Modern ESP plays with the idea of everyone's "sixth sense."
The Performer displays two sets of cards, 5 blue and 5 red. Each set contains 5 symbols that intuitively means something to everyone. Smiley Face: Emotion, a moment of happiness Flower: Nature, a sensation of being blessed Heart: Relationship, love life Wavy Lines: symbol of river, for abstract side of the mind House: Home, a sense of security and comfort The Performer sets five cards all face down, leaving the participant five cards in her own hand to play with. While she knows exactly what her cards are, she has no idea what the face down cards on the table are. The challenge, is to match the design of her face up cards with all the face up cards. After they're done, you flip over each pair to reveal that they match perfectly. It works 100% of the time, and your audience will be left wondering how they did it!

4.30 / 5.00 26,422 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
3.97 / 5.00 6,472 ViewsThis may not be your type of game but please give it a chance when voting I worked really hard on this.
If you like Alpacas this is the game for you! This time I put triple the amount of items into my game and almost all of them change shape/color when you click on them. And for my fans out there I also put some fun backgrounds into the game (free of charge). Enjoy it, I command you!
First impression:
During Gameplay:
(At the Main Menu) The Main Menu, or title screen as some classify it, is fairly simplistic. That's not a bad thing, considering it's just a dress-up game and not some massive freeroam game series like Grand Theft Auto. Both the Credits and the Tips button work well and smoothly. After clicking the buttons, a smooth gliding box came out with the information.
(At the Dress-up part)
Mute button. I love it. Fairly wide variety of different options
After "gameplay":
5/5. Alpacas rock. There isn't much to review for a dress-up game, but as far as dress-up games go, this one is definitely solid. It allows the player to have, for the most part, full control of his/her alpaca.

A parking lot attendant who claimed he was punched by Omar Sharif has won a knockout decision in court.
Court documents show the judge entered a default judgment Tuesday for over $318,000 in damages in favor of Juan Luis Ochoa Anderson when Sharif failed to show up for a deposition.
Sharif pleaded no contest in 2007 to misdemeanor battery and was ordered to take an anger management course for the incident outside
a Beverly Hills steakhouse in 2005.
Court documents show Anderson was awarded total damages of $318,190.00 plus costs and attorneys' fees.
In August 2003, Sharif was convicted of striking a police officer at a casino near Paris.
He received a one-month suspended sentence and a $1,700 fine.

Wonderful 115 year old home that has been lovingly maintained. Craig is a fantastic host with numerous stories--breakfast time flies by. Speaking of breakfast, the food is awesome! Be sure to mention if you have any allergy or intolerance! Craig loves a challenge and makes a mean gluten-free cranberry muffin :D Have stayed twice already, and wouldn't hesitate to book another weekend.

My wife and I stayed at The Parsonage over the summer during a trip to Madison. Our reservation was obtainable at the last minute and this was no issue with the proprietor (Craig and staff). The owner of the house was very flexible, leaving the key and a note and gave us everything that we needed for our short stay. Our room and accomodations were more than adequate, with a lion-footed bathtub, personal bathroom and wonderful old bed. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and sourced locally. I can safely recommend staying here to anyone. Thanks for the great stay, Craig et al!

Had a wonderful three night stay at the Parsonage in McFarland while on a bicycling trip to the Madison area. Nice out of the way location but just a short ride or drive to Madison. Best B & B value in the Madison area, plus the tax is a fraction of Madison's. Craig was an excellent host and quite a breakfast chef. Comfortable room and common areas with a sun room and front porch with a swing. Very nice - check it out!

If you're looking for a fun weekend getaway, come to Madison! Spend all day out and about downtown and then check in right outside of town at the quaint and quiet Parsonage in McFarland. We had a delightful stay for three nights...this b&b has a wonderfully friendly and cozy atmosphere. The 113-year-old house boasts beautifully well-lit bedrooms on two floors. The owner, Craig, makes every effort to personalize your stay. We'll definitely consider coming back.
5 su luglio 05, 2012
The Parsonage B&B has everything one would want in a B&B. The owners pay a great bit of attention to the fine details in order to make their guest feel at home and comfortable for the entirety of their stay at the Parsonage. The B&B is extremely well-kept and Craig Wrobel is constantly working to ensure that the 112 year old Parsonage is up to the modern standards of living that we all have grown accustom. Also, the breakfast is great! Ask for a waffle Iron cinnamon roll sometime, you won't regret it! Amazing stay, I highly recommend the Parsonage.
4,4 su maggio 25, 2012
We had a short 1-night visit to The Parsonage and it was a very nice place to stop. The bed was comfortable and the owner, Craig, made sure that our needs were well-attended to. Overall, we would stay there again on our next visit to Madison.
5 su marzo 18, 2012
What a phenomenal place to stay! The rooms are amazing and Craig and Cathy made us feel right at home. Very reasonably priced and breakfast was quite tasty. You'll love the glazed bacon!
4,6 su febbraio 03, 2012
From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel like we were at home. It wasn't just Craig's efforts that made us feel like that, the overall setting was all very home-y. If you want a hotel, this place might not be for you, but if you want an authentic B&B feel, then the Parsonage is perfect! Not to mention, the breakfast was AMAZING!
3,6 su dicembre 15, 2011
It is more homey than a Bed and Breakfast. Craig was a wonderful host. Breakfast was worth waking up early for!
5 su agosto 28, 2011
I have been to this B&B many many times. My husband & I have always been treated quite well. In fact, during one of our first few trips, Craig had a special treat waiting for us, as it was our Anniversary.
4,8 su luglio 03, 2011
Craig is a gem of a host, and this is a quaint, clean getaway if you're visiting the greater Madison area. The homemade breakfast in the morning will surpass your expectations, with both sweet and savory options. And I do mean homemade - nothing from a can or container in sight! I will definitely return here the next time I'm anywhere in the area.
4,8 su ottobre 26, 2010
This B&B has a very comfortable, friendly, lived in feel. Great rooms with plenty of amenities. But what really sets it apart is the owners. Craig has a passion for running a B&B and it shows. He's a fantastic cook and makes delicious breakfasts with local ingredients. The location is close to many area attractions. And for those of us who are dog lovers, there is 1 (and sometimes 2) dogs on the premises, but the owners are respectful of the fact that not everyone is a dog lover and will ask before introducing them to you. We would recommend this B&B and look forward to going there again!
5 su settembre 06, 2010
The Parsonage is our favorite B&B. Craig and Cathy make you feel at home. If you do not like a beautiful old buidling, then you should stay at a Motel 6. If you like a building with character, warmth and the best hosts around, go to the Parsonage. We have stayed there probably 10 or 12 times now. Jerry & Polly Murphy Sugar Grove, IL

Very nice clean rooms, quiet location, friendly owners, and an excellent breakfast. Very accommodating. They allowed us to use their garage for our motorcycle since the forecast predicted rain for the evening. It did rain and our bike stayed dry. Thank you! We would definately stay here again.
2,6 su giugno 27, 2010
Nice owners, nice place in general, not appealing to us. Specific problems: 1. Awakened at 5am - Loud creaking of floor when owner walking up and down steps several times woke us. Light in east facing room kept us awake. 2. "Bath in room" - I guess we should have asked if that meant full bathroom. Had to go down hall to common bathroom for shower. 3. Left after one night - though scheduled for 3, we decided not to stay as we didn't want to be woken every morning at 5am. We booked another hotel. We asked for a portion of our money back. It was refused.

I worked with Craig to set up a night in the B&B for my sister-in-law and brother. I live in Colorado, so we had to do everything remotely. Also, Craig helped me set up massages for my family. He has been the absolute epitome of friendliness. When I came to visit the Parsonage myself almost 2 years later, he remembered who I was and gave me a wonderful tour of the place. He even honored the gift certificate I had bought for my family, even though it had been one and a half years since I booked it (my sister-in-law was pregnant at the time and they decided to wait until the baby came and everything settled down.) Craig is wonderful to work with, the place is really cozy and adorable, and I would support this business anytime. Thanks for all your help, Craig!

I was there with my girlfriend in "Mentor" room with a hottub. The place is so relaxing and the breakfast is awesome. I would go again!

I was driving across the country and stopped at the Parsonage because I had a really good feeling about it. I am so glad I did! That night there was a snow storm and I ended up needing to stay an extra day. Not only was the stay affordable, but Craig truly made me feel at home. He really went out of his way to make sure my needs were met, without making it seem like an imposition at all. My room was lovely, the food delicious, and the service impecable. I recommend The Parsonage 100%!

I travel frequently for business and stay in the standard business hotels both in the U.S. and abroad. When I travel with my family we are apt to stay at the chain hotels. We had the pleasure of taking a family get-away (my husband, our 14 yr old and twin tweens). I have stayed at the Parsonage before, but had concerns about my children's reaction to a bed and breakfast. The weekend was beyond our expectations for comfort, hospitality and good food. It was great to have the space of house and the warmth of the Parsonage welcoming us. Our children so enjoyed the experience they have already asked when can we go again. Craig goes out of his way to make each stay memorable with outstanding breakfast food and friendly service. I would recommend the Parsonage for families looking to find an easy going atmosphere and the comforts of home.
5 su ottobre 29, 2009
This is a wonderful bed and breakfast, especially during the winter season. The decor is so cozy and warm, and there are lots of games and books to enjoy. Craig is a wonderful host and an amazing cook! The rooms are well furnished and clean.
5 su agosto 29, 2009
Craig does a great job on the rooms, the food, and the home! I would recommend the Parsonage to anybody looking for an affordable B&B near Madison!!! Thanks for a great get away!!!
4,8 su marzo 08, 2009
We had a wonderful time at the Parsonage. Craig met us with a big smile and told us to make ourselves at home. We relaxed, played games and read in the Fireplace room. The breakfast was fabulous. Have you ever had chocolate waffles??? I plan on staying again.
4,8 su marzo 03, 2009
Three of us stayed at the Parsonage on a wintery Saturday. We did not mind that there is no television because our plan for the weekend was to read, play games, and catch up. We had the Fireplace room and it was great. We enjoyed the fireplace and played games sitting in front of it. The owner, Craig, was very friendly and helpful. He made fresh chocolate chip cookies for us when we arrived, and was quick to provide us with anything we needed. The best part of our stay was the breakfast. All I can say was that it was fantastic! If you don't care about not having a TV I would highly recommend this B&B.
5 su febbraio 13, 2008
My wife & I and our friends have had the pleasure of staying with Craig multiple times. He is the best. You can count on friendly service and gormet (and interesting) breakfasts. You are at home when you stay at the Parsonage!

While the startup genome in Silicon Valley is always mutating, some formulas are becoming basic tenets in the science of startups. A critical mass of email about my use of the word "iterative" in my blogs prompts me to revisit one such startup fundamental—the so called "Lean Startup" formula.
Eric Ries, an engineer, entrepreneur, author and now an entrepreneur-in-residence at the Harvard Business School, coined this new concept, which has became a movement in the startup world. Steven Blank, a serial entrepreneur, lectures at Stanford about the model. In short he says: experiment in the marketplace from day one with the lowest-cost possible viable product and improve the product or service according to how customers react—the critical 'pivot.' This approach is less linear in the sense that students are no longer encouraged to follow the process of first drawing up a business plan, building a final product and then taking it to the marketplace. It is a lower-cost, much more "iterative" approach that quickly transforms mistakes and failures into business insight.
Mentors and investors seem to be looking out for this approach. Dave McClure of 500 Startups advised Sao Paulo web entrepreneurs during a Startup Weekend last November to stay lean through "feature killing" or testing whether users miss a feature when removed. This, he stressed, is much more important than the tendency to overbuild website features that do not increase user engagement.
Further, the higher flexibility which underpins this new startup model seems to be fueling a new wave of companies that find opportunities across fields. As Steve Lohr from the International Herald Tribune noted in his recent article "Silicon Valley's Brand of Start-ups," Lee Redden, a PhD candidate in engineering at Stanford with skills in artificial intelligence and computer vision, provides a good example of this. Redden is applying those skills to agriculture with his startup, Blue River Technology, by developing a robotic weed killer for organic farms. His computer-vision software can distinguish lettuces from weeds. Many entrepreneurial minds are doing the same, recognizing opportunities to apply Silicon Valley technology to medicine and transportation, among other fields.
Others are starting to listen to these ideas. The Kauffman Foundation for example, took that cross-disciplinary approach to its Kauffman Labs initiative. Kauffman Labs is designed to accelerate the number and success of new high-growth, scalable companies by offering a new method for teaching and training entrepreneurs in a lab setting. As part of this initiative, the Kauffman Education Ventures Program offered an intensive, hands-on, immersion program designed to catalyze the creation of high-growth, transformative companies in the education market. It will likely become a critical element of other initiatives to educate and support entrepreneurs. It also helps us better understand how and why company formation happens—and why they fail.
It is, as the dictionary says, "a procedure in which repetition of a sequence of operations yields results successively closer to a desired result". It is smart, flexible, customer-centric, new firm formation.

Grant Outcomes Reports
ASF is committed to giving talented young investigators with cutting-edge ideas the support they need to get their research off the ground. Since 2010, the Autism Science Foundation has funded 21 pre- and postdoctoral training awards. Our yearlong training grants are designed to help young investigators attract major funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and encourage them to dedicate their careers to advancing our understanding of autism.
When surveyed, each of our past grantees reported that the ASF training award was the first autism research grant they had won. Further, they all planned to remain in the autism field, with 83% reporting that our award increased their likelihood of pursuing an autism research career. Two young investigators said the award increased their commitment to specific research areas and confidence in their ability to secure funding and lead future research.
At the end of every grant period, we ask the grantees to share the outcomes of the funding they received.

The carbon tax has been repealed by the Senate but how much consumers will save as a result remains unclear.
The legislation will take effect retroactively, meaning consumers should see any additional carbon tax costs come off their bills dating back to 1 July. But estimates of significant annual savings on energy costs have been roundly contested.
"It's adding nine per cent to your power bills, it's a $9 billion handbrake on our economy and it's costing average Australian families $550 a year," Tony Abbott recently told the Queensland Liberal National Party convention, as Fairfax media reported.
But less than half that saving would reportedly come off power bills. The rest would be divided between food, clothing and rent.
The average Queensland family will save about $170 a year off their household electricity bill, Queensland Treasurer Tim Nicholls and Energy Minister Mark McArdle said in a joint statement.
Woolworths has said the repeal of the tax won't lower food prices in its stores because it didn't raise prices when the tax was introduced.
And Coles has said it is "working with suppliers to understand the implications of the change and if we identify any savings attributable to the tax changes we will pass them back to our customers".
Qantas says it has gotten rid of the carbon tax surcharge on domestic flights but won't be lowering standard fares, as CHOICE reported recently.
The Climate Institute says savings estimates reported in the media are probably overblown.
The price on carbon may be gone, but opposition leader Bill Shorten has indicated that Labor will push for an Emissions Trading Scheme at some point in the future and make it a campaign issue.

You Are as Old as You Eat
Sean Curran, who has a joint appointment at USC Dornsife, is corresponding author of a study that finds a genetic mechanism linking aging to specific diets.
Your best friend swears by the Paleo Diet. Your boss loves Atkins. Your sister is gluten-free, and your roommate is an acolyte of Michael Pollan. So who's right?
Maybe all four.
In new research published this month in Cell Metabolism, USC scientists Sean Curran and Shanshan Pang identified a collection of genes that allow an organism to adapt to different diets and showed that without the genes, even minor tweaks to diets can cause premature aging and death.
Finding a genetic basis for an organism's dietary needs suggests that different individuals may be genetically predisposed to thrive on different diets and that now, in the age of commercial gene sequencing, people might be able to identify which diet would work best for them through a simple blood test.
"These studies have revealed that single gene mutations can alter the ability of an organism to utilize a specific diet," said Curran, corresponding author of the study and assistant professor with joint appointments at USC Dornsife, the USC Davis School of Gerontology and the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
"In humans, small differences in a person's genetic makeup that change how well these genes function could explain why certain diets work for some but not others."
Curran and Pang studied Caenorhabditis elegans, a one-millimeter-long worm that scientists have used as a model organism since the '70s. Decades of tests have shown that genes in C. elegans are likely to be mirrored in humans while its short life span allows scientists to do aging studies on it.
In this study, Curran and Pang identified a gene called alh-6, which delayed the effects of aging depending on what type of diet the worm was fed by protecting it against diet-induced mitochondrial defects.
"This gene is remarkably well-conserved from single-celled yeast all the way up to mammals, which suggests that what we have learned in the worm could translate to a better understanding of the factors that alter diet success in humans," Curran said.
Future work will focus on identifying what contributes to dietary success or failure and whether these factors explain why specific diets don't work for everyone. This could be the start of personalized dieting based on an individual's genetic makeup, Curran said.
"We hope to uncover ways to enhance the use of any dietary program and perhaps even figure out ways of overriding the system(s) that prevent the use of one diet in certain individuals," he said.
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health (grant number AG032308), the Ellison Medical Foundation and the American Federation of Aging Research.

After the rapper's outstanding performance at the 2010 BET Awards, I had no idea what massive pendant he was wearing around his neck. Intrigued, I found out that his massive gold chain was part of the Kanye West Jewelry Collection.
Inspired by Egypt, the collection features a two-finger pyramid ring and a Horus pendant. Click through the gallery for a detailed look at the Kanye West Jewelry Collection.

It's easy to rag on Billy Corgan for being a hypersensitive narcissist who says ridiculous things, but he's been doing that for two decades now. (The first time I cringed at a Corgan comment? In 1994, when he reportedly said to Kim Thyail, after an uncomfortable interaction with the Soundgarden guitarist, "You hurt me deeply. You hurt me deeply in my heart.")
But Corgan's post-'90s music really shouldn't be judged alongside that aspect of his persona. No, the essential problem with the latter-day Smashing Pumpkins records (starting with 2000′s Machina/The Machines of God) is that they fall prey to what Rob Mitchum — in his review of the band's 2007 album Zeitgeist — called "the 'Zero' dimension." As Mitchum (accurately) assessed it, Corgan had left behind his band's softer side, to the music's detriment.
That was only a problem, of course, to the extent you didn't enjoy songs from the "Zero" dimension … until the first couple EPs from the Pumpkins' ambitious Teargarden By Kaleidyscope project emerged in 2010, which suggested not just a nadir for Corgan but popular music in the 21st century. Today, it's easy to look at the quote-unquote Smashing Pumpkins and look away in disgust: There's ol' Charlie Brown (front, center) with a bunch of demographically diverse scrubs, at least two of whom probably never even saw the inside of a studio while the music was being recorded.
He's made such a mess of things that really, how do you even accurately catalog Corgan's, um, catalog? The new Oceania is technically the band's ninth studio LP, but that seems misleading: It leaves out 1994′s Pisces Iscariot, a collection of early non-album tracks that is better than the majority of the music released in the '90s, yet it includes Machina II/The Friends And Enemies Of Modern Music, which was never released to stores and is plainly an addendum to the more traditionally distributed Machina. And how to account for Teargarden, an ongoing "album" of which Oceania is considered a segment? Furthermore, what about Corgan's 2005 solo album, TheFutureEmbrace, which shares at least as much DNA with the Pumpkins as the band's own fourth album, 1998′s Adore, or the lone release from Corgan's Zwan — 2003′s wildly underrated Mary Star Of The Sea — which shares even more of that DNA?
In terms of its personnel, Oceania may be a "Smashing Pumpkins" album in name only (Corgan is obviously the only original Pumpkin left in the patch), but from a musical perspective, it feels like it deserves that name. The album opens with "Quasar," and the guitar-bass-drums interplay with which the song begins recalls two other Pumpkins album openers: "I Am One" (from 1991′s Gish) and "Cherub Rock" (from 1993′s Siamese Dream). It's a far cry from those classics, of course, but it's a good omen — an announcement that, maybe, Corgan has exited the "Zero" dimension. Like much of the best Smashing Pumpkins work, the album never settles on one sound, although it's blatantly dreamier and less rat-in-a-cage raging than any other Pumpkins' LP released this millennium. The album's entire second quarter — "Violet Rays," "My Love Is Winter," One Diamond, One Heart," and "Pinwheels" — is composed of ballads, but their tones and instrumentation vary (from acoustic guitars to Adore-esque synths). The title track is a proggy marathon that tries to squeeze about half of Melon Collie into its nine minutes. And the album closes on three ferocious guitar-heavy anthems that veer in and out of the "Zero" dimension without getting stuck there. All along, new drummer Mike Byrne serves as a more-than-passable stand-in for departed skinsman (and Corgan's only real collaborator) Jimmy Chamberlin. The album's immediate highlight is "The Celestials," a sweeping, swelling, quiet-loud-quiet ballad that kind of makes me feel like I'm flying; it's easily the catchiest song Corgan has written since "1979." (If radio and MTV still existed, they might even play the thing.)
It's typical to overreact when a once-great artist — previously believed to be deep into his dotage — hits that sweet spot again, but I don't think I'm being hyperbolic when I say that Oceania is Corgan's best album since Mary Star Of The Sea, and the best Smashing Pumpkins album since … Melon Collie? (Adore apologists will take exception to this.) He'll never again reach the heights of those first three albums — who will? — but it's good to hear, at least, he's climbing.

People like Michael Nelson have no business writing about Smashing Pumpkins. None. He is a typical clueless snob who shits on Corgan (like just about everyone else at Stereogum whenever they get a chance) and calls the other well qualified band members "scrubs." What an asshole. And to say at least two of those "scrubs" probably never saw a recording studio while Teargarden was being recorded is also 100% false. This foursome has been more dedicated and individually talented at recording with Billy than anyone who was in the band beforehand (say for Jimmy Chamberlin). Just another ignoramus who doesn't get that and never understood SP's recording history – that James and D'Arcy sucked at recording their parts, so Butch Vig had Corgan do them himself on those first 2 SP CDs.
Leave it to non-fans like Nelson and this Rob Mitchum idiot he mentions, to wrongly say the Pumpkins ever left their "softer" side behind, from Machina/Machina II and on through Zeitgeist. What a stupid, ignorant assessment of post-'90s SP. Some of Corgan's most beautiful and coolest "soft" songs were on those records. If these guys didn't like post-'90s Pumpkins, fine. But just because SP didn't do a, "1979 part 2," or a generic follow-up to "Tonight, Tonight" doesn't mean they didn't have any great non-loud songs from that era.
Ever hear "Try, Try, Try" (one of the band's best ever songs), or "That's The Way (My Love Is)"? Or how about "Age of Innocence," "With Every Light," (from Machina I) and "If There Is A God" and "Let Me Give The World To You" (the latter two from Machina II)?
Get a clue, Stereogum. And stop starting every post with some cheap, irrelevant reference or link to some statements Corgan made that you didn't like. I don't agree or care what Corgan thinks of this or that, just that he makes good quality music. And whether Stereogum has been paying close attention or not, he's been doing it for over 20 years now.

Oprah Winfrey Has a Farm -- And It's Gorgeous
The media mogul has opened the doors to her Maui, Hawaii farm in the June 2013 issue of O Magazine, showing off her 780 acres of lush terrain in the gorgeous editorial spread.
"It felt like we were not using the land to its ultimate potential and purpose and giving back to the people of the land, so right now, we're growing all these vegetables," Winfrey, 59, says of the produce her farm grows.
"We tested our soil and enriched our soil and we have have some of the richest... I mean our soil is like chocolate around here."
However, a photographic tour of her agricultural retreat is the tip of the iceberg: Winfrey is also hosting a contest in which loyal readers can win a chance to tour the farm with the Queen of TV and enjoy a meal prepared by her personal chef.
Um, our mouths are salivating.

Saigo Takamori
Saigo Takamori
biographical name(born Jan. 23, 1828, Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japandied Sept. 24, 1877, Kagoshima) Japanese military and political leader of the late Tokugawa and early Meiji periods. A samurai from the domain of Satsuma, Saigo joined Okubo Toshimichi and Kido Takayoshi in working to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate (military government) and restore rule by the emperor. He commanded the troops that seized control of the imperial palace from the shogunate, and went on to lead a campaign against the shogunate's supporters. After the Meiji Restoration (1868), he was given command of the new Imperial Guard. In 1873 he supported a war with Korea; when this plan was cancelled, he resigned from government. He opened a military school in his native Kagoshima that drew to it disaffected former samurai (class distinctions had been abolished in 1871). In 1877 some of his disciples attacked a government arsenal, and he found himself the unwilling head of a rebellion. It lasted for six months and resulted in some 12,000 dead on both sides, including Saigo himself. He is regarded as a tragic hero by the Japanese.

MV "ATLAS" is hull #10 of the Nordhavn 62 series. True to the Nordhavn line, N62 "ATLAS" has logged tens of thousands of miles that include several trans-oceanic passages, confirming her suitability of purpose and exhibiting traits that have made the Nordhavn 62 one of the most successful Nordhavn models to date.
MV "ATLAS" comes to the market as a result of her owners' changes in future objectives, presenting a rare opportunity to take possession of a fully bunkered turn-key yacht of this class immediately. Her current owners have thoroughly worked through every equipment and system detail onboard, and have logged many thousands of cruising miles. The exterior is in "Bristol" condition, and the interior is beautifully appointed in a manner that makes every living space a comfortable one.
MV "ATLAS" is easily handled by a couple, offers superb interior design and renowned sea keeping abilities. Enjoying the benefits of a decade-long evolution, the Nordhavn 62 has matured into a proven, timeless passage maker that has achieved an impressive record of successful ocean voyages. Capable of cruising non-stop in excess of 3,000 nautical miles at 9 knots, she is a vessel designed to take her owners around the world in comfort, style and safety. The N62 is arguably the most recognized and admired production displacement recreational trawler ever built. . MV "ATLAS" is carefully maintained, and has been constantly upgraded. Her owner is a Master Mariner who takes great pride in her appearance and in maintaining her operational systems to a high standard, regardless of cost.
MV "ATLAS" is a two owner vessel. Many of her knowledgeable first owner's design and engineering ideas have been incorporated as standard on subsequent boats of this model.
MV "ATLAS" offers the practical asymmetrical layout with walkway on starboard side, giving huge accommodation space in the saloon and galley.
Stepping through the custom double doors from the cockpit brings you into the saloon/galley area. The dinette is to starboard, with a removable center section to the table. To port is the entertainment center with new digital television and omni-directional antenna. Forward and to port is the functional galley with working and storage space and appliances suitable for the finest chef. To the starboard side of the galley area, there is a foyer with a door leading to the stbd. side deck, stairs leading up aft to the pilothouse, and steps down forward to the accommodation area. The pilothouse settee is L-shaped and has storage beneath; there is a deluxe helm chair, chart storage lockers, a Norcold fridge, numerous drawers and lockers and chart table. There are two Dutch doors leading to the Portuguese bridge deck. Two dorades and three hatches provide ventilation.
Back down below, heading forward from the saloon and down two steps, the owner's stateroom is to port of the companionway. This stateroom is perfectly positioned just slightly aft of center and is fitted with a queen sized berth and inner spring mattress, and there is an ensuite head with separate stall shower, hanging locker, and make-up bureau desk. Generous hatches and port lights provide ventilation. Storage is very generous in this stateroom.
Just to the aft side of the door to the OSR, is the engine room entrance. The door to the engine room is a watertight door, forming one of the three collision bulkheads in the Nordhavn 62.
Further forward to starboard is the guest stateroom #1 incorporating an ensuite head with separate stall shower. And further forward again is the guest stateroom #2. This stateroom is fitted with a generous double bed and has a full size head and separate stall shower. Below the sole in this head provides access into the pump/plumbing room.
On the starboard side of the companionway going forward from the galley, the electrical distribution board is handily located on the outboard side opposite the access door to the engine room. Forward of the distribution board is a generous walk-in pantry, with shelves and drawers, perfectly suited to storing the ship's provisions. Forward again on the starboard side of the companionway is a separate day head with wash basin and storage lockers. And forward again on starboard opposite the #1 guest cabin is the work room or laundry room. This area features a large workbench, ironing board, laundry bin and clothes dryer.
Access to the chain locker is through a door in the forward bulkhead, or via the Freeman deck hatch. All hatches throughout have Ocean Air sky screens. The settees in the saloon and pilothouse have recently been reupholstered in Scottish calf skin leather. All berths are fitted with Sheridan sheets and Bemboka blankets.

checking for duplicate input
on a password field i would like to prevent them from entering 00000 or xxxxx any char more than twice consecutively, i know there are names that are spelled with double o's so im thinking that twice is enough anything more than that would not be allowed.
i would like it to be set to check for more than twice consecutive and also more than 4x whole string..
i have all spaces coverd i just remove them, so im ok there but not sure how i would go about checking for the rest..
i know how to do value.indexof but i would have to give it an array to check correct? just not sure what function to use here..
maybe im going about this the wrong way here. the bottom line is i dont want anyone to be able to type in xxxxxx or 000000 or ...... or anything like that as a password..
update : maybe i can use count_chars functionLast edited by durangod; 12-08-2010 at 03:01 PM.

I think you want to use a regular expression.
preg_match() uses a regular expression to search a string.PHP Code:
if(preg_match('/(.)(?=\1{2})/i',$string)) die('You entered three or more of the same characters in a row!');
the (.) in the first part says store a character in the reference \1
the (?=\1{2}) tells it to look for two more of the same immediately following it
$string (the second parameter) would be your input
You might want to google regular expressions for more.
Not sure what you mean by that, but if you need more help let me know.i would like it to be set to check for more than twice consecutive and also more than 4x whole string..
