Robot Inspiration Series #17: Board Game Robots
There are several great examples of game-playing robots. Bryan Bonahoom made a Tic-Tac-Toe playing robot that can "read" the board and make moves all by itself. You can see his robot on the MINDSTORMS website, here. Steve Hassenplug made a robot that plays Connect-4, which you can see on his website, here.
5 comments:
There was a big RCX Connect-4 tournament a few years ago. Apparently, one bot took something like 10 seconds to do its move, and another about 2 minutes.
I've been considering making a boardgame playing bot for a while, but the piece manipulation and Ai always scared me.
I've found some algorithms on the net and am learning NXC now, so maybe I'll have a go...
Jonathan, how's your FTC going? Do you have a team site?

I suspect the robot in question was Steve Hassenplug's - he actually ended up building one (for an rtlToronto contest), and then, when somebody challenged him that it couldn't be done with just "normal" electronics, he rebuilt it so it could... and still it would win handily :).
Bryan's WOPR also came out of a contest - one for Tic-Tac-Toe between robots. I only ever saw four of these completed, but it was wild watching them play against each other. With the NXT (and the motor encoders), this should be somewhat easier. The programming really isn't too bad - in the end, we used four different methods, written in four different languages, and working with four completely different hardware configurations... I really doubt we tapped out the potential.
If you want *really* simple strategy that most humans still don't get... try Nim. "Dr. Nim" was a toy that could actually play the game using nothing more than mechanical logic, so doing it with the NXT should be easy (strategically speaking).

Sgt. 1st Class Chris Corbin didn't really prepare for his interview with Laura Logan of "60 Minutes." He just put on a uniform and did it — much like how he has approached everything since both his feet were blown off in an explosion in Afghanistan two years ago.
The Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) soldier and the story of his amazingly fast recovery will be featured on the news program next Sunday.
"I don't know if a lot of people stress out about those types of things, but she was really easy to talk to and we just hung out and chitchatted," Corbin said recently from the 7th Special Forces cantonment, where he returned to work just five months after he was wounded.
Logan and her crew followed Corbin through some obstacle courses and interviewed him in a makeshift studio at the cantonment several weeks ago. "60 Minutes" researchers found Corbin through a recent YouTube video of him putting on his prosthetic legs and skydiving with his bomb-detection dog Ax, a 5-year-old Belgian malinois.
Watch the video of Corbin and Ax skydiving. >>
Corbin and Ax were looking for explosives at a compound near the small town of Heydarabad in Afghanistan on Feb. 17, 2011.
"We found one … the hard way," the 35-year-old said recently.
Corbin took one step and was blown across the desert sand. He lost both legs below mid-shin.
Ax didn't have a scratch on him.
Corbin was sent to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, but he wasn't prepared to follow the normal and expected recovery path. Long before therapists imagined, he was climbing stairs in his prosthetic legs. Soon, he was running.
"I didn't want to be the invalid," he said. "I didn't want to be forgotten about, just dismissed as 'ah, well, he's handicapped. He can't do that stuff anymore.' I didn't want someone to have to take care of me. That just kept making me want to do more stuff."
That summer, he packed his truck at the hospital and returned to serve with his unit. Shortly after, he began training canines again and deployed to South America and to posts across the United States.
Corbin said before that day in Afghanistan, he couldn't have imagined what it would be like to be hurt the way he was. He felt being wounded could make people not want to do anything, to crawl into their little shells and hang out there.
"But this happened and I was like, you know what? I'm not done living yet," he said.
He still wanted to ride his motorcycle, go skydiving and travel the country.
"So I just keep doing it," he said. "Anytime something gets in my way, I figure out how to get around it and how to get past it and go do it again."
That exceptional drive and lust for life has motivated and inspired people Corbin has known for years and those he's known for days or weeks.
"Several of them have mentioned time and time again that every time they think 'I don't want to do something' or 'I can't do something,' they just look at all I've accomplished since being technically handicapped and think, 'Yep, I really have no excuses for not trying this,' " Corbin said. "They say, 'Chris is not only doing this, he's doing it with no feet.' "
Corbin said maybe some people he's never met will see the "60 Minutes" interview and be motivated to push themselves to do whatever they want.
Corbin said it helped that he received tremendous support from his fellow soldiers when he returned to work.
They gave him a lot of latitude at first, which he said he needed to get used to what it was going to take just to show up for work, to put himself together in the morning.
"It took a lot of trials and tribulations to figure out what works for me and what doesn't," he said.
He said he hoped that he would be able to return to Afghanistan or serve in a combat zone, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.
But for the most part he's back, he said.
"When you wake up in the morning and put your shoes on, well, so do I," he said. "I just have feet attached to them."

Let me start off this week's recap by saying, Kyle Richards knows how to throw a party.
Portia's birthday party had balloon animals, cotton candy, amusement park rides, a llama and UNICORNS. Sure, they were brown unicorns, and I'm not sure that's actually a thing, but whatever, it looked like a good time.
Kyle doesn't have her friends to thank for that, though. For some reason, a group of grown women seemed determined to hash out all of their petty drama at a child's birthday party. Kyle seemed to think it was ok, believing that no one would dare be completely inappropriate around a bunch of fat-cheeked cherubs.
Has she met the other Housewives, yet? But we'll get to that later.
Adrienne is still playing the victim. While shopping for obscenely expensive kids' clothes with Kyle, Adrienne says it's "childish" for Lisa to continue to be mad at her for accusing her of selling stories to the tabloids. As I said before, this is the usual reality TV drama. It is easily manufactured drama -- low hanging fruit for gossip blogs.
But let's unpack this Lisa-Adrienne beef for a moment. Adrienne accused Lisa Vanderpump (whose new house could fit five of my apartments into it) of doing something as base as selling stories to tabloids for money. Not only that, for selling stories about women she calls friends for money. Yeah, um ... she has a right to be offended. Essentially, Adrienne called her a broke traitor without any scruples.
Either way, Kyle wriggles her way out of the sticky situation, but that won't be the last time Adrienne harps on The Lisa Thing. Don't you worry.
Later, Kyle, Adrienne and their husbands head to Taylor's house for dinner where she springs an idea on Paul and Mauricio. Taylor, who has said that her late husband physically abused her, found out about a marathon to raise money for domestic violence. It's called "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes," and requires the fellas to walk down a Sacramento street wearing high heels.
The guys make a few obligatory, heteronormative jokes and agree to join in. Which means Adrienne and Paul go shopping for a pair of heels at some store that sells women's shoes in ginormous sizes. That pair of sparkly, red Mary Janes had to be at least a size 17.
Cut to Yolanda, who is wearing these amazing red, leather skinnies and is off to her daughter Gigi's photo shoot for Guess. Let me begin by saying how ridiculously gorgeous Gigi is. What's more, she seems well adjusted despite starting a modeling career as a teenager. She's looking forward to Portia's party so that she can enjoy an empty calorie-filled cheat day, (Yay, for healthy dieting complete with cheats!) and doesn't seem to hate her mother being there.
Even though Yolanda is kind of being annoying. Yes, she was a model, and she was the real deal, but no matter what she says, she is a scary stage mom. It's understandable, though. When she started out, she had no support, so she wants to be there for Gigi.
But if she tells the makeup artists to round Gigi's eye shadow so she doesn't look "Chinese" one more time, I'm going to cringe myself into oblivion. Racial insensitivity, people -- it's easy to avoid if you try hard enough.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a 2009 fantasy-adventure film directed by David Yates and based on the novel of the same name by J. K. Rowling. It is the sixth instalment in the Harry Potter film series, and is written by Steve Kloves and produced by David Heyman and David Barron.[5] The film stars Daniel Radcliffeas Harry Potter, alongside Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as Harry's best friends Ron Weasley andHermione Granger. The supporting cast features Michael Gambon, Jim Broadbent, Alan Rickman, Tom Feltonand Helena Bonham Carter.
Filming began on 24 September 2007, with the film being released in cinemas worldwide on 15 July 2009, one day short of the fourth anniversary of the corresponding novel's release. In everywhere but the United States, the sixth film was simultaneously released in regular cinemas and IMAX 3-D in all countries. Due to North American theaters having a several week commitment by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,[6] the IMAX 3D release of the film occurred on 29 July, two weeks after its original release.[7]
Half-Blood Prince opened to critical acclaim along with instant commercial success, breaking the record for the biggest single-day worldwide gross of all time. In five days the film made $394 million, breaking the record for biggest five-day worldwide gross in ...

The mobile revolution means an infinitely useful arsenal of apps in your pocket. And fortunately, those innovations are streamlining the ways that companies manage their time and money.
Here are five ways that smartphone and tablet apps are making business more efficient.
1. Simplifying payments
We take them for granted, but credit card fees and cash registers are barriers-to-entry for small businesses. If you have a smartphone or tablet, though, there are some great emerging apps that help small operations graduate from their cash-only signs.
The best known — launched by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey — is Square (free on iOS and Android). It relies on a card reader that connects to your device via the headphone jack to accept credit cards. The catch is they charge a 2.75 percent transaction fee on each swipe.
Dwolla (free on iOS, Android and desktop), on the other hand, works to circumvent credit card fees altogether. It's a payment network for businesses and people to send and receive money mutually — think PayPal, but more mobile, user friendly and flexible. Transactions occur via Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, phone, email, or directly through a business account, and the receiver in any transaction over $10 will pay a flat 25 cent fee; under $10 and the fee is waived.
Then there's the relative newcomer, Change (free on iPad only), which transforms your iPad into a point-of-sale cash register. For $39 per month the app provides transaction statistics, fills the touch-based interface with your products, and offers emailed receipts, among other features.
2. No-sweat legal documents

Another MDP profile added

I've actualy been waiting for the bios of some of those "big dogs" in the Lego world. But this is actualy somewhat disapionting. Although, he does have a sense of humor :o)

What's disappointing about it? I thought it was a pretty cool idea to use a Swiffer attachment...

Well, part of the problem is, Steve is doing a LOT of stuff currently, so preparing it for public display on LEGO's website might have been tough just from the standpoint of time. And a lot of those "big dogs" in the LEGO world have their own way of displaying their works, like their website:
As to the Swiffer idea, now all that he needs is the ability to find and plug into a "dock" to recharge the battery, and his little sweeper robot could run at night (signaled by low light level) while hibernating and recharging during the day. Hehe.
Brian "I still can't take the time to host my own website" Davis
- Jul 19, 2006, 7:13:00 AM
Disapionting as is, lacking content. Other MDP'ers had a bit more to say on there profiles. But I do understand why there isn't much there.
About docking and recharging. That might be posible with the Luthinium battery.

I thought the MDP was 100 people. Are you telling me that only 10 people were able to submit a project or two for Lego to show off? Not to sound like sour grapes, but if I had been selected I would have been happy to commit to 5 or 10 projects for the website. Before this gets too negative, I will thank the 15 or so people who have made their projects available either on this blog or their own websites. For the other MDP, thanks for nothing. Those of us, myself included, who are still waiting on our NXT kits, were hoping for more of a response from the MDP. Next time Lego, you might want to require those selected to do more PR work for you during and after the beta period.
Jim and Brian and Mattias, sorry to post such a negative comment, but I really feel that many in the MDP did not live up to the expectations of the general public. There seems to be a small subset of the MDP who are contributing, yourselves included, and this is very disappointing. Since the MDP is over, I don't know how much influence you still have with Lego, but if you still have contact with them, tell them that 10 profiles out of 100 just isn't enough.
- Jul 19, 2006, 12:11:00 PM
- Jim Kelly said...
Wow... I'm not sure how to respond to that.
I'm still limited by the NDA I have with LEGO, so I have to be careful what I say here...
First, regarding the 10 profiles... Steve's was just added, so it's possible there might be more coming...
Second, most of the MDPers, I believe, have real-world jobs. I work from home, so my job does allow me some freedom to post more frequently and respond to comments... I imagine most of the MDPers come home at the end of their work days and have families and/or other obligations. I'm just adding this because I think a lot of the MDPers probably had just enough time to play with the NXT and provide feedback to LEGO, not the rest of the world.
And finally, there may be a lot more content out there that just hasn't been found yet... we're all aware of Philo's site or Matthias' site, but there may be some floating out there that we just haven't discovered.
I think putting all the responsibility on us MDPers to provide continuous content is probably a mistake. I don't want to get into a debate or argument on this issue, so I'll just let this be my final word on the subject... but others may chime in - some in support of your complaint and others against...but I do thank you for your comments and for keeping it civil. I ask that anyone else replying do the same... thanks.

- Steve said...
I agree with Anonymous. I was disappointed with the response from some of the MDPs.
On the other hand, I know some of them are too busy building to document...
- Jul 19, 2006, 10:28:00 PM
Now I'm in a dilema. I agree with both Anonymous, and with Jim, but not very strongly with either...And I don't have a fully formulated oppinion of my own. I'll try jabbering.
In response to anonymous
First, I never expected all 100 profiles. That would be overboard. They are doing good, they give the profiles of the most prominent and most active MDP'ers
Second, I think that the MDP'er have doen their job. But it isn't to inform us, that's an afterthought. They where there as bata testers for the NXT system. LEGO brought them in (or rather sent kits out) so that they could be pushed to the limits outside of a lab.
In response to Jim
Well I agree with almost all of what you say...yeah, all.
In response to steve
You still have a sense of humor. But it takes minutes to snap a few photos and write up a paragraph. That's all we want.

- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
Steve's statement squares with my own experiences: disappointed expectations when considering the percentage of MDPs actively making the world happy with heaps of NXT-related stuff - yet this could mean also that I had built up reprehensively wrong expectations (in German, the saying goes Wer sich taeuschen will, muss enttaeuscht werden -> He who wants to err has to be disappointed).
And (again from my own experiences) I can acknowledge that it's not the easiest task for full-time working people to find the time to be creative with NXT and to publish the results to the community at that.

Humm... You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.
...and Never will!
I am an MPDer. I have a full time job (posted in my MDP profile) and a part-time job with very little time otherwise. Let me explain.
I leave work at 4pm everyday. I race home to hug my family (wife, 3 1/2 yr. old boy, and a brand new baby boy born during the MDP period). Now, I'm not saying that I am a god, but I managed to find a few seconds here and there to create something NXT. I mean seconds! Usually, right before bed when I am so tired I couldn't see. If any sour readers out there have children you will know how much personal time parents actually have for self-improvement. For those that do not have children I can say we have seconds weekly.
I like the dream production of "5 - 10 Projects"... The fun was trying to use the new toolset effectively all within the MDP period (2 months?). Learning the new NXT programming software was a time hog of its own. New motor shapes and studless elements were difficult at first (some could not get past this trouble).
All in all, the MDP group did a fine job. There are very many creations that would have taken months or years to create were all created before the NXT was released. Something the RIS never received.
Funny thing... I have seen only 2 non-MDP creations since the release of the NXT to the public.
Well, I cannot type any longer. Back to work...soory for my low turnout/production. I want to do more. Time is...well short.
- Jul 20, 2006, 7:03:00 AM
I can't sympothize (you're talking to a 14 year old kid here), but I understand your delima. But surely there are more than 2 non-MDP creatins out there. What about all the ones that NXTasy.org has posted about? Where they made by MDP'ers?
- Jul 20, 2006, 8:38:00 AM
- Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...
Those "2" that I have had the luck to find without digging. I'm sure others exist. Not much has been posted on Brickshelf yet. I believe the avarage public eye would not see much more. Yet...anyway! The greatest RIS creations were not realized until years after set release.
Thank You for the URL! I had not seen this site. I see a couple from non-MDP builders.
Really though... As Jim touched on... Most MDPers may not have produced much in the way of actual NXT creations with the elements, our primary function was something different. The creations were a side bonus. Those few represent thousands of man-hours and are meant to inspire others to create more and build on the community! Yes, in this case more would likely have been better. But, too many very very cool creations too quickly might discourage some people from trying.
Since I do not have a website of my own, several of my creations are waiting for the treatment.
Now, where do I get a site?

i use the hound out of acrobat professional 7/8. i got rid of my filing cabinets years ago and have scanners and acrobat and last year added cloud storage.
i have chased my tail all evening trying to resolve this. i always put in keywords in the properties of the file itself to help in the search, file names are uber important but you need more info sometimes and that is where the leywords make life better.
today i am no longer able to right click the completed file and choose properties from the right click menu and then choose the pdf tab and enter my keywords. the only thing differnet i disabled java in my web browsers and updated acrobat reader when i saw it was ootdated.
i can enter it from the open program. when you are scanning you work very seldom in the program because all you are care about is the container so the change is unwelcome.
anyone use acrobat in scanning? Can you tell me what might have happened?
this is a bummer, Thanks

I read an article a few weeks ago that I think every single genealogist should read, and I was excited about sharing it with you all. It is a special issue of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly from September 2001 (Volume 89, No.3). This issue was completely devoted to discussion of the Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemings affair that I'm sure everyone has already heard about. If you are a member of NGS (which I highly recommend) you can log in to their website and download this article from their NGS Quarterly archives immediately.
The esteemed Helen Leary, who is an extraordinary genealogist, tackles the subject in an article entitled, "Sally Heming's Children: A Genealogical Analysis of the Evidence," which starts on page 165. It is a 40-plus page article, long, but well-worth taking the time to print out and read. Helen illustrates use of the Genealogical Proof Standard to one of this country's most enduring mysteries: Was Thomas Jefferson the father of Sally Heming's children?
In Helen's gifted hands, the evidence is laid out (truly massive amounts of evidence), every hypothesis tested, each conflict addressed and a clearer conclusion you won't find anywhere. Helen is a masterful teacher, and a thorough researcher. I feel like I grew as a researcher just seeing how she approached the topic and addressed each and every concern. I will continue to apply these methods to my own research.
DNA testing performed in 1998 matched Sally Hemings youngest son Eston's DNA to that of a Jefferson male. Along with the other evidence, I particularly enjoyed how Helen illustrated handling of bias on the part of researchers, and how that bias can negatively affect results. This article also showed how you can't the play the game of "XYZ coulda happened" with research. Genealogy is not about coulda, woulda, shoulda.
I'll leave you with a clip from the 1870 census that this article discusses that just blew my mind. In 1870, a census taker in Ross County, Ohio, enumerated Sally's son Madison (most of whom went on to live as white people) and wrote the following notation into the census next to his name:
"This man is the son of Thomas Jefferson!"
Now, that has got to make you say Wow. I've never seen anything like that before. I hope you'll go read this article, come back here and let me know what you thought. I encourage you to read the entire issue: an article by Thomas Jones dissects the "official" report done by the Thomas Jefferson Scholars Commission (who continue to deny the pairing), and there is an excellent article by Gary B. Mills about proving children of master-slave relationships.

The island of Diu lies off the Gujarat coast separated by a long narrow channel. The northern side of the island has marshes and salt-pans while the southern side alternates between limestone cliffs, rocky coves and sandy beaches. The island is full of quarries where the Portuguese excavated limestone to build the fort, city walls, monuments and buildings. Ghoghla a fishing village on the mainland is also part of Diu.
Diu's earliest history starts from 1298, when it was controlled by the Chudasama dynasty. Diu was soon overrun by 'Muhammad bin Tughlaq'. The island then fell into the hands of the Ottomans, who used it as a base to control shipping routes in the northern part of the Arabian Sea. The Portuguese, aware of Diu's strategic trading position with Arabia and the Persian Gulf, continually made advances to gain control of the island. In 1535, they finally gained control by signing a peace treaty with Sultan Bahadur Shah.
The island remained a Portuguese colony until 1961 when after a swift bombing campaign; it became part of the Indian Republic along with Daman and Goa. In 1987, Goa was made a state, acquiring an independent administration, but Diu is still administered separately as a Union Territory.

Best Time To Visit: The best season to visit is between October to May.
Airport Distance from City Center: 8 kms Taxi Rates from Airport to City: Private taxi and three wheelers available to city centre
Fort of Diu: The Fort of Diu is an expansive and imposing structure, situated on the coast of the island and commands a magnificent view of the sea. One can find an old lighthouse within. A strange mist shrouds the entire fort, and is more conspicuous during winter, when fog spreads around. An interesting place to visit.
Fortress of Panikota
The fortress of Panikota is a magnificent stone structure in the sea, built right at the mouth of the creek. You can reach it only by canoe or motor launch. Approximately, one nautical mile from the Diu jetty, it also has a lighthouse and a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Sea. The fortress makes for a beautiful view whether seen from the jetty, from the fort, from the village of Ghoghla or from the island.
Diu Museum
The Diu museum was formerly the old St. Thomas church that was converted. It houses antique statues, stone inscriptions of earlier rulers, wooden carvings, idols, shadow-clocks and other important artefacts, collected from various sites.
St Paul's Church
The beautiful St Paul's church is dedicated to Our Lady of Immaculate Conception. The construction of the church was started in 1601, and was completed in the year 1610.
Gangeshwar Temple
The temple is situated three kilometres away from Diu in Fudam village. A Shivalinga, known as Gangeshwar, can be found in the midst of the rocks on the seashore, and is washed by the tidal waves of the sea.
Jallandhar Shrine
Located on a hillock close to the beach, south of Diu town, this is a small shrine crowned with a dome. It contains a niche where a stone-carved face of Jallandhar can be seen. A popular place of tourist interest.
Nagoa Beach
This beach is located in the Nagoa hamlet of Bucharwada village. It is exceptionally beautiful and quiet. Various water sports facilities are available and the beach is safe for swimming. Perfect for a picnic.
Chakratirth Beach:
The Chakratirth beach is centrally located. The beach is frequented by the locals as well as domestic and international tourists. The hill, surrounding areas and landscape are beautifully illuminated. There's also an open-air auditorium on the hillock, overlooking Chakratirth beach.
Ghoghla Beach
The Ghoghla beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Diu district. Besides the golden sand, the sea and the numerous palm trees, a tourist complex provides all the basic amenities to tourists.
Garba festival:
This is the most popular folk festival of Gujarat and especially of Diu. It is normally performed by women dressed in colourful costumes with typical ornaments, accompanied by singing of song in praise of Goddess Amba. The colourful costumes, the mesmerising music and the graceful steps are beautiful to watch.

Starkville Police Department authorities arrested and charged Christopher Lee Steed, 35, with arson after he allegedly set fire to a mobile home in The Pines Manufactured Home Community on 1000 Louisville St., Apt. No. 30, on Oct. 24.
Steed, whose home address is 40051 Valley Chapel Road in Hamilton, was the owner of the structure but did not live there, according to an SPD release.
Detective Stephanie Perkins said Steed was subleasing the mobile home to another occupant, who was behind on his rent. Because the occupant was behind on his rent, Perkins said, Steed was behind on his mortgage.
"He felt he needed to get out of the mortgage," she said.
According to the release, Steed lit a roll of toilet paper with a match, dropped it in a recliner in the bedroom and fled. The manufactured home was unoccupied at the time Steed allegedly started the fire.
The release states Steed submitted to and failed a polygraph test Thursday administered by Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Mike Ivy with the State Fire Marshal's Office.
Upon further investigation by Perkins and Starkville Fire Department Lt. Charles Yarbrough, Steed confessed.
Perkins confirmed Steed is out of Oktibbeha County Jail on $5,000 bond.

Easily one of the ugliest figures I have ever seen. Not only is this an "easy pass", it is absolutely out of the question that I would ever waste money on garbage like that.

Is that pic accurate or is it at a funny angle?
Mattel really half-a**ed this one to keep it in the standard figure price range ($17-20).
Are the Horsemen still working on the new DC figures? Some of it like Hawkman are great and some of it are laughably bad like every figure in the Injustice line.
That is a god awful looking figure fo sho!

Honestly, I don't expect DCU to make it past 2013. There is no way the sub (if there is one) is going to make it this time around for 2014, and with the ugliness of the Injustice figures, they are going to just sit on the pegs and not move until stores tell Mattel no more.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

One of the ugliest figure I've ever seen and that video just confirms it.
Other than the out of scale shoulder pads, he's not all that bad.
Yeah, not as bad as I initially thought. Cool pics, SCB!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time.

Cool pics! I don't collect DC stuff anymore but I'll be getting this Darkseid just to add him to the MOTUC side as a separate villain, could always use more bad guys.
Those are sculpted forearms. 100% tooled. Head pops off like any other Motuc figure.
Looks much better than the prototype images.

He does look pretty good in those pics! I still collect Mattel's DC lines so I will probably get this Darkseid. BTW the "MOTUC" Batman is awesome, I got him last week, lots of a fun.

Cochlear Implants
- Home
- Health Information
- Cochlear Implants
- Speech processor—The speech processor looks like a long, narrow calculator. It is worn behind the ear or on a belt. It increases sound, converts it into digital signals, and sends these signals to the transmitter.
- Transmitter—The transmitter is a headphone that is worn behind the ear. It receives electrical signals from the speech processor and sends them through the skin to the receiver.
- Receiver—The receiver is the part that is implanted. It is a magnetic disk about the size of a quarter. It is placed under the skin behind one ear. A wire that runs from the receiver to an electrode is placed in the inner ear, where it stimulates the nerves of the cochlea.
|The Cochlea
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
Possible Complications
- Infection
- Damage to nearby nerves
- Problems with balance
- Emotional stress caused by having higher expectations for the technology
- Poor quality of hearing following the surgery
- Smoking
- Previous surgery
- Previous ear infections
- Abnormal inner ear anatomy
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will examine you, paying particular attention to your ears. This can be done with:
- A medical history and physical exam
- Ear exam
- Hearing evaluation
- Psychological evaluation
- Your doctor may need pictures of your ear. This can be done with:
- You should be up-to-date on immunizations. Pneumococcal , meningococcal , and haemophilus vaccines are especially important. There has been a link between cochlear implants and bacterial meningitis .
- Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the procedure.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
Description of Procedure
- Implantation of receiver—A cut will be made in the skin behind the ear. A hole will be drilled through the bone behind the ear to the cochlea. A wire will be placed through the hole and into the cochlea. The receiver will then be put against the bone behind your ear. The wire will be attached to the receiver. The incision will be closed with stitches.
- External hook-up—In 4 to 6 weeks, the area should be healed. At this point, the transmitter headpiece and speech processor will be connected.
How Long Will It Take?
How Much Will It Hurt?
Average Hospital Stay
Post-procedure Care
- Headpiece fitting, done 4-6 weeks after surgery
- Adjustments to the speech processor
- Ongoing evaluation of hearing status
- Identify sounds
- Read lips
- Develop speech skills
Call Your Doctor
- Pain
- Lightheadedness or vomiting
- Facial paralysis or twitching
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge at the incision site

A Terrine of Summer Fruits
This one is a stunner. It's also dead easy to make and slices like a dream – a lovely, fresh-tasting, summer dessert. It's important to have two tins because the terrine needs to be weighted while it is setting. In testing, I have found that it is necessary to add the smaller amount of jelly at the end to avoid spillage when weighting, as it's this weighting that makes the terrine easy to slice.
Serves 6-8
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Summer Collection
First prepare the fruit: remove the stalks and halve the strawberries if they are any larger than a quail's egg. Then mix the fruits together in a large bowl, being very gentle so as to avoid bruising them. In a small saucepan heat half the rosé wine till it begins to simmer, then whisk the sugar and gelatine into it. Make sure that everything has dissolved completely before adding the remaining wine and the lime juice.
While that's happening, lay the mixed fruit in one of the loaf tins – and it's worth arranging the bottom layer with the smallest, prettiest-shaped fruit as this will be on top when the terrine is turned out.
Then warm up the remaining 5 fl oz (150 ml) wine mixture and pour it over the surface of the terrine. Re-cover with clingfilm and return to the fridge overnight to set firm.

Great Helmet, figure it out!
By J Ro
from New York, NY
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Giro Prolight Road Helmet - Exclusive Colors!:
It does in fact adjust, though not on the fly. Buy the appropriate size. There are three different holes on each side of the inside of the helmet in which to anchor the sizing straps. I've had used the different holes for when my hair is short, or when I'm wearing a cap. It fits. It works. It's not as adjustable as a "regular" helmet, but it's so much lighter than helmets with mechanisms, it's worth it. I usually forget that I'm wearing it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

weird locking design

About Me Competitive Cyclist
the locking strap is not adjustable. The helmet can move front to back when its clipped on
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hi Endi,Yes to save weight this helmet does not have an adjustment mechanism. Getting the correct size for this helmet is critical. - Bike Nashbar
Nice 200 gr. helment

If you don't require a special fit this helmet is hard to beat.
Never scrimp on buying a helmet!
By Lmr

Does not have a dial adjustment. Not such a good adjustment system. It either fits or it doesn't. I am just lucky it fits.
Lacks Durability
By Road cyclist
from Central Pennsylvania
I purchased this helmet for my husband. He is an active road cyclist. The helmet was light weight as indicated. However, the fore/aft system adjustment was very flimsy and looked like it would not be very durable for regular riding. We returned it.

If I had know how the adjustment mechanism was designed I would not have purchased this model.
By uncle marty
from central NY State
As I've seen in other reviews, this helmet felt "tippy" on my head, and didn't feel secure. I wanted the feeling of "it feels like there's nothing on your head", and it is very very light. I was ready for the very spare adjustment system, but it just didn't give me a feeling of security. My head measures 23.25" which I thought would give me a nice close fit with the Medium. It fit front to back, but with gaps around the the sides. For some who happen to have the right shaped head, they might like it, but it wasn't for me. I think the new Giro Aeon (slightly heavier) might have worked out these problems, but it's really expensive. For now, I'm going back to my trusty old Giro Transfer that I got years ago for twenty bucks (yes, TWENTY BUCKS!!). Being a low cost helmet, it comes as a "one size fits all", but for me it's a better fit. Despite the little bit of extra weight, it was almost a relief to put on after trying to get comfy with the Prolight. I reluctantly sent the Prolight back.
Great helmet
By KN in CT
from Ridgefield, CT
About Me Casual/ Recreational
This helmet replaced an older Giro helmet. I am impressed with the light weight and comfort of the helmet. It was easy to adjust, but you had to figure that out on your own as the documentation in the manual was lacking.
everything I was looking for
By richee rich
from las vegas
The perfect blend of comfort and lightweight. Don't even know it's on.
Super Light Helmet!
By Tri J

Noticeably lighter than my last Giro helmet. Excellent qualty and very comfortable fit. The extra ventilation is nice.

LEGO CAD: Get Started!
This is my attempt at compiling a Quick Install Guide for the essential LEGO CAD tools. It is the first document in a series that I am working on. I am not completely satisfied with it yet. But, please review it and provide some feedback. I have a few worries but will take on any harshness that may follow. Sadly, (well sort of sadly) it is only for the Windows based installations of the programs I feel are the best. MAC folks will have to fend for themselves. I blame my Father for my unfortunate Windows addiction (a habit I wish to crack someday).
For the "LEGO CAD Quick Install Guide"..Click HERE to download a PDF version. If you need a different file type email me directly or offer a clue in the comments area.
Thanks! Christopher

I will say that there is an "All-in-one" installer at LDraw.org that installs everything you could possibly imagine (LDraw + tools'wise). But, this installer has never worked cleanly for me on my PCs (7 different old and new Windows OS'ers). It was/is the first of it's kind and has not seen much in the way of updates. Try it if you dare. Or, stick to the tried and true method of manual installations that are sure to work.

You're a hero by having taken up this task! I'm cocksure that many many people will appreciate the results of your efforts.
As for the file format: how about a pdf? It's a quasi-standard document interchange format for the following reasons:
- the reader is freely available (with installation a child's play)
- the file size is much smaller compared to a WORD file
- the document is read-only (which may be of relevance for the author in case of re-distribution)
- it's much less virus-prone than a WORD document (as a matter of fact, virus filters of many companies are blocking WORD files)
Last but not least a pdf can be created easily from a WORD file.

Great work! I will certainly be using this as my guide as I'll need to install these components an many computers.
Here is something that would make a good addition to your guide:
LPub It's a publishing tool that converts ldraw files to html. An alternative to uploading ldraw files - esp. for the people who want to see others designs, but are unwilling or unable to install ldraw .
Thanks again for creating the guide!
- Sep 12, 2006, 3:24:00 AM
I use the installer that is included with Kevin Clague's LEGO Software Power Tools. This installs everything you need (LDraw, MLCAD, LPUB, POV-RAY, etc.). Syngress has discounted this book ($15 is a steal) so you may want to take a look at it and compare it to what you're writing. These freely available tools for LEGO CAD are truly amazing and it's great that you're helping more people to be able to take advantage of them.

- Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...
LPub is cool, but it still needs LDraw, L3P and POV-Ray to convert the LDraw renderings into HTML pictures, etc. LPub is included in the second part of my install guides. The "Installing Advanced LEGO CAD Rendering Tools" guide. Which I'm working on right now. I will then start covering the How-To-Use the software guide series.
Yes, I know of Kevin Clague's wonderful book. It's a fine read (e-read for me). However, it is getting a little out-dated being published January 2003. Some important updates have occured since then and getting that stuff in order is a bit of a hassle and still needs a clear path to follow. While the information in the book is solid and still very useful it, unfortunately, doesn't cover several things I will be covering in my Guide Series.

"LPub is cool, but it still needs LDraw, L3P and POV-Ray to convert the LDraw renderings into HTML pictures..."
Yes but once the instructions are converted to html, the rest of the world can view them without having to install anything. (assuming that the creator uploaded the html files to a repository rather then the ldraw file ( or maybe both would be a good idea ).
- Sep 12, 2006, 4:36:00 AM
- Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...
David, You're right with that. Kevin's LPub is the best option if your not an official LEGO instruction book creator! And, both the pictures and the file(s) would be good because if the files are not created properly (ie. some areas are not showing exactly how to build) some difficulty could be experienced. So, having the file on-hand one could go into the structure (hiding parts and such) and find out how a part is placed.

House blends are the backbone of any coffee merchant. They depend on it and tasting a house blend is a good way to find out if you can depend on a roaster. They make choices from hundreds of coffees to achieve a successful blend. A blend is not simply a mixture. It is a combination of the desired coffee characteristics and cannot be maintained by simply adhering to a formula, as no two coffee crops have the exact same characteristics. The blender measures uniformity by the effect of the whole rather than by the quantities of the component parts.
After tasting several of her freshly roasted coffees, from single origins to complex blends, we selected Mary's Blue Moose Blend, the House blend at Electric City Roasting Co.'s very own Zummo's Caf�. This blend is very well balanced with excellent acidity and a medium bodied flavor. Blue Moose is a unique, premium blend of 100% specialty grade Central and South American Arabica coffees. It will impress even the most critical taster.

Border management
Fighting terrorism and transnational crime through effective border management.
In our increasingly globalized world, it is easier than ever before for people and goods to cross international borders.
This is also the case for criminals. Young men and women travel to conflict zones to join terrorist groups, while child sex offenders travel from their home countries to exploit victims overseas. Smugglers and traffickers take advantage of this increasing flow across borders to hide their cargos of illicit goods and desperate migrants.
Effective border security is an essential part of combating transnational crime.
INTERPOL offers a range of tools and services which can help its member countries to enhance their own border-security procedures, and to integrate their efforts with those of their neighbours.
INTERPOL Integrated Border Management Task Force
The Integrated Border Management Task Force (IBMTF) is the central point of contact and coordination for international border-security activities at INTERPOL.
The Task Force supports law enforcement officers working at the frontline of border security by:
- providing them with access to INTERPOL tools and services,
- delivering capacity building and training courses,
- coordinating operational activities.
The Task Force draws upon expertise across departments within INTERPOL as well as from international partners.
