NXT 2.0 Expectations
So, here are some questions for discussion/thought/debate - keep it clean, polite, and on-topic, please.
1. The NXT 2.0 kit is coming - what are your thoughts on the kit? (See earlier post here and here for details that are publicly available.)
2. If you're an NXT 1.0 owner, do you plan on purchasing 2.0? If not, any particular reason?
3. Is there anything you're looking forward to with 2.0?
4. Any concerns or gripes with 2.0 (or with 1.0 that might or might not carry over to 2.0)?
31 comments:
With very little information released to the public about what improved over V1.1 where is the incentive to lay out $$$'s to be the guinea pig when upgrading?
Yes, datalogging has been added, but that is targeted at a very specific market. What about the general bugginess (sp?) of the API. How much of that has gone away? Does it still leak memory?
It seems to me that there should be some type of formal release statement from Lego that defines what changed, improved, etc etc. versus V1.1.
- Feb 12, 2009, 5:11:00 AM
I have 2 nxts and dont plan on another one intil a new model (2018?). I feel it is more difficult to have 2 nxts connect to a computer than to have one with say sensor mutiplier or pf motors. Im mean, why add another nxt? Because you need more motor and sensor ports. I didnt buy the old rcx kit when it was 1.1 either.

I am hoping for an upgrade kit to get NXT-G 2.0 and the new color sensor along with any new useful parts. Otherwise, NXT 1.0 is plenty for me- i might even go for a second while they're around
- Feb 12, 2009, 5:45:00 AM
I am planing on buying a NXT kit. So far, only the NXT-G 2.0 software would be the only reason for me to wait for the 2.0 kit. But this might be not before another 6 month, right? Other than that, i dont see much difference, why to call the whole package NXT 2.0 with only the software and one lousy sensor changed.
Lego official statement missing indeed.
- Feb 12, 2009, 5:49:00 AM
I agree with William.
Want to buy the sensor (and maybe the other unique pieces added to the kit, though I already have treads). So a NXT upgrade package would be a welcome product. Though it WOULD be fun to have two NXT bricks. :)
- Feb 12, 2009, 6:09:00 AM
To be honest, I like the new NXT.
Most people are grumbling, saying "It's 1.5, not 2.0! Where's the 5 gig memory, 5 motor ports, mp3 speakers and 20 sensor ports? Huh? Lego? Are you mad?"
Only joking, but that's what it sounds a bit like. This is in the same vein as the RCX sets: same old basic hardware, but with altered sensors and different parts.
I only have 1 NXT, and will hopefully get this one for the zamor sphere gun, another NXT, colour sensor, and more pieces!
Also, the software will be different from NXT-G 2.0. That was for Lego Education, so whilst it will probably have some of those features, it probably won't have the data-logging function. It does, however, have a remote control :-)
- Feb 12, 2009, 7:05:00 AM
i am going to be buying nxt 1.1 when the new version comes out because the price will be dropping alot.
- Feb 12, 2009, 7:52:00 AM
I will try to stay focused with Jim's 4 points (in that order):
1. It has been nearly two years. It is time for a new version. I am glad they did not throw away the old NXT - I am very happy with it - why change something that is so good? There is nothing comes close to it from Vex / Meccano / Wowwee and other suppliers in this price range.
2. I own Version 1 - but it is tattered and old with two years of abuse. I am planning on purchasing it assuming the price stays below $300 US.
3. From what I read so far, the main reasons for my purchase would be to do with the software enhancements (BlueTooth remote for Windows, NXT-G bug fixes (hoping), ammunition (Zamor balls and shooters), and the new cool color sensor.
4. All the NXT 2 models I seen so far in Brickset and NXTStep are lacking in gears. For example I did not see turntables, worm gears or the 40 teeth gears in the models - though it is possible they are well hidden. It will be good if one of you who have been to Toy fairs or member of MCP can confirm my observation.
- Feb 12, 2009, 8:53:00 AM
I think the 2.0 should be able to have somthing in the program that lets you type what ever you want in the sound block.
Also, it needs more memory.
PS. I want one but I wish NXTs were not so expensive.
- Feb 12, 2009, 8:59:00 AM
I would get a nxt 2.0- only if I had enough money! I was hoping for at least a extra motor port.I like the new version of nxt-g, but I'm not that good at programming.I already have a lot of pieces, I just don't have a lot of electronics- only 3 motors, the 4 basic sensors, a pf-medium motor, and a pf battery box.If I can save enough money, I would hope by then the prices would drop.

i think lego should go with keeping to their word of 'doing to robotics what the ipod did for mp3 players' ..colors at the same pricepoint would be amazing. I've got a bunch of 1.0's already, and i'll probably get this one as well, just for the new software and extra parts. I'm expecting there wont be much change in the hardware, but the new packaging should be enough to get new people in!
- Feb 12, 2009, 11:26:00 AM
I'll need to see more info before deciding. But I do hope they fix AND document NXT-G 2.0.
I once read that the original plan was to be able to toggle back and forth between NXT-G and LabVIEW. I'd love to see that plan implemented.
- Feb 12, 2009, 12:03:00 PM
For what they're worth, here are the thoughts of an anonymous reader:
1. It looks very similar to the NXT 1.0, to be honest.
2. I would like to buy it but I still get a lot of use out of my NXT 1.0 so I may have to put it off until I feel the need for an upgrade.
3. I'm mostly looking forward to being able to buy new first party sensors separately.
4. I'm concerned that they could achieve the same end result with a firmware and software upgrade. The new kit mainly offers more out-of-the-box gadgets.

There are so many books on the market base on the 8527,If LEGO can sell upgrade sets for 8527 user,and some pasts that 8527 have but 8547 don't have,then both are the same parts base,all books can be used,and can have 2nd edition for these books to the new feature.
- Feb 12, 2009, 5:11:00 PM
1. I think, in the Fincance-Crisis is a new NXT set with only a new colour-sensor not very good. With more updates, it would be better.
2. No, i didn't would buy a NXT 2.0, while: They are not enough updates.
3. No. Software not, while i will go to a other programming language.
Hardware not while: Look above
4. Sorry, i couldn't understand this qouestion.

I have a NXT, and was planning to buy a second, but will now wait until v2.0 comes out.
I like the data-logging, color sensor, like the new "Alpha-Rex".
I would like to see more memory on the NXT, and don't see why the don't put it on. Also making it kind of an mp3 player as well would go a long way, but not a big deal for me.
I have an overall disappointment with LEGO, but try to remember they're not a "Robot" company, just a building toy mfg. However a formal annoucment would have been nice - again, don't see why they just don't do these really basic things.
So, waiting until v2.0 to buy a second unit because I want the most for my money. If the price of v2.0 is more than $10-$20 more than the current set, I will not get it - defintely not worth it.

I have NXT 1.0, and with the expensive price and the minor changes, I don't think it would be a good choice to buy NXT 2.0.
- Feb 13, 2009, 1:58:00 AM
- Eric D. Burdo said...
Yes, I do plan on buying one. Just not sure when.
Why? Easy. I have a set of educational curriculum in the works, and I want to make sure I can build everything from either kit. Have separate kits lets me test that easily.
The 4 questions:
1) I'd like to see a detailed list of a) what's included and b) what's different.
2) Yes, see above.
3) Color sensor, and tracks.
4) I'd like to see some expansion of hardware. I'd LOVE to be able to run the .NET Micro framework on the NXT. That would require more memory.
- Feb 13, 2009, 1:58:00 AM
Will probably pass on nxt 2. Doesn't really matter if you call it version 1.5 or 2.0, it just doesn't have that much new stuff.
I've been hoping to see at least one alternate motor to the original with a different form factor. Maybe more like the PF motors, but with encoders.
Will also want to see how the color sensor is different from the existing Hitechnic sensor. The idea of a color sensor isn't new, it will just have the LEGO logo on it.
Wouldn't really want the base brick to add more expansion, but having an officially sanctioned expansion architecture for more input/output ports and power would have been great.
- Feb 13, 2009, 6:45:00 AM
1) Nice Modells
2) Yes
3) Compatability to Lego Technic, especially PF-Motors and battery box
- Feb 13, 2009, 8:02:00 AM
I hope that NXT-G 2.0 has fixed the 1.0 bugs. For example, in 1.0, myblocks are added to the main code when compiled and sent to the NXT. Sometimes it sends incorrect files. This also prevents the user from simply downloading an upgraded myblock to correct a program. Also, NXT-G 2.0 doesn't have all the power of the NXT unlocked, such as an official sine/cosine block, or control over non-printable characters in text files generated by our programs. (Which is how LEGO intended for us to datalog. This way, we can "not only create datalogs, but read them as well.")
New sensors, a second NXT, and more parts also sounds like a new idea. (I managed to get my mom to sort what LEGOs I have, and they should be sorted soon...either I put them away in the right place, or my mom has another reason not to try to sort my LEGOs :) )
I probably won't be able to afford this for years, though. Remind me how long it took me to get my first NXT... (and RCX... and spybot... and...what were we posting about...)
I may abbreviate NickNackGus to NNG

it's a nice repackaging, glad to see orange technic parts and more models for the newbie - i'm sure the color sensor is same as HiTechnic (prob made a deal with LEGO). From the looks of it the NXT2 seem identical (maybe it has updated firmware but then we should be able to apply that on the NXT1) I AM VERY HAPPY the NXT has not changed ! that would had been a big mistake, To many school have invested in it and many resource are now available -- a major change would had been a marketing faux-pas. A retail repackage however is a welcomed move.
What would be really cool and necessary is some kind of plug-in module to increase memory or read SD cards -- How can it be compared to the ipod and not even have a gig,,, today's kids expect more multimedia and we know that consumes mbytes -- i have the color sensor, i wanted to make a program that said all 17 colors it can see.... so i created the rso for the missing color (pink, pale green etc.. ) to then find ot it was impossible to have them all in the NXT for lack of memory.
SW wise,, the remote is cool BUT more important is will BLUETOOTH and other features work flawlessly in VISTA, MAC Leopard and soon to come Windows7 ? that is what matter most I'd say.
will i buy one? maybe
do i want one? YESSS please
Play Well, Stay Gold

I already own the retail NXT 1.0 and also had the opportunity to experiment with the educational NXT-G 2.0 since December 08. For the latter, first impression is quite positive, but I will not go into details so to stay in topic.
Honestly, I was not expecting much from the new NXT release. Just a "facelift" (btw, I'm not sure if I really like the look of the new Alpha Rex, or the box cover artwork with the blue background, but this is minor). However, it seems that what finally comes with NXT 2.0 is beyond my (reasonable) range of expectations .
In my opinion at the time NXT 2.0 will be available (August?), for someone that already owns the previous release and need to add another complete NXT set (brick/motors/sensors) in his collection, there is no reason to continue to invest on NXT 1.0. And I'm saying no reason because I don't expect that NXT 1.0 price will significally drop (as happened for the NXT-G software).
It is exactly like the rest LEGO set. For example, most (...I believe) owners of Power Functions will continue to buy new Technic sets with PFs just because they want to add more cool LEGO sets in their LEGO vault and because more pieces …more alternatives and opportunities.
I will definitely invest on NXT 2.0!
- Feb 13, 2009, 9:07:00 PM
I do have an NXT V 1.0 but I'm kinda a noob. I plan on purchasing a V 2.0 when it comes out in August. Since I'm such a novice I have a couple of questions:
1.Will the NXT 2.0 also contain the NXT-G 2.0?
2.Can NXTs connect by bluetooth even without a bluetooth doggle? (I think that's what its called)

I have found that the greatest constraints that the NXT brick imposes is the number of motors and sensors.
Expanding to 6 motors would help somewhat, but that is still rather restrictive.
The touch sensor multiplexer from hitechnic enables one to plug 4 touch sensors into a single port. This is helpful. However, specialized ports for binary sensors and actuators, such as mechanical relays, should be more plentiful and come with the NXT rather than as expensive add-ons.
I will buy one or two NXT 2.0 units for my lab, although I am quickly finding that for someone with experience in electronics and microcontroller programming, in the long run it is easier to design your own circuitry for ambitious projects.
Clearly, if you are happy with the limitations that the NXT imposes, then this may be a welcome development. Although, considering the cost of the circuitry enclosed in the brick, the $400 cost is overkill. I think LEGO would do better by making these things less expensive and making their software upgrades free!

An opinions from a more casual user. I am a software engineer; got the NXT for my son (11) and daughter (7). Programming is way too hard for them.
The three features I want to see are:
1) A large library of MyBlock routines,
2) Better battery life or and/or a DC input, and
3) A few more "smart" blocks that work in the area of being able to control the motors (or others, but hey, it's the motors, right :-) that simplify programming.
The NXT is probably the single most undersold "toy" I can imagine. When we have even simple things working, my kids get all the joy of construction, mechanics and creativity I got from Legos in the 1960's when I grew up, with a wonderful (almost) accessible programming interface.
Actually, my biggest wish for NXT 2.0 is great marketing!

I think I would definitely purchase an upgrade kit from 1.0 to 2.0, comprising the new parts and the new NXT-G version (which I understand is not the same as the 2.0 version in Lego Education, which is for Data Logging).
But there is not yet enough information on what are the new parts, for example I do not care much for the "cosmetic" parts, but I would like to see what are the new "building" parts. And MOST DEFINITELY would like to see what improvements the new NXT-G has and what new documentation will be available on it.
To be honest the 2.0 kit seems to be a bit underwhelming. The color sensor has been around for a long time. Is not an amazing advantage like bundling an EPOD or gyro or compass sensor would have been. I own already threads/tacks (the plastic ones from legoeducation.com). The other parts are probably available from Technic sets (except the cosmetic covers which I do not care much for).
That really leaves the new NXT-G as the main attraction to me, again based on the information that is available in the public domain.
I guess what Lego did is try to repackage and relaunch the NXT from a marketing perspective, make it more attractive to the general public, reach new market segments, while keeping product development expenses at a minimum. Something like a "mid-life upgrade". But not introduce a radically new technology.
So my conclusion is that this kit is not really targeted to the people like us who spend the time to post at the NXT STEP Blog but rather to a more ample audience who might not even be aware of the existence of the NXT robotics kit .
I guess the real benefit we (as "hardcore NXT fans") could get, is that more marketing means more awareness, which means more sales (hopefully), which means more fans, which might convince The Lego Group to place more product focus in this extraordinary NXT thing, that could lead eventually to a REALLY and RADICALLY new NXT 3.0.
I apologize to Jim I did not respond in order and to all readers for the length of this post.

Well, my two cents from someone who has two RCX's, bought an NXT 1.0, and shamefully still didn't open it...
1. Like previous comments expressed, it appears to be more like "NXT 1.5" than "NXT 2.0". Personally, I'd apply "2.0" to an improved version of the pBrick itself.
The colour sensor doesn't seem to be the one from HiTechnic, but rather a new one. I think I read somewhere that, unlike HiTechnic's, it can also detect light intensity and not just colour. If so, it's a worthwhile replacement for the standard light sensor.
Newer software and a new sensor, by themselves, won't appeal much to those who already have 1.0 and other parts: for those cases, an upgrade, like the 3803, would be preferable. Of course, there may be more novelties than meets the eye, besides just panels.
2. I don't plan on purchasing the 2.0, since it doesn't appear to bring enough innovations to be worth the buy. When/if I need a colour sensor or another pBrick, I'm pretty sure it'll be cheaper to buy them individually.
3. I hope this version, like Control Center 1 to 2, brings the option to use AC power: either through the already available battery (or a slimmer one), or through a new, cheaper adapter, which directly connects the AC adapter's output to the NXT's battery terminals (with some conversion in-between, of course).
I don't care much about the software, since, as someone more used to textual programming than NXT-G or LabVIEW, there are other alternatives available.
4. My main gripe is the same as on the previous point: the NXT kit doesn't come with a way of receiving AC power.
Also, like was said before, 3 outputs and 4 inputs aren't much. But, since the NXT is supposed to able to run on 6 AA batteries, not much more current could be drawn without their lifetime be vestigial. I think this should be left to the NXT's successor, which should be powered, instead of batteries, from a large, maybe located outside the pBrick for size reasons, rechargeable battery.

Unless there are major changes to the NXT-G Software and more than just the new color sensor, I won't buy it. I am an NXT 1.0 owner and, well, I don't see using $200-300 on what seems like just more Technic parts and a couple of other things.

What: Dealnews has compiled the top 12 things that will become pricier in 2013.
What They Say: Thanks to mature technologies, a lack of innovation, higher prices for precious metals, added features, and a drought, 2013 looks like it will be just a little more costly.
What We Say: Of course, we're not endorsing panic-buying here, folks, but it doesn't hurt to plan around these possible 2013 price increases. For instance, one of the things mentioned in the list are increased shipping costs. Does that mean the death of free shipping as we know it? Hardly, but that would also mean we would have to look at a few savings strategies, such as consolidating items to purchase in one shop, or group-buying in bulk with friends to save on shipping costs.
It also goes without saying that there will be other items that will get cheaper by next year. But for the meantime, take a look at these 12 items which 2013 price increases are predicted for.

I have mixed feelings about this. I played this game since the origional beta, and logged 7 years total, and right now have 8 lvl 90, with full raid gear. I cannot now, bring myself to re-sub my subscription, and everyone I have played with has quit also. I cannot wait for the next big mmo from blizzard though.
Right there with you. Will be bitter sweet when its gone. No more temptation, but it was once a great, challenging game.

By SHEA STASKOWSKI
The final bond issue bids for the Starkville School District have been accepted.
During a special called meeting Tuesday night, the Board of Trustees bid out the final three projects of the bond issue.
"We had bid openings for the toilet renovations and also the foundation repairs and the paving program," Assistant Supt. Walter Gonsoulin said.
Supt. Judy Couey added that the reason for the special called meeting is for the paving bid as asphalt prices are libel to change between now and the next regularly scheduled board meeting, so she wanted the board to go ahead and lock in the price quoted.
West Brothers Construction Company submitted a low bid of $997,800 for the renovation of restrooms and another low bid of $511,747 for the paving of the Millsaps parking lot.
Before the projects were bid out, the district projected a cost of $1.5 million for the bathroom renovations.
The West Brothers' bid not only came in under the project cost, but they were also able to include renovations to all the restrooms of the schools in the district, including Millsaps. West Brothers also came in more than $188,000 under the projected bid for the paving project.
Ralph McKnight and Sons submitted a low bid of $113,179 for foundation repairs at Starkville High School.
All three bids were accepted.

It is an imprecisely defined term generally understood to be a substance with properties similar to beeswax, namely
Waxes may be natural secretions of plants or animals, artificially produced by purification from natural petroleum or completely synthetic. In addition to beeswax, carnauba (a plant epicuticular wax) and paraffin (a petroleum wax) are commonly encountered waxes which occur naturally. Earwax is an oily substance found in the human ear. Some artificial materials such as silicone wax that exhibit similar properties are also described as wax or waxy.
Waxes are used to impregnate and coat paper and card, to waterproof it or make it resistant to staining, or to modify its surface properties. Waxes are also used in wax polishes for furniture and other wood products, footwear and vehicles, as mold release agents in mold making, as a coating for Edam and Gouda cheeses, and to waterproof leather and fabric. Wax has been used since antiquity as a temporary, removable model in lost-wax casting of gold, silver and other materials. Waxes and hard fats such as tallow have long been use to make candles, used for lighting and decoration in a number of religious traditions, including Christianity and Hinduism. Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights which centers on the lighting of candles, dates back to 165 BC. There are several Biblical references to candles, and the Emperor Constantine is reported to have called for the use of candles during an Easter service in the 4th century AD. Candles continue to be used to by Christians in worship as symbols of the light of Christ. In the Roman Catholic Church, beeswax candles are used, since a colony of bees is a celibate sisterhood with a single mother. Candles have also played a role in paganism, in Wiccan ceremonies, and in modern humanist festivals. Wax candles were also used in secular life for lighting, signals in warfare, safety in travel and for time keeping, and are still in popular use today to provide soft lighting for meals and other social activities. Wax with colored pigments added has been used as a medium in encaustic painting, and is used today in the manufacture of crayons and colored pencils. Carbon paper, used for making duplicate typewritten documents was coated with carbon black suspended in wax, typically montan wax, but has largely been superseded by photocopiers and computer printers. In another context, lipstick and mascara are blends of various fats and waxes colored with pigments, and both beeswax and lanolin are used in other cosmetics. Also, the sports of surfing, skiing, snowboarding and skateboarding often use wax to enhance the performance.

Company Snapshot
"The goal of your hospital is to take care of people. Our goal is to take care of your hospital." That is the guiding philosophy behind TECSAÚDE, Brazil's leading clinical engineering outsourcing company. Clinical engineering is the subset of biomedical engineering focused on hospital equipment management. Regular maintenance and troubleshooting are essential to maintain the quality and lifetime of a piece of medical equipment, but the majority of hospitals in Brazil cannot afford to train and hire an in-house team of technicians and engineers. Faced with limited external options, hospitals often end up with devices out of commission for up to 10 days at a time. With a database of over 500 defined preventative maintenance procedures and 160 technicians and engineers on-site at the hospitals, TECSAÚDE is able to deliver a quick and efficient clinical engineering solution at a cost that is 40% less than the in-house alternative. Today, the company services over 7,000 devices each month.

"We are very excited about the extraordinary capabilities available with ROBOT-Rx," says Lyle Matthews, PharmD, MAM, Director, Pharmacy Services, Eisenhower Medical Center. "ROBOTRx's barcode technology offers state-of-the-art accuracy by confirming every dose dispensed through computerized scanning functions. Eisenhower is on the leading edge of medication safety and is using virtually every available technology to verify medication accuracy both at the time of dispensing and at bedside." Eisenhower pharmacy staff performs regular checks of the robot's accuracy. The use of the robot also allows pharmacists to spend more time examining potential adverse drug interactions and consulting on the most effective drug therapy for each patient.
[PHOTO dir="assets/news/story/rxrobot2.jpg" align="Left" caption="Eisenhower Medical Center McKesson ROBOT-Rx" width="350"]With the implementation of ROBOT-Rx, Eisenhower now has additional safety checks in the medication dispensing administration process. The technology uses a robotic arm to pull packaged medications off pre-mapped pegs within the robot. Suction cups on the end of the robotic arm collect the packages. The robotic arm then transports the medications and drops them through a chute into an envelope bearing the name of the patient for whom they are intended. The envelope is then delivered to the nursing unit. Not only are the medications barcode scanned and verified to be accurate while dispensing in the Pharmacy, but also the nurses use additional barcode technology when administering the drugs to the patient, ensuring the correct patient is receiving the correct medications.
The implementation of ROBOT-Rx is another powerful example of the value of advances in medical technology and Eisenhower Medical Center's commitment to safety and the very best patient care.

A poll released Wednesday of nearly 150,000 people around the world says seven of the world's 10 countries with the most upbeat attitudes are in Latin America.
Many of the seven do poorly in traditional measures of well-being, like Guatemala, a country torn by decades of civil war followed by waves of gang-driven criminality that give it one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Guatemala sits just above Iraq on the United Nations' Human Development Index, a composite of life expectancy, education and per capita income. But it ranks seventh in positive emotions.
"In Guatemala, it's a culture of friendly people who are always smiling," said Luz Castillo, a 30-year-old surfing instructor. "Despite all the problems that we're facing, we're surrounded by natural beauty that lets us get away from it all."
Gallup Inc. asked about 1,000 people in each of 148 countries last year if they were well-rested, had been treated with respect, smiled or laughed a lot, learned or did something interesting and felt feelings of enjoyment.
In Panama and Paraguay, 85 percent of those polled said yes to all five, putting those countries at the top of the list. They were followed closely by El Salvador, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Guatemala, the Philippines, Ecuador and Costa Rica.

Don't fuss or fiddle with your phone and say goodbye to uncomfortable headsets and earpieces. Most importantly, stay focused on safe driving. Many state laws require you to use a hands-free device if you are driving behind the wheel, and with good reason. The perfect way to stay safe and still carry conversations in the car is with the use of a hands-free device. Get the convenience of both with the CDE-HD138BT! This unit is equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology so there is no need for any additional adapters.
This unit comes with all that's needed for Bluetooth convenience. The CDE-HD138BT comes with a tuned microphone that's engineered to reduce noise interference and feedback. This allows optimal placement in your car, for the best possible sound quality.
Now, make and take phone calls conveniently. You can set up your cell phone/head unit to automatically answer your calls. Use the supplied microphone to speak, and then listen through your car's speakers. When a call comes in, your music mutes to carry the phone call. View caller information including caller ID, missed, dialed, and received calls right from the head unit display. If you receive a second call, you can have the first caller wait momentarily by pressing 2 for call waiting mode. Once both calls are finished, the music plays again. This truly makes the transition from your phone calls to music an enjoyable, convenient driving experience. You can even use the preset buttons on the CDE-HD138BT to quickly jump through your phone book, or set presets with your favorite callers to navigate to your contacts much faster.
To bring sound balance to your Hands-Free experience, you can adjust the CDE-HD138BT's mic gain, phone output and ring tone volume. If that's not enough, there are 5 sound quality settings to choose from to get the balance just right for you. This flexibility will make your phone calls a pleasurable experience.
Do you have a large music library on your phone? The CDE-HD138BT can stream A2DP and AVRCP music. Not only can it control and stream your music through Bluetooth, it can process your music using its built-in DSP Sound Expansion to ensure you get the best sound you deserve.
Expecting an important text message? The CDE-HD138BT can give you a notification on the display with a blinking mail icon indicator for 30 seconds while receiving a text message. The mail icon indicator will remain on if there is an unread message on a connected mobile phone.
*Depending on the mobile phone, this function may not be available.
If your car has factory Bluetooth steering wheel controls, then it will also control your new CDE-HD138BT's built-in Bluetooth. Or, control your head unit right from your factory installed steering wheel controls by adding a third party adapter. Use popular brand names such as Soundgate or PAC to add this feature.
Improve Bluetooth® compatibility with your Apple iOS 6.0 (or later) smartphone and enable audio streaming control with song information display. Download the latest software here.
With a dedicated USB input and USB cable, you can even connect USB memory devices like thumbdrives. Song lists on USB devices are displayed in alphabetical order, and allows eight levels of file / folder search capabilities. This unit will find music files while ignoring other file types on the USB device.
Note: MP3 device or cell phone can only be independently controlled through the head unit when using the USB connection, not with the AUX connection.
The CDE-HD138BT makes all of your music sound great with its extensive tuning capabilities. Choose from a 5 band parametric or 7 band graphic equalizer, to get the best from your sound system. Alpine's exclusive Media XPander Pro is engineered to bring out the musical details lost in compressed media, and it is adjustable per source to get the most out of your media.
With Alpine, expect the premium sound your ears deserve. This head unit allows you to customize your crossover adjustments so you can control where you send high and low frequencies, so you get the best sound out of your factory or upgraded system. Of course for a true power upgrade just add-on the KTP-445 Power Pack to instantly increase your head unit's power to a true 45Wx4 RMS, now we-re talking about some serious sound!
The CDE-HD138BT comes equipped with 3 pairs of 4 Volt RCA pre-amp outputs, – ideal for adding more power and clarity from your amplifiers to speakers and subwoofers. 4 Volt outputs also provide the lowest noise floor for the discriminating sound enthusiast.
Get all the music and programming you want to hear in a crystal-clear digital format. FM stations with CD-quality sound and AM stations with FM-quality sound, with virtually no distortion. Extend your music choice further with multi-casting capability HD1, HD2, and HD3 and you'll hear more talk and more music content from the stations you already receive.
Traditional HD Radio equipped tuners will use an auto-switching method when listening to the main & multi-casting channels. It works really well on the main channels, however when listening to a sub-channel, you will be switched back to the main channel if the digital signal is temporarily lost. This interruption can be a frustrating experience to stay engaged on a particular multi-casting channel if the digital signal is weak. Alpine's solution provides Smart Reception Control through the default setting "Digital MC". The Digital MC setting uses a Hybrid method of auto-switching analog and digital on the main channel, and uses all-digital for sub-channels. Alpine's solution keeps you on the channel you desire, resulting in a better overall HD Radio experience.
The CDE-HD138BT is enabled for iTunes Tagging and when you hear a song you like, simply press the on-screen [Tag] button that is displayed below the song information. This iTunes Tagging feature lets you Tag songs you hear on HD Radio stations and stores the song info on your iPod. The next time you connect your iPod to iTunes, you will be able to preview your tagged songs and purchase and download them from directly from iTunes.
Note: Third party services may not be available in all areas; please contact an authorized retailer for coverage in your area.
The CDE-HD138BT is more than just a CD player, it is designed to work with your iPod or iPhone - so you can enjoy all your favorites wherever the road takes you.
Connect your iPod or iPhone using the USB cable that came with your iPod or iPhone and you've got access to all your music, right from your head unit. Adding the optional heavy-duty, automotive-grade Alpine KCU-445i USB iPod/iPhone cable is an even better option. This cable can stand up to the rigors of in-car use unlike the cable supplied with your iPod or iPhone used primarily for charging. With USB you get convenient control so you can scroll through all your Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Songs - and view all your song information right from the head unit display. Enjoy all your music whether from your iPod or iPhone, Alpine brings the music to your car.
Note: MP3 device or cell phone can only be independently controlled through the head unit when using the USB connection, not with the AUX connection.
Compatible iPods and iPhones
Visit the Apple site to identify your model iPod.
Friends managing music in your car earning the coveted passenger seat just got easier. The CDE-HD138BT has a "Passenger Control Mode" that gives the passenger control of the tunes directly from the iPod's or iPhone's menu. The driver still has play/pause, track up/down, and volume control right from the CDE-HD138BT's faceplate. When the driver wants to take control again, a 1 second press of the volume knob switches the control from the iPod back to the CDE-HD138BT's menu.
For especially big music libraries, Percentage Search function uses the preset buttons for quick jumps to specific parts of the list. Save yourself from scrolling through each song one by one, when you can just jump to a segment of your library with a touch of a button

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong disease that develops when the
pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that lets sugar (glucose) move from
the blood into the body's cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for
later use. If sugar cannot move from the blood into the cells, the person's
blood sugar rises above a safe level and the cells cannot function
Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, although it typically
develops in children and young adults, usually before the age of 30. Because of
this, type 1 diabetes used to be called juvenile diabetes. It has also been
called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) because insulin injections
must be taken daily.
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually develop quickly, over a few
hours or a few days. Often symptoms are first noticed after an illness, such as
the flu. Early warning signs of diabetes that are often overlooked
As blood sugar levels increase, more noticeable symptoms may
develop, including blurred vision; drowsiness; fast and shallow breathing; a
strong, fruity breath odor; loss of appetite; abdominal pain; and
Treatment for type 1 diabetes focuses on keeping the person's blood
sugar level within a target range. This is done by eating a balanced
diet, taking insulin injections, and getting regular exercise.

Ridley Fenix CR2 105 Road Bike - 2014 Performance Exclusive
Read the review on the Performance Bike Blog.The Ridley Fenix is about the closest you'll find to a "do-it-all" bike on the market. The Fenix is designed to deliver both comfort and performance to cyclists of all ability levels. Designed to tame the Pave of northern France and Flanders, the Fenix is the go to bike of choice for the Pro Tour Lotto-Belisol team when they need a bike that can withstand 160 miles of brutal cobbles without wearing out the riders.
The Fenix was created out of the lessons learned from two of Ridley's most successful bikes: the Damocles and the Excalibur, and in many ways incorporates the best aspects of both bikes. The tubes are diamond shaped for strength and durability, while the geometry and taller headtube promise plenty of comfort and exceptionally stable handling. According to Ridley, the bike offers "comfort, stiffness, and strength in equal measure", but this is no take-it-easy weekend path and pavement bike. This is one of the toughest, race-ready bikes (it even has the UCI approval sticker on the downtube, for extra legit-ness) you'll find anywhere, with plenty of get-up and go. It also just happens to deliver an amazingly comfortable ride as well.
The Fenix CR2 105 is a full carbon fiber bike equipped with a Shimano 105 10-speed drivetrain and Ridley's own 4Za components. The frame is made with 24-ton high modulus unidirectional carbon fiber formed into Ridley's distinctive diamond shape for rugged strength and durability. The taller headtube both alleviates stress on the lower back while riding and enhances frame stiffness by eliminating the need to use as many headset spacers.
This "endurance" geometry dovetails nicely with Ridley's fit philosophy--a philosophy that stipulates that rider comfort is the best way to enhance performance. By lengthening the headtube, the frame is stiffer, and the rider is in a more comfortable, natural position. This makes it possible to fine-tune the fit stem length and seatpost height, instead of trying to add spacers to adapt the frame to the rider.
The CR2 frame also features internal cable routing, and for all the right reasons. Internal cable routing not only keeps the lines of the bike cleaner and makes the frame more aerodynamic, but it also cuts down on cable slap and fouling--essential when riding over rough terrain or in muddy, wet conditions. It helps keep the cables from wearing out prematurely, and keeps them cleaner for smoother, more precise shifting and braking in any weather conditions.
Additionally, a PF30 bottom bracket and oversized, tapered headtube enhance frame stiffness. The PF30 bottom bracket allows the use of a crankset with a shorter, beefier spindle for less flex and improved power transmission. The bottom bracket shell is also burlier, which means that the frame is stiffer, so more watts go into forward movement, and less into frame flex. The tapered headtube enables the frame to be stiffer for improved handling and control on even the roughest terrain.
The full carbon fiber fork features a medium rake that gives the bike the ability to dive into turns without feeling twitchy or unstable. The carbon fiber arms and steerer help absorb road vibrations and smooth out the ride.
The Shimano 105 10-speed group on the CR2 delivers exceptional performance without breaking the bank. That's because 105 got a serious dose of trickle down technology from its Dura-Ace and Ultegra big brothers. 105 delivers unmatched rider ergonomics and performance, thanks to powerful, intuitive STI shifting that lets you downshift by one or two cogs with each shift in the rear, and powerful, front derailleur movement that makes going from the little to big ring a cinch. Combine that with SIS rear derailleur technology for the ultimate in precision and unmatched reliability, and you've got one of the best, most affordable high performance shift systems on the market.
Rounding out this impressive package is a build kit from Ridley's own 4Za brand. 4Za is in many ways unlike some other company's house brand component arms. Ridley engineers every 4Za component to integrate seamlessly with their bikes at a basic level, ensuring optimized performance at every level. In fact, 4Za is the trusted component supplier of Lotto-Belisol, who chose not to pursue a component supplier like FSA or 3T in favor of 4Za. The bike rolls on a set of durable and light Alex RC30 clinchers laced to Shimano freehubs which delivers durable, lightweight performance and an easy, stable ride.
- The Spring Classics bike of choice for the riders of the Lotto-Belisol team
- Unique Ridley fit utilizes a traditional geometry and taller headtube, so you need fewer spacers, creating a stiffer, more stable frame
- 24-ton high mod, uni-directional carbon fiber construction is stiff and lightweight
- Distinctive diamond-shaped tubing makes the Fenix the strongest, toughest bike around
- 4Za monoque full carbon fiber fork, oversized headtube and PF30 bottom bracket help stiffen up the bike for improved performance
- Full Shimano 105 groupset delivers true 10-speed shifting with dependable Shimano Quality

First drive: the new SEAT Leon
The first Leon you might actually choose over a Golf? Sam Philip reports...
Posted: 09 Nov 2012
It's red, it's Spanish and it looks a bit angry. Is it Fernando Alonso at the AGM of the Sebastian Vettel Appreciation Society?
Amazingly, no. It's the all-new Leon, based on the VW Group's all-new and entirely clever MQB architecture.
I seem to be reading the letters 'MQB' a lot this year...
You do. Modularer Querbaukasten is, of course, the same sort-of-platform that underpins the new Audi A3 and the MkVII Golf, alongside about quarter of a billion other VW Group cars over the next few years.
So why shouldn't I just buy a new Golf instead of this Leon?
Perhaps the Leon's looks, for one, which are far more distinctive than the hyper-conservative VW. Seat is especially proud of the sharpness of the swage lines, and razor-edged they are: the wing mirrors, too, are pointy enough to disembowel pedestrians.
Yes, but it can't be quite so good to drive as the new Golf, can it?
Don't be so sure. We haven't tested a Leon and Golf back to back yet, but first impressions are that it'll be very, very close. We tried a 1.4 TSI with a manual six-speed box and Seat's optional Drive Select system - which alters throttle and steering response - and the overall impression was of a car as pointy to drive as it is to look at. The engine is a fizzy treat, the gearshift is precise and handling is wieldy. Up 100kg lighter than the previous generation, the Leon manages to be neat-riding and delicate on its feet without ever feeling brittle.
Surely it feels a bit... cheaper than the Golf, though?
OK, it's not quite so austerely classy inside as the VW, but the new Leon's cabin represents a giant leap over the previous generation. Ignore the bemusing swathe of empty dash at the base of the centre console and you'll find masses of soft-touch plastics alongside some neat (albeit optional) tech, including a motion-sensing sat nav screen that spots when your finger is hovering near.
Like the Golf?
Yes, but unlike the Golf, the Leon is available with all-LED headlights, a first in this sector and a £995 option. OK, they're probably not enough to swing the deal in their own right, but hey, it's something on which to splash all that cash you'll have saved over the equivalent Golf...
So it's cheaper?
Around 10 per cent cheaper, spec-for-spec, according to Seat. A couple of grand isn't to be sniffed at in this market, and the Leon is no longer a compromise solution, instead a very fine car in its own right. What do you think, TopGear.com? Might this be the first Leon you might actually choose over a Golf? Or does your badge snobbery run just too deep?

Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), is a leafy garden plant of the Family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), used as a vegetable. It is a herbaceous, biennial, dicotyledonous flowering plant distinguished by a short stem upon which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties red or purplish, forming a characteristic compact, globular cluster (cabbagehead).
The plant is also called head cabbage or heading cabbage, and in Scotland bowkail, from its rounded shape. The Scots call its stalk a castock, and the British call its head a loaf.
The cultivated cabbage is derived from a leafy wild mustard plant, native to the Mediterranean region, where it is common along the seacoast. Also called sea cabbage and wild cabbage, it was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans; Cato the Elder praised this vegetable for its medicinal properties, declaring that "It is the cabbage which surpasses all other vegetables." The English name derives from the Normanno-Picard caboche (head), perhaps from boche (swelling, bump). Cabbage was developed by ongoing artificial selection for suppression of the internode length. It is related to the turnip.
Cabbage leaves often display a delicate, powdery, waxy coating called bloom. The sharp or bitter taste sometimes present in cabbage is due to glucosinolate(s).
Boiling tenderizes the leaves and releases sugars, which leads to the characteristic "cabbage" aroma. Boiled cabbage has become stigmatized in North America because of its strong cooking odor and the belief that it causes flatulence. Boiled cabbage as an accompaniment to meats and other dishes can be an excellent source of vitamins and dietary fiber. It is often prepared and served with boiled meat and other vegetables as part of a boiled dinner. Cabbage rolls, a type of dolma, are an East European and Middle Eastern delicacy. The leaves are softened by parboiling or by placing the whole head of cabbage in the freezer, and then stuffed with a mixture of chopped meat and/or rice. Stuffed cabbage is called holishkes in Yiddish. A vegetable stuffed with shredded cabbage and then pickled is called mango.
Bubble and squeak consists of potatoes and cabbage or, especially formerly, potatoes, cabbage and meat fried together. Potatoes and cabbage or other greens boiled and mashed together make up a dish called colcannon, an Irish Gaelic word meaning white-headed cabbage, grounded in Old Irish terms for cabbage or kale (cāl), head (cend or cenn) and white (find). In the American South and Midland, corn dodgers were boiled as dumplings with cabbage and ham.
It is a source of indol-3-carbinol, or I3C, a compound used as an adjuvent therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, a disease of the head and neck caused by human papillomavirus (usually types 6 and 11) that causes growths in the airway that can lead to death.
In European folk medicine, cabbage leaves are used to treat acute inflammation. A paste of raw cabbage may be placed in a cabbage leaf and wrapped around the affected area to reduce discomfort. Some claim it is effective in relieving painfully engorged breasts in breastfeeding women.
Broadly speaking, cabbage varieties come in two groups, early and late. The early varieties mature in about 45 days. They produce small heads which do not keep well and are intended for consumption while fresh. The late cabbage matures in about 87 days, and produces a larger head.
Cabbage can be started indoors or sowed directly. Like all brassicae, cabbage is a cool season crop, so early and late plantings do better than those maturing in the heat of the summer.
Control of insect pests is important, particularly in commercial production where appearance is a driver of success. The pesticides sevin and malathion are both listed for use on cabbage. A plant collar, consisting of a band of tar paper or similar material, is sometimes placed around the base of the stem of transplanted seedlings to protect them from injury by insects.
Cabbages keep well and were thus a common winter vegetable before refrigeration and long-distance shipping of produce.

Among the many destructive diseases affecting the cabbage and often other members of the cabbage family are:
Many insects and other pests infest cabbage plants, among them:
There are two species of Chinese cabbage (lettuce cabbage, pakchoi, pechay) from Asia that somewhat resemble cabbage and are widely used as greens: Brassica chinensis, bok choy or celery cabbage, which forms a loose, chardlike head of dark green leaves, and Brassica pekinensis, or pe-tsai (peh-tsai), forming an elongated compact head of broad, light green leaves. Rape, an annual herb (Brassica napus) of European origin but known only as a cultigen, differs from the cabbage in its deeply lobed leaves, which are not hairy like those of the turnip.
A thick-witted person may be called a cabbagehead. In Hebrew, the term "rosh kruv" (cabbagehead) implies stupidity.
The French use a term of endearment, "mon petit chou" (of a man/boy) or "ma petite chou" (of a woman/girl), equivalent to "darling" but translated literally as "my little cabbage" in school French textbooks in England since the late 1950s. This is still used today, as can be seen in this extract from Shamrocks Falling by P A Matthews:
The word also refers, much more complimentarily, to a pâtisserie item called "chou à la crème", a sphere of light airy pastry split and sandwiched with a thick layer of whipped or confectioner's cream. In addition, it is also used for a soft, cabbage-shaped ornament or rosette of fabric used in women's wear, such as a knot of ribbons on a dress or a crushed crown on a hat. "Chou" comes from the Latin caulis (stalk).
In England, cabbage is rarely used slang for cash, especially paper money or bank notes. It is also used vulgarly for a person in a vegetative state, and by extension "cabbaging" means "lazing about".

Topless TuesdayPosted: June 5, 2012 Filed under: Topless Tuesday | Tags: Anna Kournikova, Britney Spears, Enriqu Iglesias shirtless, Enrique, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Julio Iglesias, Spanish language, Topless gentleman, Topless Tuesday Leave a comment
While I was cruising home this evening, I heard a song by a beautifully handsome gentleman that everyone knows the lyrics to…whether you want to admit it or not.
Hint: "Let me be your hero."
Enrique Iglesias
There are three things that pop into my mind when I hear Enrique's name:
- Jennifer Love Hewitt screaming her face off in the music video for Enrique's jam "Hero."
- A beautiful beauty mark
- Leather pants
Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler graced us with his presence May 8, 1975. He was born in Madrid, Spain and you can never say no to a Spanish man.
Fun Facts about Enrique:
- He recorded his first demo tape on a cassette tape…remember those?
- Enrique's dad is Julio Iglesias…he's sort of a famous Spanish singer…okay he's really famous.
- Enrique recorded his first album in Toronto
- This handsome man has released a total of nine albums and had completed six world tours…seven if you count this summer's tour with J.LO!
- He's been dating tennis star Anna Kournikova since 2001…no one really knows if they are a married or not…for the rest of womankind's sake… hopefully not.
- Enrique is a TV star…he has guest starred on "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men."
Out of all of Enrique's accomplishments, there is one Enrique moment that always sticks out in my mind as the best…ever. You can view it below:
You can probably guess why I deemed this Enrique's best moment in the history of moments, but I will tell you anyways. He was so, so close to my spiritual goddess The Legendary Miss Britney Spears.
Enrique – See you in A.C. boo!

North Meets South On the West Branch
The West Branch Angler & Resort will host a river celebration featuring two top-notch musical acts on Sunday, Aug. 21. The featured bands are the Alvarado Road Show, a Nashville-based country trio making its first appearance in New York that weekend, and the Blues Maneuver, the horn-driven Catskills R&B band that has been a regional favorite for more than a decade. The event, "North Meets South on the West Branch" is sponsored by Friends of the Upper Delaware River. It will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on Aug. 21. Admission is free and open to everyone. Donations will be taken to cover the cost of the bands and to support FUDR's ongoing work to protect the Upper Delaware River System. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
We're inviting everyone to come celebrate the best fishing season we?ve had in a long, long time with some cold beer and some hot music, said Dan Plummer, chairman of FUDR, a nonprofit river conservation group. A new reservoir water release plan and Mother Nature --along with a little help from our friends --has kept the fish safe, and the fishing is still going strong. It's time to celebrate. The West Branch Angler & Resort is located on the West Branch of the Delaware River near Hale Eddy, off Route 17 between Hancock and Deposit, N.Y. Take Route 17 to the Hale Eddy exit, cross the Hale Eddy Bridge, then turn left on Faulkner Road and proceed 3/4 of a mile to the resort.
The Alvarado Road Show features brothers AJ and Cleve Clark and their nephew, drummer Brandon Trey. Known for tight sibling harmonies and vivid songwriting, ARS is a full-time touring band that does more than 150 shows a year. The trio has performed in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry, the famed Ryman Auditorium and at the CMA Music Festival. Cleve and AJ Clark are contract songwriters for Sony/ATV Music Publishing, and they have shared credits with some of the biggest hitmakers in rock and country music, including Steve Wariner, Stan Lynch, David Z, Kyle Cook, Kim Williams and Rick Carnes.
The Blues Maneuver will get the party started at 5:15 p.m., then will join ARS on stage for a north-and-south jam at end of the trio?s set. Luther Krajicek, frontman of the Blues Maneuver, said he became acquainted with the Clarks and Trey on the Gulf Coast. ?There are hundreds of great musicians working down on the southern coast, influenced both by Nashville and New Orleans,? Krajicek said. But these guys stood from the moment I heard their first song as something completely original. Great songs, great harmonies, great guys.? Krajicek lured them to New York for the first time this summer by booking them at several gigs, including the ?Hoedown in the Blowdown? festival near Oneonta on Aug. 19 and as an opening act before Mary Chapin Carpenter?s show at the Belleayre Summer Music Festival on Aug. 20.
"I was saving Aug. 21 for a joint show with Blues Maneuver and ARS, and the river celebration was the perfect fit for that, thanks to Dan Plummer of FUDR and Sam Batschelet of West Branch Angler" Krajicek said.

Robot Inspiration Series #6: Computer-Interacting Robots
Keyboard: Besides taking input from the keyboard, you can make a robot control the keyboard. In other words, I could have my robot write a post on this blog! In terms of taking input from the keyboard, here's a video of a "NXT Messenger" I made using RoboRealm. With the range of BT, I can type a message up here in my room, and my mom can read it in the kitchen, two floors down, on the NXT brick!
(sorry for the low quality of the NXT screen... putting the video in the blogger player made it much harder to read the text on the NXT screen)
Mouse: Now RoboRealm lets you get the coordinates of a computer mouse and even control the mouse. Here's a video of my computer mouse controlling a cursor on the NXT screen:
EDIT: You can get the two .robo (RoboRealm) files here and here (to get them you'll need to right-click->Save Target As). You can get the two NXT-G programs here and here. Just to clarify what goes on, the .robo files read inputs from the computer and send the data to the NXT brick via BT, and the NXT-G files recieve the data and control the actual behaviors of the NXT Brick.
EDIT 2: You can get the My Block for the Keyboard NXT-G program here.
