Our download system allowed for entries to be downloaded without putting any strain on the website, and other than a minor server issue, at no point did the site go down during the week. No off-site links will be permitted again. Please see the 2022 trailer as an example, which was created by Blue Vivacity, filling in for redhotsonic who was unavailable that year, whose 2021 trailer can be found here.Īs per last year, all entries will be uploaded to the site. Please stay tuned for information on how to submit for the trailer, who will be making this year's trailer, and when to do this. Like with previous years, there will be a Contest Week trailer. ![]() If you have an established platform with a good audience that can help out with this, do contact us. We experimented with more Non-English streams in 2022 and the door remains open to expand this with more languages. Therefore, if you are a content creator and we think you would be a great fit to our lineup, we will contact you to invite you on board, however please understand that we do not have the capacity for every person out there. The Media Panel is a stacked lineup that continues from previous years of the Contest Week, as a result it can be hard for us to open stream space to more people as we do not want to overlap other streams unless we have no choice. We'll also have news coverage much like last year. In addition to streaming, there will also be dedicated YouTube uploads of games being played too, the Media Panel is not just for streamers. If you want to show it off to the biggest audience possible, the Contest Week is your best time for it.Īs before, we'll have an extensive list of streamers playing the entries during the Contest Week - these will be announced closer to the time of the Contest when they have been finalised. If you're planning to debut your submission to the public you can do it then, however nobody can be stopped from releasing earlier. Like the last few years, the public will have a chance to view this year's entries, download the hacks and vote for Community Trophies which are only applicable to Contest entries. They can also try Time Attacking, or finding the ten hidden Chao in the levels.We considered the possibility of moving SHC outwith the middle of October but have decided to keep it as the most suitable week. In this single player mode, players can choose any one of the eight characters and play through the zones in traditional 2D Sonic fashion. The game introduces a new mode called Free Play. The characters are divided into four teams (Sonic and Tails, Shadow and Metal Sonic, Silver and Espio, Knuckles and Rouge) and each character has their own story. Each zone has three acts and a boss, with the exception of the final zone. ![]() Players will go through each of the game’s battle modes and levels to advance the plot. Story Mode is the main single player mode. Sonic Rivals 2 has four main Single Player modes. With three new characters, 12 new stages and upgraded signature moves for each character, the enhanced Rivals experience will bring a whole new level of handheld fun to the PSP system. This sequel to Sonic’s 2D action platformer features all-new “jostling” controls for tighter competition and a brand new Battle mode that allows two players to jump into six different Multiplayer challenges by sharing one disc. The gloves are off and Sonic and his rivals are gearing up for an intense new head-to-head competition exclusively on the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. ![]() ![]() ![]() While he’s “open to having the discussion” about better incorporating horse racing into sports gaming, he’s not sure what more the state can do. By comparison, the legal sports betting market produced a handle of $93.2 billion last year, according to the American Gaming Association. horseplayers wagered $12.1 billion in 2022. He said the gambling industries may “cannibalize” one another.Īccording to The Jockey Club, U.S. Seitz admitted that sports gambling has the potential to hurt horse racing. Those farms, which pay property taxes, rely on horses for boarding or breeding as well.” “And each of these horses has a mother and father who aren’t racing, so they’re living on a farm in a rural part of the state. They need shoes, and vets and dentists,” he added. That’s so not what this industry is about,” said Annechino, who bought his first horse in 1981. “People think of horse racing and picture a bunch of old guys with cigars making bets in a dark room. He called his sport an important part of Ohio’s economy. One of Annechino’s greatest fears is the potential wide-reaching effects taking money away from horse racing would have on several industries, particularly in rural communities - veterinarians, breeders, farmers, etc. The goal, Seitz said, was to attract “superior quality of horse” to Ohio’s eight total racetracks.Īnnechino described that action by Ohio legislators as an acknowledgment that the new gambling options would take money away from the sport. The state constitutional amendment directed 3% of all casino tax revenue to the Ohio State Racing Commission for race purses and day-to-day operations. Racinos are horse tracks that have video lottery terminals or slot machines. No consideration was given to horse racing in Ohio's legislation because of a previous decision to use 3% of casino tax revenue to race purses and track operations. He said the state’s horse tracks and horsemen already received a “very generous” chunk of casino tax revenue when the state legalized racinos in 2009. Seitz admitted there was no specific consideration given to horse racing in the gambling bill. “There is no point in losing revenue to neighboring states.” “Ohio needed sports gambling because there is a tremendous appetite for sports gambling and because many of the states surrounding us already adopted it,” Seitz added. The remaining 2% goes to addressing gambling addictions. Almost all that money goes to K-12 education and athletics and other extracurriculars. The Sports Gaming Profits Education Fund receives 10% of all money wagered on sports and additional money from certain licensing fees. The longtime politician specifically referenced “how much additional money the state has generated” for schools and youth athletics in just the first few months. “I am very pleased with the sports gambling rollout,” said Seitz, the House’s majority floor leader. Jay Edwards, District 94-Nelsonville, and Bill Seitz, District 30-Cincinnati. Kirk Schuring, District 29-Canton, and State Reps. The push to legalize sports gambling in Ohio was led by State Sen. ![]() “I just wish there was a little bit more recognition of how they really will impact things like horse racing, and we could have gotten something from that.” ‘No consideration’ of horse racing in Ohio’s sports betting law It’s part of our culture now,” he continued. “We knew sports betting was coming, but we felt that horse racing should have got a piece of the sports betting pie,” Annechino said. “Sports gambling can’t help but have at least a little negative impact on racing.”īased in northeast Ohio, Annechino’s 15 horses race at all three thoroughbred tracks across the state, including Belterra Park, a turf course on the east side of Cincinnati. “If somebody bets $10 on the Browns or the Bengals, that’s $10 less they have to bet on a horse,” he added. The group advocates on topics ranging from breeding rules and training and track conditions to the races. “There’s only so much money people have to bet,” said Annechino, executive director of the Ohio Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association. That number is up from 18 last year.įrom January until March, bettors wagered $2.5 billion on sports in Ohio, with more than $2.4 billion being done online or via a mobile app, according to a report from the Ohio Casino Control Commission. Ohio and 25 other states have also legalized mobile sports betting. 1, 2023, Ohio became one of 36 states and Washington, D.C., to legalize sports betting in some capacity. But with the emergence of sports gambling, Annechino’s fear is those numbers could run a different direction in the future. The betting action follows a trend in recent years that shows more money being injected into purses and betting. Wagering on sports became legal in Ohio on Jan. ![]() ![]() ![]() RELEASE Collaborators Brady MC, Ali M, VandenBerg K, Williams LJ, Williams LR, Abo M, Becker F, Bowen A, Brandenburg C, Breitenstein C, Bruehl S, Copland DA, Cranfill TB, Pietro-Bachmann MD, Enderby P, Fillingham J, Lucia Galli F, Gandolfi M, Glize B, Godecke E, Hawkins N, Hilari K, Hinckley J, Horton S, Howard D, Jaecks P, Jefferies E, Jesus LM, Kambanaros M, Kyoung Kang E, Khedr EM, Pak-Hin Kong A, Kukkonen T, Laganaro M, Lambon Ralph MA, Charlotte Laska A, Leemann B, Leff AP, Lima RR, Lorenz A, MacWhinney B, Shisler Marshall R, Mattioli F, Maviş İ, Meinzer M, Nilipour R, Noé E, Paik NJ, Palmer R, Papathanasiou I, Patricio B, Pavão Martins I, Price C, Prizl Jakovac T, Rochon E, Rose ML, Rosso C, Rubi-Fessen I, Ruiter MB, Snell C, Stahl B, Szaflarski JP, Thomas SA, van de Sandt-Koenderman M, van der Meulen I, Visch-Brink E, Worrall L, Harris Wright H. Larger sample size studies are needed to further examine the influence of intensity on improvements in auditory comprehension. Group AR may be helpful in this area (Hawkins, 2006). Communication skills training may range from improving articulation to managing conversation. Pulls analytic targets into functional practice to address the use of strategies in real-world situations. Preliminary results suggest that some people with severe chronic aphasia can tolerate an intensive auditory comprehension treatment and demonstrate improvements in high-frequency, word-level response accuracy with large effect sizes suggesting generalization to untrained stimuli.Īn intensive auditory comprehension treatment protocol can contribute to improvements in response accuracy for some people with severe aphasia. Includes all areas of auditory comprehension. A high-frequency, word-picture verification treatment was administered 2 hr/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks and required participants to match the spoken word of the examiner to a picture representing an object. This single-case ABA design study included 2 participants with chronic, severe auditory comprehension deficits secondary to stroke. Research questions: (a) Can people with severe aphasia tolerate an intensive comprehension treatment? (b) Does an intensive intervention increase auditory comprehension response accuracy of spoken high-frequency words? Our purpose was to examine the feasibility and influence of a high-intensity word-picture verification treatment on high-frequency, word response accuracy. ![]() Studies examining intensive rehabilitative treatments for severe single-word auditory comprehension impairments are needed. For example, prognosis for rehabilitation. Also, very few studies have investigated recovery beyond the first year post-stroke. Severe auditory comprehension deficits associated with aphasia can impact all aspects of a persons life. Severe auditory comprehension impairments secondary to aphasia can adversely influence rehabilitative outcomes and quality of life. Auditory comprehension is often negatively impacted in stroke-related aphasia, but prior recovery studies of aphasia have typically focused on broad measures, such as overall aphasia severity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() EmbyĮmby is another great alternative to centrally manage all your media files and then watch them using the front-end application.Įmby organizes your media files so that it never takes more than a few clicks to find the latest movie or TV show. Since releasing Windows 10, Microsoft has left WMC to fade away, so many people need to transition to new media center software. Windows Media Center has been a favorite choice especially for those who enjoy watching and recording live TV. There is nothing too technical about Windows Media Center and it plays most media formats out there. It used to be the most mainstream media center thanks to Microsoft’s advertisement and bundling efforts. Windows Media Center is one of the few media centers that will allow you to integrate a Blu-ray player into the interface. However, it is still great media center software for beginners (and for advanced users) who wish to, for example, get live TV working easily. Windows Media Center is no longer included in Windows 10, so you’ll be able to use it only in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 Plex has a built-in live TV and DVR server, so you can also record and watch live TV with it.Ĭlick here for a complete guide to Plex Media Server. For example, you can start watching a TV program with your HTPC in the living room and then continue watching it on your iPad elsewhere. This way, TV shows will play smoothly on your mobile phone or your iPad over a wireless network.Īnother great feature of the Plex is that you can continue the video file from where you left off on any device. Plex Media Server has the ability to transcode your TV recordings, depending on your device and network. Plex’s strengths are in finding all your movie and music metadata without any problem. There are also mobile front-end apps available. In addition to its own front-end software, Plex Media Player, the back-end server application is compatible with many other front-ends like Kodi. Plex Media Server is a back-end application for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X-based computers that is great for streaming media files across your home network. To get started, read how to customize it with all the bells and whistles. There are several add-ons available, which allow you to truly customize your media experience. However, you can customize the interface with skins that you can download online. The user interface looks elegant even without any customization. It is a powerful entertainment center for Windows, Linux, Android and Mac OS X that is capable of playing most available media file types. Kodi was originally designed as a media center interface for the Xbox game console. I’ve tested all available media center front-ends and I think Kodi (was XBMC) is clearly the best, but it is not the easiest to set up to make it user-friendly. This top 10 list will simplify your task by highlighting the most popular HTPC software. The benefit of using a media center software is that you will get an appliance look and feel that is user-friendly. ![]() ![]() Notice different clutch covers, different mufflers, etc. My bike has some differences from the brochures, yet my parts list for "69 models shows what was available. The fancy bikes sometimes have reproduction parts made to match what the brochures showed on a sales model, but bikes actually sold were sometimes different. What makes a CR -410 different? You don't know unless you have an original brochure that says what it has that makes it different. These bikes are not with their first owner, and how does one know what is original or correct unless they are the original owner, built or sold them, or had one way back when. One must realize that many of these bikes have obviously been restored and have some reporduction parts. The other difference I have noticed is with the sprocket diameter, number of teeth, differences in the brake assembly, added chain tesioners, and the throttle and hand brake parts suppliers.Īs for the other pictures posted in this discussion. But that tire shows up on all the other mini choppers with the jackshaft frame You can see it in the before restoration, second photo below. The second bike came with a different tread 530圆 Carlisle tire than my first mini chopper. The wear pattern is definitely that of a Tecumseh HS 40. It is not a flat plate welded on top of the tubes. The motor mount plate is different than my first bike. It does not seem to have a serial number that I can find. It has no red round Bonanza emblem nor does it have holes to mount one. It has the Jack shaft brackets and brake cable tabs on both sides. I bought another mini chopper to restore for my boy. I haven't found a serial number on the frame. No, it never had a bonanza red round plate with serial number. No, my bike is not exactly like the brochures and parts list that I still have, but i is exactly how it was purchased from a line of mini choppers at the Harley Dealer where it was bought in 1970. Yes, I put the STP stickers on the engine when I was 12. yes, some of the chrome is new and the paint is Duplicolor Chevy Orange engine paint. yes the motor plate was rewelded in 1972. I have owned my Scout CR 400 (made by Bonanza) since 1970. OK, there are at least two distinct series of frames for the Bonanza mini chopper. My avatar picture is the chopper I've had since 1970. Here's a picture of my second chopper with my spare seat. The exact reproduction seats are quite expensive. Even a bare fiberglass pan is hard to come by to have recovered. I have an extra used seat in fair condition if you need one. I'd use the rear wheel that you've got, but you could use almost anything up front till you can get a kidney bean wheel. Also Bonanzamini makes reproduction parts but are pricey, but excellent. There's a guy on this site who makes reproduction Bonanza brake drum sprockets and ones that will fit the Azusa Astro wheels if you want the "Torque Thrust" style wheel. All frames came with the little box shape flat bar mount near the headstock of the frame. The tanks were 4 X 7 and were the shorter of the two that Bonanza made. The cylindrical gas tank was an option for the Tecumseh powered model. Look at your engine mounting plate for the wear pattern where the engine would be, even under recent paint, this will tell you if yours was a Hodaka powered or Tecumseh powered bike and which model it would be called. Because the Hodaka uses the jackshaft with the wheel sprocket on the opposite side from the Tecumseh rear wheel set up, they had to be able to set the brake up on either side, hence the cable bracket on both sides. But I think all the frames eventually were made this way, and the Tecumseh powered CR400 version didn't use the jackshaft. Soft is best.Congrats on your frame! Bonanza changed the frame a little bit, adding the jackshaft mounts and adding additional slotted holes to allow for the Hodaka engine. If you only ride casually on Sundays does the tire matter? If your bike is transportation, or you push the cornering, safety first. To feel those old days, the look of the tread is just as important as the rest. Anything but a new radial might have been suicide. I had an old Yamaha with such a stiff tire in the front I couldn't tell when it was flat, even when squeezing it. ![]() They'll slip on anything but a clean dry road surface. The tread will resist thumbnail compression. If you collapses the edge of the tread with your thumbnail it's a soft tire that is going to stick even when it's wet. On the inside, radials ride better than bias, but I think the real difference is the rubber. ![]() I didn't have a bike back then (70s) but the bikes around town really burned a desire in me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Truly no two adventures will be the same with the archipelagos procedurally generated every time a new adventure begins.

This was fascinating-but also unveiled a flaw with some of the new-style jump starters. Once the battery discharged fully, we hooked up each unit and tried them out.īecause the car battery was drained each time we hooked a jumper to it, some of the portable jump starters would read the connection as a "reverse polarity" error (we hooked it up correctly, we promise). This was very handy-we didn't have to discharge the battery manually after each jump. The car's battery was so shot that, during testing, we watched its juice discharge between each test with our voltmeter. We wheeled the ice-cold Eclipse into the Car and Driver garage and got to work. It took plenty of dash tapping, "C'mon, baby!"s and some dainty gas pedal footwork to get it started for the first time in months, but it worked. We located one in a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX that worked perfectly. ![]() To properly test these jump starters, we looked for a vehicle with a truly dead battery. The Car and Driver fleet doesn't consist of just brand new cars-there's a good group of clunkers out back that have been acquired over the years. If the portable jump starter is unable to sustain high amperage for 30 seconds to meet the standards of CA and CCA, the sustained amperage output is called "Starting Amps" or something similar.įiguring out the specs you need with these numbers can be very helpful in narrowing down which portable jump starter to buy. You'll want a jump starter with a CA and CCA rating near (ideally above) that respective number, which is usually around 400–500 for your average passenger vehicle. Your vehicle's battery also has CA and CCA ratings, typically located on the top. For those of us that live in cold climates, the CCA rating is especially crucial. CA measures this at 32 degrees F, while CCA measures this at 0 degrees F. The higher the number the more jump starts a unit will be able to do before needing a recharge.Ĭranking Amps (CA) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): CA and CCA measure much lower than the peak amperage rating because they measure continuous power over 30 seconds. It just won't deliver as many jump-starts as a fully-charged device.Įnergy (Wh): The total energy that can be stored in a unit, measured in watt-hours (Wh), indicates how much juice a unit can ultimately output. In other words, a half-charged jump starter will deliver the same power, every time, until it's drained. Most of them can only deliver high amperage for somewhere between two and five seconds, followed by a power cut rather than 30 seconds of sustained amperage.Īdditionally, we reached out to the experts at Batteries Plus for some more clarification, and they said jump starters will typically list an approximate number of starts the fully charged device can complete until it needs to be recharged. However, portable jump starters with lithium-ion batteries cannot deliver high amperage for very long due to the risk of thermal runaway-a phenomenon that causes lithium-ion battery cells to go into an uncontrollable, self-heating state, which can result in fire. For units powered by lead-acid batteries, peak amperage is an initial jolt of power that the device delivers, typically for 20-50 milliseconds, followed by 30 seconds of sustained amperage, which is categorized as Cranking Amps (CA) or Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), depending on the temperature. The higher the peak amperage rating, the more powerful a jump starter is (at least initially). Peak Amperage (Current): This is the figure most manufacturers boast loudest about-but it doesn't necessarily mean bigger is better. If you have a fleet of vehicles that need some help waking up in the morning, get a portable power station.īut how much power does your portable jump starter need for your vehicle? It can be confusing trying to decide with all of the numbers and power ratings out there, such as peak amperage, amp hours, cranking amps, and so on. If you just want one to keep in the car in case of an emergency, get a portable jump starter. The question of which kind you need depends on how you'll be using it. Portable jump starters are small and easy to store in your trunk (or even glovebox), while portable power stations can be kept in the garage for repeated use. There are two basic types of car jump starters: portable jump starters and portable power stations. Show more Things to Consider When Shopping for a Jump Starter ![]() |
