Strange resonance behaviour
November 10, 2014, 04:05:00 am »
I've been through a rather unproductive period, but tonight i switched my MiniBrute back on after a few months.
It has worked perfectly for just short of 2 years, but suddenly the filter/resonance is acting strangely.
In BandPass mode i have almost no resonance at all, you can barely hear the difference between off and full reso.
If i turn down the oscillator, there's no sound what so ever, so not even the slightest touch of self-oscillation, even at full crank resonance.
In LowPass, HighPass and Notch modes i do get resonance, however only while cutoff frequency is above roughly 250Hz - once i drop it below that, the resonance just vanishes. No peaking, no self-oscillation, nothing. Above 250Hz it seems fine.
But, tweaking resonance amount also changes the cutoff point. Even small tweaks in the self-oscillation band, will change the frequency of said self-oscillation by over an octave.
The same also happens when tweaking the BruteFactor.
All the above strike me as very odd, and is a very different experience to how it last behaved.
It has been stored safely, under dust-cover and without any connections. So i can't see how anything external could've somehow influenced or damaged it.
Does any1 recognise above described behaviour from their units? Is it perhaps a change to be somehow expected within the parameters of the design? Or is this perhaps a known fault?
Thank you in advance for any info you can provide.

I could really use some feedback on this, if some1 could test theirs and let me know if there's any similarity to the results.
I still have a few months of store-warranty, if it has somehow suffered, i still have a chance to have it fixed.

Seriously, not a single person could be bothered to switch theirs on and take 2 mins testing the frequency response of the resonance?
Or some of the guys here in the know on the design, could say if it's the proper behaviour?

Sorry i sent my minibrute back last year because of fluctuating pitch issues. The only thing i can recomend is try looking at a few youtube videos. Hopefully you can get an idea of the scale of your minibrute problem or hopefully thats its ok and maybe your missing something really easy. The old saying you cant see the wood for the trees! Hope you get it sorted..

A final update: In november i took it to the store where it was bought. The store clerk agreed that it would be prudent to have it tested. In fact he believed that their demo-model had undergone a similar change, to what i described, within the past couple of months. But he had previously disregarded it as just his "imagination"/remembering wrong. Not unlike myself, as it was a subtle difference.
But it was sent in for repairs, just to be safe and know for sure.
A couple of days ago it finally came back, after near as makes no difference, 2 months with no information what so ever in the mean time. The final report said that something had been soldered, and it was now repaired. But no specifics about what had been faulty. Logic dictates that something must've been wrong, either measurably or visible on the circuitboard. Otherwise i guess they wouldn't try to fix it, but instead sent it back with a "nothing wrong, quit wasting our time" note attached (as would be reasonable had it been the case, i might add).
I'm happy that my beloved synth have come back. That is, untill i switch it on...
Within minutes the filter start emitting a strange scratchy noise at note on, which rapidly escalates in strength while the intended sound of the synth become erratic and diminishing. Next thing i know, there's no sound what so ever - nothing i can do to get any sound.
I switch it off and back on, which restores it to normal behaviour. Or so i thought...
When i turn the BruteFactor past roughly the 1 o'clock position, something in the circuits start emitting a low pitched, out of tune, (60-65Hz ish) sawtooth-like drone. It's unaffected by the gate, and note information. But the filter cutoff does remove frequency information. Tweaking the BruteFactor reveal it disappears once below 1 o'clock setting, and reappears above.
The droning is so powerful that it completely drowns out the oscillator waveforms - even all of them at full tilt at the same time, and the noise source, is a distant whisper behind the droning. The drone's frequency have no correlation to any of the oscillators parameters or function, as far as i can tell.
And before americans think that roughly 60Hz noise = electrical noise from the wall socket. I'm from Europe, our sockets supply 50Hz, which is a noticably lower freq, and any such noise would sound VERY different.
Soon after the filter starts scratching again, and shortly after all sound (incl. the droning) disappear.
The behaviour is repeated 3 times within 30mins, each time the same faults.
Today i took it to the store, disappointed, and explained that whatever they had done, they had just made it worse. I would've liked an explanation as to what the original problem was, as well as whether or not the escalation was caused by the "repair" or was just the original problems "natural" evolution. They offered to attempt again to repair it, but with a heavy heart i asked for my money back.
This total outcome, as well as the many issues people describe in this very forum (and many others), have led me to believe that Arturias components are of sub-par quality. No doubt they made the best sounding and most inspired synth of the new batch of cheap analogue mono synths. And they were 1st (disregarding DSI and Moog doing their kinda seperate thing). But somewhere along the line they must've cut some corners to keep costs low or something.

Chinese Real Estate Is a Bubble, Not a Disaster
The Tier-2 cities, generally speaking the provincial capitals and the remaining central-government-direct-report cities (Tianjin, Chongqin), are more or less in balance in my opinion. Again, my main rationale is the supply of demand in each city's lower rungs on the sociopolitical ladder.
The Tier-3 and lower cities, or at least with tremendous over-building problems, are where the trouble lies. These would be the ghost cities many western reports have been obsessing with, meaning that the bubbles there have already burst. Some of the over-building goes way beyond the realm of plausibility. This is due to the combination of the local governments' obsession with nominal GDP numbers and the moral hazard, the blind belief by developers, investors, and local banks that whatever the government supports will never fail. I'm not sure if more ghost cities would surface.
But even if they do, who cares? It wouldn't matter to anyone except the investors and local banks, and hopefully a few local government heads. If anything, it would mean cheap good housing for the locals, and might even provide some incentive for people to move into these under-developed regions, therefore helping balancing out the economic structure that's been overly tilted toward the eastern region. Good riddance.
China's development has been, and continues to be, very un-balanced, both geographically and in terms of income disparity in any given region. The real estate market, in comparison, has lagged the growing geographic imbalance as prices shot up in absurd places as some investors went bargain hunting. Rebalancing is inevitable; but it will be in the form of the peripheral crashing, not the core.
But the issue of Chinese debt, especially that of local governments, has also caught attention abroad. Could the real estate bubble, even if just in the peripheral, cause a contagion similar to the subprime crisis in 2007? To that my answer is a very clear no. Yes, most, if not all, local governments in China have been guilty of over-building capacity in pretty much all aspects of the economy except R&D, food safety and pollution control. And their debt can only be much larger than official stats, as by way ofCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Pesticides Killing Our Honeybees
MEDWAY -- Their buzzing might scare you, but they are essential to our everyday life, and this past year, 50 to 80 percent of Ohio's honeybees died.
Part of the reason is the harsh winter we had, but now, they're also dying off because of harsh pesticides.
"They got a little honey in here," said Alec Ashbaugh, as he works on his hives.
Honeybees, hard at work in the hive
"That's exactly what we need," he said.
And bringing home the "bacon", or rather pollen.
"We need them for all our fruits and vegetables, in Ohio, melons, apples, grapes," said Ashbaugh.
It's because of the hardworking bees pollinating our fields that we have fresh fruits and vegetables, and without them the cost could go up.
"They would have to figure different ways to pollinate and that would take machines or hand pollination," said Ashbaugh.
The problem, is these busy bees are dying off, killed by pesticides in plants, that you could be putting in your own back yard.
"Those nionics are put in the seedling," he said, "And it's a vascular delivery system that goes, it expresses itself in the pollen and in the nectar and that's when the bees get it."
Nionics for short, weaken the bee's immune system.
And once a bee picks up that pesticide it can bring it back to the hive and infect the rest of its colony.
"They go into fall in a weakened state and then they have trouble over winter, they can't live long enough to over winter and they die out," said Ashbaugh.
You can look for labels on the plants you buy, warning of nionics.
But the scary part is, they're not always properly labeled.
"Even if it is a bee friendly plant it still can be deadly or or cause problems for the bees," said Ashbaugh.
Ashbaugh says the best way to keep the bees alive is to buy local.

They would not be considwered corporate boogeymen if were paying you enough money to make you rich too. My conscience and probably most other people's consciences would be smoothed over with a couple of million or billion dollats in the bank account. Don't be a stick in the mud, become rich and powerful and have the good life when the opportunity shows up. Your principles are not going to keep you fed, warm, and luxurious.

I agree 100% with SocialistBS. Take the money Enbridge is throwing at you, so we can all get rich shipping our oil to Asia.

I am a Victoria BC citizen and I would like to distance myself from the other socialist left wing nut bags that seem to make up a large portion of the BC culture. Many of us feel we are stuck in a socialist hell hole out on the western most coast of Canada. I have never been so shamefully associated with such anti wealth and success people on Earth! They don't want anyone to make money and want to stay poor and suck off the tax payers' welfare system and its freebies. Sell the oil and whatever else product to foreign countries, but don't sell the companies to foreign investors and countries. Canada must maintain majority control of the means of production. Would Microsoft be such a big corporation if they had sold the rights to Windows instead of merely licensing Windows to IBM in 1981?

Nov 26, 2012
The other anti wealth and success Victoria/BC people don't speak for me. I wouldn't want them to speak for me or I may get lumped together with them. They can suck off of welfare freebies. I do want to sell the oil products to the world, but not the means of production to any foreigners. I want Enbridge and every other energy company to help make me rich and dumps millions, billions of dollars on me and others like me. Oh yeah! Show me the MONEY baby! |

BC and especially Victoria the capital seems to be allergic to riches, success, and power. There is a entrenched culture or pandering to the unproductive, bleeding hearts. They seem to want to get more poor or stay at the same level of poor than to get rich. The place will stay broke and dead beat, dead end as long as they maintain that socialist thinking.
Victoria, Canada |
Nov 28, 2012
BC, Victoria probably wouldn't be as poor if more British Columbia people were more business minded and had killer money making instincts instead of socialist, lazy, and a bunch of slackers? All of BC could be a much wealthier and powerful province if the socialists and environmentalist, welfare attitudes were not in the way of wealth generation. BC should be more like Alberta and Saskatchewan on their rising. BC is declining from have to have not. Even Newfoundland's Hibernia oil fields is starting to get it wealthier, from have not to have province. BC has a systemic cultural talent for snatching poverty from the jaws of wealth, snatching defeat from the mouth of victory, etc. |

Why Kenya's pride in Obama victory is tempered
This is a bittersweet moment for Kenyans. There is considerable joy at the achievements of Mr Obama, who makes no secret of his East African heritage. But that pride is tempered by a measure of shame that he would have had a hard time attaining the highest office in the land of his father, simply because of his ethnic roots.
Barack Obama Senior belonged to the Luo community - one of Kenya's most marginalised groups – and his son's elevation to the White House has triggered a national debate on the invidious role of ethnicity in Kenyan political life.
The Luos' troubles go back to the post-independence period and a bitter falling out between Kenya's first two political heavyweights president Jomo Kenyatta (a member of the country's biggest ethnic group the Kikuyu) and his Vice President Jaramogi Odinga (a Luo), which resulted in a period of sustained political persecution of the Luo.
The differences that presaged the estrangement were partly ideological: Kenyatta favoured free market economics while Odinga was a supporter of the communist bloc. In truth, though, many historians put the dispute between the two erstwhile pre-independence allies down to a struggle for resources between the various ethnic elites.
The 1969 assassination of the charismatic Luo minister Tom Mboya - seen by many as a future president - served to harden the ethnic differences. It was Mboya who together with prominent African-American leaders and with the support of JFK organised the student airlifts that took Obama's father to the US for his college studies. When Barack Senior returned home, he was confronted by the ugly realities of ethnic parochialism.
Those differences still haunt Kenya. Today, there is ample evidence that the persistent skewed allocation of state resources has led to stark inequalities that breed resentment in those regions that do not enjoy the favour of the presidency. Government figures show that a Kenyan born in Luoland today can expect to live 16 years less than one born in Kikuyuland.
These inequalities set the stage for the vicious fighting that rocked Kenya earlier this year after what was seen as rigging by the Kikuyu incumbent, Mwai Kibaki, to stave off the challenge of the opposition's man Raila Odinga, a Luo.
But the election of Obama, a black man of Luo descent, in America could yet set the stage for a reversal of this approach. When the dust has settled on the vast expectations that Obama's election has raised, many hope his lasting legacy in Kenya will be a realisation that one's ethnic identity should not be the primary factor in deciding one's eligibility to lead.

Hmmm, this is pretty good.
Sweet will check
This was a little underwhelming. It's definitely good but not up to only memories standards in my opinion.
holy generic lyrics
I can dig it
First time listening to this band. Band sucks. Lyrics suck.
fuk you michael no moar comments for me
Sorry, Chuck. Instrumentation is painfully average and those vox are god awful. Not to mention some of the most dull, shitty and uninspired lyrics I've ever come across.
im just messin with you lol
Would have stuck awkwardly on Only Memories due to the dull, passionless lyrics but its a good song. Nothing like Tunnels though
Song is listenable, but dear lord the lyrics. I've heard more exciting lines on C-SPAN.
Not bad, vocals REALLY get annoying...
yuck. those lyrics.
fuck this comes nowhere near their debut.. *spinns Tunnels*

"I purchased a vehicle from Specialties Automotive without
physically being at the dealership and seeing the vehicle. I have
to say that this was the most pleasant car buying experience that
i have had. I worked with Boyd to make the deal and he answered
all of my questions, went out and sent me multiple pictures of the
vehicle, and was very easy to work with. No pushy car salesman
tactics that make car buying a chore. Boyd made my car buying
experience very easy. I just wish all car buying experiences were
this easy. When the vehicle arrived my expectations were
exceeded. The vehicle was actually better than described. I would
recommend buying your new vehicle from Specialty Automotive.
Thanks again Boyd....love the car!"

PHILADELPHIA — Junior guard Jamaal Franklin leads San Diego State in scoring, rebound, assists and steals, raising questions about whether he might be considering a jump to the NBA. At least one mock draft has him pegged as a lottery pick, and almost all of them say he will be a first-round pick if he skips his senior season.
Oklahoma basketball: Q&A with San Diego State's Jamaal Franklin
But for now, he's an Aztec focused on his team's NCAA Tournament opener against Oklahoma.
Franklin answered questions Thursday about his game and his team:
Q: When you look at the tournament, you've got Doug McDermott at Creighton, yourself at San Diego State. Can you explain what it's like to be a star at a small school?
A: "I never looked at the star (aspect) of it. I just look at playing hard and winning, and if you play good with these guys that sit next to me ... everything works out for everybody."
You stuff the stat sheet in a lot of positive ways, but turnovers have been an issue for you. How do you try to negate some of the turnovers?
"Just play my game. If you've been watching the games lately, my turnovers have been down. There's been some games where I had six or seven, but my turnovers have been down to two at the most in the last 15 games. I've just got to make sure I play my game and play consistent and get my teammates open."
You guys have been in the tournament four consecutive years. Where does that experience help? Where do you think it is really the most valuable?

When Nebraska Head Coach Dan Kendig was hired in 1993, his goals were to return the Nebraska gymnastics program to national prominence and to have Nebraska in a position to win a national title, while also maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence for Husker student-athletes.
Kendig has not only accomplished those goals, but made them a standard for excellence in his 20-year tenure, as Nebraska is considered among the nation's elite in both the gym and the classroom.
In the past 21 seasons of the existence of the NCAA Super Six Finals, Nebraska is one of only six programs, along with Georgia, Alabama, UCLA, Utah and Michigan, to qualify for nine or more team finals, and the Huskers have earned NCAA Championship berths in 14 of the past 17 years. Under Kendig, 39 NU gymnasts have combined to earn 134 All-America honors since 1995, nearly 10 times NU's previous total during the program's first 18 seasons.
At the conference level, the results are equally as impressive. Nebraska has won 13 of the past 18 conference titles, including an unprecedented six straight Big Eight/Big 12 crowns from 1994 to 1999. In addition, Nebraska has had at least one individual conference champion in each of the past 19 seasons and 10 all-around champions, while seven gymnasts have been conference newcomers of the year.
Since Kendig arrived at NU, his teams have compiled an outstanding 486-175-4 record (.719), including a 316-64-2 regular-season record and a 164-114-2 postseason mark. He has also earned national, regional or conference coach-of-the-year honors in 10 of the past 19 seasons.
Twelve of Nebraska's nation-best 15 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in women's gymnastics have come under Kendig, while he has also produced two NCAA Woman of the Year finalists -- Shelly Bartlett in 1997 and Richelle Simpson in 2005. In addition, Kendig coached Joy Taylor when she became the 1996 CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year, as well as Simpson, who was recognized with a 2005 NCAA Top Eight Award. Kendig has guided numerous other academic all-conference and NACGC/W Scholastic All-America honorees in his time at Nebraska.
For his accomplishments with the Husker gymnastics program, Kendig was honored by his peers as the NCAA Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2003.
Continued Success in The Big Ten 2014.The 2014 season was an exciting one for Kendig and the Huskers, as Nebraska battled its way into the Super Six Finals for the 11th time in school history. NU finished the season with a 27-11 overall record, a sixth-place finish at Nationals and another Big Ten Conference Title. Four Huskers took home seven All-America honors at the NCAA Championships, as Jessie DeZiel came away with first-team honors on beam and second-team in the all-around. Hollie Blanske and Jamie Schleppenbach both added first-team honors on beam, while Schleppenbach finished third overall at the event finals. Emily Wong tacked on three honors finishing eighth on floor, 14th on beam and fifth in the all-around competition.
Under Kendig's leadership, Wong capped one of the most successful seasons by a Nebraska gymnast in school history. Through the regular-season she captured 32 event titles, remained undefeated in the all-around. Wong was the 2014 AAI Award winner, an honor given annually to the nation's top gymnast on the basis of athleticism, academic excellence and civic responsibility.
The First Decade: Setting a StandardKendig's first decade at Nebraska produced its share of memorable moments, including nine conference titles, eight NCAA Championships appearances and the NACGC academic team title in 1995.
In his first season as head coach in 1994, Kendig led the Huskers to their first Big Eight title since 1990, while earning conference coach-of-the-year honors. Seven gymnasts, including Kim DeHaan, who was selected the Big Eight Newcomer of the Year, earned all-conference honors, and Nebraska's fourth-place regional finish was its best in four years.
In 1995, Nebraska continued to move toward national prominence. Behind conference titles from Martha Jenkins and DeHaan, Nebraska repeated as Big Eight champions. At the Midwest Regional held in Lincoln, NU finished second, allowing the Huskers to return to nationals for the first time since 1990. The Huskers placed 11th at the NCAA Championships, and Taylor became the sixth Husker in school history to earn All-America honors, placing 15th on bars.
Kendig's 1995 squad also earned considerable praise in the classroom. Nebraska was named NACGC academic gymnastics team champions, compiling a 3.561 team grade-point average, while seven Huskers were named to the Big Eight Academic Honor Roll, including Nicole Duval, who repeated as a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American, and Taylor, who was named a second-team CoSIDA Academic All-American.
The 1996 Huskers closed the book on the Big Eight with a dominating performance at the final conference meet. Kendig was named coach of the year for the third straight season, and NU won its 12th and final Big Eight title. Individually, DeHaan and Taylor combined to win all four individual event titles, marking the first time that NU swept all four crowns at the conference meet. Taylor also won the all-around, while Misty Oxford was named Big Eight Newcomer of the Year.
After advancing to the NCAA Championships for the second straight season, the Huskers barely missed a bid to the Super Six by the slimmest of margins -- .025 of a point -- finishing 10th. DeHaan earned All-America honors on bars by finishing 11th. The 1996 squad also boasted a pair of first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in Taylor and DeHaan, marking the third straight season NU had at least one academic All-American. Taylor, who was selected as the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year, and DeHaan both sported perfect 4.0 GPAs.
In 1997, Kendig's Huskers rewrote the record book, setting school records on each apparatus in posting a 22-2 regular-season mark, NU's best record in seven years. The Huskers, behind seven all-conference selections, captured the inaugural Big 12 title, as Shelly Bartlett won the all-around title and two event titles, while Heather Brink tied Bartlett for the bars crown and was selected as the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.
After finishing third at regionals, the Huskers recorded one of the most memorable moments in school history at the NCAA Championships in Gainesville, Fla. After missing the Super Six Finals in 1996, the Huskers claimed a berth in the team championship by hitting all 24 routines in the preliminary session, forcing a tie with top-ranked Utah. Nebraska won the tiebreaker, which was the score of the sixth gymnast in each event, 234.725-234.350, to make its first appearance in the Super Six Finals in program history. The Huskers finished sixth, as Bartlett, Brink, Oxford and DeHaan captured 10 All-America awards.
In 1998, NU posted a 14-4 regular-season mark and won its fifth straight league title to mark the first time in Big 12 history a women's gymnastics team had won five titles in a row. Nebraska also paced the Big 12 in the classroom, as eight gymnasts earned academic All-Big 12 honors, including seven first-team honorees. Courtney Brown, Laura Ohlendorf and Oxford were named NACGC Scholastic All-Americans.
In 1999, Nebraska enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in program history, going 26-10, winning the Big 12 title and qualifying for the NCAA Championships. NU returned to the Super Six for the first time since 1997, finishing sixth, as Brink, Oxford and Brown earned eight All-America honors. In addition, four gymnasts captured Scholastic All-America honors, while all 10 athletes who were eligible for academic all-conference honors earned first-team or honorable-mention accolades.
The 2000 season was a special one for Kendig and the Huskers, as Nebraska celebrated its program's silver anniversary season with a 36-9 record, the first regional title since 1983 and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, equaling the best finish in school history. NU was ranked as high as third nationally, and set numerous team and individual school records. Individually, Heather Brink won the NCAA all-around and vault titles and became the first Husker gymnast to win the Honda Award, emblematic of the nation's top gymnast.
The Huskers reached new heights in 2001, smashing the school total team score record by more than three quarters of a point with a 197.75. NU topped the previous record team score seven times that year, highlighted by a commanding performance at the Big 12 Championships, where Nebraska set school records on bars (49.725) and team away scores (197.65).
In 2002, the Huskers finished with a 23-8 record, a fifth Big 12 title, a third consecutive regional title and a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. NU's 2002 team excelled in the classroom as well, earning a team GPA of 3.4015.
Kendig's 2003 squad, arguably the strongest team Nebraska has ever produced, finished with a 27-4 overall record, a sixth Big 12 title, a fourth consecutive regional title and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships at the Devaney Center. The Huskers set school team records on vault, floor and total scores with a stellar 198.30 against Iowa State. Simpson captured the NCAA all-around and floor titles to lead a group of seven gymnasts who earned a total of 16 All-America honors, the most awards Nebraska has received in a single year.
The Next Chapter of SuccessKendig entered his second decade as the Husker head coach in 2004, and NU compiled a 15-9-1 record and a second-place finish at the NCAA Southeast Regional in Lincoln. NU traveled to its sixth consecutive NCAA Championships, where NU finished in 10th place. Four gymnasts earned first- and second-team All-America awards at the NCAA Championships - Libby Landgraf (V, UB), Jamie Saas (BB), Kristi Esposito (AA, BB) and Michele Zabawa (V). Gina Bruce earned NU's only perfect 10.0 score on the vault versus Missouri on Jan. 31.
In 2005, NU followed up with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, working through adversity with the loss of an injured Simpson in the postseason. Four gymnasts grabbed seven All-America awards, as Parsons came away with first-team honors on floor and second-team accolades in the all-around, beam and vault. Esposito was a first-team honoree on beam, while Zabawa and Desire' Sniatynski earned second-team recognition on bars. Simpson, a nine-time All-American, was honored as the AAI American Award winner, making her the first Nebraska gymnast to accomplish such a feat. Simpson was also named Nebraska's Female Student-Athlete of the Year, earned a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and was honored with the NCAA Top Eight Award.
The 2006 season saw the Huskers go 26-11-1 in a fifth-place NCAA Championships finish. On the first day of national championship competition, NU finished first in their preliminary session for the program's best opening performance since 2003. Seven Huskers took home 10 All-America awards to close the year, with Parsons leading the way with first-team honors on vault, floor and the all-around. Tricia Woo was a first-team honoree on floor and a second-team winner on beam, while Vanessa Meloche took home first-team accolades on bars. Zabawa and Sniatynski also earned second-team All-America status on bars, while Stephanie Carter and Kylie Stone were named to the second team on floor and vault, respectively.

Kendig's Husker ConnectionKendig's ties to Husker gymnastics date back to 1981, when he served as an assistant under Judy Schalk for three seasons. In his first stint at Nebraska, the Huskers won two Big Eight titles and made NCAA appearances in 1982 and 1983. The 1983 squad was one of only five NU squads in school history to win an NCAA regional.
In 1983, Kendig became the head coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he stayed until 1992. His teams captured NCAA Division II national titles in 1988 and 1989, won six regional titles and produced 37 All-Americans.
During the 1993 season, Kendig served as head coach at Cornell, where he coached three academic All-Americans. Kendig, who earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Kentucky in 1979, then returned to his NU roots after the 1993 season. At that time, he also became an instructor at the Woodward Gymnastics Camp in Woodward, Pa. In his 25 years at Woodward, Kendig has advanced from an instructor to a program director to a master staff instructor.
