DbConnection::EnlistTransaction Method
Enlists in the specified transaction.
Namespace: System.Data.Common
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
- transaction
- Type: System.Transactions::Transaction
A reference to an existing Transaction in which to enlist.
New in ADO.NET 2.0 is support for using the EnlistTransaction method to enlist in a distributed transaction. Because it enlists a connection in a Transaction instance, EnlistTransaction takes advantage of functionality available in the System.Transactions namespace for managing distributed transactions. Once a connection is explicitly enlisted in a transaction, it cannot be unenlisted or enlisted in another transaction until the first transaction finishes.

Sony Digital Camera QuestionHi everyone
Im interested in purchasing a new digital camera and the two that interest me the most are the DSC-HX9 and the DSC-HX10..the HX10 being the newer model but that one shoots video in 1080i as the HX9 shoots in 1080p(I assume 1080p from what Im hearing IS better)
The HX9 is a discontinued model and the price is still pretty high for it(I have seen posts here where its been on clearance but now its still over 300 bucks for it) so not really sure what to do. If anyone has either one of these cameras let me know which one might be the better one to go with..I wont be taking much video with it(But I figured that it would be cool having a video camera in the camera itself) just want something reliable, takes good photos, and once in a while good video.
The HX10 is a better camera, just go for that. You aren't looking at the whole number, the HX9v actually shoots in 1080/50i, while the HX10 shoots in 1080/60i. So yeah, if you scale them down, both cameras have 24p capability. The HX10 is basically the HX9 with a newer sensor. The HX20 has a longer zoom range (not necessarily a good think, as the longer zoom range you make a lens, the more optical compromises it has) but it does shoot 1080/60p.
I did see a comment on youtube regarding the HX10 and syncing issues when recording video(Like the lips dont match the words coming out of someones mouth) and someone replied its nothing to do with the camera itself, just when you upload it to youtube or burn on a disc with certain software that can happen
When uploading to youtube or burning to disc what software is recommended to prevent issues like that
The HX10 is on amazon right now for 298 I assume that will be the best deal available for this camera?
The HX20 does look nice except its way too bulky I promised myself no more bulky cameras
Yeah, since it's brand new, about $300 is the price you're going to find. If it's more than 10% cheaper than the reliable online camera shops (B&H, Adorama, Calumet, JR, Amazon, etc) then chances are it's a scam or bait & switch store. You can prevent syncing issues by using a good computer. Just use the programs that either came with your computer, or that came with the camera, and you should be fine. For editing and stuff, I think that Sony Vegas is a wonderful video editing program.
Great thanks so much I went ahead and already ordered the camera(The HX10) will be arriving sometime next week since I did the free super saver shipping. As far as the difference between 1080p and 1080i will I notice much difference at all?
I assume since its 18megapixel the photo quality will be excellent. I am looking forward to receiving this camera
1080/60p helps if you're panning quickly or shooting fast-moving subjects a lot. The problem is that you need a sensor that outputs 60fps. That article should clear everything up that you want to know, if not then some creative google searching should take you to all the info you'd ever want to know. As you can imagine, that's a common question. Megapixels don't really lend to image quality as much as you'd think. For example, while the $3,000 Nikon D800 is 36MP, the full-professional $6,000 Nikon D4 is "only" 18MP. It's the sensor enhancements that will lead to better image quality, not the resolution.
I already ordered the HX10 and its on its way..two people on amazon.com loved it, but two other people who have it said that its a horrible camera and that everything looks yellow, could it just be a defective camera? Seems that everyone else loves the camera dont know why those two people have issues hope they just got a lemon and mine doesnt act like that
No, it's not defective. It's because they set the white balance incorrectly. You have to control what "white" means to a camera, because white light from the sun is not the same as white light from a lightbulb or fluorescent lamp or a cloudy day.
Photography is such a strange hobby. People buy expensive equipment and expect it to do the work for them, when the opposite is true. For example, I wouldn't ever buy myself Lance Armstrong's bicycle and consider myself a Tour de France cyclist, or Mario Andretti's car and consider myself a race driver, but every bozo that decides that he or she is willing to spend $400+ at Best Buy or Target, suddenly they strut around calling themselves photographers. The higher up you go in equipment, the LESS it does for you, because you're expected to be able to handle the basics by yourself. Watch this video of an experienced auto reviewer trying to drive a Formula car around a track:
You see the way that a higher-end race car is kicking that guy's ass because he isn't good enough to handle it? That's exactly what's going on with those idiots who are getting yellow photos. They're used to iphones and $80 Kodaks that do everything for them, and suddenly they get to a camera with actual settings, controlling the basic aspects of a photograph, and it gets thrown in their face.
Be willing to read and learn, and blame yourself instead of the camera for your failed photos, and within a month or two you'll be comfortable with the camera. Because once you learn to harness what your camera is actually doing, you can do some amazing things with it. Look at the quality of some of these photos from the Sony HX9 pool:
You don't easily get those from letting the camera control settings for you. I just looked through the first page of photos, and none of them were shot on Auto.
Thanks so much for letting me know. I was concerned when I read those two reviews thinking there was something wrong with the camera, thanks for verifying what the issue is. I dont know much about white balance so will have to do some research. Usually when I get a camera I just put the camera on automatic so that it will just take nice photos for me, since Im not a photographer I wouldnt know what settings to manually put in so automatic is always the option I use.
Is setting the camera to automatic going to prevent any kind of discoloration or do I still have to do things in the manual settings to prevent stuff like that from happening?
I feel much better knowing its not a camera issue, just people who dont know what they are doing issue
The HX10 is arriving on Monday will have to go through the manual and everything to figure things out, havent had a good camera in a while but the images that you sent me look wonderful, even though its for the HX9 its very similar to the HX10 since its the upgraded model
Thanks again for ur help!
Its actually arriving today, a few days early so I will be able to play around with it this weekend. I guess the obvious question is how will I know if the camera itself is defective when I use it or when its just me not knowing what the heck Im doing
I will mess around with the white balance, but will use more auto on it since Im hoping that will correct the majority of what I will need. I have picasa so I will use that also. What are the settings I should be using besides automatic of course :-)
Thanks again for ur help really appreciate u answering these questions for me

The easiest way to blog
Articles Tumblr
Tumblr is a really simple publishing platform with which you can create your own personal blog in no time.
The main difference between Tumblr and other blogging platforms is ease of use: you can create a Tumblr account with just an email account, and start posting in less than two minutes. The online publishing editor in Tumblr has templates to create and share regular text posts, videos, photos, quotes, audio files, chat logs and links.
Personalization in Tumblr is simple; you can customize theme and appearance, create extra pages, and link it to other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. There are free and premium (paid) Tumblr themes to choose from and, if you have the necessary knowledge, you can also design your own.
Besides being a publishing platform, Tumblr offers also some social networking features, like the ability to 'follow' other Tumblr users as on Twitter, 'like' special posts as on Facebook and republish posts on your own Tumblr from other people (the so called 'reblog' function).
The Tumblr system lets you have a Tumblr subdomain (something like myname.tumblr.com) or link your blog to a domain name you already own. In the first case, however, it can be difficult to find a free domain name – and it's a bit annoying as well, as there's no way to check name availability before sending the form.
If you'd like to start a blog in the simplest possible way, give Tumblr a go. It won't disappoint.
- Very easy to set up and use
- Various themes available
- Includes social network features
- Templates for different types of post
- Finding a free subdomain name can take some time

Steve French, the owner of the industrial design firm Applied Concepts Unleashed in Stuart, Fla., has been designing powerboats from 19 to 100 feet for 30 years. His reputation has grown because of his progressive thinking and high-tech design and building methods, and his portfolio ranges from Garlington and Spencer sportfishing boats to the high-tech Makaira 64 and the F22 center console, as well as the Hydra-Sports 3300 Vectra.
Soundings at 50 Celebrating a half-century of boating
I didn't know diddly-squat about boats, but I was a reporter, and I loved to fish. I had spent many an idyllic summer vacation and November blue blitz on the Outer Banks of North Carolina fishing with my dad. What better way to indulge two loves — fishing and writing — than coming to work for Soundings in the quintessential New England town of Essex, Conn.

Volvo Penta's new D11 inline 6-cylinder diesel will now power two new IPS pod-drive systems: the IPS800 and IPS950 (pictured). The package makes a good match for boats from 40 to 60 feet, especially flybridge yachts and convertibles, says Thomas Lantz, Volvo Penta's chief project manager for the D11.

Stephen & Robert's Stylish Bed Stuy Pad
House Tour
Stephen Siersema & Robert Quinones
Location: Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York
Size: 510 square ft
Years lived in: 4 years; rented
Upon entering Stephen & Robert's home, one can't help but instantly marvel at the natural light and bright pops of red throughout the apartment. The contrast of their blue-gray sectional against the red accents makes the room vibrant and inviting. Every wall is white, providing a blank canvas for the colorful and perfectly framed art, most of it created by artist friends.
Enter House Tour
As you walk through the space you will notice that every square inch is carefully utilized, yet without a bit of clutter. Of special note is the kitchen, separated from the rest of the apartment, hosting a vast collection of vintage Last Supper paintings on the cabinet tops. It's a clever display mixed with nostalgia and humor.Every piece has a story, and Stephen and Robert are happy to share it with you. Stephen is a Scenic Designer with an eye for detail and an artful collection of leftover movie props; Robert is a Director of Student Life & Activities at Brookdale College with an understanding of structure and comfort. In this cozy pad you feel right at home, whether lounging on the chaise sectional in the living room or sipping tea underneath the paper lantern installation with pretty porcelain birds in the dining room.

Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Stephen loves modern, but Robert can't do minimal — "I just have too much stuff!" Stephen also love old things and is lucky to have a few pieces of furniture from his family: Aunt Clara's chest of drawers, a couple pieces of Grandmother's chinoiserie, and the dining table his mom ate at as a child. Robert is a fan of Traditional... so these older family pieces make him happy.
Inspiration: Our jobs and a long distance relationship between Brooklyn and the Jersey Shore make having our own cars a necessity. The Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood is loaded with wonderful people and beautiful historic brownstones, and parking on the street is still a possibility! We love it here so much that we're looking for a place to buy.
Favorite Element: The built-in cabinets and drawers, walk in closet, the vanity/bar, all of the original woodwork. The apartment itself is a real gem.
Biggest Challenge: Moving from a two-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment.
What Friends Say: Cozy & comfortable.
Biggest Embarrassment: The kitchen is in the hallway. We could have hung a curtain or something... instead we bought nice robes! It can be a true blessing in the summertime to close the door to the kitchen and the door to the apartment. We are the only ones using our oven on a hot day.
Proudest DIY: Stephen is a scenic artist, and he helped create this giant bronze S for a film he worked on a few years ago. They were going to put it in a dumpster, so he took it home. Rob loved it. It's our nod to the Mary Tyler Moore show.
Biggest Indulgence: Having two wingback chairs re-upholstered. They usually live in front of the windows, surrounded by houseplants with the IKEA ottoman between them. We miss them terribly & are so sad they weren't done in time for the photos.
Best Advice: If you love something, display it. Put your favorite things in a place of honor, not in a closet or cabinet.
Dream Sources: Design Within Reach, Kartell, Green Street Antiques, White Trash (www.whitetrashnyc.com)

Nice, I love it!
love the cardbox rockets and all the vintage items around the appt.
I love the rockets too. Nice.
Love that wood moulding against the stark white and that asian lamp with the red shade is to die for, and you guys are adorable.
What a cool space. It looks so much larger than 510 sq ft. That bar built in is amazing, so stunning and elegant.
What a cute couple! Love the space as well. :)
Beautiful home!
Love that tiny sectional! Would be perfect for my place - do you mind sharing where you got it?
Yay Bed-Stuy neighbors! Love your cute house!
Love the color mash up in the living room...the pink on the asian lady lamp with the pink on the chair. I'm also really liking the painting above the fireplace. I would put some more mcm in there, but if robert is a fan of the traditional, I'd add some navy. Can't wait to see what you do in the place you buy.
You guys have truly injected real warmth and soul to this apartment, creating a real gem that is personal and fun. Well done!
Bed-Stuy is a few blocks from me and I love how it has changed over the years. I love the apartment. It is so welcoming and reminds me of some of my families' apartments in Brooklyn. I have a big Last Supper painting in my dining room and it made me smile to see your collection of the painting.
lovely place. I loved your collection of last supper paintings! and the flamingos too!!
My god. The greenery and the legs on the furniture in this place. What a sexy home. Adorable couple all snuggled up so gentlemenly too!
This is wonderfully unique and so fun to see. I especially love your collection of Last Suppers - way cool. Thanks for sharing!
Hi heleena,
The couch is an older IKEA leather sectional with slip-covers from comfort-works.com
Lots of character and charm
You and your snug house...well, you just made me happy.
This is my favorite one to date!
Hehe, love all the Last Supper(s).
Why isn't this in the small cool contest?!?!
Cute, warm, charming? Definitely! Uncluttered? Not so much., Don't get me wrong, I like most of the stuff, but this is not minimal decorating by any definition.
So, is the extra mattress propped against the wall in the sleeping area for overnight guests? Just wondering. It would make me a little claustrophobic if I slept on that side.
I love the built in bar!
Best used of a rocket in a home tour!
Great hard wood floors. Nice apartment.
I want an invite! You are the cutest couple EVER!
What a great place and such a cute couple.
I want them to be my neighbors. How cute are they?! The apartment isn't too shabby either. ;)
Love the paper globe lights above the table, as well as all the plants and mix of modern and cozy.
Really like the art choices. I would have to edit though because I hate to dust. Love the red in the livingroom!
Awesome couple. I Love your kitchen. Something about it is so nice and homey. The window, the plants, the red... Nice.
I have that same Zenith console radio/record player I inherited from my Grandma!!! It turns on but it's missing some wires. One of these days I hope to have it fully functioning. :)
Love this, and really love the crown moulding. My boyfriend owns a place in bed-stuy that was entirely remodeled before he moved in, and my dream is to install this exact kind of moulding. Gotta get away from the flat-walled box and back to the brownstone roots.
There's not a single thing I don't LOVE about this home! I love the plants and the art, the furniture choices and the layout, and the record player! This is the kind of atmosphere I'd wish to create at my house!
What is the backdrop to the photo of both of you?
Hi @CosmosMariner,
The backdrop was a "bamboo ring curtain" from IKEA. Not sure if they carry this item anymore, but you might be able to find something similar at other stores. They also go by "room divider" too. Best of luck!
Just found the actual name - it was the Hultet Drape from IKEA. Maybe you can find one on Craig's List?
Hello! Please help!
I have been hunting everywhere for something similar to the white upholstered dining bench along the wall ( in the dining room). Could you PLEASE tell me where you found it , or what company, or where I could find something similar? Thank you!

Seven's Travels is neither a major step forward nor a gigantic step back; it seems destined to further solidify the group's place within the cozy confines of the counterculture. Ant's loping, piano-heavy production is a step up from the strictly linear beats that underscored God Loves Ugly, but compared side-by-side with the work of contemporaries RJD2 or Omega One (Aesop Rock), they appear slightly lackluster. Similarly, Slug's rhymes have become more pedestrian in nature; it's as if his infatuation with Lucy has faded, and to fill the gaps he's unloaded diary pages worth of sexual hoop dreams that, while less ingratiating that his usual lyrical matter, are by turns droll, mystified and sterile. What's more, Seven's Travels indulges, albeit only mildly, in mainstream rap's corporate-sponsored nihilism -- the thuggish overtones of "Los Angeles" are one diamond-cut chain away from Direct Effect, and in the vituperative "Trying to Find a Balance", Slug disassociates himself from the emo-rap scene ("Stop tryin' to write rhymes and go back to playing volleyball").
Though it's not the emotionally draining follow-up many were expecting, Seven's Travels succeeds. Its saving grace is the fact that Slug and Ant remain ignorant of, or choose to completely ignore, the hip-hop conventions that have handcuffed similar artists for almost a decade.

Members of the Uplay community will also be able to access an invitation only Uplay Lounge in a space near the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Admin vs. standard user and sftp connections
I don't know if this is the correct place to start this thread, but since I think it is firewall related I started here.
Okay, so if I elivate my account to admin I am able to do a tftp connection from my switches to my system with no problems. But when I am a standard(de-elivated) user, I get nothing like the firewall is blocking the port. In fact in the log it says that it drops the port even though the rule shows that it should pass it.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah I am running Windows 7 ultimate and the problem is only with my profile and not the admin profile. I just don't know why it will not allow me to push or pull files.

ScubaLab Review
The Torrent is a relatively lightweight fin constructed of a flexible polypropylene blade and a thermoplastic rubber foot pocket. The face of the blade is fitted with a pair of narrow ribs for stability, and the rubber side rails have notches about two-thirds of the way up the blade to increase blade flex. The blade is positioned on top of the foot pocket, which features an extended footboard and a really effective nonskid pattern to combat slippery boat decks.
The Torrent is not the fastest kicker in the fin box, and its across-the-board ergo performance is middle of the road. The blade's a bit stiff but causes only minimal ankle strain. It's easy to kick but generates only average power. It's a little clunky in turns but overall pretty maneuverable. Test divers didn't find anything they really disliked, but they didn't find anything that sent their finning hearts aflutter either. The only thing that really stood out was the aggressive nonskid pattern that proved to be very effective on a wet deck. As one test diver remarked, "Functional, but uninspiring."
Bottom Line
The Torrent gets the job done, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. For the price, you could do worse.

Address Given To Public On Today Show During Finance Portion Of Show. Complaint
Told It Was Wise To Get A Free Credit Report By Your News Media ! Ha! - Free Credit Check
ON the Today Show
While watching your show the darling girls advised persons to get a credit check and said a location and name on where to get a free one. I thought it was a grand idea and followed to their website. I did as instructed by website and gave them cc number against my better judgment. I decided I would not complete the rest of the info and got off the internet. I looked at the cc and noticed that I had been billed 79. plus dollars for something that I did not receive nor follow through to the end. I think that you sweet lady should not say this is a free site nor should that firm lead them on.
Thanks for your help.

Grabbing, Snatching, Blink and You Be Gone
Carrie Mae Weems (American, born 1953)
1993. Oil on canvas, 20 x 60". 2000.021a-c
Carrie Mae Weems's art addresses issues of ethnic, racial, and gender identity. Exploring the complexity of history and contemporary life, Weems has sought to uncover both the African and the American cultural origins of African- American heritage. This triptych is of Gorée Island, off the coast of Dakar, from Weems's Slave Coast series. For Weems, Gorée symbolizes the slave trade as a point of connection to many places and tribes in Africa. Her photograph of this last of the many, grim holding facilities built for use in the trade captures a haunting and timeless presence, while at the same time insisting on the present- day existence of the structure and its location.

Catherine Filene Shouse (June 9, 1896 – December 14, 1994) was a researcher and philanthropist. She graduated in 1918 from Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts.[1] She worked for the Women's Division of the U.S. Employment Service of the Department of Labor, and the Democratic National Committee. She was also the editor of the Woman's National Democratic Committee's Bulletin (1929–32), and the first woman to chair the Federal Prison for Women Board. Finally, she was a strong supporter of the arts, and served as chair of the President's Music Committee's Person-to-Person Program (1957–1963). In 1966 she donated her personal property, Wolf Trap Farm, to the National Park Service. This farm would go on to become Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts.\n\n
In 1977, Catherine Shouse was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Gerald Ford, and was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1994. In 2007, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.\n
A philanthropist and patron of the arts, Catherine Filene Shouse is best remembered for her establishment of Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. It was because of her significant donations of family land in 1961 and 1966, that this one-of-kind center exists today. She later funded an amphitheater on the site named the Filene Center, in honor of her Boston retailing family.\n
Catherine Filene was born in Boston in 1896 and graduated from Wheaton College in 1918. As a result of her college efforts to promote jobs for educated women, she was hired by the Women's Division of the Employment Service of the United States Department of Labor. She later enrolled at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and in 1923 became the recipient of the school's first degree awarded to a woman.\n
In 1921, Catherine married economist Alvin Dodd, whom she later divorced. In 1931, she married Jouett Shouse, a former congressman from Kansas. During her residence in the nation's capital, Shouse became active in Democratic Party politics and was the first woman ever appointed to the Democratic National Committee.\n
In 1926, President Calvin Coolidge appointed her the first chairwoman of the first federal prison for women. There, she used her educational background to establish a job-training program for prisoners.\n
During the next 20 years she developed a highly successful dog-breeding kennel at Wolf Trap and at the same time became very involved in the music and cultural scene in Washington. She was on the board of the National Symphony Orchestra, serving as vice-president for 17 years.\n
In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed her to the first board of the National Cultural Center, now the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, where she served for more than 20 years. Her many years of philanthropic support of the arts earned Shouse fourteen honorary Doctor of Humanities, Law, Letters, and Music degrees, as well as innumerable citations and awards including Dame Commander of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth II. The highest U.S. civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, was awarded to Shouse in 1977 by President Gerald R. Ford. In her later years, Shouse, was often seen touring the grounds of her lasting legacy. More than half a million people now visit Wolf Trap annually.\n\n

It's no secret that the celebrity realm really loves him, and President Barack Obama just had a song dedicated to him by none other than Mariah Carey.
The "Always Be My Baby" singer has released her new single "Bring It On Home" to celebrate Obama's re-election to the Office of the President.
It was a tense evening as the votes were counted last night (November 6) and when the dust settled President Barack Obama was elected to a second term in office.
And once the news spread, celebrities all over the world took to their Twitter accounts to share their reactions.
Having put together what's being dubbed as a near-perfect campaign, President Barack Obama appears to be staying put in the White House for four more years.
The current U.S. Commander-In-Chief's re-election was called by major media outlets after the State of Ohio and its eighteen electoral votes were named as having been won by Obama.
Fully immersing themselves in Tuesday's political festivities, the stars took to the polling booths and Twitter to sound off on the Presidential election.
His job performance over the past four years has received mixed reviews from the American people, but President Barack Obama is getting nothing but love from Beyoncé Knowles.
The "Crazy in Love" songstress shared a letter she wrote to the Commander-In-Chief via her website yesterday in which she lavishes him with compliments.
Bringing the beats for a last minute push for votes, Jay Z performed at a campaign rally for President Obama in Columbus, Ohio on Monday (November 5).
The 42-year-old rapper wore a black Brooklyn Nets jacket and black pants as he changed the words to his "99 Problems" hit to "I got 99 problems, but Mitt ain't one."
Taking his blue collar rock to the swing state of Wisconsin, Bruce Springsteen performed at a campaign rally for President Barack Obama in Madison, Wisconsin on Monday (November 5).
The Boss wore a black vest, gray dress shirt, dark tie, and blue jeans as he posed with the President and broke out the guitar to energize the audience members.
Again showing her support for Barack Obama, Katy Perry performed at the President's re-election campaign rally in downtown Milwaukee on Saturday (November 3).
With rock legend Bruce Springsteen also on-hand, the "Hot N Cold" hitmaker livened up the Delta Center venue while decked out in a purple, body-hugging ensemble with the word 'Forward' written from top to bottom.

In Touch - June 6, 2014
June 6
Paul was a man who lived life to the full. His goals were to know Christ, abide in His power, fellowship in His suffering, and preach the gospel (Phil. 3:10; 1 Cor. 1:17). In doing so, he aligned his aspirations with the Lord's, diligently worked to fulfill his calling, and persevered through opposition, persecution, and suffering. He could face the end of his life with confidence since he'd "fought the good fight," "finished the course," and "kept the faith" (2 Tim. 4:7).
We'd all like to be able to say the same at the end of our lives, but that means we have to follow Paul's example. How are you doing at setting goals for your life? Have you thought beyond the immediate and set some long-term objectives? Our culture is so fast-paced that few of us take the time to actually consider where we're going. But you don't want to finish your life and find out you were on a course other than God's, fighting the wrong fight, and struggling to keep the faith.
Why not set aside some time this week to get alone with the Lord. Then ask His help in setting goals that will take you where He wants you to go. Consider every area of your life--personal, relational, financial, and vocational--but make spiritual goals your primary emphasis. Then write them down.
If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting. Maybe it's time to get out of your rut and find a new path. God will help you change direction and accomplish new goals that align with His will. Don't settle for the mediocrity of an unplanned life. Start living intentionally.

The Revenge season finale was so jam-packed, it included not one but two arrests, the death of a major character (maybe two!) and the kind of big reveal for which the term "game-changer" was coined. So let's dive in, shall we?
After Aiden reveals to Emily that Takeda wanted revenge as much as they did – his fiancée had been on Flight 197 – they amicably break up and he leaves for parts unknown… only to be arrested for blowing up Grayson Global. As soon as he's released from custody, the Brit heads right back to Emily's, where he warns Daniel to set her free. (Since there's a gun in the room during their scuffle, and since Daniel ends the episode with blood on his shirt, it seems safe to assume that their brawl doesn't conclude with a handshake.)
Enamored of Charlotte, Regina accuses Declan of beating her up and robbing her. (Lies, of course… all lies!) But he's no sooner set the record straight than he's caught in the Initiative's explosion at Grayson Global and – gulp! – dies! In a blind rage, Jack – Conrad's desired victim – shows up at Grayson Manor packing heat. "Do it," Victoria says when he points his pistol at her. "I deserve it." Instead, he allows her punishment to be her own miserable existence… which seems likely to get even more miserable when castoff son Patrick comes knocking.
Victoria is so livid when Conrad admits to her that "there is no Initiative," just a bunch of corporate blood-suckers – and he's now one of them! – that she spits on him! But, ironically, it's neither Conrad nor any of his Initiative cronies that are ultimately arrested for the cyber attack that blacked out New York and led to the blowup at Grayson Global – it's Nolan. Adding insult to injury, he's implicated from beyond the grave by a video Padma was forced to make!
Determined to make Conrad pay for taking away both Amanda and Declan, Jack plans to assassinate the new Governor just as he is giving his acceptance speech. Luckily – or not, depending on your feelings about Conrad – Emily gets to Jack in time to stop him… by revealing that he hasn't lost everything, because – dun-dun-DUN! – she's Amanda!
that is this weeks revenge review. until next year, what goes around comes around.
p.s I'm going to start writing a blog for a program called once upon a time which i have just started watching and it seems really good. I have missed the first season and two programs from the second season but i can catch up on them so ill be using this blog but ill change the title and the pic for now until revenge comes back on.

Solano Storage Bench 10 10
Great storage bench The bench arrived in perfect condition. It is roomy inside for quilts, blankets, pillows, etc... and the hinged top works well, stays up when open, and the top is comfortable to sit on. We have it at the end of our bed in the master bedroom. The color is a little lighter than the picture, however, but blends with our other furniture. This bench would be great in a garden room or hallway, as well. We are very pleased with the quality of this product. If you like the look of rattan, you will love this bench. We also own a leather ottoman that we purchesed two years ago from grandinroad. It, too, is a great product and has exceeded our expectations. March 4, 2013
Fantastic Storage Bench We are delighted with this beautiful, woven storage bench! It arrived ahead of the expected arrival date in absolutely perfect condition. We placed it in a guest bedroom at the foot of a king size bed where it not only serves as a very sturdy seat and extra storage, it also adds warmth and wonderful texture to the room. March 4, 2013
Love it! I ordered this bench to be used as a coffee table. Its surface is so much more forgiving under tired feet than traditional hard-surface coffee tables. I'm looking for another coffee table made with similar material for my parlor. I love the texture it brings to the room. The extra storage space is just a bonus. January 31, 2013
Attractive piece but... I purchased this bench to be used as a coffee table/footstool. I noticed after a couple of days of use that the dark stain on the bench was wearing off where my shoes had been. I know it wasn't meant as a footstool but didn't expect that the finish would wear off as it did. January 31, 2013
Love this bench! I got this bench to go in a guest suite in our lake house. It seems well built, sturdy enough to sit on if needed and stylish. I like the summer cottage look of it and the dimensions were perfect for the spot I needed. I really love the color and weave pattern too. June 29, 2012
Great Addition The storage bench is great. It is quality construction and beautiful. We get complements all the time. The bench looks just like the picture and the color is true. February 1, 2013
Beautiful bench I purchased this for the foot of my king bed. The texture of the bench adds much to the room's decor. It appears well made. I am very pleased with the purchase. February 1, 2013
Good purchase I bought this based on the other reviews and they turned out to be accurate. I am really enjoying this piece. I am a litte sceptical about sitting on it though. January 10, 2013

"Interestingly, when they left, I had a bad feeling that maybe we shouldn't have lost them and this is when the idea came about that we should see if they could work as a group. We invited these five guys back. They were the only five we cared about. The minute they stood there for the first time together – it was a weird feeling. They just looked like a group at that point. I had a good feeling, but when they came to my house in Spain and performed, after about a millionth of a second. I tried to keep a straight face for a bit of drama for the show. I remember sitting next to this girl who I was working with. The second they left we jumped out of my chair and said, "These guys are incredible!" They just had it. They had this confidence. They were fun. They worked out the arrangements themselves. They were like a gang of friends, and kind of fearless as well."

Britain's Ministry of Defence might sell its RAF Northolt air base in the west London suburbs as part of aggressive budget cuts. The airfield is already used for limited business aviation operations, and these could potentially increase if the property is sold to a company wanting to operate it as an airport. However, if Northolt is sold for some other commercial purpose, then the airport could be history. The options are due to be considered as part of a wider review of UK airport capacity to be launched in the spring.
Battle of Britain
It's quite literally fit for a queen and no more than a 40-minute drive to the heart of London, and these days the Royal Air Force's Northolt base has capacity to spare for business aircraft. Although civil aircraft movements are limited to a ceiling of 7,000 per year, much more often than not it is perfectly possible to get a slot at the secure and conveniently situated airfield in the UK capital's northwestern suburbs.
The UK Royal Air Force mounted the biggest flypast seen in Europe for many years over RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, last Friday. On the ground, the Queen presented new colors to the RAF and the RAF Regiment with due ceremony, to mark the service's 90th anniversary. Fortunately, the popular song title came true, and the rain did not fall on her parade.
A new executive aircraft handling operation was launched last month at the London-area Royal Air Force Northolt base (EGWU). Premier Service is being offered through the new Northolt Handling joint venture between Regional Airports Ltd., which owns Biggin Hill (EGKB) and Southend (EGMC) airports, and Serco, which operates a line-maintenance facility at the airfield.
Britain's Ministry of Defence (MoD) is considering plans to allow 30- or 40 percent more business aviation traffic at the Royal Air Force's London-area Northolt base. At the same time, newly formed Northolt Business Aviation is preparing to offer unused air force hangar space to corporate operators.

I was scrolling back through all the things I had posted and I came across this.
"However, this does not mean that I do not try or that I do not make new friends. I think this idea of "ever-lasting friendships" can cause us to fear making friends. We fear getting close to people, because once someone knows intimate things about us they have the power to tell anyone they want. But what is life without friends? Despite all the hardships and tears friends have brought me , I do not regret any of it. I would do it all over again, because I would not be there person I am today if I had not gone through what I have. Every day I learn new things about myself, through the process of making friends.
I am writing this not to discourage you from making friends, but to encourage you to take chances! Make friends, talk to people, throw yourself out there and let yourself flourish. We as humans need companionship and it will only happen if you let it!"
I happen to be struggling with this right now and so I saw this and I reminded myself that friendship is worth it. It may never work out the way we planned and it may never life up to our loft, personal definition of "friend" but that should not deter us from trying.After all no one is perfect and to truly love and care about someone is to accept them and their imperfections.

Can I pretend that we are friends? Because I really want us to be friends, but I am not sure how you feel about it. Also to admit to myself that we are not friends makes me feel sad and alone. I am tired of people leaving me and I am not sure I can take another person doing it.
So please, can we pretend? Or even better, can you say that we are?

I always thought that I would be happy with my natural 'beauty.' But now that I have started to use makeup I have a hard time liking how I look without it.
I told myself I would never be dependent on makeup to feel pretty…but here I am…dependent on makeup to feel like I have a pretty face.

My daughter attended the daycare from the "baby room" through pre-k and I was very happy. I had a great relationship with all of her teachers and everyone from the front office to the lunchroom ladies were very nice. Thanks to all their hardwork my daughter has been tested for the Gifted Program at her elementary school. I know that this would not have happened if it weren't for the great teachers she had. I am pregnant with my second daughter and know that my baby will be going to this day care as soon as I can get her in.
my daughter goes here and is in pre-k. i am satisfied with the food program way more then i ever expected. most schools dont have lettuce and tomato for sandwiches and salad for lunches. now its not that way everyday but i am happy with it. my daughter is however bored at school, she is very advanced and i really only sent her for the interaction with the other students. they also constantly send home books to read which is awesome. the place is very clean.
I have worked here for several weeks and find the care of the kids and cleanliness is exceptional. We are encouraged to work and help parents and kids every way we can.

Pilots of Accident GIV Noted 'Control Problems'
The pilots of the Gulfstream IV-SP that crashed on Saturday while taking off from Runway 11 at Bedford Hanscom Field near Boston reported "control problems" after reaching rotation speed, according to preliminary cockpit voice recorder information released by the NTSB on Tuesday evening. All seven people aboard–three crewmembers and four passengers–died in the runway overrun accident.
NTSB senior investigator Luke Schiada, who is the investigator in charge for this accident, declined to elaborate further about the "control problems," but he did say the crew made the normal V1 and Vr callouts before noting the problem and aborting the takeoff. Schiada also said that the preliminary flight data recorder information indicated that the GIV-SP did not become airborne and reached 165 knots before it "began decelerating as thrust reversers were engaged and brake pressures rose." The aircraft left tire marks of an unspecified length on Runway 11.
The Gulfstream crashed into a ravine in a wooded area about 2,000 feet beyond the end of the runway along its extended centerline. The aircraft was largely consumed in a post-crash fire. Investigators are expected to remain on scene throughout this week.

The story behind Jerry Preston's mild custom '59 Bonneville is a familiar one. Jerry had a similar car back in the early '60s, and it was always one of his favorites. "It was a fast car in its day," Jerry says, noting that his had the triple-carb setup atop the 389ci mill. Introduced at a time when Pontiac was shedding its stodgy image for a more youthful persona, the '59s debuted the company's now-signature split grille styling, as well as the "wide track" chassis design. They also grew wild, twin-blade fins atop each quarter-panel.
It's worth noting that Jerry grew up in south Los Angeles county and cruised the boulevards in Bellflower, Lakewood, and Long Beach during the area's mild custom heyday. And even though his Bonneville didn't wear a coveted Watson spray job, it sounds like it was plenty cool with custom gold paint, chrome wheels, and a moderately lowered suspension.
A few years back, Jerry picked up another '59 Bonneville, a bright red hardtop that's restored to stock condition with the exception of an airbag suspension. He still longed for a more modified version, however. "My idea was to do what I would have 46 years ago if I had the money," Jerry says. So he tracked down another Bonne and set out to build a mild custom companion to his resto ride.
"Taking advantage of the size of the car, my first thought was to get it as low as possible," Jerry says. Over at the Bag Man in Anaheim, Ponch adjusted the Poncho's altitude with a quartet of air springs, while the addition of full-length lakes pipes and fender skirts offered the illusion of an even lower, longer cruiser. When asked if it's low enough, Jerry declares, "It's almost there!"
Beyond the airbags, the Bonneville's chassis was rebuilt and restored, while Bryce Auto freshened up the 389ci mill with new rings and bearings and an HEI distributor. Ace Muffler, meanwhile, gave the car a classic sound by building a dual exhaust system with 26-inch glasspacks.
Considering the car's bold factory styling, Jerry had R&B Auto Body refrain from making any major metal changes. Instead, the shop stripped the body bare, repaired what little damage there was, shaved the emblems and door handles, and laid down a smooth coat of 2006 Corvette Red Pearl paint. The rich exterior color was contrasted nicely by yards and yards of pearl white tuck 'n' roll with burgundy inserts, ably stitched by OC Custom Upholstery.
Yes, it's a familiar tale: boy gets car; boy loses car; man re-creates car when he's better able to afford and appreciate it. That doesn't make Jerry's land yacht of a Pontiac any less cool, though, and it hasn't kept him from enjoying the wide-track ride and earning awards wherever he cruises.

Contrast between reactions from Egyptian government and Libyan government has been one of the major topic past few days - and many journalists and experts touched on this subject. Among them, by far this take by Thanassis Cambanis is the most solid, clear description of how and what Obama should deal with Egypt - as long as I've read.
Thanassis Cambanis:
Don't get me wrong: he [Obama] needs to "engage" the Brotherhood, which means, "have relations" with it. In this case, the engagement should consist of a cold, angry, demand: that they immediately condemn the invasion of the embassy grounds, and that they act responsibly to cool anti-American sentiment—if they expect our financial aid, our military aid, and our indispensible support in getting the IMF and other international assistance vital to Egypt's economic survival.
Those who think these embassy attacks are a result of Obama's "weakness" and "apologizing" already have their minds made up. But there are reasonable people who will watch to see if Obama seems tough—like the guy who killed bin Laden and regularly assassinates people in foreign countries—or craven, like an apologist for Al Qaeda groupies. I don't know how this plays with the portion of the public whose minds are not already made up. I think it will hurt Obama if he doesn't criticize Egypt aggressively, and in public. And I think the damage could grow if people connect these breaches to America's broader directionless in the wake of the Arab uprisings.
That's the real problem, by the way—not the stuff Romney is bringing up.

One of the best ways to enjoy the scenic coastline and escarpment around Wollongong is from the air. Why not try a tandem hang-glide from Bald Hill Lookout near Stanwell Park, a joy flight over the coast or freefalling at 250km/hr on a sky dive.
Must Do
Wollongong adventureWollongong is a great adventure escape with plenty of outdoor activities to choose from at the region's beaches, lakes and rivers.
Start with a walk across Sea Cliff Bridge, a scenic highlight on the Grand Pacific Drive from which you'll enjoy panoramic coastal views north and south. The cliffs that rise sharply from the coast here, combined with strong air currents, make this a great place to go hang-gliding; in fact it's the hang-gliding capital of Australia. If you've ever thought you'd like to try hang-gliding, Bald Hill at Stanwell Tops is one of the best spots in Australia to do it. Several experienced operators offer tandem hang-gliding for all skill levels. You'll soar above the cliffs and ocean before landing on Stanwell Park Beach. For the more adventurous, Wollongong is also home to Australia's only beach skydive including a night-skydive.
Cycling is popular around Wollongong because of the extensive network of bike tracks along the coast. You can even enjoy a cycling holiday with the whole family, taking two days to ride from Wollongong along the coast to Kiama.
Wollongong is surrounded by beautiful beaches and you can learn to surf with accredited surf schools at many of them. If you're an experienced surfer, check out the waves at Scarborough Beach, Thommos break at Coledale and Sandon Point. If you enjoy walking, follow the 5.5-km track at Mt Keira, passing through beautiful eucalypt and rainforest. This is just one of the walking tracks in the Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area.
For family-friendly adventure, don't miss Jamberoo Action Park which has high-speed waterslides and rides, a downhill bobsled and favourite rides such as The Taipan and Surf Hill. Close by is the Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk, a 1500 m-walk through beautiful warm temperate rainforest with great views out to the ocean.

Going into the Feb.13 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita much of the focus centered on the speed of the race. Two sons of Tiznow-Tiz Chrome and American Lion-seemed the logical selections on paper but as often happens on Santa Anita's Pro-Ride surface, two speed types don't do each other any favors.
Good riders know that leaving a quality horse loose on an uncontested lead over a traditional dirt surface more often than not leads to certain defeat. The handicapping laws that govern Pro-Ride however are very different. Lost lengths can be gathered in quickly in the later stages with embattled leaders often affording little or no resistance.
For the San Felipe, trainer Eoin Harty has equipped American Lion with blinkers and in fact the colt worked beautifully in the new equipment working a sprightly 5 furlongs in1:00 flat. Once again there appears a dangerous speed type in the form of the talented Candy Ride colt Sidney's Candy. This time American Lion must refrain from engaging the leader. He must cruise along in his own comfort zone and not worry about what the leader is doing. Jockey Julien Leparoux is a master at doing just that. The fact he has chosen to fly in from Gulfstream for the mount suggests the young Frenchman still believes the son of Tiznow can realize the enormous potential he showed when breaking his maiden last fall at Keeneland.
