When Hanson's massively addictive "MMMBop" became a staple on radio in 1997, none of the three brothers in the band were old enough to drink alcohol. Flash-forward 17 years later and the trio has its own beer fittingly named MMMHops, according to Mashable.
In an MMMBop, They're (Not) Gone: Hanson Brothers Talk Longevity
For Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson — now ages 33, 31 and 28 — many aspects of their lives have changed. They can drink. They're all married. Combined, they have 11 children.
With these major life events, Hanson's music has evolved, with eight albums achieving top 40 status along the way. This year after releasing their ninth studio album "Anthem" in 2013, the brothers are on the tail end of their Anthem World Tour, which wraps up in August, Mashable reports.

Elderly resident victimized in St. JosephPublished 8:46pm Wednesday, March 21, 2012
The St. Joseph Police Department reports that two unknown persons victimized an elderly resident Monday morning.
The victim was duped into a roofing scheme and was distracted from the front of her house as an unknown person entered the home through the front door and pried open a locked filing cabinet. It is believed that jewelry was stolen.
The only description given was a white male in his 20s, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, has dark wavy hair and was wearing a white shirt. The second person was never seen. No vehicle was spotted.
"We cannot express enough to our residents to not open their doors to strangers and never let anyone into your home," Det. Dale F. Easton stated in a press release. "Always ask for identification.
"If you receive a phone call that you won the lottery or receive a check in the mail that you won something, it's probably not true. Do not give personal information over the phone to an unsolicited stranger."

The electronic money business while met with controversy in both governmental and fiscal sector has grown quickly since Bitcoin was first created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike fiat money cryptocurrency isn't made by banks as well as commanded by authorities. It's economical to transfer and may be shielded against inflation. Cryptocurrencies may invoke a paradigm shift to individuals 's edge, particularly in states with limited financing, along with to help the an incredible number of unbanked world-wide.
Cryptocurrencies have two ways of controlling exactly how many coins should exist; 'Evidence-of-Work', and Evidence-of-Stake', also called 'minting'. Minting is the procedure for adding trade records to the public ledger through computers solving algorithms. This can be the approach used when creating Bitcoins. Minting needs a steep learning curve and an initial investment that ranges from a couple of dollars in a mining pool to several thousand dollars to get a physical miner. Minting additionally needs constant reinvestment in computer hardware and electricity; which for many presents an important entry barrier. Evidence-of-Stake, on the flip side, is a virtualization of the above mentioned procedure which reaches exactly the same effect but is more price- and energy efficient and requires less expertise in the person. DMD Diamond unites the strengths of both to produce a hybrid system that's not only really capable of securing the network but also tremendously rewarding for DMD users.
Minting through Evidence-of-Position provides interest just like a financial institution, yet because of the fact it's not organization centric, but user oriented, the level of interest the person receives is incomparably higher. DMD Diamond's network algorithms ensure DMD adopter's 50% interest per annum which in real terms means that the deposited 1000 DMD will give an additional 500 DMD handsfree. To make use of a DMD Diamond wallet is as easy as opening the wallet and keeping it working in the background on a PC. This makes DMD an ideal option for beginner and technology-savvy users equally. Diamond's system is programmed to operate mechanically and optimize gains for DMD adopters, rather than to make gain from users as in conventional banking.
As a way http://bitquick.co improve the DMD adopters riches with 50% per annum without causing hyperinflation and loss of value Diamond's system is regulated by a predefined and attentively designed issuance model. The model takes into consideration all potential consequences and any increase of coin count created by numerous players so that the failure of DMD Diamond monetary system is at all time prevented. DMD Diamond takes a continuously falling inflation strategy together with the supreme goal of reaching inflation at level with annual world gold excavation.
In a period where the banking sector has turned out to be shaky and world authorities always alter interest rates, DMD Diamond brings equilibrium with predefined cryptographic algorithms. Modern companies in just about any state, with any regime have the ability to plan not only months but decades ahead when executing DMD Diamond for their business.

Thanks kgj. I'm currently using a Palm m505 with MMCd freeware for datalogging my 1g. I have both the serial (DB9) & USB cable. I use the serial along with the datalogger (diy) cable to connect to the diagnostic port. The USB cable is used for Hotsyncing and charging the Palm. According to the Palm support site, the existing cradle for the m500 series can still be used for the TW. I also found this page which says something about the TW with Audacity DVR software... clicky. You can also check the Audacity main site here... http://www.audiost.com I may have to get a TW to see if it really can handle both datalogging and mp3 playback. :DQuote:

Rajon Rondo has been with the Celtics since his rookie year in 2006. He's been one of the key factors to the Celtics success over the years and has proven himself as one of the better point guards in the game. There have been games such as Game 4 against the Hawks in the first round of the Eastern Conference where Rondo has carried the team to victory. He's smart, he can score, he can drive through several defenders and get to the hoop to smash down the dunk, and he can rebound. With Ray Allen gone, you will probably see Rondo take it up a notch as shown through the pre-season so far. He has played more minutes than anyone else on the team, he has the fifth most points, the most assists by far (which as point guard should not be surprising), but he also is just one rebound shy of matching Brandon Bass. The one thing Rondo will have to watch though is his turnovers. Any basketball fans know that turnovers can lose you the game and last night Rondo had five. You definitely won't see Rondo shooting threes much. He certainly won't help with the absence of Ray in that respect. However, that's where the signing of Jason Terry becomes key. Keep a close eye on Rondo this pre-season. His performance will most definitely play a huge role in the outcome of the Celtics season.

US sues VeriFone to block buyout of rival Hypercom
05/12, 6:55pm
Justice fears competition in POS market at risk
The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit seeking to block Verifone from gobbling up rival point-of-sale (POS) credit card information equipment vendor Hypercom. According to DOJ, the market is very concentrated. Verifone holds a 48 percent share of the US market, Hypercom, a 18 percent share, and French-based Ingenico 26 percent. Verifone had planned to sell off Hypercom's US operation to Ingenico, hoping that would pave the way for Governmental approval. However, the Justice department saw things differently.

Back in the '80's one of our favorite Middle Eastern (Lebanese) restaurants in Boston was The Red Fez. I so enjoyed their "oriental salad" that I asked what the secret ingredients were. The answer - lemon juice & mint. I so enjoyed this dressing that it helped me overcome my aversion to green pepper, as I wanted to consumer everything this dressing touched. A perfect accompaniment to lamb kabobs.
YIELD: Serves 4
1 head romaine, broken into bite-size pieces (or 2 hearts of romaine)
1/2 English cucumber, cut into 1/2" chunks
handful of grape tomatoes, halved
Several slices red onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 medium-sized green bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
Handful of pitted Kalamata olives
2-3 ounce chunk sheep's milk feta, crumbled
Dressing - approximate amounts:
1 garlic clove crushed
2 tsp dried mint leaf
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Juice of 1/2 thin-skinned juicy lemon
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
S&P to taste

Nearly 70 percent of employees admit to coming into the office while sick, according to one study. Of course, it's at work that most of us transfer and contract the billions of germs that make us sick in the first place. One recent study found typical office keyboards hosting bacteria levels up to five times higher than toilet seats. Follow these simple tips to protect yourself and your coworkers from the billions of bacteria and viruses that cover the phones, keyboards and mice you handle every day.
According to the CDC, hand-sanitizing wipes are actually more effective than gels. Stock your desk drawer with wipes containing at least 60 percent alcohol content and you'll keep your hands cleaner than if you had freshly washed with hot, soapy water. Be aware that instant hand sanitizers can be overly harsh: Due to the vulnerability of dry and cracked skin, don't use wipes with alcohol levels exceeding 95 percent.
When you're away from your desk, rely on gels to rid your hands of the germs you'd otherwise return to your workstation. Frequent and liberal use is also important: Many experts warn that if your hands are dry within 15 seconds, you haven't maximized the gel's germ-killing potential. Rub your hands for a full 30 seconds to be certain.
Finding a heavy-duty sanitizing wipe without the heavy-duty chemical smell is the key to actually using them. Method offers wipes with all the disinfectant power of Lysol in milder scents like Lemon Verbena and Orange Zest. Sanitizing your desk once a day will not only drastically reduce your chances of getting a cold or flu at work, but will also force you to maintain a well-organized work space.
If you're working from a non-polyurethaned wooden desk, you'll need to get non-damaging sprays. Clorox makes an Anywhere Sanitizing Spray, or you can make your own with three tablespoons of white distilled water to one cup of water. To prevent marking, dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
With one study finding its bacteria levels five times higher than a toilet, the keyboard is without a doubt the filthiest piece of equipment at our desks. But as it's such a hassle, fewer than 10 percent of us clean keyboards regularly. With the right tools, however, sanitizing your keyboard can be easy. Perform the following regimen weekly: stock your desk with cotton swabs, cleaning solution, a lint-free cloth and a can of compressed air. Use the compressed air to blow dust out from the nooks between your keys and run over the keyboard with the lint-free cloth. To sanitize, lightly dip your cotton swab in the solution (isopropyl alcohol works well) and run along the edge of each key. Finally, give the whole keyboard a thorough wipe down with a cloth moistened with the solution.
While reusable water bottles are a great office-mate, remember that signature water bottle funk is actually bacteria build-up. Just like any dish you use at home, water bottles require daily cleaning. Simply flushing the bottle with fresh water won't do; be sure to scour the bacteria-laden bottle with soap and hot water. Also, keep in mind doctors suggest stainless steel and glass bottles over plastic because they leach less chemicals and are less hospitable to bad-smelling bacteria.
Consider one easy way to keep your office snacks germ-free: Instead of repeatedly putting your dirty hands into a large bag, keep what you're eating in a smaller container. Similarly, keeping your papers and other bric-a-brac on your desk neatly put away will prevent the growth of bacteria on papers and debris that just can't be sanitized.
With a shocking 80 percent of infectious diseases transmitted through touch, hands are certainly the number one vector of colds and flus. Some studies put the number of times workers touch their faces at once every four minutes. Between sanitizing hands and limiting luxurious eye rubs, workers will likely cut their sick days by half.
This is obvious, but crucial. Hand washing is the single most important way to prevent the spread of infectious disease. And studies repeatedly prove that while 96 percent of people report regular and rigorous hand-washing, the number that actually do is lower than that. During cold and flu season, doubling up on soap and hot water and instant sanitizer is the only safe bet to protect yourself and your office.
Studies show adults who take vitamin C tend to get sick less often -- and when they do, they avoid nasty complications and heal more quickly. If you don't get enough fruits and vegetables in your diet, it's a good idea to up your dose: 2,000 milligrams per day is the upper limit of safe dosages for adults. If you're the forgetful in the morning or you feel weird munching kale at your desk, keep a stash of vitamins at your desk.
Taking small steps to take care of yourself and your workspace can do a great deal towards keeping you (and your coworkers) healthy. Avoid needlessly exposing yourself to germs when you can easily reduce your risk of getting sick and improve the sanitation of your work area, and enjoy a healthier, more productive lifestyle.

The HYB 211-01B-005 immunogen is human recombinant NGAL in monomer and dimer forms.
|General Information
|Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is a member of the lipocalin family of proteins which bind and transport small lipophilic molecules. NGAL is released by activated neutrophils and occurs as 25 kDa glycosylated single protein chain monomers, which form dimers and small amounts of higher oligomers, as well as complexes with matrix metalloproteinase 9. Low level expression of NGAL in a variety of epithelia may be increased in inflammation or cancers. Expression of NGAL in the kidney is dramatically increased by acute kidney injury.

Fresh Fig Tart with Rosemary Cornmeal Crust and Lemon Mascarpone Cream
IngredientsFor crust
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal (not stone-ground)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
For filling
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (8 oz)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons red-currant jelly
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 lb fresh figs
- Special equipment: an 11 1/4- by 8- by 1-inch rectangular or 10-inch round fluted tart pan (1 inch deep) with a removable bottom
PreparationMake crust:
Pulse together flour, cornmeal, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter and rosemary and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 4 tablespoons ice water and pulse until just incorporated.
Gently squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition and continuing to test.
Press dough evenly onto bottom and up sides of tart pan with floured fingers. Smooth dough with a small offset metal spatula or back of a spoon (floured if necessary), then roll a rolling pin over top of pan to trim dough flush with rim. Chill crust until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Bake crust in middle of oven until center and edges are golden, 25 to 30 minutes (don't worry if bottom of crust cracks), then cool in pan on a rack.
Prepare filling and assemble tart:
Whisk together sour cream, mascarpone, sugar, zest, and salt in a bowl.
Heat jelly and honey in a small saucepan over moderately low heat, whisking, until jelly is melted, about 4 minutes, then cool glaze slightly.
Remove side of tart pan and spread mascarpone cream in shell. Cut figs lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange decoratively over cream. Brush figs with honey glaze.
Cooks' notes:
· Crust can be made 1 day ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
· Mascarpone mixture can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. · Tart can be assembled 1 hour ahead and kept, loosely covered, at room temperature.

After Intel and IBM came up short this week, Google's Q3 numbers were released early Thursday utterly surprising a market high on its business, an enthusiasm that had driven its stock to all-time highs.
It missed big on both the top and bottom line, instantly creating a big sell-off of its high-flown stock, losing $19 billion in market cap, before it was halted at the company's request at $687.30, down roughly 70 bucks or 9%.
It was not clear what was going on and whether the company actually intended an early release since it's unusual for a company like Google to post its numbers during the trading day. The release also looks like a draft with a placeholder for a quote from Larry Page.
A half and hour or so after the crisis broke Google came out and blamed RR Donnelly, its filing agent, for sending its 8K to the SEC without authorization. Such an event is practically unheard of.
It said it would hold its scheduled conference call at 4:30 New York time. Unfortunately Google never gives guidance.
At around 2:30 Donnelly said it was trying to figure out what happened.
The stock was still halted an hour or so later with promises it would reopen before the market closed. Because of the halo effect, Facebook dropped in unison with Google out fear for mobile advertising.
Anyway, it still appears Google earned $9.03 versus expectations of $10.65 or $6.53 versus $8.33 on sales of $11.33 billion ex tac versus expectations of $11.86 billion.
Profits were down 20%; ad pricing dove while costs rose 71%. The average cost per click fell 15% year-over-year or 3% sequentially. Consumer clicks on Google ads were up 33%. Paid clicks were up 6% sequentially.
Motorola Mobility, which Google bought for $12.5 billion and has only folded in now, brought in $2.58 billion in revenue, including $1.78 billion from the mobile segment and $797 million from the home segment. Its operating loss was $527 million. Not a happy picture.
Google means to cut Motorola's workforce by 20%.
Page, who disappeared for a while because of some unexplained throat problems, reappeared the other day sounding quite hoarse and he didn't sound strong on the conference call. As a matter of fact, he sounded weak as a kitten pausing between breathes, speaking slowly and hesitating. He apologized for the day's mayhem.
CNBC said Google has been calling around to prepare analysts for the bad news, which involves its core business, mobile, emerging markets and of course Motorola Mobility. It also involves the cost of the Nexus. Google says it activates more than 1.3 million new Android devices every month.
At 14-years-old, Google cleared its first $14 billion revenue quarter.
Google shares were back to $700 after-hours, still down 36 bucks.

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Building actually breathes - immediately flagging overheating in a closet or over cooling in unoccupied ho...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears. In fact by having standard APIs for IaaS would help PaaS expl...

Organizations already struggle with the simple collection of data resulting from the proliferation of IoT, lacking the right infrastructure to manage it. They can't only rely on the cloud to collect and utilize this data because many applications still require dedicated infrastructure for security, redundancy, performance, etc. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Emil Sayegh, CEO of Codero Hosting, will discuss how in order to resolve the inherent issues, companies need to combine dedicated and cloud solutions through hybrid hosting – a sustainable solution for the data required to manage I...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

As enterprises capture more and more data of all types – structured, semi-structured, and unstructured – data discovery requirements for business intelligence (BI), Big Data, and predictive analytics initiatives grow more complex. A company's ability to become data-driven and compete on analytics depends on the speed with which it can provision their analytics applications with all relevant information. The task of finding data has traditionally resided with IT, but now organizations increasingly turn towards data source discovery tools to find the right data, in context, for business users, d...

text: These look to be the LORR series of Kodak Flexicolor chemicals. This is what Photographer's Formulary uses to make small 1 liter kits. It works great but requires a developer starter and is sold in different quantities than the SM. I didn't get it because they weren't offering the 5 gallon bleach at the time. It does look cheaper, so I may replace what I use as I use up my stock of SM.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 350 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by VISION1 Time Warp The decor is dated, and the furnishings really show their age and wear. The room smelled musty, was not as clean as expected for Westin. Room service food was subpar---warm food was cold, some very undercooked, sides not as requested. Pool out of service during the height of summer...really? September 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DavefromBoston Great Stay Great location - "every" employee was happy and friendly, clean & comfortable room, breakfast fast and good ... have stayed in many Dallas area hotels over the years ... The Westin DFW was an excellent value! I will be back. August 31, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jeff99 Where has the Westin gone I have always enjoyed my stays at Westin hotels but this time I thought I was at one of those $20.00 a night places! The best part of the visit was the parking lot and I got charged extra for that too! Where do I start. I was there for a event but didn't get the event rate! The room was extremely small, the honor bar was not working. I reserved the room for three but got 2 towels. Who ever designed the bathroom needs to go back to design school. The people that put the design in to practice should be forced to spend the night in that room ( 817) the shower head wasn't installed per the use directions posted on the wall. If you wanted to us the main shower head you had to stand with your back up against the wall with the handicap bar in your back. Do you need to use toilet paper, you had better not in this room unless you have a neck like a owl and can spin on the toilet; right hand people can forget it unless you have a second elbow! The Breakfast bar was not bad if you could overlook the floor being so sticky your feet couldn't move freely and your shoes carried the gooey mess away with you. The restaurant food was the worst and due to the location there is no other choices. The pool was shut down early at night because of a storm but no one bothered to open it up the next day till complaints came in! The best part of the stay was the express checkout! August 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by WillieWonkaIP A good hotel for travel via DFW airport The Westin DFW is a good choice for traveling via the DFW airport. The shuttle service is outstanding and the room was clean and comfortable. August 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ra52 Love this place My favorite Hotel in the DFW area. Have stayed there many times. Only gets better every time I return. August 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maggie29 Luxury hotel great for conventions! I stayed here for the 3rd time for the Texas Clown Convention - once in 2001, then in 2011 and 2012. The hotel just keeps getting better! Your staff could not be more accommodating. The rooms were all clean and beautiful. The food in the restaurant was delicious and well presented. The staff was able to quickly and efficiently set up rooms for us. We are so happy we stayed at the DFW Westin! August 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ra52 My home away from home Stayed here many times over the last 2 years. Love this place. Staff is wonderful. Rooms are excellent and so relaxing. August 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by uneek Great Stay!!! All the staff made us feel well cared for. Misty helped me several times by answering my questions with a smile. Thanks for a lovely time. August 8, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by hamil Good rooms but poor management I felt the management did a very poor job of assigning rooms. I was on the 14th floor with the TCA Clowns group. We had a Hospitality suite which was to be used as a hospitility room. There were complaints that our group was to loud. It the hotel had placed our people on the end of the hall with the suite then there would not been any complaints of being loud. I was located two rooms down from the suite and could not hear the loud noise from the suite but our group had complaints each night. Also we were not drinking Alchol so that was not an issue. So we had a bad experience because of possibly on person and poor management of assigning the room to someone other than our group. We were all over the floor and multiple floors which would have been better if suit at end and separated from residents near suite. Also I feel the hotel was wrong in giving the complainer the Name and email of the Organization President which he sent a email complaining about how bad our organization was and etc. The hotel was at much at fault as we might have been because we were having a good time in the suite. August 8, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Allen097987 Disappointing The room was noisy even though I specifically ask for a quiet room. No shampoo and conditioner. Just not what I have expected for Westin. August 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Swimmerk I love this hotel! The staff here is absolutely fantastic. The first time I stayed here was when I was unexpectedly stranded in DFW due to some weather and needed a place to stay. The staff was so courteous and the hotel was so nice that I opted to stay here again a year later when I found myself in Dallas for a wedding. Not only were they JUST as nice again, I was pleasantly surprised to find a card in my room welcoming me back and thanking me for choosing them again. I don't get treated this well at the hotel I spend 15 weeks per year at! I will definitely stay at this hotel next time I find myself in Texas again and cannot wait to return. July 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SteadyAT A short but comfortable stay I had an early morning flight, so moved from another Dallas hotel to this one after returning my rental car in the evening. The Shuttle bus driver was very friendly, and offered all passengers a "clear beer" (cold bottled water!) from his cooler. He made everyone feel welcome. There was a huge traffic jam leaving the airport and the toll booths, due to highway construction, but somehow, and miraculously, he found a way to manoeuvre the shuttle through as quickly as possible. Check-in, however, was slow. Our Shuttle bus was fairly full, and there was only one clerck at the front desk. And there was already a line up. So we waited. On our shuttle were some flight crew, and they were taken care of by the Bell / Concierge desk, but the rest of us had to wait to get checked-in. The room was fine; I was literally there to sleep. Then I caught an early shuttle to the airport! July 19, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kton452 Worst Starwood Experience to date, I have stayed at many starwood properties and they have always been my favorite hotels to stay in terms of comfort and service. This hotel was the opposite of such for the following reasons: 1. I had to find someone to check me in because no one was at the front desk for over 30 min, 2. They lost one of my bags three hours before an international flight and made little to no effort to resolve the issue. 3. Manager placed blame on me for the lost bag although the bellmen was in charge of the bags during my check in. 4.The room had cheap motel florescent lamps throughout as the only light source. 5. Restrooms were gross and the bed (although comfortable) made us both itch all night. 6. Took over an hour for the shuttle to pick us up from airport after a long international flight (they were aware of our arrival time) and the list goes on... July 16, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by CARO2 EXPECTED MORE FROMA 4 STAR RATED HOTEL ROOMS VERY SMALL - BEDS VERY COMFORTABLE - SHUTTLE SERVICE GOOD - ONE TOWEL IN BATHROOM HAD DIRTY STREAK ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF IT. OTHER ONE HAD 2 HOLES IN IT. OVERALL A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. July 4, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by BHBHBH Fine but Overall a good hotel in good shape and convenient location to DFW. My room had some issues. Shower didn't work. Outlet at desk would not hold the computer plug, kept falling out. July 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spoerlx3 AMAZING HOTEL, confused about the parking rate ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! As far as the hotel---it is extroidenary. We loved every moment we were there and when they found out that it was our honeymoon, they pampered us even more. We would definitely stay here again. The beds are heavenly! The staff is outstanding and the amminaties are great. Loved everything about it except the parking rate. When we made the reservation we were told the parking rate per night was $8.00. It was our honeymoon, we arrived at 10:30pm and my parents were picking up our car the next day. They picked up our car at 10am (less than 12 hours later) and they were charged $14.00???? June 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SD94 Price of Box Lunch was outragous! Stayed three nights recently for a company convention. The meeting rooms were the correct size for the group and were just fine. The one dinner we had was good and had large portions. I would consider the price only a little high at $50.00. (which included 18% tip and service charge.) However, our group is still talking about our $30.00 box lunch. This included choice of sandwich (I had a turkey roll up.), small potato salad, small cole slaw, a cookie, and a drink. The equivalent (or even better) at a chain sub shop would be under $8.00. (Bringing outside food was not allowed.) I understand hotel mark-ups, but there should be a value associated with the price. A box lunch should not be $30.00. I would stay at this hotel for their rooms and service, but would not recommend reserving meeting rooms if you require food on site. June 18, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by lanco poor experience awful experience. first night, send another one of my check in party to my room at 3am. Scared the heck out of both of us. Sleep over for that night. Next day,absolutely zero room cleaning. arrived back in hotel from work, client dinner at 10pm to find room totally unserviced. A few points were given for the inconvenience but this Westin is broke. June 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dusty Park and Ride service The accommodations were excellent and the service great. However, we thought the reservation we made included 7 days parking at the hotel in the price of the reservation quoted on line. However, when we returned from our trip, we were charged an additional $28.00 for parking. Can you explain the discrepancy? June 9, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Smity1977 DISAPPOINTING STAYED AT THIS HOTEL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WHEN IN DALLAS FOR BUSINESS AND PLAY, BUT THIS WAS MY MOST DISAPPOINTING STAY. CHECKED IN MY ROOM ON A FRIDAY, KEPT FINDING HAIRS (NOT MY OWN) THROUGHOUT THE ROOM, EVEN IN MY BED. CALLED DOWN TO THE CONCEIRGE SATURDAY MORNING TO MAKE MNGT AWARE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FIXED DURING THAT DAYS HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE. LEFT FOR THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON AND RETURNED TO THE ROOM SAT. EVENING, AND THE SAME HAIRS WERE THROUGHOUT THE ROOM AND THE BED. LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ROOM WAS MINIMALLY CLEANED. I CERTAINLY EXPECT MORE AS A PLATINUM MEMBER BUT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. I WILL THINK ABOUT A DIFFERENT PROPERTY NEXT TIME IN DFW. May 23, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Curbs EXCELLENT STAFF There was a problem with the airport shuttle and I waited for over an hour. I was in constant communication with the staff, and finally they told me to take a Taxi and they'd cover the fare. On arrival thy were sincerely apologetic, upgraded my room, and compensated me for my dinner. (Which was EXCELLENT) This team really knows how to turn a bad situation into a great one. If not for them, this would've been a completely different review, but because of them, I'll be sure to book here every time I'm in the Dallas area. Thank you for your great customer service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jan58 Exceptional staff! This is a model Starwood property! My husband and I had the pleasure of being check in by Christine; she greeted us as if we were returning home. Our room was wonderful, breakfast was outstanding, and transportation to and from the airport was timely. I have stayed in many Starwood properties; however, this one always exceeds my expectations.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Queen Love Weekend I love this hotel. My boyfriend and I wanted a weekend get-a-way for Valentine and this was great. The only problem was we picked early check in and late check out and around checkout time the maids cleaning the rooms would let the doors slam! other than this we had a good time. February 28, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Fischgreg Noisy sleepless nights I stayed on the 4th floor. I coule hear every vehicle that went by in the parking lot outside. I could hear everyone in the hallway, even when they were not being loud. Because the 4th floor has an open balcony to the lobby, I could actually hear people in the lobby. Finally, each morning, there was a loud vibrating noise that woke me up. I'm assuming it was some water pipes. Very frustrated and tired. Overall, the hotel was nice, clean and the staff was friendly. If it was not for the noise, my experience and rating would be better. February 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by thomas600 My Favorite Westin This Westin consistently recognizes my Platinum status and upgrades my room. I love the professionalism of the hotel staff and their efficiency checking me in and out. They rooms are always super clean and nice and the internet works great. I try to stay at this hotel as often as possible. February 10, 2012

Most people have probably heard that Wednesday is hump day. Some people have probably used the phrase themselves.
So, why is Wednesday called "Hump Day"?
The answer is almost obvious. According to the Urban Dictionary, "Hump Day is the middle of a workweek. It is called "Hump Day" in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week."
Wednesday, the day in the middle of the week, implies that you have to get "over the hump" before you can anticipate the weekend.
Wednesday is in the middle of the common Western 5-day workweek that starts on Monday and ends on Friday. Also, when Sunday is taken as the first of every week, Wednesday is the day in the middle.
Some people say Wednesday is the absolute best day of the week. They say it is the day of maximum hope because they have made it through two days of the workweek and have only two more days to work before they have a two-day break.
Hump day symbolizes the height or the peak of the workweek. You have climbed the hill and made it to the hump (or the top). After Wednesday the workweek is supposed to be easier because everything is down hill from that point on.
