It was from a dear friend I've known since childhood. We grew up a few houses down the street from each other. She is a writer and has such a gift for touching on the Christmas spirit while sharing family updates. I was looking forward to reading the card, however I can remember a time where it was hard for me to open Christmas cards from even the dearest friends that first Christmas after Charley died. Our son, Charley died in late August and our family started to attend support groups at Fernside in November, right as the holiday season started. My group quickly focused our discussions on how to get through the holidays. One thing that can be painful for grieving families is what to do about the tradition of sending holiday cards. Do you send cards or not? Do you include your child's name or leave it off? How can you not include their name, after all they will always be a part of your family? In the past, we had always sent one of those "perfect" holiday cards; our daughter Grace next to her brother Charley, dressed in matching outfits by the Christmas tree. That year our Christmas would not be so perfect. After much thought, I decided to start the tradition of composing a Christmas letter. The letter would provide an opportunity to thank our family and friends for all their support following Charley's sudden death. Over the years it has given me a platform to share my thoughts and has allowed me to focus on the real meaning of the season. We did end up including a photo in our family letter that first year. We decided to include Charley's favorite stuffed bear he affectionately called Rainbow Bear. The toy bear became sort of a stand-in for him and brought us comfort at a time when not much else made sense. In the years that have followed, Rainbow Bear has often surfaced in family photos. Grief at the holidays can be a difficult road to navigate. Families can find meaning in holding onto time-honored traditions, like sending cards, while at the same time embracing new rituals. To this day, it can still be hard to receive one of those "perfect" cards from friends standing on the beach in Hawaii or of families sharing a magical Disney vacation. But then I pause and I am grateful for the effort they made to stay connected. Life doesn't always have to be "perfect" to have great meaning. It's about living in the present and enjoying the time we have. Sally Ries attended Fernside in November 2003 with her husband, Jim and daughter, Grace, following the death of their four-year old son, Charley. Sally was a Fernside volunteer facilitator before joining the Fernside staff in 2009.

Scott McCall is a well-known NASCAR race driver. He spends most his time on the track but goes through quite a few ladies with the agreement of no commitment. Julie has been around the track all her life. Her father Jack Davis raced and retired from the track. Julie needed a job so her dad called in a favor. Julie starts working on a pit crew. Julie ends up working for Scott.
Scott flirts with her and there is a zing between them. But Julie has her sights set on another driver Doug. Julie and Scott become friends and she asks Scott to help her get her man Doug. Scott shows and tells her what she needs to do. As they go through the motions with Scott showing Julie how to act, what to say and how to make the moves, the steam heats up between them. Unfortunately for Scott, Julie doesn't want him. She wants Doug. Julie goes to a party for Doug's birthday and tries out her newly learned skills. As she gets with Doug, she notices that there is just not the same feeling between them when she kisses him. Scott has an effect on her that Doug doesn't.
Julie becomes sick and starts throwing up. She takes a pregnancy test and discovers she is pregnant. Scott doesn't run away from his responsibilities. Julie's dad Jack is livid when he learns that Julie is pregnant with Scott's baby. Julie starts living with Scott and they get married quickly. Julie is not sure if Scott loves her and Scott is not sure if Julie loves him. The passion is there between them but both are afraid to let the other one know.
Scott is racing at Daytona leading the race. Toward the end there is a horrible crash and Scott's car gets crushed with another car on top of his. Julie and Scott's mom were watching as it happened and so they get taken to the field while the emergency crew rescues the drivers. Scott comes out of the wreck with minor injuries. But it scares the daylights out of Julie and she rushes to his side. She tells him never to do that to her again. That is when they both realize they are in love.
I would say that the book is good. There are a few items that bother me about this one though. In the wreck, the author indicates the driver gets his door open to get out. In NASCAR cars, the doors do not open. They are welded shut along with part of the roll cage protection. Also, I feel as though the story ended too abruptly. Julie is pregnant, then there is the wreck, and they figure out they love each other. Well what happens after that?! All in all this was a good story but the ending could have been developed a little more.

If you're one of those parents who thinks they don't need any help when it comes to the parenting game and would rather sing to their child on a 5-hour flight than give them something to entertain themselves with, please stop reading.
If, however, you're like 99.999% of us and realize that sometimes you could use a little help getting by as a parent: Welcome. You are our people.
Kids don't really care when it's socially acceptable to be quiet. And they sure don't see anything wrong with doing somersaults in the middle of a waiting room or at the booth at the restaurant you're dining at. But they're just kids. They're usually not trying to be little terrors — they just need a little direction and an outlet to express all their energy and creativity.
That's why many find Play-Doh compound to be a life-saving parent hack that you're going to want to take with you to ALL THE PLACES. When you could use a little help keeping the kids occupied (while also encouraging your wee ones' imagination) you need to have this craft staple in your life. It makes learning and play lots of fun — so much so that your kids won't know they're also making you look like Mom of the Year.
Here are six times Play-Doh toys will save your life as a parent:
1. When You're Dining Out
Why does it seem to take forever for the food to arrive? Or is it just that the minutes are crawling by because your children have decided that now is a good time to investigate the restaurant floor underneath your table? Bring a few cans with you and let your kids make anything their little hearts desire. Then smile smugly at your partner because your kids are angels and you deserve to win every parenting award there is.
2. Two Words: Road Trips
If you're worried about the mess, let us assure you that dried up Play-Doh vacuums up REALLY easily. Get a little tray top and give your kid some to play with on a long car ride and the number of times you hear "When are we going to get there?" will be cut down by 84%*.
*Totally made this up, but still.
3. When You're Rained In
Filling long days indoors with endless activities is exhausting. You don't need to add to your mental load. Hand a few cans to your kids and let them have fun while also developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and sparking creativity.
4. Sick Days
Even when your kids are sick, they seem to have more energy than most people. Why don't they want to sleep and watch movies for eight hours? That sounds like perfection to us. Play-Doh toys are awesome because they are a quiet activity that can be done without exerting a lot of energy, so their little bodies can work on getting better.
5. In Waiting Rooms
When you're a kid, waiting is 100% more torture-filled when you're told to keep quiet while waiting. If you'd like your little ones to keep it down a notch while also using their imagination: a can of Play-Doh. In your purse. You're welcome.
6. Early Mornings
Sometimes you just need a quiet cup of coffee before you get into making all the breakfasts and wiping the bums and helping them with every little thing they need you for. This is our favorite hack. Give the kids a couple of cans of compound to play with, sit down, and drink that coffee while it's hot, baby. You deserve it.
This post is brought to you by Hasbro, but the opinions are our own.
Play-Doh Compound is the #1 craft brand, with over 500 million cans produced each year. Urban legend has it that if you took all the Play-Doh compound created since 1956 and put it through the Play-Doh FUN FACTORY playset, it would make a snake that would wrap around the world 300 times.

Being in Manchester this past week has meant being involved in the aftermath of last Monday's suicide-bomber atrocity. We can only imagine the grief of those who were bereaved, or the suffering that will be endured by those who were maimed. We express our sympathy awkwardly: a public gathering with speeches and poetry; makeshift shrines made with flowers, candles and messages; a minute of silence observed in the city centre; all of this unrehearsed, impromptu and heart-felt. However, beyond our shocked reactions to the callous, cruel carnage, there remains the big question of what can be done to prevent this kind of thing happening again.
Throughout the inevitable commentary on the event there runs one particular thread: of this city standing together, of its various communities working as one to combat terrorism. However, therein lies a problem. For all the talk of pride in Manchester and its record of pioneering social equality, there is evidence that the city, like so many others, is rapidly deteriorating into a fragmented entity in which "standing together" is increasingly difficult. Housing shortages, inequalities in educational opportunities, homelessness and ghetto-isation are trends emerging here – as elsewhere – as a result of its land being treated as an asset to be traded for maximum profit, often by outsiders. Taken to its logical end – rich people living in luxurious central towers, the rest housed on cheap estates, or not housed at all – how will it be possible for a city to function as a whole, to nurture all of its citizens and to take care not to marginalise anyone to the extent that they will turn against their own?
Currently showing at the city's public art gallery is an exhibition of photographs of Mancunians taken by Shirley Baker during the time of the post-war slum clearances. They give an overall impression of poverty and desolation, although there is a bright future in the offing in the form of hygienic, humane housing . And, despite the ruination, children are playing, apparently happy and unsupervised, on the grimy, dilapidated streets and un-cleared bomb-sites, a reflection of the spirit of community they enjoyed. Subsequently, however, that spirit was too often broken by the removal of families to housing estates and high-rise developments, the work of urban planners who, at that time, worked on utopian principles that omitted some of the binding ingredients of community, such as interaction on neighbourhood streets. (See, if you can, the documentary film Citizen Jane: Battle for the City about the woman who spearheaded a campaign in the 1950's which thwarted plans to ruin New York neighbourhoods with ill-conceived developments including urban highways and population segregation.)
Social alienation in itself is not the root cause of an individual's determination to kill their neighbours, but it is certainly fertile ground for the recruitment of people who might be persuaded to do so. The religious beliefs that underpin the death cults of ISIL and Al Quaeda are, to the majority of religious believers, contradictory of the idea of a deity who is wise, loving and merciful towards its diverse creations and has an interest in seeing them flourish. As the author Rebecca West once put it: If there is a God, I don't think He would demand that anyone bow down or stand up to Him. The blame for barbarity in the name of religion lies not at the door of any god but in the hearts and minds of people. To quote another, more famous, author, Voltaire: Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
The ultimate prevention of atrocities committed in the pursuit of religious fanaticism is not within the power of our armed forces, intelligence services and law-enforcement agencies but in the spread of enlightenment, knowledge and compassion delivered via communities bound together by shared interests.

Campaigning is an important and an undeniably crucial aspect of today's politics in Washington DC, and even those of the past. The biggest difference between current and old methods is the way candidates and advocates go about spreading their messages across communities.
Companies like NGP VAN gives political campaigns (most notably Democrats) a platform from which to raise campaign funds; and they're also able to organize, on the field and via a voter database. This is all done digitally, as it's a much faster way of working and it is also an apparent fact that the data systems of today are transitioning to computers and other devices (if they haven't already). NGP VAN was used by clients such as Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, which proved highly successful, and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, as well as Bernie Sander's 2016 campaign. They're also active in Canada, used by the British Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Party of Canada.
NGP VAN is a merger of two companies; NGP Software and Voter Activation Network. They use innovative software for fundraising and to reach out to and gain the support of potential voters while also collecting data that could be used to optimize campaign performance. One of the company's tools, which NGP VAN created, is VoteBuilder, and it's used to track voter interaction. It also gets more people to go out and actually vote when the date of the election comes around. The contact information of potential voters like phone numbers and emails are also stored so that campaigners can reach out with pertinent information.
MiniVan is an app that canvassers can use to collect data on prospective voters. The best part is that the information is transmitted from the mobile app to the central database used by the campaigners, so that manual data entry isn't necessary, and this is all in real-time, so that members on a network operating in different areas have access to campaign information. This software is especially useful in an age where grassroot campaigns are very prominent. Individuals who take to the streets to interact with potential voters can do so easily without the limitations of paper lists or mindless data entry.
NGP VAN also offers NGP software, which checks and reports whether or not a campaign is trending anywhere on the internet. This is big, considering that most people have regular access to the internet, and that some are consistent users.
