Nice hotel. Would stay again.
Posted Jun 26, 2014Pros: Staff, pool, and cleanliness.
Cons: Larger tv, or exsisting tv mounted up on wall.
Location: Close to shopping and resturants.
Nice place to stay when away from home. Staff friendly, rooms clean. Could use a little bit larger tv, or have the tv mounted on wall, so that it is a little easier to watch. Pool was nice extra.

Quaint converted home just off of Bourbon Street
Posted May 11, 2014 on Hotels.comWe enjoyed our stay at the Inn on St. Ann very much. This is a converted historic home, so we were not expecting the modern convenience of a standalone hotel. Even so, the rooms have been tastefully updated with modern bathrooms, linens, high-quality toiletries, etc. Each room is different, and there is no elevator, so if you have a special request like a ground-floor room or courtyard access, be sure to book early and call ahead to ensure they can meet your needs for accommodation. The staff will bend over backward to ensure you have a comfortable stay! The location cannot be beat. Close to everything but far enough to sleep through the night.

nice little hotel
Posted Mar 29, 2014 on Hotels.comThis hotel is easy to find and is situated in the middle of town. It is a small but clean place to stay. The room was large with a nice t.v.The bathroom door hung up on the floor a bit and I would have liked having a thicker quality towel. Microwave and fridge is a plus.

Cons: dirty carpets and curtains
Location: the location was convenient to everything
We had reservation and would have thought the air would have been on before arrival. The room was so hot and stuffy, we had to leave for an hour and a half before we could stay in it. The curtain rod was falling so the curtain covered the air conditioner. The curtains were stained and nasty and the carpet looked like it had not been vaccumed in months. The grounds and the pool area looked nice and clean. It was not worth the amount I paid for this room!

With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.
Dodge has already shared all of the relevant information about its all-new 2013 Dart GT, but it wasn't until now that we've seen the car, live and in person. The slightly meaner front fascia and bigger wheels look great on the Dodge, and the red-on-black perforated seats are sporting in an aftermarket sort of way.
To recap: The Dart GT also gets a bit more power, using a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine to make 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. A starting price of $20,995 will get you LED taillights, dual exhaust, an 8.4-inch touchscreen and a 7.0-inch TFT display.
Feel free to re-acquaint yourselves with the full Dodge Dart GT information in the press release below, or have a leisurely browse through our gallery of live images.
We have good news, and we have bad news. First, the good: It's now possible to get a brand-new Dodge Viper roadster, which is nice, considering we're in the dead of summer and many of us like wind-in-the-hair motoring. Now, the bad: This is not a factory option from the automaker, instead coming courtesy of an aftermarket company called Prefix Performance, and that means it's going to cost you some serious coin.
Called Medusa, this drop-top Viper was created without the knowledge or consent of Dodge, but that's probably fine because Prefix works with the automaker already for the final preparation of the American supercar, including paint. According to the company, the current, fifth-gen Viper was built with a convertible version in mind, so no chassis strengthening is required. From the looks of the somewhat grainy photos available, the conversion appears of very high quality.
Want one? Well, that means you're going to need to procure a Viper - Prefix has 10 units ready for transformation as it stands - and that's going to cost at the very least $102,485. Then, you'll need to write a check for an additional $35,000 for Prefix to surgically remove the car's roof. Thing is, for that kind of cash, a prospective owner could buy, among other very nice options, a Viper hardtop and a loaded Miata, or a Corvette Stingray convertible and several pockets full of change. Or, perhaps a new Viper hardtop and a used, first-gen Viper convertible?

Living by a Mother's Rule of Life
Holly Pierlot on Order for the Sake of the Vocation
MORRELL, Prince Edward Island, OCT. 11, 2005 (Zenit) - As a home-schooling mother of five, Holly Pierlot felt like she had three full-time jobs: mother, homemaker and teacher.
She reached her breaking point on New Year's Day 2000, but was brought back from the brink by a new way of ordering her life and answering God's call.
Pierlot, 44, outlines her plan of saving grace in "A Mother's Rule of Life: How to Bring Order to Your Home and Peace to Your Soul" (Sophia). She shared with us how others can reprioritize and revitalize their vocations.
Q: Why did you develop "A Mother's Rule of Life"?
Pierlot: Like many moms, I felt like my life was in overload -- I had too much on my plate and not enough time to do it all.
As a home-schooling mom, I felt like I had three full-time jobs: my mothering, my housework and the schooling -- and that there wasn't enough of me to go around. I am sure mothers who work in and out of the home can relate to this too!
Such a situation meant quite a bit of personal frustration with life, as not only were my daily duties all-consuming and often never completed, but I never seemed to have time to myself, nor enough time to pray.
If I did do something just for me, I did it in rebellion, meanwhile watching the housework pile up and my spirits sink simultaneously.
I felt like I was in a maze with no way out, but realized at a certain point that God is a God of order -- and that it probably wasn't in his plan for me to be strung out all the time. I was looking for the illusive "peace" promised in the Gospel, and through grace, realized that perhaps I needed to change the way I approached my life.
Q: How did you create a pattern for living that combines the spiritual wisdom of the monastery with the practical wisdom of motherhood?
Pierlot: One evening I realized that I had to apply myself to my vocation -- that it was a calling from God, a job, and that he wanted me to devote my attention to this job to the best of my abilities with the same attention and care and solicitude that a CEO ran a company.
That understanding led me to adopt a Rule of Life, which is a conscious fulfillment of the responsibilities of one's vocation, worked out in a reasonable fashion.
I based my Mother's Rule on the wise words of a priest who told me about the five "Ps" or priorities of the married vocation -- Prayer, Person, Partner, Parent and Provider -- in this hierarchical order.
I analyzed what these priorities involved and worked them into a basic schedule that would ensure I was doing all my jobs well!
Q: How is your "Rule" more than simply a schedule?
Pierlot: A Rule of Life differs from a schedule in two main ways.
First, it deals with the essential responsibilities of one's vocation, determined by the charism and apostolate of my specific calling. But secondly, the difference lies in the intent.
I can follow a schedule to get things done, or to please myself. But to follow a Rule is to live one's life as a response to the call of God with the intent of saying "Yes" to all God asks of me, just like the Blessed Mother when she said "Behold the handmaid of the Lord."
In my Rule, it is God himself who asks "Will you go put on a load of laundry" and my "Yes" to him thus makes all that I do holy and supernatural, no matter how mundane it appears on the surface.
Q: How can your "Rule" be personalized for other women in their particular circumstances?
Pierlot: I tried to present in "A Mother's Rule of Life" basic questions that each woman can ask herself to tailor-make a Rule suited to her unique personality, family situation and circumstance.
By asking herself simple and essential questions, any woman can work out her own Rule, whether she has many or few children, or works in or outside of the home.
A Rule of Life is applicable to all lay persons, dads and single persons too, as well as religious and priests.
Q: What fruit have you seen from ordering life and home in this manner?
Pierlot: A Rule of Life has so many benefits: Life calms down; my work gets done; my home is in order. The family is more peaceful. I have time for prayer and personal time. My spiritual life takes on a deeper meaning. God comes.
I believe living a Mother's Rule is as God intends motherhood to be lived -- for the fruits of happiness and peace are gifts he wants to give us. A Rule helps us access those gifts.
Q: Do you ever go off your Rule?
Pierlot: Being human, I do fall from time to time, and often without being aware that I have slacked off or gotten off track. But all of a sudden I notice the overwhelmed feelings are back and I think, "Hey! I've slipped!"
Fortunately, with a Rule of Life, getting back on track can begin immediately -- for it's only a decision away -- and I begin to feel the joy and peace of orderly living once again.

Leading provider of independent valuations, Valuation Research Corporation (VRC) says it has been engaged by the Panama Canal Authority to value the locks, dams, power plants and other structures of the canal for insurance purposes. This is VRC's second valuation engagement with the authority. In 2004, VRC was engaged to provide a comprehensive valuation in connection with financing the Canal's expansion. "We are very pleased to once again work with the Panama Canal Authority," said Richard Nordberg, Managing Director. "Our past valuation of the underlying assets and canal business enterprise has put us in a good position to provide a current value for the physical assets of the canal." In its 100th year, the Panama Canal is still considered one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken. The Canal extends approximately 50 miles, through the Isthmus of Panama, from the twin ports of Cristobal-Colón on the Atlantic Ocean side to the port of Balboa (near Panama City) on the Pacific Ocean side. It is a globally significant landmark that benefits from the exponential increase in global trade. In its last engagement for the Panama Canal Authority, VRC provided valuations of the operating assets, including the power generation and transmission lines, the water utility system, the lock system and the railroad assets, to help the Authority obtain financing for its expansion. "This engagement is an important undertaking for our firm and we appreciate the opportunity to assist the Canal Authority in the valuation of an asset that is a tremendous engineering achievement and provides a significant economic contribution to the region," said Nordberg. VRC furnishes expert and independent opinions of value for solvency, fairness, business enterprises, intangible assets, capital stock, equity interests, real estate, and fixed assets.

Police Arrest Suspect In Fatal Yorktown Hit-And-Run
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police said they have a suspect in custody in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Westchester County.
Georgia Turner, 73, was fatally struck near the driveway of her home on East Main Street in the Jefferson Valley section of Yorktown Thursday evening.
Police believe she had just returned home from work when she was hit.
Turner had parked her Ford Explorer on East Main Street some distance from her home which has a steep, icy driveway, CBS 2's John Slattery previously reported.
"Was walking up the street and had made it to the mouth of her driveway when she was struck by a vehicle and ultimately killed," Yorktown Police Lt. Robert Noble said.
Police said the suspect was pulled over in Yorktown Friday night after two officers noticed damage to his car, CBS 2 reported.
The man has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in a fatality.
According to acquaintances, Turner, who lived alone, had raised several sons. She also worked for a number of years at a pet supply store, Feed Barn, in Mahopac.

Power Chip's Ultra-low Quiescent Current Extends Battery Life In MCU-based Systems
DALLAS, July 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a multi-mode power management unit (PMU) that enables ultra-low, total system quiescent current as low as 100 nA, which minimizes power consumption in battery-powered, microcontroller-based water and gas meters and other industrial applications. The TPS65290 PMU manages all power requirements in the system, including load conditions from 100 nA to 500 mA. To order free samples, visit: www.ti.com/tps65290-pr.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130715/DA47011-INFO)
The TPS65290 PMU incorporates three factory configurable "always-on" power supplies for microcontroller (MCU) sleep mode and an automatic function for choosing power from either the input voltage or buck-boost converter. In addition, the TPS65290 operates seamlessly with TI's ultra-low power MSP430 MCUs, such as the MSP430F5328.
Key features and benefits of the TPS65290:
- Extend battery life: Designers can develop systems to last beyond 10 years on a single battery by taking advantage of the new PMU's low-power, always-on bias supply for MCU sleep mode with the following three factory-selectable options:
- 10-mA, 100-nA quiescent current (IDDQ) sleep mode, leakage current bias controller with preset voltage.
- 10-mA, 400-nA IDDQ low-dropout regulator (LDO).
- 30-mA, 300-nA IDDQ buck converter.
- Minimize board footprint, number of components and cost: Integrates a 500-mA buck-boost converter, 150-mA LDO, eight power distribution switches, input voltage recovery comparator, state machine, and factory-selectable SPI/I2C interface onto one 20-mm 2 power management chip.
- Configurable for multiple applications: Extensive EEPROM configurations and programmable output voltages allow designers flexibility to optimize their systems' output voltage.
- Check out TI's broad portfolio of Smart Grid solutions.
- Download the Power Management Units for Embedded Processors selection guide.
- For help and more resources to aid design-in, read Selecting output filter capacitors in high-efficiency, pulse-skipping mode on TI's Power House blog.
- Ask questions and help solve problems in the Power Forum in the TI E2E™ Community.
- Find hundreds of reference designs for any application in the PowerLab™ Reference Design Library.
