Brett will have an off day, but Chuck is right. Packer fans are spoiled.
This exchange, coupled with the Terrell Owens stipulation that the Eagles would be better off with Favre got me thinking. What other teams would be better off with Favre as QB? Throw out age and career prospects and let us analyze what Brett could do for them today.
NFC North
Chicago – Kyle Orton is managing the games well for the Bears, but he is not the passer, the leader or the player of Favre's caliber. Brett has tormented the Bears for years, but they would take him in a minute.
Detroit – need I even go there?
Minnesota – Daunte Culpepper is a phenomenal talent. He is big and strong and fast and can throw the ball with the best of them, but he is a psychological disaster area. Randy Moss and Mike Tice and all this other junk surrounding this team has scarred him. If he can shake it off, he will come back from this injury a better player, just not as good as Favre, who would look good in Purple.
NFC South
Atlanta - Mike Vick is a great football player. He has amazing talent and competitiveness. He is a game changer. I would guess that other teams game plan against him more than they do any other quarterback in the league, including Manning. He has the ability to change the outcome of a game all by himself. But, he is an average passer. He is improving and there is little reason to doubt that he will become a good passer, but he is a liability at times if and when the Falcons need to throw pass. He does not throw many interceptions, but he will never carry the team with his arm when they need it.
Carolina – Jake Delhomme is a good player who has led his team to the Super Bowl. He has presence and leadership ability. He is tough and makes the players around him better. He is one of the top QB's in the league. Because of that, the Panthers are a favorite to get back to the big game again this year. Jake is a poor man's Brett Favre and Brett would vault the Panthers ahead of any other contenders for the top spot in the NFC.
New Orleans – Aaron Brooks is one of Favre's former understudies to be starting in the NFL. He has loads of ability, but is very inconsistent and makes poor decisions too often. There is no comparison here. Favre wins going away.
Tampa – Whether it is Brian Griese, Chris Simms or Phil Simms for that matter, Brett beats them all.
NFC West
Arizona – Is Neil Lomax still their quarterback?
St. Louis – Marc Bulger puts up big times stats, but as a leader he comes up short. Put Favre in that offense with those receivers and he would probably break every record in the book by a wide margin.
San Fran – Alex Smith might be good some day, but not today.
Seattle – Matt Hasselbeck is another Favre backup starting in the league and he has crafted a good career for himself. But if you reunite Favre with his old ball coach, Mike Holmgren, and with Shaun Alexander in the backfield, this team is the prohibitive favorite to win it all.
NFC East
Dallas – Drew Bledsoe is having a good comeback season and he has had some good statistical season over the years, but he is not the player that Favre is. I would love to see Favre and Parcells play nice together.
Giants – Eli Manning may approach his brother's stature some day and even Favre has had some awful days here and there, but the young man is not there yet. The Giants could have beat the Vikings last week with Tiki Barber as there quarterback.
Philly – McNabb is struggling mentally and physically. He is as talented a player there is in the league, but Favre would make this team better, especially given McNabb's condition currently. T.O. was right about this, but only this.
Washington – Mark Brunell, another Favre backup, was given up for dead last year and has had a decent bounce back season. But he is not in Brett's league now or in his heyday with the Jaguars.
AFC North
Baltimore – Offensive genius Brian Billick would give his first born for Favre, but I think he would probably screw it up some how.
Cincy – Carson Palmer is having a breakout season and can be talked about in elite company, but he will need to win some big games and do it consistently for me to even think about taking him over Brett.
Cleveland – Trent Dilfer beat Favre this year and has a Super Bowl ring. He is a tough competitor who can lead a team, but to even compare the two is pointless.
Pittsburgh – Big Ben is on a run that is the envy of the league – he has lost only two games in the last two years. He is everything the Steelers need at quarterback. But he does not have Favre's talent. This is a toss up, but only because of the team chemistry angle.
AFC South
Houston – Pretty boy David Carr could be a good QB if he survives this season. One thing he and Brett have in common is toughness. No one gets knocked around more than Carr.
Indy – Peyton Manning is the current NFL poster boy for a quarterback. His stats are unreal. He has a wholesome image and is probably a good guy. But he is a front-runner. As long as things are going well, he has it together. But faced with adversity, he will crack. Playing the Houston Texans, I take Manning. Late in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, down by six with a ferocious rush, I take Favre.
Jacksonville – Byron Leftwich is a good tough QB. He is not better than Brett Favre.
Tennessee – Steve McNair has talent to spare and plays hurt and is surrounded by nobodies, but this former MVP is not in Brett's league. He has developed into a good passer and can beat you with his legs, but Favre is better.
AFC West
Denver – Jake Plummer is having a MVP season in some folk's eyes, but he is too inconsistent and will break your heart eventually.
KC – Trent Green has played as well as anybody over the past few years, but Favre gives this team a better chance of winning.
Oakland – Kerry Collins is a walking disaster. He will tempt you with his talent and ability, only to implode at a moments notice.
San Diego – Drew Brees had a great year last year and is playing well this year, but it was not so long ago that they were ready to dump him for a rookie. Show me a few years more of production and I will believe it.
AFC East
Buffalo – J.P. Losman. "Nos man."
Miami – There is no way that Nick Saban and Brett Favre get along, but he would be better than Gus Frerotte.
Jets – Who is the Jets QB? Chad Someone? Vinny Testeverde? The Wisconsin quarterback before John Stocco? Jay Fiedler? Some guy named Kliff?
New England – Tom Brady is the only guy in the league who I think is better for his team than Favre is for Green Bay. He is a winner and a leader unlike any we have seen in many years. He is perfect for the situation in New England. Favre has more talent, and would probably fit in on this team, but why mess with success? Makes you wonder what the Packers might have achieved if Mike Holmgren had not left for greener pastures.
So the next time Favre throws a couple picks in a game, give him a break. Who else would you want lining up behind center?

Has anybody got any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? The relevant extract from my cluster.conf is: <clusternodes> <clusternode name="hades-cls" nodeid="1" votes="1"> ... <fence> <method name = "1"> <device name = "hades-oob"/> </method> </fence> ... </clusternode> <clusternode name="persephone-cls" nodeid="2" votes="1"> ... <fence> <method name = "1"> <device name ="persephone-oob"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> </clusternodes> <fencedevices><fencedevice agent="fence_eric" ipaddr="10.1.254.251" login="fence" passwd="some_password" name="hades-oob"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_eric" ipaddr="10.1.254.252" login="fence" passwd="some_password" name="persephone-oob"/>
</fencedevices> ...I have a near identical setup on all my other clusters, so this is somewhat baffling. What else could be relevant to this, specifically in the context of no fencing attempts even showing up in the logs? I have set up scores of RHCS clusters and never seen anything like this before. The only unusual thing about this cluster is that I had to write a bespoke fencing agent for the machines, but these test true when I use them to down/reboot the machines.

Visakhapatnam: Australian batsman George Bailey had a lucky escape from injury after being hit on the helmet by a "truck like" bouncer from compatriot Nathan Coulter-Nile during an Indian Premier League match here.
Bailey, representing Rising Pune Supergiants, top-edged a rising ball that dislodged his helmet during the game against Delhi Daredevils yesterday.

Bailey was glad that he had a helmet on.
"Those watching on TV got a better picture than I did, because all I sort of remember was it was like getting hit in the face by a truck. It was pretty quick. I was quite glad to have one of the new helmets on," said Bailey.
He also saw the funny side of the unpleasant incident. "A couple of players were disappointed that the helmet did not roll on to the stumps but most people were checking," said Bailey who remained unbeaten on eight as Supergiants won the rain-hit game by 19 runs.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is all set to relax the one-year cooling period rule in its Managing Committee meeting today, it is learnt. Two years ago, the MCA imposed a one-year ban on players who move to different states before being considered for selection again. Mumbai stalwart and former skipper Amol Muzumdar would be the biggest beneficiary of this decision.
Amol Muzumdar
Muzumdar, who moved to Assam before the 2009-10 season, has already expressed his desire to play for Mumbai again. Vinit Indulkar, Bhavin Thakkar (both Himachal Pradesh), Vinayak Mane (J&K), Santosh Saxena (Railways) and Wilkin Mota (Tripura) could also benefit from this rule change. It will also be a boon to Mumbai Police players who are often transferred from one state to another.
"The cricketers will move out of Mumbai if they get an opportunity elsewhere. It is a wise thing to do rather than wait for an opportunity. So, if they desire to play for Mumbai again, we should accept them. After all, they are not ordinary cricketers. They are proven performers. We are hopeful on reaching a consensus on the one-year cooling period today," a source said.

- Boy Scouts of America
Be courageous and end the ban on gay scouts and leaders
United Methodists members and clergy (present, former and friends) urge the Boys Scouts of America to end their ban on gay scouts and leaders. As persons of faith we have long struggled with the hurtful exclusions of good people from boy scouting. Many of us have not been able, in good conscience, to sponsor scout troops because of their hurtful policy. Some of us have made agreements with our local Scout Council to ignore the National Policy and operate troops that do not exclude. This policy change will allow us to again embrace this wonderful program and assure that all God's children, straight and gay, are treated with dignity, love and the healing ministries of our churches.

To wish parents in 'traditional' families would explain to their children that families come in all shapes and sizes?(145 Posts)
Just overheard yet another friend ask DS (4) where his daddy is. DS hasn't even asked about his absent father yet, i've raised him alone since birth.
I realize it's a perfectly normal question for a child to ask, however all his friends parents know he doesn't have a daddy and one in particular has asked him several times in front of the other parent. Is it really too much to expect a parent to explain to their kids that all families are different and some children don't have a daddy/mummy and that it might be a little insensitive to keep asking?
I do think it's a case of just not thinking it's necessary as they themselves are not in that situation so it doesn't affect them.
I know two young children who have both lost their mothers too and it's just so upsetting for the children to keep being asked about them.
So AIBU to expect parents to explain these things to their children in order to spare the feelings of the children affected, not to mention the awkward questions they can raise for single parents?
Why does the 6 year old keep asking the same question? To wind you or her mum up if she knows it's something she's not allowed to ask? Because she's not allowed to ask, so it's interesting? Because she hasn't had an answer yet? I'd imagine the average 6 year old knows plenty of children at school without dads on the scene.
I can't think of a single family I know in which all of the children/parents/grandparents/cousins/aunts/uncles live in a "traditional" family, if traditional means two able-bodied married parents, one male, one female.
It's not something I've ever discussed with my DC. I've never considered it to be my responsibility to explain other people's family set ups. If they ask why someone doesn't live with their Daddy I will say that not everyone lives with both their parents, but I'm not going to be reading them stories about it
Astley are you the type of parent who can't even look at some animals in the zoo without bleating 'oh there's the mummy giraffe and the dddy giraffe and the bby giraffe!". Some parents are so conservative tht they are endlessly endlessly (without even realising it) compounding to their children the notion tht this is The.Way.It.Is.
nobody expects you to read stories about single prent families or gay families.. but it's in your ATTITUDE (or not as the case may be)
@gay40, yeh i prepped my kids, 'next time somebody asks you where your fther is, just say *timbuktooshire. It's not secret!! ''i
i disagreee tht it's always kids being kids. i was asked what my x DID. by a four year old. a single parent friend who lives with her parents her dd was told by a child 'this isn't your house it's your grandparents house'. she overheard and said loudly 'excuse me, it's our home!'. tht same child asked my friend's child wht her father drove. what child wonders that? straight from the mother (in that particular case). that mother (smug married) ws quick enough to stride into the school when her children were being called fat.
Children expect everyone to be the same as themselves. My aunt had to wear callipers until she was about 5 or 6 and apparently one of her most frequent questions was "why haven't they got callipers like me?".
I have children with SN - I expect other children to be kind to my children, but I don't expect them to understand all the political/social ins and outs of our situation. To be honest I don't expect it of every adult. I explain about different relationships, ethnicities and life choices etc as they come up but I'm not going to get a book/do a sociology lesson just because your kid doesn't have a dad.
Ginebra - you sound very angry and bitter.
We have a traditional set-up, and I'm sure I would be "guilty" of the mummy and daddy elephant and baby or whatever. Actually, I probably wouldn't. I'd tell my dcs straight that dads in the wild are inclined to eat or trample on their young.
We spend our whole lives potentially putting our foot in it. We should all try to teach our dcs to be sensitive - to different family set-ups, to disabilities, to people's personal tragedies. But if someone asks a question - even if they are a small child - you can't be angry about it unless they are disparaging.
I tend to agree raspberryroop. I have a child with severe disabilities too and if my boys have children round sometimes they ask what is wrong with their sister and they can ask loads of questions. They are children, they are inquisitive, they want to learn about the world around them. I don't think it would do me any favours to get funny with their parents about it and maybe people don't explain because they just accept the situation and don't see it as unusual and just see you as you and him as a normal loving family
Unfortunately YABabitU because DCs will still ask... If you go down that route you will have soooo much to prepare them for! They're innocent questions to anything that may seem slightly different to a DC. Of course we'd all prefer that our DCs ask us first so that we can explain accordingly, rather then them asking the person/child direct, but that doesn't always happen. Like 'why do you have a fat tummy like Father Christmas Grandpa?' Not so sure my DF saw the funny side...
Sorry but no I'm not going to sit down and have some artificially constructed conversation trying to cover all possible permutations of family structure in the UK today with a pre-school age child in order not to put someone's nose out of joint... when it comes up, I'll deal with it there and then.
And I'm the child of a single parent myself so I've had the questions asked at me - for all those hoiking themselves in indignation by proxy - the questions didn't bother me, it was a simple "he doesn't live with us" and the conversation moved on (and considering I was fairly viciously bullied through lots of my childhood - it was never used as leverage for that either).
Miaow, my son (11) has even asked ME in the past why I don't have a Dad!
It's very hard isn't it? I remember dd1 was so upset when her friend squashed her delight at her new baby sister by reminding her she was "only your half sister" so sad for her but I guess it can't be helped.
My dc wouldn't think to say anything like that because we've always been fairly laid back about it eg dh and ex good friends and my best friend is my ex sil.
At 4 surely you should expect questions llike that, i dont think i need to explain to my nearly 4 year oldl that some peopel dontn have daddys/mummys or have 2 daddy/mummys, hed probably forget 2 minutes later if i did.
I adopted DS as a single paretn, his birth mother gave false information on the birth cert and birth father was unnamed so we have no way of finding out anything about them. Additionally DS was relinquished at birth.
So is about as fatherless as its possible to get and we have been through the various phases of DS asking and other people asking.
At 4, he was happy with "we don;t have a Daddy in our family". No further discussion - if pushed he would say we do have a Nanny and an uncle Ian and a ....
By 6 it had morphed into "I do have a father. EVERYONE has a father. Mine lives a long way away and we don't see him".
Your child needs to learn and to role play with you different answers until he finds one he is happy with then he can repeat it very firmly ad nauseum if necessary. You can never assume every child is aware of every family permutation so the onus is on you to make sure your child is equipped to deal with it.
If you think explaining and absent father is tricky, you want to try having a 6 yr old asked in school "why did your REAL mum give you away?".
(Although I think YABU, you have my sympathy as it can be hard to watch your child struggling with difference - harder than going through it yourself I think)
I don't understand why it's such a big deal? Surely loads of us MNers were brought up in 2.4 children families, with mummy and daddy, and back then it wouldn't have necessarily been explained to us about the six million possible combinations, yet we don't have issues with different families?
at least I know I don't, and I like to think none of you do either
And I am assured by the school that despite there not being one other single paretn family in DS's class in reception - that will certainly be a good few of them by the end of school!
They ask a question, they get an answer. Get over it.
"Astley are you the type of parent who can't even look at some animals in the zoo without bleating 'oh there's the mummy giraffe and the dddy giraffe and the bby giraffe!". Some parents are so conservative tht they are endlessly endlessly (without even realising it) compounding to their children the notion tht this is The.Way.It.Is. "
Erm... are you kidding Ginebra?
I grew up in Very Catholic Ireland (before it all went laissez-faire) with my parents not only separated but in new relationships so I can tell you now, there were questions pretty much All. The. Time. We didn't even have divorce and I had to listen to people preaching on about how evil it was all the time. There were certain people who wouldn't let their children play with me, as though this "broken family" syndrome might be somehow catching .
I still point out mummy, daddy and baby giraffes! I do this because it links to MY children's current experience, and young children (and I am thinking under 8 here) are pretty pants at understanding relationships except within the context of their own experience.
I also have NO intention of explaining "non traditional family set ups" to my children unless it comes up naturally in conversation (which, having worked with kids for most of my life, I know it eventually will).
Let's talk about the elephant in the room here. The majority of the time "non-traditional family set-ups" arise out of heartbreak: death, abandonment, separation. While a huge amount of families go on to have much better lives, to explain to an under-8 in any sort of concrete way why that happens unless it comes up in natural conversation is not going to be an easy thing to do. It's one thing to say "Johnny's daddy doesn't live with him, he sees him on Saturdays" or "Ben's mum got very poorly and died, just like your granny did" in order to explain questions about an actual Johnny or an actual Ben, but to just randomly introduce the idea of loss, death and separation as it is politically correct to do so is, in my opinion, slightly nuts. As if kids don't worry enough about abandonment in their own way anyway without planting in their heads that parents die and leave and never come back for no other reason than to "prepare" them for the realities of life? Don't think I want that for my kids right now.
Oh dear that is a shame that it hurts your child and you. I am from a 'traditional' family and we have broached the subject of different types of family when it comes up - rather than a big conversation.
4 is very young and they are making sence of their world around them. It was probably a very curious question with no mallor.
My son's best friend's parents divorsed and when they moved home and his friend (age 7) lived with his mother in a smaller house I 'coached' my son to be sensitive to his friend's feelings and that all families are different etc. The first thing he said when we visited at the new home was "I won't ask you why your mum and dad don't love each other any more because it may upset you!"
I was mortified. The mother was pretty angry. I had the best of intentions in explaining the differences etc, but even at 7 they call a spade a spade!
I am not angry and bitter. my kids can be trusted not to go in to school and say "are you fat? " "why are you fat?" "you have a patch over one eye" or whatever. these same kids havent got the common decency not to interrofate my kids. its not bitterness to notice that there is an irony there. howcridiculous to label somebody who has experiences you dont have "bitter" . maybe we should go round in circles and i could call you immature.
Reading the smugness on this thread though.. eg, "why should i teach my children about non-traditional families?" (wow, im alright jack), makes me throw my hands up. next time my son tells me *harvey says ive no dad, instead of a long diplomatic careful speech about how harvey doesnt know any better, i think ill say "he is rude and he is fat and his granddad has been convicted for ¢¥£$ {><_ ^][}>". well i guess i wont but all the sensitivity and diplomacy comes from my end. and i wonder why i bother reading this thread.
The way I see it though Ginebra, is there is a very big difference between not teaching your kids anything about particular possible scenarios, but teaching them a good basis of right and wrong, and slagging off all your friends and neighbours in front of your kids so they pick up on it and repeat the bad bits.
My (not very clear!) point being, that if other kids are being nasty to yours, there is obviously more of a problem than their parents simply not teaching them that its possible for a family to have, one mum, two mums, one dad, two dads, a mum and a dad, a mum and step dad, a dad and step mum, adoptions, fostering, brothers, sisters, twins, triplets, step siblings, half siblings etc etc etc
Yes... ive been unlucky with one insufferably smug 3.4 family that live nearby and go to the same school. the parents clearly do consider themselves better and the attitude filters down. but my kids are better looking, nicer, sportier, more sensitivevand more diplomatic for sure! i guess it will all be alright in the end. simple questions i dont mind. it's when you know that your honest matter of fact answer has relegated you in their eyes, that's what is hard to stomach. but actuallt there is only one family i have in mind. she is the exception. i think because het "respectabikity' is nouveau :-p her parents crimes are not her fault but i think she sets a lot of store into being respectable. i am hearing mel n kim in my head now .

|[jira] [Created] (DIRSERVER-1832) Rethink the use of lock in the OperationManager

Emmanuel Lecharny created DIRSERVER-1832: -------------------------------------------- Summary: Rethink the use of lock in the OperationManager Key: DIRSERVER-1832 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1832 Project: Directory ApacheDS Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M11 Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny Fix For: 2.0.0-RC1 We do use lock for read and write in the OperationManager, which might be a problem. The rational is that we may have to combine some reads and writes in the very same operation (for instance, if we update some of the opAttributes, or if we update ore than one entry). I'm not sure this is needed, and I'm not sure we can't find another way to protect the server against concurrent modifications. In any case, a thorough evaluation of those lock usage must be done. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Did you notice the hidden track on M83's brilliant work of art, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming?
For the less perceptive, there was a hidden six-minute tribal jam called 'Mirror.' It'll be seeing its very own 7" vinyl release on April 21 for Record Store Day. Only 2,000 copies will be made available so you'll need to get in super quick.
However, you won't have to wait until then to hear it:

Vampire and assassin Adriana Dupré has nothing left.
Manipulated into slaughtering nearly all of her family, she pursues only two things: finding her sister-turned-vampire and avenging the deaths of her family.
Sorcerer and Hollywood bad-boy Dwyer Strathan has information she needs. To get it, Adriana must retrieve two relics — the Vyntari shards.
To get the shards, Adriana must journey from the soulless glamor of modern-day Los Angeles to the seedy underworld of Berlin.
She will engage in battles against vengeful werewolves, a trio of warrior sorcerers who protect the Vyntari shards, and other supernatural creatures bent on keeping her at bay.
Each encounter draws Adriana deeper into the supernatural underworld's struggle for control of the shards, a struggle long hidden from human eyes —
The Shadowdance.
Adriana must ultimately decide if her desire for revenge is worth giving Strathan the power to enslave the world.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Million dollar view from our Oceanfront Condo!
Bathroom remodeled in June 2017! Fresh and New! We charge a discounted cleaning fee of only $99! We don't have any "hidden fees."
Watch dolphins and whales swim by from the lanai... The sunsets are spectacular!! Relax or swim in the oceanfront pool... or barbecue and enjoy a mai tai! PLEASE WATCH OUR VIDEO!! You'll SEE and HEAR the waves which makes this location so special!
This AIR CONDITIONED condo is close enough that you can walk to town. There's a Farmers Market right across the street where you can buy fresh fruit and have banana pancakes for breakfast!
Small 12-unit complex... like your own private boutique complex .... Very quiet except for the ocean waves and lull you to sleep at night!
Let me excite your imagination....When you open the front door and look toward the living room, all you see is ocean. You'll hear the waves crashing. It's incredible! Condo is fully equipped with everything you need, including beach gear. We have really upgraded the condo with new travertine floors and granite counter tops that are beautiful!!
We have TV and cable in both living room and bedroom for your comfort. Hawaiian CD's await you. Fast WIFI internet for all you geeks! There is a very nice washer and dryer and is always available and no need to wait in line.
FREE PARKING in front and security gate at the entrance. So, let us know if you have any other questions... it's always first come first served!
Keywords: Condominium
Aloha! Thank you so much for the wonderful condo! We had a great relaxing stay. Hope to come soon again! Ready to move here. Relax, serene and lowkey. Thanx!
A very nice little getaway! We loved sitting outside enjoying our morning coffee while listening to and overlooking the waves. With a six hour time change it was wonderful to feel able to relax with no rush in the mornings, and in such a beautiful place! We made use of the pool a few times, which was well maintained. One of the full time residents pointed out that there is a man-made but nature maintained pool visible and just a short walk from the condo. It seems the thing to do is to stand on the ocean side and late big waves hit you and push you into the pool! Sounds fun, be we didn't learn of it until our last day. Now you know!
Parking was a little tight for our Jeep rental, but easily manageable. We looked at the hotels in the area from our balcony and imagined paying more for less. No thanks! If we return to Kona, we'd be looking to stay here again!
We husband and I loved our trip to Hawaii and this condo was a great find! The condo is clean and was stocked with a cooler, beach chairs, towels, swimming fins and masks and more! It was nice having a kitchen with a stove, dishwasher, and other appliances. The view from the balcony was the highlight of the place! Looking right down to the ocean, we enjoyed our coffee on the balcony with the fresh ocean breeze each morning and we watched the sunset from the balcony while playing cards and sipping a refreshing beverage. The location was perfect- just across the street from a small local marketplace, and far enough away from the shopping and restaurant area but still close enough with only a 5 minute drive! It was nice to have a designated parking spot right out front. This condo was on the Main Street right along the waterfront and it was in perfectly located between beaches one direction and shopping/dining the other direction. We will definitely recommend this to friends and family and we'd love to bring our kids back and stay here again!
The unit was as advertised, quiet, comfortable and uncrowded. The unit was well equipped with all utensils and well stocked with reading material. Sunsets were glorious and during our stay we saw no one using the pool. Laundry facilities on the property are convenient and again, uncrowded.
The unit was very comfortable and convenient to the town. Finding the entrance took some doing on our arrival - a dark rainy night - but after that getting around was a snap. Our sole complaints are that 1. The unit needs some up dating especially the mattress. 2. The water in the shower doesn't seem to get much hotter than "warm". Other than that we would stay here again.
A great place to be. Sat on the Lanai and watched the waves and boats early morning. Saw lots of Canoes, fishing boats and the cruise ships. We kept pretty busy so mostly we enjoyed the mornings. This Island even though it's the "Big Island" we could get anywhere in a couple of hours. Didn't even turn on the TV until the last night, mostly sat and listened to the waves. Quiet area, hardly saw the other guests, beautiful sunsets. Just as advertised. The one small problem we had Kathie got it taken care of right away. Don't forget to check out all the stuff in the closet. We didn't realize the binoculars were there until the last day(they were in plain site on the shelf) beach chairs, coolers etc. Would go back over and over, not sure I can get my Husband that far from home again but he also loved it.
We did the Helicopter tour fire and falls out of Hilo, the Volcano night time tour, zip lining at Akaka Falls, snorkeling at a few different beaches and just driving and stopping when we wanted. Saw the painted church, the national parks, black sand beach, sea turtles etc. On our last day we went to the Chocolate farm (Original Hawaii Chocolate factory) it was really interesting and very informative. My Grandson is fascinated with the pictures of the pods growing right on the trunk and limbs of the tree. Just driving around you see beautiful vistas, so glad we went.
Enjoyed our 4 nights here.Plenty of utensils,plates ,etc in kitchen.C omfortable king bed, extra sink in bedroom very handy,well appointed bathroom-nice shower. Plenty of accessories- beach chairs,towels, cooler,etc for beach. Great ocean view, nice lanai with chairs and table- just be careful it's not completely private ,people in other unit can walk by. Good fan system-unit was hot when we got there but ran AC for a while and never had to use again. Central location- Kailua to north and several beaches to the south. Enjoyed Quinn's for dinner.Fairly quiet though in AM noise carries if you have bedroom windows open. Parking for unit is a little tight , especially if you have a big vehicle. Clean,kept up well-would stay again .
This unit is a good value with an outstanding view which is exactly as in the photo. It's directly oceanfront with a beautiful sunset. It's comfortably furnished and has everything you would need for a relaxed vacation. It was clean and the kitchen was recently renewed. The pool area is well cared for and has recently been refreshed and was very quiet when we were there. Overall this small group of condos is quiet and located within minutes of the historic town of Kona with it's waterfront restaurants. Target, Wal Mart and Costco, etc. and other good grocery stores are nearby. It's close to the airport, too, which we find convenient.
We like to explore and the Big Island has so much to offer with historic sites, Volcano National Park, beautiful coastal drives, coffee plantations, black and white sand beaches, every water sport, and more. We ate lunch and dinner out everyday and found the food to be very good and generally not overpriced unless you choose something more upscale. Of course there's the wonderful Kona coffee and don't miss the Greenwell Farms coffee plantation tour. You'll learn a lot about the production of coffee and find and out why Kona is one of the premiere coffees of the world.
The owner, Kathie, is very reasonable to deal with.
Scuba diving, See a real volcano!!!

Definition Edit
A vehicle tracking system combines the installation of an electronic device in a vehicle, or fleet of vehicles, with purpose-designed computer software at least at one operational base to enable the owner or a third party to track the vehicle's location, collecting data in the process from the field and deliver it to the base of operation. Modern vehicle tracking systems commonly use GPS technology for locating the vehicle, but other types of automatic vehicle location technology can also be used. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software.

Pat Spillane's Top 40 Gaelic Footballers right now, Part 1
I'm often asked who I rate as the best footballer in the country. There are variations on that theme; like who is the best defender, best midfielder, best forward or the top 10 players in Gaelic football. Now that the championship is done and dusted for another year, I have decided to compile my list of the top 40 footballers in the country.
40- Sean Quigley (Fermanagh)
His scoring statistics speak for themselves. He scored 4-42 in the league and 2-36 in the championship. A scoring machine that is worth his weight in gold.
39- Diarmuid Murtagh (Roscommon)
If Kevn McStay and Fergal O'Donnell are going to deliver silverware, the scoring must come from Murtagh, one of the most skilful forwards around
38- Diarmuid O'Connor (Mayo)
A shoo-in for Young Footballer of the Year, he was a revelation in the two matches against Dublin in the All-Ireland series.
37- Darren McCurry (Tyrone)
A skilful, nippy forward, he is blessed with a wonderful left foot and is deadly accurate from both play and frees.
36- Paddy McBrearty (Donegal)
An accurate finisher, he has the ability to win his own ball. Showed glimpses of reaching his full potential in the early rounds of the championship.
35- Sean Cavanagh (Tyrone)
While he is past his peak he was still the player who drove Tyrone all the way to the All-Ireland semi-final this year.
34- Niall McNamee (Offaly)
Has always reminded me of Maurice Fitzgerald. Great balance, very skilful and deadly accurate.
33- Dessie Mone (Monaghan)
Has reinvented himself as an effective sweeper, but retains the ability to kick long-range points when he ventures forward.
32- Paul Geaney (Kerry)
Even though he was below his best in the All-Ireland final he is a tremendously skilful player and is very accurate with both feet.
31- Niall Kelly (Kildare, below)
At last he is beginning to deliver on the promise he showed at minor and college level. A really accurate half-forward.

While I am knee-deep into football season (covering both college and the NFL on TV side), I am starting to feel the buzz that can only mean hockey is around the corner. So, what better way to get even more pumped about hockey than to reach out to you, the fans, here at ESPN.com?
We'll have a lot to talk about, so check out the column every Friday. Let's get started!
Each season gives every team a fresh start. It also puts a few players and coaches on my NHL radar. Here are five people I'll be watching this season.
Dominik Hasek
After entering the postseason as the top seed in the West, only to lose in the first round to the pesky Edmonton Oilers, the Detroit Red Wings had to do something this offseason. That something was bringing back The Dominator, Dominik Hasek, since goaltending was not Detroit's strength in the playoffs last season.
Were the Red Wings that desperate? Was the goalie pool that thin? Everything else is in place in Detroit, but with Hasek getting a lot of playing time, at age 41 no less, can he make it through an entire season? I am going to be checking the box scores every night to see how he does, to see if he can stay healthy. If I am a Red Wings fan, especially after Hasek's injury woes last season, I am concerned about Detroit's goaltending. We know Hasek's a winner, but when you're talking about a netminder, it's hard to stay healthy. Look at the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist last season. He was young, he had a great start, but the wear and tear caught up with him.
Brendan Shanahan
I've watched Brendan Shanahan in a couple of games this preseason, and I know it's early, but he looked strong for the Rangers. The skating ability is there and he makes pinpoint passes. The winger doesn't look 37. I also think he's come to embrace the challenge of taking on a leadership role in New York, a leader the Rangers desperately need. Shanahan also seems to be relishing life off the ice in the Big Apple. He's walking his kids to school, he's riding the subway, he's talking to the fans. He loves it. It also doesn't hurt that one of his best friends, former Rangers star Adam Graves, is in town. You can bet Gravy had a hand in recruiting Shanahan.
Shanahan is going to help this power play and he's going to take pressure off Jaromir Jagr and Michael Nylander. He'll find the open man. He'll also help make Petr Prucha better in his sophomore season. And the fact that Shanahan signed a one-year deal shows he is committed to winning (it also shows the Rangers have learned their lesson). He could have gone to a lot of places, but he knows he has a legitimate shot at winning a Cup in New York. It's also kind of cool that Shanahan will reach the 600-goal plateau in a Blueshirt.
Chris Pronger
After all of the offseason distractions, big defenseman Chris Pronger now has a chance to focus on the task at hand: bringing the Anaheim Ducks back to the Cup finals. I believe Pronger can be the kind of leader Paul Kariya was when he was with the Ducks -- the kind of never-say-die, impose-your-will-on-the-opposition type of leader. (Remember Kariya in Game 6 of the 2003 Stanley Cup finals!?! After taking that hard hit from the Devils' Scott Stevens, he came back and helped force a Game 7. Oh, if only the Ducks could have pulled out a Cup win, but I digress!)
Pronger's leadership, plus what he learned from his run with the Oilers last season, has to trickle down to the rest of the team. I don't think he's washed up, I don't think he'll be distracted on the ice. I don't think Southern California will sidetrack him. He'll get the Ducks back on the Cup track.
Scott Walker
One of my favorite players in the league is forward Scott Walker, who will start the season in a new home after being traded by the Predators to the Cup champion Hurricanes.
He's only 5-foot-10, but Walker makes up for it with his great skating and speed. He helped make the Predators a watchable team last season. And the new rules help Walker, who loves the more open ice. He's one of those underdog players you love rooting for, so he'll be on my radar. Many GMs talk about taking chances the season following a Cup win. While the Hurricanes didn't make a splash this offseason (something that didn't hurt them before the 2005-06 season, either), Walker is the type of quiet acquisition that can be a difference maker over the long haul.
Ted Nolan
You don't have to know a lot about hockey to know the raw deal Ted Nolan has received over the years. He made a strong impression when he started in the league over 10 years ago, he won Coach of the Year honors in 1997, and then he was an outcast. Why?! So with his return to NHL coaching, even die-hard Rangers fans have to root for the new Islanders bench man.
We all scratched our heads this offseason with all of the Islanders' crazy moves (the hiring and firing of GM Neil Smith, the hiring of new GM Garth Snow, the 15-year deal to Rick DiPietro). But, they did stick to their guns and stuck with Nolan as their coach. Nolan seems motivated, and with role players like Brendan Witt and Mike Sillinger added to the lineup, he'll have more role players that can buy into and help implement his game plan. Don't be surprised, despite all the offseason turmoil, if this team gets off to a decent start. Will it last? I don't know, but I think Nolan will start off well.

text: Google probably expected rivals to its Google Glass (pictured above) to arrive sooner rather than later, but I'm not sure it would have expected Samsung to be in the mix as soon as this year.Yes, not content with having a watch to play with your phone, Samsung is now looking at Galaxy Glasses to do something similar, accordion to a report in the Korea Times. An official at Samsung is quoted as saying: 'The reason is simple. The market potential for smart glass is huge. It will be used in trucks, cars and has a greater impact on related industries such as glass- and coatings-makers.'But right now, it is focusing on smart glasses with more modest aims. The Galaxy Glass (that is the official name right now, we believe) will be launched at the IFA trade show in Berlin in September and is said to link with a smartphone to display alerts on a translucent lens, so you can take calls and listen to music.The same Samsung official added: 'The new smart glass to be introduced by Samsung is a new concept of wearable device that can lead to an exciting culture of communication. The smart glass will present our aim to lead the new market with proven capability. Wearable devices can't generate profits immediately. Steady releases of devices are showing our firm commitment as a leader in new markets.'It will be interesting to see if consumers bite. It's fair to say that the original Samsung Galaxy Gear watch wasn't a resounding success, although an enhanced version launching next month might change our perception of that tech.Will Samsung Glass fare any better? Time will tell, but we think it might take a little time before the idea gets anywhere near mass market level.Source: Korea Times

Virus infections build up in strawberry plantings over time. Newly forming leaves on infected plants
are distorted and have various patterns of yellow discoloration. Symptoms become become more severe
over time.
A number of virus diseases may affect strawberry plants. Most are spread by insects, including the strawberry aphid, and all can be spread during vegetative propagation of planting material. These pathogens are microscopic organisms that multiply inside living host cells and spread throughout infected strawberry plants and their daughter plants.
Often the only effect of infection by a single virus is reduced plant vigor and fruit yield. A strawberry plant usually must be infected by more than one type of virus before visible symptoms develop, and yield reductions are more severe when more than one kind of virus is present. It usually takes more than 2 years in the field for the incidence of viruses to reach a level where multiple infections become significant.
Replace plantings regularly with new plants to keep virus diseases from becoming a problem in the
home garden. Although viruses are spread by aphids, insecticide applications to control aphids are
not effective in curtailing virus spread.

The US right wing currently has so much power that it no longer feels the need to justify its form of lawlessness. The concentration of wealth has created a culture of cruelty.
Donald Trump sent his interior secretary to make a pointed threat against Lisa Murkowski over her health care vote.
Speakout is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. Speakout articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
New York, NY – The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court is no longer serving its constitutional function of providing a check on the executive branch's ability to obtain Americans' private communications, concludes a new report released today by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law.
What Went Wrong with the FISA Court finds that dramatic shifts in technology and law have changed the role of the Foreign Intelligence SurveillanceCourt (FISA Court) since its creation in 1978 — from reviewing government applications to collect communications in specific cases, to issuing blanket approvals of sweeping data collection programs affecting millions of Americans.
The conversation on race in our country is changing. Once a subject left to be discussed by civil rights leaders, organizers and a few non-profits, race is now a topic for many. Names like Renisha McBride, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and so many more have led to widespread conversations on race. The numerous anniversaries marking milestones of the Civil Rights Movement and, yes, that the President IS Black also factor in to discussions about the rolerace and racism play in our society.
Yesterday we saw a relatively new entrant into the discussion: Starbucks, in a partnership with USA Today. Starbucks has committed to socially conscious practices in the past including hiring vets, banning open weapons in their stores, and supporting gay marriage. A public dialog on race is new for Starbucks. While we applaud Starbucks for their effort to engage a topic that many seek to avoid, and while their efforts seem well intentioned, we, as a national racial justice organization, with a name similar to the hashtag used in the campaign feel compelled to say: As a nation, we need more.
On Wednesday, March 18, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee scheduled to hold a hearing on the 'The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act,' which, if passed, would overhaul how the federal government regulates chemicals. The bill is a product of negotiations between Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) and Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM), who introduced the bill last week. A new MapLight analysis of campaign contributions and lobbying spending has found that the chemical industry, which strongly supports the new legislation, has dramatically expanded its political spending in recent years.
The chemical industry's top spenders have ramped up their campaign contributions as Congress has started overhauling the government's chemical regulations. During the 2014 election cycle, for instance, the top 10 chemical companies and organizations*, including 3M and the American Chemistry Council among others, contributed more than $1 million to current members of the Senate, including to all 17 senators who sponsored or cosponsored the Udall/Vitter legislation.
According to Glen Stewart, a former lawyer with the Community and Legal Aid Services Program whose service area includes the Jane-Finch community, "Concerns around policing were one of the focal points (31 years ago) and, unfortunately, they've never really gone away. Recently there have been some incidents where youth have been subjects of violence at the hands of police. That, I think, has brought concerns to the forefront again."
In 2002, a survey of youth's sense of safety in the Jane-Finch, Malvern, Regent Park and Parkdale communities identified police violence and drug trade activities as their principal fears.
Reminiscent of the popular movement that led to the resignation of former Brazilian president Fernando Collor de Mello in 1992, instead of "Fora Collor," ("Get Out Collor") protestors are now waving banners with the words "ForaDilma" and favouring the same English word "impeachment" in a bid to oust the South American country's current president, Dilma Rousseff. Both leaders were accused of mismanagement and corruption, with Petrobras, the national petroleum company, at the centre of the criticism against Dilma. Likewise, protestors are numbering at least a million. But the similarity is deceptive. Collor was a member of the wealthy élite who ostensibly ran afoul of the interests controlling Brazil at the time, whereas Dilma, the former revolutionary now at the helm of the country as head of the PT, the leftist Workers Party, is a populist who continues to inspire more wide-spread, albeit less reported, manifestations of support outside of the country's affluent city centres.
According to the MST (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra, Landless Workers Movement) website, differently composed demonstrations also took place this weekend in favour of rooting out corruption at Petrobras, but against privatization of the mostly state owned oil company.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) today introduced the Democracy Restoration Act, which would restore voting rights in federal elections to nearly 4.4 million American citizens with past criminal convictions upon release from incarceration.
The Democracy Restoration Act has garnered broad support from a diverse coalition that includes law enforcement associations, the faith community, racial justice advocates, and civil rights organizations. Versions of the bill were introduced in past sessions of Congress.
House of Cards presents a hidden agenda against social security. President Frank Underwood says "entitlements" are killing the country - and everyone watching House of Cards takes his words as fact. And besides, if it weren't for social security, our streets would be littered with elderly people.
"Medicine Lake is a sacred place and it needs to be protected at all costs," said Pit River Tribal Chairman Mickey Gemmill. "We're trying to preserve our culture and Medicine Lake is part of the beginning of our people. If we allow these corporations to come in and frack, we could lose that chance to bring back that part of our culture. So we're asking the Calpine Corporation to step back and leave the Medicine Lake Highlands alone."
On March 12, the Pit River Tribe and their Native American and environmental allies optimistically left the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco following oral arguments in their long legal battle to protect the Medicine Lake Highlands from geothermal destruction and desecration.
Because of the recent outbreaks of measles in the United States and the re-energized public debate about vaccines and vaccination policy, we're again starting to hear references to the theory of "herd immunity." The theory is the foundation for the mass vaccination campaigns around the world. It currently stipulates that in order to provideimmunity to a population against contagious diseases like measles you must vaccinate at least 95% of the population. Theoretically-speaking, with a vaccination rate of 95%, the diseases should be eradicated.
In an epidemiological review paper titled "Herd Immunity: History, Theory, Practice," written by Paul E. M. Fine and published in 1993, the author notes that the first "published use" of the term herd immunity "appears to have been" in a paper titled "The spread of bacterial infection: the problem of herd immunity," written by W. W. C. Topley and G. S. Wilson and published in 1923. From Fine's paper, it seems that the theory of herdimmunity was originally developed based on some observations with mice and some "simple mathematical formulations," but the paper is unclear about whether the theory was ever validated through some of sort scientific peer review process - as is commonly the case with theories that eventually come to be widely accepted as "proven science."
US officials may have attempted to negotiate the forced return of British resident Shaker Aamer to Saudi Arabia, despite a promise to the UK not to do so, it's been revealed.
Previously-secret documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that in August 2010, less than two months after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told then-Foreign Secretary William Hague that she 'welcomed... discussing Mr Aamer's case', theUS instructed its Saudi embassy on 'engaging Saudi Arabia on Shaker Aamer'. Another document reveals how, at an August 2013 meeting between senior US officials and theSaudi interior minister, Mr Aamer was described as a 'Saudi citizen with significant ties to the UK'.

Foster's Barbecue Sauce/Marinade
Recipe by Monica in PA
I love this sauce because its thin and doesn't have a base of ketchup or mustard. Its a real barbecue marinade/sauce and made to tenderize any meat before grilling. You may also baste lightly while grilling and then serve some on the side with your meal. I found this recipe in the newspaper years ago.

This marinade deserves more than 5 stars! I used this to marinate some pork ribs a couple months ago, they were fantastic, so I am using again today for chicken. This marinade would be great for any kind of meat. Thanks so much for posting, I will definitely be using this over and over again!
