Threats from Oklahoma man prompt 2 arrests
EDMOND — A man claiming to be the brother of the man charged with killing five people in El Reno was arrested Monday after police said he threatened to kill a person as he canvassed an Edmond apartment complex with a baseball bat.
Charles Dallas Due, has been having "serious issues and acting very funny" since Joshua Steven Durcho, 26, was arrested Jan. 13, according to an Edmond police report.
Due originally told police his name was Dallas Michah Durcho, and his common-law wife told police he was Joshua Durcho's brother.
Joshua Durcho faces five counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Summer Rust, 25, her daughters, Kirsten Rust, 7, Autumn Rust, 7, and Evynn Garas, 3; and her son, Teagin Rust, 4. Their bodies were found Jan. 12 in their El Reno apartment.
Due, 28, was arrested Monday morning on state complaints of drug paraphernalia possession and obstructing an officer. Witnesses said he was walking around the apartment complex much of Sunday with a bat and talking about killing someone he said had been breaking into his apartment and speaking ill of his wife.

Friday, October 21, 2011 More items for Surface Preparation
Hoses of red, silver, green, blue, orange and yellow will soon color the waterjetting landscape, as the industry begins to adopt a new safety scheme designed to better identify the pressure in use.
The Board of Directors of the WaterJet Technology Association – Industrial & Municipal Cleaning Association approved the new color-coding safety scheme at its meeting in September.
By coloring entire hoses, rather than using different colored stickers on uniform hoses, the association hopes to help contractors avoid the danger of using a hose at the wrong pressure.
The board approved adding wording regarding the color-coding scheme to Recommended Practices for the Use of High Pressure Waterjetting Equipment.
New Recommendation
The new text reads:
"Pressure hoses are designed for various pressures and could present a safety hazard if not used for the designated working pressure. In order to better identify the pressure in use, it is recommended that the following color code scheme is used for the applicable maximum working pressure:
"The color scheme should be easily identifiable at least two feet from both hose ends. January 1, 2013, is the effective date for implementation. Abrasion-proof stickers are acceptable in the interim."
Manual Updated
Effective immediately, the new wording will be added to the current edition of the Recommended Practices manual.
The 2011 edition of the manual was recently revised. The fourth edition, compiled by the SJTA-IMCA Safety Committee, includes a new section on the operation of automated equipment and other significant changes.
Surface Preparation
High Pressure Waterjetting (HPWJ) and Ultra High Waterjetting (UHPWJ) are becoming more common in industrial painting for surface preparation of steel and removal of coatings containing lead and other heavy metals.
Because this method carries the same responsibilities and obligations for waste management as abrasive blast cleaning, JPCL and SSPC recently hosted a webinar on managing and disposing of the waste from such projects.
A free webcast of the webinar is available.

We ordered a laptop from isme and went for the interest free just because it spread the cost. We were accepted and had confirmation that the account was setup and order processed and we printed the receipt. The laptop was for my son's birthday after 2 days it did not arrive, we checked and the order had been cancel on credit grounds no email or contact or anything. We rang them and they said our telephone number was wrong so they cancelled our order and credit. We got them too checked over the phone and we checked online and it was correct, apparently they cannot dial numbers correctly. Don't both to email their complaint department as they will not read it and send you a standard letter. Very poor customer service, pay cheap prices get cheap service.

Braintree: Campaigners demand cycle path work is halted
2:00pm Thursday 12th September 2013 in News
Campaigners are urging Braintree Council to halt work on a new cycle track amid claims it is destroying a nature reserve.
They fear the new £227,000 cycle path, connecting Vernon Way to River Mead in Braintree, will resemble a "run way" cutting through the Bocking and Blackwater Nature Reserve.
County Councillor Roger Walters, Chairman of the Braintree Local Highways Panel said: "The nature reserve is a wonderful place to visit, so we are hoping that many more residents will use the new path to discover areas of their town they haven't discovered before."

This is great news a cycle path making access to town quicker and safer and allowing more families to enjoy the parkland and river. Well done Braintree council good job!

Residents are not against improvements, just against stupidity and I suggest you go take a look for yourself before thinking its a great idea. You can see a before and after set of photos here:
There has always been a tarmac path used by cyclists, why not just widen or improve what already existed? Why build a runway 20 feet wide and 6 feet high that means you can't see the nature reserve any more? Surely the point of a beauty spot is that it is beautiful? It looks like a runway to a small airport and it's dangerous. If you came off it into 3 feet of icy water ... (because it's going through a flood plane and is not lit) you would have small chance of surviving.
No residents were consulted, there is already a lit path just 30 seconds up the hill which could have been adapted at a fraction of the cost. Meaning no damage to the Nature Reserve and improved local, safe and lit existing pathways.
Therefore... £220,000 saving to the residents of Braintree whose taxes aren't being spent on important things like making sure ambulances can get to sick people on well-lit roads at night but instead they are taking you up the garden path... simply ridiculous.

The fencing is only temporary, how on earth does it look like a runway?! What a bizarre thing to say. It's a massive improvement for the area, it makes the whole area much more accessible. The view from the path will be stunning what a great way to get to Bradford Street. Everyone was consulted on this, it was clearly advertised as part of the Braintree development plan. They held an exhibition earlier this year. I wish people would stop moaning and appreciate capital investment into our town!

No it's not, fencing is a part of the plan posted on the building site. This will make it difficult to get access as you will have to walk all the way around the path which is about a quarter mile.
It looks like a runway because it looks like a runway. Cycle paths are not built on raised mounds up to 5 feet high, they are not over 2 meters wide with a total width of nearer 20 feet in all and deep slopes. The width of the path means it is categorized as a road and falls under the highways department re maintenance.
'It's a massive improvement'...How can cutting down trees in a nature reserve be a massive improvement? Around 8 trees have been cut down, a trench has been widened allowing sewage to get into the river...do you think this an improvement?
Everyone was consulted on this... no one was consulted at all. The Braintree District Council website says no consultation with residence. Furthermore there are no plans available anywhere of the whole development because they have not been drawn up yet, only the recent stage 1 document which residents saw for the first time about a month ago after work had started. If you have seen documents showing plans designs structure etc please provide a link for us all to see.
Images of the development are available at
Perhaps you should look at this again.

ARIZONA -- I live in a rural area in Arizona and I have had a
phone for years at least 5 and I have never had any issues with the cellular company until now. We are constantly dropping calls and every time I have called or gone into the store I get told that there are towers down. Not to mention that I have a 4G phone that I bought locally and I come to find out that we don't even have a 4G tower but yet I have to pay for the 4G. REALLY talk about stealing from clients and misleading. This is a real issue with me because I am locked in a contract just the way they want me to be and have to pay for their prices. What surprises me is that Sprint used to have the best service here in my community and now they don't. I feel like they don't really care about how the customer is suffering as long as they get their money. If they really cared about us as customers, and keep in mind we are paying cell phone bills of over $150.00 a month they would get with it and fix the towers and do something to get 4G towers in the area. I am seriously thinking of switching to AT&T because their coverage is great from what I was able to see on line. Now whats this that on the Sprint page under coverage we are roaming is this another way that they will try to get more money from us. REALLY?

How strange, I live in rural Arizona and Sprint has never had good coverage here where I live. I switched to Verizon and have yet to find a place that did not have coverage out here. in fact, when I was out in Camp wood I still was able to make a call when it had no bars showing and talked fine. I never had AT&T but I have heard (and read here) many bad things about their coverage. unless your at Supai or Shonto you should get coverage in AZ with VZW.
Posted by leet60 on 2011-03-22:
Is the OP saying that Sprint's data plan for 4G coverage is more expensive than 3G? From what I can see on their website, data charges are the same regardless of device.
Posted by Jim on 2013-07-27:
well 3 years later and sprint coverage still sux. I was at knoebles grove in Elysburg PA and all my buddies who had verizon and att and T had strong signals and those of us with spring had NO coverage at all..

Tavros moaned as he took a deep and long breath.Tavros was sprawled out on the floor of his room. For a while now he just stayed in his hive, too tired to do anything, too weak to even really move.He lost so much blood after those trolls ripped his legs off that the only thing he can do now is rest."I must be the weakest troll on all of Alternia." He sighed as he rolled over onto his side."So weak and pathetic. On top of that I'm also a coward." He continued.Tinkerbull sat down next to Tavros, watching his every slight movement, making sure he doesn't push himself."You're an awesome lusus, Tinkerbull." Tavros said as he patted his lusus on its head.Suddenly Tinkerbull perked up and began to get really anxious."What is it? Is someone here?" Tavros said as he tried to sit up.His lusus nudged him back down and flew over to the door.Tavros felt a terrible chill run down his body.Could it

Tavros had been trying to tell Gamzee about his plans on what he'll do once he leaves, but Gamzee would redirect the conversation to something like grub names or Karkat's little fits.Tavros assumed that Gamzee didn't want to think about him leaving, and to be honest Tavros really really didn't want to think about it either, but it couldn't be avoided."Hey Tav bro, isn't that your mother fucking hive?" Gamzee said as he pointed out to a hive with a couple targets in front of it.Tavros nodded his head and gripped Gamzee's hand a bit tighter."That's cool mother fucker." Gamzee smiled as he followed Tavros to the front door.Opening the door, the smell of dried blood and stiff air filled the two trolls' noses. Tavros crinkled his nose at the smell and felt

Karkat yelled as he stomped towards the two trolls."At Tav bro's hive. Why is something mother fucking bothering you best friend?" Gamzee said as he tilted his head defensively."Yes, I mean no. Fuck, Gamzee we need to talk. This whole carnival thing is getting out of hand and we're all sick of it. Can you fucking drop it and let us fucking go!" Karkat yelled.Tavros felt a bit uncomfortable being stuck in the middle of something he knew hardly anything about.Looking up, Tav noticed that Gamzee was biting his lip in order to suppress his anger."I hear yeah mother fucker, let's talk about this later, Tav bro and I just got back and we're both all kinds of mother fucking tired from getting our walk on."

Hello - I will be traveling by train in Germany/Austria in October. The itinerary is set:
1) Fly to Frankfurt, stay several days with friends near Karlsruhe.
2) Train Karlsruhe to Munich, stay 3 nights
3) Train Munich to Salzburg, stay 3 nights
4) Train Salzburg to Rothenburg, stay 2 nights
5) Train Rothenburg to Frankfurt, overnight and fly home the next day.
Questions -- for four journeys, should I buy point-to-point tickets or a railpass? If point-to-point, when and through whom should I purchase tickets? I already checked RailEurope and some tickets can't be purchased yet. If I have a pass, can I really just jump on any train that's convenient?
Thanks for any and all help!

Hi azzure,
Please don't use Raileurope to see point-point ticket prices; their prices are always higher than the actual fares.
Instead, use the German rail site to see the fares --
Make sure that you get your tickets early; the discounted fares go on sale 92 days early, but the cheapest fares sell out fast. It's best to mark your calendar and be ready to buy.
You can generally find fares around 29 Euro -- and getting those discounted fares will make a Pass unnecessary.
Have fun as you plan.

Hi - as swandav2000 suggests, I'll be waiting until 92 days before to purchase my point-to-point tickets for my October trip. Unfortunately, I just looked at my calendar and I will be away from home, and thus unable to book my tickets, until about 80 days before my trip. Do the cheap point-to-point tickets sell out THAT FAST, or am I safe in waiting until I get home?

Hi again,
Well, it really varies according to the route. Sometimes you can still find the 29 Euro fares as late as the week before you travel, but sometimes not. Sometimes you'll find fares a bit higher but still not as high as the walk-up fares.
If you have a laptop, you can buy the fares online. If you have a smartphone, you can download the DB app and buy them with your phone.
Otherwise, you'll have to wait until you return. You'll probably still be able to get a decent deal.

Cutting 2C hair short?

Speaking from personal experience, you have to be extremely careful when cutting hair really short, especially wavy or curly. I went from almost waist length hair to a pixie/crop, and hated it. Not that I hate short hair. I LOVE short hair especially messy pixie cuts, but my face was too long, my hair shrank too much because of my wave/curl(though it was too short to look wavy it shrank almost an inch), and she cut it too short. It was awful.. and my best friend and her mom thought I look kind of like a ferret(the cut brought a little too much attention to my big, round eyes). XD
But that aside, if you're dead set on a shorter style, then I would definitely recomend something I little longer then those. You have a longer face, and those cuts wouldn't be flattering. The would make your face look longer and more narrow.
I would get something at least this longer, maybe a little longer to be on the safe side. You can always cut off more later.
As far as growing out, it might poke out in some places(might not), but for the most part it should look the same way it does now once you grow it out. I had a pixie cut about 3-4 years ago, and aside from that akward phase of being between just above your shoulders to just below, which everyone goes through who's had short hair that they're growing, My hair grew out quite nicely in the end. Trying to get it back to waist length right now.
I also love men's wear and suits, and wear them fairly often(if not more mens wear inspired clothing, vintagey type things), and I love your "shirt". I'm only 5'4" but the way I'm built(big bust small waist) I have a hard time finding dress that don't end up mcuh shorter then they should be.. hehe I imagine you would prefer a more low maintance hair care routine, but you might try going CG, especially before dying your hair(the healthier it is the better your colour will turn out). It should also help cut back on the frizz.
Oh goodness, that was a lot. I think I covered everything. ^^' Sorry about the length.

that they actually held the balance of power, and com-
pelled the majority to yield to their demands, or would
threaten to go over to the minority. They first re-
quired one member of the Legislature, which was
granted; then two, they were yielded.
And then,
whatever they wished and as they plealed. In a
meeting of this Society, the Loco Foco party had
its origin. The foreigners liad become so powerfal
and domineering tliat the Americans resisted their
Yotes and blew out the lights! The foreigners re-
lighted them by Loco Foco matches, and carried the
measure by their own votes. This was the fatal mo-
ment when Americans went over to Eomanism. Sub-
sequent to the formation of the Tammany Society, but
at the same epoch in our national history, was the
Order of Cincinnati, another strong political society,
which made ineligible to membership, any American
who was not a native born son of the soil. AYashing-
ton himself was President-General of that Order, to
the close of his life. As Andrew Jackson had been a
leader of the Tammany before its degenerate days.
In 1839, the Pope's agent, Bishop Hughes, called a
public meeting at Carroll Hall, in the City of New
York, lectured his people and nominated his own
political ticket. The Democrats with whom he usually
cooperated, had not that year made selections suited
to his peculiar taste, and he determined to prove them,
where the balance power was deposited.
Having failed to get a portion of the School Fund,
appropriated by the Legislature, this wily Jesuit had
the daring audacity, relying on his influence over the
ballot-box with mercenar}^ politicians of all parties, to
obtain a committee, appointed by himself, to go into
the Public Schools of New- York, and wherever books
inimical to the Romish Creed were found, to expunge
all objectionable passages from the same.
That act aroused the sentiment of American nation-
ality in the native sons which was demonstrated by
petitions, processions, inflammatory banners, and de-
nunciatory meetings, and drove from tlie ballot-box in
disgust and contempt many of the noblest and truest
American men.
In 1843, a few Democrats met by accident in a black-
smith's shop, in the lltli Ward of New York city, and
canvassing the j^alpable evils perpetrated upon us by
the foreign hierarchy of Rome, resolved to do some-
thing to arrest it. A meeting was soon after called,
over which Mr. John Culiver presided, and after
adopting rules to govern their action, and organizing
the 11th W^^tl, they caused a similar movement in
the 17th, both strong Democratic Wards, and thus con-
tinued their proceeding, until this organization existed
in a majority of the Wards in I^ew York city. It was
not imtil after the first powerful Democratic Wards
had originated the idea and embodied it into action
and energy, that a single Whig had joined their ranks.
These meetings were then in secrec}', not only to save
their destruction, but the lives of the joarties who were
engaged in them. And when they had advanced by
their operations to the grand harmony of action, they
called a public meeting at the 14th Ward Hotel, the
heart of an Irish district in the city, and publicly pro-
claimed and ratified their principles !
In the following November election, Messrs. Jesse C.
Wood and Mangle M. Quackenboss, old Tammany Hall
leaders, in the days of Andrew Jackson, were pre-
sented as their candidates. Military Hall in the
Bowery, opposite Spring street, was the established
head-quarters of this party, and Mr. Alexander Cope-

land, another distinguislied Tammany Hall leader, was
elected chairman of the executive committee, beside
many other prominent of&cers, who, unwilling to be
duped, had turned away in pity and disgust on the
discovery of the '^Yelled Prophet!" As that ma-
chinery is most ingenious which contains principles
for correcting its own imperfections, so this American
organization continued to improve upon experience
and its full development in the succeding winter,
months secured the nomination and election the fol-
lowing spring, 1844, of Mr. James Harper, as their
Mayor, with a majority of the Common Council.
The pride of having taken from our national shield
some of the misfortune inflicted by our enemies, in-
duced the call of a meeting by the Americans, at the
Park, to give expression to their joy. AYhen Bishop
Hughes, writhing under the friction of defeat, wrote to
the mayor and advised him not to allow that meeting
to take place, or it would end in bloodshed! The
warning menace of the Pope's officer, caused its aban-
donment ! But the American people, who are to their
country, as the law to the sword, are resolved by God's
mercy and strength to-day, evermore to direct its
stroke and temper its force! It was then that Mr.
Jesse C. Wood, a valiant soldier in the American
cause, volunteered in the spirit of the heroes and mar-
tyrs of '76, to risk life to extend this American or-
ganization over the State, and amidst danger, difficulty
and eminent personal peril, he succeeded in Albany,
Troy, Schenectady, Syracuse, Auburn, and Buffalo,
and made provision for a State Convention, the suc-
ceeding fall, wliicli nominated its State Ticket at Utica.
Mr. Thomas K. Woodruff and Judge Campbell were
thus sent to the House of Eepresentativcs of the United
States, with a majority of delegates to the Assembly
from the city of New York, and Mr. George Folsom
to the Senate of that State. Mr. Wood, free from am-
bitious aspirations and above the desire or expectation
of pecuniary reward, still continued his patriotic labors,
and in the winter of that year organized a majority of
the towns of Westchester, the entire counties of Putnam
and Dutchess, half of Columbia, and several in Orange
and Sullivan counties, in that State. These are the
services which will command the lasting approbation
and love of the American people, and place the actors,
in the elevation of humanity, above the reach of
Bishops with their mitres, or kings with their sceptres !
The butchery of Americans, perpetrated in Philadel-
phia by the Irish Jesuits, next advanced on the move-
ment of Bishop Hughes in New York. But in using
the tools they cut their own lingers, and out of it arose
the "Native American Party,"of that city. The " shoot-
ing down" Americans for the exercise of freemen's
privileges, aroused simultaneouly the spirit of resist-
ance in Boston, the old Cradle of Liberty, which had
that magnificent tea party, of whom all patriots have
heard. The " Order of United Americans" had then
seven lodges there, and the " Sons of America" also,
their "encampment," the "Shifaer Club," which had
been formed about this period, guided and directed by
the true instincts of American nationality, announced a
meeting at Fort Hill, in the centre of the Jesuit foreign
population of Boston, upon which their Priests procured
five hundred muskets and other warhke equipments,
and following the illustrious example of their ISTew
York Archbishop, threatened insurrection and blood,
if the Americans carried out their programme. A vast
arm J, numbering some ten to fourteen thousand, arose
at this signal of defence, composed of young men of
every avocation, clerks, mechanics, and farmers, from
the adjoining towns, who marched in procession, armed
with the Stars and Stripes of our country waving over
their heads, and there gave expression to national sen-
timents and American principles and purposes. While
Bishop and Priests combined, these men were neither
"cowards nor the sons of cowards," but bravely faced
their foes. The prominent speakers on that occasion,
were Messrs. Gowan, Oxton, Hildreth, Foster Bryant,
Jesse Mann, and Wilham Scudder Tisdale, of New
York city. Noble sons of worthy sires !
More than eight years subsequent to the great
and patriotic Order of United Americans, and fif-
teen after the first Native American Association,
the germ of the Know-Nothing Order arose, from
whence has been developed the national party, which
in God's providence has revealed itself, not only in
capital cities, but has crowded every highway, and
entered every hut and hamlet in our land, and is now
the bahu of mercy to our suffering country.
A few individuals residing in the city of New York,
who had hived the facts in connection with the cruci-
fiers of American liberty in that citj^, and could no
longer endure the chiding, insult, and neglect of the
native-born citizens, wlio, bruslied aside and thwarted
by tlie political parties with which thej had inflexibly
cooperated, for foreigners who were enriched and re-
warded by the honor and emoluments of office, until
becoming the balance power and standing perpen-
dicularly upon American rights and prerogatives, had
announced the fatal fact, with an insolent audacity,
which irresistibly aroused the power and thunder of
the national thought. Hence, an alliance was then
formed of native born sons of all parties, animated by the
determined principle to prevent foreigners from holding
any office, joolitical station, and manifesting especial
hostility to the foreign Catholic or Papist, as infinitely
least American in his sympathies, more scornfal and
arrogant, the most servile and degraded, both from
ignorance and bigotry. This organization was intended
to operate only upon the municipal affairs of the city
of ISTew York, and to bring her native born -citizens to
see the consuming fire, with such deep earnestness as
to place themselves, at least upon a level with the
alien. Its rugged sterling worth gained it rapid
strength, and a few " Councils," or " Wigwams,*'
bound by secret rites and obligations, were formed,
and exerted in some of the Wards a powerful and im-
portant influences in the municipal elections of that
The alien Catholic population had spoken in the mean-
while in unmistakable and emphatic verdict against us
by concerted associations of that entire portion of the
population, and in some of the cities of the adjoining
States, such had been the violence of attack upon the
Bible, tlie legal observance of tlie Sabbath, and the
greatest glory of our peculiar institutions — the Public
Schools — that the want of some such organization be-
came a feeling with the American people ! Learning of
the existence of the new association in New York, citi-
zens of different States when visiting that city, embraced
the occasion to be admitted to membership, who, on
returning to their homes, quick and resolute, instigated
the establishment of similar associations to resist the
foreign influence in their own municipalities. The clear
graphic sight of the vigorous action of this system,
now developed the idea of a national organization for
national ends. It was truly the bursting fire, as if by
accident, which God had overruled to pierce the mar-
row of our national troubles. After difficulty and
disorder, the leaders of this great movement, agreed
for the common benefit, to divide their sceptre, and the
act of separation was so decreed. The one party call-
ing its subordinates "Wigwams," and "Lodges," were
assigned the IS'orth and East, as the field of their oper-
ation, while the other, bearing the title of " Council,"
were destined to the South and West. New York
was the head-quarters of both, and the " State Wig-
wam" and the ^' State Council" of the State of New
York were respectively regarded as the national heads
of their sections, until five State Wigwams or Councils
had been formed, when a congress of delegates from
these would constitute a national body.
The sweet native graces of these principles began
immediately to melt and inflame the national heart,
and subordinate Councils or Wigwams were formed in
New Jersey, in April, 1853 ; Marjdand, the following
May ; Connecticut, in July ; Ohio, in October ; Penn-
sylvania, in December of the same year. The gen-
erous, all-embracing love of country, soon knit without
mystery an extended American brotherhood and strong
in understanding, as American in character, a conven-
tion composed of one delegate from every Council,
Lodge, and Wigwam in the United States, was con-
voked. On the 14th of May, 1854, at 81 East-
Broadway, New York cit}^, the Empire State of New
York, with New Jerse}^, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Yirginia, Ohio, and the District of Columbia, thus res-
ponded to the call, and looking to a closer and firmer
growth, a consolidated union was the result, and under
the name of "Grand Council" of the United States, a
meeting was appointed for the 14th of June, in the
same year. The light in the mean while had found its
way through small apertures, in Indiania, New Hamp-
shire, Maine, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Rhode
Island, Illinois, and Michigan, and in the order named.
When, therefore, the Grand Council assembled on the
14th of June, at the former place, it was found neces-
sary to remove to the Odd Fellow's Hall, to accommo-
date the increased number of delegates. A striking
portrait in this feature of the movement, was that this
Council was a representation from thirteen States ! It
now became thoroughly compacted into harmonious
life and action, and after a most exciting session of
three days, their Constitution and Ritual were adopted
on the 17th of June. As if to catch the essence and
rapture of Liberty, at every progress this happened to
AMERICAN OPvGAXIZATIOXS. 271
be also, tlie anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill !
Under that enactment, with such subsequent amend-
ments as time has shown to be expedient, this Order
lias since been established in ever}^ State and Territory
which is sheltered under the American Union.
Thus free from ambitions yearnings, and advancing
comparatively under an uncertain guidance, has a seem-
ing trivial event become, under a beneficent destiny,
the cornucopia of power and effort and wise action, for
the second deliverance of the American people.
The ofiicers of the f-rst Grand Council were as fol-
lows: —
James W. Barker, Esq., New York City, President.
W. W. Williamson, M.D., Alexandria, Va., Yice-Pres.
Charles D. Deshler, New Brunswick, N. J., Cor. Sec.
James M. Stephens, Esq., Baltimore, Md., Rec. Sec.
Uenry Crane, M.D., Cincinnati, 0., Treasurer.
The officers of the present National Council are :
E. B. Bartlett, Esq., Covington, Ky., President.
Charles D. Freeman, Esq., Philadelphia, Pa., Yice-Pres.
Charles D. Deshler, New Brunswick, N. J., Cor. Sec.
James M. Stephens, Esq., Baltimore, Md., Rec. Sec.
Henry Crane, M.D., Cincinnati, Ohio, Treasurer.
" Oh for a tongue to curse the slave,

Has America indeed a paralysis of tlie lieart ? Can
sTie no longer penetrate the mystery wliicli began lier
life and heat ? Has she surrendered her recruiting force,
and become lost to sensibility, by the exhaustion put
upon her by the Eomish Hierarchy, the Anti- American
government which now afflicts and saddens her peo-
ple ? Thank God, we have yet a claim ! and the wail
and clamor of complaint and sorrow which has gone
out in thunder tones must arouse the national heart,
and shake its strong foundation from centre to extreme !
The pride of our country has been broken, our
American navy, which has so nobly, fearlessly, and
majestically illustrated the honor and dignity of Ameri-
can liberty, and linked her sparkling glory to admira-
tion and Avonder, in all lands and climes, has suddenly
been collapsed — crushed, and placed under the curse
of humiliation and punishment, not merely by the
lower agents, "the Eetiring Xavy Board," but by the
-gr£5jed"byJ C -
/{^c -y^.Jf. J^zr...
President of the United States, the Secretary of the
ISTavy, and the same un-American influence which has
given and supported the original distinction of the
present National Executive ! A frightful parricide has
thus been made upon America's maternal heart, and
without the solemn grace of dying like men, two hun-
dred and one officers have been struck off in a single
flake, and at least five hundred American families, who
were wrapped but yesterday in the laugh of security
and triumph, in the faith of American integrity, are
now bowed down under the shock of surprise, which
the secret sword of malice or caprice has sent into their
throbbing, unsuspecting bosoms.
An act ostensibily to promote the efficiency of the
navy, but really to destroy it, was by carnal weapons
and worldly devices, thrust upon the country during
the last hours of the former Congress, and approved
on the 28th of February, 1855.
It bore from its inception only the brightness of the
grave, and so conscious were its factors of its want of
mercy, dignity, and strength, that it escaped prostration
by party tactics, and was borne through the two houses
of Congress by attaching it to the Appropriation bill,
and thus, unnoticed, because unseen and unobserved,
made its foot-print silently over that political race-
course. This act of Congress then provided "the
finding of a Judicial Commission of fifteen officers of
the Navy, selected by the Goverment to carry out the
law, which "finding" was approved by the President
and Secretary of the Navy, under whose " instructions"
the whole matter was perfected. And thus by a " Bill"
■which senators and members now frankly acknowledge
they had neither digested nor read, have the noblest
American citizens been betrayed, their honor sullied,
and their dearest rights as officers and men, shamefully
outraged and trodden under foot. It was by the votes
of a Democratic Congress that the act was passed, and
by the Secretary of the Navy and President Pierce's
sanction and approval, that the scythe was whetted by
that Board of "fifteen," which has mowed the flower
of the I^avy from American soil. ISTo culprit, advocate
or accuser was seen at that bar, from whence these
American men have been knocked off from the service
of their country, and tyranny and cruelty could inflict
no greater torture than to condemn freemen without fur-
nishing a charge, or permitting a defence ! More absolute
power than has thus been arrogated, was never exercised
by any government on the face of the earth. Why has
the American ISTavy been withered by this sweeping
execution, stripped of its just domains, when the
country's appeals to its force, as its right arm of defence,
was never more determined? Why are her brave
spirits, whose intense labor and endurance in the
service of the people, whose blood and language, and
religion and laws are all American, shuffled like dice
by political Jesuit throw-holders ? The • cruel indiffer-
ence and unscrupulousness with which this late action
of the National Executive has shaken the very citadel
of American liberty and smitten with smiling implaca-
bility the American Navy ; in this the blessed day of
its revenge upon true Americans — calls upon this
people to rise in the spirit of the heroes of '76, who
took oppression and scandal from the American name ;
and whether it be principal or accomplice, make a stand
against offenders by that warning hour of reckoning
for those who would ruin and enslave their country,
and bring disgrace and degradation upon her sons,
under the form of law !
But whence the arbitrary discretion of this act, which
has not a vestige of constitutional right, and is violative
of those of the individual States of the Union ? Let
the American people who have been eaten as meat and
bread by the corrupting, corroding, consuming, foreign
oppression of the repacious foe of Kepublicanism, fathom
the question ! and realize in this action of the govern-
ment, a deliberate, concerted attempt, on that part of the
enemy, which detests freedom and maintains the "gov-
ernment of authority" to blemish the honorable life
of the American Navy, and to throw into the back-
ground, men who had never flinched before persecuting
tyrants or hostile armies ; and without fear or scruple,
vfere ready to offer up their lives for the honor and
glor}^ of their own beloved country. It was this same
Komish influence which induced the acknowledgment
from a leader of the Democratic party, in sullen and
resentful candor, that it had elected every democratic
President from the days of Mr. Munroe ! The inten-
sity and energy with which it has furbished and made
efiicient the present onset upon the navy, can no more
be doubted, than its claim for victory and dominion in
all other cases, where the interests of Americans were
to be sacrificed.
The seat of a Eoman Catholic Postmaster General
in the Cabinet, ^\'itli two ISTortliern Abolitionists, as well
as the foreign missions, were fresh engines of power,
obtained as the price of the last Presidential vote ! The
Pope of Rome by his encyclical letter of 1840, looked
at slavery as an artist ; and to hasten his supremacy in
the United States, through aliens in language, manners,
and intellectual constitution, he there essays to excite
scorn and disgust between the northern and southern
sections of this blood-bought Union, that the Papacy
might appropriate the benefits of this sectional exas-
peration, to drench our country in its vinegar and galh
And when the merciless atrocity upon the American
ISTavy, which emanated from the judgment-seat at
"Washington, has been fearlessly exposed by tlie iron
courage of American men, the Church of Rome will
have been found the skilful leecher which has bled the
hearts of her sons and quivered the lips and made
weeping eyes around so many unfriended, unprotected
fire-sides — Helpless widows who brought their noble
sons in boyhood and dedicated them afresh to the
service of their country, and thus feeling the compen-
sation of their own loss, suffer in secret this dauntless,
gigantic oppression, which has disgraced their sons,
divorced them from the service of the country they
taught them to love ; far more, than they mourn the
penury, to which it has possibly subjected them.
It was Mr. Mallory, a Roman Catholic Senator from
Florida, who first introduced a bill of this character in
the Congress of the United States, and who is now
adding to the pangs of wounded American honor, by
his uncompromising defence of the action of the ISTavy
ATTEMPT TO DESTROY AMERICAN XAYY. 2n
Board ; the Secretary^ wlio administered the rules and
reguL^tions for their guidance and the President who
approved it! "Having carefully examined and de-
liberately considered the report ! " And the death-
darkness of its action — without records, charges, argu-
ment or evidence by which the reputation or usefulness
of these two hundred and one ofdcers could justly be
tainted — ^he mingled his streng-th with the error of that
disgraceful judicial torture, and with a gag to the
mouths of these gallant men, dragged them out by
public injustice to die ofiicially, from the active list of
the American Kavy. Our arms, arts, science, letters,
commerce, agriculture have all been slackened by this
stunning blow, and the American people want light
upon the matter — liglit that shall show her men as
they have ever looked in the issue and the fight,
neither concealed by intrenchments nor hid in Mexican
ditches !
Mr. Samuel F. Dupont and Mr. Godon, members of
this scarlet board, are Eoman Catholics, while Mr.
Shubrick, the President, is so connected by marriage.
Why were Komanists thus anxious to subjugate the
American Navy? AYhy did they desire to impair
its vigor? It was for the same purpose for which
his Holiness the Pope sent his Bull to agitate slavery,
and obtain the repeal of the Missouri compromise,
effected through the patronage of the National Execu-
tive ! It was to sap the foundation of our democratic
liberty and our glorious Constitution of Government,
which is hateful to European State-Church Absolutism,
and the cunning disciples of Jesuitism, who run wild
witli delight in crippling tlie only arm of tlie national
defence, with which the United States of America could

Today I invite you to have a look around the biggest courtyard of the New York Chinese Scholar's Garden. It is dedicated to my dear flickr friend ecco9494 who spend her afternoon with us exploring Snug Harbor.
My main picture is a roof detail of the Knowing Fish Pavilion. I just love those elegant forms and the craftsmenship that went into creating this beauty. Hope you feel so too.
Some previously unmentioned information about the design as it plays a role in my additional captures in the comments:
The garden is designed with "ya", or elegance. The garden is traditionally entered through a narrow passage where meditation takes place, prior to entering the main garden. The design of the garden produces harmony through its views and concepts. The garden creates an infinite space within an enclosed area.
- The borrowed view extends space beyond the border of the garden.
- The hidden view creates suspense and excitement as one moves deeper into the garden.

The New York Chinese Scholar's Garden (寄興園 or New York Chinese Garden). It is a part of the Staten Island Botanical Garden, located in the Snug Harbor Cultural Center (opened in June 1999). A team of 40 Chinese artists and artisans from Suzhou constructed the garden.
Some History:
Traditional Chinese gardens go back almost 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty though most Scholar's Gardens date back to the more recent Ming and Qing dynasties.
A Scholar's Garden would have been built by a scholar or an administrator retiring from the emperor's court. It would have been an enclosed private garden always associated with a house which, in turn without its garden, would not have been considered whole.
This garden, designed and built by Landscape Architecture Corporation of China (LAC), is enclosed by walls, a series of pavilions, and covered walkways. These are all organized in an irregular manner to create a series of courtyards of varying sizes.
The art of the Chinese garden is closely related to Chinese landscape painting - it is not a literal imitation of a natural landscape, but the capturing of its essence and spirit.
The parallel could be drawn to a Chinese hand scroll painting which as it unrolls, reveals a journey full of surprises and meditative pauses.
The enjoyment of the garden is both contemplative and sensual. It comes from making the most out of the experiences of everyday life, as such, architectural elements are always a part of a Scholar's Garden.
The painter's eye must be used to lay out the main architectural elements - the wall becomes the paper the rockery and plant are painted on. The structures playfully rise and fall, twist and turn and even "leave" the garden to take advantage of and even create a great variety of beautiful scenes.
To paraphrase the 15th century garden designer Ji Ching:
"The garden is created by the human hand, but should appear as if
created by heaven."
Some of the elements found in the garden:
Wood - Nails or glue are not used in a Chinese garden. Wooden elements are
joined together using traditional Chinese construction techniques.
Rocks - In Chinese literature, rocks are described as the "bones of
the earth."
Water - The garden contains three ponds and one waterfall. Water is thought
of as the arteries of the world.
Plantings - China has contributed the rose, lilac, daphne, species of
rhododendron, and the peony to the rest of the world. Trees, shrubs,
and flowers are selected for shape, seasonal character, and symbolic
Furniture - The furniture of the garden is called the "internal
Walls - Walls are strategically placed in the garden for design purposes.
Walkways - The curvature of the walkways offer many views and angles.
Pavilions - There are two pavilion in the garden. One is for the scholar's
study and the other provides visual access to various other scenes.
Xie - A Xie is a building one half hovering over a lake. The designs
makes it seem that the building is floating in the water.
Bridge - Bridges are often curvy, providing visitors a better view of the
Painting and Calligraphy - Paintings and calligraphy represent the garden owner's knowledge of
literature and art.
And a little bit about Snug Harbor:
Sailors' Snug Harbor, also known as Sailors Snug Harbor or Snug Harbor
Cultural Center and Botanical Garden or referenced informally as Snug
Harbor, is a collection of architecturally significant 19th century
buildings set in a park located along the Kill Van Kull on the north
shore of Staten Island in New York City. It was once a home for aged
sailors and is now a 83-acre (340,000 m2) city park. Some of the
buildings and the grounds are used by arts organizations under the
umbrella of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden.
Sailors' Snug Harbor includes 26 Greek Revival, Beaux Arts, Italianate
and Victorian style buildings. The site is considered Staten Island's
"crown jewel" and "an incomparable remnant of New
York's 19th-century seafaring past." It is a National Historic
Landmark District. (from either wikipedia or Snug Harbor Cultural
Center & Botanical Garden)

Judged: 1 1 1 Where you at "Liar"....this is your boy Romney at his finest! |

Judged: 1 1 1 If you believe that either of them isn't a controlled puppet who will do exactly as commanded, you really need to get your head out of the sand. We'll get who they want us to have. TPTB don't care which of them is 'elected.' There's not an ounce of difference between them. We still get an illusion of having a choice though. It's too late. Better stock up now. The end is near. |
Judged: 1 1 1 IF you believe there's no difference between the parties, you need to pull your head out of your backside. The republican party seeks to abolish any form of a safety net, be it food stamps, unemployment, unions, child labor laws, environmental protections, Social Security, Medicare, basically anything that doesn't benefit the wealthy and have for decades. It's because of the democratic party that such things as Social Security, Medicare and other safety net programs exist. The only reason you might need to stock up is if Romney and the republicans gain control again. |
Judged: 1 1 1 New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election http://www.prisonplanet.com/new-threats-to-ri... Buzz explodes across web Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com October 15, 2012 Despite the issue receiving national media attention, Obama supporters continue to threaten to riot if Mitt Romney wins the presidential election, raising the prospect of civil unrest if Obama fails to secure a second term. The new threats continue to dominate Twitter and the vast majority make no reference to the medias coverage of the issue over the last week, illustrating the fact that they are a legitimate expression of how many Obama voters plan to respond if Romney comes out on top. An Infowars.com story written by Michael Snyder which was picked up by the Drudge Report over the weekend and has since gone viral documented how Twitter was flooded with messages from Obama supporters threatening to riot, a sign that whichever side loses this election will accuse the other side of stealing the election. The story was subsequently picked up by innumerable media outlets. Highly respected economist and authorThomas Sowell also voiced his concerns that race riots could ensue if Obama is not re-elected. Checking Twitter feeds this morning, we discovered that threats to riot on behalf of Obama supporters are still flooding in, with the users seemingly unaware of the fact that the media has now picked up on the buzz. We checked the Twitter accounts and virtually all of them are owned by people who have made hundreds or thousands of previous tweets, proving they are genuine accounts and not fakes. Examples of what people are saying include the following; If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot. If Obama dont win lets start a riot so Romney know what hes getting himself into. You know you aint shit if you gotta MAKE Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! . Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot. If Romney wins im goin on a rampage. If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up. If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romneys elected?#Riot in the streets!! If Romney becomes president lets all start a riot. I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT. If romney wins, imma start a mfn riot! Rns. Although most of the individuals posting the messages dont even attempt to justify why they plan to riot, others have pointed to fears about a Romney administration withdrawing or limiting government handouts. You can check out some of the screenshots from these Twitter users below. We didnt even include all of the messages because there are simply too many to track. |
Judged: 1 1 1 No wonder it cracks you up....look at the source! PRISON PLANET???? Really, that's your information source? No, I won't riot if "my side" doesn't win. The question is, will you pull your head out of your azz no matter who wins? |
Judged: 2 2 1 |
Judged: 1 1 1 IF you think Romney can magically change the coal market, increase natural gas prices and strengthen the world economy, you're living in an alternate reality now. |
Judged: 2 2 2 |
Judged: 1 1 1 Because we saw what Bush's policies did and Romney advocates the same thing. Tax cuts for the wealthy, paid for by taxing the middle class and abolishing Social Security and Medicare. Advocating more wars with Syria and Iran. Republicans are the most anti-American group in our nation today. |
Judged: 1 1 1 vote for Romney and not only will you be living in a ghost town, but you won't have any food stamps. |
Judged: 2 1 |
Judged: 1 1 1 Hi Sam, For me, it has nothing to do with race but record. When you come in as President claiming that you will cut the Debt by half & do nothing by add to it, while your wife spends $10Million in vacations. Theres something wrong. |

Judged: 1 1 1 You're lying It's all about race for you. You can't hide it. You even blurted it out about the mexican restuarant, calling them "illegals". Just how does someone from California know about the legal status of those employees in Ky and WV? You're a bigot and a racist alright, you just don't have the guts to admit it. |
Judged: 1 1 1 He's been slamming Obama for months about foreign policy, but last nite, he said he agreed with everything Obama is doing. He criticized the 2014 withdrawl from Afghanistan for months. Then last nite, his policy was to withdraw in 2014...what???? He criticized the president over Syria and the deaths there. What would he do different? Not one thing! No-fly zone? Nope Invade with US Troops? Nope This clown Romney is an empty suit. He has no core. |

Chad Findley talks Tony Hawk's Proving Ground |
Listed in: PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 Tags: Activision, Tony Hawk
We already nailed down some major details about Activision's Tony Hawk's Proving Ground and its grand scale. Skate fans who've been keeping a tab on this title would know about the different locations, skater types, and cool features like the video editor. For those not in the know, here's co-project lead Chad Findley giving us a brief rundown.
Days of busting tricks over the west coast are finally over, as Proving Ground takes the challenge to the east. Hot spots Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC will be the new playgrounds. Players will be in the shoes of three different skaters - the pro, the hardcore, and the type who skate for the sake of it. Whatever you choose, anyone can become a star with the video editor packed with plenty of bells and whistles.

"Very bad hotel reception and services"
First when we arrived in hotel's reception, there was no one smiled to us, we didn't feel that we are welcome in this hotel. At that time, we came to this hotel with a car. Since the arrival time was evening, plus hotel's around the lighting is not very bright, we did not notice too much about the identity for parking, we just parked the car in front […] of the hotel. How could we know that just in front of is not theres parking.!!! However the strange thing is, at that time when we checked in, the reception knew that we were coming by car, and the door man from the hotel even helped us moved the luggages from the car, but NO ONE from the hotel told us that this is not the hotel parking place, we should not park the car here! This leads to the day after, our car was towed away. When we came back to the hotel after one day out in the town, we couldn't find the car in that parking place, our car was gone! When we negotiated with hotel, they insisted that they did not know we have a car, we should ask them about parking issues when we checked in, they saw it or not doesn't matter. This is the service of this hotel, we are really impressed!!! They are so irresponsible to treat their guests, we are also very disappointed and indignant!!! To such a service and attitude, we do not recommend this hotel to anyone! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fine hotel, good pool area."
We reserved the hotel purely because it had a pool and the rooms didn't cost that much. The pool area was satisfactory, clean and they provide you with towels for free. Took awhile to get the room, had waited from 11am for a room with a double bed, which the receptionist promised us. We checked with him 3 times, until at 16 o'clock, a different receptionist […] told us our room was ready. It was a room with two single beds. Took some time and discussion, but we got a room with a double bed. The room was okay, clean. The flatscreen TV got mainly portogese and spanish channels, but there was also BBC News and CNN.

"Hôtel VIP Zurich à Lisbonne"
Hôtel très propre, et très confortable. Piscine un peu déserte et tristounette, mais une vraie piscine quand même. Dommage qu'il faille téléphoner a la réception a chaque fois que l'on veut des serviettes. Nous n'avons pas pris le petit déjeuner a l'hôtel, mais a la cafétéria qui fait partie de l'hôtel (derrière le bâtiment). Tarif beaucoup plus avantageux […] qu'au restaurant de l'hôtel. On peut également y déjeuner pour pas cher .(Fermé le week-end) L'hôtel se trouve pas loin de l'aéroport, donc les avions passent tout prés, mais ça ne déranges que au bord de la piscine, parce-que dans les chambres, on entend presque pas. Idem pour les trains qui passent tout prés. Le personnel est très agréable et il y en a toujours un pour vous renseigner en Français. Le métro et le bus sont a 100m a peu prés de l'hôtel. Le wi-fi est gratuit dans les chambres, il faut juste demander vos codes personnels a l'accueil. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Worn out hotel"
10/29/13 JeLundgren Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
VIP Executive Zurique Hotel is cheap and the standard is below average. The pictures on Booking.com and other booking engines are not matching the real product, so although we knew what we had booked (3 stars), we got disappointed. The rooms a extremely old, reminded us of the 60s, the room had carpet despite looking like hardwood floor on the photos. It smelled of smoke although it was a non smoking room. The beds were absolutely horrible and we did not get much sleep. Only reason for choosing this hotel was because we needed to go to the airport early the next morning. We stayed only 1 night and will definitely never stay again. Stayed in June 2012

10/02/13 Filipagois
We stay here for 4 nights with breakfast. The room was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was good as well good selection of pastries, cereals, fruits and everything fresh. The hotel was located a 2 minute walk from the shopping centre Campo Pequeno and the metro station. For the price you are paying you can not except much more. Internet connection wasn't great in the room and no connection on the bar as well. Overall our stay was pleasant.

"rude staff, inexistent internet"
09/16/13 IsadoraL2013 Sao Paulo, SP
Staff was really rude, not making any effort when we didnt understand their accent. Internet was awful, although it was offered as a service of the hotel. A really bad connection, needed to be renewed all the time. In the first time, conditioned air didnt work. When we asked to change the room, staff was rude and suspicious. Some rooms have a railway nearby, so the noise is continuous. They use a system to reservation (central R) which costed 1/5 of the total amount - without any explicit warning of this. Only if you travel by car is an option, because you surely will have a lot of other options more well located in Lisbon, full of nice hostels with twin rooms. We stayed one day and then moved to a "residential", and had a better experience, even considering the "residential" was old and really really simple.

"Reasonable hotel for a reasonable price"
08/28/13 snowshoehare Sheffield
I stayed at the VIP Zurique for a week while in Lisbon for a conference. The room was pretty standard for a hotel in this price range. Each room has a small safe (big enough for a laptop and other bits and pieces) and the hotel has wifi but it is very slow. The pool is refreshing but shallow (only 1.2 metres deep) and the fitness centre is a complete joke - most of the equipment is broken or incomplete. I did not use the bar or restaurant. My room was clean and tidy on arrival and well cleaned each day, but it is obvious that the hotel itself could do with a little love. Only one (out of three) electrical outlet worked, so charging laptop and phone was more complicated than it should be, and the airconditioning did little other than make a rattling sound. Subsequently I had to leave the window open and with Lisbons airport nearby, it was very noisy from 5.02am when the first flight lands each day. The location of the hotel is pretty good - only a blocks walk from the nearest metro station at Campo Pequeno - about half way between the airport and the city centre. As other reviewers have noted, the staff weren't overly friendly, but whenever I asked anything of them they were helpful and replied/acted immediately. I'm undecided as to whether I would stay there again. I would certainly consider it though

"Good quality hotel overall, but some staff unhelpful"
07/24/13 JadeC182 Dublin, Ireland
The hotel is near to central bus-stops and a few little shopping centres, not to mention the Bull Ring with restaurants. The swimming pool and rooms are clean and functional. I found that the day-time staff on reception and in the bar (the same three males each time) were rather rude and unhelpful. Although they spoke English, polite questions from us often got a blunt "No" response and a rude stare. I tried to borrow a biro pen from reception to write directions on my map and was told by the reluctant-and-suspicious looking receptionist that I could have it for "only a second because I [the receptionist] need it" (surely a receptionist should have a litany of pens at his disposal?). Myself and my partner felt like we were being viewed as potential trouble-makers the entire time we stayed there and this added some anxiety to what was supposed to be our holiday from work. While the holiday itself met expectations (the cleaners were exceptional at their job and very polite, the swimming pool and rooms were good for the price we paid), I felt those three members of staff brought down the overall experience. Perhaps re-training these gentlemen in customer service would do the hotel justice.

The hotel is well located with easy access to transports and campo pequeno train station. Campo pequeno has got a small shopping mall and of course the coliseum for the traditional bull race. Recomend to couples and if you want to have easy access to transports, quiet and relaxed evenings... Swimming pool is opened to all guests and there is no extra fee. Ah, bar is rather expensive so do ask for the prices before ordering anything.

"Executive it is not, but value for money certainly"

Convenient half way between the airport and the old town and waterfront. It is all a matter of 'you get what you pay for.' Although the hotel had very friendly staff, facilities were adequate for only a short stay rather than as a holiday centre. It reminded me of the Soviet style hotels built in Eastern Europe just before the end of Communism - functional but with oppressive dark wood veneer paneling in all the corridors, sound proofing not that good, breakfast and buffet dinner could be better. Having said that, for a couple of nights or as a transit hotel from airport to other parts of Portugal it is fine. Would I go there again? As an overnight stop from or to the airport possibly - but certainly not for longer stays.

"Nothing special"

I stayed here for a week for work. The hotel is centrally situated both to the airport, city center, railway and metro. But the rooms are old fashioned, the breakfast Ok, but nothing more. You get what you pay for, but thats it. I would pay a bit more for some comfort. Ask for a room in the 10th floor that is away from the railwaystation, it will be calmest there.

"Close to the airport keeps up with 4 star properties"

Hotel has a swimming pool, a small shop (my saviour as I forgot my cufflinks), free internet with decent speed and I got upgraded to a suite with my own balcony. Rooms are used but correct and they even provide you with a dressing gown and bath-slippers, quite unusual for a 3 star property. I did not get a room in a 4 star property nearby with my colleagues but have to say that I was pleased about this. A problem with the sink was fixed while I was out. All in all, very good value for money.
