![]() What are the possible difficulties I will have when connecting the VPC1 to a computer + pianoteq? (In the beginning, she will play though good-quality headphones she already owns) For what I read quickly on this forum, pianoteq does not seem to require a lot of computational power, but the real requirements (not the minimal ones) in order to run it without to much latency and “forgotten notes” are not clear to me. But as there is no way to try one out there and as I have a very poor experience in midi controllers, please allow me to ask few newbie questions.įirst a silly question since it is written in the pianoteq’s homepage : can it be run standalone ? No need for a DAW ? More seriously, running standalone probably requires less computational power and so is more efficient, isn't it ?Īs I guess that many of you are advanced (classical) players on this forum, do you think it is a silly idea to buy a VPC1+pianoteq in the context I described above ? If you have any feedback regarding this configuration, I’ll read yours with great attention. But we are budget-limited and then, I logically find Kawai’s VPC1 as being a good alternative. And the ones she prefers by far are Kawai’s grand feel but also RM3 grand (on a used MP10). After she had tried many digital pianos in our neighborhood, the only actions that she really likes are those with wooden keys (excepted yamaha’s NWX). She really wants to improve her playing and also expressiveness (that’s very important to her ). So, what I want to get is a mean for her to play in her small bedroom, as silently as possible with a keyboard as close as possible to the action of a real acoustic so that she can efficiently practice. We already have an acoustic piano at home but she cannot play it as often as she wants for several reasons which are out of the scope of this post. She’s playing at an intermediate level mainly classical stuffs like Chopin’s Waltz, Bach’s well tempered clavier (only the 3 voice pieces for now). Let me add that I am not the one concerned but I am acting on behalf of my teen daughter And my questions for now still focus on buying one and the reason why I am here is because I’ll certainly use pianoteq as it looks like a very good option for a realistic piano experience. ![]() I am a pre-newbie !

![]() ![]() At the end of the day, it's a game and it's an enjoyable game and that's what it should be for them. So they shouldn't feel the pressure of feeling like it's do or die or win or lose and that's it. But I think the bigger picture is for the adults that are around to make sure and understand that these kids are not professionals. I was speaking to children when I was doing that interview because I wanted them to really take that in and understand that. A lot of times we can be the ones who are putting so much pressure on the child, putting that into the child's mind. I think that's when parents and the adults surrounding kids come into play. How can kids do that when there's so much pressure on them to focus so intensely on just one thing like basketball? Something you say in the film is that it's important for kids to enjoy the game and not let it become a job. So I think it's up to the parent to pay attention to that. Is this a positive or a negative? I think every child is different. ![]() I think it's very important that you gauge and pay attention to your child's mental growth as well as how they're dealing with playing competitive sports. I don't think you can just place your child in a situation like that and just let them be. I think it's really important that parents are involved. You know, I think with anything, you've got to weigh the pros and the cons. It seems like it's grown so much.ĭo you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that kids who are maybe, like, 10, 11 years old are facing such a competitive environment at an age when they should maybe be focused on developing their game? I think the biggest way it's changed is just it's huge now. Yeah, I was going to say, it's just so big now. How has AAU changed or grown since you played? It seems like it's gotten pretty big. And then all of a sudden playing on the AAU team where all of a sudden I was playing against top players in Florida and Chicago and in New York and hearing about all these other incredible teams. I think I realized the game and basketball world was much bigger than what I envisioned, especially at that age where it was just the local talent and you played at the local rec center. How did you change as a player and as a person going through the AAU experience? ![]() My AAU team kind of broke down a lot of barriers for me. It was my first time ever getting on a plane. Being that age, being so innocent, strictly being about basketball, being able to travel with your teammates. Dealing with the practices, the competition, traveling, everybody getting in that van and going to fast food restaurants and stuff like that in between games and playing three, four games a day, definitely sparked a lot of memories.ĭo you have a favorite memory from your days playing AAU ball? And I felt that, especially watching the team and watching youngsters go through the struggles and the ups and downs and everything that's involved with it, I thought it would be a great education for parents who were thinking about putting their child in AAU or any other sport.ĭid watching it bring up any memories of when you played as a kid? There's a lot of positives surrounding it, and there can also be some negatives. Why did you think AAU was something important to be spotlighted? It was presented to me when I was in New York, and I watched a little of it and I thought it was an incredible idea to spotlight youth sports and especially the AAU world. How did you get involved with this documentary? But for our November NBA Preview issue, SI KIDS spoke with Chandler about the movie and his AAU experience. Little Ballers will premiere on the NickSports Block on Nicktoons during the All-Star Break. Along the way we meet the talented fifth graders on the squad and hear pros like the Thunder's Russell Westbrook, Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, and Tyson Chandler of the Mavericks talk about their days playing AAU ball. The new documentary Little Ballers follows a New York team as it competes at the AAU National Championships. during the NickSports block on Nicktoons.

If you want to be featured in ‘Readers’ Pain Cave’, send us your submission direct to and your ‘special place could be featured in all its glory here on PEZ. Thanks to Leslie for kicking off the ‘The Pain Cave’ section with us. To say nothing of an immediate cold beer after the ride! Not since Matt Hayman won Paris-Roubaix in 2016 after training extensively indoors after an injury is there any doubt as to the benefits of indoor training, where a controlled environment can get you the most benefit in the least time. I also find that music is important and have a huge collection of 2000s trance music–something I admit I would never listen to except during rides! Additional motivation comes from posters and framed jerseys, my library of cycling-related books, and even my small collection of participation medals and race passes as reminders of memorable experiences. I am fortunate to have sufficient space for the bike, trainer and television, the last being really key to an immersive experience to get the maximum benefit of any indoor ride with visuals. The downside is that it is never as good as riding outdoors with friends when a four hour ride can just fly by-four hours of uninterrupted indoor training by yourself is very very hard.Ī good arrangement for a Pain Cave is key to making indoor training work well. When it feels like -29C outside, as it did here earlier this week, I take great pleasure in riding in the Swiss Alps in the sunshine in my comfortable Pain Cave, where cold drinks are within easy reach, getting an excellent workout and making efficient use of my training time. Just be sure to have those fans turning and an open window if possible… Getting the most out of indoor training requires a degree of self-discipline and a positive outlook but there is no question it eventually brings results. Every year I look forward to a virtual charity ride, the Tour of Sufferlandria, and the entertaining comments of fellow participants on social media. Motivation is key to indoor training and I find today’s apps compared to the simple videos of the past far more engaging. I use The Sufferfest training plan library often but also just like freestyle cycling on Rouvy for places where I would actually like to ride some day. What do you do on your trainer? Just ride or a set-out training plan? I have also lived in urban centres in the United States and Europe where indoor training was more efficient and safer than getting out in traffic during the week. ![]() Living in Ottawa as I do the outdoor cycling season is limited, realistically, to six months of the year. I also enjoy riding to videos found on YouTube, available on channels such as Bike the World or Indoor Cycling Videos. ![]() Although Rouvy requires me to race from time to time to move up in level, I am not particularly interested in e-racing. As well, I regularly use Rouvy because I like riding in real scenery (well, real virtual scenery, I guess). I have used The Sufferfest for over a decade and seen it evolve from simple videos to the current app with comprehensive training plans.

Tata Motors Safari Storme 2 Vx 4x4 Official Video, Road Test, Crash Test, First Drive, Video Reviews. Tata Motors had won the contract to replace the armed forces' ageing fleet of Maruti Gypsys last year and will supply 3,192 units of the Storme in the coming years. This Army-spec Safari Storme will be an upgrade from the Army's earlier fleet of Gypsys by providing better payload capacity while still matching that car's off-road credentials. The army-spec cars come with a six-speed manual and a four-wheel drive system with a low range box. The 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel motor (154PS/400Nm) is carried over, possibly with some changes to better suit the army's needs. There are minimal mechanical changes to the car with better underbody protection and heavy-duty suspension being the only additions. ![]() The interiors seem similar to the dual tone set-up of the civilian version. All these changes have been made for the sake of camouflage and to better conceal the car in wartime situations. Additions include a rear trailer hook, a jerry can/canister mount on the rear fenders, a bonnet-mounted antenna and special blacked-out lamps on the front and the rear bumpers. All the chrome bits of the standard car have also been painted over, including the wheels and badging. The exterior of the Army-spec Safari Storme is painted in matte green. As long as the donor battery has adequate capacity to take the load, electrons are saying they'll do the workĬheck out BHPian comments for more insights and information.Images have appeared on the internet of the Indian Army-spec Tata Safari Storme 4X4 being shipped to a delivery location. Speaking purely from an electrical circuit perspective - I don't see why jumpstarting the Storme would be a challenge if battery is the issue. Here's what BHPian ph03n!x had to say on the matter: Buy Tata Safari Storme VX 4x4 car tyres online, compare prices, find your tyre size, pressure, warranty options etc for all major tyre brands in India. In other words, if the battery goes dead, then we need to either charge that battery outside and put it back in or place a good battery in the vehicle to make it start. *Btw is it correct that the Storme cannot be jump-started - the battery in the vehicle must be good. So fingers crossed that the problem does not occur again. The starter motor did not have any powder/residue on the surface either. He also checked the battery for voltage levels, and it looks good. Came home and checked it again after some time. We tried starting a few times there, and it worked fine. The problem noticed in my Storme was that it has a clip-type connector. At the starter motor end, there are two types of connectors on this cable: a clip or a regular nut to hold the cable down. However, the culprit turned out to be a loose clip on the cable connecting the battery to the starter motor. We managed a push start and then I went directly to TASS. The Amaron battery showed a health status of green, and the cells looked to have a full level of water in them, despite the 2 years of use. The person came after an hour, and we tried to jump-start by connecting the spare battery using the jump cables.

However, on cranking, there is no sound that one would hear from the starter motor. The electricals looked ok - the Stereo and power windows both work. Thanks a ton to all the other motorists who realized there is a problem, and let me move across from the right side to the left. Tried to start, but when it didn't, I let the Storme move forward on the sloping road, and managed to bring it to the left side before starting the problem-solving process.

Who Really Won and Lost the Biggest Trades of the NFL Offseason? Week 10 NFL Picks Against the Spread It’s a transition that shocks the people who have seen it firsthand. Germany is now home to Europe’s largest NFL fan base, and most of those fans know what “third-and-10” means. German football has come a long way in the 20 years since. Still, Vollmer fell in love with America’s sport. “I remember talking to my center, like, ‘You keep saying that! I don’t know what that means!’” “Two years in, I was playing in Germany, and people kept talking about ‘third-and-10,’” Vollmer remembers. While Americans soak up football knowledge simply by existing in a country where it is the most popular sport, Vollmer still had gaps in his understanding of the foreign game. He sought out whatever scraps of football information he could find in Dusseldorf: “Bootleg” VHS tapes of what he described as “highlight hits,” and articles about American football tucked inside German sports magazines. “I had a football body,” Vollmer says, “not a Speedo body.” He was drawn to “the teamwork, the hard work,” and in football, found a sense of communal accomplishment he never felt in an individual sport. He made sense on the gridiron, where he could simply obliterate the smaller people (which was pretty much everybody) rather than try to outswim them. He quickly became hooked by this strange sport he’d never seen before. Nobody even suggested American football to Vollmer until he was 14. But in Germany in the 1990s, American football was still a niche sport, so they sent the big kid to the pool. Here in the United States, people would’ve looked at Vollmer, seen this massive, sturdy frame on a child, and pictured a future offensive lineman.
