Apparently OreImo S2 is going to animate all the remaining novels, including the last one that is released sometime in Spring, would be nice to have the anime end at the same point as the LNs. If true, that would also mean the second season will be 24-26 episodes.
EDIT: In other news, Loli Basketball is airing in Summer, which I'm watching purely for the basketball aspect, honest.....

Hold on... if this percentage was correct at the time of print, that means the actual percentage of false information is less than 100% if this signature is included. Which means that... no! I've become a slave to the system!!

That movie is going to be amazing, the only downside is that, like every other anime movie, we're going to have to wait 6+ months for BDs.
EDIT: News on a possible VN adaptation of Angel Beats to come some time before Summer. A VN of Angel Beats would be amazing, we would actually get to see the back stories of all the characters in full.
Spoiler:- Then there's also the fact:

Kanye West, HBO sitcom star? It almost happened. Long before the notorious moment he grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards or celebrated the birth of his daughter with reality-TV scion Kim Kardashian the hip-hop icon headlined a comedy pilot from Curb Your Enthusiasm executive producer Larry Charles.
The sitcom was shot in 2007 but quickly fell by the wayside after an executive shuffle at HBO. Later that year, West's mother, Donda, died, and the superstar departed on a global concert tour, leaving the TV project behind. It was all a distant memory until this summer, when clips from the pilot started popping up — first on YouTube, and then at a comedy show in Brooklyn, where a bootleg copy of the entire episode was screened.

NFL roundup: Texans, Cowboys survive
New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (29) celebrates with teammates including quarterback Mark Sanchez (6) and guard Matt Slauson (68) after scoring a touchdown against the St. Louis Rams during the fourth quarter of their NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012, in St. Louis. The Jets won 27-13. (AP Photo/St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Chris Lee) EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER OUT; THE ALTON TELEGRAPH OUT |
HOUSTON — Andre Johnson caught a screen pass from Matt Schaub and ran 48 yards for the winning touchdown in overtime as the Houston Texans rallied to beat Jacksonville 43-37 on Sunday.
Schaub threw a career-high five touchdown passes, completed a franchise-record 43 passes and finished with 527 yards passing, second most in NFL history. Warren Moon also threw for 527 yards for the Houston Oilers in December 1990 against Kansas City.
Norm Van Brocklin holds the record with 554 for the Rams in 1951.
Johnson caught 14 passes for 273 yards, both career highs. The Texans (9-1) won an overtime game for the first time at Reliant Stadium.
Chad Henne threw a career-high four touchdown passes in relief of injured Blaine Gabbert for the Jaguars (1-9). Rookie Justin Blackmon had 236 yards receiving.
ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Ryan overcame a career-worst five interceptions, guiding Atlanta to its only offensive touchdown in the fourth quarter in a sloppy win.
The Falcons (9-1) turned it over a total of six times, but Michael Turner scored on a 1-yard run with 6:40 remaining to give Atlanta its first lead of the game. Ryan set up the score with four completions for 64 yards, including a 9-yarder to Tony Gonzalez on third-and-5 at the Arizona 10.
Coming off a bye, Arizona (4-6) lost its sixth straight game. The Cardinals tried to bolster their anemic offense by switching quarterbacks, replacing John Skelton with rookie Ryan Lindley, but Larry Fitzgerald couldn't hang on to a fourth-down pass after Ryan's fifth pick.
DETROIT (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes, including a 22-yarder to Randall Cobb with 1:55 left to lift Green Bay.
Mason Crosby made a 39-yard field goal with 19 seconds to go after missing two field goals earlier in the game.
Matthew Stafford couldn't put the Lions ahead on either of their last two drives in a game he'd like to forget.
Stafford threw two interceptions — one of which was returned 72 yards by Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings for a go-ahead score in the third quarter — and lost a fumble.
Green Bay (7-3) has won five straight and Detroit (4-6) has dropped two in a row.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dan Bailey kicked a 38-yard field goal in overtime and Dallas overcame a critical fumble by Tony Romo that sparked a wild ending.
Bailey's winning kick with 6:07 remaining in OT came after both teams punted once in the first overtime game at Cowboys Stadium. Bailey hit a tying 32-yard field goal with 2 seconds left in regulation.
Dallas (5-5) rallied from a 13-0 halftime deficit and went ahead 17-13 on Romo's 28-yard pass to Dez Bryant.
A fumble by Browns rookie Brandon Weeden on a sack appeared to put the Cowboys in control, but Romo gave it right back with a fumble on another sack.
The Cowboys made one goal-line stand in the final minutes, but the Browns got another chance and went ahead 20-17 on Weeden's 17-yard pass to Benjamin Watson.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Josh Freeman threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Clark in overtime to cap a comeback.
It was Freeman's third touchdown pass of the game for the Buccaneers (6-4).
Carolina appeared to have the game in hand after a 29-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton to Brandon LaFell put the Panthers (2-8) up 21-10 with 4:34 left in the game. But after a 40-yard field goal by Connor Barth, the Panthers were forced to punt, and Freeman led the Bucs 80 yards on seven plays in 50 seconds with no timeouts.
He finished the drive with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Jackson between three defenders with 12 seconds left. Freeman went back to Jackson for a 2-point conversion on a slant route to send the game into overtime.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots used three scoring passes from Tom Brady, two touchdowns on interception returns and another on a punt return to match a team single-game scoring record.
he first matchup between three-time Super Bowl winner Brady and star rookie Andrew Luck was no match.
The Patriots (7-3) won their fourth straight game and extended their lead in the AFC East to three games. The Colts (6-4) had their four-game winning streak stopped by the NFL's best offense and one of its worst defenses.
This win was the Patriots' most complete in a season in which they've averaged 35.8 points per game and lost their three games by a combined margin of four points.
The 59 points equals the team mark set in a 59-0 win over the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 18, 2009.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Malcolm Jenkins returned an interception for another score to get the Saints back to .500.
Lance Moore caught two touchdown passes and Mark Ingram ran for a score as the Saints (5-5) won for the fifth time in six games and are in position to make a late-season playoff run despite the season-long distraction from the bounty scandal.
The Raiders (3-7) lost their third straight game under first-year coach Dennis Allen as their banged-up defense got picked apart by Brees' precision passing. Oakland has allowed 135 points in those defeats, the most in a three-game span for the franchise since allowing 141 in the first three games in 1961.
Brees finished 20 for 27 for 219 yards, extending his own records by throwing a touchdown in his 53rd straight game and completing 20 passes for the 46th straight game.
DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns and Von Miller had three sacks to take the league lead with 13. Denver took a three-game lead in the AFC West by sweeping the Chargers.
Manning threw for 270 yards. He got off to a slow start, throwing an interception that Eric Weddle returned for a score and an early 7-0 lead. But the Broncos (7-3) took a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter and never trailed again.
Manning won his 148th regular-season game as a starting quarterback, tying John Elway for second on the all-time list. Brett Favre has 186.
The Chargers (4-6) lost for the fifth time in six games.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Robert Griffin III threw four touchdown passes, and Washington broke a three-game losing streak.
Griffin completed 14 of 15 passes for 200 yards and also ran 11 times for 85 yards. He threw for scores of 6, 49, 61 and 17 yards — one in each quarter.
Philadelphia's Nick Foles was 21 for 46 for 204 yards in his first NFL start, and his first two series ended with interceptions. Foles was starting in place of Michael Vick, who suffered a concussion in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Redskins improved to 4-6. The Eagles (3-7) have dropped six straight, accelerating the countdown toward the possible end of Andy Reid's 14-year tenure as coach.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mark Sanchez directed a turnover-free offense and Bilal Powell ran for the first two touchdowns of his career as the Jets ended a three-game losing streak.
Chaz Schilens scored on a 25-yard reception and Nick Folk kicked a pair of 51-yard field goals for the Jets (4-6), who were outscored 58-16 the previous two games. The Jets overcame a controversial practice week with several anonymous players quoted in a newspaper report disparaging the ability of backup quarterback Tim Tebow, who had a handful of snaps but was no factor.
Brandon Gibson caught a pair of short touchdown passes for the Rams (3-6-1), who committed three turnovers and are in an 0-4-1 slump. St. Louis' defense hasn't forced a turnover in five straight games, tying the NFL's longest such slump since 1950 according to STATS LLC.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns and A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass in his ninth straight game.
Green finished with six catches for 91 yards in another dazzling performance, Mohamed Sanu had a scoring grab and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following a four-game losing streak.
Cincinnati now plays its next four games against teams with losing records.
Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for Kansas City (1-9), but that was the only highlight for a team that lost its seventh straight amid a quiet crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.

Top games to play with friends on smartphones
There are several games on both of my iOS devices at any given time from just about every genre. But there are only a few games I go back to on an almost daily basis and that's because they are fun, addictive, and a great way to keep in touch with friends and family.
These "casual" games are turn-based and require you to connect with a friend to start playing -- there is no single-player option with this collection. They have also been around for a while, but that's kind of the point: these are the games I continue to play because it only requires a couple of minutes to take my turn and send it to a friend. While it is sometimes a pain to go in and complete my turns (especially when life gets busy), the overall experience of competing with your friends and family is a good one and acts as a way to stay connected, even in our busy everyday lives.… Read more

Redstone circuit
A redstone circuit is a structure that can be built to activate or control mechanisms.
Circuits can be designed to act in response to player activation, or to operate autonomously—either on a loop, or in response to non-player activity such as mob movement, item drops, plant growth, etc. The mechanisms that can be controlled by redstone circuits range from simple devices such as automatic doors and light switches, to complex devices such as elevators, automatic farms, or even in-game computers. Understanding how to build and use redstone circuits and the mechanisms they can control will greatly increase the range of things that can be accomplished in Minecraft.
The subject of redstone structures is huge — this article provides only an overview of the many different types of redstone circuits which can be built. For full details and examples of these redstone circuits, see the main articles for each topic.
Contents |
[edit] Redstone basics
Before describing the blocks used to build redstone circuits, or the types of circuits which can be built, an understanding of some basic concepts is required.
[edit] Redstone components
Main article: Redstone components
A redstone component is a block that provides some purpose to a redstone circuit.
- A power component provides power to all or part of a circuit -- e.g., redstone torch, button, lever, redstone block, etc.
- A transmission component passes power from one part of the circuit to another -- e.g., redstone dust, redstone repeater, redstone comparator.
- A mechanism component affects the environment (by moving, producing light, etc.) -- e.g., piston, redstone lamp, dispenser, etc.
[edit] Power
Redstone components and blocks may be powered or unpowered. Think of a "powered block" as a block that is electrified (but safe to touch). Some blocks will show their powered state visibly (for example, redstone dust lights up, a piston extends, etc.), but other blocks may give no visual indication of their powered state other than their effect on other redstone components.
An opaque block (e.g., stone, sandstone, dirt or grass, etc.) powered by a power component, or by a repeater or comparator, is said to be strongly-powered (a different concept from power level). A strongly-powered block can power adjacent redstone dust (including dust on top of the block or dust beneath it).
An opaque block powered only by redstone dust (and no other components) is said to be weakly-powered because a block powered only by redstone dust will not power other redstone dust (but can still power other components or devices).
No opaque block can directly power another opaque block—there must be dust or a device in between. A transparent block can't be powered by anything. "Strong" vs. "weak" power applies only to opaque blocks, not to dust or other redstone components.
A powered block (strong or weak) can affect adjacent redstone components. Different redstone components react differently to powered blocks—see their individual descriptions for details.
[edit] Power level
Power level (aka "signal strength") can vary from 0 to 15. Most power components provide power level 15, but a few provide a variable amount of power.
Redstone dust transmits power to adjacent redstone dust, but its strength decreases by 1 for each block of redstone dust traveled. Redstone dust can thus transmit power up to 15 blocks before needing to be maintained (with a redstone comparator) or re-strengthened with a repeater. Power level only fades with dust-to-dust transmission, not between dust and a device or block.
Power level can also be adjusted directly with a redstone comparator in comparison or subtraction mode.
[edit] Redstone update
When a change occurs somewhere in a redstone circuit, it can produce other changes in surrounding blocks in what is called a redstone update (not to be confused with Minecraft 1.5, known as the "Redstone Update"). Each of these changes can then produce other changes in their surrounding blocks. The update will propagate following the redstone circuit rules within loaded chunks. A common source of confusion comes when attempting to send redstone signals long distances, and finding that the signal stops when it hits an unloaded chunk or that conversely, a sensing signal from an unloaded chunk never arrives.
[edit] Redstone tick
A redstone tick is the moment when Minecraft updates redstone components. Redstone updates occur 10 times per second, so a redstone tick occurs every 0.1 seconds. Redstone torches, redstone repeaters, and mechanism components require one or more ticks to change state, so it can take a number of ticks for a signal to propagate through a complicated circuit.
Redstone ticks differ from "game ticks" (20 per second) and "block ticks" (block updates that occur at each game tick). When discussing redstone circuits, a "tick" is always a redstone tick, unless otherwise specified.
[edit] Signals and pulses
Circuits with a stable output are said to produce a signal -- an ON signal (also "high" or "1") if powered, or an OFF signal ("low", "0") if unpowered. When a signal changes from OFF to ON and then back again, that is described as a pulse (or ON pulse), while the opposite is described as an OFF pulse. ON pulses are far more common, and in casual discussion, "a signal" often refers to an ON pulse.
Very short pulses (1 or 2 ticks) can cause problems for some components or circuits because they have different update sequence to change states. For example, a redstone torch or a comparator will not respond to an 1-tick pulse made by repeaters.
[edit] Circuit vs. mechanism
These terms are sometimes used interchangeably to describe structures which incorporate redstone components, but a useful distinction can be made between the two:
- A circuit performs operations on signals (generating, modifying, combining, etc.).
- A mechanism manipulates the environment (moving blocks, opening doors, changing the light level, producing sound, etc.).
All mechanisms will necessarily incorporate redstone components or circuits, but a circuit by itself doesn't have to have an effect on the environment (except possibly incidentally, such as a redstone repeater changing its light level when changing its power state, or a piston moving a block to fulfill a role within the circuit). Making this distinction allows us to talk about circuits without having to define a specific in-game purpose for them, allowing players to find their own reasons to use them.
This article, and the other articles on redstone circuits, discuss only circuits which operate on signals. For articles about mechanisms, see the list of tutorials at the end of the article.
[edit] Size
The wiki describes circuit size (the volume of the rectangular solid it occupies) with the notation of shorter width × longer width × height, including support/floor blocks, but not including inputs/outputs.
Another method used for describing circuit size in the Minecraft community is to ignore non-redstone blocks simply used for support (for example, blocks under redstone dust or repeaters). However, this method is unable to distinguish between flat and 1-high circuits, as well as some other circuit differences.
Sometimes it is convenient to compare circuits simply by the area of their footprint (e.g., 3×4 for a circuit three block wide by four blocks long), or by a single dimension important in a particular context (e.g., length in a sequence of sub-circuits, height in a confined space, etc.).
[edit] Features
A number of features may be considered desirable design goals:
- 1-High
- A structure is 1-high (aka "1-tall") if its vertical dimension is one block high (meaning it cannot have any redstone components which require support blocks below them, such as redstone dust or repeaters). Also see flat.
- 1-Wide
- A structure is 1-wide if at least one of its horizontal dimensions is one block wide.
- Flat
- A structure is flat if it generally can be laid out on the ground with no components above another (support blocks under redstone components are okay). Flat structures are often easier for beginners to understand and build, and fit nicely under floors or on top of roofs. Also see 1-high.
- Flush
- A structure is flush if it doesn't extend beyond a flat wall, floor, or ceiling and can still provide utility to the other side. Flush is a desirable design goal for piston-extenders, piston doors, etc. Also see hipster and seamless.
- Hipster
- A structure is hipster if no redstone components are visible both before and after it completes its task (but it's okay if some are visible during operation). Also see flush and seamless.
- Instant
- A structure is instant if its output responds immediately to its input (a circuit delay of 0 ticks).
- Seamless
- A structure is seamless if it is initially hidden behind a flat wall, floor, or ceiling and can still provide utility to the other side. Seamless is a desirable design goal for piston-extenders, piston doors, etc. Also see flush and hipster.
- Silent
- A structure is silent if it makes no noise (such as from piston movement, dispenser/dropper triggering when empty, etc.). Silent structures are desirable for traps, peaceful homes, and for reducing lag produced by sound.
- Stackable
- A structure is stackable if it can be placed directly next to other copies of itself, and they all can be controlled as a single unit. Also see tileable.
- Tileable
- A structure is tileable if it can be placed directly next to other copies of itself, and each copy can still be controlled independently. Also see stackable.
- Structures might be described as "2-wide tileable" (tileable every two spaces in one dimension), or "2×4 tileable" (tileable in two directions), etc. Some structures might be described as "alternating tileable", meaning they can be placed next to each other if every other one is flipped or a slightly different design.
Other design goals may include reducing the delay a sub-circuit adds to a larger circuit, reducing the use of resource-expensive components (redstone, nether quartz, etc.), and re-arranging or redesigning a circuit to make it as small as possible.
[edit] Circuit types
Although the number of ways to construct circuits is endless, certain patterns of construction occur over and over again. The following sections attempt to categorize the circuits which have proven useful to the Minecraft community, while the main articles describe the specific circuits which fall into those categories.
Some of these circuits might be used by themselves for simple control of mechanisms, but frequently you will need to combine them into more complex circuits to meet the needs of a mechanism.
[edit] Transmission circuit
Some aspects of signal transmission can be helpful to understand: transmission types, vertical transmission, repeaters, and diodes.
- Although horizontal signal transmission is pretty straight-forward, vertical transmission involves options and trade-offs.
- Redstone staircases: The simplest way to transmit signals vertically is by placing redstone dust on blocks diagonally upwards, either in a straight staircase of blocks, in a 2×2 spiral of blocks, or in another similar variation. Redstone staircases can transmit signals both upwards and downwards, but can take up a lot of space and will require repeaters every 15 blocks.
- Redstone ladders: Because glowstone, upside-down slabs and upside-down stairs can support redstone dust but don't cut redstone dust, signals can be transmitted vertically (upwards only) by alternating these blocks in a 2×1 "ladder". Redstone ladders take up less space than redstone staircases, but also require repeaters every 15 blocks.
- Torch towers and torch ladders: A redstone torch can power a block above it, or redstone dust beneath it, allowing vertical transmission both upwards or downwards (different designs are required for each). Because it takes each torch a little time to change state, a torch tower can introduce some delay into a circuit, but no repeaters are necessary.
- Other forms of vertical transmission are possible, using pistons, water, etc.
- To "repeat" a signal means to boost it back up to full strength. The easiest way to do this is with a redstone repeater. Variations include:
- Instant Repeater: Repeats a signal without the delay introduced by a redstone repeater.
- Two-Way Repeater: Repeats a signal in both directions.
- A "diode" is a one-way circuit that allows a signal to travel only in one direction. It is used to protect another circuit from the chance of a signal trying to enter through the output, which could incorrectly change the circuit's state or interfere with its timing. It is also used in a compact circuit to keep one part of the circuit from interfering with another. Common choices for a diode include a redstone repeater or a height elevation to glowstone or an upside-down slab which won't transmit a signal back downwards.
- Many circuits are already one-way simply because their output comes from a block which can't take input. For example, you can't push a signal back into a circuit through a redstone torch except through the block it's attached to.
[edit] Logic circuit
It's sometimes necessary to check signals against each other and only output a signal when the inputs meet some criteria. A circuit which performs this function is known as a logic gate (a "gate" that only allows signals through if the "logic" is satisfied).
A | ON | ON | off | off | Question Answered |
B | ON | off | ON | off | |
NOT A | off | off | ON | ON | Is A off? |
A OR B | ON | ON | ON | off | Is either input on? |
A NOR B | off | off | off | ON | Are both inputs off? |
A AND B | ON | off | off | off | Are both inputs on? |
A NAND B | off | ON | ON | ON | Is either input off? |
A XOR B | off | ON | ON | off | Are the inputs different? |
A XNOR B | ON | off | off | ON | Are the inputs the same? |
A IMPLIES B | ON | off | ON | ON | If A is on, is B also on? |
- See also: Tutorials/Basic Logic Gates
- A NOT Gate (aka "inverter") is on if its input is off.
- An OR Gate is on if any of its inputs are on.
- A NOR Gate is on only if none of its inputs are on.
- An AND Gate is on only if all of its inputs are on.
- An NAND Gate is on if any of its inputs are off.
- An XOR Gate is on if its inputs are different.
- An XNOR Gate is on if its inputs are equal.
- An IMPLIES Gate is on unless the first input is on and the second input is off.
[edit] Pulse circuit
Some circuits require specific pulses, other circuits use pulse duration as a way to convey information. Pulse circuits manage these requirements.
A circuit which is stable in one output state and unstable in the other is known as a monostable circuit. Many pulse circuits are monostable because their OFF state is stable, but their ON state will quickly (or eventually) revert to OFF.
- Pulse Generator
- A pulse generator produces a pulse of a specific duration.
- Pulse Limiter
- A pulse limiter (aka pulse shortener) reduces the duration of pulses which are too long.
- Pulse Extender
- A pulse extender (aka pulse sustainer, pulse lengthener) increases the duration of pulses which are too short.
- Pulse Multiplier
- A pulse multiplier outputs multiple pulses for every input pulse (it multiplies the number of pulses).
- Pulse Divider
- A pulse divider (aka pulse counter) only outputs a signal after a certain number of pulses have been detected through the input (the number of pulses is indicative of the number of loops).
- Edge Detector
- An edge detector reacts to either a signal changing from OFF to ON (a "rising edge" detector) or from ON to OFF (a "falling edge" detector), or both (a "dual edge" detector).
- Pulse Length Detector
- A pulse length detector reacts only to pulses in a certain range of durations (often only to pulses of one specific duration).
[edit] Clock circuit
A clock circuit is a pulse generator that produces a loop of specific pulses over and over again. Some are designed to run forever, while others can be stopped and started.
A simple clock with only two states of equal duration is named for the duration of its ON state (e.g., for example, a clock which alternates between a 5-tick ON state and a 5-tick OFF state is called a 5-clock) while others are usually named for their period (the time it takes for the clock to return to its original state; for example, a "1-minute clock" might produce a 1-tick pulse every 60 seconds).
- Repeater clocks
- A repeater clock consists of a loop of repeaters (usually either redstone repeaters or redstone torches) with occasional dust or blocks to draw off the appropriate pulses.
- Hopper clocks
- A hopper clock produces timed pulses by moving items around between hoppers and drawing signals off with redstone comparators.
- Piston clocks
- A piston clock produces a loop of pulses by passing a block back and forth (or around, with many pistons) and drawing off a pulse when the block is in a certain location.
Clocks can also be built using daylight sensors, minecarts, boats, water flow, item despawn, etc.
[edit] Memory circuit
Unlike a logic circuit whose state always reflects its current inputs, a memory circuit's output depends not on the current state of its inputs, but on the history of its inputs. This allows a memory circuit to "remember" what state it should be in, until told to remember something else. There are four basic types of memory circuits. (A few circuits combine two different types.)
- RS Latch
- An RS latch has two inputs, one to set the output on and another to reset the output back to off. An RS latch built from NOR gates is known as an "RS NOR Latch", which is the oldest and most common memory circuit in Minecraft.
- T Flip-Flop
- A T flip-flop is used to toggle a signal (like a lever). It has one input which toggles the output between on and off.
- D Flip-Flop
- A D flip-flop has a "data" input and a "clock" input. When the clock input turns on, it sets the output to equal its data input.
- JK Latch
- A JK latch has two inputs, one to set the output on and another to reset the output back to off (like an RS latch), but when both turn on simultaneously it toggles the output between on and off (like a T flip-flop).
- Counter
- Unlike T Flip-Flops and RS Latches which can only hold two states (ON or OFF), a counter can be designed to hold a greater number of states.
Many other memory circuits are possible.
[edit] Miscellaneous circuits
These circuits aren't generally needed for your typical project, but might find use in complex projects, proofs of concept, and thought experiments. Some examples:
- Multiplexers and Relays
- A multiplexer is an advanced form of logic gate which chooses which of two inputs to let through as output based on an additional input (for example, if input A is ON then output input B, otherwise output input C). The reverse of this is a relay, which copies a data input to one of two outputs, depending on whether the additional input is ON or OFF.
- Randomizers
- A randomizer produces output signals unpredictably. Randomizers can be designed to produce a pulse at random intervals, or to randomize which of multiple outputs are turned ON (such as random number generators, or RNGs). Some randomizers use the random nature of Minecraft (such as cactus growth or dispenser slot selection), while others produce pseudo-randomness algorithmically.
- Multi-bit circuits
- Multi-bit circuits treat their input lines as a single multi-bit value (something other than zero and one) and perform an operation on them all at once. With such circuits, possibly combined with arrays of memory circuits, it's possible to build calculators, digital clocks, and even basic computers inside Minecraft.
- Block Update Detectors
- A block update detector (BUD, or BUD Switch) is a circuit which "reacts" to a block changing its state (for example, stone being mined, water changing to ice, a pumpkin growing next to a pumpkin stem, etc.). BUDs react by producing a pulse, while T-BUDs (Toggleable BUDs) react by toggling their output state. These are generally based on subtle quirks or glitches in device behavior; current circuits most often depend on pistons.
- See also: Tutorials/Block update detector
Many other complex circuits are possible.
- See also: Tutorials/Advanced redstone circuits
[edit] Building circuits
[edit] Planning
The first step in building a redstone circuit is to decide what it will do.
- How and where will it be controlled?
- Will the circuit be controlled by the player, by mob movement, or something else?
- What mechanism components will it control?
- How will the signal be transmitted from the controls to the mechanisms?
- Will signals need to be combined from multiple sources?
[edit] Construction
It can be helpful to choose a specific set of blocks you use to construct circuits. Then, when you run into these blocks when digging out new rooms in your base, you know you're about to damage a previously-built circuit. Common choices include stone brick, snow block, and wool. (Using different colors of wool is also a great way to keep track of different circuits)
Be careful when building circuits near water or lava. Many redstone components will "pop off" (turn into items) when washed over by liquids, and lava will destroy any items it contacts.
Be careful when building circuits to activate TNT (traps, cannons, etc.). Circuits in mid-construction can sometimes briefly power up unexpectedly, which might activate TNT. For example, if you place a redstone torch on a powered block, it won't "figure out" that it should be turned off until the next tick, and can briefly power another part of the circuit until then. Placing your TNT after the rest of the circuit is complete will help to avoid such problems and the destruction of the device itself. This also applies to any other features of the circuit which may be accidentally activated with such actions (e.g. activating a Dispenser before the circuit is ready).
[edit] Problem-solving
When your circuit isn't working the way you think it should, take a look at it and try to find the problem.
- Are you trying to draw power from a weakly-powered block? Maybe you need a redstone repeater to strongly-power the block, or to pull power out of the block.
- Are you trying to transmit power through a non-opaque block? Replace it with an opaque block, or go around it.
- Did you create a short-circuit and a redstone torch that should be powered is now burned out? Fix the short-circuit and update the torch to get things going again.
- Are parts of your circuit activating when they shouldn't be? Maybe you've accidentally "crossed wires" allowing a signal from one part of the circuit to activate another part of the circuit, or a repeater's output is being allowed to cycle into its input.
- Did the behavior you were using get removed?
- Are pistons, dispensers, or droppers being indirectly powered?
[edit] Refining
Once your circuit is working, consider if it can be improved (without breaking it).
- Can you make the circuit faster?
- Reducing the number of components a signal has to travel through can speed up the circuit.
- Can you make the circuit smaller?
- Can you use fewer blocks?
- Can you shorten the redstone dust lines?
- Can you compact logic gates in your circuit?
- Did you use some unneccesary components? If so, remove them.
- Can you make the circuit more robust?
- Will the circuit still work when activated by a very short pulse?
- Will the circuit still work when activated and deactivated rapidly in succession?
- Did an update create the opportunity for a better circuit? (e.g. comparators, locking repeaters, etc.)
- Can you make it quieter?

THANK YOU! I've been searching for that everywhere! If anyone else would like to read it, CST has a copy here: http://www.cstsuspension.com/articles/chevy.roundup.pdf. It's too bad BDS and Fabtech didn't participate. I thought it was a pretty comprehensive group, but that puts a bit of a hole in the results. I also agree a catagory for install and fit would have been nice.

Postcards from the Dead
Laura Childs - Author
New Orleans is in the throes of another fantastic Mardi Gras celebration when the party gets crashed by a murderer. Now a scrapbooking sleuth is going to have to stop the partying to catch the killer… There's a parade rolling through the historic French Quarter, with gigantic floats, silver beads, and dizzying lights—and Kimber Breeze of KBEZ-TV is broadcasting live from a small balcony on the fourth floor of the Hotel Tremain, interviewing locals and capturing the spectacle down below. Her next subject will be Carmela Bertrand, owner of Memory Mine scrapbooking shop. Carmela has never been a fan of Kimber, but she isn't about to turn down the chance of good publicity for her shop. But before Carmela's shop gets its five minutes of fame, a killer slips onto the balcony and strangles Kimber with a cord, leaving her body dangling above the parade. Carmela is horrified, but she quickly discovers the nightmare isn't over. Because someone is now leaving strange postcards at Carmela's shop—signed by the dead Kimber. Now Carmela and her friend Ava will have to risk their own necks to find out who's posing as a ghost—and to expose a killer… INCLUDES SCRAPBOOKING TIPS Chapter 1 A dazzling night filled with gigantic floats, silver beads, dizzying lights, fire-twirling flambeaus, and a crowd that was fueled by too much Dixie Beer and Southern Comfort. This Wednesday evening, the Loomis krewe's parade rolled through New Orleans's historic French Quarter, pumping out all the brazenness and utter abandon they could muster. And the city of New Orleans fairly sizzled, caught in the throes of another fantastical Mardi Gras celebration, beginning with the Epiphany and ending with that crazy-costumed, over-the-top super finale known as Fat Tuesday. Smack-dab in the middle of it all, Kimber Breeze, the perky, Botoxed blond reporter from KBEZ-TV, stood on a delicate wrought-iron balcony outside the Hotel Tremain. Four floors above Royal Street, she chirped happily into her microphone and smiled broadly at the cameras as she interviewed various French Quarter denizens and broadcast parts of the parade spectacle live. Inside, in the elegant but slightly frayed Bonaparte Suite, fifty costumed revelers sang and danced and whooped it up. Most were there for the free booze; only a few had been invited for actual interviews. Carmela Bertrand, owner of the Memory Mine scrapbooking shop, was one of those waiting her turn on the balcony. Carmela wasn't a big fan of Kimber Breeze, but she knew a photo op when she saw one. And her business, still not fully recovered from that enormous hiccup known as Hurricane Katrina, could always use a punch of publicity. "This is taking forever," Carmela drawled to her best friend, Ava, who had come along to keep her company. Having taught a morning class on stencils, then spent the afternoon unpacking boxes filled with new mulberry and banana leaf papers, Carmela wasn't in the mood for the zydeco music and the fever-pitch energy that pulsed through the room. Carmela would have preferred to be tucked snugly into her little French Quarter apartment, watching Wheel of Fortune and enjoying a calm, relaxing evening with her two dogs, Boo and Poobah. "C'mon, cher, enjoy the party!" urged Ava. Ava was a party girl and former Southern beauty queen, while Carmela was clearly the laid-back cocooner. "Loosen up and live a little!" Carmela smiled tolerantly and smoothed back a strand of honeyed blond hair from her short, choppy bob. Not quite thirty, Carmela was lithe and youthful-looking, with eyes the same flat blue-gray as the Gulf of Mexico, and lush lashes that tipped up slightly at the ends. Though her peaches-and-cream complexion rarely saw the need for makeup, she did enjoy the natural hydration properties of Louisiana's industrial-strength humidity. Carmela was also the one who favored more classic (okay, conservative) clothing in colors of navy, cream, and camel, while Ava, always willing to push the envelope as far as humanly possible, loved to dress in black leather pants and tight low-cut tops. "Tonight's a school night," Carmela joked. She knew that tomorrow morning, come nine o'clock, she had to be primed and ready for the onslaught of customers that would pour into her shop. Most would be frantic to grab reams of paper, rubber stamps, and rolls of purple and green ribbon. All the better to create Mardi Gras menus, party place settings, and scrapbook pages. "Oh my gosh!" Ava suddenly screeched, "I don't believe it! There's Sugar Joe!" Carmela stood on tippy-toe and tried to peer over the heads of the costumed crazies. "Where?" Sugar Joe Panola was the best friend of her ex-husband, Shamus Meechum. But where Shamus was a rat fink of the first magnitude, Sugar Joe was actually a pretty decent guy. "On the monitor, on the monitor!" cried Ava, pointing. Carmela swiveled her head to where Raleigh, one of KBEZ-TV's camera guys, sat at a portable console. "Let's watch," she said. "See how it goes for him." Maybe see what's in store for me. Over the years, Carmela hadn't enjoyed a particularly warm relationship with Kimber Breeze. Truth be told, whenever they'd had dealings with each other, Kimber had pretty much tried to sandbag her. But Carmela didn't hold with harboring old hurts and grudges. After all, what good did it do to hang on to them? Nothing, really. Unless, of course, it was a grudge involving an ex-husband. Then it was perfectly legitimate. Threading their way through the rambunctious crowd, Carmela and Ava eased up to Raleigh and his equipment. Raleigh, who was middle-aged and favored khakis and T-shirts, seemed to have a perpetual hunch from lugging around battery packs, cables, and camera gear. And trailing after Kimber. And listening to her shrill, domineering voice. "How come you're not out there with Kimber?" Carmela asked him. "No room," said Raleigh, as his fingers worked the dials. "That balcony is a tight squeeze for even two people. So I've got one camera locked on Kimber, another one on the parade below, and one running in here." He waved a hand. "Which means besides being cameraman, I get to play floor director tonight." "What does that mean exactly?" asked Carmela. Raleigh shrugged. "Switching between cameras A, B, and C." "And all this feeds directly back to the station?" asked Carmela, indicating the monitors. She found this technical part fascinating, akin to assembling a video scrapbook. "That's right," said Raleigh. His brows beetled and he was suddenly on alert. "Oh hey, here we go." Carmela and Ava watched the monitor as Kimber interviewed Sugar Joe. Which, for the preening Kimber, pretty much turned into a flirt fest. "Maybe she'll flirt with you," Ava said to Carmela, then giggled wickedly. "Maybe she'll turn tail and walk away," said Carmela. She wasn't sure what Kimber's reaction would be to her. Stamp her foot and refuse to do the interview? Could happen. On the monitor, Kimber gave Sugar Joe a warm hug. Then, a few seconds later, Sugar Joe came bounding in from the balcony. Sugar Joe was tall with buzz-cut blond hair and a broad, open face. When he saw Carmela and Ava he broke into a grin. "Carmela!" Sugar Joe cried out. "And Ava!" He spread his arms wide open, the better to hug them. "You ladies look ravishing!" Sugar Joe told every woman within a two-mile radius that she looked ravishing. And he greeted each and every woman with, "Hello, beautiful!" Carmela decided Sugar Joe's boundless enthusiasm for the fairer sex wasn't the worst thing in the world. "You looked mighty handsome on camera, Sugar Joe," cooed Ava. Ava had a way with the opposite sex, as well. But Carmela was more interested in the broadcast. Raleigh had switched to the parade feed now, capturing an enormous pirate ship that was gliding by, illuminating the night with thousands of white twinkle lights. "Now this feed's going to the station?" she asked Raleigh. "It's going there, but not live," he told her. "It's being automatically archived for later." "But a portion of this broadcast will be live?" Raleigh glanced at his watch and seemed to tense up. "Oh yeah. In about eight seconds." He slouched forward and spoke into his microphone, "Okay, Kimber, time to cut in for station ID." He paused while he twiddled a dial on his console. "Kimber?" he said again. "Better be on your toes, girl, because I'm coming to you live in five." Raleigh stole another quick glance at his watch, then began his countdown: "Five, four, three, two . . ." But when Kimber's monitor came on, no one was there. "Crap!" whooped Raleigh. He frantically keyed her microphone. "Kimber," he hissed, "you're on!" A blank screen. Still no Kimber. Suddenly a blur of motion flashed across the screen, and then Kimber's face was pressed tightly against the camera's lens in a grotesque grimace. "What?" cried Raleigh. He jerked back. "Oh man, now the lights went out! Jeez Louise, I gotta switch my feed!" His fingers quickly pushed buttons, cutting over to the parade that was lumbering by below them. Was Kimber just goofing off? Carmela wondered. Was she being a pill and trying to rattle poor Raleigh? But something didn't sit right with Carmela. From her perspective, Kimber had looked . . . terrified. "No, put the balcony feed up on the other monitor!" she cried to Raleigh. "Something's wrong!" He shook his head. "Can't. The klieg's down. No light out there." Carmela stood motionless for one more second, knowing it wasn't her place to interfere. Then she quickly reconsidered and pushed her way through the impervious, partying crowd and out onto the balcony. Arriving slightly breathless on the little half-circle balcony that hung out over the street, Carmela stopped dead in her tracks. Bizarrely, Kimber was nowhere to be found. Huh? Where on earth did she disappear to? Carmela blinked and glanced around again. Kidnapped by space aliens? She saw only two cameras, locked in place, their dark lenses and all-seeing red eyes staring indifferently at her. As Carmela fought to figure out what strange trick had just been played, shrill screams echoed from the street below. Startled now, she turned and glanced down. An enormous pink-and-gold dragon float was rolling by, the dragon's ten-foot-wide gaping mouth spewing smoke and shooting sparks, while an enormous tail wagged back and forth across the entire width of the street. Perched high atop the dragon's spiky back were at least forty white-robed krewe members tossing strands of silver beads to the screaming, deliriously happy crowd. But still the screams persisted. And now the crowd wasn't just crying out for beads! Now, horrified faces were upturned. Looking at me? Puzzled, Carmela glanced down and saw a fat black cord snaked tightly over the balcony railing. Leading to . . . ? Her heart did a slow-motion flip-flop. Then, with a feeling of dread and a swirl of vertigo, Carmela leaned farther out over the narrow wrought-iron balcony and gazed straight down. That was when Carmela saw Kimber's lifeless body dangling ten feet below her and gasped in horror. Kimber's face was a massive purple clot. One slender high heel hung from her foot; the other foot was completely bare. Then a spotlight from the dragon float suddenly angled its bright light upward, revealing Kimber's twisting body. And Carmela's scream rose in a frantic plea, mingled with hysterical shrieks from the crowd below. |

Offering a throwback sound to complement her rich, womanly voice, Melanie Fiona is a bright R&B artist from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Born Melanie Hall, the singer grew up in inner-city Toronto to Guayanese parents. Fiona developed a passion for music at an early age, influenced by groups and artists such as the Ronettes and Whitney Houston. Though she has been active as a performer since 2002 -- she was a member of the groups X-Quisite and the Renaissance, the latter of which featured Drake -- her first recording didn't arrive until 2008. "Somebody Come Get Me," a reggae single issued under the alias Syren Hall on the Black Chiney label, was featured on the Reggae Gold 2008 compilation, and it helped her get signed to Universal Motown. She was the opening act on Kanye West's European tour in 2008, which is notable because she hadn't even released an album at that time. The following year, Fiona released her debut single, "Give It to Me Right," which samples "Time of the Season" by the Zombies. Fiona's melismatic and dynamic vocal propelled the single to the Top 20 on the Canadian Hot 100, in addition to charting on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart. Her debut album, The Bridge, was released in May 2009, and was a Top Five album on the R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart. Its greatest success was the follow-up to "Give It to Me Right," the number one R&B single "It Kills Me." Fiona released her second album, The MF Life, in March 2012. ~ Matthew Chisling

Levi's Commuter Cargo Pants $97.95
Built for life.
Yes, by now, we're all familiar with the joke about guys, cargo shorts, and 'Nam. However, the joke never mentioned cargo pants, nor did it mention the absolute convenience of cargo pockets while in the saddle. And while we understand the laughter directed towards massive pants with pockets for pockets' sake, the new Levi's Commuter Cargo Pants shatter this mold. In fact, these pants feature a slim fit, both a sanitized and protective finish, and thankfully, no carpenter's hook for ghosts of hammers past.
These aren't some run-of-the-mill, one-off attempt at appeasing a subculture. Instead, Levi's worked closely with cyclists in multiple cities around America, distributing prototypes and accepting feedback. And, as a result of developing the pants in accordance to critique, Levi's effectively dialed-in the fit, accoutrements, and finishes to what cyclists are actually asking for.
Accordingly, Levi's adapted its slim-fit cargo pants to the purpose of cycling. The Commuter Cargos feature a water-resistant and dirt-repellent NanoSphere protective finish to make commuting in hostile weather a little more acceptable, especially if your destination is the office. It's for this very reason that Levi's also incorporated an odor-resistant Sanitized finish to the pants, too. Levi's also made these pants perfect for trips where your bag is staying at home by installing a U-lock holster along the rear of the waistband. This way, you're not ramming your lock down your pants, wearing out your belt, or being forced to wear a fanny-pack -- you're grown man after all.
In terms of durability, Levi's double-layered the seat panel and the rear pockets. Additionally, the crotch of the Cargo is gusseted in order to resist tearing and saddle abrasion. In terms of fit, it's important to note that Levi's considers the Cargo as a slim-fit pair of pants. They sit slightly below the waist and feature a slim, slightly tapered leg. However, for the sake of coverage while in the saddle, these Cargos have been cut higher in the rear than a standard pair.
For the pockets, these trousers have been given slash front pockets, like a chino, with built-in stretch webbing at the corners. Meanwhile, the rear pockets feature a welted design, and the legs have cargo pockets that end right above the knee. And to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions, Levi's incorporated reflective 3M Scotchlite tape on the interior of the pant's cuffs.
The Levi's Commuter Cargo Pants are available in the colors Black and Tobacco and in the sizes 29x30, 30x30, 31x32, 32x32, 33x32, 34x32, 34x34, 36x32, and 38x32.

Bought these for my son who rides his BMX daily. They certainly run small but he loves the stylish look and functionality. If you plan on buying these to wear for commuters, I would recommend buying a size up.

Cycling pants? Hardly. No stretch in the crotch means getting a leg up on the saddle is a wrestling match. What's more, the fabric tightened when I did put my leg up over the saddle. Two months of occasional use, and I had put a hole in either leg at the upper inside corner of the cargo pocket because the non-stretch of the fabric was pulling tight there every time I put a leg up.
Two months of use, and the pants exploded with a 1-foot tear at that weak point. I rode home with my underwear blowing in the breeze.
Awesome pants

These are incredible pants. I live in Chicago and ride year round and have been searching for great pants I can wear on my daily commute to work. In the past month I have worn these pants almost daily and I'm impressed by the following characteristics:
Material. These guys are tough and warm without being bulky. Water beads off and I think they will last a long time.
Features. I love the reflectors inside the pant legs, additional reflectors at the corner of each rear pocket, and the snaps at the cuff of the legs. Also the small strip of rubber sewn into the left cargo pocket is genius for keeping my phone inside the pocket while pedaling. And the slightly tailored knees make pedaling much more comfortable than regular pants.
It's obvious that Levi's did their homework here, and in my opinion these pants are a home run.

These look awesome, and the fit is great. They were my new favorite pant... but the action of climbing on and off the bike tore holes in both legs right where the cargo pockets come to a corner. The gusseted crotch wasn't wide enough, so the pants pulled tight on my thighs whenever I put a leg over the saddle.
This stretched them tight and eventually tore the holes. Not cyclist approved. I'm in great shape so it wasn't me.
Oh well. Too bad I didn't buy them from Backcountry- I could have returned them!

Crazy, I've been using these hard for 6 months and no blow-outs.

Normally, I don't go for cargos... but Levi's nailed it here.
The cargos feature a slimmed down fit that doesn't make you look like you just walked out of the Army/Navy store and the beefed up fabric/stitching make these great for wear and tear on the bike or in the shop.
The cargo pockets are also smaller than I was expecting and positioned for easy access when pedaling.
Super durable fabric and water resistant coating also make these great for camping, climbing or winter weather.
Id recommend these as the slim alternative to 'Mountain Khakis'

There is something about a garage door that says home to people. It is the first thing you see when you get home so there is something about the garage door that inherently symbolized family and home. I remember being young and pressing the garage door button from within the garage and then I'd race out before the door came down. My brother and I did this together and it was so exhilarating! We would dare each other to do it again each time like it would be that time we wouldn't make it. Eventually we found out there was a sensor and we never were going to be smashed by the garage door but we still played it all the same.
Garage doors are a huge part of the face of your home and Castlegate Steel and Wood Garage Door Service, Inc. understands this and wants to help you represent your home and family in a way that expresses who you all are. They are a locally owned company and have been since 1992. The offer many different kinds of garage doors in wood and steel. They have residential steel and wood garage doors that come in many different styles. For example the wooden doors have much more of a rustic feel to them as opposed to the steel which tends to feel more elegant. They also have commercial steel garage doors that are a little more cut and dry in that you can have ribbed doors, micro-grooved sandwich doors, sandwich type doors and aluminum full view doors. They do not carry any wooden commercial garage doors. Finally they offer rolling steel garage doors much like the ones you usually see at storage units or ware houses. When choosing a rolling steel garage door you want to choose a manufacturer like Castlegate who has years of experience with garage doors.
Castlegate also specializes in garage door openers but not just the remote control for the garage doors but the actual mechanism that opens and shuts your door. A garage door can not do much without a garage door opener and that is why Castlegate has made them their business. There are two different garage door opener systems: one is the sommer-synoris operations that promises no noise and no maintenance. Its unique design is the reason they make no noise and there is a lifetime guarantee that comes with your purchase. Its easy to install and there is no maintenance required with it. You also don't have to worry about the sagging of the chain or belt. The second system they have is called the Chamberlain Lift Master Professional and it comes in many different models so you can be sure to pick one that perfectly fits whatever your need may be. There are seven different models including their estate series and you can even purchase garage door opener accessories.
If ever you have any questions about which of Castlegate garage doors will be good for you, just give them a call and have an experienced professional help you decide what will be best suited for your space so you will be able to have the freedom to make your garage door represent your home.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) says he will not spend money to campaign for votes in primaries in the 11 states still to vote in the race for the GOP nomination for President, telling backers that he doesn't have the "tens of millions of dollars" to compete.
In an email to supporters, Paul seemed to draw the curtain on the active part of his campaign for the White House, saying "we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted."
Paul had not been doing that much actual campaigning of late - the only future event listed on his campaign web site is an appearance at the Minnesota GOP convention this coming weekend.
But don't read this statement as meaning that Paul is getting out of the GOP race, as he urged his supporters to continue their fight to secure delegate slots to the national Republican Convention through the various state GOP conventions.
Here is Paul's email:
"As I reflect on our 2012 Presidential campaign, I am humbled by the supporters who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much. And I am so proud of what we have accomplished. We will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.
"This campaign fought hard and won electoral success that the talking heads and pundits never thought possible. But, this campaign is also about more than just the 2012 election. It has been part of a quest I began 40 years ago and that so many have joined. It is about the campaign for Liberty, which has taken a tremendous leap forward in this election and will continue to grow stronger in the future until we finally win.
"Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.
"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have. I encourage all supporters of Liberty to make sure you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in the local, state, and Congressional elections, where so many defenders of Freedom are fighting and need your support.
"I hope all supporters of Liberty will remain deeply involved – become delegates, win office, and take leadership positions. I will be right there with you. In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul."
