United suffer Silvestre blow
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Frenchman picked up an ankle injury in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leeds after a heavy challenge from Alan Smith.
Silvestre is now set to miss both legs of the tie with Porto as well as the Premiership games with Fulham and Manchester City and the FA Cup sixth round meeting with either Fulham or West Ham.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admitted it was a major blow to lose the influential French international with Rio Ferdinand already missing through suspension.
"Mikael will be out for three weeks," Ferguson told the Manchester Evening News.
"It is a big blow for us but we will just have to get on with it."
In Silvestre's absence Roy Keane is set to drop back to defence to partner Wes Brown in central defence.
Ferguson has backed Brown to come good after an indifferent return to action following a long-term injury.
"I am not interested in what other people think," added Ferguson. "Wes will be back.
"I know what we know. The boy needs games and good training.
"Nine months out of the game is a long time, particularly as he has had three major injuries in his career and has only just turned 24.
"He has missed almost three years of football at this club which is a lot.
"There have been genuine signs that he is getting there and in a couple of games he will be back to his best."

The Single-A Hagerstown Suns announced that Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg will start Wednesday in his third rehab start as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
Strasburg is expected to go four innings and throw a maximum of 60 pitches as he continues his road to a healthy return to the Nationals lineup.
Friday in Woodbridge, Strasburg fired 33 pitches, 26 for strikes, consistently hitting 98 mph and once touching 99 mph in the second inning. He threw three shutout innings and allowed only a pair of infield singles. He finished the night by grabbing a come-backer to the mound and easily under-handing a toss to first for the third out.
On Friday, Strasburg said a year away from the game has given him a ton of time to think about how he will be a different pitcher next season.
"I think I am a little bit more hungry to get back out there," Strasburg said. "I wouldn't say I got complacent, but I didn't really have the experience last year. Once I got up there, I didn't know what to expect. I was kind of still feeling everything. Now I know what it is like up there and I am hungry to pitch as well as I can and help the Nationals win some ball games."
The start is in Hagerstown because Single-A Potomac and Double-A Harrisburg are on the road and Triple-A Syracuse might be too big a reach right now with where the Nationals want Strasburg to be.

30% have cancelled or postponed a break for work
19% don't let work come between them and family time on holiday
30% can't remember a holiday that was uninterrupted by work
Johannesburg - Many of us are spending our holidays working instead of relaxing with our families, a regional survey by Holiday Inn® has found.
Only one in 10 are able to completely "turn off" from work during a break and many can't remember a holiday that hasn't been interrupted by work.
The Holiday Inn 'Do More of What You Love' survey, gathered insights from travellers across the Asia, Middle East and Africa region to explore what guests love to do and see during vacations with friends and family.
Key findings indicate that in today's 'always on, always connected' world travellers find it challenging to truly disengage from work.
Over half (56 percent) of the holidaymakers surveyed say they've either occasionally or frequently had to work whilst on holidays, and more than 55 percent of this group have had to cancel or postpone holidays because of urgent last minute work commitments.
Whether participants are male or female, parents or child-free, the findings show that taking a break is not easy to achieve:
* More men (57 percent) than women (42 percent) frequently work on holidays;
* More male than female respondents (56 percent and 43 percent respectively) said they have had to cancel or postpone holidays because something urgent at work has come up;
* Of the 56 percent who have had to cancel or postpone a holiday due to work, child-free respondents were worst affected (53 percent);
Some travellers are finding ways to make work "work" for us whilst on holidays with almost one in three (30 percent) saying they only check work emails and messages once their children are in bed, the survey finding women (61 percent) more disciplined than men (38 percent) at doing this.
Regional comparisons showed travellers from Japan, Southeast Asia and India parents were best at only checking-in with work once their little ones were snoozing, while those from the Middle East scored the lowest, unsurprising given almost half (47 percent) responded that they had to cancel or postpone family holidays due to work.
Lee Lin Teo, Head of Brand Management for the Holiday Inn Brand Family across Asia, Middle East and Africa at InterContinental Hotels Group said: "Despite the large numbers of travellers who admit work does often encroach on their holiday time, what we do find encouraging is that other group of travellers who find ways to switch off, relax, rejuvenate and enjoy their break.
Younger travellers around the region were also surveyed with many saying they're seeing their Mums and Dads working on their precious breaks instead of spending quality time with them. In fact, over one in 10 say their parents always work on holidays, which is food for thought given almost a quarter (23 percent) of all kids surveyed say they feel sad when their parents work on holiday, saying they simply want to spend time or play together with their parents!

ATX to Lab Bench Power Supply Conversion
Introduction: ATX to Lab Bench Power Supply Conversion
In my sophomore year of college at the University of Minnesota, I started into my main electronics classes, and needed a good power supply for working on lab projects at home. My roommate Adam told me about somebody online who had converted an ATX computer power supply into a lab bench power supply, so I decided to do the same thing. You can also check out this link for a very similar guide by their user Abizarl. I have also documented this project on my website at http://www.mbeckler.org/powersupply/ if you are interested.
Warning! There are several large capacitors in ATX power supplies, that will store a dangerous charge for a long time. Please let your power supply discharge, completely unplugged from the wall outlet, for a few days before opening it up. You can probably be seriously hurt, so please be very careful. I am not a lawyer, but I hereby release myself from as much liability as I can, for any sort of injury you sustain, or any trouble you get into.
Step 1: Background
First, a bit of background on a typical ATX power supply:
Computer power supplies are Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), which use high-frequency switching circuit elements to provide a high-quality output voltage, with good energy efficiency. One side effect of this technology is the minimum load requirement that each power supply has. In order to function properly, the power supply needs at least a very small electrical load connected to it. In other words, ATX power supplies will only work if you have something connected to it. We will be using a power resistor to provide this minimum load.
Also, modern power supplies do not simply have an OFF/ON switch, they have what is known as a "soft" power switch. This normally makes no difference to the user, as the computer behaves the same, but when you shutdown your computer, the motherboard can turn off the power supply when it has finished shutting down. This requires us to add our own power switch to the power supply chassis.
To protect our circuit from accidental (and careless!) short circuits, we will install some fuse-holders and fuses, which will disconnect the circuit supply lines if too much current flows. The size of the fuses are up to you, but a 1 amp fuse will work just fine for most circuits. You really should put fuses on all supply lines.
Update: While the diagrams show fuses on all voltage rails and no fuse on the ground line, when I actually built my power supply, I was young and foolish and only put a fuse on the ground wire. It's much safer and a better idea to put fuses on all signal lines and not the ground line. Thanks to many emails and messages on Instructables about this oversight.
Step 2: Planning
Planning is the most important step of any successful project. To plan this project, I created a few images. I am going to be using four binding posts, a power switch, a fuse holder, a power resistor, and two light emitting diodes (LED's) with current-limiting resistors. The first image details the circuit connections inside the power supply, where everything will be connected
When the power supply is connected to the wall socket, but not yet turned on, it provides a +5v standby signal, that can be used by the motherboard for things like wake-on-LAN functionality. We use this signal line to indicate when the power supply is plugged in with a red LED and a 330 ohm resistor. On my power supply, this signal line has a purple wire, and is labeled "+5VSB" on the circuit board.
When the power supply is first turned on, it must go through a start-up sequence, to ensure that everything is working, and that it is able to provide stable power to the computer. When the start-up sequence has completed, it signals the motherboard by providing +5v on the "Power Good/Steady" signal line. We will use another red LED and 330 ohm resistor to indicate when the power supply is running. On my power supply, this signal line has a gray wire, and is labeled "PGS" on the circuit board.
The power resistor is a 10 ohm, 10 Watt resistor, commonly called a "sandbar", because they are usually coated with a material that feels like sand. Most power supplies need a minimum load to keep them running, so this sandbar resistor provides a constant minimum load between the +5V rail and Ground. I've heard that newer power supplies also need a load on the 3.3v rail, your mileage may vary.
In the second image, you can see the diagram for the front of the power supply. Here I have marked where the components will go, including the LED's, the binding posts, the fuse holder, and the switch.
The third image is what the power supply looks like without any modifications. You can see the various voltages I am going to use along the front edge.
Step 3: Drilling Holes
Here, I planned out and drilled the holes in the case. My power supply was a smaller form factor, (It was from a mini-tower case), so there wasn't a lot of space to work with.
Step 4: Connecting Front-panel Items
Here, I am connecting the appropriate wires to the binding posts, power switch, fuse holder, and LED's.
In an ATX power supply, there should be a wire that is used to turn on the power supply. You can see this wire (It's green) in the second picture; it is the green wire in the middle, where it says "ON/OFF" on the PCB. I connected this to the switch, and the other pole of the switch went to ground. The +5, +12, and -12 are connected right to their wires on the PCB. The ground wire is connected through the fuse holder before the binding post.
Initially, I was going to use green LED's, but I realized I had many more red LED's than green LED's, so I switched them over to reds. In the first picture, you can see the holders I installed into the front. I connected the LED's through a common resistor to ground. The LED on the left (from the front view) is a standby LED. It is lit whenever I have the power supply plugged into the wall. It is connected to the +5V standby wire on the PCB. In my PS, it's purple. The other LED is the "Power On" LED, and it is lit when I have the power supply turned on. It's connected to the "Power OK" signal wire, which goes to +5V when the power supply detects that it has stabilized the voltages. In my PS, it's the gray wire.
Step 5: Power Resistor
Most modern ATX power supplies require a small load to stay in the ON mode. I added a 10 ohm, 10 watt resistor between +5V and ground to provide this small load. It is strapped to the back wall of the power supply, where it should get plenty of air flow. It doesn't actually even get warm during normal operation so it's not a big deal.
Step 6: Finished Project
Here you can see the finished project, both with and without the cover. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will try to check back often to answer them. Thanks for looking, and good luck!
Keep in mind that while I built my power supply many years ago with only the ground line fused, you should put fuses on all your signal lines and leave the ground line directly connected.
Hi there. Im building a bartop arcade based on rPI3. I bought a 500W PSU (this one: http://www.tacens-anima.com/fuentes-de-alimentacio...) to feed the raspberry pi 3 VIA MicroUSB port and an 2.5" USB HardDrive.
Connected to the rpi is the xiaomi controllers encoder, and the USB Drive. My first attempt one month ago was to solder 2 usb ports to the MOLEX connectors from 5V rail but rpi3 keeps showing low current sign (low AMPS) and its boot is too slow. So, im asking you guys (as im a noob on this stuff) to help me. What do i need to do? Ive already stripped the PSU cable connectors but i dont know which kind of high power resistors should i use to keep a stable current AMPS both on rpi3 and on the USB drive.
Thanks in advance :)
Hello, sorry for the delay. I am not sure what sort of resistors you need to add to the USB D+ and D- wires to tell the raspi that it is a high-current power supply. It seems that apple, google, motorolla, samsung each have invented their own unique ways to signal charge current capacity. An easy thing to try is to short-together the D+ and D- wires (they are the other two wires in a USB cable that isn't the ground wire or the +5v wire). More details are in the answers here: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/177788/how-do-i-design-a-2a-or-more-power-supply-for-my-consumer-usb-devices - Good luck on your project!
what is the maximum power you get out of it? my conversion can't supply 1/4th the power it is rated to
Hello, sorry for the delay. Each voltage "rail" provided by a power supply has an individual max output rating. Together these power ratings should add up to the total PSU power rating. Additionally, some modern power supplies have multiple +12v rails each with their own max output rating, and it's not obvious which wires belong to which rail, so I'm really not sure how to figure out the max in that case.
What are the details of your situation? What does the PSU label say are the max current ratings for +5v and +12v (or whichever voltage you're using)? How are you determining that it can't even supply 1/4th of the power it's rated?
PS lists the (only) single 12v rail at 45 amps and I am trying to drive a ham radio that has a max power draw of 12.5 amps. did you test yours to see if you was getting max power?
I don't think I ever tested my PSU's current capacity. I have heard that some PSUs have a "short circuit detection" where a sudden increase in power draw is interpreted as some sort of short, and the PSU will shut off automatically. Is that what you're seeing? Some people here have suggested connecting your load to the PSU, and then turn on the PSU so the entire load is applied at startup, to avoid that short-circuit protection shutdown. Maybe other people here know more?
hello sir my atx power supply gets different voltage instead of 3.3v it gets 5.20v,5v it gets 5.70, 12v it gets 13.49v does my atx have fault in it or am i doing something wrong also i'm beginning in electronic so please help me. Another thing is i connect the load 5w 22ohms because i made this few months ago and i find then this load now i see you have used 10w 10ohms do you think my voltages are different because of this. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
First off your resistor, 5v @ 22ohm will dissipate about 1.5 watts so you will be fine with that load resistor. You may need to load the 3.3 rail too. But before you do anything make sure your multimeter is properly calibrated but testing on some known voltage sources.
Hi there, I have a question about switched mode power supplies, and thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here
I've used ATX PSU's in the past for their 12 volt output, but recently I tried to use them for a project involving a rotating light
A small 12V 1 AMP linear PSU could run the light fine, but when I connected the ATX PSU, it tripped out and needed to be switched off before working again
I tried running the linear PSU in parallel with the ATX PSU and that worked great
Can anyone tell me, is there something I can do to make this work permanently with the just the ATX PSU? Running the two in parallel like that seems wrong and I'm not keen to leave it in place
The rotating light seems to draw a lot of power, but it's only being used in short bursts, maybe 10secs at the most at a time
Hi Frankie, great question. I think this is probably tripping the power supply's short-circuit protection. I have heard from other people's comments here and elsewhere that some power supplies will shut off if they experience a sudden increase in current draw. Perhaps you could use a capacitor in parallel with the light to help smooth-out the current spike?
if i want to put more binding post do add more specific current for my 5volts and 12 volts (like 1A, 2A, 5A) what should i do? thanks..
Hello, good question! If you want to limit a specific binding post to only output a certain amount of current (1A, 2A, 5A, etc) then you need to use a fuse that will blow when the current limit is exceeded. Be aware that fuses are not very precise in terms of current limits, and there is usually a range where the fuse may or may not blow.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions, or if I didn't understand what you were asking.
Matthew, have you been on ebay recently? CC/CV boards cost 5 bucks for a stated 5 amp boost or buck...reality is 2-2.5amps unless you put some metal fins or odd chunk laying around on them. .One can get a Poly fuse multi value kit for dirt cheap as well.
need more amps? If they have roughly double the budget have them search ebay for ltc3780. 10-12 bucks and a month wait to get one from china using an IC from Linear Tech in Cali.
or you can get a board from an american based ebay shop in a week for about 23 bucks.
worth noting:
its auto regulating boost buck...the chip itself can do just about any form of power converter by re configuring (sepic, cuk etc )
I know all this because im prototyping a product and also keep a bunch of those cheap no name Dc-DC converters on hand for what ever comes up
I got my first 2 3780s for free but I didnt pay attention to the fact that the package was designed in imperial and ebay sop to dips apear to only be made in the 2 common metric pitches. I found one company that wanted like 12 bucks for the damn break out... so i paid the 23 to get the damn premade board asap and I will have 2 chips once I etch the second version at home.
hi Matthew
currently my ATX power supply have 12v with alot of Amps power...
i wonder it can charge my deep cycle battery 12v 9A or parallel connection with 12v 54Ah.
can you show us a diagrams that 12v have 1A , 2A, 5A , 10A ?
-Kokoro San
Hello Kokoro San. Be aware that many ATX power supplies have 12v split into 2 or more sub-supplies. Look at the sticker on the side of the ATX power supply for details. I would suggest using a battery charger to manage the charge process.
I am not sure what you're asking about for diagrams?
Thx for reply Matthew Currently.. my ATX power supply on yellow color wire output is 12v 20A I wonder it able to make it 13v 3A to charge deep cycle batterie
Generally it's pretty difficult to do a good job making a higher voltage from a lower voltage, especially for a high-current application like battery charging. You're probably better off looking on ebay for a cheap 14v power supply.
How do you determine which load resistor to use? I'm new to all this. Learning slowly but surely. I couldn't find any 10w 10ohm resistors so I bought a 8ohm 20w "non-inductive" resistor and a 10w 50ohm wire wound resistor. Thanks!
Hello, good question! I hope you're learning a lot and having fun! It's a bit of an experimental process to determine the size and placement of a load resistor (or resistors) for this kind of project. Some power supplies have a shutdown system where they will turn off if nothing is drawing current, and the load resistor is used to ensure that at least a little current is always being drawn, to keep the power supply from turning itself off. If you'll always have a load connected to the power supply, like if you're using it to charge RC vehicle batteries or something like that, then you probably don't need a load resistor.
From the comments on this Instructable over the past ten years, we've learned that some power supplies don't need any load resistor, some only need one on the 5v line, some only need one on the 3.3v line, and some need loads resistors on both. You'll have to experiment with it. I'd suggest trying it without any load resistor first, to see if it just works without. Then try adding it to the 5v line, then to the 3.3v line, then to the 12v line, then try adding one to both 5v and 3.3v, etc.
To calculate how much current each resistor will draw, use Ohm's Law:
Voltage = Current * Resistance
If you put that 8 ohm resistor on the 5v line, we can re-arrange Ohm's Law to calculate the current:
Current = Voltage / Resistance = 5 volts / 8 ohms = 0.625 amps of current (also called 625 milliamps).
If you put that 50 ohm resistor on the 5v line:
Current = Voltage / Resistance = 5 volts / 50 ohms = 0.1 amps of current = 100 milliamps of current
Once you know the voltage across the resistor, and the current through the resistor, you can calculate the power that is burned in the resistor:
Power = Current * Voltage
For 8 ohms at 5 volts, Power = 0.625 * 5 = 3.125 watts of power
For 50 ohms at 5 volts, Power = 0.1 * 5 = 0.5 watts of power
Since the power burned is less than the power rating for each of those resistors, you don't have to worry about melting them or having them overheat, at least on the 5v line. Repeat the calculations above to determine the resistor current and power burned for the 3.3v line and the 12v line.
I hope this helps, and good luck with your project!
That is awesome! Thanks so much for the detailed answer! That helps a lot. There is definitely a steep learning curve. I'm building a cnc/laser engraver for the final goal. Trying to get some practice under my belt and learn the basics. Do you have any suggested literature? I'll try it out when I get home. Again, thanks!
I followed your instructions and I have the following voltages available to me:
12v 18A (for each of two rails)
8.7v 17A (12 to 3.3)
7v 18A (12 to 5)
5v 22A
1.7v 17A (5 to 3.3)
12v 1A (from ground to -12v)
15.3 1A (3.3 to -12)
17v 1A (5 to -12)
24v 1A (12 to -12)
My quest:
I want to use the 3.3v to turn on the transistor allowing the 24v from my ATX power supply to run a very small motor.
My problem:
3v3 is using common ground while the 12v is using -12v for ground
I think that the 3v3 will now be using the -12v making it 15.3v not 3v3. I don't know if what I'm trying to do is possible.
My question:
Can I do what I'm trying to do without getting a lot more complicated?
Hello. I don't think it really is a good idea to make all those intermediate voltages by connecting different power rails. Each power rail is only designed to source current, providing it to a load, which returns the current to the common ground rail. I'm not sure it will work very well to draw current from one rail, only to return the current to a different power rail, which is expecting only to source current, not sink current provided to it.
Most power rails are designed with a feedback circuit that detects when the output voltage droops too low and provides more current in that case. They don't really have any control system in place to handle the "voltage too high" situation, which is what you'd be doing by making it sink current from somewhere else. Imagine you have a balloon filled with regular air, so it will slowly sink but you can tap it upwards to make it higher. Your job is to keep the balloon at about 5 feet above the ground by detecting when it gets too low, and then giving it a little tap. This works great even if you start adding more weight to the balloon (equivalent drawing more current), but if you start adding an upward force (fan on the floor pointing up?) then your simple control algorithm doesn't have any way to bump it lower. I hope that strained analogy helps explain the situation.
If you want different voltages than the standard voltages provided, I would strongly suggest buying or building an actual voltage regulator. It could be as simple as a LM317 regulator with a couple of resistors to set the desired current. You can even use a potentiometer (variable resistor) to make an adjustable voltage supply. The first circuit here is a good one http://www.circuitstoday.com/few-lm317-voltage-reg... but you can also look at the LM317 datasheet for other circuit ideas. Here's a cheap ($8) adjustable voltage regulator with voltage readout http://www.ebay.com/itm/LM317-AC-DC-Adjustable-Vol...
It makes it a lot simpler too if all your circuits have a common ground voltage.
Regarding switching 24v to a motor, don't forget that there are two ways to switch a circuit like that: high-side and low-side switching. Low-side switching is where your load (motor) is connected to the power supply voltage, through your switching device (a transistor, switch, or relay), and then to ground - The switch is below (on the low side of) the load (motor). A high-side switch is just the opposite. I attached a circuit schematic showing the difference.
Transistors are very useful for many things, but let's talk about using them as a switch. Transistors have three connections: one connection that controls the switch, and two connections that either prevent or allow current to flow between them. There are two general types of transistors, and two general technologies of transistor. The two technologies are Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and Field Effect Transistors (FETs or MOSFETs), but for simple switching applications their difference isn't really that important. The two types of transistor are N-type and P-type. N-type transistors only turn on (conduct current) when the control input is a few volts higher than the bottom connection. P-type transistors only turn on (conduct current) when the control input is a few volts lower than the upper connection.
If you are using a low-side transistor then you almost always want to use an N-type transistor, where the bottom connection is grounded and the control input just needs to be higher than a couple volts. If you are using a high-side transistor than you usually use a P-type transistor, where the top connector is connected to the power supply voltage, and the control input must be at least a few volts lower than that to turn it on.
This can be used to allow a low-voltage microcontroller to turn on a higher voltage motor or light, but using a N-type transistor. While the microcontroller can only output maybe 3.3 or 5 volts as the control signal, this will be enough to turn on a N-type transistor connected as a low-side switch, which can then allow current to flow from, say, +12v through your motor, through the transistor, to ground. You may be able to do something similar with your 24v motor even if it doesn't have a true ground.
Good luck, and I hope this reply was helpful.
Great idea changing the transistor type I think it will work.
Isn't the voltage for the regulators only referenced between their input and ground, not their output? The output voltage to ground would be regulated at the appropriate level but that then would be sourced to a lower voltage for the output ground causing the difference to only effect the load between the two?
I am super new to this stuff and I find that I have some misconceptions. I asked a guy I know if that would be a problem and he said that I was correct to think it would work so long as I didn't exceed the amperage rating of the lowest rated circuit. I think I trust your reservations and experience enough to question my conceptions again.
I am not doing this for any practical purpose. I am mostly just learning how all of this works. If the power supply dies I wouldn't be too upset (though finding a 1AMP -12v on a power supply is exceedingly rare so I doubt I'd ever get a 2nd chance after I blow up this one).
I almost done. Amph I have a few question. The ATX PSU I used have 5v with 20amp and 3v with 20amp where should I connect the 10wtt10k sand bar power resistor, in 5v or 3v? and about the fuse, is that necessary? or if yes, what is the specifcation?
Lastly, is it possible to lower the amper or 3v, from 20amp to 1amp?
The ampere draw depends on what you are running, to lower the ampere draw you will need components that don't draw as many amperes. If you would like to limit amperes that the power supply will allow before breaking the circuit then try a circuit breaker. You can get mini circuit breakers for about $18 from a well known online industrial automation retailer rated for as little as 0.5A.
Hello, good questions!
1. Placement of the power resistor is somewhat of an experimental process. Some power supplies don't need one at all, some need it on 5v, some need it on 3.3v. You will probably need to experiment to see where it is needed. If you turn on the added switch and the fan doesn't turn, or the fan turns off after a few turns, then you likely need to add a power resistor somewhere. I'd try 5v first, and then 3.3v, and if it still doesn't stay turned-on, maybe try both 5v and 3.3v? Good luck, and let us know what you find!
2. The fuse is there to protect your circuit from a mistake, not to protect the power supply. I would expect most power supplies to have built-in over-current protection, either in the voltage regulators or even in a fuse inside the socket where you plug it into the wall outlet. If you make a mistake in your circuit, such as an accidental short-circuit, this kind of big power supply will be able to provide amps and amps of current through that little wire, likely melting or causing other damage to your circuit. If you know your circuit will only need a few hundred milliamps (less than one amp in total) then adding a 1 amp fuse to the +5 or +3.3 or +12 line (which ever you are using) will help protect your circuit by having the fuse blow instead of dumping tons of current through your circuit. I would estimate the largest expected current use, then use a fuse with double the current.
3. This is a very common (and very good) question, and the short answer is that you don't have to worry about the PSU having too many amps of current.
This kind of power supply is more accurately described as a "voltage supply". It tries to supply a fixed voltage (like +5v or +12v) no matter the amount of current drawn. If you draw too much current (more than the rating) then the power supply will be unable to keep the voltage at the right level and the voltage supplied will droop down. If you draw less current than the rating, then everything should just work, there's no worry about it providing too much current.
By way of analogy, the municipal water supply in your town probably supplies water at, say, 100 psi. A small bathroom sink will only draw a little bit of flow, while a garden hose will draw a lot of flow. Both are tapping into that 100 psi supply, but only draws as much flow as it needs. If you turned on all the faucets and hoses and taps in your house, you might draw so much flow that you exceed the flow capacity of your water supply, and so the provided pressure would drop a bit. I hope that makes sense.
Hello Matherbeckler,
Thank your for posting it. I like it a lot when you not only show the step, but also explain it.
One beginner question though, Can you add this kind switch to this project, I do see you add resisters to power up LED for indication. If possible, can you teach me how ? Thank you in advance. I just happen to have one and want to implement it into this project.
I have connect that button with motor test to see if it "works". connected as pic. however, in order to have motor running continuously. I have to hold the button firm.
On the other hand, I found another switch button. (see pic) connecting the motor as same as the Mac mini one. it works great with the motor.
My question is: Can can use this tiny switch button to connect the Power On(green) and Ground(black) ? Do we need to as some resisters?
Does anyone know how to implement the Mac mini one ? Thank you so much!
The Power On (green) and Ground (black) wires need to be continuously connected to keep the power supply turned on. Most computers (even a mac mini) have a "momentary pushbutton" for the power button. The computer motherboard detects that momentary button press and then connects the green and black wires to turn on the power supply. You'll need to do the same, by holding the green and black wires connected for as long as you want the power supply turned on. I don't think the mac mini button will work very well for your power supply, unless you add some extra electronics. You could possibly use some sort of latch to turn the momentary pushbutton into a push-on/push-off sort of button, you know? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)
It is not possibly to know how a switch works based on a photograph. You need to experiment to determine how the connections work. Are there only two connection points for that switch? Do you push the blue part directly in or does it slide or rotate in two directions? You don't need any resistors for the power supply on connection.
nice dmm, u an eev blog fan? if you havent heard of it check it out. I ask because your choice in meter is one of his recomended ones
Just an idea, but if you need a load to draw a small current on each voltage rail, could you not use an LED and an appropriate resistor to drop the voltage instead of these power resistors? It would act as a status light to prove each voltage rail is powered up.
Or would it not work due to the current being too low?
A "power good" status LED for each voltage rail is an excellent idea in and of itself, and they might even draw enough current. The whole "small minimum load" stuff is really black magic, nobody really knows anything except "this worked for my power supply", and really takes a bit of experimentation with your specific power supply in your specific use case. Some people use their PSU as a battery charger, so there is always a large load and no power resistor is needed. Most LEDs only draw a max of a few dozen milliamps, so that might not be be enough current draw to keep the mystery "minimum load" circuits happy :-) Good luck!
I would bet one could take the "black magic" out of it if they read the markings on the DC-DC converters and used google to find the data sheets.
Thanks for the instructable it helped me a lot with my PSU. One thing you forgot to mention, or it didn't apply to you, was that you have to connect the 3.3V brown sense wire to the 3.3V rail or else the unit wont turn on. Idk if this apply's to everyone but my unit would only turn on for a second then turn off when it wasn't connected. Also added a LM2596 buck converter in my unit so I can have a adjustable voltage output. I also used 5x 15Ohm 1 Watt resistors in parrell to get a comparable 5W resistor then I used another bundle of those 15Ohm 1Watt resistors and added it in series to have a total of around 10W at about 6Ohms.
Nice work, I like the blue light and the 7-segment displays. My PSU was so old it didn't have a 3.3v sense wire, so you make a good point that newer PSU will need that.
Lol my power supply is anything but new, I think. When I bought it the fan grill was completely covered in dust and I mean like a thick layer of it. But yeah I guess it varys with PSU. Also those aren't 7 segment displays its just a cheap 3 digit voltage meter, you can buy them in ebay.
have you ever attempted to count the little lines that make up the digits in your "cheap 3 digit voltage meter"... u might find that there are 7, matt wasnt wrong calling it a segment display. Next time try to understand some people know more than you...trust me when I say it takes a lot of effort to find something to like about your build but he did and yet, you give additude in return
have soldered a 25ohm 10watt resistor on my 12 volt rail since it has the most power.
but the resistor is getting too hot that i can't touch for long... is that normal? do i need to use a heatsink? or something else? please help..
Hello, good question!
Using Voltage = Current * Resistance, we know that 12 volts across a 25 ohm resistor results in 12/25=0.48 amps of current flowing through the resistor. The other important formula to use is Power = Voltage * Current, so 12 volts * 0.48 amps = 5.76 watts of power, that becomes heat in the resistor. Since the resistor is rated for 10 watts, you're not going to melt the resistor but it may get warm over time.
I wouldn't expect it to get too hot to touch, so perhaps the resistor has less resistance, and is therefore drawing more current? If I remember correctly, the wirewound resistors that can handle many watts usually have a large variance in the amount of resistance it actually has, compared to the "official" resistance. If you have a multimeter you can measure the resistance of the resistor by itself, or you can put the meter in current measuring mode, and insert it in series with the resistor and measure the actual current. Let me know if you need more info about how to use a multimeter for this kind of investigation.
If you could find a 100 ohm power resistor, that might work better. It would result in 0.12 amps of current instead of 0.48 amps. I really don't know how much current is needed for the minimum load, but I would guess that 0.1 amps would be enough. This would reduce the power burned as heat in the resistor down to 1.44 watts, so you could use a 5 watt power resistor instead of 10 watt.
I'm having a problem with one. I have the brown connected to the orange as it was in the plug, and the resistor on the red and grnd as it should be. But when I try to fire it up it will only spin the fan for a second and then quit. It won't stay running. Any suggestions? Much appreciated.
What do you mean by "the brown connected to the orange"?
Perhaps try moving the power resistor to a different voltage rail, such as 12v or 3.3v? Maybe your particular power supply needs the minimum load on a different voltage line? Or it needs a minimum load on two or more of the voltage lines? I've never seen any specifications for this sort of thing, so you might need to experiment with your power supply. Let us know if you figure out what's going on.
There was a brown wire piggybacked onto an orange in the 20 pin plug so I after removing the plug I tied the brown wire to an orange. Also, I've tried the resistor on the 3.3v, the 12v, and the 5 volt. Also tried two resistors. One on 3.3v and one on the 5v at the same time. I've set this one aside for now pending a solution. If I can figure it out I'll post my results.
TheLonesometoad, I was having the very same problem you were, but I was able to resolve it using two 10Ω resistors in parallel, on the 5v line. This gives me an equivalent resistance of 5Ω, and it seems that is enough for my power supply. I got the idea for this from matthewbeckler's reply to harshesh below. Hope this helps!
Why the extra fuses? I am sure I read that the reason converting psu's into desktop lab psu's is because of the built in protection they already have. I Am trying to convert a modern 535 watt into a desktop psu. I don't know how many wires I should join together being that my psu is much larger then all the examples I can find. I think if I joined them all together it would be far too much power possibly far to much wattage but my memory on the subject is very cloudly. Can anyone tell me how many 12 v wires I can safely join together?
Also, at least for me, the reason people convert PSUs into a bench PSU is because there are many old and cheap (usually free) PSUs that aren't powerful enough for a new computer, but still work perfectly fine and provide more than enough power for hobbyist needs.
Hello, sorry if this results in double-posting, but my first reply seems to have disappeared. The extra fuses are added to protect your load from over-current situations, and are not intended to protect the power supply itself (the built-in protection is to protect the power supply, not to protect your circuit).
A power supply like this is known as a "voltage supply". It creates the rated voltage (5v or 12v for example) and tries to provide as much current as needed by the load circuits. It can provide up to the rated load current (listed on the label on the side of the PSU). There's no danger of providing "too much" current, as the load will only draw as much current as it needs. If you join too-few wires, then you draw a lot of current, the individual wires might start to heat up, so I would connect as many wires as you can. It's sort of like how in your city's water supply, they provide water at a certain pressure, no matter if you use a little bit of water, or use a ton of water.
One thing that complicates the answer is that modern power supplies seem to have split their 12v rails into two or more "domains". Presumably this is because it's easier and cheaper to include several smaller 12v regulators than to include one giant 12v regulator. For example, take a look at the attached image, showing this power supply has three 12v regulators each capable of providing 18 amps of current. I'm not sure if the PSU would like having all three 12v domains connected together (they might fight each other). I'm not sure how to tell which domain a certain yellow wire belongs to, but you might be able to look at the circuit board in the PSU, and maybe the yellow wires are grouped together into two or three groups? Of so, I would feel somewhat confident in combining
Hope that helps, let me know if you still have questions.
Some power supplies won't run if there is nothing connected, and need a minimum small load to keep it from doing an auto-shutdown. It really depends on your specific power supply, so you must do some experiments to determine what your power supply needs. If you will always have some load connected, then you don't need the power resistor.
This original design used a single fuse on the ground wire, but that is a really bad idea. The better way is to put no fuse on the ground wire, and put a fuse on each non-ground wire (like 5v and 12v). I would use a fuse that can handle just a bit more current than you expect to use in your project. This way if something goes wrong and your project starts to draw much more current, the fuse will blow and prevent a fire or other dangerous situation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Graham Zusi will start weighing his offseason loan possibilities when the season's over. For now, Sporting Kansas City's star midfielder has his eyes fixed on the MLS Cup final berth that has eluded his club since 2004.
"I don't really have any thoughts on that right now," said Zusi, one of three players US coach Jurgen Klinsmann said should seek an loan overseas during the MLS break. "There's plenty to be done here. Even they have said, 'Don't focus on anything but your season right now.' I'll deal with it when it comes around. It's something that's in the future."
Zusi, who has six goals and a team-high eight assists for Sporting this season and two goals for the national team in World Cup qualifying, has already played in 42 matches in 2013 between MLS, international and CONCACAF Champions League action.
If Sporting go all the way to the MLS Cup final, starting with Saturday's East semifinal away leg to New England (8 pm ET, NBCSN), and Zusi keeps his regular spot that will be up to five more appearances.
Down time isn't on the list of things to which he's looking forward, though.
"I think this year, especially with [2014] being a World Cup year, I knew there wasn't going to be much of a break – maybe a week," he told MLSsoccer.com after Tuesday's training session. "But I think that's a good thing. I definitely don't want to take too much time off and be unfit and unsharp.

"The way this team views the offseason, every one of us comes back plenty fit," he added. "That's all I'm thinking about for next year, is coming back in shape. But yeah, if I can get some matches in the offseason, that'll be great."
Klinsmann also singled out Seattle's Clint Dempsey and Los Angeles' Landon Donovan – like Zusi, members of playoff-bound teams.
"I don't think that discussion should take place about any players at the moment, given the situation that we're all in at the end of the season, with it being playoff time," manager Peter Vermes said. "That's what MLS is all about: making the playoffs and then going on that MLS Cup run. So right now our focus should be on the clubs, and that's it."

The Artist Silent Film
December 5, 2011 by staff
The Artist Silent Film, When French director Michel Hazanavicius dared to imagine creating a silent film in the modern arena of filmmaking – one littered with 3-D and special effects and plenty of post-production technical tricks – everyone wanted to know: Why?
For Hazanavicius, this was an odd question. Why not ask "how"?
"I realized that people needed a justification for doing a silent movie," he told the Daily News in a phone interview. "That's why I finally chose to really use that and make a silent movie.
"The format attracted me first. The story came afterward. Telling the story of a silent actor in the silent era of Hollywood in a way seemed to make sense in the silent film itself."
"The Artist," a black-and-white romantic drama that harkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, has quickly gone from being an obscure French flick to a – no pun intended – quiet contender in the big leagues, receiving critical acclaim at Sundance and the Cannes Film Festival, among others.
Just last month, the film was even heralded as the Best Film of 2011 by the New York Film Critics Circle, and Hazanavicius was welcomed into the upper echelon of Hollywood's greatest directors with his Best Director nod, an honor that seals him into an elite group that includes Martin Scorsese, Danny Boyle and Woody Allen.
"There was a lot to work against," the director said of his initial uncertainty about the film's reception. "It's black and white, it's silent, it's French."
But it was a reliance on raw emotion and acting in its most basic form that really defined the piece.

The most significant entertainment event ever held in San Diego? It's easily the Beatles appearance at Balboa Stadium on August 28, 1965. Even in a city that hosted Elvis on the U.S.S. Midway and Abba at the San Diego Zoo, amongst many other cool happenings, the 30 minutes or so that the Fab Four stood on a San Diego stage is an event that stands out, still discussed amongst music fans and now studied by generations of folks who weren't even born when the concert took place.
On September 1 a free event commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles performance in San Diego, will be held in the Saville Theatre at San Diego City College, beginning at 12:50pm.
The just over an hour-long program will consist of historian and co-organizer Steve Thorn, providing a brief lecture on the non-music history of Balboa Stadium, followed by author Chuck Gunderson, who will give a lecture on the Beatles concert itself. Gunderson is an expert on the Beatles U.S. Tours and is the author of the essential book set, Some Fun Tonight, which covers every date the Beatles played in the U.S. in extreme detail. Making this a full multi-media event, closing the show will be top Beatles cover band, the Baja Bugs, featuring front man and bassist Hector Penalosa (The Zeros), lead guitarist David Fleminger (Manual Scan / True Stories), rhythm guitarist Ron Silva (The Crawdaddys), and drummer Nico Peters, performing the exact set list as heard at the original concert: "Twist and Shout," "She's a Woman," "I Feel Fine," "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," "Ticket to Ride," "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby," "Can't Buy Me Love," "Baby's in Black," "I Wanna Be Your Man," "A Hard Day's Night," "Help!," and "I'm Down."
"Chuck and I had been thinking about this important anniversary for some time," commented Thorn. "We are grateful for the World Cultures program at City College, who are sponsoring the event." Why wasn't this held on the actual anniversary date? "We couldn't do it on the actual date [August 28] because it falls on the first week of the new semester at City College. It's a busy time for the administration, faculty, and students," he explained.
According to Gunderson very little survives in the way of evidence of the show, which drew 18,000, though the search continues. "So far there are only a brief clips available online. There wasn't much promotion for the show at the time.
All the promoters really did was newspaper ads and radio ads, (on official promoting station), KGB. They didn't do any handbills or posters. The only thing sold at the show itself was the general generic tour program that was sold in every city in 1965."
The infamous KCBQ button was not official, but issued by the station along with a now rare poster, to boost ratings, despite the show being sponsored by a rival. It's a testament to just how big the Beatles' influence was that KCBQ even had DJ Lord Tim tape quick messages to Beatles fans for airing on their station in advance of the concert. "The AM radio wars of the mid sixties were huge. If you were able to sponsor the Beatles your ratings went through the roof," he said.
Gunderson actually has all the paperwork involved in the San Diego show, direct from the promoter. "Luckily, he was a pack rat. We have everything down to the receipt for the food: $33.96 for a couple of tubs of Kentucky Fried Chicken, some sandwiches and sodas," he laughed.
Thorn notes that the story behind San Diego's original downtown stadium has been largely forgotten. "I hope in my short talk that I will provide the audience with some of the magic that was Balboa Stadium. It was an important venue for live music and civic events." He points out that Balboa Stadium was constructed in 1914 for the Pan-Pacific Expedition. "The Stadium increased its seating capacity after the arrival of the San Diego Chargers of the American Football League in the '60s," he remarked. A plaque at the site is long overdue according to Thorn, "The Beatles only appearance in San Diego? A California State Historical Landmark project would be appropriate," he said.
So why does the interest remain in something that took place so long ago? It comes down to the songs they sang. "The Beatles created music that transcends the test of time," said Penalosa. "It is extremely positive, it is the "Happy Place" to go for millions of music lovers, young and old." He's confident it's a situation that will continue. "The past 51 years have proven the power of their music." Thorn concurs. "Their catalog has had an incredible shelf life. For the 20th Century, they were – and remain – a multi-generational force of nature. At Beatle conventions around the world, the whole family marches in: grandparents, sons and daughters, and grandkids. All for a band that officially checked out in 1970! Amazing."

My grandfather taught me to be honest. As a young child I remember being a passenger in his car and on our way home to my house. On the way he stopped at a local store to buy something. We were in the car ready to go and he noticed the change the clerk gave him was too much. Grandpa said he needed to go back into the store for a minute to return the extra change, so he walked back in, returned the extra change, and then took me home. I don't remember how old I was, but the memory of hearing him tell me that the clerk gave him too much change and then watching him return to the store to give the extra change back is as vivid today as it was over 50 years ago. A small moment in time for me, but a very valuable lesson was taught that day. I will always be grateful for his good example of honesty.
Aldred Erskine was born at Superior, Douglas, Wisconsin on 30 January 1896 (1). He completed grammar school on 30 June 1914 (2) and four years later filled out the WW I Draft Registration form (3). He served in WW I as a cook and was assigned to Camp Kerny, California (4). At the end of the war and while waiting for his discharge papers, he wrote a letter home to his Aunt. The letter (5) was dated 28 February 1919:
Dear Aunt:
Received your kind and ever welcome letter and was glad to hear from you. Am in the best of health and hope these few lines finds you the same. I haven't heard anything about my discharge yet, I expect to be out within a month anyway. I sure do wish I were home, this kind of life sure gets tiresome. I got a letter from home the other day, they are all well, only wishing I were home with them. It sure did make me feel blue when my brother left and nearly all of my friends from around home have gone also, well I guess my turn is coming some time. I signed the pay roll yesterday, expect to be paid Monday. When we are discharged we get $60 paid too us by the Government, that will help out a little bit. The time seems to pass so slow here waiting for my discharge to come, but sure will injoy [sic] it when I do get it. The Knight of Columbus are moving over close to us, they are moving in one of the mess halls just a few steps from my tent. It is nearly time for the mail to go so will close as ever yours.
Your Loving Nephew, Aldred
P.S. Give Jossie and all the rest my best regards. Love to all.
Two months later, on 24 April 1919, Aldred was honorably discharged (6). After his discharge, he returned to Provo, Utah and met a young lady named Frances Berniece Hartley. They were married 28 December 1920 at Provo, Utah (7) and then moved to California.
Aldred and Frances raised their family in Burbank, California. Aldred was a police officer for the City of Burbank (8). In 1935 he completed his Scout Master training and was awarded a certificate for the training (9). Unfortunately we do not know if he ever served as a Scout Master in the local community. He completed his WW II Draft Registration in 1942 (10), so we find him in both the World War I and II draft registration records. He loved the pies his wife made and often brought home his fellow-workers from the Police Department to enjoy a piece of pie. On 1 November 1951, Aldred officially retired from public service as a police officer for the City of Burbank, California (11). His monthly retirement benefit was $183.10, which continued until his death in 1964 (12).
My grandfather, Aldred Erskine, had a full life. I will forever be grateful for the lessons he taught me through the way he lived his life each day. Honesty will always be my special memory about grandpa.

Bhopal, Dec 3: Observing the 25th anniversary of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy, people marched through the city with torches before dawn on Thursday, Dec 3, demanding cleanup of toxic chemicals that still contaminate the soil and water here.
Hundreds of protesters shouted slogans like "Down with the government," and "Down with Union Carbide," marching towards the plant which became the site for one of the worst industrial accidents.
On Dec 3, 1984, Union Carbide pesticide plant released methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas killing over 15,000 people. However, local activists stress that the real death toll would be almost twice the government estimate.
Even after 25 years, toxins and chemical cocktails lace the drinking water in the city while children are born with birth defects such as brain damage, cleft lips, missing palates and twisted limbs.
And people of the country continue to be disgruntled over how government handled the victims of the tragedy and the case against Union Carbide.

|Why does she hate the earth
so much?
This anti-meat bias, of course, has found its way into the national Dietary Guidelines, which tout veggies, fruit, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. T-bones, not so much.
A paper from Carnegie Mellon, though, found that the plant-based stuff takes a greater environmental toll than the typical American diet. Adopting the Guidelines would increase energy use by 38%, water by 10%, and greenhouse gas emissons by 6%.
Needless to say, the profs expected to find the opposite.
While beef eating may indeed have a bad environmental impact--the amount of grain to raise a steer plus their methane-loaded um...farts, well, it does impact the biosphere.
Of course, the crunchies leapt on this immediately...oh no! The impact of different foods varies widely...Lettuce generates three times the greenhouse gases as pork. so maybe all this is sort of ...relative.
But one figure stands out--40% or more of fruit goes to waste...only 33% of meat does. Does that count for anything?
Mercifully, kale was not mentioned.
I see this as like the hybrid car or electric car thing--they run on electricity, true--but electricity runs on coal and natural gas...
Everything is a tradeoff.

Review by Gary-Bonn
I thought I had read every first-hand account of the Battle of Britain. For some mysterious reason family, extended family, friends and enemies think I like them and fill my bookshelves.This one came as a surprise. Written maybe fifty years after, the author wrote at a time the culture of the UK had changed and it was quite acceptable to talk about feelings, thoughts and emotions. The stiff upper lip had relaxed.That makes this book unique – and important.Yes, not many people understand the incredible inner battle that goes on inside you when forced to go by instruments alone: when every instinct tells you they are incorrect. Listen to your instincts as they scream at you that the horizon can't possibly be there, 'up' has to be the other way – and you're dead.Written from old notes and memories Geoffrey 'Boy' Wellum takes the reader through the height of the battle and out the other side – both you and he emerging in one piece though shaken, exhausted and with no little need for a pint of beer and a quiet stream to walk beside.He is breathtakingly good at taking you into the nightmare realm of emotions he experienced while in combat, learning to fly or flying in appalling conditions.Thank you, Geoffrey, for not only an outstanding read but also for the best account of the battle I've ever read.

On this day in 1985, Route 66 was officially removed from the US State Highway System, when it was finally and completely by-passed by the Interstate system.
Route 66 is probably one of the most famous routes in the United States and has been featured in fiction and the movies, including the animated movie Cars.
It was dedicated to Will Rogers in 1952, and the alternative official name is the Will Rogers Highway.
There are still some travellers who use Route 66 to cross the mid-west, as a history-soaked remnant of the late 20th century.

text: thanks for the advice in regards to the OTA HD/DVR. so it seems that i can record HD with either dish. this (if anything) complicates things. if i couldn't dvr my ota hd with one vs. the other it would have simplified my decision. what are benefits to dish vs. dtv? what are your opinions about the two systems. is one better than the other? again, thanks.

BOSTON -- Someone who heard the expletive Rasheed Wallace whispered as he roused himself out of the chair in front of his locker might have assumed he was thinking about his missed shots.
The 6-foot-11 forward missed 12 of the 16 shots he took Friday, including all eight of his 3-pointers. Any one of those shots could have changed the result of a game that was tied -- that he'd tied with a baseline jumper, actually -- with less than three minutes to play.
Through the end of the third quarter, Wallace was 1-for-9 from the field. He'd had opportunity after opportunity from behind the 3-point arc and had come away with nothing to show for it.
Wallace wasn't thinking about his shot, though. He was thinking about the result.
"I'm not worried about my shot right now," he said. "I do the same things every day, still, in practice. I get my shots up after practice. I'm shooting during practice. I'm not worried about it."
Coach Doc Rivers, too, had nothing in the way of criticism on Wallace's shooting. He shook his head in frustration when Wallace missed a 3-point attempt midway through the fourth quarter, his sixth straight miss from behind the arc, but Rivers insisted afterward that he didn't want his shooter to stop shooting.
"We had great shots, both Rasheed and Eddie [House]," Rivers said. "I think we would take the wide-open shots again. Eddie missed wide open once, Rasheed did, even Ray [Allen] missed a couple. We'll take those. I don't mind those at all."
Said Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, "There aren't going to be very many nights that Rasheed goes 0-for-8. He had some very good looks out there from 3 and didn't knock them down."
That's just how things go sometimes for Wallace. He hit six of his eight 3-point attempts Nov. 3 against Philadelphia but went ice-cold after that, missing 15 of his next 17 shots from behind the arc over a span of three games.
Not since 2006, though, has he put up eight 3-pointers in a game without at least one of them dropping through the net. He went 0-for-8 from 3-point range -- and 1-for-13 from the field overall -- in a late-February game against Chicago, but that at least was a game his Detroit Pistons won.
"Everyone goes through their slumps, no matter what it is, every now and then," Wallace said. "The heart of that player will determine how he plays. I'm not the type of player to let the 3s get me down: 'Oh, I'm missing a couple of 3s. I don't want to do this no more.' No, I'm out there playing basketball, and I'm not going to let that get me down."
As it turned out, Wallace actually sparked the Celtics' fourth-quarter rally. He scored back-to-back shots early in the quarter -- both at the rim rather than from behind the arc -- to cut the Orlando lead to three points, and his jump shot from the baseline tied the game at 78 with 2:54 left to play.
He also stymied the Magic's efforts to get the ball to Dwight Howard in the paint, deflecting entry passes on consecutive possessions as the Celtics clawed back. Paul Pierce turned the first steal into two points with a fast-break layup, and Wallace himself had a chance to give the Celtics a lead after the second steal. But he missed the 3-pointer at the other end.
With Kendrick Perkins limited to 14 minutes by foul trouble, including a technical foul that sent him to the bench for good in the third quarter, Wallace drew primary duty on Howard for much of the game. Orlando's double-double machine finished with 15 rebounds but just nine points -- including four points in the second half.
"You can't let him get that deep post," Wallace said. "Once he gets that deep post, he's [tough] to stop because he's so strong. He'll go up and dunk on your head. I just tried to push him out of the paint a little bit. That's all I did."
His defensive effort had to be his only consolation. Nothing went right for Wallace at the offensive end. But that was the last thing on his mind as he sauntered into the shower.
"I ain't even worried about it, honestly," he said. "It's good looks. I'd say I probably rushed about two or three of them, but other than that, it's good looks. It's just not going for me. I'm not worried about my offense now. It's still early in the season. I know I won't be shooting like this for the duration of the season."

We did enjoy our stay! Our daughter was getting married at the Ironwood Clubhouse in Anthem and it couldn't have worked better. We had plenty of room for guests and when the bridesmaid came for make-up and hair, we were able to have everyone and then some come to help. We liked the bedrooms set up the way they were, and the floor plan was fine for those that stayed with us. The only thing I'd change is that there are no locks on the main bathroom door, so we needed signs for people to know whether it was in use as there are two entrances into this main bathroom. Parking could have been problematic, but just around the corner is a place others could park if need be. Our stay was delightful and everything worked, including the washer and dryer, which helped a great deal!! Thank you for making our stay easy.
This property was well located in a community that is very sensitive to the residents needs. Access to retail is very close, and convenient. The home is well kept, and the amenities are perfect for a family. We had our children and their families visit, and enjoyed the pool and hot tub practically non stop. A couple of small issues when we got there, but nothing serious. A bit of a drive to Phoenix (about 45 minutes) but a bit closer to Sedona (a little over an hour). All in all, a very nice vacation for our family, in a family oriented area. Would not hesitate in recommending this property.
Lots of choice for bedrooms. Good size TV. Nice stove and Fridge. Lots of towel choice. The house appeared clean but some of the white towels were somewhat questionable. Not able to find a good sharp knife. No radio or any audio equipment. No DVD player. Suggested list of acceptable recyclables would be helpfull as well as a TV channel listing for the area. Nan the less, enjoyed our stay. Quiet neighborhood.
The house was perfect and since our family of eight went to the Grand Canyon, the location north of Phoenix was perfect. Very quiet and the neighborhood was very nice. The only thing I would change is for the home to have two T.V.'s instead of one. Overall, we loved the home and location.
Tim C.
This was a wonderful home for family. We were in Anthem to do a event. This house was perfectly located. Great pool, enough seating for all 6 of us.
This home was fantastic! We were 6 adults and had more than enough space to move around. The rooms were big and provided lots of space; same with the bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and most importantly, the house was very clean. Plenty of amenities provided throughout - lots of towels in the bathrooms and for the pool, plenty of towels in the kitchen, lots of dishes and cutlery, bicycles, etc. They even had frosted mugs in the freezer! Having the pool table was also very nice and provided lots of entertainment. The pool area is amazing! The instructions on how to work everything and heat the pool and spa were clear and easy to follow. Cushions for the chairs, pool floaties and toys were also provided. Having a BBQ outside was great! Location wise, it is a bit of a drive if you're wanting to spend a lot of time in the Phoenix area but the drive itself is easy enough to make. The house was easy to find and has easy access to the interstates and within a couple minutes drive to plenty of restaurants, gas stations, Wal-Mart, grocery stores and the outlets. Steve is great with communication and is very prompt with this responses. We had a great family vacation and would not hesitate for a second to come back to this house!
Anthem is only 30 minutes north of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. You will love the community feel of Anthem yet you are within 15-30 minutes to the Spring Training Facilities, NFL & NBA Stadiums, more than 25 golf courses, great hiking. Stay in Anthem and shop at the Outlet mall or go to Scottsdale for some of the best shopping in the Country.
Enjoy a day at lake pleasant only 15 minutes.

A columnist at Yahoo.com offers this segregation suggestion:
Citizens of color should have the choice to interact with cops of the same racial or cultural background.Am I missing something? Is that not racial profiling?
The writer suggests white traffic cops allow "citizens of color" (that's a new one!) the option to be confronted by a non-white officer; apparently one who best matches the skin tone or ethnicity of the colored citizen.
(Citizen of color!? Are you kidding me?)
Cultural Marxism make much ado about racial profiling, has the audacity to suggest that race is a social construct, then determines that racial profiling be mandated by white cops when they encounter citizens of color.
And what if the cop encounters and illegal-alien of color? Must the cop offer a non-citizen of matching color police officer to confront the suspect?
What if a skinny-ass citizen of black color who appears to be a tad bit effeminate is encountered by a fat-ass colorless macho cop? Must the officer radio dispatch to send a skinny-ass black homosexual to write the ticket?
See video below.
Once again, Kenn's Law #2 proves true: If liberals were logical, they wouldn't be liberals.
Such silly suggestions smack of [enter color here] privilege; making us wonder why the predatory left continues to propagate the white privilege myth.
Has it not occurred to the predatory left that citizens of color of particular ethnicities could resolve the issue simply by moving to a countries where their particular color and ethnicity are the overwhelming majority; say, Cameroon or Zimbabwe, for example?
And why is the predatory left so obsessed with race; then condemns websites like DailyKenn.com for being racists when we join the conversation?

When returning from a trip, users can add notes about what they liked or didn't like and create a memory of their trip. By rating trips from zero to five stars, users can sort their trip library by their favorite trips, keeping their most treasured travel adventures at the top of their list.
Users can stay on top of their trip through all stages of travel planning by using checklists to help remember important items before, during, and after a trip. As a trip is planned, users can keep track of all unfinished business by creating checklists for packing, shopping, or lists of things to do. When it's time to depart, users can print professional-looking itineraries to take with them or share with anyone around the world via email.

Since the first congregational meeting was called in first century Jerusalem to elect seven spiritually qualified men to serve as deacons and focus on deeds of mercy and kindness, the church has been committed to meeting the needs of those inside and outside the church.
Strike It Rich
The prosperity of western culture generates several reactions and emotions. Greed is always a temptation, but so is the other side of the coin: fear of what might happen if prosperity ceases. Those who are eager to get rich face many dangers. They crave the material pleasures and possessions that the world has to offer.
Serving in the Church: Prison Term or Delight?
Volunteering in your church's educational or women's ministry doesn't have to be a prison term. CE/P has three groups of trainers that can help you recapture your vision, supplement your efforts to encourage your co-laborers, and help set up a means for ongoing support.
Passing on the PCA Distinctives to the Next Generation
I believe our greatest challenge at this moment in history is to demonstrate a commitment to our distinctives and a willingness to give one another room for diversity.
Relevant Roots
One role of education, particularly biblically reformed Christian education, is to link together the past and present. Recognizing this link is important in order to understand where we are today. We cannot do that in isolation from the past.
Turning Events into Opportunities
The church must pull out all stops and do whatever needs to be done to reach the next generation with the truths of God. We have to go beyond the call of duty to communicate to our young people that we love and care for them.
