Nice pools inside and outside. Good breakfast buffet.
It would be nice if they had a small "pantry" for travelers wanting chips, water or candy.
Close to freeway, easy to find, large and clean room, friendly staff, down the street from a great restaurant called Pappadeaux.
Balcony looks over an indoor pool, which is odd. Sitting out there by a heated pool and sauna feels muggy and gross. Very dated building. The elevator we were directed to use felt like a cramped service elevator that was tucked awkwardly into a narrow hallway.
It was a very luxurious hotel and the staff couldn't have been more accomodating
The room was small, considering the size of the hotel. We personally did not like looking over the atrium and next time would book a room with a window to outside, for fresh air.

Convenient location
Room details from your confirmation, "mini-refrigerator adn Club Lounge access". We were told none of the rooms had fridges, but was supplied one when I insisted. Were told that and outside group had booked teh Club Lounge, which we saw vacant all week. Were told that "they" (the hotel? Crowne Plaza?? Booking.com???) should update the webpage". Asked for a room on the "quiet side of the house" and was placed overlooking the outdoor pool and the indoor pool was outside the front door. No sleep until after 10PM. Broken tiles and loose fixtures in the bathroom. No inspection/permit in elevator or posted to be in office. Auxiliary fan propping open elevator mechanical room. Be hard pressed to choose either Crowne Plaza or Bookings.com again.
really noisie in hallways needed assistance from the operator called twice it just rang with no answer
Prices expensive and breakfast expensive
Nice hotel, great staff and breakfast.
We had a room in the corner with no view and it was pretty tiny. Clean though

Explore Georgia history with a 200-mile drive along the state's Chieftains Trail through a region the Cherokee people called "the enchanted land."
As you visit each stop along the route through the foothills of northwest Georgia, its Native American heritage comes to life as you immerse yourself in the early cultures — Mississippian, Creek and Cherokee — that populated the state.
Several cities serve as primary entry points to the trail: Cartersville, Rome and Dalton. (Access the trail's downloadable map to plan your trip.)
Start in Cartersville, about an hour northwest of Atlanta, at the Etowah Indian Mounds, a political and religious center for the Mississippian tribe. Six earthen mounds, a plaza, a village site and other archeologically significant places make up the 54-acre state historic community, considered the most intact Mississippian village in the Southeast.
From Cartersville, travel to Rome's Chieftains Museum, in the former home of Major Ridge, a leader of the Cherokee Nation. Ironically, he later signed the Treaty of New Echota, leading to the removal of thousands of Cherokees from their land. Today, the museum, part of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, tells the story of the Cherokee alongside artifacts unearthed on the site.
Continue to Calhoun, home of the New Echota State Historic Site, and where the Cherokee people assembled for their forced removal and where the Trail of Tears officially started. The former Cherokee capital is now home to a dozen original and reconstructed buildings, including a print shop, courthouse and council house.
Farther north in Chatsworth, take a guided tour of the Chief Vann House Historic Site, known as the "showplace of the Cherokee Nation," and considered Georgia's best-preserved Cherokee home. Marvel at the cantilevered "floating" staircase that leads to one and a half additional levels while balancing itself without support. Chatsworth is also home to Fort Mountain State Park, where it's believed early Native Americans built the property's 855-foot-long wall as fortification from attacks.
The last stop of the trail takes you to Funk Heritage Center of Reinhardt University in Waleska. Allow plenty of time to take in the interpretive center's many exhibits, which include a Hall of Ancients with artifacts, dioramas and interactive programs, the Rogers Contemporary Native American Art Gallery and an Appalachian settlement.
Fascinating history and beautiful detours make up Georgia's lengthy Chieftains Trail.
Allow two to three days to get the most out of your journey. Convenient and comfortable accommodations along the route include the Victorian Gothic Claremont House Bed & Breakfast in Rome and the cottages at Fort Mountain State Park in Chatsworth.

Roseman: Yes, you can sell a home without an agent
Can you attract buyers and their agents if you cut out commission and decide to sell your house yourself? Yes you can.
You're thinking about selling your home. But the idea of paying a 5 per cent real-estate commission leaves you cold.
Your agent and the buyer's agent will typically split a commission of $17,500 on a $350,000 property – or $50,000 on a $1 million property.
Can you pay less and do more yourself? And can you attract potential buyers and their agents to your property if you cut commissions?
Last November, Competition Bureau Commissioner Melanie Aitken reached a historic agreement with the real estate industry to open up the market to do-it-yourself sellers.
Now you can show your home on Realtor.ca, the Multiple Listing Service website run by the Canadian Real Estate Association, even if you're using a discount broker.
You can also put your phone number into an MLS listing, allowing buyers to contact you directly.
This is a momentous change in real estate sales. It opens the door to those who want to sell properties on their own, without worrying about low traffic because they're blocked from the MLS.
Most people haven't caught up with the news, according to a poll by TitlePlus (a title insurance product owned by Canada's lawyers).
Although 97 per cent of Canadians who have bought or sold a home are aware of the MLS, only 11 per cent understand how recent MLS changes will affect them when they buy or sell a home privately.
Still, about 70 per cent see value in working with a real estate lawyer when going it alone to buy or sell a house, the poll showed.
For example, sellers can pay $380 to list at Propertyshop.ca, a new discount real estate service run by a group of lawyers, including 40 in the Toronto area. They get some services, including a talking lawn sign that gives a prerecorded three-minute message about the property.
Propertyshop.ca lawyers charge an extra $109 for access to an MLS listing, provided by a well-known discounter in Ottawa, Joe William of Best Value Real Estate.
Michael Forcier, a lawyer in Owen Sound, Ont., started the company after observing the practice in Scotland, where real estate is sold through lawyers charging commissions of 1 to 1.5 per cent.
With the proliferation of Canadian discount realtors, he saw an opening for lawyers to get involved. Propertyshop.ca lawyers charge a percentage fee of 1 to 2 per cent to help sellers negotiate contracts.
Almost half of sellers say their lawn signs lead to buyer traffic and deals, Forcier says.
Propertyguys.com, based in Moncton, N.B., started selling franchises a decade ago. It has 106 franchise locations in about 600 communities.
"We're bringing a new reality to buyers and sellers," says Ken LeBlanc, President and CEO of PropertyGuys.com, calling it "a non-agent-led transaction."
He's referring to the fact that some buyers have representation agreements with realtors, guaranteeing that a commission is paid even when they're buying from a private seller.
Propertyguys.com sellers pay about $400 for marketing support and $300 for an MLS listing, depending on the franchise operator. They may also pay a 2.5 per cent commission to a buyer's agent.
LeBlanc leads me to the company's website to look at a Mississauga home listed for $710,000. I find 27 photos, including virtual tours of the kitchen and den, and have no trouble locating the owners' names and numbers.
"Please note: Our listings are maintained by home sellers," the website says. "Our sellers are generally pretty honest and well-intentioned folks, but we can't guarantee the accuracy of the information on this page.
"If you're interested in this property, please ask lots of questions and independently verify the information in this listing."
I'm not discounting the value that real estate salespeople bring to the table. They have training, experience and objectivity about a property's delights and drawbacks.
However, their commissions have risen sharply with house price inflation, making them an expensive option for some sellers.
If you're determined to do it yourself, you now have feasible alternatives. And at last, you can show your property on the real estate website that draws the most traffic from potential buyers.

Hi after reading a few threads on cider making do u need to rack to a secondary container or just bottle straight from primary. I have made wine in the past and always use a secondary container. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you
Hi bristolcity, I generally rack to help clear the cider and remove the yeast but quick cider (ready to drink in a month) doesn't need to be racked into secondary vessels. It won't taste as good as it might but there is no requirement, IMO, that you use a secondary.
I'm new to the world of brewing and cidering. I have some cider in my primary and don't own a secondary. How long can I leave my cider in primary? If I leave it in primary to long will I get off flavors? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
Thank you Bernard I will use a secondary as with wine it helps it to clear and settle how long roughly would you suggest I leave the cider in the secondary 1-2 weeks
Thank for the advice
I agree with Maylar. I generally ferment my apple juice in a bucket and rack the cider into a carboy with no headroom between the top of the cider and the mouth of the carboy when the gravity falls close to 1.005. Into this carboy I will have added k-meta to inhibit oxidation. I then seal the carboy with a bung and airlock and may allow the cider to age 2 -3 months before racking this onto K-meta and allowing the cider to age about the same amount of time again.
This might sound stupid but if I don't ask il never know what's the purpose of k-meta is it to stop or kill off infection in your cider
Thanks guys for the good info! I saw food grade buckets at menards while picking up some stuff for work. Would these 5 gals bucket make good secondary fermenters? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
No need for the secondary unless you are going to let sit longer than a month. Esspecially as new brewer. Its like the difference between a t bone steak and a riveted. Yea the t bone will be amazing but the ribeye will be good also. And no menards buckets are not good for secondary. My personal belief is the secondary should never be in plastic.

Kirby Lauryen - Daddy's Child
Artist: Kirby Lauryen
Producer: Kirby Lauryen
Album: The Introduction EP
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 17 votes )
Depression, drug addiction, social alienation, crime, dropping out of school…—the harmful effects of an absent or neglectful father are legion and well-documented. Seeing as the brute facts don't seem to dissuade dudes from walking out on their their sons and daughters, however, up-and-coming soul songstress Kirby Lauryen has decided to try a different tack, framing the importance of present, engaged parenting in the form of a fresh, heartstring-tugging ballad. On Daddy's Child, one of three artist-produced/written records on her forthcoming EP, the Berklee Music College student showcases her skills as an instrumentalist and composer as well as a vocalist. With only her own understated piano arrangement as an accompaniment, Lauryen offers several examples of the lasting psychological scars of fatherlessness, telling the men in question "If you think the hurt you cause don't bruise, you got it wrong…" Has this emotionally-charged cut struck a chord? In addition to copping The Introduction, available online as of February 27, fans can tune into her YouTube channel daily for the latest installments of her ongoing Song a Day series.

Dungeon Hunter 3 screenshots leak
Gameloft's Dungeon Hunter series has delivered some of my favorite gameplay on iOS -- the second game, especially, has made for some really great single-player moments, and even some terrific co-op gameplay. Sure, the series is heavily influenced by Diablo and other hack-and-slash RPG titles, but considering Blizzard hasn't yet made a game for iOS yet, I'm happy to let Gameloft do it for now. Dungeon Hunter itself is so popular that it's even made the jump to the PS3 as a full downloadable console game.
And while the company hasn't actually announced Dungeon Hunter 3, that hasn't stopped a few images from the game from leaking out onto the Interwebs. Slide to Play found an Italian blog that's got a few pictures from the unannounced title, and they look ... about like what you'd expect: Better graphics, new enemies, and about the same gameplay as before. The shot above even apes what we've seen of Diablo 3 a little bit, though obviously we're not quite looking at the level of polish in Blizzard's game.
That doesn't really matter, though -- if it allows us to hack and slash through bad guys and collect the sweet, shiny loot that drops from their corpses, I'm all for it.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
So when are they going to start selling this thing?
Same answer as always: Because Dell thinks it can maximize it's profits with this lineup. How badly do you want the 512 GB SSD? Yep, I thought so...
Call me when they can make an automated car that car drive in snowy conditions when no lane landmarks are visible. Or one that can turn into a lane of busy traffic that currently requires you to make eye contact with another driver to get them to slow down and let you in. Then we can worry about legalizing it. Legalization is trivial compared to the technical challenges. Personally, I suspect that there won't be a truly automated cars in my lifetime.
There is virtually nothing (not even Ebola) that can get through basic procedures, even with humans treating them. Even without full isolation, just making sure that direct bodily contact does not occur is enough to stop basically anything - hence why doctors wear rubber gloves even if they digging into your internals with blood everywhere.
Such a thing would be so unbelievably infectious that we'd all have it - planet-wide - within a couple of days. It's just not in the nature of such things to be that infectious. Ebola is actually no worse than AIDS, from what I can tell from a quick search.
There are so many things wrong with this, it is hard to know where to start...
Many diseases are much more infectious than ebola. I recall from medical school that you can catch chicken pox (if you haven't had it or been vaccinated) from the air two hours after a patient has left the room. Influenza is also much more infectious than ebola, which is why is spreads around the world in weeks/months every year.
Fortunately ebola is not nearly so infectious. But if someone is having continuous watery diarrhea and bleeding everywhere (e.g. Ebola) and your job is to roll them over every hour, while they are thrashing around, to clean up their bloody virus-laden excrement, and your only protection is mask/gloves/gown - well, good luck.
HIV requires that you get infected bodily fluid (usually blood) into your own bloodstream, which is much hard than catching Ebola.
"Ask Slashdot: Where's the Most Unusual Place You've Written a Program From?"
A preposition is a terrible thing to end a sentence with!
Adobe Lightroom - does 95% of what I would do with photoshop, works on raw images and simplifies my workflow tremendously. I almost never use photoshop anymore.
Ubuntu, Windows 8.1, Libreoffice, Adobe Reader, - self explanatory.
Firefox with Adblock plus and Better Privacy and HTPS Everywhere installed.
KeepassX - Password manager. Multiplatform, much less buggy than Keepass2 (note to develepers: please take it out of alpha status!)
F.Lux - warms up the color of your monitor in the evenings so that it doesn't interfere with your circadian rhythm, hopefully improves sleep. (hey - it's free!)
Videolan (VLC) - excellent video player (despite the crappy name)
Sandboxie (paid $$) - Sandbox your browser and various other programs
FastOne Image Viewer - excellent, free sildeshow software
Secunia PSI - makes sure your programs are kept up-to-date
As a physician, I am not sure I understand the concern after reading the article. After all, if a drug is higher potency, you just prescribe less of it. Higher potency does not equal higher efficacy (efficacy if the maximum effect that a drug can produce, potency refers to how much of the drug it takes to get that effect). We already have a ton of highly addictive opioids on the market, and hydrocodone is hardly one of the most effective narcotics. If the main ingredient is hydrocodone, how can it be more potent than other hydrocodone containing drugs? Maybe the concern is that it will be easier to get than other narcotics, but hydrocodone is being switched to the more-restrictive Schedule II drug class like oxycodone. Maybe this pill provides a higher dose of hydrocodone than existing medications? The article doesn't say. No doubt people will abuse this new pill, but it is not clear to me why it is thought that this will cause more addiction than already exists...
The killer feature for me would be that it was available on Verizon. Can anyone tell from this documentation?
I bought a Sony Vaio Z about 3 years ago and, since the line has been discontinued, I have felt there really wasn't an equivalent laptop on the market. Before I would be tempted by this new laptop, it would have to best the specs of my 3 year old laptop:
1920x1080 IPS screen
excellent backlit keyboard
excellent trackpad
exchangeable battery
2.53 GHz Core I5 processor (boost 3.06 GHz)
3.07 lbs or less (the mentioned laptop appears to be exactly this weight)
My current laptop also has a DVD drive, which pretty much makes it irreplaceable (and at the time, it could have been purchased with a blu-ray burner for $500 more without really impacting the weight. Core i7 versions were also available).
My laptop also has discreet graphics and 4 SSDs set up in Raid 0. However, I suspect that integrated graphics and more modern SSD's may mean that the performance on this new laptop from Samsung may equal or exceed that of my current laptop.
It's a pity that Sony discontinued the Vaio Z line of laptops, as, even 3 years later, they appear to have no peer.
Disclaimer: this laptop cost $2400 in 2010 and, fully loaded, the cost could have gone over $4000.
Disclaimer 2: Yes, I can live without a DVD drive, but, all things being equal, I prefer to have one built-in.

Really? I thought it was the movie Star Wars the scared the Soviet Union into surrendering.
Distracted drivers - you've seen them. Possibly you've been hit by them. They look away from the road, even for a couple seconds and BAM!
Perhaps. However, I suspect more crashes are caused by bored drivers who are not paying attention to what they are doing. That is probably why the number of car accidents has gone down even while cell phone ownership has gone from 0% of the population to 91%. I think it also explains why studies of cellphone use while driving predict dire consequences, and those consequences fail to materialize in the real world. You have to pay attention if you're trying to use a cellphone at the same time you are driving.

I'm in the midst of my build, I had a thought. I plan on having the temp probe at the top of the pot similar to high gravity's. With the temp probe at this location, the mash will see the correct temp of the pid as the probe is after the heatloss. If say you had the probe within the kettle or at the outlet of the kettle, the return wort would have cooled below the setpoint due to heatloss from the tubing and the pump. The thought that just occurred to me is with my planned setup, the wort in the kettle near the element will be at a higher temp than my setpoint. Will this be a large temperature difference? How much heat is actually lost in the tubing while recirculating? And the best for last, will this denature or even change the actual mash temp since the wort is hotter at one point in the system?
The difference should only be a matter of a few degrees and should give you an accurate enough reading. You shouldn't have to worry about denaturing.
If you are concerned about heat loss you can always locate your temp probe on the return after the pump but just before it returns to the top of the mash. If you place the probe at the top of the mash in the kettle you will see greater temp swings near the element. I would place a second probe at the bottom of the mash just to be able to monitor what is going on in your setup at that location.
If you haven't built it yet, why not put the probe in a tee on the kettle output? I don't think it will make a huge difference, but you won't have to worry about denaturing enzymes.
I would put the probe in a tee at the kettle output. Measure the temperature as you return it to the kettle a few times and verify the heat loss to reassure yourself that everything is OK. I have found that the heat loss from my kettle through the pump and back to the kettle is on the order of 0.5 to 1.0 degree depending upon flow rate, higher flow = lower loss. If something starts to go wrong I would rather not have the wort overheat.

Ah, it's not a RIMS... I didn't get that until just now. Regardless... seems like putting it at the top after cooling from the pump and the lines would be the place to take measurements... just like shown in his example.

Write a ReviewThe Perfect Fixture for Old Oversize Clawfoot Tub
By Peter S. from Cheffield, MA on Mar 18, 2009
It's not often I'm happy with a product, but this fixture exceeds expectations. It was not easy finding a modern fixture for an antique oversized clawfoot tub -- the holes and spacing dimensions are different from modern ones. The instructions could have been more step-by-step, and the diagram didn't tell you where gaskets go and in what orders.

Looking for unusual breeding birds in Pennsylvania? Have you ever been to the Pennsylvania's Northern Tier?
This June the Pennsylvania Society of Ornithology (PSO) will hold field trips and its 2014 annual meeting at the University of Pittsburgh in Bradford, Pennsylvania from Friday evening June 6 through midday Sunday June 8.
Bradford is the county seat of McKean County, one of the few places in Pennsylvania where you can find breeding saw-whet owls, merlins, Swainson's thrushes, mourning warblers and pine siskins.
On Saturday and Sunday a choice of six field trips will lead you to local hotspots including Kinzua Dam and the Allegheny National Forest. Presentations on Saturday afternoon include Golden-winged warblers, Saw-whet Owl breeding habitat, Snowy Owls and a raptor show open to the public.
Saturday night's keynote speaker will be Dr. Bridget Stutchbury of York University, Toronto whose studies of songbird migration have revealed their routes, wintering grounds and breeding grounds on two continents. Her work with wood thrushes in Pennsylvania inspired me to write about their journeys last May.
Everyone is welcome at the PSO Annual Meeting. You don't have to be a member to attend, though members get a discount.

Fill your feeders and get ready for the bird count you can do in your pajamas.
For four days — tomorrow February 14 through Monday February 17 — you can participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count from the comfort of your home. All you need to do is count birds for at least 15 minutes, keep track of the highest number of each species you see, and record your count on eBird (instructions here). If you take pictures, submit them to the GBBC Photo Contest.
Join with others across the continent in this weekend science project. Your data will show trends in winter bird populations across North America as you can see in these statistics from prior years.
Don't want to stay indoors? You can count birds anywhere or join others at one of these local events. (Scroll down for the many events in Pennsylvania.) Here's how to participate no matter where you choose to count.
Meanwhile, you can practice counting with this photo by Marcy Cunkelman. What species and how many birds are in the picture?

Are you curious about the snowy owls visiting us this winter? Would you like to know who the owls are and where they're going? So would a team of scientists. They're going to find out and you can help.
This winter's snowy owl irruption is so huge that by December ornithologists and wildlife managers realized they had a golden opportunity to find the answers to many questions: How old are the owls? What sex are they? Have they been exposed to toxins? Where are they going?
Thus was born Project SNOWstorm, a collaboration of 18 scientists and 13 organizations. The project tags snowy owls, collects data on their age, sex, and blood toxins (if any), and maps their movements via satellite. The project also collects location-specific photos of snowy owls from anyone who wants to help.
So far Project SNOWstorm has tagged two owls, one at Buena Vista, Wisconsin, the other at Assateague, Maryland. As soon as each owl was released his tag began transmitting at regular intervals. Their location data is continuously collected, then mapped to make a picture of the owls' movements.
With only two tagged owls we can already see two different approaches. "Buena Vista" never moves far from his favorite winter territory (click here for his late December map). "Assateague," on the other hand, loves to wander and has visited three states in only two weeks! (Click here for Assateague's map).
You can help Project SNOWstorm in two ways. If you take pictures of snowy owls this winter, you can submit them to the project to add to their database.
Better yet, help buy more transmitters and tag more owls by making a tax deductible contribution to Project SNOWstorm via the Indiegogo website.

Have you ever heard your own words and learned something new from them?
I'd forgotten about an interview I did five years ago on The Allegheny Front until I stumbled upon it last week while writing about the Lower Buffalo Christmas Bird Count.
In the four and a half minute interview I found some useful resolutions for the New Year:
"Go outdoors, look around, look up. [Outdoors you'll] get a view of things that are bigger than yourself. … I find it very calming to see that life goes on despite whatever is going on in my head. Nature is still rolling."

On this, the last day of 2013, I'm sending a big thank you to the photographers who allow me to use their photos on my blog.
You've seen my own photographs in this space but none of them match the work of others, especially the six who contributed the most this year. From left to right, starting at top:
These folks are only the tip of the iceberg. So many photographers have contributed their work that there's not room to list them all. (See the Photographers page!) I also owe a debt of gratitude to those who publish their work using the Creative Commons license for all to share.
So here's a BIG THANK YOU to all the photographers who've given me permission to use their work. This blog would not be possible without you.
(composite photo from each of the photographers' websites or Facebook pages)
p.s. I didn't tell the photographers in advance that I needed their portraits so I had to glean photos from their websites or Facebook. After publication, Marcy Cunkelman sent this photo of herself.

Even though drivers Dani Sordo and Kris Meeke are only running about half of this year's rally schedule of 13 races, they've already managed two podium finishes and and a 4th/5th finish in their latest race, the Rally of Spain. After the race, Meeke had this to say:
After 40 kilometres [25 miles] we were only four seconds off the top speed. Now we know we've got a fast car on our hands. Next year we'll be competing for the championship title.
For a team just getting off the ground, in an incredibly challenging racing series like WRC, MINI's successes so far are nothing short of phenomenal. It's a testament not only to MINI's racing heritage, but MINI's commitment to taking their entry into the WRC very, very seriously. By partnering with Prodrive, MINI isn't just dabbling with racing for the sake of marketing. They're out to win. Kris Meeke thinks they can chase down the WRC title next year, and if these early showings are any indication, I believe him.

After a whirlwind of a week, John Travolta's first accuser -- known simply as John Doe for privacy reasons -- has dropped his sexual assault lawsuit against the actor.
This dismissal comes on the heels of evidence that contradicted the date John Doe gave for the alleged incident. John Doe claimed Travolta made sexual advances during a massage appointment at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Jan. 16.
Travolta's lawyer later provided a photo that indicated Travolta was at the Greenwich Hotel in New York and enjoying meals at Mr. Chow that evening. John Doe's former lawyer, Okorie Okorocha, claimed that Travolta could have traveled there in time.
Okorocha explained the case dismissal to People.com: "Let's just say we had differences in opinion of how to handle the case and decided to part ways."
Despite Tuesday's dismissal of the first case in the U.S. District Court, a second John Doe is still suing John Travolta for $2 million, but his lawyer said on May 14 that he's willing to settle the case for $250,000.
The second John Doe alleges that he, too, had an inappropriate encounter while giving the actor a massage at an Atlanta hotel.
Okorocha, who formerly represented the first John Doe and still represents the second one, believes other men may come forward.
Okorcha said, "There's a bunch of accusers against Travolta who have similar accusations. Many have contacted me, and I'm still vetting their stories. More defendants might come forward soon."
Through his lawyer, Martin Singer, John Travolta has denied all of these claims.

Description This application is a division of application Ser. No. 10/974,176, filed Oct. 26, 2004, now abandoned entitled, �INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH A MULTI-LENGTH POWER TRANSISTOR SEGMENTS�, which is assigned to the assignee of the present application. The present invention relates generally to the field of semiconductor devices; more specifically, to monolithic power integrated circuits and to methods of manufacturing power devices. Power integrated circuits (PICs) find application in an increasingly wide variety of electronic devices. Typically,. PlCs comprise one or more high-voltage field effect transistors (HVFETs) having a device structure such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,207,994 (�the '994 patent�), which is herein incorporated by reference. Each of the devices disclosed in the '994 patent has a source region and a drain region separated by an intermediate region. A gate structure is disposed over a thin oxide layer over the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) channel of the device. In the on state, a voltage is applied to the gate to cause a conduction channel to form between the source and drain regions, thereby allowing current to flow through the device. In the off state, the voltage on the gate is sufficiently low such that no conduction channel is formed in the substrate, and thus no current flow occurs. In this condition, high voltage is supported between the drain and source regions. Most power integrated circuits (ICs) contain one or more output HVFETs that control current flow through one or more external loads. By way of example, To achieve maximum utilization of the package space that houses semiconductor die 10, control circuit 11 is usually designed with a length that is much larger than its width. In a typical PIC product family the smallest device is designed to be long and narrow (i.e., large aspect ratio), with larger devices having an increased width dimension due to the added number of HVFET segments (i.e., smaller aspect ratio). That is, the aspect ratio of larger devices decreases as more segments are added. Aspect ratio is a critical parameter in the design of a monolithic PIC. A PIC fabricated on a semiconductor die having a very large or very small aspect ratio often suffers from mechanical stress caused by the molding compound used to bond the die to the package. This stress can adversely change the electrical properties of the PIC circuitry. A semiconductor die having a length that is substantially equal to its width (i.e., aspect ratio=1) minimizes stress and permits more efficient wire routing of the control circuit. The difficulty, however, is that HVFET 12 is required to have elongated segments in order to achieve a specific current handling capability. The package also has maximum cavity size. Thus, while it is desirable to manufacture a PIC on a semiconductor die having a substantially square shape, the need to provide a product family with a range of current handling capabilities which fits within a package cavity size has constrained the dimensions of control circuit 11 and semiconductor die 10. The solution of the prior art has been to provide a control circuit that has a relatively narrow width and a much larger length that is substantially equal to the maximum package cavity size. For example, in Thus, there is an unsatisfied need for an improved monolithic PIC design that overcomes the problems of poor control circuit area efficiency and high PIC aspect ratio. The present invention will be understood more fully from the detailed description that follows and from the accompanying drawings, which however, should not be taken to limit the invention to the specific embodiments shown, but are for explanation and understanding only. An improved monolithic power integrated circuit is described. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth, such as device types, dimensions, circuit configurations, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, persons having ordinary skill in the semiconductor arts will appreciate that these specific details may not be needed to practice the present invention. As can be seen, output HVFET 23, with the short segments, is located on die 20 adjacent the short, lateral side of control circuit 21. Control circuit 21 and HVFET 23 both have substantially the same width (W1). In this embodiment, HVFET 23 has a length (L1) that is less than the length (L2) of control circuit 11. The total length (L) of semiconductor die 20 is approximately equal to the sum of the lengths of HVFET 23 and control circuit 21 (L�L1+L2). In the embodiment of The total width (W) of semiconductor die 20 is approximately equal to the sum of the widths of control circuit 21 and HVFET 24 (W�W1+W2). To manufacture a PIC device with increased current handling capability, more long segments are added in parallel to HVFET 24, which has the effect of increasing the W2 dimension and lowering the aspect ratio of semiconductor die 20. Practitioners in the integrated circuit and semiconductor fabrication arts will appreciate that the embodiment shown in With continuing reference to It should be understood that even though the embodiment of For example, a PIC with four output HVFETs may be implemented in which two additional HVFETs are located side-by-side on die 20 above or below HVFET 24. The two additional output HVFETs may have a combined segment length that is approximately equal to the sum of the lengths of HVFET 23 and control circuit 21 (L�L1+L2). In such as case, the segment lengths of the two additional HVFETS may have an intermediate length that is longer than that of the short segments of HVFET 23, yet shorter than the length of the long segments of HVFET 24. These additional HVFETs with intermediate length segments may be selectively coupled to control circuit 21 to implement a PIC device providing an intermediate range of output current capacity. Persons of ordinary skill in the integrated circuit and semiconductor arts will appreciate that selective coupling between control circuit 21 and one or both of the output HVFETs 23 & 24 may be achieved utilizing a variety of conventional techniques and circuits. For example, an optional metal connection may be implemented during the layout and fabrication of the PIC. Alternatively, an ordinary on-chip switching circuit may be utilized for selectively coupling one or more of the output HVFETs to control circuit 21. This switching circuit may be incorporated into the layout of control circuit 21 and may comprise one or more transistor switching devices (e.g., transmission gates). Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the arts will appreciate that numerous modifications and alterations are well within the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. Patent Citations

One of the most beloved movies of all time is celebrating its 75th anniversary today. A classic among classics, The Wizard of Oz has touched hearts, piqued imaginations, and brought families together for endless hours of entertainment throughout the years. It is definitely a film that I have enjoyed watching as a child and now enjoy watching with my own children, too.
When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And of course, almost 75 years later it's still a heart-warming tale enjoyed by all ages and generations.
Check out The Wizard Of Oz's 75th Anniversary and Ultimate Collectors Edition (which just isn't a restoration of the film, but a whole new viewing experience TRUST me on that), and take our pop quiz to test your knowledge of the film and let us know how you fared!
