2015 Mercedes Benz Amg Gt3
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3
Mercedes-AMG testament band in the 2015 motorsport harden at the first of Marchland with the heavy vocalize of the V8 locomotive: the new Mercedes-AMG GT3, with which the Mercedes-Benz sports car and high-performance blade is consistently expanding its motorsports mien, volition be fashioning its launching show at the 2015 Hollands Drive Read. Highly-developed to follow with the FIA's GT3 run rules, the racer bequeath contend in the man's nearly heatedly contested client run serial. Up-to-date racing engineering and prominent invention preordain the new contender for victories. The new GT3 is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT, which is organism launched in fair a few years' sentence. Chase an intensifier exam form, the new AMG racer leave be shipped to the get-go client teams at the end of 2015.
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 bequeath blazing new trails in client sports with its reasoning fomite conception. The fantabulous track execution of the criterion GT already provides the outflank potential foundation for this. "We are ingress a hard-fought and heatedly contested private-enterprise surroundings with the new Mercedes-AMG GT3. The gamy technical received and sightly airstream rules are prod us on to thrust to proceeds rod office with our new client racer. You can sole dedicate believable substantiation of your ambitiousness to leading if you're trouncing the rattling outflank in the stake," commented Tobias Moers, Chairwoman of the Panel of Direction of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
The stock Mercedes-AMG GT already provides the saint prerequisites for the GT3 racing manakin, with its low core of graveness, double-dyed dispersion of burthen and blanket raceway breadth. For this layout guarantees accurate cornering properties, gamy sidelong speedup, splendid nimbleness, a highschool storey of grip and low inactivity when having to vary focus flying. On the dissimilar run circuits, all of these attributes dedicate the driver the advantages necessity to attain top placements.
2015 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3
Evening at a stand, the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 is the incarnation of undiluted might. Its matted paintwork in designo selenite grayish magno covers the powerful contours comparable a s bark. The widened fomite consistency, the prominent air intakes, the diffusor and the brobdingnagian ass airfoil all signalize a trust to approach. Every adjustment to the bodywork has been made for the determination of maximizing might turnout and sleek execution.
As in the route passing variant, the fomite construction of the GT3 consists of a identical jackanapes yet super fixed aluminum spaceframe, oblation salient shelter for the driver. The driver is encourage saved by the bouncy carbon-fibre buns pan and an built-in roll-over coop made from high-tensile blade. In rescript to slenderize the fomite weighting foster lull, the locomotive concealment, doors, breast annexe, battlefront and bum aprons, sidewalls, english skirts, diffusor, kicking lid and back airfoil are all made from especially jackanapes yet high-strength carbon-fibre.
Cutting-edge motorsports technology for maximum performance
Knock-down speedup is ensured by the veteran and now encourage enhanced AMG 6.3-litre V8 locomotive interpreted from the SLS AMG GT3. User-friendly engineering, first-class reliableness, farsighted upkeep intervals and the high-revving course aspirated locomotive with low working costs made it the locomotive of prime for the new AMG client sports framework. The six-speed consecutive racing gearbox for the GT3 is – as is the showcase in the measure GT – mounted in a transaxle constellation on the arse axle, thereby facilitating optimal burthen dispersion. They too suffer double-wishbone dangling – made nigh whole from aluminum – in vernacular. These solutions again establish how tight coupled veritable product engineering and racing engineering are at AMG.

Summary: Rocsi was anorexic in high school. She was a flyer in cheerleading so she thought that she had to be thin. She overexercised, restricted, took diet pills, and tried unsuccessfully to make herself vomit. She mentions her stats in the video... damn.
She also touches on how people think that minorities don't get ED's. Rocsi is Black Latina by the way. I think.
It's a pretty good interview. And Dammit, Rocsi annoys the hell out of me (especially when she smiles so hard and back when her hair was blonde), but the interview is very emotional for her and I REALLY have respect for her now.
Rocsi from 106 & Park talking about her struggle with anorexia.
And, if you have time, read through the ignorant comments at the bottom. Those types of comments are what I like to refer to as "Exhibit A".
ex: "lmao @ oochie coochie and goons!!!!!!!!!
yo oochie coochie, how many anorexic people do you see in the 106 & park audience? NONE! lol lol i don't know any anorexic black chick, sorry!"
"ok…i might sound like the most evil person out there, but I don't feel bad for people who suffer from anorexia or bullemia. Just like I don't feel bad for drug addicts. This is something you made the decision to do. If you can get better, that's a wonderful thing, but I can't pity someone who is doing danger to their own body on purpose. JMO"
& Some intelligent person snuck in:
"I really respect Rocsi for coming out and speaking about this issue. You people may say you don't know anyone who suffers from an ed, but u just might! This is not something that people announce through the loudspeaker, it is usually kept a deep dark secret with every measure taken to hide the disease. I mean look at Kyle from College Hill South Beach, that's a fat black man who was bulimic. I have suffered frm an ed for 9 yrs and yes I am black! I have also had 2 black friends who suffered from a form of the disease. It is not a disease specific to white people but ur ignorance on the subject is what keeps alot of blacks from coming forward and seeking help(because its a WHITE disease). I also bet some of ur fav celebs on this site r dealing with some form of the disease maybe someone under this post."

ED: Anorexia/EDNOS for over 10 years. I guess I am currently EDNOS seeing as I am just above the line of being underweight (BMI) and therefore do not fit into the category of anorexic.
Feelings on the issues of race/ethnicity and ED's: Like many other things in my life, including my disorder, people of many different races assume that I dont fit into a "stereotype" for my race. This includes my exterior look and streams all the way into the interior with my disorder and other mental health issues. Racial stereotypes are one of my biggest pet peeves and I dislike greatly when they are directed at me. To the naked eye I am a "black girl," therefore people question and get confused of why I have so many tattoos, had long (to the hip) length hair my whole life until recently (that was real), why I listen to the music I do or dress the way I do. When in reality not only do I identify in my personal life more with my Native American heritage, but because I "look black" I am supposed to want to be "thick," wear big jeans, and have big breasts. I have a severe peter pan complex in a purely physical fashion, desire no breasts, no hips, no body at all. I wish to be weightless, nothing and to disappear completely. I believe the less I am the more personal value I hold. The physical act of eating and the physical feeling of being full triggers my post traumatic stress.
Not related to your ED or other mental health issues: (Check my profile). I love to write. I am an artist. I am in art school. I am a professional journalistic/live music photographer and becoming a professional graphic designer. I love to paint and write letters. I love music, all kinds, and I appreciate all sound. I play the keyboard/piano, dabble in the guitar, and have been singing ever since I could talk. I also of course write music. I love philosophy. I am in love with a man who I will be in love with forever. We have been together almost 2 years and are one person. I hate that Im addicted to the internet, I really do. I may be a brilliant conversationalist, a starlet, a sage philosopher, the messiah. I may not. Find out? I crave love and catharsis and nonsense. I want to answer life's big questions and make peoples knees buckle.
- Current Mood:awake
Have any of these experiences contributed to the development of your disordered eating?
I'll start off with an example and then I'll post some more later:
Southern US Foods:
I'm from Virginia (which is not as Southern as it likes to pretend that it is, but whatever), and there are certain foods that are stereotypically Southern that we're supposed to like. Chitterlings for example, are a food that I had never tasted until last year. Chitterlings are pig intestines and for the longest time I had to endure sayings like "You don't like chitlins? Well, you're not Southern then." or "Chitterlings are soul food. How can you not like them?" I mean, do all Japanese like sushi? If one of them doesn't are they not Japanese?
So I tried chitterlings and my worst fears were confirmed - they taste exactly like they smell, look, and sound. There is no excuse for chitterlings. None.
I think part of my bulimia has to do with me being torn over not wanting to gain weight or be full, but still wanting to eat foods that are a tradition in my area. I don't want cold stares because I'm the only black girl at the cook out who's not eating the Bojangle's, the Brunswick stew (just no), the catfish, and whatever the hell butter beans are. There's the pressure from my culture and my surroundings pushing on one side and the voice in the back of my head pushing on the other side.
I just pulled out like 6 eye lashes a once. :( I'm going to make some tags.

Feelings on the issues of race/ethnicity and ED's: I personally believe that race shouldn't have to matter in any type of situation in life. Society these days disgusts me. You have to dress a certain way, look a certain way act a specific way due to your race; which I think is totally lame. People are all put into little categories depending on how they look. One person takes a look at you and they already know you; I hate that.
I've had this eating disorder for a little over a year I suppose; along with it I suffer from depression so I tend to keep to myself most of the time. I usually listen to heavy metal or screamo because at that very moment I just feel that way…and people are always so shocked to find out I listen to that type of music, just because I'm black *scoffs* I find it ridiculous. I've kept my whole ED thing to myself because no one in my whole family has ever suffered from anything like this. Besides my mom has to deal with my depression; that's bad enough.
Not related to your ED or other mental health issues: I love to read and write. I write poetry, lyrics, stories and I'm working on a screenplay. I'm also planning on writing a book. I love photography and fashion; it's just amazing in its own way. I'm going to be starting a course in psychology really soon; psychology fascinates me. I am bi as well; I never really had a girlfriend though…that's what happens when boys break your heart one too many times *sighs*
- Current Mood: depressed
I was driving the new co-worker around today, showing her the area we operate in, and, to be polite, I asked her if she needed a lunch break. She said "No, I just do whatever." She's an older black woman, maybe 40 years old, average to overweight build. I didn't question her because then I didn't have to make an excuse to scoot off, decline lunch, or end up purging into a Wal-Mart bag in my bag seat.
We got back to the office for a second and she and an LPN were talking about food. The LPN is also black and she's overweight, but she wears it very well. Basically the LPN claimed that she had a headache and our secretary told her that she probably needed to eat something. Suddenly, the LPN and the new girl start jabbering on and on about how little they eat. The LPN said that she nibbles on something for breakfast, but if she eats lunch then she has to skip dinner. Conversely, if she skips lunch, then she gets to eat dinner. The new employee agreed and stated that had similar eating habits. They just kind of brushed it off like it wasn't a big deal.
My male supervisor is on a diet. He's trim and slightly toned, but every day he brings a salad, and only a salad, to eat for lunch. He's also an avid runner. Two other male co-workers will try to eat healthily, you know, snacking on protein bars and organic granola. But then they'll break down and make some comment about how they've eaten too much and will now have to skip dinner.
Are these not blatantly eating disordered behaviors? They're free to discuss them in the workplace and receive encouragement and guidance from one another.
If I came out with "OH, I just had a salad. No dinner tonight." they would stone me to death.
There's another new girl who just got here a month ago. She's slim and drinks nothing but diet coke. She refuses to go to lunch with anyone, but she doesn't ever bring her lunch back to the office to eat it. I've never really seen her eat during her lunch break. God, I hope she takes all of the attention away from me.

ED history/ diagnosis: I'm going to say I'm Bulimic. I've been disordered for about 8 3/4 years.
Once upon a time, I thought I was fat. So I cut back on food and lost weight. I think I would have been classified as EDNOS at the time because I overexercised, but I was a normal weight. Two years later something snapped and I started abusing laxatives in addition to restricting and overexercising. Then I started binging and purging. I lost weight, Blah Blah Blah, I was underweight and diagnosed with AN, binging and purging subtype and went to a psychiatrist, but I had very poor compliance. Then for about 4 years I bounced between bulimia and COE. Then I went back to losing weight. My weight is pretty low, but I like to think of myself as a bulimic because I think it describes my behavior better. Plus, I still get my period.
Feelings on the issues of race/ethnicity and ED's: I basically have two feelings about this:
( It's a Blessing in Disguise. It's a Curse.Collapse )

My old high school used to be notoriously know for it's population of wealthy and privileged individuals, it's commitment to learning, and it's high standards. But oh my God that shit is busted now!

(Please read New Earth 10 before you read this.)
At the moment of the opening you must completely surrender to the Portal. You must "die" to your old life and be "re-born" to your new. This act of "dying" is not to die to your body, for you will need to continue using it as you participate in the great transmutation from the third dimensional world into the higher frequency world that your Soul has chosen for your Maiden Voyage. In other words, you will NOT die to your body. You will DIE to your reality. Dying to your reality means that everything, every person, every place, every situation to which you have been attached in the reality that you are leaving must be totally and utterly released.
Most important, at the same time that you release the old, you embrace the exact replica of your reality in its higher frequency expression. In this manner, you will stay manifest within a form while allowing that form to transmute with your consciousness fully attached to it. When you "died" in past/alternate realities, you allowed your consciousness to detach from your form, so that the form could continue its death process without your needing to suffer that difficult transition. In some of your physical lives, you may have been afraid of death and clung onto your form even when it was no longer habitable. In other words, you had a difficult death. It is the unconscious memory of these difficult transitions that you must release.
In other words, you must release the memory of being afraid of death and holding on to what was no longer yours to experience. Simultaneously, you must release your current third dimensional reality while you, simultaneously, make a mental imprint of this reality so that you can take it with you into the Portal. Then, as you travel through the Portal toward and into the higher frequency expression of your reality and form, you will carry within a mental imprint of that which you are transmuting. It is this mental imprint, copied and "saved to" your High Heart, that will transmute into its higher frequency of expression.
When you return from your entry into and journey through the Portal, as many of you will do, you will see the exact body and reality that you left. Except, it will be the higher dimensional expression of that reality. In other words, you will:
· Release the physicality of your present reality while you maintain a mental image of that reality, which is "saved to " your High Heart.
· With this image created and saved, you will release ALL attachment to that reality.
· However, you will remain in constant contact wit your physical body for it marks the "return point" of your journey.
The next important component of your journey through the Portal is that you will need to awaken your multidimensional perception so that you can perceive and remain in contact with more than one frequency of reality through out your entire journey. In other words, you will need to perceive your starting point of the third dimension in great clarity to copy and paste it to your mind and heart, while you also perceive your fourth dimensional aura. When you can perceive your own fourth dimensional aura, you will know that you have expanded your perception beyond the confines of the third dimension.
This expansion of perception is vital for the Portals are not grounded in the third dimension. In fact, the Portals are only seen through your fourth dimensional perception as their openings are on the different octaves of the fourth dimension. It is for this reason that we have been telling all of your to create your tunnel of light through the Lower Astral Plane, which is the accumulation of ALL the negative energy that humanity has created around their planet. If you have not yet created this tunnel, please do so now.
The way that you create this tunnel of light through the darkness of the Lower Astral Plane is, of course, with your great power of unconditional love. Therefore, between now and the Opening, please review your life and unconditionally love EVERY person, place, situation and thing which still holds any fear-based memories of anger, sorrow, revenge, competition etc. etc. In other words, you must "Forgive them, for they know not what they did!"
This sweeping unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness allows you to unconditionally accept the FACT that you came into incarnation at this time to participate in the process of Personal and Planetary Ascension. Once you realize that participation in ascension was your "purpose for incarnation," you will be able to unconditionally accept that EVERY negative experience of your present reality was created by your Soul. Your Soul created these "problems" so that you could clear all that was left unfinished at the time of your birth into this ascension reality.
You may think that this task is too much for just one life. However, once you remember that you are a great, Multidimensional Being who has volunteered to enter the "scene of many crimes" in order to assist your Planetary Expression of SELF, Gaia, your many heartaches and challenges will pale in the multidimensional light of your higher purpose.
If you cannot unconditional love, unconditionally forgive and unconditionally accept that every moment of every experience of your present life pales in the face of your higher purpose, you will not be able to detach from your present reality enough to totally surrender into and through the Portal. Your inability to release your past will deny you the gift of infinitely living in the present.
Therefore, our beloved grounded ones, we plead with you to "forgive them for they know not what they did." And, most important, forgive your self for you knew not what you did. You were asleep then, and EVERYTHING that you did or that happened to you was orchestrated so that you could Awaken. Yes, many of you have had challenges since your awakening, but because you knew you were awake, you saw these situations as initiations rather problems. Because you were awake you could, eventually, look each of these fear-based situation straight in the face and say, "I love you for the lesson that you have taught me."
While you review your life, be sure to seal each memory with unconditional love and thanksgiving for the lesson that it has taught you. You are in the process of leaving the reality in which lessons were often difficult, painful and filled with fear. In fact, you are leaving fear. We can see from the brilliant light of our grounded ones that many of you have already made this transition of sweeping forgiveness. Remember, forgiveness is not a passive act. In fact, forgiveness is a call to action to correct that which was so out of alignment with your Soul that it actually caused you pain.
You Soul created this situation in your life so that you could realize how out of alignment you were with your higher expression of SELF. Therefore, forgive and release ALL pain NOW so that it no longer dampens your sensations of the higher worlds. Release ALL judgment, for judgment is a mental condition that separates you from others and from your SELF. Every experience of your entire life was PERFECT for it has brought you to the fully awakened state of consciousness that you NOW enjoy.
Please take a moment of break now to fully embrace this part of our message. We will return with Part II, which is activating your Multidimensional Perceptions.
Monday, October 17, 2011
Dear Grounded Ones,
We now return to assist you in activating your multidimensional operating system. However, first we wish to tell you about the fatigue you are all experiencing. This fatigue is the process of your third dimensional operating system of perceptions shutting down so that your multidimensional operating system can take over. In the interim you have two operating systems working in a different manner within the same biological vessel. Therefore, this vessel is overtaxed and experiencing great fatigue.
The best course of action during this process is NO course of action. In other words, be still, quite, calm and peaceful as much as possible. Do what you love, be with your loved ones, go where you love to go and, most important, love your self. You are all the hope of Gaia, and you are the Portals to New Earth. Yes, YOU are the Portal that you will open. You needn't look around you, above or below you. YOU are the Portal for which you search.
There are many Portals around your reality, just beyond your third dimensional perception. However, in order to perceive these Portals you must look INSIDE your self. Through turning inward you can consciously co-operate in activating your multidimensional operating system. We will now guide in doing so:
· Look into your Inner Third Eye and see a small candle flame. As you focus on this flame, it changes into a spectrum of all the colors at once. Can you see how each color is distinct at the same time that it intermingles with the other colors?
· Now with the force of your attention drag this flame down into your High Heart. Can you feel how it expands as it enters your own source of unconditional love?
· Look now into your ATMA, your Three Fold Flame of Life and see that there are four flames, then five, then six and then more than you can count.
· See how these flames light a Pathway from within your heart that travels around and around you like a huge Portal—Your Portal.
· Feel your self within your Portal, the Portal of your Multidimensional SELF.
· Now, in the same manner as your saw the first original flame, see your Portal as a spectrum of color. Again, each color within your Portal is distinct but intermingles with all the other colors.
· In a calm and peaceful manner, observe as the colors within your Portal accelerate into a higher frequencies of color than you have never seen before.
· Focus on that which was once red and feel its power.
· Focus on that which was once orange and feel its warmth.
· Focus on that which was once yellow and feel its power.
· Focus on that which was once green and feel its expansion.
· Focus on that which was once blue and hear its tone.
· Focus on that which was once indigo and follow its trail around and around the Portal.
· Focus on that which was once violet and observe as the Portal spins faster, faster and faster…
As the spin of the Portal exponentially accelerates around you, maintain complete peace and total calm. YOU are the Core. YOU are the eye of the vortex.
As you feel the energy around you transmute into higher and higher frequencies of expression, remain centered, receptive, and AWAKE. Slowly, you open your Third Eye to look through your Portal. What you see is many different realities at once. Just as with the colors, each reality is distinct, yet intermingles with all the other realities. This vision almost excites you, BUT you remember to stay calm, centered and peaceful. You are the observer, while you also participate in each of these realities in a timeless manner.
At first, it is confusing to simultaneously observe and participate, but as you surrender to this process, you find that you quickly adapt to this new skill. You feel as though you are at a huge banquet, and you taste each delicious meal, careful not to eat too much and deny yourself another taste.
As you "taste" each reality, you become aware that some realities are possible realities, whereas others are probable realities. Then, much to your surprise, you realize that you are experiencing all of these realities at once, within the same moment of the NOW. You observe them before you, behind you and swirling all around you. Faster and faster the many realities spin through your Portal and deep into your Core.
You feel yourself expand to embrace each reality within the growing Essence of that which was once your Self. You find your distinct Self within each of these intermingled realities. But which you is YOU? How can you BE so many different versions of your Self at once? You sequential thinking cannot count them, and the myriad experiences meld into ONE. How can you be so many and yet ONE?
Suddenly, the vision stops.
Your eyes fly open, and you are within your physical form once again.
You at the same person you have always been.
Or are you?

Dear Arcturians,
Is there more i should know about 11.11.11? Will we leave 3D Earth at that time?
Our Beloved Ascending Ones,
You notice that we no longer call you "grounded ones." We have changed your names because you have changed your frequency of resonance. It is because of this shift in your resonant frequency that you are all having symptoms of transformation. These symptoms are particular to each person, as each of you has a "weak link," which is the function or area of your earth vessel that resonates to the lowest frequencies. These lowest freuqency areas of you body are places in which you have habitually stored your stress and fear-based emotions.
It is time now for you to "empty the trash." It is release of stored stress and fear that is causing your many symptoms and physical sensations of discomfort. We want to tell you that from our perspective, many of you are almost completed with this process. Your journey through the 11.11.11 Portal will assist you completely release all that resonates to a frequency lower than love. In fact, most of you are preparing for this release in your daily life by choosing to focus on what you love and finding that it is extremely tiresome to perform certain mundane tasks.
What is actually happening is that you are "putting in your order" for the reality to which you wish to resonate. You see, New Earth is not far away in another place. New Earth is a resonance, a frequency of Earth. This frequency has been "held in place" so to speak, for the entire "time" of physical earth. New Earth is the bookmark that holds the frequency Path back to your Multidimensional SELF. Due to the extreme challenge of the Kali Yuga, Dark Night of Gaia's Soul, many of you have lost your way. The 11.11.11 Portal, which will be opened and experienced by our Ascending Ones, will be held open within your consciousness.
With your Path Home to New Earth open, all of our Openers will progressively activate higher and higher states of consciousness. Let us explain the term "Openers." YOU are the Openers. All of you that consciously and unconsciously, via dreams and imagination, will be the first ones to open your own Inner Portals. We say "Inner Portals," for all roads to the higher dimensions are traveled from within. Once you have opened your Portals, you will hold these Portals open until the NOW of Gaia's Planetary Ascension. If you think you are having symptoms now, wait until you are holding open a Portal to the fifth dimension. However, with this immensely increased flow of multidimensional light and unconditional love, your process will swiftly be completed.
In other words, 11.11.11 opens the Door/Portal. Some of you will hold this Door opened to assist Gaia in Her ascension process, and some of you will go through the Door to prepare the way for others. However, usually, those who open the Portal, will hold that Portal open for as long as possible. This means that, "The first shall be the last." Or "The Captain stays with the Ship" until the very last moment. There will be no sense of sacrifice for these dear Openers for they will simultaneously be experiencing both the reality of closing 3D Earth AND the reality of blossoming 5D Earth.
The process of consciously experience two realities at once, will fully activate your Multidimensional Operating System and put you in constant contact with your Multidimensional SELF. Will you be able to always be conscious of this constant connection? That will be your next challenge. For those of you who have volunteered to hold the Portals open, your powers of creation will be greatly amplified. In fact, we see that many of you are already having this experience.
With your thoughts and emotions becoming manifest at a increasingly immediate rate, you will need to focus on BEING the Master of your Energy. Remember, you energy is the state of consciousness that you have created for yourself by allowing certain thoughts and emotions to be held within your aura. Furthermore, by standing in the "opened doorway" your energy will be emanating out into the aura of Ascending Gaia more than ever. We tell you of your challenge with complete confidence that you will be able to successfully fulfill your chosen Mission.
In fact, we know that in the reality to which you are ascending, you have already fulfilled this Mission. If you listen to our last sentence with your 3D, time-bound thinking, you will be very confused. Your third dimensional thinking is one of the first things that you will need to release. The best way to release this outdated thinking is to accept the Flow of unconditional love that we send to your NOW! Unconditional love is the healing force of the Multiverse and the highest frequency of transmutation.
You are told on your airplane rides, "In case of emergency, place your oxygen mask on your self first so that you can place it on others too." In the same manner, we say, unconditionally love your self first, so that you can better unconditionally love others.
The Arcturians

Perhaps you've heard the term "thought leader." It gets bandied about a lot lately.
Do a search on LinkedIn and you'll find lots of people describing themselves as thought leaders. They probably aren't.
When you're a market leader, you sell more than anyone else in the market. So to be a thought leader, you must be the go-to expert. People can't think about your product, service, or idea without thinking of you.

One or Two Fleets for the Worlds?Friday, 25 August 2017 20:01
by Pietro Fantoni, SCIRA Vice Commodore
(Photo courtesy of Matias Capizzano)
In La Coruna we split, for the first time in the history of the Snipe World Championship, the boats in two fleets: Yellow and Blue fleet for the qualifying series (5 races) and Gold and Silver for the final series (6 races).
85 boats in total competed for the 2017 Worlds, at the 2015 Worlds in Talamone the boats on the same starting line were 83.
I wrote an article on this topic a few months ago, starting from the positive experience of 2016 Europeans in Santiago de la Ribera (where the fleet of 109 boats was divided into two).
But was the experience in La Coruna just as positive as for the Europeans?
Interview with Raul Rios, 2017 Snipe World ChampionThursday, 24 August 2017 07:41
(Photo courtesy of Matias Capizzano)
How did you prepare for the Worlds?
For Worlds, Mac and I started talking about making a plan in order to be able to compete at such high level. Our plan came into effect once we sailed the Commodore Rasco in Miami. Since then, we set out to sail three events hoping conditions would vary and we could work on our weaknesses. At the end, we only practice four days in Puerto Rico, two days in Fort Lauderdale and three regattas together. For Mac it was all about working on boat handling, while for me was all about working together in order to develop good speed around the course.
Scoring System for Big EventsWednesday, 23 August 2017 20:02
by Cesar Travado
(Photo courtesy of Matias Capizzano)
A new scoring system was used for the 2016 Europeans and the Worlds 2017. It consists, as most of you know, on a Qualifying Series and Final Series.
For the Final Series, each competitor carries his/her Overall position of the Qualifying Serie as Race #1 of the Final Series. This Race #1 is not excluded as discard.
When César Sans and I wrote the Sailing Instructions for the Europeans 2016, we spent a lot of time on the phone (and emails) discussing how to write them to be the most clear and understandable for competitors, specially in the point about the Fleets and Scoring System. We put special care on finding the exact words to not let space to doubts. No modifications to the Sailing Instructions during the Europeans, so I guess we made a good job.

I"ll be honest. I stopped watching The Walking Dead after the second season. It was a combination of the fact that, up until that time (and maybe since?), producers didn"t explain why the world became a zombie-laden hellscape and that it basically turned into a first-person shooter disguised as a TV show. I"m sure some of you out there are screaming at your computers wondering how I could miss major plot points and blah blah blah. But hey, not everyone likes every program. If that was the case, Police Squad would be wrapping up its 33rd season and The Jeannie Tate Show would have been acquired by Netflix and won multiple Emmys. But enough of a preamble.
When word crossed my desk that Universal Studios Hollywood was hiring people to play zombies for their new year-round attraction based on The Walking Dead, I knew I had to try out. I know nothing about acting. In fact, the last time I did anything resembling theater was a school play in sixth grade. But this was the chance to be a zombie. And who was I to say no to that opportunity.
After cobbling together a resume that looked more like a "Missing Persons" flyer than anything, I was almost ready. But there was one last thing before I headed to the tryout. I was informed that the future undead will be required to demonstrate "scare-abilities." So I began my research, which mostly consisted of watching Michael Jackson"s "Thriller" video repeatedly. Realizing I"ll never have the moves of the King of Pop, I ended up in a YouTube wormhole of music videos like White Zombie"s "Thunder Kiss "65," "More Human than Human" and ultimately, countless Slayer tunes. The only thing this really accomplished is it reminded me I really wish I knew how to play guitar. There aren"t groupies for writers.
Once I reach Universal Studios, I am quickly ushered into a line of zombie wannabes. With the exception of one older man with a long, dirty gray beard and six or seven women, it"s mostly men in their 20s. I"m promptly photographed, given a badge with a number (236), measured and sent into a dark, frigid room along with about 60 other people.
Then we wait…and wait…and wait some more.
About a half hour later, they call 30 of us into an adjoining room and I start to get a little nervous. This is going to be my moment to shine (or rot as the case may be).
The man in charge (let"s call him "The Governor") sets a few minor ground rules – no touching, no Tweeting, pretend you"re dead – before having us do our best "group" zombie mingle. He barks out, "play it maestro," at which point one of the judges hits the play button on a computer and The Walking Dead theme hauntingly booms through the room. Some dive headlong into the role. They shake, contort, drag and move every part of their body. I scan the room and look for ideas on moves I could mimic given my unfortunate rhythmic limitations. The best I can come up with is extending my arms (the right one twitching uncontrollably) while dragging my right foot. I soon realize I move more like Frankenstein"s monster with a sprained ankle and a tic than one of the program"s insatiably hungry walkers. At one point during this exercise, one of the men (who ultimately gets a callback), actually looks like he intends to nosh on my neck. We lock eyes – his dead, mine terrified. I calm myself as I remember the "no touching" rule. I hope he remembers the rule too.
The Governor stops the music and everyone immediately and awkwardly reverts back from the groaning and grunting of the undead to small talk about traffic on the 101 freeway and their plans for the weekend. We"re told to line up against the back wall while The Gov points out a chair in the middle of the room. It"s time for the "scare the chair" exercise.
During this portion of the audition, we"re to assume the chair represents a person, sneak up on it and, in the way only a walker would, terrify the shit out of it. I find myself in the middle of the line, so I have a few moments to come up with some new moves in an attempt to wow the Governor and his cabinet. I immediately begin to overthink things. Should I crawl? Should I run? Should I limp? What kind of noises should I make? My lack of (ok, none) improvisational experience is clearly becoming an issue. But I"m in the thick of it now, so it"s time to go for broke.
The Gov signals for the music to start again and the scaring begins. I initially watch the other hopeful walkers as they traverse the 50 or so feet to the intended target. Some are really starting to step up their game. Those who are most successful almost seem to be crunk dancing with bad intent, and it works.
As I head toward the front of the line, I start to visualize my moves. I need to be light on my feet like Andy Serkis but with the scowl of Liev Schreiber. When my number is called, I don"t deliver. I lumber toward the chair, right foot still in tow. Realizing I need to be more evil, I start hissing. But instead of the ominous cry of a zombie seeking its next meal, I sound more like air escaping a balloon. As I reach the chair, I have one "Hail Mary" left in my arsenal. I lunge toward the imaginary person and let out a guttural wail that seems louder than it should have been.
And just like that. It was over. The remainder of the group attack the chair with varying degrees of success before The Governor thanks us for our time and ushers us outside to await further instruction.
After a few tense minutes during which I instinctively hum "I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line, a short, stout woman comes to our holding pen. She instructs us that those numbers she calls out passed the first test and are invited to callbacks. Those who are not called are DOA.
"205. 209," she begins. The woman quickly barks out a few more numbers before she hits the 230s.
"Two thirty…" she continues. My heart begins to race. I cross my fingers and hope the next word she says is "six."
"Seven," she adds. "237."
My heart drops. Despite my best efforts, my zombie dreams are killed like so many other foot draggers.
As I head out, I catch up with one of the people who got a callback. Colton is his name and I"m dying to know what he did right and I did wrong.
"I created a back story about myself," the muscular 19-year-old explains. He adds that he tried not to overthink things and just had his back story be him, a 19-year-old kid who moved to L.A. to try to make it in Hollywood.
So that"s the trick. Don"t overthink it. I suppose it"s not surprising when it comes to the world of zombies, it always comes back to brains. Braaaiiiins.

Paula, 35, and Kristy, 22, never saw the curve in the road that forced their tractor trailer to overturn yesterday on Route 9 in Rhinebeck, N.Y. They were in the back of the trailer, eating hay.
The two are African elephants, part of the Carson & Barnes Circus, and were not injured.
They were en route from the Albany area to Poughkeepsie, where the circus was scheduled to perform last night. The driver, a navigator and a boy in the cab of the truck suffered only minor injuries.
''I was scared for my elephants,'' said Barbara Berg, who operates the circus, which her grandfather founded nearly 70 years ago.
''I see them every day and really love them. I don't know how it happened, but I was so worried they might be hurt.''
The state police said the driver, Armando Rosales, was headed south on Route 9 at 7:13 a.m. when he drifted into the shoulder and lost control of the vehicle as it hit the curb. The truck flipped on its side when it struck a utility pole.Continue reading the main story
State troopers and local firefighters used rescue equipment to pry open the roof of the trailer to remove the two 8,000-pound elephants. James Mort, a veterinarian with the Rhinebeck Equine Organization, examined the animals, who suffered only minor bruises. The driver was cited for an uninspected trailer, an insufficient trailer log book and failure to keep right.
The police closed the road for five hours as they completed an investigation. The utility pole that the truck hit was carrying electric lines, and power to more than 100 customers was cut for nearly six hours, according to John Maserjian, a spokesman for Central Hudson Gas and Electric.
This was not the first problem the Carson & Barnes Circus faced with transporting animals. An animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said the circus had been cited eight times in the last seven years by the United States Department of Agriculture for failing to properly maintain transport trailers.
Debbie Leahy, the director of the captive exotic animals department of the animal rights group, has asked the department to investigate the incident and has charged that there are wide-ranging abuses of elephants and animals at the circus.
The circus operators deny any negligence or mistreatment of animals.
''I personally ensure that these animals are treated well,'' Mrs. Berg said. ''Of course we have been cited for things like a rust spot or not putting a lid on dog food containers, but nothing like what this group says. We all love these animals.''
Paula and Kristy, who have larger ears and smaller heads than their more common Asian counterparts, do not participate in the traveling show. The two are featured in an educational role at the circus, said Mrs. Berg, who brings them out along with several Asian elephants so visitors can compare the two species and see the long ivory tusks that only the African elephants have.
''People in places like New York are spoiled with the Bronx Zoo, where they can see animals all the time,'' Mrs. Berg said. ''They still like the show, but it is nothing like when we visit an Indian reservation or more rural part of the county. We're the only chance they have to see these exotic animals.''Continue reading the main story

The Blood and Mud in the Philippines: Anti-Guerrilla Warfare on Panay Island
Continuation of Chapter 11
One night while we were trying to determine the timing of our escape, the former 14th Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Takaji Wachi was brought to our prison camp. He had been summoned from Japan as a witness for Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma, former commander of 14th Area Army, who was being tried for the Bataan Death March. We decided to listen to his talk about the situation of Japan. Members of the camp got together at his tent and we listened to him late into the night. His talk not only impressed us but also made us angry. As I paid attention to the stories about Japan that I wanted to know, I considered that it was the right time to escape.
On that same night, however, three POWs had run away – namely, Master Sergeant Kuwano, Sergeant Makita and Corporal Itai – and there was great confusion throughout the camp. Hurriedly, the authorities started to build a double barbed-wire fence that was nearly three meters tall around the War Criminal Suspects' Camp. Those POWs got a head start on me and I felt very sorry to be left behind. All the same, there was nothing I could do but pray for their success. Four or five days passed, and I was happily thinking that they must have succeeded. Then suddenly, a cage-like structure measuring about five meters square was built at the camp entrance. To our surprise, the three who had attempted to escape were put in that cage. We later learned that Itai had lost his shoes while the three were swimming across the 100-meter wide Pasig River. He soon was unable to walk on land, and they had hidden themselves in a swamp for three or four days. They gave up when they got hungry and surrendered to nearby residents.
Several days after the incident, the thick barbed-wire fence around the camp was completed and the number of guards increased.
11.2 Failed Escape
On April 4, we were again moved to the prison camp in Canlubang. I immediately started to prepare for escape. Through reliable acquaintances, I tried hard to collect information on the geography of Mt. Makiling and the area around it, the places where the Japanese Army buried their weapons, the possible existence of any Japanese soldiers, the sea current from the northern end of Luzon Island to the sea off Taiwan, and the trade winds. Then again, I also made every effort to obtain goods such as medicine for malaria, salt, a compass, map, knives, mess kits, canteens, a US tent and so on. Old friends like Captain Junsuke Hitomi of the Army Propaganda Corps and Captain Motoki kindly gave me malaria medicine and salt, wishing me success on my escape.
I called on those from within our unit who likewise intended to escape. Some from other units joined upon learning of my intentions. We checked on the escape points of the camp, the guard situation, and the method of cutting the barbed wire fence. One day in early May, when the preparations were nearly complete, a clipping from a Manila newspaper in English was posted on the entrance wall of the camp. It said, 'On the crime of killing around 2,000 residents in Panay, Brigade Commander Lieutenant General Kôno was given the sentence of Death by Hanging. His 13 subordinates are going to be tried in the near future.' It made me feel that I had no second to lose anymore.
I decided to carry out our escape in mid-May. That night a theatre performance was held sponsored by gangsters (Yakuza) who had control of the camp. The moon was expected to rise at 10 p.m. Six of us – myself, lst Lieutenant Toyota, Sergeant Makita, Corporal Itai, and Major Takeshita of the Mindanao Kempeitai and his subordinate Sergeant Kobayashi – gathered at 7 p.m. by the ditch of the NCO and enlisted men's camp that we had earlier identified.
Quickly we started to use a pair of pliers to cut the barbed wire in the ditch but the pliers were old and did not work well. As I was getting irritated, a prisoner who I did not know came up to me with a tissue and pencil. In tears, he said, 'I am xxx stationed at the Cabatuan airfield. Please write your message to your family on this paper. As I'm from Oita prefecture, I'll make sure to give it to them.' I told him that I had already sent them a letter, so I had nothing more to tell them, and thanked him. He responded, 'Then I'll be watching the guard tower from that tent. I wish you success. 'Then he left. I later found out that he was Mr. Takeshi Ando, who lives in Oita.
Quite a time had passed but we had cut only less than a third of the barbed wires. We were vexed and worried. A group of men appeared in the dark with the rattling noise of high-heeled geta (wooden clogs or the traditional Japanese footwear). One of them suddenly gave Itai a straight punch, causing him fall down. Itai – who was nicknamed after a well-known gangster, Ishimatsu of the Forest – made no counterpunch. The man who had punched him was one of the gangsters who were in charge of the camp. On the surface, as seen by the US camp authorities, a POW was the formal representative of the Japanese; in the background, however, the gangsters controlled the kitchen, entertainment and the ditches, among other things.
Showing off his tattoos on his arms, the gangster made a deep bow to us, and said in an intimidating husky voice, 'My name is Tomioka and I'm a sworn brother of Boss Takada. Itai is my sworn brother. There are also some among my henchmen who have to run away. So please wait for them. We will certainly let you run away. We gangsters respect our sense of obligation more than anything else.' His words were polite but he was actually threatening us. Thus, we had to give up our attempt to escape that night. The Gangster Boss came to know of our plan because Itai had stolen the only pair of pliers for the stage of the theater.
Gangsters controlled the ditches that were possible escape routes. Therefore, our attempt to escape now needed the permission of the Gangster Boss. I often urged the Boss to keep his promise and let us go. However, the Boss just repeated his exaggerated talk and did not make a move. In the meantime, around May 20, a rumor spread that someone had escaped from the camp. Soon we knew it was Sergeant Makita. The next day, I happened to see Sergeant Makita who was being escorted by four or five guards. When his eyes met mine, he sent me a wink that implied 'Damn, I failed again!' Sergeant Makita had run away from the general camp and reached as far as the foot of Mt. Makiling. However, armed local residents were already hunting the area. Realizing that that it impossible for him to flee further without being detected, he submitted himself to them. The rumor was that someone had tipped off the US Forces from inside the camp that made possible the quick dispatch of the search orders for him.
My escape plan did not work out. On June 2, when I was in the pit of despair and discouragement, all of us related to Panay were moved to the Manila court. The wire netting that covered the vehicle into which we were pushed reminded me of bamboo cages that carried criminals in Japan. Amidst the yelling of 'Bakayaro, dorobo, You sons of bitches, thieves!' uttered by the people along the road, we made our way to the Manila court. Having given up all hope, the words of hatred and humiliation no longer evoked any emotion or anger in us. Like fools, we just stared at those Filipinos. (To be continued)

Powerful. Intelligent. Beautiful. Cleopatra assumed the throne, along with her brother Ptolemy XIII, after their father died. But it wasn't long before that power corrupted her sibling, and a coup forced her out of the throne and into a world of exile.
Now, she has to use her intelligence and beauty to convince Julius Caesar, along with the rest of his Roman countrymen, to help her reclaim her birthright and put her back on the throne that is rightfully hers.
At 12 years old, Ptolemy XIII becomes the most powerful person in Egypt. He initially shared the throne with his sister, Cleopatra, after their father's death, but his youth & naivete made him susceptible to those with darker intentions.
After he leads a coup that drives his sister into exile, he is installed as Pharaoh. But he is nothing more than a pawn in a war much bigger than he could ever imagine, involving forces he doesn't know exist.
With one eye always focused on surpassing Alexander the Great's legacy, Julius Caesar's ambition and drive to become a great conqueror is second to none. This focus, combined with his worldly experience and cunning in battle, inspires great loyalty in his men, helping to make him even more formidable against his foes.
As he looks to Egypt, a proud sovereign nation prey to a power struggle, he sees his next opportunity. But even with the weakness therein, he still needs help accessing Egypt's inner circles. Enter Cleopatra, the recently exiled and rightful heir to the throne. With this new ally, Caesar may just be unstoppable.
The Order of the Ancients are a group of the most powerful people in Egypt, who have combined their forces to take power by any means. Acting both in the shadows and through young and inexperienced Pahroah in Ptolemy XIII, this secret society is responsible for the oppression felt all throughout Egypt.
These high powered political and social figures believe that only with control can you achieve peace and order, and they are willing to do anything for it. Not only are they willing to kill anyone who gets in their way, they also exert influence over the major leaders of the ancient world. No one is safe from The Order.

Arizona hoping rest will keep Peralta off DL
PHOENIX -- D-backs outfielder David Peralta was not in the starting lineup for the fifth consecutive game in Thursday's 4-2 loss due to a sore right wrist, and the club is hopeful the added rest will help him avoid a stint on the disabled list.
An examination of Peralta's wrist by hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan on Thursday morning showed no structural damage, D-backs manager Chip Hale said.
The outfielder, who has not played since serving as a late-inning substitution May 8, is considered day to day. The D-backs started a four-game series against the Giants at Chase Field on Thursday. The Yankees will visit for three games starting Monday.
"He is still receiving treatment and not ready to be in the starting lineup," Hale said. "We are not going to make any moves. We feel like he can still help us off the bench right. He's progressively getting better. There's no structural damage."
The discomfort in Peralta's wrist can be traced back to last month when he was twice hit by pitches in the series against San Francisco. The club has considered placing Peralta on the DL.
"You always are [considering the DL] when a guy has an injury and how he is responding," Hale said. "But right now, I guess the progression has been pretty good since we sat him down."

Let the race for content begin: Yahoo Vs. AOL
October 3, 2010 2 Comments
Yahoo with their acquisition of Associated Content and AOL with their recent acquisition of TechCrunch have put the two companies at their own crossroads. Both companies have new Boss and are trying to reposition themselves as the media giants. Any bet on which one will win the space or who is going to acquire who?
Both companies have come a long way since the web 1.0 era. They, both have been pushing hard to find their footing in the world of the social web content and News:
AOL was the top ISP / Media portal in the US. Because AOL didn't jump on broadband, they screwed themselves by not keeping up with the times. When DSL/Broadband came about, AOL was still pushing their dial up. AOL tried to piggy back off Yahoo's and Earthlinks DSL and if they had, AOL would have still lost customers to Yahoo/Earhlink and would have just become another internet portal.
Not to mention their big mess with Time Warner that ended last year.
Yahoo screwed themselves up by not selling it dwindling company to Microsoft. Yahoo would have been a part of Bing, a pretty popular search engine. What's keeping Yahoo alive is email and Asia. Everyone I know has an yahoo.com email, though most are leaving for gmail.com But I still believe Yahoo holds the most accounts in email than anyone else.
Asian market has been a strong focus of Yahoo and I expect them to continue success in the Asian market. Yahoo also has a lot going for it. Flickr, Delicious, and many other app mainstream apps. Yahoo Stores are huge for small eCommerce business, and if you're an equities investor/trader you know for a fact, Yahoo Finance sit above even the likes of Reuters and Bloomberg. Yahoo also signed a huge advertising deal with Microsoft app platform. Yahoo also suffers from identity crisis. Many people in the US they just don't know how to label Yahoo anymore.
In my opinion, depending on how much more stupid mistakes both companies are going to end up doing, Yahoo is currently in a much better shape than AOL to compete and survive in the world of News and Content.
Which one are you betting on?

A couple of months ago, I blogged about the cancellation of the regular Saturday game, and how I suddenly found I was no longer "a gamer", so much as "someone who games occasionally". I also said at that time that I found this entirely unsatisfactory.
So, not being one to just accept when things aren't right, I set about fixing the problem.
To that end, and after some investigation, I set up a Meetup group dedicated to D&D in the Falkirk area. This has proven to be a success, meeting and (perhaps) exceeding my expectations. The second meeting is tomorrow night, during which we will probably kick off a new D&D campaign set in Eberron.
There's just one problem: in amongst all the chaos, I've been so busy that I haven't had time to do more than jot down a few very basic notes for the outline of the campaign. I didn't really want to have to run the first session without proper preparation, but it does look like this may well have to happen.
At the same time, my Saturday game seems to have found itself a new lease of life. After a couple of false starts, we finally managed to get together for a game two weeks ago, and then again on Saturday. It's starting to look like the interest may be starting to come back there, and we may be able to pick up the pace again.
Of course, that means I now have two full campaigns to juggle, two sets of players to manage, two sets of characters to challenge, and two sets of adventures to prepare. And that on top of band practices twice a week (and probably bag packing most weekends), my Spanish course, and then a trip to the Squirrel Ballet. Plus, somewhere in there I am supposed to do some Christmas shopping.
Life is quite hectic at times.
