Cullen Stanton Rutherford is a Fereldan templar.
[show]Background Edit
As a child he was fascinated by the templars and begged them to teach him. Eventually the local Knight-Commander spoke to Cullen's parents on his behalf and, with their blessing, he left home to join the order at the age of thirteen.
Involvement Edit
Dragon Age: Origins Edit
During the Magi Origin, Cullen is the templar assigned to execute the Magi if they were to fail their Harrowing and become an abomination. It is later revealed that he had feelings for a female mage and hated the idea of having to be the one to kill her. If the Warden tries to pursue relations with Cullen, he ends up becoming extremely nervous and runs away with the excuse of attending other duties.
Cullen will be found once again as the last surviving templar in the upper levels of the Circle Tower during the Broken Circle quest. When the Warden meets him trapped inside a magical prison (conjured by Uldred), he tries to dismiss the Warden as another illusion which points out that is how Uldred saw fit to torture the templars he had captured. If the Warden is a female mage, Cullen will reveal his infatuation with her.
Once Cullen has calmed down, he will try to convince the Warden to kill all the mages in the Harrowing Chamber, not just Uldred and the abominations, as he fears they may be blood mages in hiding.
If the Warden does not side with him, then he will try one last ditch effort to get the mages killed by complaining to Knight-Commander Greagoir, however Greagoir values Irving's word more. When siding with Cullen, the Warden will have the chance to agree with Cullen's complaint to Greagoir, which in turn even leads Irving to agreeing as well. In this event, the mages are all put under the watch of Cullen until something can be decided to do with them.
There are several rumors about Cullen's fate after the Fifth Blight, which may be revealed if the Warden was a mage or if they sided with him during the outbreak of abominations in the Circle Tower. If the Warden sided with Cullen, or was a mage who did not grant the Circle Tower autonomy, then the rumors say that Cullen will eventually become Knight-Commander of the Circle Tower after Greagoir retires, watching over the magi with a much more strict and cruel regime than even Greagoir had. If the Warden was a mage and did not side with Cullen, and gives the tower autonomy, the templar endures festering mental scars from his experience in the tower. This leads to an eventual mental breakdown during which he kills three mage apprentices before fleeing. These rumors are later revealed to be fictional.Witch HuntEdit
The Darkspawn ChroniclesEdit
Dragon Age II Edit
Cullen was sent by Knight-Commander Greagoir to the Circle in Kirkwall, where he was promoted to Knight-Captain and second-in-command to Knight-Commander Meredith. He eventually encountered and became a recurring associate of Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall.
Cullen's view on mages and magic have developed since his service under Greagoir. As a templar, Cullen accepts his duty to monitor the Circle of Magi and bring apostates to the Circle. As the story progresses, Cullen will confess to Hawke that Meredith is leading the Kirkwall Templar Order down a path he does not support. Cullen maintains that the Templar Order's purpose is not only to protect the population from magic, but also to protect the mages that the templars are sworn to oversee. As a result he begins to have doubts about his loyalty to Meredith versus his loyalty to the Templar Order.
Hawke first meets Cullen while Cullen is on an investigation and is interrogating a templar recruit about other recruits who have been recently disappearing. Later, if a non-mage Hawke does not take Bethany to the Deep Roads, it is Cullen who takes Bethany to the Circle. After Hawke's encounter with Ser Alrik, Cullen will discuss the merits of the Rite of Tranquility, but will insist that he did not support Alrik's "Tranquil Solution" and give his opinion that the current system of the Harrowing and hunting down maleficarum is the best solution. Cullen alerts Hawke to the accusations against Aveline and participates in the resolution of the short-lived conspiracy to oust Knight-Commander Meredith.
Cullen and the other templars attack the Gallows after Meredith invokes the Right of Annulment. If Hawke sides with the templars, they will be asked to decide the fate of 3 mages who surrender. If Hawke asks Cullen for an opinion, Cullen questions the necessity of annulling the Kirkwall Circle. He says the situation in Ferelden was much more dire and even then they saved some of the mages. In response, Meredith asks Cullen if he will take responsibility if it is proven that their prisoners are blood mages, Cullen answers that he believes that is what being a templar is about.
During the final confrontation with Meredith, Cullen orders her to step down when she orders Hawke to be executed, stating that they had agreed only to arrest the Champion. Meredith will accuse him and the surviving templars of being blood mage thralls and then attack. Cullen will fight alongside Hawke.
If Hawke sides with the mages, Cullen will stand down after Meredith's defeat and allow Hawke to leave the city peacefully. Should Hawke side with the templars however, Cullen and the surviving templars kneel before Hawke after Meredith's defeat, earning the respect of the templars, and winning Hawke the position of Viscount.Dragon Age: Inquisition Edit
Following the Kirkwall Rebellion, Cullen rallied what remained of the city's templars and restored order. Seeing his potential, Cassandra Pentaghast recruited him into the Inquisition, granting him the rank of Commander.[2] He now leads the military arm of the organization and serves as the tactical advisor to the Inquisitor.[3]
When asked about his feelings about mages, he states that he has seen the suffering that magic can inflict and has treated mages with distrust because of it in the past - sometimes without cause. He admits that it was unworthy of him and says that he will try not to do so in the future. However, he still thinks that mages should be checked with safeguards to protect people - including the mages. Though he disagrees with the Templar Order's actions, he sympathizes with the Order's frustrations of having their work taken for granted.
As the war council assembles, Cassandra and Leliana suggest approaching the rebel mages for help with the Breach. Cullen disagrees, suggesting recruiting the templars instead, fearing that pouring too much magic into the Inquisitor's mark may destroy them all.
After the Inquisitor seals the Breach with the aid of either the mages or templars, Haven comes under attack by Corypheus. Cullen leads the defense but ultimately they are slowly outmatched. Cullen suggests using the remaining trebuchets to cause an avalanche to bury Haven, and the Inquisition along with it, until Chancellor Roderick reveals a secret pathway for them to escape. Cullen organizes the evacuation while the Inquisitor distracts Corypheus and his dragon. Once everyone is clear, he sends up a signal via fire arrow to let the Inquisitor know that the others are safe, at which point the Inquisitor triggers the destruction of Haven. The Inquisitor escapes and regroups with the Inquisition. Once they set up camp, Cullen argues with the rest of the war council on what to do, but tempers are calmed as Mother Giselle sings a hymn for the faithful.
The Inquisitor soon leads the Inquisition to Skyhold to set up their base of operations. Cullen rallies the warriors and others present to accept the Inquisitor as the official leader of the Inquisition.
Inquisitor recruits the Mages: Cullen will inform the Inquisitor that the Red Templars are being led by General Samson, a man he has personal history with. If the Inquisitor follows Cullen's advice to investigate Samson, the Inquisition will raid a quarry full of the Red Templars' red lyrium supplies and Cullen will personally aid in the raid over the Shrine of Dumat- Samson's headquarters. Cullen will be present when Samson is brought before the Inquisitor to be judged.
Cullen later struggles with lyrium withdrawal. He first reveals that he has an agreement with Cassandra to remove him from duty should he prove a liability, and he can later be found arguing with Cassandra to choose a replacement for him because he is doubting his ability to command. The Inquisitor then has the option to either encourage him to fight his addiction or to go back on lyrium.RomanceEdit
Cullen is a potential romance option for a female Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition, although only for humans or elves. He is also one of the few romance options whose romance can be initiated before the completion of his personal quest.
His romance can be initiated shortly after the Inquisitor arrives at Skyhold. Provided one is playing as a female human or elf, a short conversation with Cullen in the courtyard can be had as he is attempting to martial his troops, during which he pledges to the Inquisitor that he will never let her attempt to sacrifice herself for the good of the people again. Later, the female Inquisitor can initiate a romance with Cullen by asking if he has "time to talk". They take a stroll out onto the battlements, during which the Inquisitor confesses her feelings towards him. Provided that the Inquisitor fits Cullen's specifications (female and human/elf), the feelings are mutual and they share their first kiss. Cullen says later that he'd been wanting to kiss the Inquisitor "longer than he should admit". Throughout the rest of the game, the Inquisitor will have several cutscenes and unique conversations with Cullen if the romance option was selected.
If you are romancing him during Perseverance or after the quest, Cullen will call it off or refuse to enter a relationship if you told him to go back onto lyrium. Though you can romance him still if you chose the option of convincing Cullen to take the lyrium then after The Elder One is dealt with, try to break his addiction.
After a mage Inquisitor encourages Cullen to continue to refuse lyrium, he can express regret for his attitudes in the previous game and state that, "The way that I saw mages...I'm not sure I would have cared about you. And the thought of that sickens me."
Later on, Cullen will ask the Inquisitor if she'd like to accompany him while dealing with some business in Fereldan, accepting will take you to a lake. Cullen will tell you that he used to come here as a child to get away from his siblings and the last time he was here was the day he left for Templar training, saying that his brother gave him a coin, saying it was lucky, which he has kept. He will then ask the Inquisitor to indulge him and give the coin to them. The Inquisitor may either accept the gift or ask him to keep it. Neither option will affect the romance.
As with all other romanceable characters, if the inquisitor romances Cullen, two Orlesian nobles in the throne room will comment on the romance at each progression.
Dragon Age: Origins Edit
A Mage of the Circle Broken Circle Slay the HealerDragon Age II Edit
Act 1
Enemies Among UsAct 3
Favor and Fault Best Served Cold The Last StrawDragon Age: Inquisition Edit
Before the Dawn Perseverance Happier TimesQuotes Edit
Dragon Age: Origins Edit
- "Maker turn his gaze on you. I hope your compassion hasn't doomed us all."
Dragon Age II Edit
- (To Hawke, Enemies Among Us, Act I) "I was at the Circle Tower in Ferelden during the Blight. I saw firsthand how templars' trust and leniency can be rewarded. I still have nightmares of Uldred's depravities."
- (To Hawke, Enemies Among Us, Act I) "Mages cannot be treated like people. They are not like you and me. They are weapons. They have the power to light a city on fire in a fit of pique."
- (To Hawke, Enemies Among Us, Act I) "There is a vigil before templars take their arms, but the gravest danger they face is falling asleep."
- (To Hawke, Act I) "The image of the poor, chained apprentice is a powerful one. And one the mages are more than willing to exploit."
Dragon Age: Inquisition Edit
- "Kirkwall's Circle fell. Innocent people died in the streets. Can't you see why I want nothing to do with that life?"
- "Inquisition! With the Herald! For your lives! For all of us!"
Trivia Edit
- Cullen shared quarters with Samson when he was transferred to Kirkwall. He thought Samson was a "decent man" at the time.
- His full name is revealed by the herald at Empress Celene's ball in Inquisition. (Ser Cullen Stanton Rutherford of Honnleath)
- If the imported Origins story featured a Human Magi Origin Warden, Cullen will refer to them in the beginning of Dragon Age II Act 2, e.g. "I knew an Amell once. She was a special woman. Never met her like again." in the case of a female Warden and "There was an Amell in the Ferelden Circle, he left before Uldred attacked and came back to save us all." in the case of a male Warden.
- If the imported Origins save is a female Mage Warden, his Dragon Age II Codex makes a reference to his feelings for the Warden while they were at the Circle Tower.
- Originally, Cullen wasn't a romance option for Dragon Age: Inquisition, but according to Mike Laidlaw, BioWare changed his role as a love interest when they extended the game's development for a year.[4]
- If the imported worldstate to Inquisition involved a female Mage Warden from Origins Cullen will refer to her, though the dialogue differs if he is romancing the Inquisitor. If Leliana romanced a female Mage Warden in Origins and Cullen is not being romanced by the Inquisitor, he will try to ask Leliana about the Warden during War Table banter.
- If Hawke sided with the templars during the Kirkwall Rebellion, Cullen was promoted to Knight-Commander of Kirkwall. Otherwise, he remained Knight-Captain,[citation needed] even though he was the de facto commander in Kirkwall. However, at the Winter Palace during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, the herald will announce Cullen as "former Knight-Commander of Kirkwall", regardless of who Hawke sided with during the rebellion.[5]
- Cullen enjoys chess, and often played against his sister as a child.[citation needed]
Bugs Edit
- In Inquisition, an Inquisition agent in Cullen's office in Skyhold will tell the Inquisitor that Cullen has gone to speak with Cassandra. However, if the Inquisitor has completed Sera's unmarked "prank" quest prior to this conversation, the Inquisitor cannot interact with this agent. This will render it impossible to find Cullen (which is otherwise accomplished by clicking on Cassandra), and he will never return to his office. Any further interaction with him becomes impossible, as does the completion of his questline. (Problem still goes on.)

Please note that this Field Partner started working with Kiva before certain core risk and due diligence policies were put into place and therefore does not meet our current minimum risk criteria (K-Met has less than 1,000 borrowers and has not submitted recent audited financial statements to Kiva). K-Met is a unique microfinance organization that targets private health care providers and community health workers as a means to fulfill its mission of promoting development in underserved communities through innovative health and education programs. Private providers are given loans to upgrade their facilities and community health workers, who volunteer through K-Met, are given access to loan funds to grow their businesses and as a means of incentivizing them to remain involved in community health work with K-Met. Kiva was K-Met's first external lender and the organization is rated a Kiva Star Rating of 1, which is the riskiest level. As a result of K-Met's strong social mission and unique approach to microfinance and health, Kiva believes that loans to borrowers with K-Met may still be of interest to Kiva lenders, despite the increased risk, and has allowed the organization to continue fundraising on Kiva.About Kenya

Toshiba unveils three new Tegra 3 tablets.
The Excite 7.7's AMOLED screen affords it some of the deepest blacks you'll find, this side of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7.
Check out more info on the 13-inch tablet and other Tegra 3 tablets.
Here's hoping the Excite 10's final build design is a step above the Excite 10 LE's.
Depending on the size of your head, the Excite 13 could double as an umbrella. You, know, forget I said that.
A sense of scale is sometimes helpful when trying to detemine just how oversize a device is. Unfortunately, I forgot to take into account my oversize hands.
Each tablet sports multiple speakers using SRS sound tech. The Excite 13 has four of these bad boys.
All three tablets connect to PCs using Toshiba's oversize connection standard.
No full HDMI, but Micro works as long as you have the cable for it.
One feature that made it over from the Thrive is support for full-size memory expansion on the 13 and 10. MicroSD support on the 7.7.
Each tablet houses a 5-megapixel camera on the back.
Here you can get an idea of the size differences among the three.

Indy's Celebration of Automobiles, Stan Hywet Concours canceled for 2015
Photo courtesy the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Though organizers of both described their shows as successful, two major concours events in the Midwest will not return to the calendar for 2015.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway's Celebration of Automobiles, which was initially conceived as a part of the speedway's slate of centennial celebrations in 2011, remained a part of the speedway's May schedule through this year, but speedway president Doug Boles said that putting on the new Grand Prix of Indianapolis, which first ran last year, has essentially taken precedence over the Celebration for 2015.
"The Celebration of Automobiles was successful that first year and we enjoyed it, so we kept it on, but the biggest factor in canceling it is its timing," he said. "With the Grand Prix, it's logistically pretty difficult to execute it in a weekend when we have tens of thousands here for another event. We just couldn't figure out how to fit both in that same weekend. The Celebration was a very nice event – it was very complementary to our 2011 message – but our core is racing cars and race events."
The Speedway's vintage race in June will continue as before. Boles said that Speedway officials will try to rethink the Celebration and possibly bring it back in the future, but for now they have no plans to do so.

Meanwhile, the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens in Akron, Ohio, earlier this month announced that it would no longer put on the Stan Hywet Concours d'Elegance. The Stan Hywet Concours, held on the grounds of Goodyear Tire co-founder Frank A. Seiberling's 65,000-square-foot mansion, tapped concours veteran and Hemmings Classic Car columnist David Schultz as its executive director, and gathered some interesting cars for this year's inaugural show, but Stan Hywet organizers said they too found it difficult to reconcile the event with others on its schedule.
"We are pleased that it was successful and well-received, but have determined that producing an event of this size and scope, in addition to our five existing signature events, exceeded our sustainable capacity to support it," said Linda Conrad, Stan Hywet executive director, in a press release.
The annual Father's Day show at Stan Hywet will continue.
Bloomington Gold moving to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Photos by Richard Lentinello.
As it turned out, Champaign proved to be just a two-year stopover in the 40-plus year history of Bloomington Gold, which bills itself as the world's largest Corvette show. After at least a month of rumors, show officials announced Thursday that they will move it yet again, this time to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"This is quite a change for us," said Guy Larsen, who owns the event. "We did look at other venues, but when the speedway came to our attention, we just worked on moving the show there. It was too great of an opportunity to pass up."
While the initial year for the show on the grounds of the University of Illinois in Champaign went well, construction on the campus's Assembly Hall, basketball arena, and football stadium interfered with this year's show. Vendors at the show, in particular, complained that the construction curtailed their business, according to one local news outlet. "A lot of the areas we used for the show weren't available, and the construction was supposed to last at least two summers," Larsen said.
Last month, Larsen reserved the possibility that Bloomington Gold would only make a temporary move away from Champaign, until the construction ceased, but along with the announcement he noted that the show would remain in Indianapolis for at least three years, "and hopefully beyond. We'll be there for a while."
The speedway will allow the Bloomington Gold organizers to add some more driving activities—including laps around the speedway itself, and runs on the autocross course—to the show's typical slate of activities. While Larsen indicated last month that the move away from Champaign could allow the organizers to add an auction in conjunction with the show (Mecum Auctions earlier this year eliminated its Bloomington Gold auction from its lineup), he made no mention yesterday of adding an auction to the 2015 activities.
As its name indicates, Bloomington Gold got its start in 1973 in Bloomington, Illinois, as a one-day show called the Bloomington Corvette Corral. A year later, it expanded to two days, and over the next few years it continued to grow. The show made its first move in 1993 to the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, then in 1998, then under Dana Mecum's ownership, moved back to Bloomington. Subsequent moves in 2002 and 2013 took the show, respectively, to St. Charles, Illinois, and to Champaign.
The 2015 Bloomington Gold show will take place June 25 to 27. For more information, visit BloomingtonGold.com.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway restoration guru Bill Spoerle dies
Photos courtesy IMS Photo.
The person who was the longest-serving employee at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway didn't have Hulman or George as a surname. Instead, it was Bill Spoerle, one of the most acclaimed—and arguably, most obscure—restorers of historic automobiles in the world. The head of restoration for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Foundation, Bill died peacefully in his sleep November 4 at the age of 80.
Most people who've visited the historic speedway are familiar with its Hall of Fame Museum and its treasured displays of antique racing and road cars. To visit the museum is to become acquainted with the enormity of Bill's handiwork. He restored a lot of those cars, priceless racing icons, including the Miller that Louis Meyer drove to the first of his groundbreaking trio of Indy 500 wins in 1928. It was a very rare privilege to be invited into Bill's private sanctum on the speedway grounds where he worked his miracles.
Born Wilhelm Spoerle in Germany, he received his automotive baptism by working with a motorcycle race team in Europe. He made acquaintances with Floyd "Pop" Dreyer, who convinced Bill to come to work at his racing and motorcycle shop in Indianapolis, which would later become one of the first Honda motorcycle dealerships in the United States. From there, Bill became a race mechanic, working on Sprint cars raced by Elmer George, whose father-in-law was IMS owner Tony Hulman.
He migrated to the speedway as a restoration expert in 1963 after George retired from racing. In the intervening time, Bill restored everything from Indy winners to famous street cars, especially from Indiana, that Hulman favored. For years, he drove a seven-passenger Mercedes-Benz touring car that had once been owned by King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, in the annual 500 Festival Parade.
Iconic Indy scoring pylon comes down
Photos by Chris Owens, courtesy Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
In terms of being an immediately recognizable talisman of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the vertical black scoring pylon near the start-finish line could hold its own with the Pagoda and the Borg-Warner Trophy. Only now, the familiar frontstretch fixture has been removed.
Crews using a pair of heavy cranes unbolted the huge tower from its concrete base last week and swung it aside. The tower contains vertical electronic lights for the car numbers occupying each one of the traditional 33 positions in the Indianapolis 500 starting field, topped by a display for the leader's speed on each lap.
In place since 1994 – it succeeded an original scoring pylon that went up in 1959 – it will be replaced by a new, higher-technology scoring pylon in time for next month's Brickyard 400 weekend. The existing structure lacked space to track the 43 cars that typically start a NASCAR Sprint Cup race. That race weekend will also feature the NASCAR Nationwide Series and TUDOR United Sportscar Series, both of which typically start more than 33 cars as well.
UPDATE (25.July 2014): More on the new pylon at Indy, including renderings.
Indy folk heroes do battle at the Speedway
Photos courtesy SVRA.
You can feel the past coursing through you, an unseen force of history, anytime you're at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The ghosts of yesteryear live there, inhabit the property, from Ray Harroun to Louis Meyer to Jim Clark, and hundreds more. If you understand the sport, you can feel their presence. And next month, you can go yourself one better by seeing some of the legends in action again.
It happens as part of the forthcoming Brickyard Invitational, sanctioned by the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association. For the first time in history, race cars will be in action on the historic 2.5-mile oval and on its reconfigured road course on the same day. That brings us to the Brickyard's folk heroes. They will be contesting the 2.43-mile road circuit in production-based vintage race cars as part of the Indy Legends Pro-Am race.
Here's how it's going to work. A number of Indy 500 veterans will be paired with amateur drivers for a 40-minute race on the road course, with the drivers for each team getting a 20-minute stint behind the wheel apiece. The cars will be 1967-1972 vintage Corvettes, Mustangs and Camaros with a displacement limit of 355 cubic inches, roughly paralleling FIA Group 6.
The SVRA expects that 24 veterans of the 500 will be taking part. So far, the lineup includes three-time winner Bobby Unser, Al Unser Jr., 1992 rookie of the year Lyn St. James, Willy T. Ribbs, Geoff Brabham, Mark Dismore, Johnny Parsons Jr. and Alex Lloyd. The grand marshal, the immortal Parnelli Jones, will drive the pace car.
The Brickyard Invitational will take place June 6-8. For more information, visit SVRA.com.
Bobby Rahal bringing classic cars to Indy's Celebration of Automobiles
Bobby Rahal's 1965 Shelby G.T. 350. Photo courtesy Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Bobby Rahal is no stranger to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. An Indy 500 winner as both a driver (in 1986) and a team owner (in 2004), Rahal is used to spending most of May at the track, and this year will be no exception. In addition to preparing for this year's inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on May 10 and Indy 500 on May 25, Rahal will show two of his classic cars at the Speedway's Celebration of Automobiles, to be held in conjunction with the May 10 race.
Rahal's collection of vintage automobiles, kept at his garage at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois, consists mainly of cars that Rahal had a passion for (but no money to purchase) in his youth. It's an eclectic assemblage, containing everything from a Mini Moke to a BMW 3.0 CSL to a 427-powered Shelby Cobra, though it's surprisingly heavy on fun and (relatively) affordable cars like the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, the Mini Cooper S and the BMW 2002 Tii . There are "bookend" race cars as well, including the 1964 Elva-Porsche raced by his father (and the car in which Rahal began his career) and the 1998 Reynard 98i in which Rahal ended his CART career at the end of the 1998 season.
He'll bring two of his favorite cars to this year's Celebration of Automobiles, including a 1961 Jaguar E-type convertible and a 1965 Shelby G.T. 350. Rahal calls his first model year Jaguar, "the purest of the breed," saying, "I've always felt that the E-type Jaguar may be the sexiest car ever built. In fact, Enzo Ferrari claimed the E-Type Jaguar, when it started in 1961, was the most beautiful car he's ever seen, and that means something when he says that."
Rahal's Shelby G.T. 350 has a bit more of a story to tell. The fourth-to-last car built by Shelby American in 1965, the modified Mustang remained under the care of its first owner for 35 years. Care is a relative term, since the Shelby was stored outside, uncovered, in Riverside, California. Rahal learned of the car through a friend, and upon inspection, realized that he was looking at an original, numbers-matching example. Time and sunlight had dulled the Wimbledon White paint and erased the Guardsman Blue stripes, but the car's authenticity and one-owner history made it irresistible to Rahal, who purchased the Shelby and promptly commissioned its restoration.
Of his car collection, Rahal said, "It's fun for me to be able to experience these cars firsthand, to drive them, to look at them and to be able to appreciate them for what they represent, and I'm looking forward to sharing some of that for all those who attend the event."
Now in its fourth year, the Celebration of Automobiles honors cars built between 1910 and 1970. This year's event will highlight cars constructed in Indiana, and for the first time will also honor motorcycles built between 1910 and 1970. Al Unser will serve as honorary head judge for the vintage and classic car show on Saturday, May 10, but the Celebration of Automobiles will also include a welcome reception on Thursday, May 8, driving tours and an owner's lounge on Friday, May 9, and the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis (held on the newly constructed infield road course) on Saturday.

Donald Davidson, Indy historian, to speak at Indiana Automotive Historical Society gathering

Donald Davidson has likely forgotten more facts about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the events held there over the course of its 105-year history, than most have us have ever learned. As the Speedway's official historian, it's Davidson's job to remember the smallest of details, and as the host of the radio broadcast (and now, podcast) "The Talk of Gasoline Alley," he's able to share this wealth of information with racing fans the world over. Next Tuesday, Davidson will play host to "An Evening with Donald Davidson," in an event presented by Indiana Landmarks in support of the recently founded Indiana Automotive Historical Society (IAHS).
An affiliate group of Indiana Landmarks (which works to preserve architecturally unique and historically significant properties within the state), the IAHS was founded in 2013 to keep Indiana's rich automotive and racing heritage alive for future generations. In addition to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the state has also served as home to manufacturers like Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg; Marmon; Stutz; Mercer; National; Studebaker; Cole; and hundreds others.
The restored Duesenberg sign. Photo from the IAHS Facebook page.
One of the IAHS's first undertakings was the restoration of the Duesenberg Motors Co. sign (a project funded by Indiana Landmarks) on the company's former final assembly building, now home to public transportation company IndyGo. Fittingly, the cover photo on the group's Facebook page is an image of this recently restored sign.
During next Tuesday's presentation, the IAHS will also discuss upcoming events planned for the remainder of 2014. The society welcomes anyone with an interest in the preservation of Indiana's early automotive history to attend.
An Evening with Donald Davidson will be held at the Indiana Landmarks Center in Indianapolis on Tuesday, March 11. For details, or to RSVP, visit DavidsonStories.Eventbrite.com.
Pickup trucks to assemble for Guinness world record attempt
1941 Plymouth PT pickup. Photo by Jeff Koch.
Two hundred seventy-three. That's where the current Guinness world record for the largest parade of pickup trucks currently stands, but the folks at Rural Radio, a new channel on Sirius XM satellite radio, hope to gather even more pickups this weekend to break that record at the channel's launch party.
The current record was set last August at Dresden Raceway in Ontario, Canada. That parade – a publicity stunt for Ram brand pickup trucks – included only Dodge and Ram pickup trucks and also apparently set the record for largest parade of Dodge vehicles. Rural Radio's record attempt, which is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. this coming Saturday, August 3, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, appears to be open to all brands of pickup.
Awards will be presented, and an antique tractor gathering is also planned. Pre-registration is open through Friday; the link to do so is here. The action will be carried on RFD-TV.
Speaking of British Car Week…
As David LaChance pointed out the other day, this week is British Car Week, so we thought this video of an MG J2 arriving at the recent Celebration of Automobiles at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was appropriate, showing one of the challenges in driving an LBC. Thanks to reader John Olman for pointing it out to us.
Joe Leonard, Sonny Meyer to be inducted into Indy 500 hall of fame
Photos courtesy Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
A two-member but multidisciplinary class of inductees is being honored with enshrinement in the Auto Racing Hall of Fame at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. From the mechanical side of the Indianapolis 500 comes the engine genius Sonny Meyer, and from the driving side Joe Leonard, a stellar racer on both two wheels and four.
Meyer is the son of Louis Meyer, the first three-time winner of the race who took over the Offenhauser engine business with Dale Drake in 1946. Learning from his father, Sonny Meyer became a superstar of racing engine preparation, having been directly involved in building winning 500 engines 15 different times, most memorably for Gordon Johncock in 1973, the race that gave team owner Pat Patrick his first 500 win. He also led the engine shop for Vince Granatelli Racing, and then was the lead engineer for John Menard's team when it ran the wildly powerful stock-block turbocharged Buick V-6. In addition, he built and developed the four-cam Ford racing V-8 when his father won a distributorship for that engine from the Ford Motor Company during the 1960s.
Leonard was a three-time American Motorcycle Association national champion (1954, 1956 and 1957) before switching to cars. He raced at Indianapolis nine times and won two USAC national driving championships, with best 500 finishes of third in 1967 and 1972. He is probably best known for winning the 500 pole in 1968 aboard one of Andy Granatelli's wedge-shaped Lotus turbine cars, setting new one- and four-lap track records in the process. He was leading the 1968 race decisively when the car broke with nine laps to go.
Meyer and Leonard will be recognized publicly at the track on Carb Day, May 24, at the speedway's Pagoda Plaza. The invitation-only 29th Annual Oldtimers Recognition Dinner and Auto Racing Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 23, at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. The Auto Racing Hall of Fame, established in 1952, is located at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum.

Tuesday, March 10th at 6:30pm:
Come join us for a tour of three undiscovered gems of Germany and Austria: Münster and Marburg in Germany, and Ladis, Austria. Christine Watt, a German native, grew up in the Münsterland, an area of Water Castles and stately farmsteads in the Northwest of Germany. Her husband, Stephen, has traveled extensively in Germany, including a year-abroad at the University of Marburg in central Germany. Marburg, has played host to many famous German visitors, including Martin Luther and the Brother's Grimm, and its narrow streets, lined with half-timber houses, offer a glimpse into what Germany may have looked like several hundred years ago. Over the past ten years, Tine and Stephen have regularly visited the Oberinntal in the Alps of Austria. This is an area of not only breath-taking scenery, but also centuries-old traditions that still play a dominant role in the daily lives of local residents. We invite you to marvel at their natural beauty of these three areas of Germany and Austria, and learn more about their culture and history.

Midseason Redraft: Edwards on the rise
Every fantasy season produces major surprises, but perhaps none more than this year, especially since most of the surprises haven't involved major injuries. Consider that Frank Gore, Shaun Alexander and Larry Johnson were consensus, no-brainer top-10 picks coming into the season, and none of the three is currently in the top 50 for fantasy points scored this season. Making sense of all of this requires an open mind and a strong will.

A lead performance that makes things bearable is not nearly enough to salvage a problematic effort.
Poppy Montgomery is surprisingly amazing and gives a very intelligent and moving performance as Norma Jean Baker/Marilyn Monroe in this bopic TV movie. Marilyn Monroe's piece of fiction portrayal life seemed really interested to know about her childhood to adulthood before her death.
Ann-Margaret, Patrick Dempsey, Patricia Richardson and so many more fantastic actresses and actors took the stage in this great drama of a legend.
Super Reviewer
I haven't really watched a lot of e Marilyn's films. so I'm unsure whether or not too much of Poppy's own personality bubbled to the surface, especially when Marilyn smiles and laughs suddenly during her most troubled moments.Once in platinum hair and with that famous beauty freckle. Montgomery does look quite a bit like the legendary sex symbol whose troubled, tortured private life is deeply explored here.
Whether this movie is true to the actual life of Marilyn or not,Let Marilyn speak for herself in her own many newsreel clips and movies and records. She does herself better than any of these dimestore dollies.

NEW YORK (AP) - An estimated 21.6 million people watched Belgium knock out the United States soccer team in the World Cup on U.S. television - an impressive total for a weekday afternoon that almost certainly undercounts how many people actually saw it.
The Nielsen company said Wednesday that 16.5 million people watched the game on ESPN, with 5.1 million more seeing it on the Spanish-language Univision network. In addition, nearly 1.7 million people watched an online stream of the event, Nielsen said.
The record U.S. television audience for soccer is the 24.7 million who saw the United States play Portugal on June 24, which tied the 2010 World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands.
The Portugal game took place on a weekend, however, when there were more people with free time available to watch. The U.S.-Belgium game started at 4 p.m. on the East Coast, earlier in other time zones, during a working day.
Nielsen does not measure viewership in bars, offices or other public places. In 2010, ESPN estimated that the stated audience size for weekday World Cup games would increase by 23 percent if public viewing were taken into account.
Still, Tuesday's knockout game exceeded the average viewership for the most recent World Series and NBA Finals, events that took place during prime-time when more people were home to watch.
The just-concluded NBA series where the San Antonio Spurs beat the Miami Heat averaged 15.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said Thursday that everyone connected with the soccer team is excited to see how the sport is reaching a U.S. audience. He could see it coming, given the popularity of the game among young people and the large crowds that turned out for the team's sendoff games before the World Cup.
"Soccer is breaking through and gets its deserved recognition without taking anything away from the other big American sports," Klinsmann said.
He said it's important for people to identify with the way Americans played the game.
"The energy and the commitment and the tempo and the aggressiveness that we played with kind of made people proud at home and surprised a lot of people outside of the United States, maybe in Brazil or in Europe," he said.
The highest overall ratings for the U.S.-Belgium game came in New York, Nielsen said.
ESPN said that overall viewership for the World Cup is up 44 percent over 2010.
