write a while loop that prompts user to enter name
add their names to an array
if they enter "exit" end the prompting
this is what i got so far. sooo confused becausei cant get the user input into an array
var names = new Array();var loopCounter;loopCounter = 0;
while (x != "exit"){ var names[loopCounter] = prompt("enter name","");
var i;
for (i=0;i<names.length;i++){ document.write(names[i] + "
");}
Using === instead of ==, and !== instead of != are the preferred comparisons to use in JavaScript. They help to avoid problems where the loose comparison operators match with unexpected terms.
You can use a one-and-a-half loop.
while (true) {
myResponse = prompt("What's your favorite Lord of the Rings Character?\
\\rtype 'exit' to leave prompting","");
if (myResponse === "exit") {
names[loopCounter] = myResponse;
Or, you could use a different type of loop construct:
myResponse = '';
do {
if (myResponse > '') {
names[loopCounter] = myResponse;
myResponse = prompt("What's your favorite Lord of the Rings Character?\
\\rtype 'exit' to leave prompting","");
} while (myResponse !== 'exit');
ok i figured most of it out now but now im wondering how do i ignore data or keep information someone has entered from entering the array.
it works now but when the user types "exit". it goes into the array. i don't want it to enter the array just exit the prompting. sorry for the dumb question, im taking this class online and theres is no examples of anything like this

Sure, we all love big screens, but sometimes the trade-off between functionality and portability becomes too big. For many consumers out there, a 5-inch display is unnecessarily big, and a handset with a 5" display is simply too big. So, what are those customers supposed to purchase, if they want a snappy Android phone? Unfortunately, most of the middle-class Androids out there can't offer the necessary level of polish, or enough features in order to be appealing in the eyes of the demanding user. That's where the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini comes in. Not that it's necessarily a monster phone like the Galaxy S4, in terms of specs, but it does seem to pack quite a punch.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini retains an almost identical appearance to that of the Galaxy S4. It's made of the same plastic material, and even sports the same exact dotted pattern, which gives it a somewhat more interesting look. It's a glossy, non-slippery type of plastic, which we definitely like, though it does feel a bit cheap compared to glass or metal.
Samsung has bumped the screen size from 4" in the S III mini, to 4.3" in the S4 mini. It's an appreciated size increase, while the handset is still very easy to hold and operate with one hand only. Resolution is qHD, which means 540 x 960 pixels. It might be a bit disappointing for some that it's not HD 720p, but with a pixel density of 256 ppi, things are still pretty easy to read on the display. There might be some small jaggedness here or there, but it's nothing that could hamper the experience of using the phone.
In terms of OS, what you'll find on the Galaxy S4 mini is Android 4.2.2, so it'll be perfectly up-to-date right out of the box. Naturally, there's also Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX, instead of the stock Android UI, along with the full suite of proprietary services, such as S Voice, S Health, S Memo, S Planner, Samsung Hub, Samsung Apps and so on. Samsung-made features such as Smart View, Air View and S Beam are also on board.
So, let's stop here for now, because we'll first have to spend some quality time with the phone before we can say anything with regards to the user experience itself. Stay tuned for our Samsung Galaxy S4 mini review!

Retail performance has a lot to do with the weather. Recent profit warnings by
The May federal budget hit consumer confidence unequally, with Coalition voters taking less of a knock than consumers in Labor-voting areas. Deutsche Bank analysts
The headline is that CFS Retail Property Trust Group and GPT Group have the most exposure to ALP voters, going by ownership-weighted sales.
"Post the release of the federal budget in May, there has been a sharp decline in consumer sentiment," Mr Randall and Mr Weate say. "There has traditionally been a relatively strong (lagged) relationship between consumer confidence and consumer spending, as would be expected.
"The decline in consumer sentiment has been heavily concentrated amongst non-Coalition voters, with sentiment amongst ALP voters (on a 'trend' basis) now at its lowest level since at least April 2001. By contrast, sentiment amongst Coalition voters has remained fairly resilient after the budget."
On that score, the exposure of the local portfolio of
Shopping centre catchment areas often encompass several electorates, rather than just the one in which a mall may be located. In addition, current electorates represent voting patterns at the last election and are not necessarily an indicator of future voting. Some consumers who previously voted for the Coalition but believe that they have been negatively impacted by the budget may no longer be regard themselves as Coalition voters, Mr Randall and Mr Weate say.
Divining fortunes of the REITs
But it is a way to anticipate the diverging fortunes of the country's REITs, they argue.
"Our analysis at least provides a useful starting point in assessing exposures, and [we] view GPT and CFS Retail Property Trust Group as being most at risk from negative sentiment amongst ALP voters, in particularly given the relatively high weighting of both portfolios towards discretionary retail categories," they say. Those weightings are clear. GPT has the largest single exposure to Labor voters, with 57.2 per cent of its sales being in ALP-voting electorates. CFS Retail Property Trust is next, with about 50.2 per cent. At the other end of the scale, Stockland has the lowest exposure to ALP-voting electorates, with just 29.7 per cent of sales in those areas. The Westfield interests had the second-lowest exposure at 34.2 per cent.
But does such analysis cut it? JPMorgan analyst
"Consumer confidence is important," Mr Jones says. "I'm not sure if it's as easy as drawing a map of which [party] is in control in which electorate."
Individual issues, notably competition, play more of a role in the performance of individual mass assets, he says.
"If you've got a dominant mall in a low socio-economic area, that will still perform strongly in a downturn in consumer confidence, whereas on the flipside, a high-end centre can be negatively affected because it's got a high exposure to discretionary sales."
And there are other factors. Mr Jones and colleague
But Mr Randall sticks with his view that REITs with a greater exposure to Coalition-held electorates are less at risk in the post-budget climate. Westfield is benefiting from larger centres at Bondi Junction, Carindale outside Brisbane and Doncaster in Melbourne's east. All of them are in "blue" areas. And last week he raised his rating on Federation Centres to "buy" from "hold", and the price target to $2.60 from $2.45, citing its superior growth characteristics after a time of underperformance. More than half of its weighted sales are in Coalition-voting electorates.

("AT&T"). Under the terms of the transaction, DIRECTV shareholders will receive $28.50 in cash and 1.905 shares of AT&T common stock for each share of DIRECTV stock they own, representing a value of approximately $95.00 per share. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst following DIRECTV has set a target price of $100 per share. The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether AT&T is underpaying for DIRECTV shares.

Original image on the left, vectorized on the right
Have you ever had a photo that you wish you could blow up to a much larger size? Doing something like that would require a vector image, which is a graphic format that has no size limitation. You're in luck because there is a new service in town, called VectorMagic, that will take your regular images and do its best to convert it into a vector graphic. The conversion process is normally rather quick, and it only asks you a few questions such as:
- What type of image are you uploading? Is it a photograph, anti-aliased logo, or a non anti-aliased logo?
- What is the quality of the image? Is it sharp or blurry?
- Are there less than 12 colors in the original image, or are there more than that?
After it's done you'll be able to download the vector image in a variety of lossless formats including PNG, SVG, and EPS.
One thing that I've noticed is that starting with a higher quality images will result in pretty good conversions. I intentionally made the Firefox logo above low quality to start with so that I could see what the end result would be. The vectorized Firefox logo was a bit choppy, but it almost looks like artwork to me. When I bumped up the quality of the logo the result was much better, but it obviously has a hard time with shading:
Original image on the left, vectorized on the right
Tip: The bigger and more detailed the images are the more time it will take to process. If you just want to play with this real quick try shrinking down some of your images otherwise you might be waiting for a few minutes to see the results.

The following is a selection of readers responses to their perspectives.
The understanding these women show sends a message of hope and confidence - that the women of Pakistan can sort this mess out for themselves.
The majority of customary laws and practices stem from fabricated sayings which the Prophet Muhammad never in fact made. The women of Pakistan have the support of Muslim men in the east and in the west. They just have to find the will to take on the fight. Thanks to them, I can see light. Naved Siddiqi, Slough, England
I don't know what all the fuss is about. I think there are more rape cases in USA per hour than in Pakistan, even if you take into account the non-reported cases. Pakistan is a society that has always put religion first and in Islam the punishment of rape is very ferocious and Islam's teaching on sexual conduct is very clear. The main problem in Pakistan regarding rape is poor laws and even poorer law enforcement methods. But still in spite of all these poor laws the problem is not as bad as is projected by the NGO's which are just working for their own financial and political gains.Humayun, Islamabad, Pakistan.
For those who say that only women are affected, under the "Hudood" laws both males and females who have extra-marital sex must be punished. Javed, pakistan
Hudood and Blasphemy laws should be repealed because innocent people are arrested and sent to jail under these laws. Also, Pakistani women are doing great in many areas! But the media chooses to focus on certain aspects only. After all Pakistani women are flying fighter planes, they are very active in politics, they are also very active in all fields related to the Pakistani economy.Fawwad Shafi, Lahore, Pakistan
I have gone through all the articles which I think is very good effort in identifying the difficulties in implementation of Hudood Ordinance and interpretation of this ordinance. In fact it all depends upon the those high up to implement rules in the country. Normal citizens cannot be benefit from such moves till such time as the governing authorities of the country are not sincere with themselves and with the country.Farooz Ahmed, LAHORE-PAKISTAN
Being a Muslim and a Pakistani male, I feel great sorrow for women who are raped. Regarding Hudood ordinance it is the negligence of government and society that such laws still exists. If we consider this law to be an Islamic law, I have to totally disagree. Islamic laws, which give the right of khula to a Muslim women and the witness of a women to be considered enough in divorce cases can never support such brutalism. Shiraz Ali shah, Karachi Pakistan
Yes, rape is an issue in Pakistan. But not more than anywhere else in the world. The issue should be tackled from the inside. Just like when you have problems in the relationship, you don't get the neighbours in to solve them. The anguish of these women must be taken seriously, yet it must not become a reason to defame Pakistan everywhere. The first step would be the end of the Hudood Laws and the death penalty for rapists-without pardon!Ruhina Hashmi, Abu Dhabi, UAE
I would like to comment that Ms Zunaira Mahfooz is hundred percent right on her perspectives and that is truly happening here i know people who are mis-using the NGOs names and taking funds in the name of woman who are victims in other cases non other then the well known fathers of the churches are doing it, no problem in disclosing their names and what they have done and still doing it. So how does this happen? and still happening? Does the NGOs provide funds blindly to the concerned?Zohaib Rauf, Karachi, Pakistan
Your article is filled with some clearly erroneous allegations. In Islamic law, rape is not classified as adultery, and therefore does not require four witnesses to prove the offence. Circumstantial evidence and expert testimony, then, presumably from the evidence used to prosecute such crimes. In addition to eyewitness testimony, medical data and expert testimony, a modern prosecution of rape would likely take advantage of modern technological advances such as forensic and DNA testing. Naeem Ahmed Patel, London
As a police officer I have investigated hundreds of rape cases. The problem in Pakistan is not the Hudood laws, it is the implementation of these laws. It is ridiculous that a woman needs four pious witnesses for prosecution. That is only to enforce Hudd, the Tazir punishment is valid even if there are no witnesses. The forensic assistance is not available to the police. Conducting a simple test rape cases can be proved. The problem is over-reliance on witnesses in our criminal investigations. Police should be equipped and trained to investigate the rape cases. In Pakistan there is no rule of law. Even if you repeal the Hudood laws, other laws will be flouted with the same intensity and frequency. Any move to repeal the laws will only create more tension in an already fragmented and divided society. My suggestion is plug the loop holes and try to bring some consistency and integrity in the criminal justice and judicial system Tariq Abbas, Lahore
Rape problem is far less real than hyped in media. I agree with Miss Zunaira Mehfooz that too much focus is given to it by NGO's. There are around 10000 cases reported in Pakistan. compare. In 1999 alone USA had 89,110 recorded rapes. Pakistani NGO's should first make noise about poor American women.A Ghazi, Lahore, Pakistan
I am appalled and shocked to read the accusations of Zunaira Mehfooz towards the NGO sector in Pakistan. Firstly, by stating that all NGO's are run by the rich and receive foreign funding is a baseless assumption, with no supporting statistical data. From the thousands of NGO's that work towards safeguarding the rights of Pakistani men and women some are funded locally and some by foreign agencies. and in addition, why label the NGO's as attention-grabbing media hunters, when there already exist enough foreign donors looking for alternatives to supporting government programs that they perceive to be inefficient or corrupt>Nida Butt, Karachi, Pakistan
I am rather surprised that the laws in Pakistan are being called "Islamic Laws". Though i totally agree that these laws are required to be changed because they are always misused but in no way these have anything to do with Islam. A dictator (Zia-ul-Haq) amended the laws to fool the people in the name of Islam. Fraz, Cary, NC
While I agree with Robina that media coverage of the rape incidents in Pakistan may give the international community an inaccurate picture, I do not think that the attention here should be directed toward criticising the media. Oftentimes, it is pressure created by media exposure that changed unjust laws such as those in Pakistan. Just because the crime does not occur as often as the media makes it seem, that does not mean it should be brushed aside as "western propaganda". Sonia ! K. Saini, Davis, CA
I am surprised to hear Pakistani women downplaying the issue of rape in Pakistan. Yes, of course rape happens in other countries; but in most countries there is a legal system that at least attempts to support and protect the victims. Yes, Pakistan has to solve it's own problems, but I believe the international community has a moral obligation to apply pressure on the government to make the necessary changes. Rape may not actually be the biggest issue, but if it is the emotive buzzword that motivates people to action to improve women's rights in Pakistan, then I think it is justified to highlight it.Richard, Dubai, UAE
I just want to say that with respect to Hudood laws it is better to have insight rather than jumping to conclusion that they apply only to women. Those laws are not women only and apply to men as well. I am sad to see that these laws are highlighted as women only laws, which is not the case.Rizwan Shaik, Karachi, Pakistan
I regularly visit the BBC site for information from around the globe and came across this article. To be very honest, rape or sexual violations coming into the lime light recently does not mean that these things have increased now in Pakistan. The fact is that the ratio has been the same even in the past. The difference is that now there is a growing awareness in the country about this issue. Most of the views given in the article about Hudood laws are absolutely right. Most of the laws in the country are against women and their rights. Primarily there is not a proper channel through which a woman can report the injustice done to her. What needs to be done is increase the awareness against such laws which in the guise of Islamic laws are encouraging the evil element of the society and any such laws are totally against the real spirit of Islam since Islam is the only religion giving maximum protection to women and valuing them like an individual human beings. In the end I would like to thank all those brave ladies working for raising awareness against such cruel laws and the BBC Team for recognizing the efforts. Regards.Hina, Peshawar, Pakistan
I strongly disagree with the remarks made by Zunaira Mehfooz. Rape victims like Mukthar Mai, and others, would have received no justice, and their cases would have swept into oblivion had not the world been informed. The truth is, as much as I respect the current Pakistani regime and its ideals, deep-rooted cultural and social injustices have hardly ever been a concern of military governments. Raza Siddiqui, Toronto, Canada
Many of these views are nothing more than an attempt to improve Pakistan's image. The President of Pakistan has shown the world how insensitive he is towards rape by suggesting Pakistani women get raped for monetary gain. Many of those interviewed seem to do just that: put the Pakistani state ahead of their women. Shame!Arun Patel, San Jose, USA

Hard drives are absolutely enormous these days with capacities reaching the terabyte mark, but with all of this storage we often forget to go cleanup unused files. Why's that a big deal if you have virtually "unlimited" storage? The more files you have on your computer, the longer it will take to do a lot of things. It means more items that your antivirus software will have to scan, and it can even slow down your entire computer.
Here's a good analogy as to why you should keep your computer clean. You inevitably have a path to get from your couch to the bathroom, and hopefully that path is free from obstacles. What if you started to buy all kinds of stuff and out of disparity for space you place it in that path. By placing the items there you managed to keep the patch from the couch to the kitchen squeaky clean. That's great, but now it takes you longer to get to the bathroom since you have to go around a bunch of stuff. Even if you try to move things around to optimize all the paths, which is equivalent to defragmenting your computer, you would still have to find a place for all of that junk.
That's how I explain the point behind defragmenting a hard drive, and I think it serves as a good learning tool here as well. The moral of the story is that you can try and optimize your hard drive all you want, but if you have a lot of unnecessary junk on it, there will be side affects.
So how can you remove the junk? First you have to find it, and MetaMan over in our forum found a great tool for doing just that. It's called WinDirStat and it is open source (free) software that will point out where all of your space-hogging files are at. It works on almost every version of Windows (even Vista although it's not stated) and takes just a second to install.
After you get it up and running you should see a screen similar to the one above. It shows horizontal "progress" bars that represent how much storage each area on your hard drive is taking up. The little Pacman characters will continue to go back and forth until WinDirStat is completely finished scanning your drive for information. When it's all done this is what you should see:
Now the real fun begins. There are a bunch of color-coded blocks at the bottom of the screen, and I want to explain how those work. That is referred to as a treemap which is a common tool used for graphing data. It almost looks like some freaky piece of art, but in reality it is a graphical map of your hard drive where each block represents a single file. The key in the upper-right corner of the screen details what filetype each block represents.
There is a reason behind the ordering of the blocks on the treemap even though it may seem random. They are actually grouped by folders, and if I click on the Program Files folder WinDirStat will outline the block of files on the treemap with a white border:
As you can see, the Program Files area on my computer only takes up a small portion of the room. Now I'll go ahead and click on a sub-folder in the Program Files…let's do Microsoft Games:
As you can see WinDirStat continues to maintain my drive's folder structure even on the treemap. I can go all the way down and select a file which will still be highlighted accordingly:
This process also works in reverse, which makes the treemap even more useful. If you see a big block on the map, such as the big red ones on the right side of my drive, you can actually hover you mouse over the block and in the Status Bar it will tell you the corresponding file:
As you can see, one of the big red blocks is my computer's hibernation file, which is always equal to the amount of RAM that is installed. Therefore it makes sense that it is one of the largest things on my drive. If I wanted to see more information I could just click on the block, and it would immediately navigate to that file in the folder list located above the treemap.
MetaMan mentioned in his post that he was able to cut 25GB of temporary and log files from his computer using this tool. I'm sure that combining this with CCleaner (our review) you can trim a lot of fat from your hard drive, and you may even see a boost in performance as a direct result.

Pot of Gold Cocktail
Skip the green cocktails this year and embrace the gold trend by adding golden cocktails to your party menu.
Skip the green cocktails this year and embrace the gold trend by adding golden cocktails to your party menu.
I love blending Irish Whiskey cocktails this time of year; Not only are they golden in color, but they also offer a gentle heat that blends well with any number of mixers and citrus juices.
This Pot of Gold Cocktail is made all the more golden by blending ginger ale and Whiskey together, and then true to its name, accented with gold sugar glitter to give it a golden focal point. Served in a Brandy glass to offer the illusion of being a pot of gold, this crowd pleaser can be served in a large batch, or as a single cocktail.
- 1 ounce of Whiskey
- 4 ounces of Ginger ale
- Orange Twist
- Gold Sugar Glitter
- Slice of orange
In a chilled glass, run the orange slice along the rim of the glass and then gently rim the glass with gold sugar glitter.
Add the Whiskey, and then top with the Ginger Ale.
Garnish with an orange rind twist.

DETROIT - Detroit Mayor Dave Bing met with City Council for the first time in months on Monday.
Bing's first order of business was to reach out to the City Council and ask them to join him in an effort to approve the reform agenda in the city.
"Since I took office our city has been under financial stress," said Mayor Bing. "We must embrace reform."
Bing laid out six items he hopes Council members will work with him to approve. The items addressed issues of public safety, transportation, lighting and financial stability in the city.
"Today I ask you to join with me in a unified effort to make Detroit a great city," said Bing.
The creation of a public lighting authority was an issue council debated extensively during the meeting.
Representatives from the state were also in attendance.
Officials said the state is willing to cover some of the cost for reform in the city and expressed frustration over the lack of urgency in moving reform forward.
Both the Mayor and council members spoke of a wiliness to move past finger pointing and arguing for the greater good of the city.
"I love the new olive branch, I receive it," said City Council President Charles Pugh. "We are just as frustrated as you are."
Bing hasn't addressed council since the failed attempt to remove Krystal Crittendon in June.
"We need to be partners in this," said Bing. "I think they have come to the table to do this. I think all of us want the same thing. We need to affect change instead of talking about it," the mayor said.

I've setup a configuration with user 1 / admin role and it works just fine, switch back included.
However when I put the exact same configuration for a moderator role, the masquerade block just doesn't appear, and this:
- By checking the appropriate roles in the Masquarade admin UI
- By checking the appropriate roles in the bloc configuration
- And even if I give the role all the permissions related to Masquerade.
I can't see what I'm doing wrong, any help/hint would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

did you set the permissions for the users? there are two places on in admin/people/masquerade and admin/people/permissions. it seems confusing to have it in two areas.

Banks, financiers and economists around the world greeted with unabashed excitement the release today of the long-awaited research paper by two hugely influential Australian academics into the dangers of fiscal "rebalancing" in an era of supposed austerity.
Entitled This Time It's Over, the ground-breaking paper is already being hailed as a masterpiece, and its authors, professors Gillhart and Swanoff, are being lauded as two of the greatest financial visionaries of our age.
Their work explodes the doctrine of "mindless prosperity", which the authors describe as the pointless quest by individuals working outside the public sector to generate wealth of their own accord.
Built upon the work of several obscure and hitherto unrecognised economic thinkers of the 20th century such as Germany's Professor Weimar von Wheel-Barrow and the American folk-singer Idaho Dustbowl, the brilliant new theory explains how governments can repay spiralling debts through the simple but effective expedient of borrowing more money.
Speaking as the guest of honour at the Bruce Springsteen Foundation's annual financial think tank in Washington last week, Professor Swanoff lectured an enraptured crowd of European leaders and bureaucrats on the innovative design of his minerals resource rent tax, which was designed to raise as little money as possible. And succeeded spectacularly.
"Furthermore, Professor Gillhart and I have demonstrated through extensive experimentation with a complex working model we call 'the Australian economy' that it is impossible to pay off your debts if you don't actually have any money. So why bother?
"In any advanced economy, the choice these days is between printing more money on the one hand, or on the other, simply pretending you've printed more money."
In their seminal work, Gillhart and Swanoff explain through the use of pie charts and column graphs how soaring public debt can lead to soaring political confidence by generating soaring promises leading to a soaring sense of entitlement.
Their conclusion is that "growth" – which the pair define as "a debt that keeps on growing" – is the only means to resolve the perennial problem of how to pay for commitments you can't afford.
Nor do they rule out two-way causality. "Sometimes making promises you can't afford allows you to grow your debt, other times growing your debt allows you to make promises you can't afford," they claim. Speaking against the backdrop of a large poster of a sweaty man clutching a guitar with a handkerchief hanging out of his pocket, Professor Swanoff drew attention to the outmoded concept of living within your means.
"They're just four random words, dude. How can you live within a 'means'? What is a 'means'? And why is it 'your' means? Why isn't it somebody else's? 'Living within your means' should mean living by whatever means we want it to mean. That's what 'means' means."
NSW Premier
"After all these years of strict abstinence, I suddenly realised I can eat whatever I want!" he excitedly told reporters as he loosened his belt and undid the top button of his trousers over a large meal at popular Canberra "eat-as-much-as-you-want" eatery Gastro Gonski's.
Critics, such as Australia's opposition leader Tony Luddite – dismissed by Professor Gillhart as an 'economic cretin' – struggled to grasp the intellectual significance of the new theories. To see the enormous influence Gillhart and Swanoff have had on the European debate, it is worth quoting from last year's speech by Olli Outofcash, the European Commission's economic chief, to the Council of Indebted Nations: "Gillhart and Swanoff have coined the '90 per cent rule'," he said. "That is, 90 per cent of what a given government says they own, somebody else actually owns. The Chinese, normally."
Other converts to the ground-breaking theories include many of the world's top finance ministers, foremost among them Australia's highly respected Wayne Goose.
"To cut to the bone – as our political opponents advocate – would drive our economy back into the black and mean people would no longer feel entitled to our, I mean their, entitlements," he said. "Why would we do that?"
Professors Gillhart and Swanoff are rumoured shortly to both be taking an extended sabbatical.

I was looking through some of my info for the glory cruise. I know they offer prepaid tipping, I was wondering if this was a good idea. Would the crew know that I prepaid their tips. Would it be better to tip on my own at the end of the cruise? I just want to make sure they actually receive the tips but don't want to worry about budgeting for it at the end. What is best?
Pre-paid tips are paid with your cruise payment and everythings taken care of before you leave home. You can't remove pre-paid tips. If you don't pre-pay your tips then Carnival will automatically apply the tips to your on board account. Those can be adjusted or removed. The crew will receive a list with names of anyone that pre-paid tips or used the on board account method.

Defensive zone lapses lead to Rangers' OT win
Derick Brassard got his first career playoff overtime goal. He was robbed of the chance to celebrate it appropriately.
Brassard ultimately was credited with the winner but only after fellow Rangers forward Benoit Pouliot also beat Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury seven seconds later. The NHL situation room quickly announced Brassard's goal counted, but the result remained the same: New York beat the Penguins, 3-2, in Game 1 of the teams' second-round series Friday night.
"I'm just happy that we win this game," Brassard said in the locker room after his third career playoff goal. "It's obviously huge when you win the first game."
The Rangers so wanted the series opening game that they scored the winner twice.
New York was dominating possession and zone time during its fourth shift of overtime — although the final seven seconds of it were erased from the books once the league credited Brassard with his first goal of the playoffs at 3:07.
Alone in the slot, Brassard flipped a wrist shot from just outside the crease over the stick of a diving Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo and the right shoulder of Fleury.
The puck was still rising as it passed just under the crossbar. It hit the inside of the top of the net and deflected back into play.
Brassard raised his arms as if he'd scored, but ...
"The ref said it wasn't in," he said.
"Didn't hear a whistle," said Pouliot, who had the game's first goal. "The way the puck came out, I had no clue. I was right beside the net, and I still had no clue. You just have to keep going."
The Penguins appeared disorganized to the point that the Rangers' chances kept coming. Pouliot eventually beat Fleury. This time, the officials acknowledged it, the red light went on and Pouliot celebrated.
"I found out later that Brass got the goal," Pouliot said.
"Brassard got it?" New York center Brad Richards answered to a question from the media. "I didn't know that. Good for Brass."
Even if Pouliot didn't put one in for good measure, eventually the winner would have been awarded to Brassard at the next stoppage when video review would have been used.
That would have left much of the ensuing chaos moot. But it doesn't make the final shift of the game any less inexcusable for the Penguins.
"It was kind of a scramble," said captain Sidney Crosby, who was a minus-3.
"Just big pile of guys," Fleury said, "and I was trying to find the puck out of it."
The winning goal wasn't the only one by the Rangers that was aided by sloppy play by the Penguins in their own end. Richards made it 2-0 late in the first period by taking advantage of a blown assignment and some shaky coverage.
Carl Hagelin made Olli Maata look foolish by taking a puck off of him after Maatta had beat him to a loose puck deep in the Penguins' zone. Matt Niskanen abandoned his position to support Maata, but by then Hagelin had clear possession and was passing to a wide-open Richards just inside the left-wing circle.
With no Penguins player near him — Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were mere spectators — Richards had time to turn and get the puck to his forehand before depositing it behind a lunging Fleury.
