Telling New York's Story Through the Legendary Ed Koch
A new documentary by Neil Barsky about the contentious legacy of the former New York mayor has its international debut at the Jerusalem Film Festival this week.
In the opening scene of "Koch," a new feature-length documentary, a fierce debate erupts in City Hall over whether to rename the bridge that connects Manhattan and Queens after the legendary, and then still very much alive, former mayor.

Kitco Spot Gold Price Watcher1.1
editor's review
Kitco Spot Gold Price Watcher is a compact Firefox extension designed to keep you updated with the price of gold while you are browsing the Internet. It is a useful for the users who trade gold items and need to keep in touch with the market.
Gold is one of the precious metals used by investors from around the world to store wealth in order to protect it from inflation. Even during unstable economic environments such as the financial crisis, the price of gold was stable and provided comfort to the owners.
However, even the gold price has certain variations which are essential for important transactions that involve large quantities of gold. This is why every investor needs to keep an eye on this value and react to the changes in the market.
The add-on is designed for the Mozilla Firefox users who do not want to open new tabs, check the price manually or periodically refresh a tab to find out the current price. This tool allows you to get the information with just one look.
It is installed in the extension toolbar which must be visible in order to view the updated bid and ask values. You do not need to install complicated programs or use desktop widgets that display other information besides the price of gold.
If you are looking just for the gold price and are not interested in other stocks, the Gold Price Watcher add-on can be very helpful. It does not require any configuration for retrieving the information from the Internet and occupies very little space on the browser interface.
Overall, Kitco Spot Gold Price Watcher is a good tool provides that you are comfortable with using older versions of Firefox. If are using the latest version of the browser, you should look for another alternative.

2014 Audi S4 Prestige quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 6M)
I bought this car new last year, for the first year I loved the car, every aspect of it with small somewhat irritating problems. Wind blowing throw the windows on the highway right off the lot will drive you insane if you are listening to talk radio.
My S4 came with the Upgraded Summer Tire package with the Continental Conti Contact 3s. These are the Worst tires in the world, the tread pattern wore out "unusually" after 7K miles, seriously...That is a like 2k option, what a waste, if you car has these tires make them change them before you buy.
Interior design is awesome, looks cool, the exterior is not great but I actually like it looking low key and my wife cant tell the difference between this an an A3 or A4
Needs more power, I have a 6 speed but the new double clutch is pretty awesome, doesn't matter if you cant steer the car, this went from being my favorite car to considering getting rid of it, never though that would happen after a year
Put safe nice actual performance tires on a performance car
They are not only bad but dangerous, it had the car shooting into oncoming traffic. I thought I was having the "electric steering problems "that ma.
I enjoyed the steering in the first 5k miles, but let me tell you, the steering gets worse, so don't judge by a test drive at the dealer, the electric steering sucks.
But if you expect tires on a 60K car to last 5k miles and they don't, Audi will take car of you, just kidding they don't care, too bad these car was close to being awesome.
2014 Audi S4 Prestige quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 7AM)
This car represents a Teutonic variation on the classic American muscle car: take a mid-size car (the A4, in this case) and install a larger, more powerful engine. There is more to the S4 than that, of course, but that is the essence of it. The only way of distinguishing it from an A4, at a glance, is the presence of small S4 badges front and rear, and the V6T badges on the front fenders.
The S4 gives excellent acceleration with superb handling and ride quality, combined with reasonable fuel economy. It is not inexpensive (especially in Prestige trim), but I cannot think of a car with its combination of virtues available at a lower price from any other manufacturer.
Subtle styling, excellent interior design, superb build quality inside and out, good ergonomics, many luxurious extra features, powerful optional Bang & Olufson sound system
The plethora of available computer functions selectable through the MMI can be baffling.
2014 Audi S4 Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 6M)
I do not like how soft BMW cars have become - like American muscle cars of the past with lots of power but they just cannot handle (turn) well. I sold a 2013 128i M Sport after just 9 months. I drove the 2015 M235i and M3 sedans all day long at the BMW Car Control event. I am very unimpressed with the new M3. Poor seating position, turbo lag is prevalent, and it actually has too much torque to be fun. I have had VW and Audi in the past and they all were unreliable. Decided to look at the S4 on a whim - did not really even cross my mind, but maybe that's a good thing. It looks like a "regular" A4. The 6-speed manual shift action is smooth and the clutch actually has feel - BMW is too soft.
Quattro is great in the rain - it is like having a grown up version of an STI or Evo. Seating comfort is terrific. Plenty of room in the back seat for a child seat and more. Navigation is complicated to learn but I love the live traffic displayed on the map. The car actually comes with a spare tire for those long drives to Vegas where a 19 inch wheel is not available in the middle of nowhere (shame on BMW and Porsche for no spare).
The optional MMI system is great but complicated to learn. Not so easy to just play CD. The optional wheels could be better looking.
2014 Audi S4 Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 7AM)
I bought the S4 because it is advertised as a track car by Audi at their Sports Car Experience at Infineon Raceway. After a warm up session, then 15 minutes on the track I had fade and then failure from my brakes. At the dealership the rotors were determined to be bad. I have owned so many cars, 10 Audi's, and NEVER has this happened. According to the dealership Audi USA will not cover the brakes they put in my car. How is it the S4's they have you track at their raceway last but mine cannot? This car is not for tracking since the manufacturer does not back up it's product and treats loyal owners poorly. Truth in engineering= failure to support customers.
Brakes that work like the ones on the Audi S4's at the Audi tracking program in Sonoma.
I am now on my third Audi and my current S4 is certainly the best. I test drove all models excluding A8 (can't afford it anyway) and S4 drives the best. Especially in its Sport mode - what a thrill! You can make it a normal commute car and join thousands of other generics on the highway during rush hours. But you can put in more aggressive mode and enjoy a proper sports car at a press of a button (well several buttons anyway). Brilliant design, excellent engineering and great execution.
Engine, interior design, steering wheel. Feel of quality everywhere.
Break pads generate too much break dust. Wheels are black two days after every car wash. Exhaust pipes (those nice steel/silver endings) became black and non-easy-cleanable.

New media and
new audiences
Mark Balnaves
Globalization involves a checkered process of systematic desegregation in which local cultures lose their autonomous and separate existence and become thoroughly interdependent and interconnected. (Ang 1996, p 157)
It is obvious to any casual observer of international affairs that today's world is far more interdependent than ever before. But it is not true. (Beinart 1997)
Ang and Beinart are at opposite ends in their interpretation of what is happening with new media and new audiences. Ang is a proponent of radical change— the idea that we have entered a new kind of global society. Globalisation can be seen in the process of post-industrialisation (Bell 1989) and postmodernism (Baudrillard 1983). Beinart is a proponent of continuity—the idea that we are still in the same kind of international society. Globalisation is much the same as it has always been within the operation of the nation-state (Giddens 1991), modern industry generally (Schiller 1989) and the evolution of the public sphere (Habermas 1989). Giddens (1998) more recently advocated a 'third way' in globalisation theory and philosophy, combining wealth creation and social cohesion.
Such speculations, and others provided in previous chapters, are important to media studies because they set the framework for thinking about the future. But there is another side to speculation—testing the present. The modern media industry—from infrastructure to content provision—is more than an ideologically market-driven machine. Industry has a legitimate role in testing what people need.
In the 1940s, Theodore Adorno made a distinction between 'critical research'—broader society-level attempts to predict the effects of new media— and 'administrative research'—government and industry attempts to test public opinion and how people use media. Initially, Adorno gave critical theory the edge in the testing stakes. But Adorno changed his mind on this divide as he saw new

AES E-Library
The Art and Business of Game Audio
[Feature] The latest developments in the field of game audio and music composition were discussed in a series of workshops held at the AES 127th Convention in New York. Approaches to making more dramatic music and sound effects were discussed by experts from different parts of the game audio industry. Considerable attention was also paid to the issue of interactive music creation, whereby some 60–90 minutes of music has to be made to serve for perhaps tens of hours of interesting game play, using layers and dynamic mixing techniques. The composer's task is made more difficult by the limited availability of information and examples about the game for which he may have to write appropriate music, which leads to a need for greater involvement in the team process of game creation.

Perspectives and Musings on Clinton's Round 2
The Center of Power
Published: November 8, 1996
To the Editor:
John M. Barry (Op-Ed, Oct. 31) is mistaken in his assertion that Speaker Newt Gingrich ''rewrote House rules to give himself extraordinary control -- in naming committee chairmen, for example, a power no Speaker has had since Joe Cannon was stripped of it in 1911.''
House rules in 1911 and now do not speak to the naming of committee chairmen, a function of each party caucus. At the beginning of the 104th Congress, Mr. Gingrich bent the unwritten seniority tradition in naming chairmen, particularly for the key Appropriations Committee, where he reached down to fourth-ranking Representative Robert L. Livingston to replace Joseph M. McDade, who was under indictment.
Mr. Barry also contends that Mr. Gingrich fractured House comity by dismantling ''procedures intended to protect the minority.'' While a nose or two may have been thrown out of joint by the termination of daily ice deliveries, I am unaware of any violation of minority rights.
Mr. Barry's mistaken perceptions do not undermine his main contention, that this House will be centrist, under Republican control by a thin margin. It may differ in emphasis, but not in any major ideological regard, from the second session of the 104th Congress (the post-Contract With America session).
The notion that a formal moderate rump group may emerge in the majority House Republican ranks may well come to pass. In coalition with a cohesive Democratic minority, the moderate Republicans could wield the balance of power on any number of issues.
Washington, Nov. 7, 1996
The writer is a former legislative director of the House Democratic Study Group.

just a few pictures from the past few days… our snomageddon experience. since i live in the middle of the city, i haven't had to brave the roads, trains, or buses like others (lucky me). so, it's been beautiful. and peaceful. and most definitely christmas-y.
Tag: thursday
how to start a summer day.
1. get up as late as possible and throw on some clothes.
2. meet some friends at a designated place in the city & jump in their car.
3. head off to a somewhat unknown destination.
4. walk through the woods to get to said destination
5. enjoy a picnic breakfast and great conversation for about 3 hours in the sunshine.
6. go home satisfied, at peace, and ready to continue seizing the day.
love & peace to you all.
passing time on a thursday.
wearing my emotions on my sleeve.
well, maybe i'm not really wearing my emotions on my sleeve since i'm not really showing them much these days. it's not that i don't want to, but i don't really know how. its not that i'm feeling sad. or happy. but, both. and everything else in between. my emotions are right on the surface. it is as if i am filled with so many emotions, all different kinds, bubbling inside me. and i can't say anything about them. it doesn't work to try to use words. they won't come out. i'm not sure if i want them to. they're just there. inside me. all of them – the good ones & and the not so good ones. but i found this, and it speaks loudly to me.
peace, my friends.
a little attitude ain't bad.
it's "no alarm thursday" and you know what that means? it means that when this post posts itself to my blog in the morning (since i'm writing it wednesday night), i will still be cuddly & snuggly under my covers, completely in the middle of some deep sleep. it also means that i'm gonna have a little attitude when i finally do wake up…
i kinda feel like shaking my head, snapping my fingers (3 snaps in a z-form. does anyone remember that?), smacking' my lips & suckin' my teeth. mmm hmmm… i can sleep as long as i want. boo-yeow. in your face, alarm clock. you're not waking me up this morning. i'll wake up whenever i damn well please. and, if that isn't enough, there will be no work for me today as well – ok. maybe a little. but, not a lot, at least. and it will all be done from home. in my pj's, if i want it that way. and with tons of chips & other crap to eat as i do my work. and coffee. lots of pots of coffee. there's just this one tiny thing that's bringing me down: it's laundry day. and it'll take all afternoon. but, it's gotta be done. i can handle it, though, 'cuz then i can begin packing. and after packing, in a few days, i'm traveling to the states & having 2 weeks of days without you, my dear alarm clock. so take that.
yep. good morning, people. i've got a little attitude today. thursday, you're gonna be done on my terms. *snap. snap. snap.*
who's ready for thursday?
in the mornings, especially during this time of year, i try to spend some time alone. ok. zola usually follows along, as you can see. hehe. it takes a long time for the sun to come up in the mornings, so it's cozy to sit with the advent lights in the windows & a few candles lit on the table near me. i need this time. i need time to sit, breathe, think, just be. there are many days that i'd love to just remain here all day, to be honest with you. writing, drinking coffee, reading. perhaps i'm just still stuck in that dark season place… wanting to stay home, feeling like i have no energy. anyway, this time in the mornings helps me focus. i begin my day slowly, instead of rushing around like a crazy person. there is already so much stress, so much to do. i can't let it invade my mornings.
yesterday we had a christmas lunch at work for all of the staff. we decided on a lunch because everyone has so much other stuff already planned. dinners, parties, guests, shopping, and of course, work. so, we decided to go with something simple. we gathered around a long table, with cozy christmas decorations & candles, ate fish soup, cake, & coffee, and enjoyed about 2 hours of an uncrushed, unhurried time of fellowship.
one thing i love about sweden is that you can find yourself surrounded by people from all different countries a lot of the time. at our lunch, there were 5 countries represented: syria, sweden, congo, thailand, & usa. i love that! and all of us were speaking different levels of swedish… sometimes english in order to help one another understand everything. during this meal, i fell somewhere in the middle of ability to speak swedish. secretly, it felt really good to not be the one who had no real head of what was going on/being said. instead, i was the one who was helping to translate things. it really does feel good to have made it to that level. yep.
i am loooooging for snow. last year we had out of control amounts of snow at this time year, and we'd had it for about a month already. but, this year, so far there is only this tiny amount found here & there. it's not everywhere. most days are still gray with a cold rain & a few wet snowflakes. ugh. i want pretty, white, piles of snow!!! i'm pretty much obsessed with the weather app on my phone these days, checking the 10 day forecast, hoping that snow will show up before christmas. please, weather gods?!
this picture was taken at about 4:00 in the afternoon. understand what i mean by the darkness? the sun is setting behind buildings by 2:00 and it's gone by 3:00. but i am really thankful for all of the warm lights you can find in and on all the buildings. it messes with my brain though, at 3:00 i feel like i should be going home & laying in bed by 5:00. but, no. life goes on, work continues., the day is not over at 3:00. it's crazy & different for me! though, it does give me an opportunity to see christmas lights constantly. and i love me some christmas lights. by now, most windows are all lit up with advent lights, there are outdoor christmas trees everywhere, and people rushing about. it is, in fact, beginning to look a lot like christmas. now, all we need is that snow! (there is some in the forecast for friday, but i'm not holding my breath. so pessimistic of me, i know.)
well, it's thursday. there's lots to do. lots to plan. and places to be. i'm not quite ready to get moving yet, so i think i'll have another cup of coffee & perhaps meditate for a few minutes. if you don't meditate, i highly recommend it. just sit & breathe. for one minute. think of nothing else. i'm not saying for you to pray (because i rarely pray with words). i'm not suggesting that you think of any higher being (for whatever higher being you may or may not believe in is not outside of you anyway, i believe). just be. get in touch with yourself. soak life in. all that you need, you already have. listen to your heart. breathe and prepare yourself. and then, go… ready to receive all the adventures & opportunities waiting for you, ready to tackle the problems that lay before you. and whenever you need to though out the day, take a minute. close you eyes. and breathe. you are not alone. love lives inside you.
peace on your journey today.

After being arrested following a bar fight in Scottsdale, Ariz., over the weekend, Jason London insists the incident isn't what it seems.
"The details of the events leading up to the incident are still being worked out with the help of many eyewitness testimonies; people who were there with Jason for the duration of the evening and with the recollection Jason does have. We will undoubtedly get to the bottom of the specifics. Neither Jason nor any of the witnesses we have spoken to have any recollection of anything even feeling like it was going south," according to a statement released by London's rep.
The statement claims that "excessive force" was used by the four bouncers during the altercation at the Martini Ranch.
The statement continues: "Bars are institutions where there are drunk people who are sometimes inappropriate and even violent. It is the bouncers' job to remove the problem and if it is necessary, to use force in order to secure the safety of the establishment and patrons. It is not acceptable to retaliate with brutality once that has been accomplished."
London's injuries include "a right orbital fracture, a right maxillary sinus fracture, multiple contusions, multiple hematomas and concussion."

China's power consumption drops
Beijing: China's electricity consumption shrank 12.5 percent year on year in February, the National Energy Administration said Thursday.
The country used 337.4 billion kwh last month, according to a statement.
But electricity consumption went up 5.5 percent year on year to 789.2 billion kwh in the first two months, reported Xinhua.
Consumption expanded 4.3 percent in the agricultural industry, 4.2 percent in the industrial sector and 13.8 percent in the tertiary industry in January and February. Residential consumption expanded 4.7 percent.
Electricity consumption is a barometer of economic activities.
China has targeted 7.5 percent economic growth and 3.5 percent inflation this year.
Its economic growth eased to a 13-year low of 7.8 percent in 2012. The government cooled the inflation rate to 2.6 percent year on year in 2012 from 5.4 percent in 2011.

What do you think of the
Woolrich Wool Buffalo Regular Fit Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's
? Share a...
Perfect for school in California
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 8"Weight: 130 lbsSize Purchased: Large
Sent this directly to my son on campus, he wanted a shirt/jacket that he could wear on those chilly mornings, yes we do get cold in California sometimes. lol He can just remove it as the day warms up and throw it in his backpack. He is already asking for the other colors and Backcountry was great with the quick shipping and great prices. Will order again!
Love it
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
I only have had it for three days but I have worn it all three days. I live in Chicago and have quickly run some errands/garbage runs in it without feeling the frigid cold. It does run a little big but not to the point where it was cumbersome....plus you'll be wearing a shirt underneath it so the extra room is needed.
Fit listed as "Regular" a bit deceptive
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
Recently ordered the Red/White/Black plaid in "XL". I am ~5'10", 215 lbs, typical endomorph body-type, and normally wear an XL in button-down shirts / jackets. The XL for the Woolrich Wool Buffalo Flannel shirt was quite big in the shoulders (plenty of room for swinging an axe or logging so the "recommended use" is spot on) but the body was HUGE - I'm guessing this was sized with "hoop-skirt" in mind.
Sending back and trying out a "L".
Any word on how the Large fit? I'm curious if ordering a size down in these solves the problem or if the shirt is just cut differently than you and (it sounds like) I prefer.
Hello AJ - apologies for replying so late. Wasn't a fan of the size Large for the Woolrich Wool Buffalo Flannel shirt; it still didn't fit right. Ended up keeping a Woolrich Wool Stag Flannel shirt in size Large and much prefer the fit and style. The Stag Flannel seems to be a better outer layer for my time in the outdoors.

Dr. Darryl W. Ray
Dr. Ray is the founder and President of the Board of Directors of Recovering From Religion. He has been a psychologist for over thirty years and is the author of four books: two on organizational teamwork as well as "The God Virus-How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture" and "Sex and God-How Religion Distorts Sexuality".
Dr. Ray has been a student of religion most of his life and holds a Masters Degree in religion as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology/Anthropology with a Doctorate in psychology. He is also the director of the Recovering From Religion program called The Secular Therapy Project; a groundbreaking effort to anonymously match interested clients with therapists who adhere to evidence based, secular therapeutic practices in their mental health treatment approach.
Sarah was a life-long evangelical Southern Baptist and spent years as a dutiful wife and mother before finding the courage to leave an abusive marriage. She ultimately let go of her faith, becoming a passionate advocate for growing the secular community by developing resources for practical support as people reconsidering the role of religion in their life.
In 2011, she joined the leadership of Recovering From Religion and in 2012 she was appointed as the Executive Director. Thanks to her tireless efforts, Recovering From Religion is well known as the bridge of hope for those negatively impacted by religion. In 2014 she was honored with the American Atheists "Atheist of the Year" award for her activism throughout the secular movement, and in January 2015 she was elected President of the Reason Rally Coalition.
Teresa is a former Methodist pastor and the first female member of the Clergy Project to publicly 'come out' as a nonbeliever. During the 2012 American Atheist Convention, she bravely shared her true identity—a pastor who no longer believes—with the large crowd. News of the event spread, bringing worldwide attention to the Clergy Project. The following year, she was named "Atheist of the Year" for her tireless efforts to help pastors and others dealing with their changing beliefs. Currently, Teresa is the Director of the Hotline Project.
Most importantly, Teresa is working diligently to create a future where people are not judged by what they believe. Through speeches, articles, interviews, and workshops, Teresa is dedicated to helping make it safe for people to be their true self without fear of persecution, hatred, or rejection.
Nathan Phelps
Nathan is the treasurer of the Recovering from Religion board. He is an author and engaging speaker on religion and child abuse, as well as an outspoken LGBT advocate, and the Executive Director for the Center For Inquiry in Calgary. He has dedicated his life to spreading his message and has become an inspiration to those who grew up in oppressive religious families.
The son of the notorious Fred Phelps, Nathan was raised inside Westboro Baptist Church, America's most infamous church family. He grew up physically, emotionally and mentally bullied daily by his father, all in the name of God, until his 18th birthday when he managed to finally escape. Despite his background, Nathan hopes to continue spreading his message of healing, love, and acceptance through the goals and vision of Recovering From Religion.

Russian App Day: Интервью с Александром Ложечкиным
Serving up content on the Internet is something our web sites do daily. But are we doing this in the fastest way possible? How are users in faraway countries experiencing our apps? Why do we have three webservers serving the same content over and over again? In this session, we'll explore the Windows Azure Content Delivery Network or CDN, a service which makes it easy to serve up blobs, videos and other content from servers close to our users. We'll explore simple file serving as well as some more advanced, dynamic edge caching scenarios.

We are proud to bring you Old Faithful, Perth's first traditional American BBQ smokehouse.
Influenced by the low and slow cooking style made famous in America's southern states, we have taken what we think are some of the best examples of BBQ in the world then put an Old faithful Australian twist on them.
We support local farmers, breeders, growers and suppliers for all of our meats and fresh ingredients.
All of our meats are carefully prepared and smoked in-house in our open kitchen, this gives you a complete interactive experience where you can see the BBQ process in action.
People under the age of 18 are not permitted on the premises after 5pm under any circumstances, and must be accompanied by a parent of guardian at all other times. We reserve the right to.. 1 Refuse entry to intoxicated persons. 2 Deny service to intoxicated persons on premise.
Please respect the amenity of our neighbors. We wish to be part of the solution and not the problem. this means keeping your voices down when smoking outside and leaving the area quietly when you go home. We want inner city residents to champion small bars not fight them. Our staff are here to help! If you have any issues with your service, food or drink, please feel welcome to approach us and voice your concerns; so we can make your experience the best it can be.
Low and Slow..
Low and Slow..
Our food takes time.
Most of our meats begin their journey to you by resting in a brine solution for up to 12 hours. We then rub the meats with a variety of spices to compliment the different cuts.
Some of the ingredients that these dry rubs consist of are: black pepper, paprika, cumin, mustard & mustard seeds, onion, garlic, cayenne, chilli, coriander seed, oregano, cinnamon, clove, fennel, all spice, tumeric, myrtle, pimento, coffee, nutmeg, celery salt, sea salt, and sugar.
We have used a combination of traditional American BBQ flavors and Australian natives spices to compliment the smoked meats. The meats are then cooked in a Low n Slow hot smoking method, ranging from 18 to 26 hours, using a combination of beech, hickory, and coal.
We are also very proud of our sauces which are all made in-house on King street, these are also available for purchase! ask our staff about how you can take some Old Faithful home with you.
Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements so we may help you choose - not all ingredients are listed on the menu.

Most of the photographs you find here are not mine, but they are chosen in hope that they will awaken new feelings in you.
I mostly post my poetry, but I also quote many wonderful poets, share simple thoughts about life or music. I invite you to read, listen, see, contemplate and feel. Enjoy your journey through my space and remember: a life without feelings is no living at all.

After a less-than-stellar stay experience at the brand new FS Toronto, I did not expect any earth-shattering experience in Philly. Boy, was I wrong.
Even though the hotel itself is older, everything is well-maintained and managed. Service is excellent. Room condition very good. Hardware all worked and in excellent condition. Restaurant superb. I cannot say enough about how good my stay experience was. It was exceptional.
We drove in and the driveway was full of cars. Still, it took only a minute for the doorman to come rescue us from the traffic jam. Very welcoming and efficient.
Checking in, I was the only one waiting, since all three front desk people were occupied with guests checking in. Within 20 seconds, a manager type asked if I was being helped, and I said I was waiting. He immediately processed my check in by asking to use a different counter. Very smooth and efficient. They had my reservation all set up, and my rooms were ready to go. No issues at all.
The rooms are not huge, but plenty big enough. Not quite as large or luxurious as Rittenhouse, but I am very happy with it. I guess it was about 400 sq. ft. Bed was very comfy. DVD player in room. Free wifi. No coffeemaker, but I had called down and one was delivered. No problem. Safe was oldfashioned key type. Haven't seen one of those in a long time. Not big enough for a laptop though. Furniture was old fashioned, but in excellent condition. Everything was excellent. Room noise minimal, and even though we were on 2nd floor, exterior noise minimal too. And we faced the fountain.
Had dinner at Fountain Restaurant. Excellent meal. Price was wonderful, Only $80 for a three course dinner. Great food. Excellent service. We had just had dinner at Jean Geroges in NYC at more than double the price. Fountain more than held its own. In fact, we all agreed that the Fountain dinner was better!
Breakfast at Fountain also wonderful.
Check out was a breeze, and once again the doormen were great. We did see a doorman helped a family and all their luggage get into a taxi. The guest didn't tip or even say thanks, but the doorman took it in stride. What a breath of fresh air.
I will definitely return!
