Basic Guidelines for Understanding the Landscape of the Hands:
Traditionally the palm has been divided into three horizontal worlds or zones.
Notice how the fields in the palm above are similar to the fields formed by tracing the main lines from the dermatoglyphic triradii in the graphic here to the left. There are a range of variances in individuals in these fields just as there are variances in how the major creases flow in the palms from individual to individual, yet still have their familiar territories.
In primates the dermatoglyphic main lines and the major creases are often the same whereas in humans they are separate.
The zone closest to the fingers is generally considered as the area from where the fingers connect to the palm, down to the heart line and under the index finger. This area usually covers the mounts below the fingers. Typically the heart line (distal transverse crease) is located beneath the metacarpo-phalangeal joints. When you trace the radiant (main line A) from the a triradius you will find it usually ends at the percussion side of the hand ranging from close to the heart line to down into the palm. (see examples below) Sometimes the heart line is set too high, too low, or misaligned and then it (or the head line) might find itself out of its territory. William G. Benham in "The Laws of Scientific Hand Reading" offered that a crease out of its territory is not equipped with the tools it needs to function properly in the location it has found itself. This zone (that I've shaded in pink) relates to how we experience and express our emotions, feelings and respond to sensations.
Practical and creative thinking abilities are interpreted from features that are found in the middle zone. In most palmistry books you will find this middle zone as another section that might divide the palm into three nearly equal worlds in perfect horizontal fashion. In development the head line (proximal transverse crease) has more freedom in it's location than the heart line or the life line (thenar crease). The start of it is strongly influenced by the index finger's metacarpo-phalangeal joint, but after that it's free to flow across the palm or to curve down into the palm. Since the head line can reach down into the lower ulnar corner of the palm this middle zone has been extended to follow this potential path. This field spans the space between the T main line (from t triradius and the A main line (from the a triradius) The location of the t Triradius (triradius typically located toward the wrist) can influence this field and create an additional field below if it is found high above the wrist. How we process our thoughts is represented by the features in this central and somewhat diagonal field.
The lower zone of the hand has been associated with the physical energies and referred to as the instinctive zone or as part of the subconscious world. Here it is bound by the dermatoglyphic radiant from the t Triradius and is basically the full area inside the life line. Like the other zones this area can extend outside beyond the main crease with the range of its field. This outside area of this field extends toward the percussion and is often bound by the fate line (sagittal crease) and sometimes a downward bending head line. A large part of this area is the base of the thumb inside the structure of the palm. This represents the potential physical manifestations of the qualities of the thumb and at the same time our level of inner resources in reserve. Our physical energy and vitality is associated with the fullness of the thenar mount (Venus Mount). It is representative of our inner well of resources along with our urges and drives.
Previous methods of dividing the hand into three worlds relate to first a horizontal division at the fingers (which for some systems of division includes the mounts below the fingers). The next section is marked off at about mid-palm at the inside of the thumb and horizontally across. Typically crossing through the areas on both sides of the palm that in palmistry are called the upper and lower, or positive and negative, Mars mounts. The bottom section which pretty much includes the 'heel' of the palm as it rises from the central part of the palm and back down to the first wrist crease. This form of dividing the hand into horizontal planes (as opposed to following dermatoglyphic fields) is better described by looking at the hand and its energy in a spectrum in the length from fingertips (distal) to wrist (proximal) as described below.
The fingers and thumbs have their own zones easily detected by the interphalangeal creases that separate them and can be viewed as part of the entire hand or separately from the palm. The hand, the palm and the fingers each have these three zones. The thumb's base zone is part of the palm known as the thenar mount. With the fingers we look at the tips as relating to receiving an idea, the middle section as to how the idea is planned and the base section is about the actuation and materialization. You get an idea, you plan it out and then you make it happen. Manifesting the idea into a reality or into something tangible, physical, and concrete is what this lowest section is about. In reverse we can see it as taking something we've made tangible and planning how to present it out into the world.
Three examples illustrating variances in the dermatoglyphic fields.
A vertical division separates the radial and the ulnar sides of the hand.
There are two major arteries and nerves that enter the palm. These are called Ulnar and Radial. The long bones in the arm are called the ulna and radius bones. The thumb side of the hand is known as the radial side and the little finger as ulna or ulnar.
The thumb side of the hand is stronger than the little finger side when it comes to gripping. The dominant hand is usually stronger than the non-dominant hand.
In the human hand, the thumb is capable of opposing all the other digits because of it's position and its rotational ability. The little finger also is positioned in such a way that the hand folds to allow its pad to contact the pad of the thumb. This folding is mostly diagonal and follows the sagittal plane or the central part of the fate line up towards the middle finger. This mid-palm section of the fate line (sagittal crease) is typically firmly attached in the layers of the skin much like the other major creases.
The purpose of this deeper attachment is mostly for grip and keeping the skin from sliding around when holding onto something. We have two creases (sagittal and thenar) that are vertically attached and two horizontally attached creases (distal and proximal transverse). These creases are more commonly known as the fate, life, heart, and head lines and seen as the major and more important creases in hand analysis.
The Radial side of the hand relates mostly to the outer world and how we present ourselves and interact with our family, friends, general public, and our environment. The Ulnar side of the hand is more associated with how we process what we have received from the outer world via our senses and our experiences. The entire hand represents how we express our inner self out into the world. Yet, as we move from the thumb to the little finger (percussion) side of the hand, we move from what we are more willing and able to expose of ourselves to what we are more careful to hide.
The dominant hand would be the most conscious and public representation and the non-dominant hand shows what we most prefer to keep hidden and may not even be consciously aware of ourselves. A spectrum in each hand ranging from outer self to inner self, with one side more private than the other, is found in the radial to ulnar sides of the hands.
There are two common placements for making this vertical division. One way is to divide the hand from the center of the wrist up to the tip of the middle finger, dividing the middle finger into two sections. The other method involves dividing the hand between the middle and ring fingers. If you can view the energy as ranging in polarity from the radial to the ulnar side then this area in the middle is basically the same regardless of whether you divide the middle finger or move it to the radial side entirely. Because the sagittal crease typically aims toward the middle of this finger, making a division here can make sense, but it's probably more a personal preference to the hand analyst using a quadrant system.
This middle section, including the whole middle finger, can also be seen as allowing for three worlds vertically. However, there is no definite point where the energy shifts from outer to inner. There is instead a slow blending from one to the other with a sort of neutral or balanced zone in the middle.
Spanning from the tips of the fingers down to the wrist is a lengthwise field of changing energies.
Looking at the hand from fingertips to the wrist we can visualize the energy as flowing both directions. When we touch something the sensory cells send signals describing what we have touched such as its texture, temperature and vibration. Our fingertips have more nerve endings than any other part of the hand and the index fingertip pad has the most of all. Reaching out to touch our loved ones, loving energy flows outward from our hands and we feel in return their loving vibrations. Everything we do with our hands involves this two way flow of energy.
We should view this energy in the same spectrum field we looked at in the radial to ulnar directions. Whereas the energy shifted in polarity from thumb to little finger side in degrees of openness and privacy, the polarity from fingertips to wrist is relating to making ideas a reality. A spectrum here ranges from ethereal, airy thoughts to tangible, earthy grounding. The fingers are appendages that extend out from the body as feelers and antennas. In palmistry this area is seen as the Conscious or Active Zone. We hold the world in the palms of our hands, but it is with the fingers that we interact with and change the things we touch.
As we move into the palms, there is less movement than the fingers, but still the hand is flexible and bendable across the top of the palm. This area is basically the area above and including the heart line. Here we start the process of reacting and interacting with our environment and who and what is in it. This area relates to sensations, feelings and emotions. We are still in the conscious and active zone but we must keep in mind to some degree the range of public to private in the span from the radial to ulnar sides. In this territory we compare the incoming data to former experiences that are recorded as visual and emotional memories. Markings that form here show how we make contact with others and with our environment. Across this area we see features that reveal our ambitions, our desire to communicate, to love, learn, develop our skills and talents, and our ability to have empathy and show mercy. This being a more conscious zone, the reasons we are moved to do these things are closer to the surface of our awareness.
The thumb is located on the radial side of the hand and is related to the outer world. The base of the thumb is located in the palm as the thenar mount. As such the base is in the lowest part of the range from fingertips to wrist, and the thumb tip is found in the active zone when it is held close to the palm. The phalanges of the thumb will be described in more depth in the section about the digits.
Here it is important to note that the thumb bridges several worlds and is the only digit to simultaneously be in both the Active Conscious and the Passive Subconscious Zone.
Down below the heart line we move past the area of emotions and into the area of thinking and reasoning. This is the territory of the head line or proximal transverse crease. Moving away from the realm of feelings and sensations, this next area relates to how we initiate thinking, and from there how we proceed through the processing into the results or completion of an idea or mental endeavor. Features here show if we are quick thinkers who are able think on our feet or do we like to take our time, sleep on an idea, and be more detailed and thorough.
The amount of space between the heart and head lines gives important clues as to how open or closed a person can be and the strength of their preferences. This horizontal span of space that bridges the territories of the emotions with the physical is framed on each side by the two mounts that are most commonly referred to in palmistry as ruled by Mars. The central zone between these two mounts is called the Plain of Mars. This central zone is also known as the hollow of the palm. Our strengths, initiative, stamina and general well being can be determined in the qualities of these features situated in the middle horizontal span of the palm.
Above the wrist the palm rises in usually a firm ridge that is often referred to as the heel or base of the palm. The radial side contains the thenar mount, or thumb's base, and the ulnar side contains the hypothenar. The carpal bones lie underneath this bulging area. This lowest part of the palm is representative of our our core foundation, our ancestral roots and the connection to our body. It relates to the zones known as the collective unconscious or subconscious. From the hypothenar area intuitive and insightful thoughts rise to our consciousness giving us warnings, connecting the dots, and advance clues on our path. Surfacing from our thenar area comes our primal instincts, cravings, desires and urges; all helping to provide us with the motivation required to move forward.
As has been described with the fingers, the energy of the palms and our whole hands can be seen as flowing in both directions, in and out, like our breath and heartbeat. The fingers are illustrative of how we express and interact with the world and the palm is more about the internalizing of the world and our selves. The whole hand then shows the entire movement of energy coming in and being processed. In reverse, our impulses and desires come from deep within and rise to the surface to be manufactured in our minds and then into reality and expressed out into the world.
Combining the vertical and horizontal fields creates the quadrants.
Seeing and understanding the relationship and the balance in what appears to be opposites and polarities is perhaps the most difficult to comprehend and put into practice for the beginning hand analyst. The symbol for yin and yang illustrates how inside of each half is a place, at the core, containing a part of its complementary energy. In dividing the hands we can see that the top part of the hand is active, which is yang energy and the bottom is passive and which is yin. The radial side of the hand in its outer world orientation is yang and the ulnar side is an expression of yin in that it is receptive and inner world oriented.
What is probably the first and most important aspect to be explained is nomenclature. What is meant by the terms: inner-outer, active-passive, yin-yang, and in what dictionary resources or esoteric studies are the chosen definitions found? This is a very important question. There are many answers with some being contradictory and some are just seemingly contradictory. Going in search of these answers can lead you down many paths leading to self insight, both biologically and spiritually. Follow what rings true inside of yourself, what gives you ah-ha moments and feels familiar like home.
Our outer self relates to how we present our selves to the world. How we would like to be seen by others. It's our personality that shows through, to the outside from within, that individualizes us. It includes the persona, the mask with which we cover and hide our vulnerabilities. It relates to how we want to leave an impact in some way on our environment, our world. To say I was here. In one of it's simplest forms, imagine an old school desk you have sat in at some time and could see, through the sanding and varnish, the many names, doodles, initials and hearts that were etched into the wood. Maybe when no one was looking you added your own impression. Through our outer self we connect socially and explore the world around and outside of us.
Our inner self is more personal and private. Here is where we can hide or another place where we can explore or just look within. We don't want people to read our minds, although our body language reveals our inner workings like an open book. We allow people into our personal spaces by special invitation. We have our private thoughts, our letters, journals, (that we'd burn before we'd make public on our blog) our memories, and our dreams. This inner world is a limitless inner space for self understanding and spiritual awareness. Inspiration, insight and creative visions are born here.
Active relates to something that is energetic and a moving force. We are electrical beings with both positive and negative charges. In the hands, the active areas include the fingers, thumbs, and the mounts immediately under the fingers. These are the most flexible, movable parts of the hands. Active energy is similar to outer energy in that it has the sense of something that is moving outwards or expanding. We reach out and taste our world with our sense of touch.
Passive is an interesting term. It suggests a lack of interest or feelings of lethargy. It's not my favorite choice as a label for the bottom of the hand. The active top part of the hand relates to being responsive and reactive to the environment, whereas the bottom of the hand is more about the kind of behavior that comes from urges and drives. Passive is not having a reaction to an outer force, leaving room for an action that rises from within seemingly uninfluenced by others. In combining the essences in the hands, Passive-Outer is similar to being proactive, as opposed to reactive, which is more comparable to Active-Outer.
Another way to look at these polarities is objective and subjective. Objective here relates to making decisions that are not influenced on personal feelings and viewpoints. It would seem nearly impossible to not have some kind of personal feelings or reaction to what we are observing. We experience everything through our own perceptions and level of experience and understanding. The digits would be the most objective part of our hands as they relate to the active area. They sense the environment directly. Once the signals move to the zones where emotional memories are stored the input is tainted and tinted with those impressions. Continuing down the palm, the degree of objectivity vanishes into subjectivity as we subconsciously compare the input to our own baggage and wisdom.

A gutted Gianluigi Buffon struggled to believe Italy bowed out of Euro 2016 despite Germany missing three penalties in the shoot-out.
Jonas Hector converted the winning spot-kick as Germany claimed a 6-5 shoot-out win after the 1-1 draw in Bordeaux on Saturday.
Simone Zaza, Graziano Pelle, Leonardo Bonucci and Matteo Darmian failed to convert for Antonio Conte's men as they were beaten in the quarter-final.
Unable to hide his emotions, a devastated Buffon rued his side's failure to make the most of their opportunity after Germany also struggled from the spot.
"Everyone has their own reasons to cry," the captain told Rai Sport.
"I'm sorry because we deserved it for the group that we are, for what we have made people believe.
"It's rare for a team to miss three penalties and then that's still not enough to win."
Bonucci had cancelled out Mesut Ozil's opener in the second half of regulation time before Italy held out to get to penalties.
Buffon was proud of his team's performance, saying: "Regrets can arrive when you feel you didn't give everything but that's not the case. We were a step away from a great feat.
"I'm sad for the fans who were always with us. We were compact and hard to beat but destiny wasn't with us this time."

Nikon D2Xs review
By: WDC, What Digital Camera (Nov 1, 2006)
Do the improvements offer enough to make it worth upgrading from the previous model? For the average shooter, probably not. For the specialist, there's sure to be something of value to make life easier – for example, the GPS additions, or high-speed crop mode, may be deal breakers to you. On its own merits as a standalone camera, though, the D2Xs is a fine example of optical and digital...

Mark is not good with names. He once introduced me as "his girlfriend... uh... KRISTEN!" Another time he forgot the name of his cousin and I had to remind him, even though I'd never met her. On one memorable occasion he answered the phone "Spectrum, Mike, uh, Mark speaking."
Sitting with him at his brother's wedding was an interesting experience. We'd been dating for about 4 months. As people went through the receiving line he would tell me where they lived, how many kids they had, how long they had either know Barb and Dave or his parents, what their jobs were, how long they had been at said job... but NO NAMES! Earlier that day I had gotten on his case for never introducing me to anyone. He response was that he would have, but he couldn't remember their names. Do you see a pattern emerging?
Anyway, this morning Mark was about to pull up in front of my building so I could get out an go to my office. A woman was walking on the sidewalk. Mark said:
"It's Diane Guilbeault-Jeans." (Sounds like the Girbaud Jeans brand).
"What?" I didn't know what he was talking about.
"That's how we remember her name in our office. Her name is Nancy Guilbeault. So we call her Guilbeault-Jeans."
"You just said her name was Diane."
"Right. I call her Diane so that I remember her name is Nancy."
"Right." Laughing, I exit the car and head to my office where I immediately blog this story.
The story behind the name:
One evening, at the Old Broadway Grill in Fargo, North Dakota, my brother caught the end of a Mountain Dew commercial. In the commercial, a Mountain Dew drinker was riding a shark in the ocean. My brother exclaimed in surprise, not realizing that it was a commercial. When I told him he declared "All I saw was a guy coming out of the shower with a shark." Of course, he meant water, but the idea of showering with sharks has been with me ever since.

July 2009 ( 7.5 years and 5 kids later!)

I cant believe I have been on this journey called motherhood for 5 years now. That is longer than I was in college, longer than anything else I have ever committed myself to (except my marriage, of course!).
Hayden, my firstborn, stole my heart 5 years ago and I still do not have it back. I never will. There was NOTHING in this world like holding him for the very first time, my very first moments as mom. My life was forever changed in an instant. My heart is forever mush.
It's amazing how over these 5 years so much has changed yet so much is still the same. He has grown from baby to toddler to kid, gone from unintelligible babbler to super articulator, from picky eater to super eater, the list goes on...but he has always, from the moment he was born, been a wide-eyed, intense little guy; active and aggressive yet sensitive and sweet. Social, extroverted, curious, talkative, outgoing and slightly mischievous - he has always been these things. Our challenges in parenting him have come with his countless attempts, some being quite intelligent and strategic for his age, to wield control in situations, to gain the upper hand and prove himself as victor in the battle to be in charge. It is also difficult to keep up with his endless energy, respond creatively to his 101 questions a day about everything from why God made all the planets to why we have toes and get him to FINALLY lay his head down and go to sleep at the end of the day. He never wants to miss a thing. One of the most grievous things in his life at this moment is the inequity of parents being allowed to stay up later than kids. He loves trains, airplanes, tractors, boats, race cars, motorcycles, toyotas, baseball, gymnastics, swimming and helping take care of his baby sister. His excitement and enthusiasm about all these things and more make experiencing life with him so enjoyable. I treasure being able to discover and explore with him. While motherhood in general is making me feel old, Hayden's unadulterated passion sends a fresh spirit of youthfulness through my soul. Try as I may, words will never describe my immense love for him, my firstborn, my Hayden James.
Here's the birthday boy upon receiving his gift. A BIG thank you to Grandma and Grandpa and Mimi and Papa!!!
And THANK YOU Grandpa for the awesome shirts and sweatshirt. LOVE the firing itish!!

Phew. We will always remember Brian's 30th b-day no matter how hard we may try to forget certain moments
.....crying (and almost hyperventilating) at the check-in counter in the airport begging the Southwest lady to get us home before the 5:00 when the surprise party was to begin.
Our trouble began when we arrived at a crowded John Wayne airport a generous 60 min before our flight (waiting at the gate is so overrated) with 5 suitcases, 2 car seats and one huge, 5 ft long box containing Hayden's birthday present - a 10 ft trampoline. The man we purchased the tramp from assured us it was about 80 lbs. Being deficient in our ability to judge weight ourselves, we assumed he was correct and that we could check the big box on the plane and just have to pay the oversize fee of 50$. No problem. After waving goodbye to our luggage and car seats as they disappeared from the carousel into airport oblivion, we learned the box really weighed 150 lbs, and would not be allowed on the plane. We frantically tried to separate the contents of the box into 2 packages (without Hayden figuring out what it was) to get them on the plane in the few minutes we had before our plane was to leave but to no avail....we were too late. The real bad news came when we learned that all other flights leaving OC that day were overbooked and there was no way we could go home. EXTREMELY distressed, (poor Brian was quite confused by my seemingly over-reactionary behavior but figures I have been known to be a little freaky these days.) I convinced the check-in lady to re-route us to L.A. and book us boarding passes there, convinced my equally distressed parents to caravan us up to L.A. (we didn't fit in one car) and tried to convince Brian of some good reason as to why I was acting so weird (without telling him there was going to be a houseful of people waiting to yell 'surprise' at him in a few hours.). All was well again until I realized that our car seats were already on their way to Sac and being that the kids had to ride in my dad's convertible, I was not about to let them ride without them! After frantically working that mess out (thank you, Ryan!) we arrived in L.A. and had 3 lovely hours of waiting with 3 very bored kids. Luckily we ran into Blake Griffin, formerly unknown to me, some fancy NBA draft pic, which added some excitement to our terrible day. Brian, in a star-struck stupor, asks him "so, you guys going somewhere?" Maybe he thought NBA stars just hang out in airports for fun! He let us take a picture with him after Brian tried to make it sound like it was Hayden who was the one interested in him. I think Hayden blew the cover when he said "dad, what's a professional?"
If further effort to redeem the day, I asked the steward on the plane to sing a southwest happy birthday to the boys and he obliged. The rest of the evening was a blast. Thanks to all those who came and celebrated with us.

I feel old. I am wondering if turning 29 is almost worse than turning 30. Here at 29, I am feeling all kinds of pressure to do certain things, figure out who I am and how I really want to live before the dreaded day arrives. The words "only one more year" keep ringing in my ears. It's almost as if my life is going to end at 30. I have this (what I hope to be) false idea in my head that youth ends at 30 when, in reality, I will not be surprised if I actually feel younger a year from now. In this present season I feel as though life has taken a baseball bat and hit me over the head with it a few times (I may have enough blue-ish purple color underneath my eyes to prove it!). I am always tired, my brian is on hiatus, I have no personal space anymore, my hair is falling out by the handfuls (thanks hormones!) and I pee when I run.
I think part of the reason I feel this pressure to get myself together this year is because I look to my 30's as hopefully being more consistent, even, less "all over the place" for lack of a better term. In my 20's I really have been all over the place - physically (SoCal, NorCal; North America, South America), emotionally (pregnant, not; pregnant, not; pregnant, not), AND mentally (loosing brian cells by the baby!-starting businesses here and there!). I look forward to things being more of the same (I cant believe I just said that!). Something tells me that I am in for a disappointing reality check that no matter how hard you work to figure things out (like how to best arrange the car seats in the car, how to get places on time, how to plan summer activities without making your family go insane - any thoughts on that one are appreciated, I am currently failing AGAIN!) you are always one step behind because as soon as you do, things change (kid grows out of car seat and now needs a new one in a new spot, things keep starting earlier and earlier and summer is over and holidays are here AHHH !). Will there ever be an equilibrium here in the land of motherhood??? Someone please tell me there is. I have always been good at 'going with the flow', so to speak, and have never been too terribly adverse to change but this is just getting to be too much. 30's save me! It's no wonder they tell you it goes by fast. It's hard to really feel present somewhere, someplace in time, when your head is spinning so fast. I even went to the eye doctor because the chaos in my brian makes me feel like I cant see, can't focus. Ironically, my eye sight has actually improved. Ha!
Anyway, maybe I am feeling this way because I am still just adjusting to having 3 kids. I just fear I will never stop having to adjust. If that is the case, I guess I'll survive. In fact, I may even be better for it - always desperate for the Lord's strength and always humbled by my inability to keep it together. Yes, now that I think about it, that is probably the better way to live. I only wish the Beatitudes were more explicit and said something like "blessed is the sad mom who is disorganized, frazzled, sleep deprived and slightly neurotic, SHE will inherit the earth."
O Lord, be my rest, at 29 and forever.....

Chasing the Chase: Jimmie Johnson Uses Victory to Vault to the Top
by Phil Allaway
Jimmie Johnson picked a good time to break a 24-race winless streak. Johnson's eighth career victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway (while leading a race-high 155 laps) allowed him to take the lead and lock him into the next round in the Chase. Matt Kenseth finished second and will be second in the standings, five points out as all totals were reset following the Round of 16.
Kyle Busch recovered from a tire issue early and damage to the left front corner after running into the back of Chase Elliott to finish sixth and come out of Charlotte in third. Brad Keselowski was quiet for much of the day, quietly running inside the top 10 but managed to bring home the Würth Ford seventh, putting him fourth in points.
Kurt Busch finished right behind Keselowski in eighth and walks out of Charlotte fifth in the standings. Carl Edwards, after a solid Sunday got involved in the big restart wreck, but suffered only minor damage. He finished 12th and ended up sixth in points. Martin Truex, Jr. is one point back in seventh. Denny Hamlin was looking good for a top 5 until the engine blew with less than 30 laps to go. The 30th-place result leaves Hamlin eighth in points.
Austin Dillon and Chase Elliott were both eliminated in the lap 259 restart crash triggered by Truex running into the back of Dillon. Elliott and Dillon are therefore tied for ninth, three points behind Hamlin. Joey Logano was running well until a left-front tire issue put him in the wall. A right-front tire failure resulted in a larger crash later on, forcing the team behind the wall for repairs. Logano ended up 80 laps down in 36th and currently sits in 11th, six points out of a transfer spot into the Round of 8.
Kevin Harvick, after a win put him into this round may have use the "automatic bid" route once again. Harvick was forced to retire due to an engine issue that the team had quite a time trying to diagnose. The 38th-place finish leaves Harvick at the back of the Chasers once again.

Letter of the Race: Sunday's Bank of America 500 was brought to you by the letter "T," for Tires. It appears the tire Goodyear brought to Charlotte was designed to be raced at night, not on a green racetrack in the middle of the afternoon. Racing in the daytime brought delamination problems that resulted in a number of blown tires. The faulty rubber caused a number of cautions and likely changed the outcome of the race. - Phil Allaway

Quotes to Remember: Bank of America 500
compiled by Phil Allaway
"Really, we just fell back on what we are made of at Hendrick Motorsports [after our summer slump]. There is a culture there and a belief. It was not fun to experience after all that we have been through but we have seen the cars get stronger, better and faster. We were able to execute all day long here. You were asking about that restart at the end and the track got so slick that I actually found that restarting on the bottom was a little bit better than what I had up top. I was able to throw it down to the inside of the No. 20 in turn 3 and make the pass, but restarts were really tricky today. I just really can't thank everyone enough that supports us and for all the fans that were tuned in today." - Jimmie Johnson, race winner
"It was quite the battle to get there. We had our work cut out for us. We got to where we were a lot better the first 30 laps of a run the last three runs there. That helped us get some track position and avoid a couple of those wrecks. That was tough on a couple of those teams. I know Chase (Elliott) was part of one. I didn't see what happened, but that is tough for those guys that are battling for this championship. Congrats to Jimmie (Johnson) and the Hendrick Engines, No. 48 teams, those guys did awesome. We did pretty good. We fought hard; the team had great pit stops all day also." - Kasey Kahne, finished third
"Anything can happen – that's why you've got to run these races, so am I surprised? A little bit. Am I shocked? No. We've just got to keep doing what we know how to do and luckily we had the opportunities to be able to battle back and work ourselves back in the position to where we could have a good strong finish." - Kyle Busch, finished sixth
"It's a solid day. To run seventh is OK. We just weren't quite anywhere near as fast as the Nos. 48 and 24, and we were behind a bunch of the others. We just need to find a little bit of speed, but the execution was great. On the last pit stop my guys got the Wurth Ford out with the leaders, which was really good. We're executing well. We just need to find a little bit more speed to be able to make that execution and speed and win races." - Brad Keselowski, finished seventh
"We went through a lot today. The restart, I guess we survived it better than most when everybody had that trouble. We just missed on the setup on the first five laps and then after 30 laps, man, she would just go away. We got what we could out of it and all-in-all an eighth-place finish, guys had trouble, it is one of those days where you just go 'alright,' we will take it. It's not the best, but with Haas Automation, Monster Energy, that is the finish we need to advance through this Chase." - Kurt Busch, finished eighth
"The clutch went out. I had the clutch on the floor sitting there in first gear when they dropped the right side and the clutch just pumped up and pushed my foot all the way up so the clutch just went completely out and I had no clutch at the end. I had to start it in gear and luckily, we were able to get it started. Not sure what happened, just one of those freak deals. Just happened at the wrong time." - Martin Truex, Jr., finished 13th, on his final stop
"Just an engine failure there. We hadn't had one in a long time with TRD (Toyota Racing Development) and Toyota. It's just my time and it's usually Chase time when I have these things happen. Tough break obviously. Had a good car and we'll have to go to Kansas and get a good run there and do everything we can to advance... [the car] was good and I was pacing myself. I thought we had a really good car on the long run and it looked like the No. 48 (Jimmie Johnson) was starting to get loose there and I was staring to reel him back in and that's just part of it. I've been through these mechanical failures a lot throughout my career and it's usually always in the Chase. Unlucky, but in this format you can still win and advance and some other guys had some tough days. We're still not out of it by any means." - Denny Hamlin, finished 30th (blown engine)
"I am fine, it just sucks. We will have to work hard the next two weeks to get the points back. I felt like I got to third gear pretty clean and then the next thing – I feel contact and I am spinning through the grass. It's part of it and we took two tires there and you know the risk when you get into it. You just hope that doesn't happen obviously. I got to third without spinning the tires, and I felt like we got contacted. We will just go on to next week." - Austin Dillon, finished 32nd (crashed out)
"I think the No. 3 spun his tires. I think the No. 78 was trying to push him and ended up getting him out of shape and then I think the No. 18 didn't see it and ended up getting into me. I tried to get off the brakes and get down to keep that from happening but definitely unfortunate. We had such a good car and I am devastated that we didn't get the result that the guys deserved. They gave me such a fast 3M Chevy and that is all you can ask for. We just have got to go and do more of that next week." - Chase Elliott, finished 33rd (crashed out)
"I don't know. Tires are popping. We're not the only car that had the issue, but we're the ones that hit the wall when it happened, so that's not the best place to have them go down. We had a fast car. Our car was capable of winning the race. We drove up from 10th and were up to third and running down the leaders, so I felt really good about what we had. I don't know. Things happen. It's part of racing, I guess... we're not out by any means. We had a very fast car. I'm super-proud of the car we brought here. It was capable of winning, for sure. We ran up from 10th to third and were still running down the leaders early in the race, so I felt really good about the Pennzoil Ford we had. Things happen. It's part of racing, but we're not out. We're not gonna die. This team is resilient. We've proved it before and we'll just have to go out and prove it again. We just have to have two flawless races. It's something we can make up." - Joey Logano, finished 36th
"I'm alright. That was definitely a hard hit when you start from the bottom and get to the top - not the way you ever want to hit. I'm not sure what happened. First off, I can't thank all my guys enough. Harris Teeter on the race car, Stouffer's, everybody that is a part of this, built a brand-new race car; it's our first one since really the beginning of the year. It had a lot of speed in it. There is something weird that started to happen kind of I would say the first third of the race to where I didn't like what was happening with the front end of the car. I couldn't tell if it was just rubber build up or anything like that, but we kept having tire problems with 15 laps to go in the run. Had one start to delaminate and the same thing right there, I started feeling something go again and I don't know if the tire went or something broke, but something was definitely starting to get messed up in front of cars which was costing us speed. We had a lot of speed early in the race, probably the most speed we have had all year at a 1.5-mile early in the race. There is something to be positive about, just not the way we want to end it." - AJ Allmendinger, finished 37th (crashed out)

Q: Here's a somewhat random question. As you may remember, Michael Waltrip walked away from a horrible crash in the 1990 Budweiser 250 at Bristol where Waltrip slid into an improperly latched crossover gate. The gate opened on contact, can-opening the car but believe it or not, the chassis still exists 26 years later. Where is it?
Check back Tuesday for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!
Friday's Answer:
Friday's Answer:
Q: As noted in Friday's Newsletter, Jimmie Johnson is the all-time winningest driver at Charlotte Motor Speedway with now-eight career wins. However, his first career Winston Cup start at then-Lowe's Motor Speedway didn't go so well. What happened?
A: Johnson was running mid-pack when he got a little loose in turn 4. He tried to correct, but couldn't as the No. 48 spun and backed into the outside wall. Ryan Newman spun to the inside to avoid the crash, but managed to lose a lap trying to start his engine in the grass. The crash can be seen here.
Newman continued and eventually finished 19th (right about where Johnson was at the time of the crash). Johnson ended up going to the garage for repairs and did return to the race. He would eventually pull off and finish 39th once he could not advance any more.

Getting the Local Church Involved in Foster Care Ministry
Chris Shandrow will encourage you to get your church involved in serving the foster care community. Chris is the Lead Pastor of Compass Church in Normal, Illinois. Compass was planted in 2013 with the goal of connecting people who are unchurched to the God who loves them.
It's not social justice—it's about the love of Jesus working through his church. The church is God's Plan A—there is no Plan B to reach the broken and hurting.
–Chris Shandrow
Compass and The Forgotten Initiative
One of the ways Compass found to build a bridge to people in need was through reaching out to the local foster care community. "Our experience with TFI really birthed one of our core values, and that is, to live open handed," explains Chris. "We live with hands open to God—He can take or give as much as He wants. We want Compass to be known as a generous church."
When looking to serve people in need at the relationship level, Chris Googled "non-profits" in Bloomington-Normal, and The Forgotten Initiative was one of the organizations he contacted. Compass provided Journey Bags, which enabled the people in his church to buy things for real, specific children in the community. This tangible way to express love to kids—"and we bought the best stuff to show the extravagant love of Jesus, rather than giving leftovers, because that seems to be what kids in foster care always get"—started Compass's relationship with their local foster care community.
Christmas Challenge
As Compass got more plugged in to the needs in their community, a local DCFS agency worker wanted to know if they would be willing to help buy gifts for teens in care—kids and infants had been taken care of, but no one had volunteered to get gifts for the teens. Chris took all eleven names and was shocked when he reviewed the request forms. "They asked for socks, a scarf, boots—these very basic things. It was sad to think that this was all these kids could expect."
So he sent the lists back…and asked for updated requests. He wanted to know what their dream gift was. When he received the updated lists, the kids had asked for things any teen would want: Xboxes, iPods, iPads, Air Jordans. When Chris took both the original lists and updated lists to his church (which was only about 60-70 people at the time), he challenged them to show extravagant love to these teens who rarely, if ever, had received anything extravagant. He was shocked, and thrilled, that every gift was purchased.
The following year, there were 30 kids on the list. Again he challenged the church, and again every single gift came in—TVs, computers—all kinds of "dream" gifts. In fact, the gifts were so nice, Chris got a little bit of push back about it. "Some people were questioning, saying they weren't even buying their own kids things this nice." His response? "Our kids live in an environment of love—these kids don't have that. We don't know what they need, but we trust that the love of God will show through."
And the love keeps growing: Last year, all three local agencies gave Compass the lists for all the kids in foster care—infants all the way up through teens, a total of more than 400 gift requests. This enabled Compass to take another step of faith and reach outside their church to provide the gifts. "We took it outside the walls of our church and encouraged our members to ask other groups, people at their workplaces, non-believers—anyone who could partner with us to show love to these kids in our community."
The benefit was two-fold: Every child received the gift they requested and the people who partnered with Compass to meet the needs could see the value the church adds to the community in a non-threatening way. "We just said yes," explains Chris. "We said here's what we have and God took it to provide for the needs and wants for the kids in foster care. Our service to the foster care community highlighted the relevance of Jesus and the church."
Project Renovate/Project Sunshine
Compass Church has also completed a Project Renovate project. These are service opportunities to help foster or vulnerable families with home projects. Service projects are another way to be involved, but instead of giving money, people can offer their time and talent. In addition, Project Renovate and other service projects enable real one-on-one contact. "Project Renovate allowed us to really get to know the people we were helping," says Chris.
Similarly, Project Sunshine is a way to connect with the agencies by cleaning, painting and making a room at the agency office more inviting to children and their parents. "We've found the agencies have the same low expectations as the kids—it takes work to develop trust to allow us to come help."
Serving the foster care community enables Compass Church to show the love of Jesus to kids in care, agency workers, and foster parents. "It's not social justice—it's about the love of Jesus working through his church. The church is God's Plan A—there is no Plan B to reach the broken and hurting in our world." Reaching out to kids and agency workers is touching them at the soul level—not just the societal level.
Getting involved with The Forgotten Initiative and the local foster care community has changed Compass Church. "We were a church adrift—we didn't know how to get into our community. TFI created a bridge. Once you see the need, you can't unsee it."

Compass Church starting partnering with The Forgotten Initiative several years ago and serves their local foster care community with a desire to show the extravagant love of Jesus to everyone they encounter.
Meet Our Host | Jami Kaeb
Jami Kaeb is a dreamer and a coffee lover! She is married to Clint and the mother of seven–five through adoption. It was through a difficult season of waiting, that Clint and Jami's eyes were opened to the foster care community. They became foster parents to three siblings who they eventually adopted, and in April of 2011, Jami founded The Forgotten Initiative. Jami views life as a great adventure with Jesus and desires simply to know Him more and share His love with those who feel forgotten.

¨Advent (from the Latin adventus meaning "coming") is a liturgical season observed in many Western Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. Advent marks the beginning of the Western liturgical year and begins on Advent Sunday, the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, Dec. 25. For Christians, the season of Advent serves as a reminder both of the original waiting by Israelites for the birth of the Messiah, and the waiting by Christians for the return of Christ. The most famous hymn of Advent is "O Come Emmanuel." Its lyrics, based on the Prophet Isaiah, articulate the hopeful anticipation of the Advent season:
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
Originally observed as a time of fasting and penitence, the emphasis of the season of Advent is one of expectation and anticipation for the coming Messiah. The season of Advent starts out in a sombre tone and for the first two weeks, purple and blue are the primary colors used in church. On the third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday(gaudete means rejoice) pink or rose are the primary colors used. This shift in color symbolizes change in emphasis from expectation to celebration...there is more, thanks to The Huffington Post:
|From darkness to light
The themes of the Advent season are Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. Lighting of candles, especially the circular Advent wreath with five candles is an important tradition of the Advent season. Each Sunday of Advent, one of four candles is lit -- with the final candle, the Christ Candle, being lit on Christmas Eve.

Estimating Soft Processor Soft Error Sensitivity through Fault Injection
N. Harward, M. Gardiner, L. Hsiao, and M. Wirthlin
[W1] [abs] [pdf]
Soft processors are increasingly used on SRAM-based FPGAs for reliable computing systems. In a radiation environment like space, the configuration memory used to configure a soft processor is sensitive to single event upsets (SEUs). Tools are needed to evaluate and estimate the reliability of soft processors in these environments. Fault injection is used to evaluate the configuration memory sensitivity of soft processor designs. This paper describes our fault injection experiments and the sensitivity results on each soft processor experiment. A suite of five benchmarks were executed on the MicroBlaze soft processor to measure the sensitivity of the processor to the software being executed. In addition, several soft processors were evaluated on a Virtex-5 FPGA: MicroBlaze, LEON3, Arm Cortex-M0, OpenRISC, and PicoBlaze. For the software benchmarks, we find that the sensitivity varies as much as 54%. For simple processor configurations running the Towers of Hanoi benchmark, we measure as low as 7,116 sensitive bits for the PicoBlaze, and as high as 112,223 sensitive bits for the Cortex M0.
A Fault Injection System for Measuring Soft Processor Design Sensitivity on Virtex-5 FPGAs
N. Harward, M. Gardiner, L. Hsiao, and M. Wirthlin
[W2] [abs] [pdf]
This paper presents an FPGA fault injection system, a methodology for soft processor fault injection, and fault injection experimental results for MicroBlaze and LEON3 soft processor designs. The Xilinx Radiation Test Consortium-Virtex 5 Fault Injector (XRTC-V5FI) was built to evaluate the configuration memory sensitivity of soft processor designs. To overcome some of the challenges of soft processor fault injection, we designed the XRTC-V5FI to be fast, flexible, and to fully cover all configuration memory bits. The minimum time to inject a full bitstream is 28 minutes and the individual fault injection can be as fast as 49 microseconds. The LEON3 has 81.3 % more sensitive bits than the MicroBlaze, yet when normalized by the number of used slices, the MicroBlaze is 26.2 % more sensitive than the LEON3.
Fonduer: Knowledge Base Construction from Richly Formatted Data
S. Wu, L. Hsiao, X. Cheng, B. Hancock, T. Rekatsinas, P. Levis, and C. Ré
arXiv 2017
[P1] [abs] [pdf]
We introduce Fonduer, a knowledge base construction (KBC) framework for richly formatted information extraction (RFIE), where entity relations and attributes are conveyed via structural, tabular, visual, and textual expressions. Fonduer introduces a new programming model for KBC built around a unified data representation that accounts for three challenging characteristics of richly formatted data: (1) prevalent document-level relations, (2) multimodality, and (3) data variety. Fonduer is the first KBC system for richly formatted data and uses a human-in-the-loop paradigm for training machine learning systems, referred to as data programming. Data programming softens the burden of traditional supervision by only asking users to provide lightweight functions that programmatically assign (potentially noisy) labels to the input data. Fonduer's unified data model, together with data programming, allows users to use domain expertise as weak signals of supervision that help guide the KBC process over richly formatted data. We evaluate Fonduer on four real-world applications over different domains and achieve an average improvement of 42 F1 points over the upper bound of state-of-the-art approaches. In some domains, our users have produced up to 1.87x the number of correct entires compared to expert-curated public knowledge bases. Fonduer scales gracefully to millions of documents and is used in both academia and industry to create knowledge bases for real-world problems in many domains.
TCPTuner: Congestion Control Your Way
K. Miller and L. Hsiao
[S1] [abs] [pdf] [code]
TCPTuner is a TCP (transmission control protocol) congestion control kernel module and GUI (graphical user interface) for Linux that allows real-time modification of the congestion control parameters of TCP CUBIC, the current default algorithm in Linux. Specifically, the tool provides access to alpha, the rate at which a sender's congestion window grows; beta, the multiplicative factor to decrease the congestion window on a loss event; as well as CUBIC's fast convergence and tcp friendliness parameters. Additionally, the interface provides access to ip-route parameters for the minimum retransmission time and initial congestion window size. In this paper, we describe the implementation of TCPTuner and show experimental data of the effects of adjusting congestion control parameters.

Well, the election is over..
Truthfully, I am glad..
I think I have seen more hatred tonight than I have seen in a long time. by looking at the hateful words that I heard...I haved to conclude that many of us are driven by fear more than we are moved by compassion.
We are driven by selfish ambition more than we are driven by self sacrifice.
Tonight, I made an observation on my facebook page. I saw a mother who had lost her son to cancer, bereated for her political comments. People were rude, nasty, and well, just plain dirty to her.
I wrote how we have truly hit the bottom of the barrel as a society. It has nothing to do with our political affiliation, it has everything to do with our lack of love.
We claim Christ but forget that we will be held accountable for our actions and every word that comes out of our mouth. We tout him as a political tool, but tonight I could see the darkness of many hearts.
We refuse to take Christ at His Word and think that our actions are excuseable. We grieve Christ in our hatred. We have a chance to show light to the world, and instead we waste our opportunity on self serving pettiness.
I understand that people fear for our economy. We live in uncertain times. Sometimes, it seems that things hang by a thread. Everywhere I look people seem to be losing their minds.. .. But remember
Christ hasn't given us a spirit of fear..but a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind.. We are called to be salt and light in our world..
we aren't called to be driven by fear....we are called to be images of Christ.. We are called to walk in self sacrificial love and show Him through our example. We are called to Trust Him in uncertain times.. because He says that can.
Do you know many times Christ has come through for those who have laid their lives at His feet?
Don't we yet know that even if our economy fails and the world falls apart. ..we can still lay it all at the feet of Christ and He will provide for us when we learn to truly trust Him. Read the George Muller story ..The Hudson Taylor story..Read my blog.. I can tell you time and time again how God has come through and answered very specific prayers. He hears us. He hears you.
God is good folks and we shouldn't forget that.
The link above is a beautiful song called, I trust in Jesus..by Third Day.
above all, I trust in Him. Man..people..have failed me many times, but the love of Christ endures forver..
IN our quest to be right..have we lost our vison of the Cross.. Have some of us never had a vision of the cross? Have we become a culture so immersed in rhetoic and false teachings..that we have failed to take God at His Word?
But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Matthew 9:13
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall recieve mercy. Matthew 5:7
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26

This paper aims the design and implementation of a visionbased sensor for navigation of underwater vehicles with adaptive attributes. The objective pointed out is a sensor for tracking of underwater lines. The sensor employs a basic structure with a pixel-wise AND operation of binarized frames of separated channels HSV and an edgesegmented frame. The basic sensor performs well by good illuminated scenes. By significant drops of luminance, the efficiency falls. So an adaptive sensor is proposed over the basic structure. It operates on the brightness channel carrying out a maximization of contains in the accumulator bins of a Hough transformation. It has proven to enhanced the identification of the tracked line increasing the success rate.

Iraq minibus bombing 'kills six'
A bomb attached to a minibus killed six people in Iraq's restive Diyala province, police said.
Minibuses are a common means of transport in Iraq, and it was unclear who was targeted in the attack in the town of Khalis, some 80 kilometres north of Baghdad.
Separately, another bomb attached to parked car in Khalis killed one person. Khalis is home to both Sunni and Shiite Arabs, as well as ethnic Kurds.
Violence has fallen in Iraq over the last year, but the insurgency remains stubborn in areas like Diyala and northern Nineveh province, where militants have been able to exploit religious and ethnic divisions.

So today was my last official day of summer break. Yes, I still have this weekend, but it's just not the same. Monday morning starts a whole two months of 8:00 classes and labs. I am NOT looking forward to it. But, it's probably a good thing that I will be getting some structure in my life because I have been extremely lazy the past month. But I did get to read a few books and catch up on sleep. I did not get to live at the pool like I thought I would though. Oh well, there's always weekend right? :)
Tonight we have plans to go out for my friend Catherine's birthday. It should be a fun night of catching up with all of our college friends. Tomorrow, Gabe and I are going to Little Rock for lunch and to do a little shopping for him. I like shopping for Gabe almost as much as I like shopping for myself. Then Sunday, weather permitting, I can hopefully get some pool time in before the dreaded Monday morning.
Totally switching topics, I was so upset to hear that the oil is starting to wash up on the beaches in Gulf Shores, AL. For most of my life my family has vacationed there every summer. I feel like those beaches are a second home to me. We've been through hurricanes and tropical storms together and always come out alright. But this oil disaster is something totally different. It may be years before things are back to normal. I can't help but get depressed when I think about all of the birds, fish, dolphins, and other sea life that are affected by this. I feel so helpless in this situation. And I am absolutely furious at BP for not doing more.
Anyway, sorry to end on such a depressing note. I hope all of ya'll have a great weekend!

What will be the partnering amp and speakers?
18 responses Add your response
The CA-301 (only amp I could find a spec for) has a very high input impedance- making it easy to drive for the Metis- which is good because I have read that the Rogue has trouble driving some amps.
If this was pure coincidence you got lucky. However I also noticed that it needs 1.75v to hit its rated output power. This is a little high which indicates that you may need to turn it up to get things going if your speakers are lower in sensativity.
You are going to have to wait and see. I think you will be okay. Even if it is a little noisier than what you have today, it still could sound a lot better.
Owned the Metis. It is rather noisy for a tube preamp.... have the Cary SLP-05 now and it is much quieter in all aspects. The Metis is a good pre, it gave me a good taste of having a tube pre paired with a SS amp.... very nice combo I think.
Do not ditch the Metis just yet... what exactly is noisy? Do you think it could be a ground issue?
Fruff, i recently purch'd the metis on agon. I also have the Usher 6381's -- coincidence! the rest of my system consists of a Musical Fidelity a308cr cd player (wonderful and detailed) and Operetta SS amp (google Jaton Operetta. a relative newcomer to the game, this amp sounds almost tubey). The entire system is the best I've had. I've got tube warmth (I upgraded the stocks to GE GTA's - nice improvement in mid weight and less harsh).
I hear speaker hiss when I put my ear to the speaker, that's about it. It is a little noisier then other preamps I've had, but not noticeable from my listening position. Overall happy with it in this system. I recommend tube rolling and if you can, upgrading power cords and plugging into a decent power conditioner (i've got a PS Audio Quintet).
Just bought an used Rogue Metis (with GE 6SN7) from a nice gentleman in Canada; unit was relatively quiet IMO with my listening volume control up to approx. 12 O'clock. My other components as follow: power amp: McIntosh MC275, DAC/transport: EAD 7000 MkIII/1000T, speakers: Clements Little "d". The Rogue is my most recent addition, and definitely an improvement, replacing a rather nice N.E.W. (this USA manufacturer was purchased by Cary in the late 90's) model P-3 triode preamp.

Premeasure to make baking a breeze
Published 3:22 pm, Thursday, September 3, 2015
DEAR HELOISE: I love to bake and make several batches of a recipe at a time. To make baking easier, I premeasure all the ingredients and place them in small bowls. I group together the ingredients needed for a batch. That way, I already know I have the ingredients measured and ready for the next round of baking.
— Valerie V., San Francisco
DEAR HELOISE: I travel every week for work. I hope this can help other travelers. I use the hair dryer provided by the hotel to dry my toothbrush before I pack. I've even used it to dry my shirt after I spilled some water on it.
— Steve S., Fairfax, Va.
DEAR HELOISE: Is there a way to make liquid starch at home? I think I remember you had a recipe for it. Thanks for the help!
— Dee Ann, via email
Dear Dee Ann: Yes, there is. You can buy it and avoid all the mess. However, it's a good lesson for children to see how to make it. It's also a fun way to learn math and how to follow directions and pay attention. Here's what you need:
1/2 cup corn starch
1 cup cold water
Boiling water
A large pot
Mix the corn starch and cold water together until smooth. Put this into a large pot, and carefully add boiling water a little at a time. Here is the amount of boiling water needed, depending on how "stiff" you want the starch to be: For heavy starch, add 2 quarts; for medium starch, add 4 quarts; and for light starch, add 6. Dip fabric in the starch, and hang to dry.
The clothes will be stiff. Sprinkle with a little warm water before ironing.
DEAR HELOISE: I work from home part-time. Even though I tell my family I'm working, they still interrupt me. When I am on the phone is when they seem to need something. I had my daughter help me make a sign for my office door. It says, "Mom is working" on one side, and "work done" on the other side. Now when I go into my office to work, I flip the sign. It works —most of the time.

PITTSBURGH - Family members of a man who was shot by police during a traffic stop say authorities won't let them visit him in the hospital.
Police said 19-year-old Leon Ford is in critical but stable condition at a Pittsburgh hospital.
Ford allegedly refused to cooperate with officers and drove off after the Sunday traffic stop. Fearing he would be dragged away, one officer jumped into the car and then reportedly fired after Ford resisted and refused orders to stop.
Lt. Kevin Kraus of the Pittsburgh police says people who are in custody in a hospital aren't allowed visitors.
Court records don't show that Ford has been charged, but police say that he will face aggravated assault and other charges.
Family members are asking that they be allowed to visit Ford.

They are a heartless population who depend on us,
They ate the eggs, chewed the meat, drank the palm oil and left our young malnourished,
They drank our wine but failed to give us water,
When I think of how the gods depend on us, I feel more god than them,
With their powers, they never move without our aid and never eat till we feed them,
These are gods that are spoken to, never hear and never talk back,
We see them but their eyes are closed and their ears deaf to our plights,
When their priests bring their supposed messages, it is wrath and curse with no blessing.
These gods have no peace and so offer none,
Anytime we looked up to them, our hearts remain restless and our minds peaceless,
Can they give what they don't have?
Because they were carved from our finite thoughts, they are limited in power and exploits.
They kill but never give life,
Are they gods who can't make?
Are they gods when they can't forgive?
They never wrote to us, so we never knew how to please them; yet they accused us,
That's why we left them behind when the God who was LOVE called us.
His light outshone their dark ills, cleansed our stained selves and offered us peace and Hope.
I present to you Jehovah.
