O'Reilly denied well-documented Ohio voting problems
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
FOX News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that "there's no data at all" to support Senator John Kerry's claim that "thousands of people were suppressed in their effort to vote" in the 2004 presidential election. But The Washington Post reported that in Ohio alone, between 5,000 and 15,000 potential voters left without casting ballots.
On the January 18 edition of FOX News' The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly aired a clip of Kerry's January 17 speech to Boston's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Annual Memorial Breakfast. In his comments, Kerry noted: "Thousands of people were suppressed in their effort to vote. Voting machines were distributed in uneven ways. In Democratic districts, it took people four, five, 11 hours to vote, while Republicans sorted through in 10 minutes."
Following the clip, O'Reilly declared: "I don't know what he's talking about. I don't know one person who waited 11 hours to vote in this country." His guest, University of Pennsylvania assistant law professor Nathaniel Persily, noted that "there were reports of long lines, particularly in Ohio" and said of Kerry's allegations, "I think people are looking at this right now." But he added: "We certainly don't have any evidence of that yet." O'Reilly followed up: "There's no data at all, is there?"
In fact, The Washington Post found substantial data indicating that thousands of voters, particularly in Democratic counties, faced daunting lines at the polls, and that many were unable to vote. From the Post's December 15, 2004, article:
Electoral problems prevented many thousands of Ohioans from voting on Nov. 2. In Columbus, bipartisan estimates say that 5,000 to 15,000 frustrated voters turned away without casting ballots.
In Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo, and on college campuses, election officials allocated far too few voting machines to busy precincts, with the result that voters stood on line as long as 10 hours -- many leaving without voting. Some longtime voters discovered their registrations had been purged.
After the election, local political activists seeking a recount analyzed how Franklin County officials distributed voting machines. They found that 27 of the 30 wards with the most machines per registered voter showed majorities for Bush. At the other end of the spectrum, six of the seven wards with the fewest machines delivered large margins for Kerry. Voters in most Democratic wards experienced five-hour waits, and turnout was lower than expected.
In Knox County, some Kenyon College students waited 10 hours to vote.
O'Reilly concluded by calling Kerry dishonest and a "sore loser":
I don't like this. I don't think Kerry does himself any good saying this. I think he sounds like a sore loser. I think he's painting a picture that is not true, that Democrats had a harder time voting than Republicans. I do not believe that. I haven't seen any evidence of it.

|Scout State Rankings
Delaware |
District of Columbia
Maryland | New England
New Jersey | New York
Pennsylvania | Virginia
West Virginia | Rankings Directory
Thursday: Midwest State Rankings
For a few years, Kenny Bigelow has been one of the top players in the region. His status as a five-star was never in question, and inthe final rankings the five-star defensive tackle from Elkton (Md.) Eastern Christian Academy he is the top player in the Maryland Top 40. Bigelow, who is already enrolled at USC, is physical, strong, plays with a low pad level and is explosive.
Maryland coach Randy Edsall did a nice job in state, securing commitments from seven of the 40 players in the rankings, led by No.11 Shane Cockerille of The Gilman School in Baltimore.
Connnecticut had the most commitments of the 20 players from the New England Top 20, with receiver Noel Thomas of St. Lukes High (New Canaan,Conn.) being the highest rated of the six on the list.
Two of the top linemen in the region are in Massachusetts, and they are on both sides of the ball. Everett (Mass.) High four-star offensive guard John Montelus, a Notre Dame commit, is the top-rated player and is a road-grader type of blocker who locks onto a player and buries him. On the defensive side, Westwood (Mass.) Xaverian Brothers High four-star defensive tackle Maurice Hurst Jr., a Michigan commit, is No. 2 in New England. He is quick, plays with a strong base and is physical.
Wayne (N.J.) Hills quarterback Kevin Olsen missed much of the season with a leg injury, but the Miami commit finished the season as the No. 1 player in the New Jersey Top 40. He throws a tight spiral, has a strong arm and is the third member of his family to head to a Division I program.
Rutgers kept plenty of talent home by landing 10 players in the40 ranked in the state, led by Metuchen (N.J.) High offensive guard Dorian Miller at No. 9. The biggest jump came from Barringer High (Newark, N.J.)defensive end Kemoko Turay, who played his first season at the varsity level and showed incredible explosion and speed. He went from being unranked to No.14 in the state.
The New York Top 20 has the most intrigue as signing day approaches because of a number of uncommitted prospects. New Milford Academy (N.Y.) tight end Josh McNeil could be heading to a junior college but has spent plenty of time talking to Alabama and LSU, Tottenville High (Staten Island, N.Y.) running back Augustus Edwards is a "soft" verbal and Xaverian High (Brooklyn) running back Laray Smith remain uncommitted.
The top receiver and the top offensive lineman in the region come from western Pennsylvania, and both top the Pennsylvania Top 50. Monaca (Pa.) Central Valley High five-star receiver Robert Foster is heading to Alabama, and North Allegheny High (Wexford, Pa.) offensive guard Patrick Kugler is Michigan-bound.
Pittsburgh has a huge in-state haul with 14 commitments, led by Belle Vernon (Pa.) High four-star offensive tackle Dorian Johnson at No. 7.
Penn State did well with the top portion of the class, grabbing commitments from four of the top 13 players in the state, including already-enrolled Cedar Cliff High (Camp Hill, Pa.) five-star tight end Adam Breneman.
Four-star offensive tackle Derwin Gray, a Maryland commit, heads the District of Columbia Top 10, and is one of five players to make the list from Edison Friendship Collegiate.
Maryland has commitments from three of the 10 players, and could get a fourth since Gray's teammate, Yannick Ngakoue, is still considering the Terps.
Derrick Green is the top running back in the nation, and the top player in the final East 100, so it goes without saying the Hermitage High (Richmond, Va.) running back and Michigan commit is the top-rated player in the Virginia Top 50.
Of the 50 players ranked in the state, 12 are committed to Virginia Tech, led by Midlothian (Va.) Manchester High outside linebacker Holland Fisher at No. 4.
Virginia has seven commitments, with Bayside High (Virginia Beach, Va.) running back Taquan Mizzell is rated No.5 and the top Virginia commit on the list.
North Carolina commit Ryan Switzer, who was impressive at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl, is the top-rated player in the West Virginia Top 5. He is quick and explosive, and as a receiver is able to come out of breaks well.

Chris Christie to the Drug War: I Wish I Knew How to Quit You
The 43rd anniversary of President Richard Nixon's War on Drugs was a confusing time for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who has been on a subtle-but-consistent campaign to position himself as a leader, stationed on the front lines, of reforming drug policy in America.
In one breath, he gave credibility to one of the drug war's enduring myths, and in the next, he called it an "abject failure." And Christie's incoherence on the issue seems emblematic of the right-wing dilemma at hand: reforming drug policy is seemingly inevitable, and interwoven with prison reform--an issue conservatives are owning. But it's still too far out an idea to expect the whole party to fall in line.
On Tuesday, Christie paid a visit to a shelter in Trenton to unveil an initiative which will allow law enforcement across the state to carry naloxone, a drug capable of reversing the symptoms of a heroin or opiate overdose. The gov's announcement came after a pilot program launched in April proved a success, preventing over forty overdoses in Monmouth and Ocean counties, according to officials.
"We have the ability to prevent this type of tragedy and help save lives," Christie said, before riffing on the general "failure" of the War on Drugs. But less than 24 hours earlier, Christie delivered a message about the Garden State's collapsing medical marijuana program that could be interpreted as an endorsement of the War on Drugs.
On Monday evening, Christie appeared on his monthly radio program. Seated in front of the mic, headphones engulfing his head and reading glasses resting professorially on the tip of nose, he addressed criticism of his medical marijuana program, which is suffering from a debilitatingly low participation rate that some say is due to high costs and too much red tape.
"What there is a huge demand for is marijuana, not medical marijuana," Christie snapped, his arms folded defensively. "This program and all these other programs are, in my mind, a front for legalization—unless you have a strong governor and a strong administration that says, 'oh, medical marijuana? Absolutely, we're going to make it a medically-based program.'" His tone turned sarcastic and his eyebrows raised. "No demand there—very little."
Christie's relationship with the issue of drug policy reform dates back to his days as a member of the county Freeholder board (every county in the Garden State has such a board, which operate sort of like city councils) in leafy Morris in the mid-1990s. The future gov was assigned to oversee the Department of Human Services, which led him to an inpatient adolescent treatment facility, Daytop Village, located in Mendham, where he lived with his young family.
To anecdotally burnish his drug policy credentials, Christie often references the success story of Chris Hanlon, who, as a 16-year-old drug addict, was rehabilitated at Daytop. After graduating from high school, college, law school, and passing the bar, Christie hired him as a summer intern in the U.S. Attorney's office.
When Christie was honored by Daytop in 2013, Hanlon publicly thanked him. TheStar-Ledger reported, "Christie, who embraced Hanlon with tears in his eyes," said, "It was clear I wasn't the one doing him a favor. He was doing me one. This young man will show others what overcoming challenges is all about."
During his 2014 State of the State address, Christie trotted Hanlon out to the State House, bellowing that he was proof "that life is salvageable, if we reach out and give [addicts] the tools they need to help themselves…I believe we can do more to help give people a second chance."
But Christie's actual history with drug policy is a less sunny tale.
On his final day in office, departing Democratic Governor Jon Corzine signed New Jersey's medical marijuana bill (The Compassionate Care Act) into law. The move, qualifying those with certain debilitating conditions to apply for a medical marijuana license, was cut up by Christie, who said the bill "passed with no type of allowances for that type of safety and security," and was "dumped in our laps at 3 o'clock in the morning."
To safeguard his constituents from the half-baked legislation, Christie drew up a dispensary-approval process so strict that three years later, only one had overcome the economic and legal hurdles necessary to open. Today, there are just five. And with only 296 of New Jersey's 21,000 licensed physicians able to write prescriptions, the meager 2,500 patients that make up the market have left it on the verge of collapse.
Just last week, the CEO of the only medical-marijuana dispensary in South Jersey, Bill Thomas, quit, claiming that three years of work in the failing industry felt like charity. The Compassionate Care Foundation, which Thomas opened in October 2013, is currently serving only 600 patients—less than half of the 2,000 it needed to just break even.
According to Thomas, the issue is not the lack of demand for medical marijuana, but the lack of doctors with the power to prescribe it to their patients. "Is there really no demand, or is it so hard to get access that it is easier to buy it from the high school kid down the street?" Thomas asked the Star-Ledger.
Christie administration officials themselves reportedly modeled the program after New Mexico's--but one key difference is that in New Mexico, the names of doctors are not disclosed on the program's website as they are in New Jersey. Democratic Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (who Christie once famously referred to as "numb nuts") claims the public listing of the doctor's names deters some from becoming involved with the program.

Chiquita is blocking a 9/11 victims' bill
Washington makes for strange alliances—and even stranger enemies. But this could wind up being the oddest confrontation of all. Chiquita, the world's largest banana producer, is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to block a 9/11 victims' bill, The Daily Beast has learned. And outraged supporters of the legislation accuse a senior lawmaker, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, of working with the fruit kings to stand in their way.
According to Congressional lobbying disclosures, Chiquita has spent some $780,000 over the past year and a half lobbying against the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), a bill conceived of and supported by a group of 9/11 victims and families to aid their claims against actors who supported the terrorist attacks.
The result is a stalled piece of terrorism legislation that shows the dizzying influence of a deeply pocketed corporation, and how its tremendous power is prevailing over the interests of the most sympathetic of little guys: 9/11 victims. And it illustrates how the influence of major fruit companies—such a core component of 20th-century American policy that they gave rise to the phrase "Banana Republics"—endures today.
"The path to justice for me and the other 9/11 family members and survivors is being blocked by a banana company. I think Chiquita should mind their own bananas and let justice be served," said Terry Strada, whose husband was killed in the terrorist attacks.
The major fruit supplier is not in any way connected with 9/11, but in 2007 it pleaded guilty to making over 100 payments to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a right-wing paramilitary group designated by the United States as a terrorist organization.
Chiquita, which had operated in Colombia for over 100 years, began making payments to the terrorist organization after a 1997 meeting between an AUC leader and a senior executive of its Colombian subsidiary. Nearly every month,additional payments followed. The fruit company has maintained that it only made payments due to extortionary threats of violence, and reacted to protect the lives of its workers.
Through a deal in which Chiquita was represented by now-Attorney General Eric Holder, the fruit company agreed to pay a $25 million fine. Chiquita acknowledged that between 1997 and 2004, it made over $1.7 million in payments in cash and checks to the terrorist group.
"Does [AUC] financing make Chiquita liable for the acts of terrorism and murder committed by those terrorists? That's the question," said Terry Collingsworth, a lawyer involved in a lawsuit against Chiquita. "To the extent that JASTA changes that or clarifies that standard, it would present a threat to Chiquita."
By 2003, Chiquita's most profitable operation was its Colombian subsidiary. That same year, Chiquita officials consulted the opinion of outside lawyers in Washington, D.C., who pointedly advised that the payments were illegal and needed to be halted. They did not stop until Feb. 4, 2004. The subsidiary was sold off later that year.

Samsung's New Year's Resolution: Get Rid of Old Habits
In his annual speech at the start of the new year, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Kun-hee highlighted how tough the competition has been in 2013 and emphasized the pressing need to move away from old habits and come up with new technologies.
"Research & development center(s) should work around the clock, non-stop," Mr. Lee said according to a statement provided by Samsung.
He also said Samsung must "get rid of business models and strategies from five, ten years ago and hardware-focused ways."Boosting software capabilities has been a key challenge for Samsung as it tries to compete better with Apple and Google Inc. in the mobile market. Though the South Korean company is currently the largest seller of mobile phones, its traditional strength has been hardware not software.Investors have also shown concerns about Samsung's future outlook as they drove the company shares down by about 10% in 2013 despite Samsung's record-breaking earnings results, largely driven by its smartphone sales. The company's shares started the new year with a 4.6% drop Thursday as the growth momentum for its key mobile unit cools.
At the start of every year, South Korean conglomerates such as Samsung, Hyundai and LG all hold year-opening ceremonies with speeches from top executives.
Mr. Lee, 71 years old, was one of them, seen walking into the ceremony venue supported hand-in-hand by his eldest daughter Lee Boo-jin.
The comments weren't as wild as the ones he made about 20 years ago when he urged Samsung executives and employees to "change everything except for your wife and children." It's a famous quote that is frequently cited in local media reports as well as tens of books published on Samsung.
This year, Mr. Lee also noted how exhausting the patent battles with rivals overseas had been. Samsung, which has fighting with Apple Inc. in courts around the globe over patent infringement, owes the Cupertino-based company nearly $1 billion in damages.
Mr. Lee also mentioned the "big and small accidents" at the company's factories, noting that Samsung should be one of the safest places to work. The company had to cope with gas leaks at a semiconductor manufacturing facility last year, while the chief executive of affiliate Samsung Engineering Co. was fired after a water tank explosion that led to casualties.
He also reflected back on the past 20 years, saying that while Samsung was able to reach the top position in some business areas, some had shown no growth.
Samsung is the world's biggest maker of smartphones, TVs and memory chips by shipments.

Do you guys know if they are working on drivers for this chipset? I bought the card but I can't seem to get a handshake on my AP. I tried this update and I can no longer see my adapter in backtrack 5 r1 x64 gnome.
Because I realy want to buy the ALFA AWUS036NHR, but if it can not show associated clients, or can't inject, it's not realy helpfull :S
If I'm not bying the ALFA AWUS036NHR, I was planing on bying the ALFA AWUS036NHA. But your are talking about the AWUS036NH.. Since they are very much akike, with one is better for linux ? (the AWUS036NH with a Ralink 3070 chipset or an AWUS036NHA with an Atheros AR9271 chipset ?)
Thank you so much !!
and sorry for my poor english.. I did my best
PS: if someone knows a better/affordable card than those; i'm interested too ^^
Do you guys know if they are working on drivers for this chipset? I bought the card but I can't seem to get a handshake on my AP. I tried this update and I can no longer see my adapter in backtrack 5 r1 x64 gnome.
Does this work also on the virtual machine (vmware) ?
It might not be a bad idea for others to email/chat with Alfa for the same request. It may light a fire under their **** to get things moving for their latest and greatest adapter.
I'll post back when I get their reply.
Edit: Well, I got a reply back from Alfa basically just blowing me off and saying that they are not allowed to discuss how to use this device as a security tool. (I asked if/when they would have drivers for Backtrack that supported injection and monitor mode)
Last edited by sickness; 11-28-2011 at 10:47 PM. Reason: No bad words here :)
how can I awus036nhr with compat-wireless driver rtl8192cu the channel 1 - Set X? I've already tried several things without success. Have no idea of the degree
I have, but what's listed here apply ALFA AWUS036NHR gerix stable wifi does not work sometimes when it does not work out a patch for the stable? Can you guess I do not know much more than English narration KIIS victim in this regard with Video
First off, THANK YOU for the hard work and detailed instructions on this. Knowing this is a temporary fix until more compatible drivers are available is a help in the long run.
I ran into a problem though. The laptop I use has a Broadcom card internal for wireless connections, the AWUS036NHR for USB external and I can hook another RT81XX mini usb stick if needed.
The instructs had both RT8XXX devices running but killed the Broadcom. Bluetooth works, but not the Broadcom.
any ideas on getting the broadcom back up and running ?
Update: 2011-12-29
I downloaded the correct driver from Broadcom and built these based upon the instructions and drivers at : http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
Now that the Broadcom diver is working and connecting, I am finding that the AWUS036NHR can work but not connect to any APs... arrrg!!! I can use certain tools yet for normal internet connectivity, nothing.
ideas ?

This alfa card has the potential to be very very good. However at the minute i see it as crap! No support! dont waste ya cash!
I've an ALFA AWUS036NHR card and Backtrack 5R1. I've followed all the instructions of manzamanna below and now seems all ok.
I can monitor, inject etc...
But ! there is only one issue:
When I run airodump-ng mon0 for example it don't show any client associations. But in my lab test there is 1 wifi laptop connected with my AP and airodump don't show me any association.
I can successfull deauth in broadcast etc....
Any suggest with airodump ?
I'm considering buying this card over the other older ALFA cards, as it would be nice to have a card with great range for both g and n networks, but I haven't found any more progress being made on support for this chipset. Has anyone gotten full functionality with this card, or know if the latest compat-wireless drivers (or any others) provide it?

Tornados defense forces three turnovers in first SAC win, 14-9September 26, 2009
Gist returns an interception for touchdown and Ray recovers fumble late to clinch win
Hickory, N.C. - Derek Church rumbled for 54 yards on five carries in the fourth quarter and a late strip-sack by Justin Jefferson of quarterback Justin Sanders recovered by Richard Ray with 59 seconds left in the game clinched the Tornados first South Atlantic Conference victory since joining the SAC last season as Brevard took home the win, 14-9.
For the season, Brevard improves to 5-0, 1-0 in conference play as the Tornados continue their most successful start to a season since the program was reinstated in 2006. The Bears fall to 3-2, 0-1 in the SAC with the loss.
Billed as a game with the two most potent rushing attacks in NCAA Division II, neither team was able to gain traction on the playing surface as steady rain worsened field conditions to the point where players started slipping on the field after halftime.
The Tornados rushed for 113 yards on 44 carries, with quarterback Michael Crumbaker leading the way with 22 carries for 74 yards. Neville Bryce was held to 10 yards on six carries as the Bears keyed on the Tornados leading rusher throughout the game.
Through the air, Crumbaker completed his only passing attempt, going to Lawrence Martin for 73 yards and a touchdown.
On the defensive side, sophomore outside linebacker Prince Simunyu recorded 11 tackles, including three for loss as the Tornados defense, though forced to stay on the field for over 33 minutes in the game, forced the Bears into three turnovers. Brandon Rawls had eight tackles with one going for negative yards. Michael Gist added eight tackles from his safety position, along with an interception, while Stanley Jones had seven solo tackles for the game.
For the Bears on the offensive side of the ball, Byron Darby led the nine Lenoir-Rhyne ball carriers with 50 yards on 13 carries. Justin Sanders was 6-14 in the air with a touchdown and an interception.
Keonte Davies led the LR defense with nine tackles with two going for loss as the Bears recorded a total of 14 tackles behind the BC line of scrimmage for the contest.
The Tornados won the opening coin toss, but deferred to the second half, allowing the Bears to have opening possession in the game.
Lenoir-Rhyne moved the ball to the Brevard side of the field on a nine play-28 yard drive but were forced to punt as Sanders' pass to Pointer fell incomplete.
Brevard's first drive was sparked by a 47 yard rush by Crumbaker on the second play, going from the BC 13-yard line to the LR 40. However, the drive went for naught as the Tornados stalled at the 38, forcing a punt by Eric Watts.
LR's second drive was marred by a miscommunication between Sanders and James Pone, forcing a second-and-20 as the BC defense forced a punt which was downed at the Tornados 27-yard line.
The Tornados offense came out from the sidelines straight to the ball and following a play-action fake, Crumbaker spotted a streaking Martin down the left seam, hitting him in the numbers\ at the Lenoir-Rhyne 40 yard line. Martin, shaking off one tackle, out-ran the chasing safety to the end zone. Chase Henry's extra point put the Tornados up 7- with 4:26 left in the first quarter.
The score would remain the same until the second quarter as the Tornados went three-and-out on their opening possession of the period, forcing a Watts' punt from the BC 30-yard line. The sophomore, known for his big leg, connected on a 64-yard punt that traveled 60 yards in the air, which the Tornados were able to down at the Lenoir-Rhyne six-yard line.
Backed up against the goal line, Sanders attempted a quick slant to the left on third-and-six, hoping to catch the Tornados napping. Gist, a Preseason Second Team All-Sac defensive back, read the play perfectly, stepping in front of the pass and returning it to the right front pylon, out-racing Sanders for his second touchdown return in as many weeks to give Brevard the commanding 14-0 lead with 7:51 remaining in the opening half.
Jamont Jones returned the following kickoff from Justin Matis to the Lenoir-Rhyne 49-yard line. An illegal block by one of the Tornados during the return advanced the ball 15 yards, giving the Bears excellent field position at Brevard's 36.
Lenoir-Rhyne capitalized, converting on fourth-and-eight and then Sanders found a wide-open Pointer in the end zone from 22 yards out to cut the lead to 14-6 after Colin Corpe's extra poin went wide left.
The score remained the same as the teams went into the locker room with the Tornados on top, 14-6.
Coming out of the halftime break, Brevard took over at their 23-yard line. Two plays later, Brevard's lone miscue of the game occurred as confusion in the backfield led to the ball being placed on the ground where it was covered up by the Bears' Dewayne Jones at the Tornados 17.
Three plays later, Corpe knocked home a 25-yard field goal as Lenoir-Rhyne cut the lead within a touchdown, 14-9 with 3:28 gone in the third quarter.
The defenses took over from here as field conditions worsened and the rain continued to fall as both offenses combined for only two first downs in the last 11:32 of the quarter with Brevard's Bryce picking up one with a five-yard carry and Major Herron rushing for five yards on a quarterback scramble for the Bears.
With both teams struggling to get anything going, the game turned into a field position battle and Brevard's Eric Watts came through in the clutch, with nine punts going for 360 yards for a 40.0 yard average. In addition to his 64-yard monster, Watts also nailed kicks that sailed 52 and 50 yards, pinning the Bears inside the 20 three times during the game.
The Tornados turned to Church in the fourth quarter, trusting the redshirt junior fullback from Franklin, N.C. and he delivered, carrying the ball three times on one drive for 17 yards and a first down.
A muffed snap on the punt gave the Bears great field position at Brevard's 30-yard line with 5:27 left. Justin Sanders ran the ball three times, moving it up to the Tornados 28-yard line, but on the fourth-down, facing the blitz from the Tornados defensive line, Sanders threw it high over his intended target, turning the ball over on downs.
Church took the subsequent snap, going untouched up the left side for 36 yards, putting Brevard deep in LR territory, forcing the Bears to use all three timeouts before getting the ball back with 2:30 left on the clock.
Helped by a pass interference call, Sanders continued the drive, stepping up in the pocket scrambling or looking for an open receiver. He held onto the ball too long on the Bears' final play of the game getting stripped by Jefferson coming in from his defensive end position. Ray hurdled over the fallen quarterback and cradled the ball as the Tornados regained possession, kneeling three times to clinch their first SAC win since the program was granted full membership in 2008.
The Tornados continue conference play next weekend as they travel to Wingate, N.C. to take on the host Bulldogs. Kickoff for the South Atlantic Conference game is set for 1:30 p.m.

Brevard at Southern Virginia Game Day InformationOctober 13, 2011
Directions, Game Notes and Radio Links posted below
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College football team returns to Parry McCluer High School's Robert E. "Bobby" William field, the site of their record-setting rushing game, as they take on Southern Virginia University on Saturday, October 15th at 4 p.m.
The Tornados defeated the Knights last season with a school record 69 points and 519 rushing yards, including Kelvin Jeter's school record 95 yard touchdown carry as Brevard defeated Southern Virginia in their homecoming contest last season.
The stage is set to repeat itself this year as the Tornados are again the guests to the Knights' Homecoming celebration and Brevard brings their NCAA Division II 11th-best rushing attack led by quarterback Aaron Reese and slotback Jeter to the field against Coach DeLane Fitzgerald's Knights.
Southern Virginia features a balanced offensive attack led by sophomore quarterback Mitch Stevenson as the Knights average 257.4 yards through the air and 205.4 yards on the ground and are coming off of consecutive victories over Guilford and Radford as SVU has outscored their opponents 118-30 over their last two contests.
The Tornados meanwhile, look to bounce back from one of their toughest contests on the season as Brevard fell in triple overtime to Lenoir-Rhyne. Reese connected with Eric Watts on eight passes for 79 yards, Austin Clark hit a pair of field goals and Jeter scored the game-tying touchdown to send the game into the third overtime, but it was not enough as the Tornados fell to the Bears, 33-27.
Brevard leads the all-time series against the Knights, 2-0.
Brevard Players to Watch
Aaron Reese - Reese continues to move up the BC record books at the quarterback position as in his first full season behind the center for the Tornados, he is fifth all-time in passing attempts, fourth in passing completions, third in passing yards and second in passing touchdowns as he chases down the individual records in the BC record books. A tough competitor, Reese leads the Tornados in rushing yards with 426 on the season and also leads the team with seven rushing touchdowns, five coming in the Brevard victory over Tusculum. Reese has added six passing touchdowns and 478 yards through the air and will look to continue the Brevard success against Southern Virginia.
Richard Ray - Ray always seems to save the best for the Bears as he has been a thorn in the side of the Lenoir-Rhyne offense the last two times he played the Bears. The senior defensive end recorded a career high 10 tackles and four tackles for loss against Lenoir-Rhyne and broke out of a mini-slump after opening the season with four sacks in the first two games. The 6-2, 245 pound lineman continues to be a major force in the Brevard defensive game plan and is currently second in the conference in tackles for loss, as well as second overall in the SAC in sacks per game. He will look to continue Brevard's string of success behind the line of scrimmage as the Tornados have averaged 9.5 tackles for loss in their past two contests against SVU.
Southern Virginia Players to Watch
Mitch Stevenson - Stevenson comes in as the unquestioned leader of the Knights offense, averaging 225.0 yards per game through the air, completing 56.7% of his passing attempts for nine touchdowns and has Southern Virginia on a two game winning streak as SVU has defeated their opponents by a combined score of 118-30. The sophomore came in relief last year for the Knights, completing two of seven passes for 17 yards. Stevenson set an SVU record with a 460 yard, three touchdown performance against Guilford and will look to challenge a Brevard defense that enters the contest allowing 218.2 yards per game through the air.
Tommy Davidson - The heart of the Southern Virginia defense, the senior linebacker leads the Knights on the season with 53 total tackles, 28 solo and 25 assisted and comes into this weekend's matchup with the Tornados having averaged six tackles per game against Brevard in the two contests between the teams. Davidson leads Coach DeLane Fitzgerald's team with seven tackles for loss on the season and has shown his hard-hitting versatility on the field with a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup on the season. The Tornados offensive line will look to keep Davidson in check as Brevard boasts the 11th-ranked rushing attack among NCAA Division II institutions.
Kickoff for the game is set for 4 p.m. at Bobby Williams Field in Buena Vista, Va.
Fans who are unable to attend the game, can listen live through the broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Dwayne Summers over the radio at WSQL Radio 1240 AM, or over the internet at www.wsqlradio.com.

Brevard, N.C. - Neville Bryce and Kelvin Jeter set Brevard College single season and single game rushing records on Saturday against Wingate University, but it was not enough as Cody Haffly threw for 379 yards and five touchdowns and Perry Floyd had 221 all-purpose yards as Brevard fell in a high-scoring affair to the visiting Bulldogs, 44-37.
Bryce, in his first healthy action on the season after dealing with turf toe and a sprained ankle early in the year, carried the ball 35 times for 224 yards and four touchdowns in the game breaking the single game carries and yards record previously held by John Taylor. Kelvin Jeter also broke the 100 yard rushing mark in the game for Brevard (3-5, 0-4 SAC), finishing the game with 138 yards on 11 carries. Jeter's 35 yard carry in the first quarter broke the BC single season rushing record of 766 yards held by Taylor, and the freshman slot finished up the game with 825 rushing yards on the season.
Michael Crumbaker was two of seven for 26 yards through the air for Brevard in the game, finding Derek Church for a 15 yard gain and Jeter for an 11 yard catch, while carrying the ball 17 times for 65 yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, C.J. Wilson, Prince Simunyu and Trey Jenkins led the Tornados with eight tackles apiece. Christian Lumbu added seven tackles, 1.5 coming behind the line of scrimmage, while Rufus Jenkins picked up a sack in the contest. Demarcus Allen forced and recovered a fumble for Brevard in the contest, while Salonik Amos picked off his second pass of the season for Brevard.
Wingate (5-2, 3-1 SAC) overcame a 20-2 deficit in picking up their third SAC win of the season. Haffly was 23 of 32 through the air for 379 yards and five touchdowns, with Floyd being his favorite target as the redshirt senior hauled in seven catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Delric Ellington added six catches for 116 yards and Chris Bowden had 105 yards and touchdowns through the air to round out the Wingate aerial assault.
Nelson Woods led the Bulldogs on the ground, carrying the ball 31 times for 153 yards and one touchdown, averaging 4.9 yards per carry.
Robert Fletcher led all players on the defensive end with nine tackles in the game, while Ben Hinson and Greg Harmon had eight tackles apiece. Brandon Mays and Josh Yon each recorded tackles for loss in the game, while Mays also forced and recovered a fumble. Justin Squirewell had a big game in the Wingate secondary, recording six tackles and broke up two Brevard pass attempts in the game.
Brevard took the opening kickoff and started their opening drive on their 32 yard line. After Crumbaker picked up nine yards on third down to give the hosts a fresh set of downs on their 48 yard line, Jeter found a seam and raced down the left sideline for 51 yards before being dragged down at the Wingate 1 yard line by Squirewell. Bryce bulled his way into the end zone on the following play to put the Tornados up 6-0. Chase Henry's extra point was blocked however, and returned all the way to the end zone by Terrence Stephens to put the score at 6-2, 2:22 into the game.
The teams swapped punts, before Wingate put together a nine play, 33 yard driving, moving the ball to the Brevard 10 yard line as Haffly connected on a pair of passes to Ellington and Woods had three carries for 28 yards. On Woods' fourth carry of the drive, he was stripped by BC's Allen and Allen fell on the ball to end the Bulldogs drive, giving the Tornados possession.
On their first play from scrimmage after the fumble, Jeter found another seam, this time on the right side, weaving his way for 35 yards to move the ball to the Brevard 45 yard line. The Tornados moved the ball the rest of the way on nine rushing plays, capped off by a nine yard carry by Bryce to put the Tornados up 13-2 with 33 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Wingate turned the ball over on downs on their next possession and the Tornados too over on their own 23 yard line. Using a steady diet of Bryce carries, Brevard moved the ball 65 yards on 17 plays, with the senior fullback carrying the ball eight times on the drive as the Tornados advanced to the WU eight yard line. Crumbaker rushed off the right tackle, but was hit by Mays and the ball came loose, bouncing back into Mays hands to end the drive and give possession to the visitors.
Haffy connected with Floyd on back-to-back passes to start the drive, moving the ball 40 yards before Woods had a 19 yard carry up the middle to place the ball on the BC 29 yard line. Haffly's next pass attempt was tipped and picked off by Amos, and the junior cornerback returned the ball 23 yards to the BC 38.
A late hit on the play gave Brevard possession at the Wingate 47 yard line, and after a pair of running plays and an incomplete pass, Bryce took the handoff on fourth-and-one, broke a tackle up the middle and then outran the defenders to the end zone from 38 yards out to put the Tornados up 20-2 with 1:07 remaining in the first half.
A 31 yard kickoff return by Timmy Rogers gave the Bulldogs possession on their own 47 yard line for one final drive in the half, and Haffly moved the Bulldogs down the field, targeting five different receivers before finding Philip Thomas in the back of the end zone for a four yard score with five seconds left in the half. RP Lopez's extra point was good as the teams headed into the locker rooms with the score at 20-9 in favor of the Tornados.
Brevard attempted an onside kick to start the second half, but Wingate was able to recover the ball, starting off their opening possession of the half on the BC 39 yard line. After a three-yard rush by Woods, Haffly found Bowden on a post pattern in the middle of the field for a 36 yard scoring strike to cut the deficit to 20-16.
After a Brevard punt, the Bulldogs marched down the field again, moving the ball 65 yard on nine plays before Haffly found Floyd in the end zone for a nine yard touchdown, giving Wingate their first lead of the afternoon at 23-20.
The Tornados came back on their next possession as Bryce opened up the drive with a 38 yard carry, moving the ball from the BC 37 yard line to the Wingate 25. Wingate's defense stood strong in the red zone, forcing a fourth down to bring out the field goal unit. Henry's 27 yard attempt split the uprights, tying the score at 23 apiece with 3:42 left in the third quarter.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Haffly found Floyd for a 29 yard touchdown, capping off a 10 play, 57 yard drive in which the Bulldogs overcame back-to-back holding penalties which gave the visitors a second-and-24, to go ahead 30-23.
Aided by a Wingate personal foul on their next drive and a 22 yard carry by Bryce, the Tornados tied the game up as Crumbaker found a gap in the line from one yard out to put the score at 30 apiece with 11:21 remaining.
Wingate would score touchdowns on their next two drives as Woods ran the ball in from five yards out one play after a 73 yard pitch-and-catch from Haffly to Ellington, and Haffly found Bowden in the right corner of the end zone from 43 yards out on their second drive, giving the Bulldogs a 44-30 lead with 6:01 left in the game.
The Tornados fought back, moving the ball down the field through the air as Crumbaker found Jeter for 11 yards and Church for a 15 yard gain. A roughing the passer penalty kept the drive alive before Bryce carried the ball in from four yards out for his fourth rushing touchdown on the afternoon to cut the lead to 44-37 with 2:31 remaining.
Wingate recovered the ensuing onside kick and was able to milk the clock the rest of the way to end the game in taking the win.
The Tornados take to the road next week in a SAC game against Tusculum College. Kickoff for the game in Greeneville, Tenn. is set for Saturday, October 30th, at 1:30 p.m.

Modern underpinnings and a classic shape—that's the recipe for Pro Touring. Well, if you're going to go, you might as well go all out, and we did that here: This is a true triple black 1971 Barracuda convertible with an Arrington Racing 6.1 liter Hemi, a TREMEC TKO500 transmission, four wheel disc brakes, an RMS front suspension, and a Dana 60 rear end. Expertly sorted, drivable beyond belief and VERY fast, this reborn Hemicuda Convertible is set to tear up any street you care to throw at it.
Someone really did order this car in triple black (TX9 body, TX9 interior, V3X black top.) We even have its original Chrysler Corporation broadcast sheet and fender tag to prove it. The car originally came with buckets and console, the light package and the basic group. This one left Hamtramck with a 318 and an automatic, but we went ahead and remedied that!
Rather than get the tried-and-true 426 crate engine everyone else has, we went out and purchased an Arrington Performance 6.1 Liter SRT-8 Hemi, with Arrington-calibrated EFI from FAST. With 535hp on tap we have enough power to keep up with just about anything, with much better reliability than any old carbureted mill. Arrington Engines even stands behind their motors with a three year/36,000 mile warranty. Imagine trying to finagle that out of Chrysler on one of the Chinese built HEMI crate engines. We built this car to drive…anywhere you want, anytime you want. Drive it to work, drive it to the Dairy Queen, take it on the Power Tour … whatever you do-just drive it! This car starts promptly, idles for long periods in traffic without overheating, and fries the tires upon command—trust us!
The shaker hood was a must, as it's easily the coolest option you could order for an E body. The SRT intake doesn't point straight up, though, so we had to do something different to get the look. We ended up custom fabricating a shaker hood assembly that bolts to the hood itself. That surprises the heck out of people when we raise the hood! Back underneath a new Sinister Pulley Systems serpentine system is up front, working with the Vintage Air setup. We needed the HEMI to stay cool, so we threw in a beefy four core Be Cool radiator with a cooling fan that kicks in automatically at 180 degrees. We threw on a pusher fan on the condenser as well for those especially hot days—this is a black car, after all!
Al black is cool, but more black is even cooler! We installed HEMI billboard decals (we went through three sets to get them perfect) and purchase a set of Gene Gregory rubber bumpers and painted them to match. The body was repainted no less than three times because Joe Carroll can't stand any imperfections (the last repaint was done 200 miles ago). We restored a correct color-keyed grill, using all of the correct finishes. And hey, you have to have a correct reproduction 1971 Go Wing! We just purchased an NOS 1971 Go Wing. If you are interested, we'd be happy to install it on the car.
So that we can see clearly at 145 MPH, we put in a brand spanking new PPG tinted windshield, and since the windshield was out, we buffed all of the windshield trim had all of the stainless polished. We removed the convertible top frame and mechanisms, blasted and painted them before installing a new black Legendary top, along with a new black vinyl convertible top boot. We got all of the chrome redone or replaced with high quality reproduction pieces.
For wheels & tires, who wants to see another boring set of Rallye wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on a Pro Touring car? Not us: We purchased a set 17X7 American Racing Shelby Legend Series Torq Thrust Type M wheels, gloss black with machined lip and mated them to fat Kumho Ecsta meats, 235/45/ZR17s up front and 255/50ZR17s in the rear (you gotta have that slightly raked look!) We'd figure that with this combo, we'd upset both the Mopar and the Ford purists! Of course, we took off the Shelby center caps and paint them…black, of course!
Shift to the chassis. With a modern engine like a 6.1 Liter HEMI, you can't just throw in an old four speed…you'd need an all around great box like the Tremec TKO500 5 speed with its hydraulic clutch like the one here. To keep things looking right, we installed a new Pistol Grip shifter in the center console…we figured that was mandatory! With the 5th gear in this 'Cuda, is 190 possible??? With all that fast, this baby has to STOP fast, too! For braking, we installed a Wilwood 4 piston front disc brake setup, fed by an SSBC master cylinder and power brake booster. Coupled with the disc brakes on the rear of the brand new Strange Dana 60 allows us to stop in a hurry, time and again.
For handling, we spec'd out a brand new RMS Fabrication AlterKation bolt in sub-frame/K-member replacement, complete with power rack & pinion steering, tubular upper & lower control arms, and QA1 coil-over adjustable gas shocks. If you've never ridden in an old Mopar with a setup like this you have NO point of comparison for how good this system is! The Strange Engineering Dana 60 out back sports 3.54 gears and is an all-new unit from axles to gears to the housing. We don't mess around! We finished off the package with a new fuel tank, new stainless steel fuel lines, new stainless steel brake lines, new hoses and everything else you'd expect on a fully restored car.
Moving on to the interior, we would want to maintain a stock appearing car, with some essential upgrades. Of course, we replaced the original carpeting with new rugs from ACC, along with new sound deadener and carpet mats. New door and kick panels, new sun visors, sill plates, door handles, restored dash pad…the works! An ultra-cool wood rim-blow steering wheel, perfectly restored, is here, matching right up with the Pistol Grip in the console! You can't have vinyl seats in a car like this, so we purchased new leather seat covers and seat foams from Legendary and have the seats redone from top to bottom, including the seat tracks and mounting hardware. It's uncanny how the black leather seat material matches the shade of the black billboard stripes, almost exactly! While we were at it, we installed a brand new set of one-year-only 1971 'Cuda convertible seat belts from BE/A. Now for the upgrades—this car was built to drive, and you have to have tunes! A nice Alpine AM/FM/CD/IPOD stereo with four JL Audio speakers, tastefully mounted in the doors and rear panels fills the bill nicely. So you're up to speed with what's going on with the engine room we installed an XV Motorsports gauge housing and stocked it with Auto Meter Phantom gauges (speedometer, tachometer, voltage water temperature, oil pressure and fuel level. The dash is finished off with a complete Vintage Air climate control System with in-dash, factory appearing controls. Last but not least, we completed our modern enhancements with a full power window setup. After all, what if it starts to rain when you're on the Tour? You'd have to get those windows up in a hurry!
We're all done…just imagine this car…triple black, leather seats, black billboards, really hot wheels: This is one incredible ride! Taking it to a car show causes people to part like Moses at the red sea. Crowds flock to this car wherever it goes because it's something that's unique, ultra-cool, and outruns the new Challengers, not to mention the old ones! This Hemicuda is the best of the old and the best of the new, and a real hot rod, in every sense of the word!
Now the all important question: How does it drive? Well, let me tell you exactly how it drives…at least five times better than any stock E body, ever! The engine starts with a turn of the key and idles like it can go on all day and yawn while you wait forever for the plugs to foul. On its maiden voyage, the Hemicuda pulled into the local Burger King and sat in 88 degree weather, at idle, with the A/C on, for a full 15 minutes. The temperature gauge never went over 182 degrees! The fast revving 6.1 Liter STR8 HEMI has more power than you could ever ask for on the street, the TKO with its hydraulic clutch and slick shifter is a vast improvement over stock…sharp, crisp shifts, with immediate response.
If you are looking for the ultimate nice weather toy and don't want to spend $250K with our restoration shop on a custom build, this is your car. Looking for attention? This 1971 Plymouth Hemicuda Convertible is shock & awe wrapped up in triple black! If you watched our last one sell earlier this year faster than a bullet, you'll jump on this one while you can.

Which one allows me to do more customization? I know that there are lots of templates for Perstashop and thats a plus.
What are other main differences?
For me, I choose bigcommerce.My reason is very simple, because I'm not good in programming.With hosted solution like bigcommerce, I only need to plan one of their plan and everything is there.No need to do any programming or tweaking.
Well it depends on what kind of customization you are looking for. If you are using auto build ecommerce platforms then probably, you would not get a chance to do more customization. Some ecommerce platform do not allow any customization.
PrestaShop and BigCommerce are similar to that.
If we consider Magento then probably it will allow you to use default customization which is not their with PrestaShop and BigCommerce. So just elaborate about the customization and you will get you answers.
I've never used either, but both seem to be fully customisable, according to their sites.
I have worked with the company where this issue was raised. Client's website was in PrestaShop and he wanted to migrate it to Magento just because he wanted some customization which wasn't there with the PrestaShop.
It is really depends on your needs, resources and skill.
If you are good in programming and able to setup the server (VPS or Dedicated), it is fine to go for PrestaShop. Because it is open source, so everything can be customized (if not default function, you can still coding it by yourself).
Otherwise, if you only want to sell your products and focus on growing your business. You should avoid or eliminate the tasks (e.g. server setup, monitoring, maintenance, backup plan, bug fixing...) that cannot rise your sales and go for hosted service.
It is good to use Bigcommerce if you have lot of products.
But if you just start to test the water, you may also consider some other hosted online store creators for small business starters.
Some of them are providing free/trail plan.
The main difference is that Big commerce is hosted and you can only modify it so much. Prestashop is totally customizable so you can do anything you can imagine with it.
Your development team just did not know how to work with Prestashop. You are placing a limitation on the software that is actually a limitation of your development team. If you want to elaborate on the issue, I will be glad to tell you how it could have been worked out.
Hi, I am Community Manager for PrestaShop, I can help answer any questions you may have about our software. PrestaShop is Open-Source, that means the Code is available for all to see and use as they wish, we have a GitHub dedicated page so developers can contribute directly to the software, https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop
First, PrestaShop is a freeware, used by over 150,000 online stores. you can use the entire software without ever paying us a cent to use it. Yes, we have additional Addons and templates that we sell, but the out-of-the-box feature set, rivals,if not exceeds other paid software. We are not a hosted solution even though most quality hosting providers have simple one click install. Do you have to know programming to use PrestaShop? Absolutely not, however, due to the open-source flexible nature of the software, many people chose to have Developers to further customize their website. We have offices in both Europe and the United States and really try to help out our merchants as best we can. I would suggest that you check out our new v1.6 that will be released early next year, http://vimeo.com/75405291 , as well as our highly active forum at www.prestashop.com/forum
Please let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Very impresive location, with big comfortable rooms.
The fact that the hotel is based on the original San Marcus monastey of León. The hotel as most modern facilities in an olsfashioned way. The Paradors has a special atmosphere, which you don't find in other Hotels.
Breakfast was nice smell of cigarettes in the room
The amazing building it was located in. Our room was not in the old building and therefore did not have the same atmosphere. The hotel was very large and therefore a little impersonal.
Beautiful historic building All was fine
Free parking for guests without any problem, we got the room in original old building without any additional charge. The restaurant has disappointed us.
El edificio donde esta el hotel es precioso y esta muy cerca del centro de Leon. The view from my room.
Beautiful building, good location and friendly staff.
The location of the hotel was excellent for seeing the city and the building is quite special The restaurant staff were very unfriendly. We had one lunch in the restaurant which was very enjoyable despite the staff. However, we also had one dinner which was not good at all and despite the fact that I sent back a starter and main course barely touched no-one asked if I had a problem. We did not get even one smile from a waiter thoughout the whole meal. The Parador restaurants are fairly expensive and this was terrible value for money. We would certainly think twice before eating in this hotel again. Would probably only revisit due to location but as our 2 nights proved very expensive in total so would look at other hotels first.
Outstanding historic building
The hotel is in a spectacular building and OK for sightseeing, although a ten to fifteen minute walk to the cathedral etc. Like several paradors I have stayed in, this one needs updating inside. The bedroom was large but a bit drab, with dated electrics and very poor internet service.
Very high value hotel!
On arrival the Receptionist was very helpful. Hotel's own parking was good. Room was standard city business-type. About 10 minutes walk from centre which was no problem as it was close enough to walk at night yet hotel was quiet. Room was quite small (with limited storage) for two people with holiday luggage but we were only staying two nights.
Room was lovely and staff were very helpful, great value too.
the hotel itself was nice, and good location, staff fabulous, but not a great lot of facilities for a 4star hotel. did not like the fact that there was no cafe or restaurant
Convenient central location, modern and stylish decor. Friendly staff who helped us plan our limited time in Leon. Excellent buffet breakfast. Secure parking a boon in a city centre. Nothing at all to criticise about the hotel.
reception staff were very helpful; location was ok to visit old city; no breakfast but coffee shop across the road was friendly and coffe & pastry were excellent.
Nice clean, quiet hotel in a busy, noisy city. Young staff (Beatriz) is friendly and very helpful. Parking is secure underground, but numbered a little confusing. Just a 3-4 block walk to the old city.
Staff were incredible. Very attentive during check-in and helpful during the night when I need a pain killer. Room is great. Breakfast enough although the breakfast room seems out o place.Near enough to the historic centre. It was an adequate stay. Nothing exciting. Best really was the friendly and helpful staff.
Overall good 2 night stay. Everything as advertised. Garage was under hotel, right at Cortes Englise. Comfortable beds and quiet. No problems.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is an excellent hotel, one of my favourite that I stayed in in Spain. The bed's are new but are very, very firm which is uncomfortable when you are a light person.
friendly and helpful staff
The location of the hotel in the edge of the old city giving access to the very centre of the life of the city
Very comfortable and spacious, great location, looking over Plaza Mayor itself. Nice design and decor. Staff were helpful. Good restaurant, if a little pricey for simple meals. Free internet use (for 15 minutes). The air conditioning in our room when running on max was only just comfortable, and it wasnt very hot outside. Hopefully that is not a common problem and could have been corrected. The business centre is just one internet terminal and couldnt print, although the staff were happy to print at reception if you emailed them the relevant document or page from the internet.
Excellent location near to main area of city. Hotel clean, comfortable, and staff friendly. Not a criticism, but a suggestion. The car park is directly under the hotel, but accessed from a small street at the rear and very tricky to find. A better explanation and directions would have been helpful.
Very good location, quiet Bit disappointed with not having a view
Excellent location. Comfortable. Silent. Great breakfast. The access is complicated and not sufficiently explaines.
Good location on Plaza Mayor, just a couple of minutes' walk from the cathedral and loads of restaurants and bars More of a business style hotel. Breakfast chocie limited and the worst coffee I had in Spain! Could be noisy if you like to sleep with the window open, and since the air con is of limited use the room can get hot at night.
Location - location - location. The hotel is right in the center of the old town, everything is within walking distance. Looking through the window, one feels like stepping back in time, to 16th or 17th century. Yet, inside the hotel is clearly the 21st century. Really nice.
Location, room furniture and staff.
non-availability of parking place
Rooms were very good size and clean. Good views and handy to visit the city centre attractions
The hotel was central and convenient for seeing the major attractions. The bar/cafeteria was very useful. The street and traffic noise was intrusive and made it difficult to sleep.
Helpfulness of porter Lack of sirections to restaurant
Very comfortable, helpful staff
Confortable and clean room. Excellent location, walking distance to everywhere. The parking facilities were expensive and the parking slots were small. I could hear the phone conversation held by the next door guest.
Good staff, very good room, no problems.
Room was acceptable, breakfast acceptable once I decided I wasn't going to get an English style breakfast. Staff went out of their way to find me a power board.
The location was excellent and our room was very spacious - perfect for the 4 of us. The staff at the front desk weren't particularly friendly.
Everything. It is large and spacious. Rooms comfortable and well furnished. Restaurant and breakfast was excellent. No.
Location Bit impersonal
The room was excellent, with a luxurious bath room, and an excellent buy at 63 Euro. The lower parking level is spacious. During air conditioning weather I would have regretted having a room on the back side of the hotel, because of the large and potentially noisy a/c compressors behind the hotel; I like to have my windows open.
It was really all ok.
It had gym and good breakfast The wireless internet wasn't working on the 4th floor were I was staying
The reception staff were excellent and helped me to book a room in a different hotle for the next stop on our travels
At the special rate paid, this wasan excellent deal
the room and facilities were extremely good standard and excellent value for money, and location was good the breakfast was good but expensive - more than it cost to eat in the snack cafe the previous evening
The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfeast was excellent. We found free parking in front of the hotel.
a 15-minute walk to the city centre; (paid) parking in the hotel (they have a garage); comfortable beds; clean bathroom; quiet they turn off the air conditioning in the morning so the room gets really hot if you're staying in.
Modern hotel, very good quality, located in a quiet area. Some bars at walking distance, but this is not the city center.
There was really nothing to complain about.
Close, but not too close. Friendly staff. Very clean room with comfortable bed.
the location, the room, the garage
Hotel as near as possible to the little ally ways etc, parking garage couldn't fit our Land Rovers with roof tents so we had to park on the street, which there was plenty of right outside / round the corner. We were lucky that we arrived on a Sunday when you didn't have to pay parking until Monday morning but any other time might have been a problem as it was 2 hours stay and no return within 2 hours. Other than that the hotel was very good, clean room, good bathroom - no complaints. A short walk away there was the cathedral and back ally's with lots of cafes and tapas bars - lush.
In a reasonable location overlooking a sports park and children's playpark. Opposite El Corte Ingles. Restaurant menu/a la carte choices were fairly limited.
The air conditioning did not work on the second day of staying
Excellent location
Good Location for Corte Ingles ,10 minutes to historical area Restaurant fully booked so unable to have dinner there.. Unfortunatelt not good choice of other restaurants nearby.
Excellent location, walking distance of shops and old town for good choice of restaurants. Only two very small lifts can lead to long wait.
Location very close to El Corte Ingles which makes it a good place for shopping. Far frmo the city center and rooms not at the Silken usual level (dark and not so new)
The hotel is centally located and in a busy part of Leon. It can be a little far to walk to the central core (cathedral, etc) but manageable. The breakfasts were ample and satisfying and the room very comfortable. No complaints or suggestions at all.
The cleanliness and the modern facilities Wifi
Very convenient for visiting Leon city. Breakfast was adequate. Staff were very helpful. No bar or restaurant facilities and wifi was chargeable.
The walls are very thin and one can hear people next door using the bathroom at all hours of the night and moving along the corridors!
Very central..suited purpose of visit.
1. Very near bus stop and shops 2. Friendly multilingual and helpful staff 3. Very clean large comfortable rooms
Friendly staff; close to city centre Somewhat noisy construction; does not fully live up to the quality one would expect
The decoration and furnishings are 'minimalist Rennie Macintosh (if that is not a contradiction in terms). The staff were polite and helpful. The hotel is located in the centre of Leon (and yet we were able to park outside). In the evening I asked for a local liqueur, and when they could not offer one, I made the mistake of ordering Macallan. Coffe on the other hand is reasonable.
The room was lovely, location was great, staff good
Stuff is not very friendly. The garage is for very small cars.
It was a very classy hotel on the outside but very modern in the inside. Beautiful hotel!
The staff were very friendly and its nice to be welcomed with a smile as they did. if going to Leon again i would stay at this hotel no
its closeness to the old city found the hotel by accident, but signs on the outside are unclear
The hotel is excellently located just across the street from the old town of Leon. The breakfast buffet is very expensive. For half the price of one you may have a continental breakfast for two in a cafeteria in the same square of the hotel. The hotel is also very noisy. All the rooms, the restaurant and the bar give to balconies placed above the reception hall. All the noise from the reception, restaurant, bar and rooms is easily propagated to the the whole hotel. Due to this architectural feature room doors should be soundproofing, which is not the case.
Nothing, it was a terrible place to stay. The noise was awful - rooms opened onto a central atrium and staff seemed to be cleaning after dinner and preparing breakfast all night with only an hour or two of peace. Staff were not especially helpful, the air conditioning did not work and breakfast was a ridiculous price. Photos of the hotel are deceptive - the furnishings are quite basic, it does not deserve 4 stars.
Location, view, price and breakfast included. Terrible bed, internet by wire without a table.
Room was facing main street, noisy throughout evening.
Location was good; Arrangements were good
poor restaurant facilities
The staff was accommodating when we felt that there wasn't room for an extra bed for our son in our room. They told us that all the rooms are doubles, but they found one that was shaped differently so that the bed fit better. Though the bathroom looked nice, the walls were very thin, and the glass wall "shower curtain" did not prevent water from leaking all over the floor. The hotel was not within walking distance to the old part of town.
Good value and very clean (it's a new construction). I can find anything anywhere but this hotel beat me, it's in the middle of nowhere ! It is also a strange feeling to sleep in a hospital complex.
It was truly pleasant. I can only have good things to say. Very comfortable, very clean, modern design, huge rooms, everything was fantastic. I never though that a 3-star hotel could offer such good conditions. Much better than the majority of the 4-star hotel I've been!... All this for less than 50€/night! Could not ask more! The only "but" was not having WiFi in the rooms (you would need to go to a specif area in the hotel to have it available), other than this, perfect!
Wonderful beds, Yulia most friendly and helpful. I would have liked to be able to make some coffee/tea in the room, especially since we arrived late and left early.
Theb friendliness of staff; the relABLE tourist information, the modern design of the hotel, the internet service free of charge THE poor identification of the hotel, as the name can not be seen from the main road and the entrance is not obvious ,as cars have ton go through the hospital entrance .on the car psrk the entrance to the lift that leads to the reception is signed: no way out!
Confort Direction is not indicated. The main entrance is from the hospital it was very difficult to get there.
The facilities were great and very comfortable for the price. The hotel staff was very attentive to all our needs. The location was great with parking. The arquitecture was amazing and beautiful inviting you to stay.
The address of the hotel was wrong and had to look for it for an hour. It should inform visitors that it is located within the area of the hospital.
Comfortable rooms and friendly efficient staff
location, free parking, free minibar no satelite tv
Staff was accomodating. Clean and comfortable but nothing special. Cafeteria and restaurant were mediocre at best.
Location, price, parking, breakfast = excellent No complaints whatsoever.
location was ideal . The lobby cafe' has good quality coffee and pastries. Very accomodating with baby's cot . Very nice clean smell everywhere around the Hotel . Charge for parking inclosed garage 6.45 euro little steep , free parking on street .Breakfast not included .
Everything of good quality, professional and friendly and good value for money
The staff were very helpful. Our room was extremely clean and very comfortable.
Bright and new with good underground parking. Couldn't connect to the internet - this was important to us.
Very comfortable, located near the centre of Leon. Everything was fine.
Good location within easy walking distance of Cathedral and city centre. Very clean and tidy hotel with good facilities for the price.
I liked most things. I particularly liked the restaurant. The situation is very good, city centre quite close.
Menos,para playa.VAlle para todo. Pero su situación y precio.
Good walking distance to the center, easy to find parking lots (free until 10am), free internet. Through the thin room door there is a lot of noise from the corridor.
The spacious room and bathroom. The location. Breakfast a bit poor for a 3 star.
Excellent location. Reception was multilingual which helped. Free internet. Smoking permitted in all areas.
The room was ok although it was warm (no air conditioning yet) and a little noisy when the windows were open to the street. The artwork at the hotel is really interesting although a bit macabre at times... It was nice that there was internet. the room was too warm and it was a goodly walk to the historic district
Very central. Very comfortable.
English speaking receptionist; close to the city center Room needs updating
Everything was very adequate
Central location, very helpful staff - sorted a problem for us on the telephone. Unique art work. No evening meal avaialble because of a bank holiday.
The spa was fabulous, a great way to relax after a long journey and fun for older children. The spa was included in the price of the room. Spa staff and receptionist were helpful. Our room was at the front of the hotel so if noise disturbs you ask for a room at the back. We booked a triple room and were given a room with three beds but it was a tight squeeze.
Staff was helpfull
We arrived for fiestas our lovely room overlooking all the action. Food at the hotel serves many local dishes and is excellent. We would stay here again. Hotel is situated on a walking street but access can be gained to the hotel garage which is chargeable.
The garage is a challenge and arriving for the first time you need information on bringing a car into the vicinity of the hotel which I did not have.
It's central and comfortable Room was a bit small and the corridors are noisy
Location Closed distance to places of grait food. Extremely noisy at night at the end of the week
Staff were pleasant and hotel spa is great. There was alot of street noise in my room and found it difficult to sleep.
helpfull reception staff noisy air conditioning unit
location, restaurant noise in hall ways is very loud.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Commodities and services were never beyond the essentials, but adequate nonetheless. External looks of the building are downright ugly, from the outside it resembles more a hospital or daycare center.
Space, confort The services is targetted on long stay, with limited services (reception unmanned when arriving)
A modern hotel with very comfortable spacious rooms Hard to find, you have to know that it is near the new university
very clean, well maintained and excellent value for money
I appreciated the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. I also thought we received a decent price. I would prefer not to have to pay for cooking utensils.
Very modern room, very clean room, the staff was excellent, and the hotel is well located. Thank
Free parking and spacious rooms
Friendliness and help of the staff and cleanness of the room and bath
Great value for the money and very nice staff.
The room was nice, but poorly built. For example, the sink was loose, the tap in the kitchen was not attached to the sink, the lights were a bit unrealiable, flickering on and off. Also, the address that we were given for the hotel in the email was wrong, so that we had to call the hotel to adjust our GPS to be able to find the hotel. The ladies behind the desk in the lobby were good. The bread at breakfast was stale and the juice dispenser did not work.
Room was spacious with very comfortable beds. We had a front room overlooking the car park and had a good view of the surrounding countryside. The swimming pool, even though it had only a few loungers was welcome after a long drive. The free wifi had excellent speed. The hotel is in a quite area outside the city,great for a good nights sleep. It would assist if instructions on how to use the TV were posted in the room somewhere. You have to press a switch by the bed to get power to the TV and a second remote control to change channels. The dining area looked most unwelcoming and the girl at the bar seemed to have way too much to do in serving drinks and also looking after diners. We ate at the nearly Cortes de Leon hotel but I would not do so again. The food there was awful.
Easy to find, good views of country side
Very modern hotel, nice, spacious rooms, wifi works fine, staff is helpful and friendly.
Very nice, luxuary hotel. The swimming-pool was excellent! The staff was able to speak English which is quite rare in Spain. The breakfast was fine (is was not the truckers cafe as mentioned in other reviews!!!) The garden, as mentioned on your site as an area to walk, was not yet implemented. The location-info on booking.com was not very precise.
the buikding is frankly ugly
It was a very pleasant experience overall.
Staff very helpful
Comfortable,clean room. We spent the whole of September driving ,independently around Spain and Portugal,booking ahead each day on Priceline.ALL The hotels were clean,comfortable ,smart and good value,however this particular hotel stands out for having the haughtiest,curtest 'Madams' on reception that we encountered on the entire trip.Not a smile,welcoming comment or helpful remark was forthcoming from either the surly girl at reception when we arrived, nor from her clone the next morning.Clearly our presence was an inconvenience to both of them .
Very Comfortable I don't had the feeling of being in a 4 stars hotel, but in a nice 3 stars one.
That it was clean and conforfortable As stated above no room service.

Believers have a unique attribute not found in anyone else; for them, all things are for the best. They give thanks if they come across a blessing, and that is auspicious for them. And if they encounter a difficulty they are patient, and that is also auspicious for them. (Muslim, Zuhd, 64)
Since believers live in the spirit of submission to Allah under all circumstances, every moment of their lives is filled with delight, as described in the hadith. Since they give thanks for the beauties bestowed on them by Allah, their joy is far more intense than that of ordinary people. Praising Allah for the blessing they possess and offering Him their love makes believers still more joyful.
No difficulty created for them by Allah as a test leads to any reduction in their fervor. This may seem quite amazing to ordinary individuals, but believers still give thanks to Allah in such situations. Believers regard times of sickness, harsh living conditions or poverty, which may look like troubles, as opportunities, and they again exhibit a joyous devotion to Allah. Believers' fortitude under such circumstances is not a mere resignation to them. They actually experience the joy of knowing that Allah has created a circumstance requiring fortitude for them and rejoice over having encountered a blessing.
Since believers know that troubles and difficulties will hone their faith they regard them as blessings bestowed on them by Allah. Therefore, events that might appear to be difficulties when looked at superficially are actually blessings for believers able to reflect deeply on Allah.

Mounted easily on the rails and secured the kayak well. Very Solid. The only confusing part is remembering how the straps are fed, but after a few more uses that should become automatic. Highly recommend.

- This probably falls into the realm of fanfiction. It ended up being longer than I expected, and I apologize for that. Honestly, this is the kind of thing I think about when I'm not busy, and I just wanted to share. The game would be slightly different in that it wouldn't be as linear as the past games. The events between the characters happen roughly simultaneously, so the "correct" way to play through would be to alternate between characters, but the story plays out well either way. Also, switching every mission would probably be confusing to the player, as Dante and the new character would handle differently. In the continuity, this happens shortly before the events of DMC2. So, here's what I'd do:
- Please note! This idea has taken wing and flown to a new page: User:Anobi/My DMC Game. Updates, crunchy details, summaries, and cutscene transcripts are there. If you would like to add an idea, you may do so either in the comments below, or on the talk page for the "game."
The game opens up with a cutscene. We're learning about a high-profile murder trial that's ongoing, with the verdict only moments away. As the reporter explains the reported course of events, we get flashes of what actually happened: A young man, named Django Steele, is at a party. He's not your "nice" type of guy--he has tribal tattoos and a kick-ass sense of style--but he stumbles into a room where a large, insect-like demon has just killed a woman. There is gore everywhere. Django rushes in to try and save her, but the damage is done. Django is discovered in the room with the dead woman, and is astounded by the fact that the other people can't see the demon that is now hanging from the ceiling. Flashing back to the verdict, the jury finds him guilty, and the judge sentences him to death. Dante, of course, is watching.
Another cutscene, this time with Django being lead to the execution chamber. We learn, again through flashbacks, that Django's an orphan, and his only real friend in all of this has been his laywer. As Django closes his eyes to die, he feels a burning pain in his chest. He opens his eyes, and sees a cockroach-like demon stabbing him in the chest. The table he's on breaks, and then chaos erupts around him. Demons are everywhere, attacking everyone. He grabs the nearest thing--the demon on his chest--and begins to fight them off. He manages to escape the room only to find the prison overrun by demons. He quickly figures out that he's the only one who can see them. Before he can leave the compound, he's confronted by a massive, firey lizard.
Here starts the game. The first mission is a simple tutorial mission where you learn to control your character in the face of the massive fire-breathing lizard. You play through as Django initially. He comes equipped with a parking meter to start, but discards it after the second mission, when earns his first Devil Arm. He gets it after another fight with the flaming lizard, which I've named Salamander. Django is able to survive Salamander's scorching attacks, but it's Dante who jumps in to slay the monster. Dante offers Django the Salamander sword in exchange for the Rebellion, which Dante threw during the battle and Django picks up.
Salamander is Django's main weapon through the game. It is capable of spewing fire like a flamethrower, throwing fireballs, and (my personal favorite) transforming into a giant scissor, among other things!
Dante leaves to hunt down the source of the demons, leaving Django at a complete loss, but Lady shows up. (It could be a new character, too, I just picked Lady 'cuz I like her better.) She is trying to help Dante on his mission, but she can't see the demons. She teams up with Django to track down the reason why humans can't see demons. It's through her that Django learns who Dante is, and starts to suspect that he, too, is part demon.
Ok, now from here, we (the players) can choose to follow either Dante or Django's story. Django learns about demons and the history and all that good stuff. Along the way, he runs into his lawyer, and they get side-tracked in going to save his wife and kid.
Dante fights on, through other monsters n' stuff. He runs into one, a gigantic snake-like demon with hands growing out of his mouth named Python, who refuses to fight him. Dante expresses surprise that a powerful demon isn't trying to kill him for being the Son of Sparda, and Python replies that he is interested in other things, like alchemy. Python shows off his pride and joy, a device that makes things invisible to all but themselves. With it activated, and with a demon in the chamber, demons become invisible to everything except other demons. This is why only Dante and Django can see the demons. After some talking, Dante convinces Python to turn off the Chameleon, and Python decides to team up with Dante. He's a huge, massive thing, and Dante can help him by getting to components he wants, but are hidden in small areas. He sends Dante off on an errand to retrieve something he wants, promising to help Dante fight the Big Bad if Dante comes through for him.
Meanwhile, over in Django's arc, demons suddenly become visible, and people who hadn't been panicking are now panicking. There's a possible split here, too, where players can play as Lady. I haven't really give much thought to Lady's storyline, but suffice it to say that she goes her separate way to track down Dante, and Django keeps fighting to save his lawyer's family. They're safe, for now, but in trying to get away, they end up on top of a tall building and/or cliff. A demon manages to knock the lawyer's wife off the side, and she goes plummetting down. The lawyer can only watch in horror as she falls...
And a massive snake demon rises out of the ground to swallow her! Psych! It's Python, and he's actually saving her, but Django and the lawyer don't know that. Django rips apart the demon who knocked her off, and now he's going to track down the snake-demon. On his way down, though, an interesting thing happens: suddenly, the demons seem to be unaware of the remaining humans. It's almost as if the demons can't see them at all.
That's because Dante has convinced the lawyer's wife to become the core of the Chameleon device, to save the other humans. Dante then goes out to retrieve the item Python requested. There are more battles and fighting and stuff.
With Dante out on a fetch-quest, Python stays alone in his lair, where Django finds him. Django is in no mood to talk, and doesn't listen to Python. He fights the massive snake. Basically, the player is in a round room, with Python's coils around the sides of the room and his head dangling over the character like a chandelier. The object is to hack at Python's head, but his attacks include bites, head swipes, and a constrict attack that is largely unavoidable. Just before the battle can get fatal, Dante returns, and breaks up the fight. There's some talking before everyone is convinced that they're all on the same side. The lawyer find the courage to ask about his wife, and Python explains she's safe and sound.
Dante and Django leave the lawyer and his family in Python's lair, where they should be safe. Python, of course, can't see or hear them, so they have to stay in a specific place, where he won't accidentally hurt them. Although Dante tries to get Python to come with, Python declines leaving, saying he has too much work to do.
More battles lader, Dante and Django finally face down the Big Bad, a massive dragon-like demon named Nidhogg. It's huge, like The Savior huge, and just when it looks like they might not be able to stop it before it destroys the city, Python appears! Python lunges and wraps around Nidhogg, constricting him. He insists that Dante attack and kill Nidhogg, even if it means sacrificing his own life. Dante hesitates just long enough for Nidhogg to mortally wound Python, but ultimately does finish off Nidhogg with Django's help. As Python lays dying, he commends Dante for his strength, and states his intention to hand over his soul to Dante. Dante tries all the cliche "hold on, don't die!" lines, but Python's wounds are too great. He leaves his soul in the form of a great katana, Onikirimaru, (roughly "devil-cutting-blade"), to Dante. Dante cries and shouts out, "He was one of the good ones!" Afterwards, Dante takes up the Onikirimaru out of a sense of duty, and swears to use it to shut the demon portal.
Dante and Django move on from the fight with Nidhogg. They are able to find the massive hellgate, but just as Dante closes it, another enemy confronts them. It's not a demon, it's the judge that sentenced Django to death. Turns out, he's the one who has been summoning all the demons. He has some concocted reason for wanting demons to rule; truthfully I haven't given much thought to his motives. Maybe he has judged the entire human race guilty of everything, and sentences them all to death. I don't know. Anyway, more fighting ensues, possibly because the judge summons forth more demons, (like the other bosses already killed, go Capcom!) and a new ally appears--a blonde man in a snakeskin vest, weilding a set of gauntlets and greaves that can transform into whips and summon water...
Wait a minute, it's Python! In human form! Turns out, the item he sent Dante to get was the last piece in a very complicated alchemic ritual. He used his power to create the Devil Arm Onikirimaru, and disguised it to look like himself. He then focused his power into creating his signature weapons, which he also named after himself. The ritual, however, left him incredibly weak--as weak as a human. He loans Python (the weapon) to Django to finish off the now very powerful judge, which somehow allows Django to unlock his Devil Trigger.
In a strange twist, stopping the judge is all up to Django. The demon who has corrupted the judge is none other than Mundus, and he shows Dante that he still holds Vergil's soul captive. Dante dives into hell to stop Mundus and save his brother, once and for all. Epic boss battles play out in the two worlds--Django's in the human world and Dante's in the demon world. In the end, Dante manages to free Vergil, but the hole to the human world is too unstable for both of them to get out. Dante wraps Vergil in his coat, since Vergil doesn't have his blue one, and hands him Rebellion, basically telling him, "This will protect you, since that is my will." He then shoves Vergil through the portal, and the portal closes, trapping Dante in hell.
In the epilogue, "Dante" is woken up by Django, Python, and Lady. They don't realize he's really Vergil, and just kind of accept him back as Dante. It is learned that Django's conviction was overturned, Python now lives as a human and started a very successful pharmaceutical company, and "Dante" went on to his next adventure.
- The reason I have it end this way is because it offers the PERFECT explanation for Dante's personality change in DMC2. It also leaves the door open for another game, perhaps explaining how Vergil gets Yamato back, or how Dante comes back to the human world, or really just about anything. Also, as a bit of trivia, "Django" means "I awake" in another language, I think it's Romany, but I could be wrong. I thought that was very appropriate for the character.
Please note! This idea has taken wing and flown to a new page: User:Anobi/My DMC Game. Updates, crunchy details, summaries, and cutscene transcripts are there. If you would like to add an idea, you may do so either in the comments below, or on the talk page for the "game."
