British GP: New rules, same result
Then some rain began to fall later in the session and Vettel had no way to respond and will slot in 2nd on the grid.
The 2nd row was all Ferrari with Fernando Alonso a close 3rd, just 0.117s off pole. Felipe Massa will start 4th in his Ferrari but he is 0.725s off of pole, an eternity in F1.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was that Jenson Button was 1.5s off of pole for McLaren and his teammate Lewis Hamilton will start 1.9s off the pace in 10th.
Ironically McLaren was one of the teams pushing hard to have the blown exhaust thru the diffusers cut back and they may have been impacted the most.
Fernando Alonso was delighted to be within 0.117s of pole position at Silverstone on Saturday afternoon, hailing the hour-long qualifying session as his 'best of the year' so far. The Ferrari driver will start tomorrow's 52-lap race from third on the grid, finishing just over one tenth adrift of pole-sitter Mark Webber.
"I'm very happy, I think it's the best qualifying of the year in terms of the gap to pole position. We've been more or less one second or seven tenths (behind) in the last couple of races.
"Being here Silverstone, in a circuit which is normally not our preference in terms of layout and characteristics, to be within one tenth of pole is good for us. All of the new parts we brought here are working well, we're pleased with qualifying, but the job is tomorrow when the points are given.
"Hopefully in the race we can still perform well, be close to these guys and put some pressure on these guys to be on the podium in the end."
Red Bull-Renault
Mark Webber (1st, 1:30.399): "I've always enjoyed driving here, but you still have to put it all together. You don't get these results without applying yourself. It was a very mixed session for all of us, even in the build up with yesterday's rain. It was important to make sure every lap counted, as you never knew if it was going to be the one that counted for your main grid position, so even in Q2 you had to make sure you weren't caught out. In the end I'm happy with the job we did; it's easy to slip up in conditions like that from a logistical point of view and also from the driver's perspective, so it was a good job by the team and we're in a good position for tomorrow's race."
Sebastian Vettel (2nd, 1:30.431): "I think it was a difficult session with the changing conditions. I think when it starts to rain here it can be on different parts of the circuit, so it's quite difficult to see where it's wet and where it's fine, so you rely on the out lap or the previous lap. If you go flat out and hit a damp area, it's very easy to go off track. So, I think it wasn't easy today, but in the end it was mostly dry. It's a shame we couldn't get the second run in Q3, I would have loved to have challenged Mark again, but he got a good lap. It was a very good result for us, especially with all the talk that was going on into this race, so it's good to see that we're still on top of our game and can produce quick lap times. Anything can happen tomorrow, I think this circuit is tough on tires, so we will see what we get tomorrow."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "After so much off circuit focus, it was a relief to finally get into the grand prix weekend in very difficult conditions. Both drivers did a great job to navigate though Q1 and Q2 and the first run proved to be the crucial in Q3; it was nip and tuck between the drivers and Mark produced an excellent lap to claim his second pole and the team's ninth of the season. We can see that Ferrari is pretty close, but today was a huge performance for the team."
Cyril Dumont, Renault: "So, first of all I'm really pleased for everyone in the factory for this result - it's very good for Red Bull and for Renault. I think the session was quite difficult with all the climatic changes, so it's great to be one and two again. I think engine-wise it was a difficult weekend also with all the changing technical directives that were issued. Even with the final rule clarification, we got this good result, so let's see tomorrow when we will aim to convert these positions into points."
Jenson Button (5th, 1:31.898): "Today was a bit of a topsy-turvy day. The balance of our car wasn't great, and it's always difficult when you find out at the last minute what you're running: it isn't a matter of a mere flick of a switch to change things. For some teams, the tightening of the regulations helped; but it hurt others. So I guess fifth place feels just about okay after what we've been through in the past few days. Hopefully, we can still take the fight to the guys in front at our home grand prix, and give the famous Silverstone crowd something to shout about."
Lewis Hamilton (10th, 1:32.376): "I enjoyed the changeable weather conditions today, but it's disappointing to have ended up so far behind. For Q3, we fitted a used set of Options for our first run when the others ran new tires, and that hurt our performance. Then, when we fitted new tires for the final run, it started raining so I couldn't improve my time. I think there are a couple of guys in front of me who ought to be slower than me, so I'll do my best to make progress in the early laps even though overtaking here is difficult. I hope we can still have an exciting race, but it'll be tricky. I guess I'll be hoping for rain tomorrow to increase my chances of getting a good result. Nevertheless, the fans here are the best in the world - they're sensational in fact - and they'll spur me on in the race. I really hope I can do something special for them tomorrow."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Clearly, we'd intended to qualify better than fifth and 10th for our home grand prix, so inevitably today's qualifying session was a disappointing one. It's been a difficult day, blighted by a lot of to-ing and fro-ing in relation to the regulations, and compromised by equally changeable weather conditions. That combination made things difficult for everyone, and the shape of tomorrow's grid was always likely to be tricky to predict as a result. But tomorrow is what really matters, and in Jenson and Lewis we've got two of the most skilful and most combative racers in the sport today. I know how dearly they'd love to be able to put on a good show in front of the most knowledgeable and most supportive spectators in Formula 1, and you can be absolutely certain that they'll be giving it 100 per cent as soon as the five red lights go out on the start line gantry at 1.00pm tomorrow - and so will everyone else at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes."
Fernando Alonso (3rd, 1:30.516): "I think that was the best qualifying of the year in performance terms. It's true that the actual result was better in Canada - second - but I was further off pole position than I am today. Furthermore, we are at a circuit that definitely does not suit the characteristics of our car and to be just over a tenth off first is a great sign. The new parts we introduced here worked well and I think that tomorrow, we can put those who start in front of us under a bit of pressure. The team has done so much work and this step forward is down to them. We have also made progress in the way we manage the tires: from what we could see in the few dry laps we did today, we can even make the Hard tire work, while back in Barcelona they lost us a lap in less than half a race distance. Tire performance will be very important tomorrow, whether as forecast it's dry, or wet, which can always ambush you here. We will have to be ready for any eventuality: it will be important to get a good start, which constitutes the only really new element at this track compared to the past. Am I hoping for rain? No, especially for the fans who have already got wet for the past two days. Let's hope we can put on a great show for this very large crowd."
Felipe Massa (4th, 1:31.124): "I'd say this was a good qualifying for us: to be third and fourth on the grid is a nice result, especially when compared to some Saturdays earlier in the season. In Q3, at first I did not get a good lap, making a few mistakes: I thought I could make up for it on my second run, but the rain arrived and it was no longer possible. Fourth place is therefore positive, especially as I was able to keep both McLarens behind me. From what we can see, the car seems competitive. Sure, we don't have much to go on, especially on full tanks and in terms of how the tires will perform on a long run. It will be a bit like racing in the dark with so many things only coming to light during the race. How much was our performance affected by the new rules concerning the use of exhaust gases? All the cars, ours included, have lost aerodynamic downforce to some extent, some more than others, but I would say that the progress we have made compared to the others owes more to the updates we have introduced. How else can one explain the fact that, for the first time this year, we have also managed to get the Hard tires to work in a correct fashion."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "An encouraging qualifying, especially in terms of our performance. Coming this close to pole position at a track which, on paper, looks like a tough one for us, is a positive step and a good basis from which to start our work for the future, both in the short and long term. I say this because we have worked so hard these past months to make up a very big gap and, step by step, we are getting there. We have to continue in this manner, if possible doing even more. As for this weekend, which is such an important one for us, as it marks the sixtieth anniversary of Scuderia Ferrari's first Formula 1 win, we must try our best to have a good race. We start from good positions and from the little we have been able to tell over these past two days, the updates we have brought here are working well. Usually, our race pace is better than in qualifying, so let's hope that is also the case tomorrow... Finally, I wish to congratulate Jules for his GP2 win this afternoon, at the end of a race which he drove with brio."
Pat Fry: "A good qualifying, during which we were fighting for the top places right to the end. All three sessions were very intense because we had to contend with the continuously changing weather. We tried to stay calm, even if we were all a bit concerned when we saw Fernando going off onto the grass: there might have been some damage done to the car and, with rain on its way, the situation would have been even more complicated. Luckily, everything turned out alright. Both drivers did a good job, trying to get the most out of the package at their disposal. We have so many new parts here, but yesterday there was no way we could evaluate them fully, because of the rain. However, given that there were no particularly negative conclusions, we decided to run all of them and, looking at this afternoon's performance, you could see the results. On a track where aerodynamic efficiency is the key element, we have got both cars onto the second row, with a smaller gap to pole than last year. This confirms that our development work on the 150§ Italia is moving in the right direction, but we are well aware it is still not enough to be where we want to be. Tomorrow, we should have a dry race: we will be trying our very best to give all our fans something to cheer about."
Mercedes GP
Nico Rosberg (9th, 1:32.209): "We have made good progress with our technical package this weekend, but P9 is not the best that we could have achieved today. At the end of Q2, I was in fifth place, but on my final lap in Q3, the track was wet in turn 15 and I just couldn't improve in that final sector. With the pace of the car, hopefully we can make up some places in the race tomorrow."
Michael Schumacher (13th, 1:32.656): "Qualifying did not go totally right today but I am not frustrated as I know the reason why. Owing to the uncertain weather situation, and in order to not risk driving in the rain, we went out rather early, which simply turned out to be too early. On my last lap, the tires were unfortunately already gone and, especially in turn six, I suffered understeer which cost me the time to make it into the top ten. It did not have anything to do with the gearbox issue we experienced this morning. Let's see what can be possible now coming from P13 and having some fresh tires available - maybe some rain could help."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "We have had very limited dry running with our new aerodynamic package this weekend, as well as having to come to terms with the change in engine strategies. Rain in the final sector prevented Nico from achieving a better lap time at the end of Q3, which would have made a reasonable difference to our starting position. Michael lost out by less than seven-hundredths in a very close battle in Q2, but it was a patchy qualifying session during which we didn't catch the track at the right times. Today was the first step in utilizing the new exhaust designs and technologies, and we are still finding our way."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "Nico posted his fastest Q3 time on a set of used option tires which had completed an out-lap earlier in the session, and was considerably quicker with his new options in the first two sectors of his final attempt. His two split times were good enough to suggest he could have finished P5, but he had to abort the lap in the last sector because of rain. Michael missed out on Q3 by less than a tenth of a second. Starting from ninth and 13th places on the grid, we did not achieve the maximum possible today, but nevertheless we will fight for better results tomorrow."
Vitaly Petrov (14th, 1:32.734): "I am disappointed, as we all came here with much higher expectations. The rain has disturbed things this weekend, there's no doubt about that. Today again, the weather has made it very difficult. As a result, we could not unlock our potential and secure the flying lap that we would have needed. Having said that, the car feels very strong and fast in high speed corners so I still remain optimistic that we can gain quite a few places in the race tomorrow. I hope our strategy is effective, because the DRS sector is not very long and overtaking opportunities here are limited. We will need to be very much on our game to take our performance up, but we are up to the challenge."
Nick Heidfeld (16th, 1:33.805): "At this stage, it's still difficult to see how much effect the changes made to the mapping rules had on our performance this weekend. It had an impact, of course, but our feeling is that today's situation is the result of several factors. The rain did make our preparations difficult, also. The car is not bad to drive and it does not seem slow, we've just not been in a position to fully exploit it. We struggled with the rear wing yesterday and then this morning, changed it for qualifying that hopefully worked better but obviously disappointed to only be in P16."
James Allison, Technical Director: "The alterations to the engine rules have clearly upset the order somewhat, but that's not where all our focus lies. The fact is that for the past three or four races we have been on a trend that is far from impressive and, at this event, we have been showing far less performance than we should be showing with our car and of the efforts of our team and partners. We need to pick ourselves up from here and get a lot of the forthcoming developments, because P14 and P16 are simply not good enough. We missed the top ten by a very small margin today but we've got upgrades to come for Germany which are worth three-tenths, even more tenths for the race after that. So, we've got to grind that out and put the car in a position that is more reflective of where we should be. It has made it awkward but it's been like this for everyone, so that's no justification for underperforming like we have over the past two days. We've benefited from the fact that we've saved an extra set of tires, so there's a silver lining to the cloud! The tires will be precious tomorrow, there's no doubt of that. The soft (option) tire is the right one to be racing on, and the degradation is high, so rather like in Spain and at other tracks this season having a virgin set is quite a good thing. We've got to get a good start and then make the most of the leverage that things like that extra set will give us."
Pastor Maldonado (7th, 1:31.933): "Our car is working well and we gave a good performance today. It is Williams' home race so I'm happy for the team. I'm quite confident and really looking forward to tomorrow as I always enjoy racing at Silverstone. The circuit with its quick corners suits our car so let's see what happens."
Rubens Barrichello (15th, 1:33.119): "I had traffic at the end of my first timed lap in Q2 which damaged my second timed lap as well. When a track like this is drying out you can lose everything so it's very unfortunate that happened. We need to see what the weather is going to do tomorrow but I think the car is a lot better than our qualifying position shows and the team have done a good job."
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "It was good to have one car in the top ten today. We ran all the new parts on both cars - the exhaust, diffuser, front wing and suspension, which is always rewarding and gives the factory a clear direction for the forthcoming races. We're running to the FIA's 10% throttle requirement here which is something that will be reviewed again before Nurburgring. Seventh was a great result for Pastor in conditions that were more difficult than usual, and he's now in a strong position for the start of the race. Rubens was on it as well, but track conditions didn't go his way this afternoon."
Force India-Mercedes
Paul di Resta (6th, 1:31.929): "I'm really happy with the result today. To be here for my first British Grand Prix and to be starting in sixth place feels great. The whole team did an excellent job and made sure we were out on track at the right times. The car has shown very strongly in every session and even in the wet yesterday we were very comfortable. Maybe there was a little bit of luck at the end of Q3 when the rain started again, but I think that in the worst case scenario I would have ended up in eighth. Hopefully we can carry the performance into tomorrow and come away with a strong result in my home race."
Adrian Sutil (11th, 1:32.617): "I'm quite happy with this qualifying session. It puts us in a good position for tomorrow. It was very close with four or five positions separated by a few tenths and I just missed out on making Q3 in the final few moments. The track conditions were tricky because it was a little bit wet at the beginning of Q2 and the track was constantly improving as it dried. We made the right calls with the tires and made the most of the conditions so I'm quite happy with the outcome. I think the weather conditions are likely to be a bit better tomorrow and points will be the aim."
Dr. Vijay Mallya, Team Principal: "To be starting the British Grand Prix from P6 and P11 is an excellent result for Force India and we can be very pleased with the performance of the car today. The weather conditions have been challenging for everyone over the last couple of days, but we've remained focused on the job and found a good balance with the cars despite the lack of dry running. I'm very proud of what Paul has achieved today. He has come here extremely confident and delivered an outstanding performance. Adrian, too, has felt very comfortable and we are now well placed to get both cars in the points tomorrow. Silverstone is always one of the highlights of the season and a special race for Force India. It's the home of our factory and a strong result here would be a fitting reward for the team's hard work so far this year."
Kamui Kobayashi (8th, 1:32.128): "It was a tricky qualifying with the constantly changing conditions. It was extremely difficult to predict what would be right and what would be wrong, but we have handled this quite well. In Q1 I struggled a bit because I wasn't used to the car's balance on the hard tires, and didn't have a chance to do a lap on the soft compound because the rain set in. In Q2 the track conditions were still tricky and damp, but in Q3, when I did my final lap on fresh soft tires, everything worked out the way it should do. I am happy with this lap and I am especially thankful to my team because, due to their hard work, we recovered from what happened on Friday morning. Now I want to make the most of all this in tomorrow's race."
Sergio Perez (12th, 1:32.624): "I think we did a good job today. It is a shame to miss Q3 by 36 thousandths of a second, but I'm quite happy with our performance. Because of the changing conditions it was not an easy qualifying. Overall here our car is good. This is thanks to some improvements but also down to the circuit. The high speed corners suit us quite well. From where I will start the race I have every chance to score points tomorrow, and I am very much looking forward to my first British Grand Prix."
Peter Sauber, Team Principal: "It has become even more difficult to get into the top ten, and this means you are going to be even happier when you make it. Congratulations to Kamui and his crew, as today timing was also very important. Sergio's 12th place is also alright, and he has saved a set of fresh tires for the race."
James Key, Technical Director: "I think all in all it was a reasonable day. This morning we had the first dry running of the weekend, so there was a lot of work to do. A lot of the test items from Friday had to be carried over to a very busy third free practice, but we pretty much proved everything we needed to, which was good. In qualifying it was tricky, as the conditions were very, very variable and quite difficult to predict, even though we had radar showing that the rain was quite light. It would have been great to get both cars into Q3, but we got one so we can't complain at all. Sergio did a great job to be 12th, and Kamui did very well to get through. Our position is okay, although it would have been nice to be a little bit further ahead, but we know our race pace is very strong compared to our qualifying pace so we will be looking to make the most of our starting positions tomorrow."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jaime Alguersuari (18th, 1:35.245): "We were a bit unlucky and also we didn't get it right, because we should have switched to the soft tire sooner, as they are worth about two seconds compared to the hard, so we never used our full potential. But it is not all negative, because we have good data in case it is wet again tomorrow and also as regards the Prime tire on a long run, so we can be in good shape for the race. If we make the best of any opportunities, then it is not impossible for us to finish in the points again by the end of tomorrow afternoon. At least I have lots of new tires ready to use and with only limited use of the DRS allowed in the race, we could be competitive not only in the wet, as was the case on Friday, but also in the dry."
Sebastien Buemi (19th, 1:35.749): "I'm a bit disappointed, as we were not expecting the rain to arrive so soon, which meant we did not run the Option tire as early as we might have done. But the rain came down hard on my "out" lap, so I never got a chance to set a good time with the soft tire, which normally is as much as two seconds a lap quicker than the hard. On the positive side, we have plenty of new tires for tomorrow, so let's hope it will be dry. From this start position, getting a good start will be essential because, even with DRS, I think overtaking at this circuit will be difficult. This season we have started from poor grid positions but still gone on to have a good race and I hope that is the case tomorrow."
Giorgio Ascanelli, Technical Director: "Of course it's disappointing not to make the cut into Q2. This morning, the drivers did not get much of an opportunity to run on low fuel, as we concentrated on race preparation, so we started qualifying sending them out on Prime tires for a few laps to get a feel for a light car. Then, once they came in to switch to the Option, the rain came and caught us out, which meant there was no chance to improve the lap times."
Heikki Kovalainen (17th, 1:34.821): "I'm very pleased with that. Before qualifying we knew it would be important to get as much as we could out of the dry tires because the showers were expected - small showers, but we just didn't know when they were going to happen so we had to give it everything on the slicks. At the start of Q1 I managed to get a pretty decent lap in and got everything out of the car almost immediately. Then when I went out for the second run the rain started but having got it right when it was dry we were already where we needed to be so the whole team can be pleased about where we ended up. Hopefully I can put in a good race from 17th. I know the whole team is working very well together and even though the outright performance isn't quite there yet, we are still getting everything out of the car and attacking the teams ahead - that's what we're here to do in our second season, so days like today are very encouraging for me and everyone in Team Lotus."
Jarno Trulli (21st, 1:36.456): "The rain played its part in Q1 and the session unfortunately was cut short after I'd only had one run. It wasn't quite good enough, which is a shame, but we have one car in Q2 which shows we have the pace to take the fight to the cars ahead, so hopefully I can have a strong race tomorrow, as long as I can avoid any bad luck with the conditions!"
Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "I am very happy with today's performance. To run like this at Silverstone, where the Team Lotus dream began when I met Mike here, and put a car into Q2 in only our second year is a big achievement. Heikki gave it 100% and Q2 is a deserved reward for his efforts today. I am a bit disappointed for Jarno - we'll have to find out what happened to him because there was quite a big gap between him and Heikki, but now I am looking forward to the race tomorrow. Our race pace has been good all season, so the aim is to maintain our much improved reliability record and see what happens in the race itself."
Mike Gascoyne, Technical Director: "I am delighted with our performance today, and especially pleased for Heikki. In conditions like that it is a good result for the whole team to get the strategy calls right and Heikki did exactly what he needed to do to get into Q2, and he gave it his best shot in that session as well so full credit to him. On Jarno's side he has been struggling all day with the balance so I am obviously disappointed for him, but tomorrow in the race I am sure it will be different and he will be able to attack the group in front. Overall this has been a good couple of days for us. The team has reacted well to all the changes we have had had to make with the amendments to the regulations and now we need to round off this weekend with a strong two-car finish and take the fight to the teams immediately in front of us."
Thierry Salvi, Renault: "This morning in P3 we took a step forward compared to yesterday because we had much improved weather conditions and that definitely helped us in qualifying. We were able to finalize our engine mapping comparisons and focus on the effect of the new regulations which allowed us to make the right decisions for qualifying. That was obviously the right strategy because when you look at Heikki's lap time in Q1 it was very good and that enabled him to get into Q2. Jarno was not so lucky because of the weather - it's always difficult when the conditions change that quickly, but for the whole team this has been a good day."
Vitantonio Liuzzi (23rd, 1:37.484): "It was a difficult qualifying session because of the weather but also because we've had an issue with the car since yesterday; the handling hasn't been good since the beginning and the weather hasn't helped us to understand the new bits we've brought on the car. It hasn't been easy, we didn't have the best balance for qualifying but, overall, it was the best run we've had all week because it was a bit better overall. The race will be quite difficult because our rivals seem to be running faster than last year. We knew that this circuit wouldn't be great for our car but we have to keep on pushing and see how it goes tomorrow."
Daniel Ricciardo (24th, 1:38.059): "My first qualifying session was alright but it was a bit frustrating with the weather, we couldn't do two runs so we were just limited to one but it was ok. I would like to be a little bit closer to the rest of the field but I can't try to expect too much for now, it's a big learning curve. I'm half a second off Tonio which isn't much but for a racing car driver it is quite a lot, I want more but I shouldn't really expect too much at this stage, if I can keep closing the gap then it's ok. The F111 is actually quite good, with the option tires the level of grip has surprised me, that's one part that will come from experience; knowing how far I can push it. In high speed corners I can still race at my speed. I think there's definitely potential and if I'm able to keep an open mind and am willing to learn; I think we will definitely move forward. I met the team on Wednesday and it's been a pretty deep introduction and I think it's gone quite smoothly, everyone seems really nice. With the engineers, it's hard to come into Formula 1 and start a fresh relationship in the middle of a season but I think we're doing quite well and I'm sure it gets easier from here. I expect to finish the race and be competitive, if I can maybe close the gap in the race and be within a few tenths of Tonio, I think that would be a positive start and some progress. If we can get ahead of a few other cars then that would be a good result."
Colin Kolles, Team Principal: "It was a difficult day because a lot of rain came down in FP3 and it wasn't easy to get the set up right for qualifying. Obviously, also during qualifying it started to rain and, unfortunately, we had the wrong timing and were unable to do a second run. So this is why the result is quite disappointing. Tomorrow we have to finish the race and we will see what will be the end. Today I would have expected more; we knew that it would be difficult because we had traction problems and have a lack of downforce. We had some new parts on the car but, unfortunately, it was difficult to get the right timing and to react in the right way under these circumstances. If tomorrow we have what we had today then I will be happy. In free practice it's better to have dry conditions; in qualifying it's better to have consistent conditions, either rain or dry, and all this didn't happen. For us, starting at the end of the grid, the best would be to have heavy rain like in Canada for the race."
Timo Glock (20th, 1:36.203): "I'm quite happy with where we are today - I'm P20, I got Trulli and it was a pretty good lap. The car didn't feel great in the dry this morning, so we made some changes, but it still wasn't quite there. I gave it everything for that one lap though and did quite well. We're never quite sure what Silverstone will bring in terms of the changing weather, so I like this kind of qualifying where you just have to hammer down for a lap to get a banker in early and sure enough the rain came. With a new set of tires you have this one magic moment to make it all come good and I just made the best of it at the right time. There was a small mistake on my part but I got ahead of my immediate competitors so I have to be pleased. I'm very excited for our home race tomorrow."
Jerome d'Ambrosio (22nd, 1:37.154): "This morning went really well, I had a good feeling with the car. This afternoon was fine too but unfortunately with the weather changing I was unable to get a second run, which was unfortunate as I made a mistake on the fastest lap of my first run. But I think in general it's not so bad and it should be a good race tomorrow."
John Booth, Team Principal: "With better conditions today we were able to start our dry set-up work and tire evaluations, although FP3 wasn't without rain and this did mean that we haven't quite got all the data we required from the tires. Timo performed well in FP3 but was never really with the way the car felt, particularly compared with the well-balanced car that he had in Valencia. Working with his engineers he made some fairly comprehensive set-up changes before qualifying, which is always a risk. However he was happier with the car in his first run and posted an impressive lap. The rain at the start of FP3 cut short a planned long run for Jerome, which would have given us more tire data. However, Jerome used the opportunity to complete some set-up work that ultimately both cars benefited from. It's a shame Jerome didn't get the second run in qualifying, as I'm sure he would have improved."

humor hu·mor (hyōō'mər)
A body fluid, such as blood, lymph, or bile.
Aqueous humor.
Vitreous humor.
One of the four fluids of the body, blood, phlegm, choler, and black bile, whose relative proportions were thought in ancient and medieval physiology to determine a person's disposition and general health.
A person's characteristic disposition or temperament.
An often temporary state of mind; a mood.
Our Living Language : Doctors in ancient times and in the Middle Ages thought the human body contained a mixture of four substances, called humors, that determined a person's health and character. The humors were fluids (humor means "fluid" in Latin), and they differed from each other in being either warm or cold and moist or dry. Each humor was also associated with one of the four elements, the basic substances that made up the universe in ancient schemes of thought. Blood was the warm, moist humor associated with the element fire, and phlegm was the cold, moist humor associated with water. Black bile was the cold, dry humor associated with the earth, and yellow bile was the warm, dry humor associated with the air. Illnesses were thought to be caused by an imbalance in the humors within the body, as were defects in personality, and some medical terminology in English still reflects these outmoded concepts. For example, too much black bile was thought to make a person gloomy, and nowadays symptoms of depression such as insomnia and lack of pleasure in enjoyable activities are described as melancholic symptoms, ultimately from the Greek word melancholia, "excess of black bile," formed from melan-, "black," and khole, "bile." The old term for the cold, clammy humor, phlegm, lives on today as the word for abnormally large accumulations of mucus in the upper respiratory tract. Another early name of yellow bile in English, choler, is related to the name of the disease cholera, which in earlier times denoted stomach disorders thought to be due to an imbalance of yellow bile. Both words are ultimately from the Greek word chole, "bile."
An archaic term for any fluid substance in the body, such as blood, lymph, or bile.
Note: Physicians in the Middle Ages believed that four principal humors — blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile — controlled body functions and that a person's temperament resulted from the humor that was most prevalent in the body. Sanguine people were controlled by blood, phlegmatic people by phlegm, choleric people by yellow bile (also known as "choler"), and melancholic people by black bile (also known as "melancholy").

Jean Tox during Dianetics Bus summer Tour 1997
Paris trial : Revelations from a key witness formerly known as Jean Tox
(Posted on ESMB on the 1 2 10)
R factor : (Quoted from Jonny Jacobsen, a Scottish independant journalist)
"On the third day of the Paris trial of Scientology, the judge told a former plaintiff's story (Eric Aubry) – and questioned another of the defendants (Didier Michaux), one of the movement's top salesmen.
Three out of the five people who originally filed as plaintiffs in the Paris case against Scientology eventually withdrew their complaints. But details of what they told investigators remained on file.
On Wednesday May 27, the third day of the trial, President of the Court Judge Sophie-Hélène Château read out details of Eric Aubry's story.
Aubry had got involved with Scientology after buying a copy of Dianetics from a Scientologist touring France in a bus to promote the movement.
During a 19-month period – from September 1997 to April 1999 – Aubry had spent a little over 324,000 francs (nearly 50,000 euros) on Scientology and had finished up heavily in debt.
He filed his complaint in September 2000, but in December 2007 wrote to withdraw it, saying he had resolved his differences with those concerned. Aubry had received a refund of some 34,000 euros.
Judge Château read extracts from a detailed 12-page letter Aubry had written in May 1998 to the Celebrity Centre Paris, complaining bitterly about the way he was being treated.
The letter, which appeared to use Scientology's own terminology against the centre's staff, denounced the centre's "suppressive" pressure and accused them of restimulating his mentale réactive – his reactive mind".
I jean-Baptiste Michaut hereby testify that Didier Michaux bookstore Manager at Celebrity Centre Paris lied in front of the Paris court of justice by stating he didn't harras Eric Aubry or made indiscreet comments on him at the centre.
Having been the scientologist who first got in contact with Eric Aubry on the French Dianetics bus tour in summer 97, I interviewed him, sold him the book and sent him to Celebrity Centre Paris (CCP) for services. Under the name of Jean Tox at the time I was a very active and known Scientologist operating as public at CCP and spokes person for the "Say no to drug" campaign of the Church of Scientology with Honarary title of L. Ron Hubbard Personal Public Relation Officer.
Eric was a neat and clever guy and I had a very good contact with him. I briefed him quite intensively on the subject of Dianetic and Scientology as he had familiarity in the field of mental and spiritual improvement undertaking trenscendental meditation at the time. He got very enlightened but stated to me he was afraid of being abused financially. I was very aware of the fact that pressure to pay was always very high in Scientology so I advised him to go to CCP and to specify he was sent there personally by me. I thought honestly that this would protect him from harrasement.
When I got back from tour a month later I found out that he had paid a lot of money for books and services up to Clear. Didier Michaux who sold him the whole package was very happy about it and from his bookstore office sold me and e-meter and some more materials for an amount of 19,000 Francs (+/- 3,000 Euros) with the 15% FSM (Fiels staff member) commission I got out from Eric Aubry's purchase. I saw Eric who was very happy and enthousiastic about it all. From a totally new public this showed great involvement and trust and everyone in the CCP were greatfull to both of us. Eric was making good progress and all went fine for a while.
But three weeks to a month later, as I got in the CCP for services, Eric came to me in shock stating that he had the day before paid much more money due to Didier Michaux urge to pay for books and material he didn't need as very well obseved by the president of the Paris court of Justice as he already had lot's of services paid for in advance and not yet delivered. This situation was putting him at great financial stress and over night he had realised he has been acting stupidely and wanted this last payement back. He was asking me for help but It was far too late as I knew that asking for refund ment that he would not be accepted on Scientology activities anymore. I felt so sorry for him and went to Didier Michaux very upset about his obvious misconduct and total violation of Church Policies. But Didier brushed me off very rudely stating that it came out in Auditing session that the reason of Eric's upsets were coming from the fact that Eric had been engaged with homosexual activities in the past. I thought that this was irrelevant. On the top of it Didier Michaut refused to pay me any commission on this new purchase stating that It wasn't of my business. For sure I would have been totally against all of this if I only had been informed about it. On this I totally fell short on my responsibility as Eric's FSM and betrayed him though he didn't inform me of the pressure he had been getting before hand from Didier Michaux who by the way stoll me as regard to the commission I would normally have gotten from his second payement. But now that the bookstore office was registerd independantly from the Church I felt there was no real stand point for me to operate from. To my big shame it all discouraged me from taking further actions to correct the situation.
I felt sorry for Eric, myself, the CCP and Scientology at large but advised him to get over it by continuing on his services that I thought was the best he could do to help him sorting things out. I was myself undertaking a big step in my Scientology commitments and thought I would have to take it up at some point and did put it all aside as I was supposed to move up to saint Hill in England for other Church activities as a Staff of the Sea Organisation. I didn't hear much about Eric after that though I spoke to him twice over the phone and he seemed pretty disafected but somehow willing to get over it. I heard later on he had filed a complaint and I decided that this wasn't of my concern anymore as Eric didn't let me know of his intentions and nobody was holding me responsible for this matter anyhow at CCP or on legal affairs that usually are dealing with these kind of matters.
In year 2000 I got back to France and really didn't want to get in a conflict with CCP having enough with my own financial duress I was getting from them. I was falling short of money myself though I had paid all I got from the inheritance of the selling of a familly flat (+/- 60,000 Euros). Still I could'nt get through my program that was originally supposed to have cost less then 10% of this amount. So I eventually got back to Saint Hill UK on a desperate state and totally broke.
As I was struggling there to get things handled for me and out of the pitfall I was in, I had to report as witness about Eric Aubry's complaint in front of the judiciary police investgators at the begining of 2001. They had found out in the accountings of Didier Michaux about the commission I got in relation to Eric Aubry's case but needed clarification on it. I had spent the whole day before intensively briefed and drilled in CCP by the office of special affairs and a lawyer of them on how not to have to state that this money was effectively a commission that would make the activity appear as commercial which as far as FSMing is concerned actually was. They didn't order me to lie which they knew I wouldn't accept as being contrary to the tenets of the Church of Scientology. They wanted me to give the investigators what they call "an acceptable truth" that somehow wouldn't give them ground to find any evidence of what they were trying to assert : Scientology not being a non-profitable activity.
Well, I got in theyr office with five of the investigators around me and for over an hour they gave me the big per the book show on how one is being nice an the other ruthless in order to pull data out of you. But you know what, I wasn't at all impressed by them and felt so convinced of the validity of my creed and practice of Scientology at the time that I managed to spin theyr heads around with my strong assertions and statements. When finally they got to the point about the commission I've been asked the question "what this money was for in relation to Eric Aubry". I stayed silent for a short while thinking : well, I did my best to avoid it but will have to tell them the truth now. But the investigator reformulated the question by asking - Did you get this commission for having brought Eric Aubry to the Celebrity Centre? and there I could answer a so affirmative NO that to my big surprise they took it for granted and let me out. This NO wasn't a lie at all. I didn't get the money for having brought the guy in. It's because he bought services while I was being his FSM that I got a commission. They could have just ask me - So what did you get this money for? and I would have had to tell exactly what they wanted to hear. So was it that they were poor investigators or because of my mental and spiritual skills that I got away with this one? I leave it for you to decide but nevertheless that's how I haven't been anymore convened as a witness on Eric Aubry's case though I had been up to my ears involved in it.

Mount Rainier accident: 5 of 6 victims ID'd, all devoted climbers
Climbing enthusiasts on tragic trek travelled from Singapore, Minnesota
The climbers who likely died on snow-capped Mount Rainier in Washington state this week travelled from as far as Singapore and Minnesota to ascend the 14,410-foot glaciated peak.
The mountain, southeast of Seattle, is popular with climbers of all abilities, but the victims in last week's climbing accident — two guides and four clients — were experienced climbers who were taking on a more technical and challenging route.
The identities of the two guides from Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International were released on its website Monday. The company and Mount Rainier National Park have refused to release other names, citing privacy issues, but family members and colleagues have released details on three other climbers.
Intel Corp. spokesman Bill Calder confirmed Monday that his colleague Uday Marty, a vice president and managing director of Intel in Southeast Asia, was among the group of climbers.
Marty, who was based in Singapore, was "widely loved and respected at this company," Calder told The Associated Press.
According to his biography on Intel's website, Marty, 40, managed sales and marketing in the region and had previously managed global notebook marketing out of the company's headquarters in Santa Clara, California. He joined the company in 1996.
"He was a guy with a great attitude, and he always had a big smile," Calder said.
Alpine Ascents identified the two guides on its website. Matthew Hegeman, the lead guide, was described as intense and philosophical with a good sense of humour. Eitan Green, the other guide, loved his time in the mountains and was a strong leader and quick to smile, the website said.
Officials at Maine's Colby College said Green was a 2009 graduate who majored in anthropology. A memorial service for the Massachusetts native is scheduled for Thursday in Levine Chapel in Brookline, Massachusetts.
The Seattle Times reported Monday that Seattle mountain climber John Mullally was one of the six who died. His wife, Holly Mullally, issued a statement Monday saying that she had previously been on climbs organized by the company.
"John was an amazing husband, father, friend, mountaineer, and all around human being," Holly Mullally wrote.
Rob Mahaney told The Associated Press that his 26-year-old nephew, Mark Mahaney, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was among those presumed dead. He said the climber's father and brother flew to Seattle on Saturday after learning what happened. Mahaney said his nephew had climbed Rainier before.
Hazardous terrain
Park rangers and rescuers often are able to retrieve bodies within days of an accident, but sometimes it takes weeks or months, when conditions have improved and snow has melted on parts of the mountain.
It's unclear whether the climbers were moving or camping at the time of the accident. Searchers located camping and climbing gear and detected signals from avalanche beacons buried in the snow at the top of the Carbon Glacier at 9,500 feet in elevation.
It's also not known what caused the climbers to fall from their last known whereabouts at 12,800 feet on Liberty Ridge — whether it was rock fall or an avalanche. They were last heard from at 6 p.m. Wednesday when the guides checked in with Alpine Ascents by satellite phone. The group failed to return Friday as planned.
More on the five identified missing climbers:
Matt Hegeman
More than 100 people commented on Alpine Ascents' Facebook page remembering the lead guide on the Mount Rainier journey, who was a resident of Truckee, California. Hegeman led climbs throughout northern California and had done extensive rock climbing throughout the state, the company said.
"Matt, intense, philosophical and driven by the right way to do things, left an indelible mark on all around him. His pursuit for excellence was matched by his sense of camaraderie and humour," the company wrote on its website.
Holly Mullally, wife of one of the victims, issued a statement to The Seattle Times on Monday saying she had climbed with Hegeman.
"I respected his leadership and found him to be experienced, skilled, appropriately conservative, thoughtful, and someone who I could count on to keep my husband safe, barring tragedy beyond our control," she wrote of the guide.
Eitan Green
He started his career as a mountain guide after receiving a degree in anthropology at Colby College in Maine, according to Alpine Ascents and the college.
Green worked at the climbing company since 2009 and climbed, trekked and guided trips all over the world, including in India, Nepal, Alaska and Argentina, the company's website said.
"Eitan, quick with a smile and exuberant, had that infectious nature of guides who love their work and time in the mountains. His talent as a strong leader and critical thinker in the wilderness was unsurpassed," Alpine Ascents officials wrote on the groups' website.
Colby College spokesman Steve Collins said the Massachusetts native graduated in 2009 and was a member of the college mountaineering club. A memorial service is scheduled for Thursday in Levine Chapel in Brookline, Massachusetts.
John Mullally
The Seattle mountain climber "died doing what he loved," according to his wife's statement to The Seattle Times.
"John was an amazing husband, father, friend, mountaineer, and all around human being," Holly Mullally wrote. "John lived to climb mountains, and had his first summit of Mount Rainier in his early 20s. Although my heart is broken, I find peace in the knowledge that he died doing what he loved."
She wrote that her husband was a "truly self-made man" who worked at Microsoft for more than 20 years, starting in the manufacturing division in his late teens, working his way up to program manager in the Windows division.
Besides his wife, John Mullally is survived by his parents, two sisters and two daughters, ages 5 and 9. Holly Mullally wrote that an educational memorial fund will be set up on their behalf.
Mark Mahaney
Even as a toddler, Mahaney had a knack for climbing. The St. Paul, Minnesota, man often tried to get out of his crib or would climb on his parents' table, said his uncle Rob Mahaney.
He said his nephew's passion for scaling things brought him to Washington state last week to attempt his second ascent of Mount Rainier.
"He loved the outdoors, he loved the exhilaration of being in the wide open," Rob Mahaney said.
The 26-year-old graduated from Prior Lake High School southwest of St. Paul and then moved to St. Paul, where he became a quality-assurance analyst for a high-tech company. He was the youngest of five children.
Uday Marty
Calder says other friends told him that Marty had climbed Rainier before. He said that Marty was "widely loved and respected at this company."
"We are most definitely mourning his loss here," Calder told The Associated Press. According to his biography on Intel's website, Marty managed sales and marketing in the region and had previously managed global notebook marketing out of Intel's headquarters in Santa Clara, California. He joined the company in 1996.
"He was a guy with a great attitude, and he always had a big smile," Calder said.

The Nikkei reports that Nintendo plans on marketing its console games through smartphone and mobile apps. Through the initiative, information about new game releases can be distributed via video and through "mini games." In many ways, it sounds like Nintendo wants to make its Nintendo Zone app available on non-Nintendo devices.
This strategy is unsurprising, especially as Nintendo's Satoru Iwata has already gone on record saying they will pursue the mobile market in some way. However, given the company's ill fortunes, that push may happen sooner rather than later. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Nikkei report translated by Serkan Toto is that the demos may give a small experience of games that can only be purchased on Nintendo hardware. "The reasoning here is to give smartphone--only players a taste of the experience without making the actual game available on non-Nintendo devices and convert these users into Nintendo customers."
More details on Nintendo's future should emerge later this week, after the company holds a briefing on Thursday.

Sousei no Aquarion: Uragiri no Tsubasa (OVA, Wings of Betrayal)
While Aquarion OVA has not been licensed yet, it is produced by MFI, therefore we won't be listing fansubs here on AnimeSuki. See Removal of Media Factory Inc. Works for details.
Since it is "restricted", the following posts are no longer allowed.
You still are allowed to discuss the anime, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story. End of edit by Mod (xris)
Production Company: ??
Genre: Mecha related comedy that makes fun of melodrama and angst so easily found in any Gundam esque show. How is this for naming Genre?
Expected Release Date: January 2007
Website: http://www.aquarion.info/
I'm not much of a fan of mecha shows, so when someone told me that I might like Aquarion, I was skeptical. My skepticism was for naught! This was a perfect show for me for exactly the reason, I don't like mecha shows. The news of a sequel makes me giddy! Wonder if the same group will be involved in subbing the sequel as well. Synopsis in the following is from the first season for those who have yet to watch it as posted in AniDB:
Holy Genesis Era. Year 0011. Mankind has lost 2/3 of its population. The Great Catastrophe, which ruined the planet 11 years ago, caused the ice of Antarctica to melt.Watch the first season if you haven't already. You don't even have to be mecha-hater to like this show.

Ooooh, yeah! I can't wait to see more Aquarion. It was an hysterical parody of all things gattai and most things mecha. Was I the one who suggested that you watch Aquarion?
Now we have to wait for some basic information, like: Is this a sequel, prequel or alternate? If it is a sequel, does it happen 1000 years later? Who are the characters? Is there any relation to the first series at all?! Since this is Aquarion they might come up with some unusual answers to those questions.

Pardon the really obvious and embarassing fangirling that follows, but lately I have totally drowned in fangirl-mode (I'm sure it's easy to guess what) and anyway, what the hell - this is the kind of show that is calling for that sort of behaviour so...
OMG! I can't wait for this, if it'll be as so incredibly fun as its predecessor! That was just LMFAO and "" and simply wonderful silliness in bucketloads. Truckloads, even. Aquarionloads.
And I'm REALLY excited to see the older versions of Apollo and Silvia I can see goosebumps...
Especially seeing some of the pictures on the official blog. You can't see anything clearly, but there is one picture with genga (key animation) papers lying around, including some yellow ones (those have been corrected by the animation director). And there's Apollo and Silvia on them. Apollo looks so cool and grown-up, and Silvia looks great with that long hair. And I'm sure you can see their pose in the small version of that poster....
I'm really looking forward to this Let's hope it'll be another show of (edit: Satelight's) power since I think the staff there enjoyed it tremendously...

I liked Aquarion. For all it's intent and purposes, it really delivers it's intentionally fun parts well without being drowned into bad story-telling and character development, even if some of them are a bit of the cliche side....What the hell am I talking about, it's awesome because it IS hysterically cliche.
Frankly, it would be totally freakin awesome if this series gets it's art direction totally revamped into a more artisticly mute, water-brush feel. Though judging from the pic above, it seems like they're retaining the original feel. Not it's bad, mind anyone.
wao-dono....what do you mean by Sunrise's power? Unless my mind is skewed with a fork recently, I don't think Sunrise had anything to do with Aquarion. at. all.

Absolutely sorry. I'm sorry, that was a really stupid miss on my part. Satelight's power is what I meant to say. (Look at me, way too much Iroha... -___-)
I get the feeling Satelight can do amazing wonders only if it wants to (Macross Zero, Aquarion, Noein) - and part of that includes the capability of hte director. The director just needs to be able to get teh right people together, and Satelight's production can actually bring their various talents together very well, since they are receptive to a great amount of styles. And from what I saw in the three shows I mentioned there, they can be pretty damn amazing when it comes to putting digital effects, 2D and 3D animation all together into one beautiful film. Especially end of Noein episode 7 - that was just gobsmacking beautiful!
EDIT: Regarding art styles, I would be flipping over in delight if they adopted the style of illustrations that the original character designer, Eiji Kaneda, uses... I love the artwork for Aquarion I've seen from him in various places; at the very least it would be nice if we got some designs or even just one episode with that sort of taste.

I think that the series would have done without the comic fillers that were episode 17, 18, and 19.
The last arc started at episode 20 until the end of the series.
I'm not complaining that the first Aquarion was either bad or mediocre. Quite on the contrary, I enjoyed it very much.
It's just that it would have been better had the staff introduced the last arc from episode 17.
I just wonder what kind of connection the second Aquarion will follow from the first one in terms of the storyline.

No way! I loved those episodes. Particularly the one where they were each roleplaying a different character, can't remember the episode number but I thought it was hilarious. I'd hate to have seen those episodes removed/not created at all. Maybe come to some compromise like make them DVD only episodes or something.

Anyway... is this new Aquarion a sequel? A prequel? Is it going to be a movie, a tv serie or what? I'm kinda lacking informations on this side.

Squinting at that small poster it looks as if it's a grown up version of Apollo and Silvia. But I'm wondering how that connects to the end of the first season (or maybe they'll just not give a damn about it )
Although it's possible they'll go into Apollonius and Celiane's story since it's more relevant to the title: "Uragiri no Tsubasa" (Wings of Betrayal)...
But when I see that pic on the official blog with those genga papers, it looks more like Silvia than anything. Unless it's Celiane before she had a haircut.

(MCT) — SURPRISE, Ariz. — Ranging behind second base to field a grounder and throw quickly in one smooth motion, Carlos Sanchez looks as polished as any of the White Sox's infielders.
"That's what we tend to forget, that he's only 20 years old," said Joe McEwing, the Sox coach who works with the infielders. "I think back at 20 years old to where we were, and to be in Triple A at 20 and be knocking on the door and possibly playing in the big leagues at 20 is very special.
"All the credit to him and the work that he's put in, and he's proved it at every level and continuing to play the game the right way."
After leaping from Class A to Triple A last season, Sanchez probably will start 2013 at Triple-A Charlotte, where he hit .256 in 11 games in August.
Sanchez gained a second wind in the Arizona Fall League, batting .299 with a league-leading 11 stolen bases — one more than speed-burning Reds prospect Billy Hamilton.
The biggest challenge for Sanchez will be continuing his progress and maintaining his patience as the Sox and their followers watch whether Gordon Beckham finally will break out of his three-year malaise or cause the Sox to opt for Sanchez.
"Those things are out of my hands," said Sanchez, a switch hitter with a .299 average in four minor league seasons. "The things I can do are hit, run, steal bases and field. From there, the team is going to make a decision on where I best fit, but the team will make the best decision. Those are decisions I don't want to think about."
Sanchez, who signed out of Venezuela as a shortstop, has enhanced his value by making a smooth transition to second base and still is considered an above-average shortstop.
"It seems like he's always in the right place," said Nick Capra, the Sox's director of player development. "He ranges well to both sides, turns the double play well. He's a solid, solid player."
Sanchez hasn't shown any trepidation in his first major league camp as he frequently arrives early for work. His only struggles surface when asked whether he would rather make the opening-day roster as a reserve or go to the minors until he's promoted as a starter.
"If they want me as a backup and think I can contribute that way, I'll do that for the team," Sanchez said. "If they want me in the minors, I'll do that, of course. My dream is to reach the big leagues, and that decision is up to the team."

Reds By The Numbers
Numbers say Dunn, Griffey should go
Seven straight losing seasons and a bad start have made Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn lightning rods with Reds fans, most of whom want them gone - regardless of what can be had in return. The numbers so far are with the fans.
Here is how the Reds position players rank in OPS (on base percentage plus slugging percentage) among the position players of the 16 teams in the National League:
C - 6th (Paul Bako will revert to the back of his bubblegum card soon enough; for now, he's Ernie Lombardi).
1B - 6th (Lower than we'd have thought, but Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman and Derrek Lee are a tough crowd).
2B - 6th (Brandon Phillips still isn't good at getting on base, but he can really slug it).
SS - 5th (Oh, are the Reds ever going to miss Jeff Keppinger ).
3B - 6th (Edwin Encarnacion still has the most upside of any Reds hitter).
LF - 9th (Earlier this week, Dunn got some talk-show points for hitting a sacrifice-fly on a pitch outside the zone, but it's going to take a lot more than that).
CF - 8th (Thanks to Ryan Freel ).
RF - 14th (Ken Griffey Jr. figures to move up in the rankings - he always "comes around" - but FIRST let him get hot, THEN move him into the 3-hole).
Pinch-hitters - 12th.
Not just cattle need range: Last year, Griffey Jr. got to nine FEWER fly-ball outs than the average major league right-fielder based on his chances. This year, he's already about five below average (second-worst among all MLB right fielders) and there's still three-fourths of the season to go.
Dunn's range is improving, 1.5 fewer fly-ball outs; making him 20th of 28 left fielders with more than 150 innings; last year, he got to 15 fewer fly balls than his fellow left fielders.
The Reds should be entertaining all offers for Griffey - even before he hits his 600th home run. With Jay Bruce tearing up Triple-A, the Reds have plenty of firepower to replace Griffey. It will be bittersweet to see him hit "600" elsewhere, but turning around this franchise will take some tough decisions from management. What better time to start making them than now?
Reds management lacks the requisite ruthlessness to deal aging veterans to make room for younger players. Take a page from former Reds general manager Bob Howsam who was all for putting fans in the seats, but knew the best way to draw is through winning - and traded Tony Perez, 36, after the Reds title in 1976 to make room for Dan Driessen.
With men on base, Dunn has 22 fewer plate appearances than Phillips, is hitting 86 points lower, slugging 52 points lower, and has the same number of HRs (3) - yet has 1 more RBI in those situations ... Is Dunn a witch?
Jay Bruce still isn't close to the on-base average of plus-65 points over batting average the Reds want ... but he's edging up.
With his .366 batting average, .398 on-base average and .662 slugging percentage, Bruce will be here within a few weeks, when he won't trigger an early arbitration date and cost the Reds millions more.
Still, there there isn't a "Bruce" alive or dead - not Lenny, not Willis and not Hornsby (unless it's Rogers) - who can put this moribund Reds offense over the top. The Reds are 12th in the NL in runs scored.
The numbers don't support concerns that the Reds would be weakened at shortstop AND second base by moving Phillips. In the minors he played 356 games at SS (.950 fielding percentage), compared to Jerry Hairston's 34 (.921) - and Hairston doesn't have a shortstop's arm. Going into this season, Phillips had played five big league games at SS, Hairston six. Why are the Reds using a lesser fielder at arguably the most important defensive position?
The average 2B who moves to SS makes about six fewer plays per year than the average SS. But Phillips made about 15 MORE plays last year than the average 2B (among the NL's best), so at worst he figures to be average at SS. The Reds need the offense with Phillips at SS and Freel at 2B, when he's not in the outfield.
Phillips THINKS he can hit anything, but the numbers say no. He swings at 33 percent of the pitches he sees that are out of the strike zone. That's the 13th highest rate in the bigs.
Swinging at pitches out of the zone isn't all bad. But No. 1 bad-baller Vlad Guerrero makes contact on 66 percent of those pitches; Phillips makes contact on 47.
Even a bad-ball hitter has to be realistic about just how bad a ball he can put a crushing on.
Johnny Cueto is getting killed on pitches up in the zone - hitters have a .667 slugging percentage against him there (compared to a .394 slugging percentage down). We agree with Dusty Baker that Cueto should let the catcher call the game and focus on putting his stuff where not even the best big leaguers can hit it.
Did you know that even though Bronson Arroyo 's ERA is 6.08, his strikeout rate (8 K's per nine innings) is well above his career norms (6.2/9)? His ground ball rate is almost exactly where it was last year. His walk rate is up a bit this year, but not enough to explain his struggles.
So what gives? This year, batters have a .342 adjusted batting average against Arroyo on balls in play, compared to a .285 average the previous three years. And why are hitters batting 57 points higher? Probably just bad luck. Pitchers have very little control over batting average on balls in play. Hang with Arroyo; he'll turn it around.

Wedding… How many hopes, smiling faces and expectations are at the bottom of this event! You can infrequently discover a female who wouldn't dream of becoming a bride a few day; of path, it is probably a difficulty to discover a man who wouldn't desire to make satisfied his loved girl. In anticipation of the big day it's always a clever concept to create a corresponding mood with the aid of decorating a house and installing wallpapers on weddings topic.
Ring puzzle, hearts puzzle, clicking of glasses, oath of loyalty, gentle bouquets, and sumptuous dinner party are all attributes of the engagement.

We've profiled the California Automobile Museum in downtown Sacramento via the pages of Hemmings Motor News, and jumped right on it when their staff sent us an update on their activities. And if one was ever appropriate for California, this one's it.
The museum just uncorked its salute to Volkswagen, which became a talisman of the California lifestyle through the Beetle, the surfer-friendly van and you name it. WUNDERCARS, as the display is dubbed, runs through May 12. For more information, visit CalAutoMuseum.org, daddy-o.
Love the green military version with the canvas doors! Bet that wouldn't pass a safety inspection these days.
Thanks for the write up! We are so excited for this exhibit and are having the best time with it. We owe a huge favor to NorCal Vdubs for putting on a successful car show that was placed outside the Museum on this same day. It made our opening weekend a large spectacle and we are grateful for the support- nearly 500 people arrived for the show and exhibit.
Also, we would like to thank Sacramento for being a wonderful city packed full of cultural enthusiasts. We thrive from the support of our visitors and sponsors.
We look forward to keeping you updated on events at the Museum. Thanks for the support Jim!

Talked to the owner of the green VW pictured and discovered that it was a beetle with a chopped off top and doors removed, high and low sirens added at front bumper, red light spot at drivers' side, and was used as police car in Germany. I forget who did this conversion. The black and cream colored roadster in top photo was done by same craftsman. Both are very rare vehicles. Thanks for the coverage.
NORCALVDUBS would like to thank the California Automobile Museum for helping in get our first ever VW INVASION CAR SHOW. It was a blast. We had well over 100 classic aircooled VWs on show like Bugs, Square Back, Fast Back, Buses, Transporters, Bajas, Dune Buggies,Drag Bugs, Campers, Karmann Ghia and Customs of all types, a vendor row, swap meet alley and classic VWs for sale. Well the public were enjoying the sites they where treated to music, food and a raffle full of great prizes. I would like to also thank
NORCALVDUBS.COM for being involved in the show. Without them it would not be possible. We are looking forward to see everyone at next year VW INVASION at the CALIFORNIA AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM as it will be bigger and better
