Our Goal is to Fly Not Land!

Red Bull University Air Race 2010 / University of the West Indies St.Augustine, Engineering
Undercroft.

The goal is to fly, not land

The Red Bull Remote Control Air Race University Championship is a miniature version of the
international Red Bull Air Race. The objective is to navigate an aerial race track featuring air-
filled pylons in the fastest possible time incurring as few penalties as possible.

The Red Bull Air Race consists of the following flying sessions; Training, Qualifying and top 5.
In all sessions only 1 pilot races at a time.

There are two categories for the November 2010 University championship, category 1 – Best
Creative Plane – in which students would receive a naked plane in which they would have to
design themselves. Category 2 Best Air Race Flight, in which the students would get to fly
already, crafted planes. But a word of warning: The goal is to fly, not to land.

The University champion will be determined for the 1st time at a location convenient for all University
Students to attend. A selection of students, whose university ID serves as a license to fly, will have the
chance for an unforgettable adventure in aviation.

All it takes is coordination, feeling out your planes, thus the reason for the training rounds and a
determination to win. It’s of secondary importance what form of stance students take when the plane
takes off from the hand. All forms of assistance or devices are allowed.

Meditating, tinkering and testing the aerodynamics are what needs to be done for the creative round.
All forms of assistance or supplementary devices are forbidden in the Best Air Race Flight category.
Solely with the “Creative planes“are the hobby engineers allowed to use scissors, glues and other
materials.

Do you want to take off too? Do you think you’ve know the best way to fly a remote control plane?
Or do you have the creative skill it takes in designing your own plane. If you do, then sign up now.
Registration runs from 10am-12pm Thursday 25th November at The University of The West Indies,
under the Engineering Undercroft. The 1st plane takes flight promptly at 1pm.

Take Flight!!!!

In a Cast

written on November 15 at 3:55pm

Clearly its broken, its past breaking point.
Clearly up I have not spoken, because I do not have a point
Or an argument, or a reason or a remedy or a rational
Although the bone marrow in my bones is out in the open
Because all the kings horses and all the kings men couldnt stop it from being broken

It does not change the fact, or justify the reality
That this is no longer fading but merely a memory
Stuck in this cast, without movement of hands, or any feeling that its real
Maybe I would catch gang green and cut it off, but chances are it would heal
Maybe that is just what the doctors say, because today there is no healer
Maybe its just my health today, because most often I am a believer
And today these beliefs died, maybe this is what it took for me to realize
Too much, too late as little has no jurisdiction here, as and more would be too much to bear
It would render me unable to hear, devoted to the philosophies of my own twisted logic
Look, all I can do is sing. All I can do is sleep. All I can do is run away.
All this I can do in my head, because my body is in a cast.
I do hope to pour all my frustrations into a funnel and see my way out of this tunnel
Just to exclaim.. at long last
But the ghost of Christmas past showed me some things which drive us to anger everytime
Subtle jests seem never enough and overt comments would be way to much
As its now difficult to move I depend on body heat and osmosis for air within my mummified container
Tomorrow and the day after will be brighter and better because I say so !
Maybe this may be controlling but I will force myself to happiness, or sadness, to anything to keep problems on the down low.
Perception is reality so hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil and evil won't exist.
At long last, my body is in a cast wrapped permanently for better or for worse
Does not matter that more because after you read this verse, and the conversation is reversed
There does exist something else which does matter, and with these thoughts your dreams have been shattered
You want a upright, genuine, honest young man, even thought I may have the plan
And the execution, the solution, the argument and the bribe I think I lack you inside
Everyday I look for ways of imporovement but all fall to the wayside
But now that my body is in a cast, i'd find out what is on my inside
Lets say I didnt behave this way, or I didn't complain or be violent today
And your conscience didn't allow for your insolence anyway
As I am stuck in the fugitive mentality that the overall gravity of gunplay
Is some idle shots, till I grown into an armed killer
And as cool as it sounds, when I heard the death of autotune today
I lost my voice and could not utter a word subsequently
I think you were pleased that I stayed quiet evidently
And uphill battle either way, in great loss or great efficiency
Maybe 10,000 years from now my mummified body would be used to help others, and these titles sucked out my brain
"Love is four letters"
"For better or for nothing" a philosophical piece on the both sides of the coin. The "you are controlling me side." And the "I will ensure at all costs that this relationship works side."
"Shake up and Break up" kinda self explanatory

Documents the story for how we ended up in the infirmary .

WINGS FOR LIFE SOCIAL SPOT WITH DAVID COULTHARD (ENGLISH VERSION)

Baby Fight? Squeezy vs Khari Kill vs Jah Bami

Squeezy Rankin pretending to cut grass in response Jah Bami's claim that he is a grass cutter

So as of 2010, I have heard of this I am local movement. At times passing by a store playing boom champions loudly, or taking a maxi talk of this movement is around. Which to me is the greatest thing for local music, that some movement can be started which will encourage Trinidadians to take pride in their music. Especially so as the reality is that the average youth would gladly listen to Jamaican music as apposed to our own Trinidadian tunes.

Last week, I noticed local music stealing the spotlight in my facebook mini feed. Some local artist dispute, had apparently ticked off enough people for one local artist to produce an original dis track; aimed directly at another artist.

Honestly I applaud the efforts of both parties, for what its worth. I've skimmed through briefly the myriads of facebook comments from everyone from producer, to "Jamaican-Trinidadians" to Squeezy Rankin and Mr. Marvin Walters(Jah Bami) himself. As everyone argues over which side won the clash, who is right and who is following clash rules, who sounds mediocre and who sounds futuristic many fail to realize what's happening before our eyes.

Trinidadian music, for that moment... hour, minute, few seconds has the front and center of our attention on facebook. This is exactly what we want! Is this the correct way to do this, spark enough controversy and depend on the macochious contentious nature of Trinidadians to voice their opinion and share like wildfire whatever bacchanal is at their fingertips?
Honestly we may never know, but I urgently admonish all artist and local industry tycoons involved to take this moment and run with it. On a very basic level this is what we need. Both Jah Bami and Squeezy Rankin boast fan pages which have hardly seen this much attention since its creation. These artiste need to simply record, keep on recording and put it on facebook, youtube, wherever for us to see.

The world is evolving, no longer do you need to wait on the radio to give you airplay, more than half the youngsters do not listen to radio. Give yourself your own airplay. Record your own music, post it for people to see and force yourself mainstream. How many more Soulja Boy\Justin Bieber stories of "discorvery from myspace or youtube" do we need to hear to understand the power of these FREE social media tools?
Facebook,Twitter, Youtube all exist at your service, at your beck and call. Stop running down a "visa" or a Deejay and get your music broadcasted worldwide for yourself!
See the clash videos below, a trend of quick viral upload I hope these artiste continue long after the clash...

These are the clash videos:

Squeezy Ranking Started it!

Jah Bami\Marvin Walters Responded:

Khari Kill Responded:

Squeezy Closed it off: Jah Bami dis

YAWN

Yawn, its 2 o clock in the mornin and I am hardly living
Barely breathing, chest pounding, my earth is shaking
Its no fault of mine, its these damn MOSQUITOES that are biting !!!

WHAT, Whitney Husbands attacked?

-- Stop -- WAIT --

What happened to Whitney Husbands?

Well rumor has it that she was assaulted by several young females in there early and mid twenties during Flight Cruise Landed. On Sunday 4th July 2010.
Details are still scetchy at this time although, Trinidadians have drafted quite detailed rumors as to the events of the night.

According to Whitney Husbands, on her facebook status she said:

As the above post suggests, due to Whitney's high profile personality, this issue has gained widespread publicity on facebook. Our trusted (used on purpose) social media site. Most people are seen on Whitney's page lamenting the debase state our society is in, condemning the culprits to death and wishing Whitney a speedy recovery.

One could only wonder what if Whitney was in the wrong?

In my personal aspirations I hope not only to get wealthy, but to achieve such acclaim as Whitney so that upon an accident or whenever an attack is made upon myself I can get a similar outpouring of support.

Honestly I am amazed and as Ms Husbands is now the talk of the town, I hope someone tells her about this blog post... where I say:

The attack has shown how prolific and how many people you may have affected influenced or have the ability to touch in someway or the other. Kanye said, no one [person] should have this much power -- Please use this wisely.

But of course I am sure (also used on purpose) she was not wrong and I do wish her as much success as possible.(I do mean this success part -- word for word tho)

So for folks who still waiting, these are the pictures.

the REAL DEAL - Trinidad SOUNDCLASH

I ah man missed  the sound clash days by virtue of being 12 or 13 during its prelevance in Trinidad and Tobago. From my youtube-ing I noticed that these sound men shout on the mic with a passion unparalleled to any party dj. They shout as though the music belonged to them. It amazes me how Chinese, African and English sound men so readily embrace the international Sound clash culture and tout the music they play as t he best music ever. 

With dub plates held close to their hearts and death to the opposing sound system on their minds may the Soundclsh return to Trinidad for one day this Saturday @ St Johns.

Live broadcast by Red Bull Music Academy Radio, the REAL Deal  2010 promises to be as epic as ever.

I for one cah wait. Vibes car done!
