Yeah! I found the clon of Camino right here in Ohio and I took her a photo. Here is the proof:

They look like pretty similar, huh?

Hi all!! We are back but now it´s spring break in USA. For Europeans Easter means holidays (1 week off) but for americans has other connotations: keep working. So the "spring break" or "do we party during Easter?" is going through. But there is also fun...Like the concert we went this last Sunday in Lakewood. Our friend Amelie sang with her band "Hate Dies Hard" and Chenmei and I assisted. Amazingly we didn´t get lost and we could watch the concert, and delight our eyes with photos such as these:


Yeah! The concert was hot... ;)

Hi all!! So at last the poker report shows up!!! I survived my first poker timba in USA...The cops bragged, so we were only 5 players and a $25 jackpot. The game started and it was really thrilling....We played with real chips from Las Vegas casinos...wow!! It really loked like throwing away all your savings from last work's month!!! So there we were: Paul, Chris, X1, X2 and David (sorry for the X's but I don't remember names...)
X1 played while doing MBA homeworks. He really demonstrated both tasks are 100% compatible. Chris and I were the noobs. We were supposed to loose but... Chris won some good hands while I began sinking like the Titanic... Paul, the experienced player was chatting all time about his past wons in Las Vegas while giving "some advices". His stuck of chips skyrocketed as each shoe went by.... I had absolutley no idea of the cards scales...so each time I won something I had to ask: "Why?". Full house better than flush? Or flush betther than straight?? What a mess!!! Well... In the early rounds the shoes were about $50 and $75, so when someone hit with $100 bet all the others fold...30 minutes more and I was approaching an IRS auditory...Shit! Then I feel it...The thrilling of loosing...my mind telling me: bet! bet! bet! "you have to win". The americans keep and absolutely amazing control over the cards and chips at all times. So I don't know how exactly I did, I won one hand (100% chance, of course) and then I steadily grow up until I came face to face with Chris: also know as "The Great Bluffer" ;)
"All in" he told me. He put all his capital on the bet...Ok, "para huevos aki los mios" I told him...I raised his bet. And then we fold. Who won? Me. Why? I just don't know...I only remember it was because the last card was a 10. It turns out without that card I would lose everything. So Chris went bankroll. 4 left. Paul also crashed X2. 3 left. We make a pause and we resumed. The bets now were higher. $100 and $150. Eventually I knocked out X1...How? Because I mistakenly saw two 6 of spades in my cards. An experienced player knows this is ABSOLUTELY impossible, but well, there was I... So finally Paul vs me. He won: flush against an impossible straight ( I didn´t know before hand it was not possible to go around the corner). But well, he got $17 and $8 for me. Funny no?

Avui me enfrentat contra la centrifuga. He arribat a les 11 i el John ja era al lab. Llavors, he preparat els flasks i me adonat a lo que menfrentaba: els flasks han de estar ekilibrats, he pensat…en tinc 5. I no tots son iguals. servira aigua en el 6 per compensar perfectament? O en necessito 6 diguals? 6000rpm es una frequencia de rotacio molt alta. I si un pes minim desequilibrat la peta? Li he agut de prengutar al John. Ma dit ke res, cap problema si els pots no son iguals. Llavors, agafo tots els 6 i vaig al lab del Dr. Stalvey. Alla estaba la centrifuga. Estic sol. La planta de ledifici buida. Sense ajuda. Com lengego? Llavors, recordo els maldecaps associats amb lexperiencia del Dr. Hadag quan tenia ke fer la mateixa operacio. canviar rotors, saber les rpm…deu meu. Estic sol. pujo i li ho pregunto especificament al John? O marrisco i intento saber com es fa? Bueno, no ha de ser massa dificil. com s’obre? ok, akest boto. Ho obro. canvio el rotor ke hi havia. poso els flascs en el nou rotor. caldra collarho? em dic. poso la tapa i collo les 2 roskes. provo de aixecarlo i no puc. vale, esta enclat. tanco. ara seleccionar les rpm. Hede tenir en compte ke el ultim zero es estatic. selecciono 600. en total son 6000. vale. que mes? el temps. 15’ correcte. i ara? detectara la centrifuga si hi ha algo malament? o senzillament pot esplotar? Aixi es quan menrecordo de la potencia que tindria si el rotor sortis disparat. foradaria parets i tot el ke trobes com paper de fumar. Jo inclos. Deu meu. que pot estar malament? El codi del rotor. trobo les equivalencies en una placa al costat. Sembla logic. Es un rotor GSA13000rpm. Selecciono codi 10. Ok. Que mes? Que mes pot faltar? Merda. Estic sol. Veig el botor “start”. El premo? Marrisco? I si passa algo? I si trenco la centrifuga? I si me descuidat dalgo? El mes segur seria pujar, perdre temps i preguntarhi al John. PEro marrisco. Sento un lleuger retortijon i premo “start”. Les rpm comencen a incrementar. 400. 600. 1000. No sembla ke passi res, pero una sensacio de vertigen extrem em comença a envair. Sera estable? Petara en algun moment? Si ho fa no cal ni que em preocupi. Ja estic mort. ZUuuum! Un soroll s’activa. Que es? Deu ser el refrigerador, em dic. Segur? 3000rpm. 35000. Sembla estable. Potser estic salvat. 5000. I si no es paren a 6000? 5500. 6000. 6030…6000. Si. Sembla ke funciona. Me ne sortit sense ajuda.

So today we had snow all the day...ah yes! Nothing special over here, this Ohio weather is so "cool". And the friendly cyclon called "The Nevificator" leave us a present: 30cm of white beautifulness! But we were unlucky....just only one campus closed doors and was not Kent...so we had classes all the way at 7.45am...shit happens!
But today driving was kind of a thrilling event: smashed cars everywhere, some chain-reaction stamped trucks and we saw two women fall and broke their elbows, but well...That's Ohio!
