boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't

Romantic movie! You probably won't star in a porno
anytime soon. You seem to be really into the
whole "love" thing...romantic sex
with perfumed sheets and candles all over the
place. You're probably a hopeless romantic. You
value sex and respect your partner too much to
do anything like porn. AWWWWWW! <3
What kind of porno would you star in?

Been crazy busy since Comic Con with traveling and working, so I've had precious little time to doodle nekid ladies. The good news is that in the very near future I'll be doing some paintings along these same lines. I'm still getting things organized, but I'm really excited about it. Meanwhile, here's a few gals, and also some life drawings from Dr. Sketchy's earlier tonight. That chainmail bikini and dagger with the roman arches behind her? Yeah, that's all just as it was. It was pretty awesome. Apparently she made that costume herself.

Chiropractor, DC
"Do you want your symptoms to go away temporarily...or do you want true healing? As a holistic healthcare practitioner, I like to help people who have chronic conditions find longer lasting -- or even permanent -- relief, without medications. Chronic pain and other conditions come from imbalances in three general areas: body structure (muscles, spine/joints) * body chemistry (nutrition) * mind/emotions (thoughts, feelings, and purpose). This is the philosophy behind the "Triad of Health," which is the way I view the path to true healing. The Triad of Health integrates body, mind, and spirit by addressing these three dimensions of health.

Chiropractic in Ridgely - is it right for me?
Ridgely Chiropractors specialize in the interactions between our nerves, muscles and skeleton and their effects on our general health. They diagnose problems and use manual therapy, including joint adjustment and manipulation, to prevent and treat them.
Many people who seek Ridgely chiropractic care do so for help with back pain, especially lower back pain, neck pain and headache. Spinal adjustment in Ridgely or chiropractic adjustment is the most common method of treatment--it refers to the manual adjustment by the chiropractor of the three-joint complex at the base of your spine with sufficient force to create a sensation of 'release', increasing the joint's range and reducing pain.
A treatment plan may involve one or more manual adjustments. Many chiropractors in Ridgely also incorporate nutritional counseling, exercise or rehabilitation into the treatment plan.
How is a Chiropractor licensed?

Chicago Police Changing Response Plan For Some 911 Calls
CHICAGO (CBS) – Starting this week, Chicago police are changing their responses to 911 calls. They'll no longer come right away to reports of things like criminal damage to property, vehicle thefts, garage burglaries, or other crimes in which the suspect is no longer on the scene, and the victim isn't in immediate danger.
[SNIP: Oh good. That will give people time to move the bodies]
The move will free up the equivalent of 44 police officers a day for patrol duties.
CBS 2′s Jim Williams spoke to some Chicagoans who think it's the wrong move for the police.
On the block where burglars broke into a home on Christmas Day, Carmen Curio has a strong opinion on the city's new 911 response plan.
"I think that's ridiculous. I think if there's a burglary, they've got to come. It's what we pay for. They have to come," she said.
Ald. Nick Sposato (36th) said the constituents in his Northwest Side ward pay high property taxes, so it's not asking too much for a police visit after a traumatic break-in.
"People are upset; they want to talk to a police officer. They want to know something is being done to prevent this in the future," sposato said.
Police Supt. Garry McCarthy insisted crime prevention "in the future" happens when officers are on patrol, not tied up taking reports at the scene of non-violent incidents.

the chicago police don't need to respond quickly because chicago is a gun free zone so no crime goes on there. what car jackings, burglaries, murders and drug selling is everyone talking about.+4
I propose a 25 cent tax on lattes in Cook County to cover the cost of full 911 service.+3
I'd like to see Chicago impose drug testing for those who are on any aid program.
If you can't pass the test, you don't get assistance.
with the money saved there, you then funnel that money into law enforcement to hire more police officers.+6
I think that Chicagoans should take the evidence to the nearest Police station after filling out a crime scene report.
Then, after administering the desk sergeant a proper foot massage, the case can be assigned to any cop who isn't busy dealing drugs or having sex with underage prostitutes.
"We do not defend – we apprehend."+4
Just pick up a gun, dial 911, blow off a few rounds for the operator to let them know you're getting shot and the cops will come "right away," no matter the "real" reason. Problem solved.+2
Back in the 1980′s I was with some people that were rear ended, and the Chitcago trash that rear ended us took off.
We had the license, make of car, description of the FIB that hit us. What we didn't find after an hour of searching was a cop that cared.
Nothing has changed in this absolute chithole of a city. Nothing.+5
They're forcing people to take matters into their own hands.+6
You don't need, and can't have guns because the cops will protect you…except, by the way, we won't send out the cops when you call.
A shining example of liberalism in action.+5
Hey Eternal- homicide victims fall under the category of "victim not in immediate danger".+4
Ricky, when all those parasites aren't getting their welfare checks/foodstamps anymore, more cops are going to be needed. A LOT more.+2
Sorry to say, but this is pretty much the response in most departments. You will eventually get a cop to respond, however, they are not going to move heaven and earth to find the bastard who broke in and stole your stuff. It's a property crime, and unless the crook left behind something like bodily fluids, obvious fingerprints, or took something easily traceable with registered serial numbers, you will get a report number and some insincere assurance that they are 'going to do all they can' to find the guy. Which means that once you get the pat on the head the cop is going to get some coffee and move on with his shift. Unless you have the burglar held at gunpoint or bleeding on the floor, they will not rush to you in most jurisdictions. Want fast response? Call 911 and say something unintelligible and mutter 'man with gun' then hang up. Don't answer the call back and you'll have the world at your door in under 3 minutes.+4
They may use the lack of police response to sell the idea that perhaps a military presence is needed on our streets. You cannot be too paranoid about what this regime has planned for us peasants.+5
'The move will free up the equivalent of 44 police officers a day for patrol duties.'
To do what?+5
@Maudie, those donuts aren't going to eat themselves!
This is something new??
Back in the mid-'90s when I was living in Chicago, I naively thought having my car broken into and ransacked INSIDE my also thoroughly-pillaged garage was a response-worthy incident. Silly me. I was graciously allowed to make a report in person with a thoroughly disinterested blueshirt down at the 13th Precinct, though.
Property crimes long ago stopped being even a blip on the CPD radar. But, hey, my taxable income and I voted with our feet…+2
So instead of taking reports and investigating crimes, they'll be sitting on their ever-widening asses driving aimlessly around.
Taxpayers should initiate a new program in Chicago, designed to free up 44 officers per shift.
SHOOT criminals first – call 911 later… when you feel like it… or can get around to it… if you REALLY want to… perhaps… if it's not too much trouble… & you can spare the time… maybe…+4
Just have your SS people take care of it …
what're y'all whining about?0
Actually, 911 response will be on the same schedule as garbage day. Free body pickup and disposal at the landfill.+2

Hortencia was very sweet to me and my 3 month old. She waited to do the vacuuming and cleaned the farther side away from the napping baby first. This is the second time she has cleaned the house and she did a great job both times. She was very nice.
I love the service. The women do a great job.

I'm a young dude in college and I have the most wicked nipples that stick out too far. You can see them when I wear a t-shirt or any shirt for that matter. I really need to get these nips fixed. They did not even get like this til like I was a junior or senior in high school. It's not weight gain either i'm well underweight it's just my nipples that stick out. Does anyone know if insurance will pay for this procedures?? And what plastic surgeons do male breast reduction surgery just for the nipples? I'm in Key West so any Florida based doctors would be awesome I want to make sure I got to the best because I don't want my nipples messed up more.
sorry mister but i don't think insurance will cover diddley squat. they really only cover something if it's causing a medical problem and even then they try and be cheap on ya. i would guess the cost of nipple reduction surgery isn't that much though because it's a pretty simple thing.
Yes insurance will pay for male nipple reduction surgery {or any nipple reduction procedure} as soon the war on terrorism is over and hell freezes over.
Insurance will not pay for nipple reduction surgery or any other surgery which is purely cosmetic. THe only circumstance in which your health insurance may partially cover plastic surgery are reconstructive cases or where the problem intereferes with your health, such as excessive scar tissue which prohibits normal muscle movement.

i started out not liking it. War books aren't really my thing, neither is Greek mythology, but I knew a little bit about it from college, and it was our book club read, so I gave it a shot.
I love m/m novels, so that was a bonus.
Took me a while to get into it, but overall I thought it was a nice story! A nice re-telling of a part of mythology that doesn't always get touched on.
Admittedly, I am a biased reviewer. The author and I attended the same high school & college (she was 2 years ahead of me), and I am a very proud alum, a moderate classics nerd, and a sucker for tragic love stories. But I really did love this book. And it inspired me to read the copy of the Iliad that's been on my bookshelf for a dozen years.
I had heard bad things about TSoA, when I picked it up at the local library I could not remember what those were but after a couple of pages I decided to keep going. I am not much of a historical fiction fan but definitely enjoy M/M love stories so all in all, the plot was attractive. I did not expect, despite knowing the myth it is based on, to end up weeping and clutching my book in desperation. I also did not expect to finish the book so fast, what with work and other books I am reading simultaneously but if one thing must be said for The Song of Achilles is that it is readable, the kind of story that will not let go of you. Part of it it´s its mythic power, the fact that a retelling always feels closer and more personal to a reader aware of the original. Like a rumour finally clarified into truth, a secret spilled in its totality... but another part is Miller´s skill with language. It is true that sometimes her poetic narrator seems to go a bit far with his metaphors but, although I did not find all of them moving, focalized through his personality I found them believable.
One thing I would have liked is to have seen more of Achilles. Patroclus whole universe revolves around him and yet, Achilles rarely gets any words printed. He is what Patroclus thinks he is, not a person on his own right. In a way this reflects the way the myth creates the characters but although I believe Patroclus loves him, I can´t seem to share in the sentiment because Achilles is, simply, too far. Patroclus himself, on the other hand, as well as many other characters in considerable less depth (Tethis, Odysseus) become individuals but not so his philtatos.
I read this one for the book club. It's a retelling of pre-Iliad and Iliad events through the eyes of Patroclus, Achilles' childhood friend and later comrade and lover.
It's pretty bad when my favorite characters end up being Thetis, Achilles' sea goddess mother, and Chiron, the boys' centaur teacher. As for the main love story, it just didn't grab me--just because it's slash fanfiction doesn't mean it's automatically deep.
Things that turned me off were the wandering verb tenses (some text is in present tense; some in past tense, with no rhyme or reason), typos (Phoinix/Phoenix), and the presence of threatened and actual rape (although I do think the author kept it to a minimum).
Positives: The political maneuvering between the immortals and mortals, and giving us the sense of just how LONG the siege of Troy dragged on. But overall, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
Retelling if The Iliad with gay Achilles and awkward Patroclus
That The Song of Achilles offers a different take on the epic story of Achilles and the Trojan War is not, in itself, anything particularly out of the ordinary. People have been putting their own spins on The Iliad from the instant Homer finished reciting it. What's startling about this sharply written, cleverly re-imagined, enormously promising debut novel from Madeline Miller is how fresh and moving her take on the tale is — how she has managed to bring Achilles and his companion Patroclus to life in our time without removing them from their own.
But in the case of Miller, who earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in classics at Brown, the epic reach exceeds her technical grasp. The result is a book that has the head of a young adult novel, the body of the "Iliad" and the hindquarters of Barbara Cartland.

NEED HELP! The college network a scam? Does Excelsior College work?! - page 4
Hi Everyone! I am in need of some guidance from someone who is either enrolled or who recently graduated from Excelsior College. I just graduated from my LPN program in New Jersey and have not yet even taken my NCLEX, however I... Read More
- 1Jul 25, '12 by maggie1990I'm actually just going to Raritan Valley Community College. It may take a little longer but at least I can take spanish and be in a classroom enviornment. We'll see how it goes. Now the problem is do I wait until January to start classes so I can pass NCLEX and start a job? (so that way I can schedule classes around work) or do I start classes in August and then try and find work around class? I know the latter is more difficult, however I suppose either way it will be a challenge.
Just also wanted to say that last night I officially graduated! It was a nice ceremony and it just fuels me to further my education and become the RN I want to be <3
- 0Jul 25, '12 by WorseNurseA girl I work with uses TCN and she really likes them. I just bought the study guide from sg101 for tests 1&2 for 10$ and I have 3000 pages worth of material. That seems like a hard deal to beat for me. There are hundreds of questions to quiz yourself on.
- 0Jul 27, '12 by PrayeRNurseWhen you have your RN and want to move onto the BSN look into Arizona State University RN_BSN program. It is excelent! I think EC has a great one also however I am doing ASU's and I am very pleased so far! Just passing on info!
- 0Aug 18, '12 by Nurse0804I tried reading everything excelsior recommended for over a year and was just frustrated and getting no where so finally looked into ten, chancellors, and rueEd. I chose to go with rueEd and have not regretted it. They financed my testing fees too sp yeah I pay them $125 a month for a long time but I have their study guides great, have passed everything so far and when I want to take an exam just request fee from them and they send me a check. It takes a good three weeks to get exam fee but with carefu planning is ok. For me this was an affordable option.Last edit by JustBeachyNurse on Aug 18, '12 : Reason: tos--no solicitation/no buying/selling materials

Nick Minaj amps up the sex appeal in a new photo shoot for V Magazine!
Wearing tribal body paint and clothes from Versace, the rapper tells the mag of her style "Everything I do has been approved by me personally. My team is mostly made up of guys, but none of them would ever think about telling me what to wear or what to do with my hair. They know that ultimately I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do."
"Some will hate it and some will love it, but all will remember it," she adds, "And that's what I want: to be remembered."
It's definitely a memorable shoot -- check out all the photos above!
Here's my two cents: Minaj is ugly as h'll, needs to fix her face and quit with her trying to be whitegirl-image, take out all her implants including the ones in her fake ass and boobs, last but not least - TAKE SOME VOCAL LESSONS!
umm 1st of all nicki aint ugly & apparently yhu are since yhu on here bein a hater talkin about her image . dnt be mad cz yhu cant make the money that she does & the implants (if they are) look great on her . so stop being a hater because nicki can sing

LST-1154 was laid down on 4 August 1945 at the Boston Navy Yard; launched on 19 July 1946; sponsored by Mrs. Wilder D. Baker; and commissioned on 24 May 1949, Comdr. Courtland T. Babcock in command.
From her commissioning until 1962, LST-1154 alternated assignments for the Amphibious Force, Atlantic Fleet along the east coast of the United States with assignment to the 6th Fleet during periodic deployments to the Mediterranean. She was redesignated Talla-hatchie County (LST-1154) (q.v.) after a county in Mississippi on 1 July 1955. She was converted to an advance aviation base ship and redesignated AVB-2 on 3 February 1962. For the remainder of her career, Tallahatchie County provided support to aviation units in the Mediterranean. She was decomissioned on 15 June 1970 and struck from the Navy list. Tallahatchie County was sold for scrap to Contieri Navali Santa Maria, Genoa, Italy, in July 1970.
The advanced aviation base ship Tallahatchie County (AVB-2) was converted from LST-1154, one of two ships of the steam-powered LST-1153-class. Her after superstructure has been extended forward and her forecastle built up; electronic antennas and a heavy kingpost are mounted amidships. As an AVB, Tallahatchie County was designed to provide command and logistic facilities to a squadron of antisubmarine patrol planes operating from an improvised land base. Squadron equipment was carried in mobile vans, transported in Tallahatchie County's tank deck, and landed over her bow ramp.

Gorgeous, but one little issue... I'm so excited to see spring clothes and, in that spirit, I had to have this pretty frock! It's really really lovely in person. The fabric is textured and, while thicker, still light. It will be great for warm weather. The fit is good--on the looser side, but still true to size, and the full skirt is quite flattering and hits high enough to keep it flirty but still appropriate. The print is really lovely and the blue on the bottom is a great pop. But there's an issue: the zipper on the one I got gets stuck at the waist seam, despite there being plenty of room in the dress there. And I mean STUCK. It took two people and caused blisters on my finger to get it up. It wasn't a fit issue or anything. Even off, the zipper was quite hesitant at that spot. I'm debating whether to return it because it's a pain and I fear it could cause the zipper to break after a few wears. But I love the look! Perhaps it is just my dress, so give it a try at least!

EAU CLAIRE —"Distant," a 2002 Turkish drama that received three prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, will be presented Nov. 4-7 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the film will screen at 6 and 8:30 p.m. Thursday through Sunday in Davies Theatre.
"Distant" marks the unbridgeable distances that isolate two men who temporarily share an Istanbul flat. The film relates the story of two distant relatives — a bitter photographer (Muzaffer Ozdemir) and his undisciplined cousin (Mehmet Emin Toprak) from the country — who live together for a time in a great city of wintry melancholy.
In his four-star review of the film, Chicago Tribune critic called the film "a Chekhovian tale of major artistic power.
"'Distant' is a slow but stunning Turkish film, a beautifully crafted work that tells the kind of story only a movie can manage quite so well," Wilmington wrote. "It's a simple story. But Ceylan tells it with compassion, perception and sometimes mesmerizing visual beauty. A photographer like Mahmut, Ceylan shot this film and his images make Istanbul come alive in ways few films or filmmakers have managed. ... 'Distant' won the best actor award at Cannes for both Ozdemir and Toprak (who tragically died in a motorcycle accident after winning the Turkish Oscar for the same role)."
In Turkish subtitled in English, the 110-minute color film is not rated.
Admission is $2 for International Film Society members and UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff and $1 for UW-Eau Claire students. Tickets are available at the University Service Center in Davies Center's east lobby, (715) 836-3727.
The film is sponsored by the UW-Eau Claire International Film Society.

Single man looking for tax breaks. One child. Only debt is college
loan. Good IRA. No itemizing, please.
If the Internal Revenue Service ran a personals
service, it probably would get a lot of ads like this. There's a
lot of hoopla, especially in tax filing season, about the deductibility
of this and the deductibility of that.
But deductions are only good if you itemize,
and most Americans don't. Instead, the majority of filers use the
standard deduction.
So what's a guy like the one in the ad to do
when it comes to finding ways to cut his tax bill? Plenty.
If he paid alimony, contributed to a self-employed
pension plan, paid student loan interest or had moving costs, they
can help reduce his tax bill. Then there are various tax credits,
which, if he qualifies, can chop his tax bill even more without
a Schedule A anywhere in sight.
price of convenience
In the tax world, simplicity has a price.
Folks who have uncomplicated tax lives tend
to use Form
1040EZ. But they could be cheating themselves.
The EZ's appeal is that it's short and to the
point. No fuss, no muss, but only one tax break. Even that -- the
Income Credit -- is not available if you make a good living.
For more tax breaks, consider filing a more
detailed return. It may take a bit longer, but Form
1040A provides a dozen possible chances to reduce taxes. And
you get more than double that number of tax-saving opportunities
with the longer Form
Both of the longer returns offer adjustments
to income, sometimes called above-the-line
deductions because they are reported just before the line on
each form where you tally your adjusted gross income. Like the classic
Schedule A deductions, they reduce taxable income. Less income equals
less tax. The only downside is that some adjustments require completion
of another form or worksheet.
These longer returns also provide more tax credits
that, like deductions, can help reduce what you owe. The added beauty
of credits is that they slice your tax bill after you've already
figured what you owe.
adjustment opportunities
The easiest way to reduce tax bills is to reduce income. Rather
than turning down your next raise, try taking some of the income
adjustments the IRS offers to filers of 1040A or 1040 forms.
If you're a teacher, don't skip the first income
adjustment opportunity. The educator
expenses deduction should let you use some of the money you
spent on classroom materials to directly trim your taxable income.
And it's not restricted to teachers; counselors, principals, aides
and instructors at public or private elementary and secondary schools
also can claim up to $250 they paid out of their own pockets for
school supplies.
The amount is relatively small, but more taxpayers
should be able to claim at least a portion of their school-related
expenditures. In the past, educators could claim such costs only
if they included them as miscellaneous itemized deductions on Schedule
A. Even then, they couldn't be used unless all a filer's allowable
sundry costs totaled at least 2 percent of adjusted gross income.
Next is the adjustment for traditional
IRA contributions. Any retirement money you put away must follow
the usual deductibility guidelines. For example, the limit is $3,000
and a portion of your deduction may be limited if you're covered
by a pension plan at work.
If you are paying off a school loan, don't skip
the next line. Here you can subtract up to $2,500 of interest paid
on a "qualified" student loan. A loan qualifies in the
IRS' eyes if the money pays for your higher education expenses or
those of your spouse or a person who was your dependent when the
loan was obtained. And former students paying off longer-term loans
no longer have to worry about the 60-month limit on interest payments.
Another education-related income adjustment,
the tuition
and fees deduction, could reduce your taxable income by up to
$3,000. As with the student loan deduction, you qualify if you pay
IRS-accepted higher education expenses for yourself, your spouse
or a dependent. The deduction is not available, however, if you
make more than $65,000 or if you use claim the Hope or Lifetime
Learning tax credits. And if you used money from a state tuition
plan, a Coverdell educational savings account or interest on savings
bonds you cashed to pay for class, you have to subtract those amounts
from your expenses to arrive at the allowable tuition and fees deductible
Instruction books for both forms -- Form
1040 instructions and Form
1040A instructions -- provide detailed eligibility guidelines
as well as worksheets for these adjustments to help you determine
if they can help your specific tax situation.
1040 adjustments
This is the end of the line for adjustments found on Form 1040A.
But with the 1040, the income adjustment list keeps going.
You can subtract moving expenses that meet requirements
detailed on Form
If you're self-employed, you get several income
Did you cash in a certificate of deposit and
pay an early withdrawal penalty? The IRS lets you subtract that
fee here.
And divorced filers get a chance to recoup alimony
payments. Be sure to include the Social Security number of your
ex-spouse. The IRS wants to make sure he or she reports the payments
as income, and if the recipient's tax ID number isn't on your return,
the adjustment could be disallowed.
There also are several other specific deductions
-- such as contributions to an Archer medical savings account, performing
arts expenses, jury duty pay given to your employer, and the increasingly
popular deduction for the purchase of a clean-fuel
vehicle -- available to some 1040 filers. Details on what they
are and who is eligible can be found in the Form 1040 instructions.
These adjustments, when subtracted from total
income, can dramatically reduce a taxpayer's total income, resulting
in what is known as adjusted gross income. When you use this lower
AGI, your taxable income -- what you get after next subtracting
your exemption and standard deduction amounts -- will be less, as
will your eventual tax bill.
But don't stop. Now it's credit time.
credits to get to zero tax
While the long 1040 is the clear winner in the income adjustment
sweepstakes, the 1040A offers more competition in the credits contest.
Credits cut your bill directly, dollar-for-dollar,
because they are subtracted from the actual tax you owe. Both of
the longer 1040 forms allow eligible taxpayers to take:
Since these credits are subtracted
from the amount of tax you owe, they can take your tax bill down
to zero if you have enough credits. But that's as far as they go,
and as such are called nonrefundable credits.
Other, more specific, nonrefundable credits
provide the slim margin of victory for Form 1040 in the credit contest.
It's only on the longer form that a taxpayer
can get credit for foreign
income taxes paid. These generally are in connection with stocks
or other investment accounts, and might require completion of Form
There also are several other specific credits
-- such as ones for electric vehicle owners, first-time homeowners
in Washington, D.C., and state or local mortgage credits -- available
to some 1040 filers. Again, details on who is eligible for these
can be found in the Form 1040 instructions.
Two tax credits are refundable. They can get you cash back from
the IRS if you don't owe any tax or increase any refund you have
coming. They are:
is tax money -- saved or lost
All these adjustments and credits are available to any eligible
taxpayer, regardless of whether they take the standard deduction
or itemize. Because those who itemize deductions are already in
the form-filing mode, they tend to pay more attention to these tax-saving
Many taxpayers accustomed to Form 1040EZ often
complain about the time it takes to complete the extra forms and
worksheets. But if you don't itemize, these forms offer you the
best chance to cut your tax bill. A bit more time could mean added
money to you, instead of to Uncle Sam.
The savings may even be big enough to let you
hire someone to fill out all paperwork and still end up with extra
cash this tax season!

Season summaries

A Formula One race or Grand Prix is a sporting event which takes place over three days (usually Friday to Sunday), with a series of practice and qualifying sessions prior to a race on Sunday.
Current regulations provide for two free practice sessions on Friday, a morning practice session and an afternoon qualifying session held on Saturday, and the race held on Sunday afternoon or evening, though the structure of the weekend has changed numerous times over the history of the sport.
At most Formula One race weekends, other events such as races in other FIA series (such as the GP2 Series) are staged.
Free practice sessions[edit]
Since 2006, three practice sessions are held before the race; the first on Friday morning and the second on Friday afternoon. Both sessions last one and a half hours. The third session is held on Saturday morning and lasts an hour. A third driver is permitted to take part in the Friday free practice sessions in the place of a regular driver.[1] With testing in the middle of the season banned, many teams will nominate their third driver to take part in the first session. The Monaco Grand Prix traditionally begins on a Thursday, with Friday as a day of rest. Practice sessions for the Singapore and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix take place in the evening as these races are run at night.
Qualifying sessions[edit]
Traditionally before 1996, qualifying was split into two one-hour sessions; the first was held on Friday afternoon from 13:00 to 14:00 local time, with the second held on Saturday afternoon at the same time. The fastest time set by each driver from either session counted towards his final grid position. Each driver was limited to twelve laps per qualifying session.[2]
In 1996, qualifying was amended with the Friday qualifying session abolished in a favour for a single qualifying session held on Saturday afternoon. As previously, each driver was limited to twelve laps with the inclusion of a 107% rule to exclude drivers with slow lap times. This was calculated by using the time of the driver on pole position and adding on 7% to create a cut-off time.[3] This format remained until the conclusion of the 2002 season.
Between 2003 and 2005, the qualifying session was run as a one-lap session and took place on Friday and Saturday afternoon. The cars were run one at a time; the Friday running order was determined with the leader of the Drivers' Championship heading out first. The Saturday running order was determined by times set in Friday afternoon qualifying with the fastest heading out last and the slowest running first. The lap times from the Friday afternoon session did not determine the grid order.[4] Minor adjustments followed in 2004 with the Friday afternoon session being moved to Saturday morning.[5] In 2005, the sessions were held on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Lap times from both sessions were counted to give the overall aggregate position.[6] From the 2005 European Grand Prix onwards, the Sunday morning session was dropped for a single run on Saturday afternoon having proved unpouplar with drivers, teams and broadcasters.[7][8]
Since 2006, qualifying takes place on Saturday afternoon in a three-stage "knockout" system. One hour is dedicated to determining the grid order, divided into three periods with short intermissions between them.
Currently, the first qualifying period is eighteen minutes long, with all twenty-two cars on the circuit. The six slowest drivers are eliminated, and they fill positions seventeen to twenty-two on the grid. Any driver attempting to set a qualifying time when the period ends is permitted to finish his lap, though no new laps may be started once the chequered flag is shown. After a short break, the second period begins, with sixteen cars on the circuit. At the end of the fifteen-minute period, the six slowest drivers are once again eliminated, filling grid positions eleven to sixteen. Finally, the third qualifying period features the ten fastest drivers from the second period. The drivers have twelve minutes to set a qualifying time, which will determine the top ten positions on the grid. The driver who sets the fastest qualifying time is said to be on pole position, the grid position that offers the best physical position to start the race from.[9]
Drivers may complete as many laps as they choose. However, the top ten drivers must start the race on the set of tyres they used for qualifying. These may only be changed if qualifying and the race are held under different weather conditions, or if a tyre is damaged as a result of an accident. The remaining twelve drivers are free to start the race with any tyres they choose.
Generally, a driver will leave the pits and drive around the track in order to get to the start/finish line (the out-lap). Having crossed the line, they will attempt to achieve the quickest time around the circuit that they can in one or more laps (the flying lap or hot lap). This is the lap time which is used in calculating grid position. Finally, the driver will continue back around the track and re-enter the pit-lane (the in-lap). However, this is merely strategy, and no teams are obligated by the rules to follow this formula.
As of 2014 only eleven teams are entered for the Formula One World Championship, each entering two cars for a total of twenty-two cars. The regulations place a limit of twenty-six entries for the championship. At some periods in the history of Formula One the number of cars entered for each race has exceeded the number permitted, which historically would vary from race to race according to the circuit used. Monaco, for example, for many years allowed only twenty cars to compete because of the restricted space available. The slowest cars excess to the circuit limit would not qualify for the race and would be list as 'Did Not Qualify' (DNQ) in race results.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s the number of cars attempting to enter each race was as high as thirty-nine for some races. Because of the dangers of having so many cars on the track at the same time, a pre-qualifying session was introduced for the teams with the worst record over the previous six months, including any new teams. Only the four fastest cars from this session were then allowed into the qualifying session proper, where thirty cars competed for twenty-six places on the starting grid for the race. The slowest cars from the pre-qualifying session were listed in race results as 'Did Not Pre-Qualify' (DNPQ). Pre-qualifying was discontinued after 1992 when many small teams withdrew from the sport.
107% rule[edit]
As the number of cars entered in the world championship fell below twenty-six, a situation arose in which any car entered would automatically qualify for the race, no matter how slowly it had been driven. The 107% rule was introduced in 1996 to prevent completely uncompetitive cars being entered in the championship. If a car's qualifying time was not within 107% of the pole sitter's time, that car would not qualify for the race, unless at the discretion of the race stewards for a situation such as a rain affected qualifying session. For example, if the pole-sitter's time was one minute and forty seconds, then all cars must set a time within one minute and forty-seven seconds.
The 107% rule was removed since the FIA's rules indicated previously that 24 cars can take the start of a Formula One race, and a minimum of twenty cars must enter a race. In 2003, the qualifying procedure changed to a single-lap system, rendering the rule inoperable. However, there were concerns about the pace of the new teams in the 2010 season. As the qualifying procedure had been changed since the 2006 season to a three-part knockout system, the rule could now be reintroduced. As such, the 107% rule has been reintroduced for the 2011 Formula One season. Currently, cars have to be within 107% of the fastest Q1 time in order to qualify for the race.[10]
- See Formula One regulations for detailed information on the race start procedure.
The race itself is held on Sunday afternoon or evening. Thirty minutes prior to race time, the cars take to the track for any number of warm-up laps, provided they pass through the pit lane and not the grid, after which they assemble on the starting grid in the order they qualified. At the hour of the race, a green light signifies the beginning of the relatively slow formation lap during which all cars parade around the course doing a final tire warmup and system checks. The cars then return to their assigned grid spot for the standing race start. The starting light system, which consists of five pairs of lights mounted above the start/finish line, then lights up each pair at one-second intervals. Once all five pairs are illuminated, after a random length of time (one to nine seconds), the red lights are turned off by the race director, at which point the race starts. The race length is defined as the smallest number of complete laps that exceeds 305 kilometers (the Monaco Grand Prix is the sole exception with a race length of 78 laps / 260.5 km), though occasionally some races are truncated due to special circumstances. The race can not exceed two hours in length; if this interval is reached the race will be ended at the end of that lap.
Teams are supplied by the sole tyre supplier (currently Pirelli which replaced Bridgestone in 2011), and receive two different types of slick dry tyre compounds: "Prime" tyres (offiically the Hard or Medium compounds), and "Option" tyres (Soft and Super-soft compounds). The Prime tyres are more durable than the Option tyres, however the Option tyres produce faster lap times than the Prime tyres (the Option tyres are said to be one second per lap quicker than the Prime tyres, though this figure varies between circuits). While the drivers who qualified between first and tenth are required to use the tyres they qualified with to start the race; the other drivers have freedom over which tyres they can start with, which can give those who qualified in eleventh and twelfth place a slight advantage over those placed ninth and tenth in the race. Each driver is also required to use both types of dry compound during a dry race, and so must make a mandatory pit-stop.
Drivers used to make pitstops for fuel more than once during a race though refuelling during the race has been banned since the 2010 season. The cars, on average, get around two kilometres per litre (approximately five miles per gallon). Timing pitstops with reference to other cars is crucial - if they are following another car but are unable to pass, the driver may try to stay on the track as long as possible, as usually a car with worn tyres and low fuel load is faster than a car with new tyres and heavy fuel load.
At the end of the race, the first, second and third-placed drivers take their places on a podium, where they stand as the national anthem of the race winner's home country and that of his team is played. Dignitaries from the country hosting the race then present trophies to the drivers and a constructor's trophy to a representative from the winner's team, and the winning drivers spray champagne and are interviewed, often by a former racing driver. The three drivers then go to a media room for a press conference where they answer questions in English and their native languages.
Points system[edit]
Points are awarded to drivers and teams exclusively on where they finish in a race. The winner receives 25 points, the second place finisher 18 points, with 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 points for positions 3 through 10.[11] If a race has to be abandoned before 75% of the planned distance has been completed all points are halved. In a dead heat, prizes and points are added together and shared equally for all those drivers who tie. The winner of the annual championship is the driver (or team, for the Constructors' Championship) with the most points. If the number of points is the same, priority is given to the driver with more wins. If that is the same it will be decided on the most second places and so on.[12]
Historically, the races were scored on the basis of a five-place tally: i.e. via an 8-6-4-3-2 scoring system, with the holder of the fastest race lap also receiving a bonus point. In 1961, the scoring was revised to give the winner nine points instead of eight, and the single point awarded for fastest lap was given for sixth place for the first time the previous year. In 1991, the points system was again revised to give the victor 10 points, with all other scorers recording the same 6-4-3-2-1 result. In 2003, the FIA further revised the scoring system to apportion points to the first eight classified finishers (a classified finisher must complete 90% of race distance) on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.[13]
At certain periods in Formula One's history, the world champion has been determined by virtue of the "best 7 scores" in each "half" of the world championship, meaning that drivers have had to "discard" lower scores in either half of the season. This was done in order to equalise the footings of teams which may not have had the wherewithal to compete in all events. With the advent of the Concorde Agreements, this practice has been discontinued, though it did feature prominently in several world championships through the 1970s and 1980s.
The change in the awarding of world championship points has rendered the comparison of historical teams and drivers to current ones largely ineffective. For instance, Michael Schumacher is widely credited with being the most successful GP driver of all time. While his statistics are very impressive and easily outstrip those of his nearest competitor, it is worth noting that his points tally vs points available, and winning percentage of grands prix entered, do not significantly exceed those of Juan Manuel Fangio, whom he recently dethroned as winner of the most World Championships. As with most other sports, it is very difficult to compare stars of different eras owing to the changes in the sport and regulations.
Worldwide appeal[edit]
Despite having the highest budget in all of auto racing, Formula One racing has often been accused of being unexciting when compared to less expensive categories. The differences in driver ability are usually dwarfed when compared to the relative speed of the different makes of cars, and on-track overtaking is very rare due to the aerodynamics of trailing cars being adversely affected by the car in front (making overtaking only possible by very risky and thus rarely taken chances, or a much faster car trailing a slower one). So, beginning in the 2011 season F1 adopted 2 new innovations to help with passing/overtaking and to bring a little more excitement to the races. These innovations are "DRS" and the "KERS" systems. The DRS (Drag Reduction System) allows for one of the horizontal fins/blade on the rear spoiler to be "lifted" open which reduces the downforce and increases the race car speed. This system is only operable on straightaways where rear downforce is not as important. The system cannot be activated unless the driver is within (1) second or less behind the car he is trying to pass. The DRS zones on each track are set by the F1 governing body. And although the system on is controlled by computers and timers, the driver has to activate it by pushing a button on the steering wheel when he wants to use it. The "KERS" (kinetic energy recovery system) grabs and stores the energy usually lost during braking (which has always been wasted) and stores the energy into the batteries. Again, when allowed and the driver wants to use this system it is a matter of pushing a button and the engine gets another 60-80 horse power for a short time. The system will deplete/discharge this stored energy quickly and the driver has to wait until it gets charged back up. Also the use of electronic driver aids such as semi-automatic gearboxes and traction control has been widely criticized by F1 fans around the globe. Traction control was banned in the 2008 Formula One season.
The sport is lesser-known in the United States than the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series or their mostly domestic open-wheel racing series, the IndyCar Series, but in terms of budgets and global TV audiences F1 is bigger than both combined.
Estimates for Ferrari's racing budget in 1999 were around 240 million USD, and even tailender Minardi reportedly spent 50 million. Estimates of TV audiences are around 300 million per race.
