Ghosts in the Hollow
By Amy Hyatt Fonseca
There's magic in that hollow. Hidden in the little house nestled near the bend of the Cartecay River and the slope of Appalachia's hills. She's a gypsy of a shack with her whitewashed boards and tangled rose bushes that clamber on either side like vines to nowhere.
Granny sits on the end of the porch with a spit cup of snuff and a mama cat that snoozes beside her. The hollow is quiet until Granny's three-legged dog snaps his jaws at cars whizzing past them. Drivers headed to town, too hurried to notice the house and her peculiar charm.
But sometimes, in the wee early morning, the mist rolls into the valley and settles in her bones. That's when you might get a glimpse of the house and the apparition from her past who lingers outside her door.
Oh, but take heart little house because I see you.
I'll always see you.
Peek through the cracked window with me, and you might spot her Technicolor ghosts too. Look, we stand near the table, my cousins and I. How we scamper through the house after church and giggle when our towheaded auntie snaps her dishrag to shoo us outside to play.
In the kitchen, fried chicken sizzles on the stove while Granny's homemade biscuits brown in the oven. The aunties, five of them with indigo eyes, gossip about a story on the front page of last week's Times Courier. Sometimes in hushed tones, they mention a baby girl too; a sixth sister named Joan. She lies in the cemetery with Pawpaw, now — rock-a-bye baby beneath a headstone.
Then there's Granny, the matriarch of the hollow. A true Appalachian lady, calloused hands and Godly hearted. On this Sunday afternoon, she teeters through the kitchen. And the thump of her cane against the slanted floors makes all the aunties flutter. One pulls out a chair at the table while another fetches Granny's coffee with cream and no sugar.
Meanwhile, the cousins and I gather around to listen when Granny speaks. Wise words about the pole beans in her garden or the applesauce she'll can for us next fall. I want to sit and chat with Granny more. I do. But a buttery aroma weaves through the air and makes my belly grumble. So we leave Granny behind to sip her coffee while we flock to the porch and visit the uncles.
The screen door bangs. Bitter cigarette smoke rises and twirls around us. Mama's brothers, three of them with faded cobalt eyes, puff on Marlboros and shoot the breeze. Not Daddy, though. He leans forward in a homemade shaker chair with a movie reel inside his head. He tells ghost stories too, haunted tales about friends lost in war.
Near the porch's edge, another cousin strums a few chords on his guitar. From time to time, when the music seeps into the house, Mama and the aunties venture out to belt a few tunes — Dolly Parton or Loretta Lynn. Followed by my favorite, a rendition of Oh, Come, Angel Band. Sometimes the cousins and I join in too:
My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run;
My strongest trials now are past,
My triumph is begun.
I hum the song while I dig through the cooler near the door. My numb fingers sift through the ice until I strike fool's gold. I grab a Coca-Cola because, as Mama says, we aren't sweet tea people. After I pop the top and take a swig, my eyes sting from the bubbles that fizz down my throat.
Then I hear it. An auntie hollers dinnertime. The cousins and I grin at each other and sprint back inside, a failed effort to beat the boys to the food. Crammed shoulder-to-shoulder around the table with my kin, I mutter a prayer in my head. Dear God, please grant me a scoop of mashed potatoes before the boys eat them. A drumstick might be nice too. Amen.
It's dessert I love best, though. Particularly, Mama's homemade cheesecake swirled with chocolate on top. How I miss the sweetness on my tongue now that Mama's confectioner smile is long gone — rock-a-bye baby beneath the headstone.
Once we fill our bellies, Mama tells my brother and me it's time to go home. My chest tightens, and I beg to stay longer, but she always shakes her head no. So, I lean in to give Granny a woeful hug and inhale her scent — lavender and snuff, mixed with resilience. She pats my shoulder, and I promise to come back soon. To Granny and her gypsy of a shack with its whitewashed boards, and tangled rose bushes that clamber on either side like vines to nowhere.
And every Sunday I keep my word.
I visit Granny.
I play with the cousins.
I eat biscuits and drink Coke.
I go home.
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Until one day, I don't.
Now, dear Granny resides there still. Between the Cartecay River and the slope of Appalachia's hills. Through the window she watches another generation of cousins play, beneath the gnarly boughs of her applesauce-making tree.
And although I live miles from the little house nestled near the bend when the wind whips across the scrubby pines I swear she whispers in my ear. I inhale roses and earth, and my mind wanders back. To the hollow, the little house, and those Sundays long gone. A ghost fated to return — rock-a-bye baby beneath a headstone.

I have an addiction to old/vintage slotted screws. Why? Slotted screws are easy to use, don't strip easy, old stock are made from quality steel, and the threads really bits into the wood. But what if the screws in the box are not what they say they are? Now imagine buckets of screws, how do you determine what size the screw is?
|Buckets of old slotted screws that no one wants because they are so called hard to install. I love buckets of screws.
To easily determine the size of the screw I own/use many standard screw gauges. Screw gauges can easily inform you of the the size of the screw and the length. I often buys these gauges at flea markets for a few bucks. Many may not need to know what a screw size is but for someone who repairs furniture knowing what screws I need really saves a ton of time.

Pumpkin Spice's Birthday || Photoshoot Recap
This post is just slightly late, because yesterday was actually this sweet little girl's birthday, and so of course I did a photoshoot with her in the mid-afternoon. Well. I tried. She wanted to go play with A & Raggedy Ann, so I took a couple of shots and let her play, because, after all, it was her birthday. :) But I had fun anyway, using F. 1.8 again.
So serious!! I didn't focus on her nose on purpose, or her hair really, but I liked how it turned out. ;)
Oh! That grin makes me smile!! I love her red hair as well, it gives it some color in the picture, besides the grassy hill behind her. :)
I didn't bring out my camera for the cake or anything since we had several IPods and phones out already "capturing memories," so that's all the pictures I have of her today. I'm sorry for such a short post, but I have to finish up some school tests and such *sigh* so I'd better go!! Have a great weekend everyone!!
Are you celebrating any birthdays soon, or did celebrate recently?
Hadassah <3


text: Conrad grew up in the Billings, Montana area on a 100-acre farm. His upbringing was surrounded by hard satisfying work in farming certain cash crops such as sugar beets, pinto beans, and corn to name a few. From a young age, he was involved in 4-H and all aspects farming, feeding and raising cattle, and learning the detailed work of maintaining and fixing all the farm machinery. His upbringing and work ethic taught him the value and satisfaction of hard work. He purchased and operated his own 1200-acre farm and ranch for fifteen years. During this time he built his own home on his farm/ranch from the foundation up. By 1995, his former wife and his three sons decided to make the move to Oregon City, Oregon. He started a new profession here in Oregon in upscale furniture sales that complimented his upholstery side-job experience in Montana. He quickly advanced as the top seller and soon after moved directly into the sales management arena for over eight years. He operated over 100,000 dollars in annual sales and increased sales by 10%. With his background and versatile experience, he was privileged to also expand into the design of contemporary leather furniture directly with the manufacturer in Foshan City, China for six years. He frequently traveled to China to the manufacturing facility to ensure the quality standards of furniture designs that were built. A few years ago, Conrad transitioned what was just a hobby of construction during his past, into becoming a fully licensed and bonded Oregon Construction Contractor. He has been involved in numerous remodeling and renovation projects in various commercial buildings and historic homes. Also, he has been intimately involved in the finishing/detailing work of over 50 newly constructed residential homes. As a Realtor®, he provides a deeper understanding and knowledge of all types of real estate--let it be new or older homes to farm land. His cutting edge experience will set him apart from other Realtors as he helps his clients experience a truly memorable adventure finding their own dream home or farm. He was taught from an early age on, to have an honest, hardworking, ethical and moral standard. Currently, Conrad lives in Oregon City, Oregon on a 3-acre timber farm with his current wife Marika. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his five granddaughters; antique shopping; buying, selling and repairing clocks.

What if you were to accept every single thing that has happened or is happening in your life right now?
By accepting I mean looking at any given situation and understanding that it is happening, or that it has already happened and leave it at that. No judgement, no trying to control or manipulate the outcome. Simply allowing that situation to be just as it is.
Does this sound like giving up to you? Does this sound like being cowardly? Does it sound like laziness?
It might to some.
To me it sounds like a stress free, peaceful way of going about life.
Take a moment to think of the one thing that is happening in your life right now that is occupying space in your mind and heart, dominates your thoughts and has you awake at night.
What have you done thus far to deal with this situation?
Is that working?
I'm going to guess that it hasn't.
What I have noticed in the past when I have tried to control or manipulate the outcome of a situation is that the situation got worse, it got more intense and was prolonged. It is in these moments that I need to remind myself that 'what we resist, persists'.
The opposite of resistance is acceptance.
We stumble on acceptance because we haven't practiced using it a whole lot. Life & society tells us to work hard towards a solution, fight to the death so to speak (some people take this one literally).
By accepting something you aren't giving up. You aren't condoning bad behaviour. You don't have to like what is happening. By accepting something you are saying 'I choose a life free from stress over a life full of tension and anxiety'.
Accepting what is does not mean we relieve ourselves of responsibility. You don't rack up thousands of dollars worth of debt and then say "oh well, I guess I just have to accept it" and not make any motions towards paying that debt back. What you can do is choose not to worry about said debt, it's already happened, it's already there, that's the reality of the situation and then you take responsibility for it.
Debt doesn't go away if you stick your head in the sand and misbehaving children don't develop a better attitude if mom or dad constantly have their battle gear on.
When I think of acceptance I instantly get a visualization of a door opening. In the moment when acceptance occurs, a weight is lifted, our breathing gets deeper we feel more relaxed, it is in that moment when opportunities come that will be tailored to your getting the situation resolved.
Have you ever tried to reason with a screaming child? This is what non-acceptance is like, it's like talking to a brick wall and expecting wisdom in return. It gets you no where.
It's easy to confuse yourself though and say that you are accepting when behind the scenes you are still working at undermining others, manipulating outcomes and judging situations. You'll know your acceptance level hasn't hit the mark if you are experiencing the same resistance.
Practice makes perfect though so don't give up. Keep accepting, even the smallest moments of acceptance can create huge opportunity and change.

One common problem for many autistics is sensory issues. For Liam, one in particular is a seat belt. He hates how it rubs his neck, and always wants to put his shoulder strap behind him. That's unsafe, so we needed to find a seat belt pad to help relieve his discomfort.
Safety, Comfort, and Autism Medical Alert All in One
Sew Good by Dolores creates the nicest Autism Medical Alert Seat Belt Covers. First of all, they are super soft to the touch (made of micro suede,) and keep the seat belt from rubbing your loved ones skin, or cutting into their neck.
Secondly, they will alert first responders, medical personnel, or even police that your loved one is on the autism spectrum. You can choose from Autism, Autism Low Verbal, or Autism Non Verbal. There is a puzzle piece design, or a medical alert design to choose from as well. Each one is embroidered by Dolores, and she can even add a name to your seat belt cover.
Each one comes with a paper for you to fill in your loved ones medical data. There's even a spot for a picture too. This is so nice in the event of an emergency. Even if your child happens to be verbal, there's no guarantee they will speak or respond to emergency personnel. This way, you'll know that responders will be aware of their condition. (It tucks nicely into the pocket, inside the cover.)
Not Just for Autism
Sew Good by Dolores, has luxury seat belt covers for other conditions too. She has Heart Disease, Epilepsy, CHD, Deaf, Diabetes, Special Needs, and so many more. To see them all, check out her listing.
Dolores also makes medical alerts for backpack straps, as well as nice pillows and more. Her embroidery work is flawless and beautiful. The customer service she gives is equally amazing!
Liam Approved
Liam recently received a Medical Alert Seat Belt Cover from Sew Good by Dolores. I put it on his seat belt and he loved it. He keeps rubbing his face on it. Liam also informed me that, "it makes this nasty belt nicer mama!" So there you have it, it's Liam approved! :)

Re: Development for RFID FX7400Mariano Colabraro Jul 9, 2013 6:23 AM (in response to Guillermo James)
You can start downloading the EMDK for .NET or for C++ from Motorola support page. There you should have some samples and libraries to start off.
Once you installed check the library RFID3 and its samples

Hi, thanks for your answer. What about developing with RhoStudio, is there something?
Re: Development for RFID FX7400Mariano Colabraro Jul 11, 2013 6:39 AM (in response to Guillermo James)
I'm not sure, that question would be better answered if you post it on RhoMobile section.
Re: Development for RFID FX7400Ewald Ramp Jul 12, 2013 10:12 AM (in response to Guillermo James)
As far as I am aware, the only support RhoStudio/Rhomobile has for RFID is limited to MC31/MC91 devices, and only on-device on those devices.
As Rhomobile is a client-side technology, I don't think it will be very suited for supporting the potentially constant/always on read ability of the FX series.
Additionally, imagine 2 users accessing the app at the same time, the FX7400 only allows for a single connection to receive the reads, and therefore one of the two users will be shown a connection error.

Because that's what we do.
When things shorten a leg on our comfy chair, they cause us to squirm and wiggle and sit just so in an effort to feel like the legs are all still the same length. We don't want to go get a new leg, repair the old one, or even just get up and wedge something under the short leg. We find a posture from which we feel undisturbed.
Take the two articles at Bloomberg that I linked in my last post. They were revelatory of our retreat while whooping war cries (Face it, even mentioning divorce is risky, hence the war cry reference) by virtue of the dots they failed to connect.
The next one is worse. It is about a study that concludes there is essentially no correlation between parenting and IQ. IQ is genetic, they determine, and interventions by parents and/or the education system have no measurable effect on a child's ultimate IQ.
I'm guessing that lots of Bloomberg readers flipped the laptop shut and guffawed when they read:
the environment that affects IQ doesn't consist of the advantages that most people have in mind — parents who talk a lot to their toddlers, many books in in the house for the older children, high-quality schools and the like.
That's not the thing that shortens the chair leg though. People who adopt the lifestyle described in the quote are not bothered by it because their solipsism and quiet egomania with a sense of pedigree for their kids. The Moms in particular can get around these results by thinking, " people aren't numbers, everyone is different, my neighbors and sisters all played Chopin music during pregnancy while flipping through travel books about Warsaw. And their kids are geniuses.
Wonder how they got round this next one though. the study found one correlation between IQ and parenting. Just not a positive one.
Some of the slight effects they did find were in the "wrong" direction. For example, maternal attachment was negatively associated with IQ in the children.
The economy is causing divorces.
Post divorce couples get poorer as individuals.
Being over 50 is causing divorces.
Maternal attachment (which sadly is all that most kids of divorced parents are left with if we are honest) is negatively correlated to IQ.
How much information do we need in order to cough out the words describing the gender specific aspects of the issue? Sorry, I'm being precious again. I mean the things that can be tied to women's choices. Outcomes for kids, financial outcomes, women chasing utopia by freeing themselves then ending up surveying as a group….far less happy.
The info is all out there. And we are accused of focusing repetitiously on the same things over and over. I wonder why we do that.

Yeah so I got a set and I wasn't expecting a whole lot for $5 honest. I've been throwing for about a year and I lost my last knife awhi. Bought these cuz they were cheap and cuz they looked to be excellent CQC daggers. They came roughly ground and the burrs nullified whatever edge they had (Not that I'd slice with a tip like that) but the point was great and likely capable of piercing even sheet metal. Unfortunately these knives bent fairly severely, not at the tip like most throwing knives but between the handle and blade. This was after about 4 throws to a very thin softwood target (In the blades defense these were fairly bad throws because I'm slow to compensate new knives). I know I got what I paid for but the bend was just from out of left field. Other than that they were decently balanced, and had a likeable weight. My issue is how could that bend get ther after so few throws.
These were the first throwing knives I've ever bought. I enjoy throwing them in my room and they do stick to wood well. The only thing is the tips bend easily and i got one that had a chip off the tip so it wasn't sharp but it still stuck in cardboard. Over all great starter knives.
I bought 3 sets not for throwing but for short 4 foot spears. Hope you keep them in stock.
All and all. 5$ with a large purchase i was saisfied. They are small but cant beat the price.
I think these throwers are great! They were razor sharp! I carry one at all times in my purse or in my boot. I've been buying knives etc from BUDK for several years, just about every month! LOVE this site! Karen -
the knives themselves are pretty nice, pretty sharp.
my problem is with the case. i ordered two, on one the knives came in paper, in a plastic bag in the sheath, the other just had the paper.
two of the knives with the paper had already stabbed through the sheath during shipping.
and when you take a knife out, good luck getting it back in.
it could poke out the end, and stab you if you have it on your belt.

"Ice Cream & Opera," a Children's Opera Learning Adventure production of the Livermore Valley Opera, will be performed at 2 p.m. today at the Bankhead Theater, 2400 First St. in Livermore
The performance follows the group's opening of its 19th season last night with the contemporary interpretation of the classic Mozart opera, "Don Giovanni."
"It's important for LVO to stretch creatively and to expose our audiences to diverse artistic visions," said Livermore Valley Opera Executive Director Sara Nealy.
The children's opera will be performed against next Sunday, Oct. 10.
After both shows, children will have an opportunity to go on stage and experience what a performer sees while on stage, meet the director and cast members.
"We believe that a contemporary interpretation of Don Giovanni will help to engage new and younger audiences by making connections with them that are relevant."
After the show, children will have an opportunity to go on stage and experience what a performer sees while on stage, meet the director and cast members.
"Don Giovanni" will be back next Saturday at 8 p.m.
LVO also uses YouTube to present Streshinsky talking in depth about his vision of this unique production. View the video at www.livermorevalleyopera.org.
Charlene McKenna and Deborah Edginton had a chance to meet one of the cast of "Don Giovanni" as they shared a glass of wine on the terrace of Campo di Bocce recently. But they didn't expect the service to be quite so attentive.
When a handsome waiter arrived to see if there was anything he could do for them, he stared a little too long and a little amorously at the two women before breaking out into an aria. The "waiter" was noted baritone Eugene Brancoveanu, star of the Livermore Valley Opera's "Don Giovanni" production.
"Opera is so much more exciting, fun and playful than most people imagine and we're trying to bring the experience to people in a variety of ways," Nealy said. "Eugene could not be a better performer for this kind of activity; he's a talented artist, charismatic, and a great actor -- actually a Tony Award winner!"
Don Giovanni (Don Juan in Spanish) is arguably the most notorious ladies' man in literature, theater and film. Brancoveanu was accompanied by videographer Chad Caines and crew from Caines & Associates, an Interactive Multimedia Production company based in San Ramon, who had to hide behind plants and even place a microphone in bunch of grapes to facilitate stealth filming.
The crew also filmed at First Street Ale House and Uncle Yu's in the Vineyard, where sommelier Nick Laing, an operaphile and singer, wined and dined the crew after the challenging shoot, even pouring a sparkling rose from Venice connected to the Don Giovanni legend.
In one unanticipated scene, a group of women were holding a wedding shower, and Brancoveanu sang to the bride-to-be the same aria that his Don Giovanni character sings to the bride-to-be in the opera as he steals her away from her betrothed.
Livermore Valley Opera was founded in 1992. It combines the talents of professional musicians, stage directors, principal singers and designers with the dedication and practical abilities of volunteers filling such critical roles as board members, chorus, stage crew and set builders to reach its artistic goals.

Gabrielle Smith discusses how broadcasters and creators are tackling the issue of children's mental health on-screen
In the current political climate, even the smallest act of kindness can go a long way. As a generation of children and young people are becoming increasingly anxious, with almost two-thirds of children aged 10 and 11 worrying 'all the time,'[i] problems like loneliness, isolation and bullying are having a huge impact on the confidence and self-esteem of this demographic.
With that in mind, it is imperative for content makers to not only raise a collective consciousness of tolerance and respect, but use their knowledge of children's media to engage with kids in a meaningful way. Recent research[ii] shows that unaddressed mental health problems amongst children can sadly lead to self-harm, substance abuse and even suicide. However, it can be difficult to spot the early signs of severe mental health problems. Often, they can be confused with family problems, or unhappiness at school and academic pressure around exams. With CBBC programmes like My Life, Lifebabble and flagship show Newsround acting as useful guides to life's 'ups and downs', these shows also provide relevant information on how to cope with a range of issues that may affect children between the ages of 6-12 years. Globally speaking, BBC and Sky Kids are also uniting in a kindness campaign under the banner 'Project Hope.' In short, television is stepping up to the plate and rising to the challenge of addressing the issues impacting children and young people.
With a greater emphasis on helping children gain social and emotional skills like empathy and resilience, children's media is making strides to include messages of kindness, tolerance, and respect for others. In integrating these key life skills, along with things like teamwork and perseverance, television is preparing children for the future and demonstrating coping mechanisms for difficult situations. CBeebies is also ensuring that these messages are passed on to their youngest audience members through community based dramas such as Appletree House as well as their most recent campaign trail 'Everyone's Welcome' – highlighting values of openness and friendship, as well as reflecting and promoting diversity in the U.K.
In short, television is stepping up to the plate and rising to the challenge of addressing the issues impacting children and young people
Across BAFTA Children's categories, it seems clear that content no longer needs to be purely didactic to deliver an important message. Conversations around creating kinder characters are ongoing. For example, learning how to be kind in pro-social gaming such as Lego Dimensions or Taking the Next Step Game can help to prepare children for real-life experiences. Such digital role-play gaming, can, as Jon Mason (Founder and MD, Jollywise) explained at the Children's Media Conference[iii] 'help audiences to understand right and wrong,' as well as acting as a 'cyber sandbox' for children before they move on to use and experiment with social media. Animations such as The Amazing World of Gumball also play a vital role in demonstrating that friends and family can come in all shapes and sizes and a recent Cartoon Network survey found that many kids value humour and kindness above all.[iv]

BAFTA/Lisa Prime
As well as raising awareness of some of the serious issues that can arise during childhood, BAFTA is also in partnership with Place2Be – a leading U.K. children's mental health charity that works to provide support and counselling in schools across England, Scotland and Wales. This year sees the 'BAFTA Kids Roadshow' move across cities and towns, promoting the theme to 'spread a little kindness' through design competitions and assemblies combining happiness and well-being through mental health support, as well as a Masterclass in TV presenting with current talent Katie Thistleton and Ben Shires. In addition, some of the events around National Children's Day (14 May) have not only highlighted 'random acts of kindness', but have begun to lead the way as a new and exciting type of activism that holds inclusiveness, creativity and happiness in childhood at its core.
In highlighting the potential risks, the call to action is now stronger than ever. With a growing momentum around altruistic behaviour and acts of kindness, the need to become more literate in mental health concerns is a priority for all involved. The responsibility for health and social care falls on every single one of us across the industry, as well as being a part of our children's wider social curriculum at school and at home. Whilst creators of kid's content are helping to allay fear by positively tackling some of the problems that children face daily, one thing is certain – kindness is best taught by example.

I couldn't outlast last night's five-hour NLR Council meeting for the bottom line -- that Mayor Pat Hays put off a vote on his school property tax grab to seek further legal advice on the flim-flam.
He now hopes few will turn out on New Year's Eve when he expects his Council stooges, including very lame ducks, to ratify whatever scheme he ultimately cooks up. It will come no more than seven hours under the wire in annexing school property taxes from The Enclave apartments -- completed and occupied -- to finance a parking deck for a private hotel developer five blocks away.
I don't think he can make it legal, no matter what. But even if he does, it is wrong. Tax Increment Finance districts such as that in which The Enclave sits are created to provide public benefits to encourage a private development. In return, some of the new property taxes are siphoned off to repay a public investment. The process is turned upside down here by Hays. The apartments were built without public help. They didn't need it. Now they are about to go on the tax books. Minutes before it would be clear the city has no colorable claim on the money, Hays plans to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars the needy schools are about to receive annually to educate children (including some in the new apartments, most likely) to spend elsewhere. W-R-O-N-G
Yes, I know. Downtown development would be good for the city. It might create new sales tax revenue (none of which goes to directly to NLR schools). But, as good as this might sound to people in the Argenta neighborhood, that is NOT the legal standard by which tax money can be diverted from public schools. If it was, the greedy developers would insure there was no school tax money left at all.
D-G didn't report this, but the NLR Daily News blog linked above notes that the neighboring Wyndham Hotel and owner Frank Fletcher have joined the fray and attorney Sam Hilburn's voice has been added to that of the NLR School Board in suggesting a legal challenge is possible to this misbegotten TIF scheme. They are not alone.
And speaking of wrong: One of Mayor Hays' wired votes on the Council is outgoing Alderman John Parker. Over multiple objections, Hays appointed him to the Planning Commission last night while he still sat on the Council. Parker naturally voted for himself. Ah, Dogtown.

"Why would we [trick]? We have all the data, all the GPS data. It's verified. It's already verified." – Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali
Lamborghini is doubling-down on the legitimacy of the Huracan Performante's moulding-car record at the Nürburgring.
The Italian supercar maker should have been on a enormous when it launched its Huracan Performante at the Geneva Motor Show, but it was instead feigned to defend the 6:52.01 lap time on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife circuit in the wake of judgement.
Skeptics suggested the footage had been sped up from a rate of 24 frames per duplicate to 25, arguing the 'authentic' lap time would have been closer to 7:08. James Glickenhaus, the P of ultra-low volume supercar maker Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, even called for the lap to hold a special day to verify production car lap times.
"Why would we [cheat]?" Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali asked incredulously. "We bear all the data, all the GPS data. It's verified. It's already verified.
"The simulation we did before we did the lap was already heartier than the previous time [set by Porsche's hybrid supercar, the 918 Spyder].
"What we saw was the colossal potential of active aerodynamics. The Nürburgring is a lot of partial throttle and long corners. The SV [Aventador] was for steadfast faster on the straight, but the lap [by the Performante] was all recorded."
A Lamborghini spokesman suggested the entire argument was rooted in "one blogger's business model [of] paying for clicks."
Audi Sport condition head, Stephan Reil, also weighed in during last week's Audi RS3 despatch, insisting Lamborghini would have had no reason to cheat at anything and that its running aerodynamics would have more than made up for any power shortfalls. Audi is a sister manufacturer of Lamborghini under the ownership of Volkswagen Group.
"We also know that architecture okay [the Huracan shares its architecture with Reil's R8]. We know what it's gifted of," Reil said. "The Performante 'Ring time is absolutely credible. Active aero makes a enormous difference.
"We did a TT production racer for the 'Ring with about 380 horsepower and gave it most wing. It was so slow down the straight that everybody passed it, but the overall lap moment was very, very fast. Much faster than without the aero downforce. So I differentiate how much real aero downforce gives you, and Lamborghini worked out how to get it without paying for it down the straights."

Syrian army says has liberated Palmyra from Daesh terrorists
The Syrian army says it has fully liberated Palmyra from the grip of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, marking the second recapture of the ancient city.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Syrian army announced that the government forces were in control of Palmyra after a series of military operations and with the help of Russia's air cover as well as "allied and friendly troops."
The announcement came after the Kremlin said the Syrian military, backed by Russian aircraft, had managed to fully retake the city.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu informed President Vladimir Putin of the completion of the Palmyra operation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying.
Additionally, Russian lawmaker Andrey Krasov said the Daesh flag had been removed from the historic oasis city, adding, "It should be viewed as a joint success of the Russian Air Force and the Syrian military. Shortly, the whole territory of Syria will be liberated from the terrorists."
Meanwhile, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), which is sympathetic with foreign-backed militants, said Daesh terrorists had completely retreated from Palmyra.
Daesh "has fully withdrawn from Palmyra, but the Syrian army is still clearing neighborhoods of mines and has not spread out into the whole city yet," said SOHR Director Rami Abdel Rahman.
Earlier on Thursday, Syria's official SANA news agency said army units had established control over the Palmyra Citadel, the Communications Hill and the Dedeman Palmyra after inflicting heavy losses on Daesh terrorists.
Daesh first seized Palmyra, also known in Arabic as Tadmur, in May 2015 and began looting and demolishing the UNESCO world heritage site's monuments and temples.
The Syrian arm purged the Takfiri elements from the 2,000-year-old city in March 2016.
However, Daesh recaptured Palmyra once again in December 2016 after days of intense fighting as the Syrian military focused mainly on defeating terrorists in eastern Aleppo.
Syrian government forces have recently made sweeping gains against Takfiri terrorists, who have increased their acts of violence across the Arab country following a series of defeats in Aleppo and elsewhere.
The Palmyra battle comes at a critical time when negotiations are underway between Syria's warring sides in the Swiss city of Geneva aimed at finding a solution to the foreign-sponsored crisis gripping the Arab country since 2011.
HNC 'sabotaging' Syria peace talks
Separately on Thursday, Russia accused the Riyadh-based High Negotiations Committee (HNC), Syria's main opposition group, of disrupting the Geneva talks.
"The results of the first days of the intra-Syrian dialogues, as before, raise questions over the ability of the Syrian opposition representatives to reach a deal," said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova.
HNC's refusal to cooperate on an equal footing with two Russian-backed opposition groups meant that it was "de facto sabotaging the full dialogue with both the Syrian government delegation and with other opposition groups," she added.

It's Rosali from ilovestamping again! I am here with my second post as WOW's guest designer for June! :-)
For today's post I really wanted to try out foiling because – believe it or not – I have never tried it out before! That needed to change asap, hah! WOW has a lot of gorgeous colors in their line of Fab Foil but since the design team is focusing on everything GOLD this month I thought I'd join them in doing so! Besides gold, I also added green and kraft to my color scheme – I have seen others use this combo and I thought it was lovely.
My technique to add foil to my cards today is based on WOW's Bonding Powder. It makes it possible to add foil to any stamped images – but without having to have a foiling machine or laminator. Here is how it works:
Bonding Powder is a powder that you use like embossing powder and it gets sticky when you heat it up! As my stamp image I used a leaf from MFT Stamps' "Sketchy Flowers" set. As usual, I used an antistatic powder tool first, then stamped the leaf with WOW's Clear Embossing Ink onto cardstock and put the Bonding Powder all over the stamped image:
Before heat-setting the image it's important to let your heat gun heat up for at least 30 seconds before you put it to the paper - especially with this kind of powder as you want to heat it a little longer than you would do with embossing powder. You want to melt it really good! Once the powder has turned from white to transparent and is melted you have to act rather fast. It's best to have your piece of foil out already so you can lay it over the melted image right away. You can then use your fingers to carefully press the foil down onto the powder. I have also used a bone folder but only from the backside of the paper. You can now already see the stamp image through the foil:
After letting the bonding powder cool down for another bit you can carefully remove the foil. You get this beautiful shiny image:
I repeated the process with gold foil and also with another leaf image. I did end up with some sprinkles of foil around my stamp images (probably because tiny bits of the bonding powder stuck down where I didn't initially wanted them to) but I didn't mind too much. I actually incorporated them into my design by adding more splatters with black watercolor paint to my foiled panels! :-D
To put my two cards together I die cut panels from white and kraft cardstock using MFT Stamps' "Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square" and "Wonky Stitched Rectangle" dies. For the sentiments I chose WOW's "Metalline Green" and "Pearl Gold Sparkle" embossing powders. To make the gold sentiment stand out on the black cardstock I used white pigment ink instead of clear ink for embossing. It's actually the first time I have tried that and I like how it turned out!
Here are my finished cards:
And look how amazing the foiled image looks reflecting the light from the side:
I hope you liked my cards and tutorials this month! I'd love for you to visit me on

We've been given the resources and opportunities to do great things, so we can at least do good things while we are PLANNING the greater things.
Yet, so many are distracted and complaining, even blaming and justifying why they can't do what is Right or good.
Having a Conscience is about knowing Right from wrong. About doing what is Right, not just for ourselves, but also others. This includes the way we are thinking of others. Even more so where there is a bond or connection between people, as this creates a direct link, a channel or pathway … which can too easily be mis-used.
There is a reason for 'thinking well' of ourselves and others. Our Thoughts are the carriers of the electromagnetic fields our emotions consist of. Our Thoughts direct this energy, pointing it at aspects of our self or others. So when we are blaming others or justifying to our self our behaviours and/or thinking processes, we are directing abuse, known as emotional abuse. Bullying. Equally 'hurtful' when directed at our self or others.
AND then we have the Natural Law/Lore of "Cause and Effect" … whatever we DO has consequences. Thinking is an ACTION. As is blaming and justifying.
Be AWARE of what your THINKING is CAUSING. Find out, ask questions, do research and Learn from your experience.

Once again, it's time for 'Operation Valour-IT' in which Soldiers' Angels works to raise money for laptops and other technology to assist the recovery of wounded soldiers. This blog has supported Valour-IT every year, and this year will do so with a much greater intensity…shocking, I know. We have once again joined Blackfive's Team Army, and encourage bloggers reading this to sign on and support the project as well, and each of you reading this site to donate whatever you can.
I'm in for $100 – who will come along with me?
I've heard Chuck Ziegenfuss speak about this, and seen how overcome with emotion he is when he tries to explain what it meant to him – wounded, with injured hands that kept him from dialing a phone or typing on a computer keyboard – when he got his voice-operated laptop. Here's the backstory:
Project Valour-IT began when Captain Charles "Chuck" Ziegenfuss was wounded by an IED while serving as commander of a tank company in Iraq in June 2005.
During his deployment he kept a blog (an online personal diary, opinion forum, or news analysis site-called a milblog or military weblog when written by a servicemember or about military subjects). Captivating writing, insightful stories of his experiences, and his self-deprecating humor won him many loyal readers. After he was wounded, his wife continued his blog, keeping his readers informed of his condition.
As he began to recover, CPT Ziegenfuss wanted to return to writing his blog, but serious hand injuries hampered his typing. When a loyal and generous reader gave him a copy of the Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred software, other readers began to realize how important such software could be to CPT Ziegenfuss' fellow wounded soldiers and started cast about for a way to get it to them.
A fellow blogger (blog author) who writes under the pseudonym FbL contacted Captain Ziegenfuss and the two realized they shared a vision of providing laptops with voice-controlled software to wounded soldiers whose injuries prevented them from operating a standard computer. FbL contacted Soldiers Angels, who offered to help develop the project, and Project Valour-IT was born.
In sharing their thoughts, CPT Ziegenfuss (now a Major) and FbL found that memories of their respective fathers were a motivating factor in their work with the project. Both continue their association with this project in memory of the great men in their lives whose fine examples taught them lasting lessons of courage and generosity.
In the years since its founding in 2005, the project has acted to meet emerging needs and its mission of supporting the severely wounded has expanded. In addition to voice-controlled laptops, Valour-IT now helps provide active and whole-body video games such as Wii Sports, which is used to great effect in physical therapy, and personal GPS systems that help compensate for short-term memory loss and organizational/spatial challenges common in those with brain injuries.

Wade and Alison McCrabbe from Raphoe, Donegal have notched up one of their most successful seasons to date with their award winning Ardstewart Beltex flock.
The National Beltex Sale held recently at Carlisle saw their entry of 10 shearling rams sell to a top price of 12,000 guineas and level at an average of £4862.
Their sale leader was "Ardstewart Angus" who is a son of Rathbone Tony ET, and out of a Broughton Pound Stretcher daughter. The duo also scooped the Supreme Championship out of an entry of almost 1500 sheep, with another son of Tony.
Just two weeks later the McCrabbes travelled back across the Irish sea to Carlisle with a team of gimmers for the Beltex Beauties sale which saw a select entry from a handful of breeders attract tremendous returns.
Top of their pen was the 7000 guineas Ardstewart Attractive Lady ET, who traces back to the highly successful Ardstewart Swagger Jagger. This outstanding gimmer is a full sister to the 12,000 ram Ardstewart Angus.
Two further lots from the same team were snapped up at 6000 guineas each. All of these were sired by Rathbone Tony ET.
The McCrabbes are familiar faces throughout Ireland after they starred in the hit TV series Rare Breed - A Farming Year. In addition to breeding pedigree Beltex they also are pioneers of the Rubex breed of sheep, and run a herd of Hereford cattle.

For my last supper (dramatic much?) before college, I requested Cesar Salad and Eggplant Lasagna. We made it last night (so that I could eat it two days in a row!) and it was the best lasagna I have ever had.
{I didn't even think to take a picture of the salad because I was so focused on lasagna.}
{And that my friends, is why I never could or never would go vegan…cheese.}
{I lit candles in attempt to recreate the relaxation room and because I'm cheesy like that.}
If you are looking for a great recipe for lasagna, this is most definitely it.
I had two huge slices and would have had more if I hadn't known what we were having for dessert…
A half off yogurt coupon means we must go. I am sure going to miss being five minutes from eight frozen yogurt shops!
Well, tomorrow is the day so can't promise that posting will be very consistent at first, so please have patience. Can't wait to share my college experiences with you!
What would you request as your last supper if you were going to
get the freshmen fifteen spend the next four years eating cafeteria food?

"Sajid Khan wants to keep the trend of releasing the Houseful franchise in the month of April every two years", said a source close to the project.
"If Sajid Wajid started working on the "Judwaa 2″ project, then it would delay "Houseful 3″. Since "Houseful 3 requires a huge star cast with dates to mange, Sajid decided to quit "Judwaa 2″. Presently Sajid is working on Himmatwala and plans to release it next year. After that, if he would have done "Judwaa 2″ , the wait would have been prolonged for "Houseful 3″. However, now after "Himmatwala", he can solely concentrate on "Houseful 3″, added sources.
The changes will cause "Houseful 3″ to clash with IPL. "In a way IPL is beneficial instead of being jinxed for the Houseful series. This has been proven in the first two films and now yet again both Sajids wants to take IPL heads ons, " sources reveal.

Caroline Edwards
- Programme: Human Resources Strategy for Transforming Organisations
- Nationality: British
- Job Post-programme: HR Director, UK and Ireland, Carphone Warehouse
Professional background
Caroline Edwards completed London Business School's Human Resources Strategy for Transforming Organisations programme in November 2012. She is a passionate and successful HR leader, who is driving wider economic prosperity, through drawing on her HRST experiences to make change at an organisational level.
Retaining Competitive Advantage
Like many other businesses, my company has been, and still is, trying to navigate through a very difficult economic climate. We have made some significant organisation structure changes to support our growth strategy over the last 18 months. These two things, plus the fact that technology continues to progress at speed, means that in this climate we need to be agile and able to change fast to remain competitive.
Forward Thinking
Studying on HRST was a chance for me to think through the questions that all this change has posed. Tasked with setting the HR strategy to take Carphone Warehouse through the next two years, one of the things that really stood out for me was the emerging trends for the future, surrounding demography and the style and approach of leadership required. We pride ourselves as a 'people business' and, with a better understanding of our own demography, I've applied my learning from HRST to create HR practices and processes to manage the changing trends of our workforce. This ensures we will attract and retain talent for the future.
Greater Impact
HRST has also lit the touch paper to make a difference in the wider business environment. Lynda Gratton's 'five trends' have helped me think more broadly about my HR strategy. I'm much less internally focused now and better able to think about external factors that impinge on our strategy. This allows me to contribute at board level in a more strategic and holistic way.
As part of this outward-facing perspective, I've also made a commitment to help reduce UK unemployment levels. I believe we are in a strong position to impact this problem, so with the buy-in of our CEO I've been investigating a number of different options. Directly sharing our workforce planning with a scheme like the Government Work Programme (which assists the long-term unemployed) is one route we will be exploring as part of our resourcing strategy in 2013.
Crystallised Aspirations
Stepping away from the company to focus on thought leadership and share best practice across industries has been hugely beneficial. It has also crystallised my personal aspirations. The programme emphasises the need to build skills and capabilities that differentiate you in the future marketplace. It also highlights the big change in social media. Going forward, I intend to develop my expertise in change management, be focused on getting and staying connected in this digital world and maintain meaningful networks.

Photo booth applications are software programs that turn your ordinary webcam into a photo editing tool. You look into your webcam, pose and snap a photo. After that, you can use photo booth effects to alter the picture in any number of interesting ways.
Looking for a Photo Booth-like program, but don't own an Apple computer? Alternately, do you have a Mac, but are just looking for options other than Photo Booth? Access Cameriod, Seenly and Snap, which are free programs on the web to create images with your webcam similar to those created in Photo Booth. Whereas these programs take fun pictures and add cool effects, they do not record video or snap multiple pictures at once like Photo Booth.
The Photo Booth program for Mac mimics the photo capturing capabilities of a camera and allows Mac computer users to have fun with the built-in iSight camera on their device. Photo Booth can be used to edit and capture images and video. Photo Booth works in tandem with other Mac software such as iPhoto, and according to the Mac website, iPhoto can be used to edit and organize the photos taken using Photo Booth.
Disable Flash
If you're interested in disabling the white flash when you're taking a picture, MacTricksandTips.com says all you have to do is press the "Shift" button on your keyboard when you click the red snapshot button to take a picture in Photo Booth.
Disable Countdown
Photo Booth has a default countdown feature that allows you to get into position before you take the photo. If you'd like to disable the countdown feature, according to MacTricksandTips.com you'll need to hold down the "Options" button when you press the snapshot button to take the picture.
Navigating the Photo Viewer
If you've taken a lot of pictures, going through all of them in search for one photo can be tedious. If you want to fast track to the beginning or the end of your collections in the Photo Booth photo viewer, MacYourself.com suggests that you press the "Command" button while pressing the arrow key associated with whichever direction you'd like to end up.
Cancel the Snapshot
If you've already initiated the countdown but have decided not to take the photograph, you may cancel the countdown and the snapshot by pressing the "Escape" button on your keyboard, according to MacYourself.com.
Flip Your Photograph
Photo Booth captures photos like a mirror image, where left is right and right is left. MacYourself.com suggests that you go to the menu bar and select "Edit" > "Auto Flip New Photos" if you'd like to change this function to left is left and right is right. You can also edit previously taken photographs by selecting them in the photo viewer and going to "Edit" > "Flip Photo," according to MacYourself.com.
4-Up Snapshots
If you'd like to take multiple snapshots one right after the other, Photo Booth has a feature which Apple calls "4-up mode" that allows you to take four snapshots sequentially. To activate the 4-up mode you will need to press the button on the left underneath the live video with the image that looks like four boxes.
Adding Effects
Photo Booth has a host of different image effects preloaded in the program, and some are available for download online. You can add a green screen like effect that inputs a different photo or video as your background image, or use the twirl effect to distort the picture, along with many other effects. To find additional Photo Booth effects you can use a search engine to locate different effect packs that have been developed; some may require purchase, while others are free. To add image effects to an image you will need to select the "Effects" button located on the right side under the live video before you take the photo.
Export a Snapshot
If you'd like to use a snapshot you've taken in Photo Booth, Apple Inc. suggests that you export the file by going to the menu bar and selecting "File" > "Export" and saving the file in the desired format and location.
Web browsers were very basic when they first came out in the early 1990s. They could check mail and connect to the World Wide Web with very basic hypertext markup language (HTML). It was a plain and slow experience. Netscape was the first to gain wide popularity; its browser was free and provided instant Internet access. Microsoft brought its innovative Internet Explorer onto the scene in the late 1990s with improved design, speed and security. Since then, competition has ramped up significantly, with new features such as private browsing, most-visited websites and customization.
Internet Explorer
Since 1999, Windows Internet Explorer has been the most widely used Web browser because it is already integrated with Microsoft Windows operating systems. The most recent version of Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer 9) was introduced in March 2011. Microsoft claims Internet Explorer 9 installs items quicker. It also displays high-definition graphics.
The new browser design is simplified. The back button is larger to make it easier to return to previously visited websites and the address bar and search box are combined to make navigation easy. There is a tab page that allows you to keep track of favorite websites. Internet Explorer 9 also features tracking protection that helps you pick which third-party sites can receive your information.
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is the second most widely used Web browser. Since its development in 2004, it has gone through four different versions, the most recent was released in March 2011.
It has several unique features, including an app tab to keep sites that are frequently visited open at all times. It employs tabs on top of the pages, which makes it easier to navigate the sites that are visited, and the user has the ability to switch between tabs easily.
Firefox includes instant Web ID for validation of a website, and there is an add-ons manager that allows you to attach additional features without having to close Firefox. The browser has a password manager that can remember any passwords that a user wishes to save, and the bookmark button is useful for saving favorite websites.
Google Chrome
Google Chrome is one of the newer browsers in the market as of 2011. It was released in September 2008 and is the third most-used browser.
Similar to Firefox, a browser can be personalized with Google Chrome. The browser is easy to use with a combined search and address bar. Tabbing allows the user to have multiple windows open in one browser. Google Chrome is designed with quick navigation in mind.
Safari is the free browser created in 2003 by Apple Inc. It is compatible with Mac operating systems and Microsoft Windows.
It is sleek in design with a silver interface. As do all other browsers, Safari keeps track of all your favorite websites. It uses the top site icon that is on top of the browser. It allows you to actually see the website instead of just a website name. Safari also makes it easier to flip through pages that are already bookmarked.
Safari can also be used on the iPhone, iPod and iPad.
Telenor, a Norwegian telecommunications company, first introduced the Opera browser in 1996. Opera has safe, secure Web browsing and speeds that compete with all its competitors. Opera provides its users with chat, blogging and file-sharing.
One of the reasons that Apple shines above the rest in reputation, if not total sales, is innovation. Jonathan Ive, CBE for Apple Inc. tells "Bloomberg Businessweek" that as a company, Apple's philosophy isn't to make money, but to design and develop good products. With this mindset Apple has brought to market innovative products such as the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad, each of which has enjoyed cult-like reception from Apple fans -- 91,000 iPads were sold in the first six hours of their availability in 2010, reports "Business Insider."
Fan Base
Apple products are great -- just ask their owners. The fan base that Apple enjoys does a large percentage of marketing for them. In fact, in 2006 Apple was ranked with Google and Symantec as the three computing companies with the most loyal fan base by Satmetrix Systems. Apple fans blog, tweet and post statuses about their gadgets, which helps inspire a viral-like reaction to the latest Apple products without Apple spending a dime in marketing budget.
Your Apple product probably doesn't look much like comparable products, and chances are it has a slight learning curve before you're comfortable using it on a daily basis. Apple creates products that are clearly different from other available products for various reasons. The signature look and feel of Apple products, combined with the familiar Apple logo helps to create instant product recognition. Apple consciously works to set itself apart from other computer companies, creating an "us vs. them" mentality when being compared to any other PC manufacturer. The result is a feeling of exclusivity that is exciting to an Apple user.
Steve Jobs, the president and face of Apple is an excellent showman. The now-famous Apple press conferences to introduce new products attract worldwide attention. Apple is the master at hinting at innovation to pique mass interest, resulting in an unveiling with circus-like flair. The hype for products means long lines at the Apple Store when a product is finally released, despite the fact that few have actually tested the product.

Coupled solute mass transport and evaporation in saline soil
The presence of salts is detrimental to plant growth in soils and also impedes consolidation in disposed mine tailings. The current study conducted small-scale column drying tests on "clean" soil prepared to homogenous initial pore-water concentrations using a model wax column technique. This study characterized the coupling of 1D solute mass transport in unsaturated soils to surface evaporation. Rapid salt accumulation in the top 1 cm of treated soil was observed. This coincided with the profile gravimetric water content for treated soil being higher compared to control soil. However, throughout the experiment, the relative evaporation for treated soil was only a fraction of values for control soil. This is attributed to the surface salt crust acting as a capillary barrier to the upward flux of water through soil to the atmosphere. This study demonstrates the significance of salt crust formation in redicting evaporation from saline soils and mine tailings disposal facilities.
