Racism and 'The Hunger Games': Why Ignorance Won't Prevail
Shocked by the racist tweets against the black actors of The Hunger Games? You're not alone. Here's what the fans have to say about it.
-Diana Denza
The first time I watched The Hunger Games (and I can assure you, there will be many more times), there wasn't a dry eye in the theater when little Rue was mercilessly slain. The 12-year-old tribute, a symbol of innocence and love in an inherently corrupt world, was arguably one of the most powerful characters in the entire series. In the film, she was played by a black actress, 13-year-old Amandla Stenberg.
This shouldn't have been remotely surprising as that is exactly how the book's author envisioned her. On page 45 of The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins describes Rue through the eyes of heroine Katniss Everdeen: "She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that's she's very like Prim in size and demeanor."
Similarly, Dayo Okeniyi, a muscular Nigerian immigrant, scored the role of Thresh, the tribute who spares Katniss' life at a key moment in the story. Of Thresh, Collins writes, "The boy tribute from District 11, Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue, but the resemblance stops there. He's one of the giants, probably six and half feet tall and built like an ox."
Sadly, even this knowledge didn't stop a few hateful "fans" from posting extremely hurtful, racist remarks on Twitter. Users plastered their ignorance all over the Internet—but unfortunately for them, the world was watching in such forms as the fan-run Tumblr blog, Hunger Games Tweets.
Some examples of the racist tweets:
One woman wrote that Rue being portrayed by a black actress "kinda ruined the movie."
A blonde teen was spotted telling the casting director to "#SticktothebookDUDE."
One man horrifically—and apparently without any sense of proper spelling or punctuation—wrote, "Sense [sic] when has Rue been a n****r."
But don't hop on the first train to the Capitol (because what the heck is going on in this world?!) just yet. Because while this flood of prejudiced tweets proves that racism is alive and kicking in this country, it is far from winning the Games.
Read Join 'The Hunger Games' in the Fight Against Hunger
In an unprecedented show of support, women's organizations, bloggers, and true fans just like you and me came together to defend Stenberg, Okeniyi, and Lenny Kravtiz, who plays Cinna. In response to the hateful tweets, a massive outpouring of support for the black Hunger Games actors can be seen all over Twitter and the Internet at large.
A teen girl replied, "Racism doesn't belong in the world OR the hunger games fandom. Amandla and Lenny were perfect for their roles and just as I imagined them."
"I HATE RACISM!!" a young male user lamented.
A girl named Natalie asked, "Is this real?! Feel naive, duped believing the world is progressing."
"I want this beautiful talented actress to blow up like crazy in her years to come," one of Stenberg's many followers on Twitter wrote. Happily, with more than 30,000 followers, it seems that won't prove difficult for this up-and-coming talent.
The Women's Media Center even tweeted in support of the black actors, retweeting a post from the website Feministing along with the message, "Racist Hunger Games fans illustrate all that is wrong in the world."
And there are hundreds more from where these came from. If you head over to publications like Jezebel, US Weekly, Forbes, BuzzFeed, and the Huffington Post, you'll see countless writers fearlessly tackling the subject of Hunger Games racism head on.
But in spite of this strong show of support, it would be foolish to claim that racism is dead and equality reigns. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 71 percent of those living in poverty in the United States are black or Hispanic. In addition, the Huffington Post recently released a report detailing a climb in unemployment rates for blacks and Latinos as a whole. Most shockingly, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights reported that in 2007, 34 percent of all hate crimes committed in the United States were against African Americans, who make up approximately 12 percent of the population. Notably, this statistic has shown no signs of improvement over the past 10 years. And of course, all eyes are on the terrible tragedy of young Trayvon Martin as we wait to see if justice will prevail.
But if the reaction against these racist tweets is any indication, many of us have been inspired to stand up to ignorance and hatred… and maybe even to start reading. Twitter user Luis Bordon, for example, wrote, "Man f all this racism crap. Hunger games was like that. Now I have to read the book." Please do, Luis!
It is absolutely reprehensible that a little girl has had to face racially-charged slurs. It is crushing to discover that some of us need a lesson or two in reading comprehension and respect for fellow human beings. As a fan, I was devastated to find that so many individuals out there have completely disregarded Collins' powerful message of hope and truth and courage to focus on the color of a girl's skin. But even so, I can't help but feel that the sparks of change in a society where minorities are still oppressed might just be growing brighter, thanks to the enormous show of support for Stenberg, Okeniyi, and Kravitz.
Hunger Games fans, I leave you with this: If the 16-year-old "Girl on Fire" could stand up to widespread Capitol oppression, we can all do our part to ensure that something good comes out of this heartbreaking moment. Now is the time to take the odds out of racism's favor.

Downstate County 'Likely' To Appeal Release of Gun Data
Carmel, N.Y. - Putnam County says it'll likely appeal a judge's order to turn over information about pistol permit holders to the Journal News.
According to the Journal News, Putnam says it'll keep the paper from getting its "hands on individual's personal information."
Putnam's statement came a day after a judge ruled pistol permit records sought by the Journal were subject to disclosure. The judge ruled that eligible gun owners were permitted under state law to exempt their names from a public database. Any names remaining on the list the judge said were public record.
The Journal in 2012 filed Freedom of Information requests for pistol permit records from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam. The other two counties complied.
Putnam says publishing the information creates "a dangerous road map for those with criminal intent."

Check the wiki for compatibilites
What wifi card do they use?
Also, maybe you post some specs or differences between the 2 models??
Hi @ all,
i want to buy a D800 Notebook an i will install BT on it.
I already read that BT run on a D810 without any problems and configs on the system.
Does BT run on a D800 also like on a D810?
Whats with the WLAN Card? Does it work fine and is there a monitor mode?
I appreciate every knowledge and experience
Check the wiki for compatibilites
What wifi card do they use?
Also, maybe you post some specs or differences between the 2 models??
I also checked the wiki notebook compatibilites.
On this list are only the D810 and the D820 but regrettably not the D800...
Since yet I dont know the exactly specifications of this notebook.
I think it is using a Intel Wlan card but I also dont know more details about that.
In fact of the system buildup there are a few kinds of possibilities.
This is why I posted this Thread
But I will go on searching for more details concerning the specifications.
If you are planing to do wireless pentesting, you should also take a look at the specific card it has and search this forum as well as the wiki for drivers and compatibility, since it seems that many people get different results performance-wise with the Intel cards (you may wind up purchasing an additional PCMCIA or USB card in the end).

Mainly I want to do wireless pentesting, at least for the first time.Originally Posted by swc666
Once I know the specs I will look up the wiki.
In worst case: If the w-card doesnt run like it should, isnt there also the possibility to change the pci card?
I will start studying in january and my company sell some D800s for a low price.Originally Posted by Re@lity
I havent got the big money but I need a Notebook for my study so I will buy this one.
I will ask a member of staff about the specs and post it here when I know them.
BTW.: Can you tell me how I can create such a comment like you?
I mean the nice little button which delivers me directly to the comment.

Best Of :: Megalopolitan Life
Where else can you combine live music, hot chocolate, twinkly lights, and the most gorgeous desert plants in the world? Lucky for us, the Desert Botanical Garden is located smack in the center of the Valley, and the long-honored garden tradition of holiday luminaria is still going strong. The season just isn't complete for us without tickets to this event, featuring carolers, bell players, and other local musical acts. It may not snow in these parts, but it begins to look a lot like Christmas when we throw on a light jacket and head off into the night to the Desert Botanical Garden.
We'd like to think that someday Arizona will declare February 26 "Llamas on the Loose Day." Because who, after all, can forget the afternoon earlier this year when two of these giant furry creatures escaped from their Sun City home and tore through the streets of the West Valley, overturning cars and starting trash-can fires and riots? Okay, so maybe the llamas didn't terrorize the quiet streets of Sun City, but given the viral attention they received, you'd be forgiven for thinking they had. Within minutes of their escape, the two became a global Internet sensation. People across the country stopped whatever they were doing and watched the live-stream feed with bated breath. They inspired hashtags, GIFs, even a Buzzfeed quiz. Sheriff Joe's men put up a good fight, but they were no match for the llamas, who managed to run across busy streets uninjured for an hour. When the smaller of the two was finally lassoed, the larger one darted away. She evaded capture for another 15 minutes before finally succumbing, sadly ending what arguably was the most exciting event of the year. Follow them on Twitter: @SunCityLlamas.
When Tania Katan left her museum gig to go to work for a tech firm in North Scottsdale, there was a lot of head-scratching among members of the arts community. What was the writer/playwright/funny girl/creative dynamo going to do at a tech firm? Turns out, a whole lot. Within her first year, Katan had launched a simple but incredibly effective campaign called "It Was Never a Dress," turning the ubiquitous ladies room icon on her ear, explaining that her dress is really a cape and encouraging girls to consider a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Demand for stickers and T-shirts was immediate, and social media gobbled up the whole thing, millions of times over. We can't wait to see what Katan has up her sleeve, er, cape next.www.itwasneveradress.com
THEMIS, or, as its creators at Arizona State University call it, the Thermal Emission Imaging System, made its 60,000th trip around Mars this year. The infrared camera, which has been hitchhiking aboard NASA's Mars Odyssey since 2001, has taken nearly 400,000 images of the Red Planet. In the process, it has saved a landing rover from dashing to pieces in a field of giant boulders by finding it a safe place to set down, and it has helped scientists discover old lakes and gullies carved by melting snow, among other things. You can see what THEMIS sees in real time on ASU's website. Watching the cratered landscape roll by is surreal.201 East Orange Mall, Tempe
May 2015 will go down at the wettest month on record in the United States, and the second-wettest for Arizona, with well over an inch of rainfall recorded. Here in Phoenix, we just called it heaven — a month filled with wind, rain, and unseasonably cool temperatures. By the end of May, temperatures in the Valley were well over 100 degrees, but given that summer typically starts in March around here, we were okay with that.
It's the line reporters had itched to write from the time the Phoenix Open was renamed. "There was a waste management problem at the Waste Management Phoenix Open," belted out a lede in the Arizona Republic. Ick. Apparently, a porta-potty leaked raw sewage in puddles near the "Fry's Fan Zone" at Arizona's signature annual golf event, one of the largest in the country. It smelled, people walked through it, and it took hours to clean up. Not exactly a hole-in-one from a public relations standpoint or a fun time for event-goers. But a great lede.

This patented device quickly and humanely restores peace and quiet to a home by helping to curtail a dog's incessant nuisance barking. No special collar is required; when a dog barks within 25' of the unit in an open space, it emits a harmless ultrasonic tone (inaudible to humans) that startles the animal into silence. After several weeks of use, the dog begins to associate its nuisance barking with the unpleasant sound, which conditions him to curb the undesirable behavior. The device works on all breeds and sizes and is most effective when used in conjunction with standard canine obedience training techniques. The unit can also be activated manually to help you correct a dog's other bad habits, such as lying on furniture or foraging through the trash. Requires one 9-volt battery that provides power for two months; an LED indicates battery life. For indoor use only. 3" H x 5" W x 2 1/2" D. (8 oz.)

Snap Crackle Dud
By BluntedHedgehog
from Mobile, Alabama
Of five dogs and one cat, only one dog perked up his ears when the soft crackle (to humans) began wafting two feet in front of the unit. If I hadn't already thrown out the packaging because I thought Petsafe was a trustworthy brand, this would have been returned for a refund. Unless you thrive on low expectations, please don't bother with this product. The collars have a better chance at behavioral modification. Or just try bribery with chicken jerky.

Is working...
By crazy dog lady
from Utah
According to the instructions, this product works over a period of about 2 weeks. It trains the dogs to associate the unpleasant sound with their bark. We have noticed that they are coming around to this. We have 5 barky dogs, and we are hoping that this will end the constant barking whenever something moves. Our most dedicated barker may need something more, but it sure works on the puppies. We travel a lot and I will be taking this along! We will probably buy another unit to place in the next room, as this only works to about 25 feet.

My dogs had gotten to the point where they were barking at every noise outside of the house! Both have high pitched yaps that echo in my high ceiling house! This was driving me crazy!! I now have this thing sitting near the entry way of my house and it is absolutely amazing! They still occasionally bark but, it only takes a minute for the machine to kick in and the yapping is controlled! YAY!!!

Online security is very important, especially with bank, credit card, utilities, and other important accounts being available through the internet. So, what is the worst thing you can do online in regards to your security? What's the one thing responsible for more hacked and stolen accounts than anything else?
I bet you think it's one of the following instances: not using an anti-virus program, not having a complicated enough password, or using unsecured Wi-Fi. NOPE. The worst thing you can do online, in terms of security, is using the same password for all of your accounts.
Why is this such a danger? All websites employ security procedures to avoid being hacked, but server exploits, careless administrators or new bugs make perfection an impossible goal. So, what happens is you sign up for every site using the same e-mail and password, and one day, your otherwise unimportant shopper's club card account gets hacked. Now, the hackers try the password they retrieved from that card's website on banking sites, credit card site log-ins, and all kinds of other secure sites. If you're using the same password everywhere, you've just given them the master key to your digital life.
So what can you do to have unique passwords? You can use a password safe, like KeePass, which will remember all of your passwords and allow you to generate secure, random passwords. These types of programs store an encrypted password file on your computer that you open to show the password for each site. It may take you a minute longer to log in, but it will save you a huge amount of agony by safeguarding your online identity.

Washington • President Barack Obama says he has a mandate from voters after winning re-election but Utah's members of Congress, too, say they have one from their own constituents and those agendas may not always line up.
Welcome to Washington dysfunction, 2013 edition.
Gridlock has described this town for the last several years the most recent example being the showdown over the fiscal cliff and it doesn't appear the polarization will lessen anytime soon.
"We have created a set of congressional districts, due in large part to gerrymandering, that means there are relatively few members of the Congress, of the House of Representatives, that are inclined to feel any urgency about accommodation or compromise," says Brigham Young University political scientist David Magleby. "And that makes governing pretty hard."
Indeed, this week's tumultuous battle over how to avert hikes on every taxpayer went down to the wire, and nearly fell apart amid rumblings by House Republicans that they would reject the final deal. Many members, including four of the five Utahns in Congress then, still ultimately voted no.
Worse, the deal really just punts more big decisions such as raising the nation's borrowing limit and smoothing out spending cuts for a couple months. Come March, Congress will again be taking the country to the brink of shutting down, or possibly, actual default.
A way of life • Sticking to campaign-style ideology in office has become more of a way of life in Washington, especially after the rise of tea party-backed Republicans and a left tilt for some Democrats. Taking a hard-line on issues, such as a GOP pledge against raising any taxes, leaves little room for negotiation.
"That assumes you'll get your way at all times but that's not life; that's not the legislator life," says Magleby. "We compromise."
Historically, there has been more ability to do so in Congress, with moderates bridging the gap between the two parties. But more and more of those members have lost tough elections, leaving, for example, only a handful of so-called Blue Dog Democrats like Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah who were the go-to bloc to make deals.
Matheson, who is now in his seventh term, agrees new, partisan congressional districts have produced members rigidly toeing a party line.
"They're more threatened by a challenge from a more extreme element in their party than they are by a general election challenge based on the way congressional districts have been set up across the country," says Matheson, who represents the most Republican district of any Democrat. "There's something to that that makes it more challenging to have consensus building."
Matheson notes that in his 12 years in Congress, he's seen the shift away from bipartisan compromises toward a strategy of simply trying to make the other side look bad.
"Something has got to give in this dynamic," he says.
The incentive, though, is lacking in many ways.
Lopsided elections • In Utah's case, Rep. Rob Bishop handily won re-election with more than 70 percent of the vote. New Rep. Chris Stewart claimed above 60 percent of the vote in his district.
And Rep. Jason Chaffetz swamped his opponent in the election, grabbing nearly 77 percent of the vote in his district and handing him, he believes, a reason to continue pushing the same ideals he has since first entering Congress in 2009.
"I'm going to fight for principle and not waffle day to day courting votes, and I think that's why I get such a strong percentage of the vote," says Chaffetz. "I'm not here just to oppose the president, I'm here to do what I think is right for the country and specifically Utah's 3rd Congressional District."
Chaffetz has crossed over to co-sponsor some legislation with Democrats in his time in the House but he says there are some issues where there is no room to move.
"I'll buck up against my party, I have many times, but we have to cut spending," he said. Most members express a similar perspective.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, who is in, he says, his final term in the Senate, was the only vote in Utah's delegation for the fiscal cliff bill, and he argues that the deal was a "perfect illustration of how compromise does happen."
"I'll take tax cuts for 99% of the people any day of the week rather than go off the cliff and not get anything," Hatch says. "Compromise has to be part of the system but it ought to have reason to it. That had plenty of reason to it, even though there's much of that bill I didn't like."
In the Senate of old, Hatch was one of those who forged compromises, including many with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, such as the Children's Health Insurance Program and a national service initiative. But even Hatch, who is beginning his seventh term, says the body has shifted.
"The Democrats [have gone] more liberal, the Republicans more conservative," he says. "That's really what's involved here."
Mike Lee • Hatch's new Senate colleague, Sen. Mike Lee, is a good example. Vaulted into office by the rise of the tea party, Lee has stood strongly against Democratic efforts in his first two years and at one point held a lonely vigil against every single presidential nominee in protest.
Still, Lee says, it's not a given that Congress will reel from impasse to impasse.
"Compromise is a necessary, indispensable, and I believe ultimately inevitable part of any legislative exercise," Lee said. "I don't believe compromise is a dirty word."
His solution? Return to the previous process where legislation is introduced, heard in committee, amended and debated on the floor instead of the current route where bills are written in back rooms and changes strictly controlled.
"The best way to get bipartisanship and the best way to get genuine compromise ironed out under the light of day is to have an open amendment process," Lee says.
Interestingly, that's the same point stressed by Lee's predecessor, former Sen. Bob Bennett, who also saw the growth in the partisan divide during his waning years.
Bennett offers up a prime example of how the old system worked better: When Salt Lake City was in desperate need of a new federal courthouse, he went to the mat and worked with Democrats to ensure the money ended up flowing to Utah instead of to a project in Los Angeles not even yet in the planning stages.
"In that atmosphere, you can do that, but today because regular order has broken down those kinds of relationships that you build with cooperation are gone and as a result the decisions get made by the Executive Branch," Bennett says. "As a consequence, you get bitter feelings all around and no motive for people to work together because everything is going to get decided [at the White House] anyway."
Out of the Senate and in the private world of consulting and lobbying, Bennett says he's optimistic cooler minds will prevail with the new House and Senate and with Obama's second term.
"The problems are serious enough that serious people will emerge, and they will emerge as leaders and pretty soon one party or the other will begin to coalesce to solve our problems," Bennett says. "I think there are people in the Senate who are capable of coming forward and saying, 'OK, you guys have had your fun. Now, let's get serious.'"

Windsor is one of Teaneck's hidden gems
By Howard Prosnitz, Staff Writer
Teaneck Suburbanite, August 27, 2008
It is easy to miss Windsor Park. A monorist could drive by and not be aware of its existence. But its lack of visibility has noting to do with its size -- only Argonne and Votee are larger among township's parks. Argonne is 54.24 acres and Votee is 40.69 acres.
The 22-acre park runs for 1.6 miles along the western side of the railroad tracks from the Bergenfield border amost to Cedar Lane. At its widest Windsor measures 600 feet and at its narrowest, a little over 10 feet.
There are no benches, picnic tables, playgrounds or athletic fields in Windsor Park. But there are woods, a trail that runs the length of the park and a stream.
Windsor is the township's oldest park, according to George Reskakis, chair of the council's Parks, Playgrounds Recreation Advisory Board.
The park was established in 1933, and originally consisted only of the four-acre triangle at the western end of the State Street Bridge, today known as Frank Hall Veterans Park.
At the time, said Reskakis, it was the prevailing belief that towns should have one acre of park land for every 100 residents. Teaneck had one acre for 4,000 residents.
Expanding Windsor Park to include most of the land abutting the west side of the railroad tracks seemed the most logical way to add more parkland. Township officials reasoned that this land was not suitable for development because it was adjacent to the tracks and because much of it was wetland.
The Windsor Park trail is widest and most accessible from the Bergenfield border to the State Street Bridge. South of that to Cedar Lane, the park narrows, is wetter and the trail is more difficult to navigate.
West Laurelton Parkway resident Wayne Thoen has led groups on walks of the Windsor Park trail. Thoen, a member of the Hackensack River Greenway Advisory Board, has observed deer, wild turkey, red foxes and groundhogs in the park and painted snapping turtles in the creek that he has informally named Windsor Creek.
But Thoen is puzzled over the disappearance of muskrats in recent years. This aquatic mammal was once abundant in Windsor and Votee parks.
"There used to be a lot of them until about five years ago," Thoen said, noting that the state has outlawed hunting and trapping muskrats, which were once prized for their fur.
"They are harmless and beautiful. I would like to know what has happened to them. Maybe the county or the town is trying to eliminate them," he said, observing that the muskrat has a tail similar to a rat's tail.
The creek runs the length of the northern park, entering via a culvert visible from the south side of the State Street Bridge. Thoen has determined that the culvert drains three separate water sources which merge and become the creek. The creek runs north through Bergenfield to Coopers Pond and finally empties into the Hackensack river.
Killies, small fish used by fishermen for bait, swarm in the creek and are best viewed from a bridge just south of the Givaudan perfume warehouse at the Bergenfield border. When the killies are stirred up, as for example, by tossing pieces of bread in the water, snapping turtles that also inhabit the creek sometimes emerge from their mud caves.
Thoen recalls standing ont he bridge and observing two snapping turtles mate.
"I was throwing bread to the killies and a snapper came up out of the mud. I threw it a core of my apple and the turtle ate it up. Then all of a sudden, a larger turtle came up and it looked as if it was going to attack the smaller one. The two turtle begans snapping at each other."
But Thoen soon learned that the snapping was not the result of hostility but a mating exercise. The larger turtle turned out to be a male; the smaller, a female.
"The male mounted on top of her and they sank to the bottom and stayed there for about 20 minutes. Occasionally a long neck would come up for some air and then go back down again. The didn't move. I never saw the mating of two snapping turtles before and probably never will again."
The most accessible entrance to the trail is from the south side of the bridge. The trail continues south, skirting the creek.
Although few people know about the Windsor Park trail, teenagers do, said Thoen. They often congregate late at night and the stream and parts of the trail are marred by the litter of beer and soda cans and food wrappers.
"The teenagers come in at night and do their nasty things, drugs or whatever," said Thoen, who has occasionally entered the park at night and confronted the intruders. Moterbikes are another problem. Thoen noted that the park is neither patrolled nor adequately maintained.
"I don't like the wildlife being disturbed by the hell raising oging on," he said.
Last year, the township designated a portion of Windsor Park as a dog -friendly are where dogs are allowed on leashes. Dogs are banned from all other township owned parks. The council has also discussed converting the dog-friendly area to a fenced in dog run.
Jordon Wouk, chair of the Hackensack River Greenway Advisory Board, envisions a series of almost continuous trails connecting the Hackensack River Greenway to the Teaneck Creek Conservercy at opposite ends of town. The proposed trail would run along the Route 4 Greenbelt to the golf course, cross Windsor Park and end of the conservancy.

Throughout the matches played this season, errors have plagued the Quakers' numbers. Penn was able to find a rhythm and committed only two attack errors in the first set and finished with a .455 team total attack percentage.
After being tied at four, the Red and Blue went on a four-point spurt from kills by freshman Arielle Winfield, junior Trina Ohms, and sophomore Jasmine DeSilva. The fourth point was awarded on an attack error by Tiger Sarah Hanna and gave the Quakers a 7-4 lead. Penn stayed just at an arm's length from Princeton and finally pulled away after tallying five points in a row from a kill by sophomore Alex Caldwell, block by Winfield, kill by DeSilva, kill by Winfield, and lastly another kill by Caldwell. The score was 20-13. After a few more rallies, a kill from senior captain Kristen Etterbeek finished the set, 25-21.
The Quakers started hot out-of-the-gate with a six-point run, in what looked like a promising second set. Penn had a five-point lead, 6-1, but the Tigers clawed their way back to tie the match at nine and led the rest of the set. Princeton eventually pushed ahead by six, 18-12, and then finished the set 25-17.
Penn began set three with four unanswered points, causing Princeton to call a timeout. The Tigers took a short-lived lead, 6-5, before the Red and Blue tacked on six points from two kills by Etterbeek, three service aces by Caldwell, and an attack error by Tiger Tiana Woolridge. The Quakers led by five, 11-6, and would exchange between a four-point lead and a five-point lead eleven more times. A big block by senior captain Susan Stuecheli kept the Quaker advantage, 23-20, but Princeton crept closer. Stuecheli's block was the last point the Red and Blue would score in the third set, falling 25-23.
Determined to stay alive and keep the five-set show-down streak going, Penn ran up the points on the scoreboard and took set four 25-15. The Quakers began the set in the lead, 5-1. The Tigers then gained a few points to close the point deficit, 8-6, but were shut down when the Red and Blue claimed four points in a row, to lead 12-6. Princeton would later find themselves behind, 18-11, and called a timeout in an attempt to stop the Quakers' momentum. Penn took one more point before the Tigers took three of their last four points in the set. Five more points were then added by the Red and Blue, making it 24-14. A service error by the Quakers returned the ball to Princeton who were then shut down by an Etterbeek kill, ending set four 25-15.
Set five produced deafening noise from the crowd as the home team went up 2-0 and Penn shortly after found themselves down, 5-2. The Red and Blue came back to tie the score four more times at seven, eight, 10, and 11. A kill from DeSilva, which led to the tie at 11, was the last point Penn would score. The Tigers finished off the set with four points in a row and claimed the set, 15-11, and match, 3-2.
The Quakers were led in kills by Etterbeek (15), who also co-led in digs with sophomore Alexis Genske (19). Caldwell totaled 14 kills, 32 assists, and four service aces. Stuecheli notched two solo blocks and three block assists for the night.
Penn will prepare to travel to Big 5 rival La Salle for the last non-conference match of the 2013 season on Monday.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The owners were very helpful for the extra bits we needed, It was also good to be able to choose when to have breakfast.
the hospitality of the hotel staff
Very nice and relaxing. Friendly and helpful staff. very good value for money. Would visit again.
The hotel location is peaceful, the parking is free and in front of the hotel, Wi Fi i s slow but is free and useful. Good breakfast. Room does not feel really clean. I found dog hair on the moquette and bed sheet does not feel really clean. The hotel people have great difficulties in speaking english and it can be a great problem in certain situation. They don't answer mails.
The location was excellent for exploring the city, the price was reasonable and the room pleasant. The fish on the tv swam around all night
The hotel is fresh and modern. It is in a great location in the city centre and very close to the railway station. It is terrific value for money.
Location was very central - right in the heart of downtown. Hotel feels very clean and orderly from the first step in the door.
The staff were absolutely fantastic -- warm and accommodating and efficient. Honestly, they made our trip to Leipzig a complete success -- helpful and gave great advice. The rooms were spotlessly clean, the bed was tremendously comfortable, loved the air conditioning/ temp control. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Value for the money. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. It advertised free internet, but there was only free internet connection in the lobby. In your rooms, you had to pay per hour -- I thought that was a bit sneaky. Room was a little small, but space was well-appointed and very comfortable otherwise. New and clean -- very nice.
It is the great pleasure to stay at your hotel. The location is very good. Thank you very much. The tables for breakfast are very low.
The room was very clean, and the staff was friendly and professional. The location is also ideal for sightseeing.
very good location, just in the old city center. the room is too small.
Clean, helpful staff, but basic Breakfast should be included in the price. No telephones in rooms
My second experience of Motel One and the total package cannot be faulted. Excellent staff and excellent value for money. Clean modern rooms. Good breakfast. The sooner this chain expands all over Europe ( and maintains its standards ) the better.!!!!
The excellent central location close to shopping, restaurants and travel links as well as the cleanliness and value for money.
the room is comfortable, easy access from train station, staff very helpfull and friendly
Very cheap, high standard, good food.
Ease of travel to nearby forest and free bike hire from hotel, ease of travel into leipzig through cycle paths or tram system
The room was very comfortable and relaxing, and the staff was great in terms of friendliness and making one feel comfortable and welcome
Clean room, quiet restaurant / breakfast area, green environment, close to tram stop, biking rental for free Staff seemed stressed and not too happy. Credit card was charged upfront my arrival, where booking.com promised this would not happen.
The hotel provides excellent opportunities for jogging straight from the hotel door. The hotel provides "jogging" routes to guide you through the countryside. The bed-clothing is too small for persons up to 2m tall.
The hungarian speeking receptionist.
A small swimming pool would be welcome to relax. No
Good service, quiet and spacy room. sparkling bathroom, very nice indeed. nothing.
Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Didn't have coffee for guests in the morning.
Very nice room, beautiful bathroom, clean, I liked it very much. It was a pity that there was no airco in the room
Clean Booked a premium double room, but was given a twin. They upgraded to First Class, which was a nice room, but not what one might expect from a 4 star first class room these days.
The room is wide and even equiped with a kitchen. Breakfast was very good. We could eat a wide variety of delicious foods. The hotel is near Leipzig central station.
I liked the spacious bedroom with excellent views and all the facilities the hotel offered. It seemed to be very efficiently run and offers good value for money. Parking arrangements seemed to be complicated.
A very good hotel. It's a pity i staied there only one nignt Everything was perfect
Wonderful breakfast and service from the staff. Great location. I'm splitting hairs really but would have been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room.
Clean No decoration, sad. Towells in a poor standing.
Spacious rooms, nicely furnished, only in relation to the rest the bathroom could have been a little more generous.
Excellent buffet breakfast, location: few meters from main train station Wifi didn't work in my room.
The room is luxury and I love the big windows in the room. It is near the train station, so it is convenient. It would be better if there is a computer to use
Our room was very comfortable, with a nice view on one of the most busy roadcrosses in Leipzig. No noise. The hotel is situated very near the city-center, museums, shops and railway station. Non
The lady staff are very kind. Man can use internet wirelessly and freely in the room. The breakfast is delicious. It is a modern hotel built in a traditional region closely near by the central station of Leipzig. The internet condition is often disturbed.
I stayed twice in NH Leipzig Messe. This is a good quality hotel of international standard, friendly staff and it is very reasonably priced. WiFi internet is available from rooms and is free (though the hotel's guide says that internet is payable). I has underground parking (paid separately). Near by is Globus shopping centre (ATMs). Due to its proximity to freeway the hotel is ideal when travelling by car.
It is showing decades of hotel experience in design and operation. Functional, comfortable and no nonsense. Four choices of scrambled eggs at breakfast. Good price including breakfast outside Messe season! Elevator is going from parking cellar to room floor with secutity stop at ground level. Four lane road is leading to center. Park at HBF-Ost for 5 Euro a day at 1st floor and walk straight into shopping area in renovated railroadstation. In Leipzig in august 2010 are subway works and renovation work underway, blocking the center partly.
Value for money, good breakfast, reasonable paid parking underground Nothing in particular
It's within walking distance of a grocery store. It's a 8 minute walk to the nearest Public transportation and a Taxi ride(16 euro) is required after Midnight to get back to the hotel.
it's far from the centre, perfect for visiting the Messe
Pluses: good value for the money, clean. Minuses: far from downtown, could hire more English-speaking staff.
The hotel staff were very professional and polite, the room was very clean and comfortable. We didn't have time to make use of the additional facilities, so cannot make any comment about them. There is nothing I could say was outstanding, but the general standard was very high and well in keeping in it's class. A bit out of the way. OK for car or business users, but there is a 10 minute walk from the nearest tram stop. I had good weather, so this wasn't a big problem.
Everything was fine. Elevators, sometimes we had to wait few minutes to reach a desired floor or the restaurant. Software should be reprogramed to increase efficiency of this kind of transport to avoid unpleasent up and down rides .
Position is comfortable for all Businessmen working with the Leipzig Messe: just 5 minutes walking for reaching the exhibitor's halls. Around there, lots of shops and a huge Supermarket. The Hotel itself has no other good points. Price is absolutely unfair for the Hotel services and quality. Staff is unpolite and doesn't speak english so well to communicate with foreign customers. Room temperature is crazy hot and reception staff reply to this complaint was "Sleep with your window wide open", result: we all caught a cold. Also Left wing is facing the Highway, noisy all night. Reception staff refused to change our money (small notes into big notes and coins into small notes), and refused to give us some extra supplies (an extra box of plastic bags for napkins which we needed to wrap up some fragiles purchased at the Messe). Breakfast price is just too expensive. Food quality, morning trough dinner is really poor, even for Germany. This hotel hardly is a First Class..
Good service all is O.K.
A 24 hour pool with good gym, sauna and jaccuzi facilities. A very comfortable bed and also a great shower/bath combination. The breakfast is extremely expensive
swimming pool, spa, room design & comfort, kitchen & chef (breakfast & dinner)
Loved this hotel! Great lobby, so much space so nicely divided. Nice design throughout, well-appointed rooms, affordable wifi access, super set of toiletries, decent breakfast, nice pool and clean changing area, friendly staff, easy walk to oldtown. Highly recommended!
very clean, close to center and train station breakfast was expensive
location - hotel is close to city center - only 5 minutes walk to many wonderful cafes, shopping houses and nice cultural sights; hotel rooms are designed in modern style and look really cool pool and gym were old and miniature - design still from the DDR times, not at all the modern style as the rest of the hotel; staff at the reception seemed that they do not enjoy their jobs; breakfast for 18 EUR was for us too much, because in the city center you can have really great breakfast for 6-10 EUR per person
The design of the whole hotel interior was amazing - and the spa area very relaxing. As the fitness area was located below the spa area, it was very humid and hot - and no (working) airconditioning - making the fitness experience not so good.
Excellent food, room and swimmingpool. Nothing. Everything was allright.
Pentahotel Lepizig is well situated in the calme street near the city centre. It provides a great healthy club for his guests, open 24/7 and free. Design of this hotel is great. The reception staff didn´t speak English very well.
Everything, the atmosphere, the use of internet, the beds, the peace and quiet- The fact that breakfast was not included in the price-
The position big room From 8.00h morning renovation work very loud.
An excellent hotel with all facilities close to the town centre. No
Very friendly, helpful staff. Not a single service related "slip up." Very convenient location directly across the tram tracks from the edge of the old town (though surrounded by several currently deserted, dilapidated buildings). Also, 5 minute walk to the Leipzig Zoo. 5th floor room was large (two rooms) but felt a bit cramped given the sloped attic ceiling and small attic windows.
spa, bar parking not included
It has a warm friendly atmosphere. The staff were very friendly & helpful .I found Jenny on front desk to be very helpful .The food was excellent .The location was good .Very near the main train station & old town square . The breakfast was very expensive but good.I feel if the reduced the price more guests would eat there.
we liked the warm and spacious bathroom, and direct lift to the swimming pool with sauna; comfortable bed
Historic surroundings, attentive and pleasant staff
great staff, nice atmosphere, perfectly located, really good breakfast
Everything was very good, but especially your reception is excellent. They are very helpfull I cannot find anything
nicely situated hotel, elegant and stylich, good breakfast and wonderful swimming pool
Staff was very friendly, location was great and the spa was very nice.
Quiet location and very comfortable roomy accommodation, very attentive and friendly staff no negatives to report
The hotel, whilst within easy reach of the city centre, was located in a quiet, wooded area which promoted a very relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly.
So quiet and peaceful in a green and tranquil setting. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast, restaurant and beer garden. Good and friendly service. Easy to reach by tram from centre. Would happily have moved in!!
Everything and everyone was just so nice to us both. Warm and professional staff, room lovely and had everything we needed. Отличный отель, хорошее расположение, удобные номера nothing
Quiet location
In a beautiful part of the city. Would not suggest choosing this hotel if one does not have a car available. Rooms were large, clean and many had views of the park. It is not fancy but very adequate. Breakfast was a feast and very, very well presented and tasty. Probably the best of our entire 2 week trip.
Very charming setting; sumptuous breakfast.
Frienly and helpful staff. Nice quiet surroundings. Very pleasant breakfast, very pleasant service in restaurant. Clean and cosy hotel. Nice garden. Promised wlan worked very bad, sometimes even not at all.
The hotel is in a very quite part of the city. There's a tram connection to the city Center. The surroundings are great, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Well organized room, clean, in midst a green and quite area no 24h check in/out facility. e.g. if you check in at 8pm you can check out at 8pm
Really cool rooms!!! Food service OK but not great.
Beautiful hotel, great location.
Excellent Hotel, all services and facilities as good as one would expect
Small rooms! No room(small room) for suit case! Small bathroom.
Nice hotel, good location (almost directly in the center of Leipzig), very friendly staff, nice and big room. Didn't try restaurant and bar though.
The hotel is very nice & perfectly located. It's biggest plus for me was the free internet connection.
The hotel is central to all atractions in Leipzig. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The staff made sure we had everything we needed ie. extra pillows etc. No complaints!
Location in city center allowed walk to all attractions. Staff was very helpful in orientation to city. Easy to find parking which is in back of hotel, Would be hard to find at night without gps.
Design and proximity to the Gewandhaus No
breakfast, comfortable beds, good maid service, helpful staff, location the room was to warm
professional, modern atmosphere. everything was functioning well bed was much too hard. constant noise from facilities next door and above
Food was OK, silent and comfortable. It is extremely expensive for what was offered. Internet connection and the breakfast were very expensive. I could (and will next time) stay in a much cheaper hotel than Westin and still be satisfied.
Staff where very helpful, reception and bar as you walk in very impressive The bathroom in our room smelt of urin was never cleaned, as a resident did not like having to pay 16 euro a day to park in their car park
- Asked for hot water maker and had used coffee bag was still in it. - Needed to get out of parking lot after 20 min of check out. We were not told about this and had paid extra.
warm welcome, nice room
Comfort, style, central location and at the price you negotiated, good value. I've had a better breakfast.
the view from the room nothing in particular
Very modern decor
Good size room, bath, views, pleasant common areas gym, per the person running it, was not really a gym, more a pool with four machines lying about near it.
friendly staff, beautiful rooms, very nice view; late check-out at 12h the restaurant is closed on sundays and saturdays; you have to pay extra for the swimming pool
Clean and comfortable room, however not quite a four star hotel!
Central located hotel, very comfortable, nice bar. A bit crowdy at breakfast
The sunlight in the lobby and breakfast room, the friendly people at the desk, the room itself was good-sized, the fact that the room was not noisy even though it overlooked the train station. Breakfast was good, and I like that it was included in the price of the room. my husband found the bed too soft, but that is probably personal preference. the bathroom/toilet was a bit smelly when we arrived. I don`t think the ventilation worked.
Decor / high ceilings, very nice bathroom, and great service. Great location in city.
Great room - lots of space. Good location. Friendly staff.
Breakfast, site and personnel were good. There was no air conditioning in my room. Outside were maybe 20 °C but inside the room were 28°C. The window was too small for the room and it couldn't really air it.
Excellent location.
It was great that they offer free WiFi internet.Breakfast was also great and included to the room rate.Location is perfect. Price was expensive.It wasn't nice that even they had availability,to ask for a extra payment to make a check in before 15:00 o'clock.If they won't had availability i could understood it.
Location only. Everything beside the location
Excellent location and fantastic rooms!!! Our room was very large and had a great view of the city. We felt that the security was a little lacking. We left our key for our room at the front desk and were never asked to verify who we were when we picked it up. Made us feel a little vulnerable. Also didn't like that there were not toiletries in the bathroom - had to ask for items from the front desk that are usually standard and expected.
Friendly staff! and excellent facilities. The breakfast buffet delicious
Limited sauna opening hours(only available after 5 PM and unusable with my schedule)
Nice staff. Far from city centre, although there's public transportation.
That there was still room available during a conference Long walking corridors to get to the room. No staircase (only elevator) to go to first floor.
The on site Sauna and the free pass to the Sachsentherme were relaxing; and that the hotel is within walking distance to the mall. Additionally, the Ramada was clean and well-maintained. The bedding was slightly overused and uncomfortable.
The room was excellent and the staff were friendly. The food was also very good - both at breakfast and evening meal. At times we wanted our room to be warmer but it was not possible to switch on the heating..
The hotel is close to the city. Transport. Bathroom and the living room are in one space.
Good location, clean rooms, and excellent dining
It's really a nice art nouveau hotel 100% worth of its price. For me a breakfast is a little bit overprices as i don't eat much in the morning. But for the selection and service it was excellent too.
It was very hot due to the lack of air conditioning. This made it very hard to sleep for three unusually hot days in Leipzig.
Proximity to city centre - but rooms were quiet, reception staff was excllent and very friendly, afternoon staff at the bar was not we were sitting in the bar area to have a coffee and were ignored by staff
The service was splendid. They were courteous, proficient in English, which helped me greatly, and always professional. The hotel itself was beautiful, and I would heartily recommend it to my friends and colleagues.
The air conditioning was excellent and made the stay very comfortable, even though it was only May.
Excellent location Not having tea/coffee making facitlities in the room, feel it is very important on a city trip
clean, well positioned near station and central transport for the city Small room with unbearable temperatures, so hot I barely slept for 3 nights, and an uncomfortably soft mattress
All the above. But no tea making facility I recall location. Some hotels stayed at provided bottled water free of charge & tea/coffee. Breakfast rather expensive. Location was just a little far from the city centre for walking-especially at night.
Easy 10-15 minute walk to the city center. AC. No breakfast alternatives available near the hotel; had to walk to city center. Parking is extra (7.5 Euros). Located in a darker area of town.
It was close to the centre of Leipzich, but the environment was really quite. Staff was really friendly and helped me with any info i needed about getting somewhere in the city Parking price is too high ... for hotel guests ...
the room was spatial. price should include breakfast and wireless connection just like many other hotels.
room was confortable, big and with nice views they tried to charge us for the breakfast by mistake
the friendliniess
The location was ideal and it was friendly and comfortable
Quiet and privacy. Garage approachable directly by internal lift. Room with window in block, because placed on top of the mall's glass-roof. The hotel find oneself in a isolated zone though near the city center.
The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were very helpful. It offered ease of access to the city centre. There were no tea making facilities in our room. Only a small complaint
Executive Lounge and Service by Staff was first rate Booked a Taxi with reception to Altenburg Airport but taxi took me to Leipzig Halle airport. Had to pay an extra 50 Euro through no fault of my own
Room was comfortable and well-designed. Also very clean. The swimming pool was small, not suitable for serious exercise.
The location is great. Walking distance from the main train station and to all the sights. Free internet access in the lobby and also at the Starbuck's across the street. Best place I stayed in Germany. Nothing...Alles Gute.
I think they must improve the breakfeast. It was good but not excelent as I would expect for the price. The bread was from the day before which is unaceptable because Germany has one of the best breads in Europe!!! They must put more options available and improve quality indeed!
Excellent friendly helpful staff No.
Everything was wonderful. The staff was very helpful. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is walking distance to the train station (even with luggage - only about a 3 min walk). It's also only a short walk to many of the main attractions (plus all the streetcars go through the Hauptbahnhof). The hotel has free bicycles to borrow! The breakfast is a huge spread of both hot and cold foods, worth the money. It charges for internet, which is getting less common as more hotels bundle it with the room. However, it was a fairly reasonable rate (about 12 Euros/day, you can buy up to several days at a time).
Very relaxed and comfortable feeling. Ideally placed for old city centre shopping and dining ,and easy walking distance to and from the train station Very disappointed that there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom
The sauna area looked nice, restaurant attached to hotel was decent, room was spacious and clean. Reception associates were rude. No coffee to use in room coffee pot. Room right above bar area so we couldn't open windows due to cigarette smoke, and the air conditioner didn't work. Location was atrocious for someone who doesn't have a car-we used tram.
It's ok for the price, but I wouldn't stay there again. They gave me the room on the middle of 1 & 2 floor, which I have to take an elevator to 2nd floor and walk 250m and take a stair down. They have these motion sensor to turn on the light, which kind of scary since I'm by myself in the middle of the week.
Parking area, large and clean room. Smelling in the bathroom, poor quality of internet connection, lack of refrigerator in the room.
Clean, well equipped room with balcony.... Good clean bath with strong hot shower. Very close to autobahn Helpful staff
All the staff's were very helpful.
The shower was not working properly. It should not take very much to fix it !
We love our stay at the Balance Hotel, mainly for the food and the services. The terrace in the back is charming and the breakfasts are fantastics. Very easy to reach the downtown using public transportation.
The hotel room was clean and updated. We will definitely stay at this hotel again. The street parking wasn't a problem. One can pay 6 euros a night to park in the hotel, but it isn't really necessary.
Price, Quality, Location, Staff,
We didn't have problems at all during our stay in this hotel. Big tidy room and a bathroom, no noise from outside, friendly stuff. I wouldn't call sauna and solarium ' the fitness centre' as it was in advertising... Restaurant is nice, but too expensive.
Very large and comfortable room. Excellent restaurant.
Very good secure underground parking, Very clean, Good Choice of Breakfast No AC in room
The staff were very helpful and the food was excellent. The room was as expected and very clean with good facilities (TV, minbar, wardrobe space etc..).Free public transport in Lepzig during our stay was provided. Breakfast was not included in the room rate.
Quiet enviroment, acces to public transport, easy possibility to park car

InstantNoodles // // with ettercap will tgt every node on your subnet. How many nodes are there; that could be the reason it is VERY slow....
Hello everyone. I have been testing side-jacking of a client; however, I am running into issue with speed. I do run a wireless, however I am well within range, signal strength (100%), and I receive a continuous flow of beacons.
I am running hamster and ettercap with the following:
I configure hamster to use the wlan adapter once I visit the local proxy of 127.0.01:1234 which it then shows hamster capturing packets../hamster
ettercap -Tqi wlan0 -M arp // //
I have tried ettercap/wireshark to dump to a file, then use ferret to strip cookies and run hamster, but I run into the same speed issue.
Also, is there a benefit of using ettercap/wireshark to write traffic to a file, then use ferret/hamster to strip the cookies? To me that is just a waste of time if the local hamster page can be configured to do the sniffing for you (and if you are side-jacking a session, time is of the essence).
Thanks in advance!

Pffbt..[quote]I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. [/quote]
I thought I replied to this earlier- I guess it didnt post.
There is only one computer active on the network, and that is the client I am hijacking. I have used specific targets and that did not speed anything up. Thoughts?

LONG BEACH — Self-directed learning proponent Sugata Mitra has been named as the recipient of the 2013 TED Prize, and will use the $1 million accompanying it to build a "learning lab" in India, overseen entirely by a global network of retired teachers who participate by Skype through the Cloud.
The School in the Cloud will allow children to "embark on intellectual adventures by engaging and connecting with information and mentoring online," Mitra said Tuesday at the annual TED Conference in Long Beach.
"My wish is to help design the future of learning by supporting children all over the world to tap into their innate sense of wonder and work together," Mitra said.
The school will serve as both an education and research center to further explore approaches to self-directed learning. It will be self-sustaining and managed by cloud technology, with an adult supervisor always on-site. Once complete, the design will become a blueprint and available for anyone to duplicate.
"We have the opportunity to choose and create the kind of world we want," Mitra said. "In an ideal world, we would have great schools with great teachers absolutely everywhere.
"Yet the reality is that there will always be places where good teachers cannot or will not go. If we're going to level the education playing field around the world, we need an alternative system that also prepares children to enter a technology-driven workplace. School in the Cloud has the potential to help achieve this."
Mitra developed the concept of the School in the Cloud from his 1999 "Hole in the wall" experiment, in which he carved a hole from his research center into an adjoining Delhi slum and placed a freely accessible computer in the hole.
Mitra found that groups of Indian street children, with no prior experience or knowledge of English, could teach themselves how to use the computer.
For the next 10 years, Mitra expanded on his findings and created a "granny cloud" - online moderators of retired teachers - who could Skype into learning centers and encourage children with questions and assignments.
Mitra developed the concept of Self Organized Learning Environments, where educators ask students questions, leading them on intellectual journeys rather than asking them to just memorize facts.
The TED Prize is awarded "to individuals who have demonstrated significant achievement that the prize wish can build on," director Lara Stein said.
"Sugata has not only created a remarkable body of research around self-directed learning, but he has support from teachers around the world who are tapping into his methodology with great success," Stein said.
"We are thrilled to support his wish, and are excited for him to delve deeper, build his lab in India, and provide platform for educators and parents around the world who wish to explore this model."

Old Time Fiddlers' Contest At Pine River Armory Saturday Nite, April 15 PINE JOURNAL VOLUME IV NUMBER 34 THE PINE iuVER JOURNAL, PINE RIVER, CASS COUNTY, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY,'APRIL 14, 1039 SUB. $1.00 In County, $1.50 onteltte IN CAPITOL MRIDORS By Lee M. Bennett Auction As the legislature goes into its final few days prior to adjourning, it is now certain that no new roads will be added to the state highway system this session. A few weeks ago I commented on this subject and stated then that it was quite evident that no action would be taken this year as that was the general report around the corridors. Several bills asking for added roads were introduced this session by members from various parts of the state. Among those were several from Senator Herreid and Representative Sawyer. These were for certain roads In Cass county as designated by the coun ty Commissioners, and included among others, the Pillager-Pine River road, road west of Pine River and the Woman Lake road. As stated before, though it is quite evident that no new roads will be added, both Senator Herreid and Representative Sawyer introduced bills ln case of the possibility of any additions at the last minute, cass county would then be in a position to ask for consideration which they would have received. There are many of us in Cass County who feel that we need more state highways. We should not be disheartened or give up the fight. When the legislature meets two years from now, <vs should again press this matter. Eventually the time will come when the highway department will feel that they can take on more miles, and when that time comes, Cass County citizens want to be on the job to get their needs taken care of. Aid To Walker Cemetery A bill introduced by Rep. Sawyer regarding aid for the Walker cemetery, has passed the House and is now awaiting action in the Senate. A large number of those who die at the State Sanatorium are burled in the Walker cemetery and for some time these graves have been neglected. The bill provides that the Sanatorium be directed to use employees to assist in the care of'and improving the cemetery. Educational Bills The educational appropriation bill passed the House last week and is now being considered by the Senate. It now appears that the regular state appropriation for schools will be prac- i tically the same in dollars and cents as last year, though a few special aids were added that will be of help to some districts in Cass County. I For several years, some $15,000 had been set aside to pay teachers ln Indian schools, practically all of which went to the Unorganized district. In-] advertently, this was left out of the| appropriation since 1935. Rep. Sawyer caught the error and it is again in the appropriation bill. Another bill appropriates $350,000 to distressed school districts, meaning those having an indebtedness in excess of 50 percent of the valuation of a district. In Cass County, the Pine River, Mildred, Remer and two country districts will be affected. Another bill alows increased aid to high school students in districts of 10 or more townships where pupils live more than ten miles from school. Tne present transportation aid is $36.00 per pupil for all pupils. The new bill increases the amount to $54.00 for tho longer hauling in such districts. An Auction Sale will be held at the R. H. Schmelzer fairm, 14- mi. west of Pine River on the Elwell. 3 miles south, 1-2 mile east and 1-4 mile west of the Elwell store, on Friday, April 14. 3 K.ad Cattle, 5 Head Horses, complete set of farm machinery and some household goods will be offered for sale.

Indoor poolFresh squeezed orange juice and fresh fruit for breakfast (I loved that)Clean roomExcellent service The hot tub water temperature was colder than the heated pool water
it is really very well located if you are going downtown or to industrial parks , halfway between both areas, nice restaurant with piano music in the morning relaxes you
Staff & food.
Room was nice size Staff members are rude. WIFI doesn't work. They don't tell which breakfast items are free until you get it and they charge you for it.
Nothing that really pops into mind. Room smelled like someone had smoked. Staff were rude. Breakfast was confusing when it came about deciding if it part of the breakfast deal or an additional fee. No WiFI whatsoever on any room or the lobby.
the internet didn't work, and my tv would turn on and off by itself. seems to have a very uncoordinated front desk. I paid for the hotel online ahead of time and when I arrived they charged my credit card again; then when I checked out, they gave me a different guest's bill, which I didn't realize until later.
The hotel is well situated if the trip is for business as it is near the industrial zone and the airport and fine dining within walking distance. The rooms are quite comfortable and spacious. Another advantage is the sports club within the facility with the only drawback that some noisy parties are held on weekends and with difficulty to find parking.
Hotel was located in a good part of Saltillo, Staff was helpful and always willing to accomadate yor request and needs. Construction made it almost impossible to access and with StarBucks located next door getting in and out was sometimes very difficult. Ceilings leaked very bad when it rained, I was in Room 219, also the key entry lock kept malfunctioning.
