1926-S Twenty, MS66+
1926-S $20 MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex:
Boyd/Green/Carter/Duckor. The 1926-S was once considered the
third-rarest date of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. When
legendary Fort Worth coin dealer B. Max Mehl cataloged this
specimen as lot 881 of the Dr. Charles W. Green Collection in April
1949, he recapped the then-current knowledge about the coin's
rarity and revealed interesting information about the history of
the coin offered here:
Finest Certified at PCGS
Ex: F.C.C. Boyd, Dr. Charles Green, Amon Carter
"1926 $20.00, San Francisco Mint. Uncirculated. Full mint luster. Excessively rare. This identical specimen is from the 'World's Greatest Collection,' Lot No. 1029, sold in January, 1946. The catalogers at that time had this to say about this coin: "One of the rarest of United States coins. This Double Eagle should take off on a record breaking spree. It is our opinion that the selling price will exceed $1,000.00." (At that time the coin cataloged for $150.00.) The coin brought $1,100. To the best of my knowledge only three specimens are known to exist. The Berenstein Collection did not have it. As stated above, it is undoubtedly one of the very rarest of American gold coins."
The coin realized $1,525, a staggering sum for that time. The World's Greatest Collection was the magnificent U.S. coin collection assembled by F.C.C. Boyd and cataloged by Abe Kosoff in 1945-1946. Boyd was the vice president of the Union News Company, served on the board of the National Recovery Administration during the Depression. and was a board member of the Office of Price Administration during World War II. His pattern collection was sold to King Farouk and much of his Colonial material was acquired by John J. Ford, Jr.
The likely buyer of the coin at Mehl's sale was Amon Carter, Sr., another prominent citizen of Fort Worth, Texas. Carter and his son, Amon Carter, Jr., put together a world-class collection, including an 1804 dollar, one of the three known specimens of the 1822 half eagle, and many rare dates from the Saint-Gaudens series. The main body of the collection, including this coin, was sold by Stack's in 1984, but the 1822 half eagle was sold earlier to Josiah K. Lilly and now resides in the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Steven Duckor acquired this coin at the Carter sale, providing an unbroken pedigree that leads back more than 65 years and reads like a "Who's Who" of 20th century numismatists.
Like many dates from the 1920s, the 1926-S began to turn up in European holdings in the 1950s, and its rarity as a date has declined over the years. Today, the 1926-S ranks as the 18th-rarest issue of the 53-coin series, but it remains quite rare at the MS66 level. PCGS has certified only two examples in MS66, with this coin listed as their single finest specimen at MS66+. The present coin occupies the number one spot in the PCGS Coin Facts Condition Census.
When David Akers cataloged the spectacular 1926-S double eagle in lot 113 of the Thaine B. Price Collection (5/1998), he noted, "A splendid, magnificent coin that is tied for finest known with the Amon Carter specimen, lot 1073, now in the Dr. Steven Duckor Collection and also graded MS-66 by PCGS." We believe the Price coin is the single MS67 NGC example listed in the Census today, while the Carter/Duckor specimen has been upgraded to MS66+ PCGS, and is the superlative coin offered in this lot. Like Akers in 1998, we believe the two coins are virtually equal in their extraordinary quality and eye appeal, and remain the finest examples of this sought-after issue known to the numismatic community.
The Stack's catalogers in the Carter sale mentioned a bagmark on the eagle's belly, just in front of the leg. The noted bagmark on the eagle is prominent, but it is among the few mentionable abrasions on either side of this marvelous coin. This mark, and a small dark color spot near A in DOLLARS are the key pedigree markers that enabled us to trace this coin to the Green Collection. The center obverse is vivid copper-gold, yielding to sea-green tinges at the rims. The reverse offers yellow-gold, orange-gold, and greenish-gold hues all competing for space in a marvelous display. The strike is bold on each side, if not absolute, but the aesthetics are marvelous. This coin possesses unmatched historical interest, combined with the highest available technical quality and superb visual appeal.
Ex: F.C.C. Boyd; World's Greatest Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 1/1946), lot 1029; Dr. Charles W. Green Collection (B. Max Mehl, 4/1949), lot 881; Amon G. Carter Family Collection (Stack's, 1/1984), lot 1073.
David Akers Comments:
For nearly 20 years, the 1926-S was at the top of the rarity pinnacle for Saint-Gaudens double eagles behind only the 1924-S and 1926-D and then just marginally so. It was considered slightly rarer than the 1921, 1927-S, and 1931-D and much more rare than the 1920-S, 1927-D, and 1930-S. The reasons for the rarity of the 1926-S were obvious to the dealers and collectors of the period. Sure, the mintage figure was quite high, slightly over two million pieces, but it was well known that these coins were not put into the normal channels of commerce and they were never available to the general public at local banks. Dealers and collectors knew the mintage figures of the double eagles struck during the 1920s and were well aware of the fact that the coins were not really minted for circulation but rather to be held by the government as part of the gold reserves that backed the country's currency. They also knew that after 1933 virtually all of the gold coins held by the Treasury were melted into gold bars and so, when 1926-S double eagles almost never were offered for sale either privately or at public auction, it was reasonable and logical to assume that they had all been melted, with the exception of just a very few specimens that may have been acquired directly from the mint in the year of issue. What dealers and collectors did not know, however, about the 1926-S and most of the other large mintage issues of the 1920s was that large quantities of double eagles had been sent to Europe between 1926 and 1933 for various payments. Some of these shipments consisted of bags of mixed early dates containing both circulated and uncirculated coins as well as single date bags of uncirculated examples of many issues including the 1926-S. Beginning in the early 1950s many of these coins, including numerous mint state specimens of the 1926-S, were returned to the U.S.
At the end of the 1940's, the consensus among numismatists was that only three to six examples of the 1926-S had survived. B. Max Mehl, the legendary Fort Worth, Texas, dealer claimed in his mail-bid-only sale of the Dr. Charles W. Green Collection in 1949 that only three were known and the Green specimen realized $1,525, more than double the price realized by the 1927-S in that sale and triple the amount brought by the 1930-S. Only the 1926-D realized more than the 1926-S in that sale which was the finest set of Saints sold at auction at that time. The Green coin had been purchased from the F.C.C. Boyd (WGC) sale in 1946. It was apparently purchased by Amon Carter at the Green sale since it was sold with the Carter Collection in 1984. I purchased this coin from the Carter sale for Dr. Duckor and it is the coin offered here. It is the only example graded as high as MS66+ by PCGS and is equal in overall quality to the Dr. Thaine Price coin which is now in an NGC 67 holder. They are the two finest examples I have ever seen and both of them are specimens that were among the few known to the numismatic community in the 1940s when the 1926-S was considered such a premier rarity. As mentioned above, both were almost certainly obtained directly from the San Francisco Mint in the year of issue.

My crowning achievement in live recording was a pair of all day Bach festivals. 10 1/2 hours straight of 2 events--and I wasn't even there!
Have you ever attempted to record live music? How did you do it and how did it turn out?
Whether it's the kid's first piano recital, or the neighborhood surf band, sometimes you've just got to record it yourself. But making that magical document of a live audio event is not nearly as easy as it would seem
It has been a few years, and my budget was somewhat limited, so I had to rely on tried and true simple methods. With two Neumann KM-84's as the only microphones and a Revox B77; I concentrated on proper placement of microphones (to preserve phase integrity), and the you-are-there sense. This type of experience convinced me that microphone placement, minimalist techniques, and no processing between the mics and the master is the best way. If you want to post-processs -- fine, but keep the master as clinically clean as possible.
My son frequently uses an old TEAC 360 to record his band. I do not think much of the quality, but they get what they want from it. They aren't much concerned with sound quality; they are interested in how the content works. That's what they tell me, anyway
I used to record my high school band concerts, back in the '70s, on cassette with Dolby B. Even with the hiss, hum, and poor miking, the results were still quite enjoyable and remain frozen moments in time in my tape collection, bringing back great memories.
At Brooklyn Poly in 72, I bought the first Teac 4-channel reel-to-reel deck, the 2340. Fanatastic overdub & synch capabilities at a consumer price point. This thing weighed about 60 pounds, but technically it was "portable." I got a lot of mileage out of it. With friends, I produced a complete album ("The Counterweight Record"), had it cut and pressed, even drew the label and album jacket artwork. (Master cut by former AUDIO magazine answer man, Joe Giovanelli.) Using later TEACs, I went on to make records for high schools and local bands. I once recorded a live NY thunderstorm over "Ride of the Valkeries" in "surrond sound" -- it scared the crap out of my Brooklyn brownstone neighbors whenever I played it at 1am! I still have many master tapes and burn CDs from them today; they still sound pretty good. Nothing like half-track analog tape running at 15 ips! It was more fun when you had to physically cut and splice tape. Anyone still have a splicing block??
Well it wasn't really just me. It was me and my friends trying to record my friend's band at the drummer's house where they jammed. The guy who owns the house(the drummer) spent a week building a studio next to the room they actually played in. Layers of home brewed acoustic treatment, a mixing board, a few mediocre microphones, and a Hifi VCR for the storage medium was all we had. Now to put this into perspective, this is a heavy metal band and they play LOUD. Even with all the acoustic treatment, it was still loud in the recording room. Put on headphones and it was still loud. There was just no way to seperate the jam session from what was being recorded. Mixing the different amps and mics was no easy task. It took weeks before we had anything that was worth a damn. Even after the $1000's spent on hardware it was still only marginally better than the cheapest one mic recordings that they had made previously.
Using a binaural mic and minidisc player, I've recorded a pair of Buffalo Tom concerts, as well as a performance by Guided By Voices. The recordings came out quite good. If anything, they revealed the limitations of the sound system and acoustics of the venue.
yes i have tried to copy music from a live performance to tape(cassette) and had a very bad copy since i used a cheap mic and had bad placement of the bad mic i am not equipped to do a good job so i will just say "no"next time someone asks me
I've recorded a couple of student string players using a professional quality, portable mono analog tape machine with a $100 mike. The "kids" had previously only listened to their own music on truly excrable "Blue Light Special" consumer grade tape recorders. I'm sure audiophiles would sneer at my efforts, but the kids were delighted with the sound quality [well one of them, with the possibility of a serious musical career in front of him, cautions me not to play the tape outside of a small circle of friends!]
Many props to audio recording engineers. Their job of recording live events when there is little control of the acoustics and background noises (planes, trains and automobiles). I tried to to tape my child's violin concert for school on a Hi8 camcorder. Forget cassette because of its poor response. The Hi8 tape and camcorder is a great recording medium in spite of having to record video. I never realized the echo that super reflection of high frequency sounds caused by hard floors and walls and the poor absorptivity qualities of large glass windows. I felt as I I put my camcorder inside the liberty bell and someone went Mitchell Guilliatt on it. I tried to make due without the vidoe by remixing the sound to remove the upper frequency blast and to mix the lower frequency back into the final audio. Didn't work. I leave the recording to the professionals and I will pay for the final product.
We record our church service every week for the home bound parishoners. We have a fairly large/wide dynamic range pipe organ and a chorale of about 10-15 people. They primarily do traditional church music like Bach or Mozart and also original pieces done by our music director. The choir isn't too bad for recording unless the sopranos kick in as a group, then the level goes nuts. You can't gain ride too much or the dynamics will saturate a cassette very quickly. When the organ is in a solo like a prelude or after the service, it is best to back off somewhat. Live is so much more dynamic than from a CD of LP that it will catch you off guard. We do not have any idea of what is coming each performance so we go by the four years/52 weeks per year experience. We have to use cassettes because we must use a format that allows portability and is cost effective. Services last 70-80minutes so a CD recorder just wont give us enough time. Everything is run thru a 12 channel mixer/preamp with some qualization. Our mikes are strictly dynamic and just aimed into the choir/organ area. Live classical church music, when done in a acoustically great venue like our church can really make you wonder what it must have been like to actually hear Mozart or Bach. It is worth hearing every Sunday at Church of the Holy Faith in Santa Fe.
I'll never forget it as long as I live. I was 12 years old. A local Los Angeles radio station, KMET, was to broadcast a special Led Zeppelin interview along with Zep's music. Because I had no hi-fi equipment, and was (and still am) a huge Zep fan, I asked my dad if I could use his car radio to make a tape of the program. He consented. On the day that the program was to air, I rode my bike to a local Tower Records store and purchased the most expensive high bias Memorex tape that I could find. Man, it was expensive, but I thought that the better the tape, the better the sound, even if I were to use (which I did) a portable Panasonic tape recorder. It wasn't even a stereo recorder. The big moment had come for me to set up for the big event. Tape and recorder in hand, I headed to the garage with my dad's car keys. Very carefully, I set the recorders's microphone right over the single monophonic speaker in the car (it was a '68 Plymouth Satellite). I was the recording engineer, and my quest was to make the best possible tape of this historic event. I was invincible! As the program aired, I pushed the "record" and "play" buttons simultaneously, and sat back in the car seat as quietly as I could. Let me tell you, my heart was pounding! Having listened to the Zep interview, I was even more anxious to show off my tape to all of my buddies at school the following day, but I thought that it might be a good idea for me to audition the tape first. As I carefully re-wound the tape, my entire being was filled with anticipation. I pushed the "play" button. The moment of truth had arrived. The first thing I heard was a long, introductory hiss. Then, I heard the strangest warbles imaginable where the voices were suppossed to have been. I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong; after all, I was using that newly formulated high bias tape. Could the tape recorder have had something to do with it? The program sounded fine as I was listening to it in my dad's car. Suffice to say that after that experience, I took a short (7-8 year) hiatus from the art of recording. But then . . . I guess that's where Stereophile came in.
I remember being inspired in the late 1960s, while in High School, reading Bert Whyte's (formerly of Everest Records) column in Audio magazine. One month he described his portable recording set up (Revox recorder and Hammond condenser microphones). These were the days when an open-reel recorder was an important part of a home audio system. I had already experimented with my father's (ca. 1956) home Ampex recorder and Shure microphone. By the time I was in college, I had access to professional equipment and began recording various music ensembles at the music school I attended. I then bought and rebuilt several open-reel recorders, mostly of the Ampex and Magnacord (1024) breed. Using a modest home tube Ampex (model 1260) and a couple of Nakamicki microphones, I recorded bands, orchestras, choral groups and solo recitals. I mounted the mics as a near-coincident pair (ORTF) using photography light stand(s). I felt at the time, even using this simple set-up, that my tapes sounded much more realistic to the live environment then most commercial recordings I had purchased. The apex of my hobby was reached the year I bought and rebuilt a stereo Ampex 351 recorder. It looked like brand-new by the time I was finished. It was in a "portable" case (yeh sure!) just like the one in the picture in this month's Stereophile print magazine. I dumped a lot of money into that machine that year! I eventually sold that unit as parts were so expensive. I have not had time or money to indulge my hobby in recent years (Children have a way of changing things!), but I have a Sony pro DAT machine that I only use on Sundays to record Garrison Keiler . . . It is indeed unfortunate that there is so little interest in live recording among audiophiles today.
Back in the '80s, I used to record the local bands' free concerts all the time. It was great. Standing there for two hours with a recorder in your hand and then rushing home to find out that the tape "came out." The funny part was that you always had somebody talking to you while you recorded, and of course every word was picked up by the recorder. On a few occasions, I've had tapes come out just like a PA tape, and then there were those that didn't sound good at all. I still have most of those great recordings today. These days, I don't get an oppurtunity to record much, but now some of the music is not worth recording anyway.
I started recording local rock bands in high school and, when I later traded in the Realistic reel-to-reel for a Sony with "sound-on-sound," overdubbed myself playing both guitar and piano. I've since recorded many friends, as my profession is radio production and I have a somewhat sophisticated studio in my basement. It's a lot of fun.
I started by recording my daughter's flute recital, followed by the piano recital of a friend's son. Then local orchestras and choruses started wanting archive recordings and/or copies for their members. It turned into a nice little side business that I still actively run 20-some years later. I always record with my equipment and me in the audience, not off-stage, so I get to hear 40-70 LIVE concerts a year! Several commercial CDs have resulted from this very small business, also.
I used a simple one mike set up and recorded on an VCR. The sound was good. The VCR out preformed the cass. recorder by far. I had trouble with the live music over powering vocals. Over all quality was good and has ben played many times on the System. I may try two mikes next time!!
I've been attempting music recordings all my life. I've made hundreds of recordings of local recitals over the years - many have been used by the local PBS station. Excellent Cardoid microphones arranged in ORTF fashion, a good portable DAT recorder like TASCAM's DA-P1, a long microphone stand and a 75 foot stereo microphone cable will produce very acceptable results 98% of the time. In my entire life I have never been able to fool myself into believing any recording produced by anyone sounds even remotely close to real music -- there's just so much detail in the real thing.
I am a composer/arranger/performer of very modest talent of easy listening vocal/instrumental piano & strings music and got started building my own home studio 15+ years ago. My first recording format was R2R and then moved to DAT when they first came out. Recording in the studio is totally different than "on-site" recording. I mostly do church related projects with the choir, acoustic piano, and some instrumental tracks with the choir and soloists. I hope to do some classical ensemble work later this year. The sound out of the house PA was so bad the first thing I did was to get a direct-out feed for each mic input and mix totally separate from the "house" PA. I then come back with my DAT master and dump it into my computer using a Midiman DIO2448 sound card and Syntrillium's Cool Edit. My front end is a Midiman Flying Calf 2448 ADC and The DIO 24/48 card (street price of about $300 for both). I monitor using MAudio's 24/96 SuperDAC ($220) It is slightly better that the DAC on the sound card which is pretty good, but still an improvement. It also makes a good DAC upgrade for a cheap CD Player. I tried two other computer based sound cards, but could never get the noise floor below -46db (noisey PCI Buss), which is not even cassette quality, until I got the ADC out of the computer. I am now at -80db noise floor which is good enough. Inside Cool Edit I add Compression, if I need it, and eq and reverb. I record totally dry. The computer gives you 99 levels of undo so if you don't like the EQ or reverb you added you just undo it and start over. Even the modest set up I have is vastly superior to anything I did previously, and I can burn RedBook CD's to boot. I have even recorded directly into the computer on site when the noise of the fan is not an issue. A master at 24/96 is where you want to be if you can. I am then able to burn CD's for familiy, friends, and church members who want copies of the church performances of major events, ie Christmas and Easter Contatas. I have recorded two CD's of my own work that I give to family and friends who are very musically tolerant and/or tone deaf. My next move will be to a Digital Audio Labs Card Deluxe which will move me to 24/96. I know that Pro Tools is not too far down the road either. Once the quality bug hits you, it is hard not to want the best. Remember once you get into computer recording you can never have too much RAM or a large enough Hard Drive. At 16-bit every minute of 2-track audio is about 10 megs of RAM. You may have to record in "blocks" or "Tracks" to not max out your RAM before you "save" to HD. More bits and SR increases are even more RAM. The key is a quality front-end, ie mics, mixer and/ or MIC Preamps. The old addage is true, garbage in/garbage out. My mic cabinet is Shure SM 81's and AKG 3000B's, not the best but very good for what I am doing. Even if you stay at 16 bit, with a quality front end you would be amazed how good it can sound. It is a great hobby and has given me a greater appreciation for great sound quality and recordings, ie JA and RS's work. When you realize how difficult it is to make a quality recording you tend criticize less and enjoy more. I know I do.
I used a simple one mike set up and recorded on an VCR. The sound was good. The VCR out preformed the cass. recorder by far. I had trouble with the live music over powering vocals. Over all quality was good and has ben played many times on the System. I may try two mikes next time!!
My best recordings to date have been made with a simple Sennheiser MKE 2002 Binaural Microphone/Head and Sony TCD-D7 DAT deck -- acoustic jazz in ambient spaces. As an upgrade, I have invested in a matched pair of Earthworks QTC-1's (4 Hz -40KHz +/- 1 db, +/- 1/3db of each other), but have yet to find the DSD recorder to go with them. They sound great feeding into through a pre-amp into a Stax Omega II system though. Anyone with any DSD recording experience here?

"It's the best way to get 3 or 4 credits in only 3 weeks"
- PLE student evaluation
The Pymatuning Lab of Ecology (PLE) offers its courses to a consortium of regional universities to serve as a source of biological field courses for the entire region. While PLE is operated by the University of Pittsburgh's main campus, the educational consortium has grown over the past 9 years to include Pitt-Bradford, Pitt-Greensburg, Pitt-Johnstown, Pitt-Titusville, Clarion University, Edinboro University, Indiana University, Slippery Rock University, and Chatham University.
Over the past 10 years, we have also made tremendous efforts to improve the quality of the courses, residences, and catered food. Students have responded strongly to these improvements. Enrollment during the past 10 years has nearly doubled and when surveyed, 98% of students rate their overall experience at PLE either good or excellent!
For 2018, we have assembled another impressive collection of high-quality courses. By enrolling in several courses, we guarantee that you will satisfy your hunger for field experience, improve your resume, meet requirements for your major, and interact with a diverse array of teaching and research faculty.
Don't have a car to get to PLE? Don't worry! Students from Pitt attending the summer courses will receive an e-mail to help arrange car pooling among students. For more information on car pool arrangements, please contact Christine Berliner at the BioSci Advising Office.

Comments about Nielsen Bainbridge Cold Press Illustration Board:
This has been my go-to illustration board for many years. The quality has always been reasonably consistent, which is so important for professional work. However, I have not always been pleased in the way it was packaged and shipped to me. The boards are often packed in oversized boxes in which the boards slide around and the corners get bent. In addition, the boards are not wrap in any kind of material to protect them should the box be exposed to inclement weather during delivery. Which has happened and was almost a disaster since ruined boards would have made me miss an important deadline. Should this happen again I will be forced to find another supplier.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not as nice as the old boards
By Kitty
from Juneau, Alaska
I have been using this cold press board with pen and ink and Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache to paint coats of arms. The board used to be thicker. I don't know when the thickness changed, because I was away from painting for many years. In the 1960-1970s it could be relied on not to warp or bend. (I still have a couple of the old boards.) Returning to painting a year ago, I found that the new boards warp - won't even stay flat on the drawing board with drafting tape. Now I'm worried about getting my work framed, hoping the warping won't affect the result. Some other boards, such as Cresent 100.3, are thicker but are creamy white, and I like the Bainbridge board because it is a bright white. So, for me, Bainbridge is still best in its category despite the warping.
A good solid product
By Jane
from Philadelphia
I use watercolor on this board to get interesting textures. Ten years ago (or less) it was a heavier product. I preferred that, but this year's "model" still works better than similar products.
Love this illustration board
By Joni
from Vancouver, BC
I have not been able to find a better price on comparable illustration boards. I cut the 15x20" sheets into smaller sizes for illustrating pages of comics and graphic novels. It takes mixed media well -- with a soft, textured top layer which leaves a textured-looking mark (if that is what you're looking for).My Dick Blick order was FedEx-ed to me in Canada (shipping was costly, but was offset by the great prices of the products) and delivered in a better than expected timely manner.

"Satisfied Customer"
By Todd
from Bussey Iowa
Living in a rural area in Iowa, I could not find a retail store that had the Illustration board I wanted for my artwork. Shopping online, i found the Nielson Bainbridge Cold Press Illustration board that I have come to rely on for top quality results for the past 30 years. They were delivered a couple days after ordering them and the cost was actually cheaper than it would have been if I had to drive an hour to the nearest city with an art supply store.

By Lisa Ziegel:
According to Dr. Richard Larson, an Engineering Systems Division professor who studies "queuing psychology" at MIT, we spend an average of at least two to three years of our lives waiting for things. Whether waiting in a room for a doctor's appointment or sitting in traffic waiting to move in a car, the feeling of wasting your time can be very frustrating. One of the most mind-numbing sources of boredom and aggravation comes from waiting in airports due to flight delays. Sure, you can read, surf the web on your tablet computer, play with your Smartphone, or try to catch a quick nap. But what if you could use that time productively to do something that so many people claim they have no time to do? In addition, Dr. Larson's research has suggested that when people are waiting along with some form of distraction, their perception of the discomfort is somewhat lessened. Dr. Christopher Berger, an exercise physiologist and member of the American College of Sports Medicine's "Exercise is Medicine" task force, said that "Exercise is Medicine on the Fly" is using this tactic to encourage people to use the time they might normally fritter away to help alleviate the newly recognized dangers of prolonged sitting and the issue of "deep vein thrombosis" or "DVT" among at-risk flyers. This group is dedicated to making air travel healthier, and airport walking is just one of the initiatives they are promoting. Whether a frequent flyer or an occasional traveler, anyone can benefit from these tips that will add to your fitness repertoire and make fitting in activity even easier.
A Scottish study conducted in 2003 found that the more time that was spent sitting while engaging in entertainment devices (computers, gaming, Smartphone Apps, etc.) the higher the risk for cardiovascular disease. As little as two hours spent sitting caused a marked increase in this risk. Take the average person with a sedentary lifestyle who sits in the airport waiting before a flight and then sits again on the plane for two hours or more, and the problem is evident. In addition, the threat of DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE) can come into play for some athletes who travel directly after competitive events. Despite their healthier lifestyles, the level of activity they perform in their sport coupled with insufficient hydration and recovery time afterward can pose the same risk as a sedentary person has.
In any case, our bodies normally have the ability to dispatch potential clots that may form through a negative feedback system. However, this system could be compromised in the case of an injury or a physiological obstruction to blood flow. Sitting, especially in a cramped space (such as an airplane seat), also impedes blood flow from the lower extremities to the heart. An athlete who has just performed a strenuous activity and who did not hydrate or recover well afterward is at increased risk with prolonged sitting due to the extra thickness of the blood. Other risk factors include congenital abnormalities and family history of DVT.
Luckily, by exercising a few precautions and by incorporating light exercise before a long bout of traveling, the chance of incurring a DVT or PE becomes much less, and it will help you feel better before and after your trip. Knowing your risk factors and the signs and symptoms of each (lower extremity swelling, pain and/or discoloration, shortness of breath, coughing, etc.) and staying well-hydrated are things everyone can do.
Of course, physical activity is one of the best preventative measures, and the "Exercise is Medicine on the Fly" group has done a great deal of work to bring awareness to the activity that can be executed in airports, as well as enlisting the help of airport officials in making terminals more exercise-friendly. The group aims to engage all facets of airport operations, including the airlines themselves and various merchants and vendors on the premises in assisting with their efforts. Creating signage that points out areas with space for walking and opportunities for walking is one option, such as walking by foot instead of taking the moving walkways through corridors. The ACSM can provide instructional material (i.e., airport websites and in-flight videos, information inside in-flight magazines) and provide consultation to airport authorities in designing more activity-friendly spaces.
Most airlines will hold carry-on luggage, or you can check your luggage to allow you more freedom to walk around while you are waiting during a layover (although if you use proper form while pulling or pushing your luggage, you can use it for extra resistance), and you may find the walls adorned with inviting artwork to make your walk more pleasant. And of course, you can always take stairs whenever possible. Some airports have walking trails adjacent to them so that you can go outside and get some fresh air, weather permitting. Others are near fitness centers or hotels with in-house gyms, and the ACSM is encouraging these to offer special rates for travelers.
If you are stuck in one place and are not able to walk around the terminal, you can always keep moving by doing lunges in-place, squats, side-lunges, even push-ups with your hands on the seat of a fixed -terminal chair and your feet on the floor (as long as you are not disruptive). Stand as much as possible and move your legs. You can stretch your calves in-place along with your hamstrings and hip flexors to prepare them for the job of sitting on the plane. Shoulder rolls and side-neck stretches will help alleviate upper neck and back strain from sitting in those uncomfortable seat positions.
Of course, your movement will be limited once you are in flight but take any opportunity to get out of your seat and walk around when you can and use the time if you have to wait to use the lavatory to move. Doing lunges down the aisle on your way back to your seat may not be acceptable to the flight staff or other passengers but try to get a couple of subtle stretches in before you sit down. Shift around in your seat (or bring a micro-fiber filled "doughnut" pillow like I do so that you can move around on top of your seat more easily). As soon as you de-plane, get yourself moving and keep moving even if you have to wait for your luggage in the carousel.
If the Exercise is Medicine on the Fly task-force is successful, travelers will be able to enjoy the benefits of activity no matter where they are flying, lower their risks of DVT and PE and be able to adhere to an active lifestyle that will benefit in the air or on the ground.

MIAMI - Seasalt and Pepper patrons have bumped into Beyonce and Jay-Z, Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova, Bob Sinclair, David Ferrer, Paul Giamatti, Ryan Phillippe, Liv Tyler, the Estefans, Paulina Rubio, Thalia, and the occasional Miami Heat player and Bravo Real Housewives' star.
Stephane Dupoux's vision of turning a post-industrial warehouse on the banks of the Miami river into a nautical home with a "Hamptonite" relaxing pearl white and copper ambiance for socialites turned into a reality. But now he can't enjoy it.
When Mayor Tomas Regalado arrived at the Lummus Park seafood brasserie, 422 NW North River Dr., earlier this year to cut a red ribbon, co-owner Carlos Miranda, of Miami Shores, and Dupoux were hugging and laughing together. Now they can't stand each other.
"We haven't seen Mr. Dupoux here in a while," a restaurant employee said late Wednesday night. "I heard the last time he was here, he wasn't happy."
The Seasalt and Pepper brand is now on several lawsuits in Miami-Dade Circuit Court. A few blocks away in Little Havana, the land of the colorful rooster sculptures, the restaurant's legal drama would probably be described as an "arroz con mango."
Earlier this year, Dupoux "was mad when he found out they fired some people and changed things around without letting him know," a restaurant employee said. "I know the other owners didn't want him exploding in public."
And explode in public, Dupoux did. Standing on his side of the legal battle is Paul Huck Jr., a partner at Hunton & Williams and Harvard law grad. Huck did not return request for comment.
During the first week of March, Dupoux took his complaints against the restaurant investors (Miranda, Hemingways Warehouse, Yunexy Eloy and Alex Jaimes) to Miami-Dade Circuit Court alleging the co-owners had planned "a coup" and were aggressively pushing him out.
The restaurant investors hired renowned attorney Robert Zarco, of Zarco Einhorn Salkowski & Brito. Zarco said Thursday the other owners did file a corporate resolution to exclude Dupoux from management, because "his presence was disruptive" and he "did not have a good relationship with the chef."
On April 9, Zarco filed a lawsuit in behalf of the restaurant investors (Hemingways Warehouse) against a lender (Parallel Fund III). Now that business is good the lender wanted to increase the interest on the $2.8 million loan and they wanted "30 percent ownership interest in the restaurant for free," Zarco said.
"There was a discussion as to the possibility that perhaps the lender would decide to convert the debt into an ownership investment ... that was never agreed to," Zarco said. "They are trying to put leverage on the restaurant by saying that if they don't get these terms – they are going to seek to foreclose on the loan."
The restaurant is bringing in thousands a day. From Wednesday through Sunday, the line at the valet looks like an auto show of Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maserati, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and even Koenigseggs. The cars can fill up two nearby lots.
Although executive chef Alfredo Alvarez and two Michelin star chef Giovanni "Gio" Puglisi were caught in the middle of this fight, some regulars agreed the administrative bitterness had not yet affected their seamless flavor pairings.
Their seafood casseroles, pastas and risottos were flowing out of the open kitchen late Wednesday night. It was a full house. The staff was friendly and attentive. And no walk-ins were welcome.
Their hand crafted signature cocktails have become verbs among some local socialites. Take for instance the need for "el momento 'L'Elephant Rose'," the "'Peach Caipirinha' Jueves," and the "happy verde," a nickname for the restaurant's SeaSalt Vida Verde tequila sweet and sour mix.
On a recent Sunday, the area was the Miami River Commission's dream come true. Luxury vessel passed by new high-rises -- Latitude on the River, Mint at Riverfront and Neo Vertica -- to get to Seasalt and Pepper. Crews had to make reservations at the restaurant's docking facility weeks in advance.
Perrier Joet champagne bellini and mimosa lovers, who now view Miami Beach's Nikki Beach, Fontainebleau and the Mondrian as old "#SundayFunday" social media news, flooded in with their tanned glow and laid-back French riviera flare.
Decades of government officials' obsession with water quality to push the untreated sewage past behind, appeared to be paying off. Real estate investors view the area west of Interstate-95 as up-and-coming.
The restaurant's iconic neighbor Garcia's Seafood Grille & Fish market has seen the river -- that in the 70s and 80s brought in blocks of Colombian powder to cocaine cowboys hoping to get rich quick -- get cleaner.
"The area is very Miami," said Juan Manuel Terra, a regular at Garcia's. "It's funny to watch the poor and the rich mix, you know, we are all refugees here. That Seasalt next door is just that -- a place for the rich to escape."
A recent Sunday afternoon on Seasalt and Pepper's wooden deck, a woman wearing a hat with the Venezuelan flag danced, as a few clapped. No one seemed to care about the legal troubles of the restaurant management or any troubles at all.

Terrorists used hijacked vessel
Even as special forces continued to battle the terrorists, investigators have been working to piece together the sequence of events that led up to the massacre that started on Wednesday night.
Based on the continuing interrogation of arrested Lashkar terrorist Ajmal Amir Kamal, investigators believe the 12 terrorists who left Karachi on a merchant ship hijacked a fishing boat to facilitate their final assault on Mumbai.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Note that in this report, the interrogation of Ajmal Amir Kamal is "continuing", meaning he is still alive. Yet in other reports, the Indian government is claiming that all of the terrorists are dead!

India's Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today rebuffed Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's offer to meet one-on-one during the summit this weekend, but maintained their conflict would be resolved through diplomatic channels.
"War is not a must," Vajpayee said today before flying to the Nepalese capital Kathmandu to attend the summit of seven South Asian leaders.
"Efforts are being made to avoid war through diplomatic channels. If that succeeds, there will be no need to opt for other alternatives."
Pakistani President Musharraf, who met with Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji in Beijing on his way to Nepal, warned India that his country would retaliate fully if Indian troops launched a full attack.
But, according to the Chinese official Xinhua News Agency, Musharraf told the premier that Pakistan "is against war, and wants to soothe the current tense situation through dialogue."
Indian Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh today commented that Pakistan took "steps in the right direction" when it arrested nearly 50 members of Pakistan-based Islamic militant groups, including Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, which India blames for the Dec. 13 attack on the Indian parliament that killed six policemen and a gardener.
Foreign Minister Singh, who is attending the Nepal summit along with India's prime minister, said he recognized that Pakistan needed time to dismantle "all these edifices of terrorism that it has either permitted or constructed over the past two decades."
Singh previously described Pakistan's arrests of members of the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and another group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, "cosmetic."
Pakistan has denied India's accusations that it supports or participates in any terrorist activities.
Meanwhile, Indian and Pakistani troops traded gunfire overnight and Islamic militants in Pakistan reportedly threatened more attacks in the Himalayan province of Kashmir, which both sides claim in its entirety.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who arrived in Bangladesh today on a tour of South Asia, said he would urge the two countries to resolve the crisis peacefully.
"The dangers are obvious. Two very powerful countries in an area where traditionally there has been a lot of conflict and instability," Blair told reporters. "It's extremely important given the military capability of both powers that we do everything we can to calm the situation."
In Washington, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said that the summit "could be an opportunity for [India and Pakistan] to seek ways to make progress toward resolving their current differences and reducing tensions."
The Nepal summit is sponsored by the South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation, and will host leaders from Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Maldives, and Bhutan.

Awarded Super Classic Status.
A mild spring was followed by extremely hot weather over the early and middle part of summer. Initially we thought the season might be too hot for pinot noir but the latter part of summer was quite cool, bringing things back into balance. The autumn was dry, lingering and warm. Overall, this pattern resulted in early development and maturation of the grapes but fortunately it drew out the crucial ripening period, promoting a full spectrum of ripe varietal pinot flavours and tannins with good levels of natural acidity.
This wine was made utilising the centuries old techniques that have been used to make red Burgundy. The fruit was carefully hand selected after harvest so that only the best grapes were used. These were then put into small vats, retaining as many whole berries as we could. The fruit was kept cool for several days before a natural fermentation commenced through the action of the pinot's own yeasts. The floating cap of skins was then regularly, but gently plunged by hand to keep it moist, while avoiding excessive extraction. After the fermentation ceased, the new wine was kept in contact with the remnants of the grapes for a period, the optimal duration for each vat being determined by daily tasting. The wine was then put into barriques, (40% being new) made by French artisan cooper and allowed to mature there for 18 months. In the spring after the harvest, when the weather warmed and hence the cellar temperature warmed, the wine underwent natural malo-lactic fermentation by the action of its indigenous micro-organisms. Multiple batches of pinot noir wine were made, each coming from different parts of the vineyard. This final wine was produced by blending these according to taste prior to bottling.
The wine has the rich carmine hue, typical of pinot noir, but we have purposely avoided the dark, inky colours which result from over-extraction. The aromas and flavours are a complex intertwining of fruity and savoury nuances with impressions of cherries, plums and red berry fruits, such as raspberries and blackberries. These are over-lain with hints of black olives, liquorice, coffee, grilled meats and mushrooms. There are also whispers of mocha, chocolate and cinnamon. While elegant, the wine seems to expand in the mouth and has a backbone of fine tannins and acidity which keep its structure focussed and tightly-knit. A haunting array of impressions linger on the palate well after swallowing. Although the wine is ready to drink on release, with careful cellaring it should continue to develop additional layers of complexity for 6-10 years after harvest and live well beyond.
Awarded Super Classic Status.
"The flight of Pegasus Bay Pinot Noirs continued to illustrate their burgundy influence, the reds often reminiscent of Morey-saint-Denis".
"Felton Road, along with Pegasus Bay has been my favourite pinot producer in New Zealand for years."
"The oak control is phenomenal, showing more elegance and sophistication than hundreds of Burgundies"
Pegasus Bay is the flagship winery of Waipara, yet the wines remain realistically priced. Plum, cola and cherry notes are accompanied by strongly umami sensations akin to mushroom and roasted beef, giving this wine ample complexity. While the wine is concentrated, it has an airy, graceful feel to it. Drink 2016–2024.
A sense of real depth, soothing dark cherry notes, some forest floor and deeply knitted oak. The palate has noble tannins and the sort of structural complexity and completeness that is the envy of most other NZ Pinot Noir makers" .
Full-flavoured Pinot Noir with plum, spice, glazed cherry, floral/violet and a hint of savoury and mineral character. Mouth-filling wine with obvious power and a lengthy finish. A consistently top wine.
"Fine, fresh, vivid and interesting with an assertive cherry fruit nose. Lovely supple, elegant palate shows nice precision. Lovely sweet fruit combined with spicy structure".
Lifted spicy cherry fruit on the nose with higher tones of raspberry coulis and cranberry…. Lively and driven on the palate, the red fruits show supporting characters of Asian spice and a waft of forest floor. Roast game, red licorice, milk chocolate and spicy oak complete the picture. Great line, lively acidity and a balanced, lingering finish".

That means working with individuals to build on their own skills, capacities and potential; and putting people, not professionals or governments, in charge of the services they receive.
The care industry is on the brink of a revolution. Self-directed support legislation will give people needing care the right to their own budgets with the chance to organise and control the services that might help them.
Evidence from the long-term conditions field shows that a little bit of government support, which enables sufferers to help each other, is hugely cost effective because it keeps people away from hospitals and doctors.
Alongside demographic pressure and public spending cuts, the rise in long-term conditions is a critical reason why change is needed to make our public services fit for the future. More of the same won't do.
Pioneering work on asset-based approaches which focus on people and communities has many advocates in the Scottish Government, including passionate support from the Chief Medical Officer.
Sadly, however, the usual vested interests seem intent on thwarting change.
The biggest centre of resistance to building on the assets of people and communities comes from Scottish local government. Much of it still stuck in a municipalist timewarp where the honourable tradition of the Council looking after its people was the organising principle.
The world has moved on. We must embrace self-help and assets-based work, not see it as a threat to the livelihoods of local officers.
A mindset revolution is what is needed … but all we get from COSLA are calls for more power, money and control.
Putting those who use services in charge of their own budgets and services; letting local people lead their own communities and work to their own priorities; getting the state to support people to help themselves and each other – these ought to be the new mantras for our public services.
It's what might just make them fit for the future.

FRANZ, JONAS and BIG BERTHA sounds like a start to a good fairytale. The reason why Mathias from LUDWIG & SCHERER chose these names for the exhausts in this range remain a mystery. One fact is sure though and that is that FRANZ, JONAS, BIG BERTHA and the 55''curly expansion chambers have had fairytale success, made in Germany.
All of the exhausts have been developed on the race track and optimised through many dyno' testing sessions. As a consequence most current small frame motor tuning cylinder set-ups can be completed using one of these exhaust systems. The FRANZ exhaust has been first choice for most cylinder kits for many years. It is especially suited to riders using POLINI/POLINI Evo cylinders in their small frame motor set-ups. It is most effective in releasing power reserves between the port timings of 185° and 190° from the small frame motors. Over 20 ps are usually possible. The power is harmoniously delivered over a wide engine revolution range.
The BIG BERTHA is designed for all modern cylinders with bridged exhaust ports such as the POLINI Evo or the PARMAKIT 09. Drivability and a wide power band were the desired parameters during its design. It is therefore ideal for either road or race tuning projects. The FRANZ and BIG BERTHA expansion chamber exhaust systems are both available in curly or left hand exit versions fitting the ET3 and, after minor frame modification also the PK models.
The 55'' curly exhaust has enjoyed great success on the carting race circuits in combination with the FALC cylinder kits. Early and drivable power delivery with generous amounts of torque.
The JONAS system is a tried and tested classic choice in combination with all reverse-mounted (180° rotated) cylinder kits and especially suited to the PK model setups. The kickstarter may need modification before you fit this exhaust. All of these expansion chamber exhaust systems are produced in high quality and with minimal construction tolerances.
Conclusion: Suitable weaponry for every type of cylinder setup. Perfect for ambitioned small frame motor tuning setups.
Expansion chamber / steel construction / aluminium silencers / left hand exit / 180°/reversed, curly
steel, unpainted, aluminium silencer
SIP-TIP: Using the FRANZ system in combination with a heavily ported barrel such as the 133cc Polini, the 136cc Malossi or the QUATTRINI M1L and appropriate peripheral equipment (long-stroke-crankshaft, 30 mm carburettor, V-force reed-valve etc.) more than 25 ps can be realised at the back wheel. His partners in this range of expansion chambers are also more than capable of power outputs up to 30 ps and even beyond.
GSF User Gammel (about art. no.: 22017000): Volume is ok, quieter than the POLINI, especially at tickover.
Stoffi, STOFFI-SIP Racing Team 2011 (about art. no.. 22017300 ): "We use the BERTHA on our 2011 POLINI Evo scooter. Our Markus flew to second place in the French GP race on it. This item takes off, crazy piece of kit."

There is Life in Old Maryland Yet
There Is Life In Old Maryland Yet.
Again a smothered voice speaks out,
In accents bold and strong;
How could the South our fealty doubt,
Why make us wait thus long?
We battled nobly in her cause,
Unarmed we braved the bayonet,
And still though outraged be our laws;
There's life in Old Maryland yet!
There's hope though it secretly hides
Deep in each Southern heart,
Firm and true it there abides
Safe from the Northern dart;
Where there's hope—there is life,
Nor can Yankees forget,
That for actions and strife
There's life in Old Maryland yet!
There's faith though it lurks unseen
"By their vile polluting horde"
We feel that free we once have been,
And we own no Northern lord.
Their numbers bind us in the dust,
For well they know that debt
Which they at last shall pay and must,
For there's life in Old Mary land yet!
This life is felt and still doth burn
In each far—off prison cell;
To Lafayette or Warren turn,
They both our legend tell.
Though we cower still, they soon will find
That we'll redeem our threat,
For those the base slaves dared to bind,
While there's life in Old Maryland yet.
This life blazed forth with lustre grand
Upon Manassas' gory field;
Where nobly battling hand to hand
Our Old line made the Yankees yield.
Then hasten the avenging day,
And when our foes are met,
Each Southron from his heart shall say,
There's life in Old Maryland yet!
This life still breathes, and up will spring,
When we can once more rise;
Then like an eagle on the wing,
'Twill pierce the very skies!
Remember! think! consider well,
'Twill save the South regret,
To know that 'tis truth we tell,
There's life in Old Maryland yet!
That life which smoulders now, will rise.
With a steady upward ray,
When the "Stars and Bars" shall flaunt these skies,
O'er the South's triumphant way.
We still strain wildly at our chains,
Nor can we e'er forget,
Wherein our greatest hope remains---
"There is life in Old Maryland yet!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Center for Oceanic Awareness, Research, and Education, Inc., Oakland, CA, USA
During an impetuous visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Shark Days, I was introduced to Christopher Chin, the founder of the Center for Oceanic Awareness, Research, and Education. We spoke for a while about our passions for the ocean, as well as our favorite marine species. From the get-go, I could tell that this man's passion for sharks far exceeds that of the common visitor to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. He excited me more than I realized about Chondrichthyes, and next thing I knew, I was on the volunteer list.
When the opportunity arose to work alongside Christopher Chin at World Oceans Day, this summer, I seized it immediately. We spend hours speaking to the general public, communicating the our passions for the oceans as well as shark conservation to anyone who would listen, and were quite successful in gathering signatures of California residents who supported bill AB 376.
I am proud to have worked with Mr. Chin, and would work again with him in a heartbeat.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Working with COARE educated me about sharks more than I had expected. Dialogue with Christopher Chin not only informed me, it inspired me.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would expand this organization, if only to reach and educate more of the general public.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
What one change could this group make that would improve your volunteer experience?
Definitely volunteer tee-shirts.
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
Not only did my love for sharks grow tenfold, but it reignited my activist flames, which combined well with my recent passion for education. All in all, it inspired me to keep talking to people, and to keep the conversation alive.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
I felt proud and accomplished after volunteering with COARE. I am inspired, and driven even more to protect our oceans.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

SEOUL, April 18 (UPI) -- South Korean companies' profitability dropped to 4.8 percent last year, a 9-year low blamed on the global economic slowdown, the Bank of Korea said Thursday.
The Bank of Korea, in a survey of 1,723 companies, said last year's corporate profitability -- the ratio of operating profit to sales -- fell to 4.8 percent from 5.3 percent in 2011 as the global conditions affected sales growth.
The South Korean economy, which is heavily dependent on exports, is Asia's fourth largest after China, Japan and India
The bank's survey said 2012 sales grew 5 percent on-year in 2012, down from 14.4 percent growth in 2011.
"Despite low rates, local firms refrained from borrowing as it was difficult for them to generate profits or increase investment amid the slowing economy," said Kim Kyung-hak, the bank's head of the corporate statistics team, Yonhap News reported.
The corporate performance reflected the country's slow economic growth of 2 percent in 2012. The bank's growth outlook for 2013 is 2.6 percent, while that of the government is 2.3 percent.
The bank said the slowing corporate profitability curtailed companies' capacity to cover financial costs.

Also, it comes with two custom themes, courtesy of Mandriva Linux, and some
of their patches (adopted for our build environment).
Please note that this software is considered experimental to date. Testing
in various environments (KDE/GNOME desktops, 64-bit arches, etc.) is highly
appreciated. There are some patches floating around, but let's see if they
are really required for us instead of blindly committing them.

Take a ride in a V8 Supercar3:51
Jamie Whincup takes The Advertiser's Andrew Hough on an exhilarating couple of laps at the Clipsal 500.
THE Clipsal 500's inaugural twilight race roared through the streets of Adelaide last night as the race's future was secured into the next decade.
Officials yesterday announced a new six-year deal that guarantees the four-day event will open the V8 Supercars series until at least 2021.
The multi-million dollar contract was universally hailed by the motorsport community and fans, while both political parties welcomed the economic boost.
The deal, which remains commercial in confidence, came as drivers told to the Sunday Mail why Adelaide remains the best of the racing calendar.
It was standing room only as 79,200 fans — 1000 fewer than last year's attendance — watched the first ever twilight race in glorious conditions.
Earlier, reigning V8 Supercar series champion Jamie Whincup easily beat Red Bull teammate Craig Lowndes in an action-packed race Race 1.
Organisers expect a bumper final day crowd today ahead of the only Australian performance by country music singer Keith Urban.
An exclusive survey of the V8 field by the Sunday Mail revealed how drivers believe the mixture of Adelaide's famous street circuit, electric atmosphere and passionate fans set the South Australian race apart from the rest. Lowndes described the atmosphere as electric.
"You look at the cities we race around and the circuits we go to, they don't seem to be able to reproduce what Adelaide provides in a sense it is atmosphere, it is hype and ... it is quite centralised. You look at the fan base it is quite incredible as everyone embraces it," he said.
Adelaide-born driver Tim Slade said it was a combination of factors. "It's the atmosphere and the buzz about it. Everyone really gets behind the event, and everyone's very passionate about it," he said.
"The V8 Supercar event, to me, doesn't really feel that much different to what it felt like in the Formula One days. It's still the same atmosphere, buzz and hype, so I think as an event it's the best."
V8 Supercars chief executive James Warburton announced the new contract extension with the South Australian Motor Sport Board yesterday. It was signed before the government entered caretaker mode. He also revealed a new lucrative $241 million television rights deal and ambitious plans to race up to three events overseas. He said the new Adelaide deal was a "pretty good term".
He added: "There's no doubt, this is our single biggest event of the year in terms of attendance and an absolutely fantastic way to kick the year off. For us, we'd extend for 15 years if we could. We can't think of a better way to start the season."
Clipsal 500 CEO Mark Warren said the new deal was "fantastic news for the sport and for South Australia".
"We can say that it's a good deal ... and it cements the long history we have together in growing Australia's premier motorsport category," he said.
Among the fans who basked in blazing sunshine yesterday were Ryan Morelli, 28, and Darran van der Woude, 36, who were a talking point among punters as they strutted in Grid Girl-inspired costumes — the latest in a series of outlandish outfits.
"We try to go one better every year," said Mr van der Woude, of Kingston on Murray in the Riverland. Mr Morelli, of Port Hedland in Western Australia, continued: "So this is our one better."
Garry Rogers, the Volvo team principal, also got into the fancy-dress spirit as he donned an ABBA-inspired costume and danced for the cameras.
At their first race, siblings Hamish, nine months, and Maddison Edwards, two, proved you can't be too young to enjoy watching V8s whiz round the streets.
Their mother, Kiara Edwards, of Mt Compass, said she was "absolutely stoked" the event was secured in the state for another six years.
