[ edit]Since when do nu-metal bands use blast beats? Neither of the bands listed have their usage mentioned on their respective page. I removed the reference fr now - if someone can confirm nu-metal bands use blast beats do re-add it Spearhead 15:59, 23 August 2005 (UTC)Listen to the track People = Shit by Slipknot, or Three Nil, also by Slipknot and try tell me Joey Jordison does not use blast beats, in Slipknot which is classified mainly as Nu-Metal. User: Kit Fallapart 22:16, 20 September 2006""Blast beats are a prominent feature of death metal, black metal and grindcore, although they make appearances in other genres from time to time"" should cover that. It's not a main feature of nu-metal. Spearhead 16:53, 20 September 2006 (UTC)---It tould be awesome if some one could add a .ogg blast beat demonstartion.-- The_stuart 22:30, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)I'm fairly positive that Napalm Death's first drummer was Mick Harris not Mitch Harris. If I'm wrong, please undo my changes.-- User: Macho Not the first, but at least he's the drummer. Mitch is the guitarist (unrelated) Spearhead 21:37, 1 May 2005 (UTC)Do what???? Should be performed with one foot for the best effect. I'm no drummer, but since when did anybody play a snare with their feet? -- Camembert What's more, what is the 'point of retribution'??? Is this a drummer thang??? quercus robur I didn't even notice that - sounds like tremendous fun (for somebody), whatever it is. -- Camembert I made a bit of a cleanup, but am unable to contribute more as I'm not much of a metalhead.-- Furrykef 05:02, 15 May 2004 (UTC)I think that the wording ""torrents of alternating snare and bass"" is confusing. If the bass and snare were played alternately, would this not be the 'bomtish' beat that is often played by a wide variety of metal bands (thrash etc. especially). I have always held blastbeat to mean where bass and snare are played simultaneously. I also read in an interview with derek roddy that blastbeats originate in extreme jazz, and many of the players could play the beats far faster than many metal players due to their skill.--Anon BLAST BEATS [ edit]Takin' It To the Streets, by the Doobie Brothers. Now that song is catchy. Blast beats are the torrents of alternating snare and bass which increase the speed of death metal at the point of retribution.

Blast beat tab [ edit]If someone could add a tab or notation of a blast beat like on D-beat, that'd be great. — Quirk 23:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)Removal of ""Notable artists"" [ edit]Spearhead has repeatedly removed artists who who ""notable artists"" (supposedly, I'm not sure, It's not my favorite genre of music). Is this vandalism and personal preferences, or are these drummers actually NOT notable artists. Both Spearhead and users adding artists, such as dbftz, seem to be contributive, productive users. Evan Seeds (talk) 16:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Many drummers are repeatedly added to this list by mostly anonymous users... for many of them I'm not even sure they use blast beats at all. Hence I slammed the comment in article to discuss additions on the talk page first. So I am quite aggresssively removing drummers from this list (as well as other of these controversial lists) Spearhead 16:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Alright, fair enough. I'll trust your discretion then. Evan Seeds (talk) 22:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)Umm, how about instead of randomly removing all drummers, you instead just check out the drummer to see if they actually are a death metal drummer? Just removing all notable artists would be like removing all bands from the list of notable death metal bands, just because they ""might not even be death metal."" Isn't the fundamental assumption with Wikipedia that generally, people do the best they can to post accurate information? If we can't trust this, what the hell is the point of an encyclopedia which anyone can edit? (unsigned)Certainly Vaders drummer, who I added, should be on the list -- Pop Up Pirate 08:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)There are many drummers that can play blast beats, however not all of them contributed something to the technique or application thereof. This list should grow to cover all of these drummers, but just the crucial ones. If you want such a list of all drummers that play blastbeats, start List of drummers that use blast beats. Spearhead 11:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)I added Attila, one of the earliest documented examples of a blastbeat in a song/instrumental. It is as provable as anything else on this page and deserves inclusion as it is possibly the first blast beat ever played. It belongs in the history section. User: Kit Fallapart 22:19 20 September 2006is it? I never heard it referenced as a blast beat inspirtation. And AFAIK it's never been cited as a source of inspiration for blast beat drummers. Also ""Jon small"" ""blast beats"" doesn't find any articles... and blast beasts and attila seems only to find articles linking to Mayhem. Spearhead 16:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Ok, I re-added Fenriz of Darkthrone and added Varg Vikernes, the reasons are that both have used blast beats before some bands that appear on the list. Darkthrone is obvious, but before you start asking ""why Varg?"" Well, listen to his first Album (Burzum), blast beats are used there and that album is older than some bands mentioned on the list, and since Burzum/Darkthrone are considered to be of the most influential Black metal bands, I really think they should be on the list. Cancerbero 8 20:11, 13 January 2007 (UTC)And so I re-removed them. Neither are key artists and Varg isn't even a notable drummer; the fact that they do use blasts doesn't warrant inclusion. Only drummers that added anything substantial to the technique / style should be here on the list, not every drummer that uses blasts. Spearhead 21:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC) Your need to keep it so confined and control it (which is ridiculous) makes the list itself seem unnecessary to be included in the article and you'd likely do better to consider splitting it out entirely in a new article just as you suggested above. Especially since you aren't providing adequate reasoning behind your iron-grip on the section in order to keep a majority of the artists that comprise the list currently, aside from Mick Harris, Charlie Benante, Alex Hernandez, Flo Mounier, Pete Sandoval, Max Duhamel and Dave Hollingshead who actually are mentioned in the body of the article. -- 75.2.60.123 06:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)I am not adding such a list as I doubt that it would be a valid category acocrding to WP policy and I don't see any need for it. But I won't stand in any one's way to create it. Second, like I said before, the list is not intended to be an indefinite list of all drummers that use blast beats, simply for the reason that that would be thousands. What is listed here are drummers that actually contributed to the technique/style - maybe few are more in the category good examples. My reasoning for inclusion is simply - provide actual reasons why the should be included in the list. Putting in ""hey drummer X uses blasts"" or ""band Y is very popular"" or ""this band is really old and uses blasts"" are simply not very good reasons. Like what happened on the similar article death grunt we can put up a voting here as for whom to include. Spearhead 16:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)The name ""key artists"" causes confusion, because you're saying ""only those that contributed to the technique"" doesn't mean that those who use blast beats in all of their songs shouldn't be included. I had re-added Fenriz because all of Darkthrone songs have blast beats, since their first album to the newest one, I mean, have you even listened to the Transilvanian Hunger album for example? ""Key artists"" should be a guide for people to listen to a song by certain band and understand what blast beats are if they don't actually understand the terminology used or don't want to listen to the sample file or whatever, what if they listened to ""The pestilence that walketh in darkness"" by Cryptopsy because Mounier is mentioned a lot in the article? Darkthrone is not only a popular band, but they have more albums than some of the bands mentioned AND they use blast beats in ALL of the songs; and how have some of the bands there contributed to the technique? If you really want to keep this list only with the artists YOU want, then at least mention in the article that your list includes only those who have helped the technique, not only being pioneers in performing it. Cancerbero 8 01:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)""Key"" means ""essential"" or ""fundamental"" which rather different from ""uses all the time"". If that would be the criteria... this list would become really long. If you want to point ppl to listen to a sample... include a sample (which there already is) Spearhead 16:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)John Longstreth should be on this list, it's really funny that you seem to think otherwise while maintaining that ""Only drummers that added anything substantial to the technique / style should be here on the list"". Frost from Satyricon should be on his list, because he plays extremely tight and very fast beats on many albums, especially on Rebel Extravaganza. blobtick This section should be removed... There is one user who keeps on keeping the artists he thinks are notable and removing those that the other people think are notable... This is completely stupid, just remove the list... Those who are important are already mentioned on the article...-- Cancerbero 8 01:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Current picture [ edit]The tab in the picture does NOT depict a blast beat but rather an ordinary double time drum beat. A blast beat has a snare hit every 8th note, i.e. 8 snare hits in a 4/4 bar. The picture needs to be corrected or removed. - Quirk 20:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Removed. If someone has Sibelius or a similar tabbing program please feel free to add a correct tablature of a blast beat. - Quirk 20:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Technical definition? [ edit]

However, from what I've heard as a drummer, and what seems to be common knowledge among drummers, a blast beat is generally constant eight/sixteenth notes or triplets on the bass drum with a normal back beat pattern on the cymbal and snare, which contradicts the article's definition. Is there any 'official' source of which is which? -- Evan S e eds (talk) 05:02, 28 May 2006 (UTC)It's ok, I've made the correction. Sepul^ 13:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Sound sample/Technical Definition [ edit]The .ogg file posted here definitely has the blast beat backwards. The vast majority of blast beats alternate between the bass drum/cymbal and the snare, with the bass drum/cymbal coming first. It's like a polka beat played at a ludicrous speed. Some drummers play a double bass drum roll underneath the cymbal and snare; others simply hit the bass drum, cymbal, and snare at the same time as fast as humanly possible. I've also seen several drummers switch hands while going into blast beats so that their stronger (usually right) arm will hit the snare at the same time as the bass drum. Very few, however, play blast beats with the snare/cymbal leading before the kick drum, as it is in the sound sample on this page. Although there are some drummers who play it this way, it's pretty far from being the norm. I think most drummers would agree that, while there are many different ways of playing it, the most common blast beat consists of rapidly alternating kick/cymbal and snare hits-- not the other way around.there seems to be a lot of confusion about a technical defnition of a blast beat. distinguishing between the euroblast and the u.s.-blast might bring some clarification. as far as I have experienced it, the more european style of blast beat is the one with cymbal and base together and the snare syncopated. the u.s.-stile is base, cymbal and snare toghether. listening samples of euro blast is practically all black metal (emperor, keep of kalessin, etc. ), a sample for u.s.-blast would be Arsis or most american, especially tampa bay death metal. to create what has been called a ""wall of sound"" the u.s.-blastbeat requires more speed (since the sincopated snare of the euro-blast makes it even at 160bpm seem really fast). the term euro-blast and u.s.-blast should not divide the metal/grind scene into two fractions but show the slight differences of the interpretation of what a ""wall of sound"" is. plus, both styles are used in the u.s. and europe.the .ogg sample would be a backward euro-blast. The December 2007 issue of Modern Drummer has it notated as bass+ride and snare alternating. It goes on to give a few other examples, but the european style is essentially described as the basis for all methods. Thedarxide ( talk) 16:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)Beastie Boys ""Riot Fight"" [ edit]thats right, you missed it! !Iron Maiden? [ edit]The title song off of Iron Maiden's self titled released in 1980 utilizes a blast beat, making it among the first significant uses of it; the song, recorded onto that album in 1980, was written earlier and was featured on Maiden's Soundhouse Tapes, which were recorded in 1978. Iron Maiden was not only a large influence on the 80s metal scene, but did reach some fans in the hardcore punk community, which might indicate that D. R. I. among many others were inspired to use blast beats by them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.47.42 ( talk) 00:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)Where in the song do you hear this?

We should fix this! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.251.142.68 ( talk) 07:16, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Baker and Moon [ edit]This drum pattern seems to me to be identical to that performed live by Ginger Baker in SWLABR and Keith Moon in Happy Jack, both of which were often played much faster live than on the studio versions, and both of them predating 1982 by a good deal. Check out You Tube for some appalling recordings of awesome drumming of the period. (Or perhaps I'm just showing my age.) Andrewa ( talk) 18:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Youtube isn't a reliable source for this sort of thing (for example, you couldn't say ""Ginger Baker and Keith Moon both played blast beats live<ref>Youtube</ref>""). But if you found a reliable source discussing their playing as incorporating blast beats live, that could probably be added. Mr Moustache MM ( talk) 00:39, 1 February 2012 (UTC) Agree, we should not update the article just on the information I've provided (otherwise I would have!). This is just a start, a heads-up that there's a possibility that the current article is wrong or at least misleading about the technique dating from 1982. What it actually says [1] is Daniel Ekeroth argues that the blast beat was first performed by the Swedish [ [D-beat]] group Asocial on their 1982 demo.<ref>Ekeroth, p. 22.</ref>. This is presumably a reference to Daniel Ekeroth 's book Swedish Death Metal [2]; The ref should also be fixed. I'm almost tempted to fix the ref at least, but really shouldn't as I'm guessing and haven't sighted the book. It looks as if this claim, ref and all, has been cut and pasted from another article, and the ref refers back to an earlier, fuller reference to Ekeroth's book in that source article, which unfortunately didn't come with what we now have. If we could find the specific edits, that would probably provide some valid reasons for fixing it. But then, I also wonder how reliable Ekeroth is on the matter of the origins of the technique? Andrewa ( talk) 10:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Adam Mac Gregor's definition [ edit]""The blast-beat generally comprises a repeated, sixteenth-note figure played at a very fast tempo, and divided uniformly among the bass drum, snare, and ride, crash, or hi-hat cymbal. ""I think the quoted definition in the opening passage is too specific - not all the examples given in the article are sixteenth-note, including the tab right next to the quote. Also what does ""divided uniformly"" mean? - is it a bizarre way of saying 'played on all of...'? Bitbut ( talk) 02:57, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Cyclone blast [ edit]This video [1] depicts a blast beat known as a cyclone blast beat with the double bass being used in ""bursts"". Songs this is heard in are Fear Factory 's ""Cyberwaste"" and Asesino 's ""Regresando Odio"". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radium Metal ( talk • contribs) 17:13, 26 May 2013 (UTC)I don't see that video to be enough of a reliable source for confirming that ""cyclone blast beat"" is a term that should be included here. Can you find better sources discussing ""cyclone blast beats""? Mr Moustache MM ( talk) 19:48, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Angelo Spampinato [ edit]There's a drummer named Angelo Spampinato but he looks young to be a jazz drummer from the 50's, 60's or 70's. So I think it should be removed among the blast beat pioneers. -- Generale Lee ( talk) 13:44, 23 November 2016 (UTC)Jazz [ edit]The bit about Trio of Doom is okay, but isn't it a bit ridiculous to single out Tony Williams of all the jazz drummers? there are clearly ""blast beats"" on Albert Ayler's ""Nuits de la Fondation Maeght"" - 1970 - just for example - and probably plenty a lot earlier than that [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.171.245.83 ( talk) 23:44, 23 November 2017 (UTC)Rude kids (1979) - First blast beats or proto blast beats [ edit]Swedish band Rude kids on album Safe Society ( https://www.discogs.com/The-Rude-Kids-Safe-Society/master/1059426) link to video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o Wr_a Nr Bg7Mdelete that soft jazz Trio of doom Sergey Woropaew ( talk) 06:50, 12 February 2018 (UTC)^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7Tg We AXdx E^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y NK7ov E1Rgc&list=PLi N-7muk U_RHm Tsz0Fia PKa09hd1Hc-z JCategories: Start-Class Heavy Metal articles Wiki Project Metal articles Start-Class Percussion articles Top-importance Percussion articles "

how long to do rotisserie chicken

Cook the chickens indirectly over MEDIUM heat for approximately 1 1/2 hours, until the juices run clear, or 15–20 minutes per pound. The only way to accurately tell when the chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer. Do not allow the thermometer to touch the bone or the rotisserie spit.

"Rotisserie Chicken With Mediterranean Flavour Great for family gatherings this recipe creates a crispy rotisserie chicken combined with a mediterranean flavour that is not to overpowering for your taste buds. Ingredients2 – 5 lb chickens, whole, giblets and neck removed1/4 cup olive oil2 whole lemons, quartered1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped1/4 cup fresh rosemary, chopped1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped1 tsp crushed red pepper10 cloves garlic, sliced2 whole cooking onions, quartered Directions Rinse chickens with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. To prepare chickens for marinade, gently massage skin over breast and leg areas to loosen skin from the flesh. This will create a pocket between the skin and flesh. Combine olive oil, juice of one lemon and fresh herbs and crushed red pepper in a glass measuring cup. Gently lift skin and pour olive oil and fresh herb mixture into the pockets. Massage into breast and leg meat. Insert 6 sliced garlic cloves in various areas under the skin. Stuff remaining lemon quarters, onion and garlic cloves into the cavities of the birds. Generously sprinkle salt and pepper over outside of chickens. Truss the chickens tightly with cotton string. Place in resealable plastic bags and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Rotisserie Method: Arrange your barbecue as appropriate for the size of the chickens, removing grids and warming racks if necessary, and placing a drip pan on the vapourizer. Position drip pan so that it will be centred below the chickens. Fill the drip pan to 1/2"" from the top with water, wine or fruit juice. Preheat the barbecue on MEDIUM for 10 minutes. To place chickens on the rotisserie, slide one of the skewer forks onto the spit, insert the spit rod into the centre of the bird, lengthwise, then dovetail the second chicken. Centre the chickens on the spit and secure them in place with the remaining fork. Tighten the forks securely. Check that they are balanced and reposition spit rod if necessary. Position the counterbalance for even rotation. To do this, lay the rod with the chickens over the kitchen sink allowing the heaviest side to turn to the bottom. With the counterbalance loosened, rotate it to the opposite side, facing up. Tighten the rod handle. Set the rotisserie rod in the slots of the barbecue casting. Keep an eye on the heat indicator on the lid of the barbecue and try to keep the temperature around 375°F. Check periodically to ensure that the drip pan does not run dry. Keep a pitcher of hot water handy, to refill the drip pan as it begins to evaporate.

Chicken is done when the internal temperature of the breast meat has reached 170°F and the legs 180°F. If using a rear rotisserie burner, you may need to also set the lower burners on LOW depending on winds, external temperature etc. Convection Method: Refer to Rotisserie Cooking Guide for complete instructions for setting up your grill for rotisserie cooking, or for options if your grill is not equipped with a rotisserie. Let chickens stand for at least 10 minutes before carving. Recipe from Gathering Around The Grill Cookbook Share: Tweet MAKE IT EASIER WITH THESE GRILL ACCESSORIES.

what is narrow broadband access

Narrowband is usually only half the cost of broadband, depending on the broadband connection speed. Though it is common to associate only dial-up Internet access with the term narrowband, it is generally regarded that any connection with a transmission rate of 1.544 Megabits per second can be included in this category. This is much faster than a typical dialup connection.

What is Narrowband?

Narrowband is a term used to describe an Internet connection speed that is most commonly associated with a dial-up connection. Using phone lines and transmitting over voice-grade frequencies, the highest effective speed a connection can provide is approximately 56k, which is 56,000 bits per second. While many Internet users today may remember much slower speeds in the late 1980s and early to mid 1990s, the maximum speeds achieved through a narrowband connection pale in comparison to what is available today. Even the slowest broadband speeds are usually five times faster than this. In some locations around the world, especially in developing nations, narrowband is still the standard. However, many Western European nations are ahead of the United States in terms of the percentage of Internet users connecting using broadband. In the United States, narrowband was the undisputed most popular choice for Internet connections until 2006. That year, J. D. Power and Associates reported that broadband had finally become the leader in terms of access. The gap has been growing in the years since, despite the fact that dial-up connections are significantly cheaper than broadband. Interestingly enough, a number of narrowband users are quite happy with their service and may even prefer it over broadband. The Associated Press reported in July 2008 that only a small percentage of those who had slower connections say they use it because they have no access to broadband. The rest simply do not know why they choose that type of connection, or are unhappy with the cost of broadband.

In some cases, even a slower cable service connection could be considered a narrowband speed. However, this contradicts with the traditional definition, which is defined as the frequencies that carry voice-grade communication. Ad


why do people use gypsum in soil

Gypsum Improves Water-Use Efficiency Gypsum increases water-use efficiency of crops. In areas and times of drought, this is extremely important. Improved water infiltration rates, improved hydraulic conductivity of soil, better water storage in the soil all lead to deeper rooting and better water-use efficiency.

Gypsum - The Universal Soil Amendment

Gypsum - The Universal Soil Amendment Gypsum is calcium sulfate. The most common form of it is the dehydrate which means that each molecule of calcium sulfate has two water molecules associated with it. It is expressed as Ca SO42H20. The other form called gypsum anhydrite has no water. Regular use of gypsum is essential to the sustainability of most irrigated soils. Irrigated land eventually leads to sodicity and salinity unless extreme care is taken. Gypsum is a key ingredient for the maintenance of agriculture on many types of soil and over a wide p H range, including sodicity. Gypsum, in addition to prevention and correction of sodicity, include: greater stability of soil organic matter, more stable soil aggregates, improved water penetration into soil, and more rapid seed emergence. For many reasons gypsum can be considered to be a farmer's best friend. Some of the reasons are multiple and interrelated.37 ADVANTAGES TO USING GYP

SUMGypsum Improves Soil Structure Gypsum provides calcium which is needed to flocculate clays in acid and alkaline soil. Gypsum Helps Reclaim Sodic Soils Where the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of sodic soils is too high, it must be decreased for soil improvement and better crop growth.

The most economical way is to add gypsum which supplies calcium. The calcium replaces the sodium held on the clay-binding sites. The sodium can then be leached from the soil as sodium sulfate to an appropriate sink. Without gypsum, the soil would not be leachable. Gypsum Prevents Crusting of Soil and Aids Seed Emergence Gypsum can decrease and prevent the crust formation on soil surfaces which result from rain drops or from sprinkler irrigation on unstable soil. It can prevent crusting that results when acid soils are lime& the gypsum is co-applied with the lime. Gypsum Improves Low-Solute Irrigation Water Gypsum is used to increase the solute concentration of low-solute water used for irrigation. Irrigation water from rivers that no longer have sources of leachable salts either penetrates poorly into soil or causes soil particles to degrade which results in low-water penetration. The problem can be corrected with surface-applied gypsum or application to the irrigation water. Gypsum Improves Compacted Soil Gypsum can help break up compacted soil and decrease penetrometer resistance. Combination with organic amendments also helps, especially in preventing return of the compaction. Gypsum Makes Slightly Wet Soils Easier to Till Soils that have been treated with gypsum have a wider range of soil moisture levels where it is safe to till without danger of compaction or deflocculation. Gypsum Improves Water Runoff and Erosion Gypsum improves water infiltration rates into soils and also the hydraulic conductivity of the soil. Gypsum Decreases p H of Sodic Soils Gypsum immediately decreases the p H of sodic soils or near sodic soils from values often over 9 but usually over 8 to values from 7.5 to 7.8. these values are in the range of acceptability for growth of most crop plants

. Gypsum Increases the p H of Acidic Soils One mechanism in which gypsum can increase soil p H enough in some acid soils to sufficiently decrease the level of soluble aluminum to grow crops satisfactorily is replacement of hydroxyl ions from some clay lattices by sulfate ions.

Gypsum Improves Swelling Clays Gypsum can decrease the swelling and cracking associated with high levels of exchangeable sodium on the montmorillonite-type clays. As sodium is replaced by calcium on these clays, they swell less and therefore do not easily clog the pore spaces through which air, water and roots move. Gypsum Prevents Water Logging of Soil Gypsum improves the ability of soil to drain and not become waterlogged due to a combination of high sodium, swelling clay, and excess water. Gypsum Can Help Remove Excess Boron from Sodic Soil More boron was leached from sodic soils when gypsum was applied than when the soil was leached without gypsum. Gypsum Increases the Stability of Soil Organic Matter Gypsum is a source of calcium which is a major mechanism that binds soil organic matter to clay in soil which gives stability to soil aggregates. Gypsum Makes Water-Soluble Polymer Soil Conditioners More Effective Gypsum complements or even magnifies the beneficial effects of water soluble polymers used as amendments to improve soil structure. Gypsum Makes Excess Magnesium Non-Toxic In soils having unfavorable calcium magnesium ratios, such as serpentine soils, gypsum can create a more favorable ratio. Gypsum Corrects Subsoil Acidity Gypsum can improve some acid soils even beyond what lime can do for them. Surface crusting can be prevented. Gypsum is now being widely used on acid soils. Gypsum Can Enhance the Values of Liming Addition to soil together with lime increased crop yields. The combination also decreased leaching losses of potassium and magnesium.

From 25 to 100 percent more water is available in gypsum-treated soils than in nontreated soils. Gypsum Creates Favorable Soil EC Gypsum, being readily soluble, results in proper buffered solute concentration (EC) in soil to maintain soil in a flocculated state. It is better environmentally and cost wise to maintain the needed EC with gypsum than with excess application of fertilizers. Gypsum Makes it Possible to Efficiently Use Low Quality Irrigation Water Use of reclaimed municipal waste water is important for conservation of natural resources. Reclaimed water can be satisfactorily used if amendments, such as gypsum and water-soluble polymers, are also used. Gypsum Decreases Dust Erosion Use of gypsum can decrease wind and water erosion of soil. Severe dust problems can be decreased, especially when combined with use of water-soluble polymers. Gypsum Helps Plants Absorb Plant Nutrients Calcium, which is supplied in gypsum, is essential to the biochemical mechanisms by which most plants nutrients are absorbed by roots. Without adequate calcium, uptake mechanisms would fail. Gypsum Decreases Heavy-Metal Toxicity Calcium also acts as a regulator of the balance of particularly the micronutrients, such as iron, zinc, manganese and copper, in plants. It also regulates non-essential trace elements. Calcium prevents excess uptake of many of them; and once they are in the plant, calcium keeps them from having adverse effects when their levels get high. Calcium in liberal quantities helps to maintain a healthy balance of nutrients and non-nutrients within plants. Gypsum Increases Value of Organics Gypsum adds to the value of organic amendments. Gypsum Improves Fruit Quality and Prevents Some Plant Diseases Calcium is nearly always only marginally sufficient and often deficient in developing fruits. Good fruit quality requires an adequate amount of calcium. Calcium moves very slowly, if at all, from one plant part to another and fruits at the end of the transport system get too little. Calcium must be constantly available to the roots. In very high p H soils, calcium is not available enough; therefore, gypsum helps. Gypsum is used for peanuts, which develop below ground, to keep them disease free. Gypsum helps prevent blossom-end rot of watermelon and tomatoes and bitter pit in apples. Gypsum is preferred over lime for potatoes grown in acid soils so that scab may be controlled. Root rot of avocado trees cased by Phytophthora is partially corrected by gypsum and organics. Gypsum is a Source of Sulfur Gypsum is a source of fertilizer sulfur. Gypsum Helps Prepare Soil for No-Till Management A liberal application of gypsum is a good procedure for starting a piece of land into no-till soil management or pasture. Gypsum Decreases Bulk Density of Soil Gypsum-treated soil has a lower bulk density compared with untreated soil. Gypsum Decreases the Toxic Effect of Na CI Salinity Calcium from gypsum has a physiological role in inhibiting the uptake of sodium by plants. Gypsum Multiplies the Value of Other Inputs Gypsum can improve the response to all other inputs including fertilizers. Gypsum Can Decrease p H of Rhizosphere Increased calcium uptake by roots when gypsum is applied can decrease the p H of the rhizosphere. Gypsum Keeps Clay Off Tuber and Root Crops Gypsum can help keep clay particles from adhering to roots, bulbs and tubers of crops like potato, carrots, garlic and beets. Gypsum Decreases Loss Of Fertilizer Nitrogen to the Air Calcium from gypsum can help decrease volatilization loss of ammonium nitrogen from applications of ammonia, ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium sulfate, or any of the ammonium phosphates. Gypsum Can be a Source of Oxygen for Plants The sulfate that is taken up by plants and metabolized releases the associated oxygen which is a source of oxygen to plant roots although a limited source. Gypsum Helps Earthworms to Flourish A continuous supply of calcium with organics is essential to earthworms that improve soil aeration, improve soil aggregation and mix the soil. Gypsum Can Increase Water Retention in Soil Gypsum when applied to sodic soil decreased levels of exchangeable sodium resulted in a large increase in water retention at a given tension compared with controls. Dry matter and seed yield were increased as a result. Gypsum Can Increase Crop Yields Gypsum for various combinations of the above effects can substantial increase crop yields from 10 to 50 percent. **Information from the Diamond K company web site: www.diamondkgypsum.comback to top


where is moravian falls

The town of Moravian Falls is located in the heart of Wilkes County, North Carolina, and sits at an elevation of 1,192 feet. Deriving its name from its 35 foot waterfall and the Moravian brothers who settled here in 1753, Moravian Falls is the perfect setting for your mountain vacation. These pilgrims originally came from Bohemia and Moravia, neighboring provinces in what is now the Czech Republic. Half a century ahead of Martin Luther's Reformation movement, the Moravians were branded as heretics. Yet they grew; by the time of Luther, in 1517, there were 400 Moravian congregations scattered through Moravia, Bohemia, and Saxony.

Moravian Falls

"Moravian Falls A brief History of the Moravians

Persecution continued, however, until early in the 17th century, many Moravians left Bohemia; they were forced underground and many of their former buildings and homes were burned and destroyed. Finally, in the 1700s, a home was found when Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf offered a settlement on his estate near Berthelsdorf, in the German state of Saxony. Soon, a town called Herrnhut grew, and became a refuge for the Moravian faith. From this base, the Moravians continued with a focus on missionary work to many places in the world. The location of these early missions led to the church today having a worldwide membership made up largely of people of African descent. The first attempt to settle in America, in the colony of Georgia, was short-lived. The Moravians moved north from Georgia to eastern Pennsylvania in 1740 and founded the town of Bethlehem. From this base in Pennsylvania, they later moved south to North Carolina. In 1752, in the backwoods of North Carolina the Moravians purchased a tract of almost 100,000 acres . The name of the tract became known as Wachovia. In 1766, they establish the town of Salem (meaning ""peace"") in N. C., which is often confused with Salem, Mass. The Moravians established a rooted community with strong values and stable trade. They continued a legacy of 24 hour prayer and worship centers that were started in Eastern Europe by their ancestors. Their prayer and missionary spirit still have effect in the foothills of North Carolina where today many ministries have established their home bases. "


how long to grow a pineapple

The time from initial planting to fruit set varies. Pineapples grown outside in the optimum climate can set their first fruit in as little as 16 months. Indoor plants may take 16 to 24 months, or longer, before they flower and form their first fruits. The type of planting also impacts the time to first fruit. Sucker-grown plants usually fruit earliest at around 16 months, slips may take 24 months and a crown can take up to 28 months. Ratoon fruits usually begin growing off the side shoots within a year, although they may take longer.

How Many Times Does a Pineapple Plant Fruit?

Written by Jenny Harrington; Updated January 26, 2018Related Articles What to Do to a Pineapple Plant After Picking the Pineapple How to Know When a Pineapple Is Ripe & Ready to Be Picked From the Plant How to Remove a Pineapple Without Killing the Plant How to Care for a Pineapple Plant Bloom The deep green, strap-like leaves and size of a pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) makes it a striking addition to a potted garden or outside in the garden in frost-free climates. Pineapples grow naturally in tropical U. S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 10 through 12, but you can enjoy them as indoor plants in any climate. The plants can take a long time to flower and set fruit, and they are only capable of producing a few edible fruits before the vigor of the plant begins to decline. Fruit Per Plant Pineapple plants can fruit a total of three times during their lifetime before you must replace the plant, although not all plants are capable of producing multiple fruit and some plants may fruit more. Indoor potted plants are more likely to produce only one or two fruits in their lifetime because they do not always receive the optimum conditions necessary for thorough fruiting. Each flower stalk produced by a plant has the capability of setting fruit. The first fruit typically grows largest, with subsequent smaller fruits produced later. Mother Plant The mother plant, or the first plant grown, produces a single fruit from the center of the crown. Pineapple plants can be grown from crowns, although you can also grow pineapples from slips and suckers.

The crown flowers for about two weeks before the fruit begins to form. If a mother plant isn't setting fruit, you can force flowering on a plant that hasn't yet sent up a stalk. Dissolve 3 calcium carbide pellets in a cup of ice water and pour it over the crown.

Alternatively, set pieces of an apple around the center of the pineapple. Ethylene gas, produced by both calcium carbide and apples, forces flowering. Ratoon Plants The second and third fruits grow from side shoots off the mother plant, called ratoons. In large containers you can leave these shoots, or suckers, on the mother to continue growing. The suckers are usually removed in smaller pots and transplanted to their own container, where they become a new mother plant. Each ratoon can only flower once, and it isn't likely to send out its own suckers if left on the mother plant. Although each mother can produce multiple suckers, it's best to remove all but the two strongest. Too many suckers on one plant weakens it and minimizes the chance of fruiting. Time to Fruit

how far away from a fire hydrant parking

How Close Can you Park to a Fire Hydrant? Quick answer: Most city fire hydrant parking laws state that you must be parked at least 15 feet away from a fire hydrant (about a full standard sedan car length). The color of both the curb, and the hydrant itself is irrelevant. More details: You’re cruising around in the mid-summer heat, and think you just stumbled onto the perfect parking spot.

Parking 101

Instead, you pull up a little closer and see that smug little R2D2-looking bastard smiling right at you. 15 feet is the minimum distance you can park away from a fire hydrant in most municipal codes – which may seem excessively far, especially when every inch of curb in a dense city is so valuable. But there’s a good reason for this fire hydrant parking law. Safety. Boom. You just got hosed!Giving the fire hydrant ample room allows emergency crews to access the water in the event of a fire. The 15 feet allows enough room for firefighters to quickly identify the location of the hydrant, and maneuver the big stiff hose in the direction needed. And if your unattended car is parked in front of that hydrant? Expect to come back to a smashed window (yes, they can), a wet car, and a very hefty fine. As well as the lasting fact that you might have prevented someone’s cat from getting rescued sooner.“How close can I park to a fire hydrant if the curb is grey, though?”The color of the fire hydrant has nothing to do with the parking parameters. In general, the curb should be colored red, but sometimes the city has yet to get around to it. Don’t be fooled by what appears to be an open parking spot!Exceptions to the rule In most municipalities, it is generally OK to stop in front of a fire hydrant if you, as the driver, are staying in the car (running) and have the ability to quickly move the vehicle, or if you are loading/unloading passengers. Park better. Pass it on. Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Linked Infire hydrant August 16, 2017 by Peter V. Written by Peter V. Peter is an L. A.-based designer, blogger and daily commuter. He explores what causes parking to suck in urban environments, how to bring about parking regulation changes, and the latest advancements in parking tech.

is tom robinson found guilty

Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed” (241). This shows, that whether Tom Robinson committed this crime or not, he was guilty. No matter what Atticus did he would be guilty because he was black. Tom Robinson is a static character because the way people view him stays the same, because he stays the same. Tom Robinson is a very hard worker and liked to do things for other people.

Tom Robinson Written by Dalton, Kaden, Karina, Madison Tom Robinson was frowned upon by society. Matters became worse when he was accused of committing rape, and he was murdered for a crime that he did not commit. Tom Robinson is a static character, the communities view on Tom Robinson stays the same throughout the story because he the same. He is very hard working, and he is also faced with a big conflict when he goes trial. Tom Robinson is a static character, which means he does not change. Members of the community do not like Tom Robinson and that stays the same throughout the whole book. Mrs. Dubose explains to Jem and Scout how not only do they have a Finch waiting on tables, but one in court defending a black man. This shows that she does not like Atticus anymore because he is defending Tom Robinson. Which really means she does not like Tom Robinson, and this is because he is black (101). During the trial Tom Robinson is being asked questions about what happened that night with Mayella and Mr. Gilmer says to Tom, “You did all this chopping and hard work from sheer goodness, boy?” (197). This shows that Mr. Gilmer does not think Tom Robinson is hard working and a good enough person to do that work for Mayella. “Atticus had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts of secret hearts, Atticus had no case.

Tom Robinson states in trial, “No suh, I works in his yard fall an' wintertime. I works pretty steady for him all year round, hes got a lot of pecan trees'n things” (190). This quote shows that in trial, Tom Robinson explains how he is a hard worker. In trial, Tom Robinson explains that while he was walking home from work he had to pass the Ewell place and Mayella Violet Ewell asked him to come inside the fence and bust up a chiffarobe for her. He could have said no, but he decided to go help her. This shows that he would go work for other people just to be nice (191). Tom's boss states in court, “I just want the whole lot of you to know one thing right now. That boy's worked for me eight years an' I ain't had a speck o'trouble outa him. Not a speck” (195). This shows that Tom is hard working because he even has people to admit in court that he is hard working. Tom Robinson is hard working because he would go out of his way to do his work right and help others. Tom Robinson faces a challenge against society because they view him negatively because he is black. On a trip to her cousin's home, Scout's cousin Francis tells Scout that her father is a lover of black men, so Scout punches Francis in the face (83). This shows that Francis, as the kid part of society thinks lower of Atticus now because he is defending Tom Robinson. Which shows that this part of society is against Tom Robinson. Another kid in society, Cecil Jacobs told Scout that her father defended black men. She resisted fighting him (74). This shows the he also is against Tom Robinson because he thinks Atticus should not defend him. Later, Jem explains to his father that Mrs. Dubose said he lawed for black men and trash (103). That shows that she implying that Tom Robinson is trash, and as an older women in society she is against Tom Robinson. Tom Robinson faces a challenge against society because they view him poorly and do not want him to get help in trial. Tom Robinson is viewed negetively by his society, and although he is hard working, people's perspective of him remain the same like he does. Society did not like Tom Robinson so much that he was convicted and killed, all because he was black.


what are the marijuana laws in massachusetts

In 2008, Massachusetts voters approved a ballot measure that replaced criminal penalties for the possession of one ounce or less of weed with a system of civil penalties. That law is usually described as decriminalization. In 2012, Massachusetts voters approved an initiative making marijuana legal for medical use.

Mass. voters say âyesâ to legalizing marijuana

Mass. voters say ‘yes’ to legalizing marijuana By Joshua Mill

er Globe Staff November 08, 2016Massachusetts voters on Tuesday legalized marijuana for recreational use, sweeping away more than a century of prohibition and opening the door to a massive new industry. The vote means the drug will become legal for use on Dec. 15, and marijuana shops can open in 2018.

It will pose an immediate challenge for the slow-moving state bureaucracy, which will need to quickly craft new laws and regulations to oversee what could soon be a billion-dollar business. Voters approved the measure 53.6 percent to 46.4 percent with 96 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday, according to unofficial results. Advertisement The passage of Question 4 came despite opposition from Governor Charlie Baker, Mayor Martin J. Walsh, and Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley who argued it would be a mistake to legalize a new drug while the state battles a scourge of opioid abuse and who said legalization would result in danger to public health and safety.

Sign Up Voters in four states and the District of Columbia have already legalized marijuana, despite the drug remaining banned under federal law. Massachusetts was one of five states considering legalization Tuesday. California voters approved legalization. Arizona voters rejected it, and the outcome in Maine remained too close to call as of early Wednesday.

Read: Full election results“Massachusetts has taken an historic step forward by ending the failed policy of marijuana prohibition,” said Mason Tvert of the Washington-based Marijuana Policy Project, which helped back the effort. “Voters chose to control marijuana rather than to continue forcing it into the underground market. Hopefully, Massachusetts will establish a system that can serve as an example for neighboring states, and others around the country.”Over the course of the campaign advocates argued the measure would end an antiquated system that ensnared otherwise law-abiding citizens. They insisted legalization would divert money from criminal syndicates to companies operating on the up and up, and would improve the health and safety of children by moving marijuana sales from the street to licensed stores that check IDs. Advertisement Those claims will be put to the test. Some parts of life in Massachusetts are unlikely to change after Tuesday’s vote. Marijuana consumption remains banned in public places, and smoking it will still be prohibited anywhere tobacco smoking is forbidden. Landlords will be empowered to keep their tenants from smoking a joint at home. But as soon as next month, a legal gray zone will settle over the state. The measure will allow the possession, use, and purchase of 1 ounce or less of marijuana for adults 21 and older starting on Dec. 15. But there’s no mechanism for buying marijuana for recreational use legally until Jan. 1, 2018, when retail shops can open for business. And marijuana remains illegal under federal law, adding complexities for the many Massachusetts organizations that receive federal funds. And the new law sets up a cascade of tough decisions for officials across the state, who will have to answer myriad questions. Among them: Is the new tax on marijuana sales — 3.75 percent in addition to the 6.25 percent sales tax — high enough to pay for enforcement of the law and regulation of the new industry? (Towns and cities will be able to add an additional 2 percent tax to local marijuana sales, if they choose. )Advertisement How will police measure drugged driving? State law doesn’t have a marijuana impairment standard like it does for alcohol — 0.08 or greater blood alcohol concentration. How should government help keep the drug away from children and ensure marijuana isn’t more accessible in high school parking lots and on college quads? And how much regulation will lawmakers be able to enact before the industry — perhaps like alcohol and tobacco before it — becomes a powerful lobbying force? State Senator Jason M. Lewis, a legalization opponent and an authority on the industry, said he fully accepts the will of the voters and that state officials “will move forward expeditously to implement the new law.”But the Winchester Democrat said there are many important details that will be have to addresed by the Legislature and executive branch. And they will have to seek the views of public health experts, law enforcement, town, city and federal officials, the industry, and other people with a stake in the outcome.“This work will be very complicated and time-consuming,” he said. The voter-approved law creates a Cannabis Control Commission, an oversight body for the new industry. The three-member group will be appointed by state Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg and is tasked with setting standards for everything from marijuana advertising to edibles, the marijuana-infused products like brownies that have proliferated in legalization states. The commission will have also have to address other thorny issues. The law allows people to legally grow up to 12 marijuana plants per household — a significant amount. How will they keep that product from being diverted to the black market? Municipal leaders must also begin to figure out how to deal with the new industry. They can limit, but not ban, retail stores, cultivation facilities, and marijuana manufacturers. Town or city leadership can call a referendum, however, and voters can decide whether to completely prohibit recreational marijuana businesses. The win follows pro-marijuana victories in the past two presidential election years.

es. The law, passed as a ballot measure known as Question 4, would allow people 21 years and older to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana outside their residence and possess up to 10 ounces inside the residence. That goes into effect on Dec. 15, 2016. These 13 Massachusetts towns really wanted weed legalized Here's what happens next, with a major caveat. There are deadlines and other provisions within the law. But the Massachusetts Legislature and Gov. Charlie Baker, one of the top opponents of the measure, hold the power to rewrite the law.

"Politics - Mass Live.com Massachusetts just passed marijuana legalization. What happens next? Updated on November 9, 2016 at 3:17 PM Posted on November 9, 2016 at 12:18 AMComment By Gintautas Dumciusgdumcius@masslive.com BOSTON - Nearly 1.3 million Massachusetts voters on Tuesday signed off on legalizing, regulating and taxing marijuana, according to initial voting talli

Many of the state's elected officials and policymakers have largely been opposed to legalization and repeatedly called the ballot question flawed. They've sent signals that they plan to make changes to the ballot question, calling the proposed tax too low. Under the law approved Tuesday, marijuana products and retail sales would be subject to the state sales tax and a 3.75 percent excise tax, and cities and towns can add a 2 percent tax, bringing the total to 12 percent. Lawmakers could also seek to pare back the ""home growing"" provision - how much people are allowed to possess inside their residence -- as well. The hemp industry benefits from marijuana legalization in Massachusetts, as well. The ballot measure has a small section that also regulates the cultivation, processing, distribution and sale of hemp, which is part of the marijuana family. Move over marijuana: Hemp industry could explode in Massachusetts The law also sets up a three-member Cannabis Control Commission. The state treasurer - currently Deb Goldberg, who opposed legalization - is tasked with making initial appointments to the commission by March 1, 2017, a deadline the Legislature could push back. The new law also creates an advisory board to the commission. Retail pot shops could be opening in 2018, and medical marijuana shops get a leg up in the regulatory process. The ballot measure allows the commission to issue licenses until Jan. 1, 2018 first to applicants with ""the most experience operating medical marijuana treatment centers and then by lottery among qualified applicants. ""Will Luzier, campaign manager for ""Yes on 4,"" said Tuesday night he plans to help ensure ""the will of the voters is carried out. ""He rejected criticism of the timelines in the law, saying that Colorado voted to legalize marijuana for recreational use in November 2012, and commercial sales started in January 2014. ""It's the exact same timeline we have here,"" he said. Minutes after the Associated Press called the race for ""Yes on 4"" on Tuesday night, state Senate President Stanley Rosenberg, the lone leader on Beacon Hill who openly supported legalization, put out a statement. ""The voters have spoken on legalization,"" Rosenberg said. ""I look forward to swiftly implementing their will and working with Governor Baker and Speaker De Leo to create a best-in-the-nation law that protects public safety while respecting the wishes of the voters. ""Asked about legalization before the votes were fully tallied on Tuesday, Attorney General Maura Healey said, ""we'll have to see where we are when the dust settles. """"If we see legalization of commercial marijuana, there's going to be an awful lot of work for any number of agencies and departments and folks across government because it raises real issues concerning public health and safety and consumer protection and issues for law enforcement as well,"" said Healey, an opponent of legalization. Republican reporter Shira Schoenberg contributed to this report. View Comments "

what is the new nintendo system

13)New Nintendo 3DSThe New Nintendo 3DS is a revision of the Nintendo 3DS, with new features like amiibo and the Face Plates. The console also has a 3D screen which can be viewed in different angles and two new buttons and an additional control nub. (2014/2015)

List of Nintendo systems

"Other XList of Nintendo systems [ Edit] [ Talk]The following are a list of video game systems Nintendo has released. This list includes both home consoles and handhelds. List of Gaming Consoles Home consoles Handhelds Name Description Color TV Game ser

ies The Color TV Game series includes five different pieces of hardware, each one with a unique game. Color TV Game systems did not have interchangeable cartridges, so each console could only play a single title. (1977-1979)N

intendo Entertainment System The Nintendo Entertainment System, an 8-bit system, was one of Nintendo's greatest successes. Unlike the Color TV Games, the NES could play different titles, on interchangeable cartridges, that could be purchased in stores. (1985)Super Nintendo Entertainment System The Super Nintendo Entertainment System featured enhanced graphics, a brand new controller, and more. It was the first 16-bit console by Nintendo. (1991)Nintendo 64The Nintendo 64 featured greatly improved 3D graphics and a new controller that introduced the modern joystick. It was also the first home console to have four controller ports built into the system. (1996)Game Cube The Game Cube featured enhanced graphics and a new controller. As the games came on mini-disc it was the first Nintendo home console to solely use a disc format for games. It was also the first (and only) Nintendo system to require additional memory cards in order to save progress. (2001)Panasonic QThe Panasonic Q is a hybrid version of the Nintendo Game Cube with the ability to play DVDs, Audio CDs, MP3s and CDs as well as several other new features. It was only released in Japan. (2001)Wii The Wii featured motion controls, a new online system, various multimedia ‘channels’ and slightly improved graphics. The graphical change wasn't nearly as dramatic as previous console transitions. The newer black, red, and blue models (dubbed the ‘Wii Family Edition’) do not support Gamecube games. (2006)Wii Mini The Wii Mini is a smaller version of the Wii console that lacks many of the Wii’s features, such as internet connectivity and Gamecube backwards capability. It was first released in Canada, then North America and Europe. (2012)Wii UThe Wii U features a new controller known as the Wii U Game Pad, which has a 6.2"" touch screen built into it. It also boasts new 1080p HD graphics (only on the TV screen). It was released in two models: white (8gb) and black (32gb). It has a NFC chip used to scan in amiibo (2012)NES Classic Edition The NES Classic Edition is a mini console that emulates the experience of the Nintendo Entertainment System. It includes 30 classic NES games and is compatible with the Wii Classic Controller and NES Classic Edition controller. (2016)Nintendo Switch The Nintendo Switch is a new hybrid of home and portable gaming systems. It features a portable console with a screen that can be docked to display on larger displays. It features modular controllers that can attach to the device itself, a grip or in each of the user's hands. (2017)Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition Also known as the SNES Mini, this system emulates the SNES console. It features 20 built in games plus Star Fox 2, which was previously unreleased and can be unlocked after playing the first mission of the original game. (2017)Name Description Game & Watch Small, portable LCD games starring who is known today as Mr. Game and Watch. There have been 60 different variations of the Game & Watch system. (1980)Game Boy

The Game Boy was the first portable, interchangeable cartridge handheld by Nintendo. Games were 8-bit black-and-white, played on a green-tinted screen. The system had a red LED which showed the remaining power. It could last for over 30 hours on its required 4 AA batteries.

(1989)Virtual Boy

The first Nintendo console with 3D graphics, the concept was to create a virtual reality experience. The system featured a pair of goggles to look into which sent a slightly different image to each eye, creating the 3D effect.

The graphics could only be displayed in red and black. The system reportedly caused headaches and nausea, leading to low sales. It was discontinued less than a year after it was released. (1995)Game Boy Pocket Similar to the Game Boy but slimmer with a monochrome screen rather than the original pea soup screen. It takes 2 AAA batteries and lasts for a little less time. The first releases of the Game Boy Pocket did not come with the red LED, as shown in the photo. Due to high demand, Nintendo added the LED to the system. (1996)Game Boy Light Native to Japan. Similliar to the Game Boy Pocket except it featured a backlit screen for playing in the dark. It ran on two AA batteries. (1997)Pokémon Pikachu The Pokémon Pikachu is a virtual pet toy and pedometer similar to a Tamagotchi. The player takes care of a virtual pet Pikachu. (1998)Game Boy Color Similar to the Game Boy, but with color graphics. It also had many technical enhancements, including a more powerful processor and an infrared wireless link-up port. This system was technically compared to the NES, except that the Game Boy Color has a larger color palette. There is no backlight on the screen. (1998)Pokémon Pikachu 2 GSThe Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS is a virtual pet toy and pedometer. Unlike the original Pokémon Pikachu, the player doesn't have to take care of Pikachu. (1999)Game Boy Advance The Game Boy Advance was a major improvement over the Game Boy Color with a new handheld shape, shoulder buttons and better graphics. It was technically compared to the Super Nintendo console, except that the Game Boy Advance's 16-bit sound is not as powerful as the console's. Some games remade from the Super Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance had to remix their soundtracks so they would work on the handheld system. This is clearly evident in the Donkey Kong Country series. (2001)Pokémon Mini The Pokemon Mini is a Nintendo handheld themed around Pokémon. Only 10 games were made for it. The Nintendo Game Cube game, Pokémon Channel, features a Pokémon Mini emulator and six games. (2001)Game Boy Advance SPThe Game Boy Advance SP was the first Game Boy to have a clamshell design much like the Nintendo DS. The Game Boy Advance SP featured much better graphics and a front-lit screen which could be turned on or off (the model AGS-001). The newer model, AGS-101 features a backlit screen with adjustable brightness. The system's game compatibility is identical to the Game Boy Advance's. (2003)Nintendo DSThe Nintendo DS featured two screens, the bottom one being a touch screen. The system also had enhanced graphics. It featured backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance games and was often criticized for its chunky design. Often referred to as the ‘DS Phat’ by fans. (2004)Game Boy Micro This was the last Game Boy in the line and was the smallest handheld ever released. It featured a lack of backwards compatibility, only able to play Game Boy Advance games. The screen was about 2/3 the size of the original Game Boy Advance's. (2005)Nintendo DS Lite This was the first redesign of the Nintendo DS line. It was much slimmer than the original Nintendo DS and featured a brighter screen. Backwards compatibility for Game Boy Advance games continued with the DS Lite. (2006)Nintendo DSi The second redesign of the Nintendo DS line. It was the first Nintendo handheld to feature multimedia. It featured a 0.3 megapixel camera that you could have fun with by editing pictures etc. It also featured a music app where you could record your voice and then play around with it. You could also listen to actual music. Lastly it featured the shop app where you could download games etc. The backwards compatibility for Game Boy Advance games disappeared in this version of the DS. (2008)Nintendo DSi XLThis was the last redesign of the Nintendo DS line. It was the same as the Nintendo DSi except it featured a bigger and slimmer design with new 4.3"" dual-screens. (2010)Nintendo 3DSThe Nintendo 3DS can produce 3D graphics on the top screen without the need for glasses. It also includes a portable Mii Maker and Streetpass. It was also the first Nintendo handheld to feature a joystick. (2011)Nintendo 3DS XLIn a similar manner to the Nintendo DSi XL. The 3DS XL was released on July 21, 2012 in Japan and on August 19, 2012 in the USA and other countries. The 3DS XL features even bigger 5"" screens. (2012)Nintendo 2DSThe Nintendo 2DS is a redesign of the Nintendo 3DS, which uses mostly the same software, but differs in physical design. It features a more solid, tablet-like design as opposed to the Nintendo 3DS' clamshell design. (20

New Nintendo 3DS XLThe New Nintendo 3DS XL is a bigger version of the New Nintendo 3DS. (2014/2015)Nintendo Switch The Nintendo Switch is a new hybrid of home and portable gaming systems. It features a portable console with a screen that can be docked to display on larger displays. It features modular controllers that can attach to the device itself, a grip or in each of the user's hands. (2017)New Nintendo 2DS XLThe New Nintendo 2DS XL is a technologically-improved remodel of the 2DS handheld. The console is much larger than the original 2DS model and adds all features of the updated ‘New 3DS’ line of systems, minus the ability to play games in 3D on the top screen.
