Pool and hot tub. Rooms are nice for the price. Location was a bit far from phenix. But in a nice neighborhood. Great park across the street.
Front desk. The lady at the front desk made the whole place very stressful. Not only for me and the other customers but for the whole staff. You could feel the tension.

Management talks very down to you, they expect too much too fast, upper management has a hard time keeping people employed because no one wants to be treated like that

Pre-order bonuses revealed for Resident Evil 6 on Steam
Reaction to Resident Evil 6 was ... let's say mixed, if I'm to be polite. Despite this, Capcom is continuing its commitment to bringing games to the PC by making Resident Evil 6 available for pre-purchase on Steam. If you're committed to buying the game, there's some pre-purchase rewards available for you.
It's another case of the more people pre-order, the more rewards are unlocked. Right now, the first reward tier is already reached, so everyone who pre-purchases will get a soundtrack and an artbook. The second tier will be a giftable copy of Resident Evil 5, and the final reward will be the DLC season pass included with your purchase.
Whilst a delayed PC release of a game that's already been available on consoles for months is usually a big annoyance, I feel that in the case of Resident Evil 6, it's maybe been for the best. The reviews are all out and you all have a good idea of what the game is like. Plus, now you have the benefit of knowing that Resident Evil: Revelations is coming soon on PC too.

The third annual Winter Chill Out offseason event took place yesterday out in Sandusky, and we made our way over to Ohio to take it in. We always like an "offseason" visit to the park – just seeing it sometimes helps with the brutal winter blues here in the Midwest. Originally organized primarily by Pointbuzz and ultimately taken over by Cedar Point, the third edition of the event saw some significant changes to the pacing and way things went on. Some of this was ok. Some of this wasn't that great. But this is a charity event and there's a bunch of freebies given out, so it is a bit difficult to seriously complain. Continue reading
TR: Greater Phoenix…and 45 minutes in Minneapolis (1/1 – 1/5/2014)
There is no great secret by now that my father and stepmother live in the deserts surrounding Phoenix, Arizona. This migration has led to me venture to Phoenix a multitude of times now, with this being my fifth visit to the Valley of the Sun. By this point, one might be justified in assuming that we've exhausted everything of interest. This is so very far from the truth. In fact, this was the kind of trip that reminds you that there is always something new, always something to learn at some level. That is very much the hallmark of a good trip. Continue reading
The (self-absorbed) 2014: Year In Review Post
I don't generally do year in review stuff because it turns into bragging about doing things. I don't do this about bragging. I'm not saying I'm not proud to have as much fun as I do, but this isn't about me telling you that I'm better than you or anything like that. I do this for me, but I'll share with you any and all knowledge I gain because maybe one day dear reader, you can make use of it. That's all.
So here's some stats before the links:
-This year we set foot in 19 US states and two territories.
-Including the usual time in the province of Ontario, we visited 5 foreign countries. 3 of those were countries we'd never been to before.
-We didn't do that much flying – just 9 airports total and 3 airlines.
-We visited 28 theme and amusement parks. There's a huge list of standalone amusements, mini golf, and so on to go with that.
-We visited 6 US National Park sites, 3 UNESCO Heritage Sites, and 4 national parks within other nations.
-We made stops in 8 zoos and 5 aquariums.
-I spent 59 nights in 38 different hotels this year, and my wife was along for all but two of those evenings. 32 of those hotels were new to me. 3 of hotels we stayed in have a Wikipedia page. This doesn't include the 7 nights on the Jewel of the Seas we spent either. Throw in our time at the cottage, and we slept somewhere other than home for about 2 1/2 months of this year.
Rather than post links to every trip report I wrote this year (there were 49 of them!), here's my favorite items from this year, in no particular order.
-While all-inclusive resorts aren't our thing, there were a lot of activities in Quintana Roo, Mexico that we did enjoy. I did a special part of the trip report dedicated to those – Akumal, Coba, and Tulum.
-Houston! It is a huge and growing metropolis that I previously disliked vehemently because it was a huge spread out city demanding driving and time in traffic. Years later, I'm older and wiser and know that not every city is New York or Boston nor should they necessarily try to be that, and you know what? Taking Houston and the surrounding area on its own merits makes it into a really cool place to visit.
-San Antonio's theme parks (Sea World and Six Flags) are plenty OK in their own right, but the truth is what really made our trip there was the stuff we did involved less queuing. Downtown and the Mission trail were definitely the highlight for me.
-West Baden Springs Hotel and Resort in French Lick, Indiana is utterly spectacular in every way.
-Seeing my mom this May out in Western New York was great. It's always awesome to see her. But getting her on a hot air balloon and making one of her dream life experiences come true, AND to do it somewhere as spectacular as Letchworth State Park AND during a hot air balloon festival? I kinda outdid myself there.
-Huge summer road trip! I won't post links to everything we did, because there was a lot, but the high points included seeing my buddy Will and his wife Marina at City Museum in St. Louis on short notice, the awesomeness that is Silver Dollar City, and seeing both government in (fine) action at Bay Beach Amusement Park the same day as House on the Rock.
-I went to Ocean City, Maryland this year? I went to Ocean City, Maryland this year!
-Staying in a yurt at The Wilds somewhere out by Zanesville, OH.
-Riding Leap-The-Dips again and visiting Knoebels on a Pennsylvania trip.
-Tourism via boxing in Cincinnati for Adrien Broner/Emanuel Taylor and Mississauga, Ontario to watch Denton Daley/Youri Kalenga.
-Universal Studios Orlando opened Diagon Alley. I went there too?
-We went on a cruise and I ended up in Antigua the day after a hurricane struck it. Then I almost lost my sunglasses snorkeling in the shadows of the Pitons in St. Lucia, and went in a cave and ate spaghetti pie in Barbados.
-Because all the rest wasn't enough, we drove to Tennessee to visit the Smokies, Dollywood, and all the ridiculous redneck Vegas stuff we could handle. And zoos in Knoxville and Cincinnati!
Want to know how crazy this year was? Here's a video of my wife and I riding the Mongoose Monster Truck 15 minutes or so from us in Lansing, by the airport. We did this two months ago and I never got around to writing anything about it because, well, there were other things to do.
2014, people. It was a thing.
TR: Smoky Mountain Pseudo-Christmas Pt. 3: Drive Home (11/29-30/14)
Usually for weekend trips, Saturday is our biggest day of activity. This being a weird holiday weekend trip, Saturday was basically set as a travel day to get us out of Pigeon Forge and near to Cincinnati for the final stretch of driving. As a travel day, it did still offer us a number of different things to do for entertainment and exploration. I had a short list of things I wanted to do and remembered a few items from the trip down which I felt might be worth brief exploration. Continue reading
TR: Smoky Mountain Pseudo-Christmas Pt. 2: Black Friday at Dollywood (11/28/14)
The engine that drives the development of the whole Pigeon Forge tourism machine exists just a short drive away from Gatlinburg. Not Dollywood, though that was the focus of this particular day, but rather the Smoky Mountain National Park, America's most visited such park. We were a bit strapped for time this Friday morning, having bandied about several other ideas before finally settling on a scenic drive as we pulled away from the hotel. Sure, there's other tourist junk we could have done, but isn't this why everyone comes? Isn't this why most are here? Entry is free, which only encourages floods of people. On this particular morning, we drove about 2/3s of the way to Cades Cove, then turned around so that we could arrive at Dollywood in a reasonable amount of time. The drive itself reminded me of heading north on Route 8 out of Connecticut and into Western Massachusetts – hilly, but not terribly so, running alongside a river, with many options for short hikes and walks within a short distance of an otherwise busy road. Continue reading
TR: Smoky Mountain Pseudo-Christmas Pt. 1: Pigeon Forge/Gaitlinburg (11/26-11/27/14)
Somewhere around August, it was made aware to my wife and I that our plan of staying home and having Thanksgiving with my mother-in-law was simply not going to happen. She had different plans – plans in New Zealand. That left us in a strange position of not having any plans for a huge chunk of time off. So began a period of several days where we scouted airfares and hotel prices in a desperate attempt to find something that would work. Nothing really did. How could I ever justify paying $450 or more to fly to Orlando? This left us stumped and searching for ideas. Finally, one came to me – we had season passes for Silver Dollar City acquired back in June. Silver Dollar City season passes give a 50% discount on Dollywood tickets. Dollywood, while roughly 11 hours away, is not somewhere we'd fly to, but actually somewhat feasible by automobile. Why not? Continue reading
TR: Exposition on Ontario Exploration – Blue Mountains, Niagara, Toronto Suburbs (11/15-11/16/14)
Trips happen for a reason. Sometimes there's a specific ride. Sometimes there's a large idea framing the trip planning process. This was a solo trip to Canada birthed around an event- a "world title" boxing bout in Mississauga, Ontario with low-priced tickets that interested me. So why not go? And since I'm crossing the border, I suppose I should do some other stuff. How about a coaster? How about some random amusements and a world-famous natural landmark? I guess I'd have to drive a lot, but I'm grown. I can do it. Continue reading

The Space
Welcome to wonderful Amsterdam! A home away from home awaits you.
Our three level, traditional Dutch canal house is situated in the Jordaan on a lovely and quiet canal, close to the main attractions, but also immersed in local Amsterdam life.
The apartment is spacious and bright (95sqm), with dual aspect and sun all day from either the back or the front. All of the floors have nice views of the canal and neighbourhood.
The second floor (entry) features a luxury kitchen with a top range oven and stove, dishwasher, refrigerator and all the cookware you might need, as well as washer and dryer. An open dining area connects, with a lovely view on the canal. In addition, there is a full bathroom/wet room.
The third floor has two open living spaces, with a king sofa bed and a full bathroom with bath. There is flat screen TV, countless DVDs, a stereo and lots of books available for your entertainment (plus a desk if you really need to get work done!).
The top floor is a spacious, private bedroom with a king size bed on hand made raised platform. Off this, there is a large balcony with tables and chairs, overlooking the rooftops of Amsterdam. Step out to enjoy a glass of wine, meal or just a little relaxation and fresh air.
The house is in a desirable location, only a quick stroll (or quicker bike ride!) to top attractions, such as the Anne Frank house and the '9 streets' for shopping. Or, for a feel of local life, food and treats, the lively Saturday market at Noordermarkt is only 2 minutes walk. In addition, the house is very near some of Amsterdam's best restaurants, bars and nightlife, beautiful parks and outdoor spaces.
We are happy to help with restaurant and travel recommendations for the area and have several books on Amsterdam and Europe available for your use.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
We live in a quiet, residential area and our neighbors will appreciate noise control. No parties, smoking or drugs permitted within the home. We also hope that guests report any issues with their stay, including broken items or items that need repair.
Misti is very responsive and easy to deal with. The apartment is lovely and in a great neighborhood -- the kitchen is beautiful, the furniture is comfortable, and you are just steps away from fun restaurants and bars.
We had a fantastic time staying at this canal house. The house is absolutely beautiful, so well decorated, modern and clean. We were a group of 5 girls and were very comfortable here, it was equipped with everything you would need and is near to supermarkets. You also get a good workout from the quite steep but charming stairs - which was useful for burning off all the waffles we ate. Misti was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early and check out half an hour late due to illness. Overall a great place to stay and would recommend to anyone.
My family (me+my husband, 3 kids) stayed at Misti's place on February 2015. We absolutely loved it. It was clean and practical. And the nabourhood was lovely. We'd like to go again. Specially thanks for bottel of wine that welcomed us when we arrived. Only little thing that we did not find was remote control for dvd player :)
Just back from an awesome weekend in Amsterdam. This place was fun, quirky, modern, clean and warm. Couldn't of asked for anything more. Absolutely loved it here. Could of moved in! Would definitely recommend and hope to come back sometime soon! Really accommodating (especially as we were late arriving -my fault!!) love love loved it. Stay here and you won't be disappointed. ❤❤❤
We have just returned from spending 3 nights in Misti's Amsterdam home. We loved our time in Amsterdam. The apartment was in a great location to explore the city. It was finished beautifully, and my daughters enjoyed being able to come home at the end of the day and have a great choice of videos to watch.
My husband and I loved having the Saturday market just around the corner for fresh fruit, veg, flowers, cheese, bread etc etc... And an antique/ bric a brac market within a 5 minute walk on Saturday and Monday. We found lots of really nice cafés at the end of the market street, and there were really nice places to eat at night also within a 5-10 minute stroll. We walked everywhere... Anne Frank house, Rijk museum, ice skating in museum square, central station, 9 streets shopping. Matthije was very nice, and very accommodating with allowing us a late checkout for our late flight back to Australia. We loved our time at Misti's and made great family memories. I would definitely recommend this apartment for your Amsterdam holiday.
Beautiful, well-equipped apartment. Exactly as pictured. Great location, with excellent restaurants and bars nearby. Stairs are a bit steep, but typical of Amsterdam. :) Loved our stay.
Hi, I'm Misti. I am an advertising professional originally from Oregon. My love for travel has brought me to many places, including Amsterdam. I am crazy for action and adventure, which means you will frequently find me running, cycling and exploring the world. I also enjoy meeting new people, getting to know a city and spending time with friends and family.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Best groundcover?
I've finally got DH to agree to rip out the weedy high maintenance mulch in front of the house and let a groundcover grow. The requirements are that it be edible (my requirement), shade out all weeds (his requirement), perennial, low maintenance, low growing, not attract pests, and be attractive enough to get by with the neighbors. There's room for a substantial sized plot in full sun - approximately 8' by 6' or so, I'd guess. We're in SW Michigan. So far I'm considering campanula, thyme, parsley, and ajuga, but nothing really has stood out. I'd love to hear the experienced opinions of all of you!
Strawberries? Alpine strawberries? Mixed perennial herbs? - sage, thyme, prostrate rosemary, hyssop, chives, oregano, sorrel...
Parsley isn't perennial so you'd have to resow every year.

An intense, ample and complex bouquet goes from kirsch liqueur to fresh plums followed by tobacco, earthy minerality and roasted meat. As the wine opens up, it releases aromas of red currants and raspberries, with touches of toasty coffee, leather and a hint of game. Balanced and persistent. At fi rst impact, the wine is intense and decisive and gradually softens with dense, young, lively tannins. Structured, powerful and rich with good freshness. Well-balanced and elegant, fl avors mimic the nose with hints of tobacco and fruits, including black currants and fruit preserves. Mineral, earthy notes become more balsamic. Good persistence fi nishes in notes of cola and licorice.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Well stitched together with a broad, wide assembly of dark fruit, spice and cola-like aromas. All the wine's elements sing loud as a single chorus; bold, plush, chewy. Ends with ripe fruit, rum cake, pipe tobacco and dark espresso bean. Firm, great length. Editors' Choice. "

About Tuscany(TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy

Conifer for narrow area next to pool
pmsmith2032(5b Suburbs of Chicago)March 15, 2012
We are looking for conifer suggestions for privacy screening between our 4' above ground pool and lot line. The area is 10' wide at the narrowest and receives full sun. We've looked at the Skyrocket junipers but don't care for the bluish-green color. We'd prefer not to use arborvitaes too. Eventually, we need something that will grow to 12-15' range. All suggestions are appreciated!

Maybe that means we can rip off their ideas for a change. But let's not forget that the modern European dominance of the world was built on three Chinese inventions: gunpowder, the compass and printing.
The British certainly had plenty of reason to be infuriated by our theft of their intellectual property throughout our industrial revolution. We got our start when Samuel Slater, an expert in the Arkwright system, circumvented the laws against export of plans for textile machinery by memorizing as much as he could before departing for New York in 1789. Just as important, he brought the knowledge of effective use and organization, that made mere machines into an industry.

Healthy Dogs
Choosing a Healthy Puppy
In this article
The best time to acquire a puppy is at 8 to 12 weeks of age. At this age a puppy should be well socialized, will have received the first series of immunizations, and should be weaned and eating solid food. The breeder can usually make a good guess about whether a puppy is of show or breeding quality. But keep in mind that picking a future champion at 8 weeks of age is a problem, even for breeders with considerable experience.
Most puppies look healthy at first glance, but a closer inspection may make some puppies more desirable than others. Take your time and go over each puppy from head to tail before making the final decision.
Recommended Related to Dogs
Socialization means learning to be part of society. When we talk about socializing pet puppies, it means helping them learn to be comfortable as a pet within human society-a society that includes many different types of people, environments, buildings, sights, noises, smells, animals and other dogs. Most young animals, including dogs, are naturally made to be able to get used to the everyday things they encounter in their environment-until they reach a certain age. When they reach that age,...
Read the Socializing a New Puppy article > >
Begin by examining the head. The nose should be cool and moist. Nasal discharge or frequent sneezing is a sign of poor health. Brachycephalic breeds, such as Pugs and Pekingese, often have nostrils that collapse when the dog breathes in. This is undesirable.
Check the puppy for a correct bite. The correct bite for most breeds is a scissors bite, in which the upper incisors just slightly overlap the lower ones. An even bite, in which the incisors meet edge to edge, is equally acceptable in most breeds.
The gums should be pink and healthy looking. Pale gums suggest anemia, possibly caused by intestinal parasites.
Feel for a soft spot on the dome of the skull. If present, the fontanel is open. This is not desirable. In toy breeds, an open fontanel can be associated with hydrocephalus.
The eyes should be clear and bright. If you see tear stains on the muzzle, look for eyelids that roll in or out, extra eyelashes, or conjunctivitis. The pupils should be dark and have no visible lines or white spots that may indicate congenital cataracts or retained fetal membranes. The haw (third eyelid) may be visible. This should not be taken as a sign of disease unless it is swollen and inflamed.
The ears should stand correctly for the breed, although in some breeds, such as German Shepherd Dogs, the ears may not stand up fully until 4 to 6 months of age. The tips should be healthy and well furred. Crusty tips with bare spots suggest a skin disease such as sarcoptic mange. The ear canals should be clean and sweet-smelling. A buildup of wax with a rancid odor may be caused by ear mites. Head shaking and tenderness about the ears indicate an ear canal infection.

How Knight Arts helps build community by binding people to place
Knight Foundation believes the arts help build community by binding people to place and to each other. Done with excellence, the arts inspire and connect people.
Our grantmaking strategy in the arts has four initiatives:
- Creative Placemaking
- Making Art General
- Institutional Reform
- Spurring Innovation
The strategy is carried across Knight's eight resident communities but is implemented in varying landscapes. Here's a snapshot of the arts sector in each:
- Akron: Akron has a history of developing established arts institutions however, the organizations have struggled financially. The City of Akron has played a significant role in supporting culture, specifically in developing summer programming as well as increasing programs in neighborhoods such as downtown. Recently, the city has faced financial challenges which put many of its arts programs at risk of budgetary cuts. Despite the financial challenges, Akron hosts a significant dance program at the University of Akron as well as dance programming through the city. Akron is also home to an excellent modern art collection, at the Akron Art Museum.
- Charlotte: Charlotte's arts community is booming. The geographical grouping of the Knight Theater, the Bechtler Museum, the Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture, and the Mint Museum has proven to be a focal point for downtown (or, as it's known in Charlotte, "uptown"). Additionally, the Arts & Sciences Council of Charlotte-Mecklenburg supports a wide network of smaller arts organizations engaged in community-based art. The city is currently adapting to changing demographics and is a leader in redefining "The New South."
- Detroit: Detroit's arts institutions are beginning to show signs of bloom after a long decline. Despite the economic challenges, or perhaps because of opportunities derived from those challenges, individual artists and small arts groups have thrived. Detroit is also home to several longstanding arts institutions that have remained resilient and innovative through the many changes faced in the last half a century. These artists and arts institutions are building a strong network, seeking to reestablish Detroit through sustainable communities rooted in creative solutions.

Ben Heck shows us how you can be a one man video recording machine. Don't you hate it when you need to reposition the camera for multiple shots. Using a PIXY he was able to make a system that will look for a certain color and then reposition the camera for the perfect shot. Ben makes good use out of his 3D printer to make many of the parts for the system. I have never heard of the acetone method that Ben uses to make the 3D parts stronger, it allows the printed layers to bond beter.
If you make your own PCBs this TwinTeeth machine might be just the thing you need for your bench.
Thanks for the tip Charlie & Victor
"It includes the following functions:
Product testing is very important, you can run a battery of electrical testing on your PCB but a visual inspection is also very important to spot failures that are waiting to happen in the future. Our friend Bob Davis has been busy repairing all sorts of random electronic items. The Bad solder joints seen above are from a Crown XTi 1000 power amplifier which is an amp that retails at over $1,000. You would think there would have been enough profit in there to allow for a quick visual inspection.
Dragao has a Sonic Cartridge that had some invalid instructions that would cause the game to crash at a certain point. The solution wasn't to find a replacement game at the local flea market, he Resurrected the Sega Cartridges using some old Computer Chips. The game was originally loaded on 16 bit memory chips, not having any of these handy from the donor computer motherboards he piggy backed 2 8 bit memory chips to make it work. An Arduino was then used to blast the code onto the new chips.
Bob Johnson completed his DIY Water Level Sensor project. It can sense 4 levels of water, the results are transmitted using some Xbee devices.
"The distance from my barn to the house is over 700ft. I used a 2.4Ghz yagi to send the signal to the house. This works great and no outside antenna is required at the receiving end. I have tried this setup at much smaller distances, and no yagi or directional antenna was required.
This setup has worked well for me. I use it to monitor my horses water trough. By eliminating the need for a micro-controller on the transmitting end and placing the Xbee in sleep mode, I have been able to run this setup for 10 months now on the same 3 AA batteries with the Xbee set in high power mode. "
When your RC plane flies out of transmitter range some of them are setup to start a slow bank so that it hopefully flies closer to you and you can reacquire communication. What if that fails and the plane comes crashing back to earth? This Lost Signal RC Alarm & Lost Plane Finder project will help you in this case. When your transmitter is not connected the buzzer will sound so you can find it a bit easier. Construction is a nice and compact point to point solder construction which means no PCB is needed.
If you want your valentine to work for their candy hearts why not build them a slot machine to let them win them. I have seen little bits before but this is the most complex device I have seen built!
"Try your luck with the littleBits Slot Machine and win a handful of candy hearts for your special someone. This slot machine operates just like the real thing. Pull the lever to start the graphics spinning on three DC motors. As they stop spinning in succession, win big when three hearts line up. When the hearts align, so do three bright LEDs and three corresponding light triggers. This signals the servo-activated trapdoor to release a candy jackpot."

Presently, Orochimaru leads the first match 5-3 and the second match is tied 4-4.
Match 1: Orochimaru
Match 2: Light
Voting time is up. Looks like Orochimaru and Light will face off in the next round. Time for the next set of matches:
Match #1
Being the Greek lord of the underworld, this man was an old enemy of Athena's who desires to wipe out humanity and turn the Earth into a wasteland. One of the strongest characters in his title, this man could fend off against several Saints at once suffering little damage and is capable of sending any of his specters to the living world while he remains in the underworld. Every 243 years, he is allowed to enter the living world by using the living body of the purest human alive as a host and facing off against Athena to compete for the planet's fate. This is Saint Seiya's Hades.
And his opponent...
This powerful witch desires to create a world of complete stasis where nothing changes or evolves. A manipulative woman with a love for the suffering of others, she is responsible for torturing and manipulating her son Crona into becoming a fearsome killer and creating Black Blood, an artificial blood cell that grants its user heightened powers at the cost of their soul succumbing to madness. Her hatred of change is such that she resurrected the powerful Kishin known as Asura in order to advance her plans. This is Soul Eater's Medusa Gorgon.
Match #2
This violent and manipulative man is a powerful threat due to both his abilities as a vampire and his Stand, The World's, ability to freeze time, allowing him to move about freely to evade a foe's attacks or to attack his helpless foe. He is at odds with his adoptive brother, Jonathan Joestar, over their family's fortune and makes attempts at killing Jonathan to claim it. His selfish desires to claim the fortune are such that he manipulates others into fighting Jonathan and gave up his humanity using the power of an artifact called the Stone Mask to gain his powers as a vampire. This is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's Dio Brando.
And his opponent...
This monstrous-looking man is the leader of his own personal group of pirates known as the Blackbeard Pirates. A former member of the Whitebeard Pirates, this man betrayed the group by killing one of their commanders to gain possession of the Yami Yami no Mi, a Devil Fruit that grants the one who consumes it control over darkness. A very deceptive and power-hungry individual, this man manipulated the powerful pirate group called the Shichibukai into their ranks so he could gather more allies into his group and led the Whitebeard Pirate Ace to his death. This is One Piece's Blackbeard.
Voting will end on either Friday or Saturday. Have fun voting!
Can't vote for Saint Seiya since I don't really know him and his evil deeds.
Having seen both Jojo and One Piece, I'll go with Dio.
Spoiler Alert for Blackbeard
|Dio Brando
Thanks. The series is getting popular because of the new Stardust anime that came out this Spring Season '14. With it being legally streamed for the first time (via Crunchyroll), more folks are watching it. Tom can only review shows that are legally out, so the W & L articles are going fine. Shame that he and Sam didn't like Toriko. That's okay, Toriko has its hit or miss with folks. At least, we got a Toriko Roundtable to show there are folks who love the show and give a different opinion.
With the wiki editing and battle threads going on, I wouldn't be surprise if Jojo will be the next big thing in this community after Toriko.
Voting time is up. Looks like Medusa and Dio will advance and face off against one another in the next round. Time for the next set of matches:
Match #1
The CEO of Revocs Corporation and mother of apparent series antagonist Satsuki, this woman conspires to use the power of Life Fibers to take over the world and enslave humanity to them. Having infused her own body with the threads, she is capable of regenerating her body, has superhuman attributes and can use the Life Fibers in her body to take control of her foes. A vain and cruel woman who bathes herself in luxury, she is known to sexually molest her daughters and has no regard for human life in her commitment to have the planet dominated by Life Fibers. This is Kill la Kill's Ragyo Kiryuin.
And her opponent...
A former ally and possible lover of the powerful psychic Genkai, this man sacrificed his humanity in exchange for the power of a demon after he slayed the demon responsible for the slaughter of his students. A tall and muscular man, this man is capable of regulating how much of his demonic power is released and has monstrous strength as such that he can easily lift the large tournament ring used for the Dark Tournament at just a fraction of his full power. Serving as a hired thug for various criminal organizations for decades, this man manipulated events so he would force Yusuke Urameshi and several of his allies to compete in the Dark Tournament as he desires to test Yusuke's abilities in combat. This is Yuyu Hakusho's Younger Toguro.
Match #2
Serving as the first major enemy faced by Team Dai-Gurren, this man is the creator of the Beastmen forces that wrecked havoc on humanity and forced much of the human populace to live underground as a result. Having each of his Supreme Generals confront the group, this man eventually finds himself being forced to personally handle the threat of Simon and Dai-Gurren on his own. Having his own personal Gunman mecha known as Lazengann, this man also possesses superhuman-level attributes as such where he was capable of facing off against Simon's Lagann mech with just his bare hands. This is Gurren Lagann's Lordgenome.
And his opponent...
This crazed serial killer has a large fetish for women's hands, as such where he is known to sever the hands of his female victims and keep them as "girlfriends" until they begin to rot from decomposure. He acquires the Stand known as Killer Queen from his desire to dispose of any incriminating evidence, with Killer Queen allowing him to cleanly and completely obliterate objects with targeted explosions. He eventually finds himself at odds with Josuke Higashikata and several of his friends when the young man is able to deduce this killer's involvement with the murders he committed. This is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's Yoshikage Kira.
Voting will end on either Monday or Tuesday. Have fun voting!

There exists a pretty significant interface problem with the Apple Installer program such that any package requesting admin access via the AdminAuthorization key, when run in an admin user account, is given full root-level access without providing the user with a password prompt during the install.
That's what I just said. It asks me for my password and only then I get promoted to the admin user (by means of sudo I assume). The point of the article is that "without prompting the vast majority of Mac OS X users for a password of any kind". If someone then says "most OSX users run as admin by default" that makes it sound as if users are running a root account by default. Which is not simply true.
Exactly! But when do you get root priviledges? Only after you give your password to sudo (either on the cli or in the installer). Before that point you have as much privileges as a ordinary user.
The little thread started because cgenman said "OSX users run as admin by default" with which he seemed to imply that Mac OS X users run with root priviledges by default and therefor don't get prompted for a password. But this is not the case.
I don't even think we're making a different point. My definition of admin is just more confusing I guess. You're indeed right that the default user is a user from the admin group, but my point is that even though the user might be an admin, he doesn't have root priviledges without giving a password first.
All the simple programs have been written.
