We are intreested in the work and like to do what we can for the boys who have so nobly served their country and the world.

Win Awards in Speaking Contests The Sons of the Revolution in the sute of New York in order to stimu¬ late an interest in and a proper inter¬ pretation of the Revolutionary period have oflered prizes to the high echoo' students of the State in an essay con¬ test. Those competing must be stu¬ dents of American History and be ranked as regular seniors. The sub¬ ject of the contest is "The Attitude of the Earl of Chatham, Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox toward the American Colonies." The contestants in Freeport High School were Miss Mary Baker, Mis Ruth Brayton, Miss Margperite Glov¬ er, Miss Marian Hague and Miss Hel en Kremelberg. All of the essays that were submitted to Principal Jer- nings show that these students had done much careful and valuable read¬ ing on the subject. The Sons of the •f^volution stipulate that only the two beat essays shall be sent to them. It haa been judged that the two best are the essays of Miss Marian Hague and Miss Helen Kremelberg.

Give them a precious store of valuable and helpful memories by sending them to the Sun¬ day School. Bible truth developes character and helps in every way.

Our church is backing the Northern Baptist Laymen's Campaign for six million dollars as a working fund for this year, and something is said about it in each service to show the scope of this movement and its splendid ob¬ jectives. The church hopes to do more than its apportionment this year and we are in it to help all we can. Let every member get the larger vision and do his part Helpful literature telling the story of this drive may be obtained at the church. A beautiful poster gives an outline of the plan which will wind up in victory March 31, 1919.

Sidney Gould, pastor of the Preabyterian Church, cerUmly found a welcome from hia congregation and frienda when he appeared in the pul¬ pit laat Snnday for the first time since laat September. On the 22nd of that month Mr. Gould had an attack of what the doc¬ tor seemed to think was the result of long continued nervous strain. He did not name it. but prescribed a long rest The congregation gave the pas¬ tor leave of absence aa long as might be required. Mr. Gould left Freeport on Septem¬ ber 27 and lastVriday was the first time he has been on the streets of our village since. Apparently the long stay in the South has been beneficial for he preached two sermons on Sunday with olid-time vigor to large congregations that came out to welcome their pas¬ tor home. In the moming the theme was "Faith's Sustaining Power from the text, "I had fainted unless I had be¬ lieved to see the goodness of God in the land of the living." Emphasis was laid on the fact that faith ex- l)ects some of its fuits in this life and that the result of believing is to sus¬ tain effort, hope and ideals. That God is good and his goodness is the believ- er.s' sure rock of security. "he choir and organist and solpists had all united to make the service es¬ pecially rich and appropriate to so threat a degree that the pastor public; ly commended them. And the evening service was equal¬ ly noteworthy. The number gathered to worship was quite as large as in the morning and thc music equally f.-.ie. Thc pastor preached on Roose velt as exemplifying Robust Ameri¬ canism. "We have come," he said, "to be a people who are conscious of our strength, who stand on our two feet without swagger or bombast. We stand to protect the streams of our life from pollution. The roots of our American life reach down into the an¬ cient Anglo-Saxon soil together with the roots of the English. We hold many, in fact, most of our moral and intellectual foundations in common with them. Our ideas of justice, of the value of human life and our prin¬ ciples of democracy are all direct growths from Anglo-Saxon roots. The adventurous pioneer, hard conditioned life incident to subduing a new coun¬ try and organizing it into the mighti¬ est most resourceful nation on earth had resulted in a habit of thought and action that was distinctively Ameri¬ can. This habit and action Theodore Roosevelt incarnated and exemplified more completely than any other American of our day and generation. His usefulness was vastly augmented by the cosmopolitan character he ac¬ quired by his birth and developed by training. He was able largely to be¬ come a national leader by the breadth of his knowledge and sympathies. It is a pity that we must lose him when his experience in technical state¬ craft, his courageous tongue and his shrewd penetrating wisdom would have been of such incalculable value to us.' Aft»>r each service the members of thfe congregation came forward masse to greet the pastor and wel¬ come him home.

I just wrote this review for another site.. In a thread about good books to read. I've never written a review before, so i wanted to know what you all thought of it. Damn.. I forgot to mention it's not necessary to read the books in order. Oh well.
I'm busy rereading 'The Johnny Maxwell Trilogy' by Terry Pratchett. A brilliant series, allegedly childrens' stories, in about the same way 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is a childrens' story.
The first book, 'Only You Can Save Mankind' is about a normal boy named Johnny who, like every other boy his age, tries to find time to blow up aliens on his computer sometime in between homework and bed... Except, most boys don't get a message from the aliens saying "We wish to talk". Johnny ends up trying to save the entire alien race from the humans who are wiping them out.
In the second book, 'Johnny and the Dead', Johnny, while walking home through a graveyard, knocks on a tomb door at the bet of his friend, and someone answers the door. He discovers that 'post senior citizens' (it turns out to be politically incorrect to call them ghosts) aren't so bad.. But they ~are~ upset when they discover that their graveyard is about to be destroyed by a company that bought the plot for 5p. Johnny finds himself trying to stop a decision that's already been made..
In the third book, which i've just started reading, Johnny notices that the old lady who pushes her trolley around town used to be an old lady pushing her trolley around town even when his grandfather was a boy.. He realizes something's wrong with this picture, especially since the old lady looks younger than his grandfather. Things ~really~ start happening when he touches one of the black bags in her trolley and finds himself going back in time..
The whole series is typical Pratchett, that is to say, you find yourself laughing out loud so much while reading these books you almost don't notice they're sneaking some serious deep thoughts onto you. By the time you reached the end of each book, you'll probably realize a few Truths about Life and People. You'll also probably always feel guilty at killing aliens in a computer game and never find the concept of ghosts scary again.

Cruise Nunatsiavut in Labrador to experience unique aboriginal culture and breathtaking Arctic scenery. Find yourself in the adventures and mysteries of the Labrador Inuit as you cruise through their homeland.
The Northern Ranger ferry service links the small, remote communities of Nunatsiavut during the summer months with a 5-day return trip: Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Nain. Passengers have a choice of accommodations ranging from a dormitory bunk to a deluxe cabin with ensuite.
The return trip affords you a rare opportunity to learn the history and culture of this region and the Labrador Inuit lifstyle. During each community visit you will witness how vibrant traditions and culture resonate within modern communities; all under the backdrop of a wild and majestic sub-arctic Labrador environment that profoundly contrasts with the island of Newfoundland.

A local couple explored every kilometre of the East Coast Trail. All 265 of them. Living in Portugal Cove, they had convenient access to the East Coast Trail -- but never lost their entusiasm and sense of awe as they travelled in just past their own backyard.

There is an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment when you can cross something off your bucket list. This happened to me at the Iceberg Festival in St. Anthony, Newfoundland where I came within six feet of an iceberg. As someone who has been born and raised in Toronto, icebergs were something that I only saw in commercials for Alaskan boat cruises.

We recently took my brother and his wife on a tour of the Northern Peninsula and their goals were seeing moose, whales and icebergs and we scored 100% on all counts. Bruce and Mary Ellen had been here over 20 years ago and at that time they had their 3 young children in tow which meant that most of our activities were close to our home in Corner Brook. We headed north on highway 430 (the Viking Trail) on Saturday, July 13 and made a stop at the scenic Arches before having a picnic lunch at Flowers Cove.

It's not often that mere mortals can afford to stay in the same luxurious lodgings where royalty once slept. And when those accommodations also boast intriguing links to the ocean liner Titanic, the chances seem remote indeed.
27 Jan 2012 by Kate Jewer in Icebergs , Whale Watching and Parks
One Friday morning this past August we started our journey to the Great Northern Peninsula in search of what everyone was talking about, the icebergs that broke off of the Petermann Glacier in August, 2010. Iceberg season on the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland typically begins in late May however it was closer to the end of July before icebergs began to arrive this year. These late arrivals were due to the 280 square kilometre ice island that broke off of the Petermann Glacier near Greenland last August. The late arrival was not the only surprise this year, the sheer size and large number of bergs was also quite astonishing. Reports indicated that over seventy-five icebergs could be seen in the St Anthony area and that's what we were setting out to see.
12 Sep 2011 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Icebergs and Kayaking
This is the iceberg season that just won't stop! The Petermann Ice Island which I wrote about in several earlier posts in mid August, 2011 is now making its appearance closer to Corner Brook. Not long after we were in St. Anthony the ice island drifted to the south and broke in half. These 2 pieces have been spawning icebergs that have now drifted into the Hampden area of White Bay.
19 Aug 2011 by Kurt Turchan in Hiking & Walking , Icebergs , Nature , Culture , History and Geography
On the last leg of their adventure, the hikers from TrailPeak.com saw the wreck of a ship from the early 1900s, whalebones, and a slew of icebergs.

At 7:30 am on Sunday August 13, 2011, I peered out the window at the Hotel North in St. Anthony and the fog was so thick I couldn't see across the parking lot. "I guess our 9:00 am boat trip is going to be scrubbed," I told my wife Heather. But a few minutes later she pulled back the curtains and said she could see across the harbour.
18 Aug 2011 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Icebergs , Nature and Top Destinations
Who would have guessed that an event in Greenland a little over a year ago would bring tourists flooding to the St. Anthony area this summer? On August 5, 2010, a large piece of the Petermann Glacier broke off and became an "ice island" measuring 280 square km in size. A year later it has worked its way south and is now off of St. Anthony at the tip of the Northern Peninsula.
18 Aug 2011 by Kurt Turchan in Hiking & Walking , Icebergs , Nature , Culture , History , Trip Planning , Geography and Top Destinations
This week, the hikers from TrailPeak.com saw 10,000-year-old icebergs, and visited historic Battle Harbour, a restored fishing village that thrived over the last three centuries.
22 Jul 2011 by Guest Blogger in Hiking & Walking , Icebergs , Whale Watching and Culture
On July 26 – give or take a day or two, depending on weather conditions – about a dozen two-person teams will take the helms of small wooden boats called punts and row 10 miles across open ocean off Newfoundland, Canada.

We innocently asked our waitress at the Tuckamore Lodge in Main Brook, Newfoundland, where we might get some good photos of moose after dinner. "Well you won't need to go too far. I would simply head back on the road you just came in on and drive a few kilometres back toward Roddickton."

Told by Stonewall patrons, journalists and the cop who led the raid, "Stonewall Uprising" recalls the bad old days when psychoanalysts equated homosexuality with mental illness and advised aversion therapy, and even lobotomies. A treasure-trove of archival footage vividly depicts this all-too-recent reality, a time when Mike Wallace announced on a 1966 CBS Reports: "The average homosexual, if there be such, is promiscuous. He is not interested in, nor capable of, a lasting relationship like that of a heterosexual marriage." At the height of this oppression, a routine police raid on the Stonewall triggered nights of pandemonium with tear gas, billy clubs and a small army of tactical police.

What is Listology?
The short answer to the question above is this: Listology is a repository of movie, book, music, television and other lists.
Creating lists couldn't be easier; you just create an ID, write up your list, and hit "Save."
If you're just here to browse, have a look at the recent activity on the site, or use the box to the left to search for your favorite movie (or book, etc.). If you're having a hard time getting started, here's some Favorite Movie By Genre lists.

Listology Spam BrigadeSubmitted by heyrocker on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 10:09
So the spam situation here has gotten pretty bad, as many of you have perhaps noticed. The service I use (Mollom) helps a lot but not completely, and I am trying to avoid adding CAPTCHA to all submissions because I know a lot of people find it irritating. I don't think it would help much anyways, a lot of the spam these days is actually done by real human beings who get paid pennies per comment posted on websites with decent Google rankings. A while ago I deputized AJDaGreat to help as spam cop, giving him the ability to delete spam comments and block spammers. However he has been busy lately and is about to go into law school, therefore I am looking for some volunteers to help out. If you are an active Listology member in good standing and would like to help killing spam, leave a comment and I will get in touch.

Wish List for LEGO
There will be some important LEGO Mindstorms individuals in Atlanta for the FLL tournament, April 12-15. It is my intention to take all the comments and suggestions here and present them to these visitors. So far, we've received some great suggestions for new products, upgrades, improvements, etc... please keep them coming. And PLEASE do read through the existing comments to avoid posting the same ideas. While it does give me an idea of how popular a suggestion is, this isn't the purpose of this post (right now). Thank you! - Jim
I don't know why I haven't done this sooner, but after reading some forum postings and emails from NXT users, I figure it's time to create a Wish List. As with most Wish Lists, they don't always come true.
In a few weeks I'll forward a compilation of this post's comments to LEGO. So, tell the world what you'd like to see in terms of future NXT developments and/or Mindstorms products, software, books, etc...
[Keep it realistic - I'm not seeing LEGO investing any time or research or money on "Turbine engine" or "Seismic sensor" - but they would be cool, huh?]
I'll start:
1. A larger variety of motors
2. Individually packaged Remote Control Kit (with BT control for 3 or more motors)
3. ...

Yep... LEGO listens through their many levels of filters. This posting reminds me of a looong discussion that was started in the old LEGO MindStorms Forums back in 1999. http://club.lego.com/messageboards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=138838
But, although a couple of my own wishes have been produced by HiTechnic...Here is another:
An Official LEGO Wireless Video Camera. With very good resolution.
- Mar 14, 2007, 3:22:00 AM
a stand-alone rotation sensor.

Not exactly NXT, but we all know how technic and Mindstorms are like chocolate & milk. I can"t count all the "where do you get those pneumatics at" question at "NXT Log". These are things they have made but dont sell no more. The price of this stuff at other sources has trippled so there is money to be made.
So here is my wish list:
1. A comprehensive pneumatic kit or supplemental kit.
2. BIG tires like the ones from the "Power Puller" set.
3. Longer treads that are one piece rubber.
4. Rubber add on pads for the new treads from the snowmobile kit.(I made my own but it was ALOT of work)

Biggest wish -- More technical elements available through the Pick A Brick Shop at Home site. We should be able to order gears, gear racks, beams, connectors, turntables, etc. individually rather than in packaged sets. I've gotten way too many "useless" parts while having to collect the few useful parts I need.
- Mar 14, 2007, 4:33:00 AM
- Jim German said...
A couple of comments on the other wishes, and some of my own.
A camera with a very good resolution would end up being very expensive, and really not all that useful without some fancy software. The software would be both expensive to develop and difficult to program.
222doc: the tires in the Dune buggy set are only a little bit smaller than the Power Puller ones (94x44 vs 106x49) They should be big enough for most uses.
I want the NXT to have some sort of non-properitary expandable media slot (like SD).
I also wish for more pieces that allow the studless beams to attach at different angles 45/90 in a extremely sturdy way.
- Mar 14, 2007, 5:24:00 AM
more memory!
- Mar 14, 2007, 6:02:00 AM
Lego already came up with this strange connectors for NXT, so my two wishes are:
1) that they stick to their new connectors in future sets they release, and
2) any future component (motor/sensor/batery pack, whatever, to be fully NXT compatible

What about a new micro motor?
- Mar 14, 2007, 6:30:00 AM
- Steckmann said...
1. a new firm ware so you can use moter ports for sensors and sensor ports for motors.
2. small moter like the ones that came with the rcx but stronger, or just a wide sulection of motors
3. plug jumpdrives in to the nxt and run the programs from the jumpdrive
4. better wires
5. a wireless camera
- Mar 14, 2007, 8:14:00 AM
- Maniac... said...
1. A new micro motor. Not as small as the last one, and easier to incorporate into studless building.
2. Parts kits. Gear packs, suspension packs, liftarm packs. They have some of these already.
3. I think Jim Mentioned this a ways back in one of his Dear Lego letters: Black NXT. I can't help but drool when I make an NXT image negative, purple and black, nice.
4. SD card or some way to get a USB drive to work directly with the NXT.
5. GPS sensor. Costly, but if they could give it the electronics to communicate with the NXT, that would be fun!

For FLL robots, it would be very useful to be able to order packages of very short wires, such as a 10-pack of 4" wires, and a 10-pack of 2" wires.
My students also love the right-angle peg pieces (I think it's called Technic Beam 5 Bent 90 (3:3) with 4 Pins part 55615). I would like to buy a package of 50 or 100 (since we have 4 NXT kits).
- Mar 14, 2007, 11:42:00 AM
I definitely agree: There needs to be a remote control kit!
- Mar 14, 2007, 12:30:00 PM
GPS sensor, memory card slot for the brick, and (ok, don't laugh) a solar battery recharge kit. How cool would that be if you could build something with that and then have a long range/long duration contest!?!? Heck, we could build a Mars explorer for NASA at a fraction of the cost!!! :-)

Wireless camera with machine vision software that can recogize:
1. Simple 2D shapes & simple custom designed 2D shapes
2. Colours
3. Basic facial expressions (happy, sad, etc.)
The vision system can also determine where (1), (2), and (3) are located in its field of sight.
Speech generator
Speech recognition to recognize simple words, like "yes", "no", "go", and "stop".
120 degree angle studless beams
Friction ridges for the "1 long" pins with a stud. (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=4274 but make with friction ridges)

- Mar 14, 2007, 3:57:00 PM
- Larry Langellier said...
I want to second an earlier comment - a standalone rotation sensor would be nice. I'm developing some datalogging science experiments using the NXT and the rotation sensors in the motors have too much friction for many of my purposes.
I know we can use the old rotation sensors. If I got guidance from LEGO that those old sensors will be the permanent "NXT" solution then I'd be fine with investing in those (but I'd hate to buy a bunch and then have actual NXT ones come out).

On the Software side: an action language for NXT-G.
NXT-G programming is clumsy because you have to lay down low-level logic like value comparison, number incremenation and the likes in a very costly graphical manner. This inflates NXT-G programs extremely without providing real value - on the contrary, it makes the programs hard to read and creating complex programs a drudgery.
So I'd like to see NXT-G providing the ability to plug-in simple low-level program logic in a textual way - it's much easier to write "a = a+1" than using two variable and a math block for that.
- Mar 14, 2007, 9:00:00 PM
MY NXT Wish List
1. More on-board memory in the brick.
2. Better bluetooth compatibility (right now it's a shot in the dark).
3. Updates to NXT-G. I would like a zoom out feature and some bug fixes.
- Mar 15, 2007, 12:27:00 AM
- Andy said...
I want (1) a BT remote control, (2) smaller servos (with built in rotation sensor if possible, (3) a zoom-in and zoom-out function in the next version of NXT-G (coming this summer :-), (4) a backlighted screen in a newer verion of NXT, (5) a stand alone pack with the "Hassenplugs", (6) a new firmaware/driver with possibility for use with RobotC, (7) a rotation sensor in a NXT sensor style housing (like the old one just in a NXT style sensor housing), (8) a upgrade of the block import/export wizard with the possibility of deleting imported blocks without having to go into the hard disk (HDD), (9) more NXT official instructions (just for fun :-) and (10) support for a extra memory device using either BT or the USB port (would need a new firmware though).
Just my wishlist ;P...
- Mar 15, 2007, 12:59:00 AM
This ideas are all great and I hope them come up from Lego. But they must be avaible in America AND Europe.
- Mar 15, 2007, 2:23:00 AM
I posted this problem a few months ago. I would like the logic changed on the NXT brick so that when you back out of one program, one push of the right arrow takes you to the next program you have saved. As it is now, you are put at the beginning of the list of programs. This is annoying for FLL, when most robots run 6-8 programs in a certain order each time. After I run program 4, I want to go on to program 5, not start over at program 1. I hope I have explained this well enough. If not, I will look up my previous blog in the archives to reference.

I would like to second the call for Pneumatics. Right now, there are two or three sets available in the US that have any pneumatics in them at all, and they are huge sets with very few pneumatic parts. And none of them have an air tank. Right now, air tanks are going for 10 bucks a pop on Bricklink, if Lego wanted to make some money, they would make pneumatic parts readily available. Lego Education is an example of what I would like, but they don't have air tanks. Or small pistons (or small pumps, one or the other)
So, Lego, Pneumatics!

I would like to see an alternative text-based programming language in
addition to the already included programming language (that is, NXT-G.) The latter language is great for young kids but not so for older kids, the programmers
of the future.
The alternative language does not have to be C-like or NBC-like. I think Lua language is a very good choice for near-non programmers. If interested, visit lua.org . I am not talking about pbLua which requires a custom firmware.
Instead, like RobotC or NXC, use Lua syntax to develop a "very next to NXT-G" text-based language.

Software issues:
1. allow NXT-G blocks to change number of drawers and type of data wires.
2. add floating point variables to firmware and all blocks
Hardware issues:
1. Allow connecting several NXT units via port 4 RS485 and have them act as one unit (i.e. you only program one "Master" which appears to have say 6 inputs and 6 outputs for 2 NXTs)
2. Transparent connection to Power Function IR rechiever, control of PF motors from NXT-G

I would like to second some body's wish for a RF sensor. I think - while it would have less options than Mindsensors IR remote with PS2 (it was PS2 wasn't it?) - it would be a great addition to be able to remote control your NXT with only Lego piece. It should probably come with it's own remote.
But then, a Bluetooth remote comes before that.

1. Upgrade LEGO Digital Designer to NXT
2. Get FLL to post building instructions for all activity models like they did the first few years.
3. Spin off a referred version of NXTLOG that includes building instructions for models and a software repository.
- Mar 15, 2007, 9:26:00 AM
1. An H-Bridge motor driver to control the black Technic high current motors.
2. An NXT bright white LED light
3. 1/2 L thick "lift arm" studless piece that has 4 holes in a 2x2 matrix (overall size is 2L x 2L x 0.5L thick)
4. Make "Hassenplugs" with better friction ridges to allow for a tighter fit in holes.
5. Make the following piece with a stronger cross axel insert (currently they break really easily) See: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=6536 for the piece
6. A Technic pin with a soft rubber tip/head on the end (the rubber tip and pin are permanently fused together) - this would be perfect for finger grips and feet.
7. A device to send electrical signals through a rotating turntable (so the wires don't tangle) - such as slip ring assembly
- Mar 15, 2007, 11:20:00 AM
Additional NXT-G Program improvements: 1) Allow data wires in Wait and Loop blocks, 2) Allow users to get rid of the Robo Center window when the program starts -- after using this for 9 months, I don't need to see simple building ideas every time I start the program! 3) Allow users to move and remove blocks from the existing pallets and to create their own pallets, 4) Fix the bugs with the sequence beam. When programs get big, it seems to have a mind of it's own, 5) For that matter, have the sequence beam automatically move down a row when the program reaches the right edge of the screen, 6) Allow comments to be attached to blocks, so if you add a block, you don't have to move all subsequent comments, 7) Have a paste command that puts the cut or copied blocks where you want them, instead of just somewhere on the screen, 8) Give users access to the vi's so they can modify them, e.g. the motor synchronization is nice, but it isn't accurate enough.

I want to see a "gang" touch sensor. One input to the brick multiplexed to (up to) four touch sensors. Each touch sensor would send a different value to the program.
How about the old ability to stack the old wire-bricks?

Jim German (et al),
"A camera with a very good resolution would end up being very expensive, and really not all that useful without some fancy software. The software would be both expensive to develop and difficult to program."
Realistically, hardly true...We paid $99+ US dollars years ago for a Vision Command package. New updated software and hi-res camera hardware could be produced for less and sold for less these days.
I know this may not be of "LEGO" quality...but, I purchased the super small 9volt RF (wireless) color video camera with sound and receiver equipment for $37 USD that Jim had blogged about last year. The resolution is clearer than that of the wired Vision Command camera.
While LEGO may agree with either of us...The fact remains that we would buy the package if LEGO produces one regardless of price (or resolution)!
- Mar 15, 2007, 11:41:00 PM
the one thing we need is WIRELESS NXT CORDS!That would make life so much easier!
I agree that their should be text-based programming as well.

In a class environment or hallway with ambient noise, it is very difficult to hear the NXT. More volume or a headphone jack to a small external speaker would be appreciated.

A RF sensor that can scan for RF devices such as a remote control,IR sensor that can scan for IR devices like tv remotes and take inputs from tv remotes for example volume up motor a goes 1 rotation,build your own sensor kit with no soldering bread board will do but i need the female sockets.
- Mar 16, 2007, 12:48:00 AM
Multiplexed small touch sensors. This would be ideal for bumpers or homing switches etc...
A GPS sensor isn't really practical at the NXT scale as the resolution is not near high enough to accurately gauge position of something so small. If you look at your handheld GPS unit, which is only slightly smaller than the NXT, it only has accuracy to about a meter which is good enough for driving your car and guiding certain missiles but not an NXT.
So instead of GPS an entire inertial navigation system would be ideal. It should combine three axis gyros, for roll, pitch and yaw, along with three axis accelerometers for X, Y, Z accel. Then you would know exactly where your NXT was in 3D. I know Hitechnic and Mindsensors have all the components necessary but they are separate and rather expensive currently.
- Mar 16, 2007, 12:49:00 AM
There are a lot of wishes for more pneumatics, but what about an electrical NXT control for pneumatics? Personally I find it hard build something useful with NXT and pneumatics with only 3 output ports on the NXT. The problem gets even worse when we are not talking about static constructions because the power/weight ratio is small when using the NXT motors to control pneumatics.
Best LEGO regards,

not a trouble at all i built a pneumatic+ all needed other functiions using only two ports& two motors. with a video to prove its functioning 6 functions and can function as many switches as one could need. at this time i have a project soon to handle 8 pneumatics swithes and 4 mechanical. all off of two motors. it can be done we have Legos.
- Mar 16, 2007, 4:41:00 AM
1. A touch sensor that can detect a variable force (or "feel") - great for grippers to know how strong they are gripping something
2. Create a block in NXT-G that can detect the current draw from the servos so one can know how much torque is applied by the servos.
3. Speech generator and word recognition external unit that plugs into the NXT and has its own dedicated speaker (louder than the NXT's), RJ-12 input jack for the NXT sound sensor (to act as a mike), and 3.5 mm output jack.
4. NXT can be triggered "awake" by a computer or other NXT's via BT.
5. NXT Vision System that is BT - all the heavy computing is done on a computer, and the NXT is only feed the computational results.
- Mar 16, 2007, 5:31:00 AM
Wow, wish list, ok....
more motors, different sizes, with universal connectivity via wires or adapter. A led lamp. Better sound sensor. Perhaps a sensor with 2 mics and a little electronic comparitor onboard? Anyway thats hi-tecks department.
The software is great for small programs and I find it extremley easy to program, but lets face it, it needs some patching! Needs to fix the broken wire issue(officially), startup options, zoom is a must, direct control functions (GEEZE), ya know like a joystick and a little info panel for displaying messages from NXT, or varibles, sensors. I have to use other programs for that, which is fine.
As for NXT2,
More memory, more ports, wireless lan card(lol), usb port to accept standard memory card, a dedicated port to connect to another NXT2, built in mic, IR, speaker, and light for screen.
Thanks and keep up the good work lego!

I am very happy with the nxt, but I don't like the wires. The plastic tabs seem like they will break, and the wires seem to get in the way much more often than the old RCX ones. Besides, the ability to connect multiple wires to one port is removed. Since LEGO is going studless with NXT, I think a wire connection using a friction pin and hole setup would be great. Still, I don't want to have to replace all my sensors or buy adapters, so maybe that's not such a good idea.
I got a lot of pneumatic parts for my birthday, but I have trouble using them because there are no electric switches! This would be great.
Also, a true voice recognition sensor with programmable commands (like Nintendogs ;)) Would be very useful.

1) Better bluetooth support. I had a HUGE pile of hassles to make my BlueTooth adapter work. And if I change OS, I think all that will fail again.
2) More IO ports. The VEX allows you to mix and match the ports. This would be nice with the NXT as well.
3) Smaller motors. If I want to build a 5 DOF arm, it has to be HUGE to accommodate the motor size.
4) Ability to buy more of the technic parts individually (like tracks).
- Mar 16, 2007, 10:02:00 PM
Stepper motors! These would allow you to have the NXT turn the motor a few degrees at a time with out needing to go through a feedback loop with the encoders like in the current motors.
I'd also 2nd the notion of solenoids for the pneumatics.

What I want from LEGO is to have their existing products in stock.
LEGO apparently has some supply chain issues with some of their products. This may be due to an outsourcing of much of their supply chain. (Go to "superfactory.com" and search for "LEGO" to learn more).
Some of LEGO's products are out-of-stock for months (and months).

I second more IO ports, or multiplexors/hubs to extend existing ports. mindsensors are already building such things. I also second pressure/multi level touch sensor. And indeed, it would be great if additional technics motors are compatible with the NXT. I promise to buy a kit just for the motors :-)

Hmm, is it just me, or the wait for time block? I don't think it has a data hub. So you either hard-code the time to wait, or tinker with timers.

Here is what I want:
1. Backlit color screen with higher resolution.
Status: not yet
2. Device to control PF motors without using IR.
Status: The PF motors haven't been released yet, maybe they'll introduce this at the same time.
3. Easier-to-mount motors. The current ones' shape makes mounting difficult.
Status: You can use the old studded motors or wait for the PF motors. Neither have encoders.
4. Voice recognition and synthesis.
Status: I don't know of anything like this yet.
5. Analog touch sensor. Measures how hard it's being pushed.
Status: Techno-Stuff has a force sensor that measures 1-15 newtons.
6. More ports for motors and sensors.
Status: Both HiTechnic and Mindsensors have muxes for both, but there are no more ports on the NXT.
7. Bring back pneumatics. They are really useful.
Status: Currently there is only one set with pneumatic parts, the 8421 Mobile Crane, with a large pump. a switch, and two large pistons.
8. Make solenoid valves for pneumatics to allow easier NXT control.
Status: Techno-Stuff had them, but they are no longer available. I don't know of any current source for them.
9. External memory and more internal memory. Also the ability to copy files between them, ie to transfer to another brick. The external memory could be a USB flash drive or a flash card like SD.
Status: I believe the USB port is configured as a slave in hardware, so new firmware can't let you use USB flash drives. The NXT currently has no card slot. I2C memory is possible, but it has to be accessed from a program stored on the NXT.
10. A small limited-range-of-motion servo, like a RC servo. This could be used for steering.
Status: Nothing official yet, but you could mod an RC servo.
11. A wireless camera and vision software.
12. Multi-protocol IR support, for TV remotes and RCX communication.
Status: HiTechnic has the iRLink, formerly the Bridge, for communicating with the RCX, but it doesn't support other protocols and is not available at the time of this writing. Mindsensors has the NRLink-Nx, which is available now and also controls trains.
13. An IRPD sensor. The US sensor is good, but it sometimes gets interference. This also happens with IRPDs. Each is better at different things.
Status: I had thought Mindsensors had IRPDs, but now there appear to be none on the site.
14. Standalone rotation sensors. There are places where these would be good, where you only need to sense rotation without being able to turn it, and without the size and friction of the motors.
Status: The old rotation sensors are the only option right now. They require converter cables and studded beams.
15. A laser proximity sensor.
Status: Probably never due to danger of eye damage.
16. A gyro sensor.
Status: Accelerometer sensors are available, but I haven't seen any gyros.
17. Propellers that actually move air, as opposed to the current decorative ones.
Status: None yet that I know of, but there are Mega Bloks (a Lego-compatible cheap knockoff of Lego) props.
18. Rubber pads for the plastic treads, and pins with soft rubber on one end. The pins could actually be used instead of the pads.
Status: 222doc has made the pads.
19. Strong non-pneumatic linear actuators.
Status: John Barnes of HiTechnic came up with a brass leadscrew used by Jennifer Clark, but he does not appear to be selling them to the general public.
20. Temperature sensor.
Status: The old one is still usable, but there is no NXT version yet.

I also would like to see LEGO LED lamps that are small, studless, and can be attached to a liftarm via a pin or axel. They should be multi-coloured so one could create "rainbow" effects, but also be able to remain on one colour if needed. (Emit the full colour spectrum: red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, pink, white, etc.) I would like to be able to use them in a matrix arrangement to create cool light designs via the NXT.
Uses could include a scrolling message display, animated figures/shapes (a simple tv or monitor), or even the creation of a robot face that can produce various expressions (blue eyes = happy, eyes turn red = angry).

I have been looking for a new lego kit with pneumatics, it is very difficult to find them. I've been thinking, are they still available in stores? If they are then why are the pnueumatic kits so expensive?(At places like ebay and amazon.com) I have found few kits avilable for less than $50.00 and don't want spend more than that.
- May 25, 2007, 9:52:00 AM
I would like for Lego to still suport the 1000s of people that still use the RCX. And I would like to buy lego pneumatics by the dozen. And finaly I would like to have a RCX/NXT RF reciver and transmiter/remote.
P.S. Dos any one know were I can find instrutions for a pneumatic engine? Thanks.

Year-End Wrap-Up: The 10 Best Novels Of 2011
This was a terrific year for fiction and a particularly strong year for first-time novelists. Some of the literary debutantes who glide through this "10 best" list are so young, their wisdom teeth probably haven't had time to become impacted yet. Majestically bringing up the rear of the procession are some much-decorated veterans whose sustained achievements in fiction should ensure that the young 'uns don't rest too comfortably on their laurels.

Integrated Engineering valve Guides are the performance option for replacing factory guides for new valves. In performance head builds, factory guides are prone to excessive wear resulting in premature valve failures. To combat these issues our valve guides are made from a specialized alloy on our in house CNC lathe with ultra high concentricity for exact valve placement and precise dimensions. Using a proprietary bronze alloy results in faster heat dissipation where thermal conductivity is increased by 10% and extends valve life, guide life, and cylinder head component life. For added performance, these valve guides have been designed with an aerodynamic tip designed to cut down on airflow restrictions in the valve port.

Not sure if there isnt enough support or sponsors for them to come down here again, but I just wish theyd come down already. I can see they have nothing...
Well, I got my new Ianez five string recently and it's the best!! It sounds 1,000% better than my other bass and it works perfectly! And to make it better, I finally got a lock on strap so when I play it like Fieldy does, it won't come up and smack me in the face like my other one did... it's also one of my favorite colors (neon green).

DeFUNIAK SPRINGS — Mary Hall refused to get out of bed the first few days she was at Chautauqua Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
But when she heard about the center's unusual pet, she found herself wandering outside at least once a day to get a peek and give a head scratch.
"Shelley is just wonderful," the 65-year-old Hall said as she watched the African spur thigh tortoise slowly make its way to a grassy patch in the rehab center's courtyard.
"I just love to come and see Shelley and watch her. I think she's very therapeutic," Hall added.
GALLERY: Shelley the Tortoise. >>
VIDEO: Shelley the tortoise at Chautauqua Rehab & Nursing.>>
Nonie Celeste of Nonie's Ark Animal Encounters donated the tortoise to the center. She said the attention and love is just what the 15-year-old, 35-pound tortoise needs. Celeste found the tortoise about five years ago wandering down State Road 20.
"It's been great getting to share her with the residents," Celeste said. "She's getting a lot more attention than I could ever give her, and the residents are really enjoying having her."
Brandy Meredith, an occupational therapist and self-proclaimed tortoise wrangler, said most residents love watching Shelley. Some others are afraid and one recalls cooking tortoise soup.
"She makes this place feel like home," Meredith said as she lured Shelley out of her shelter with a bowl of food. "It's a little difficult because it's a 35-pound tortoise, but it just makes the place feel homey."
Residents look out the windows to the courtyard every day waiting for Shelley to venture out of her small shelter. As soon as she appears, a crowd gathers.
"This is something you just don't find everywhere," said 93-year-old Sarah Flow, who sat by a window and kept her eyes glued to the courtyard. "I've sat here so many times just watching Shelley and watching the people come and go, wanting to see her.
"She just crawls all over."
Shelley gets more attention than any animal could hope for. She regularly gets her neck and head scratched and her eyes rubbed. Most days she gets a cocoa butter treatment on her head.
"She's just as sweet as she can be and good. She's so good," said 82-year-old Dolores Messer. "Of course, she always wants more to drink and more to eat, but I think she's just fine.
"If I didn't have anybody else but her, I'd like to say I'd be happy."

The new 650b (27.5") mountain bikes are the next big thing and the Nashbar Bee's Knees Single Speed 650b mountain bike is a perfect example of why. The Bee's Knees Single Speed has the benefits of a 29er without the draw backs. Its bigger wheel size (27.5") means you can roll over stuff that would stop most 26" MTB's, but it is smaller and more nimble than a full-size 29er bike. It's a sweetly spec'd, super simple bike at a value you won't find anywhere else.
But don't just take our word about the Bee's Knees, here's a nice review from Dirt Rag!
"The Bee's Knees is a simple, fully rigid singlespeed with working man's components that, while on the entry-level side, will likely last a while. Notably, the Alex XD-Lite rims, Kenda Nevegal 27.5 tires and FSA Hammer headset all took a beating and remain ready to handle more...
"Overall, this bike is a perfect starter for anyone who wants to jump into the 27.5 wheel category and is a great value at $500."

Comments about Nashbar Bee's Knees Single-Speed 650B/27.5" Mountain Bike:
I am very pleased with the bees knees SS 650b. I've been riding it for a few months now, and with a few basic upgrades, it rides quite nicely. Right off the bat the bars and seat need attention. The bars are too narrow for ascending hills and the saddle is about as soft rock wrapped with a dish towel. Spent about $50 to upgrade these. I found the 32/18 gearing to be a bit difficult at times so I swapped the rear with a 20T. $15 investment. I personally have no problem with the bb5 brakes. I find they have plenty of stopping power. The bottom line: Great starting point for a SS mtb. The bike is well built and a few inexpensive upgrades make the riding experience even more enjoyable. Keep in mind that nashbar often has 20% off entire order days so you can get a nice discount on this sweet ride.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great XC Bike
By Steel is Real
from Boulder,CO
I use this Bike on local trails in the boulder area. Its rigid so don't expect a squishy ride like a full-suspension. If that is what you want this is not the right bike for you. But if you are looking for a bike that will make you stronger and improve your ability to pick the best line this bike is for you. Plus it is a ton of fun. The gearing could be a little on the high side for some but if you are in shape it is perfect. Buy this bike and enjoy its simplicity.

Great 1st single speed
By Chris

Bike was packaged nice and arrived in nice condition. Only the seat post was slightly nicked up from shipping, but Nashbar quickly sent out a new one. Top notch customer support! I bought this bike to ride around SF bay area trails. Getting a little bored riding my geared bikes and been noticing a lot of SS on the trails. I just had to get in on the fun.The bikes fit and finish is very good. Took about 20 minutes to set the bike up. I changed to a shorter 60mm stem, 740mm bars, and lock on grips. Put on some XT pedals, adjusted the brakes and hit the trail. Bike was fun and the SS really adds fun back my ride. The BB5 brakes are very quiet and have good power. I did wipe the rotors and pads down before bedding them in. I did drop a chain on my second ride, but noticed the chain had gotten very slack. I've since added some DMR 10mm chain tugs and the problem is fixed.The only other problem was the wheels. I had to true them up on my stand and properly tension all the spokes. After my first ride the front wheel was wobbling pretty good. Since truing them up they are perfect now. Overall great bike and with some easy upgrades even better.
Ok for the price

Right off the bat the wheels needed serious attention. They both needed truing and the rear hub needed adjusting. Overall, it is a nice framset, but low-end components keep this from being really nice ride. Bottom line: Upgrade as you go or buy nicer to start with.
Great bike for $500
By DWD
from Park City, UT
Very happy with the bike after a few upgrades. The 19" fits my 5'-11" perfectly. My only complaint is that there is only one bottle mount and the saddle is uncomfortable. They could easily add a second bottle mount to the seat tube.The bike shipped with 32/18 gearing, not the 38/16 as advertised. Nashbar needs to fix their ad. I went ahead and installed the RaceFace 32T I ordered with the bike (thinking it was coming with a 38T), and installed a 20T ProCog. Replacing the cheap steel chainring/cog with quality components is a necessary upgrade. I replaced the stock, heavy and narrow Al handlebar with a wider carbon riser (also from Nashbar). I replaced the uncomfortable stock saddle. Lastly, I replaced the BB5 brakes with BB7 as others had suggested.After these upgrades the bike is a solid MTB.I also want to compliment Nashbar's customer service. While the bike was in transit a few days after ordering I noticed a one day sale of 21% off the bike. I informed Nashbar how annoying it was to see that I could have saved $105 on the bike by waiting a few days and they graciously sent me a gift card for the $105+tax.
fun Bike

For the price this is a great bike. I've owned $3,500+ bikes. I bought this one to try the 650b in a single speed format. It is a blast. The geometry works and the components get the job done. If you need quick release wheels, finely feathering brakes, or a bike that feels good to throw over your shoulder you should consider spending a lot more money. If you need a solid bike ready to hit the trail 10 minutes after the shipment is dropped this bike is for you. It is a joy to get out of the saddle and crank.
Great bike
By Ben

Amazing bike for the price, and really all you need. Simple for cleaning, maintenance and they enjoyment of your ride. It's a mountain bike that isn't heavy as some say, unless you want to shell out big $ to save a few lbs. The components are great, only two reccomendations. One would be BB7 brakes instead of BB5 for a little better stopping power, but thats a little picky. Tire choices are a little limited, but that will change in the next year or so as the 650b fad continues. Other than that the gearing is way too stiff if you are not using this for commuting. I made the switch to a bigger cog. The paint job looks much better in person. This bike can dish out as much as geared "higher quality" mountain bikers who roll their eyes as you pass them by.

mine came with a 32t even though the specs said 38t- would have preferred the 38t, the 32t seems too easy a gear, but can be easily changed
By D

I've been looking for an affordable, well made single speed mountain bike for a while now and this fits the bill perfectly. The geometry and wheel size make for a comfortable riding position and it feels really stable. I haven't done much off-road yet (just assembled yesterday) but my test ride felt great. The bike has clean welds and a nice finish. Shipped fast, packed well and easy to assemble (Bike is already 90% ready when it arrives).

Not too shabby
By J Hickorystick
from East Coast, USA
Long story short - It's not a bad rig. Good value for the money and a decent starting point. A fine option for dipping a toe into the 650B water without dropping more serious coin. A couple of upgrades should be made for comfort's sake, like the bar and saddle, but others like the gearing and brakes are dread necessities. Chain tensioning is a serious consideration as well, especially for this type of bike. Such a beast naturally requires enthusiastic pedal mashing which can overwhelm axle nuts alone. Those quibbles aside, it's a snappy XC whip packaged at a price that's tough to beat. Poise at speed and in standard trail chunder are pretty good but it's still a rigid XC bike so don't expect miracles. If nothing else, it begs one to consider how the wheelsize will develop with more refined geometry & components.So drastic are the differences before and after modifying it's stock form that I feel there are two discussions to be had regarding the merits of this model. Although certainly capable of being ridden casually, or even with a touch of enthusiasm, it simply isn't fit for heavy work out of the box. The stock 38/20 gearing is great for putting a prompt head of steam together on flattish ground but that's about it. Forget climbing until you sort out the ratio. The Nevegal tires, although seemingly a bit more reliable than their 26" brethren, are but barely capable of keeping up with such pace when things get dicey. Conditions and cornering confidence being very personal things, I shudder to imagine what it would be like with less knobby rubber. For my tastes, the stock 620mm bars are at least a couple inches too narrow. I feel they enhance the shopping cart aspects of the handling without offering any appreciable advantage besides a more robust forearm workout. Besides being more suited for scrubbing speed than checking gravity-fueled aggression, replacing the BB5 brakes should be seriously considered to alleviate the drag and warble which seems inherent to them. Although not impossible to set up in a manner which minimizes those attributes, doing so is much more of a hassle than other models both within and beyond the brand. The front end is a bit twitchy, albeit less so with a wider bar bolted on. The rear end doesn't seem to like letting it up easily. It's ok for lofting a little to help clear low obstacles but isn't inclined to manual without considerable effort. I'm no engineer but the fact that they use the same length chainstays throughout a range of three larger sizes might have something to do with that. That's mostly ok because at this point in my life I'm mostly a wheels-on-the-ground, wind-it-up-and-hang-on kind of rider anyway.Is this wheel circumference the Goldilocks between 26" and 29"? Will it ultimately lead to Holy Grail bikes which compensate for arrogance and ignorance in equal measure? I haven't the foggiest clue. At this point, my abbreviated time on it reflects mostly positive experiences and a hopeful outlook. If I could have but one bike in my shed, this would not be my sole ride. However, as an enhancement to a quiver, a test case for the wheel size or a casual no-frills alternative to pricier options, it's a respectable XC selection. Just be sure you budget a bit more than the asking price for select component upgrades because a far more capable and enjoyable bike is waiting to be built up from it.
