"Bellissimo"Recensito da un utente di Hotels.com in data 4 nov 2010
Hotel quasi di lusso. Le stanze sono grandissime come il letto. La televisione a schermo piatto mostra i canali via cavo. C'è la possibilità anche di acquistare i film con la carta direttamente dalla camera. Bel parcheggio. Forse unico neo è il rumore del climatizzatore/riscaldamento e l'impossibilità di far areare la stanza. Di notte va spento altrimenti è impossibile dormire.
"Hotel Bellissimo Grande"Inviato da Chiara G di "Piacenza, Italy" il 23 lug 2010
Ottimo albergo a prezzi ragionevoli, dotato di piscina ad uso gratuito e con colazione continentale inclusa nel prezzo. Camere grandi e relax garantito.

The only good thing about this place was the moment I walked out of the hotel and drove away. If it let me, I would give this place all zeros. The gentleman (general manager) who checked us in was friendly, other than that the women overnight and at check out were rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional. We were blatantly called liars because apparently […] we snuck people in through the back door, (which was non-existent) when clearly we walked right past the front desk through the front door. Also, we were rudely called at 7am and was forced to go to the front desk. The lady at the desk was trying to force us to check out because "someone else is coming to check into the room" when check out is at 11am and people aren't even allowed to check in before 4pm. Everyone save your money and the headache and go to a different hotel, I am sure there are many different hotels in the area with much pleasurable staff and cleaner and updated rooms.

"not what they promised"
Was upset that I was told we could do early check in and then when we arrived was told no they didn't have a room ready. After a little discussion all of a sudden they had a room ready for us. Was disappointed in the room for the price we paid it was run down with wall paper falling off the wall and a huge leak in the ceiling from the room above us […] .

the room was big and u pretty much get what you are paying for..it wasnt the worst but wasnt the best either...channel selection was pretty bad..location wasnt bad for where we were goingRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
I was impressed. I expected the worst from reading reviews after I already booked the room. When my son and I got there we had a very pleasant stay the room was big and very clean. It had a microwave and refrigerator which was very convenient.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Great Casino alternative"
As college students we just wanted a cheap way to spend a night at the Casino. The rooms were much bigger than expected at a very low cost. Would stay againRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Nice Hotel needs small improvements"
We chose this hotel because of the price, location and kitchenette. Traveling with a toddler I needed to be able to bring him food and keep it cold. They let us check in early for his nap which was wonderful! There was some peeling wallpaper and the shower rod curtain rod needed to be repaired. Only a couple of the windows opened, they have those cranks […] that you have to turn and the other two were broken. Overall our stay was great and with a few small room improvements the hotel could get another star. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. We had the unfortunate luck of staying here this past Labor Day weekend. I have never encountered such rude staff in my life. The hotel was dirty, wallpaper falling off the walls, and the sheets were so stained we chose to lay down our towels and sleep on top of the bed.

"The whole place smelled like an ashtray."
Fortunately we only had to stay 1 night. The clean clothes in my suitcase smelled like as dirty ashtray when I opened it. The place is a disaster. They had food set up in the lobby of some sort but I wouldn't think of eating any of it!Recensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia
"needs a lot of serious maintence"
Checked in the first night. Room was clean, no silverware, one small plate,and a hole in wall near door where someone punched it. Told the desk person they said they knew the hole was there. Went out next day shopping and sightseeing. When we came back, room was never touched, no clean towels, nothing cleaned. Went to see desk clerk, while i was there […] i saw they had wirlpool suites, i asked if i could just move. I paid extra for suite, after we were moved in we were going to run a tub and relax in wirlpool. suprise no cold water in bath room. Told desk clerk, I was they could have someone look at it in morning. By morning Water cooled down enough so to add a little more hot water and my wife got a bath.

"Converting to an Econolodge...good value"
Only stayed one night...had a bit of trouble finding the hotel due to the name change (signs now say Econolodge). Hotel decor is a bit tired, but I'm sure that the new owner will refresh things a bit. No issues with our stay..friendly desk staff.Recensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia
"Good size room."
The property and hotel looked as if it was abandoned. When we entered there was that smell that others have talked about as well as no AC on. But!! With all that a side the room itself was fairly large. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the AC worked well in our room. Also, we got to the free breakfast as it started at 6 am, and it wasn't bad […] for free. Over all this is nothing close to updated, modern, or remotely close. A good value if you do not mind outward appearances as being old and run down and rooms not modern. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

Hotel rooms are too outdated, need to be remodeled badly. At least the room size is big. Breakfast is barely just two kinds of cereal, coffee and orange juice, not much to choose from.Recensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

"Out of the way, old, run down..."
This place is great if you need a cheap stay near Mystic and casinos...just expect to drive a bit. Don't expect luxury, they don't even have an ironing board you can borrow, just an iron. The wallpaper is peeling, place needs a MAJOR facelift. We stayed in a nice big place, like a small apartment - kitchenette, fridge, etc... One AC in the whole place […] that is LOUD!!! Enjoy... :) Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Far too remote"
Would never return. The hotel needs upgrades. the carpeting was dirty and ripped. The walls in our room had huge holes in the drywall with no attempts at repair. The breakfast was very meager in comparison to others. No one explained where the milk and other things were so i saw young children eating their cereal cold and without any milk. Overall, […] I wiashed we had left. Finally, the hotel is still using old signage so we passed it by several times before stopping. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"would not recomend this hotel"
Room was very outdated, old nasty furniture, the carpet stunk, wall paper was coming off the walls. All of there rooms are suites but there is no A/C in the living area, only the bedroom. There are two TV's but only one remote! Overpriced, don't stay here!Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"never again"
This is labled as soujourner on this site but it is really an econo lodge. I had trouble finding it because of this. There was gum left on the headboard there were not kitchen utensils as it advertised and we were only given enough towels for one person when the room was for two people and we were told we couldn't have any more.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"never stay there again!"
the tv in the bedroom did not work. the Heater was LOUD, LOUD, LOUD so sleep was scarce. our door did not close without us having to deliberately close it. we had to CONTINUALLY request items, such as towels, sheets, blankets, as there were not enough supplied for the 4 people in the room. The freezer was leaking all down the back of the inside of the […] fridge. the 'suite' is really not a suite at all... granted there is plenty of room, but the stove top is virtually unusable, and there was not microwave provided as originally told when I made my reservation. Would NEVER go back here. I paid $149 (before taxes) and that was an OVERPAYMENT of about $100. Very disappointing stay. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Never again!"
This was easily the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel that i have booked through Expedia. It started with the booking actually being cancelled even after I had a confirmation to asking for a couple of extra towels and being told if i needed them to come down and get them. Once they finally decided to honor the booking confirmation they tried […] to charge me $10 buck extra per child that I had originally put in during the booking process. Then they overcharged me for the room which I had to have them credit and re-bill for the right price. The Hotel was run down and looked like it had not been updated since the 70's. The elevator and hallway smelled indescribably bad. The mini refrigerator was filled with rust and grime.

One room was okay. The other (Room 117) was terrible. The bathroom was tiny, and the sink did not empty- had to remove the stopper. The tub would not empty.

A couple of crits. On the plant, i see straight lines - usually organic shapes don't have those. Also, you might you might want to watch your line weight a little when working with pen - play around with thickness to get more dynamic lighting even without value. Keep it up!

Mas (la grillade)
Online Reservations
What a great find! Our dinner was perfect. From the warm greeting and comfortable table to the attentive service and outstanding food. The server was most accommodating and, upon mentioning my food allergies and issues, he made sure my every need was accommodated. The dinner was delicious, and, at the end we were surprised with a lovely comlimentary plate of sweets- including a gluten free one especially for me. We will definitely go back!
Mas La Grillade has exceptional food, with some unexpected ingredient mixes, all of which work. The service is friendly and fine, without being intrusive, and the atmosphere charming. The tables are a bit close together, but that's the rule in small restaurants. Highly recommended.
loved the ambiance, food and wine. I was dining alone. The service was very gracious. I had the scallops which were excellent. There was a good selection of wines by the glass. My server was very gracious and helped me choose the wine. The atmosphere was lovely. I have eaten at Mas Farmhouse many times and enjoy it very much. The grillade is less formal but service is equally friendly, helpful, and attentive. I will definitely go back!
I went there with a friend for lunch during restaurant week. The amciance was nice and the food was fantastic. We had a Gazpacho and a special kind of lamb patties (I don't remember the exact name of the dish). Both dishes were truly outstanding. The service was at all times very good, polite and friendly. I'd definitely consider going there for another lunch or dinner.
Great food just wondering where the reataurant week menu was and why the regular menu was displayed.
Recommend upstairs seating (there's a skylight). Great food
What a wonderful restaurant. The food is outstanding and the service was relaxed and attentive. I read some reviews that did not like the ambiance or the so-called micro-portions.We must have been in a different restaurant because we enjoyed the ambiance and did not find the portions to be too small. In fact, we could not come close to finishing the second entree in our four-course meal. The food was excellent. Everything cooked on open fire - - both the gazpacho and corn soup terrific; pork loin, squash blossoms, and chicken outstanding. And we loved the desserts . Yes, it's expensive but if you want a special meal, this is the place to go,
Went for lunch. Despite the brevity of the menu, I struggled to narrow down my choices. There were simply too many things I wanted to eat. Corn chowder with hen of the woods mushrooms (which were given the signature wood fired grill treatment) was outstanding. As were the scallops with pistachio pesto and the pork confit. Desserts looked great, but alas, no room (it was lunch after all...). Will definitely come back soon for dinner.
After years of walking past this 7th Ave location, I finally stopped in for a meal, and it was extraordinary. The hostess Sara was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Her wine recommendation was a spot on pairing for the incredibly delicious grilled scallops enjoyed by the entire table. The smoked tomato gazpacho was outrageously tantillizing as was the grilled romaine appetizer. The cheesecake brulee and the dark muskovy ice cream won serious dessert points. Foodies should also visit the sparkling kitchen to see the grills for extra kicks.
The four-course dinner was delicious, especially the corn soup!
This is a great restaurant and shows off the talent of the chef and quality of the servers. Just like Mas Farmhouse, we really enjoyed our dining experience. We both had the 4 course tasting menu, and I also had the optional wine pairing. The wine pairing was dead on. All the wines were fully complimentary to the dishes I had and what they they aspired to be. You can pretty much substitute anything for any course, but I had the recommended menu. The quality and freshness of the food is excellent. My only complaint is that some of the dishes could've been bolder. I was expecting more licorice notes in the corn soup (perhaps thai basil i/o tarragon), more smokiness infused in the chicken dish, and more citrus notes on the sea bass.
We've been many times to this place's sister restaurant, Mas (Farmhouse), and wanted to try Mas (La Grillade). We weren't disappointed. The menu is similar (exquisitely prepared small plates served as multiple courses, using fresh ingredients, with an emphasis on their woodfired grill), the service here too is exceptional without being snooty, and it's clear the staff love the restaurant are proud of it. I had a superb cocktail. The atmosphere here is slightly less intimate than at Mas (Farmhouse) -- the room is brighter and a bit more spacious. We spent about $350, including drinks, on a very nice, leisurely dinner for two. I would happily return here for a special occasion.
Second time there, as good as the first. Which is saying a lot, as everything I've had so far has been truly spectacular, with service to match. I'd be hard pressed to come up with anything even remotely negative to say about this place, aside from it's too expensive to eat there as often as I'd like to.
Very nice restaurant - food was delicious. They offer two tasting menus and several a la carte suggestions, but they are totally reasonable about switching courses, so it was a pleasure. The staff was friendly and helpful, and overall I would not hesitate to recommend this place. Menu changes according to what is fresh and local.
Mas Farmhouse is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC and just tried Mas La Grillade. I was blown away. Fantastic waitress. Great wine. Lovely decor and ambiance. Beautiful plating. And the food....everything was spectacular. I had grilled oysters, grilled romaine salad, corn & mushroom soup, scallops and a grilled fig dessert over honey ice cream with a pecan sauce. I loved how flexible the menu was - they let you swap out any dish on the tasting menu for any other dish they serve. Plus, we had to be out within an hour and a half to catch a show, and the waitress and kitchen managed to get us all 5 courses in that time, coordinated perfectly. La Grillade is definitely now in my list of favorites as well.
The meal,the service, the ambiance -- all perfection. Yet. We did not have to fightcrowds to have this superb experience. The four course meal was sublime and the wine pairings were perfectly selected. We will definitely be back!
It may not be totally high minded, but the fact that you can create your own 4 course tasting menu was the best fun of all. Four delicious courses, not too much of any one thing, and you can exchange any one of them for a combination you might prefer. Also, try the elderberry martini. One of the most refreshing drinks I've had in a long time.
The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Very friendly hosts accommodated our wishes and made us feel right at home. Excellent night out with our friends. Will go back.
The pick your own tasting menu was ideal as we were able to try so many items. We dined with a vegetarian, pescatarian and meat lover and all enjoyed. Wasn't bustling and energetic, but definitely a true food experience. Tasting menu is the way to go for sure!
This is one of our favorite places and worth the trip downtown. the food is great, the wait staff is young and enthusiastic. The choices are just diverse enough to make sure everyone is happy. Lovely find.
Will be a nyc classic! Phenomenal service, locally sourced ingredients and a flexible chef who allows diners to pick and choose from the menu and customize a meal. Want 4 or 7 courses, fine! Want 2 entrees and can' t decide, well that's no problem either, you can have one as an appetizer. Can't wait to go back. Delectable and fresh, elegant and friendly. Try it.
absolutely delicious food and fantastic service. the waitress invited us to create our own tasting menu, saying that the kitchen is very flexible and would be happy to do any substitutions or special requests.. honestly i can't remember ever hearing that in a nyc restaurant in my life! normally it is like pulling teeth to try to swap things on a tasting menu. the duck breast was the best i've ever had. we even asked to see the kitchen/stoves and they happily complied.. we met the chef and told him how much we loved our meal. this was a date night for us.. left our baby at home with a sitter.. and was the best we've had in a long time. only negative is the pricey wine list but we will definitely go back.
Mas has always been a solid lunch spot for work. Now it's upped it's game on the dinner side to rival it's sister shop, Farmhouse. Well done.
Outstanding seasonal cuisine. Casual yet Elegant Environment. Amazing wine list.
We had a wonderful experience here. The service and food were fantastic. We all agreed that our server was spot-on; incredibly knowledgable, efficient, friendly, accommodating. The food was beautiful, complimented wonderfully by the recommended wine. Would look forward to returning for another special occasion!
What a lovely experience. I'm still dreaming about the squid and tilefish I chose from their mix and match menu. It's nice to be able to just choose whatever sounds good to you off the various tasting menus.
We finally found a village restaurant that hit all our marks- amazing food, spectacular service, intimate space, and not impossible to get a reservation. Our new "go-to" restaurant.
Our second time at Mas was a magical as our first, which was just 2 weeks earlier. We were welcomed back and once again had the best seat in the house, a cozy comfortable booth. All of the staff are personable, knowledgeable and seem to actually enjoy their jobs helping people enjoy delicious food. We were happy to see a few new additions to the menu but the items we wanted were also still there. Because I had called early to request champagne to celebrate our anniversary our glasses were topped off repeatedly. Everything the staff do at Mas illuminates why this restaurant is an example of what a dining experience can and should be. Definitely on our top 3 list.
The food was original and delicious -- and their flexibility in letting you mix and match tasting menus was inspired!
Presented with two tasting menus,- one for four courses, one for seven, and then also a separate a la carte menu with a few choices. The waitress made a big point of how "nice" they are to "accommodate" our tastes, should we wish to choose a dish from each menu to mix and match. Still, the food was very good, with a lovely presentation. Only complaint was the service was extremely slow( and this was a Wednesday!) and we had to ask several times to order, get more drinks, bread, water etc. For the price charged, expected better. The noise level downstairs at least rivals a very loud party, and coupled with the rumble of the subway under your feet- may leave you yelling across the table.Expensive dinner, good food, but can do better.
Wonderful food. Excellent service. Great wines. I love the flexibility of the menu, the wonderful preparations, and the great wines. I especially like that they will pair wine by the glass with each course. It is a wonderful place to dine with friends or alone. Service is always attentive and gracious.
Both food and service were outstanding. What a bargain for lunch, they have a prix fix that is a bargain...
Outstanding concept - almost everything is fire grilled. Super-fresh food.
Food was amazing... everything that the two of us has was perfect. Very expensive, so I'd save it for a special occasion
A very nice overall experience. Everyone from the hostess to the bus people and everyone in between could not have been more helpful or attentive. The food lived up to its billing as being wood grilled and rustic.
This is a special place with wonderful service + lovely farm to table offerings
We couldn't get into the Mas farmhouse, so we did la grillade instead. The pretentiousness of the prix fixe menu is avoided by allowing any substitutions between the 4 and 7 course menus, or the ala carte version. Amuse-bouche began with a duck rillette and a glass of champagne. We chose the 4-course prix fixe with wine tasting. We started with the mushroom & camembert soup, and the smoked trout salad. The soup was delicate, but it was missing something. Smoked salt or a hint of truffle oil would have finished it off. The trout salad was the best thing on the menu. Next was the striped sea bass with bokchoy. Nice, but not life changing. Next was chicken and duck - the duck was 5 star, the chicken had room for improvement.
We had a fantastic dinner at Mas Grillade. The service was excellent and the food perfect. Especially nice that you can create your own food experience with either set courses or a la carte and substitute any dish they are serving in your design. Flexible and fabulous. We will return !
We had an early dinner and the place was almost empty when we arrived - this made me nervous. But half way through our meal the place stared to fill up - but never got too noisy. We had the 4 course tasting menu and made a few adjustments, which the sever encouraged us to do if we saw something else on the menu that looked more interesting than the chef's choices. All the food was wonderful and the portion sizes were perfect - enough to really sink your teeth into, but not so much that we walked away stuffed. With all the wonderful places to eat in the city, I'm not sure I would rush back, but will definitely be back at some point!
This is a lovely place. They let us sit for two hours on a Sunday without bothering us. They were also flexible about altering entrees. Having said that, the portions were small.
So delicious. So lucky to have found this place. Flexible menu options and so accomodating.
The food was high quality and differentiated from other good NYC restaurants. The mix of flavors is unusual but successful. We particularly appreciated the attitude of the servers and kitchen. After explaining the menu (two tasting menus and some a la carte options), the waiter noted that they would be happy to prepare any dish from of the tasting menus as an a la carte selection. He also indictated that they would adjust ingredients on any dish to accomodate my wife's food alergies. It was a clear message that the restaurant cares more about the customers' experience than possibly inconveniencing the kitchen. We will be back.
We had a lovely brunch. Unfortunately there was only one other occupied table while we were there. The food was really good. My guess is that they probably won't be serving weekend brunch much longer. Hopefully they will be able to stay in business!
I dined at Mas Farmhouse earlier this year and loved the food, attentive but relaxed service. I also really appreciated the way they allow you to select any item on the menu for the four course meal. I wanted to go again but they were booked until late at night. While doing further searches on Open Table I found Mas Grille. Food is just as good as the Farmhouse. Overall a more open feel than the Farmhouse which was a little cramped for me. The sommelier was friendly and because I love wine she poured a pair of lovely French dessert red wines which were delicious. For me, this sibling of Farmhouse is just as great but less crowded and easier to obtain a last minute reservation. Definitely recommend it.
Have eaten here many times and never been disappointed. Food is innovative and excellent and highly recommend the wine pairings. service is flawless. I often will dine here alone and am always made to feel very comfortable. This evening I had the chanterelle mushroom soup to start, which was incredibly wonderful, followed by the chicken, also excellent.
The tasting menu allows you to sub in any course you want from the full chef's menu or the a la carte and even the full dessert menu. The wine pairings were very nicely joined and for the price, this is the best deal for sure. Great presentation, impeccable service. The menu changes each day but our favorite hands down was the squash soup with mushrooms and toasted pumpkin seeds. To die for!!!!!!
Sadly that's not possible but while its still possible to get a reservation go and enjoy! From the moment you walk in the door you know you are in the right place. We happily and deliciously celebrated a birthday but we'll be coming back as often as we can, Every bite was yummy, the wine list interesting and affordable, but it's the service that exceeds even the highest of expectations !
Mas la Grillade is a spot we always visit when friends are in town. It's a great triumvirate of good food, nice venue and terrific staff. The team are a nice balance of welcoming and friendly but not over-familiar - a great combo. Knowledgable about their menus and wine lists, they're able to offer detailed descriptions and explanations as required. The option to order, a la carte, from the tasting menus is a super idea and has made me warm to this restaurant much more so than their restrictive and less-flexible competitors in the neighbourhood. The food is delicious, beautifully presented and comes in well-judged portions; not too big, certainly not too small, just right. For what you get, the prices are certainly reasonable, too.
MAS - in both locations - are among my favorite restaurants. The food is sublime but the approach to food and the concern expressed for each diner's experience is unique. Add to that outstanding service and you have MAS.
This place is great! It's small and cozy. The service was top notch and quite impressive. My wife and I found the food to be so tasty. Mas definitely ranks among the best restaurants I have been to in NYC. I will definitely be back.

Ole, I'm not going to get into a tit for tat with you. You have your opinions and seem to enjoy tearing apart what I have posted. A good way to piss someone off and send him from the forum. What you have written, particularly in rebuttal, can not always stand close scrutiny. Many volumes have tried to cover what we are discussing in a few short paragraphs. While I think you and I are in general agreement with the basic premise, we differ in many opinions. Maybe the solution is not to post on any possible opinionated subjects. I think, particularly as it effected the rice and cotton culture in South Carolina, you need to re-evaluate the concepts of slave vs hired labor. Hired labor was tried with no success. I at no time alluded to working in the sun, where did you get this? Are you twisting this to try and show a possible racial bias on my part? I did point out that the slave labor was more suited for working in the Lowcountry due to his inherited trait in many of an immunity to malaria. Conviction is not fact; Insistence is not proof; Opinion is not evidence. I thought it was worth mentioning. A little condescending? |

No offense intended, Walker. As you said, we're talking opinion and interpretation, both of which can be changed. Don't know as we'll ever see any real facts on what we're talking about.I'm unfamiliar with when hired labor was tried with no success; perhaps you can help me with this? Working in the sun and a genetic resistance to semitropical diseases are both part of the same myth that the black man must be used because he is better suited to the conditions. No. I'm not implying a racial bias -- just probing the long-accepted idea that black labor was necessary because it was genetically more capable of withstanding the conditions. It might be true, but I've never seen the idea challenged. It's something that is said, accepted and passed over. Finally, "condescending"? That wasn't the intention. I found the statement very pointed and wished only to share it. It applies to me as well as to you and everyone else. I draw a hard line between what is my opinion and what is a fact. Everything I say ought to be understood as my opinion, unless I come up with a number or a page in a book that shows it to be a fact. We're in an area where there are no facts. I'm here to have my opinions challenged and to challenge the opinions of others. This is a kitchen-table thread. Nevermind the stove; dinner is in there. ole |

For a pretty good discussion of the history of slavery and the use of Indian, black, and white labor the book, "Black Majority by Peter Wood, 1974" should fill in most of the cracks. He also details the history of the Rice Culture. For a discussion of tariffs, industrialization and the agricultural south; "The Economic Divide, Northern Industrialization in America. Rickard Klineman, 1978" For a history of rice in South Carolina; David Doar, History of Rice in South Carolina, I believe is the title. For a discussion of slave productivity try "Agricultural Productivity in the Lower South 1720-1800 Joshua Rosenbloom" Finally an interesting book that contrasts the non-slaveholding yeoman farmer to the slave holder is "The Free State of Jones" Byrnum I think I have her spelling correct. I can get you more if you want but I think most will back up my basic premise. |

Has anybody seen the latest issue of North & South (Vol. 10, No. 4)? There's a short study three-page study by Joanie's favorite historian, James McPherson, titled 'Central to the War' in which he discusses Civil War soldiers' motives for fighting and seems to fit into this thread as if he were contributing his own post. Near the end of the piece he writes: 'Whether or not they fought consciously to defend slavery, Confederate soldiers undeniably fought to defend a slave society from perceived or threatened destruction. The American Civil War would not have occurred without the existence of slavery.' Well, there you have it. Case settled. McPherson goes on to write: "That institution (slavery) was by far the most valuable form of property in the entire United States — let alone the slave states. The market value of the four million slaves in 1860 was close to $3 billion — more than the value of land, of cotton, or of anything else in the slave states, and more than the amount of capital invested in manufacturing and railroads combined in the whole United States. No wonder Jefferson Davis justified secession in 1861 as an act of self-defense against the incoming Lincoln administration, whose announced policy of excluding slavery from the territories would make "property in slaves so insecure as to be comparatively worthless...thereby annihilating in effect property worth thousands of millions of dollars." Sidebar: I greatly enjoy each issue of N&S, but McPherson's story had three glaring typos in it. Lincoln, for example, was spelled 'Lincooln.'Also, several letters in the mailbag also had a few typos, which is uncharacteristic of this magazine. Who's not using the spellchecker, I wonder. |

'Whether or not they fought consciously to defend slavery, Confederate soldiers undeniably fought to defend a slave society from perceived or threatened destruction. The American Civil War would not have occurred without the existence of slavery.' I can agree whole-heartedly with the first sentence. I mean, ding-dong, could anything be more obvious? It is the whole thing about "the poor man fighting the rich man's war" perhaps for separate, but merging, (and manipulated) purposes. As Ole pointed out to me earlier in this thread, that concept is just plain cliche. I still do not agree with the second sentence. Geez, has anyone noticed, that James Mcpherson seems kind of biased? I wonder, if he weren't writing about slavery, could he write about anything at all? Not that there is anything wrong with writing about slavery, to the contrary: "lest we forget..." But why is he saying he is CW historian, when he is a socialogist studying slavery? JoanieReb Last edited on Fri Dec 14th, 2007 09:56 pm by JoanieReb |

To quote a member of this board who shall remain anonymous, "Geez." Being a little harsh on the boy, no? "I wonder, if he weren't writing about slavery, could he write about anything at all? Hmm, let's see. 1. 'For Cause and Comrade: Why Men Fought in the Civil War' (1998) is a nice, insightful look at what caused men to continue fighting despite killing themselves in the hundreds of thousands. Think this book also won the Lincoln Prize. 2. 'Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam' (2004) examines why the Battle of Antietam was a pivotal moment in the Civil War as well as the nation's history. 3.'Drawn With the Sword: Reflections on the American Civil War' (1997) is a collection of essays looking at various issues about the war. The last chapter is a neat one entitled 'What's the Matter with History?' where he questions the direction in which modern narrative history is heading. 4. 'Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution' (1992) looks at Lincoln as commander in chief as well as communicator, the slew of new laws passed in his administration and the consequences of the war on the south. 5. 'This Mighty Scourge: Perspectives on the Civil War' (2007) is another collection of essays, including one of Lincoln's use of presidential war powers, which seems somehow timely. There's also a short chapter on Jesse James. 6. 'Battle Cry of Freedom' (1988). All you have to say here is Pulitzer Prize. Unless, of course, you want to start a movement to revoke it. Good luck. These are his books in my library and not one puts its entire focus on slavery. I guess he can handle more than just the slavery issue. Sociologist or historian? Splitting hairs. What does it matter as long as his body of work has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the war, or given us cause to look at the war with different perspectives? I've never heard him call himself a historian. He' been introduced as a historian, he taught history at Princeton, he won his Pulitzer for history, so I'll go with the flow on that one. 'Battle Cry of Freedom' is generally regarded as his seminal work that brought a scholarly look at the war to the masses in a way most other authors have not. One synonym for cliche is 'truism.' Another is 'maxim.' Sometimes a cliche, no matter how tired or trite, is all that is really needed to make a point anyway. |

Twenty one members of the Confederate Congress did not own any slaves, a fact which seems to have some relevance to this discussion. Dennis Conklin |

Thank you, Dennis, that is definitely a relevant and important fact, in my book. Whew! Pvt Clewell, I sure am glad you posted your last post here, and re-raised the bar to your ususal standards! I was concerned. I mean, that statement of Mc's: 'Whether or not they fought consciously to defend slavery, Confederate soldiers undeniably fought to defend a slave society from perceived or threatened destruction.' gets my award for "DUH!!!! Statement of 2007". Maybe he has just been quoting himself for so long that he has forgotten, in the immortal words of another icon, David St. Hubbins: "It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever." I was going to help you out by pointing out that one historian whom has my highest respect, Bruce Catton, also believes that there would have been no war without slavery. (He and I disagree, as well, . ) But you seem to have recovered and gone back to your sharp-minded and articulate, ways, so I will just focus on what you have said for now. "Scuse me, I have some chewing on your post to do now....(munch, munch, munch...) Joanie |

IMHO, the Southern states without slavery look pretty much like the Northern states west of the Appalachians. None of them were lining up to secede. In the absence of slavery, what are the compelling reasons for southern secession that do not also look good to Ohioans and Iowans? HankC |

Hank, Don't know quite what your comment means but for the sake of compleatness The slaveholdings of 24 members are unknown, more than 40 0wned 5 or less, while 122 possessed between 5 and 60 negroes. Only 7 members owned between 216 and 500 slaves. Dennis Conklin |

In other words, the south's population is 75% non-slaveholding but the Confederate Congress is at least 79% slave-holding, or more. Definitely a relevant and important fact... HankC |

Thats one way of looking at it, however I still find it intersting that 21 men with no financial interest in preserving slavery were willing to make the sacrifice of traveling to Richmond and maintaing themselves there for months in order to represent thier ststes in the Confederate Congress. At least for these 21 there must have been something other than slavery at stake. Dennis Conklin R |

While the main cause of the war was the slavery issue it was not the only reason many served in many different capacities. Patriotism for their country or state. Up until the war the central government was the weaker and the allegiance of most was to their state, not the country. In the North many signed up were immigrants because for the first time in their life they finally saw the hope promised by this nation and were willing to fight for it. Many politicians were driver as they are today for power. There were many reasons for serving. One mistake many of us make is equating the slavery issue, as the cause of the war, to the reason the individual served his country, when in fact the reasons could be totally divergent. |

At least for these 21 there must have been something other than slavery at stake. Perhaps. Maybe the families of a few were planters. Maybe the close friends of a few were slaveowners. Maybe, like many of the non-slaveowners, they simply wanted to keep the slave in his place. Maybe some of them feared slave rebellions. Maybe they were from border states and had long since sold their slaves down river. Hank's point is pertinent: Include the 24 whose ownership is unknown and there are 45, of 214 in Congress. That's a skosh over 21 percent nonowners and almost 79 percent owners. On the surface, it would appear that the non-slaveowners were seriously underrepresented. Obviously, those with time to represent their constituencies would tend to be the wealthier class; i.e., slaveowners. Maybe we can assume that the secession conventions might have a similar ratio? Just a thought. ole |

One mistake many of us make is equating the slavery issue, as the cause of the war, to the reason the individual served his country, when in fact the reasons could be totally divergent. I don't recollect anyone declaring that Johnny fought for slavery or that Billy fought to free the slaves. According to -- close your eyes, Joanie -- McPherson's For Cause and Comrades, and -- you can open them now -- Chandra Manning, more than a few did. When western Billy, who had likely never seen a black (free or slave) got into slave territory, he soon realized that the peculiar institution had to go: winning the war and leaving slavery intact would lead only to another war. He evinced this idea many months before Lincoln acted on that feeling. Johnny, of course, didn't own a single slave, so he couldn't have been fighting for slavery. Channing and McPherson (don't tell Joanie) take it a bit further. Possibly most fought for the adventure, the pay, an obligation to friends and family -- maybe even a few to protect their home; but a good many did join to keep alive the idea that one day they would be wealthy enough to own a slave, or simply because they feared having free blacks loose among them. -- the old and more modern argument that the black man wants nothing so much as he wants to marry your wives and daughters. But Johnny knew, even before Billy did, that the war was about preserving slavery. He might not have liked that, but now he was in and couldn't very well walk out. |

But Johnny knew, even before Billy did, that the war was about preserving slavery. He might not have liked that, but now he was in and couldn't very well walk out. Yes, the war undeniably became about slavery. Duh, Emancipation Proclamation following the politically decisive-enough victory at Sharps-tietum, where the North didn't actually lose (because, even if Lee had personally delivered his battle-plan to McClellan, LIttle Mac would not have used it to decisive advantage, such a gentleman was Little Mac! - but that's another thread.) So it became about slavery. I'm Still Not Convinced that it wouldn't have occurred.... BTW Ole, I'm glad you have found an author to back up McPherson, although I'll have to take a lookie-see for myself. Allt this McPherson quoting just isn't going anywhere with me. ! You know, you can actually go to any one of the Icons (Catton, Foote, and McPherson, in alphabetical order) in order to back up your arguments, just not so rabidly, and with greater total insight. And, I can argue with all three of 'em when called on to do so. In fact, I believe Catton makes the argument for the statement that I quoted at the beginning of this post very nicely in his preface to a book of his essays that I can't find right now - get back with ya on that... Hmmmm....see there are five or six other posts above yours for me to take umbrage with, or some such thing.... |

Enon Tabernacle hosts chess festival Aug. 30
The Connected Pawns Chess Ministry of Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church will be hosting a chess festival August 30–31, 2013. The festivities begin Friday August 30 at Enon West 230 W Coulter St, where the Connected Pawns will have a rated and unrated chess tournament. Both events will have three sections of K-3, K-8, and K-12 competitors. The fun continues at Enon East 2800 W Cheltenham Ave. Saturday morning with a screening of the "Brooklyn Castle" documentary.
Following the movie NM Justus Williams will have a Q&A session and play a simultaneous exhibition. A simultaneous exhibition or simul is when one person plays a number of people in individual games at one time. The top three players from each section of the tournament will play NM Justus Williams in the simul!
Justus Williams is one of the featured students in the "Brooklyn Castle" documentary about the I.S. 318 Brooklyn Middle School chess team, which won the 2012 National High School (K-12) Championship. Justus has received numerous accolades and has represented the USA in tournaments in Brazil, Greece, and Montreal all by the age of 14. In 2010 he became one of the youngest chess players ever to earn the title of National Master and currently ranks in the top 99 percentile in the United States.
The Connected Pawns are part of the Enon Youth Athletics Association. Since it's inception, the Enon Youth Athletics Association has provided a Christ-centered ministry focusing on using athletics to reinforce Christ-like principles. The mission of the EYAA is to create an atmosphere for Christian growth and development through relevant athletic ministry activities for youth.
For more information and details on registering for the chess tournament at Enon log on to www.mastermindschess.org. Come out and enjoy the fun and festivities with the Connected Pawns at Enon.

Jenny Craig Review: Online Diet Program |
Rating: |
Second place in taste test; one-on-one support designed to establish a healthier overall lifestyle; adding your own fruit, vegetables and dairy is recommended | |
Jenny Craig differs from the other diet services reviewed on NextAdvisor.com by emphasizing personalized consultations and face-to-face support. While most other meal delivery diet programs focus primarily on the food itself, perhaps also offering various tools and resources to help you reach your diet goals, Jenny Craig places equal focus on food, body and mind.
How Does It Taste?
A critical element of any diet plan is how the food tastes, including how satiated you are. After all, if the food tastes unpleasant and you're always hungry it will be awfully hard to stay on track with your diet. Keeping this in mind, we actually ordered the food and had a panel of ten testers sample the meals. Food was rated on taste, and the numerical ratings were averaged for breakfast, lunch, dinner and overall categories. Jenny Craig was rated the second best tasting meal delivery plan. You can see the complete results at our meal delivery taste test, and also how Jenny Craig stacked up against other meal delivery plans we tasted. Jenny Craig In-Centre
Jenny Craig offers two different approaches to weight loss: Jenny Craig In-Centre or Jenny Craig At Home. If you choose Jenny Craig In-Centre, you will meet privately with a consultant at one of over 650 local Jenny Craig centers for a discussion of your current lifestyle and weight loss goals, as well as an initial weigh-in. Your consultant will work with you to customize the most effective plan to help you reach your goals. Each week, you will return to your local Jenny Craig center to meet with your consultant, who will help motivate you, overcome your challenges and track your progress. You will also pick up your Jenny Cuisine meals at these meetings. You'll purchase a one week supply of meals at a time, with no ongoing obligation. Jenny Craig At Home
If you prefer more privacy and convenience, you can choose the Jenny Craig At Home program and speak to your consultant over the phone. With the At Home option, you'll have weekly phone support from your consultant, and your Jenny's Cuisine meals will be shipped to you via FedEx every two or four weeks, depending on your preference. (Note: There is a shipping fee with the At Home program). Meals
In addition to the standard 1200-calorie woman's program, Jenny Craig has special programs for men, type 2 diabetics, teens and older adults. Initially, your diet will consist of three Jenny's Cuisine meals and one snack every day, plus your own groceries, such as fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy. You can customize your weekly menus based on your preferences. The meals are shelf stable, so you don't need to worry about refrigerating or freezing them, and they travel well for those on the move. Actual Diet Experience
In addition to our independent taste test, we also had an individual dieter follow the Jenny Craig at Home plan for a week at the time of our first taste test where Jenny Craig ranked number one. She thought the food was by far the best tasting of all the meal plans we reviewed. She also felt satiated on the meals, and wasn't hungry once she started following the plan correctly. Because we ordered the "at Home" plan, the food was received by mail. The food arrived packaged, but without much in the way of instruction, and due to scheduling issues she wasn't able to speak with her consultant until part way through the first week. As a result, she didn't know that she was supposed to add her own fresh fruit, dairy and vegetables to the plan and was a little hungry until this bump was ironed out. The take-away here is that you should really synch up with your consultant first thing. They will key you in on your meal plans and how the entire Jenny experience should work, helping you avoid our issue. Support
Jenny is known for their strong personal support, and our experience was no different. We participated in the Jenny at Home program, and our consultant had excellent follow-up. If we missed a weekly consult they reached out via the phone to reschedule. The consultants never rush you through a discussion, and are very pleasant to speak with. Whether you participate in an In-Centre or At Home plan, your consultant will help you learn to create your own menus and meals, and you will eventually begin to gradually integrate your own meals into your diet. Your consultant will also help you learn to make healthy choices at restaurants. In addition to your own consultant, you also have access to Jenny's eTools. eTools is an online format for journaling your thoughts, planning your meals and scheduling fitness activities. We found the fitness component to be a helpful way to record your daily activities, but perhaps not as robust as some other sites we've looked at. The meal planning section goes hand in hand with the meals you are shipped, and was a useful, if somewhat complicated tool. For this reason, you should take full advantage of your consultant, especially for the first couple of weeks. They can guide you around eTools and let you know how everything works. By the time you have reached your goal weight, you'll have developed a better relationship with food and learned to plan and prepare your own balanced meals. You can then transition to maintenance support, which will help you sustain your new, healthier lifestyle. You will still have access to online support to help keep you on track. Fitness
Jenny Craig consultants will work with you to develop a personalized, staged approach to physical fitness, consisting of a combination of natural, everyday activities, playful activities and planned exercise. Your physical fitness plan will intensify as you work toward your weight loss goals, in order to help you burn more calories. For those who like to track their activities online, Jenny's eTools include a fitness diary. The Activity Planner lets you enter the type and length of your daily exercise, and then it estimates the total calories you burned (based on a 160 pound person). It's a nice way to keep track of past, present and future fitness activities, but it would be helpful to have a more accurate measurement of the amount of calories you burn, instead of one based on a hypothetical 160 pound person. Plans and Pricing
Because Jenny Craig tailors each meal plan for the individual, there is no specific price list. However, the pricing generally ranges between $81 and $133 per week. At Home participants will need to pay an additional shipping fee. With Jenny Craig, you'll need to provide your own fruit, vegetables and dairy. Based on our purchases, we estimate the cost for these additional foods to be $45-$60 per week. However, as our cost was based on the "city" food prices that exist in San Francisco, your food cost may be significantly less. Bottom Line
If you are looking for a comprehensive support system to help you establish a healthier lifestyle overall, Jenny Craig may be perfect for you. The combination of top-rated, good tasting meals and strong support make Jenny Craig a solid choice. Compare to Other Meal Delivery Programs |
Lowest Cost: | $15/day (excludes cost of added food) shipping: around $14 |
Diet Types: | Low-carb-focused meal delivery diet; type 2 diabetic, teen, men, and senior options |
