furious delirium
Your music sucks, why do you play it so loud?

In the midst of everything else, a humble narrator has to worry about getting the laundry done, which is not always as easy a proposition as it sounds like. More often than not, indecision about the logical process by which one arrives at some sort of conclusion about whether a soiled garment should be considered for the "colors" or "darks" bags reduces one to gibbering madness. Crouched in the corner of the room, wild eyed and slaked with cold perspiration, I often find myself impaled on the horns of dilemma. That navy blue shirt… where does it belong? Does it belong? Where do any of us belong? This is why I largely dress in black.
All 'effed up, me.

Dire portent abounds. A general tension is palpable, and even the normally laconic army of bicycle delivery guys seem tense, here amongst the raven tressed hillocks of Western Queens. As one sorts his socks and towels, preparing them for drop off at the local laundry shepherd, a distinct sensation of dread permeates the atmosphere hereabouts. Even my little dog Zuzu seems to sense approaching calamity, as she drums her claws across the worn floorboards. At least the humidity seems to have broken.
I fear the polar vortex itself might return, carrying with it certain things which Esquimaux legend only hints at, and am quite unsure if I should send certain articles of Our Lady of the Pentacle's wardrobe to the laundromat or segregate them out for dry cleaning.

Were this the 21st century that a humble narrator was promised, when still an innocent moppet – the one which had jet packs and moving sidewalks and flying cars – we'd all be dressed in self cleaning space age fabrics which would obviate little need for the services of the laundry shepherds. These were supposed to be "onesies," or speed suits as Dr. Venture would refer to them, whose coloration would be indicative of social rank. Unfortunately, the world we've got is neither "Brave" nor "New."
Oh no… what do you do with a sock that has red, white, and black stripes? Oh dear lord… the horror of it all…

1854, lords and ladies, 1854.

Kerosene was "invented" by a Canadian named Abraham Gesner. He received the patents for the stuff, and coined the name (like a lot of 19th century industrial product names, we use the trademarked nomen as the descriptor for the entire category. It's the same shorthand we use for facial tissue as being "Kleenex" or photocopying as "Xerox") for a distillation of coal oil. Gesner was looking for a way to get an angle on the lamp oil trade. In 1854, lamp oil was produced from animals, in particular from fish and especially whales. When the time came to set up shop and build a factory to produce his coal oil, it was along the Newtown Creek that Abraham Gesner built the first large scale Kerosene works in North America – in what we call Queens.
from wikipedia
Gesner's research in minerals resulted in his 1846 development of a process to refine a liquid fuel from coal, bitumen and oil shale. His new discovery, which he named kerosene, burned more cleanly and was less expensive than competing products, such as whale oil. In 1850, Gesner created the Kerosene Gaslight Company and began installing lighting in the streets in Halifax and other cities. By 1854, he had expanded to the United States where he created the North American Kerosene Gas Light Company at Long Island, New York. Demand grew to where his company's capacity to produce became a problem, but the discovery of petroleum, from which kerosene could be more easily produced, solved the supply problem.
Abraham Gesner continued his research on fuels and wrote a number of scientific studies concerning the industry including an 1861 publication titled, "A Practical Treatise on Coal, Petroleum and Other Distilled Oils," which became a standard reference in the field. Eventually, Gesner's company was absorbed into the petroleum monopoly, Standard Oil and he returned to Halifax, where he was appointed a Professor of Natural History at Dalhousie University.
This was Gesner, who kind of looked a bit like General Zod in my opinion.

The North American Kerosene Gas Light Company, later the New York Kerosene Company, would eventually be acquired by Charles Pratt and folded into his growing Astral Oil empire (Pratt's own Kerosene refinery was centered at Bushwick Inlet at the border of Greenpoint and Williamsburg) and would became a part of Standard Oil when Pratt joined forces with John D Rockefeller. The Gesner works are often mentioned by environmental officials, but no one ever gets specific about where they were. You'd think the first large scale petroleum refinery in the United States would have left behind a plaque or something, but welcome to Queens.

A bit of work has gone into screwing down the exact location of the facility around Newtown Pentacle HQ in recent days, and I can tell you that the footprint of the North American Kerosene Gaslight Company was incorporated into what we now refer to as Pratt's Queens County Oil Works – which is in Blissville and across the street from Calvary Cemetery. Equidistant from the Greenpoint Avenue and long demolished Penny Bridges, this is the site of the Blissville Seep, which I've been rattling on about for a few years now.
from a December 2011 posting at this, your newtown pentacle
Sadly, oil is seeping out of a bulkhead on the Queens side of the Newtown Creek.
Famously, the Greenpoint Oil Spill (click here for a link to newtowncreekalliance.org for more) occurred just across the water from this spot, but every indication points to this as being a separate event. The former site of Charles Pratt's Queens County Oil Works, which was an approximately 18 acre parcel which would later be called the "Standard Oil Blissville works", the sites occupation in modernity has little or nothing to do with petroleum.

hellish ooze
Paranoids and conspiracists rejoice at the Newtown Creek.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Those who have had the scales cast off from before their eyes, when they're not telling you that the Queen of England is a star born reptile or that the moon landings were faked, will inform petitioners about the Rockefellers. The family is reported to be illuminati, in cahoots with the Bilderbergers, agents of Lucifer itself, and or working with space aliens to reduce 99% of humanity down to the status of a herd animal. Your humble narrator is a paranoid, but ain't that far gone yet. I do give them credit for a lot of what's wrong on my beloved Newtown Creek, however.

Just mentioning the name of the sire, John D Rockefeller, in connection with his Standard Oil company (which by 1892 had a stranglehold on oil refining around the Creek and owned 95% of the petroleum industry by 1911), has caused several well meaning folks to pull me to the side and ask that I not mention his name for fear of repurcussions. It seems that the grand kids and great grandchildren of the old man are funders of and heavily involved in water based non profits, and they worry about me rocking the boat, donations wise. Greater good, I'm told.
Still, its John D's legacy that's oozing out of the bulkheads on Newtown Creek to this very day.

Thing is, unlike most involved in the "environmental" scene, I'm decidedly not anti-business and I am certainly not some vegan muffin eating virgin who thinks that oil companies are necessarily evil. The fact is, you can't blame a drug dealer for selling their wares to an addicted clientele, and you also can't point your accusing finger at an oil company if you're thrusting an arm out of an automobile window to do so.
I will concede, however, that since the Rockefellers and Pratts originally marketed their kerosene businesses as selling "illuminating oil," that they might accurately be described as illuminati. The jury is out on the Queen of England and her House of Saxe Coburg being lizards, although it would explain a lot of things.

Now & Then on Newtown Creek.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
The shot above depicts the scene on Newtown Creek, as witnessed from the site of the Brooklyn side landing of the long dismantled Meeker Avenue or Penny Bridge, as it appeared in March of 2014. This is the very edge of the borough, where Meeker ends its long northward trek across the infinity of Brooklyn at Newtown Creek. Its kind of a forgotten spot, with Blissville in Queens occupying most of the image.
- photo by Percy Loomis Sperr
This shot, found in the collections of the New York Public Library, depicts the same scene back in 1939 from nearly the same spot. The well ensconced oil industry is quite active, as evinced by the abundance of chimneys. Notice that you can't see Manhattan's skyline in this one. Could be weather, or the choices made by the photographer, Percy Loomis Sperr. It's probably because of the pall of smoke, smog, and industrial emissions in which Newtown Creek was famously cloaked during its heyday.

frantically begging
Those cool firemen from Williamsburg, spotted in Blissville, Queens.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
A humble narrator does like hisself a fire truck – and having never surrendered the childhood desire to run along the sidewalk screaming "firemen, firemen" when a fire truck goes by – when a Brooklyn based unit comes screaming out of a fire house in Blissville – it catches my eye. For some reason, 108 came out of the Ladder 128 house on Greenpoint Avenue – obviously on a call. My confusion is based on the fact that one normally expects Ladder 108 to deploy via Union Avenue in Brooklyn.
from nyfd.com
History: Ladder 108 Ladder Co. 108, now quartered at 187 Union Ave., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, began life as Hook & Ladder Co. 8 in the old City of Brooklyn Fire Department at 112 Siegel Street near Graham Avenue on November 30, 1887. During this time, to be distinctive, the Brooklyn Fire Department used two-tone green on their apparatus, while F.D.N.Y. apparatus was red. Green continued to be used until consolidation of the five bouroughs in 1898. On January 1, 1898, Ladder Company became part of the Fire Department of the City of New York. It was renumbered as Ladder Company 58 on October 1, 1899. It was not until January 1, 1913, that Ladder 58 was renumbered as Ladder Company 108. In the 110 years of Ladder 108's existence, two members lost their lives in the line of duty. A fire in Queens on March 2, 1905, took the life of Lt. George McGeary and 27 years later on May 2, 1932, Firefighter Joseph LaGrange was killed when Ladder 108 and Engine 213 collided responding to a false alarm and Firefighter LaGrange was thrown to the street. Ladder 108's tenure at 112 Siegel Street lasted 84 years and on August 9, 1971, 108 truck moved to a new firehouse at 187 Union Avenue and is still quartered there.

Of course, the ways and means and mores common to those "firemen, firemen" are many and complex, so no profit can be realized by analyzing their methods. Luckily, one had the opportunity to crack out a few shots of the hurtling ladder truck as it sped along past the walls of Calvary.
from wikipedia
FDNY Ladder Companies (also known as Truck Companies) are tasked with search and rescue, forcible entry, and ventilation at the scene of a fire. A Ladder Company can operate three types of Ladder Trucks: an Aerial Ladder Truck, equipped with a 100′ aerial ladder mounted at the rear of the apparatus; a Tower Ladder Truck, equipped with either a 75′ or 95′ telescoping boom and bucket mounted in the center of the apparatus; a Tractor Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck, or Tiller/Tractor Trailer, equipped with a 100′ aerial ladder. A Ladder Company carries various forcible entry, ventilation, and rescue tools to deal with an assortment of fires and emergencies, including motor vehicle accidents.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Can't help but wonder where Ladder 128 was, maybe they loaded the truck up and drove to Florida for a vacation or something. I like the idea of a whole crew just taking off for a few days, pulling into 711 parking lots along I-95 for toilet breaks and microwave burritos. The random appearance of NYC vehicles in other parts of the country – a taxi or a police car for instance – would be positively dada.
from dnainfo.com
Police officers inside the 90th Precinct were in just the right spot for such an emergency — someone from the station house simply ran next door to report the fire to Battalion 35 Engine 216 and Ladder 108. The firehouse shares a city building on a Williamsburg block with the NYPD.

Hi All!
On Monday at 8.00 p.m. sharp the latest Monday Night Challenge will take place.
What's a one Hour Challenge?
The one hour challenge is a fun competition to get your creative juices flowing and has been running since March 2004 following an idea introduced by 'Warb' and 'Syneasthesia.'
The idea is you are given a subject/theme/brief to shoot at 8.00 pm on Monday evening and you have 60 mins to complete the task and upload a photo. The theme is announced in the forums and in the gallery and photos are uploaded in the modifications area of the photo that is used to announce the challenge.
What are the rules of the challenge?
1. The photo must be taken, processed and upload before 9:00pm (one hour).
2. The challenge is started in the main gallery and the gallery description box states what the challenge is. You enter the challenge by uploading your picture as a 'modification' to the challenge announcement.
3. Any submission that appears to be taken before the competition started will be disqualified.
4. Any submission posted after the 'Time's Up!' image is uploaded will also be disqualified.
5. It's just for fun and a challange and details of any prizes will be announced along with the challenge.
6. The person who uploads the challenge is the judge for that week (that's me... only certain bribes will be accepted).
7. The first place winner gets to create, run, and judge the challenge next week.
8. As this uses the modifications feature, the winner needs to be an e2 member but if not, another member may step in and upload a challenge for you.
9. If the winner is on holiday the following week he/she can select another member to upload and take care of the challenge.
So... Here's this week's theme!
As usual, you'll have an hour to think up, shoot, produce and post an image that best represents the challenge theme for Monday night. And as a special preview, that theme is... (oops, edited for content).
So there it is. I hope you enjoy the theme! (C'mon you didn't think I really would, did you?)
Challenge Prizes!
Information regarding prizes will be posted Monday along with a reminder beforehand that the challenge will take place.
If anyone has a question, feel free to post it here in this forum. I'm sure someone will be able to help, and of course I'll do my best to answer a query.
Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you Monday night at 8.00 p.m.
Cheers all, Martin
(p.s. Just kidding about the bribes)
Regarding prizes for tomorrow... this is from last week's thread...
Thanks for the heads up on Helena's post Glynn.
The prizes will be the same options until Tricia returns from the sunshine; we plan to have other options then, potentially including some tripod heads, brolly/lampholders, brollies, other reflectors/diffusers, low-level stands, daylight (5400K) Compact fluorescent bulbs, tripod and lighting stand kit bags....suffice to say, there will be lots of options over the coming weeks and months.
Regards all.
Quote: So not only will the winner get a free month's E2 status, but prizes will be awarded to the top three winners as judged
I thought only the winner got a prize from photoskill? If this is not the case, can I still get one as second-place winner last week - coz I quite liked the grey target/reflector panel?
Sorry guys, but only first place gets the prize, so start brown nosing
dont worry about it emenk...or next time you will have to fork out for 2nd and 3rd prize

Underrated: "He Was An Ill Lyricist & I Don't Know Why [He] Never Really Caught On"
Tuesday, Jul 12, 2011 12:15AM
[Queens Gets The Money: This week, SOHH is celebrating the historic New York borough by featuring an entertainment personality naming a Queens rapper they feel is the most underrated. After $hamrock named Lil Wyte last week, Havoc crowns Royal Flush as SOHH Underrated.]
There's so many rappers and emcees that you could call SOHH Underrated. That title can be given to a range of people. But I would have to go with Royal Flush. I knew Royal Flush personally and his lyrics were just crazy.
He was an ill lyricist and I don't know why [he] never really caught on with the mainstream. I don't know. I couldn't even begin to think why not. It was just that his lyrical content was crazy. He was just dope. Flush had a couple of records and I definitely think he was one of the most underrated.
I had been in the studio with him a few times in the past and I got to see him do his thing. When it came to him doing music, he held it down. I always had a lot of respect for what Royal Flush did. But me getting a chance to see him in the studio was big. That added to the reason why I chose Flush as the artist I feel is the most underrated.
Havoc produces most of the tracks on every Mobb Deep album, and has produced songs for MCs such as Method Man, Eminem, Nas, Foxy Brown, Onyx, O.G.C., The Notorious B.I.G., Jadakiss, Styles P, Game, Diddy, LL Cool J, La The Darkman, Big Noyd,Termanology, Jimmy Mserembo, Capone-N-Noreaga, and his own partner Prodigy on his solo work.
Check out Royal Flush's music below:

Virginia state troopers are having a tough time filing reports and accessing their e-mails after a state computer failure last week. It's the latest problem for Virginia's troubled IT agency.
The outage started last Thursday morning and affects Virginia State Police email, calendars and online folders. Those folders contain templates for more than 100 reports troopers and investigators use on a regular basis.
The problem has hampered internal and external email traffic. A state police spokeswoman says although the outage has not affected troopers' ability to respond to emergencies, she says it has crippled online communication.
The state police computer system is maintained by the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) and by subcontractor Northrop Grumman. VITA says technicians have been working nonstop through the holiday weekend to try to resolve the issue.
At this point experts believe the outage was caused by a hardware failure. A VITA spokeswoman says that the state police servers are old and are not designed to handle the years and years of emails currently stored there. VITA is in the process of planning the best way to upgrade that equipment.
This outage is the latest in a long string of problems for the tech agency which has come under close and frequent scrutiny from state legislators. Last year, a massive failure affecting DMV computers disrupted driver's license operations for more than a week and caused major headaches at other state offices across the commonwealth.
A VITA spokeswoman tells us that technicians expect to have the hardware problem fixed and state police computers back to normal by Wednesday or Thursday.

My colleague suggested we lunch at Spice Merchant – I agreed to be convivial. What a wonderful surprise, the food was truly delicious – meatless monday for me so I had Okra – crisp and just the right level of spice, Dhal – smooth, well cooked and beautifully yellow and mixed vegetables in a dry curry which were fresh and crunchy in an aromatic paste. My colleagues had lamb shank which was served with the bone but had been carved and a lamb korma which they both pronounced excellent. NO MORE boring sandwiches for me at lunchtime in Beaconsfield!

Customer Testimonial
The tiles we put in were quite possibly the best improvement we've made to our store. The change in tiles was dramatic, and flat out amazing. I wish I had a before and after picture to show you the day and night difference. When people walk into the store now, the ceiling is the first thing they notice, where as before it was just the bland mineral fiber tiles that made the store filthy with dust. The tiles worked perfectly, even the ones I had to cut to fit in tight spots. And the fact that your guys' ceiling tiles were at least 50% less than any other tile replacement options was just another reason to be happy. The tiles are absolutely amazing. I was so impressed with your product and customer service that I'd recommend Ceilume tiles to anyone who would want to upgrade their dropped ceiling.

MTV is now developing a "Scream" series promising a weekly supply of horror irony/parody or something. The music network (if you can call it that any more) has been branching into original programming, scoring a hit most recently with adolescent (and pretty shitty) werewolf thing "Teen Wolf." And we'd guess they'll want to follow a similar template here, with hot young things wrapped up in some mild horror/drama. There's no word if Wes Craven or Kevin Williamson are involved, but undoubtedly, the Weinsteins must have their finger in here somewhere, considering they have the rights to the franchise.
Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley are the producers behind the project that for now you might as well just stack up the rest of the multitude of Movies Being Turned Into TV Shows. But man, 1996 feels so long ago.... [TVLine]

let me guess it's gonna be about a bunch of mindless teenagers that think they're tough because they watch movies all day getting killed one by one yet the main characters conveniently get stabbed in places that won't kill them. and this will be on mtv? so the killer is gonna be some chick crying about her boyfriend for attention? oh wait they did that already in a movie. don't even want to see what it would be like on a network that annoying teens all watch today. they should just let scream rest in peace until they do any further damage like with 3 and especially 4.

This is my first FanPost so when I inevitably butcher something, please be gentle.
To me he clearly had the speed, athleticism and baseball IQ to suggest he'd put it together, but everyone bashing his defense through the minors certainly had me a bit concerned about his long term future at second. Obviously, many have been pleasantly surprised with Ackley's defensive acuity for the M's thus far. I haven't read a single report that suggests he hasn't passed the proverbial eye test since his callup (although I'm sure there's one somewhere in the vast internet expanse). For what little it's worth, he's looked quite capable to me as well.
Defensive stats are pretty worthless with a ten game sample, but so are offensive stats and that doesn't stop anyone from noting his team leading OPS or second best OBP. So my curiousity got the best of me and I decided to take a look at his defensive numbers. Do the early returns confirm or deny what we're seeing with our eyes?
Well, with a ginormous SSS disclaimer, the results thus far are at least encouraging. According to Fangraphs, his UZR at this point is 2.0. His UZR/150: 35.7 (!). Obviously, I'm not ready to declare him Dustin Death To Bouncing Things Ackley, but the premature UZR seems to suggest that we could be looking at a legitimate defensive second baseman.
Personally, I don't see any reason to think Ackley can't develop into a +5 to +10 run gloveman at second. That might even be a tad conservative. He may not have traditional second base movements, but he certainly makes second base plays.
I know everyone's already excited about Ackley, but I think he might be more exciting than we even realize.
UPDATE: To those allergic to UZR, Defensive Runs Saved (DRS) has Ackley at 4 above average, which is higher than his UZR. Obviously, the numbers themselves are meaningless at this point, but all available signs seem to point in the same direction.

Ex Swindon Tigershark and Olympic hopeful gets kit off for Cosmopolitan
1:00pm Wednesday 11th May 2011 in News
A SWIMMING cap is all that covers Olympic hopeful Grant Turner's modesty in his naked Cosmopolitan photoshoot.
The 22-year-old former Swindon Tigershark, who took a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games last year, has whipped off his swimming trunks for the June issue of the women's magazine to raise awareness of male cancer for Everyman, the UK's leading male cancer campaign.
The heartthrob is pictured standing beside fellow Olympic hopefuls, Ross Davenport and James Goddard, and struck a number of poses while keeping his dignity under wraps for the centre spread in the June issue of the magazine.
"It was something I was quite interested in doing, but the fact that it was to raise awareness of British swimmers and testicular cancer made me want to do it even more," he said.
"Obviously the London Olympics aren't too far away and people are interested in the sports and athletes, and I was keen to help raise the profile of swimming."
Grant took a silver medal as part of the English 4x100m metre freestyle relay side at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and is one of the hopefuls for the 2012 Olympics.
"I can't have sex for two weeks before a big race to build up testosterone. But for women it's better if they have sex just before a race, so that's a bit unfortunate."- Grant Turner Olympic hopeful
He said he was excited about the shoot as it was different to anything he had done before.
"I was obviously a little bit apprehensive getting naked in a room full of people but it was fine.
"We were there for about five hours doing lots of different shots in the pool precinct, and in the pool," he said.
"I was completely naked – initially I thought I might be wearing tan-coloured underwear or something, but we were completely naked, just covering up with our hands."
During the interview with Cosmopolitan, Grant said: "My girlfriend's a swimmer too (Olympic medallist Joanne Jackson).
"I can't have sex for two weeks before a big race to build up testosterone. But for women it's better if they have sex just before a race, so that's a bit unfortunate."
This is the 10th year that Cosmopolitan has supported Everyman. Money is raised through dedicated phone and text lines encouraging readers to vote for their favourite Centrefold.
Tatjana Trposka, spokeswoman for Everyman, said: "We hope our brave celebrity centrefolds have helped spread the message that men should be just as aware.
"Knowing the symptoms and catching them early gives men the best chance of surviving testicular cancer, which is 99 per cent curable if caught early."
Singer Jason Derulo, Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou, and The Only Way Is Essex's Kirk Norcross are among the male celebrities who have stripped off for Cosmopolitan's annual 'Naked Centrefolds Special' which is on sale now.

Is it maybe too common of a wood? I never see anyone use walnut, and i have seen walnut that either rivals or surpasses the best koa i have ever seen. Also, walnut is a naturally stable wood, and with stabilization, it is IMO one of the best woods out there. I suppose i got curious about this when i started making my stropping boards. I am using walnut, and am amazed at the curl and tones in the woods.
This is a 4 foot board i am using for my strop(stolen form JohnnyChance's thread) and this i would consider a decent board.
Maybe i am just too curious...

Diner Reviews
The only point of Bliss is to be
near the theater. Its food is not good. The cooking is simply not skilled."
Dined on 8/11/2014
Our first time to Bliss was a
delight. Great location on Broad St with open seating on the sidewalk. The grilled octopus was superb. Our daughter chose the veal stuffed tortellini. ..delish! and my wife ordered the lamb porterhouse which was tender and perfectly seasoned. My Halibut and fennel was absolutely delicious. Solid choice of cocktails and excellent service made for a very enjoyable dining experience. We look forward to trying Bliss again!"
Dined on 8/7/2014
The evening stated over good. The
service was good but the menu was limited. I've been several times in the past and it was not up to my previous expectations. There were 3 of us and 1 of us chose to order from the prix fix menu 38 for 3 courses. 2 ordered off the standard menu. We chose the restaurant in order to use the Living Social Voucher. The manager refused to allow us to use voucher for 60 even though the total amount of food from the standard menu was well over 110. The server told us to come back another time. The voucher expires in 2 weeks. If I do it will be to use the voucher but I will never come back after that. We are not local and attended a show and chose this restaurant for afterwards. I can't say how disappointed I was."
Dined on 8/2/2014
This gem of a restaurant on Broad
St. Was pure class and style. The staff treated my wife and I beyond expectations. Then chef made a special app for us and the wait staff was friendly and knowledgable. They vibe and food is modern and full of great flavor. Had the best salmon ever. It was a memorable date with my wife. I highly recommend, it truly was bliss."
Dined on 8/2/2014
Had dinner here - seated outside -
before going to see "Book of Mormon". We had a friendly welcome from the owner, and were give choice of inside or outside seating. As it was a beautiful evening in Philly, sat outside. Had really well-mixed cocktails (vodka gimlet and old fashiond) and then a wonderful dinner, with three of us ordining off the prix fixe menu and one al a carte. All meals were superb. Best of all is we had Kevin for our server - funny, responsive, with great advice on food and wine. Will be back!"
Dined on 7/30/2014
I have walked past this restaurant
a million times but never tried it as it looked so small and unassuming. Boy were we amazed! It was a Friday night and everyone was out of town so there were no crowds in the city. We were seated at a prime table next to a wall of open, glass doors and felt like we were dining outdoors. The seats were fantastic especially with the great weather we were having that evening. The food was fabulous! We both ordered salmon from the prix fixe menu, which was reasonably priced. The salmon was moist and delish! The ginger ice cream was also surprisingly better than we expected. The service was great too! As we left the restaurant we were telling people on the sidewalk that they should eat there !!"
Dined on 7/25/2014
Service was great. Food nicely
presented but average in taste. Price too high for quality. Went for dinner on a week night. Doors to outside were open. The weather was perfect for a near outdoor dining experice. Overall, not a terrible experience but too high a price for the food."
Dined on 7/16/2014
We were the only ones there for
the second week in a row. Very limited menu and highly overpriced, for example, 32 for scallops ... C'mon. Waiter had awful body odor and hardly spoke English. Service staff went out out of their way to help make dinner nice, however and food we pretty good despite terribly small portions. We will not be going back. Very disappointing and I will be surprised if this place is even operating in a year."
Dined on 7/15/2014
Everything went well. Luv the
service especially the food most!!!!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
We recently had dinner at Bliss to
celebrate our daughter's birthday. We picked the restaurant primarily for location. She attends University of the Arts which is nearby. Bliss is also convenient to the Academy of Music and many of Philly's theaters. Parking was easy, right next door. We arrived early and went to the bar for a drink and appetizer. We wound up eating there as well. The bartender was fabulous. She was attentive and knowledgeable about their wines. We had a delicious flatbread and fabulous South African Savignon Blanc. Our entrees were also delicious. We had the trout, steak and short ribs. Each was cooked perfectly, the preparations were excellent and the portions were ample."
Dined on 7/9/2014
Nice place to spend your evening.
Food is really tasty. A little expensive, but food is extremely fresh and cooked perfectly. If you need to have a good meal, just entry will not be enough. You have to order appetizer, entry and dessert."
Dined on 7/3/2014
Great place to eat when the
conversation is important. Low noise level and great service."
Dined on 7/3/2014
I had heard a few good reviews of
Bliss and was anxious to take my out of town clients there for dinner. It was dismal, dimly lit, and the food was tasteless, especially for the price point. The restaurant was completely empty except for one other patron at the bar, surprising for a 7pm on a Tuesday, when reservations at nearby restaurants were unavailable. After eating our dinner, we understood why no one was there. It was extremely mediocre and we will never go the Bliss again. The only bright spot was our very sweet waiter."
Dined on 7/1/2014
We were very pleased with the
restaurant, the view and open air onto Broad Street, the server, and the food! Wonderful dinner!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
Although the food was delicious,
my wife's meal was stone cold upon arrival so she asked to have it reheated. It took so long, I was finished my meal by the time she received hers."
Dined on 6/28/2014
Bliss was once our favorite Philly
pre-show dining spot, but it had been a few years since we'd visited. Wow, what a difference a few years makes! It was a busy night, but that doesn't excuse the dry and flavorless dishes we were served. The new menu didn't seem terribly creative, either. It also took nearly an hour to be served our food (although to be fair, we were 15 minutes late for our reservation). Maybe if the menu improves, we'll give Bliss another shot someday, but I promise we will be dining elsewhere for the rest of the 2014 show season."
Dined on 6/28/2014
One of the most enjoyable dinner
experiences my husband and I have had in the city. First, it was about our waiter Kevin. He greeted us at the hostess stand and throughout the evening maintained that perfect balance of attentive, knowledgeable, personable and entertaining service. He was truly outstanding..... someone you'd love to break bread with. The food was all around surprisingly very good. A table looking out at the scene on Broad Street on a perfectly warm summer night made it perfect. We will be going back again and again....but only if we can have Kevin!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
Best Meal, Service and Cocktails
from start to finish! Penny, our server was terrific and the owner whom had pleasure of meeting was the most gracious host, welcoming and congenial. Cannot wait to go again...my daughter's birthday and she was thrilled afterwards."
Dined on 6/27/2014
Bliss is a great place to go for a
friendly atmosphere where the service is always friendly yet professional. The patrons are friendly at te bar so a perfect place to go alone. The menu is inventive . The food quality is fresh and well prepared. Best happy hour in the city."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Bliss has a nice but limited menu
and the food is quite good. The prices are high for a casual restaurant with little room to move and no décor."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Dining at Carmel was a very nice
overall experience. The staff was very warm and welcoming, the menu is robust with options for all, and the ambience is just right. Burger was excellent, lemon chicken was perfect, steak was spot on, and the lobster/shrimp risotto was very good with lots of seafood. We shared a chicken artichoke flatbread and it was excellent. I know it is a good place when my wife says, "I'd go back there.""
Dined on 6/20/2014
My husband and I went to Bliss for
a Saturday date night. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was fancy but solid and delicious. I would recommend to anyone wanting a downtown delight."
Dined on 6/14/2014
I eat at Bliss regularly,
particularly before a concert or play. The food is always well-prepared and subtley flavored, the service friendly and helpful, and the ambiance bright and conducive to conversation. We often just grab a seat at the bar if we're in a bit of a hurry or want some light fare, and that's also a pleasurable experience. Never had a bad experience here, and while my wife and I aren't "regulars", we're treated that way. We always feel good, even "blissful", after a meal here."
Dined on 6/12/2014
Very friendly. Nice ambience.
VERY slow service and kitchen. VERY disorganized service. Waitress got several parts of our order wrong after all that waiting. Was very nice and sweet, but did an inefficient job. Food was good."
Dined on 6/5/2014
We were extremely happy with our
dining experience at Bliss. A great location for before or after a show! The cauliflower soup was delicious as was the Trout dish. We really appreciated their personal attention towards my daughter on her birthday, would highly recommend!"
Dined on 6/5/2014
The dining public seems to have
forgotten Bliss, and it's a shame. The food was great, service perfect, and it is an all around perfect alternative to the current "hot" restaurants."
Dined on 5/22/2014
Friendly restaurant with a diverse
menu that can accommodate diverse preferences of a small group of diners. The staff tries hard it is just nice to be in a smaller restaurant where people care."
Dined on 5/19/2014
My brother and I decided to take
my mother for brunch somewhere we have never been this Mothers day. I had walked past bliss a few times and saw online it had good reviews. I was pretty disappointed by the food. It was not what we expected at all. Our server was very nice but not that great of a server. The ambience was not a problem. I was more disappointed byt the quality and service of food. The presentation also was nnot appealing. I am not one to complain but I honestly feel that it should be known. We paid 140$ for our meal and we were not pleased at all, especially in comparison to other restaurants in the area."
Dined on 5/11/2014
We go to Bliss in bad weather,
because it is two blocks from the Kimmel Center. The food has been fine for me in the several times we've been there, and Saturday's scallops preceded by octopus were both quite tasty. My partner was not enthusiastic about his halibut dish, and in fact said to me over dinner tonight at Gotham Bar & Grill in NYC, "Let's not go there ever again." I can't explain this, am just noting it. We're not usually this far apart on a restaurant. When a thunderstorm threatens, though, we will probably return, rather than do, e.g., a 7 LONG-block walk to Brauhaus Schmitz, our original destination on Saturday (and a restaurant new to us) before the unsettled weather occurred. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
We like Bliss for dining before
the Orchestra or theater. Our last two dinners here have been particularly good, and their service is keyed to making sure people make curtain times. Prices are a tad high, but you expect to pay for the location, and when the food is so good, it becomes less of an issue. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
The pics looked like a nice
romantic place so I bought the groupon for my boyfriend's birthday. I made reservations for 8:30, I requested a both and wanted a little something to come out when we order dessert. They were very accommodating. When we got there it only a few people at the bar, very quite which I didn't mind to much since it was a Thursday night. The service was great, the food was just ok for me. I need a little more action in my food, it was to bland. It wasn''t a big deal to me since I had a groupon. "
Dined on 5/8/2014
While I was disappointed to see
some of my faves no longer on the menu, the new offerings are delcious. "
Dined on 5/8/2014
I have been to Bliss a couple
times now in the last few months...food consistently good...noise level good... cant wait to frequent again.... not trendy and loud ...good for any occasion"
Dined on 5/3/2014
The best scallops I've ever had.
Everyone in our group loved their food. The waitstaff are friendly and prompt. It gets busy with the pre-orchestra crowd, being right next to the Academy of Music and Kimmel Center. This is the third time I've been to Bliss, and will definitely go back as soon as we can. I tell everyone that Bliss has some of the best dinners in Philly."
Dined on 5/3/2014
As a fairly regular diner at
Bliss, my visits have never gone wrong. Pacing always goes as agreed upon, food is a pleasure and bar staff know exactly what "dry" means. Keep up the good work!"
Dined on 4/26/2014
Went here to celebrate a birthday
and used a groupon we had gotten. Place is definetly on the pricey side, so it was good to have that buffer. We each got a glass of wine, which was good, but not outstanding. We had the cheese plate as an appetizer. It was good, but a little skimpy. For dinner I got the hanger steak which was pretty much the most delicious thing I'd had in awhile! We also got the boneless shortribs, scallops, and rigatoni. Everyone thought their food was great with exception to the pasta being a little undercooked. We shared the creme brûlée for desert, which was a little disappointing since I'm a big fan of a think sugar crust on mine, and theirs was skimpy. Our server was Sarah and she was delightful!! Overall great time!"
Dined on 4/25/2014
What a wonderful lunch on our
anniversary. Kevin was phenomenal for our server. What energy! The food was just what we wanted. We saw what the next table had and changed one order though as the hamburger and crab cake sandwiches were much bigger than we would have wanted. I will definitely go back sometime when I am in the city. It will also be a good pre-theater dining experience."
Dined on 4/25/2014
Eight of us went for a pre-concert
lunch before going to the Philadelphia Symphony matinee concert. The waiter knew our schedule and went above and beyond in every way possible. Seven of us ordered the three course fixed price lunch which served salmon as one entree choice and it was outstanding. Whether we ordered soup or salad as our first course it did not matter. Both were positively received. And sorbet or gelato for dessert is a wonderful offering. The flavor choices are mind-boggling and it is such a refreshing way to end the meal. We got back to Kimmel Center just in time 1 and 1/2 hours after we entered Bliss. The waiter readily agreed to separate checks and we stuck to our bargain of adding at least a 20% tip for him. "
Dined on 4/25/2014
We had a very nice experience for
dinner before the theater. We were caught in traffic and 1/2 hour late - we called to alert them and it was no problem. Noise level was refreshingly nice and low. Restaurant was about half full from 6:30 to 7:30 that night. Outstanding service and quite good food and value. Very convenient location on South Broad near the theaters and the Kimmel"

Food was of very good quality and

Cedar Falls offensive lineman Ross Pierschbacher has changed his mind and will attend the University of Alabama. Pierschbacher originally committed to Iowa and was considered the jewel of the Hawkeyes 2014 class.
The Tiger senior is considered one of the top lineman in the country.
Pierschbacher announced his decision in an e-mail sent to the website Hawkeyereport.com. In the e-mail he said, "I
would like to thank Coach [Kirk] Ferentz, his coaching staff, and the
University of Iowa for the offer to be part of Hawkeye Football. They
have a great tradition, outstanding people and a top notch program.
considering many different options and things important to me, my
family, and my future career, I am excited to announce that I have
decided to play my collegiate career for Coach Saban and The University
of Alabama.
"This has been a very humbling experience and I would like to thank everyone that has helped me along the way."
After Pierschbacher's de-commitment, the Hawkeyes still have 11 players set to sign for the class of 2014.

Injured Pipe set to miss Rovers' return
9:00am Monday 31st December 2012 in Newport County By Michael Pearlman
NEWPORT County look set to be without skipper David Pipe for tomorrow's return showdown with Forest Green Rovers.
The ex-Wales cap limped out of the game at The New Lawn on Boxing Day late in proceedings and the Argus understands he has suffered a hamstring strain.
Though it's unlikely to keep the former Bristol Rovers man out for any length of time, Pipe is also a doubt for Friday night's televised clash at Rodney Parade with Welsh rivals Wrexham.
The North Walians missed the chance to leapfrog Newport on Saturday after being held to a 2-2 draw by Tamworth at the Racecourse.
The Exiles have no new injury problems ahead of tomorrow's reverse at Rodney Parade with striker Danny Crow closing in on a first-team return.
The ex-Luton striker has been out for the best part of ten weeks since initially straining a hamstring against Ebbsfleet on October 9.
He briefly returned to the side but aggravated the injury in training and hasn't featured since the beginning of November, but could play a part this week.
County are chasing back-to-back victories Forest Green after their 2-1 Boxing Day triumph, their first appearance on the traditional day in the British football calendar since 2008.
The game was transformed by goals from substitutes Ben Swallow and Ryan Charles and both are now pushing for a start as Newport look to fill the void left by departed loanee Christian Jolley.
The cause is helped by the return of left back Andy Sandell, who missed the New Lawn visit after collecting five yellow cards.
Therefore Exiles boss Justin Edinburgh must again find an equation where six fits into four with Sandell and Byron Anthony both looking for a starting spot in the Newport defence.
Meanwhile, County boss Edinburgh has also met the Exiles directors about potential January transfer activity.
County had hoped to seal a deal to sign the impressive Jolley from AFC Wimbledon but couldn't agree a fee with the Dons for a player out of contract in June.
"Justin wanted Jolley and we wanted to support him, but Justin decides what is a realistic fee and he didn't think it right to go over what we thought was a fair bid," director Howard Greenhaf explained.
"We have already met with Justin to discuss January and he's mentioned a couple of names but it's not easy to sign players even though we will support him.
"People are associating us with Les (Scadding, chairman) obviously and his (Euro Millions) money, but we are not going to spend for the sake of it.
"Justin has been in a situation at Rushden and Diamonds where he's been interfered with in terms of his management and where money has been spent that didn't exist.
"We won't do that and most of all we completely trust our manager and (director of football) Tim Harris in both identifying the right players and valuing them. So we will approach everything with an open mind. We certainly want to push on and try to get promoted."

COUNTYVOICE says...
raining at the moment folks and more predicted, odds are county game could be another victim to the weather
hope not as its a sure fire three or one point.
as regards tinkering with the side, dont think much needs to be done really, confidence is back which is like the 12 man.
the only area where there is a big hole is upfront . can crowe get back in time? was charles's goal a one hit wonder? is washington ready to take on the responsibility? will smith be around after the 7th jan? can o connor cope with the responsibility of being the sole main scorer?
so many questions and more gripping than an episode of eastenders (yawn).
lets watch the events of the january transfer window unfold..............
