One of the biggest questions awaiting an answer from the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500 Sunday is "Can he do it?"
Helio Castroneves is sitting in the catbird seat in his quest to become the fourth four-time winner. The pole-sitter could join A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears in a unique club at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Mears was the last driver to earn four wins, the last in 1991. Ironically, Mears works very closely with Castroneves during races.
"I stopped telling him things weeks ago," Mears jokes.
Castroneves said, "To be successful here, you've got to have a lot of combinations of things. First of all you got to have the team. You have to have a fast car and you need to be comfortable in that car. The track is fast, and when you see four corners that look the same, they're not. And you have to be patient to be good here, and don't try to think so much you can get yourself in trouble."
A little luck is always nice, he added.
Castroneves' quest is just one of many dramas to be played out on race day. One of the series' strongest and toughest competitors, Tony Kanaan will start in 33rd slot on the grid. In his eight previous starts, he has never began the race lower sixth. Kanaan qualified 32nd, but the Andretti Autosport team repaired the original car, believing it to be the better car. Going from 32nd to 33rd, means little to Kanaan. "There is nothing good about starting in the back," Kanaan said.
In spite of his troubles, Kanaan is confident in his team. "The team, it's one of the most winning teams in IndyCar. We're not lacking anything. We're behind and we're going to work for it.
Kanaan knows the challenge ahead of him and puts it into perspective with time management. "I've been leading the race and look up and see there are still 120 laps to go, and I think 'Oh, no we got 120 to go.' This year, I will be too busy working my way through to think about that."
Kanaan was quick to point out that the car that starts last is not always the worst car in the field. "That's not the case here. I have no doubt that I can do it. I can tell you from experience that where you start does not dictate where you finish here."
For the first time in history, four women will start the Indy 500, two veterans and two rookies. Ana Beatriz made it to the top 24 on Pole Day. She was the fastest rookie of that day with her qualifying speed of 224.243. She was thrilled then and is still in the euphoria of being steps closer to realizing her dream of winning Indy.
Beatriz competed in the Indy Lights series, running two Freedom 100s at Indy, but Sunday is a whole different situation for her. "You have to think of so much more. The IndyCar has so much more speed. It's a bigger car, heavier car," Beatriz said.
Simona de Silvestro will start 22nd in her first Indy 500. The 21-year-old from Switzerland previously competed in the Atlantic Championship where she won four times in 2009.
Former Rookies of the Year, Danica Patrick and Sarah Fisher will start in the 23rd and 29th slots, respectively. Patrick battled an ill-handling car during qualifications, but feels differently about her race day. "As opposed to just doing four laps as fast as you can, in the race you have strategy and pit stops and all of those other things that make a difference."
Although not the oldest driver, John Andretti has the most starts of any driver in the field. Andretti starts his 10th Indy 500 spanning from his rookie year in 1988 to today. Richard Petty Racing and Andretti Autosport teamed up to put him in the field in the 28th spot. In 1991, Andretti finished fifth, his best to date. Of all of the drivers, Andretti probably has one of the most reverent attitudes about the speedway.
In his rookie season, Andretti lost engines in two cars before finally making the field. He said he felt he deserved to be in the field. As he looks back, he thinks differently.
"I came to realize that when my dad [Aldo] came up to shake my hand, here's someone who really deserved to be here and never got that. At that point you realize this place is really special," Andretti said.
Andretti will be contending with something else this year. For the first time the Overtake Assist "Push to Pass" will be available to drivers during the race. The Overtake Assist adds 200 RPMs to a car. Each track is different, but for Indy drivers will have 15 uses that last for 18 seconds. Each time the button is used, it takes 10 seconds to reset.
Kansas was Andretti's first opportunity to use the system.
"You kind of have an old dog that rolls over one way," he said. "That's why I did Kansas so I could get used to things. I think it could be really critical here."
The "Push to Pass" is often used as a defensive device, but Andretti said that eventually that offense and defense goes away.
In addition to Beatriz and de Silvestro, four other rookies join the field. Bertrand Baguette, Mario Romancini, former Formula One driver Takuma Sato and 19-year-old Sebastian Saavedra.
Saavedra found out he would start his first Indianapolis 500 from a hospital room. After a crash on Bump Day, Saavedra was sure he was out. Team owner Bryan Herta called him with the surprising but good news.
"It is the most amazing turn of events. You don't know what this meant to our team because we put everything on the line to make this race."
This is the first foray into the Indianapolis 500 for Bryan Herta Autosport.
As always, veterans starting toward the rear of the field are concerned about the start.
"The start is kind of wild," said Fisher. "We just see if everybody wakes up on Sunday."
This year's field average at 224.974 is the fastest since 2002 which was 228.648, the fastest ever, but this is the closest field by time. Just 3.0622 seconds separate Castroneves, the fastest, and Saavedra, the slowest.
Besides Castroneves, Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti and Dan Wheldon are all former winners in the field. Between the four of them, they have tallied seven victories.
Public gates open at 6 a.m. Legendary actor Jack Nicholson will waive the green flag at 1 p.m.

Trackside: Valley race fans should be happy
Whether your preference is non-wing sprint cars or late-model stock cars, this is the week that Wabash Valley race fans look forward to all summer.
The best of the best is the only way to describe what will unfold this week at Valley ovals. First comes the continuation of the popular UMP Summer National "Hell Week" tour for late models and its annual stop at Terre Haute Action Track tonight. USAC's Indiana Sprint Week opens later this weekend with stops at Gas City on Friday night, Kokomo on Saturday and Lawrenceburg on Sunday evening.
Metro sports: Pounds among winners at Crossroads Dragway
Ron Pound was one of the winners in Crossroads Dragway racing on Saturday.
Trackside: Rising costs make Valley racing more difficult than ever
The life and times of your weekly short-track racer has long lived up to the colorful and exciting ways coveted by those in the stands who gather each weekend to watch their favorite team or driver compete.
While the weekly trek to the race track has always presented its challenges, the task in recent times has made those trips to the many dirt ovals across the country a little more difficult to make.
Metro roundup: Lady Rex take Ohio softball tournament
The Lady Rex 18u softball team had a 5-1 record over the weekend to win the Ohio Premier tournament.
Trackside: Likable Dave Darland still chalking up victories at 48
One of short-track racing's all-time open-wheel greats continues to add to his growing legacy.
When veteran racer Dave Darland rolled into victory lane at Lincoln Park Speedway last week, he notched his 94th USAC career win. Add the countless number of open-competition wins over the years and it's easy to surmise the popular driver is approaching the lofty 200-win plateau.
His latest checkered flag came in the USAC Indiana Midget Week show at the same 5⁄16-mile dirt oval where he cut his teeth in an open-cockpit car more than 30 years ago.

Trackside: Thumbs up given for upcoming Indiana Midget Week
In his many years of serving in the public relation department for the U.S. Auto Club, Dick Jordan has developed a keen sense for rating the overall health and future of dirt-track open-wheel racing.
So when the veteran publicist voices a note of guarded optimism for the running of an upcoming series, one knows something special looms on the horizon.

Six former winners chasing Indy 500 championship
Angst, frustration and heartbreak are all part of the lore of the Indianapolis 500, but when a driver finally takes the checkered flag, all of those words are quickly relegated to the back of their mind and replaced with pure joy. That emotion keeps bringing them back, and for the 98th running of the Indy 500, six former winners will chase that passion again.
Darland wins Hulman Classic for 50th trip to USAC victory lane
For once, the Terre Haute Action Track and the U.S. Auto Club got a weather break Wednesday night, a window amidst threatening conditions to allow the 44th Tony Hulman Classic to go off without a serious hitch.
Some might say Dave Darland got a break too, but most would agree instead that the veteran sprint car driver has learned to make his own breaks by this time. He won the Classic for the second time in his career — the first coming in 1993 — and is a three-time USAC winner this season while no one else has won more than once.
Trackside: Tony Hulman Classic set for tonight at T.H. Action Track
Looking for a potential dark horse winner in tonight's scheduled running of the U.S. Auto Club-sanctioned running of the Tony Hulman Classic at the Terre Haute Action Track?
The task is indeed a challenging one. The USAC sprint circuit offers some of the most competitive forms of racing anywhere in the country and picking a potential winner out of a field that has at least eight to 10 drivers capable of making it to victory lane is very much a guessing game.
Unlikely duo on Indy GP pole
Verizon IndyCar drivers in the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis showcased rooster tails Friday as the rains came down for the Firestone Fast Six qualifying. Red flag conditions briefly halted the final session as officials stopped action for safety reasons.
Owner-driver Ed Carpenter getting ready for Indy run
Before too many pages get torn off the May calendar, IndyCar team owner and driver Ed Carpenter is trying to enjoy his free time away from race tracks.
Wednesday afternoon was an example of that.
The Wabash Valley native — born in Paris, Ill., and lived in Marshall, Ill., until he was 8 — signed autographs and granted media interviews while the car he drove in the 2008 Indianapolis 500 sat in the parking lot of the 500 Automotive Chevrolet Buick GMC dealership in Vermillion County.

2014 KISS Series opener today at Terre Haute Action Track
When the 2014 King of Indiana Sprint Series gets underway today, it will be at one of the most challenging ovals on the schedule. The Terre Haute Action Track earned its name years ago.
The Action Track is a big half mile, with sweeping turns and high-speed straightaways that demand the best from drivers, cars and crew. This may be illustrated by mentioning previous KISS winners at the Terre Haute oval — Jon Stanbrough (three times), Levi Jones, Tony Elliott, Shane Cottle and most recently Robert Ballou.
VIDEO: Windom seeking strong start to USAC Silver Crown Series at Action Track
Chris Windom has big plans.
Sure, the 23-year-old would like to make the ascent from success in the U.S. Auto Club to the fame and fortune of the larger racing series of NASCAR.
The Canton, Ohio, native who makes his home in West Lafayette has his sights on a big USAC season in 2014. Windom was second in Silver Crown points in 2013 and ninth in the sprint series.

Kurt Busch to try Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600 on same day
It's been 10 years since a driver last attempted running both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, a feat so grueling that only Tony Stewart has successfully completed all 1,100 miles.
Now Kurt Busch wants to give "the double" a try and he will have cars capable of winning both races.
Kurt Busch 70 percent sure he'll run in Indy 500
Kurt Busch put his chances at "70 percent" at running the Indianapolis 500 this year because of recent developments that have pushed a potential program along.

Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti said Thursday that doctors have told him he can no longer race because of injuries sustained in an IndyCar crash last month.
Trackside: Burns, Fitzpatrick provide fun moments at Putnamville
In a season that has generated more than its share of down moments for Wabash Valley fans and racers, last Saturday's "King of non-wing Sprints" program at Lincoln Park Speedway served notice that there are still a few positive storylines to be found in the wild and unpredictable sport of sprint-car racing.
One such storyline unfolded this past weekend on the rough and challenging 5⁄16-mile Putnamville dirt oval. That's where the runs of Eric Burns and Blake Fitzpatrick sent fans home feeling that if the season has to come to a close, it couldn't end on a happier or brighter note.
Coons Jr. wins USAC Tony Hulman/Jim Hurtubise Classic at Action Track
For all but one race during its 2013 racing season, the Terre Haute Action Track has taken a beating from Mother Nature.
Trackside: Stewart proves versatility is one of his strongpoints
At a time each summer when stock-car racing takes center stage in the heart of open-wheel racing territory, it was Tony Stewart who emerged the big winner last weekend.
No, not Tony Stewart the race driver but Tony Stewart the owner. He's the undisputed leader on two racing fronts — the car owner in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series with Ryan Newman as his driver and the owner-operator of Eldora Speedway. The popular Indiana native posted impressive showings in both ventures.
Precipitation has been unkind to Action Track in 2013
Bob Sargent has seen it all and done it all in 30 years of motorsports track promotion. The Terre Haute Action Track promoter isn't going to be fazed by much, but even he had to admit there is one thing that has sent a shiver down his spine in 2013.
The weather forecasts. He was asked if watching the weather has given him anxiety in a wet year.
"Sometimes," Sargent chuckled. "But doing it this long, it becomes normal. I don't if it's nervousness so much as it's frustrating. Rain is a big letdown."
Trackside: Sprint Week is fun week for USAC fans
With three rounds down and four to go, the 2013 version of Indiana Sprint Week is ready to take center stage at the Terre Haute Action Track tonight — weather permitting, of course.
It's hard not to mention the elements when talking racing at the Action Track this season.
Race organizers Reece O'Connor and Bob Sargent have felt the sting of Mother Nature worse than most Midwest promoters this spring and summer with all five of their scheduled shows washed out.

Resident Evil 6 to return to the series' horror roots?
- Posted June 13th, 2011 at 09:42 EDT by Michael Harradence
Capcom has hinted that Resident Evil may go back to its survival horror-oriented roots for the next numbered entry in the venerable zombie blasting series.
Speaking with fan site Rely on Horror at E3, a Capcom representative said the developer is fully aware that fans have been clamouring for a return to form for the franchise in wake of RE4 & 5's action fest.
"We know that alot of fans want more horror back for the next one, the development team knows that as well and we read a lot of comments, messageboards, and ask for feedback, and there was a lot of critisism about RE5′s focus on action," the rep said.
"I think that you'll like the direction the dev team is shifting for the next one."
How do you feel PSU readers? Would you like Capcom to go back to RE's roots or stick with the action-oriented antics of recent entries? Let us know in the comments section below.

Future's sophomore LP, Honest, once slated for a November 2013 release, still doesn't have a definite release date. But the father-to-be has not left fans totally in the lurch; he's released a steady stream of loosies to carry us through these album-less months, including a bunch of "get the trap hot" tracks for DJ Esco's No Sleep mixtape. He has now shared a video for one of those tracks, No Sleep's Metro Boomin'-produced "How It Was." It's nothing fancy, just Future bouncing around a studio in a Freebandz hoodie mostly. But the gesture — "A lil sum for the fans that's patiently waiting on the album," he says — is much appreciated.

emember when they banned all the storm cards from Pauper? Well, they missed one, and it's currently dominating the format.
There are a variety of Temporal Fissure decks, all of which use Cloudpost and Glimmerpost and, surprisingly, Ghostly Flicker. Some of these decks use Crop Rotation to find Cloudposts and enable large Kaervek's Torches, and others include Snap and Cloud of Faeries as a mana engine, sometimes supporting them with Sunscape Familiar and/or Nightscape Familiar, and other times not. These decks almost universally include one Mnemonic Wall, which they can bounce with Temporal Fissure to let them bounce all of the opponent's permanents every turn or two.
The build I'm looking at today is the one deck I saw with both Sunscape and Nightscape Familiars, because I appreciate someone actually playing three colors of lands outside of Affinity in Pauper, and I've always liked the Sunscape Familiar engine. This configuration is much less popular than blue with Chromatic Spheres and Chromatic Stars (sometimes with Fangren Marauder, which is also adorable), but I can imagine it being faster, which seems extremely important when both players are trying to Temporal Fissure each other out of the game.

Will you join the ranks of fans like Ashton Kutcher, Journey and "one guy from Duran Duran"?
Where do you draw the line between comedy and music?
Consider this: Tripod, Flight of the Conchords and the Lonely Island are widely recognised as comedy acts, yet Jack Black's Tenacious D is seen as a proper band (albeit one whose main aim is to make you giggle).
Likewise, Sydney's Axis of Awesome – Jordan Raskopoulos, Lee Naimo and Benny Davis – is, for all intents and purposes, a comedy act. It plays comedy festivals and has won comedy awards. But the trio has also released a handful of studio-produced albums, and would be just as comfortable headlining a sweaty rock club as it is playing a civilised comedy theatre.
The group bounds on stage, suits covered in medieval gear, and launches into 'Rage of Thrones'; an amps-up-to-11 track about those that have jumped onto the Game of Thrones bandwagon ("But I've read the fucking book!" howls Raskopoulos).
Cry Yourself a River is the band's new album and also the name of the show ("we did that deliberately… marketing…" says keyboardist Davis in a David Brent-ish fashion), so the show is predictably packed with a bunch of new tracks which are more hit than miss.
Highlights include 'Man of the Match', a guitar-led parody of footballer clichés ("we put in 110%, we're happy with the boys' efforts today, it's a game of two halves") and the very funny 'Do They Know It's Pizza?', an epic power ballad that recalls Tim Minchin's 'Canvas Bags', urging pizza store owners to cut their products into 12 slices making it easier to share among three. (It's accompanied by an online campaign).
If there's a weak point to the act, it's the between track banter which is occasionally funny but repetitive (Naimo plays the bewildered dumb guy; jokes about Davis' height continue all show). Albeit, Raskopoulos' show-long desire to "reclaim the peacock for men" leads to a memorable visual joke at the end of the show (no spoilers) that you won't get out of your head easily.
The Axis of Awesome is a musical comedy act whose music is funnier than its comedy. So the question still remains – do we file their CD alongside Tenacious D or the Lonely Island?

472 PART | IV Case Studies & Applications for two-way communication for DDC to work effectively, but there would still be benefits of two-way communication as discussed in Section "Towards a Smarter DDC." DDC Development Trends Early Days The concept behind DDC is far from new. It was developed by Fred Schweppe, an American engineer, in the late 1970s [12]. However it has evolved little subsequently, partly due to difficulties within the regulatory framework in rewarding DDC systems. It did see significant development during the 1980s in New Zealand, where islanded system made it particularly interesting (e.g., [1316]). Based on that work, DDC technology has been manufactured and sold commercially to hundreds of small-scale applications around the world in sizes ranging from less than 1 kW to greater than 200 kW. More recently, there has been an increasing interest, exemplified by the Grid Friendly appliances work by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in the US [17], demonstration-scale trials by RLtec in the UK [18], and a study about how DDC can be used to stabilize frequency on the Danish island of Bornholm [19]. Towards a Smarter DDC The simpler system explained so far can be enhanced in a system with two-way communication. With two-way communication available, the System Operator would have the ability to continually alter the response curves of individual loads to end up with a system that can restore system frequency to 50 Hz after a major outage, regardless of the actual uncontrolled load. Such a system is shown in Figure 18.11 where 10 loads (numbered 110) are shown with different response curves. This ensures fast proportional control that stabilizes the system and slow integral control that ensures the frequency is restored to the desired frequency, here 50 Hz, over time. Response curves can also be altered to take into account distribution network constraints--such as real-time monitoring of transformer temperatures--only allowing responses that do not cause any risk of overloading assets. Another benefit of having data access through two-way communication comes from enabling the System Operator to monitor the overall supply- demand balance. Even if the system frequency is 50 Hz, the system risk is very different depending on whether all DDC-capable demand is utilized or only a minor part. Lastly, knowing who has contributed to restoring frequency allows for bet- ter rewarding. Without this information, all DDC customers would get the same overall discount. There will be more system benefits arising from those who plug in the EVs at any time they are not using it compared to those who only plug it in when the battery level is below 20% and they want it recharged.

Much?? Is this purely related to what the T #$%$ in DC are doing? Or is there something we don't know?
yep - DC idiots not doing their jobs. it will pass - eventually.
looks like lots of biotechs are down. Might just be a sector thing.
the only thing I fear is that some major funds are moving out and buying into some competitor. What are your thoughts on that?? or do you still think it is primarily the DC issue?? I mean we have lost almost 70 cents!!!! Almost 15% value very rapidly over the past couple of days. Also how low do you anticipate we go before there is a support level??

10 Megapixels 4x Digital Zoom 3.0" LCD Screen SD Compliant 1 years warranty
This camera has the reflexes of a professional photographer.1/64sec F5.6 ISO200 EV±0 WB:AUTO no trimmingQuick shooting capabilities combined with precision focus. Hybrid autofocus systemThe GR DIGITAL IV employs a hybrid autofocus system that combines an external auto focus with a conventional contrast autofocus system. It is newly equipped with an external autofocus sensor developed in-house that allows for high-speed high-precision distance calculations for up to 190 points. The camera needs as little as 0.2 seconds for the autofocus to adjust approximately half the time for the GR DIGITAL III. The scan area for contrast autofocusing is limited so the external autofocus sensor can adjust the focus even if you do not half-press the shutter-release button allowing for more rapid focus adjustments than previous models. Improvements to the algorithm have increased the speed—as much as doubled it—even for macro autofocusing that uses only the contrast autofocus system.Hybrid autofocus systemRicoh's original quick snap mode enhanced by external autofocusWe have added a Snap mode in which you set the focus at a preset distance so you can take photos with a time lag we have cut thoroughly. One of the focus distances you can choose from on the GR DIGITAL IV is Auto. This permits very fast very precise focus adjustments made by the external autofocus sensor alone. You can take photos without having to worry about the distance to the subject. Using Full Press Snap the camera rapidly calculates the distance using the hybrid autofocus if you pause with the shutter-release button pressed halfway and using only the external autofocus if the shutter release is pressed all the way down in one motion. High-precision focusing has been added to the GR's characteristic quick shooting functionality. * The focus distances that can be chosen with Snap and Full Press Snap are Auto 1 m 1.5 m 2.5 m 5 m and ∞. * The distance information calculated by the external autofocus sensor can also be displayed on the monitor.Portrays subjects in motion vividly. New function: AF Continuous ShootingWhile the shutter-release button is pressed the camera can take a series of photos while adjusting its focus on the subject using the external autofocus. The camera also still provides set-focus continuous shooting S-Cont (stream continuous) shooting and M-Cont (memory-reversal continuous) shooting.Improved performance in dark scenes. Blur correction featureThe first model in the GR DIGITAL line equipped with an image sensor shift image stabilization feature. Coupled with a bright F1.9 lens this camera performs even better than previous models under dark conditions. The stabilization effect amounts to as much as 3.2 steps* calculated in terms of shutter speed. * Measured using RICOH measurement methods.ISO sensitivity settings respond flexibly to what you want to photograph and whereThe highest possible ISO setting is 3200 (the maximum for the GR DIGITAL III was 1600); the EV can be set in steps of 1 EV or 1/3 EV. Furthermore using ISO Auto Hi in addition to setting an upper limit of ISO sensitivity you can now also set shutter speeds where the ISO sensitivity changes. For example if the shutter speed is set to 1/60 the camera will maintain that speed as it adjusts ISO sensitivity. This makes it easy to control the camera to match what you want like when you want to use a fast shutter speed so the subject will not be blurry.New image monitor with a much higher maximal brightness that's easy to view even outdoorsThe maximum brightness of the new image monitor has been increased about 1.7 times over that of the GR DIGITAL III; visibility outdoors accordingly has been greatly improved. If the brightness controller is set to Auto the brightness of the image monitor will adjust automatically in accordance with the brightness of the subject. The size is an easily viewed 3-inch screen (approximately 1.23 million-dot* VGA). The wide viewing angle allows for viewing from various directions. In addition the distance information calculated by the external autofocus sensor can now be displayed as necessary helping to improve convenience and comfort level. * White pixels were added to RGB to attain approximately1.23 million dots.New image monitor with a much higher maximal brightness that's easy to view even outdoors

Lovely, flavorsome, substantial food. Well presented dishes and generous sized portions. A meal for two with two starters, two mains, a side of rice and to soft drinks came to less than £30. Friendly staff too.
Great food & service, will certainly be returning. It is well located on Cleethorpes sea front and good for business, friends, couples and family
I came here a few months back.
Really enjoyed the food. The starter was excellent and the mains was very generous.
I would highly recommend this place: especially as the decor is nicely presented as well.
Yet again the best thai in cleethorpes. The meat is always cooked fresh and service great. Excellent value. The decor is looking fab too
So far used it 3 times. First time was a restaurant experience and two others a take away. Meals are nice and quite authentic. Good value for money. Thai Green Chicken Curry (with coconut rice) is exceptional! Thai Yellow curry is more spicy than its description states but very good nonetheless. Service is always friendly, fast and polite.

We ate here in a party of 4 adults and 4 children. There was something for everyone - bearing in mind that the children were aged from 1 year to 11 years. The food was lovely, with plenty of choice. We would definitely recommend a visit.
We visited this restaurant at a lunchtime and had the set menu.
The price too reasonable so we didn't know what to expect.
When the food came out it was brilliant.
The food was fresh and authentic.
I would highly recommend Thai Oriental.
I had a lovely time at thai oriental, extremely quick service, and excellent meals... My mother has always been a regular customer and recommended the resturant to me.
I would recommended to anyone :)
The food in this place is just fantastic. It's not the fanciest place in Cleethorpes but if you want to eat some nice food I can't recommend this place enough.
We ordered a meal for four recently and were advised it would be delivered within 45 minutes. Two phone calls ( being told each time it was 5 minutes away ) and almost 2 hours later the meal arrived. On the last phone call we was advised there would be a discount for how late the meal was, the discount...

I subscribed to her channel after watching this video. She has done some really cool videos. Appatently when she first started doing YouTube vids she was a believer. She says it was 'in your face' atheism that led to her rejection of religion. She still kept her first videos up, so there is a continuity to her video history there.
Kinda cool.

It feels about as if PZ posted a big jpeg containing a picture of his text. With lots of compression artifacts. And a five point font. And some Javascript to automatically scroll it about twice as fast as you can read it.

There are literally thousands of comments dealing with dishonest stupidity such as yours on numerous threads here; that you should expect yet another stinky little turd deposited on an unrelated thread to be given serious consideration says a good deal about your dishonesty, stupidity and arrogance, but nothing at all about PZ Myers.

You know, it's rather appropriate to have douchecanoes like James infesting a thread about Ray Comfort. They have much in common: the stubborn, wilfull refusal to accept reality, the habit of screwing fingers firmly in ears and screaming inanities to avoid hearing anything that might change their mind, the annoying habit of spitting twisted, out-of-context, misappropriated bits of their opponents' arguments back at them and then howling checkmate, the willingness to lie viciously for their cause, and the inability to manage intentional humor… all that is left is for James to start waving a banana in our faces.
Have you got a banana, James?

Have they ever not been stupid?
The rant by Jaclyn is most refreshing and satisfying. Comfort is utterly outclassed when it comes to communication: when messages are conveyed to an intelligent independent-minded audience, the communicator has to measure up to that level of sophistication. She's got it. Comfort and his acolytes ("James King") are a cheap joke.

Thank you Jaclyn for saying exactly what I think.
Ray Comfort is a con man, he's making over $100,000 from his work. He's making money off of preaching ignorance and pretending like he hasn't received the answers to his questions a whole bunch of times already. He's a liar and a fraud.
No one scientific should give him the time of day or he'll turn it into his next video ("Scientists are so stupid they can't tell time!") His sheep followers will bleat and pay him money to constantly throw them scraps of stuff that confirms their already held biases.
PZ, you did make a huge mistake accepting Ray's interview though, cause he has that film, and now he can splash your face on all his videos.

I have to agree with khms @#12. These I-am-a-talking-head-ranting to-the-camera-or-someplace-in-that-general-vicinity video blogs are just unwatchable to me, no matter who's doing them or what they're saying. It seems to me a medium for narcissists: "look, I'm on TV with my opinions and great hair and shit". The ones in which somebody reads text off a monitor are only slightly worse than the ones in which somebody just rambles on and on with the uhs and ums, maybe while driving.
This woman speaks well and isn't reading, but there are very few visuals here other than her talking, and she looks perfectly OK, but still I'd rather read it.

Plus, her recording room doesn't seem to be sound-proofed in any way, so the reverb slams back and forth between the walls until it hits you in the cochlea like a piece of chili-dipped barb wire on fire.
Other than that, great video, I guess. (I'm resorting to guessing only because the auditory discomfort prevented me too from focusing properly on the actual content of her words.)

Does anybody else feel that she talks too quickly? Plus, she edits out any pauses, so it all just mooshes into word salad for me. She seems really sharp, but I just cannot focus on her arguments. Maybe she could release a less tightly edited version for the chronologically impaired, like me.

It's a mixed bag for me. There are some people I'd rather listen to speak, like Aron or Peter Hadfield, and in fact I'll sometimes put on videos of theirs I've listened to before for background noise.
And then there are other people who I enjoy reading quite a bit like Paul Krugman or our generous host himself who while they are extremely eloquent in the printed word are not able to fully translate that into public speaking. Which is okay. I'm not a great speaker myself and tend to stick to type.

what I think of Ray Comfort? " le hold my banana"
26 August 2013 at 4:31 pm (UTC -5) Link to this comment
Hmm. I think its real simple. Now a days, unless he is also cheap, as well as a liar (or willing to shell out for high end professional stuff), even cameras tend to be digital. So.. when ever one of these morons wants to film you, you have a laptop with you, and an agreement they have to sign, which says, "If you do, I get an immediate copy of the unedited footage. Not 'later', 'in a few days', 'when I get around to it', 'if I don't somehow misplace it while editing', etc., but 'immediate'." Or.. Make sure to have someone else with you, with their own camera.
The only way these people hide is if they can drag you into the dark with them, then edit the results in what ever sewer grate they happen to have their studio. Shine a real light on them, right from the start, and not only are they, like certain politicians, unable to run away from the truth effectively, they will probably scurry under the nearest rock, the moment you turn it on.

I disagree.
We should extend courtesy and benefit of the doubt to all, inluding Mr. Comfort.
It's often politely called giving them enough rope to hang themselves. What they choose to do with the rope is their own affair, but also quite enlightening for others.
Today our own dear PZ Meyers – and any attentive and sane person capable of thirty seconds of research – has no reason to ever deal with Mr. Comfort, on the grounds that he is a proven repeated misrepresenter of facts. (Both in his output, and in his dealings with others.)
If Mr. Comfort wishes to deal with anyone again in the scientific/atheistic/humanistic/skeptic (delete as appropriate) community, we have a simple criteria he must first meet – full, unedited release of materials to show fair dealing. Until he can commit to that – preferably retroactively – everyone can now ignore him.
It is lamentable that PZ has had to extend his kindness only to find it (as many predicted) abused, but it forms a valuable debt of bond that Mr. Comfort now publically owes. In that regard, it has been a public service which I thank PZ – and Peter Nonacs, Craig Stanford and Gail E. Kennedy – for performing.
"Release the footage" should become our first, unwavering and non-negotiable response from hereon. I'd be unsurprised if he claimed accidental deletion this time, but by making it a constant refrain, we can simply remove Mr. Comfort from any serious consideration in the future.

No splash damage. I have no problem with insults (except, not in the Lounge!), and encourage everyone to use vigorous and creative language. Except…I insist that you be precise and focused. Stilettos, not shotguns. There are classes of insults that rely on broad spectrum stereotypes to be insulting: racist, sexist, ableist, ageist slurs don't just hit your target, they hit everyone in that group. So when you slam Joe Schmoe for being "old", you're also slamming me, and we old people get tetchy and cranky about that sort of thing.

Oops….my bad :/ I have personal censorship issues. Thanks for the heads up!

I provide financial market analysis.
The weak close in the stock market Tuesday was a classic sign that the rebound from last Thursday's oversold low was over. Most of the index tracking ETFs gapped lower on the opening but then rebounded until just after lunch as the gaps were filled. The afternoon selling resulted in most of them closing on the day's lows.
Overseas markets are mixed with greater that 1% drops in Hong Kong and Shanghai while the Eurozone markets are slightly higher; nice gains also in the stock index futures with little in the way of economic data today.
The late-day decline was in line with the very weak market internals, especially the NYSE A/D ratios as there were 645 advancing stocks and 3458 declining. The number of NYSE stocks making new lows also surged to 261 with just 35 stocks making new highs. On May 15, there were 517 NYSE stocks that made new highs. The market internals were therefore weaker than prices.
Does this mean that investors should be prepared for a further wave of heavy selling or are we going to see a rebound and more chopping trading instead before stronger levels of support are tested?
Chart Analysis: The daily chart of the Spyder Trust (SPY) shows that the rally appears to have stalled at $165.40, which was below the stronger resistance in the $166 area.
The daily chart of the Powershares QQQ Trust (QQQ) shows that Monday's high at $73.76 was just below the June 4 high of $73.82.
The ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 (SDS) is a very liquid double-short ETF that I recommended buying at noon yesterday.
What it Means: When I started this column, the S&P futures were up four-five points but they are now up close to 10 points with just 60 minutes before the opening.
It is, of course, today's close that will be most important but the early action does suggest that those on the sidelines are buying. The action of the A/D line does not yet suggest that the correction is over as it is acting weaker than prices, rather than stronger. I would look for this relationship to change before a significant new uptrend gets underway.
A strong close today could signal a rally back to or above Monday's highs before we see another wave of selling. Choppier trading will help to lessen the recent enthusiasm for stocks. As I discussed in the most recent Week Ahead column, I still think a sharper decline is required to turn the sentiment bearish enough to form a sustainable market bottom.
I would stick with the long position in the inverse ETF and watch the close.
How to Profit: Should be long the ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 (SDS) at about $39.55, per yesterday's tweet. I would keep the stop at $38.29 for now, which is a risk of about 3.2%

In Stores March 25th
Pre-order a signed copy
With the legends and lore of Ireland running through his blood, falconer Connor O'Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It's where his sister, Branna, lives and works, where his cousin, Iona, has found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can't be broken…

In the year 1860, the reputation of Doctor Wybrow as a London physician reached its highest point. It was reported on good authority that he was in receipt of one of the largest incomes derived from the practice of medicine in modern times.
It was funny, Richard Sharpe thought, that there were no vultures in England. None that he had seen, anyway. Ugly things they were. Rats with wings.
Stock cue SOUND: "Presenting SCANALYZER, Engrelay Satelserv's unique thrice-per-day study of the big big scene, the INdepth INdependent INmediate INterface between you and your world!"
The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
The assassins dropped into the palace grounds at midnight, four fleet shadows dark against the wall. The fall was high, the ground was hard; they made no more sound on impact than the pattering of rain. Three seconds they crouched there, low and motionless, sniffing at the air. Then away they stole, through the dark gardens, among the tamarisks and date palms, toward the quarters where the boy lay at rest. A cheetah on a chain stirred in its sleep; far away in the desert, jackals cried.
The circus arrives without warning.
Catechist Theologian: Recently, we spoke at length about the mind's immortality and the logical necessity of a Governor of the world. If you continue to be so satisfying, I will have no trouble in teaching you. Now there awaits us the thorny consideration of God's justice, for nothing is used more often or so speciously to refute Providence than the disorder of things. Set about solving this with proper reasoning and refine it to my liking, so that when I reveal the light of revelations, it will be reflected in your ideas.
I. By that which is self-caused, I mean that of which the essence involves existence, or that of which the nature is only conceivable as existent.
Not only in the world of commerce but also in the world of ideas our age has arranged a regular clearance-sale. Everything may be had at such absurdedly low prices that very soon the question will arise whether any one cares to bid. Every waiter with a speculative turn who carefully marks the significant progress of modern philosophy, every lecturer in philosophy, every tutor, student, every sticker-and‑quitter of philosophy—they are not content with doubting everything, but "go right on." It might, possibly, be ill‑timed and inopportune to ask them whither they are bound; but it is no doubt polite and modest to take it for granted that they have doubted everything—else it were a curious statement for them to make, that they were proceeding onward. So they have, all of them, completed that preliminary operation and, it would seem, with such ease that they do not think it necessary to waste a word about how they did it. The fact is, not even he who looked anxiously and with a troubled spirit for some little point of information, ever found one, nor any instruction, nor even any little dietetic prescription, as to how one is to accomplish this enormous task. "But did not Descartes proceed in this fashion?" Descartes, indeed! that venerable, humble, honest thinker whose writings surely no one can read without deep emotion—Descartes did what he said, and said what he did. Alas, alas! that is a mighty rare thing in our times! But Descartes, as he says frequently enough, never uttered doubts concerning his faith… .
Snow-Balls have flown their Arcs, starr'd the Sides of Outbuildings, as of Cousins, carried Hats away into the brisk Wind off Delaware,—the Sleds are brought in and their Runners carefully dried and greased, shoes deposited in the back Hall, a stocking'd-foot Descent made upon the great Kitchen, in a purposeful Dither since Morning, punctuated by the ringing Lids of various Boilers and Stewing-Pots, fragrant with Pie-Spices, peel'd Fruits, Suet, heated Sugar,—the Children, having all upon the Fly, among rhythmic slaps of Batter and Spoon, coax'd and stolen what they might, proceed, as upon each afternoon all this snowy Advent, to a comfortable Room at the rear of the House, years since given over to their carefree Assaults. Here have come to rest a long scarr'd sawbuck table, with two mismatch'd side-benches, from the Lancaster County branch of the family,—some Second-Street Chippendale, including an interpretation of the fam'd Chinese Sofa, with a high canopy of yards of purple Stuff that might be drawn all 'round to make a snug, dim tent,—a few odd Chairs sent from England before the War,—mostly Pine and Cherry about, nor much Mahogany, excepting a sinister and wonderful Card Table which exhibits the cheaper Wave-like Grain known in the Trade as Wand'ring Heart, causing an illusion of Depth into which for years children have gaz'd as into the illustrated Pages of Books…along with so many hinges, sliding Mortises, hidden catches, and secret compartments that neither the Twins nor their Sister can say they have been to the end of it. Upon the Wall, banish'd to this Den of Parlor Apes for its Remembrance of a Time better forgotten, reflecting most of the Room,—the Carpet and Drapes a little fray'd, Whiskers the Cat stalking beneath the furniture, looking out with eyes finely reflexive to anything suggesting Food,—hangs a Mirror in an inscrib'd Frame, commemorating the "Mischianza," that memorable farewell Ball stag'd in '77 by the British who'd been Occupying the City, just before their Withdrawal from Philadelphia.

Autobiographical Narrative in African Literature
Course No. LLC207W Credits: 3.0
Faculty Olatubosun Ogunsanwo
This course consists of six first-person accounts, which highlight the socio-historical and psychological significance of the autobiographical narrative in the black experience. The autobiographical mode is one of the predominant forms of literary expression in black literature, dating back to the "slave narrative" of the eighteenth century, just as it is in the hands of African artists a prominent literary form that is characterized by its predominantly collective and communal narrative voice. The course will focus on the interface between individual life-story and collective (social) history. It will also consider in the postmodernist sense the thin line between fiction and history (art and life), while exploring individual consciousness as an art of rhetorical self-definition and subjectivity. The last two books include two generational responses to womanist issues; and both of them problematize the autobiographical art-form. There are six videos primarily to provide socio-historical background to the course. The videos, as visual texts, are also meant to create a critical interface with the 6 literary socio-constructs, with a view to stimulating your deep insights into the course. Fulfills Humanities/Cultural Studies distribution requirement. Creative Writing Concentration course.

Guest Blogger ~Ruffles and Stuff~ I am more than thrilled to tell you who I have invited today!
Are you all ready? Disney from Ruffles and Stuff!! I love her feminine, approachable style and she always has great step by step tutorials on her blog. Quick Envelope Pillow Case. Last week I scored a bunch of pillows 2 for 6$ and I thought it would be fun to have some pretty pillows.
These were so easy to make that I made an entire pillow case while talking to my MIL about the father's day lunch plans (it was only a 10 minute conversation) nice right? Any ways, ever since I made these six I've been envisioning many more pillow cases in my future, you know say for all the holidays, parties, seasons. Book Nerd. Book Nerd Olá!
Primeiro quero dizer que estou oficialmente de férias! Há uma hora atrás tive o meu último exame Não correu muito bem mas tou de férias não interessa! Bem ao ler alguns dos meus posts podem ter reparado que adoro ler! E também adoro aquelas t-shirts com letras gigantes, por isso decidi fazer isto: The Madeleine Mini Bloomers. Valentine's day is coming this weekend, and whether you love it or hate it, you must admit having something adorable to lounge around in makes any day that much sweeter.
So I present to you the madeleine mini bloomers, a free sewing pattern that you can download! It takes only a yard of fabric (along with some elastic and ribbon), and an hour or two of sewing to whip up these pretties. These are no prim and proper Victorian bloomers, as you can see. They sit low on the waist, and are scandalously brief. Watermark Tee. Hello U-Create readers!
I am so excited to be guest posting here today. It just so happens to be my first guest post and I'm still a little shocked that it's here at Ucreate, one of my favorite blogs! A little bit about me.. I'm from a little town called Keller, Texas. I'm a junior at Texas A&M University (whoop!). The Convertible "Infinity" Dress. I made this thing.
It's pretty cool. It's a convertible dress that's basically a circle and two straps, so it's really easy, inexpensive, and crazy versatile. Sweetheart Ballet Tee. Here's yet another way to spice up your t-shirts when you get a little bored with the plainness of them all.
I did this a few weeks ago to two of my plain tees. I'm threatening to do this on all of the t-shirts I own. Bleaching Experiment.
