1:15 Vocal-Elektro mix - Mixed and compiled by DJ Tone
Party at Woodstock restobar with the El Quinto Drumbeaters and DJ Tone of the Metro Lounge Davao as they bring you CHICA TODOS A BAILAR!The theme for this year is:
“Nahiusang Katawhan Nakigdait sa Kalibutan”
(“One People in Communion with the Earth”)
This year’s celebration has two main components:
Lumadnong Kasaulogan (Indigenous Peoples Festival) - the core of the Kadayawan Festival showcasing our indigenous peoples’ culture and arts.
As with last year's Ferrari California, the Ferrari 458 Italia gets an F1 style seven-speed dual clutch gearbox that directs power to the rear axle. Much has been done to reduce internal friction within the new V8, in addition aerodynamic drag improvements. As a result, the Ferrari 458 Italia's gas mileage improves to a combined 17.1 mpg (US) on the EU test cycle. As this is a Ferrari, talk of fuel consumption really does seem somewhat pointless, anyway. No mention of incorporating any type of KERS hybrid system has been made thus far. The KERS idea, you'll remember, had taken several spins around the rumor-mill over the last year or so; maybe that'll materialize at a later date.
Thousands of songs gets upload over the internet everyday. Hundreds of them ends up on my laptop as I get to download them everyday. I don't play as a DJ regularly anymore (no residency). It's not like the old days that at least in a week I can introduce 5 to 10 new songs. I always make it a habit to play new songs every week. Now a days I have quite a lot of collections in my hard drive that I can't put to good use.
I know it doesn't look as futuristic like the cars we've seen in those movies like Demolition Man (2003), Back to the future , etc.. etc..
This is what I call a motoring iconic research. Where it allows us to say we are stepping forward in terms of motoring developments.
Ferrari has released a whole bunch of shiny photos and new details on its unhinged 599XX, the hypertech track-focused edition of its front-engined supercar. And, quite frankly, that's all the excuse I need to treat you with the new photos they've released.
Just in case you've forgotten, here's the big news on the 599XX: Ferrari has revised the 6.0-litre V12 to put out a massive 700bhp at 9,000rpm. It weighs just 1,330kg, thanks to obsessive use of carbon fibre. It is, essentially, a track-only racer, armed with slick racing tyres, carbon ceramic brakes and a whole bunch of bewildering tech to improve downforce and air flow over and around the car.
Bewildering tech that includes the use of a porous material in the diffuser, and a pair of fans in the boot which channel air flowing beneath the car out through 2 grilles by the taillights. Oh, and ‘synthetic jets' (an excellent name for an indie-electronica band, no?) incorporated into the rear which, along with those mad buttresses, smooth airflow over the surface of the car. It all combines to produce 280kg of real down force at 120mph, and a massive 630kg at 185mph.
If you're muttering to yourself about feckless rip-off merchants, here's one last stat for you: the 599XX lapped Ferrari's Fiorano circuit in 1m17s, just a second slower than the FXX and quicker than, well, just about everything else bar the Scuderia's F1 cars.

ICOHNS - Integrated Clinics of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
ICOHNS is a group of specialists in the ear, nose, throat, head and neck in Davao City, the premier city of southern Philippines . It is a center for the diagnosis, therapeutic and rehabilitative management of ENT-Head and Neck concerns. We have equipment for real time rigid and flexible endoscopy, and surgery for the excision of small masses in the head and neck as well as procedures unique to the specialty. ICOHNS is also a center for facial and aesthetic surgery. We specialize in the use of Gore-tex grafts for rhinoplasty.
Compared to most ENT clinics in Davao City, ICOHNS boasts of specialists trained in premier training institutions here and abroad. Research and training are among our core values. All of our specialists are connected with major hospitals and residency training institutions in Davao City. Most of the state of the art and major services in the advanced centers of Metro Manila, can easily be availed at ICOHNS.
ICOHNS is a group practice that began in March of 2003 with the partnership of Dr. Gil A. Yarra, Dr. Christine O. del Monte-Dayanghirang and Dr. Veronica F. Magnaye. The group started as a collaboration of the three for the growing number of difficult cases particularly in the head and neck. There was also the requisite for cutting edge and expensive instrumentation distinct to the specialty. With the realization of the need for a modern and fully equipped integrated center, these three pioneering otolaryngologists formed ICOHNS. Starting by pooling in their resources and talents, more modern instrumentation and like-minded members were added to this growing venture.
The group was formed with the concept of integrating individual ENT-Head and Neck practices to provide Davao and its neighboring provinces with a comprehensive ENT center. Dr. Danilo Legita, with special training in maxillofacial prosthesis, joined the group in January 2005. Dr. Homer Matias, following training at Facial Aesthetic Core of ENT Surgeons (FACES), joined in 2007.

The Slicks and the Grooves
Since BRIDGESTONE introduced four compounds of tire in Formula One in 2007, the international racing competition decided to say bye-bye to grooved dry tires after eleven seasons of use. Formula One now prefers the soft rubbery appearance of slick tires.
The people behind this agreement believe that the removal of grooves can improve the vehicle’s grip on the road. Formula One British driver, Johnny Herbert, commented on the issue of switch.
“Grooved tires have never done anything. They are a gimmick but what they do is lose their grip far quicker than a slick, so that you spin more easily. But at the same time you also travel further when you spin because they have harder compounds than slicks and therefore less grip.”
2005 spec Grooved Tires
To him, the driving speed in grooves is harder compared to slicks. Slicks are easier to handle. Slicks welcome various forms of danger but also give rooms to safety risks. His Stewart-Ford partner, Rubens Barrichello who now drives this 2009 season for Brawn GP also agrees with Herbert.
“In F1, if you throw it around the chance to lose it is 60 percent or more and also there is the safety point of it, because when they changed the tires to grooves they initially lost 60 percent of the front grip and 40 at the rear. So to make the car neutral you have to be on the nose the whole time. Then you take a high-speed corner, always on the nose, and for me it is more dangerous.”
In reference to its regulations and laws, those dry tires used in racing should have an external diameter of 660 mm and 4g in lateral loadings and 5g in longitudinal loadings.
2009 spec slick tires
Yet, those implementations is put into end this 2009. The goal of shifting to slick tires aims only to increase the on-track performance of the racers. The use of slick tires increases the grip resulting to greater speed and impressive lab records.
Hirohide Hamashima, the director of BRIDGESTONE Motorsport Tire Development, said:
"2009 looks like it should be a very exciting season with very big changes to the cars. From our perspective we have changed our allocation strategy so that we can bring non-consecutive allocations to races."
The only disadvantage with the shift is mainly on the the driver’s safety. It’s reported first lap with slick tires are slow and many racers feel they are like mobile chicane. The car’s maneuverability is put into vulnerable position as this can also yield to tragic incidents. Requirements to the use of slick tires are fairly the same. It ranges from hard, medium, soft and super soft.
2009 season
After 11 years of using grooved tired, Slicks made its way back in Formula 1 which put big smiles on the drivers faces. Because also of the new Aero changes in the rules this season which lessen the amount of the downforce of the cars. The slicks would help generate more mechanical grip specially in slow corners.
