Starting November 8, several traffic and bus changes are coming to intersections and streets in the Fort Greene area and around the Atlantic/Flatbush/3rd/4th Avenue hub.
The changes also include two bus routes – the B103 and the B37 as they travel through this hub.
Representatives form the city Department of Transportation (DOT) explained the changes at last week's Community Board 2 Transportation Committee meeting.
Under the changes, Hanson Place, which runs in front of the former Williamsburg Bank Building, will no longer be accessible to vehicular traffic from the 4th Avenue and Flatbush Avenue intersection, as a median will be constructed.
Additionally, Hanson Place will be converted to a two-way street between Ashland Place and South Portland Avenue.
Third Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue will be converted to a one-way northbound. Additionally, motorists traveling on Third Avenue will now be permitted to make a left turn onto Atlantic Avenue.
The making of Third Avenue one-way will force the rerouting of the B37 and B103 to Fourth Avenue in this stretch of roadway.
Also being closed is the west slip of Flatbush Avenue at Temple Square where 4th Avenue, Flatbush Avenue and Ashland Place meet up just south of State Street.
Additionally, the DOT will eliminate possible head-on conflicts by converting South Elliot Place to one-way southbound, and Academy Park Place to one-way eastbound.
Currently, both these thoroughfares are one-way northbound south of Hanson Place.
The timing of signal crossing for pedestrians is also being increased at several intersections along the Flatbush and 4th Avenue crossings.
According to the DOT website, pedestrians now encounter conflicts with vehicles accessing Hanson Place/Ashland Place from both 4th Avenue and Flatbush Avenue.
The DOT will also create a raised sidewalk between Flatbush Avenue and the intersection of Hanson Place/Ashland Place, which will protect pedestrians accessing Atlantic Terminal, One Hanson Place, and other destinations in this growing part of Downtown Brooklyn.
Following the presentation, committee members and CB 2 District Manager Rob Perris pointed out that traffic agents in the area are apt to follow their own ideas in moving traffic instead of following the new signal phasing.
Shirley McRae, the former CB 2 Chair and current borough representative to the city Planning Commission, came to complain about the changes in Fort Greene.
The DOT should have talked to the community before deciding on what changes are made, said McRae.
Perris said that CB 2 Transportation Committee members told him they were disappointed that there wasn't more of a dialogue before these implementations were decided upon.
"The committee was by and large quite pleased with what was presented, but why couldn't this be presented three months earlier?" questioned Perris.
"That would give the DOT time to build community buy-in, and more fully incorporate community feedback," he added.

Although this modern trailer for The Last Starfighter may have you itching for a remake, it doesn't look likely. Quite a few people have tried getting the rights to the film with no luck. The list of those who have tried and failed includes Gary Whitta, Seth Rogen, and even Steven Spielberg.
The news came via a tweet from Seth Rogen in which he revealed Spielberg personally told him that he'd had no luck getting the rights. Following the trail of tweets, it all comes back to the film's writer, Jonathan R. Betuel, who has no interest in seeing the movie revived. It's easy to understand why he is protective of the movie, but it'd still be nice to see what could be done with the film today in the right hands.
See Rogen's tweet after the break.
@slashfilm @garywhitta @mbotti @mscriptshadow Spielberg himself told me he couldn't get the rights after I told him how long I'd tried.

The star of YouTube Muscle Worship Sleaze Fest has stopped teasing and started showing. Now if you're a pure muscle fetishist, him flexing and posing was already showing it all (as the cock isn't precisely a muscle). But if you like to see the whole picture, here you go!
The ass is precisely a muscle here. Or about 200 muscles when you're him. Hope all that oil won't make him slip in the shower and hurt his noggin. That means his brain. He has one of those. I swear. It's what he uses to know how to use his body to control men. A wonderful ability.

Coaches have devised a limited plan in an effort to avoid problems with tendonitis which plagued Favre in 2000. Sherman and offensive coordinator Tom Rossley have scheduled in periodic days off for Favre during camp, just as they have the past two seasons.
"We can't forget the fact that he's two seasons removed from tendonitis, and I want to keep abreast of that," Sherman said. "So, we'll be very cautious with him."
Favre said he hasn't experienced a recurrence of the problem because he did not throw much in the past six weeks while at home in Mississippi.
"I feel fine," Favre said. "I'm not trying to go out in preseason games and break any records. I would like to play a little bit. Maybe there's one or two things from last year that you struggled with that you can get better at, I'm always trying to find those things."
A limited role for Favre should result in more reps and more competition in the backup QB derby. Doug Pederson, Craig Nall and Akili Smith will see more on-field time as a result.

I had surgery the day after X-mas. He went under the chin and I was fully awake. I've had muscle weakness on the right side of my mouth causing my smile to look fake and plasticy. I get an odd divet in the middle of my chin as I smile so I now hide my smile with my hand, and when I laugh. Used to be my best feature. My chin from the front looks really strange when I speak or smile. I feel like it's getting tighter as the days go on. I see that my speech is changing and my pronunciation of words is not good. I feel like I constantly have to massage my scar, cheeks, and neck to make the muscles loosen up. The one question I asked my doctor was if this would alter my smile and he said no. I realize it's been 6 months, but I feel like it's getting worse as opposed to better. I actually looked better with swelling. My scar is pretty flat, but should it really hurt if I'm massaging it, including where the wings are down m jawline?
Chin Implant Changed Smile - Schaumburg, IL
I had surgery the day after X-mas. He went under...
Update Dr Visit
So my doctor thinks it's an aggravated nerve on the right side of my mouth. It's only been 5 days since I've seen him and received the Dysport injection and it has really made my smile look better. Although it's temporary, I'm not as embarrassed. Ultimately he needs to reposition the implant, which means, I have to be awake for another surgery. I felt like the first recovery took forever.. I just don't want to go through it all over again. I know I need the large implant, but I may opt for a size smaller just in case. I'd hate to have a revision and not see any improvement again and have ANOTHER surgery just to decrease the size.
One year later...
Still have the same issue after a full year of healing after chin implant surgery. I get Botox to calm the muscles down. It relieves tension when I smile but is still not smooth. I am looking into getting a filler to hide my problem. I still have lots of tightness in the my chin area and discomfort at times. I didn't get a permanent implant to ruin my smile and to have botox and fillers the rest of my life to make it look normal.

Penn Sprint Football on Twitter
PHILADELPHIA - Penn finally will line up for some regular-season snaps at Franklin Field on Friday, as sprint football hosts Mansfield at 7 p.m. After hosting the annual Alumni Game at the beginning of September, the Quakers have twice traveled on the road to open the regular season and return at 1-1.
Both contests have been classics for the Red and Blue - a 24-20 win in the final ten seconds at Franklin Pierce following a heartbreaking 42-34 loss at Cornell in a game requiring six overtimes to decide a winner.
Penn is 4-0 all-time against Mansfield, including a 39-14 win last year at
Franklin Field. Graduated quarterback Todd Busler was the focal point of Penn's offense in that game, throwing for two touchdowns while running for a pair. Penn churned out 502 yards of offense in the game, nearly splits 50-50 between passing (269) and rushing (233).
While it was the offense which put together the quick score in the final seconds against Franklin Pierce last Sunday, Penn's defense put forth a great effort to deny the Ravens from moving the ball all game. Anthony DiBella led the charge for the defense, registering 10 tackles while making two interceptions. One of those picks came on the last play of the game, denying any chance of a Franklin Pierce comeback. Earlier this week, DiBella was named CSFL Defensive Player of the Week for the first time after earning All-CSFL honors each of the three previous seasons.
Whit Shaw could have very well joined his teammate on the weekly honors list after his seven-catch, 146-yard day against the Ravens. 73 of those yards came on one play - the final touchdown Penn needed to record the win - as Shaw increased his lead in the Penn record book. Already ranking first in all-time receiving yards by a Penn sprint football player entering this season, Shaw has accumulated 261 yards receiving in two games this season to bring his total to 2,018 yards. His 146 yards last Sunday were the eighth-most in a single game by a Penn player and give Shaw four of the top ten single-game performances in school history.
The deep threat of Shaw and the power rushing of Mike Beamish provide Penn with a potent 1-2 punch to keep defenses on their toes. Beamish is leading the CSFL in rushing, averaging 5.6 yards-per-carry over his 49 attempts in two games, racking up 273 yards in two games. One thing Beamish is still looking for, however, is his first touchdown of the season as Penn's three rushing touchdowns have come in the arms of Keith Braccia (two) and Joe Raso.
The Red and Blue have dialed up the pressure on defense, forcing 11 sacks as part of 32 total tackles for loss. Ed Cai has led the way in both those categories, registering 2.5 sacks and 4.5 TFLs. When opposing quarterbacks have been able to get a pass off, Penn has intercepted the ball four times and broken up 18 other passes. Look for the Red and Blue to keep the pressure on as Mansfield enters the game averaging 140 yards of total offense over its two outings in 2012.
After a 23-16 win at Princeton to start the season, Mansfield was passed over by Army, 52-6, last weekend. The Mountaineers ran back an Army fumble for 79 yards in the game's first six minutes, and then watched as Army racked up 628 yards of offense - 437 of which came through the air.

Description: To craft informed sermons, pastors scour commentaries that often deal more with minutia than the main point. Or they turn to devotional commentaries, which may contain exegetical weaknesses. The Teach the Text Commentary Series bridges this gap by utilizing the best of biblical scholarship and providing the information a pastor needs to communicate the text effectively. By keeping the discussion of each carefully selected preaching unit to six pages of focused commentary, the volumes in this series allow pastors to quickly grasp the big idea and key themes of each passage of Scripture. The text and its meaning are made clear, and sections dedicated to effectively teaching and illustrating the text help pastors prepare to preach. Full-color illustrations, maps, and photos are included throughout each volume to illustrate the world and events described in the Bible.

Another classic character, Ibuki, is set to join the fray in Street Fighter V. And she's going to mix things up in more ways than one, as her character trailer shows.
As fans would expect, Ibuki has plenty of tricks, new and old, to catch her opponent off-guard. She has a range of target combos, can now glide through the air, and has access to ninja bombs.
The Kunai has been a weapon of choice for some time, but now players have to be more strategic as she has a stock of five, which then have to be replenished. However, she can also fire off five at once for some serious damage.
You can see Ibuki in action, including her V-Skill (Tenrai), V-Trigger (Isshaku Horokudama), and Critical Art (Kachofugetsu) in the trailer below.

Posted on 11/05/2003 10:34:14 AM PST by Valin
You cannot win a war if you do not fight, and you cannot win a peace through inattention. In peace and war, the American response to the violent extremism that so damages the Islamic world has been as halting and reactive as it has been reluctant. We simply do not want to get involved more deeply than necessary. But Muslim extremists are determined to remain involved with us.
We are not at war with Islam. But the most radical elements within the Muslim world are convinced that they are at war with us. Our fight is with the few, but our struggle must be with the many. For decades we have downplayedor simply ignoredthe hate-filled speech directed toward us, the monstrous lessons taught by extremists to children, and the duplicity of so many states we insisted were our friends. But nations do not have friendsat best, they have allies with a confluence of interests. We imagine a will to support our endeavors where there is only a pursuit of advantage. And we deal with cynical, corrupt old men who know which words to say to soothe our diplomats, while the future lies with the discontented young, to whom the poison of blame is always delicious.
Hatred taught to the young seems an ineradicable cancer of the human condition. And the accusations leveled against us by terrified, embittered men fall upon the ears of those anxious for someone to blame for the ruin of their societies, for the local extermination of opportunity, and for the poverty guaranteed by the brute corruption of their compatriots and the selfish choices of their own leaders. Above all, those futureless masses yearn to excuse their profound individual inadequacies and to explain away the prison walls their beliefs have made of their lives.
In late spring 2002, headlines claimed that intelligence leads should have alerted President Bush to impending terrorist attacks prior to 11 September 2001. But a few tips from FBI field offices are easily lost in the colossal noise of government, their value clear only ruefully soin retrospect. Though important tactically, those memos were as nothing compared to the countless warnings we had been given as a strategic drama played out openly before uswhile we willfully shut our eyesfor the last quarter of a century. Islamic extremists never made a secret of their general intent and often were specific in their threats. The tragedies of 9/11 were not so much the result of an intelligence failure as of a collective failure to face the reality confronting us.
Throughout much of the 1990s, intelligence personnel were not quite forbidden to consider religion as a strategic factor, but the issue was considered soft and nebulousas well as potentially embarrassing in those years of epidemic political correctness. Now, of course, religion may be discussed in intelligence circles, if bracketed with careful disclaimers noting that all religions have problems and that we are not bigoted toward any one religion. But what if a great world religion is bigoted toward us? Might we, even now, just wish the hatred and prejudice away?
The time has come for a modest degree of honesty. The good news is that the Islamic world, on its populous, decisive frontiers, is far more hopeful than we might suspect in the wake of recent events. While we must deal with fanatical, soulless killers in the present, Islams future is undecided. The door to a brighter tomorrow has not closedfar from itand millions of Muslims are willing to keep that door open, despite the threats of a legion of fanatics. A struggle of immense proportions and immeasurable importance is under way for the soul of Islam, a mighty contest to decide between a humane, tolerant, and progressive faith, and a hangmans vision of a punitive God and a humankind defined by prohibitions. And we have not even noticed.
We have been looking in the wrong direction, because that is where we have been conditioned to look. This great battlethis war for the future of one of the worlds great religions (and, certainly, its most restive and unfinished)is not being fought in the Arab homelands, which insist upon our attention with the temper of spoiled children, distracting us from better prospects elsewhere. The contest between competing Muslim visions, between those who would turn back the clock and those who believe they must embrace the future, has already been lost in the sands of Arabia. Fortunately, the Arab homelands are far less critical than our policymakers and strategists unthinkingly believe.
Blinded by oil and riveted by the Arab-Israeli conflict, leaders and legislators alike have failed to reexamine their thinking for the past 40 years. Now we must change our beliefs and our behaviors. It is time to write off the Arab homelands of Islam as lost. They are as incapable of constructive change as they are un-willing even to consider liberal transformations. They have been left behind by history and their response has been to blame everyone but themselvesand to sponsor terror (sometimes casually, but often officially). Much of the Arab world has withdrawn into a fortress of intolerance and self-righteousness as psychologically comfortable as it is practically destructive. They are, through their own fault, as close to hopeless as any societies and cultures upon this earth.
Of course, we need not call back our ambassadors from the Middle East, nor could we cease dealing with the oil states entirely. But it is time to shift our focus and our energies, to recognize, belatedly, that Islams center of gravity lies far from Riyadh or Cairo, that it is in fact a complex series of centers of gravity, each more hopeful than the Arab homelands. On its frontiers, from Detroit to Jakarta, Islam is a vivid, dynamic, vibrant, effervescent religion of changing shape and gorgeous potential. But Islams local identities are far from decided in its struggling borderlands, and, in times of tumult, any religion can turn toward the darkness as easily as toward the light.
We should make no mistake: This struggle between religious forms, between prescriptive, repressive doctrine and the sublime adventure of faith, is one of the two great strategic issues of our timealong with the redefinition of the socio-economic roles of women, their transition from being the property of men to being equal partners with men (which is the most profound social development in human history).
The United States will never be the decisive factor in the struggle for the future of Islam. That role is reserved for Muslims themselves. But we can play a far more constructive role than we have yet doneusually on the margins, but sometimes from within unfinished societies. Until now, we have not even bothered to participate.
Our focus on the Middle East has been so exclusive that we have come to see Islam largely through an Arab prism. But the Islam of the Middle East is as fixed, as unreflective, and ultimately as brittle as concrete. We have forgotten that Islam is the youngest of the worlds great religions, that it is still very much a work-in-progress on its vast frontiers, and that its forms are at least as various as the myriad confessions and sects of Christendom.
Driven by the ferocity of events, we have begun to react militarily to the violence in Islams borderlands, from the Caucasus to the Philippines, as well as in that eternal frontier state, Afghanistan. And much more military engagement will be necessary in the future. But our military can address only the problems of the moment, problems rooted in yesterday. We must begin to examine the dilemmas and opportunities of each new day with greater interest, so that we may help (to the degree we can) struggling societies discover paths to a more peaceful, cooperative tomorrow. Whatever we do or fail to do, our military will be busy throughout the lifetimes of anyone reading these freshly printed lines. Success will never be final, but always a matter of degreethough, sometimes, of high degree: the difference between a bloody contest of civilizations and the routine ebb and flow of lesser conflicts.
Our lack of involvementindeed, our lack of interestin Islams efforts to define its character for the 21st century and beyond has abandoned the field to our mortal enemies. Over the past few decades, Middle Eastern oil wealth has been used by the most restrictive, oppressive states to export a regressive, ferociously intolerant and anti-Western form of Islam to mosques and madrassas abroad, from the immigrant quarters of London to the back-country of Indonesia. When we noticed anything at all, we dismissed it as no more than an annoyance, our attitude drifting between the Pollyanna notion that everyone is entitled to his or her own form of religion (no matter if it preaches hatred and praises mass murder) and the serious policymakers view that religion is a tertiary issue, far less instructive and meaningful than GDP numbers or arms deals.
But no other factor is as important as belief in this disturbed and dangerous world. The ease with which todays Americans of diverse faiths interact in social settings has allowed us to forget that our ancestors, in their homelands, massacred one another over the contents of the communion cup, or slaughtered Jews and called it Gods desire, or delivered their faith to their colonies with Bibles and breech-loading rifles. Some even brought their hatreds to our shores, but America conquered their bigotries over the generationsalthough even we have not vanquished intolerance completely. Still, for most contemporary Americans, religion has become as comfortable as it remains comforting. But human history is largely a violent contest of gods and the men who served them, and our age is the latest, intense serial in a saga that shaped our earliest myths and may predate the oldest scraps of folklore.
Religious intolerance always returns in times of doubt and disorder. Our age of immense possibilities is simultaneously one of the breakdown of old orders, of failure in those cultures whose formulae for social organization do not allow effective competition with the worlds leading economic and cultural powers, and of the extreme fanaticism that fear of change sparks in the human heart. Fundamentalist terrorism has not arisen despite the progress the world has made, but because of it.
In times of tumult, men and women cling to what they know. They seek simple answers to daunting complexities. And religious extremists around the world, in every major religion, have been delighted to provide those simple answers. It does not matter if those answers are true, so long as they shift blame from the believers shoulders and promise punishment to enemies, real or imagined. Throughout history, from the days of Jewish rebels against Rome and Islams early and recurrent fractures, through 16th-century Spanish Catholicism alarmed at the advent of alternate paths to salvation, to 19th-century Protestantism startled by Charles Darwin, religions under siege invariably have responded by returning to doctrinal rigor and insisting upon the damnation of nonbelievers. Each major religion has known its share of threats to its philosophical and practical integrity. Our age happens to be a losing era for Islam, when its functionality as a mundane organizing tool has decayed in much of the worldjust as European Christianity had done by the beginning of the 16th century.
Islam certainly is not hateful in its essencebut a disproportionate number of its current adherents need to hate to avoid the agony of self-knowledge. The basic problem is daunting: We face a failing civilization in the Middle East. But if we have the least spark of wisdom, we will do all that we can to ensure the failure does not spread from cultures that have made socioeconomic suicide pacts with themselves to lands that still might adapt to the demands of the modern and post-modern worlds.
Religions change, because men change them. Fundamentalists insist upon an ahistorical stasis, but evolution in the architecture of faith has always been essential to, and reflective of, human progress. Certainty is comforting, but a religions capacity for adaptive behavior unleashes the energies necessary to renew both the faith and the society in which it flourishes. On its frontiers, Islam remains capable of the changes necessary to make it, once again, a healthy, luminous faith whose followers can compete globally on its own terms. But the hard men from that religions ancient homelands are determined to frustrate every exploratory effort they can. The Muslim extremist diaspora from the Middle East has one consistent message: Return to the past, for that is what God wants. Beware, no matter his faith, of the man who presumes to tell you what God wants.
It cannot be accomplished, of course, this longed-for return to a golden age of sanctity and success that is nine parts myth and, at most, one part history. But the bloody-handed terrorists and their mentors are determined to pay any price to frustrate those Muslims who believe that God is capable of smiling, or that it is possible to change the earth without challenging Heaven.
Our strategic blunder has been to attempt to work outward from Islams inner sanctum. But the greatestin fact, the onlychance we have to positively influence this struggle over the future of Islam lies in precisely the opposite approach: We must realign our efforts to work inward from the edges. Our assets and our energies should be spent where change is still possible or already under way, not squandered where opposition to all that we value has hardened implacably. We have not even gotten the numbers right. In terms both of population density and potential productivity, wealth, and power, Islams center of gravity lies to the east of Afghanistan, not to the west. The worlds most populous Muslim countries stretch far to the east of the Indus River: Indonesia, India, Bangladesh . . . Pakistan . . . and other regional states, such as Malaysia, make this the real cockpit of crisis. And, thus far, the view on the ground is more encouraging than baleful news reporting would have it.
While Pakistan has been wracked with phenomenal corruption and suffers from a ravaged education system that opened the door for the pernicious expansion of fundamentalist religious schools, and even though its economy is in exemplary shambles, that most-endangered state still has not strayed irretrievably into the extremist camp. It maymayeven have turned a corner toward some fitful progress. But the path to economic, social, and cultural health will be long and steep and, together with impoverished, hard-luck Bangladesh (once governed from Islamabad), Pakistan remains the least promising of the regions states. Elsewhere, the picture is much brighter, if only we had the clarity of vision to appreciate the plodding reality behind the sensational headlines.
India and Indonesia are the two countries with the largest Muslim populations (despite Indias Hindu majority, more than 15 percent of its billion people are Muslims, outnumbering the Islamic population of Pakistan). Each state presents a reason for hope, though in rather different ways. While Islams frontiers include states as diverse and dispersed as Nigeria and Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, the pseudo-state of Kosova, and Turkey, the most powerful determinants of the future course of Islam will probably be the success or failure of modernizing forces in Indonesia and India. And, frankly, we havent a clue about the on-the-ground reality in either country.
First, India. Currently, militants tolerated (if no longer actively sponsored) by Pakistan have staged yet another cross-border massacre in Indian-ruled Kashmir. New Delhi is pondering retaliation, despite US anxieties over the effects another Indo-Pakistani conflict (perhaps with a nuclear exchange) would have on our war against terror. Recently, we saw another gruesome flare-up of interfaith violence within India, as aggressive Hindu fundamentalists got an unpleasant surprise in the northwestern Indian state of Gujarat when Muslims responded to their hooliganism by burning them alive in a railway passenger car. The Hindu response was to massacre hundreds of Muslims across the state. So we are left with the impression, intensified by the medias interest only in blood, disaster, and suffering on the subcontinent, that India remains locked in a hopeless struggle between Hindus and Muslims, both within and beyond its borders. The overarching reality is more complex, and far more encouraging.
Recurring violence between Hindus and Muslims within India is undeniably a serious problem. Widespread pogroms a decade ago killed Muslims by the thousands, as well as hundreds of Hindus. The founding of India and Pakistan was anointed with the blood of at least half a million Muslims and Hindus. But to gain an objective picture of the situation, we first need to consider the broad, enduring trends within multi-confessional India, and not merely the anomalies within those trends: In fact, the frequency and intensity of interfaith violence has decreased impressively over the past half centurydespite the resurgence of virulent Hindu fundamentalism among a small minority of Indias citizens. Then we need to consider the numbers. With Muslims composing almost a fifth of its billion people, and given the poverty that still afflicts as much as four-fifths of Indias population, India looks more like a success story than a failure when it comes to tolerance. We may deplore the intermittent violence and death when it occurs, but todays India is, to a far greater degree, the story of the dog that didnt bark, of the hundreds of millions of Hindus and Muslims (as well as those of other faiths) who do not kill each other and who, despite seductive prejudices, work together as Indians first, whether in the government, in the military, or in business.
Overwhelmingly, Indias Muslims have accepted an Indian identity. Islamic extremism has not made nearly the inroads it has across the border in Pakistan or even next door in Bangladesh. Indian Muslims realize, for the most part, that their faith cannot express itself in acts of aggression without paying a high price, and that reasonable accommodation is much to their advantage. For all its merciless corruption, India is a rule-of-law state, displaying surprising religious diversity within its government and armed forces. All this seems to have encouraged a more flexible, markedly more tolerant form of Islam. One should not paint the picture in pious, stained-glass huesand some would argue that Muslim docility is the result of repressionbut there is something to be said for a country where a Muslim can enjoy a beer in public, where the murder of a compromised woman by her relatives is not accepted as business as usual, and where local pogroms shock citizens throughout the country.
In a way, the situation of Muslims in India resembles that of Muslims in the United States (of which more below): Under competitive pressures, the religion adapts and evolves, no matter how fiercely an older generation digs in its heels or how appealing the radical pitch may be to the disoriented young. Despite the nagging violence that reappears like outbreaks of plague, the competitive aspects of Hinduism may, inadvertently, be doing more to keep Islam healthy than all the mosques between the Atlas and the Hindu Kush. States in which a single, repressive confession reigns are ill-equipped for change, while multi-confessional states, if governed by law, enjoy the dynamism sparked by competitive pressures. Where there is more than one religious option, no religion can afford to underperform.
India matters to the United States for a host of reasons, from the inevitability of a strategic compact between our two raucously democratic statesdespite the inane bickering of the past, for which both sides bear their share of blameto the long-term economic and human potential of the subcontinent. But the unremarked importance of a developing state in which Muslims live productively and equitably alongside citizens of other confessions may prove of the first importance. Above all, the Islamic world needs success stories to compete with its myths of persecution at the hands of others. Afghanistan, if only we are wise enough to commit adequate resources to its reconstruction, could surprise the world by becoming one small success story. But a deeper socioeconomic harmonization of Islam with other faiths in India would provide a beacon for all the lands lapped by the Indian Ocean and adjacent waters where Islam has come ashore.
The importanceand promiseof Indonesia is even greater than that of India as regards the future of Islam. Of all the many countries I have visited, none has been so grossly misrepresented in the media. If Indonesia shows up at all on our television screens or in our newspapers and journals the story likely will warn of Islamic terrorists. Even a very fine New York Times reporter, covering this nation of 200 million Muslims on a fly-through, wrote only of the dangers Muslims in Indonesia pose to the West, not of the promise of Indonesias Islamic alternatives.
The truth is that Indonesian Islam poses no danger whatsoever to the United States or to its citizensor to anyone else, except Muslim extremists. The radical fundamentalists and sponsors of terror in Indonesia are a small fraction of believers. The dangerreal, if slightcomes not from the syncretic, humane, tolerant, homegrown forms of Islam. The danger comes from models of Islam exported from Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, and insinuated into Indonesia through infusions of cash, missionaries, and hateful propaganda, by the building of mosques and madrassas where secular schools and clinics are badly needed, and through bribesbribery seeming to be Indonesias national sport. Yet, as one friend put it, the unhappiest investors in the world are not those Americans whose fortunes burst with the dot.com bubble, but the Saudis who spent millions upon millions to bring extreme fundamentalism to Indonesia. As they do with everyone else, in matters of business or of belief, the Indonesians took the money, then did whatever they wanted to do. In a phrase well-known to regional hands and frustrated businessmen alike, The Indonesians just wont stay bought.
You can go to showcase fundamentalist schools in Solo, in central Java, and hear all the denunciations of the West you can absorb between lunch and dinner. Terrorists, both Indonesians and deadly vagabonds from abroad, certainly use Indonesia as a base. Within Indonesias sprawling territories (more than 17,000 islands, of which over 6,000 are inhabited to some degree), there are, undoubtedly, terrorist hideouts and training camps. And homegrown extremists have sparked or intensified civil strife in Ambon, Sulawesi, the Moluccas, Kalimantan, Aceh, etc., etc.
Yet, except for Aceh, where a long-term separatist struggle continues, the root causes of most of the interfaith violence in Indonesia have been struggles over the control of territory, local power, and economic benefits, all triggered by government-sponsored internal migration from overpopulated, Muslim Java to less-developed islands where Islam was either a new or a minority faith. Extremists, both Muslim and Christian, have used these struggles to their own ends. But in Jogjakarta, the old cultural capital of Muslim Java, the elite and the middle class send their children to Christian-run schools for a better education, they use Christian-sponsored hospitals because of the higher-quality care, and they have far more interest in Britney Spears than in Osama bin Laden.
This is not a metaphorical statementwhile I was recently in Indonesia, Miss Spears got far more air-time than Osama did, which made me wonder whether Mr. bin Laden doesnt have a point concerning the cultural brutality of the West. Now, hard-headed politicos may dismiss the Cult of Britney (and of bare-midriff blondes in general, for whom one cannot help feeling a certain admiration), but a society in which the girls and women have been watching Christina Aguileras displays of life-affirming exuberance on video is unlikely ever to sign up for the whole fundamentalist package. Indeed, when confronted with the word fundamentalist, the young women of Indonesia tend to concentrate on the first three letters.
Islam came to Indonesia approximately eight centuries ago, through trade, not conquest, but gathered force only about 500 years back, its sudden appeal contemporary with the Reformation in Europe. Hinduism and Buddhism (and animist folk religions, which persist indestructibly as part of Indonesian Islam) had longer reigns in the archipelago than Islam has yet enjoyed, and Indonesians have always taken a wear what fits attitude toward the Muslim faith. On Java, Indonesias indisputable heartland, the mystical, questioning Sufi form of Islam shaped the faith early on, and although the coastal regions grew cosmopolitan with international trade, inland Java and the interior of the other great islands long were isolated from the world, allowing Islam to digest, rather than fully suppress, the multiple forms of local belief.
Technically speaking, Indonesia may contain almost 200 million Muslims, but less than 20 percent of themand that is a generous estimatewould begin to pass muster with the strict mullahs of the Middle East. Even Muslims who describe themselves as devout include a range of superstitions and religious borrowings in their practices, from a belief in saints and shrines (anathema to strict Sunni Islam) to the conviction in rural parts of Sulawesi that transvestites have an inside track with Allah. And then there is the Indonesian fondness for an occasional beer. One woman showing me about described her female employer (none of this sounds terribly Middle Eastern, does it?) as a most devoted Muslim, very strict, then added approvingly, she doesnt pray during the day or wear religious clothing, and she likes to drink a little bit, but she is really a very good Muslim.
This is not intended to belittle the devotion of Indonesians. On the contrary, they are often profoundly religious (nowhere more so than on Hindu Bali, though). But they have adapted Islam to their own culture, rather than adapting their culture to Islam. Certainly, some Indonesians are more conservative in their beliefs than others. But despite the inevitable outbreaks of violence that punctuate every history and the increasing popularity of making the Haj to Mecca (a combination pilgrimage, holiday, and shopping trip for those with whom I spoke), Indonesians tend to take a live-and-let-live attitude toward faith. It is enormously frustrating to the extremists.
There long have been efforts to clean up Islam in the archipelago, with reports dating back centuries of the execution of Sufis who preached a curiously Lutheran doctrine of salvation through faith alone, then went on to scorn prayers, religious doctrine, and mosque visits as inconsequential compared to the faith within ones heart. In the 19th century, as steamships made the journey to Mecca cheaper, swifter, and safer, ever more islanders made the Haj (today they travel by chartered jet, after riding to their local airport in convoys of buses). While Aceh always had a Sunni bent and enduring ties to the Arabian Peninsulaincluding a school and hostel maintained in Mecca for visiting scholarsthis new exposure to the Islam of the religions ancient homelands inspired a minority of Sumatrans, Javanese, and others to attempt to reform their religion at home. The movement gained some force early in the 20th century, and remains very much alive today under the Muhammadiyah banner, whose followers number somewhere under 20 percent of the Islamic population.
But even these fundamentalists had a strong progressive wing that believed in education and argued that Islam was not incompatible with progress. While the numerous Muhammadiyah schools and universities the visitor sees scattered about today have campuses full of girls in conservative dress (though not veiled), the real point is that they have campuses full of girls. And the curricula are far more progressive than anything in the Arab homelands. Indonesian higher education is not competitive with Western university programs, but whether religious or state-sponsored, it beats an education that focuses exclusively on the Koran and its medieval commentators.
One enduring image of Indonesia is from a small supermarket on the dusty edge of Solo. The young cashier wore a mini-skirt that wasted no fabric on modesty, while the girl bagging groceries wore demure Islamic garb, including the local head scarf that resembles the hair covering worn by German women at the turn of the 15th century. The two girls were friends, and there was no tension in their interaction. While Indonesia remains a male-chauvinist society, the opportunities afforded to women have dramatically outpaced anything in the Middle Eastand this is a country with a popular, elected female president. The extreme liberality of divorce laws harms families and women alike, but there is a spirit of independence and spunk among the younger, better-educated generation of Indonesian women that makes a striking, positive contrast to Turkey (another Muslim country for which one is hopeful in the long term).
Indonesia faces a long list of challenges, some of which may prove intractable, from ethnic and religious violence on the outer islands to the worst corruption between Lagos and Tijuana (corruption, not fundamentalism, is the countrys primary obstacle to progress, and corruption may prove the unwitting ally of fundamentalism in Indonesia, as it has been elsewhere). Yet the manner in which the United States has alternately scolded and ignored this huge, strategically positioned country, without making any serious efforts to peer behind the occasional nasty headline, is simply remarkable. For all its many problems, this is a country where Islam has spited the fundamentalists thus far, where the overwhelming majority of Muslims want no part of violent extremism, and where Islam is still an evolving religion that may adapt to the demands of a new century better than it will anywhere else in Asiadespite Malaysias economic head-start. Throw in its proximity to vital sea lanes, and our blithe dismissal of Indonesias importance begins to anger anyone who thinks seriously about Americas future interests.
Indonesians must solve their own problems, of course. They must determine the content and contours of their own faith. But we can help through patient, informed engagement. Our enemies, acknowledged or not, are present and active, fighting to drag Indonesian Islam down to a Middle Eastern oppressiveness. They have spent a great deal of money to persuade Indonesians that intolerance is a virtue, that Christians and Jews are devils, and that God is a stern disciplinarian who expects men to imitate him. Thus far, they have failed. But in these tumultuous times, as Indonesia struggles with democracy, economic depression, and the unprecedented pace of global change, the future remains uncertain.
We Americans have not even been in the game, when we should be engaging Indonesiansdespite their excesses in East Timor during their nervous transition to democracyto impress them with the benefits of the rule of law applied fairly to all citizens, electoral openness, and business done honestly in the global marketplace and at home. We should not go as pontificating crusaders, but as thoughtful, open-eyed counterparts. To use a preferred image, Indonesia does not need and will not tolerate the heroic surgery characteristic of American foreign policy, but demands a long treatment with strategic acupuncture. We should engage Indonesia with our goals set half a century out. It may be un-American to think in such long time spans, but we are already more than a quarter century into the active struggle for Islams future. And no single country is more important to that future than Indonesia.
Islamthe newest, yet the most anxiously traditional, of the worlds major religionsis under phenomenal stress, especially in those states and regions where its practices are the most conservative. Any culture which oppresses its women and excludes them from education and the workplace cannot possibly compete with the West and its intensifying human efficiency. The matter of womens freedom is the defining issue of our age. The most profound and fateful divide between human cultures today places the failures decisively on the side that would continue to deny women their basic human rights and equitable opportunities, with the successes on the side that realizes, at last, that women are better suited to be mens partners than their property.
Social and economic freedom for women constitutes the most sweeping revolution in human history, yet this enabling revolution has, thus far, passed by the core Muslim states of the Middle East. My own fondest hope, as the United States intervened in Afghanistan, was that a bomb dropped by a Navy fighter flown by a female pilot would kill Osama bin Laden. It would have been the perfect image of both the Wests triumph and a crucial factor in that triumph. But whether Mr. bin Laden is alive or dead at this hour, we should not mistake his war for other than what it isa war not merely against the West, but against half of mankind, against all women. The Wests liberation of women (which has been, to a great degree, their self-liberation in the face of stubborn resistance) is the essential element that renders so many Muslims irreconcilable to us. This particular set of freedoms threatens not only the Muslim males religious prejudices, but his central identity. Until it successfully addresses the issue of womens rightsfull rightsIslam will not compete successfully, in any area, with the West. In that regard, too, Indonesia offers a hopeful example among foreign states.
Numerous other cultural factors, veiled with religious justifications, haunt the old Muslim heartlands. The situation is, indeed, so dire that one sometimes wonders if there is any hope at all. Yes, there is hope, but change mustand willcome first on Islams frontiers.
Last, we come to a brief mention of what may prove the most vital frontier: North America. September 11th created a wide variety of stresses upon and distress for Americas Muslim citizens and residents. This newest body of immigrants, some of whom still have not fitted themselves fully to a profoundly different society from that of their countries of origin, reacted with complex and varied emotions: horror; anger at the damage done to their adopted country as well as to their faith; alarm that their faith might be misunderstood by their fellow Americans; worries about blind retribution directed against them; anxiety to show that they, too, are good Americans; and, sometimes, defensiveness about the often-disastrous societies they had left behind, incendiary excuses for the inexcusable, and, among the most disappointed and disaffected, muted pleasure that the proud had been given a public blow by the weak. Every single emotionthese and morefelt by our fellow Americans who believe that There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his Prophet, is understandable when we set aside our own emotions. American Muslims are in perhaps the most difficult situation of any immigrant group since the Irish fled the Great Famine. And yet there is cause to be more hopeful for them than for Muslims anywhere else in the world.
As so many religious or ethnic groups have done before them, Americas Muslim immigrants will need to jettison some of the behaviors brought along in their baggage, especially as regards the regulation of women. Many of our Muslim citizens have long-since integrated into American societysome have been fully Americanized for generationswhile some new arrivals are still in the process of adapting. All of this is the normal stuff of the immigrants experience, with its shocks, discords, and ultimate success. What matters not only to us but to the world is that the long-overdue, liberal reformation of Islam is likeliest to happen here, in the United States.
Just as every other major religion has adapted to the unique challenges and opportunities of American life, Islam will do so as well. To retain the devotion of the young, generation after generation, as the possibilities (and the temptations) of America wean them from old behaviors and antique prejudices, Islam will have to travel the humane route pioneered by American Protestantism, Catholicism, and Judaism. There will be great complaints and concernsas each of these other religions continues to endure. But the ultimate effect of American life is to humanize the practice of faith. The great debate in the Islamic world as the decades advance may well be between progressive American Islam and more conservative forms lingering abroad.
In the dark days of the Cold War, when the world made grisly sense, American strategists touted the notion of rolling back communism. In fact, we never rolled back muchat least until 1989but did our best to hold the line. But roll-back may have been a strategy far ahead of its time, a concept waiting for more propitious circumstances. It appears to be eminently suited as an approach for dealing with violent Islamic extremism.
We did not imagine we could defeat Soviet communism starting in Moscow; likewise, Islamic extremism cannot be engaged most effectively where it was born and bred. We must work our way in from the hopeful, unsettled frontiers, from Africa through Asia, in the Balkans, and in North America. The complex, exasperating, and frequently inspiring world of Islam faces a historically unique challenge. An entire religious civilization, of remarkable variety, must change if it is to survive economically and culturally. We are foolish if we do not do what lies within our power to enable that change to occur.

Wrong. Nuking saudi would deal a crippling blow to arab/muslim terrorism a.k.a 'islam'.
About the only place I can disagree immediately is this: for the most part we have been dealing with Islam most successfully on its perimeter and that is to a very great degree what has alarmed the fanatics in the homelands. They are running out of excuses. The financial windfall that has fallen into their hands is only comparable to one other that I can think of offhand - the influx of precious metals from the New World that so shook the very foundations of Europe in the sixteenth century. This influx has fallen from their hands like the sand, leaving a grinding poverty, senseless authoritarianism, and none of the ingredients of the modern industrial state that serve to increase the wealth of a people once the extraction economy has passed its peak. Which is is beginning to do - the relative monopoly in oil has long since departed and only a very vigorous diplomacy has kept the price of it controlled, and only then very imperfectly. The power that that control conferred in the 1970's has likewise fallen through grasping fingers like sand.
One can see the roots of an incredible frustration here, on the part of self-righteous men thoroughly convinced that God is on their side, and again and again thwarted by circumstances they dare not look into too closely for fear they must conclude that God isn't on their side after all. A scapegoat must be found. That, of course, is us.
I agree whole-heartedly with the author that the reason fundamentalist Islam is utterly doomed culturally is its stubborn rejection of the emancipation of its women. One does not cut off one-half of one's population (in many ways the cleverer half) and expect to compete with a population not so encumbered.
I am intrigued by the author's suggestion that Afghanistan might become a beacon of reason in a Moslem world of intolerance. That is certainly not indicated by much of its history, and yet many of the ingredients are, in fact, there. That people has escaped the difficulties and challenges other Islamic populations have encountered largely due to the lack of natural resources that engendered them. It has a disparate, clannish society and relative geographic isolation, but then so did the United States in its early going. I'd love him to expand on this topic.
I'm going to have to buy this fellow's books, and I thank you again for the introduction.
We will not win because Muslims decide they enjoy Britney's navel more than the Koran.
We will win only when Muslim holy men - not politicians merely posing as such holy men, as are the terror master themselves - declare terrorist murderers to be apostates and damnable before God.
They are hypocrites. They have no actual belief in a just judge. The merciful and compassionate cannot be found in any of their acts. When Muslim men who are not simply westernized (to say nothing of those simply interested in Britney's navel), nor merely learned, but downright pious, denounce the fundamentalists as having missed the entire point - then we can start to speak of victory.
It will take someone of the stature of a Ghandi to do this.
The writer notes that religions change because men change them. That is true. But to the men that change religions, the change is quite a little thing, and religion is the big thing. Religions are not changed by those who think them unimportant. By mere activists convinced they are merely dated folklore, but perhaps useful for bossing some people around. They are changed, with any depth or lasting seriousness, only be men who care about them deeply.
When there arises a Muslim holy man who is deeply wounded by the injustices committed in the name of Islam, who regards them as a stain for which rigorous atonement is required, who is on a mission to save the souls of erring brethren, then you can start to talk of victory.
As long as it is all calculating politicians on one side, interested only in peace with the west and Britney's navel, and calculating but more cyncial politicians on the other side, interested only in war with the west and acquiring nuclear weapons, it is a delusion to speak of promise or progress or victory.
The writer talks as though the fundamentalists, while dangerous and misguided, are true representatives of the lasting nature of religion. It is certainly true that religions have had that baleful influence at many times for the entire recorded past. But they have had that influence most when they have been felt to be, and were wielded as, cynical tools of worldly rivalries.
Which is all Islam is to the terror masters. He speaks of their self-righteousness, accurately enough. But they haven't an actually righteous bone in their bodies. And until that is seen as the crucial issue in the Muslim world, the war is still with us.
There would be hatred of the west in the Muslim world even after, as there is hatred of the modern west in certain intellectual circles within the modern west. But it would be rightly seen as an impious flirtation, as playing chicken with damnation, not as a holy cause.
It is going to take a great man to make that change happen. As yet there is no sign of such a man on the horizon. There have been scholars who have seen as much and said as much (Fazlur Rahman comes to mind), but a scholar is not an example to an entire people, teaching them as though with authority, by the whole conduct of his life.
We are only limiting the destruction within the Muslim world, and the danger to ourselves from its inner turmoil, until that happens. We have to do that. But it won't settle the matter. Men need not merely something to avoid, but something to follow. And all due respect to Britney's most excellent navel, but civilizations are not founded on the frivolous.
"According to the Islamic Fiqh Council, state terrorism is the most menacing to security and peace in the world, and, therefore, standing up against it is tantamount to self defense and striving in the cause of Allah."
No I am sorry, that just does not qualify. It is deconstructionist spin and not righteousness. Party hacks wrote this, not men concerned with their own souls and those of their fellows. We are not remotely there yet.
I think of Mohammed - a killer himself. Righteousness in Islam seems congruent with killing all infidels in the world, if necessary, and I've heard it said that the older Mohammed got more viscious than the younger, "liberal", Mohammed. The last words don't sound good for us.
All religions seem like fairy tales to me, so I can only stand outside and speculate about deeply held Islamic beliefs.
The suicide bombers sure seem sincere, and some of their leaders have suffered torture and execution for their faith. I don't know of a more severe proof of conviction than sumitting to torture and execution for one's belief. Deep conviction and determination conserning what looks to me like a bad fairy tale.
But the Koran does contradict itself, apparently, and has the tolerant quotes for sincere liberal Muslims.
All of it whackdoodle to me, and sincere Muslims can die fighting each other over the "true" version. At least I hope some liberal Muslims will emerge, ones willing to die for their more enlightened Islam, since apprently it will take that to win.
But seeing Islam as demented, I hold out hope for enough of them snapping out of it all together, with agnostic children standing on the shoulders of their liberal parents. The Indonesians seem halfway there, as the author describes them.
And I know what you are saying, and is it what the article writer is also saying, and it is what has been tried for a century in the Islamic world, and it is never going to work. They are not going to drop Islam and forget about it and become secular and develop warm fuzzy feelings about westerners because we are so much more fun that religion and morality.
If you make it a contest in which they either give up their faith entirely or fight you to the death, they will fight you to the death until the end of the world. And they will think it righteousness, and you and I and the entire west corruptors whose sole motive is to detach them from their religion.
They are perfectly willing to learn from your example to only care about this worldly effects and this worldly power. That to them counsels only fighting. You can't cure cynicism with a double dose of it plus a bare belly button. The only thing that will convince them not to act immorally is -morality-.

Dr. Patel is the best pediatrician. My 3 year old daughter loves him. He is very thorough and no nonsense. I appreciate that he doesn't give medication unless there is an active infection. His staff is equally as wonderful. I have never not been able to have my child seen the day that I need/want. If you call after hours, he returns your call quickly. I have even had him call to check on my child over the weekend when she has been in his office on a Friday. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great Pediatrician!!!!!
If you listen to him and do what he says you will see he is always right I now have 3 children and have been going to his office over the past 10 almost 11 years he is great with the kids although they are afraid at first they will warm up to him !! I like that he only gives medicine if there is an active infection my middle child got RSV at 1 1/2years and he placed her in the hospital I felt bad bc I had no idea how bad she was until all these nurses started working on her Dr Patel saw her daily and made her stay 5days she recovered well and we have Dr Patel to thank!!

Excellent Pediatrician!!
I picked Dr. Patel when I had my older daughter. His name was the only name I could remember from the list of doctors provided to me. Almost 10 years later, and 1 more daughter added, he is still our pediatrician and I have never regretted our decision. He is absolutely the best!!

This Mens Film Festival From "Portlandia" Probably Already Exists
A new Portlandia sketch invites us into the fest where men get out from under the thumb of Hollywood's "unfair" obsession with women.
WHAT: "Men's FIlm Festival," a sketch from an upcoming episode of Portlandia.
WHO: Creators/stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.
WHY WE CARE: There's the Women's International Film Festival, the American Black Film Festival, the Native American Film Festival, the Boston Jewish Film Festival, and the New York International Children's Film Festival–but where, oh where is the film festival that finally provides a platform for men? That question forms the central premise of a sketch from the seventh season of Portlandia, which begins airing in February. Chameleonic creators/stars Armisen and Brownstein portray a couple of MRA moviehounds in the sketch, preaching the gospel of Brian De Palma to an audience full of 13-year old boys nodding thoughtfully. "Men's Film Festival" captures the paradoxical aura of bitter entitlement of the default audience for everything getting mad that there are Lady Ghostbusters now. In fact, Co.Create is fairly certain this film festival already exists, somewhere (or soon will). The episode of Portlandia from which the sketch comes premieres on IFC February 9th.

This topic contains 20 replies, has 17 voices, and was last updated by ed24f1 6 years, 7 months ago.
30th November 2010, 23:01 at 11:01 pmParticipant
Not sure who (probably FOM), but someone must have all the footage from f1 races since 1950. In the last years that's every driver's onboard shots during the whole GP weekends, and all the other cameras at the track.
So, what would you like to see, if you were given permission to access all of that footage?
I'll start with three recent ones (I'll write more when I have more time)
Sutil's onboard race in Monaco, 2008: Stunning drive in probably the worst car in the grid, no mistakes and an incredible performance in the wet Monaco.
Petrov's onboard first lap in Melbourne, 2010: Ok, so some of it is in the f1.com's Australian GP review, and more will probably be seen in the season review DVD, but I'd like to see the whole thing. His second f1 race and he was starting from behind in the wet, muscling his way through the field with a great start.
H�lkenberg's onboard Q3 in Interlagos, 2010: He was majestic in the tricky conditions, and all we got to see was the last lap. I'd like to see all the laps after he put the slicks on.
Over to you
30th November 2010, 23:16 at 11:16 pmParticipant
Great idea. I know if I could, I'd love to see:
Allan McNish's onboard footage from his Suzuka 2002 crash.
Robert Kubica's onboard footage from the crash in Montreal in 2007.
All of the footage available from the 1950 British Grand Prix.
30th November 2010, 23:20 at 11:20 pmParticipant
All of the camera angles that saw action which we didn't see on TV of the 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix.
30th November 2010, 23:35 at 11:35 pmMember
As Enigma mentioned the Australian GP race edit, I went to F1.com to watch it. It is funny that at that race Smedley said the same "Fernando is faster than you" to Massa :P But of course at that time he really meant it.
Now answering the thread's question, I'd probably die watching all footage. I wouldn't resist watching the onboards of every first lap from every car at all races, every pole position and every crash in all history. Also I'd probably watch entire seasons from each era of the sport (front engined cars era, rear engined cars era, the early days of the aerodynamics, ground effects, turbos and finally our current era).
30th November 2010, 23:51 at 11:51 pmParticipant
I would forget everything else in life and just watch every race and ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the footage FOM has to offer, which is probably a lot….
I posted this earlier but the topic died early, here are reviews with some amazing footage of the 1970-1988 season. Just download the DivX player and you get over 20 hours of footage! It's pretty incredible IMO.
30th November 2010, 23:53 at 11:53 pmParticipant
Good question, rubbish title :P
Are we talking all camera angles or just onboards? Like Geoffrey I'd like to see some of the big crashes that have occurred over the years from onboard.
I'd be more interested in hearing all of the team radio transmissions that have happened over the years that we never got to hear. Imagine being able to listen to Ferrari's radio calls from Austria 2002?!
1st December 2010, 12:55 at 12:55 pm
Footage of Ascari going into the Monaco harbour.
Hawthorn vs Fangio at France.
The entire Canadian 05 GP from Massa's onboard.
All of Alonso's onboard from Hungary 06.
Every angle at Monaco 08, Fuji 07 and Korea 2010.
Onboards from both Massa and Kubica at Japan07.
Onboard for Massa's Monaco pole.
Onboard for all of Jenson's Aus 2010 victory which I think was one of the classiest wins ever.
Every onboard of Senna, Prost, Gilles, Alesi, Alonso, Massa, Piquet snr, Mansell, Stewart and Cevert possible.
1st December 2010, 13:09 at 1:09 pmParticipant
I'd love to see the onboards from the Spa '98 pile-up! Especially from the guys like Rosset who pointlessly ploughed into the wreckage ages after everyone else had stopped crashing.
Also, the onboard of Button's second lap in the European GP of 2007. He pitted for wet tyres at the end of the first lap and was running about 16th in that godawful Honda. By the beginning of lap 3 he was fourth! Then he threw it at the scenery … but it'd be great to see him making all those passes.
1st December 2010, 16:42 at 4:42 pmParticipant
The complete onboard footage of Hamilton @ Silverstone, 2008.
Sutil's onboard footage, Monaco 2008. Poor guy deserved to be on the podium.
1st December 2010, 16:57 at 4:57 pmParticipant
I would also like to see Sutil at Monaco 2008 – but only to finally prove that he only got as high as he did by passing at least 2 cars under yellow flags, and to show that he probably would have been penalised after the race anyway.
1st December 2010, 18:38 at 6:38 pmParticipant
Schumacher's onboard in the crash with Liuzzi (Abu Dhabi 2010)
Senna's onboard if it exists (San Marino 1994)
1st December 2010, 19:36 at 7:36 pmParticipant
I'm still waiting for more of Seb's team radio after Abu Dhabi! :( Apparently he was talking about back when him and his Dad's were the underdogs in Karting.
Jaime's on board from the first lap of Valencia 2010.
Alonsos on board for the whole of Abu Dhabi 2010.
To repeat some other people's choices, most crash footage, like Schumacher's from Abu Dhabi this year and Kubica's 2007.
1st December 2010, 20:45 at 8:45 pmParticipant
Onboard of Kovalainen in his crash with Webber in Valencia. Hopefully it'll be on the season review, but that must been an horrific sight for Heikki…and let's not forget, he span at 200mph too!
1st December 2010, 21:36 at 9:36 pmParticipant
Onboard of the whole first lap of Alguersuari in Barcelona (maybe that's what Katy ment). He was fantastic.
2nd December 2010, 1:37 at 1:37 amParticipant
i'd like to see an onboard of keke rosbergs 1985 british grand prix pole lap, fastest lap in f1 until 2001
