As you're here…
5Pillars have one humble request from you…
Thousands of Muslims around the world visit our website for news every day. Due to the unfortunate reality of covering Muslim-related news in a heightened Islamophobic environment, our advertising and fundraising revenues have decreased significantly.
5Pillars is editorially and financially independent, with no sectarian or political allegiance to any particular group or movement. Our journalism has been exclusively grassroots focussed and our sole purpose is to defend Islam and Muslims in the media.
This makes us unique in comparison to other online Muslim media outlets who are neither independently regulated by a reputable body nor are they managed by qualified journalists.
Our journalism takes time, money and effort to deliver. But we do it because we believe we have a duty to Allah (swt).
You may not agree or like everything we publish. However, which other Muslim news site that is run by experienced journalists will take on the responsibility of being a shield for Islam and Muslims in the media?
If you follow 5Pillars, and you understand its importance in today's climate, then please support us for as little as £5 a month, it only takes a minute to make a donation. Jazakallah khayran.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:"The best deeds are those done regularly, even if they are small." [Ibn Mājah]

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Most of the recipes I'll be posting this week are very simple. While none of them come near gourmet standards, I promise those of you who try them will not be disappointed. As a way of thanking the hospital staff who have been caring for the Silver Fox, I decided to bake for them. So, midweek I began making quick and simple treats that could be easily transported. The transportation issue pretty much limited me to cookies and quick breads and this strawberry cream loaf is a really quick, quick bread that they loved. The original version of this recipe was developed in the Betty Crocker test kitchens. It requires no special equipment to make and if you have a bowl and a wooden spoon you can have this bread on your tea table in an hour. I like to serve this plain and honest loaf with a homemade strawberry cream cheese spread. The spread helps dress up the bread and the two paired together make for a wonderful tea time treat. This is a straight forward recipe and it is one that even young cooks can make without difficulty. I hope those of you who are not familiar with the bread will give it and the strawberry cream cheese spread a try. I really think you'll enjoy them both. Here are the recipes.
Strawberry Cream Bread...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Betty Crocker
1/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup strawberries, cut in pieces
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2) Place butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix to blend. Stir in sour cream, blending well.
3) Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix to incorporate. Do not over beat.
4) Stir strawberry pieces into batter. Spread in prepared loaf pan. Let mixture sit in pan for 20 minutes prior to baking. Bake for 50 – 55 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire cooling rack. Let sit for 10 minutes before before before removing from pan. Slice and serve. Yield: 1 loaf.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread ...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Southern Foods.com
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
Combine cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and strawberries in jar of a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth and well blended. Use immediately, or refrigerate until needed. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.

1,000 protest against Nato summit
Around 1,000 protesters have marched through the streets of Newport ahead of next week's Nato summit.
More than 150 heads of state and ministers will attend the two-day event at Newport's Celtic Manor Resort.
Security for the summit will be provided by 9,500 police officers drawn from 43 UK police forces with 12 miles of security fencing already in place at keys sites in Cardiff and Newport.
No to Nato protesters march in Newport, south Wales
The event will be "uncharted territory" for police - while Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones has said it will be "momentous" in his country's history.
However, its presence in the principality - and the UK - has been met with strong opposition from a number of anti-war groups as well as left-wing organisations.
A large crowd gathered outside Newport Crown Court at around midday before going on a march through the Welsh city.
As well as strong Welsh contingent, protesters came from as far as Washington in the USA, Belgium, France and Ireland.
Groups including Stop the War organised coaches with campaigners being driven in from London, Birmingham, Norwich and Newcastle.
Among those taking part in the march was seasoned CND veteran Bruce Kent.
He said: "Nato's continued expansion has brought about the current problems with Russia.
"If you put yourself in their shoes, you would be concerned at the growing military presence on your doorstep.
"We need to think about peaceful ways of resolving problems not ramping matters up further with the sabre rattling that Nato have been doing.
"We need to say no to Nato and no to nuclear weapons.
"The money being spent on Trident would far better served in health or education."
Also taking part was the Wales Green Party leader Pippa Bartolotti.
She said: "The Nato that so many people remember as a force for defence has turned into a force for aggression without anyone really being aware that this subtle change has happened over the last 10 to 15 years."
Plaid Cymru Assembly Member Bethan Jenkins, who was also present, said Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones had continued to dodge the issue surrounding people's concerns over the summit.
She said: "He has repeatedly refused to speak about the situation regarding Nato saying it is a non-devolved matter - but then has been happy to speak at length about other non-devolved matters before.
"Much has been said about how Wales will benefit from the summit, but I honestly fail to see how it will - given the massive disruption it will cause as well as its cost.
"Wales is a peace loving nation and has a long history of pacifism."
The march came just ahead of a counter summit tomorrow as well as a peace camp set up in the city's Tredegar Park.
Newport Council said it had been given assurances the camp will be a "peaceful encampment" and would not interfere with the park's normal activities.
A spokesperson said: "Newport City Council is continuing to work with partner agencies to monitor the situation and minimise the impact of such a camp."

Flexible Sanders
Sanding body panels with just a 1/4 sheet of paper and your hand, or an old fashioned wooden block makes it hard to get good results. Using a larger block, that can be adjusted to make it more or less flexible, makes it much easier to get a glass smooth body. Plus, imagine how much faster you could sand the whole roof, hood, or door skin if you have a 2 handed 3 foot long sanding block, instead of a piece 3 in x 5 in. Eastwood also carries blocks to help you sand right up to the edge of body lines, without over-sanding the edges and blurring the details. Our flexible sanding tools are just what you need for sanding the complex curves on rounded post war cars, jet age 1950s cruisers, and curvaceous muscle cars of the 60s.

Mushrooms have to be one of my all time favorite foods which is why when Mushrooms Canada approached me about taking part in an international mushroom tournament, I jumped at the chance to take part! The name of the game is "Mushroom Masters: A Tournament of Taste" and the basic idea behind it is that food bloggers, in association with mushroom organizations, from Canada, the United States and Australia would develop and photograph new mushroom recipes to face off against each other once a week for the month of September, which is mushroom month. The photographs have been appearing on Taste Spotting for the show down for the last few weeks this week it was my turn to represent team Canada with a tasty new mushroom dish.
Luckily, I drew the wild card and I was allowed to use pretty much any commonly available mushroom. My biggest problem for this challenge however, was that I had too many ideas! When I sat down to brain storm, I ended up with over a dozen ideas within a few minutes. I was able to narrow the list down to six recipes which I ended up making all in one weekend and this hot cheesy mushroom dip was my favourite from among them.
I had been craving a hot cheesy dip for a while and the idea one infused with mushroomy goodness was too hard to resist. I started out by sauteing some mushrooms in butter along with some onions, garlic and thyme and I finished things of with a splash of wine. You could use pretty mush any mushroom you want in this dip and I went for my goto mushroom, the cremini mushroom to keep things nice and simple. I then pureed half of the mushrooms in a food processor to make sure that the mushroom flavour penetrated the entire dip and I left the other half of the mushrooms the way they were so that I could also enjoy their texture. From there I incorporated the mushrooms into a pretty standard hot cheesy dip base and baked the whole thing in the oven until it was nice and bubbling and golden brown.
I have to say that if you like mushrooms and you like hot cheesy dips then this is the dip for you! I was immediately hooked and the entire batch disappeared much quicker than it should have! I served the mushroom dip on toasty sliced baguette along with a glass of that white wine.

"NASCAR Confidential" Brings Down The House
The debut of the new program series from the NASCAR Media Group filled a void that fans had been asking SPEED Channel to fix for several years.
Few things can be better than Ken Squier as the first voice fans heard on NASCAR Confidential. Squier set-up the debut as a slice-of-life program following several different and diverse personalities on the Daytona 500 weekend.
For the past several years, the official TV production arm of NASCAR was called NASCAR Images. Originally a joint venture with Fox, the company is now part of a broader organization called the NASCAR Media Group and is totally owned by NASCAR.
The organization is diverse, and provides everything from on-site TV production services to NASCAR home videos. One other thing the company provides is outstanding post-produced TV series. Several networks have provided the outlets for this type of product, but things have been a bit slow over the last several years.
ESPN has almost no room for additional long-form NASCAR programming like NASCAR Confidential. They have added a ton of NASCAR content with races and a daily news show called NASCAR Now. The burden of carrying additional NASCAR content like this really falls to SPEED.
With 24 hours dedicated to motorsports, SPEED has been focusing their NASCAR efforts on programming that originates from the track. Ironically, it is the NASCAR Media Group that produces all those shows seen on SPEED from Raceday to Victory Lane. Finally, SPEED has decided to add this new six episode series.
"SPEED knows how devoted NASCAR fans are and how much they want every tidbit of information and insight they can get their hands on," said Steve Craddock, SPEED Senior VP of Programming. "NASCAR Confidential will give viewers a different take on the behind-the-scenes workings in NASCAR. It will bring NASCAR to the fans in more depth and detail than they've ever had before."
In this first program, cameras followed T. Taylor Warren, the photographer who has chronicled in photos every Daytona 500. Also, DeLana Harvick, wife of 2007 Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick and Jay Howard, president of JHE, the company in charge of pre-race entertainment were featured. Finally, both Ryan Newman and Michael Waltrip showed-up as drivers with unique perspectives going into this event.
The stories of each of the participants were told in slices and were weaved together quite well. The pace was fast and this series was different than the single-theme programs we have seen from NMG in the past. It was refreshing to once again be able to see behind-the-scenes in a realistic way the sport that contains so many diverse human interest stories.
Perhaps, you could tell us what you thought of this pilot episode. The show will re-air on Monday in the TWIN timeslot at 8PM Eastern Time on SPEED if you missed the original airing. Maybe SPEED could be persuaded to continue this series beyond the original six episodes ordered so far.

LOVED this show. Who know there was an 82yo taking great pictures at Daytona. I have always liked seeing the drivers as people and this show gave it to us without being totally interfering in their lives. The other insiders were also fun to follow. This show definately deserves more than a 6 show run.

I liked NASCAR Confidential a lot....once I figured out what to compare it to. I was thinking (hoping!) it would be more like "NASCAR Drivers 360" or "7 Days". Those programs show a little more of the personal side of the participants in their daily lives for part of the show, then show them during the race they were participating in that week.
In my view, NASCAR Confidential is actually an expanded version of "Beyond the Wheel". It took a race and looked back on the ins and outs of it as it happened. The difference in NC and Beyond the Wheel is that NC is expanded by time (30 minutes more than BTW) and by showing people other than drivers, crews, owners (wife, photographer, NASCAR employee).
So when I looked at it as an expanded "Beyond the Wheel" (which was more impersonal than the other shows because it was almost all racetrack-based), I thought it was very good. Sometimes transitions were abrupt, like when they jumped out of the race to examine the Kurt Busch/ Tony Stewart "feud", but overall it meshed well. The music included when they were getting ready to start the Daytona 500 was really stirring -good choice.
My suggestion would be to imitate the past programs like NASCAR 360 in captioning the audio that is difficult to hear. There were several comments that were difficult to hear because of muffled audio, and previous shows added captioning to those moments to make them clearer.
I will continue to watch the show.
Still hoping there's room out there for a revival of NASCAR Drivers 360. Last I heard, ESPN owned the rights to air it as "NASCAR Drivers Non-Stop". ESPN2 aired four episodes of NASCAR Drivers Non-Stop series on Sunday evenings (10 PM) in fall 2006. Hope they jump back in this game too.

I really enjoyed it! It was a neat "behind the scenes" perspective!
I loved learning about Mr. Warren! That's great that he's been doing it for so long!
I hope they do more shows! I think this will be a winner if the others follow as well :)

For you early birds, this program also comes on again at 4 AM EST and 8 AM EST today before tonight's replay. Also midnight and 8 AM Tuesday. Good job SPEED in showing multiple replays.
Interesting show; I'd vote for it to have more than six episodes. What I might change is maybe they should have focused more closely on four people instead of six. The victory lane guy didn't get much time. If they were going to focus on him, I would have liked to have seen how he works before/during the race-does he have hats from every sponsor of every driver ready for the photos or what? He also sounded like he was coordinating with the TV crews -how does that work? Who sets up the placement of elements in victory lane? That kind of thing. He just sort of appeared at the end of the program.
And also perhaps spending more time on the two drivers. I don't think we heard one word from Ryan's wife or saw more than one or two glimpses of her. It would have been nice to see exactly what she was doing while Ryan was at the driver's meeting, or as Ryan was fulfilling all the media duties after winning.

I'm still hoping with you, but I've got a feeling it's not coming back. Too bad.

Loved it!! It reminded me of NASCAR Drivers 360, which was "must see TV" for my household when it was on. I was wondering if it was a one shot deal--glad to see there are 5 more episodes.
Hopefully our positive comments on this type of programming will have some effect on the powers that be. If you program this type of show, WE WILL WATCH.

Of course what I MEANT was "...if the others that follow are just as good"
@anon 10:36--yes I agree about the BTW comparison.
@anon 12:18--yes that's AWESOME that they did so many replays! So taking over the VL and TWIN replay spots :). Yes I hope they talk more about VL and some other things that require coordination in the upcoming episodes. I *think* it was either the 7 Days or 24/7 show that had an episode on the fly-over coordination. Having the aircrafts in the area early enough but not too early and then negotiating them in so they'll hit the track at the right time.
@Lisa--Yes I wish the 360 aka Non-Stop would come back! It was fun seeing what they did in their free time and see how busy many of them are!

I totally enjoyed this show and would love more of this type. I have always enjoyed seeing what goes on behind the scenes and to meet the people involved in making the races go off smoothly.
I was a big fan of "7 Days" and hope this will be a big success.

I caught this show by accident after all of my Easter activities, so I had no preconceived notions prior to watching it. I enjoyed the show and its glossy, magazine feel.
I agree that it would help to back the number of personalities that are being covered down to about four. I also would rather they not cover drivers. We really don't need another SPEED program about Michael Waltrip. He is reaching the overexposure point quickly.
I think hardcore fans want to see more of the personalities that work in the background of the sport. The camerman and victory lane coordinators are stories that you can't see anywhere else. I vote for more of this.

Mr Daly, perhaps you can help the fans out on this one...
Most people really enjoyed "360" although it was a limited run show with few episodes. Now we have "Confidential" which has a similar feel but once again it is slated for very few shows.
Are these programs just too expensive and too complex to produce more episodes? Speaking only for myself, I'd much rather watch this type of program than "Pinks" or "Setup" (although I do enjoy both of those programs on a limited basis) and it seems that with hundreds and hundreds of stories in the garage every week the potential is endless. Why are networks reluctant to give us this type of programming and when they do, only in limited quantities?

SPEED has tried to figure out what that network should be between Monday and Thursday for years now.
Do you remember all the time and effort on the motorcycles, only to have that whole thing cancelled?
Remember Wind Tunnel every night of the week when it featured folks from all types of racing? Gone.
We have been suggesting for some time not that SPEED and NMG get together for a Monday night "theme block" of NASCAR.
Now that NMG is no longer partially owned by Fox, everything SPEED asks them to do involves real dollars.
At the present time, SPEED is continuing their dogged pursuit of a "fan base" of young non-NASCAR or open wheel fans. Sometimes, they are called the "import crowd" because of their cars.
Shows like Living the Low Life and NOPI Tunervision are extensions of this group. The success of PINKS as an entertainment property has forced development of real racing shows to the back burner.
Imagine NASCAR looking at the Craftsman Truck Series on SPEED and seeing nothing but a pre-race show and the races themselves. That series needs additional weekly programming to grow, and SPEED has not filled that void.
With the struggles of TWIN on Monday as the lone NASCAR program on SPEED, it should be interesting to see how this season plays out.

I think the last 2 "PINKS" live shows had bigger crowds at the track, than the stand-alone NASCAR Trucks get?!

Great show. Hopefully they will do a few more.
Also, a few more episodes of The Humpy show would be nice. An episode featuring Jeff Gordon and David Pearson would be fantastic.

"I think hardcore fans want to see more of the personalities that work in the background of the sport. The camerman and victory lane coordinators are stories that you can't see anywhere else. I vote for more of this.
March 24, 2008 7:29 AM"
The problem with aiming at hardcore fans: the reason that "NASCAR Drivers 360" was such a huge success is because it drew in casual fans (many of whom became hardcore fans - I know a few of them!) Several articles about new NASCAR fans (especially women) specifically mentioned they really got into the sport for good by watching NASCAR Drivers 360, which was about the drivers and their lives.
These shows absolutely need drivers in them to be successful. "7 Days" had a nice mix of maybe two episodes focusing on driver, wife, well known crew chief, or owner, then an episode on a true behind-the-scenes person. That worked also - but drivers are essential to gaining an audience for this show or others like it. They need to be in the show every week.
I do agree with you that Michael Waltrip is a little overexposed!

AWESOME! This was a well done documentary much like survival of the fastest.
Obviously, there is a need for more NASCAR oriented programming and SPEED must step up to bat.
Me and my 8 year old sat motionless for an hour, which is indeed a miracle for him.

"Are these programs just too expensive and too complex to produce more episodes?"
March 24, 2008 9:22 AM
I don't know about Beyond the Wheel, NBS 24/7 or the new NASCAR Confidential, but NASCAR Drivers 360/NASCAR Drivers Non-Stop were more expensive than usual to produce. They came from a Hollywood production company (working with NASCAR Images) and the main guy had been an executive producer on the FOX series "24". So real top-shelf stuff.
I think the fact that it was on FX and not SPEED or ESPN2 may have helped with the quality; no doubt FX added in some budget money for the production. When "NASCAR Drivers 360" was announced, the FX president said they were treating it like one of their regular primetime series.
When 360 moved to ESPN as "NASCAR Drivers Non-Stop", I'm not sure the same production team remained, since ESPN didn't list credits on Non-Stop - but it seemed as high quality as ever. But they only created four episodes for Non-Stop (as opposed to the eight per season for NASCAR Drivers 360),so I'd guess some cost cutting was involved there.
I know some people think that drivers no longer want to commit to filming that type of show, but I don't think that's the case, because as recently as fall 2006 Drivers Non-Stop had Clint Bowyer, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers among others. Jeff Gordon made a cameo appearance on camera when he had several people over for takeout food at his highrise apartment (Mears and Vickers were attending, so it was in the show). So I don't think the drivers are all that hesitant as long as some of their privacy is kept. Like we saw Jeff Gordon's living room and kitchen but not the more private areas of his home.

I liked having the drivers included and seeing Michael Waltrip as a person instead of the funny guy was insightful. I think the reason we did not see more of Ryan's wife was because he was added after the 500 was over, let's face it it would have been unbelievable luck for them to have picked the driver who actually won the 500. I wonder if it will always be 6 people or if just for the first show? I could be ok with less than 6.
I think for the hat dance the teams supply their sponsor hats so they always have to have a supply on hand just in case they get to go to victory lane. Hats specific to that race are the only ones supplied by Nascar. I seem to remember this from a different Nascar show that was similar to Nascar Confidential .

Newracefan, good point in suggesting they probably added Ryan Newman after the fact and just rounded up any coverage they had of him. I was wondering how they ended up so lucky to have the Daytona 500 winner, out of the two drivers they chose to profile.

I'm trying to figure out when NASCAR Confidential is coming on again or what its weekly timeslot would be. I looked at speedtv.com listings through Monday, April 7.
After the 8AM replay tomorrow, it doesn't appear to air again until March 31 (Monday) and April 4 (Friday). Both airings are in mid-afternoon and only air once, so I certainly hope those aren't new episodes in those timeslots.
I thought perhaps it would air for the next five weeks after TWIN, but next week and April 7 Super Cars Exposed is on after TWIN.
Bummer. Debuting NASCAR Confidential as a pilot and then not airing a new episode for at least a few weeks (and not saying at the end of the show when the next episode airs) isn't going to help it gain a regular audience. Let's hope it doesn't come and go like The Humpy Show pilot.

As a NASCAR fan of 30 years, I found this show to be wonderful. I like the inside world that we were permitted to experience. The ups, downs, questions, answers, you had it all. Racers, crews, photographers, the complete package. I can't wait for the next episode.

JD: I think Ken Squier's time may have passed. He was doing the PA at Atlanta Motor Speedway and made a couple, ahem, gaffs, both during the Cup event:
1) Here's Clint Bowyer, the Emporia, VIRGINIA driver of the 07 Jack Daniels Chevy"
2) Early in the going, there was a restart and he mentioned a battle for second between two drivers (one was Harvick, I believe). One problem, the other driver was one LAP down.

I was just scrolling through the guide last night and saw this show, so tuned in about 10-15 minutes after the start. It was pretty good, but nowhere near as good as Beyond the Wheel. The distinctive style of NASCAR Images was present (which I enjoy a lot), but I wasn't that impressed with all the subjects of this week's show. Really enjoyed the photographer, but didn't find any interest in the chorography behind the scenes of the concerts and Victory Lane. Delana Harvick has been featured way too much in documentaries IMHO.
I like this style of show, but really don't understand why SPEED dropped Beyond the Wheel as it was excellent and won some Emmy Awards. Why do they keep repackaging these shows with new names? The "confidential" part of this show's title really turned me off as it sounded too soap opera-ish for my tastes. I wouldn't go out of my way to record this show, but if I happened to catch it on again, I'd probably watch it.

The best thing about the show is that Ken Squier actually only spoke at the beginning and end. The worst thing is the medias continuing fascination and inclusion of Michael Waltrip in everything they do. Enough already. I did enjoy the show however oeverall and have the TIVO set to record them all. Now I know who is responsible for all the mind numbing musis we are subjected to for 4 hours before the race.

When are you guys at Speed going to realise that the most of the NASCAR fans cannot stand Michael Waltrip. Especially if they know anything at all about NASCAR racing. If you want to keep people watching then get rid of the MUG.

Michale Waltrip is and will continue to be a very popular driver in Nascar. I always enjoy seeing him, at least it wasn't Jr., Jeff, Jimmy or Karl Edwards, now we have had a overdose of those guys, and yes the talented Kyle Busch, who is very annoying, they all have their fans, you love them, hate them, or just have no opinion. But this was a nice show, look forward to seeing future shows.

In this program, I understood the MW presence because of the issues that his new team had last season and the fact he rebounded with his qualifying effort.
I completely understand the over-exposure issue. If I was his agent, I would make a plan and slow things down.

Michael Waltrip appears to be one of the dependable folks for these NASCAR documentary shows. Meaning if you don't have someone available you call call on them because they are comfortable with the cameras. Same with Jeremy and Shana Mayfield, Buffy Waltrip, and DeLana Harvick (the latter three all had their own episodes of 7 Days along with Shana and DeLana being on NASCAR 360). I enjoyed them all, but also like to see different perspectives from others.
So I agree it's better when they go out of the box a little and show some other drivers/wives. 7 Days had a few that didn't normally get followed - Newman, Sadler, Boris Said, Hamlin, Truex -and hopefully NASCAR Confidential will be able to do that.

All this talk about the NASCAR Confidential made me pull out my tape of Drivers Nonstop (Yay to all my fellow Nonstop fans!). I only watched one Nonstop episode tonight. But yeah, the distinction between Nonstop (360) and NASCAR Confidential is striking. NASCAR Confidential ends up looking "pretty good" as opposed to "excellent".
One contrast is the unusually superb editing. Shana and Jeremy Mayfield have indeed done a lot of the reality shows, but seeing them on Nonstop (recorded right after Jeremy got fired from EMS) was really different and something you don't get to see all the time - A driver who is stuck at home against his will. I'll describe it a little, because from what I know a lot of people saw 360 but hardly anybody saw Nonstop, thanks to ESPN not showing repeats.
The episode had Mayfield, Yeley, Bowyer during the week of the Fontana race. As the race began, the editors compiled a 10-second shot - of cars going off pit road, then to Bowyer's crew chief, then to Yeley's crew chief - and finally to the Mayfields watching the race on TV, looking completely forlorn, as the green flag fell. It was an AMAZING shot - you felt exactly how miserable they were, in three seconds of looking at their faces.
The show ended with showing Bowyer and Yeley postrace, but the final shot was Mayfield. He couldn't deal with watching the race and went outside to fish. The final shot was of him in the pitch dark, at his fishing hole. Again, amazing.
That's what NASCAR Images/NASCAR Media group is capable of - showing the mostly good but also a little of the downside of racing and making both COMPELLING. (Jeremy was cheerful and having fun most of the episode before raceday, so it wasn't as if they were making him look bad.) It would be great to see them hit that standard again, in a variety of programming for the networks. It would be great if the networks welcomed NMG and its ideas with open arms (and money).

As a fan of Michael Waltrip, I loved hearing and seeing Mikey in this show. I also liked seeing the other aspects of the show. Anyone can get overexposed. Jr., JG, Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and the usual suspects definitely do get overexposed.

"The rumors are true. SimCity is back." So said Maxis senior VP Lucy Bradshaw by way of announcing a new PC title in the seminal city-building series for a 2013 release.
During a Game Developers Conference presentation to gathered press, Bradshaw noted its been roughly ten years since Maxis last released a core SimCity title, and that the phones in many people's pockets now have the same power as the machines that ran SimCity 4 back then. The new SimCity will take advantage of advances in computer power to be the first truly 3D entry in the series. "This is like an entirely new playground for us, and we're going to take advantage of it," she said.
New visual features like dust clouds that kick up when a building is dropped will provide what Bradshaw calls "tactility and physicality" to playing the game, even during simple action like zoning. Not only that, but Bradshaw promised the new game will finally feature the "curvy roads" that series fans have been demanding for ages.
Bradshaw emphasized that the next SimCity (which she was careful not to call SimCity 5) will also add new global leaderboard competitions to the game, letting players strive to rank the highest on city attributes both positive (greenest, fittest, most educated) and negative (most depressed, slothful, dirtiest).
Despite promised deeper simulation features in the next SimCity, Bradshaw said the team was trying to make avoid making the game too complex. The aim is for a "what you see is what we sim" system that gives direct, visual feedback for everything you need to know about your city. "You should be able to read your city like a set of tea leaves," she said.
Bradhaw also promised the simulation would also have a game-like, playful side. "You never know when a giant lizard will show up," she said.
Polluting the next SimCity over
The new SimCity will also allow players to affect other connected players in the same virtual region with decisions that they make in their own city, Bradshaw said. Players will be able to cooperate by connecting cities together for regional upgrades, or be a more negative presence by spewing out pollution that will drift to nearby towns, for instance.
"We're talking about a SimCity where the resources are finite," Bradshaw said, "where you're going to be struggling with some of the decisions that people are faced with today, where technology and advances can ultimately have global impact."
To emphasize that point, publisher EA had An Inconvenient Truth director Davis Guggenheim speak at the announcement event. Aside from the scientific and political barriers to slowing and reversing global climate change trends, Guggenheim said, there is also a psychological barrier that leads people to disconnect from awareness of the problem and continue to simply live their life as they did before they knew about it.
Playing SimCity can help people avoid that disconnect, though, Guggenheim said, since they're being directly and consistently confronted with the negative effects of, say, building a cheap and easy coal power plant instead of a more renewable and clean energy source. "Before you know it you have smog in your city, and your water table is getting dirty and the people who live there are getting people are getting ill," he said.

The proliferation of tablets, laptops, and monitors that provide high dots-per-inch (DPI) displays can result in Windows desktop apps that display blurry text and images. When you have devices with high-DPI displays capable of working at resolutions above 1920x1080 (also known as FullHD or 1080p), you expect both crisp text and images. In this article, the first in a two-part series, I explain the features that Windows 8.1 provides for such high-DPI displays and all the things to consider when using Win32 to deliver software containing crisp text and sharp images. In the next article, I'll take this preliminary information and turn it into the necessary code.
New High DPI Features in Windows 8.1
Windows XP introduced DPI settings in Windows along with API functions to retrieve system metrics and resolution. Windows Vista added the API functions to declare DPI awareness and the DPI virtualization of DPI unaware applications. Windows 7 enabled per user DPI settings and the automatic configuration of DPI at first logon. (When Windows desktop applications assume the default 96 DPI setting and don't take into account the system DPI settings, it is considered a "DPI unaware" application.) I'll explain how these applications work when you have high-DPI displays later.
Windows 8.1 expanded the DPI awareness features to take into account per-monitor DPI and incorporated the viewing distance in the default DPI calculation. With Windows 8.1 per-monitor DPI, a DPI aware application can scale based on the monitor DPI settings of each monitor in which it is being displayed. When you open Control Panel | Appearance and Personalization | Display, the "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" checkbox allows you to deactivate per-monitor scaling. When the checkbox is checked, per-monitor scaling is deactivated and the DPI settings are applied to all the displays (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: When the checkbox is checked, per-monitor scaling is deactivated on Windows 8.1 and the DPI settings are applied to all the displays. Notice that Windows 8.1 displays all the available scaling options with the percentage value.
By default, the checkbox is unchecked; if you use the slider to select a different scaling factor and then click on the Apply button, the changes will take effect immediately (see Figure 2). As you might guess, Windows will communicate the changes to the applications that have declared certain DPI awareness levels and you will have the chance to scale the elements based on the new configurations. The checkbox is checked, per-monitor scaling is deactivated on Windows 8.1 and the DPI settings are applied to all the displays. Notice that Windows 8.1 displays all the available scaling options with the percentage value.
Figure 2: The checkbox is unchecked and per-monitor scaling is activated on Windows 8.1.
A modern high DPI Windows 8.1 laptop can have a 15.6" QHD+ LED multi-touch display. In this case, the laptop delivers a 15.6" display size with 3200 horizontal pixels and 1800 vertical pixels (3200x1800). By default, the optimal scale level in Windows 8.1 for this display will be 200%. With this scale level, while the panel DPI is 235 DPI, the operating system DPI will be 192 DPI. The panel DPI is the native pixel density of the display panel. The operating system DPI (also known as OS DPI) indicates the closest match DPI that calibrates the display to a standard setting and is the setting you change in the control panel. When the scale level is set to 100%, the operating system DPI is the long-time default, 96 DPI. It's easy to see why you reach 192 DPI, as it is twice 96DPI.
When you run a DPI-unaware desktop application, Windows 8.1 uses the DPI virtualization introduced in Windows Vista to provide automatic scale support for the application with the addition of per-monitor metrics. The DPI virtualization provides virtualized system metrics and UI elements to the application as if it were running at the long-time default 96 DPI.
Windows renders the application in a sandbox at 96 DPI (100%) and the desktop window manager (also known as DWM) scales the rendered application window to match the monitor DPI setting. Considering my high-DPI laptop example, DWM will scale the DPI unaware application window from 96 DPI to 192 DPI. As a result of this scaling up based on pixel stretching, the resulting content can be blurry. Thus, instead of providing crisp and visually appealing content, the DPI-unaware application has great probability of providing a poor visual experience to the high DPI display owner on Windows 8.1.
At the time of writing this article, there is still a huge number of desktop applications that are DPI unaware and display both blurry text and images on high DPI displays with Windows 8.1. For example, Google Chrome version 35.0.1916.153 (the current version --Ed.) is a DPI-unaware application; so when you use this browser in Windows 8.1 with a high DPI display and an operating system DPI higher than 96 DPI, you will see blurry text. You can enable the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" checkbox included in the compatibility settings for each DPI-unaware application that has problems. However, the text and the images will probably be too small for the high resolution and the user will end up migrating to an application that provides a better visual experience for his high DPI display.
As a developer, you likely use more than one display. However, developers aren't the only users who benefit from multiple displays. If you think your desktop application might run on multiple displays, you have to understand what happens in Windows 8.1. If you launch a DPI-unaware application on the high-DPI display I used as an example and then move its window to a display with a 150% scale level, DWM will scale the application window from 96 DPI to 144 DPI.

To Stanczyk, it appears that 2012 has gotten off to a sluggish start (genealogically speaking). How about for you genealogists (email or comment)? Well that is all about to change ! Lisa Kudrow's Who Do You Think You Are?, returns this Friday with Martin Sheen as the subject.
RootsTech 2012 kicks off this week too. Did you notice, they have an app (its free) for that? Even better they will STREAM some of the conference for the benefit of all genealogists ! Kudos to Roots Tech — All Conferences (genealogical or not should do these two things: app and stream conference proceedings). This should definitely jump start genealogy.
Read these blogs. Yes, I am telling you its ok to read other blogs than this one. These people are "official Roots Tech bloggers".
I discovered that I missed one of my holiday blogs (in my backlog) about the happy married couples in Pacanów parish from 1881. So I will post the names of 40 Happy couples and what record # (Akt #) they are in the Pacanów parish church book. This is two years after my great-grandparents got married, but there is still a Jozef & Mary who are getting married (Jozef Elijasz). I once had to sort out the two Jozef Elijasz from 1879 and the one from 1881 who all married women named Mary in the village of Pacanów! Genealogy is hard.
Oh and Punxsutawney Phil will make an appearance this week and offer his weather prognostication skills (I really think his predecessor Pete was much better and more alliterative too). I am pretty sure Phil & Pete are German, so you will need a German genealogy site for their lineage. Quaint tradition (Pennsylvania), dragging a Ground Hog from its home to ask him about weather. I think Bill Murray's movie captured it well. So be careful what you do this week, or you may be repeating it a few times.

So as we draw to a close this elder year 2012 AD, I take but a moments pause to wish my friends and good readers well and much happiness and wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year.
Verily, this jester says, "All Is Well, That Ends Well". And 2012 has indeed ended well.
Let me endebt myself further and borrow again from the great bard to close out this year. In Shakespeare's play, "All's Well That Ends Well", in the first Act, the first Scene is a quote that suits me well to use though I steal it from a woman's lips:
That I should love a bright particular star
And think to wed it, she who is so above me:
In her bright radiance and collateral light.
My bright star is my much beloved wife, Teréza !
I love her so. Those who love her cannot be faulted for she is such a force of a nature and a wonder to behold. And those who fault her, do not know love. Theirs is a terrible loss indeed. Pity those fools for their jealousy and praise this jester for his steadfastness in the face of such folly. Bless my wife for her devotion made stronger and more holy for her mettle that was tempered by the trifles of miscreants.
That's my closing thoughts for 2012. Better Genealogy in the coming year to all genealogists!
Happy New Year 2013 !

It's a pretty simple rule: public companies are required to disclose "material information" publicly, not just to a select few. That ensures that everyone investing in a stock has a fair chance to trade on it, not just a select group of insiders. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Regulation FD in 2000.
Yesterday, Netflix revealed that its CEO, Reed Hastings, may be in trouble for violating the rule. The secret forum where Hastings revealed this allegedly secret information? Facebook, where Netflix has more than 200,000 subscribers.
"Netflix monthly viewing exceeded 1 billion hours for the first time ever in June," Hastings wrote in a Facebook post on July 3, according to a report in Reuters.
The SEC says that was material information that should have been disclosed "publicly," which in the SEC's terms apparently means via press release or filing an 8-K form with the SEC. Netflix and Reed have received a so-called "Wells Notice," indicating that the SEC may take legal action against them, either in the form of a cease-and-desist order or a lawsuit.
Netflix responded to the brouhaha yesterday, at the same time that it was disclosed in a regulatory filing. "SEC staff questions a Facebook post," wrote Hastings. "Fascinating social media story." He went on to say that the billion-hours fact wasn't really "material" in the first place, and that in any case, a popular Facebook page is about as public a forum as there is.
Hastings continued:
First, we think posting to over 200,000 people is very public, especially because many of my subscribers are reporters and bloggers.Second, while we think my public Facebook post is public, we don't currently use Facebook and other social media to get material information to investors; we usually get that information out in our extensive investor letters, press releases and SEC filings. We think the fact of 1 billion hours of viewing in June was not "material" to investors, and we had blogged a few weeks before that we were serving nearly 1 billion hours per month.Finally, while our stock rose the day of my public post, the increase started well before my mid-morning post was out, likely driven by the positive Citigroup research report the evening before.We remain optimistic this can be cleared up quickly through the SEC's review process.
Already, investor sites are musing about whether the SEC needs to rethink its social media rules. And there are probably other examples out there, once you start looking. The Street noted that Tesla's CEO recently announced the company was cash-flow positive in a tweet, for instance.

The complaint filed last week by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights asking the U.S. Department of Education to bar the use of Indian nicknames and imagery by Michigan high schools is a classic case of government overreaction, an attempt to use legal brute force to solve a problem best addressed by dialogue. But while this isn't one of America's burning issues, it does reflect our attitudes toward race and ethnicity and it definitely merits public debate.
The use of American Indian nicknames and mascots is a complex question. Some are clearly offensive, others are neutral and some are even approved by Native American tribes. However, as a rule, white Americans who blithely adopt for their own entertainment images from a minority group, especially one as persecuted through history as Native Americans, are likely to offend that group. The portrayals are almost inevitably one-dimensional caricatures, perpetuating old stereotypes. Too many people who would never dream of wearing blackface or a serape and sombrero abandon their good judgment when it comes to Native Americans, reducing an entire culture to war paint and feathered headdresses. If you wouldn't flaunt these images on a reservation, then they're not appropriate in a Michigan high school either.
We cringe when see Atlanta Braves fans doing the "tomahawk chop," hear the name of the NFL team from Washington, D.C. (knowing "redskins" is a racial epithet to many Native Americans) or see white students dancing around the field in faux-Indian regalia as was long done at the University of Illinois. In other cases though, the Indian references are benign. At Saugatuck High School, one of the 35 Michigan high schools identified in the Department of Civil Rights complaint, no one dresses as an Indian, the block "S'' is the team symbol and the only Native American image is the one painted on the gymnasium wall. We can't see any racial discrimination there. The Native American names of some schools, such as the Central Michigan University Chippewas, are even approved by local tribes. (Notably, CMU does not use any Native American characters or images, just the Chippewa name.)
But if some people object, why persist with the names? Of course, there's the natural resistance to having other people tell you what to do, but beyond that the justifications are flimsy. Tradition is often cited, though most Indian nicknames were adopted long after Native Americans were eradicated from areas where they are supposedly "honored." Sports fans can hold on fiercely to seemingly trivial traditions, as we saw locally in another vein when alums and students grew very concerned about which school would inherit the Chix nickname when Zeeland High split. But traditions can evolve.
Some people call the nicknames "tributes," as if plastering an Indian head on the side of a football helmet makes us appreciate Native American culture. If we really want to celebrate Native American culture, we should do a better job of teaching Native American history.
Others say the Indian names are equivalent to those like the Hope College Flying Dutchmen or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. That comparison ignores the important fact that those names weren't imposed by other ethnic groups, but adopted by Dutch-Americans and Irish-Americans for their own use. That's a big difference.
The bottom line to us is that even if a school isn't perpetuating stereotypes and is trying to act responsibly, there isn't much upside to using Indian names and symbols. What positive effects does that particular name bring? When you strip away the associated images, you're left with a meaningless word, so why bother calling yourselves the Indians, Chiefs or Warriors when there are so many other options?
We should put this issue in the past, not by court order or government edict, but by schools voluntarily changing names and symbols that directly or indirectly caricature a minority group. It's not a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of showing respect to fellow Americans.

My attempt at being healthy has failed me. It's been a long time since I can remember being excited to eat well. Actually, to be fair, I can't remember a time I was ever excited to eat well. Sure, I force myself to eat apples as a mid morning snack while at work. Sure, I'll eat almonds and rice cakes in the afternoon, but if you put a bag of peanut M&M's in front of my face, I'd choose them every single time over the healthy alternative. That's just who I am. I can't hide it.
So you'd imagine my surprise when my mother-in-law made a fruit pizza while visiting us a few weeks back. I took one bite and thought I'd gone to heaven. (Just so you know, I'd never tasted the likes of the fruit pizza…) Sister quickly pointed out that the crust of said pizza was made of…sugar cookie dough.
Are you kidding me?
Is there anything more brilliant?
Cookie dough as crust.
I was hooked.
So the other day, I set forth to make this glorious pizza. And you'll be happy to know that I snacked on the fruits while making it! I know, total insanity. I even went so far as to chop up extra strawberries to eat with cereal.
If you feel the need to be naughty but feel like you're being healthy because there's the slightest bit of fresh fruit involved…then this recipe is for you.
Fruit Pizza
1 pkg sugar cookie dough (16.5 oz), softened
1 pkg cream cheese (8 oz), softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup apricot jelly (or apple jelly)
1/4 cup water
fruits: amounts vary to your own personal liking
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup diced fresh peaches
To make:
Heat oven to 350°F.
Grease 12-inch pizza pan or spray with cooking spray.
Press softened cookie dough into the pan until it forms a crust.
Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool pizza completely, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla with a mixer on low speed until thoroughly combined. (Feel free to taste test to make sure.)
*Heat jelly over low heat, adding water. Bring to a rolling boil. Set aside.
Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled crust.
Spread apricot jelly/water mixture on top of cream cheese mix.
Arrange fruit to top it off.
Chill for an hour.
Store in refrigerator.
*You can omit this step if you like and just spread the jelly over the cream cheese, but I wanted a slightly less thick version.
Now you can almost feel good about your dessert choice.
