Sioux City, IA (ABC9 News) - AT&T is helping Sioux City's East High School students to reinforce safe driving habits.
Students had the opportunity to participate in a texting and driving simulator today. The simulator is similar to a video game - drivers need to maintain a certain speed and are notified on-screen of when they need to check their phone or send text messages.
Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota all have laws against texting and driving.

Distracted driving in Rhode Island is considered any activity where the motorist's attention is diverted away from the roadway. Every distraction of the driver can endanger the motorist, passengers and others on the Providence, Pawtucket or North providence roadway including bicyclists and pedestrians. Common distractions when driving include:• Sending or reading text messages (texting and driving)• Using a smart phone, cell phone or other mobile technology• Drinking and eating• Reading• Grooming including applying makeup• Reaching for objects• Watching videos• Gathering information from a navigation system• Using electronic features in the car including the radio, MP3 player and CD player• Dealing with children• Conversing with passengersimportant keywords: Distracted Driving,Drink and Driving Accidents,Texting Driving

Prohibited use of cell phones while driving is the law in many communities hoping to eliminate car accidents caused by distracted driving. This is because speaking or texting on a cell phone while driving is a contributing factor in more than 25 percent of all vehicle accidents nationwide.
Not a New Phenomenon in RI or across Nation
Distracted driving is not a new phenomenon. It is a problem that has been around as long as transportation. Any activity that diverts the motorist's attention away from operating a motor vehicle creates a serious issue for everyone sharing the road with a distracted driver. While texting and using a smart phone or cell phone has become a recent problem, other driver distractions have been around for decades, including:
• Grooming or applying makeup
Drivers become easily distracted when they divert their eyes from the roadway to dial a number, read a message on their smart phone, or type out a text reply. However, not all driver distractions caused by electronic equipment involves diverting eyes from the roadway or manipulating the device.

Driving is complicated. Many things can go wrong if the driver is not fully focused on the task at hand. It only takes a second for an unexpected event to occur causing a catastrophe. As new drivers, teens are already at higher risk for accidents. A combination of inexperience and overconfidence make car accidents the leading cause of death and injury for teens. Distracted driving,frequently caused by texting, is the leading cause of those accidents.
The statistics are staggering. In 2011, at least 23 percent of all car accidents involved cell phones. That works out to be 1.3 million accidents. More than 35,000 people lost their lives and at least 21,000 were injured. Despite laws that make testing and driving illegal in 43 states, the number of texting and driving accidents is not declining. In fact, distracted driving has now surpassed drinking and driving as the leading cause of death among teens.
Awareness is not the issue. A recent survey revealed that 95 percent of teens recognized that texting while driving is dangerous. However, nearly a third of those surveyed admitted they engage in the activity. Even more concerning, more than half thought it was not difficult to text and drive. These findings are consistent with other studies of multi-tasking. We typically overestimate our ability to multitask and our success rate while doing so. The truth is that our brains are not designed to engage in two complex activities at the same time. When we think we are multitasking, we are actually going back and forth between two activities, usually to the detriment of both. Multitasking is inefficient at best and reckless when combined with driving.
So why is it so difficult to stop teens from texting and driving? Cell phones have quickly become a part of the fabric of our lives. These devices have created new behaviors with unintended consequences. We joke about people being addicted to their cell phones while trying to resist the urge to check ours. Some psychologists have suggested that since cell phone usage has become so habitual, education and punishment are unlikely to yield the changes necessary. Instead, we need to help teens focus on changing their behavior. To that end, using deliberate strategies are the best way to prevent texting and driving.

The nation's auto regulatory authorities have also backed the technology. Last month, the US Department of Transportation said that it is considering making it mandatory for all automakers to adopt such V2V communication systems by 2016, as a part of its efforts to solidify industry-wide standards for customer safety.
Moreover, auto safety watchdog, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is also pushing for a regulation that will in six months require automakers to install automatic braking systems.A Busy Year For Auto Industry Regulators
Regulatory authorities around the country have been actively probing automakers and safety parts' suppliers to ascertain any potential negligence as to customer safety.
The world's second-largest provider of auto safety parts, Takata Corp UNSP (ADR) (TKTDY), is being probed by the NHTSA for manufacturing potentially damaged airbags, which are then installed in vehicles of various American and Japanese automakers. This led them to collectively recall over 6 million vehicles this year for the airbag defect, identified by faulty airbags rupturing upon deployment.
In March, Toyota Motor Corp (ADR) (TM) agreed to pay a penalty of $1.2 billion for settling a four-year criminal probe regarding delayed auto recalls in 2010, stemming from an unintended yet serious acceleration defect owing to sticky gas pedals.

Last weekend's winter storm posed a challenge to many Lincoln, Nebraska, drivers with at least a 151 crashes and one fatality as of February 2, 2015. The actual number of crashes is likely a lot more. More snow is predicted for Lincoln this evening and tomorrow with a lot of roadways still ice and snow covered.
Drivers are urged to stay home if possible. If you have to drive, do so very carefully and safely.

Since 2007, 44 states and the District of Columbia have enacted bans on texting while driving, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association; 14 states and Washington, D.C., prohibit the use of hand-held cell phones while driving. No state prohibits all cell phone use behind the wheel.
States might be able to do more to prevent distracted driving with more money, but most of them have not been able to qualify for federal funding meant specifically for that purpose, says Jonathan Adkins, executive director of the GHSA.
In fiscal years 2014 and 2015, Connecticut was the only state to qualify for distracted driving funding approved by Congress in the federal transportation bill. It was the only state to meet the strict requirements of the bill, such as progressive fines for repeat offenses and no exceptions for drivers who text while stopped at a traffic light.
"Most states have strong distracted driving laws and are effectively enforcing them," Adkins says. "However, the federal funding requirements are so restrictive that it effectively prohibits nearly every state from qualifying for this needed funding… When the carrot is so far out of reach, states are not going to be motivated to strive toward it."
The State Farm survey finds that many drivers now attempt to self-regulate when it comes to distracting behaviors. For example, 63% of motorists say they're more likely to use their cell phones while stopped at a traffic light.

While some occupations have a greater risk of work-related injuries than others do, anyone can be injured on their job. Nearly all employers in Rhode Island are required by RI law to provide workers' compensation insurance to every employee to ensure coverage in the case of a work-related illness or injury. Workers' compensation helps individuals injured on the job recover lost wages and pay for medical expenses.
Individuals can be injured in any line of work in Rhode island. However, the most common types of on-the-job injuries happen to a:

For fiscal year 2013, which runs from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, OSHA's top 10 violations were:
Both 2013 and 2014 have all of the same workplace safety violations. The top 4 remain the same while some of the other violation's rankings changed.
Hopefully, employers will examine these rankings and increase worker safety especially in these top 10 areas. Worker safety should be the paramount concern for employers.WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND OTHER CLAIMS
In Nebraska, workers injured on the job are entitled to workers' compensation benefits except in a couple of circumstances. The benefits injured workers can receive, depending on the injury, include:
In addition, there are certain types of work injuries in which an injured worker may have a claim against a person or entity other than their employer. These are often called "third-party claims." For these types of claims, an injured worker is entitled to more than just those benefits offered under workers' compensation, including money for pain and suffering.
If you have been injured on the job in Nebraska, contact Lapin Law Offices to learn about your rights and what we might be able to do for you. We offer a free consultation and do not collect a fee unless we get money for you.

Fire companies rushed to a western Lehigh County junkyard Monday night when a tire fire broke out, sending up flames and thick clouds of smoke, according to police radio reports. The fire at the Walbert Contracting junkyard on Schoolhouse Road, west of Route 863 in Weisenberg Township, started about 9:40 p.m.
Callers told county dispatchers they weren't sure whether a building also was on fire. When firefighters arrived, they reported the blaze was confined to a large bin and did not threaten buildings.
The junkyard is south of Interstate 78, about 5 miles west of Fogelsville. Firefighters remained at the scene at 10:30 p.m.

Al Gore Inspires Me To Write Poetry
Apparently, Al Gore has branched out from inventing the internet and making millions selling carbon credits to morons, to writing poetry. Former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, poet, and human tree. Is there anything Al Gore can't do? Via Weasel Zippers, here's Al Gore's precious little poem:
One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun
Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Neptune's bones dissolve
Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly
Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning's celebration
Unknown creatures
Take their leave, unmourned
Horsemen ready their stirrups
Passion seeks heroes and friends
The bell of the city
On the hill is rung
The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools
Look out, Robert Frost! Eat it, Sylvia Plath! You've now met your match! But of course, it's not just the words written by great poets that make them titans, it's their ability to inspire the rest of us mere mortals. That's why Al Gore is such a hero — because he has spurred even a right wing troglodyte like me to try my hand at poetry:
It came to me in a hideous dream
an ugly, scarred, screaming thing
they called it Manbearpig, Manbearpig!
It would swallow the snow and pee out acid rain
defecate fire, and belch out greenhouse gasses of pain
Oh Manbearpig, Manbearpig!
It was invisible to some, tricked by its lies
but other liberals saw it and they gave me a Nobel Prize
for fighting Manbearpig, Manbearpig!
It's how I got my big mansion and my private plane
my bank account of millions and the UN praising my name
Thank you Manbearpig, my imaginary friend, Manbearpig!
Now those Climategate emails are stealing my thunder
How can I make money if people think Cap and Trade is a blunder
Where are you Manbearpig, throw me a winter heatwave, Manbearpig!

Ordering a Cosmo and a Pineapple Upside-Down Cake can make an otherwise-awesome girl seem like a prissy bitch. So for those who want to get tipsy without actually tasting the booze, the Moscow Mule from McCoy's is a happy middle ground between the Buttery Nipple and its machete-wielding Mexican cousin, Jose Cuervo. The 60-year-old Moscow Mule features vodka, ginger beer and lime juice on the rocks and tastes subtly sweet, fizzy and refreshing, like the Shark Week of ginger ale. It's also served in a shiny copper mug, so it feels fancy without saying you like both Sex and the City films and without implying that you'll cry to a Lifetime movie while nursing your hangover the next morning.

With the debate around environmental concerns surging more than ever, you may want to consider the adoption of eco-vacation. But you do not need to take a trip to Africa, Essouira or some other completely dark location to decrease their ecological effect. Right here are a few of the mainstream vacation locations that you may not have thought about for eco holidays
UK -. The Uk? Environmentally friendly? Really? Of course! From the Eco-friendly Tourism Business Plan certified over 1,000 destinations and experiences in England and Scotland, the UK is ending up being a popular destination for eco travelers, with an increasing variety of green activities and accommodation alternatives. 'Bwlch Nant Year Arian' in West Wales is an old lead and silver mine that has actually been transformed into a nature reserve, the friendly wildlife and visitor center.

Campus: Regent
Faculty: Social Sciences and Humanities

You should have a first degree in modern languages or another subject. Mature linguists without a degree, but with sufficient experience in translation, are invited to apply. We will interview you in person or on the telephone and set you two translation tests to check your language competence. The course is only suitable for those whose first language is English.
The Specialised Translation MA is open to native and non-native speakers of English, who combine English with any of the following languages: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Polish or Spanish. If you are a native speaker of English, you can elect to study translation with one or two of the above source languages. If you are a non-native speaker of English, you will study translation both from English into your first language and from your first language into English.
The Specialised Translation MA will prepare you for a career in the translation market. Building on your existing language skills, you will learn how to research specialised subjects to produce commercially usable translations of specialised technical and institutional texts, applying insights drawn from the study of linguistics and translation theory as well as from professional practice. You will complete a Translation Project or a Research Thesis. You will also be able to choose from a range of option modules that will, for example, give you an introduction to editing and revision, audiovisual translation, or computer-assisted translation, or enable you to acquire a working knowledge of another language for translation purposes.
You will be able to benefit from our wide range of resources, including an extensive collection of volumes and electronic materials in our library, specialised software applications, and additional resources made available through the University's Virtual Learning Environment. Our teaching staff include full and part-time lecturers, all with professional expertise in translation and other specialist fields. You will be allocated a personal tutor and be given academic guidance by the course team.
The University of Westminster is a member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting and Elia Exchange.
The course emphasis is on practical training in translation, developing your skills to a high level and learning about the professional environment. If you are a native speaker of English, your core modules will involve translation from either one or two main source languages, chosen from Arabic, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. If you are a native speaker of Arabic, French, German, Italian, Polish or Spanish, your core modules will cover translation from and into your native language (commonly referred to as your 'first' or 'main' language). All students will translate institutional texts (such as economic, political, legal and EU texts) and technical material, and learn new relevant skills through the option modules. You will also complete a research-based MA Thesis or an MA Translation Project (an extended translation with a preface and annotations).Your studies are further supported by blended learning provision on developing your professionalism, weekly lectures on the theoretical concepts and principles of translation, introductory workshops to a range of translation memory tools, and guest lectures and workshops delivered by external speakers from industry and international institutions.
You will be introduced to specialist texts of the kind you will be expected to handle in a professional context. These will cover international and government institutions, as well as the fields of economics, finance, business, politics and law.
You will be introduced to a wide range of specialist texts relating to technology and science of the kind you will be expected to handle in a professional context.
*Native speakers of English studying the course with two foreign languages will take the core Main Language Translation modules in both languages of study. Native speakers of English studying the course with one foreign language will take Editing: Principles and Practices and Computer-assisted Translation (see option modules below) as additional core modules and choose their option modules from the remaining range of options.
These modules differ from the Main Language modules only in that you will be translating into English as a second language for information purposes.
The MA Translation Project is a 6,000-8,000-word extended translation into your native language on a subject of your choice, accompanied by a preface and a set of annotations on the translation challenges involved. Preparation for writing the preface and annotations will be provided by a series of lectures throughout the course. The MA Thesis is a piece of scholarly research, 12,000-15,000 words long, into a translation-related topic. You will attend regular research methodology and work-in-progress sessions. You will also receive individual supervision for the Translation Project or Thesis.
The CAT module will introduce you to the basic features of computer-assisted translation (translation memory and machine translation), and provide practical experience of some common tools currently available. N.B. For native speakers of English studying translation with one source language only, this module is core. You will choose your option modules from the range of non-core options for your pathway.
This module will introduce you to the skills of translation criticism and quality reporting, translation editing and revision, post-editing and proof reading. N.B. For native speakers of English studying translation with one source language only, this module is core. You will choose your option modules from the range of non-core options for your pathway.
You will be introduced to the different theories of the nature of cross-cultural interaction and of intercultural competence. The module also looks closely at the application of these theories to specific issues in professional contexts, such as translation, cross-cultural skills and knowledge transfer, and the cross-cultural implications of globalisation.
The module will introduce you to the subject of audiovisual translation and includes hands-on translation experience and training in how to use subtitling software.
This module will cover concepts and issues in sociolinguistics, such as class, gender, ethnicity, multilingual communities, language variation, choice, planning, change, decline and death, and language in face-to-face interaction.
Over the year, you will be introduced gradually to a language that is cognate with your main language. You will gain an overview of the language based on grammar and syntax, and source language texts. As the year progresses, you will learn to translate graded technical and non-technical texts.
This module opens up the understanding of 'translation' to include the transmission and interpretation of values, beliefs, histories and narratives not only across linguistic, cultural or geographical boundaries, but also, for example, from one medium or time period to another. By reading the works of key theorists from around the world in the intersecting fields of translation and cultural studies, the module aims to enhance students' understanding of how historical and contemporary cultural interactions can be examined through a translational paradigm.
This module will equip you with a detailed knowledge and understanding of the structures and functioning of the UN and EU. In particular, it aims to explain the role of the main institutions of the UN and EU and their interaction with national governments, and the role of professional linguists in these processes.
This module will introduce you to the theories of genre and discourse analysis; audience design, purpose and style; rhetoric and persuasion; text-types, text structures, and grammatical and lexical features. Texts are selected from a wide range of sources, typifying different styles, levels of formality, registers, audiences, purposes and specialisations.
Graduates of the Specialised Translation MA have gone on to work as in-house translators within industry, commerce, international organisations and translation companies, as freelance translators, as translation project managers, or as editors, revisers, proofreaders, terminologists, or specialists in translation tools.

After finishing her undergraduate degree in French and Spanish at Oxford, Julia felt she needed a Master's degree to be successful as a professional translator. The course at Westminster was recommended to her as one of the best in the country focusing on practical aspects and developing a variety of links with the industry.
Shortly after completing her MA in Technical and Specialised Translation at the University of Westminster, Julia was selected for a one-month internship with the UN in Vienna and has now been offered a full-time job at APT Transtelex in Putney – one of the leading translation companies in Europe. Languages have been taught at Westminster's Regent Street Campus since 1861, when the site was used by the City of London College to run classes in French, German, Latin, Italian and Spanish. The Royal Polytechnic Institution located at 309 Regent Street, started offering language evening classes in 1872 and, by 1888, the French course in particular had expanded to include a debating society, study holidays in France and a lecture series.
Today, the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures provides students with a flexible and exciting range of opportunities to study European and non-European languages, cultures and societies. In addition, the Westminster Professional Language Centre (WPLC) offers professional language training, including examinations of the Ministry of Defence Language Board, a range of teacher development courses and bespoke language units to external clients.

The Aggie Stadium is a 21,500-seat multi-purpose stadium in Greensboro, North Carolina.[5] W. Edward Jenkins, a North Carolina A&T State University alumnus and architect, designed the stadium. Opened in 1981, the stadium is also the home of the new Irwin Belk Olympic class track. In addition Aggie Stadium features the state-of-the-art Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Fitness and Wellness Center. This 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) fitness facility sits behind the scoreboard in the Northeastern Corner of Aggie Stadium.
Within the past decade, Aggie stadium has undergone renovations including the installation of lights, new sprinkler and drainage systems, and the reconditioning of the playing surface. In the Fall of 2005, Aggie Stadium unveiled Aggievision, a video scoreboard, commonly referred to as a jumbotron. Currently, the old pressbox is being demolished and replaced with a 10,000sqft pressbox complete with luxury suites. Aggie Stadium is home to the North Carolina A&T State University Aggies football team.
Before the construction of Aggie Stadium, North Carolina A&T Aggies played their home football games at Greensboro's War Memorial Stadium, which was home to the nearby minor league baseball franchise. The university saw a great need to have an on campus stadium that could hold the growing number of fans attending home football games.
Aggie Stadium was designed by architect W. Edward Jenkins, a North Carolina A&T alumnus, and was constructed at a cost of more than $2.5 million. The stadium opened in 1981 and the first game played there was on September 12, 1981 against rival Winston Salem State University to an overflow crowd of more than 23,000 fans.[6]
To date, the largest single game attendance at Aggie Stadium was set in 2001 when 34,769 people were in attendance for a football game against the rattlers of Florida A&M University
Expansion & Improvements[edit]
The original plans for the stadium called for a seating capacity of 20,000 people, but due to the increased cost of materials, the plan was scaled back to 17,500.[3] For the first 14 years of operation, Aggie stadium's permanent seating capacity stood at 17,500. However, in 1995 the stadium underwent a major expansion in which 5,000 additional seats were added in the south end zone area to complete the current horseshoe shape and raise the seating capacity to over 21,000. In 1999 a donation by the Ford Motor Company allowed for the construction of stadium lights for night games and an electronic marquee outside the stadium grounds.
In 2001, the university opened the Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Fitness and Wellness Center behind the stadium's northeast end zone. Three years later, the Irwin Belk Track was finally completed. The facility is named after the former president of Belk Department Stores and a major financial contributor to the project. the Mondo Super X Performance track features eight 48-inch lanes and wide turns.[7]
In 2005, a digital scoreboard in the north endzone was added to Aggie Stadium. The scoreboard measures at approximately 66 feet high and 48 feet wide. the scoreboard also is equipped with a 23-foot video screen and sound system.
The most recent addition to Aggie Stadium is a 10,000 sq ft Sky Box complete with a Chancellor's Suite, facilities for press and coaches, as well as leasable luxury suites. The project was designed by Jason H. Jones, AIA, with Clark Nexsen's Charlotte Office, and was completed in April in time for the 2012 Football season.

I think one of the more intriguing things about the HTS trade is when the run will take place. It has been noted before it is a hockey stick. I think you have to take into account that market seems to reward HTS for its core earnings but toward the of ex-div, and I am also picking up on Rim Boomers earlier work which shows that HTS has good spreads. The dividend is covered by EPS, which constitute core earnings. That is what is appealing about HTS and why the market is willing to pay up for a lower yield. I just did some more work on HTS EPS versus to divdiend to figure out the risk of my calls. I now have 141, Aug. and November 27's. I think the risk of a low dividend is minimal, but..... Quarter/Earnings/Dividend3/10 1.21/1.206/10 1.01/1.10 (dividend higher)9/10 1.11/1.1012/10 .99/1.0003/11 .96/1.00Now, on to June. The market consensus about 90 days ago was for a consensus earnings of $1.09, now it is $1.03. So, at $1.03, we see a dividend of $1.00 or $1.10. It seems that we are destined to see $30.50 on a dividend of $1.00; $31+ on $1.10. If I am wrong, the worse it a breakeven trade, but I just have a feeling that you have to just trust that the hockey stick will be there.
"The dividend is covered by EPS, which constitute core earnings. That is what is appealing about HTS and why the market is willing to pay up for a lower yield."I agree. I believe AGNC relies more heavily on non-core earnings to cover the dividend, which is at least part of the reason it has a higher yield. Whether or not the perception of a riskier dividend is justified is a question best left to each individual investor, obviously. But I like AGNC's management team.As for HTS, I did a bit of similar analysis and drew similar conclusions this past April. My only reservation is that I am not as familiar with the HTS portfolio. I have a fair idea how the macro environment could impact AGNC, but HTS involves a little more guesswork for me. It will be interesting to see what happens in the 2nd & 3rd quarters this year. Lots of factors coming into play.
I don't hold these shares; I trade calls in them. Okay, I buy some shares in my IRA's. I appreciate the fundamental views on EPS, spreads, etc., but actually, I just don't care in as far as others might. I just want someone to buy this dividend, and AGNC is not going to get me where I want to be at this point. So who might be the best pair trade; I just think HTS, but am ready to be wrong. I am up already. If it gets me a $1.00 to $1.50 run from $29.00 and holds true to form, then I will be seeing $30.50, and I will sell all then. If I get to $30.25, I might do the same. I just want to make some profits.I would never suggest to substitute HTS for AGNC as a core holding, but if i were inclined to hold some shares long them three months, I might consider HTs with further analysis.
and so begins the hts moveshort just 1500 so ill just take it easyman if i can start winning in hts like ive started to in agnc overall could be a strong year.hts and ivr i just get spinned around.hts one whiff of good number above 1.00 and 5 to 15% extra pop like cmo is my guess.
hts seems like a cmo a few quarters ago.damange was done and upside is more likely then not.i do think there is offering risk because their leverage certainly didnt shoot up after their last offering.i will admit.im always long big and i get nothing out of it - too early.im always short big and get run over - short earlythen i get paid on the offering or stutter down.if i waited 1 month more perhaps ill make a good push on the up move and not be too early on the short omve.ride it up but there is some offering risk here and if they are solid then bump the leverage to get back to 1.10 and 1.20
Reik, trying to figure the timing out on this is difficult to be sure. Hope I got my timing right this time. It seems flat in the second month. When it crossed 29, I decided to go for it. I don't see an offering, but I have been wrong many times, so I have august and November calls. Don't like the puts on the merits, and I don't like using my capital on the short side. I just hope we see upside.

Based upon the other tripadvisor reviews, we booked the Residence Inn Old Town for a weekend getaway from August 21-24. As always, the other reviews were helpful.
First, a warning, the mapquest and yahoo travel directions are a bit misleading if you are coming from south of DC. The directions tell you to get on I-495 but, instead, you should just remain on I-95. Not a big deal, though, as we easily found the hotel anyway.
The hotel is almost finished with an interior renovation so the lobby, breakfast area, etc. had a few issues (paint/wallpaper off the walls, construction noise, etc.). According to information located within the elevators, they still need to finish the lobby and floors 2 and 3 including the exercise room. But, this was just a minor inconvenience.
The check-in process was a breeze and the desk staff was always helpful with directions and suggestions. Our first night, there were power outages on the block (unrelated to the hotel renovation) and the staff did a good job of notifying the guests. On-site parking was in a garage behind the hotel that seemed to have a limited number of spaces (partly due to spaces being taken by construction materials) and many of the spaces were quite tight. The garage was gated with access by key card only so you felt secure in leaving some items in your car. I question the need for the $15 per night fee but it was much more reasonable than the $40 per night parking fee (with valet, though) I paid at a Marriott property in Philadelphia.
Our room was on the 8th floor (top floor) and was beautifully decorated with a modern feel. There were granite (likely faux but still nice) countertops in the kitchen, a leather chaise which pulled out to an extra bed, a sitting chair, small coffee table, small leather ottoman, breakfast table for 2 (where we ate our snacks and lunches), and a queen bed. Given all of the renovations, I was a bit surprised that a console TV had not been replaced with either a plasma or LCD. The bedding was comfortable and we slept well each night. Our room faced a parking lot and a few shops though we also had a view of the Masonic Temple. I'm a neat freak and thought the room and entire hotel were clean.
Included in the cost of the hotel is a breakfast buffet. The buffet included cereals, bagels, toast, make-you-own waffles, eggs, potatoes, sausage (one day only), yogurt, and fruit. It was not great but it was better than just an ordinary continental breakfast. More breakfast meats would be appreciated.
As others noted, the hotel was only a 2 block walk to the Metro station for easy travel into downtown DC without having to worry about parking or traffic. Further, Old Town was only 4 blocks away with loads of restaurants, historic sites, bars, and nightlife. Mt. Vernon was also an easy 15 minute drive from the hotel.
We will be staying at this hotel on future jaunts to the DC area.

GREENFIELD — Hancock County's veterans service officer told county commissioners Tuesday new state-imposed accreditation rules will require more work hours and more money.
Bob Workman, who took over from John Carroll last January as the point man to assist county veterans with questions and benefits claims, said he will be required to log 1,000 hours annually to comply with Indiana House Bill 1387, which requires the state's veterans service officers to be accredited through coursework and testing approved by the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs.
The county's veterans service office, located at the Memorial Building at 98 E. North St. in Greenfield, is only open eight hours each week, Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
However, Workman said he probably is already meeting the approximately 20-hour-per-week federally mandated threshold to meet the accreditation requirements with out-of-office visits and calls.

Location is awesome
Price for short stay.
Location in Brian Head, UT
Completely USELESS Wi Fi.
No air conditioning in rooms.
Helpful staff allowed me to fill up our 6 gallon water canister for camping and allowed us to keep our bicycles in our room for the night. The rooms were very clean and the pool was nice.
The complimentary hot breakfast was lacking. The breakfast burritos were not very good and the waffle mix didn't taste very good either. I ended up having cereal.
The saft was very good to work with was willing to help me when I ask.
The roon was very clean and was well kep, but the bed was shot. I believe it is time to change. I would stay there again but would check the bed out first. We stayed in room 123.
The staff is very friendly, hotel is spotlessly clean, front desk have us complimentry toothpaste when we forgot ours, and the hot breakfast was pretty good too. Pretty much all you can ask for if you need a fairly priced room for a few nights.
The front desk person was very nice and remembered my name.
The first room was dirty, so I was given a different one. I was right next to the street--very noisy with very little privacy. The bed was the smallest 'queen' sized bed I've ever seen. In most places it's called a double. Schmaltzy.
The room was spacious and clean.
The heater was not working. Would have been nice to have had extra blanket in room. Brought it to attention, they apolligized saying the breaker had tripped and it would be working again in about an hour, as we were checking out in the morning.
The staff was very nice.
The hotel overall wasn't very clean. My room door was very beat up. Paint on the bathroom door and hair was in the bath tub. The floors seem stained All over.
Check in was at the hotel next door. Front desk did not have our on line booking. Very slow to check people in. Staff gave us key to wrong hotel. Staff was overwhelmed. The only saving grace of this hotel is that it cheap and it has a waffle machine.
Didnt know that part of the hotel was under construction, inconvenient. They did comp a free room next stay but the time line is too short to be useful.
See above
All of it
Hot tub hours
Basic, low-cost hotel room.
The plumbing is noisy. When the other room uses the shower or toilet, you really hear it.
Price was decent, but there are other options for a similar price that better fit my current and future needs.
Very noisy, no grassy area to walk dogs, website does not give accurate information about the facilities.
It was quick and easy from the freeway. Close to shops/restaurants.
Kinda noisy. Could have been a little more updated. The "heated pool" to actually have been heated.
The room was comfortable enough, and the breakfast was pretty good.
The bedspread really needed to be washed.
Location, price
Unclean carpeting (made our feet black!)

When I first tried this, I thought it was clear, and I hated it, but I've changed my mind about it now. Its subtlety is really nice to me these days, and it's not as sheer as I first thought -- it's a nude look, but not the same as clear polish. This really is the consummate everyday shade if you like sheers, although oftentimes my nails are too yellowish at the tips for it to look good. Unless they're in really great shape, I prefer a more pigmented neutral like East Hampton Cottage.

I wrote a review of this quite a while ago, at that time, I LOVED Essie's colors. Now, because of the packaging, I will not buy Essie again, and I have about ten bottles now. The short white brush top cannot be gripped, the only way I can get the bottle open is to soak it in hot water, not something I feel like doing everytime I want to put a coat of polish on! I have Revlon and Estee Lauder polish, and I never have this problem with their longer brush tops. I HATE this sh*tty packaging. It's a shame, because otherwise, Essie a great nail polish. I just feel insulted by this horrible bottle design.
(Well, four years later, and I'm still using Essie. I still don't like the short brush, but hey, life's not perfect. I still love their pinks, they are my staple.)

my HG polish!! until i used this, i didn't think i could even be excited about polish, but oh i am now. i saw this color in instyle or allure last year and thought i'd give it a try, and i haven't changed colors since, except a french manicure or two. it's a nude/peachy sheer that makes it look as if you're not wearing polish at all, you just have amazingly healthy nails. i get comments on my nails weekly, and i do them myself. no one thinks that i'm wearing a colored polish, just clear. however, my yellowish nails just look more yellow with clear polish, and amazing with this. i highly recommend you try this color!!

The perfect sheer nude for a polished, natural look. Goes on smoothly (unlike Ballet Slippers, which made a streaky mess on my nails), and looks great paired with a white tip. Makes the longest-lasting french mani for me - lasts a week, and I work in an animal shelter, so that's really saying something!

After so many raves, I'm bewildered. Yes, it's nice that it doesn't streak or chip (hence the three stars), but the color...well, what color? This is totally clear on me, even with two coats. If I didn't already have a decent "your nails but better" polish (NARS Edelwiess), I could see liking this, but as it is, what's the point? Consider my lemming killed.
EDITED 10/6: Changed my mind, from 3 stars to 5 and yes to repurchase. It lasts and lasts, the color IS classic, and since it's only $4.50 at Bed, Bath & Beyond, I'm keeping it.

This is my go-to nail color when I just want a "natural, but a little bit prettier" nail look. Sheer w/ a little pink in it, not too girly or bubblegum, very classy.

I pair it with Essie 'picket fences' for a more natural looking french manicure. I get a lot of compliments when I have a french manicure with that combo. Essie is by far my favourite nail products brand.
