Antigravity Batteries latest incarnations and discount...
Hi All,
Antigravity Batteries http://antigravitybatteries.com has evolved to the next generation in our development of our ultra powerful lightweight Lithium Powersports Batteries. As always we are offering our 10% discount code "adventure" to all the inmates... just punch it in at check out.
We are super excited to post about our new line of Direct OEM replacement batteries but with LITHIUM inside.. These batteries are Direct OEM replacement size for most all modern bikes yet offer substantially higher cranking amps than lead/acid or other Lithium batteries and have wieght savings of up to 80% over lead/acid...These new models come in the most popular OEM case sizes used in modern bikes... AND as always we also have our Ultra Compact Small Case models that are the most powerful, smallest and lightest format of any battery available.... So now you have the choice of either direct OEM sizes for a drop in fit or the ultra small format to save space in the battery tray...
So what set Antigravity apart from the other Lithium Batteries on the market??? I'm glad you asked....
Lets compare Antigravity to one of the Lithium companies that markets A LOT more than we do and starts with an "S"
1) We are made in America... Los Angeles actually.
2) We offer a 3 year warranty as compared to a 2 year warranty and don't have warranty voiding issue like if you get salt on the terminal your warranty is void. Read the warranties....our competitor also voids the warranty if you allow the battery to drop below 12.6v( thats pretty wierd at some point a battery will go below that)... Our batteries do NOT have little issue like this that void the warranty because they are built better and stronger with large brass terminals to flow the power and handle abuse.
3) Our batteries offer much higher cranking amps which maintain much higher voltage on start up and a faster motor spin on start up which aids in starting.... For example in roughly the same size battery their puts out a Max of 270 Cranking Amps, yet the Antigravity can put out 360 Cranking Amps or you can get the higher power model that puts out 480 Cranking amps... yet is the same size as our competitor with close to twice the power.
4) We are waterproof... our competitor is NOT.... If you dump the bike in a water crossing you can see some serious damage with theirs... not with ours... water tight seal... Yep, that's pretty important in an off road bike.
There is an Adventure Rider thread http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=770364 that some may be intersted in to learn more about Lithium batteries. One of your resident inmatesis doing some testing on Lithium batteries,actually beating the hell our of these batteries....Antigravity doesn't come into the picture until around page 7 or 8....but he beats our battery up too...and check the results we do great.
Here are some pics of our stuff...
Small Case models 4- cell and 8-Cell... also available in 12-Cell and 16-Cell models...
New OEM SIZES
YTZ7-S with Lithium found in all Euro and Japanese Enduros... 240 Cranking Amps! Twice that of Lead.YTZ10-S same as YTZ12 and YTZ14 found in most larger KTMs
YTX12 and YT12-BS Case format found in many Euro and Japanes bikes used in BMWs from 360 to 720 cranking amps.

Ordered my Antigravity YTZ10S-12 the other day and you shipped it the same afternoon! Looking forward to using it in my KTM Superduke R in place of the tired OEM Yuasa when it gets here next week. My son-in-law is an Engineer at A123 and I was glad to see you use their power cells in your product.
Thanks for the quick shipping Scott and the thread you referenced is a great read if people are so inclined to learning more about batteries in general and some Lithium products in particular.

YTZ14S post adapters - and other questions
Looking at the YTZ10-12 "direct replacement battery" to replace a YUASA YTZ14S. The picture of the Antigravity YTZ10-12 does not appear to have the square post connection of the YTZ14S. Is there an adapter available or....?
What is the delivery of the YTZ10-12 - in stock or...? Current batteyr is dead and needs to be replaced.
Also - does the use of the 4-Amp Lifepo4 Battery Charger help extend the operating life of the YTZ10-12 battery or...?

Yes we have a small square spacer and longer bolt that will come with the battery. It allows for the type of battery cable end that has the folded ears on the ends. We designed the battery like this intentionally and we call it multi-use terminal because we have other motor sports that use our battery rather than just motorcycles so we didn't want the tall square terminal for a couple reasons.. For example you can adapt an SAE Automobile type post to our terminal. You will also notice are terminals are beefy all brass with a one bolt connection point, they are also much lower than the tall square terminal on a motorcycle battery which we did intentionally to keep the contact points more protected from shorting out on frames, tools and stuff... not that this will happen in a bike but we are used a lot in race cars and custom bikes and they want low and small and we saw no reason to copy the design exactly of a motorcycle battery because it limited the use of the battery.
Keeping a battery in a good state of charge does in fact lead to better battery life, continually having them on a charger is not needed for the cells to achieve a longer life . A charger actually charges to 14.6v, and after taken off the charger the battery will drop into the 13v range... you do not need to keep the battery at this 14.6v state of charge at all... 13.2 is the nominal voltage but it usually sits at 13.4~7 and that is perfectly fine. Unless you have a large rapid parasitic drain that is constantly lowering the voltage quickly then you should not have a problem, or need it on a charger. Riding your bike keeps it topped off. If you do not have a parasitic drain the battery will sit at about 13.4~7 for almost a year and in which case putting on the charger will not really do anything to prolong life. Keep in mind Lead/Acid needs a trickle charger because it has an effect called Natural Discharge where it loses voltage relatively rapidly even without being connected to anything. Lithium has this effect but it is so insignificant as to only lower the voltage by about .2v in a year. I have a couple original shrink wrap models from year ago sitting at 13v still after 2 years in a drawer.
If you can test you battery for the first month or so to determine if you have a fast parasitic drain and then determine you don't....you will be good to go for a long time. I would not bother with keeping it on a charger. In fact I suggest only charging it if you see the voltage going below 13v often... if you determine you battery hangs at the 13.4 range even after months of sitting you are golden.
We have every battery in stock all the time... most the time we ship the next day after the order. Or if we get it early enough the same day.

Are there issues with cold starts on cold days? I've read issues (don't remember if it was AG or a competitor) where these batteries typically need to be "warmed up" since they don't work when well when it is cold.
When was the last time you checked your tire pressures?

Can you comment on balance charging AFAIK your batteries don't have a BMS connection and the competition all seem to think it's necessary.

So if you go with the correct size battery for your conditions you can actually defeat the condition. But alot of people go for the ultra lightweight and smallest one to save a bunch of weight and that is not really what you want to do unless you race. It mostly about the Cranking Amps honestly more power and the thing will start in most any weather because it has overhead.
Hope that answered your question.

Yes, the OBC is showing only 7 degrees above zero, Farenheit.
And that was at 1pm, near the warmest part of the day...
How would one of these batteries do in THOSE conditions.
(50 degrees is NOT what I would consider cold...)

So, the effective May 16, 2012 USPS is banning the shipping of lithium batteries overseas and to military APO/FPO addresses. ( http://about.usps.com/postal-bulleti...l/updt_004.htm ).
Since I get my mail at a military base overseas, i need to know...does this policy change mean I can't get a battery from you to my APO mailbox?

I wouldn't put a 3-year warranty on the battery if I felt they were going to be failing because of unbalanced cells, it would be a huge loser since the cells are quite expensive.. Shorai offers a two year warranty yet claims they have a balance charger for the battery that extends the life of the battery... well why do they only warranty for 2 years? We offer a 3 year warranty and don't have balancing...I think that says something....We have an industrial strength cell that can handle long hard use without the propensity to get out of balance.
In general after the bike is started the battery is kept in a state of full charge by the bikes charging system... If the cells are going out of balance to a significant degree when in this use then they are a low-end cells that will perpetually be going out of balance because of differing rate of discharge between individual cells. If you use a world class cell like the A123 the rate of discharge and charge is very even across the individual cells because of ultra high level of quality control at the factory and because of the consistency and quality of the material used in used in production. Those are truths.
I have yet to see any of our batteiries experiance a detrimental out of balance state even after years of use...I haven't been able to catch it and test it to show that "yes" these cells are out of balance significantly and made a battery fail or affected overall performance.... and the many times we did very deep discharge testing and recharges over and over I didn't get out of balance effect that would harm the performance or damage the battery cells.
In racing they use our Antigravity Batteries a lot in "total-loss" systems I tested with some teams quite a bit. In that use they run the bike's entire electrical system/ignition off the battery... they usualy take the battery into a much lower state of discharge than a normal bike will see and they do it on every ride.... In this case i still did not note a significant or detrimental out of balance state occuring with our batteries...they would just recharge the batteries with our charger and do it again and again all season long...
The real key to battery life is keeping the battery in a higher state of charge more often than not....I don't mean on a charger but not allowing it to dip below 12v rarely if ever... this is about checking up on the battery and not storing it in the bike if the bikes has a parasitic drain and not riding for a couple months... Those are the real killers of batteries ... Funny thing is according to Shorais warranty your battery is void if you allow it to go below.. 12.6v.... Whose battery doesn't go below 12.6v at some time...

To put that type of power in perspective it is 2 and a half times the Cranking power of a Harley Battery (YTX20)....and weighs about 12 pounds less... but it is what the Ultra large 2300cc V-Twins need when they have those high compression motors built motors in their customs...they can't start them unless they jump them with another battery.

Our batteries arrived today here in Oz. Post didn't open them although there was a sticker applied that said they were x-ray scanned by customs - Happy days.
It is certainly the case that Australia post will not carry any lithium batteries no matter what sort they are, but that's typical of our anal bureaucracy who's attitude is say no and then think about it for a looooooooong time.

Happy Camper.
I just switched out the old lead/acid battery in my KTM LC4E with one of these new fangled lithium batteries. The 8-cell cranks over the 640 just fine at 45 degrees, better than my older lead/acid battery. I did a little measuring and checked out the specs for the Antigravity small case before I ordered and it looked like I could lose weight and gain storage.
OEM lead/acid in place:
Here is the comparison:
Yup, that Antigravity fits in the battery box nice. Look at all the empty space:
Enough room for a spare 21" tube. That will come in handy some day:
So far, so good. As a side benefit, it seems to have cured the bike's manic episodes too. Now, where's my trickle charger? Oh, that's right. I don't need it anymore.

Top Gear drives the mighty BMW i3
This real-world game-changer is a range-extended EV. And Paul Horrell likes it...
Posted: 19 Dec 2013
As this orange BMW i3 is weaving its way among the black cabs, red buses and blue bikes of Piccadilly Circus, I wouldn't be surprised if every living soul who sees it has an opinion. Our First Drive story on TopGear.com had the comments box lit up like no other time I can remember. This is by far the most controversial BMW since, well, since the Isetta. The army of haters and trolls might never be convinced by the i3, but even reasonable people have questions. Won't a tall, short city car inevitably be dull to look at and be in, and generally represent the very antithesis of what we all hope BMW does best? Especially if it's powered by battery? And does its limited range undermine the very freedom that defines an automobile?
So, forgive me if I get a bit defensive at times on the i3's behalf. Everyone at TopGear who's been exposed to the i3 has been warmed by it. Whether we approached it curious, indifferent or even hostile, we all came away affectionate. A car that can change minds (change open minds, at least) is to be cherished.
The charm of the thing is threefold. First: the stimulation it gives the mind, the new ways it proposes for engineering and building our cars, and because the execution is so good it fuels our passion for them. Second: the way it goes, its smooth acceleration, refined silence and even its nippy direction-changing.
And third: its design, the interior especially, but also the exterior, which is fascinating in the way it adds progressive touches to relatively mundane mini-MPV proportions, thanks to its aero details and the glossy black band from its bonnet over the roof and rear end, unifying its forms and lending it the enigmatic glamour of wraparound shades.
Electric reality
But let's park the charm thing for a moment. Does it function well as a car? Is it a good buy? Well, the price, £25,680 after the plug-in grant, is on the dear side for an electric car, but no more so than a 320d is on the dear side for a fairly small diesel car. It has decent room for four and good access to the back seat through the pillarless butterfly doors. The boot is a bit small, but then you won't be taking four people on a long holiday in it, and at least the seat folds.
Then comes the inevitable bogey question of range. I managed a real-world 80 miles the first day, and about 20 miles less, in a hurry, the next. It's not vast, but lots of people don't exceed that mileage in a day - even people driving £25k-plus cars. Despite all the talk of fast chargers doing it in an hour, the fact is that people who need a car for frequent motorway hauling shouldn't buy an EV. Does that mean the i3 is fundamentally crippled? I don't think it does.
Like a... Veyron?
Lots of the cars we love have intrinsic limitations: you couldn't use a Veyron (or an MX-5, to be more reasonable) as a family car. Everyone knows EVs have limited range; it's not like they hide the fact as some sinister trap for the unwary. But most i3s will likely be sold to suburban two-car households. And it's vanishingly unlikely that in such a household a day will ever come when both cars will be called on to exceed 80 miles.
Anyway, the i3 does a lot to help with the range thing. The dealer lets you borrow a petrol or diesel BMW for occasional long trips. You can also spec an optional petrol range-extender (a two-cylinder bike engine and little generator stashed under the bootfloor). The REx hums away quietly when in action, but it's only an emergency solution. It doesn't turn the i3 into a long-distance express because the petrol tank is only nine litres, which BMW says is good for 60 miles.
Range security
And you'd be scared of running out, so you'd feel compelled to stop at a motorway services after 40 miles, feeling a numpty for filling up with just six litres. Anyway, nine litres in 60 miles is an unimpressive 30mpg. So think of the i3 REx as an EV with a get-out-of-jail-free card, not as a regular hybrid.
The i3 has another emergency trick. Its satnav will, if you ask it to go further than the projected range, go online and find you a charge point, then send via the cloud a set of instructions to your phone to continue your onward journey: walk this way to the bus stop, take this bus to that station, take the train that goes at the following time, etc, etc. Use that routing method if speedy arrival is the priority too, because public transport across big cities such as London is often quicker than driving.
A driver's EV
But, of course, public transport isn't so much fun as driving. Not as much fun as driving an i3. Oh, really? A tall, skinny-tyred, one-geared box? Well, there's a lot going for it. The wheels are pushed right to the corners. And for urban driving, you have the best of several worlds. You sit high and get a commanding view out, but your legs are straight ahead in a fairly sporty driving position, and the centre of gravity is low. That's because the battery and motor lie in an extruded aluminium punt frame, with the carbon-fibre passenger cell mounted above and decorated in thermoplastic outer panels. This construction sounds exotic, and it is: the engineers say more than a decade's worth of R&D went into making it affordable and repairable.
But, because it's light, the i3 doesn't need such a hefty battery to give it decent range, and a small battery is itself lighter. So the i3 weighs just under 1,200kg, some 200kg less than a Volkswagen Golf GTD DSG. And it has 170bhp. So it goes well. And it's RWD, so it has heaps of traction. All good signs.
0-62mph in 7.2 seconds...
Acceleration around the suburbs is blissfully smooth and quiet, even for an EV. It steps away from rest as briskly as you like, but without any shunts or jerks, and it slows back down the same way, usually without your needing the brake pedal because you get pulled back pretty firmly (and the brake lights come on) when you release the accelerator, thanks to about 70bhp worth of regenerative braking. Driving like that becomes a game in itself, a curiously addictive exercise in anticipation and cunning.
Once you've got to 62mph, which takes just 7.2 seconds, you begin to feel another characteristic of the single-speed powertrain. The power tails off at high revs, but you can't shift up. So acceleration tails off, too. Even so, it's no slug. You can poke out into an 85mph stream in the third lane without getting anyone accelerating up your chuff. But a limiter has been imposed at 93mph, because big speeds draw huge current and flatten the battery in minutes rather than hours.
Dorifoto? No
The i3 got showered in another torrent of web-forum abuse after it became clear it didn't oversteer. Apparently, all BMWs are supposed to. Huh? A 116d? An X5? Move along now, nothing to see. Anyway, the i3 has direct steering and doesn't roll much. You can twirl it round mini-roundabouts and open junctions. Yes, if you have the optional wheels with wider rear tyres and if you pile into a sharp bend too fast, the front tyres run wide. And if you indiscriminately shove onto the accelerator mid-bend, the nose goes light and they understeer again - like an early 911, actually.
The ESP is a bit keen too, but it can be part-disabled. But, mid-corner, if you settle it with a little lift, you can use the traction and feel the natural agility through the steering. And this agility is helped by firm springs. But the damping allows it to breathe, so the ride is more than tolerable, if a bit rocky from side to side. The rigid bodyshell damps suspension sounds well.
Unautomotive. Unbad
Your comfort and wellbeing is vastly boosted by the cabin design: flat-floored, furnished in natural fibres in shades of buff and taupe, the textures geometrical rather than mimicking the hide of a rhino. Because the heater/aircon unit is away in the nose, the dash is reduced in size and more distant than you'd expect, and the fan is much quieter too. It's an airy, glassy space, modern and surprisingly un-automotive. More like a mildly groovy hotel lobby.
Being un-automotive is part of the i3's trouble. Its specification hardly tickles a petrolhead's pleasure centres. But think of its innovative and clever engineering, and its design solutions. They'll provide a jolt to many areas of car development for the rest of us, areas that have got stuck in the mud. But that's just theory. The practice is that it just gets under your skin.

On March 27, 2012 charges were filed against Jace B. Cagle, 22, of Clayton, resulting from a vehicular accident that occurred on November 11, 2011 on HWY 271 near Albion. Cagle is being charged with Leaving the scene of an accident involving injury - felony, and negligent homicide using a motor vehicle, misdemeanor.
On November 11, 2011 at approximately 10:02 p.m., Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Tommy Allen was working in Pushmataha County when the dispatcher for Troop E stated that there was an accident on U.S. HWY 271 near Albion.
According to reports, Jace Cagle and Cecilla D. Bissell, passenger, were at a local bar just before the accident. Both left the bar and Cagle wanted to show Bissell how fast his Dodge SRT would run. Cagle got the vehicle up over 100 mph and lost control of the vehicle resulting in both Cagle and Bissell being ejected from the vehicle.
Bissell was injured badly and, according to police reports, Cagle left on foot, leaving Bissell on the side of the road unconscious. The first individuals to arrive on the scene stated that Cagle was no where to be found. Firefighters and first responders looked for Cagle in the surrounding woods for over 3 hours. Across the road from where the accident took place was a house which Cagle could have gone to for help if he had wanted to. Also, there were two other houses just 600 feet down the road which he could have gone to for help. Bissell was air lifted to St. France Hospital in Tulsa.
Cagle showed up in Clayton around 2:00 a.m. with foot and chest injuries. Both Cagle and Bissell were in the St. France hospital. Bissell died from her injuries on November 17, 2011.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Cagle on these charges with a bond set in the amount of $10,000. Leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries is a felony and is punishable by imprisonment for 10 days to 2 years, a fine of $50 - $1000, or both. Negligent homicide with a motor vehicle is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $100 - $1,000 or imprisonment for up to 1 year, or both.

Committee for Standardization (CS)
- English
- French
The Committee for Standardization (CS) is the senior NATO committee for Alliance standardization, composed primarily of representatives from all NATO countries. Operating under the authority of the North Atlantic Council (NAC), it issues policy and guidance for all NATO standardization activities.
For NATO, standardization is the development and implementation of concepts, doctrines and procedures that aim to achieve and maintain compatibility, interchangeability or commonality needed for interoperability. Interoperabilty – the ability to work in synergy in executing assigned tasks – can greatly increase the effectiveness of NATO's operations and activities through a more efficient use of resources.
The Committee for Standardization meets twice yearly and reports annually to the NAC on standardization activities. It was created in 2001 to oversee the work of the NATO Standardization Organization, which resulted from the merger of two separate standardization bodies, one civilian and one military.
Role and responsibilities
As the senior body responsible for supervising all standardization activities across the Alliance, the Committee on Standardization steers the development of the NATO Policy for Standardization and monitors its implementation. It helps formulate standardization requirements for NATO's defence planning and facilitates the implemenation of NATO standards.
The Committee provides coordinated advice on overall standardization matters to the NAC, to which it reports, as well as guidance and procedures to all NATO bodies as needed. It also acts as the Board of Directors for the NATO Standardization Agency, the implementing body for the Alliance's standardization work.
Working mechanisms
The Committee for Standardization, comprising delegates from 28 NATO countries and more than 30 partner countries, meets in full format twice a year. It is assisted by National Representatives (CSREPS) with delegated authority, who meet four times a year. The work of the CSREPs focuses on harmonizing standardization activities between NATO and national bodies, and promoting interaction between them in all areas of standardization.
The Committee reaches decisions on the basis of consensus among national representatives. Other representatives have no power of reservation, but have the right to have their views recorded. If consensus among NATO nations cannot be reached, the issue in question can be referred to the NAC.
Normally once a year, the Committee reports to the NAC on progress made in NATO Standardization, proposing actions as needed. It also presents a programme of work for the upcoming year.
The Committee is chaired by the NATO Secretary General, normally represented by two permanent Co-Chairmen, namely the Assistant Secretary General for Defence Investment and the Director General of the International Military Staff. Since September 2000, partner countries have become actively involved in the Committee's activities.
The NATO Standardization Agency evolved from the merger of two separate standardization bodies, one military and one civilian.
The Military Standardization Agency was established in London in 1951 and was renamed the Military Agency for Standardization later the same year. It moved to Brussels in 1970. In 1995, the Office of NATO Standardization was created by the NAC as part of the Alliance's International Staff to address broader standardization issues.
After a review of NATO Standardization between 1998 and 2000, the two bodies were merged into one, giving birth to the NATO Standardization Agency as the staffing element of the new NATO Standardization Organization. The Committee was created in 2001 to oversee the work of the NATO Standardization Organization.

Who Should Ride the Lightning?
For a time, it appeared as if "The Fastest Man Alive" would be the next DC Comics superhero to get his own feature film. After initially commissioning Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the Titans) to pen a script for a live-action The Flash movie, Warner Bros. (WB) ended up passing on Mazeau's script and hired Green Lantern writers Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim to write the screenplay. That was over a year ago, however, and WB appears to have put the brakes on all of their planned solo superhero movies as they strategize their next movie in the wake of the end of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Some industry insiders have suggested that WB plans to copy Marvel Studios' formula for The Avengers, but in reverse — first releasing the super-team movie and then spinning off individual characters into solo movies — which would mean that the Flash's first big screen appearance would be in the Justice League movie.
There have been several superheroes called the Flash, but the current incarnation, and the one that WB is likely to go with in the Justice League movie, is Barry Allen, who works as a forensic scientist when he's not circling the globe looking for trouble. Who do you think has what it takes to play a fast-talking speed freak who is also a detail-oriented detective?

Peter Brook, one of the pioneers of the experimental theatre movement of the 1950s and 1960s, was the director of Meetings with Remarkable Men. Brook tells the story of Asian mystic G. I. Gurdijeff, here played by Dragan Maksimovic. Gurdijeff devotes his entire existence, from youth to old age, in quest of the meaning of life. He eventually develops a form of meditation incorporating modern dance. Terence Stamp, who in Meetings with Remarkable Men plays Prince Lubovedsky, himself briefly retreated from his career after this picture, in favor of Eastern meditation.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

1. Tell me the story you watched.
2. Tell me the advantages you see in telling the story by using video and stills the way he does. What do you get that you wouldn't get by doing it otherwise?
3. Tell me the disadvantages. What's missing by combining video and stills the way he does?
4. If you were asked (notice I said "if")to do your final project as one piece combining video and stills, how would your story be different? Could you cover both angles or one angle better in a 3-4 minute piece doing it the way Bill did it? Would it be a better story? Could you be more creative? If so, how? If not, why not? Which way would better serve your viewers--two separate stories or one more like what Bill does?
I watched "Holt County Fair." It seems to me that there's a big advantage in telling a story about a community event like this in both photos and video. To me, the photos and the video serve different purposes: photos set the stage by emphasizing the tradition and (because the image doesn't move or change quickly) allow the viewer to dwell on the personal or situational characteristics of the county fair. The still shots are also more aesthetically pleasing: they lend an element of art to the final product while the video gives the traditionalism established by the stills a sort of update. Without the stills, the project would lack that element of currency. The two complement one another quite nicely.
The stills-video format used by Straw Hat Visuals is at an inherent disadvantage when they don't show the people they interview on camera. As a viewer, I found myself wanting to see the person who was speaking. I felt that this took away from the project quite a lot. Had the transitions between stills and video not been pretty smooth, it could have been jarring for a viewer to switch periodically between the two.
I think my final project would lend itself well to this still-video hybrid format. Since the youth center that I'm doing it on has something of a history, I could use stills to show that, bringing the story to the current time-frame with interviews and videos of events. The project would be different in that it would integrate the two subjects--the history and the programs at the Key--into one coherent narrative, so I would imagine it would be longer and feel more comprehensive. I think it would be more creative, because the stills tend to be more powerful than the video footage in storytelling. Where the stills provide a certain history, the video could give it some life; making it look current rather than retrospective. I think it might indeed be a better story as one story than as two separate ones.

Lego weapon system
Two weeks ago I received the LME NXT Resource Kit (item #979648 in the LME announcement. I have made an inventory of the kit but as I have not yet persuaded Peeron that the kit exists, it is difficult to share.
However I can tell you it has most (if not all) of the parts that are in the retail NXT and not in the Education one. Such as 8 of the corner pieces with pins at right angles. Mentioned previously in the Blog here as 'Hassenpins', after Steve Hassenplug. (Steve reported has fight to get such a part added to the kit to the February edition of Wired magazine, see p150.)
There are mundane and interesting Technic parts the Resource kit, such as smaller tyres that fit the NXT wheels. Also tank/tractor treads that engage with the blades on the outside of the wheels too. (The treads are the same as the Mobile Defense Tank, Lego item #7706, which has black coloured NXT wheels).
The big surprise in the kit is this little missile and spring launcher:
ta ta for now,
17 comments:
WOW! What amazing parts!
Hope I can get this resource kit ASAP.
Is there anyone can help me to point out what's the difference between retail and education NXT parts?(571 vs 400+ pieces)
My friend got LME, but he said he can not build the robot of retail version (the scorpion?) for the reason of lacking parts.
Thank you and forgiven my broken English! ^_^
- Aug 31, 2006, 12:03:00 PM
What is the problem with informing Peeron that the Resource kit exists? It has been on their website (with picture) for many months!

How does the missile launcher work?
Is there some spring inside?
- Aug 31, 2006, 5:16:00 PM
- Tony Naggs said...
Hi all
Hunter - the Education NXT has a nice plastic box for classroom storage. You can see the inventories at www.peeron.com and search for NXT. Or click these links:
retail NXT kit or Education NXT kit.
All the basic class projects with Education NXT are built around the basic three wheel "tri-bot". (So that the robot does need a complete rebuild for each class.) The NXT Education Resource Kit seems to allow the scorpion and the other robots to be built.
Mike - The set #979649 (#9649-1 or Peeron) is the Resource Kit for the RCX kits. (I have one of those as well, for all the gears and wheels.) The NXT Resource Kit is set #979648 (shortens to #9648-1 for Lugnet & Peeron), and it is listed in the Lugnet set guide. (Follow the links.)
I emailed the #9648 inventory to Peeron about 10 days ago. Also some minor corrections to the NXT base sets. I posted the details here: http://news.lugnet.com/inv/?n=220
Matthias - Yes, there is a spring inside. I think, if you look at the big version of the second picture, you can see the notches in the liftarm part of the missile that hold it in the launcher.
Pulling the lever at the back of the launcher backwards a little releases the spring, and missile. Range is about 2m on a level surface, and about 4m inclned at 45 degrees. The black rubber nose is quite soft.

I got this gun piece with the Star Wars Slave One model. It's surprisingly powerful. I only just got the NXT and hadn't seen the opportunity to combine them. Robotank here I come!

I had to get my LME Kit from Britain, as all US outlets I could find were sold out (including the US LEGO store).
Does anyone know of US stores that have the kit in stock? (LEGO sent me a noncommittal email about when the kits would again be available through them).
- Sep 1, 2006, 1:11:00 AM
- Rick Rhodes said...
In my previous post, I was referring to the LME Resource Kit (i.e, the parts kit and not the kit with the brick).
The resource kit is the one that seems to be out of stock everywhere (except in the UK).
- Sep 1, 2006, 1:18:00 AM
I have two similar cannons, they don't have the small hole below the trigger.
- Sep 1, 2006, 1:59:00 AM
FLL teams received the base LME kit as well as the resource kit - thank goodness as the resource kit contains some really useful pieces as Tony pointed out.
However, we are lacking the building instructions for the cool designs in the retail kit (Spike, RoboArm, etc.) Does anyone know if these instructions are posted anywhere on the net?
- Sep 1, 2006, 3:25:00 AM
Those instructions come with the retail version software and are probably the property of Lego. If someone were to redo the instructions in MLCAD or other they'd probably get in trouble with Lego or maybe not. I'd like the tutorials and stuff that comes with the ed version, but I bought the retail kit. Them's the breaks.
- Sep 1, 2006, 3:31:00 AM
I have two of them and they are a little dificult to shoot with a motor. Because of the way the "triger" on te top must be moved, regular gears have some trouble with it.
- Sep 1, 2006, 6:17:00 AM
Should be through modoration.
- Sep 1, 2006, 7:11:00 AM
- Tony Naggs said...
Hi all
Peeron has discovered the NXT Resource Kit now, and I hope my inventory will appear here in the next day or two.
Thanks for the help identifying the weaponry. I had not seen the parts before and had not found them Peeron or Lugnet.
Regarding the retail kit models, maybe if Lego Education are listening they can suggest putting them on the official Mindstorms web pages?
Rick - I can only guess that US schools & colleges have bought both NXT Kits and Resource Kits for the new term. Whilst British schools have bought the basic kits and will maybe get the Resource Kits when they get as new budget.

I just built a small atachement with this cannon on it . The attachement can be hooked up to any robot and can be shot by programing the robot or manualy . It can shoot up to 3 feet or you can about 38 inches .
- Sep 1, 2006, 4:41:00 PM
- Tony Naggs said...
I think the NXT Resource Kit will be quite popular with people who have the retail NXT kit: it has a great collection of parts for building bigger projects.
The picture inventory is now available at Peeron for you to browse. Only the treads do not have a picture at the moment - they are quite similar to the treads on the RCX kit.

There are versions of the building instructions for the retail kits on Lego's web site. Here is the main link:

Head is back for euoro tour!!!!
Well I am a KoRn fan who just recently got back into KoRn.
They use to be my band in middle school and all thorughout high school, I started listening back in 1996 and fell in love with them, I bought ever cd, but when Head left, so did I, I was upset by the fact that my favorite band is breaking up, so I stopped spending money on their albums, shirts, cds, and shows.
I recently (just about five months ago) started getting back into their stuff, I finally got over the fact that Head wasn't in the band, I caught up on their cd's and let me tell you, I wasn't as upset at the fact that David left, but I am glad they got Ray Luzier to be on those skins, he at least can play the songs like David use to, I was watching youtube videos of David right before he left, and not even he could play the songs like he use to, I guess that has to do with his wrists, and Ray plays them way better than any replacement drummer you guys have ever used (Joey Jordison).
Anyways I know the guys ( Jon, Fieldy, Munky, and Ray) probably never read the stuff in here, but if you guys do, I want you to know that I like the fact that Head is on two shows with yall, that is freaking awesome.
I remember watching that Carolina Rebellion reunion with head and the guys doing blind, and I was so excited, that my 12 year old self popped out and I was dancing around the living room shouting in excitment at the though of Head back with the band.
Let me let you guys know something, if you were to bring Head back, I hope this happens, people will come back in droves and start spending even more money on you guys, I know I will.
Plus honestly, ever since Head left, yalls music has lacked something, now I know it isn't yalls fault he left, he found god and made his own choices, but now since Fieldy has found god and changed his life too, things should be easier for yall, especially in the area of getting Head back, he was part of the groups soul, and the band has felt empty since his departure.
lots of love,
from one of the old school fans
Head will complete yall

The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans all nuclear explosions in all environments, for military or civilian purposes.
Arms control advocates had campaigned for the adoption of a treaty banning all nuclear explosions since the early 1950s, when public concern was aroused as a result of radioactive fall-out from atmospheric nuclear tests and the escalating arms race. Over 50 nuclear explosions were registered between 16 July 1945, when the first nuclear explosive test was conducted by the United States at Alamogordo, New Mexico, and 31 December 1953. Prime Minister Nehru of India voiced the heightened international concern in 1954, when he proposed the elimination of all nuclear test explosions worldwide. However, within the context of the Cold War, skepticism in the capability to verify compliance with a comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty posed a major obstacle to any agreement. On 13 October 1999 the United States Senate rejected ratification of the CTBT.
Limited success was achieved with the signing of the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963, which banned nuclear tests in the atmosphere, underwater and in space. However, neither France nor China, signed the PTBT.
A major step towards non-proliferation of nuclear weapons came with the signing of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968. Under the NPT, non-nuclear weapon states were prohibited from, inter alia, possessing, manufacturing or acquiring nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices. All signatories, including nuclear weapon states, were committed to the goal of total nuclear disarmament.
One of the largest issues was the priorities of the different countries. The Non-aligned movement countries were highly concerned with vertical proliferation (more and more bombs, new bomb technology) while the Nuclear Powers were focusing on horizontal proliferation (nuclear bombs being produced by states other than themselves).
The US has signed the CTBT, but not ratified it. There is ongoing debate whether or not the US should ratify the CTBT. Proponents of ratification claim that it would:
The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), an international organization headquartered in Vienna, Austria, was created to build the verification regime, including establishment and provisional operation of the network of monitoring stations, the creation of an international data centre, and development of the On Site Inspection capability.
The monitoring network consists of 337 facilities located all over the globe. As of January 2008, nearly 70 percent of monitoring stations are operational. The monitoring stations register data that is transmitted to the international data centre in Vienna for processing and analysis. The data is sent to states that have signed the Treaty.

I modeled this while I was toying with some Play-Doh at the dining room table with one of my nieces. I didn't start out with any specific plans for what I was going to create, beyond a woman, the figure just naturally developed into a witch--perhaps the color of the clay subconciously suggested it to me. I would have liked to work on this piece a bit longer, but the Play-Doh was beginning to dry out and develop cracks, so I called it quits after about 30 minutes of labor (I imagine misting it with a bit of water might have made the material more cohesive and malleable again, but that idea didn't occur to me at the time). When my niece wanted to know how the nameless witch crashed, my on-the-spot answer was, "She let the cat steer the broom."
Nothing but black Play-Doh.
I didn't actually measure it before I crumbled the whole affair back up into a ball and returned the modeling clay back to its' plastic can (except for the cat, which my niece insisted on keeping), but I'd estimate the witch figure was roughly 6.0 inches/15.2 cm in length.
Around half an hour on February 27, 2011.

The relationship between race, ethnicity, and breast cancer is complex. Many studies have shown that women of different racial and ethnic backgrounds have different rates of developing and surviving breast cancer, but the reasons for this difference aren't always clear.
According to the National Cancer Institute, white women are the ethnic group most likely to develop breast cancer, while Korean American women are the least likely. However, black women have a greater chance of being diagnosed with more aggressive, advanced-stage breast cancer. They are also more likely to be diagnosed at a younger age and tend to have a worse prognosis (chance of recovering).
Risk factors and race
Researchers have found that some of the differences in cancer diagnosis and survival may be linked to the fact that many black women have less access to regular medical care, such as having a primary care doctor. Having a primary care doctor increases the chance that a person will have regular check-ups and screening tests that may find breast cancer at an earlier stage before it has the chance to spread.
Various lifestyle factors that are more common in some ethnic groups, such as unhealthy eating habits and weight issues, as well as other health concerns, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, may also influence prognosis. Research has shown that obesity is a major risk factor for developing breast cancer, as well as decreasing recovery and survival following treatment, no matter what race you are.
Genetic factors
There are also genetic (inherited) factors associated with a person's racial and ethnic ancestry that influence breast cancer development and survival. For example, Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish women have a higher risk of carrying specific mutations (changes) in the BRCA breast cancer susceptibility genes that make them more likely to develop breast and/or ovarian cancer than women who do not have a BRCA mutation.
African ancestry has been linked with an increased risk of developing a particular type of breast cancer known as triple-negative breast cancer. This type of cancer is called "triple-negative" because the tumors do not have receptors for estrogen and/or progesterone, like normal breast tissue does, and they do not have a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor two (HER2). As a result, triple-negative breast cancers do not respond to medications that block estrogen production or receptors, like tamoxifen (Nolvadex, Soltamox) or aromatase inhibitors, or to HER2-blockers like trastuzumab (Herceptin) and lapatinib (Tykerb). As a result, chemotherapy is often the treatment of choice, but when it does not work, triple-negative cancers may be difficult to treat.
Interestingly, male breast cancer is also more common among African as well as African American men. Learn more about the genetics of breast cancer.
Steps you can take
Although you can't change your race or ethnicity, there are still a number of things you can do to lower your risk of breast cancer. First, it is important to talk with your doctor about getting a mammogram and decide on an appropriate screening schedule. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women between the ages of 50 and 74 have a mammogram every two years and that mammography be considered in women aged 40 to 49 after evaluating the risks and benefits of this test with a doctor. The American Cancer Society recommends yearly mammography beginning at age 40. If you are worried about the cost of these tests, there are programs, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, that provide free or low-cost mammograms to women who qualify. Find other financial resources that can help you manage the cost of cancer care.
If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, it is important to talk with your doctor about the most effective treatment plan for your type and stage of cancer. Researchers have found that black women are less likely to get high-quality treatment if they have cancer, often due to a lack of social and economic resources. It is also important to consider participating in a clinical trial. Black women and women of other ethnic groups do not participate in clinical trials as frequently as white women and, therefore, have less access to new and promising therapies. A lack of participation in clinical trials also means that less is learned about cancer in women who are members of minority groups.
In addition, you can make healthy lifestyle choices that can keep your risk of developing cancer as low as possible and improve your health after a cancer diagnosis. This includes:
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Exercising regularly
- Limiting the amount of alcohol you drink
- Eating nutritious food
- Stopping tobacco use
Learn more about risk factors and prevention.
Understanding risk and statistics
Cancer risk and survival statistics should be interpreted with caution. Although these numbers may be a good way to learn about how race may influence breast cancer risk and survival, they can't predict if someone will develop breast cancer or how well a treatment will work for a specific person. Your doctor can help you understand how these statistics relate to your chances of developing breast cancer or chances of being successfully treated. Learn more about cancer statistics.

MABEN – For the second time in five days, the West Oktibbeha boys basketball team couldn't quite deliver the knockout blow to an opposing giant.
After watching a double-digit lead disappear on Friday in a loss to Noxubee County, the Timberwolves saw a similar script unfold Tuesday night in Maben as West Oktibbeha was defeated by Columbus 53-51 in double overtime.
"This is deja vu," said Timberwolves head coach Danny Crawford. "We just weren't able to finish (on Friday). That's the same thing we did (Tuesday).
"We're just not finishing right now and that's bothering me because I've got a veteran group. Bottom line, the last two games we've lost to 4A and 6A schools and we've let them off the hook."
West Oktibbeha (5-2) led by as many as 14 points late in the second quarter against Columbus before the Falcons (2-4) came back and ultimately surged to the win.
"We just stayed the course," said Columbus head coach Sammy Smith. "We didn't panic. I didn't panic, and if I don't panic, the kids don't panic. I just told the kids to relax, don't worry about it, we're going to be OK."
Kendrin Yates led West Oktibbeha with a game-high 19 points, eight of which came after regulation, but it wasn't enough to turn away Columbus.
Von Smith added nine points for the Timberwolves, all nine coming in the first half as West Oktibbeha surged to a 30-16 advantage with 1:57 to play before the intermission.
Along with Smith, the Timberwolves relied on their play in the low post to seemingly take control of the contest.
"We were going inside," said Crawford. "I've got four inside guys that are averaging a double-double right now. They rebound the ball good. They score the ball good. That's been the key to our success this year is getting the ball to them. We were doing that when we were up.
"Second half, we kept going inside, but our intensity just dropped. I didn't expect that at home."
Columbus used West Oktibbeha's struggles to climb back into the game.
By the end of the third quarter, the Falcons had climbed to within six points at 37-31.
Columbus finally evened things at 39-39 when Devin Barry, who finished with 14 points, sank a basket and a free throw with 2:21 left in the fourth quarter.
After each team traded baskets in regulation's final two minutes, the contest went to overtime tied at 41.
In the first extra period, Yates scored six points as West Oktibbeha built a 47-42 lead with just 1:15 to play, but Columbus scored five unanswered points to force an additional frame.
In the second overtime, the Timberwolves took a 51-47 lead, but the Falcons again responded, taking the lead for good on C.J. Scott's basket with 57 seconds remaining.
Aaron Brownlee missed a desperation 3-point attempt for West Oktibbeha as time expired.
With Brownlee's miss, West Oktibbeha's collapse was complete.
Meanwhile Crawford was left searching for answers after the Timberwolves let another one slip away.
"There'd be an explanation for this if I had 9th and 10th graders because I could say they're young," said Crawford. "But when you've got juniors and seniors...that were a game away from the state tournament last year and you're not finishing ballgames, there's no explanation for that."
West Oktibbeha will attempt to bounce back on Friday at home against Okolona.
Friday's action begins with a 6 p.m. girls game.
Girls Game
Columbus 77,
West Oktibbeha 34
MABEN – Kiandria Patterson scored 22 points to lead Columbus in a win over West Oktibbeha.
Jaslyne Bedford scored 18 points for the Lady Timberwolves and Breneshia Brownlee added 11, but it wasn't enough for West Oktibbeha, who fell to 4-3.
"We got off to a bad start," said Lady Timberwolves coach Marcus Johnson. "Our defense, it just broke down, and Columbus executed. They opened it up and jumped out and didn't look back."
West Oktibbeha will try to rebound from Tuesday's loss on Friday when the Lady Timberwolves host Okolona in a 6 p.m. game.

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Called the "stealth cancer," pancreatic cancer accounts for just 2 percent of new U.S. cancer cases — yet is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths, in part because it is so difficult to detect. Tucked behind the small intestine, the pancreas is an organ which produces insulin and releases enzymes that help aid digestion. Pancreatic cancer has a mortality rate of 86 percent making it one of the deadliest cancers — so prevention is key. Obesity and diabetes are known risk factors, but a recent study zeroes in on the role of diet, singling out dark green vegetables as offering particular benefits.
The Mayo Clinic teamed up with the National Institutes of Health to see how dietary patterns impacted pancreatic cancer risk among 1,530 men and women (average age 66) over the course of five years. Overall, lower consumption of fruit and vegetables translated into a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer. Consumption of dark green vegetables had the greatest benefit, a 57 percent reduced risk. This bolsters previous research, which found consumption of at least two cups of vegetables a day — yams, carrots, onions and dark leafy greens — halved pancreatic cancer risk. What else can you do to minimize risk? Here are a few tips:
— Eat more tomatoes, watermelon and guava — all top sources of lycopene, which might help protect the pancreas, according to a University of Montreal study.
— Focus on vitamin D, linked to a 43 percent reduced risk in one study by Northwestern University.
— Avoid processed meat and limit red meat, which are linked to a 70 percent and 53 percent increased risk respectively.
— Quit smoking! Cigarettes don't just cause lung cancer, smokers are two to three times more likely to develop pancreatic cancer.
While more research is needed to confirm the dark green veggie link to lower pancreatic cancer risk, there are plenty of other reasons to enjoy spinach, kale, Swiss chard, broccoli and the like.
