You're watching the 2006 Rallye International du Valais near Martigny and Sion, Switzerland. The jump in question isn't taken particularly fast, nor does it launch the cars very far.
The jump launches the cars high and short, bottoming out their suspension. that's not good for car control, and that's especially not good when you have a stone wall on your left and a cliff drop on your right.
As our own Bullitt Ride said, this is when you trust your navigator and thank your pacenotes.

This is my pet bird! He cute, ain't he?!?! I'm happy I got good angle, lighting and focus on this one.

HypocriteWhere do you hide
Where do you run
When you find you can't trust to point your own gun
You don't feel that you know
You can't move you can't go
Feeling trapped...
By your own...
Image you take
Image you make
Is self destroying, on way to break
Your psyche your soul
It's taking a toll
And yet...you're the only one...
That can tell...
That can know...
Infinite knowledge, power and fame
How others see you is partly to blame
We can't live in a world where nothing is judged
Find the right balance 'tween morals and sludge
Be who you are, speak truthfully
Don't pose as a person you're not meant to be.
A DragonFor a moment I saw a dragon
Screaming across the sky
For a moment I saw a dragon
Pumping its wings to fly
For a moment I saw a dragon
With bright blue shining eyes
For a moment I saw a dragon
Then the clouds waved me goodbye.
DreamsEveryone dreams.
They say we do.
It's just that, sometimes, we don't remember.
My dreams are...
Yet recognized the few times I ever have them.
Well, I mean, remember them.
And then actually follow through with them.

SHI Offshore Projects Use Intergraph SmartMarine 3D
Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries extends application of next-generation 3D engineering technology to its offshore projects. SHI has been a longtime user of the industry-leading solution, deploying it in full production within its Shipbuilding division, and has now extended the use of SmartMarine 3D for its offshore projects. SmartMarine 3D's automated, rule-based technology has enabled SHI to achieve its objective of delivering a higher volume of the most complex and technically advanced vessels on the market today. Due to the success of SmartMarine 3D for its shipbuilding projects, SHI decided to implement the next-generation solution for its offshore projects as well. SHI deployed SmartMarine 3D successfully for its pilot project, and has since applied the Intergraph solution for its current offshore projects. SmartMarine 3D has delivered significant productivity gains by helping SHI to streamline its design process, reducing production man-hours and project costs. Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, "We are pleased to further extend our partnership with SHI, one of the world's leading engineering companies. Intergraph has been working closely with SHI to continue enhancing SmartMarine 3D for the industry, and SHI's expansion of SmartMarine 3D into its Offshore division will help SHI deliver increased safety, quality and productivity for both its offshore and marine projects."

Our apologies, due to a technical glitch this is a day late — so stat gurus don't freak out when it says Ovechkin has five goals. We know he scored twice last night, but to keep this consistent for Thursdays we are going with stats of the second week.

Last year the Oilers rolled into the Windy City feeling pretty good about themselves toting a perfect 4-0 record. Dwayne Roloson got his first start of the season that night, which was also a Wednesday, but Nikolai Khabibulin was the star earning a 3-0 win.

For the second straight game v. the Flames the Oilers gave up a goal in the final minute, and this morning they find themselves already five points behind the Flames.

Product description
The last of the Sprawl trilogy: the AIs of Neuromancer have suffered a traumatized, cataclysmic coming to self-awareness and now haunt cyberspace as voodoo powers. Mona's pimp sells her to a plastic surgeon in New York and she's turned overnight into someone else. The pimp winds up dead. Mona weeps for him. She's a sweet, dumb girl...so far. Angie the famous Hollywood stim star has started remembering things. Despite the efforts of studio bosses to keep her in ignorance, Angie will discover who she really is...and why she doesn't need to jack into the Matrix in order to enter cyberspace. In the depths of the rustbelt, the ring of steel garbage and toxic waste surrounding the Sprawl, Gentry obsessively seeks the darkest secrets of the Matrix. Seeking rapture. When an impossibly tall and powerful skyscraper of data appears suddenly in the landscape of the Matrix, Gentry is ready for it, Angie is part of it, and Mona is set for overdrive. Rapture is on the agenda for all three, but others greedy for money and power will fight them to the death.

Author information
William Gibson was born in the United States in 1948. In 1972 he moved to Vancouver, Canada, after four years spent in Toronto. He is married with two children.
Editorial reviews
Another brilliant, gritty, densely textured novel from the author of Neuromancer (paperback, 1984; Hugo, Nebula, P.K. Dick awards) and Count Zero (1986). From elements of the previous novels, Gibson spins three story lines, knitting them together about 15 years after the close of Count Zero. Angle Mitchell, whose scientist father customized her brain to link directly (if unwillingly) to the consensual hallucination of cyberspace, is now the Sense/Net star. Her lover, Bobby Newmark, Count Zero, has recently disappeared. Jacked into a massive biochip, his unconscious, dying body is brought to the Factory, an abandoned industrial site located on toxic landfill in New Jersey. There, Gentry, a seeker obsessed with the shape of cyberspace (which parallels Bobby's search for the truth of When It Changed - the moment when cyberspace became aware of itself, generating independent Als within the matrix), recognizes the biochip as a key to his quest. Molly, the augmented mercenary of Neuromancer, involved in a plot to kidnap Angle, brings her together with Mona, a young junkie and Angle look-alike, and then to the Factory - where. in an uncharacteristically fantastic sequence, Angle joins Bobby in the synthetic reality of cyberspace (and we receive hints of a truly innovative First Contact). As usual with Gibson, the point here is not so much the plot as the future in which it unfolds - and the remarkably accomplished prose with which he reveals it. This one probably won't win over any new fans, but the many extant will be delighted. (Kirkus Reviews)
