Croquet is a game played both as a recreational pastime and as a competitive sport which involves hitting wooden or plastic balls with a mallet through hoops embedded into the grass playing arena.
According to Nicky Smith , in the book The History of Croquet there are two theories of the origin of Croquet before it took England by storm in the 1860s. The first theory is that the game was French, and was introduced to England during the reign of Charles II, when it was played under the name of Pall Mall or Paille Maille, perhaps suggesting ball and mallet. This was the explanation given in the ninth edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, dated 1877. Many writers have accepted this theory but there seems to be little evidence that the game either resembled croquet or influenced its rules; indeed, there is apparently a publication by one Dr Richard Prior dated 1872 that concludes that the two games are very different.
The second theory, which seems to have stronger credentials, is that croquet arrived from Ireland during the 1850s, perhaps after being brought there from Brittany where a similar game was played on the beaches. John Jaques, of the manufacturer Jaques that still supplies a significant share of croquet equipment used today, apparently claimed in a letter to Arthur Lillie in 1873 that he had himself seen the game played there and "I made the implements and published directions (such as they were) before Mr Spratt [who is also claimed to have first written down the rules] introduced the subject to me". Whatever the truth of the matter, Jaques certainly played an important role in popularising the game, producing editions of the laws in 1857, 1860, and 1864.
The game became highly popular as a social pastime in England during the 1860s; by 1867, Jaques had printed 65,000 copies of his Laws and Regulations. It quickly spread to other Anglophile countries, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. No doubt one of the attractions was that the game could be played by both sexes; this also ensured a certain amount of adverse comment.
By the late 1870s, however, croquet had been eclipsed by another fashionable game, tennis, and many of the newly-created croquet clubs, including the All-England club at Wimbledon, converted some or all of their lawns into tennis courts. There was a revival in the 1890s, but from then onwards, croquet was always a minority sport, with national individual membership amounting to a few thousand players.
Croquet was an event at the 1900 Summer Olympics and roque, a variation on croquet (see below), an event at the 1904 Summer Olympics. One of the best known croquet clubs is the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, originally the All England Croquet Club, which hosts the annual Wimbledon tennis championships.
There are several variations of croquet currently played, differing in the scoring systems, order of shots, and layout (particularly in social games where play must be adapted to smaller-than-standard playing courts). Two forms of the game, Association Croquet and Golf Croquet, have rules that are agreed internationally and are played in many countries around the world. More unusual variations of the game include Mondo Croquet, eXtreme Croquet, and Bicycle Croquet. Gateball, played mainly in the Far East, can also be regarded as a croquet variant.
As well as club-level games, there are regular world championships and international matches between croquet-playing countries. The sport has particularly strong followings in the UK, USA, New Zealand and Australia; every four years, these countries play the MacRobertson Shield tournament. Many other countries also play.
Croquet is popularly believed to be viciously competitive. This may derive from the fact that (unlike golf) players will often attempt to move their opponents' balls to unfavourable positions. However, purely negative play is rarely a winning strategy: successful players (in all versions other than Golf Croquet) will use all four balls to set up a break for themselves, rather than simply making life as difficult as possible for their opponents. At championship standard Association Croquet, players can often make all 26 points (13 for each ball) in two turns.
Unlike most sports, men and women compete and are ranked together. Three women have won the British Open Championship: Lily Gower in 1905, Dorothy Steel in 1925, 1933, 1935 and 1936, and Hope Rotherham in 1960. While male players are in the majority at club level in England, the opposite is the case in Australia and New Zealand. The highest-ranked female player in the world is currently (August 2008) Jenny Clarke of New Zealand
Association Croquet is the proper name of the game of croquet that is most widely played throughout the world and at international level. In Association Croquet one player (or in doubles, one team) takes the black and blue balls, the other takes red and yellow. On each turn, the player can choose to play either of his balls, and must continue to play that ball for the rest of the turn. Each turn initially consists of one stroke, but the turn continues if the player either hits the ball through the correct hoop ("runs" a hoop), or hits another ball (a "roquet"). Upon hitting another ball, the player must pick up their own ball and play their next shot with the two balls touching: this is the "croquet stroke" from which the game takes its name. After the croquet stroke, the player is allowed a further "continuation" stroke, during which the player must again attempt to make a roquet or run a hoop. Each of the other three balls may be roqueted at most once until a hoop is run, at which point they become available again. The winner is the first player who, with both balls, completes a prescribed circuit of twelve hoops and then strikes the centre peg (making a total of 13 points per ball).
Good players will often make "breaks" of several hoops in a single turn, and the best players routinely take a ball round the full circuit in one turn. As long breaks became more common, "Advanced Play" (a variant of Association play for expert players) was introduced. This gives penalties to a player who runs certain hoops in the same turn. In response, feats of skill such as triple peels and even sextuple peels, in which the partner ball (or occasionally an opponent ball) is caused to run a number of hoops in a turn by the striker's ball, became more common in order to avoid the penalties.
Success in Association Croquet depends on a combination of physical skill and careful strategy, and perhaps most of all on cool assessment of risks and probabilities. A handicap system ensures that less experienced players always have a chance of winning even against formidable opponents. Players of all ages and both sexes compete on level terms.
The current (February 10 2008) Association Croquet World Champion is Chris Clarke (GB). The world championships are organised by the WCF (World Croquet Federation) and usually take place every 2 or 3 years. The next world championships are to take place in May 2009 in Palm Beach, Florida. The Great Britain team won the last MacRobertson International Croquet Shield tournament, which is the major international test tour trophy in Association Croquet. It is contested every 3 to 4 years between Australia, GB, USA and New Zealand. Historically England/GB have been the dominant force winning 13 times out of the 19 times it has been held.
The world's top 10 Association Croquet players as of 7 October 2007 were Reg Bamford (South Africa), Robert Fulford (croquet player) (England), Chris Clarke (England), David Maugham (England), Keith Aiton (Scotland), Stephen Mulliner (England), Rutger Beijderwellen (Netherlands), James Death (England), Aaron Westerby (New Zealand), and Bruce Fleming (Australia).
The governing body in Britain is The Croquet Association, which has been the driving force of the development of the game. The laws and tournament regulations are now maintained by the International Laws Committee, established by the croquet associations of England and Wales (CA), Australia (ACA), New Zealand (CNZ) and the United States (USCA).
In Golf Croquet each player takes turns trying to hit a ball through the same hoop, the winner being the player who manages to hit the ball through the most hoops first. Golf Croquet has the advantage of being easier to learn and play, but its critics claim that the lack of croquet strokes in the game means that it is less intellectually demanding. There are other variations popular in other croquet-playing nations.
Golf Croquet is the fastest-growing version of the game, owing largely to its simplicity and fierce competitiveness. Egyptian players overwhelmingly dominate the game. In comparison with Association Croquet, play is faster and balls are much more likely to be lifted off the ground, as seen in this video footage.
The current (March 6, 2008) Golf Croquet World Champion is Mohammed Nasr (Egypt).
The "American rules" version of croquet -- another six-wicket-layout game -- is the dominant version of the game in the United States and is also widely played in Canada. Its genesis is mostly in Association Croquet, but it differs in a number of important ways that reflect the home-grown traditions of American "backyard" croquet. Two of the most notable differences are that the balls are always played in the same sequence (blue, red, black, yellow) throughout the game, and that a ball's "deadness" on other balls is carried over from turn to turn until the ball has been "cleared" by scoring its next hoop. Tactics are simplified on the one hand by the strict sequence of play, and complicated on the other hand by the continuation of deadness. A further difference is the more restrictive boundary line rules of American-rules croquet. In the American-rules game, roqueting a ball out of bounds or running a hoop out of bounds causes the turn to end, and balls that go out of bounds are replaced only nine inches from the boundary rather than a yard as in Association Croquet. "Attacking" balls on the boundary line to bring them into play is thus far more challenging than in Association Croquet. Together, these features of the American-rules game lead to complicated strategic and tactical situations in which defensive plays are frequently preferred.
American-rules croquet emphasizes strategy and tactics over pure shot-making ability. Because the American rules can severely punish unsuccessful offensive plays and reward a more cautious, defensive approach, shot-making ability is relatively less important in the American game than in Association Croquet, and top-level Association Croquet players are, almost invariably, vastly superior shot makers.
American-rules enthusiasts enjoy what many regard as the greater mental challenge of their game, along with the reduction in importance of shot-making skill. It is a maxim of the game that good strategy will beat pure physical skill more often than not, and this allows players with fewer physical gifts to be competitive in the sport.
In American-rules croquet, hoops are referred to as "wickets" and the peg is referred to as the "stake."
American-rules croquet is a distant cousin of Kentucky croquet, a variant played with nine wickets on clay courts. The best-known star of Kentucky croquet was Archie Burchfield, who discovered American six-wicket croquet in the early 1980s, quickly became one of its best players, and introduced new strategies and tactics that enlivened the game. Burchfield died in February, 2005.
The governing body of the American-rules game is the United States Croquet Association.
Top American-rules players as of late 2007 include 2007 USCA National Singles Championship winner Paul Scott, 2007 USCA National Doubles Championship winners Brian Cumming and Lionel S. (Stewart) Jackson, John C. Osborn (son of USCA founder Jack Osborn), Leo McBride, Bob Cherry, Ron Lloyd, Jeff Soo, Danny Huneycutt, Freeman A. (Bill) Berne, Kenster Rosenberry, Rich Lamm, Matt Baird, Johnny Mitchell, Ted Knopf, Doug Grimsley, and Paul T. Bennett.
Two important American croquet publications are Croquet World Online, the USCA Croquet News and the National Croquet Calendar.
This version of the rules is also not-uncommonly used in home and college lawn games in England, sometimes with minor variations, probably because it doesn't overemphasise shot-making ability.
Croquet has become a popular backyard game in Canada and America, where croquet sets are commonplace in most department stores and sports shops. Such sets typically consist of 6 wooden mallets with plastic bumpers on both striking surfaces. The mallet head and handle usually come unassembled and are joined by screwing the handle into the head. The 6 balls are either of wood or, more commonly, plastic. They are colored blue, red, black, yellow, green and orange. Also included are 9 wire wickets and two wooden stakes. There is often a carrying case or stand with the set.
Setup is just as in standard 9-wicket rules. It is a double-diamond pattern formed by 7 wickets, with the middle wicket serving as a shared point for both diamonds. Beyond the wickets at either end are one additional wicket and one stake. The diagram included with the set indicates that there is to be a 6-foot distance separating the wickets at the outer end of each diamond, and 6 more feet between the outermost wickets and the starting and turning stakes. In practice, however, this part of the diagram is typically disregarded, and a mere "mallets-head-length" (about 10 inches) separates one wicket from the other, and the outermost wicket from the stake. This allows the ball to more easily be hit through both wickets in one stroke.
The standard game is "cut-throat," with each player trying to beat all the others through the course to the final stake. A player's score is disregarded. Instead, the game is considered a race. The game is sometimes considered over as soon as the first player strikes the final stake. Alternatively, players continue playing for second place, third place, etc., until only one player's ball remains.
Play order is determined by the order of the stripes painted from top to bottom on the stakes. The mallets are sometimes also painted in multicolored stripes to remind players of the playing order. The usual order is blue, red, black, yellow, green, and finally orange. After orange is done, play continues with blue again. This order sometimes varies, depending on the set being used.
The first player begins by setting his or her ball beside or in front of the first stake. The player then attempts to strike the ball through the first two wickets. Though disallowed in some yards, players might sometimes use the technique of striking the ball not with the end of the mallet, but with the side, or even shoving it with the side, rather than striking it. Another technique disallowed in some yards, but tolerated in others, is to set the ball in direct contact with the stake, and to propel it by striking the stake, rather than the ball itself.
A bonus stroke is granted for each wicket the ball goes through. At the starting and turning stakes, two bonus strokes would be granted for getting the ball through both wickets in one stroke.
Two bonus strokes are also granted for hitting another ball. Hitting a ball cancels out all bonus strokes accumulated from wickets, and going through a wicket cancels all bonus strokes accumulated from hitting a ball. A player can therefore acquire no more than 2 bonus strokes at a time.
If a player hits another ball, that player is considered "dead" on that ball, and can acquire no more bonus strokes from hitting that ball until he or she has gone through the next wicket (or struck the next stake) in the course.
After hitting another ball and gaining bonus strokes from it, a player has three choices as to ball placement. The player may play the ball where it lies, pick up the ball and place it right next to the struck ball, or pick up the ball and place it one mallets-head-length away from the struck ball.
If the ball is placed right next to the struck ball, the player may "send" the other ball by placing a foot on his or her own ball and then striking it so as to send the other ball away. Care must be taken not to unintentionally send one's own ball during this manoeuvre, and not to injure one's own foot with an overzealous and poorly aimed swing. Holding the ball in place with a hand, rather than a foot, is also acceptable in some yards. A "send" counts as one stroke, and the player has one more stroke after performing it.
Players must play their balls through the wickets in a certain order. From the starting stake and the first two wickets, they proceed forward and right to the third wicket, then forward and left to the fourth, middle wicket, then forward and right to the fifth wicket, then forward and left to the sixth and seventh wickets, and then to the turning stake. After striking the turning stake, the player may pick up the ball and place it again in the same manner as with the starting stake, or else play it where it lies. The player then proceeds back through wickets 7 and 6, in that order, then forward and right to the eighth wicket, then forward and left to the fourth, middle wicket (going through the other direction, this time), then forward and right through the ninth wicket, then forward and left through wickets 2 and 1 in that order, and finally striking the starting stake to win the game. Players do not get bonus strokes for going through a wicket backwards, or out of the proper order.
There are as many variations on these rules as there are yards in which the game is played, and care must be taken to make the "house rules" clear before the start of the game.
One popular variation is "Poison" (also known as "Snake" or "Zombie"). In this game, a ball that reaches the starting stake again is considered a Poison. (In some versions, it must complete the last hoop but not hit the stake.) This ball "kills" or eliminates other balls (Poison or not) from play if it strikes them, and also gets the usual two-stroke bonus after doing so. If a Poison ball hits a stake or goes through a wicket in any direction, it is killed. If a non-Poison ball strikes a Poison, it may do the same things as if it had hit another ball; this includes the possibility of sending the Poison through a wicket, killing it. (In some versions, a non-Poison ball that strikes a Poison is killed, instead of getting bonus strokes; so the only effective way to kill a Poison ball is to complete the course and become Poison yourself.) The last player on the course wins the game, with other players ranked according to the number of hoops completed.
Similar to Poison, yet another variation is "Stinger," which is popular particularly in Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest. When a player reaches the starting stake again, that player may place his ball anywhere along or behind an imaginary line that runs through the starting stake and perpendicular to a line drawn between both stakes (the "baseline") and is given one final bonus, or "finishing," stroke to strike his ball past the center wicket or one half the length of the course. If the player fails to pass the "center" line, his turn is over and he must wait until his next turn. At the very instant in which the ball has completely crossed the center line, that player's ball becomes a Stinger and has the ability to kill another ball (if the player happens to pass through the center wicket on the finishing stroke, he is still alive as he does not become a Stinger until after he has completely passed through the wicket). The game is continued according to the Poison rules above with two major exceptions: 1) a non-Stinger who roquets a Stinger is eliminated and 2) once a player has taken his finishing stroke, that player shall not be awarded any further bonus strokes for the remainder of the game. If, during the finishing stroke, the striker roquets a ball on the near side of the center wicket, no kill is awarded; however if a ball on the far side of the center wicket is struck, a kill is recorded.
Another variation is team play, where pairs or trios of players compete against other teams to be the first with all members completing the course. Teams are typically blue, black and green versus red, yellow and orange. In couples play, it is blue and black versus red and yellow, or blue and yellow versus red and green versus black and orange.
Yet another variation is "Obstacle" or "Golf" rules, in which players must go through a unique course of wickets that has been designed to be long and difficult. Wickets are often placed in inconvenient spots, such as under bushes or on the sides of hills. The idea here is to maximize originality and absurdity, and there are often numerous additional rules toward this aim, such as the rule that you may not take a stroke without a drink (preferably alcoholic) in your hand.
The United States Croquet Association (USCA) is the governing body of croquet in the United States. The Official USCA 9 Wicket Croquet Website is http://www.9wicketcroquet.com
Croquet is also played in many private gardens in England, under a wide variety of rules. It appears that many families allow a croquet shot to be taken with one foot resting firmly on the striker's ball, so that the opponent's ball can be dispatched to a distance (perhaps beyond the next hoop, ready to be roqueted again), while keeping the striker's ball well-placed for the next hoop, for instance. This tactic is outlawed in Association Croquet.
Roque is an American variation of croquet played on a 60'x30' hard sand court with raised borders off of which balls may be caromed. It has ten wickets, or "arches," in a figure-8 with double arches in the center facing the sides of the court. In the 1920s, roque had overtaken croquet in popularity and was an event in the 1904 Summer Olympics. The last Nationals for roque were suspended in 2004, and it is practically extinct as an organized sport today.
Mondo Croquet is just like regular croquet only much bigger. Mondo Croquet is played on an enlarged figure 8 course using sledge hammers and bowling balls. Bent rebar is used to create the course. Standard zombie rules apply, with slight modifications. Official rules can be found on the official web site.
Mondo Croquet was created in 1998 by Lord Peters. Annual World Championships are held every summer in Portland, Oregon. Mad Hatter attire is required. In some parts of the US, it goes by the name "Redneck Croquet".
Taking the principles of backyard croquet to the next level results in the phenomenon of eXtreme croquet. This variant shuns the serene settings of traditional croquet for more challenging terrain including those that contain trees, roots, hills, sand, mud, or moving or still water. eXtreme Croquet uses the traditional English figure-eight standard layout, but several additional rules, rules that vary from location to location, are also employed.
On 25 May 2006, the then British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott was photographed by the The Mail on Sunday playing croquet at his official residence, Dorneywood. Following shortly after a sexual scandal that had forced Prescott to resign his ministerial responsibilities while retaining his salary and privileges , the incident was portrayed as evidence that Prescott had little real responsibility for running the country during the absence of the Prime Minister. Shortly afterwards, Prescott announced that he would no longer make use of the Dorneywood residence.
It was also reported that the incident led to a 300% increase in sales of croquet equipment at ASDA , while the TV Five announced that they would be running a series featuring croquet matches played at country houses pitting "rich" against "poor" players.

Rated 3.6 out of 5Â by 9 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Mirmy Kind of Disappointing I saw this dress online and i fell in love with it! I ordered a size small which usually works for me I am 5'7' and 123 lbs. and i was disappointed with the fit of this the lace lair has too much fabric and it is loose and it would better if it was tighter. Although every time i wear this dress i get many compliments although I'm not overall happy with this dress. 1.23.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by sailin11 size up I ordered a medium size after reading the previous review. It fit just fine. I normally buy size S, so you might want to size up. The color is not navy, it is black. 10.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Bradz really roomy i have a 34" bust, 25" waist and 30" hips and I'm 5'5". I bought the size small. when i tried it on, the black slip underneath fit perfectly, but the outer shell of crochet was extremely loose unlike it is in the picture. I didn't feel like sending it back, so I just sowed in the crochet part a half inch all the way around and now it fits perfectly. I love it <3 looks really good!!! but it does run large! 3.16.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by ExpendableLimbs Disappointing I ordered a xs, I'm 31-24-33 for reference, it fit true to size, maybe a bit to loose? It was really short on me, bending down wouldn't be a good idea! I'm 5'5. It wasn't navy it was black. There was just too much of the crochet overlay, and the black washed me out, even though I'm not that pale. 3.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by tennisgurl It's black, not navy It's actually black and charcoal grey. If you want a more fitted look size down. I am petite 38d and the size large was ok, still a bit button busty and sleeves were long. Good for thicker framed people as well as slight builds who like a relaxed fit. I'm returning due to color. 2.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bellaw white winter This is a very cute dress. It has lots of stretch and looks really great on. I really like it with high boots and tights. A great mid season look. The sizing is true and the white is slighly cream but a great colour. 2.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by buntsen love it I am saving this dress for spring but could wear it now. I like to be covered up yet cool, this is the dress for that. I will wear it with pants or leggings. At my age it is just to short for me without layering! Love the creamy color and the material. I bought it in ivory. 1.16.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by CatyC In Love I was nervous about ordering this dress but I wore a couple weekends back, and received the best compliments. The thicker, lace layer on top is actually more of an alternating black and grey crochet and the bottom layer is actually plain t-shirt material. The bottom layer hangs VERY loose on the body, making me question if it was too big. I ordered the M so sizing down would have made it too short. I'm 5'8, 125 lbs, size 27 pants, and 32 D. I can't wait to wear this again. 10.15.2012

COLLEGE STATION--Head coach Gary Blair met the press on Tuesday at his weekly press conference inside Reed Arena.
Selected quotes are below. Full audio in MP3 format is available through the link to the right and full video through the link above.
Texas A&M
Weekly Press Conference
Selected Quotes
Dec. 4, 2012 ● Reed Arena
Texas A&M Women's Basketball Head Coach Gary
Regarding Alexia Standish leaving the team:
"Sometimes the unexpected happens. I was recruiting in
Houston on Thursday. I got a message that she wanted to meet with me on Friday.
It's not that she wants to go a different direction; she's lost passion for the
game. It's something that pains me deeply. Sometimes kids are different with
what their wants are and what their needs are. I hope Lexi finds what she wants
to do. It hurt me personally. I've never lost a player in 28 years. I've never
lost a starter in my life. She was my recruit. I believed in what she could do.
She's been playing with pain. She's been doing a good job on and off the court
with the price that you've got to pay to contribute. I wish her well.
Hopefully, it's not the end of basketball for her. She loves A&M. I wish
her the best and hope she finds happiness. We will definitely miss her."
On Louisiana Tech:
"They've played five close ball games. They went 0-3 then
they won their last two. What we need to do is worry more about Texas A&M.
We need to be more consistent in our play. We have flashes of players playing
very well. We need to find out who our go-to players are and make sure they
have the ball a little bit more. Bellock is going to have to learn how to be
more physical at the four position."
On finding a player to play the three position:
"Nobody is shooting higher than 30% out of that position.
We've played six ball games and three of them were against top-10 teams.
They've got to get into the flow. They need to learn how to score easier. All
of them are standing around watching too much. They need to move around and
create their shot."
On the TCU time change:
"The game against TCU will be at 3 p.m. I'm not going to
compete with Johnny Football. It's easier to go home on a Saturday afternoon
than a Saturday night. It's a great time to be an Aggie right now. Let's just
keep this thing going."

Many of you may already be aware of this, but a recent email from reader Linda B. reminded me that LEGO Education is now selling for $12.00 a package of 15 90-degree angle pins (Hassenpins) plus 15 of another popular type. Many people have complained that the only way to obtain the Hassenpin was to purchase them individually at very high prices - well, no more! Click here to see the item and order as many as you need.

Thanks, Jim.
These were the packs that Fay linked to on a previous post. The link she posted was via "Bricklink", with a "to-be-named" source for the parts.
Now we know the source of the packs.
- Mar 9, 2008, 7:46:00 AM
Last fall, I got extra 90 degree angle pins by going to the "order missing parts" section of the LEGO website, and ordering the maximum that came with my kit. I was glad to find a better way is now available. This was one of my 3 "wishes" on the wish list you asked for.
Now if LEGO would just sell packs of 4" cables . . .

Elections 2016
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio wins 6th term
PHOENIX -- The self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America has won a sixth term after facing his most bruising re-election contest.
Republican incumbent Joe Arpaio was challenged by Democrat Paul Penzone and independent Mike Stauffer in Maricopa County sheriff's race.
The two retired officers who challenged Arpaio have accused metro Phoenix's longtime sheriff of focusing too heavily on investigations that bring him publicity and ignoring many of the law enforcement duties he was hired to do.
"I'm going to do what I've been doing," Arpaio said. "All policies stay and I'll continue to enforce all illegal immigration laws, however, I want to reach out to the Hispanic community."
He added he would run again in 2016.
In the county to the immediate south of metro Phoenix, Republican incumbent Paul Babeu won in his bid for a second term as Pinal County sheriff.
Babeu faced Democrat Kevin Taylor and independent Ty Morgan.

The End of the Road...
Our discussions are and will remain private - that was part of our agreement with LEGO. I think it's important to understand that one of our jobs was to find bugs - another was to put the product to some extreme testing. This was done so LEGO could make certain that the final retail version that hits shelves soon would be as good a product as they could make it.
I don't know anything more than you, but I can read between the lines in some of my email correspondence with LEGO employees - LEGO definitely has some surprises in store for us, and I get the impression that LEGO, too, has learned some lessons from RIS 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and the MDP experience and intends to put more energy into this new version. My guess is that LEGO will be releasing some expansion products sooner, rather than later, to keep the momentum going.
A while back, I posted a "Letter to LEGO" with some of my ideas. I'd like to invite you to add to it. I know that I've got some LEGO/Billund readers who visit the blog, so maybe some of your comments/suggestions might make a difference.
The end of the MDP does not mean the end of The NXT STEP. Brian, Matthias, and the rest of us will continue to keep you informed of any news related to NXT. And if you know of something that needs to be included, please email one of us. The amount of information is growing quick and I'm sure we can't find it all.
Time to go build a bot...
6 comments:
Today's end date adds to my suspicion that we may be in for a pleasant surprise. Back in Jan or Feb, Lego's site had a "typo" that indicated that the NXT kits set would be available on June 19th. Also, Lego's site indicates that the sets will be shipping by, not on, July 1st (the first day of a four day weekend is an odd time to ship...). Add to that, the mysterious email last Monday, and the conspiracy theorist in me has concluded that I'll get my sets next week.

FLL's usually pretty tight about any competition information in order to keep a level playing field.
If this is for an upcoming challenges, it may not be wise to publically post it.

I was just assuming that he meant the previous year's challenge... I don't think the next challenge details have been released yet.

The FLL table is pretty standard (this seems to be what Jake has sketched up) - it's the playing field and objectives that are changed from year to year.

Yeah, that's the standard playfield... without any of the surrounding PVC piping, goals, etc.

Ben got a Leapster for Christmas….and it needed some protection. I made this little box bottom zip pouch for it to fit in, with a big pocket on the outside for games and a nice thick handle he can carry it around in.
Anna has a good tutorial here, I just changed up the sizing a bit and added a pocket and a handle.
Maybe with a little luck this pouch will add some years to the Leapster's life. Because (almost) 4 years olds and semi-expensive electronics don't mix (cringe).

What a shame. It's a great client. I really think that getting it into the app store would help their numbers.
Absolutely, they talk about why they avoided the App Store on their blog and raise some valid points, but i can't help think they are missing out on a huge audience. Other companies have proved the added volume in sales and promotion make up for the strictness/30% cut.

Rick Nash, in full streak-mode, knocked home his 32nd goal of the season just 2:14 in the first period with some help from Derick Brassard carrying the puck coast to coast. Brassard and Kris Russell both assisted, bringing them each to a career-best 28 assists for Brassard and career-high 23 points for Russell. Ryan O'Reilly evened it up just a few minutes later as bodies were flying in front of Steve Mason and a series of passes drew the defensemen away from the net.
For the first two periods, the Jackets didn't amaze anybody, but they played a tight game. Midway through the second, with Marc Methot in the box, Derek Dorsett intercepted the puck at the blue line and dropped it across to Derek Mackenzie who was able to knock it past netminder Brian Elliot for their first shorthanded goal of the night.
In the third, RJ Umberger tore out of the defensive zone on another Avalanche power play and ripped an easy shot over the shoulder of Elliot to make it 3-1. According to the Blue Jackets PR department, that was only the second time in team history they scored two shorties in one game. The other came in February 2007.
But nothing ever comes easy. With their foot off the pedal, Matt Duchene popped a pinball past Mason at 7:44 (just forty-four seconds after Umberger's shortie) and 14:36. Colorado was abuzz in the third with their gained momentum, and both Duchene goals could have been prevented had the defensemen and Mason both had any sense of each others' whereabouts.
Hopefully you had your seatbelt fastened and your seat in the upright position. It got bumpier from there. Two minutes after Duchene's 3-3 goal, Umberger clobbered Elliot and squirted the puck past him. Why wasn't that goaltender interference? Who knows, but the Jackets had taken another lead! 4-3, under four to go.
Good to go, right?
Wrong. Daniel Winnik had something to say about that. With four seconds left in the game he tied it at four. There was no excuse for the Blue Jackets to give up that goal. Sure, it was six-on-four, but clearly they were already thinking about the bus ride to the airport. The net was half empty for Winnik's shot. Both teams had some brilliant chances in overtime, but ultimately it would go to everybody's least-favorite overtime of overtime.
Do we need to elaborate on what happened next, or can you guess? Columbus was 0/3. Milan Hejduk, the never-aging pest of a Jacket killer, scored. Colorado 5, Columbus 4.
The Jackets have lost six consecutive shootouts.
The broken record sings on.
Columbus is back at it on Thursday against Phoenix. Make sure to take your Dramamine and/or Pepto.

A relationship between two people where one person agrees to make the other person's problems their own. More than often the agreement turns out to be one-sided. This includes lending money, giving rides, emotional support, listening to the other complain or just simply listening to and dealing with the other person's constant bullshit. In actuality, an official agreement was never made to do any of this. Rather a process takes place over time where one party is slowly manipulated into all of the above mentioned acts. Most of the time these relationships eventually end with the main supporter having had enough of the user's ways. However, there are occasionally more extreme cases where the relationship goes on for years, sometimes until death does them part, due to the supporter's own extreme stupidity. In some cases, the situation is so bad that the one party might actually be entitled to claim a dependant when doing their taxes.

Friendship, like everything else is relative. The idea you or I have of a good friendship might be bad to another individual. To me, it's when two or more people love each other, (not erotic love) and will always have the stones to keep such a beautiful thing going.
Girl- I just wanna be friends....
Guy- You know, as long as we're still friends, that's fine.I don't care what it does to our friendship, as long is there still is one, that's fine.

I meaningless black hole of wasted time. Don't bother with friends, because they'll only stab you in the back and leave you there to cry your eyes out. Even a best friend you've had since 3rd grade will rip your heart out. She won't even care that you're sitting at home replaying evey minute of your friendship back in your head. Smiling and laughing at the fun parts. Crying at the sad parts. And beating your self up about the mistakes. Friends may seem like they're there for you, but NEVER completely trust them. Once they've found somebody better, they'll dump you like yesterday's garbage and move the hell on.
Lydia, Rachel, and Lexi ruined my experience with great friendship. Completely tore it to shreds.

Law enforcement services in The Netherlands are managed by the Minister of Security and Justice.
Reorganized into one single national police force in January 2013, the new National Police of the Netherlands, called 'Politie' in Dutch, is made up of 10 regional units, a Central Unit for specialist police activities and a Police Service Centre for all business operations. The new structure is characterized by strong cooperation within one organization, performed seamlessly at three policing levels: local, regional and national.
Force Command
The Force Command, which has a headquarters function, develops policy and makes strategic decisions at national level. Composed of the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners and the Chief Information Officer, the Force Command is supported by the Commissioner's Staff.
Central Unit
Whilst each regional unit is operationally self-sufficient, the National Police includes one central unit which performs both independent and support tasks. Headed by a Chief Constable, the Central Unit is responsible for cross-regional and specialist police activities, including forensic investigations, canine and equestrian units and helicopter police.
Operational divisions of the Central Unit include:
- Central Operations Division: coordination, monitoring and steering of national police operations;
- Central Criminal Investigations Division: serious organized crime, sex crimes committed against children, environmental crime, terrorism and high-tech crime;
- Central Operational Cooperation Division: operational support and sophisticated technological services for covert activities. Includes the National Forensic Service Centre;
- Central Infrastructure Division: safety and crime fighting along the main transport arteries and hubs in The Netherlands;
- Central Security and Protection Division: protection of individuals, objects and services at national, regional, and local levels. Works closely with the National Coordinator for Security and Counter-Terrorism and the Public Prosecution Service;
- Special Interventions Division: serious violence and terrorism;
- Central Intelligence Division: coordination of law enforcement information in the Netherlands and its exchange at international level. INTERPOL The Hague is part of the Central Intelligence Division.
Regional Units
Headed by a Chief Constable, each of the 10 regional units is responsible for police activities in that region. Each unit includes:
- Regional Operations Division: the link between the regional police organization and the activities of the police on the ground;
- Regional Criminal Investigations Division: investigation of criminal groups and serious crime;
- Regional Intelligence Division: provides the Regional Unit with up-to-date information in the form of threat assessments and advice;
- Regional Operational Cooperation Division: conflict and crisis management, this division also functions as a service centre for calls from the public.
Each regional unit is geographically sub-divided into a number of police districts made up of precincts, referred to as 'Robust Frontline Teams', which serve the municipality or several small municipalities. The districts are the link between the regional level of the unit and the local level at which the frontline teams operate. All districts have a Criminal Investigations Team, an Intelligence Centre and a Flex Team. District Flex Teams can provide temporary additional human resources to help frontline teams address specific events. Their core task is to support problem-driven responses, both in public order and in criminal investigation.
Independent law enforcement bodies
In addition to the National Police, other independent national law enforcement bodies include:
- The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee;
- Customs;
- The Fiscal Information and Investigation Service;
- The Social Intelligence and Investigation Service;
- Intelligence and Investigation Service of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate;
- Intelligence and Investigation Service of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority .
INTERPOL The Hague
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for The Netherlands works with all INTERPOL member countries, linking their investigations to Dutch law enforcement bodies and the public prosecution services. It helps INTERPOL NCBs worldwide to carry out investigations involving The Netherlands or Dutch nationals abroad.
The NCB, called the INTERPOL Desk as part of the Central Intelligence Division, operates as the national point of contact for domestic law enforcement agencies requiring help in international investigations.
It is made up of 12 people whose task is the swift and efficient exchange of sensitive information within the INTERPOL community, using INTERPOL's secure global police network, I-24/7.

Midwest Living Review
Hidden in a busy commercial area, the 47-acre Green Bay Botanical Garden offers visitors a wonderful surprise. Winding paths curve past rose gardens, color gardens, perennial gardens, an English cottage garden and a Wisconsin woodland garden, to name a few.
The brightly colored Children's Garden has the requisite tower overlooking a maze (you can climb up and down a tube slide), a sensory garden, a small growing area named Mr. McGregor's Garden and an area with nature-theme puzzles. A floral sundial stands in one corner, and a stretch along the back offers topiaries kids can water with colorful cans.
Along with plants, look for interesting structures such as an early Grecian gazebo and a contemporary sculpture in the Vietnam Veterans' Garden. Additions in recent years include the King Shade Garden, a hosta and shade perennial glen with a stream and (fake) spring house ruin; and the Jenquine Overlook Garden of native plantings that affords views of the formal plantings from an opening in the woods.
Select Thursday evenings in July and August feature outdoor concerts free with admission, when you can find a small selection of food and beverages sold on-site.

The 250 GB is not the issue here. The 5 GB temporary limit is.
You need to figure out where your bandwidth is going. Patches for two computers don't amount anywhere near your 250GB cap, or even the extra 5GB you bought. Are you using bittorrent, Netflix or other streaming video services?
How much bandwidth will those two machines of yours be unknowingly burning through when they have crapware installed on them, because the fixes for long-known exploits still haven't been installed?
The two systems are solid so they're not leaking data via. crapware etc.
As I said, I've asked the 'rents to not stream any videos.
Hopefully the 5 GB will last 7 days - but I highly doubt it.

Honda reveals NSX Concept-GT
Turbo hybrid racer set to compete in next year's Super GT Series in Japan
Posted: 16 Aug 2013
This is the new Honda NSX Concept GT; a racing hybrid set to compete at Suzuka in next year's Super GT Series in Japan.
Bit of a monster, isn't it? But then the Super GT Series has traditionally given us drool-worthy monster racers in the past; who can forget the hideously cool and quite evil Honda HSV-010? This NSX then, is no different. Based on the NSX that made its debut at Detroit in January 2012 - and the car we can't wait to get our mitts on in the near future - we're told it's powered by a direct injection, turbocharged 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine, mounted in the middle, together with a 'racing hybrid system'.
If this hybrid system mirrors the upcoming road car's version in any way, then expect a pair of electric motors on the front wheels, and another snuggled into the gearbox to give the four-pot an extra kick. There will be brake energy regeneration, no doubt, but additional poweeerrr too.
There's the usual trick aero aids -on the front apron, the side sills, and that lovely, massive rear wing - along with a couple of side vents no doubt channeling air into the engine bay in the middle. Plus, there are the obligatory flared arches, zero ground clearance and a face that wants to hurt you.
Quite a long time to wait to see it in action then, so it had better be good - don't forget, Ayrton Senna was a fan of the original NSX (he even owned one himself), and showcased just how good it was via some prodigious talent and a pair of white socks.

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
During its first quarter century, the new United States government had to find its way in the world while attending to the nation's business. Leaders met with Indian nations and faced often-hostile relations with European powers while coping with conflicts between emerging political parties and working out relationships among the three new branches of government.
Taking Shape
As the newly established Senate defined its constitutional role, it continually tested its authority against that of the president and House of Representatives, seeking the proper balance.Senators irritated President George Washington by rejecting several of his nominations and by refusing to consent immediately to Indian treaties he supported. Though many had expected the Senate simply to refine the work of the House, it took the lead in many areas, including legislation dealing with courts, foreign affairs, and banking.
A Place for Debate and Decision
In this period, the Senate operated with a membership ranging from 22 to 36. Unlike the much larger House of Representatives, where opportunities for debate were necessarily limited, the Senate developed a tradition of leisurely and extended debate.
For Congress's first 125 years, state legislatures elected senators and often sent them instructions on how to vote. Most senators, however, preferred to make up their own minds. They met in secret before 1795, after which popular pressure forced them to admit the public. By the time the War of 1812 ended, the Senate stood ready to meet the challenges of an uncertain new era.
How would senators represent the citizens of their states? Under the Constitution, state legislatures (not voters) chose senators, who served longer terms than House members. The Senate gave each state an equal voice in Congress—regardless of its population. Critics of this system warned that the Senate might be too "aristocratic." Would senators be accountable? they asked. Would they fairly reflect public opinion?
The opposite point of view was given by James Madison, one of the principal framers of the Constitution. He feared that the larger, popularly elected House might too easily "yield to the impulse of sudden and violent passions." Madison argued that senators, serving longer terms and chosen by state legislatures, would be more shielded from popular whims and better able to counter such political frenzy until "reason, justice, and truth" again prevailed.
The Senate began work on April 6, 1789, when a majority of senators arrived, establishing a quorum, or the minimum number required to conduct business. Since they met behind closed doors, the senators needed a doorkeeper to guard their privacy. They chose James Mathers for this job on April 7 (later expanding his position to Doorkeeper and Sergeant at Arms).
The next day, Samuel Otis became Secretary of the Senate, responsible for keeping a journal, buying supplies, managing payrolls, and paying bills. Within three weeks, senators also elected their first chaplain: Samuel Provoost, the Episcopal bishop of New York. Choosing these officers laid the foundation for today's extensive Senate organization.
Winning independence from Britain did not end disputes between the two nations. Issues of trade and territory remained. To resolve these, President Washington sent Chief Justice John Jay to London in 1794. Even before Jay returned to America, angry rumors circulated speculating that the treaty he negotiated favored the British at the expense of American interests.
Following two months of bitter debate in 1795, the Senate approved Jay's Treaty with barely the required two-thirds majority. When a senator leaked the still-secret agreement to the press, angry mobs accused senators of signing a "death warrant to America's liberties." Those who had voted against the treaty became heroes. This split helped define America's first political parties—the Federalists, who approved the treaty, and the Jeffersonian Republicans. When the House made a bid to review the treaty, President Washington refused its request for documents, thereby reaffirming the Senate's exclusive role in approving treaties.
"A death warrant to America's liberties ..."
—Cry of protesters against Jay's Treaty, Summer 1795
Why meet in closed session? The Constitution does not require Congress to meet in public. The House of Representatives, elected directly by voters, immediately opened its doors to the public and press. Senators, originally chosen by state legislators, decided to meet in private, believing they could work more efficiently without public scrutiny and interference.
The earliest Senate Chambers, in New York City and Philadelphia, did not have visitors' galleries. The Senate decided to build a viewing area in 1794 after many state legislatures and newspapers demanded more openness. Beginning in 1795, the Senate debated legislative business (lawmaking) in open session but continued to discuss executive business (treaties and nominations) in closed sessions until 1929. Today, both houses of Congress conduct all debates in public sessions, except when discussing information that could risk national security.

In a pinch I like to eat PB&J for lunch. In order to begin restoring my bodies metabolic burn, is this something I should avoid?
I think as long as you treat it as an infrequent treat you'll be okay. I had it every other week or so in the beginning, now, rarely, without a conscious effort. Make sure you don't overdo the spread- I kept it down to 1 tablespoon when I did eat it.
If it's once a week maybe or less, then go ahead, it probably won't be that bad - provided you get the kind that is all peanut, no added oil, hydrogenated oil, sweetener, etc. If it's an everyday thing, then you'll probably want to cut it way back.

Hey loveyclub,
To add to the responses, this can be a highly individual affair. Depending on your weight and health issues, some people tolerate more - or less - nut butters than others. As for myself, I could happily pour peanut sauce over every meal! But it isn't compatible with my weight management goals, so I am prudent about it.
PB/J sammies can be a great reliable source of fuel on long plane-excursions. They seem to be indestructible and I'll take them when we are flying overseas. Another option is PB2, which defats the pb so you have some flavor without the calories. Yes, it's processed, but as a small portion of calories, if it means a need, can be a fun option in your kitchen arsenal.

Thank you for the help!
On to another product I discovered while looking for a supplement to my most coveted desert, ice cream, I found something called Rice Dream. It's pretty tasty stuff, but are there any drawbacks I should be aware of?
Sincerely,LoveyClub, Inc.
yeah. it probably has more fat and sugar than you want on a regular basis. If it's a special occasion (like dinner guests or the whole family is having ice cream for dessert...) it's not terrible. There's also a coconut milk So Delicious brand 'ice cream' that is really good (I like it better than the rice based ones)
What about vegan "cream cheese"?
Check the label - make sure it is casein-free (some non-dairy cheeses still contain this dairy-based protein) and check the fat and sodium content. As with most things, balance it against your own goals - if you're looking for weight loss, you might want to cut even faux cream cheese because of the fat content; if the sodium content is high (as most faux cheeses are), and you're watching blood pressure, might need to skip it; if you exercise vigorously and often, once in a while faux cheese is probably okay.
For "ice cream" try freezing a very ripe banana or two, then whipping it up in a good blender with a touch of nut milk to help it blend, a touch of liquid sweetener if you like, a drop or two of vanilla, maybe even a few frozen strawberries... yum!

I've been checking in on her regularly. Called her early this morning to check in - she passed out while I was on the phone with her! Thank goodness she lives just down the street and that I have keys to her house. Went over and she was too weak to get into the car, so I had to call for an ambulance. I thought, she's probably dehydrated. That theory fell through when one of the paramedics told me that he thought she'd gone into cardiac arrest for a moment and her heartbeat was extremely slow. I think her heart stopped a total of three times before they got her to the hospital and got a temporary pacemaker in her. That stabilized her enough for them to do surgery and put in a permanent one.
Jesus Christ. From zero heart problems to a pacemaker in 60 seconds. Ok, more like hours, but, you know. She's doing totally fine now and might even come home tomorrow. I probably lost a good 10 years of my life this morning. I see a lot of booze in my immediate future. Or cake. Or both. Boozy cake?
