In addition to the thrills of enormous indoor water parks, Great Wolf Resorts offers an expansive selection of characters, attractions, activities and dining and shopping outlets that capture family vacation expenditures. The company will assist prospective clients in choosing and incorporating these assets into design and construction plans.
Wiley the Wolf, Violet the Wolf and their animal friends are at the center of the Great Wolf Lodge guest experience. Sammy the Squirrel, Rachel Raccoon and her younger brother Oliver Racoon and little Brinley Bear round out the cast, providing lots of choices and characteristics for children to identify with.
The costumed characters come out to play with children in a variety of different ways at Great Wolf Lodge; there are scheduled meet-and-greets, character breakfasts and Story Time appearances, and parents can even schedule in-suite visits with milk and cookies for their little ones.
Much of the merchandise offered through Great Wolf Lodge shopping outlets is character-themed, capturing family vacation expenditures as guests select souvenirs and other items with which to remember the excitement and fun of a Great Wolf Lodge getaway.
Great Wolf Resorts creates elaborate celebrations three times a year to make the guest experience more meaningful and fun for guest families. The marketing for these celebrations makes them attractive to guests as great times to visit Great Wolf Lodge.
Annual How-O-Ween festivities last all October long with gigantic balloon sculptures that hang from the rafters in the Grand Lobby, costume parades, haunted houses, trick-or-treat trails and Holloween-themed spooky stories and crafts.
Snowland celebrations begin on the day after Thanksgiving each year and last through early January with indoor snow showers, huge decorated trees, visits from Santa, North Pole University and seasonal crafts and stories. Guests can also upgrade to Snowland Suites, which come complete with a decorated tree, twinkling garlands, a souvenir Snowland throw blanket, a bedtime visit with milk and cookies from one of the Great Wolf Kids characters and a copy of the Great Wolf Lodge Unique as a Snowflake storybook.
Spring-a-Palooza celebrates the season from the first week of March to the second week of April with Peeps Flower Garden contests, Hide and Peep Scavenger Hunts, Bubble Dance Parties and special spring-themed activities, crafts, dances and games.
Some of the most popular attractions at any Great Wolf Lodge are the exciting, interactive adventure games that transform the hotel into an enchanted realm of wonder. Participants purchase magic wands, wand toppers, costumes and other themed merchandise in the MagiQuest Marketplace and engage in journeys, quests and ever more engaging levels of play.
Scooops Kid Spa offers manicures, pedicures, facials, scrubs and fizzy soaks, all with an ice cream theme. It's home of the Mommy & Me Pedicure, the Princess Experience and the Neapolitan Combo, and also offers take-home tiaras, sashes and signature Scooops robes.
This gigantic arcade is filled with popular games of skill and chance for every member of the family. Air hockey, basketball and motorcycle and car racing combine with ball drop jackpot games and other favorites to create an immersive family outing where winning tickets are exchanged for exciting prizes.
Clubhouse Crew introduces kids to the Great Wolf Kids in an interactive adventure game that takes participants to different locations for activities throughout Great Wolf Lodge. Families start by choosing a Great Wolf Kids plush toy to bring to life in the Creation Station. Then the chip-enabled toy activates the game's interactive screens.
Dazzlingly colorful, nature-themed challenges follow glowing pathways under a moonlit sky. This black-light-illuminated family vacation favorite combines the best of mini golf with brilliantly colored back drops, animals and paths that take the game to a whole new level.
Anyone can bowl like the big leagues with a little help. Ten Paw Alley combines half-length lanes, one-size-fits-all five-pound balls and a no rental shoe policy to turn simple skills into thrilling and fulfilling family fun.
The ultimate in high-altitude family adventure, Howlers Peak offers a popular ropes course experience to guest families at Great Wolf Lodge locations. Participants overcome high-flying challenges to uncover hidden inner resources, all from the safety of a climbing harness.
It's not just a movie; it's the ultimate, full-immersion, 6-D thrill ride. Participants buckle up for a multi-sensory adventure that makes them feel like they're part of the movie. Motion-enhanced seats, 3D visuals, surround sound, and wind and other special effects complete the experience.
Named for the Great Wolf Kid with the most techno-geek know-how, Oliver's Time Challenge is a race against the clock as participants sprint between LED button panels to press the flashing lights and gain points.
Perhaps the most popular Great Wolf Lodge tradition, Story Time brings kids out in their PJs to experience a story about the great Northwoods. Great Wolf Kids characters join the fun with after-story photo ops, and unforgettable memories ensue.
A morning prowl around the Grand Lobby teaches kids about forest friends and sends them home with their own origami wolf souvenir.
Animatronic animals come to life at scheduled times in the Grand Lobby with Grandpa Bear, his family of forest friends and the story of how the seasons came to be. Families enjoy the clap-along songs and sweet-funny jokes.
Animatronic characters come to life at different times of the day to entertain families with songs, stories, jokes and more. Northwoods themes and happy children are the hallmarks of this attraction.
Great Wolf Lodge ambassadors of fun bring ever-changing moments of excitement and fun to guest families with great big games, music, dance parties, Yoga Tails, face painting, balloon twisting, craft projects, hula hoop contests and Wiley's Howlin' Bingo.
Great Wolf Resorts' newest dining option offers a sit-down steakhouse experience with high-quality menu options including premium, wood fired steaks, freshly caught seafood, lodge smoked ribs, unique family sharables and crisp market salads and vegetables, all topped off with a selection of fun two-dollar desserts and Tiki-inspired cocktails.
Farm fresh eggs, applewood smoked bacon, signature wolf waffles, organic yogurts and granolas and fresh fruits and berries start guests off in the morning at the Loose Moose Family Kitchen. Dinners overflow with world cuisine, fresh, composed salads, fish and seafood from sustainable markets and a big variety of tasty desserts in this sit-down, buffet style restaurant.
Offering the full range of take-out pizza menu items, Hungry as a Wolf starts with Brooklyn style, hand-stretched pizza dough and the freshest of premium toppings and adds Italian and meatball Parmesan sandwiches, garlic cheese bread and freshly made, ingenious salads. It's all available to Great Wolf Lodge guests with a quick phone call and pick up under our big roof.
Hearty poolside family picnics are just a few steps away in the water park at Great Wolf Lodge. Buckets Incredible Craveables offers a full menu of mouthwatering premium burgers, sandwiches, fresh salads and vegetables. The signature Tipping Bucket dessert combines soft-serve ice cream, brownies, cookies, candy pieces, chocolate sauce and whipped cream in a souvenir bucket with color-changing spoons.
Freshly brewed coffees, espressos, mochas and lattes tempt guests into Great Wolf Lodge's sweets shop early and late. Bear Paw Sweets & Eats offers freshly baked pastries and cupcakes, luscious ice cream and delectable lodge-crafted fudge in many flavors. Hand-dipped caramel apples and chocolate strawberries offer healthier alternatives along with fresh fruit.
Grizzly Jack's Bar and Grill offers the freshest local ingredients in creative cocktails and memorable bites to enjoy in the shaded ambiance of a cool poolside bar. This is the place to experience Great Wolf Lodge's regionally motivated cuisine and seasonal selections in an outdoor oasis.
Packed with Great Wolf Lodge souvenirs, clothing and accessories, the Great Wolf Kids Store also offers the Great Wolf Kids plush toys along with books, games, jewelry and other fun and fascinating merchandise.
Children and their parents visit the Creation Station to choose a friend for life. Great Wolf Kids plush toys come with a variety of outfits and accessories, and once selected, children actually participate in bringing their new friend to life at the Stuffing Station. These wonderful toys make great souvenirs, but they're also the key to activating the Clubhouse Crew adventure game.
Offering an unforgettable variety of Great Wolf Lodge-themed clothing, accessories and housewares, Buckhorn Exchange is the premier shopping outlet of Great Wolf Resorts. Guest families select jewelry, totes, books, cups, kitchenware, frames and toys for the perfect souvenir.

Vice Mayor of Mianyang visits DDM to express gratitude
On 5 December, 2010, Vice Mayor of Mianyang City, Sichuan, Mr. Qi Zhao, and 19 other members visited the Dharma Drum Mountain World Center for Buddhist Education in Jinshan Township of Taipei County.
Vice Mayor Zhao stated that the aim of the visit was to thank DDM's compassion of dispatching relief teams to help victims soon after the deadly earthquake in northern Sichuan. Moreover, the constructions donated by DDM, including The Medical Center in Chenjiaba, Xiushui Primary School and The Medical Center in Xiushui, were successfully inaugurated within two years following the earthquake. Zhao praised that the buildings, with their superior design and quality, have become landmarks in Mianyang City.
DDM's Vice Abbot President, Venerable Guo Pin, and Secretary General of DDM Social Welfare and Charity Foundation, Venerable Guo Qi, held the welcome reception for the Mianyang delegation.
Venerable Guo Pin first welcomed Vice Mayor Zhao's visit on behalf of the DDM Sangha Community. He mentioned that efforts made by DDM's relief teams in Sichuan were to commit to the idea of 'Protecting Spiritual Environment' and every team member commits to the rehabilitation of the victims with the minds of learning and dedication.
The reception was joyful and ended in the exchange of gifts.

Louis Marino, Music Man
Ad-industry rag The NY Egotist got a real earful this week when they came by the MKTG Creative Studio for a chat with our own Louis Marino. After 20 years in the music and fashion industries, including 2 as creative director at Bad Boy Entertainment, our man Marino knows a thing or two about keeping beat with the big boys. In the Egotist profile posted here, he talks about how music informs his craft, how celebrities can best avoid Twitter troubles but still engage their audience, and what MKTG's own future business objectives are (clue: rhymes with Pick Grass).

Summertime Is the Right Time for Gen Y
Lazy summer days are no time for smart marketers to be lazy, says MKTG's own Charlie Horsey in an Ad Age article this week. The opportunities for building strong, long-term connections with the elusive Gen Y consumer, he says, are much more numerous in the season of outdoor festivals, sporting events and good old-fashioned fun in the sun. In other words, to reach Gen Y ya gotta strike while the summer is hot.
We Got Carded
Talk about playing your cards right. The distinctive design of the MKTG business card has caught the eye of Media Bistro's AgencySpy, whose feature story on the best biz cards in the biz was inspired by our own. If you've met one of us, you know our cards feature a pared-down design on the front and a cavalcade of clever copy on the back. If you haven't yet, get to know us here. Very nice to meet you!

This material must not be used for commercial purposes, or in any hospital or medical facility. Failure to comply may result in legal action.
Hemodialysis is a procedure to remove chemicals, wastes, and extra fluid from your blood. Hemodialysis does the job of your kidneys when they cannot, such as in chronic kidney failure. A machine takes blood from your artery and pumps it through a dialyzer. The dialyzer removes chemicals, waste, and extra fluid from your blood. Once they are removed, clean blood from the dialyzer returns to your body through a vein. You may need hemodialysis for the rest of your life.
- Erythropoietin and vitamins may be given. Erythropoietin is a medicine to replace a similar chemical normally made by healthy kidneys. It may help your body make red blood cells and help prevent anemia (low levels of red blood cells). Your primary healthcare provider (PHP) or nephrologist will tell you if you need to take iron and folic acid medicines. These vitamins may help your body make red blood cells. You may also need to take calcium to prevent or treat bone diseases that sometimes happen with kidney failure.
- Take your medicine as directed. Contact your PHP if you think your medicine is not helping or you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Follow up with your PHP or nephrologist as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Arteriovenous fistula or graft care:
- Clean the skin over the fistula or graft each day with soap and water.
- You may remove the bandage over your fistula or graft 4 to 6 hours after dialysis.
- Check your fistula or graft each day for good blood flow by touching it with your fingertips. The buzzing sensation means that it is working.
- Check for bleeding, pain, redness, or swelling. These may be signs of infection or a clogged fistula or graft.
- Prevent damage to the fistula or graft. Do not let anyone take your blood pressure or draw blood from the arm that has the fistula or graft. Do not sleep on that arm. Do not wear tight clothes or jewelry.
Dialysis diet:
Your PHP will tell you what changes you need to make to the foods you eat. A dietitian can help you plan meals.
- You will have to limit potassium, phosphorus, sodium (salt), and liquid. You will need more protein than you did before you started dialysis. It may be hard to eat enough food. Your dietitian may suggest that you add extra calories if you are losing weight. Ask your dietitian for more information about a dialysis diet.
- Ask which liquids to drink, and how much to have. Write down how much liquid you drink each day. Remember to count ice cubes and ice chips. Also count foods that contain liquid. This includes soup, gravy, gelatin, ice cream, and popsicles. Try to drink only when you are thirsty. Limit the amount of caffeine you drink.
- Suck on hard candy or chew gum to help keep your mouth moist without having to drink liquids. Lemon wedges may also help keep your mouth moist.
Contact your PHP or nephrologist if:
- You have a fever.
- You do not feel a buzzing sensation in your fistula or graft.
- You have chills, cough, or feel weak and achy.
- Your skin itches or you have a rash.
- You cannot make it to your follow-up or dialysis visit.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Return to the emergency department if:
- Blood soaks through your bandage.
- The skin around your fistula or graft is painful, hot, red, or swollen.
- You are urinating little or not at all.
- You cannot eat or drink because you are vomiting.
- Your fingers are blue or pale, or they feel cool to the touch.
- You are breathing fast or have a fast heartbeat.
- You feel confused, dizzy, or lightheaded.
- You have sudden chest pain or trouble breathing.

Wow, what great LPWA solutions we had the pleasure to review in this exciting challenge. A big thank you to all 134 people who submitted projects, we really appreciate your interest and energy put into this competition. An especially big thank you to all the ten nominees who put extra time and effort in discovering what they could do with the LoRa network in Gothenburg.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting many of you and celebrate the winners. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to:
#1 GuardPuck – Solution for preventing tempering attempts of diesel thefts, from Martin Johannesson and his team
#2 Smart Fields – System for easily measuring the moist and nutrition level, from Etteplan with Marcus Carlberg and his team

Dear Challengers,
It's been a pleasure talking to many of you during the last weeks. Some of you have accessed the LoRa network in Gothenburg, other have managed to connect to other LPWA networks and some of you haven't had the chance to connect to a LPWA network but have really good ideas. The jury is looking forward to ALL of your ideas and solutions!
Maybe you need some last minute help before submitting your idea/solution or maybe you just want to interact with other people working on LoRa Low Power Wide Area solutions? Semtech, one of our fantastic sponsors, are inviting you to their LoRa Community.
Register for the LoRa Community and get access to training materials, video's, knowledge base and FAQ, or post questions for topics not covered yet.
Thanks all challengers and partners for a great start of the Tele2 IoT Challenge LPWA.
Yesterday 92 people met at Elite Hotel in Gothenburg to kick-off the Tele2 IoT Challenge LPWA. They got a goodie bag with the dev.kit and other treats from our fatastic partners. We started with a few talks to get inspired and then we split up into workshops.
Here you find all the presentations from the initial talks: Tele2 IoT Challenge kickoff presentations_ALL_20170208
Also, don't miss the FAQ section where you find lots of information on how to get started, how to get access to the LoRa network, how to set up your PubNub account and start exploring IBM Watson IoT Platform etc.
If you have qualified being one of the first 100 challengers to be accepted, your dev.kit will be sent to you within a couple of days.
Great energy, great discussions in the workshop, great knowledge!
We can´t wait to see what you come up with!
Help us out!
Now why did we just do a word play on the famous Marvel quote? Is it because we think D.C. Comics fucked up the Batman vs Superman movie? Is it because we are from Gothenburg? Either way, we need help!
The new LORA network is apparently da shit. A new kind of low power network that that offers two-way communication AND it's secure? Sign us up please! And we hope that you will join us exploring what this actually mean for us in terms of data, insights and added value for our customers.
Or, at least you can maybe explain to us why someone can even entertain the thought that Batman would win in a fight against Superman?!? Beside our interest in super heroes we just happen to be in shipping, property and recycling.
Let's see what we can do together, sign up for our workshop on the kick-off
Stena Group
Stena AB's subsidiaries are engaged in ferry operations, shipping, offshore drilling, property, finance and new business. Stena Line is an important part of Northern Europe's business and logistics system. Stena Line currently operates 20 ferry routes, served by about 35 vessels, and also owns five ports. The company provides efficient and environmentally friendly transportation 24 hours a day, all year round.
In shipping, Stena Bulk controls about 115 tankers and gas carriers. These vessels transport crude oil, petroleum, LNG, vegetable oils and light chemicals all over the world. Most have dedicated crews from Stena's manning company Northern Marine Group. Stena RoRo operates about 20 vessels which also contribute to flexible and fuel-efficient transportation. Many of the RoRo vessels have been converted to create customised cargo solutions for each cargo owner. This requires responsiveness to the customer and technical innovation, which is provided with the help of Stena Teknik.
Stena Drilling engages in offshore drilling. The fleet of high-tech rigs and drillships carries out oil exploration in all types of water depths. The operations are characterised by care through continuous safety work with regard to both personnel and the environment.
Stena Fastigheter (Realestate) builds and manages residential and commercial properties with a long-term focus. The company, one of Sweden's largest private property owners, has the goal of always being the tenant's first choice.
Stena's investment company Stena Adactum makes long-term investments in companies with good profitability and growth potential. New activities in several areas are built and developed through active ownership.
LPWANs are designed to support use cases in which battery life can be measured in years -often 10 years or more-, ensuring a very low total cost of ownership (TCO) for mass Internet of Things applications such as connected buildings, metering, smart cities and agriculture. LoRaWAN is supported by major global network operators including Orange, Comcast, NTT, Softbank, Proximus, KPN, Swisscom etc.
Geolocation and object tracking is one of the major use cases for the Internet of Things, perhaps THE biggest use case. The elasticity of demand for tracking versus cost is enormous: if one could decrease the cost of a tracker to $1, virtually all objects would use the service.
LoRaWAN is not quite there yet, but it's getting close!
LoRaWAN offers several tiers of geolocation services: network based and GPS based. Both offer major improvements over previous techniques.
Read the whole article from Olivier Hersent, CTO, Actility here
This white paper gives you an introductory technical overview of LoRa and LoRaWAN. Low–Power, Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) are projected to support a major portion of the billions of devices forecasted for the Internet of tings (IoT).
LoRaWAN is designed from the bottom up to optimize LPWANs for battery lifetime, capacity, range, and cost. A summary of the LoRaWAN specification for the different regions will be given as well as high level comparison of the different technologies competing in the LPWAN space.
Heard about this? If you're a developer, we can recommend a visit to The University of PubNub. Here you find a series of lectures with hands-on code examples designed to get you started using the PubNub Data Stream Network and coding your realtime app. Taught by PubNub engineers and experts, these lectures are short, code-oriented, and designed for real-world use.
The LoRa Alliance™ is an open, non-profit association of members who believe that the Internet of Things era is now! Here members can collaborate and share experiences. Visit their website to learn more about the LoRa technology, download whitepapers or enter their developers' zone for the techier ones.

And what better theme to have for your event compared to a Mexican fiesta where you could thrill your close friends with your Mexican food preparation abilities as well as methods. At the same time, a Mexican fiesta style would definitely be a hit with your friends as the celebration environment is extremely laid back as well as boosting, filled with fantastic colors.
For your Mexican-themed party, you can make a decision to serve lots of sort of Mexican food and because you and your close friends will certainly be in front of the television so you do not miss any of the activity and also the dramatization of the video game, you should pick foods that are easy to eat. You could offer foods such as tacos, nachos with salsa, burritos as well as possibly also tamales. I found out that the tonys taco shop in salem is one of the best place's to eat around here.
For drinks as well as dessert, you can most definitely serve margaritas as well as probably Mexican wedding event cookies. Aside from being finger foods, all these meals are really easy to prepare so you won't have to spend way too much time for both the food preparation and prep work process.
You can also choose to prepare the foods you're going to serve means ahead of time. Maybe you could do this even a few weeks prior to the party where you'll then place your productions in the freezer so you can thaw them out prior to offering. If you have various other things you need to prepare before the big video game, it's an excellent concept to this.
One more wonderful way to have enjoyable at a Mexican fiesta event style is to have a taco bar. If you desire to have your Mexican carnival party in your yard, barbecuing would be the ideal way to go.
Large onions called handle onions, which are generally located in Mexican markets, could also be barbequed with jalapenos and also offered with carne asada.

Perfect! I love this dress!
Five Stars
Its a beautiful dress. It fits as expected and look exactly like displayed.
Fits like a dress. Good for layering or wearing alone. A bit snug but that's why it is a one size fits all. Smells unpleasant in packaging , had to wash immediately!!
Great to use as a slip for under see-through tops, but also great to use as a shirt-extender for when you want a little extra length. They fit snuggly, so they do not bunch up under clothing. Good, elastic material.
super sexy dress
I love this dress but I will be fair and say that your opinion of it will definitely depend on what you are looking for.The dress is short tight (I'm a size 8-10 and it hugs every curve and I am very curvy) and almost transparent soo if that's what you are looking for then this is the dress for you :)

great dress. not too long or short. just the right fit

very pretty and i get what i needed

Cane growers seek key employees
THE NSW Cane Growers Association is looking to secure key personnel that could be lost following reforms in the industry.
The local cane industry will be looking to retain the services of two technical field officers who serve the Condong and Harwood growing areas, but are employed by the Queensland based BSES.
The BSES is currently undergoing a reform process to improve its financial liability. Under the reforms up to 30 positions will be made redundant including the local field officer positions, NSW Cane Growers Association president Vince Castles said.
The local industry was looking at ways to keep the positions operating. "We have ideas for them," he said.

How To Jazz Up Sunglasses For Summer! Tutorial
Well it's not Summer here but I think I'm a bit tired of Winter so I'm pretending it is >_>
For someone who only ever seems to wear one pair of sunglasses I sure have a lot of them hanging around the house. So on a mission to get rid of the things I didn't use I decided to give some of the sunglasses a make over and actually start using them!
The end result is pink and green, perfect for a warm Spring day out! Now if only we had some warm days!
Originally the sunglasses were clear and pink. Cute but for some reason I never really wore them.
All it took was a few coats of nail polish!
I got some polish on the lenses because I was a bit careless it it was easy to poke off with a toothpick once dry.
Super cute!
It's inspired me to be a bit more creative and try to dress up my other sunglasses too!
I'm on a roll with my crafting! I'm going to start some new knitting projects this weekend, what are you guys crafting at the moment?

Now something completely different: Coron Guitar Effect pedals
Yea right! A couple of years ago I was doing music and like any other guitarist I have amassed a pile of guitar effects.
If you search the net for guitar effect pedals you'll usually find tons of information including schematics and review. I have a wah which I wasn't able to find much information for, so I decided to take it apart and do a technical review. The pedal was in need for a good clean-up anyway.
The Coron Wah-Pedal W-220.
So first I have to admit that I haven't played it much. Wah is just not my thing. I mean – I totally love the sound, but I never got that hand/foot coordination thing going.
If you open it up you'll see that it's mechanic is quite sturdy and similar to higher praised brands like Vox or Dunlop.
Also at the first look the circuit board looks like just another Vox style two transistor Wah. I wanted to find out exactly which schematic they've copied, so I dug a little bit deeper and I found:
It's not a 100% clone! There is more going on inside. Quickly I drew out the schematic:
What you see here is mostly the two transistor Vox style Wah.
They use 2SC732 transistors. Nice high gain transistors with excellent hFE linearity. The inductor only has half the inductance usually found in Wah pedals, but that has been compensated by doubling C2 from 4.7µF to 10µF. Quality film capacitors for all remaining caps in the audio path. The big 220nF caps have for sure been a lot more expensive than ceramic disk style caps.
The Feedback Path
Remarkable however is the negative feedback path right at the bottom (R12, C6, R13).
This is something I haven't seen in Wah circuits before and it's quite clever: It is frequency dependent, so it linearizes the frequency response and lowers distortion a bit. The frequency dependency makes it much more pronounced in the low frequencies, so it kind of works like a presence control giving a tighter low-end. It also moves the wah bumps a bit up in the frequencies.
Here is a simulation of three pot positions with (green) and without (red) the feedback path:
Actual Traces
I have them as well: I did a small test by generating white-noise using my mbed LPC1768 board, dividing it down to around 0.3Vpp and running it into the Wah. I changed the pot values: Both extremes and some in-between values. The output was sampled using my PC sound-card and converted to a spectrum using FFT:
The output is noisy, true, but you can see that the bump in the frequency response end up roughly at the same spots as the simulation. Nice.
But wtf is this?
Somehow it makes me wonder if the Coron engineers actually knew what they've been doing: Notice the resistor R12 (4.7k) and R13 (220k): They're in series and have 10% tolerance. Whatever R12 is supposed to do, it has no effect because R12 is smaller than the 10% tolerance of R13. Also it's not simply used as a jumper because there is no trace to jumps over either. This resistor is completely useless.
And while we're at it: The R9, the 47 Ohm resistor right after the power source does nothing as well. It's tiny compared to the 22k and 1k collector resistors, and these have a local bypass in C5 anyways. I could see it if the pedal would be powered from a wall-wart. In this case R9 and C5 would build a low-pass filter to get rid of power-source hiss, but this pedal doesn't even have a plug for external power. Only battery is allowed.
There are a few wtf's on the trace side of the PCB as well like needless ground loops and so on. But hey, not critical, it works, doing PCB in the 80'th was harder than today.
Measuring the Inductor
No technical review of a Wah would be complete without taking a look at the inductor: I measured mine as about 320mH with 12.8 Ohm series resistance. The bobbin is type EE-1916 and the core looks like to be laminated steel. The copper wire is very thin. I haven't measured it, but it looks like 0.1mm style wire.
For measuring the inductor I did nearly the same setup as for taking the frequency response curves. It's super simple and doesn't need any special parts:
Here is how:
You take your inductor and a high quality capacitor of know value. You're likely have an idea in what range the inductance is, so pick a capacitor that would result in a notch in the low audio range around 1Khz or so.
Then connect these as a notch filter as shown below:
Now you use an audio editor like Audacity, generate a few seconds of white noise and play them into the filter while sampling from the output. Do a spectrum/FFT analysis of the sampled data and a very deep notch will appear. This is the resonant frequency of your LC filter.
To get from that frequency to the inductance just calculate as:
L = 1/(4 pi^2 C F^2)
And you're done..
Wrap up
The Coron W-220 is not a straight clone of the Vox Wah but a variation of it, it's tighter in the low registers. This may be just what you're looking for. In a band context you don't want to compete with the bass player and if your guitar or rig is already on dark sounding to begin with this Wah may be a good fit as well.
Build quality is on par with the flagships like Vox and Dunlop. They didn't tried to squeeze the last penny out of the parts cost.
These cheap 80th Guitar pedals from Asia tend to have bad reputation overall. Sometimes this is justified, especially for the boss style knock-offs with the plastic housing (does your still has a working battery compartment?). Sometimes they're pretty good though and always worth a try.
Oh, for completes sake, here are the images I've used to trace the schematic from. You can directly overlay them to see the components and traces at the same time:

Ex-basketball national team members lent a helping hand in one of the handful test events leading to the 2016 Rio Olympics
With less than 200 days remaining before the cauldron is lit at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the organizing committee from host country Brazil is putting out all the stops to ensure a smooth and successful 2016 Olympic games.
Their morale was certainly lifted when former players from the men's and women's national teams lent their support in the staging of one of the test events this past weekend that featured four women's squads in a pocket tournament that tested the readiness of the Olympic park venues in Rio.
One of which was former two-time Olympic medallist Alessandra Santos de Oliveira – who competed in the 1996, 2000, and 2004 Olympics for the women's national team – joined a group of volunteers to help out in tasks around the Carioca Arena 1, which will play host to the men's and women's basketball tournaments.
The 42-year old former WNBA star could not contain her excitement when her former team takes the floor, but is very much aware of her small contribution that makes a great impact on the country's hosting of the Rio Olympic games.
"It's difficult when Brazil play[s], because I get excited. But you have to be professional. I am a volunteer and I have to help the team," said Alessandra.
"I have learned a great lesson from this experience. I am contributing to basketball in another way. I am still playing, but I know in my mind that soon I will have to do something else," she added.
In addition to Alessandra, former men's players Alex Borges "Negretti" da Silva, Rafael Mueller, and Guilheme Bez also contributed their share to the Rio pocket tournament's success over the weekend.
Negretti even went out of his way to express his elation over his task, saying that he was able to bank on a rare opportunity to be on the floor at an Olympic venue.
"Being on the court at an Olympic event is something I never thought I'd do," said da Silva. "I'm happy because it's a chance few people get."
"I'm proud to be the first athlete to mop the Olympic basketball court," he added.
In the action on the court, the Australian squad – the Opals – took home the gold after besting out home team Brazil, 77-66, in the final game for the gold. Other teams that competed in the three-day affair in Rio were Argentina and Venezuela.
Aside from the basketball tournaments at the Olympics, the venue is also set to host the wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby tournaments of the Paralympic games.


text: Listening to the promises made by the presidential candidates, most overstep presidential powers and violate the Constitution. Tax law belongs to the U.S. House as does all money bills. Susurrations to the contrary, the president isnt a king which makes the MSM anointments a futility in progress. On Clinton: Rush Limbaugh said Iwoa was the worst night for Hillary since Bills second term. Not even close, the election of Nixon crushed her ideals. In Iowa, this Alinsky drones pyloric valve seized in the open position, showing her true color. You will never hear her expound upon her vision for the U.S. With Clinton, just as Yoda said to Luke, With you, its change, always change. Her idea of change, which amounts to abolishing the Constitution, doesnt sound good on the hustings. Afterwards, the loud noise heard offscreen was a Baby Boomer exploding. On Edwards: He wants to make your life better, but not quite the way he made his life better. An envious man, he wishes to have more money than the collective you. To accomplish this end, everything will be free on his watch. Wait till you see what that costs. You will be verrucose in short order, waiting in line for universal medical relief. Then again, it would be kinder if he merely sued you. Under current tort laws, at least you keep your dignity. On Obama: Same droning sounds as from Silky. Different words used. Obama likes the word hope. We have hope. Hope we can make changes. Change is good for it gives us hope. He has no idea how the real world works. That will never prevent him from lurching into the breech. To give us hope for change, hopefully. On Huckabee: Having prodded GOP caucus goers with his RINO (Republican In Name Only) horn to get what he wanted, let us see how he dolls up the message for low denomination voters. I do not believe many Granite State voters place hands on the T.V. Anyway, Huckabee called the New Hampshire primary the Big Camp Meetingcan I get an amen? On Romney: Many questions need be asked of the Mitt. Does the U.S. deserve the type of government foisted on Massachusetts inmates? Do we need a Big Dig in every state? Why is the working population of Massachusetts shrinking? Why isnt the illegal immigration population shrinking? More to the point, which Mitt is running for office? On McCain: He is in the wrong party. That speaks to his good points. There isnt room for the dark side. On Paul: Collaborating with the Donk moonbat Kucinich, both are investigating the appearance of illegal aliens at Groom Lake aka Area 51, instead of along the border and in meat packing plants. Art Bell is chairman of this primary of two. On Thompson: Not running hard while running, this makes one wonder wassup? If he keeps dissing the lamestream media, he may become the front-runner rather quickly. More of a Washingtonian politician (person, not place) he says it is about duty not desire. Well see if this reaches fruition. On the usual perennial weeds: After signing up for campaign matching funds, they cash the check then spend a minimal amount on electioneering and pocket the rest. This is a common trope for most politicians, usually seen as a groveling for power and reelection, and by the older politicians, sex in strange places and with alien DNA types. Their attendance is for obfuscating purposes only, this heterophony helps shield the front-runners from real questions. Ed Mann

TOKYO, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Japan announced it was suspending its whale hunt in the Antarctic Ocean in part because of pressure from conservation group Sea Shepherd.
Japanese fishing authorities said their whaling mother ship in the antarctic was "harassed" by Sea Shepherd members.
A vessel operated by the group started trailing Japanese whaling ships when they entered the area, London newspaper The Guardian reports. Ships carrying whaling harpoons can't harvest their catch without the mother ship, which carries processing facilities.
A Japanese fleet in the region has processed fewer than 100 whales since it arrived in the region last year. Japan can kill as many as 1,000 whales per year for "scientific research" under a 1986 agreement with the International Whaling Commission.
Whaling officials said the fleet decided to halt "scientific whaling for now" because of the pressure from the conservation group, The Guardian adds.
Japan is one of three countries that hunt whales.
Environmental activist group Greenpeace in a December survey said that most people told interviewers that they didn't approve of Japan's whaling practices.

Hand Dyed Chevron Rug Tutorial
20 comments:
Great tutorial ! Lovely outcome, who would have thought ? Very inspiring DIY!ReplyDelete
Nice work! Did you have to rinse the dye at all to ensure it's set?ReplyDelete
WOW, I am impressed! You make it look relative easy, and I guess I could practice on a small sample rug first.....thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
This is wonderful! I have been looking at rugs since I need to replace the one in my living room. I am LOVEing this idea!ReplyDelete
Can you please tell me where you got your rug?
I love this project!! So cute & looks easy too. Bravo for trying this out. And I adore the color you used too. Found you from Kate's!ReplyDelete
WOW! I would have never believed you could get such clean lines with tape! Amazing...and now I have a new project in my "to try" file. Thanks!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 17, 2010 at 12:20 PM
I am in l-o-v-e with this project. If I may ask, what type of rug did you use? Was it wool or synthetic as I would think that would affect the dying process. But in any case, I am totally gaga for this project. Thank you.ReplyDelete
this is genius. i painted a black rug with white chevron stripes but it now feels painted. seriously, so smart. i would do it this way FOR SURE next time. thanks!ReplyDelete
It's cute that it kinda looks like grass stain color :)ReplyDelete
I too am wondering what type of rug you used -- wool or synthetic, and also how did you set the dye so it won't come off on feet, socks, etc. It is beautiful and has definitely sparked some creative nerves within me. :o)ReplyDelete
Thank you for going before us with this courageous project. I have thought of doing this myself and now thanks to you, will try it.ReplyDelete
What a fabulous idea. I'm not sure I would have had the nerve, but am totally impressed with the results.ReplyDelete
i'd like to try this. it seems like the results are much nicer than paint. good idea and thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Excellent idea you have here!ReplyDelete
What a brilliant idea! I so love how this turned out!ReplyDelete
FANTASTIC IDEA! That rug turned out absolutely wonderful! :) Great job!ReplyDelete
Hello again dear friend!ReplyDelete
Thanks for humoring me and linking up to my link party. ;)- I love ya!
A couple questions:ReplyDelete
What fiber type is your rug?
Has it faded or spread any yet, or might you expect it to?
I've wondered if this was possible. So glad someone tried it so I can see! Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
What type of fiber is the rug? I wouldn't imagine the dye working on polyesterReplyDelete

Chemical engineering job
Sophie James is an engineering facilities technician working for Pfizer, which is a research-based global pharmaceutical company. Sophie gained an HNC as part of her Apprenticeship and is now studying towards a Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
What is involved in your Chemical engineering job?
I work in the electrical and instrumentation departments maintaining site facilities across a diverse manufacturing plant. We also provide breakdown cover where necessary.
Do you have a typical day?
In engineering there is no typical day. One day, I could be taking a motor apart to find a fault in the effluent plant, which is a fairly dirty but straightforward job; the next day, I could be fitting a new instrument in the general ethical area, a hospital-like area where full-body cover must be worn to eliminate contamination. Or, I could be carrying out maintenance in the chemical area, a zoned area where all the equipment I use must be explosion proof. It all depends on what has to be done and where.
What type of equipment do you use?
I mainly use test equipment and special calibration or measurement instruments for testing pressure, temperature, humidity and flow. I also use hand tools, general craft equipment and computer equipment.
What training have you received?
I left school after the first year of my A levels and took up an Apprenticeship. The company then put me through all my training and qualifications.
When I was first employed by the company, I spent a year at college learning basic engineering techniques and how to work safely. On completion of my NVQ Level 2, I went to work on site whilst attending college one day a week to study for my HNC. I then went on to achieve my NVQ Level 3 whilst at work, and this completed my Apprenticeship.
Why did you choose this career in Chemical engineering?
I always enjoyed the sciences and mathematics, and I often found myself wondering how things worked. So it made sense for me to enter the field of engineering! Also, it's good to know that engineers will always be needed and the demand for work should never fall short.
What do you like best about your Chemical engineering job?
I really enjoy the challenges that come from being a female in this sort of job. The people are also great. It is a very male-dominated environment, but they do go out of their way to help me and they treat me as an equal.
What skills do you need for a career in Chemical engineering?
You must be level headed and focused on meeting targets and goals. Engineering is a practical subject, so you have to be someone who thinks logically and can rise to a challenge. This doesn't make the job any more difficult, just more exciting!
Sophie's route to her Chemical engineering job
- GCSEs.
- AS level maths.
- NVQ Level 2 in Engineering Manufacture.
- NVQ Level 3 in Engineering Maintenance.
- HNC in Engineering.
Sophie's Chemical engineering tips
- An Apprenticeship is an excellent route into the industry – you gain invaluable experience and training at all levels.
- As long as you work hard, there will be lots of opportunities to develop your career.
Chemical engineering related jobs
- Chemical engineer
- Chemical plant process worker
- Electrical engineering technician
- Electronic engineering technician
- Materials technician
- Oil and gas industry technician
Salary as a Chemical engineer
- New technicians typically start on a salary of around £12,000 a year.
- Experienced chemical engineering technicians may earn around £18,000.
- Fully qualified technicians can earn up to £30,000 a year.
Chemical engineering job
- A common entry route is to train with an employer as a technician apprentice.
- Most apprentices start at the age of 16 to 18 years, but it is possible to start an Apprenticeship up to the age of 25.
- Applicants generally need four GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3), including maths and science or technology, or the equivalent.
- Technicians learn from observing experienced colleagues, gradually taking on responsibility for areas of work under a reducing level of supervision.

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
Ah, Facebook. The place where you can reconnect with people you barely remember from high school. A few months ago, a Facebook acquaintance of mine posted a photo of her seven-year-old son playing "Call of Duty," the incredibly violent first-person-shooter video game.
Okay, look, my own rule when it comes to other parents' choices is "judge not lest ye be judged." But I have to admit that part of me was HORRIFIED that anyone would let a young child play a game so age-inappropriate as Call of Duty.
In fact, I'm kind of horrified that these games exist at all.
I know that one of the gifts under our tree this year is a Nerf semi-automatic suction dart-gun thing -- a gift to Oliver from a relative. I spent a long time trying to keep my son separated from toy guns, but then one day he started making them out of sticks anyway. And then he got his first Nerf gun (it's pretty fun to shoot those suction darts at the big window in our living room, I have to admit).
But those are toys made for kids his age, for the most part. He isn't pointing the suction darts at people (at least not while I'm watching, who know what goes on behind my back) or animals. He isn't shooting his Nerf guns with the intention of hurting or killing anything. He shoots them because aiming at a target is kinda fun.
Video games are another thing entirely. I'll come out and say it: I find those first-person-shooter games, like Call of Duty, really disturbing. Not only for kids, but for adults, too. (Fact: I would never let a guy who plays those games with any regularity put his P in my V.) I think they are weird and sick and needlessly aggressive.
You wanna kill zombies? Great. You wanna pretend you're Scarface and ride around Vice City in your pastel blazer listening to 80s music? Fine, who doesn't? With games like these, there's violence, sure, but there's also an element of fantasy that keeps things light and entertaining.
First-person-shooter games are based on bloodshed made to look as realistic as possible, so that the player can really get the true experience of killing another human being. I don't know, pretending you're at war, when there are real men and women and children dying in real wars right now, seems wrong to me.
Look, I don't really care what adults do, so long as it isn't hurting anyone else, even if I do think dudes who play those Black Ops games are missing an empathy chip in their brains. But kids are another matter -- they should NOT be playing these games.
In fact, research has proven a link between violent video games and aggression in children. Think about that for a minute. Think what must happen to a child's brain if he or she is regularly exposed to violent imagery, starting from a young age.
And it's not only video games. Last Friday, after I'd spent the entire day crying over the dead babies in Newtown, I had to pull it together because we had purchased tickets like a month ago to see "The Hobbit" with a group of friends (you guys, two of my friends wore Hobbit feet to the movie -- just wanted to put that out there).
Sitting there in the theater, I realized that even "The Hobbit," with its marketing tie-ins aimed at children (LEGO sets and games, anyone?), is a pretty dark and violent film, complete with fast-cut action sequences to demonic-looking goblins and Orcs. The actual, real-life violence that had gone down that day at an elementary school illuminated the imagined violence on the movie screen in front of me, and it made me feel really uncomfortable.
I've noticed for years that movies are more aggressive than they used to be. Even children's films like "Rise of the Guardians," which Oliver begged me to take him to see, have near-seizure-inducing action sequences where your eyes can barely focus, not to mention booming sound effects. The pace is faster, like one long music video. How can a kid's developing brain keep up with all this flashy imagery?
We've written on xoJane before about the age-inappropriate movies we were exposed to as kids. We all survived that, right? We didn't become angry and violent adults, did we? But I can tell you that movies are different now. For example, where once we had "E.T.," which appealed to kids, even if it was not made specifically for kids, now we have "Pacific Rim," which also appeals to kids, even though it isn't made for kids (I mean, giant battling robots, come on).
Compare the trailer for 1982's "E.T.":
To the trailer for 2013's "Pacific Rim":
See the difference? I realize this is all very abstract, and I'm certainly no expert on the psychological effects of violent imagery on children. But I am a parent who has noticed a decidedly aggressive shift in tone with respect to what we consider entertaining these days, and I don't like what I see.*
In the wake of the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, I wonder how many parents are reconsidering the appropriateness of giving their children violent toys and games. This mom over at The Atlantic certainly is. And I feel a little bit uncomfortable that my kid is going to unwrap a candy-colored, semi-automatic Nerf gun on Christmas morning.
Edited to add: I want to note here, after the NRA's joke of a news conference, that I do not think that violent imagery is where we should place the blame for the tragedy in Newtown. While it makes me uncomfortable, and I think we could all benefit from less violence in our entertainment, especially the stuff we show to our kids, it is completely irresponsible to lay the blame on any one thing, whether that thing is violent video games, guns, or mental illness. Solving the problem of gun violence is going to require a multi-faceted approach. Oh yeah, and I have a few ideas of where the NRA can shove its news conference. -- Love, Somer

At last – Spring has arrived
Blossom on the trees, cool crisp days, daffodils standing proud. My favourite time of the year.
As soon as I heard that this month's We Should Cocoa challenge involved cooking with coconut I knew I wanted to try out this chocolate coconut mousse. I have come across it many times on the internet but have never got round to trying it out. It didn't disappoint! It is thick and creamy with just the slightest hint of coconut. It is quick and easy to make. No raw eggs to worry about. Just delicious.
I have added 100g of dark chocolate which gives a very strong chocolate flavour. You may want to start with a bit less and add more to suit your taste. It is also very rich so only a small amount is needed. I love the contrast of hard chocolate with the creamy mousse so I served mine in chocolate cases which I made by coating silicone cupcake cases in melted chocolate. I also made small chocolate cones and filled them with the mousse which I think was just about the right serving size. The mousse does firm up quite a bit if left in the fridge so I think I would only pipe into my serving dishes just before serving. That way you can give it a quick stir to loosen up before piping.
- 250ml coconut cream (chilled)
- 1 tblsp caster sugar
- 100g good quality dark chocolate
- Using a whisk beat the coconut cream and sugar together for a couple of minutes until smooth and thick.
- Melt the chocolate carefully over a pan of boiling water or in the microwave.
- Add the melted chocolate to the coconut cream and continue to whisk for another couple of minutes.
- Spoon or pipe into small serving dishes and refrigerate until ready to serve.
You do need to ensure that your coconut cream is chilled before starting. I store mine in the refrigerator so that it is ready chilled. Coconut milk will not work in this recipe - it needs to be the much thicker coconut cream.
This is another entry for the fabulous We Should Cocoa challenge which is cooking with chocolate and coconut this month. This month's challenge is being hosted by Laura over at I'd Much Rather Bake Than …
I am also submitting this recipe to A Mummy Too's Recipe of the Week link up.
