Paradise! Rhonda Owens Greenville, South Carolina
Review Submitted August 25, 2011 Date of Stay August 13, 2011 This home is perfect for a large group. The views are breath taking from morning to dusk from the balcony. Everything we needed was within walking distance. We had a day or two of bad ocean waters but we were able to jump in the car and run over to St. Andrews State park, where the ocean was clear and calm, within 5 minutes. Ben Golden was very responsive to our needs and made sure our vacation was enjoyed to the utmost. Thanks much Ben and family for allowing us to rent this beautiful home and have quality family time! Looking forward to next year!

Our family loved this house and the location. The teenage grandchildren loved the house and the fact we were right on the beach. Our grown children loved the house, also. They all said it was perfect for us. The teenagers went parasailing, rode the banana boat, played putt-putt golf, visited an arcade, rode the go carts, and did a lot of shopping. We had wonderful seafood at Schooner's (our favorite), Scampi's, Captain Anderson's, and others. We would recommend this house to anyone with a large family or just a group of friends. It's great.

Will stay here very chance we get! Larry Katz Dothan, AL
Review Submitted October 19, 2010 Date of Stay October 9, 2010 I almost hate to say how great this house is because we plan to keep staying there and need it to be available! We just spent 4 days there and it wasn't enough time. The only thing that wasn't great for us was having to leave this place. We have two young girls and they loved the game room and the hot tub as much as playing in the sand and waves. Although there were lots of rooms to choose from, they both wanted to sleep in the "mermaid room" and stayed up way too late giggling. My wife and I cherished our quiet morning coffee on the deck before everyone else woke up. We walked down to Schooners for dinner and watching the sun set. Loved everything about this place and can't wait to go back! Rating: 5 out of 5 Respond to Review

Sony NEX-5n Availability
September 11, 2011
Sony's latest NEX-5n has been getting quite a bit of press lately. It never seems to have hit the shelves over at B&H yet, but it's been in and out of stock over at Amazon. Today both versions with and without lens is available in limited quantities (click here).
A nice camera indeed with full 1080/60fps and excellent low light capabilities, but I feel some people are saving up a few hundred extra dollars for the NEX7 or A77.

The Nex 7 will be more than a few extre hundred dollars more like 500-600$ and i hear that the nex 5n has better low light capabilities at high iso due to less megapixels (16) vs the nex 7 at 24mp. Full manual control in video mode for 600$ best buy in my mind unless you are looking to buy your first dslr in that case go with th A77.

Love my NEX5N. Check out some of the footage I shot with it yesterday:
September 12th, 2011 at 11:34 am
I have the 5n. I bought it when sony hooked me with the hx9…I love it. Sure its not a 7d, or even a gh2, but for what it is…I'm highly satisfied. I bought some cctv lenses from china, and so far, im pleased. Of three lenses, 2 showed terrible vignette, but one worked – 1.7 fujian 35mm. The low light is amazing when added to an already great low light camera. One lens that disappointed me was the 50-150mm cctv zoom (fuji). This lens is fantastic, very sharp, and the aperture, zoom, and focus controls are incredibly smooth…if only i could find one that doesnt vignette. Anyway, this camera is great, and some tests show it is better for video than the a77 due to the transparent mirror causing a loss of 1 stop in the a77.

Comments Thread For: Ola Afolabi-Valery Brudov Clash For WBO's Interim Belt
Former WBA interim-cruiserweight champion Valery Brudov (39-3, 28 KOs) will soon get another opportunity to capture a meaningful belt. Don King-promoted Brudov, 35, a native of Pskov, is set to fight hard-hitting and elusive (at the same time) Nigerian Ola Afolabi (18-2-3, 8 KOs) for the interim WBO title at 200-pounds. The fight is booked take place at ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany, as a part of the Wladimir Klitschko vs. Jean-Marc Mormeck undercard. Previously mentioned contenders BJ Flores and Latif Kayode have reportedly rejected a bout with Afolabi for various reasons.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 339 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by javagold This hotel seemed old and outdated bathrooms were small. Ventilation was poor. Beds were great. Noise level was excellent. Rooms were big but had a lot of wasted space. closets were small. Storage (drawers) did not exist. Room smelled musty. Lighting was poor. August 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by None104 Always love staying here Excellent location for seeing Greenville. Only problem was the air conditioning; the room was too warm and we could not cool it. Had the same problem last year. July 31, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jakeman Not worth the cost of the hotel Other than location, the hotel offers very little for $199.00/night. As an SPG member I was disappointed. The hotle elevator system is one of the slowest I have ever experienced. July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mikeco Old school charm with modern ammenities Loved the bed comfort and the shower. The coffee in the room was great. We would have enjoyed a mini fridge in the room. We loved the farmers market in front of the hotel and the ability to walk everywhere. July 28, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by SWatEP Bed switch I booked this room for 2 special guests visiting me, and reserved a room with 2 double beds. We walked in the room to find a sitting area + 1 King bed. When I asked the front desk about it, they said, "we're full. there's a sofa bed in that room, so that counts as 2 doubles." I just couldn't believe it! If 2 doubles weren't available, I should have been told when making the reservation. I love the Westin, but this was a huge embarrassment for me and far below the standards I've come to expect from the hotel and its staff. July 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa08 Great hotel Excellent experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. July 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beachbunny Great stay (again) Came to Greenville for the Peace Theatre, this hotel is very convenient, great location, close to everything, nice old building, lovely rooms and EXCEPTIONAL staff in every department July 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by jechho Charming hotel Stayed here for one night on a road trip, The location in downtown Greenville cannot be beaten, and the hotel itself is charming and old-style. The staff was wonderful and the platinum treatment great. Even had a small welcome letter with some snacks from the front office manager. That's the way to treat spg elites, well done! The platinum continental breakfast was good and even included some hot items - also a big plus. I missed a few more healthy options, though. No whole grain/multi grain bread, toast or cereals was a drawback. The big minus for us on this hotel, was the noise. Yes, we are light sleepers, but be aware that the windows in the rooms are old and not doubleglassed. If you stay in a room facing the main street you could eailyl hear traffic. We changed room to a wonderful suite facing the back, but here the generator/main airconditioning outside made a very loud and constantly humming noise. Note - this may not bother others, or even most people, but just be sure to bring your earplugs if you sleep lightly like us. I may suggest that the windows are replaced sometime soon, though. Other minues? Well, the hotel is active on social media (twitter & facebook) but should prioritize adding an email address to their contact info on spg.com All in all, five out of five in all aspects, except when it came to the noise issue. July 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Reic Great Liked the place very much, hope to stay there again next year July 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry674 Staff Can't Say "No" My wife and I stayed at hotel while attending a court hearing in Greenville. From the time we checked in, the hotel staff bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable. From upgrading our room to providing a compact refrigerator. June 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by bluegrass This stay impressed us I rank my stays based on quality and services received for costs paid. We were there overnight 9 PM to 7 AM. The staff greeted us wamly and accomodated the fact that we had 3 in our group for the platinum recognition brakfast. The decor is quite appealing. The beds were the usual BEST. Surpassed our expectations. The parking is only $6 and is convenient and not too crowded which is important if you have a nice car that you don't want dinged. June 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brad1044 I would come back! Having stayed at many hotels for business, I was extremely impressed with my stay at the Poinsett Westin. The manager, I believe her name is Dru, made us feel right at home and made a very stressful business week much better with outstanding service. June 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brad1044 Best stay ever at a hotel while on a business trip. I recently stayed at the Westin Poinsett for a week while I was in Greenville for an arbitration hearing. The arbitration involved a very complicated matter, with 14 bankers boxes of documents. We had many unforeseen needs with respect to the documents (including shipping, delivery to the arbitration site and copying of documents), and the hotel staff met every single need, sometimes volunteering to help as my partner and I stood at the front desk discussing what we should do to address issues that had come up. They made a stressful week seem like it was not so stressful. The helpfulness of the staff was unmatched by any other hotel I've stayed at - for business or pleasure - they went far beyond "above and beyond" and they were among the most genuinely friendly people I've ever encountered. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone, and I liked it so much that I intend to return sometime on a vacation. June 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by AMH12 Wonderful place for wedding reception! We hosted our daughter's wedding reception at the Westin Poinsett. The wedding party also stayed at the hotel. The event was wonderful! The Westin staff was so helpful and accomodating. We could not have asked for better service. The food at the reception was great. The ballroom just gorgeous! We highly recommend the Westin Poinsett! June 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by apotheka A lot of character! Great hotel with good service. Since it's more of a historical location, the building has a lot of character. Additionally, the location is nice since it's in the middle downtown Greenville. Highly recommend. The only complaint would be the fact that the room keys kept malfunctioning; had to go between the front desk and my room on numerous occasions. June 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JRP04 Great Hotel We've stayed at the Westin Poinsett a number of times - one of our favorite Starwood hotels. Location is perfect, staff evokes the expected Southern charm. Unfortunately, during our last stay the rooms were not clean - bugs and cobwebs around the windows and corners of the ceiling. June 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by GSAE1 This hotel is a classic I had an overall great experience. I wish the hotel had provided a complementary bottle of water in my room but I was able to get one at the front desk. June 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Traveler1234 Nice hotel, staff was not very helpful Hotel met my expectations but the staff did not. Unable to accommodate any requests and there was no Gold recognition. I was not impressed by the food either. Rooms were very clean and had everything that was needed. May 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by nvmiller25 Wrong Reservation Date - OH NO So I travel quite a bit for work and I have never made a reservation for the wrong date. However, it happened during my stay at the Westin in Greenville, SC and happened the same time as the BMW Pro AM tourney. So when I checked in the receptionist told me it was the wrong date and she was very rude. Basically she just dismissed me as if I was a bother. Need less to say that was the worst experience I ever had at a Westin but it was very busy and I decided just to sit in the lobby and sulk and try and find a new hotel. BUT THEN the General Manager noticed I was upset and stopped and asked me how he could help. Let me remind you that celebraties and pro golfers are all around me at this point but he stopped for me. He proceeded to tell me ever y hotel is sold out due to the tournament but he would try and find a room for me. I also tried to find a room with no luck but due to his connections he found me a room at another hotel and saved the day for me. I was so appreciative of his help and it was nice to see someone go out of their way for a customer. I will always stay at this hotel anytime in Greenville, SC because you never know when you need someone on your side and I hope he has a great career at Westin. What a great employee! May 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyce48 We loved it! My daughter and I visited Greenville, for the first time ever, on a shopping trip for a dress for me to wear to her wedding next month. What a gem the Westin Poinsett was! Every staff member treated us like royalty, meeting our every need! The room was spacious, with a lovely 2 window view of downtown. It was raining heavily, so we chose to stay in for the evening. We dined in the lounge, and the food was fabulous! The bartender was on his own that evening, doing the job of waiter and busboy as well, but he did it wonderfully and with a smile. I asked for some creamers to bring to the room so I could make in-room coffee, and he gave me a fresh small pot of coffee instead to bring up, along with creamers! My daughter and I could have stayed in those heavenly beds for days. We had to leave after just one night, but we had the best time. And, I did find a dress on the trip, so it was a huge success! We'll be back soon! May 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DH456 Staff attentiveness exceptional Front desk staff was top shelf on alkl shifts. ONe of the finest I have seen. May 15, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by PrincessPea Good Stay - Not Great Current Gold Preferred Status & AMEX Platnium Status - Upon arrival, the valet were very pleasant and nice. The location was great in the heart of downtown/main street. Booked a KING room and was told upon arrival I would now be in a handicapped room, which is not what I booked. Asked about any upgrades due to both of my statuses, and was told nothing was available. Asked about a late check out and was told nothing was available. When the gentleman at the desk overhearing my annoyance with the woman checking me in, he was able to interject and have her offer me a 1pm check out. No mini-bar in handicapped room. Housekeeping knocked at my door at 8am and then again at 11am. I called the front desk to let them know about the late check out and they said it was noted to put up the door hanger, but I had room service in the am and needed the hanger off so they could deliver. Would I stay there again - yes. Does the property need improvement/updating - yes but for the price the value was fair. May 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 check in after 6pm not very helpful The hotel did up grade me FINALLY after 6pm when i still ewas waiting for a room...got there at 12:30pm said they would call when room was ready but never did...room booked was not what they were going to put me in uintil i pointed it out...they did up grade me to a nice suite BUT would have rather had my room on time so i coudl change and shower efore dinner... May 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by dckh01 Romantic overnight stay. Excellent service and a very romantic evening. Our favorite part was breakfast in bed the next morning followed closely by the champaign and strawberries the night before. Lovely stay and can't wait to do it again. May 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by wigstheome La Grande Dame An older hotel, with all the implied quirks, but still quite lovely, and a very good hotel in a spectacular locale (if you haven't been to Greenville, go ASAP!). Excellent service from the valet to the front desk to housekeeping. Upgraded pre-arrival, quick and helpful check-in, and very reasonable valet parking for all of $15. Manager sent a welcome basket, a nice gesture. Large junior suite (1006), albeit with limited windows, if that matters to you, but very comfortable. Reasonable fitness facility. Prime location if you have an interest in downtown Greenville (and you should). If you have the opportunity, American Grocery is very good. April 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ChristinaMc Great hotel location The Westin Poinsett is a wonderful historic hotel located in a unique downtown with lots of cute shops and delicious restaurants. The location made it a very enjoyable stay. April 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by VonCueBall Could be great if You had a Westin Club and a better breakfast with healthy grain breads not that commercial bakery drivel everyone else serves. Old historic building is nice. Would book again if club was there as need a place to relax and room was too small to unwind. April 1, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sadie A little disappointing for a Westin This hotel did not offer any of the "normal" SPG amenities for platinum status (room upgrades, club, etc). The rooms are clean but the furnishings could be updated. The staff is very friendly but seemed to be a little inexperienced in handling questions from customers. I would recommend the hotel however will definitely level set on expectations for SPG members. February 21, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mbra 30th Anniversary Stay First, I have been in the hospitality business many years and I came there for my 30th Wedding Anniversary; Your description of heavenly bath and bed is significantly overstated. I travel a lot and the bed and pillows were a shockingly disappointing. The pillows were literally flat, all of them, and anything but comfortable or heavenly as was the mattress The bath was fairly nice but near what your advertised"description" leads one to believe, it was a little larger version of most mid range hotels with 2 over sized shower heads and that was about it. . I would also say the size of the Executive Suite I rented was a bit shocking as I have experienced significantly larger regular suites in many other motels. And I guess to top it off, you wanted to charge me to use your business center and I have not seen that in any hotel or motel during my extensive travels. That was especially a slap in the face based on your rates. Overall, my 30th was not very special thanks to Westin but at least you have my money and that is what counts i suppose. December 30, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sam10 Perfect Hotel In my opinion the Westin brand is among the best hotel brands, and the Westin Poinsett is an exceptional hotel in perfect location with an excellent professional staff and management, and superior customer service. It is the perfect spot in Greenville December 14, 2011

The Asa Packer Mansion, in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, United States, was the home of Asa Packer (1805–1879), coal and railroad magnate and founder of Lehigh University. It is one of the best preserved Italianate Villa homes in the United States.[3]
Packer commissioned it to be built in what was then the Borough of Mauch Chunk. It was completed in 1861.[4] The architect was Samuel Sloan of Philadelphia who also designed the Southern Mansion Hotel in Cape May, New Jersey, and Longwood in Natchez, Mississippi.
Upon the death of Mary Packer Cummings, Mr. Packer's daughter, the home was willed to the Borough of Mauch Chunk to remain as a memorial to her father and his many accomplishments. The borough, not certain what to do with the home, closed it, and for 44 years the home sat idle. The Jim Thorpe Lions Club, looking to sponsor a new community project, approached the borough about opening the home.
The home is owned by the town of Jim Thorpe and financially controlled by the Jim Thorpe Lions Club. Ava M. Bretzik is the Director and Historian of the Mansion Museum and oversees the day-to-day operations.Ronald J Sheehan serves as Executive Director of the Mansion Museum as is in charge of overall administration of the National Historic Landmark property.
The house contains the original furnishings. It became a museum, the Asa Packer Mansion Museum, and was opened for tours on Memorial Day of 1956.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974,[2] and was further declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985.[3][4] It is located in the Old Mauch Chunk Historic District.
It is located on Packer Avenue in Jim Thorpe. The home of Packer's son, Harry Packer Mansion, designed by Sloan's protegee Addison Hutton, is on the same road, and is also listed on the National Register.

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Despite the way the economy has struggled and the way crops are looking, the 2012 Whitley County 4-H Livestock Auction still managed to raise $373,749 for 4-Hers.
The 2012 Whitley County 4-H Livestock Auction was held in the show barn again this year on Thursday.
Ritter Cox, auctioneer, welcomed more than 400 buyers during a rainy day.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆöTwo bikes carrying medics could be seen tracking through the 4-H Whitley County Fair this year, as Parkview Whitley Hospital took extra steps to stay on top of medical emergencies.
The two bikes, owned by the hospital, were part of a Bike Medic program.
According to Andy Grote with Parkview, who came up with the idea last winter and saw it approved in March, this is the first year for the program.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a quicker aid for people in need,ŌĆØ said Grote. ŌĆ£The bikes are fully stocked, and we carry just as much stuff on an ambulance.ŌĆØ

Gamer's Gift Bag: Wii and DS
It's the holiday season once again, and GameSpot is back with the Gamer's Gift Bag for the Wii and DS!
by Takeshi Hiraoka on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Being "old" is only half the problem in this list. They recommend Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles even though they, themselves, rated it a 6? That's borderline "fair", any point lower and it would be "mediocre". I'm not saying the game deserves that score, but it's weird that they SUGGEST a game that they claim not to be that good in the first place. Sounds almost like like they picked names at random.
uhh... happy holidays? WTF!!! those games were not this year!!! where is metroid and kirby! gamespot must hate nintendo... >:(
Looks like they didn't just repost last years video, they just renamed it. Not only is this the same video, they've even got the old comments on it too.
This is funny because this is gotta be the same video from last holiday season. I think someone screwed up???
Why don't you show us some games that were released THIS year?
wtf gamespot?? this site is worst by the day... New Golden Sun New Metroid New Kirby New Donkey Kong Epic Mikey Mario Galaxy 2 Just to name a few... And you present us the games/video from last year??? Just like what happened with Tactics Ogre new trailer, which wasn't new at all since you just used the first trailer and changed its title... -> www.gamespot.com/video/6283664/ Shame on you gamespot, get yourself together, gamer are losing respect for you (if they ever had any)!
They hate nintendo so bad here. They like screw the games from this year. Buy last years games. Seriously gamestop fix this. And when you do I will spell your name right.
If i'm gonna get either of the Scribblenauts games i'm gonna get Super Scribblenauts
>.> seems like there are better games they could have used... but then the entire list would be first party :P to bad 3ds is coming out next year...
Did they screw up and use last year's gift bag? Where is Epic Mickey, Fling Smash, Donkey Kong Country Returns, or Kirby's Epic Yarn? Either they messed up or didn't even try. Edit: Looking through the comments I now see that they did use last year's. Awesome. Thanks for the info GS.
Aren't some of those games a bit old? My wishlist will include Donkey Kong country Returns.
Man I forgot that the wii doesn't have that many games, once you go to a playstation it's hard to go back. But atlest No More Hero's will be out soon.
I just want New Super Mario Bros. Wii hasn't put out many good games since smash bros brawl. I wish they still made new gamecube games.
My list is; RE: The Darkside Chronicles Metroid Prime Trilogy MW Reflex if only No More Heroes 2 releases sooner :-(

About us
Our History
The creation of the ART for Cancer Foundation, a non profit, charitable organization, represents the next step on a journey our founder, Cid Palacio has been on since 2008. Cid lost both her parents to cancer.
She discovered that self-expression through painting provided a means of relaxation and an escape particularly during the stressful months where she was caring for her loved ones at home, while they were battling cancer.
As she continued to paint, she began selling her paintings to family and friends, and donating her sales to cancer charity.
Our Mission
The ART for Cancer Foundation is committed to improving the quality of life
of people living with cancer by providing an outlet for creative expression
through the arts.

Shatter The Bones (Paperback)
|Author: Stuart Macbride
Learn more about Shatter The Bones:
From the Publisher:
From the author of Cold Granite and Dark Blood, the new Logan McRae thriller takes a look at the terrors of reality television celebrity
You will raise money for the safe return of Alison and Jenny McGregor. If you raise enough money within fourteen days they will be released. If not, Jenny will be killed.
Alison and Jenny McGregor?Aberdeen's own mother-daughter singing sensation?are through to the semi-finals of TV smash-hit Britain's Next Big Star. They're in all the gossip magazines, they have millions of YouTube hits, and everyone loves them. But their reality-TV dream has turned into a real-life nightmare. The ransom demand appears in all the papers, on the TV, and on the internet, telling the nation to dig deep if they want to keep Alison and Jenny alive. The media want action; the public displays of grief and anger are reaching fever-pitch. Time is running out, but DS Logan McRae and his colleagues have nothing to go on: the kidnappers haven't left a single piece of forensic evidence. The investigation is going nowhere. It looks as if the price of fame just got a lot higher.

"But while the religious quests of Stone's characters help drive his story, the novel is ultimately concerned less with metaphysics and cosmic order than with the earthly realm of politics and the human craving for certainty. The characters in Damascus Gate may be "God- struck," they may dream insistently of a better world, but like so many Stone characters, they end up captives of history and their own very human illusions." — The New York Times
"Heavy as a marble tablet, it delivers revelations about character and culture in the way that only a dense, textured novel can.... Precise and passionate, Damascus Gate is a stunning achievement." — Philadelphia Inquirer
"Damascus Gate asks enormous questions about cosmic truth—and its effect on those who think they own it—with intensity, intellectual rigor and abiding morality." — San Francisco Chronicle
"The writing, often dense with metaphor and landscape, is powerful, and the result is a pulsing, profound novel...." — Entertainment Weekly
ROBERT STONE (1937-2015) was the acclaimed author of eight novels and two story collections, including Dog Soldiers, winner of the National Book Award, and Bear and His Daughter, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His memoir, Prime Green, was published in 2007.

Just to clarify, a Pro Mini could also do POV, it is just how to get the data into the firmware. It would need to be hard coded. It's possible, but not as easy as having onboard memory and a way of communicating.
Also, to do light painting and creating patterns, a Pro Mini on its own will do that with the existing patterns in the existing code.
Yes, I developed the App and will share it.
It allows control over a lot of parameters, like pattern, mode, brightness, sleep, and more.
It will also format and send the pixels from a bitmap to the device. I could make it generate a bitmap matrix to hard code into the device. Let me think about that a bit...
Think I'm catching on how the LED's work.
basically the uC sends out 24bit packets for each "LED" and the LED's bucket brigade the data on down 'til it reaches the last LED.. with all the data sent for all LED's by the time the first data packet reaches the last LED,
then it ceases data for at least 50us so the data in the LED's will "latch" and thus display the color/brightness for each of the RGB led's.
So it seems there would be some hand coding put in prior to compiling the code, depending on how many LED's are on your strip/project.
This is the kind of usbasp I have to program an KK2.0 FC/avr. Shouldnt I be able to make some kind of hookup adapter to get the data across to a Mini Pro?
I'll gnaw on this info a bit more before I buy a LED strip. Looks like the best price I could find in ebay was about $15 shipped for a 60 LED 1M strip.
I'm fine with simple patterns. I have no need for POV at this time with multirotors.
I'd really like to play around with the pulses coming from the Rx to indicate higher throttle, if it's a quad being moved fwd/back left/right.
A lot of possibilities.. just going to take me awhile to wrap my head around the coding enough to figure out new patterns to run on it.. let alone how to read the Rx's pulses and use the info to alter the patterns.
I noticed my mini pro is 16mhz.
Will the code/compiler make up for the faster speed automatically or do I need to locate the proper code for my Mini?
and finally.. can it be possible to use a BT module like this?
to stream data to the mini Pro?
After scouring the web, there does not appear to be a premade LED kits for multirotors that do more than turn on or off. I am looking for addressable LEDs with controllable light patterns. If I can build a quad copter, I am sure I can connect lights, power, and controlling boards. My limitations will be programming a controlling board as I have never done that.
Two questions
Reading through this thread, it appears some programming is available in links at the beginning. It also appears some will be posted for android control. (I like that) For a newbee to these controllers, what should I get for easy programming and android control?
To power lights and controlling board only, would the Li-ion battery in the link below work? I use these every day in my high drain tactical lights. I have chargers to charge them separate from the model. They have similar voltage range to 1s lipos. They have protection built in with auto disconnect from the circuit, in case of short circuit, extreme temperature, abnormally high current. They also have and over-voltage, over-charge, and over discharge protection, all that I know works from daily use and abuse.
you may want to visit this site for options and help in programming devices to control these
Looks like some decent documentation describing how they work and on how to use them.
I'm looking into how to alter preset patterns using the PWM signals from the Rx.
Would be cool to have directional indication from A & E.
Throttle could change speed of patterns too.

re: "other than blinking"
Using 5mm RGB LEDs with integrated WS2811, in combination with the code here: http://bleaklow.com/2012/12/02/drivi...16mhz_avr.html, I added simple support into MultiWii and have 4 individually addressable RGB LEDs attached to a 120mm (diagonal) micro quad frame that flies well using the atmega 328 based Micro MWC fc avail from HobbyKing. The FC has 2 outputs exposed beyond the 4 brushed motor outputs, making this pretty simple to wire up. I'm only using 1 of them.
Currently experimenting with what to do with the LEDs For now have just been playing with having them change based on pitch and roll of the quad. But there's many possibilities. To set 4 of these LEDs it takes 120 microseconds (.12 miliseconds) of having interrupts paused and monopolizing the FC. I don't really know enough yet to understand if this is supposed to be an issue, and my flying skills aren't great so far, but I haven't seen any ill effects in practice - the quad flies just fine.
There are a few pictures in the Dreamcatcher thread in mini-multirotator forum if you are interested. Anyway, it's definitely possible to do this on something that flies. Ideally, there would be a separate AVR controlling the LEDs that can take input with a less timing specific protocol and handle the LEDs without monopolizing the FC. This way many more LEDs could be handled - 4 is probably pushing it already with an atmega328 that is also controlling flight.
I'm powering the LEDs straight off the 1S lipo that drives the quad - so far this works OK, though there is the occasional flicker. A better power solution would be required for more LEDs.
I just want to build a red rear, white front pattern for orientation and then a few "UFO" patterns to generate UFO reports in my hood.
Looking at all the code makes my head hurt. Maybe I would understand more if I actually bought a control board to try. Are there any boards with a graphical programming interface that is smart enough for a dumb "Windows click on the screen guy" to use?
I was going to use an arduino Uno to mess around with first.
like this one
then later perhaps load the code into a Mini Pro, like this..
I figured it would be best to buy a strip of lights like these with the waterproof covering
granted, $24 is a little high, but it comes from a USA seller and has the waterproof protection, which is handy to protect them from bumps and bruises (crashes and other mishaps)
eventually I'd imagine there'd be a bluetooth setup to use with a mobile device.
right now I think the tech of these addressable LED's is so new that there isnt much out there that is PnP ready, so it's pretty much build what you want/need from scratch.
and I have not seen anything PnP ready for multirotors yet, that's for sure!
Here is a slideshow on how to get patterns loaded in using FASTled
find example patterns here
Those boards you linked will both work.
Why not get the LED's from China (as per the link in the first posts)? You may need to order a bit more (4M), but you get them for less than $12 per meter.
The code in the first posts also contains a lot of patterns and is ready to go for whatever board you use.
PS, be aware that the FastLED library may or may not support 8Mhz processors?
The NeoPixel library I use in the provided code does.
I finally got my ws2811 strip of LED's.
(its an earlier version of the ws2812b's)
Hooked it up to my Uno and got it going right away!
I got both NeoPixel and FastLED working with it, no problem!
Here's a vid of one of the first demo's I loaded up on the Uno...

A man who made death threats against the Jewish school in Toulouse where Mohammed Merah killed four people last year was ordered jailed for a year.
Lucien Abdelrhafor, 20, in an expedited court procedure Monday also received an additional year's suspended jail term for phoning in the threats to the Ohr Hatorah school, the French daily L'Express reported.
According to SPCJ, the French Jewish community's security service, the man called the school on Sept. 16 and told a secretary, "I am Mohammed Merah's cousin and I'm coming over tonight to kill you."
Merah in March 2012 gunned down a rabbi and three children at the school, which changed its name from Ozar Hatorah after the attack.
Abdelrhafor in the call claimed to be a "cousin" of Merah — a false claim, according to SPCJ.
SPCJ said police have arrested several callers who threatened violence against the school following the shooting.
French police believe Merah planned the shooting with his older brother, Abelkader, who is in prison awaiting trial.

2002 BEST Burger, Gourmet
Bristol Lounge
Like early 19th-century vintage and all the glamor it entails, the Bristol Lounge is back. Actually, like the classic pearls and impeccably cut suits you'll find around its tables, the Bristol never really went away. But after losing this category last year to the Harvest, the Four Seasons' lounge and its burger have reclaimed their places in our hearts, and the reason why is simple: sweet beef that fills your mouth with so much flavor it's almost surreal. Toppings—from the thick and fruity slice of ripe tomato the specialty mustards and perfectly toasted bun—are first rate. Service is prompt and polite, and the setting is pure suave sophistication.

Appreciating the historic, unhittable greatness of Billy Wagner
Oct 12, 2010, 12:49 PM EDT
Billy Wagner's phenomenal career ending with him leaving a save situation and limping off the field before being replaced on the playoff roster due to an oblique injury is all kinds of not fair, but the diminutive flame-thrower remained a badass until the very end, agreeing to a pair of injections for the slim chance it would allow him to pitch again because he "didn't care about the risk of long-term injury."
My hope is that the unfortunate manner his career ended doesn't take anything away from how spectacular he was for 15 seasons. Wagner is a seven-time All-Star who ranks fifth all time with 422 saves, but a deeper look at his career numbers reveals his true dominance.
For instance, among all the pitchers in baseball history with at least 800 career innings Wagner has the highest strikeout rate:
SO/9 BILLY WAGNER 11.92 Randy Johnson 10.61 Kerry Wood 10.35 Pedro Martinez 10.04 Nolan Ryan 9.55
That's a pretty amazing list to sit atop. Not coincidentally, he's also the all-time leader in fewest hits allowed per nine innings:
H/9 BILLY WAGNER 5.99 Herb Score 6.39 Nolan Ryan 6.56 Sandy Koufax 6.79 J.R. Richard 6.88
Wagner is also the all-time leader in adjusted ERA+ among all left-handed relievers with at least 800 innings:
ERA+ BILLY WAGNER 187 John Franco 138 John Hiller 134 Sparky Lyle 128 Jesse Orosco 126
The degree to which Wagner blows away the rest of the lefty reliever competition in ERA+ is ridiculous. To put those numbers in some context, consider that the difference between Wagner at 187 and second-place John Franco at 138 is bigger than the difference between Franco at 138 and, say, Scott Schoeneweis at 92.
And here's how Wagner ranks in ERA+ among all relievers with 800-plus career innings:
ERA+ Mariano Rivera 204 BILLY WAGNER 187 Hoyt Wilhelm 147 Dan Quisenberry 147 Trevor Hoffman 141
Highest strikeout rate of all time, fewest hits per nine innings of all time, best ERA+ ever by a left-handed reliever, and second-best ERA+ among all relievers behind only Mariano Rivera. I really hope everyone who saw Wagner limp off the mound Friday night realizes they saw the end of one of the most extraordinarily dominant reliever careers in baseball history.
In his final season, at age 38, he saved 37 games with a 1.43 ERA, .159 opponents' batting average, and 13.5 strikeouts per nine innings. I hope Wagner enjoys his retirement, because I know National League hitters will.
- Mr. Heyward - Oct 12, 2010 at 12:58 PM
Thanks for posting this, I knew he was a badass but this sheds some light on how badassy he is/was. Not an ideal way to end a career but I'm sure in short time people will look at those career numbers and remember him by that more than anything.
- Aarcraft - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:02 PM
Hall of Fame? Or is the third best closer of the era, behind Hoffman and Rivera, going to get left out in the cold.
- ultimatecardinalwarrior - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:17 PM
I'm sure by the time he's eligible, the stat guys will have infiltrated enough into the sportswriters that he'll be able to make it in. Those numbers are crazy.
- dave mac - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:18 PM
Third best? Hoffman isn't even close…
- dave mac - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:19 PM
Third best? Hoffman isn't even close…
- Conor - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:21 PM
Don't forget about his postseason brilliance: 11 2/3 innings, 21 hits, 3 HRs, 10.03 ERA, 1.971 WHIP.
- bmoline - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:32 PM
Yeah, because 11 2/3 innings is a HUGE sample size…
- ebraves - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:39 PM
I wonder who's hat he wears when he's elected into the Hall…
- Jonny5 - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:50 PM
It was the story of the Braves this season though Heyward. It's very fitting that he goes down with everyone else.. pretty much.
- bofarr - Oct 12, 2010 at 1:55 PM
If elected I can't imagine it is as anything but an Astro.
- Infield Fly - Oct 12, 2010 at 2:03 PM
Yeah, but he's still pissed about the way it went down when Houston traded him. Wouldn't surprise me if his preference would be as a Brave, though it would never actually happen.
- The Steve Jeltz Experiment - Oct 12, 2010 at 2:17 PM
Has to be an Astro when he's inducted. I say when because those numbers are otherworldly, and worthy of induction. Doesn't mean the sportswriters won't screw it up.
- Utley's hair - Oct 12, 2010 at 2:32 PM
Based on how often a vast majority of players get to see postseason play, yes it is a sizable sample size.
- Aarcraft - Oct 12, 2010 at 2:46 PM
you might be right, but Hoffman will certainly get in before him.
- Aarcraft - Oct 12, 2010 at 2:47 PM
my understanding is the player doesn't have a say anymore.
- Chipmaker - Oct 12, 2010 at 4:06 PM
I remember when he was Billy the Kid back in Houston. Great days, great days.
- ebraves - Oct 12, 2010 at 5:00 PM
I'm positive Andre Dawson made the choice to go with Expos. I remember there was a stink over Cubs not retiring his number because she didn't pick cubs.
- Route36West - Oct 12, 2010 at 5:35 PM
I wonder if we would have gotten this feel good post if he signed with another team this year instead of the Braves.
- crkreg - Oct 12, 2010 at 6:06 PM
Those are hollow numbers and you know it. He was a loser everywhere he played. He never got the job done when it counted most, in Houston, Philly, New York, Boston, and now Atlanta. He had a chance to be a difference maker in all five places and couldn't handle the pressure. He was a terrible teammate who cared only about himself. I hope he stays retired that way he'll go out a loser like always.
Good day to you Billy.
- Halo Fan - Oct 12, 2010 at 7:12 PM
Officials from the Hall of Fame now make all cap selections. ebraves, you are incorrect. Dawson is on record as preferring a Cubs cap; the Hall chose otherwise.
- BoySpunOut - Oct 12, 2010 at 7:20 PM
Yeah, cause you know, Gleeman is notorious on the web for his love of the Braves.
- schmedley - Oct 12, 2010 at 8:00 PM
Very good player, but I hated him for all of the idiotic things that he said when he was with the Phillies. Just a negative ion who always had a complaint about someone or something. Good riddance to a bad guy!
- smootysmoot - Oct 13, 2010 at 2:02 AM
if u dont know the guy personally, i would keep my mouth shut. it makes u look stupid

To APUG – I do agree that APUG is a wonderful recourse and I enjoy being a sponsor. I was not aware of the hybrid forum when I made the post and I had assumed that although everyone here shot film, that not everyone was using a wet darkroom. Regardless of my sponsorship status I do not feel that gives me the right to abuse a forum and it is of upmost importance to me that the forum owners and members always consider me to be a positive contributor.
My apologies for offending some of the membership and the spirit of the forum with what David refers to as my "marketing faux pas".
I have learned from this exchange and I will be more careful in the future.

Ok, I hope this post won't be seen as stretching things waaay to far. But yesterday, a little dog jumped outside of a tram, the tram started and the tram-driver refused to stop. The little dog was dragged behind/besides the tram despite the cries from the owner of the dog, it was hurt pretty badly. I won't post the picture of the dog here, but only the link to the story:
I find the driver to be ultimately inhumane and stupid, bordering on sadistic. The tram company has stated they'll pay the bills for the veterinarian, and I hope they'll sack the driver promptly. But that's not been mentioned yet.
