"Water, water everywhere, and nary a drop to drink." Old cargo ships from years back were required to carry large supplies of fresh water to sustain the crew on a long voyage. A ship that had run out of drinking water would be carrying a sad crew indeed. Today, most commercial ships are equipped with a freshwater generator, a type of evaporator that converts sea water into drinkable, fresh water.
The concept of a freshwater generator is simple; sea water is evaporated using a heat source, separating pure water from salt, sediment and other elements. Freshwater generators often use the diesel engine jacket as a heat source, although steam can also be used as a heat source. Because freshwater generators often use existing heat to run, the cost of operation is low.
There are two main elements in a freshwater generator, one heat exchanger evaporates the sea water, and another condenses the fresh water vapor into drinking water. In the condenser element, the vapor is condensed through cooling, often simply using cold seawater to cool the outside of the unit.
The freshwater generator should include a feature to monitor the salinity of the processed water. If the salinity exceeds a specified level, usually between one and ten parts per million (ppm), the freshwater generator will automatically return the water to the feed line and put it through the cycle again.
A freshwater generator is increasingly used in desalination plants, typically located in coastal areas, which provide fresh drinking water to the local community. These have become very common in the Middle East, and are also in use in some California communities. More desalination plants are likely to be built as a response to drought, and concern over availability of water in growing cities. However, the costs involved in desalination plants are high, and are considered by communities only when faced with water shortages from traditional sources.

#5 - The boiling point of water decreases as the pressure decreases. This is why you end up with a pretty tepid cup of coffee high up in the mountains. At a pressure of 4 or 5 psi (not hard to achieve) fresh water will boil at around 70°C. (Atmospheric pressure is 14 or 15 psi).

"Ghost Rain" acrylic print by RC DeWinter. Ships within 3 - 4 business days and arrives ready-to-hang with all mounting hardware included. Choose from multiple sizes and two different mounting options (metal posts / hanging wire).
Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

If you need music and phone capabilities when you ride, but you're not sure about all that magic wireless mumbo-jumbo, Smith and Skullcandy have you covered. The Skullcandy Twin-Tip Link Helmet Audio Kit hardwires your music and cellular straight to your brain. Well, straight to the included ear pads, anyway. An in-line microphone and adjustable volume control keep you from being the obnoxious guy yelling into his phone and complaining that he can't hear anything.
- Compatible with all Smith adult helmets
- 3.5mm audio jack for music and phone devices

Comes with a Phone Jack and a 3.5mm Jack
This is worthless if you want to hook it up to your iphone or Android phone. It has a Phone jack and a 3.5mm jack cord that are not removable and the 3.5mm jack doesn't work well with an iphone. I returned it the next day. I'll stick with my Icon 2 headphones.
typical chinese made garbage
Glad to have them in my earpads.
Rode them for about 12 outtings. Control has stopped and now there is crackling. I've only taken about 3 decent spills this year and have been careful not to yank these giving them plenty of slack. I know how to take care of cables and give them excessive length for excessive strain events such as that which occurs during a spill.
The whole idea is to be able to control music rather than pulling out the device and using it.
Might as well just throw a button based ipod like my old shuffle, which is lighter and produces actually better sound at least on these headphones.
I wish people buying products would stop and do some quality assurance on their products. Isn't anyone getting sick of buying stuff only to have it break within the warranty period? I guess companies figure out we arent goign to go through the effort and its much more profitable to create junk.
SOMEONE make a company that ONLY sells quality stuff, even if it is twice the price, once people learn that you sell quality, stand by it, and it will work right - is intuitive or at least common sense and will at least work until we get bored with the tech!
They work...
Not the best compatibility with iPhone and Spotify
These phones sound good and are much more comfortable inside a helmet all day than ear buds. The only problem is that the twin tip system is not 100% compatible with the iPhone and Spotify music app. I found myself constantly switching between the two tips, depending upon whether I wanted to make a phone call or listen to tunes. There is no doubt a certain degree of user error involved here but I'm of the generation that is spoiled by Apple's ability to make intuitive products that "just work" right out of the box. This product is not intuitive.
Affected by colder temperatures
I was pretty excited to try these out and picked up a pair last week. They worked well with my iPhone 4 in the shop using the little control on the cable (play/pause/FR/RW/VoiceControl) but once I got up on the slopes the control cease to operate. I had it clipped to my helmet where I could easily reach it with my gloved hand and think the cold (~0 deg at the top of the Snowbird Tram) must have affected it because it became finicky and then stopped working altogether once I reached the mid mountain lodge. Once I warmed up, the control began to function once again. Thinking it was a faulty item, I swapped it out for a new one but had the same problem. Kind of a bummer since I really liked the sound and was hoping they would work out. Oh well, I'll return 'em and keep looking.
how do you install them too your helmet

Useless cable
I think you don't get what you pay for here! The cable that comes with the headphones doesn't work at all. It's cheaply made. Button doesn't work with my HTC EVO. I got rid of the cable and rigged up a more streamline solution: LG Optimus 3.5mm Noise Cancelling In-Line Mic Headset (I just use the 3.5mm w/ mic adapter, $11) and another 3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male angled 1' cable ($2) from ebay. The LG module button works ...pause...play...skip...skip folder. This item should cost $10-$15 ... for its quality..not $49.95!
Good Stuff
These guys have been great! The sound quality is good and the volume control is big enough to use with gloves on but not so big that it's in the way. I have only used the headphones with my Ipod so I'm not sure how well they work with a phone yet. The only thing that I would want to change would to be able to control the pause and play with the remote.
Good for a lesser phone???
Sound nice with the iPod but the phone controls do not work with my Droid X. Can only control the volume of one of the units.
If I buy a barnd new I pod Nano will these...
If I buy a barnd new I pod Nano will these control the mute and skip functions?

Sweet Ski Music Action!
I got these about a week ago and have been able to ski with these a few times. These beat the hell out of wearing earbuds under your helmet. The fact that they insert right into the earpads of your helmet make them incredibly comfortable, way better than wedging an earbud into your ear under your ear pad. The sound quality is great but at the same time since there is a little space between the speaker itself and your ear you can still hear what is going on around you on the ski hill, which is helpful whilst navigating/avoiding the gapers around you. I usually dont crank the volume up all the way, I just like to have my current playlist playing in the background making me feel like i am in my own ski movie segment while i ski sweet delicious utah powder. These are sweet, if you have a Smith helmet and still want to listen to music while you ski this is the way to go. It also has the sweet phone attachment and built in microphone so that you can answer and talk on your phone while on the mountain if thats your kinda thing, i personally haven't utilized that function yet and im not sure if i will... These are the same price as the skullcandy helmet audio kit without the phone adapter cord, so why not just get this one and keep your options open.
If you are an iphone 4 user these headphones are an extreme pain in the butt. especially when your used to the controls that already come on your cheap white headphones. I have such a hard time saying this because i had such high hopes. heres the problem.....the double shot gives you two cords....unfortunately the controls on the wire dont account for this. If i use one cable, the volume control is amazing and super easy to use...but the pause/play/skip does not function. If the other cable is used, i can pause and play my music.....but i have no control of volume. The controls could be awesome but they simply dont work. All that said, the sound quality on the headphones is great and they zip in perfectly to my helmet. I just wish i could control my music
I just exchanged the twin-tip for the single shot audio from skullcandy....none of the previous problems. AMAZING. great sound and control and the handy inline remote has a pretty robust clip that stays put well
How did you get the exchange? Direct from Skullcandy?
Ditto. Twin tip controls work the same for me as for Stuart. that is, they don't. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Anybody try using a headphone splitter so you could plug both cords into the single input on the iPhone
I had the exact same problem as Stuart. With one of the cords plugged into my iPhone 3GS, I could control the iPod functions and answer incoming calls but had no volume control. With the other cord plugged in, I could control the volume but nothing else. I will try to exchange for the single shot.
I have the iPhone 4s and got the twin-tip as a gift. While yes, the single shot would be better, this works great for me with the phone side plugged into my phone and the mp3 side unplugged. I can't adjust the volume from the cable control, but I just set the volume on the phone first and have no problems. Giving up the volume control is just not a big deal to me. I love that pressing the button once pauses/resumes music playback, while pressing and holding the button accesses Siri. My only complaint about these headphones is that they're a little bulky; when I put them in my Smith Variant they make my ears physically sore after a couple of hours.
Has anyone tried using a double adapter (one male, two female) on an iPhone 4 to see if it will do both?
Sounds great to me
Great headphones. Sound is clear and the interface is easy to use. Would spring for the bluetooth if I had the extra cheddar. That said, the single-sided cord coming out of the helmet is not as cumbersome as I anticipated. This is so much better than wearing earbuds that fall out every time you turn to check out the girl next to you on the lift.

Former pirate Thomas Marlowe returns to his old trade in this third and final novel in Nelson's Brethren of the Coast series (The Guardship; The Blackbirder). It is the year 1706, and Marlowe has been a (fairly) respectable Virginia tobacco plantation owner since 1700. But now war in europe is choking the tobacco business, and Marlowe is nearly broke. It is his beautiful wife, elizabeth, who comes up with a solution: to save his land and dubious reputation, Marlowe will resort to his old profession. He recruits a motley crew, including his wife, sails to London to sell some tobacco, and then intends to proceed to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean to prey on the treasure ships of the Great Mogul, ruler of India. Marlowe is recognized in London, however, by a psychotic enemy who pursues him to the pirate stronghold of Madagascar. Marlowe finds no sanctuary there; instead, he encounters Lord elephiant Yancy, a treacherous pirate leader who fancies Marlowe's wife and has murderous plans for Marlowe and his pursuers alike. Marlowe, however, is a man of proven courage, loyalty, ruthlessness and trickery, so he has some bloody surprises for Yancy and the cutthroats who would threaten his wife and crew. This is a rousing swashbuckler filled with treasure, sea battles, feuds, revenge, romance and deadly conspiracies. Nelson's Marlowe is an antihero, a man of action and honor who is also larcenous and forever scheming - a good man, but not too good. Nelson's portrayal of the pirate menace and its unique seagoing society is thorough, accurate, colorful and utterly convincing, providing a full broadside of reading entertainment.

Pirate-turned-privateer Thomas Marlowe returns in the final installment of Nelson's riveting Brethren of the Coast trilogy. In 1706, Marlowe, chafing a bit under the yoke of respectability accorded him as one of the most prominent plantation owners in the colony of Virginia, longs to recapture the excitement of his days on the open sea. When the shipping rates increase exorbitantly due to the lingering war in Europe, Thomas seizes the opportunity to set sail in order to sell his own tobacco crop personally in London. Fate intervenes as Marlowe is confronted by Captain Roger Press, a bitter enemy from his checkered past. Chased by Press to the island of Madagascar, he engages his old nemesis in a treacherous game of cat-and-mouse as each vies for both revenge and the fabulous treasure carried by ships belonging to the mogul of India. Though Thomas prevails, his triumph is tempered by grief as he achieves his goal only at great personal cost. This suspenseful, action-packed adventure is a worthy conclusion to an authentically detailed maritime series. Margaret Flanagan

Local first-time filmmaker Rhiannon Bannenberg is elated that her feature film Ambrosia will premiere in her hometown of Wollongong before being released in cinemas nationally.
A reflection of Bannenberg's own personal struggles of growing up with chronic pain, Ambrosia is visually breathtaking having been filmed exclusively on our very own beaches with a cast and crew of Illawarra based rising talents.
Not only has 25 year-old Bannenberg achieved the amazing feat of writing, directing, scoring and filming Ambrosia but she also recently won the Special Jury Prize at the 2015 International Gulf of Naples Festival.
We had the pleasure of asking the filmmaker some revealing questions about the story behind Ambrosia and her inspiring journey so far.
How has growing up in the Illawarra shaped who you are today?
Growing up in the Illawarra has given me a wonderful array of experiences and perspectives on life. Being surrounded by the beautiful and diverse natural environments such as beaches, dairy farms and rainforests, to our built environment that depicts Illawarra's colonial and industrial history, growing up in the Illawarra has always given me a strong context to who I am and what is it means to have a 'home'. I also think the diversity of the Illawarra's landscape, community and history has shown me the value of a strong community and the importance of maintaining a sense of pride and connection to your local area.
Where did the idea for Ambrosia come from?
Whilst I was studying music at university, I began writing a character named India who is an outwardly healthy, energetic young woman, but suffers from chronic pain. I wanted her story to unravel as she was spending a beautiful, dreamy summer with her closet friends. It was from here that I began to develop the story and as it grew, I felt compelled to tell India's story and film seemed the perfect medium to express these ideas in a rich, evocative way. I had a clear visual image in my head of how every scene should look and what the music should sound like from very early on.
Was there any one moment that ignited a spark in you to create Ambrosia?
I wanted the story of India and her experiences to take place in a slightly altered reality, one where there was an ambiguity of time and place. Once I began thinking about this, I knew the Illawarra was the perfect place to set the story. I was really driven to bring the characters to life in the very places I spent my own childhood, the beautiful Illawarra and make the film with a team of local, talented artists.
What were you aiming for when you started filming Ambrosia?
I've always known I was really lucky growing up in the Illawarra and I was excited set my story and characters against such a visually rich backdrop. I wanted to work together with my cast and crew to tell a sensitive and sometimes sombre story through beautiful and magical imagery, costume and music.
What emotions were you hoping to evoke in viewers and do you think you have achieved that?
Ambrosia has always been about subtlety and the invisible parts of our selves that lie beneath the surface. I never set out to tell the story in one particular way, but rather leave enough ambiguity for interpretation and space for peoples own experiences to shape their understanding and connection to the film.
Tell us a bit about the local people that contributed to the making of Ambrosia? How did you find them?
It was important that the cast and crew knew the Illawarra well because filming here was so much a part of the films tone and style. Once I had a draft script, I collaborated with actor/writer Elias Jamieson Brown to finalise the script, a process that took around 2 months. I then brought together a group of wonderfully talented young creatives to come on board as cast and crew, some I had met at school, others I knew through friends.
The main cast, Rebecca Montalit, Elias Jamieson Brown, Debbie Neilson, Natasha Velkova and Scott Lee were all living in the Wollongong and Southern Highlands area. Costume designer Stephanie Bannenberg, Hair & Make Up artist Alice Herraman, Sound Recordist Stuart Hope, Graphic Designer Christopher Anderson, Musicians Jane Aubourg, Sophie Hanlon and Timothy James Bowen were all local artists that were also good friends of mine.
I saw so much incredible talent and enthusiasm in these young artists that I was really excited to work with them on such an ambitious project. Since making Ambrosia, they have all gone on to pursue their creative areas and I'm really excited to see what's next for such a talented and inspiring group of young artists.
Filming the complete feature in the Illawarra, what were your major challenges?
The visual tapestry of the film was influenced heavily by my home environment and my own desire to find and be immersed in beautiful, haunting places. I wanted the story of India and her experiences to take place in a slightly altered reality, one where there was an ambiguity of time and place. I also wanted to bring the characters to life in the very places I spent my own childhood – the beautiful Illawarra on the South Coast of NSW. The only real challenge of shooting in the Illawarra was choosing from so many fantastic locations!
What did you learn along the way?
My initial point of reference for beginning this feature was taking my existing experience in creating and producing music and transferring that to the film medium. I felt many of the music production skills and desire to evoke emotions through music were relevant to the film making process. In terms of technical problem solving, I spent many hours learning from youtube tutorials and reading books from my local library. I tried to avoid becoming too overwhelmed with the scale of the project by continually focusing on each process and always referring back to my original aesthetic and tone for the film.
How much of your own character is reflected in the characters of your film?
The film is not autobiographical, but draws on incidents and experiences from my life, my circle of friends and my imagination. When I was 13, I had a horse-riding fall that left me with chronic pain. In Ambrosia, I felt it was very important to explore the themes of chronic pain with a subtle and sensitive tone. I wanted to keep India's pain masked and invisible, an undercurrent that remained with her at all times.
What are you most proud of when you think of your accomplishments?
We recently held a pre-screening in Sydney through Pain Australia for their National Pain Week and I was overwhelmed by the response from the audience. I was moved by the sincerity and openness of audience members who came and spoke to me after the screening and how they connected to the story of India. I'm extremely proud of all the people who helped me make Ambrosia and for their constant support and commitment to the project.
I'm also very excited to be Premiering Ambrosia at our very own independent cinema, the Gala Cinema in Warrawong on the 8th of August.
Was there a particular event or time that you recognized that filmmaking was not just a hobby, but that it may be your life and your living?
Music, cinematography and stories have been the centre of everything I have done and for me it is the ultimate combination to continue to explore the world around me and the people in it. I have always been excited and driven to work in the arts, but making Ambrosia has certainly solidified that decision to make film making a life long career choice - and life passion.
You work across a range of creative platforms. What is your main passion? / Where do you see Ambrosia taking you?
Before I made Ambrosia and whilst at university, I released an album of original music called 'Across This Ground' under the name Anwen when I was 18 and was fairly well set on a career in music and performance. Making Ambrosia has offered me a broader canvas to explore and proved to be a wonderful experience that enriched and challenged many aspects of my creative and technical ability.
I am particularly thrilled that the work of the cast and crew is being recognized because collaborating with such an energetic and passionate group of people has been inspiring. The film has also put me in contact with some very generous and creative powerhouses like Shane Burrell from Final Post, Producer Steve Jaggi, and Danny Lachevre and Walter Bienz from The Solid State. I am very grateful for their advice and expertise and am excited to work with them again.
What are your goals from here?
Music, cinematography and stories have been the centre of everything I have done and for me it is the ultimate combination to continue to explore the world around me and the people in it. Since Ambrosia I have worked as cinematographer on several feature films and am currently finalizing the script for my next feature, hoping to commence principal photography before the end of the year.
With a story of physical and inner turmoil you will be captivated by this extraordinary achievement.
Ambrosia will make its debut premiere right here at Gala Cinemas Warrawong on Saturday, 8 August.
This special presentation will feature an intimate Q&A with the director and cast about the making of this personal film set in the Illawarra region in NSW.

3 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
TQA Interview
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at S&P Capital IQ.
Long and complex. The selection process is pretty stiff and overall presentation matters as much as your knowledge. Confidence is a must and so is ones presence of mind. The ability to adapt and improvise are a big plus. The multiple rounds might seem easy but do not take them lightly. Being honest is good.

Historical Traveler Reviews Donovan House - A Kimpton Hotel Washington DC
Minimalist, Different, Very Comfortable
If you like contemporary and minimalist but very accommodating, this is for you. As a business traveler, I was very satisfied. Here are the plus points:
1. great bed, linens and robe
2. very quiet AC
3. Liehl's products
4. FREE wireless internet
5. coffee, quality teas and REAL creamers in the rm. (none of that powdered crap)
6. the sink and the shower is pretty cool
7. digital TV
The decor is black and white with a touch of aubergine. And, I found the service to be welcoming and quick. I totally recommend this hotel!
Great service, nice hotel
The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful, definitely making our stay as comfortable as possible. We received a hand delivered welcome letter along with designer candy, (not sure if all customers receive that treatment - for a moment it felt like a Hotels.com commercial!)
The room itself was a bit small, with just enough room for a bed, TV, and bathroom. That was a Queen Superior room, (their cheapest), but the larger rooms looked much better in size. I guess if you get the cheapest rate from Hotels.com then you get the smallest room.
Decor was stylish with very funky lighting fixtures.
Some have commented on the fact there is no top sheet between the bed and comforter, this is a standard European bedding configuration and no cause for alarm! (Our comforter cover was changed daily).
The single-serve coffee machines are logical if you consider the fact that they use disposable coffee capsules, which allows the machine to also make tea for us tea drinkers. A feat that cannot be reasonably achieved with traditional coffee makers!
A small scale complimentary breakfast was available, muffins, fruit, pastries and coffee. Not a huge selection but great quality stuff.
The Kiehls amenities were very nice, although they did not replace them after the third day. May have just been an oversight...
All in all a very nice place with great service. At the discounted rates it makes for great value for money, but full price seems a bit much for what you get.
Hotel seems to be done in a cheap way. Furniture, decor etc is trendy but low end. Service needs improvement. Ordered ice and it took approx 45 minutes to come up and say that they were out of buckets and asked for the one in the room. The ice showed up about 30 minutes after that. I was excited about the hotel coming to DC because I think 60 Thompson is a great hotel. For the money, I would stay in a Kimpton hotel for the same price but better value.
The devil is in the details...
The hotel is nice and the staff was great, but with hotels like this, the devil is in the details:
1. The shower would switch to cold and then get really hot.
2. The sink did not drain quickly enough so I ended up with toothpaste residue in the sink.
3. It is very bright outside this building, but the curtains did not sufficiently black out the room.
Neat hotel...but not sure it will ultimately be worth the $$
The rooms were a little small -- but the decor was very design-y and minimalist -- alomst to the point of being a bit dysfunctional, but not quite. The bed was extrememly comfortable and the bathroom and shower were awesome. The service I thought was excellent and the breakfast as others have written was not uch to write home about (mostly becuase there was no place to even really sit down as it is served in the lobby). I did not get to see the pool area on the roof -- but it looked more than promising and I am lookign forward to a return visit in the summer just to check that out. I got a great introductory rate for this stay and a couple of upcoming stays -- at that price -- it is an amazing hotel. At the price it seems as though they would like to charge moving forward -- I am not sure it will be worth it. But overall -- cool hotel, very comfortable but smallish room, perfect location.
Great visit to Donovan House
Service was great. Style is quirky but very fun. Our kids loved the unique shower. My only criticism is that the lighting was a little dim in the rooms.
Still getting the bugs worked out
I stayed at the newly opened Donovan House recently (just a week after they opened). The property--formerly a Holiday Inn Central--is now a boutique Thompson Hotel property. The interior was very nice and the new linens and towels great. Indeed, the over-priced DC market badly needs more hotels. That being said: (i) I had to call 4 times to get a sheet for the bed (they don't use them and claim to wash the comforter) and (ii) called 3 times to get an ironing board. The single-serve coffee machine did not impress nor did the muffins in the lobby for breakfast. I returned to my room at 430pm and it still had not been cleaned since there were no clean linens.
In short, the place has great potential but is still in various stages of construction and training of new staff.
Excellent service - beautiful hotel
Booked my hotel by going straight to the hotel from the airport. Wonderfully quirky furniture and beautiful woodwork at the lobby. The front office personnel were very friendly and chatted me up. Am normally suspicious of this kind of behavior being they're supposed to be friendly anyway, but it came across as sincere. The room I stayed in had a king bed with the best linen I've ever felt and the first shower of its kind I've even seen, I had to go around a spiral to get to it. Again, quirky. What I liked most: free internet, free business center, free breakfast, free fitness center. My Iphone got its own home in their clock which was also an charger which was a nice touch. Not being a fan of Kiehl's, I appreciated it as that was what was in the bathroom. I was there a couple of days after opening so everything was immaculate as one should expect, and for the price I paid I thought it was the best value for my money.
Great Hotel if you skip breakfast
We stayed at the Donovon House for one night just after the hotel has started operation. We got a great opening rate on their website and were very pleasantly surprised how well the hotel was operated already. The rooms are quite spacious and in a modern, very comfortable and relaxing design (you can definitely trust the symbolic drawings on their website). The bathroom was absolutely amazing, and their "signature cocoon spiral shower" is a nice feature. The staff was very friendly and attentive, although we felt a little overwhelmed by the attention we got as first customers. Needless to say that the central location of the hotel in a quite neighboorhood is perfect for whatever your plans are in D.C.
The only downside of our stay at the Donovant house was the (at least complementary) continental breakfast. In a four star hotel, you can't serve your guest a selection of only two muffins and an apple virtually in the hotel entrance hall and have them even brew their coffee on their own. I understand that the hotel restaurant is not operating yet and I am confident that things will improve once this will be the case. However, management has to address the breakfast problem immediately and find a temporary solution for this in order not to have the reviews of their otherwise simply great hotel being tainted by this issue.
Quirky Hotel
Interesting Hotel with an art deco sort of feel. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The only thing that I did not like was that the parking is overpriced at $35 a night and I wasn't a fan of the shower since it has no shower head and comes down from the ceiling like a water fall. Unfortunately this doesn't allow for much water pressure.
I do think that travelers should check this hotel out at least once to see if it is your style.

Newseum, my favorite museum
... we entered, and the staff was very friendly. They gave us a tour guide (booklet) which had a very nice map of every floor in it. There are six floors total, and the best way to make your way through the museum is to start on floor six and work your way down. Every floor contains 2-3 different exhibits, and some of them are always changing. My favorite exhibits were: the 9/11 exhibit, the presidents and their dogs exhibit, and the exhibit ...

Steph and I wandered around and took some of those photos we really wanted to get before we leave early in the morning. I think today is the first day we have made it home before 6.00pm. Really love this place will be hard to leave tomorrow.
Washington DC: a tick off the bucket list.
... and every traveller is looking for something different. I arrived at the hostel after a long night train from Chicago and a long walk in the baking, humid heat with my huge bags. After getting checked in, they made me sign an agreement to all their rules in the hostel. No drinking after 10pm. No shoes in the hostel. 10 minute showers (due to their lacking in facilities). The list went on. I had doubts about the sort of experience I was going to have there but I tried ...
The Capital
... started with the gorgeous realisation that I was in a big, soft double bed and I did not need to lock up my stuff and put my money belt on just to go to the toilet! Hooray! My day started in Starbucks with a big creamy latte which was very yummy. I then took the subway to the art museum section of town which is very close to all the national monuments. I walked up and around Capitol Hill before going in the National Botanical Gardens - this place ...
Let's walk the long way around shall we?
... Japanese household – I longed to feel the silk but no photos /no handling … sob sob.
We wandered through an old oak panelled room with an enormous fireplace, through the French doors and out into the formal garden – a really peaceful place.
It was close to 12 noon so we headed off and back to the main street and got a couple of filled bagels for lunch – they ...

I was just reading the article linked in the feature post above and found that babies born to mothers on insulin are 7.7 times more likely to have low blood sugar at birth.
This worries me as when my son was born, they tested his bs (even though I didn't have GD then) and he was "such a big baby" (their exact words, even though he was 8 pounds even and 21.5 inches). He nursed a couple times during the first hour or two, but his bs didn't go up so they gave him a bottle of formula after making me feel like I had to or I was being a bad mom who didn't care about her baby.
I know a lot more now than I did then and don't want that to happen again if possible. Has anyone requested another method of feeding a baby after birth other than a bottle (syringe, SNS, etc?). The dietician told me the other day that there is a high possiblity of my baby needing formula but assured me it wouldn't cause nipple confusion, which I believe it can. Would talking to my pediatrician or a lactation consultant beforehand be a good method?
I nursed my other three kids for a combined total of 6 years, it is VERY important to me, and I want to make sure this baby is a successful nurser from the beginning.

DENVER (AP)—Aaron Cook doesn't consider himself a stopper, but he's certainly pitching like one.
Cook gave the Rockies the strong outing they needed, Matt Holliday had two hits and two RBIs and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 on Sunday to end a four-game losing streak.
It was the fifth time Cook (5-1) stopped a Rockies' losing streak, and for the third straight start he ended a four-game losing streak. The Rockies are 6-1 when Cook starts and 6-18 in other games.
"That's a title you guys gave me and I'll never put it on myself," Cook said of the stopper label. "I'm just trying to be consistent."
Since giving up four earned runs in losing his first start of the season, Cook has been stingy. He's given up 13 earned runs and averaged seven innings in his last six starts—all of them Colorado victories. He hasn't walked a batter in his last two starts.
"He has a real good balance on the mound right now," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "He has good command of his pitches and he's attacking the strike zone."
Taylor Buchholz pitched a perfect final 1 2-3 innings to pick up his first save of the season.
Andre Ethier homered for the Dodgers, who had their eight-game winning streak snapped. Derek Lowe (2-2) took the loss.
Cook mixed his sinker and fastball to record 17 groundouts, and at one point he recorded five straight. He scattered nine hits and struck out two. He left after giving up Juan Pierre's RBI single that made it 6-2.
"He kept us on our heels by staying aggressive," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "We couldn't mount anything. When we did get baserunners, he always made the pitch and got outs."
Cook retired the first 10 batters and 13 of the first 14. He gave up a one-out solo homer to Ethier and a single to Blake DeWitt in the fifth, but he got Chin-lung Hu to hit into an inning-ending double play.
"Cookie has been our best pitcher so far, and anytime your best pitcher is on the mound you feel pretty good about it," Holliday said.
Pinch-hitter Delwyn Young led off the sixth with a single, but Cook got hot-hitting Rafael Furcal to ground into a double play.
"He had it going today," first baseman Todd Helton said.
The Rockies jumped on Lowe early. Omar Quintanilla doubled home Scott Podsednik, Holliday singled home Quintanilla, and then Lowe walked two to load the bases with no outs. He had already thrown more than 40 pitches by the time he got his first out, but he minimized the damage by allowing only one more run in the first. It took him 51 pitches to get out of the first inning.
"I've never thrown 41 pitches before the first out of the game," Lowe said. "That was a first and it set the tone for a slower-paced game. I was fortunate to get out of the first inning with 51 pitches and only three runs."
Lowe settled down after that, and he retired 11 straight at one stretch before Cook singled to lead off the fifth. He gave up RBI singles to Holliday and Garrett Atkins and left after the fifth inning.
The Rockies cushioned their lead in the sixth when Podsednik singled to drive in Chris Iannetta to make it 6-1.
Torre said the Dodgers have had the eyes of slumping Andruw Jones examined several times. "They've checked out OK," Torre said. "We know his problems aren't physical ones and his hitting trouble isn't terminal." … Dodgers RHP Jason Schmidt (shoulder) will throw a simulated game in Los Angeles on Monday. … Furcal has reached base in all 31 games this year. He is three shy of tying Duke Snider 1955 record for the club's longest streak to start the season, according to Elias Sports Bureau. … Rockies INF Jonathan Herrera got his first career RBI in the eighth inning.

Intel hits 52-week high after results beat estimates
Shares of semiconductor giant Intel (INTC) are rising after the company's second quarter results beat analysts' consensus estimates. WHAT'S NEW: Last night, Intel reported Q2 earnings per share of 55c and revenue of $13.8B, beating analysts' consensus estimates of 52c and $13.69B, respectively. Q2 gross margin was 64.5%. WHAT'S NOTABLE: For Q3, revenue was forecast at $14.4B, plus or minus $500M, versus consensus of $14.02B. Gross margin was expected at 66%, plus or minus a couple of percentage points. FY14 revenue growth was forecast at approximately 5% and Intel sees its FY14 gross margin percentage to come in at 63%, plus or minus a few percentage points. The company also announced a $20B increase to its share repurchase plan. ANALYST REACTION: This morning, analyst commentary was mostly positive. Six separate firms - Piper Jaffray, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Stifel, Jefferies, and Drexel Hamilton - all raised their respective price targets on Intel. Two other firms, UBS and B. Riley, both upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral. A dissenting opinion came from RBC Capital, which thinks the company will be burdened by start-up costs in Q4 and the first quarter of the next fiscal year. The firm thinks there is a risk that the Intel's gross margins will drop and it kept a Sector Perform rating on the shares. PRICE ACTION: In late morning trading, Intel rose $2.09, or about 6.6%, to $33.80 on nearly twice its average daily trading volume. Earlier in the session, the stock hit a new 52-week high of $33.95. Including today's advance, the stock is up nearly 40% over the past 12 months. OTHERS TO WATCH: Other companies in the semiconductor space include Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), up 2%, Qualcomm (QCOM), up 0.4%, Texas Instruments (TXN), up 0.6%, and Broadcom (BRCM), up 1%.

Earnings Watch: Micron quarter highlighted by Tsinghua report, 3D XPoint launch
Micron Technology (MU) is expected to report fourth quarter earnings after the close on Thursday, October 1, with a conference call scheduled for 4:30 pm EDT. Micron manufactures semiconductor devices, principally Dynamic Random Access Memory, or DRAM, NAND Flash and NOR Flash memory. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for earnings per share of 33c on revenue of $3.56B. The consensus range is 22c-47c for EPS on revenue of $3.4B-$3.68B, according to First Call. On its last earnings conference call, Micron guided for Q4 revenue of $3.45B-$3.7B. In terms of bit growth in Q4, the company said it expected DRAM bit growth to be flat to up by a low single digit percentage in the quarter. LAST QUARTER: On June 25, Micron reported Q3 adjusted EPS of 54c, against a consensus of 56c, and revenue of $3.85B, against a consensus of $3.9B. The company said then that its decline in revenues compared to prior quarter was primarily due to a 10% decline in DRAM average selling prices and relatively flat DRAM sales volume. NEWS: Wednesday, shares of Western Digital (WDC) surged after Unisplendour, a unit of China's Tsinghua Holdings, agreed to buy a 15% stake in the U.S. data storage company for $3.78B. In July, The Wall Street Journal reported that Tsinghua Unigroup, which is a majority-owned unit of Tsinghua Holdings, offered to buy Micron for $23B. As of yet no deal has come to fruition, but Tsinghua Holdings chairman Jinghong Xu has reportedly said that his company was open to a partnership with Micron if an acquisition deal could not be reached. Also during this quarter, Intel (INTC) and Micron unveiled 3D XPoint technology, a non-volatile memory that the companies say has the potential to "revolutionize any device, application or service that benefits from fast access to large sets of data." Now in production, 3D XPoint technology brings non-volatile memory speeds up to 1,000 times faster than NAND, according to the partners. STREET RESEARCH: After the Journal's initial report that Tsinghua had offered to acquire Micron, research firms had mixed reactions. Tsinghua may have indicated that it was making the "low ball" offer in order to gauge the reaction of Micron's management and shareholders to it, Summit Research analyst Srini Sundarararjan contended in a note to investors immediately following the story. Tsinghua will probably increase its bid, the analyst predicted. Piper Jaffray analyst Ruben Roy told investors that the deal makes sense for Tsinghua and China, but not for Micron. If a takeover of Micron was based on the average valuation that companies in Micron's sector had received in takeover deals over the last 18 months, it would fetch a takeover price of $43 per share, Roy estimated. Micron and Tsinghua are more likely to reach an intellectual property sharing deal than complete a takeover transaction, according to Piper's analyst. On August 7, Drexel Hamilton analyst Richard Whittington downgraded Micron to Hold from Buy, stating that a PC unit refresh hasn't materialized and DRAM unit demand and pricing were trending below anticipated levels. Whittington cut his price target on Micron shares to $19. After Micron held its analyst meeting on August 14, analysts were divided in their responses. Right after the event, Wells Fargo upgraded Micron to Market Perform from Underperform, while pointing out that it still believes that the company is facing several risks, including falling prices for DRAM and its rising capital spending. Although Micron is facing "challenging near-term conditions," including a weak PC market, the company outlined many positive aspects of its business at the meeting, according to Piper's Roy. Micron may miss estimates in the short-term but its share price is unlikely to drop much further, and its performance should improve significantly next year, Roy said at that time. Micron's decision to raise its capital spending suggests that it is "overconfident" in its new chips, according to Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analyst Simon Dong-je Woo, who cut his rating on the shares to Neutral from Buy following the analyst day. Also during August, Baird downgraded Micron to Neutral, citing falling DRAM prices. On September 21, Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis started shares of Micron with an Overweight rating and $20 price target, saying he believed near-term risk from weak DRAM demand was priced into the stock at then-current levels. Earlier this week, Wells Fargo analyst David Wong upgraded Micron Technology to Outperform, saying current valuation levels provide upside potential. Wong cut his estimates for the company, however, citing the "ongoing slide" in DRAM pricing. Nonetheless, he thinks that memory industry financial dynamics have improved in recent years and keeps a $16-$19 price target range for Micron shares. PRICE ACTION: Over the last three months, shares of Micron have fallen about 22%. Ahead of its earnings report, Micron declined 2.3% to $14.64 in late day trading.
Apple chip suppliers fall after report iPhone maker may lower chip orders
Shares of chip makers for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone are sliding after a DigiTimes article said the iPhone maker may curtail its chip orders for the fourth quarter. WHAT'S NEW: According to the DigiTimes report, Apple may be adjusting its chip orders lower for Q4. Sources said that a substantial integrated circuit supplier is saying that Apple has "slightly lowered lowered its demand for supplies for the new iPhones for December," the report said. The sources said that overall shipments of the iPhone 6s series are expected to reach 75M-80M units in the third quarter and 65M-70M units in Q4. WHAT'S NOTABLE: On September 28, Apple announced it has sold more than 13M new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models just three days after launch, a new record for the company. According to an iFixit report from September 25, a teardown of the new iPhone 6S Plus revealed components supplied by Qualcomm (QCOM), Skyworks (SWKS), Qorvo (QRVO), Avago (AVGO), NXP Semiconductors (NXPI), Cirrus Logic (CRUS) and Texas Instruments (TXN), among others. Other chip makers that have been mentioned as possible Apple suppliers in the past include Analog Devices (ADI), Maxim Integrated Products. (MXIM) and ON Semiconductor (ON). PRICE ACTION: In midday trading shares of the aforementioned chip makers are all lower with Qorvo, Avago, NXP and Analog Devices down approximately 4% to 5%. Apple is down about 1.4%.

Western Digital surges on $3.78B investment from China's Unisplendour
Shares of Western Digital (WDC) surged in morning trading after the company said it Unisplendour will take a 15% stake in the U.S. data storage company. WHAT'S NEW: Western Digital and Unisplendour, a unit of China's Tsinghua Holdings, said they entered into a pact under which a Unis subsidiary will invest $3.78B in Western Digital, the companies said. Under the terms of the agreement, Unis will buy the shares at $92.50 each. Unisplendour will own 15% of Western Digital's outstanding shares after the purchase, and have the right to nominate one representative to Western Digital's board of directors, a right that terminates if Unis' ownership falls below 10%. Unis also agreed not to sell any of its Western Digital shares for five years. WHAT'S NOTABLE: In July, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tsinghua Unigroup, which is majority-owned Tsinghua Holdings, offered to buy Micron Technology (MU) for $23B. After several talks and meetings over the matter, Reuters reported on August 28 that Zhao Weiguo, chairman of Tsinghua Unigroup, met with Micron in an attempt to revive takeover talks, but a deal did not come to fruition. Tsinghua Holdings chairman Jinghong Xu said that his company was open to a partnership with Micron if an acquisition deal could not be reached, dealReporter said. Separately, in May, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) announced that it would sell a 51% stake in its H3C business to Unisplendour for roughly $2.3B. PRICE ACTION: In morning trading, Western Digital shares are up 16.06% to $79.91. OTHERS TO WATCH: Micron, which reports quarterly earnings on Thursday, is up 5.25% to $15.10, HP is up 2.56% to $25.28, SanDisk (SNDK) is up 9.2% to $53.63, Intel (INTC) is up 3.56% to $30.28, and Seagate (STX) is up 5.5% to $44.10.

Analyst more upbeat on Intel, downgrades Qorvo following trip to Asia
After traveling to Asia, Pacific Crest analyst Michael McConenell was more upbeat on the outlook for Intel (INTC), as well as smartphone chip makers Avago (AVGO) and Skyworks (SWKS). The analyst downgraded another smartphone chip maker, Qorvo (QRVO), to Sector Weight from Overweight, warning that the company's results may miss expectations down the road. BULLISH: Shipments of notebook computers appear set to exceed expectations by 5%-10% this month, after more of the devices seem to have been manufactured in August and September than in previous months, according to McConnell. Meanwhile, cloud customers are sparking a significant rebound in data centers' semiconductor demand, the analyst stated. Moreover, motherboard manufacturers say they are seeing increased demand for their products from desktop PC makers, the analyst stated. All of these trends bode well for Intel, indicated McConnell, who kept a $35 price target and Overweight rating on the shares. Demand for Avago's products appears to have remained healthy, given the company's low exposure to China and the strong demand for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 6S devices, the analyst stated. Another research firm, Craig-Hallum, recently estimated that Avago generates $6.75 of revenue per iPhone 6S sold, up from the $6.50 it obtained from the previous generation of iPhones. Pacific Crest's McConnell kept a $180 price target and Overweight rating on the shares of Avago. Skyworks should benefit from strong near-term demand trends, driven by a shift to module architectures, McConnell contended. According to the analyst, the company's 2016 outlook is also strong. BEARISH: Analysts' "out-quarter estimates" for Qorvo are too high, as they expect the company to grow 8.4% each quarter, versus only 5.9% for Skyworks, McConnell stated. Qorvo is facing several headwinds, including struggles with a key customer, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, and its inability to obtain more revenue per each iPhone sold, the analyst stated. These headwinds will probably prevent Qorvo from meeting analysts' expectations, warned McConnell. Additionally, the company will be hurt by the slowdown in the growth of the Chinese smartphone market, predicted the analyst, who cut his rating on the stock to Sector Weight from Overweight. PRICE ACTION: In morning trading, Intel rose 1.2% to $29.16, Avago dropped 1.7% to $124.56, Skyworks fell 3.6% to $84.58 and Qorvo declined 8.5% to $43.61.

Cirrus leads iPhone suppliers higher as analysts dissect 6S
Cirrus Logic (CRUS), Skyworks (SWKS) and Qorvo (QRVO) are among the chipmakers that appear poised to obtain more revenue from Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 6S devices than from the previous generation of the market-leading smartphone. Research firms issued notes today based on their analysis of "teardowns" of the new phones after they went on sale for the first time, beginning in Australia. TEARDOWNS: Apple's common practice when rolling out its newest iPhone models is for Australia to be its first launch market. The unboxing of iPhones when they become available for sale for the first time anywhere in the world is a much anticipated event among the tech giant's fans, as well as by Apple-focused blogs and Wall Street analysts who follow the company. Websites like iFixit have become well known for their "teardowns" of the devices, where they purchase, take apart and analyze the way in which the device is made and how it differs from previous models. These teardowns are closely watched by analysts and can sometimes be catalysts for the stocks of iPhone component suppliers. CIRRUS: Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis says teardowns of Apple's iPhone 6S indicate Cirrus Logic secured both a smart codec and boosted amp win in the new phone. The company's content in each phone is likely towards the upper end of his $3.50-$4.00 estimate, Curtis tells investors, noting that he views this as better than expected. Curtis thinks the 6S content, coupled with the "several new growth drivers" Cirrus outlined at yesterday's technology day, could reverse the negative sentiment on the stock. He keeps an Overweight rating on the name with a $39 price target. OTHER WINNERS AND LOSERS: Skyworks and Qorvo saw their content rise 22% and 25% respectively, Curtis estimated. NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) is continuing to supply the NFC and Secure Element chips for the 6S devices, but is no longer providing the sensor hub, the analyst reported. The company will lose about 50c per iPhone as a result of this development, but it did know that it would no longer be providing the hub before it provided its guidance in July, according to Curtis. STMicroelectronics (STM) is no longer providing the secure MCU for the iPhone 6S, Curtis added. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Other companies that are supplying iPhone 6S components include Qualcomm (QCOM), Texas Instruments (TXN), and Avago (AVGO), iFixit reported. After conducting checks, Craig-Hallum analyst Anthony Stoss estimated that Skyworks will obtain about $6.50 of revenue per iPhone, up from about $5.50 previously, while Qorvo's revenue per device will rise to $6.25 from $5.75 and Avago will see its revenue per device increase to about $6.75 from about $6.50, Stoss believes. The firm kept Buy ratings on Skyworks, Avago, and Qorvo. PRICE ACTION: In morning trading, Cirrus shares jumped $4.36, or 16%, to $31.49, Skyworks added about 3% and Qorvo rose 4%. Meanwhile, NXP gained about 2% and STMicroelectronics advanced 2.5%.
