Elizabeth C. Gorski's Cr♥ssw♥rd Nation puzzle (Week 427), "Astrological Readings"—Ade's take
Crossword Nation puzzle solution, Week 427: "Astrological Readings"
Good day, everybody! Here is hoping that you all are doing well. Today's crossword puzzle came in like a lion and out…like a lion still! Each of the four theme entries ended up being the name of a celebrity who also belongs to the fifth sign of the zodiac, given their birth dates. In addition, the circled letters within each theme entry end up spelling out the word LEO.
CHARLIZE THERON (16A: [Oscar-winning "Prometheus" actress whose birthday is August 7])
ALEX RODRIGUEZ (29A: [Three-time MVP and former Yankee whose birthday is July 27])
ELISABETH MOSS (46A: [Emmy-winning "Mad Men" actress whose birthday is July 24])
ALFRED TENNYSON (61A: ["Locksley Hall" poet whose birthday is August 6])
There are definitely times when I do not mind acting much younger than my age, so seeing IN BED made me think of the times when people would crack jokes by finishing people's sentences with "in bed" (38A: [Still snoozing away]). "This crossword puzzle was a joy to complete…in bed!" Speaking of things in bed, there's DOZER in the grid to complete the somnolent elements in this grid (22D: [Light sleeper]). Do formal parties still feature punch bowls, allowing the possibility of LACED drinks to be present (17D: [Like spiked punch])? Outside of seeing them in movies, cartoons and the like, I might have seen an actual punch bowl in use one time at a party I've been to. Nowadays, we all just spike our own drinks and bring them to the party! Much more sanitary that way!
Probably favorite fill for me was STICKLER since I'm pretty much that when it comes to a lot of aspects in life (37D: [Purist]). Seeing EDGAR right underneath Alex Rodriguez immediately made me think of one of A-Rod's former teammates while with the Seattle Mariners, Edgar Martinez, who just was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame last month (33A: [Mystery writer's award]). I could talk about Edgar Martinez and how his series-winning two-run double in the decisive Game 5 of the 1995 American League Division Series against the New York Yankees saved baseball in the Emerald City, as a ballot measure for a new stadium to replace the outdated Kingdome had failed before the 1995 season ended and rumors of the team moving ran rampant. But that will be for a later date.
"Sports will make you smarter" moment of the day: RYAN (60D: ["Saving Private ____"] – One of the great moments of hilarity to ever occur on a baseball diamond happened 26 years ago yesterday. On that day, in Arlington, Tex., then 46-year old pitcher Nolan Ryan of the Texas Rangers hit Chicago White Sox third baseman Robin Ventura, 20 years Ryan's junior, with a pitch in the fourth inning, a moment that made Ventura none too happy after he had singled off Ryan in the first inning. After taking a couple of steps to first base after getting hit in the arm, Ventura charged the mound to get vengeance. Instead, he got put in a headlock and had a few knuckle sandwiches delivered onto the top of his dome by the near-50-year-old Ryan. Here's the video…and you're welcome! (Also, Ryan, despite probably throwing the most punches of anyone involved in this brawl, was not ejected from the game! He remained in the game and, eventually, earned the victory for the Rangers.)
Thank you so much for the time, everyone! Have a wonderful rest of your day and, as always, keep solving……………………in bed!!
Jon Olsen's New York Times crossword—Ade's write-up
New York Times crossword puzzle solution, 08.06.19
Hello once again! Amy is having fun at the moment at Wrigley Field watching the Cubbies (Chicago Cubs), so, with sports taking our dear leader away for the time being, it is fitting that I'm (Ade) here in her stead. Today's grid, brought to us by Mr. Jon Olsen, could have been an homage to Miles Davis' legendary jazz album, Kind of Blue, as much as Bobby Vinton's tune! Each of the first four theme entries is a two-word answer in which each of the two words can also be used to describe a shade of blue. The fifth theme entry, BLUE ON BLUE, acts as the reveal (61A: [1963 Bobby Vinton hit…or a hint to both halves of 18-, 23-, 37- and 54-Across]).
BABY POWDER (18A: [Bottom coat?]) – Slick clue!
ARCTIC OCEAN (23A: [Habitat for a walrus])
ROYAL NAVY (37A: [Its motto, translated from Latin, is "if you wish for peace, prepare for war"])
COBALT STEEL (54A: [Drill bit alloy])
Along with the execution of the theme entries, which was pretty solid, loved seeing COMPAQS for the fact that a Compaq Presario ended up being my first-ever laptop, bought in the summer between my freshman and sophomore year in college (1D: [Pioneering personal computers]). Those who are not up on their computer companies might have been thrown off at the "QS" at the end, though putting the "Q" in for QUAID ended up making "Compaqs" a giveaway (28A: [Actor Dennis or Randy]). Had a couple of more-than-minor hiccups when solving, with one occurring when I put in the very active "Altimas" where the very not active DATSUNS should have gone (42D: [Old Nissan autos]). The "T" from GOT (Game of Thrones) ended up being the trap setter, along with my momentary brain fart (53A: [TV show set in Westeros, for short]).
For some reason, I could not make out AS A SON (6D: [How one's much-loved nephew might be treated]) quickly, which then made that intersection with CASCA all the more trickier (5A: [Co-conspirator with Brutus and Cassius]). That, and IEST was some unsightly crosswordese as well (58D: [Superlative ending with grass or glass]). But that fill was definitely made up for, in my opinion, with the appearance of the pioneering Esther ROLLE and one of my all-time favorite TV shows while growing up (52A: [Esther of "Good Times"]). I'm almost certain that, when I watched the show and my dad was recording all of the episodes, that the shows were being recorded on our Beta machine and before we went all fancy and bought our first VHS player, where we then proceeded to record The Simpsons and more pro wrestling (4D: [Bygone kind of tape]).
For those who are sports inclined, and specifically those who are soccer enthusiasts, know that U.S. Men's National Soccer Team star and Hershey, Penn. native Christian Pulisic will be making his English Premier League debut for the world famous soccer club CHELSEA this weekend (25D: [Posh neighborhood of London or New York]). It is possible that Pulisic will become the first American-born megastar in a top European league. It will be fun to see his journey in Merry Olde England!
"Sports will make you smarter" moment of the day: AJA (64D: [Best-selling Steely Dan album] – Already one of the top players in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson has already been named to the WNBA All-Star game in her first two seasons as a professional. Wilson won WNBA Rookie of the Year last season and, while at the University of South Carolina, led the Gamecocks to the program's first-ever basketball national championship in 2017. While at Carolina, Wilson was named SEC Player of the Year and a consensus First-Team All America three times, winning the national player of the year in the spring of 2018.
Thank you so much for your time and attention, and I hope you CHEER UP soon if you ended up not being a fan of my pinch-hitting role tonight (2D: ["Come on, things aren't so bad"]). Have a great rest of your Tuesday!
Jeff Eddings's Universal Crossword, "Double DI-P"—Judge Vic's write-up
Jeff Eddings's Universal Crossword, "Double DI-P," Aug. 6, 2019, solution
See if you can figure it out from the title and the reveal and the theme answers:
51a Smoky soup legumes, or a phonetic and visual hint to interpreting two letters in 7-, 10- and 21-Down SPLIT PEAS. A phonetic and visual hint that obviously is going to apply to the letter P, I suppose.
7d Sit-ins and such CIVIL PSOBEPENCE. Aha! We must treat P as D/I, to glean DISOBEDIENCE.
10d Classic song, say OLPE-BUT-GOOPE. OLDIE-BUT-GOODIE.
21d Its members are often told when to applaud STUPO AUPENCE. STUDIO AUDIENCE.
Clever. Creative. Way too hard for the Arkansas non-NYT-solvers' union. Who seem to have ceased airing their complaints, FWIW. I did not get the theme until I was writing this. This felt like a Times Thursday.
Other stuff that caught my attention:
UN REPS, TEEPEE, YEAH NO, UNOCAL, RAGERS, TO NOW, MY DEAR.
Matt Jones's Jonesin' Crossword, "Kickin' It Around" – Derek's write-up
Jonesin' 08/06/2019
I have mentioned a few times here that my timer on Across Lite doesn't automatically start on these Jonesin' puzzles, and I often forget to start it. I had a similar problem with one of the recent Inkubator puzzles as well. (I think it was the contest puzzle.) You computer savvy solvers must tell me, or the producers of these files, how to fix it! (Or maybe it is just me who has the issue!) Let's learn about women's pro soccer today:
17A [Speedometer locations] DASHBOARDS
29A [Part of the French Revolution noted for guillotines] REIGN OF TERROR
47A [Cheerleader's equivalent to "jazz hands"] SPIRIT FINGERS – This is a new term to me.
64A [Annual June celebration] PRIDE MONTH
62A [Pro sports org. with teams whose names begin the four theme entries] NWSL
Yes, the NWSL is the National Women's Soccer League, and the teams cited are: The Houston Dash, Reign FC (they play in Tacoma, WA), the Washington Spirit, and the Orlando Pride. The league is only 9 teams, but I am sure it will keep growing. Many of the stars from the US Women's World Cup champions play in this league. I still have never seen an MLS game, so now I have two more leagues on my list to go see! Nice puzzle, even if you're not a soccer fan. 4.4 stars.
A few more highlights:
15A [Jordan heard in "Toy Story 4"] PEELE – I still haven't seen Us yet. Been too busy!
24A [2006 Nintendo debut] WII – Has it been that long?? We had one of these, and I believe one of my son's has a Switch that he plays.
34A [Brad's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" costar] LEO – Timely, as this movie comes out later this week. Nicely done!
51A [Willamette University locale] SALEM – This clue seems to have a local flavor for Matt … !
25D [Outfielder's yell] "I GOT IT!" – Great phrase. This is not too uncommon, but still a great entry.
33D [Like some country songs] TWANGY – Is that new country/rap song that is so popular "twangy" as well? I don't listen to much music on the radio, so I have no idea!
55D ["___ Majesty's Secret Service"] ON HER – You can't go wrong with a James Bond reference!
61D [Celebrity chef Matsuhisa, or his restaurant] NOBU – I would love to eat at one of these fancy restaurants. Can someone loan me $2,000.00 so it can happen? I will need air fare as well, thus the high price!
I still need a nap … I am getting old!
Craig Stowe's LA Times crossword – Derek's write-up
I have done several Craig Stowe puzzles at this point, so the time on this one was rather quick. This theme is a fairly common vowel-sequence theme, but done slightly differently:
18A [MI5 headquarters named for a London river] THAMES HOUSE
23A [TV show intro tune] THEME SONG
33A [Amount defined by a small sewing gadget] THIMBLEFUL – Is this one word? Hyphenated??
42A [Boss Tweed's caricaturist] THOMAS NAST
53A [Pushed-in bulletin board hardware] THUMBTACK
61A [Bouquet garni bunch] THYME SPRIGS
Not only is does this puzzle treat the sequence with a unique set of letters (TH?M), but it also includes the Y as a vowel, and I don't think I have seen that done before in this style. Maybe once, but there are evidently databases that you can check for this kind of thing. I thought this was great 4.7 stars from me, on a puzzle that DEFINITELY didn't "Tuez!"
Just a few more things:
27A ["Who wants my jellyfish? / I'm not sellyfish!" poet] NASH – My favorite poet!
68A [What "lama" has, as opposed to "llama"] ONE L – I cannot believe this clue isn't tied in to 27A in some way!
2D [Truth, to Shakespeare] SOOTH – Ah, Shakespeare. I don't know his stuff nearly well enough to slay on Jeopardy!
19D [Red tape, e.g.] HASSLE – I don't do red tape well.
34D [Misconceptions] FALLACIES – I tried FALSITIES in here. It fit!
51D [Wharton's "__ Frome"] ETHAN – I have a nephew named Ethan, but his last name, thankfully, isn't ALLEN!
That is all for now! Have a great week!
Debbie Ellerin's Wall Street Journal crossword, "Baby, It's Cold Inside"—Jim P's review
It's not often we get a WSJ puzzle from a woman who isn't Zhouqin Burnikel, so I want to highlight that fact.
But Debbie's no newbie to construction, she brings us a beautifully clean grid with a nice theme and strong fill. And a title that's spot on.
The revealer is CENTER ICE (59a, [Hockey face-off site, and what's inside the answers to 17-, 24-, 37- and 48-Across]). Each theme answer has the letters ICE exactly in the center.
Wall St Journal crossword solution · Debbie Ellerin · "Baby, It's Cold Inside" · Tue., 8.6.19
17a [Member of a K-9 unit] POLICE DOG
24a [Menace to society] PUBLIC ENEMY
37a [It's equal to half the mass times the velocity squared] KINETIC ENERGY
48a [Boundary on a tennis court] SERVICE LINE
Typically, it's more desirable to have hidden words (like ICE) spanning two or more words in the entry, as is the case with two of the entries here. But with the added constraint that the hidden word be in the exact center of the entry, I suspect the constructor and editor felt a little more leeway was allowed. I'm inclined to agree and don't mind the first and last theme entries.
I'm always impressed when I see a smooth grid with a central entry that's of an unusual length (i.e. not 3-, 5-, 7-, or 15-letters long). The grid felt so smooth I hardly noticed that central entry was 13-letters long.
Fave bits of fill include PHONE TAG, INFRARED, ALI BABA, and MOO COW. And aside from old standbys DR NO, EIRE, and ESS, there's almost nothing to scowl about.
Very nice puzzle. Four stars.

This Mariners fan appreciates any reference to The Double, Ade! Thanks!
Robert White says:
Crossword Nation: stunned (for lack of a better word) that 45A LODEN was not clued as "Actress/Filmmaker Barbara"
I don't do the Universal regularly, but today it definitely seemed much trickier than other times I've done it. I got the gist of the theme when solving that the P stood for DI when reading down, but I didn't get it visually that a D and I stacked looks like a P when reading down and that the title was essentially "double dip" until after the solve. I liked it!
Brevity is the soul of wit
Jenni Levy says:
"Boxing legend" is not what comes to mind for me when I think of Mike TYSON. "Convicted rapist" and "domestic abuser" are the words I think of.
Billy Boy says:
Don't forget 'Earmuncher'. He's a LOT of things …
I liked the NYT today although despite claims of "Too Old" that I've heard. Toothy for Tuesday? Sure.
@Ade, thanks for noticing #CHELSEA BLUES as a fun addition to the grid. This will be an INTERESTING season for us #Chelsea fans, (*Old Chinese Proverb) especially for those having previously wished that youth get a chance!
*'Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.' or 'May you live in INTERESTING times'.
I wouldn't have guessed at the puzzle's broad unpopularity either. I don't recall having heard of the song (and I couldn't really tell you who Vinton was), but it felt apt and discoverable, which is all I can ask from a theme. For that matter, I don't recall knowing ARCTIC BLUE either, but all the better.
Really enjoyed the Universal theme– it was one of those that confused me during the fill, but all made sense with the revealer. (If the inclusion of Mike TYSON bothers people, may I suggest recluing it as "Boxer Fury"?)
Jenni says:
Hey, boys, just a note: dismissing and ridiculing a woman's concerns about sexual predators is not a good look.
Has a comment been deleted? I just see a reference to him as a dirty fighter, which just adds to his despicable reputation, and an alternative way to clue TYSON. I can't imagine anyone disagreeing with your comment, much less ridiculing it.
Yes, a comment has been deleted, and the "earmuncher" comment is dismissive. I get that you didn't hear it that way, Martin, but I wager I've had far more experience at being dismissed than you have, and I know it when I hear it.
And the irony of having you dismiss my concern about being dismissed is just precious.
I can't speak to the comment I didn't see, and presume it was dismissive. But I'm afraid I just don't see how the earmuncher comment is dismissive. I'm NOT dismissing your concern; I was hoping to better understand it.
If I had said, "Mike Tyson is a rapist" and you had replied, "and he bit a guy's ear off," I would take that as agreement, confirmation, amplification — not dismissal. I'm just struggling to understand your reaction, which I really want to do. I'm not asserting its inappropriate — just that I still find it elusive.
I'm sorry if my comment seemed that way- I was just trying to provide an alternate clue that would be more acceptable. No dismissal or ridicule meant.
Understood. I see no reason why he has to appear in the crosswords at all. There's a perfectly good chicken company and an excellent actor to use as clues for TYSON.
Jenni, my comment was about the boxer Tyson Fury who is a totally different person. Thought it would be a good change if the editor wants to keep the clue sports- or boxing- themed and didn't want to have the association with Mike Tyson.
Thank you for your reviews!
That works for me except I've never heard of him!
Thanks for your understanding! :)
The NYT feels really familiar. Was something very similar done recently, maybe the WSJ or AVCX?

Hartselle Church of Christ spreads Lord's work 100 years
A step of faith that led to the establishment of Hartselle Church of Christ was a protracted tent meeting conducted on a vacant lot in downtown Hartselle 100 years ago.
Plans for the month-long meeting were led by J. Pettey Ezell, minister of Jackson Street Church of Christ, Albany (Decatur) and a group of men from his church,
In a business meeting in June, 1920, they considered using the Hartselle Church of God building for the services but later decided to install a tent across from the L&N Railroad depot.
The services were conducted from mid-June to mid-July, 1920, with Ezell as the main preacher. He was assisted by John T. Lewis from Nashville, Tenn. and C. M. Pullias.
It was through their preaching and leadership that first Church of Christ was organized in Hartselle with 17 charter members on July 17, 1920.
Charter members are listed as follows: Mrs. Kate Morrison, Miss Johnnie Morrison, Mrs. Lena McClanahan, Mrs. Georgie Bryant, Mrs. Della Crutchfield, Miss Marie Crutchfeld, Mrs. Lucy Hartselle, Mrs. Alice Kent, Mr. John L. Schnabel, Mrs. John L. Schnabel, Me. Neill, Mrs. Nell, Mrs. Etta E. Speigle, Miss Mary Edith Speigle, Mr. Sneed, Mrs. Sneed and Mrs. Collins.
The church is celebrating its centennial with special events throughout 2020. A Kickoff & Open House was observed Feb. 1. Homecoming Sunday is slated for March 29 with a special invitation extended to all former ministers, church members and their families. A tent meeting will be conducted on the parking lot on the west side of the church building May 29-31 with services at 6 p.m. The church history will be spotlighted at Depot Days' Downtown Memory Lanes on Sept. 14 at 6:30 p.m. A Block Party will be featured on Oct. 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Super Sunday will be observed Dec. 13 at 10 a.m.
The church's first services were conducted in Kate B. Morrison's Boarding House on Hammett Street. Members and visitors sat on cane-bottomed chairs in the living room.
Elizabeth Crutchfield, daughter of Mrs. Lon Crutchfield, recalled that she didn't want to attend the services with her mother because "the chairs were very uncomfortable and the room very hot."
The congregation moved into a new frame building at the corner of Rock and Hammett Streets in Oct. 1920. The lot was purchased from M.D and Eugenia Clemons for $850 and the building was constructed with volunteer labor.
The location was inconvenient, with little parking, even for wagons. The building also left much to be desired. A coal burning stove provided heat, one ceiling light provided lighting and there were no classrooms or modern bathrooms. Members used handheld fans as cooling devices.
Despite its misgivings, it served the congregation's needs for 27 years and apparently had no bearing on the small congregation's passion to serve and worship God.
The church struggled financially during its formative years. For example, a financial report for 1933 showed a Jan. 1 balance of $50.48. Average monthly offerings for the year were $9.45, leaving a year end balance of $6.93.
A move to build a new church building and relocate was made in April. 1945 when the church purchased a vacant lot at Rodgers and Sparkman Streets for $2,250. A modern brick building, consisting of an auditorium, classrooms and staff offices was constructed on the site and opened in Nov. 1947. The project was led by Hollis Roberson as minister and E.H. Bennett, J. M. Dunaway and H. L. Slate as elders.
Members placed emphasis on reducing church debt in the 1950s. They also did mission work; sent funds to Auburn for special school work; gave to Brookhaven; supported African mission work; held gospel meetings and supported the Greensboro building fund.
Sunday School attendance averaged 125 to 130 people in 1957 while attendance at worship services averaged 150 to 175. Contributions averaged $175 to $190 per Sunday.
Responding to membership growth, the church used $15,000 from its building fund and borrowed additional money to fund the remodeling of its existing church building. The project consisted of three more classrooms, a nursery, two restrooms, a study for the minister, and 70 additional seats in the auditorium. The building was also
given a new look with the removal of the front steps and installation of stained glass front windows.
The church also borrowed $18,000 from Mutual Savings in June 1958 to pay off a $540.59 outstanding loan and hire a contractor to build a minister's home in West Hartselle. The three-bedroom brick house was completed in September the next year at a cost of $14,275.
A church directory published in 1959 listed Charles B. Stidham as minister, E. H. Bennett, E. O. Creel, H. L. Slate and Dr. Sam Martin as elders and Jimmy H. NeSmith, Grady Nicholson, B. R. Stidham, J. B. Warren and A. T. Woodall as deacons.
A third building program was completed in 1972 with the addition of a glass-enclosed front concourse. Other additions included doubling the seating capacity of the auditorium, installing carpeting, exposed beams, wood paneling, nursery room, two offices, fellowship room, communion preparation room, restrooms and utility closet.
Phillip Hines has served as minister of the church for over 39 years. He assumed the position in Sept. 1980 after serving as minister of Leighton Church of Christ for seven years.
"I was scared at first, being a young preacher serving a large church," he recalled. "But the folks here treated me and my family like royalty and I have never looked back."
Hines described his congregation as "a loving, caring, generous body of Christians
that really want to serve the Lord."
"I know one day my time will be up. I'll retire and remain a citizen of Hartselle," he pointed out. "When that happens, my prayer will be that the church remains strong, as a light on the hill, and the transition will be a smooth one."
Serving on the ministerial staff with Hines are Todd Barrier and Frank Thornton.
Elders are Talmadge Reynolds, Darrell Sims, Alan Walker, Phillip Hines and Lee Hobbs.
Deacons are Phillip Binkley, Tony Ford, Harry Fuller, Ed Monroe , Jim Reeder, Mike Runager, Tim Tanklsey, Cooper Wigginton,Tim Brown, Scott Forsythe, Kerry Hamlett, Tony Parker, Matt Reynolds, B.C. Smith, Terry Thompson, Charles Crawford, Bobby Fox, Jeff Harris, Bradley Phillips, Mark Reynolds, Jimmy Summerford and Don Wear.

You Can Rent Reese Witherspoon's Big Little Lies Beach House — For a Price
by Justina Huddleston
Image: Malibu Luxury Vacation Homes.
If you've ever fantasized about living the luxe life on the beaches of California, chances are you've tuned into HBO's Big Little Lies to see how it's done. Of course, as we've seen on the show, things aren't always what they seem — and that includes Reese Witherspoon's character's house. On the show, the resplendent oceanfront mansion is located in Monterey Bay, but in real life, it's in Malibu, an exclusive beach community to the northwest of Los Angeles. The good news? It's available to rent!
Finally, you can live out your dreams of being a badass blond like Madeline Mackenzie herself. The stately home clocks in at a whopping 6,000 square feet and has sweeping ocean views from the dining room, kitchen, living room and master bedroom, with two balcony porches and an outdoor entertaining area in the backyard, which features a sandy trail leading to an 80-foot swath of near-private beach.
The price per night is a little steep for your average family vacation. It'll cost you between $3,000-$5,000 a night. Thankfully, there's plenty of room. The house has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, including two master suites, so you could theoretically split the house with a group of friends to bring down the cost. The only thing left to do is fight over who gets which master suite – one has a private balcony and a fireplace outside so you can stay warm while enjoying the crashing surf at night, while the other has a romantic jacuzzi on the deck.
In case that's not quite enough space for you, there's also a 950-square foot guest house, perfect for couples who want a little privacy from the group (or you could make all the kids stay there so that the grownups can go Big Little Lies-style buckwild on vacation. Minus the murder, abuse, and, well, lies).
The grass is always greener on the other side, and while we probably wouldn't actually want to live the truly stressful life of Witherspoon's Mackenzie, for the right price we can at least soak up some luxury in her glorious beach house.

Fictional characters model the human range, sometimes embodying layers and dimensions that inspire readers to rise to their own occasions or to communicate greater emotional depths. They may deepen readers' empathetic capacity, as J.K. Rowling suggests, or illustrate the search for an inner space, or person, who understands more than they do, as Renee Gladman speaks of her narrators. Beyond being engaging or complex characters, the emperors, donkeys, roosters, and everyday humans in David Rutschman's Into Terrible Light (Forklift Books, 2017), charge readers to acknowledge the tender and fearful aspects of being the ruling animal.
is not a fixed position.
could ever be excluded from right now.
Both suggest that this book's scope extends beyond the page.
Rutschman is a Sōtō Zen priest and hospice counselor, biographical details that encourage reading his stories as koans or parables, but they draw on an old sense of the word "parable," taken from the ancient Greek root, παραβολή, meaning to place side by side, in comparison, or analogy. Stories with titles like "Fatherhood," "Thomas Jefferson," and "The Devil's New Red Axe" ask readers to slide in for a moment beside their protagonists, under the bright light of awareness that exposes them on the page.
It can be a disconcerting experience, as when we find ourselves in traffic, or in line, suddenly full of anger as irrational as it is real. We know ourselves capable at such times of fury, but has it ever blazed hot enough to hit a stray dog with a milk crate? Or, can we imagine happening on such a dog who has been beaten to death, as the protagonist Richard does in "Voices of Smoke"? Would we cover it with our coat, or turn away with a gasp? Would we get a shovel to bury it, or lower the zipper of our pants to urinate on its carcass, as he considers doing, if not for the windows of a school shining behind him like so many eyes?
No, Richard is no model of virtue, or virtuous potential, but an illustration of the institutions that govern or fail to govern us. Once behind closed doors, he pushes the woman he lives with into the kitchen table, as if he cannot help returning violence with violence. A believable rather than redemptive figure, Richard embodies the process by which we would control others, and ourselves.
I first encountered Rutschman's writing in The Sun, through "The Hogs, The Sow, The Wind," which is the fourth story in this collection. I admired his characters' consciousness that they suffer the slings and arrows not only of fate but also of their own smallness.
In the opening paragraph, the hogs and sow are faced with a dire predicament. The old man who brings food to them has died and left them trapped in the pen to fend for themselves as best they can. We might imagine cleverer options than the ones they invent, or we might imagine that we would respond with less or more generosity, but any surety we might grasp dissolves by the end. As the hog realizes, it is too hard to keep greed, gratitude, or desperation from morphing into something else.
"Simple" is a more complicated story than the title suggests, considering that two stories bear this title. The second "Simple" shares the same introductory information as the first: "Buenos Aires, 1979," but the full text of the second story contains only Gutierriez's full name and birthdate in a font that recedes on the page. Given that Rutschman was born in 1974, and lived in Argentina until he was five, he may have witnessed this scene himself. The line between imagined and real worlds blur, as the story serves as a means of telling Nora Gutierrez what happened to her husband.
Regardless of whether "Simple" is fiction or not, finally, every story in Into Terrible Light makes as insistent a request as Gutierrez's—to look at what is happening or has happened, and to act. Observation is the action, when we position ourselves alongside these characters and recognize them in ourselves. It is easier to find ennobling traits than repulsive ones, but both can move us, as if by red-inked workshop comments, to develop greater awareness of our own character and our dynamism, freedom, and complex humanity.

1982 "Fresh Air" Interview with John Cage
Terry Gross brings out the wacky genius of John Cage and features a sampling of Cage's composition. Cage emphasizes "making new" and living a virginal life. What's most interesting about Cage's philosophy is his insistence to discard and disregard relationships. He firmly believes in letting the thing in itself stand alone, which is summarily antithetical to the "only connect" aesthetic. The particular is the predominate focus and to relate or connect induces paralysis.

Harper's Magazine is on a roll
More greatness from Harper's Magazine, "Plato's World" published Sunday, June 6, 2009.
In Plato's day, the world itself seemed boundless beyond comprehension, its resources inexhaustible, and the dangers and wonders of nature were a test for human knowledge. With the passage of time, humanity has grown much more conscious of the finite nature of the earth and its resources. And with time, Plato's conceptualization of the earth as a living creature has also become a more appealing model–it pointed the way to discovery of the ecological systems by which the world breathed, moved, transformed and regenerated itself. Today humanity approaches final mastery of the world–but what does this mean for the world-soul and for humanity's ultimate survival in its terrestrial setting?
"George Harrison went to India and brought back a sitar"
Just the shot in the arm needed for inspiration, Terence McNally on his KPFK show, Free Forum, has introduced the source of holistic, systems thinking and the mastermind behind the philosophy of Ecological Awareness, Fritjof Capra. His work seems to have inspired much admired writers, activists, and social workers such as Leny Mendoza Strobel and her new Center for Babaylan Studies.
Will have to crack open this new universe and explore fully, but for now, here's a small audio tasting. Capra interviewed by Terrence McNally, April 7, 2009
http://64.27.15.184/parchive/mp3/kpfk_090407_120100freeforum.mp3
Abstract from "A Crisis of Perception" | Integral Studies | Thomas Maxwell | University of Vermont:
Ecological Awareness
This widening of our "circle of understanding and compassion" requires a new mode of perception which transcends the illusion of separateness to discern the unity, the "unbroken wholeness" from which emerges the diverse forms of existence. This awakened perception gives rise to a more integrative, holistic, and ecological perception of the cosmos. Capra (1996) asserts that this emerging holistic worldview, which he calls "deep ecological awareness", "recognizes the fundamental interdependence of all phenomena and the fact that, as individuals and societies, we are all embedded in (and ultimately dependent on) the cyclical processes of nature" (p 6). Although this vision can be elaborated through science, its principal grounding is in spiritual experience. It will require an integrated epistemology that embraces both the rational knowledge of scientific empiricism and the inner knowledge of spiritual experience. "Ultimately, deep ecological awareness is spiritual or religious awareness. When the concept of the human spirit is understood as the mode of consciousness in which the individual feels a sense of belonging, of connectedness, to the cosmos as a whole, it becomes clear that ecological awareness is spiritual in its deepest essence. It is not surprising that the emerging new vision of reality based on deep ecological awareness is consistent with the so-called Perennial Philosophy of spiritual traditions, whether we talk about the spirituality of Christian mystics, that of Buddhists, or the philosophy and cosmology underlying the Native American traditions" (p. 7). This "deep ecological awareness" fosters a vision of the cosmos as fundamentally sacred.
Capra's universe is fortuitously right next door, to boot!

Q: Is this efficient for a tableview? I am just trying to clarify that this is the easiest and most efficient way to make the array of titles for the cells in my tableview.
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

contentArray = [[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hi1", @"Hi2", @"Hi3", @"Hi4", @"Hi5", @"Hi6", @"Hi7", nil] retain];
return [contentArray count];

[contentArray release];
}

Should I be doing this another way or this efficient and the best it can be? Because currently it is a bit laggy and I would like to make it a bit faster.
Thanks!

A: Calls to the method tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: can be triggered by different events. You are creating the array on each call, which increases the lag. Try this instead:
// .h file
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray *contentArray;

// .m file
@synthesize contentArray=_contentArray;

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return [self.contentArray count];
}

-(void) viewDidLoad {
  self.contentArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hi1", @"Hi2", @"Hi3", @"Hi4", @"Hi5", @"Hi6", @"Hi7", nil];
  [super viewDidLoad];
}
-(void) dealloc {
    [_contentArray release]
    [super dealloc];
}

A: What you do in this method has pretty much no influence at all on the scrolling performance of your table view because it is only going to be called a very limited number of times (unless your table contains hundreds or thousands of sections).
That said, your code contains many errors. Firstly, the line below return is never executed so you have a memory leak. Secondly, you should create the array outside the method and use a property to store it. But that has less to do with performance and more with good coding style. After all, you will need the contents of the array in multiple methods.

A leading cause of respiratory diseases, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is often responsible for cases of pneumonia and bronchitis in children. Recent research suggests that this virus manipulates host cells to increase its spread within a patient. The virus' F-protein acts to increase the movement of infected cells and promote the growth of filopodia, thin cellular protrusions which contact neighbouring cells, allowing the virus to move between them. Pictured, virus particles (in green) travel along filopodia (visible in red) from an infected cell, on the left, to the surface of another. This process also depends on a host protein, ARP2, which associates with actin, a key component of the cytoskeleton, determining the shape and growth of cellular extensions. Eliminating ARP2 reduces the movement of infected cells, the development of filopodia and the spread of RSV, making the interaction between RSV and ARP2 a potential target for future treatments.

Kesha to receive HRC Nashville's Visibility Award /
Kesha to receive HRC Nashville's Visibility Award
Singer, songwriter and rapper Kesha will be honored at the 21st Annual HRC Nashville Equality Dinner on Saturday, March 5, 2016, with HRC Nashville's Visibility Award, the organization announced this week.
"Kesha has unapologetically used her influence and international platform to bring attention to the challenges faced by the LGBT community," said Blake Brockway, co-chair of this year's dinner, in the announcement. "We are proud to welcome her to the HRC Nashville Equality Dinner and honor her with this year's Visibility Award."
The Visibility Award recognizes the outstanding efforts of those who use their incredible talent and visibility to help better the lives of LGBT people. Kesha has used her spotlight to bring attention to the bullying and harassment that many LGBT young people continue to face. In an interview with Seventeen magazine, she said, "I'm all about standing up to gay/lesbian/transgender bullying, but it's also about my little brother. He's 13 and he gets made fun of because he has a stutter. I just have zero tolerance for people making fun of others."
Though she was born in Los Angeles, Kesha has been a Nashville resident since 1991 when her mother, Patricia Rose "Pebe" Sebert — who co-wrote the Dolly Parton classic, "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle To You," with then-husband Hugh Moffatt — moved the family to town. Kesha later recorded the song on her EP Deconstructed.
The Visibility Award will be presented by singer-songwriter Wrabel, who will also perform at the event.
"Wrabel is an incredibly talented rising star, and we are thrilled that he will be performing at our HRC Nashville Equality Dinner," said Brockway in the announcement. "We are looking forward to an inspiring performance that will make the evening even more memorable."
The 21st Annual HRC Nashville Equality Dinner – "Stronger Together: Moving Equality Forward" – will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, 2016, at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel. To purchase tickets to the HRC Nashville Equality Dinner or receive more information about the event, visit www.hrc.org/nashville.

Southern Baptist Convention quells controversy, adopts revised measure condemning alt-right The SBC's Committee on Resolutions initially rejected the measure by not electing to place it up for a vote at a Tuesday session at the convention's annual meeting, saying the language of the resolution was "inflammatory." Check out this story on azcentral.com: http://azc.cc/2t3wXiF

Texas pastor William D. McKissic Sr. says public criticism at the Southern Baptist Convention of his resolution to disavow the "alt-right'' movement was "unfair" and "inappropriate."
William McKissic and Barett Duke speak after vote.(Photo: Robert Gundran)
The Southern Baptist Convention on Wednesday passed a revised resolution condemning the alt-right movement.
The vote came a day after the SBC rejected a similar measure, drawing sharp criticism from its sponsor during the group's national meeting in downtown Phoenix.
"Alt-right" — short for alternative-right — is a term often applied to those whose political views embrace white nationalism, racism and anti-Semitism.
The new resolution passed almost unanimously among the 5,000 members in attendance at a Wednesday afternoon session, after language was removed that leaders objected to Tuesday.
The new resolution explicitly denounces both the alt-right and white supremacy in all forms. It includes the following language:
RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, June 13-14, 2017, decry every form of racism, including alt-right white supremacy, as antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and be it further
RESOLVED, That we denounce and repudiate white supremacy and every form of racial and ethnic hatred as of the devil ..."
Texas pastor William D. McKissic Sr. initially offered a resolution titled, "On the Condemnation of the "Alt-Right" Movement and the Roots of White Supremacy" that did not gain approval by a two-thirds majority of the SBC's Committee on Resolutions prior to the Phoenix meeting.
A vote by the full group was allowed on Tuesday to determine whether the resolution should be considered, but the motion was overwhelmingly rejected. The group later agreed to bring back a revised resolution.
A noteworthy omission in the new text is McKissic's condemnation of the "Curse of Ham," a biblical passage that was used in the past to justify slavery by the SBC.
The passage from McKissic's original resolution included this language:
WHEREAS, the roots of White Supremacy within a "Christian context" is based on the so-called "curse of Ham" theory once prominently taught by the SBC in the early years—echoing the belief that God through Noah ordained descendants of Africa to be subservient to Anglos—which provided the theological justification for slavery and segregation. The SBC officially renounces the "curse of Ham" theory in this Resolution;
Frank Page, SBC Executive Committee chief, told the Anderson (S.C.) Independent Mail the original resolution was extreme, but the subsequent resolution forcefully condemns racism, which, he said, the convention has done for decades.
Page said the Southern Baptist Convention is Christianity's most diverse denomination, with one in five churches being ethnically diverse.
"We don't just talk about resolutions; we do it," Page said.
Barrett Duke, SBC Committee on Resolutions chairman, apologized to McKissic that it took the SBC another day to accept the resolution.
McKissic was satisfied with Wednesday's outcome.
"I think we're back to a good place, after a 24-hour roller-coaster ride," he said.
However, he added, the SBC's position on the language that was removed still needs clarification.
"I think until they go back and denounce the Curse of Ham specifically, we're going to periodically have these problems," McKissic said.
Coming to an agreement
The 2017 SBC Committee on Resolutions has 10 members. This year the panel had seven white men, one white woman, one Hispanic man and one African-American man.
"If you'll look at the makeup of the committee, you'll see exactly how this happened," McKissic said. "Yeah, we have 20 percent minorities (in the church), but we don't run anything.''
On Tuesday, McKissic asked the committee to reconsider its stance during a call for questions after nine other resolutions were passed, prompting SBC officials to hold another vote to determine whether the convention wanted to vote on the resolution at a future meeting. That vote failed.
On Tuesday, Duke said the SBC wasn't necessarily against the spirit of McKissic's resolution, but felt the language used was "inflammatory," prompting McKissic to approach SBC officials after the session and demand more time to explain his resolution.
Just what is the alt-right movement anyway? USA TODAY
The SBC Committee on Resolutions agreed to reconsider whether the resolution would be brought to the floor. The convention then voted to consider the revised resolution.
"The alt-right is a platform for racist ideologies to take hold, and exacerbate in our society, and is a reason for many of the hate crimes we've seen lately," said Charles Hedman, a convention attendee who spoke from the floor Wednesday, imploring others to vote in favor of the resolution.
Recent resolutions passed by the SBC have aimed to distance the denomination from its Confederate roots. The 2016 SBC passed a resolution recognizing the Confederate flag as a symbol of hatred and bigotry and asked its members to discontinue displaying the flag.
In 1995, the SBC passed a resolution recognizing that in the convention's history it has opposed civil rights for African-Americans and used biblical teachings to justify racial prejudice and discrimination.
Page said he and the convention recognize and take responsibility for what they see as the previous mistakes of the convention.
"We own our past; we can't change our past," he said.
If you're at SBC, get to the hall immediately! Important business to address. Gospel commitment denounces racism! #SBC17

The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant body in the United States, was created in the mid-19th century when members split from the northern Baptists (now American Baptist Churches USA) over the issue of slavery.
In a 2014 Pew Research Center study, 85 percent of SBC members identified as white, 6 percent identified as black and 3 percent were Latino.
The remaining 6 percent identified as Asian, mixed or other.
The resolution adopted Wednesday says more than 20 percent of Southern Baptist congregations identify as predominantly "non-Anglo." In the past three years, more than half of new church plants have been predominantly "non-Anglo."

Asking a celebrity interview subject about his/her relationship to Taylor Swift has become a journalistic rite of passage as of late, and we recently got an interesting anecdote about America's favorite leggy, belly button-less Squad Leader in a new Rolling Stone profile of Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd.
The Weeknd explained that he met Taylor Swift at Sam Smith's Grammy party this February (at "an $80 million mansion in Bel-Air," naturally). After telling him how much she loved his music, a presumably drunk Swift pulled the quintessential clueless white person move and started stroking his Basquiat-inspired 'do.
Oh Tay, no. Just no. Anyone else ready for that Taylor Swift hiatus to start already?


Porsche stopped selling diesel versions of their Panamera and Macan cars back in February, now they have announced that they will no longer produce any more diesel Porsches. Demand for all diesel cars is falling, and it is predicted that sales will account for only 30% of all cars sold from a high of almost 50% a few years ago. Only 12% of Porsche sales were diesel, but with their first electric car the Taycan due next year, Porsche's announcement could be the start of an industry wide change.
The fall out from diesel is also affecting Le Mans 24 hours endurance race, where both Audi and Porsche have quit. In response the organisers, the ACO, are now looking to promote new technologies through a 'Carbon neutral' team. One option is a hydrogen powered car, both Audi and BMW are known to looking into the technology so there could be exciting times ahead.

Uighurs: China rebuffs Pope's criticism as 'groundless'
Beijing has dismissed Pope Francis's criticisms of its treatment of China's Muslim Uighur minority in Xinjiang. It came after the head of the Roman Catholic Church joined a growing group of international voices, describing the Uighurs as "persecuted" in a new book. It is believed that the Chinese government has detained up to a million Uighurs in what the state defines as "re-education camps". China's foreign ministry said the Pope's remarks were "groundless".
In his book Let Us Dream: The Path to A Better Future, Pope Francis writes that "I think often of persecuted peoples: the Rohingya, the poor Uighurs, the Yazidi". It is the first time he mentions the Uighurs in that context. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian responded saying Beijing "has always protected the legal rights of ethnic minorities equally".

Q: Bean Validation Pattern (start with) is failing I am using a simple bean validation pattern that should validate if a string starts with TX. When i enter a valid string that starts with TX the validation fails. Is there something wrong with my regex?
@Pattern(regexp = "^TX", message = "ID must start with TX", flags = Pattern.Flag.CASE_INSENSITIVE)
private String txId;

A: You should probably use
 @Pattern(regexp = "^TX.*$", message = "ID must start with TX", flags =         Pattern.Flag.CASE_INSENSITIVE)
 private String txId;

to really validate that string starts with TX and not consists of just TX at the beginning.

JEAN-FRANCOIS MONIER
Guy Ligier, an all-round athlete who went on to a lucrative business career and fame as a Formula One team owner, has died at age 85, French media reported Sunday.
Ligier made his F1 debut in the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix as a driver but left that role following the racing death of friend Jo Schlesser in 1968, taking an interest in the business side of racing instead.
Ligier moved into sports car construction, bought Matra Sports in 1974 to enter Formula One and posted nine victories between 1976 and 1996 with drivers Jacques Laffite, Patrick Depailler, Didier Pironi and Olivier Panis
Ligier later sold his operations to world-champion driver Alain Prost.
A champion rower and national-team rugby player in France as a young man, Ligier discovered racing in his late 20s and earned motorcycle titles before taking an interest in cars.
He went on to make substantial money in the engineering and construction industry.

Wider rear tyres
The rear tyres are wider – up to 420mm – compared to the 380mm ones used now. The greater contact patch will give cars more "muscle" and higher mechanical grip.
The nose will extend 200mm further towards the front starting from the front axle, while the front wing width could increase from the current 825mm to 925mm.
Lower rear wing?
The rear wing will be substantially lower but with a greater projection towards the rear of the car: the top flap is down from 945mm to 800mm, while the lower flap is down to 600mm from 740mm.
Longer diffuser
In order to increase downforce, the rear diffuser will be longer. The side plates of the rear wing will be inclined towards the rear.

Did you know that Monaco's hairpin is the slowest, tightest corner on the calendar? Or that Rubens Barrichello has recorded the most podiums in the Principality without a win? We bring you all the need-to-know stats, facts and trivia ahead of the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2015 …
Graham Hill earned the nickname 'Mr Monaco' thanks to his five victories in the Principality
Monaco hosted the second round of the inaugural Formula One World Championship in 1950, the race being won by Juan Manuel Fangio in an Alfa Romeo. However, there was then a four-year gap before Formula One racing returned to Monte Carlo in 1955. The Monaco Grand Prix has remained on the calendar ever since, with only Monza having played host to more races.
Although the basic layout of the circuit has remained the same since the inaugural world championship race in 1950, several revisions have been made over the years, most notably in 1973 when the building of a swimming pool on the harbour front necessitated the use of a new section. The current final corners, La Rascasse and Anthony Noghes, were introduced in the same year in place of the Gasworks hairpin.
The circuit will be revised again for the 2015 race – very slightly. Minor realignment of Turns 12-14 (Tabac to the Swimming Pool) means this year's lap will be 3m shorter than in 2014. As a result, Michael Schumacher's lap record, which has stood since 2004, will change hands on Sunday.
Ayrton Senna secured his fifth Monaco win by the smallest margin in history – 0.215s
An extraordinary amount of equipment is required to turn Monaco's ordinary roads into a fully-fledged race circuit. Included in that list is 33 kilometres of safety rails, 20,000 square metres of wire catch fencing, 3,600 tyres for tyre barriers and 1,100 tonnes of grandstand seating for spectators. Some 650 marshals are also stationed around the track on a race weekend.
Graham Hill was nicknamed 'Mr Monaco' for his five victories in the Principality, but it's Ayrton Senna who holds the record for the most wins in Monte Carlo – six, including five consecutive victories from 1989 to 1993. Of course, were it not for an uncharacteristic crash at Portier 12 laps from the end of the 1988 race the great Brazilian would have seven victories to his name. Having finished second in 1984 and third in 1986, Senna also holds the record for most Monaco podiums with eight.
Nico Rosberg is going for his third successive Monaco win in this year's race. The only other drivers to have won three or more in a row are Senna, Alain Prost and Graham Hill. Fernando Alonso is the only other multiple Monaco winner on the current grid, having won in 2006 and 2007. Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel have all won once.
In terms of manufacturers, no one has been as dominant in Monaco as McLaren, who have triumphed at the street track on 15 occasions. By contrast Ferrari have taken eight wins, but considerably more overall podium finishes (48 to McLaren's 26).
Victory this year would make Nico Rosberg only the fourth man in history to win at Monaco three or more times in a row
Alonso's 2007 win was achieved at an average speed of 155.551km/h (96.654 mph) – the fastest winning speed in Monaco history. The slowest winning speed – 98.700 km/h (61.329 mph) – came at the first race in 1950, though in the same event Juan Manuel Fangio recorded the joint biggest winning margin in Monaco history – one whole lap. Graham Hill and Denny Hulme also won by a lap, in 1964 and 1967 respectively. The smallest winning margin came in 1992 when Ayrton Senna beat Nigel Mansell by just 0.215s.
Rubens Barrichello holds the record for the most Monaco podiums without a win – five. Double world champion Jim Clark holds the record for most Monaco pole positions without winning the race – four. And Nigel Mansell holds the record for the most laps led in Monaco without ever winning – 104. Michael Schumacher – a five-time Monaco winner – holds the record for the most laps led in the Principality – 435.
As overtaking is so difficult at Monaco, it's perhaps unsurprising that nine of the past ten races have been won from pole position (the only outlier being Lewis Hamilton's win from third on the grid in 2008). However, pole hasn't always been so important at the venue – in fact, the pole sitter has only emerged victorious 28 times in 61 races.
Olivier Beretta is one of just two Monegasque drivers to have raced in F1
Olivier Panis holds the record for winning from the lowest grid slot, having triumphed from 14th on the grid in 1996. The same race featured the lowest number of cars running at the flag – just four. Panis incidentally is one of three drivers whose only career wins came at Monaco. The other two are Jean-Pierre Beltoise (1972) and Jarno Trulli (2004).
Two drivers have represented Monaco in Formula One history – Olivier Beretta and Louis Chiron. Chiron took his one and only F1 podium finish on home soil in 1950, finishing third behind Fangio and Alberto Ascari. Aged 50, he remains the second oldest F1 podium finisher.
At 3.34 km, Monaco is not only the shortest circuit on the calendar, it can also boast the sport's slowest, tightest corner. Turn 6 – the hairpin – is taken at around 50 km/h (31 mph) and requires the drivers to apply maximum steering lock in order to make it around.
Not surprisingly given the nature of the circuit, the safety car tends to make frequent appearances in Monaco. In fact, ten of the last 15 races have featured one or more safety-car periods. Last year there were two, both the result of collisions: the first when Sergio Perez spin and collided with Adrian Sutil and Romain Grosjean, and the second when Sutil lost control coming out of the tunnel and crashed at the chicane.

Decoding the McLaren 12C
By AjitPandey Mar 17, 2015
Descendent of the F1, check out the top features of the McLaren 12C
1. Seamless Shift Gearbox-
Seven-speed gearbox delivers uninterrupted power supply during gear shifts.
2. Carbon MonoCell-
25% lighter than regular aluminium chassis
3. Tuning the airflow-
Guide vanes at the back and front divert turbulent air and keep it off from interfering with air-floe over the body
4. Steer-by-brakes
These brakes were invented by McLaren itself. Powerful for tightening corner lines.
5. McLaren designed V8 engine-
592hp produced by the 3.8 litre V8 twin-turbo engine. Presumably, the most efficient supercar engine ever produced.
6. Aluminium Copper wiring
Electrical system developed by McLaren is entirely new. Aluminium-copper combination is used saving approximately 4kg over regular wiring.
India's F1 hope Daruvala to make single seater debut at Fortec
By AjitPandey Dec 29, 2014
Young Indian driver Jehan Daruvala will embark on his single-seater racing career with the reputed Fortec Motorsport squad in the Formula Renault Renault 2.0 championship after three successful seasons in karting.
The Vijay Mallya-backed driver today confirmed that he will be doing seven rounds of the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup (NEC), three rounds of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and a couple in the Formula Renault 2.0 ALPS.
The NEC series is expected to get underway in April and that alone costs around 300,000 pounds a season, clearly suggesting that one can't just survive on skills in the expensive world of motorsport.
The 16-year-old from Mumbai is aware that the required transition from karts to junior single seaters could pave the way for bigger things including his 'dream' Formula 1 drive with Force India.
"This could be the beginning of something big but I am just thinking about performance like I did in karting. Anyway, I think I will have to do a bigger series after this (Formula Renault 2.0) to have a shot at Formula 1. I can't think of anyone else other than Kimi Raikkonen, who has made it to F1 straight after 2.0," Daruvala told PTI from Mumbai.
He secured the Fortec seat after 16 days of testing across Nurburgring, Spa, Barcelona and Jerez.
"Next I will head back to the UK to some simulator time and by first race of the season, I would have done another 12 days of testing," said Daruvala.
He claimed that he was only two tenths of a second slower than reigning NEC champion Ben Barnicoat during testing, giving him confidence ahead of his debut.
How was it like driving a Formula car after karts?
"The biggest change I found is that you feel stuck in the car and because of that your vision is blocked. It is also very physical on the neck so I have to work out more and on the key areas. I am sure by the time season starts, I will fully get used to the car," added Daruvala.
Mallya, who has backed Daruvala ever since he became part of the Force India Academy, has already said the teenager has a good chance of being the next Indian in F1 provided he does well in the junior formula.
Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok are only ones from the country to have reached the pinnacle of motorsport.
F1 hero Michael Schumacher can now recognise family and friends
Philippe Streiff said the seven-time F1 World Champ "had yet to recover the power of speech" but had "limited movement"
Improvement: Michael Schumacher and Philippe Streiff
Stricken Michael Schumacher can now recognise close family and friends, according to another former Formula One driver.
Philippe Streiff said the seven-time F1 World Champ "had yet to recover the power of speech".
Streiff, 59, told Le Parisien Schumacher was "nevertheless starting to recognise those close to him".
But Sabine Kehm, 45-year-old Schumacher's manager, said he faced a "long, hard fight" to recover from the skiing accident which almost killed him.
Streiff, who was left quadriplegic after a crash in 1989, claimed he got his information from Schumacher's wife and his surgeon.
But Kehm said: "I do not know where Mr Streiff has got his information.
"He has no contact with us and he never has."
Monday is the first anniversary of the Formula 1 legend's skiing accident in the French Alps which left him fighting for life in an induced coma.
Streiff, described by the newspaper as a long-time friend, said he had gleaned the information from contact with the German-born driver's wife, Corinne, and with his surgeon, Gerard Saillant, whom he knows as a result of his own racing accident in 1989.

Getting better: Philippe Streiff
Strieff is a French racing driver who took part in 55 Grand Prix but was left quadriplegic in March 1989 during a pre-season training crash in Brazil.
But Kehm said: "We need a long time. He is making progress appropriate to the severity of the situation," she added, reiterating a statement she made a month ago.
Schumacher, who will turn 46 on January 3, suffered severe head injuries in a ski accident in Meribel in the French Alps.
The seven-time Formula One World Champion emerged from an induced coma in June, and recovered enough to leave hospital in September and is now rehabilitating at his home in Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
Honda released it's fourth-generation Honda ARX-04b LMP2 car
By AjitPandey Apr 23, 2014
While previous ARXs were evolutions, the fourth-generation Honda ARX-04b LMP2 car is a clean sheet design that, as a result, looks radically different from its predecessors. Aside from the obvious addition of a roof, HPD worked with Wirth Research to shape the 04b to be as aerodynamically efficient as possible. It also gets a new ACO-mandated drive-by-wire throttle system and cost-capped chassis construction. Power comes from the same twin-turbo 2.8-liter HR28TT that powers the current ARX-03b LMP2 cars but now features a new fresh-air valve system that reduces turbo lag and improves efficiency.
Honda Racing Development's ARX racers have been slugging it out in prototype classes around the world for several years now. Since 2007, three generations (and several iterations within each generation) have won races in both LMP1 and LMP2 classes. The ARX-04b will be eligible for competition next season in the WEC LMP2 and USCC Prototype classes.

'If He's Quicker Than Me, I Have To Accept It' : Vettel Says Of Ricciardo
Sebastian Vettel has said that while his third qualifying defeat of the season to team-mate Daniel Ricciardo is "not to my liking", he has to accept that "if he's quicker than me, he's quicker, nothing else."
After losing out to his new team-mate in Australia, where he was dumped out in Q2 as Ricciardo went on to claim a front-row start, and then suffering the same fate in Bahrain, where he again exited qualifying in the second phase, Vettel has again struggled against the Australian here in China.
Despite easing through Q1 and Q2 ahead of Ricciardo, Vettel could not find the extra burst of pace need to seal the deal in the final 10 minutes and Ricciardo surged ahead of his team-mate with his final run to claim second place on the grid, beating Vettel out by just under half a second.
Afterwards, a magnanimous Vettel admitted that Ricciardo currently has the upper hand on merit alone.
"Daniel is doing a very good job, he has not just had one good weekend, he had good weekends and so far he seems to be able to get the maximum out of the car," said the four-time champion who will line up third for tomorrow's Chinese Grand Prix. "On my side, maybe I'm struggling a little bit more, but at the end of the day we have the same car, so if he manages to beat me, then he beats me on the circuit, fair and square. Of course, that's not to my liking but equally, I know that I have to do a little bit better."
Vettel continued by saying that he feels that improvements made in testing in Bahrain recently have improved his feeling fro the RB10, but he added that there is "a still a long way to go".
"All in all I've felt happier this weekend," he said. "We've made some improvements. The test after Bahrain helped on that front. But there is still a long way to go. Obviously a lot of things have changed but I don't think that's the reason for today's performance. I would have loved to have got a bit more out of the last qualifying (the top 10 shootout) but I think I struggled a bit more than the front two."
However, asked to detail the areas of the car that he is currently struggling with Vettel was cagey.
"I don't want to blame anything on the car," he said. "There are a lot of things that have changed, I don't need to tell you. The cars are very different, everything underneath the body is very, very different, so I think there is a lot of work to be done to get it back to where I want it."
Ricciardo, meanwhile, is looking increasingly confident and after landing his second front-row start of the year said that the fact that he has settled into the team quickly has helped his performance.
"I couldn't have settled into the team any better to be honest, they made me feel at home very quickly and it's helping me," he said. "I'm really enjoying the driving and it seems to be showing with the results. I'm really pleased. The team is closing the gap to the front and we're getting better each race."
He admitted too that he had struggled in the early part of today's qualifying session.
"To be honest, I struggled a bit throughout the session, at least personally I didn't feel like I was getting on top of the conditions," he said. "But then the last set of inters, right at the end of Q3, we managed to get a bit more out of it and I put a good lap together, so pretty pleased to be on the front row.
"It's a challenging circuit, especially when a bit of water falls on the track it always makes it more challenging wherever you are," he added. "And there's a few places across the track here where there's a tarmac change and you get quite a big difference in grip through some of these corners – so trying to basically find the right line and the best way to drive around, particularly these trickier parts of the track with tarmac changes, is a bit complex. Took a bit of time to understand that but I think we got it in the end."
Ricciardo's growing confidence, his ability to apparently match and outstrip Vettel's usually impeccable one-lap pace and the champion's obvious discomfort with the 2014-spec Red Bull add up to perhaps the biggest challenge he has yet faced. When it was later remarked that his body language and demeanour suggested he was somewhat downbeat, Vettel didn't deny it.
"You know, I'm thinking a lot about the car. There are a lot of things going on in my head, maybe that's why," he said. "Formula One has got very complex and as a driver I think we have lost a lot of features, let's say, and given a lot to the engineers, so it's not that easy to understand and stay on top of everything. That's why I think maybe I'm thinking more about the car in the last couple of years.
"Of course I'm not happy," he concluded. "I'm not here to finish third in qualifying or second, or behind my team-mate. Generally I'd love to… I'm here to win. As I said before, [Daniel's] doing good. We have the same car and if he's quicker than me, he's quicker, nothing else. Maybe the car is not the way I like 100 per cent but I'm trying to work on that but for now, if the result is like this, I have to accept it."

Mercedes has disclosed that had Formula 1 stayed with loud V8 engines beyond 2013 it would have surely quit the race.
It was considered that Renault was the important driving impact behind the new yet disputable turbo V6 regulations. But Dr Thomas Weber, Daimer board member said that Mercedes was also pretty interested to see the sport drive into the future. He said that, the old V8 rules had become "hard to explain" amidst the current tendency for "downsizing" and fuel competency in the road car market. He admitted having hard discussions with Mercedes about the old regulations to be changed.
After the setting up of the new rules it's been easy to convince the decision-making board that Formula 1 has become pertinent and worth the investment.
Mr. Weber clarified that the recent statements of the rules being too complicated were "stupid" and that it was all done because a sound future demands quiet engines.
"Of course we can look if there is a little bit more (volume) possible," said Weber.
"But in the meantime all the road cars are going for turbos, downsizing, so even a Porsche now sounds similar. So people learn it. That's easy."
A gap of one second and Hamilton had it all, Force India on podium with Perez.
Mercedes AMG Petronas driver Lewis Hamilton (C) raises his trophy after winning the Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix as he celebrates with his teammate Nico Rosberg (2L) and Force India driver Sergio Perez (R) of Mexico on the podium at Sakhir circuit in Manama on April 6, 2014.

Lewis Hamilton edged out Nico Rosberg by a time gap of 1 second to win at Bahrain Grand Prix. Both the drivers of Mercedes had a close and tough competition from each other.
Rosberg had the advantage of softer tyres for the showdown and had several stabs at passing Hamilton using DRS into the Michael Schumacher corner. But none of these helped him to defeat his teammate. Hamilton still prevailed with his medium tyres and at the end stood ahead of everyone else out there.
helped Force India get their first podium a long time after Spa 2009.
It had been a long time since both Force India and Perez himself had a podium. However, it only took three races for Perez with Force India to be back to the top three.
Perez had started fourth following a penalty to Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. After this there was a tough battle again between team mates, Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez.
"Nico had newer tyres than I did, but the stops made a massive difference," he said. "I had to jump him back and overtake a Williams. It was a really enjoyable race, just like karting days.
"When I got to the finish line it was a great feeling. To be able to qualify fourth and straightaway be able to fight for the podium was a great feeling and an amazing podium."
By the end of the race Red Bull managed to end up in fourth. World champion Sebastian Vettel was asked to give way to Daniel Ricciardo when he reported about the loss of DRS system to his team. "Daniel is faster than you, Seb, Let him pass," ordered Red Bull.
The Red Bulls also had the advantage of soft tyres towards the end. Ricciardo went past his team mate Vettel and Nico Hulkenberg to finish fourth. Vettel could not find his way past Hulkenberg so had to spend the final two laps defending Williams pair Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas for sixth.
The Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen rounded out the top 10.

Is it possible to have two separate installations of WP with two separate domains sharing the same content?
Scenario: User on http://A.mysite.com publishes a post. http://B.mysite.com uses the exact same database and can show that post as if it was its own.
I've been looking around for quite some time for this solution and cannot find a valid procedure to achieve this.
Is there a way to share the database without having the issue of the siteurl and theme stored in the database be an issue.
Maybe use just an RSS feed and somehow parse the XML and display them in a template. This is not the best idea because it would have zero functionality that WordPress provides.
Find a way to somehow sync the databases but exclude the wp_options table ?
If your main requirement is to synchronise blog posts from a master site to a slave, then maybe look at the FeedWordPress plugin. It means that you would only add/edit posts on one website and they would be replicated to the other site. That will allow you to cleanly run different plugins on the two sites.
Both installs will use the same database info only the URLs being different.
However you will have to take care of other possibly different aspects like plugins, users, theme, and so on.
The same way you can define any other different setting case by case.

Except for a small stretch on the Clark Kerr Campus, the stream channel of these two creeks have been completely filled-in; they are replaced by one strom drain network. The water, however, still flows. During wet winters, springs erupt in basements of buildings such as the Julia Morgan Theater. The water flows out, over the curb, and down the stormdrain.
