Universal City Walk
Favorite thing: This Citywalk is a virtual tourist trap if you are fond of shopping and eating out as you will be spoiled for choices while hangin out here before or after touring the Universal Studios Theme park. Universal CityWalk is the name given to the entertainment and retail districts located adjacent to the theme parks of Universal Parks & Resorts. Universal CityWalk Hollywood is a three-block entertainment, dining, shopping promenade. Options include more than 30 places to eat, a 19-screen movie theater featuring IMAX theater, seven night spots, indoor skydiving and more than 30 stores. I will have a separate shopping and dining tip of the City Walk

Universal Studios
Favorite thing: a general tip. Universal studios Hollywood is the first universal studios theme park and is the star attraction of the unincorporated city of Universal City in the Metropolitan Los Angeles Area. It is one of the oldest and most famous Hollywood movie studios still in use. Its official marketing headline is "The Entertainment Capital of LA", though during the summer it is often advertised as "The Coolest Place in LA." It was initially created to offer tours of the real Universal Studios soundstages and sets. It is the first of many full-fledged Universal Studios Theme Parks located across the world. Universal Studios Hollywood is split into two areas on different levels, connected by a series of escalators called the Starway. These areas are known as the Upper lot and Lower lot. Each lot features a collection of rides, shows and attractions as well as food, beverage and merchandise shops and the famed Universal City Walk in the front which serves as an entrance plaza from the parking lots to the theme parks and has it's own share of shops, restaurants and other attractions.
Fondest memory: going to universal Studios Hollywood is a must.

Special Needs
Favorite thing: I am a big advacate for people with special needs. Many amusement parks will mostly certainly try to accomodate everyone with their special needs. Yet, not everyone in any of the amusement parks be aware of your rights of accomodation. You should be able to enjoy the park like everyone else. So do NOT let someone tell you different. If you have any questions please go to the customer relation or services office and I am sure someone can assist you with any questions or problems. This world is unique and beautiful because of special needs people and what they endure to enjoy everything like anyone else.
I noticed on a few occasions of individuals attending to someone in a wheelchair and not being aware that they didn't have to push the individual all the way thru the line. You should be able to enter the front since it takes them extra time to assist someone into and from a ride. At Disneyland they give out special passes so you enter thru a special area to get onto the rides.

Which Ticket to buy?
Favorite thing: It is possible to 'do' Universal Studios in one day. But if you are staying at the Sheraton or Hilton just down the road, it's a good idea to get a two day pass or an annual pass. These will allow you to come and go as you please, maybe just spending half a day in the park and relaxing for the other half.
If you purchase your tickets on line you can sometimes get 2 days for the price of one. Annual passes work in a similar way, if you are a tourist - but there are 'blackout' days.
- Theme Park Trips
See the Water World show.
Favorite thing: See the Water World show! It's a must.
Don't forget the green benches are part of the splash zone so chances are you'll get wet during the show. Very wet. Show participants throw buckets of water on the crowd during the show.
Fondest memory: There is an airplane flying in from nowhere and lands right in the middle of the lake, creating huge splashes and fireballs. You can see part of this plane at the right side of the enclosed image.
Please check my "Water World" travelodge for aditional images on this show.

The Back to the Future...
Favorite thing: The Back to the Future movie ride is fantastic. I won't say that it puts you inside a movie because that would cheapen my memories of the experience. For me it would be more accurate to describe it as a visualization of the imagination. It seemed to physically place me inside the daydreams I had when I was a child. The ride through the futuristic city, the ice age, the T-Rex, the volcano--after the ride was over I had gained this euphoria that I used to feel as a child when pretending these things outside with my friends. The feeling wore off after I went on the ride a few more times of course....but my little sisters, who were under ten years old at the time, never seemed to grow tired of it. I saw all the kids getting excited around me and thought what a great thing it would be to have a job creating rides like this one. Then I started daydreaming... ;o)
You've GOT to take the...
Favorite thing: You've GOT to take the Universal Studios tour. The tour is the central attraction of the amusement park. It's very fun and gave my overactive imagination and I the fairly pathetic illusion that I was a 'movie mogul.' I would go through the tour thinkning to myself 'I could do so much better with that movie set' or, when the tour guide would mention the ideas behind present and upcoming movies I'd think, 'That idea is trash, I can do better.: Anyways, enough with the indulgence in my little day-dreams--let me tell you, in length, about my tour experience...First off, let me tell you the same thing I mentioned under tip #4 on the Anaheim page: WATCH YOUR BACK! No wonder I still wimper in the night over the mention of an amusement park--the're a menace!!! Look out for the horror movie monsters. Universal studios is the only place on earth where the bogey man is real. And with that, let me tell you the story of 'Frankenstein and Me.' The faint of heart may want to turn on all the lights in the house for this one...
Fondest memory: (I use the term 'fondest' in the loosest possible sense here) During my last trip to Universal Studios, while standing innocently in the mile-long line for the tour, Frankenstein snuck up behind me and put his big ugly green hand on my shoulder. Talk about a heart-attack!!! 'Unn Ugh Unn,' he says. 'What?' I remark with a rather perplexed look on my face. 'Ugg Unn Oog.' Then Dracula came over to translate with this phony Transylvanian accent. 'He vants to have his picture taken with yoo.' Sure enough, here comes this photographer all ready to embarass. All I remember thinking was 'Oh great, I'm chatting with Frankenstein, Dracula, and some sleazy photographer in a bad Hawaiian t-shirt...is this a living nightmare or what? But still I says, 'All right guys, I'll do it.' We walk over to the rail where the trams come in to pick people up for the tour. Oh, by the way, we were standing in front of about a HUNDRED PEOPLE!!! 'Move a little closer to Frankenstein sir,' says the photographer. 'Uh, how close?' Suddenly Frankenstein slumps his arm around my shoulder and the photographer says 'Smile!' Let's review the situation a moment shall we? Here I am standing in 100 dergree heat with Frankenstein's big heavy BO ridden arm wrapped around me and this guy wants me to smile?!? Ya right! But, being the considerate man I am...I smile anyways :) 'So,' I say to the photographer, 'when do I get my picture?' He stops, 'Huh? Oh get it at the photo booth near the entrance to the park...it's only ten bucks plus tax.'
--under construction--
Hey! My writing is like fine wine! It must be aged slowly to maturity! (either wine, or cheap beer; depending on how you look at it :o)
A friend of mine was selected...
Favorite thing: A friend of mine was selected from the audiance to be an Astronaut in a special effects show during the Tram Tour stopover. He was suspended by wires in front of the crowd with Blue background and effects were added and on the TV Monitor it looks like He was in Space.It was from a scene from 2001, A Space Oddasey.
If you want to visit the...
Favorite thing: If you want to visit the Universal Studios, you will need to pay $40 something per person to enter. They have quite some rides and stuff, but very few compared to Disneyland. The best ride I ever had from Universal is the tour that they give around the studio. I had plenty of fun.
Fondest memory: The tour took about an hour to complete. It is amazing to see so much movies that have been produced ever since it was created. Imagine most of all the movies you see in the movie theaters were actually shot in the studios there. They have so many sets that actually look like the actual set in a place they want ie. Italy or back in late 60's where 'Leave it to Beaver' & 'Andy Griffith' was filmed then. Here's a picture of the famous spot in the new Charlie's Angels the movie, and also 'Scary Movie II' which they were making fun of Charlie's Angels hehe

Scuba NetworkRead MoreWith Scuba Network's Discover Scuba class, aspiring sea-divers can get a quick taste of what it's like to don advanced scuba gear and navigate the water. Whether you're curious about the marine justice league or wish to erect an underwater general store before the impending kelp rush, an introductory scuba class is an easy and effective way to decide whether submarine life is right for you. You'll flipper through Scuba Network's safe and controlled pool environment with a professional, helpful instructor. With the scuba sage dishing out useful, hands-on tutoring, you'll learn the basics of the underwater hobby and be on your way to diving several leagues under the sea. The deal also includes all gear except for a bathing suit and a towel, so there's no need to hastily overbid on Jacques Cousteau's original mermaid suit.43 W 21st StNew York, NY US
Pan Aqua DivingRead MoreThe 90- to 120-minute Discover Scuba course introduces the inexperienced diver to underwater breathing. The lesson is taught by a professional instructor who will equip each student with the proper gear and the proper knowledge to use the proper gear. After the pre-dive lesson, you'll get acclimated to the new breathing method and dive into the Manhattan Plaza pool, located just above the Pan Aqua storefront. Underwater, you'll get a feel for aqueous immersion while learning about dive basics and safety practices. Bring along your own bathing suit, towel, and a lock for your possessions.460 W 43rd StNew York, NY US
1 877 Scuba USARead MoreWhat can you learn at 1 877 ScubaUSA? SCUBA Certification classes at the entry level are available to almost everyone. Upon completion of your basic certification course you will be qualified to enroll in the Advanced Diver Development Program and many of the specialty courses. Continuing education up to Instructor480 Route 17Paramus, NJ US
Adventure Scuba New YorkRead MoreFor many, the depths of the world's oceans and lakes are places so unfamiliar they might as well be on another planet. For the team of experienced, thrill-seeking instructors at Adventure Scuba, however, they're just another place to explore. With one of these coaches for each three to four students on a pool dive, the PADI Five-Star IDC center leads any student aged 10 years and older into the underwater world through various classes focused on hands-on instruction. A PADI open-water certification course uses the controlled environment of the center's 90 degree pool to introduce basic equipment use and techniques, giving students the skills necessary to continue their training in local waters or recreate Jacques Cousteau's bachelor party. In the warmer months, the center also offers a range of specialty dive certifications, such as advanced and rescue diving; it also hosts year-round classroom courses in Enriched Air Diving, CPR and first aid. Though Adventure Scuba provides much of its training equipment to students at no additional cost, its dive shop sells essential diving gear by manufacturers such as Oceanic, Henderson and ScubaPro.1737 York AvenueNew York, NY US
Oceanblue DiversRead MoreThe flipper-clad minds behind Oceanblue Divers live and breathe below the sea—and they're bent on helping others do the same. But while their expertise pervades every aspect of scuba adventuring, their facility's offerings can be boiled down to three deep-diving categories: training, gear, and travel. The Training: Cookies are central to the Oceanblue Divers training philosophy—but not in any edible form. The PADI-certified instructors instead view baking as the antithesis of their diver-training program. Nobody can learn to dive through rote steps and precise measurements, they believe, but rather only by becoming comfortable through and through with the gear, the techniques, and the ocean's depths. Hence the curriculum: a mix of classroom instruction and pool practice augmented by real-world anecdotes from the instructors. A notable absence? Recipes. The Gear: The onsite shop stocks equipment from some of the top scuba brands in the world, including Aqua Lung, Henderson, Mares, and Liquivision. Divers can also shop on-the-go by browsing everything from dive bags to gauges in the online store. The Travel: The Bahamas, Indonesia, the Cayman Islands—such tropical locales are par for the course when it comes to Oceanblue Divers' adventures, upon which all skill levels are welcome. The team can also function as quasi-travel agents, building custom vacations for divers with specific destinations in mind, such as Cozumel or their neighbor's hot tub.35 Waterside PlazaNew York, NY US
Scuba Network New JerseyRead MoreSpanning the eastern shores of the U.S. from New York to Florida, Scuba Network's staff has overseen thousands of completed scuba certifications throughout its eight locations. Group NAUI certification courses keep learning to dive simple with a three-step process that includes online academic training, pool sessions, and open-water dives with sharks that have had their teeth removed by a dentist. Staffers supplement dives with know-how on equipment, from masks and snorkels to underwater cameras.294 5th AvenueNew York, NY US

run the node module jshint recursively on a number of directories and files
jshintRunner is a module to recursively run the node module jshint recursively on a number of directories and files.
##Usage and examples
###Option 1 configure and run the batch file in the scripts folder
###Option 2
node src/jshintRunner.js pathToDirectory
this will run jshint on all the javascript files in the target directory
node src\jsHintRunner.js src scripts .jshintrc package.json
will run jshint on files that are in the folders ['src', 'scripts'] and the explicit files ['.jshintrc', 'package.json']
###Exmple - running jshint on all jshintRunner files (excluding node_modules)
node src\jsHintRunner.js src scripts .jshintrc package.json bin
###Exmple - running jshint on all jshintRunner files (including node_modules)
node src\jsHintRunner.js .
##Configuration Config is done through the .jshintrc and jshint.json files. jshintRunner will look in the target directory for a config file, if it cant find one it will progressivly look up the parent directory structure untill it does or it gets to the root. if no config files are found then it will use {} empty options.
The .jshintrc and jshint.json files must be valid json for the file to get used as config. that means the keys must be enclosed in quotes and there must be no comments.
If you have specified many different directories to run over each different directory can have its own config file, if you want them all to use the same put a config file in a common parent directory and no config in the children. This way the same config will get used for all the folders.
