Although it's still unknown to many travelers, Salvador is considered Brazil's most gay-friendly city. It doesn't have the glitter of Rio de Janeiro or the size of São Paulo, but for years this northern city has burnished a reputation for having an easygoing attitude about gays. Salvador is home to the country's oldest gay rights and human rights organization in Brazil, the Grupo Gay da Bahia. Salvador's Gay Pride Parade is now one of the largest in Brazil, drawing approximately 500,000 people the second Sunday of each September. Another event, Interacional do Orgulho Gay, takes place at the end of June. For the Hell & Heaven party, an annual long weekend of electronic dance music each November, people come from all over the world for one of Brazil's biggest annual gay events.
"Carnaval" is another huge event with many streets, squares and avenues closed for the events, including 11 km strictly for parades. For six days and nights just before Lent, the whole city comes into the streets to sing and dance to exhaustion. The Guinness Book of Records ranks this as the biggest street party on the planet, with around 2 million people participating.
The St John's, or Sao Joao de Pelo, festival, following the summer solstice at the end of June, and New Year's Eve are occasions for more big gatherings, parties, fireworks and music events in Salvador, and other towns and cities all over Bahia.
Established in 1549, Salvador was larger and wealthier than any North American city at the time of US independence. Now one of Brazil's most intoxicating cities, it is more different from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo than most first-timers could imagine. The population is overwhelmingly descended from Africans or racially mixed, with a completely different cultural vibe, and visitors can be suprised by the warm welcomes they're likely to receive. The capital of Brazil until 1763, the city remained outside the mainstream of Brazilian industrialization, becoming instead a cultural center, and now a tourist destination second only to Rio.
The city is gorgeous, a United Nations World Heritage Site divided into Cidade Alta ("Upper Town") and Cidade Baixa ("Lower Town"). Pelourinho, the 'old town,' sits on the bluff above the port with the largest concentration of colonial–era buildings in the New World --among them several magnificent cathedrals. Traveling between the two levels you'll most likely take the century-old lift, called the Elevador Lacerda, Brazil's first elevator.
Hotel prices, even for beachfront locations, are quite inexpensive, and the constantly changing choices of bars, restaurants, cafes, and discos provide food, entertainment and a chance to meet the locals. For faster and more intimate contact there are eight or so gay saunas catering to various tastes. Extras, besides the usual steam rooms, saunas, Jacuzzis, bars, cafes, videos, cabins and dark rooms, include massage, strip shows, special parties, and the services of free-lance escorts. The larger complexes have websites for checking ahead.
Getting here
Salvador Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães International Airport is about 12 miles north of Salvador, with many domestic flights and some international connections. Buses and taxis bring you downtown.
Getting around
You can get around the city by way of the Metro de Salvador system now being built, or on buses that run constantly on main streets - until around midnight. Taxis often are off the meter, especially late at night when you most need them, so agree on price before starting out. For checking out the many interesting towns nearby you might want to rent a car, but city driving and parking can be a hassle.
With a tropical rainforest climate, Salvador's temperatures are quite constant throughout the year, usually in the upper or lower 80's F (25-30 C), and humid. February is the driest month, May to July are wettest. Not surprisingly the beaches are the most popular places to relax here, and people of all sizes, ages and shapes wear bikinis or speedos. Guys are as body-conscious as girls in looking sexy. O Globo, Rio's daily paper, reports that Brazilians spend 45 minutes, on average, in making love -- they compare that to just 6 minutes for Americans.
There are 31 miles (50 km) of beaches between Cidade Alta and Cidade Baixa. Grupo Gay recommends Porto da Barra beach, the most urban stretch of sand. Britain's Guardian newspaper, in 2007, rated this 3rd in their world's best list. Weekdays are quieter, with young artist/students types, but from Saturday afternoon through Sundays it's crowded and gay, epecially around the grand staircase connecting the beach to the avenue above. Buses between Pelourinho and Porto da Barra stop at 11pm.
Praia dos Artistas, near the Sport Club Bahia at Boca do Rio, is also festooned with rainbow flags during the crowded weekends. There are food and drinks tents, music, light shows and lots of flirting taking place in the generally young local crowd. Street-smart caution is advised if leaving after 9pm.
Currency and Money
The Brazillian real (meaning "royal") is the local currency. The coins are divided into the same denominations as most currencies, so getting to know the local money is easy.
Personal Safety
Foreign visitors are considered rich by local standards, and drunks and loners in particular soon get noticed. But with care the situation need not spoil your vacation. Areas such as Pelourinho and Mercado Modelo, as well as the main popular festivals like the Carnival, are generally safe for tourists on the streets, but others like the Barra harbor area, especially at night, can be more iffy. Take cabs and stick with the crowd. Likewise, the beach at night should be avoided. Even in daylight carry only what you'll need, keep your bag, wallet and passport close, and camera or iPhones out of sight. Good pickpockets are like gifted magicians, and long gone before you realize anything's wrong. Cruise with care; if all goes well a "gift" will likely be expected by your partner as he leaves --even if met in a bar or sauna, so sort things out ahead of time. Getting into a car alone with strangers is risky and potentially expensive. For more advice on cruising see the local gay media.
Media & resources
Mix Brazil has information on the gay scene all across Brazil. Locals turn to Grupo Gay da Bahia for GLBT news and activities in Salvador.
Salvador-Brazil has pages about gay life, as well as general tourist information. Salvador.info and Bahia.com.br are two more general tourist websites, gay-friendly, with English language pages.
For gay and gay-friendly businesses, locations and website links, see our maps & listings section.

Reviews & ratings
I couldn't disagree with James B and JB more. I found this funny, intriguing and ultimately very moving. I thought Andrzej's review spot on: just how I felt. BUT on a second viewing I wasn't so convinced. The audience seemed to have the attention span of gnats and bladders the size of peas: so that was a (horrible) distraction. Perhaps once you've experienced the 'Sliding Doors' device it seems, well, a little mechanical. That said the performers still offered a masterclass in acting, which in itself was a treat to experience again.
KHC Thu Jan 3Rated as: 5/5 -
Fun to see 'James B' and 'JB' are agreeing with each other about my lack of judgement - I wonder what else you might have in common..?
Andrzej Wed Jan 2 -
Amateurish and plain boring - I left half way through together with another couple of similarly bored viewers. The show looked like a cheap student production at the Edinburgh Fringe. I also agree with the previous comment about the questionable judgment of the Time Out critic.
JB Sat Dec 29 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
Totally agree with Carly Simmons and Alexander.
Plus I could not empathise with the characters and didn't care what happened to either of them. Makes me concerned about the judgement of Time Out theatre critic to merit such mediocrity with a CCJames B Fri Dec 21 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
amazing play.made me laugh and cry-not at the same time lol
Great review as well.Go and see it before 5th January 2013szymon swiatek Sat Dec 15 2012 -
Great concept but that's where it ends. The dialogue isn't good enough to withstand several repetitions, and the relationship isn't particularly charming or engaging. Plus Sally Hawkins' obvious eating disorder made her acting uncomfortable to watch.
Carly Simmons Tue Dec 11 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
Thoroughly enjoyed this play. Sally Hawkins and Rafe Spall were outstanding. Highly recommended.
Deb Wed Dec 5 2012 -
Funny, poignant and utterly absorbing...this play enthralled me from start to finish. The acting was brilliant especially Sally Hawkins who made me laugh then made me cry...an emotional roller coaster of great writing and acting.
Mary Fri Nov 30 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
I got the parallel universes concept immediately. The play went on to show how this concept might be manifested with variations on a theme. Even though the play was short, the repetition of the variations was difficult to endure. I am sure that it was demanding for the actors. What a shame that the material is not worthy.

Rockville rallied to edge Attica 3-2 and Covington defeated Riverton Parke 12-2, scoring eight runs in the seventh inning. The Rox took a 14-15 record into the title tilt while Covington was 3-23.
Due to rain, the championship game was postponed. A decision was expected this morning whether the game will be played today or Wednesday.
Attica made the most of one hit and three walks to take a 2-0 lead in the second inning of the opening game and held that lead until the seventh stanza.
John Brown was safe on an error to open the Rox seventh and Dalton Clark followed with his second hit of the contest. Nick Waltz socked a two-out double to tie the game and he was driven in by Brandon Cooper for the winning run.
Clark pitched the final two inning to get the win, improving to 6-3. He struck out two batters in the sixth and struck out the side in the final frame.
The Rox and Red Ramblers had split two games during the season.
Riverton Parke took a 1-0 lead in the second game against Covington but the Trojans plated four runs with two outs in second stanza to assume the lead as the Panthers turned the only double play of the game.
Karson Allen drove in two runs with the only hit of the frame after two batters were hit by pitches, two were issued walks and one reached base on a muffed third strike.
Dakota Milner came on in relief in the second inning and pitched two-baseball for four innings until the Trojan bats came alive in the seventh.
Luther Mathas and Brian Obenchain each had two hits for the Panthers.

Patriots get past Vikings for coach Frisz's 300th victory
By guiding Terre Haute North over host West Vigo 48-30 in high school wrestling Wednesday night inside the Green Dome, Mark Frisz chalked up the 300th victory of his 24-year coaching career.

North gets past Knights in boys basketball
With a huge size advantage on the program roster, you wouldn't need to be Dr. James Naismith to figure out Northview's strategy Tuesday night against a much shorter Terre Haute North team in boys high school basketball.
Pound the ball inside.
That plan worked well early on, as the visiting Knights bolted out of the gates to an early advantage.
The Patriots hung tough, though, and thanks to some clutch play off the bench from Braxton Poore and Andrew Farmer in the second quarter, delivered a knockout punch from which Northview could never recover.
North used a balanced scoring attack and an almost flawless floor game to record an easier-than-expected 68-43 victory. -
Vikings prevail over South Vermillion
Hayden Corenflos was not the tallest player on the court Tuesday night, but he was always close to the rim while leading West Vigo to a 50-36 victory over visiting South Vermillion in boys high school basketball inside the Green Dome.
Corenflos scored 21 points without taking a shot from outside the lane in the Vikings' second win of the season. -

After falling behind 14-2 after one quarter, Robinson's Maroons bounced back to make it a game at Terre Haute North on Saturday night.

e-learning @ UHM
Available Courses Learning Resources FAQ Indonesian at UH Instructors
The University of Hawaii at Manoa offers three dedicated distance education e-learning courses for beginning to advanced Indonesian. These courses were developed between 2003 and 2013 by a team of instructors and methodologists under the supervision of Dr. Uli Kozok, coordinator of the Indonesian language program at the University of Hawaii.
ANNOUNCEMENT: This site has moved. Click here to enroll in Bahasa Indonesia Online.
The lessons of the three courses are based on the theory that language learners need to notice the language forms in a natural context and then practice using the targeted structures in a meaningful and communicative way. This means learners should be exposed to a variety of texts, focussing first on the meaning, then analysing the texts for appropriate language patterns, and finally practising using the patterns themselves in a similar context.
The courses offered are available not only to UH students but to anyone anywhere. You can conveniently enrol through UH Outreach College.

The home of the Masters has invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first women in green jackets when the club opens for a new season in October.
Both women have accepted. The invitations end a 10-year controversy that began when former club chairman Hootie Johnson said the club would not be pressured "at the point of a bayonet" to change its all-male membership.
Rice and Moore released statements Monday about accepting their invitations to join the club.
"Golf is a wonderful source of enjoyment for me, and I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to grow my love for this great game," said Rice.
"I am extremely grateful for this privilege," said Moore.
Augusta National chairman Billy Payne described Monday's announcement as a "joyous occasion" as he took the rare step of confirming its latest two members. He says it is a "significant and positive time" at the club. Augusta typically does not discuss membership.

Adam Scott is counting on even more hard work to help him convert Sunday heroics into a major championship title.
For a second straight year, 2011 runner-up Scott produced a great final round of the Masters.
His Masters' personal best of six-under-par 66, including a hole-in-one on the 16th, was never going to threaten for the title but it did rocket him into a tie for eighth, guaranteeing his invitation to try again in 2013.
In contrast to 2011, Scott battled putting problems with his broomstick blade through the first three rounds before finding an answer on Sunday by holing out twice without using the putter in consecutive holes.
He aced the 16th with a precision seven iron and then chipped in on the 17th for another birdie to close out a seven-under run over his final 12 holes.
"I'm really happy to leave having my best round ever at Augusta, but a little disappointed that I couldn't put it together earlier in the week," Scott said.
"I really feel comfortable coming out here. I feel like I have these kinds of rounds in me.
"This week I didn't have a good pace on the greens; therefore, I hit a lot of good putts, I felt, that didn't go in.
"And then hit a few bad ones and that's costly at the end of the week because I think about my three putts."
Scott said his red-hot round would further motivate him as he heads to South Korea to play the Ballantine's Championship later this month before returning to the US tour for the Players Championship in May.
"Knowing I could've been right there, that's the positive," he said.
"I've got to make that a positive and I've got to just figure out how to get out of the gate better on Thursday and not have to work so hard to get back in the tournament.
"For me now, I just have to work a bit harder. I think that's the only answer.
"I feel like I'm doing all the right things. It just didn't happen this week and you have got to make it happen somehow."
Geoff Ogilvy (71) was the next best Australian in a tie for 19th at even-par while Aaron Baddeley (74) finished at five-over and tied 40th.

We will be conducting an interview with Tyler Moeller and I wanted to tap into the community to see if you had any questions you would want us to ask. I've always admired the community-driven interviews from Slashdot and Reddit, so we'll take the best questions in this thread and pass them on to Tyler.
Tyler Moeller Interview
I wish I could think of a question that was actually unique and interesting instead of the simple but over-asked stuff like "what was it like sitting on the sideline watching your team knowing you couldn't play??" ...not that there is anything wrong with those. I just find personal questions more interesting, and those are why some of Reddit's AMAs are awesome. Maybe ask about his train set... haha
@Statutoryglory I am probably one of the only few students on campus to own his #26 jersey. After last year, I understand your point. However, during 2010 when he was our leading tackler and best defensive player until he got hurt againt, it was really hard not to like him due to his effort and everything he went through.
I think it's unfair to call him "overrated", just because he went through a lot of crap. Maybe the biggest "fan favorite without ever doing much"? Sounds a bit nicer to a classy guy. Wish him the best of luck after college.
Don't give up... Don't ever give up.
I don't think he was overrated at all. Infact, it's pretty remarkable that he came back to play last year. He's really lucky to be alive and well first. Maybe getting back to football helped him recover, but football wasn't too important there for a while, surviving a brain trauma was though. Then when he was playing well, he gets injured and misses most of the season. Then all the BS with the program before his final season. Has a player ever gone through so much turmoil? To me, his story is amazing, he's the kind of guy you want around your program long after he plays and moves on.
Plus, everyone knows there are plenty of Buckeyes ever that are more overrated. Hell, I can think of several O-linemen, Mo Wells, T-Washington, Small, and the true most overrated player ever to this point anyway........SABINO
Ask him who he wants to play the role of Tyler Moeller in his movie. Seriously, his story is more inspirational than Rudy. Sean Astin? Please. I mean seriously, only a movie involving Notre Dame would use a clown like that. We're talking about a guy who played a Hobbit and the brother on 50 first dates for crying out loud. For him, it was all down hill after Goonies.
I guess my question for him would pertain to being there during what could be considered the height of the Tressel era and then watching it all unravel. His perspective has to be an interesting one. I'm sure he didnt think in a million years he'd be there AFTER tress.
I know there's a game saturday, and my ass will be there.
There was a lot of racial tension that was discussed after the Florida game. Jamaal Berry is accused of using derogatory remarks toward a white male that he is reported to have assaulted. Tyler was very outspoken against T. Pryor as a Sophomore then gave him praise as a Junior and is known for being outspoken on various subjects. T. Moeller has made the comment that he is pretty fast for a white guy. My question is, is there racial division on this team? Was the team divided this past year due to the adversity? Was there division between the offense and the defense due to the majority of the infractions occurring on the offensive side of the ball? As a team it is hard to take responsibility for the mistakes of everyone else around you but that is what good teams do, they play as one. We did not look like that team last year. I want to hear an honest appraisal of the teams cohesiveness and the reasons for the regression and inconsistency that the team displayed last year.
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
Not sure how he went from being one of the fastest guys on the team with a 4.47 40yd to PHXbucky calling him slow.
Just saw over on Scout that he lis listed on the Woody Hayes Center Record Board 4.47 and 26 x 225lb Bench. Enjoyed watching you and too bad your senior season wasn't as healthy as you would of liked and the team wasn't as successful as expected.
If you were comletely healthy would you be working out for NFL Teams ?
Tyler I enjoyed watching since your Colerain days.......well not really as I am an Elder fan! You had some great games, great plays and showed great heart in face of all the adversity you faced.
The defense just looked "off" this season. Why do you think that was? Did the loss of Nathan Williams effect the game plan that much?
Thought you were going to have your 6th win over Michigan, almost. You played a good last game against them, your stop at the goal line unfortunately didn't turn into a score for the Buckeyes.

Friday Saturday Sunday
Online Reservations
Many old favorites now enlivened with new selections
Went here for restaurant week with a party of 4. It was a later dinner, but we were seated right away and the food was brought out in a very timely fashion. Portions were smaller, but that can be expected for restaurant week. Rest assured, I will be going back.
Cozy, comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a tasty meal. Cream of mushroom soup was a great starter.
I have lost count on how many times I have eaten here since it opened. I have never had a bad meal. My latest trip was during restaurant week--you can't beat the value and the quality.
This bistro with the unusual name treats you like family. The food is well prepared and a great value. The highlight of a meal are the deserts. The variety and quality were unexpected and a welcome find. The room is small and can get noisy so small groups under 6 would work. Best to go mid-week given the tight quarters.
I cannot say enough about this place. The upstairs wait staff (Gregory and company) is amazing. They tend to the Tank Bar and the upstairs seating area and they are friendly, courteous, entertaining and professional. I am one of those people that request the same table every time I go here and I go to Friday Saturday Sunday for every romantic occasion - First date, birthdays, my engagement - it's a fabulous place and the food is amazing. They also participate in restaurant week which is just another reason for me to stop in and visit. You can also make special requests through open table and FriSatSun always accommodates.
This was our first visit here...it is a bit cramped and there are some tables I would NOT want to sit at (right in the way-in corridor), but other than that, it was a delightful meal. Service was fast and pleasant. Will go back!
Went down for our 30th, the food was excellent, service good and very friendly, and the prices were great, especially considering how close to Rittenhouse , where the prices are double for the same food. Excellent, highly recommend it.
Our dinner group of 4 all had meals from the three course Restaurant Week dinner menu and the meals were very good. We thought the price for cocktails and wine by the glass were very high, before the 10% tax was added. We appreciated the lower noise level as it made table conversation enjoyable.
excellent food and friendly service, my pork tenderloin was perfect, a neighborhood treasure
Great food and friendly and attentive staff!! Really enjoyed our evening! Never felt rushed and the atmosphere was Energetic and allowed conversation within the group! Liked the decor!
I brought a date here on a Friday night. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent. I had the lamb chops and she had the filet and both were delicious. Nice wine selection, great atmosphere. It was lively yet intimate, and we were able to enjoy our conversations. Definitely strongly recommend this spot, can be great for a date or a group night out.
Very special evening and wonderful service..highly recommend this intimate wonderful restaurant!!
We Have enjoyed Friday Saturday Sunday Many times in the past and this was no different. From the bartender in the tank bar, our evening started out great. We sat down for dinner and enjoyed everything. The service was Inpecable as usual. Food was delicious. The only regret was that we ate too much and had no room for dessert. Bravo to this wonderful Gem!!
Best neighborhood gem in center city! Love the specials, the reasonable wine list, and the nice owners.
This place is so much fun. Great wait staff, good food, nice ambiance.
Friday Saturday Sunday used to be our favorite restaurant when we lived around the corner from it back in the 1970's, before we moved to California, and every time we come back to Philadelphia, we eat there and are reminded of why it was. The mushroom soup is a signature dish and the daily specials are always interesting and flavorful. This time we went with our new grandson who is two weeks old. We came in at around 5:30 PM and the baby didn't faze the staff at all. At that time there were very few other diners and the restaurant was reasonably quiet. Our grandson slept the entire time while we enjoyed a great dinner! We'd recommend this restaurant unhesitatingly to anyone looking for an excellent Rittenhouse Square dining experience.
I was first at this restaurant in approximately 1978. Had a great overall experience and the best roast Duck to that point in my life. Over the years I've been back about 6 times. I do not live in the Philly area. Went there prior to surgery at Thomas Jefferson Hosipal on 10/7/13. Amazingly .... Still the same. Great Duck, mushroom soup and pâté . And the service was a WOW... Also.
Great ambiance. Excellent service from a friendly & attentive staff. Timely arrival of food. Knowledgable wait staff. Cozy atmosphere. Good lighting. Good food. Nice selection.
Fri Sat Sun is a Philadelphia institution. A private restaurant that has not become absorbed by a corporate restaurant chain, it remains unique and unwavering in its dedication to fine food and dining. The upstairs Tank Bar is sublimely quaint and has a separate bar (as the name suggests).Though Fri Sat Sun is one of Philly's most popular, it remains a true Rittenhouse neighborhood gem. Here's to another successful 40 years.
The food was fabulous and of course don't miss the mushroom soup. I was particularly impressed by the service. we were not rushed but she seemed to be there whenever we needed her, calm and smiling. At dinner time on Sunday there were almost no children around which is unusual for Rittenhouse Square. Definitely a grown-up restaurant and one we'll be sure to revisit.
their mushroom soup was the best ever! also, my rack of lamb was delicious, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I always enjoy my meals there.
I run out of superlatives for FSS. I had dinner on Fri. with a friend of 40+ years who used to live in Phila.& was here for a visit. He & I used to eat at FSS all the time when he lived here--indeed we met through mutual friends here back in 1972 when the restaurant opened. I have, without exgeration, over the years eaten here more than a 100 times. I have never had a bad meal. I have never had anything less than 5 star service. I have always had a wonderful night out thanks to the staff. Phila. can be a fickle town, & making a go of it in the restaurant business is often hard. But FSS has stood the test of time for one simple reason: it is as far as I am concerned the best damn restaurant in town & has been so for decades.
While we had not eaten there in over a year, and before that maybe ten years, the dinner was very nice. I can't ever recall a bad meal. The service was attentive, even at a peak seating time; we were warmly greeted; and I do not know why we stopped going there on a regular basis. MAybe a bit out of the way, but we enjoyed and will have to go back soon again.
I'm always surprised that there are people who don't know about this restaurant given its relatively long history as part of Philadelphia's great restaurant renaissance. I'm also pleasantly surprised at how good the place stays year after year. Great food, superb service, and an intimate feel. Great as a romantic spot. In fact, I proposed to my wife at this restaurant. And we keep coming back. (Don't miss the famous "tank bar" on the second floor.)
Had a great Halloween night dinner at FriSatSun. Although my dinner partner was late, they were very accomodating as I waited and couldn't have been nicer. The food, as always, was delicious.
Fantastic service, great food and great for a date night out!
We enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience. A nice way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Never disappointed here. Small menu but always a plethora of specials. Enjoyed the braised lamb which was falling off the bone with wonderful taste & accompiants. Definitely good service, wonderful food & quiet peaceful environment.
It is a crowded restaurant but with a fun lively vibe. We ordered wine by the glass and it came quickly. For an appetizer, we had the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp was delicous but the cocktail sauce was a little bland- needed more horseradish. For entrees we order the lamb and the filet. Both were cooked perfectly and were declicous. For dessert, we had the grand marnier creme brulee which was fantastic. I woudl definitely recommend it this restaurant.
Been coming here for years. It's always wonderful. Despite being packed and needing a reservations days in advance for the weekend, I never feel rushed.
The food here is consistently good. The service outstanding. And, its ambience is charming.
Old menu favorites complemented by new selections.
One of our absolute fave places to dine in the city.. food is always fabulous, service and atmosphere too! Tank Bar gets crowded so go early or be prepared to stand and wait for a seat, but it's well worth the wait!
This is just a jewel in our city. Everything is super delicious and the people are very friendly and careful. I love going there.
Had such a great dinner. Food was DELISCIOUS, staff was friendly. I will definitely head back soon
I used to eat there years ago quite often and always loved the experience. So glad I remembered how good the restaurant is and that it hasn't changed. Best mushroom soup, delicious and innovative food selections.
I had a terrific date night here last weekend. Wonderful food as always, and the service was really excellent. Nice cozy table inside on a cold night was just a wonderful place for a romantic meal! I had the filet, and my girlfriend had a fish dish that was to die for. Great wine list too.
This little gem of a restaurant is in a mostly residential area of lovely brick row houses, four blocks from a parking lot. It's not laager, but the decor was amusing and attractive, the staff was solicitous, and the food was excellent with generous portions. I had the coffee braised short ribs, and they were delicious, one of the best meals I'd had in months. I also had the raw spinach and Brussels sprouts salad with blue cheese and pancetta, which was also wonderful. My girlfriend had the broiled cod, and loved it. This place is worth the effort.
I searched the internet for weeks for the right place to take a coworker on our first date in 2009. It was the most romantic and intimate experience we both had ever had. The food was awesome and the service outstanding. We have now been married for over two years and have come back annually to celebrate that first date. This recent celebration was just as special. We now frequent and enjoy fine dining often but no other restaurant has shown the same consistency and quality of food, ambiance, and service we have found at FSS. I rarely write reviews but to not share with others what a special place this is would be to deny the love I have found and the life I now enjoy. It was love at first bite.
My wife and I eat in center city and no. Lib. a lot First time here, won a gift cert. at a CF fund raiser. Glad we did , will go back and tell friends.
really outstanding food, decent prices (though not cheap, worth the $$$), and a very pleasant room and excellent service. no complaints at all - we'll definitely be back.
Took a friend to dinner. The reception was so cordial, as usual, and the food delis. The special on the board, the short ribs, was crazy good.
This is a place were I would like visit more times and especially when we have guests from our home country. Good food and a nice relaxing feeling. Realy lovit.
I was a loyal customer when I lived in the neighborhood over 30 years ago. Dining here with friends on a visit to Philadelphia was a great experience. Everyone in our party gave top ratings to their entrees and the mushroom soup was as delicious as I remember it. Varied menu, accommodating waiter and moderate noise level upstairs made it a memorable evening.
Always great food, great bar and awesome service.Wine at a reasonable price and interesting blackboard specials.
This place is one of my favorite restaurants in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. We enjoyed salad, mussels, and squash ravioli and excellent wine. I will return many times and recommend it to others.
Took my sweetie out for a celebratory diner after she was promoted at work. This was the perfect romantic venue with a good wine list, great food and service in an intimate setting. It was a memorable evening. The upstairs bar is a real gem for fancy cocktails! The portions and prices are reasonable, but we still managed to eat, drink and spend a bit too much (which is actually what we set out to do). I do not, however, hold our own gourmadise against the restaurant......we will go back!
Excellent and attentive wait staff were convivial and fully engaged. Food presentation was stellar. Tilapia and filet were outstanding. One star lost for dessert; we were underwhelmed by the berries in puff pastry and apple cake which held more cinnamon than apple! Ambiance rating took a hit because of very dim lighting and tables in too close proximity but we will return and recommend to others.
Such a wonderful meal! The cream of mushroom soup was out of this world!! Caesar salad and tilapia also delicious! The staff was extremely attentive. I would highly recommend Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Plagued: A Fantasy of Peril
The Lore
Three siblings rule over the planet, granted each one large continent of land by their father, the God of All Creation. These three siblings are named Ulrich, Urkwia and Ucen. As they often fought, their father ensured they would all be given the same amount of land to rule over if they could stay out of one another's way. Yet the God of All Creation secretly hoped the lands and his children would find their own way to make peace with one another. Ulrich is the eldest of the young Gods and rules over the Natural elements on his land called Ulrichia. There, people worship the God of Nature and are capable of wielding the elements of air, water, earth, etc. Urkwia is the middle Goddess between her two brothers and she was granted the gift of Darkness and thus is known as Urkwia, Goddess of Darkness. Her worshipers live in Urkwiasta, and thrive with space, time, necromancy, shadow-play, etc. The youngest God is Ucen and he was given rule over the last landmass called Ucena. He is called the God of Light and those who live in Ucena are able to use fire, lightning, etc. And for many years, the world was able to steadily move along through time, each of the lands (Ulrichia, Urkwiasta and Ucena) staying clear of one another that is until their bastard sister named Uuu, decided to have some fun. Uuu was never loved by her parents nor her three siblings, she was cast into the depths below, never given any land or people to rule over. So most forgot about her.
Uuu decided to have some fun, as she was bored, this trick of hers resulted in chaos for the world.
Since Ulrich, Urkwia and Ucen never got along, they could only suspect the trickery was caused by one of them and not their exiled sister, Uuu. In turn, each sibling punished their siblings land. Since Nature defeats Darkness, Ulrich sent a plague to harm Urkiasta. Since Darkness defeats Light, Urkwia sent a plague to harm Ucena. And since Light defeats Nature, Ucen sent a plague to harm Ulrichia. The three landmasses of the world were now at war with one another, religion and faith thrown into the wind of chaos. Before the God of All Creation could step in and subdue the wars and slander, Uuu killed him and vowed to take over the world and claim all lands as her own. Her real father's identity is unknown to her. She left her mother alive but is holding her captive. The three God of the World have no choice but to flee and find their mother and bastard sister, leaving their own lands to suffer in agony.
The Setup
Our story will begin at one of the few locations where plague, famine, etc have not reached.
Our characters will be ambassadors from each landmass, meeting on a large singular island known as the God of All Creation's Burial. There, people are safe from sickness and stress and combat. Our group will all have gotten a summons from their respective deity but upon arrival they soon discover it was The God of All Creation who summoned them before his death, not his children. The God of All Creation has personally selected individuals who he believed could bring harmony to a struggling world. A female historian by the name of Querene is waiting to escort the group around the globe to begin a series of tasking events to calm the troubled waters of the world. This female historian claims she was also summoned by The God of All Creation but unknown to our travelers and those gifted with magic, she is really Uuu, Damned Mistress of the Outlands. While her siblings let the world rot, she will be there to pick up the ruins and claim them as her own, even if it means masquerading as someone who really has faith in what has given her life misery.
The Technical
In the OOC, there will be an outline of how magic works, why it works, etc.
To sort of help you along before I put out too much thought in an IntChk, there will be spell books of various levels and factions of land and the magic someone rules over. It is entirely possibly to be well versed in several types of magic, in fact I kinda recommend it, however your level of expertise will have to be lower if you decide to know more general spells and not have one or two concentrated areas of study for magic. I'm pretty sure I'll use Latin for spells or maybe Greek or something like that. I will say that gems may be used to amplify spells cast or to hinder magic, for whatever reason. Our roles will be those who are at east in their upper twenties because let's face it, The God of All Creation wouldn't put the fate of the world in the hands of kids. He just wouldn't. Pay to mind to his children who can't get along hahaha. Anyway, when a spell is cast, it will be coming from an amulet someone is wearing, hence why more or less can make a difference to one's abilities. If their amulet is damaged, then they cannot cast magic and must repair it or find something new to use.
I'll also add in here that I foresee us as a small to medium group for the sake of wanting variety. So 3-4 spots will be open, depending if people double or not. (I always do and will probably triple for this one as I'll be Querene and maybe a couple more roles but I don't know for sure yet.) As far as character sheets go, this one will be fairly time consuming for the sake of weeding out lazy roleplayers and those who are actually interesting. The sheet will have three sections: the RPer, The RP'ers character and The Character. The first sections is brief, outlining the player themselves, a post sample, etc. The second section will be only slightly longer with the player describing their character in general terms. The last section is much longer and will consist of a lot of question/answer situations for the character themselves to answer so we can get a feel for how they'd react in situations, etc. And if the player understands the world enough. I know sometimes people can feel intimidated or not give their character enough thought so this is a way to ease someone into their role and help them out.
So if anyone is interested in knowing more, let me know. If someone can name the lesser known film where I may have gotten inspiration for this, feel free to try your luck! As a note, I am rebooting this as people get into a routine for the start of the academic year. I do have the old OOC on file which I will also reboot once interest is gained. I will be more cautious about who I approve, as I need active players who are also skilled. I don't mind if posts don't come every day or even every week but this has to move at some definitive steady pace even if it's just the OOC while we complain about life while still making a note to make IC posts whenever possible around our schedules. I am looking for a small cast, if you can double that's even better (less people to wait on but more roles to develop/interact) but it all will depend on the CS as a finished product. So again, if you honestly have free time and are interested, raise a hand and give a shout.

Email Experience Council Releases 'Retail Email Unsubscribe Benchmark Study'
January 25, 2007 The Email Experience Council (eec), the email marketing arm of the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), today announced the release of its first annual Retail Email Unsubscribe Benchmark Study. The new study examines the opt-out practices of 94 of the top online retailers tracked via RetailEmail.Blogspot.
This 30-page study dissects the unsubscribe process and examines its various elements, giving email marketers an in-depth look at all of the issues to consider, said Jeanniey Mullen, eec founder and a senior partner and executive director for Email and Dialogue Services at OgilvyOne worldwide. Its findings should be extremely valuable to retailers, service companies, and other B-to-C companies who are looking for new ideas and benchmarks against which to measure their own opt-out practices.
Email is a relationship channel, and opting out of the relationship is just another step in the lifecycle, said Kara Trivunovic, director of strategic services at Premiere Global Services Inc., the studys sponsor. Ignore it at your own peril.
Commenting on the eec study, DMA Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Ramesh Lakshmi-Ratan, Ph.D., said, A new marketing paradigm has emerged one in which the consumer is in control. In this environment regardless of the marketing channel employed the savvy marketer respects consumers needs and preferences, including, of course, honoring a persons choice to opt out of future solicitations. Those organizations that recognize and respond to consumers choices will find themselves the marketplace winners.
Increasingly, one of the most important benchmarks for your unsubscribe process should be the single click of the report spam button," said Chad White, the eecs director of retail insights, editor-at-large, and founder of RetailEmail.Blogspot, and the studys author. "Unfortunately, some consumers already regularly use it to unsubscribe from email that they no longer want. So if your process becomes confusing or cumbersome, consumers know they have that easy-to-use fallback. This makes it more important than ever to have a frictionless opt-out process.
The new study, which is available in the eecs Whitepaper Room, found that while major online retailers do a great job of honoring unsubscribe requests quickly, theres plenty of room for their opt-out processes to improve most notably in the areas of providing subscribers with alternatives to opting out and of lowering barriers to opting out.
For instance, only 66 percent of retailers use their opt-out processes to attempt to engage subscribers to ask why they want to opt out and few do more than a superficial job of it. When looking at opt-out barriers, only 9 percent of major online retailers employ a one-click unsubscribe process, while another 35 percent easily could, but dont.
Here are some other findings from the eecs Retail Email Unsubscribe Benchmark Study:
· More than 86 percent of retailers honored opt-outs within three days, with most of them effective immediately, as evidenced by the number of emails received after opting out.
· 4 percent of retailers were in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 by either failing to honor opt-outs or taking longer than 10 business days to do so.
· 73 percent of retailers sent no more emails after receiving an opt-out request.
· 16 percent of retailers gave those trying to opt-out an opportunity to reduce the frequency at which they would receive emails.
· 17 percent of retailers solicited feedback from those who had opted out.
The new eec study can be purchased for $179 by visiting the eecs Whitepaper Room at http://www.emailexperience.org/Login-Whitepaper-Room. Members of eec may obtain the report at a discounted rate and, as part of a special promotion, attendees of the eecs Email Evolution Conference can receive the study for free.

Over the years Mike Kivits, better known as Aardvarck, has built up a solid reputation of uncompromising quality and versatility in the dance scene, both underground and above. From hip hop, disco, funk, jazz & new wave in the early 80s up to the present (together with Steven de Peven from Rednose Distrikt) he's been in the avant-garde of all major dance styles. Aardvarck, inspired by Mr. Fingers' LP 'Amnesia', releases his first record 'The Second Groove 2 The Same Nation' on Miss Djax's Djax Up label in 1993.
His second outing,called 'Extra Voice EP' on Signum Recordings, hits the shops and dancefloors in 1996.
Always parsimonious with his own releases one had to wait another 4 years for a next Aardvarck-EP called 'Spoken'.
The label that has given a home to most of his music though is Delsin Records on which he released his first longplayer 'Find The Cow' in 2001, touching fields of broken beat, ambient and nu jazz. After a bunch of EPs on Delsin ('Non Spoken', 'Re Spoken', 'Nozum') and Rush Hour ('Cult Copy' 1-3), early 2006 sees the release of Aardvarck's second album 'Cult Copy' to worship one of his heroes: Carl Craig.

Contact ROJ: matt at roseofjericho dot com
I hereby officially request These City Lights. Thank you
Bloc Party.
I just bought the two new RBN2.0 songs and I really like them, but the (RB3 Version) in the title of one of them is making me wary of picking up any of the older songs. Are there any of them you have no plans to ever ramake so it's safe for me to buy them?
On the previous page.As for re-releases I can tell you currently here is whats in the works:
Take Me Away (RB3 Version)
Midnight Eyes (RB3 Version)
Romancing the Ordinary
[] Dizzy Mizz Lizzy [] Dover [] Guano Apes [] More Miley Cyrus
[] The Rasmus [] The Veronicas [] More Volbeat
At the moment i can't say exact which songs will or won't be upgraded. Since we are authoring our tracks ourself it comes down to when we can get time to do it. Please keep in mind that all of our RBN 1.0 songs are $1 and any upgraded version will also be $1. I realize everyone has a limited budget but if you like the music please consider supporting the band. If everyone holds on purchasing our RBN 1.0 songs, we are in trouble. A LOT of work went into those songs and I can guarantee you anything you buy at this point will not be replaced for a while (read weeks to months). It takes about 4 weeks for a song to get into the store from the time that we announce it.
Of course if you feel uncomfortable about downloading in Rock Band but you'd like to support the band you can always download our songs on iTunes or on CDbaby:

Thank you for the info, and I think I will buy them all after all, even if they'll eventually get replaced. I want to encourage any band that sells their songs on the Network for only $1, in the long run that helps my wallet a lot more.
Will you ever release any songs from the Applause of Wings album? It's my favourite Rose of Jericho album
Climate change? Let's ask the Pussycat Dolls they'll know what to do.
Well the recordings on that album were pretty low tech so getting stems might be an issue. But that doesn't necessarily mean we won't release anything off of it (I know, I just totally contradicted myself and thus gave you no idea as to whether we will release anything.) If you had to choose one song from Applause of Wings, which one would you want?

One year ago today, a young bearded Talib in Pakistan's Swat Valley boarded a school bus crammed with 20 girls and fired three shots heard 'round the world. In the 365 days since, Malala Yousafzai, the outspoken peace and education activist, has gone from lying in a hospital bed to addressing the United Nations on July 12, her 16th birthday, to now being the leading contender for the Nobel Peace Prize, whose winner will be announced on Friday.
But as much as the world loves Malala, could world peace actually be better advanced by awarding the prize to her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai? The founder of the girls' school Malala attended, he is an anomaly in his area of Pakistan - a progressive man who understands the value of educating girls. Without her dad, there would be no Malala, the confident, literate, English-speaking activist. Instead, she would most likely be lost among the four out of five girls in her region who don't go to school.
As Adam Ellick, a filmmaker who created a documentary featuring Malala before she became a household name, told Time, "[This] is a story about a father and a daughter, more than a story about a girl." Describing Ziauddin's education activism, Ellick said, "Her father has a sort of revolutionary commitment to his cause. He is an incredibly unique and complex person."
But for the status of women to improve, men with Ziauddin's mindset can't be unique; they must be commonplace. The cold, hard reality is that in areas of the world where men tyrannically hold all power, the situation of women and girls will only advance if men voluntarily relax their vise-like grip over women. This is what Foreign Policy contributor Christian Bayer Tygesen refers to as the "realist perspective on human rights." What he wrote about Afghanistan can just as well be applied to Malala's Swat Valley: "All Afghan girls should get an education, but unless the men ease their repressive dominance, half of the population will never have the opportunity to exercise their human rights."
We can create rap videos honoring Malala and bestow her with the world's top prizes, but at the end of the day, it's often men who execute the kind of change Malala is advocating. Less than a century ago, American women got the right to vote because a critical mass of men experienced "indigenous preference shifts," to use Tygesen's term. And that was in a country where suffragettes could at least freely organize and take to the streets en masse.
Malala's father himself acknowledges the crucial role that progressive men play in accelerating social change in male-dominated societies. In remarks this March in London, in which he made an analogy to whites' support for Martin Luther King's activism, he said, "In a male-dominated society, change will come and change could be initiated by men. . . . The journey which girls can travel in 100 years, if they are accompanied by their male partners - brothers, fathers - it could be just a few years, five years, six years."
Ziauddin Yousafzai has faced death threats. He has had to sleep away from home in order to stay alive and protect his family. Awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize would send the message that men in male-dominated societies who swim against the current to advance education and the status of females will be supported and cheered. His passionate efforts should make him as much of a Nobel Peace Prize candidate as Malala is.
