Have you filed your taxes yet?
OK – the last minute has arrived! Well, maybe not, as tax day isn't until tomorrow, so many of you probably you feel you have tons of time as you don't have to have your income tax returns postmarked until tomorrow night at midnight.
Hopefully you've already filed and received a refund. For those of you who waited until the last minute, you can check out our taxes web guide in our Finance Channel for some resources that can help you out. This process can be much easier if you do a little research or get some help.
It's probably too late to dump a pile of records on the lap of some poor accountant or financial planner unless you're prepared to pay big bucks, but you can invest in some tax preparation software to make these last hours a little easier. This recent New York Times article compares TurboTax and H&R Block at Home, and either one should be a solid choice. Good luck!

And that being said (read actually), I know this subject has been hashed out over and over but to lay my foundation for counting , what should be my base system to start with, so I can build evreything off that? Six deck shoes 95% of the time. If that matters at all. Is the time I need to invest worth the reward? Its just that I read all these posts about good counters that get hammered. Dont misunderstand me. I understand varience. so you can get a 2%advantage mabye. I think to become profecient I'll need what a solid year of work before it will really payoff, correct? Is that 2% going to reap 2000$ a month or so playing consistintly. shytown

shytown said:hello evreybody, I want to thank evreybody for this forum . Ive been a lurker (guest) for quite a while. Very informative reading . I'm getting serious about playing lately . there is only two casinos within 40 miles of me so I usually play at harrahs or empress. they are decent, stand on soft 17 good splits and double rules. Ive have BS strategy well in hand. From the extensive post reading I've been doing , I gather in the long run without advantage play of some kind. I will be a loser. My question, what I have been doing is this When I get off to a good start , things go fine and I am not greedy or try not to be, with good money management, I ride the streak out. 10-15$ tables). when things turn I quit immedetly, and walk with profit. Usually between 20- 130 $ profit. If I loose 4 hands in a row i leave witch minamizes my down side. doing this at least in the short turn 2-3 months. 3 times weekly. I am on the plus side. To you senior members,or anybody very experienced. Does this sound like a good strategy. shy town

Runeberg's Cake
It has become something of a tradition that I bake a Runeberg's Cake at this time of the year (see my previous versions here and here). Again this cake isn't something I liked growing up; the bitter almond taste was probably not sweet enough for a child's taste buds, but I've grown to appreciate the taste and texture of Runeberg's cake. I must admit, I don't bake much nowadays, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to enjoy this cake once again.
Runeberg's Cake*
(recipe adapted from Kotiliesi)
1 teaspoon baking powder
130g plain flour
200ml melted butter
150g raw caster sugar
2 eggs
120g finely crumbed gingerbread cookies
100g almond meal
100ml milk
raspberry jam
60g icing sugar
1 tablespoon water
* You can moisturise the cake after baking with some water and liquor, if you like.
1. Preheat the oven to 200C, grease a loaf tin and line it with baking paper.
2. Mix baking powder with the flour and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar. Add eggs, one by one, beating well after each addition.
4. Mix in the cookie crumb and almond meal. Add flour mixture and milk and stir until smooth.
5. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin, then turn (upside down) onto a wire rack. Mix icing sugar with water into a smooth paste. Once cooled, decorate with raspberry jam and icing sugar.

Most CompactFlash cards by default identify themselves as removable media instead of fixed disk. Which is fine for Linux, but not for Windows.If you have to use a CF card that has the type bits set to Removable and want to install Windows XP you can work around it as follows; Use Linux to partition the drive with a FAT32 partition (you can boot from one of the LiveCD/LiveUSB distributions for this), and set the partition bootable. Start the install of Windows, during install you will be given the opportunity to migrate to NTFS After the install is finished you will need to install the Hitachi microdrive disk drivers (google for XPfildrvr1224.zip), which will mask the removable bits and should allow suspend and other operations that fail on a removable drive to work.

text: Is the O'fest auto-x scoring going to be done the same this year as it was last year? Most auto-x's, 'cca or otherwise, that I have participated in, used the time of your best run to determine your position in class. Last year they used a method of averaging all run times to determine driver's position. I would argue this method is less fair to any competitors who auto-x infrequently or perhaps once a year at O'fest, and give an unfair advantage to participants who auto-x regularly. Someone who auto-x's more often is going to be more practiced, and is far more likely to be able to do consistent runs, yielding a much higher average score, than others that might get a good run time but end up with throwaway runs due to lack of practice or inexperience. The skilled AND practiced regular auto-x participants are going to have enough of an advantage as it is, imo. I could understand if there was a concern where competitors doing sluff-runs might give some kind of unfair advantage, but that would only seem plausible in a scenario where competitors get multiple runs to actually get practiced at the course, in-car, which would be beyond the usual 3-4 timed runs, maybe more like 6+ times. I've always thought that auto-x traditionally was about getting the best time, and managing the few runs and walk-through time that you have in whatever fashion you wish to attempt to achieve that. I can see wanting participants to push themselves to get the best run times possible for each run, but since the competition is based on achieving the lowest course-run time, there is no disincentive to go as quickly as one can manage. Averaging run times for best time makes competing more difficult, as one can't afford not to push as hard as possible every run; more typically, you'd use at least one run at something less than attempting 10-10th's to figure out the course, layout, gears, shifting, braking points, car position, etc. As a side note, consistency across run-times reminds me of doing a joint auto-x w/ the Mercedes club 20 years ago. At least around here, they didn't race against the clock, they did regularity runs (I always found that terminology amusing), where the point was not to complete the course in the least time, but to _match_ run times - so they would run the course as slowly as possible trying to maintain a constant speed, and the bimmers were squealin' around the cones as usual - most of us thought the 'regularity runs' didn't look like any fun at all! One other point for the O'fest auto-x - last year the course workers had bright ORANGE (ie, cone-colored) 5-gal. buckets to hold the flags. Just about any other color would be preferable, as that made the course more visually confusing, plus the possibility of mistakenly focusing on a bucket as if it were a course cone (ask me how I know). Besides the dnf, there were several wide-eyed course workers getting ready to scatter as I made a beeline for the bucket with them standing beside it, at least before their frantic waving got me to realize the bright-orange, cone-height thing I was focusing on wasn't a cone!

Serial Communications with ActiveX
In this article, we show a simple example to send and receive data through the serial port. In what concerns data reception, we use an event driven mechanism. An event is generated and transmitted to our program when a character arrives on the serial port. The MSComm control uses the OnComm event to trap and handle communications events. We check the event type; if it is a "receive event," we retrieve data from the serial input buffer and display it in a text box.
Follow these steps to make a sample of serial communication under Visual C++:
- Select a "new" project from the "File" menu. Name the project "Serial".
- Under the "Projects" tab, select "MFC App Wizard" and click "OK".
- In the first step, select "Single Document" instead of "Multiple Documents".
- In the second step, click "Next".
- In the third step, make sure that "ActiveX Controls" is checked.
- In the fourth and fifth steps, click "Next".
- In the sixth step, change the base class of "CserrView" to "CFormView".
- Select "IDD_Serial_Form" under "Dialog" on the "Resources View" tab. Create two EditBoxes: one for sending data and the other for viewing received data. Make one button to confirm a send of data; change its caption to "Send".
- Next, you must add the ActiveX control. Go to the "Project" menu and select "Add To Project"; then select "Components And Controls". Next, find the "Microsoft Communications Control, version 6.0" in "Registered ActiveX Controls" and click the "Insert" button; then click "OK". At the end, click the "Close" button.
- Now, you must associate several variables for each control. Select "Class Wizard" in the "View" menu. On the "Member Variables" tab, you see all the controls IDs you have placed on the form. For each control, associate one variable by selecting the control and clicking "Add variable".
- With the "class Wizard", you must add two messages: one for the "send" button and the other for the MSComm event "OnComm". To do this, select the MSComm object ID. On the right, you see "OnComm" messages. Click to "Add Function", and repeat this step for "IDC_Button1".
Com Initialization
Before you send or receive data on the serial port, you should initialize it. You can make that in the code or directly by clicking the right button on the MSComm Control and selecting "Properties MSComm Object".
For more information about InputLen, InputMode, and RThreshold, you should see the help file "comm98.chm".
void CSerialView::OnInitialUpdate()
// COM Port Initialization
m_comm.SetCommPort(1); // Com 1
Sending Data
You must begin by updating the data variable from the edit box. Next, you convert data to "Variant"; you can do that by calling the "COLeVariant" class that encapsulates the "Variant" structure.
void CSerialView::OnButton1()
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
Receiving Data
"GetCommEvent()" permits us to know the event type, if it is equal to 2; it is concern a data arrival in serial port. To retrieve the data from a serial buffer, you must call the GetInput() method, which returns a Variant object. The next step consists of extracting a string from a Variant structure.
void CSerialView::OnOnCommMscomm1()
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
if (m_comm.GetCommEvent()==2 )
VARIANT in_dat;
in_dat = m_comm.GetInput();
CString strInput(in_dat.bstrVal);
m_input = m_input + strInput;

SARS 10 years on: Is travel industry prepared for next epidemic?
By Ramy Inocencio, for CNN • Updated 22nd February 2013
In the 2011 suspense movie "Contagion," Gwyneth Paltrow's globe-trotting character dies from a virus that stirred up our memories -- and fears -- of SARS, the respiratory epidemic from China that killed several hundred people around the world in 2003.
Paltrow played Patient Zero, a woman who travels through Hong Kong -- where we were treated to scenes of Kowloon, by some accounts the densest concentration of human life on the planet -- from where she boards a plane and subsequently spreads the deadly virus around the world.
While the movie was fiction, SARS was very real. It made us feel nervous, vulnerable and afraid.
But it also made us learn.
Exactly one decade after SARS hit, is the travel world ready if a similar epidemic -- a SARS 2.0 -- were to break out?
Experts in the aviation, hotel and health industries agree we're now much better prepared than before to deal with such a potential calamity.
CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports on a mysterious disease that doctors are quickly trying to identify and treat.
CNN's Elizabeth Cohen on the spread of the coronavirus in the United Kingdom, a potentially fatal SARS-like virus.
But some still prefer to avoid publicly addressing the issue.
Here are five of the most important lessons we've learned about handling global epidemics, ten years on.
1. SARS helped the world realize we needed a global plan
"The most important change has been the adoption of the International Health Regulations in 2005," says Dr. Isabelle Nuttall, World Health Organization Director for the Global Capacities Alert and Response Department in Geneva, Switzerland.
The IHR
, as Nuttall describes, is basically one massive global plan that maps an emergency response effort if a health emergency -- such as SARS -- strikes. At present, 194 states and territories have signed the legally binding agreement.
Ten years ago, a plan like this simply didn't exist.
"During SARS everything had to be invented," says Nuttall. "It was the first time we were dealing with such a disease, such an international threat. We had to mount new networks of clinicians and laboratories."
And there was no obligation to report anything quickly -- as the world learned from a secretive China in April 2003.
On one Saturday that month, health authorities in Beijing claimed just 37 confirmed SARS cases existed in the capital. One day later,
Beijing revealed 346 confirmed cases with another 402 suspected
The international community condemned China for withholding vital information.
Ten years later, the IHR now gives the World Health Organization "probing powers" into any signatory country to check in and make sure everything is okay. Countries are legally bound to report all they know.

2. SARS helped us be more alert with technology and training
While NORAD, North American Aerospace Defense Command, tracks airspace over the United States and Canada for potential threats, the World Health Organization boasts its own global watch system for brewing health crises.
Like a global plan, the capability for high-tech tracking also didn't exist ten years ago.
"We now have a system that is constantly screening the web 24/7 for information and rumors," says the WHO's Nuttal. "We analyze them -- and some turn out to be false. However, every single piece of information is touching our attention and bringing the information to a team of people."
While the World Health Organization has an army of 8,000 health and safety officials, the Kowloon Shangri-La in Hong Kong has an 800-person trained team of employees that both welcome and watch hotel guests.
"We always want to be alert, but we certainly don't want to be alarming," says Linda Wan, resident manager at the Kowloon Shangri-La.
The 20-year industry veteran, who moved from the United States to Hong Kong last year, has an old 2003 emergency SARS manual sitting on her desk. That has evolved into a general emergency response manual that the Shangri-La uses to train staff.
Employees are taught to sanitize public areas -- elevator buttons, escalator rails, door knobs and restroom doors -- every hour or based on foot traffic frequency.
In guest rooms, housekeeping disinfects frequently touched items with special focus on remote controls, light switches and bathrooms.
"If a guest is ill we may refer them to a nearby clinic and notify proper authorities of any heightened concern," says Wan.
Even before hotel guests check in, thermal imaging technology at major airports serves as an earlier field of defense against visitors arriving with a fever.
The closer your image is to the red side of the visible light spectrum, the warmer you are. Too warm and you get a visit to the quarantine room for questioning and a potential sick bed.
3. SARS taught us to appreciate breathing in deeply
You board your plane, amble down the aisle, spot your seat and then ... mentally cringe: your red-nosed neighbor for the next several hours is coughing and sneezing into already-moist tissues.
If air purity is a factor in which airplane you fly, the Boeing Dreamliner (
battery problems notwithstanding
) is best, according to Tom Ballantyne, the Sydney-based chief correspondent for Orient Aviation.
The two-decade aviation expert says the Dreamliner's technologically advanced systems mean its air is the best-filtered in the skies.
Another benefit of the state of the art system is a difference in cabin pressure. While other airplanes are pressurized at about 8,000 feet in altitude, the new Dreamliners are pressurized at 5,000 feet, "so it's a much more pleasant atmosphere."
Higher humidity levels also keep that dry cottonmouth feeling at bay.
The newer Boeing 777's and the latest versions of the Airbus A350 and A320 Neo also have well filtered air, adds Ballantyne.
"As newer models come out, their internal air purification systems are more advanced."
But the 747-400 sits on the opposite end of the clean air spectrum because it's "a relatively elderly aircraft" that's been in operation for nearly three decades, says Ballantyne.
Singapore Airlines retired its last 747 passenger jet
in April 2012, Hong Kong-based
Cathay Pacific still has 18
in its fleet,
United Continental operates 23
and British Airways boasts to be
"the world's largest operator of the Boeing 747-400"
-- with 57 aircraft.

4. SARS taught airlines to be financially more resilient
Between 2001 and 2005, an average of more than one major U.S. airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection each year:
US Airways
(2002) ,
United Airlines
(2002) , US Airways
(2004) and both Northwest Airlines (2005) and Delta (2005)
on the same day
in a coincidence in timing.
But from 2006 onward, just one major U.S. airline filed for bankruptcy protection -- American Airlines in 2011.
The reason is that catastrophic events, such as 9/11 and SARS, taught airlines an important lesson.
When people stopped flying, "airlines recognized the thing that gets them into real trouble is running out of cash," says Paul Sheridan, head of consultancy Asia at Hong Kong-based Ascend. Airlines learned to "make sure they have enough cash flow" to weather turbulent times.
"Over the last five years, we've seen oil prices hit 150 bucks a barrel, swine flu and a
volcanic ash cloud
" that all impacted air passenger numbers, says Sheridan.
"The industry has had plenty of practice and (now keeps) more cash on hand. It's a pretty wide range for liquidity, but perhaps it's 10 percent of revenue, maybe a bit higher."
If it hadn't been for 9/11 and SARS, "a lot of airlines would have been bankrupt now if you threw the same issues over the last five years at them."
5. SARS -- and other big, bad diseases -
still scare us
Sometimes what we learn isn't through what is said, but through what is not.
Although SARS occurred a decade ago, an inordinate number of people and businesses declined comment for this article -- including all four international airports in the SARS hub cities of Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore and Toronto.
"The responsible person has a very full schedule recently -- sorry," texted Hong Kong Airport Authority spokeswoman Chris Lam.
"This is something that we'd rather not revisit at this point in time," e-mailed Robin Goh, assistant vice president of corporate communications at Singapore's Changi Airport Group.
Beijing Capital Airport authorities told CNN it would take "several days to look at an application" for an interview after having been closed the entire week prior for Chinese New Year.
Toronto Pearson never replied to e-mailed interview requests.
"I don't know why (they would not talk) to tell you the truth," said Ballantyne of Orient Aviation. "I could understand the trouble with Beijing and bureaucracy, but I would have expected Singapore and Hong Kong to be willing to talk about it. You fly to Singapore and you can still see the signs and huge thermal imaging cameras. I'd be happy to say 'We've got these things.'"
In the hotel industry, similar caution appeared to exist.
Hong Kong's Kowloon Metropark (formerly the Metropole), the
Hong Kong hotel that had the first reported SARS case in the city
, declined an interview request.
"I'm sorry we do not want to put out any comments on the SARS issue because we want to look forward," said Anita Kwan, public relations manager at the Metropark Hotel in Kowloon. "I have spoken to the boss."
The Hong Kong Four Seasons, arguably the city's top hotel, also declined to discuss any precautions and response procedures it had in place.
"Feburary is our peak season and we are too busy to arrange any interview at this moment," said Angela Wong, the Four Seasons public relations manager.
And international airlines including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Emirates Airlines all either stopped communicating, only released statements or declined interview requests through their public relations agency.
The lessons learned 10 years later? We have a global response plan and advanced technology for disease tracking. And we have better training for hygiene and healthier airline financial strategies.
Yet while we're much better prepared, SARS still scares us ... sometimes into silence.

TBWA/Hunt/Lascaris – We Sent Their Briefs Back
Although TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris is well established as an above-the-line agency, our clients were yet to be introduced to the wealth of talent that TBWA\ Design has to offer. So, to get our clients' attention, we intercepted existing above-the-line briefs and used the physical advertising brief as our canvas. Instead of answering the brief in a traditional manner, we conceptualized various designs that captured the essence of the brands, then brought them to life using only the cardboard job bags and the briefs that were attached to them. We created intricate pieces of paper art, transforming our client's briefs into multi-dimensional design pieces. We then sent our clients' briefs back to them, proving that TBWA\ Design can do amazing things with their briefs. Our campaign was a huge success. The design studio received their first new brief from our client just 5 days later. Even more notably, new design work in the system rose by 450% within the first 6 weeks.

Marionnaud – Memory Game
Marionnaud, one of Europe's largest perfume retailers, celebrated "10 years' expertise in fragrance". For the jubilee we created a very special staff incentive: the first Memory game without pictures. The cards had been finished with a fragrance coating. When rubbed, the cards released the scent of ingredients used in perfume manufacture. Rub and sniff: that was the only way to identify the pairs – but no problem for Marionnaud professionals.

Heineken – First Interactive Bottle
Heineken embraces the start-up culture of experimentation because it knows that invention never sleeps. The brand understands that the best 'user experiences' tap into existing consumer behaviors and push technology into the background.
The intent of the Heineken Ignite project was to develop an idea that would create a memorable Heineken experience unlocking the power and possibilities of mobile innovation and technology.
Heineken believes that mobile innovation could offer a much more rewarding experience than just an app and embraced the challenge to think about how the product could be leveraged as an interface to the brand experience.
A prototype of Heineken Ignite will be revealed on 9 April at Milan Design Week as part of Heineken's Lounge of the Future concept. Heineken takes its promise to "open your world" even further with the Heineken Ignite project, enhancing the organic way in which the product is used based on social interaction between beer drinkers. This innovative approach lets people be a part of the party in a whole new way and opens up possibilities in social situations.

3M Earplugs – Volume Pack
The task was to develop an original promotional packaging solution that immediately conveyed the product value of 3M's Solar Earplugs – a product targeted at end users frequently requiring effective noise protection (such as musicians and festival-goers). Solution: 3M turned the purpose of the earplugs – to reduce noise – into an original package design. The container's cap looks like the volume knob of a hi-fi system; when opening it to reach the earplugs, one seems to be turning down the volume.

Deutsche Bank – Anamorphic Mirror
Brief Explanation
The vestibule is a narrow room of 25sqm strongly limiting the possible size of the installation. Therefore, we decided to utilise light for a radiant impact, and to expand the process of reception by making use of the visitors' movement while approaching the area via a short staircase. Going upstairs becomes part of the experience as visitors gain increasing insights to the entry with the installation. Its concept is based on the principle of anamorphosis: what you see alters as you change your position in space. The image only fully resolves itself when seen from a particular 'sweet spot'.
Describe the brief from the client
The redesigned corporate headquarters of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt am Main are now housing a brand and conference area. Parts of this section are public and can be accessed directly from the spacious atrium via a staircase. Deutsche Bank commissioned us to develop an installation that references the well-known company logo, originally designed by Anton Stankowski, for the vestibule of this area. The brief was to provide an atmospheric element that would be visible to customers, visitors and employees standing at reception, as well as on the bridge connecting the building's 2 towers.
Description of how you arrived at the final design
'Anamorphic Mirror' consists of a faceted mirror and blue light projected onto the opposite wall. When viewed from the 'sweet spot' the mirror reflects the Bank's logo. Standing at the bottom of the stairs, visitors see seemingly random blue reflections on the mirror's facets. As they get closer, the blue reflections begin to take shape, until they resolve into the bank's logo upon the visitors' reaching the stairs' top. In this manner, an animation is created from a static surface. While getting even closer to entering the conference area, visitors are themselves reflected in the mirror and thus take centre stage.
Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market:
Since the opening on April 6 more than 20,000 visitors came to see the public part of the brand area. Board members use the overall facilities to hold receptions, functions such as HR are using it for employee activities, bank managers invite partners and clients, the press department welcomes journalists. With unobtrusive means, the dynamic and yet poetic installation 'Anamorphic Mirror' creates an atmospheric element with space-encompassing impact, and attunes visitors to the brand from the very beginning.

Land Rover – Edible Survival Guide
While Land Rover vehicles can take on any obstacles in the desert, it cannot be said the same of their owners. Scorching temperatures, deadly animals and sinkholes are just a few things they might encounter. And when they venture deep into it, even the most experienced drivers can quickly succumb to the harshness of the desert. We wanted to create something that would cut through the clutter and that these people would like to keep. So we created a survival guide, which explained the basics for staying alive in the Arabian Desert, and packaged it in a way that would spur the attention of our target audience.
We researched every indigenous animal and plant, people could encounter in the Arabian Desert and how they could be used to survive. We studied the topography of the region to guide people to safety. We used a reflective packaging similar to army rations, which could be used to signal for help, and bound the book with a metal spiral, which could be used for cooking. Finally, we even took an extra step so that in case of emergency, people could always EAT the book. It was made out of edible ink and paper, and it had a nutritional value close to that of a cheeseburger.
We sent the book to 5,000 existing customers, gave it away as a supplement to the cars' manual and made it freely available in sports shops. The initial response was very positive. And the client was so happy with the concept that they asked us to include the book as an insert in the next edition of a car magazine, with a 70,000 circulation.

Carbon/glass-fibre composite construction + duraluminium hub, 2-blade configuration, right rotation, ground adjustable pitch.
Ground adjustable P-LINE propellers are designed for applications such as powered paragliders, trikes, light motor hang-gliders and airboats with variety of engines with power output limit up to 44 kW(60 HP) (dependent on propeller model) and reduction gears mostly in pusher arrangement. P-LINE propellers are available in 2 or 3-blade configuration.
P-LINE propellers are very efficient which gives an advantage of high thrust and low noise during running. They are lightweight also, thanks to modern technologies used in production process which is resulting in very low inertia momentum, meaning high manoeuvrability for the pilot and quick throttle response.
The biggest benefit of P-LINE propellers is ability to adjust blade pitch, enabling the pilot to adjust characteristic of the propeller to his likings, actual weather conditions or engine parameters.
Construction & technology
Technological design of P-LINE propellers is based on hybrid carbon/glass fibre or full carbon fibre structure (dependent on propeller model) with increased elasticity module and epoxy resin. Materials used in construction have elastic properties which make the propellers damage and bad weather conditions resistant. The paint that covers blades guarantees high contamination resistance and slow exploitation wear.
The hub is lightweight, high strength two piece construction that enables ground blade adjustments. It is rust protected by anodized layer. Hub production uses best sort of duraluminium 7075 and high precision CNC machining.
Duraluminium 7075 material, anti-rust protection (anodizing)
Dimensions: centre hole ø25,4 mm (1"), mounting holes 6x ø6 mm, on diameter ø50 mm

"NASCAR Now" Sunday Morning Will Tell The Tale
This morning at 10AM Eastern Time ESPN2 will carry the one hour Sunday preview version of NASCAR Now. This will be the first glimpse for TV viewers of conditions at the track, and a hint of what will happen with the racing.
With the late night east coast TV work by the NASCAR on ESPN crew, it should be interesting to see what on-air personalities are on NASCAR Now today.
Ryan Burr continues to be the co-host from the ESPN Studios, with Nicole Manske traveling to the current races. Allen Bestwick, Brady Daugherty, Ray Evernham and Rusty Wallace are also featured on this program.
The show has plenty of reporters to choose from, and we know Marty Smith and Angelique Chengelis are both on-scene in California. There should be lots of interesting news coming out of the track with all these potential schedule changes continuing because of weather.
NASCAR Now has one hour to fill with only one race having taken place instead of two. It should be interesting to see how much Sprint Cup preview viewers get and how the network will approach setting-up the Nationwide race which does not have a firm on-air time and has not yet been officially assigned an ESPN network.
Update: ESPN has confirmed that ESPN2 will show the Nationwide Series race, tentatively scheduled for 9PM Eastern Time. This throws a wrench into the NHRA coverage that will be in-progress of the final rounds. Rain may play a role in both telecasts, stay tuned.
This page will serve to host your comments about the AM edition of NASCAR Now. To add your opinion, just click on the COMMENTS button below and follow the easy instructions. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by.

Very disappointed that Ryan and NN only showed a glimpse of a tiny part of the track (lots of water) at the beginning and didn't pan across a large area or over the whole track to let us see the conditions.
Other than a graphic over that shot that said race day forecast of 57 degrees and showers, weather talk or an update on track conditions was nonexistent in the first half hour, other than cryptic "If we get racing" comments. And it is THE story.
Also disappointed that Nicole who is at the track and inside, (obviously weather is bad), has not interviewed someone (it's 7:30 you know some NASCAR officials are there already) or told us info from an interview about what someone is saying about current and upcoming track conditions. How much rain fell overnight? Is it still raining? They didn't say - I guess we are supposed to assume from Nicole (and Angelique) being inside.
When it's forecast to snow for a NFL game in Green Bay or it snowed the night before, they give me forecast details on Sportscenter and the pre-game shows. They shouldn't ignore it on a NASCAR broadcast. I shouldn't have to go to an Internet site to see the conditions in Fontana.
I guess they don't want people to know the weather's bad if they think some of them might not tune in. Silly on their part because they're not covering the "news" part of NASCAR when they don't cover the weather affecting it.

I want to see the track.
I want to hear from a NASCAR official about when the rainfall stops what their plans are immediately after the rain stops. Do they have to pump water off the track like they did Friday? Or do they just have to dry the track like normal and in the normal span of time (2 hours)?
Jamie Little or someone last night spoke to a Sunoco official talking about the jet fuel and gasoline used by the jet dryers and how much had been unexpectedly used already. Did they have to send for more?
If the rain stops, is there a chance that dryers will get out on the track and the start will be moved up since there are two races to run?
A 10-second shot of a small part of track and saying rain is in the forecast doesn't do it for me. There is plenty more for them to "say" and they're not saying it. Two-three minutes was all they needed instead of ignoring it.
Like I said, NFL news this time of morning on Sundays doesn't shy away from weather conditions, why should NASCAR?
BTW, showers are supposed to stop by 1 PM Pacific, not that they told me that.

That was an interesting show. They refused to show live shots of the track or to get the official line on what will happen if both races rain out today. I wonder why?
There were lots of positive things from Nicole Manske's interviews and Burr with Boris Said. DJ Copp also proved once again to be good for NASCAR TV.
It sure would have been nice to hear from Mike Helton or John Darby. Maybe even to see the condition of the track facility.

Anon 10:49 (and first post also, I believe) you nailed it with your "list" of questions. My list, too and you thought of some I didn't. ;)
Too bad they didn't answer any of them.
I enjoyed the program, but the set (I think it's called?) in Bristol seems more "enclosed" than the set used before and during races. It was a little bit of an adjustment from last week when they used the pre-race set from Daytona on Sunday. I liked that more. More people, too.
I like Angelique Chengelis a lot and she always does a great job reporting the news.

Cuurently 70% chance of rain, by 1:00PM 40%, by 6:00PM 20%. Light rain
right now. they might get one race in tonight, buy I don't see two.

I hate to say this. But it doesn't look like they will get any race in today. It has been raining all night and continues to rain. It will take 3+ hours to dry the track, and of course there will be weepers. NASCAR had to pump out water last time it rained and this time there is much more rain.
Monday looks clear for both races. IT will be intersting to see what NASCAR RaceDay does today. In the past they have went off the air early whenit continues to rain and they don't think they can get the race in. (Dover last spring)

As a side note, we could have a real interesting situation if there's much of a rain delay to the start of today's Cup race. What's going to happen if the Cup race starts to creep into the 9p.m. Eastern hour, when ESPN2 is supposed to go on the air with the Nationwide race? Will ESPN2 go on the air as planned, or will they hold off with alternate programming until the Cup race finishes?
Also, it should make for an interesting Victory Lane even if the race finishes on time....it'll be interesting how they'll interview the winning driver, if that winning driver is also racing in the Nationwide race. That driver will have to get ready for that race, not to mention be there for driver introductions.
The logistics and coordination between the networks should be something to watch today.

The first thing I noticed about today's NN is that Ryan Burr was the host. He was in the studio with Boris Said. I also noticed that in Nicole's first appearance in the program, Ryan introduced her as our "reporter Nicole Manske". Her entire role was as reporter. All pre-taped.
I would suggest for all that wonder why no NASCAR personel or drivers where there, IT'S RAINING!" I bet no one at ESPN would have been able to get them to come to the track at 6am for an interview when at least 12 of them will be driving 6-7 hours today.
Yesterday was a horrible day for many and they were tired. They have been there since Thursday. Maybe they have run out of clean clothes and food and jovial temper.
Last night Dr. Punch was talking about what a busy morning officials, crews, administration, ESPN personnel, drivers, etc. would be having. Can you imagine what your hotel room would look like Sunday morning if you've been there since Thursday? They have to pack everything up and check out by 10am. That means that when they leave, everything has to be out of the room. So why would I get up at 5, take a shower and drive to the track for an interview and then come back and get packed? I don't think so.
As far as I could tell. there was no one at the track this morning. Ryan even mentioned that Nicole's interview was taped Saturday.
There is probably a good reason why Nicole was not host today. The program would air too early and they could not get a panel of guests together for her or they have decided to let her act as reporter and work her way up slowly. Even on the first clip they played of her, she tripped on her words, but she only tripped once. That's good.
I don't think she's done a particulary good job as host and needs more practice. Kyle seemed a little irritated at 2 of her questions. She said something about him having "matured". Practically the first thing out of his mouth was "I don't think it has to do with being mature" or something like that. Then she said he had been compared by a driver to Jeff Gordon. Even before he answered, I thought to myself, why? He was so upset about being dumped by HMS and knew that Rick had asked Jeff's approval to sign up Jr. So he knew Jeff did not have his back.
Anyway, Kyle said something like, "whenever you are compared to someone like Tony Stewart, and XXand XX and XX , and Jeff you feel good. He refused to answer the question directly,instead added 5-6 other driver's names, but was smart enough not to dis Jeff.
Well, I've got all my snacks ready, my newspaper, my computer and hope we get to see a good race. My team won yesterday so I won't have to be changing channels!

Nicole wasn't pre-taped in her first appearance by herself. She was in the Tech Center, she mentioned the weather outside not being good unless you are a duck. It wasn't from yesterday, neither was Angelique. Nicole's interview with a driver was pre-taped. I didn't notice any problems with Nicole's segments, she did fine to me.
Almost all tracks open at 6 or 7 AM on race weekends. If you think John Darby or someone from his crew was not there from 7-8 AM Pacific, rain or not, you are sadly mistaken.
I've even read an interview with someone who cooks for the NASCAR officials who tries to get there earlier than 6AM on race weekends to get the food going before they get there.
What, you think they're going to sleep in or stay at a hotel, especially when they have to gauge the current condition of the track or figure out the logistics of planning two races in one day?
Don't think so. Someone was there and should have been interviewed about plans for the day and the condition of the track.

I missed NASCAR Now today (watching Tradin Paint now!) But Nicole was the NASCAR Now host last Sunday morning. She was really good, better than I thought she would be for sure! I didn't see anything wrong with her hosting skills at all, she was there with Brad and Rusty and Ray Evernham.
I thought she and Ryan were supposed to alternate hosting....if that's the case then maybe it was Ryan's weeks to host Sunday.

C'mon anon, it was meant to be funny. Hey, it's okay to disagree. You are not there. I'm not there. You don't know why no one was there. I was just giving my opinion. You gave yours. That's what it's all about.
I'm smiling! :>)

Nicole has been the co-host from the tracks for this first stint of races. Burr will travel when the series hits Atlanta.
She is a co-host of this series, and has been since she was hired. Burr refers to her as "reporting" when she is on-site. Manske has also hosted the Saturday show from the ESPN Pit Center for the full hour.
I hope that clear up any issues about the NASCAR Now hosting situation. Thanks.

Hey guys - garage didn't open until 8 am local time but usually Darby or someone is there about 15 - 20 minutes beforehand
February 24, 2008 12:48 PM
Thanks for that info; it's cool to hear from someone at the track.
Sounds like maybe Darby or someone was probably there before the show went off the air at 8PST; perhaps he hadn't had a chance to survey the track and didn't want to comment?
What ESPN might have done was arrange last night to talk with him or Helton this morning, even if it was on the phone while he was elsewhere on the track or in the garage.

And after it actually stops raining I wonder how long it will take to dry the track. We were at Texas years ago and the Busch race started but 19 laps into it the rains came. We left the track thinking we would have 2 hours to kill til they restarted the race once it stopped raining. The rain stopped and they restarted in 90 minutes so we never got back to watch the race. But California is flat not banked like Texas so I wonder when they could get the race started tonight and whether they can actually get both races in.

BZ23This Black Zirconium ring features:
- A Hammer Finish
- A Domed Profile with Square Shape
- Pictured with 8mm Width
This ring comes with a comfort-fit inside the ring.
In its natural state, Zirconium is a silver-grey color. It earns its stark black appearance through a heating process, in which a layer of hard black oxide grows on the metal. This black layer is much harder than raw Zirconium, but it is very thin. Unlike oxidized silver and black rhodium, this layer does not rub off over time. It is also more durable than black-coated rings, such as black titanium and black tungsten. While this oxidized layer is dark, it is not pure black. Depending on the lighting it is seen in and what it is compared to, it can appear to vary in color.
Custom Engraving and Rush Processing are available on the Cart Page.
Please Note:
- Black Zirconium is the darkest metal available; however, it is not pure black and in some lighting it can appear to be dark grey. Click here to learn more about black zirconium.
Buy with confidence. All of our rings have a Lifetime Warranty.
Most rings are completed within 3 weeks, but some can take longer. Most of our rings are currently not experiencing any delays due to COVID-19, but with how quickly things change, please be aware that delays are a possibility. If you need your ring sooner, add Rush Processing on the Cart page. All rings will come with our standard Logo engraved on the inside of the ring. (Except for rings with wood sleeves) Please note that all monitors are different, and will display colors differently.

Lindsay Lohan dodged serious jail time again Thursday when a judge ruled she did not violate probation, but the troubled starlet still got an earful from the bench.
Los Angeles County Judge Stephanie Sautner gave the "Mean Girls" star a stern warning about keeping her nose clean while she finishes out her sentence of house arrest. While Sautner seemed to concede that a previous judge's order of periodic testing was for illegal substances and not alcohol, she took issue with Lohan's continued partying.
"Don't give people reason to hate you," Sautner said. "Don't do stupid things that fly in the spirit of the court's order.
U.S. & World
"You know I sentenced you to jail. You know I didn't sentence you to house arrest, and what do you do? You have barbecues at your house so your neighbors are writing letters about you," Sautner continued.
Sautner told Lohan not to have parties at her Venice Beach home, where she is under house arrest, and to limit her company to family and one friend at a time.
Shawn Chapman Holley, Lohan's attorney, said the actress obeyed all laws. It was unclear if the ruling was because of when Lohan was tested or what she was tested for.
"I don't know if she drank alcohol or not...But she is permitted to drink alcohol in her home," Holley said. "Alcohol is not a violation of her probation."
Based on the order given by Judge Fox in October 2010, Lohan was to submit to testing from Jan. 3 through Feb. 25. The test that Lohan allegedly failed on June 13 fell outside of those dates. In addition, the order stipulated that Lohan was to be tested for controlled substances, which would not include alcohol.
"This is not a technicality; this is sloppy judicial and legal work," said former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Robin Sax, who was inside the courtroom during the proceedings.
Lohan is currently under house arrest, having been released from jail and given 35 days' house arrest due to overcrowding. She was handed a 120-day sentence on April 22 for a prior probation violation.
"I'm so worried about my daughter," the actress' father, Michael Lohan, told Radar Online. "I'm very, very concerned about the people around Lindsay and the pressure being put upon her. If it turns out that the test was positive, then I have strong concerns because if a person can't stay straight in the house where can she stay straight?"
Lohan last week denied partying under her own roof while under house arrest.
"When my friends come over, they're not drinking," she told Life & Style magazine. "Alcohol is not in my house, so it's not part of my life."
Lohan's seemingly never-ending troubles stem from a 2007 DUI arrest. She spent two weeks in jail last summer for violating probation by not going to court-ordered alcohol treatment sessions. From there, she went into a 90-day rehab stint, also ordered by the court. She was again found to have violated her probation by allegedly swiping a $2,500 necklace from a Venice boutique just days after leaving rehab. That landed her the term she is currently serving.

.Meet at a Pub or Bar for a few adult beverages and lets see what the Vibe is. Meeting at a nudist resort or beach is great too!
Meet each other in a very nice place in Montmartre taking lunch, then walk together to discover the Ville Lumière and in the evening go the classic performane at the Operà Garnier
Fox theater. Then dinner and drinks. Then off to somewhere private for some nude time
I am always open to clever ideas. What I lack in creativity I make up in willingness
I'm a culture vulture - anything cultural and / or artistic would be good - anything cultural, artistic and naked would be even better, but I'm guessing Spencer Tunick shoots are hard to arrange!
i cant rember hahah. also i hate haveing to write so much
My first date would consist of a off-broadway play in Manhattan (Alfred Hitchcock marathon) & dinner after.
I have always been a big fan of plays and movies. I jut enjoy watching people express themselves and show an emotional side without the worry.
My idea first date would be somewhere that we could drink wine, not too loud--I want to be able to get to know you.
Au bord d'une rivière ou sur une plage... N'importe où pourvu qu'il y ait du soleil !
Just decide a location ie beach or naturist campsite and meet there.
Dinner, Disneyland, or a lovly walk on the beach

Helping young people succeed is one of the most important things a society can do. High on the list of ways to achieve that is teaching sound money management skills. Where can you find information about borrowing, saving and avoiding scams?
The FDIC recently published a special resource online to help young adults learn money management techniques. Especially valuable for those under 21 who may still be in school, the money guide also has good information for parents, grandparents and guardians.
Look for specific information about:
- Saving money to meet specific goals, made easier with the help of automated services;
- Choosing and using an account for everyday banking;
- Mobile banking by smartphone;
- Building a good credit record;
- Obtaining and repaying student loans;
- Getting a good deal on an auto loan;
- Avoiding mistakes with credit cards;
- Recovering from debt or bill-payment problems; and
- Guarding against fraud, including identity theft.
Get the full details from the FDIC's special 2012 Fall newsletter.
Of course, you also have resources close to home at Peoples Bank. With special banking products for children, we help kids and their guardians learn how to begin saving for the future at an early age. Practicing good money management is critical if future financial needs are to be met. Talk to a community banker from Peoples Bank and take advantage of the resources available to you right here at home.

Morning Five: 08.31.12 EditionPosted by rtmsf on August 31st, 2012
- We know that all of you like us have spent the last couple of weeks waiting with bated breath to hear the official explanation as to how Julius Peppers' depressing UNC transcript ended up on an NC State message board. We now have our answer. According to North Carolina administrators, the saga began 11 years ago when a staffer made a test record of a de-identified copy of Peppers' transcript and placed the original file on a secure server. Subsequently, during a 2007 technology migration to a new system, Peppers' original transcript file came over with it and ended up on an unsecured server. It sat there for five years until some enterprising Wolfpack fan exhumed it a few weeks ago. UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp said on Thursday that he personally apologized to Peppers for the privacy transgression, but it wasn't clear from his statement whether that phone call came before or after Peppers made a massive scholarship donation of $250,000 to the school.
- There was some big player movement news on Thursday as Memphis announced that junior college superstar Geron Johnson has matriculated at the school and is eligible to play immediately. Johnson has spent a career moving around and getting arrested rather than playing basketball — he was dismissed from both of his junior college teams, as an example — so this should make for an interesting situation under Josh Pastner next season. With a strong group of Tigers returning, the addition of a player the caliber of Johnson on the perimeter could potentially convert Memphis from a Sweet Sixteen team into a Final Four team. On the other hand, history has quite clearly shown that Johnson does not know how to avoid becoming a distraction. As a parallel, former Tiger Jelan Kendrick caused all sorts of headaches for Pastner before he was finally dismissed from the team on the eve of the 2010 opener, so the head coach clearly isn't afraid to cut a trouble-maker loose. All in all, it's probably worth the risk to Pastner to see how Johnson handles the first half of the fall semester and first few weeks of practice before making a final decision on whether he'll wear the uniform next season.
- While on the transfer tip, Fresno State announced on Thursday that former Oklahoma State guard Cezar Guerrero has enrolled at the school and will pursue a waiver request with the NCAA to play next season. The rising sophomore spent a successful first season at OSU, averaging six points and a couple dimes per game in just about 19 minutes per contest, but he wanted to move closer to his hometown of Los Angeles to be nearer to his ailing mother. The Bulldogs were not very good last season, but with Guerrero possibly in the fold and a couple more nice transfers coming in (Kansas' Braeden Anderson and Pacific's Allen Huddleston), Fresno could be poised to make a leap in the rugged Mountain West. One other transfer note: former Xavier player Dez Wells is apparently looking hard at none other than John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats.
- We can't say that we've every actually made it over to Terre Haute, Indiana, but if we ever had, you can rest assured that the very first thing we would have done was to make a beeline to the Indiana State campus and ask directions for the statue of Larry Bird. Imagine our surprise when our fake-traveler self would have learned that, alas, there is no such thing. At least not at ISU. Our next question,"how is this possible," probably would have been met with a shrug and a "good luck," but when we learned Thursday that Bird's alma mater was finally making plans to build a 15-foot bronze statue of the Legend, we made a mental note to do a visit there eventually. Here is a short list of big-time basketball schools who cannot claim one of the top 10 basketball players to ever walk the earth: Duke, Kentucky, Syracuse, Georgetown, Indiana, Connecticut. But you know who can? Indiana Freakin' State. How can it take 34 years to get this done — astonishing.
- What might be even more astonishing is when schools claim national titles that the simply do not have. Our disgust over treating Helms Titles in the same way as national championships won on the court is well-documented, but how should we feel if a school begins claiming that other (non-NCAA) tournament titles are also "national championships?" Can Pitt claim a national title for winning last year's CBI? Does Mercer have one for winning the CIT? Well, Louisville has pushed forward with a new adidas t-shirt suggesting that the school (who, incidentally, has won NCAA championships in 1980 and 1986) has won four national titles. A little deeper research performed by Kentucky Sports Radio (who else?) shows that the Cards won a tournament called the NAIB in 1948 and the NIT in 1956. Is this trend of claiming national championships from whole cloth marketing genius or shameless deception disguised as celebration? We're tending toward the latter. Don't do this, Louisville.
