text:
John Marino has created something very useful: a graphical tool for Hammer file history. It's called 'Slider', and it uses curses to work in a terminal. It shows historic versions of files and can restore those old versions as needed. This was already possible in Hammer, of course, but it required a sequence of commands that were not straight-forward. I've been slow enough posting it that version 2.0 is already out, offering a way to see files that no longer exist, but are still in history. (i.e. deleted some time ago) 'Time Machine' sounds like the best name, but that seems to be taken.

Slider, for Hammer
A tip for Hammer disks and history
One way to keep file history on an very active Hammer disk from eating up all the space: more snapshots. This may seem counterproductive, but disk pruning eliminates historical data between snapshots, so you can keep older data at the cost of some temporal accuracy.
How, where, and why DragonFly
As part of another thread, Steve Petrie posted an in-depth description of how and where and why he's using DragonFly. Worth looking at either for workflow tips or for just seeing the use case.

Swapcache and improving performance
From a question about mixing in a SSD and a very slow disk: swapcache can make things better, though I suggest other crazy arrangements.
dports without X11
If you really, really want to make sure you aren't pulling in any parts of X when installing dports, and you're building from source, there's a few options you can set to keep X11 off your system. You can even go farther.
IPMI in DragonFly
I had to type it that way because it rhymes. Sascha Wildner has committed an IPMI driver port, tested/watchdogged by Markus Pfeiffer. What's it do? It's a machine management standard.

Installworld, no matter what
It's possible, if you are several releases (years) behind, to end up with a DragonFly system that can't compile and install the current release, due to incremental changes over time. It's rare, but it could happen now between, say, version 3.4 and 4.0. The usual solution would be to incrementally upgrade in order, which is a lot of building and updating. The alternative is the new installworld-force option from Matthew Dillon that forces a new set of binaries into place. Use as a last resort.
Virtual I/O performance
If you want to help I/O performance when DragonFly is virtualized, here's a short checklist of what to work on. I haven't noticed any problems – but I'm not taxing any of my VMs that heavily.
IPFW2 branch for testing
bycn82's rewrite of IPFW2 is available as a git branch to try out; he's posted the link. Please try, especially if you are still working with the original ipfw.
(note: remember, 'ipfw' in DragonFly is what was called 'ipfw2' years and years ago because it was a replacement of the original 'ipfw' in FreeBSD. It was called ipfw2 but referenced as ipfw so that the same commands worked. Technically, this branch bycn82 is working on would be ipfw3, but he keeps referring to it as ipfw2. Confused? Good.)
Remember AUTODEEP
If you're using one of those Acer C720 or C720p Chromebooks with DragonFly, remember to set:
To automatically enter the right power-saving states on the CPU. You used to have to do it manually, and now you don't.
Support for a device nobody has
Sascha Wilder ported over the urio(4) driver to DragonFly. It's for the USB-based Rio mp3 players. Does anyone have one of these and is running DragonFly? That would be a startling coincidence.

The Varialus page
This page, Varialus et Anisoptera, set up by… I'm not sure of the real name but it's 'varialus' on IRC – has a detailed description of the DragonFly install process and installation of MATE, plus extra notes. I always find these sorts of cheatsheets entertaining.
Fred, in color
The DragonFly boot menu has been cleaned up a bit, and Fred, the dragonfly drawn on DragonFly, is now in better color. In fact, there's even an option to turn him blue.
Update: I wanted to see what this looked like, and I realized screenshots might help everyone else.
A pile of DragonFly commits
In an effort to reduce my backlog of DragonFly things to post about, here's quick notes:
- The path to xauth is now configurable, though correct by default. (that's bit me in the past)
- There's a new callout*() implementation.
- cpuctl(4) has been imported to allow CPU microcode updates.
- libm has been updated with math functions from FreeBSD and NetBSD, which because of library versioning support, won't cause compatibility problems for older vs. newer DragonFly versions.
- C++11 support is also now available.
svc(8), service manager for DragonFly
I'm running behind so this is a bit old, but: Matthew Dillon commited svc(8), a service manager program. Take a look at its man page to see the potential uses.
A rcrun(8) conversation
Robin Hahling wants feedback on where to go in DragonFly with rcrun(8), service(8), and similar commands. Follow the thread to see the various opinions.
LDAP and DragonFly
Predrag Punosevac posted his writeup of using LDAP and DragonFly, which I'm noting here for the next person that needs LDAP authentication.
XHCI and installing DragonFly
With a recent commit from Sascha Wildner, DragonFly now loads XHCI (meaning USB3) by default. If you had previously tried to install DragonFly via USB stick, and it inexplicably refused to mou t the installer drive… It may work much better now.
Release followups
There's an extended article about the DragonFly 4.0 release on linuxfr.org. You need to be able to read French to enjoy it fully, or perhaps through translation, but it goes into some good depth.
DragonFly 4.0 released!
The 4.0 release of DragonFly is out! Quoting from the release page:
Version 4 of DragonFly brings Haswell graphics support, 3D acceleration, and improved performance in extremely high-traffic networks. DragonFly now supports up to 256 CPUs, Haswell graphics (i915), concurrent pf operation, and a variety of other devices.
The more eagle-eyed downloader will notice it's version 4.0.1, not 4.0.0. That's because
nobody trusts .0 releases I tagged 4.0.0 just before a few useful commits went in, and it's better to retag to make sure everyone got them. See also my message to kernel@/users@
Several DragonFly updates
I'm working on the 4.0 release, but in the meantime, I wanted to point at a slew of updates from Sascha Wildner: ACPICA 20141107, pciconf(8), axge(4), and the kernel part of the netgraph7 Bluetooth stack.
BSDTalk 248: Matthew Dillon and DragonFly
I hadn't caught this yet cause I am working extra hours, but Matthias did: Matthew Dillon talks about DragonFly and the 4.0 release for a good 43 minutes on BSDTalk.
IPFW…3? work
A fellow whom I've only seen named as Bill is working on what he calls ipfw2, though technically what's already in DragonFly is ipfw2, since it's the second version of ipfw. Either way, he has a project page up describing what he's done so far, and what he plans.
Old USB out, new USB in
Sascha Wildner has removed the old USB system from DragonFly; you're getting USB4BSD no matter what now, after the 4.0 release. While we're at it, xhci is now automatically loaded in the installer, so installer USB drives attached to USB3 ports will work.
For USB debugging
Markus Pfeiffer has made usb_pf work on DragonFly, which means it's possible to dump USB traffic and filter it, similar to tcpdump. This can be handy when debugging a USB device, and that's like 90% of all devices anyway.
DragonFly 4.0.0RC3 images
If you look at your local DragonFly mirror, you'll see ISO and IMG versions of DragonFly 4.0.0RC3. Please run, break, and report.
(Check the iso-images directory.)
A DRM speedup
Imre Vadaz's recent change to dev/drm, adding kqueue support, has (from anecdotal reports in IRC) made video performance much better. It's committed to DragonFly 4.0, so it'll be in the next release.
No, wait, RC3
Matthew Dillon had some followup commits that went in just after I tagged RC2 of DragonFly 4.0 last night, so I've tagged RC3. Tagging's cheap, anyway.
DragonFly 4.0 RC2 tagged
I just tagged a second release candidate of DragonFly 4. Matthew Dillon's recent reapctl() addtions – now called procctl() – just went in.
reapctl() added to DragonFly
More USB ethernet drivers
I said "USB ethernet drivers should work now" yesterday, but didn't specify what works with the new USB structure in DragonFly. Sascha has fixed that by explicitly porting aue(4), cue(4), ipheth(4) and kue(4) from FreeBSD. As his commit notes, there's still a few more devices to go.
Two more network options
If you've got a USB Ethernet device on DragonFly, it should work. Also, some cell phones tether correctly now, when they may have had trouble before.
DragonFly 4.0 status
The release candidate for DragonFly 4.0 came out last week, and normally the release would happen after a week. There's still a few people reporting an odd freeze, so until we can find a cause, we'll continue to wait.
Chrome on DragonFly
Chrome runs on DragonFly now, apparently possible now because of this ported fix from Joris Giovannangeli.
More DragonFly as a desktop
If you can read French, or can translate, here's an article covering the use of DragonFly as a desktop system.
dports for DragonFly 4.0
Despite my complete lack of good planning, John Marino and Francois Tigeot have packages available for the DragonFly 4.0 release candidate that I assembled. Point at this directory to use them.
DragonFly DRM1 drivers dropped
As Francois Tigeot has pointed out, recent Mesa upgrades have made very old graphics drivers using DRM1 no longer work. They've been removed. This won't affect you unless your graphics card is 10+ years old.
For DragonFly/nginx users
If you are running DragonFly, and also using nginx, the so_reuseport option will give you a significant speed boost. I've mentioned it before, but not this directly.
DragonFly 4.0.0-RC out
Your local mirror should have a copy of the release candidate for DragonFly 4.0.0 by now. Please try it out and report problems. Note that this is a x86_64 only version; there's no i386 version though you may be able to manually build on i386.
Clang support in DragonFly
It's been possible to install and run clang on DragonFly for a long time, of course, and at least build world with it. However, John Marino is putting in significant work to make clang one of the system compilers, replacing the older gcc44 that's in DragonFly now. (The newer gcc47 stays.) This won't be part of the next release, but it should be available soon after.
For the next DragonFly release
I noted the last few things that should be committed before the DragonFly release. People have spoken up for most of them, but it wouldn't hurt to try recent -master with the upmap/kpmap work that recently went in. Benchmarks wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
led(4) for you and me
Sascha Wildner brought in led(4) from FreeBSD. It's a driver for flashing LEDs, as you might have guessed. I'd like to see someone make Blinkenlights, whether BeBox-style or just generally mysterious.
/dev/upmap and /dev/kpmap added
EuroBSDCon, XDC 2014, and DragonFly
Francois Tigeot gave talks at EuroBSDCon and XDC 2014, and he's posted slide and video links. He covers DragonFly and Postgres and video drivers, or at least I assume so cause I haven't watched them yet. There's other BSD-specific material available too, according to his post.
Out of base, into dports
John Marino updated wpa_supplicant (in dports). He then suggested moving it out of base into dports, so that it could be updated independently of the base system. (this update, for instance, took years.) Since wpa_supplicant is necessary to get some systems online – and it can't be installed if missing if you don't have a network link – it may be too risky. I think other packages could be moved out, myself.
OpenSSH update and incompatibility
Robin Hahling volunteered to update OpenSSH in DragonFly, which is good news. It's a jump from version 6.1 to 6.7, so there's some feature changes. tcpwrappers support is gone, for instance. If you have a reason to object to this change, speak up now.
Pile of point upgrades
John Marino has upgraded gcc, libedit, xz, and grep in DragonFly. Also, tzdata has jumped from version 2014e to 2014h, thanks to Sascha Wildner.
BSDNow 057: The Daemon's Apprentice
This week's BSDNow has an interview about mentoring with Steve Wills of FreeBSD, the usual array of news. This week has more small device news than normal – NetBSD on Raspberry Pi and pfSense on a mini-ITX system. And a mention of my desktop article! I'm relevant!
Powersaving tips
The powersaving page on dragonflybsd.org has seen a bunch of updates; this should be handy even if you aren't on battery power that often.
UDP improvements
Sepherosa Ziehau's recent changes to UDP in DragonFly mention some performance gains to sheer packet count.
Markus Pfeiffer has imported FreeBSD's if_lagg to DragonFly. It's for talking LACP over multiple network ports, so that the traffic from those multiple ports can be aggregated – if what's on the other end generally understands LACP. (Failover mode may not count.) Please test if you have that sort of surfeit of network ports.
Congratulations, Matthew Dillon!
Matthew Dillon hasn't committed anything to DragonFly in several days… cause he just got married! Congratulations to the newly married couple.
DragonFly as a desktop
There's been so much work in DragonFly recently that makes a desktop easier (i915 support, dports, and so on), that I decided to resurrect an older Dell machine and use it as my desktop.
The Dell that I'm using is a leftover from someone else's workplace; it's 7 years old, and has "only" 4G of RAM and a Core 2 DuoE6600 CPU in it. It works, however.
Setting up DragonFly and installing xorg and so on is pretty straightforward. Using dports makes it crazy quick to add all the packages. I went for XFCE4 because I could. Starting X gave me some trouble at first; the default config couldn't find the mouse and would eventually crash.
Running 'X -configure' created a xorg.conf file I could edit, and these lines in /etc/rc.conf gave me a working mouse:
moused_enable="YES" moused_type="auto" moused_port="/dev/ums0"
The crashing problem with my radeon-driven video card was fixed by turning off the acceleration – uncommenting this line in xorg.conf did it:
Option "NoAccel"
Video performance isn't as nice as I would like it with acceleration, but this is an older machine anyway.
I couldn't get sound working. Francois Tigeot has a branch of DragonFly that contains newer sound drivers brought over from FreeBSD, here:
git://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~ftigeot/dragonfly.git (pcm_2014_september branch.)
It doesn't support device cloning, so I can run Youtube videos and XMMS, but not audio from both at the same time. (for instance; not that you'd want to do this other than by accident)
I installed x11/webfonts, and web pages look a bit better after changing my default font preferences.
And… that's about it. It's a working desktop. Digging up a half-height video card that has working acceleration is a next step, but I can't imagine that'll be expensive. I wish I had done this a long time ago.
Backlight on a laptop
Markus Pfeiffer has made it possible to control your laptop's backlight using ACPI – if you have a i915 chipset and DragonFly. xbacklight does not work, but setting hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness does.
Lumina for DragonFly
In a bit of perfect timing, PC-BSD's desktop environment, Lumina, has been ported to DragonFly, thanks to mneumann! It's not in dports yet, but it should be buildable from source…
systat gains -altq display
You can now see the packets, bytes, and drops in altq by using the -altq arg to systat, thanks to this recent commit from Matthew Dillon.
In Other BSDs for 2014/09/06
Why is it so warm out? I want autumn to start.

- NetBSD runs on the OpenRISK 1000.

UDP improvements for DragonFly
This very long commit message from Sepherosa Ziehau details the UDP changes he's made. It's mostly technical details, but at the end he mentions this little tidbit:
"For 'kq_connect_client -u' test, this commit gives 400% performance improvement (31Kconns/s -> 160Kconns/s)."
DragonFly pf/altq/fairq users tip
If you are on DragonFly, using pf, using altq, and using fairq to control usage, there's a latency bug that Matthew Dillon recently fixed. He's posted an announcement and committed fixes to master and 3.8, so it's only an upgrade away.
Haswell graphics and port support
Thanks to Francois Tigeot, the drm/i915 driver now supports Haswell processors, and the special FDI and DDI ports they use. I am late posting this.
An easier moused start
You can now start moused with an argument, so it will look at the right device. In most cases, I imagine "
/etc/rc.d/moused start ums0" will be what anyone wants. Credit to Michael Neumann for the update. Perhaps
moused_flags="ums0" will do it too? I haven't tried yet.
This will overwrite your /etc/devd.conf.
Mach64 users needed
If you are using the ATI Mach64 drm driver on DragonFly, Francois Tigeot would like to know. He's done something that breaks it, but he's making the educated guess that this more-than-10-years-old card is no longer in use.
Full rebuild needed
Because of some structure changes made by Matthew Dillon while chasing a pf bug, you will need to do a full buildworld/buildkernel on your next update – if you are running DragonFly-master. 3.8 users are unaffected by the bug or the change.
What new server should I buy?
The server that hosts shiningsilence.com is getting old, and it's time for me to go to 64-bit DragonFly. It's audience opinion time: what have you purchased lately, and liked? What would you suggest?
Special procedure to update pkg 1.3.6
It seems pkg 1.3.6 was slightly scrambled. If you happen to have built and installed it, John Marino has special instructions on how to update to 1.3.7. If you are on DragonFly 3.8, you can follow those instructions now, and if you are on 3.9, that repo should be ready for an update in the next few days.
New kernel and new target
You should perform a full world and kernel install if on master.
Several people (including me) have been getting bit by a problem: when performing an installworld with a changed kernel, the vn kernel module is loaded, but it was built by the previous kernel and may cause problems when it doesn't match up.
To fix that, vn is now built in, instead of being a separate module. The rescue initrd (which is what is being mounted when it has this problem) is now installed via a 'make rescue' command that can wait until a successful installworld and reboot.
In Other BSDs for 2014/08/23
Another long list. These are making my Friday nights take some extra effort.
- Oolite, an open source game based on Elite. Yes, it runs on BSD. I'm surprised I haven't posted about it before. (via)
- My Experience Switching from Slackware Linux to FreeBSD.
- A week of pkgsrc, #3.
- DiscoverBSD for 2014/08/18.
- OpenBSD is gaining a rcctl(8) tool for automation.
- Phabricator on FreeBSD installation notes.
- 20 years of FreeBSD ports.
- "Does BSD perform disk caching less aggressively?" I bet the person asking was using two different machines at different times with different loads, which means he doesn't know what he's looking for.
- The FreeBSD Foundation's August Update is out.
- Some people don't like pkg.
- The EuroBSDCon 2014 travel grant has been extended, and Google has grants to bring more female computer scientists there.
- Spatializer support in NetBSD.
- NetBSD is keeping up with the gpl2 version of GNU Make.
- PC-BSD 10.0.3-RC1 has been tagged.
- FreeBSD has a new automounter.
- FreeBSD has a set of keymap conversion tools. Might be useful to someone?
- FreeBSD now goes up to 256 CPUs. (I thought this already happened?)
- Yay cross-pollination!
- Apparently people don't pay attention to file contents.
- IPv6 tunneling on OpenBSD.
- OpenBSD has replaced BIND with unbound in the base system.
Acer Chromebook c720p support
If you remember the earlier work to support DragonFly on An Acer c720 Chromebook, it's been repeated for the c720p. The "p" means it's a touchscreen.
pkg upgrade tip for pkg 1.3
DragonFly's using pkg 1.3, at least on master, and I've seen a few people report an error message when performing 'pkg upgrade'. The error message usually includes something like:
pkg: need to re-create repo Avalon to upgrade schema vers
If you get this, do 'pkg update -f' and it will complete.
New dhclient and other improvements
DragonFly's dhclient will now retry failed interfaces and handle being re-run gracefully. This is a blessing for anyone who has had a flaky link. Matthew Dillon's made two other improvements for booting that will also improve boot time when networks go missing.
Moving past ports
Here's a nice advantage for dports and DragonFly: since it's an overlay on FreeBSD ports, it's possible to move to newer or different versions of software without waiting for it to happen in FreeBSD. For example: there's a newer version of the xorg intel driver now in dports – newer than what's in ports.
Full kernel build for DragonFly
If you are tracking DragonFly master, your next kernel build should be full, not quick.
iwn trick: ifconfig wlan0 -ht
If you have a DragonFly system with an iwn wireless chipset, and you are having trouble connecting and running in the 5Ghz part of the spectrum only, here's a tip: the -ht switch may fix it.
DragonFly 3.8.2 images uploaded
It took me a little while, but DragonFly 3.8.2 images are uploaded now to the main site. Check the 3.8.2 changelog if you didn't before. This is a recommended upgrade for the newer OpenSSL, and should otherwise have little impact on the programs you have installed.
Haswell GPU support in DragonFly
There's been good progress in Francois Tigeot's work on Haswell graphics support in DragonFly. If you have one of those newer units, you should be able to use the i915 driver with it now – as long as you keep acceleration off. (You won't notice any difference in 2D anyway.)
DragonFly 3.8.2 rolled
I've tagged DragonFly 3.8.2, which exists mostly to accommodate the latest release of OpenSSL. (Security fixes, which should not be a surprise.) I will build images as soon as I get a chance.
drm/i915 support update
If you have a i915 video chipset (which appears to be most every recent laptop), Francois Tigeot would like you to try his huge patch. It doesn't support Haswell chips yet, though it lays some of the groundwork for it.

Blickling Estate
Gardens and countryside
Our glorious garden
Our visitors are full of praise when they visit Blickling's beautiful garden.
In the 1860s Lady Constance, widow of the 8th Marquis of Lothian, introduced a formal flower garden. Philip Kerr, the 11th Marquis, replaced the Victorian fussiness in 1930, with the simpler lines, shapes and colours retained to this day.
Designing a garden
Head Gardener Paul Underwood has masterminded the evolution of parts of the garden.
Above the parterre you'll find the double border he designed, reflecting the colours in the beds below from white to almost black and with yew and box-hedge walls, the area is designed to make you think you're walking from room to room.
The landscape
A report was commissioned for the National Trust on the landscape of the Blickling Estate, including a brief architectural history and information on the development of the gardens and the park.
Norah Lindsay
The aristocratic garden designer Norah Lindsay greatly admired Gertrude Jekyll's 'arts and crafts' style, particularly the effect of masses of colour.
As well as transforming the gardens at Blickling in this fashion, the well-connected socialite left her mark on other famous properties such as Cliveden, Hidcote Manor and Chirk Castle.

On an afternoon where Michigan seemingly couldn't miss from 3-point range, Nik Stauskas' final attempt caromed off the back iron.
Fortunately for the Wolverines, Caris LeVert was in the wrong place at the right time.
LeVert swooped into the lane for the rebound, which led to a Spike Albrecht free throw. When Aaron Craft bobbled the ball on a potential game-winning 3-point attempt at the buzzer, No. 1 seed Michigan had a 72-69 victory and a berth in Sunday's championship. ...

I created a cronjob with the command crontab -e:
*/1 * * * * /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/scripts/test.sh
This file
test.sh should be executed every minute. But it doesn't work.
If I run the script manually it works fine. So I think the problem is the cronjob not the script ;)
Are there any permissions or something else which block the cronjob?
Is the cronjob syntax correct?

Historical Traveler Reviews Aston Aloha Beach Hotel Kapaa
Great value - great holiday
Stayed here after requesting a move from the truly awful coconut beach resort in November 03. Found the resort to be friendly, spacious and quiet. Hosts a nightclub on Friday & Saturday nights but couldn't hear a thing! You need a car to enjoy the island properly - public transport (bar taxis) is non-existent and no restaraunts in walking distance not that you need any as the hotel food is fantastic and reasonably priced.
Only one complaint - the beds are quite hard but if you can put up with that you can't do better. A superb hotel and excellent value.
Great Value
Stayed 4 nights in November and found this to be an excellant choice for the budget conscience who still want quality. Although the room was small, (standard with 2 double beds), it was clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was a bit expensive. The beach behind the hotel, (requires a short walk), was nice and the only really safe swimming beach. Great for first time snorkelers too! It is the most centrally located property we could find and makes a great starting point to explore the rest of Kauai. While there were several less expensive locations in Kapaa/Wailua, we found this one the best for us and would definately stay again.
Great value
Beautifull,well maintained grounds, central location for touring the island. We liked being able to walk to ocean swimming in the protected cove just in front of the hotel. Staff courteous and effecient, and the web $95 price was a bargain. We will come back.
Wonderful place to stay in Kauai
We stayed at the Aloha Beach Resort for a wonderful 5 days in October 2003. The staff all were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in an ocean view room on the 3rd floor of the Pikake wing, which was perfect for watching the beautiful sunrises over Lydgate Park. The room was clean and there were no problems with it. The location is perfect, very easy to get to all island attractions and only a couple of minutes walk to a great snorkeling beach. We did wish that the rooms had true sit down balconies, but that and the fact that the soda machines were always empty were the only negatives we saw. We definetly plan to stay here again next year, only this time we will stay longer.
Very Good
Hotel is very good for the rate we paid $60/day for weekdays and $95 for the weekend. The only really good beach on Kauai is Poipu Beach.
The hotel is about 20min drive away from Poipu. I would stay at this hotel again.
Great place for families
We stayed at the Aloha Beach Resort in July of 2003. We have a two year old and it was a wonderful location. Right next to a large park with a playground. The best part was the beach. It has a small children's section and a lager swimming snorkeling area. Children eat free at the hotel restaurants. We booked an ocean-view cottage through a travel agent. It was the most wonderful vaction. The rooms are not new but are clean and nice. We will go back next year.
Great Romance Package at Aloha Beach Resort Hotel
We booked the romance package just a week or so before we arrived and we were very pleased. This included an ocean front view room, car, dinner for 2 and a champagne / fruit / cookies / candy basket. The room faced the Lydgate beach - the only beach with an enclosed areas for snorkeling - great for beginners and/or kids. Dinner was scrumptious from appetizers to desserts and very romantic with tiki torch lights. Rooms and facilities were clean and had amenities such as in room refridgerator, rental snorkel gear and activities center. Aloha is located centrally near many activities, the airport and the Wailua river. A best kept secret of Kauai...
Great value!
Stayed at this property for 5 nites in early July. Found fantastic bargain on the hotel's website @ $60 per nite. It was an excellent value for that price, and I'd recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a central location on Kauai. 20 minutes to Poipu in the south and approx.
30-35 min. to north shore. Staff is very friendly. First room I was given was very musty and damp; front desk personnel were very accommodating and switched me to another room at my request.
Replacement room was very good for the price. Not the newest property on the island, but can't beat value and location. Good, clean, convenient, no frills hotel. Would return and stay at the right price.
Good place to stay
The staff were freindly here and the hotel is set in a beautiful location. Walking distance to the beach from the back gate of the hotel. Best place to snorkel or swim in the sea is in this area. You could do with a car to really take in the area and eat out a reasonablly price restaurants. If you didn't have a car you could probably get by for a couple of days although you would have to eat at the hotel and this can be expensive. There are many tours etc going from the hotel but some of these are quite expensive as well.
Good value at Sunspree
I stayed at this Holiday Inn in June, 2002. It's a good value and was convenient to all we wanted to see on the island. It's about 15 minutes from the airport. The facilities were clean, pool is small, walking distance to the beach and staff was friendly. The bathroom was small! Overall I found this Inn for the money a good bargain.

Kauai - The Garden Island
... of hidden scenic gems.
We had absolutely fallen in love with this island the minute we landed, and even more so after our scenic helicopter flight, but it was numerous factors that made Kauai such a special place for us.
Firstly, aside from the Polynesian and American culture mix, the island had a real Asian feel about it. Many of the shops and stalls were built out of wood in a shacky style ...
The Flying Noel's

On the longer lines, you can build up some real speed - especially the Flyin Kauaian's from Alaska. When we came to the last line (the 1/2 mile one), I timed some of the folks as they went. I couldn't time myself however, I was busy holding on!! Nobody wanted to go first, so brave Sheila stepped up. It took her 43 seconds - that is 53.5 miles per hour to complete ...
Horsing around

After a hair brained scheme to get shaved ice, which is really helpful during the hot daytime hours, hint - you won't find them open at night, we said our goodbyes with promises to see each other again in Florida or Arizona soon. As we drove up to the apartment we saw what appeared to be a large feral pig crossing the yard! Marla spent time star watching into the night - stunning.

Day 7 of our Hawaiian Adventure
... Pretty cool to see all the fish along the reef! No sea turtles right here but we did see a couple while on the raft. Jerry learned that mustaches and snorkeling do not work well together...can't get a tight seal on the mask so you get lots of salt water in it. Still managed to enjoy the experience. The ride back was a bouncing one! Full throttle ahead! Pretty sure my internal organs and back will take some time to realign themselves! It was an exciting and exhausting adventurous ...

Watch Kids React to Seeing Nirvana for the First Time

A magician from Finland wanted to see what would happen if he offered dogs a treat...and then made the treat disappear using a slight-of-hand trick.
Kids love overreacting to minor injuries. And here's a pretty funny example. Someone posted a YouTube video of their little girl having a splinter removed.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the astrophysicist who does a lot of TV interviews these days. And there's a video going around where he talks about Isaac Newton. But someone slowed it way down...so he sounds like he's SUPER stoned.
A video of a dog jumping around on a bed while its owners aren't home is making the rounds online. According to the video, the dog isn't allowed to be up there. So when he's all by himself in the house, he takes full advantage of it.
President Barack Obama is the latest to sit down for a chat on 'Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis,' joining luminaries like Sean Penn, Bruce Willis and Arcade Fire.
Millennials. They're everywhere. The debate rages on. Sides are taken over how to define this upcoming batch of semi-adults. Some see them as whiny, self-entitled egomaniacs, while others see them as ambitious go-getters who are willing to rewrite the rules to get what they want.

Miami defense lacking coverage answers - 0 Comments
Let loose with tight ends
MIAMI - In the NFL, many things are inside out. Player safety is an oxymoron. A contract is an illusion built on a fantasy. The "player-owner partnership" is as fictitious an idea as fighting for peace. But one thing has been universally true for decades: If you can't stop something NFL opponents will just keep doing it (unless your name is Mike Martz).

DEFINITION of 'Warrant Coverage'
An agreement between a company and its shareholders whereby the company issues warrants equal to some percentage of the dollar amount of the shareholder's investment.
BREAKING DOWN 'Warrant Coverage'
For example, if an investor purchases 1,000,000 shares of stock at a price of $5 per share (a $5,000,000 investment), and the company grants 20% warrant coverage, the company issues to the investor $1,000,000 in warrants or, in technical terms, warrants 200,000 additional shares at an exercise price of $5 per share.
This would not give the investor any additional downside protection as the underlying shares would be issued at the same price that is currently paid for the stock. However, the warrant coverage would give the investor additional upside in the event that the company goes public or is sold at a price above $5 per share.
