Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deedster Great value, great service The Ashton tables promptly arrived in great condition. They were carefully packaged and lightweight. We like the pewter color which blends nicely with our decor as well as the convenience they provide. Heartily recommend! May 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy01 Love! Absolutely love these tables. Didn't want a coffee table, but needed something for guests to put their drinks down. Easily stored as an accent table with lamp and just as easy to pull out when needed. Great industrial look, quality, and utility. Will definitely recommend. August 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by deb55 Mutiple uses for these nesting tables. I purchased these table nesting tables to use in my family room, they have quickly become a favortie with the grandchildren for snacks, puzzels and lap tops. They are very sturdy yet light enough to be moved easily. They look great and have multiple uses! April 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by lbenton Modern and Sophisticated! Loved these tables! Ordered these tables to create a modern and sophisticated lounge and the worked out perfectly. Great value as you get three tables. Very chic and easy to clean. Delivered quickly and in great shape. Very lightweight and easy to move around! April 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Debby55 LOVE these tables! I first saw these in the store and knew they'd be a perfect addition to our house. I use them separately in two rooms. If you're looking for low profile, contemporary/ industrial end tables these are great! And the price can't be beat. Purchased online - they arrived quickly in excellent condition. I strongly recommend these! December 19, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by LoveWM1 Disappointed I bought these tables after reading the good reviews online. Unfortunately, I didn't see them before buying and have learned to not buy furniture online, no matter what kind of bargain it seems. I thought these looked very cheap, not like metal, more like a plastic top. I returned them to my local store, only to learn if I returned them in the box to the shipper my shipping costs would be refunded. Learned a lot of lessons here. January 28, 2016

DNREC's Division of Fish and Wildlife is advising wetland visitors on how to avoid ranavirus, a disease found in Delaware frogs and known to affect amphibians, reptiles and fish.
The disease can spread from animal to animal with a minimal amount of contact; one study demonstrated transmission of ranavirus to a healthy salamander after just seconds of contact with an infected individual. "The virus can also be spread via water, in soil and on the boots, nets and gear of humans,"said Holly Niederriter, wildlife biologist with the Species Conservation and Research Program.
Here are some ways to disinfect gear and protect wildlife:
- Clear debris from boots/nets/gear (scrape off mud/debris and spray with water)
- Spray with five percent beach/water solution (minimum concentration) - leave on for five minutes
- Rinse boot/nets/gear with water to remove bleach
- If possible, lay boots/nets/gear out in sun when you get home. Desiccation helps kill some pathogens; ,ove at least 60 yards from the wetland before spraying with bleach solution
For more information: (302) 735-8651.

Using school safety marshals isn't the answer
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
The tragic deaths of 20 children along with six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December put guns in the forefront of the national discussion. Sometimes it takes a horrific crime to force people to take a stand on contentious issues like gun control. One interesting fallout from the Newtown tragedy has been the divergent views about the role of guns in American society, with one side arguing for more restrictions on guns and the other side seeking wider availability.
President Obama is leading the push to place some limits on guns, especially a ban on assault weapons. The National Rifle Association takes the opposite position and argues against limits, often citing the Second Amendment. The debate plays out on The Dispatch's opinion page through letters to the editor and columns as well.
State Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, has also entered the fray. Bingham introduced a bill in the General Assembly that would place "school safety marshals" in schools if local boards of education so chose. The marshals would have to be certified and trained and meet a minimum level of firearms training in crisis situations. Legislators in other states have introduced similar bills that would put more guns into schools by allowing teachers and other personnel to carry them.
One positive aspect of Bingham's bill is the decision would be left to local school boards, rather than be mandated from a state level. The emphasis on training also heads down the right path. But overall the bill is a bad idea that needs to die in committee.
Many schools already have school resource officers patrolling them. A better route would be for the state to authorize funding for school systems to increase the number of SROs in schools, especially in elementary schools and middle and high schools that now share an officer. Asking local systems or counties to fund an increase would wreak already constrained budgets.
The risk of innocent bystanders being hit by gunfire in a shootout between an intruder and a school safety marshal can't be ignored. Yes, that could also happen with an SRO. But an SRO is a trained professional who would be best equipped to make decisions about the use of deadly force. Others worry about an authorized gun falling into the wrong hands in a school or being used inappropriately, also valid concerns.
Most Americans are looking for a silver lining to come from the Newtown tragedy. One that is already occurring involves the dialogue taking place about tough issues like gun control, mental health, violent video games and school safety. So Bingham deserves credit for playing a role in that debate. But a better focus would be finding ways to keep guns from making it into schools in the first place rather than allowing more inside the walls.

|Idaho inks three
Three swimmers have committed to compete for the University of Idaho next fall and, coach Tom Jager says, it is a group that will add depth and talent to the Vandals.
Among the three is Moscow, Idaho, product Erica Anderson, who is joined by Spokane's Rachel Millett and Laura Griffing from Kodiak, Alaska.
Anderson, who competed for the Moscow Bears are well as the Moscow-based Gold Medal Swim Club, was the 2009 North Idaho Female Swimmer of the Year after a junior season during which she was a team captain and state relay team record holder.
"Erica is a local product with incredible upside," Jager said. "I know she will flourish in our program. I enjoyed watching her grow up in the GMSC swim program and I know I will enjoy coaching her at the next level."
In addition to her athletic achievement, she earned the President's Award for her academic accomplishments and was the second alternate in the Moscow Junior Miss program. For GMAC, she was the Western Zones team captain.
"Erica is one of the most personable people you will ever meet," Jager said. "She is a tall, strong swimmer who will give everything for her team."
Spokane's Millet comes to Idaho from the Spokane Waves Aquatic Team, where she is known for her all around ability and leadership as a team captain.
"Rachel is one of the best swimmers ever to come out of Spokane," said Jager of Millet, who graduates from Ferris High School this spring as an AP Scholar. "She is a great all-around swimmer with no weak event. She will be an impact swimmer in the Western Athletic Conference.
"Rachel swims with a lot of heart and that fits into our team well."
Griffing is a four-time state champion and record holder in the 100 breaststroke as well as the team captain and Most Valuable Swimmer for Kodiak High School for two years. She is the first swimmer from the Kodiak Kingfishers to qualify for Junior Nationals. Additionally, she is a member of the National Honor Society.
"Laura is a tough kid," Jager said. "She is talented and tough - two qualities I look for when recruiting swimmers or divers."

Ok lady..I just found your blog this morning. I have been frantically trying to see EVERYTHING, I am completely hooked and I'm not sure if I will be able to stop anytime soon. I already knew I loooooved this blog. Then I saw THIS! Two bulldogs and two cats?!? I am a lifelong Bulldog owner. I adore those precious-mushy-droopy-squishy-slobbery-baby beasts.. We have an Olde English, Boston Terrier, and an American bulldog..Usually there is a Boxer (or two) but my last Boxer baby left us last year :( Bulldogs (any type) are just the best, aren't they? And pair them with a spunky cat or two? Hours and hours of entertainment!
Your babies are precious and your blog is FAAAABULOUS! I so look forward to reading more.

Video game consoles ebb and flow like any other piece of technology in this world, rising and falling in popularity based on the latest-and-greatest system and the next must-have game. The evolution is so quick that we often forget there was a time when Nintendo was the undisputed king, when the PlayStation was considered groundbreaking for using compact discs, and when Sega still was doing something other than milking that blue hedgehog for all he's worth. Needless to say, video games have come a long way from the heyday of cartridge-based functionality and eight-bit, 2D side-scrolling masterpieces. However, just because a game is old and was made for a defunct system, that doesn't mean it isn't still fun.
That's where emulators come in. An emulator is essentially a piece of software for your computer that functions as a virtual console, allowing you to play ROM files that work in a similar fashion to digital copies of your favorite cartridges or discs. The software is pretty easy to obtain — many emulators are freeware distributed as zip files — but downloading your ROM files online presents a legal quandary since you might not actually own the game in question.
Regardless, here are our go-to picks for the best video game system emulators so you can relive those beloved classics or experience the youth you never had. Keep in mind that although the emulation software for a particular console does its best to mimic the original hardware, it will be flawed and never truly replicate that experience you had as a kid. But it sure can try.
Updated 5-13-2015 by Brendan Hesse: This article has been updated to include emulators for PSP, Sega Dreamcast, and Nintendo DS, as well as minor updates to reflect existing emulator functionality.

Photos by Seher Sikandar and Ashleigh Reddy.
Bare legs and beautiful people, music blasting from every doorway, epic parties with blow up rafts for crowd surfing, and more good eats than you can count on your fingers and toes, South by Southwest (SXSW) is the epitome of camp for adults. Above, take a little peek into our time at SXSW with this photo slideshow from some of our favorite shows!
We'll leave you with a couple fun top 5 lists of our SXSW highlights – our top 5 performances and our top 5 places to eat!
Top 5 Performances
Alice Smith – The woman can sing her behind off, first of all. Every time we've seen her perform it's all heart and soul – you watch her feel the spirit and are compelled to be moved by it right alongside her. Just epic. She also sang a few new cuts off of her upcoming album that will be coming out this year – and yes, they are amazing.
Michael Kiwanuka – Another magnificent voice. As we walked up the stairs to the church Michael was performing in, we couldn't help but find ourselves in disbelief yet again at the voice emanating from the stairway and the walls – we had to be in a time warp, right? Was that voice really coming of this humble young man in 2012? Once we entered the room of jam packed pews, we became witnesses to our seeming fantasy becoming reality. Simply beautiful.
THEESatisfaction – So much flavor and heaps of attitude, these ladies are entertainers. With lyrics about bisexuality and racial identity, they also aren't afraid to push the envelope and talk about things that actually matter. The melodic, often dense, dark, throbbing sound enraptures you like you never knew how you were without it before.
Erykah Badu – Anyone that's seen a few Badu shows knows that no one show is ever the same. The lady can fill up a stadium with charm enough to make you think she was your homegirl talking just to you. In her home state, Erykah does not play – at all. The energy was the livest of live and we took it all in.
Rick Ross – Rawse at the Fader Fort. What else is there really left to say? Call and responses reduced to grunts and a hysterical crowd of hipster fans = everything you'll ever need in life.

Full SubmissionSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIES A proposal for UNCSD2012 Zero Draft (Input to Compilation Document): Thematic Area: Green economy in the context of sustainable development and Poverty eradication Submitted by Centre for Environment and Development and behalf of Climate Sustainability PLATFORM and Supporting Organizations Introduction: The proposal for a green economy has lead to division even amongst the environmentally sensitive and conscious groups and sections. This is due to an unsuccessful attempt to repackage and resell sustainable development. The new attempt to present a green economy as a tool for sustainable is now looked with suspicion by many needs to be resolved by the time UNCSD convenes in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. The following is a proposal to help and guide the process towards creating a more acceptable proposal on the agenda item on ?Green economy in the context of sustainable development and Poverty eradication? Replacing the Greed Growth Economy - Not to Green Wash the Brown � The core consideration should be if the Green Economy can replace the greed based economic order and help us face the challenge of climate change and poverty? � Any attempt to green wash the brown economy should be halted. Therefore, simply making adjustments to polluting technologies and wasteful consumerist market instruments should not be considered as part of a green economy � Creating a monopoly on the green technology to dominate a green growth-based market economy should not be promoted. All people should have equitable access and capacity to enjoy green, clean and sustainable technologies within an emerging green economic system. Not Just a Single Economy! Sustainable Economies! � The green economic system should not promote a single and monopolistic model of a green technology, green market, and Intellectual Property Rights dominated economy. � The green economy should be viewed as a networked system of decentralized, community based, sustainable economies in a diversity. � Such a system of sustainable economies should be connecting the rainbow economies across the world and the core idea is that all economies are made sustainable, not just a monopolistic and dominant global economy. Foundations of a Sustainable Economic System � Foundations for sustainable economies based green economic system should be based on a common vision for an ?equity? based world order. � Such a system should be committed towards creating ?wellbeing of all? � Such a system should promote ?sustainable consumption & production patterns? � Such a system should move from a mere ?efficiency? focus to ?sufficiency? based ?sustainable development? paradigms � Such a system should helps achieve Climate Sustainability which is to eradicate all kind of poverty and threats to the environment. � Such a system should not encourage vertical growth for the creation of few rich and a consuming class, but promote horizontal growth so the wealth is distributed for wellbeing of all. � Such a system should also need to know define limits to green growth in prosperity.

Dr. Pol is my favorite show!
By Kim
from Ohio
About Me Casual Viewer
Comments about The Incredible Dr. Pol Season One DVD-R:
I watch it on Saturday evening as Nat Geo for some reason isn't showing Dr. Pol like they did. I miss the show and so I bought the first and second seasons to watch whenever there is nothing on TV that interests me. I hope they put him back on soon. I haven't had a "favorite show" forever, until now. I love animals and have several of my own. I'm a big fan of the people on the show.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Negligence - incompetance
By tm
from il
An example of how veterinary care should NOT be. The vets in the show were all put on probation for negligence and incompetance. It gives the public a very unfortunate view of veterinary care.This is not personal information, it is public information available at the michigan.gov board website - lara documentsBrenda Sue Grettenberger, 69-01-007301 05/26/2012D.V.M.Weidman, MIProbationNegligence - IncompetenceJan H.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your interest in our products and the concern that prompted you to write. Our producers wish to respond that it is an undisputed fact that Dr. Pol has helped thousands of animals throughout his 40-year career as a veterinarian. His very successful clinic has been in business for 30 years, where residents of Michigan count on him to help their sick pets and farm animals. The recent fine placed on Dr. Pol is due to an administrative complaint, not malpractice or misdiagnosis. He will regularly see patients, and within one month will have taken a three-day course, lifting the probation.

Love Dr. Pol
By cat lady
from Oxford, AL
About Me Avid Moviegoer
I love all the vet shows. I have several collections of different vet shows and watch them all over and over again. Dr. Pol brings old world charm, work ethic and genuine concern both for the patient as well as the owner. You would never believe Dr. Pol is 70 and still going strong. He will never retire.

Good Show
By Karen - Tiger
from Farwell, MI
The show is awesome and educational. I am familiar with most of the farmers so made it a little more entertaining for me. The only problem I had was the cd got to the last show and froze. I did call customer service and they are going to send me another copy as soon as it is available. I have yet to receive and am waiting patiently to see the last episode.

Before I got the gauge rod set,I used a starett small hole gauge to measure.
I recommend a headspace go guage for accuracy. If you don't have either the small hole gauge or rod set, you could use nice drill rear shanks to get one tight and then use a micrometer to measure. Start with a loose one and wiggle front and back to tighten up the fit, then pick a snug fitting bit. Hopefully you have a full set of drills, letter, number, decimal, and maybe metric to work from. A small hole gauge works pretty good, but the guage rod set is tighter and much faster.

|Vandals fall in quarterfinal
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - New Mexico State shot 60.0 percent from the field and the Idaho men's basketball team couldn't keep up as the Aggies beat the Vandals 65-49 in the Western Athletic Conference quarterfinals Thursday afternoon.
The Vandals trailed by 12, 42-30, five minutes into the second half when they began to make a push. A 7-0 Idaho run cut NMSU's lead to just five points at 42-37, but the Aggies responded with an 11-4 run of their own to build the lead back to double-digits with less than eight minutes to play. The Vandals pulled within eight at 57-49 with four minutes to play, but never got closer.
Idaho senior Kyle Barone went 8-for-10 from the field and finished with 19 points while sophomore Connor Hill added 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
"It's tough when it ends, no question about it, especially when you've coached a guy like the one to my right," Idaho coach Don Verlin said, referring to Barone. "It is always hard for the seniors because we've had four seniors who've really given a lot to this program."
Daniel Mullings led the Aggies with 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting. He added three rebounds, three steals and an assist in the game. Bandja Sy added 14 points and seven rebounds for NMSU.
"New Mexico State wore us down with their pressure and athleticism during the second half," Verlin said. "When they needed to make the plays at the end of the shot clock they did. Too many turnovers and too many easy baskets led to us getting beat tonight."
Idaho connected on 40.0 percent of its shots in the game, but just 3-of-19 3-pointers (15.8 percent). Each team had 26 rebounds and Idaho had nine of those on the offensive glass, leading to a 14-5 advantage in second-chance points. The Vandals committed 16 turnovers in the game and the Aggies took advantage to score 25 points off turnovers.
Idaho finishes its season with a 12-18 record while the Aggies advance to the WAC semifinals with a 22-10 mark.
"It hurts right now knowing that I'm not going to be able to play another game," Barone said after the loss. "I thought this year we were ha a good enough team to make a run at this tournament. They wore us out during the second half, and when you're not scoring or stopping them you can't win."

|Millet, Hunt honored
Idaho's Rachel Millet and Paige Hunt have been named the Verizon WAC Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively, for the week of Jan. 23-29.
Millet, a freshman from Spokane, Wash. (Ferris HS), won three individual events and was part of a relay win during a dual against Oregon State. Millet captured first place in the 50-meter freestyle (23.98), the 100-meter free (51.51) and the 200-meter free (1:52.71), and swam a leg of the first-place 200-meter medley relay team. She earned first place in all four events in which she competed. Millet was named Swimmer of the Week last week, and this is her third honor of the season.
Hunt, a junior from Mesa, Ariz. (Mesa CC), won both diving events against Oregon State. She claimed the 1-meter event with a score of 265.85, a new season high. Her score of 291.85 in the three-meter event was just .58 short of her own school record, which she set last week. This is the second time this season she has been named Diver of the Week.

ZF-2183: Cannot run incubator tests for Zend_Db components
The Zend_Db test suite does not run incubator-specific test components when run from within the incubator/tests directory. A number of E_NOTICE lines are output suggesting that the trunk version of the test configuration file is being loaded before the incubator version and even stub files creating within the incubator are not being called.
There were no current DB tests in the incubator, so I committed revisions 6819 and 6820. The {{TestHelper.php}} script in the incubator tests directory makes an {{include_path}} of:
- Incubator library,
- Incubator tests,
- Trunk library,
- Trunk tests, and
- whatever the pre-configured {{include_path}} had been prior to running {{TestHelper.php}}.
It should be feasible now to add to the incubator whatever tests are needed.
Changing to comply with new IT coventions for components.

18th-Ranked Binghamton Holds Off Upset Attempt In Wrestling Home Opener
A dramatic comeback victory at 184 ignited the 18th-ranked Binghamton wrestling team to a 23-12 victory over an upset-minded Princeton squad during Friday night's home opener at Dillon Gym.
Princeton grabbed four victories on the evening, including a wild 6-2 win for senior Andrew Hirai at 133, but three straight victories late for the Bobcats helped Binghamton to the team win.
Patrick Hunter gave Binghamton a 3-0 lead at 125 after scoring on a series of takedowns against freshman Max Rogers, who stayed aggressive throughout his match but couldn't manage a takedown.
Senior Andrew Hirai got the crowd fired up at 133 with a pair of first-period takedowns against Dan Riggi. After riding Riggi for the entire second period, he escaped early in the third for a 5-2 edge. After a hard-fought scramble late in the period, Hirai ended with a 6-2 victory.
Kevin Moylan tried to build on the momentum with a quick takedown at 141 against Tyler Pendergast, though the Binghamton wrestler would escape and score a takedown of his own for a 3-3 tie at the end of one period. Pendergast took bottom to open the second, and Moylan took full advantage. He scored a quick two back points, and then hit a near fall three points later in the period to open an 8-3 edge.
Pendergast got an early takedown in the third to cut the deficit to 9-6, but Moylan scored a reversal to assume control in the final period and earn an 11-6 win.
Binghamton senior Donnie Vinson took the mat as the third-ranked wrestler in the nation against Princeton tri-captain Zach Bintliff at 149 pounds. While Bintliff fought hard, Vinson showed his All-America abilities with a 17-5 major decision.
At 157, Princeton junior Seth Hazleton brought momentum backed to Princeton's side with a quick takedown and ride out in the first period. An escape early in the second opened a 3-0 lead, though Binghamton's Jack McKeever scored a takedown late in the second to cut the deficit to one point. McKeever chose neutral in the third, but Hazleton remained the aggressor and scored on a double to pull out a 6-2 win.
Binghamton freshman Vincent Grella drew first blood at 165 with a late takedown, but Tiger freshman Judd Ziegler raised his level with a quick reversal in the second. Grella assumed control in the third with multiple takedowns and closed the match with an 11-5 win.
Junior Ryan Callahan scored first for Princeton at 174 with a takedown, and after an escape in the second, held a 3-1 lead over John Paris. Callahan rode long enough to grab more than a minute of riding time, and then he forced a stall point from Paris to open a 4-1 lead. He never let Paris escape and walked off the mat with a 5-1 victory.
Freshman Scott Gibbons brought his team-best 11 victories to the mat at 184 pounds against Cody Reed, and after a scoreless first period, he hit three near-fall points in the second to open a 3-1 edge. A quick escape and then an impressive scramble out of a double left Gibbons up 4-1 midway through the third.
Reed responded for Binghamton with two quick takedowns to force overtime, and then he fought through a scramble to score a stunning 7-5 victory.
Binghamton had total control from that point, as sixth-ranked Nate Schiedel scored a 15-0 technical fall over Dan Santoro, the junior co-captain who was making his season debut. Schiedel overpowered Santoro and grabbed several near falls to build his way to a tech fall early in the third.
In a battle of freshmen heavyweights, Binghamton's Tyler Deuel posted a 19-2 technical fall in the first period to complete a 23-12 Bobcats' victory.
Princeton will return to the mat Saturday evening when it heads to the host

Post subject: Nalini Singh - Archangel's Storm
I have an almost the opposite reaction as the reviewer. Dmitry's book is my favorite in the series while this one is just ok. I felt the comming together part was a tad too short and underdeveloped. It's the same issue I had with Raphael and Elena: when a super powerful ancient being who has not allowed himself to fall in love for centuries suddenly does it, I want it to be more convincing please (we're not talking about your typical Regency rake after all). At least with Dmitry, it was more obvious. On a plus side, Jason didn't utter any teenage horny crap that almost ruined Raphael's mystique.
I do like it that Mahiya wasn't a completely passive victim to her family's cruelty: she actually planned to escape, taught herself some martial arts, etc.

Natalie, I agree with you. I really enjoyed Dmitri's story, while this was lukewarm and just ok. I liked Jason and Mahiya but didn't feel there was any real chemistry between them. The storyline was interesting, the romance not so much.

Post subject: Archangel's Storm by Nalini Singh
I quite liked the latest Guild Hunter
Archangel's Storm
, and concur with Jean Wan's review here at AAR. There are gory scenes, probably to the same calibre as Ilona Andrews' the Edge and Kate Daniels series (maybe slightly less gory than some of those). I was disappointed with the previous book (Dmitri's,
Archangel's Blade
) and I think my complaint about
Archangel's Storm
is that I wish there was more of Jason and Mahiya, and less of Dmitri and Honor (I didn't see why they needed to be in the book at all, as they were not at all integral to the plot, and took up precious pages). I would probably rank this one as my second favourite of the series after
Angels' Blood

Angels' Blood
Your thoughts mirrored mine; Dmitri's "Archangel's Blade" was a tad disappointing (grade B-). The whole Honor being the reincarnation of Ingrede and retaining Ingrede's memory... Well let's say, I've never bought into 'reincarnation' stories. In the end, I feel that Honor is cheated from being loved for exactly who she is, rather than who she was. Other than that, the story was lovely. Nalini is a master among masters; her works are brilliant!
That aside, I really liked "Archangel's Storm" (grade B+).
Props goes to Nalini for not changing Jason. From beginning to end, Jason is still that reclusive spymaster; what differs lays in his heart (an organ that is still very much healing from his horrid past). I've always been a fan of a TRADITIONALLY ROMANTIC hero (flowers, flowery words, etc.), but that just isn't Jason. And I thank Nalini for not changing that aspect of Jason. His character is very intriguing and so mysterious, I'm glad we got to delve into his past and continue to discover what's in his future!
As for Mahiya, I'm with Jean in her review. She's spot-on in saying "No kickass heroine here, but do not call her a doormat theres a difference between strategic endurance and wilful self-subjugation, and Mahiya is merely biding her time"
Mahiya might not be Elena (my favorite heroine of Nalini's creation), but she is no doormat either. Mahiya endured purgatory for hundreds of years, not because she is weak, but because she must or else she dies (death isn't an option, it is a reality for Mahiya). It's a testament of character for Mahiya to endured what she has, only to come out with such optimism. Rather than seek revenge by physically hurting Neha, she chose to seek it through means of living happily.
I can't fault that notion, I think in part because I too live with that MO.

Re: Jason not changing, I actually felt that he did change - going from avoiding meaningful relationship to actually loving a woman (even without admitting it openly). Why? Sure, Mahiya is a nice, strong woman - but he's met women like her before. There's not enough detail here to make it very credible.

Dmitry's and Honor's book is my favorite in this series so far and one of my all-time favorites by Singh. Jason's book was a B read for me -- very good but not great. I am really looking forward to Holly/Sorrow's book.

I can't say I am. The whole "Sorrow" bit, when it popped up in Dmitri's book, struck me as hugely conceited. Who do you think she'll be paired with? My money's on Aodhan or Illium, leaning towards Aodhan. Illium would probably piss her off right now.

I didn't like the Sorrow bit either, but I still felt a deep connection to her character. I've heard more than one person speculate that she'll be paired with Venom but I'm not sure about that. I really don't know. Aodhan and Illium don't feel right to me, but I could be totally off the mark.

Coming late to the game, but I just finished
Archangel's Storm
I'd say it's in the B or B+ range.
Singh packs a lot of story in her books! I feel like she puts a lot of thought into her Archangel/Vampire universe and where it's going, and if you like the Archangel series, this book definitely moves the story line along. Took me a while to finish it, but it is a worthy addition to the Archangel series.
Other random comments:
I'd say that the romance, while nice, felt almost secondary to the intrigues / politics / warring in Neha's court. Also, Jason's thought that it was nice to be cared about (since he hadn't been since his parents died) didn't make sense, since he'd had at least one other lover who obviously cared about him--and whom he had rejected--when he'd been younger. Whatever.
The gore factor was off-putting for me.
I'm still trying to figure out how Jason got cell coverage (he called Raphael) from a super-remote mountaintop ...
It's a little irritating that the assorted archangels pop up with these new random powers conveniently. Seems kind of a cop-out when Mahiya or whoever suddenly displays a new power just in the nick of time.
Also, I'm starting to think that no matter who the couple is - Raphael/Elena or whoever - it's just a matter of time (centuries? millenia?) before the relationship will disintegrate and one or both will grow mad or vengeful. I mean, it seems like we keep seeing it--live long enough, something messes with your archangel mind. So few archangelic couples really seem to have weathered the centuries intact and happy.
PS - FWIW, I think Venom will be paired with Sorrow, if anyone. We'll probably discover that among her currently unknown powers is the ability to remain immune to Venom's, uh, venom. Whereas I think most women would not be able to survive Venom's poison (released, perhaps, during love-making?), I think she'll be able to. Just a guess.

- 1 cup julienned hard salami
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Colby or Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Third Inning Rally Lifts Seton Hall Past Tigers, Fall 5-0
A two-out three-run third inning was enough to lift Seton Hall past the Princeton baseball team Wednesday evening in non-conference action. The Pirates added insurance runs down the stretch to shutout the Tigers 5-0.
Princeton's offense struggled to get going, as Seton Hall held a 10-3 hit differential and its pitchers tallied four 1-2-3 innings.
Turning Point of the Game: Starting pitcher Tyler Foote struck out the first two batters in the third, but a bunt single would open up Seton Hall's offensive burst. Foote and the Tigers were unable to get the final out before letting the next three batters on, giving up an RBI double and a two-run single. The Pirates scored three runs on four hits to hold a 3-0 lead.
Unable to Capitalize: Princeton loaded the bases twice, but was unable capitalize on its offensive chances. In the top of the fifth Andres Larramendii hit a two-out double and the Tigers next two batters reached on walks. In its first chance to score since the first when Alex Flink was called out at home, Princeton was unable to advance the runners before conceding the final out.
The Tigers final offensive opportunity was in the eighth, as the squad loaded the bases with one out. The next two batters were struck out and hit into a fielder's choice, respectively to close out the inning.
Player of the Game: Freshman Larramendi earned his second start, going all nine innings behind the plate. He hit his first career double in the fifth inning and finished the day with six putouts.
Pitcher of the Game: Rookie Luke Strieber made his fifth appearance of the season, tossing two scoreless innings. He allowed only one hit and two walks in nine batters faced. Strieber came in in the bottom of the fifth and quickly found himself in a bases loaded jam. After striking out the leadoff batter and forcing a groundout, the Pirates next three batters would reach. Strieber closed out the inning with a groundout to second.
On Deck: The Tigers (5-18, 3-1 Ivy) hit the road for their first Ivy road trip of the year this weekend at Dartmouth and Harvard. Princeton plays the Big Green on Saturday, Apr. 6 in doubleheader action, followed by a twinbill the next day versus the Crimson. First pitch is set for 12 noon both days.

Overall Experience
Will be Returning
April 14, 2016
I must conclude that this was one of our best hotel experiences we've had. We loved everything about this hotel. We loved the size and quality of our room, we loved the hot breakfasts, the free shuttle, the "social hour" planned on certain days which included food and drinks, and we loved the staff. They did everything they could to make our stay pleasant. On our checkout day, we were unable to get picked up by our guests until later in the day, so the staff allowed us to store our luggage behind the front desk and use their shuttle services until we were picked up. We will definitely be using Staybridge again the future.
Nice Apt's
April 12, 2016
I stayed for 2 nights with my wife and 3 children. The hotel is easy to find with lots of free parking.
Check in was easy, IHG level recognised and friendly welcome. We had a trio-suite room, 2 double beds in one room, a queen bed in the other bedroom and finally a lounge/kitchen area. Very well equipped, clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was good, lots of choices, however hardly any tables or seating area and for me this was frustrating as there always seemed to be no room to sit and eat! They have the manager's special (free food) on a Mon-Wed evening and this was a nice surprise after the costs of being at Disney! Staff were great throughout the restaurant area with special thanks to Raivie, handing out cookies with a smile to the kids and beers to me and my wife – all complimentary! They have a good sized heated pool, jacuzzi and an ok gym with a weights bench, weights and cardio machines. WiFi is good throughout the hotel.
Overall, a nice hotel and definitely recommended if you're visiting the area and want a little more comfort.
Amazing service!! It was a pleasure..

Alpha Sigma Tau ~AΣΤ
Open Motto: "Active, Self-reliant, Trustworthy."
Mascot: They encourage each local chapter to choose their own mascot.
Symbol: Anchor
Jewel: Pearl
Colors: Emerald Green and Gold
Flower: Yellow Rose
Alpha Sigma Tau sorority was founded on November 4, 1899 at Michigan State Normal College, which is now Eastern Michigan University. At the time of Alpha Sigma Tau's founding, there were three other sororities already on campus; Pi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu Phi and Zeta Phi. The women who founded this sorority - Harriet Marx, Eva O'Keefe, Adriance Rice, Helene M. Rice, Mable Chase, Ruth Dutcher, May Gephart and Mayene Tracy - are said to have been positive visionaries, inspire integrity and were remarkably resourceful.
Alpha Sigma Tau members are involved in several philanthropic activities. For one, they support Pine Mountain Settlement School, which is in Southeastern Kentucky in the mountains of Appalachia. The school provides a hands on approach to education and provides basic and environmental programs. According to the Alpha Sigma Tau official website the sorority has supported PMSS since 1945 through financial contributions from its members. Some members and alumnae also give of their time and talents by volunteering at the school as well.
"...the following are some of Alpha Sigma Tau's sponsored projects: purchase of major equipment, renovation of campus buildings, purchase of a fifteen-passenger van, and most recently, the endowment of the Pine Mountain Settlement School Intervention Program Fund. These projects support the Pine Mountain Settlement School as it maintains its successful programs and expands the opportunities available to the area. Alpha Sigma Tau donations are also used to purchase library and audio-visual materials for the Pine Mountain Center. In appreciation of these donations, each item carries a bookplate designating it as a gift from a specific collegiate or alumnae chapter. These bookplates are nature prints designated by Gwen Frostic, a well-known nature artist, environmentalist, and Alpha Sigma Tau."
In June of 2004 the sorority also officially adopted Habitat for Humanity and added it to its National philanthropic service. This is a Christian ministry which helps build houses for families in need. Members volunteer their labor and assist the organization by contributing funds as well.
