What's wrong with this picture? I am walking through the staging lanes at high noon on a sweltering summer day. All around me people are wearing shorts and T-shirts, with wet shop rags wrapped around their foreheads to keep the heat at bay. Super Comp drivers sit in their dragsters with umbrellas strategically placed to ward off the sun, while electric fans circulate the heat inside a dozen Super Gassers like convection ovens. As I head toward the starting line, I hear engines running on all sides as racers warm up their engines.
Wait a minute! It's hot enough to cook an omelet on the starting line, so why are drivers warming up their engines?
It's no wonder that some racers have problems keeping their engines cool in the summer. If the temperature gauge is already at 160 or 180 degrees when you pull out of the staging lanes, chances are it will be pegged by the time you get to the time slip booth.
Some racers believe that a warm engine makes more power than a cold engine. Others think that a warm engine is more consistent. In fact, heat is the enemy of performance. A motor will make more power if you run it cold – and it can still be consistent.
My fellow back-page columnist Warren Johnson has described the chemistry of internal combustion in detail. An engine is really a vessel that contains the energy released by chemical reactions. Petroleum is the remains of prehistoric plants, plankton and protozoa. Eons ago, these organisms banked the sun's energy in their cells. We harvest this stored energy to heat our homes, cook our dinners and propel our race cars.
As W.J. noted, gasoline molecules release energy when they break down into water and carbon dioxide – lots of energy. Every gallon of gasoline contains roughly 114,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) of heating value, enough energy to raise the temperature of 1,000 pounds of water by 140 degrees.
Where does this energy go? Roughly 25 percent is converted to useful work, five percent is used to overcome the engine's internal friction and five percent is radiated directly into the air. The largest portion, about 35 percent, goes out the tailpipes as exhaust heat. The remaining 30 percent is heat that must be dissipated by the engine's cooling and lubrication systems.
Most drag race cars have cooling systems that are hard pressed to deal with such a staggering amount of heat. We typically use tiny radiators (or sometimes no radiator at all), low-speed electric water pumps and inefficient fans and shrouds because we are more concerned with reducing weight and minimizing parasitic losses than with cooling capacity. In contrast, the belt-driven water pump in a typical street car moves 100 gallons of coolant per minute through a thick-core radiator with a properly engineered fan and shroud system.
Think about how much heat energy is released in your engine's cylinders in just a few seconds of full-throttle acceleration – and remember that 25 percent of those BTUs go straight into the cooling system. Even though a drag racing engine runs only a relatively short time, it's hardly surprising when the heat of combustion overtaxes the cooling system.
The ritual of warming up an engine is really a holdover from the days when we ran "molasses" in our motors. Back when racers used 20W-50 and 10W-30 mineral-based oil in their engines, there was a valid reason to warm up an engine. Those thick petroleum oils caused big pumping losses. In contrast, today's off-the-shelf synthetic oils do not need an extended warm-up. Even on a freezing morning at the Winternationals, all you need to do is take the chill off when you use synthetic oil. Further heating synthetic oil makes no difference – it just needlessly puts heat into internal engine components and the coolant.
If you are not using synthetic oil in your 800-horsepower Super Gas, Super Comp or Top Sportsman engine, you should be. A serious racing engine deserves serious racing oil, not whatever is on sale at the local discount store. Why jeopardize a $20,000 engine with $1 oil?
Our dyno and track tests have repeatedly shown that a drag racing engine runs best with thin oil and cold water. No one is more obsessed with horsepower than Pro Stock racers. Do you see Pro drivers warming their engines in the staging lanes? Never. We tow our cars through the pits, push them in the staging lanes, and fire them up at the last possible minute. After the burnout, the staging process and a six-second quarter-mile run, the water temperature rarely exceeds 150 degrees.
In Pro Stock, a stone-cold engine is best. The fact that Pro engines are often on the ragged edge of detonation is certainly a factor. We have also dyno tested literally hundreds of sportsman engines, however, and it appears that a coolant temperature around 120 degrees at the start of a run is ideal.
I recognize that Pro Stock teams have the luxury of 90 minutes between runs, and that it's tough for a sportsman racer to keep the engine cool during round-robin eliminations. That's just another reason to have an effective cooling system and to refrain from putting unnecessary heat in the engine by warming it up. Once the water temperature reaches a certain point, the cooling system can be overwhelmed. It's like sitting in a traffic jam and watching the needle on your street car's temperature gauge steadily climb. When it reaches the critical point, the cooling system loses its ability to control the temperature. The result is a toasted engine.
I've watched racers warm up their engines and then turn off the electric pump and fan to keep heat in the motor. My advice is to leave the pump and fan running to pull heat out of the cylinder heads, which need to be cool. You won't pull much heat out of the oil because it's sitting in the sump of the oil pan.
My recommendations to sportsman racers on surviving the long, hot summer are to use synthetic oil and run your engine as cool as you can.

Graduate Fellowship Fund at Gallaudet University
The Graduate Fellowship Fund (GFF) is one of three separate funds made possible by the half-million dollar Centennial Fund that was presented by the Gallaudet University Alumni Association (GUAA) to Gallaudet in commemoration of its centennial anniversary (1964). This fund makes up half of the Centennial Fund. Its principal has been established by the University as a permanent endowment. Its investment is the responsibility of the GUAA Board of Directors.
Purpose of the Fund
By agreement between the GUAA and the Board of Trustees of Gallaudet University, the income from the investment of the GFF is used to provide financial assistance to deaf graduates of Gallaudet University and other accredited colleges and universities in pursuit of graduate study at colleges and universities for people who hear normally.
The GFF is administered by the GUAA Board of Directors. The GFF Committee consists of seven members appointed by the GUAA. Their terms of office are four years. Members may be reappointed. The executive director of the GUAA or his/her representative is an ex-officio member of the GFF Committee.
A list of nominees for fellowship awards, the amounts, terms, and duration of such grants, shall be recommended by the GFF Committee, subject to approval by the GUAA Board.
No restrictions are placed upon eligibility because of race, color, sex, creed, or nationality. In cases of equal qualification, preference is given to applicants who are citizens of the United States. To qualify for a fellowship, the following criteria must be met:
* Hearing Status—The fellowships are intended for deaf or hard of hearing students. Audiological assessment comparable to that required for admission to the Gallaudet University undergraduate program may be the qualifying factor in this respect. The assessment should not be more than three years old.
* Education—The minimum educational criterion will be admission to an accredited graduate program.
* Program of Study—The applicant must have been accepted in an accredited graduate program in a college or university. A letter to that effect from the college or university must be supplied with the application.

What do you do when your perceived notion of self conflicts with your true self? You thought you knew yourself well and something comes out of left field that completely shatters that theory. Do you evolve or hide? What does it say about you how you react?
For me, an identity conflicted year was when I was 22. I just realized I was a queerling and I always thought myself to be straight. It was part of how I defined myself. It completely shook my foundation. I already establish my identity as what was "me" and "not me." I thought I had a nice neat package to present to the world when that presentation was wrong. So, faced with this, I accepted that I was a queerling, after a year of being confused by what I was feeling. I suppose I didn't want to admit it to myself. It wasn't the fact that I cared whether I was queer or not, it was more the fact that I had "defined" myself and the definition didn't fit. I am happier for redefining myself and accepting myself for who I am.
Some people don't accept themselves when they have realizations about their person that they might not like. I think this is the more painful route to take because they are always denying themself from being who they really are. It becomes a matter of keeping up appearances and putting skeletons in the closet. It becomes about acting and being an image rather than being you.
What do you have to lose by being yourself? What do you stand to gain? By denying yourself being yourself, you lose true connections. Everything is fake because it is all an act. Whereas, if you are yourself without holding back, you have freedom to be you. Your connections are real – since there is no inhibitions on your part.
I've only been drunk once in my life and I learned from that experience that I wanted to be as free sober as I was drunk. I didn't want to be dependent on a substance to show my true colors or blame it when something was improper. I wanted to be me – all the time.
I used to play the game with keeping up appearances to be what I thought people wanted me to be and not being myself. I just got to the point I couldn't handle such fakery anymore. I stopped playing the game. I lost some, gain more, and now I am much happier for it. I can wake up in the morning and face myself for who I am – not who I want to be – I am my ideal self.
It takes a lot of working on yourself to get to the ideal state. But, really, what is more important in this world than working on making yourself the best you can be? So often people settle for an image that is being sold to them rather than figuring things out for themselves. It's a harder path to take but in the end is much more fulfilling.

25 Years Later, "The Simpsons" May Finally Bow Out Gracefully
By Rob Payne | Industry | October 10, 2011 |
Clearly heeding at least half of my advice, Fox and the creative staff behind "The Simpsons" have agreed to renew the series for two more years, leading up to a historical 25th season after a week of tense contract negotiations. A roundabout far tenser than the one Simpsons patriarch Homer had in his brain between "Dental Plan" and "Lisa Needs Braces." As per Deadline, the voice actors behind the population of Springfield, U.S.A. rescinded their deal for a 30% pay cut with a dip in the back-end honeypot, and simply took the 30% cut, meaning Fox capitulated ever so slightly in spite of their previous "45% cut or no deal" ultimatum. No word, yet, on whether or not the 25th season of "The Simpsons," which would conclude with a remarkable 559 episodes in 2014, will be the last for the longest running scripted sitcom of all time.
Cast member Harry Shearer took to his Facebook account late last week to issue a statement, which said, among other things, that he and his cast mates "are engaged in what will probably be our last contract negotiation with Fox." He went so far as to say that his representatives asked how low his salary had to go in order to get to a back-end deal, and that Fox apparently balked by saying no number would ever be low enough. If that's true, and season 25 truly is the end, then the voice cast that made Fox and its parent company, Newscorp., billions of dollars in merchandising will never see a dime of that money. Which means that in the final two years of the groundbreaking series, the cast won't even be getting their highest salary, and will likely never be able to afford their collective dream of owning solid gold mansions and a fleet of rocket cars.
But, really, the woes of millionaires and billionaires are trite and shallow in the midst of economic turmoil around the planet. Especially when the millionaires in question never had any legal rights to those extra riches, anyway. Of course, Fox's continuing refusal to recognize how much they owe their network's success to this particular cast on this specific show is greed, plain and simple. When the talent's only demand boils down to participating in the brand's lucrative ancillaries, a brand they helped to define and solidify, the issue of fairness does rear its yellow, overbit head. Was the cast also greedy? Maybe, but they settled for far less than they felt they were due. And we all want to be fairly compensated for our contributions to the corporations that ride atop our shoulders, don't we?
In the end, the only good news to come from all this is that the plug will finally, hopefully, be pulled on "The Simpsons." The greatest television show ever will be put to rest with a record appropriate for its contributions to the world ("Simpsons did it!"), and one that will probably never be broken. Once again, Homer defies the odds.

"Breaking Bad" — "Face Off": A Wall of Fire About Me, I've Nothing Now to Fear


Full Moons occur on Equinox about once every 19 years.
The last time this happened was on March 20, 2000. The next time is March 19, 2030.
The really old ones—back in Mesopotamia four thousand years ago when astrology was born—would look at us on Equinox today and shake their heads.
"Where are your great festivals?" they would wonder.
This special New Moon announced the arrival of Nisan, the first month of the year, when nearly two weeks of rites would begin, including sacrifices, purification rituals, divinations, and the recitation of the great epic, the Enuma Elish. This poem united and relinked the community to their origin story, how from darkness and chaos, the gods brought forth light, grace, order, and eventually, humans, to assist them in the smooth running of things.
Failure to observe the annual rituals would invite the gods' displeasure. Such a people would suffer conflict, calamities, and a tragic decline—which is just what happened when Babylon eventually did take its spectacular fall, in October 539 BCE. Some say this was due to a serious miscalculation made by the diviners. But in truth, the sacred calendar had been steadily unwinding over the centuries. The great temples had fallen into disrepair. The holiness inside the rites had been forgotten.
Perhaps it sounds a little like our time now. Such is the way of things. All worlds build and fall apart. This is a Moon teaching. Each cycle the Great Mother instructs us in how to behave during both the building and falling-apart times.
At the Full Moon, where we are this week, it's time for revelations and gatherings. This is the peak time in the lunar month. What was true for millenniums of our ancestors–the hunter-gatherers, farmers, lovers, poets and pagans–is still true. We can still sense that Full Moon nights are powerful and celebratory. Even now, if you're stuck inside a windowless room when the Moon is full, your body will likely feel restless. Your mind could be teeming with bright or werewolf-crazy ideas.
At the Full Moon Equinox, the Mesopotamians would urge us to pay attention to the divine messages written on the sky this night. Sadly most humans have lost the art of reading natural symbols directly. We're left to approach such events with a fuzzy kind of wonder. We might think "Wow, Full Moon/Equinox … I hear this only happens every nineteen years or so." This thought will capture us for a moment or two then quickly slip away. Without sacred context, it's meaningless.
But if you're one who yearns to go beyond and deeper … if you've ever secretly thought the gods might still be watching, take heart. What was long ago true is still archetypally relevant. March 20, 2019 is a meaningful day on which to offer your attention to the sacred running of our world. Take a moment, wherever you are, to step back into the sacred calendar. This is a potent portal through which to visualize our fractured world made whole again.
In your mind's eye, gently see it and sense it. See us all gathered. Sense our full willingness–around the globe–to write the great new story of our rebirthing. For ours and our children's future, for the futures of strangers and their children, for the futures of the rivers, plants and animals in our care, raise hands and heart to the invisible powers. Ask the gods to help us cleanse, calm, and re-order the Earth into a more loving, harmonious whole.
If we all do this on Full Moon Equinox night, even for just thirty seconds each, this mini sacred rite will ripple out, into the Great Fabric of Things. And change our fates. As the gods are still interested and listening.
Do you yearn for a closer relationship with the Moon? You'll find instruction and support in my monthly moon playbooks. Timed to your location, they include dates/hours for the pertinent movements of the Moon, as well as pages and pages of inspiration. All you need is the time to pursue one of my monthly suggestions–and then the magic will begin! Enroll for a month, three months, or a year, here.
Nervous system wired and firing this Full Moon night? Here's a fine antidote to werewolf syndrome: Check out my Bliss Tapes, especially the calming and uplifting energy meditations for Venus and the Moon. Each practice is 22 minutes–20 minutes being the minimum time needed to shift your body's rhythm. Unwind physical tensions, clear energy channels, and refresh your spirit!
This was beautiful! Thank you, Dana. I was just outside looking at the moon and wondering what was in store and how I should honor it. I will participate as well.
Thank you Dana. Your insights are always uplifting and educational. I've learned a great deal from you over the years and will keep my ear to the ground and eyes wide open.
Great! I'm sure there will be signs. Thanks for the nice feedback.
Thank you for this inspirational piece Dana, I will participate in this tomorrow.

Learn to play, coach, cheer for football in one place
BARSTOW • Do you want to coach football? Do you have a son that wants to play football? Does your daughter want to be a cheerleader?
Learning the fundamentals and specialties of coaching, playing and cheering would require several trips to several cities on several days. Barstow native John Williams is working to bring all three aspects of the game together in an all-inclusive traveling clinic. Williams is operating Coaching Solutions Innovations Football a multi-discipline clinic, and he is brining it to the High Desert next week. Williams will be holding a clinic at Fort Irwin on Friday and at Strigham Park on Rimrock Road in Barstow next Saturday.
"I just remember going to my first clinic with Dick Boscoe years ago and leaving thinking that I wanted to do my own," Williams said. "Now I get my chance and I want to include every part of the game and every person."
The coaches will be able to earn a certification that highlights safety concerns in football. Among those concerns are how to reduce head and spine injuries, symptoms of heat illness and the development of emergency plans. The coaches will also learn ways to better deal with players and parents, according to Williams.
"Football is always changing," Williams said. "It's important to stay on top of the current trends in safety gear and coaching strategy. I've learned so many things from these guys I work with now after all these years."
While the coaches are earning their certifications the players will be busy warming up, being scouted for potential positions and being directed by coaches that specialize in those positions.
Williams has brought along many of his past players to help coach the younger generation. Barstow High School graduate and former Aztec wide receiver Daniel Robinson is among the highest profile coach for Barstow residents. Robinson played for the University of Texas at El Paso, and he spent two years on the training camp squad for the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. He has spent the last two years playing in the Indoor Football League for the Spokane Shock and most recently the Green Bay Blizzard.
Nathaniel Stone, also a BHS graduate and football player, works primarily with running backs and on speed conditioning. Stone played several seasons with the Barstow Riffians and now plays with the Inland Empire Enforcers. He has won three league rushing titles during his time in semiprofessional football. Stone was also selected as the High Desert Youth Football coach of the year for 2009.
Robinson and Stone both played for Williams and said they enjoy being able to give back to the new generation especially here in Barstow.
"Every coach is different and you never know what one kid will respond best to," Robinson said. "You could be the coach that makes him love the game or changes his life. These camps are great for kids. I think if we had these when I was coming up there would have been more of the guys from our high school team getting scholarships then."
Although much of the focus of the camps appears to be on coaching and playing, Williams said cheerleading is an important part of the game. Potential cheerleaders will get the chance to meet and learn from former Arizona Cardinals cheerleader Bari Yonkers. Yonkers spent five years as a cheerleader for the Cardinals and was the captain of the Cardinal Showteam for two of those years. Every cheerleader will get a set of pom poms included with the camp.
Registration will be taken at Stringham Park the day of the clinic or online at www.csifootball.com this week.

Dave East Height, Weight, Age & Girlfriend
A rapper from New York City, Dave East has been producing music since his early twenties. Growing up in Manhattan, he has been writing rhymes for as long as he can remember. Finally, in 2010, he made his official debut with the mixtape titled, Change of Plans which garnered him little recognition. Since then, he has released several additional tapes including Insomnia, American Greed, No Regrets, Don't Sleep, Black Rose, and Gemini. Having said that, it wasn't until the mid-2010's that he started to create a buzz in the rap scene.
Making his breakthrough, the emcee came out with his next mixtape, Kairi Chanel in 2016. Named after his daughter, the project included several guest appearances from Fabulous, 2 Chains, The Game, Cam'ron, Seven Streeter, and Beanie Sigel. A significant improvement over his previous efforts, it peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Top 200 and at number 3 on the Top R&B Albums. Included in the track list were songs, The Real is Back, Don't Shoot, Don Pablo, Bad Boy on Death Row, Eyes on Me, Can't Ignore, and From the Heart. That same year, he also teamed up with Kur for a collaborative EP dubbed, Born Broke Die Rich.
Most recently, the rapper released his debut EP, Paranoia: A True Story on August 18, 2017. A prelude towards his forthcoming album, it spawned several hits including Phone Jumpin (Feat. Wiz Khalifa), Maneuver (Feat. French Montana), My Dirty Little Secret, Have You Ever, Wanna Be Me, and Found a Way. A solid release, the album reached as high as number 9 on the US Billboard Top 200 and number 5 on the Top R&B Albums chart. Supported by the single, Perfect (Feat. Chris Brown), it only boosted his presence further in the rap scene.
Speaking of collaborations, he's worked with several other artists over the past few years. For instance, he has teamed up with Lumidee, Bitta Blood, Greatness Jones, Juelz Santana, Faro the Kid, Snoop Dogg, and Trae the Truth. Some of the said tracks include, I'm On 3.0, Realest Ones, Roll Up, Off the Porch, Be Good, A Pusher's Dream, and Grind for That. On top of that, East has also guest appeared in the works of Meek Mill, BJ The Chicago Kid, Future, Has, Berner, and Seven Streeter, among others.
As far as recent ventures go, he made his acting debut in the fourth season of the BET drama series, Being Mary Jane, which premiered in January 2017. In addition to that, he also appeared in the shows, Celebrity Basketball Game, and Wild 'N Out.

Change a Letterform, Transform a Brand.
A quiet change makes a radical difference in brand presentation relatively quickly.
I recently had a chance to dig through some typeface designs I've done over the years. It's amazing what a difference even a small amount of tweaking can make to a font. A familiar typeface can be completely rejuvenated through choking down the weight, or simply redrawing a single character. Such a simple change also has the capacity to trasform brand perception.
Miller Display is a beautiful typeface. Although I've always found it odd that it was never designed for the screen since it was drawn in 1997. It takes an insane amount of work to make a typeface. Not only do you have to establish a letterform grid and metrics for the font, you have to spend hundreds of hours kerning and letterspacing the typeface to get it to a professionally usable state. And you're not simply doing that for twenty six letters and ten numbers, you have to do that for all the glyphs as well, in both uppercase and lowercase, and every combination of letter, glyph, and case thereof. The project can be overwhelming. Yet surely the original designers must have knows screens were going to dominate the next few decades. What's with these uppercase Q's?!
I've always believed that typography is the soul of design. Individual letterforms can have outsized impacts—working in some instances, and being disastrous in others. I'll use the Q above as an example. Miller is a beautiful, timeless typeface. It has an elegance and permanence which feels almost luxurious. So it makes sense that Lincoln would choose this as their typeface. But there's a paradox which happens due to context. When paired with the modern lines of a car, the typeface can feel antiquated and painfully out of touch, dragging the brand down with it. Such is the case with the Miller Display "Q".
Lincoln Miller before my edits, and after.
By simply redrawing the Q, and problematic letters such as the Y, the typeface is completely reborn. Of course I made minor modifications to the weight and the overall choke of the curves, but it's the change in the letterforms which completely modernized the font.
I don't know why more designers and brands don't make this investment. Granted, in our light speed communication culture nobody has the time to sit down and craft a new font. This is generally the domain of foundries who can rightfully charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for a custom font. But simply modernizing a typeface isn't that difficult — the tools to do this were democratized long ago — and the benefits to brand perception could be pretty large.


It was April and Tax Day was looming when an elderly woman showed up at my desk at the IRS. She said she required a thick stack of tax forms. "Why so many?" I asked.
"My son is overseas," she said. "He asked me to pick up forms for the soldiers on the base."
"You shouldn't have to do this," I told her. "It's the base commander's job to make sure that his troops have access to the forms they need."
"I know. I'm the base commander's mother."

The first thing most people know about Dame Cleo Laine is that she has an extraordinary vocal range.
At the height of her fame in the 60s and 70s, Laine's world was four octaves wide and she loved to travel.
Her flexibility meant she sang jazz, popular and classical music -" and eventually became the only person nominated for a Grammy in all three categories.
Now in her 70s, her range isn't quite as extensive, and the question is posed as delicately as possible, does she have to take extra care with her voice these days?
I don't really, I'm quite amazed at its resilience, Laine says, by phone from England.
The Dame, who insists on being called Cleo, then seems to get the hint.
I think some of the top has gone but I only did the top just to be noticed really. And it worked! Because people did notice the high range from somebody whose natural range is contralto.
So Laine only sang high to show off, and doesn't like some of her classics.
She's quite frank, and continues when asked about the joys of performing with her partner, husband and composer John Dankworth.
It's very true, but we're not always joined at the hip. I do leave him from time to time and go off by myself, and sometimes for a year at a time -¦ I was away for a year, for instance, when I played the Witch in Into The Woods, Laine says.
The second thing most people know about Cleo Laine is that she's a jazz singer -" one of the few easily named by those not au fait with the form.
Her popularising of jazz was once revolutionary, but now newcomers like Norah Jones are picking up where she left off.
I think they're wonderful and they're very necessary, she says.
If you get someone like Norah Jones and Harry Connick Jr and Jamie Cullum, then it's refreshing, and there's another one, Diana Krall -" they're all out there waving the flag for jazz in some shape or form.
Laine says gay people have always been a part of the jazz world.
The gay musicians that I knew were never looked on with scorn as far as I can remember, she says.
They are very, very open-hearted people. What they're interested in is whether you can play your instrument.
That's all they care about. And if a gay man can play his balls off, as it were, they couldn't care less.
Cleo Laine and John Dankworth perform in concert at the State Theatre on Saturday 19 March. Phone 13 28 49.

Last Day Deaf Media Partner : Drab Majesty live in Athens w/ Vercetti Technicolour (Death Disco, 7 May, Athens, Greece)
Last Day Deaf — May 1, 2017
We are proud to announce that Last Day Deaf is one of the Media Partners for the unique tragic wave/goth/Mid-Fi act Drab Majesty (Dais Records, Lolipop Records, Weyrd Son Records) with special guests Vercetti Technicolour that will take place at Death Disco, Athens. on 7th May. Not to be missed!
The event is organised by 3 Shades Of Black.
Drab Majesty is the solo project of Deb DeMure, the androgynous alter-ego of L.A.-based musician Andrew Clinco. With its combination of reverb-drenched guitars, synth bass lines, commanding vocals, and rhythmic drum machine beats, this project is a stark departure from Clinco's previous stints as drummer in Marriages and Black Mare. Dubbed "Tragic Wave" and "Mid-Fi" by DeMure, Drab Majesty eloquently blends classic 80s New Wave and hints of early 4AD with a futuristic originality. Drab Majesty's first release, a limited-edition cassette of 100 copies titled Unarian Dances, was self-released in 2012 and re-pressed by Lolipop Records shortly thereafter. Drab Majesty then signed with Dais Records and put out the debut LP Careless in 2015. Careless was met with high praise from critics and fans alike, and the original pressing is now a sought-after gem. A year after the initial pressings of Careless sold out, Dais released a compilation titled Completely Careless, featuring Drab Majesty's entire discography, including two previously unreleased tracks.
A talented multi-instrumentalist, DeMure composes all of the elements of Drab Majesty. However, rather than taking personal credit for the music, DeMure insists that the inspiration for the songs is received from an other-worldly source and that Deb is merely a vessel through which outside ideas flow inward. But Drab Majesty is more than just a musical project — it's a methodical experiment in the identity of creativity. The character Deb DeMure is an enigma that eludes all expectations of gender and ego. When DeMure's imposing 6' 4" figure assumes the stage, Deb's playful, harlequinesque appearance, tempered by an ominous body language, and clashing with the dreamy, ethereal melodies comes across as a web of contrasts. The result is a perfect balance between seemingly conflicting messages, between the high and the low, the drab and the divine.

'Russia Should Go Away and Shut Up' - UK Defense Minister Gavin Williamson
© AP Photo / Karim Kadim
Alleged Poisoning Attack on Russian Ex-Spy Skripal in UK (226)
Speaking in Bristol on March 15, the British Defense Minister commented on what Russian might do in retaliation to the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats from the UK. "Russia should go away and should shut up. But the government will consider what it does. It would be wrong to prejudge it," he said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has commented on Williamson's tough statement, saying that it shows that Britain's partners are worried and London has things to hide.
"Highly Likely that the Secretary of Defense of Great Britain said: 'Russia should not take retaliatory measures, but withdraw and shut up.' And what else can the Defense Minister of a country — which conceals the circumstances of the use of chemical agents on its territory and does not want to transfer available information, as required by the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons — say? London has something to hide. Their partners are nervous," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated.
The Russian Defense Ministry, in its turn, has also addressed this strident call, saying that it proves the voidness of UK's accusations against Russia.
"The rhetoric demonstrated today by the head of the British defense ministry Gavin Williamson is remarkable for his extreme degree of intellectual impotence," spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, said.
According to the spokesman, Moscow grown used to fake news that demonizes the country and "has strong immunity against it."
During his first keynote speech since becoming Defense Secretary last year, Williamson has outlined the threats faced by the UK, modernization of the Defense Program, further investments in the armed forces, and the British response to the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal.
One of the questions posed to Williamson by a reporter in the audience was: "Russia has said it will expel British diplomats from Moscow. Has the UK got a further package of measures it could unleash in response? And could this include a military response?"
"What we will do is look at what Russia responds to what we have done. It's absolutely atrocious what Russia did in Salisbury. We have responded to that. Frankly, Russia should go away and should shut up. But if they do respond to the action we have taken, we will considerate it carefully and we will look at our options but it would be wrong to prejudge our response," Williamson replied.

Gavin Williamson, right, outside the Ministry of Defence in London after he was named as the new Secretary of State for Defence following the resignation of Sir Michael Fallon who admitted his behaviour had "fallen below the high standards required" in the role, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2017.
Williamson spoke of the "Russian threat," a subject he had already raised earlier this year, when he warned of a Russian attack on British infrastructure that could kill "thousands" in an attempt to align himself with more experienced counterparts.
"If we doubted the threat Russia poses to our citizens, we only have to look at the shocking example of their reckless attack in Salisbury," Mr. Williamson said on Thursday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on UK accusations against Russia in relation to the Skripal poisoning case, saying:
"Russia perceives the position taken up by UK authorities with great bewilderment and incomprehension… The accusations are groundless. Moreover, these accusations were voiced before any information about the substance used emerged, which shows the presence of all signs of a provocation against Russia," Peskov told reporters.
Million-Dollar Investment
Williamson also pointed out that the "chemical threat doesn't just come from Russia but from others," which then led to the announcement of a sizable investment in a new chemical weapons defense center.
"But we have world-class expertise at Defence Science Technology Laboratory (DSTL) Porton Down and today I can announce we will be strengthening this capability by investing £48m (($67 million) in a new Chemical Weapons Defence Centre to ensure we maintain our cutting edge in chemical analysis and defense."
Porton Down is located only a few miles from Salisbury, where the former intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter collapsed on March 4. The chemical weapon laboratory of the British military is where the toxin in Skripal's case has been identified as 'Novichok'.
Shocking that the fiendish Russians brought nerve gas to Salisbury. Did they not know that there are huge stockpiles of it just 8 miles up the road in Porton Down, Britain's very own chemical weapons manufacturing facility. 40,000 people live in Salisbury. Now that is shocking. pic.twitter.com/RzFmEZLO4d

UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd will hold a meeting of the government's emergency response committee, Cobra, on Skripal's case, a source familiar with the government told Sputnik on Thursday. According to the source, relations with Russia will also be discussed.

Colyton landowner Henry Courtenay was beheaded by Henry VIII and his lands were confiscated. Local merchants and yeomen raised 1,000 marks and bargained with the King for the return of the part of the estate which was located in Colyton. At the time, the annual income of a successful merchant was about 25 marks.
In 1546 the properties were restored to the town under a Deed of Feoffment on condition that an assembly of Feoffees ensured that all the income from the properties was spent on "good and commendable" uses for the community.
The Chamber of Feoffees is a registered charity.

Q: using dropzonejs to upload images to firebase storage? I am looking for a way to use  dropzonejs to upload images to firebase storage. On regular way without dropzone it is no problem. but i like the functionalities of dropzonejs and want to use it.
I would appriciate any help.

A: Not sure this is possible without ripping out the upload internals of dropzone and replace them with our uploader. The other option would be to set up your own server and use a GCS uploader to upload to Firebase Storage.

No, 1989 Won't Be On Apple Music
News June 18, 2015 7:43 PM By Peter Helman
When Apple first announced its new streaming service Apple Music, they said that subscribers would be able to stream everything available on the iTunes store. If that were true, it would've been a major coup in the streaming wars, making Apple Music the first on-demand streaming service to offer access to the Beatles' catalog and Taylor Swift's elusive 1989. Well, it turns out that that's not quite true after all: BuzzFeed reports that representatives for Apple and Swift's label Big Machine have both confirmed that Apple has been unable to secure the rights to Swift's newest blockbuster. Only the rest of her catalog, which is also currently on other paid subscription services like Rdio and Tidal — not Spotify — will be available on Apple Music. And according to Big Machine, they're not planning on putting 1989 on any streaming service anytime soon.
In other Apple Music news, their contract negotiations with labels have been under a lot of speculation lately. It's true that labels won't receive any royalties during the three-month free trial period that Apple Music is offering, but now the Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe is claiming that Apple threatened to remove his band's music from iTunes if he didn't agree to those terms. According to a string of tweets by Newcombe, Apple "has a new deal they offered me: they said we want to stream your music free for 3 months…I said what if I say no, and they said 'we'll take your music off itunes.' hard ball? fuck these satanic corporations." Newcombe has a bit of a reputation as a crazy person, though, and Apple has (unsurprisingly) refuted claims that they're bullying artists and labels into offering their catalog on Apple Music, so the notion that artists who decline will get their music pulled from iTunes may not be entirely true either.
In even more Apple news, they've reportedly revoked audio cable company Monster's right to manufacture licensed Apple products due to Monster's suit against Beats Music, which Apple purchased last year. Monster's complaint alleges that Beats co-founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine basically cheated Monster — who designed and manufactured many of the early Beats headphones models — out of proceeds from the $3 billion sale to Apple. "It shows a side of Apple that consumers don't see very often," said Monster's General Manager David Tognotti of Apple's decision. "Apple can be a bully."

Porridge is one of those dishes that always makes me feel great. The thought of consuming a nurturing bowl of creamy oats is instantly warming and drool-worthy!
Growing up within a European family, the only way to cook porridge was on the stove and with milk. 20-something years later and nothing has changed. OK well maybe some things… For one, I am the most surprised to discover that my nostalgic childhood recipe is even better with the use of almond milk!
I have always been a plain-jane with my porridge topping, preferring the nutty, chewy taste and texture, allowing the oats to shine through with maybe a hint of cinnamon and a little fresh fruit to complement. Although this combination is still fantastic, last year I started creating unsweetened stewed rhubarb and adding it to my porridge (read: everything and more on that later) as an-anytime treat. This combination changed me forever. Its' ease, deliciousness, simplicity and nourishment are too good not to share.
Oats are my kind of superfood.
On the science front they are cholesterol lowering, rich in Vitamin E and dietary fibre (more than any other grain) and contain manganese, selenium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc.
For me, one of the winning points about oats is their effect on blood sugar and insulin. As someone with genetic insulin resistance this is a super crucial element to the food that I consume and for anyone looking to prevent diabetes and a whole host of issues! Just like the ads tell us, it is the beta-glucan levels in oats that slow the rise in blood sugar levels following a meal, ensuring that changes in blood sugar levels are avoided.
The other bonus is that I can eat a bowl of porridge and even with my activity levels, be all set and satisfied for 5 hours. There is little else that can do this for me and I feel incredible when I have porridge for breakfast! This point is always very interesting to anyone looking to lose a little weight as oats are so satisfying, even in smaller amounts and therefore weight management gets a helping hand.
So you eat something you love and both your insulin and weight can be controlled – amazing!
Told you it was a superfood.
The oats/gluten-free debate rages on… Oats as a grain, are gluten-free however the problem lies in their general farming, harvesting and processing. It is at these stages that cross-contamination from other grains (with gluten) can very easily occur and in Australia this is common.
There are brands like Bob's Red Mill for instance, who offer a gluten-free oat product and generally speaking steel cut oats (the least processed version of oats) are a much safer choice for anyone steering clear of gluten though coeliacs are encouraged to stay away from oats altogether.
On the rhubarb front, this recipe may even outshine the porridge itself! It couldn't be easier. It also couldn't be more delicious. This week my local market was selling 2 bunches for $4 and I have found incredibly varied uses for the stewed rhubarb all week long.
The ratio of rhubarb to apple is completely variable, just leave the other ingredients the same. I personally feel that a ratio of 2:1.5 rhubarb to apple is spot on though we all have different tastes. Increase or decrease the apple ratio as you prefer and by all means if you feel you want a sweeter result, add a dash of raw honey. I would recommend making this recipe and seeing what you think, it is surprisingly sweet as it is.
Will keep well when stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days.
So now onto the main attraction – this porridge.
Whether you choose to make and add the rhubarb or not, this porridge has two ingredients and takes about 5 minutes. Seriously. That's it.
Use the beautiful images in this post to inspire some additional topping suggestions. Even if you don't have the rhubarb on hand, maybe try out any combination of crushed walnuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, mulberries, goji berries, a sprinkling of cinnamon and perhaps a drizzle of maple syrup or raw honey. Fresh fruit is always a winner as well, be inventive and discover new combos each time – there is no wrong answer.
If this bowl of heaven has you excited to sample then share it with someone else and let them kick off their weekend with Dreamy, Creamy Porridge too!
17 Responses to "Dreamy Creamy Porridge & Stewed Rhubarb"
This rhubarb porridge looks amazing but I was wondering why you have said that it is gluten free when you have used rolled oats. According to the Coeliac Society, oats (except for steel cut) are not considered gluten free?
Thank you for your message and absolutely spot on information! Oats as a grain, are gluten-free however the problem lies in their general farming, harvesting and processing. It is at these stages that cross-contamination from other grains (with gluten) can very easily occur.
There are brands like Bob's Red Mill for instance, who offer a gluten-free oat product and yes as you have said, generally speaking steel cut oats (the least processed version of oats) are a much safer choice for anyone steering clear of gluten.
Thanks again for the question!
I love your food philosophy and wish you every success on your crusade to educate as many people as possible about considered choices and healthy eating.
I appreciate that Jennie and thank you for such a thoughtful message.
I love rhubarb and porridge..one cup of uncooked porridge would make a huge bowlful! Can I really eat that much haha!!

My pleasure Jaimie and I'm thrilled that you love it so much!
I agree… yum and so satisfying right?
I'm ready excited to try this recipe!
I've recently been put on a low fodmap diet for ibs, is there something I can substitute the apple for to make it low fodmap?

Scaling-up in Europe
The advantages and misconceptions of equity crowdfunding

In 2017 almost 130 billion euro has been raised by using different types of crowdfunding in the Netherlands. From this amount, only 0.75% is coming from equity crowdfunding campaigns, which is funding in exchange for shares. Chris Thomas, co-founder of the international equity crowdfunding platform Eureeca explains why more entrepreneurs should consider this form of crowdfunding and tackles the two most significant misconceptions.

Different crowdfunding forms
Crowdfunding is a form of public funding where the money for a project or company is collected from the crowd. It is an alternative form of financing of which four types exist in the Netherlands. Besides the most popular form of crowdfunding based on donations, the forms based on rewards and loans are doing very well this year. Equity crowdfunding is the less common form of crowdfunding. Here are the differences between the crowdfunding forms.
1) Crowdfunding based on donations
Within this kind of crowdfunding, entrepreneurs ask the investors to donate a certain amount of money, without obligation, to make the concerned project a success. There is no return to the investment. This form is mainly used by people who want to bring a creative idea to life. At the same time, entrepreneurs are testing their concept they seek to fund through crowdfunding. There aren't any risks linked to this form of crowdfunding, neither for the entrepreneur nor the investor.
2) Crowdfunding based on rewards
The name says it all. With this form of crowdfunding the investor gets a reward in exchange for the donation. For example: an unknown writer who wants to publish his first book, will reward every investor with a copy of his book. After the reward has been received, the collaboration between the entrepreneur and investor is finished. The following agreement applies for a lot of crowdfunding platforms; when the intended amount is not collected in time, every investor receives their donation back.
3) Crowdfunding based on loans
With crowdfunding based on loans, investors provide a loan to the entrepreneur which they want back after a certain period of time in addition to a certain amount of interest. When successful, this form gives the investor a quick chance on return of investment. However, this form of crowdfunding is also accompanied by the risk of the entrepreneur not being capable of returning the loan.
4) Crowdfunding based on shares
Crowdfunding based on shares, also known as equity crowfunding, is based on the principle of crowdinvesting. Through an online platform, entrepreneurs and investors are being linked together and funding is exchanged for shares, depending on the size of the investment. This form of crowdfunding is being used a lot in America and the United Kingdom. In the Netherlands this form is hardly offered.
Which crowdfunding form is suitable for an entrepreneur depends on the phase of the lifecycle of an enterprise. While a starting entrepreneur can be helped most successfully with funding based on donations, funding based on loans or shares can be a smart choice for entrepreneurs who have had some sort of revenue or profit. ''Equity crowdfunding is a form of funding which is not suitable for some parties, but can yield advantages for SME-businesses who want to grow,'' says Thomas. In a world where the amount of SME-businesses and startups is growing rapidly, Thomas expects that the percentage of equity crowdfunding campaigns will increase over the next couple of years.
The advantages of equity crowdfunding
Crowdfunding entails, compared to traditional forms of funding, a lot of advantages. Advantages which mostly have to do with the high accessibility and use of online platforms. This alternative form of funding ensures that enterprises who are not supported by traditional forms of funding, get a chance to scale-up. Because crowdfunding happens online, entrepreneurs have access to a large number of potential investors. "Where one does not see an opportunity in a project, this does not have to apply to the other,'' says Thomas.
International crowdfunding platforms increases the chance of success through their worldwide coverage of investors. Next to this the minimum stake is often very low, causing investors to take more risks in their investments. Last but not least, crowdfunding is not just a way to collect money. It is a way to attract attention to a project or product as well. Therefore, crowdfunding is a way to market your product or project.
In addition to the above mentioned advantages of equity crowdfunding, the exchange of funding for shares also has two big advantages which differentiates equity crowdfunding from the rest.
Advantage 1: Investing in your own enterprise
One of the biggest advantages of equity crowdfunding is that it ensures that the collected funding stays within the enterprise. This is not the case with other forms of crowdfunding, such as funding based on loans. The result is an increased cashflow and working capital on the balance sheet. This is partly the reason why equity crowdfunding is highly suitable for enterprises which are in a phase of growth. The generated earnings, can be invested directly into the company.
Advantage 2: A chance to grow together
The principle of ''what's in it for me'' is often used in crowdfunding. Investors are willing to fund, but there is a big chance they want something in return. Shares give the investors the chance to grow with their investment and, when successful, receive a higher Return On Investment (ROI), which is a great advantage for both entrepreneur and investor. Equity crowdfunding also ensures a close cooperation between both parties. Investors become a part of the enterprise and, therefore, are dependent on the performances and success of the project or product. Therefore, the investors want to do their part in making the enterprise a success. They can often open doors for the entrepreneurs which otherwise would have stayed closed.
The misconceptions of equity crowdfunding
There are some aspects of equity crowdfunding which can put off entrepreneurs to use this form of funding. However, in many cases this is caused by misconceptions, according to Thomas. He tackles the two most named misconceptions.
Misconception 1: Administrative hassle
The choice for corporate funding looks limited for a lot of entrepreneurs. It is expected that managing an investorsportfolio takes a lot of time and effort. This is the first and biggest misconception of equity crowdfunding. By choosing the right crowdfunding partner, the opposite is true. Platforms like Eureeca manage the administration and shares for the entrepreneurs. This way the entrepreneurs deal with a group of investors functioning as one shareholder. "Eureeca takes the perspective of the entrepreneur and offers what they need'', says Thomas.
Misconception 2: Safety first
The second misconception of equity crowdfunding has to do with safety. Because equity crowdfunding acts in shares, this is being evaluated as a bigger risk than forms of funding in which shares have no part. Once again choosing the right crowdfunding platform is essential. There are big differences in which crowdfunding platforms are regulated and the way they handle the confidential data of the entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs should evaluate potential partners on the policy they have around handling confidential data, insight into the business profiles and certifications such as the Dutch Authority of Financial Markets (AFM). Choose a crowdfunding platform which supports you with making the right choices,'' recommends Thomas.
Prior to collecting funding, it is important to check what funding the concerned enterprise needs and make a decision based on this. Equity crowdfunding is underexposed. Unfairly according to Thomas: this form can offer entrepreneurs and investors unique opportunities and result in an increased chance of growth.''

Please correct the record with your readers. Malibu citizens may have been left with an incorrect impression of recent events surrounding the Civic Center open space and Egret Pond area, as a result of stories that ran in both local Malibu newspapers.
While Malibu Bay Co., developers of the proposed Civic Center construction project, and their supporters recently pulled out the stops in attempts to discredit and marginalize the efforts of Wetlands Action Network, we are nonetheless quite pleased with the ultimate decision by the Malibu City Council to hire Huffman & Associates to conduct a wetlands delineation. Dr. Terry Huffman's nationally recognized credentials will serve the city well as he recommends determination for regulatory jurisdiction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the California Coastal Commission.
We, along, with Surfrider Foundation, had secured the services of Huffman & Associates only after repeated failed pleadings with the city in early '98 that the city should conduct a delineation in order to comply with several state and federal laws. We're happy to now let the city take the lead in this important process.
Yes, there were attempts to paint Wetlands Action Network as "controversial" by development supporters – including distribution of a 56-page "report" by Barbara Cameron that included mostly skewed information and one-sided news clippings supplied by developers at Playa Vista, where DreamWorks SKG has joined Wall Street heavies Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs in proposing to build the largest development in the history of Los Angeles in the remnant Ballona floodplain. Wetlands Action Network supports a scientifically-sound wetlands restoration at Ballona, not one driven by the ill-conceived Playa Vista development.
Incorrect charges leveled by Malibu Bay Co. supporters against Wetlands Action Network at council hearings also appeared to come straight from the Playa Vista developers. So, why are Playa Vista developers seemingly eager to support efforts to construct what could be the largest development in the history of Malibu — also in a wetlands floodplain?
Perhaps there is a public relations plan to make the Malibu Civic Center Development and Playa Vista "sister projects." Perhaps the residences of S K & G in Malibu is a factor, and Wall Street moguls are trying to make certain their new DreamWorks partners know they are doing all they can to quash the efforts of Wetlands Action Network, whose lawsuits have been successful at stalling construction at the site for nearly three years since DreamWorks first announced their intention to build at Ballona Wetlands.
Imagine our surprise when, on the day of the council decision to hire Dr. Huffman, we learned that Malibu City Councilman Harry Barovsky is a senior vice-president for Morgan Stanley — one of the Playa Vista development parnters. Could this coincidence also be a factor in efforts to discredit Wetlands Action Network? I hope not. However, one important thing I have learned, when attempting to insure equity on behalf of the public when taking on the behemoths of influence and power, it never hurts to shine a little light on the subject matter.

The Experiential Library: Transforming Academic and Research Libraries through the Power of Experiential Learning features contributions―in a relatively conversational, practical, and "how-to" format―from various academic libraries across broad educational levels that have implemented experiential learning programs, services, or resources to enhance the learning and development of both students and library employees. As academic libraries and academic librarians are seeking ways to transform themselves and create collaborative synergies within and without their institutions, this timely book suggests exciting ways to integrate experiential learning into the library's offerings.
Ranging from integrated service learning and Information Literacy instruction that "takes the class out of the classroom," to unique experiential approaches to programming like Course Exhibits and the Human Library, the book is a one-stop-shop for libraries looking to expand their repertoire. It will also help them create connections between experiential learning and their institutions' missions and contributions to student success, by grounding these programs and services on a sure methodological footing. Librarians and educators wishing to learn more about the connections between experiential learning/experiential education and academic libraries would benefit from the advice from authors in this book.

DNA pioneer stripped of honors over racist comments
James Watson, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who co-discovered DNA, has been stripped of his honorary titles after repeating racist comments in a documentary.
Updated: Jan 14, 2019 11:30 AM
A Nobel Prize-winning American scientist who co-discovered DNA has been stripped of his honorary titles at the laboratory he once led after repeating racist comments in a documentary.
James Watson, who discovered the double-helix structure of DNA alongside Francis Crick in the 1950s based on the work of British chemist Rosalind Franklin, said in a PBS film that genes cause a difference in intelligence between white and black people in IQ tests.
The 90-year-old's comments were labeled "reprehensible" by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) on New York's Long Island, where Watson had been the director from 1968 to 1993.
The laboratory said it "unequivocally rejects the unsubstantiated and reckless personal opinions Dr. James D. Watson expressed," noting the statements were "reprehensible [and] unsupported by science."
"The Laboratory condemns the misuse of science to justify prejudice," its statement added.
CNN has attempted to reach Watson for comment.
Watson had previously told Britain's Sunday Times newspaper in 2007 that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says not really."
The scientist added that while he hoped everyone was equal, "people who have to deal with black employees find this is not true."
Those comments led CSHL to relieve him of his administrative duties, but he retained his honorary titles until now.
While Watson apologized for the comments in 2007, he said in the PBS documentary "American Masters: Decoding Watson," which aired on 2 January, that his views had not changed.
The remarks are the latest in a series of racist and homophobic statements that have tainted Watson's career.
In 1997, Britain's Sunday Telegraph quoted him as saying that women should be allowed to abort a child for any reason, such as if a gene for homosexuality were found in the fetus.
During a lecture tour in 2000, he suggested there might be links between a person's weight and their level of ambition and between skin color and sexual prowess.
"That's why you have Latin lovers," he said, according to The Associated Press, which cited people who attended the lecture. "You've never heard of an English lover. Only an English patient."
And in a British TV documentary that aired in 2003, Watson suggested stupidity was a genetic disease that should be treated.

A Sagra is a rural festival held outdoors with live folk music, traditional dancing, local delicacies and games. During the summer months Sardegna/Sardinia is full of Sagre, from the north to the south music rings out and people cheer and eat. Each town will hold a Sagra each week in the summer months. Streets fill with vendors selling locally handmade goods, there are animals, rides, prizes, food and wine, even Nutella…oh yes. Even a Nutella vendor. Seriously.
SAGRE are NOT to be missed if you are planning a vacation in Sardegna.
