American Standard Version I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah. Douay-Rheims Bible I will look for thy salvation, 0 Lord. English Revised Version I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. Webster's Bible Translation I have waited for thy salvation O LORD. Genesis 49:18 Parallel Commentary Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old TestamentIn Genesis 49:11 and Genesis 49:12 Jacob finishes his blessing on Judah by depicting the abundance of his possessions in the promised land. "Binding his she-ass to the vine, and to the choice vine his ass's colt; he washes his garment in wine, and his cloak in the blood of the grape: dull are the eyes with wine, and white the teeth with milk." The participle אסרי has the old connecting vowel, i, before a word with a preposition (like Isaiah 22:16; Micah 7:14, etc.); and בּני in the construct state, as in Genesis 31:39. The subject is not Shiloh, but Judah, to whom the whole blessing applies. The former would only be possible, if the fathers and Luther were right in regarding the whole as an allegorical description of Christ, or if Hoffmann's opinion were correct, that it would be quite unsuitable to describe Judah, the lion-like warrior and ruler, as binding his ass to a vine, coming so peacefully upon his ass, and remaining in his vineyard. But are lion-like courage and strength irreconcilable with a readiness for peace? Besides, the notion that riding upon an ass is an image of a peaceful disposition seems quite unwarranted; and the supposition that the ass is introduced as an animal of peace, in contrast with the war-horse, is founded upon Zechariah 9:9, and applied to the words of the patriarch in a most unhistorical manner. This contrast did not exist till a much later period, when the Israelites and Canaanites had introduced war-horses, and is not applicable at all to the age and circumstances of the patriarchs, since at that time the only animals there were to ride, beside camels, were asses and she-asses (Genesis 22:3 cf. Exodus 4:20; Numbers 22:21); and even in the time of the Judges, and down to David's time, riding upon asses was a distinction of nobility or superior rank (Judges 1:14; Judges 10:4; Judges 12:14; 2 Samuel 19:27). Lastly, even in Genesis 49:9, Genesis 49:10 Judah is not depicted as a lion eager for prey, or as loving war and engaged in constant strife, but, according to Hoffmann's own words, "as having attained, even before the coming of Shiloh, to a rest acquired by victory over surrounding foes, and as seated in his place with the insignia of his dominion." Now, when Judah's conflicts are over, and he has come to rest, he also may bind his ass to the vine and enjoy in peaceful repose the abundance of his inheritance. Of wine and milk, the most valuable productions of his land, he will have such a superabundance, that, as Jacob hyperbolically expresses it, he may wash his clothes in the blood of the grape, and enjoy them so plentifully, that his eyes shall be inflamed with wine, and his teeth become white with milk.

bronzed topaz chapter 32 . 8/2/2013 And that's the happy ending I'm looking for. Thank god I took a chance on this story. I loved everything about this story. I don't think many things made me angry (besides Edward not telling Carlisle his stalker had found him) so that's a plus. On this issue, I had no idea the stalker was. I thought it was Jason for a chapter there, but changed my mind pretty quickly. After that, I had absolutely no idea and just went along for the ride. I feel sorry that he was BRANDED. Holy crap. As if he needed a reminder of what that psycho did to him. The ending was perfect, them getting engaged and going away to college. I'm so happy for those two fictional characters! Thanks for writing and sharing this with us all! |
MizzVicki chapter 12 . 6/20/2013 Again? where is security when people are smashing thru the front door? I realize that right away Emmett might not b considered a threat and they are trying to give him (E) some space, buy really? Does Jason have multiple personality disorder? |

Soul Blade
What's next in fighting? How about a game that melds 3D movement, polygon characters, razor sharp graphics, awe-inspiring moves and a one-of-a-kind combat system? Or, in short, Soul Blade - arguably the most innovative fighting game on the planet. It's the 15th century and ten warriors from around the world, each wielding their weapon of choice, are in bloody pursuit of Soul Edge - the ultimate weapon. Sure, only one will find it. But it looks like the critics already have found it. Game Players magazine voted Soul Blade "Best Game of Show" at AMMO, and NEXT Generation calls Soul Blade "the most complete fighting game to date." Obviously, a cut above.

New Grasan 3000-tph Tracked Impact Crusher Plant
Grasan, Mansfield, Ohio, announces a new, custom designed, tracked 3000-tons-per-hour horizontal impactor plant for aggregate crushing operations. Designated the
KRHT-60E, the plant utilizes a New Holland type Williams 3-blow-bar impact crusher with Williams 6′ x 50′ apron feeder and Simplicity 7′ x 20′ grizzly bar scalping screen that can handle material up to 60″ lump size. The new plant measures 47′ high, 39′ wide, 122′ long (183′ with discharge conveyor) and weighs 1.2 million lb. The 120-ton hopper is 24′ wide, 29′ long, and 9½′ high. A built-on BTI hydraulic hammer breaks up oversize incoming materials. The plant was custom designed and built by Grasan for a large quarry in the southeastern United States.
The chassis mounting consists of two pairs of custom designed B9 tracks with 40″ wide smooth pads and self-leveling stabilizer legs. The twin-track unit is powered by two 300-hp electric motors, travels at ½ mph, and can turn at various angles up to 90 degrees.
The standard Williams crusher design has been modified to enlarge the hydraulic inlet opening for easier maintenance and replacement of the 1000-lb. blow bars. Two 500-hp electric motors supply power for the 3000-tph impactor. The 60″ x 75′ discharge conveyor is powered by twin 100-hp electric motors.
The PC-based electrical control system monitors every function of the crushing plant and will shut it down if any problem occurs. The system includes Allen Bradley full-voltage and redundant motor starters: 4161-volt for motors 200 hp and over; 480-volt for all others. The plant has the same kind of sophisticated filtering and sensing system as an aircraft. And outside programmers can access the system from a remote location for troubleshooting if necessary.
"This is the latest in a line of big, tracked crushing plants we're custom designing for customers; and each one could end up being a one-of-a-kind machine," said Grasan Vice President Ed Eilenfeld Jr. "However, each custom-built machine could also provide the basis for a similar or even somewhat different machine that could be right for other customers'operations. We can incorporate a variety of types of equipment by various manufacturers to meet our customers' precise needs and preferences.
"Grasan can do material analysis, product specifications tests and system capacity checks, as well as flow charts to show how the system will work—including all components and their production capacities," Eilenfeld added. "And we'll specify equipment, itemize costs, and spell out options to show costs versus benefits."

S&W 686 Barrel...this can't be right.
I shot my 686 today for only the second time, and while cleaning, I noticed that from looking at the end of the barrel, it isn't round. Its more of a hexagon; I saw a thread from awhile ago that its the rifling, but i don't know. Is this normal? Here is a link to a picture of a 686 with the same issue as me...

it is the rifling, have the same illusion as the ultralight. find a drill bit that will just slide into the muzzle, you will see that it is just the rifling, what concerns me is it looks like the bore isnt centered with the barrel but it may just be me

That is an optical illusion caused by the rifling termination.

It is not like a hexagon, as that would be six sided and S&W uses a five groove rifling, so it is like a pentagon.

Guys, I don't know much about revolvers, at least not enough to dispense any advise, but I do know a thing or two about image editing. Firstly the picture is not taken directly off the center of the bore. It's easily seen if you pay attention at the cylinder. Thus it's taken from an angle that theoretically can cause an optical illusion. Secondly the picture is made smaller in a Photoshop or a similar program. And probably edited for light and contract too. During this process things often get slightly shifted. Taking all that in consideration I wouldn't really think too much about bore being off center based just on one picture.

The human eye automatically tries to center an object in a circle, which is why peep and ghost ring sights work so well. At the same time, we notice when something is not quite centered in a circle, no matter how slightly off it may be. Many barrels from many manufacturers have bores that look off center, and that's because they are. But they're only off slightly; the gun usually shoots just fine. For example: next time you pick up a Browning Buck Mark, look at how far off the bore is from the center of the barrel. Yet Buck Marks have a very good reputation for quality and accuracy.

HA! And people say I have bad eyes, the off center barrel may not affect function or durability to any noticeable degree, but due to my OCD I would still not buy it

My 686 is a -6 and it isn't counter bored like that one. The inner chamfer looks kinda crappy, but if it shoots--- Let it get good and filthy with lead and carbon and ya won't notice it so much. jd

Versteeg scores 2 goals, Panthers top Jets in SO
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP)
Kris Versteeg scored two goals and added an assist for the Florida Panthers, who snapped an eight-game, road-losing streak with a 4-3 shootout win over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night.
Mikael Samuelsson scored the Panthers' winning goal of the shootout, which used 14 skaters. Mike Santorelli also scored in regulation for Florida (22-15-10), which also ended a four-game skid.
Winnipeg (22-20-6) got two goals from Nik Antropov, Alexander Burmistrov added one, and Kyle Wellwood had two assists.
Scott Clemmensen stopped 41 shots for the win. Winnipeg's Ondrej Pavelec made 23 saves.
Versteeg opened the scoring at 5:40 of the first period with a high backhand that went past Pavelec. It was Versteeg's team-leading 18th goal, but first in 10 games. He had gone four games without a point.
Santorelli's goal was reviewed, but stood as his sixth of the season with 16 seconds left in the first period.
Winnipeg had a two-man advantage for 53 seconds in the first period, but Clemmensen helped kill it.
Antropov scored a power-play goal at 5:06 of the second after Wellwood circled behind the net and fed a pass to him in front of the crease.
The Jets had outshot the Panthers 30-17 through two periods.
Winnipeg tied it at 5:54 of the third on Antropov's second goal, but 57 seconds later Versteeg took advantage of a Jets turnover to notch his second of the game and give Florida a 3-2 lead.
The Jets tied it again when Burmistrov's wrist shot went just inside the post at 13:45.
The Jets were without leading goal scorer Evander Kane, who told the team's medical staff on Friday that he was having headaches, and was diagnosed with a concussion. It is not known when or how he was injured.
NOTES: Jets RW Tim Stapleton sat out, but Winnipeg had D Zach Bogosian back after he missed five games because of an undisclosed lower body injury. ... The Jets will play their next six games on the road, and won't play at home until Feb. 7. ... The Panthers were outshot 40-20 during regulation.

Very interesting. To see various current events in context, I believe it is important to realize that the reality of the powers that be presenting falsehoods to the people goes back thousands of years.Julius Caesar's "Account of the Gaelic Wars" is believed by most scholars to contain great exagerations of the numbers of Gauls he fought etc. in order to build up a heroic persona enabling him to return and become the Caesar. Socrates was forced to drink the hemlock for corrupting the morals of the young, and his enemies were the sophists, spokemen for hire rather than seekers of truth like himself. I read a year or two ago that Mrs Socrates was unhappy with the amount of his earnings. Obviously, being a seeker of truth usually hasn't been as well paying an occupation as a sophist.Mrs Socrates would have probably been happier as Mrs Limbaugh, or Mrs Hannity. Do you recall the Simon and Garfunke song "Sounds of silence" line "The words of the prophets are written on the subway wall." The inmity between Socrates and the sophists and the inmity between Jesus and the pharasees can be seen as quite similar. In Shakespear's plays various conspiracies are often major factors in the plot. Machiavelli wrote of the intricacies of the most effective spin for a prince. Machiavelli had been in a number of political positions, and only took to writing about the methods for acquiring and maintaining power after he was out of power. I guess comparable to an major leage baseball player being a sports announcer or sports writer after his days as an a participant. Not suprisingly the Catholic Church placed "The Prince" on the prohibited list. Theories on the effective use of propaganda by both Hitler and Goering can be found online. Obviously, visionary thinkers like Jefferson and Paine were quite aware of the historical realities expressed by Machiavelli, in Shakespear's plays etc.;but as visionaries they hoped to create a new type of order free from much of the evils of the past. Of course, they knew it was a long shot; and Jefferson stated that history tells us nothing about good governments.
Of course, many conspiracy theories are false or exagerated because they are a part of a rival faction's conspiracy against the opposing faction which they charge with conspiracy.On the other hand, I suspect that many of the more effective conspiracies are never brought to light.As for misrepresentations of their opponents' positions, factcheck.org is a nonpartisan group that regularly sends out free emails showing how candidates of both parties regularly distort and misrepresent the facts. A few years ago, a scandal broke on the then govrernor of Illinois, a Democrat. Interestingly, at the time the scandal broke his predecesor,a Republican, was doing time in prison for crooked dealings while he held that office. In the late 70s I was living in Chicago as a Cook Country Republican prosecutor was kicking ass and taking names of various Democratic aldermen in the Daley machine; and in recent years in Memphis city councilmen have been caught taking suitcases of money etc. And people getting caught is the tip of the iceberg, because it can generally be assumed that if a person didn't think the odds were in their favor, they wouldn't do these things. And hell, there are numerous ways to be involved in shady operations without legal risks, as over half of elected and appointed officials from both parties have taken jobs as lobbyists following their time in office.
I believe the more we are aware of our uncertainties, the nearer to truth we are;because from birth we have all been bamboozeled by various disinformation from different sources. By the time language evolved as a means of communication, it also evolved as a means of deception and control.

Cover stories are leaking and one intelligence official is charged under sedition acts. It may be some material is coming from the Ben Ladin raid and big names are being put in the spotlight. NSA has problems in the area of top level technology usage and acquisition.It is a whistle blower who is charged. 9/11 arrived through civilian aviation and disruptions in the NSA, under the leadership of an Air Force general are being covered. Tom this is the beginning of the birth of the mother of all conspiracy theories. You probably know more than I can find out as Ron Paul is Air Force. You are probably dead center in the worlds greatest conspiracy theory as it is being born. The materials leaking are not classified and if classified material is leaked it may well be extremely potent. Of course Bush was an Air Force officer and the security at NSA was handled by an Air Force three star. Two cyber security contracts are being reexamined as failure of these cyber links caused a hole that allowed the 9/11 operators to penetrate. The press is ripping it apart like mad dogs. I want to read it as it is the story of our last 10 years. Bill

Deepavali has arrived in all its sound, fury and sparkle!
The D-day is finally here to illuminate everyone's face. For some it may be a time for family reunion, for some it may the time to splurge on vibrant apparels and mouth-watering sweets and for others it may mean high-sounding crackers- all symbolic of the happy occasion.
If pyrotechnics is one colourful manifestation of the festival, fostering a spirit of camaraderie through exchange of gifts and sweets is a quiet expression of the festive mood.
The devout visit temples to offer worship, apart from doing pujas at home and performing certain religious rites linked with the Full Moon day.
The not-so-orthodox ones visit their kith and kin to exchange pleasantries. Amidst all these, the ubiquitous multi-channel idiot box dishes out its own quota of a rich variety of entertainment with a wide choice of programmes to interested viewers all through the day.
Around the city, the shops have geared up to cash in on the festive mood. Markets are glittering with offers with buyers splurging on anything under the sun in preparation for the festivities. Over the years traditional markets selling utensils and clothes, swanky malls vending cars, two-wheelers, ornaments and modern gadgets including TVs, refrigerator and cell phones, have changed the idea of shoppers and their shopping pattern.
This is a time when shopping is a necessity and also considered auspicious and the marriage season get into full swing. This period of optimum business activity commences from 'Navratri' and stretches past Christmas to the New Year. A line-up of festivals starting from Dasara, Deepavali, Eid-ul-Fitr and finally Christmas add to the gaiety amid the innumerable weddings.
Sending cash registers ringing, shoppers can be seen with entire family and children in tow. To cash in on the craze, the shopkeepers are luring customers with "special discounts" and "sales" and shopping festivals to add to the frenzy. Clearly this is one season of revelry and merriment no one wants to miss out on. A touch of ethnic stuff, be it to the wardrobe or the interiors, seems to top the list of the ardent shoppers this festive season. This is the time to give a complete makeover to your homes.
There are on display a medley of commodities including beautiful deepams of various sizes and shapes, puja thalis with colourful work on them, metal bells, statutes of Ganesha and Lakshmi, both in clay and metal, trinkets of different hues to decorate your home or work place for the occasion. The concept of buying and gifting silver artefacts is also catching up mainly because it is considered auspicious, and not everyone can afford gold items. Major jewellery houses have come out with attractive schemes to woo the customers.
Freebies, discounts and scratch cards, and the big prizes that go with them seem to be driving the shopping frenzy this festive season. And this year's Diwali is simply an explosion. Corporate giants, be it automobiles, consumer durables, IT, finance, real estate or apparels almost everything appeals to the instincts of the people. With competition heating up, companies seem to have gone for the strategy of driving the sales-volume up by all means.
– Nivedita Ganguly

About PS Value (Pro)
Click the "Learn More" link below to see how YCharts calculates the PS Value.
The PS Method values stocks by applying a historical average of median Price to Sales Ratios to current trailing 12 months sales numbers. Investors should always check to ensure that they are comfortable with the estimated historical Price to Sales Ratio given information today before investing based on this valuation.
Many investors prefer to use sales numbers to value stocks since they are slightly more difficult than earnings to "edit" using accounting practices. This method tends to overvalue companies that have historically traded at very high PS ratios (usually growth firms), and tends to undervalue companies that historically traded at low PS ratios.
In order to help help investors avoid unreasonable valuations, we have set a maximum Price to Sales multiple of 10, even if the company historically has traded at higher values. If the intelligent investor has good reason to apply a higher multiple, they may choose to do so, but we will not publish numbers that high because they are rarely sustained.

A season of films and documentaries from the last 70 years reflecting on the conflict and its consequences.

In their many different ways, artists like Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Luis Buñuel, Alain Resnais, André Malraux, Picasso, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Éluard or George Orwell all reacted to what was happening in Spain, drawing attention to it through their work.

A forum spokeswoman said delegates would have the opportunity to participate in field trips and workshops, develop leadership skills, and meet and engage like-minded contemporaries, inspiring and informative speakers and experts - including Sir Peter Blake Trust alumni, Ministry for the Environment staff, local and national politicians, subject experts, and business and community leaders.
Following the inaugural Young Blake Expedition to the Kermadecs in 2012 and the Young Blake Expedition to the Southern Ocean and Subantarctic in February this year, delegates at the 2014 Youth EnviroLeaders' Forum may also be eligible for selection, she said.

The Skinny - How to fit into your little black dress forever and a healthy breakfast to start your day
38 comments:
Similar to my breakfast which just now is yogurt with fresh sliced peaches, blueberries, and toasted almonds.
Just noticed your sidebar --
How I learned to cook -- Me too! One long cold winter in Iowa City while my husband was in grad school and I was unemployed, I worked my delicious way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking -- at least those part we could afford ingredients for.Good healthy breakfast Sam. In the summer I like to toast whole wheat bread with a little olive oil in the toaster oven until it begins to brown, then add two basil leaves and a peppered tomato slice on top and toast until tomato begins to soften and toast is brown. The book sounds like it has a lot of good advice.
ReplyDeleteI love it! From now on, I'm eating "Fifi-style". I often find myself inhaling my food without tasting really tasting it the way your gardener apparently did. And for me, eating 'what I dont' want' means forcing myself to finish what's on my plate because it's there - the dread clean-plate mentality. I'll have to check out this book.
Your adaptation of this breakfast dish sounds perfect - toasted walnuts are such a treat and fresh berries make this so much more than just plain ol' breakfast!What do I want to eat? I do understand and try my hardest to stop and ask myself if I really want to eat something. It is starting to work! I do try and pace myself when I am eating a meal, though, and I have stopped noshing in the evening. Now when will I fit back into that LBD or those LBJeans?
ReplyDeleteWhat a interesting book there~I think from what you mentioned, she has hit the nail on the head....controlling the intake of foods, the ole push-back exercise.Like you, I do not eat what I don't like...hummm.What could that be..Anchovies! Heck, how many of those could you put away and gain a pound or two. I am with you on the healthy foods, though.
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm lactose intolerant, I ration dairy carefully. My breakfasts are usually high-protein, low-carb. I love an afternoon snack of fresh fruit cut up with just a dab of Stonyfield Farm yogurt and a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds. A 6-oz. container of yogurt lasts me a week. Stonyfield Farm says their yogurt helps lactose intolerance.
ReplyDeletenice advise. Congrats on award. apples looks delicious.

Modelling Asian Stock-Market Volatility (In French)Sanvi Avouyi-DoviBanque de France Eric JondeauUniversity of Lausanne; Swiss Finance Institute January 1, 1999 Banque de France Working Paper No. 58 Abstract: Building on work about stock markets in industrialized countries, we analyze volatility of stock returns in South-East Asia using the ARCH methodology. Our goal is to highlight specific features of Asian stock market, concerning the statistical properties of returns as well as the volatility dynamics. We are then able to compare stock markets in industrialized countries with those of Asian emerging countries. This analysis shows that there is no fundamental difference between both areas: stock markets have similar statistical properties and display the same volatility pattern.

Dallas/Ft. Worth
Hotels in Dallas/Ft. Worth
This 101-room hotel is ideally located in walking distance of the stockyards; thanks to 42-inch flatscreens and separate seating areas, guest quarters are ideal for families. On sunny days, take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool.
Old meets new at this 39-room hotel housed in a pair of historic buildings in downtown Fort Worth. Facades maintain original 1915 architectural features while rooms have amenities such as claw-footed Jacuzzi tubs and Gilchrist & Soames amenities.
The Dallas icon of luxury, founded in 1980 when oil heiress Caroline Rose Huntturned a circa-1925 cotton magnate's mansion into an outstanding property, undertook a full freshening up for its 30th anniversary.
Established in 1912 by beer magnate Adolphus Busch, this downtown hotel has welcomed A-list guests like Queen Elizabeth II, Babe Ruth, and Donald Trump.
At the chain's first outpost, in Plano, Texas, pod chairs and glass "antler" chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and a "game room/library" is outfitted with pink cowhide rugs, Ultrasuede banquettes, and a stainless-steel bar.
With room names like "Mega Room" and "Wow Suite," W Dallas–Victory inspires high expectations and, much to the delight of its guests, consistently exceeds them.
In 2008, the Stoneleigh spent $36 million renovating the dark and drab out of this classic 1920s uptown property. The bright, modern décor pays homage to the original Art Deco sensibilities while adding local flavor, including works by contemporary Texas artists, in the 170 rooms.
Indulging in maple-and-peppercorn-soaked buffalo tenderloin from celebrity chef Dean Fearing, relaxing with a massage in the 12,000-square-foot spa, heading to lunch in a Bentley town car—these are some of the highlights of a stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas.
While this 1927 Neo-Gothic building still maintains many of its historic features, it also has a modern cantilevered rooftop pool, a Charlie Palmer restaurant, and a $20 million–plus art collection, including works by Andy Warhol and Richard Phillips.
From companion goldfish available upon request to chilled peach tea in the lobby, the Kimpton Palomar Hotel is all about the little extras.
A lobby furnished with Burmese-style antiques, and larger-than-average rooms, located in the business district of Las Colinas.
From its dominant vantage point on a high hill in Oak Cliff, the Belmont Hotel commands spectacular views of the Dallas skyline. The only word of warning guests should heed before booking a room is that once they arrive, they may never want to leave.
Limestone landmark in Dallas's Uptown neighborhood; an outpost of chef Nobu Matsuhisa's namesake restaurant occupies the first floor.

This table is even nicer in person than I imagined based on the description. It is really sturdy but looks quite elegant in the room. The color is a deep espresso and there is just enough glass in the center to give it more of an open feel as opposed to being a solid block in the middle of the room. It was super simple to assemble, too...a one person job that takes less time than getting all of the pieces out of the box!
I shopped around for a lower priced or mid-range coffee table but the lesser quality tended to show itself. I had even ordered a much more expensive product from Pottery Barn but when I got to checkout they wanted a $30 processing fee. Offended by that, I immediately stopped the transaction. Then I found this at Overstock and ordered it on a Sunday. I live on the East Coast and I already knew the delivery should ship on Monday and arrive on Friday. It did. It went together easily and took only about half an hour to assemble. An extra hand would help putting in the lower shelf but I was able to do it on my own. The color is true and the quality/value is quite good. Easily competes with $500 and up competitors. I am very pleased. So have no fear if choosing this table.
a great coffee table which I paired with another Archer product that looks like half of this full table. Rich color, clear glass. Very easy to assemble. Nice, substential size and solid look. Great price too. It could easily retail 400 bucks in a store. Very happy I got it. I wanted a subtle nautical look and this is perfect.
Beautiful table. Looks great in the living room. Got many compliments.
The table is larger than pictured but looks exactly the same. I came home from work and my hubby had already set it up and said it was easy. I did notice a small chip in the underside of the shelf but couldn't bare to send it back. So I bought a dark wood concealer and penciled it in and now you can't see it. I wasn't sure if it arrived that way or my hubby did it. He tends to be a bit rough and wouldn't have admitted to damaging it while setting it up. I seriously suspect it was him. He is full of "oops". Every one compliments it. I love how it compliments the other pieces in my room and couldn't be more happy with it. It's about $$ cheaper now too! But I am not mad!
that, what I was looking for, love it
This came the next day when I order them. And it much perfect with my furniture
Nice stylish table. Wasn't thinking before we got it... glass is a pain to keep clean in the middle of it.
I fell in love with the item in the photo, a coffee table I saw when I was browsing great deals from Overstock.com. where I go for most of my shopping online. I never expected to see a beauty right when I opened the shipment at home! It was a masterpiece, a work of art! A combination of wood and glass top. It provided a great accent in my livingroom. The size is just right fot any corner or side, but in my case, I placed it in the center! It surely makes a statement , it seems like it is proudly saying, look at me, "I stand alone in the center but I am never lonely because I get everyone's compliment!' LOVELY!
Top and bottom of table were broken when delivered. Both were separating right out of the box. It was actually peeling apart before it was put together..

I am currently an 11b in the California National Guard, and I am interested in reclassing into the 35p MOS. Openings have been exceptionally limited in my state in our MI battalions, so I am wondering if the 19th SF group utilizes 35p intel guys in their support companies, and, if so, how I might be able to get into that. I have been in the Guard for just over two years now, and I am motivated to make a military career for myself, but there just aren't any opportunities to train, learn new skills, deploy, or get promoted in the infantry. I see 35p as an opportunity to attain fluency in a language, get overseas experience, and to overall learn a new skill set that can ultimately make me valuable and useful to the Army. And if I can work with SF and actually get challenged along the way it's all the better to me.

35P in SF?
Page Title Module
I am assuming you are currently serving in CA ARNG. Unfortunately there are no MI Support positions with A/5/19th SFG in CA, do to it only being a Company. All the 35 series slots for NG SF are at the BN and Group Support units in UT or CO ARNG. So if you are willing to travel and IST to either UT or CO, it is definitely possible to become a 35P with 19th SFG in order to support SF operations.

Early Build of Windows Blue Leaked
It seems an early version of Windows Blue was leaked, the build 9364 is available publicly for download on file sharing sites, this build is considered as the first mile stone of Windows Blue.
The leaked ISO file of Windows Blue is 2.63 GB in size and available only for 32-bit version windows systems.The file name of the ISO is "9364.0.FBL_PARTNER_OUT13.130315-2105_X86FRE_CLIENT ", which indicates the origin of the leak is from France.
Full details of the leaked build-
Name: 9364.0.FBL_PARTNER_OUT13.130315-2105_X86FRE_CLIENT_EN-US-IMP_CCSA_DV5.ISO
Size: 2,63 GB
Windows Blue which is in development will be released as an free upgrade for Windows 8 in this August and the first public beta will be available by June month.
The main differences you can notice in this version of blue includes larger and smaller Live Tiles, now you can customize Start screen a bit, updated side-by-side app view, which intents to display two applications with matching width. Other important addition include a Play option under the Devices panel, a screenshot button on the Share sidebar, and Internet Explorer 11.
Internet explorer 11 in this leaked build provides preview of new features that will be introduced in IE11,the new features so-far discovered in this build include synced tabs,option to view downloads list in the browser(just click wrench icon) , option to on and off web site tracking.
Another interesting and hidden feature discovered in this leaked windows blue build is "slide to shut down" ,this feature is accessible through a .exe file in system 32 folder.I think this feature is still in development, that's why they are hiding it.
As we keep tracking on Windows Blue development,this page is intended to convey the progress of Windows Blue development and we don't recommend installation of this leaked build on your regular windows system, as this is an early build, we can expect several bugs and security issues

Hotel Brand Revitalization
Like any commercial product, a hotel brand follows a life cycle. At its maturity, the brand becomes tired in the face of changing consumer preferences, new brand competition floods the market, and brand development stagnates while brand-wide revenue flat lines. Although lodging companies continuously try to promote their brands, at this point in the brand life cycle only two options remain. One extreme measure is to eliminate the brand from the company's portfolio, ensuring development of that brand remains dormant. An example of this is when InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) eliminated Holiday Inn Select from the Holiday Inn brand family. The other option, which is more commonly undertaken, is to revitalize the brand through a process that is often referred to as a "rebrand," a "brand refresh," or a "brand relaunch."
Hotel brand revitalization can necessitate a broad range of initiatives, from minor changes such as added amenities, service enhancements, a redesigned logo or slogan, or slight property aesthetic improvements, to more comprehensive brand-wide property improvement plans (PIPs). The goal is to modernize a brand that has deteriorating guest loyalty and awareness from having failed to keep up with the changing tastes and expectations of the travelling public. Instead of developing more properties under the unchanged brand affiliation, a hotel company conducts a relaunch to improve the quality and consistency of the brand in an attempt to re-build brand equity. In response to fast-paced changes in various social, environmental, and technological areas over the past five years, many hotel companies have undertaken multi-million dollar brand refreshes in an attempt to capture the loyalty of today's traveller.
Major Brand Relaunches and Refreshes
Many parent companies, in collaboration with their owners, have recently undertaken or are currently undertaking property renovations to articulate their new image in an attempt to improve guest satisfaction. Brand-wide PIPs improve guest satisfaction in two main ways. First, they ensure that all the hotels bearing the flag are meeting the same property standards, which standardizes the guest experience across all properties operating under the brand. Secondly, it breathes new life into the brand concept through redesigned elements that reflect the needs and concerns of travellers who are increasingly connected, cosmopolitan, and ecologically conscientious.
The following figure summarizes the timeframe for the major brand refreshes.
The largest brand relaunch occurred between 2008 and 2010 when IHG revamped the look and experience of more than 3,000 hotels within the Holiday Inn brand family (Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express), located around the world. By the end of 2010, approximately 1,000 properties (140,000 rooms) were stripped of the Holiday Inn flag. In addition to updating the logo, which hadn't been changed since the brand commenced 50 years ago, each property underwent extensive enhancements, including new signage, exterior lighting and landscaping, and upgraded lobby areas and guestrooms.
IHG is also innovating in other areas of its brand portfolio, particularly through the repositioning strategy that it has adopted for Crowne Plaza, which is scheduled for completion in 2016. Many hotels have already completed the first two repositioning phases, which entail new design elements and advanced management training. The brand is still working on implementing the switch to plum-coloured items and hallmarks, which will replace the maroon colour that formerly identified Crowne Plaza.
Delta Hotels and Resorts is currently in the process of re-inventing its brand. The company has introduced new brand design standards that are aimed at repositioning the Delta brand as an "upscale guest experience in the four-star hotel category." The company is implementing a reconfiguration of the public spaces and introducing the newly designed ModeRoom™. As a result of the repositioning strategy, all Delta properties have or will have to undergo a major PIP to meet the ModeRoom™ design requirements. This is a major undertaking for most Delta properties as it involves all aspects of the guestroom furnishings and fixtures. For properties that have undertaken these renovations, the pay-off is being realized in terms of average rate growth potential. Since the brand refresh has commenced, approximately half a dozen properties have left the system, but there are plans to open four new properties across Canada, including the flagship property in Toronto's South Core, which is to open in late 2014.
Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group's Radisson hotel brand is in the final stages of its brand-wide renovations with approximately 75% of the more than 130 of its hotels in the Americas having gone through full PIPs by the end of 2013. PIPs, amenity enhancements, and a strong focus on improving guest experience are the brands key components in an effort to push the chain upmarket. Of the Radisson Hotels across Canada over the last three years, 12% were new construction, 53% have been renovated, and 35% are in progress with completion expected in the next 12 to 18 months.
Additionally, in 2012, Carlson launched a new hotel prototype and brand identity for its Country Inns & Suites incorporating its new generation design specifications. Country Inns & Suites is offering owners reduced royalty, marketing and renovation fees – a reduction of five percent, for hotels that have 80 or more rooms, are built or converted to the brand's "Generation 4" specifications, and open under the Country Inns and & Suites flag within a two year period of signing the license agreement.
Choice Hotels International has revamped the look of Comfort Inn, which aims to please the upper midscale guest through its "Redesigned and Redefined" program involving brand-wide guestroom upgrades, a new breakfast plan, and the "first impression" lobby experience. In 2013, the focus was on guestroom improvements, especially new bedding priced of $200 per bed. Although the brand's logo remains unchanged, nearly 70% of Comfort Inn properties are expected to have completed a PIP by 2015, when nearly 400 of its approximate 2,000 properties are also expected to have their flag removed.
Hilton Worldwide initiated the rebranding of DoubleTree with a contemporary logo redesign and a name modification, adding "by Hilton" to the DoubleTree name. The investments put into the brand include the Sweet Dreams™ sleep program, a signature breakfast program, and property design enhancements. On a global scale, there are approximately 140 DoubleTree Hotels in the pipeline, four of them in Canada with the recent opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Downtown.
Coast Hotels began revitalizing the Coast brand through a new logo featuring its now signature fuchsia colour, which is a switch from the formerly standard blue. The look of the brand had not been updated in the 40 years that it has been in existence, and the new logo will be featured on all new hallmarks and signage. The brand relaunch will also include property improvements and FF&E upgrades, but there are no plans to remove any Coast flags from properties as part of the refresh.
Wyndham Hotel Group is following on par with the reinvigoration trend at stake of its brands hotel operating performance. Howard Johnson is looking to introduce its newly imagined brand with redesigned test properties to appear in the US in late 2014, and changes are to start being implemented at franchised properties by 2015. Changes will be made to the logo, the exterior design, and the FF&E, complemented by the brand's iconic orange accents. Howard Johnson's tiered brands – Howard Johnson Inn, Howard Johnson Express, and Howard Johnson Plaza, will be eliminated. The company is pushing ahead with plans to refresh its Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham and Travelodge brands – two economy brands that will look to advance their market share with new lobby and guestroom designs.
Intentions behind a Relaunch
A relaunch allows a brand to celebrate its long-lived history and culture while demonstrating to customers that it is in alignment with and sensitive to contemporary trends and tastes. These changes are vital in staying relevant and ensuring future growth. The goals of a hotel brand-wide relaunch are to improve brand clarity, maintain or improve scale position, standardize and tighten the product through the elimination of underperforming properties, and evolve new design concepts to meet shifts in consumer demands.
Improve brand clarity
Establishing brand clarity is an ever-present challenge for hotel companies with several franchises. Each brand in a company's portfolio attempts to create value through offering distinct services and amenities, but these features may be unclear to the average price-focussed traveller. Rates may be $20 more for a full-service property than a limited-service property within the same brand family, but that rate justification must be communicated to the consumer in order for them to understand the value proposition. For instance, IHG looked to further differentiate the upper midscale full-service Holiday Inn brand from the upper midscale limited-service Holiday Inn Express brand over the course of its relaunch. Changes were made entailing colour differentiation – Holiday Inn decked out with its signature green while Holiday Inn Express exhibited hallmarks bounded in blue. Apart from contrasting services and amenities, Holiday Inn Express has been standardized with having less meeting space for new builds and conversions ensuring the full-service Holiday Inn product remained the primary driver of meeting and group demand within the brand's family.
Maintain scale position
A brand allows a hotel to stand out within its own chain scale segment. Once a brand begins to lose market share, however, it is at risk of falling to a lower scale segment (such as midscale to economy). A brand relaunch can turn the tide on this descent and reposition all the hotels in the brand at a higher point on the chain scale. For example, the Howard Johnson brand is currently part of the lower end of the midscale segment, and Wyndham is looking to regain market share within the segment through the brand relaunch. Any brand in this situation requires extensive capital injections into its properties, giving owners an opportunity to reposition their properties within the market without changing brands.
Eliminate underperforming properties
Part and parcel of a brand relaunch is the de-flagging of underperforming properties that fail to meet the new product standards. Underperforming properties undermine brand equity—the added value endowed by the brand name. As much as hotel owners and developers steer clear of having their properties appear too "cookie cutter," guest loyalty is derived from consistency throughout the brand. As such, one poor hotel can ruin the flock.
A property can be determined to be underperforming by comparing its performance to that of its competitive set, but guest satisfaction scores also measure a hotel's ability to retain guests. In order for a property to maintain its flag during a refresh process, many franchise companies look to guest satisfaction scores to ensure consistency throughout the brand in the eyes of the guest. For example, in 2012, in the midst of its refresh process, Choice Hotels asked guests how likely they were to recommend the Comfort Inn brand to a family member or a friend. If the average response at a hotel fell below 7.2 out of 10, it was likely that the property would be eliminated from the Comfort Inn system.
For the owners that make the cut, they are left with two options: make the necessary expenditures to ensure that the property lives up to the new brand standards, or transition the property to an alternative brand. In some cases, a property may not require a full PIP if it is relatively new or recently underwent renovations before the brand-wide initiative commenced. Instead, it will likely require less capital investment with the addition of a few hallmarks and signage changes.
In the scenario of a property leaving the brand's system, owners are typically forced to transition the property to a lower-scale brand. In some circumstances, a franchise company may provide an exit strategy for an owner involving a downgrade to another brand within the company's portfolio. For instance, if the market is fitting, Choice International may suggest converting a Comfort Inn into an Econo Lodge—an economy-scale brand that would require a smaller capital investment than the investment to enhance the property to Comfort Inn standards.
Meeting the needs of a changing demographic
Franchise companies are adjusting their brands in response to the expectations of the Millennial generation (ages 17 to 35) through added amenities and technological advancements. In 2011, the number of Millennials in the US reached 79 million, ahead of the Baby Boomer population (ages 48 to 66) of 76 million. By 2030, Boomers will have shrunk to 56 million. If a brand is going through a refresh process, it is essential to hit all the key interest points of the modern-day Millennial traveller and prepare for the traveller to come.
While travelling for business, Millennials are more likely to work within the "coffee shop culture"— a "third space" apart from their home or work space that reflects a more open, social concept. Newer brands like Starwood's aloft already cater to this concept, but more established brands within Hilton, IHG, and Marriott's portfolio are updating their properties, particularly through the lobby, to adhere to this trend.
While travelling for leisure, Millennials are looking for a more authentic local experience. While "cookie cutter" ensures brand consistency, Millennials are looking to immerse themselves in something they have not yet experienced. Franchise companies are thus forced to negotiate between the need for brand consistency and the appearance of uniqueness, which is sometimes answered in fresh ways. For instance, Coast Hotels, capitalizing on the fact that it operates on a smaller scale than the major franchise companies, has adopted a new slogan, "refreshingly local™," to reinforce both the differentiation within its properties and the special value of each location.
Results of Brand Revitalization
A franchise company anticipates that its hotel owners see the value of injecting capital into their properties and how this directly translates into both improved guest satisfaction and increased revenue.
Following IHG's relaunch for the Holiday Inn family, the brand was immediately seeing 3% to 4% improvements in customer satisfaction scores, translating into 7% RevPAR gains in properties that had upgraded to the new signage and service levels. Today, Radisson is seeing the correlation between property renovations and revenue with a 5% boost in RevPAR and 2.3 point increase in RevPAR penetration amongst its recently updated hotels. Similarly, Comfort Inn is capitalizing on increases in all categories while the outlook remains optimistic for the refresh to wrap up. The company hopes to justify a $16 push in ADR at the conclusion of the brand-wide relaunch in 2015.
Ideally, a hotel franchise company works with each of its owners through the brand revitalization process to ensure that the necessary brand and property enhancements enable enough ADR and occupancy growth to produce a worthy ROI, thereby avoiding any flags being pulled. However, each market varies, and some branding initiatives are not feasible investments for hotel owners.
A full-fledged brand relaunch requires time, capital, and the compliance of owners. Hotel companies juggling a wide-range of brands within their portfolio must distinctly position each of them in the eyes of the consumer in order to maximize market share. With the changing interests of the modern-day traveller, hotel companies will continuously need to update brand standards and re-identify themselves amongst an increasingly competitive environment.
