Historical Traveler Reviews InterContinental Chicago
We booked this for our family of 5 May 23-25. Hardly a room to be found in Chicago due to very large convention. We got this room on Priceline for $119. Upon arrival at hotel, check in was quick, free upgrade to historic tower 19th floor, view of Magnificent Mile... Beautiful hotel. Very clean. Great bell captains. Have been to Chicago 3 times and this was definitely the best location. Have also stayed at Hyatt Regency on Wacker and Wyndham, this was as nice or nicer than both.
Pleasantly Surprised
I booked a room for my husband and myself the week before on Priceline for this past Saturday night. I had read some of the not-so-good reviews on this site and was a little wary. We arrived right at check-in and even though there was a line due to a convention in town, our wait was less than 10 minutes. We got our choice of a higher or lower floor and our room was clean, spacious for downtown Chicago, and well appointed. I highly recommend this hotel in the heart of Chicago!!!
Avoid this hotel!
Stayed here for two nights, this easter weekend. We had booked an upgraded "historic tower" room and paid $159 a night. What a mistake that was. The room was a non-smoking room and smelled of stale smoke.
It was room #914. The reservation agent told us that the room had a "large marble bathroom with seperate shower and tub" HAHA! It was so small you could not keep the bathroom door open and stand at the sink to brush your teeth!! As for the seperate tub and shower, it didn't exist, we only had a shower/tub combination and the water pressure was so bad, it took forever to wash shampoo out of your hair. Other problems in the room included two burned out lightbulbs, small stains on the chair and floor, a couple of french fries under the bed that had not been removed from the prior guest. Housekeeping didn't replenish the shampoo and soap for our second night, so we called housekeeping and asked if they could send some up. We called at 10:15 pm just as we arrived back from the Navy Pier, a housekeeping attendent finally showed up an hour later with two bottles of shampoo and NO SOAP! This hotel was a bad experience and we would never return! Stay at the Peninsula or Four Seasons it's worth the $300 per night they charge!!!!
They were SO MUCH NICER!!
Big Room but lousy Wi-Fi
I stayed at the Inter-Continental for four days in mid-March. I joined the frequent guest program (Priority Rewards) and was solicited for an upgrade to "ambassador" status. I spent the extra $150 for the priviledge, but wish I had saved my money. I was given a room in the historic tower on the 20th floor but it overlooked a series of HVAC compressor fans on the roof of what I assume was part of the hotel (not very pretty). The room was large and decorated tastefully.
Unfortunately, it had a connecting door to a corner room next door. I should have rejected the room, but didn't think about the noise factor until 11:30 that night when the noisy neighbor arrived talking on his cell phone. I stuffed one of the hotel's cotton robes under the door to try and muffle the sound. Hallway noise was also a problem...I could hear the arrival and departure of neighboring guests loud and clear.
The hotel offers free Wi-Fi for computer users, but the signal was very weak and would fade in and out. I lost my internet connection more often than not. I ended up sitting by the hallway door in order to get a signal strong enough to use the internet. The marble bathroom is nice, but I found it frustrating that there was no towel bar/ring by the sink. I had to place my hand towel on the pedestal sink's rim every day and it always ended up rather wet. The historic tower is beautiful and the public areas are gorgeous, but I found the forementioned items to be a bit irritating for a 4+ star hotel. The Michigan Avenue location is nice for shoppers and business-people, but I found that most of the area's restaurants were four or more blocks away in the River North area. If you want to be close to bars and restaurants you might want to pick a hotel in the River North area.
Loved it
I was there the last week in January 2004. I booked a cheapie rate of $99 online, no refunds allowed. I was expecting a standard room in the main (modern) tower so I was delighted to get a room on the 30th floor of the historic tower. The room was sumptious, fit for a honeymoon, too bad I was alone, ha. My marble bathroom was bigger than the whole hotel room and bath I had just had in NYC (and for half the price!) I had 3 large windows that looked down Michigan Avenue. I didnt have much interaction with the staff but they seemed pleasant. The housekeeper was unobtrusive and the turn down service was an added luxury (they even filled the ice bucket!)
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
We stayed here through Hotwire and got an amazingly low rate- $60 some odd dollars nightly for a 2 night stay last May. The room they had us in was small and had no view of anything except the wall of the other part of the hotel, but it was very clean, tastefully decorated and cozy. We had a great vacation, walking all over town until we ended up near the Planetarium which was where we then turned around and saw the skyline of Chicago and were just wow. So anyway, the hotel is great, the service was great, the room was very nice- I would recommend this hotel to anyone though I work at the front desk of a hotel myself and the previous person's comment about how she wasn't able to get adjoining rooms, well, internet sites don't guarantee things like that anyway- you've got to call the hotel direct and verify things like that. There's a note about that on internet sites as well- no room type/location is guaranteed.
5 stars out of 5 for this hotel.
Family Friendly ????
My family recently spent a week-end in Chicago at the Intercontinental Chicago Hotel. Because we have three children(ages 9,8 &3 yrs.) we were required to purchase two rooms. When I booked with an on-line travel company I stated that we would need adjoining rooms. We were not given adjoining rooms instead our second room was across the hall and five rooms down. We called the front desk and were told that everything was booked and that we should have specified connecting rooms not adjoining ones. The staff was unconcerned and unwilling to make any changes. Since my adult sister was with us she agreed to share her room with our eight and nine year olds. This would have been fine except that on the second night my eight year old was sleep walking (not a common occurence) and left her aunt's room to look for her mother. Amazingly she did make it to my door and knocked very lightly. It was 2:47 am and luckily I had gotten up to go to the bathroom or I would not have heard her knock. Needless to say I didn't get any sleep thinking of what could have happened to my child. She had no knowledge of the incident the next morning. My sister said she had heard something but the air conditioner was so loud she didn't realize it was her niece opening the door. I am not placing blame on the hotel for my daughter's sleep walking, however,if we had been in adjoining rooms as requested, my daughter could have simply walked safely through the adjoining door. The incident along with the obvious lack of concern from staff has definitely jaded my opinion of this hotel and I would not stay there again and would not recommend it to other families.
Always Excellent!
I have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions, and it is unique in combining a storied past (as the Shriner's Atheltic Club) with a top-notch restoration and impeccable service.
Not all the rooms have great views (they once stuck me in a room with the "brick wall view," as they called it), but the service and amenities more than make up for it. In fact, when we complained about the view, they moved us to a different room with a view of the lake.
The rooms have always been perfect except that once some wallpaper was peeling. I mentioned this to the front desk staff on my way in and there was a man up in the room fixing the wallpaper 10 minutes later.
That's the kind of service I expect in a 4-star hotel.
There are two choices for rooms in the hotel; the original tower is decorated in the High McMansion style and it is great for traditionalists. The new wing is decorated with rich colors and a funkier decor, and it's where I prefer to stay.
Be sure to check out the grand swimming pool in the original tower. It is truly spectacular, as is the lobby in the tower. Just don't do what I did - take the elevator from the pool down to the lobby only to descend into a black tie military ball wearing a dripping wet swimsuit.
At least I didn't run into Donald Rumsfeld in the elevator. The Secret Service had secured a different elevator just for him.
The restaurant on Michigan Ave has great food and really fun chairs.
Decent room service is available 24 hours a day. The breakfast was great but way too heavy. I ordered a so-called health breakfast, and it was immense. It might have been healthy if it was about a quarter the size!
The location of this hotel, right on Michigan Ave blocks from the best shopping, is perfect. They have valet parking but, but like many premium hotels, they don't offer self-parking. There are plenty of garages within 2 blocks for those of us who wouldn't trust our cars to anyone else.
Caveat Emptor! They no longer offer high-speed Internet access as of my last visit. The explanation was that "the server broke." This is pretty lame, but they promised that they'd have it back up and running with a different service soon.
Mike Dushane
Expected more! Considering the Price was steep!
The location is great!!! Really is centrally located. The hotel is beautiful, casual elegence is abound everywhere. The pool is awesome. Wish there was a hot tub/whirlpool, kiddie pool area. The service left a lot to be desired. Long wait for check in/ check out. GUESTS FELT INVISIBLE TO STAFF!! VERY FEW OF THE STAFF in SERVICE END SPOKE OR UNDERSTOOD ENGLISH. Come on this is AMERICA SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND ENGLISH!!! Stay in the historic rooms. The room was beautiful. The bar had live jazz on Sat. night and was reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet is the Bomb! The Loop has a stop next to the hotel as well as the free trolly is across the street. Stay was OK but not what I expected from a 4 star hotel. Chicago was phenominal would go again but stay elsewhere for that kind of money- I EXPECT TO BE NOTICED AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M ASKING!
We stayed on business for 10 days in January 2003.Our room was fabulous - they gave us a one room suite with 2 full bathrooms for $199/ night. We had no complaints. The location was perfect - right on Mich ave. My husband used the swimming pool, which he liked, as well.All business hotels should aspire to be this professional.

One of the things I've been toying with is going to cosmetology school. Now, I don't want to do makeup professionally, other than on my blogs. I just want to know how to get better at doing makeup. I figure I'm not the only person out there that feels this way.
How to Get Better at Doing Makeup?
Boy, that's a loaded question. I mean, they say practice makes perfect, and I suppose in some instances it does. BUT – bad technique and bad looks will just get reinforced. So what do you need?

fashion week
Posted by Caroline Smith on September 17, 2010 04:00 PM
Apparently, "basic" is the new black. The Spring/Summer 2011 Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, which ended yesterday, demonstrated that designers are still courting recession-wary customers by offering signature pieces that translate beyond a single season.
Among fashion's old guard brands, Ralph Lauren returned to his Western roots, Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein presented sleek, simply-cut dresses, and Oscar de la Renta stuck to his fail-safe Upper East Side cocktail dresses—to a fault, some believed.
But amidst this return to familiar territory, several up-and-coming designers made their presence known in the tents. Over the last few years, Asian-American designers have been gaining in sartorial influence, with Michelle Obama favorite Jason Wu, Parsons grad Alexander Wang and Richard Chai, who together swept the 2010 CFDA Awards. This year, the up-and-comer to watch was Prabal Gurung, a CFDA-nominee who hails from Singapore, by way of Kathmandu. Click through to check out his collection, and more fresh faces on the catwalk this past week.Continue reading...

When to pick Cherokee Purple?
I finally have a Cherokee Purple ripening, and I'm thrilled, but I don't know when to pick it. It's coloring nicely on the bottom, but still green on top. Not a dark purple, just purplish right now, but the bottom feels soft and ripe.
Any help would be appreciated. A picture of a ripe one would be great.
Its not really a question of when to pick, but when to eat. Many of us pick when the fruits are turning color (half pink) in order to avoid insect damage, splitting, and trespassing neighbors who think vine ripened means all the way ripe. Once color begins to change, flavor development is no longer dependent on connection to the plant.
With the ripening fruit safe on the counter top you can judge by softness of the fruit (below the shoulders). Green When Ripe varieties that do not have a yellowish skin are more difficult because you have to touch test them on the plant until they start to soften.
i too wondered when to pick, but like spiced ham said testing them by their softness seemed to work just fine. we ate a few with green shoulders, and let a few get pretty ripe on the counter. all of them were excellent, with slightly differing character.
heres a few pics of ours this year.
ripening on the vine
ready to eat
compared to marglobe variety (underexposed a bit)
sliced and ready to eat
Robeb, those look gorgeous. I didn't plant cherokee for the first time this year because every single one rotted last year. The year before I got a couple good ones. They're probably my favorite but I just can't seem to grow them. Plus they were out of control growth wise. They sure are yummy, though!
I picked my Cherokee tomato yesterday for the first time when it started to show some color on the bottom. I read that is when to pick them because they could become overripe on the vine. This is the first time in Florida that I have been able to grow tomatoes that look this good. My son made these grow boxes from 18 gallon storage bins. You use a lot less water with this method. If anyone wants information on the home made grow boxes just email me at email@example.com.

Cowtown Keeylocko, AZ - population 5, most of the time
"The difficult ... you're supposed to do right away. The impossible ... that'll take you a few days longer." Building your own town out near Tuscon, Arizona probably falls in the category of "the impossible," but Ed Keeylocko did that, a pickup truck of materials at a time. This is the story of Cowtown Keeylocko, built by an African-American with red hair and swamp green eyes, who was abandoned by his mother, a self-proclaimed minority of minorities. He served in Korea and Vietnam, and he returned to the US, where he took up ranching in Arizona. In December of 1974, he founded Cowtown Keeylocko, a western ranch that is "an odd mixture of the real and the fanciful." The ranch/town expanded by 1989 to have a mayor, citizens, its own zip code, fourty-six head of cattle, three ranch hands, 10,800 acres of land, and five buildings (Google books preview). The March/April 1996 issue of American Cowboy has a short article on Ed Keeylocko and his cowtown, and here's a more recent (but still dated) website on the mayor and trail boss of Cowtown Keeylocko, with stories from visitors and photos from a roundup.

Some of My Best Friends Are Germs
It is a striking idea that one of the keys to good health may turn out to involve managing our internal fermentation. Having recently learned to manage several external fermentations — of bread and kimchi and beer — I know a little about the vagaries of that process. You depend on the microbes, and you do your best to align their interests with yours, mainly by feeding them the kinds of things they like to eat — good "substrate." But absolute control of the process is too much to hope for. It's a lot more like gardening than governing. The successful gardener has always known you don't need to master the science of the soil, which is yet another hotbed of microbial fermentation, in order to nourish and nurture it. You just need to know what it likes to eat — basically, organic matter — and how, in a general way, to align your interests with the interests of the microbes and the plants. The gardener also discovers that, when pathogens or pests appear, chemical interventions "work," that is, solve the immediate problem, but at a cost to the long-term health of the soil and the whole garden. The drive for absolute control leads to unanticipated forms of disorder.[more inside]

Nach noch einmal einer ziemlich langen Fahrt von Wilmington, sind wir in Charleston angekommen. Heidy kam bei den vielen sch�nen S�dstaatenh�usern der Film "Vom Winde verweht" in den Sinn.

They had all thought she had died of small pox and then she awoke on the cooling table just hours before she would have been buried. This so traumatized the father that he put in his will that he wanted to be burned after he died. There was really no practice of cremation at the time and so in his will, ...

The House's Version of Housing StimulusApril 9, 2008 - by Donny Shaw
The House of Representatives is acting quickly to finish the Senate's Housing Stimulus bill. On Wednesday the House Ways and Means Committee approved their version of the bill, the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008, by a bipartisan vote of 35-5. Some of its proposals for helping struggling homeowners and the housing market in general are similar to what the Senate's approve in their bill. But unlike the Senate bill, the House's new bill includes a way for the government to raise enough money to offset the entire cost of what it provides.
Here's a quick rundown of what this bill from the House would provide:
- A tax credit for first time home buyers equal to 10 percent of the price of a home up to $7,500. The credit would have to be paid back to the government over 15 years in equal installments. It would be available for one year from the date the bill is enacted.
- An extension of standard property tax deductions – $350 for single filers and $700 for joint filers – in 2008 for the estimated 28 million homeowners who do not itemize on their taxes. (The Senate's bill contains a similar provision, but would provide slightly more – $500 for single filers and $1,000 for joint filers.)
- An increase in the amount of Federal low-income housing tax credits that may be given out by each state in 2008 and 2009. Currently, the limit is set at $2.00 for each person residing in the state. This bill would increase that limit by an additional 20 cents for each person
residing in the state.
- A $10 billion increase in the amount of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds that state housing agencies can use to refinance subprime mortgages, make loans to first-time buyers and for the construction of low-income rental housing. This would apply only for 2008 and mirrors a provision in the Senate bill.
- Simplification of some technical rules relating to tax-exempt housing bonds that states use to finance the building of low-income housing projects. (Try as I may, I don't really understand this part. Can anyone explain in the comments?)
And to make back the money that would be spent on the above proposals:
- A Bush administration proposal to require brokers to report to the IRS the cost basis for transactions involving publicly traded securities (i.e. stocks, mutual funds, bonds). The thinking behind this is that requiring brokers to maintain records of these transactions to report to the IRS would boost compliance with capital gains reporting, and thus tax collection. This is estimated to raise $8.05 billion over 10 years.
- A one-year delay in the implementation of a new, liberalized rule for allocating interest between U.S. sources and foreign sources for purposes of determining a taxpayer's foreign tax credit limitation. Delaying this new rule is estimated to raise $2.93 billion over 10 years.
This bill will now move to a vote by the full House. It's expected to pass pretty easily, and once it does, it will have to be reconciled with the Senate's version before going to President Bush to be signed into law. We'll keep you posted.

Day 33 Brian's Awareness Tour
Today we got a late start because we had to drive to our starting point from Omaha in the morning. We said goodbye to family and took off. Today was the first day that we had to take a very windy path to be able to go the direction we wanted to go without getting on the interstate. Everywhere we rode had been flooded a few years ago. You could see water lines about 4 feet up on houses and most of them looked like they had been abandoned. ...

2004-06-25 14:04
perhaps the coder was in the middle of refactoring this code so that it could be used for any month instead of just december :) Personally I think having the 12's hardcoded in there is a bigger sin than programmatically figuring out that there are 31 days in the 12th month. and the ugly string concatenation that could've been avoided by using a DateTime value and ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")

"I don't know about you, but that grade school rhyme helps me remember which months have how many days. On the occasion that I don't remember that, I'll consult my wall or desk calendar."
I always learned to remember it via the knuckles on your hand: Start at the right or left, doesn't matter. A knuckle is a month with 31 days, in between knuckles is a month not with 31 days :)
2004-06-25 14:27
...when short February's done. :)
2004-06-25 15:25
Could this be a i18n thing? Other calendars with 12 months might have a different number of days. Or not.
2004-06-25 20:08
CurrentYear.AddYears(1).AddDays(-1) would have done fine on I18N and other funky calendars anyway I think
2004-06-25 23:51
Why conform? Every month has 2^(month_number) days in my book. Currently, June will be over for me in 39 days.
2004-06-26 04:20
What bugs me most here is that "12/" & lastDay & currentYear.Year. This representation for dates has a great potential for i18n bugs. I'd be seriously tempted to test this code in a default non-US English locale (say, Russian with dates as d.MM.yy), my customized settings (Russian but with dates in yyyy-MM-dd), and my "extreme date-formatting testing" settings (dates in yyyy$MM$dd).

And, this developer is being inconsistent; if 12th month can contain !=31 days, a year can contain !=12 months.
2006-09-11 11:06

Thirty days hath September (except in 1752) the last day of which was the 30th, but according to cal (on most UN*X systems) September 1752 has 19 days 1,2,14,15,16, ...

Interesting how dates are handled by most systems - especially the GetFileTime() and GetSystemTime() under windows dev

I mean the description of FILETIME is WTF to me (64 bit value representing number of 100-nanosecond intervals since Jan 1 1601). Does anyone know of a file created pre 1920?

2006-09-11 11:19
Presumably this breaks if the locale is set up to expect dates in DD/MM/YYYY format? Or perhaps it does some heuristics to notice that 12/31 cannot be the 12th of 31ember.

2006-10-06 13:44
I know this is an old story, but the author might have had localization in mind. Not all calendars have 31 days in the 12th month (and some have more than 12 months). We assume Gregorian in the US, but Windows developers may need to support other calendar formats (yes, people really have other calendars besides Gregorian!). Of course, a programmer with localization in mind should probably NOT have hard-coded the date separator and format into the control...
2006-11-04 17:30

Hmmm....

Never heared of using you knuckles to figure out the length of the months?

Pit - February

Middle finger knuckle - March

We stayed in the Mansfield Inn and Suites over the New Year's holiday. Since we were in town for a family funeral and knew that there would be lots of "gathering" with multi generations, we chose to book a suite. These "suites are more "large room" than multi room suite. There was plenty of room for the youngest of our group to play while adults talked and visited. It was easy to pull chairs from rooms where other family members were staying with no crowding. The suite has a micro wave and small fridge, It was perfect for storing snacks and small meals.
Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast is typical Hampton fare. The hotel lobby is quite spacious. It was easy for our large group to meet for breakfast and not dominate the room.
Since this hotel is close to the ski area, we did have some concerns about noise on New Year's Eve. No worries. Rooms were quiet.
The only negative of this hotel was the door locks. We did have several times when we needed staff help to get the doors to lock when we were leaving. I would recommend checking the door carefully before leaving. We also had to have keys "redone" multiple times. Each time we were cautioned to keep keys away from cell phones etc. We know this. It seems like thay might have an issue with their system. The staff was always available and helpful to solve this problem, but it happened multiple times in multiple rooms.
I would definately recommend this location. We will probably return for future family events.

Vickers retiring after 42 years with VSAC
WINOOSKI Donald Vickers has some important plans for the future.
I have a chicken coop thats falling down, a garden to tend to, and I will have to unplug my alarm clock, said Vickers, who is retiring after serving 23 years as president and chief executive officer and more than four decades with the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation.
When Vickers joined VSAC as director of the state grant program in 1971, he was one of four employees. Under his leadership, VSAC grew to 400 employees, until 2010 when the U.S. government restructured how it administers federal loans. For VSAC, whose budget came from administration fees, the shift was painful.
Im a growth kind of guy and I wasnt sure I was the right guy for the job, Vickers recalled of the time when, after two decades of steady expansion, he had to lay off 130 employees. What happened during that difficult spot made things difficult for Vermont families.
Before 2010, VSAC was a one-stop shop, where prospective students could learn about grants and loans, but the conversation would begin with the most basic of questions: What do you want to do?
Its an important question, because a loss of interest can lead to not finishing college, leaving students with high debt loads and an inability to pay them off, Vickers said.
VSAC also discusses loan options, and the reality a student will face upon graduation when its repayment time, through financial aid nights at most high schools.
VSAC also communicates its message though media used by todays teens: social media and websites such as www.startwhereyouarevt.org, which is aimed at current students grades seven through 12 and is intended to help them make an informed decision about what they want to study and how much it will cost.
Now, most students dont find out about the terms of their federal loans until right before you enroll, Vickers said.
While a career decision can be daunting and the loan amounts terrifying to youths and their families, the prospect is more attractive than not getting an education, Vickers noted.
According to 2011 statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for a college graduate is 4.9 percent, compared to 9.4 percent for a high school graduate and 14.1 for a dropout.
Vickers will leave VSAC on June 30, but before he goes he will be honored in March during a ceremony in Boston as he receives the Eleanor M. McMahon Award for Lifetime Achievement from the New England Board of Higher Education.
