Picaxe current per pin overload?
You must be logged in to reply.
1) For the Picaxe circuit shown on pg 151, I get for blue and green LEDs (Vf=3.5) per pin current of 75 mA, and 33 mA for red LED (Vf=1.7).
Based on the Picaxe manual " each output can sink or source 20mA" ... this seems high.
Is there something I'm missing here?
2) Also, any thoughts if all three LEDS could be driven with one Picaxe 18M2 chip ?
thanks for your help.Posted by paul1823 on February 01, 2011 at 21:35:52 Pacific Time

Are you using the exact same LEDs specified in the shopping list? They perform differently from generic LEDs.
I am skeptical that one chip such as 18M can do pulse-width modulation of three LEDs. I'm not sure it would be fast enough. But I encourage you to try it!Posted by Charles Platt on February 01, 2011 at 21:41:26 Pacific Time

696-SSL-LX5093USBC, 696-SSL-LX5093UEGC, 696-SSLLX5093XRC/4 are the Mouser.com part number I got when I searched for the part numbers listed in the article.
I used the Vf values from the data sheets Mouser provided for those parts and used the current calculation method as defined on page 28 of "Make:Electronics."Posted by paul1823 on February 02, 2011 at 13:24:08 Pacific Time

Thanks, very interesting! Because I built the "night light circuit" quite a while ago I can't remember if I did any calculations. I think what I actually did was vary the series resistors until I got an acceptable measurement for current. My circuit was then duplicated by an intern at Make magazine, to be sure that it worked. I feel certain that I used the same resistors, myself, as those which I listed in the article, and my night-light circuit has been running constantly for several months now.
What may be happening is that the outputs of the microcontrollers are to some extent self-limiting. But this goes beyond my knowledge.Posted by Charles Platt on February 02, 2011 at 21:08:10 Pacific Time

A large portion of this magazine edition is centered on Arduino. I'm curious as to whether the lamp could be modded to use an Arduino controller for the LED's. Would each LED need its own board, or can an Arduino board control three LEDs? If one board will do the job, can a program be written so that the lamp changes colors gradually; creating infinitely possibilities?
Did you research whether a large salt crystal is commercially available? If so, any leads?
I'm also curious as to what the bottom of the crystal looks like. Did you hollow out a small area in the bottom, drill three holes or just have the LEDs contact the bottom?Posted by jyossarian on January 24, 2011 at 15:37:42 Pacific Time

> Would each LED need its own board, or can an Arduino board control three LEDs?
A single Arduino would be easily able to handle this. An Arduino has 6 dedicated PWM outputs which can be controlled using the AnalogWrite function. The following tutorial Secrets of Arduino PWM will also be very useful.
I haven't used a PICAXE before but from a quick look at the relevant data sheets, the underlining micro controller should be able to easily drive three LEDs. Any limitation is likely to be in the complexity and space requirements of the software in using bit-banging to generate the PWM output.
I've worked on a very similar project/product for a Mini Mood Light, which uses a TI MSP430 compatible with the LaunchPad development platform. Six bit-banged PWM outputs are used to control two RGB LEDs along with four buttons for user control.

I was thinking of trying to use a four-lead RGB LED in conjunction with the randomSeed function on Arduino. It's not perfect yet, but I'm working on it.Posted by DIY PIE on July 25, 2011 at 10:06:25 Pacific Time

As a freelance contributor I was not aware that the magazine would be having a special Arduino issue. Unfortunately I cannot answer your question because I am not familiar with the Arduino myself.
As for the lump of salt, I didn't really expect anyone to go looking for one of these! That's why I suggested alternatives. The one that I was given already had a cavity in its flat base.Posted by Charles Platt on January 24, 2011 at 15:41:29 Pacific Time

An early symptom of Parkinson's disease in which the muscles of a limb stiffen and resist passive movement (attempt by another person to manipulate the arm or leg when the person relaxes the limb). It gets its name from both the fact that it gives smooth constant resistance no matter how fast or slow the limb is moved and the perception that the limb is heavy and nonresponsive, "like a lead pipe." Lead pipe resistance is typically what a neurologist looks for as a sign of rigidity. Another form of passive resistance in people with Parkinson's is common cogwheeling, in which the muscles move in a ratcheting motion and that neurologists recognize as being tied to tremor. Both cogwheel and lead pipe resistance result from the same damage to the extrapyramidal system, the network of nerves that conveys signals between the basal ganglia and the muscles. The person with Parkinson's often does not notice this resistance but may perceive aching and stiffness in the arm or leg. It is apparent to the doctor examining the person, however.
As can cogwheeling, lead pipe resistance can affect any muscle group on either side of a joint and is most commonly detected at the ankle, knee, wrist, and elbow. It is most often an asymmetrical, or one-sided, symptom. As Parkinson's progresses, the delays and confusion in the nerve communication between the brain and the muscles expand beyond symptoms such as lead pipe resistance and cogwheeling to become gait disturbances such as start hesitation and freezing of gait. The kind of rigidity that marks lead pipe resistance can be a symptom of other neurological conditions such as tumors of the basal ganglia;

Black Magic Whoopin
Black Magic Whoopin I call him Magic is a great looking yearling stallion that is only going to get better as he matures, he is just a yearling so you can imagine how great he will be when he is fully matured as a 4 year old. Magic is a very well bred stallion his grandsire is the late great Sierras Showtime Reserve World Champion who I used to stand here at my ranch, Magic is double bed Sierra Te World Champion and Leading Sire for many year, he is double bred Sierra Te as his mother is a daughter of Speak Of Me. Magic is several generations of black only and he will sire a lot of black foals so if you are serious about having a program raising black horses then Magic would be the stallion to look at. Magic has been given the best of care since he was born and has been handled a great deal, he is 100% sound and has no issues to deal with, no scars or blemishes, great stallion and he is jet black and N/N and one of the best black stallion prospects I have ever seen that will be able to sire all arounds.

text: Road signs are used as a means of informing all road users of changes to the road layout ahead and the existence of certain restrictions. Very many circumstances require signs and markings. For the sake of consistency, many signs have been drawn up by the Department for Transport and legally enforced by Parliament.Traffic signs come in various colours and styles, depending on the type of information they need to convey. Each sign has a specially coated front, to enhance its visibility when headlights are shone onto it.Triangular signs are usually used for warning signs, whereas circular signs tell you what to do and rectangular signs give you information. In addition, blue signs tell you what you must do, while red rings or circles tell you what you cannot do. Please note that direction signing is an exception to this rule.The most commonly used signs are the red warning triangle signs, for example informing the driver of a bend ahead, a school or the need to 'Give Way'. The Highway Code provides details of road signs in normal use.

Yay! Long overdue, but at last Aria is gone, gone, gone! I did the same happy dance when obnoxious Paul and self-crowned diva Brianna were voted off too. However conniving Aria's fake smile,arrongance, sabotaging back-stabbing and camera hogging at the expense of her teammates (i.e. not letting Brad nor Dzintra speak when they were teamed up) finally did her in. She should have been eliminated long ago and certainly instead of Brad. But I'm sure Brad will resurface with a show or book deal of his own, while Aria will be best off adding a "creative" ingredient to Hamburger Helper to bring to her son's parent -teacher conferences. boyaci

@jmc88 - Given the economy over the past several years, I'm willing to guess that the next trend will be toward more discount silverware. The article even mentions people using combination utensils like sporks much more often now. At the very least, I think a lot of people will start moving toward more discount silverware.
I am in college now, and I know I have a pretty inexpensive set of silverware. I've had it for 5 years, and it is still working fine. I know some of the really cheap silverware gets worn out quickly, but as long as you spend money on something in the mid-range, there's no reason your silverware couldn't last for a long time.
Since everyone seems to be looking at ways to save their money, I can't see how the trend wouldn't be to buy more basic silverware. As long as silverware gets the food in your mouth, it works.

Her September session found Jackson sounding as if her pent-up energy had reached its boiling point. She was spewing like Mount Vesuvius, resulting in the rollicking "Honey Bop" (co-written by Mae Axton, Hoyt's mother and the co-author of "Heartbreak Hotel") and the combustible "Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad", earlier crooned on disc by Betty Hutton.
"We took a break [during the recording of 'Hot Dog!']," she later told writer Rich Kienzle for his notes to the 1990 Rhino anthology Rockin' In The Country. "And I went to the little Coke area. Ken went down there and I was drinkin' milk. And he said, 'Put that milk down!…Never, never drink milk when you're recording. It fogs your throat something terrible!' So on the record it's not clear and growly like I wanted."
Another highlight of the session was "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" (later a hit for the Springfields, starring Dusty, and Linda Ronstadt), which Jackson rendered with an unbridled passion. Her own "Baby Loves Him" seemingly was inspired by her relationship with Elvis.
The following year, Jackson segued between frequent gigging and cutting more rockabilly and country sides, including her catchy co-write with her old friend Vicki Countryman, "Cool Bop", and the two songs that would become her signature tunes: the incendiary call-to-teenage-arms "Let's Have A Party", which unbelievably went unnoticed for two years, and the searing "Fujiyama Mama", ironically a 1958 smash in Japan, with Jackson hurling out the words, "You can say I'm crazy, so deaf and dumb/but I can cause destruction just like the atom bomb…/And when I start eruptin'/Nobody's gonna make me stop!"
In 1957, after one of their last performances together, Elvis invited Wanda to his Memphis home on Audubon Drive to commiserate over a stack of R&B records (she's never revealed the full extent of their relationship). Jackson still reminisces onstage about those days and the ring Presley gave her, but most of all she waxes nostalgic over he music he bestowed upon her.
"Elvis had such a feel for the blues," she tells the audience on Alive And Still Kickin' before covering "One Night With You" (a 1958 hit for Presley). "I loved to hear him sing the blues." Certainly, their listening session made an impact on some of Jackson's song selections in the late '50s and early '60s, including her exhilarating versions of "Riot In Cell Block #9″, "Brown Eyed Handsome Man", "Rip It Up", and "Long Tall Sally". (She still performs some of them.)
With her constant gigging at dance halls, Jackson needed her own band rather than the pickup players she'd used in the past. She found a rockin' combo in Dallas' Bobby Poe & the Poe Kats, featuring Bobby "Poe" Brant, lead guitarist Vernon Sandusky, drummer Joe Brawley, and the poundin' R&B-styled pianist Big Al Downing, who happened to be black. "I didn't think a whole lot about [the color of his skin]," says Jackson today, "and Daddy didn't ever voice any concerns about it to me.
"The main thing [about having an interracial band] was it was so hard on Al. Because we had to hide him in the car when we'd check in a motel and get a room for him. He couldn't eat in restaurants so we'd bring food out to the car to him. At one of the clubs, when we started playing, the owner came up and said, 'You're gonna have to get the black man off the stage, they're not welcome in here.' So I said, 'If he goes, I go'. So he finally gave in and said OK.
"In all the clubs, he couldn't use the men's restroom, couldn't get off the stage to go get a Coke or something. But he was such a charismatic guy that he'd be sitting up there on the piano stool during our breaks and people would go up onstage and start hanging around him and talking to him. That helped and made him feel the people weren't against him. Al plays on a lot of my early Capitol recordings."
One of those was another Jackson composition, cut on April 8, 1958, "Mean, Mean Man", of which writer Nick Tosches once wrote: "The joys of being slapped around were praised through wet lips." Though Jackson and the Poe Kats got lots of work, chart action didn't come until 1960, when a Des Moines DJ adopted her "Let's Have A Party" as his theme song. Requests poured in, and the DJ informed Capitol that a single of the two-year-old number would be a hit. He was right.
Soon after, Jackson followed Thompson to Las Vegas, settling into a lucrative residency at the Golden Nugget and other nightspots. There, after the Poe Kats opted out, she formed a new band called the Party Timers, revolving around hotshot lead guitarist Roy Clark, whom Jackson had discovered in Baltimore. (Which means that Wanda employed both of the future emcees of "Hee Haw" as sidemen in their early days).
Clark joined her in Capitol's Nashville studio for several sessions in October 1960, adding his exemplary playing to some of her most incredible tracks. For the sultry "Funnel Of Love", he came up with exotic, echoey sonics. That number's flip side, Jackson's own "Right Or Wrong", got the full-on Patsy Cline-style treatment, propelling Jackson back into the charts and yielding her second-biggest hit (#9 country, #29 pop).
Jackson also completed her "party trilogy" with the numbers "There's A Party Goin' On" and "Man We Had A Party" (surely inspired by her new Las Vegas lifestyle). On the barnburner "Hard Headed Woman", Clark played an "astonishing solo," so described by music historian Colin Escott, "that must have had every other picker in the city of pickers shaking their heads."

Skyera and Everspin Partner to significantly improve Memory Reliability in Solid-State Storage Systems
Skyera leverages Everspin MRAM to ensure utmost reliability and performance of its Flash-based systems
CHANDLER, Ariz. – August 20, 2012 –Everspin Technologies, the global leader in developing and manufacturing magnetic-based memory (MRAM), is providing MRAM technology to Skyera to supercharge memory applications on its newly announced solid-state storage system. This is the industry's first all solid-state storage appliance that uses MRAM to provide customers with ultimate reliability for their critical data storage infrastructures.
Using Everspin MRAM in conjunction with Skyera's MLC NAND Flash-based enterprise solid-state storage systems eliminates the drawbacks of capacitor-backed RAM solutions to provide customers with enhanced data center fault recovery, reduced system downtime and lower total cost of ownership.
"Companies are increasingly turning to Flash-based storage systems to achieve greater performance of their applications but often must balance that boost with issues that may burden such volatile systems," said Joseph Unsworth, Research Vice President at Gartner. "By leveraging Everspin's MRAM, Skyera takes volatility out of the equation in both the storage and memory levels and brings solid state storage into many deployments that otherwise might have had to pass on concerns of reliability."
Everspin MRAM combines the best features of non-volatile memory and RAM to deliver truly non-volatile RAM enabling power fail protection. By enhancing data center and networking fault recovery, MRAM can reduce system downtime and also simplify system design providing an overall lower total cost of ownership. Compared to alternative non-volatile RAM solutions, MRAM eliminates the need for external components such as resistors, capacitors, batteries or super-capacitors including additional power fail logic circuitry. The elimination of these components improves data fidelity and system form factor while providing the most reliable solution at the overall lowest cost.
"Skyera is the latest leading enterprise storage supplier to choose Everspin's MRAM technology to replace capacitor backed RAM," said Phill LoPresti, president and CEO of Everspin. "For a company like Skyera to incorporate our technology into its stack shows their commitment to overcoming reliability issues on the storage side and providing the best possible user experience."
Skyera's enterprise solid-state storage system is based entirely on 19/20 nanometer consumer Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash at a system price of less than $3 per gigabyte before compression and deduplication. The compact half-depth 1u form factor sports a staggering 44 terabytes of high performance, low latency native capacity for the most demanding Big Data, analytics and virtualization applications. It was designed from the ground up to incorporate the most innovative technology available to yield the 100 times life amplification required to achieve enterprise reliability and endurance requirements.
"We are not simply providing the same class of storage systems previously introduced, throwing some Flash into a box and hoping it will be enough to convince enterprises that they now have something to suit their exact needs," said Radoslav Danilak, Skyera CEO. "We are optimizing each and every component of the system, and Everspin MRAM allows us to overcome any point of failure within the system memory while providing the best possible performance to supercharge enterprise-class applications."
Flash Memory Summit
The Skyera solid-state storage system featuring Everspin MRAM technology will be shown publicly for the first time at the upcoming Flash Memory Summit (FMS) August 21 – 23 in Santa Clara, Calif. In addition, Everspin will be chairing the MRAM panel on Tuesday, Aug. 22, which includes a presentation by Everspin titled "Enabling Write Cache with ST-MRAM," and is presenting as part of the "Life Beyond Flash: New Non-Volatile Memory Technologies" panel on Wednesday, Aug. 23.
About Everspin Technologies
Everspin Technologies is the leading developer and manufacturer of magnetic RAM (MRAM), offering stand-alone and embedded MRAM products. As the world's first volume MRAM supplier, Everspin has established itself as "The MRAM Company" with an intellectual property portfolio of more than 600 active patents and applications, many of which are fundamental and essential for MRAM technologies. Today Everspin delivers MRAM products to broad applications in the data center and storage, energy and infrastructure, and automotive and transportation markets, and expects to be the industry's first volume supplier of ST-MRAM in 2012.

Investor Q&A
Cannabis Market
The legal and political landscapes for medical cannabis and industrial hemp are improving at rates more rapid than expected. State by state, a definitive shift in public perception has been gaining momentum regarding cannabis and hemp as medical and industrial solutions.
A 2011 independent research study determined medical cannabis to be a $1.3 billion market, with expansion to $8.9 billion projected by 2016. Cannabis is believed to be California's number one agricultural crop representing a $14 billion marketplace as reported by the New York Times, Washington Post, and Bloomberg. Popularity of internet search terms for medical cannabis have increased 3000% since 2009, and statistics show a steady increase in interest as additional states enact legislation authorizing the legal use of medical cannabis. Taking note of strong U.S. support, European territories are also beginning to introduce legalization processes.
Significant growth opportunities exist for cannabis business development including, but not limited to, product safety controls, product tracking, ERP, commerce software, digital marketing, social media, data mining, and patient education. Rapid industry growth has compressed business cycles, fostering the necessity for technological advancements.
As the medical cannabis industry matures, it attracts talented entrepreneurs and business professionals from a broad cross-section of industries, eager to apply their expertise in an exciting new industry; in many cases crossing over with products and services.
Significant investment opportunities will be created as these industries establish themselves as critical components of U.S. and World gross domestic product. There is ample room for growth and expansion in all sectors of the medical cannabis and industrial hemp industries, which translate to returns on investments far greater than in most segments of the domestic and world markets.
Never before in economic history have a product and supporting market been prohibited by a government for 75 years while at least 40 years of documented support for the product's use exists. Clearly, this is an example of government and politicians who could do better to represent the will of the people over special interests.
32% of the United States have already enacted legislation in favor of medical cannabis, and an additional 32% have bills slated for the ballot in November 2012. The cannabis industry is rapidly approaching the tipping point for majority acceptance. When that point is reached, 75 years of accumulated consumer demand will be unleashed for products that are healthy and sustainable solutions to a myriad of environmental, economic, and social problems we face today.
Heading into 2013, there is a strong possibility that 64% of the United States will have legislation in place that supports medical cannabis, greatly influencing the federal position of legalization policies, as well as opening up new markets, and new possibilities

BMW Sauber driver Nick Heidfeld has admitted that he did not expect the team to be as strong as they were during the 2007 season. Heidfeld, who scored in all but three races, finished fifth in the championship with a tally of 61 points.
Before the season I didn't think we could be this strong, explained the German. I had expected Renault to be a tougher challenge. I hadn't expected things to go so well.
After finishing their 2006 debut season fifth in the constructors' table, BMW Sauber had hoped to step up to fourth in 2007. But the poor performance of title holders Renault and their own surprisingly strong progress, saw the German-Swiss team quickly take up the best of the rest slot behind Ferrari and McLaren.
Following McLarens exclusion from the championship, BMW Sauber eventually finished the year second in the standings, behind Ferrari. Looking ahead to next season, Heidfeld now believes the squad may have paved the way for even greater success in the future.
That is more realistic than ever before, particularly since I am convinced it can be possible with BMW, he explained. It probably won't happen in 2008 but the goal of BMW is to win a race next season and then compete for the title. And that is my goal too.
The 30 year-old has been with the team since the end of 2005, after moving from Williams. Next season, he will continue to drive alongside team mate Robert Kubica, who was also retained for 2008.

While some have complained about Apple's decision to restrict the heck out of the iPhone's Bluetooth capabilities, at least that has cut down on the ability of people to exploit the phone's Bluetooth connection. That locked-down Bluetooth access on iPhones may be why Android-powered devices seem less secure by comparison.
Of course, it's a good policy to turn off Bluetooth when you're not using it. That simple move will also cut down on battery usage.

Outrageous Brownie Points for the Barefoot Contessa
As embarrassing as this may be to admit, a moment of personal revelation came to me once I realized that baking brownies didn't necessitate using a brownie mix. Granted, I was in my early twenties, but honestly, it never occurred to me to use anything other than a mix (at the time, I remember having distinct opinions about the virtues of Duncan Hines over all of the other competing brands of brownie mixes). Homemade brownies (from scratch) do require a bit of finesse and a negligible level of baking prowess, but for the most part they are relatively easy (compared to baking bread) and infinitely rewarding. That said, I am well aware that for most people, the Holy Grail is not the foolproof brownie recipe, but the foolproof brownie mix, which yields delicious results.
Ina Garten (AKA The Barefoot Contessa) has made her name in the Food Network/ cookbook world with her can-do attitude and her longstanding BC empire. People love her, and for good reason, she (by her own explanation) is totally self-taught and self-made: giving the impression that if she could do it, anyone can. The Barefoot Contessa Outrageous Brownie Mix is maybe Garten's way of saying, "if you can't, I will for you."
Quite obviously, this brownie mix is step up from the majority of store-bought mixes, and not just because it carries the BC moniker. Instead of mixing a packet of dry mix with some eggs and oil (as is usually the way it goes with store-bought brownie mix), you melt a small packet of semi-sweet chocolate chunks into a stick of unsalted butter (an extra step, yes), rendering it into a rich, dark ebony paste. You then mix that in with the eggs and dry mix (which is a double chocolate mix itself) to make something far more nuanced, complex, and chocolaty than any other brownie mix I have tried.
Are they outrageous? No, not really. But they are decidedly good and far superior to the brown bricks that are the end result of most brownie mixes. The chocolate is dark, with hints of coffee and liquor. Texture wise, they were acceptably cake-like and perfectly chewy, even after a day or so of being wrapped in plastic wrap. Maybe the most outrageous aspect of these brownies is the asking price, which is about $9 a box (more than double the price of Duncan Hines). But you are obviously paying for quality over convenience here, and if you are disinclined to bake up your own batch from scratch, this is most likely the best road to take.
Barefoot Contessa Outrageous Brownie Mix is sold in single boxes (makes approximately 9 brownies) and is sold at Crate and Barrel, Sur La Table, and Whole Foods Markets.

Getting there:
To the Youth Hostel from the City Centre & Rail Station.
We recommend getting a taxi, which will cost about £5 and get you here quickly - cheapest when shared between friends. Without your luggage it's a pleasant stroll back into the City. There are two main walking routes from the rail station to the hostel. The Riverside Route 0.9 miles or 20 minutes, along a beautiful but unlit path. Directions: Exit the rail station via the main exit and turn left. At the traffic lights, go left onto Leeman Road. Facing the bridge over the road, cross to the rightside of the street and walk along the alleyway till you get to the river path. Turn left out of the alleyway then immediate right across the bridge. Do a U-turn right back under the bridge, walking along the riverside path with river on your left. Once past 2 rowing sheds, the hostel is signed to the right near a road bridge. Go up the hill and you will see the driveway sign to the hostel on the opposite side of the road and to your right. Alternatively there is an On-Road Route, busy well lit route 1.2 miles or 25 minutes. Directions: Exit the rail station via the main entrance and turn left. Follow the flow of traffic through the city walls. Cross over Lendal Bridge walking up Museum Street towards the Minster. At the traffic lights, turn left onto St Leonard's Place. At the next traffic lights, passing the Art Gallery on your left, turn left walking along Bootham (road). Follow this road until there is fork to the left of the grassed area (Clifton Green). After rejoining the main road, the hostel is on the right along Water End. Look for the YHA York International poster at the exit from the rail station booking hall. The poster has a map showing you how to find us. By Bus. Take the No2 Green Line Park & Ride bus from Station Ave (by Rail Station) or from Museum Gardens to Clifton Green. A 5 minute bus ride costing just over €1.00. Or take a taxi from the station forecourt, costing approx €4 or €5. By Car. If you are coming into York by car it is best to come in from the North via the ring road (A1237), then come into York on either the A59 or the A19. The Youth Hostel is on Water End, next to the River Ouse at Clifton Bridge.

How do I track people and use my compass?In order to track, you need to update your compass. To update your compass, you right click it on a block, in chat it will say something like "Compass pointing at WiKi_KiKi". Follow your compass till the arrow points behind you, and I would of been at that exact position when you tracked WiKi_KiKi, so chances are – he was right below you! To keep updating, you need to keep right clicking your compass.
My compass says there are no valid targets, what does this mean?This occurs when you are within 25 blocks of your enemy. To find your enemies position, you can walk away 25 blocks and then update your compass once. When you have him on your compass, don't update your compass again! Keep following your compass, and when it points behind you, dig down – chances are, he was right below – or still is!
I'm an MVP/PRO, but I lost my starting items when I respawned. What do I do?Well – not a lot. If you chose to be a kit such as Monk, Endermage or Burrower then you probably wont be able to get your starting item back. This is intentional when you don't respawn, as we don't want to make MVP and PRO too unbalanced.
Can I go the Nether/The End in the Hardcore Games?Nope! The End and the Nether are, sadly, disabled in the servers so you cannot hide in the nether.
Can I mine diamonds in the Hardcore Games?Nope. Diamond ore is not even in the map, so therefore it cannot be mined. However, they can be obtained…
If we cannot mine diamonds, how do people get diamond swords? Are they cheating?Nope! They aren't cheating. Diamonds can be obtained through NPC Villages, abandoned mineshafts and sand-temples.
What's the feast, and why is it so important?The feast starts 22 minutes into the game. At the feast, lots of goodies are spawned in 12 chests as well as an enchanting table in the middle. Inside the chests, contains diamond goodies – such as swords, and diamond armor, plus lots of food, ender pearls, and many potions! Because of how game changing the feast is, it's vital you get there! However, there'll be several other people trying to get to the feast, hoping to win the contents… can you survive and get the contents?

A kit can give you a special ability to use throughout the game, or supply you with items when the game starts. These can be used to create strategies which can help you win the game.

Homebuilder Trading Opportunities Continue
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Homebuilding is an important segment of the U.S. economy, and the stocks in this group continue to have their ups and downs. In this environment homebuilder stock ratings have been flip-flopping between buy, hold and sell. This volatility should continue to provide buy-and-trade opportunities.
On Sept. 26 I wrote,
Homebuilder Volatility Provides Trading Opportunities and on this date the
PHLX Housing Sector Index
The weekly chart for the housing sector index shows the decline from its mid-2005 high to its March 2009 low and the subsequent rebound back above its 200-week SMA as 2012 began. The 200-week is now at 130.31. The chart also shows that the 2013 trading range has been influenced by the 50.0% and 61.8% Fibonacci Retracements of the entire housing crash. These key levels are 174.17 and 202.51 respectively. As this index declines towards the low end of this range, homebuilders tend to be upgraded and be near tests of value levels. At the upper end of this range the homebuilders tend to be downgraded near tests of risky levels.
Chart Courtesy of MetaStock Xenith The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index (HMI) slipped to 55 from 57 in October, still above the neutral 50 reading. Because of the partial shutdown of the government we do not know the housing starts figure for September. The NAHB estimates that Housing Starts came in around 900,000 units with single-family starts stable at around 625,000. When you look at the chart below observe that when the HMI is above 50, single-family starts were between annual rates of a million and 1.2 million. Homebuilding is thus running well below the industry's potential. The NAHB continues to see pent-up demand for new single-family homes across the country, and attribute the hiccup in the HMI to the costs and availability of labor and lots, and the gridlock in Washington. It appears that the spike in mortgage rates and the partial government shutdown also attributed to the pause in the market for new homes. While rates are higher they remain low by historical standards and therefore the NAHB expects home building and buyer optimism to recover.

When it comes to disciplining young children, time out is out. Early childhood experts now say that time outs can actually lead to more behavior problems instead of less. Time outs don't teach children the skills for how to control their own behavior and resolve conflicts effectively. It's simply a form a punishment without a learning opportunity. The experts say this is one of the major problems with the old time out method.
"Time-out does not address the root causes of behavior problems and does not teach children useful conflict resolution skills," says Aletha Solter, Ph.D., director of the Aware Parenting Institute. "Furthermore, children experience time-out as a form of punishment rather than a learning experience. Forced isolation can weaken the parent-child bond and cause children to feel anxious, insecure, and angry. These feelings can lead to more behavior problems later on, so the use of time-out is actually counter-productive. "
So what is a parent to do? How can you help your child manage your child's acting out without the use of time out? Try some of the suggestions below for a more positive method of discipline.
Behavior is Bad
- By separating the bad behavior from the child himself, you allow them the opportunity to change it. Saying "you are a bad boy" is very different from "your behavior was bad". If both the child and the parent recognize that the behavior is problematic and not the child, you'll be able to make it easier for him to identify what he did wrong for the future.
- Let your child know that he can choose and change his behavior. Saying "you are a bad boy" is a direct attack on your child's character and he may not feel he can change it. Instead, make it clear to him that he's in control of his actions, and that it's within his power to make the right decisions.
Feeling Words
- Many young children simply do not have the vocabulary to express their feelings. Teach your child "feeling" words such as disappointed, angry, frustrated and lonely by using them in context when you are in situations in which you have those feelings. This will give him a good point of reference for his own feelings and better help him to identify them when he's in tough situations.
- Ask your librarian to help you identify books that talk about feelings and read them to your child. Follow the story with a discussion of times when he may have felt the same feeling. Providing your child with examples of different kinds of feelings - good or bad - will help him to distinguish between his feelings and understand that others sometimes feel the same.
Focus on Solutions
- Rather than asking why your child performed a behavior, focus on how he could resolve the issue next time. For example "why did you hit your brother?" may not get you very far. Instead ask, "What can you do instead of hitting if your brother takes your truck?"
- Role playing solutions to problem behaviors helps children practice at a time when they are not angry. This will give him time to think about how he might act differently next time while he's not in the middle of a situation, and allow him to think it through more clearly to reference for the future.

His stock with me actually rose a little bit when he was playing with Calgary, and Detroit kept interfering with the goalie. So they put in McClennan, and whenever Holmstrom (or whomever it was) started messing with him, McClennan just whacked the piss out of him with his stick and took the ejection for the team. My first thought was "Good for him."

He is nothing like he was when he was with the Ducks, and he's not even that old. Sundin still scored goals up until he retired. I thought we'd at least get 20+ goals from Kariya. What happened to this guy's abilities?!
