I have been in this hotel since May while in DC for work. The rooms are comfortable. The staff is amazing. I am greeted each morning by name during breakfast. The same is true each evening by the front desk staff.
I had a few stuffed animals in a bag in my room for my children. One of the housekeepers mistakenly threw them away. I notified the front desk. The agent there was very apologetic about it. She took a description of the stuffed animals. She then went to a local store and replaced them. The replacements were better than the ones that I originally had.
I am very happy that this is the hotel I am staying in for work. I truly feel as if the hotel staff care for the guests. I feel as they are friends and family.

We present a successful synthesis of single crystalline homogeneous Si1-xGex nanowires (diameter: 7~52 nm) via vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. Results show that quality, density, and growth rate of Si1-xGex nanowires are greatly affected by the growth temperature and the single crystalline Si1-xGex nanowires without amorphous sheath layer can be obtained at optimized growth temperature. Control of the amount of Ge in nanowire was obtained with different GeH4 gas flow rates. Using back-gated field effect transistor integrated with HfO2 gate dielectric, TaN/Ta metal gate and Pd source/drain electrode, Si1-xGex nanowire transistor exhibits p-MOS operation with Ion/Ioff~104, sub-threshold swing of 97 mV/dec.

Group seeks to double number of US students abroad
An international education institute is working to double the number of U.S. students studying abroad by 2019.
AP Education Writer
An international education institute is working to double the number of U.S. students studying abroad by 2019.
To reach the goal, the Institute of International Education will focus on recruiting more low-income students and others who have not participated in high numbers. Already, 160 colleges and universities have committed to participate.
The institute's campaign was being announced Monday.
Hundreds of thousands more international students annually come to the United States to study than the U.S. sends abroad. About 10 percent of U.S. students participate in some sort of study abroad program before graduation, with private liberal arts colleges, in particular, having higher participation rates. But the rate is lower at many institutions. For example, many community colleges see less than 1 percent of students going abroad for study.
The campaign, dubbed Generation Study Abroad, seeks to have 600,000 U.S. students studying abroad annually in five years in either credit or noncredit programs -- compared with the 295,000 students who did so in the 2011-12 school year.
Career enhancement is one of the main reasons it's important to get more students into such programs, said Daniel Obst, the institute's deputy vice president for international partnerships.
The institute's 100th anniversary is in 2019. It has committed $2 million toward its goal and is raising money for a study-abroad fund. It also has other partners and is encouraging colleges and universities to look for ways to help students pay to study abroad, since cost is the largest barrier.
Among the examples of what colleges and universities have pledged to do, according to the institute:
--Millikin University in Decatur, Ill., has said it will encourage departments to introduce new minors in which students can earn most or all of their credits abroad, so they won't worry about losing a semester of work if they study in another country.
--North Dakota State University in Fargo seeks to match campus demographics with those of students studying abroad by reaching out to students in underrepresented groups such as veterans, athletes and first-generation students.
--The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater said it will establish an endowed study-abroad scholarship for students with physical, learning or other disabilities.

Holiday Card Project 2014Holiday Card Project 2014 by madizzlee
The deviantART #HolidayCardProject is back for its 8th year! With the goal of bringing a bit of holiday cheer to patients in the hospital during the holiday season, the Holiday Card Project connects artists from around the world, applying their tremendous artistic abilities to designing and creating uplifting holiday cards.
In 2013 alone, the Project received more than 5,000 cards sent in by more than 2,000 deviants from 60 different countries/political regions. Cards were then divvied up and distributed by deviantART members to local Los Angeles hospitals, with additional cards given to various hospitals in the U.S. and abroad for deviantART volunteers and hospital staff members to hand out to patients.
The idea behind the Holiday Card Project is simple: do something nice for others. However, if you're looking for even more incentive, every deviant who sends in a card will

The MusicianThere once was a musician, who lived beyond the sea,
one of the most profound in music that there could ever be.
A slender man with black hair and a lovely face,
he could sing and play music with impeccable grace.
Leaving his audiences with a melodic tale and tears to trace,
he soon became famous, forever leaving his commoners place.
There once was a musician, who lived beyond the sea,
he passionately poured his soul into his work as many agree.
He was so very young and handsome, talented and smart,
it was no surprise that many loved him from the start.
Until the day he found a woman he could give his heart,
promising each other under an oak tree to never be apart.
There once was a musician, who lived beyond the sea,
they married with rings inscribed "Forever will I love thee."
Although he was very busy, for her he was always there,
he'd do little things to show her how he really did care.
Such as holding her tightly while playing with her hair,
and giving her a locket which she would

It may also affect other populations, researcher says
FRIDAY, Nov. 2 (HealthDay News) -- A variant of a gene that doubles the risk of prostate cancer in black men has been identified, and researchers say the discovery could lead to new treatments.
Almost twice as many black men develop prostate cancer as white men, researchers report. This study confirms that common genetic variants are linked to increased risk for prostate cancer. One of these variants, on the 8q24 gene, confers a particularly significant risk to black men.
"We found a gene involved in increased risk for prostate cancer in African-Americans," said lead researcher Rick Kittles, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Chicago. "This gene is involved in DNA repair."
In the study, Kittles' team looked at the 8q24 region of chromosome 8 and compared genotypes of 490 black men with prostate cancer to 567 controls.
Their report was published in the Oct. 31 online edition of Genome Research.
Finding these variants enables researchers to find out how the gene works in prostate cancer, Kittles said. "We hope to find more treatment options, or even prevention," he added.
"This gene is not exclusive to African-Americans," Kittles stressed. "This variant may be in higher frequency in African-Americans, but it's not exclusive to African-Americans."
Kittles' team is looking at this variant in other populations to try to determine how much of a role it plays in the risk for prostate cancer in other groups of men. "We know the variant is there. We need to see if it is involved in prostate cancer risk in these populations, too," he said.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. This year, 27,000 men in the United States will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. Black men have the highest rates of prostate cancer worldwide.

I recently was sent a new myTouch 4G from T-Mobile about a month ago. Everything has been going well so far except, of course, I came across my first problem today. Early this morning I was listening to an audio file when my screen turned off and refused to turn back on. I had it connected to the charger and the charging light was still on as well as the audio file that continued playing so I knew my phone was still on. I tried pushing buttons but the screen would not turn back on so I took the battery out and put it back in, attempting a restart. Ever since then, the same cycle occurs: the bright welcome screen starts up, stays on for a long time, crashes, and then repeats. This is what happens whenever I remove the battery and try to restart it. As previously mentioned I had first experienced this problem early this morning and plenty of hours later it is still repeating the issue.

Michael Vick's uncle was just popped for running a heroin ring in Virginia:
Michael Vick's uncle has been arrested and charged in a federal heroin bust in Newport News. Joseph Vick Jr., 57, of Newport News, is accused of…… being a midlevel distributor who was responsible for the distribution of heroin to more than 40 street-level dealers. He was one of 22 people arrested Thursday in a coordinated effort led by the FBI.
Joseph Vick is the brother of both Brenda Vick, the NFL star's mother, and Councilwoman Tina Vick. Tina Vick confirmed Thursday that Joseph Vick is her brother, but she didn't know he had been arrested. "I had not heard about any of that," she said.
According to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Newport News, Joseph Vick dealt drugs with his live-in girlfriend, Tonnette Williams, listed as either 42 or 43 years old, of Newport News. She's also accused of being a midlevel distributor. "(Joseph) Vick and his live-in girlfriend … get bundles of heroin" from other drug dealers, "and Vick distributes the heroin," according to the affidavit, written by Newport News Master Police Detective Brandon E. Price.
Bundles of heroin typically contain about 10 "bags," which are equal to about 100 milligrams each. Confidential police informants purchased drugs five times from Joseph Vick, who was then living on 41st Street, the affidavit said. One informant made buys on Dec. 2, Dec. 11 and Dec. 13, 2008. Another informant bought drugs on Jan. 3 and Jan. 23, 2009.
The affidavit states Joseph Vick paid $60 per bundle, and sold them at a profit. One reference in the affidavit says he sold each bundle for $100 apiece, while another said he sold them for $200 each. The purchases were "monitored and recorded using video surveillance equipment," according to the affidavit. In lab tests, the substances all came back as heroin. The two informants, the affidavit states, are "being compensated financially" for their cooperation.

SO makes quick arrest in Feb. 13 shooting
On the heels of a drive by shooting on Jan. 31, investigators with the Tunica County Sheriff's Department have been piecing together the details on another local incident.
At 4 p.m. on Feb. 13, deputies were dispatched to 1096 Collins Street after reports of a shooting. Authorities found an injured man at the home. He had reportedly suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis. He was released earlier this week.
Judges needed to pick best of wildest
Have you ever wanted to get a taste of what the Wild Game Cookoff is all about? Now's your chance, according to Tunica Main Street Director Lynn Ryals.
Judges are needed in three drink categories and six food categories for this year's cookoff, set for Feb. 25 and 26. Seven judges will score entries and decide winners starting at 10 a.m.
"In the past, we've had 10 judges, but now we're going to have seven in each," Ryals said. " The teams had asked us to do that since 10 people is a lot to prepare things for."

So smooth and velvety I can wear this on its own without TM or foundation; by itself it evens out my skin tone, diminishes the look of my pores, controls oil without looking dry, and has mineral sunscreen (i.e. doesn't break me out and actually seems to calm my mild rosacea--that's the zinc). I'm pale, so maybe that's why I can wear it by itself, but on casual days it certainly streamlines my routine. Love it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm not a primer expert but I have tried a few in the past. I have dry skin and need a primer that will help foundation apply more smoothly and last longer. This feels like a lotion without the silicone slip to it. It feels very different from other primers I've used. I notice that my foundation lasts a lot longer but somehow, it makes my foundation look much cakier than usual regardless of what foundation I was using! I even look OLDER and I have never experienced this with any primer. I suppose this could possibl work extremely well for those with oily skin but it just didn't work well with my dry skin.
Good primer.... yes it is expensive, but I wait for my Sephora VIB discounts to purchase this ....... this helps make my face smooth and helps with lighter foundations (BB creams) ....... Hourglass is a fantastic product line and I swear by their Vein Mineral Primer as well as their eyeshadows. I find that I like No. 28 better as it makes my face feel smooth and soft as well as works better with my foundation. Good choice for lighter foundation formulas or bb creams.

This stuff feels great on my skin! I'm used to Primers that are silicone based, and I can tell that this is definitely not. It feels very different than, say, Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. That one feels silicone-y to me. Hourglass feels like a matte lotion and a little goes a long way! It comes out as a white, opaque color, and as you spread it along your face, it does leave a slight white-ish sheen, which is nice for me because it evens out my skin tone for a clean, clear palette to set my foundation on. It doesn't feel greasy at all, to me. My foundation glided right over my face after application of this primer, and after I wore it a few hours, then I ended up falling asleep, and not washing my face for the whole next day :/ That's definitely not typical of me, but it was nice to not see my bare skin showing through even after sleeping and having my face buried in a pillow for hours. I'm happy with this primer and won't be looking for anything else (unless of course something new comes out that I absolutely HAVE to try)!! Haha :)
I got this 2 weeks ago & absolutely love it! I have tried SO many other primers & they all broke me out. This has an amazing feel to it & sinks right in. I have no issues with my skin & this primer. My skin looks better after I apply. I mix it with my foundation & put on w/ my beauty blender. I got the bigger bottle but they also have a smaller one for half the cost. This will last me a LONG time. I will definately repurchase this forever!

More reviews by edgexofxdesire
I'm completely disappointed with this. I thought it was very unique when I first picked it up to try out. Its a relatively thick, opaque white that almost looks like it glows. But I guess that glow-y effect was just the fact that it's greasy. I have relatively oily skin, but I know people with similar skin types who genuinely love this primer. I don't understand how. This felt so heavy and slick on my face, almost like my oil cleanser. Even under a mattifying foundation I could feel the oiliness that this had to it. That kind of slip might work well for drier skintypes, but it is definitely not for my skin at all. I couldn't even leave this on my face for more than a few hours before feeling dirty and having to remove my makeup :( But on the plus side, the price is absolutely insane, so I'm kind of glad I don't like it.
This is worth it for me. I work from home, and I don't always wear makeup, unless I go out, or have a job outside the home. This one is amazing. It hides little imperfections, and causes foundation,and blush to wear all day long. I think it brings out the color of the make up, which is a good thing,and my concealer doesn't' wear off, as it often does. Though it's expensive, I will buy it again, and use it. It makes my skin feel like velvet and waterproofs my make up.

I have tried a couple of primers including Napoleon and i.d. bareMinerals Primer. I must say I have now found the one! My makeup now lasts so long thanks to this wonderful product. The application is simple and flawless, the only problem is the price but it is really worth it as you can expect great results

I received a sample from Sephora and I absolutely loved it. I have sensitive, combination skin and this was perfect. It didnt dry my skin or cause me to break out. It felt wonderful and really worked to keep my makeup in place. The only con? The price! When I went to the Sephora website, its listed as $52. Thats way more than Im willing to pay for a primer. But if you are in the market for a high-end primer, this one is really amazing.

I FINALLY stopped using this- and started applying my MUFE HD foundation directly on top of my moisturizer- and guess what happened?!!!? My acne has cleared about 75% (which is HUGE for a moderately plagued gal). But what's even better is that I'm no longer a dry flakey mess! I always suspected that this was making my skin worse (dull, dry and acne-prone) but couldn't wrap my head around how such a well-loved, expensive product could do such a thing. I saw an improvement in two freakin days. And now that my skin is not dry or oily my makeup actually sits better on my skin than it did with primer and it lasts longer! If you are having skin issues and using this product, why not take a week-long break and see what happens. I will never go back to this again. In fact, I took the reminder of the bottle back to sephora yesterday. Bye bye. Maybe I'm sensitive to silicones or sunscreen . whatever it was i'm glad its gone! And, I probably won't touch primers for a looooong time.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Freezing roast beef
Whoa! Gonna have waaaaaaaay more roast beef than I need for Christmas dinner. What is the best way to freeze it? Should I pour the gravy on it and freeze it or.....
Are you can't use it up in sandwiches over the next few days? Cooked beef just doesn't take well to freezing, imo.
Cut off part of the meat before cooking and freeze it raw. CI coked a tenderloin 2 weeks ago, but first cut off a 2-person-sized hunk. Thawed it yesterday and it was perfect for Christmas Eve dinner.
Re Sandwiches....we are leaving on the 27th so I know we can't eat it all up before then.
And I *wish* I had frozen some before but in a Christmas Eve daze I covered the whole thing in a herb paste so I don't think it will freeze well raw now.
I freeze cooked roast beef after shrink-wrapping a la FoodSaver. Keeps for up to a year...no "leftover" taste. Will keep 3-4 weeks in fridge. Vacuum sealed is just like canning.
Best choice is cut off a big raw hunk of beef of correct size and go ahead and freeze; if there is marinade or other things, just scrape it off best you can before freezing. You can also just cook the whole thing and freeze uneaten parts, but then you end up with 'freezer' meat: dry, tough, and kind of tasteless; at that point, it useful only in things like soup condiments or roast beef salad with a strong dressing.

"Very dry for those with mere casual interest"
For linguists, I am sure this is well worth the five hours - for me, it was tough to get through. McWhorter digs deep into a large variety of old European languages and nuances of vocabulary and grammar that go well beyond what I was looking for.
The narration by the author is a huge bonus though because pronunciation of so many very foreign or old words is crucial, I doubt another narrator could have performed this nearly as well. His occasional laughs at his own jokes are unnecessary, but forgivable.
"vaguely interesting...but not for me"
I found this book boring. It just never gave me any points to keep me interested. He discusses in great detail about how grammar is different in English than other languages. That in and of itself would be interesting, but the underlying points of the book (which seemed to be addressing what to me seemed to be "in the weeds" disputes in the field of linguistics) really left me saying "so what?" Maybe I'm being to critical, but I have a rule that I listen to every book I purchase through to the end, and this one was hard to make it through. Maybe someone versed in linguistics would find it interesting, but I would think few lay readers would.
""Meaningless Do""
I loved this book! Honestly. It was marvelously entertaining, believe it or not, and had me laughing even when I didn't totally understand all the language nuances. By that I mean, I'm certainly not an English Major by any stretch. What captured my fancy was how McWhorter harkened to the word "do" in our language has having absolutely no genuine meaning whatsoever and thereby calling it "meaningless do." We all use "do" every day. But it has no value. It now haunts me when I use the word!
I'm stumped on this question. I love books and words so anything well written, well narrated qualifies.
Not that I am aware of, narrator wise. He had good presence.
How did we end up like this in speech?
Don't be wary of this book just because of the title. It's a real gem.
Increasing my ops tempo by allowing storytellers to whisper in my ear(buds).
".....Liking This Book I Am Presently Doing....."
This is a delightful foray into linguistics that made the subject interesting even for a non-linguist like me. This made me consider things I was completely aware of. Knowing that languages construct sentences differently is not news; but knowing precisely what those difference are is revelatory. McWhorter attempts to trace many of the linguistic discrepancies between languages by examining the clues left behind. These clues are found in several places. Predictably, one source of evidence for tracing language usage is the written word, or as it is called in the field, "scripture." Another is the spoken languages of various people groups whose word usage and grammatical sentence structure can be contrasted and compared to the record of historical migrations and conquests. Any military conquest in the ancient world apparently left behind not only a a trail of blood but also a trail of linguistic mingling that can be traced.. One unexpected source of information is that linguists try to reconstruct various "proto" languages from circumstantial evidence alone. Many dead languages have no written record, no scripture, but can be reconstructed, partially at least, by examining the cultures they were able to influence. I learned a lot from this book. It is an enjoyable introduction to the history of the English language.
His relaxed understanding of the manner in which grammar morphs over time gives me license to write in a style that seems right to me. Rules are made to be broken.
John McWhorter reads his own book. Surprisingly, he is able add inflection to his voice that makes the text seem to be coming out of his memory rather than from the page. His delivery is very enjoyable and often graduates from the merely precise and understandable to the engaging and even entertaining.
"A look at language"
This book is written by a English professor teaching us the origins of the English language and the common misconceptions of fellow scholars in his field. John reads the book passionately and doesn't drone on and on about the subject. It just wasn't as interesting as I had hoped but it wasn't a waste of my time either since I did learn a few things.
"Much ado about "do""
I've listened to 1 hour 15 minutes of this audiobook. So far it's entirely about the useless "do" construction that English inherited from Celtic. This would be a interesting 5-minute topic but 75 minutes is too much.
"Very entertaining"
A subject that could be very dry and uninteresting but presented in such an entertaining manner that I enjoyed learning.
Yes if they were interested in language and its origins.
Okay, I get it. English is a complicated language. This was a listen which seemed like a graduate level linguistics text book. Dry, dry, dry.
"His hypothesis is interesting for the first 10 min"
Probably not unless they are inveterate anglophiles who care about such arcane matters as why English has an unnecessary "do" or why we use the "-ing" to indicate present action. This is NOT a book for the fainthearted who want to hear all sorts of interesting facts about English words. The author has a thesis that he is trying to prove about the origin of those two peculiarities and he presents cogent arguments in support of his position, but it seems inconsequential.
The author's kaleidoscopic knowledge of many languages was interesting. The least interesting was how he kept piling on argument after argument to support his thesis.
He seems to be able to pronounce a wide variety of words in many languages.
Unfortunately no. I was hoping that it would.
"Enjoyable, But Not an Easy Listen"
This is an extremely well researched study of the origins of modern day English, with a lot of scholarly thought put into the conclusions drawn by the author. I think that McWhorter did an excellent job of narrating as well. His voice is very pleasant to listen to, very conversational, and he uses humor well.
Unfortunately, the subject matter got quite technical and confusing throughout the last third of the book, and I found my mind wandering a lot. I had to keep replaying sections, as I had a hard time focusing on the complexities of the linguistic theory. Listening to the book was like attending a college lecture. McWhorter went deep down into the rabbit hole to trace the origins of modern day language, and did a good job of presenting and proving his theories. It was interesting for the most part. but honestly, if I had been reading this instead of listening, I probably would have just skimmed some of the less interesting chunks of the book. Overall, I am glad I listened to it and feel that I learned a lot. I plan to start his The Great Courses course next (also on Audible), called "Language A to Z."

My feminisms
are circling your navel
with my tongue.
My feminisms
are circling your navel
with my tongue.
"What does your ring symbolize?"
But I don't think you'll get
that Kerouac quote
or the weight of harassment
I feel in public spaces,
or understand the marriage
of my selves to our selves
and our body,
so I shrug, "Nothing,"
and the conversation turns
again to your most recent
doctor's visit.
These words,
lace our lives
bind our shores
Two more brown bodies enter here
and our eyes kiss,
sing to each other
the old, whispered refrain:
"We will all of us burn
together here
ifwhen the shit hits the fan."
But I think
you seem very certain
that yours is the Universal Truth
for so finite
a being;
I will always lack
that sweeping confidence.
I do not trust you
or your flirting eyes
or this unwelcome moment
to which you've brought me,
accosted gently by the wrist
and so alone
together with you
I am haunted by the glimpses
I sometimes catch of you
in the twilit consciousness
just before sleep:
your hair long and free
or your beard neatly trimmed,
smiling at me
from the next pillow over
or bent double,
while waves crash around you,
soaking your loose flannel.
And I want you to know
I could make all the worlds spin forever
just lying here
imagining your hands
and your knees
and the warmth of your thigh,
so close to mine …
is it mine?
