difference betwen supersonic and shockwave
Posted 29 September 2007 - 01:59 PM
i wonder wath the big difference betwen supersonic and shockwave
do you pull more then fx. sle or b-serie, ore do use 90 pund lines on them too...
it's a friend of mine how wants some more speed, he flyes a exp
Posted 29 September 2007 - 03:33 PM
Posted 29 September 2007 - 03:34 PM
I believe the speed series kites have more pull. The supersonic comes in std. and vtd. it is less extreem than the shockwave which comes only in std.(someone correct me if I'm wrong on any of this) If your friend is a beginner looking for more speed, I recommend a rev II. It is not as fast as the speed series revs, but is easier to control.
okay thanks....

The best thing is to try B4 you buy. I quite fancy a Blast but want to try one first.
Posted 30 September 2007 - 05:38 AM
And, as I type this, Metcheck is saying it's 3-4mph a few miles from me and the sun's just come out, so I think I'll away!
Posted 30 September 2007 - 08:30 AM
Posted 30 September 2007 - 09:47 AM
Let me know how you get on with it Fraser. I am thinking of a Sedgewick and a Blast as my next order.
Just back.
It was TOTAL shite. Not a breath of wind! Arghhh! Got all set up though - ever the optimist - and was then tantalised by being able to get the b*st*rd soaring up like a bird by pulling on the lines and stepping back a bit, but then having to watch it float serenly to the ground whatever I did. Grrrrr!
Report will have to come later.

I like the Sonic a little better than the Shockwave because I do have a Blast/Power2-4/and Power 4-8 which supplies me with all the pull I ever need. The Sonic can fly in the light winds (sub 8 mph) but you do have to do a lot of walking, a lot of floating, and a ton of patience. To me the light wind is not what I would call fun flying. I would rather put up my 1.5 or a stack in the lighter winds. Now when the winds get between 8 and 15 mph the Sonic is a total blast that will keep you on your toes every second. Think of it as a tethered hornet on steroids and red bull!
Very fast and very exciting. Can't really take your eyes off of it for a second and you have to plan well in front of the kite for your turns and stops. It is a very fun kite to fly and one that I don't think I will ever be without. My Sonic and Vented Sonic have a permanent place in my Rev Bag.
The Shockwave doesn't feel to be quite as fast as the Sonic but don't take this wrong, it is still awesomely faster than any other Rev. The pull can be fun and a lot of people who fly the Shockwave regularly really love it. It does have a little larger sail than the Sonic so lighter wind flying is a little easier but this kite is still best in the stronger winds where it will boggle your mind. The Vented Sonic is still blisteringly fast but with nearly zero pull at all. They do not make a Vented Shockwave to my knowledge.
If you are looking for speed and hair raising thrill, the Sonic and Shockwave are awesome. I think they are best in a smaller wind range than the other Rev models. If you get them out in the right winds you will surely be hooked on them. They put a smile on my face just talking about the way they fly.
Posted 01 October 2007 - 03:43 PM
I have the Blast, Shockwave, Supersonic and Sonic Vented. That's the order that they pull. The Blast pulls the hardest and the Sonic Vented the least -- in my experience.
I live in an area where the winds are light. I bought the Blast for its light wind performance, and actually you can fly it in the least wind of the four. I was able to try out both the Supersonic and Shockwave before I bought, and with light winds (the low end of the range), the Supersonic seemed to oversteer more than the Shockwave. So I bought the Shockwave. I later found out that the low wind range of the Shockwave really wasn't much more (less?) than the Supersonic, and the Supersonic was way more fun. And the oversteer was just my inability to control the Supersonic precisely.
I bought the Sonic Vented while at the beach and the winds were up. I've flown it in 30+ mph, and fun doesn't describe it! A Wind of Change is right for it -- you can't take your eyes off it. But when you want speed, these do the trick!
Hope this helps.

I have the Blast, Shockwave, Supersonic and Sonic Vented. That's the order that they pull. The Blast pulls the hardest and the Sonic Vented the least -- in my experience.
I have an EXP and I'm that close to buying a blast it's not funny and i was wondering if you could give me a direct comparison in pull from a blast to an exp (in high winds)
are we talking chalk and cheese are 2-3 times harder?? I'm 6'1' and weigh about 90kg will it be pulling my backside into the next suburb or just making me lean into it??
Posted 30 October 2007 - 06:15 PM
both the shockwave and the supersonic pull more, but not near as much as the Blast. The Shockwave is simply faster than the supersonic.
Actually the Shockwave and Supersonic are pretty much the same speed with the sonic actually being faster due to its less pull,
Funny thing is the Shockwave is slightly Bigger like 2" yet its is 10 times more difficult to fly, why I still cant figure it out.
The shockwave is very very sensitive to side to side handle movements and will slide out faster then slick shoes on fresh ice.
It says its for the most experienced of pilots for a reason, now why it reacts so different than a supersonic is beyond me there really isn't much of a difference aside from the 1" of extra sail around all edges.
For the best fun the Vented Supersonic is by far the most enjoyable of the ( shock-sonic ) series with practice it will fly in almost as light as the standard and aside from the much less pull it brings you into actual precision in the speed series.
I wish the Blast came in a Vented Version I can easily see that as becoming my favorite Rev of all.

Look at the venting layout of the Supersonic and use it as a basic idea for the Shockwave venting.
Seems to me they had replaced two of the mylar panels with venting or ?

Acquisitions, mergers, awards, charity, certifications, company news and more.
Promotions, new hires, retirements and more.
Do you practice effective empathy in your store? Maybe you should, according to an Expo West educational session given by Alyssa D'Arienzo Toro, senior partner and chief marketing officer, and Scott Madden, senior partner and director of strategic planning at Connelly Partners.
News from industry food companies.
On March 31st, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued 14 warning letters to manufacturers that illegally included methylsynephrine, also known as oxilofrine, in illegal sports supplements. Soon after, Pieter Cohen, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and NSF International, published a study conducted in partnership with Harvard University and University of Mississippi in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis. The group found oxilofrine—a stimulant not approved for use in supplements—either disguised as another substance or not listed at all on dietary supplement bottle labels. This ingredient is said to pose a safety risk to consumers.
Washington, D.C.— In a unanimously authorization by its board, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) announced today its creation of an industry-wide dietary supplement product registry, which will be launched by the end of the year.
Washington, D.C.—The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that certified organic operations have seen significant growth. According to data released by the Agricultural Marketing Service's (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP), the amount of domestic organic operations have increased by nearly 12% between 2014 and 2015, the highest growth rate since 2008 and a nearly 300% increase since 2002, when the count began. Monetarily, the total retail market for organic products is valued at $39 billion domestically and $75 million worldwide.
Lake Success, NY—Hain Celestial has reported it will be removing the claims that certain Earth's Best personal care products contain "no harsh chemicals" and "no sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate," according to The Wall Street Journal.

Is this even possible or have i got confused about how i managed to allow the media box access?

Is Charlie Hebdo's Latest Editorial Racist?

Calling violent extremism the tip of the iceberg and pointing out the culpability of the Muslim community at large is not bigotry, it's simply laying the ground for reforms. [Read more…]

Oklahoma City Thunder: Will stiff penalty deter Artest?
Two years ago during the Thunder-Laker playoff series, I got to chat with Ron Artest (this was before the name change). Just the two of us. I wrote about Artest's efforts to change his bad-boy image. You can read that column here.
Artest, now Metta World Peace, laid those efforts in ruin Sunday in Los Angeles, where his vicious elbow, not in the flow of play, sent the Thunder's James Harden to the floor with a concussion. Harden's status remains unknown, and really, so does Metta World Chaos'.
A player with a rap sheet like Chaos' will draw a hefty penalty from NBA commissioner David Stern. Some say five games, some say 10, some say more. But Stern has a problem. Whatever penalty he selects, he knows it's fully punitive. Knows the penalty's full effects will be the harm it does to the Lakers and to Chaos personally. None of the penalty will be rehabilitative.
Chaos has shown himself to be unchangeable. His repeated outbursts, notably the brawl in Auburn Hills, Mich., that gave the NBA perhaps its worst black eye ever, have reached the point where we now know for certain that Chaos will erupt. Kobe Bryant can call him "sweet." I can spend five minutes with him and declare that the league's bad boy has mellowed in his old age. But now we know that the Artest formerly known as Ron will explode. The only variable is time.
Which is why Stern faces a dilemma. Punishment won't serve as a deterrent. Artest once was suspended for 73 games, yet his ways haven't changed. Just as imprisonment hasn't scared off some criminals from committing crimes, suspensions have no effect on Chaos.
How should I say this? Metta World Chaos is a kook. Not a kook in the way your brother-in-law is a kook. A kook in the clinical sense. There's a wiring issue. Chaos is a stranger in a stranger land. He doesn't fit, even in the surreal culture of the NBA. How is Stern to discipline someone who really doesn't respond to discipline? The only answer is banishment. And Stern doesn't want to banish Chaos. I don't want Stern to banish Chaos. Heck, James Harden doesn't Stern to banish Chaos. The NBA is a more interesting place with Chaos.
Of course, a stiff suspension could be a deterrent to other NBA players. Just because Chaos doesn't get it doesn't mean right-thinking players wouldn't give pause. The NBA is dealing with a couple of hot-button issues — the concussion frenzy that envelopes all sports, plus the flagrant fouls, which seem to be accelerating.
So Stern could use the mugging of Harden to spread the word that he is intent on keeping the NBA's streets safe. Just as long as he knows the penalty will have little bearing on Metta World Chaos himself.

This application is a Continuation-in Part of Ser. No. 10/384,131, filed Mar. 7, 2003, which is now issused as U.S. Pat. No. 7,056,237.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to devices used for basketball practice shooting and, more particularly, to an apparatus and method for practicing boxing during a rebound of a basketball.
2. Description of Prior Art
In the past, a number of devices have been used to facilitate basketball practice shooting and rebounding. Such devices include a surface supportable apparatus that returns consecutive shots to a basketball player or players standing at various locations and distances from the basketball board and hoop. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,697,810; 4,786,371; 4,838,549; 5,540,428; 5,676,120; 4,667,957 and 6,224,503 are examples of such devices.
Other prior art training aids include the McCall's rebounder which supports a basketball above the ground or playing surface, so that a player can practice "pulling" the rebound down. The McCall's device is available from Sorensen Christian Industries, Inc., Highway 210 West, Angier, N.C. 27501.
Further, various portable basketball units have been provided for recreation and home use and these include the Model Nos. BA833 and BA832 Club Court adjustable basketball system available from Bison, Inc. of St. Lincoln, Nebr. at www.bisoninc.com; models Pro-Fold and Quick-Pro available from Probound Sports of Dorrance, Kans. and the portable system available from Schutt Sports of Wichita Falls, Kans.
Although each of the devices taught in the aforementioned patents and products are characterized by specific features generally beneficial to a basketball player who desires to improve his skills, there remains a need for a more efficient portable and collapsible basketball rebounding apparatus that permits a player to practice "boxing out" an opponent player during a rebound.
It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide an apparatus and method for enabling a player to practice "boxing out" during a rebound training or practice exercise.
In one aspect, this invention comprises a base, at least one support coupled to the base, and a resistance assembly coupled to the at least one support; the resistance assembly comprising a first resistance member that provides a predetermined amount of resistance to a player when the player engages the at least one resistance member.
In another aspect, this invention comprises a base, a support member coupled to the base and a resistance assembly mounted on the support for resisting a rebounding movement by a human participant.
In another aspect, the invention comprises a base, a support extending upward away from the base and comprising a backboard and rim situated above the ground or a playing surface in proximity to a box-out area, and a box-out apparatus associated with the box-out area, the box-out area permitting a player to simulate boxing out a second player by providing at least one resistance member or adjustable pad that yields to the player when the player applies a predetermined amount of pressure or torque to the at least one resistance member or pad.
In another aspect, the invention comprises a method for improving rebounding skills, comprising the steps of: providing a base comprising a support extending upward away from the base and comprising a backboard and rim situated above the ground or a playing surface in proximity to a box-out area; and providing a box-out apparatus associated with the box-out area; enabling a player to simulate boxing out a second player by providing at least one resistance member that yields to the player when the player applies a predetermined amount of pressure to the at least one resistance member.
In still another aspect, the invention comprises a rebound apparatus comprising: a base having a support; a toggle member secured to the support; a plurality of pads secured to the toggle member in operative relationship with a box-out area in proximate relationship with a rim of a basketball backboard; the toggle member permitting a player to engage one of the plurality of pads and to move it away from the box-out area when the player applies a predetermined amount of force or torque to the one of the plurality of pads and simultaneously permitting the one of the plurality of pads to move toward the box-out area.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus and method for simulating the reaction of an opponent to a rebounding effort by a basketball player.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a swivel assembly which is simple and easy to maintain.
Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for use by a basketball player to simulate boxing-out of an opposing player during a basketball training session. The apparatus is comprised of a first swivel plate having a first pad for engagement by a player, a second swivel plate positioned spaced apart from the first swivel plate by at least one support having at least one adjustable connection with the first and second swivel plates and at least one brake shoe bearing against at least one of the first or second swivel plates, a clamp for causing frictional resistance against swiveling rotation of the first and second swivel plates, and a resistance assembly adjustably coupled to at least one support. The resistance assembly comprises a resistance member that provides a predetermined amount of resistance to the player when the player engages the resistance member. The resistance member moves in a substantially non-vertical direction when the player engages the resistance member with a force that exceeds the predetermined amount of resistance and the clamp causes at least one brake shoe to bear against at least one of the first or second swivel plates to provide the predetermined amount of resistance.
Still another object of the invention provides an apparatus for simulating a basketball player. The apparatus is comprised of a first surface and a second surface in face-to-face frictional contact with the first surface. The second surface is moveable relative to the first surface in a direction generally parallel to the first surface. When a player engages a resistance member, at least one of the first surface or the second surface is coupled to at least one resistance member having a first pad for engagement by a player in order to provide a predetermined amount of resistance to the player when the player engages the resistance member. The resistance member moves in a substantially non-vertical direction when the player engages the resistance member with a force that exceeds the predetermined amount of resistance and the first and second surfaces cooperate to provide the predetermined amount of resistance.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings and the appended claims.

In the embodiment being described, the backboard 16 is mounted onto the rebounding device 22 with a plurality of support posts 52. For storage convenience, the backboard 16, hoop 18 and rebounding device 22 may be mounted on a pivotal support that permits the backboard 16 to be locked into the position shown in
It should be understood that the aforementioned backboard 16, hoop 18 and rebounding device 22 are mounted on support 60 and the support 60 is mounted on an elongated tubular member 62 that telescopes from a support tubular member 64. The tubular member 62 telescopes in and out of the support tubular member 64 in a conventional manner so that the basketball hoop 18, backboard 16 and rebounding device 22 may be moved up and down in the direction of double arrow D (
The system 10 further comprises a support post 72 having a first end 72 a secured to the base 12 and a second end 72 b secured to the tubular support member 64. The box-out assembly or rebound resistance system 70 is secured to support post 72. The box-out assembly 70 has a first adjustable wing, arm or tubular member 80 supporting a first pad 74 and a second adjustable wing, arm or tubular member 82 that supports a second pad 78 and a swivel assembly 84. A third pad 76 may be situated on support post 72.
The adjustable wings or arms 80 and 82 each comprise a plurality of telescoping members, described below, that are mounted on a cam or pivot assembly 84 that is secured to support post 72. A pivot assembly 84 adjustably couples the arms or wings 80 and 82 together and also permits the wings or arms 80 and 82 to toggle or pivot in the direction of arrows F and G (
Referring back to
The wing or arm 80 comprises a first pad adjustment assembly 71 and the second wing or arm 82 comprises a second pad adjustment assembly 73. The arms 80 and 82 comprise ends 80 a and 82 a, respectively, that are secured to cam or pivoting assembly 84. For ease of description and illustration, the arm 80 and the first pad adjustment assembly 71 will be described in detail, and it should be understood that the arm 82 and the second pad adjustment assembly 73 comprise like parts that operate and function in the same manner.
Referring to
The cam plates 90 and 92 are pivotally mounted on a support bracket 102 having a support extension 104 that is mounted to a planar member 106. The planar member 106 is mounted directly to the primary support post 72 (
The cam or pivoting assembly 84 further comprises a U-shaped spring support 120 having a first leg member 120 a, a second leg member 120 b and a joining member 120 c, as best illustrated in
The support 104 further comprises a first spring support post 134 (
Referring back to
The tubular member 80 further comprises a handle 166 on end 80 a that may be used to grip and swivel the tubular member 80 and second telescoping member 156 in the manner described later herein. A bolt, lock or locking means 168 having a handle 168 a is threadably secured to the tubular member 80 so that after the telescoping tubular member 150 is telescoped to a desired position in the direction of double arrow K in
The second telescoping member 156 further comprises a telescoping tubular member or sleeve 170 that can move or telescope in the direction of double arrow L. The member or sleeve 170 is locked to the second member 156 with the lock, threaded bolt or locking means 172 having handle 172 a after the member 170 is moved or telescoped to the desired position relative to second member 156.
At an end 170 a of member 170, a post 174 is secured thereto. A pad support member 176 is situated on the post 174 and may be moved in the direction of double arrow H in
It should be understood that the pad 74 has a wood or metal back 74 a over which a sheer or foam padding 74 b is secured. The pad 74 is secured directly to pad support member 176 with screws 179. Thus, when the pad support member 176 is adjusted relative to the telescoping member 170 in the direction of double arrow H, the position or height of the pad 74 may be adjusted relative to the ground or playing surface 13. A position of the pad 74 relative to the box-out area 75 (
As mentioned, the pad 74 may be fastened to the member 176 with screws 179, as illustrated in
To adjust a "wingspan" of arm 80, as defined by members 80, 150, 156 and 170, the tubular member 80 comprises a lock or locking means 182 having a handle 182 a. In the embodiment being described, the lock 182 is a threaded bolt that is screwed into a threaded opening in flange 80 b and, ultimately, received in an aperture 90 b 1 of cam plate 90 in order to lock the tubular member 80 to a predetermined position in the cam plate 90. It should be understood that the tubular member 80 can be positioned along an arc defined by the apertures 90 b 1. This permits the members 80, 150, 156 and 170 to be positioned into a plurality of angles within the arc.
Member 150 of elbow 155 comprises a locking flange 190 having a lock or locking means 192 having an associated handle 194. In the embodiment being described, the lock 192 is a threaded bolt that is screwed into the threaded opening in the flange 190. The lock 192 is screwed into the flange 190 until an end is received in one of the apertures 90 b 1, 152 b. This means that the telescoping members 156 and 170 can be moved or positioned into a plurality of angular or arcuate positions along the arc defined by apertures 152 b. For ease of illustration, only a few of the apertures 152 b have been shown, but it should be appreciated that more or fewer apertures or even a continuous aperture (not shown) may be provided to provide numerous or substantially infinite adjusting positions which enable the position of the pad 74 to be adjusted in a plurality of different positions.
Initially, the position of the pads 74 and 78 is adjusted relative to a box-out area 75. This is accomplished by performing one or more of the following operations, which may be done in any sequence. First, the angular position θ (
The telescoping tubular member 150 is then moved or telescoped in the direction of double arrow K (
If desired, the pad 74 may be moved up or down (as viewed in
The angle θ (
The components of the second wing, pad adjustment assembly or arm 82 are adjusted in a manner similar to the first wing, pad adjustment assembly or arm 80 so that the joining members or wings or pads 74 and 78 are adjusted to the desired practice position relative to the box-out area 75. In this regard, it has been found that some coaches and athletes like the joining members or wings or pads 74 and 78 in "tight" to simulate a tight rebounding or box-out environment, while other coaches and athletes prefer one or more of the joining members or wings or pads 74 and 78 to be situated farther from the box-out area 75 in order to simulate a larger boxed out area.
After the joining pads 74 and 78 are adjusted relative to the box-out area 75, the system 10 may be used by the player P. One typical use of the system 10 will now be described relative to
As will be described in more detail below, once the position of the rebounding arm or carriage 24 and pads 74 and 78 are adjusted to the desired position, then the player P may simulate boxing-out and grabbing a rebound by boxing-out one of the pads 74 and 78 and then grabbing the basketball 28 and pulling it downward. After the positioning of rebounding arm 24 and pads 74 and 78 has been completed, player P may begin a cyclic practice session wherein a swivel assembly serves as a virtual opponent by toggling a series of forces responsive to boxing-out rebounding efforts by the player. Note that the rebounding device 22 comprises the solenoids 26 a, 26 b (
As illustrated in
The player P then engages (
As player P continues to drive pad 74 until U-shaped member 120 moves left of center C (as viewed in
After the basketball 28 is rebounded, the player P may pass the basketball 28, shoot the basketball 28 toward the hoop 18, or continue practicing the box-out drill. In this regard, the conventional rebounding device 22 may be loaded with a plurality of balls so that the player P can simply discard the rebounded basketball 28 and proceed with another box-out and rebound drill. Thus, the player P may engage the pad 78 and simulate boxing out an opponent by forcing the pad 78 from the position shown in
Thus, advantageously, the system and method of the invention provide a means for practicing boxing out and rebounding of a basketball 28. The first and second adjustable pad assemblies 71 and 73 or wings 80 and 82 may be adjusted relative to their distance from the box-out area 75, as well as the angle and position of the pads 74 and 78 relative to the backboard 16. The system and method provide means for providing a predetermined resistance so that the position of the pads 74 and 78 and wings 80 and 82 may be adjusted so that the resistance provided against the player P may be altered by simply providing springs with more or less resilience. Although not shown, the system 10 may comprise one or more adjustable arms 80 and 82 and may comprise a plurality of pads. The arms 80 and 82 may have more than one pad on each arm.
A push against a pad 74 or 78 produces a torque tending to rotate the pad about an axis 362 colinear with a center line passing through the centers of passages or apertures 90 a and 92 a of swivel plates 90, 92 respectively. During steady state pushing against one or the other of pads 74, 78, springs 142, 144 are stretched to generate a torque which just balances the torque being created by the player.
Referring now to
As best illustrated in
The system 10 may comprise a cylinder 310 (
Advantageously, this rotating and pivoting feature of the invention enables the upper portion of the box-out assembly to be folded into a stored position illustrated in
As mentioned earlier herein, the invention may be used with or without the rebounder 22, backboard 16, hoop 18 and the like. The base 12 is portable and can be moved to any desired position, such as under an existing basketball hoop, where the invention may be used.
In addition to a box-out drill, the invention may be used as with a shooting drill. For example, the Player P in
An alternative example of the invention will now be described with reference to
Referring to
Still referring to
It is a feature of this invention that the pair of wings 80, 82 (
In operation, brake shoes 310, 320 are clamped between spreaders 308, 309 and are squeezed against swivel plates 390, 392 in the process. When a player pushes against one of pads 74, 78 a torque is produced about axis 385. Swivel assembly 384 reacts to that torque by generating a reaction torque of equal and opposite magnitude. As the player increases the magnitude of the push against the pad (74 or 78) there is a corresponding increase in the magnitude of the reaction.
Continuing to describe
At this juncture it is appropriate to review some friction fundamentals. Friction is a force which arises when mating surfaces are placed in contact under a normal force "N", acting in a direction perpendicular to the mating surfaces, while at the same time being subjected to a disturbing force "F", acting parallel to the mating surfaces. The frictional force tends to maintain a state of rest between the mating surfaces. It arises naturally upon the occurrence of the disturbing force and acts in a direction to oppose that force. As the magnitude of the disturbing force increases, so does the friction force. The friction force continues to rise as necessary to prevent sliding movement between the surfaces. As the disturbing force reaches some critical level the frictional bond is broken and the surfaces suddenly slip and begin sliding at a fixed relative speed. The action occurs in accordance with the following well known equation:
As soon as the frictional bond is broken the coefficient of static friction reduces to a lower level known as the coefficient of dynamic friction. Once relative motion has begun, it will continue, so long as the disturbing force exceeds the retarding effect of dynamic friction. That is what happens in the friction-based system of
The force acting between the swivel plates and the brake shoes 310 and 320 may be manually adjusted by means of the actuator 304 (
It will be appreciated that adjustment of the friction-based system is more simply achieved than is the case for the spring-based system. It is much easier to turn the handle 302 than to change the springs 142, 144. It has been found that variations in size and strength of a cross section of typical users create a need for springs having different lengths and spring constants. For example, a pair of springs suitable for a petite female would not provide a sufficient workout for a professional basketball player.
Referring again to
The system 10 facilitates training for the game of basketball by simulating the response of a virtual opponent movement by a participating player. The optional rebounder 22 supplies basketballs to an elevated cradle 27 (
Thus, the system and method of the invention facilitate training for the game of basketball by simulating the response of a virtual opponent to movement by a participating player. An optional rebounder 22 supplies basketballs to an elevated cradle 27, from which they may be pulled down by the player. The player practices boxing-out by pushing against one or another of two reaction pads 74, 78. System 10 may comprise one or more adjustable arms 80 and 82 and may comprise a plurality of pads. The arms 80 and 82 may have more than one pad on each arm.
After the system and method are used by a Player P, the system can be conveniently stored. Alternatively, the backboard 16 may be moved into a stored position, as illustrated in phantom view in
While the method herein described, and the forms of apparatus for carrying this method into effect, constitute preferred embodiments of this invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to this precise method or forms of apparatus, and that changes may be made in either without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined in the appended claims.

Alan Dixon. Dixon passed away last year, but he left behind a legacy of service and the ability to work in a bipartisan manner. Several Illinois leaders gathered for the dedication ceremony. House Speaker Michael Madigan started as a state representative in 1971, when Dixon was a state senator. "He was always a joy to be with," Madigan said.

Intrinsic location functionals of stationary processes

Samorodnitsky, Gennady; Shen, Yi
We consider a large family of measurable functionals of the sample path of a stochastic process over compact intervals (including first hitting times, leftmost location of the supremum, etc.) we call intrinsic location functionals. Despite the large variety of these functionals and their different nature, we show that for stationary processes the distribution of any intrinsic location functional over an interval is absolute continuous in the interior of the interval, and the density functions always have a version satisfying the same total variation constraints. Conversely, these total variation constraints are shown to actually characterize stationarity of the underlying stochastic process. We also show that the possible distributions of the intrinsic location functionals over an interval form a weakly closed convex set and describe its extreme points, and present applications of this description.

Sci-Art in Motion: Experiments and Exploration: Artists and Scientists Are Exploring New Aesthetic Territories and Creating Artwork That Is Uniquely about This Century
Meyers, Laura, Art Business News
Art and science may seem improbable bedfellows, but their marriage, often called Sci-Art, is one of the hottest topics in today's art world.
Sci-Art is about how artists and scientists observe the world and their enduring attraction to what happens at the edge of discovery. As astronomer/fine-art photographer Bill Fletcher puts it, "Science and art go together--both are about what the human mind explores."
Whether the subject is lunar surfaces, cellular structures, elementary particles, DNA or even how a human brain thinks, science is increasingly dominated by cutting-edge imaging technologies. Sci-Art emerges when artists--or scientists thinking like artists--apply those technologies and scientific work to the creation of art.
Once relegated to computer trade expos, academic conferences and science museums, the convergence of art and science has lately been the focus of fine-art exhibits in New York, San Francisco, London, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. For example, the international Center of Photography (ICP) in New York has just concluded a five-part exhibition series, "Imaging the Future: The Intersection of Science, Technology and Photography," along with a retrospective show of work by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, an art-science pioneer.
The ICP is not alone in its interest in Sci-Art. "Paradise Now: Picturing the Genetic Revolution," which showcased 39 artists exploring the science of genomics, traveled from New York's Exit Gallery to galleries at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and the University of Michigan from 2001 to 2002. As part of an ongoing art-in-science series, the Esther M. Klein Art Gallery in Philadelphia presented "The Earth Exposed," integrating art, technology and earth science research through imagery taken by astronauts and satellites.
London's Blue Gallery exhibited the photographs of Russian cosmonaut Yuri Usachev taken while he was orbiting the Earth as commander of the International Space Station (ISS). In San Francisco, Blue Room Gallery presented "Interfacing Ideas: Fine Art Meets Technology," works by 17 artists of the YLEM Organization, an art-science group whose name comes from big-bang theories. "It was a great success--tons of people came out to the show," said gallery director Paul Mahder. "We showed everything from holograms to giant installations. One artist did art by using her own brainwaves; another utilized an electron microscope to make photographs."
Today, hybrid museums, such as ARS Electronica Museum in Linz, Austria, and Hexagram in Montreal, showcase Sci-Art. This summer, Berlin's Digital Art Museum has slated a show of work by art(n) Laboratory, a group of artists and computer scientists who collaborate with other scientists to produce art that visualizes how biological processes work.
At the same time, mainstream art institutions such as New York's Guggenheim Museum and Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art are beginning to acknowledge that, just as the technological advances and scientific discoveries in the late 19th century inspired dramatic changes in art forms in the 20th century, so too have the digital revolution, quantum mechanics, space travel and advances in biology and genetics in the 21st century.
The Next Generation's Bold New Steps
"The 20th century was full of interest in science and technology and art, and more so today," said Stephen Nowlin, director of the Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. "Now, all the interesting questions in society come from science." Nowlin's interest in art science-technology mergers began when he was an art student in the 1960s, and he has curated a decade-long series of art science crossover exhibitions.
"Interest in art and science is growing--it's in the air. And it doesn't surprise me," said Nowlin. "Science is upsetting the apple cart, challenging long held notions related to life span and personality, undermining our cherished, traditional thoughts about ourselves. …

Talihina City Water
Posted in the Talihina Forum
#1 Oct 25, 2011
Am I the only one that feels like the Talihina water is way over priced for water that we can not drink?
#2 Oct 25, 2011
mine is so bad we have to buy drinking water turn our ice makers off, i have to clean the tub and stinks out, mostly stinks the whole house smell, our john has dirty rings around it.dont wash white clothes they will stain with the dirty in thr water, those stains does not come out...

Yes the water is bad and it is over priced. Water in Talihina is higher than anyother city around check the prices. It is the towns falt get out and go to City Counsel meeting, vote them out of office or you will be paying even higher prices.
#6 Oct 27, 2011
You have no idea what you are talking about. Sounds like you need to go to a council meeting and learn something! It is not the highest of any city. Until recently it was the lowest in the state of Oklahoma. Call the city engineers. They can tell you what is being required by DEQ. The Oklahoma Rural Water Board is the one requiring the water rates to be raised. Work should begin on the updated water plant in the next year. I agree that it is hard to pay that price for water when most of the time you can't drink it! I also ruined a load of whites because of the water. I'm not saying it's right I'm saying that as a resident of Talihina I have been to meetings and have spoken to the engineers and they explained about the water and the rates. I have learned alot since moving here. Like, everyone wants to gripe about the town and the council but no one wants to run for election. Most of the time they don't even have an opponent to run against because, like I said, people just want to bitch without knowing the facts or getting involved. Every council meeting I have been to, I have been the only one there. You really can voice your concern during the public forum. Or, you can contact a council member and have something put on the agenda for discussion. Until people get involved for the better of the town not much is going to change. You can sit around and bad mouth everything, but that is not going to improve the town in a positive way. Just saying!!!

Obviously, as we all take showers daily. Well most of us do, there are some that need to learn to do that.

#14 May 8, 2012
yes Talihina water is horrible.... and its not right when you half to pay for water when you cant use it in everyday needs... its stupid...
#15 May 8, 2012
I don't know how you don't use it for everyday needs. I still have to flush my toilet, take a shower, wash dishes, wash clothes, etc. If you are buying water to do all of these chores you can afford the water bill better than I can. I don't drink it but I use it throughout the day.
#16 May 11, 2012
ring in toilet,dirt in bathtub,dishes in dishwasher dirty like sand all over them,whites are just nasty.
#17 May 11, 2012
I'm really sorry that you are having those kinds of problems. I live in town and don't have those issues on an everyday basis. When they flush fire hydrants or have a major water leak the water is disgusting. I have ruined a load of whites during one of those times so I understand your frustration. It is my understanding that the city will be starting construction on their new water plant before the year's end. I can't wait to not have to buy water to drink.

#18 Jul 28, 2012
The water is bad!
#20 Jul 29, 2012
The water issue needs fixed its unhealthy.
#21 Jul 30, 2012
The final loan papers have been signed and construction will start very soon on the water plant construction. I understand there were a couple breaks last week and a pump that went down at the water plant. These issues should have been fixed Friday. Please know the city council and city staff are working very hard to correct the problem.

text: Ok. I have sprint and a galaxy S3. While I was running Jelly bean (stock on fon) and a custom Rom I was able to open wifi tethering and tether my tablet to my phone. (Pretty cool) I recently decided to try and go back to stock from custom as a test so my wife's fon can go to stock. (She didn't like the custom rom scene). So now I have stock 4.4 on my phone and there is no more wifi tethering ability. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there anything I can do? Will cm11 let me do this?

Yes, I'm serious, and I think you made up the thing about the "2-second window". There is no such thing. Particularly if the play is dead.
I'm not saying it was a penalty or was illegal. I'm saying that I would prefer to not have one of our star players who is recovering from a major concussion run into the boards away from the puck, after the goalie has covered the puck. Further I would prefer to not have this player swarmed by 3 Penguins while Lucic, who is very capable of making a difference here, watches from a distance. It would just be my preference to see him get involved there, that's all. I'm not calling for Orpik's head. Not ripping on Lucic either. You disagree, that's fine.

BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — Two 19-year-olds were seriously burned by hot cooking grease in Bremerton.
The man and woman were airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle Tuesday night with second- and third-degree burns.
KOMO reports the grease caught fire in their kitchen. He was trying to carrying the flaming pot outside when he stumbled going through the front door. He suffered burns to his face, chest and legs. She suffered burns to her legs and feet.
Firefighters responding to a 911 call found them outside and extinguished the fire on their porch.

Thanks for the feedback. I was kindof thinking the same thing on the dream world tiles, and since I'm still working on them I may change the pallet on those as well. As for the cave entrances are you talking about the large ones or the single tile ones because I'm planning on using those in a similar way to the old secret base entrances in RSE so that may be why they look a little off. Also in case you're wondering for my pallets I've been using the color scheme from hg/ss and lowering the saturation so that its less bright and more gritty since the original pokemon games always seemed more gritty to me.

I have a customer that is in need of a platform upgrade and has a specific use case that makes me think twice about consolidation.
They basically have two services in the network that are currently not even isolated from each other.
They have a site in US and a site in Asia. The US site hosts a filesystem with thousands of files that is synced to Asia for "realtime" work on the files.
They host a VoIP server for a small call center.
So in turn, the CPU hungry process of syncing was starving the VoIP services and degrading call quality and even dropping calls.
We were able to somehow limit the sync process to at least not starve the FS services but an upgrade and isolation is of tasks is required.
Both FreeSWITCH (VoIP) and rsync can be very parallellized and will benefit of more cores but the use of virtualization for the box seems not very advisable because of timing issues and audio quality.
In short, whats your opinion:
More cores and kernel level separation of the tasks? Two separate boxes?

What is Victoria Symphony Splash?
Victoria Symphony Splash is an annual Victoria Symphony event that takes place on a floating stage moored in Victoria's Inner Harbour. It includes musical entertainment, food, souvenirs and the evening's highlight: a live performance by the Victoria Symphony. Splash is now one of the largest annual symphony events in North America, attracing up to 40,000 Victoria residents and visitors from all over the world, some who visit Victoria just to see Splash! Over 400 volunteers help to bring the event to the community.
What kind of music does the orchestra play?
The music performed is a mix of classical and popular selections and one (or two) talented young soloists are featured each year. The concert concludes with a performance of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, complete with bells, cannons, and fireworks.
What time does Splash begin?
Many people arrive early to ensure they have a good view of the barch for the orchestra performance at 7:30 PM. The Family Zone opens from 1:00 – 4:00 PM, and the opening act (2014 opening act features The Timebenders) begins at 4:00 PM. Splash concludes at approximately 10:00 PM.
What is the admission?
Victoria Symphony Splash is produced entirely by the Victoria Symphony and supported by generous sponsors. We ask that you donate $5 per person to make this event a reality. Every $5 donation will receive a Splash Button which you can wear proudly to show your support for the Symphony. You'll find volunteers with donation buckets roaming the crowds or you can track down one of our donation barrels. All proceeds go to support the Victoria Symphony.
What should I bring?
You may want to bring a folding chair, or a blanket if you plan to sit on the Legislature lawn. If you do bring a chair, please observe all posted signs and roped-off areas. The wind off the water can be chilly after sunset, so bring a sweater or wrap. Please be advised that sunscreen and hats are recommended for sun protection and water to keep you hydrated! Chairs will not be allowed to be set up before 8:00 AM on August 2.
What amenities are available?
Food and beverage vendors are located on Government Street next to the Royal BC Museum. A percentage of sales is donated to the Victoria Symphony. Portable washrooms are located in easily identified areas and St. John's Ambulance staff several first-aid stations. Seats on the Grandstand (bleecher-style seating) are available for purchase in advance through the Victoria Symphony Box Office (250.385.6515). Grandstand seats remaining on Splash Day can be purchased through the Informatoin and Merchandise tent on site. Blankets, sweatshirts, cooler bags, and other items are also available for purchase a tth emerchandise tent on site.
What should I do if I have a physical disability?
We have a designated area for people with disabilities on the lawns of the Empress. People requiring assistance and those in wheelchairs are welcome to come with their family to enjoy this area after 4 pm.
Is it possible to come by boat?
Yes! Small craft owners (kayakers, canoeists) can moor their craft near the barge to listen to the music from the water. The Harbour Master will let you know if your watercraft is too close to the barge.
Open 1:00 – 4:00 PM, the Victoria Symphony Splash Family Zone will feature plenty of activities for the entire family
Activities include:
- Face painting
- Instrument petting zoo
- Craft activities by RBCM, Robert Bateman Centre, Parks Canada and more
- Games and activities with Sportball
- Bouncy Castle
- Clowns and more!
This year's Family Zone is generously sponsored by the Province of British Columbia. Come see it from 1 pm – 4 pm, August 2 on the grounds of the Fairmont Empress.
History of Splash!
The Victoria Symphony launches its first Symphony Splash in celebration of its 50th Anniversary. Thousands of people showed up at the Inner Harbour to watch the orchestra play on a barge moored off shore. And they have been coming ever since, in greater and greater numbers.
The leaders of the organization at the time were Board President Murry Glazier, General Manager C. Stephen Smith and Music Director Peter McCoppin.
The following year donation barrels were set up and staffed by volunteers. In 1992 organizers arranged for a larger barge and a better sound system and, by 1993, concrete pilings were installed in the harbour to provide permament moorage for the Splash barge.
Splash is now one of the largest annual symphony events in North America. The event attracts up to 40,000 Victoria residents and visitors, and over 400 volunteers contribute to its goal of brining the symphony to the people.
Each year a young soloist is chosen to perform with the Victoria Symphony, a tradition that began in 1994 and to this day is supported by the Keslie and Murray Glazier Young Musicians Fund.
2014 marks the 25th anniversary of this great community event. Throughout the years, the event has continued to grow and improve. There have been a myriad of sensational acts, countless successes and overwhelmong support from the generous community of Victoria.
Moments in History
1994 – The tradition of the Splash young soloist is commenced with violinist Timothy Haig through the support of the Leslie and Murray Glazier Young Musician's Fund.
1995 – Splash is postponed due to torrential rain showers and is rescheduled for a later show in August on Belleville Street.
2003 – Tania Miller's debut as Splash conductor.
2005 – Maestro Giuseppe Pietraroia steps in to save Splash when an expectant Maestra Tania Miller delivers her first child a few days earlier than anticipated!
2006 – The only year anyone actually made a 'splash." One of the pipers, in full regalia, accidentally stepped off the barge at the end of the show. Although he was pulled quickly out of the water, the band still jokes about the "piper down!" cries that were heard from the crowd!
2009 – The orchestra parade is added giving Tania Miller, the young soloist, and the musiians the grand entrance they deserve.

Ben Parker, Trumpet
Ben began playing trumpet when he was seven years old. The first year he played without a teacher and taught himself how to play by ear. Attending Comox Youth Music Centre's classical music camp inspired him to play more classical music. He auditioned for the GVYO and got to play second trumpet with his schoolmate, Chris Fenje. This is Ben's third year playing with the GVYO. He currently goes to St Michael's University School and studies trumpet with Tim Quinlan.
Ben will be playing Arutiunian's Trumpet Concerto.
Rebecca Bracewell, Accordion
Rebecca Bracewell was born in 1997. At the age of three, she was diagnosed with a severe hearing loss and ever since has had to wear hearing aids. One would think that someone having such an immense obstacle could not possibly be a musician. But not Rebecca, at the age of seven she started playing the piano.
After getting an old accordion at the age of 13, Rebecca fell in love with it, and couldn't imagine her life without the music. At the age of 15, she decided to find herself the best possible accordion teacher and started having lessons with the internationally recognized classical accordionist and teacher, Jelena Milojevic. Under her guidance Rebecca made great strides, becoming the best classical accordionist in North America, under the age of 18. Rebecca recently successfully performed in Canada, US and Australia.
Rebecca will be playing Piazzolla's Libertango and Oblivion.

EA Simulation: OU vs. Utah State
Each week, for fun the OU blog will simulate the Sooners' opponent on NCAA 2011. If you're not interested in fun, move along.
NORMAN — Running backs DeMarco Murray and Jermie Calhoun each ran for a pair of TDs, and QB Landry Jones started the season crisp, as the Sooners dispatched Utah State 66-17 at Owen Field in the opener for both teams.
OU, however, didn't start this game crisp. The Aggies, 31-point underdogs, actually led 14-7 after the first quarter thanks to a pair of scoring bombs from QB Diondre Borel.
But the Sooners responded to outscore Utah State 31-3 in the second quarter and retake command. DeMarco Murray scored both of his TDs in the second, and linebacker Tom Wort capped the scoring barrage with a score off an 11-yard fumble return just before halftime.
Jones finished the night 24 of 33 passing for 246 yards and two touchdowns before being replaced by backup Drew Allen in the third quarter.
But it was Calhoun who came in relief to run for a career-high 147 yards to carry the Sooner offense in the second half.
Perhaps the best sign of the day, though, came from kicker Patrick O'Hara, who made all nine extra-point attempts and split the uprights on his only field goal attempt, from 29 yards out.
Travis Lewis led the Sooners defensively with 10 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble, as the defense tuned up for next week's bout with nationally ranked Florida State.
