I don't have any atheist friends or anything. So I would like to maybe make a couple of friends that live near me that I could actually go to their house and have dinner [and] not have to pray before eating. I can actually be the same as them and not have their parents hate me or whatever because I'm an atheist.

I believe that lots of people only follow a religion because of parental and cultural pressure and that they would be happier if they could be true to themselves and lead godless lives. Belief in god is not something that comes naturally to all of us; many of us find it impossible to believe in god and it can be liberating and life-enhancing to fully embrace this lack of belief and live our lives without religion.

FFRF parish exemption case clears hurdle
A district court in Madison, Wis., gave the green light to the right of FFRF's nonbelieving directors to challenge the parish exemption giving preferential tax benefits to "ministers of the gospel."
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb, Western District of Wisconsin, issued a strong 20-page opinion and order Aug. 29 granting standing to FFRF's plaintiffs to pursue their challenge of the 1954 law. Plaintiffs are Co-Presidents Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor and President Emerita Anne Gaylor.
FFRF v. USA was filed in September 2011. FFRF first challenged the parish exemption in district court in Sacramento in 2009 with 21 FFRF members named as federal taxpayers in a case destined for the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. A ruling on taxpayer standing in an unrelated Supreme Court ruling forced FFRF to withdraw the suit in 2011.
FFRF then refiled in Wisconsin, challenging the statute's injury to FFRF's paid directors, who receive part of their salaries designated as a housing allowance, yet are unable to benefit from it as ministers are.
"We're very pleased that the court has acknowledged our injury and right to sue over this," said Barker, ironically a former minister who previously qualified for and used housing allowance benefits. Barker is not accorded the same privilege as director of an atheist/agnostic organization, which shows governmental favoritism of religion over nonreligion. Barker calls the statute a subsidy rather than an accommodation of religion.
FFRF seeks a declaration that the federal statute creating the parish exemption violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. FFRF is asking the court to enjoin the tax benefits exclusively given for ministers of the gospel under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 that 26 U.S.C. §107.
"Because it is clear from the face of the statute that plaintiffs are not entitled to the exemption, I see no reason to make their standing contingent on the futile exercise of making a formal claim with the IRS," Crabb ruled. She wrote that "there is no plausible argument that plaintiffs could make that they qualify as 'ministers of the gospel,' so it would be pointless to require plaintiffs to jump through the hoop of filing a claim to prove that they are not entitled to the exemption."
She dismissed as "another straw man" the government's characterization of the FFRF directors' injury as mere "disagreement with the government's claim." Crabb wrote, "It is undoubtedly true that plaintiffs object to §107 because they believe it violates the Establishment Clause and that this may be the primary reason they filed the lawsuit, but that is not the injury plaintiffs are alleging for the purpose of showing standing."
The exemptions permit clergy to deduct from their taxable income housing allowances furnished as part of compensation. Congress in 1954 amended the tax code to permit all clergy to exempt their housing costs from their taxable income. U.S. Rep. Peter Mack, author of the amendment, declared:
"Certainly, in these times when we are being threatened by a godless and antireligious world movement we should correct this discrimination against certain ministers of the gospel who are carrying on such a courageous fight against this foe. Certainly this is not too much to do for these people who are caring for our spiritual welfare."
The statute defines the gross income of a minister of the gospel as not including "the rental value of a home furnished to him as part of his compensation," or "the rental allowance paid to him as part of is compensation, to the extent used by him to rent or provide a home and to the extent such allowance does not exceed the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances such as a garage, plus the cost of utilities."
The exclusion can be used by ministers for virtually all of the costs of home ownership, including down payment on a home; home mortgage payments, including interest and principal; real estate taxes; personal property taxes; fire and homeowners liability insurance; rental payments and cost of acquiring a home (i.e., legal fees, bank fees, title fees, etc.).
Crabb's ruling means FFRF's lawsuit will go forward to be argued on its merits. FFRF is being represented by attorney Richard L. Bolton
Thou shalt honor thy First Amendment!
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has announced its intention to sue two Pennsylvania school districts in federal court after neither met a deadline to remove illegal Ten Commandment markers on school property.
FFRF had warned both districts that without notification by Sept. 7 that they were removing the monuments, FFRF would sue. FFRF has hired Pennsylvania counsel and has parent plaintiffs in both districts. Attorney Marcus Schneider of Pittsburgh wrote the districts Aug. 29 on behalf of FFRF, noting that the Ten Commandment monuments "will not withstand judicial scrutiny."
In response, the Connellsville Area School District grudgingly agreed to remove its 5-foot-tall monument near the Junior High School East auditorium entrance. The district placed plywood over the front of the monument. After some in the community raised a fuss, the school board declined to vote Sept. 12 to remove the monument, so a lawsuit is imminent.
A suit is also being prepared against New Kensington-Arnold School District, which FFRF Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott first contacted last March. The similar granite bible monument prominently displayed at Valley High School is at the school entrance. It sits between two footpath bridges leading from the parking lot to the main entrance.
"The permanent display of the Ten Commandments in front of a New Kensington-Arnold school violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Courts have continually held that public schools may not display religious messages or iconography," wrote Elliott. He cited the Supreme Court decision (Stone v. Graham, 1980) that ruled posting the Ten Commandments in schools violates the Establishment Clause: "The preeminent purpose for posting the Ten Commandments on schoolroom walls is plainly religious in nature."
The New Kensington marker is a Catholic version of the Ten Commandments (with no reference to "graven images").
His letter also cited Justice Stephen Breyer's observation that Ten Commandments displays have no place "on the grounds of a public school, where, given the impressionability of the young, government must exercise particular care in separating church and state."
"The school districts deserve an 'F' in civics," says FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. "Instead of protecting the freedom of conscience of students, they are sending a message that the First Amendment is trumped by the First Commandment. Contrary to the First Commandment, a school district has no business telling students and their parents which god to have, how many gods to have or whether to have any gods at all!"
FFRF has more than 18,500 nonreligious members nationwide. It's currently suing over the declaration by the Pennsylvania House that 2012 is "the Year of the Bible." That federal suit is being brought by attorney Richard Bolton behalf of FFRF and its 700 Pennyslvania members, including 41 named state members, and its chapter, Nittany Freethought.
Intern foils crank mailer

What I do here: I research complaints and legal issues and draft letters to people violating the First Amendment.
What I like best about it: Gaining legal experience while working toward something I'm passionate about.
Something funny that's happened at work: Someone wrote us a piece of "anonymous" crank mail through the online complaint form, taunting us that his restaurant gave free meals to Christians and daring us to find him. However, he included his email address, so another intern and I were able to track him down immediately online, figuring out his name, restaurant, P.O. Box and phone number in a matter of minutes. We're still thinking of the best ways we could put this information to use.
My legal interests are: Still being figured out, but include constitutional law, environmental law and family law.
My legal hero is: Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
These three words sum me up: Intelligent, snarky, optimistic.
Things I like: Books, good TV, politics, the Green Bay Packers, playing the violin, cats, indie music, living in Madison, concerts, Wisconsin beer and fall weather.
Things I smite: Irrationality, the crickets infesting my apartment and people who chew with their mouths open.
Second 'War of Northern Aggression?'
FFRF's major successes in ending entrenched illegal prayer practices in many Southern public schools are attracting the attention of the Religious Right.
Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association, a Christian group based in Tupelo, Miss., charged in a rambling broadcast Aug. 22 that FFRF has launched a "second War of Northern Aggression." (The term is used by some Southerners to describe the Civil War.)
Fischer's remarks came after publicity over FFRF's complaint that persuaded a Mississippi public school to obey the law and stop broadcasting prayers over its P.A. system before football games. Fischer mused about FFRF's legal strategy, imagining it to be, "Let's get rid of every trace of religious liberty in the South, and we can do it because these people will not fight back. And again the Freedom From Religion Foundation, based in Wisconsin, and this is the second War of Northern Aggression and they're winning this thing."
FFRF has also followed up on Walker County Schools' response to FFRF's request to investigate unusual constitutional violations by Ridgeland [Ga.] High School football coach Mark Mariakis. Although praising the superintendent's "commitment to upholding the Constitution," the response raised lingering concerns.
Attorney Andrew Seidel's Aug. 21 letter detailed allegations that FFRF had received over several egregious sports/church entanglements at Ridge-land. Most notable was the coach taking public school football teams to pregame church meals where prayers are recited.
It was also alleged that Mariakis regularly prayed with his teams, had pressured students to attend a "Christian football camp" and that the team had adopted a "team chaplain."
Superintendent Damon Raines responded Aug. 30 that "the district will not have a team chaplain nor will school officials or employees, including coaches, organize, lead or participate in any prayers. Staff will also refrain from participating in the [Fellowship of Christian Athletes]." The district said pregame meals will no longer include "religious references."
Seidel replied Sept. 11 that "taking public school teams to church still involves constitutional concerns." Quoting legal precedent that bars public schools from holding graduations in churches, he argued that regardless of the purpose in choosing to have a pregame meal in a church, "the sheer religiosity of the space create[s] a likelihood that high school students . . . would perceive a link between church and state."
FFRF is alarmed over Mariakis' attendance at a Sept. 9 "Rally to Pray" held to "keep prayer in the practices and before games." Seidel said, "It seems to send a message that he is unrepentant and hostile to First Amendment limitations on his proselytizing."
FFRF wants the district to investigate the coach's remarks and the rally and to "ensure that Mariakis understands he cannot use his position as coach to 'share the Gospel' with his team and other public students."
FFRF also noted that it appears that school buses are taking players, coaches and staff from the school to churches for meals. FFRF further requested a response to an unanswered allegation from its original complaint that the football program has used the bible as a motivational tool.
FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor added, "When a public school district has permitted unconstitutional practices to flourish for years, it creates a climate of intolerance. We see that intolerance in the community's reaction to our reasonable request to ensure that student rights of conscience, and Supreme Court precedent, are honored in Walker County schools."
FFRF's 'Spotlight on Freethought' on public TV
A short first-of-its-kind feature spot, "Spotlight on Freethought and the First Amendment," produced in conjunction with the Freedom From Religion Foundation, started airing Aug. 18 on select national public television affiliates.
The spot is guaranteed to air 500 times in the next three months and reach an estimated 3 million people. A four-minute version and one of 5:30 will run interchangeably. When and where the short program, used as filler, will run can't be announced beforehand. Public TV affiliates decide which fillers are needed on the day they run.
If you catch one of the spots on your local public TV affiliate, please be sure to contact the affiliate promptly to say thank you and to encourage rebroadcast.
This is believed to be the first such segment featuring discussion of freethought, atheism and focus on the specific dangers of mixing state and church. The description sent to affiliates reads:
"America has more diversity, faiths, religions and cultures than any other country in the world. And yet we all seem to get along pretty well. Only in a country where we can be free of religion in our government can we then be free to practice our own or choose not to follow any faith.
"This segment focuses on our freedom to practice our faith, or no faith — exactly as we want."
The narrator says, "More wars have been waged, more people killed, in the name of religion than by any other institutional force in human history. So with such wildly contrasting beliefs in this country, why aren't we at each other's throats? Here's why. It's our Constitution and its very core of freedom from religion. Our country was founded in part by refugees seeking freedom, seeking to escape centuries of religious persecutions, holy inquisitions, witch hunts."
The four-minute version talks about the benefits of the United States' secular form of government, defines "freethought" and includes brief interviews with FFRF Co-Presidents Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor.
Gaylor, a co-founder of FFRF, says on-camera:
"The United States of America was the first nation where our founders did not claim a pipeline to a divinity. It was a revolutionary act that they created a secular and entirely godless Constitution whose only references to religion are exclusionary, that there shall be no religious test for public office. The founders were aware of the inquisitions and the pogroms and the religious wars and the terrors in Europe, and the persecutions in many of the individual colonies — and they wanted no part of that. And so they erected what Thomas Jefferson called the 'wall of separation between church and state,' and that protects all of us. It has prevented the bloodshed and warfare that we see in so many parts of the world where religion is involved in government."
Barker adds, "There are some believers that don't see the difference between neutrality and hostility. They think efforts of groups like ours to keep the government neutral are also a hostile act against their faith, when we're not asking for the government to be pro-atheistic either. If the government stays neutral, the government stays secular, then everybody's an insider, nobody's an outsider."
The longer spot features a bonus: an interview with Pitzer College professor Phil Zuckerman, a leading expert on "secularity" and how secular societies measure up favorably to religious nations. Zuckerman is an FFRF member and author of many books, including Society Without God.
As a bonus, a version that is over seven minutes — including additional interview footage of Dan talking about freethought, morality and purpose in life -— has been posted at FFRF's website and can be viewed now on FFRF's homepage at ffrf.org/.
Watch for little "cameos," including appearances by Darwin, Einstein and Susan B. Anthony, shots of some mementos at FFRF's office, Freethought Hall, a powerful quote by Mark Twain about the witch hunts, photographs of the Reason Rally crowd by Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel and of FFRF Staffer Katie Daniel giving the Westboro Baptists thumbs down when they picketed an FFRF event.
"We warmly thank members who contributed to our PR Campaign Fund as part of the spring membership appeal, whose generosity made possible the filming and airing of this first-of-its-kind segment," said Gaylor.
Only the first three months of airing are monitored by Neilsen Ratings, but "Spotlight On" segments often run far longer. The program is not offered as any part of any PBS national program service.
FFRF has been venturing into television this year with nationally airing ads, including one featuring JFK endorsing the separation between church and state, and one by actress Julia Sweeney defending contraception from attack by Catholic bishops.

Country Music Hall of Famer Noble Ray Price, who pioneered a shuffling, rhythmic, honky-tonk sound that has had an impact on country music since the mid-1950s, died Monday, Dec. 16, confirmed Bill Mack, a spokesman for the family. Mr. Price died at age 87, of complications from pancreatic cancer, at his home in Mt. Pleasant, Texas.
Through hits including "Crazy Arms," "City Lights," "My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You" and many others, Mr. Price's full, round voice became one of country's most beloved and instantly identifiable instruments. His expansive musicality allowed him a 65-year career that changed country music and inspired artists including Willie Nelson, George Jones, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.
He developed his signature shuffle in 1956, added elegant orchestration in the 1960s and toured throughout the remainder of his career with bands capable of delivering edgy, early-career sounds and sophisticated 1970s hits including the Grammy-winning "For the Good Times."
"He's our chief," country musician Marty Stuart often said. "Grand Ole Opry" and WSM announcer Eddie Stubbs, a dear friend to Mr. Price and a member of the Disc Jockey Hall of Fame, said, "Ray Price was a member of country music's greatest generation, and he radiated poise, dignity and class."

Maryland's Public Service Commission is looking into complaints that Pepco did not notify some customers, as required, before installing smart meters at their homes.
The digital meters, which transmit usage and other data through radio waves, have been controversial because of concerns over low-level radiation they emit, data security and privacy, and reports that some meter models have overheated and caused fires in some cases.
As part of the PSC order regulating smart-meter installation, Pepco was required to notify customers, by letter, before the meters were installed.
It is not clear how many customers have been affected by what Pepco describes as a glitch in the process that the utility set up and used for the letters, which were sent through a contract mailing house, and the installation, which was handled by a contractor.
PSC spokeswoman Regina Davis said the agency's staff has reviewed 217 complaints related to smart meters. Two of those came in January from customers who said they had not received notice before the meters were installed.
Under a continuing PSC order, electricity customers have the option of notifying the utility if they do not want the radiowave-based meters, but the commission is considering whether customers can keep their analog meters permanently or will have to get a smart meter that can transmit data without using radio waves.
As part of the PSC's ongoing investigation, commission staff will check complaints to ensure that customers who opted out but already had smart meters installed can get them replaced with analog meters.
The Gazette recognized the glitch when a reporter intercepted a meter installer at her home during the first week of January, but did not recall receiving a notice in the mail.
The reporter called Pepco as to whether the utility knew of a problem, and a spokesman said officials were looking into it.
Almost three weeks after the smart meter was installed on the exterior of the house, a letter, dated Jan. 15, arrived at the reporter's residence announcing that a smart meter would be installed in the "next several weeks."
The reporter found several other customers who said they had not received letters before Pepco sent an installer to switch them to a smart meter.
"That's not the way the process was supposed to work," said Pepco spokesman Marcus Beal, who said he helped manage Pepco's smart-meter project.
Beal said the company has had few complaints about the 800,000 smart meters it has installed.
On Pepco's website, the utility told customers they would get a notification letter one to four weeks before the meter swap.
Peter Hmel of Gaithersburg said he had not received a letter the first time a meter installer showed up at his house, but said he got a letter just before an installer returned with the equipment needed to put in the new meter.
"In any case, it was not enough notice," Hmel said.
Stephen Mabon of Gaithersburg said he did not recall receiving a letter and did not know a new meter had been installed outside his home until a reporter called.
In December, Pepco said it would miss its goal of having all smart meters installed by the end of 2012, but expected to have 95 percent placed by the end of January.
The meters have been touted for their ability to notify the utility of outages and for the potential to help customers track and manage their electricity use.

I found out about Bookmark Docs through a thread here.
From the site:
Bookmark Docs lets you precisely "bookmark" any places in various documents and then quickly return to them whenever you need, and do all that in a unified manner. Add bookmarks and hyperlinks to Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CHM, and MSDN documents, and to Web pages.
I've seen many bookmark managers over the years (and have bought more than a few), and haven't found anything that really satisfied my needs, so the idea was interesting to me. The installation was professional and seamless, though you will want to pay attention to the options at the end; Bookmark Docs by default does not put an icon on the desktop, but does want to run at startup, so set your options accordingly.
When you first run bookmark docs, you are presented with a pretty simple interface.
It shows a list of your currently available windows in applications that are supported as links, a link to add a manually created link, and a list of supported applications at the bottom- a welcome bit of foresight. When you click one of the links, you are presented with a dialog that shows what will get created. You can also expand the bottom portion to show a bit more detail about where the link will be stored (more on that later), and what the actual link to the document is. Just conjecture, but it appears that an absolute link is stored along with a relative link, so I'm not sure what the ramifications of changing one or the other is. There is also a place to tag your links- the usual sort of tag rules apply, i.e. word tags, separated by commas. A drop down showing the tags that you have used before is available, though one oversight is that you can't add/remove more than one tag in this manner. If you want to have more than one tag, you have to type it in yourself.
Once the bookmark is added, the other tab shows a list of the bookmarks. It has an incremental search, also, so that you can search when your list of bookmarks (inevitably) becomes too large for the screen to display.
There is also a taskbar notification icon that allows you to invoke the add window, or to add a bookmark link to your active window. I did note that if you are in an unsupported application, the application that appeared in this window seemed random; there might be logic behind it that I haven't yet figured out.
There is also access to the help documentation (online only), and the Bookmark Manager. This is where the more advanced aspects of Bookmark Docs can be found.
In this window, you have a breakdown of the tags that have been used in links, and the ability to filter based on those tags. You can also drag tags to links in order to quickly tag them. Renaming tags is also possible from this interface. The more exciting option is hinted at by the bottom window in the interface. You can load different bookmark files, so that you can have more than one set of bookmarks. One list of bookmarks can be kept in a version control system, or on dropbox to sync between machines/users, and the other kept private to your machine. The application also supports copying the url of the documents (in full or shortened format), so that you can use other applications to manage the syncing of links, such as google bookmarks.
In practice, I've found the linking mechanism to be quite reliable, even if I've found quirks in certain applications. Web pages and PDF files work splendidly. In Word documents, in 2003 documents, the link shows up at the top of the application when you are taken to the page, but less conveniently, in 2007 documents, the selected location shows at the bottom of the screen. Not a crippling issue, just a little less than optimal.
Suggestions for Improvement
The interface for accessing documents is a little less accessible than I'd like. Though it's definitely easy to bring up the document links, I think that a shortcut menu of your most accessed links on the taskbar notification icon, and perhaps shortcuts to them would be a definitely welcome improvement. The ability to copy links out of the application, however, might possibly mitigate this; I will have to see how it works in practice with other productivity applications that I use to speed up the launching of documents and applications.
Comparison to other apps
I've used a few bookmark managers over the years, and the bookmarking facilities included in several other applications. I have to say that this is the most slick implementation, from adding bookmarks, to the tagging of them. The ability to bookmark a certain area in a document is especially great, as many times I have to reference certain parts of a document, and finding it each time that the document is opened does reduce productivity.
I foresee that this will become one of those applications that I come to rely on heavily. Though there are a few niggling areas that could be enhanced, it does what it sets out to do, and really is a timesaver. I give it my recommendation.

Nico Rosberg secured the opening win of the season in Australia while for Daniel Ricciardo and Kevin Magnussen it was a first visit to the podium...
Nico Rosberg: "That was an incredible day for us. To start the season with a win is unbelievable and I have to say a big thank you to everybody who was involved in building our car over the winter. I always dreamed of having such a strong Silver Arrow and now it seems we are there. In the race, everything went perfectly for me. My start was great and I was able to push from there until the end, with our fuel consumption well under control. However, despite our success today, we also know that there is still some work to do. We saw over the weekend that reliability is still a concern and it prevented us from having a strong two-car finish. We have two weeks to improve that. I am very much looking forward to Malaysia and I would love to race again tomorrow!"
Lewis Hamilton: "My start didn't feel great today and I had a lot less power than usual when pulling away, so it was obvious immediately that something was wrong. It looks like we only had five cylinders firing and, while I wanted to keep going, we had to play safe and save the engine. It's unfortunate but that's racing and we will recover from this. We have a great car and engine, and the pace was really strong today as Nico clearly showed. Big congratulations to him and the team for achieving the win, it's a fantastic result for us. Of course I'm disappointed with my own race and when I think about all the work that has gone on back at our factories, it's tough to have a costly hiccup. However we have achieved an incredible amount to get here, to be at the front and to be so competitive; we will bounce back and learn from this. There is a very long way to go this season."
Red Bull:
Daniel Ricciardo: Still to be released
Sebastian Vettel: Still to be released
Kevin Magnussen: "It's just fantastic to be on the podium! What happened today just feels surreal. Being on the podium in the first race of my Formula 1 career - it's amazing. My 'moment' at the start was quite scary - I got on the power a bit too quickly, and nearly lost it. But the car was fantastic today - I was always able to place it exactly where I wanted, and I had the pace to fight the Red Bull. I had a bit of a go at Daniel towards the ends of the race, but didn't quite have the speed to get past. I want to say a big congratulations to the team for doing such a good job over the winter and for working so hard to prepare me for this - it's just crazy! Where do we go from here? Well, we need to continue improving. And I'm sure we will. I'll try to learn as much as I can, and to carry this experience forward to Malaysia. It's a completely different circuit, so there's no guarantee we'll have the sort of speed we showed here today, but I'm sure the team will keep pushing as hard as they've done already this year. I'm very happy, and I'm sure the guys are happy to be leading the constructors' world championship, as indeed I am too. That's a big boost, and the guys completely deserve it. Me? I'll just keep pushing as hard as I can."
Jenson Button: "It was a great drive by Kevin today - I had a lot of fun chasing him and Daniel down at the end of the race, but my tyres were several laps older than theirs, so it was always going to be tricky. Still, I had a good race - the car's balance wasn't quite right when I was in traffic - I struggled with understeer when I was behind people - but the car worked very well in clear air. For some reason, it seems to be more difficult to overtake now than it used to be, so we had to do it during the pit stops. During my second stop, we damaged the nose - which made it a bit cooler in the cockpit! - but the guys did a great job of putting me in the right place at the right time. When the Safety Car came out, I quickly dived into the pit lane at the last second - which gained me a couple of places. And then the second stop gained me a couple more. They were both great calls. As a team, I think we can be very proud of the job we did today. I don't think we expected to be leading the constructors' world championship at the end of this weekend, but I think the pace in the car is generally there: in clear air, we seem capable of fighting every team except one. I'm really looking forward to getting back in the car in Malaysia. It's been an emotional day for me, but it's been great to have my sister, my fiancée and lots of friends around me, so that definitely helped."
Fernando Alonso: "I'd have liked to start the season with a podium, but getting both cars to the flag is a good result, which can give us confidence, especially on the reliability front. I had some problems with the electric motor at the start and had to make a few changes from the steering wheel, but after the first ten laps everything went well. When I managed to pass Hulkenberg after the pit stop my pace was definitely better, although it was impossible to overtake. 35 seconds down on the leader is too big a gap and to work out what we need to do to close that gap, we will need to analyse the race, work out what are the strong and weak points on the car and with that in mind, the laps I did behind Nico can provide very useful information. We are a great team and I have total faith in our guys, because they did a great job today. We still have lots to learn about this new Formula 1, as the race was very strange and very difficult. But it's only the start. We must concentrate on doing better in Malaysia."
Kimi Raikkonen: "That wasn't a straightforward race. At the start, I managed to get away well and even though I was hit from behind by another car at the first corner, my car was undamaged. The speed was good, but at one point I was suffering with graining on the front tyres, I had very little grip and a lot of understeer. From then on, the car's handling was not the same. When it was time for the first stop, we had to do a double stop and that cost me a place. It's definitely too early to make any definite judgement, because even if at the moment we don't seem to be in great shape, we still managed to finish the race, scoring valuable points. We can't be pleased with this result and we know there are many areas where we need to improve. But I'm sure that analysing the data from this first race will give us a clearer idea of the direction to work in."

- For the pastry, put the flour, butter, icing sugar, egg yolk (save the white for the meringue) and 1 tbsp cold water into a food processor. Using the pulse button so the mix is not overworked, process until the mix starts to bind. Tip the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, gather together until smooth, then roll out and line a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottom fluted flan tin. Trim and neaten the edges. Press pastry into flutes. The pastry is quite rich, so don't worry if it cracks, just press it back together. Prick the base with a fork, line with foil, shiny side down, and chill for 1⁄2-1 hour (or overnight).
- Put a baking sheet in the oven and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Bake the pastry case 'blind' (filled with dry beans) for 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake a further 5-8 mins until the pastry is pale golden and cooked. Set aside. (Can be done a day ahead if you want to get ahead.) Lower the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
- While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling: mix the cornflour, sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Strain and stir in the lemon juice gradually. Make orange juice up to 200ml/7fl oz with water and strain into the pan. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Once the mixture bubbles, remove from the heat and beat in the butter until melted. Beat the egg yolks (save white for meringue) and whole egg together, stir into the pan and return to a medium heat. Keep stirring vigorously for a few minutes, until the mixture thickens and plops from the spoon. (It will bubble, but doesn't curdle.) Take off the heat and set aside while you make the meringue.
- Put the egg whites in a large bowl. Whisk to soft peaks, then add half the sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking between each addition without overbeating. Whisk in the cornflour, then add the rest of the sugar as before until smooth and thick. Quickly reheat the filling and pour it into the pastry case. Immediately put spoonfuls of meringue around the edge of the filling (if you start in the middle the meringue may sink), then spread so it just touches the pastry (this will anchor it and help stop it sliding). Pile the rest into the centre, spreading so it touches the surface of the hot filling (and starts to cook), then give it all a swirl. Return to the oven for 18-20 mins until the meringue is crisp and slightly coloured. Let the pie sit in the tin for 30 mins, then remove and leave for at least another 1⁄2-1 hr before slicing. Eat the same day.

Comments, questions and tips
This was delicious, though between the two of us we couldn't eat it all in a day! That didn't matter though, as the filling was too runny at first (it didn't reduce far enough to be solid until it had been in the fridge for 24 hours or so) so it was even better the next day. Next time I'll reduce the amount of liquid in the filling, and perhaps also the amount of sugar in the meringue as it was MUCH too sweet for my taste. My sweet-toothed boyfriend loved it though, so I may have a fight on my hands :)
Amazing! I made this yesterday and was told that it was better than what my Nan used to make! She was an amazing cook so that's saying something! You think it's going to be sweet and sickly, but it's so light it melts in your mouth! Definitely one to make when you have guests for dinner. Great recipe!
Fantastic result! This was the second time I've ever made a lemon meringue pie and it was a brilliant success!! I agree with the reviewer who advised that the filling took about 6-7 minutes to thicken, so be prepared to be patient. I'm usually nervous when I make something that needs to thicken and often add too much cornflower or arrowroot, but this recipe is perfect. I used arrowroot rather than cornstarch as that's what I had to hand, adjusting arrowroot to 2.5 tsp to 1 Tbsp of cornflower. Thank you BBC Good Food for testing and proving such a great recipe!

Now, I expected to get on here and see everyone laughing at AJ slamming the RATS board. Come on guys!!!

I was going to say that when I saw "24 seconds" and AJ in the same thread title, and a reply from Ragnar....
I was really intrigued.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

Hard to disagree about the Indystar, though. That place has gone downhill since the Pistons moved in.
Speaking of which, I've seen quite a few Stones fans signing up on this board, although so far they seem to be lurking.
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
They all follow in the footsteps of the great Kstat.
Maybe an official 'Celebrities Post Here' thread?
Ok, maybe not.
We should have someone post on Indystar...a topic among the lines of "AJ - read here instead" and spam the Pacers Digest link
That's so cool that those guys read message boards like these.
I hope he has a better impression of PD.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

ETSU Women's Soccer Wins in Double Overtime Against Radford, 1-0
Friday, September 12, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (September 12, 2003) - Sophomore Erin Ashton (New Bern, N.C.) scored in the sixth minute of the second overtime period to give the East Tennessee State Buccaneers (4-0-0 overall, 0-0-0 SoCon) their victory tonight over the Radford Highlanders (2-2-0 overall, 0-0-0 Big South) at Liberty Bell Field. "There are two things that you can expect at an ETSU game against Radford," said head coach Heather Henson, "It will always be exciting and it will always be physical." Both teams fought hard, but were held scoreless in regulation play and in the first overtime period. At 106:02, Andrea Brown (High Point, N.C.) made a direct kick to Ashton who headed the ball into the back of the net past Highlander keeper Tara Oleartchick for the game-winning goal. "It was a great job overall," said head coach Heather Henson. "Our ladies defended as a unit, attacked as a unit, had numbers behind the ball, and won air balls which helped us control the pace of the game." ETSU's keeper, Heather Sanden (Manassas, Va.), made seven saves in the night and improved to 4-0-0 in her third shutout of the season. "Preseason fitness led us to this victory and to our fourth team shutout of the season," commented Henson. Women's soccer will face UNC Asheville on Monday, September 15th, before hosting the College of Charleston on Friday, Sept. 19th at 7:00 p.m.

Horse Lords' debut LP, released this September by Ehse Records, is fantastic. Today's track, "Wildcat Strike," forms the first half of the album, which comprises two sidelong cuts.
Andrew Bernstein, Max Eilbacher, Owen Gardner, and Sam Haberman had played in various experimental groups in Baltimore before forming Horse Lords—Bernstein, Gardner and Eilbacher had previously played together in Teeth Mountain (check out this review in the Baltimore City Paper for more background on the band's early days). Ehse's blurb about the record probably puts it better than I could, so I'll quote it: "The band transmutes experimental tactics (polyrhythm, arcane tunings and modular synthesis) into direct, muscular and surprisingly funky songs."
If you like it, head over to Ehse's site where you can freely stream and download all of the labels releases; they're also available for purchase on LP and CDr.

If you're a true road warrior, spending weeks at a time away from your home base, chances are you're going to need a big case. The last thing anyone wants to happen is to break a shaft or pop a tip and not have a backup shaft ready to go. These models provide enough room for three full cues and shafts with four extra shaft slots for spare and backup shafts.
In addition to all the space for your shafts and butts, most 3x7 cases include ample pockets so you can carry all your accessories with ease as well as a separate jumper pocket to store your jump butt.
