Outstanding 4.8 /5 from 18 reviews
What a treasure to find this rental! Any of the well-equipped suites in the manor would be lovely choices. The apartments are clean, comfortable and have everything you need. Service is friendly and the neighborhood is very walkable. I r commend this for business or pleasure.
Alma Beach Suites was located conveniently next to bus stops, markets, and great restaurants. The room was charming and I love that the kitchen was available for cooking. There were snacks, juice, and freshly baked bread on the house! I wish there was some sort of concierge service or someone to talk to when I needed help around the city. It would have been helpful if we had cleaning service more than once in seven days. We would have liked more towels during our stay. I also wish there was air conditioning. (It was hot!)
Overall,very pleased with this choice. Everything was clean, comfortable, and met our needs well. Nice neighborhood within walking distance to parks which had gorgeous views of the bay and downtown Vancouver. Also it was just around the corner to shops and restaurants. It was like having your own little apartment away from home.
Our stay was fantastic. The room was so nice and we really enjoyed the convenience of the kitchen.Comfy bed, cozy fireplace and everything was very clean. Close to buses and the ocean. Loved the neighbourhood and had a great time exploring the shops and restaurants nearby. The welcome basket with bread, cookies etc was such a sweet touch. I will definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Vancouver!
Had a great and comfortable stay. Will recommend this property to friends.

Krista Janos
Unabashedly Southern and sentimental to the core
With an ever-growing inventory, hand-selected and sourced throughout the country, she'll bargain, haggle and swap stories with the best of 'em. Krista loves nothing more than plundering through old warehouses or early morning estate sales dreaming of ways to breathe new life into an antique or incorporating it into her extensive rental collection.
An old soul with a penchant for sentimental details, Krista's love of antiques comes as no surprise. Born to a large family of collectors, she grew up on the hot pavement of flea markets across the South. This experience not only taught her to cherish antiques, but sparked in her an appreciation for the often untold story that each piece holds. She enjoys looking at each piece and imagining the people that once owned it, what they must have been like, where they might have lived.
As a way of sharing her passion for collecting with others, Krista also offers antique sourcing and curated antiquing retreats where attendees shop hand-in-hand with her as she shares insider tips of antique + prop shopping.
Krista's work has been featured in a variety of magazines and sites such as Southern Weddings Magazine, Cottage Hill, Magnolia Rouge, Utterly Engaged, Trouvé, Weddings Unveiled, Martha Stewart's Bride's Guide, Once Wed, Snippet and Ink, Style Me Pretty, 100 Layer Cake, Grey Likes Weddings, among others.
Krista is also available for speaking engagements, teaching opportunities, workshops or other projects involving antique + prop sourcing, styling or set design.
Chris Janos
Meticulous by nature with a penchant for history
Chris works behind-the-scenes helping Blue Eyed Yonder grow by bringing new services to the company such as custom-built furniture, backdrops and installations for photo shoots and weddings. He also knows his way around an upholstery project.
When searching for new pieces, Chris is most interested in the mechanics or history of the piece. In most cases, he begins his research even before the item is purchased. From small adding machines to large gas stoves, he enjoys seeing how each piece was made and often catches himself smiling at the extreme craftsmanship and handiwork that was involved. He enjoys dissecting and tinkering with each piece to figure out just how it works, what it was used for, and where it was made.
With his passion for history and interest in preservation, Chris works to research and restore unique pieces from our past so others can share in their history.
Dottie Mae
Party Animal / Senior Advisor
Our beloved Dottie Mae has quickly become the team mascot at Blue Eyed Yonder. A high-energy Austrailian Shepard mix, she loves exploring flea markets and riding along for rental deliveries. From an early age, sweet Dottie Mae has also shared a love of vintage – she was actually found as a pup at a local flea market and was given the name "Dottie" by a group of adorable elderly ladies in another antique store later that day. She's always by our side, provides us with many laughs and fills our hearts with joy.

One of China's top power officials wants to build a global power grid connecting solar farms in the Middle East and wind turbines in the Arctic to countries around the world. What might sound like the stuff of science fiction, State Grid Corporation of China Chairman Zhenya Liu said could be developed by mid-century. The foundation of the ocean-crossing grid would be an ultra high voltage power line developed by his company, along with engineering giants ABB and Siemens, which he said would make the delivery of electricity across such vast distances feasible.
Wind turbines in the Arctic? Not so crazy, China says
Iowa gets 31% of electricity from wind
owa increased the percentage of electricity it received from wind last year, climbing to over 30 percent. But state and national leaders said the state could push its renewable energy portfolio higher. "With potential to jump above 40 percent in the next five years, we are committed to building an even greener Iowa future that will provide our Iowa families with cleaner, renewable energy and job opportunities," Gov. Terry Branstad said in a statement.
U.S. Takes No. 1 Spot In Wind Production; Iowa Reaches Milestone
"We are proud of Iowa's leadership in wind energy," says Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, who also serves as chairman of the Governors' Wind and Solar Energy Coalition. "We've seen exponential growth in wind energy, and the data released today reinforces what we've been seeing in every corner of our state. With potential to jump above 40 percent in the next five years, we are committed to building an even greener Iowa future that will provide our Iowa families with cleaner, renewable energy and job opportunities."
Slew of committees to scrutinize Moniz's spending, research plans
DOE's $32.5 billion request includes a 21 percent rise in clean energy research and development, including a large increase for programs like the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), which supports cutting-edge technologies outside the reach of the private sector. Other big winners under the proposal include sustainable transportation, renewable energy and energy efficiency programs, which would all receive at least a 27 percent increase over last year's level. The administration is hoping that key appropriators like Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) — a historical supporter of R&D — will help make some of the funding requests a reality.
Senate energy bill, Flint aid could resurface
Senate Energy Committee ranking member Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) said that Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) was also withholding consent, but his office has not responded to requests for comment. The office of Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on Friday confirmed he had a hold on the energy bill — which he opposed in committee — but declined to comment on whether the objections extended to the Flint deal. Lawmakers plan to vote on that separately. Backers of moving forward with the long-stalled agenda are hoping to get an agreement to set up votes on the energy bill, about three-dozen amendments, and the Flint package.
Is Deepwater Wind's Block Island Project Worth The Cost To Ratepayers?
After years of effort, Deepwater Wind expects to complete the first offshore wind farm in the US later this year. Supporters say the project off the coast of Block Island is an important milestone that will bolster the growth of renewable energy. But debate continues about the cost of that energy for Rhode Island residents.
Ind. governor will comply if EPA rule survives
The Indiana governor's office yesterday said the state would prepare a compliance plan if U.S. EPA's rule limiting power plant carbon emissions is deemed legal. The comments came on the heels of an Indianapolis Star report saying the state would not develop a plan even if the disputed rule is upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. That is not the case, according to a state official. "If the courts ultimately uphold the Clean Power Plan, the governor absolutely prefers a state plan," Dan Schmidt, Indiana policy director for energy and environment, said in an email.
These states are setting wind energy records – and suing over Obama's climate plans
"I think it is part of a long transition that's taking place, where people are only now starting to realize what the resources are in their states, and how fast they actually can make the transition," said Rob Gramlich, senior vice president of government and public affairs at the American Wind Energy Association. "Wind is a new entrant in all of these places," Gramlich said. "Almost all of it has been developed in the last 10 years, it's relatively new, so, you know, and the utilities have been there for a hundred years or more, with their relationships with policymakers. That doesn't change in a few years when a new technology comes in and enters the market."
Washington yanks cap-and-trade proposal
The state of Washington withdrew a plan today that would have set the first-ever limits on carbon dioxide emissions from large facilities. In a news release, the Washington Department of Ecology said it would update the plan based on feedback. The agency said it would issue a new proposed rule in the spring. "We appreciate all the helpful and constructive feedback we have received from stakeholders," Sarah Rees, Ecology's special assistant on climate change policy, said in a statement. "We're listening and being responsive to the ideas on how to best move the rule forward."
Washington Considers Nation's First Carbon Emissions Tax
Washington could become the first state in the nation to impose a direct tax on carbon emissions from fossil fuels such as coal, gasoline and natural gas. A ballot measure before the state Legislature would create a carbon tax of $25 per metric ton of fossil fuel emissions burned in Washington, while reducing taxes. Lawmakers have until the end of the session on March 10 to enact Initiative 732, offer an alternative proposal or automatically pass the carbon-tax measure to voters in November as written. It's not clear whether lawmakers will approve an alternative by the end of the session.

craig_osu posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubHi there, I am having a few problems with my central locking and I was wondering whether any of you could help me resolve this problem. When I unlocked my car all doors unlocked except for the drivers doors. After I got home I tried to lock the car and the car wouldnt lock all the doors the drivers had to be locked from the inside to temporarily lock the other doors. Although now this is even tempremental and only works on occasions to suit itself. Im not sure how i can resolve this problem if any of you can help I would much appreciate some input. Or if any of you know a useful website link that may help me resolve this issue. I await your response. many thanks

In many texts charecteristic function is defined as a Fourier transform of probability density (if random variable admits a density function). Also we can define a charecteristic function as Fourier transform of probability measuer instead (like in Jacod J., Protter P. Probability essentials, second edition, page 104). Are these definitions equal? I'm a bit confused as not all random variables have probability density but probability measuer should always be defined.
Yes, they are the same. For a random variable which admits a density function $f$, its distribution measure $\mu$ is given by $\mu(A) = \int_A f dm$, or more compactly $d\mu = f dm$, where $m$ is Lebesgue measure. It is clear that in this case, the Fourier transform of $\mu$ is the same as the Fourier transform of $f$.

World War One at Home
Today, the BBC is launching a very special project across all local radio Stations called World War One at Home.
BBC Radio Leicester's Bridget Blair will be searching out local stories which will surprise, show the huge impact World war One had on us here at home, and remember those who gave their lives between 1914 and 1918.
But first, she's been to Ypres - a Belgian town which was destroyed during the First World War. The name became synonymous with destruction, trench warfare, and the slaughter of half a million soldiers nearby.
The sacrifice that so many British and Commonwealth soldiers made there is remembered every night at the Menin Gate Memorial at a very special ceremony

Tom Brady knows how to win the big one.
But, hey, you knew that already.
But what about Chad Pennington? And what about the Seahawks and Matt Hasselbeck, who clunked one against the Cardinals?
And what, in the name of Bill Walsh and the West Coast offense, is wrong with Michael Vick?
As always, it's QBs and nothing but QBs here at Snap Judgment.We start this week with some quick reads:
|Man or myth:
Kurt Warner
|Quarterbacking man, grocery-stocking myth.
|(resurrected) Man
|A Man no more
|Are Ravens a playoff team with Kyle Boller?
|Yes. But Baltimore might as well switch to a wishbone offense
|Yes, because Ray Lewis is at LB
|Yes, somehow
|Brees or Rivers?
|Brees this year. Rivers next year
|Brees, until he falters
|Brees is better now, but Brees is also a free agent. Answer: Rivers
|QB who does most with least skills:
|Right now, Kurt Warner
|Jeff Garcia. Though Matt Hasselbeck does the the most with the least hair
|Jeff Garcia
|Jeff Garcia
|QB who does least with most skills:
|Jon Kitna. Not his fault
|Ryan Leaf. Should be entering his prime
|Aaron Brooks
|Michael Vick
|Without Priest Holmes, Trent Green would be ...
|Trent Green with Derrick Blaylock
|Still not handing off to Larry Johnson
|Trent Green, backup quarterback
|Backing up Brett Favre
|Brady or Jeter?
|Hmmm. Who's won more championships the past four years?
|Brady. Hey, he's still playing, right?
|In terms of celebrity women? Brady
|Give Byron Leftwich a nickname
|Byron Leftwich-Way-But-Lose
|New Old School
|McNabb or Jaworski?
|Trick question? Ron's been to a Super Bowl, but McNabb is sooo much better
|Jaws. Can't get enough NFL Edge film breakdowns
|The one who works for ESPN
|Jaws, because he got to the Super Bowl
First down: After watching the Falcons put up only 10 points on the Chiefs' porous defense and their superstar QB go 7-for-21 for 119 yards with two INTs and four sacks, can we say that Mike Vick is ... gulp ... overrated? Or is Jim Mora Jr.'s West Coast Offense the problem? Or should Vick (six rushes, 62 yards) just be moved to running back?
Skip Bayless: Once again, Vick is mostly a video-game superhero creation. Once the Falcons fell behind at Kansas City, Vick looked clueless when reduced to a pocket passer. Yes, this has something to do with his new coordinator, Gregg "Take A" Knapp, whose only strength with the 49ers was being a good guy and best friend of Jimmy Mora, the defensive coordinator. (How, by the way, did Mora go from coaching one of the NFL's worst defenses to landing a head coaching job?) But as long as Vick remains a bolt-first quarterback with a powerful, but erratic arm, the Falcons will be hit and miss.
Patrick Hruby: Move Vick to running back? Great idea -- that is, so long as you're jonesing for the Matt Schaub Era to get under way. And if that's the case, well, recall that certain high-ranking government officials were slam-dunk sure that grateful Iraqis would greet American military forces with flowers and chocolates.
There's no overrating his talent, to be sure. Vick has the best arm and legs in football. As for his grasp of the game's chessboard aspects? Still a work in progress, particularly in a new offense that's quite unlike anything Vick has run before. Keep in mind: Virginia Tech rolled Vick out at every opportunity, basically cutting the field in half. And former Falcons coach Dan Reeves wasn't known for whiz-bang offensive game plans. So Vick has a learning curve ahead of him, and within an offensive philosophy that doesn't completely take advantage of his physical gifts, either. But give him a few seasons. He'll get it.
In the meantime, it doesn't help that Vick's two picks yesterday came on bobbled balls, or that the Falcons' defense gave up 36 first downs and EIGHT rushing touchdowns. West Coast master Joe Montana would have a hard time matching that.
Aaron Schatz: A wise man once said that you don't try to fit players into your system, you get players that already fit into your system, or you change your system. Clearly, Vick as "West Coast" quarterback looks like a bad casting choice along the lines of Tom Arnold and Mary-Kate Olsen in "CSI: Indianapolis."Why is Vick throwing twice on second- and third-and-goal from the 1-yard line instead of running? How is he spending so much time in the pocket that he gets sacked four times by the CHIEFS? Two years ago Vick basically dragged the Falcons into the playoffs on his own, so I don't think he's suddenly turned into Akili Smith. I say let Vick be Vick, accept the fact he's going to get hurt sometimes, and invest a little extra money in a very good medical staff and a backup you can trust.
Alan Grant: Well, this strictly reactionary format aside, my particular perspective will not allow me to assess any player's ability on just one game. Sunday, football's version of the human highlight film was less than ordinary. And next week, against Denver, and a mildly improving defense, Vick might once again struggle. But after a bye week, the Falcons take on Tampa Bay -- a unit which spells relief for any struggling offense. I think then, we shall not even entertain thoughts of him being overrated.
Second down: After watching the Jets-Pats contest, how far is Chad Pennington behind Tom Brady?
Patrick Hruby: Pete Sampras was once asked about the difference between him and one-time rival Pat Rafter. His reply? "About 10 Grand Slams." So there's my answer on Pennington-Brady: About two Super Bowls.
Skip Bayless: As we saw Sunday, Pennington isn't Brady because he still can't improvise and go to the more advantageous option with the game on the line. With two late chances to pull out the game, he locked onto his first option no matter how covered it was. Justin McCareins had to make a sensational play to break up an interception in the end zone. Surely somebody else was open, but Pennington pumped right and threw left no matter what the defense was doing.Then on the final fourth-down play, it appeared New England's defense knew where Pennington was going before he did -- down the seam to slot receiver Wayne Chrebet, who was triple-covered. That left Santana Moss alone in single coverage. Moss could have made a streak-ending play they'd have been talking about for decades.
Brady would have found him.
Aaron Schatz: I don't know if he has quite as much experience with the fourth-quarter comebacks, and he seemed to miss an open Santana Moss on the fourth down at the end of the game this week. But Pennington is a very good quarterback and he's good enough to lead the Jets to the playoffs. The main difference between the Patriots and Jets isn't Pennington and Brady, it's defense.
Jeff Merron: The short answer is, Pennington is far behind. But the good news for Jets fans like myself is that Pennington is one of the NFL's best QBs, he's getting better all the time, and he could lead the Jets to a Super Bowl victory. (That won't happen this year, unfortunately.)
The two seem to have many career parallels -- both in their fifth year; both about the same age, both playing under the more intense scrutiny of the Northeast media. But the advantage Brady has had is crystal clear: he's been playing for a better team all along. Eventually the Pats will regress to the mean, and the Jets will take a big run at the title. And then we'll all be talking about Pennington as MVP.
But let me make one thing perfectly clear: Brady is the best QB in the NFL and on his way to Canton. Pennington? Not.
I live in Boston, where nobody is even talking about the 6-0 Patriots because they're obsessed with the World Series. When the Sox fell behind 0-3 to the Yankees, it had me thinking of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles have never won a Super Bowl and have been to just one. Their last championship was in 1960, six years before the Super Bowl began. The only season they made the Super Bowl, 1980, they lost to an Oakland Raiders team that was the first wild-card entry to ever win and probably stands as the worst Super Bowl winner in history. Of course, they've made the NFC Championship Game for three straight seasons and lost each time.
And yet nobody ever talks about some ridiculous "Curse of Norm Van Brocklin." Some people, I guess, think Philly teams don't win because the city put up a statue to honor a fake athlete, Rocky Balboa, instead of a real one, but I'm not sure what that has to do with a football team. Philadelphia writers write about the Eagles need to do to win, not about some ridiculous curse that makes it impossible for football players to tackle DeShaun Foster. I think it's healthier for the fans and for the city.
With so much World Series on the brain, let's have some fun and have each quarterback connected to a player on the Red Sox or Cardinals. --Aaron Schatz, footballoutsiders.comClick here for Aaron's complete rankings for all the QBs. The QB rankings now include adjustments for the quality of defense faced. (DPAR = Defense-adjusted Points Above Replacement that each QB was responsible for; Peyton Manning tops Week 7 with a performance which was 17.4 points better than a replacement-level QB.)
|1. Peyton Manning
27/39, 368 yards
2 TDs, 0 INTs
|No other player combines so much natural talent with such a deep understanding of the game, and yet no matter how impressive his statistics he's got one team he just cannot beat. Since the Patriots are Peyton's daddy, that makes him Pedro Martinez.
|2. Joey Harrington
18/22, 230 yards
2 TDs, 0 INTs
|Filled with such promise when he entered the league, he's never quite put it together to be a star, much like former Minor League Player of the Year Gabe Kapler. A few more games like yesterday, though, and he gets raised to Trot Nixon status.
|3. Trent Green
20/27, 269 yards
0 TDs, 0 INTs
|How can he have such a high rating with no TDs? Easy, all his passing put Holmes and Blaylock in position to score. So, that makes him the setup man, just like Mike Timlin.
|25. Matt Hasselbeck
14/41, 195 yards
1 TD, 4 INTs
|Well, he's not Johnny Damon. He's had amazing numbers in the past but was abysmal Sunday, which also describes Cards' pitcher Matt Morris.
|26. Drew Bledsoe
20/36, 203 yards
0 TDs, 4 INTs
|Immobile. Just like Kevin Millar.
|27. Billy Volek
17/36, 190 yards
0 TDs, 3 INTs
|The last-minute replacement for another player who got injured. He's Al Reyes.
Third down: Two minutes left, score tied. How many QBs would you rather have under center than Byron Leftwich? Or is Leftwich the NFL's newest king of the two-minute drive? Who does he remind you of?
Patrick Hruby: I'll take Tom Brady, and ... hmmm. Good question. Fact is, Leftwich looks pretty darn good in late-game situations. Definitely better than a second-year QB should. He doesn't panic, doesn't rush, seems to know just how much calculated risk to take (two-minute drives are like the stock market, all about risk vs. reward). His teammates seem to believe in him. So I will, too. Brady is the reigning King, the seeming heir to Montana. Call Leftwich the Duke.
Aaron Schatz: Wait, didn't yesterday's drive start with about four minutes left, and the one against Tennessee with about 5:30 left? I think Tom Brady still reigns as current kind of the two-minute drive until Leftwich runs one to win a Super Bowl. Or two.
Speaking of New England quarterbacks, Leftwich actually reminds me a bit of the early days of Drew Bledsoe. He's tall, he's got a strong arm, he's immobile, and people forget some of those Bledsoe comebacks like the 1994 win over Minnesota, and the games where he led fourth-quarter comebacks with a broken finger against Buffalo and Miami in 1998. The difference is that when he's under pressure, Leftwich doesn't make the same kind of "fans bang their heads against the wall screaming 'why us?'" interceptions and fumbles.
Jeff Merron: I'd rather have Brady. I'd rather have Favre. I'd rather have the Mc's Nabb and Nair. Daunte, too. He's the prince this half of this season. His clutch cool isn't going away. But he's not king. Yet.
Alan Grant: If I recall, it was around his second season when a cat named Elway began to put together a string of comeback victories. But that's not why Leftwich reminds me of the Duke. He reminds me of Elway because he escapes the instant label. He's not particularly graceful, nor explosive, nor exciting in and of himself. But he's athletic enough, and elusive enough to get the job done. Also, what's supposed to be seen as debilitating "pressure," is just a means of making the game a little more fun.
Skip Bayless: Right now, you'd be hard pressed to go with any quarterback but Leftwich in the final minute of a tight game -- if he could have his Jaguars. In a vacuum, you wouldn't choose him over Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or even an aging Brett Favre. But right now, the Jaguars believe that no matter how hot/cold Leftwich has been for the game, he will magically get hot if he's trailing in the final two minutes. Before he was drafted, Leftwich was knocked for having two left feet, for having to wind up before he threw and for sometimes failing to display much football savvy.
But as he did at Marshall, Leftwich has been at his best when it matters most, throwing one sweet, accurate spiral after another in crunch time. No one manages the game more cooly than Leftwich does in the final 45 seconds, when he has pulled out four wins. To the Jags, he might as well be Montana.
Fourth down: You are Jeff Garcia and you bump into Terrell Owens leaving the field. What do you say to your former teammate?Alan Grant: That whole homosexual reference is never discussed because both men know about success with the ladies. The discussion, therefore, takes place on a purely existential level:
"OK, it's just you and me, T.O. Now that there's no one else around, tell me, man-to-man, what's wrong? This is me, Jeff, so there's no pressure to play this petulant role you've created for everyone slse. Hey, we both know it's hard to get the love you deserve -- especially with the 49ers. You think I don't know how that feels? But this is the wrong way to get it. Besides, we both know this mean, cold image isn't even you. That works for Keyshawn Johnson, but it doesn't work for you."
Patrick Hruby: "T.O, baby, let's put aside our differences and go have a drink. I'll buy the first round. I know a local bar that serves great hemlock."
Skip Bayless: If I were Garcia, I would say nothing to Owens. Garcia has no respect for Owens off the field because Owens has been on a media campaign to blame Garcia for everything that went wrong in San Francisco. Trust me, Owens dropped as many on-target passes as Garcia threw interceptions. Owens is off to a nice start because McNabb has been so much more comfortable and accurate than he was last season. But just wait until the Eagles lose and Owens deflects blame by pointing fingers. Garcia knows.
Aaron Schatz: Garcia: "Well, Lee Suggs is scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live rooster to take the curse off Phil Dawson's shoe and nobody seems to know what to get Antonio Bryant for a housewarming present."
T.O.: "Well, candlesticks make a nice gift."
Best Throw of The Week:
In what proved to be the game-winner for New England, Tom Brady's slide-right-and-fire that was snagged in the back of the end zone by David Patten near the end of the first half.
First runner-up: Daunte Culpepper's flailing pitch to Jermaine Wiggins. As a blitzing Tennessee cornerback dragged him to the turf, a spinning, near-prone Culpepper used his left hand to pitch the ball to Wiggins. Similar to last week's in-the-grasp toss from Trent Green to Priest Holmes, and far more successful than Jake Plummer's myriad attempts at the same.
Second runner-up:On first-and-10 at the Miami 44, WR Marty Booker completed a 48-yarder down the right side to Chris Chambers, setting up an 8-yard Sammy Morris TD run. Booker's completed three passes in his NFL career: one for 34 yards, one for 44, and this one for 48.
Worst Throw of The Week:
Drew Bledsoe -- and honestly, this is getting to be a habit -- throwing off his back foot into double coverage, looking for Lee Evans but finding 53-year-old Deion Sanders for Sanders' second pick of the day. A drive-killing, score-squandering blunder from 19 yards out, and one of four Bledsoe INTs in the game.
Runner-up: Kurt Warner, on the Lions' 37, scrambles with one hand on ball -- like he's tryng to throw -- and fumbles. Does that count? How about Warner's INT in the end zone. That definitely counts.
Will Dan Marino's single-season record of 48 TDs fall this season? If so, who will break it?
Jeff Merron: Yes. Daunte Culpepper, in the final game of the season.
Skip Bayless: Manning has a better chance to break it than Culpepper because Culpepper is much more comfortable running the ball if the situation dictates. Sunday, without Randy Moss, the Vikings ran 27 times and threw 30. Manning, who's basically his own coordinator, will throw and throw deep. But after Sunday's clash with receiver Reggie Wayne, you wonder about the Colts' togetherness. Manning can be a condescending know-it-all -- kid brother Eli has much better rapport with teammates -- and Wayne shoved Peyton when Wayne thought the criticism had gone too far. I, for one, won't root for Manning if he approaches the record, and I wonder if his teammates will.
Alan Grant: Manning and Culpepper will toss it to the house a-plenty, but 48 is a desperate number. It's the mark of a team that probably lacks a real solid plan. That said, I think Culpepper will top out in the high thirties. And Manning may get closer than that simply because the Colts, with their defense, tend to be rather desperate in all areas of their execution.
Patrick Hruby: No. Most seasons, defense starts ahead of offense. This year, with the emphasis on enforcing chuck rules, passing offenses have started out ahead of defenses. But don't worry: they'll adjust, the weather will turn chilly and Marino's mark will hold up.
That said, I expect Manning and Culpepper to make runs at it, in part because they're that good, in part because they both play in domes.
Aaron Schatz: Probably not, and here's why: One. That's the number of rushing TDs this season by Minnesota running backs Moe Williams, Michael Bennett, Mwelde Moore, and Onterrio Smith COMBINED. There is no way that a rushing attack as potent as Minnesota's goes through an entire season letting the passing game hog all the touchdowns.

Poor quality
By KG
from Ann Arbor, Michigan
Disappointed with many features of this refrigerator. Cheap, plastic DRAWERS- front facing breaks off when pulled out. This happened in the freezer and the refrigerator, I've had to glue them back together because the plastic tabs are completely broken off. WATER DISPENSER- water is room temperature, not cold. Rust is forming in tray beneath dispenser. ICE MAKER - is very loud. SHELVES- are not adjustable. Kitchen Aid has provided service when requested; however, I would not recommend this product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Piece of Garbage
By gackdeux
from Virginia Beach, VA
I have had this model for a couple of years and I have had to replace water valves, switches, and make various other repairs. I strongly recommend NEVER buy a KitchenAid appliance. Currently, I am one of the myriad of customers who have a non-functioning ice dispenser. I have gone through all the troubleshooting and had two professionals look at it and they cannot fix it. I think KitchenAid should stick to small appliances and get out of the refrigerator business.
By Disappointed

I bought this fridge, spending good money because of the brand name and their 10yr warranty. My older fridge no name lasted 10yrs before it finally gave up on us and I did even have to repair It once. After 1yr the right side of the fridge would not close properly. I called KitchenAid and was advised because its a cosmetic issue it would not be covered and the cost $350 which include parts and 1yr warranty. My husband ended up ordering the $30 part and fixed it himself. Now 2yrs after that our fridge side starting freezing everything! Eggs, vegetables, 1 gallon jugs, was not making ice and the water dispenser was not working. I figure this has to be covered, wrong again. The service rep said "only major parts" compressor some tube thing, I'm thinking wow for such a supposedly top notch brand this fridge is worthless and kitchen warranty is nothing. He quoted me the same price as when I called 2yrs ago, $350 he even added wow sounds like you have numerous issues with this fridge. Its only 3yrs old and we should of went with a no name brand. All they wanted was for us to pay for their warranty again and he even said they will look for a service company by us but we may end up even having to pay for the diagnostic fee! We will no longer purchase kitchenAid products and I hope in the future they consider what their "warranty" actually does for you.
Worst refrigerator we have ever owned.
By Disappointed with KitchenAid
from College Station, Texas
No stars (negative stars) We purchased this refrigerator in Sept 2013. We are on the third ice maker. It still only makes six little cubes every two hours. Water is now leaking from under the unit and has ruined our wood floor. The ice maker is in the door and is extremely noisy. The shelves are not adjustable and are poorly arranged. The only good thing about the ice maker in the door is that it gives more room in the freezer, so you can put in about 6 or 8 ice cube trays in order to have enough ice.
Great Features
By Trish
from Marietta Ga
I bought this a month ago and am so happy with it. The other refrigerator was too small for us since we have a garden and need the depth of the drawers. I wish I had bought it 2 years ago when my daughter moved back in. Now it is just two of us and we can still fill the refrigerator up with veggies.
Three issues
By Cheryl
from SC
Size is great for our family of five. I enjoy all of the special display features. 1. Not happy with whatever the "stainless steel" surface is made of. There are now rusty marks on it from my magnets. Same magnets that I use on last fridge with no issues, 2. Ice maker is always giving my husband a difficult time, 3. I keep hearing a dripping sound when ice maker fills up. I was told not to worry about it but would not be surprised if we find the door is full of water one of these days.

kitchen aid refrigerator
By June C. Winslow
from St. Louis Mo
I bought an entire kitchen of Kitchen Aid appliances for our new home. We have had Kitchen Aid before and have been pleased. I am however disappointed in the new Kitchen Aid Dishwasher because it now longer has a handle that matches all of the other Architect Series that I have in my new kitchen. The handle is not white but silver and looks totally out of place. I tried to talk to someone at Kitchen Aid to see if I could get a handle to match all of the other appliances that I have in my new kitchen but I have not gotten anyone to help me with this problem. A silver handle on a white dishwasher looks totally out of place with the other Kitchen Aid appliances that I have. I even tried to exchange it for a Architect 2 series only to be told that they were no longer available. Very disappointed in the look of the new handle. Your question upcoming about whether I would recommend you product is hard for me to answer because although I like the Kitchen Aid products I am disappointed in the new appearance of the new Kitchen Aid Dishwasher Model # KDTE104EWHO. Please let me know if I can get a White handle to match all of the other Kitchen Aid Appliances.

School Days
Me: The sequel to my previous one-shot, Sick Days. I would suggest reading that first so that way all the stuff in this makes more sense. There isn't much romance mostly friendship but that might change. Now my co-host, Kouji!
Kouji: What?
Me: Disclaimer, please.
Kouji: Why should I?
Me: 'Cause if you don't I'll cut Kouichi out the story and make you fall in love with a crazed fangirl!
Kouji: Uh...She doesn't own Digimon.
Chapter 1 - Horrid Memories
Kouji's P.O.V
I sat in my window seat in first period, staring at the clouds. I didn't feel like listening to Mr. Hanabi, my fairly likable but boring math teacher, go on and on about 'probability'. I was barely listening, catching just enough to not get in trouble if I'm called on, and heard today we would have 3 new students.
'3 new students?' I thought turning to look at the front. I heard the door slide open and in walked 3 familiar faces. The first was a girl with long blond hair and perky green eyes. She wore a white skirt and boots and a pink short sleeved T-shirt. She waved at the class and happily introduced herself,"Hi, my name's Zoe Orimoto. It's nice to meet you, I hope we can be friends."
The next student was a boy with messy brown hair and matching brown eyes. He had on a black shirt with a red flame on the front and tan cargo pants. The goggles that dangled around his neck swayed as he shifted on his red converse. "My name's Takuya Kanbara. Nice to meet ya." he said smiling.
The next student made my heart skip a beat. His face was a kinder, gentler mirror of mine with slightly shorter hair. He wore a dark green jacket and a black shirt underneath with black cargo pant. He hopped a little on his green converse. "My name's Kouichi Kimura. It's nice to meet you all." he said in a smooth voice.
A wave of whispers hit the classroom. "That boy, he looks like Minamoto-Sama." said one of my fangirls. "I wonder if he's cool like him too." said another. "Okay who would like to sit next to the new students and show them around, starting with Orimoto-Chan." Mr. Hanabi asked. A lot of the hands that shot up were boys, Mr. Hanabi picked the only girl. "Thank you Saruka-Chan. Orimoto-Chan, this is Midori Sakura." Mr. Hanabi introduced.
I liked Midori, she was nice and smart. Somehow she had natural green hair that were in two pigtail that went to her shoulders and dark brown, almost red in the light, eyes. She was pretty short, almost 4 feet. She wore a pale pink short-sleeved T-shirt and a knee-high red skirt with brown loafers. "Hi Orimoto-San! Sit right here." she said, waving to the seat next to her. Zoe graciously took the seat and asked her to just call her 'Zoe'. "Okay then you can call me Midori!" Midori answered cheerfully.
"Now, who wants to guide Kanbara-Kun?" Mr. Hanabi asked. Michio Tomiichi, a nice guy from the soccer team, raised his hand. He had messy pale blonde hair and green eyes. He wore black basketball shorts and a white T-shirt with white sneakers. "Me, I'll show him the soccer club, we need new players!" he said. "Thank you Tomiichi-Kun. This is Michio Tomiichi, Kanbara-Kun." Mr. Hanabi introduced the two.
"Okay now is there anyone who'd like to help Kimura-Kun learn the rules of the school?" Mr. Hanabi asked. Kouichi smiled out to the class. He shot out the usual waves of love when he was trying to make a good impression. Many hands shot up. The girls (and boys) they belonged to looked crazed. 'He'll get killed.' I thought, calmly raising my hand as well. "Ah, Minamoto-Kun, thank you for raising your hand. This is Kouji Minamoto." Mr. Hanabi replied once again shooing Kouichi to his seat.
Kouchi sat to the right of me and waved, smiling. I felt irritated, why didn't he tell me he was coming? I stared straight at the board and grumbled to myself the rest of class.
I dragged Kouichi to the courtyard along with Zoe and Takuya with their escorts. "Why didn't you guys tell me you guys were transferring?" I yelled at them. "We wanted it to be a surprise?" he half asked, shrugging. "Well why'd you-" I began before getting cut off. "Onii-Chan!" shouted a voice across the courtyard. A boy, probably 6 or 7-years-old, ran up to Kouichi. He had short raven black hair with his bangs swept over his left eye, both of which were dark, dark blue. His was a bit taller than Kouichi's waist. He wore a white T-shirt and black shorts with white sneakers.
"Onii-Chan." he called, tackling Kouichi. Kouichi fell down and laughed patting the kids hair. "Hello Nakamura-Kun, why aren't you at school?" Kouichi asked, looking at the kid with kind eyes. "There's no school today for me. Teacher's conference day." the kid piped happily. My eyes narrowed. I didn't like this getting too close to my brother. "Kouichi-Nii who's this?" I asked glaring at the kid who, surprisingly, glared back.
"Oh, this is Shino Nakamura, he's a first grader that went to my old school. I watched over the kids a lot so I played with him and his classmates." Kouichi explained. "Oh? Well since he's only in the first grade he should go home before it gets dark." I sneered. Nakamura stuck his tongue out and turned to Kouichi with a sickly sweet smile. "Nene and I made you lunch, but she somehow got lost." he said, looking around.
"I'm over here." a small voice spoke out. Everyone but Kouichi jumped. We turned around to see a small girl about Nakamura's age. She had golden straw colored hair in two small pigtails and grey eyes. She had on a white T-shirt and a green overall dress with white tennis shoes. "Nene-Chan, how have you been?" Kouichi asked. She blushed and smiled. "Okay..." she replied sitting down next to him. She held up a small lunch box. "Oh thank you! How about you two share the one I packed by myself." Kouichi said swapping the small lunch box for the one in his backpack.
I got irritated for a second. I glared at the troublesome kids and sighed, sitting down with the others to eat lunch.
*After Lunch*
I was showing Kouichi around the school when Charlie Care bumped into us. Charlie Care was an American boy that came to our school 2 years ago, he was part of the Martial Arts Club I joined. He had shaggy black hair and green eyes. He wore his martial arts garb.
"Hey Koji! Who's this?" he asked immediately. "This is my brother Kouichi. Kouichi this is a member from the Martial Arts Club." He waved at Charlie with a small smile. Charlie's nice but he's much too straight forward, that's why I had to resist the urge to punch him after the wrong question slipped out his mouth. "I was about to go see Mike at the Kendo Club. He's been looking forward to see new matches...Hey, I got an idea, why don't you two have a match? Ya know, just for fun." Charlie blurted.
Kouichi's eyes sparkled dangerously. This meant he liked the idea, and after what happened a couple months ago, I couldn't let him get a weapon of any kind fall into his hands. "H-hey, Kouichi, let's go to the Music Room. You'll probably like playing violin in there, the acoustics are fantastic." I practically screamed, shoving him away from Charlie. "Can't we have just one match? It'll be fun!" he cheered, grabbing my hand and following Charlie to the Kendo Club.
*Kendo Club*
I suited up in my Kendo gear then 'borrowed' some of the other members gear to protect my body with the extra layers. I inspected the bruise on the left side of my rib cage. It was from Kouichi's last episode and grew from the size of a golf ball to the size of a baseball by the end of the day of said 'episode'. I walked out the dressing room looking pudgy from the extra clothes.
Kouichi sat on the bench across the room in his regular clothes twirling a kendo stick. "Okay then." Mike, Charlie's little brother, started. "Let's begin the match between Kouji and Kouchi. Ready...start!" I eyed Kouichi who mere gazed at me with doe-like eyes and a soft smile. He walked toward me slowly, eyes scanning and analyzing my every move.
He swiped at my left rib cage and successfully hit the spot my bruise was, most likely causing it to grow even more. I clutched my side and knelt down. "I give! I give!" I shouted, removing my helmet. Kouichi sat down next to me and started to remove my shirt. "Wha-what are you doing?" I, unfortunately, squealed. He didn't look up and continued to remove my clothes. He finally finished the last layer and stared at my wound.
I was correct when I said it grew, it was now slightly larger than the size of a baseball. He poked it roughly, drawing out a pained groan from the back of my throat. He looked at me with slightly glossy eyes and slowly started to smile. 'Oh fuck!' I thought. 'I know that smile.' I shot a look at all the spectators. "All of you get out now!" I shouted, finding a way to scramble up and run toward my backpack. I pulled out my cellphone and conference called Zoe, Takuya, J.P., and Tommy.
As I fumbled with my phone, Kouichi bounced to his feet. He skipped toward me at a leisurely pace smiling. I curled myself against my backpack praying that someone would pick up and that the rest of the kids would leave. I heard a perky voice on the end of the phone. "Hey Kouji! Is there something wrong you rarely call." Zoe practically sang into the phone. "Zoe! It's 'Sick Day' all over again. Please, for the love of all that is good in life, send help!" I shouted frantically into the phone.
"Oh oh! Just try and keep alive until I gather everyone." she replied before cutting the connection. Right after the phone call ended, I noticed Kouichi wasn't walking in front of me. I panicked and searched for him on my left and right. I snapped my head behind me and saw he wasn't there either. Then, I felt something hard smack the back of my head and I blacked out.
Me: Whoops, didn't mean to make it a single P.O.V but I guess it'll change after the second chapter. Also if your confused about the episode mentioning and stuff like that, read my other story 'Sick Days'.

How to check the Oracle database connection encryption type?(between Oracle database and other client applications)How do I assure between Oracle database and Toad the database connection is encrypted? (My Toad version is 9.5 and Oracle database version is 11g)

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Unless you've done 'something' to encrypt the connection it is in the clear.
And if you want to encrypt this communication using an Oracle solution, you must be using the Enterprise Edition and you must purchase the Advanced Security addon.
If you the free way of doing this, use Stunnel https://www.stunnel.org/index.html
Amazingly enough, Stunnel and Advanced Security have many similarities. I've installed both, and like Stunnel.
Stunnel is great, especially when you want to make https connections from a stored procedure. Oracle requires all sorts of hoops like installing the client's certificate in the Wallet (which I think is now gone--finally--yet replaced with some other cumbersome idea. Where as, Stunnel just needs 3 lines of code in a setup file.
Anyway, unless you have a requirement to use Advanced Security Option, look into Stunnel.
And to see if you're running ASO, look in your sqlnet.ora file for strange entries this:
Look in both the client and the server's sqlnet.ora file.
Don't confuse Oracle Advanced Security with encrypted SSL client connections to the database. The Advanced Security option is comprised of two main features, Data Radaction and Transparent Data Encryption. TDE is the encryption of data within tables, so that if someone captures the datafiles they won't be able to read table data in the clear inside the file.
An encrypted SSL connection between a client and the database is just part of the Oracle Net Services and is included with every version. The Oracle documentation explains how to set that up.
To answer your question, run this query:
If you are connected via SSL you will get the response
If you get "tcp," then you are on a non-SSL connection.

Leadership is one of the primary tenets of the Honors College experience. We urge every student to take advantage of many leadership opportunities. Make an impact on the community from your first to last semester on campus.
Honors Leadership Council
The Honors Leadership Council (HLC) is comprised of one representative from each undergraduate Disciplinary College. This select group of students will have oversight of Honors College community development and programming related matters in order to add value to the student experience. Council members are selected by an application process in the spring and serve for an academic year term.
All applications are due by March 30, 2016. Click here to apply to be a Disciplinary College Representative. Click here to apply to be the Off Campus Student Representative. Or click here to apply for the International Student Representative position.
Click here to view an accessible version of this organization chart.
The Council will collaborate with Representatives from other Honors College groups on an alternating weekly meeting schedule and consult with the Honors College Dean on a monthly basis. Representatives from each respective area on the chart are selected in the spring by the groups in which they are a member of, except for positions requiring an application. These Representatives are liaisons to the Council and represent the interests of the populations they are connected with.
Programming Committees are chaired by members of the HLC and consist of any student in the Honors College who wishes to join through a callout process in the fall of each academic year.
Honors Mentors
Honors Mentors work alongside first-year Honors students enrolled in the eight-week course, HONR 19901: "The Evolution of Ideas." Mentors lead small teams in their HONR 19901 coursework and guide these students through the challenges of the first semester: transitioning to college; learning to think in interdisciplinary ways; and learning how to work in project teams.
Honors Ambassadors
Honors Ambassadors are student leaders who are dedicated to serving and representing the Purdue Honors College. Ambassadors interact and engage with prospective students to gain critical leadership skills while also promoting the Honors College and its opportunities. They provide insight about the college as part of recruitment, high-school visits, campus tours, special events, community service projects, speaking engagements and more.
Cultural Companions
Cultural Companions is a newly developed leadership program to support our incoming international student population while providing an opportunity for cultural discovery for first-year domestic students. The Honors College looks for first-year domestic students to apply to be a companion to a first-year international student. Taking concepts from the International Programs office, these companion pairs will meet one-on-one at least two times in the first academic semester and attend one of the two social "Mixers" put on by the Honors College. Through Cultural Companions students create meaningful friendships spanning across cultural barriers to come together as one community in the Honors College.

Macon Workers Compensation Attorney
If you have been injured at work and your doctor has limited you to part time work, or prohibited you from returning to work, you may qualify for workers compensation. The workers compensation attorneys at Buzzell, Graham & Welsh will assist you in this legal process. There are countless injuries that occur while at work – whether your injury is as serious as a major fall resulting in brain or spinal cord damage, or as minor as a repetitive use injury such as carpal tunnel, Buzzell, Graham & Welsh can assist you in the legal process of securing the compensation required to pay bills and live without further stress.
Learn More about Workers Compensation Claims
Workers compensation is simply insurance that provides assistance to workers who have been injured on the job. Determining which benefits are available to the injured party can be a complex process. Often times, the insurer will attempt to settle the case rather than pay the full amount of benefits due to the injured. You may also be fired from your position while away on workers compensation.
There are several different benefit options available to the injured
- Lifetime medical benefits
- Mileage reimbursement
- Temporary Total Benefits
- Temporary Partial Benefits
- Permanent Partial Disability Benefits
Workers Compensation Claim Questions
Q: If I've been injured, can I try to go back to work?
A: This won't count against you, so it's ok to try to return to work if you feel up to it.
Q: I'm already getting a weekly check. Why should I hire a lawyer?
A: Have you been denied a medical procedure that could help you get back to work faster? How about additional reimbursements, like mileage expenses to the doctor's office or meals and lodging in a distant city while receiving medical treatment? A BGW lawyer will make sure you're not missing out on any compensation available under the law.
Q: If I'm already getting weekly workers compensation benefits but still want a lawyer to help me get more, won't my lawyer just take 25% of that?
A: No. Your lawyer earns money for incremental effort – meaning anything earned for you above what you are already receiving. Attorney's fees must also be approved by a judge. It's worth contacting an attorney if you think you should be receiving more.
Q: Can I receive compensation for pain and suffering in a workers compensation case?
A: No. The Workers Compensation Act protects employers by limiting benefits to medical bills, wages, and permanent impairment.
Q: Can I lose my job if I file a workers compensation claim?
A: That's very rare, and only happens if you are totally disabled and no longer to perform the essential job functions. Normally, injured employees are released to light duty activities and will still get their medical bills paid. Unfortunately, no lawyer can protect your job as workers compensation generally does not offer job protection.
Q: Can I go to any doctor I choose?
A: Because your employer's insurance company is paying the bills, they have some control over your choice of doctors. Your employer and their insurance company usually will not tell you this, but you still have options for getting second opinions.
Q: What is permanent partial disability?
A: Employers and their insurance companies rarely volunteer the fact that you can be paid a certain amount for the partial disability you will face for the rest of your life.

I get this warning message for all of the packages in ~/oe-overo/tmp/work/overo-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/linux-omap3-2.6.39-r102/package WARNING: /media/dev-media/overo/tmp/work/overo-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/linux-omap3-2.6.39-r102/package/lib/modules/2.6.38/kernel/crypto/.debug/anubis.ko may be corrupt; an unterminated string was found at the end of section .modinfo and this error message for all packages in packages-split ERROR: QA Issue with kernel-module-snd-seq-midi-event: non debug package contains .debug directory: kernel-module-snd-seq-midi-event path /work/overo-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/linux-omap3-2.6.39-r102/packages-split/kernel-module-snd-seq-midi-event/lib/modules/2.6.38/kernel/sound/core/seq/.debug/snd-seq-midi-event.ko I have even deleted all of the .debug directories with find . -name .debug | xda /bin/rm -r but as soon as I run bitbake again the folders are recreated. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris
