I can definitely picture myself having fun going through that track, almost makes me want to play again :) keep it up!!
Do you want to build something in the project?
@MihirGames made a generous bday gift of 5 onyx today towards prizes at Race City!
Mihir is the first Race City sponsor!
I remember you talking about it.
Lets just say you did and I'll put up an extra onyx from you.
Happy belated birthday @Detech !!!
In case anyone is wondering why we are so behind schedule, it is because besides building 3 areas each, me and @racerdog have to finish up 6 other areas. Also we are building up transitions between areas and making sure everything is filled up as far as you can see on screen durring the race to create a space city atmosphere. We are trying to finish up ASAP. Really looking forward to hosting our first race, we even have the sponsors with prizes already!
I tested out the race track. It was quite easy, but I recommend to have jerky on you if you don't have exo skin.
The track is almost complete.
We are a week past due date and we will now be removing all builders from members.
Areas that do not have enought built for us to replicate to complete the track will be removed.
First Race will take next week.
I'll let the large steam jet be there for the grand opening race, but after that I need it.
Got stuck on ladders in stage 2 . Got stuck in a few other places I had to fix.
By stage 12 game got so buggy for electrox, walls dissapeared between stages.
I hope game on PC gets fixed soon.
With more ppl there will be more bugs. I saw a strange new bug now about 5 times. I saw a spawn graphic appear on me and after that I couldn't activate switches and all blocks I placed returned to my inventory. After I reloged, I appeared back in the spot where spawn graphic appeared.
Nope. IPad. All these new bugs are happening since the last update.
First race will be held this or next week.
What do you guys think would be the best time and day?
The Race Track is now 100% complete.
The checkpoint, placement recording and tracking systems are 100% connected.
Just need to finish up the Winners Palace and viewers area and we are good to go!
I will make a separate post for the first race this week. Next week we race!
The racetrack starts in the poorest area of Race City - the space slums where the poorest of the robots live. They get to be the first to cheer for the racers!
The lower city ends where the the industrial district begins. Hop through a construction site with gravitation cranes and go through the factory which builds most of Race City!
Did a test run today, was a total success, 5 people finished the race. Was a bit of head to head action for 2nd and 3rd place, but okZC took out the competition, finishing the race in 13 min and 1 sec.
Was fun, handed out 1 Onyx to 1st, 3 dia to 2nd and 1 dia for the rest.
Most people who seen the race for the first time were quite excited, though about 3-4 ppl got stuck in area 2 on parkour. We might have to simplify it.
Main thing - everything is working.
I would host more of these test races with prizes, but I would run out of onyx quite quickly lol.
If anyone wants to host a race at any moment, please let me know. I would love to test out the racetrack a few more times.
BY THE WAY, I left the racetrack open, so anyone who wants to practice, feel free to check it out.
When you exit the factory and fly through Race City uptown skyscrapers, you end up in the ancient district.
Try to go through the ancient ruins quietly without attracting attention of any "UFO"s.

sanctuary for Haagse Beek project, The Hague
sketch for the 'sanctuary'
on the occasion of the Artivisual Landscapes conference in 1992, Krijn Giezen was invited by the IFLA (International Federation of Landscape Architects) to develop a vision for the Haagse Beek in the centre of The Hague.
After his analysis of the state of the Haagse Beek, polluted and partly flowing against the natural direction, Giezen proposed to 'purify' this flow by rearranging existing elements. He invited Ian Hamilton Finlay (word), herman de vries (vegetation) and Remko Scha (sound) to respond. de vries suggested making a cultivated park (former Stadhoudersplantsoen) inaccessible on the route so that the original vegetation can return, Finlay presented a bluestone model of the stream's inflow into the Hofvijver and Remko Scha played a sound piece in a closed cabin, inspired by the pumping station that interrupts the stream along the way. The 'sanctuary' for the Haagse Beek was not realised.
not realised
besides the sanctuary, herman de vries also proposed to place 108 stones with names of rivers partly in the street where the Haagse Beek runs underneath and partly alongside the stream (not realised)

RAINIER, Ore. — The Rainier Community is grieving the loss of 18-year-old Sarah Zuber. She was found dead along the side of the road just feet from her parent's driveway Wednesday morning.
There is now a memorial near where she was found along Neer City Road. People continue to leave flowers, stuffed animals and candles in her memory.

Those who knew her said she had a contagious smile and bright future ahead of her.
"Sarah was just a wonderful, wonderful girl," explained family friend and neighbor Pam Wiechern.
A wonderful girl taken too soon. If you ask anyone about Sarah Zuber, they will tell you how smart, caring, and loved she was.
"That little girl is really going to be missed because she is just awesome," Wiechern said.
Sarah attended an online school but did cross country in middle school at Rainier Jr./Senior High School. She planned to start school at PSU this spring and worked at Grocery Outlet where the sign now reads "We love you Sarah."
"It's not business as usual anymore, there's some healing to be done," said Bruce Cade who worked at Grocery Outlet with Sarah.
Cade said she always lit up the store with her smile.
"Just kind of a free-spirited gal, just always had a smile, you'd never think that there was anything wrong with her, never heard her complain about anything, just vibrant gal, had the whole world ahead of her," Cade said.

Friends said Sarah got home from work late and went for a walk like she often did.
"Sarah was an avid walker," Wiechern said. "She got home from work around 10:30 in the evening and she visited with her sister for a little while and then she told her, don't lock the door I'm going to go for a walk. She always did. She was very, very purposeful when she walked."
The next morning, friends said it was one of Sarah's younger sisters that found her dead along the side of the road just feet from her home.
Her death has a left a hole in the Rainier community and cut short a future that had endless possibilities.
"She could've been anything," Wiechern said. "She could have gone far. I mean anywhere she wants, she was smarter than a whip, seriously."
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office is still trying to figure out what happened to Sarah.
Anyone who saw anything overnight Tuesday or early Wednesday near the intersection of Neer City Road and Nick Thomas Road is asked to call the non-emergency dispatch number at 503-397-1521 or the tip line for the Columbia Enforcement Narcotics Team at 503-397-1167.
A GoFundMe Page has been setup to help Sarah's family.

Who doesn't like sweets? My family loves to bake every weekend. One of our favorite desserts is brownies because it's easy to bake. You can add different toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, etc. You can also choose from different chocolates. But have you tried cold brownies?
Baked goods are more famous in holidays. However, if you're caught with the other dishes, wrapping of gifts, and other preparations, then dessert is being compromised. That's why freezing baked goods gives you extra time to focus on other things.
If you mistakenly made a big pan of brownies, then freezing the rest might be a good idea. Whether it has frost or it is buttery, you can still do this method. Wrapping them individually in plastic wraps then putting everything in a large sealable bag is the answer.
There are different kinds of brownies but regardless of their flavor, freezing is a preservation method which changes the taste of food. Don't worry, though, as you can still adjust the taste based on your preference.
Don't be scared to try this procedure. You can bake a small amount of your usual brownie recipe then put it in the freezer. If you saw small pieces of ice on it, it's totally fine.
If you have small lunch boxes at home, then they're perfect containers for your brownie leftovers. Just don't forget to freeze your brownies completely. It can last for a month and thaw it on the kitchen counter.
Believe it or not, most people like it frozen. Those who have tried it enjoy their frozen brownies. What they usually do is wrap the bite size pieces in saran wrap, cover them with foil, keep them in a Ziploc bag, then freeze.
Try these steps and you'll notice that the family members can't get enough. Try freezing a big batch and notice that right after totally freezing them, only 5 pieces or less remain. You'll be glad that they weren't put into waste.
If you'd like a different kick into your brownies, you can try adding a little bit of salt on top. The sweet, salty, and cold features are good mix. Freezing also adds more moisture on your brownies.
Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes.
Cut them based on your preferred sizes.
Wrap each piece with the plastic wrap.
After doing so, put them in a resealable plastic bag.
Label with the expiration date then freeze.
If you're planning to freeze a large amount, make sure to under bake them.
No need to transfer them to a plastic bag. Just cover the pan with a plastic wrap.
Put freezer tape to seal the wrap.
Heat them up for about 10 minutes.
Don't keep them in the freezer longer than 4 months.
Explore your brownies to make them more exciting by adding some toppings or even put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. If you don't have cocoa powder at home, you can use any instant chocolate drink for substitute. After doing so, you might prefer to freeze them before having a bite.
You only have 45 minutes to satisfy your cravings? Then this one's perfect for you. This addicting dessert will make you want more.
This recipe will turn your world upside-down. It melts in your mouth. No need to add frosting.
You shouldn't miss this one. Its texture due to chopped nuts and the scent of vanilla are perfect for any occasion. The steps are easy for beginners to follow.

Can You Freeze Egg Whites?


Azerbaijan's number one export is oil. Azerbaijan's oil production declined through 1997 but has registered an increase every year since. Negotiation of production-sharing arrangements (PSAs) with foreign firms, which have thus far committed $60 billion to long-term oilfield development, should generate the funds needed to spur future industrial development. Oil production under the first of these PSAs, with the Azerbaijan International Operating Company, began in November 1997. Azerbaijan shares all the formidable problems of the former Soviet republics in making the transition from a command to a market economy, but its considerable energy resources brighten its long-term prospects. Baku has only recently begun making progress on economic reform, and old economic ties and structures are slowly being replaced. One obstacle to economic progress is the need for stepped up foreign investment in the non-energy sector. A second obstacle is the continuing conflict with Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Trade with Russia and the other former Soviet republics is declining in importance while trade is building with Turkey and the nations of Europe. Long-term prospects will depend on world oil prices, the location of new pipelines in the region, and Azerbaijan's ability to manage its oil wealth.
