Samsung TV and Computer input overscan
Are you plugging your computer into your Samsung UN46C6300? Are you getting overscan? This is not clearly documented in the manual for the Samsung UN46C6300 but if you set the input label to "PC" then the Samsung TV will no longer overscan that input.
I imagine this is the case for several other models of Samsung TVs.

Binding to an Active Directory Domain with Mac OS X 10.7.3 - Lion
Here are the settings that have worked at Lewis & Clark College. There is one minor issue that will be addressed at the end.
Settings in Directory Utility
*Do everything shown below BEFORE binding to the domain.
User Experience Tab:
Mappings:
With 10.5 and 10.6 I provided UID and GID attributes. This caused nothing but grief with 10.7. I don't need the attributes at this time so they can be ignored. I imagine this might become an issue should we ever entertain roaming profiles.
Administrative:
If you want everyone logging on to the computer to be in the Administrator group, click the "+" icon and add domain users. At Lewis & Clark College, it is usually no issue to have users (Staff and Faculty) be Administrators of their own workstations.
With 10.5 and 10.6, after binding to the domain, the domain would be automatically added to the front of the groups listed, ie LCLARK\domain users. However, with 10.7 this does not happen and does not seem to be of any concern.
Bind to Your Domain
**Be sure that the computer ID does not already exist in the Domain. I've found a lot of problems are due to the fact that a computer ID already exists. Sometimes you can overwrite but it's just easier to have it not be there in the first place. Talk to your AD administrator for more information.
Reboot. Watch for the red dot to go away. It takes anywhere from 5 - 15 seconds at my location. Once you have created a mobile account, you can log in while that red dot is still there however you will not be a local administrator, per the settings above.
Here's my minor issue:
The local administrator account we use on the Macs here is, cleverly, called Administrator. There is also an Active Directory account with an equally clever name of Administrator. Sometimes Lion, even though it authenticates local accounts before Domain accounts, will grab the AD information for Administrator. Lion gets very confused and loads a generic profile, almost like the Root profile. The user has no privileges and most programs will not launch. If you check the group associations, the account is attributed to several Domain groups. The only way to get out of this purgatory is to reboot. My work around has been to create a local Administrator with a different name, one that does not exist on the Domain.

Bissell ProHeat 2X 9200 Carpet Cleaner Fix
Is your Bissell ProHeat 2X carpet cleaner not dispensing fluids out the bottom like you would expect? Fluid still comes out the attachment hose?
Check the spray nozzles, they're probably clogged.
Remove the main water tank. You'll note two red plastic bits, the tops of the spray nozzles.
They are held in place with some clips built into the nozzle head. Pinch the clips together, futz a bit and the nozzle will pop right up.
Grab some pliers, carefully squeeze the metal clips holding the hose to the nozzle. Slide the clip down. Pull the nozzle from the fluid tube, might be a bit difficult.
Now, look inside the nozzle. You'll probably see some debris within. Blow out the nozzle. Each of mine had a plug of, presumably, dried detergent embedded in the nozzle.
Flush the lines. With the nozzles still off, put the water tank in place. Turn on the machine and wait a few seconds. Remove the tank and drape a towel under each dispensing tube. Squeeze the handle trigger to release fluid. Be careful not to burn yourself or get fluid all over. There were also some funky bits of black stuff in my lines. Keep flushing until the liquid runs clean.
Reattach the nozzles to the tubes. I needed an assistant for this part. Put everything back together and go nuts on your carpets.

Mission
Occasionally I search for something, usually how to do something, any relevant information is disjointed at best. This blog will contain anything that was far too difficult for me to find, discover or learn on the Internets. Expect it to be random. Expect posts to be few and between. Expect to be entertained and educated.
