Bizarre displays provided the paddock some light relief
Meet Swiss driver Jean-Denis Délétraz, born in Geneva, unfortunately regarded as one of the least impressive drivers in Grand Prix history - despite some success outside of F1. In his three GPs in 1994-95, at the height of an infamous pay driver era, he was the man who found himself caught up in such a whirlwind of bizarre incidents, below-par performances and bad press it was hard for the often too-serious world of F1 not to have been at least slightly amused by it all.
The undeniable truth is that, for whatever reason, Délétraz simply wasn't competitive at the wheel of a Grand Prix car. In all honesty his results reflected somewhat poorly on himself, although his recent GT racing results have redeemed him, and displayed his true talent. But still, most pundits would wonder, for example, whether or not the Winfield School of Driving at Paul Ricard is justified when in the same sentence it names Délétraz alongside Rene Arnoux, Jacques Laffite and Alain Prost as being among their former graduates...
2 wins in Formula Ford, and 3rd overall in French FFord denotes talent
To be fair, though, the early part of Délétraz's career did have promise. Coming 2nd in the 1983 Volant Avia driving school event at La Chatre, he raced Formula Fords in 1984 and 1985, taking 2 wins and 5 podium places. In 1985 he was 3rd overall in French FFord 1600. He then raced in French F3 in 1986, using an unusual Swica/Alfa Romeo chassis, but good results were sorely lacking. In a Ralt/VW he dabbled in French and British F3 in 1987 without success.
Through all this, there was little doubt that Délétraz was well-moneyed. Or at least, he was supposed to be. The number of stories about him failing to pay up, whether true or not, are numerous. Tom Prankerd tells us that at one stage in his F3 days, his mechanics blockaded his red road-going Ferrari 512BB as a protest against unpaid sponsorship. Legend has it that Délétraz got around the problem by turning up at the next race with a different team, and his Ferrari painted powder blue instead!
Back to back podiums in F3000 before he buys himself FIRST
In 1988, Délétraz did a single sports car event in a Porsche 962C at Brands Hatch alongside Giovanni Lavaggi and Antoine Salamin, placing 7th. But his main focus that year was to race in F3000, first with Sport Auto Racing and then GDBA Motorsport in a Lola T88/50 Cosworth. Amazingly, despite 3 DNQs and 3 accidents, he scored consecutive podium 3rd places at Le Mans Bugatti and Zolder to place equal 13th overall with Pierre-Henri Raphanel on 8 points.
However, in 1989 he failed to score any points at all in his FIRST Reynard Judd 89D, his best being a 9th at Dijon. In 1990, he acquired FIRST, and in his 5 outings in F3000 in a Reynard Cosworth 90D managed 2 DNQs, 2 smashes, and a 7th at Donington. In 1991, he himself had three more entries in a Reynard 91D, once again for little by way of good results. Partly due, no doubt, to legal action from the other driver in the team, Giovanni Bonanno, which saw the team impounded at one stage by an Italian court!
Heads to French Touring Cars; his mechanics protest at no pay
In a desperate bid to revive his career, he scratched around for some drives in the French Touring Car Championship in 1992 and 1993, but results of note weren't particularly forthcoming. For 1994 he managed to land a works Seat drive, but unfortunately this wasn't much good against the rampaging Peugeots and Opels. His best result being 5th at Nogaro, he finished up 13th overall in a season when he was usually more standard than stunning.
However, in 1993, during a Porsche Supercup race, Tom Prankerd tells us that the money issue apparently reared its ugly head again, and there was a re-occurrence of the 'mechanics picket' problem, when his crew blocked the track and would not let him out for three laps until he paid them their overdue wages from his F3000 days! Seemingly, it was not the first time Jean-Denis had perhaps defaulted on payment, and going by alleged events during his short-lived F1 career, it wouldn't be the last, either.
Out-performs Mimmo's Simtek on his Grand Prix debut
One can probably safely assume, though, that he wasn't just making up the fact that he had a solid amount of sponsorship money to offer to prospective employers. It was money that looked particularly attractive to the Larrousse Ford F1 team as it headed towards its doom at the end of 1994. As any team in dire financial straits will tell you, loyalty is nothing in F1, and cash is everything. And so for the final round of the year in Australia, out went long-serving stalwart Erik Comas, and in came Délétraz.
With such a modest racing CV, not much was expected of the Swiss newcomer, and the F1 community hardly gave him any notice, in a year when 46 men no less, including a monotonous raft of pay-drivers, took part in Grand Prix racing. So there was some mild surprise in the paddock when Délétraz qualified his car 25th, two seconds slower than David Brabham ahead of him, but just ahead of the better-rated Domenico Schiattarella in the Simtek.
Hits top speeds in the pitlane, but not on the track
However, the race was a different matter altogether. Having been passed by more aggressive Schiattarella by the first corner, he began to progressively fall away from the field, taking an overly conservative approach. He was, as Autosport put it, "staggeringly slow", to the point where he was lapped by Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill on lap 10. In nine laps, he had already fallen behind by some 80 seconds. Maybe, by constantly being lapped by the leaders, it was a way of giving his sponsors some exposure!
Ironically, it was certainly cause for some mirth when he was called in on lap 37 for a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane after his first pit stop - his third speeding penalty of the weekend! Suffice to say, he never got the hang of the pit lane speed limiter. But after his second pit stop, the downshift on his gearbox began to falter, and eventually his Grand Prix debut ended on his 57th lap, by which stage he had already been lapped ten times.
Hear Dr. Jonathan Palmer not being very complimentary about Délétraz's F1 debut at Adelaide.
"Yes Délétraz, really, here having no business in Formula One. And demonstrating it there: he's spending all of his modest effort, frankly, keeping the car on the road."
(MP3 format, 308k, 20 secs)
GT racing yields some decent results: 5th at Le Mans, 3rd at Zhuhai
Not a few people in the paddock who had the nous to ponder such matters were questioning whether or not Délétraz truly merited a place in F1. It came as no surprise when Délétraz found himself back in the wilderness by the start of 1995, and he escaped to sports car racing, the BPR Global GT series in particular, driving a McLaren F1 GTR BMW for Fabien Giroix's team. It must be said that it was ultimately in sports cars that Jean-Denis found his true niche.
Combined with the efforts of his team-mates Giroix and Olivier Grouillard, he managed to come a very honourable 5th at the non-championship Le Mans 24hrs in his McLaren F1 GTR. Délétraz then had another Global GT start at Suzuka with Giroix and Tomiko Yoshikawa, but the car crashed, and before the year was out he came a fine 3rd at Zhuhai with Giroix, scoring a hefty 20 points in the process.
Cash strapped Wiggins calls JDD back to F1
But quite incredibly, during 1995 the allure of Délétraz's sponsorship dollars saw another F1 team come knocking. When Giovanni Lavaggi ended his stint with Keith Wiggins' Pacific Ford outfit, cash-strapped and, like Larrousse previously, in its death-throes as well, Délétraz was called in to fill the seat for the last five races of the year. There is no point denying that finance was almost entirely the reason Jean-Denis was chosen, but that certainly didn't stop our man from having great expectations:
"I am very happy to be returning to Formula One and we will work hard together to make this a competitive end to the season. Although the Pacific team is quite small, they have a lot of motivation and I think everyone knows that Keith Wiggins is determined to make strong progress in Formula One. For me it is a good opportunity to gain more Formula One experience, and to develop a programme which hopefully will lead to my participation in the 1996 Formula One World Championship."
Roebuck not impressed as times are disqualified
Quite a bit of PR-speak there, one suspects, and up and down the pit lane not much was expected of Délétraz's return to Grand Prix racing at the Portuguese round. And unfortunately he did little to change the cynics' opinions. On Friday qualifying at Estoril, he let the revs drop too low at the uphill double-hairpin complex and stalled the car right on the racing line. He needed the marshals to push-start him, and for that his times for the day were disqualified.
Now this happened simply because Délétraz was driving too slowly; whether this was because of inexperience with the car, too conservative an approach, or the fact that he was just plainly struggling, is not known. Regardless, this particular event moved the hardened press corps so much, the straight-talking Nigel Roebuck proclaimed that Délétraz made Lavaggi look "like Nuvolari". Strike one.
Would have qualified 22nd in F3000 support race
Saturday qualifying saw him beset by gearbox problems, and while he kept on talking about making 'progress' as he learnt the car, he ended up qualifying the Pacific dead last, over 12 seconds slower than pole-sitter David Coulthard, more than 5 seconds behind the cumbersome Fortis and almost 7 seconds away from his own team-mate, Andrea Montermini.
His time would have only qualified him 22nd for the F3000 support race. Now, whatever problems Délétraz and the team may have been having with what was admittedly a dog of a car, one can't deny that there was something quite disappointing about that. To add further insult, when the usually-polite Damon Hill was asked for his opinion of Délétraz, he was quoted as saying: "Let's hope he breaks down early in the race." Strike two.
Lasts just 14 laps before left arm cramp
Sadly, Délétraz wasn't making any friends as more and more people overlooked what good results he may have had in other categories and wrote him off as an inept F1 pilot. But perhaps they weren't totally unjustified. After three laps, Délétraz was already 40 seconds behind, and he was lapped after only seven tours. This led Roebuck to scathingly describe Jean-Denis' performance as a "very special interpretation of Grand Prix driving".
Eventually, Délétraz retired after 14 laps with cramp in his left arm. It came as a surprise to himself, especially when it was the first time in his career that he had to retire with a physical problem. But while Estoril's sweepers are undeniably demanding with heavy G-force loadings, it came as a surprise to the rest of the paddock that his cramp was in his left arm, when Estoril was a clock-wise circuit where the right arm does more work. Strike three.
Subject of a beautiful slow-mo replay in Germany
And so the circus came to the European GP. After the horrors of Estoril, it came as a pleasant turnaround that Délétraz was more on the pace at the Nurburgring, for one does not like to see a driver humiliated. In Friday qualifying he posted a time only 9.1 seconds slower than Coulthard who was fastest, a second behind the Fortis and just over 3 seconds adrift of Montermini. Rain meant no improvement was possible on Saturday, although he did tangle with a Tyrrell after a misunderstanding.
In the race, Délétraz toured slowly around at the back, and actually finished in 15th and last place, a notable achievement, albeit 7 laps down. In one moment of glory he was even able to pass Mark Blundell's McLaren for position, but only because the Englishman was struggling around on slick tyres in the wet. At another stage during the race, Délétraz was also the focus of a lovely slow-motion replay ... largely because he was wedged in a raging battle between Schumacher, Hill and Gerhard Berger. One takes the publicity whenever you can get it!
Hear Murray Walker commenting on Jean-Denis' antics at the Nurburgring in 1995.
"And what is Délétraz doing? Does't matter what he's doing!"
(.MP3 format, 148k, 3 secs)
"What IS Délétraz doing?" ask Murray
Apart from that, there was another moment of apparent levity when on one particular lap, having just been lapped by Schumi's Benetton, as he approached the slow Veedol Chicane before the pits, Délétraz began to twitch his car from side to side as he reached the braking area. He then proceeded to lurch to the inside of the track and twitch some more, almost running over a cone on the inside of the corner before continuing on his merry way.
This happened to be captured for posterity by the cameras, and it prompted legendary BBC commentator Murray Walker to ask incredulously "And what is Délétraz doing?" Although such twitching is normally the sign of a puncture or some other mechanical problem, Délétraz's quotes after the race pointed to a rather trouble-free run en route to the chequered flag. If so, then exactly what he was up to remains a mystery!
Gachot returns when Katsumi was denied his license
Still, Délétraz was happy to finish the event, and said that "we have now to make progress in Japan and Australia". But when the championship hit Aida for the Pacific GP, Bertrand Gachot was back in the Pacific car, and Délétraz's F1 tenure was over. Wiggins had actually intended to place Japanese driver Katsumi Yamamoto in the car, but after they couldn't get a superlicence for him, rather than turning back to Jean-Denis they elected to plonk Pacific shareholder Gachot back in instead.
Although Yamamoto was also very much an unknown, it would have been interesting to see whether or not he could have fared any better than Délétraz did. As an aside, it demonstrated just how Euro-centric superlicence requirements were. But the question remained: why had Pacific let Jean-Denis Délétraz go? We'll let Wiggins explain: "He was defaulted on payment and on ability alone we are not prepared to keep him."
Once again goes GT racing, top 10 finishes galore
Needless to say, Délétraz never got his chance to participate full-time in F1 in 1996. But, for all his ungraceful dawdling in F1, it would be unfair not to give him his dues and recognise his achievements in sports cars from 1996 onwards. And so in that year he found refuge again in the BPR Global GT series, and more specifically in Fabien Giroix's team, sponsored by Franck Muller Watches. In a McLaren F1 GTR shared with Giroix and Didier Cottaz, Délétraz was 2nd at Monza and 4th at Jarama.
For Le Mans, Giroix and Délétraz were snapped up by defending champions Kokusai Kaihatsu Racing, and shared another McLaren F1 GTR with Maurizio Sala, but the car retired with engine problems. Back in his own car, Giroix then partnered Délétraz and Ratanakul Prutirat to a 5th and 7th at Suzuka and Zhuhai. These results gave him 80 points and joint 11th overall (with Giroix) in the BPR series, and joint 14th overall (with Cottaz) and 48 points in the BPR European championship.
A fine 2nd at Laguna Seca; 8th at Le Mans for Zakspeed
1997 saw the Giroix outfit switch to Lotus Elise GT1s for the FIA GT championship after the demise of the BPR Global GT series, and Délétraz stayed around to drive the yellow machines. All year Giroix and Délétraz shared the same car, although Prutirat did show up once for the race in Helsinki. Result-wise, things were pretty bleak, not helped by mechanical problems, and the pair failed to qualify at Le Mans. But in the Supreme GT race at Laguna Seca, they did finish a fine 2nd.
1998 was a quiet year and for the most part Délétraz was out of a drive, the somewhat wasted expense of Giroix's team running the uncompetitive Lotuses the previous year taking its toll. However both Jean-Denis and Fabien were picked up by Zakspeed to try to pre-qualify a Zakspeed Porsche 911 GT1-98 at Le Mans, but they didn't make the race. Zakspeed kept them for the race at Suzuka, though, where they were joined by veteran Armin Hahne, and they finished 8th.
Ice racing vs tennis stars; a season of ISRS for Autosport Racing
That year, Délétraz also tried his hand at ice racing in the unique Chamonix 24hr event, as part of the Andros Ice Racing Trophy, sharing a Foca Volt Peugeot 306 with Pierre Bennehard. He came up against ex-F1 stars such as Arnoux, Laffite, and even Nigel Mansell, and rallying stars such as Ari Vatanen and Jean Ragnotti, as well as tennis star Henri Leconte. Délétraz and Bennehard, though, did not score enough points during the event to finish in the top 14.
Then in 1999, Délétraz participated in the International Sports Racing Series, joining Enzo Calderari and Lilian Bryner in a yellow Autosport Racing Ferrari 333SP in three races, coming 8th at Donington and the Nurburgring. However, maintaining his ties with Giroix, at the end of the year the two of them finalised the deal to take over the reborn FIRST team to run the new Ferrari 550 Maranellos in the 2000 FIA GT championship.
Trouble at FIRST as they ready a new the Ferrari Maranello
When the 2000 FIA GT season came around, there were rumours of a disagreement between Giroix and Délétraz as to operations within their FIRST Racing team. They stayed together but it was not a smooth year, as they withdrew their brand new Ferrari 550 Maranello from the Monza and Silverstone rounds of the FIA GT Championship, preferring to concentrate on developing the car which they hoped to have ready by the fifth round at Budapest.
At Valencia the car made it only 14 laps before retiring, and at the return to Monza it lasted only 9 laps. There have been further failures to finish at Zolder and Brno, and at the Lausitzring they were once again a no-show. At the final race of the year at Magny-Cours, the car failed to complete a single lap after transmission problems. Clearly this was a case of a car in its developmental infancy and experiencing the teething troubles to go with it.
VW fails at Le Mans in an ROC Reynard
Yet the experienced Délétraz was still something of a wanted man, and for the Le Mans 24hrs that year he was taken aboard by the ROC team, exchanging his troublesome Ferrari driving a Reynard 2KQ-LM prototype with a Volkswagen engine, sharing it with Ralf Kelleners and David Terrien. But the Telefonica-sponsored machine was an early casualty and failed to finish after an engine failure.
Licking their wounds after their difficult results in 2000, in 2001 Giroix and Délétraz decided to take a sabbatical and keep their Ferrari out of the FIA GT championship. Instead, they were thought to be working towards something else, possibly either an entry in the Porsche SuperCup, or the new German V8Star silhouette series. Even so, another Le Mans opportunity came up, again for the ROC team, in an updated Reynard 01Q-LM prototype still with a Volkswagen engine.
Joins Gene and Fabre for superb class victory at Le Mans
Paired with Williams tester Marc Gené's brother Jordi Gené, and ex-AGS driver and fellow F1 reject Pascal Fabre, Délétraz finished 37 laps down on the winning Audi, coming 5th overall and winning the LMP675 class, having outlasted their rivals, including the more favoured MGs. This led to a drive in the renamed Noel del Bello Racing team at the Sebring 12hrs in 2002, a round of the ALMS, but Délétraz and team-mates Christophe Pillon and Mark Smithson retired after 134 laps with engine failure.
But in the main, 2002 saw Délétraz return to the FIA GT championship, and back behind the wheel of a Ferrari 550 Maranello, this time for the BMS Scuderia Italia team, and alongside Andrea Piccini. After a 6th place at Magny-Cours and two retirements at Silverstone and Brno (where Tomas Enge also joined them), there followed a hat-trick of sensational victories at Jarama, Anderstorp and Oschersleben, the car having also started from pole at Jarama after Piccini had won the qualifying race.
Piccini and JDD blitzes the FIA GT, racking up 4 victories
Hopes were high for the Spa 24hrs, where Piccini and Délétraz were joined by Lilian Bryner and Marco Zadra, but after starting from pole again the car retired after 94 laps with engine failure. More engine problems sidelined the car at Donington, and at Enna Piccini and Délétraz were classified 20th despite having crashed out. But at the season finale at Estoril, once again from pole they dominated to take their 4th victory of the season, leaving them 5th overall in the standings with 41 points.
There was also another start at Le Mans, where Délétraz returned to the Noel del Bello outfit and their Reynard 2KQ Volkswagen, exactly the same car he had driven at Sebring. With Pillon once again, but this time partnered also by Walter Lechner Jr, Jean-Denis didn't have quite as great a run as he did the year before. But despite only finishing in 19th place outright, some 57 laps behind the winner, Délétraz once again took out the LMP675 class.
Taking sportscars by Storm, with four top-5 results
After their victories in the 2002 FIA GT championship, Piccini and Délétraz were quickly snapped up by the works Lister team to drive their easily-identifiable black Lister Storm in 2003. But in an amazing season opening that saw Thomas Biagi and Matteo Bobbi walk away with the first five rounds, Andrea and Jean-Denis only managed results of 4th, 3rd, 5th, 2nd and 13th. Heading towards Le Mans, Délétraz was set to drive for the Lister team as they debuted their Lister Storm prototype.
Délétraz even tested the car in early May with Jamie Campbell-Walter and Nathan Kinch, but come the actual 24hr race, Vincent Vosse had replaced Délétraz after a last-minute contractual dispute. The fracas saw Délétraz out of the FIA GT team as well, replaced by Belgian David Sterckx. After his late surge of sports car successes following the embarrassment of F1, Délétraz's career is at the crossroads again. On a personal note, Jean-Denis is married, and has one child.

WASHINGTON (BP) -- North Korea remains the most dangerous country in which to follow Jesus, and Islamic extremism continues to be a dominating factor in the persecution of Christians around the world, according to a new report.
The annual study by Open Doors announced Wednesday (Jan. 8) ranked North Korea as the world's top persecutor of Christians for the 12th consecutive year. Meanwhile, the report showed Islamic extremism is the driving force for Christian persecution in 36 of the 50 countries at the top of Open Doors' World Watch List.
Open Doors, which seeks to strengthen the persecuted church overseas, named these countries as the top 10 persecutors of followers of Christ in 2013: (1) North Korea; (2) Somalia; (3) Syria; (4) Iraq; (5) Afghanistan; (6) Saudi Arabia; (7) Maldives; (8) Pakistan; (9) Iran; and (10) Yemen.
North Korea far outdistanced all other countries with a score of 90 on Open Doors' list. The other top 10 countries -- led by Somalia, with a score of 80 as the runner-up to North Korea -- all evidenced Islamic extremism as a source for their repressive treatment of Christians.
During the same time, Syria led in the number of Christian martyrs with 1,213, Open Doors reported. Nigeria was second with 612. Those two countries ranked far above all others in the number of Christians martyred for their faith.
Southern Baptist public policy specialist Barrett Duke described the report as "deeply troubling."
"Christians are facing irrational, hate-filled persecution just for being Christian," said Duke, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission's vice president for public policy and research. "These are our brothers and sisters in Christ."
Followers of Jesus in the United States can help their persecuted, fellow Christians, Duke told Baptist Press in a written statement.
"We must pray more fervently on their behalf," he said. "We must also urge our government to do everything in its power to intervene to protect these vulnerable communities. Christians can start by urging President Obama to fill the still-vacant office of ambassador-at-large for religious freedom at the State Department. The Senate can start by passing the Near East and South Central Asia Religious Freedom Act of 2013, which will create a special envoy for religious freedom to focus on many of the places where Christians are facing the worst persecution for their faith.
"The church in America must not be silent. Our brothers and sisters in the Lord need us to speak up on their behalf," Duke said.
Open Doors USA President David Curry called the report "a wake-up call to Americans to become more aware of these atrocities and restrictions on religious freedom."
"Often completely unaddressed in the West is the fact that Christians are the largest persecuted minority in the world," Curry said in a written release. The countries on the World Watch List "are targeting Christians; imprisoning, punishing, and even in some cases murdering people who choose to express privately or publicly their Christian faith."
In its report, Open Doors pointed to increased persecution in countries described as "failed." A failed country, according to the organization, is "a weak state where social and political structures have collapsed to the point where government has little or no control."
Six of the top 10 persecutors, Open Doors reported, are classified as failed countries: Somalia; Syria; Iraq; Afghanistan; Pakistan; and Yemen.
North Korea, which practices communism and the cult-like worship of the ruling Kim family, continues to imprison from 50,000 to 70,000 followers of Christ in concentration camps, prisons or prison-like conditions, according to Open Doors. Possessing a Bible could result in execution or a life sentence in prison.
The countries that rose most dramatically in Christian persecution were the Central African Republic, which was not on the list last year but is No. 16 this year; Colombia, which moved from No. 46 to No. 25; and Sri Lanka, which is No. 29 after not being on the list in 2013.
The West African country of Mali showed the most improvement, dropping from No. 7 to No. 33 after the French military halted the threat of an Islamic takeover.
The rankings, which Open Doors began compiling in 1991, are based on not only violence against Christians but the degree of pressure in private life, family life, congregational life, community life and national life.
The list of 50 countries may be viewed online at http://www.worldwatchlist.us/.
The U.S. State Department compiles a list of the world's most severe violators of religious freedom regardless of the faith being targeted. Its "countries of particular concern" (CPCs) are Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Uzbekistan. The State Department, which is required to designate CPCs each year, has not done so since September 2011.

Flames can be seen from the air after an explosion happened at the sight of a train derailment in southern Jefferson County, just south of Louisville, Ky, Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012. (AP Photo/The Courier-Journal, Sam Upshaw)
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A chemical fire was still burning early Thursday after an explosion at the site of a train derailment in central Kentucky that forced the evacuation of hundreds of people, including an entire small town.
Metro Louisville Emergency Management spokeswoman Jodie Duncan said hundreds remained evacuated, including those from the town of West Point and people from nearby Louisville.
The evacuation order came after a cutting torch ignited vapors Wednesday while workers tried to separate two rail cars from an earlier derailment. The vapors were from a colorless, flammable gas called butadiene.
Three workers were taken to the University of Louisville hospital with severe burns. Authorities have not released the names of the injured workers but said one was in very critical condition, another in critical condition and the third in serious condition.
"The workers that are here are highly trained and this is one of those freak accidents that occurs unfortunately," Lt. Col. Rick Harrison, assistant chief with the suburban Buechel Fire Department said.
Authorities were letting the fire burn itself out, but couldn't offer a timetable on how long that would take. On Wednesday, they had predicted it would be out in a couple of hours.
"Fire can be unpredictable," Duncan said Thursday morning. "We just don't know how long it's going to take to burn out."
She said the evacuation order would stay in place until the blaze was extinguished.
Firefighters continued spraying water onto the butadiene car and adjacent cars carrying hydrogen fluoride Thursday in order to cool them. Officials had been concerned that the fire could spread, but Duncan said the hydrogen fluoride cars were now cool to the touch.
The Paducah & Louisville Railway train derailed Monday morning near Dixie Highway. Nine of the 13 derailed cars were carrying hazardous chemicals.
Residents within a 1.2 mile radius of the wreck were evacuated Wednesday after the gas caught fire, sending up flames and thick, black smoke. Those living within a 5-mile radius were ordered to stay indoors. Also, three local schools within the areas of the evacuation or shelter-in-place orders were closed Thursday.

Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brian Burke is convinced a good hug may go a long way to curbing a constant safety issue in the NHL - hitting from behind.
Burke is lobbying the league to allow what he calls a "bear hug," where a player, usually a defenseman, is allowed to wrap his arms around the targeted player, for a fleeting moment, while he takes him into the boards.
Burke says this change would avoid the "billiard-ball" force hits that exist now where all of the force is transferred directly from the "hitter" to the "hittee."
The Leafs General Manager cites Lightning defenceman Matt Lashoff's hit Wednesday night on Pittsburgh's Ruslan Fedotenko as a timely example.
According to Burke, once Lashoff committed to the hit, he didn't have time to turn out of it. However, had he been able to hold on to Fedotenko, even for a split second, the threat of injury would have been greatly reduced.
Burke has pitched this idea before and the league admits it may be time to take another look at it.
Although there are no definite plans, sources say NHL hockey operations will ask general managers if it's time to have a research and development camp.
The last such camp was held in Toronto in June of 2005, focusing on bigger nets and the elimination of the red-line. Bigger nets didn't fly, but the red-line rule did.
If the managers see merit in a similar camp, at least one GM wants to discuss bringing the red-line back into play.
Burke doesn't believe that will happen, however he says removing the red-line has resulted in a reduction in skill as some teams simply bank the puck off the glass and out of their zone, hoping a play develops before the offensive blueline.
Burke would like to see the ringette line - located at the top of the faceoff circle - brought into play, forcing teams in transition to advance the puck past this line before a stretch pass can be made.
A hybrid form of icing, whereby the forward beats the defenseman to the hash marks, eliminating icing, is also something Burke intends to push for.

Flickr Find: Korean Soup Pots
Like Sara Kate said in a recent Kitchn email, soup is universal. It's an essential element of nearly every world cuisine, and we love learning more about how people eat soup in their own culture. Here's a shot from the streets of Korea: gukbap soup pots that simmer 24-7!
The photographer says that this soup shop is open 24 hours a day, and that these traditional Korean soup pots never stop cooking! They serve gukbap, soup and rice.

The photo on the top also says that you can order for take out and a bowl of soup costs KWR 2,500 ($1.78 converted at today's spot exchange rate). You have to remember that the portion is generally extremely generous when it comes to soup in Korea and you'll literally dunk a bowl of steamed rice into it and eat them together like porridge!
BTW, those cast iron pots were also used to make rice in the way back (before families become smaller in size), which formed wonderful crunchy rice crust on the bottom of the pot!
true j-dubz!
my Korean friend and I went out to a Korean restaurant and she told me in her family they would all fight over who gets the crunchy rice crust!
My mom was kind enough to recently bequeath me a cast iron hot pot for tofu, kimchee and fermented soy soups and stews. Should work well for other culture's recipes too. And rice cooked inside is indeed a treat...pour in a little water and drink/eat it up for a delicious rice based "soup".
FYI: those of you interested in the cuisine and history of Korean cooking might find Michael J. Pettid's book "Korean Cuisine: An Illustrated History" as fascinating as I did (I'm an American born Korean who grew into his love of his own culinary heritage)

Quatech Enhances Product Line with SocketSerial Purchase
Quatech announced the Quatech purchase of SocketSerial, a business unit of Socket Mobile Inc. selling SocketSerial branded connectivity devices for laptops and handheld computers. Quatech intends to continue to offer the SocketSerial product line worldwide through general two-tier distribution channels under the SocketSerial brand.
Founded in 1983, Quatech is the leading supplier in high performance connectivity solutions for mobile computing, industrial laptops and handheld computers with a broad range of interface adapters. Quatech released the PCMCIA product line in 1994 and today offers more choices in serial I/O PC cards than any other manufacturer. As laptop and handheld technology evolves, Quatech continues to offer the next generation interfaces in mobile connectivity by connecting high-bandwidth peripherals through PCMCIA and ExpressCards slots and USB to Serial Adapters. Offering options including multiport RS-232/422/485 serial and parallel configurations, Quatech laptop and handheld products are widely used in medical, transportation, industrial and telecommunication applications.
SocketSerial, an innovator in serial device technology for mobile platforms, has manufactured serial communications peripherals for notebooks, PDAs and tablets since 1993. Since then, Socket Mobile, through its SocketSerial business unit, has continued to be one of the top two leading suppliers, alongside Quatech, in serial peripheral technology. This acquisition by Quatech combines the technical and support strengths of two of the leading and longtime providers of connectivity solutions into a single organization.
"We are very excited about merging the top two leading lines of serial peripheral technology for mobile users," Quatech President and CEO Steve Runkel said. "With the addition of the SocketSerial branded product line, Quatech continues to seamlessly integrate a wide range of devices and peripherals, providing reliable solutions for today's mobile computer systems."
Quatech, a company dedicated for 26 years to the highest level of performance through quality design and manufacturing, and world-class service and support, is committed to delivering SocketSerial customers with the same excellent service. "Our goal is to make the integration of SocketSerial to Quatech ownership a positive transition for the customers." Runkel said. Under Quatech ownership, customers will have several avenues of customer support including a live chat and advanced support and download pages for customer support documentation needs.

Preparing your home for the colder weather months is cost-effective and better for the environment. Here are just a few tips offered by the Department of Energy to help you this cold-weather season:
* Insulate your "envelope" - Sealing and insulating the "envelope" or "shell" of your home — its outer walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and floors — is often the most cost effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort. ENERGY STAR estimates that a knowledgeable homeowner or skilled contractor can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% on their total annual energy bill) by sealing and insulating.
* Insulate your water heater - Put an insulation wrap around the sides of your water heater. (But remember: Never put insulation on the top of the heater or near the bottom.)
* Seal air leaks - Warm air leaking into your home during the summer and out of your home during the winter can waste a lot of your energy dollars. One of the quickest dollar-saving tasks you can do is caulk, seal, and weatherstrip all seams, cracks, and openings to the outside. You can save on your heating and cooling bill by reducing the air leaks in your home.
- Tips for Sealing Air Leaks
* Replace old equipment when possible - Replacing your old heating and cooling equipment with new, energy-efficient models is a great start. But to make sure that you get the best performance, the new equipment must be properly installed. In fact, improper installation can reduce system efficiency by up to 30 percent — costing you more on your utility bills and possibly shortening the equipment's life.

The Cinnamon Bear: An Annual Holiday Tradition
Published on - November 29th, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
This is a rare "re-run" at Get Rich Slowly. Because I love The Cinnamon Bear so much, I plan to post this every year on the 29th of November. If you have young children — and even if you don't — I encourage you to listen to these old radio broadcasts with your family.
Holiday traditions don't have to be expensive. Some of the best traditions don't cost anything at all.
When I was a boy, Christmas meant The Cinnamon Bear. During the weeks before Christmas, a Portland radio station (KEX) would broadcast a fifteen minute episode of this story every night. The Cinnamon Bear chronicles the adventures of Judy and Jimmy, and their fantastic trip through Maybeland as they search for the missing Silver Star that belongs atop their Christmas tree.
I loved the cast of characters and the exotic locales: the Root Beer Ocean and the Inkaboos, the Wintergreen Witch, the Looking Glass Valley, the Crazy Quilt Dragon. And, of course, I loved Santa Claus and the North Pole. I believe that The Cinnamon Bear sparked within me a lifelong love of fantasy and science fiction.
Because of the vagaries of copyright law, most old-time radio broadcasts are now in the Public Domain. The Cinnamon Bear is freely distributable. Some radio stations still broadcast the show every year. But don't worry about hunting for it: I've gathered all of the episodes here for you to download:
The Cinnamon Bear, episode one: "Paddy O' Cinnamon"

When I was a boy, my brothers and I huddled around the wood stove and listened to the show on AM radio. Now, through the magic of technology, you can download these mp3s, curl up under your electric blanket, and listen on your iPod. Better yet, tuck your children into bed and listen to the story with them. This is a wonderful no-cost holiday tradition.
This article is about Odds and Ends
Oh, J.D…. thank you so much! Cinnamon Bear was a HUGE part of my childhood, one I thought was gone forever. (Frankly, am near tears.) My dad always managed to time at least one episode while we were on our way to Peacock Lane.
-cat, portlander in exile
This is a great story. I had heard it once before. I had never thought of making it a holiday tradition but this is as good as any that I have heard.
Thank you…I love this!
Just went to my local library's website and tried to reserve it — but the CD version is missing!!!!!
I find it amazing that "The Cinnamon Bear" is touted as a "grand Portland tradition". My mother's fifty-five, grew up in Portland, and we'd never even heard of it until last year.
*Real* Portland traditions, also cheap and fun: Peacock Lane, Meier & Frank's display windows downtown, the Christmas ships, cutting your own tree in the Mt. Hood National Forest.
Thanks for this! They used to play this for us in grade school back in the early 80′s. I always wanted to share it with other people but I could never remember the name of the program
My father was born in 1931 and grew up with the Cinnamon Bear. He passed that on to his children and I have a beloved set of cassette tapes of the show.
I am happy to be able to retire the tapes and replace them with MP3s. Thanks so much for the link!
My daughter, who's 37, just sent this link to me. Neither of us live in Portland anymore (and miss it a lot!)
Thank you, and thanks for making Cinnamon Bear an on-going part of our Christmas. Can't wait until next Nov 29th.
[...] Get Rich Slowly, a blog that I follow occasionally, has posted all of the episodes (which are now in public domain) for free download. Listening to The Cinnamon Bear at Christmas time is a tradition that I still vividly remember and I hope that Blaise cherishes this story as much as I do. [...]
I grew up in Portland in the 1960s and 1970s, and I remember listening to the Cinnamon Bear–mostly because my mom, who remembered it from the 1940s and 1950s, insisted we listen to it.
What a lovely tradition! It's great when you can share things like this with your family. For me, when I was a kid, I loved watching "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" with my brother and sister I passed this on to my kids and they love it when I make hot cocoa and pop in the DVD set of the Original Christmas Classics (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Frosty the Snowman, just to name a few). You can get this limited keepsake edition set at any place that sells DVDs, and it even comes with a bonus music CD! You can also get it at http://www.christmasclassics.tv. I work with Classic Media, and it's become a lovely tradition in my family, although my kids have taken more to Frosty the Snowman! Also minimal cost and will last for years!
Thank you for sharing
JD thanks so much for posting this. Being on the east coast I'd never heard of it, but my family and I sat around the "radio" tonite listening to the first episode. My sons are 8 and 6 and they can't wait for tomorrow night!
Wow – thank you so much for sharing this!
Thanks JD, my kids are going to LOVE this!
Thanks for these MP3s. I actually have never heard of this (grew up in the Chicago area…still live there now) but it sounds like a fantastic story to share with my daughter.
My fondest memory of Christmas time has always been watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. Its my absolute favorite Christmas thing and I've only missed it a couple of times in my 37 years Hopefully my kids will also have fond memories of watching it as well.
It might just be my computer, but the link is not working.
My wife heard of this 2 years ago when a local college radio station played it before Christmas and fell in love with it. She jumped up and down when I e-mailed her a link to here. Thanks!
sounds delicious!
This is lovely – I got sucked right in. Thank you so much for posting it!
Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories for my wife and me.
Since I grew up in Western New York I'd never heard of the story, but when I read the description all I could think of was the YouTube video of Charlie the Unicorn and his journey to Candy Mountain.
I grew up listening to the Cinnamon Bear on KEX every Christmas. Do you remember Mr. Moon on KOIN tv? I would really like to see that program. I am pretty sure the production values by today's standards were very limited. But he sure impressed me. I always did what he told good little boys and girls to do.
A Canadian parallel, of sorts; CBC radio (the National radio service) always broadcasts Alan Maitland's reading of "The Shepherd" on Christmas Eve, or sometimes on the 23rd.
The story isn't religious; it's an old fashioned Christmas ghost story set in the 50′s, about a lost fighter pilot who's guided to safety by someone flying an old WWII fighter. Creepy and sentimental, and a major part of Christmas with my dad.
[...] The Cinnamon Bear: An Annual Holiday Tradition This is a fantastic frugal way to celebrate Christmas. I've saved this to my own computer so we can listen to it in future years at home. (@ get rich slowly) [...]
[...] for an annual holiday tradition that your family can enjoy together? Get Rich Slowly has an intriguing post about the Cinnamon Bear radio series from the [...]
Thanks so much for posting this. My 2 kids (6 and 10) have been listening to an episode a night since you posted it. We all are really enjoying it.
Would like to receive more details from "jrochest" regarding the CBC parallel story: Alan Maitland's "The Shepherd". I grew up with the Cinnamon Bear on a Chicago radio station in the 40′s and 50′s. I just completed downloading all 26 episodes in mp3 format. Thank you J.D. The program was sponsored by a department store. I think the name was Wieboldts in Chicago. Can't recall the station's call letters. What a wonderful discovery for this Holiday Season.
Thank you so much for posting this. My kid LOVED it. I hope you'll post this again next year for people who didn't see it this year.
Thank you J.D. …this is truly fantastic.
We lived in a Chicago suburb in the 40′s and I remember racing home from Christmas shopping to listen to these episodes with my sisters. It was a great experience and I have recalled some of the names and episodes over the years. Thanks to you they now are living again. I'm a Neuroscientist and am convinced that those early radio experiences helped our minds to be creative as we imagined the images that had to accompany these extraordinary adventures. Unlike the passive experience of television.
Kenneth Leroy (#27 above) is correct…the adventures were sponsored by Wieboldt's Department Store.
Thank you so much for posting these links! I have very vivid childhood memories of listening to these programs and of going to Meier & Frank to sit on the lap of the Cinnamon Bear after walking through the Alpenrose Dairy Christmas display. I'm thrilled to be able to pass on this holiday tradition to my boys!
I can't believe I found this. My 4th grade teacher played this for us in class! I loved it and have been trying to figure out where to find it for the longest time!
I would like to purchase a complete copy of the Cinnamon Bear Story as shown in TV in the 1940′s in VHS or DVD.
From another Portland girl who grew up in the 40′s and 50′s, Thanks!! I always loved the final few episodes that took place at the North Pole.
Thank you thank you!
My dad will be extremely happy to find this under the tree tomorrow. Growing up in lake oswego, he remembers this story every year very fondly.
Hi are the tv shows available on vhs or dvd?my mom talked about watching the show when she was a kid.Thank you
Thank you so so much for the Cinnamon Bear! Our grade school played it every Christmas over the load speakers so everyone could hear, it was always the highlight of the year. Now I can share this with my nephew and bring back great memories with my friends and family. Thank you for sharing!
I'm 82 and still remember the show. I easily recall listening to it when I was 6. Thanks for putting it all in one place.

Care to join me? I'm still in recovery from the Tiger Woods self-cleansing. Which, by the way, was followed up by a presumptuous warning from his goon of a caddie. Steve Williams sent out a growling message that "there will be no heckling" when His Majesty returns to the golf course.Which brings to mind the question: Where was the big stiff while Woods was playing the bedroom Romeo? And I add: One of Woods' most annoying features on the tour was the presence of the surly caddie. Get rid of him, and the air clears swiftly. In case you missed it, I chortled at the line from the Sawgrass PGA Tour office, issued the day of Tiger Woods' performance. It read: "The Tiger Woods hubbub is not expected to delay tee times at Sawgrass." Gee, how thoughtful. Begging clarification: A news release reported that after his recital, "Tiger spent some time with his family." Would I be too brash to ask: Which family? Where? From what I read, Elin was having lunch at a Thai restaurant, accompanied by one of her children. Bet you never expected ever to see as much curling as you have during these Olympics. Suddenly, it burst upon the scene, elbowing the evening news off the screen. Say this, though, those women curlers are the prettiest athletes in the competition. Beauties, matter of fact, especially the Scandinavians. Question of the day: Whatever became of the once close friendship of Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara? Once inseparable. Tiger was O'Meara's plane ticket. "I haven't seen much of him the last three years," O'Meara told an interviewer. Yes, the Golf Writers Association boycotted the staged recital Woods gave, and I was one of the past presidents who voted for it. Hey, had you noticed? There's David Duval standing at No. 8 in the Ryder Cup standings. Something cooking there. Furman Bisher is one of the deans of American sports writing. The long-time Atlanta sports journalist is a member of the Georgia and Atlanta Sports Halls of Fame and in addition to his newspaper writing has authored multiple books on major figures likes Hank Aaron and Arnold Palmer. He writes periodic columns for the Daily Post.

Prick Teaser?
A few guys have called me a prick teaser. I thought it was good to get a guy all turned on and then leave him wanting more. Won't that make him more interested in me?
What's Your Opinion?

Sometimes but be careful with who you do that with. Some girls end up raped or dead because they do what you do. Just a warning that it could happen. Anyhow, being a tease is effective if you intend to follow through eventually. Just be careful.

Ironic this one and then also the other post about expressing your body ^_^Anyways, as far as this question - guys that are looking for a "one night fling" etc like having a nice lookin female in their grasp - most guys think of it as a "power-trip"Honestly, if you were to come to my home town, guys wouldn't like that so much - we find it to be old and annoying.. its something you do in middleschool and highschool maybe - but after that, you're just lining yourself up for a bad future ;;I'm against it, but I won't tell you to stop. Keep in mind the fact that you should be extra safe, there are people that have sick minds and couldn't hurt you -- but hell, I'm not your mother or father so do what you want ^_^If there's anything else I can answer let me know~ArtistBBoy
No it won't, it will make him resent you and he'll think of you as a tease, which is NOT good.
No, it's frustrating and infuriating.A "tease" is probably amongst the worst terms I could call a woman.And if a girl seems like she could possibly be a tease, I leave her alone like I never met her.
Only if you're looking for a hook-up. Good luck finding a relationship that way though, because I don't think it's likely.

Girls like to do it but men hate it. For men if your going to tease you better put out. They just don't like you getting them worked up and than nothing in the end...You know there are other ways you can tease without it being sexual and still have fun and he doesn't end up all frustrated...
where I am from you would be called a "blue baller" because you probably leave guys in that predicament frequently. not cool.
