12 Insider Secrets for the 2018 Sausalito Art Festival
1. Parking on the Cheap, If You Park At All
We had so much information under this heading that we moved it to its own page — click hear to read about Parking and Traffic at the Sausalito Art Festival!
2. The Sounds of Music
Music plays almost all day on three different stages and you'll want to arrive early if this is the focus of your visit. The main stage and seats are under a large tent, which usually fills up early. The seating is at large round tables (except for the $100-a-pop VIP seats in front), and people crowd into an open standing-room-only area in front of the stage, blocking the view from the front tables. Lawn chairs are not allowed. You can see our complete list of 2018 bands and musicians and the schedule here.
Insiders Tip: If your favorite band of all time is playing you can also get a $100-per-person VIP ticket for that day, which gets you reserved seating with enhanced sight lines near the stage, plus two free drinks.
Insiders Tip: There's also a special children's entertainment area for younger kids, with its own scheduled musical programs. It's located past the big music tent, on the lawn between the Bay Model and the Bay. They have not announced all the musical performers, but they include major figures like the legendary Tim Cain.
Insiders Tip: I've seen some of my favorite bands on the big stage here, but IMHO there are times when the small Artists Stage performances are even better than the people in the main tent.
3. What's Allowed and Prohibited
Pets have to stay home: Only working service animals are allowed on the grounds. Our Editor Miss T is terribly disappointed.
Please only bring real service animals: I'm a Guide Dogs for the Blind volunteer (their headquarters is located near Sausalito) and can tell you that the fake and counterfeit vests and certificates are endangering access to many areas for blind people with real service animals. The prevalence of fake credentials is already used as an excuse to exclude all animals, even our Guide Dogs, from some businesses in the U.S.
You can't bring in alcoholic beverages. Various kinds of wine, beer, champagne, cocktails etc. are sold inside. You also cannot take alcohol back out through the Festival gates.
Large bags and backpacks are prohibited, and smaller ones are subject to search. Standard practices for security at large events and stadiums in the U.S.
There is no smoking inside the Festival grounds. You have to get your hand stamped, go outside the gates and then return if you want to smoke.
Skateboards, roller skates, skate shoes and "those Back to the Future board things that catch fire so why are you riding one anyway?" are all prohibited inside the grounds. Bikes have to use the valet parking outside and cannot be brought through the gates. The festival grounds are far too crowded for these items to be of any use anyway. Even those that don't spontaneously burst into flames.
Chairs, food and beverages cannot be brought inside the Festival grounds by guests. Apart from the music performance tent there are not a lot of places to sit down, so plan accordingly.
The artists ask that you request their permission before taking photos of their original art works.
4. The Mysterious Non-Musical Big Tent is Gone
A great treat in recent years was the Educational Tall Ship Shipbuilding Facility, located in a large tent near the Festival entrance. They used the tent to build much of a traditional wooden sailing ship right here in Sausalito for sailing training and youth activities. If you're a repeat visitor you'll recognize the ship, the Matthew Turner, still under construction, moored at the pier behind the Festival grounds..
I've always heard that people pay dearly for going to Hell,
but I didn't realize they were referring to the parking!
5. Two Wheels are Better than Four
Bikes get free valet parking. It's hosted by the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, and they're waiting to help you near the main Festival entry gates, with the bikes parked between the Bay Model and the hillside below Bridgeway. Bikes may not be brought inside the Festival.
I've worked in jobs where it felt like this.
6. Sail Me Two Times
The Golden Gate Ferry that sails from the pier in downtown Sausalito offers expanded service over the Festival weekend, and there are also Blue and Gold fleet Sausalito ferries coming from Fisherman's Wharf. Click here for all the ferry information and links.
Insiders Tip: In past years some ferries came direct to the Festival pier from San Francisco. That service is no longer available. Instead, you'll take a ferry to the downtown Sausalito ferry pier, where free high-end air conditioned buses will constantly shuttle guests back and forth to the Festival. All of our ferry schedule pages reflect this added holiday service.
7. More Ways to Ride in Style
Golden Gate Transit buses also serve the area and we have a page that gives you all the details. These are clean and well-maintained commuter buses that link Marin and San Francisco, and they "kneel" to make boarding and exiting easier for disabled riders. The three closest stops are:
1) Bridgeway at Harbor (by Mollie Stone's)
2) Bridgeway at Nevada
3) Bridgeway at Easterby (by the 7-11).
8. Weather Predicted to be Unpredictable
Bring layers and be ready for varied temperatures. In 2017 we boiled and broke all the high temperature records — I was a volunteer in a food booth on the hottest day, and it felt like we were starring in a play written by a guy named Dante. Three or four years ago, however, we were getting cool afternoon breezes off the Bay each day that would made you shiver if you didn't have a windbreaker or sweatshirt, especially in the shadows of the main tent.
Sausalito's hottest days of the year often come in September. If you're not in the music performance tent or inside the Bay Model there is not a lot of shade at the Festival, and it's easy to get sunburned. Be sure to bring sunblock and (despite the great cocktails) drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
Most years you'll feel hot in the open sun, and may be chilly in the shade if the afternoon breeze comes up, so dress in layers to be ready.
9. Can You Break a $1,000 Bill for Me, Buddy?
Art prices run from a $5 necklace to a $10,000 sculpture. The variety — and the talent — are amazing, but some visitors are surprised that a majority of the items for sale are over $100 and many are over $1,000.
In addition to paintings, jewelry, photography and sculpture we've seen rugs, woven clothing, furniture, ceramic and glass serving pieces, decorative ceramics and glass, lamps and all sorts of useful items carved from wood or cast in metal.
Insiders Tip: As great as the art is at the Festival, the artists come from all over North America and only a handful are from Sausalito. Check out the ICB Artists Association, who work together in an historic local building and whose Gallery 111 in Sausalito is only about 3 blocks from the Festival grounds.
10. Foodies and Booties
Be prepared to stand in line for a diverse mix of food at lunch — last year we had a quinoa salad for lunch one day and tacos the next and there are many more choices. You cannot bring in food or beverages, and neither breakfast nor dinner are available on site.
The food booths are run by local service organizations to support their programs and everyone who serves you (including me) is a volunteer, so the money goes to charity.
Shameless Plug for a Non-Profit: The Sausalito Chamber of Commerce Oyster Bar and Quinoa Salad stands (where I volunteer) offer high end treats. The Chamber does a lot of good for the community — both the businesses and the residents of the city — so it's a good cause!
Insiders Tip: Some Festival visitors prefer being able to have a sit down meal with table service, which is not available inside the event. (There are tables for eating your food in the tent for the main music stage, but you still have to stand in line for your meal.) Some veteran fair-goers just have light fare for lunch, but start their day by taking in a hearty local breakfast before they come, and stay in Sausalito to enjoy a great dinner at a local restaurant after the fair closes, allowing the evening traffic to dissipate before they head out.
Insiders Tip: Mid-day the food area will have lines for the more popular items, though in general the lines are faster now than they were a few years ago because of tablet credit card systems. If you plan to eat at the Festival and don't want to wait, go a little earlier than the usual lunch crush or wait for an afternoon snack.
11. In-N-Out With No Drive-Thru
There's a hand stamp so you can leave and come back, and they do check the stamps so make sure you get the stamp before leaving. Oh, and did I mention the hand stamp?
12. You Don't Have to Stand for That
Wear comfortable shoes. You'll be standing in line for drinks and food, and there are not a lot of places to sit down in the art area. There are seats in the main tent for the musical artists, but even those fill up early in the day and by the later musical performances (especially when the band is well known and has major hits) chairs become a rare and precious commodity.
Insiders Tip: Much of the Festival is set up on asphalt and concrete surfaces (which can get very hot), but over half the artist booths are located on the grass of Marinship Park. Plan your footwear accordingly.
Insiders Tip: If you're looking for a place to sit down, go to the back area of the music tent just as one act is completing its performance. Since there's a gap between acts some people will get up and leave, freeing a seat for you. The number of such freed chairs, however, declines as the day goes on!
Disabled Seating: Ask Festival staff regarding any special needs and they'll be happy to get you seated. The SAF makes this a priority so don't hesitate to ask anyone who works there.

Where Does the Money Go?
This event started its life as a small non-profit fundraiser, and the profits from the Festival are donated to various charities and used for scholarships. You can read all the details here.

We take reservations for parties of 6 or more, Monday-Friday (excluding holidays), with a 24-hour notice.
Would you like to book our entire location for special event? Just send us an email with all the details and we'll get back to you with a quote.
We accept reservations, as space allows, only for parties of 6 or more. Any reserved table must be paid for on one check. We may not be able to accept additional reservations on a given day if we have already reserved the maximum number of tables that we can. We do not accept reservations on weekends or nationally recognized holidays. We are a small and busy restaurant and we greatly appreciate your understanding in regards to reserving a table with us.
In general, you may call us when you are on your way to our restaurant to be put on the waitlist. This may result in a reduced wait time once you arrive but is by no means a reservation, or a guarantee that you will be seated within a certain time frame. We reserve the right to not accept call-ins should factors warrant doing so. These factors may include excessive wait times, inclement weather, or any other circumstance where accepting further call-ins would place an undue burden on the guests at our restaurant that we are currently trying to serve.

Following is a list of tools we use in the CUTGroup program, along with a rudimentary take on the costs for each. Our focus in pricing is to determine the bare minimum it takes to start up a reputable CUTGroup program with materials on hand.
We start with a public-facing website to present the program. The website itself is just a few files hosted on Github.
The CUTGroup website is just three pages of information about the program, a map of participants, and embedded Wufoo signup forms for the general public and developers. This website uses the Jekyll tool to generate static HTML pages that can be hosted in Amazon S3 for pennies a month.
CUTGroup Signups is a very small application that keeps the map of signups up-to-date. It is written in Ruby and runs on Heroku. After a CUTGroup participant completes the signup form, Wufoo sends the result to the CUTGroup Signups application. The application reads the ward of the participant and increments the number of signups for that ward.
This is certainly not a requirement, but we think it is effective in encour- aging a geographically diverse set of people to join. It's always nice to see that people you know will be at a party.
If you're not comfortable working with the files on Github, you can make the site any way you want, using any tools you are familiar with. WordPress is a very easy site creation tool—we highly recommend it.
If you have no way to set up a website, then just a Facebook page will do
as well. The main thing here is that you have to have some sort of wrapper
for the signup form—some URL that people can share with their friends and family that explains what your program is all about and displays or links to the signup form.
Costs: development time only.
We use Wufoo for information collection. Wufoo is a wonder. It is super easy to set up, it has powerful reporting tools, and it allows you to create sophisti- cated ways for sharing data among team members and between systems.
You are free to use any service you like, but given the features and pricing of Wufoo, we don't see any reason to use anything else.
Costs: $14.95 per month, given the number of forms and fields we think you need to set up a good program. Free if you are just trying it out and want to collect less information from users.
We use MailChimp for all of our outbound communication with testers. It has great templates, it integrates really well with other systems like Wufoo, and it allows us to segment our testers in logical ways. There are many email management systems, but we're impressed with MailChimp.
Costs: free at first. It took us a long time before we had to upgrade to an account costing $45 per month. Keep in mind that we also use MailChimp for other email marketing needs in our organization, so the costs of the tool are spread across the entire organization, not just this program.
Visa gift cards
We use Awards2Go Visa Award Card as our vendor for the incentives we use for recruiting and compensating testers. Gift cards are the central tool for tester recruitment.
Costs: $7.07 per card, including staff costs for managing card distribution.
From the very start, we have developed our own custom software to manage the CUTGroup. But Microsoft Excel has been an important make-ready tool for wrangling data. Excel was pre-installed on our office computers, but if you don't have it, use an alternative like LibreOffice or Google Sheets.
Costs: free
As part of this project, we've developed software and processes that allow us to manage such a large group of people testing a wide variety of hardware and software across the city. The main tool is Patterns (which we codenamed, "Kimball", because that's a street near Chris Gansen's house), which allows us to segment our participants by lots of criteria (location, device, Internet connection, etc.).
Patterns uses data that we gather from other Web-based systems like MailChimp (for outbound email notifying CUTGroup members about testing opportunities) and Wufoo (for managing metadata about testers and their availability). Each of these systems has very strong APIs that allow us to
move data in and out of Patterns. It makes operating the CUTGroup a breeze. This kind of lightweight approach is at the heart of our philosophy here at Smart Chicago.
As you can see by looking at the Patterns code repository readme page on Github, we have a lot of work to do on this software:
- Events
• Invite
• Attendance tracking • Reminder emails
- Programs
• Associate results
- People
• Add arbitrary fields
• Attach photograph
• Attach files
• Link with their social networks
• Show activity streams
• Track program status (e.g. has received Visa card)
• Show output from Tribune boundaries service on individual person pages
- Backend
• Terms of service/privacy policy
• Managed access to anonymized data for research • Audit trails
• Comments on all objects
Costs: developer time.
Test Devices
We sometimes bring a number of devices to make our tests run smoothly. In other instances, it's important that the users bring their own devices. Bring- ing extra iPads and laptops is definitely a good idea, because pretty much anything can and will go wrong when you are out in the real world engaging with real people.
We publish details on lots of the equipment we use for all of our different programs on our website. Keep tabs on our site and you can keep up with current devices, model numbers, prices, and configurations.
Costs: varied — use personal devices (free)
Recording Devices
Livestreaming opengov and civic engagement events is an important compo- nent of our overall mission at Smart Chicago, and it is an important com- ponent of traditional user testing. I also have a passion for photography and documentation, so it is a deep part of our culture.
Once again, the idea is to press existing devices into service. Any cellphone camera will suffice when it comes to documenting the tests, either by photo or video. Again, we publish specs on our own equipment to our website.
Costs: varied — use personal devices (free)
If you're doing mobile technology work, you've got to be in control of your own connection to the Internet. Even though most of our tests are conducted in public libraries, and they all have public wifi, it is essential to carry a back- up. We use Mobile Citizen.
Costs: $120 for signup, $10/month for service
Ya gotta have something to eat. Also: sharing is caring. We bring multiple types of candy (hard candy, mini chocolate bars, sour twists, etc.) Stay away from messy things (no Doritos) and, just like in elementary school, make sure you have enough for the whole class.
We do lots of work with computer centers, and this is an opportunity to get our message out. We leave information about our Connect Chicago program and also flyers for anything else we happen to have going on.

After a decade-long swing into overprocessed American horror, Silent Hill - now Hills - is once again at a developer back home and safe from the vitriol of its predecessors. We've been wanting to go back (way back) to the series' beginnings, but without second- and third-generation ago systems we can't play them so easily. Silent Hill 1, 2, 3, and 4 are absent from major distribution platforms, depending on region, with one exception... there's The Silent Hill HD Collection which, as far as remaster and homage goes, deserves nothing more than a solid pillow smothering.

Exactech named a new CEO Wednesday after co-founder Bill Petty stepped down after 30 years and President David Petty, his son, was promoted.
Exactech named a new CEO Wednesday after co-founder Bill Petty stepped down after 30 years and President David Petty, his son, was promoted.
Bill Petty, 71, will remain active on the company's management team and as chairman of the board of directors under the title executive chairman.
David Petty, 47, said his father's new role will allow Bill Petty to focus more on meeting with customers, helping with implant design, strategic planning and leading the board, and less on day-to-day operations.
David Petty said their roles have been transitioning in that direction for the last few years anyway.
"For the people who work here, it's very much business as usual," David Petty said.
The Gainesville company makes orthopedic implant devices, related surgical instruments and biologic materials sold throughout the U.S. and in 30 international markets with more than 600 employees and $237 million in sales in 2013.
Bill Petty, an orthopedic surgeon, was a professor at the University of Florida College of Medicine for 23 years and served as chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery from 1981 to 1996. He founded Exactech in 1985 with wife, Betty, and biomedical engineer Gary Miller.
David Petty became the first employee in 1988 and has served as a vice president over operations, and sales and marketing before being named president in 2007.
Exactech trades on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol EXAC.

The Holocaust
The events of WWII were very important in leading to the creation of Israel in 1948. After witnessing the horrors of the holocaust, the United Nations felt the creation of the State of Israel was justified. There were hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees coming from varies liberated concentration camps, and with their homes destroyed and families lost, there was an enormous issue of where to put these victims, lost and alone in the middle of a continent that still experienced large amounts of anti-semitism. The state of Israel was created in the place it is today, because many Zionists had already owned huge tracks of land there, and it was the only permanent home the Jewish Nation has ever known.
This argument is very sweet and all, but it can be dismissed quite easily if the area Israel was meant to occupy was owned by Palestinians, or infringed the inalienable human rights of Palestinians in its creation. This brings me to my next question:
Who's land was it in the first place?
I think it's interesting to point out that Palestinians did not own the track of land now known as Israel immediately before the creation of Israel in 1948. It was owned by the British, who were going to barter it off to Jordan and Egypt. That is to say, even without the creation of Israel, Palestinians were not going to have their own country. However with enormous pressure from Western Countries sympathizing with the bruised Jewish Survivors of the world, a plan was put forward to create a Jewish State, and a Palestinian State, side by side. In other words, the land now known as Israel was given to the Jews by the nations of the world.
The promised Arab and Jewish state never happened though, immediately after the British left the area, Israel was attacked by foreign armies, and has been fighting for its existence ever since.
Both sides have made horrendous decisions, many Jewish and Arab children have been lost in many pointless wars. The Gaza Strip is little more than a concentration camp, and the Hamas are little more than a guerrilla force, ruling Palestinians by fear.
I will not argue that Israel has a right to Golem Heights, or to Mount Sinai, but the State of Israel is justified in its existence, and belongs to the Arab and Jewish Israeli's who live there today.
I will not argue that Israel has a right to Golem Heights, or to Mount Sinai, but the State of Israel is justified in its existence, and belongs to the Arab and Jewish Israeli's who live there today.
I said this in my last round to prevent the rant you just said. I'm not engaging in a "ISRAELIES ARE OCCUPYING NAZI MONSTERS DEBATE"
I was really hoping for more nuance than that. It also has little to do with the resolution.

I love the title of this movie. If you don't know what the 'big secret' is in the film, you don't have to worry about me giving it away here. The title, We Are What We Are, has a well-rounded meaning for the family that the story revolves around. The family has a secret, a religious ritual that has been part of their heritage for centuries, and nothing will stop them from their way of life that is so deeply ingrained within them. While watching the slow-burn horror unravel, you have an idea/fear the entire time as to what this secret is, though it is left unsaid for almost two-thirds of the film. You feel like you are a part of their dirty, little secret and just waiting for everything to explode.
We Are What We Are is originally a Mexican film made in 2010. I hate to admit that I have yet to see the original, though I have heard that the remake is better, an uncommon occurrence that I cannot corroborate. At the beginning of the film, a downtrodden and sick looking woman dies; this woman leaves behind her two beautiful teenage daughters, young son, and husband. And so the story follows this grieving family. The daughters, Iris and Rose, seem wise beyond their years, serious and disciplined. An innocence is lost when their mother dies in the form a new duties among the household. They must uphold their family traditions even if it means hurting others. A doctor, who performed the autopsy on their mother, makes a startling discovery that leads him sniffing the family's trail.
The acting by all those involved is first-class, having the ability to draw the audience into the story. Even more commendable though, is the striking imagery. From the beginning of the film, the desolate landscape creates a moody and atmospheric thriller. The location plays a big role in the film since the small town is devastated by a recent flood. This gives me a feeling from the Harmony Korine film, Gummo. The burden of this natural disaster adds a heaviness to the already foreboding atmosphere of the film.
This is not a typical horror movie. It is not over-the-top or action packed. Instead, it is an understated and intelligent film. The violence level is low throughout most of the film, but the disturbance factor is high. The 'ritual scene' is not too graphic but strangely hypnotic and romantic feeling somehow. You aren't expecting a gruesome conclusion, so when this does happen is it utterly startling and unpredictable. It took me a while to get around to watching this film, but I am so glad I did as it easily goes in the top horror films of 2013.

Tales from the Ring. Part Four.
As the clock ticked past midnight and into the Witching hour it was time to head back out of the media centre. We wanted to capture some light trails during the night and decided we would head out to the Karussell.
After parking up beside the muddy track and having stumbled through the trees and undergrowth in the dark, we were greeted by the English Marshalls there. They were quick to put the kettle on for us as I set about getting to work with my tripod and shutter release cable. The Karussell was just as awesome at night and sparks flew, brake discs glowed and engines echoed through the trees. The temperature was still warm too so it didn't seem like we were up during the early hours.
I stood talking to the Marshalls with my knees up against the Armco barrier and I heard a clang then felt a thud. It was if something had come off a car and hit the barrier where we were. I wondered what it could be. It felt quite solid. A wheel nut maybe? A quick conversation by the Marshall's over their radio revealed the source. A car had hit the barrier at the bottom of the hill. The impact was about three or four hundred meters away from where I was standing but could still feel it. I was glad I wasn't standing any further down the hill. Tales from the Marshall's soon followed about incidents where they have been hit by debris. It made me remember that being trackside can be dangerous. Especially as close as we were on the Nordschleife. Something that I don't think about when I'm out shooting. The Marshalls even told us that at some points on the circuit which are particularly narrow and the Armco is close to the track edge, that when they wave yellow or white flags, some cars pass and clip the end of the flags! These guys in orange really need to be applauded.
I wandered down the hill to capture some light trails going up towards the Karussell. I could see the extent of the crash as I got down there. A BMW Z4 had it the barrier head on quite hard. The service crew were there and had the area coned off. Cars were forced to the other side of the narrow track but were very obliging of the safety crew and Marshall's waved yellow flags slowing right down to a crawl past the scene before getting on the power past me and up the hill. The BMW was towed away in quite a mess. The scene was tidied up quickly and before long the only visible sign of an accident was a slightly damaged Armco and some sand on top of a fluid leak. Cars were back to full speed up the hill and I was standing pretty close. Knowing one car had hit the barrier and the possibility of a slippery surface due to the spilled fluid, I wasn't going to hang about here for long and made my way back up the hill.
Time was passing by quite quickly and it would be first light soon so we decided to make a move and come back to the Karussell later during daylight hours. Parking up at the bottom of the hill near Hocheichen we walked up the hill through the campsite to Hatzenbach. Walking through the array of tents, small marquee's and caravans, traversing piles of rubbish, empty beer bottles and bonfires as well as the occasional fan sleeping on the bare ground I was feeling surprisingly alert. It was about 5 am and I was starting to think to myself that I could last till the end of the race quite comfortably at this rate. Pausing to glance back at the cars snaking down the hill behind us and saying hello to the occasional fan, some of which still happily down beer I was in high spirits.
Having reached the top of the hill we headed to the outside of the first corner on the Nordschleife. The cars would come off the Grand Prix circuit, head towards us and then drop down the twisty first section of the 'Green Hell'. As I paused to watch the cars head towards me with headlights ablaze it happened. I had hit the wall. All of my energy had been drained. I was struggling to focus let alone look through a view finder. But I was here. I had walked up the hill and I wasn't going to let the opportunity of taking photos pass so I carried on regardless. I was firing off shots unsure if what I was getting was of any use. My eyes had given up even bothering to focus on anything and I couldn't see if the images on the rear screen were any good either. I had glanced up at Kev. He was struggling too. I think he had become somewhat delirious as he had started singing odd made up songs. Trying to ignore the fact that my body was urging me to rest I carried on shooting in the hope something would be useable.
The decision to stop was soon made for us. I felt a few spots of rain. I wasn't sure if it was actually starting to rain or I was just hallucinating. I could definitely fell it get a bit heavier and the Marshall's were now waving the yellow and red Slippery surface flags. Time to head back. We got in the car and made our way to the media car park. We needed to sleep but weren't sure to sleep in the car or the media centre. Realising James would be in the media centre and no doubt bouncing off the walls high on caffeine, chocolate and e-numbers it was decided best that we slept in the car. I was out like a light.
I woke up just as Kevin did. I actually felt pretty refreshed. How long had I slept for? Had I missed the race? The rain had stopped and the sun was out. Glancing at the time it was 9am. Phew, I was only asleep for two hours but thankfully it felt like longer and I was recharged. Time for some coffee and a bite to eat before heading back to the media centre to empty memory cards and catch up on the goings on.
I was right. James was still in a Sugar induced high and was loving every minute of the experience. I was slightly envious. How can he manage it but I can't? He's only a few years younger than me. Then I realised, He doesn't walk miles lugging camera's and kit around. I wasn't complaining though. I wouldn't change that for the world. I love doing it.
Having been fed and watered it was time to make a move again. We decided to head out to the Karussell again then one or two other areas before the race finish. Back at the banked hairpin and with the Marshalls again, I felt revitalized. The sun was beating down and the cars still looked magnificent. Albeit a little dirtier and some sporting a few dents, scrapes and a moderate amount of race tape. After all, this was endurance racing at it most difficult and cars still running at this point had achieved so much already. I was merrily snapping away, trying different angles and perspectives of the corner having a great time a number of other photographers were now at the hairpin all looking pretty happy. Life was good.
Time passed by rapidly and due to an unforeseen circumstance, we weren't able to head to a different area before the race end. However we made it back to the media room for the race finish and in time to see the battle for third place between one of the Porsche's and a Mercedes SLS in the dying minutes. It was exciting stuff but no one was prepared for what was about to unfold.
As the Clock ticked down, the Porsche powered down the long straight with the Mercedes right on its bumper. Into the last few corners before busting into the Grand Prix circuit. The clocked hadn't quite reached the 4 o'clock mark and they would need to complete another lap. Game On. We moved to the windows to see the cars come down the pit straight to start their last lap. Or so we thought. The Mercedes roared past. Where was the Porsche? It had slowed. Coming towards the line it was almost crawling along. What was wrong? Was there a mechanical issue? Had it run out of petrol? Or had it completely miss timed everything thinking the chequered flag would be out and throwing third place away in the process? The lead Audi was yet to come through and the Porsche had crossed the line almost coming to a standstill towards the other side of the track from the pit wall. Cars were still coming through however. One of which was a Renault Clio still travelling at speed. I could see him coming towards the Porsche. He must have seen it. He's definitely seen it right? Why isn't he moving across? He didn't see it. Smash. Gasps and groans reverberated around the Media Centre. The Clio ploughed into the back of the Porsche at high speed. Debris littered the track distracting everyone from the Leading Audi R8 that was about to take the flag and victory.
Confusion reigned as Cars took the chequered flag amongst the numerous waved yellow ones and Marshalls rallying around to clear up the mess which had now ruined the Grandstand photo finish for the factory Aston Martin team. As the Zagato, flanked by the two Vantages headed towards the line the left hand Vantage had to tuck in behind avoid the debris. The race was over in bizarre fashion.
It was a peculiar end to an amazing experience but it was now all over. Sitting outside the Italian restaurant that evening with a cold beer and a pizza I was left reflecting on my first experience of the Nurburgring Nordschleife and the 24hr race. It had been incredible. The place was just spectacular and I was spoilt with the variety of places to photograph from. You will never get a full appreciation for how incredible the place is until you see it for real. How narrow, twisty and undulating it really is. It gives you a renewed appreciation for racing drivers and the balls, guts, determination and fearlessness they must have to take on such circuit in the high powered machinery they do. A lot of people tell me that they think endurance racing is boring. Firstly, these people clearly have no attention span and secondly they have definitely never been to the Nurburgring to see the 24hr race.
This led me on to a new appreciation. That of the Fans. These people were incredible. They were friendly, likeable and their dedication know no bounds. They never ceased to amaze me throughout the week. They were proper hardcore motorsport fans and they were loving every minute of it. At the risk of upsetting a few people, they made the Le Mans 24hr look like a holiday camp. And I've been to Le Mans more than once!
Finally I'd like to thank everyone who made my first trip to the Nurburgring so amazing and special. From all the Germans who were friendly, kind and helpful, to all the media for the laughs and the teams for putting up with the photographers poking around and getting in the way. Last but not least I have to give a huge thank you to Kevin at Red Square Images. Without him my trip probably wouldn't have been possible and his knowledge of the area helped me so much. Thank You Kev I really appreciate what you have done for me.
The Nordschleife is affectionately known as the 'Green Hell' but to me, the place was motorsport Heaven.
I will be going back.

Dinner and Event Magician
My magic has proved to be the perfect addition to many corporate, family & social dinners for over 20 years now. As an event magician I perform in a contemporary style with everyday objects such as cards, coins, dice, etc. Generally close up, right under the noses of your guests and in their hands however I can also perform an after dinner show if this would be better suited to your event.
I like to get around all of your guests which is why I will work with you on the best duration I am required for, I can even bring in some other excellent magicians if your event is so big I wouldn't be able to cover the entire thing myself, just ask for some more details.
"Thanks again for performing at our Ball on Friday, I know everybody really enjoyed your magic and were extremely impressed"

text: For me Shauna's classes are the reason I love yoga so much. The way Shauna moves her class through original sequencing, wrapped in a package filled with music and imagery - through lyrics or subtle choice of words - is a unique yoga experience and gift, every single time! She is a big inspiration. And whenever I find myself 'in a yoga dip', since I am just starting out as a yoga teacher, she gets the yoga juice flowing again!

Because the ultimate goal of a steroid cycle is to increase strength and muscle size, the associated spike in estrogen which accompanies steroids such as Testosterone is considered undesirable. In order to disassociate the two effects, two classes of drug are used. Medications such as Nolvadex or Clomid target the estrogen receptors. They make it more difficult for the estrogen to exert it's influence within the body thus allowing the testosterone to act more freely. The second class is aromatase inhibitors such as Femara. They target the aromatase enzyme itself in order to prevent the production of estrogen in the first place. Sometimes, it's not always clear which option you should go with or even what the differences are between the two. Lets clear that up a little.

Questing for Deus Ex Machina
Deus ex machina, literally translates from Latin as God from the machine, is used to describe a magical or technological intervention of the Divine that saves the day, generally in an implausible way. In the plays of the Greeks, deus ex machina was actually a machine (often a crane) that lowered a saviour into the midst of trouble to rescue the hero.
One could, for example, describe the many appearances of the giant eagles in The Lord of the Rings as deus ex machina because it is a contrivance which conveniently rescues hapless heroes from fates like lava, fire, or tall towers.
In addition, the well-written, but implausibly "magical" endings to most of the Harry Potter books make J.K. Rowling a master of deus ex machina. It has been postulated that the appearance of a phoenix with healing tears carrying a magical sword hidden in a hat is the best example of a deus ex machina in the Harry Potter universe.
While we can scoff endlessly at these contrivances in ancient literature and as they pervade current popular culture, it is impossible to live in the real world without wanting, even questing after deus ex machina moments. If we are honest with ourselves, sometimes we are desperate for these events to happen. We come to the end of our money and we yearn for someone to rescue us from financial ruin by being lowered from the rigging above. Our son, our daughter, friend, or lover lays in the hospital, dying from accident or disease. And we weep at the end of the bed, desperate for an encounter with the "god from the machine."
Every so often, we have actual deus ex machina moments. Are these too convenient? Too easy? Could these things really be true? The cancer is searched for and is found missing. The feeling that pulling over on the highway is just the right thing to do as the deer prances across the road. The craving for alcohol suddenly suppressed. The turning of nature and the recovery of mind or relationship.
Those poor saps in the garden of Eden turn from the way set before them and choose their own path. And this results in chaos and pain being added to the palette of human experience. Not only individuals, but nations found themselves in conflict, the base components of human nature ruling and expressing themselves in greed and selfishness and murder and war.
And so the narrative of human beings marches on. No successive evolution from unenlightened to enlightened. No lessening of societal boundaries or the need to subdue the weak or the "other." With technology comes some improvements to the state of societies, but also better and more creative ways for humans to wage war and kill each other.
That's the way the narrative should end. We war, we kill, we conquer. Rinse and repeat.
To be honest, fictional happy endings are disappointing for me. Because in my experience, the utopian "lived happily ever after" never happens. For many—perhaps myself included —the story ends "life was hard and then he died." Despite that fact, I do find myself longing for something more, some miracle to emerge out of the machine that is my life. The one lucky break that will make me successful—the millionaire who will hear me speak or read my books and say, "Now here is a guy worth supporting" and then drop a sack of cash into my lap. I must confess that as someone who has been self employed for most of his life, I have no retirement plan, no nest egg; I will simply work and scrape by until the day I die or until I am not capable of scraping by anymore, and then I'll go and live under a bridge somewhere. I can only hope that those people who rely on me for financial support die before that happens.
So what am I left with? Is there a deus ex machina to fix the narrative of my life?
Because I believe in God, I think there is. I hear the echo through history first penned by the prophet Jeremiah, "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, plans to give you a future with hope."
Despite all that I have done, all that humans have done and tried to do to each other, Jesus emerged from the chaos of the machine to save us, to save me. It seems like a simplistic, ridiculous belief. That somehow God will lift me out of my circumstance to something new and better. And it is ridiculous if what I want is financial relief, relief from physical suffering, healing from mental illness, or just a single day of peace and quiet. God doesn't promise me that.
What he does promise me, what he has delivered on, is the restoration of my relationship with the God of the universe. He stepped into my life and gave me hope for a better life after this one, a perfect life, a new experience brought about by deus ex machina. And despite all the chaos that comes with the machines crumbling around me, I find hope in that.

I am headed on vacation soon and shared a countdown on social media. A fellow blogger commented on keeping the details secret due to social media creepers. I hear that and I don't take her advice lightly. Oversharing vacation plans has definitely led to burglaries of opportunity.
I get her point completely. So much so I've literally arranged house sitters (multiple), my neighbors are on high alert, and so much more. But, I'll keep those details private.
Truth be told, one can't be too cautious. Scary, but true. To me, the dates I'll be away will eventually be clear since I'll post on social media while on vacation as so many of us do.
What's most critical is the safety plan for our home and possessions while we're away. Here are a few tips to consider:
- Arrange house sitters (not one, but a few). Increase the activity and human presence while you're away to thwart off intruders. This is one clear way to dissuade potential assailants.
- Upgrade security and home monitoring systems such a alarms and cameras (inform the proper alarm company servicemen for extra patrols).
- Store portable valuables (jewelry, cash, safe, etc.) somewhere other than in your home while away.
- Let all neighbors know to be on high-alert, check your mail, home exteriors and such.
- Ensure all insurance coverages are in order before you go. In our case, we're even ensuring our will is current.
And finally, have fun! After all, material things can always be replaced and no one should ever steal your peace of mind!

This project seeks to determine if prenatal air pollution exposures increase the risk of cognitive delays and autistic traits. Emerging evidence suggests that air pollutant exposure may increase risk of neurodevelopmental disorders and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our research demonstrates that exposure during gestation and early life to traffic related air pollution (TRP) and regional particulate matter (PM) were associated with risk of autism and neurodevelopmental delays. Other studies indicate neurodevelopmental effects based on prenatal biomarker measures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure. However, we do not know if these associations persist over time, nor has a critical period of development been pinpointed. In this study we propose to examine the relationship between prenatal air pollution exposure and early longitudinal measures of cognitive ability and ASD in two prospective samples - Markers of Autism Risk in Babies, Learning Early Signs (MARBLES) and Early Autism Risk Longitudinal Investigation (EARLI). MARBLES and EARLI are both longitudinal studies of pregnant mothers, who have had one child with ASD, increasing the risk for abnormal development and ASD in the subsequent child. Approximately 40% of the infant children from MARBLES and EARLI will have a DD and 1/7 will be diagnosed with an ASD, which enriches our ability to study a broad range of neurodevelopmental outcomes. We will leverage the valuable phenotype and biospecimen resources of MARBLES and EARLI for the first prospective study of prenatal air pollution effects on autistic traits and the trajectory of cognitive development over the first thirty-six months of life.
Specific aims are: (1) to assign air pollutant exposure using state of the art modeling techniques for multi- site studies estimating TRP and PM as well as measure novel biomarker measurements of nitro-PAH exposure to freeway-based diesel exhaust and gaseous nitro-PAH pollutants from vehicular and other sources;(2) examine the effect of these exposures on the trajectory of cognitive development using repeated administrations of the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL);and (3) evaluate the effect of these exposures on autistic traits and ASD diagnoses. Because air pollutant exposure is common and can be mitigated, the potential public health impact of this study is large. Additionally, identification of a risk factor in very young children provides the opportunity for early intervention where reduction of risk for disordered development is still possible.
This study will assess the association between prenatal air pollution exposure and risk of cognitive delays and autistic traits. We will integrate modeled and novel biologic measures of air pollutant exposure into two unique prospective studies of infants at high risk for ASD and developmental delays, both having valuable prenatal biospecimens and longitudinal follow-up evaluations, to study the trajectory of cognitive delays, autistic traits, ad ASD diagnoses. Because exposure to air pollution is common and our study is conducted in very young children there is great potential for intervention and broad public health impact.

Mega Trade Blocs: Stumbling Blocks or Opportunities for Taiwan?The proliferation of regional trading arrangements in the Asia Pacific in recent decades has led to various mega-trade blocs within the region. What are the implications for Taiwan?
Besides the long-term planning for a regional Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP), preparations have been underway for a while now to expand the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Free Trade Area (ASEAN-FTA) to include Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand, and thus create the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Once in effect, RCEP will account for about one-third of total global GDP and more than one quarter of total world trade.
Meanwhile, the Trans Pacific Partnerships (TPP) agreement has been expanded from its original four (Brunei, Chile, Singapore, and New Zealand) to include more members. The U.S. joined in in 2009 and invited Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Malaysia Peru, and Vietnam to join what is known as TPP-12. It accounts for 40 percent of total global GDP and about one-third of total world trade. In terms of the size of total GDP share of the world economy, the total GDP of the TPP is greater than that of the European-27 (EU), while that of the RCEP is a little below the EU's.
While both the RECP and the TPP have the incentive to enlarge their respective membership to increase their sphere of influence in the region, their application procedures and membership requirements have limited Taiwan's options in its membership bids. While ASEAN members have FTAs with all six of the aforementioned outsiders, trade is not standardized. Each ASEAN +1 operates under different "rules of origin" and other regulations. Hence, the RCEP is more interested in consolidating the many ASEAN+1s to ensure standard rules for trade within the RCEP as a group. The RCEP will therefore give priority to those countries that already have signed FTAs with ASEAN, which Taiwan does not have.
Moreover, before Taiwan can negotiate its RCEP membership, China insists that the "early harvest product list" of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) be expanded to include more products and, more controversially, the service trade industry, which would further incorporate Taiwan into China's orbit economically in the short term and politically in the longer term. Joining the RCEP would risk leading Taiwan into the "one China" trap.
For its part, the TPP has an open admission clause for "like-minded" Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) members that are interested in joining, and Taiwan definitely qualifies. However, there is a double eligibility criterion: approval from both individual member states and the TPP as a whole is required. Efforts to secure TPP and RCEP membership are therefore primarily shaped by external factors such as multilateral trade negotiations rather than domestic policy priorities. Taiwan can only prepare to apply, rather than apply, to join the RCEP for the time being, as the door has been temporarily shut until the founding members sign in 2015.
As a member of APEC, Taiwan's chances of being invited to the TPP negotiations are high and can be exploited immediately. Yet, the TPP is a high quality FTA which includes not only comprehensive tariff reductions on all merchandise trade, zero percent tariff on agricultural commodities, de-regulation of service trade, but also regulation of labor and environmental standards, intellectual property rights, and state-owned enterprises, with the intent to create the standard for FTAs in the 21st century.
Taiwan would be well advised to take the necessary steps to ensure its eligibility to join the TPP, and some down payments might be required. If the U.S. insists that continuing Trade Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) talks is a pre-condition for any serious trade negotiations, then among those contentious trade disputes, the pending issue of lifting the ban on pork imports from the U.S. — which is only the tip of the iceberg for the current trade regime — would cause a great deal of controversy domestically. Although the government and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have reached a consensus on bidding for TPP membership, and both fully understand that U.S. support for Taiwan is crucial if it is to join the trade bloc, neither is prepared to pay the price of offending Taiwanese farmers, whose votes are crucial to both parties, by pushing the necessary reforms.
If Taiwan can resolve the obstacles created by its contentious trade issues with the U.S. and subsequently secures Washington's support, the next question will be China would react. Beijing has not ruled out the possibility of seeking to join the TPP. However, the high admission criteria for the TPP would probably force China to postpone its membership bid — unless Beijing really reforms its economic structures and industrial governance to fulfill TPP membership requirements. Whether Beijing would draw a red line on Taiwan's bid for TPP membership is anyone's guess as this point.
China's growing assertiveness in its foreign policy could shift the dynamic of international relations in Taiwan's favor. Although most Asia Pacific countries, including Taiwan, are keen to trade with China to the extent that doing so is beneficial to their economies, they need U.S. security guarantees to keep China's increasingly hegemonic foreign policy in check, especially now that Beijing seems to have shifted from Deng Xiaoping's guidance of "bidding for time and hiding capabilities" to something more muscular. That said, the U.S. rebalancing, or "pivot" to Asia cannot be limited to its military presence; an economic role is just as important for regional security. Hence the TPP as an indispensable component of the U.S. pivot to Asia. If the pivot includes Taiwan — as it should — and if, as argued above, it has the necessary economic components, then the enlargement of the TPP membership will provide Taiwan with a window of opportunity to further its development.
Taiwan is the 12th largest trade partner of the U.S., and the interdependence of Taiwan and the U.S. in the trade in intermediate goods is a major factor in the context of global commercial activity. Growing trade in parts and components, the trade complementarity, and the rapid development of global value chains (GVC) that have dominated trade growth and shifted trade patterns in recent years all underscore the depth of the interrelatedness between the U.S. and Taiwan.
Using computable general equilibrium (CGE) model simulations on the effects of the TPP with or without Taiwan, Hsu Bo-xiang of the Taiwan Institute for Economic Research illustrated that including Taiwan in the TPP would increase U.S. exports by 0.1 percent, enhance social welfare by US$2.8 billion, improve the terms of trade by 0.1 percent and reduce the U.S. trade deficit by US$108.4 million. Moreover, by admitting Taiwan into the TPP, the trade creation effect through liberalization on the services sector, in which the U.S. has a strong comparative advantage, would greatly benefit the U.S. by creating more high-paid jobs for American workers.
One pressing task for Taiwan will be to bid for bilateral FTAs with countries that have dual membership in the RCEP and TPP to pave the road for accession to both trade bodies. Of the countries that have overlapping RCEP and TPP membership, only two — New Zealand and Singapore — have signed FTAs with Taiwan. Five other countries (Australia, Brunei, Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam) should be considered by Taipei as top priorities for bilateral FTAs.
This is an uphill battle for Taiwan. Securing domestic consensus ahead of making the necessary structural changes is the only way to ensure success.

FBI evidence against Ahmed Khan Rahami, the main suspect in a string of bombs in New York and New Jersey last week, heavily suggests Rahami did little to hide his plan, including testing explosives in broad daylight.
The Wall Street Journal argues that a number of points of evidence revealed in the charges against Rahami, including a video found on a relative's mobile phone and numerous purchases under his name on the trading site eBay, indicate that Rahami was operating "in plain view" with little concern about being caught.
"It's pretty hard to imagine he built all these bombs and nobody noticed anything,'' a senior law-enforcement official told the newspaper.
The video showing Rahami testing an explosive is the most damning evidence. The Wall Street Journal identifies the relative carrying the video as one of Rahami's sisters, and notes that the video has been confirmed to have been shot in the family's backyard in Elizabeth, New Jersey. An explosion can be seen in the video, law enforcement sources say, following by "laughter" and Rahami appearing on camera to pick up the remnants of the bomb.
Rahami built and planted at least eight explosives in Seaside Park, New Jersey; Elizabeth, and the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. A car registered to Rahami was caught traveling into Manhattan the night of the Chelsea bombing, and his fingerprints appear on all the explosive devices found so far.
Police have confirmed that Rahami purchased the materials to build his bombs on eBay. Rather than using a pseudonym or hiding his internet footprints, he bought them with the user name "ahmad rahimi" and had them sent to a business where he was employed in Perth Amboy, about a half hour from Elizabeth. Two of the mobile phones used as bomb detonators were registered to Rahami relatives.
While Rahami had no known jihadi social media footprint, he declared his motives in a notebook found on his person after his arrest in Linden, New Jersey. His notes reference Al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and Osama bin Laden. Rahami wrote that he was "praying… for shahadat" and hoping not to be caught alive. He has not cooperated with police since his arrest.
Although Rahami was not an avid social media use, The Australian has found Facebook posts it claims belong to a sister, Aziza, rife with jihad references and support for radical Islamic regimes. "If defending ourselves is terrorism then let history be witness that we are terrorists!" a post on the Facebook page read, as well as "yes to Khilafah Islamiyah [Islamic Caliphate]." It is not known whether this sister is the same one carrying the video of Rahami testing explosives on his phone. The Facebook account in question has been taken down.
In addition to overt evidence that Rahami was planning a terrorist attack, Rahami's father reported his son to the FBI in 2014, after the younger Rahami stabbed a sibling during a family dispute. Rahami had visited his family's native Afghanistan and Pakistan on multiple occasions by 2014, spending over a year in the region on one occasion and marrying a Pakistani woman, Aziza Bibi Rahami. Despite Mohammed Rahami telling the FBI his son was a potential terrorist and his suspect stays in known terror hotbeds, authorities did not find sufficient evidence to consider the younger Rahami a threat.

Within the first image within the top left is the 40mm stud. The Lecturer then screwed it in and sawed it off flush with the opening and we had to learn how to extract it. To try this you need to discover the centre of the stud and drill a small hole then utilizing a stud extractor you undo the stud. As you may see my centre was barely off nevertheless it still labored! The 50mm stud is slightly below with the 20mm finish screwed in with lock-tight and a nut on the opposite end.

Construction on Ford Street in Zion City was completed Thursday, city-parish officials said.
The project marks the 19th completed road construction project of the city-parish's Green Light Plan, a voter-approved road improvements plan paid for with a half-cent sales tax.
Construction began May 13, 2010, Green Light Plan spokesman John Snow said.
The Ford project, with a total price tag of $6,122,806, replaced the narrow, two-lane, open-ditch road with two 15-foot travel lanes, and added two sidewalks and a 30-foot median, according to a news release from Mayor-President Kip Holden's office.
The improvements also include curb ramps for the sidewalk access on both sides of the road and improved street lighting along the raised median.
The project also included sewer improvements, replacing approximately 2,100 feet of existing sewer along Ford and Mickens Road.
The road remained open for most of the construction work, except for weekend days when a sewer line was installed, Snow said.

This particular story has had many variations and more than one studio has undertaken it (a feature film was just released). Being the first one I saw immortalized on film, I really loved this interpretation – which is why it may always be my favorite. In fact, this adaptation wants to make a statement and prove Wallis wanted to leave Edward in favor of seeing him fulfill his duty in turn painting Edward as "desperate" for her love. If there are any real failings, it can be hard to connect or sympathize with any of the characters. There comes a period of time that we do feel something for Wallis' position but quickly wonder if she is worthy of any understanding as the rumors of her past surface. Plus she actively participated in an affair, just as he pursued her. Edward is the most difficult because of his demeanor; his controlling personality is irritating.
At its best, there was a tender connection between the lovers and it was a sweet romance with realistic hardship meting beautiful results. Costuming is, as always gorgeous as are the locales. Most the film takes place in England so much of the scenery is wide landscapes at Windsor. I do have some issue with the cast. It may be interesting to note that there is quite an age gap between Richardson and Moore, whether that is historical or merely on the part of casting directors is never clear, and actually never is a story thread. Stephan gave a really emotional performance. Apart from a couple smaller roles, I'd never seen him in a leading role but he really did a magnificent job while being an asset to the production.
It was Joely who I took issue with. Normally she is a talented addition to any cast but I was constantly noticing her lack of decorum for this era, even in the smallest things; posture, dialogue and motivations – that was before constantly reminding myself that was all a part of her character. She was meant to be a direct contrast to British society, to create a stir. Wallis needed to stand out from her peers; she was supposed to be the type of person the Queen would never receive. Though we're supposed to believe that Edward is a playboy, that is never well written nor does the romance initially engross us. During their first meeting, we do not get the idea that these two will become more than acquaintances. Pegged as the greatest love story ever told, or the one "love affair that changed history," I cannot say that is exactly how I see this, but it is an interesting story. Whether you're a history buff or looking for some new costume drama bliss, Wallis and Edward is a satisfying way to spend an evening.
