We all know how hard it is to not think about something after that something has been mentioned. Think: Pink Elephants. Now, don't think about Pink Elephants! Impossible, isn't it?
Now imagine being told not to think about the most notorious, evil, iconic figure of the 20th Century…as part of a game. It's twisted, it's brilliant, it's hilarious. Now, ignore Hitler.

The 12 Steps of Recovery
The 12 Step Fellowship is the approach of AA, NA, OA, (Alcoholics, Narcotics and Overeaters Anonymous). By basing your recovery on the 12 Steps you are guaranteed life-long fellowship and support through these organisations. During treatment in Monte Wellness Centre, you will develop an understanding of all 12 Steps. In Phase I you will be supported to work through and complete Steps 1-3 and in Phase II Steps 4-7. The rest of the Steps will be worked through with a 12 Step Sponsor when you leave treatment. The following are an adaptation of the 12Steps process, which give a clear description of the Step and its purpose:
The 12 Steps
Step One: We make a start by looking at past behaviours, and realising that the addiction has made life unmanageable. There must be acceptance that drinking alcohol or drug taking is no longer an option.
Step Two: We become positive about recovery and believe that with help from others, recovery can and will happen and will be worthwhile.
Step Three: We make a conscious decision to embark on a new clean and sober way of life, a way of life based on total abstinence from alcohol or drugs, and that trust must be the basis of this lifestyle.
Step Four: Cleaning the mind. We look honestly and thoroughly at our actions and behaviours in the past and the harm done to others and ourselves by those actions.
Step Five: Looking forward. By telling an understanding but non-judgemental person about all our destructive actions and behaviours, we can put the past behind, and look forward to a clean and sober future.
Step Six: We face up to the behaviour and personality traits which have been part of our addiction and which have helped maintain that addiction.
Step Seven: We make a commitment to change our behaviour and personality traits.
Step Eight: We make an honest list of people we have harmed through our addiction, and becoming willing to make up for those past behaviours.
Step Nine: We make amends to people we have harmed through our drinking or addiction, unless to do so would cause further harm.
Step Ten: On a regular basis, we should examine our motives and behaviour and ensure that they are acceptable. If they are not, then they must be changed.
Step Eleven: We take time to reflect on the way forward, and to develop meditative thought in order to allow spiritual development.
Step Twelve: Now that recovery is well under way, we need to maintain that recovery through helping others to do the same, and by following the recovery principles in every situation.
You are not alone – Addiction is a serious illness that does not discriminate and affects millions of people worldwide. Take the next step for you or a loved and request a call back for free confidential advice.

An ambitious plan has been launched to try to make Henley-on-Thames the best town in the world to live, work and visit by 2030. The Henley Business Plan, which has been published by Henley's Town Team, outlines a long-term approach to bringing investment and visitors to the town.
The plan – which is currently in draft form – aims to build on the town's already strong reputation by identifying four key themes that projects should support:-
• attracting world class businesses
• celebrating world class arts, culture and events
• retaining and increasing local spending in retail, tourism and hospitality
• investing in transport, environment and infrastructure
A number of key projects that will be taken forward under these themes over the next five years include making improvements to artisan markets, encouraging and facilitating investment in Henley Market Place Mews and in the employment sites identified in Henley Neighbourhood Plan, and developing a marketing strategy to promote Henley as a worldwide brand.
The work will also see the launch of a free town centre Wi-Fi service, projects to address car parking and transport issues in the town, stronger links between employers and skills providers, closer relationships between the town's retail and visitor industries to encourage cross promotion and a greater variety of events, greater support to encourage business development, work to encourage hotel investment in the area, and creating a wider awareness of what Henley has to offer. Henley will benefit from a share of the £150,000 investment that South Oxfordshire District Council has set aside for 'town and village infrastructure' projects, as well as project funding available to Henley to deliver its annual action plan. However the long-term vision will enable the Town Team to apply for funding from other partners.
Cllr Judith Nimmo-Smith, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Property at South Oxfordshire District Council, said: "Henley-on-Thames already has a very strong reputation around the world, however by 2030 we want the town to be regarded as the very best place to work, live and visit.
"To achieve that we need to have a long term strategy in place with everyone pushing in the same direction. The new business plan provides us with a great opportunity and I encourage people to take a look at it and then join is in trying to make this vision become a reality."
Comments on the plan are welcomed, please email the Economic Development team.
Businesses thinking about Henley as a potential location for their business should also contact the Economic Development team who can help with the provision of data, search for commercial property or land and advise on a wide range of business matters.
The Henley Town Team is comprised of the Henley Partnership, key businesses in the town, Oxfordshire County Council, South Oxfordshire District Council and Henley Town Council

Malware as a malicious software comprises of Viruses, Worms and Trojan Horses sneaking into a computer system from websites, emails and networks exploiting existing vulnerabilities. Such unscrupulous elements are not shy of going all out towards stealing a user's confidential information and other vital details.
A number of anti-malware tools have been developed in past to deal with such nuisances. But this time, Google comes out with a noble solution to alleviate the misery of techno users.
Malware protection – The Google Way
Google has come out with a solution to detect malware on sites indexed by it, using automated scanners. A tool marking websites implanted with malware as infected, in online search results. An ideal successor to a tool developed by Google way back in 2009 aimed at cautioning Network Administrators against malicious activities taking place on a website and enabling them spruce up their overall defense system.
In the overall scheme of things, Google also announced its strategy of expanding the program Safe Browsing Alerts for Network Administrators, aimed at sensitizing Website Administrators against mayhem unleashed by malicious domains. Administrators who in case were to opt for acquiring such a service would be notified of phishing URLs or malwares on their websites, in order to thwart such infections from propagating.
Although, for a webmaster it might be frustrating to discover his site is being flagged as infected due to hacking activities done without prior knowledge, Google via such a step intends to protect users across the globe against an onslaught brought on by malware.

Prospect Smith sidelined with elbow soreness
SEATTLE -- Another day in this Angels' season, another arm injury to deal with.
In what has become the defining, all-too-repetitive narrative of 2016, another starting pitcher has gone on the shelf, this one before he even got the chance to let it fly at the Major League level.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- Another day in this Angels' season, another arm injury to deal with.
In what has become the defining, all-too-repetitive narrative of 2016, another starting pitcher has gone on the shelf, this one before he even got the chance to let it fly at the Major League level.View Full Game Coverage
Nate Smith, a 25-year-old left-hander who has been the best starter at Triple-A Salt Lake of late, with a 2.49 ERA over his last four starts, and who was expected to soon make his Major League debut, was taken out of his start on Saturday night after two innings against Las Vegas because of elbow soreness.
As of Sunday morning, the club didn't have any concrete information regarding the severity of the injury, but it's just another piece of unpleasant news for a staff that has been devastated by health woes this year.
Smith is the fifth-best prospect in the system, according to MLBPipeline.com.
Three of the club's five projected 2016 starters -- Garrett Richards (torn ulnar collateral ligament), Andrew Heaney (Tommy John surgery) and C.J. Wilson (left shoulder surgery) -- are out for the year, and a host of others, starters and relievers alike (Huston Street, Cam Bedrosian, Nick Tropeano), are also gone. Starter Tyler Skaggs didn't come back from his elbow woes until recently. Reliever Cory Rasmus (groin) had surgery in July and is slated to get back to simulated game work Monday in Arizona.
The team wanted to get a look at Smith and recent trade acquisition Alex Meyer in September as it prepares for the offseason and planning for 2017. Meyer will get the ball Wednesday in Oakland in his Angels bow, but Smith's big-league debut now appears to be on hold.
"I don't know if there's any silver lining to what has gone on," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "I think any Major League team, when you set your depth chart, there are definitely some things that you know you have to absorb.
"Sometimes when you're in a position like we are and you lose four guys [Richards, Wilson, Heaney, Tropeano] you were counting on to being part of your starting rotation that don't get there, and really a fifth guy [Skaggs] that we thought was going to be there at the end of April and he showed up mid-season, I don't think any organization is braced for that. You can't have that much depth in your Minor Leagues to bring up a whole new rotation. And that's kind of what we're battling with right now."
Escobar out of lineup: Third baseman and leadoff man Yunel Escobar was not in Sunday's lineup after taking a 94 mph Taijuan Walker fastball off the back of his left hand on the first pitch of the game Saturday night. X-rays were negative and Scioscia said Escobar was "a little sore" but remained day-to-day.
"We'll see how he feels tomorrow," Scioscia said.
Angels claim pitcher: The Angels claimed right-hander Daniel Wright on waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. Wright, who has been mostly a starter in the Minor Leagues, has made four big league appearances this year for the Reds, with two starts. He has a 7.62 ERA in the Majors and a 4.44 ERA in the Minors. The Angels have not yet announced a 40-man-roster move to make room for Wright.
Robinson back soon: Outfielder Shane Robinson, who's been on the disabled list with a hip flexor injury, came out of Saturday night's rehab game with Salt Lake in good order. Scioscia said he should be activated sometime in Oakland.

COMOY'S Guildhall296B
An amazing Comoy's product made during the last pre-Cadogan period (1950-70's). Among others Comoy's brands and subbrands Guildhalls are always an object of a special interest and attraction of collectors from many countries - who knows because of the glory and authority of the manufacturer or because of a mystery aura of the three metallic stripes?
The pipe markings are "The \ GUILDHAL \ LONDON MADE", "MADE \ IN \ LONDON \ ENGLAND", "296B". The length is 14.4 cm (5.67"), bowl's height is 4.5 cm (1.77"). External diameter of the bowl is 3.4 cm (1.34"), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71"). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54") and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. There was a small sign of the neat crack in the shank therefore we have banded the pipe. The original stem has some age related tiny dots thus we add the spare stem to the pipe for your convenience.

text: 01 02 03 Perfecting the Homefront: We are buying a house! 04 05 23 24 25 We are buying a house! 34 So so so excited to finally blog a little bit about our new home. Yes, we are buying a house! It has been a loooooong journey but we are approaching the last leg. Before closing I thought I would share the progress up until now. In the fall my husband and I decided to buy a house. I love the area we live in now and prices are just going to continue to rise so we decided to get in before it got any more expensive. After looking around and weighing our options we decided to buy into a new community that is under construction. We are toward the beginning of the phases so prices are a little lower then if we were to buy into the final phases of building. We will have to deal with construction for awhile but it will be worth it in the end! Breaking ground on our foundation The first part of the journey was more difficult then normal because my husband was deployed when picking the floor plan. It's a good thing he trusts me! I walked through the options and settled on the smaller 3 bed 2 1/2 bath option. It was more in our price range and I loved the layout of the house. After getting the ok from my husband we went under contract in November. He came home a few weeks later and thank goodness he loved the house as much as I did! The next step (and the fun part) was getting to pick out all the options! Our house is semi-custom so we didn't get to pick out everything put the big ticket items are what we wanted. We chose tile, flooring, cabinets and extra lighting options. It's so fun to pick out exactly what we want! There of course was a limit to the options but I think I am excited to see it all together. We can update the standard options ourselves once we move in such as mirrors and lighting. Here is what we decided on. We picked distressed floors, white cabinets, a grey subway tile, and quartz counters for the kitchen. For the master bed and bathroom we picked the same floors, white subway tile, and a marble shower floor. I originally wanted a shaker style cabinet door and a white backsplash but my husband was not into the white on white and wanted a more traditional style cabinet. Since it is his house too I caved and changed a few things for him. It will still look amazing though! Now it is just a waiting game. We have gotten to see the house in different stages which has been a fun experience. Here is the progression. I wasn't able to get close right away so some of the shots aren't great but you get the idea. Our house is the very end one. We got to see the inside at this stage and did our electric walk through. That will become our kitchen island Looking from the front entry into the open downstairs Then things really picked up with the start of all the finishes. The one thing we did not get to pick out was the outside color. I was disappointed about that because I really wanted the model colors which were grey and white to match the inside decor but I am learning to live with the colors. Here is a quick sneak peek at the inside! I'll be posting much more once we close and start decorating. It has been a long 6 months waiting but its almost time! We should be closing and moving in the next month and I can not wait. This is the most recent picture we have. They just have a few finishing touches to do and it will be done! We are at the end of our phase so we do have construction going on next door which we will have to deal with for a month or two but hopefully it won't be too bad. We will not be able to do much to the back yard until that's done. So there you have it! I could not be more excited to be in our own place where I can finally spread out and do whatever I want. I can't wait to put our personal touch of the inside. I will keep you updated on the progress and I look forward to sharing projects and tips once we move in! 35 36 37 38

You JUST killed malygos on the 19th, "good" guilds killed them 2-3 weeks ago.
Hence why we're recuiting...we have a lot of skilled players and need more so we can compete with the top guilds. What we want is to create a 25man core group and we're nearly there, just need a few more dedicated and good players.
If that's what you're looking for check us out!

Its called Conca dei Marini (seafarers basin) but a more appropriate name would be Conca di Cielo (heavens basin). In other words, there is a touch of the divine in this village. Its houses are not amassed, but scattered here and there, and they are all surrounded by greenery; they are neither tall nor haughty, they are one-family homes built simply in accordance with tradition: small cushion-shaped cupolas, small roofed balconies, and external stairs. They are white, their thick walls have rounded edges, and are not framed by eaves. From the sea one can pick them out quite easily because Conca is like a large book laid open on the hills as if on a book-rest. Originally this land was called Cossa and scholars say that it was a province of ancient Rome. It is small, but perhaps one day is not enough to visit it.
The Emerald Grotto (Grotta dello Smeraldo) is situated in the enchanting bay of Conca dei Marini, 4 kilometres outside Amalfi. It can be approached either from the highway, by elevator or stairway, or from the sea. From the quay by the entrance a raft leads into the cave which, as if by a spell, is transformed into a fantastic emerald temple, richly adorned with carytids, figures and bas-reliefs: the work of the millennia and the water dripping from the roof. The cave communicates with the sea through a narrow aperture below sea level and the light, filtering through the water, creates an unreal atmosphere. (60x30x24 metres).

This is, of course, because I am one but I want to always evaluate the value to the customer and not just to the contractor. I have been on many calls that only took two different sevice calls in one year and the whole year's premium would be used up. A home warranty generally protects your cost by the fact that you only have to pay a small service fee per call and the home warranty covers the rest. Often, the service fee is only about half of the smallest service call.
When choosing a home warranty, always consider their claim coverages by checking with someone who has the same company and call them and ask them their experience with the company and how well do they pay claims. From my side of things, as the contractor, "First American" pays in a very timely fashion. They also rarely turn down paying for repairs. I worked for the some of the other home warranty companies, and they seem to have tried everything to deny a claim. The fact is sometimes with certain home warranty companies, I wonder what they will cover. Home warranty companies are essentionally insurance companies and the same thing applies. It's not just how cheap is the premium, but also how well do they pay their claims. This is why I say that First American is one of the best home warranty companies and my favorite one to work with. The only thing that really bites about home warranty companies is: They are the ones to make the decision as to whether to repair or replace. Most often it is always to repair and repair and repair. Also though, when it comes to replace, you are at their mercy as to what type of component they will replace with. Most often they use the least expensive item they can buy. There is usually one option given you if you do not want to have the replacement item be chosen for you. Most companies offer what is called a buy out. This is the cost of the replacement item including the labor will be paid to you in a check and you can contract anyone you would like to put in whatever component you would like. Of course, you will likely be adding more than twice the buyout amount to put in a quality item including the labor. But one must remember, any amount that you get is more than what you would have to take off of the bill had you had no home warranty company. Often, I find that it is a very good deal to have a home warranty especially if it is a good company.

New gear and packed
7 July 2017
454, but I'm still Zeroing in Missouri.
In two days, I'm getting on a jet plane and heading to Maine to resume my Thru Hike. I've been home for more time than I planned, but that's what happens when you get injured.
During my time off, I've had to adjust my hiking plans. I'll now be a Flip Flopper vs a NoBo. Also, I've picked up some new gear while here. There's nothing like a good internet connection and access to Amazon for growing your gear.
New Gear
While I've been recuperating (aka sitting on my butt), I realized I might need some new gear.
Since Joiner (my GSMNP hiking buddy) told me he didn't know of anyone who completed a Thru Hike with a Jetboil stove, it made me start the hunt for a lighter weight stove. I found many UL stoves, but when you added the new stove and a pot…the price started adding up. AND…the weight savings wasn't that much. So…I'm staying with my Jetboil! Hopefully, I'll be the 1st Jetboil users to thru hike.
Additionally, I contemplated a new tent, but didn't end up buying one. While I like my free standing REI Quarter Dome 2, it is a little heavy. Therefore, I looked at hammocks and other tent designs, but realized I like a free standing tent. Also, the addition cost for a few ounces left me with buyers remorse before buying so I skipped going lighter. However, ditin mu research I found the hammocks don't really save weight. With the tree straps, tarp, stakes, etc…the weight adds up quickly.
So then I looked for ways to drop ounces from my tent package…Like the use of carbon fiber tent poles and stakes. I even looked at some DIY options by making them from archery arrows. Check out YouTube…many good videos to show you how. However, the lack of strength in this DIY design and the fact that carbon fiber breakage creates a total pole failure, I decided the aluminum poles and stakes where worth the added weight.
Finally, I considered, again didn't purchase, a new pack. After a lot of contemplating and research, I decided the Gossamer Gear Mariposa was the one! However, after a little adjustment with p-cord, I believe I have been able to fix my Osprey Exos 58 waist belt issue. However, only time (and additional weight loss) will tell. If it doesn't work…Gossamer will get my business.
So…the only things I ended up purchasing were replacement clothes.
My Frogg Toggs didn't work. I split the crotch in Gatlinburg and I torn up the jacket later on. While a good price at $29, they didn't breath (you sweat profusely in them) and they tear easily. That lead me to an online sale at Eastern Mountain Sports (ems.com) for the Outdoor Reasearch (OR) Helium II rain jacket. I also ordered the OR Helium pants from REI, but no deal here…full price was paid. Good thing I'll get some dividends from that purchase.
After hiking 454 miles in Altra Lone Peaks, I realized these shoes were not doing my feet any favors. In fact, I have some numbness from wearing the zero drop shoes. So I've returned to a known good which has done well for me during 3 marathons. I'm now back in a Hoka. However, this time I'm chosen a hiking high top design. We'll have to see how it works, but I hopeful it's all good.
Finally, because of the high top shoe, I had to buy new Darn Tough socks. My 1/4 socks just didn't come up high enough to protect my ankle skin.
With that bright green jacket and bright orange shoes, you can see me from miles away. A good thing if I need a rescue helicopter to pick me up.
New Plan
Since I'm now heading SoBo, I've had to review my guide book. Today (and tomorrow) I'll finish marking it up with notes. I will continually need to read backwards to watch where the next water source and campsite are. It will take some getting used yo.
Thanks Cindy Loo Who (Shauna Riddensdale) for the info on color coding the guide book. I wish you could purchase it already color coded…that would have saved me time.
I've even taken the time to mark my NEW 100 mile markers since it won't match with trail mileage. So now at every ##46 I'll be at another 100 miles.
New Suitcase
Today was packing day for my flight. Since the TSA is very particular about items in the cabin, I'll have to check a bag. While many hikers have successfully had their stakes and trekking poles allowed in their carry on bags, I didn't want to chance it.
So I headed over to the local Thrift Store and purchased this bag for 25 cents! That was the bargain of the century.
Since I have 10 days of food for the 100 Mile Wilderness, this bag was the right size.
And boy did I load it FULL.
It was overflowing too…
That's a LOT of crap to put in my pack.
BTW I added a DIY food coozy and seating pad to my gear. Since it's made from reflectix, it's almost zero added weight. Also, I added p-cord to my crocs to aid in fording the riverd. No need in chasing a floating croc down river when the current takes it off my foot.
As for food, Ramen and Yakasobi noddles work well for my dinners. However, lunch hasn't worked well for me. So for the first 12 days I'm going to eat beef jerky for lunch. That will give me some needed protien and hopefully I won't quickly tire of it. I've also added some peanut butter crackers for a snack and some chex mix. I hope it works!
However, tomorrow I tie up some loose ends and try to get some rest before my long travel day on Sunday. It'll be up at 0300 to drive 2 hours to the airport before jumping on my flight.
It's a good thing I have Monday as a rest day before tackling Mt Katahdin on Tuesday.
It's been great being home with myWife. I really enjoyed the July 4th parade with my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.
However, I have 1700 miles remaining and they're not getting done with me in Missouri.

Glad to hear that you are about to head out. Hope your health issue is resolved. The rest surely allowed your legs, and rest of the body, to recover. Pleased that you were able to modify your Osprey pack with cord, which will be easier on the rear. Hope my suggestions were helpful. It bothers me that so many products, even expensive ones from reputable companies are not designed or manufactured as well as they could be. In any case, onward.
Your suggestion worked great! I have addec a strap as a load lifter for the pack.
Legs feeling pretty good, but still some nerve sensations.
I'll just take it easy for a few weeks in Maine.
I believe Gary "Green Giant" Sizer, author of "Where's the Next Shelter," carried a JetBoil on his successful thru-hike. Best of luck and happy trails.

Weather: damp, standing water in places.
There'd been a brief but torrential downpour about half an
hour before the second F3 race of the day at Castle Combe
(yes, the mid-Summer meeting, folks - don't you just love
English weather?). It looked as if it would certainly rain
again before the afternoon was out, but it had at least stopped
some while back. Consequently everyone lined up on the grid
with wets strapped on. One or two of the drivers seemed to
be in two minds about this, but in the usual manner, if no
one else was about to change tyres, then they wouldn't either,
and you can see where that sort of thinking leads, can't you?
Yep. No one was changing to slicks. To be fair, with about
three minutes to go, someone at Piquet Sports took the decision
that Nelson A Piquet would be better off on slicks, and so
the mechanics went and got the tyres and returned to the start
line with them, by which time it was way too late to bolt
them on
It seemed somehow very Brazilian.
Right at the back of the grid, Bruce Jouanny was trying very
hard to explain something to Promatecme F3's Vasilije Calasan.
As various team members also joined in, it became obvious
that he wasn't getting the message. Meanwhile, the track surface
was starting to dry, but the multiple undulations (Danny Watts'
word of the day!) were still full of rainwater. This had the
look of a race that would probably end up being run behind
the Safety Car for at least part of the 20-lap distance. Oh,
and that rule had also changed again, with laps behind Safety
Car no longer being added on to the scheduled distance (up
to a maximum of three laps).
When the race finally started, and the starting gantry lights
glowed red and then went out, both Adam Carroll and Ernesto
Viso bogged down badly, both P1 drivers finding that Alvaro
Parente (Carlin Motorsport) was far more awake than them,
and more to the point he was in the lead long before they
went streaking into Quarry. Someone had a moment there, and
though it was impossible to tell who it was in the giant ball
of spray that constituted most of the field, it certainly
wasn't any of the top three. In fact, when the dust - or should
that be spray - finally cleared there was no one there, which
was a bit odd.
The trouble, in fact, started a lap later for once. Fighting
for 6th place behind Clivio Piccione (Carlin Motorsport),
Piquet had a go at James Rossiter (Fortec Motorsport) as the
pair of them neared Camp. It all went wrong at that point,
and the Brazilian's lilac-painted car speared off into the
cornfield opposite the pits. He stayed with it for a while,
revving frantically and throwing grass in a great arc. Then
he gave up, got out and started trying to drag the Dallara
back towards the track, pulling it by its front wing. Eventually,
it became clear he was wasting his time, and he finally sat
down for a while, before running across the track back to
the pits, his race over.
Meanwhile, Parente was starting to make a break for it, while
Carroll was suffering from déjà vu as he'd once
again got Viso looming large in his mirrors. Watts was the
one keeping his distance this time, as he let the P1 boys
get on with their own personal vendetta. Elsewhere, the rate
of attrition was about to increase. Andrew Thompson (Hitech
Racing) lost a place to his teammate Lucas di Grassi, only
to go off at Old Paddock and clobber the barriers hard. On
the same lap, Calasan went off at Tower and ripped the wheels
off his Dallara. You had to wonder how he could have done
that amount of damage, given how fast he usually goes.
Di Grassi then turned his attention to Ryan Lewis (T-Sport),
the Scholarship Class leader wisely not making an issue of
it, allowing the Brazilian through neatly and efficiently).
At the front, while Parente escaped from their clutches, Viso
was now speeding up, and Carroll had to work very hard to
keep him at bay. However, it was clear that there weren't
going to be any further changes anytime soon, whatever di
Grassi and Viso thought.
Parente was still leading, from Carroll, Viso, Watts, Piccione,
Rossiter, Fairuz Fauzy (Menu Motorsport), Danilo Dirani (Carlin
Motorsport), Will Power (Alan Docking Racing) and Marko Asmer
(Hitech Racing). In 11th was Karun Chandhok (T-Sport), ahead
of di Grassi, Lewis, James Walker (Hitech Racing), Stephen
Jelley (Performance) who was 2nd in the Scholarship Class,
and last of all, Marcus Marshall (Fortec Motorsport). And
so it stayed, until around half distance, by which time the
top three were desperately looking for wet parts of the circuit
in an effort to keep their tyres cool now that the track surface
was beginning to dry rapidly. Interestingly, Watts wasn't
looking for puddles, which suggests that tyre wear on a Lola
is significantly different to that of the Dallaras. It makes
you think
By lap 10, Parente's lead had reduced substantially, and Carroll,
Viso, Watts and Piccione were all right with him. Rossiter
was a long way back, though it's unlikely that that information
cheered Parente at all, or Viso for that matter, when it all
went badly awry at Tower and the Venezuelan crashed out of
what he clearly believes will be his last ever Formula Three
race - this wasn't how he'd intended going out. With the rain
starting to fall again, and a number of cars parked at odd
places round the track, it was beginning to seem as if the
Safety Car might well be needed, very much in line with our
pre-race predictions.
However, it took another three laps before the Safety Car
lights came on, indicating that it was ready to go out on
the track. Even then, it took another lap before the order
was given, which must have really frustrated Piccione. More
than something of a wet weather specialist, the Monegasque
was thoroughly enjoying himself, and more to the point was
beginning to menace Watts convincingly, Watts having replaced
Viso as the image in Carroll's mirrors. Now he would have
to back off. Asmer, too, had been having fun, setting the
fastest lap of the race just as the Safety Car picked up the
field, and beginning to threaten Power.
While the Safety Car led the field round, three breakdown
trucks and a course car appeared and had their own race to
the various corners, the slowest presumably failing to catch
a Dallara, as it finally returned with just an empty flatbed.
And so, for four laps, they followed the Safety Car round,
with Parente still in the lead, from Carroll, Watts and Piccione.
Rossiter was 5th, from Fauzy, Dirani, Power, Asmer and di
Grassi. Chandhok was now 11th, with teammate Lewis behind
him, while Walker, Jelley and Marshall occupied the remaining
three slots. For a while, it seemed that the rest of the race
might well be run behind the Safety Car, which wouldn't have
been a bad thing in some respects. However, at the end of
lap 17 the Safety Car's lights went out and it pulled off,
leaving us with the worrying prospect of a three-lap sprint
to the finish.
Parente controlled the restart beautifully, and everyone behaved
impeccably this time, unlike at Knockhill. The Portuguese
was well away again, while Piccione was now pushing very hard.
However, catching Watts in the time available might have been
possible, but passing him didn't look plausible at all, not
with less than three laps left now. The tyres would be cold
after four very slow laps, even though the rain had stopped
again and the track was once again starting to dry out. The
fact that the going was still very slippery became apparent
on the penultimate lap, when Power attempted to pull an overtaking
move on Dirani as they headed through Camp, and the two of
them pitched into a very stately series of pirouettes, that
ended when Dirani hit the wall on the outside of the track.
They both got going again, and Power drove away, 6 places
further down than he had been when he'd started the move.
Dirani, on the other hand, was not so lucky. He also managed
to keep the engine running, but when he started to try and
rejoin the race it quickly became apparent that he had broken
the suspension on his Dallara. The only he would achieve by
continuing would be to drive in an ever-shrinking circle,
presumably till he vanished up his own exhaust pipes. It was
a shame to lose a place through no fault of his own, though
at least his wasn't the last accident of the race. That dubious
honour fell to Walker, who managed to go off in pretty much
the same place as Dirani, but without the assistance of Power,
or anyone else for that matter. He did this all on his own,
on the very last corner of the last lap. It didn't look too
Meanwhile, Parente continued on to the chequered flag, to
become the 8th winner of the season (from 12 races), and the
third and final Carlin driver to win a race this year. He
was quietly delighted afterwards, as was Carroll when he realise
his 2nd place means he is now within 5 points of Piquet in
the championship fight. Watts was 3rd, and he, Promatecme
and the Lola project team were all justifiably pleased with
themselves after a rewarding weekend in Wiltshire. Piccione
was 4th, finally looking like the winner he should be, though
it may be too late for him to salvage much from this season,
and Rossiter was 5th (with an additional point for fastest
lap). 6th was Fauzy from Asmer, who snagged himself some much-needed
points. In 8th place was di Grassi, just ahead of Chandhok,
who didn't have much to show for his weekend, despite most
of India being present to support him. 10th overall - and,
needless to say, the Scholarship Class winner - was Lewis,
ahead of Jelley, while 10th in the Championship Class, but
12th overall, was Walker. The final two places went to Power
and Marshall, so clearly there is no longer any luck to go
round the Australians anymore. Perhaps Davison took it away
with him.
Oh, and in case you need to ask, Lewis got the point for fastest
lap in the Scholarship Class.
