MEDFORD, WI -- Hurd Windows & Doors announces the introduction of its Luxury Wood Grain Collection, an industry-leading line of wood grain aluminum clad colors. For the first time, homeowners will be able to get the warmth and beauty of a wood grain exterior with all the benefits of Hurd's low maintenance, heavy duty, extruded aluminum cladding that's at least twice as thick as its competitors' roll-form cladding.

Hurd's new wood grain exterior aluminum cladding comes in six finish colors: Antique Walnut, Burl Walnut, Classic Cherry, Knotty Pine, Manor Oak, and Royal Mahogany. Each has its own color and grain pattern to resemble its real wood counterpart. The line, which is rated as an AAMA 2604 grade finish, will be available on all of Hurd's aluminum clad wood windows and patio doors, including its award winning H3.

This is the second expansion this year of Hurd's line of leading designer exterior color options. Earlier this summer, the company unveiled a new Trends Color Palette featuring seven new colors. Additionally, Hurd's extensive color choices include 15 standard colors, five anodized finishes, and the option to custom-match any color.

This solutions-based new product is both a homeowner's and designer's dream, according to Hurd's Dominic Truniger. "The Luxury Wood Grain Collection is something your neighbors won't have because it is very new to market. So, you'll achieve the curb appeal of a luxury, stained, all-wood window without the exterior maintenance hassles. And you'll do it before anyone else in the neighborhood."

Truniger added, "This is yet another demonstration of Hurd's vision to be at the forefront of leading innovations and trends, just as we did with H3, CoreGuard, Ultra-R, and our recently announced Trends Color Palette. We aspire to always be the pacesetters for the industry."

ATLANTIC CITY - As the final guests checked out of the Revel Casino Hotel on Monday morning, some said they were convinced that the $2.4 billion bankrupt property would reopen under a new owner.

"I don't think it's going to stay closed," said Paul Hergen, 42, who, with his wife and 3-year-old daughter, was enjoying Revel's two-acre landscaped patio and its wide views of the Atlantic Ocean.

"I think it's the most amazing property there's ever been in Atlantic City," said Hergen, of Greenwich, Conn., who said he has been coming to Atlantic City since he was 18.

Hergen and other hotel guests were scheduled to check out by 11 a.m. Monday. The casino was supposed to continue operating until 6 a.m. Tuesday, but early Sunday evening only a smattering of gamblers remained on the floor.

Off the casino floor, loyal gamblers were collecting a final gift from Revel: an eight-piece melamine bowl set, including measuring cups. One couple walked away with a menu from Amada restaurant signed by the chefs.

The closure of Revel, which opened in April 2012 and employed 2,814 in July, follows the end of casino operations on Sunday at Showboat after 27 years. Trump Plaza is scheduled to close Sept. 16, bringing total job losses to about 5,700 for the three casinos. All are victims of the proliferation of casinos in Pennsylvania and other neighboring states since 2006.

But in its short time of operation, Revel won some diehard fans.

Three friends from New York, for example, regulars who stayed overnight at Revel at least once a month, were having fun taking pictures of each other on one of the long escalators that lead up to the hotel lobby on the 11th floor.

Jayne Lord, of the Bronx, and Lucille Alexander, of West Chester County, N.Y., wore T-shirts that said "RIP My Beloved Revel." On the back there was a campy comic-book figure of a woman crying and saying, "My Revel is gone."

Friend Robert Lorenzo said Revel grew on him. "The more I came here, the more I loved it," said Lorenzo, also of the Bronx.

"The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express."

-- Francis Bacon

Imagine sitting in a 100-year-old patio courtyard surrounded by vibrant red bougainvillea twining and twirling around static iron balconies. You look up and see a Della Robbia-style Madonna and Child plaque on a high Moorish-type wall with a thousand intricate curves. Red Spanish tile walkways show slight dips from a hundred years of footfall. Twittering birds flit to a fountain trickling small streams of water to separate basins. Does this sound like a peaceful, somewhat exotic destination? Does it make you want to reach for your passport and be whisked off to Spain or Morocco?

Even though this courtyard with its terra-cotta tones resembles a captivating destination like Spain, it is right here in Southern California Riverside to be exact. For me it is reminiscent of a trip to Spain. Others might be taken back to a time in Morocco or Italy but most will probably just revel in the immediate beauty of this historic hotel called the Mission Inn.

One of the joys of traveling is to be transported to a world that is inspiring and beautiful... and will serve to awaken the senses. A visit to the Mission Inn will do just that.

This National Historic Landmark has inspired many a dignitary. Ten U.S. presidents have visited, including President Richard Nixon and his wife Pat, who were married at the Mission Inn. President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy spent their wedding night at the hotel. In 1926, Crown Prince Gustavus and Princess Louise of Sweden were guests.

The Mission Inn is close enough for lunch, and distant enough for an overnight stay. Built in "Mission Revival" style, the hotel has had various construction phases, but the first wing was completed by Frank Miller in 1903, over a 100 years ago.

This architectural showpiece is furnished with priceless treasures and unique objects that Miller collected during his world Advertisement [ Fallbrook Mattress ] travels. He amassed a staggering amount of bells, 400 of which can be found on the grounds of the inn. Tiffany stained glass windows, Chinese vases and various architectural accoutrements unite in a delightful array of the eclectic like a small-scale Hearst Castle.

Guests are free to wander most of the property and discover a myriad of architectural wonders a Spanish-style chapel, fountains, reflecting pools, intricately fashioned doors and colorful tiled roofs. Like the Hearst Castle, there is something fascinating around every corner.
