Natasha Leonnet
Modern Videofilm
Senior Colorist Natasha Leonnet most recently worked on
Machete Kills
, her sixth collaboration with director Robert Rodriguez. Leonnet learned to color correct in Germany and Denmark and, in the U.S., has worked at
prior to moving to Modern Videofilm in January 2013. Among the movies she's color-corrected that she's particularly proud of -- in addition to
Machete Kills
, of course -- are all of Rodriguez's other films she's worked on,
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Arbitrage, Love and Other Drugs
and the upcoming
Labor Day
How did you become a colorist?
My most profound influence early in life was the
photographer William Clift
who works with an 8x10 camera and is famous for his printing. I was interested in photographic printing and he mentored me. He had gotten two Guggenheims and NEA grants, and I was lucky enough to watch him work in the dark room. Every time I'd visit, he'd pull down photography books and talk about framing, shading and what he and other photographers were doing in printing to frame the eye. This was incredibly helpful later for color correction. He lent me my first 2.25x2.25 camera. I'd bring the contact sheets to him and he'd show me how I had succeeded and failed.
Then I went to
Brown University
where I had my own dark room and worked as a printer for the Archaeology Department. Being at Brown also allowed me to take classes at the
Rhode Island School of Design
Originally I was hoping to become a professor of semiotics and film theory but instead of going on for my Ph.D., I decided to travel and live in the Czech Republic. I had studied Czech in school and my thesis film was a non-narrative look at Western conceptions of the former East as the walls were coming down. In the Czech Republic, I became a post production supervisor at
Stillking Films
, and learned a lot. One of my jobs was to research colorists throughout Europe.
I was doing a two-week internship with Biggi Klier, a colorist at
ARRI's TV post production facility
. One day, she was working on a film for TV about a boxer and I was watching her work and I thought, there is nothing I'd rather be doing than what she's doing now: she was translating emotion into color and contrast and working hand-in-hand with a cinematographer, creating images that were exactly what was in his mind and sometimes taking it a step farther to make it more beautiful than he could have imagined.
I became an assistant for Biggi in Munich for two years. Working with Biggi was one of the ways I learned to do commercials and music videos. She was extremely generous with her knowledge.
I also started teaching the system we were on, the
, to different companies. That was a wonderful advantage because when you teach a system, you learn it like the back of your hand. It's one of the best ways to learn your craft.
Inevitably, as you're teaching systems, you end up teaching a certain amount of color theory, and I had learned color theory in college.
Then I moved to Denmark where I worked for
Digital Film Lab
. At the time, they had one of the best digital-to-film LUTs in the world.
They had started doing DIs in 1998. They hired me and told me they'd teach me their system -- they scanned on a
and color corrected with the Pogle -- for doing DIs, and I jumped at the chance.
Because we were working in Rec. 709 -- this was in 2000/2001 -- they had a mandate that, to keep things looking as filmic as possible, one should never crush a black or clip a highlight.
In fact, a VFX operator and engineer measured every single shot you'd color, and they would reject a shot if you didn't adhere to that. The idea being that you weren't working off the monitor but off the scopes to make sure it was the most filmic image you could put through the pipeline. It was quite successful.
We did the entire DI off the cut negative; you were just making sure the Spirit was meticulously clean. At the time, it was very helpful to Scandinavian filmmakers, many of whom were working 16mm and they wanted to finish in Scope; they got better resolution than working from an optical printer.
How did you get back to the U.S.? And when did you first meet Robert Rodriguez?
ILM had bought a Pogle and the company sent me there to train them. Then ILM asked me if I would come back and color
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
. Of course, I said yes.
When I was working for ILM, George Lucas did a symposium for ten filmmakers to show the digital capture and Robert Rodriguez was one. He showed a little piece of
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
, and I asked if we could please work on that, and ILM said, okay, no worries; we'll get you the film. The palette was so rich and so beautiful and the hues were slightly different than I was used to for film, which I found interesting. And Robert was so passionate about digital capture, how he could show takes to his actors and experiment. I was intrigued. His excitement was contagious. So I wanted to work on his film.
After training DI artists at ILM, Natasha was invited to color grade
Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Clones
. George Lucas hosted a symposium for ten filmmakers to show the potential of digital capture, and Robert Rodriguez was one of them. This is when he and Natasha first met, beginning a collaboration that has extended to the present day.
Robert did a lot of experimentation with the capture. In one scene, I remember, they'd tried different settings. In the color correction, he wanted me to make it all look the same, and I was able to do that. It was one of those wonderful experiences where the director describes what he wants, you do it, and he says that's exactly what I wanted.
Bill Murray from
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Natasha Leonnet's color grading on
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
is one of her favorite projects.
I've heard some people describe you as Rodriguez' go-to colorist.
I never think of it that way; I never take it for granted that I'm his colorist. After
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
, the next film I worked on with him was
Sin City
and he had a couple of films in between that I didn't work on. With
Sin City
, the DI was getting the little bits of color that were there exactly correct. Also, B&W can be interpreted a thousand ways: Is it cold? Does it have a bit of warmth in it? On the days we were working on the film release, the color stock and lab chemistry added a certain hue to the black and white material to it so we had to ask ourselves how to counteract that.
Sin City
, a lot of telling the story was through the gray tones or lack thereof. Robert has so much fun doing what he's doing that it never feels like there's any pressure. He looks at each film as a chance to experiment and hence it is only fun.
Sin City
, the next film was
Planet Terror
, a double feature he did with Quentin Tarantino, the Grindhouse films. That was beautifully shot and Robert basically allowed me to do what I wanted. I based that off the color photography of
Cindy Sherman
. I felt that he and she were doing the same thing, in different ways obviously. I was able to take his cinematography and at times do a two-tone with the colors amber and cyan, which I based off of one of her color prints. And again, this speaks to the fact that it doesn't feel like work. He's experimenting and I feel there was a trickle-down effect of that; he allows his colorists to do the same.
Next we worked together on
, then
Spy Kids: All the Time in the World 4D
(it was also in Smell-o-vision), and then we just finished
Machete Kills
, which was very different than the palette of the original
Tell us about your work on
Machete Kills.
First, you don't have to have seen the first
to enjoy
Machete Kills
. The two movies have very different color palettes, however. In the first one, the palette was golds, yellows and reds. Robert was going for a richness. With
Machete Kills
, he wanted to create a more varied palette, a broader sense of place and mood. He did his own experimentation when he was doing the edit, using the
Magic Bullet
system, and then he brought in references and asked me if I thought we could incorporate the look into specific scenes. That was the basis.
Some of these initial palettes weren't the ones we ended up with, however, because he's so collaborative. For example, one scene takes place in a gas station with all these vintage cars.
A scene from Machete Kills: before color correction.

and post.
We'd color corrected it very cold, but I thought that if we warmed it up there would be a stronger differentiation in skins tones and the cars and the earthen ground, and hence that we could create a stronger image than our first draft, if you will. Robert said, fine, do whatever you want. And I think it turned out beautifully.
Vintage VW Vanagon at a gas station in
Machete Kills
, before...
and after.
Machete Kills
, with each scene break, we got into a different color palette. The challenge was in creating a different sense of place with every single scene. There's one particular scene that first introduces
Lady Gaga
where we go from warm to cooler in the course of a few seconds. I wanted to highlight her red clothing by creating a contrast with cooler tones. I also wanted to capitalize on the red, yellow and blue combination of the hair, costume and set design and hence suddenly introduce a more primary color palette. When she appears, we go from warm to cool in order to create more of a color difference between those colors and it happens within two shots. It's pretty subtle. I don't think everyone will feel it, but someone who is very attuned to color probably will.
The beauty of
Machete Kills
for me was interpreting some of the looks Robert created with the Magic Bullet software in edit bay and using palettes I hadn't used in his films in the past. In one scene where the character of Machete emerges into a new world, Robert allowed me to use a look I'd been saving for years. The reference was an old cover from
W Magazine
with highly blue-colored blacks juxtaposed against brighter, very yellow objects. I used this aesthetic when the character Machete enters a new world to subtly suggest a change in environment. Someone highly attuned to color might notice this too.
Normally, people hate magenta, but we used it for a flashback sequence. Magenta is considered a color contaminant but we were in a specific area in the reel that was all about experimentation, and I suggested we use magenta to contrast against the warmer and very saturated yellow scene that is the contemporary one. The color contrast between the sequences goes with the playfulness of the story.
Ordinarily, my goal with color correction is to create a DI with no color signatures, something that could have just as easily gone through the lab and look just as seamless and natural. In this film, Robert wanted such a stylized look that it was an opportunity to use the tools to create images that were clearly affected by color correction. I won't say that never happens but it's more unusual than usual. That was exactly what he wanted. Color correction for every movie is always a collaboration. But Robert takes that to a different level.

Creative Studio leads Pink Through the Looking Glass
The Creative Studio's Director of CG Steve Parish led the VFX team, who first worked to bring together eighteen passes of a continuous seventy second shot as Pink moves across the chessboard in a fully CG generated environment. Meyers and Sarsfield had worked carefully to capture the motion controlled camera move, ensuring that there were no intersections between the characters, but the VFX team had a lot of clean up on the chessboard to create a clean plate before adding reflections and shadows to the floor in order to sell through the separate passes of Pink's game pieces interacting in the scene.

I am including this story, not because I want any personal recognition, so please don't put my story in that light if you choose to use what I have written.
It all began with my husband. He got involved with the local chapter of the American Red Cross right after his mother died, since she had been involved with helping the chapter up until shortly before her death. He felt he was doing something she would have wanted him to do, and encouraged me to become involved a little later. He served on the Board of Directors for several years, and I was also a member for about two years. Working with this all-volunteer chapter, I began to understand how important this agency is to each community, whether it be for its many contributions in areas such as disaster relief, CPR and other safety and lifesaving training to community members, or through collection of blood by utilizing their bloodmobile.
I cannot give blood since I have Multiple Sclerosis and there is no known cause or cure, so I wanted to do something to encourage others to give blood. The company I worked for at the time encouraged employees to donate blood when the bloodmobile was scheduled to be at the company and allowed employees time off to contribute.
To "sweeten the pot" I knitted a red lace afghan and asked that it be given in a prize drawing to one of the employees who gave blood. It was, and I was told it helped encourage some people who would not ordinarily have given blood because they wanted a chance to win the afghan.
I am sending this to show that there are many ways we can all help in our communities by donating some of the things we make, and it may also serve to interest others in creative needle arts when they understand the rich personal satisfaction you recieve when you give a gift that matters.
Thank you.

|When payment of financial aid funds are applied to your University account, the award is said to have been 'disbursed' in Financial Aid.
Disbursement Schedule
|Disbursements at Stony Brook begin after the start of each term. Not all awards disburse at the same time, as there are different disbursement dates for various types of awards.
|To view the scheduled disbursement date of an accepted award not yet disbursed for the term, you can click on the 'View Scheduled Disbursements' link under 'View & Accept/Decline FinAid' on the SOLAR System.
|There can be a number of reasons why an award has not yet disbursed:
|It's before the scheduled disbursement date.
|Outstanding financial aid "To Do List" items have not been completed (check "To Do List" items on SOLAR).
|Outstanding financial aid "To Do List" items have recently been completed and requires 5-7 business days for processing.
|For TAP or other New York State grants/scholarships: Award has not yet been certified by the Registrar's Office (check your SOLAR messages).
|The award was recently accepted.
|You withdrew, are not enrolled, or are enrolled for less-than the minimum requirement.
|If it's an external award, the funds have not yet been received by the University.
Disbursement Refunds
|Once the disbursement has been applied to your University account, any resulting excess credit is refunded to you within 14 days by the Bursar's Office.
|The Bursar's Office now offers direct deposit for student refunds.

Refunds through direct deposit are processed daily and appear in your account within 3 business days. Enrollment for direct deposit is done via the SOLAR system. Please contact the Bursar's Office for additional information regarding the direct deposit refund process.
|You can view the status of your disbursed aid and any resulting refund by clicking on the "Account summary/What do I owe?" link under the Student Financial Services section of the SOLAR System.
|For additional questions regarding your University account balance or refunds, contact the Bursar/Student Accounts Office.
|Cancellation of Disbursed Federal Loans
|You have the right to cancel all or a portion of your Federal Stafford, Grad Plus or Health Professions Student Loan, even after the loan funds have been disbursed and credited to your University account. If you wish to cancel or reduce an already disbursed loan for the current term, you must submit a written SIGNED request to Financial Aid prior to the end of the term.
|Adjustments to Already Disbursed Aid
|If changes are made to your financial aid package, it is sometimes necessary to bill you back for aid already disbursed and credited to your University account.
|Withdrawal from Stony Brook University and the Impact of Disbursed Federal Aid
|You may be billed for a portion or all of your federal financial aid if you withdraw from the University. It is therefore recommended that you contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship Services prior to withdrawing from the term to review the impact on your Federal aid as a result of withdrawing.
|Withdrawal from Stony Brook University and the Impact on State Aid
|Dependent upon the time of withdrawal, your eligibility for New York State Aid may be impacted. If you withdraw after 100% liability your eligibility to receive New York State Aid for the next term of attendance will be impacted. It is therefore recommended that you contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship Services prior to withdrawing from the term to review the impact on your State aid as a result of withdrawing.

Countryman Lane, SHIPLEY, RH13 8PZ
Alan Vaughan and his family, who have been successfully running this traditional rural free house for nearly 30 years, have certainly found the recipe for pleasing their customers. Surrounding the inn is the Knepp Castle Estate, 3,500 acres devoted to nature conservation through regeneration and restoration projects. In the pub's log fire-warmed bar, you'll find cask-conditioned beers from Sussex-brewed Harvey's, Langham and Long Man, Shepherd Neame from Kent. Making their way to the kitchen are fish landed at Shoreham and Newhaven, the two closest ports, free-range meats from local farms; game from the Knepp Estate, vegetables and salads grown in the pub's own half-acre garden, and through a 'swop shop' arrangement with villagers something unusual often appears on the menu, such as quince, kohlrabi or romanesco. Any surplus garden produce can be purchased in the bar. Country baguettes and flatbreads come filled with prawn and crayfish; sausage and onion; and brie and redcurrant, while an alternative might be the all-day breakfast. Regular starters and grazing plates are hoi sin lamb wrap; salt 'n' pepper squid; and sm�rg�sbord of fish, which might be followed by one pot lamb stew with dumplings; vegetable Thai green curry; beef and mushroom shortcrust pie, mash and seasonal vegetables; or slow-roast pork belly, bubble-and-squeak, cabbage and bacon with caramelised onion and Calvados jus. Children are welcome in the restaurant, although the inn doesn't have a separate play area or family dining room. In the garden, weather permitting, an open-air kitchen serves grills, ploughman's and other snacks. In the pub's own farm shop you can buy free-range eggs and home-made preserves, pickles and relishes.

In the evenings and on the weekends, our family enjoys watching television. While not a need, it certainly provides some stress relief and maybe even bonding time as we gather to watch something that helps us grow in knowledge or maybe just giggle over a family classic.
As technology has grown, our options for entertainment have expanded. It's difficult to know which service to use and decipher what's the best deal. If you're considering changing your cable package or weighing which online streaming channel best fits your needs, the following guidelines might help you determine which direction to choose.
This DVD rental service was one of the first to take on the online streaming market. For its $7.99 per month fee, you can have instant access to thousands of TV episodes and movies. It partners well with technology you might already have like a Wii, Xbox, PS3, Google Chromecast, iPad, smartphone or more, allowing you to stream through your device to your television with the aid of an app. The titles do occasionally change, so your favorite shows might not always be available; however, there's certainly a limitless number of choices. Redbox has recently modeled Netflix's offering with four DVD rentals per month and a more limited online streaming service. The plan comes in at $8 per month.
Amazon Instant Video
If you're an Amazon Prime member, you have access to the vast Amazon Instant Video library. It includes many of the same titles as Netflix plus some more popular HBO favorites. The fee of $99 per year allows you not only this service but also special Amazon perks like two-day shipping, a new online music streaming service with access to over a million songs (a bold competitor for Spotify), special discounts and the ability to borrow one Kindle read per month for free.
While slightly more expensive than Netflix ($8.25 per month), the other perks make it a very competitive offer. However, keep in mind you'll need to be able to pay for the service up front in full, rather than on a monthly basis. You can stream Amazon Instant video through some devices you may already own — iPad, Wii, Xbox, Kindle Fire, Playstation — but not as many as Netflix.
Hulu and Hulu Plus
Online viewing clearinghouse hulu.com offers both free viewing options (typically the five most recent episodes of popular major network shows) and a paid service in the form of Hulu Plus. Like Netflix, Hulu Plus streams through a wide variety of technology pieces that you may already own and comes in at $7.99/month.
Hulu is free but along with its limited catalog, it's confined to streaming through your laptop or PC and not available to project to your TV. The Plus service also offers HD quality when available.
Traditional cable
Often when people seek to scale back their lifestyle, cable is the first cutback they make. I wouldn't disagree with this choice because of the vast array of much more affordable choices. If you choose to stick with your current cable plan, I'd advise you to do two things to most effectively manage your money. First, call and see if there is any way to reduce the amount you're being charged.
Over time, cable packages creep up in price. New deals are offered to new customers while existing clients foot the bill. It may take a little while to negotiate a deal, but it will be time well spent. Ask for the retention or loyalty department.
Kindly but firmly express that you've been a longtime paying customer and don't be afraid to question if there could be a better deal. "Is that the best we can do?" is your best question.
Secondly, don't fall for the bundle trap. For only $10 more, you might have a new phone line, or faster Internet, or access to a robot maid who will come and fold your laundry (OK that one doesn't sound so bad). But contemplate that $10 per month is $120 per year and we probably all enjoy an extra $100-plus in our pockets. Don't be afraid to cut the cord. Your life will still go on and you'll still be able to catch most of your favorite shows or maybe you'll realize you didn't need to watch that much TV anyway.
Build own antennae
If you have a digital converter box or a digital-ready TV, you can actually build your antennae for under $5 and pull in all local channels (and a few extra wacky ones to boot). Search for a YouTube tutorial for specific directions but the basic supplies include a 2x4, some washers, screws, wire hangers and a balun (signal converter). Our antennae has served us well for a number of years and ensures we can watch Colts games, the local news and some of our favorite shows.
The good news is that the majority of online streaming choices offer a free month's trial (or week with Hulu Plus) so you can get a feel for the services before making a financial commitment. Just be careful to unsubscribe from such promotions at the end of the month so that you're not automatically charged if you don't want to continue service. Carefully investigate the price, selection of shows, and the amount of time you'll be spending watching television before making a decision. Entertainment should be fun and relaxing but not occupy the majority of dollars in your budget. It's an extra, not a need.

Knoxville Nationals: Inside the Numbers
Tuesday, August 12, 2014
by Eric Arnold – Track Historian
The 54th Annual FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Store is over. Every year adds another chapter into the history of sprint car racing. We saw everything from a driver winning his eighth Nationals, some of the usual suspects finishing in the top ten, to Cinderella stories of drivers making the Championship A-Main that we didn't expect.
105 cars entered this year, up 3 cars from a year ago and the most since 107 cars in 2009. Breakdown by state is 15 from Iowa, 13 Pennsylvania, 11 Ohio, 10 California, 8 Indiana, 6 Australia, 6 Oklahoma, 5 Minnesota, 4 from Missouri, South Dakota, and Tennessee, 3 from Illinois, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Washington, 2 from New Mexico, and 1 from Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Donny Schatz won his 8th Knoxville Nationals. That is 3 more than Doug Wolfgang, yet 4 less than Steve Kinser. Donny's 14 top five finishes ranks fourth most all-time. He has finished first or second 13 times in the past 15 Nationals. His off years were a 12th in 2004, and 23rd in 2001 when he crashed on the first corner after starting on the pole. Steve Kinser won 8 of 10 Nationals from 1986-1995. Schatz has now done one better winning 8 of the last 9.
Donny Schatz has won $1,566,975 in his career (1995-2014) on Saturday night alone at the Knoxville Nationals, the most all time. To compare, Steve Kinser has won $807,850 in his career. Kinser's 1980 Nationals win paid $6,000.
Schatz has now led 226 laps in the Championship A-Main, second most all time behind Steve Kinser with 301. Schatz has the longest active streak of consecutive Championship A-Main starts at 17. Schatz won this year from the pole position, the 3rd time he has done that (2006, 2007, 2014). The pole sitter has won the Nationals 21 times. No one had done it since Schatz in 2007.
When you look at Schatz' Nationals preliminary nights the past 5 years they are steady, but not super impressive. Average time trials finish is 6.2. Average heat race finish is 2.2. Average Prelim Feature finish is 9.2. He hasn't won a preliminary night feature since he won three in a row in 2001, 2002, and 2003. Donny won his 7th career Nationals heat race this year, which ties him for the 5th most all time with Johnny Herrera. Sammy Swindell holds the record with 18 heat wins.
Bridesmaids Stats:
Brian Brown
has finished second three years in a row. That is a new record. Joey Saldana finished second three out of four years (2006, 2007, and 2009). Jan Opperman and Sammy Swindell are the only other drivers to finish runner-up three times. Steve Kinser has finished second 2 times (1978 and 1984). Schatz has been the runner-up a record five times, including four of six years (2000, 2002, 2003, 2005).
Brian Brown
has won his preliminary night feature two years in a row and now has 3 top fives, 4 top ten's, and made the A-Main 7 of 12 entries. He is also the only driver to lead a lap in the championship A-Main the past two years, not named Schatz. His 41 laps led ranks 13th all time.
Kerry Madsen had his best career finish at the Knoxville Nationals this year with a third, which also breaks his record for best finish by an Australian (although he was born in New Zealand and just recently became a US citizen) when he finished fifth in 2010. Before 2010 the highest finish by an Australian driver was Garry Rush who finished seventh in 1979. Madsen now has 2 top fives, 3 top ten's, and made the championship race 8 of 16 Nationals entries.
Craig Dollansky
has a very impressive Nationals resume. His fourth place finish this year is his 8th top five finish which ranks 8th most all time. He has 14 top ten finishes, one less than Schatz, and tied with Stevie Smith for 6th most all time. Dollansky has made the championship A-Main 18 times in 22 entries.
Justin Henderson
finished 5th this year, placing in the top five for the second consecutive year and earning his third career top ten finish. He has made the A-Main 4 times in 14 entries.
Paul McMahan finished sixth this year and extended his streak of Championship A-Main appearances to 9. His career Nationals numbers are 2 top fives, 7 top ten's, 16 A-Main starts in 22 entries. He set quick time on his qualifying night this year for the fourth time in his career, tying Joey Saldana with 4 quick times which ranks 5th most all time. (Mark Kinser holds the record with 10.) Paul's lap of 14.633 is the quickest time trial lap in the past five years since Darrah set the event record in 2009 with a lap of 14.547.
Terry McCarl finished 7th this year, his 6th career top ten finish in the Knoxville Nationals and his first top ten finish since 2008. T-Mac has made the A-Main 18 of 28 attempts.
Mark Dobmeier finished 8th this year, his 2nd career top ten finish. Dobs has now made the A-Main 3 of the past 4 years with a total of 10 entries.
Joey Saldana finished 9th. For his Nationals career Joey has 4 top fives, 9 top ten's, 4 quick times, and made the A-Main 17 times in 21 attempts.
Kraig Kinser finish 10th, his 4th career top ten finish. He has made the A-Main 7 times in 12 entries. Hard to believe it has been 9 years since he won it all in 2005.
Donny Schatz gave car owner Tony Stewart his 9th win (3 with Lasoski and 6 with Schatz) which ranks second most all time for car owners. Karl Kinser won 14 times with 3 different drivers (Dick Gaines, Steve Kinser, Mark Kinser). Bob Weikert won 4, and tied with 3 wins are Taylor "Pappy" Weld and Steve Kinser.
Drivers with their best career finish at the Knoxville Nationals this year: Cody Darrah 12th and David Gravel 15th.
4 drivers started in their first Knoxville Nationals Championship A-Main this year: Bryan Clauson who finished 17th,
Clint Garner
18th, Lee Jacobs 21st, and Ryan Bunton 23rd.
Bryan Clauson is the first USAC National Champion to qualify for the A-Main since Steve Butler in 1987 who finished 16th that year. Clauson is also the 19th driver to compete in the Nationals and the Indy 500. He makes the 16th driver out of those 19 that made the A-Main. This was Clauson's second Nationals entry.
Clint Garner
made it to the Championship A-Main this year for the first time in his 7th attempt. Lee Jacobs made it in his second entry. His first entry was in 2008.
Ryan Bunton had never qualified for the B-Main before and he skips over the B and into the big dance this year. His motor went sour at halfway but it was quite the accomplishment for his small team. Bunton had missed the previous two Knoxville Championship Cup Series weekly shows due to no engine. The best part of all is Bunton's tribute paint scheme to all of our military that he proudly displays the signatures of on his car.
Sammy Swindell qualified for his 32nd career championship A-Main.
Shane Stewart extended his streak of consecutive A-Main starts to 14 this year. He also won his 3rd career preliminary night feature.
Daryn Pittman made his 12th career start in the Championship A-Main in 17 attempts. He won his third career World Challenge (2004, 2005, 2014) and this was his second career feature win at Knoxville Raceway. His 2004 win in the World Challenge was only a 12 lap "dash" and the minimum criteria for a "Feature" is 15 laps with at least 15 cars to be considered a feature win by Knoxville Raceway Historian's.
Milestones: Sammy Swindell competed in his record 40th Knoxville Nationals this year. Danny Smith competed in his 36th Knoxville Nationals this year, while Jac Haudenschild made his 32nd appearance, Lasoski was his 31st , and Steve Kinser his 38th. Stevie Smith, Jeff Swindell, Johnny Herrera, and Don Droud Jr. all competed in their 25th Knoxville Nationals this year.
Jac Haudenschild won his 6th career Nationals heat race this year. Wayne Johnson won his 4th heat race, Greg Wilson won his 3rd, Jack Dover won his 3rd, and
Jon Agan
won his 2nd.
Andy Gregg won the Knoxville Nationals Rookie of the Year Award, the seventh driver from California to do so. The other six California drivers are Duane Feduska, Chuck Gurney, Randy Hannagan, Tyler Walker, Jason Meyers, and Kyle Larson.
Ohio's Paige Polyak made her first appearance at the Knoxville Nationals, making her the 12th female driver to enter the Nationals. Paige is the only female driver to win a sprint car feature at Eldora Speedway, winning a 305 feature.
Morgan Kemenah of Burgoon, Ohio won the 40th Knoxville Nationals Queen Contest this year. She is only the second Queen from the state of Ohio. The other, Kendra Jacobs.
Kody Kinser (son of Kelly Kinser) is the 8th member of the "Kinser Klan" to compete in the Knoxville Nationals. The others Bob, Sheldon, Steve, Randy, Mark, Kelly, and Kraig.
The Knoxville Nationals paid $150,000 to win for the 7th consecutive year. The event paid $3,000 to win 8 consecutive years from 1968-1975.
Knoxville Championship Cup Drivers took 5 of the top 10 finishing positions in the Championship A-Main. Brown, Dollansky, Henderson, McCarl, and Dobmeier. Garner, Tatnell, and Bunton made it 8 total in the A-Main. In 2013 there were 3 that finished in the top 10, and 7 total in the field.
Qualifying night point totals: Donny Schatz scored 492 points which is the highest score since 2003 when Schatz had 493. No one has scored a perfect 500 since Steve Kinser in 1992. Only five drivers have joined the 500 Club: Mike Brooks 1980, Sammy Swindell 1984, Doug Wolfgang, 1985, Mark Kinser 1990, and Steve Kinser who has done it 4 times in 1981, 1989, 1990, and 1992.
The Dunkin's did a great job with track prep all week. The water truck wasn't used at all on Wednesday or Thursday this year during the Nationals thanks to Mother Nature. Chris Dunkin said Thursday night was only the second time he could remember that we raced on a track that he never put a drop of water on. The Saturday afternoon race was terrific, the best day show track I have ever seen.
The Dunkin Mountain Range of black Iowa zook clay that was surrounding the infield was a cool sight, but let's hope we don't see those again anytime soon.
Kudos to our push truck crew. Thumbs up!
Kudos to the safety and fire crews as well. They had a busy night on Saturday.
BOOM! The pyrotechnics show was the biggest and loudest I can remember this year.
Brian Brown
took the lead on lap 44 Saturday night, it was the loudest roar I have ever heard in my 37 years of seeing racing at Knoxville Raceway.
I never thought I would see anyone rival Steve Kinser's record of 12 Knoxville Nationals victories, but Donny Schatz is doing it. He has 8 wins at age 37. Steve Kinser at age 37 had 7 wins, and he won his 12th at age 48.
The crowd on Saturday night was a near sellout! Take a bow sprint car fans!
Thank you to all the staff in the office, press room, the security people, clean up crews, and the Marion County Fair Board. It's a long week, and I still saw a lot of smiling faces when it was over on Saturday night.
Thank you to all of you who stopped by to buy our book Knoxville Nationals: The First 50 Years written by myself and Bob Wilson. I met so many great people, and loved talking to all of you. You can still find the book on our website, www.knoxvillenationalsbook.com. It makes for a great Christmas present!

"Jasper, Mother Nature's Masterpiece" Top 5 Page for this destination Jasper National Park by windsorgirl
Jasper National Park Travel Guide: 436 reviews and 1,121 photos
Jasper National Park was established in 1907 on the eastern slopes of the Rockies. It borders British Columbia to the west and Banff National Park to the south. It is only a 4hr drive from Edmonton and 230kms north of Banff. There is also regular train service from Edmonton and Vancouver.
There are beautiful mountain and lake vistas throughout with many hiking and boating opportunities. Plan to spend at least 3 or 4 days here.
Jasper is known for its magnificent glaciers, including North America's most accessible glacier, the Athabasca. You will also come across smaller glaciers while hiking in the mountains, such as this one on Mt. Edith Cavell.
While visiting the Rockies, you must leave your car for a slower, quiet interaction with nature. There are many challenging hikes in Jasper, but also many easy ones, even wheelchair accessible paths as well as great spots for a picnic.
I will include info on the hikes that I have personally done here under Sports Travel Tips.

These are all easy hikes, manageable by any reasonably fit person. Most are 'tourist walks'. If you go to Jasper for some hiking, plan on spending at least a week, and try for a few more challenging ones.

If actor-producer John Abraham's latest post on his Twitter page is anything to go by, he is now a married man. He is said to have exchanged vows with his girlfriend Priya Runchal recently.
There's yet to be an official word on the news from John or Priya, an investment banker, but his post on the microblogging site more or less confirms their status as a couple -- whether or not they have tied the knot already.
"Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed 2014! May this year bring you love, good fortune and joy. Love, John and Priya Abraham," the actor, for whom 2013 turned out to profitable as a producer thanks to "Madras Cafe", tweeted Friday.
John is said to have been on a holiday in Los Angeles, where Priya was born and brought up.
The duo met via mutual friends here in 2010. But at that time, John was dating actress Bipasha Basu, with whom he had a roaring affair for over eight years. It was one of the longest relationships that Bollywood has perhaps seen, but they broke up in 2011.
It is then that John started making public appearances with Priya. She was also by his side when John's debut production "Vicky Donor" was honoured as the best film providing wholesome entertainment at the 60th National Film Awards ceremony in New Delhi last year.

Preface II
Dufournet, Jean, Fifteenth Century Studies
As we encounter Edelgard E. DuBruck, we are impressed and charmed by her attitude, her conversation, her appearance, her behavior, and her intellectual bearing. High quality characterizes every one of her writings, books, articles, and reviews, in whatever language she has chosen, because her studies as well as the vicissitudes of her life have familiarized her not only with German (her native tongue) but also with English (now her main language), and with French and Spanish which she taught for years at Marygrove College, along with Humanities. In so doing, she has acquired an exceptionally vast cultural background, rare in fact among university personnel.
Those who know her personally discover soon in her glance and smile a poignant melancholy which appears even during the happiest moments of her life. This touch of sadness derives doubtlessly from the greatest affliction she has endured: in her youth she was forced to flee from Breslau (now called Wroclaw), Silesia, in 1945, when the Red army advanced. In West Germany, she studied at Braunschweig and Freiburg (Black Forest), and was fortunate to receive a scholarship in the United States, choosing Michigan, whose climate was comparable to that of her former home. After her emigration in the 1950s, she embraced the USA gratefully, accepting its freedom and security, and became an esteemed citizen who contributed to this country by her teaching and other academic tasks. Even before obtaining her doctorate at the University of Michigan (1962), she had a handful of publications in her name. She founded Fifteenth-Century Studies in 1978, a periodical which soon reached international distribution by the regularity of its appearance and the rich diversity of its contents. As editor, she spends much time reading articles submitted for publication, proofreading, and maintaining correspondence. Her patience is almost unlimited.
She faced her afflictions and mishaps with an extraordinary strength of character and soul, and a kind of stoicism as well as great passions helped her to avoid suffering. Her parents contributed to her development by introducing her to museums, to concerts, and to the theater early, and her first teachers cultivated her taste for and ability in foreign languages and literatures, and for music. She had vocal, piano, and organ lessons, and soon preferred Baroque music, especially that of J. S. Bach.
Generally, she loves silence and discretion as much as she detests redundance and repetition; teaching and writing are her passions. In addition, she has organized fifteenth-c. sessions during the annual medieval congresses at Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo) since 1966, and arranged for four international congresses - at Regcnsburg (1982), Perpignan (France; 1990), Kaprun/Salzburg (Austria; 1995), and Antwerp (Belgium; 2000). She enjoys helping younger colleagues to embark upon their careers, and to present and submit their first articles. While she refuses facile and superficial communications, she remains generous and openminded wherever she detects sparks of talent and a certain willingness to accept suggestions. Her judgment of quality is unfailingly sure.
Even though Edelgard's background is vast and diverse, she is always eager to increase her knowledge and to work hard. A passionate student of Michel de Montaigne, she annotated the three-volume edition of his work by Maurice Rat and a valuable monograph by Hugo Friedrich, her beloved mentor in Freiburg. She likes to work, as can be noticed in the recent volume 30 of Fifteenth-Century Studies (henceforth: FCS): it contains not only her customary "Current State of Research on Late-Medieval Drama (2002-2004)" with its survey of publications, a bibliography, and thirteen reviews of books on European drama, but also her article on gestural communication in the Passion Isabeau (1398 - edited by her in 1990) and its miniatures, and, finally, three reviews of monographs on subjects other than theater. …

NEW DELHI: Jharkhand Cabinet's decision recommending dissolution of the Assembly was "not binding" on the Governor as it was done by the Arjun Munda Government after being reduced to a "minority", Congress said today.
"It is not binding on the Governor to accept the recommendation of a minority government. It was crystal clear that the BJP-led government had been reduced to a minority after withdrawal of support by the JMM", senior leader Shakeel Ahmed said.

In response to NY-PATS-FAN4's comment:
In response to mthurl's comment:
All I read was abandoning the run and then I stopped.
Hey did you catch Benny's masterful day today? 17 carries for 56 yards (a 3.3 average). You still believe we should of just kept feeding this guy the ball last year? He's 22nd (at least before today) in rushing despite being Cincy's "lead" back this year. He has three touchdowns and three fumbles, he has something like 8 catches. After a week off to rejuvinate his 27 year old legs he only manages 53 yards against the 15th ranked run defense in the NFL? And this was a close game too.
Some of us realized long ago that Benny was nothing more than a backup (you weren't one of them). He's a good guy, tries hard, but in the end you "abandon" the run when he is your back. You've got to.
Figure out why we are running more this year yet? It's because we have better runners - it's not because of mean Tom Brady telling Belichick and O'Brien what to do.
I always thought Law Firm was a good back; not special, just got the most yards that HE could get on a play. It was clearly time to move on, as much better natural talent sprung up in the Pats backfield.
That said, it is a little disingenuous to bash Benny over his performance in Cincy. Watching the game today, neither Gayle Sayers nor Jim Brown nor Barry Sanders nor Adrian Peterson could have gained much behind that woeful line. Seemed like two out of three carries, he was getting hit within a split-second after Dalton gave him the ball.
I posted on another thread that Steven Jackson was averaging only 3.7 a carry going into the game against the Pats. He is clearly a beast of a runner, but without holes a back just can't do much, especially someone like BJGE, who runs with strength rather than cuts and moves.
The guy has heart. He's just getting beaten up in Cincy.
Well I must say I disagree with you - two weeks ago it was reported that teams simply crowd the middle when they face Benny. Why? Because they know he can't get outside. So all teams are doing is taking away the only thing he can do...run in one direction (straight ahead) without having to make a cut or move. If it looks like he is getting nailed right away, it's because he leaves his team at a disadvantage do to his limited skill. If the guy had any burst, moves or ability to cut, teams wouldn't be able to do that to the Bengals.
Okay, we can agree to disagree. I was merely reporting what I witnessed with my own eyes, after watching the entire Bengals-Broncos game today.
I can't speak to the league's defensive schemes against the Bengals, because I don't care to follow them, so you may be right in that teams are crowding the middle (although if that were the case, seems the QB should be calling audible throws to the outside to spread them out). But I can speak to the fact that their guards and tackles were being consistently dominated, one-on-one, at the line of scrimmage. Seriously, I can recall at least a half dozen runs where BJGE had barely taken the handoff before the DT had plowed into his rib cage. Everyone knows Law Firm lacks explosiveness, but he was never accused of being a dancer, a la Maroney. Getting to the LOS was never his problem; getting 20 yards past it, when a nice hole opened up, was.
No matter how you slice it, any objective eye would conclude that Cincy's O-Line is just beyond atrocious. As a unit, they are far, far worse than the Pats' secondary, at the moment.
I'll agree he is not a dancer and I'd go so far to say that he is a decent backup running back. The point I was trying to make is that Benny is not reason enough to be a focus point of an offense. That has been the argument on here for over a year now because some believe the ball should of been taken out of Brady's hands and put into his.
Benny to me was the type of runner that everything had to be blocked perfectly for him to run successfully, and I don't think that is something that you can win with. Some of the holes this guy had a chance to run through last season were plenty big enough for a lot of NFL backs, but Benny couldn't make a cut and change his direction to get into them. I'm not saying Ridley is going to the hall of fame, but he can at least make those cuts without losing all his speed and explosiveness - in my opinion Benny couldn't.

On the basis of the material available both in the scientific literature and on the web, this paper aims to provide a pharmacological, chemical and behavioural overview of the novel compound methoxetamine. This is a dissociative drug related to ketamine, with a much longer duration of action and intensity of effects. A critical discussion of the availability of information on the web of methoxetamine as a new recreational trend is here provided. Those methodological limitations, which are intrinsically associated with the analysis of online, non-peer reviewed, material, are here discussed as well. It is concluded that the online availability of information on novel psychoactive drugs, such as methoxethanine, may constitute a pressing public health challenge. Better international collaboration levels and novel forms of intervention are necessary to tackle this fast-growing phenomenon. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Ice Cream in a Bag
This recipe is enough for one kid, so that each kid can make their own.
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups crushed ice
4 tablespoons salt
2 quart size Zip-loc bags
1 gallon size Zip-loc freezer bag
a hand towel or gloves to keep fingers from freezing as well!
Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar together in one of the quart size bags. Seal tightly, allowing as little air to remain in the bag as possible. Too much air left inside may force the bag open during shaking. Place this bag inside the other quart size bag, again leaving as little air inside as possible and sealing well. By double-bagging, the risk of salt and ice leaking into the ice cream is minimized. Put the two bags inside the gallon size bag and fill the bag with ice, then sprinkle salt on top. Again let all the air escape and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds the cream mixture. Five to eight minutes is adequate time for the mixture to freeze into ice cream.

This review is from: HP Compaq Desktop PC DC7900 (HPDC7900E850001) Core 2 Duo E8500 (3.16 GHz) 4GB 750 GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
Pros: I have an elderly customer that has used XP from day one. His computer is old and slow, and is now showing signs of corruption. I knew he wouldn't like Winodws 8 so I ordered this unit as I have been very happy with them in the past.
Cons: The drive that came with it failed the second day. It had over 250 errors recorded by SMART and a high sector relocation count. I contacted AST, they provided an RMA number, I shipped the drive and they shipped the replacement. The replacement is old and heavily used making an odd clicking sound, but passed all the testing.
Other Thoughts: If your looking for a basic workstation this is it. I even use one of these for multimedia at my church. They are workhorses and come from a time when HP made a solid product.

I was mostly minding my own business when a woman comes up to me in the grocery store and begins laughing.
"Hey, I got a kick out of your column last week. Made me laugh. I enjoy The Columbian."
She chats me up a bit. I like that.
I smile and say thank you.
o o o
I'm playing Texas Hold 'em, and I gots me pocket 10s and the flop brings another 10. I'm all set up except for that Weiner — wait, he's still in New York — in seat seven who hangs with me the entire time and catches a straight on the end.
I'm still steamin' when Jimmy, the guy runnin' the poker floor, comes over and smiles.
"We'd all turn into marauding animals and Cubs fans."
He's quoting from my column on what would happen if we had no societal restraints on us.
"Now that's a funny line," he says.
He chats me up on life and newspapers. I like that. I smile and say thank you but still can't figure out what that testa dura in seat seven was doing in the hand.
o o o
I'm not following The Columbian's forums as much as I used to. That's the one spot on our website where we still allow anonymous sign-ins. Every place else, you have to sign in via Facebook, which gives us a better shot at having real names, which brings that societal restraint in play that I was talking about.
Still — sort of like venturing into the Everglades at night — I wander into our forum and hope to come out alive.
There I find a cat named Willbridge, and let's just say he's not a big fan of mine. He's usually all over me like a mist on a Northwest day, but for now he's just complaining about the Facebook sign-in.
You see, he wants to get in there with the real people — he understands that is where the action will be in the future — but just doesn't like Facebook.
Still, he makes the plunge. But then our Web Editor Libby Tucker tells him we have to check him out, just to make sure he's using his real name. He balks.
"Sorry, Libby. I don't think so. Invasion of my privacy stops right there."
I decide to chat him up.
"Of course that's your choice, Will. But as many people here have clearly said, faking a Facebook name can be done. So — sorry — we have to check."
Then something happens that is even stranger than that mulo who stayed with me in that poker hand.
Willbridge reconsiders.
"OK. Fair enough argument I suppose. Count me in."
Then he explains why.
"I still REALLY hate it. But my desire to make snarky comments towards you prevails. :)"
He gives me the smiley face at the end. I've used that technique myself, but it never really seems to work.
Regardless, I'm always up for a chat — a conversation. Snarky sometimes comes with the job. And at least it feels better if there's a real name behind the snarkiness.
o o o
All of the above examples hopefully show one thing: Talking is good. And, frankly, we need to do more of it. More of it in the grocery stores and in the poker rooms and on the websites across this great land of ours.
Newspaper websites, frankly, have a golden opportunity to become the center of conversations.
I'm thinking "Community Begins Here" is a pretty good rallying cry for The Columbian.
Everyone is welcome. Well, maybe not everyone. That cervello di uccello in seat seven who beat my set of 10s? Not so much.
