RIF Update
16 comments:
Hi, Jim. Have a safe trip. I hope you don't mind but I'm pasting a commetn from a reader into this area that is about the RIF. Dan J. posted this in anothe r section. I hope he doesn't mind me copying and pasting.
I downloaded a few minutes ago. Not bad. Not bad at all.
There are a bunch of documents in the zip file. 4 pdfs, 1 word, and 1 txt.
1 pdf - build steps, full color, unique robot, I don't want to give away the surprise, obviously some time put into this document, about 100 pages
2 pdf - program steps, full color, some of it doesn't make sense but I'm not an expert (yet) at this program language, good comments, each step has one page color showing the block and the little area in lower left of screen where you tweak the settings, about 50 pages
3 pdf - the story, objectives, some pictures/images for flavor and realism, definitely some thought put into this doc, about 15 pages (plus a cool photo at the end of the location for this mission)
4 word document, form to fill out
5 text version of the form
6 readme file
My only complaint is it took me a few seconds to figure out how to get the download after paying. Check your email, they send you a code. Big zip file (7.5mb) so I think a warning should be given to those with dialup maybe.
For 6 dollars, I'm not disappointed. Looking through this has given me a little incentive to start building more. My son and I are going to have some fun this weekend doing this "mission".
I'll probably buy the next one just to encourage whoever these people are to keep doing them.

I want to add my thoughts. I'm a teacher (and a parent). I'm not the primary FLL coach but I have assisted with my school's two teams; my daughter participated last year and enjoyed it. We purchased the NXT for her last week.
I just purchased the mission 1 file and downloaded it for my daughter. I'd like to print the entire thing out but it's almost 200 pages and I think my ink jet will probably run out!
The assembly instructions come in one PDF file (95 pages). Each step is a color photograph. I was expecting the drawn steps like the Lego instruction manual but the photos are very easy to see and follow.
My daughter likes building robots but she's confused about creating the programs. Aren't we all! There is another PDF file (50 pages) that shows a program being created. The program seems to be fairly large. I've only lightly used the software so this will probably help me as much as it does my daughter. I hope!
I haven't gone over all the documents but I will praise the efforts put into this project. I'm not crazy about the spooky-eerie theme but my daughter sure is! If Lego is behind this, they've got some creative people working over there! Keep it up!

GREAT project for kids. Excellent photos and programming instructions.
Ditto on the difficulty in actually obtaining the file. (I had cookies enabled and it still didn't work. Had to have it emailed to me).
Somebody went to a LOT of work to make this project, and the quality shows.
- Sep 15, 2006, 1:10:00 PM
I downloaded it for my kids who have now convinced me to participate. I'm not a big robot fanatic but I have to admit I'm looking forward to spending some time with my kids this weekend. Should make work today go quickly.
- Sep 15, 2006, 10:45:00 PM
Hey, Tom.
I'm the same way. My son begged me to get him the kit and I've gotten hooked a little bit at a time. I'm not sure if I'll buy the file until I've heard some more feedback on the instructions from kids, not adults.

- Tony said...
oh Jeeze, if I knew this was all a marketing scheme... well I figured it was a marketing scheme, but not one where I'd have to pay money to participate.
Do they really expect people to register for a shady looking website like tradebit and then purchase something with little idea of what you're getting? All from a bizarre "organization" like rifagent.com?
Sure, 6 bucks isn't a lot and for all I know what you get may be very professionally produced, but come on...
- Sep 15, 2006, 11:01:00 PM
- Rick Rhodes said...
With all due respect, I'll have to differ with you.
If your goal is to use projects like these to have a fun and creative time with your kids, then I'm all for them.
The site says that later missions will be more complex, which should interest some of the programmers out there.
- Sep 15, 2006, 11:21:00 PM
Our intention from the start has been to create fun scenarios for kids that promote creativity, encourage a bit of role-playing, and basically give NXT owners a reason to get out the kit and play.
Our focus is not on adults, but we recognize that many adults will probably participate. We are a small 2 person operation. We do not have a corporate building with servers and high-tech databases and e-commerce software. We are using what we can find that won't cost us a fortune.
We have never once said to ourselves "Let's make a million dollars."
We were told, however, by a good friend with e-commerce experience "The kids will have fun and the adults will take the fun out of it." We're hoping to prove him wrong.
So far, the limited feedback we've received from those that have purchased the file has been positive. And we thank those who have purchased the file and taken a look and provided feedback.
The small fee we are charging allows us to pay the web-hosting bill, the file-hosting fee, and cover some material costs that are incurred during the construction of a mission. We're not skipping and laughing all the way to the bank.
We're not in this for the money. We are both parents who enjoy encouraging our children to play. If we find that projects like this are simply not popular or hold no interest to the general public, we'll move on. But we feel that would be a shame. There are so few resources for the new NXT that focus on kids; most websites and books for the previous version of Mindstorms that we've found in our research seem to focus on adults, with hacking and modifications and more technical matters being the goal.
My partner in this project is not a professional web designer, but I feel he's done a nice job with the site and in finding a way to host the large files and make them available to anyone who wants them. Tradebit.com may not have the flash and glitz that you desire in a website, but a little digging will show they've been around and offer a reasonable service for a reasonable fee. We could have gone with an in-house shopping cart system and other bells and whistles, but our math showed we would have had to charge about $15.00 or more to recover our costs (based on a conservative estimate on how many people might purchase the file).
Our kids just want to play. And maybe some adults do, too. Give us some time to iron out the bugs and kinks. We're trying hard to create something that inspires and maybe brings some additional enjoyment to owning a kit.

Tony and Poe,
I'm glad that so many programmers are involved with the NXT.
But I'm ESPECIALLY glad to see efforts like "RIF" and Jim Kelly's new book, because they focus on kids.
Programmers, kids and parents can all work together to expand the user base of the NXT.

That will pay us back. Spending quality time "growing" our children is the best thing we can possibly do for our world!
Don't take my word for it though. Even if I've spent the last 8 years voluntarily moderating a forum full of kid MindStormers. I can show you a few results. Several "kids" that are a part of the LEGO MindStorms Forum community have grown to hold very important roles in Science and Technology. One example, "BenG" (I've know for at least 7 years) is now an intern at Microsoft in the Robotics division. Many more from all over the world have chosen to get involved in making our life better on this planet and beyond. Buy it or don't buy it...it is the future we build!
This is the payback!

I have to appologize for being so negative. I had been following along a bit, enjoying a mystery, solving the puzzles that were on the front page, thinking this was just put together by some guy creating some quirky puzzles and having fun. Then when the first mission finally becomes available, getting redirected to someplace shady expecting me to pay. Nowhere prior to that was there any indication that payment would be required.
I guess the whole concept that this was a business venture to market something for kids and educators, was never communicated. And when I got to the tradebit site, scam alerts started going off in my head.
Good luck with it all.

RIF cancelled!
- Sep 22, 2006, 12:42:00 PM
Funny, a couple of weeks ago, I had noted that this was a great marketing scheme. Make people feel extra smart by offering solvable puzzles to them. My comment had been deleted, but it looks like this was a gimmick to make money after all.
Jim, you are doing some excellent work here, but please keep it open. I can understand, removing spam (actually all this RIF stuff is kinda spam), but to delete comments simply because you didn't like what they say is a disservice to your readers.
I apologize for saying you were all being duped by the RIF in my previous comment.
- Sep 23, 2006, 5:16:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
I deleted your comment because it said something to the extent of "The NXT STEP had been absorbed or taken over by RIF" - I'm as open-minded as anyone for good discussion, but the comment was insulting AND unsigned (anonymous).
And, quite honestly, I totally disagreed with your assertion - some of those puzzles were tricky...or maybe they weren't and I'm just not that smart. The puzzles were fun, either way. And I guess if you consider their target audience was the 10+ age group, what would be the purpose of posting puzzles that WEREN'T solvable???
I'm sorry to hear that the site has shutdown. Good ideas abound, but some are just ahead of their time, I guess.

"register for a shady looking website like tradebit"
what is that supposed to mean? We are in the business for over 4 years now and I personally stand for my company AND we are not shady! I guess this refers to the old layout on tradebit, which was made by myself and I would agree if you find that ugly... but shady?

How bees make honey is a rather straight forward but fascinating process. The bees gather nectar from a flower which mixes with enzymes in their saliva to make honey. Once the bees have returned to their hive, they deposit the substance into cells in the hive's walls. Excess moisture is removed by the fluttering of the bees' wings, making it ready for consumption.
The variety of honey is limited only by what grows in a given area. The taste and texture of honey is determined by where the bee gathers its nectar and its color can range from white to golden, to deep red or even shades of brown and black.
Benefits Raw honey offers the most health benefits, containing a combination of glucose and fructose and small amounts of proteins, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Raw honey is also believed to have antimicrobial properties and may benefit wound healing. When honey crystallizes, avoid heating it in a microwave, which may destroy its beneficial properties — instead, heat the container in a small pan with water.
Consuming high-quality raw, local honey is also believed to lessen allergies, especially if taken a few months prior to allergy season. Raw honey often contains pollens from the plants providing nectar for the bees.
Researchers from Penn State College of Medicine found that a single dose of buckwheat honey proved more beneficial in children (aged two to 18 years) with upper respiratory tract infections of seven days or less in symptomatic relief of nocturnal cough and sleep difficulty compared to a single dose of dextromethorphan, found in many over-the-counter cough syrups like Robitussin® Pediatric Cough Suppressant. (Honey is not recommended for children under two years of age due to the risk of infantile botulism.)
Sweet Treat Honey can be a delicious addition to tea, mixed into yogurt, drizzled over fruit or hot cereal, or used as a substitute for sugar. To replace one cup of sugar in baked goods, use one half to threequarters cup of honey and reduce liquids by one-quarter cup. Reducing the cooking temperature by 25 degrees is also helpful since honey causes foods to brown more easily.
To find local honey sources, visit local farmers' markets (www.certifiedfarmersmarket.ning.com) or ask your grocer if they carry raw, local honey.

Introducing Erin the Intern
This is Erin, Farm Aid's new intern for the summer and fall. I'm here on a "co-op" job from Northeastern University, where I just finished my third year as a journalism major. (That's "middler year" to all you non-NU people; we are a five-year school, so I am actually going into my junior year).
My first day at the office was Monday, and I've been spending the week getting acclimated, and beginning some projects. We're putting together the "media book" from last year's concert in New York City. The media book is a compilation of all the press that Farm Aid generated around the concert. Farm Aid puts one of these together yearly, with each concert, and they serve as a great example of the level of press and attention that Farm Aid is able to generate!
Of course, the big news around here right now is that we are having a press conference on Tuesday with John Mellencamp to announce the location of the 2008 concert!
I think the office is awesome. I'm still learning the secret of unlocking one of the doors (but if I can't get in, there's a bell). I hear this is the most fully staffed Farm Aid's been for a while so for the moment I have sort of a floating workspace. I'm using Anna's desk right now while since she's on vacation. Anna deals with a lot of the merchandise inventory and orders, and right now I'm sort of boxed in on two sides by boxes of t-shirts – neatly organized and labeled by size, of course. Speaking of t-shirts, I've just seen some designs for this year's concert. From what I understand, at least one new shirt will be available for sale online the day of the press conference.
As my first week here comes to an end, I'm thinking that I'm very excited to be working here. Here are five unique things about the office at Farm Aid: (1) People can bring their dogs to work; (2) If you shout loud enough, pretty much anybody in any part of the office can hear you; (3) People prepare (even cook) their lunches here, just bringing bags of vegetables from a local farmers market; (4) Everyone seems to be on a first-name basis with "Willie"; and (5) Everyone seems to believe in their work, and that belief is also incorporated into their lives.
I think this blog is going to be sort of a weekly thing, but of course there are quite a few people posting on the this site, so keep checking back!

right on! ErinReplyDelete
the #1 main issue should be the immediate growing of HEMP as the solution for ALL American farmers
my site has some links to data BACH,Hemp Car etc.
www.earthpeoplefoundation.org and fairtradefish.org
as we also wish to use hemp seed oil, as in FINOLA {c} for my poor fishermen's boats we are redesigning with a 3 cyl 50 hp bio-diesel motor from Brazil to El Salvador
[fishermen are farmers of the sea]
we also hope to start next year raising fresh water prawns in near poverty level counties in N.Eastern NC, as the yield can be $6-8000 acre vs subsidized soy at $300 and corn and cotton at $0 per acre profit
ok, wake up 'sheeples'
time to mobilize for action like the old days
vamos a ver
keep it blogging

Hello Erin!ReplyDelete
My name is Caroline Malcolm and I am a rising college sophomore at Northeastern! I am so thrilled to see that a fellow husky is doing her co-op at Farm Aid, as it is my goal to do the same! I have been following Farm Aid's work and attending their concerts since I was a little girl. (I can't believe the show is in Mansfield this year)
I am an Environmental Studies major (with an as-of-yet undecided dual major) and I hope to be able to volunteer at Farm Aid before trying to arrange a co-op with them. If you have any advice on how to get involved with the organization, I'd really appreciate it. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts, and I hope you have a wonderful experience!
Erin - Glad you're interning at Farm Aid...sounds like a great place to work. There's much to be said for working in a small office, your own little community if you will. Consider yourself lucky that you can bring your veggies to work and cook them. Awesome! Maybe that novel idea will make it's way to upstate New York.ReplyDelete
Hello Erin! hope you're having fun... I'm shocked that Farm Aid 2008 has sold out... well, not really because it's such amazing talent... but... despite the greatness of the event, you are probly NOT seeing many of the REAL family farmers in the crowd of ticket purchasers... I am married to a Vermont dairy farmer and run a small newspaper in the Champlain Valley called Rural Route Today... I hope my media credentials will provide me with the option of getting to the concert... IF I am able to make the trip... anyway, it's a great effort by wonderful people. I actually got to meet Willie Nelson momentarily here in Vermont... such a sweetheart! Enjoy your work!ReplyDelete
p.s. I concur about Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. They are HOT in music terms... and very good people, too.

Thanks to its central location, excellent infrastructure and state-of-the-art services, Germany is the most important logistics hub in Europe. The home of leading global corporations such as Deutsche Post World Net (no. 1 worldwide), DHL, Schenker and Dachser, it is the European leader with annual revenues of €200 billion and more than 2.65 million employees, and ranks among the best in the world for logistics innovations, technology and services. It is therefore only fitting that the transport ministers from 52 countries, leading industry representatives and researchers come to Germany, or Leipzig to be more precise, every year for the International Transport Forum (ITF), the world's leading conference on transport policy and the transport industry.
The main means of transport in Europe is still the car. Today, the automotive industry generates more revenue than any other in the country, and the German automotive market is the biggest in Europe in terms of production and sales figures (2.9 million new vehicle registrations; 5.5 million new passenger cars manufactured in 2010). With Audi, BMW and MAN (Munich region), Daimler and Porsche (Stuttgart) and Volkswagen (Wolfsburg), Germany is home to many leading car manufacturers as well as an extensive network of innovative automotive suppliers.
The German aerospace industry is also innovative and dynamic, with an annual growth rate of 9 per cent since the mid-1990s. A number of German aerospace companies are working on innovations in the field of engines, lightweight construction and emission reduction. Key global players in the industry have operations in Germany, such as the European Space Agency's satellite control centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt and EADS, the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (Airbus, Astrium) in Bremen.
Centres of expertise for transport and logistics:
Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremen, Darmstadt, Erfurt, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hanover, Kassel, Leipzig, Mannheim, Munich, Nuremberg, Osnabrück, Stuttgart

When people think of brakes, they typically focus on their role in slowing a car down to a stop, but when it comes to performance driving, their main task is to make you faster. Yep, great brakes can knock heapin' chunks off your lap times if you decide to hit the autocross or road course. By having a brake system capable of quickly bleeding off speed repeatedly, a driver can drive deeper into a corner before having to hammer the binders. This ability to carry speed longer adds up over the course of a lap, and can turn an average car into track star.
There also needs to be a discussion about what makes a particular braking system great, which includes more than just their ability to stop a car on a dime. Also important when choosing a performance set of brakes, is to look at their ability to take the punishment inherent to being abused repeatedly over a short period of time. When they can't take the heat, they vacate the kitchen in a little dance we call fade. This is when either the pads exceed the temperature to provide adequate friction, or when heat is transferred into the brake fluid to the point where it boils. Neither of these things will happen when you're cruising around town, but when you hit the track, it's a whole other ballgame.
Baer has been building brakes for a long time now, and of their most popular brake packages has been their Track System. Consisting of a two-piston aluminum caliper and one-piece 13-inch rotor, it's leaps and bounds better than the stock stuff, but it does have limitations. One of these is related to the stiffness of the caliper. They were developed for the street, and under hard braking the bodies can flex, causing a loss of performance. They also feature aluminum pistons. The problem with aluminum is that it's a far better conductor of heat than the stainless steel found in most modern high-performance calipers. This is a bad thing since the last place you want brake heat transmitted is into your fluid. Baer saw these limitations and decided to develop a line of calipers with the performance driver in mind. Their new line of 6P calipers are extremely stiff, feature stainless pistons, and are more than capable of handing trips around any track while maintaining their streetability. Best of all, at $495 per caliper, they won't put you in permanent debt.
So, Baer has a sexy new caliper and scores of customers with Track Systems already on their rides. With this in mind, they developed a kit that would let Track System owners upgrade their rides without buying a whole new brake package. One such longtime Baer customer is autocross maven Mary Pozzi. She's been rockin' a Track System on her '73 Camaro for years now, and knows their good, bad, and ugly sides. With a pair of 6P calipers in hand, we went over to Pozzi Racing to see if we could make her Camaro faster by slowing it down quicker.

Uhh what? Okay I changed it to say "What is different from this and WindowsX' patcher?" The reason I even put the info in the release at all is because if I don't everyone's first comment is "What's different about yours from WindowsX' version?" I'm not saying yours sucks, I'm saying why I made mine, and what it does differently than yours. I also made mine originally for internal use with FlyakiteOSX, so I wouldn't have to rely on other people to keep their patchers updated and so that it could be run silently. Since then I've released the tool publicly and have been trying to keep it as updated as possible.
Such a big word for edited text, huh? Who actually want to blame you for making one more patcher? There're plenty ones out there already even before I made it. Don't take it so personally, dude. Anyway, there's bug in your patcher. If user runs it multiple times, PendingFileRenameOperations registry will be appended again and uxtheme.dll file will be lost.
I don't think yours sucks, but there are definitely flaws, most notably Windows File Protection dialogs and NT Setup file warnings.
Also, as to the PendingFileRenameOperations business, I just tested it by running the patcher 4 times without restarting, so I had 4 sets of entries in PendingFileRenameOperations. Restarted, still had Luna. Downloaded a 3rd-party VS, and it worked fine. You do NOT lose uxtheme.dll. Actually test it before you comment please.

Baring It All: How Not to Have a KStew Moment
We've all seen the photos and heard the rumors: Kristen Stewart showed a little more than a flashy smile and luminous locks at last night's LA premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. She wore a lacy Zuhair Murad dress, and while it was quite striking from afar, look at her up-close, or under the right light, and you'll wish you didn't. Want to avoid this wardrobe malfunction on your wedding day? Here's how:
1. It's called a slip. Wear one. This really should be a no-brainer when you're in the spotlight. The wrong light or even a little wind, could ruin your perfect day-of look.
2. Layered lace. If you insist on wearing a lacy gown, don't fall prey to just one layer of the delicate material. By nature the fabric is soft, sexy…and see-through!
3. Do a test run. When you're first trying on your dress or getting your initial fitting you may be under some bright lights, but you should also try your dress on in natural light before you walk down the aisle. You never know how it will look if you don't give 'er a spin first.

Last Lecture Series
The Division of Student Development and the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs are delighted to announce the first "Last Lecture Series" at Saint Louis University. The Program started in 2003 in the Department of Housing and Residence Life with the First-Year Experience, SHOW ME Achievement Committee.
The concept of a "Last Lecture" became nationally recognized in 2007 with Dr. Randy Pausch, who gave his "Last Lecture" speech on September 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon. Pausch conceived of the lecture after he learned that his pancreatic cancer was terminal. Pausch's Last Lecture has been viewed by millions and can be viewed here.
Each year a faculty member will be selected from student nominations to speak for the Last Lecture series. The Last Lecture series provides an informal format for selected faculty to share reflections from their life's journey and to speak to students as if it was their last lecture ever. There are not any pre-determined boundaries for the program - the faculty member will be speaking from the premise, "If you knew this was your last lecture you would ever give, what would you share with students?"
The 2014 Last Lecture Speaker will be
Father J. A. Wayne Hellmann OFM Conv.
Professor of Medieval Christianity in the Department of Theology
Fr. Wayne Hellmann OFM Conv. grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana and joined the Franciscan friars while yet a college student. He then graduated from the University of Dayton and went to Rome for theological studies and while there he would skip classes to slip into sessions of the Second Vatican Council. It was that event in Rome that inspired him to move to Munich, Germany to pursue doctoral studies in theology at the Ludwigs-Maximilian University. Upon completion of his studies in Munich, he began his academic service at Saint Louis University, and this year he completes forty years here at SLU. During these years he has served as chair of the Department of Theological Studies and for his Franciscan brothers he also served as Minister Provincial. Fr. Wayne has lectured on Francis of Assisi and Franciscan theology/spirituality around the world. Africa is still his favorite continent. Yangon is his favorite city.
Fr Hellmann will address the community on Wednesday, April 30 at 7:00pm in the Saint Louis Room of the Busch Student Center. Please join us to see Fr. Hellmann's Last Lecture!

Orlando Addiction Counseling & Substance Abuse Therapy Services | Addictions Therapists and Substance Abuse Counselors Offices in our offices located in Southwest Orlando, Winter Park, East Orlando, Lake Mary, & Clermont Florida.
Do you or your teen suffer from some type of addiction? Have you noticed that your addiction has interfered with your life? Do you feel that there is an underlying reason for this addiction?
Addictions can be many different things. There are sexual addictions, gambling addictions, alcohol addictions, drug addictions, and many more. These addictions are symptoms of an underlying pain, whether it is physical or mental. No matter what kind of addiction it is, the fact that it is there shows that a person is trying to cope with their pain. Therefore, in order to treat the addiction, the source of the emotional hurt or trauma needs to be treated. Whether you have some idea of what that pain might be, or aren't sure about what it could be, addictions counseling with trauma therapies can get to the root of the hurt and free you from your addiction.

Finding the Right Counselor
Denial: It can be difficult to admit that you or someone you love has an addiction. It can also be difficult to find someone you trust to help you on the path to recovery. Maybe you've taken that brave first step and admitted that there is a problem. Perhaps you've decided that counseling is what you need to help you overcome your addiction. But how can you know which counselor to turn to? At Total Life Counseling, we go to great lengths to find the right counselor and the most effective therapeutic approaches to make sure that you are receiving the best care possible. Our counselors are well trained, highly experienced, and constantly being interviewed by print,radio, and television media. Not only are they professionals, they are friendly, welcoming, and will work with you to come up with a plan. When you come in to start your road to recovery, you can be sure that you will be in a safe, non-judgmental environment full of caring individuals who are ready to start wherever you are.
Addictions Services:
Adolescent Addictions – Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Clermont Addiction Counseling and Therapy
Have you decided that your teen needs help to overcome their addiction? Or does your teen have a court order for counseling? Maybe it's your teen who has decided that they need to seek help. No matter the reason, Total Life Counseling can help your teen by assessing the situation within 1-3 days, creating a plan to help them get back on track, and working with them to help them overcome their addiction.
Drug & Alcohol, Adult Substance Abuse Therapy in Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Clermont, FL
Everyone deserves to have a happy, drug and alcohol free lifestyle. The problem is, it can be difficult to overcome the underlying cause that led to the addiction, especially on your own. Everyone needs a little help sometimes, and counseling could be the help that you need and deserve. At Total Life Counseling, our counselors use a mix of traditional psychotherapy and a technique called EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique to help you overcome the underlying cause of your addiction.
Codependency | Counseling for codependency issues in Orlando, Clermont, Winter Park, Lake Mary FL
Do you feel the need to keep everyone happy, but deny yourself the same pleasure? Have you noticed that your opinion of yourself is based on what others think of you? Do you feel like you're the one who has to help fix other people's issues, despite any pain that you're going through? There are many troubles that individuals go through when they are codependent, but realizing it might just be the hardest step. It is, however, the first step on the road to recovering from it. Counseling can help you by working through and issues that you might have and by creating boundaries that are much healthier for your everyday life. Always remember, you don't have to suffer, you deserve true happiness too.
Like any other addiction, a sexual addiction can be seen as a coping mechanism for an individual. It has been estimated that 60% of individuals who have this addiction were sexually abused when they were children, and for these individuals it is possible that this abuse is where the addiction stems from. If you suffer from this type of addiction, there are ways that counseling could work for you. Our counselors will work with you to help you recover from whatever the root cause is, as well as help you build healthy, reliable relationships with those around you. No one has to simply live their life with an addiction, and with some work and maybe a little help you could live the healthy, addiction free lifestyle that you deserve.

I was looking at this image from the back of the NXT demo box, and I noticed something. In the upper right corner you can see the text "QuickStart Guide - in just 30 minutes, your first robot is in action."
I may be wrong, but I think that the robot shown there IS the robot that can be built in less than 30 minutes. This bot appears to be the equivalent to the RIS "Pathfinder" bot from the Constructopedia (version 1.5 is what I have). Both are wheeled bots and (from what I can see) neither has any sensors configured.
All NXT robot images (with wheels) I've seen so far appear to be variations of this bot. Other bots may be built in 30 minutes or less, but I think this is the one that LEGO may be using to demonstrate the quick build.
For this reason, I also think the QuickStart Guide has only 1 design (with maybe some suggestions for modifying it). The other information is probably in the 2nd book (with the CD on top of it in the image).
I bring this information up only because I think the other bots may be more time consuming - I don't think we can assume that all 18 Challenges with the kit can be built in such a short time.

UNCW Cameron School of Business Tops National List of Low-Cost MBA Programs
Download High-Resolution Photos
Wednesday, August 29, 2012
The University of North Carolina Wilmington Cameron School of Business ranks first on a national list, compiled by U.S. News & World Report, that measures the average debt load among MBA program graduates.
According to the U.S. News Short List, Cameron School students who earned a Master of Business Administration degree in 2011 graduated with an average of $8,000 in debt borrowed to further their education.
"UNCW's placement at the top of the Short List emphasizes our commitment to making a high-quality, advanced education as affordable as possible," said Larry Clark, dean of the Cameron School of Business. "Our MBA students graduate with a wealth of real-world experience and limited debt, which positions them to succeed in a variety of business settings."
The list compiled statistics provided by 94 schools nationwide. On average, class of 2011 MBA graduates who borrowed for business school finished with $47,743 in debt. MBA programs at some schools surveyed left graduates owing as much as $100,000 on average.
UNCW is the only university in North Carolina to make the list's top 10 of MBA programs with the lowest student debt.
"We're very proud of our MBA graduates, who hold leadership positions with firms like ConAgra, Morgan Stanley and Ernst & Young, among others," said Chancellor Gary L. Miller. "The quality of our MBA program, plus our affordability, make UNCW an outstanding choice for savvy future business executives and entrepreneurs."

Colon, Brown & Wallace practicePosted by on December 6, 2012 – 4:24 pm
Tackle Willie Colon was back at practice on Thursday and is hoping to play this Sunday against the San Diego Chargers.
"I feel good, I feel real good," said Colon. "I ran around, I was able to pull, do the necessary things I needed to do. I will see how it reacts tomorrow and try to go this Sunday."
Colon missed the last two games after a bruise on his knee swelled up.
"I had to drain it a couple of times," said Colon, who said he thinks it will be a game time decision whether he plays this week or not.
Also returning to practice were receivers Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace, while fellow receiver Emmanuel Sanders was limited in practice after missing practice on Wednesday.
Not practicing on Thursday were tackle Mike Adams (ankle), punter Drew Butler (illness), safeties Ryan Clark (hip) and Troy Polamalu (not injury related), quarterback Byron Leftwich (ribs), cornerback Ike Taylor (ankle), and linebacker LaMarr Woodley (ankle).

The Hawaiian Islands Invitational hosted all four teams in the tournament at the Starlight Waikiki Luau on Wednesday evening. A nice traditional Hawaiian dinner was followed by a live show. At one point the dancers went around and grabbed one player from Rapids - Stew Ceus, and a player from Busan and brought them on stage to dance. Imagine what the other teams might have thought of the Rapids when they saw the huge Stew up there. CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS.
The skills competition continued after Wednesday's practice inside Aloha Stadium. Today is was the Crossbar Challenge. It's very simple: kick a ball from 20 yards and try to hit the crossbar. The team that hit it most wins. It was funny to see how many guys hit the bar while goofing around, but then...well, here you go:
Yesterday we told you about the competition the guys are involved in this week. It's an off-shoot of a game that Oscar was part of during preseasons with Dallas. In those days they called it Survivor, because the teams of two would be eliminated at every challenge. There are no eliminations in this Rapids version - only point accumulations, with the team that wins the most challenges taking the prize. As such, there's no name for this yet. Maybe you can suggest some?
Anyway, we realized we hadn't told you how the teams are split:
Pablo's team: Tyrone, Jaime, Eddie, Tony, Stew, and Brian.
Jeff's team: Ross, Scott, Ian, Davy, Kohei, and Luis.
Matt's team: Omar, Kosuke, Andre, Josh, Dillon, and Joel.
Drew's team: Marvell, Wells, Joseph, Steven, Quincy, and George.
The coaching staff made the teams, but on the first day each team had to select one player to trade to another team. Jeff's team traded Brian to Pablo's team, with Pablo's team sending Kohei to Jeff's team. Matt's team traded Steven to Drew's team in exchange for Joel.
As you see in the post below, Drew's team won the Header's competition. The next challenge was trivia, which took place during the team dinner.
Myself and our PR Director David Lindholm were asked to come up with a mixture of trivia questions. We thought that we'd be asking the same questions to the group, and which ever team had the most correct would win. But the coaches wanted the guys to have to call out the answers, knowing that when they'd get one wrong the other teams would laugh, etc.
Well, this presented a challenge for us. Now we were tasked with deciding which questions to ask each team - and of course, some teams felt cheated when they got questions they didn't know and others got easier one. We tried to make it even, asking each team a question about players from the Deep Thoughts videos, or Hawaii fun facts, or general sports trivia. But inevitably, even when we tried to throw a team a bone, they'd get the question wrong.
At the end, Jeff's team won it, answering correctly on all but one. Pablo's team took second place, followed by Drew's, and then Matt's.
Amidst the training and preparation, the players will also be involved in a friendly competition that will happen throughout the stay in Hawaii. The coaches split the 28 players into four teams of seven - led by Pablo Mastroeni, Matt Pickens, Drew Moor, and Jeff Larentowicz, respectively. We don't yet know all the rules, but we know they'll be challenged on and off the field in fun exercises and activities, with the winners of each event gaining points.
After today's scrimmage and practice, the coached came up with this race: each team member had to head a ball backwards to a teammate, and so on. The team that made it to the end of the field without the ball hitting the ground was the winner. They had a few minutes to figure out their strategy, which for some was a matter of order.
Drew's team made it down on the first try, Pablo's team finished second. And after a number of re-starts (when the ball hit the ground), Jeff's team came in third. Unfortunately for Matt, they didn't even need to continue trying to finish.
With one camera we had to choose which team to follow. I liked Pablo's team's strategy, so I chose them and missed the winning race. So even though we missed it, we figured we might as well show the footage we got:
After the team completed their first training session in Hawaii, the schedule showed the afternoon was off - no training. But at lunch, the learned it was only off from a full training session. The guys that are playing in the scrimmage on Tuesday had a video session with the coaching staff, and the rest of the guys went for a gym workout. Still, they were all done by around 4:30, which gave them plenty of time to have some fun on the beach right in front of the hotel.
It started out just laying on the beach, but soon they got to digging. Davy Armstrong (above), Quincy Amarikwa, and Joel Helmick used their sandals to made the pit, then Davy volunteered to be the first one in. Soon, Ross LaBauex and Andre Akpan began pushing the sand on top, then Tony Cascio and Steven Emery. In no time, Davy was covered by 2-3 feet of sand, but he was easily able to get out.
So now the challenge was making it more difficult for the next person. Quincy begins digging closer to the ocean, where the water would weigh the sand down.
Now is was Tony's turn, sitting in the pit as the guys used their legs, arms, and sandals to cover him up. It worked, Tony couldn't move, needing their help to get out. CLICK HERE FOR MORE PICS
For the team, one of the best ways to prepare for a season is to be uninterrupted by weather - that's why so many MLS teams - including the Rapids - often spend much of the preseason in warmer climates. For the game day production crew - and other departments - it doesn't help when the players aren't around.
The production crew needs the players for photo shoots or video interviews - things you see on the scoreboard on gamedays. The marketing department needs photos or videos even earlier (you may have already seen some of the billboards around town). The media department has their own early deadlines, as they have a short window to submit their media guide content (as complete as possible) and get the books in time for the start of the season. And of course, for event like the Supporters Forum or last night's Rookie Season Ticket Holder Orientation, we need to wait for the guys to be around.
So back to the photos / videos. In order to facilitate it, the players were split into two shoots (you'd be surprised how long it takes to shoot some of this stuff). If you've seen the billboards and spots running on 9News, Pablo and Conor were in the early shoot - taken before the team left for California. Today we were able to squeeze in the rest of the team - before they leave for Hawaii.
It's somewhat of a guessing game for the staff, because with a large group of players - we don't know who will make the final roster or not. So we try to fit in as many guys as possible to have their photos ready.
The shoots took place at the Pepsi Center on the Denver Nuggets practice court. As you see in the photo above - which is clearly taken with a phone camera (the pro photographer was busy) - Quincy Amarikwa, Ross LaBauex, Andre Akpan, and Wells Thompson are playing a game of Knockout while they waited their turns. Hunter Freeman (left) and Joel Helmick (right) give us a sneak peak at the 2012 uniforms.
It took a little while, but the 2011 year-end award winners finally received their trophies last night.
Wells Thompson - Humanitarian of the Year, Drew Moor - Defender of the Year, and Jeff Larentowicz - Golden Boot winner and Most Valuable Player, were given their awards at the Rookie Season Ticket Holder Orientation on Wednesday evening in the press level of Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The players then stuck around for an informal forum, displaying a more personal (and funny) side than fans may know from seeing them on the field.
Wells talked about getting married in the offseason, saying how his friend bluntly told him he couldn't believe he found a women that said yes...Jeff said he was ok with Kosuke wanting to be a Ginger Ninja, 'now there can be two of us.' And Drew showed the large gathering of fans why he's the Ironman by standing up from behind to let them see his 165-pound small frame, and also by flexing.
The players then also talked briefly about their seasons and their successes. Wells may have taken the spotlight, however, by telling a story of his rookie year, when some senior players put Icy Hot in his underwear and tshirts, and his reaction when he put them both on. But that wasn't it, he also told the fans about the chickens and ducks he raises, including one that looks like the Aflac duck.
The players enjoyed the night, and we hope all the first and second-year season tickets did also. We look forward to seeing everyone at the games all year!
Yesterday we posted the news that Mexican forward Daniel Frias joined the Rapids preseason camp. For some reason his name had a familiar ring to it. Upon googling him, I came across his story - and photos, and videos, and more stories.
His full name is Julio Daniel Frias Adema. He goes by Daniel Frias, but he's also often referred to as "El Maleno," which Oscar Pareja tells me it roughly translates as "The neighborhood guy."
He's somewhat of a legend in Cuidad Juarez (Mexico), the place where he was born and name of the team on which he debuted in the Mexican First Division at age 29. Previously, he played in El Paso, Texas. THIS STORY IN THE EL PASO TIMES is about his journey from the minor leagues of U.S. soccer, to the top division in Mexico.
But that doesn't tell his full story - the reason behind the support he's received from his hometown. Frias had a troubled youth which included violence and drugs - in a city still known for such issues. But thanks to soccer, he straightened himself out, making his pro debut at 20-year-old (lower division). He's been greatful for the support he's received and opportunities he's been presented with ever since. HERE'S MORE OF HIS STORY IN ESTO (SPANISH)
Twenty-nine is thought to be an 'old' age for a player to finally make a top division. But his story goes even futher. After Juarez was relegated, he signed with Jaguares and last year (April 2011) he scored a goal in the prestigious Copa Libertadores. (Google his name for more info and highlights)
Jeff Larentowicz may be the original Ginger Ninja, but it's looking like he might have some competition. Kosuke Kimura returned from the California portion of preseason with red hair, though that was not his intention...he explains in the video below:
In recognition that the club expects to announce a new player later today - one who had been referred to by Paul Bravo and Tim Hinchey as a playmaker, or "a #10" - we put compiled the history of the Colorado Rapids all-time #10s. See how many you can answer....we'll post the history on ColoradoRapids.com at some point following the announcement.
How many players have worn the #10 for the Rapids since 1996?
What was the only year that no Rapids player wore #10?
Which Rapids #10s scored playoff goals?
How many Rapids #10s were born in the United States?
How many Rapids #10 were born in Africa?
How many Rapids #10s were born in South America?
How many Rapids #10s were born in Europe?
How many Rapids #10s were born in Central America or the Caribbean?
Name the three Rapids #10s that attended college in the USA?
Which Rapids #10s were acquired during a season?
Of those #10s acquired within a season, how many goals did they combine to score in the season they were acquired?
Which player changed from #10 to a new number after one season?
Who is the only #10 to coach a game for the Rapids?
Which #10 scored the first-ever goal at Dick's Sporting Goods Park?

New Video - NXT and short interview with Soren Lund

Sorry to disagree with you, but I know people who don't like QuickTime and others who don't like Windows Media Player. I cannot make judgements here on one format versus another... that's for someone else's blog.
- Feb 19, 2006, 12:44:00 PM
I stand corrected. Counting Google hits is a poor measure of Internet consensus, but according to this metric, you're more correct than I am.
"hate real media" (1250) + "hate realmedia" (419) + "hate real networks" (249) + "hate realnetworks" (223) = ~2141
"hate quicktime" (2490) + "hate apple quicktime" (50) = ~2540
"hate windows media" (9720)
So Real scores 2141, Quicktime scores 2540, and Windows Media scores 9720.
Even if we add in file extensions (which is much more likely to unbalance results) we end up with:
Real: 3571
Quicktime: 3056
Windows Media: 11380
So consider my complaint retracted.

Not a problem. I've learned that when it comes to blogs, if you take a side on an issue, comments tend to start popping up on the side-issue and ignore the original purpose of the blog (which in this case, is all things NXT).
I hope you're enjoying the information AND looking forward to NXT's release.

Assistant Professor of Material & Visual Culture
, Art and Design History and Theory
Freyja Hartzell is Assistant Professor of Material and Visual Culture in the School of Art and Design History and Theory. She received her PhD in the History of Art from Yale University in 2012, and her MA in Design, Decorative Arts, and Material Culture from the Bard Graduate Center in 2005. Her research and teaching span topics in the history of European art, design, and architecture from 1800 through 1950, with special emphasis on German visual and material culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She is also concerned with the significance of both theoretical discourse and fictional narrative in the history of architecture and design, and teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on the roles of period literature and contemporary writing in the study of visual and material culture, including: Integrative Seminars 1 and 2; Against Nature: Modernism in 19th-Century Europe; Tales of Seduction: Architecture and Design in Literature; and Writing Design: How to Think, Talk, and Write about Objects.
Dr. Hartzell has published articles on fin-de-siècle Parisian fashion and furniture; early 19th-century Biedermeier interiors and theatricality; the modernization of German stoneware ceramics; and the significance of Medieval and Renaissance culture for German modernism. Her reseach has been supported by the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies, the DAAD, and the Central European History Society. Ongoing research interests include the intersection of materiality and cultural politics in modern design, as well qualities of agency, animation, and "thingliness" in the conception and reception of designed objects. Dr. Hartzell's current book project – Designs on the Body: The Modern Art of Richard Riemerschmid – examines how Munich artist Richard Riemerschmid's early 20th-cenury designs for housewares, interiors, and clothing force a reconception canonical modernism.

Name: Dominick Pelletier
Fatal mistakes: Misunderstanding the "Investigation" part of "Federal Bureau of Investigation"; believing that honesty is always the best policy.
The circumstances: On Aug. 29, 2008—his birthday—Pelletier interviewed for a job with the FBI. During the interview, Pelletier volunteered that he had once done research on child pornography as part of a graduate school project. As the interview progressed, Pelletier revealed to the incredulous agents that he had child pornography on his home computer, that he possibly had hardcore child pornography on his home computer, and that he had "inadvertently" created child pornography by filming himself having sex with an underage girl. Not only did Pelletier volunteer all this information, he apparently went home thinking he was still a candidate for the job: Upon leaving, he inquired if "this was going to slow down the application process?"
Yeah, it sort of did. Earlier this year, Pelletier was convicted of one count of possession of child pornography and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison with no possibility of parole. Last week, the Seventh Circuit affirmed Pelletier's conviction. The opening of Judge Michael Kanne's tremendously entertaining opinion is worth quoting in full:
"Federal investigative agents will tell you that some cases are hard to solve. Some cases require years of effort—chasing down false leads and reigning in flighty witnesses. Others require painstaking scientific analysis, or weeks of poring over financial records for a hidden clue. And some cases are never solved at all—the right witness never comes forward, the right lead never pans out, or the right clue never turns up.This is not one of those cases."

A lone polar bear waits for a Metro train at Gallery Place/Chinatown metro station in Washington, D.C.As part of a Greenpeace project that has polar bears showing up in places all around the world calling attention to the disastrous Arctic oil exploration. The Arctic is coming under assault and needs people from around the world to stand up and demand action to protect it. The campaign calls for a ban on oil drilling and unsustainable fishing in Arctic waters. The campaign will also push for a sanctuary in the uninhabited area around the pole that would in a stroke stop polluting industries colonising the top of the world.06/21/2012
