The Whitehall Hotel
105 East Delaware Place, Chicago, IL
0,3 km från
745 kr+
Helt OK hotell pa ett bra lage. Enkel standard till rimligt pris. Nej allt OK
Rummen är små men funktionella. Tillgång till trådlöst nätverk i lobbyn som erbjuder en lugn och avslappnad miljö för arbete med en kopp kaffe. Personalen var tillmötesgående i alla frågor som behövde hanteras.
Perfekt läge centralt i Chicago. Snabb och trevlig personal. Små rum men tillräckligt stora
Ligger centralt och bra och är rent och trivsamt. God frukost!
Läget var mycket bra. Frukosten var utmärkt men dyr. Roligt att bo i ett så vackert hus. Rummet var litet, mindre än väntat.
Great location with a nice hotel design. The drum bar and the bakery were nice perks. Its an older building and that is very obvious. The AC is questionable, the elevators are small and take quite a while, and if you want normal pillows you need to request them.
The robes.
Very clean. Microwave and fridge nice to have. Close to shopping and navy pier Self park was really valet parking down the street.
Can't say a thing. I travel quite a bit every year and stay in dozens of hotels. I must say this was the worst experience at a hotel I have ever had. I would never suggest this place to anyone.
Great location and value...staff was fantastic, reacted to every need we had with a positive attitude and were very timely. nothing...we don't spend a lot of time in a hotel when we travel...met our needs perfectly
The location is excellent for whatever activity of interest in downtown Chicago. Attentive and courtesy staff
Very nice updates to room and bathroom. Comfortable bedding, drumBAR on the 18th floor, and great location. Room was extremely hot and the temp could not be adjusted. The room was also very small but worked for our 1 night stay.
Location! Comfortable rooms. Rooftop bar is a nice place to hang out (aside from pricey drinks). Small elevator. The bathroom layout was weird, the shower stall was only half covered by glass, and the other half completely open. This combined with the shower head placement meant that the bathroom was completely soaked after anyone showered.
Hotel was clean and staff was exceptionally friendly. Doorman was extremely helpful. Donut shop downstairs was delicious and convenient. The location was decent if you're willing to walk about a mile to anything you'd like to see. Room was a little small and elevator was extremely small preventing us from getting our stroller in if anyone else was in the elevator.
Really wonderful employees that made us feel welcomed and comfortable. They were very accommodating and polite.
This is a Kayak review- not a hotel review. I booked my travel a week in advance and with 2 days notice I received a call that I no longer had a reservation and there was nothing that could be done. It left me scrambling to find a room and I had to pay 40% more than expected because I never really had a reservation. Will never use Kayak again.
Great location just off the Magnificent Mile easy to get to just with everything you might need to downtown. When was nice but needed a few small maintenance items repaired other than that it was a great place to stay.
Den fräsha och vackra interiören. Läget i stan var perfekt. Bra hjälp från hotellkonfrencieren. Gratis morgontidning några dagar i veckan. Dåligt att internet inte var gratis och att frukost inte ingick. Vill man betala för att äta frukost på hotellet var det väldigt dyrt. Frukostbuffé kostade över 20$ per person.
Läget är perfekt. Fräscht, rent och mysiga rum. Trevlig personal. Nej.
Utmärkt, bekvämt och rymligt rum med vänlig bemanning. Nära till shopping med lugnt läge på sidogata. Nej
Det låg väldigt centralt och rummen var fina. Personalen var trevlig och gav oss bra service. Dåligt att hotellets restaurang inte hade kvällsservering.
Perfekt läge på Gold Coast och Magnificent Mile. Helt ok rum. Frukosten i restaurangen på hotellet var a la carte och erbjöd bara ett fåtal rätter. Var inte värde för pengarna.
the room was wonderful - the bed and linens were superior
Fantastic location, close to the Magnificent Mile and Water Tower. The building is strikingly modern.
Situated in a good area very convinient for shopping and buisness. I was not allowed a late check out as my flight was late evening.
I would have preferred a discount on the Parking for staying in the hotel.
loved the architecture, nice view, price was great, good bar, convenient to lots of things in Chicago, usual helpful Sofitel staff . . .
The rooms were nice, but our room had not been properly cleaned. There was an empty wine bottle in the trash, a stain on the carpet, and dirt on the bedspread. The location is great for exploring the city. A block from Michigan Ave, the beach, and Rush street. The customer service was not good. We waited 30-45 minutes for our bags to be brought up to our room and finally had to go down to get them. There were two bellmen standing in the lobby doing nothing and our luggage was just sitting there. As mentioned the room was not properly cleaned which is never a good feeling when you are staying in a hotel. I requested a late check-out and was immediately told "No due to someone else staying in our room and they needed to clean it". He then asked what room we were staying in. He again said it wasn't possible as someone was staying in that room and they would need to clean it. When we checked out I forgot a brand new shirt I bought while staying there. I rarely hang things in the closet and had done so since it was a new shirt. I realized this the next day and called and again was given horrible customer service. They told me it was not in the room and that nobody stayed in that room the night before so they couldn't help me. Obviously, the maid who cleaned that room took it, but they accepted no responsibility for that. Not to mention they couldn't give us a late check-out due to another guest needing the room. It's a shame the customer service was so bad because it is a nice hotel in a great area of the city.
Clean room, good location, good food Difficulty of reaching the concierge by phone and having to listen to recorded advertising of the hotel while waiting
Staff was excellent, they shipped me something that I left in the room immediately. Very clean, they even put a birthday surprise for my husband in room upon arrival. When you enter the main lobby there is no rest room, you have to take elevator to the 2nd floor. After traveling so long one needs to use the facility fast. Also parking fees a bit high per day, the hotel I stay at offers free parking to its guests
Sofitel is my new favorite Hotel.
Swanky and chic hotel located in the heart of Chicago only steps away from shopping, great restaurants and all that the city has to offer. It's upscale, hip and a great value -- with a very comfortable bed to boot! What more could you want?
My husband and I loved this hotel. We have stayed in several hotels on or near Michigan Ave and this was the best. The hotel is beautiful and is in the perfect location for us. A short walk to the subway, excellent restaurants along Rush Street and of course fabulous shopping. I will definitely stay here again even though it's a little more than I usually like to pay.
Beautiful hotel, very enjoyable. Neither Booking com nor the hotel warned us that a change in the reservation, leaving a night earlier, would result in an increase in the quoted daily rate. We were only told that cancellation was required 24 hours in advance without penalty.
I took my 5 year old to see Chicago. I love the quiet of the hotel. The staff was great. You get what you pay for.
It was an elegant, comfortable weekend at one of the best hotels anywhere. Nothing
I liked the location of the hotel, and also enjoyed the updated decor of the hotel.The bedding was excellent! Very important to me.... it was clean and luxurious. The bath rooms also were in excellent condition. It did meet my standards. (Extremely picky) I did not like that we had to go to the 12th floor to get to reception.
Fabulous service, fabulous food, fabulous room. I can't recommed this hotel highly enough!!
The bed is gorgeusly confortable Many problems with shower, room cleaning, front desk attendece, etc.
Location! And they left a small treat for my child every afternoon.
Very good location.
when I make check out from the hotel they told me i have to pay more than what booking website show me,after desscution they agree to refund 110 $ to me.
Great restaurant recommendation and service!
Hotel has great location, very nice accomodations. There was broken glass in the bar and I cut my finger pretty badly on our first night at the hotel. Although hotel staff was very nice and they did call security, I thought they could have done more in way of compensation. In hindsight, I probably needed stitches and other than call to my room by the manager (who had already left by the time we got back to the room), they really didn't even follow-up.
Comfortable, elegant, convenient excellent accomodations. Food very good but somewhat overpriced. The hotel tower is very tall and our initial room on the 40th floor was very noisy in the wind and rain storm. The swaying was not noticable but the sound of creaking wall and ductwork was uncomfatably loud. The staff did move us to a lower floor to a large apartment suit which was very quiet.
They had absolutely no trace of our reservation on arrival, but after some spirited discussion more than made good the upheaval.
Location/spa and swimming pool None
Very good welcome and staff performance An elevator alarm went off in the middle of the night and it took over one hour to fix it - not conducive to comfortable sleep.
I would guess that most people who gave this place a positive review have never stayed at trump. For the same price trump offers a vastly better experience and much more comfort. The gym and spa at trump make this place look like a spa from rural Cambodia. Rooms were an ever so slightly better version of the Conrad. No pillow menu. No glacier water. No espresso machine in room. No microwave or stovetop with dishwasher( all present at trump). And no cake with gold leaf on it for my birthday!!!
I've stayed at several nice hotels in Chicago and this is by far my favorite. Very comfortable, tastefully decorated, incredible A-V/home automation controls. This was the perfect home-base for a multi-day business trip. The atrium also had a splendid Sunday brunch with string quartet. Couldn't be better
Really enjoyed how friendly everyone was towards us especially since we were a young couple there and the staff told us good morning and everything each day and always had a smile on their face I can't really say I didn't like anything about the hotel or service. The only thing was it was a little expensive for us. Other than that everything was excellent
Great location across from Saks and neiman marcus. Hotel gorgeous, bright, elegant in public areas, very comfortable and luxurious room and bathroom
Beautiful room. Inpecable service
There's so much to like about this hotel: service, location, accommodations, etc. Everything about this hotel is set up to make sure your stay is perfect.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The location and staff were both excellent. Everyone we encountered went out of their way to help us anyway they could. The carpeting in the hallway was extremely dirty. The room carpeting was dirty as well. The room could have been cleaned a little more thorough as well. Walls and cabinets had smudges and leftover spills on them.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Great location in the heart of the Mag Mile/Gold Coast. Staff is friendly and helpful. My kids loved Parker, the house dog. The pool and locker room areas were wonderful. Minor detail, but I couldn't change the spray pattern setting on the shower head. I just switched it over to the hand held and all was good. Like I said, minor detail.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Great location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, free internet, coffee and warm cider in lobby, large bathrooms
Great location with friendly staff. Everything was wonderful.
Location This is not a 5 star hotel in my opinion. Lacking in quite a few too many areas. Lights in the room never worked, spa facilities were medicore at best, in room amenities were sparse. I expect more out of a 5 star.
We like everything - Room, Level of Service - from checkin to valet
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The hotel was very luxurious, clean and quiet. The bed was amazing and the views from the room were very pretty. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
Beautiful. Comfortable, luxurious. Staff assistance was hit or miss. Very frustrating. Some staff was very helpful. Others were not to the point of carelessness or rudeness. At this hotel I had expected service to be exquisite. It was not. For the price there's other hotels with better service who value their customers more highly.
Excellent ...one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. Professional staff. When coming to Chicago it will be the only Hotel I will stay at.
Location, personnel, accommodations. Welcoming and relaxing.
Concierge, door men excellent. Paying for with fi? Really...at these prices? Terrible. $10.00 to use 15 min. Had no idea. Showed up on statement. Housekeeping fine first night but 2nd night left our duvets on floor and when we called to report they actually asked what we would like them to do about it. After telling them we wanted some new duvets a maid came and complied. Next day we returned to find all of our pillows with shams gone...not a functional problem since we still had pillows to sleep on but since they are part of the decor we weren't sure what that was all about. They were on the bed when we left that morning. Overall the room was quiet but I think we could do better next time. Hotel being renovated so maybe the reno rooms will blow you away...ours did not. Other than housekeeping staff the rest of staff was helpful but could have been more accommodating when we missed a night of our reservation due to being snowed in at airport in philly and unable to get there. If they couldn't refund a night of our pre paid room we thought we might have recd a complimentary night in future. They told us to ask price line about that but price line pushed it back to them...
Really enjoyed the stay here, very comfortable and a great location for the price. I needed to make a last minute update to stay a few more nights as my travel was cancelled due to weather. The employees were extremely helpful in letting me keep the same room and at the same rate. Stayed on the same floor as the pool, so some noisy kids were expected
I have been a Marriott guy for some time and had the opportunity to stay at an Omni Hotel in Dallas and decided to give it another try in Chicago because my Dallas experience was so good. They are a true class act! Nothing!
My husband and I recently stayed at the Omni with are 1 year old twins. The staff was more than accommodating. Everything from gift bags for the girls to bringing up a microwave and refrigerator. We will be back!
Location is great. Staff helpful.
Beautiful hotel, great location. Very pleased with our stay. And very close to the red line.
We loved the location and the welcoming and helpful staff. The atmosphere is elegant. For a small extra cost, we opted for the Executive Room with access throughout the day for a light breakfast, snacks during the day, and hors doerves during cocktail hour. It's view is spectacular and all but the tables which are too small, we enjoyed immensely and visited often during our stay. WiFi in your room is an extra cost and not included in the price of your room.
Whinin walking distance to downtown shopping and attractions and great restaurants, walked to Chicsgo Art Institute to take in Van Gough exhibit. Parking too expensive
location 65.00 a day to park car didn't know where to go for breakfast?? not alot of water pressure for shower
not much Room was 'nasty' for a 4 star hotel. -broken soap dish on the floor -faucet handle was not fastened and fell. -really dirty carpet -old building. poorly renovated. bad paint job in the hallways.
Great location and afternoon tea was amazing.
Staff were tremendous Hotel needs updating. It is old, worn and dirty
The Drake is a Chicago classic. A bit old, but very luxuries and very, very beautiful. The excellent location and nice staff delivering outstanding service make the Drake the place to be. A bit dated, and almost impossible to roll your own luggage. Unlike most hotels with marble floors, The Drake has the thickest carpet imaginable. Also, the rooms are small for the US (and the money) and you will pay a lot for a view. However, this is the oldest and most desirable location that The Drake sets the standards for all of the other Chicago luxury hotels.
Room was clean. No recreational stuff no pool no sauna nothing it was boring.
Location and old world elegance Several elevators broken, tea room not kept up-my chair had a big hole in it. Chairs looked dilapidated, carpet worn, menu insert pages barely legible (bad photo copies). Most pages had faded writing in 3 of the four menus. Also-3 menus did not include alcoholic beverages
Hospitality, service, beds, bar
The hotel has decent accommodations and lives up to the name. The rooms are nice, the beds are comfortable, & the bathrooms are clean. (don't park there!!!!) PARKING PRICES, WTF!? Buying anything (aside from the room itself) from the Westin is out of the question/budget.
It may seem a bit expensive but the service is effective and prompt. They have in and out privileges and are quick to help There is no free WiFi but I have my own mobile plan.
Good location for sure. I got to know you do not care about cleaning at all which I consider the most essential and important in choosing where to stay.
Great dining options available and close by to lots of shopping outlets. It would be wonderful if I could have a city view instead of facing another building since Chicago is such a nice city. Not close to any subways.
We loved how friendly the staff was. William went above and beyond for us! For the price, it would have been nice to have even a basic breakfast included.
Shopping and sightseeing were close by. I spilled coffee on my robe on the first morning and it wasn't replaced in the 6 days I stayed there. I don't think he says we're changed during those 6 days either. Otherwise the staff was really nice and the room very comfortable.
Cookies in the lobby and friendly staff. Not very many amenities. Bathroom door didn't close all the way. Room didn't cool down enough.
Great valet service. Small rooms
Front desk staff Location Kind to offer large check out Weak wifi Outrageous daily parking fee
Children was annoying and running during 6am in the other room and made me didn't rest well.
Very few amenites for what you pay. Service was slow at best. Concierce desk was helpful. Very good at housekeeping, but not worth the money you pay.
Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Courteous and friendly staff. Location is excellent for shopping. I definitely would return to stay again.
I liked it all
The air conditioning. Our room was not ready at check-in. The bed skirt was torn and stained. The in-room movie played very poorly. The staff was unfriendly.
The people at Wyndham were so helpful making sure everything was perfect for us! No.
The staff was very helpful and freindly. The room was clean and very nice located near a lot of shopping. Our stay was very enjoyable and we will stay here again soon.
The accomodations were comfortable, the hotel beautiful, the location convenient, the staff extremely knowledgeable, friendly & helpful. Not really. A common suggestion that I have is in relation to the lights at the nightstand. Most places I've stayed, including this hotel, have both lights for double beds in between them. It would be better to have a light on the far side of the bed so the guest sleeping in the other bed is not disturbed by the late-night reader (me!).
Service was amazing. Location was awesome!
Close to shops at magnificent mile Pool was small and not kid friendly. A 16oz pop was $4 plus tax at hotel store
Brenda served us for breakfast most days. She was a the best. Always attentive friendly. Took care of us well. Our last day we had a different waitress and our order wasn't right, we couldn't get her attention and had to get a manager in order to get our check. When you go for breakfast in the fabulous restaurant, ask for Brenda. Loved the green drink with Apple, spinach and ginger. It was really good.
The location was within walking distance to Everything. The hotel was very comfortable.

BOOK REVIEW: The Curve of Time by M. Wylie Blanchett
The Curve of Time Book Cover
This book came to me completely randomly. My spouse lost an aunt who lived in Seattle and when she was out there for the funeral, someone gave her the book. That was about a year and half ago. It sat and sat on our bookshelf. We recently moved from Washington, DC to Houston and somehow the book got put with some of my stuff. I picked it up not knowing anything about it or how we ever acquired the book.
The Curve of Time by M. Wylie Blanchett is a book about spending the summers on a 25 power boat cruising around Vancouver Island and all the inlets. I've always been interested in small boats and have dreamed of just selling everything, buying a sailboat and letting the wind take me where it must. I've been talked out of it numerous times by family and friends. I was close to doing it (as a means to get from Washington, DC to Houston) this time, but later backed down from advice from nearly everyone!
It's sort of hard to find, but is sold on Amazon.
This is a biography and astonishing adventure story of a woman who, left a widow in 1927, packed her five children onto a 25-foot boat and cruised the coastal waters of British Columbia, summer after summer.Muriel Wylie Blanchet acted single-handedly as skipper, navigator, engineer and, of course, mum, as she saw her crew through encounters with tides, fog, storms, rapids, cougars and bears. She sharpened in her children a special interest in Haida culture and in nature itself. In this book, she left us with a sensitive and compelling account of their journeys.
So what a great book, and perfect timing, for me to at least follow someone else's adventures. What's even better is the book was written firsthand and took place in the 1920's. When life and boating must have been extremely simple (and very exciting). There are a lot of firsthand experiences with the Native American in the region and a lot of geography and history as well!
The book is a collection of short stories and adventures sort of hodge podged together. However, it's quite well organized. The narrator and author died over 40 years ago, and her estate organized the book for sale.
I strongly recommend the book to anyone who is interested in wilderness, sailing, boating, the Pacific Northwest, Vancouver history or the like! Once I opened the book, it was a quick read, quickly familiarizing yourself with the family you're about to follow and the layout of Vancouver and it's inlets and islands.
So go out and get the book!

Large Foot in Board-Room Door
By RICHARD W. STEVENSON,
Published: June 6, 1991
SACRAMENTO, Calif.— As chief executive of the nation's largest public pension fund, Dale M. Hanson is an investor with an attitude.
Under Mr. Hanson, the California Public Employees Retirement System, as the pension fund is formally known, recently assailed the ITT Corporation for the $30 million in compensation it gave its chairman, Rand V. Araskog, during the last four years when ITT's shares fell 10 percent.
Mr. Hanson also shook up Sears, Roebuck & Company this spring by supporting the unsuccessful campaign of a dissident shareholder, Robert A. G. Monks, for a seat on the Sears board. Low-Key Prodding Preffered
Calpers is not always so confrontational, preferring instead to rely on low-key, behind-the-scenes prodding when possible. Either way, Mr. Hanson has pushed Calpers, whose $58 billion investment portfolio includes stakes in some of the nation's largest corporations, to the forefront of a growing and increasingly successful effort to pry open board rooms and make corporate America more accountable to shareholders.
"We primarily view our corporate governance efforts as a fiduciary responsibility, no different than if we bought a building and the manager did not care for the building in a way we thought proper," said Mr. Hanson, who is 48 years old and takes issue only with companies in which Calpers owns stock.
Making shareholders "an equal side of the triangle" with corporate management and directors can only help build value for the stock and for the Calpers portfolio, Mr. Hanson said.
Of the 12 shareholder resolutions filed or proposed by Calpers during the annual meeting season this year, the pension fund won outright victories or forged compromise agreements on 10. Those results were a sharp improvement over the .500 winning percentage Calpers has typically posted on the dozen or so proposals it has made in each of the previous several years.
Faced with a potentially messy fight with Calpers or other pension funds, more and more companies are listening closely when large shareholders seek their ear and their respect.
Sometimes Mr. Hanson wants regular meetings with management when a company is performing poorly. Sometimes he wants companies to drop provisions that seem aimed at deterring a raider but often serve to entrench -- and enrich -- management at the expense of shareholders. Frequently, Mr. Hanson wants a company to change the composition of its board by installing more directors from outside the company, who are presumably more responsive to shareholders.
Increasingly, Mr. Hanson said, Calpers will also focus on how much chief executives earn, an issue that he sees as cutting to the heart of whether companies are run for the enrichment of management or the benefit of shareholders.
The ability of Calpers to advance an agenda, often without a public fight, has become clear in the last year in its relations with the General Motors Corporation.
The company made the Calpers hit list last year when Mr. Hanson sent a letter pointedly asking what the company would do to forge closer ties to large shareholders, and how the board would evaluate the performance of the successor to Roger B. Smith, G.M.'s former chairman.
Early this year, Mr. Hanson told a G.M. executive that Calpers was planning a shareholder resolution at G.M.'s annual meeting to insure that a majority of the auto maker's board continued to come from outside G.M. Mr. Smith had tried unsuccessfully several years earlier to expand the board by adding insiders.
After his chat with the G.M. executive, Mr. Hanson got a call from Robert C. Stempel, G.M.'s new chairman, who wanted to know more. Mr. Hanson told him that a commitment to maintaining a majority of outside directors would allow G.M. to signal that its board was intent on representing shareholders, not just management.
Mr. Stempel thought about it -- and then agreed with Calpers. Mr. Stempel even offered Calpers lawyers an opportunity to help draft the change in G.M.'s bylaws.
"We were delighted," Mr. Hanson said. He added that Mr. Stempel's response was "a breath of fresh air" in the effort to bring together large shareholders and managements.
Mr. Hanson, who took the top Calpers job four years ago after serving as the No. 2 executive of the Wisconsin state pension fund, still has detractors. Some corporate executives say activist pension funds like Calpers are often ill informed or unqualified to advise companies.
Moreover, they say, the long-term investment philosophy that pension funds espouse is sometimes abandoned the moment a corporate raider comes along with an above-market offer for their shares, making the funds unreliable partners.
But Mr. Hanson said he generally received positive responses from executives. "Most of the companies we meet with, after they find out we don't have horns and a tail, find out we're fairly articulate and that we've spent a lot of time learning their company," he said.
That Mr. Hanson seems to be getting across the message that he has no interest in meddling in the day-to-day management of the companies in which Calpers invests apparently has helped open the lines of communication for others.

London Seniors vs Kent - September 11th
The Kent conditions were not ideal with poor lighting and ultra fast Simoniz table clothes, however we all need to be able to deal with this kind of adversity in order to go one better than our competitors.
Despite these conditions the London team were always in contention though-out.
After the second set the score was 5-5 and 8-7 adrift after the the third.
After the fourth set we were still within 2 frames at 11 - 9 down but we were unable to come through falling foul of a 4-1 last set defeat to leave the final score a loss at 15 - 10
The London seniors still showing a massive improvement since our poor start at the beginning of year.
Man of the match again goes to Rupert Ward for another 4/5 for an excellent example of the kind of consistency needed for County Pool.

We took a 4 v 1 lead in the opening set only for Kent to battle back to 6 v 5. The second set was nip and tuck with Kent shading it 5 v 6. 11 v 11 at half time.
We pulled 3 frames clear at 15 v 12 but Kent fought back again, 17 v 16 going into the final set. We now pulled 5 frames clear at 22 v 16 but remarkably Kent came right back at us once again, taking the last 6 frames for the draw!
Two points dropped for sure but with Surrey beating Berkshire this may on reflection turn out to be a crucial point gained as we're now back in with a realistic chance of defending our regional title.
Good 3 out of 4's for Dave Fernandez, Dave Rawlinson, Alex Lawrence, Chris Hobbis and Jack Pople. Dave Rawlinson gets the nod for Man of the Match having made the journey at very short notice and playing some really good stuff to keep the match tilted in our favour around half time when it could so easily have swung Kent's way.

We shaded the first set 6 v 5 having trailed 1 v 5! The second set was much better, we won that one 8 v 3 for a 14 v 8 half time lead. Sussex never looked like recovering the deficit and we traded frames in the third (lost 5 v 6) and fourth (won 6 v 5) sets to run out comfortable winners, Rupe securing the points with 6 frames to spare.
Good 3 out of 4's for Joe Prince, Jerry Tickell and Jordan O'Connor and excellent 4 out of 4's for Dave Fernandez and Rupert Ward (both with a little good fortune thrown in), Man of the Match on this occasion going to Dave, opening for us for the first time and generally making the game look very easy.

London Seniors vs Sussex Seniors - August 14th
It never looked in doubt as the London Boys cruised into 10 - 5 lead after the third set.
The fourth was a little shaky losing 1 - 4 bringing the Londoners on the winning side of 11 - 9.
It was a good rally from Sussex lads but the writing was on the wall from the off and London again stamped their authority in the final set winning 3-2 for a 14 - 11 win.
The London A team player Rupert Ward joined the senior ranks for this one and his contribution was obvious adding extra depth and quality to the squad and also chalking up a fantastic 4/5 on first appearance for a well deserved man of the match!
Pete Thomas and Paul Dawson also made solid 4/5 contributions.
Paul Dawson 4/5
Paul Gafa 2/5
George Hutchinson 0/2
Martin Storey 0/3
Pete Thomas 4/5
Rupert Ward 4/5
We won the first set 6 v 5 and the second set by the same margin, to give us a 12 v 10 lead at half-time. Surrey took the third set 6 v 5 to reduce our lead to a single frame and when they won the first 3 frames of that set another home defeat looked a distinct possibility. However we dug deep and showed some "bottle" to take 6 of the last 8 frames to secure the win.
We'll need to up our game again if we're to get anything from the trip to Sussex this Sunday.
Good 3 out of 4's for Dave Rawlinson and Jerry Tickell and an excellent, composed 4 out of 4 from man of the match Nigel Smith.

London B 25 v 19 Surrey B
It began modestly enough, as British summer days are wont to do, with grey skies and melancholy drizzle that bore no hint of the golden wonders that were to follow. North of the capital, in torrential rain, Lewis Hamilton romped to a famous victory at Silverstone to reignite his challenge for the Formula 1 drivers championship. A mere hour or so later, Andy Murray lifted the Gentlemens Singles trophy at Wimbledon for the second time in four years. As Englands favourite Scotsman prepared to give his victors speech, the crowd on Centre Court dutifully fell silent. Not out of respect, as many observers wrongly assumed, but rather dumb-founded astonishment as the news filtered through to SW19 of an even greater drama that was unfolding a few short miles to the north-east.
Shortly before Murray and Raonic had emerged from the locker room, the first frames had begun in the hotly-anticipated top of the table clash between London and Surrey in the EPA Region 7 Mens B division. In the reverse fixture on the opening day of the season, a new-look London side had raced into a commanding lead against their more experienced opponents. Buoyed by the vigour of youth, with several new recruits freshly promoted from the juniors squad, London had eagerly sprinted towards the finish only to be gripped by white-line fever. A four-frame lead was surrendered with only six frames left to play, the match ultimately ending in a draw that would feel like a bitter defeat.
This time round, led by the irrepressible Declan Ginger Dre Kelly, London charged out of the blocks into a 1-0 lead and swiftly opened up a three-frame advantage by the end of the first session (scoreline: 7-4 to London). A minor Surrey revival ensued in the second session as the visitors never allowed London to get more than three frames clear, with the half-time score reading 12-10 in Londons favour. Wins for the Ginger Dre and Danny Motormouth Moffatt at the start of the third session looked to have struck the knockout blow, as London stretched the gap to four frames and threatened to open an unsurmountable lead. At this stage, none could have foreseen the drama that was to follow. Like a boxer rising from the canvas, Surrey found a second wind and promptly took four of the next five to close to within a single frame. Were London destined to suffer the same fate as before? Had the mental fragility been replaced by steely determination, forged in the heat of battles fought since, or would the psychological scars be reopened anew? A nation held its breath.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man. As the drama looked to be building to a thrilling denouement in the final Act, one man stepped forward to tear up the script, and Surreys hearts with it. Playing in the unfamiliar No.8 position, Andre the real Dre Cox taunted his opponent with the casual arrogance that comes naturally to all great champions. As Dre deliberately missed a simple black to the middle pocket, London and Surrey players alike thought the game was up as his opponent laid a simple snooker. Was this the moment that the match would turn, that Surrey would pull level and that Londons resolve would finally crumble to be revealed as no more than a flimsy façade?
Not a chance. Where lesser men might have accepted the inevitable, succumbed to defeat and passed the burden of responsibility on to their teammates, not this man. Not Dre. The crowd watched in silence as the London player lined up an audacious treble. Moving seemingly in slow-motion, drawn inexorably towards the final target not merely by the laws of physics but by sheer force of will and determination, the cue ball followed the path plotted by Dre to millimetre perfection. Once, twice, thrice across the table, coming within a hairs width of the jaw of the opposite pocket, the crowd held its breath as the cue ball drifted ever onwards to finally persuade the 8-ball to drop with the gentlest of nudges. A moments silence followed. Then, pandemonium as the home crowd erupted in glee. The noise that only London can make. The noise of twelve men (Motormouth Moffatt counting double) united in triumph. The noise of victory.
The brief comeback snuffed out, from that point on there could only be one conclusion. London powered remorselessly onwards, extending their lead time and again to emerge victorious, 25-19. A seismic result that would not only send shockwaves through Region 7, but would create ripples capable of reaching the farthest corners of the Earth. We lucky few were there to witness it first-hand. This truly is a golden era for British sport, and we shall cherish every minute.
Man of the Match: Andre Cox.

|Sop Karaf on bundle Failure
|Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:36:09 GMT
Hi, is there a way in Karaf to define a bundle as "critical" ?. If this bundle fails, the whole container shall stop/restart. I can use a listener as in a previous question f(Starting/Stopping Programmatically Bundles) to check the state of the bundle. The idea is : I have an embedded broker and my bundles communicate through JMS. If the broker fails, i am useless so I should try to restart (at least the broker but i have seen after failure that only restarting the broker is sometimes not enough). Regards Hervé

RRI is a large company with many departments so career movement is very possible. The pay scale seems to be on the higher end of comparable positions in other energy companies.
Lack of senior management skills in fixing problems seems to be a persistent issue. The economic environment of the company is challenging which doesn't create a strong comfort level, and gives the feel that major overhauls of operations could come at any time.

Better communication with employees is required to build trust, loyalty, and pride with your rank in file employees.

Although I was hired into the company at a fair compensation level, raises of more than 1 to 2.5% are hard to come by. Since NRG acquired the retail business in early 2009, Reliant has lost many of the perks that once made it a great place to work. Upper management is very out of touch with the rest of the organization and employee morale seems to be at an old time low -- making it a very challenging place to work day in and day out.
Advice to Management
Respect your employees and treat them like adults. There are many talented people capable of great work if given the opportunity.
