The aunt of the two Boston bombing suspects is calling for additional evidence showing they are behind the acts.
"I am a lawyer and there are four of us in the family," Maret Tsarnaev told reporters Friday at her Toronto home. "I can't lightly accept this kind of accusations without supporting evidence. Forgive me, but I cannot.
"Could it be staged? I have to question everything. That's my nature."
Police are hunting for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who survived an overnight shootout and police chase. His older brother Tamerlan, 26, was killed in the shootout.

text: Scientists at Korea's S&P Energy Research Institute have worked out a way of manufacturing hydrogen that's 20-30 times cheaper than current methods. Typical electrolysis methods in use take about 4 to 4.5 kWh of energy for each cubic meter of H2 gas but the new Korean method (apparently a chemical process) takes just 0.1 kWh, with associated production cost savings. Why should you care about this? Because as a component of some fuel cell technology, hydrogen might become one of the fuels of the future, and a lowering of its manufacturing costs seems like a fantastic way to help usher-in an era of hydrogen-powered gadgets.

Introduction One of the traditional roles played by historians in addition to simply recounting historical narrative - is to explain why history unfolded in the particular manner that it has. Those committed to the explanation of history develop models and perspectives by which historical discourse can occur. The horrors of the German national socialist regime posed difficult questions to historians: how could citizens of a seemingly civilized nation perform mass murder on a previously unimaginable scale, and how could others within that society approve of (or acquiesce in) the execution of such monstrous deeds? This article examines attempts by historians to elucidate the reasons for the particular course of history that led to the rise in power of the Nazi Party in Germany. The central focus of this work is on the evolution of the Sonderweg (special path) thesis, first espoused by nationalistic (or what Wehler termed as imperial patriotism ) late nineteenth century German writers as a celebration of Kaiserreich social, economic, and political values, but which became a controversial explanation for the emergence of the Third Reich. The object of this essay is not to propose a new model for modern German history, but rather to highlight for non-specialists some of the major schools of thought and central arguments related to the concept of Sonderweg. The failure of liberal democratic structures to develop in Germany did not go unnoticed by nineteenth-century writers. Karl Marx composed a blistering polemic on the unsuccessful 1848 bourgeois revolution in his The Bourgeoisie and the Counter-Revolution: The German bourgeoisie developed so sluggishly, timidly and slowly that at the moment when it menacingly confronted feudalism and absolutism, it saw menacingly pitted against itself the proletariat and all sections of the middle class whose interests and ideas were related to those of the proletariat Unlike the French bourgeoisie of 1789, the Prussian bourgeoisie, when it confronted monarchy and aristocracy, the representatives of the old society, was not a class speaking for the whole of modern society. It had been reduced to a kind of estate
as clearly distinct from the Crown as it was from the people, with a strong bend to oppose both adversaries and irresolute towards each of them individually because it always saw both of them either in front of it or behind it. From the first it was inclined to betray the people and to compromise with the crowned representatives of the old society, for it already belonged itself to the old society; it did not advance the interests of a new society against an old one, but represented refurbished interests within an obsolete society It did not trust its own slogans, used phrases instead of ideas, it was intimidated by the world storm and exploited it for its own ends haggling over its own demands, without initiative, without faith in itself, without faith in the people, without a historic mission, an abominable dotard finding himself condemned to lead and to mislead the first youthful impulses of a virile people so as to make them serve his own senile interests sans eyes, sans ears, sans teeth, sans everything this was the Prussian bourgeoisie which found itself at the helm of the Prussian state after the March revolution. The question facing historians is to what extent the illiberal unified Germany was responsible for the militarist authoritarianism of the Wilhelmine era and more importantly the murderous fascism of the Hitler dictatorship. Early Twentieth-Century Moves Away from Imperialist History
Thorstein Veblen was among the first writers to view the concept of Sonderweg in a negative light. He composed two of his most influential books during the First World War, Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution and An Inquiry into the Nature of Peace and the Terms of its Perpetuation , both of which examine the rise of the Kaiserreich as a dominant industrial nation with premodern, authoritarian political and social structures. Veblen foreshadowed many of the critiques of post-World War II historians as to the intrinsic characteristics of Wilhelmine Germany that could be construed as a special path leading to the rise of the Third Reich; the Kaiserreich, in Veblens opinion, was ill-suited to handle the modern industrial state, and its monarchical and aristocratic institutions remained hostile to liberal democracy: Germany is still a dynastic State. That is to say, its national establishment is, in effect, a self-appointed and irresponsible autocracy which holds the nation in usufruct, working through the appropriate bureaucratic organization, and the people is imbued with that spirit of abnegation and devotion that is involved in their enthusiastically supporting a government of that character. Now, it is the nature of a dynastic State to seek dominion, that being the whole of its nature. And a dynastic establishment which enjoys the unqualified usufruct of such resources as are placed at its disposal by the feudalistic loyalty of the German people runs no chance of keeping the peace, except on terms of the unconditional surrender of all those whom it may concern. No solemn engagement and no pious
resolution has any weight in the balance against a cultural fatality of this magnitude. Max Weber argued that the German bourgeoisie failed to adopt the liberal traditions of its British rivals. Wilhelmine Germany, argued Weber, was nation dedicated to the idea that bureaucracy was the very means by which social and political problems could be solved, and he believed that the unification achieved by Bismarck was destined for disaster: We have to grasp that German unification was a youthful exploit, upon which our nation embarked in its old age, but which might have been, because of its high cost, better left undone, if it is to be the end rather than the starting point of a German world power policy (Weltmachtpolitik). Historians in the decade after the Second World War tended to explain the Nazi regime as a consequence of the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles and the economic chaos that resulted from the Great Depression on the 1930s. Somewhat prescient of this school of historiography was John Maynard Keynes, whose 1919 book The Economic Consequences of the Peace criticized the onerous reparations imposed on Germany by the victorious Allies after World War I: I believe that the campaign for securing out of Germany the general costs of the war was one of the most serious acts of political unwisdom for which our statesmen have ever been responsible. To what a different future Europe might have looked forward if either Mr. Lloyd George or Mr. Wilson had apprehended that the most serious of the problems which claimed their attention were not political or territorial but financial and economic, and that the perils of the future lay not in frontiers or sovereignties but in food, coal, and transport. Neither of them paid adequate attention to these problems at any stage of the Conference. But in any event the atmosphere for the wise and reasonable consideration of them was hopelessly befogged by the commitments of the British delegation on the question of Indemnities. The hopes to which the Prime Minister had given rise not only compelled him to advocate an unjust and unworkable economic basis to the Treaty with Germany, but set him at variance with the President, and on the other hand with competing interests to those of France and Belgium. One of the first post-Nazi books to consider the reasons for the rise of the Third Reich was Friedrich Meineckes 1946 Die Deutsche Katastrophe (The German Catastrophe), which presented the era of Hitler as a historical aberration without direct connections to imperial Germany. The Third Reich, argued Meinecke, should properly be viewed as a deadly tsunami that burst upon Germany, and Hitler shoulod be understood as a historical phenomenon with no relation to the German past: This fellow does not belong to our race at all. There is something wholly foreign about him, something like an otherwise extinct primitive race that is still completely amoral in its nature . . . in spite of his very close connection with the life of his time, there lay something foreign to us Germans and difficult to understand. Reassessment: After the Fall of the Third Reich
Fritz Fischer ignited a firestorm of controversy in 1961 with Griff nach der Weltmacht(The Grasp for World Power), the first of his works that attacked historians in the tradition of Meinecke, who he deplored as an apologist for the Nazi regime. Orlow succinctly noted that Fischer viewed the Kaiserreich as an
unholy alliance of Germanys military, industrial, and political leaders bent on maintaining the power of authoritarianism at home and hegemony abroad. Imperial Germany, argued Fischer, was directly responsible for the outbreak of hostilities in World War I: There is no doubt that the war which the German politicians started in July 1914 was not a preventive war fought out of fear and despair. It was an attempt to defeat the enemy powers before they became too strong, and to realise Germanys political ambitions which may be summed up as German hegemony over Europe. Most provocative among Fischers arguments was the idea that German chancellorTheobald von Bethmann Hollweg actively campaigned to provoke a war with European rivals, and that there was a concerted effort on the part of Kaiserreich oficials to annex parts of France, Russia, and Belgium. Fischer provided excerpts of imperial documents that imply a policy of territorial aggrandizement on the part of Bethman Hollweg and his advisors: The general aim of the war is security for the German Reich in west and east for all imaginable time. For this purpose France must be so weakened as to make her revival as a great power impossible for all time. Russia must be thrust back as far as possible from Germany's eastern frontier and her domination over the nonRussian vassal peoples broken. Historians differ on the interpretation of such passages, and many scholars question whether this is evidence of a master plan to dominate Europe or merely, as Orlow described, a war of domestic and foreign policy opportunity. Retallack depicted Bethman Hollwegs strategy as expecting a lightning-quick war which would be a calculated risk to shore up Germanys diplomatic position, and that the German chancellors true aims were to split the Entente, allow Austria-Hungary a free hand in the Balkans, and avoid a general European continental war. Chickering argued that Bethman Hollweg pursued a somewhat more cautious policy that owed as much to his concern about the survival of the Habsburg monarchy as it did to territorial acquisition. Feuchtwanger maintained that Bethmann Hollweg was actually a moderate on war aims, and it was this moderation that undermined his position and was a major factor in his eventual downfall. Nonetheless, it can be safely argued that Fischers thesis opened the proverbial floodgates of an inversion of the traditional positive Sonderweg perspective, and there has been no shortage in the subsequent decades of historians desirous of weighing in on the Sonderweg debate.
Perhaps the most noteworthy of the post-Nazi Sonderweginterpretations was developed by Hans-Ulrich Wehler, who argued that historians cannot grasp the history of the Third Reich without recourse to the history of the German Empire of 1871. Wehler depicted a reactionary aristocratic class that strove to maintain dominance through a political system he suggested might best be described as a pseudo-constituional semi-absolutism. The ruling class, argued Wehler, attempted to divert the attention of the feudalized bourgeoisie away from domestic politics and the lack of democratic structures in imperial Germany through an aggressive and expeansionist foreign policy. It was the failure of the
imperial Germany to transition to liberal political traditions, maintained Wehler, that led to the horrors of the Nazi regime: In the years before 1945, and indeed in some respects beyond this, the fatal successes of Imeprial Germanys ruling lites, assisted by older historical traditions and new experiences, continued to exert an influence. In the widespread susceptibility toward authoritarian policies, in the hostility toward democracy in education and political life, in the continuing influence of pre-industrial ruling lites, there begins a long inventory of serious historical problems. To this list we must add the tenacity of the German ideology of the state, its myth of the bureaucracy, the superimposition of class differences on those between the traditional late-feudal estates and the manipulation of political antisemitism. It is because of all these factors that a knowledge of the history of the German Empire between 1871 and 1918 remains absolutely indispensable for an understanding of German history over the past decades. Wehler, to his credit, acknowledged that critics would be able to discover considerable gaps in my analysis, noting for example that his analysis was based heavily on Prussian sources. Wehler admitted that he composed Deutsche Kaiserreich with many sentences and judgments [that] have been put very pointedly, and argued that his objective with the text had been to spark debate and reflection. Wolfgang Mommsen, while acknowledging some of the shortcomings of Wehlers analysis, argued that the Sonderweg thesis was more than just a concoction on the part of left-wing intellectuals and that the process of change that took place in Germany was a distinctive one [emphasis in original]. Agreeing with Wehler and Max Weber, Mommsen argued that the imperial German bureaucracy underpinned the state by providing a career track for the educated middle class, and also acted as a protective shield for the aristocracy and the monarchy. Moreover, noted Mommsen, the bureaucracy thus had a vested interest in the perpetuation of the authoritarian state, and it actively worked to stifle potential constitutional reforms. Wehlers Sonderweg thesis elicited plenty of contrary responses from his contemporaries, and perhaps the pair most often identified as debunkers of Sonderwegwere David Blackbourn and Geoff Eley, whose 1984 The Peculiarities of German Historytook aim at some of basic assumptions of Wehler and other Sonderweg proponents. Eley contested the idea of a failed bourgeois revolution often cited by Sonderwegproponents, arguing that this implies that all modern industrial societies in deterministic fashion - must pass through a bourgeois revolution of the British or French type. Moreover, argued Eley, the very notion of such an ideal type of bourgeois revolution marked by a forcibly acquired liberal democracy seized by a triumphant bourgeoisie, acting politically as a class, in conscious struggle against a feudal aristocracy has been discredited by many mainstream Marxists, including E.P. Thompson. Eley also provided a considerable number of examples of the German bourgeoisie undertaking attempts to reform the Empire, and while liberal elements were largely unsuccessful in their efforts, this hardly constituted a subordinated or feudalized bourgeoisie. Blackbourn developed the case for what he termed the silent bourgeois revolution in which liberal elements had to carefully choose the appropriate times
for advancing their cause. Given the social and political hierarchies in postunification Germany, argued Blackbourn, bourgeois dominance was most effective where it was most silent and anonymous, where its forms and institutions came to seem most natural, and the author described a number of positive achievements that the German bourgeoisie did accomplish. In addition, noted Blackbourn, what Sonderweg proponents describe as a feudalized bourgeoisie might just as easily be expressed as social and political conservatism. Finally, Blackbourn dismissed the Sonderweg notion of a revolution from above directed by Bismarck, noting that there was always political action by a variety of competing groups from below during the Imperial era. Conclusions The Sonderweg debate will continue to be a fruitful academic pursuit for the foreseeable future, as historians on both sides of the debate continue to refine and attack the idea that the failure of liberal democratic traditions to take hold in imperial Germany foreshadowed the fascist regime of the National Socialists. The more deterministic aspects of Wehlers groundbreaking Deutsche Kaiserreich have fallen from favor, and yet even the most diehard opponents of the Sonderweg thesis generally agree that the authoritarian nature of imperial Germany influenced the rise of the Third Reich. Despite his efforts to debunk the peculiarities of Sonderweg, Blackbourn noted that the distinctiveness of German history is best recognized if we do not see it (before 1945) as a permanent falling-away from the normal. Blackbourn called instead for historians to understand that there is much in the history of Germany that is similar to the histories of other industrialized nations: In many respects, as I have tried to show, the German experience constituted a heightened version of what occurred elsewhere. This is true of Germanys dynamic capitalism, and of the social and political consequences it generated. It is true of the complex mesh of public and private virtues which were characteristic of German bourgeois society. It is true of a widespread sentiment like cultural despair, and of the crass materialism which unwittingly reinforced it. It is true, I believe although not all will want to accept this of the way in which these and other phenomena discussed above combined to produce Germanys exceptionally radical form of fascism. Finally, if there are indeed lessons to be learned from history and if societies are actually capable of learning from such lessons one would hope that a study of the peculiarities of the German experience might highlight the possibility that these factors are universal. It is certainly within the realm of the possible that another fascist regime could emerge in global politics that parallels the Third Reich, and a blind acceptance of a German Sonderweg could lull citizens of the world into a false sense of security. The geopolitics of the twenty-first century provide many examples of authoritarian regimes seeking rapid industrialization and in possession of a bourgeois class more concerned with individual fortunes than with egalitarian ideals, and perhaps history is capable of repeating itself.

Three people are dead in what Lansing police are calling a double murder-suicide that happened Thursday night in the 700 block of Saginaw Hwy. in Lansing.
Lansing police identified the individuals involved as Randy Keith, 53, Christine Keith, 37, and Isaac Miller, 14.
Randy Keith shot both victims before taking his own life a short time later, according to police.
"It seems surreal, you just don't think this is going to happen to someone that you know who is a wonderful human being and contributes so much to the world," said Melissa Quon Huber, a family friend of Christine.
Christine was a mother of four who was heavily involved in her community, according to Huber. She taught Zumba classes across the city in East Lansing and she was also the subject of a story on WILX in October about the impending cuts to the state's food stamp program.
WILX's Josh Sidorowicz spoke with Christine about her blog 'Adventures of a Thrifty Mama...' and how she was working to feed her family on a tight budget using only fresh, homemade ingredients.
Family friends who knew Christine and her family say they knew she had dealt with domestic abuse in the past and dreaded something like this would ultimately happen.
"I was shocked but not surprised," said Cheryl Overley. "It's part of the cycle of violence."
Court records show Christine took out a personal protection order against Randy in April of 2013, though it was later lifted in July.
Overley knew the Keith family through the local homeschooling community and their church. She said she hopes their loss will start a dialogue about domestic violence and what can be done to stop it.
"People need to remove the stigma," Overley said. "For people who see this and are moved by the story of people who died before their time... I hope they learn about (domestic violence) and start discussions."
Huber said their church will be bringing in grief counselors and will be starting a fund to help Christine's three surviving children as their entire community tries to move forward and cope.
"There was always that possibility when you have someone in your past who has a tendency to be jealous or vindictive," Huber said. "It can happen to smart women, rich women, poor women, it doesn't take anything to be a victim of domestic violence."
We're told Christine's three remaining children are staying with their grandparents.
The family's church, Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lansing has set up a memorial fund for the children which can be donated to by following the link to the right.

I live in Cumberland Indiana USA and have always been here in central Indiana.
The first thing that really ignited my passion for auto racing was attending the 1968 Indianapolis "500" at the age of 9 and being instantly captivated by the day-glow red STP Lotus turbine cars that so nearly won that race. Their shape, color and sound was, for me at that time, like seeing something from another world, I guess!
Anyway, being where I am, I often attend the many midget and sprint car races we have locally. Most of all I like sprint cars on the high-banked pavement tracks: Winchester, Salem and Anderson in Indiana. I'd love to see what a current Formula One car could do at one of these places!
For the last several years I've been very much a fan of the racing simulation "Grand Prix Legends" and have a current ranking of -9 for those of you who know what that is. Getting it negative was a BIG DAY for me, I can tell you sincerely! A long time coming and a lot of laps.
I"m a big fan of the Jordan team and always hope they do well, although I just enjoy seeing good racing who ever wins.
Bye for now.

Thought I'd drop a line to introduce myself, I've used atlas before and I think it's a top site, My man is a long time member and I think he's a bit fed up with me looking over his shoulder all the time so I got him to buy me a subscripition.
I've been following F1 for years, family sundays around the TV. I have pledged my alligence Williams and Mclaren, but have huge respect for those darstadly Red Cars and Shui.. Senna, Hill and Mansell are my heros from those days.
Man and I go to as many races as full time jobs will allow, We do Goodwood every year, went to Barcelona last year and had a Fab time, Had a very Jammy day in the Paddock, Met JPM and Sir Frank, had an absolute blast courtesy of a mate who works for a sponsor.
Anyway, that's enough about me I'm off for a look around,
See Ya!

I'm 19 years from Switzerland. I basically speak french, so my english isn't very good. I subscribed to AtlasF1 on spring 2002 and I'm coming daily to look at the news and pictures. I'm reading the forum only since 2-3 months and I was surprised to find very interesting discussions, particularely about technical stuff.
I'm looking F1 on TV for over ten years, but only became a addicted since 2001. Before, I liked both Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell. I remember that I was supporting also a white-red car, whose driver was called Hakkinen. I liked this name... but he wasn't winning races, so it was bad. Then came the 1st May 1994 when I saw live the Senna crash. I was so terrified... It scarred me a lot and then there was a german, Michael Schumacher, that was winning all the races. I supported Hill, but didn't looked as many races as before Senna's death. I heard then that Schumacher did some unfair manoeuvres. In 1995 I was another time scared when Mika crashed at Adelaide. Schumacher was still in front... I looked at him on the podium and I didn't liked his face, his arrogance and his antisportive wheel-turns on the track. So I started hating him... In 1996 I was so happy when Hill finally had his WDC title. After that in 1997, I was supporting Jacques Villeneuve, and he was so brilliant. Schumacher tryied to hit the Williams, but he failed. I remember I was laughing like crazy.
In 1998, I was back with Mika. I was a great fan of him as he was finally winning races and beating Schumacher. I was really happy for him when he became champion in Suzuka. It was all the same during 1999, but it was a bit easier as Schumacher crashed in Silverstone and was out. Irvine hadn't enough speed to come along Mika and he won his second title at Suzuka. Irvine was funny after his crash in the race. Mika was funny as well and I liked when he was doing the gesture of winning, with the arms in sqare, with the fist in the air, in front of the team enjoying his victory behind the barrier, after Mika comes out of the car. I liked that very much...
In 2000 it wasn't very good at the start, because Schumacher was back, winning all the races. Coulthard was doing better than Mika, and I was impressed by David's job. I thought he could maybe win once a championship... but finally Mika came back and struggled for the title again. Unfortunately, Mercedes engine's failure in Indianapolis was the end of Mclaren good times and Ferrari won the title with Schumi in Suzuka. That was really disappointing, because I felt that it would come.... Ferrari was growing since years and the finally did it.
At this point, I became really a F1 fan, because before that, I was juste looking the races on TV with my father, since I was child in fact... In 2000 I started looking also qualifying and after the 2000 season I discovered F1-Live.com site and I became addicted to Formula 1.
Talking about teams, I like Sauber very much, because I'm so proud of them, being swiss. I admire Peter Sauber, because he's a really good personality for motorsport, an especially F1. I did such a big job, that's impressive. I also like McLaren since many years... since Hakkinen in 1994.
So, it was in september 2000, when I looked at the news on F1-Live.com and I saw someone called Räikkönen, testing the C19 at Mugello. I remember again the time.... something like 1'27''1 and Schumi was running at 1'26''3, and the driver called Räikkönen was Finn and did only karting and Formula Renault. It was the first sign that came to me, this 0''8 between them. I remember feeling something special in my mind when I realised what this driver was doing... I didn't knew Peter Sauber very well at that time, and I neither knew Kimi. He continued doing good test session and the swiss team was impressed by him. That was the second sign. Eeckelaert was telling that Kimi was amazing and that was incredible for me. After that, when FIA gave him only the superlicence for 4 races, I thought that they were right because Kimi was so unexperienced.
The third and last sign was Melbourne 2001. He qualifyied 13th I remember and he was something like only three tenths behing Heidfeld. And then he finnished 6th and said he wasn't satisfied because there were five driver in front of him. That was incredible, I was so suprised. I realised that this driver had a huge potential and that he would be world champion one day. All the people working with him were telling the same things, and I was happy also because he only was 21 years old.
Since then, I'm a huge Kimi Räikkönen Fan and I collect all the news, pictures, videos and all the stuff related to him. I'm also member of the official Kimi Raikkonen Fan Club. I'm posting on different french F1 forums to fight for Kimi, for his credibility. I remember it wasn't easy in 2001, because they all were focussing on Montoya. And then in 2002 it was difficult too because they all said "look at the placing in WC" and he was behind DC because of all the failure of the car in the race. I was so happy when he fought with Montoya in Hockenheim and Hungaroring... and times goes by... now he's has won his first race, he has finished all the time on the podium except Barcelona and he's leading the WDC and it so strange because there are more and more Kimi fans. But in 2001 there was nobody on the forums.
So, when I read AtlasF1 forum, I'm only stopping rolling the thread when I see a post of HSJ.
No, I'm joking. I read all of you, but you know my favourites.;)

i have been a fan of motorsports since i was a growing up in the states. it started for me by watching the indy 500 in the seventies on memorial day. i remember thinking that was the only motor race in the world all year. ignorance is bliss as is said. then cbs began showing the odd nascar race, i was hooked on the action and speed ( pre restrictor plate ) i still have the last talledega 500 on tape some where before the restrictions came in. 210 mph laps in cars with no real down forcw to speak of. it wasn't until i was 13 in 1982 that i learned of the existence of f1. i borrowed a copy of a friends ROAD & TRACK magazine and saw a race report. i was hooked, and have been ever since. it was more than rare for an f1 race to be televised on the states at that time. if one ever was it was usually from monaco, and never live or complete in coverage. ABC has a long history of story telling instead of proper coverage.
although they more often got it wrong than right, they struck gold in 1990. as part of the coverage, tape delayed same day coverage (wow, same day ,) they showed an on board camera clip from Ayrton Senna's pole position lap with commentary from jackie stewart. i still have that on tape, and watch it from time to time. that must be one of the greatest single lap performances i have ever seen. no tc, drive by wire throttle, semi auto gearbox crap. just a simple steering wheel a gear lever a mechanical clutch, and a maestro at the wheel.
up until i moved to denmark, in 1995 i had only seen the odd f1 race live. cbs would show the US gp from detroit as i now recall, but it wasn't with any context to the rest of the season.
then my view of the f1 world changed as every race was shown live.
i have missed alot, but i will do my best to add my two cents worth. here's hoping to see some great racing in the coming months and years.

I' Patrik from Hungary.
(The "LKF" in my nick is a monogram of a hungarian word-joke-name what is my nick in another forum)
I'm a 26 years old journalist and some more. I'm interesting about the technical aspect of F1, so i was and going to read the technical forum almost every day. My favourite driver was Mansell and after him Jean Alesi. I made my final exam at high school the day after he won in Canada, and i was so happy...
I love rallying to, watch the WRC series and our national rally championship. Twice i was a co-driver in a group A Trabant. And i was a photographer in rally, and finally made a webpage for our rally team and for the rally photos and videos (www.rallyalbum.hu).
I'm going to get married in july 12th, and move to Budapest, wich city is just as beautiful as Prague or Wien... if you don't know them, visit one of them!
And finally if i'll be lucky i will race in a group N car at the Hungaroring (wich is boring circuit we also know it... oh, there will be some more straights, and less corners this year, we hope it works)

Newbie in this forum, but veteran of F1watching and discussing!
26, male, Italian living in london and working between a gp and the other.
As for the important stuff, I am a hardcore Ferrari fan, and I will do anything to support them. Not a huge MS fan though, but as long as he drives a "rossa" he's good enough for me. Other favs are Kimi, Giancarlo and Nick. No-no drivers? Well Montoya, Villeneuve and DC are my favourite hated ones, but I'll give them credit when they do well (not very often! )
Looking forward to white-hot debates and funny banter!

I'm 45, I live near Oslo in Norway. I've been following F1 since the mid-seventies, and attended my first race in 1982 (Briitish GP at Brands Hatch). Since then I've been to Silverstone (3 times), Monaco, Germany (Hockenheim), Austria, Spain (Barcelona) and Imola, and I'm going to Monza this September.
I'm a great fan of everything Italian, including Scuderia Ferrari. My all-time favourite F1 driver is Jean Alesi.

I'm from Bermuda, educated in Canada and now living in London, England looking for work. Obviously I'm a big JV fan but I like Button (I just wish he'd stop hammering Jacques ;) ) and Coulthard. If anybody knows a great place to watch GP's in the city I'd be happy to meet a fellow F1 fan as none of my friends are interested in the sport. Cheers

I might as well introduce myself
I'm a 21 year old Kiwi.....I've been following F1 since 1995 and my favourite driver at the moment would have to be Juan Pablo Montoya followed by Jenson Button, but Hopefully next year Scott Dixon will make the jump after winning the IRL. He already proved himself in the Cart series and next year should see him with at least a test drive
But anyway Catfigs you retired you can't just keep coming back without holding a press conference to announce your return from the wilderness
Cheers to all and lets have a great season
So long as that bitch MS doesn't drive JPM of the track at suzuka I'll be happy

It's a little bit late for me to introduce myself but it's better than never i guess..
I am 24 and from Istanbul , Turkey..i know many of you are angry about the possibility of GP in Istanbul for several reasons but as you may imagine its an incredible thing for us..
I never have the opportunity to watch a race live because its very very very expensive for me at the moment but i have high hopes to go Monza next year..
I ve been around from early this year but i felt too shy to post a message here..
i started watching F1 regulary after 98 Canada , before that i watched when there was nothing to do and i didn't cheer for anyone but when i saw Schumi walking angrly to DC's pits i decided to be his fan cause he was exciting to watch and his never ending fighting was amusing..( and i 've always found DC's driving boring and for some reason i never fancy JVie..)

I just registered to the forum a few days ago, although I've been quite active to similar ones for years (mainly operated in my native language, Greek that is).
An F1 fan since 1983, born in 1967, resident of Athens, a great fan of Ayrton, whose F1 career I had the luck to watch from day one. The same luck, fortunately, holds for M.Schumacher's and Hakkinen's carrers, who I certainly picked as the two very best of their generation (both being on the same level, far away & above anyone else, but with Michael being just a click better than Mika -mostly due to his ability to be consistently very good in almost every race he has attended so far).
Senna was the main reason McLaren became my favorite team, with Renault and Williams being in my "biased-towards list" too.
After Senna's death I didn't (and don't) fell like supporting any driver(s), decided to stick just to the team instead (McLaren that is). Anyhow, I always believed that teams (and thus the Constructors Championship) are more important than drivers, since the former constitute a much more deep value throughout the years (they come & go much less frequent than drivers do). I realize this is not common logic amongst the fans of the sport, but then again, neither the FIA's, the drivers' and/or the constructors' behavior always conforms with common logic, does it ;)
I was a regular Atlas-F1 reader before it became a pay-site, rating it one of the best F1 resources on the Net. It still is, I guess
PS. How come there are no avatars to pick from, in my CP?

Even though I've been reading Atlas F1 since it was released I'd never became a member and, for the last years, I've just read the first page & the BB.
Today I filled the forms in to really access the BB as a novice member, probably because I like Guinness & there's a tread regarding F1 beer sponsors...
I hope I can contribute to this forum instead of just reading the treads as I've been doing until now.
Well, that's all, I guess...

I have been watching F1 since the middle of the 70's, am 32 years old, and am a big Montoya and Williams fan.
I watch every race even if my girlfriend pulls a face, and intend watching every race I can. (my wedding will NOT be on a race weekend LOL)
I am also a big fan of Johnny Herbert as he's a complete star, nice guy, and has the same surname as me . He always looks on the positive side of things.
By day I am a headhunter, by night a poker player and Fun Lovin Criminals fan (just saw them live in Manchester which was brilliant).

A St. Helens girls softball league fundraiser in Oregon made headlines last month after $1,600 was raised by raffling off an AR-15 rifle. Now given the large success and support, they are continuing the raffles amid a minority of protests.
"I would like to see the board step down. I think they've acted irresponsibly and they plan on selling more guns," said Betty Bundy, whose daughter plays for a St. Helens girls softball team.
Despite the dozen or so protestors, the fundraisers continue to grow as hundreds of people buy tickets and voice their support. Although one 8-year-old girl did quit the team over the raffle, one girl soon joined the team for the same reason.
"I've been overwhelmed by the response and I would like to thank everybody because there's been such massive support," said the St. Helens Girls Softball Association President Devin Degraffenreid.
Checks have even begun to come in from supporters who want to fund the league simply for sticking to their guns.
"Just to tweak everyone who thought it was a bad idea, enclosed is a donation of $200 for your work!" wrote an anonymous donor.
Last Saturday a second raffle was a huge success as the 500 available tickets sold out in less than 15 minutes. Now a third raffle planned expects to bring in even more support and cash for the girls league.
"We are not trying to do anything political here. We are trying to get equipment for our girls and we're trying to get our fields playable," said Board Secretary Traci Nelson.
Over 1,000 tickets are up for grabs for the third raffle which has already pre-sold well over 200 tickets. Plans for the third fundraiser are to not only raffle off another AR-15, but a high quality shotgun as well. The winner will choose which firearm he or she wants and second place will take the other.
Winners must be 18 years or older and will be subject to a $25 background check paid for by the league. The league plans to announce the raffle results and any new fundraisers on its Facebook Page.
Despite the media's attempt to demonize gun-ownership and create the illusion of an anti-gun society, the 2nd amendment culture appears to not only be alive and well, but growing.
By the way, people who know what's coming are taking advantage of our healthy & delicious storable food!

I've been having a problem getting screen protectors to stick to the top portion of the phone. Since the screen protectors are flat, it wont stick to the slight curve on the front face. Its really ugly looking since dust gets stuck under. I've been using a hard case for a while, but I wanted to go naked lol. I was thinking about getting a solid black vinyl skin, but that still doesn't solve the screen protector problem, since the screen protector would have to go under the skin. I included a picture to show the curve that I'm talking about.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance

Licensed games have a reputation for not being all that good, but most of the licensed sports franchises on the market today are fairly solid. Tiger Woods PGA Tour is one such series, and the newest iteration of the franchise on the Wii tweaks the formula to ultimately provide players one of the best golf games around with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All Play
By far the most exciting aspect of Tiger Woods 09 is the Wii-specific control. It's executed wonderfully and after playing with the Wii Remote, it's going to be hard to go back to the traditional analog-stick control schemes. We get so many Wii games these days where Wii Remote controls feel incredibly tacked-on and generally shallow; it's nice to see a game that really takes advantage of the system's capabilities and provides a genuinely immersive, satisfying control experience. The Wii Remote gives you an awesome amount of control over your swing and employs nearly one-to-one reflection on-screen of your actions with the remote (imagine what they'll be able to do with MotionPlus!). You're given the ability to control minute details of your shot, and this option is something that hardcore fans of the series or of the sport of golf are definitely going to appreciate.
To add to the depth of control, you've got three different control options: All Play, Normal, and Advanced. All Play is obviously geared toward new players and makes Tiger Woods 09 a real pick-up-and-play title. You're given trajectories of where the ball will go before you actually hit it, making it easy to take good shots. Normal is probably the best control scheme because it provides a nice mix of challenge and functionality without being over-the-top realistic like Advanced. The final mode (Advanced) is too difficult for most people and it doesn't feel as fleshed-out as Normal mode. You're given no previews or trajectories whatsoever; making Advanced a mode only for people very confident with their golfing skills.
While the "All Play" title may suggest that this is a game geared toward golf newcomers, it in fact belies a seriously intense and challenging golf game. Even diehard fans of the Tiger Woods franchise are going to be satisfied with the level of difficulty that the title offers. The control schemes are what give players some wiggle room in terms of difficulty, but, regardless of which mode you use, you'll have to play smart in order to win. The A.I. is excellent, and while Tiger Woods 09 maintains a family-friendly attitude, it doesn't dumb the game down at all.
Tiger Woods 09 is a solid game of golf, and the numerous play modes give you countless ways to have fun with the title. By far the most enjoyable single-player mode, however, is the career mode. During your career, you'll play through a variety of golf tournaments trying to improve your game, defeat opponents, make money, and secure sponsorships. It's an addictive and generally rewarding experience and is sure to keep you entertained for a very long time.
Outside of the extensive gameplay and solid golf mechanics, one of the most impressive aspects of Tiger Woods 09 is the ways in which it genuinely appeals to both newcomers to the series as well as hardcore gamers. Casual players will likely appreciate the easy-going All Play control scheme and the deep character creator. On the other hand, the Club Tuner is a great addition to the series that allows serious players to custom-tailor their clubs to fit their own personal play style.
One of the only real flaws that I can find with the Wii version of Tiger Woods 09 lies with the game's visuals; they look better than ever on the Wii, but, naturally, still don't stack up well against the graphics on the PS3 and 360. Tiger Woods 09 is still a good-looking game, however, and the game contains a handful of new courses that are brand-new for this version of the franchise. The new courses in particular look quite nice, and while the title is by no means a technical marvel, it's still a fairly impressive game just in terms of visuals. Additionally, the Wii controls are so much more satisfying than those on the 360 and PS3 that I'd say it's definitely worth getting the Wii version despite the mild graphical inferiority.

Offshore Companies Do Not Always Get Results - Whereas We Do
For the Australian search results in Google.com.au you need an Australian company that has experience working in the dotcom dot au environment. Techniques that work in the USA don't work in Australia. Creating lots of Social Media profiles and spammy listings which the offshore companies create ending in .com may work in the USA – but not in Google.COM.AU
We have been successful online since 2003.
Go with the most established company in Australia – go with the best.

Boatyard Description:
The Anglo Welsh fleet offers an extensive range of narrowboats operating from nine bases on the English/Welsh borders. With over 30 years experience in providing top quality canal-boat holidays, Anglo Welsh offer a wide choice of cruising routes with weekly return and short break options
Boats range from 2 to 12 berths, all boats are fitted with the modern facilities you would expect. With enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff at all levels Anglo Welsh are certain to please the most discerning customer.
A non-refundable damage waiver is charged .
The above symbol in the boat detail indicates that the boat operates on on-way cruises only
Cruises between Trevor and New Mills and GT Haywood and Trevor are a minimum of one week, but Trevor to Bunbury or GT. Haywood to Trevor or vice versa can be completed in a short break. See individual entries for details.
Please make it clear when booking that you require a One-Way Cruise. As the boat shuttles between two bases, we cannot guarantee the direction of your cruise when you book, you telephone Anglo Welsh for this information 5 days before your holiday start date.
When cruising "one-way" you drive your car to your 'finish' base and are then given complementary transport to your 'start' base. That way your car is waiting on your return to base and a prompt departure after your holiday is achieved. This complementary transport is only available at the beginning of your holiday from the finish base to the start base.
