The nice crack right of the 2 all-bolted lines on the south end of the east face. It starts thin and hard, eases up, gets tough again, and finally eases up yet one more time. The bolt protects the upper crux, whereas down low the protection is tough to place. The top is very runout, but easy. Stemming and dropknees are a neccesity on this route.
There is 1 good bolt on the route. Otherwise bring small to medium gear. The anchors are a group of slings wrapped around a horn, so bring extras just in case. Also 2 ropes for the rap.
You can get down with 1 rope on this climb by using the 2 bolt anchor on the sport route to climbers' left.
Led this one the other day, and I have a different perspective.Very difficult to place pro down low, due to the lieback, however, you can slot a hex in the obvious constriction. Above the bolts, the gear is predominately large nut size, and I started running out, that is if you go all the way to the slung horn, which I recommend. Very runout at the finish, but also very easy. But as Guy says, use 1 rope, and do 2 rappels.
Good route solid for the grade
The "R" part happens at the top above all difficulties on terrain 5.5 or easier. Great route. From what little I recall, after the initial weird move off the deck, you can jam the crack (which becomes progressively more flaring) to the "funky bolts".
A little more than I bargained for for my warm-up route. Solid for the grade. I found it hard to protect the upper section, even before the 5.5 slab. Long pitch, 170-180 feet. Lieback? I didn't at all.
Actually, there are two bolts on the route but the first one is probably the name for the route. It is a beat SMC hanger with half of the bolt shaft hanging out and bent. A foot higher or so is a better bolt. Although the route goes higher to a slung horn you can move off left to use intermediate chains for TR and easy rappel. We had 70m cords and had no problem using 1 cord. A 60m should work, but beware. Susan
Fun route, but be solid at the grade. Not recommended for budding 5.9 leaders.
A Heady Lead especially up top. Worth the trip to the Horn. I recommend, going out left at the top. I went straight up found one last potential placement as passed it as my stance was above it and then cut out right onto lichen cover slab, Sketchy!
I was only able to get a few pieces of gear in the lower half that I actually felt confident about. The fact that the two bolts are so close to each other, and that one is old and badly bent tells me that someone probably took a huge whipper off the runout section and gave the older bolt hell. There's room for bigger gear on the second half. I threw in a #1 Camalot before making the 40ft runout to the horn. If you want there are a few small chicken heads that you can sling on the runout, but they're not needed.
my first 5.9 gear lead at the city. offsets were good for the flare at the bottom. very cool though and highly recommended.
Similar experience a few years back with this being one of my first 5.9 gear lines. Feel very strongly the R needs to be removed
Today I saw a guy break his ankle on this route by blowing the stemming moves above the bolt and hitting the 'slab' below. Ouch. On a more positive note, the lower crack, while flared in places, protects well.
Great route! The bottom protects well just be sure not to commit to a lie back, and screw yourself out of stances. I used 2 stoppers (DMM offsets), and a the rest protects well with a single rack up the 3 inches. I traversed over to the chains for the slab to the left so take my gear beta with a grain of salt. The funky bolt looks like it may have been drilled with haste on lead, and seems to be at an angle instead of straight in to the rock.
As a taller climber I found this route to be pretty stout. Moving up the crux past the bolt required some weird back-step & knee-drop action. My shorter partners just stemmed up without too much hassle.
This thing was fantastic, probably the best 5.9 we did at the City. Do yourself a favor, don't traverse to the chains at mid height, there is still 60+ feet of worthy climbing to do. The whole route sews up if you keep your eyes open except for the finish which is well below the crux grade, so no R rating is warranted. 2 raps to the ground with a stop at those sport route chains.

Florida Power & Light is seeking state approval to increase customer's base rates by 31%.
Although consumer advocates say the rate hike is too high, FPL officials say the increase is necessary and will ultimately reduce customer's bills.
"One of the reasons we've been able to keep bills low is that we've invested in infrastructure to make our plants very fuel efficient," FPL spokesperson Jackie Anderson said. "Over the past six years we've actually been able to save our customers about $3 billion in fuel costs. This proposal will allow us to continue to make those kinds of investments, and we're actually projecting that we'll be able to save customers about $1 billion a year starting in 2014."
Currently, FPL customers pay about $25 less a month than those of Florida's 53 other utility companies.
The new rates would go into effect Jan. 1, 2010.
The Public Service Commission will host a public forum on the issue at 11 a.m., June 19, at the Sarasota City Commission chambers, 1565 First St., Sarasota.

The useless NDP are making promises they cannot keep just to get the welfare and student vote.
I hate the NDP, because they support social programs. That means, they support people who cant work or do not want to work.
Let me explain myself. I understand some people cannot work due to a disability.
But the NDP gets most of there votes from the less fortunate. Where do these social programs come from? From the working class tax dollars.
Another example, people on welfare can get benefits, where many people who work cannot afford benefits.

Hunan's "Civilian Military Governor"
Tan Yankai was perhaps the most unmilitary of the military governors to emerge from the 1911 Revolution. Indeed, the political capital Tan brought with him to the post was almost entirely civilian in nature. One of Tan's main assets was his family's, and his own,
high status within Hunan society. Tan was the scion of a prominent and wealthy gentry-official family. His father had attained the jinshi degree, the highest degree awarded in the traditional examination system, and served in a succession of provincial governorships and governor-generalships before his death in 1905. Tan Yankai also showed an early talent for classical studies, calligraphy, and the other cultural skills that were the accouterments of the Chinese gentry. He rose rapidly through the examination system, and in 1904, at the youthful age of twenty-four, also achieved the jinshi degree. Tan brought added glory to his family and his province by placing first among all jinshi candidates and was rewarded with a position in the famed Hanlin Academy. Thus through his family background and his own precocious success, Tan attained the status and prestige that gave him easy access to the network of elite and official contacts that was the channel to power in traditional Chinese society.[41]
Tan Yankai's special position in Hunan society was, however, based on more than the traditional criteria of family background and educational achievement. Of equal importance in his rise to political leadership was his participation in Hunan's progressive reform movement. Returning to Hunan after his examination triumph, Tan turned his attention to more modern concerns. His initial public role was as a promoter of modern schools, serving as the director of one modern school and acting as a fund-raiser and a sponsor for several others. On this basis he also served for a time as head of the Hunan Education Association. Tan soon expanded his activities beyond education to involve himself prominently in both the railroad-protection and constitutionalist movements. In 1908, Tan was elected to represent Hunan's opposition to foreign railroad loans in Beijing. He was also selected to participate in the preparations for the establishment of Hunan's Provincial Assembly. When this assembly was formed in 1908, Tan was elected its first president. He went on to achieve national prominence through his participation in the 1910 petition movement for the early opening of a National Assembly. Tan's disillusionment with the dynasty's response to this appeal was instrumental in his final decision to support the revolution.[42] Thus on the eve of the revolution Tan had emerged as the clear leader of Hunan's reform-minded political elite. It is not surprising that many would look to Tan for leadership during the revolution, and in particular to provide an alternative to the relatively unknown and politically inexperienced Jiao Dafeng.
Despite his obvious qualifications, Tan's position at the beginning
of his military governorship was by no means secure. The greatest threat he faced was the possibility of a revolutionary countercoup. The assassinations of Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin shocked and angered their revolutionary comrades. In the days after the coup, Changsha was alive with rumors that Jiao's followers were preparing to move against Tan to retake control of the Hunan government. From the other side, the New Army units involved in Jiao's death were reportedly preparing to extend their purge to Jiao's associates.[43] This volatile situation was quickly defused when revolutionary leaders reached an accommodation with Tan, accepting his leadership as a means to prevent further disorder.
There are a number of reasons why this accommodation was possible. First, there is some question as to whether Tan himself was personally involved in the coup, the main evidence of his complicity being his failure to punish its perpetrators. Indeed, most of the conspirators received high posts in Tan's administration, including a division commander's position for Mei Xing.[44] At the same time, there is the contrary evidence that Tan and his family seem to have been noticeably surprised by the coup.[45] It is possible that Tan's "cover-up" was simply an effort to prevent further disorder once the deed was done. In any case, Tan was careful to express his sorrow over Jiao and Chen's deaths. The Hunan government gave the two men elaborate official funerals and provided their families with financial compensation. By such actions, Tan sought to heal the breach with Hunan's revolutionaries, giving them a chance to cooperate without too much loss of face.[46]
The revolutionaries also had to be concerned about how an open break with Tan and his constitutionalist allies might affect the revolutionary cause. Cooperation with prominent gentry leaders like Tan could contribute to the stability and prestige of the new military government, whereas conflict with them might slow broader acceptance of the revolution. During the conflict over the senate issue, some radical revolutionaries had proposed strengthening Jiao's position by assassinating senate members and Tan's appointees in the civil administration. However, the opponents of doing so won the day with this argument: "To carry out the revolution, we need to enlist the services of talented men, and to plan our advance in concert with them. Only then can we achieve our greater goal. The men on this list [marked for assassination] are all well-known Hunan personalities. If they are killed, how can we win the hearts of the people? In the future who will dare work with us for the revolution?"[47] Even in the light of Jiao's
assassination, this argument still carried weight as long as Tan and his allies had not forsworn the revolution altogether.
The division between constitutionalists and revolutionaries was also not as broad as it is sometimes portrayed. Before 1911 the two groups were divided over the tactical issue of the necessity of revolution, but at the provincial and local level they generally agreed about types of reforms needed for China's national regeneration. The barrier between the two groups was, as a result, quite permeable. As circumstances changed, individuals could and did shift easily from one camp to the other. Indeed, in 1911 the circumstances were such that both sides finally came together in agreement on the need for a political revolution.[48] As previously noted, the underlying issue behind the coup against Jiao was that his secret society activities might lead to social as well as political revolution. Joseph Esherick has shown that the revolutionaries themselves were far from united on this issue.[49] The majority of revolutionary leaders were, after all, drawn from the same broad elite as the constitutionalists. Although many saw the secret societies as a revolutionary tool, few were any more willing than the gentry as a whole to accept the social disorder that might result if secret societies were given a free hand. Therefore, once Jiao's death eliminated the immediate threat of secret-society revolution, the way was cleared for increased cooperation between revolutionaries and constitutionalists.
On a more personal level, Tan Yankai's past relationship with Hunan's revolutionary movement, and its leaders, eased the path to accommodation. Although Tan's conversion to revolution had come relatively late, his attitude toward the revolutionary movement was generally more tolerant than antagonistic. For example, in 1904 Tan had used his influence to protect the Mingde School, which harbored a number of revolutionary teachers, such as Huang Xing and Zhou Zhenlin, from attacks by conservative gentry. According to one account, when orders for Huang's arrest were issued after the discovery of an uprising plot, Tan aided his escape by intervening with the Hunan authorities to prevent an overly energetic search.[50] By this action, Tan built a basis for later cooperation with the man who was to become the second most important revolutionary leader in the Tongmenghui after Sun Yat-sen.
In the end, Huang Xing himself played a major role in re-cementing the revolutionary alliance with Tan in the aftermath of Jiao's assassination. Since Hunan was his home province, Huang had watched the course of the revolution there with special concern. Upon receiving
news of the coup, Huang immediately sent calming instructions to revolutionary leaders in Changsha. In his message, Huang stressed that the most important objective was to prevent any further instability that would either discourage other provinces from joining the revolution or adversely affect Hunan's ability to assist the revolutionary war in Hubei. Although expressing sympathy over Jiao's death, Huang therefore urged his comrades to give their support to Tan. To this end, Huang's emissary, Zhou Zhenlin, called a mass meeting of soldiers and civilians to relay Huang's instructions. Zhou's impassioned speech was well received and the immediate danger of a revolutionary countercoup was reduced. "Tan's first term as Hunan's military governor was, under the pressure of events, supported by revolutionary party members," Zhou noted.[51]
Despite this general accommodation, a few revolutionaries continued to seek revenge against those they saw as responsible for the anti-Jiao coup. For the most part, these were men who had been active in fomenting secret-society revolution or revolutionary soldiers who had worked closely with Jiao and Chen Zuoxin during the Changsha uprising. These men were responsible for a series of assassination attempts and uprising plots that would continue through 1912 and 1913. For example, Mei Xing was permanently crippled in a bomb attack.[52] In March 1913, a number of military officers and local revolutionary activists, including Liu Wenjin, were implicated in a military uprising attempt against Tan.[53] Such incidents have sometimes been cited to show the continuation of a revolutionary struggle against Tan's constitutionalist regime.[54] In fact, these plots only represented a minority revolutionary faction, which did not have the backing of Hunan's most important revolutionary leaders.[55] Tan, for his part, exhibited leniency toward prominent uprising suspects. For example, Liu Wenjin and other officers implicated in the March 1913 plot were given short prison terms or simply removed from their posts.[56] In general, the accommodation forged between Tan and Hunan's revolutionary leadership at the beginning of his term of office was never seriously challenged.
Finally, Tan's success at preserving good relations with revolutionary leaders was very much owing to his own character and approach to politics. One quality frequently attributed to Tan was bamian linglong , the ability to be pleasing to all parties. As one memoir notes, "Whether with the constitutionalist clique or the Nationalist Party, northern or southern powers, old or new factions, politicians or military men, elders or youths, Tan was able to project feigned sincerity to
all."[57] Tan's detractors saw this quality as simple political opportunism, and charged him with the manipulation of factions for his own ends.[58] Irrespective of whether his sincerity was feigned, Tan used his personal skills to build and maintain a political consensus in support of his rule. In the end, one of Tan's main strengths as military governor was this ability to act as a political mediator among Hunan's various political forces.
One particular example of the consensus-building politics characteristic of Tan's regime was the attempt to balance Hunan's sectional interests. The traditional examination system had divided Hunan into middle, western, and southern "routes" (lu ), and the self-interested ties that developed among the gentry of these routes in the late Qing period provided the basis for sectional political factions in the early Republic. In order to lessen the conflict among these factions, attempts were made to divide political appointments equally among men from each route. For example, the president and two vice presidents of the Hunan Provincial Assembly were each from a different route. Tan, likewise, spread department-head appointments in his administration equally among the three routes.[59]
For the most part, Tan did favor men with constitutionalist backgrounds in his appointments in Hunan's civil administration.[60] Here too, though, it is possible to see too great a division between constitutionalists and revolutionaries. Most of Tan's appointees were men with modern, often Japanese, educations, who interacted easily with revolutionary leaders with similar backgrounds. Although predominantly active in the constitutionalist movement, many of these men, like Tan himself, had at different points shown some sympathy for the revolutionary cause.[61] Furthermore, as noted by Tan's minister of foreign affairs, in appointing these men Tan not only paid attention to their talents and character, but demanded their support for the revolution.[62] Finally, it should be noted that men with revolutionary backgrounds were not completely excluded from Tan's administration. For example, the head of the Justice Department was a Tongmenghui member, and under him this department remained very much a Tongmenghui preserve.[63] Perhaps an even more important revolutionary appointment was that of Zhou Zhenlin to head a special financial institution, the Revenue Bureau. According to Joseph Esherick, Zhou's position at the head of this bureau was an "opening to the left" whereby Zhou carried out a program of "iconoclastic egalitarianism" through extortionate exactions from conservative or loyalist gentry families. Through this post, Zhou exerted a considerable revolutionary
influence on Hunan's provincial government.[64] Thus Tan did allow revolutionaries to maintain some footholds in his administration.
There is also other evidence of Tan Yankai's efforts to ensure continued revolutionary cooperation in the political consensus supporting his government. For example, Tan was careful to maintain good relations with Huang Xing and other Tongmenghui leaders. He frequently sought Huang's advice on major policy issues and gave Huang an elaborate official welcome when he visited Changsha in October 1912.[65] The most obvious indicator of Tan's special care to preserve his accommodation with the revolutionary party, though, was his role in establishing the Hunan branch of the Nationalist Party in the summer of 1912.
In the immediate aftermath of the revolution, there was in Hunan, as elsewhere, a proliferation of small political societies and parties. In this early period, while political alliances were just being established, it was not unusual for a single individual to belong to a number of different parties.[66] Not surprisingly, Tan allowed several of these small parties to claim him as their leader.[67] Such a position was consistent with Tan's bamian linglong character and with his efforts to build as broad a political consensus as possible behind his regime. As the home province of a number of important revolutionary leaders, though, Hunan remained a particularly strong base for the Tongmenghui. Indeed, Song Jiaoren, the mastermind behind the expansion of the Tongmenghui into the Nationalist Party, was a Hunan native.[68] Hunan was therefore an obvious organizing focus for the new party.
In July 1912, Qiu Ao, a prominent Hunan Tongmenghui activist, arrived in Changsha at the behest of party leaders to organize a Hunan branch of the Nationalist Party and to prepare the party's campaign for upcoming provincial and national assembly elections. Qiu soon discovered that Tan was willing to join forces with the Tongmenghui in the establishment of the new party. Having obtained Tan's support, Qiu easily drew other members of Hunan's constitutionalist elite into the Nationalist Party. When the Hunan branch was formally established in September, Tan was named its head and nearly all the other important officials in Tan's administration were assigned posts in the branch organization. At the same time, Tan also appointed Qiu to head the Department of Civil Government, an important office supervising local administration and elections. Qiu took advantage of this position to appoint sympathetic magistrates and election officials in order to give Nationalist Party candidates an edge in the upcoming elections. As might be expected, the Nationalist Party won large
majorities in Hunan's national, provincial, and most county assembly elections.[69]
Tan's ability to bring about an effective amalgamation of Hunan's constitutionalist and revolutionary elites was no doubt facilitated by the Nationalist Party's attempt to broaden its base by casting off some of the more radical principles that had been associated with the Tongmenghui. For example, the Nationalist Party dropped Sun Yat-sen's program of land reform and the Tongmenghui's original call for the political equality of women. These changes made it possible for the party to appeal to a more socially conservative constituency than it had in the past. The party's platform also contained strong support for increased local self-government, an obvious attraction for the politicized elites who were Tan's main allies.[70] Nonetheless, it is unlikely that the Nationalist Party could have been as successful as it was in Hunan without Tan's personal and active support. In Tan's mind, it seems, the Nationalist Party was less important for its political program than for its potential to provide an organizational basis for a continued elite consensus of revolutionaries and constitutionalists. At the same time, in his desire for consensus, Tan also continued to maintain good relations with other political factions and parties even after his commitment to the Nationalist Party.[71]
The military governorship of Tan Yankai provides one of the best examples of the fact that, at least within some provincial regimes, there was a potentially strong political basis for the continuation of civilian rule after the 1911 Revolution. Although he was officially Hunan's military governor, Tan's political power was primarily based on his status in Hunan's civilian society, and was strengthened by his skills as a politician in the context of the emerging postrevolutionary civil polity. Tan, as one of his contemporaries would later write, essentially served as a "civilian military governor" (wenzhi dudu ).[72]

If you were left with question marks after Isabeli Fontana publicly confirmed her relationship with Rohan Marley, you were not alone. Even more peculiar is the fast pace the couple's relationship is going. In a recent interview with Veja magazine, the Brazillian model revealed that the pair are planning a wedding.
While they haven't picked a date, they have allegedly decided on the location - Ethiopia. 'Rohan told me we have to return to the roots so the marriage will last forever,' she told the magazine. Fontana's mother on the other hand, isn't too happy with the pace. 'I think everything is happening too fast,' she told the magazine, 'but everything has a different rhythm with Isabeli.' And she's right. If she does go ahead with getting married to the father of Lauren Hill's five children, he will be her third husband and she will be his second or possibly third.

Fenicci's of Hershey
Online Reservations
We have been there several times and the food is consistently delicious no matter what we order. The lasagna is my favorite and comes with a choice of sauce. Our server was very nice although a bit forgetful. I did not mind because he took responsibility and admitted forgetting to put the order for our appetizer and later on forgetting my wine. The place is simple and comfortable. Despite tables being close to one another, we never feel cramped. My favorite seats in the house are the booths in the bar area. Excellent value for the money. Can't wait to go back.
We were in town for the RV show and had been given the recommendation to dine at Fenicci's from a friend. I greatly appreciated the on-line reservation ability as our number of guests changed twice the week before. It was very easy to change the reservation and took very litlle time as opposed to calling. The menu and the food was great! If we are ever in Hershey again we will definitely dine at Fenicci's! Our waiter, Austin was great as well - very knowledgable of the menu and beer selection.
My family started dining at DA's in 1958, our children were raised on DA's famous upside down pizza pie, we brought many friends to experience DA's, all of which are still coming to DA's not only for pizza pie but now bringing their children to keep the generations in touch with Phil's wonderful restaurant. DA's became Fenicci's and not only the food still remains of great taste and quality but the service is very attentive to the customers. Owner Phil G. is very active in seeing his customers are happy and pleased with their visit to his restaurant. When our son returns home from Baltimore we always visit Fenicci's for his "Pizza pie fix" it has still remained his favorite pizza along with the rest of us.
Service and food was great. We sat outside and totally enjoyed the night. Thank you Fenicci's. By far the best restaurant we ate at during the week.
The food tastes great. We really like eating at Fenicci's. cons- I was never offered a refill of my soda. We were seated in a booth by the bar and did not get to see the renovations. We prefer the dining room. The mussels appetizer was small compared to other restaurants that I eat at.
we were looking for some place we have never been to and this place was a great find. The best italian food ever
A very nice reasonable restaurant with a very large menu surely with something for everyone. Parking can be a problem though. I would recommend it to friends. Paper on tables was a good idea , but was a problem in tight booth - kept pushing up. I will be back.
Always enjoy the food here! Pleasant wait staff and friendly owner
Food was very good - as always... and we enjoyed the "Date Night" promo.
This place is a great spot to gather with some girlfriends over some fantastic Italian food, great wine, & enjoyable conversation. I am a Hershey local and visit Fenicci's very often. I've never had a bad meal or experience. Wonderful place for families, date night, or a large gathering!
Found this restaurant on trip advisor and decided to give it a try for dinner based on the good reviews. This restaurant was excellent. The menu has a large selection of food items from steak to seafood to past dishes. It also has pub type food and sandwiches if you just want a quick bite. The serving sizes were very large and the food tasted so good. They grow a lot of their own items in their garden and their sauces were homemade and you could taste the difference. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Best of all the prices were so reasonable especially for being located in a tourist town. We will definitely be making this a new stop whenever we are visiting in Hershey,
We have gone there for years when here for the big car show. It is our favorite restaurant in town and we usually dine there several times during our 7 day stay. We recommend it if you like Italian food.
Great food and plenty of it. Many choices. Loud and person sitting at close by table was obnoxiously loud talking about the on- going car show. Had a reservation but had to wait a few minutes anyway for a table. Interesting that they are now using white paper table coverings over cloth tablecloths at dinner. Perhaps a cost saver. All in all a wonderful restaurant, great food, close to Hershey Theatre. Found street parking space fairly easily. Josh, our waiter, was a true gem!
Family style Italian. Good food. Excellent Service. Go every year for an antique auto event.
First time dining here. Our reservation was at 6:45 pm on Saturday, and the place was full. We told the hostess we were going to an 8:00 show, and they had a table for us in minutes. The waiter made sure we had our food in plenty of time. And what food! We will be back!
Great food, and good service. Would definitely return!
Delish as always!!! Great atmosphere and family friendly. Owner visible and making rounds in the restaurant.
We were here on Saturday prior to the Hershey Half Marathon with a group of 8. The place was packed, were really glad we had a reservation! For our family of 3 (one kiddo) we paid just over $100 for appetizers (2) adult entrees, alcohol and kid's sized meal. Everything was absolutely delicious! Would def. head back there again! I had the "butcher's Block" and every single type of meat in the entree was perfect. My husband's surf and turf was delicious also!.
We reserved a table through OpenTable, and were happy that we did. There were several parties waiting for tables when we arrived on a busy Saturday night. We gave our name and were seated immediately. Lots of choices on the menu, food was tasty, and prices were reasonable. We would definitely eat at this restaurant again!
Seafood risotto has brought me back here from Rochester ny... Worth the drive... Twice !0
This is a good choice if you are hankering for classic "Ameritalian" cuisine. The entry into the restaurant is a bit unusual, through the front doors, up a flight of stairs, and to a somewhat enclosed reception. Another hallway (with a shoulder high wall) leads to what was a busy dining room at our 6:00 p.m. reservation. My spouse and I were seated at a table for four, and greeted by a wonderfully cordial server. I ordered a glass of Rioja, then an eight oz. fillet with baked potato and cole slaw. (I know, not Italian.) My spouse ordered the chicken parm with a spaghetti side. Salads and rolls, as expected. Food was delivered at a good pace. All food was prepared in a classic Americanized Italian style. Very good, no surprises.
My food was excellent and even took it home and enjoyed it again the next day for lunch!
We had the upside down pizza. It was great! Best thin crust pizza I've had in quite a while. I'm sure we'll be back to try some of the other things on the menu that looked enticing as well. Our waitress was attentive to our needs and was very pleasant. The management checked in to assure our visit was positive.
We would and have recommended Feniccis to family and friends...the food (Butcher Block Pasta and Crab Tortellini) was perfect! I believe the drink prices are slightly high but overall a great experience and we will certainly return.
Always love the relaxed feel of this place !! The Italian dishes we had were amazing and the salad was refreshing. Food was 5 star delicious, as always! Service was well-timed and friendly! I definitely would return to try more dishes!!!
Fenicci's was was very busy, but the staff was excellent in every way! Seating was prompt and curtious. From appetizers to the main course the staff was in high gear. The food was hot and delicious. This was our first time dining at Fenicci's an it won't be our last, we will be back!
When requesting seating for 4, there are booths that are very cramped for 4 people. Open table does not give choice for seating option
My friend and I always make a trip to Hershey once a year around this time and we love it here and would recommend it anyone that asks where to eat at.
We live 45 min away and this restaurant is always our favorite getaway spot. The food is always amazing!
Nice sized portions of good tasting, typical Italian food. The server was new and we were afraid of that, but she got everything right! They do offer whole wheat pasta and even offer some gluten free choices, but I would have liked a low fat, low carb option as well. However,This would not stop me from going again! We had a 7 pm reservation and only waited about five minutes for our table. I like a restaurant that honors their reservations!
although we did not get the time we wanted to be seated, when we did arrive they were waiting for us, seated us, gave us great service throughout the dinner. the other 5 people withe me raved about the food and all was well with our dinner. great place to eat and have a social drink
My husband and I had gone to Hershey Theatre and were looking for a restaurant to go to after the show. I remember a friend had told me about a wonderful Italian restaurant and I thought it was Fenicci's and I booked it through Open Table. Loved the food. Service was impeccable. The only challenge was parking. Because we have purchased tickets for two more plays, we will plan on coming back
Always fantastic food; the thought of that spaghetti makes my mouth water.
I started teaching in Hershey in 1962, and DeAngelis Restaurant was already well established in Hershey. It's great to see that the tradition continues with Fenicci's. Great Italian food in a historical setting. Service was outstanding!
Fenicci's is always on top of their game. Everything is perfect. Will return again soon.
My friends and I - a group of 6- enjoyed the food very much. We did feel the service was slow. After we ordered, we heard the hostess mention the lunch specials to other patrons. Our waitress had not told us about the specials. When we asked her why, she informed us that the luch specials are not offered to groups of 6 or more! We all felt that is an unusal and unfair policy. We also heard, as we were leaving, that there were personal size pizzas available. That also was not on our menus nor mentioned by our waitress.
We went here to eat before catching a show at the Hershey Theater. There aren't many places to eat in the immediate vicinity, and our other choice was a big chain restaurant. Boy, am I glad we chose Fenicci's! Though they told us over the phone that they didn't have any tables open earlier than our reservation, when we showed up 20 minutes early (really, not much to do in the area) they sat us right away. Our waitress, Angie, was super nice and very attentive, and the food was delicious! My fiance got the lasagna and I had the seafood fra diablo. Both were generous portions and very tasty! We shared a limoncello gelato for dessert and really enjoyed it. Great prices, lovely staff, good food! So glad we chose this restaurant!
Dined here June 2013 and enjoyed it. Brought friends with us this time and they liked it just as much as we did. Glad we thought to share it with them. We will be back!
This is the second time that we have dined at Fenicci's, and again it was excellent. My date and I shared a bottle of wine (reasonably priced) and had salads and entrees. I had the lasagna which was outstanding. We will definitely be back soon.
Delicious food, generous portions and friendly service!
We have been attending Fenicci's the night after Thanksgiving for years. We are from Virginia and travel to Hershey for Thanksgiving weekend. Italian food is our favorite and Fenicci's has been a family favorite for years. This year everyone had pasta but the pizza is awesome too!
First time experienced with another couple and definitely will be back.
We went to Fenicci's after the Hershey Bears game. Unfamiliar with the area and what may be open for dinner and drinks late, Fenicci's was recommended by a couple of people and also Open Table's app showed late reservations available. The place is split in two. The restaurant side is a little more quiet and "upscale" if you will. The bar side is a little older with booths and tables. We sat in the bar. There was a really good guitar playing and singer doing some classic and soft rock songs. Not sure what his name was, but man was he good. He made our night better. Our server was a really great young lady who made recommendations for us and she was so right! She was very personable and attentive. Get the pizza or Stromboli!!
We enjoy being there before and after hockey games. Have had many special occasions there with Family and friends!
Always fantastic food. My mouth waters just thinking about that spaghetti.
Food was good, good value for money, service was excellet
We've been to Fenicci's many times for special occasions and dining before concerts. We have never been disappointed. We have had different servers and different entrees and drinks, and we will keep coming back when we are in the city.
Even though they were extremely busy, we were seated promptly and service was great.
Looking for a good food and service before going to the theatre and it was more than I could ask for. Food was tasty and service was very good. If looking for a more private and romantic setting ask to be seated in the bar area. Prices are fair and amount of food is plentiful with a good selection. Reservations would be a good idea!
very nice redo on the interior, more seating available. Great waitstaff - food/drinks out in reasonable time. Overall nice place to visit - large group or just the 2 of us!

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." ~Frederic Bastiat
But Jay Cutler is?!?
The Bears are maybe the 7th best team in the NFC.................
Which two..........................three if they don't earn a bye..........................of these teams will the Bears beat in the playoffs to make it to the Super Bowl?
"He's so out of touch and delusional that he doesn't realize his entire life is built around extravaganza." - Benjamen
Please show me the math when it comes to the 7th best team. And you are discounting Cutlers success and the offensive weapons the Bears posses. Last couple of years, only thing that held him back was injuries. Defense has never been the problem, and so far they look just as good if not better. None of the teams you listed are unbeatable.
Hate Club Says, Fuck You & the Whorse you rode in on
Op's up to something with these links.
Not clicking....post photo.
I just damned the inventor of underwear to hell in their comments
The above statement is being made of my own free will. This site neither condones nor agrees to anything I post but for my right to post what I feel.
Let's start with the differences in the play and leadership qualities at the QB position............................
If you want to go stats, Cutler's QB rating last season was lower than ALL of the QBs of the teams I've mentioned: Eli, Rodgers, Ryan, Brees, Wilson, and Kapernick.
In the last decade, every Super Bowl-winning QB has had one thing in common: they have all had at least one season where their QB rating was over 90. And Flacco didn't even have his +90 season last year. He had his one and only +90 QB rating season two seasons prior.
Cutler's highest QB rating? 88.5, his rookie season, where he only played 5 games. His best full season was an 88.1 the following season.
So his best QB play, which was mediocre at best, was 6 seasons ago.
Now what about Cutler's putrid intangibles? And how do they stack up against all these other QBs?
Would any GM take Cutler over any of these QBs?!?
Of course they wouldn't.
Rushing game? Glad you asked!
Last season's rushing totals:
Seahawks: 2,579
49ers: 2,491
Bears: 1,970
Now let's go to defense. The Bears have a strong D, no question. But statistically, last season they ranked below both NFC "powerhouses", the Seahawks and 49ers, both in terms of yards- and points-per-game.
So, to recap: worst QB of any of the possible NFC contenders, worse running game.................by over 500 yards!.................than either of the two NFC "powerhouses", and a worse D than either of them, too.
But throw all that out the window, and the Bears are going all the way because.................................why?!?
No, they're not, but a big game is kryptonite to Cutler. You're completely disregarding that basic fact. Cutler has "will gift-wrap a win to an opponent" written in his DNA.
If someone's going to knock off one/both of the powerhouses, it's going to be a team with a proven winner/leader at QB, i.e. the Saints behind Brees or the Giants behind Eli.
I'd actually bet on Romo in a big game before I bet on Cutler, and that's saying something.
That would actually make a fantastic bizarro-world NFC Championship game. The football would be the hottest potato, constantly up for grabs, in a race to see who could out-interception the other QB. They could even switch QBs at halftime just for the fuck of it, because it would make 0.0 fucking difference.

Web Portal Use by the Numbers
With our first year of web portal use well behind us I started looking for practical ways to begin mining some data to get some basic statistical observations regarding patient use of web portal. As with all new undertakings in health IT this was far more difficult and cumbersome than it should have been. Nonetheless I got a few interesting observations documented over the past couple of days. I did not do an exhausting review but I don't think data like this exist anywhere else.
I was curious about what proportion of our network's new patients have used the web portal over the past 6 months. Overall 22% of our new patients used the web portal for clinical data entry. This differs significantly from my subjective observation that about half of my new patients were using the portal; this data includes all 19 of our network physicians, not just my own. I am in the process of looking at my patients only.
The breakdown by age is here - the first table – web portal figure 1
Portal use is very steady at around 25% through age 65 years. Use among pediatric patients shows parents are just as willing to use the portal for their children as they are for themselves. It is reasonable to expect portal use to drop with increasing age but I didn't expect 65 year olds to be using the portal as much as 25 year olds. Portal use among patients in their 70's and 80's is quite respectable. The bump in use in patients over 90 years of age is interesting but likely to be a statistical illusion due to the very small absolute numbers in those age brackets.
The second table shows the same data expressed as raw numbers rather than percentages. All our new patients, regardless of portal use, tend to be from age 40 to 70 years.

"Rapid rates of coral reef growth have been identified in sediment-laden marine environments, conditions previously believed to be detrimental to reef growth. A new study has established that Middle Reef – part of Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef – has grown more rapidly than many other reefs in areas with lower levels of sediment stress.
Led by the University of Exeter, the study by an international team of scientists is published today in the journal Geology.
Middle Reef is located just 4 km off the mainland coast near Townsville, Australia, on the inner Great Barrier Reef shelf. Unlike the clear waters in which most reefs grow, Middle Reef grows in water that is persistently 'muddy'. The sediment comes from waves churning up the muddy sea floor and from seasonal river flood plumes. The Queensland coast has changed significantly since European settlement, with natural vegetation cleared for agricultural use increasing sediment runoff. High levels of sediment result in poor water quality, which is believed to have a detrimental effect on marine biodiversity."

Bryan Fletcher has one of the more inspiring stories in skiing. Diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age three, Fletcher underwent chemotherapy for seven years, surviving a stroke before going into remission. The dust had barely settled before Fletcher went on a competitive tear, eventually vaulting into the world's elite nordic combined athletes. The 2013 season proved to be a good one for Fletcher, who helped capture the USA's first full-team nordic combined World Ski Championships medal in Val di Fiemme, Italy. In addition to his team bronze, his four top-10 finishes on the World Cup circuit were good enough for 21st in the FIS World Cup standings, the second highest finish for the U.S. behind brother Taylor. His success in 2013 is all in preparation for an Olympic bid in 2014, and with a resume like Fletcher's—team bronze at World Champs and four World Cup top-10 finishes in 2013—he looks to be on track for more impressive results.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 11:28 a.m. Monday, Dec. 3, 2012
DETROIT (AP) — A better economy and extra demand after Superstorm Sandy lifted U.S. auto sales last month.
Carmakers from Chrysler to Volkswagen reported brisk demand in November, and said sales rose on everything from small SUVs to sedans.
Americans are willing to buy a new car or truck because they are more confident in the economy than they've been in a while: Home values are rising, hiring is up and auto financing is readily available.
And Sandy, which hit at the end of October, forced buyers in the Northeast to postpone purchases until November. Also, people whose cars were damaged by the storm are starting to buy new ones. And because the average age of a vehicle on U.S. roads is approaching 11 years, people are being forced to make costly repairs or buy a new car or truck.
"Everything is kind of moving along almost in concert now," says Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting for LMC Automotive, a Detroit-area industry consulting firm.
November sales, when calculated on an annual basis, are likely to be 15 million or more, the highest rate since March of 2008, according to LMC. That's higher than the 14.3 million annual rate so far this year, even though November is normally a lackluster month due to cold weather and holiday anticipation. Both GM and Chrysler predicted November sales would run at an annual rate of 15.3 million.
If sales end up at 15 million for the year, it would be a vast improvement over the 10.4 million during the recession in 2009. Sales would still fall short of the recent peak of around 17 million in 2005.
