Let's Find a Way: NXT 1.0 to NXT 2.0
So maybe now it's time to really start brainstorming. I'm not 100% familiar with BrickLink, having never ordered any parts from it. But I have browsed it quite a bit and realize that there is a vendor for just about every part... if you're willing to pay, right?
So, what's a solution? Well, we've had a discussion in an earlier post about possibly trying to convince a BrickLink vendor to create an "upgrade pack" - this would be a pack that would include ONLY those pieces in the 2.0 kit that are NOT found in the 1.0 kit. This would include quantity matches, so if the 1.0 kit comes with 4 of a particular part and the 2.0 kit comes with 10 of that same part, the Upgrade Pack would come with 6 of that part (4 + 6 = 10).
Someone mentioned that some of the parts are rare or hard to find in small quantities and have to be extracted from other LEGO kits. That is a problem. Given that LEGO is very unlikely to start adding Technic parts to the "Pick a Brick" bin at your local LEGO Store, I'm not sure how this could be solved. Maybe a BrickLink vendor is buying in such large quantity from LEGO that they could request special parts in larger quantities to create the Upgrade Pack. Ideas? Thoughts?
Another option is to appeal to LEGO directly. Well, many of us have done so... and the offical response seems to be no response. I don't think this means that LEGO is being unreasonable, just that they've probably got bigger production issues on their agenda than the issue of an Upgrade Pack. That said, if every 1.0 owner... and I mean EVERY 1.0 owner suddenly emailed LEGO saying "I'd buy an Upgrade Pack" than likely we'd probably get our bag. Why? I'm guessing here, but let's assume that LEGO sold over 250,000 NXT 1.0 kits (probably a very low guess, but they're not giving us actual numbers)... well, if they figured they could sell 250,000 Upgrade Packs, I imagine they'd find a way to get that bag into production. My guess only... I could be wrong.
Another option is to book writers to provide building and programming instructions for 1.0 and 2.0 kits. Speaking as a writer, this is a VERY difficult sell to a publisher. First, most books have a maximum page count... let's say 250. With a 250 page book, I (the writer) can provide building and programming instructions for, say, 10 NXT 2.0 robots. If I choose to provide 1.0 instructions, now I have to cut that to 5 robots - the building and programming instructions are double the pages now. It's totally possible to do this, but I think (and my editor who I talked to about this thinks the same thing) that sales of the book will be lower than if the book focuses on just the 1.0 kit or the 2.0 kit, but not both. And while I'm on the subject, publishers are not likely to publish two versions of a book. Why? Because they have to pay the author twice for a large portion of the same content (two books, two contracts, two advances, etc.) and they have twice the risk if both books don't sell as well.
What options are left? Telling 1.0 owners to buy the 2.0 kit is easy to say, but at $250.00 or more, it's not a realistic expectation.
This entire issue could be compared to a game console changeover or even software version updates... some will say "Hey, onward and upward - buy the latest version" - just like PlayStation, XBox, and Nintendo owners complain about the products new version every 3 or 4 years (or less). But I'm not sure that argument holds - as I understand it, most game consoles will play games for earlier consoles... 2.0 owners can't necessarily build or use the programs of earlier robots designed with 1.0, right? Some, maybe... but not the majority is my guess.
So, I'll open this up for more discussion - maybe LEGO will even be listening. I have to admit it would be great as a writer to be able to offer up new books and know that both 1.0 and 2.0 owners can use my material... but I can't assume that will become a reality... therefore I have to write for the latest kit (2.0) because it's what my publishers want. But in reality, it comes down to what the community wants. I'm fairly certain the 1.0 owners outnumber the 2.0 owners (for now)... I truly wish that 1.0 owners had the ability to upgrade their kit to the 2.0 (like Windows XP and Vista upgrading to Windows 7 for a slightly lower price). Speak up, let LEGO know, and maybe something will happen. But don't count on it - instead, let's try and find a way to get the 1.0 to 2.0 upgrade on our own. This is one of the most creative, "make it happen" groups around... let's see what we can come up with...

I sell on Bricklink and, given the availability of parts, would be happy to do this. Here are the problems: The LEGO color sensor and NXT-G 2.0 Retail. Neither can be purchased separately without buying the NXT 2.0 kit.
I spent three months trying to find just the sensor and the software through other sources. The Educational software, at $80, is not quite the same.
I've gone ahead and purchased the new kit. However, I would be happy to add my voice to the request to LEGO to make an upgrade path happen.

I should have addressed that in my post - I've always believed the Upgrade Pack should include just the parts and the extra Touch Sensor... not the Color Sensor. IMO, the Light Sensor can be substituted for the Color Sensor if the user is willing to go grayscale for challenges/etc...
If someone were able to provide the parts, the extra Touch Sensor, and a reasonable price, he/she would likely sell a ton of these.

I'm a major programmer and like to use the NXT 1.1 software. As a normal NXT guru, I'm not going to buy the NXT 2.0 Kit until the NXT 2.1 software comes out. Even if that takes 3 years, I'm not upgrading to the new, glitchy software. It would be great if they had the Color Sensor, Software, and Firmware seperate from the Kit. I like the idea of an upgrade pack overall.

Jim I dont think you can compare NXt's to consoles, having two consoes is pointless, having two NXT's opens up a whole new world of possibilities!
I think that anyone who managed to save up over the past few years really could do so again.
The Real problem I see is that NXT2 sets are in the shops and NXT1 books are still on sale.
I do feel that there could now be another section in the NXT2 books. Maybe a final chapter on using 2 NXT's, both remote and cooperative robots, and even competitive robots, sumo style! I would advise that any ideas used an NXT2 set and a set of the shared parts form the NXT1&2, So the ideas are open to anyone with either NXT1 & NXT2 sets or two NXT2 Sets.

Aaron I own NXTG2 software, its really just another service pack for NXTG1 its not a whole new software, Its no way near as glitchy as 1 was.
You don't have to wait. (Its not like a new version of windows!)
It does bring many new possibilities with the decimals but all the integer functions are still there, so it is backwards compatible, see Steve Hassenplug's site on how to set up an integer blocks pallet.

I very much doubt there will be an official upgrade pack any time soon. Doing that would cripple the sales of the new set.
However, maybe authors could make a joint effort to collaborate with a certain private seller in order to provide an 'upgrade' pack in much the same way as was done for some books that contained challenges that needed extra parts.
I believe it would also e interesting to start introducing more NXC in these books. It really isn't that much more difficult to use and would allow NXT-G 1 users to use new sensors, whether LEGO or not.
As has been pointed out, the light sensor could be used in most cases and a small extra subheading could be added explaining how to make a model even cooler using the Color Sensor, including code examples in NXC for the LEGO and HiTechnic Color Sensor

I agree completely, although I was thinking of purchasing an NXT 2.0 set anyway. It would be nice to be able to get an upgrade pack. They did, after all, do that with RIS 1.0 and 1.5

Jim - An upgrade pack, no matter who makes it would be great, but I can assure everyone that dealing with BrickLink is WONDERFUL. I've never had a problem with the service. It's very professional and fast. You might automatically think it's something like eBay, but it's not. It always seems to me to be run much tighter - If you see it in a store it's in stock and will be shipped ASAP. I would have to say the hardest part is setting your search filters so you only get returns for your respective country, but once that's done it's like LEGO heaven :-)

I can understand breaking backwards compatability between major updates (such as from the RCX to the NXT), but minor updates (RCX 1.0 -> 1.5 -> 2.0) really shouldn't do so.
I had started looking into what it would take to provide an upgrade kit. Certainly there would be no way to provide the NXT 2.0 mat, the software is an issue (as Bill Shaw mentioned), and, even if you get the hitechnic colour sensor (which, in many ways, is a better color sensor), it doesn't let you turn on LEDs of different colours, which is a fun and neat effect.
I think all the parts can be obtained beyond that, but not in the same colours as in the NXT 2 kit. Particularly problematic in this regard are the Zamor Spheres. In the NXT 2 kit, they are bright and colourful and easily recognized by the colour sensor. In the Zamor Sphere's set (the only other way to obtain them), they are not vibrant colours and I doubt they would be easily distinguised by the colour sensor (rendering devices like the colour sorter useless).
All that said, I'd love to buy a kit with all the pieces (even in different colours) that the 2.0 set has that the 1.0 set does not have (but not the mat, software, or colour sensor). (If someone provides one, even over brick link, please put up a link!) It would be nice to have the option to buy the hitechnic colour sensor, and just maybe the educational software (but $80 is hard to swallow!) separately. I don't see that anything can be done about the mat (without violating copyright), but it isn't a big deal.
Next, though, there is an equal need for a retrograde kit, so that all new NXT owners can make use of all of the instructions out there for the 1.0 kit.
As for writing books, I think the best bet is to go for a lowest common denominator -- use the pieces that all the sets you are interested in have in common. I don't have a nice chart of what is in common, and I don't know if that is too stifling (especially with the NXT 2 set being short on gears), but it seems like the best bet to me. Perhaps you could occasionally have one step done in two different ways, depending upon the kit -- but the whole model need not be duplicated in the book.
How did Lego come to provide an add-on set for the Educational NXT set so that users could build the Mayan Adventure models?

The tricky thing with BL is finding all the parts you need in as few places as possible, so an (un)official pack would make things a lot easier.
- Nov 17, 2009, 3:06:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
Not sure if it's still the case, but LEGO Ed created the Mayan Parts Pack by pulling the missing pieces from either extra Resource Sets or other LEGO kits... true story. Someone would physically remove the pieces from a Resource Set or other kit and they'd collect them in a small bag for sale.
As for the color issue of parts - beggars can't be choosers, right? If a 1.0 owner wants to build 2.0 models, they'll likely have to deal with multi-color robots, not the consistent NXT colors we've come to know.
And yes, there should be a 2.0 to 1.0 "Downgrade Pack" - not downgrade as in a loss of quality, okay?
Believe me, trying to develop a robot that can be built with just the overlapping parts of a 1.0 and 2.0 kit is difficult - I've tried. You're extremely limited... think about it, if the 1.0 kit has 10 of a part and the 2.0 kit as 4 of them, you can only use 4... and vice-versa... You're limited on two different sides.
- Nov 17, 2009, 3:13:00 AM
- Armagon said...
Wow. I can't believe that's how Lego Education made the Mayan kits. Good heavens.
True, beggars can not be choosers. I have no problem with different colours for my building elements. I just worry about kids being disappointed that they can't use the colour sensor with their balls.
It is a shame that the overlap is so bad. It would seem that LEGO did not see much value in retaining backwards compatibility, and, for so many of us, the original NXT was a big purchase, making it really difficult to justify a second kit.
Lastly, "downgrade" sounds like a bad thing, which is why I propose calling it a "retrograde" kit.

You can post your request here - I'll be sending a link to this discussion and its comments to my LEGO contacts...
Another option might be to call Tech Support and ask them to pass the word up the chain...
Anyone else have any ideas?

I've done some additional research. Based on my comparison, there are 47 unique items for a total part count of 171 pieces needed to bring the NXT 1.0 kit up to the parts needed to build NXT 2.0 models. Looking at my inventory, I have all but 11 items and these could be readily obtained.
Two caveats - I ignored the NXT-G software and color sensor. I also didn't have exact colors for every item. The best I could promise would be a grab bag of colors but all elements would be otherwise correct.
The Bricklink price (excluding shipping) is around $60 for these parts. If I created a custom set for $75, do you think this price would be feasible? It's obviously quite a bit less than a new kit, but the price/part is high (granted, many of the parts are over $1 each and the touch sensor is between $10 and $15).
If I see a favorable response, I would be willing to setup preorders in my store at www.inanimatereason.com and then put them online at Bricklink once I had all parts in hand. Shipping weight would be around a pound (say $6 or so within the US). Preordered sets would ship in 2-3 weeks to be received well in time for the holidays.

I know Jim Kelly said that publishers wouldn't be as happy if part of a book was devoted to instructions for NXT 1.0 versions of 2.0 robots, so how about a list of suggestions on accomplishing the same with the 1.0 robot set? Say you write something about using the 2.0 robot to complete a task not readily amenable to the 1.0 robot and you include a list of suggestions on making it work, such as using more of a particular kind of piece (readily available in the 1.0 kit) to construct something similar, simplify the task to be amenable to the 1.0 sensors, etc. Just a few suggestions can get us learning how to us the 1.0 set in new ways. It's inevitable 1.0 users will have to figure some things out, but it would increase the challenge of working with Lego robots.

- iMarc said...
Hi Jim, yes I'd add one last suggestion: forget the upgrade/downgrade/retrograde whatever we call it kit and look at it as an NXT Add-on. The idea is for LEGO to come up with a cool boxed add-on containing pieces that anyone would want. i.e. NXT Edu, NXT 1 technic lovers or even those with an NXT2 looking for more cool part -- and would allow anyone not owning the latest NXT2 package to build stuff proposed in all those cool new book coming our way.
Something like the Education Resource kit but retail version and instead of instruction there could be a glossy flyer showing off all the NXT(n) books. This would allow them to reach all NXT user without limiting to only NXT1 users looking for upgrade and would include new part not even found in NXT 2.0 kits opening the door to write even more books! all that for under 100$ :) thats what we need a kit we all want to add to cart NOW

@Parax: OK, I'll upgrade soon, because of the Image and Sound Editor, otherwise I don't care. :)
Here's what I would do for this as a normal NXT dude, I'd just wait for the Color Sensor, NXT-G 2.0, and the 1.28 Firmware to become sold seperately, and wait for the Retail Software to go on sale for like $15 like Retail 1.1 in the past. Then that takes care of the most-wanted upgrade electronics (for me), then I already have the awesome T-Pieces from BrickLink. I also would get the white decoration pieces if possible, but I don't really care because I design all of my own robots and don't usually build from any instructions.
So, that's my plan if anyone relates to that.
-Aaron :)

- tim said...
I too have had very good luck with BrickLink, so that part of the situation I am comfortable with.
I think this could be broken into two parts:
1: those (like me) who have purchased 2.0 kits and don't have the parts to support the huge range of books and websites that were developed with the 1.0 kits.
2: Those that have 1.0 kits and want the additional parts that come with the 2.0 sets.
The second is easier because all someone has to to do buy 2.0 kits and part them out. The downside is the seller runs the risk of ending up with a bunch of 2.0 NXT bricks that might be hard to sell.
To make the fist set, which I think at this point is more valuable, parts would need to be cobbled from various production kits and other inventories to find the necessary pieces. Some part/color combinations were not available in kits other than the original NXT sets (the large colored balls, for example). This is where a decision would have to be made as to how valuable the exact color/part combination would be, or if a substitute would be acceptable.
Personally, I'd opt for the parts first, and colors second. But a bag of all perfectly matched parts would be a premium.

Jim - I took some time this afternoon and made an excel SS of what it takes to go from 1.0 to 2.0. It's a little confusing because the inventory of each was broken down into colors but basically your looking at about 50ish add'l parts and to buy them in from BL would cost between $50-$60 before shipping (this doesn't include the color sensor, mat or CD). To then resell them as a "upgrade" kit the person would probably be looking for $75-$85 plus shipping, maybe more. Because of the relative scarceness of some of the items the prices for some of the bits was surprisingly high. Remember too that some parts would also be used.
So, anyone interested in a copy of the SS can PM me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Since Jim Kelly said publishers would likely balk at supporting books that have significant instructions for 1.0 kits, how about just publishing instructions for 2.0 kits and include a list of suggestions (less than a page long) for accomplishing something similar with the 1.0 kit? For example, if there's a vehicle using the 2.0 kit, the suggestions can include ways to do a similar vehicle with the 1.0 kit, including substituting parts, recommending a sensor from HiTechnic, etc. Because they are suggestions, those with 1.0 kits will probably enjoy the challenge of duplicating the 2.0 kit with 1.0 kit parts plus a few extras.

For what it's worth, I've made a kit available inspired by your blog post. This being my first custom kit of any kind, I'll be curious to see how well received it is. If it does well, I intent to follow up with the retrograde kit to allow NXT 2.0 owners to build projects from books written for NXT 1.x.
Here's the kit:

- Enrique said...
I am definitely a potential customer for Bill Shaw's kit. I would even purchase an "enriched" kit version, with a bundled color sensor (HT's or not, which the 1.x set lacks), if total price would be lower than purchasing them separate.
The post I liked the best, especially for the creativity is iMarc's. I think this approach could be very convincing to LEGO. This cool "add-on set" could have great sales potential not only as an "upgrade kit", but it would also enhance the set of *any* NXT owner. In this way LEGO would not "cripple" the sales of 2.0 kits. (This add-on would not include the NXT-G 2.0, but would include one touch and the new RGB sensor). The key would be the price differencial with the 2.0 retail kit. Its price should be around $120 tops.
If Lego does not buy the idea of offering some kind of upgrade/downgrade path, someone else will. Proof to that: we have already Bill Shaw's solution available.

I would love to purchase an add on kit so that I could build NXT2.0 projects. Color doesn't matter to me. I like iMarc's idea of a retail version of the Education Resource set with goodies in it to attract both markets ... NXt1.0 and NXT2.0.
- Nov 18, 2009, 4:40:00 AM
- GrizzledGeezer said...
The most-logical thing for LEGO to do would be to supply a package of "lots and lots" of Technic parts of all kinds, making sure there were at least enough of the particular pieces needed to go from nxt 1.0 to 2.0. "Everyone" would want to buy such a package, if it were reasonably priced. And it could remain an SKU.
The specialized components -- such as the color sensor -- could be purchased as each user saw fit.

Union welcomes Glaxo's Ulverston plant
Last updated at 16:23, Thursday, 22 March 2012
Unite, the UK's largest union, has welcomed the news from pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKline today that it will invest £500m at its various manufacturing sites across the UK, creating 1,000 new jobs.
- Related article: Prime Minister David Cameron visits Ulverston
- Related article: 100s of jobs on the way at £350m Ulverston site
The company has announced Ulverston, Cumbria as the chosen location for its first new manufacturing facility to be built in the UK in almost 40 years.
GSK has confirmed it will investment £100m at the company's manufacturing sites in Montrose and Irvine in Scotland.
A further £80m will be invested at its sites in Ware, Hertfordshire and Barnard Castle in County Durham.
In total, it is anticipated this investment will create up to 1,000 new jobs over the lifetime of the projects.
However, the union is calling on the government to produce a strategic manufacturing strategy that supports the UK's manufacturing.
Unite national officer, Linda McCulloch, said: "This is welcome news and a big thumbs up for the UK manufacturing, pharmaceutical and construction sectors.
"This investment is fantastic for the North West, where the new facility will be built. It will create much needed employment opportunities in the area and will safeguard hundreds of skilled jobs.
"However, the pharmaceutical industry has seen a lot of uncertainty with over 10,000 jobs lost in the past five years.
"This investment is testament to the skills of UK workers. These dedicated workers thoroughly deserve this investment and the long term security of employment this brings.
"But, more needs to be done. We need to invest in the UK's manufacturing skills base for the future. Once again, we call on the government to invest in the UK's manufacturing skills base with a long-term solution."

Have your say
Best the Luddites keep away. Massive investment like this doesn't come easy, and shouldn't be opposed. Hopefully the planners will bend over backwards to help this projects, and some of the idiots from KUS keep well out of it. I think if any of these pressure groups start jumping up and down, they will rapidly see any support they had disappear overnight.
Well done Glaxo! Excellent news for the area!
This is great news for Ulverston and the surrounding area, and congratulations to all those involved in helping to create the deal, but they still have to get the necessary planning permissions and this might be difficult with influential pressure groups like KUS and other Luddites opposed to any new developments in the town.

Portrait of Thadée Natanson
This painting portrays Thadée Natanson, Vuillard's first and most important patron and the publisher of La Revue Blanche, the most noted avant-garde French periodical in the 1890s. The work typifies the artist's oeuvre of this period in its concentration on a single meditative figure in the familiar setting of the home interior. Though Vuillard produces a clearly recognizable portrait, he focuses primarily on the mood and personality of the sitter. With eyes downcast, Natanson projects the inner contemplation at the heart of French Symbolism.

A well-established business model is important for any startup, but it becomes even more vital for startups developing platform technology. IRISense CEO Brent Cousino said his company had multiple value propositions for his innovation that have provided different expansion paths of success.
See who made this week's list
At a Life Science Ventures Summit hosted by the Kauffman Foundation, Huffington Post writer Jennifer Hill led a discussion focused on the players in entrepreneurship. The presentation opened with experienced entrepreneurs giving their thoughts on the idea of team building. (00:00-01:19)
Ronald Lindsay, CEO of Zebra Biologics Inc., thinks changes in the biotech industry will lead to a trend of success for biotech companies. His company's technology can be used as a platform to discover and develop bio-superior antibody therapeutics and complex drug targets. Zebra has just pulled in $9 million in its first investing round, and Lindsay thinks one of the biggest changes for the future of biotech is the availability of venture funding.
A Life Science Ventures Summit hosted by the Kauffman Foundation provided advice on funding strategies for diagnostic startups (0:30:25-0:35:38). Diana Kander of Kander Rigby led a panel with Una Ryan, Tito Serafini, Risa Stack, Zen Chu and Jill Carroll.
At the core of any startup company is the idea. The idea is the true value of a company, according to LIM Innovations CEO and co-founder Andrew Pedtke, and he says protecting that idea should be a main priority.
Paul Yock of Stanford's Biodesign and Jay Watkins of De Novo Ventures led a discussion with Marie Johnson, Darin Buxbaum, Brian Fahey and Peggy McLaughlin on the topic of clinical and regulatory strategy at a recent Life Science Ventures Summit hosted by the Kauffman Foundation (0:25:21-0:33:52).

PANAMA CITY BEACH — Here are some signs you have entered the Canadian Zone: Everyone is dressed in red, "aboot" can be heard often, and there are dozens of flags with red maple leafs on a stage being guarded by a cardboard cut-out of a Canadian Mountie officer.
He was saluting the audience.
About 640 Snowbirds celebrated the 10th annual Canada Day at the Wyndham Bay Point Resort ballroom on a chilly Sunday evening.

Elliot added, "It's a party."

Before the ceremony, Panama City Mayor Gayle Oberst addressed the sea of red attire.
"I wanted to tell you how much we appreciate you being (here)," said Mayor Gayle Oberst. "We are proclaiming to honor you, our Canadian guests, that Sunday Feb. 17 is Canada Day in
Oberst then read a proclamation declaring the day as such.
"Officials and citizens are keenly aware and appreciative of the beneficial impact our winter residents have on our economic and social posture," Oberst said. "The city is honored to again extend our very special brand of southern hospitality and look forward to your return each year."
The evening proceeded with music, singing, dining, dancing, drawings, prizes and just generally celebrating being Canadian, concluding at about 10 p.m.
January and February are the big months for Canadian tourism, according to Elliot. The snowbirds begin to migrate back north as March comes in like a lion with spring breakers taking over the partying where the snowbirds leave it.

FORT WALTON BEACH — The latest 2013-14 budget figures show Okaloosa County faces spending requests at least $5.6 million over projected revenues.
County commissioners discussed the looming revenue challenges at their meeting Tuesday.
The largest chunk of that $5.6 million is $1.7 million requested by Sheriff Larry Ashley to fill the vacancies created when he placed deputies in every public school in the district. Other items on the list include $1.2 million for county vehicle and equipment replacement, $1.4 million for a 3 percent salary increase for county employees, $675,000 in capital construction costs and $678,000 in contributions to the Florida Retirement System.
"If we don't come up with some type of revenue source, I see the only option we have is to significantly cut the services we're providing to the county," Commissioner Dave Parisot told the board at its meeting in Fort Walton Beach.
Commission Chairman Don Amunds suggested moving some of those budget requests — particularly the Sheriff's Office's money — off the table. He said it was Ashley's decision to place school resource officers in every school, and the commission isn't obligated to replace that money in the sheriff's budget.
"At the end of the day, we tell the constitutional officers, 'This is your budget.' Where they cut, how they cut is up to them," Amunds said. "If they believe it's more important to have officers over here versus over here, that's their responsibility. … That's not our role as county commissioners."
Commissioner Wayne Harris suggested the county explore funding the Sheriff's Office through a Municipal Service Taxing Unit, or MSTU.
The MSTU would allow Ashley "to set his millage rate and fund his operation without having to come back to us and argue with us every year," Harris said.
Using such a funding method would allow Ashley to know exactly what his revenue would be each year, he said.
"It's being used in other counties effectively. …. We need to look into it," Harris added.
He said an MSTU "puts the onus, if you will, on the sheriff and not on the county commissioners" to determine funding.
But County Attorney John Dowd said the board still would be considered the governing body overseeing the MSTU. Parisot agreed and said that structure is no different from the board overseeing the levy of ad valorem taxes.
Harris argued that an MSTU for specific Sheriff's Office funding should be explored thoroughly by Dowd, Ashley and County Administrator Ernie Padgett.
"Don't dismiss it categorically," he said. "That's all I'm asking."
Parisot continued his call to assess franchise fees as a viable way to generate more money. Under that plan, the county would charge the major local utility companies — Gulf Power, Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative and Okaloosa Gas a fee to use public rights of way.
"We do have a lot of flexibility with franchise fees," Parisot said. "We can dedicate part of the franchise fee (revenue) to roads. We can dedicate part of the franchise fees to stormwater. … We can spend it on the general fund."
Those are options the commissioners wouldn't have if they raised the gas tax instead, he added.
"The gas tax was only going to address one thing, and that's roads," Parisot said.
All the local utilities have voiced opposition to a franchise fee.
Commissioner Nathan Boyles, whose proposal to increase the gas tax by 3 cents was recently rejected by Parisot and Amunds, voiced frustration with Parisot's idea.
He questioned whether Parisot has "the political capital to undertake" franchise fees and lamented the board's inability to find a "blended" solution.
Boyles predicted that the board might be left with "nothing" in the way of solutions at the end of its discussions.
"We sit today with what may be two proposals that are unworkable, and that is unfortunate," he said.

Posted 02 August 2012 - 01:10
I've always been a DD-WRT user and still want to be but the support for my E4200 and newer features (Broadcom in general) seems to be lacking lately. I still checked even now after seeing this thread to see what's been going on and still slow/nothing. I slapped Tomato USB Toastman build on there recently and that thing is flying with more features working than what was offered with DD-WRT. I definitely get faster WLAN to LAN speeds as i've copied files and done tests and it's a big difference, I'd see 12MB/s LAN to WLAN but now that's 30MB/s! WLAN to LAN was always in the 25MB/s range but now that's also 30MB/s
IPv6 stuff for those that care or have it (mainly Comcast in the USA) will know that it works too and works great i'm told. DD-WRT doesn't have IPv6 support really, definitely not DHCPv6-PD!

As the title says, I have enjoyed the Nexus angle a lot, and like that new stars are being pushed however I do think that because the WWE hasn't come up with anything original or indeed slightly exciting in years the Nexus have been seen as the saviours but again WWE is becoming sloppy and boring with the story writing.
It kind of seems as though some ones gone, hmmmm CM Punk has
just my idea on how this fued should go:
To be honest I'm glad that Kane is getting the camera time and championship title that he deserves, I was a huge Kane fan back in the attitude days and the way they have destroyed his character makes me feel sick. I'm not saying that is all WWE's fault, Kane himself has clearly let himself go and isn't as quick and powerful as he was 10 years

Is there a way that I can configure WinRM to not care what is in my TrustedHosts without it being a security risk? I have a lot of VMs, and I don't want to add each one into TrustedHosts.
When I try to use HTTPS instead, it tells me that I need a certificate with the CN as my own hostname installed. Is there a way to force it to use HTTP?

Former UFC Welterweight Georges St-Pierre Tears Left ACL in Training
Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre decided to take some time off after he successfully defended his welterweight title in a close fight with Johny Hendricks at UFC 167.Many fans and UFC president Dana White believe that he will return to MMA, but that won't be any time soon after another major injury suffered by GSP. From his twitter:
Tore my left ACL in training. Surgery in a few days. Rehab, pain, hard work, no shortcuts- I'll soon be back at 100%. Thanks for the support— Georges St-Pierre (@GeorgesStPierre) March 27, 2014
St-Pierre (25-2) tore his right ACL while training for a UFC 143 bout with Nick Diaz in 2011 and was out for almost 18 months because of that. This is the other ACL, and it's a pretty devastating injury. The 32-year-old obviously wasn't training for a fight but if it's another year-plus on the shelf for him, the chances of the future Hall of Famer returning to the sport just went down decidedly today.I don't know what to say. Feels like the MMA Gods are serving up an evil streak right now.Georges St-Pierre Announces ACL Tear, but Quiet on UFC Return
Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre may no longer be gracing the Octagon with his presence, but stepping into the training room has still come with a cost, as he announced on Thursday that he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.
While St-Pierre vacated the UFC championship in December of last year, he hasn't left his teammates in a lurch. St-Pierre has been known to continue training and working alongside his Tristar Gym teammates in Montreal, even though he has yet to talk definitely about a return to the Octagon.
"Just got confirmation that I tore my left knee ACL during training this week… Surgery in a few days and rehab starts right away," St-Pierre wrote on his Facebook page.
The former UFC 170-pound kingpin spent the better part of 2011 and 2012 on the shelf due to a torn ACL in his right knee. He returned in November of 2012 to unify the welterweight championship with a victory over interim titleholder Carlos Condit. St-Pierre then defeated Nick Diaz and Johny Hendricks before surprisingly vacating the belt in December.
"We all face challenges in our lives and I know only one way to take this one: Pain, hard work, no shortcuts and I will soon be back at 100%," he continued on Thursday. "Stay tuned and thanks for your amazing support, as always. Merci à tous pour vos encouragements."
While recent speculation had pointed to a possible return in early 2015, St-Pierre has yet to comment definitively on when or if he will return to the UFC.

Weekend underwear run to support colon cancer fight
It may be getting chilly outside, but that won't stop an expected 1,500 people from running in their underwear on Saturday to stop colon cancer.
Terry Baack with the race said this year's event is raising funds for both research and to help those who can't afford screenings.
"(Colon Cancer Alliance) also do a lot of outreach and education, because colon cancer is a little bit of an uncomfortable subject," she said. "That's why we kind of do this lighthearted event where we get out in our undies and get people talking about it."
Baack said 50 percent of the funds raised will remain in Arizona.
Online registration is closed but there is still time to sign up on-site at the State Capitol after 7 a.m. Saturday. The 5K run begins at 9 a.m.
Free boxer shorts will be made available.

Fira de Tàrrega
16th August 2012
This September you can enjoy The Tàrrega Fair, full of scenic arts and known as a referent of the fairs and festivals organised in the Spanish State. The longstanding desire to become international, and continued commitment to quality, has made the fair a reference point in Europe. Do you need more reasons to come and visit it? Don't think twice, Be Hostels recommends it!
It emerged tied to traditional and popular festivals, but has always had the wish to renew the world of scenic arts. This popular origin has been kept in the desire to breach the gap between these artistic manifestations and the people, that is, it has wanted to turn the people into participants. As well as its consolidation as a theatrical market, the fair allows us to observe current scenic tendencies, because it encourages the show of contemporary aesthetics which fit in Tàrrega. .
In the fair, we find mainly unconventional theatrical manifestations, although one of its peculiarities is also the variety of performances which can be seen year after year. The FiraTàrrega programme is a catalogue of unique theatrical experiences, with a firm commitment for excellence and a wealth of formats and styles, and where the street arts and non-conventional venues are the main reference point.
The Official Programme is a selection compiled from proposals aimed at seducing the audience and stimulating the professionals who attend; an eclectic and very selective offer that combines different stage disciplines and pays special attention to presenting up-and-coming talents and the national and international creative avant-gardes. You can find the catalogue HERE!
If you like theatre and you're thinking to come to Barcelona, this is your opportunity! Don't miss it! Sleep with us!

- New Red Block Shiraz
- Vintage: 2011
- A wonderfully soft and seductive Australian Shiraz that is medium bodied and packed full of juicy blackcurrant fruit.

This juicy, tangy red is a model of restraint - it shows off the very best, boisterous characters of Shiraz (a good seven days maceration on skins makes sure of this), but tempers all those wild leather and spice characters with a small number of Petit Verdot grapes to give pepperiness and pizazz.

Coldblack® finish allows the heat to be reflected unlike common dark textiles, which absorb heat, allowing the wearer to avoid overheating even during physical activity.
The Elite Lazer Bibs are designed for super muscle support and unparalleled comfort. A compressive fit is achieved by both fit and coldblack® Lycra® Power, a high performance compressive material. Compression over the rider's legs is proven to enhance muscle support, increase blood flow, and reduce muscle soreness. Treated with coldblack®, the fabric reflects heat and the fabric stays cool to the touch. Power Mesh bib straps offer a comfortable, stretchable, chafe-free mesh. The bib straps connect at the torso for an easy and fast removable bib at pit stops. The 5Motion chamois features combines 3D preshaped wings with a deep split at the back that is bridged by vented mesh; this not only offers exceptional ventilation, but allows the pad to move with you without bunching.
The coveted essential elements of any cyclist whose passion fringes lunacy. A cohesive blend of second skin fit, new era styling, versatile materials, and focused technology. Apparel whose conceptual advances and fabric performance through researched biological considerations. Define yourself by stepping into the psyche of a pro.

|The most helpful critical review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
By Airgun Papa from USA on 2012-01-30 10:24:19Things I liked:This product has a secure lid! It isn't a screw on but it has detents all around the circumference of the lid and it takes a deliberate effort to get it off. The pellets are well formed, free of defects and reasonably clean.
Things I would have changed:There is nothing I can think of to improve on this product. The price is very good compared to other offerings, the accuracy better than more expensive pellets tested alongside these, and the downrange performance was the best. Maybe a pellet weighing about 15.5 to16.0 grains for higher energy transfer would be nice.
What others should know:I test pellets extensively firing thousands of rounds each year, recording the results and collecting them in a database on my computer. One of the things I do is to Chronograph the muzzle velocity and the 20 yard velocity and then calculate a performance factor which can be used to determine how well the pellets maintains its velocity downrange. These pellets are the new champions of velocity retention! I have records of 44 pellets thus far and none equal the velocity retention of these. Their accuracy was also first or second among 7 pellet products tested in both my Sheridan Blue Streak rifle and E-20 series Sheridan CO2 pistol. The initial velocities were slightly lower than anticipated from both guns but they made up for that very quickly in the first ten yards of travel. Interestingly, the former 1ST place velocity retention champ had the same characteristic and was also made in the Czech Republic.

By William from USA on 2014-02-04 08:29:36Things I liked:Uniform shape like all other JSB pellets I've purchased ( thousands). Work very well in my Sheridan Blue Streaks.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Kinda pricey, but I suppose they are worth it.

Restaurateur Lee Morcus is well-versed in the food business. Since 1992, Morcus and his father Kaiser have opened several successful Kaiser Restaurants in the Coachella Valley and beyond. Immersed at an early age in the restaurant and hotel businesses owned by his father, the heart and soul of Morcus' passion for food comes from his Lebanese roots and an idyllic childhood in rural southern Colorado.
Morcus' grandfather owned the only grocery store in Del Norte — a small, former mining town supply center which blossomed into a hub for agriculture and ranching. His grandfather also farmed hay and alfalfa and raised cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs, and every meal started with homemade Lebanese yogurt (laban), labneh (a soft cheese made from laban), feta cheese, olives, hummus and fresh Syrian bread.
Blending Morcus' and de Mélogue's culinary passions and high standards for organic, fresh ingredients, Figue stands out as a unique, engaging dining experience. Sophisticated and casual, the restaurant's design lends itself to intimate enclaves and open, large-party slab wood tables with high ceilings and contrasting light fixtures.
And then there's the food. In the spirit of the Mediterranean, everything on the menu may be shared. Beginning with cured meats like the legendary Jamon Iberico de Bellota or Creminelli wild boar salumi, and small plates such as kibbe (Lebanese lamb and bulgur wheat meatballs) with cucumber salad and hummus, or baked figs and prosciutto accompanied by house-made labne, kataifi (shredded, crunchy phyllo dough), pistachios and lavender honey, guests have the opportunity to try new and familiar dishes. And just for the record, de Mélogue is now curing Kuri Kuri pigs from Cook Pigs Ranch in Julian to make his own charcuterie.
Whenever possible, de Mélogue uses locally grown produce, sourcing ingredients as close to home as possible — the menu changes seasonally. "I think we're finding our core clientele are well traveled, and they know and enjoy food and are adventurous," says de Mélogue. "Health-wise, people care about what they're eating, just as we care about the quality of every ingredient we use."
Side dishes include creamy polenta with Gruyere, San Marzano tomato sauce and fried basil; Moroccan carrots glazed with orange butter and toasted cumin; and ratatouille. Desserts include Barcelona Liegeois — iced espresso, chocolate sorbet, Marcona almonds and salted caramel; pistachio olive oil and fig cake with pomegranate sorbet; Marcona chocolate bombe — Valrhona chocolate mousse, toasted almonds and chocolate sauce; and compote of organic cherries with lemon verbena ice cream and lemon puffs.
"It sounds corny, but it's food without compromise. We're committed to buying the freshest, organic, best of everything we can," says Morcus. "It's all about the guest experience and at the core of the guest experience is the food."
Figue offers occasional cooking classes with Executive Chef de Mélogue which generally include a three-course meal.Hours: Sunday through Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 5 to 11 p.m.
The Figue Bar: Sunday through Wednesday, 5 to 10 p.m.; Thursday through Saturday, 4 p.m.to 12 a.m. Brunch is available on all major weekend holidays.

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

There's a special something about the first Corvette that made a lasting impression on you. Maybe it was the combination of color scheme and styled body lines. Maybe it was an exhaust note that turned your head and had you saying Wow for the next month.
in the case of Kim Ian Madsen, owner of this '60 big-brake fuelie, it's the car his father wrenched on while it was ruling the road courses and hill climbs of the East Coast during the '60s.
Kim's father, Doug Madsen, was a mechanic at Konners Chevrolet in Caldwell, New Jersey, and it was there that salesman Bob Wasserman ordered the car you see here. "He ordered this car as a demo for himself, then he sold it to Steve Elfenbein, who actually wanted a red one," says Kim. Steve, who was an engineer at Bell Labs, was looking for a car to go racing with on weekends. When he saw this one in early 1961, he decided not to wait the six to eight weeks (or more) for a specially ordered red one. Kim says, "He settled for Horizon Blue because he wanted to get racing.
Under the factory colors, this '60 had the RPO 687 big-brake and RPO 579D 290hp, fuel-injected 283, as well as a Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed and a 4.11-geared, Posi-traction-equipped rearend, a radio, and heater (the latter two not typically ordered on big-brake cars). But unlike the later-production '60 big-brake cars, this very-early-production '60 also received the '59 Vette's competition suspension package, with shorter front coil springs and five-leaf bundles on each side in back.
Steve got it ready-with the help of Kim's dad, who was the only mechanic that worked on the car-for the road courses and hill climbs that made up the East Coast sports-car racing scene back then. From the first race, Steve ran up front and finished up front. In 128 races and hill climbs, the car won 73 times, placed second in 21 events, came home third 18 times, and only four times did it fail to finish!
In 1966, it was the first production car to break the one-minute barrier on the Giant's Despair hill climb in Pennsylvania, and it was a perennial SCCA Regional champion during its racing days against some very notable competition. "Elfenbein wasn't a Yenko or a Donahue, but he raced against them and won," says Kim. "And my father was right in the thick of it." He also raced-and won-while competing with drivers such as Ed Lowther, John Morton, Tony Fucchi, Al Loquasto, Harold Keck, Oscar Koveleski, and many more.
Still fairly early in its racing career, one major change was made to the '60. The original fuel-injected 283 was replaced by another small-block wearing Rochester fuel injection. This one-a '62-vintage 327-put out more than the 360 hp that Chevrolet rated it at. One reason is the fuel-injection system itself, which got some help from a noted Chevy tuner and racer. "That 327 has a Bill Thomas-modified plenum [on top of the fuel-injection system]. The power-to-weight ratio was pretty phenomenal," says Kim.
