Black Bayou Brass, resident faculty brass ensemble in the School of Visual and Performing Arts, will perform a recital on March 24th at 7:30 p.m. in the Emy-Lou Biedenharn Recital Hall at ULM. Their program will feature a variety of new works, including several collaborations and a world premiere.
Ensemble members are Dr. Aaron Witek, Emy-Lou Biedenharn Endowed Chair in Music, Dr. James Boldin, Associate Professor of Music, and Dr. James Layfield, Assistant Professor of Music.
The trio will be joined by Deborah McClung-Guillory, Associate Professor of Piano, for two works: Bandera, by Kerry Turner, and Heart of the Andes, by Daniel Baldwin. "The brass trio is a somewhat limited medium," says Boldin, "but the addition of a piano opens up a whole new realm of harmonies and textures."
They will also collaborate with Jay Curtis, General Manager of KEDM Public Radio, in a performance of Abe Lincoln's Song Book, by Douglas Hill. Composed for brass trio with narration, the work presents several of Abraham Lincoln's favorite melodies and songs, along with historical and biographical information.
The program will conclude with the World Premiere of Sketchbook for Brass Trio, by Roger Jones. According to the composer, "Each movement is named with a sketch concept…Players are encouraged, if desired, to find one or more sketches to display for each movement before or during the performance." A slideshow of various paintings, images, and other artworks will accompany this performance. "We're excited and honored to perform the World Premiere of this substantial new work," says Boldin.
The concert is free and open to the public.

James Hinchcliffe says he learns something every time he gets to get behind the wheel of his Verizon IndyCar Series car.
Because of that, he's been relishing his role as one of the two drivers tabbed by Honda to conduct manufacturer aero kit testing for the car that will debut in the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season.
Thursday's test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was Hinchcliffe's latest learning opportunity and the first test of the new car at Indianapolis since it made its public debut there in July.
Hinchcliffe along with Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing were meant to spend a full day of testing on the famed 2.5-mile oval. But cool morning temperatures kept the pair off of the track until just after noon. Still the drivers were able to run productive laps until 6 p.m, with each logging more than 130 laps for the day, according to information provided by Honda.
While most of day was spent running individually, the drivers ran a little in tandem to simulate running in traffic.
"Scott and I got to run nose-to-tail a little bit, not a ton, and there's work to do there, but first impressions are really good," Hinchcliffe said.
"One of the big things we're finding with this car is the rate which it is able to close up on the car in front is much faster. I know we have a ton of passing the racing has been great with the old kit and, but that's because he had the cars so good that we could drive into a corner half a car length off the car in front.

Eat the Document is a documentary of Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of parts of Europe with the Hawks. The cover photo was taken on the train line between Dublin and Belfast, near Balbriggan. It was shot under Dylan's direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary Dont Look Back chronicled Dylan's 1965 British tour.  The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series ABC Stage 67.

Though shooting had completed for the film, Dylan's July 1966 motorcycle accident delayed the editing process. Once well enough to work again, Dylan edited the film himself. ABC rejected the film as incomprehensible for a mainstream audience.

It has never been released on home video and prints are rarely screened in theaters. Some footage filmed for Eat the Document was used in Martin Scorsese's 2005 documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home, and 3 song excerpts are special features on the DVD.

Content
Venues shown in Eat the Document include Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Paris. Dylan's band during these shows were The Hawks (later to become The Band). Songs from various shows throughout the tour featured in the film include "Tell Me, Momma", "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)", "Ballad of a Thin Man", and "One Too Many Mornings".

Other scenes include Dylan and Robbie Robertson in a Glasgow hotel room writing and working through new songs, most of which remain unreleased and unpublished. Among these songs are "I Can't Leave Her Behind", which was later covered by Stephen Malkmus for the I'm Not There soundtrack. The film also includes a piano duet, backstage in Cardiff, with Johnny Cash performing Cash's "I Still Miss Someone".

Background and post-production
According to Howard Sounes's biography, Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan, after his motorbike accident in July 1966, Dylan viewed a cut of the material edited by Pennebaker and Bob Neuwirth and thought it was too similar to Dont Look Back.

Despite having no filmmaking training, Dylan decided to re-edit the film himself, assisted by longtime associate Howard Alk and with (uncredited) assistant editor Gordon Quinn, co-founder of Kartemquin Films. Pennebaker stated: "It's not something you learn parking cars in a garage. You gotta know some of the rules and he didn't know any of the rules." Dylan and Alk's cut was eventually shown to ABC television, who promptly rejected it as incomprehensible to a mainstream audience.

Commenting on the film when it was screened at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, in December 1972,  New York Times critic Vincent Canby quotes from the program notes written by Howard Alk, describing the reaction of ABC Television as "What city are we in? What's happening?" According to Canby, Alk explains:
"Instead of trying to re-create the 'real' event with a vérité documentary approach, the editors looked for what each shot itself wanted to be. Conversations unheld, events untranspired. Some real music, some not. Murder, villainy, slavery and lust. We hope a real movie. Perhaps even a comedy."

Bootleg releases
Eat the Document was never given a theatrical release or made commercially available on VHS or DVD, but unauthorized bootleg copies circulate among Dylan collectors.

John Lennon scene
Some bootleg versions of Eat the Document include a longer scene featuring Dylan in a limousine with John Lennon in the early hours of 27 May 1966.  As Dylan shows signs of fatigue, and may be impaired by alcohol or drugs, Lennon urges him to get a grip on himself: "Do you suffer from sore eyes, groovy forehead, or curly hair? Take Zimdon!...Come, come, boy, it's only a film. Pull yourself together."

Lennon would later recall in an interview with Rolling Stone that he and Dylan were "both in shades, and both on fucking junk, and all these freaks around us... I was nervous as shit. I was on his territory, that's why I was so nervous."

Legacy
Some of the concert footage shot for Eat the Document - including the "Judas" incident in Manchester's Free Trade Hall - was used in Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary, No Direction Home , along with footage of Johnny Cash and Dylan singing Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry".

Todd Haynes' film 2008 I'm Not There features a reference to the car ride with Lennon, featuring Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan.

Flashed Feb 4th and Feb 5th snapshots. Tried both squashfs and jffs2. Used backup loader after a 60/60/60 reset. After reboot, LAN leds are off, power/WAN leds are off, and WPS led blinks. WPS led Blinking stops after a few minutes and remains on. Router is completely unresponsive and can only be recovered with a new flash via backup loader. Router flashes correctly back to stock or ddwrt.
As per conversation here: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=42058 , Feb 1st snapshot was working OK. Issue must have been introduced in last few days.
config_sorted.txt (11.1 KB) - added by apc 5 years ago.
Checked out source for Barrier Breaker r35412 and rebuilt. Flashed. Same issue. Router seems to start OK (and backup loader is thankfully reachable) but after what seems to be HW init, all leds OFF but for D-Link led and flashing WPS led. GPIO issue? Kernel panic?
Feb 1st was not working for you but for a dir-835a1, so its not said that the newer builds are the reason.
At least you have to flash the -sysupgrade image from dd-wrt, not the -factory one.
Funny if it really works only for the 835a1 and not for the 825c1 (for which I did it, but knowing that the images for both will be the same (because even the firmware id tag is the same on both models)).
Not thinking that its the reason, but as the other user seems to have updated from dd-wrt I propably better tell that I appended the identification tag and not filled the last bytes of the factory image with it, like the original firmware does (strangely and in contrast to firmwares for other models).
So you can try to flash -sysupgrade from dd-wrt and/or move the last 26 bytes (26bytes) inwards so that the file has 16318464 bytes afterwards.
Completely agree. That is what I find baffling to the point of it being annoying. Does these images work on a DIR-835-A1 but not on a DIR-825-C1? I have a 835, but it is working fine w/ddwrt as is and I don't want to start tinkering with it as well.
I have tried both the -sysupgrade and the -factory bin's. Same behaviour. ddwrt UI doesn't seem to do much (reboot is rather quick).
This almost bricked the router. It took several 30/30/30 resets to get the backup loader again.
Not sure I understand what you mean about this (the editing). Do you mean taking the firmware id and moving it after the 0xDEADCODE marker (this trimming the file by 26 bytes)? Or just removing the tag altogether?
By this I mean: router completely unresponsive to pings to either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (from 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.0.2, respectively). D-Link LED on. Power LED blinking. WPS led off.
I gave it half an hour in such state to no avail, so it doesn't seem to be something temporary.
I would really like to hear from another DIR-825-C1 owner. Everything I have read points to 825c1 and 835c1 being the same thing (plus black paint and an extra antenna), but somehow my 825 severely dislikes these images. Hopefully it's not just this one.
Think you mean mtd -r write openwrt-ar71xx-generic-dir-825-c1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin linux ?
I additionally used mtd -e linux -r write openwrt-... some time ago but I think that should not matter.
The factory and original images have 00DB120AR9344-RT-101214-00 at the end. In the original fw of this 2 models its not appended like for firmwares of other models from them.
Just because you wrote only of dd-wrt to openwrt and not from factory to openwrt. And I also don't know how it would behave on this model with the more logic appending style.
Creating 7 MTD partitions on ???
Yes, sorry. Dyslexia runs in the family. It practically gallops. That was it. I didn't try the erase flag.
I removed the tag & flashed again. Same issue. Tried both the -factory (without the tag) and the -sysupgrade (as is). ddwrt UI applies them (both), reboot (rather quickly), and boot back into ddwrt. mtd takes its time, eventually reboots, and the router is dead.
I am only guessing, but it seems that it boots directly into backup loader, but takes about 1h (or several 30/30/30 resets) to become responsive at 192.168.0.1. It always comes back OK after reflashing ddwrt or stock. Seems like it is busy with something and needs to finish whatever that is before the IP stack responds to a ping.
More interesting, when it does boot back into ddwrt, all settings from before flash are active. The flash process is not touching nvram (maybe that was obvious to you but I just thought that through).
If I flash directly from backup loader (with -factory bin) it just jams with the WPS led on.
So linux area (rootfs+ddwrt) is 16,449,536 bytes in size, no? That should be enough for openwrt-ar71xx-generic-dir-825-c1-squashfs-factory.bin (size 16,318,490) to fit in. Not sure why it is split in three.
Now, kernel command line has root=1f02... does that make sense? ddwrt works, so I guess it's OK.
Thank you for the mtd partition info.
Like i thought, the same as I found with dir-835 on dd-wrt.
So dd-wrt overwrites part of the lang partition and also stores an own nvram partition at the end of that space.
So thats the reason why dd-wrt's settings do not get overwritten by openwrt.
I've meant flashing the -factory image from original firmware (if needed propably with the tag moved by its length (26bytes) to achieve original firmware size, if they really don't cut the tag anymore as on their other models). But I believe you will get the same result as with mtd :-/.
dd-wrt had support for dir-825-c1, someone found out dir-835-a1 is the same and it worked.
I thought so lets add dir-825-c1 to openwrt. Did that, and we got response it works on dir-835-a1 (like I thought it will).
But the second response is from you, who have real problems on dir-825-c1.
So response from tcrisall (i.e. how he migrated to openwrt) or anyone who has tried it on dir-825-c1 would be highly appreciated!
And hopefully someone else can look into this.
Seems like a serial connection to the board is needed too see where the problem occurs on boot time. Propably you're someone who likes to do this?
Let me give that a try at night. I'll trim the -factory bin to exact same size as as stock version and try with/without the firmware tag, flashing via backup loader. At least now I'm confident this messes up the router but doesn't brick it (fingers crossed).
Yes, and I can confirm that ddwrt works well for both.
Hopefully I am not an isolated case. Both units seem very similar, but after opening both they're not identical. LEDs for sure are not; maybe they're just not soldered in but I think it goes deeper than that. That might explain the blinking WPS led which I had never seen before. I really think GPIOs might not be the same, and/or there is additional code in ddwrt to "guess" some parameters such as MAC addresses. Maybe the ath9k driver is crashing on the different radio chip. No clue; I'm too new at this.
eBay. :) A guy was selling 825-B1s at an interesting price. Bought one, liked it, and asked for a second one. The one that came in next surprised me by being a C1. I am very interested in OpenWRT for the C1 as it has twice the RAM vs the B1. I use it more like a server than a router (the 835 is my main WiFi router).
Seems like a serial connection to the board is needed too see where the problem occurs on boot time. Probably you're someone who likes to do this?
Would that get us a boot log like what is available for 835 here?
I'm game. Any pointers of what I need to look at on board to get serial enabled and connected? How do I get started?
I've meant from the web gui of stock firmware.
You don't have to test it without the tag there.
First I would test it with -factory.bin as it is. If it does not work you can trim it by the tag size (than its stock versions size) and overwrite the end with the tag (than its like the stock version of this particular models..)).
Wonder that leds are not the same. Thanks for the info!
So if they use different GPIO's thats very interesting. Because I didn't saw anything in dd-wrt about that. Propably I should look it up again.
I wanted the status led to be d-link:orange:power. And I didn't know which gpio wps led had (dd-wrt didn't knew it either).
As nobody checked my conversion (for which I asked, because I've never done it) there might be a failure, even they were from dir-825-c1 code.. .
What I can do is to compile an Image without any gpio. Would be a great step if that works.
After that we can activate wlan leds and see if they are the reason, or the buttons, or usb (leds) (,or the rest).
Yea the B1 is with the fastest old cpu and two ar9280 (so first gen atheros n chips) while the c1 has one of their latest cpus with integrated 2.4GHz n (so the extra chip is only for 5GHz).
Yes, we will get a boot log then, so this would be a great hint where it hangs.
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-825 describes the pin layout (without stating for which revision) (and remembers to use a 12V<->3.3V converter). But unfortunately does not show where they are on the board. But propably you'll find them. Look up pages of other hardware too see how this is implemented.
-factory as is: stock UI will not flash.
-factory trimmed by 26 bytes (with ID at end): UI will flash, router crashes with flashing WPS led.
Yes. The 825 C1 has all the leds the 825 B1 has. The 835 has only two. Most important, the shared ones not in the same spot (that is, power on 825 C1 is all the way to the left, while power on 835 A1 is somewhat in the middle). So either different wiring at PCB layer, or different GPIOs for sure.
I may be wrong. You definitely know more about this that I do. I can code, but openwrt and especially ddwrt source code is too obfuscated for me.
I think something is causing a kernel panic. I don't thing GPIOs would be enough for that. I'll gladly test any images you want to send my way, but I'm loath to set you on a futile task.
Found the serial header. It is a no-brainer, you can see it on the picture on the site (http://wiki.openwrt.org/_detail/toh/d-link/dir825-c1-board.jpg?id=toh%3Ad-link%3Adir-825 - roughly in the middle).
I need an adapter. Just ordered a CP2102, but it will take a few days (weeks?) to get here. In the meantime I will solder a four pin header on the board. Once I get everything ready I will post a comment here.
Thank you for testing that!
And very funny that they now really implemented it that (in my opinion bad) way.
So I will fix the image generation some time.
There were a few things I was unsure about. By removing all except necessary stuff I will know if its some of this.
Also I'm using r35412 for that, just in case ;-).
Just asking myself how to provide you with the currently compiling test images.
Ah, yeah, how could I have overseen that.
I have never used it before, but it allows you to register without gimmicks (no credit cards or such), has some storage space, can be accessed via browser (no funny binaries to download or install, only some flash to deal with) and can provide you with a direct download URL.
If you have any better ideas, I'm all ears.
Does not seem bad, except that you have to cancel the trial before it expires.
Either I do that and cancel trial right after submitting, or which I would prefer - I get your mail address and use a similar service which sends you the links after I uploaded the files (they are ready in 1 too 2 hours).
On these series another approach was used by the manufacturer to store mac adresses, but I want to see if there are ones too.
(Cause dd-wrt still has code to add an interface with an mac stored there (like on the reference design). But I think that remained just as an accident or because it does not matter.).
More correctly I don't need the backup, just the first 12 bytes, because thats where the mac adresses would be.
Or you just look at them yourself and tell me if that are mac adresses and if dd-wrt has an Interface with one of them (would be the second one incremented by 5) or not.
Checked it... that one is free. No expiry. No charges.
Router is being stubborn after last flash (nothing out of the ordinary) so I'll reflash ddwrt at night and send you details about the ART.
There are two MAC address at the beginning of the ART partition. They look nothing like the MAC address located on the sticker on the bottom of the unit nor what ddwrt reports. Not even close.
The RedBoot or fullboot dumps (mtd0 and mtd7, they are identical, expected) are 128K in length. The first 64K have the UBoot code (looks code-ish enough to me, anyways, I don't read MIPS). The second 64K though has a series of 0x3D 0x00 terminated strings. Exactly at the 64K mark (offset 0x0x10000) there is what looks like a marker: HSLF. After that it's mostly readable text.
I've attached a "config_labels.txt" file. It contains all the names found in the file for your reference.
I cannot telnet to my 835 from here to see if it has the same setup but will check at night. I am guessing that in the 835 the CALDATA partition has valid MAC addresses, but the 825 does not.
I'll check at night if indeed that is a valid MAC or if ddwrt is just pulling MAC addresses out of its hat, which would help explain why some routers work with that and not with OpenWrt.
Offset 0x4 and 0x18 is where I think you'll find "mac adresses"?
Special dir-825 thing that there are ones. Both openwrt and dd-wrt are using them.
Propably the adresses are used by stock Firmware.
Yes. You are right. Both on 825 and 835 the correct addresses are there.
Offset 0x00 has either "A1" or "C1" (for 835 & 825 respectively). Offset 0x2c has the string "0x14" for both. Everything else in that range is zero.
Not sure what you mean about these two... everything else in the 0x000000fe0000-0x000000ff0000 range is zero.
Thank you for the test files. I will give them a try during the weekend.
Yeah my mistake. These are the offsets in the art partition for caldata.
Hmmm... not sure if it is relevant, but although there are MAC addresses in binary at those offsets, they are the "wrong" MAC addresses that do not correspond to what is on the label and but do match what is found at the beginning of the art partition.
Seems like for this model a new standard was set to store the MAC addresses at 0xfe0004 & 0x18, but no one bothered to clear old MAC data from the caldata. The MAC addresses there are of the form 00:18:e7 (usually for DIR 825-B1) while valid ones are b8:a3:86 (DIR 825-C1).
Probably not relevant to why this thing is crashing, but misleading enough.
As already stated in the forum the switch config was wrong (WAN acts as LAN port..).
The correct one will find its way into trunk soon.
DIR-835-A1 seems to work well for me with r35608 (upgraded from OEM) except a couple minor issues (LED config, system name, txpower). I filed separate tickets for those. OpenWrt Wiki & TOH updated to reflect support.
MAC addresses seem correct to me and match the bottom of the router. I did notice that WAN/LAN/WL0 all have the same MAC address though, which I think was the same as OEM firmware. WL1 is the same MAC incremented by 1 on the last digit.
By the way, do the wlan leds (2.4GHz and 5.GHz) work on dir-825-c1?
Always booted but switch config was "swaped".
Already fixed, so ticket can be closed!


It's no secret that the are several world-famous Water Parks in Thailand and for a very good reason too. Thailand's weather as you probably know can get extremely hot and what better way to cool off from the heat than to spend the best part of your day splashing about in wave pools, or as an adrenaline junkie in one of the high-speed water slides. Or you can simply relax in the sun.
The water parks in Thailand are geared up for all ages making this an ideal getaway for the whole family. Some of the better-known water parks can be found in Pattaya, one and a half hour drive from Bangkok.
Ramayana Water Park is one of the biggest water parks in South East Asia. It's located in Sattahip just fifteen kilometres south of Pattaya. What makes Ramayana such an amazing water park is that they have an awesome amount of water slides here. In fact, there are more than twenty of them to check out here.
You'd have to come back here several times if you want to go through all the ones that grab your attention. They range from the most exhilarating slides for adults and grown-up kids to the more gentle swings for the little ones. Apart from the twenty-odd slides here, there is a massive double wave poo and lots of other smaller pools for either relaxation or other water related activities. All the water here is crystal clear and comes from the park's own wells.
Or how about the meandering river that reveals some mystical caves, geysers and big bubbles. And because Ramayana is built on a long forgotten and ancient city, there is much to explore from bygone buildings to spectacular waterfalls. There is something for everyone. Ramayana is open daily from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm.
And while you are here and have a little extra time, why not visit Thailand's biggest floating market to experience an ambience that encompasses nature at its best with lakes, rivers and green hills.
To give you an idea of just how many water facilities there are, I have listed a few of the major water parks in Thailand. In Bangkok, you'll find Fantasia Lagoon, Siam Park City and Pororo Water Park.
In Pattaya, you'll find Ramayana and Cartoon Network Amazone Water Parks. In Phuket, you'll find Anthem Wake Park and Splash Jungle Water Park. On the island of Koh Samui, you'll find Pink Elephant Water Park. In Hua Hin, you'll find Black Mountain Water Park and Vana Nava Water Jungle. In Chiang Mai, you'll find the Grand Canyon Water Park. In Phetchaburi, you'll find Santorini Park Waterventures.
In Prachuap Khiri Khun you'll find Kite Cable Thailand Water Park. In Surin, you'll find Saran Water Park and in North East Thailand you'll find Usotel Waterland and Chiang Khan Water Park.
For your convenience, I have included some of the best water park tours you can take situated in Pattaya, Phuket and Hua Hin.
If you'd like to take the hassle out of going to Ramayana Water Park on your own you can simply book a full-day pass including admission and transfers to and from your hotel in Pattaya. This way you wouldn't have to worry about driving there yourself and having to negotiate all that traffic. You can simply relax knowing that all the arrangements are taken care of. You will find all the details above.
Booking your tours from this page (at no extra cost to you) would not only give me a little pocket money, but you'd be helping me maintain this blog so that I can continue giving you more Thailand travel info.
Cartoon Network Amazone is Cartoon Network's first and only fully-branded waterpark. It's Located in Bang Saray, 15 kilometres south of Pattaya on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard. The development comprises 10 themed entertainment zones each one offering an array of exhilarating water coasters and attractions. The waterpark also features captivating live and multimedia entertainment that incorporates the latest in interactive technology thus bringing fans of Cartoon Network closer to their favourite characters than ever before.
The Black Mountain Water Park is spread out over 130,00 square feet (40,000 square meters) of land and is situated just fifteen minutes from the centre of the town Hua Hin. This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region. At Black Mountain, you'll be able to enjoy all exciting attractions that this water park has to offer including a 55-foot (17 meters) high tower with nine different slides, a spectacular wave pool as well as a lazy river, beach come infinity pool, and a children's pool. Here you'll get to experience all the fun activities for a whole day with your family and friends. You'll find all the details for the day pass on the link above.
Come and cool off from the tropical heat in Phuket at Splash Jungle Water Park. This water park is perfect for children and fun for the entire family. Here you'll find tonnes of pools and water slides for a wet and wild ride. There's plenty here to keep you entertained for the whole day. If exhilarating thrills and spills like the Boomerango and Super Bowl aren't for you, you can always opt for a leisurely float along the Lazy River. Also available is a round-trip transport to ease the transition to and from your hotel. All you have to do is check out the link above for all the details.

Is Michigan Rep. Justin Amash
Seeking a Political Exit Strategy Should He Run for President?
Michigan Rep. Justin Amash (R-Cascade Township/Grand Rapids)
June 13, 2019 — The Michigan Information & Research Service (MIRS) released an independent poll just a couple days ago from the Practical Political Consultants organization (June 5-9; 335 likely MI-3 Republican primary voters) that finds western Michigan Rep. Justin Amash (R-Cascade Township/Grand Rapids) trailing his announced 3rd Congressional District Republican primary opponent, state Rep. James Lower (R-Greenville), by a lopsided 49-33 percent count.
After Rep. Amash became the only Republican to side with the Democrats' informal impeachment caucus over whether to bring proceedings against President Trump, speculation became more rampant that the five-term Michigan congressman would seek the Libertarian nomination for president. The new poll and his action earlier in the week of resigning from the Freedom Caucus and its leadership fuels more speculation that he will jump into the presidential contest.
Many are arguing that Amash would have an effect upon the national election to the point of potentially costing President Trump victory, or at the very least, the state of Michigan, but such an outcome is far from determined.
The Libertarian presidential nomination has some value in that the party can qualify for the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It is the only political entity aside from the Republican and Democratic parties that has such an ability. Jill Stein, the 2016 and 2012 Green Party presidential nominee, appeared on the ballot in 45 and 38 states, respectively.
However, just how much of a factor are the individuals who represent the minor parties on the presidential ballot? Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson was the Libertarian nominee in both 2016 and 2012. He has already said he will not be a candidate in 2020. In 2012, his national vote total was 1.27 million. Four years later, his aggregate vote number soared to just under 4.5 million. But, was that due to Johnson himself, or is the Libertarian ballot position, regardless of the candidate's name associated with it, simply the best place for disaffected voters to cast a ballot?

BLM increasing public use restrictions due to fire danger
By Mail Tribune staff

Restrictions also going into effect on lower Rogue River
With fire danger continuing to rise, the Bureau of Land Management Medford District is increasing public use restrictions on its land in Southern Oregon.
The district will move to Stage 3 public use restrictions Wednesday, which means campfires will no longer be allowed anywhere on the district, including at Hyatt Lake campground. Visitors can use portable cooking stoves that use liquefied or bottled fuels. Campfires, charcoal fires and all other types of open fires are prohibited, officials said.
Smoking is allowed only while inside a vehicle or while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is clear of flammable vegetation.
Operating a motor vehicle, including motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, and parking off road is allowed only on roadways clear of flammable vegetation.
Using chainsaws, fireworks, exploding targets or tracer ammunition is prohibited.
Welding or operating a torch with an open flame also is prohibited.
Visitors to BLM-managed public lands are required to carry tools with them to ensure small fires can be put out quickly, including a shovel, ax and at least one gallon of water or a 2.5-pound fire extinguisher.
Violation of these restrictions can result in a fine up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.
Also starting Wednesday, BLM, the Oregon Department of Foresty and U.S. Forest Service are increasing restrictions along the Wild Section of the lower Rogue River.
The Wild Section flows from Grave Creek to the mouth of Watson Creek.
Effective Wednesday, fires are permitted only with the use of commercial stoves that use liquid fuel or propane. Charcoal fires will not be permitted.
Cooking areas need to be naturally clear of vegetation and below the high water mark. As a preventative measure, groups traveling on the river must have a shovel and bucket.
Smoking is permitted only while on watercraft on waterways, or in areas that are on vegetation-free sand and gravel bars located between the river and high water mark.
Additional fire restrictions may be put in place as fire season progresses.
"The safety of the public and all wildland fire responders is always the number one priority for all wildland fire agencies. This year, it is especially important everyone does their part to reduce human-caused wildfires," BLM said in a statement.
BLM officials said they are taking the necessary steps to ensure their ability to deploy firefighters for wildfire response.
Officials said they are committed to the most efficient wildfire-suppression operations during these challenging times.
The Western United States is in the most expansive and intense drought this century, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, and the drought continues to intensify in parts of the Pacific Northwest, including Southern Oregon.
Jackson and Josephine counties experienced the driest April and May on record. The data go back 111 years.

For this quest you'll need to gain the favor of at least one of the gods. This will require you to travel to Teir Evron, aka the Hall of Stars, which is located in Elm's Reach (Exit A). Inside the hall, you'll find a Luminescent Adra Shard on an altar (#1). When you place the shard on the pedestal in the center of the room (#2), the hall will light up, and several shrines will become interactive. Clicking on the shrines will allow you to communicate with the gods.
To gain the favor of the gods, you'll have to catch their attention (by saying their ritual words or fighting their guardians), and you'll have to complete a quest for them. After that, they'll tell you what they'd like to see happen with the souls Thaos has captured, and they'll offer you a boon. You'll be able to complete all of the quests of the gods, but you'll only be able to accept one of their boons, so choose carefully. The god information is summarized in the table below.
After gaining the favor of one of the gods, you'll need to make your way to Breith Eaman. You can reach it by traveling to Oldsong, then taking the boat to Burial Isle, and then jumping into the pit in the northern part of the island. When you arrive in Breith Eaman, the quest (and Act III) will come to an end.

Golden Week is the name given to two separate holidays or festivals in China. The first occurs at the beginning of the year and is more commonly referred to as Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, while the other coincides with the National Day of the People's Republic of China on 1st October.
National Day honours Mao Zedong's 1949 declaration of independence. The day is celebrated throughout China, Hong Kong and Macau, and it marks the start of Golden Week and the seven day national holiday.
National Day celebrations begin with the raising of the Chinese National flag in the capital city of Beijing, before the country's military take to the streets for a series of large parades and festivals. Many people take the often long trip to Beijing's Tiananmen Square to watch the festivities and take in the atmosphere, and cities are often decorated with red lanterns symbolising happiness and fortune. The day concludes with fireworks displays across each of the major cities of China, including Hong Kong and Macau.
While Golden Week is relatively new – it was implemented only 15 years ago – the numbers of people who choose to travel during this time, either to return to their rural homes in China or to travel abroad, has increased dramatically.
During the first Golden Week, 28 million Chinese travelled either domestically or internationally. However, this year it is expected that over 610 million will travel, with many choosing to visit Europe and the United States.
In 2014, approximately 200,000 Chinese tourists travelled to London, the shopping capital of the UK, during Golden Week. And that number is set to rise, with figures estimating that 18% more Chinese tourists will decide to travel abroad this year.
Hakkasan restaurants around the world are celebrating Golden Week by introducing a limited edition signature menu that is traditionally and authentically Chinese, alongside a cocktail, golden macarons and dark chocolate desserts. The menus differ from restaurant to restaurant, ranging from the exclusive Supreme dim sum platter to a full Golden Week a la carte menu.

Welcome to Horley Children's Centre!
As you may know there will be changes this year to children's centres and how Surrey County Council supports families.
The new approach will involve Surrey County Council focusing its resources on helping the families most in need of support, which means that some of the existing children's centres will close and others will become Family Centres. Surrey County Council will no longer provide universal services for all families at Family Centres but other organisations, such as health visitors, may offer these at the centres and at other community venues.
You can use the Family Information Directory to find universal and other services, support groups, activities, events and more.
The changes will take place at different times across Surrey's 11 districts and boroughs, so to make sure families can find out what is happening in their area the district and borough pages on the Family Information Service website will be regularly updated from April. They will provide information about when current activities offered at children's centres will close and where Family Centres will open.
In addition there is a new page on the website which provides information about the final proposals that were agreed by Surrey County Council's Cabinet. This also has a link to the results of the consultation that was undertaken to get views and suggestions on the draft proposals.
Children Centre Team
With queries and comments please contact: proposals@surreycc.gov.uk
The Horley Sure Start Children's Centre is situated in the grounds of Meath Green Infant School and was opened in 2008. It is funded by the Local Authority, Surrey County Council and is a not for profit organisation.
Sure Start Children's Centres have been set up to improve outcomes for young children and their families and reduce inequalities between families in the greatest need and their peers by way of child development and school readiness, parenting aspirations and skills, and child and family health and life chances.
Our Centre provides a wide range of services, activities, information and advice for families, parents and carers of children who are aged 0-11. Priority for some activities is given to families living within the Horley West and Central reach area. We also use some community venues in Horley such as Horley Baptist Church and The Young People's Centre.
Programme leaflets are available in the Centre and also available to download to the right of this page by simply clicking on the download link.

What is pressure intensification in hydraulic cylinders - Practical Hydraulics (Hidraulica Practica) - Find Information on Components, Manufacturers, Applications, Articles, Videos, Calculators, Formulas. Fluid Power at hand.
by the relief valve; well? sometimes is not. If there are lines that are not connected to the relief valve in certain moments, they are not protected.
We are going to talk this time about the intensification of the pressure in hydraulic cylinders when the flow is controlled, meter-out.
The rod of the hydraulic cylinder is extending at a speed controlled by the meter-out flow control. In the graphic, the flow is coming from the pump to the back of the cylinder and the reading in the pressure gauge is the pressure relief valve setting. The flow control that is reducing the flow that exits the rod side of the cylinder creating a back pressure that is higher than the relief valve setting.
Pout= Outlet pressure before the flow control.
Knowing that Ar is always smaller than A, then Pout is always going to be higher than pin. Now, the question is how much higher?
It is inversely proportional to A/Ar or in other words, the bigger the rod against the piston, the higher the pressure intensification.
A cylinder has: 4" piston diameter, 3" rod.
If Pin = 2,000 psi, then Pout = 2000 x 12.56/5.5 = 4,567 psi a lot higher than 2,000 psi.
In the following video, the relief valve pressure setting is 85 psi. The intensified pressure goes up to 125 psi.
If the load is not neglected, then it lowers the intensification effect.
Whenever you have meter-out flow meters and low loads, you can expect pressure intensification.

Willie Howard Mays Jr. (born May 6, 1931), nicknamed "the Say Hey Kid"[a] and "Buck", is a former center fielder in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played in the National League (NL) between 1951 and 1973, almost entirely for the New York/San Francisco Giants. Mays joined the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro American League in 1948, playing with them until the Giants signed him once he graduated from high school in 1950, then won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1951 after hitting 20 home runs to help the Giants win their first pennant in 13 years. After spending most of the next two years in the United States Army during the Korean War, he was named the NL Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 1954 after winning the batting title with a .345 average and hitting 41 home runs. His over-the-shoulder catch of a Vic Wertz fly ball in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series is one of the most famous baseball plays of all time. The Giants swept the heavily favored Cleveland Indians for the lone World Series triumph of his career, and the team's last title before relocating to San Francisco after the 1957 season.
A 24-time All-Star, tying him for the second most in history, Mays became a perennial MVP candidate, finishing in the top six in the voting in eleven of the next twelve seasons. He led the NL in home runs four times and in slugging percentage five times while batting over .300 and posting 100 runs batted in (RBI) ten times each. In 1955 he made a run at the Triple Crown, leading the league with 51 home runs and finishing second in batting and RBI. He was the runner-up for the MVP in 1958 after hitting a career-high .347, and again in 1962 after leading the Giants to another World Series with 49 home runs and 141 RBI. By 1963, he was making over $100,000 a year, setting a record at the time with a $105,000 contract. He was again named the MVP in 1965 after hitting .317 with a league-leading 52 home runs, becoming the second NL player to hit 50 more than once and setting a franchise record that stood until Barry Bonds hit 73 in 2001. Mays was also at the forefront of a resurgence of speed as an offensive weapon in the 1950s, leading the league in stolen bases four times, triples three times and runs twice, with his 179 steals during the decade topping the major leagues; he was the first NL player to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same season, and the first player in history to reach both 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases. He held the NL record for career home runs from 1966 until Hank Aaron passed him during the 1972 season, during which time he became the second player and the first right-handed hitter to hit 600 home runs. Mays also set standards for defensive brilliance, winning 12 consecutive Gold Glove Awards after their creation in 1957, still a record for outfielders; he led NL center fielders in double plays five times and assists three times. He ended his career with a return to New York after a mid-season trade to the New York Mets in 1972, retiring after the team's trip to the 1973 World Series. He served as a coach for the Mets for the rest of the decade, and later rejoined the Giants as a special assistant to the president and general manager.
A classic example of a 5-tool player, Mays finished his career with a batting average of .302. Upon his retirement, he held the NL record for career runs scored (2,062), and ranked second in league history behind Stan Musial in games played (2,992), third in at bats (10,881), runs batted in (1,903), total bases (6,066), extra-base hits (1,323) and walks (1,464), fourth in hits (3,283), fifth in slugging percentage (.557), and eighth in doubles (523); his 140 triples ranked fourth among players active after 1945. He holds major league records for games as a center fielder (2,829), putouts as an outfielder (7,095) and extra-inning home runs (22), and ended his career behind only Ty Cobb in total games as an outfielder (2,842) and ranking seventh in assists (188) and third in double plays (59) in center field. Regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979 in his first year of eligibility. He was named to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999 and ranked second on The Sporting News's "List of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players", behind only Babe Ruth. President Barack Obama presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015.

Naveed Anjum is a Pro Israel Muslim, founder of the Face Book pages: Legitimacy of the Zionist State(Page) and two big Groups Legitimacy of the Jewish State (Secret Group) and Israel the Legitimate State (Closed Group).
Struggle:
Naveed has been working for intercultural coordination between Muslims and Jewish people for over 7 years. He started this when he went to the Netherlands in 2005 for academic studies. It was there that he met Jewish people. He also met many newly converted Muslims in the Netherlands who were recently converted from Christians to Muslims. Since that time, his views about Jewish have changed.
While he was in the Netherlands, he interviewed and asked some of those who had converted to Islam why they had chosen Islam rather than Judaism, Buddhism or Hinduism, etc. Most of them declared their reason for leaving Christianity was that their minds could not accept the "Son of the God" doctrine. According to them, Christians believe in Jesus being the son of God and the Jews call Ezra the son of the God. Since, at that time, he had not researched the Jewish religion, he did not respond.
Due to severe problems back home with his family, it was necessary that he leave the Netherlands and return home. After he returned, he began research on Judaism. He learned there is no concept of the Son of God in Judaism. Jewish people are perfect monotheists, even more so than Muslims. This was the first point disclosed to him regarding Jewish beliefs. He researched further and discovered that everything told by his Media about rabbis and scholars of the Jewish religion is very wrong.
During his research, he discovered that the Quran declares the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people. In addition, as he researched the Jewish tribes in Medina, even more was revealed to him.
He wanted to make his research fruitful, so he started to reach out to people here. He shared the facts he had learned and holy scriptures he had found about Jewish people and Judaism. Then, he wanted to write a book; so he contacted many publishers in America and Britain about publishing his book. However, he did not have the financial resources to pay for their publishing services. So, in 2009, he chose an area within my country that contains a poor and primitive city, and began educating the people through handbills and pamphlets.
Persecution and Harassment
Unfortunately for him, in spite of their understanding the truths he shared, the people in that area physically tortured him and made complaints about him to the local authorities. Thus, he has been persecuted and harassed in various ways:
The local authorities (of a Town Union Council) warned him to not preach about the legitimacy of the Jewish state, otherwise they would take legal action against him! He still have that initial and incomplete medical report with me, that is the transparent proof of the threats made by the Medical Legal Officer. Because of the severe beatings he received, he ran away from that government "hospital" that treated him.
Later, in April 2010, he was appointed as a school teacher in a well-known school chain. In the free classes, he began teaching students about the legitimacy of the Jewish state . When the school's management found out what he was doing, they terminated him, immediately, without giving him any notice. (he still has the termination letter). Besides that termination, other organizations terminated him when they found out about his views of Jewish people. He was no longer allowed to work, there, because organizations' management have heard about his views regarding Jews and Israel.
During all of these activities, many people have come to know about him. Once some extremists in his area attacked him. He desperately ran to a private hospital for urgent care and was treated. (He still has the Medical and X-Ray Reports.)
After the above persecution, a number of people created a Facebook page to mock him, harass him, and make fun of him. That was in 2013. There were many threats made against him on that web page and in the section, "Posted by others," that was published on November 12th, 2013. Their messages were in the local language (of the country where he belonged).
His pictures had been shared in different Facebook Groups declaring him an apostate, a spy for Israel, and calling for my death. He's been exposed so much through such false propaganda that he could no longer go outside or be seen by the general public in his city. He feared for his life all the time.
Social Media Progress and FaceBook
After April 2013:
After he went through physical attacks in the area where he lived, he decided to be safe. He gave up all outside activities, had stayed inside his house, and began devoting most of his time to educate himself about "Israeli Legitimacy" through more intensive research and studies. Through his Facebook pages, he discovered that social media could be and was a more effective tool to learn and spread knowledge. He provided as much truth as he could via posting and sharing on his personal Facebook timeline, Naveed Anjum (Nomi).Later on, he recorded a homemade video speech in which he shared what he had learned through the Quran and Islamic traditions about the rightful existence of Israel in the Middle East. He uploaded that free video onto YouTube: Israel Exists Rightfully. he have distributed that video link on different Facebook pages and Twitter Tweets as well as to Palestinians. His Twitter account is: Naveed Anjum @nomi76us
FaceBook Pages and Groups
Naveeed created the Facebook page, Legitimacy of the Zionist State, and got a tremendous response from Israeli and American people. He has received over 30,000 friends and followers on his profile, pages and groups within a short span of time. On his pages and Groups, he explained the legitimacy of the Jewish state from every aspect, be it Islamic, historical or archeological. He tried to convince Muslims and other anti-Semitic elements to recognize the real truth and facts.
Government and Radicals
The most dangerous threat to and for him was that of his country's Government, where he lived. They would learn of his favoring Israel through his increased popularity as well as through his Facebook pages and groups. Favoring Israel is considered a crime worthy of a death-sentence there.
This country is one of the most anti-non-Muslim countries in the world! So, you can understand how serious his situation was, living in that country from one day to the next. He was hoping that, soon, he would be able to leave that country and move to a nation where he would not have to live under the constant threats and fear of being killed because of his work regarding the legitimacy of the Jewish state, Israel.
Changing Location Where he Lived For Life and Safety
Because of the circumstances created by sharing his video on YouTube, he received Death Threats and experienced MANY threats to his security, even very recently.
He also received murder threats sent to him in e-mails. The worst abuses and harassment on his Facebook page have come increasingly from extremist types of people! Written threats were also sent to his home address through postal mails and by couriers. His neighbors also became his envy. At times, he was not able to sleep in his own home and have had to flee to various friends' and relatives' homes for the safety of his life!
-Naveed's Urgent Appeal For Help And Protection!-
Naveed Anjum wanted to do more for the Zionist cause. However, he could not work from the Muslims country in which he lived. It was just too dangerous for him, his family and his own personal safety. His life was in peril and living there had become extremely dangerous for him. Even if he should have left this cause, the people where he lived would have identified him! His pictures had been shared in different radical Facebook groups calling for his death. He had been identified and reported by a number of people with much false information about him being an enemy of Islam and marking him for death. These reports were false.
Nonetheless, he wanted to continue working for this cause. Thus, he needed his friend and followers from US, Canada, Australia, Europe and Israel and they donated him to get abroad.
Getting to Cambodia and Laos
First of all Naveed escaped to Cambodia since this country was on arrival on Naveed's passport. He tried to get asylum in Cambodia. However he did not feel safer because of some spies following his in Phnom Penh, he instantly moved to Laos. However while he was in Cambodia, he continued his workings physically and met Rabbi Butman (Chabad House, Phnom Penh) to discuss his workings and his personal situations. He also visited Buddhist temples and met priests to bring peace and mutual co ordination among the different religions.
When he moved to Laos, he met some Muslims there and tried to convince them for working with him for the legitimacy of Israel. However, instead of helping him, they became his opponents and harassed him. Naveed wanted to seek asylum there but Laos does not offer asylum. He found Laos a very safe country to continue his workings. However due to visa restrictions, he could not stay there longer and had to move anywhere else before the expiration of his visa. He did not have sufficient funds to get Laos residence permit. So helplessly he moved to Thailand.
Settling in Thailand
When he moved to Thailand, he again faced the problems of radical Muslims who came to know about his views about Israel. However he was confident that Government was not against his cause. He continued to work on the Zionist cause through his Pages, Groups and website. Since he wanted to run the cause from Laos, he asked for financial help from his supporters all over the World and they supported him with the required money. However Laos has strict visa restrictions for the country Naveed belongs to, he could not get residence permit of Laos. However in the same money,he could get the education visa status of Thailand through paying fees in college there. He got the education status in Thailand as a Thai language learner and on the other hand he got the legal status to reside there as a student. He is successfully running this cause to educating Muslims regarding the Jewish state and historical facts and to combat anti Semitic found in the Islamic countries and elsewhere.
He has been tirelessly working on for seven years and has goals. He wants to create a non-profit charity organization that will send out lecturers to educate everyone about the Legitimacy of Israel. In addition, he wants to do charity work such as helping others who also are in situations, like him, where their lives are in danger because of their beliefs. He wants to be able to help them to escape and start a new life in safety. You are requested to pray for his cause.

Syria in Last 24 Hours: Army Sends Fresh Reinforcement Forces to Southeastern Idlib
syriatr January 17, 2018
The Syrian army dispatched tens of reinforcement forces to fight against the terrorist groups in the Southeastern part of Idlib province.
The deployment took place with the aim of reinvigorating the combat and defense capabilities of the Syrian army in Idlib province.
Meantime, the Syrian army continued its military advances in other parts of Syria, including Aleppo and Damascus, over past 24 hours.
The Syrian Army has dispatched more troops and equipment to accelerate advances against terrorists in Southeastern Idlib and capture the Abu al-Dhohour military airport fast, field sources reported on Tuesday.
The sources said that a large number of army soldiers and military equipment have arrived in Southeastern Idlib to intensify attack on terrorists and drive them out of Abu al-Dhohour strategic airbase.
The sources added that the army units have managed to recapture the positions they lost temporarily to terrorists in Southeastern Idlib.
Field sources confirmed on Monday that thousands of terrorists retreated from their positions in Southern Aleppo and Northern Hama and moved to Southeastern Idlib to back the Al-Nusra Front against the Syrian Army troops that were rapidly advancing towards Abu al-Dhohour airbase.
The sources said that thousands of gunmen from the Al-Nusra, the Islamic al-Turkistani Party and Ahrar al-Sham have retreated from their positions in Southern Aleppo and Northern Hama in the last seven days.
The sources said that the terrorists left their positions to avoid an army siege in Aleppo, Hama and Idlib, adding that the fleeing terrorists have arrived in Southeastern Idlib to back the Al-Nusra militants to slow down the army's devastating advances towards Abu al-Dhohour airbase.
The Syrian Army troops stormed the Al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at or the Levant Liberation board) in Southern Aleppo and managed to capture several villages in the push towards Abu al-Dhohour airbase in Southeastern Idlib on Tuesday.
The army soldiers exchanged heavy fire with the Al-Nusra in Southern Aleppo and captured the villages of Oweinat Saqira, Oweinat Kabaira and Marhamiya, inching closer to the strategic Abu al-Dhohour airbase in Southeastern Idlib.
A number of al-Nusra gunmen were killed or wounded and their military equipment were damaged in the army operation.
Earlier reports said that the army men stormed the Al-Nusra's positions on Tal (hill) al-Shahid after capturing Tal al-Zaman and managed to impose control over a key region West of the village of Jafr al-Mansour along the road connecting Tal al-Zaman to Abu al-Dhohour.
A military source said that a vast region in Southern Aleppo in now under the monitoring of army soldiers after the fall of Tal al-Shahid into the government forces.
The source said that the army also pushed terrorists back from the Eastern part of the town of al-Oweinat after capturing the Tal al-Shahid.
The army men are planning to advance more from Southern Aleppo to lay siege on Abu al-Dhohour airbase from the North, while the military airbase has been under the army's siege from its Eastern and Southwestern directions.
Field sources reported on Tuesday that a notorious commander of Faylaq al-Rahman was killed in battle with the Syrian Army troops in Eastern Ghouta.
The sources said that the army men clashed with terrorists in the Vehicles Management Center in Harasta region, killing a number of terrorists, including Abu Ala'a To'ameh, the field commander of Faylaq al-Rahman.
The sources said that Abu Ala'a was the commander of engineering units and military affairs of the terrorist group.
Reports said earlier on Tuesday that the army troops managed to advance against terrorists in Eastern Ghouta and captured a key hill in the region, inching closer to lay siege on a main bastion of militants.
The army men stormed the positions of Jeish al-Islam in Harazma region and seized back Tal (hill) Harazma.
The army men further cut off the supply line of terrorists in the town of al-Nashabiyeh and captured several positions in the gardens of al-Nashabiyeh.
In the meantime, a field source pointed to the army's advances in the town of Harazma that is connected to al-Nashabiyeh from its Northern direction, adding that the army soldiers are planning to separate the town from other regions under the control of militants.
The army has laid siege on al-Nashabiyeh from its Southern and Eastern directions.

Hot & Cold At the Marathon des Sables, billed as the world's toughest footrace, even the stoutest of competitors couldn't avoid getting Saharan sand kicked (and blown) in their faces
His left eye fused shut by sand, sweat and tears, and his right
eye barely functional behind his sand-shielding sunglasses, Doug
Gallaher was suddenly without tracks to follow as darkness fell
on the Sahara on April 10, the fourth day of the 17th Marathon
des Sables. "The wind was howling, I could barely see anything,
and I was all alone surrounded by 300-foot-high dunes," recalls
the 33-year-old Web developer from San Francisco. "Up to that
point the race had been...I wouldn't say a fun thing, but a
challenging thing. Suddenly it became a serious thing that could
have much bigger consequences than I had imagined. That's when I
had my little insanity breakdown."
Almost everyone who attempts the weeklong Marathon des Sables
(or the Marathon of the Sands) has one eventually: That moment
of truth when the blistering heat or the blinding sandstorms or
the steady diet of freeze-dried food drives him to the edge of
despair. It is one of the reasons Patrick Bauer, a former
concert promoter from Troyes, France, who concocted the event in
1986, proudly bills the MdS as "the toughest footrace on earth."
Bauer's inspiration for creating it came in 1984, when he walked
200 miles alone across the Algerian Sahara. He found the
experience so harsh and clarifying that he realized he could
create a similar event in which people would pay to participate.
The resulting annual ordeal, which begins in the middle of the
desert, four hours from Ouarzazate, Morocco, and ends in the
small Moroccan village of Foum Zguit, requires its 600 or so
participants to run the equivalent of more than five marathons
in six stages over seven days. The exact course and conditions
vary, but typically there is one marathon stage of 26.2 miles
and one 50-mile leg that runners have 40 hours to complete, as
well as one "dune day" that includes roughly 14 miles up and
down large walls of sand. All told, participants cover about 142
miles running, walking or hobbling over rocky plateaus, dried
lake and river beds, village streets and sand dunes, often in
punishing sandstorms and heat that can reach 120[degrees]. Race
organizers provide nine liters of water a day and spartan Berber
accommodations (nine to a burlap-sack tent) at night. Every
other necessity, such as a sleeping bag, a distress flare, an
antivenom pump (in case of snakebites) and food for seven days,
must be lugged by the runner. Though some medical aid is
available, any racer who requires more than one IV is
disqualified and must suffer the humiliation of having his or
her name added to the QUITTERS list posted outside the bivouac
The only requirements for entry are $2,600 (including a mandatory
"corpse repatriation fee") and evidence of a recent
electrocardiogram and medical exam. (Evidence of a recent
psychiatric checkup is, apparently, optional.) While many of the
participants are accomplished endurance athletes looking for a
new challenge, some are regular folk with an adventurous spirit
but little idea of what they are getting into. Nevertheless, only
one participant has expired en route--a Frenchman in his 20s died
of a massive heart attack during the 1988 race--and only one has
been lost for more than a day. In 1994 Mauro Prosperi of Sicily
got lost in a sandstorm and wandered the desert for nine days,
living off captured bats before being found 125 miles off course
and some 40 pounds lighter. Calling the experience both
"terrible" and "great," Prosperi returned to compete in 1998,
only to be felled by a severely stubbed toe.
Gallaher, an experienced marathoner and triathlete who had signed
up for the MdS as part of Team Clif Bar a year and a half ago as
a way to forget a failed love affair, would have better luck than
Prosperi. Alone among the dunes on that bleak night of April 10
(in a stroke of cruel genius, event organizers had made dune day
part of the 50-mile nonstop stage) and weeping sand from every
crevice and orifice, Gallaher backtracked until he met up with
some other racers, with whom he traveled until the dunes were
behind them. When he finally staggered into the race checkpoint
around 9:30 that night, Gallaher was focused on a single task:
fashioning nighttime goggles out of a scarf and a cut-up water
bottle to keep the infernal sand out of his eyes. "I was crazed;
I kept thinking, I...must...make...goggles!" says Gallaher,
who would finish the race in 23rd place. "Then the wind picked up
and blew my whole project away."
With the wind at a constant roar and the temperatures never
breaking 90 in the day and plummeting to the 40s at night, this
year's race was strangely devoid of the furnacelike heat for
which the event is so famous, yet it arguably had the most
adverse conditions in MdS history. "The story of this race was
sand and wind and cold," says Gallaher. "We were braced for
sweltering heat, but we didn't get it. I had no pants, no jacket.
We didn't bring stoves because we thought we'd be able to cook
stuff directly in the sun. The best we could do was half-cook
stuff. I ate a lot of crunchy pasta."
Some of that crunch was sand. Gallaher and his Team Clif Bar
teammate Stephen Houghton, a Web manager and office raconteur at
Clif Bar, the Berkeley, Calif.-based energy-bar company, had
wisely spent a month and a half before the race designing and
testing gaiters to keep sand out of their shoes. But they didn't
have much success keeping it out of anything else. The
sandstorms were so relentless that racers were occasionally
envious of the eight Brits who took turns wearing a 20-pound
rhino costume on behalf of the London-based Save the Rhino
foundation. In addition to providing some additional protection
from the blowing sand, the rhino costume established the race's
minimum standard of achievement among some runners. "People
would say, 'At least I beat the rhino,' or, 'I thought I was
doing well until the rhino passed me,'" says Gallaher. Team
Rhino finished the race, a big improvement over the 2000
performance of a fellow Brit who raced in a full bunny costume
for less than three days before he abandoned it and whatever
cause he was promoting and joined the quitters' list.
Day 5, an off day for those who had completed Stage 4 the night
before, offered up the worst of the week's sandstorms. To avoid a
continual blast, Gallaher passed most of the day zipped into his
sleeping bag inside the sievelike tent he shared with Houghton,
teammate Kory Helean and six others. "Everyone was miserable,"
says Gallaher. "Just facing a trip to the bathroom [primitive
squatty potties of which the short privacy screens had been blown
away by the wind] was a horrible decision to make."
That day Gallaher mustered the courage to visit the medical tent
to tend to a blood blister, another horrible decision. When a
medic mercilessly jabbed a scalpel underneath his second left
toenail to pop the blister, he unleashed a bloodcurdling scream.
"It was agony," he says. "My toe throbbed for days."
Even so, Gallaher was relieved when Day 6 and its marathon-length
run rolled around. After painfully slipping into his running
shoes--which were, as recommended, a size and a half bigger than
his usual shoes--he briskly set off straight into the same head
wind that had been torturing him for the previous four days. "It
was still windy, but after a day of being trapped in our tents,
we were finally doing something, and it was like we had a new
lease on life," says Gallaher. "People ran really fast. It felt
like a real marathon; it was by far the most competitive day. If
you could finish that, you knew you'd finish the whole thing."
After Houghton crossed the finish line on a paved street in Foum
Zguit after the final 12-mile run on Day 7, one of only two days
when the sand didn't blow, he cried a little. "On one hand I
thought that day would never come; on the other, I was already
mourning the loss of the whole adventure," says Houghton, who
came in 299th. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat, though probably
not next year. I think I have enough stories for the watercooler
to last me awhile."

In 1994 a competitor got lost in a sandstorm and wandered the
desert for nine days, living off captured bats.
The rhino costume set a minimum standard of achievement. "People
said, 'At least I beat the rhino,'" says Gallaher.
