Musical Friday Everywhere

Dear friends,

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967 in London. Due to numerous line-up changes, the only original member present in the band is its namesake, drummer Mick Fleetwood. Although band founder Peter Green named the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, bassist John McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts, as he initially decided to stay with Mayall. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, who joined the band in 1970 while married to John McVie, appeared on all but the debut album, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House.
The two most successful periods for the band were during the late 1960s British blues boom, when they were led by guitarist Peter Green and achieved a UK number one with "Albatross"; and from 1975 to 1987, as a more pop oriented act, featuring Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood Macs second album after the incorporation of Buckingham and Nicks, 1977s Rumours, produced four U.S. Top 10 singles (including Nicks song "Dreams"), and remained at No.1 on the American albums chart for 31 weeks, as well as reaching the top spot in various countries around the world. To date the album has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, making it the 4th highest selling album of all time.
The band achieved more modest success in the intervening period between 1971 and 1974, with the line-up including Bob Welch, and also during the 1990s in between the departure and return of Nicks and Buckingham, and in 1998, the departure of Christine McVie. In 1998, selected members of Fleetwood Mac were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band have sold over 120 million albums worldwide with a certified 48,500,000 units sold in the U.S.

2011 Ferrari 599 GTO Review

The new Ferrari 599 GTO Berlinetta V12 is an extreme emphasis on developed a short-term results. The Ferrari 599 GTO is, in fact, the companys fastest road car ever. This is a special limited edition exclusive, in the true tradition of Ferrari, is a totally new concept, although inspired by a production car. Indeed, the Ferrari 599 GTO is based on the 599XX, experimental advanced race car, and can be considered almost like a version of the current route.

The Ferrari 599 GTO is reserved for only 599 customers, seeking the maximum expression of high-performance driving. The Ferrari 599 GTO direct beneficiaries of technology transfer Racing and set a lap record at Fiorano in 124 ".




Fiorano lap time offers only an indication of the potential of this car. Equally important are the technical specifications - 1495kg car 670 hp power to weight ratio is only 2.23 kg / hp, and guarantees from 0-100 km / h acceleration takes only 3.35 "and a top speed of over 335 km / h.

Fundamental to the performance of the GTO is its innovative approach to chassis development for the first time on a production car, so the integration between handling establishment to listen to a level of responsiveness that is close to the border and sophisticated electronic control. The result is the almost complete lack of understeer and a very communicative chassis.

As Ferrari policy, each new Ferrari has new solutions for a street car. Thus, the Ferrari 599 GTO is equipped with the latest, the second generation of the carbon ceramic brakes are lighter and offer better performance, new aerodynamic innovations, such as cakes wheels that increase aerodynamic efficiency and improved cooling brakes and tires developed by Michelin Supersport include a wider front tire for later use. The interface for the car-driver is also new, with the approval of the virtual race engineer (VRE), which provides the driver with immediate feedback on performance.

Ferrari 599 GTO aggressive nature is also reflected in a series of exterior design draws 599XX and a strong voice in the V12.

The GTO (Gran Turismo Omologata) nickname instantly recalls two Ferraris, has entered the collective imagination as symbols of performance. After the 1962 250 GTO, which swept the boards in the GT class racing in 1960 and is now a prized collector car, came the iconic 1984 GTO, making it invented the genre any modern supercar.

Web Special Rapporteur includes photos, videos and interviews about the new car, while an exclusive preview of a small number of Ferrari customers to be held April 14 at the Military Academy of Modena. The public debut of the Ferrari 599 GTO will be held at the Salon International de lAutomobile in Beijing in late April.




Engine and transmission

Ferrari 599 GTO engine is directly derived from the 599XX, however, make the necessary changes in the road going type. It therefore complies with Euro 5 and LEV 2 standards. 5999 cc 65 ° V12 punches from 670 hp at 8250 rpm for torque of 620 Nm at 6,500 rpm and is smooth, continuous running power to redline without losing the flexibility of up to medium and low speeds. This result was obtained working in fluid dynamics and components to reduce internal friction and adoption, among other things, revised the 599XX crankshaft. The car is also a race-type intake system with a new manifold, diffuser-type geometry intake and a short section of suction to improve power delivery at high revs, and reduce losses. To maximize the efficiency of the volume per cylinder, connect the two boxes in front of the interface to compensate for fluctuations in volume.

Thus, the engineers have managed to achieve maximum performance at high speeds. Engine noise inside the vehicle is carefully controlled to balance the intake from the exhaust, which has a 599XX derivatives 6-in-1 manifold.

The Ferrari 599 GTO has it, 60 times more small change and the possibility of multiple downshifts as the 599XX.

Vehicle Dynamics

One of the most significant innovations of the Ferrari 599 GTO is a close correlation between the installation base, which is close to the processing of the border, and investing in electronic controls that have been developed to increase the overall performance.

Because of the first countries in two cars, "the development of the Maranellos engineers work to ensure that these two areas of the car to be fully integrated so as to push the reactivity of the border. The result is, of course, the involvement of superlative guide as well as lap times faster. In addition, new springs and stiffer rear anti-roll bar, the car is another. magnetorheological suspension system generation (SCM2) suspension works with VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) and the latest generation of F1-Trac traction control This makes the car reacts much driver input. - in part thanks to a very direct steering ratio - but also very stable under braking, sharper cornering, cornering precision and fast corners.

WEIGHT REDUCTION

The Ferrari 599 GTO inherits much of the development work - the same principles used in Formula 1 - which came into 599XX make a great performance car. Weight reduction is a vital goal and the result was the massive use of composite materials and components made with technologies related to the specifications of the race. The affected areas include the body and the greenhouse (glass aluminum thinner), brakes, transmission and exhaust system. The result is a dry weight of 1495 kg and a power to weight ratio of just 2.23 kg / hp, a very important figure that highlights the performance potential of the GTO.

AERODYNAMICS

Ferrari 599 GTO has benefited significantly from the aerodynamics of the Ferrari engineers and 599XX F1 experience that has allowed to significantly increase the downforce without the dragging effect. Thanks for your solutions are transferred to the track the car road-going version of the GTO to produce 144 kg of downforce of 200 km / h. The car was polished, the front and sides, flat base and the cooling power. In the latter case, the GTO can not rely on the system behavior is improved brake discs and brake pads, donuts and the adoption of the wheel - plate located outside the brake disc ensures that the outlet is hot wheel so close to the body of the car as much as possible to reduce drag.

Work on the nose of the car was to reduce the width of the wake generated by the front and reduce drag. The front spoiler incorporates a separate wing which increases to less support for the front of the car and increases the flow of cooling air oil cooler. On the sides there is a new concept of threshold with a touch sharper edge that improves the efficiency of the central section of the base. The base incorporates a new front in the lower section with broadcasters ahead of the front wheels for maximum support and a rear diffuser double curve again.




Wheels and tires

Thats the difference between the diameter of the front and rear tires have been changed. GTO front tires are 285/30 is now 9.5 "channel 315/35 is 11.5" behind the channel. Ferrari 599 GTO has 20 "wheels. Stiffness is larger than the rear to reduce understeer. These solutions provide greater lateral grip and quick turn

BRAKES

CCM2 a new braking system is lighter and more consistent with the high performance situations. Its coefficient of friction constant ensured that the ABS can be calibrated to very high levels of performance, reducing lap times, with shorter stopping distances and improved braking. Indeed, the Ferrari 599 GTO is an excellent 100-0 kmh stopping distance, only 32.5 meters. And their role in improving the aerodynamics, the Formula 1 derived from the wheel of the monks also improves braking performance by optimizing the cooling of the brakes.

CAR-Driver Interface

The interface for the car-driver was designed to maximize the performance of the car and the driver with a provision of the main controls to ensure absolute efficiency and driver distraction. Manettino Racing also places special emphasis on sports, standards of conduct to be followed in offering the choice of the pilot complete with respect to the configuration of electronic control. The position in the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano ICE has been replaced by CT-off (traction control off). The GTO is also equipped with custom, more carbon fiber F1 paddles to facilitate the use of high speed driving. In addition, the GTO also virtual race engineer, a system that monitors the status of the vehicle and provides an immediate return of the vehicle driver.

What Is Your Inner Drive

"Passion is a huge prerequisite to winning. It makes you willing to jump through hoops, go through all the ups and downs and everything in between to reach your goal."
-Kerri Walsh
     Motivation is part of a persons everyday life. Anything you do has something to do with motivation. If you are hungry, you are motivated to eat. It youre tired, you are motivated to sleep. There are many different factors that can influence your motivation and your motivation can naturally change overtime. Every person is motivated by different things. Motivation affects every part of your performance. Cheadle says," When your level of motivation is low, it can do many things. Affect your desire to train, be a strain on your relationships making it difficult to communicate with your coaches and teammates, knock you off course, make you feel like you cant handle the obstacles you encounter, cause you to barely have enough energy to go through the motions in practice, stunt your creativity, affect how you feel about yourself as an athlete, and affect your enjoyment of the sport." (Cheadle 28) These are all the very things that make athletes want to participate in their sport, and with lack of motivation, it makes it harder for athletes to compete or participate in these activities. Cheadle explains that in sports, athletes constantly get the romanticized message that if they have enough love for the game, they can overcome anything. Motivation is often oversimplified into terms like passion and heart, when in fact there are many factors that contribute to an athletes level of motivation. (Cheadle 29) Sometimes athletes feel like they are extremely motivated to train, and other times it is the last thing they want to do. Having times of low motivation is really normal, but athletes should figure out what is going on because even though it may be normal, but not wanting to train or being motivated is not something that you should just push aside or sweep under the rug.
     Many things influence which direction people focus their efforts in. There are two sources of motivation according to Cheadle. Internal motivation and external motivation. Internal motivation is the desire that comes from inside of you. External motivation is the motivation that comes from the outside of you. Internal motivation is your "inner drive" or your love and passion for what you do. This is really what makes your sport meaningful to you. External motivation is when you are influenced to do something by things that are outside of you. You might participate for external rewards, winning trophies, making friends, etc. External motivations are the reasons that you play/compete other than just the pure joy of participating.
     Cheadle has helped me understand more that just having passion and liking a sport will not ultimately reach an athletes desired outcome. Motivation and having the desire to work hard and get better is what will help you be successful, and people cant just hope for something good to happen if they dont put time and effort into it. Having a strong inner drive is very good because it can help turn disappointments into positive outcomes instead of negative ones. Whenever I am having bad days or bad games, I have been much more capable of turning my game around by getting my head right. I know that I did something bad and it had a negative impact on the game, but there isnt anything I can do about it and I have to try and focus on the next play because that is what really matters.



What motivates you when you wake up every day and how does it help you achieve your goals?

My Magical Shoes

Dearest friends,

I meant to write to you about this adorable shoes a very long time ago! When my friend, Ioana, was visiting me and my awesome fiancee in August, we also went for some girly shopping sprees :) We went to House and I bumped into these adorable summer shoes that were so cheap that they were yelling for my help, to get them off the shelve and take them to the counter, buy them and take them home happy :) Which I did!
They have this adorable blue inside with white dots and on the heel you have a heart sign <3
I must admit I wore these shoes a lot since then, and I know/think you seen me in them :p Here and here  :)
And I must say they are not the first choice I would have had ;))) but they are really comfortable and I can barely feel them :) My feet are happy and I did not have one blister since I wore them first time! And that does not happen very often, as I do have a large number in shoe size for a lady... I do not even wanna think about the wedding shoes... that will be insane to search for!

**I wrote this email out of love and no one payed me for it!**

Yours truly,
The Shoe Lover LadyBug
