Club Quarters Hotel In Philadelphia
1628 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA
0.2 mi from
Location The staff is poor when it comes to taking care of customers. Will never stay there again.
. Staff . Convenient Location to Restaurants & Shopping . Nicely laid out rooms . Warm inviting lobby area . Parking Endorsement (Parkway Parking Garage) . Filtered Water on each floor . Free Wifi . Limited assortment of Pillows (one size does not fit all) . Bathroom baseboards should have been cleaner (left a mix impression- even though rest of room was fine)
Rooms were very clean like the coffee set up for the guest and especially the water. Employees very pleasant and accommodating N/A
Great staff. The listing mentioned free parking. It was not- only 35% off
I LOVED being able to get seltzer water in the lobby 24/7 and I loved the coffee machine in the lobby, too! The computer workspaces in the lobby were also very, very helpful. It didn't have a lot of silly extras -- the rooms were spare but completely adequate. The maids actually left the towels alone if they were hanging (so they weren't laundered needlessly). My husband complained that the bathroom was so cramped and that he had to hold the toilet seat up when he wanted to pee. The fridge was in a cabinet which wasn't installed so well so it was tricky to close.
Excellent location. Nice lounge/lobby. We were not given the room we paid for. Instead we were placed in a room with one bed and our son had to sleep on a cot. They refused to adjust our charges. The next night we received a room with a sofa bed, but it had old sheets on it.
The room was never cleaned and we spent 3 nights until I complained to the manager. One of the elevators was broken all weekend which left a single elevator for all the guests and staff. The lines for the only working elevator were very long sometimes taking 20 to 30 minutes to be able to return to your room. Very disappointed. I asked fir an adjustment to our bill or some accommodation however nothing was done. We will not return.
It was a very comfortable and clean room. Probably taller than it was long but unless you're bringing a pop-up trailer with you there's plenty of room. The bed's comfy and the shower is really nice. They had a hair dryer to use. There's no fridge but that's not a huge deal. I would have liked to have a safe since it is a city, but it's not in a rough area. Some people complained about the two elevators, which is a bit odd but not so much so that you should be like the one guy I passed who was trying to figure out how to get out of the lobby (I mean he got in there in the first place, somehow). There's a big mall with a food court right across the street and all manner of fast food in the block between 15th-16th not to mention most everything you'd want to see or do is basically walking distance (under 1-1/2 miles - South Philly/Italian Market, Liberty Bell/Independence Hall, Eastern State, City Hall, Chinatown). I'd really recommend the hotel, and that you do walk places, don't take the tourist bus, you'll see a lot you wouldn't otherwise. Someone else complained about the parking, I had no issues, it's a city, you pay to park, and it's not like you're walking more than half a block (it is literally across the street). WiFi speed: 18-20MBps was what I got. The staff while extremely polite were not really the most helpful, everything was "It's not my call" when it came to business. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops just to get my stay extended, and they had me put down $50 per night for incidentals (would've been $150 if I'd used cash). There's no mini-bar and I wasn't planning on ordering room service, so this made no sense to me.
The room was a little dusty and the bedding looks worn. I found hair on the desk which was a little off putting. Otherwise the room was fair for the price and location.
Comfortable bed, good sized room, great location, great room service. The fire alarm kept going off throughout the night and we didn't have any hot water and could not shower in the morning.
Location is great rooms are small
I liked how cozy our room was. The snacks provided in the lobby were delicious! The location was amazing. We were able to walk everywhere, which had been our goal. Overall, excellent hotel! I wish the bathrooms were a bit bigger.
The hotel was very clean and cosy. The food was great as well. I highly recommend 13 Restaurant for breakfast and lunch. We asked for a room with two beds; one bed for me and my wife, and the other for our son. However, when we arrived, I was told that only single-bed rooms were available, so I had to order a bed for our son. Though, after two hours and three calls to the front desk, it never came and the three of us had to sleep in one bed together. Additionally, I didn't appreciate having to call downstairs and wait half an hour for a shower cap. Those should definitely come included with the room.
Great location, beautiful pool (with very accommodating hours) and clean & comfortable room. Very friendly, helpful staff.
Too big if anything. 8 minutes to get to/from room
The room was very clean and our stay was pleasant. The hotel is the place to stay if attending an event at the civic center.
Location is good. Beds not comfortable at all. Internet didn't work, unacceptable considering there is a extra charge Keep a bottle of water in the room!!
Hot apple cider in the lobby was a nice touch. Complimentary Wi-Fi not included?! Considering the room rates, I found this outrageous. Felt like a 3rd world country.
Central location, clean rooms, many hotel amenities, ease of check in and check out, responsive stadd. Room too small. Was told I would get two Queen beds and larger room and did not receive. Terrible view of construction site.
Sizable room with modern amenities with a very comfortable bed and pillows. Friendly, helpful staff. Great workout room. Convenient central location. Large, sociable bar and lounge area. There was a stain on my sheets; could tell that it was something that had been washed/dried into place, but still a little disappointing for a hotel chain of this quality. I was given a room accessible for persons with disabilities, which I was fine with, but was not asked by the check-in staff first. The only downside to the accessible room was that the doorless, tubless shower got water all over the bathroom floor and soaked the bathmat regardless of how I adjusted the shower-head. Really, these are just minor inconveniences from an otherwise great hotel. Would definitely come back.
Staff was excellent. Location great for location to market and historic visit to Philadelphia.
Clean, quiet, location No hot tub in the pool area
The hotel does not offer Reward points when I book through Kayak
We could walk to everything we wanted to do. It was NFL Draft and Penn Relays weekend so the room wasn't cheap - we wanted to stay 3 nights but could only afford 2.
Racist white staff.
Fitness center was nice and the room was clean. No rooms available at 3:00 check in. The desk clerk said he would call when a room is ready but he never called. The maid was the nicest hotel employee. The staff said they have self parking but that is not true, it is just side door valet parking.
Location A little dated and the front desk is a little all over place
King sized bed. Way over priced, took forever to get water sent up to our room, parking is expensive too...
Clean, friendly Expensive, not as many amenities as other hotels up the street
Very convenient location. Clean room. Good fitness center. Several other parking options less than a block away for less $ than hotel parking. The front desk staff were not very helpful upon check in and volunteered no information at all. Hotel has no in house lobby bar.
The hotel has a very nicely decorated interior and decent-sized rooms, especially for the location. Arrived at 3:30 pm and was told that my room was not ready. Had to walk around town for a while until I received their call that my room was ready, which I got at around 5:45 pm. I was only staying one night and I feel slightly ripped off as I was not able to relax and shower before an event I had at 6:30 pm.
Fitness facility is great. Some rooms are in need of a little tlc.
Luxurious rooms, great location, right next to Rittenhouse Square. Parc restaurant around the corner is amazing. Hotel was late getting my room ready. Tried to check in at 3, was told a room would be ready in half an hour. They never called to say it was ready, but when I went back to the desk at 5, they had plenty of rooms. Also, asked about complimentary airport shuttle and was told there was one every 30 minutes. Shuttle was on time, but the driver insisted it was not complimentary, charging me $10 when I got to the airport. Didn't have time to argue, but front desk should have been clear when I asked about a "complimentary" shuttle.
The location is great, and overall the hotel Is attractive and well maintained. Most of the staff are excellent, from the front desk to the cleaning staff. They were helpful and courteous. Relative to similar hotels in the area, it's a great value. This stay (our 4th, but first since it's no longer a radisson) we encountered a MAJOR problem at 4am, and with two young children to be displayed in the middle of the night without our belongings was awful. The night staff and cleaning staff were great but the manager on duty was unbelievably awful, as if we inconvenienced her when her shift started at 8 -- 4 hours after we started dealing with the issue. Instead of commiserating with awful circumstances and asking how we could be helped to be comforble, she mostly left us to or own devices to figure out clothing, food, and basics for two little children who'd been up all night, and had to be pressured to provide basic information about a plan for us to be able to leave. Unreal.
Huge room, comfortable bed This hotel is unsusuccessfully trying to be a luxury hotel, which it does look like. Looks aren't everything though. The way you're treated by the staff is most important in a luxury hotel. This where the Warwick falls flat on its face. The "doormen" never acknowledged us going in or out. When the bellman showed us to our room, we asked where the ice machine was, instead of filling our ice bucket, he showed us where we could get our own ice--pretty classy guy. Now for the maid service: When we showered the first morning, there ware only two hand towels, one of which we had to use as a bath mat. My husband asked one of the maids on our floor for a couple more hand towels. Her reply was that she had none! We had to call housekeeping to ask for extra hand towels and a bath mat. When our room was done that morning, we got a bath mat, but no hand towels. They also failed to replace our coffe, coffee cups and drinking glasses. We were givien an hour extension for check out, but our maid knocked on our door three times to ask when we were checking out. All three times she knocked on the door were before noon! If Radison wants to run this hotel as a high-end hotel, they need to actually train there entire staff how to serve their guests.
Fully recommend this hotel
Great location & value. The staff was EXCELLENT! It was very noisy. Kids screaming and running down the hall all day/night. Not the hotels fault, but did put a damper on the trip. Also, the room service food was awful. Poor quality and flavor.
Construction at an adjacent building seemed to go on all night long. Unable to have any silence or sleep. And then there was a taxi "horn-honking" demonstration in opposition to Uber. Worst hotel experience of my life.
I love the nicely decorated rooms and modern feel. Great location. Rooms not quietly. Could hear all traffic from the street and noise from other rooms and I was on the 9th floor. Would like to see Sonesta to replace those thin windows with something better.
It's clean, the rooms are really nice, and it's in a great location. I have no complaints. This place was awesome.
Noisy and crowded they day we were there a plain clean serviceable hotel Two things. Our room was between two college kid rooms with multiple tennants. They were polite but busy Other was we went to happy hour and the price was not honored
The bedding is super comfy and the overall look is modern and very pleasing. Great staff. The room was a tad too small for me.
Good size rooms
Beautiful boutique rooms N/A
The staff was friendly, respectful and professional.
the view and the room was lovely, the hotel is close to the city hall and to the museums. Bar on the first floor is good. The pool was not very clean (passable) and people had to ask several times for towels. The pool area can be a great place - just add some plants, get rid of ugly fence, put a bar there....
Great location to tourist sites. Rooms are moderdon, clean, spacious. Room are not very sound proof.
clean, nice staff, secured parking, spacious rooms, microwaves in room, no smoking, comfortable bed and sheets Daily parking was over $40/night
They found and provided a mailing tube for us so that we could pack a poster and didn't have to mail it home. I little pricier than I would have liked.
The Sofitel in Philadelphia is in a great location. It has beautifully appointed rooms, and the staff are gracious and warm. Typically, I feel very comfortable in any room I stay in. However this time, the air conditioner didn't work properly, and the shower didn't drain properly. It did dampen my enjoyment of the hotel.
The whole staff is professional and friendly. When they say hello,good morning or ask how your stay is going, it's all sincere. It doesn't sound like a chore or they're just doing their job, they really care!
Love the hotel and the location. The bar was nice and the French fries late night were amazing. Met an old friend in Philly for one evening. We had a great day in the city, a wonderful dinner and retired to the room at eight PM to get reacquainted. At 10:15 we had a hotel staff member knock on our door to tell us we had noise complaints and to keep it down!!! There was also a note under our door say pleas keep it down the walls are very thin!!! Really??? 10:15??? And they want Philly to be known for the city of LOVE but only if you whisper! Disappointed the staff actually came up to tell me that. I will not be staying there again if I am doing anything but sleeping!
The staff and service were impeccable.
Location is perfect for shopping and eating. Room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. Loved the slippers, thick towels and soft sheets. Lanvin bath products - wow! Nothing. I would easily stay here again if I can find a good rate.
There were many stains on mattresses, Knicks on walls and doors, bedside glasses were not cleaned/replaced each day, gym was filthy with sweat stains on machines and equipment and floor. This hotel is desperately in need of an upgrade/remodel
Te walls are paper thin. You can hear what everyone is doing around you.
Had a prepaid reservation for Sofitel and arrived a day late due to a family emergency. I did not have time to call the previous day and when I arrived the manager said they had cancelled my reservation, charged me for one day and that he 'would help me find another hotel.' Pathetic, at least could have called me before they cancelled my reservation. Never stay at the Philadelphia Sofitel again.
Everyone was friendly, my room was rather large and I enjoyed the ambience. My room was mainly clean but I felt like certain surfaces needed another wipe.
The staff was the best part. They went above and beyond to make my stay the best it could be. I wish the breakfast was included during the week. Needing to order breakfast in the morning is very time consuming.
Excellent location. Great bed. Gym was good
Great location; in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. Expensive parking.
The valets were very friendly, helpful and accomadating. Room was clean and the tv had a great HD picture. Check in staff ignored me while I stood there staring at them waiting to check in because they were on the phone. As soon as they were done some jerk jumped the line because he wanted to talk to a manager and they catered to him for another 5 mins before helping anyone else. Room smelled like stale cigarettes and the bathroom sink wouldn't drain.
Location was prefect for walking around town to all the sites
The staff was gracious and helpful Dust covered the room and the toilet had cardboard trash in it upon arrival. Staff took care of the problem after being notified. The cost for parking at $45.00 a night was ridiculous.
Excellent location, exceptional staff, great restaurant and bar. Nice room and a comfortable bed as well as a pretty good WiFi connection (best I have experience in a while at a hotel). Walls were a little thin. We could hear people in the hall coming and going as if they were almost in the room.
Front desk was very accommodating upgraded us to deluxe king room upon check in Concierge not very helpful. Asked twice for recommendations on transportation and wanted to push private car which was theost expensive option vs any other public transportation which we opted for.
The staff and hotel were wonderful. They ran out of cucumber water, but we did drink a lot of it.
Very friendly staff. Great view of the city from my room. Walls are thin, and you could here the neighboring room to well.
The room was very comfortable and yet stylish. The location is absolutely perfect. The highlight of our stay was the incredibly attentive and friendly staff. We highly recommend staying at Loews Philadelphia Hotel!
Location & room were great Air conditioning was bad, after repair it was barely adecuate
My friend and I stayed for only 1 evening to see a concert at the Electric Factory.
Robes, shower was nice , room was quiet. 4 large men given a king bed and a roll away .... We didn't fit in beds comfortably, one ended up sleeping on the floor. Valet parking took a long time and left all 4 windows down in my car.
Location was great and rooms were overall quite clean. A little beaten up, but otherwise quaint. Lobby bar and front desk staff were very nice. Someone trying to get into our room in the middle of the night and the cleaning staff thinking 830 am is an okay time to come clean the room.
Great location, fair pricing, nice rooms for a city hotel. No gift shop, though it is in the middle of a city so you could find things for sale elsewhere.
We enjoyed out stay and had a nice room toward the back side of the hotel where street noise was less than rooms facing the front. There was some loud guests at 2am that were not quieting down even when security were engaged.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Philadelphia Center City is a class act! From the efficient, friendly check in to check out, we were treated as special guests. The staff actually cared that we had a pleasant, comfortable stay. We asked the staff for recommendations on moderately priced restaurants close-by and were pleased with our choice from their list. Our room was comfortable, quiet, pleasantly decorated and well stocked with adequate amenities. This is our third year staying at the Double Tree for the annual Philadelphia Flower Show and we have never been disappointed.
Parking was easy, front desk staff was polite and helpful - but housekeeping was loud and crass outside of our room in the early hours. Be careful if you are located in room 1602 - the housekeeping staff 'breakroom' is right outside your door. Directions for ice would have been nice - rather than the scavenger hunt I ended up going on.
Great location, good amenities, will stay here again Nothing really
Right in the heart of downtown Philly. The hotel was centrally located to many attractions and shopping. Also really close to public transit. I was on the 16th floor and I could still hear the traffic noise in my room.
We booked the best suite on the 26th floor for our wedding night. The hotel gave two sets of our room key out so when we went up to sleep at 2am after our wedding, there was someone else's items in our room. They downgraded us to the open room on the 8th floor. I was not given a refund as the manager said it was an equivalent room... It wasn't. :(
The hotel was located near many of the downtown attractions and the staff was very friendly. We had a small issue with toilet (didn't flush well - may have been blocked). The people staying next door were load and let their door slam at 2:15 am.
I think the front desk staff were amazing- it was the quickest chec-in and check-out I've ever experienced. The cookies upon check-in were literally a warm touch. The room was a decent size- with a great view of the city from the eighth floor. The pool hours were until 11pm- which was great because I got in on the late side. There was also a decent gym and a sauna with lockers that you could put a code in and use. The decor in the room was somewhat dated and showing its age. The bathroom was small and it took maneuvering to close the door. If you need absolute quite to sleep it may be a problem because you can hear the traffic from the 8th floor and any hallway activity as well. The cleaning people knocked at 8am to clean- when I was checking out anyway, so I could of done without the disruption.
Clean hotel and great price , good location . Staff was friendly and room was very nice PArking is $28 for one night
The hotel and staff were extraordinary. i was always greeted upon leaving and entering the hotel. Oftentimes the bellman or concierge would ask if I needed anything. I must have looked a bit lost!!! The situation detailed below needs to be addressed because other than that, the room was most comfortable with a lovely view of City Hall northward Amanda in housekeeping was excellent in refreshing my room and being extra certain there was no detail that was omitted There wasn't anything "I didn't like!" However, The only "hiccup" I experienced was a slight odor of tobacco in. my room at the end of each day. When I notified the front desk they were quick to put a plan in place to remedy the problem. Unfortunately, the odor continued and was probably a function of the odor of the carpet, drapery and bedding.
The manager took great care of us after she was told about our disappointments. She was wonderful and made our second night much better than the first. Most of the other staff were very friendly and accommodating. The facility is extremely old along with the heating/air conditioning units. Our sheets had a hole in them. Had disappointment with 2 staff members who were a bit rude. Felt the crowd that hung out in the hotel bar and/or were staying at the hotel were a bit trashy. For the price per night, we could stay at the Sofitel or Four Seasons and get better accommodations.
Awesome building champagne at checkin have had many enjoyable and memorable stays. Understaffed, poor service sub par to other Ritz hotels. We were provided with wrong room on arrival. Room was somewhat dated and curtains had large weird stains on them. Carpet in room was also stained making it feel dirty. Restaurant service was horrible / waited 40 mins for a table then waited another 15 mins to get acknowledged by staff. Used express checkout, left some negative comments and asked for emailed updated portfolio via email - never received. I've had better service and value for money in other not so "refined" hotels.
The staff was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable of the city. We had a great experience! They must have given our room away before we checked in. Our group of 3 friends got one king bed so we had to use a roll-away cot, which wasn't the most comfortable thing.
Wonderful service, beautiful hotel. The beds and linens are very comfortable, as are the bath robes they lay out for you. We were celebrating a birthday and the extra touches were very much appreciated. The rooms can use a bit of updating, but all in all it was an excellent experience and will likely return again next year for another birthday celebration!
room and atmosphere were gorgeous. staff very professional.
It was comfortable and quiet. The staff was well trained and gracious. It was well located for me.
Beautiful spa and facilities The restaurant closes too early.
The hotel rooms were luxurious and left no stone unturned as far as comfort and cleanliness. They thought of everything even as far as robes, slippers, newspapers, umbrella.
We planned a quick last minute evening in the city and booked the hotel on a whim due to its location and proximity to our favorite part of town. In terms of location, this place can't be beat. You're within walking distance of what seems like hundreds of fantastic restaurants and highlife hotspots. The hotel staff is courteous and made us feel instantly welcomed and at home. My only criticism is that the room was a bit dated. It needs renovated. The shower definitely seen better days and looks like it was last done in the early 90s. The bed was very comfortable and we slept pretty good.
Exceptional service that is sincere and not cloying. Staff is excellent, rooms are large and the bed is incredibly comfortable. My favorite hotel in Philadelphia. I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The spa is also spectacular. They are dog friendly yet you can't tell if dogs are really there. The rooms are solidly built and I am sensitive to dogs barking. No dogs barking here! The hallways and elevators are immaculate. This is just a wonderful hotel. The closest to European luxury with space.
the service was excellent with attention to detail.
Very accommodating staff, large room, great location. Well appointed. The air conditioner shuddered loudly each time it turned off.
Absolutely LOVED staying here. My boyfriend and I stayed here after the marathon. Bottled water when we arrived, champagne and the staff upgraded our room! We got there 3 hours earlier for check-in and because our Queen room wasn't ready yet and my boyfriend was visibly exhausted from the marathon, they gave us a King room that was ready. The rooms are the perfect size, comfortable bed, clean bathroom with amenities, and room service was fantastic. Free wine social hour by the fire was incredible. Hotel is centrally located with a lot of great food surronding. We'lol be staying here anytime we're in Philly! 18% gratuity and 5$ service charge placed on the food service is a bit excessive. The lady (who was so sweet) brought the tray into our room and had me sign a receipt that had a tip option on it. Just mad it a little uncomfortable. It didn't take away how amazing the food was though!
My fiance and I visited for the holiday weekend. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room ammentities were updated. Great views of city (of your on the right side of the building). king size bed was nice to have although it wasn't especially soft. Room was cleaned every afternoon for when we returned. They have decent free wine ever day between 6 and 7. The hotel lobby and elevators and hallways were nicely decorated, full of art. Room size was just average, didn't have much if any more room compared to other hotels. The shower was nothing special, same size and same shower head I would find at a 2 or 3 star hotel. Nothing was inclusive except for a few toiletries you may have forgotten at home. We had a weird Brown smudge on one of our end table drawers that room service had to clean up. Only 4 elevators for 25 floors of rooms was bad, if your in the top floor like we were we had to stop at 4-5 floors going up or down before we arrived at our room or the lobby. Ice is Only on one flone which is extremely inconvenient. These negatives were a big let down, overshadowing the positives for the price you pay.
I have stayed at Kimpton hotels on the east and west coasts and I have always had an excellent stay. The rooms are clean and well decorated, the rates reasonable, the staff warm and welcoming and the customer service exemplary.
The hotel was pet friendly Hotel need a pool
We were in town for a wedding and gifted our reservation for Hotel Palomar to the newlyweds for the evening after their wedding. The staff at Hotel Palomar was fantastic- they quickly and easily added names to the reservation and a bottle of prosecco and lovely note was in the room when they arrived. They loved the room and we loved knowing they were well taken care of! No complaints!
Friendly staff. Good location. $50 for valet parking. Still not sure where they parked the car....
Great located, clean and comfiy. pretty new rooms. Nice staff No free wifi (pretty oldfashioned) No parking, 48 $ for one day valet was pretty expensive.
I liked a LOT on December 12 Santa klaus with all the dogs around It Was simple delightfull. For me a 10 Star hotel. We spend 3 weeks and we enjoyed
My hubby and infant stayed at this hotel for new years day, and we loved our experience. It was convenient to downtown philly, our city view king was spacious for a downtown hotel, and the hotel extras, like happy hour, morning coffee, and all day hot cocoa were lovely!
Friendly and accommodating staff Plenty of nearby restaurants No business center (but front desk was helpful)
We loved the service and the wine hour. Great ambiance in the lobby. Will definitely stay at Kimpton hotels again. None.
Location 1) Room was extremely small and uncomfortable. 2) AC Fan cycled on and off every 15 seconds or so keeping me awake during most of my first night there. I reported this to the front desk and asked that it be fixed, but was not. I had to turn off the AC the next two nights in order to sleep. 3) We had booked several rooms for a wedding party. Only 1 was available for check in at the advertised check in time. 4) Only 4 elevators for a 25 story building made getting from floor to floor very difficult. For example: getting coffee and ice (each available at only 1 location in whole hotel) took an unacceptably long time due to long elevator waits. 5) Staff was not very helpful. One of our guests left an item in another room. I had to follow up with lost and found 3 times before I was able to get it back. 6) in short...while I've stayed in many hotels in my life, this is one of the worst experiences I have had. Next time I will stay in a Red Roof or similar....my experiences there have been much better. This was certainly the poorest "value for dollar" that I've ever experienced.
The room was modern and aesthetically pleasing, with comfortable beds and linnens. It's not a big issue, but they gave me the wrong room type, and overall there wasn't a whole lot of attention to detail.
Very modern with a side of vintage appeal. Awesome doorman Old hair dryers. Scratched mirrors. Dirty Windows.
Clean,comfortable and welcoming
The friendly atmosphere in this stylish, classy hotel. The rain.....but the hotel had complimentary umbrellas in the entrance hall.a very welcome touch as we'd forgotten ours!
Interesting hotel since it had been a YMCA before The elevator gave a lot of trouble.
Clean rooms City Hall views Lobby bar with friendly bartender Friendly and accommodating front desk staff Diminutive gym Broken solar shade in room
Staff was absolutely amazing!!! Location is two blocks away from convention center, reading terminal market and major attractions. We stayed in a interior room and didn't hear a sound. We will def stay here every time we visit Philly. Rooms are a bit on the small side. Lighting is very dim in the room.
Nothing The valet misinformed us about the parking. They strongly recommended we pay 50$ for valet parking rather than on the street. The hotel room was not very ideal or modern for the price. The towels and bed sheets smelled as if they had not been changed or washed. The hotel did NOT provide amenities, and the shower products provided were very low quality and would not use them on my body. There are plenty other choices in Philadelphia and would not recommend this La meridian.
The room was very nice and fit our needs well. We thought the bed was as comfortable or even more comfortable than ours at home, which says a lot. Our shower didn't work. After a hot night outside at the Cold Play concert, we wanted to take showers before going to bed. However, when you pull the knob to turn on the shower, it came right out of the faucet. It was almost 1 am in the morning and we didn't want to call anyone. So we opted to take a bath but it was not what we wanted. Hence the reason I only gave the hotel a "Good" rating.
This Westin is very well located! It is located directly across the street from the HUB Cityview for business meetings. It is one mile from the Liberty Bell, so the walk was great. There were plenty of restaurants to pick from around the area without going by cab. The Westin has a very nice bar which served us some very nice dinners. The staff was over the top great. Our room was so nice. A fall festival which was quite large was set up for Saturday right near the Westin. It was a great experience for us!
they overbooked. I had to find other accommodations.
The rooms are beautiful. We stayed on the top floor (15th). There is always an elevator available. The staff was very friendly. The shower was the best I've ever used in a hotel. It had a HUGE rainfall style top with a wand for all the hard to reach places and adjustable water pressure. The hot water was nice and HOT. And the bed was amazing! The view of the nearby skyscrapers was beautiful and it's in the best location to shop till you drop! I would stay again but I would only book through kayak because I got the room for about $100 less per night!!!! The only downside was that I requested a quiet room and found the ice machine directly across the hall from me. I only heard a few people in the hall so it could have been worse.
Location Amenities
Location, shopping convenience, room decor, Large Smart TV, Raiin shower, Bed and comforter. All terrific. Nothing not to like
Great location and atmosphere Prices of food and drink
The location was great. It was very close to everything. The staff was friendly and helpful. It wasn't worth the money for what you got. It nickel and dimes customers for everything and amenities were overpriced. Parking, snacks, water. There isn't a microwave or fridge in the rooms. A fridge was provided upon request but it was not in the best physical shape. The tub and cups weren't the cleanest
The bed was really nice. The toilet seat needed to be replaced.
I had a quick one night stay in Philadelphia and chose the beautiful Westin. My room was first class,and service was exceptional. I will definitely stay here again .
Attentive staff Noise between rooms
I cannot think of one thing negative to say about it. It was just lovely in every way. Everything was perfect.
It would be nice to have some kind if discounted parking. Also, we had dinner in the hotel's restaurant and would only give it 1-2 star. Would not eat there again.
The room was gorgeous and the staff were very nice. The bed was way too soft. And the walls are thin so we we were woken up through the night by a group next door to us. We finally called the front desk at 4:30 and they addressed the issue.
The hotel was beautiful, the employees were very kind, and the room was perfect for our overnight stay. We walked to the Reading terminal market, and we were across the street from the subway station. Couldn't have asked for a better location! The valet parking was a bit pricey but it was very convenient and no stress.
The location was great, room and hotel was beautifully decorated, and the price was so reasonable. I would definitely come back! $50 to park your car is kind of expensive but you get a full 24 hours.
Front desk staff was very accommodating. The phone operators for reservations were very rude. I spoke to several ones during the week before my stay. Only the last one I spoke to was helpful. I ended up double booking because I was told by a staff member earlier in the week that they couldn't find me on record of having booked a room so I ended up booking another. When it came close to check in, I was told that I indeed had booked the initial room. The last lady I spoke was very understanding and cancelled that initial room since I booked the second one through a third party.
I loved the building it was very classic Philadelphia and very comfortable. It was very clean and the rooms were well kept. The bed was extremely comfortable! The night staff didn't seem as up beat as the morning staff - but then again they are working nights. They did their jobs and got my room key to me in very little time. :)
When I arrived to the marriott to find out kayak never reserved my room, the kind marriott staffer jumped into action (and also revealed this was the 4th time that week that he had to deal with kayak's inefficiency)
We had a wonderful stay at this clean modern hotel... It's location could not have been any better. Will definitely stay here again.
Location My room was not ready till 5pm.
Location is good, although there are 2 different Marriott hotels next door. We went to the wrong one first and already had valet parked our car before we realized it was the hotel next door. Received an email confirming room would be ready by 3, upon arrival at 4 we were notified room was not ready and would be 45min. We were told they would call us when ready but after hour an a half of no call we went back to find there was a credit card issue which could have easily been resolved if they would have called. Wasted time wandering around downtown
Everything, location was great for everyone to enjoy. There's a Marriott with full service next door, a Hard Rock and bunch or restaurants. Is also located on a historical area. N/a
This was out 4th time staying and it was just as before. Clean friendly convenient and FANCY! It's a little hard to grab a cab/uber out front, but that's the city. No reflection on the hotel at all.
It was centrally located with easy acces to everything. Room was a little sparse for decoration and extra comforts.
Everything. Service, quality . Towels could be upgraded.
Everything, happy staff, welcoming, clean rooms, awesome views, definitely would recommend this hotel.
One of the Best hotels in the city. Beautiful architecture and very nice rooms. High ceilings beautiful city views. Everything u need is right there. Great gym!
Beautiful hotel. Great staff. Poor sound control between rooms. I could easily hear conversations next door.
Staff professionalism King size bed. Clean room. People in the room next door were talking loudly until 2 am! The first night I got absolutely no sleep. It required a cab ride to get to my conference at the Conference Center.
People were nice and helpful. Breakfast was decent and family friendly. $40 for parking for the night is a bit ridiculous. Wasn't a fan of the bedding. My family has a tendency to toss and turn and by the morning the sheets had mostly all come off my bed and the same for my daughters. Not a huge deal but a fitted sheet would have been n ice.
Paying 40 a day for parking was crazy, other than that it was awesome
The cleanliness and modern decor was very inviting and appealing. Breakfast ending at 9 instead of 10; there's no validated parking, paying $34 for parking is ridiculous.
facility was very nice. staff very accommodating the air in our first room didn't work. After an hour of being in the room the temperature was still 78 degrees. Engineering said the people who had that room before us had the same problem. They shouldn't have sold that room again until it was fixed. But... they moved all of our belongings while we went out to dinner and were very nice and helpful.
Right across the street from the wonderful Reading Market and the Convention Centre, and next door to a great burger place. Staff was wonderful. Room was spacious. Free coffee and tea all day! Heating was a little weird. The air conditioner was powerful and came on automatically until we turned it off, but then there was little air ventilation. Certainly not the end of the world.
Great breakfast. Clean and modern rooms. Excellent location
Location location location. Kitchenette, room decor, foot shelf in shower (not important to all, but us gals appreciate it!), good climate control, room key access for elevator (great for security). No lotion in room (I forgot mine), no place to get wine and/or beer for the room in the evening, parking garage is really complicated set up, no access to hotel from garage and difficult to navigate. One of my wash towels was soiled (ick).
Location, Price, and Kitchen. Parking situation, bed took sometime getting used to and accessibility for Internet.

Cross Country to Begin 2013 Season Friday in Nashville
By Jacob Most
Aug 29, 2013 -
Entry Lists | Live Results | Meet Information
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - All eyes around the Kentucky athletics world will focus on Nashville on Saturday, but the UK cross country teams will kick off the weekend - and the 2013 season - in the same city with the Belmont Opener of Friday.
Both the men and women will race across the same 5,000 meter course at Percy Warner Park. The veteran Wildcats are familiar with the course having competed in the same meet last season, as well as at the same park for the 2012 SEC Championships.
The meet will pit eight teams on the women's side, and nine teams on the men's side against one another, including Southeastern Conference foes Vanderbilt and Tennessee.
The women's race will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET and the men's race will start at 7 p.m.
"Pretty simply this is year two of a journey we began last season," second-year head coach Edrick Floreal said. "We're looking forward to moving on to cross country and getting our team to do better than last year. That is our goal from year to year: to keep improving, and put a product out there, which is worthy of what the University of Kentucky deserves."
The UK women's team will be led in 2013 by Cally Macumber. She won three races, including the SEC Championship and NCAA Southeast Regional, before placing sixth at the NCAA Championships with a school record 6k time in 2012.
Macumber was undefeated at Warner Park in 2012 having won both the SEC Individual Championship and the Belmont Opener.
The UK women's team returns three All-Southeast Region selections to the 2013 squad: Macumber, Anna Bostrom and Allison Peare. The Wildcat women tied Duke for the most All-Region runners from the Southeast in 2013.
Kentucky will welcome five newcomers to the women's cross country team as the 2013 season begins.
Leading the way for the Wildcat men in 2013 will be Matt Hillenbrand, who enjoyed a breakout campaign on the track last season. Hillenbrand won the SEC Mile Championship and was second in the Conference 1,500m Championships. He reached the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 1,500m and was All-American in the event.
The UK men's cross country team will also take on a fresh feel this season, welcoming new men's cross country and distance coach Sean Graham as well as 14 newcomer competitors. Hakon DeVries begins his second season as women's cross country and distance coach.
The UK women begin the season ranked fifth in the southeast region; while the men are preseason No. 13 in the southeast.
Both the UK men's and women's teams were picked to finish seventh in the SEC this season. The men and women finished sixth and fifth respectively at the conference championships last season.
Kentucky will have five regular season meets in 2012, highlighted by the program's first home meet in more than a decade. The Bluegrass Cross Country Invitational will be held at Masterson Station Park on Saturday, Sept. 14 - the day of the UK vs. Louisville football game - at 9:30 a.m. ET.
The SEC Championships will be hosted by Florida on Nov. 2 followed by NCAA Regionals two weeks later before the NCAA Championship Meet returns to its traditional home, Terre Haute, Ind. on Nov. 23.

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 8, 2013) — State Sen. Randy Head (R-Logansport) today announced new legislation aimed at protecting children and staff members in schools.
Senate Bill 345 would require each school corporation, including charter schools, to develop a policy that reduces the use of physical restraint or seclusion when students become aggressive.
"Over the summer, the General Assembly's Autism Commission reviewed evidence showing the horrible, but unintended consequences restraint and seclusion can have," Head said. "There have been reports of students dying due to the well-meaning actions of untrained individuals. While this is a rare situation, it is a tragedy that should never have to happen. We can prevent this by making certain our teachers and staff members are prepared for these situations."
Head said his plan would require school policies to include statements on the following:
Additionally, the policy must provide requirements for time limits and enclosures used for seclusion, adult supervision in the event of isolation, appropriate documentation and immediate parent notification. Schools must also require training for employees on the appropriate use of restraint and seclusion as well as effective alternatives.
"There are times when seclusion and restraint may be necessary to stop a student from harming someone," Head said. "But we can't leave that open to interpretation. Putting policies like this in place will help ensure our students are treated with care, regardless of the situation."
Head filed SB 345 yesterday at the opening of the 2013 legislative session.

On July 19, 2013, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the OECD) issued its Action Plan regarding Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) at the G20 leadership meeting of finance ministers in Moscow. Following a call from G20 leaders to address base erosion and profit shifting, the Action Plan addresses the perceived flaws in international tax and transfer pricing rules that were discussed in the OECD's February 2013 BEPS Report (see PKN dated February 13, 2013). The main thrust of the Action Plan is a proposal of 15 separate action points. The OECD states that "fundamental changes are needed to effectively prevent double non-taxation" which, the OECD argues, is harmful to governments, individual taxpayers, and large and small businesses.
The 15 action points regard transparency and disclosure actions, treaty-related actions, and permanent establishment (PE) and transfer pricing actions. This publication will focus on the transfer pricing aspects of the Action Plan.

Shots fired at Gresham apartments
At 11:50 p.m. Monday, Gresham Police received numerous reports of shots that had been fired in the area of the Sunset Station Apartments in the 17700 block of NE Glisan Street. Multiple residents of the apartments, as well as other area residents, were calling 911 to report hearing between four and fifteen shots in the parking lot of the apartments. An unknown number of people in the parking lot were also seen running into one of the apartments immediately following the shots being fired.
When police arrived, they located a car parked in the middle of the parking lot, but it is unknown if the car was involved in the incident. During the early stages of the investigation, officers located at least one hole in the wall of an apartment. Inside that apartment, a person had received a minor injury by being struck by an unknown object. That person was treated by medics and taken to a local hospital as a precautionary measure with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.
Police evacuated multiple apartments to ensure the safety of residents during the investigation. Officers contacted four people inside the apartment where people were seen running into. Detectives and officers from the Gang Unit responded to the scene and are interviewing those people to determine their involvement in this incident. Crime Scene Investigators also responded to begin the process of collecting evidence. No arrests have been made at this time.
Anyone with additional information about this case is encouraged to call the Gresham Police. The Gresham Police tip line is 503.618.2719 (local) or 1.888.989.3505 (out of area).

Johnsonville High School, Wilson High School and Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate School took top honors at the recent Pee Dee Regional High School Mathematics Tournament.
The tournament, sponsored by Francis Marion University and the Pee Dee Education Center, was held in the university's McNair Science Building's Chapman Auditorium recently.
The 36th-annual event featured more than 250 students from 17 area schools. Participating schools were divided into Division I, II and III schools. Schools with A and AA athletic classifications were considered Division I, while AAA and AAAA athletic classifications were considered Division II. Division III consists of private schools in the Pee Dee.
High schools participating included: Creek Bridge, Hannah-Pamplico, Hemingway, Johnsonville, Marion and Mullins in Division I; Darlington, Hartsville, Marlboro, Mayo High School for Math, Science and Technology, West Florence and Wilson in Division II; and Carolina Academy, The King's Academy, Marlboro Academy, Robert E. Lee Academy and Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate in Division III.
All students participated in a one-hour, 16-question, written competition during the morning portion of the tournament.
Jeff Chin of Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate School recorded the highest individual result on the exam. Paul Lee of Wilson High School and Niravkumar Patel of West Florence High School took second and third places, respectively.
Those receiving honorable mentions in the written competition were Zack Coleman of Marion High School; Brock Fletcher of Mayo High School for Math, Science & Technology; Amanda Harrelson and Yaping Yang of Mullins High School; Jonathan Ma and Tej Patel of Wilson High School; and Courtney Squires of Johnsonville High School.
The top four individual test scores from each school were combined to create a team score. The four schools in each division with the highest team score qualified for the afternoon finals. The finals consisted of four individuals from each qualifying school answering questions flashed onto an overhead screen. Points were awarded to the first, second, and third persons who answered correctly.
In Division I, Johnsonville High School defeated Marion High School (runner up), and in Division II, Wilson defeated West Florence High School (runner up). Among Division III schools, Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate School defeated The King's Academy (runner up).

Nine Inch Nails return to top ten with 'Hesitation Marks'
Listen to Nine Inch Nails on iHeartRadio
Nine Inch Nails are enjoying a place they haven't been in more than six years - the Billboard 200 top ten.
The latest effort from Trent Reznor's band, Hesitation Marks, debuted at number three on the album chart this week after selling 107,000 copies in its opening frame. It's the group's sixth top-ten release overall, but the first since Year Zero peaked at number 2 in 2007 with 187,000 copies sold.
Reznor put out two other Nine Inch Nails albums between then and now, but both The Slip and Ghosts 1-4 were released independently and failed to crack the chart's upper tier. Hesitation Marks is the group's first album since they signed with Columbia Records.

An icon is a small picture or symbol that serves as an intuitive representation of the content of a website.Because of their condensed size and versatility, icons are a simple, effective way to transmit information in an abbreviated pictorial form to the user. They can fulfil these functions far more effectively than words on the screen. Iconic images are often applied to illustrations and have become inseparable from the Flat Design trend. When an icon forms part of an interface, the most common thing to see is the use of icon fonts or scalable SVG images..

ARTistic Pursuits – Review
Are you artistic? I am not, even though many of my friends believe me to be crafty, my success with crafts comes from being able to follow directions and having the right people who can pull off my grand scheme ideas! So I wondered, "How am I going teach Art to the girls?" Have you wondered the same thing? I have the answer, ARTistic Pursuits, a comprehensive art program, designed to involve the child in the creative process while developing observational skills. I got to review,the NEW 3rd edition Middle School 6-8 Book One: The Elements of Art and Composition.
Can I just tell you that when this book came in the mail, there was actual shouts of joy and jumping involved, and we hadn't even opened the book!
Middle School 6-8 Book One: The Elements of Art and Composition contains 16 units with four lessons per unit, each unit includes an exercise in creativity, art history and appreciation, techniques, and exploration of various subject matter. The lessons are written in a manner that allows Amber to work independently. The schedule in the book recommends that you schedule Art twice a week and lasting a hour each time. But Amber wanted to do Art every day, so we scheduled it for four days for about 30 mins each lesson.
Thankfully we had most of the supplies, but don't worry you can order them from ARTistic Pursuits too.
Amber was so excited to start. The title of Unit 1 was Space, a lesson on maximizing as much space available. She was not happy with the Lesson 1's outcome of her picture(she wouldn't even let me post it) but by lesson 3 she was happy and doing wonderful. Top left is her rough sketch and top right a detailed sketch. The bottom left is from Unit 2 a quick sketch of my Tiger Lilies. I thought she did a great job!!
ARTistic Pursuits has books for preschool through high school, each $47.95 which you can order here.
Check out what the rest of the Crew is saying about Artistic Pursuits!
Wishing you many Blessings

Brevard, N.C. - The 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference men's and women's cross country championship takes place Saturday at Wingate University in Wingate, N.C.
The men's championship race will start at 10 a.m. with the women's championship race starting at 10:15 a.m.
Freshmen Jordan Tager (New Smyrna Beach, Fla.) and Angela Canale (Medford, NJ) look to lead the Tornados into the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference cross country championship races. Tager has been Brevard's top-finisher in all but one race this season for the men. Tager's best finish was 11th place finish back on October 9th at Furman University. Canale has been the Tornados leader all season on the women's side as well. She has placed in the top five in three of the team's five races this season. Her best came back on September 25th when BC competed in the Bulldog Stampede at Wingate University. Canale placed second in the race.
The Mars Hill College men are the defending champions and are ranked fifth in the Southeast Region by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The Lions have won the conference championship for 13 consecutive years.
Justin Gragg has been the top runner this season for the Lions. Gragg was named the SAC's Runner of the Week twice this season, including following his ninth-place finish at the Royal Cross Country Challenge, when he posted the second-best 8K time in conference history. Gragg finished third overall at last year's championship. Trey McCain, who finished fourth overall last year, also returns, as do All-Conference runners Aaron Thomas and Eric Blackburn.
Lenoir-Rhyne University is ranked ninth in the Southeast Region. The Bears are led by Tyler Mooney, who finished fifth in last year's race, and Jakob Maidens, a two-time All-Conference runner and the 2008 Freshman Runner of the Year. Aaron Nelson has been one of the top freshman runners in the league this season.
Simon Holzapfel from Tusculum College returns to defend his Runner of the Year title. Holzapfel has been the SAC Runner of the Week four times this year and has won all five meets he has competed in this season.
Other top returning men's runners include Catawba's Christian Crifasi, who was the 2009 Freshman of the Year after his sixth-place finish; Wingate's Steve Hammond, who won last week's Pre-SAC Invitational on the Wingate course; Carson-Newman's Jonathan Madden; Lincoln Memorial's Derrick Lindsay; Newberry's Brad House and Anderson's Nigel Reynolds.
The Lenoir-Rhyne University women are the two-time defending champions and are led by junior Kate Griewisch, the defending SAC and Southeast Region runner of the year. This season, Griewisch has been the SAC Runner of the Week four times. She won the L-R Invitational and was the top Division II finisher in several other races. Lenoir-Rhyne is ranked seventh in the most recent USTFCCCA region rankings. Tiffany Payne, who finished fifth in the SAC championship last year, and Amanda Barnes have also had some high finishes for the Bears this season.
Anderson University is ranked fifth in the region. The first-year conference member Trojans will be shooting for their first SAC championship. Anderson's Whitney Bishoff won the Conference Carolinas meet last year and finished second in the region meet, seven seconds behind Lenoir-Rhyne's Griewisch.

The entire list
New Information
A9 TV: August 23rd, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan. In the Qur'an, Allah says; "You who are enveloped in your cloak! Arise and warn." The enveloped Mahdi will appear, insha'Allah. While this envelope is opening, there is torment, there is pain. When a woman gives birth to a baby, she also feels pain but after that the baby is born. There is a birth pain. The ones who are patient, are doing a very good deed.
A9 TV: March 16th, 2010
ADNAN OKTAR: Look how the Surah Al-Muddaththir, the 74th surah, begins; "You who are enveloped in your cloak! Arise and warn." "You who are hidden". There is a sign of Hazrat Mahdi here at the same time. "Arise and warn". Warn the people now, insha'Allah.
A9 TV: November 30th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: In the Qur'an, they say: "Oh Lord send us a Sultan, send us a leader, a commander". This is the prayer of the Muslims, it is a verse. It is very clear in the verse that, waiting for Hazrat Mahdi, a commander, a leader is a blessing and a beauty, and also a form of worship for Muslims. Always prophets have been waited for. Our Prophet(pbuh) said; "Hear the glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi(saas)". Our Prophet tell us the signs of Hazrat Mahdi. He tells us to look for these signs and he tells us to be watchful for Hazrat Mahdi when we see these signs. For Jesus, Son of Mary, Allah says: "He is a sign of the Hour". And what do they say; "...weakness, infirmity and waiting the favor and the labor from the other." In the Qur'anic verse, Allah says: "Wait". He commands us to wait for a leader and He says that this is a beauty. For example, in the story of Goliath and Saul, Allah sends Saul as the imam, as the leader. It is an obligation for Muslims to wait for a leader. It is an obligation for them to ask for a leader. Muslims cannot be without a head, without a leader.
26 October 2013, Rota News
Rota News Columnist Oğuz Düzgün wrote in his column that people always look for a savior (Messiah),by citing the movies Avatar, Matrix and the Lord of the Rings as examples. He also said that this savior is very close to us and there is a sign of this savior in the first three verses of Surah Al-Muddaththir.
You who are enveloped in your cloak! Arise and warn. Magnify your Lord. (Surah Al-Muddaththir, 1- 3)

Gallery: El Monte Job Fair
Related: California jobless rate falls to 8.6%, lowest in nearly 5 years
EL MONTE - Thousands of eager job seekers converged on the El Monte Community Center on Friday, each in search of that ever elusive prize -- a job.
The event drew more than 2,000 people and featured 55 employers, ranging from trash collector Valley Vista Services, Norm's Restaurants and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, to Ironworkers Local 416 and Right at Home, an in-home care and assistance agency.
"We made a point of only inviting employers who have job openings," said El Monte Councilman Juventino "J" Gomez, who coordinated the event. "There are quite a few available jobs. Border Patrol alone has about 1,800 openings."
The AppleOne employment agency had another 140 openings and Mercedes Diaz Homes, another assisted living agency, had more than 400 openings, according to Don Lindgren, a career development program specialist with the Los Angeles County Office of Education.
"We'll see less hiring as the fiscal year comes to an end, but then it will start picking up in September as businesses begin hiring for the holidays," he said. "We try to target cities that have higher unemployment rates. We've also done a job fair in Baldwin Park."
El Monte's jobless rate has remained stubbornly high. State employment numbers released Friday show that the city's unemployment rate held steady last month at 11.5 percent. Baldwin Park also remained stuck at 11.6 percent.
The only San Gabriel Valley city with a higher unemployment rate for May was South El Monte, at 11.8 percent, the state Employment Development Department reported.
Daniella Estrada, 29, of Baldwin Park was among Friday's throng of job seekers.
"Right now I'm working for L.A. Works in Irwindale," she said. "I'm looking to supplement my income and there's a lot of competition out there. I've been looking online and even going into businesses and as a walk-in. You have to do a lot of networking. It's not what you know so much as who you know."
Friday's job fair was put on by the city of El Monte, the Los Angeles County Office of Education, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, the state Employment Development Department and the Central San Gabriel Valley Worksource Center.
Sponsors included Valley Vista and the El Monte Police Officers Association.

Welcome to the HQmpd Trac
This project is a lot of fun.
We are writing a mp3 player in Haskell, accompanied by an mp3 decoder, also written in Haskell. From the beginning the aim of this project was mainly to mimic the functionality of mpd (link) in a Haskell project, but since the decoding part was more interesting than we thought, that is now the main goal. Of course it is nice to have a player to use with the decoder, but that does not have to be anything fancy :)
There are some interesting pages to see here:

PBS's Tucker Carlson distorted Gray Lady report on black-and-white issues at Harvard
Research ››› ››› DUNCAN BLACK
During the opening monologue of the June 25 edition of PBS's Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered, host Tucker Carlson, a conservative pundit and a co-host of CNN's Crossfire, misrepresented the contents of a New York Times article by Sara Rimer and Karen W. Arenson and the opinions of those quoted within.
• Carlson stated:
Here's something I bet you never thought you'd hear a liberal say: Harvard is letting in too many Africans. Yet that is exactly what a group of earnest liberals told The New York Times this week.
In fact, none of the academics and educators quoted in the June 24 New York Times article to which Carlson referred said anything of the sort. (The version of Carlson's monologue published on the show's official website is not an accurate transcript of what was broadcast. The monologue, as broadcast, did not include the word "almost" before the word "exactly" in the second sentence. In any case, no one quoted in the article said "almost exactly" that either.)
Carlson himself opposes affirmative action; for example, on the March 1 edition of CNN's Crossfire, he said, "Well, as critics have often pointed out, moderate affirmative action isn't all that different from good old-fashioned segregation. The notion of fighting racism with racism is unprincipled. It's immoral. And it's also just plain dumb."
Those quoted in the article do express an interest in discussing whether race-based affirmative action programs are benefiting members of the population they intend to reach. Harvard professors Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Lani Guinier told a recent reunion of Harvard University's black alumni that perhaps up to two-thirds of black Harvard undergraduates were immigrants or children of immigrants, and not students who were specifically disadvantaged by, as The New York Times' Rimer and Arenson wrote, "the legacy of Jim Crow laws, segregation and decades of racism, poverty and inferior schools, who were intended as principal beneficiaries of affirmative action in university admissions." A representative viewpoint is expressed in this paragraph from the article:
"You need a philosophical discussion about what are the aims of affirmative action,'' Professor Waters [Mary C. Waters, chair of Harvard's Sociology Department] said. "If it's about getting black faces at Harvard, then you're doing fine. If it's about making up for 200 to 500 years of slavery in this country and its aftermath, then you're not doing well. And if it's about having diversity that includes African-Americans from the South or from inner-city high schools, then you're not doing well, either."
In direct contradiction to Carlson's assertion that those quoted in the article would like Harvard to admit fewer Africans, the reporters write about Gates and Guinier, "Both Professor Gates and Professor Guinier emphasize that this is not about excluding immigrants, whom sociologists describe as a highly motivated, self-selected group."
• Carlson stated:
It turns out that the school's affirmative policies have produced a student body that is disproportionately African and West Indian. By some estimates, more than half of Harvard's black students are foreign-born.
In fact, the Times tells us that between one-half and two-thirds of the black students at Harvard, excluding those classified as foreign students, are "West Indian and African immigrants or their children, or to a lesser extent, children of biracial couples." The article does not state how many of these students are foreign-born, as opposed to having immigrant or mixed-race parents.
• Carlson stated:
Well, say the progressives, affirmative action was designed to redress past injustice. And no one has suffered more injustice than black people in America.
Carlson did not specify whom he was referring to when he said "progressives"; regardless, none of the article's sources asserted that "no one has suffered more injustice than black people in America." In addition, Guinier is quoted saying "[T]hey [colleges and universities] are excluding poor and working-class whites, not just descendants of slaves," elaborating on her general concern that colleges and universities "train and educate a representative group of future leaders."
• Carlson stated:
So by definition the son of a black doctor from Greenwich is more disadvantaged, and therefore more deserving, than a kid from Sierra Leone or the slums of Kingston.
No one quoted in the article expresses this view. In his statement, Carlson falsely implied that recent immigrants and their children are necessarily disadvantaged. In fact, the article states that, in Waters's view, the success of immigrants relative to African Americans is partially due to the fact that many West Indian immigrants "arrive with higher levels of education and professional experience."
• Carlson stated:
Working harder gives them [immigrants] an advantage. That's why they [immigrants] do it.
Some educators consider this deeply unfair. As one of them disapprovingly told the Times, "These immigrants represent Horatio Alger, not Brown versus the Board of Education."
Keep in mind, that's meant to be a criticism.
The educator Carlson quoted is Anthony Carnevale, who is described in the article as "a former vice president at the Educational Testing Service." Carnevale did not express the view that it is "deeply unfair" that "working harder" gives immigrants an advantage. He also did not criticize immigrants for doing so. Instead, he was expressing his opinion that, as he is quoted in the article, "The truth is, the higher-education community is no longer connected to the civil rights movement." Carlson truncated the sentence he quoted from Carnevale, leaving off the final phrase. The full quote was "These immigrants represent Horatio Alger, not Brown v. Board of Education and America's race history."

Medical Definition of Breakbone fever
Breakbone fever: Also known as dengue fever, an acute mosquito-borne viral illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with headache, fever, prostration, severe joint and muscle pain, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) and rash. The presence (the "dengue triad") of fever, rash, and headache (and other pains) is particularly characteristic. Better known as dengue, the disease is endemic throughout the tropics and subtropics in various parts of the world. It goes by other names including dandy fever. Victims of dengue often have contortions due to the intense joint and muscle pain. Hence, the name "breakbone fever." Slaves in the West Indies who contracted dengue were said to have "dandy fever" because of their postures and gait.

Tornados drop SAC match at home to Lenoir-Rhyne, 3-1October 12, 2010
Conner has 11 kills in loss to Bears
Brevard, N.C. - Kortney Conner placed five of her 11 kills in the Tornados victory in the third set and Rebecca Schoonover led all players with 20 digs, but Brevard was unable to overcome Brooke Christenbury's double-double of 17 kills, 16 digs in the 25-17, 25-17, 25-27, 25-14 loss to Lenoir-Rhyne on Tuesday afternoon.
Conner recorded more than 10 kills for her eighth time this season to lead Brevard (2-16, 0-12 SAC) on the evening. Jamie Atkinson added eight kills and three total blocks, while Jordei Osby led the Tornados at the net with seven blocks.
Christenbury led Lenoir-Rhyne (8-9, 5-7 SAC) with her 17 kills as the Bears hit 17.9 percent on the evening in the victory. Chelsea Hill added 11 kills and five blocks, while Kaitlyn Burton had a match-high 40 set assists. Marrissa Church led the Bears defensive efforts with 18 digs on the evening as Lenoir-Rhyne completed the season sweep against Brevard.
Church led the Bears in the first two sets as the junior libero served a pair of runs in each of the sets to give Lenoir-Rhyne the 2-0 lead heading into the third set.
Both sides battled back and forth in the third set as the teams were tied at 16 after a kill by Brevard's Erin Cox. Brevard went up 24-20 late in the set after a kill by Conner, but the Bears rallied to score the next four points, capped by a kill by Cheyenne Cash to tie the set up at 24. After Conner and Christenbury traded kills to keep the set tied at 25, Atkinson found a gap in the Bears defense to put the set at 26-25 and the Tornados closed it out on a Lenoir-Rhyne attack error.
The fourth and final set was tied at 11 after a Conner service error and the Bears went on a 10-1 run following the error. Cayla Crawley placed in a pair of service aces during the run to put Lenoir-Rhyne up 21-12 and the Bears closed out the set on a kill by Hill and a BC attack error to take the win.
The Tornados continue their conference home stand on Friday, October 15th, as Brevard hosts Anderson University. First serve in Boshamer Gymnasium between the Tornados and the Trojans is set for 6:30 p.m.

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
There are a lot of things to like about Gyro Cave.
The small storefront is in the heart of downtown Everett for easy access during the lunch hour rush.
The inside decor is smartly appointed in a retro look of shiny red chairs and gray Formica tables with the walls painted bright colors and dotted with historic photos. As cozy as a cave, but much more cheerful.
Gyro Cave's service staff is polite, nice and friendly. I called on a Saturday to find out when they close and the waitress who answered told me the closing time then said happily, "Come on. We are waiting for you."
Their food is priced perfectly for the hearty meal you receive. The traditional gyro of lamb and beef ($6.95) is a serious sandwich filled to the pita bread's brim with meat and tzatziki sauce and well worth the price.
During my Saturday visit, my husband, Peter, and I each ordered a traditional gyro to go and I also ordered a falafel ($5.45) to try the restaurant's vegetarian option. The woman who answered my initial phone call continued to be sweet and politely answered all of Peter's questions and made sure our order was accurate.
We took our gyros home and I erred by taking the sandwich out of the tin-foil eating sack it came in. The warm, soft, doughy naan-like pita could barely contain the contents so I had to forge ahead slowly to avoid creating quite a mess. That turned out the right way to approach a sandwich of this size: one delicate bite at a time.
Pete had full containment on his gyro and while eating would pause occasionally to utter words like "hearty" and "good value."
But after we were finished, Peter and I agreed that these gyros were not what we would call "traditional."
The meat was not what we expected. Though plentiful and tasty, the meat was not sliced, as is the practice at most Greek restaurants, from a vertical spit, so that the lamb or beef is delivered in thin, crisp slices or shavings. This meat in these gyros was crumbled and in chunks like ground beef.
The meat also didn't have that classic "gyro meat" taste. Pete and I surmised the spices were off. The classic spices of paprika or fennel or cumin or nutmeg couldn't be detected. The meat was tasty enough, but its taste was closer to taco meat than gyro meat.
Now, there was no way I could eat a falafel on top of that gyro. In fact I probably could have survived several days without a meal.
But I did reheat the falafel and eat it the next day. I enjoyed it much more than the gyro.
The falafel, a deep-fried blend of garbanzo beans, was dense and thick but moist. And the spices were spot on — exotic with a hint of heat. The falafel was wrapped in the same soft pita bread and topped like a gyro with lettuce, tomato and tzatziki sauce.
A vegetarian would be happy in this cave.
Pete really enjoyed the falafel as well; again, the size was such that we cut the sandwich in half.
The Gyro Cave also serves salads and beef and chicken souvlaki or kabobs ($8.99). With so many things to like about Gyro Cave, Peter and I will go back again and try some of their other offerings.
