"Stay at Rembrandt Atsugi"
Arrived at 21:30, reservation through Expedia seemed in order until I entered the room and realized they had given me a smoking room. The Expedia choice, in the dropdown indicated non-smoking and to be sure I even requested/entered non-smoking in the comment section of the booking page on Expedia. I called the front desk and requested to change my room, […] first reaction was that they do not have any available, and then they said they do NOT assign/confirm non-smoking room for Expedia reservations! After some insisting, they came up with a non-smoking room but slightly bigger room with a balcony, for which I had to pay an additional amount, not a big deal and worth it to avoid the smoke stench for a whole week! The room was very clean with everything in perfect working order, except no English speaking channels on the TV, but good choice of Japanese shows and cartoons, if you understand Japanese!! The remote control is in Japanese so hard to figure out what you can do with it, until a friend informed me to use a button that changes the satellite band and you can get a small, fuzzy CNN screen, but preferred reading the daily Japan Times for the news. And the hotel has no gym facilities and no arrangements with outside gyms. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

タバコのにおいが気になるGenuine Hotels.com guest review
仕事で利用させていただきました。フロントの方々の対応は、良い印象でした。アメニティなども、必要最小限の物が揃っていましたので、その点は満足でした。ただ一つ残念に感じたのは、浴室のにおいが気になりました。清潔にお掃除されていましたが、部屋に入った直後、浴室に入った時の印象です。アロマなどを置くなど、対応していただけると嬉しいです。 機会がありました際は、また、利用させていただきます。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
駅から近く、雨が降っていても、地下道が近くまで通っているので、あまり濡れない。 不満があるとすれば、シャーワーの水圧が弱かったことです。Genuine Expedia guest review
私が覚えているだけでも2回の名称変更が行われているが、設備の方は更新されていないので古さが目立つ。部屋の壁紙は所々めくれ上がっていたし、いまどき、あのルームキーはないだろう。禁煙プランだったが、実際は喫煙部屋の消臭スプレー対応。数時間ごとに自分で消臭スプレーまいてました。アメニティなどは標準的で特に問題なし。WiFiは仕事で使うにはプア。Genuine Expedia guest review

11/26/14 Groeber-cgr Oberhausen, Germany
The hotel is good. You can reach it by foot within 5min from the Atsugi train station. There stops the peer to peer bus from Haneda airport (needs to be booked before as usually overfilled). The hotel contains everything you need for a business trip I'll. WLAN. Pay attention to the fact that people with more than 1,90m high could have issues with the bath as this is lower. Bus and train connection direct around, as well as shops,

Stayed here for business. My room was clean and comfortable, and I slept well. The rooms were more spacious than other hotels, which was appreciated. It was a few blocks walk to the Hong Atsugi station, which made it convenient to transportation. The area is pretty urban, and the nearby streets are loaded with bars and casual restaurants, so there's no shortage of places to eat or have a drink. I would stay here again.

"OK hotel in Atsugi"
05/07/14 Auburn05 Auburn Hills
I stayed there multiple times. Good for a business trip. Usually clean and neat service. Rooms are smaller compared to western countries but are good size by Japanese standards. Enough room for one person to walk around. Onsite restaurants are little pricey but always consistent. I wish they provide a fitness center. Wifi works only on laptops, it does not work on cellphone/ipad.

"Good Facility and Location"
01/18/14 JamboME Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This hotel is a short walk to Atsugi station and bus terminal. From the airports its possible to ride a non-stop bus to Atsugi. Rolling your bags for the 3-4 blocks to the hotel would not be very hard. There is Still no in-room Wifi. A wireless Ethernet LAN cable is provided. The LAN signal was erratic and sluggish. Some web sites it just did not want to load. Wifi is available in the lobby, but its also pretty weak. Only 1 block to 7-11 and there is an ATM there that takes my US debit cards. If you need cash check right away, as sometimes the network for international banking is down. The room pillows are those super-hard Japanese buckwheat style, and they can double as sandbags during a typhoon! Actually since the pillows are small they fit nicely under my head. Only one pillow is provided, but if you find the cleaning lady and hold up a pillow and make the international sign for "2" (or peace), she will provide another one. A tip to the hotel for improving internet. It is expensive installing wifi coverage throughout the hotel. Consider this: it is possible to purchase and easily install small room wifi units. These small units will plug into your existing LAN, so no installation costs. You could provide them on request, so no need to install them in every room at first. Also, make it a practice to reboot the LAN every night. このホテルでは、厚木駅やバスターミナルに歩いてすぐです。厚木にノンストップバスに乗るその可能空港から。ホテルに3-4ブロックのためのあなたの荷物をローリングすることは非常に難しいことではないでしょう。 全く、室内の無線LANはまだありません。無線イーサネットLANケーブルが提供される。 LAN信号が不安定と低迷した。一部のWebサイトは、それだけでロードする必要はありませんでした。無線LANはロビーで利用できますが、そのこともかなり弱い。 わずか1ブロック7月11日に、私の米国のデビットカードを取りそこにATMがあります。あなたはすぐに現金の確認が必要な場合は、時々国際的な銀行のためのネットワークがダウンしています。 部屋の枕は、これらの超硬質日本ソバのスタイルであり、彼らは、台風時に土嚢を兼ねることができる!枕が小さいので、実際に彼らは私の頭の下にきれいにフィットします。一つだけの枕が提供されていますが、掃除の女性を見つけて、枕を保持し、 「 2 」 (または平和)のための国際手話をした場合、彼女は別のものを提供します。 インターネットを改善するためホテルにヒント。館内全域WiFiカバレッジをインストールする高価です。このことを考えてみましょう:それは小さな部屋の無線LANユニットを購入し、簡単にインストールすることが可能である。これらの小さな単位では、既存のLANに接続していないので、全く設置コストになります。あなたは、リクエストに応じてそれらを提供するので、最初はすべての部屋でそれらをインストールする必要はなかった。 また、毎晩のLANを再起動し実践します。

"Rembrandt Hotel"
10/21/13 Frankkh
Stayed for 6 nights on business. I was not familiar with this hotel and it was recommended by a business associate who had used this hotel for many years prior to moving to Japan. There are no major hotel brands in Hon-Atsugi and you can only find Japanese boutique hotels and I believe Rembrandt is as good as it gets. I arrived late on a Sunday evening, checked in pretty tired after a direct flight from US, got into the room they gave me to find out it was a pretty small, SMOKING room, which I cannot stand. I called the front desk and mentioned that I had booked and requested non-smoking. It appeared that they did not have any, but they did manage to find a slightly bigger room on their non smoking floor (4th) at a slightly higher rate, which I accepted willingly. It was nice not to smell the smoke residue for 6 nights! The room was reasonable, about half the size of a typical US hotel room, good clean bathroom/tub-shower, small fridge, a very small TV with no English channel, although on my last day someone told me about a secret button on the remote (the remote is in Japanese) that gets you a very blurry CNN! Breakfast was not supposed to be included, but somehow they did give it to myself and another colleague at no extra charge (they give you vouchers for each day). There are three restaurants and a bar in the hotel which is nice if you do not want to venture out. My biggest gripe was that the hotel does not have a gym (hard to find in smaller Japanese hotels) and they do not have any arrangements with facilities outside the hotel. There is a very nice, big fitness center close by, from the pictures it looks like a Lifetime Fitness, but I was informed by hotel staff that you have to be a resident of Japan in order to join, there is also a Gold's Gym very close, but did not inquire about that one. The hotel is a few minutes walk from Hon-Atsugi station and close to a lot of restaurants and stores, including 7-Eleven and Lawsons (like 7-Eleven) where you can buy variety of food, necessities, drinks, etc. without breaking the bank. There is a young lady at the hotel front desk (late shift), Mariko (sp?), she speaks fluent English and was very helpful with answering questions, helping with transportation, and she is the one that sorted out my room when I checked in. Other hotel staff speak English but not as fluent.

"Not the greatest, but apparently good for the area"
03/21/13 Jamaica_Jeff Pleasanton, CA
The hotel is old and in need of renovation. The bathroom fixtures are bizarre, and the shower has been set up such that you need to hold the detachable shower head at all times when it could have easily been mounted high and stable so that you didn't need to. The rooms have only wired Internet access, so if you're using a tablet or a MacBook Air you need to go to the lobby to use the wireless. On a positive note, there are good restaurants within walking distance. The restaurants in the hotel are very expensive. Three of us ate a great sushi meal with drinks at a nearby restaurant for what I paid for a meal for one in the hotel's Japanese restaurant. The breakfast buffet is so so as well, but sort of the "only game in town".

"Comfortable Stay in a Good Location"
02/21/13 JamboME Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Very good service here. Rooms tiny, but clean. Internet access is excellent via Ethernet cable. This hotel is not listed on most discount hotel searches. It can be difficult to make reservations as their web site is Japanese only at this time. However the front staff speak English, so you could make reservations via email. A good price for a Japanese busines hotel, just don't have a drink in the bar! its $$$! Breakfast will get you fed western style or Japanese. Its a large buttet and can handle large groups. They often have groups staying here, as well as weddings. Its a short walk to the train station. Also, from Narita or Haneda airport, you can take a bus directly to Atsugi station area, and then walk to the hotel about 3 blocks.

"Average for area"
12/09/12 ReluctantTraveler31 South Pole
Stayed in hotel for 4 nights on a November trip, and 3 nights during a December trip. Room and bathroom quite small, but seem to be average for Japanese standards. The room was somewhat dirty and dingy, and could really use an update (re-wall paper, re-paint). Wifi only in lobby area, ethernet in rooms, which is ok if you are using a lap top, but a bit of a hassle if you are using a smart phone with data roaming off. The breakfast selection is above average (a reasonable selection of western-friendly food), and the lobby and bar are nice. There is no fitness center, but the floors seem to be made of concrete, which allows one to do some excercising in the room without affecting people below (although given the room size, there is a limited amount of movements that one can do). The staff are typically friendly and helpful, and the location is within walking distance of the train station and bus stop. There are also a lot of decent restaurants in the area. Hotel is ok for a short stay, but perhaps something better can be found for longer stays.

Upmarket Japanese small city hotel. Like many Japanense hotels, rooms are pokey and a little dirty. Bathroom on the small side, but not so different to others. Breakfast is good, but can get very crowded. The two restaurants locally are OK, but pricey for the service and quality of food. Staff as always in Japan are friendly and helpful. Could do with a few western TV channels. No wireless in rooms, so no good if you are using i-pad.

06/24/12 globetravelerNL Emmen,
I stayed here for one night in May-2012. Room was Average size compared to Japanes standard, Hotel was meeting to all my minimum requirements for Good guiet sleep, fast internet, enough toilet amneties and good breakfast. I had business in nearby Isehara and was placed in this hotel after consulting Tripadvisor and discuss with my supplier. Actually the city Atsugi itself is nothing to do in evening... do not know for culture and site seeing in close distance on daytime. Would stay here next time again when in the area.

Through the ELP, I was able to learn to speak English spontaneously and confidently. It helped me in my career growth. I recommend JRP to others because it will help them in their personal growth and improve their English.
After taking ELP classes in JRP, I became humbler as I applied what I learned in Conversation Club. Some of the topics in Conversation Club made me value the things I have now. JRP taught me how to be contented in life. I recommend JRP to others because it is the bridge to whatever they want to achieve in life.

Honey Glazed Ham

This ham tastes very much like the famous honey baked ham but costs much less, and there's no need to fight the crowds at holiday time. You can even buy the ham presliced to make it easier and more like the original. It is very good. (I do this while preparing the rest of the meal in the kitchen so that I don't forget to baste!)

Teen battles temptation to say word forbidden by judge
Updated On: Mar 20 2013 12:23:24 PM EDT
An unusual crime resulted in an unusual sentence in Northern Kentucky last month.
On Feb. 9, Park Hills Police Sgt. Richard Webster said he was working an off-duty security detail at a Covington bingo hall when Austyn Whaley, 18, entered the hall with several other teens and yelled "Bingo!"
"This caused the hall to quit operating since they thought someone had won," Webster wrote on his citation. "This delayed the game by several minutes and caused alarm to patrons."
Webster cited Whaley for disorderly conduct.
"He grabbed my hand, handcuffed me (and took) me to the back of his cruiser," Whaley said.
Last week, Kenton District Judge Douglas Grothaus sentenced Whaley by banning him from using one word.
"Do not say the word 'bingo' for six months," Grothaus ordered.
Whaley battled temptation Monday night as he spoke only with WLWT News 5's Laura Borchers.
"I try to say it backwards like 'ognib'. Something along the lines of that," Whaley said.
Whaley's mother Stacy and sister Madeline took a lighthearted approach to the incident.
"An intervention might need to be set up," Madeline said.
His mother said they had to change the dog walking route so Austyn doesn't walk past the bingo hall.
Whaley said the judge and bailiff had a good sense of humor about the case too.
"(The bailiff) wrote down on a piece of paper the word and said, 'What's that word again?' and I said, 'I'm sorry, I can't say that,'" Austyn said.
Still, Austyn had advice for anyone who didn't learn from his mistake. "Kids out there, don't say 'Mingo' in the 'Mingo' Hall."
Whaley could have faced up to 90 days in a jail and a $250 fine on the misdemeanor charge, which will be dropped if he complies with the judge's order.

Originally written on MyTeamRivals.com | Last updated 11/8/14
Before the game, Mark McLemore picked Scott Feldman as his "player to watch." I was already feeling wary about Feldman's start (his last few have been horrendous), and this only made me more nervous. As I've mentioned on here before, Feldman is one of my favorite players. I don't know why. He just is. His rough outings have been as hard on me as they were on him. OK, probably not, but trust me, I was feeling some pain over them. As it turns out, I didn't need to worry about Feldman tonight. He pitched well, especially considering some of the poor defensive plays behind him. That botched doubleplay in the 6th was the worst. It should have ended the inning, but Elvis Andrus made a really bad throw to Michael Young at first base, and Young couldn't make the tag. Sigh. (Elvis botched another double play throw the next inning behind Robbie Ross, so apparently he's not just out to get Feldman. I'm convinced he just doesn't like throwing to Michael Young.) That 6th inning cont

The Look For Less: Drew Barrymore's Asymmetrical Gucci Dress
The Look For Less: Drew Barrymore's Asymmetrical Gucci Dress
by Fashion 28 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Drew Barrymore recently heated up the desert in her asymmetrical Gucci Resort '08. She has a tendency to dress very laid-back, but when she gets dolled up, I fall in love all over again. There's one minor problem in this equation: The asymmetrical frock is way out of my budget. But wait . . . as always, there's a genius look for less!
To see the less expensive version of Drew's dress, read more
I was casually perusing the UO when I was stopped by this Lux Prismatic Dress ($58). It's as close to the Gucci dress as we're going to get. All you need to do is add a patent belt, a brooch and you're good to go, Drew style!

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Republicans revived their bill on the U.S.-Mexico border crisis in dramatic fashion Friday, passing it on a near party-line vote after winning over conservatives with tough new provisions that could threaten deportation for hundreds of thousands of immigrants already working in this country legally. President Barack Obama condemned the Republican action and said he'd act unilaterally, as best he could.
A day after GOP leaders pulled the border bill from the floor in a chaotic retreat, tea party lawmakers were enthusiastically on board with the new $694 million version and a companion measure that would shut off a program created by Obama granting work permits to immigrants brought here illegally as kids. The second bill also seemed designed to prevent the more than 700,000 people who've already gotten work permits under the program from renewing them, ultimately making them subject to deportation.
The spending bill passed 223-189 late Friday, with only four Republicans voting "no" and one Democrat voting "yes." A vote on the second measure was expected later in the night.
"It's dealing with the issue that the American people care about more than any other, and that is stopping the invasion of illegal foreign nationals into our country," said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. "And we got to yes."
But Obama said no. "They're not even trying to solve the problem," the president said. "I'm going to have to act alone, because we do not have enough resources."
Obama said he would reallocate resources where he could, while making clear his options were limited without congressional action.
The moves in the House came on what was to have been the first day of lawmakers' five-week summer recess, delayed by GOP leaders after their vote plans unexpectedly collapsed on Thursday. Senators had already left Washington after killing their own legislation on the border crisis, so there was no prospect of reaching a final deal. But three months before midterm elections, House Republicans were determined to show that they, at least, could take action to address the crisis involving tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors fleeing violence and poverty in Central America to cross illegally into South Texas.
"It would be irresponsible and unstatesmanlike to head home for the month without passing a bill to address this serious, present crisis on the border," said Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
To reach a deal, GOP leaders had to satisfy the demands of a group of a dozen or more conservative lawmakers who were meeting behind the scenes with Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and taking their cues from outside groups such as the Heritage Foundation that opposed earlier versions of the legislation.
These lawmakers objected to sending any more money to Obama without a strong stance against his two-year-old deportation relief program, which Republicans blame for causing the current border crisis by creating the perception that once here, young migrants would be allowed to stay - a point the administration disputes.
House GOP leaders agreed earlier in the week to hold a separate vote to prevent Obama from expanding the deportation relief program, but that didn't satisfy conservatives who held out for stronger steps.
Thursday night, those lawmakers huddled in the basement of the Capitol with new House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., until coming up with a deal ending funding for the deportation relief program as well as making changes to the border bill aimed at ensuring the faster removal of the Central American migrant youths.
Friday morning, as the full Republican caucus met in the Capitol, conservative lawmakers were declaring victory.
"I'm very satisfied," said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, the leading immigration hardliner in the House.
In the end Republicans only lost four of the most conservative members on the vote: Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Paul Broun of Georgia, Stephen Fincher of Tennessee and Walter Jones of North Carolina. The only Democrat to support the bill was moderate Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas.
The GOP plans met with howls of protest from immigration advocates and Democrats, who warned Republicans that they'd be alienating Latino voters for years to come.
"If you tell people that you think they're criminals, that you think they're simply bringing diseases, that they're bringing drugs, then you treat them as invaders, they kind of think you don't like them," said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill. "They're going to believe you don't like them, and they're not going to vote for you."
The new GOP border bill adds $35 million more for the National Guard, which would go to reimburse states for guard deployments. Like earlier versions, it would increase spending for overwhelmed border agencies, add more immigration judges and detention spaces, and alter a 2008 anti-trafficking law to permit Central American kids to be sent back home without deportation hearings. That process is currently permitted only for unaccompanied minors arriving from Mexico and Canada.
The bill would pay for strapped border agencies only for the final two months of this budget year, falling far short of the $3.7 billion Obama initially requested to deal with the crisis into next year. More than 57,000 unaccompanied youths have arrived since October, mostly from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, plus tens of thousands more migrants traveling as families.

Looking At Shanahan

from the New York Times,
"He's a winner," Jagr said. "That's what we were kind of missing last year. We didn't have many guys on the team who won the Stanley Cup, who have been in the finals. You have to go through it, to learn how to play the tough games." Jagr predicts that Shanahan's influence will be felt over the long haul, but many of the younger Rangers are already paying attention. "He's very calm," Lundqvist said. "I like seeing him. There is a lot of respect. With a guy like that, you know all he has accomplished. So you watch him." On the ice at practice, Shanahan has spent his time diligently trying to learn Jagr's idiosyncrasies. He finds his new role challenging, but he is trying to embrace all that it brings.more

from William Houston at the Globe and Mail,
They may seem like unwanted guests, but Pierre McGuire and Glenn Healy are on the cutting edge of hockey broadcasts because of a new role they have created. It's the bench-side commentator, a hybrid of reporter and colour analyst that had its debut in the National Hockey League last season. McGuire, with NBC, and Healy, on Toronto Maple Leafs regional telecasts, set up at ice level between the two benches as part of the play-by-play team. They quickly produced results. In addition to providing quick information on strategies and injuries, they had a front-row seat to the drama and conflict of coaches and players working together under game conditions.continued

Pressure On Dallas

from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
The Stars named Brenden Morrow team captain last week. He has earned the position, coach Dave Tippett said, and many who have watched Morrow said he was born to be a captain. But to pull this switch off, the Stars had to take the "C" away from Mike Modano. And that's a horrible thing to do. Bottom line, it just doesn't happen much in the NHL unless there is a change of coaching staff or a battle within the team. Brett Hull was stripped in St. Louis in his battle with Mike Keenan. Vincent Lecavalier had it taken away in Tampa Bay when they decided it was given to him at too young an age. But to just take the "C" away from the face of the franchise? That's harsh.read on

from Sportsnet:
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been sold, Sportsnet has learned. It is believed the team was bought by Jim Balsillie, owner of Research In Motion (RIM), the Waterloo, Ont.-based company that manufactures Blackberry devices, for a price of $175 million, according to KDKA in Pittsburgh. Balsillie had wanted to move the team to Hamilton at one point but more recently indicated he will keep the team in Pittsburgh.continued added 8:04pm, from the Globe and Mail,
A spokesperson for Mr. Balsillie declined comment last night. However, a source said Mr. Balsillie is expected to be in Pittsburgh Thursday night for the team's opening game against the Philadelphia Flyers. While a deal is expected to be announced shortly before the game, other sources cautioned that last minute details still needed to be worked out and that the agreement could fall apart.more

Q & A With Saskin

from Pierre LeBrun of the CP via Yahoo,
Question: What are your expectations for league revenues this year, in other words, where do you think the salary cap is headed? Saskin: Well I think we're still going to see growth. I don't think we can expect that tremendous, one-year boost above the projected number that we had last year. Last year we exceeded by the projections by over $350 million, which is fantastic but also unusual because there was a lot of uncertainty in the projection.read on

from Terry Frei of the Denver Post,
After a long session with the Ouija board, here are predictions for the 2006-07 NHL season: The Avalanche sellout streak will officially end, prompting many scribes and other media members to opine that it proves this wasn't "a hockey town," after all - just a bandwagon tied to a successful franchise.... After last season's increase, NHL scoring will flatten or slightly decrease.... NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's greatest accomplishment would be to convince the Wirtz family to sell the Blackhawks, but he again won't have the nerve to try it this season....more

Help me Measure specs, multiple overgrips
Hi guys, experts out there, please help me out.
I have a Youtek Ig prestige MP and I love it.
However, my grip is not normal and I do not know how to measure my racket specs. My curiosity made me buy a 1/4th and it felt like a ping pong paddle lol, so eventually I ended up with 4 overgrips on it haha.
I don't have any trouble with it, I like the soft spongy feel. Blister free and very friendly feeling.
After I got my second 1/4th prestige, I noticed that the multiple grips I put on changed the racket. I did some research and found out that an overgrip weighs about 4-6 grams and adding an overgrip is about 1 pt HL to your racket. Not sure how much of that is true but I have 4 wilson pro total, so that is about 20 G, and that would add up to about 357 g on my racket. This would possibly make my racket more headlight? 4 overgrips= roughly 4 pt headlight? Am I measuring this right? I don't have any tools or equipment to measure for any specs.
I just love the feeling with this current set up of my racket including my string TF NRG2 strung at 54. I don't want to lose this kind of great feel in the future when i cant stock up my youtek IG prestige anymore. Because I know for sure that possibly in a year, I will be getting the Graphene prestiege when it becomes on sale, and youtek IG GONE. The Graphene felt a little stiffer and less flexible when I demo'd it. In the future, if the racket doesn't feel right in hand I might go back to 3/8th, but then how can I customize it to the same specs to match my current Youtek IG prestiege? Should I just strip the original grip and put 20 g of tape on it and use leather grip to dead seal it?
What do you guys think?

if you have something like a wood dowel or prism shaped rod, tape measure, and small block such as a deck of cards or book you have a balance board.
Balance the frame on the rod and when level place the block against the frame butt. Remove the frame and measure the distance from the precise balance point to the edge of the block that was in contact with the butt. That's your balance. There's a thread on TT that converts inches/cm to points of balance.
You actually have a lot of different questions in there but the basic answer is yes, extra OGs make the frame more HL. But they also add mass making the frame heavier and therefore harder to swing. When modding a frame here's a good way to think about these factors:
total static weight: over all frame power, stability, and difficulty swinging...heavier is more power, more stable, harder to swing...lighter is less power, less stable, easier to swing
balance: the relative speed of tip/head and butt/hand during swing to contact...more HH means the butt/hand moves fastsr relative to the tip/head...more HL means the butt/hand moves slower relative to tip/head...that's determines how clean your point of contact is...if the balance is too head heavy or too head light your swing to contact will naturally be a little late or early...you can really see this on serve when taking your most relaxed, smooth serve stroke and watching if the ball goes long or short...this is why balance is so unique to each player for any given frame...you arm length and weight is different from other players...a balance that provides solid contact with a given frame is different compared to other players...even using or not using a large, thick wrist band will effect your stroke mechanics so it's best to be consistent there too.
If you're not trying to match multiple frames don't sweat these values. Do what's comfortable and effective. If matching multiple frames then weight, balance, and SW all need to match and distribution of added mass should be as consistent as possible (ie there are multiple ways to get to a given spec and even if the spec is the same value different approaches can feel extremely different.)
As for trying to match feel across multiple, different models, that's usually a fool's errand. Each model has a personality and while two models might be the same in weight, balance, SW and all other specs how the frame is manufactured still leads to differences.

You should be able to use the TW customization tool backwards to figure out what you have now if you have an accurate weight measurement of the overgrips.
I think that the IG Prestige uses the Head pallet system so you could change the pallet if you wanted a bigger grip. You can also add silicone in the handle to make it more headlight instead of using overgrips.
I think that IG Prestige MPs will be available for a while like most popular Head frames and they will certainly be available on the used market. I don't think that the Graphene was all that popular as they went stiffer and a lot of people like the Prestige as a control frame. I'm not going to Graphene. Maybe they'll go softer in the version after Graphene.

The Dagger and the Coin is a fantasy series written by Daniel Abraham. The first novel in the series, The Dragon's Path, was released in 2011. Its sequel, The King's Blood was released in the spring of 2012. The third book, The Tyrant's Law, was released in May of 2013. The fourth book is titled The Widow's House.In ages of the distant past the world was ruled by dragons who united the lands with a network of indestructible jade roads. They also divided the human race into thirteen distinct subspecies. These ranged from the "normal" Firstbloods, to the canine Tralgu, to the insectoid Timzinae. Other sub-races had subtler traits, such as the Dartinae whose eyes glow - even through their eyelids - and Cinnae with their pale, elfin appearance.Now the dragons are no more; victims of a civil war of mutual destruction, the jade Dragon Roads and the divided human race the last remaining traces of their influence. As the story begins the Firstblood kingdom of Antea has declared war upon its former vassal, the Free City of Vanai. Nobleman Geder Paliako is a reluctant soldier and the butt of his comrades' practical jokes. But he soon discovers that the war for Vanai has deeper, darker political motives and he is a pawn in a political game he can't hope to understand, let alone win.Meanwhile, Marcus Wester, a military hero turned mercenary has problems of his own. He has to find a way to guard a merchant caravan fleeing Vanai without his usual soldiers, and one of the cart drivers is hiding his real identity and hauling a cargo worth more to the Anteans than anything else Vanai has to offer.Elsewhere, in the far-flung deserts of Keshet, one monk learns a disturbing truth about the goddess he worships and others make plans for her return...

DEFINITION of 'Public Purpose Bond'
This type of bond is used by municipalities to finance public works facilities and improvements. However, the vast majority of the benefit provided by the project being financed by a public purpose bond must be directed at the public at large, and not at private individuals. Public Purpose Bonds are generally employed to fund such projects as road construction and maintenance, libraries, swimming pools and other municipal facilities.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Public Purpose Bond'
As with all other types of municipal bonds, the interest paid from Public Purpose Bonds is exempt from federal income taxes (and often state and local taxes as well). Public Purpose Bonds were first defined in the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Municipalities that are authorized to issue this type of bond must have the ability to tax their residents, plus eminent domain or police power.

Today has been one of those days.....
the kind of day that leaves me empty and discouraged and hopeless-
Today I have difficulty believing that I will ever be a mother.
A month ago, I underwent a hysteroscopic/laporoscopic surgery to diagnose and fix some of the issues we are facing in trying to conceive a child.
The surgery went well and the outcome was good, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.
I hoped to hear that the issues had been resolved and we would soon be expecting our first child.
The problem we were hoping to fix was nonexistent,
but what they did find were endometrial adhesions,
windows in the lining of my uterus,
and a cyst on one of my ovaries.
They cleaned everything out, and made my uterus look absolutely lovely. :)
but what they did find were endometrial adhesions,
windows in the lining of my uterus,
and a cyst on one of my ovaries.
They cleaned everything out, and made my uterus look absolutely lovely. :)
But still, I am discouraged.
Yesterday, my doctor smilingly instructed me to keep trying to conceive for the next six months.
Hopefully, in that time I will become pregnant and all will be right with the world.
But what if it doesn't happen?
My wounded heart is so afraid of being hopeful.
Dare I hope?
Dare I make myself vulnerable again?
Deferred hope makes the heart sick.
My heart is so sick.
I can relate to Jacob.
Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to wrestle a blessing out of God.
Only, unlike Jacob, I don't come away with a blessing, just a limp.
{Genesis 32:22-32}
I am angry-
Clenched fists and hot tears angry.
When my prayers and pleadings continue unanswered,
I slip into believing that the Lord has forgotten me, that he is unjust.
Over the summer months, when my husband was deployed, the Lord showed me how angry and bitter I have been against him.
Although I will always know without a shadow of a doubt that God is good, in the secret corners of my heart I am overwhelmed with fear and doubt.
What if he isn't?
What if he never gives me what I have pleaded and wept for?
My heart fails me.
I am overcome with fear.
Does he really love me?
How can he be good when he withholds what is good and right from his children?
Like the disciples in the boat on a raging sea,
my heart tossed two and fro and filled with fear, screams-
"Do you not care that I am perishing?!"
"Peace! Be still!"
He commands my stormy heart.
"Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"
Because I, like the disciples, doubt that he really loves me, doubt that he even cares, doubt that he is really good.
But he does. And he is.
In her book Hannah's Hope, Jennifer Saak wrote:
"To look at my current circumstances and accuse God of making a mistake would be like trying to see the finished picture in a single piece of a complex puzzle. The blurs of color are senseless on their own, but when my piece is placed with all the rest, the entire beautiful masterpiece is pulled together. God sees the big picture from beginning to end. I can only see my little piece right now."
He never fails me.
He never abandons me.
In fact, Psalm 56:8 says,
He never abandons me.
In fact, Psalm 56:8 says,
"You have recorded my troubles.
You have kept a list of my tears.
Aren't they in your records?"
Once again my soul is at rest. My spirit is quiet.
And I trust in his goodness and his love.
When will I stop fighting?
When will I stop doubting?
When will I stop doubting?
The Lord is good and just and righteous.

He has a B.Sc. Economic from the London School of Economics. He has a M.Sc Administrative Sciences from the London Graduate Business Center, City University, London. Saeed Shah, President Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Sajid from QAU, Dr. Ummar and Dr. Jamil from NUST and Dr. Shaukat from MAJU. Speakers highlighted various aspects of Bioinformatics and its application. They said the need for using mathematical algorithms and information management tools arises from an explosion of data in various fields of biology. In the past one-decade, new technologies have enabled scientists to produce large databases of genomic data, of man and other species, protein sequences, expression of genes, population genetics studies, crop varieties information, etc. These projects have suddenly transformed biology into a data rich science. New methods are therefore required for data capture, data mining and data visualization. Bioinformatics is an emerging field of science that combines biology, statistics and computer sciences to solve biological problems. It has application in drug discovery, genomic and protein analysis and particularly in biotechnology, said Ali Raza Saeed. He appreciated the IIU for creating awareness about this technology and assured full support of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the IIU in its endeavours to cope with latest technologies. Parveen Qadir Agha, Vice President IIU speaking on the occasion said that the IIU is all out for adopting latest technologies and for that university is paying more and more attention.

Have your flu jab before the year's out; HEALTH TARGET: Nearly half the over-65s in city still need vaccinating.
OLDER people are being urged to get their flu jabs in time to protect themselves this winter.
So far, only 55percent of over-65s in Coventry have had their vaccinations - but Coventry Teaching PCT has to get at least 70 per cent of that group vaccinated by the end of the calendar year.
Last year, it achieved 71 per cent.
The jabs are available to all over-65s, anyone with a serious health condition, carers of the elderly and disabled, front-line healthcare workers and other at-risk groups.
Health bosses think the main reason for the low uptake this year is down to a national delay in distributing the vaccines early in the campaign, which led to a widespread shortage.
Peter Hodder, director of primary care for the PCT, said: "At the start of the flu vaccination campaign we experienced problems with the supply chain which meant that not all practices in the city were getting their vaccines in at the speed and quantity we have seen in previous years.
"Now, however, most vaccine supplies are through, so patients shouldn't delay in making an appointment with their GP surgery for their vaccination.
"Since the vaccination is the only protection against the flu, those who have not already arranged to have their jab for whatever reason are really encouraged to do so."
People eligible for the vaccination include those with a serious heart or chest complaint, including asthma, kidney disease sufferers, people with a lowered immunity due to disease or treatment such as steroid medication or cancer treatment, and parents of at-risk children.
PROTECTION... Flu injections are recommended for older people.
