Cold War Modern: Design 1945-1970
Victoria and Albert Museum, London
25 September 2008 - 11 January 2009
The V&A's autumn exhibition, Cold War Modern: Design 1945-70, is the first to examine contemporary design, architecture, film and popular culture on both sides of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War era. Over 300 exhibits are on display from a Sputnik and an Apollo Mission space suit to films by Stanley Kubrick, paintings by Robert Rauschenberg and Gerhard Richter, fashion by Paco Rabanne, designs by Charles and Ray Eames and Dieter Rams, architecture by Le Corbusier, Richard Buckminster Fuller and Archigram, and vehicles including a Messerschmidt microcar. The period after the Second World War was one of anxiety and tension but also one of great optimism and unprecedented technological development. The exhibition examines how design was shaped by the Cold War period against the backdrop of the battle between communism and capitalism, the advances of the space race, and the international competition to be modern.
Concentrating on the years from 1945 to 1970, the exhibition displays objects from around the world including the USA, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Italy, France, East and West Germany, Cuba and the UK.
Highlights include:
- Classic Eames designs made of 'modern' materials such as fibreglass;
- Furniture inspired by space such as Eero Aarnio's Globe Chair and the Garden Egg Chair by Peter Ghyczy;
- Dieter Ram's designs for Braun including his T1000 Radio world receiver;
- Previously unseen Eastern bloc architecture, furniture, textiles, graphics and glass;
- Futuristic fashion by designers including Paco Rabanne and Pierre Cardin;
- New post-war forms of transport including the P70 Coupé (an early version of the plastic Trabant), the micro car Messerschmitt Kabinenroller and the Vespa motorscooter;
- Films which shaped the popular imagination such as Goldfinger, The Ipcress File, Dr. Strangelove and 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as original set design drawings by Kenneth Adam;
- Works by Pablo Picasso, Richard Hamilton, Gerhard Richter, Lucio Fontana and Robert Rauschenberg illustrating the way artists responded to the dominant political and social ideas of the time;
- Propaganda and anti-nuclear posters, photography and sculpture from both East and West;
- Imagined futuristic architecture schemes for cities and dwellings by Hans Hollein, Archigram and Superstudio;
- Experimental designs for inflatable buildings, including a full-scale reconstruction of a key work by Haus-Rucker-Co.
Mark Jones, Director of the V&A, said: "This is the first exhibition to explore how the development of Modernism after 1945 was shaped by the Cold War. It was a tremendously exciting period in the history of design, a period we have defined as Cold War Modern".
The exhibition starts in the immediate post-war period showing differing visions for rebuilding devastated cities and competing ideas of modern life. It looks at new industrial products and building methods from the West as well as socialist realist art and architecture from the USSR. It focuses on rival architectural visions in East and West Berlin: the monumental 'Stalinallee' in the Eastern Sector, and the Modernist housing schemes of 'Interbau' in the West designed by architects including Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Oskar Niemeyer.
Cold War Modern examines how the competition to be modern entered the domestic sphere, exemplified by the famous 1959 'Kitchen Debate' between Nixon and Khrushchev which took place at the American National Exhibition staged in Moscow, amid displays of the latest American household goods.
During this period, images of destruction haunted the collective imagination. The nuclear threat, and the response to it, are seen through graphics, art, film and imaginary schemes such as Buckminster Fuller's 1962 geodesic Dome over Manhattan.
A section on the space race and hi-tech triumphs highlights the first space mission by Yuri Gagarin aboard a Vostok space capsule. On display are designs of interiors for NASA space craft by Raymond Loewy, experimental spacesuits as well as many examples of furniture, architecture, art and fashion inspired by the space race.
Amongst the many technological achievements of the period, a new and distinctive form of architecture emerged, the telecommunications tower, including the Post Office Tower in London and Moscow's Ostankino Tower.
Under the theme of 'Revolution', the exhibition considers forms of protest and rebellion, including the tumultuous events of 1968 in Paris and Prague, looking at them through posters, film, photography and art.
The final section looks at how Cold War technologies were used by architects and designers to create imagined utopias, a world of inflatable, mobile and expendable habitats by groups such as Superstudio and Archigram. There is a full scale reconstruction of Oasis No. 7, a giant inflatable environment containing a small 'beach' with palm tree, designed by Viennese architects Haus-Rucker-Co. Other critical views of the future such as Arata Isozaki's photomontage Re-Ruined Hiroshima are also on display.
The exhibition ends with the first photograph of Earth taken from space, which inspired artists and designers in their utopian imaginings and acted as a catalyst to a new environmental awareness of the fragility of the planet.
After the V&A, Cold War Modern: Design 1945-70 will tour to MART, Rovereto, Italy from 28 March to 26 July 2009 and to the National Gallery of Art, Vilnius, Lithuania from October to December 2009.
The exhibition curators are Jane Pavitt from the V&A's research department and the University of Brighton in association with David Crowley from the Royal College of Art.
The exhibition designers are Universal Design Studio with graphics by Bibliothèque.
An accompanying book of the same title has been produced by V&A Publishing.

The Florida Keys have been experiencing the coldest weather of the winter during the last week. Water temps have fallen into the high 60's and a persistent northerly wind has driven clean blue water well off shore. King Mackerel have dominated the fishing scene and we have had consistently great action on the Kings over the last week. The larger fish have been in the 30lb class. Live baits fished off the kite are producing spectacular sky rocket bites. The wrecks are producing plenty of Amberjacks and a few grouper, Angler Joe Ryan caught a 27lb Black grouper on Sat which was the largest of the week. Sailfishing is slow with the temporarily poor water, and the Tuna bite has also slowed. We have caught a few large Yellowtail on the reef, but the water is too cool to make the Yellowtail comfortable.
Monthly Archives: January 2009
27lb Black Grouper
Best Tuna fishing
The Tuna fishing is the best it's been all winter, but the Sailfishing has temporarily slumped. As a result we have been using more pilchards and thread herring for bait and less live ballyhoo. The end of the bar area 18 miles SW of Key West has been a hot spot for the Tuna activity. There has also been an increase in the number of King fish along the reef and we have caught several recently in the 30lb size. Surprizingly there have been a fair number of off season Dolphin available as well. With a current cold snap producing the coldest weather of the winter to date and a steady north wind we may have seen the last of the dolphin for awhile but expect the king fishing to improve and for another influx of sails when the weather settles down. Grouper fishing on the reef will improve as well with the water temps decreasing.
Everything is biting
Everything is biting! From Yellowtail to Dolphin to Sailfish to Blackfin Tuna, Key West's well deserved reputation for fishing variety is on display. The Ballyhoo are swarming on the reef edge and Sailfish are plentiful, chasing the 'hoo's in the shallow water. Big Cero's, Yellowjacks, Mutton Snapper, Dolphin and Tuna are also spraying the bait. When the current is right the reef fishing is outstanding too for Yellowtail and Black Grouper. Swordfish are also in good supply on the 200fm drop when the weather is calm.

Arrow is a famous TV series that is based on a fictional universe. It has a huge cast, which includes Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance or the 'Black Canary'. If you are a fan of Katie's style in the TV series, then you can mimic it as well and look like her. All you have to do is head over to our website, instylejackets.com, and purchase 'Arrow Drama Series Laurel Lance Leather Jacket' at a great price.
The jacket is made out of genuine leather and is black in color. It has full sleeves and an internal viscose lining, which makes it comfortable to wear. Adding to its trendy design, the jacket has a branded zipper at the front and a stand-up collar. It also has two internal pockets, which means that you can carry some small personal items with you while wearing it.
The style of the jacket boasts my own, which is why I love it. Also, I found the perfect fit for myself easily as it is available in various sizes. I highly recommend it to everyone who likes to wear leather jackets.

A friend from North Carolina asked me If I knew anything about solid state recording and if she can buy the TASCAM DR-05 online and I was kind a confused because I don't know what she's talking about. When I ask her why, she said that her step son needs one. So, I told her to try research it online and I am sure she will find the one that she's looking for. There are lot of instruments accessories available online and she might find a good deal too. Good thing I know couple websites that offer a great selections of instruments and she can also get the TASCAM DR-05 at musiciansfriend.

It's impossible to extinguish canoeist Dooley Tombras' passion for navigating gnarly Southeast whitewater in an open-decked boat. Amidst one of the best spring paddling seasons in memory, conditions couldn't be better for Tombras, 29, of Knoxville, Tenn., and Asheville, N.C. local John Grace, the founder of Lunch Video Magazine, who are working on Uncharted Waters, the sequel to their acclaimed 2010 film, The Canoe Movie. In the past two months Grace has captured Tombras and his stalwart paddling buddy Matt DeVoe nailing first open-boat descents on some of North America's hairiest Class V creeks. All this excitement has corresponded with a new fleet of modern, user-friendly boat designs like Esquif's wildly popular L'Edge, the Mohawk Maxim and Jeremy Laucks' paradigm-shifting Blackfly Canoes, pushing OC-1's popularity to an all-time high.
Canoe & Kayak magazine caught up with Tombras in the wake of Ain't Louie Fest, a nine-day, cult-like gathering of open boaters celebrating spring on the rivers and creeks of the Southeast, to talk about paddling whitewater with a single-blade.
I've heard you've had a big spring season for whitewater in the Southeast. Just how much have you been boating?
Dooley Tombras: It's been pretty awesome. We had our first big rain early, around the first of January and we got out on the Santeetlah [in North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains], which is one of the hardest in the Southeast to catch. It's usually either flooded or two low. Then things froze up for about a month, but around February 1st things thawed out and it really hasn't stopped raining ever since.
Because we're filming and running with John Grace and his crew we have some pretty solid rescue support. With Matt [DeVoe] and Eli Helbert, we ran the Raven Fork, which is probably the best run in the Southeast. Then we made the first open canoe descent of the Road Prong. What was so exciting about that is that we think it's the steepest run that's ever been made by canoe. It drops 750 feet per mile. There are other runs like the Raven Fork with similar gradient, the catch is you're usually not running it all because it's a portage fest. The crazy thing about Road Prong is that it's all runnable. It's a true 750 feet per-mile express run down the mountain.
The other first descent was on Triple Falls on the Little River [in North Carolina's DuPont State Forest]. The river drops 125 feet in three monster drops. But the biggest adventure was last Sunday. We hiked into the gorge of the Horsepasture River [in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina]. It was one of those classic spring days in the Southeast with fog and mist coming off the water. We were running big Class V stuff and the visibility was so bad that you couldn't see more than the top or the bottom of the rapid.
So I take it filming has been going pretty well? We're just ecstatic about it. We have a bigger budget this year and that means better cameras, better editing and more innovative filming techniques. The plan has always been more about exploration, about taking the canoe where it's never been before and documenting it to show people what's possible. We're headed to Quebec this spring—that's really the Mecca of open boating. And then we're going out to Colorado this summer for the opposite reason. There are very few open boaters out there and the mentality is that you can't canoe in the Rockies. Then we have our eyes on two first [open canoe] descents in Mexico.
How was Ain't Louie Fest 2011? I'd say we had 100 to 200 open boaters here for it. We got a lot of rain and it timed out perfectly. A favorite part for me was the big race on the Upper Tellico. First the under-18 paddlers started, then a minute later the average Joes went, and one minute after that the sponsored paddlers started. With 52 boats on the river and there were a few NASCAR moments.
What's your take on the state of open boating right now? It's like night and day compared to five years ago. I've been paddling for 15 years, and when I first started I never met anyone younger than me, I never heard of anyone getting into the sport, there were no new boats and all I heard were stories of people quitting. But in the last five years no one has quit, there's a bunch of young paddles and the new boats are making things less frustrating for beginners. It's like we went through the Dark Age and have now entered the Renaissance.
It's always been easy for new open boaters to be adopted by the community and that's been strengthened through the online community on Facebook and Cboats.net. I think we've hit a critical mass. People are getting fired up and getting their friends into it. Canoeing is never going to be as popular as kayaking but I think there will always be open boats. Like John Grace said, there's a reason why canoes have been around a lot longer than kayaks.

|Desecrate? It's a great honor, you know. Being able to serve me in the afterlife.
—Xiao, in Chapter 55
|Professional Status
|Personal Status
Xiao (小; 샤오 Syao) is a Witch working under South with the ability to summon the dead. She accompanies Lee Bairong to the Bairong Empire.
Xiao is a small, thin girl that has pale, waist-length hair with a giant bow to tie it in place. She wears a ruqun with a frilly collar. She adds sandal wedges and a small witch hat to her outfit.
Xiao was confident in her abilities and quite sadistic. She payed no regard to violating the dead; always using necromancy on dead opponents. She tends to refer to her opponents as "Big sis", or "Big bro", and was shown to have a humor side, as she and Myun were commenting on how Tarras was originally supposed to be a side character. Xiao got along well with Myun, and according to Ameton, she was one of the witches loyal to Lee.
Deception in Bairong ArcEdit
Xiao reveals herself after Ameton was blasted by Kaiser Fist, she summons her corpses to attack Visul. After one of her corpses managed to kick Visul down, she is surprised to see her unscratched. When Myun finally manages to copy Visul's skills, they both slowly defeated her.
After Tarras wakes up, he buries all of her corpses, leaving her completely vulnerable. Tarras sinks her into the ground with Earthen Swamp. She comments on how a human could be this strong when he uses Earthen Flower. When she was about to be sent of as a prisoner, she was impaled and killed by Vihyun, a Night Crow sent to kill all intruders and Visul's older brother.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Necromancy: Xiao is a necromancer, which means that she revives the dead. She specifically uses the corpses of fallen B-Class WHs. The only way to defeat the corpses is to bash their heads in, which cuts off the connection between Xiao and the corpse. She isn't able to summon the dead from the earth, shown by when Tarras buried her corpses.
- Strengthening: She increases the strength of the corpses by infusing her mana into them, greatly increasing their physical abilities.
Mana Source (마력의 원천 Malyeog-ui Woncheon): Like all witches, Xiao produces her own mana which can be used to enhance her physical abilities in many aspects or to cast spells. It takes longer for witches to enhance their physical capabilities compared to chi users but the effects last for a full day.
- Enhanced Speed: The mana produced can increase the speed the witch can function.
- Enhanced Strength: Attacks reinforced with mana are more powerful than ordinary attacks.
- Enhanced Durability: By reinforcing their body with mana, witches are able to withstand attacks ordinary humans aren't able to.
- Quicker Recovery: Mana allows the witch's wounds to heal at a more rapid rate.
Mana Manipulation: After a witches' awakening, she can figure out how mana works instantly and manipulate it as naturally as she breathes.
Mana Storage: All witches are capable of naturally storing mana within their body, although to a limited extent.
Perception: A trait all witches possess, the ability to see mana.
Witch Hat (마녀의 모자 Manyeo-ui Moja): The hat is where the Mana Source is located and can store an endless amount of mana but when lost, the mana can't be retrieved from the missing hat. Oddly enough, the hat is made from mana itself.
- Xiao had a habit of putting her hand over her mouth while standing or talking.

Blessing of Keeping Oath and Covenant
Leviticus 26:1-13, Deuteronomy 29:1-17
Who shall ascend into the hill of יהוה? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from יהוה, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Psalms 24:3-5
All the paths of יהוה are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.Psalms 25:10

When John William Templeton arrived in San Jose in 1987 to take the job as editor of the San Jose Business Journal, he'd never met an African-American corporate executive.
Within a week, he attended a breakfast where a third of the technology
executives were African-Americans. It alerted him to a hidden phenomenon, the growth of high technology as a career field among blacks.
In 1989, he began the Black Executive Forum in Silicon Valley, a monthly gathering which explored key factors for success in cutting edge fields. That led to the book Success Secrets of Black Executives in 1992.
In 1998, he joined Kevin Hinkston, Jacqueline Anderson, Henry Hutchins, Harvey Pye and Dr. Keith Jackson to form the Coaliton for Fair Employment in Silicon Valley, which created a national coalition including the National Urban League, AFL-CIO and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers-USA to advocate for equal opportuity in high technology. Members of the coalition have testified several times to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on equal opportunity in high technology.
Roy Clay Sr. and Dr. Frank Greene, both members of the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame, asked Templeton in 1998 to create an exhibition on the contributions of African-Americans to technology for the Tech Museum of Innovation. The exhibit Turning the Century: African-American Innovators from the Industrial Age to the New Millennium profiled 20 19th century inventors and 20 Silicon Valley pioneers.
The next year, Templeton created the first 50 Most Important African-Americans in Techhnology list, bringing selectees together at the California African-American Museum in Los Angeles. Since then, the gathering has moved to Howard University in Washington, D.C. , Baltimore with the Black Engineer of the Year, Oakland, San Francisco, Las Vegas and last year in the Palo Alto City Hall, where the City Council paid
tribute to Clay, Greene and the late Ron L. Jones during a special council session following the opening reception.
The year also marked two other traditions; the annual publication of the Silicon Ceiling report on equal opportunity and high technology; and the annual Black Students Internet Guide.
The Black Students Internet Guide is a digital book which includes hundreds of online locations with culturally responsive content for students of African descent. These resources are critical to inspiring students to pursue demanding subjects which can prepare them for the careers of the future.
Paired with the documentary Freedom Riders of the Cutting Edge, BSIG can expose students to a wide world of careers which they never imagined. Thanks to the book and video, they'll be able to identify with pacesetters who have faced and overcome similar challenges to their own lives.
In 1999, the goal of the observance was to inspire a 50 percent increase in black technology employment, which was just over 400,000 then. The 2009 Silicon Ceiling report shows that the number has grown to 616,000, despite a lack of national attention to the issue. It is a measure of the intense interest among African-Americans in innovation.
The 50 Most Important African-Americans in Technology is an annual roster of the 50 African-Americans making the most significant impact on the global technology scene as innovtors, executives, educators or public policy drivers.
In 2010, the annual symposium is the launching pad for a national innovation competition which includes online courses and training for participants, who can then be linked with professional resources and funding as the process moves to conclusion during National Black Business Month in August.

Is it true that if the Valencian language is not "unified"
inside of the Catalan language the Valencian language will "lose
force" and will disappear ?
Everything opposite. The Valencian language is losing its
personality and its proper characteristics as consequence of the
Catalanist regulation that nowadays the A.V.L. imposes to it. A
catalanist regulation which does not correspond with the genuine
regulation of the Valencian language.
The Valencian language continues alive nowadays because the
valencian people have continued speaking it for centuries and still
continue doing it. It is a fact that the Valencian language has
never needed any "unification" with the Catalan
language to survive and to be a capable language of the highest
social and literary tops.
Actually the purpose of those ones who want this "unification"
is not other one than "to power" the Catalan language,
absorbing the millions of valencian-speakers as if they were catalan-speakers,
and to increase the catalanist political forces to claim the creation
of the artful project named "Països catalans"
("catalan countries"). In addition, they want also
to introduce the catalan bookseller business in the Valencian market
(educational books principally) and to obtain economic European
subsidies for the Catalan language that only institutions of Catalonia
would receive.
(Read more )
Why if, generally, the valencian people use a series of
fully valencian words and uses as, for example: "mosatros",
"vosatros", "en", "lo" (neutre),
"atre", "chocolate", "depòrt",
"cremà", "bellea", "vehícul",
they are replaced, in the model of written language regulated
by the A.V.L., with other words and different uses as: "nosaltres",
"vosaltres", "amb", "el" (neutre),
"altre", "xocolata", "esport", "cremada",
"bellesa", "vehicle" ? (words: "we,
you, in, the (neutre), other, chocolate, sport, burned,
beauty, vehicle") ?
Because the "Valencian Academy of the Language"
(A.V.L.) has elaborated a artful regulation for the Valencian
language with a plenty of words and uses of the Catalan language
which they are not proper to the Valencian language. The A.V.L.
promotes this incorrect linguistic regulation with the intention
to make believe that the Valencian language and the Catalan one
are the same languages (when it is not true).
To support the lie which the Valencian language and the
Catalan one are the same language, the A.V.L. has developed a
regulation that, with all the shamelessness of the world, introduces
lexicon, morphology and syntax of the catalan language, while
forbids and hides many genuine Valencian words and linguistic
forms only because they do not belong to the Catalan language.
The AVL does this nonsense to impose a false "unit
of the language" between the Valencian language and the
Catalan one.
(Read more )
Is it true that the regulation of the Valencian language elaborated
by the A.V.L. corresponds to an "educated" Valencian
language, whereas the valencian society speak an "incorrectly
spoken" Valencian language ?
It is a lie spread by the catalanist ones to confuse to the
valencian people and that they accept without any opposition that
in the educational system (colleges, institutes, universities) the
Valencian children are studying an incongruous and artificial mixture
of the Valencian language and the Catalan one, instead of the genuine
Valencian language.
(Read more )
Why are the valencian children studying in the colleges, institutes
and universities, a incongruous mixture of catalan language and
Valencian one instead of the genuine Valencian language ?
The catalanist people who are infiltrated inside the educational
Valencian system have as basic aim to indoctrinate in the catalanist
ideas the younger generations of Valencian people to transform them
in adults believing that what they speak is catalan language, that
they are of "catalan nation" and that they form
a part of the (fictitious) "Països catalans" ("catalan
Besides, It is important to know that the Valencian children
are studying in the colleges a manipulated and tendentious history
that presents, deceitfully, a great part of the historical-cultural
patrimony of the Kingdom of Valencia as if it would belong to Catalonia.
The aim of the catalanist ones is to make disappear the natural
feeling of love of the Valencian people towards their Valencian
language, traditions and identity and to introduce in them catalanist
feelings that would induce them to renounce of their Valencian language
and their proper culture, and to agree with the catalanist doctrine
and its imperialist ambitions on the historical Kingdom of Valencia.
(Read more )
What can we do to deactivate the catalanist indoctrination that
our children are suffering in schools, institutes and universities
The most important thing is that we have to educate and to
speak to our sons in the genuine Valencian language that always
we have spoken and that we learnt from our parents, grandparents
and relatives.
We have to have the firm conviction of what the Valencian language
that we speak is: "very well spoken" Valencian
language, though catalanists ones disguised as teachers or counselors
want to make us believe the opposite of it (to keep us quiet and
to get they political profit of it).
If we are capable, proudly and firmly, to transmit our sons,
grandsons or nephews, the genuine Valencian language that we inherit
from our parents, we will be protecting to the Valencian language
of its extinction and at the same time we will stop the catalanist
indoctrination that the catalanist people are applying to the valencian
society and more specifically to the younger generations of valencian
Besides, it would be very suitable that each of us was sending
to the politicians of the valencian government a letter demanding
the dissolution of the A.V.L. and also its catalanist linguistic
regulation, because neither this institution nor its works adapt
to the purposes for those that them were created, which are of promoting
and defending of the genuine Valencian language.
It is time to build a new "Academy of the Valencian
Language" that defends proudly and firmly the independent
and differentiated Valencian Language.

Have you been over to the new delta.com? It's updated, refreshed and all new! This is the second time that Delta has updated their main page since the merger with NWA, but this time instead of only a new landing splash page, everything has been made over/refreshed and looks new and improved. Welcome to the digital 21st century delta.com
Delta refreshed their home page but even better is the new My Delta Dashboard. The first time you log in you'll be prompted to choose a new password. Delta is moving away from the four-digit pin (even via their phone system) and moving to a password based system to add additional security to each person's account. The new My Delta is a personalized dashboard that stores all your personal information needed for flying (Secure flight info, legal Name, Preferred name, DOB, Passport Information, etc). However not only does the new My Delta save all your information for you like my old delta profile did, the new one can be customize based on your travel preferences, activities you enjoy while traveling, and your favorite destinations. Basically, it allows Delta to learn more about you so they can upsell items to you on your next vacation.
Other cool aspects of the new delta.com is when in your profile it not only lists out your upcoming trip, it displays recent receipts from purchases from Delta, displays your wallet with a list of all e-certs in your account, and even displays your preferred way of payment that you've saved to your account. You can save preferences such as your home airport, your special services needed (meals, wheel chair, etc), and even choose window or aisle preference so when the system auto books you into a seat, you're more likely to get one you want! All a MUCH welcome improvement.
Another neat aspect of the new Delta is the way it displays your skymiles earning. Now a pie graph displays your earning during the program year, dividing it up by categories such as flights, bonus, car rentals, or hotels.
There's a lot of new cool features to the new delta.com and I will definitely be checking it out more in the coming days. However, beware that it's still the Delta people building this website and as we all know the Delta IT team is FAR from 100% competent. Even today when trying to capture screen shots for this post I had a difficult time getting some of the pages to load/open due to java script issues.
Seat maps have also been updated!
Also despite delta claiming that it's an ALL NEW page, it really isn't. The broken award booking tool is still looks the same and is the SAME booking tool that Delta insist isn't broken. Is it improve? I honestly do not know, but it looks the same to me so I doubt it. Testing and in the days to come we will find out. But again, everything here is an improvement and hopefully this tool will be improved to. But then again Delta has been saying since the merger that their booking engine is not broken!
To see everything that Delta new webpage offers check out their What's New page.

The study is part of the larger DeepHeart study with Cardiogram and UCSF. This particular study used data from 14,000 Apple Watch users and was able to detect that 462 of them had diabetes by using the Watch's heart rate sensor, the same type of sensor other fitness bands using Android Wear also integrate into their systems.
In 2015, the Framingham Heart Study showed that resting heart rate and heart rate variability significantly predicted incident diabetes and hypertension. This led to the impetus to use the Watch's heart rate sensor to see if it could accurately detect a diabetic patient."

Hi folks! I hope you are all enjoying this fine fall season so far! Yes, it has been raining a lot, but have you looked around? All of the trees are starting to turn and it is beautiful! I have been looking as much as possible while trying to maintain my bus schedule and not miss people! ☺
There is a particular topic I have been wanting to write about for the past week or so, but another one came up today that bothers me even more. So what I am going to try to do is "interline" (bus talk that means "connect") the two topics and hopefully, you will see the correlation!
Since I don't really know where to begin, I will start with a quote that 'Z's daughter brought home last year from her band teacher: "Early" is on time, "On time" is late, and "Late" is unacceptable. 'Z and I were both floored with the quote from his genius daughter and it stuck with me. . .
Forewarning: This will discuss my work and specifics of my work day and WHY certain things do not work. My comments will be applicable to all fields of work, but if you don't want to read about a bus driver's day and how it was inefficient, then stop now and google on.
Okay. I am a bus driver and I am also a "Big-Picture" person in my thoughts. The purpose of a bus company, and any transportation company, is to get folks from one destination to another in the most safe, timely, and cost-efficient way for everyone. SUPER bonuses include: friendliness, helpfulness, and a general NICE attitude that leaves a customer unafraid to ask another question and want to ride again.
Now let me explain something else. There is one particular route that my company is looking to change because it seems to always run late. The route in question is FINE the way it is and is also the SAFEST option for riders. The real problem with the route is that the previous route it "interlines" with is always late (because it is completely busy and that is the one they should change), so then the route they want to change is behind schedule before ever getting started, which is WHY it is late. Oh, and then there's this other thing called a "garage detour". . .
Definition of a "Garage Detour": n: a major waste of time for everyone involved, except for one person that may actually not have a ride and need the bus. V: we have to waste 3-5 extra minutes actually driving there to pick up co-workers that could take a staff-vehicle and save us ALL a lot of time. Adj: unnecesary in most instances. Adv: Utterly annoying for no useful purpose.
What a "garage detour" really means is that we pick up co-workers on our bus route and detour off our normal route and transport them to their buses downtown and then the opposite-direction bus driver takes co-workers back to their cars. The problem is, this takes TIME and makes us late! The problem is NOT the route, it is both the route before and THEN the added garage detours.
This is how it actually plays out, as I did this particular route today: I busted butt to catch up and get downtown on time for my transfers, only to find out that I had to wait for two drivers going back to the garage. The problem was, one of the drivers was late and then I STILL had to do an extra detour to drop them off before I could continue my normal route. Bottom line: Caught up downtown, then 12 minutes behind after garage detour. SUPER bottom line: I had 2 hours of rain-soaked people that stood an extra 5-15 minutes in the rain because I had to wait AND transport fellow drivers to the garage when we have perfectly functional staff vans for that purpose. Wet passengers waiting for a late bus are not happy and make added phone calls to customer service and stressed-out bus drivers (when the stress could be avoided) are even more harassed by passengers that have a VALID AVOIDABLE point. You see, we have actual vans that drivers utilize to get downtown and other route-relieving places on campus. It makes no sense to me WHY we make both passengers and drivers late for routes when we have a system in place already to transport everyone more quickly and efficiently.
Although this is somewhat a personal rant (on behalf of some of my co-workers as well), I would just like to point out that companies should LISTEN to what the employees have to say.. We are actually doing the job. Listen to our suggestions.
Oh, I forgot! This is not a great segue between topics, but I would also like to add that the recent focus on hair and uniforms is not a valuable use of energy. Our passengers do not care how we are dressed or what our hair looks like. Are the complaint calls EVER regarding those issues? Doubt it. Our passengers want to be transported from one place to another and have NICE people doing it in a timely manner. (perhaps a poll could be taken regarding values of the passengers, if that would make anyone feel better) If anything, I would think that we would be advertising the fact that we promote diversity in the workplace. Let's focus on getting folks to where they need to be on time and being NICE to them. It works better that way. . . 🙂
And although "late is unacceptable", in this case, I would LOVE to have our concerns heard. Please listen to our suggestions. We want things to be better for all of us!
Gotta go! I am thinking PIZZA for dinner tonite! 🙂

There's a lot of information out there. Some of it is junk, some of it is frame-worthy. For every dozen foam-spewing-from-mouth rants out there, there's a well-thought-out, factual, logical piece of work that deserves your attention.

As far as zombie movies go, MUTANT is okay. The pace moves along quickly with a passable body count, but the whole thing is just too by-the-book for my tastes. It doesn't have that special personality to it that makes other lower-budget 80's horror films like THE ABOMINATION, THE NAIL GUN MASSACRE, NIGHT OF THE CREEPS or BLACK ROSES so awesome. Although I did get a kick out of Wings Hauser's shorts, the boom mic reflection in the police car window, the blonde driving with her hand hovering over the steering wheel (she even turns a corner without moving the wheel), the obviously fake hand on that one zombie and the other zombie who trips and stumbles skull first into a wall. Ouch!
There is a slight charm to MUTANT and 80's horror fans will see that, but the charm will be lost on other less experienced viewers.

Please read the disclaimer. The author is not providing professional investing advice. Alas like many of my so-called brilliant flashes of insight, a little googling revealed that not only had others come up with it decades earlier, but their techniques were more elegant and robust than my first stab. Now anyone familiar with the basic workings of the stock market knows that you can make money in either an up or down market, by using both long and short positions.
But the catch is, you have to know which way the market is heading in order to know which to use. Easier said that done, even for the pros. But with pairs trading, you are performing trades that are theoretically, at least market neutral. As long as the pair ratio reverts to the mean, you make money — regardless of whether you re-arrive at the mean by the short decreasing in price, the long increasing in price, or both. Now I could code up a script to perform correlations between the historical price movements of hundreds of stocks in order to find those that move together, but I have a simpler idea.
To me at least, they are roughly equivalent businesses, and which one I go to depends solely on which one is closer when I need something. They definitely do seem to move together. And I could compute a correlation on the price movements to confirm what I see visually. But perhaps a more important question is not is the relationship between LOW and HD highly correlated, but rather is it mean-reverting. Because my making a profit depends upon this. So, we appear to know the habits and patterns of this animal.
Time to set a trap and lie in wait…. But this creature is dangerous and could eat us alive, so we have to be careful. We see that in the pair ratio often makes excursions 1 or 2 standard deviations above or below the mean. We could spring the trap then but we might end up making lots of trades for tiny profits, and the commissions could eat us alive too. Examining the figure above, we do see one time when the ratio appeared to go almost 3 standard deviations from the mean.
Therefore that will be our criteria for And a little over a month later, on August 16, , the ratio reverted to the mean so we exited both positions.
So our long LOW position was a Therefore our equal dollar positions averaged out to a 6. And indeed it shortly does. On September 24, the ratio has now gone 3 standard deviations above the mean. So this time we end up doing the reverse as the previous time.
And a little less than 2 months later, the ratio has once again reverted to the mean. And this is the last time we get to pounce in And further, we were only committed to a pair trade about 3 months of the whole year.
While we were waiting we could have kept our money in a low-volatility bond index fund e. And should your mean and standard deviations be based on last year or multiple years? A fixed start and stop date or a moving average? Should you jump in at 2, 2. Hey nice blog… I am planning to do a dissertation on pairs trading….
Could you suggest an aspect of pairs trading on which i could do my dissertation…. I think your best bet is probably to check out the following book from one of your countrymen, I believe for a particular aspect that grabs you. Best of luck on your dissertation. Hey thanks a ton, Ive ordered for the same book and also another one from whistler. Will start as soon as i get them. Also ill try and post you about my progress if its k with you. This is good stuff. Can I ask what resource you use to create your charts.
I seem to have gone as far as I can go with Excell, unless there is a way to add the lines noting the standard deviations on the slide with the prices ratios.
I use Matlab for my own analysis. Otherwise you might want to investigate using Excel or OpenOffice Calc. How are you arriving at this figure? And how do you calculate the equivalent dollar values for the pairs. You could use the ratio on the day that you enter the trade — but this ratio obviously changes as the trade goes on.
Thanks for writing Chris. Actually when I went through the math I realized that what I thought was a simple ROR computation is maybe not so simple.
The position returns are:. Hi Lumi, I dont have much knowledge about pair trading and statistical arbitrage,but i would love to know about it. Currently i am working as a research associate for equity class. Manish — see my October 12, comment above for a link to a book in Amazon that is popular re: Not wanting to spam you but this might be helpful for anyone who has really struggled to find affordable retail software that truly does the job of testing and assessing the tradeability of cointegrated pairs.
My partner and I used to model our cointegration pair trades in excel but hit limits. So we decided to build a more flexible and faster tool for release in Q4 this year and will be commercialising it. Obviously we are bullish about the product. But anyone joining the beta starting next month on the current schedule will be able to judge how comprehensive it is for themselves.
Then just multiply by 2 and 3 for the other two numbers. The basic idea behind pairs trading is this: Find a pair of stocks or ETFs whose prices tend to move together. If the price movements are indeed highly correlated, then on most days the price per share of Stock A divided by the price per share of Stock B should come out to be about the same number, within a small range.
If you do, enter a pairs trade. This will involve simultaneously shorting one of the stocks while taking a long position in the other. At some time in the future when the price ratio hopefully reverts to the mean, exit the pair trade, wire that almost riskless profit to your checking account, and take your wife out to a nice dinner.
Time to set a trap and lie in wait… But this creature is dangerous and could eat us alive, so we have to be careful. So we take a This averages to a 9. Backtest to derive your own optimized parameters and have fun. Hey, Nice blog and article you got here. Hi Srinivas, Thanks for the comments. Also ill try and post you about my progress if its k with you Thanks. Great article but I have a query regarding the dates used for calculating the mean.
If a strategy such as this is used when should the mean and std devs be recalculated? Hi Jadish, I use Matlab for my own analysis. Any info you can provide would be useful!

Upon release Counter Strike, the Half Life mode turned franchise, set a new standard for competitive high skill-ceiling FPS. The original mod was created by just two individuals including Minh Le, who after leaving Valve went to South Korea to develop a new FPS called Tactical Intervention. The new FPS marks a transition away from the single spawn last man standing style of play Le developed for Counter Strike.
Instead, Tactical Intervention focuses on offering a variety of alternatives including modes more focused around hostage situations which admittedly felt like low priority side objectives in Counter Strike maps like cs_office. There is even a VIP escort mode which has players escorting a VIP in a vehicle to a designated drop point while terrorist attempt to catch up to the VIP, eliminate him and secure the briefcase he is carrying.
Overall, the FPS focuses on giving players options and opportunities to take advantage of in order to complete objectives. Players can call in attack dogs to aid them, and even make use of tactical rappel ropes to gain the upper hand on the opposing force. Terrorists can even use cowering civilians scattered around the map as human shields, making team-play and coordination a key component of Tactical Intervention.
A small closed beta will kick off on March 4th through the 8th with the official open beta beginning on March 14th and the full North American launch scheduled for March 28th.

People think that Counter-Strike was supposed to be an arcade shooter, which is false.. I think this is closer to what he originally wanted to achieve in Counter-Strike, which is authentic Swat vs Terrorist combat..The engine, modding experience and players turned it into the "I run with knife to snipe joo" arcade game we got now. And although people cherish tradition, I think the game looks more it's part now..
Looks like real Swat operations and look at bullet hit animations! These guys are really being shot, not so much tickled as in previous CS games..
I'll try it because of how much I enjoy a more tactical shooter though I will probably be the only one, judging by the CS, CSS, and CS:GO pop counts on Steam..
That's the impression they want to give you with this video but once you've seen how players hop around on one foot after getting shot in the leg you'll realize this game is much more silly and over the top than CS ever was.
Played this game a long time ago. hardly anyone was on it. i began talking shit. a few devs were in the room asking me what i didnt like. i talked shit to them too then uninstalled the game. was really dated and shitty and although they tried to add a lot of cool things it didnt do a damn thing to up the overall quality of this sack of shit
we have enough modern warfare and Sci-FI shooters
the only fun thing is `Using civilians as shields`
It looks like a glorified version of Time Crisis.
Trust me guys this game sucks, I have played this when it was in closed beta and this game for me was really bad, for me it was like a Tom Clancy Online clone also that everything was just very choppy (especially when driving) dont let the trailer fool this game is crap, I recommend just playing Tome Clancy Online or Arctic Combat
This game is more like the SWAT series rather than counter-strike. I loved how you can command attack dogs, rappel down buildings, and use hostages as shield. Your character even limps if he gets shot in the legs.
The only thing i didn't really like in the cbt was the lobby system. It took forever to start a match and it was way easier to join a match that was in progress. Also the game didn't have a tutorial in the cbt, so i had to look up the controls.
Also driving cars in that game was a lot harder compared to other games. I didn't play the game type with cars because everybody kept crashing into the walls. Most of the people had no idea what to do. They assume the game is like a death match so they ignore objectives and even shoot hostages for no reason =/
Counter Strike on crystal meth. Hard to believe this game has anything to do with the guy that started CS.
I played in the closed beta. Weapons were unbalanced, earning the upkeep for your equipment took a huge amount of time, and stuff like the riot shield was cash shop exclusive. If none of that has changed, this game won't be worth anyone's time.
Thanks for the info
I have some small hopes for this game small beta with super fast obt means the game is pretty much past cbt but could fail hard, Im interested in seeing how this one unfolds
soooooooooooo, when's European version gonna be released?
Using civilians as shields shooting people while someones driving and being a "couter-strike copy" at least weapon wise(as far as the weapons shown in the trailer)
Yep i'll try this hopefully it wont have ip blocks since i am from europe.Kinda sucks that the cb is only 4 days but meh who cares at least we know when ob is and when its going live on US so its good i just hope they dont make it p2w
I'll be waiting for this
bout time
And still no word as to when it will arrive here in Europe.
looks rl nice
Looks like a mediocre title.
Boy youre being nice.
I cannot believe that no one has said anything about me not saying mounted. Also from the other comments it looks like it is under mediocre but I haven't played it yet.

Bruce Crampton win in Hawaii was a long time coming…
In 1969, Bruce Crampton decided enough is enough, its time for a win. The Australian native did just that in early November of the 1969 PGA Tour season. He had been winless in his previous four seasons despite having a breakout year in 1965 with three wins. He had finally entered the winner's circle in Hawaii by shooting five-under-par 67. The win was absolutely deserved when he held off the one and only Jack Nicklaus and edged the "Golden Bear" by four strokes. Crampton finished with a 72 hole score of 274 opposed to Nicklaus 278.
There was something at stake although for Nicklaus as well. He was trying to become the second man to reach 1 million dollars in career earnings behind only Arnold Palmer. This event could of made that happen, but the young Australian Crampton had other ideas.

Here in L.A., when it comes to burgers, people talk about Nancy Silverton's hamburger meat, but strangely, nobody ever mentions her buns. I was making Nancy's classic burger buffet for my family recently, and in addition to the famously fatty blend of 18% fat prime chuck with an extra, whopping 20% fat (that's fat trimmed from all the best cuts of meat) ground in, sold as "Nancy Silverton Grind" at Huntington Meats in the Original Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax, I went to buy the buns she now also insists on. NS used to serve her burgers on crusty European-style rolls. It's not that I have anything against crusty European-style anything, it's just not what I want in a hamburger bun. Me and her boyfriend, a crime reporter who sometimes writes under the pen name Morty Goldstein, often rebelled and bought soft, cheap grocery store buns for ourselves. Then Nancy found these—Thees Continental Pastries. When I asked the guy behind the counter, who turned out to the be the owner, Thee— ...Read More
I wonder if the guy at Sur La Table can sell me one of these? I actually got out of bed to get my laptop after I got this email, on my bedside iPhone, from my whole-Mexican half-sister, Iridia, in response to the letter I sent her yesterday. (I mean, look at this picture!) So aunt Rosita said to use a "escobeta de maiz" since it is obvios that i don't know how to translate that, i decided to send you an image so you can know what i'm talking about. And you can also smash corn (instead/besides rice), should repeat 2 or 3 times after cleaning with the escobeta, and at the end you again use the escobeta. Let me know how this turns out! Suerte! There you go. From a real live, molcajete using Mexican guacamole maker. (As opposed to the guy on the phone at Sur la Table.) I assume that I am supposed to buy the broom, presumably made with some part of corn, and not the smiling corn cobber. Assuming they don't sell them at SLT, I know where I'm going Memorial Day weekend... Getting my hand ...Read More
This is a stolen photograph of a molcajete just like the one I purchased. If I get sued, I'm moving to Mexico, which might be the best thing anyway. The Foodinista and I, both being, essentially, big talkers and guacamole-making novices, have each found ourselves facing an impending Guac-Off, with molcajetes, and no real idea what to do with them. Both of our molcajetes were sold to us as "pre-seasoned," but I found out the relative nature of this term when I made my first batch of guacamole in this primitive mortar—extremely tasty (if I do say so myself), but unmistakably, errr... sandy. As I posted in a comment on the Foodinista blog, I got in a fight with some poor guy on the other end of the phone at Sur La Table yesterday over the exact definition of "pre-seasoned." "You must have a lot going on," he said (and I wanted to strangle him), implying that no sane and healthy human being could get as worked up as I was over a bit of finely ground black lava in her guacamole.

Casa, Sweet Casa: I love that there's a Carl's Jr. on the ground floor. In honor of the Caesar Hotel, where the Caesar salad was invented, which died today... With its ornate facade (what is this style called?), and a sort of museum to trajes de luces,—which translates "suits of lights," the shimmering, adorned outfits that bullfighters wear—in the lobby, the Hotel Caesars somehow managed to be, to the end, a remnant of Old Tijuana. I remember going there with my dad, who had a restaurant across the street, and who, when he first moved to Tijuana from Acapulco in the 1950s, used to work as a waiter at the Caesar Hotel and toss the salads table side himself. I love that Tijuana. I love that salad. And even when the restaurant renamed itself the Caesar Sports Bar & Grill and hung a row of track lights and televisions, they still turned out one of the best Caesar Salads I have ever eaten. I wish I knew the secret. Is it the fake Parmesan cheese that comes out of a can? Th ...Read More

Thorough and Efficient Education and Teacher Tenure in New Jersey.
Geiger, James
The ramifications of a decision by the New Jersey Supreme Court that legislation shall provide for the maintenance and support of a "thorough and efficient" system of free public education for all children in the state from ages 5 to 18 are discussed. Salient points made by the court in the decision are examined, and ensuing reactions from the state legislators and education associations are cited. The following resultant problems are described: (1) defining a "thorough and efficient" system of education was found to be difficult; (2) legislation on tax allocations for school districts was delayed because of disagreements between different school districts; (3) arguments arose on the subject of teacher accountability and evaluation; (4) the State Department of Education took major financial decisions away from local school boards; (5) questions arose on the subject of teacher tenure, employment, and certification; and (6) a demand for a commission to study the process of teacher education evoked strong objections from education associations.

CLAREMONT – With a No. 1 ranking and a combined zero league losses in tow, the Damien and Claremont boys soccer teams entered Wednesday night's Sierra League showdown happy.
After a scoreless tie that included overtime, everybody also left happy.
"We knew it wasn't going to be pretty," Damien coach Eric McElrea said. "We knew it was going to be a lot of bumps and bruises, but this is a good result for us, especially on the road."
Said Claremont coach Fred Bruce-Oliver: "I'm happy. The only way I could be happier is if we'd gotten one of those goals to go in."
Claremont, which boasts the top ranking in Division II thanks to no losses – inside or outside the Sierra League – had several quality opportunities to score, but even without starting goalie Garrett Franklin, who tore his ACL in practice Monday, the Spartans (7-2-6, 4-0-1) held off numerous scoring chances for the Wolfpack (12-0-5, 4-0-1).
The most-exciting scoring opportunity was saved for last, when Claremont defender Stephen Barba fired a shot from the corner of the box that bounced off the middle of the crossbar with three minutes remaining in overtime.
Coming in a close second to that was a three-on-one for Claremont early in the second half, except junior midfielder Troy Ford wasn't aware of the Wolfpack's advantage in numbers after a scramble in front of the net. Ford ended up with the ball less than 10 yards from the net with two Claremont teammates flanking him, but with his back to the goal, he quickly flipped the ball backwards, only to have Damien backup goalie Tim Schwan easily save the slow roller.
"We had some really good chances," Bruce-Oliver said. "When the time comes again to play them at the end of the season, we'll gear up again."
Damien, which had just four shots to Claremont's 10, had a couple of good runs at the net but didn't much test Wolfpack keeper Jake Teagle.
With four minutes remaining in overtime, Damien's Ryan Purington got behind one defender but was forced to shoot earlier than he wanted as a second Claremont defender closed in. The junior forward's shot rolled harmlessly wide of the net.
"I think (Franklin) was definitely the best goalkeeper in the league, but Tim helped us a lot tonight," McElrea said.
"I think we showed them we can play with them. When we get them at our place, we want to try and play our game a little bit more. Instead of the ball in the air a lot, we'd like to try and keep it on the ground."

It has been, for the last month or so, nothing but exchange students all day long. And not the fun stuff either. It has been calling for host families and getting no's; talking to families that you think will host and then two weeks later (time I DO NOT have) they decide not to; in one case signing up a family and then getting a call saying that one of their references had talked them out of hosting 3 days before the student's arrival. And paperwork, lots of paperwork. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel seems to be very long. And I have signed several up for classes and filled out lots of school forms and get bus passes and move students around and...and....and. There wasn't even any time to take them to the Toppenish Indian Museum and Miner's. So it was great to get out of town and not do anything. To just watch the waves come in on the Oregon Coast. To sit in the mountains while everyone else rides the ski lift up and slides down the mountain.
Came home from that, unpacked, paid attention to the dog, then it was off to the airport for the last time to pick up the Dutch kid. He arrived at 10:00 pm. He had been able to sleep a little on the airplane, but basically went right to sleep when he got to our house. Woke up at 5:45 because the school wants him there at 7:00 and we have to pick up another student. Picked him up from school (where he did not fall asleep in class) at 2:40, drove around for a couple hours scoping out bus stops for three students and buying bus passes. Bought a backpack, tried to change money. Picked up our other student, came home, made dinner, ate, did homework and then he started to read. This picture was taken approximately 24 hours after he arrived. That is how he woke up at 6:30 the next morning.

How much will be the cost to maintain .COM domain name
How much will be the cost to maintain .COM domain name
Depends where you get it from, shop around
There are a lot of companys that can provide a cheap service but your best bet is to find something that can handle what you need.
If I buy a domain... can I store file in it? :roll:
Its not really the domain that handles that its the place you have the storage from that decides if you can "store" files on your space. Most places I think would allow you to store files aslong as its not files that cotian porn or stuff like that.
Domain Name is just the name only.
To store files, you need space in web server. This is different from domain name.

In choosing the registrar also one should be very careful.The registrar should be reliable and provide services at affordable cost.I chose 9cubehosting.com since the cost is low when I get the domain registration and hosting as a package from them. Its $6.00/year with their hosting packing and $9.95/year without hosting.

Alca Vexus
|Track Material
Alca Vexus is a race track, with three variations located within a Mexican jungle. The course made its sole appearance in Wipeout Fusion.
The jungle landscape surrounding Alca Vexus gives a stunning backdrop to this much-loved circuit, a particular favourite of Wolfgang Van-Über, owner of Van-Über Racing Development. As he says, "Perhaps it is the heady aroma of lush vegetation and exotic fruits that excites me. Perhaps it is the presence of Mayan temples, or the circuit's intriguing ballet through the trees. All I know is that when I pass through the passenger terminal at the Alca Vexus International Travel Port and browse the toiletry section of the duty-free store, I feel an irresistible frisson of excitement, and I know I am close to a primitive and vital ancient culture."
Short CourseEdit
This track, like the other courses, likes to throw you around undulating crests and blind corners. It also takes you through 2 open sections - the first you have to avoid a large boulder whereas the second is more flat but obstructed by two giant pillars.
Medium CourseEdit
This course bring you through the ruins of the Mayan civilization, passing by various Mayan temples; even going in one! Be careful here as there are two routes to take, with a pressure pad dictating which door is open. The race always starts with the right door open, so aim here first.
Long CourseEdit
This course winds its way along the canyon of Alca Vexus and has many unique features such as a vertical wallride behind a waterfall and 50m drop from another fall.
