Lofty history comes with Blackhawks
With one of the better tournament histories of any team in any class in the state of Indiana, the Sheridan Blackhawks roll into Starfire Field this Friday with some lofty credentials. They have 17 sectional trophies littering their mantle, 12 regional titles, 10 semi-state wins, and nine state championships – only Indianapolis Chatard (10 state titles) and Fort Wayne Luers (9 state titles) share that kind of status.
Sheridan is also home to Indiana's all-time wins leader as Bud Wright notched his 369th career victory with the Blackhawk's 48-16 triumph over Lapel in the second round of Class A Sectional 36 last Friday night. Wright's career mark of 369-160...

See how NASA tracks Santa's progress on Christmas Eve and tuck into a potentially deadly holiday repast in the Midwest.
- Authors Mark Sceurman and Mark Moran bring their unique view of America to the screen.
- A one-of-a-kind travelogue.
- Theres the comfortable Christmas of St. Nick and family--and then theres the one that the Marks celebrate!
The Marks--Sceurman and Moran have seen facets of America that would chill the local chamber of commerce to the bone. They have turned their shared obsession into a unique series of guides to the weirdest that the nation has to offer, and now they bring their unique travelogue to the screen in this fascinating series celebrating the dark, twisted, offbeat and unusual.
Face it, Christmas in America is sweet and predictable--but not on WEIRD U.S. For the Marks, the season begins at Florida's Kennedy Space Center, where NASA tracks Santa's gift-delivery mission. In the heartland, they discover that for some die-hard Scandinavians, Christmas dinner is a fish soaked in lye--also an ingredient in rat poison! The two Marks find evidence that Christmas, once a pagan celebration of the winter solstice, was long ago a riotous, drunken holiday. In Pennsylvania Dutch territory, they go undercover as Belsnickles--Santa's furry alter-ego--and learn what happens to kids when naughty, not nice. And in Philadelphia, a radio-show host insists that Santa is a satanic force that must be stopped!

Illustration by John P. O'Neill
An acrobatic species, the Verdin is generally solitary away from nest sites. It is most easily detected by its surprisingly loud calls. Nest is an intricately woven ball of spiderwebs and small twigs. The male often builds several structures during the nesting season; both sexes roost in these year-round. Polytypic (4–6 ssp.; 2 in North America). Length 4.5" (11 cm).
Identification Very small body size with a medium-length tail. Sexes similar. Adult: dull gray overall, darker on upperparts, with a yellow face and chestnut shoulder. Small though heavy bill with a straight culmen that is sharply pointed. Juvenile: similar to adult, but paler gray and lacking the yellow face and chestnut shoulder making them appear very plain. Juveniles also have a pale base to bill.
Geographic Variation Variation in the 2 North American subspecies is weak and clinal. Western birds (acaciarum) tend to have more brownish coloration on the upperparts than those found from southern New Mexico to central Texas (ornatus).
Similar Species Yellow face and chestnut shoulder of adults distinguish them from other chickadee-like birds. Juvenile similar to Lucy's warbler (particularly the female) but can be distinguished by its heavier bill with a pale base. The bushtit has a longer tail and smaller bill with a curved culmen. Gnatcatchers have longer, black tails and prominent eye rings.
Voice Call: a clear tschep and rapid chip notes. Song: a plaintive 3-note whistle, tee tyew too, with the second note higher.
Status and Distribution Common; uncommon in Utah and rare in Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle. Year-round: resident in desert scrub and other brushy habitats, including mesquite woodlands.
Population Stable, although there is very little data concerning this species.
—From the National Geographic book Complete Birds of North America, 2006

Fernando Alonso admits Ferrari still have a lot of work to do before Australia after a solid day of testing in Bahrain.
The double World Champion brought his F14T home in second place at the Sakhir circuit, clocking a 1:37.879 to finish 0.999s adrift of Nico Hulkenberg.
During the course of the day, Alonso covered 64 laps during which he checked on all aspects of the new power unit systems as well as aerodynamic testing.
His day, though, wasn't without problems as he brought out the first red flag of the morning when an oil leak forced him to stop out on track.
"It's nice to be driving again, especially when you have more reference points compared to the previous time, which means you get a better feeling for the car," Alonso told the Ferrari website.
"We are also at a track that is more representative, with normal temperatures, where it's been easier to understand tyre behaviour.
"We are in a phase where we are discovering things and with every lap, we learn something new.
"For everyone, there is still a lot to do to be well prepared for Melbourne, so it will be important to make the most of every day we have available to us."

A Southern California kitchen blends seamlessly into a living/dining room and deck.
A dramatically integrated master bedroom and bath in San Francisco.
A modern master bath frames a prairie view.
The best rooms function simultaneously in plan, composition, and detail, and the Arts and Crafts Kitchen shines in all three.
Replacing a 1980s remodel that offered plenty of square footage but little else, the kitchen efficiently supports both cooking and entertaining, promotes friction-free circulation to the adjacent dining and family rooms, and respectfully updates the house's original Arts & Crafts–era design.
As architects Christine Albertsson, AIA, and Todd Hansen, AIA, found it, "the actual kitchen was a small area in the middle of a big room," Hansen says. "There was lots of circulation without much useful space." The new plan combines the existing cooking and breakfast areas into a clean, simple rectangle. "The owners wanted to be able to seat 10 in the kitchen, and we accomplished that with two islands," Hansen says. "The smaller one also serves as a bar during parties, which keeps the working end of the kitchen separate from the hosting end." A thickened wall houses the built-in refrigerator as well as a station for homework and menu-planning; walk-in pantry storage frees the outside walls for windows.
Reflecting the room's long horizontal dimension, Hansen says, "the drawers are a little wider than you might expect. We also gave variety to different sub-functions along the way," treating cooking, china-storage, and cleanup areas as vignettes within the larger scene. To define workspaces, he says, "we made some areas of the countertop come out an inch or so. We tried to make it more articulate." While the rift-sawn white oak cabinetry echoes work found in the original house (and the crackle-glazed wall tile represents a bit of period-appropriate imagination), black basalt counters and stainless steel hardware, appliances, and lighting fixtures lend a subtle contemporary spark. "The owners wanted it to be sympathetic with the original interior," Hansen says, "but they also wanted it to feel new."

I think you're underestimating Scent of Blood in your guide.
First, we will never have enough RP that you can reserve 20 RP at all time while still bombing DC. That's just not going to happen.
In every pair of runesets (21seconds), we will acquire 110 RP from all our strikes (1PS, 1 IT, 2 DS, 6 HS), with 4 empty GCDs before we have to refresh diseases. If we use just 2 RS every 20s (very likely), we will only have enough RP for 2 DC. Also, reserving 20 RP is a very tricky thing - at least not as simple as you make it out to be. Imagine if you have 45 RP, and the next blood rune will only refresh 2s from now. Do you DC? If you DC, you won't be able to RS for 2s rune refresh + 2 more GCD to strike the runes to get 20 RP enough to RS. But if you don't DC, you're seeing a dip in threat for at least 2s. Without SoB, we will see more GCDs filled up with HoW, which generate very little threat if at all.
Second, don't just look at percentage of recount to determine the value of DC/SoB. That's because: (1) If I remember correctly, the DC proc-ed from Sudden Doom is not able to crit and (2) you're already DCing less in the first place. This goes back to point 1: do you actually DC at every opportunity? If you only do 2 DC at every pair of Runesets, you're potentially only DCing 6-7 times a minute - of course the threat value is very low. If that 6-7x a minute contributes 6-7% of your threat, and if 3/3 SoB can increase the frequency to 9-10x a minute, that is a 3% increase in threat, already equal to the value of Subversion without even counting theoretical higher percentage of RS over melee ratio.
Third, 40 RP per minute per point is an underestimation of its uptime. Its uptime is really high, and it can consume the charge from RS - which can't be blocked/parried/dodged, increasing the RP return from the talent itself. In any multimob tanking (2 and above) you can be guaranteed it has close to 100% uptime. With 3.6 speed weapon and 20% haste, we're expecting to hit a single target boss 20x a minute - with 80% uptime, you're expecting 160 RP per minute.
Now, it's possible that you're not seeing the benefit of extra RP in your raid. If you raid with 1x Disc Priest and 3x Resto Druid bombing you with PW:S and Rejuv, you'll probably have enough RP to the point that you forget having Scent of Blood. Or if you can get 100 RP every 45s from AMS (very possible) you'll probably forget having Scene of Blood. But that's anecdotal - not everyone is going to have that kind of composition, and not every boss has that kind of mechanic.
To prove the point, I created a template in Kahorie's DK Simulator, exactly same spec, gear is what I have in Armory, one with 3/3 SoB and one with 3/3 Subversion. The result is SoB template wins out by 64 TPS (8758 to 8694). No big deal obviously as the difference is <1%, but it shows that SoB is better than "giving more DCs and DCs contributes so little to TPS".

Power Outlets Are Becoming Big In Cars
It used to be that many cars would use traditional cigarette-lighting materials. These are items that would work by creating a heat source that can help to light up a cigarette. However, these old electric items are being replaced with electric power outlets instead.
These outlets are being used to help create a source of electricity in the vehicle. It will work with a few points in mind.
1. First, the outlet has to be connected with the car's battery.
2. The outlet must then have a proper material added to it. Sometimes it can be an adapter that links to a certain outlet while in other cases it might entail the use of a USB port. This depends on the type of outlet that is used and the port that can be utilized.
3. The material can then power up as the engine is on; this step may not be required in every instance.
4. The device that is plugged into the outlet should now be ready for use for whatever it is one requires out of it.
This is a great thing that can be done for all sorts of specific needs:
• It can help to link up a GPS device to a dashboard. GPS devices tend to use quite a bit of battery power. Having a device hooked to a power outlet will help to keep the device from being too hard to use while keeping the energy in a spot from being a real threat.
• It can also work with a phone. It may link the phone to a radio outlet or other spot to help facilitate hands-free calling. Sometimes this might not be required with Bluetooth technology being so prevalent but the outlet can at least help to power up the phone and keep it from losing too much power on its battery.
• This can also get a tablet or smartphone that has online access to link to a power source. This might even work with the Wi-Fi connections that are being built into some of today's newer cars. It's clear that playing with Neopets on a device can drain its battery. Planning to buy Neopoints and check them out as needed can take even more battery power. Keeping the device linked to a proper power source can at least keep this battery usage from being more of a hassle than needed.
These can all work with different interfaces. Sometimes a standard circular interface can work with a good adapter but some other vehicles will use USB ports. Others might even stick with very specific types of ports that are for particular objects of use. The iPod dock has become a rather prevalent example of this. Anything that can link to a vehicle can still work provided that the connection is set up the right way.
Power outlets can really be great to have in any car. Power outlets can do quite a bit with regards to getting any kind of material up and running in a car while also allowing for more things to be done in any space.
Could the BMW i3 Change the Electric Car Field?
BMW is looking to compete with Tesla and other companies that are making electric cars with its own model. The BMW i3 is expected to be a real competitor based on not only its ability to handle electric power but also for how the car can really move down the road.
How Far Can It Move?
The BMW i3 has a battery that will go about 81 miles before it has to be recharged. This is equal to having close to 124 mpg on the road. In fact, this has been ruled by the EPA to be the most fuel efficient vehicle around thanks to how its engine to able to move around with so little effort.
What About Charging?
The process of charging the vehicle is not all that hard to do. Any type of wall socket can be used to charge up the vehicle. In fact, BMW makes the I Wallbox to come with the vehicle. This can be installed in one's home and will work as an ideal space for charging the vehicle.
A Faster Speed
It can take about seven seconds for the car to go from 0 to 60 mph. The 250 Nm of torque will be available for use right from the start when getting the vehicle up and running. What makes this all the more impressive is that the car is practically silent when it does this. The electric motor is much quieter than the traditional gas motor that one might typically use.
Less Energy Is Used
The energy used inside the vehicle is much less than what one might get out of a typically vehicle. This makes it easier to maintain while also keeping the battery from wearing out. LEDs are used for lighting purposes while the E-drive feature will take energy from the wheels as they move and put it back into the battery. This will create torque that may be used when braking, thus allowing the vehicle to slow down without too much effort coming out of doing so. It makes for a more energy-efficient vehicle as the battery will not drain quickly due to the use of various features on the inside of the car.
A Light Weight
One problem with many electric cars is that they tend to be rather heavy and can take a while to move. The BMW i3 is much smaller than other models in that it is only about 2,600 pounds in weight. This is rather light when compared with the Tesla Model S, a car that is about 4,600 pounds heavy. This light weight could really be a game-changer considering how it makes it easier for the vehicle to operate without using too much force.
The BMW i3 could really work towards competing quite well in the electric car industry. This vehicle has plenty of fine features that make it different and unique while also standing out when it moves. It is no surprise that a car company as popular as BMW would get into this field and it is doing so by going after quite a bit of power and energy support in its vehicle.
How Do Drowsy Driver Warnings Work?
Fatigue can be difficult to anyone who is going to drive for a while. Fatigue can cause anyone to become tired and inattentive. This could really cause someone to get into a dangerous situation on the road. However, there is one interesting feature that is being made available in a variety of vehicles.
The drowsy driver detection system is unique when it comes to all the different types of safety features one has to work with. This is being used on all sorts of vehicles. Ford has its Driver Alert program, Volkswagen has the Fatigue Detection System and Mercedes-Benz has the Attention Assist feature. The odds are that more companies are going to star offering this feature on their cars.
These warnings are very interesting for all car drivers to see. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are always going to work. As fascinating of a technology as it can be, it is not something that is totally perfect just yet.
How Does It Work?
The drowsy driver warning system works through the use of a monitor. This may come from a camera that uses facial recognition software. This software will analyze cases of unusual behavior. In many cases this might include times when someone appears to be nodding off or when the driver is trying to keep one's eyes open for as long as possible. If a person appears to be moving too much then it might create an alarm.
If the system identifies questionable behaviors then the driver may end up being alerted. This often comes with a beep and with an icon on the dash. This will suggest that the driver pulls over and gets help to stay awake or to have someone else take the wheel. This is done to keep the driver from being at risk of being harmed while driving.
Can It Work?
This can be an appealing feature but it is not always going to be useful. The fact is that the software that is used in this type of program may not always be fully functional. That is, the program might end up being lacking in terms of responding to different things that the driver is doing.
Sometimes the alarm might end up being false. This can include cases where a person who looks normal might be interpreted by the camera as someone who is drowsy even if that is not the case. As a result, this could cause the signal to be up and running for the entire trip.
Drowsy driver warnings are important for all to think about. If a person is drowsy while driving then that person may be at real risk of being in a wreck. The warnings that many new cars are using can help drivers but it is important to watch for how they might be useful. There is no guarantee that such a system might be fully functional every single time one needs it. It is still an appealing feature that should potentially get better as more work goes into making it as effective as it could be.
What To Do When Buying a GPS For the Car
A GPS device can be ideal for use in your car. Many cars are using different GPS units that are built into their bodies and will help you out with getting from one point to the next no matter where you have to go. However, this does not mean that every single GPS unit out there is going to be worthwhile.
If you are going to buy a GPS unit for your car then you will have to be aware of what you're buying. There are many models out there and you will have to be aware of what you might need when finding a model that fits in well for your goals.
What Updates Are There?
You should see if a GPS unit can come with updates. That is, it should be a unit that can be updated through a wireless online connection. You might also link it up to a computer to download software in some cases. Either way, if you can get free updates then you can ensure that the maps you will have on your unit will always be active.
What About Real Time Information?
You might need to see if there's real time information available with regards to traffic reports and alerts. This can be made possible through a model that has access to different wireless online networks. Real time information can help you find out what routes you should avoid due to serious traffic issues and other commonplace problems that you might find on the road. You'll notice from this site that there are many great ways how GPS systems can work for the goals you've got.
Can You Control It?
The control features that come with GPS models will vary based on what you buy. You might find that some models are designed with easy to manage touchscreen systems while others may have buttons. Either way, you have to compare what is open so you can find a model that you know you can actually control without any problems. If you can find a voice-activated or controlled model then you might have a much easier time using it while keeping your hands on the steering wheel.
Consider Destinations
Many units can help you to find gas stations, hotels, restaurants and other points of interest. This is provided that it has a link to a map that has information on all of these places. Take a look at how detailed the map on such a GPS can be when buying one. If it has information on everything you can use in such a unit then you can really benefit from what is listed on it.
If you are able to find a good GPS unit for your car then you might find it easier for you to get to your destination regardless of where it might be. Make sure when buying such a unit that you are aware of how it works and what it will come with so you will be properly prepared the next time you hit the road. It could mean the difference between getting to your destination and being lost.
Wi-Fi Is Becoming Popular In New Cars
Wi-Fi is typically associated with home and business locations. That is, people often assume that Wi-Fi connections are set up with a bunch of hardware materials in one spot in a home or business.
However, the definition of Wi-Fi is changing thanks in part to the use of Wi-Fi in cars. People can get access to Wi-Fi signals in their vehicles without having to worry about any extra adapters or having to use any particular data networks that might cost extra money to use.
These Wi-Fi units are designed with a few sensible point in mind:
• A router and modem will be installed into a secure space in the vehicle. This will typically be located in the trunk of the car. It cannot be in the front of the car as it might overheat due to the engine activities.
• The wiring system will then link over into the dashboard to create a range that will cover the entire body of the car.
• The Wi-Fi signal will work when the vehicle is active. That is, the battery has to be turned on. The car should be in ignition but the engine does not have to be running for the Wi-Fi signals to be read.
This technology makes it so online signal will be available anywhere one goes while driving. This is a feature that is becoming rather popular in new cars thanks to the need for people to be online at all times.
Just imagine, anyone could be buying Neopoints and doing other stuff relating to buying Neopoints while on the road. This can all be possible as long as a person has a tablet or smartphone with Wi-Fi access. The ability to get consistent signals within a car will really be to one's advantage as it can make online usage an easier possibility.
However, there are some concerns that might come with the Wi-Fi signals that are being used in any case:
• Whether or not this technology will be adopted by many car companies is unclear. General Motors has stated that it will offer Wi-Fi on many of its new cars.
• There could be limits as to where the Wi-Fi can go. A typical Wi-Fi receiver may only receive signals from a certain data service provider like AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon.
• Not all Wi-Fi solutions may be free. Some companies may ask people to spend money to get access to Wi-Fi signals. For instance, a person might have to spend $10 a month to get up to 200 megabytes of data on the AT&T network when dealing with signals in a GM car.
The use of Wi-Fi in cars is a real development worth checking out in the future. This could really impact the way how vehicles are managed in the future thanks to the unique circumstances that may come with this appealing feature. Whether or not it will be adopted by more companies in the future is unclear but it is something that could really be fascinating for all to explore and have in general.
Finding the Right Car Dealer Is Important
As useful as it can be to learn about all kinds of new cars out there, it is especially important to think about how different car dealers can be. Many car dealers will offer different types of cars but they can also vary in terms of what they have to offer. While you might think that the price of a car from a certain dealer is going to be the most important thing to think about, you have to watch for several different aspects that you need to see before you settle on a particular car dealer for your transaction.
What Is the Showroom Like?
The showroom for a car dealer should be one that is comfortable and conducive to the buying experience. It can show off a sense of care for the cars in general. If a place has a good showroom that is easy to get into and relaxing for your use then you will be more likely to trust in the dealer.
In fact, a good showroom will be one where the cars are protected. That is, the cars are secured at all times and will not be stolen. They can only be accessed by those who are interested in buying them. This can be a sign of how responsible a dealer may be.
What About the Selection?
You may also want to talk about the selection that you are going to look through. A good selection of vehicles from a car dealer can come with different options from a variety of brands. Sometimes the used car selection may also be helpful.
An SEO Florida project for such a car dealership might entail the dealer getting the best SEO company in Florida to work with different plans that relate to emphasizing more brands. This can be useful but sometimes a dealer might favor one brand over another. Be sure you compare all options with one another to get a better idea of what you might find in a space before you stick with it.
How About the Warranty?
The warranty from a car dealer is often highlighted on a dealer's website for SEO Florida purposes. In particular, the warranty is often seen as a sign of trust for whatever a business has to offer. If a business has a good warranty then it shows that it stands behind what it has to offer. You have to ask a provider for information on the warranty based on things like the engine, the frame and other points. Be sure to also ask about any free maintenance that may be provided on your car over time.
Check the Shop
Don't forget to see how the shop can work. That is, the place where maintenance can be done on cars should be checked. A car dealer that has a good shop service can really be important with regards to seeing how a car dealer can work for the requirements your vehicle might have.
A great car dealer in Florida should be someone that is easy to trust in. Be sure that you use the standards listed here to get an idea of whether you can tell if a car dealer is someone that is worth getting in touch with for any purpose you might have.
Can You Get a Faster YouTube Site If You Buy YouTube Views?
While you could technically get more people to show up to your YouTube channel if you buy views, you need to do some other things to make it more viable. Much of this involves the posting videos with certain standards that will be rather easy for you to manage. If you are able to use the right standards to help with getting more YouTube views then you will find that it is not all that hard for you to get the most out of the videos you are trying to work with.
Watch For Resolution
YouTube videos can be displayed in many resolution levels including at 1080p. You need to watch for how the resolution on your videos can work though. Not all computers can handle high-definition videos and the ones that can many not always want to wait a little extra just to get their videos available in HD quality.
Recording videos in lower quality always helps as it makes sure that the videos will load fast when people do actually watch them online. If you record the video properly and upload it to where it won't take up too much disc space then it should not be all that hard to load up. If your resolution is sensible and easy to work with then you might have a much easier time with managing whatever it is you want to use on your website. Be careful when making it work so you'll know what you can expect when getting your videos loaded up the right way.
Check Your Bandwidth
You can also see if the bandwidth for your videos is working properly. That is, the video should not be forcing more data being more down a network than possibly. Check to see if the video's size is sensible and if you need to condense or compress the quality before uploading, for instance.
Although you can buy YouTube views from Qqtube, it helps to schedule the views that show to work at an off-peak time of the day. This is to see that the video will be accessible at a time when the bandwidth for it really is needed. If you clog up the bandwidth too much during peak hours then people may be turned off by your work and not be interested in seeing what you have.
Watch Your Tags
The tags that you place on a video can take a while to load up if you have too many of them or they are far too confusing. Limit your tags to ones that are sensible and easy to read without clogging up so much space on your computer. Keeping these tags in check is always important to do so you will understand what you have to work with.
Make sure you are aware of how you are using YouTube for your plans at large when you are trying to make people see your work. Buying views helps but if you can do that alongside plans to make your videos get around faster then you will certainly have an easier time with getting your videos to be seen by more people.

The Tony Fox "Proud American" and "Bonneville Boss" Rocket Truck
by Frank Filipponio (RSS feed) on Nov 8th, 2009 at 7:00PM
Before our favorite weekly Southern California car gathering this Saturday, we had been told by a friend that he'd be bringing his new rocket truck. Rocket truck? What the heck's a rocket truck? Visions of rocket-powered pickups and semis running the quarter mile immediately came to mind. Did some drag racer sell Tom his race truck? Is that what he was bringing to the show? As soon as we came around the corner we knew he hadn't. We knew this with absolute certainty because we saw a giant nosecone towering above the treeline. There was, in fact, a rocket-powered land speed record (LSR) car... Read More

Australia's Mark Webber will remain behind Sebastian Vettel in the pecking order at Red Bull Racing, according to the team's advisor Dr Helmut Marko.
The 36-year-old Webber made a strong start to the 2012 season, winning twice, but struggled to maintain his pace throughout the year and ended in sixth place on the Driver's Championship.
Vettel on the other hand clinched a third consecutive driver's title and will start the new season as favourite for another title with bookmakers like Paddy Power and others, and Dr Marko believes Webber is aware of his position within the hierarchy at Red Bull.
"Mark knows what we expect of him," Marko told Sport Bild.
"For four years, Vettel and Webber have driven together in our team. Sebastian was runner-up once and champion three times.
"The statistic speaks for itself. There is no reason to think the balance of power will change."
The Aussie signed a one-year extension to his contract after winning at Silverstone in July and he remains a favourite amongst fans looking to place a bet on F1, but recently said that finding the right time to retire would be a difficult decision, although he has no plans to quit as of yet.
"I haven't been there yet but it is going to be a very difficult moment, no question about it," Webber told GP International magazine.
"I suppose it's just about getting the timing right - not pulling the plug too early, knowing you have more to give of yourself, or going too long and not being quick enough or struggling to do the things you used to be able to do.
"That can become an issue as well."

Kimi Raikkonen could hardly have wished for a better start to the 2013 season as he won the Australian GP without too much fuss.
The Lotus driver qualified P7, but he negotiated his way to fourth place by the end of the third lap and then held station behind the Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel and the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso.
However, the momentum swung his way during the second round of pit stops as Lotus put him on a two-stop strategy with the rest of the front-runners all doing three-stoppers.
Although there were fears that Alonso, who finished second, was going to catch him after he switched to fresh rubber late in the race, the challenge never came as Raikkonen eased his way to his second race win following his comeback.
The 33-year-old Raikkonen says their plan worked like a charm and it turned into "one of the easiest race wins" for him in the end as he finished more than 12s ahead of the Spaniard.
"Our plan was to do two stops and though it's always difficult in the first races to know when to stop and not go too early, we got it exactly right," he said. "We followed the plan and it worked out perfectly for us. I could save the tyres and go fast if I needed.
"It was one of the easiest races I have done to win. Hopefully we can have many more of these races."
He added: "Fernando was catching me at some points when I was taking it a bit more easy and I had some traffic, so I just wanted to make sure that if the rain came or anything I had a bit more of a gap.
"It was a pretty nice race, not so difficult."
Although pleased to be the surprise leader in the Drivers' Championship after the season-opening race in Melbourne, Raikkonen concedes there's still a long way to go.
"It feels good but it's only one race so it doesn't really change our aim or our work," he said. "We're happy with the win and there's a lot still to do to try to win the Championship."
Meanwhile team principal Eric Boullier is delighted with the way Raikkonen managed his tyres throughout the race.
"We're most delighted - it was the best start we could have had to the season. Not only is it a win, but the strategy we chose also worked," he said on BBC Sport.
"Reduced tyre wear was one of the strengths of the car that we inherited from last season and it was useful because during Kimi's second stint the other cars were starting to challenge a bit more."

ASSOGIATION TRAINING SGtlOOL NOTES.
VOL. V. SPRINGFIELD, MASS., AUGUST, 1896. No.6.
Published Monthly during the School Year by the International Young Men'. Christian Associa¬tion Training School, Springfield, Mass. Subscription price, Twenty-five cents per annum. Address all communications to C. F. POWLlSON, Editor.
Entered at the post-office at Springfield, Mass., as second-class matter.
We wish to call the attention of young men of ability to the opportunities which the General Secretaryship and the Physical and Educational Departments of the Young Men's Christian Association offer for a lifework of surpassing usefulness and to the necessity for adequate training,for this important field. The problem of the day in the religious, political and sociological world is the problem of the city. The self-supporting young men of our cities are especially the class upon which the hopes of the church as well as the nation are built. The Young Men's Chris-tian Association offers to men of scholarly tastes and high pur¬poses unequaled opportunities for touching these problems at their core and at first hand.
There is room for trained men in this newer calling which the older and more crowded vocations of the ministry, law, med¬icine, and teaching do not offer. Here is work where you may be needed.
There is opportunity here to touch for Jesus Christ the most important class in the most important centers of America, the young men of our cities.
There is an opportunity to have a hand in moulding the policy of one of the greatest movements of the century. The Young Men's Christian Association is still a new organization and demands leaders who can win public confidence, more than the older professions, in which the lines of work are to a greater extent predetermined.

I have followed and known Gordon for over 35 years and am honored to have heard the best singer songwriter ever. Most recent at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering Ohio and in Akron at the Akron Civic Theatre 2010. His passion for music is unsurpassed- his emotion with which he sings continues to come through no matter what age- this will never change because Gordon and his songs are one- His love of the audience and their love of him blends both together- I am extremely proud of his accomplishments and again am honored to have known him . I would travel to all his shows if possible Gods Speed to Gordon and a great band - Rick, Terry, Barry and Michael
[3 of 7 customers found this review helpful]
The backup group was the highlight of the show. Gordon Lightfoot appeared all of his 71 years. It was very hard to hear him sing, and I think at first he wasn't even hitting the microphone. He seems to mumble when signing or talking to the audience. I was very dissapointed in the performance. I too would recommend buying the CDs and listening to what used to be. He seems to still be suffering the effects of his medical problems from 8 years ago. His right hand seems to be still paralyzed from the stroke--it hardly moves. Without the great lead guitarist, it really would have been a disaster.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
He still has it-- saw him at the Coach House in San Jaun Capistrano California late last year---- the voice is a bit quieter but waaaaaaay in tune, great phrasing and control and of course playing...this is THE guy who writes all of these songs and no one on the planet sings them as well as he--- I will still be buying tickets when this stud is just humming the tunes--- it is still a great experience--colors on the palet change but the art is still as good --- or better--- I have seen him a half dozen times going back to the Golden Bear in Huntington Bech in about 68 or so----he is the best...end of story----
[6 of 7 customers found this review helpful]
Gordon Lightfoot put on such a fabulous, magnificant @ charming performance at the Sunrise Theatre in Ft. Pierce, Florida 3-13-10 !!!! The years for each and every one of us takes its toll, however, he took us down "memory-lane" like no other artis could. Only those who were with him thru the 60's can appreciate his passion for music & his audiance. His presence and sence of homor was so enchanting! Look at your own self - nothing stays the same forever. He @ his band performed with tenderness and sincerity. If he comes to your town & you relate to his poetic essence, GET A TICKET! Remember, time stands still for no one! He was outstanding & took me back to a time & place of how beautiful music began. His talent and life experiences should have us all take a look at our accomplishments.Do YOU still sound & look the same 35 years ago? He was awesome! He surely can jam!

|Factoid :
|This episode marks the beginning of Star Treks use of Shakespeare extracts, which will continue throughout TNG. The title is from Hamlet, Act 2 Scene 2 : "The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King."
The overloading phaser incident calls for a "Double Red Alert", something never again mentioned.
This was the last episode Grace Lee Whitney filmed. She recalls that she went out and bought a bottle of wine afterwards, bringing it back and getting drunk in her dressing room. Unfortunately she would go on to struggle with drug and alcohol problems for years afterwards.
Riley was not originally scripted to be in this episode. But when the same actor was cast as a different character, the discrepancy was noticed and the script quickly rewritten to make it the same character, too.
Ronald D. Moore has said that this is his favourite episode of TOS. He named a ship in his Battlestar Galactica series the Astral Queen as a homage to the civilian ship mentioned in this one.
|Quote :
|"The chain of command is often a noose." - McCoy to Spock
"And this ship. All this power. Surging and throbbing, yet under control. Are you like that, captain?" - Lenore to Kirk; Oh my!
McCoy : "Do you play God? Carry his head through the corridors in triumph? That won't bring back the dead, Jim."
Kirk : "No. But they may rest easier."
"Blood thins. The body fails. One is finally grateful for a failing memory." - Karidian to Kirk
Lenore : "You are like your ship. Powerful, and not human. There is no mercy in you."
Kirk : "If he is Kodos, then I've shown him more mercy than he deserves."
"We've armed man with tools. Striving for greatness continues." - Kirk to Kodos; in response to the latter's claim that modern life has dehumanized Mankind
Lenore : "All the ghosts are dead. I've buried them. There's no more blood on your hands!"
Kodos : "Oh my child, my child! You've left me nothing!"
The Enterprise diverts off of its scheduled course to Planet Q, chasing a report of a new synthetic food which could be used to ease food shortages on Cygnia Minor. On arrival Kirk finds that Doctor Thomas Leighton has actually falsified the report in order to lure Kirk to the planet. He accuses a member of a travelling theatre group, Anton Karidian, of being the infamous Kodos the Executioner. Kodos was the governor of the Earth Colony Tarsus IV when a disaster struck it in 2246. With supplies due to run out before any relief arrived, Kodos executed 4000 of his own people in order to give the rest a chance of survival. The horrific plan backfired on him when the relief arrived early, making the deaths as unnecessary as they were unjustified. Leighton was a survivor of the incident, as was Kirk, and is obsessed by the idea that Karidian is Kodos. Though Kirk is unconvinced he agrees to take a look at Karidian and see if there is anything to it. He meets Lenore Karidian, the man's daughter, at a party and takes her for an evening walk. They stumble across Leighton's body, prompting Kirk to become more suspicious.
Kirk asks the Captain of the Astral Queen, the ship that had been transporting the Karidian group, to depart early without notifying them. Thus stranded, Lenore asks Kirk for assistance and he agrees to transport the group on the Enterprise. His research shows that Lieutenant Kevin Riley , a member of the Enterprise crew, is also a witness to the Tarsus massacre. Kirk orders him demoted to the engineering decks to keep him away from any danger, prompting curiosity on the part of the Enterprise officers. Spock discusses the incident with McCoy, and becomes suspicious as he does his own research in the records. He finds that of the nine people who might be able to identify Kodos, all but two are now dead. Even worse, all the deaths happened when the Karidian players were in the immediate vicinity.
As Riley sits a watch in engineering his drink is poisoned, and only quick medical intervention saves him. As he slowly recovers, Spock ponders that Kirk must surely be a target himself now. Whilst the First Officer is convinced that Karidian must be Kodos, Kirk remains uncertain. Whilst they talk, however, he hears a phaser building to an overload. They quickly search and locate the hidden weapon, just in time to dump it overboard before it explodes. Kirk goes to confront Karidian, challenging him directly on his identity. Kodos doesn't confirm it but doesn't quite deny it either. Kirk has him recite the speech Kodos made so that a voice analysis can be performed, but the analysis is not wholly conclusive.
In sickbay, Riley overhears McCoy mentioning the suspicion about Karidian's true identity. As the Karidian players begin a performance of Hamlet for the crew Riley arrives with a phaser. McCoy warns Kirk that he is gone, and the Captain catches and confronts Riley, convincing him to put the poser down. Karidian overhears them and the truth slowly emerges - he is Kodos, a fact his daughter was fully aware of. But it is she who has been murdering the witnesses, determined to keep her father's secret. Kodos is shattered by the news that the one good thing remaining in his life has produced yet more death, more blood on his hands. It becomes clear that Lenore is insane, as she rambles on about how she had to kill them and begins to recite Shakespeare to justify her actions. As security take them into custody Lenore snatches a phaser and fires at Kirk, the last witness. Kodos steps in the way of the shot and is killed. Being responsible for her father's death destroys Lenore, and she collapses completely into a fantasy world in which Kodos is still alive, performing to cheering crowds.
I've found myself kind of growing into this episode over the years. I first started watching Trek as a teenager, and back then I hated this one. Boring! And what's with all that Shakespeare stuff! Even on into adulthood it never really grabbed me, but as I've hit middle age I find myself enjoying it a lot more. Karidian especially is a fascinating character. You can feel the way his actions haunt him, the way he is so very, very tired of living the lie that his life has become. And how it truly does destroy him to find that his daughter, the one good thing left in his life, has secretly carried that burden as well, and been slowly broken by it without his even noticing. Can you think of any greater burden to place on a person? As much as we might hate Kodos for what he was and what he did, we can't help but sympathise with him as well. And how do we think of a "bad guy" whose last act is to sacrifice his life to save one of his own victims? Truly this is an episode to twist your emotions.
Lenore also is hardly the stereotypical "bad guy". Yes, she's a cold blooded killer many times over. And yet, she's not so much evil as she is insane. How do you cope with life when your own father is known on every world as a horrific monster? When you can't admit that you even know that to anybody, including him? Little wonder that they became actors when their very lives were nothing but a performance, even to one another.
And Kirk has his moments, too. Is he interested in justice, or interested in revenge? He does some pretty iffy things himself here, putting the moves on Lenore to try and worm information out of her. She calls him on it, too, when she finds out. It's rare that we see Kirk really wrestling with his doubt like this, and Shatner plays it very well indeed.
