Subaru can justifiably lay claim to the fact that they started the AWD SUV revolution way back in the last century. It was in the 70's with the Subaru Leone AWD wagon. This has now seen, in Australia, the SUV segment account for some 45% of all passenger vehicle sales and Subaru has maintained its presence in that market.
We are testing the latest version of the Subaru Outback in 2.5i Premium form. While it forsakes the current high body design trend for its traditional wagon style, the Outback is every bit as capable as its SUV counterparts and, for the most part, way more capable than many.
The 2.0D Outback was the winner in the OzRoamer AWD SUV $45,000 – $60,000 segment in 2016, and while the Subaru Outback remains relevant and has been updated, the market has moved so fast the Outback now has a few weaknesses, that I'm sure will be addressed in the upcoming model revamp.
In late 2014, Subaru launched its fifth generation All-Wheel Drive Outback Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). In early 2016, Subaru updated the Outback with more safety features including their EyeSight® system, giving us the version we have today.
I like the style of the Outback wagon.
It has a presence about it and while many call it sedate, I call it subtle. The bold bonnet and chrome surround grill exude purpose without being overbearing. The sweeping headlight surrounds follow the same clever lines as in the bonnet. The front fog lights now have integrated halogen Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and the low beam lights are LED's too.
From the side, there is a high and again subtle hip line, 18 inch alloy wheels and roof rails. The colour coded mirrors and door handles blend into the body work. From the rear, the wagon doesn't have the slab back appearance that can prevail in other wagons, which is refreshing and modern.
The wheel arches add a bolder, more muscular appearance. It's very much a look that says I am good but I don't have to brag about it.
Internally, the Subaru Outback again exudes subtle style and luxury beyond its price. The interior is elegant, with soft touch surfaces and user friendly ergonomics that convey a luxurious impression for the occupants.
The electronically adjustable heated leather driver's seat is really very comfortable, enjoys plenty of seat travel and with the height and reach adjustable leather steering wheel, it is simple to arrange a desired driving position. For my ageing back there is also an electronic lumbar support.
Even with the sunroof there is adequate head room for taller drivers. The driver's foot rest for the left foot is comfortably positioned. Wider opening doors and higher seats allow easier access.
While not everyone tests out the horn, I unfortunately had the need to use it and found it lacking in authority!
The dash in front of the driver is the familiar two dial style with a practical and informative dual multi-function display in-between. The centre stack has been redesigned and carries the subtle and stylish theme. It contains a feature-packed infotainment system with a wide array of functions plus speech recognition which again, is easy to use. This screen also houses the reversing camera display.
However, this is one area where the fast paced development of technology has seen Subaru waiting for the next upgrade, hopefully. Many vehicles now have Android Auto and Apple Car Play as standard features, and the more vehicles that do, the more noticeable those cars that don't have these features are.
The Outback 2.5i Premium comes with factory fitted satellite navigation which is subject to the new Subaru Map Update Program. Also included is the Three Year Map Update Guarantee – a complimentary yearly map update during the program period, subject to the vehicle having its scheduled services performed through an authorised Subaru Service Centre.
Rear seats have a cool recline function and are comfortable but suited more for two occupants rather than three. There is adequate head, shoulder, knee and leg room for normal sized passengers. There are two a/c vents in the rear but no USB ports.
Storage front and back is plentiful with door bottle holders, cup holders centre console and a handy spot below the centre stack that holds wallet, phones keys etc.
The automatic boot lid is a nice touch and the boot space with automatic 60/40 split fold down seats provides a relatively large and versatile cargo space. Adjustable roof rails are another clever idea as is the rear door-space step that makes roof loading and unloading of the integrated crossbars easier.
Other features include Bluetooth/MP3/WMA/AUX/CD/voice command, compatible six-speaker audio touchscreen system, climate control air conditioning – dual zone with rear vents – electric parking brake, dual map lights, rain sensing auto windscreen wipers, light sensing headlights with auto on/off, DataDot security technology and a cool front wiper de-icer.
Safety has always been a feature of Subaru with their model range having a 5 star ANCAP safety rating for a number of years now but the latest Outback has taken safety to another level.
There is the usual airbags complement including: curtain airbags – full length, driver's knee airbag, dual front airbags, and dual front side airbags.
In practice, the Outback has a myriad of electronic safety features that beep and ding at you when you wander over lane lines or when a car or object is too close in front. Sometimes, it beeps or dings at you and you have no idea why.
Every new CVT Outback is also equipped with the award-winning EyeSight® driver assist system, which can help reduce fatigue, avoid accidents or reduce impact.
Key Functions of EyeSight® driver assist system include Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Pre-Collision Braking Assist, Pre-Collision Steering Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Front Vehicle Start Alert.
Pre-Collision Steering Assist – augmented collision prevention, using Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC). If the possibility of collision with a vehicle or obstacle in front occurs, VDC activates to assist the driver in potentially avoiding it.
The stereo camera achieves better active safety and less driver load. EyeSight® features four levels of inter-vehicle distance setting. The display of the driver's own car appears when Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is turned on. Thankfully for some who find it a little touchy, the driver can choose not to activate the ACC. The system features a large 5-inch LCD display.
External sensor and 3D image processing performance mean the system can easily recognise lateral and distant vehicles, stabilizing control in all speed zones and improving pedestrian pre-collision detection.
And in further proof of Subaru's safety commitment, Vision Assist features are also added to Outback, comprising: Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Change Assist, Auto dimming rear view mirror, High Beam Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert which detects passing vehicles when reversing from parking spaces.
Another safety development is the addition of an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), which detects an emergency brake situation and flashes the hazard lights automatically, to warn following vehicles.
One feature I liked is the unintended start prevention. This activates if an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle, restricting sudden movement by unintended depression of the accelerator, providing a warning display and sound.
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) constantly monitors vehicle movement. It flexibly controls the Antilock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS, engine and brake LSD control), and VDC (engine and brake control for side slip prevention).
VDC is also tuned for towing with the genuine Subaru towbar. ATV is introduced to improve cornering performance and vehicle steering response. While cornering, brake is applied to inside wheels, while distributing less torque to them; but more torque to outside wheels.
All that theory is good to know, but it's on and off the road where the Subaru Outback shines. On road, the Outback is a relaxed, capable family wagon which transports its passengers in safety and comfort.
Subaru's combination of its Boxer engine, low centre of gravity and AWD powertrain creates stability and on-road handling that is amongst the best for this class of vehicle.
Off road, the Outback is ideally suited to the adventurous family. Driving on forest trails, beach driving, trips to the snow, around the farm etc. are all easily accomplished. If the mood takes the driver, more adventurous off road driving can be undertaken with extreme care. The limiting factors are the approach and departure angles.
Subaru's active torque split Symmetrical All Wheel drive system has been perfected over a number of years now and works a treat. It provides active safety and a degree of off road capability and is enhanced with the X-Mode feature that enhances driver safety and confidence on steep hills off-road, where the optimum ride height of 213mm is also a significant advantage.
The petrol engine is a 2.5-litre horizontally opposed 4 cylinder Boxer engine that produces maximum power output of 129kW @ 5800rpm and maximum torque of 235Nm @ 4000rpm. This is line ball with the Audi Q2 1.4t petrol and the Honda CRV 1.5T VTI. If you want more there is the 3.6L version available.
The power and torque peaks relatively high but the delivery is smooth and provides enough real world power. The Outback has a 6 speed Lineartronic™ CVT that is matched well enough to the engine characteristics to extract the best efficiency. There is also a two mode Si-Drive system. Fuel economy is ok and on test we achieved around 10L/100K with a mix of urban, freeway and off road driving.
Towing isn't a really strong point but more than adequate compared to others in the segment, with a limit of 1500kg and 150kg tow ball weight for the 2.5i Premium. This is however enough for a small camper trailer, a seadoo or bike trailer which suits the adventurous lifestyle aspirations of buyers.
Every new Subaru is eligible for the Capped Price Servicing program, which applies throughout the vehicle's lifetime – not just the three-year warranty period. It includes all items required as part of the standard scheduled service, as set out in the Maintenance Schedule of Subaru's Warranty and Service Handbooks. These include labour, genuine parts, factory specified oils and fluids, and even the environmental levy and supplies charge, which includes items such as oil and waste recycling.
Subaru, once the leader in warranty offering, is now behind its competitors with a 3 year unlimited km warranty. Compare this to Kia's 7 year unlimited km warranty and Hyundai and Honda with their 5 year unlimited warranty. It is however the same as Audi Q2. It's lucky not much ever goes wrong with them.
The Outback is one of those vehicles that grows on you the more you drive it. This is because the subtle luxuries and safety features are not intrusive but become apparent as time progresses. That is the essence of great design. On and off road, the ride, handling and quietness is amongst the best in class.
The Subaru Outback should definitely be near the top of your list for a AWD SUV wagon that has the level of luxury and sophistication of many European vehicles that cost many thousands more. It is comfortable and enjoyable to drive and its subtle features, both safety and luxury, reveal themselves as you live with the vehicle longer.


Regional wireless carrier C-Spire claims it already launched 5G service in the United States, having announced it's now offering a next-generation fixed wireless access solution in select locations across Mississippi earlier this week. While the company is referring to its solution as 5G, it's not basing it on the 3GPP's Release 15 or any other standard released by the wireless consortium. Instead, it's using proprietary hardware and a set of close-sourced IEEE 802.11 specifications, so while the service offers faster speeds compared to 4G LTE, it likely wouldn't be considered as "true" 5G by anyone outside of C-Spire.
A number of officials from the stateside wireless segment dismissed Verizon's claim of having the world's first commercial 5G network and customers. Speaking with AndroidHeadlines under the condition of anonymity, several industry veterans pointed to the examples of Qatari carrier Ooredoo and Mississippi operator C-Spire as clear evidence that Verizon's claims about the uniqueness of its 5G Home service are entirely false. Much like Verizon, C-Spire and several other telecom companies abroad already launched fixed wireless access solutions reliant on a proprietary specification that's in no way associated with the 3GPP, the organization responsible for standardizing the next generation of cellular connectivity.

Roasted Squash and Carrot Salad with Chickpeas and Almonds
-1 large acorn squash, or 2 small delicata squash, quartered, seeded, and sliced ½ inch thick (no need to peel)
-3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
-1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
-5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-Kosher salt
-Freshly ground black pepper
-One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-2 escarole hearts, coarsely chopped
-2-ounce piece ricotta salata
-1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with a baking sheet on the bottom rack. Toss the squash and carrots in a large bowl with the ground fennel and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with ½ teaspoon salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet, and roast until almost tender, about 20 minutes. Set the bowl aside.
Add the chickpeas to the baking sheet with the squash and carrots, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the balsamic vinegar and 1 additional tablespoon of the olive oil. Stir to coat everything in the oil on the baking sheet, and continue to roast until the vegetables are browned and tender and the chickpeas have begun to crisp, 8 to 10 minutes more.
While they're still warm, put the contents of the baking sheet in the bowl used to toss the vegetables. Dress with the remaining tablespoon of the vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the escarole, and toss well. Shred the ricotta salata over top with a vegetable peeler, and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Serve immediately.
Beer-Braised Beef Short Ribs
(Served with Polenta)
-¼ cup dried porcini-
-1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
-4 pounds bone-in beef shortribs
-2 tablespoons tomato paste
-1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
-2 fresh bay leaves
-12 ounces dark ale
-6 cups chicken stock
-3 medium onions, cut into 1-inch chunks
-1 pound small red potatoes, halved
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Combine the porcini and almonds in the work bowl of a mini–food processor. Pulse to make an almost smooth pestata.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the short ribs with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Brown the short ribs all over, removing them to a plate as they brown, about 5 minutes per batch.
Add the carrots, and toss to coat in the oil. Cook the carrots until they begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes; then make a space in the pan, and add the tomato paste there. Cook and toast the tomato paste in that space until it darkens a shade or two, about 1 minute. Add the thyme and bay leaves, and stir to combine. Add the pestata, and stir to toast lightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beer, bring it to a boil, and cook until the beer is reduced by half. Add back the short ribs, and add 4 cups of the chicken stock. Adjust the heat so the liquid is simmering, set the lid ajar, and simmer until the short ribs are almost tender, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
Add the remaining 2 cups stock, the onions, and the potatoes. Return to a simmer, and cook until everything is very tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful, about 40 to 50 minutes more. Stir in the parsley, remove the bay leaves, and serve.
Basic Polenta
(Served with Beer-Braised Beef Short Ribs)
-5 cups water (or half water and half milk, for a richer taste)
-1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-1 fresh bay leaf
-1 tablespoon kosher salt
-1½ cups coarse yellow cornmeal
-Cooked polenta is delicious served as is, but if you would like to add additional flavor, all or just one or two of the following additions, whipped into the hot polenta, are great options:
-4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces
-1 cup grated Grana Padano
-½ cup mascarpone
-½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola
In a large saucepan, combine the water (or water and milk), olive oil, bay leaf, and salt, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Very slowly, sift the cornmeal by handfuls into the pot, through the fingers of one hand, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to remove any lumps.
Once all of the cornmeal is added, adjust the heat so just a few lazy bubbles pop to the surface. Continue to cook and stir until the polenta is smooth and thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan as it is stirred, about 30 to 35 minutes.
To serve, beat in the finishing items of your choice.
Discard the bay leaf, pour the polenta into a serving bowl or onto a wooden board, and allow it to rest a few minutes.
To serve from the bowl, dip a large spoon into hot water and scoop the polenta onto individual dishes, dipping the spoon into the water between scoops. To serve from the board, cut polenta into segments with a thin, taut string or knife, and transfer to plates with a spatula or cake server.
CHICKEN PIZZAIOLA
(Served with Braised Broccoli Rabe)
-4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), trimmed of the fat and Gristle
-1 cup buttermilk
-1 1/2 cups pranko breadcrumbs
-3/4 freshly grated grana padano
-1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Sicilian, on the branch
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus 1/4 cup leaves, and whole sprigs for garnish
-2 cups prepared fresh tomato sauce
-4 slices low-moisture mozzarella
Season the chicken breasts with salt, and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the buttermilk, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Drain the chicken, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, toss together the panko, grated Grana Padano, dried oregano, chopped parsley, chopped basil, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir to incorporate everything fully into the crumbs.
Put the drained chicken breasts in the bowl with the seasoned breadcrumbs one at a time, and pat well on both sides so the crumbs cover the chicken on all sides. Set the breaded chicken breasts on the parchment paper, arranged so they don't touch each other.
Bake the chicken until the coating is crisp and browned and the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. While the chicken bakes, combine the tomato sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and ¼ cup basil leaves in a blender, and purée until smooth. Season with salt. Pour the purée into a small saucepan, and warm it over low heat.
When the chicken is just cooked through, top with the sliced mozzarella and bake until the cheese is just melted, about 2 minutes. Spread the tomato emulsion on plates, top with the chicken, and serve.
Broccoli Rabe Braised with Olive Oil And Garlic
(Served with Chicken Pizzaiola)
-1 pound broccoli rabe
-2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
-¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
Cut off the tough ends of the stems of the broccoli rabe. Then, holding a stem with the florets in hand, nick a little piece of the end of the stem with a paring knife, and pull the little piece of the stem toward you, peeling the stem partially. Continue working your way around the stem until it is peeled. As you peel the stem, some of the large tough outer leaves will also be removed; discard those as well. Repeat with the remaining stems. Wash and drain in a colander.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scatter the garlic over the oil, and cook, shaking the pan, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, and season lightly with salt and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper. Stir and toss to distribute the seasonings.
Pour ¼ cup water into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cover the skillet tightly, and cook, lifting the lid to turn the stalks occasionally, until the broccoli rabe is tender, about 13 minutes. Taste, and season with additional salt and crushed red pepper if necessary. Serve hot.
SPINACH, BREAD, AND RICOTTA FRITTATA
(Served with a Mixed Green Salad)
-3 leeks, white and light-green parts, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2 inch thick
-1 bunch spinach, stemmed and coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
-8 large eggs
-1/2 cup milk
-2 cups 1/2-inch crustless country-bread cubes
-1/4 cup freshly grated grana padano
-1 ripe medium tomato, thinly sliced
-1 cup fresh ricotta
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add the olive oil to a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the leeks, and cook until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the spinach; then cook and stir until it's wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Increase the heat, and cook away any moisture in the pan.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and several grinds of pepper. Add the bread cubes and grated cheese, and let soak until the bread is moistened, 5 minutes. Pour the egg-and-bread mixture into the skillet. Cook until the sides begin to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Set the sliced tomatoes on top of the egg mixture. Dollop the ricotta in the spaces between the tomato slices. Set the pan in the oven to bake until the frittata is set all the way through, 15 to 18 minutes. Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before sliding it out and cutting it into wedges to serve.
Apple Cranberry Crumble
(Served with Vanilla Ice Cream)
-2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces, plus 1 tablespoon, softened, for the baking dish
-3 pounds cooking apples, such as Golden Delicious, peeled and cut into chunks
-2 cups fresh cranberries
-½ cup granulated sugar
-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
-¾ cup all-purpose flour
-¾ cup chopped almonds
-¾ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
-¾ cup packed light-brown sugar
-½ teaspoon ground ginger
-¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
-1 stick unsalted butter, slightly softened
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a large cast-iron skillet. Combine the apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl, and toss well. Transfer to the skillet. Dot the top with the cold butter pieces.
Wipe out the bowl, and make the topping. Add the flour, almonds, oats, brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the bowl. Toss to combine. Cut the butter into five or six pieces. Work the butter in with your fingers until the topping is evenly moistened.
Squeeze clumps of the topping in your palm, a few tablespoons at a time, and scatter them over the fruit. Bake until the crumble topping is golden and crisp and the fruit juices are bubbly, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool on a rack, and serve warm or at room temperature. Served with ice cream.

«Мужчине живётся трудно. Фильм 24: Весеннее сновидение Торадзиро» (, Отоко-ва цурай ё: Торадзиро хару-но юмэ;  — японская комедия режиссёра Ёдзи Ямады, вышедшая на экраны в 1979 году. 24-й фильм популярного в Японии киносериала о комичных злоключениях незадачливого чудака Торадзиро Курума, или по-простому Тора-сана. По результатам проката фильм посмотрели 1 млн. 841 тыс. японских зрителей.

Сюжет
Как обычно, странствующий торговец вразнос Тора-сан возвращается домой в японский магазин сладостей его семьи в Кацусике (Сибамата, Токио). Здесь его радостно встречают близкие: дядя Рюдзо, тётя Цунэ, родная младшая сестра Сакура, её муж Хироси и их сын Мицуо; а так же различные друзья и соседи. Вскоре Торадзиро начинает нервничать и спорить со всеми близкими, казалось бы, из-за пустяка: его сестра Сакура и её маленький сын Мицуо оказывается, могут говорить на английском языке гораздо лучше, чем безнадёжный Тора-сан. Взбешённый, он хлопает дверью и опять подаётся в странствия по Японии.

Вскоре после этого на улицах Сибаматы заблудился в поисках дешёвой гостиницы некий американский торговец витаминами Майкл Джордан. Он очень плохо говорит на японском языке, и ни один из встреченных им японцев не понимает по-английски. Американец в панике, пока случайно встреченная преподавательница английского языка в японской школе Кэйко не приходит к нему на помощь. В интересах «японо-американских отношений», местный буддистский священник Годзэн-сама просит тётю Тора-сана и его же дядю позволить этому американцу поселиться в их доме квартирантом.

Первоначально семья была насторожена и напугана этим американским гигантом (исполнитель роли Майкла, актёр Херб Эдельман довольно высокого роста), смущена его западными привычками, однако впоследствии домочадцы к нему привыкли и даже полюбили. Неожиданно домой возвращается нагулявшийся Тора-сан. Он разъярён, когда выясняется, что в его комнате живёт какой-то волосатый иностранец. Он рассматривает Майкла Джордана как своего рода зверя («Кайдзю!» — кричит он). Кроме всего прочего Майкл влюбляется в замужнюю сестру Тора-сана, Сакуру, что ещё более накаляет их отношения. Кэйко навещает семью и Майкла. Торадзиро сражён наповал красавицей-вдовой Кэйко. В конечном счете, двое мужчин находят, что у них больше общего, чем они думали.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a private email exchange last year leaked this week by hackers, former Secretary of State Colin Powell discussed Israel's nuclear weapons capability with a friend, saying the country has 200 warheads.
Powell is not the first top-level U.S. government official to publicly discuss Israel's nukes. Former President Jimmy Carter has said in interviews and speeches that Israel has between 150 and 300 warheads.
Powell's leaked email, which was among thousands of his messages posted earlier this week to the website DCLeaks.com, provides fodder for defenders of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. The Democratic presidential nominee has faced withering criticism from Republicans for exchanging emails with her aides that contained sensitive government information.
Powell also used a private America Online email account to communicate with senior U.S. officials and foreign dignitaries while serving as the nation's top diplomat under President George W. Bush. A Republican, Powell said he never discussed classified information over his private account.
The release of Powell's emails is the latest in a string of leaks that appear intended to influence the 2016 presidential election. The FBI is investigating how thousands of Democratic National Committee emails were hacked and published, an embarrassing breach that Clinton's campaign maintains was committed by Russia to benefit Donald Trump.
In his emails leaked this week, Powell called the GOP presidential nominee "a national disgrace" and suggested his own Republican Party is "crashing and burning." He also lamented Clinton's attempt to equate her use of private email at the State Department with his.

What impact will your career make?
Fil Alleva has spent almost 4 decades giving speech technology a voice
Larry Carroll Jun 7, 2016
The phrase "life's work" is one that seems to be fading into obscurity with each passing year. The ideal of seeing a finish line and giving your all to get across it sometimes seems romanticized — until you meet someone like Fil Alleva.
"I started working in the speech area in 1977," explains the affable Partner Group Engineering Manager. "I'm coming up on 40 years now working on this."
Alleva was planning to be a chemical engineer in his undergraduate years at Carnegie Mellon University in the late '70s when he befriended Professor Raj Reddy in an introductory programming class. Soon after, he found himself taking a $2-an-hour job programming computers, if only because it was a better gig than working in the school cafeteria.
"Raj was a pioneer in AI and speech recognition," Alleva says of his mentor, Reddy, who won the Turing Award in 1994 . "He taught me everything he knew; we worked together for seventeen years."
Alleva began dreaming of a day when people would interact with technology the same way they primarily interact with each other: verbally. Since bringing his efforts to Microsoft in 1993, he's applied his life's work in countless applications that were inconceivable when that dream began — and he works for a company that puts him in the position to impact the lives of countless people all over the world.
"Cortana is what we consider to be the killer application for speech. It's the agent that ultimately is going to be one of the key ways you interact with communications and computing capabilities — services, applications, data analysis and more," he explains. "Doing machine learning and speech processing for Cortana, it is clear that we are one of the few companies that has an opportunity to build a product and then put it in the hands of hundreds of millions of users who really need it to do productive work on a day-to-day basis."
As he closes in on his 25th anniversary at Microsoft, Alleva says he feels as strongly about the company now as when he joined.
"If you want to get at the tip of the spear…Microsoft is the place to be."
"If you want to get at the tip of the spear — building an AI project that is actually adding to business productivity — Microsoft is the place to be," he says. "We have the people, the data and the vision to go after that."
But for Alleva, following his passion has not always been easy. Over the decades, as he kept chipping away at what some called an insurmountable challenge, the achievements weren't always so clear. "I'd run into old classmates who'd gone out into the world and done wonderful things, and they'd say 'Fil, are you still working on speech?'" he laughs. "People would say 'It's the technology of the future — and it always will be.'"
But if you stand your ground long enough in the middle of a storm, you may eventually find the winds shifting in your favor. "About ten years ago, people began saying 'That speech stuff isn't working yet, but I think it could be coming,'" he recalls. "Now, it has become a present technology. And people don't say that stuff anymore."
His Sisyphean boulder finally pushed over the hilltop, automatic speech processing is picking up more momentum every day. It truly is the technology of the future — and the future is now.
"Microsoft has a wide range of products that incorporate this technology," says Alleva. "It has become mainstream. And if you're someone who is interested in machine learning in this era, you should be excited about the advent of deep learning."
Using deep learning algorithms to model high-level data classification, this branch of machine learning is creating plenty of buzz in the field that has Alleva excited for what lies ahead.
"Artificial neural networks have been under development for decades, but it's only in the last four or five years that we've gotten them to work well," he explains. "We've been on a roll ever since, because it's dramatically improving the rate at which these systems get better."
At this point, Alleva says, it's really just a matter of increasing the number of smart people who are working within the field of deep learning.
"The process of developing the next generation of technology — which is based on this type of machine learning —has accelerated dramatically," he says. "We've gone through three generations of deep learning machine technology in the last two years, where previously, we'd go through one generation in about 10 years."
"Microsoft is doing some cutting edge work"
"It's very exciting. Microsoft is doing some cutting-edge work, in terms of developing new types of machine learning," Alleva explains. "With my perspective, I can see that the surface area for innovation just keeps getting larger as we develop these tools."
All these years after they began, the question for Alleva isn't so much whether speech recognition will fuel decades of innovation, but who will take it to the next level.
"Have an idea of the impact that you want to make, and know that you can do that here."
"When I find someone who is raring to go, I say 'Make sure you know what you stand for. And then you do it,'" Alleva says of the advice he dispenses to people on his team. "That's a great approach to a career anywhere, but particularly at Microsoft. Have an idea of the impact that you want to make, and know that you can do that here."
With those words, Alleva summarizes his take on how to launch your "life's work" in a modern context. So the next question is, where will your life's work take you?

Q: Angular change detection vs Svelte change detection I use Angular for my day job and am learning Svelte on the side. I understand that neither Angular or Svelte use a virtual dom and diffing. I understand that both have other change detection mechanisms, and, from what I've researched, they look similar. Can someone explain to me how each method is unique and how Angular and Svelte's change detection mechanisms differ?

A: Disclaimer: I don't know the inner workings of neither Angular nor Svelte very deeply, so take my answer with a grain of salt.
Change detection in Angular is done by some form of dirty-checking. A check is run each time Angular is told to do so. In normal Angular projects that's achieved by using Zone.js which patches all possible sources of events, for example setInterval or DOM event listeners. When a patched event fires, Angular triggers the change detection. Then each variable that Angular is interested in is compared with the previous state, and if they are different, stuff is rerendered. This blog post explains the concept in more detail.
Svelte does not do dirty-checking, instead it analyses at compile-time each variable that could trigger a repaint and wraps the assignments with $$invalidate calls. So foo = 'bar' becomes $$invalidate(.., foo = "bar"); (side node: this is why things like array.push(item) do not trigger - there is no assignment -, a common confusion for new Svelte developers). All places where variables were invalidated will be repainted in the next browser tick.

Morneau looks ready for Wednesday return
Justin Morneau is eligible to come off the disabled list Wednesday and it's looking more and more like he'll be in the lineup when the Twins play the Tigers that night. The first-baseman took live batting practice for the first time in two weeks before Monday's game and says he's "optimistic" he'll be in the lineup soon.
Justin MorneauSportsTwins
Justin Morneau set to return Wednesday
The Twins plan to activate Justin Morneau from the disabled list before Wednesday's game against the Tigers. He's been out with a sore left wrist, but feels good enough to get back in the lineup. He'll also start at first base, according to Ron Gardenhire.
Morneau may be ready for batting practice
Twins slugger Justin Morneau is in town this weekend for TwinsFest, but he'll also see a team doctor to see if he's ready to start taking batting practice. Morneau is recovering from wrist surgery he had in September.
Morneau is pain free, expected back for next road trip
Justin Morneau "doesn't feel any pain" in his wrist, according to general manager Terry Ryan. The first-baseman is expected to start swinging a bat again on Saturday and will likely join the Twins for an eight game road trip when he's eligible to come off the disabled list May 16.
Morneau: DH for now?
Justin Morneau might be used as a designated hitter more often than a first baseman this season. Doctors have told Morneau that he's more vulnerable to concussion symptoms returning if his body wears down. Morneau is hot over his last three spring games, going 4-9 with two doubles, two homers and five RBI -- all of which he was the Twins' designated hitter.
Spring Training: Morneau set to play back-to-back games
It was a double off the wall for Justin Morneau today in a "B" game against the Red Sox. The Twins' first baseman will be in the lineup again tomorrow against Tampa Bay, his first back-to-back games of the spring.
Twins' Morneau accepts DH role
Justin Morneau fully expected to play first base for the Twins on Opening Day. But the slugger tells the Pioneer Press if it makes more sense for him to be the full time designated hitter, he'll do what's good for the team.
Morneau isn't ready to play
The Twins are still without Justin Morneau as he continues to recover from a wrist injury. Ron Gardenhire is away from the team for the weekend series in Seattle, but acting manager Scott Ullger reiterated that Morneau won't play in a game until his wrist is ready.
Morneau takes swings before game
There were several reports from Target Field Saturday that Justin Morneau was hitting a ball off of a tee. He has been on the disabled list retroactive to May 1 with a sore left wrist. Morneau did not take full batting practice.

Will the Religious Side with Workers?
At this moment, when the embattled US labor movement urgently needs strong community-based allies and much greater moral legitimation, there ought to be no better place to find both than among the faithful. Yet broad-based strategic and moral support from the religious side has been slow to materialize.
In saying this, I do not disparage or minimize the importance of the religious support that public sector workers, in my home state of Wisconsin in particular, have been able to marshal. The work of denominational, ecumenical, and interfaith bodies in backing and blessing the unionized workers has been crucially important. Much credit for this goes to the nimble and effective coordinating work of Interfaith Worker Justice, the Chicago-based umbrella group for dozens of local and regional religion-labor coalitions across the country.
One reason religious types have come to the defense of public sector workers is the blatant unfairness of the new attacks mounted by GOP governors like Walker, Kasich, and Daniels. Many faith leaders see how conservative GOP activists in public office use budgetary problems to strip away bargaining rights and push through governance changes that have nothing to do with balancing budgets in the short term.
Religious leaders might also be starting to draw the appropriate conclusions from the striking correlation between the sharp decline of American unionism and the sharp rise of American inequality that dates to the start of the Reagan years. It's worth noting that Christian Century, a centrist magazine if ever there was one, devoted a two-page review this month to the book that lays out the correlation most thoroughly: Winner Take All Politics, by Joseph Hacker and Paul Pierson.
I want, however, to look at the part of the glass that's half empty. I want to ask why many more of the faithful never took sides during the long war against unions and union workers that's been raging since the mid-1970s—even prior to Ronald Reagan's 1981 firing of the Air Traffic Controllers. The mid-'70s was when the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to low-wage, non-union suppliers began in earnest. It was also when U.S.-based corporations decided to start violating both the spirit and letter of the Wagner Act—the 1935 landmark legislation that gave workers their basic rights—in a systematic way. I began a fifteen year career as a senior staffer for two national unions (the Teachers and the Auto Workers) during the mid-'70s, and I was thus able to watch the systematic attack on workers and on union rights unfold at very close range.
What happened makes for a short and bitter story. Employers across the spectrum realized thirty-five years ago that they could flout the basic labor law and get away with it. They could intimidate and harass—and often fire—the union supporters; they could hold captive audience meetings to indoctrinate and frighten workers into voting against representation. Most importantly, they could hire union-busting consultants and lawyers to help implement these hardball tactics and delay union elections (often for years) with the goal of grinding down union support. If the National Labor Relations Board imposed penalties for blatant labor law violations, employers would merely chuckle and pay the fines (deducting them as a business expense, of course) in order to maintain union-free workplaces.
These aggressive new moves, combined with the capacity to shut down unionized workplaces and ship the work to the non-union American South or to the Global South, took their predictable devastating toll on private-sector unionism. Surging public sector unionism during this same period saved the American labor movement from complete collapse. But now these public sector unions are also under the gun in a big way.
So my question persists: Where were the vast majority of American religious leaders during these decades of attacks on workers and their organizations? It's not that labor's gospel of gaining a fair share of the economic productivity that workers help create is so very different from religion's stated interest in shared prosperity. And it's not that no religious figures ever took the side of unions in earlier U.S. history.
The Knights of Labor, the early American Federation of Labor, and even the IWW attracted significant religious allies. Large numbers of clergy and religiously-based lay activists rallied behind the industrial union surge of the 1930s. Yale Divinity School's Liston Pope became a national labor advocate during the '30s and '40s. The Brothers Niebuhr and the Brothers Reuther spoke pretty much the same language—and I don't mean German. During the 1950s and 1960s, civil rights heroes like King and Heschel respected the unions and understood their central political importance despite the strong taint of white racism within craft unionism. They and other religious figures helped progressive unionists begin to turn this racist legacy around to the point that the labor movement eventually became the most racially diverse major institution in American life.
Why the Arm's-Length Relationship?
Explaining why most of American religion walked away from labor during recent decades is a complex matter. For space reasons, I offer some reasons by way of oversimplified bullet points:
An unpleasant aftertaste: As noted above, today's labor movement is tremendously diverse, both ethnically and racially. Women and people of color run some of the biggest unions. But many religious leaders of a certain age are more likely to recall the older exclusionary craft unionism. They remember cranky George Meany and his ever-present cigar. They remember the building trades—Meany's crowd—raining both bricks and brickbats down on an early anti-Vietnam War demonstration in the streets of New York.
A whiff of foreign-ness: From the 1890s onward a huge quantum of trade union energy came from new immigrant groups that brought their social solidarity with them to the new world. Jews and Italians, both already despised and feared, were foremost among these. Think Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. Think Sacco and Vanzetti. So very scary and alien. Imagine trying to kill Henry Clay Frick or blow up the Los Angeles Times building? Surely no real American would attempt crimes like that: everyone knows we don't have home-grown terrorists (ahem).
A whiff of socialism/communism: See above. An allergic reaction to Left ideology has always been a major factor in maintaining a distance between American religionists and American trade unionists. In the minds of many of the faithful, taking collective action to raise a barn is just fine, thank you. Taking collective action to preserve your dignity and make advances at the workplace is an entirely different matter. It smacks of an un-American and vaguely socialist mindset. See below.
A still-active "Protestant Ethic": There's a reason why Max Weber didn't call his big book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Socialism. Weber believed that Calvinists have a particular anxiety about making it on their own, but the historic reality is that most Protestants share this anxiety and share an apprehension about throwing in with their workplace comrades to make things better. Nowhere more so than in these United States. There is also some status anxiety at play, and it too has deep historical and sociological roots. Which is to say, the more that Catholic leaders like New York's legendary John Cardinal Hughes ("Dagger John") would side with immigrant workers and with unions, the more Protestant leaders would elevate their noses and side even more strongly with the bosses. This pattern continued into the second half of the 19th century and beyond. As noted earlier, some Protestants did indeed step out on the workers' side, but they remained a distinct minority. Today the cohort of American religious leaders who side unequivocally with unions is still thick with older Catholics who remember and revere traditional Catholic social teaching (especially Rerum Novarum and Laborem Exercens, pro-union encyclicals issued by Popes Leo XIII and John Paul II respectively). These staunch Catholic friends of labor are usually joined by some liberal Jews and liberal Protestants. But moderate and evangelical Protestants? Among the white ones, not so much. White evangelicals have even been known to create their own entities (e.g., the Christian Labor Association) specifically for the purpose of thwarting labor organizing drives. No one should forget that the powerful and secretive fundamentalist organization called The Family had its roots in anti-unionism. My colleague Peter Montgomery nails the anti-union ideology of a range of religious right groups in his own piece here on RD.
Identity politics among religious liberals: The Christian Century review of Winner Take All Politics quotes the authors' spot-on analysis of progressive religious leaders' conspicuous lack of interest in worker struggles in recent decades. In a word, these leaders had other priorities: women's rights, LGBT issues, environmentalism, etc. "The result," say Hacker and Pierson, "was a boon for the post-materialist causes of more affluent liberals, but it left traditional material causes with only a handful of energetic backers." I couldn't put it any better. In my own work, I am sometimes asked why I, as a gay clergy leader, remain so committed to worker issues. The implication: Don't I know what's really important?
And Now What?
What will be really interesting is to see what comes next. It's never been clearer that without strong unions there can be no effective counterweight to the corporate power that now dominates both national political parties. So will Protestant leaders other than the energetic "handful" cited by Hacker and Pierson finally soften their finicky aversion to trade unionism? The key swing constituencies are Hispanic and African-American evangelicals, who are far more likely to embrace unionism than their white brethren. Faith communities serving immigrant workers and their families completely understand that unions do more than anyone else to offer protection and a better way of life to new Americans.
But even if theologically moderate Protestants begin to swing more toward a pro-union stance, what about other religious groups? Will younger members of the contemporary Jewish community who "live like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans" (in Milton Himmelfarb's still-apt phrase) abandon American Jews' traditional allegiance to trade unionism? Will increasingly affluent Roman Catholics likewise begin to ditch the solidaristic ethic that has meant so much to earlier generations of US Catholics? There is some evidence that growing numbers of white Catholics share at least some of the negative views of unions that more typically characterize white Protestants.
I can't predict what will happen next. I do know that week after week in their worship services, people of faith recall the sufferings of an oppressed workforce that caused JHWH to lead their ancestors out of Pharoah's Egypt. I do know that week after week millions of the faithful break bread and drink wine together and invoke the idea of shared abundance: the common table where all will have enough.
Whether all of this liturgy and preaching ever gets connected to the real world of oppression and want that the unions are specifically constituted to address is anyone's guess. I still take the Gramscian position toward social change: pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will. And I never cease to hope for new light and new energy from the heart of faith around the rights and dignity of working people.

PM refused Trump's call to bomb Iraq after legal advice, Cummings claims
Aggiunto da prem su 28/05/2021
Boris Johnson rejected a call from Donald Trump's White House to participate in airstrikes in Iraq last March after an intervention by the UK government's top legal officer, secondo Dominic Cummings.
The reasoning behind the attorney general's advice was not spelled out by the prime minister's former chief aide during his seven-hour testimony di mercoledì, although a human rights group said the US strikes were illegal under international law.
Trump's request came during "a completely surreal day" on 12 March last year at a time when concerns about coronavirus were escalating in Downing Street, which Cummings said "completely derailed" efforts to deal with the emerging pandemic.
"In the morning of the 12th, All'improvviso, the national security people came in and said Trump wants us to join a bombing campaign in the Middle East tonight," Cummings said – forcing Downing Street to host "two parallel sets" of crisis meetings.
A day before, two Americans and one Briton – L/Cpl Brodie Gillon, a reservist who served as a frontline medic – had been killed at the Camp Taji base in Iraq in a rocket attack, which the US said was carried out by the Iranian proxy group Kataib Hezbollah.
Trump wanted to retaliate swiftly, and the decision whether to join the bombing raids or not took up most of the day, Cummings said, only ending after Suella Braverman persuaded Johnson not to take part, almost certainly on legal grounds.
"Fortunately thank God, the attorney general persuaded the prime minister not to go ahead," Cummings told the joint inquiry by the health and science committees, which is examining the early stages of the Covid pandemic.
The attorney general would be called in to assess whether RAF involvement in any airstrikes would be legal under UK and international law, whether they represented a proportionate response and would not cause undue civilian casualties.
Tensions in the region were still running high, two months after Trump had ordered the assassination of Iran's Gen Qassem Suleimani in Iraq, which had briefly raised fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.
Defence sources said on Thursday there was no need for the UK to join the bombing because the US pressed ahead anyway. "There was lots going on domestically," they added.
On that day, Cummings also said Johnson's partner, Carrie Symonds, was unhappy about a story in the Times on 11 March about "the prime minister and his girlfriend and their dog", which she was "demanding that the press office deal with".
"We had this completely insane situation in which part of the building was saying 'are we going to bomb Iraq?', part of the building was arguing about whether or not we're going to do quarantine or not, and the prime minister has his girlfriend going crackers about something completely trivial," Cummings told MPs.
Gli Stati Uniti went ahead with the bombing raids without British help, targeting at least five sites around Baghdad linked to Kataib Hezbollah, but the human rights group Reprieve said there was insufficient proof that Kataib Hezbollah had carried out the attacks.
Jennifer Gibson, a lawyer with Reprieve, disse: "According to the US's own comments at the time, they didn't have proof the Iranian group, Kataib Hezbollah, carried out the attack on the US base. They just knew the group had previously carried out attacks and so said they were 'likely' to have carried it out."
Although the UK had declined to join in, Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, said on 13 March that it supported them. "The coalition stands shoulder to shoulder in Iraq. When we and others are attacked we reserve the right to defend ourselves."

Run Lola Run (1998)
Starring Franka Potente, Moritz BleibtreuRated R
Screen It! is not attempting to rate the movie as good or bad but to give parents the tools to decide whether it's appropriate for their kids.
This movie has been screened for objectional content in 15 areas. Click for a detailed look.
OUR WORD TO PARENTS:
The following is a brief summary of the content found in this R-rated, subtitled film. Profanity is heavy due to 4 uses of the "f" word, while other profanities and colorful phrases are also present (in English subtitles). Some instances of violence occur, such as a person accidently being shot in the chest and another being struck by a truck (with mild bloody results, plus we never really know whether they survive due to the story's rewind feature). Other more mild violence occurs, including people threatening others with guns. Those moments involve the protagonists' holding up various establishments for money, thus giving them bad attitudes, while a girl's father is having an affair and not only states he won't be coming home, but also belittles his young adult daughter. Some brief drinking and smoking occur, while a few flash frames show a woman and man acting and dressed in S&M outfits. We also see the protagonists in bed together, but don't see any activity or nudity. Beyond that, the remaining categories have little or nothing in the way of major objectionable content. As always, however, should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness, you should take a closer look at the listed content.
For those concerned with repetitive flashes of light, some moments where still images are rapidly shown (like in a full-screen slide show) create such an effect.
QUICK TAKE:
Action/Adventure: A young but determined woman races against time to attain the one hundred thousand marks her boyfriend will owe a gangster in less than twenty minutes.
WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they've heard the positive "buzz" about it, older teens might, but a subtitled German film with a mostly unknown cast won't be drawing huge crowds of kids.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
For some violence and language.
CAST AS ROLE MODELS:
MORITZ BLEIBTREU plays a small-time courier for a gangster who inadvertently loses the money he owes his boss. As such and quite frantic, he holds up a grocery store at gunpoint, cusses some and smokes a few times.
FRANKA POTENTE plays his orange-haired girlfriend who will do anything to help him. As such, she holds up two places at gunpoint and quickly tries to win the earnings in a casino. She also cusses a few times.
HERBERT KNAUP plays Lola's somewhat estranged father who's having an affair and doesn't want to help her.

We see three repeated views of Lola's mother with a drink, and a woman later states that Lola's mother is drunk from morning until night.
We see a split-second image of a woman and her husband who appear to have drinks in their hands and then a similarly brief image of what looks like a homeless man shooting up (heroin or something similar -- but the image is on the screen for a second or less).

We see a cartoon character purposefully trip a cartoon version of Lola who then falls down several flights of stairs and has a brief limp after that.
FRIGHTENING SCENES: MILD
The pulsating techno-pop soundtrack and the film's race against time structure may make some viewers a bit anxious about the proceedings (but not in a horror-film frightened fashion).
In addition, scenes listed under "Violence" may also be suspenseful or unsettling to some viewers.
GUNS/WEAPONS: MODERATE
Handguns: Used by Manni and Lola to rob several places.

Desperately needing money, Manni holds up a grocery store, Lola holds up her father's bank and then goes to a casino trying to make all the money in a quick win.
Since Lola comes off looking so cool, so kids may want to imitate her look (bright pinkish hair, multiple pierced ears and what looks like a tattoo on her belly (only partially seen).
JUMP SCENES: NONE
MUSIC (SCARY/TENSE): MINOR
Some of the techno-pop score occasionally has a somewhat ominous tone to it.
MUSIC (INAPPROPRIATE): NONE

Lola shows some cleavage in her tank-top (that also occasionally shows part of her bra).
We twice see Manni and Lola lying together in bed, but they're only talking and we can't see anything below their shoulders.
We briefly see several split-second images of a woman and a man dressed and acting in an S&M fashion (leather undergarments, etc... -- but it's extremely brief).
SMOKING: MINOR
Manni smokes twice, while Lola and security guard each smoke once.
Lola tells Manni that she went to get some cigarettes and that's why she was late meeting him.
TENSE FAMILY SCENES: MILD
Lola's father is having an affair and not only tells her that he's not coming home, but also calls her various names or says bad things to her (such as "I never fathered a weirdo like you," and he calls her a "cuckoo's egg") and states that he's not her real father.
TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT: MILD
What one would do if faced with a similar predicament (having to raise a lot of cash in very little time).
How one seemingly insignificant event in one's life can (and always does) have major ramifications down the line.
VIOLENCE: MODERATE
We see a brief flashback where Ronnie head-butts Manni.
Two cars repeatedly crash into each other (in different versions of the same event).
Manni repeatedly beats a telephone in a public phone booth.
Lola occasionally screams so loud that various objects about her shatter.
Manni holds up a store at gunpoint and fires several warning shots into the air. When a security guard then holds his gun on Manni, Lola whacks him on the head/back with a heavy bag and grabs his gun. She then accidently fires it and nearly hits that guard who's now on the floor.
A cop accidently fires his weapon and the bullet strikes a person in the chest, sending them falling to the street.
Lola's father smacks her (after she calls his lover a "slut" and a "stupid cow"), causing Lola to throw various objects in his office (including a wall painting) at him.
Lola grabs a security guard's gun and then alternately holds it on him, her father, and a teller in the bank as she robs the place. In one moment, she fires several warning shots into the wall near her father's head.
Lola shoots a security keypad with a gun to get through a locked door at the bank. Moments later, she encounters a SWAT team aiming various weapons at her.

And the journey continued. Next stop was the Kentucky Folk Art Centre in Morehead, Kentucky. Just minutes before I took the photograph of the side of this building Dan had locked the keys in the van. I left him waiting for a friendly local fella to come and help him fix the predicament.
Dan had promised me the museum was a treat and indeed it is. Especially for us visiting they had even installed an exhibition all about the Lee Clay Products Company on the upper floor. I just love this truck, somehow I think I might have to make something along those lines for Gregor.
After this was the start of the last stretch towards Virginia and the place that somehow feels very like home even though this was only to be my second visit there.
We came through some storming weather on that last stretch. Oh yes, this was just after spending almost 25 minutes attempting to buy a couple of stamps at teh post office to send some postcards home. I had no idea it was such a crazy weird thing to ask for, stamps, in the post office? Who'd have thought?
Through the storms and into the clear cool evening.
We arrived having driven from the land where spring had barely started in Minnesota where the trees were leafless but where around every corner was another lake, through the flat lands and tended arable fields somewhere in the middley bit, up into the mountains of West Virginia and finally into the rich green humidity of a Virginian spring coming summer.
Next installment is that of my second home on that lovely old farm outside Fredericksburg.
