Historical Traveler Reviews Riverside Tower New York City
Great Hotel!
We stayed at the Riverside Tower for a weeks holiday in november 2003.
We thought the hotel was in a grat location(near subway and many restaurants, shops and cinema) in a quiet residential area. The room was small but clean and the ensuite bathroom was lovely and tidy. It was well worth the price (approx 89 dollars per night) and I would recommend it to any travellers on a budget!
Room 127 beautiful view of the river!
Well, i have stayed at alot of hotel chains all over the world, from Motel 6 to the Intercontinental chains and i didn't know what to expect at the Riverside. The front desk was helpful before and after check-in. The room was very small , i mean pretty small! The dimensions were about 7 x 10' with a full side bed No (headboard) a very old desk from the 50's. a lamp, 13 inch tv color (no cable) a microwave and a small frig. Small quarters for my wife and i but we like each other so it wasn't a problem:-). the bath was shower only. The room needed some paint but when the lights are out who cares. The room and the bath were very clean! The water was hot and had great pressure, clean linens, blankets, pillows. My pet peeve is when the stopper in the bathroom sink doesn't work but it worked! We felt safe in the room and in the neighborhood. Two blocks up the Subway, Zabars and H & H bagels among other shops. If you are going to ride the subway buy a one day pass $7.00, In a 24 period you can ride as much as you like and it is good for the bus also, there is also a weekend pass too. After after 3 days of shopping , visiting family and friends, sightseeing i can honestly say Riverside Towers was a great little find for 85.00 and we will stay there again! Small yes but you can break the bank and spend the extra 10 dollars for the suite! Hey,you can always stay at the Waldolf! Enjoy, T & T Turner
The original roach motel
They have to be kidding. This is not a hotel, its a rooming house, of the worst kind. Yes, the place is filthy; yes, there is no space; and yes, there were roaches. The only good thing that I can say about this place is that they refunded our money when we said we could not stay there.
Mistake from hell.
Located in a residential community where you get uiet enjoyement.
You're located in the middle of nowwhere, where in cold nights, you dont want to get out once you get into your hotel room because its too far to go anywhere. They offer you a lobby, but its only for looks, as there is nothing inside to do but sit. When you go to check in, you have to go up 2 small stairs which were covered in ice. The doorway is tricky because you have to go through 2 doors before getting in. So if you have luggage, the chances of you falling are high. WHen you check in to the hotel, quicky look to the left, that will be your lobby, a 3x6 area (one person at a time, please). The elevator is 2x2, and you have to push the Close Dorr button otherwise the door will not close.
When the door opens, you have to be carefull because the hallways are only 2 feet wide. And when you get to your room, dont expect anything in there. Its a 4x4 room, when you open the flimsy door, the bed is to your left. You share a bathroom, so if your female, dont stay here. You only get 3 television stations. On the up side, I was on the 5th floor and was able to open my window since the heat was turned up super high and only functions of full blast. OVerall, if your into safari and adventure trips, this is your hotel. The only good thing about this place is that the check-in staff was very friendly.
The Riverside Tower is the only place I stay in NYC
Bottom line: The Riverside Tower Hotel is the best-kept secret in New York. It is an incredible value in every way: budget, location, view, comfort.
I understand how some persons would be disappointed in their stay.
These are the types of people who live life with blinders on, hoping for the best and expecting the worst. They are the types of travelers who go to Europe expecting America.
For those of you who understand that a bed is a bed and that you get what you pay for, the Riverside Tower will exceed your expectations and charm the pants of you.
I felt like I had won the lottery when I discovered this place. I truthfully do not stay anywhere else when I come to NYC. It is "my" hotel.
Love it, LOVE it, LOVE IT!
I'd rather not
I stayed here with my daugher in May 1999. I felt lost staying all the way on Riverside Drive and our view was of the Hudson River (boring). We felt safe in the residential neighborhood (while heading East not West - and not on Riverside Drive). The bathroom had a shower (no shower curtain) but the drain was so plugged up with hair and other grime that the water came up to our ankles! There was a refrigerator which came in handy. They offered us a hot plate (2 burner-seemed dangerous) with a nasty pot to cook in and a couple of bowls and plates. This was ok...only. It wasn't much different from not having these items at all. There were guests on our floor that were so loud (for hours-late at night) that my daughter and I couldn't sleep. It sounded like they were having a party with their door open. I would've compained but I was a little scared to do so. The room was small...but I have stayed at smaller. The price was good (fine for BUDGET). The staff (we only encountered the front clerk) was very friendly. However, we will not stay here in the future.
Hotel as advertised
My mother and I stayed in the Riverside Tower Hotel for a week during the (2002) Christmas holidays, based on its website and the one review I was able to find online. I found that the hotel lived up to its representations on its website. The rooms are small (smaller than you might think from the photos). However, they are clean and cozy enough. The beds were comfortable. We stayed in a "suite", which means two bedrooms and a bathroom in between connecting them. No, it isn't the Four Seasons (which last time I checked started at $375 a night) but if you are accustomed to European hotels than you will be comfortable here. (There were lots of Europeans here during our visit.) The main attraction of the Riverside, besides low price, is its location: 80th and Riverside, two short blocks from Broadway, perhaps 125 yards from the 79th Street subway station and within reasonable walking distance from the West Side museums. If you prefer taking the subway to taking taxis (as I do), then you are a very short ride from Lincoln Center, Times Square, and Columbus Circle. And your breakfast needs are nicely met at Zabar's, New York's most famous delicatessen, two blocks away! A good cup of black coffee and a world-class pastry can be had for south of three bucks.
If your idea of a hotel room is a place to spend the night after you spend the day wandering around NY, the Riverside Hotel is for you.
Warning about the owner
Before booking a room at this hotel, you should read the reply I received (below) from the owner. I cancelled a reservation at this hotel on time, but was mistakenly charged nonetheless. When I called to have the charge removed, the man on the phone was extremely rude because I was unsure of the date the hotel had charged me. I e-mailed a mild complaint that the man I had spoken to had been quite impolite.
Below is the reply I received, along with my original complaint:
From :
I was the one that spoke to you and spent an excessive amount of time in order to drag out of you the necessary information to give you a refund. You were totally unprepared to provide the facts needed for solving what you
wanted. That you would conclude that this effort was somehow impolite is outrageous and ridiculous. You simply don't know how function in a normal world. Do me a favor and don't ever reserve in the future at this hotel. You are a problem that we neither need nor want.
Don Lewis
I had a reservation at your hotel during the dates below. However, as you can see, I had to cancel my reservation. The first night's charge showed up on my card nonetheless. This was no big deal-mistakes happen. However,
when I called to have the charge removed (on Weds 9/18), I dealt with a very unpleasant, condescending man who refused to allow me to complete a sentence or explanation before interrupting. He seemed to regard the task of removing the charge from my credit card to be a favor to me that he
resented doing. Given the fact that the mistake was made at your hotel's end, I found his attitude completely uncalled for. I have always had wonderful interactions with hotel employees in your city. Apparently the only thing I did to provoke this man was my inability to locate the exact date of the original charge. Despite the minor mistake of the charge on my credit card, I was considering staying at your hotel during a trip during November, due to its location
and reasonable rates. I believe instead, however, I will pay a bit more and stay at one of the other hotels that I have previously visited, where even minimal customer service was not considered such a burden by the employees.
Definitely Budget Accommodation
We took a chance and booked this hotel on the Web and boy were we dissapointed! Things began ominously when the cab driver confessed to never having heard of it! We eventually found it,swathed under scaffolding, and from the outside it looked not too bad. Even the reception area looked fine, but once we had got up to our floor it resembled the kind of cheap hotel you see in bad 1970's TV cop shows. We had two adjoining rooms which were uniquely linked by a shared bathroom. Very odd!!! There was no lock on the door so you had to be a very good singer if you wantd to preserve your dignity! The shower and bathroom fittings were old and cracked and didn't exactly make you want to linger. The furniture was extremely basic and the bedding and linen was gray and washed out.
The best thing about the place was the location.
It seemed an OK neighbourhood and you are close to a subway station.
I didn't expect the Hilton but I did expect much better. In my opinion it's really a backpackers type of place, one step up from a youth hostel, and fine if you don't mind slumming it.
Riverside Tower Hotel
When looking for a reasonable (budget) accomodation in NYC I came accross this hotel on several web sites. I booked it anyways, although being quite skeptical about it (4 nihgts in May 2002). The hotel is everything it claims to be: it is clean, it is in a nice neighbouhood of Upper Manhattan, you get a small room with your own private bathroom, you get a very nice view of the Hudson river and you get a great price. Some unadvertised suprises: good water pressure in the shower/bathroom (even on 11th floor), daily room service (towels, sheets), It is 3 minutes from the 79th Street Subway station, it is walking distance from the Central Park, parking on the street is free, but you must obey the local signs (no parking during certain days and hours). We saved on parking, so we would subway it to Downtown Manhattan each morning ($4 for subway ride-all-day ticket), if parking is not an issue, then this hotel may seem little bit away from the main NYC attractions. What took a little bit of compromise was: size of the room was quite small, it took a little re-arranging each morning and evening to fit all the luggage and beds in order; the carpet and walls were little beat-up, but still livable; elevators also small (can only fit 4 people max.); TV didn't have cable channels, so I missed a coulpe of Maple Leafs hockey play-off games, but there were about 10 good channels. But for the price, it was well worth it. I'd stay there again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, budget hotel in NYC.

Leave it to a hockey player to delicately put the right touch on a phrase to welcome back a teammate who has missed 14 games.
"Just to have him in our locker room, have him around and just seeing his big ugly mug every day, it's a good thing," Keith Yandle said.
Welcome back, Derek Morris.
The veteran defenseman, who has missed 14 games because of a family illness, skated with the Coyotes the past few days. There is no timetable for his return to game action.
Asked how it felt to be back, he joked: "Great with the guys, terrible with the skates."
"This is a fun group of guys," he said. "The guys we got out there are working, we've got a couple of nice young kids that skate a little quicker than the rest of us, and it's been great to get back out there skating."
Morris said the Coyotes' corps of young defensemen has factored in a large way into the team's success.
"They weren't just coming up and playing and expecting somebody else to do it," he said. "They came up, they played well, and they contributed, and that's what we need."
Yandle, who was tutored by Morris when he entered the NHL, hopes to see his buddy back on the ice soon.
"You go all year seeing him, and for me, he's a guy I drive with him every day, and just to see him back here, its' been great," he said. "It's been great for everybody in the locker room."
With the recent return of Rusty Klesla and the anticipated comebacks of Morris and David Schlemko (foot surgery), the Coyotes are faced with a problem, not an unpleasant one, of playing a numbers game on the blue line.
"First and foremost, we're in a playoff push, and you can never have enough defensemen; that goes without saying," coach Dave Tippett said. "Now, that being said, we've got 10 around here. We'll have to make some decisions after (Monday's game). We'll have to see how we get through. Schlemko is very close to coming back and playing; he's a possibility for the next game.
"Morris, we'll just see how he comes along later this week, so we still have a couple questions marks there that we need to address. Our young players have played very well, but the one thing about young players, you have to keep them playing. We'll just see where we get the next few days."
It did not take center Antoine Vermette long to fit in to the Coyotes' locker room or style of players. He came over from the Columbus Blue Jackets in a trade last month and is happy to be back in a playoff race.
The mind-set heading into the final few games of the season is one of not trying to do too much, he said, and to be prepared every night.
"These games are going to mean a lot for us to start with, and obviously the other team, too," he said. "It's playoff hockey, which is fun. It's pretty intense, and all the details matter.
"I think since I been here and the way I've seen this team playing from over there (Columbus), seems like the success of this team relies a lot on the way the team plays together as a group. When we do that, we're pretty successful, so I think that's going to be the mental approach, try to play hard, be good in the details of the game, everybody being on the same page and bring it as if it were a playoff game."

Settlement checks could be in the mail by the end of next week for nearly 9,000 substitute teachers, who sued the state over back-pay issues in 2002 and won a $14 million settlement last fall, their attorney said Wednesday.
Paul Alston, who held the multimillion dollar check in his hands just before being interviewed by The Maui News on Wednesday, said plaintiffs' attorneys took on the task of distributing the settlement - with the state Department of Education picking up the $200,000 tab. The arrangement, in which Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing would receive the settlement check for distribution through an independent payroll company, was approved by a state judge.
The case was originally filed 12 years ago by then-substitute teacher David Garner of Maui. The settlement approved by Circuit Judge Karl Sakamoto in November covered per diem, or daily wages, for the years 2000 to 2005, according to court documents.
The order did not specify a specific date for the payment, although the money had to be disbursed "in a reasonable time," said Alston. The DOE said that it would not be able to cut checks to the substitute teachers until before the end of March, which Alston called unacceptable.
"We then set out to find a workaround for the money to come out sooner," he said, adding that the sides have been negotiating for four months.
He noted that it was not a "normal process" for the state to cut these nearly 9,000 checks, although he did question the DOE's "will to get it done." Stopping short of accusing state officials of "acting in bad faith," he did say that the DOE has "lots and lots of people and lots and lots of resources."
The attorney general "is very pleased that we are to finally resolve the issues and that the substitute teachers are going to receive the pay," said Anne Lopez, special assistant to the attorney general, Wednesday.
She said that the DOE told Alston that the money would be disbursed in the first pay period in March.
"They wanted to get the money out faster," she said Wednesday. "We said that's fine."
She added that the state departments of Accounting and General Services and Education were in their busy season, processing W-2s and performing other end-of-the-year tax activities.
So with the money in hand Wednesday, Alston said that the funds were sent to the contracted payroll service company that day. The company will cut checks in seven days, meaning payments will be out in the mail by end of next week, he said.
The 8,830 checks range from $20,000 to a few dollars, Alston said.
The genesis of the case lies in a pay raise negotiated between the teachers union and the DOE, Garner told The Maui News in November. Union teachers got pay raises, but substitute teachers did not.
Garner and other substitute teachers filed a lawsuit in 2002, claiming that by state law their pay was tied to the level paid to class II teachers, who received a pay raise in the contract.
The case went up to the state Intermediate Court of Appeals, where the court ruled in favor of Garner and substitute teachers in November 2009. An appeal by the state to the Hawaii Supreme Court was rejected the next year.
The state Legislature approved $15 million for the settlement of the Garner class-action lawsuit. That appropriation led to the partial settlement, court documents said.
After he filed the lawsuit, Garner said his number of days of substitute teaching dropped from 170 days a year to 140 days. After moving to Florida, he and his family returned to Maui recently. He is no longer substitute teaching and has taken another job.
"I'm happy and have a job and (am) able to take care of my family," Garner said in November. He could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Alston noted that this payment is just a partial settlement. There still are outstanding issues of past due interest, which Alston put at about $10 million, attorney's fees and pay issues regarding part-time hourly teachers.
The settlement so far "represents a quarter of the total that will be paid out," he said.
Though "long overdue," he took satisfaction in holding the settlement check in his hands.
"It's not bad," he said.

Cathedral Prep baseball team advances to PIAA semifinals
STRATTANVILLE -- Thursday's PIAA Class AAA baseball quarterfinal between Cathedral Prep and Punxsutawney was a seven-inning homecoming for the Ramblers' Dillon Wolbert.
"I'm originally from Clarion," the junior said, "so it was a nice way for my family to come home."
The Wolbert clan likely enjoyed their trip back to Erie even more because of what Dillon and his teammates accomplished on Clarion-Limestone's diamond.
Wolbert singled three times and drove in four runs for Prep during its 9-2 victory over Punxsutawney. The 2014 Ramblers became the third team in the program's history to reach a state semifinal round.
Prep (21-3) will try to advance to its first-ever championship game when it faces District 1 Harriton on Monday at a site and time to be determined. The Rams upset Blackhawk of the WPIAL 2-1 Thursday in their eight-inning quarterfinal at Scotland, Pa.
Ramblers pitcher Sam Riley and his teammates basked in the moment after they eliminated the District 9 Chucks (15-6).
"We played a great game," Riley said. "I didn't get any strikeouts, but I didn't need them because I threw a lot of ground balls and double plays."
Three, to be exact.
Prep's infielders doused potential Punxsutawney rallies with twin killings in the first and second innings. Shortstop Ted DeSanti was involved in each, as well as the third one, turned during the Chucks' fourth.
DeSanti said Riley's penchant for getting groundball outs, combined with the Clarion-Limestone's thick infield grass, were major factors for those double plays.
"Usually, I play a little bit deeper," the senior said, "but because the grass was so thick it killed (the bounces). We knew during pregame that it was a dead infield, so we had to move up a couple of steps."
Prep coach Dave Hess also credited the lush infield turf for enabling Prep to successfully convert two squeeze bunts.
Billy Snider slid home on Wolbert's bunt to make it 3-0 Ramblers in the top of the second. Snider then turned around and bunted home Austin Braendel for the first run in a four-run seventh that broke the game open.
"If we got the opportunity to squeeze, we were going to take it," Hess said. "We were ripe for any type of game. If we had to play small ball, or if we had to slug it out, we were ready for whatever the situation."
The Ramblers had their share of conventional hits. Snider lined a two-run double during their second-inning rally, while Braendel and Billy Fessler each doubled in the seventh.
Punxsutawney spoiled Riley's shutout bid in the seventh when Michael Klingensmith and Clayton Dale drove in runs.
By that time, though, Riley was in cruise control. He faced the minimum 15 batters between the second and sixth innings.
"In the beginning, I couldn't have told you we were going to be here," Riley said of Prep's PIAA semifinal berth, "but now we're making a great run."

Chris Hughton took the brave decision to drop all 11 players from the 6 v 0 Villa win to field a very young side in the League Cup 2nd round on Wednesday night. Not only did the gamble pay off, but it also showed the fans that we do have strength in depth, albeit through a very talented crop of teenagers.
The starting XI contained no fewer than six players aged 19 or under and only one player over 30 (Lovenkrands – though promising youngster Shola will hit the big 3 0 soon) and the average age of the side was 21. If Andy Carroll had started instead of Lovenkrands the average age would have been down to 20.
The game was amazing. Talking with the lads before kick off, opinions on what the outcome would be were mixed - a draw being the most common prediction. I went for a 2 v 1 win and, believe it or not, no one predicted a 6 v 0 slaughter!
Villa started reasonably brightly setting up with a very attacking formation. Early on their tactic of the long ball over the top aiming to capitalise on Ashley Young's pace looked like it might reap some rewards. We looked threatening as we broke too, but when Steve Harper (who looked unsettled throughout the first half) gave away the penalty for a rash challenge on Young (who made the most of it, though it was a penalty to be fair), it looked like we would be chasing the game. Carew stepped up and lashed the ball over the bar – the miss sent the Gallowgate end delirious and all of a sudden our players looked even more energetic.
If Newcastle fans were honest with themselves (as most are) then this result was fairly predictable. When the fixtures were revealed a couple of months ago I was dismayed that we didn't have a home tie vs a bottom half team to maintain last seasons momentum, but all in all at least this fixture (arguably the toughest of the season) is out of the way and we managed not to ship 6 like our automatic promotion rivals did at Chelsea.
13 days before we entertain Aston Villa in our opening home game, Martin O'Neill has 'done a Keegan' and walked out.
Is this over the potential sale of James Milner? If so it is a remarkable parallel to the circumstances that saw Keegan walk out in his last stint as manager. Surely the sale of Shorey has nothing to do with it?
Listening to a phone-in on the subject, the Villa fans generally seem quite pleased!
How much can we read into pre season games? Do the results matter? If the answers to these questions are that we should read a lot in to them and that of course the results matter, this pre season has been a cause for concern. On the other hand most of us feared the worst when we shipped 6 at Orient a year ago and last season did not turn out too badly at all.
17th July Carlisle (A) 3 v 0 win Best, Ranger, Vuckic
24th July Norwich (A) 1 v 2 loss Shola
31st July PSV (H) 2 v 2 draw R.Taylor, Best
3rd August Deportivo (A) 0 v 0 draw (Won 5 v 4 on pens)
7th August Rangers (A) 1 v 2 loss Lovenkrands
Definitely an area of strength.
Harper is obviously Hughtons number 1 and he has been OK.
Behind him we have Tim Krul and Fraser Forster – both first team footballers of the future. I just hope that we don't stick with Harps through good form or bad on the grounds that he is one of the dressing room leaders – this would hinder the development of whichever keeper is not out on loan.
"Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen" (Hard to beat a bit of Dylan)
Saturday marked one year to the day of the sad passing of football Legend Sir Bobby Robson. On the 30th August it will be six years since he was sacked by Freddy Shepherd shortly after a 4 v 2 defeat to Aston Villa. Little did we know then how much would change at the club within a relatively short period of time.
Here are some of the stories involving potential comings and goings from NUFC today:

CAMDEN The head of a Chicago-based violence prevention program toured Camden on Wednesday and said the initiative, which has been implemented in other cities, can be right for Camden as well.
"We view violence as a disease. Diseases spread everywhere, whether that's Chicago, whether that's Camden, whether it's a big city, whether it's a small city," Frank Perez, national director of Cure Violence, said in an interview.
He added: "Therefore, it doesn't make a difference where it is. It can be fought."
Perez and Mayor Dana L. Redd discussed the Cure Violence model with about two dozen residents during a meeting Wednesday evening at Malandra Hall in the Fairview section of the city.

Shortly after introducing a redesigned version of its A4 series during the 2005 model year, Audi was ready to launch a second compact model. Unlike the A4, which has been part of Audi's lineup for years, the new A3 is a brand-new vehicle for the U.S. market. Even more surprising, the A3 is intended to appeal to new Audi customers; it's offered in only a wagon body style.
Audi says the A3, which falls into the premium compact category, "is the first four-door car with sportiness similar to the TT coupe." A new FSI engine family makes its world premiere under A3 hoods. Initially, A3s will hold a free-revving 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that develops 200 horsepower. Audi says it's the first production engine to combine FSI direct gasoline injection with a turbocharger. The same technology is found in the Audi R8 racecar, which was victorious at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Either a six-speed-manual gearbox or a Direct Shift Gearbox sequential manual mates with the four-cylinder. Sales began in May 2005.
A 250-hp, 3.2-liter V-6 will be available in the A3 toward the end of the calendar year. That version will be fitted with quattro all-wheel drive and the Direct Shift Gearbox. Inspired by racing technology, the Direct Shift Gearbox permits quick gear changes with uninterrupted traction, combining the advantages of a six-speed manual with an automatic transmission.
A single-frame tapered grille — patterned after the one on the company's redesigned A6 — dominates the front end of the A3 and is flanked by clear-lens headlights. Audi claims the front end imparts an "extremely self-confident and forceful character." Like typical coupe models, the A3's profile gets flatter toward the rear. Round wheel arches enhance the A3's stance.
Rear-end styling "is as discreet as it is impressive," according to Audi. It includes dual exhaust outlets and wraparound taillights. MacPherson struts are used for the front suspension, while a four-link independent suspension is used in the rear. Electromechanical steering offers speed-dependent power assistance. Alloy wheels hold standard 17-inch tires.
Audi says a low seat position in the five-occupant interior is reminiscent of sports cars and couples with a tall, wide center console. The steering wheel contains a trapezoidal central element that matches the shape of the A3's grille. Round air vents have aluminum surrounds like those on the TT coupe. Aluminum trim is evident on the door and glove box handles. Wide-opening rear doors are intended to ease entry and exit.
Standard equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control. An optional two-section "Open Sky" glass sunroof includes separate blinds to keep the interior from overheating and to guard against the sun's glare. Xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights also are an option. Sport and Premium packages are available.
Under the Hood
Audi's new turbocharged 2.0T FSI four-cylinder produces 200 hp at 5,100 rpm and 207 pounds-feet of torque at 1,800 rpm. The 3.2-liter V-6 generates 250 hp and 237 pounds-feet of torque. Four-cylinder-powered models can have a six-speed-manual gearbox or the Direct Shift Gearbox sequential manual, which is standard with the V-6. Four-cylinder-powered A3s have front-wheel drive, but quattro all-wheel drive is installed in V-6 models.
Side-impact airbags, side curtain-type airbags, active front head restraints and an Electronic Stabilization Program are standard. Rear side-impact airbags are optional.
Driving Impressions
Apart from its wagonlike cargo versatility, handling is the A3's No. 1 attribute. Steering is on the light side, but it's precise and yields good maneuverability. You get a nice ride with the regular suspension; you feel bumps, but it's not bad.
Audi's Direct Shift Gearbox works surprisingly well by shifting smoothly at appropriate times. You can feel it move from gear to gear like a manual transmission, with a little engine-rpm loss between each ratio and an occasional jerk if you're accelerating hard. Still, it cleverly combines the benefits of both manual and automatic shifting.
Audi's six-speed-manual gearbox is reasonably smooth, but the clutch doesn't quite cooperate to yield the gentlest takeoffs. The manual transmission works better between higher gears and coming out of curves, but there's no compelling reason to pick it over the Direct Shift Gearbox.
Few luxury touches are evident in the down-to-business interior. Large instruments are easy to read. Excellent seats deliver good support and their bottoms are fairly long, but the windowsill is so high that the driver can't rest his elbow on it. Front space is a bit snug, but headroom is great and elbow space is acceptable. Some drivers might find their right knee resting against the center console.

Issue: 59 Food and Drug Law Journal 155-168 (2004).
In early 2003, two panels of the Federal Circuit clashed in a pair of cases (Warner-Lambert v. Apotex and Allergan v. Alcon) dealing with the question of whether an action for inducement of infringement could be leveled against a generic drug manufacturer seeking Food and Drug Administration approval for an unpatented drug with both patented and unpatented uses. This article takes up this debate, analyzing the interpretive puzzles presented in the application of the intricate Hatch-Waxman Act to this set of facts, arguing that the correct interpretation weaves elements from both panels' approaches. It finishes with an alternative solution borrowed from a lesson in copyright.

GROVELAND TOWNSHIP, Michigan -- As if Christmas shopping isn't bad enough already.
Shoppers at a Groveland Township strip mall on M-15 were treated to a rather disturbing display in the parking lot.
Police said an Atlas Township man, 41, was sitting in a car, pulling down his pants and turning on the dome light every time a woman walked by.
Why was he doing this?
I'm sure it had something to do with the alcohol, weed and adult magazines that cops found his car.
Some presents are best kept wrapped.

Catelli Ristorante enjoyed an almost-17-year run in the Main Street Complex in Voorhees before the swish Italian destination closed in July 2011.
Times had changed. Owners Jan Talamo, Linda Rosanio, and chef Lou Imbesi went back to the drawing board and came up with Catelli Duo, an industrial-chic osteria/wine bar tucked into Voorhees Town Center (12101 Town Center Blvd., 856-751-6069).
The menu allows dining at a variety of price points. Imbesi says patrons will be asked if they want "social" (smaller) or "duo" (entree-size) portions. Menu includes some Catelli favorites such as the short ribs, plus salads, sandwiches, raw bar, brick-oven pizza (gluten-free, too), pasta, and full-blown entrées.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310-59365023 Touch
Average of 4 scores (from 4 reviews)
Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad U310-59365023 Touch
Source: Computer Shopper
With its mid-range 1.8GHz Intel Core i5-3337U processor, Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, and 4GB of RAM, you can forget about doing any serious gaming on the IdeaPad U310 Touch. But if you just want a skinny little system to do basic stuff—surfing and e-mailing, preparing documents, viewing videos, looking at photos and maybe editing a few of them—the Lenovo works fine, even better than fine in our anecdotal test.

The Lenovo U310 Touch is an ideal ultrabook for the cost conscious business user. The sleek design is great for travel, and the Intel i5 processor with 4GB of RAM provides the performance users need to stay productive at an affordable price point. Media intensive users will likely find the machine's short battery life (while playing media) and lackluster sound system serious deterrents. However, the Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Touch isn't for them. The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 is best suited for users who want a portable device that offers adequate utility at an affordable cost.

The voluptuous brunette in a satin robe is being chased around her boudoir. She is about to be turned into Swiss cheese by a psycho who is dressed as an American Indian and is wielding a mighty power drill with a 12-inch bit. Though the violent, bloody scene is only from a movie—Brian DePalma's latest shockeroo, Body Double—the terrified expression on the face of Deborah Shelton (Miss U.S.A. of 1970) is real. That's because De-Palma, who goose-bumped his way to fame with Carrie, Dressed to Kill and Scarface, used the real thing. No drill double. No siree. "At one point the drill was an inch from my nose," recalls Shelton. "When they turned that drill on, all the hairs on my spine stood up."
So did her dander, which disproves the theory that all Miss U.S.A. winners are beautiful but, knock-knock, nobody home. Throughout the filming Shelton and DePalma had heated discussions about the drill scene and why her character shouldn't fight back. "Who stands around like that?" Shelton asked. "Brian kept saying, 'Pathos, Debbie, pathos,' and I'm thinking, 'Stupidity, Brian, stupidity.' "
But Shelton went along. A veteran of TV guest shots, Shelton, 32, saw a big budget DePalma film as a way to the big time. "Even if it's terrible, it's going to be seen," she says. Shelton is not sure how she feels about DePalma. "I keep comparing Brian to Vincent Price. He had a sort of evil look." But, like a lot of feminists and critics, Shelton is not afraid to speak out against the man who might make her a star. "Brian makes women victims," she says. "He's into commerciality and what sells—and what people want to see. But I don't like to see women represented that way. When I see it, it creates anger in me." DePalma responds: "It's a sad state of affairs when you can't make a murder mystery and kill anybody because you're going to offend some group. You have to, I guess, pick a Martian as the victim."
Deborah is happier talking about her new role on Dallas, TV's No. 1 series. Last spring the producers auditioned actresses for the part of model Mandy Winger. Although Mandy was described as "a really young blonde, an ex-hooker with a heart of gold," the dark-haired Shelton won a reading and ultimately the part (she debuted on October 12). "So far I think I'm a good girl," she says, laughing. "I'm not blonde and there's no mention of her being an ex-hooker, though I keep waiting to find out that it's true."
When it came time to meet the illustrious cast, she "didn't sleep all night, but everybody was just wonderful." Although destined to become involved with Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval) and J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman), Deborah says, "I don't want to be kept as somebody's little pet. I'm smart." At least it's not Body Double all over again. "The thing I love about Dallas is they don't make me do bathing suit pictures."
Like it or not, it was in a bathing suit that Shelton first won public notice. In 1970, while attending Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., her hometown, Shelton, who had always wanted a career in medicine, entered the Miss Virginia contest. She won and a month later she took the Miss U.S.A. crown. Three months later Deborah, the only child of a Southern Baptist dentist and his wife, became first runner-up in the Miss Universe contest.
When she passed her crown to her successor, Shelton found that life for an ex-beauty queen could be brutal. Her experience as a model in New York sounds nearly as harrowing as that of Vanessa Williams: "I had one photographer jump on me. I had another say, 'Come on over and we'll smoke some dope and look through your pictures. Another said, 'What you need is a friendly——.' " Shelton tried marriage in 1971. She had a son, but wedlock didn't work out.
Shelton then teamed up with a New York gynecologist. They had plans to open a clinic for women with diet and cellulite disorders. But those plans never paid off. In December 1976, Deborah met her current husband, Shuki Levy, 38, an Israeli-born, Paris-based singer-composer-record producer who was on holiday in America. They were together only two days, then spent $4,500 burning up phone wires to get better acquainted. Four months later they wed in Switzerland.
Shelton and Levy live in the Hollywood Hills, with Deborah's son and their daughter. Neighbors describe Shelton as a "Kool-Aid mom" because of the hospitality the kids on the block enjoy at her house. Since 1977 she has been writing the lyrics for her husband's compositions (their song Magdalena may be featured on Julio Iglesias' next LP). Luckily, Shuki is not too upset about all the exposure his wife gets in Body Double. "I don't like it but I can't take it seriously," he says. "Soon she'll be able to be more selective." Deborah laughs at being thought of as a sex symbol: "I'm a regular kind of person." But to keep her body gorgeous, Shelton endures rigorous exercise routines at home three to five times a week with Pete Steinfeld (brother and partner of coach-to-the-stars Jake Steinfeld). For that, Shelton says, she has DePalma to thank: "He wanted everybody in perfect shape for the film. He'd say, 'That's not a DePalma body!' Let me tell you, that got under my skin. Why didn't I turn around and say, 'You're damned right. It's a Shelton body.' " Maybe she will the next time. "Megalomania," she says, rolling her eyes, "has its limits."
From Miss U.S.A. to Dallas to Body Double, Deborah Shelton Is a Sex Object Who Objects

I too would love that feature, or an extension that could do it.
There are actually two enhancement bugs filed on the subject, the
first one with some interesting comments (including a link to a
MozillaZine discussion). Apparently, that functionality requires
some deep work in the code, and it would be difficult or
impossible to design an extension for it.

The Mediterranean, a sea with unique challenges
The Mediterranean Sea covers more than 2.5 million square km, with a 46,000 km coastline. Mediterranean countries have a population of nearly 425 million, with an additional 170 million tourists visiting them each year.
Its average depth is just 1500 metres. It is a semi-enclosed sea with two main exits: the Gibraltar Strait, approximately 14 km wide, and the Suez Canal, only a few metres wide. As a result, it takes over a century for the Mediterranean waters to be renewed through inflows from other oceans.
As far as biological diversity is concerned, it is one of the richest seas in the world: 7.5 per cent of all animal species and 18 per cent of all marine flora, in a sea that represents only 0.7 per cent of the total surface of the oceans.
The Mediterranean's flora and fauna consist partly of temperate zone species and partly of subtropical species, of which 30 per cent are endemic.
Its waters join the coastlines of countries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, making the region politically, economically and geographically complex as well as environmentally unique and diverse.
An overview
Sustainable Development
Sustainable development in the Mediterranean has specific features. Particular pressure comes from tourism, urban concentration in costal areas, the development of irrigated and intensive agriculture, the trend to abandon of poorly manage mountain regions, overfishing and intercontinental (Asia/Europe) maritime transport. All these pressures are exerted on particularly limited and fragile resources: water, natural cosatal areas and the marine environment.
The Blue Plan Regional Activity Centre's work on the environment and development has drawn attention, well before the notion of sustainable development even appeared, to the interactions between population, economic development, and pressures on the coasts and natural resources such as water and the natural environment.
This approach of Blue Plan, which is both systemic and forward-looking, corresponds in practice with the concept of sustainability with its three pillars: economic, social and environmental, a concept that has particular meaning for the Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean presents specific sustainable development problems. While significant progress has been made in access to education, gender equality and public health, unemployment among the young is the most burning issue in the Mediterranean area, according to the social questions covered by the Millenium Development Goals adopted within the United Nations framework.
The Barcelona Convention plays an important role in the Mediterranean region as a forum for sustainable development, though the Mediterranean Commission for Sustainable Development (MCSD), as well as a framework for cooperation in the management of common goods such as the sea.
Combating land-based pollution
Up to 80% of marine pollution is caused by land-based activities, with industrial activities from the chemical, petrochemical and metallurgy sectors as the main source of pollution. Chemicals used in agriculture are transported to the sea through runoffs.
Three of the Protocols adopted by the Contracting Parties deal with specific aspects of pollution from land: Land-based sources and Activities, Dumping from ships and aircraft, and Hazardous wastes.
The Strategic Action Programme (SAP), developed by MED POL, identifies the main land-based pollution sources and proposes remedial actions to be implemented by the year 2025. It also contains a list of 103 pollution "hot spots" and 51 sensitive areas officially recognised as needing special attention and intervention.
During 2004–2005, all Mediterranean Countries prepared National Action Plans (NAPs) which describe what pollution reduction measures they will implement, by when and with what funds, taking into consideration the environmental and socio-economic issues, legislative frameworks, and the available infrastructure.
MAP's Cleaner Production Regional Activity Centre (CP/RAC) promotes cleaner production practices and techniques for the reduction of industrial Pollution through the application of an integrated preventative environmental strategy to processes, products and services with the aim of minimising waste through pollution reduction at source, conservation of raw materials and energy, and internal recycling.
Preventing maritime accidents and illegal discharges from ships
The Mediterranean Sea has the largest traffic density of oil tankers of the globe. With 28% of the world's sea-borne oil traffic transiting in its waters, some 200,000 crossings per year, up to 2000 ships are in the sea at any one time. 151 maritime accidents resulting in oil spills were reported in the Mediterranean between 1977 and 1999.
As some Mediterranean countries lag behind in terms of their level of preparedness to deal with pollution emergencies, MAP's Regional Activity Centre REMPEC helps them to meet their obligations under the Prevention and Emergency Protocol by providing support in developing national preparedness and response systems and assists them to set up appropriate port reception facilities for the collection of liquid and solid waste from ships. REMPEC also helps in setting up international agreements for cooperation and mutual assistance in case of emergency and in the training of personnel.
Since 1993, a Mediterranean Assistance Unit (MAU), an "expert advice" capability, has been set up with a view to providing immediate assistance to the authorities of a coastal State threatened or affected by a pollution incident.
Managing coastal areas
Around 145 million people –around 35% of the total Mediterranean population– currently make up the population of the Mediterranean coast. The Mediterranean is also the most popular tourist destination with 170 million people visiting each year. Coastal areas and natural resources are facing severe pressures from over-crowding and unrestrained development.
Some 48% of urban centres lack sewage treatment facilities and around 80% of wastewater is disposed of in the sea untreated, which means that a load of more than 3 billion cubic metres of untreated waters enters the sea every year.
Each person generates 254 kg of solid waste per year, in average, with an annual growth of 2-3%. 30–40 million tonnes per year come from the coast. This includes household waste, paper, glass, and plastic which accounts for 75% of waste in the sea.
Integrated Coastal Area Management aims to deal with coastal area problems collectively on the understanding that they are interlinked. It relies on the involvement of a range of sectors, stakeholders and administrative levels.
MAP, through its PAP/RAC center is moving to integrate sustainable management into planning and development activities by implementing Coastal Area Management Programmes (CAMPs), individual problem-solving projects in the worst affected coastal areas.
Since 1990, 13 CAMP projects have been completed in Albania, Algeria, Croatia (Kastela Bay), Cyprus, Egypt (Fuka-Matrouh), Greece (Rhodes), Israel, Lebanon, Malta, Slovenia, Syria, Tunisia (Sfax), and Turkey (Izmir Bay). Two more are currently being implemented in Spain and Morocco.
ICZM Protocol – a new legal instrument The finalisation of the new Protocol on ICZM is currently one of the priorities of PAP/RAC. A Working Group of experts designated by the governments has been meeting to draft the text that will be submitted for adoption to the Conference of Parties in January 2008.
Preserving the Mediterranean marine and coastal biodiversity
The protection of endangered and threatened species in the Mediterranean is crucial. Most threats are human-related therefore public support is a key factor. The preservation of the region's biodiversity, rare or fragile ecosystems, species of wild fauna and flora and their habitats, is one of MAP's main areas of interest and action, that has gained wide recognition and support.
The SPA and Biodiversity Protocol commits the Contracting Parties to support actions to protect and enhance natural and cultural heritage, in particular to promote the establishment and preservation of Specially Protected Areas and to incorporate the conservation of biological diversity into their national policies.
Several Action Plans have been established and are being implemented by MAP's SPA/RAC center. They concern the conservation of threatened species in the Mediterranean: Cetaceans, marine turtles --in particular the green turtle Chelonia mydas), marine vegetation, cartilaginous fish --such as sharks, marine bird species, as well as an Action Plan on the introduction of non-indigenous species, to regulate the intentional or accidental introduction of non-indigenous or genetically-modified species to the wild and prohibit those that may have harmful impacts on ecosystems, habitats or species.
Promoting information and communication
MAP's efforts aim at increasing and improving the flow of information on the environment and on the MAP to the governments and national and international institutions and to promote greater public awareness on these issues. It promotes Public Participation as a key element in the decision-making process at national and local levels.
MAP also provides public information on the scientific and technical data and information and through its INFO/RAC Regional Activity Center promotes and encourages public information at national levels, to back up information and awareness campaigns on the environment and sustainable development.
MAP is developing an ambitious international information strategy, reaching-out to broader audiences and especially youth, using dissemination methods like the Internet and multilingual publications.
Safeguarding cultural heritage
The Mediterranean coasts feature the world's greatest concentration of historic sites and monuments, the rich legacy of thousands of years of successive civilizations, trade, conquests and conflicts.
While Historic sites may be at risk of degradation from natural causes, the sustainability of historic sites is also threatened by the sheer volume of visitors as well as by the impacts of air and atmospheric pollution. Underwater sites are also vulnerable to waste-dumping and dredging activities.
The Programme for the Protection of Coastal Historic Sites (100 HS) seeks to help protect historic sites of common Mediterranean interest identified by the Contracting Parties on the basis of approved selection criteria. The Programme concentrates its work on sites that are on the list of 100 Historic Sites in various Mediterranean coastal states and offers training in optimal site management practices.

We've never seen anything quite like it in this town: A private viewing, of sorts, of four candidates for mayor of Houston, by an audience (two members of which arrived by stretch limousine) that enjoyed valet parking, hors d'ouevres and drinks along with campaign rhetoric.
Standing under the oval of an entryway's double staircase, candidates Gene Locke, Peter Brown, Annise Parker and Roy Morales spoke to the invitation-only group of about 50 people tonight at the westside home of investor Marty McVey, a bigtime contributor to national and local Democratic campaigns.
McVey joined political activist/socialite Joanne King Herring and Karen Hofmeister, wife of former Shell Oil chief John Hofmeister, in hosting the event, in a gated home behind a security team's kiosk, for an eclectic collection of philanthropists, business executives, lawyers, two former U.S. ambassadors and others.
The goal, according to McVey, was to let this rarified group, most of it undecided in this early stage of the race, mix and chat with the contenders. Herring, portrayed by Julia Roberts in the film Charlie Wilson's War, declared that a mayor's race is where one's vote really counts, because it affects what goes on right outside the door. She also cheered for better mass transit and lower property taxes.
As our Chronicle colleague Shelby Hodge might report on the society beat, in the crowd were lawyer Barbara Radnofsky, who has filed paperwork to run as a Democrat for state attorney general in 2010, four years after losing the U.S. Senate race to incumbent Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison . . . commercial real estater Robert J. Brock and water exec wife Amanda Martin Brock, late of the Enron saga . . . charity fund-raiser Carolyn Farb and many other triple-dot, bold-faced names.
As the relatively brief speech-making unfolded, we heard Morales say he's not much of a fan of Metro's light rail system; Parker said Metro lacked transparency in its financial dealings with public money; Locke said Metro still needs to strengthen its bus service and provide shelters at the stops; Brown said the city should work against the city's entrenched "car culture."
The candidates also laid out their resumes and some general visionary statements about improving the future of the city, leaving some of the voters present to confide afterward that the forum was helpful but did not lead them to a conclusion about which contender to support.
All we knew as we left was that it was probably the last time the mayoral candidates will gather this year in a single residential showcase.

Shooting up a Unitarian church in the name of demented Christian fundamentalism?
An unemployed truck driver seething over liberalism told police he opened fire in a church last year because it harbored gays and multiracial families and he hoped others would follow his example.
Prosecutors opened their case file Thursday on Jim David Adkisson, 58, who pleaded guilty a month ago to killing two people and wounding six others at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville. The file includes interviews with investigators and a suicide note Adkisson left in his car.
"They just glory (in) these weirdos and sickos and homos," he said in an interview recorded by investigators.
He also railed against the Unitarian Church: "That ain't a church, that's a damned cult," Adkisson said.
The Knoxville church said in a statement Thursday that the congregation was still healing and that many hoped Adkisson would also "be healed of whatever motivated his actions."
Adkisson walked into the church, pulled a sawed-off shotgun from a guitar case and fired into a congregation of about 230 people watching a children's musical performance.
I suppose that's Godly behavior if you're an adherent of the Fred Phelps Church of the Inbred, Homophobic, Asshole, but for the rest of us it more resembles the real face of evil in the world.
Phelps, his followers, and bastards like Adkisson are going to have a lot to answer if God really does exist.

FLOYDADA - The juvenile probation chief in Briscoe, Dickens, Floyd and Motley counties is looking into converting the abandoned Floydada hospital into a secure 50-bed juvenile detention facility.
Bruce Ballou said he began circulating surveys in Floyd County last week to measure support for such a facility.
Ballou said 74 surveys were returned so far, with 58 supporting the proposal.
The Floydada hospital district owns the building and is interested in leasing or selling the building to the county, Ballou said.
"The next step is getting the building appraised, and once that's done, I assume, negotiations will begin," he said.
A recent community meeting on the issue showed that some residents in the neighborhood of the proposed facility oppose the idea, Ballou said.
"The predominant reason they gave was security of the neighborhood," Ballou said. "They felt like their homes and children would be at risk. But if you lock the doors, there's not much risk."
The four-county area currently has a non-secure 12-bed facility for juvenile offenders, Ballou said.
"They are general (non-violent) offenders that agree to follow the program," Ballou said. "We have no locked doors." The racial monitoring agency of the United Methodist Church is debating how best to protest the use of Native American names as sports mascots, the United Methodist News Service reported recently.
The group said it believes the Native American mascots are demeaning to an entire race of people who too often are depicted as violent and aggressive.
Several Panhandle-area schools use Native American nicknames for their sports teams, but at least two - Booker and West Texas High School - have secured the blessing of tribes they depict.
West Texas High School had a formal ceremony in 1989 in which the Comanche Nation issued a proclamation and adopted the WT Comanches, school superintendent Robin Adkins said.
Representatives from the Comanche Nation visited the school since then and recently presented school officials with a "spirit stick," which was used in a pep rally before a football game.
"This is not a mascot situation," Adkins said. "It's a symbol. We don't have a student who dresses up. We're not perfect, but we do recognize that they have granted us the use of their nation as a symbol."
Adkins said WT High does not have an official emblem depicting the Comanche, but his school business card features a picture of a warrior on horseback.
"I think it's a powerful picture tied to the history of the Comanche warrior as lords of the plains and skilled horsemen," he said. "It's not denigrating in any way."
Officials representing the Kiowa tribe performed dance routines at Booker High School in 1991 and gave the school a spear and a shield, according to the school's yearbook.
Booker's nickname is the Kiowas.
