Photos: See additional photos of Pine Needles
Accolades: Ranked 47th on Golf Digest's 2013-14 Top 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses in America and 17th in the state of North Carolina.
Signature Hole: 3rd - 145 Yard Par 3 - Easily the most famed hole at Pine Needles, this postcard par three plays over water to a green encircled by a trio of bunkers. The back to front sloping green gives a clear view of the putting surface and the large trees provide an attractive backdrop.
What to Expect: No course has hosted the Womens U.S. Open in the last 15 years more times than Donald Ross classic Pine Needles (1996, 2001, and 2007). Built in 1928, Donald Ross provided generous fairways and challenging green sites. There are strong elevation changes throughout the course yet is very walkable. The course has been lengthened from its original routing but still provides an intimate routing with short distances between tees and greens. Wayward shots will likely find a bed of pine sneedles to rest on; much like the backyards of virtually every home on found on the course. Like most Ross courses, the greatness of Pine Needles is in the subtleties of the course as it lies across the natural terrain rather than trying to dominate it. Pine Needles is yet another pleasant Ross routing that can be played over and over without and gimmicks to get weary of.
By the Numbers:
|Forward (Women)
Individual Hole Analysis
Best Par 3: 5th - 218 Yards - From the highest point on the front nine, players are faced with a lengthy par three protected by bunkers and a false front. A high fade is the ideal shot into the putting surface that angles away from front left to back right.
Best Par 4: 17th - 461 Yards - A big hole the doglegs left around the trees on the inside of the corner. Hitting a tee ball straight or right may end up in the trees, though staying on the right side of the fairway will setup the best angle on the downhill approach shot. This is a shot makers hole that rewards ball control as much as any hole on the course.
Best Par 5: 1st - 504 Yards - The opening hole provides a good birdie opportunity and an early smile on your face. The hole doglegs right with bunkers protecting the inside of the turn. Avoiding the sand will give players the chance to reach the green in two with the domed putting surface being the biggest challenge.
Birdie Time: 3rd - 145 Yard Par 3 - At just 145 yards from the tips, this short par three will put a scoring club in your hand with the chance to go pinseeking. The sloping green puts a premium on keeping the ball below the hole so that you can be aggressive on your putt. It is the course's most attractive hole and a great chance to start out with an early birdie.
Bogey Beware: 2nd - 481 Yard Par 4 - Long and straight, this par four demands length and accuracy from tee to green. The fairway is elevated just enough to block the player's view of the green from the tee and a pair of fairway bunkers on the right will encourage players to favor the left side. The approach plays downhill to a large green protected by a large bunker on the left and sloping terrain in front.
Final Cut: For a course that is a perennial on the Top 100 public lists, I was underwhelmed at Pine Needles. It is a pleasant enough course but lacks the pizzazz or impressive design elements I would expect from such a highly touted course. There are some subtleties to be enjoyed and a peaceful setting, but there are too many forgettable holes to make the course elite or worth the prime season green fee. Grade C+

'Bringing down the house' is the only accurate way to describe a Joe Cocker performance — the growling vocals, hypnotic jerks, and frenetic gesticulations made Cocker a true rock showman. You knew Joe Cocker when you saw him. You knew Joe Cocker when you heard him.
When Joe Cocker first covered The Beatles "With a Little Help From My Friends" on his 1969 debut LP, he turned the track on its head, dipped it in his patented spastic kerosene, and set it on fire with one long, extended rasp. His ability to mix English Rock with American Soul made him a worldwide sensation. In 1975, his version of "You Are So Beautiful" became an unexpected hit and showed off his tender side. His iconic voice is one of the most easily recognizable in pop music.
Today we mourn the passing of Joe Cocker at age 70 after a long battle with lung cancer. He'll leave an indelible mark on the world of blues and rock and no doubt an even stronger one on his fans (like me) who were enlivened by the heartfelt, awe-inspiring vocal performances only he could deliver.
I'll mourn the gritty legend the only way I know how — by listening and listening. Here's five of Cocker's most masterful live performances.

ONE of the men who was inside the car when Anthony Grainger was shot dead in Culcheth has denied the group were planning an armed robbery.
David Totton, who had known Mr Grainger since they were both 10 years old, was giving evidence during an inquiry at Liverpool Crown Court into the circumstances surrounding the 36-year-old's death.
Mr Grainger, from Bolton, was shot by a Greater Manchester Police firearms officer – known as Q9 – in a pre-planned operation on March 3, 2012.
Prior to the shooting, Mr Totton had visited the car park in Culcheth just days earlier on February 29 and March 1.
When questioned on why he had visited the area, Mr Totton said they were looking for someone who owed a 'couple of grand' to Mr Grainger over a car.
Mr Totton also revealed he knew that the cars he had been travelling in were stolen so he would carry a balaclava and gloves.
He told the inquest: "If we were going to be chased, or anything like that, I would use my balaclava so I wouldn't be recognised."
Mr Totton was also asked questions on the moments leading up to Mr Grainger's death - in particular when an unmarked police car pulled into the car park blocking them in.
He said: "I have heard a bang, a loud bang.
"And I remember feeling glass. Those were shards of glass hitting my face.
"At that time I didn't know what it was but I thought it could have been a bullet.
"I thought it was the shot of a gun. I realised the car is not going anywhere.
"We were blocked in. I go to get out of the car.
"I got out of the car and straight away hear a lot of shouting and screaming."
When asked if he heard anything from outside the car, he replied 'not at that time, no'.
He told the inquiry he was 'clearly not' planning to carry out an armed robbery at the time as 'you'd have to be armed to commit an armed robbery'.
Joseph Travers, who was also in the stolen Audi, had not turned up to the inquiry despite being ordered to do so.
The inquiry continues.

Nutrition, Sanity and Immune System
Beneficial Microorganisms and Cofactors Soil Improver.
AliBio BPG-Plus is a mix of microencapsulated beneficial microorganisms, cofactors and spores. The microorganisms are isolated and propagated by natural means, without the intervention of genetic engineering. That's why AliBio BPG-Plus represents an alternative to transgenics or GMO's. The active elements of the AliBio BPG-Plus are microorganisms that are carefully selected and represent a synergic mix of complementary metabolic capacities that provide the reactivation of the biochemical soil cycles, and have a beneficial effect in the plant.
AliBio BPG-Plus' microorganisms promote plant growth and can act direct and indirectly. The indirect growth promotion occurs when this microorganisms decrease or prevent some of the harmful effects of the pathogen microorganisms through antibiotic synthesis or other inhibitor compounds. AliBio BPG-Plus' microorganisms interact among each other and with other soil microorganisms, preying and competing for space and food. This way they control the growth if pathogen populations, most of them, fungi and bacteria, that other way they would act freely due to the absence of their natural predators. This network propitiates the restore of the soil's biological balance.
Direct growth stimulation consists in the AliBio BPG-Plus' microorganisms provide the plant with self-synthesized compounds, like enzymes, hormones and organic acids that regulate growth and stimulate the immune system. Also, they solubilize the soil minerals to facilitate the assimilation of plant nutrients.
AliBio BPG-Plus' microorganisms are essential for organic matter unfold, protein hydrolysis, and the soil depuration of chlorides, nitrates and sulfates, unfolding and transforming them into small molecules that are easily assimilated by the roots.
AliBio BPG-Plus contains a large free aminoacid variety that give fast explotation nitrogen, helping the plant's metabolism and energy saving that is canalized to other functions like flower blooming and fruit setting. This aminoacids seize the stationary metallic ions like iron and carry them to the plant for assimilation. This process is known as chelation.
AliBio BPG-Plus has an OMRI certification in the category of "Crop Fertilizers & Soil Amendments".
- Increase in the plant's photosynthetic capacity, thus, plant's biomass production.
- Soil mineral solubilization that facilitates for root absorption.
- Siderophore synthesis and secretionthat solubilize and seize soil's iron to carry it to the plant's cells.
- Several hormone synthesis like auxin, cytokinins and gibberllin. That regulate plant's physiological processes, like growth, sprouting, blossoming and fruit setting.
- Growth stimulation of the main root, lateral roots and radicular hair.
- Improves the ionic and cationic exchange capacities, releasing stationary soil nutrients loike K+, Mg++, Ca++ that are essential for the plant's metabolic development.
- Essential nutrient fixation like N and P.
- Constant enzyme supply for microorganism action.
- Arbitration of plant's answers to stress factors like drought, soil acidification and sanity.
- Resistance to abrupt climate changes.
- Antibiotic synthesis and other compounds with inhibitory effect on pathogen microorganisms.
- Compound synthesis like lipopeptide, fengycin, surfactin and iturins, with antagonistic activities against vegetal pathogens.
- Stimulate the plant's response system, to activate defense systems againstseveral infection caused by fungi, bacteria, virus and nematodes.
- Progressive elimination of fungicides and chemical bactericides that harm the enviroment.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Greetings. I'm fairly new to creating guides, though I'll learn my way one step at a time. I've only played a handful of Irelia games, and might I say she's a wonderful champion. Quite easy to learn as well with her basic kit and has the potential to become so much more. She's under picked in lower elos, though becoming a bit more common in higher elo due to great Irelia players trying to bring her back despite most of her nerfs. With that being said, let's dive in.
These are just reasons why I've selected the runes for Irelia.
Generally when playing as Irelia,is a must.
Pros / Cons
[*] She's pretty tanky.
[*] She's able to snowball.
[*] She has amazing tenacity.
[*] She is able to deal true damage.
[*] She's very versatile in teamfights.
[*] She gains huge power spike after acquiring
[*] She's heavily reliant on mana early game.
[*] She's heavily reliant on items.
[*] She gets harassed and poked easily.
[*] Walking up to people is the majority way to trade.

"It's been very difficult to be a single parent, but I'm so proud of how both of my kids turned out. Right now, I'm a caretaker to three people. My daughter, Sandy, is 25 and has down syndrome and congenital heart disease. My mother has dementia and my father is wheel-chair bound. Every day is a challenge for me to make sure everyone's needs are being met. At times I think I may lose it.
When I took my first Zumba class, I fell in love with it. I felt like all my challenges were gone for that one hour. It felt like medicine to me. Having this amazing feeling, I decided to become an Instructor and pass along my happiness. I now teach 6 classes and am loving that I get to touch people's lives every day.
I'm also filled with pride to say that the Zumba program has changed Sandy's life. As of December 2015, she is a licensed Zumba Instructor. It's so wonderful to have her dance by my side and watch as all the students applaud her. Having this one hour a day in our lives has helped us both tremendously. Sandy is working on a class to teach special needs students, and I can't wait to proudly stand by her side as she does so."
-Linda Morton, licensed Zumba® Instructor since 2013; feels like she can conquer life's challenges through the freedom of dance

Only Jonathan Lethem could turn an homage to the classic noir style into a wildly inventive exploration of language, loyalty, and the principles of Zen Buddhism. Lethem's fascination with noir played a major role in his debut novel, Gun, with Occasional Music. In Motherless Brooklyn, the reader is treated to a gritty interpretation of noir filtered through an unforgettable narrator—Lionel Essrog. As always, Lethem's writing is superb, and the construction of Lionel's narrative voice is a rare accomplishment.
Lionel Essrog is an inexperienced detective who has a complicated relationship with language. Lionel is always looking for an antidote – some sensation or substance that will temporarily quell the feral language percolating in his brain. White Castle hamburgers can have therapeutic properties, and fear will work in a pinch. But Lionel's mind always reverts back to an intricate arrangement of associative tics, repetition, and wordplay.
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is a short story about Gregor Samsa, a salesman who wakes up one day to find himself turned into a large insect. It is a grim tale of social alienation that is frequently considered one of the most depressing short stories ever written. How could any writer possibly expand such a profoundly melancholy text into a novel-length adaptation? Quirk Classics, the specialty publisher behind such "revised" versions of classic texts as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Android Karenina, has attempted this with The Meowmorphosis, an adaptation of "The Metamorphosis" that has Gregor turning into a human-sized kitten rather than a bug. Although perhaps still too grim for some tastes, The Meowmorphosis does provide an interesting take on social alienation and a clever satire on Kafka's writing technique.
What Lyra enjoyed most was scrambling across the rooftops of Oxford, committed to the serious fun of war that raged amongst the children of all the colleges and the townies in between. There were pummelings with armfuls of rock-hard plums, mud fights, and even the occasional kidnapping. Yet for all of her wild behavior, Lyra was not an ordinary child. She was a lonely, genius child with aristocratic blood in her veins, and every so often some unfortunate young Scholar would be dispatched by the Master of the College to round her up for a hot bath and tedious lessons at the start of The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman.

Jan Brett's Mossy is a special turtle because she has a gorgeous garden growing right on her shell. The moss that grows on her carapace is a perfect spot for wildflowers and ferns to take root. When Dr. Carolina sees the magnificent turtle strolling around Lilypad Pond, she takes Mossy back to her museum. Dr. Carolina believes that because Mossy doesn't need to worry about finding food, staying warm, or escaping from danger, she will be happy. But Dr. Carolina doesn't know that Mossy just met someone special—another turtle friend named Scoot—and that Mossy dreams of being back at home with her friend.
The entire town knew that the Vicario twins were planning on murdering Santiago Nasar, and nobody stopped the brutal murder. Determined to understand how a man liked by the town and his murderers could be killed without anyone stopping it, the narrator sets out 27 years after the event to talk to the townspeople and reconstruct what happened that fateful day in Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez's Chronicle of a Death Foretold.

So Long, Fatty 2010...Welcome Slimmer 2011!!!
What will 2011 bring? Well, for one I hope it brings even more laughter with people that I love. I'm making 2011 The Year of Slimming. That would be not only a slimmer waistline but a slimmer life in general. I'm challenging myself big time and cutting out the extras that I love way too much. We're talking sparkly things, spur of the moment "wants," sodas, sweets, rich and fattening foods, my beloved wine... (say it isn't so!!!!) I think that by slimming I'll have more time, money, smiles and better health. If I fail, I'm not going to beat myself up over it.
Writing-wise, I'll keep honing my skill and send out at least 10 short stories, send out my novel to at least 5 agents, and write two novels. Hmm...10-5-2...maybe I'll play those numbers in a lottery and see what happens. Wish me luck!

Are You My Mummy?
Horrorology might be out soon and I just sent back revisions to the new editor of Baconology. My story is still in this meaty anthology and it looks like things are moving along.
I've been working on getting a solid goal list for 2011 in terms of writing and I'm shooting for the stars next year. And why not? Life is too short to worry and be afraid to try new things.
Friday, November 26, 2010
Excuse Me While I Nerd Out a Bit...
Ahem, sorry about that. So other writing endeavors are looking good as well: I received the edits for my story for Horrorology and The Scroll of Anubis might be available soon. *fingers crossed*
Now to get back to crafting a respectable query letter. Hope you have a good Thanksgiving.

Best Laid Plans...Blah Blah Blah
This weekend I've been making ornaments and various polymer clay sculptures. Here is one such sculpture:
The goal is to make more little snowmen and other goodies to sell them along with my jewelry. We'll see how it goes. Even if they don't sell, they were a nice distraction. I needed a little break from the pressure of writing.
So, when December rolls around I'll get back in the writing habit again and perhaps (fingers crossed) The Scroll of Anubis will be out.

Wrapping Up November
Anywho, my story for Cafe Doom's contest wasn't as much of a bust as I feared it would be. I actually got a 3rd place and a 2nd place vote and a few honorable mentions. It warms the heart and makes you want to keep plugging along. Who knows? After some revisions I might even send it out someday...
NaNo is sooo not going well for me. I think I chose too depressing of a novel idea and it makes me dread writing it. Not good. Not good at all. I'll finish it though, in bits and chunks over the next few months I think. At least I've started.
Tomorrow I ask one of my beta readers if they're finished with my novel. They've had it a while and I really want to get back into that project. *fingers crossed that they're done*

A Rainy, Spooky Day
I'm nearly finished with my story "Death From Above" and I'm thinking of submitting it to Cafe Doom's big contest. I'm just hoping that my dark comedy is dark enough for the judges. Only one way to find out...
Yeah, still hearing them. This might just make its way into a story I thought of last night. Or not.

Irons in Fires and Vultures
This means, of course, that I have to knock out several short story ideas and make a boatload of jewelry all before November 1st. I may need to clone myself.
I'm nearly done with "Death From Above," which is a lovely tale of 3 friends (who happen to be vultures) and their quest to finally eat human flesh. Yes, it is a feel-good kind of story. Once I have it complete and error-free, I shall screw up the courage to submit it to a contest. Scary!
In other scary news, I have a doctor appointment tomorrow for a full physical. It is scary because I've been having recurring dreams that the tumors I had removed returned and weren't benign. I'm sure it is just nerves, but it is scary nonetheless.
And now in happy news, we have just over 10 days until Halloween!

Hell, Vampires and Ghosts
I've learned that "Dracula Meets the Packrats" will appear in the forthcoming Groanology 2: Monsters, Madness, and Mayhem from Library of Horror. I can't wait for Drac's stories to see the light of day.
The Library of Horror has another anthology that I'm subbing for, this one has ghosts in it. If anything on this planet (besides serial killers, sharks, the Bermuda Triangle or spiders) can terrify me, ghosts do it. I'm not sure why, but even hearing "true" haunting tales at night can keep me awake for hours and make me not want to go to the basement alone. True story.

This Bites
In other news, I'm nearly done with a silly tale of three vultures that hatch a scheme to kill people. Just hope I can find a market for it...
Monday, September 20, 2010
Howdy, stranger...
I just submitted a silly tale called "Dracula Meets the Packrats" and this is a continuation of "Dracula Meets the Clutter Crew" which will appear in Groanology: Amusing Monster Mash-ups. I hate that post-submission queasiness but I think if I work my butt off writing something else, it'll take my mind off of the nerves.
It's Halloween in my house for sure: the living room is decked out in orange and black and I'm busy making more scary houses. I've even made a sweet little Swarovski crystal spider and am plotting a way to make a bracelet out of it. Pictures to follow...
The Ghoultide Gathering is just around the corner and I can't wait to see some incredible Halloween art and get my hands on some gorgeous cookies. Woohoo!

September on the Horizon
Writing has been a bust lately. I think I've let events in another aspect of my life stifle my creativity and that just stinks. Gotta stand up, shake off the negative, and let the weird out again. I invite you to do the same.

Just Eat a Cupcake
The Zombist is available for purchase so if you've got a hankering for cowboys and Indians and zombies, (who DOESN'T?) check it out! My little tale is the 2nd one, right behind Eric S. Brown. If you know zombies, you know who he is.
Now that work is back to normal hours, I've had time to finish books I've started and am so happy! Empire by David Dunwoody is incredible and left me wanting more...I'm lucky, there is a sequel on the horizon. Yay! I'm also nearly finished with The Apocalypse and Satan's Glory Hole and the darn book is like some itch-inducing drug and I can't seem to put it down, no matter how dirty it makes me feel...
Not much full-on writing going on but I've written a poem for a bad poetry contest. I think it's bad. I hope it is bad enough.

Writing Is Tough But Trying To Get Your Name Out Is Tougher
Anywho, I still keep struggling with what background I want for my (eventual) web page and I think I had a breakthrough last night. With any luck, I'll get the artwork done this Friday. Or if I'm ambitious, perhaps tomorrow before my follow-up doctor appointment.
The Writer's Block has me in its grip right now and I'm feeling a little morose. I do have ideas for stories, but no writing to show for it. Not a fan of The Block.

Number Three!
Here's another thing that made me giddy today. Gotta get into the Halloween spirit somehow!!

Crafty Crafty
I should be getting "The G.O.R.E. Score, Volume I" by Tony Schaab too. Yes, another book. I can't help it. I will be putting the brakes on book-buying soon so I can sink my funds into other things like...oh...I don't know...flooring. We've been putting it off and putting it off but it needs to get done. Ah, the joys of homeownership.

Hopefully...I'll finish all of these and then get to Bigfoot War by Eric S. Brown.

Hello Monday
Because I haven't been writing after work everyday since June, the battery on my Mini is totally dead and to get a replacement won't be cheap. So, I'll have to work with it plugged in all the time until I have the extra cash to get a new (perhaps even better) battery.
I've been battling with work stress and my GERD for about a week now and early this morning I had the joy of gagging on stomach acid in my sleep. Nothing like fearing choking in your sleep to keep you awake the rest of the night. So...after dinner tonight I'm going to relax and then perhaps go to sleep early. Here's hoping for an acid-free night.

Keeping My Cool
My story "Tipping the Odds" will appear in the serial killer anthology called The Snuff Syndicate that will be released by Library of Horror. I'm very honored to be included in this book and it looks like it will be something special. :)
While working on an idea for the second Groanology, I had a vision of something grand and unique to the zombie world and am working like mad to finish it. I don't want to divulge too much yet until I've run it by a few people to see if it is even a possibility. Cross your fingers...
Rumor has it that our AC might be fixed tomorrow. I won't place any bets on it, but one can hope.

I love 7gypsies!!!
Another Hottie
I sent off my contract for Groanology and am almost done with my rewrites. Progress is a good thing!
Tomorrow I have a cervical (neck) epidural and I'm even more nervous than I was about the EMG. I keep telling myself that it will make me feel better but it is pretty scary. At least I get a day at the salon Saturday and I'm going to make sad puppy dog eyes to get a treat from Cold Stone...

Hot Today...Chili Tomorrow?
I'm working on rewrites for the No More Heroes anthology and hope to have them done either today or tomorrow. I'm really anxious to see how my little tale gets interwoven with all the other authors' stories to create an entire universe. That's just so magical to me.

My Shocking Morning
When it was over I was kinda sad that I didn't get a prize for not crying but I almost passed out so I guess that negates any prize. I did get breakfast and a double chocolate fudge brownie and two homemade caramels and later that night I got a caramel cashew sundae from Culver's so that was my reward.
In the end, I'm glad I had the test done and am hopeful I won't have to have neck surgery.

A Nervous Kind of Day
Tomorrow is the big EMG day. I'm not sure whether I'll have a needle jabbed into my neck, spine, or hand, but in any case I'm VERY nervous about it. At least I get some ice cream afterwards. That should keep me going. I hope...

Countdown to the Big Shock
I'm working on my final edits before I send my story "Being Neighborly" off to the publisher. I think after so many submissions, I'm getting used to the sick worry feeling. Either that or the Tramadol is easing more than just my pain...
I went on a fantastic canoe trip yesterday and there is one part of the river where these huge ancient trees expose their twisted and gnarled network of roots and you can almost imagine some horrific monster lurking inside, watching you as you float by...I got lots of ideas from this trip. Hopefully I can make them into something that is readable and enjoyable as well...cross your fingers!
Speaking of a full day in the sun...I highly endorse Neutrogena Spectrum Advanced SPF 100+ sunblock. I was out from 9:00am to about 2:30pm and did not burn at all. The sunblock isn't greasy and absorbs very well and smells nice. I've still got slight hives from being out in the sun, but at least I didn't burn to a crisp and the hives aren't as bad as they normally are. Hooray for pale people being able to enjoy the sun!!!!

Dracula Comes Clean!
All in all, today is shaping up to be a good day and an even better extended weekend. Hooray for time to relax, time to spend with friends and family, time to laugh, and (with any hope) time to welcome a new soul into the world. *fingers crossed for a speedy, safe, and relatively painless delivery for L and B*

The "I Hate Flutes" Post
In brighter news, I finished my submission for the "Hell Hath No Fury" anthology May December Publications is putting out. I'm letting it sit before I give it one final read through and then I'll send it along. Wish me luck...
I haven't heard anything from the reader of my novel and I'm worrying, because that's what I do. It is going to be a long, long summer.

My Summer Reading List
Faith and the Undead by Benjamin Rogers (and I'm in the fan club too!)
Dead the Ugly Beginning by T.W. Brown
Bigfoot War by Eric S. Brown
The Blooming by Tonia Brown
(there's an awful lot of authors out there that have the same last name...what's the deal with that?)
Empire by Dave Dunwoody
I still have to finish World War Z by Max Brooks (I love this book, by the way, and it has taken me longer to finish it than I care to admit...there's just so much to do that it gets pushed to the side)
Hopefully soon I'll have my contributor's copy of Through the Eyes of the Undead to add to the pile. And then there's about 10 other books about forensic anthropology, osteology, and history that are collecting dust.

My Own Glimmer of Hope
I haven't written anything for such a long time, I feel almost like I want to explode to get all the words and ideas and monsters out of my head. With any luck, by the end of the week I can get a short story finished. Cross your fingers...

Sleepless Nights and Waiting
I had two stories slated to be in an anthology but it is being killed so they're homeless for the moment. I'm not too broken up about it and there's hope that they might rear their ugly heads on a podcast. *crosses fingers that it happens*
Five days until they close the "No More Heroes" anthology and 20 until they close "Groanology" so I'm waiting for that too....oh how I hate the waiting!

My Last Nerve
In surreal news, a friend of mine bought Letters From the Dead and is mailing it to me so I can autograph it. It amazes me that anyone would want my autograph, but I'm flattered beyond belief.
And finally in sparkly news, I just got my first two orders for my "Glimmer of Hope" bracelets for our Race for the Cure team and for Ovarian Cancer. They are $15 and $10 of it go straight to the charity. I'll post pictures of the bracelets soon.

Quick Update
It has been a rather bad week for me, writing-wise. My shoulder/neck/arm trouble seems to have gotten worse and the physical therapy is painful and just saps my strength. I'm hoping a weekend of rest will give me that much needed spark again. Here's hoping...

This Is Life, There Are No Plans
So Tuesday I made a list of all the things I needed to do this week but when I got home, I got some pretty devastating news about a loved one's passing. It knocked me on my butt. I just kinda sat for a while, dazed. Nothing on the list got done.
This is actually the first thing I've even written so those short stories I wanted to submit this weekend sit untouched and lonely and my house is filthy and I have no food in the house but you know what? None of it matters because life is full of things that'll derail all of our plans.

My Submission for Needle's Flash Fiction Challenge
Prissy jumped down from Veronica's lap and skittered to the front of the fishing boat, her paws on the side rail as she barked at the kids fishing on the shoreline.
"Von, will you keep that ratty dog quiet? She's scaring away the fish." Sam reeled in his slack line, wishing he would have left her and that damn dog of hers at home instead of letting her weasel her way into his fishing trip with Bailey. Baily Evers was the only reason Von had any interest in fishing and she flirted with him mercilessly in the truck and for the first hour on the lake until Sam told her to shut her silly mouth. Since then Veronica sat sulking with Prissy whimpering in her arms.
Bailey chuckled. "Maybe we can hang ol' Pris over the edge and see if there really are barracuda in this lake." He tilted back his Dodgers' cap and wiped the sweat from his brow, squinting as he stared off across the lake. "Should we try over in the shade? I'm burnin' up."
Sam nodded and Bailey hoisted the anchor. They drifted for a moment as Sam pulled the starter cord of the old Johnson motor three times before it churned to life and he steered the prop toward the other side of the lake. Maybe they'd at least catch a few blue gill in the shade.
Veronica turned around and aimed her huge round sunglasses at Sam. "How much longer are we gonna be out here? Momma said to be home for supper." The Chihuahua hopped back up on her lap and panted at him, its round black marble eyes matching Von's.
"We'll go when we go. Sit back and enjoy the day, would ya? You wanted to come, remember?" Sam wanted to punt that stupid dog across the lake but his momma would have a fit after what they spent to buy the little turd at the mall. For that kind of money, they could have at least gotten a real dog.
She huffed and shifted on the metal bench seat, rocking the boat from side to side. Sam coasted into a shady spot and cut the motor and Bailey dropped the anchor with a deep ka-sploosh. The shade was a relief and the two men cast out into the murky water.
Within minutes Bailey had a bite and set the hook with a jerk of the rod. He reeled in the line, careful not to lose his catch and whistled as he hefted a good size crappie out of the water. The fish flipped helplessly as he seized hold of it. "Damn thing ate my hook. Gimme your pliers."
"Just cut the line and toss 'er back in." Sam shifted to his left butt cheek and pulled out the pliers reluctantly.
"Nah, I only got so many hooks." He snatched up the pliers and shoved the tips into the fish's gasping mouth. With a quick twist, he freed the hook and slipped the fish back into the water.
Another ten minutes passed without even a nibble and Sam contemplated packing it in for the day. He opened his mouth to speak when a speedboat zipped through the no wake zone sending huge waves right in their direction. "Hold on." He grabbed both sides of the boat and steeled himself for the wakes.
Von squealed, releasing her grip on Prissy and reaching for the sides. As the first wave crashed into the side, she tilted with the boat and poor Prissy slid straight off her lap and over the side. "Sam! Sam, save Prissy!"
Bailey laughed, riding out the proceeding waves. "Dogs can swim, silly, she'll be fine."
Prissy held her tiny head up out of the water and frantically kicked her stubby legs, struggling to get back to the safety of the boat but waves swept her farther away. With a tiny whimper, she went under.
"Shit." Sam kicked off his shoes and jumped into the chest-deep water and swam toward Prissy. He took a breath and went under, searching for the tan colored dog in the shadowy gloom. A flurry of movement caught his eye and as he drew closer he saw Prissy's right hind leg in the mouth of a two foot alligator gar. The beast shook the dog, its mouthful of needle-sharp teeth tearing into her flesh.
Without thinking, he lunged forward and punched the fish with all his strength. Dazed, it relaxed its grip on Prissy and Sam pulled her into his arms.
They broke through the surface and Sam held Prissy up until he reached shallow water. He cradled her in his arms and covered her tiny snout with his mouth. Von screamed and wailed as he took a breath and blew into her nose then pressed on her ribcage. Sam gave Prissy mouth to snout for almost a full minute before she finally coughed up water and shivered in his arms.
"Bring the boat over and give me your shirt, Bailey. I think she's in shock." Sam walked out into deeper water holding the fragile animal above his head.
He passed Prissy into Bailey's hands and struggled to get back into the boat without capsizing it. Exhausted, he pulled himself aboard and collapsed on his seat.
"Oh Sam, you saved her! You saved my Prissy!" Tears streamed down Von's cheeks as she wrapped her sweater around the dog's trembling body.
Sam started up the motor and steered them back toward the dock. "You owe me, Von, and that dog owes me too. And the next time you even think about crashing my fishing trip, you best believe that dog is gonna be bait."

Printing Up My "Baby"
In other news, watching a double feature "Day of the Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" has rekindled a zombie story I started that kinda fizzled out. Good times! That and I got to scare the bazeezus out of the hubby last night during the movie. It is fun to be evil sometimes!

Me Make Funny Ha-Ha
I'm still working away at my Haiku Horror Stories and have a favorite already. Not sure how many of these suckers would constitute a book, but I'll keep writing them and eventually, I'll stop. Here's a freebie:
When you meet John Doe
Try not to look at his hands
Its better that way
If you do see them
You'll see the thick, heavy scars
All pink and tender
And you'll catch a glimpse
Of the stub of a pinkie
With smoothed-over ends
You'll stare at his hands
And wonder how it happened
And get lost in thought
While you are staring
You'll remember a murder
A year or so back
When a girl was killed
And her face burned with acid
To hide who she was
And then something clicks
As you look look into his eyes
You'll smile out of fear
But he won't smile back
See, he knows what you're thinking
He's seen it before
So don't turn your back
Now that you know his secret
Or you will be next

And Now....................................
Defying all logic and reason, the dead returned from death. All over the world, dead human bodies rose and walked the Earth in search of living human flesh to consume. Despite the valiant efforts of the living's vast armies and superior weapons, the dead won the Zombie War.
Defeated, the surviving governments of the world fled to the safety of their underground bases, leaving the last living survivors to their fate. All alone, trapped, for them there was no last second rescue, no escape. The Dead surrounded them, pounding on their barricaded doors, smashing in their boarded windows. It was their last chance to say goodbye, their last chance to shout out in defiance. It was time to write their final words.
For decades, the dead ruled the Earth unchallenged, but their reign was finite. In time, they returned to the dust from which they came.
When the living survivors emerged from their underground shelters, they would discover hundreds of thousands of tattered decaying messages, the letters left behind by the last to perish in the Zombie Apocalypse.
Coming soon from
A Tired, Rambly Post
I'm sitting at 2900 words for my super villain story and I'm hoping I won't have to cut anything. We'll see how it ends, I guess.
I think I made the best 'Champ' I've ever made last night. How can you go wrong with heavy cream and butter though, really? I even have some for lunch even though the diet doesn't allow white potatoes or heavy cream or that much butter, I'm working out for 45 minutes today and all my other food is healthy to the extreme. I'll be extra good this weekend. :)
As scared as I was to do it, I sent a query email to a publisher because they've had a submission from me for a while and I haven't heard from them if it is held, accepted, or rejected. I hate bothering editors...they scare me.

In other news...it looks like our little house might be getting new flooring soon in at least 2 rooms!! I'm so excited I could spit. ;)

The Cheese Is Back
I have finished the first draft of my serial killer story and will start the first of many rewrites tonight. Then I'm going to work on about 3 other short stories and of course the novel that hovers over my head and my fantasy novel/ella. All of this while wondering the status of four other stories that I've already submitted to various markets.

Project Revealed! Who Took My Cheese?
I'm on day 8 of my diet/life change and so far I don't think I've lost as much as I have in the past, but I feel so much better. No soda in 8 days, oodles of fresh fruits, brown rice, yogurt, and more water than I can stand to drink. After tomorrow I can reintroduce cheese into my life. Oh, how I've missed me my cheese!

After some much needed rest tonight I will clean up all of my Treasure and display it in the house. One of the creepiest finds will become my Facebook profile picture and I cannot wait.

25 Days Until Neil
In other news, I'm almost caught up on all of my jewelry orders. The whole special order concept is great, except when it takes me weeks to get the right beads. I've been favoring one supplier lately because they offer free shipping on orders over $10 but they don't have as big of a selection of beads. Ah well. Once I get the time, I might post some pictures here of my latest obsession: fresh water pearls and Swarovski crystals.

More Artsy and Less Fartsy
I believe that my zombie holiday story is now "done" and I can turn my attentions to that phobia story again. Once that sucker is out of the way, I will be working on "Briar's Mount: A Fairy Tale" again. If I work hard enough, I can make it through my To-Do list before July...

Cats, Mud, Exhaustion
Here's a tip I learned this weekend: never set a plastic Shop Vac too close to a torpedo heater because it WILL melt. And if it does start to melt, don't grab it without wearing gloves. My poor thumb!!!
Today I get to stay inside where it is warm and mud-free and revise my 4th of July story and once it is at its best I'll send it in.
I think a Cherry Coke is calling my name...

My mind needs a lot more work, unfortunately. I've been working on a story for an upcoming zombie holiday anthology and totally forgot about the phobia story I started. I wonder how the big authors out there manage... (probably with an assistant or two, I wager) If I don't get on the stick, I'll miss both deadlines.
Wish me luck....

New Year, New Blog
While taking stock of what I hope to achieve this year, I decided that I want to overhaul this blog. I want it to be pretty. I want it to reflect more of me. So, I will be working on a unique background for the blog and perhaps overhaul the content too.
I've already started the year off on a couple of bright notes:
- I got a story accepted into an anthology called "Letters From the Dead" (Library of the Living Dead Press) and it sounds like a very unique anthology. I can't wait to read the whole thing.
- Roman Dirge accepted me as a friend on Facebook. Yes, I'm easily excited.

Actually, according to my FAFSA for federal financial aid, while I was an undergraduate my parent's income determined how much capital I would receive from the federal/state levels. I'm 23 and I graduated with my BFA in past spring. Up to that point, my family was expected to contribute to my life. What I'm trying to state: You are one or multiple of the following (A) An overachiever that is trying to snob her way in again with comments (B) Your family is too rich and wouldn't help you with shit. (C) You took easy classes. (D) Your tuition, room/boarding, and fees are uber cheap.

Or third option, you graduated from college at 21, and moved out and got a job... I get that our generation is still living with their parents and putting off being an adult as long as possible but 23 is a bit excessive.

Okay. Yes, this is a hard lesson to learn, but she's 23. I am and many of my friends are 100% financially self-sufficient at 21. I think 23 was pretty generous, and certainly not a "fuck my life" occassion.

This whole FML is just stupid. Maybe if you interpret it right, the original poster might be saying "FML because I'm 23 and I'm not yet financially responsible for myself?" Get a fucking job. Loser.

Yea. im still learning it. At *23*....during a recession is not the time to learn to be finacially responsible. I should have learned before this mess!
By VintageGuitarist | 0
I don't mean to be rude, but if you're 23, you should be financially responsible for yourself. YDI.
Herbal_fml | 0
Agreed. Why is it an FML that you're financially 100% responsible at 23 while moved out of your parent's house? That's just normal.

Guess who's been completely financially responsible for herself since she was 16? Yeah, me. You're lucky your parents waited so long. Now get the fuck over it.
Sorrel | 0
Yeah, you are 23, get over it. If it happened on my birthday I might have been a bit upset, but I was always told that I would have to buy my own shit once I got to be 16, and it was NOT any better to know. You are 23, and after 18 you shouldn't a: ask for anything on your birthday and b: have to plead for money from your parents. Are you going to cling onto your parents your entire life? Get a job.

I would concur, but it sounds like they were expecting a birthday present not a handout - they're kind of different things. Generally, people get presents for others to let them know they're loved, regardless of financial independence.

I learned that lesson when I turned sixteen, sorry you had to wait so long. I kinda like providing for myself.
americayay | 0
#87 There is nothing wrong with asking for birthday presents after 18. I get my Gramma presents.
SammyS2012 | 21
Just because you're an "adult" now, doesn't mean your parents can't help you. It's not like you're not their offspring anymore, you're just a not a child. I find it extremely harsh when parents completely kick a child out. From all of my scholarship money and job, I could support myself, but every now and then, my mom likes helping even if she doesn't have much to give just because I'm her kid and she loves me.
McHammerfist | 0
+1 Do this.
1two3four5six | 23
That's not the point. I'm sure OP is responsible, but the point is that her mother was really harsh about it and it was her birthday.
Today, I woke up from a horrible nightmare. What was it about? Me accidentally scratching a non-stick pan with my utility knife. FML

The term "groundcover" includes low-growing plants that never reach more than a couple of inches in height as well as others that might grow as tall as two feet or more. Most of these plants spread easily, which is why they're called "groundcovers."
Just about any spreading perennial can be used as a ground cover, and even clump-formers can be planted en-masse to create the same effect. Begin your search for ground covers by observing what grows well now in your yard. If you have areas with many happy astilbes or hostas, why not plant more to create a ground cover?
It is important to choose the right ground cover to fit your needs and the site requirements. Our groundcover sections are organized according to requirements such as evergreen, paths and drought tolerant to make your selection process easier.
The only maintenance required is to snip off the runners or simply walk on the plants. Many gardeners have relied on ground covers to serve some of the same functions as mulch
Groundcovers for Sun
We have put together a number of lists to help you in your selection of groundcovers. This first section includes groundcovers that thrive in sun.
You will find lists for groundcovers that can be used to create paths or become a lawn substitute, in addition to fast growing, evergreen, and drought tolerant groundcovers for sun.

Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America
Barack Hussein Obama has fulfilled that promise, at the very least.
Roger Kimball:
The economy: During Obama's first term, the credit rating of the United States was downgraded by S&P for the first time in history. [and] ... According to a report released in 2012 by the Federal Reserve, Americans have seen their wealth plummet by 40 percent over the past few years.Race relations: They are in a rawer state than I can remember thanks to a president who played the race card at every opportunity. The Cambridge police were "stupid," according to the president, in the way they handled the case of Henry Louis Gates, Jr., famous Harvard huckster, back in 2009. If he had had a son, said the president, he would "look like" the thug Trayvon Martin, who jumped George Zimmerman and was shot dead by Zimmerman while pounding his head into the concrete sidewalk.And then there's the position of the United States on the world stage. ... "Not since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991," the historian Conrad Black observed yesterday, "and prior to that the fall of France in 1940, has there been so swift an erosion of the world influence of a Great Power as we are witnessing with the United States."...
For the America-hating, transnational progressive Left, the disaster that is Obama must have been fun at first: warm and fuzzy speeches in Cairo about how, deep down, Islam is as American as apple pie, economically suicidal decisions like the veto of the Keystone pipeline, unleashing the Internal Revenue Service against groups that promoted things like patriotism or the tea party: wot larks! ... The long march through the institutions of bourgeois capitalism is an amusing trek so long as you are the one giving the marching orders and commanding the funds and the security to make sure that, if there is any rough stuff, you are well out of it. But when that changes? If there is a tune everyone will remember from the Obama administration, it will the percussive sound of scurrying feet, rodent feet hurrying to get off the ship.So stayed tuned. Obama drew (or didn't draw: depends when you ask him) a "red line" about Syria: ... Meanwhile, alas, Michael Morell, deputy director of the CIA, recently said that toppling Assad would be the biggest threat in the world to U.S. security. All those weapons, all those al-Qaeda groups: a bad mixture. Scurry, scurry, scurry. "I don't remember a time," said Morell, "when there have been so many national security issues on the front burner as there are today." Thank goodness we have John "reporting for duty" Kerry and Barack Obama handling things. Feeling better?
Read the whole thing.

A Lesson For Both Guitarists And Bass Players: Chords And Their Use
This should make your understanding about chords deeper, and pave you a new way of their use.
You may ask - why? Well, it is because the C major chord (as such) is built by combining C, E, and G notes, which form the C major triad, which is a part of the C major scale. Of course, in the tab above, the C major chord is shown in it's most popular variant (which from now on I will call the regular form of C major), and consists of 5 notes, not 3. But it does not contradict what I said, because, in order of appearance, starting from the bass note, are: C, E, G, C, E. Another good example would be E minor chord (from now on - I will call it the regular E minor chord form):
|----0----| |----1----| |----0----| |----2----| |----3----| |---------|
In this case, the chord consists of the E minor triad (notes: E, G, B), and the notes present in this chord (in order of appearance starting from the bass note, respectively) are: E, B, E, G, B, E. Also, I would like to add, that there is more than one type of the major and minor scale. We have Natural minor, Harmonic Minor, Dorian Scale (like Natural Minor, but with an augmented 6th Degree), Phrygian Minor, Phrygian Major (also called Dominant phrygian), Mixolydian scale (which is like the major scale, but only with a flattened 7th degree), and many more. Now, I would like to make a few interesting side notes: First of all, in the case with E minor chord in it's regular chord shape, the triad it is built upon can be taken from more than one scale! It can be taken from: E natural minor, E phrygian minor, E Dorian scale, and E harmonic minor. And second, if in the E minor chord, that minor triad is taken from the E phrygian minor, then the C major chord will be a part of a harmonized chord progression in E phrygian, because the C major scale, and E phrygian scale are relative scales.(They also are called modes of each other. To learn more about this - search information about scale modes.) Of course, chords are not built only from major and minor scale triads. The power chords are built from the 1st and 5th degrees of a scale, double stops (another form of a power chord) - from the 1st and 4th degree. Then, we also have chords, that are built by taking a major/minor triad, and adding an additional note. A good example of this is the Cadd9 chord, which is oftenly used in genres like: Country, Country rock, Southern rock, Hard rock, sometimes you can even spot in heavy metal songs. Or well, at least, in songs, that have elements of Heavy Metal. The Cadd9 chord:
|----0----| |----0----| |----0----| |----2----| |----2----| |----0----|
The Cadd9 chord consists of the notes: C, E, G, D, G. That's 4 different notes! (if you forget about the fact, that the G notes are different by their octaves) Also we have chords, that have 5, 6 different notes in them. Such chords are frequently used in jazz music. In fact, if you are good enough, you make a weird chord, that consists of, like, 8 different notes. Now, you probably want ask: "Ok, I have read all of this, and now know the basics of how chords are built... But how can I use it? What is the benefit I receive?" Well, the benefits that you receive, are, as I said, a deeper understanding, which gives you new options. For example, if you are a bass player, then you have a good way, how to break out of being "the bass-note thumping guy". If you strum chords on bass, even the most common ones, then, despite having tuned your bass as it should be, you may not like the sound that comes out, you may think, that it is too "murky" (depends on your personal preferences, and what you want to get out of the guitar), even though the notes are right. It is because all of the notes are in a pretty low pitch (frequency, the "height" of sound). But, if you pick the notes out one by one - you avoid the "murky" sound. And here is where the knowledge I share with you in this lesson becomes valuable. By knowing how chords are built, and how music works, you have some guaranteed ways to achieve the sound you want. For example, at a band practice, when composing your own song, instead of thumping only the bass notes, you may take the same chord that is taken by your guitarist, and play an arpeggio (pick out the notes one by one), or also, take just one note out of the chord, that a song follows, and play it during that chord. By doing that, you would contribute to the song in a less common way. And if you are, for example, a guitarist, then you can use it in your rhythm guitar parts(like making an interesting arpeggio), or maybe, your guitar solos. Yes! Chords can be used in guitar solos as well! (but don't overdo it, because, otherwise, you may sound like a crappy nu-metal guitarist). A few ways to use chords in a guitar solos: playing each note separately (arpeggio) in order to make a melody, playing a sweep picking passage in a guitar solo (popular in metal), playing a guitar solo with a bottleneck (aka silde), which has a fair share of popularity in blues and rock. If you want - you can (at least try to) use chords in a guitar solo of any genre, even if it means breaking some "rules" of music (which sometimes leads to very interesting results). Here is a great example of chord usage in a guitar solo: Try playing this with the blues shuffle, it is a guaranteed way to make it sound good, because it is a blues guitar solo.
|----3----| |----3----| |----0----| |----2----| |----3----| |---------|

Additional info about the guitar solo: Key: A Major. Chord usage: Mixed. Genre: Blues, Electric Blues, Blues-rock. Legend: V - vibrato S/ - slide to a "higher" note (if no note has been written after the slide technique, then just make a slide of an undefinite length in the direction of your picking hand) S\ - slide to a "lower" note (if no note has been written after the slide technique, then just make a slide of an undefinite length in the direction of the headsotck) So, this is the end of the lesson. I hope that you've been a careful reader, and have gained a lot from this lesson. Cheers! ;)

Today is the first day of fall, which means I'm already thinking about holiday decor. As Robby and I worked on terrariums yesterday morning, we were excited to pull out the beautiful lights he's been collecting over the last few months. I love these lights. The color is warm white, and instead of having an ugly white or green cord, the lights are on delicate metal wires. So pretty and festive.
We brought these over to Embellish & Restore this morning, and we hope they'll brighten someone's heart and home soon!
4 Comments on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Lights
I love those lights! It's not just the fine wire, the LED lights themselves are just little tears of light along the wire instead of big bulbs. I hope to add even more of these to our home. Thank you for gifting me with your lovely work with lights.
oooh where did you find those babies? they are beautiful, and who doesn't love little lights during the holidays?! (particularly up here, where it is dark dark dark for days on end)

Things about 12:30 pm on August 15.
The weather is good.
As sick, in the dazzling sunlight.
Because there also be, I was talking with you.
"But, I wonder if hate summer"
While stroking the cat, you mutter.
Ah, chasing after the cat ran away, was gone jump the traffic light changed to red.
Track through the dragged about you, I cry cry.
Was mixed color of blood splash, and the smell of you.
Heat haze that lie like they are smiling a me, "I'll not a lie".
I dazzled all light blue of summer, the sound of cicadas, such as churning.
In bed the hands of the clock that awoke resounds, time now?
I point 12 o'clock in the morning of August 14.
I remembered the voice of noisy cicadas.
But, wonder if a little strange.
I remembered a dream that I saw yesterday in the same park.
"Do you go home today again"
When it comes to the road, looking up at everyone on, people around were not open his mouth.
Iron pillar, which has been falling, to pierce through you.
Sound of wind chimes and scream the sky around in clearance of trees.
Heat haze seems to be on purpose, laughing me "It's not a dream".
I feel your profile, such as laughing in sight that has dazzled.
Many times the world also dazzled, I take away heat haze laughing.
Repeat, for decades. I had noticed long ago already.
Ending only one sure if this familiar story.
Beyond the summer day was repeated.
I jumped displacement, you.
I run into instant track.
The diffusely reflected to the body to squeaky color of blood splash, and your eyes, laughed in a heat haze unfriendly complaint.
That summer day there really well.
Such things have ended, here.
I woke up, on a bed of August 14.
Girl, and holding the cat alone, "I was bad again".

The first quarter was not a good period in terms of sales in Brazil for Bmw as the country increased the tax for imported cars. Apparently, in order to protect jobs and automakers with factories in Brazil the government increased the industrial products tax on vehicles with less than 65 percent of their parts produced in the country.
As a result, car sales fell 30 percent. Still, the bad news continue because manufacturers like Bmw increased prices of their cars by 15.9 percent, while the other 14.1 percent were absorbed by Bmw and dealerships. According to Autonews, Brazil wants to protect carmakers based in the country. For those who don't know, the car market is dominated by Volkswagen, Fiat and General Motors, while Bmw has a small market share.
Still, the Bavarian manufacturer sees Brazil as a country with very big potential, just like China. In the first quarter, Bmw sold 1,888 units in Brazil, down from 2,137 units a year earlier. Moreover, Bmw also put on hold plans to build a factory in Brazil because of the IPI increase. Finance Minister Guido Mantega said that the IPI increase aims to force car manufacturers to build key components in Brazil.
