Korg Wavedrum
A phenomenally good electronic intstrument remade
Those with long memories will remember the introduction of the original Korg Wavestation in the mid-'90s. It was only a decade-and-a- half ago, but that's a lifetime in electronic music terms, so it's a good thing indeed that the brand has revisited what was revered as one of the most inspiring, odd, playable electro percussion toys in musical history.
The new Wavedrum might be significantly more affordable than the first version (which retailed for £1500-odd when released), but it arguably looks better. Out is the, erm, toilet-seat aesthetic of the original and in is a 'futuristic conga' look.
"It's hard to describe this second generation Wavedrum's breathtaking sound and playability. It's phenomenally good"
It's still a hefty enough piece of kit and, at just over 13" in diameter, it's perfectly sized for hand or stick playing. The chassis of the Wavedrum might be plastic, but it inspires confidence in terms of longevity, and the steel 'hoop' and tactile head are instantly inviting.
The fact that the Wavedrum feels more like a real instrument than an electronic gadget will become something of a theme in this review - and the fact that the head is tensionable (with five bolts) is just one of the factors that plays a key part in this.
The rounded profile of the hoop, and its satin finish, are clearly designed for comfort, but there's extra functionality built in here too. Two notched ridges (wide spaced on the right of the hoop and closer on the left) are present to allow for additional sonic options.
Scraping a stick or flicking across these ridges with a fingernail gives a completely different response than playing on the head in 'standard' fashion. The playing area rightly dominates the unit, with controls - limited to a volume control, six buttons, three LEDs and a 'Value' pot - taking up a narrow strip at the top of the drum.
Connections to and from the Wavedrum are similarly simple. Two 1/4" jacks for left and right stereo output, a headphone out and Aux In (the latter two both on mini-jacks) and that's your lot. Yep, there's no MIDI - more of which later.
Internally, things are a lot more complex, however. The Wavedrum's DSP innards combine analogue, additive, non-linear and physical modelling synthesis methods to deliver 36 sound-shaping algorithms. And these basic building blocks appear alongside 200 different PCM instruments that cover some extremely convincing acoustic percussion emulations. If all of that means next to nothing then read on, because it simply means good things are contained within.
Hands on
Before delving into the gloriousness of the Wavedrum's sonic arsenal, it should be pointed out that just as it's a flexible musical performer, it's also versatile from a playing perspective. The unit can be mounted on any standard snare drum stand for inclusion in a kit, mounted on a taller stand for playing at conga height, or nestled into your lap for sat-down hippy jamathons around a camp fire. Near an electrical outlet, clearly.
Once set-up, you can start digging in, with hands, sticks, mallets or whatever you prefer. Either way, you're going to be spoiled. We've already alluded to the fact that the Wavedrum feels like a real instrument. On the most basic level that's because its recreations of congas, djembes, snares and myriad other acoustic instruments are so impressive.
The emulations are complex and deep, responsive to every playing nuance; as such the Wavedrum avoids any sensation of just being a clever trigger. Instead it feels organic, alive and, yup, very real. If you were just to use the Wavedrum as a source of acoustic percussion sounds you'll never tire of it. But the real fun starts when you harness its wilder side.
Within the 100 preset programs are gems like Yoga Breathing Drum, a deep tabla tone with a 'talking' pitch bend when you press the head and Japanese taiko and tsuzumi drum sounds triggered from the rim. It's hard to describe this second generation Wavedrum's breathtaking sound and playability. It's phenomenally good.
But there will be those that raise an eyebrow at what is an unarguably clunky, arcane editing system that involves multiple button pushes (and remembering that 'U.Cr' and 'P.tn' are the three-segment LED's way of announcing the Velocity Curve and Pressure Tune parameters), and a lack of MIDI. Frankly, it's oddness like this that adds to the Wavedrum's character, though - you have to learn to work with it and around its quirks.
And no MIDI? Well, the resulting standalone nature only further reinforces the idea of the Wavedrum as instrument, not studio trigger machine.
MusicRadar Rating
Organic, tactile feel. Captivating, other-worldly tone. All-in-all, phenomenally good.
It's not very easy to tweak. No MIDI.
There's no way of covering every last aspect of the Wavedrum's abilities in a review like this - pages could be written without really being able to convey its organic feel. You'll have to sit with the manual to get the most from it but this level of engagement is what the Wavedrum deserves. Invest some time in it and it'll pay you back over and over.
Left and right stereo outputs; Aux in; headphone output
200 PCM instruments; 26 algorithms; head, rim and pressure sensors
100 preset, 100 user programs and 100 playalong loops

Midwest Living Review
When a scenic drive through Kansas' Flint Hills isn't enough of a prairie experience, visitors can get knee-deep in grassland beauty and heritage at Manhattan's new $24.5 million Flint Hills Discovery Center. It takes you on an interactive trek (nothing stuffy about it) through the geology, flora and fauna and original Native Peoples to today's ranchers and preservationists talking on your individual touch screens about the continent's only remaining tallgrass prairie. What blows everybody away, literally, is the "Tallgrass Prairie: Tides of Time" film, where you should start your visit. Shown every 30 minutes, the film sweeps across the theater's curved 67-foot-wide screen with panoramic photography and inspiring narration. Gusts blow through the theater during wind-swept scenes, snow falls around you in winter settings and smoke billows during burning season, along with a thunderstorm that almost sends you searching for cover! Another hit: the Underground Forest that goes beneath the prairie to show the grasses' 10-foot long root systems and the critters burrowed there. Visitors enter the contemporary building through a three-story limestone-and-glass cylindrical tower. Permanent exhibits fill the main floor, a children's play zone and temporary exhibits occupy the second floor and the third leads to an outdoor terrace. The center anchors a new downtown development, with hotels and a public park. "If half the people who leave here have a better understanding of the importance of the Flint Hills and its need for preservation, then we've done our job," says director Bob Workman. We certainly did. Plan to spend at least 90 minutes there. It's open daily; admission charged.

This morning, Disney announced that they were creating Disney Epic Mickey, an action platformer for the Wii that's looking to give the vaunted mouse some new life. Mickey travels to a place called the Cartoon Wasteland — a place for Disney creations that have either retired or faded into obscurity. The caretaker of the wasteland is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who was Walt Disney's first star … until Mickey came along. Naturally, this leads to issues when Mickey stumbles into the wasteland and ruins the land's sense of balance. Now, it's up to Mickey to provide damage control.
Here's a snippet about gameplay from Disney:
Players use the Wii Remote to wield magical paint and thinner to re-shape the world around them. Paint's creativity and thinner's damaging effect give the player robust tools and empowers them to make choices about how they move through the world. Each player's decisions to use paint, thinner or both dynamically changes the world with consequences that affect the environment, interactions with other characters, and even Mickey's appearance and abilities.
The painting concept immediately brings me right to Okami, an outstanding game from Capcom where you had the ability to "paint" items into the scenery and watch them spring to life — for instance, if you painted a sun at night, you would immediately make it daytime.
Disney sent over some screens and art for the game, so you can see it after the jump. The game's slated to drop in the fall of 2010.
And, here's some concept art:

1. How did you come to read your first Discworld book?
I saw those little versions of the first Discworld books in a charity shop & bought them.
2. What was your first Discworld book?
The first one I read was Equal Rites.
3. Will you read more?
I now have all, plus a few audio books & I have read all, some more than once.
4. Which one do you intend to read next?
I am going to wait for the next TP book.
5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary?
As I had that one with the others in the little book collection, I realised that was the first, so read that next & so on. I then went & bought the big copies.
I think Equal Rites can stand alone, but it was good to read the first & subsequent books after.

I have been trial running a club in which I teach programming for the past year and while they have progressed what they really lack is the most fundamental concept to programming, analytical thinking.
As I now approach the second year of teaching to the children (aged 12 - 14) I am now realising that before I begin teaching them the syntax and how to actually program an app (or what they would rather, a game) I need to introduce them to analytical thinking first.
I have already found Scratch and similar things such as Light-Bot and will most certainly be using the, to teach them how to implement their logical thinking but what I really need are some tips or articles on how to teach analytical thinking itself to children aged 12 - 14.
What I'm looking for are some ideas on how to teach the kind of thinking that these kids will need in order to get them into programming, whether that be analytical, logical or critical. How and what should I teach them relating to the way their minds need to be wired when programming solutions to problems?

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Andi Just what I was looking for. I was going to just get a heavier gauge resistance band for my assisted pull ups and then I saw this. Easy to install onto my pull up bar. The fact that it comes with three bands is great because you can start with three, build up strength, move onto only using two and so on and so forth until you can do a pull up unassisted. For me I only use one band, but other people use our home gym who need the use of all three. So it's good for all of us. It mimics the form of a strict pull up much better than some other methods of assisted pull ups, for example putting one foot on a chair. I think for anyone working on doing a strict pull up unassisted this is the perfect tool. Simple and very effective. March 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by CF2013 Good price, but quality questionable Purchased this product for use in training strict pullups. No instructions included, but it's pretty simple to figure out and install on my pullup bar. The bands are not manufactured in a complete circle, but are glued together to make one. Hope the glue holds up, because it makes me nervous about the adhesive failing when I have my body weight on it. This is not easily seen by the way the product is packaged in the box. Also, the green paint or whatever it is that is used to apply the company logo to the bands came off all over my hands and does not wash off easily. Yes, this product is less expensive than purchasing traditional CF bands, and it's nice to have the flexibility of increasing the resistance, but I don't think this product is manufactured as well as it could be. July 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by tnacc Pull up assist It allows me to do pull ups with a full range of motion. December 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Al GREAT product, but no directions. Great product & the use is pretty straight forward, but it would have helped if there were some "tips" of us maybe or "things NOT to do," but overall once it was all figured out good product for the price. October 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by kingfischer great product Gives you the ability to lower resistance over time. Gives you full.range of motion and keeps you in correct form unlike using the "chair technique" to assist your pull ups. Recommended for P90x. September 26, 2014

Interior trim can give a room balance, definition and proportion; highlight points of architectural interest and ornamentation; and set its tone and character. It can take the form of window and door casings; baseboards; wainscoting and paneling; pillars and mantels; and crown, picture and chair-rail molding. Think of trim like the frame of a painting: It outlines and enhances the beauty of what's inside.
At its most elemental, trim adds punctuation to a room's elements. Crown molding signals that the wall is ending and the ceiling is beginning. Baseboard announces the transitions between wall and floor. Casings define the perimeter of doors and windows.
But trim also has the aesthetic function of enhancing or changing the perception of a room's size and shape. By using trim to create strong lines, you can make a room seem larger, or by breaking up soaring walls, you can make it seem cozier. Through the use of trim you can both enhance and complete the design style you envision for the space.
Both the architectural style of the home and your client's personal taste will play a large part in both the style and color options for trim. For example, heavy Victorian trim does not suit a ranch-style structure or an Arts and Crafts cottage, just as minimalist trim lacks the impact required for a Victorian or Georgian design.
As with any design decision, when selecting the trim types and colors for a room, you have to determine the end goal. What impression does your client want the room to convey? Relaxed or stimulating? Modern or classical? Sophisticated or eclectic? Dramatic or formal?
Trim types
Most trim is constructed from wood, medium density fiberboard (MDF) or polyurethane.
- Wood. Most interior trim projects are done with stock softwood moldings. Pine, poplar and basswood are all common species. Stain-grade moldings are made from single lengths of lumber without knots. Paint-grade moldings may have cosmetic flaws or be made up of many shorter pieces that are butt- or finger-jointed together. For clear-finished trim work, it's best to use specialty hardwoods like oak, cherry and maple.
- MDF. This paint-grade trim is less expensive than wood but when painted is difficult to distinguish from the real thing. MDF trim has a smooth surface, comes pre-primed, can usually be finished with one coat of paint, requires little or no sanding, and is more resistant to dings and dents than most softwoods. However, it's heavy, requires more labor to install and will reflect every undulation in an uneven wall.
- High-density polyurethane. This is a lightweight, inexpensive alternative to wood. It comes in many patterns (including ornate classical profiles that are extremely expensive to duplicate in wood), is easy to install, and requires no priming or sanding before painting. It won't rot, and it expands and contracts much less than wood when exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.
Going with the same color
For a contemporary room, design experts suggest using techniques that help the trim blend with the room color. This can be achieved by painting the trim the same color as the walls or a tinted version of it. It gives the room a fresh, unified look. If the walls are warm-toned, it's usually a good idea to stick with a warm trim. Likewise, pair cool wall tones with cool trim tones. Sticking with the same undertones keeps a room from looking disjointed and the colors from looking muddy. For open floor layouts, where rooms flow into each other or are adjoined by open entryways, keeping trim style and color consistent throughout provides a sense of cohesiveness, especially if the wall color changes from room to room.
Going lighter
For classic or traditional interiors, using a white or off-white paint can really play up the trim and bring out its historical or intricate qualities. And many design experts consider white the perfect color for any trim, regardless of interior style or wall color. With dark walls, white trim lightens and brightens the room while making the wall color really "pop." And when walls are painted light or muted colors, white trim makes the color appear crisp and clean. Pure white, which is often thought of as cool or blue white, is ideal in a room with great natural light. It pairs well with cool-toned walls, has the most reflective quality, and is ideal for southern climates and ocean views. In northern climates, or in rooms with limited natural light, pure white may look too gray. For these conditions, use creamy whites with warm (yellow) undertones.
Going dark
A trend that has grown in popularity of late is selecting dark colors for trim – even black. Dark trim gives a room more depth than white or light trim does, and very effectively frames views when used on window casings. In addition, dark trim contrasts nicely with some of today's trendiest room colors: soft aquas, powder blues, greens – from lime to celadon – and the gamut of grays. And going dark doesn't have to mean just dark brown or black – consider selecting a color that's several shades deeper than the color you've chosen for the walls. And of course, homes built in the late 19th century and earlier normally included beautifully intricate woodwork stained or varnished in colors ranging from mahogany to honey.
Tricks of the trade
Just as wall color can affect the size, shape and appearance of a room and even alter the mood, so too can the use of trim.
- Lower the ceiling. Install picture-rail or chair-rail molding on the walls of the room and paint the rail, and/or the wall area above it, a darker color than the rest of the walls to draw the ceiling down.
- Raise the roof. Install crown molding around the perimeter of the ceiling and paint it a darker color than the ceiling to draw the eye upwards. Another technique is to take the door trim right up to the ceiling, creating what is called "entablature." This appears to make the ceiling rise.
- Enlarge a room. Paint the trim the same color as or a lighter shade than the wall color to make the walls feel like they are receding.
- Shorten a room. To make a long room appear shorter, install wood panels on the end wall.
- Highlight an architectural feature. Paint the feature – be it an archway, pillar or mantel – a color that contrasts with but is of equal intensity to the walls, to guide the eye to the feature.
- Lighten it up. To keep dark walls from looking oppressive, consider adding a chair rail or wainscoting to the lower half.
- Achieve Old World style. If you want a room to reflect a colonial-style design, try pairing off-white or cream walls with contrasting trim – for example, gray-blue, muted green, mustard yellow or barn red.
- Leave it natural. For rooms with high-quality wood trim, leaving the trim and doors a natural color plays up the beautiful texture of the wood and brings natural warmth and texture to the room.

The ratings for the Oscars were down again. I don't know if they've figured out what the reason is yet, but I would be surprised that one of them isn't the narcissistic of winners to use their moment on stage to pontificate to the world. It's not just the Oscars, it's all the awards shows, these idiots just can't help themselves
When Al Gore did it he declared to a packed house of limousine liberals, who live their lives to the absolute height of excess, that we should all do our part to reduce our carbon footprint. I drive a Toyota Corolla, I should be telling Gore what HE needs to do...if only he could hear me over the engine on his private jet, or from the gates of his energy guzzling mansions.
All those hypocrites have to do is adopt a middle class lifestyle....I'm sure they'd rather move to Hell.
Then we have this year, with these make-believe bubble dwellers chiming in on what's happening in Wisconsin and extolling the "woes" of public employee unions...
At the Academy Awards tonight, best cinematography winner Wally Pfister made a point during his acceptance speech of thanking his union crew on "Inception."....
"I think that what is going on in Wisconsin is kind of madness right now," Pfister says. "I have been a union member for 30 years and what the union has given to me is security for my family...."
From The Note
Taxpayers don't pay for your private sector union Mister Pfister (of course the "P" is silent). Maybe you should learn the difference between your union and the public sector before spouting off like you get your news from a Magic 8 Ball.
Hollywood has forgotten that the world tunes in to the Oscars for pomp and circumstance....not pompous circumstance. Thats why I don't just choose to not watch, I actually despise the entire event.
If they want to bring people like me into the fold I have a modest proposal...try some honest marketing, so we all know what we're actually getting....it might actually work.

According to Michael Fish and his cabal of soothsayers, there's snow on the way to the UK this week.
Which means you're about to be deluged by a host of sanctimonious 'driving tips', ordering you to email the Highways Agency a detailed itinerary of your morning commute, and pack at least a dozen emergency flares in case you become buried in the half-centimetre of snow forecast.
TopGear, of course, would never do such a thing. Here's our simple three-step guide to surviving the mighty blizzard/10-second snow flurry:
(a) Stock up on plenty of Spam.
(b) Make sure there's an ice scraper in your car,
(c) Most importantly, wrap up your computer's desktop with a nice, warm pixelated blanket in the shape of one of the wallpapers below.
We've trawled through some of Top Gear's most exciting wintery adventures and pulled out some of our favourite shots. There are giant Pandas, supercars on ice, a KTM in the Arctic, plus lots, lots more.
All you have to do is scroll through the gallery, click the size that takes your fancy and add it to your desktop background. Then pop the kettle on.

Let's say you're pulling your race car with your dualie through the countryside, and pass an Amish commuter in his horse-drawn buggy along the way; the irony here is that the truck, trailer, buggy, and race car all share the same primitive leaf-spring suspension. Although it's true that some drag racers have managed to run mid-7s on leaf springs, they still have some severe limitations when asked by the chassis to turn or stop. As such, dumping them in favor of street-style four-link conversion kits has become very popular. By allowing the springs to do the suspending, and the control arms to locate the rearend, four-link systems provide dramatic improvements in handling and ride quality. However, they're not the only game in town anymore.
BMR Suspension has recently introduced a complete line of torque arm suspension systems for classic Chevys. Much like the OE suspension used in third- and fourth-generation Camaros, these setups rely on a set of trailing arms in lieu of the leaf springs to locate the rearend, and a centrally mounted torque arm to control axlewrap. A Watt's link keeps the rearend square beneath the vehicle, and coilovers allow for plenty of adjustability. Additionally, BMR offers its torque arms as standalone upgrades that can work in conjunction with the stock leaf springs. To take a closer look into this interesting alternative to the popular four-link upgrade, and find out how they stack up to the competition, we had Brett Rockey of BMR Suspension dive deep into the technical details of how they work.
OEM-Style Suspension
Leaf springs were standard fare in many muscle cars, and have been around for over a century. Their simplistic design, ease of packaging, and economic advantages make them ideal for a variety of applications. While they have had their place in the automotive industry, that time is almost over. Even light-duty trucks have switched to link-style suspension systems due to the ride quality advantages associated with them. A leaf spring by design is expected to support the weight of the chassis, limit axlewrap, control lateral and braking forces, and maintain a consistent wheelbase under acceleration and braking. Unfortunately, leaf springs perform all of these functions adequately at best. It's just too much to expect out of a single component. Over the years, enthusiasts and racers have tweaked leaf-spring suspensions in an effort to increase handling and traction abilities. High-rate leaf springs combined with adjustable shocks, a sway bar, and a Watt's linkage can work really well on a road course, but it does so at the expense of ride quality. Additionally, the car will still have axlewrap problems and minimal adjustment capabilities.
Torque Arm vs. Traction Bars
One of the biggest drawbacks of a leaf-spring suspension is that it struggles to control axlewrap, which is defined as the counter-rotation of the rearend housing during acceleration or deceleration. As a car accelerates, the front of the rearend tries to move upward of the floorboard, and under braking, it tries to move downward. To counter this, traction bars stiffen up the front of a leaf spring, and are a very popular bolt-on mod for leaf-spring cars. The problem is that this increased stiffness essentially turns the front of the leaf spring into a solid link, compromising handling and ride quality. Traction bars are also visible from the side of a car, which some consider an eyesore. As an alternative, BMR offers a torque arm kit that attaches between the rearend pumpkin and the rear of the front subframe. By controlling pinion rise and axlewrap, the torque arm allows the springs to perform their intended function of supporting the vehicle. Since it's centrally mounted in the chassis, the torque arm allows the rearend to articulate through its arc without any binding. The BMR torque arm is unique in that it provides very similar traction advantages without the ride quality concerns or handling compromises associated with traction bars. This means that it works great on the street, at the dragstrip, or on a road course.

Home Decorating: Cape House in Maine
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
Terry John Woods and Dale West extended their Vermont farmhouse sensibility to Down East Maine to create what they consider "the perfect summer home."
The familiar things have their place here: a well-used table; an old cupboard, scraped and painted, awaiting a new round of memories; a scattering of reclaimed boards, smoothed and finished into something fine. They're connections, these pieces–to family, to past gatherings, to the Vermont dairy farm where these cherished items once graced a generations-old homestead.
Over time, Terry John Woods, an interior designer, had turned that farm, in Shrewsbury, into something spectacular. But then came the call of the sea and, at the same time, decisions about what to do with his growing collections of antiques, furnishings, and folk art. He wanted to keep his year-round home in Vermont while looking for a summer place.
"I buy houses so I can save stuff," Terry says, laughing.
He's kidding–sort of. Truth is, about five years ago, his attention and many summer weeks were being pulled toward the Down East area around Machiasport, where he and his partner, Dale West, a writer and fundraiser, would eventually come to own this three-bedroom Cape atop a hill overlooking the water. It's a different setting, of course, but this 190-year-old house, with its own history and scuffmarks, offered familiar ground for Terry's things.
A quiet coastal town in Maine's Washington County, Machiasport isn't a place you just stumble across. Up you go: four hours northeast of Portland, past Rockland, Bucksport, and Jonesboro, before it comes into focus. The first naval battle of the American Revolution was fought just off its shores, and a century ago, fish and timber brought jobs and wealth here. But that time is long past. It's been a struggle ever since to get those dollars back from a tourist run that often doesn't advance north of Bar Harbor.
But in early 2006, that seclusion attracted Terry and Dale, native Vermonters who loved fixing up old homes and had a passion for undiscovered pockets of New England. "We were doing these little weekend getaways every month," Terry says. "I was online looking at houses, and I found this place for $60,000 in Machiasport. I immediately made an appointment with the real-estate agent and told Dale, 'That's where we're going.'"
They didn't buy that house, but at the end of their stay, they succumbed to the agent's pleading to show them a double-chimney shingled Cape that had just come onto the market. It was airy and light, and through a partial renovation job, the couple could see that the important details of the place–wood floors, plaster walls, wavy-glass windows–had been preserved. Built in the 1820s by a local furniture maker, it also offered a level of craftsmanship that Terry had rarely seen in a Cape.
"The high ceilings are practically unheard of, and the trim is incredible," he explains. "The [trim's] scalloped casing downstairs–that's something you'd see in the White House." There was also the unimpeded view of the Machias River. On the drive home to Shrewsbury, they agreed to buy the place for $110,000. Terry and Dale had found their summer house.

NXT Sumo fighting on a Robotic LEGO DivX Channel
Hi out there,
Jerome, a guy from DivX, has called my attention to No Screwdriver Needed, a Robotic LEGO Channel that contains high-resolution DivX videos on LEGO Sumo battles. He told me that they have an Annual LEGO Sumo Championship in their company (for three years now) and have been recording and broadcasting the event this time.
There's a great video on many NXT bots (and a terrific RCX one) fighting against each other.
Do not miss that!
Absolutely hilarious!

That is SO AWESOME! I've seen video's of sumo matches before, but the hilarious narration made it ten times better than all of those. This video is definitely worth watching again and again...and YAY! An RCX robot made it to finals!
- Feb 2, 2007, 11:43:00 PM
Just be careful. I had to download the divx web program when I clicked on the movie. It made my web browser start acting funny. After I uninstalled it the browser worked like normal.

My browser froze as well; however, after a forced quit and a restart of the browser it's working fine.

My browser also froze once, the second time I was watching the video. But like Rick, after it shut down and I restarted it, there were no problems.

I installed the divx driver on my Mac using Safari, and it worked perfectly, no freezes. Great video! I sent the link to all my Lego team kids and some of the other coaches I know. Now the kids will all be asking how they can enter the sumo contest!

I've been working on getting a sumo competition together for my FLL team, and I think that this would be a great "get the feel for the comp" video. It's funny (shows the fun), displays a variety of robots(fast/slow/RCX/NXT), and it shows a good display of "this is not battle bots" fighting styles (wedges, laying black flaps down, gearing down, using line detection, opponent detection)
I'll defiantly be sending this video out to help them when they have rule's questions.

(Sorry for missing the last two weeks. Been busy and all that.)
Bengals @ Browns INCORRECT
Even though the Bengals folded under my Dolphins last week ( ), the Browns still don't look like they have it together, at all. I feel bad for them, really.
Postgame: Well... I was wrong. I should feel ashamed by this one... But I have no shame. Congratulations Brown's on your first win!
Colts @ Jets INCORRECT
The Colts with Andrew Luck are coming together nicely. I still think Tannehill is a better rookie QB than Luck, but these Colts are playing with a lot of heart ever since their head coach, Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia. The Jets on the other hand are failing apart (and I love watching it) and are en route to a terrible season, and a fired Rex Ryan. It doesn't help that one of their QBs is no better than a backup, and the other is a fullback. I think you can guess which is which.
Postgame: Wrong again here. What is wrong with me this week?! Honestly, who really expected this kind of turnout and that kind of gameplay by the Jets, though? Completely unexpected.
Rams @ Dolphins CORRECT
Albeit the Rams look good (finally) this season, I don't see them beating us. The Dolphins should be 4-1 right now instead of 2-3, but alas, we are not thanks to a **** poor field goal kicker. Either way, our defense is #1 in the league against the run, and the Rams have an abysmal running game. Our corner's are developing nicely and Sam Bradford will have a hard time getting anything going on offense. Now, our offense versus their defense. That is where the challenge will be met. I think we will have a very successful ground game here, but our passing game will lack. And I can almost bet you they will have Cortland Finnegan covering Brian Hartline, so that will make it even tougher. Nothing the 'Fins cannot overcome though, and will. We beat the Bengals, and the referees last week (that was a horribly called game, and was blatant the refs were calling against Miami) and we will head into our bye week 3-3 with a 23-6 win over the Rams.
Postgame: Well, I was right on a couple marks. Hartline was covered all day by Finnegan and he did absolutely nothing, but that did get Marlon Moore open for a touchdown. The Rams run game was decent with Jackson, but not enough. Our ground game was atrocious, thanks to Reggie Bush dancing around, again. That is getting annoying. The game would have been 23-6, had that obvious fumble by the Rams received not been called an incomplete reception. I wish I could find a video of that, it was in the top 5 worst calls this season. We almost lost the game because of it, but our defense held strong and we came away with the win, and are 3-3 going into the bye week. Go Fins!
Raiders @ Falcons CORRECT
Well, this one is a no-brainer. The Raiders are still trying to find their way, while the Falcons remain undefeated, and will continue to into week 7.
Postgame: This one was pretty damn close actually. I am amazed the Raiders nearly took this game, but they messed up giving the Falcons that field goal, with that timeout. Someone needs to beat these Falcons!
Chiefs @ Buccaneers CORRECT
I honestly still do not know much about either team here, so this one is a toss-up, so I am betting on the home team. Atleast one of these teams will walk away with a 2 win record after this.
Postgame: Well, my pick was right. I didn't really watch any of this game.
Lions @ Eagles INCORRECT
All I can say about the Lions, is wow. I don't know what happened between last year and this year, but they are doing really, really terrible. I can't quite figure it out either. On the other hand, the Eagles have looked pretty stellar so far this year, and are a solid team, if Vick could just hold onto the ball and make better throwing decisions. (I think I say that every season.) Eagles are my NFC team so it is nice to see them doing well, and will probably have to fight for this, but will walk away with the win in the end.
Postgame: Man, was this one a nail biter. Sadly, the Eagles lost, but it was a very good game to watch.
Cowboys @ Ravens CORRECT
Another no-brainer. Tony Romo will not hold up against the Ravens defense, after that terrible 5 interception game against the Bears. Cowboys have been on a downhill trend for a long time now (I love it) and it will continue in this game, and probably the rest of the season. The Ravens never look bad it seems. You can expect at least two interceptions in this game from Romo to the Ravens defense.
Postgame: As was discussed in the comments, Romo performed quite well, and I am surprised this game was as close as it was. I was watching the end with my sister-in-law and said "Watch, they will throw to Dez Bryant and he will drop the ball costing the Cowboy's the game." Lo and behold that is exaclty what happened. Anyone could see that coming. She was heartbroken, I laughed, and that was that. Good game, though, all around.
Bills @ Cardinals INCORRECT
*grumble grumble* The only reason the Cardinals lost to the Rams is because they had a short week and the Dolphins wore out their O-line with our 8 sacks, allowing the Rams, 5 days later, to get 9 sacks. Sorry, had to get that out of the way. Been tired of hearing about the Rams and their nine sacks in stopping the once undefeated Cardinals, when the Dolphins set them up for that. (And the Cardinals didn't beat the 'Fins, the Dolphins beat themselves.)
That being said, the Bills are doing their normal Bills' thing, falling apart. They paid Ryan Fitzpatrick a hunk of money last year, and this is usually what happens after a giant contract is signed. The player falls apart, like a curse is upon them. The Cardinals do not look good, but far better than the Bills, in their implosion.
Postgame: I am so ****ed about this one. I did not want the Bills to win. How does a Field Goal kicker smash a 61 yard field goal to tie the game, then miss a 40 some odd yard field goal to cost your team the win? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?!" Thanks Cardinals, the one game I wanted you to win, and you couldn't do it.
Patriots @ Seahawks INCORRECT
I will say this, the Seahawks have a definite chance of winning this game for the sole reason they are playing at home, and as we all know their home stadium is the loudest in the NFL. That usually doesn't phase Tom Brady, but I think it will here. He doesn't travel that well, and this is a long, long flight. Though, I still think the Patriots will walk away with this one, only because the Seahawks offense simply cannot keep up. Marshawn Lynch will have to carry the load, and he simply cannot do it on his own. Sadly, the Patriots will snake away with a win because of that, and because they actually for once have a running game, so Brady won't be so shaken up by the noise.
Postgame: I knew I should have gone with my gut on this game, instead of my head. I am glad the Seahawks won, and man that huge touchdown to Sidney Rice, that was awesome! This has made the AFC East all tied up with every team at 3-3. (Dolphins, Patriots, Bills, Jets) And I for one, thank you, Seahawks!
Vikings @ Redskins INCORRECT
I have got to hand it to the purple machine, they are doing it, and doing it well. I am a C. Ponder fan, (after all, he was pretty stellar in college for my Seminoles ) and he is coming into his own, albeit slowly. Plus, having a healthy Adrian Peterson helps. I am still not buying into the Robert Griffin craze. (Why do we call him RGIII anyway, why not just Robert Griffin, like every other QB.) The Redskins have a pretty poor defensive unit as well, and the Vikings defense is strong. Defense wins championships, and will win the Vikings this game.
Postgame: I didn't watch much of this game, besides the Robert Griffin highlights they like to shove down your throat. Ah well.
Giants @ 49ers CORRECT
Ignoring the fact that this game is going to be in San Fran., Eli Manning has a knack for knocking off big time teams, and is almost always an underdog. I don't know how he does it, but he will do it in this game. This is the NFC Championship rematch game from last year, and Eli, for some reason still plays with that little brother chip on his shoulder, even after two super bowl wins. No matter how good the 49ers are, I just cannot see Manning letting them get away with this game. I am boldly predicting that Eli Manning will pass for 350 to 400 yards in this game.
Postgame: My bold prediction was incorrect, but my game prediction was on the money. The Giants took advantage of the 49ers, and the 49ers looked terrible on offense. Wasn't the best game to watch, as the Giants dominated it most of the time. Great for a Giants fan I suppose, lol.
Packers @ Texans CORRECT
Yes, we all know the Texans are an unstoppable defensive machine, with the fly swatter JJ Watt and Co. But I think their reign as one of the dual undefeated teams will end here. Rodgers is just too good for their defense, even if his play has been subpar lately. The Pack's defense is as good as any in the league, and Rodger's can get outside the pocket rather quickly to avoid sacks and swatted balls. I, for one, will be happy to see the streak end for the Texans.
Postgame: As I said, Rodger's can get outside the pocket, and he did just that. Big mistake on the Texan's defense forcing him outside like that; he shines outside the pocket. Wasn't unexpected though.
Was a hard fought game, through most of the first half, but the Packer's just reigned above the Texan's throughout most of the game, and Rodger's amazing 6 TD passes (tying a franchise record) was fun to watch. The Texans were definitely out of their groove and making costly mistakes. They have another hard game next week against the Raven's, though, it looks like Ray Lewis won't be there, so that is something to look forward to for the Texan's.
Broncos @ Chargers CORRECT
Peyton Manning has been... I guess the word would be, average. Nothing stellar, nothing too horrible. Just playing like an average quarterback. Same goes for Philip Rivers of the Chargers. Odd game for Monday Night Football, and very lackluster if you ask me. (Giants v. 49ers would have been more interesting.) Honestly, both teams are evenly matched I'd say. So it is kind of a toss up, so I am putting my bet on the team I know more about.
Postgame: Wow! What a comeback. Manning, the comeback prince (soon to be king) has done it again. Sadly, for me, that ties him with Marino's comeback record of 47 games in the 4th quarter. The game started out as a ridiculous circus with bad calls all around, but worked itself out in the end to a great game. Rivers made some horrible decisions in the end, that cost them the game. And the fumbles didn't help.
Stick around after the games for a post-game wrap up! (So long as the Dolphins don't have another heart wrenching overtime loss that makes me retreat to my cave and scare my cat by yelling obscenities at the wall. )

His characters and stories had as much as depth as tin foil, he used the same four plots over and over, and his characters never left their artificial bubble of the 1920s. Yet, other than Pterry perhaps, there's no other writer, English or otherwise, who could consistently raise the most cliched and dog-eared plot point into euphoria with one of his crystalline perfect phrases or lines of dialogue.
Well said raisindot. I like his sense of humour and his piss-taking of the well-to-do. Most of all, like you said, it's his use of words and phrases that keeps me reading & re-reading. He's a master wordsmith. It was from reading blurb's on DW books, such as, 'Pratchett is a modern day Wodehouse', that got me wondering who this Wodehouse was. I'm glad I found out.
Happy reading

Prior to submission, please carefully read and follow the submission guidelines detailed below. Manuscripts that do not conform to the submission guidelines may be returned without review.
Families, Systems, & Health seeks to develop the knowledge base of a systemic approach to healthcare that integrates mind and body; individual and family; and communities, clinicians, and health systems while considering cost-effectiveness and distributive justice.
The journal's scope includes the following three domains:
- Family Functioning: emphasizes understanding health, illness, and treatment from birth to death within the family context rather than focusing on individuals in isolation. The term "family" is used broadly to include but not be limited to the legal, biological, or psychological family, household members unrelated by blood or marriage, and intimates who have a relationship over time.
- Systems Thinking: an overarching concept that recognizes the interrelatedness of all human systems (e.g., biological, psychological, interpersonal, familial, societal, political, economic, cultural, spiritual). This perspective is useful in examining dynamics within a profession or among clinical staff, relationships among patients, families, communities, and clinical staff, and the coordination of care across levels of the health system.
- Health:refers to the optimal state of the body, mind, and spirit of individuals, families, or communities. Healthcare includes the practice of all health professionals, including physicians, mental health professionals, nurses, pharmacists, and many other disciplines.
The journal provides a forum to examine clinical and program innovation, health policy, research, and evaluation of training. Families, Systems, & Health is the official peer-reviewed journal of the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association.
Manuscript Submission
Prior to submission, please review the submission guidelines detailed below. Please view the Manuscript Submission Checklist (PDF, 40KB) as a guide for submission. Authors must review all items on this checklist before submitting to the journal.
All manuscripts are considered on the understanding that they have not been published previously in print or electronic form and that they are not under consideration by another publication or medium. All manuscripts should respect patient confidentiality; research involving human subjects must include ethical approval.
Submit manuscripts electronically (.rtf, .doc, or .pdf) via the Manuscript Submission Portal.

Co-Editors, Families, Systems, & Health
General correspondence and inquiries may be directed to the Manuscript Coordinator, Amanda Conley.
Authors may obtain a user ID and password on the first visit. Instructions and support for the submission process are available on the site.
All parts of the manuscript must be available in an electronic format; generic rich text format (.rtf), PDF, or Microsoft Word.
Manuscript Preparation
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see Chapter 3 of the Publication Manual).
Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.
Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual.
When required, structured abstracts should follow the Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion (IMRAD) format.
Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations, computer code, and tables.
Display Equations
We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.
To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:
- Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
- Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.
If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.
Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.
Computer Code
Because altering computer code in any way (e.g., indents, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks) during the typesetting process could alter its meaning, we treat computer code differently from the rest of your article in our production process. To that end, we request separate files for computer code.
In Online Supplemental Material
We request that runnable source code be included as supplemental material to the article. For more information, visit Supplementing Your Article With Online Material.
In the Text of the Article
If you would like to include code in the text of your published manuscript, please submit a separate file with your code exactly as you want it to appear, using Courier New font with a type size of 8 points. We will make an image of each segment of code in your article that exceeds 40 characters in length. (Shorter snippets of code that appear in text will be typeset in Courier New and run in with the rest of the text.) If an appendix contains a mix of code and explanatory text, please submit a file that contains the entire appendix, with the code keyed in 8-point Courier New.
Use Word's Insert Table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.
If your manuscript was mask reviewed, please ensure that the final version for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.
Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.
References in Text
Cite authors and dates of works used. First citation may include up to five authors; in subsequent citations of 3+ authors, state surname of first author, then et al. and the publication date, e.g., Jones et al. (1994). Multiple citations must be listed in alphabetical order.
Manuscript Criteria
All manuscripts should be concise, well organized, and clearly written using active voice to present ideas relevant to the Journal's scope: family functioning, systems thinking, and health, broadly defined. Manuscripts should address at least two of these three domains.
We welcome contributions from authors whose first language is not English and recommend that authors obtain professional assistance in written English prior to submission to ensure clarity, grammar, syntax, and organization.
Editorial and Peer-Review Process
One of the two editors reviews submitted manuscripts to assess quality and determine fit for the Journal. Articles sent out for peer review show potential to make a new and useful contribution to the literature.
Families, Systems, & Health uses a single-blinded review process; the author(s) is known to peer reviewers; peer reviewer identities are blinded to the author(s).
All accepted manuscripts are edited according to the journal's style and returned to the author as page proofs for approval. Authors take responsibility for all statements made in their work.

Ethical Principles
It is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).
In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14).
APA expects authors to adhere to these standards. Specifically, APA expects authors to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.
Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.

Bluebirds' trophy clash postponed
Last updated at 10:41, Sunday, 13 January 2013
BARROW AFC'S FA Trophy tie at Gateshead has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
Match officials made the call at 1pm, after sleet and snow showers in the North East meant the pitch was unplayable. An inspection at 4p on Friday had deemed the pitch playable, but the intervening 21 hours saw it become unplayable.
The only match the Heed have been able to stage at their International Stadium home in more than a month was their 1-0 New Year's Day Blue Square Bet Premier defeat to Barrow. In total, six matches of their last seven have been postponed due to waterlogged pitches.
The surface at the International Stadium was relaid in the summer to make it laser level and the plan had been for more work after the FA Trophy tie with the Bluebirds.
Gateshead say the third round tie has been rescheduled for Tuesday night.

There are rare Corvettes, and then there are rare Corvettes. While owning one of the only 289 '77 Stingrays equipped with the factory-installed ZN1 trailer package could be considered rare, it's not, in all honesty, considered a really desirable Vette. Big-block, LS6-wielding C3s and 427-equipped midyears draw in the crowds as much as the first-generation, fuel-injected roadsters, but when it comes to collectors climbing over each other to get their hands on a Corvette, nothing surpasses the performance zeitgeist of the race-prepped, number-coded, Z06-optioned, '63 split-window Sting Ray.
Not only were these cars the first year of the wickedly attractive second-generation redesign, they were the only year for the style-over-function split rear window, and they were the first year the Z06 option was ever attached to a Corvette.
It would be nearly 40 years later that the moniker would be resurrected. Named after the striking lineup of blue-and-white louvered and gilled race cars that stormed Daytona and Sebring in 1963, the civilian version of the Z06 included the best handling and braking equipment GM had to offer, while requiring one of the fiercest powertrains the Corvette would have at its disposal.
Take into account that 21,513 '63 Corvettes were produced that year-10,594 of them brandishing the signature split-window roofline-and considering that only 14,531 Vettes were sold the previous year, that makes for one outstanding sales leap. Yet, of those 21,000-plus Corvettes built, only a miserly 199 came loaded with the Z06 RPO package- less than one percent (.925) of the total production count. Created to market a turnkey race car to the public, the Z06 option required the purchase of the 360hp, fuel-injected L84 327 engine, four-speed transmission, and the posi-traction rearend.
Once properly equipped, checking the box for the Z06 option included a unique dual-circuit, power-brakes system with sintered metallic linings (far larger than the standard metallic linings), vented backing plates, scoops to cool the front brakes, larger finned brake drums that featured cooling fans, and self adjusters that functioned going forward rather than reversing. The suspension modifications read nearly the same way, using a heavy-duty rear transverse spring (seven leaves rather than the stock nine), heavy-duty front springs, a heavy-duty front stabilizer, and specially calibrated shock absorbers.
Interestingly, the Z06 abounds with conflicting data. While it is commonly observed that the Z06 option included the installation of a 36-gallon fuel tank that consumed most of the area behind the seats, of the 199 built, only 63 are reported to have received the larger tank. The remaining 136 Z06's were ushered off the assembly line with the stock reservoir. In addition, it was once considered an unalterable fact that only coupes were allowed the option, but that was only towards the beginning of the production year. Convertibles would be offered the option, though final numbers of exactly how many droptop Z06s are hard to come by.
