Here at Yellow Dog Flyfishing, we fully appreciate how tough it can be for many anglers to balance their fishing addictions with the vacation demands of a family – especially when kids are involved. If you're trying to plan a trip where you combine great fishing with a full-blown family vacation that works for everyone, then look no further. WE CAN make this happen! We handle hundreds of these types of packages each year, and we promise you that these kinds of trips do in fact exist.
The lodges and operations listed below offer totally legitimate fishing opportunities while at the same time catering to non-anglers and family members with a variety of fun and different activities and options. From babysitting services to kids programs to great adventure side trips and more, we promise that the entire family can enjoy a super-fun vacation at any one of the following operations. Here at Yellow Dog, many of us travel with young families of our own, which means that we visit these places ourselves AND bring our kids.

If you are reading this, you are in for one of the most unusual experiences that Virginia Beach has to offer. In fact, there are so many people like you that this museum has become one of the top-rated attractions in all of Virginia Beach, according to TripAdvisor.com.
Our guests come from all over the world to enjoy the sights, sounds and even the smell of the "glory days" of military aviation. Many of you grew up reading the exploits of military heroes and you've watched all the great aviation movies, but when you hear the thunder of a Merlin, Allison or a Wright engine coughing to life and then see and hear them throttle up, you are transported to an entirely different level of understanding of history.
The Military Aviation Museum is not just unique locally. How many other museums have you ever been to that have no velvet ropes around their exhibits? How many other places can you be this close to the action with planes, flying off of a grass runway, not even a stone's throw from your beach chair? How many places do you know of where you can picnic with dinosaurs?
Our mission is to help the generations born after World War Two understand exactly what Americans and their allies can and have achieved when they are called to action with a just cause. Each one of the airplanes in our collection tells a unique story about the men and women who designed them, built them, flew them and, all too often, died in them in order to very literally save the world 75 years ago.
We invite you to seek out those stories. Many of them are told in our program booklet. Some are on the placards in front of the exhibits. Many more stories can be yours by just talking to our blue or yellow-shirted volunteers as you enjoy walking among the airplanes.
If you enjoy your visit with us, tell your friends and neighbors about us and consider supporting us as a member of our Leading Edge Circle of donors, or even as one of our many volunteers. As a volunteer, there could be a ride in your future in a real P-51 Mustang. Ask anyone in a volunteer shirt how to make that happen to you!

Visakhapatnam, 16 Nov 2014: Mumbai teenager Ameya Bafna won the Karting Nationals for the year 2014 in the Senior Max category but his result was proclaimed as provisional owing to a protest which may change the winner in the premium category. Since the winner of the championship is expected to take part in the Rotax Max World Finals, it is important for the Indian Federation to announce the stewards decision in a few days time.
"The winners from about 70 countries will take part in the 15th Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals 2014 from November 25 – 29, and the winners of Junior and Senior category from India are expected to take part," said Akbar Ebrahim, chairman, Racing Commission, Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI), here on Sunday. The amazing track of Kartódromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero Chiva in Valencia, Spain will host the karting highlight of the year!
Meanwhile, Bengaluru boys Yash Aradhya and Ricky Donison emerged champions in Micro Max and Junior Max categories respectively in the 11th JK Tyre Karting Nationals, the 5th and final round of which concluded at the V-1 track on the Vizag-Bheemli beach road, here on Sunday, adds an official press release.
Aradhya, the 12-year old sixth standard student of Bishop Cotton's in Bengaluru, had a virtually untroubled run in the Micro Max final as he built an early lead starting from pole position and nursed it to the finish line to clinch the championship in style with his fourth win in five rounds.
The Junior Max final was bitterly contested as pole-sitter Donison was quick off the blocks and led until Kush Maini, having started fourth, caught up with him. The two Bengaluru boys fought tooth and nail until Maini made a fine move to go into the lead that he kept to the finish.
Despite the second place finish, London-born 16-year old Donison, a student of Bangalore International School, still clinched the championship, albeit by just four points while Maini finished second.
The Senior Max Finals saw Chittesh Mandody of Mohite's Racing snatching the lead from pole-sitter and team-mate Dhruv Mohite to win comfortably. Finishing second behind Mandody was Rayo Racing's Nayan Chatterjee who slipped past Mohite in the latter half of the race.
Staying away from the battle ahead, 19-year old Bafna kept his wits about him and seemed content to finish fourth which earned him sufficient points to claim the championship in his class.
Earlier, Aradhya pulled off another brilliant win in the Pre-Final to consolidate his lead in the class championship while Maini could manage only fourth following a racing incident he was involved in as Donison, Ravindra and Akash Gowda finished ahead of him.
The Senior Max Pre-Finals saw Mohite coming up with a late move on front-runner Mandody to win the race while Bafna, driving well within himself and with an eye on his championship, came in third.
The results: Finals – Micro Max: Yash Aradhya (MECO Racing) 1; Chirag Ghorpade (BPC Racing) 2; Paul Francis (MECO Racing) 3. Championship winner: Aradhya (196 points)
Junior Max (provisional): Kush Maini (Dark Don Racing) 1; Ricky Donison (BFC Racing) 2; Aaroh Ravindra (Rayo Racing) 3. Championship winner: Donison (183 points).
Senior Max: Chittesh Mandody (Mohite's Racing) 1; Nayan Chatterjee (Rayo Racing) 2; Dhruv Mohite (Mohite's Racing) 3. Championship winner: Ameya Bafna (Rayo Racing, 181 points).
Pre-Finals – Micro Max: Yash Aradhya 1, Arun S Nair 2, Chirag Gorphade 3. Junior Max: Ricky Donison 1, Aaroh Ravindra 2, Akash Gowda 3. Senior Max: Dhruv Mohite 1, Chittesh Mandody 2, Ameya Bafna 3.

Ever looked for a straightforward way to integrate you instagram pictures on your website? Without a plugin nor an iframe? Well this article featured on the NOE interactive's blog presents how you can do so with PHP.
It's a neat and simple solution that uses the instagram's API to get a particular users' latest pictures, and then display them in a ul list.
It is accessible to most developers as it is a "personalize, copy and paste" kind of solution. Just two steps are required, configuration, and implementation.
In this article featured on NOE interactive, you'll learn how you can install the solution on your website. There's a complete step by step guide as well as a demonstration. If you wish to download the solution, it's also hosted on Github.
If you happen to have on your site some pages that are a bit long, and therefore will lead your users to scroll down quite a bit to read your content, they may not have the patience to scroll again to get back up to the top. That's where this little plugin, hand made by NOE interactive comes in handy. Just put it on your website, and it will help your users get back to the top of pages with a single click, and with a small smooth animation (how nice is that :) ).
In this article featured on NOE interactive, you'll learn how you can install the jQuery plugin on your website. There's a complete step by step guide as well as a demonstration. If you wish to download the plugin, it's also hosted on Github.
WordPress list tables are a very common element of the WordPress admin interface. They are used by nearly all default admin list pages, and also often implemented by developers while writing plugins. However, creating one of those tables is not really an intuitive thing to do when you haven't done it before, and I've seen cases where people where trying to replicate one, with techniques such as using the WordPress CSS classes on personal markup, or even replicating the CSS from scratch.
In this article, we'll see how WordPress provides native functionality that can be used to generate some native admin tables. We'll have a look at a typical WordPress table and its different components, showing how it is possible to implement them the right way.
An image gallery is a very common feature for a website to have. It is an efficient way to nicely present a set of pictures. With the increasing popularity of JavaScript plugin, image galleries are nowadays implemented with rich features, effects, and transitions, in order to emphasize the given content.
When you wish to create a picture gallery, there are several steps involved in the process. In this tutorial, we will see how you can set everything up, and then add, remove, or edit pictures in your gallery, in a simple and dynamic manner. Finally, we will explain how we can setup the jQuery lightbox plugin in order to work with our pictures.
What are the benefits of this solution? This methods is sooo easy to setup, but still achieves quite a lot. Little efforts, great rewards. You only have to put your images in a folder, and give that folder path to the class. You also tell the class how big you want your pictures to be, and it handles all the hard work for you. Just by calling a method, you can see your gallery on the page. So if you are looking for a fast and convenient way to put an image gallery on a site, read on.
PayPal is a renowned payment platform that allows you to accept online payments on your site, by taking care of all the money transactions for you. This transparency really is an appreciated quality that allows developers to integrate checkout solutions on merchant sites, by completely outsourcing the banking operations to PayPal.
Another good thing for developers is that the PayPal API is very versatile. It can be very simple if your needs are simple, or it can be very well customized to meet some more advanced needs such as complete shopping carts handling. On the other hand, I sometimes find this API not really user friendly as it works with forms, which fields are not always very intuitive. In other words, depending on the form you are building, you get a different service from PayPal.
In order to get a friendlier and also more generic solution, I wrote a PayPal manager in PHP. This tutorial will show you how you can benefit from this PHP class to integrate PayPal checkouts faster and in a much simpler way.
WordPress and jQuery are both very famous for their plugins. In the case of jQuery, plugins allow developers to extend the library's capacities in order to create beautiful effects. In WordPress, they allow anyone to benefit from the work of others, as they come under the form of a module that you can easily activate from within the administration interface, and start using right away.
Creating one of those modules is not that difficult, but if you are not familiar with their syntax, it could end up being a headache. There are many jQuery plugins that have been transferred into a WordPress one already, but what can you do when it is not the case? How do you do when you have found the perfect jQuery plugin for your latest site, but it is not yet available as a WordPress plugin?
In this tutorial, we'll see how you can easily create a WordPress plugin from a jQuery one. We'll review what a jQuery, or a WordPress plugin is actually made of, so we'll find the elements they both have in common. From there, we'll show how it leads us to perform some simple operations to allow us to benefit from our jQuery plugins in a WordPress template.

On Saturday, May 16, Philadelphia will play host for a third year to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's spring bash, Preakness at the Piazza*. Guests are gearing up for a fashionable viewing of the 140th Preakness Stakes, set to take place at the Piazza at Schmidt's in Northern Liberties. Last year's party drew a crowd of 1,200 Philadelphians and raised over $117,000 for the National MS Society – and this year, those numbers are only expected to go up!
Multiple sclerosis is a disease, sudden and often disabling, that affects the central nervous system; the symptoms of which can range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. Most people with MS are originally diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, and 2-3 times more women than men are diagnosed. MS symptoms can range greatly in severity, but its origin cannot yet be predicted, which makes the information and research surrounding this disease crucial. It affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide and 15,000 people locally. In 2014, the National MS Society invested over $50 million to advance more than 380 research projects around the world to put an end to MS. All net proceeds from Preakness at the Piazza will benefit this cause.
The party will be taking place from 5 to 9:30 p.m., during which the Preakness Stakes will be airing live on The Piazza's 400 square-foot LED screen. In addition, guests can enjoy a delicious buffet of food, open bar with libations from Tito's Handmade Vodka, contests and raffles, music, dancing, and fun-filled memories. Fox 29's Alex Holley and 97.5 The Fanatic's Pat Gallen will be this year's official hosts!
Of course, the most fashionable event of the spring season would not be complete without a best dressed contest. There will be a total of five fashion contest categories, including overall Best Dressed Female and Male, Best Couple, Best Hat, and Best Shoes.The winners will receive a gift certificate from local stores such as Boyd's Philadelphia. This year's slated judges are Eva Pilgrim of 6ABC, Philadelphia Magazine's Bryan Buttler, former Miss Philadelphia Francesca Ruscio of PHL17, President of Philadelphia Academies, Inc. and First Lady of Philadelphia Lisa Nutter, and Men's Style Pro Founder Sabir Peele.
Still in need of an ensemble to wear to Preakness? Guests will be dressed to the nines in sundresses and floppy hats, colorful bowties, and seersucker suits. If you're still shopping for accessories, Christine A. Moore Millinery and Duke & Winston are the official hat and bow tie providers for Preakness at the Piazza. 10% of every hat sold for the event will be donated to the MS Society, as well as all proceeds from the custom, limited edition Preakness-themed Duke & Winston bow ties. For dress and suit ideas, the Shops at Liberty Place houses tons of retailers, and are a Preakness at the Piazza sponsor.
Tickets for the biggest spring season event in Philadelphia are on sale for General Admission ($75) and VIP ($150), with discounts for couples and groups. For more information, please visit www.preaknessatthepiazza.com. For updates on the event as the date gets closer, stay connected on Facebook at facebook.com/PreaknessatPiazza

Beat Bullying News
Please be aware of the Cyber Mentors website – this is the site that all students have access to via their student portal at http://www.neale-wade.net/. If any student wants a safe social networking site or expresses a need to talk to someone they can use this site directly. We have trained cybermentors in the College but the site goes beyond just Neale-Wade – it is a nationally recognised site. Please see the contents of the most recent Beatbullying UK newsletter – the driving force addressing the ever growing problem of cyberbullying.
February 2010
"You can speak out now"
On 14 January, we launched an uncompromising £1.2m advertising campaign for CyberMentors, depicting a teenage girl sewing her mouth closed to symbolise the way victims feel silenced by bullies. Our partnership with Google saw the advert, produced by award winning agency M&C Saatchi, go live on YouTube's homepage, where it's already been watched over 100,000 times. A poster campaign has started on billboards in cities and schools nationwide, whilst the advert will shortly be shown in cinemas thanks to another partnership with Pearl & Dean.
The advert called for children to seek help and visit cybermentors.org.uk – and within 10 days of its launch online, over 17,000 young people had done exactly that.
However, the advert was refused permission to air on TV by Clearcast, causing much debate and some fierce responses from a lot of people, encouraging us to appeal against the decision. On 27 January, the issue reached the House of Commons, where the Rt Hon Anne Maguire MP tabled an EDM calling on Clearcast to reconsider its decision to ban. And on 3rd February, Clearcast thankfully lifted the ban. So even with a post-watershed limit, we are confident of reaching millions of young people to encourage them to speak out against bullying.
Finally, whilst we're on the subject of advertising, look out for a range of CyberMentor posters that have just gone up in JD Sports outlets across the UK!
"Click Bullying into Touch"
Beatbullying's "Click Bullying into Touch" campaign with the News of the World continues to go from strength to strength, with features running weekly. We are demanding a firm response from the social networking industry and a formalisation of intent by all political parties to rise to the challenge of protecting our children from bullying and child-on-child violence.
We are asking for:
• Social Networking Sites to take responsibility for offensive posts and work to remove them within 6 hours
• Senior teachers to be appointed in schools to take responsibility for anti-bullying policy and be a single point of contact for families
• Funded anti-bullying policy to be a fixture in all political party manifestos
• A Schools' Safety Bill making it against the law to bully a pupil or teacher in or around school
Thousands of people have already signed up, including organisations such as Action for Children, Barnardos, YouTube, the NUS, The Children's Legal Centre, Facebook, The National Self Harm Network and the National Autistic Society.

Safer Internet Day this year falls on the 9th February. It's an important date in the calendar this year as cyberbullying is an increasing problem for many young people. We have worked hard throughout 2009 to support our sector friends in raising awareness of internet safety, and this year we have developed two new lesson plans with the support of our training partners Google and a poster with our partners CEOP.
Follow the SID link on our home page to find the resources.
And as if we weren't busy enough…
Just a few weeks into 2010, and Beatbullying has already seen the arrival of many new faces! We have a new counsellor focusing on LGBT bullying thanks to generous funding from Children in Need, new online counsellors and moderators, new interns and a whole new programme, Re-Sync. We signed a volunteer partnership with John Lewis, and our YouTube channel hit 1.5 million video views – 1.5 million people helping us beat bullying!

I thought it would be neat to squeeze things together. After I did that, it seemed like there needed to be a bold weight. Now that I've done that I think the "V", "W", "X", "Y", "v", and "w" seem a little out of place. Maybe even the "m", "n", and "r". I like the characters on their own, but just not sure they fit. Hum, maybe even the "G", "3", and "4". The compact version needs some kerning, maybe that has something to do with it…

I've debated for a while now on whether to talk about this on my blog just yet.
I reached out to a few friends and opened up about it, told family, entrusted those who I thought would be supportive of us no matter what. And, since my Instagram and Facebook posts have kind of come across as a bit down-trodden the last few days, I thought maybe it was time to talk about what's going on.
Our pediatrician and child psychologist believe that Noah may have Aspergers.
For those who don't know what that is, it's a form of high-functioning Autism.
I hesitated to share this because we still don't have an official diagnoses. But, because a) this is my blog and I can say what I want to; and b) some of the people that I thought would be in our corner and supportive as we walk this unknown road have proven us wrong; I needed to get a lot of this off of my chest.
And putting it out here for all of you to read, is a relief all on its own.
So…here's what we do know:
- Noah has severe anxiety.
- Noah has moderate to severe sensory processing issues/disorder.
- While he gets along with other children, he prefers to be around adults and for the last several years has latched onto one specific classmate and rarely associates with any other children.
- He is obsessive about three things: sharks, dinosaurs and football.
- He can catch a football and hit a baseball, but he can't ride a bike or a scooter and he can't dribble a basketball.
- Reading is very, very difficult for him. Tears are shed almost daily over reading homework because he doesn't "get" it.
- Likewise he excels at math because he says numbers are easy.
- Noah was very delayed in walking, talking and potty training.
- While he can speak fluently now, his enunciation is still not where it should be for a seven year old child.
- He throws tantrums. And please don't tell me that "he's a child and all children throw tantrums" because I know that. These aren't typical childhood tantrums. These are hold him down because he tries to hurt himself tantrums. Tantrums that have in the last several weeks brought about strep throat thanks to the screaming, broken glasses when he threw things. In the past he actually busted the door frame at the dentist office when he couldn't figure out how to open the door. These are not typical 6/7 year old child tantrums.
- I vaccinated my children. And so help me God if one more person shows me an article on autism being caused by vaccines or asks me if that's what might have caused it, I can't promise how I will react. Keep your opinion about that to yourself. Because I will block you/unfollow you on Facebook. No matter who you are.
And just a note for those of you who believe that, that's fine well and good. We all have opinions. But, before you go sharing articles that slam parents who choose to vaccinate their kids and blaming them for their child's condition, take a moment to consider how a mom who has an autistic child and DID vaccinate may feel reading that.
- My child is not stupid. Or incapable. Or slow. Or whatever stigma you place on children with difficulties.
- Likewise, your child isn't better than mine because he/she is excelling at something. And rubbing that success in? It's kind of rude.
- We have received more support from public school teachers and staff since we learned of this possible diagnoses than we ever did at Private School last year. Please don't tell me that he wouldn't be having trouble if he were in a private school setting. Because, well, that's kind of stupid.
Much of my stress has come from the tantrums that we have been dealing with the last three months. Many people, family included, had just deemed Noah as a "difficult" child or a "strong willed" child. That's not what is going on. It took forever to get the support and the backing of a pediatrician because all we heard, like many who I have talked to, was that "he would grow out of it."
There are things that make Noah seem like any other child. But what you see in public and what goes on at home are very difficult. You don't see the slamming of his fists and kicking of his feet when he doesn't understand something. Or when the wrong kind of hot dog is purchased. Or when his lunch box falls over and spills the contents on the floorboard of the backseat.
You don't see the tears when he comes home from school upset and heartbroken because the children at school picked on him because he couldn't figure out how to cross the monkey bars. You don't see the heartbreak when a little girl tells him that he needs to apologize for being ugly because he doesn't understand that sometimes everything that he thinks is fun and interesting isn't interesting to someone else, and he gets upset.
My husband and I have read books upon books and done plenty of studying. We are in the "testing" phase…where we are waiting for all of the appointments to finish lining up to get the "official" diagnoses.
Our main focus right now is getting answers. No matter what those answers are.
We know that we can handle whatever situation comes our way. I have more faith than I ever have because I have had to. The days are very, very difficult. The emotional toil of watching your child struggle and not being able to help him wears me out. The physical aspects of having to hold him and cradle him to soothe him, are draining. Listening to the screaming and the shouting and the crying is nerve wracking.
So some days, like these last few days, it gets to be a bit much and I cry. And I drink more coffee than I should. And I have to take an extra pill or two for my anxiety (don't worry I'm allowed).

How does the Lord of the Flies by William Golding reflect our society?
- print Print
- list Cite
There are many ways in which to answer this question, as there are many different themes in the book. In light of this, I will give you a few ways in which the book reflects modern society.
First, Golding plays with the ideas of civilisation and savagery. He tries to show that all people have differing degrees of both. He also suggests that the impulse towards savagery is more basic in people and that society holds people in check. This is a profound point, as we can see this dynamic in our society in many ways. Think of all the protest of last year in the Middle East and the Occupy Wall Street.
Second, Golding also plays with the the ideas of morality and immorality. There is a fine line in this area as well. This, too, is an important point, because we see that both morality and immorality are part of all people.

Little did anyone know when Regis Philbin left "Live with Regis and Kelly" what seeds he would sow.
The show, now called "Live! With Kelly," has featured a series of co-hosts since Philbin's departure last year.
The latest name picked out of the hat is Kim Kardashian, Page Six reports.
"I'm so excited to reveal that I will be co-hosting 'Live! with Kelly,' with the wonderful Kelly Ripa on January 23!!" La Kardashian typed on her blog.
January 23 is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year 2012, some experts have predicted, even without factoring in Kardashians.
"I've been wanting to share this news for weeks now!! I can't wait to see Kelly! Xo," Kardashian added, plumbing depths.
Page Six surmises that the TV date may signal the return into our lives of Kim, who has mostly laid low since the divorce fiasco with Kris Humphries.
The Wrap.com says that Kim and Kelly will interview "Glee" star Kevin McHale and that Kim will "dish" on the upcoming season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — As the San Francisco 49ers ride a five-game losing streak, the franchise is fielding criticism from a surprising source.
Lisa Debartolo, daughter of former 49ers owner and Hall of Famer Eddie Debartolo, seems to have made her opinions known Tuesday afternoon via social media.
A Twitter account that appears to belong to Debartolo retweeted two articles critical of the team, including a San Francisco Chronicle story titled, "Losing has become 49ers' new normal" and a piece from Santa Rosa Press Democrat columnist Lowell Cohn called "Jed York has to go."
The 49ers are currently riding a five-game losing streak and have not had a winning season since 2013.

Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Issues Decision on Mandatory BMPs in Missisquoi Bay Basin
Vermont's Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross issued a decision last week that denied a petition from the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) to impose mandatory best management practices on farms in the Missisquoi Bay Basin. The decision did, however, direct the Agency's Agricultural Water Quality Program to accelerate its agricultural water quality compliance and enforcement activities in the Missisquoi Bay Basin.
Last May a petition filed by the CLF sought to impose mandatory best management practices (BMPs) for water quality on farms in the Missisquoi Bay Basin that are "critical source areas" as modelled by a 2011 Lake Champlain Basin Program study. In July a public hearing on the petition was held in St. Albans, VT – that provided extensive testimony and comment. Secretary Ross considered the study a guidepost for on-going water quality work, but ruled that the data did not provide an adequate regulatory rationale to impose mandatory BMPs in Missisquoi Bay Basin.
Ross concluded that the actions sought by the CLF would not be consistent with the EPA's continuing process for water quality improvement under the federal Clean Water Act. That process establishes a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Lake Champlain. Additionally, his decision notes that there are insufficient resources available at this time, to help the basin's farmers to achieve compliance with mandatory BMPs, as required by state law. The full text of the decision can be accessed at: http://agriculture.vermont.gov/clf_petition
"The written decision speaks for itself. CLF's initiative and the hearing process, in which stakeholders on all sides engaged in thoughtful and civil discourse, demonstrate why Vermont is a special place where we work together to address mutual concerns. CLF has pledged, on the record, to assist stakeholders in seeking additional resources devoted to agricultural water quality improvement." ~ Vermont Secretary of Agriculture, Chuck Ross

Direct deposit allows your employees to be paid automatically out of your bank account without you having to write a check. Our direct deposit users love the time it saves, and the best part is there is no additional charge for this service!
Please note that we are currently updating the application procedure and it may vary slightly from the below instructions.
There are two aspects of setting up direct deposit:
- Set up the bank account that will be used to pay your employees.
- Set up your employee's bank account to receive their pay check.
Please ensure that you begin this process 7 days before your employees need to be paid. Why so early? It can take up to 3 days to make verify and establish the connection to your bank account. Also, the transfer of money from your bank account to your employee's bank account will take 4 days.
If you need to approve a payroll immediately, you can do that too! A lot of Wave customers write checks to their employees for their first payroll (since you're often on a tight schedule!) and use direct deposit once approved.
Set up the bank account that will be used to pay your employees
- Click the Setting option on the left menu, select Direct Deposit under the payroll header, and click Get Started. By selecting this button you are agreeing to Payroll by Wave Terms of Service.
- On the Direct Deposit page, enter the following information:
- Personal information of the owner of the bank account that will be used to pay your employees – name, address, birthdate and Social Security Number (SSN) or Social Insurance Number if Canadian (SIN).
- Business information: How long have you been in business, what type of business it is, your business name, the business' legal name, the business phone, and website
- Banking information for the account you will be paying your employees from. Enter the Routing and Account number, which you can find on your check as shown below or you can get by contacting your bank. Check the box when you are ready to agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and then click Save and Continue.
- This will take you to VersaPay's page to enter your information on their site. Once you are finished entering the information, review all of it very carefully. If any of it is incorrect, click Edit payment details. If it is all correct, click Approve this Debit Agreement.
- After you confirm the agreement, VersaPay will send you an email to validate your account. The email will have a subject line 'This debit agreement is awaiting bank account verifications."
- *The Tricky Part: Once you receive the email from VersaPay, within 2-3 days, VersaPay will make a small deposit in your bank account. Once you see this deposit, you need to log in to VersaPay and enter the amount in order to finish your direct deposit set up. The log in link will be in the email they send you to validate your account. Want to know more about VersaPay? About Wave's relationship with VersaPay.
The VersaPay transaction should have the description VersaPay BUS. If you don't see the transaction after a few days, or do not have access to online banking, you can call your bank and ask them for the deposit amount.
While you are waiting for the deposit from VersaPay, you can move on to setting up your employees for direct deposit. Or, if you need to pay your employees today you can skip ahead to Step 5: Entering Employee Hours and issue checks for this first payroll while waiting for direct deposit approval.
Set up where your employees want their pay checks deposited
- Click on the Employees navigation and choose the employee you want to set up by clicking their name.
- Click Direct Deposit from the left menu.
- Enter all of the information for their bank account.
- Click Save to update the information entered. Tip: You can come back and edit this information any time.
You've done all you can do for now! In a few days, you will validate your account with VersaPay then you will be ready to pay your employees with direct deposit.
As mentioned previously, if you need to pay your employees today, you can always approve a payroll and write checks. All that is left to do before you approve the payroll and write checks is to complete Step 5: Entering Employee Hours.

Model Building Tips
Tom Washeck writes
These notes are reminders for me if I ever decide to build the Merry-Go-Round Model again.
Erector Set Used
- A restored (Per Greenberg's Guide, 1959 Contents List) "No. 10083 Amusement Park Set"
Instruction Manual Used
- A 1959 Master Builder Manual, Section A, M3974, 58
Finished Size
- Base = 18 3/4-inch x 19-inch (Without 5 1/2-inch x 5 1/2-inch Sound Effects)
- Outside Diameter = 18 3/4-inch
- Height = 22 3/4-inch (23-inch With Flag)
- Wood Platform Needed
- With Sound Effects, a 24-inch x 30-inch looks symmetrical and centered, especially with the additional set of steps I built. (see note 18)
- Approximate Completion Time, including base and sound effects – 35 hours
In the notes below, ** indicate missing parts or inaccuracies in the instructions.
General Notes
Base and Mounting of Model
1. When building the Base, the use of the two MB-18 1/2-inch angle girders instead of overlapping DP 12-inch angle girders with BE 6-inch angle girders to mount the motor provides more stability.
2. Using four CH right angles to attach the MN 12-inch base plates to the MD 2 1/2-inch x 5-inch base plates at the perimeters provides greater stability BUT you will not have enough CH right angles to complete the project as instructed. (See note 8). Using M small double angles for this purpose will work.
3. For modification of the base, see note 6
Center Section Assembly
4. Motor and Drive Train – The Merry-Go-Round must rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the top. Remember this when setting up the drive gears. Grease/oil the motor and gears before mounting the T boiler because it is very difficult to do afterwards.
5. Attaching BN Turret plates with CH right angles to the inside of both ends of the T boiler is no mean feat. One end can be done easily with a long screwdriver. Using internal toothed lock washers (not supplied) under the screw heads with a nut holding the screw to the "to be" Turret side of the internal CH right angles allows the placement of the second turret plate over the screws and the subsequent ability to add and tighten a second nut onto them from the outside.
6. The arrangement of the four C 10-inch girders, as shown in Figure 2, is lop-sided and does not provide a good rigid support to keep the Boiler, and therefore the drive axle, from wanting to wobble. The addition of an MF 1-inch x 5-inch base plate across the upper left end (compare Figure 2 in the manual with Photo 1) between the angle girder and the 12-inch base plate will allow the four brace girders to be attached at 90 deg. from each other, providing much greater stability. There will be one MF base plate left over from making the upper outer ring, see note 7
Top of Model
7. ** The outer top ring only requires 12 MF 1′ x 5-inch base plates instead of the 13 noted in the instructions. See note 6. The construction of the outer top ring and the inner bottom ring, done by overlapping, is a trial and error process to balance the overlaps for weight distribution and getting the best relationship between the four rings for subsequent connections between the four rings. Note: The outer top ring ended up with 116 holes around the circumference and the inner bottom ring had 78 holes around the circumference. There will be 8 square girders attached. Therefore, they cannot be evenly spaced around the rings. It is trial and error to arrange these so the columns do not lean too badly. Note the center right hand girder in Figure 1 of the manual and also see note 15.
8. I assembled the top cone, made from E 5-inch curved girders, a BN turret plate and a pierced disc, as instructed. I found that it was difficult to arrange the 8 CH right angles around the pierced disc and that I would still need the four CH right angles I had used to stiffen up the base plate, see note 2, to attach the cone to the outer top ring. Not wanting to take the base apart, which had now been screwed down to the wood platform, to retrieve the right angles, I used four M small double angles to attach the 5-inch curved girders to the turret plate. These double angles had to be slightly twisted to evenly space the girders but I believe I will be able to straighten them out when I take them apart. I also decided not to attach the cone section to the outer top ring at this time as it would be a nuisance to work around while assembling the main body of the carousel.
Driving Mechanism
9. ** When it came time to assemble the driving mechanism, I only had one pierced disc instead of the two required. Four BT pierced discs come with this set. One was used on top of the boiler, one was used at the top of the "cone of curved girders" and one was used in the center of the four B 5-inch girders bracing the inner top ring. Two possible solutions arose. The first was to disassemble the top cone and use that pierced disc, replacing the pierced disc and turret plate with a CR Special turret plate with hub. Using this turret plate with the small center hub would make it easier to properly mount and orient the CH right angles but I would still be short by four. I didn't want to take the base apart to retrieve the remaining four angles, see notes 2 & 8, and besides, I had already mangled four double angles. A second reason was that the small hub of the special turret plate is only pressed/crimped into the center of the turret plate. I was not sure whether this connection would be sturdy enough to withstand the starting and stopping force of the rotating carousel and whether the turret plate, supported only in the very center, would hold the entire weight of the carousel as it would do by design. (See note 16) I took the cowards way out and stole a pierced disc from another erector set that I fortunately had.
10. Upon assembly of the driving mechanism and its installation, I found that the design's reliance upon the set screws of the pierced disks for weight support, rotational motion and spacing of the components, could use some improvement. While support of the weight is essential, the spacing of the driving mechanism and the inner top ring is critical as it effects both the meshing of the pinion gears with the crown gear and the free rotation of the axles that lift and lower the horses. These axles must pass under the inner top ring of CS wheel segments and through a partially covered slot in the C 10-inch girders and there is very little clearance. I picked up some nylon spacers at my local hardware store from those little drawers of specialty parts. The use of 3/4-inch long nylon spacers (3/8-inch O.D. x 0.171-inch I.D; the axles are 0.154-inch O.D, or just under 5/32-inch diameter) between the crown gear and the driving mechanism and between the driving mechanism and the brace for the inner top ring, hold the relationship between the pinion gears, the crown gear and the top inner ring at a fixed distance without relying on the set screws to hold the weight. These spacers, along with two others (see note 16), transfer the weight through the boiler, motor side plates and angle girders directly to the wood platform, removing the weight of the rotating carousel from the P48 Mitre Gears in the motor drive train. The set screws now only have to transfer the rotational motion from the 12-inch drive axle.
Assembly of Horses
11. ** The use of an H 11 hole strip instead of a G 7 hole strip provided full support and proper height for the stationary horses.
12. ** The instructions call for the use of four 8-inch axles for the guides of the horse's vertical movement. Only two 8-inch axles are part of this set and one is used for the main drive. This set does contain four CZ 7-inch axles and these work well.
13. **The instructions and picture for the installation of the seats is not correct. An MC 1-inch x 2 ½-inch base plate is too long to fit between the C girders and allow the P79 car truck to be screwed directly to the outer bottom ring. I found that the use of a G 7 hole strip was necessary to secure the seat bottom to the outer ring.
14. At this point, I attached the top cone section to the outer top ring of the carousel, and set the main body of the carousel onto the 12-inch drive axle. Adding an 8-inch axle to the top of the existing 12-inch drive axle with a P15 coupling now completed the rotating carousel. I also used a P15 coupling above the top of the U-boiler top to keep the plastic top from rattling. The remaining 5/8-inch of the 8-inch axle allowed just enough room for the Erector flag.
15. The horses just barely fit between the square girders and when they move sideways as part of their motion, the rear feet may hang up on one of the protruding 7/8-inch screws holding the square girders together. This explained to me why one of my original horses had a "broken" leg. I gently rolled the horses across the edge of the table to make them curve slightly inwards. This small amount of curve kept the rear feet well behind the square girders, avoiding further damage. As noted in note 7, one of the spaces for the moving horses may be even narrower than the others and a deeper curve to this horse may be required.
Final adjustments
16. I decided to continue my idea of using nylon spacers for supporting the weight of the carousel. I used a 5/8-inch long nylon spacer to fit between the brace of the inner top ring and the P15 coupling, and 4 5/8-inch of spacers to fit between the top of the coupler and the bottom of the top hub. This arrangement now allows the entire weight of the carousel to be transferred to the base. I even removed the set screw from the pierced disc at the top of the cone section so that all of the rotational motion is transferred by the main 12-inch drive axle. The use of a CR special turret plate with hub in place of a non-existent fifth pierced disc, (see note 9) would work but these spacers are themselves an addition to the contents of the Amusement Park set. The only resistance to the rotational motion provided by the drive axle is the points of contact with the lowest spacer as the other spacers move with the carousel. I put a little grease on both ends of all the spacers anyway.
17. The carousel revolved easily but there was a great deal of jerky motion of the horses. Two causes were found. The first was that the axles for the pinion gears had quite a lot of lateral motion due to the sloppy fit of the axles in the holes of the 21 hole strips of the driving mechanism. This allowed the pinion gears to be pulled sideways and bind on the crown gear. The second cause was the rotation of the collars on these same axles at the point where they passed through the 10-inch girders at the edge of the raised grooves, causing the collars to hesitate as they try to move out and over these grooves on every rotation. I removed the collars from the axles at the girders and attached them to the outer holes of the OG formed 21 hole strips with additional washers under the screw heads to keep the screw from contacting and freezing the axle. Passing the axles through these collars almost eliminated any lateral movement. The addition of 1/4-inch nylon spacers between the pinion gears and the inside edge of the drive mechanism's 21 hole formed strips and pushing the axles inwards to just make contact with the nylon spacer around the drive axle now held the axles from moving in or out, keeping the pinion gears centered on the crown gear. (See photo 2) These two "modifications" eliminated the need for the collars at the girders and resulted in a fairly smooth rotational movement of the carousel and of the vertical movement of the horses.
18. **I assembled the sound effects kit and attached it to the motor. I had to steal a P15 coupling from another set as I had used the second, of the two supplied, at the top of the cone (see note 14). This coupling was necessary to add a short axle from the P-13A566B rubber coupler to reach, and attach to the motor. From left over parts I built a set of steps from three MC 1-inch x 2 1/2-inch base plates, two ME 1-inch x 4-inch base plates and the MD 2 1/2-inch x 5-inch base plate which works out well at the corner of the model base. I decided not to use the MX house because it is out of proportion and could almost be used as a hat for one of the horses.
19. ** At completion of the Merry-Go-Round only, I had 7 extra 1/4-inch x 8-32 screws and was short by three N21 nuts. 32 nuts were used on the 7/8-inch screws holding the square girders together and approximately 12 more were used as lock nuts on the moving horses and boiler. Taking into account some of my own modifications requiring additional nuts and screws and using paper brads instead of nuts and screws to mount the horses, the number of screws and nuts supplied with this set would be insufficient to have built the Merry-Go-Round and the sound effects simultaneously. Fortunately, I was able to use the additional screws and nuts needed from another set.

When I was a kid building with my Erector set I didn't like the sharp corners on the N21 nuts — I thought they were painful to work with. After I bought my 10 1/2 set from Marion Designs I discovered I didn't like them any better as an adult. So one of the first things I did when I got interested in Erector again was to go to the hardware store and buy several boxes of 8-32 hex nuts and an 11/32-inch nut driver to tighten them with. I still use the N21s where a hex nut won't fit, such as assembling CS wheel segments, but for general assembling I use the hex nuts.
Appropos of screws and nuts, keep in mind that 8-32 machine screws are available in many lengths besides those which Gilbert provided. Particularly useful is the 3/8-inch length, useful for putting together 3 or 4 girders.
Finally (for now anyway), many of you are aware of this but some may not be: the MB 18 1/2-inch angle girder is just the Meccano part 7A. Gilbert added this to the Erector lineup when he bought out American Meccano. So, if you need these, you can get them brand new from Meccano parts dealers such as Joel Perlin (www.erectorsets.com). Also, Meccano part 7 is the same thing but longer: 24 1/2-inch, which can be used to make a super Parachute Jump or Hammerhead Crane.

I have a suggestion for running Erector motors using the small stub axle at the rear of the motors. This axle can be driven by a modern, 6 or 12 volt motor thus enabling the 110 volt motors to be driven at low voltage for public displays etc. It may even bring a new lease of life to worn out motors of run those safely where the mains lead is frayed or worn and saves the cost or replacing it. These small; motors are about $12.00 NZ and would be even cheaper in $US. Details of my trials with erector motors to date are online at my flickr site should your members wish to view it http://www.flickr.com/photos/meccanohig/5729324614/in/photostream/

.001-.002 brass foil can be used to reduce the slop between an axle and its bearing. In may cases I have found axle wobble to be a real problem, especially when say a single BT is used and two CJ's must mesh and track well.

Here are some of the things that I have found to enhance erector sets.
Ladder chain and sprockets can be found in obsolete copy machines–check with a copy machine repairman. Also sprocket chain and sprockets that are about half the size of bicycle chain can also found in them as well as miniature ball bearings etc.
These miniature ball bearings would be of help if you build a working model that will need to operate in a display for a number of hours. Sometimes you will find those small ball bearing stamped housings to be compatable with hole spacings on erector set parts etc. Clear scotch tape or pop can aluminum can be used to "bush up" a shaft to fit the bearing for the above. This way you will prevent hole elongation in the erector parts themselves.
Also to be found in junked copy machines are proper size cable drums, several feet of very miniature cable which works quite well on the erector pulleys, and 110 volt miniature fan motors. The shaft of the motor usually has an easily removed plastic fan blade and if the shaft isn't quite the right diameter, a good hobby machinist can machine a small pulley wheel for it. Someone with good sheet metal cutting and filing abilities can easily make the end frames to somewhat resemble the original 1916 batery powered D.C. motor.
There is a hand punch holder at harbor freight with various sizes of punches that work quite well for punching holes in replica erector parts.
I have also found that the spray paint cans from Wal-mart make nice looking boilers when the bottom is carefully cut out and the nozzle is carefully taken out of the top. The label is cleaned off, one coat then of gray primer and then a coat of shiny black.
The more squat cans of shaving cream make nice boilers for an erector horse drawn fire engine–preferably using the 1916 stamped spoke wheels with o-rings for tires.
Dave Ware writes
To keep a string drive belt from slipping, tie the loop with it only around one pulley and around the axle of the other pulley. Put a drop of Elmers on the knot. When it is dry, trim the ends of the knot and stretch it over the pulley.
For heavier loads, use pulleys made from 2 BN Turret Plates and a BT Pierced Disk. Tie the loop slightly smaller than needed and glue the knot. Put rubber bands in the slot of the pulleys. If done right, the motor will stall before the string slips. Slightly looser will allow the drive to slip a little at the start up and shut down and serve as a sort of clutch for high inertia models.
MV Flat Car Trucks can be made by flattening P29 Car Trucks. Go easy or you will end up with 2 pieces.
NM 10-inch by 2-inch Flange Plates can be made from MN 12-inch Base Plates. This requires hack sawing them to length and clamping them between 2 pieces of wood to make the bend.
Do what Gilbert did: Make O Pawls by bending F 5 Hole Strips. (Some O Pawls have a hole at the bend and some don't) Make NL Bolster Brackets from H 11 Hole Strips. Make NN 1-inch by 2-inch Flange Plates from ME 1-inch by 4-inch base plates (or cheaper shortened MF 1-inch by 5-inch base plates). Of course, P20 5 Hole Strip Formed, OG 21 Hole Strip Formed and NS 41 Hole Strip Formed can be made from their namesakes.
A small rubber band wrapped around an axle with a washer next to it can substitute for a P37 collar.
Washers can be used on axles to keep gears or collars from rubbing on the sides of gear boxes or other axle supports. Several of them can be used to keep a gear or pulley in place when there isn't room for a collar.
If holes in overlapping plates don't line up well enough to get a screw through, use an awl to align them.

I believe that no new license is needed. All that needs to happen is for the company to require copyright assignment contracts before they'll accept larger contributions. Depending on the terms of the contract, they can ask you to give them the right to relicense your code in whatever way they choose. Including as proprietary software. [The FSF requires this, but the assignment binds them always to release your code as free software.] I believe that's what Netscape actually wanted for Mozilla, but they were too lazy to require legal paperwork, so they couched their intentions in a license (the NPL/MPL) which sucks because we now we can't mix their code with GPLed software and redistribute. :( If, on the other hand, they licensed Mozilla as GPL, but said ``if you want to get larger contributions into our archive, you have to assign their ownership to us,'' everything would be peachy. It's that implicit consent in the NPL that really turns me off. I wouldn't ever adopt Mozilla as my primary project. The same goes for anything that isn't GPL. Call me a selfish bastard if you want, but I like the idea of destroying companies that rely on non-disclosure to make their profit. The basic fact of the matter is that the GPL is the lowest-energy license in existance that preserves the freedom of the software (freedom as defined by the FSF), no matter how it is derived. Any other license either has more restrictions than the GPL does, or else doesn't preserve the software's freedom. I'd say that the GPL is both ``necessary'' and ``sufficient'' for total software freedom. You know that when a binary includes GPL-licensed code, it's either free software or the distributor has violated copyright law. If it's illegal, it's pretty easy to threaten the distributor into making it free software. I don't think that TrollTech actually *wanted* to make Qt into ``real'' free software, but they had to choose between making KDE legally questionable (because parts of it were pure GPLed, not written by the KDE authors who could add special exceptions to their license) or making Qt free. Fortunately for all of us, they made Qt free. I think if the situation had persisted, and people got mad enough, the KDE folks would be sitting with a couple of lawsuits on their hands from upstream authors who didn't want to relicense their GPL code as ``GPL, but you can link it against Qt if you want''. That'd be bad press for free software, and I'm glad TrollTech helped the KDE folks avoid it (even if they both caused the situation in the first place). I'm also happy about this because just a few months ago, MindTerm (a Java implementation of the SSH protocol, http://www.mindbright.se/) was under a lame not-for-commercial-use license, but then the author wanted to use a GPLed Java class, so it was quickly relicensed as GPL. Viral. Effective. I like it. The LGPL is a close second, but it requires more energy, because when a program includes LGPL-licensed code, you aren't guaranteed that it's actually free software. If the above Java class had been under LGPL, I'm sure MindTerm would still be not-for-commercial to this day.

I think that's just nitpicking at a detail that's entirely irrelevant.
Welcome to politics!
The ability or desire for memorization does not imply intelligence.
There's nothing stopping you from watching porn on your iPad. Maybe what you're trying to say is that there is no native application that will stream porn due to the app store's policies?
There's a big gap between the former and the latter. I don't have any native applications on my desktop to watch streaming porn either. I either use my browser (which an iPad has) or I use a media player to watch saved files, which can be done with iTunes or other video players on the iPad. The whole iTunes ecosystem actually makes it very easy to have podcasts and porn sync'ed without any extra work. The closest thing to not being able to watch porn on the iPad is lack of Flash, but in the case of video there are apps to deal with that too.
It would be simpler if you just said "I don't like Apple" or whatever your personal stance is, rather than throwing pasta at the wall and seeing what sticks.
When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

As more data keeps coming what is apparent is that the economy did not live up to the perma bears expectations. Go back and see last six months worth of news and opinions , it was full of doom and gloom. Inverted curve, housing lead slowdown, economy already in recession and you name it, every scary scenario was convincingly bandied about.
Now that actual GDP numbers are out expect the perma bear cheer leaders to offer no mea culpa, it will be more of how the data is manipulated and how it is one vast controversy. The fact remains average traders and investors like to read more about scary scenarios than about making profits. The number one ranked blog by readership in the Value Wiki list (if you forget the blog aggregator Seeking Alpha)is the most bearish and consistently wrong for years.It is a fascinating glimpse in to investors and traders psychology. Negativity is more popular.
The more important thing to learn from the last six months is the importance of earnings and earnings expectancy. While the negative chatter was predominant the earnings were double digit plus forward guidance never indicated gloom and doom. In fact several times the Zacks commentator pointed out that there has never been a recession when earnings were double digit and projected to be double digit. Earnings drive stock prices. That is one of the reason the big speculators spend millions of dollars on earnings based research and analyst who has consistently good record of projecting earnings is respected in the market. Any macro or big picture analysis which does not take earnings trend in to account is strictly for birds.
At the current stage the market continues to be stuck in range and looks likely to stay there for some time. Leaders like AAPL, GS, GOOG, etc. are not rallying on earning news but going in to range. Much of the action has shifted to small caps and new sectors.
Yesterday I talked about "Significant Moves" in my obscure post about a stock which made 1500 % move in last 260 days. Can the significant moves concept be used to build a profitable system which can significantly outperform the market......
Coming later: How to find a stock which makes 1500% move in a year
You would not want to miss this simple strategy based on the significant move concept. Yet another completely free and simple system which few would ever trade and you will know why later when I talk about it.

I've been bearish in setniment for quite awhile, although I have been trading like a bull and will continue until the market turns. The real bearish argument is that the Fed isn't killing inflation because they fear housing, but the rest of the economy is growing at something like 6% when housing and auto are stripped out. That's why I've got a position in floating rate funds. A Fed hike may be the next move.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) September 03, 2015
"All over the world. people lose their lives because they do not have access to anti-venom," said an inventor from Westminster, Calif. "My invention can better serve snake-bite victims in remote regions. It will allow snakes to be milked safely so that anti-venom is available."
He developed the Snake Milker to make it easier to milk venom from a snake. The unit is designed to protect the individual milking the snake from being bitten. It allows anti-venom to be produced more conveniently. The device ensures that anti-venom is available for snake-bite victims in remote areas. This helps to save lives. Furthermore, the invention is easy to use.
The original design was submitted to the Orange County office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 14-OCM-892, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Top Ten Ores That Should Be Added In Minecraft
The Top Ten
Actually, rubies and emeralds were going to be added to Minecraft together. They had the same look, just different colors of ore. There were going to be ruby weapons and armor... But someone working on the addition of emeralds and rubies was green-red colorblind (? ) and so the people decided to only add emeralds. (Trivia obsession over here oops)
I'm born in July so rubies is my birthstone so it makes sense that it needs to be added 100%. I've heard that instead of rubies, they put emeralds.
Ya the rubies should be added in that's one smart brain you have
Rubies are one of the best gems in the world! Why not put it in minecraft, they could be like emeralds for trading with villagers, and making tools.
It would be niceV 28 Comments
Well for one thing I'm part of the SkyDoesMinecraft fanbase and the gem in the amulet on his skin is an amethyst. Also I'm born in February and my birthstone is the amethyst. AMETHYST ALL THE WAY!
Amethyst all the way I was born in February too so I love amethyst's😃
I LOVE PURPLE plus I need good armor. All of my armor is leather dyed purple or diamond armor that MUST be enchanted (I struggle when I mine for diamonds) if you can make mods with purple and ferrets please do it because I am too lazy to make mods
Yes this should totally be added because I'm 99% sure there is no purple gem in Minecraft. It wouldn't be very confusing, and it's worth the addition- but I don't know what it would do. I don't think it would work for armor.
Ruby looks liek redstone and sapphire looks like lapis lazuli. Amethyst is completely separate. - Juan-LuisV 15 Comments
I was born in September, so DUH!
My birthstone and my favourite colour and this was my favourite before I even knew my birthstone was sapphire
This gem is pretty. I love the way it is
Pretty blue!V 12 Comments
I think platinum should be a bit more common than diamonds, but in smaller quantities and has extra enchantment capabilities, like either it has a better chance of having more than the regular amount of enchantments, or it has its own special enchantments, or you can enchant it multiple times.
Platinum should be in between iron and diamond and platinum should be less rare than diamond but rarer than iron
I agree Platinum
Stronger than iron... Less than diamond on armor
Rarer than diamond less rare than emerald
Here are my suggestions
-usually found in group of 3-4
-only found in 40 Y and below
-sword that deal more damage than diamond (maybe 9 or 10) but have durability that of iron sword
-when used in anvil with sword of any tier it has random chance of getting sharpness 2
-armors less than diamond but is more durable than diamond
-when mining platinum has random chance of dropping platinum nugget alongside platinum ore
Yeah! Actually, ruby ore exists in minecraft... If you have imagination! Sapphire? Again. IMAGINATION CRISIS! Emerald? In the game but 1000 times rarer than diamonds. Think about it. Copper? Um let me think... Um... Ugh! Nothing for copper. More value than stone less value than iron. I don't agree that it SHOULD be added, but it would be cool! NICE SUGGESTION!
Copper + tin = Bronze? Coal + iron = Steel? It could be similar to runescape. and tin could be rare in every biome but common in plains. Where I live tin is common but the rest of the entire world has rare deposits of tin. - Harri666

I to would be cool to have copper ore in Minecraft. it would be nice to have copper wire instead of the bulky redstone that could save space when building a machine.V 10 Comments
A tier between iron and diamond.
This definitely should be better than diamond, no question, great idea!
Mythril would be WAY better than diamond...
Better than diamond LOTR FOR THE WINV 2 Comments
It could be a way of killing things! Place a block of uranium within blocks of it and it's health starts to decrease, or you could put it under a water source block to produce heat and steam, so you could have saunas or more realistic baths
It could be depleted to become depleted uranium for very strong tools and armour.
I want uranium to build a nuke
We need it. I want to bomb the Minecraft earth.V 8 Comments
How about silver ore spawns only in the nether (for a change) and wither skeletons spawn with silver swords... Silver would be less common than nether quartz and is a little better than gold, and more durable too.
If they have gold, they need to have silver. don't forget the werewolves. AWESOME SUGGESTION
Silver is the best
First add guns to mc pe then add silver bullitsV 7 Comments
I was not born in October but I love this color
Very awesome imagine the armor...
I think it should be added because Opal look awesome
Same here and its epic too!V 3 Comments
The Contenders
I think it would be cool to have rainbows in the sky after it stops raining. A rainbow block is a cool idea- but seems kind of out of place in Minecraft. It would be right at home in the Aether mod, though.
This would be pretty and awesome
You should also have rainbow block, it would be a cool building material

I would love this maybe build a house out of it
My birthstone but I wonder if emerald is a birth stone
My birthstone too, I'm in!
It's my birthstone duhV 2 Comments
A beautiful dark blue gem. About the strength as iron.
I really like that idea.
I know there's mods with Uranium and Plutonium so I figure add it with Vanilla Minecraft instead of mod packs like Tekkit (Tekkit is awesome though)
Maybe you could craft ender pearls from this?
Have you ever SEEN Zircon? It's a beautiful amber colour... I think it would be a great addition to MC. My opinion... I just think it would be interesting... what would you be able to make with Zircon!?!? Oh, this is getting me excited!
Zircon comes in a variety of colors, notably being white, clear, amber, and blue. - Juan-Luis
A way to make a Jewlery table, we already have gold, a gold chain with this gem on it! Awesome!
Citrine is my favorite gem!
I spelled it wrong.
Think of it in the superman mod
Hey, notch knows about sky, so why not? People could stop saying "It's butter, not gold." because it wouldn't! This would be butter, and people can call it butter, while gold is gold.
Okay but how about instead of mining it we make a butter churn and churn the milk and then it turns into some butter? And if you have enough then you can make a block out of it?
Screw butter ore. Would be the most useless thing ever.

Titanium is not as rare as you might guess - it's actually the fourth most abundant metallic element in the earth, after aluminum, magnesium and iron.
It is just very costly to make - Joah
Titainium ore should be white white is cool to me

Applied BioCode, Inc. has combined "digital barcodes" with "immuno- and molecular chemistry" to create a new, bio-inspired Barcoded Magnetic Beads (BMB) technology. This patented BMB with biopolymer composites and multiple layers of structural configuration, allowing the barcode (4,096 available barcodes) to be easily scanned and accurately identified with no ambiguity. The biopolymer composites offer not only bio-compatibility, but also long term stability for immuno- and molecular chemistry. Furthermore, because the fluorescence is detected at a steady state, the variation of the fluorescent signal is minimal, which is crucial for quantitative assays, such as protein analysis. This breakthrough technology significantly improves the identification and throughput capacity of in-vitro diagnostics.
• Digital Multiplexing: Outperform analog (dye) multiplexing; no microflow cytometer is needed
• Universal Platform: for both proteins and nucleic acids
• Flexible Targets: Add-on more targets any time
• Speed: All-in-one assay
• Batch-to-Batch Consistency: well established and highly reproducible semiconductor process
• Low Fabrication Cost: BMB bio-polymer
• Low Assay Cost: Use ~1/100 of assay (protein) materials compared with conventional ELISA
Optically bar-coded beads are mass produced at low cost by well established semiconductor processes. These beads are functionalized with nucleic acids, proteins or other probe molecules, allowing highly multiplexed assays to be carried out in homogeneous or heterogeneous media.
