Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
Learning redstone in a hands-on fashion
In short, im building a form of password activated/deactivated mechanism. password entry via a sequence of 4 buttons will activate door or deactivate a trap... whatever.
This is a learning experience for me to get better with manipulating redstone and methods of condensing redstone. As such, I need someone who is well-experienced with redstone to help me with the construction of this project who can show me ways to condense my usual methods (like a AND gate followed by an inverter instead of the two-in-one variation).
Only one stipulation when making suggestions to me about the project. The core method of this contraption isnt to change. It operates on 4 pistons pushing a block around a 2x2 square. the buttons operate a piston and beneath the blocks 2x2 area is a redstone torch passing power to that block. ill explain more about the core idea in person but the full contrapion is to work as follows..
1. 4 button input requires a certain sequence to give an output
2. a wrong button press results in password reset.
i would also like to discuss the possibility of adding a extra tidbit - 3 incorrect password entries result in something like a pitfall to your death.(theory talk.. this addition probly wont happen tonight and probably wouldnt be part of this variation of password entry contraptions).
An AND gate followed by an inverter is also known as a NAND. The best way to do it (if you had space) would be to have the 2 redstone torches with one block space between them, then have one redstone dust in between them. Place the 3rd torch that will act as an inverter on the front of the block which has the dust on top. I would show you that and other stuff, but I don't have good right now, and am unable to use my Xbox as well.

i noted the nand gate as an example and this project so far has used 8 of them. on that note the AND and NAND gates are the only ones i know by heart, and i did inverters behind 4 of the NAND gates that makes me believe a different logic gate might be able 2 simplify those parts a bit.
Im probably not going to mess with this construction anymore until i have a knowledgeable person with me as the next step looks like it may involve 4 T-flip-flops that im building above everything else and im not sure if its necessary to do it that way or is the simplist way. Ultimately im curious as 2 what ways their may be to cut the size of this beast.. as it being a self discovered method to a password sequence mechanism i feel kinda "prideful" in it to want to use it over other forms found on youtube.
I have a 9 button combo lock built in my world that operates on a specific sequence. If a number is entered incorrectly (out of sequence) the whole thing resets and you must start your entry process again.
This is a direct extension of the 4 button combo lock that you are looking to build. I am happy to show you how to build it.
You can come into my game now and see how it works. I am not an expert on redstone by any means, but I sort of understand how it works. Just note that it is by no means my own design, I took it off of youtube and modified it to work in the current version of the game.
PS: The method I used involves no pistons, but accomplishes the goals you want. If the pistons are absolutely necessary (I dont see why they would be if the goals can be accomplished without them) then I cannot help you.

posted Apr 4 2013 5:09PM
Recently we got to visit teh Arc Of St. Charles winner of our Magic Offcie Stress break a organization that helps special needs and disabled people reach there full potential and was touched by the people there so I'd like to promote the
9th ANNUAL WALK FOR AUTISM AWARENESS to be held
on April 20, 2013
, at First Baptist New Orleans (
5290 Canal Blvd., New Orleans, LA
). This is a wonderful new venue which can accommodate our Walk even if it rains! And we are very excited to have Mike Hoss of WWL-TV return as our honorary Emcee! We will also have music, food, a silent auction, lots of fun activities, and a wide variety of representatives from agencies who serve individuals with Autism.

As Starbucks continues to recover and reinvent itself, CEO Howard Schultz keeps looking around for new areas to spread his powerful brand. Via instant coffee was one result of Starbucks' reinvention.
The next domain for Starbucks might be single-serve coffee.
It's an area the brand is exploring with with a new deal to provide single-serve coffee to a half-million luxury and premium hotel rooms. Consider that the scent of things to come.
Green Mountain essentially staged the single-serve revolution with its patented K-cup coffee pods for its Keurig makers and has cornered about 80% of the segment, but Schultz isn't phased.
And even though Starbucks already puts its brand on single-serve pods for Braun machines, he sniffs a much bigger opportunity.Continue reading...

Love McDonald's so much you want to marry it? Or, next best thing — get married there? That's now possible thanks to the brand's marketers in Hong Kong, where locals have been known to line up all day (having lived there, I've witnessed this!) to score the latest Snoopy toy or other collectible.
Cue McWeddings. While McDonald's weddings aren't unheard of in the US, they never occur on the premises. McDonald's in Hong Kong is going one better, offering an in-restaurant wedding package for which they'll host a wedding ceremony and party.

Rebranding can be tricky. Just ask Domino's. But many modern funeral homes are dead serious about brand extensions – as wedding facilities. And they seem to be succeeding.
Morbid? Maybe. But funeral homes are often less expensive and more available than more traditional wedding centers, and many include beautiful event spaces that are underutilized. And any raucous wedding partying certainly won't disturb the neighbors in the cemetery. That's right: boogie away to Chris Brown's Forever all night.Continue reading...

Twenty-six years ago, a four-day conference was organized in California to spread ideas.
It got its personable name, TED, because it brought together people from Technology, Entertainment, and Design. That conference spawned a small nonprofit organization which, arguably, has become one of today's hottest global providers of conferences and online videos for business and consumer audiences alike. Its simple bold red logo — three letters in all caps — is recognized around the world.
Today, TED is best-known for its annual conferences, where it has hosted such luminaries as Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, and Al Gore, along with its rich library of videos of presentations ("TEDTalks") available free on its website.
Beyond that, TED has spun off an array of extensions to the brand.Continue reading...

Gleeks (you know, fans of the hit TV series Glee) have been showing their devotion with Glee-inspired manicures.
Now nail color brand OPI, which has always kept customers chuckling with polish names such as "My Chihuahua Bites" and "Manicurist of Seville," is getting into the game. Its Sephora by OPI collection is taking a note from Glee with a nail polish collection that pays tribute to the award-winning series.
The new line will bear the hallmarks of OPI's usual cleverness, with inside-joke names like Miss Bossy Pants, a rich raspberry, Slushied, an opaque blue, and Sue vs. Shue, a navy blue. The colors will be available individually as well as in 6-color minisets this spring in Sephora stores.Continue reading...

Sports division has done very nicely, building up an audience of some 50 million visitors, reports the New York Times. In fact, Yahoo! Sports is the leading sports site, scoring over 52 million unique visitors last month, according to the Internet measurement firm comScore.Now Yahoo! Sports is leveraging that audience and hoping to grow it even more with this week's launch of a new online magazine that will publish on a daily basis. ThePostGame is a joint venture between Yahoo and a social networking and blogging site, SportsFanLive.com, which has about six million visitors.
Why spin off an online brand when Yahoo! Sports is already winning the battle for eyeballs?Continue reading...

I have a 2007 Camry, Check engine light came on. Before I took it to the dlr I wanted to know what was up. The unit plugs in under the dash, the menu is logical, and gives you the actual code, as well as what the code means. The problem was a bad coil. MY car has a V6, which means 3 of the coils are hidden beneath the intake stuff, and require removing the intake manifold.The bad coil was on the back side of the engine, so I went ahead and had the dlr fix it. If my car was a 4 cylinder, or if the bad coil was on the front bank of cylinders, I could have easily fixed myself and saved a lot of money.Bottom line, great tool to have. You can make sure your mechanic is being honest about what the problem is.

Great Device
By Joe Leonard

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Cen-Tech OBD II & CAN Code Reader with Multilingual Menu:
I used this device on my 2011 335D BMW after it didn't pass smog in California. Not only did it read the codes that lead to the repair (bad glow plug control module) but it also shows the monitor status to make sure all of your monitors are ready before you go to the smog station.Easy to use easy to read and easy to understand. I am really glad I picked this up. Couldn't have made my repairs without it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Was easy to use without reading the manual. Plugged in and read the error code of my 2002 Buick Lesabre. Saved me a bundle knowing it was a dirty sensor. <$10 to fix.

Scanned and erased codes on Jaguar XJ8
By Ray W
from Martinez, GA
Scanned and erased codes on a 2005 Jaguar XJ8. Very easy to use and navigating the menus was self explanatory. The codes matched Advanced Auto diagnostic. Fixed the engine misfire and erased the codes. Check engine light went out immediately.
Really Great so far !!
By Back yard mechanic
from Wisconsin
ordered online it took several days with shipping. However it has been very helpful in diagnosing starting problem on my 1999 Dodge Durango and then the engine light on my 2007 Mercury Milan as the thermostat was not working properly and I was able to reset the engine light after I made the appropriate repairs. Saved me a lot of time and money since I was able to find and fix the problems myself and not waste time trying to figure out what the problem was. This is a very good addition to my tool box as I am sure it will be helpful for future engine warning light problems.

About Me Auto Enthusiast, Truck Enthusiast
Excellent little tool to have when a check engine light is on. I've hooked this scanner to various different makes/models and have had no issue with connection & reads right away. I bought it for $50, doesn't get any better than that. Works just as well as the Innova brand, in my opinion.

By Mr. N.

About Me Truck Enthusiast
It's not fancy but it works. Great value for the DIY-ers. If you do mechanic work for a living, you might appreciate a scanner with a few more features but for the occasional code-scan, this works perfectly.

About Me Auto Enthusiast, Mechanic, Truck Enthusiast
I have a 02 c5 Corvette the check engine light came on. I read the good reviews on this website regarding this product and decided to buy one. The scanner does everything you would need it to regarding a check engine light diagnosis. Found the issue (Intake Temp Sensor High Voltage) replaced it and cleared the code. For the price you cannot go wrong. Great tool to have.

"I still think the social function of art is that kind of negative aesthetic. Otherwise there's no social function for it."
"Czara z Babelkami" (2006)
"I had a sweater as a little girl (in the refugee camps in Germany), and it was hand-knit out of unbleached wool from sheep. It had wonderful babelkami (popcorn stitches) on it, on the grid that was at the top part of the body. And of course, in no time at all (because it was not as though I had more than one of these...it was actually the only sweater I had during all those years) it got worn on the sleeve, around the shoulders and around the belly, so that it was kind of wayward. The grid got disrupted. It went organically way-ward. It started flowing. It started falling. So I used that, or a kind of intrigue with that, in part, as a source of my imagery for this enormous bowl."
- Ursula von Rydingsvard

To the Sports Editor:
Don Mattingly Day is today. I expect it will be the occasion for a lot of praise that will be qualified by the conclusion that he doesn't quite have the credentials for the Hall of Fame. I would hope, however, that it might also be the occasion for an intelligent making of the case for defensive brilliance counting for 50 percent (in which case, both Mattingly and Keith Hernandez should be elected).
Mattingly, despite a career cut short by back troubles, has more hits (2,153) than 30 percent of all Hall of Famers, including Yogi Berra, Bill Dickey and Tony Lazzeri (only Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio of the Yankee Hall of Famers had more hits). Only Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig and DiMaggio had more home runs, and only Gehrig, Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, Berra and Dickey had more runs batted in. And Mattingly's .308 batting average exceeds that of at least 35 Famers, including Willie Mays's .302.

qcad is *very* low-end.
I've done a fair bit of CAD work, and am pretty fluent in AutoCAD. I tried to use qcad for some simple things, but it's *really* lacking in basic functionality. Things like: Create a block. Assign layers to elements of a block. Set certain line colors to specific values, some to bylayer. Give the layer a color. Insert the block into a drawing. Change its color. The elements on a layer within the block inherit the attributes from the BLOCK's layer.
It's so wrong on such a simple bit of functionality that I couldn't take it seriously for anything more than arranging the furniture in my room, and even for that I felt like its limits were sometimes exceeded.
We really need more 2D CAD options in Linux.

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at TeleTech in October 2014.Interview Details
The hiring process is short and sweet. You apply online and if you are chosen for an interview they send you an email. The interview is on the phone and the questions are given to you in advance so you can rehearse your answers if you like. If you get through to the next round they call you back and offer you a time to come in for hiring paperwork. At this point you just fill out papers and submit to a drug test and are given your training schedule.Interview Questions

I applied online – interviewed at TeleTech in January 2014.Interview Details
The application process is very long and boring, the attempt to keep it fun and interactive was a complete failure. You go through about 2 hours of clicking reading and answering tech, personality, and customer service questions. You are then emailed a list of questions to answer through and automated recording; after this someone in the Philippines calls to schedule you for an interview. You are not really interviewed, you are asked if you can complete training without and absence. If you say yes you are hired and asked to come back a few hours to a day later for orientation. Orientation is not orientation at all, you pick a location closest to your house for a drug test and are given a paper with your start date, time, and the department you might work in.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThere is no negotiating, the pay is horrible but more than unemployment. I suggest putting serious effort in finding another employment off while you wait to start training.Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview

I applied online and was invited to come to the center for a skills assessment. I took the assessment there which involved computer literacy, IQ, and call handling questions. They let you know right away if you pass the assessment. I did, so they invited me to come back the following day for an interview. The interview was a sit down with a team lead and went smoothly. He let me know that he liked me and was going to recommend me for the position to his boss. They called me the next day, I think, and offered me the job.

We (husband and I) stayed at the Vendue Inn for 4 nights. It is a charming small hotel in a perfect location. From check in to check out everyone was helpful and knowledgable. The valet, Mark, remembered our name every time he saw us. Though our room was quite small it was newly renovated and perfectly comfortable. Another time i would probably ask for a larger room as we had nowhere to sit. The Inn offers it guests a full breakfast every morning as well as wine and cheese in the afternoon and warm cookies and milk in the evening. Really quite a special place.
I would defiantly return.

Kepler's named Small Business of the Year

In 1956 I worked for SRI (then Stanford Research Institute) in Menlo Park. On our lunch hour, a few of us would grab a bite to eat and head for Kepler's. At that time it was about 10% of its present size perhaps even less. Roy Kepler would be there, with Ira Sandperl at the front desk and, if we were fortunate, Joan Baez would be sitting in the back, playing guitar and singing. I was 25. We watched Kepler's grow and become the institution it is today. My favorite Menlo Park "institutions" were SRI, Beltramo's and Keplers!

All parent member reviews for Looking for Alaska
Parents say
(out of 30 reviews)
QUALITYReview this title!
Not for young teens...
This goes beyond, drinking, smoking, and sex. Many of the books middle schoolers read have those topics and the theme outweighs the vices. This however, gives some pretty graphic details of oral sex and I don't feel like the under 16 crowd needs this in a book.
What other families should know
Too much sex
Was this review useful?
All the hype, no come through
The book was hyped so much. It was a disappointing read from beginning to end. Lacked original imagination. (something that has been done 100 times before and better) Didn't create, nor stick to the mere story line or the "plot". I feel as though the book had a whole lot of nice words and sayings but not worth the read at all. The outcome of Alaska was utterly stupid and just when the book seemed to be picking up interest. Hopefully fault in our stars is a much better read..
What other families should know
Too much consumerism
Was this review useful?
Best book! educational!
Best book, My daughter recommended this to me, (she was 15 at the time). we share our passion for for this book together! this book teaches/inspires /helps you to live with a question mark, and not worry!
Fantastic for mature audiences
This book is FANTASTIC If you are open minded to mature content and can see metaphorical resonance there within.
What other families should know
Educational value
Too much violence
Too much sex
Too much swearing
Too much drinking/drugs/smoking
Beautiful book.
John Green is a wonderful writer and this book is quite well written. My 12 year olds read it, and it is a great book for mature tweens and teens.
What other families should know
Educational value
Great role models
It was pretty good, but I don't think any young children should be reading it. Emphasis on YOUNG. I mean, I was a pretty messed up child, and I wouldn't have been bothered by it, or learned anything new, even if I had read it at the age of seven. But I was still pretty screwed up, so don't take my word on it.
What other families should know
Educational value
Interesting and entertaining, despite how deep it can be.
I thought this was a beautifully written book. It is about Miles, a sixteen year old who goes in search of something new and different to help bring him out of himself, a thing which he dubs, "The Great Perhaps." The whole story is centered around his stay at the new boarding school he attends, the friends he meets, the new experiences he has, and the things he learns about life and tragedy and happiness and dealing wit sorrow. I know it may sound too deep or sentimental or corny, but really, it's not. I read it just for fun, because I liked the picture on the cover, and I found it interesting and hard to put down. It tells all this sentimental stuff in a very non-sentimental, engaging, low key, and funny way.
A Modern Day Separate Peace
Our whole family listened to this book together and it was rivoting. There are certainly tough issues and frank discussion about sex, the frequent use of alcohol and tobacco by some of the students, but all presented realistically and from a teens perspective. Very enlightening for any age. We loved how it was written, that there was mystery, humor, sadness, all in one book! Great read.
LOOKING FOR ALASKA is an awesome awesome book! It stirs up the reader's emotions. It made me get misty-eyed. You become completely drawn into the life of Miles, the narrator, as he tries to find his "Great Perhaps" by enrolling in a boarding school. His roommate introduces Miles (ironically nicknamed "Pudge") to his friends, including Alaska, and a whole lot of crazy stuff ensues. They all smoke a lot and get drunk a lot. But I found myself laughing a lot! The language can be pretty rough at times, but it wasn't horrid. Green (the author) really knows how to throw in surprises. And he portrays the characters' emotions really well. LOOKING FOR ALASKA is a great book that I would recommend for readers 12 and up.
Great Read
I found this book when doing a research project for one of my education classes, and am now actually presenting it to the class. I could not put this book down! While many of the issues in the story are touchy subjects, in reality many teens are dealing with them, if not experiencing them, everyday. However, the manner in which these issues are presented do not take away from the main focus of the book, which is beautifully written. I would not be sure about using this book as a unit as a teacher, but would most definately recommend it to a reluctant reader, or a student dealing with some of the book related issues.
