SP Campground Review – Ridgway State Park, Ridgway, CO
A huge and lovely park by water and mountains in Ridgway CO.
Link to campground here: Ridgway State Park, Ridgway,CO
Link to map location here: Ridgway State Park, Ridgway,CO
- Site Quality = 3.5/5
This is a HUGE park with 3 separate campgrounds and over 250 sites. Overall there's good access and decent separation with a selection from full hookups to electric. All sites are large, asphalt and have lovely "sitting areas" with picnic table, fire-pit and grill. Both back-ins and pull-thoughs available (pull-thoughs tend to be nicer in my opinion). The only real"ding" is that some sites are rather unlevel, and the 2 campgrounds close to the road do get some road noise.
-> Elk Ridge = this campsite is set furthest away from the road (very quiet) up the mesa-top hill on the reservoir side of the park. There are some views of both the cimarron mountain ranges and the reservoir through the pinyon-juniper trees. Sites are slightly closer together than the other 2 campgrounds, but with bits of shade. Electric hookups only (30 Amp). A few very unlevel sites, but also some outstanding sites with panoramic views (best mountain views from#177, 179, 181, 184, 186 with some decent reservoir views from #82, 87, 89)
-> Dakota Terraces = this campground is on level with the reservoir and closer to the main road (thus some road noise). Sites are nicely separated, but with less trees than Elk Ridge. Some sites have excellent open views of both the lake and the mountains. Direct access to swim beach and water. Electric hookup only (30 Amp)
-> Pa-Co-Chu-Pak = this is a separate campground further north and below the reservoir dam (next to the river). Large and relatively flat sites. You do not have the open mountains views of the other two campgrounds here, but you do get full hookups (water/sewer/30Amp). Some road noise from sites closest to the highway.
- Facilities = 4.5/5
Very nice set of facilities here. There are flush toilets, large showers (only ding is that they are pay only, $1 for 4 mins), and modern laundry. Lots of additional facilities all around the park including picnic areas, swim beach, fishing pier, playground, and boating. On-site dump station at Dakota Terraces.
- Location = 5/5
This is a fabulous location. You are right next to a beautiful body of water with miles of hiking within the park, yet you are only a short jaunt from Ridgway (shopping, restaurants) and within easy drive of the entire Million Dollar Highway (Ouray, Mt. Sneffels Wilderness, etc.)
- Pet Friendliness = 5/5
Another great doggie spot. Lots of hiking trails, plus easy access to splash in the water especially from the Elk Ridge/Dakota Terrace campgrounds (from Elk Ridge take the Twin Fawn trail down to the water for a nice, secluded water play-area).
Overall Rating = 4.5
BONUS ALERT = Camp with views of water and mountains!
Summary: Ridgway is a huge State Park set in a lovely location right next to Ridgway reservoir at ~7000 feet and within view of the stunning Cimarron mountains. There are 3 campgrounds, 2 of which sit by the reservoir with electric only (Elk Ridge/Dakota Terraces) and one which sits below the dam by the river with full hookup (Pa-Co-Chu-Pak). In general sites are large and easily accessible with pull-throughs being the nicer of the lot. All have lovely "sitting areas" and a few on Elk Ridge/Dakota side have excellent views of the mountains and lake. We stayed at the highest campground (Elk Ridge) as it was furthest away from the road (and thus the quietest). Elk Ridge has a variety of sites from sparse to decent shade, a few nice views (see above), but also a selection of closer-spaced sites and some very uneven sites (we needed to jack up our back on blocks to get level). We thoroughly enjoyed the full range of facilities, miles of hiking and water access at the campground as well as the views. Also, the park was a great base to explore the Million Dollar Highway and surrounding mountains. You are half-way between the high mountains and the high desert of Western CO, so it does heat up here in summer. When we come back we'll probably stay again at either Elk Ridge or Dakota Terrace, but try to choose one of the more scenic sites.
Extra Info: Full Verizon signal at Elk Ridge campground. Sites cost $20/night for electric (30Amp), $24/night for full hook-up (Pa-Co-Chu-Pak only). There is an extra daily park fee of $7/day (can be covered with the Colorado Annual Parks Pass). Over 250 sites, all reservable. On site dump station at Dakota Terraces. On-site laundry.
Extra, Extra Info – BOONDOCKING: If you're brave enough to make the drive on the Million Dollar Highway (Hwy 550) there are a few boondocking spots along that stretch. We saw several rigs parked near the entrance to Ironton Park (milemarker 85) just off the highway. Next to Silverton there are apparently 2 popular (= might be crowded) boondocking spots; one east up by the old Eureka townsite and one west along the road to South Mineral NFS CG (we didn't visit either of these, but were told about them).
NOTE/ All of my site pics are from Elk Ridge Campground. You can get LOTS more pics of all 3 campgrounds from HERE

November 26, 2014
January 11, 2014
It was a day of celebration in Richmond as thousands gathered for the inauguration of Virginia's new Governor Terry McAuliffe.
The ceremony brought many politicians out including Governor Bob McDonnell, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton. McAuliffe was a former fundraiser for the Clintons.
Attorney General Mark Herring was first to be sworn in followed by Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam.
As Gov. Elect Terry McAuliffe raised his right hand, he became the 72nd Governor of Virginia.
Despite a wet start, as soon as Gov. Terry McAuliffe stood up to speak, the rain stopped and he began to speak on the future of the Commonwealth.
"As we begin this new term together, know that my top priority will be to lay the groundwork for a diverse and growing economy in every single region of the Commonwealth," says Gov. McAuliffe (D).
He also spoke about equal opportunities for everyone.
"An open and welcoming state is critical in a 21st century economy."
After his speech the celebration continued with a parade, which included the Charlottesville High School marching band. They were one of 10 bands chosen to participate.
The crowd was excited to hear words from their new governor and they are waiting to see how the next four years turn out with three new democrats in the capitol.
This is the first time in 24 years that Democrats have held the top statewide offices in Virginia.

Optimization Tips to Bolster Holiday Sales
Posted By Jeff Sexton On November 24, 2008 @ 8:28 am In Accountable Marketing,B2C,Checkout Process,Improving Conversion,Optimization Tactics,Website Optimization,e-commerce | 4 Comments
[1]Holidays or no holidays, there's simply less money to go around. [2]
As obvious as that statement is, many still seem to deny the equally obvious implication: you won't keep profit margins healthy unless you actively take business away from someone else – either from direct competitors, or from businesses outside your market/category. If the pumpkin pie gets smaller, you'll have to cut a fatter slice in order to get the same amount of holiday pie.
But how can you do that on the short term? With the holiday season upon us, what can you do right now to ensure window shoppers actually buy from you (instead of someone else)?
Watch this video [3] and take a hard look at how you can improve your websites with holiday focused Point-of-Action assurances.
Then read this article to get 10 outstanding "must do" action items [4]. Some of them will take longer than others, but many of the earlier recommendations could be executed so as to yield results for the Christmas and holiday seasons.
Plus, don't forget to register for our upcoming webinar tomorrow [5] so you can leverage Google's Quality Score – the Secret Factor to PPC Success [6] for your holiday pay per click campaigns.

Book Description:
Although Hannah Arendt is not primarily known as a Jewish thinker, she probably wrote more about Jewish issues than any other topic. As a young adult in Germany, she wrote about German Jewish history. After moving to France in 1933, she helped Jewish youth immigrate to Palestine. During her years in Paris, her principle concern was the transformation of antinomianism from prejudice to policy, which would culminate in the Nazi "final solution." After France fell, Arendt escaped from an internment camp and made her way to America. There she wrote articles calling for a Jewish army to fight the Nazis. After the war, she supported the creation of a Jewish homeland in a binational (Arab-Jewish) state of Israel.Arendt's original conception of political freedom cannot be fully grasped apart from her experience as a Jew. In 1961 she attended Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem. Her report, Eichmann in Jerusalem, provoked an immense controversy, which culminated in her virtual excommunication from the worldwide Jewish community. Today that controversy is the subject of serious re-evaluation, especially among younger people in the United States, Europe, and Israel.The publication of The Jewish Writings–much of which has never appeared before–traces Arendt's life and thought as a Jew. It will put an end to any doubts about the centrality, from beginning to end, of Arendt's Jewish experience.

…is something 99,9% (all, besides Apple) of tech companies wish they had. Seriously people, get your "analyst" heads out of where the sun never shines…
Anyhow, to sum it up:
- Profits rose by 20% to 8.8 billion
- Sales came in at 35 billion
- Gross margin was at 42.8%
- International sales made up 62%
- 26 million iPhones, 17 million iPads, and 4 million Macs sold to customers – in three months
Apple will pay a dividend starting in mid-August of USD 2.65 per common share.
The forecast by Peter Oppenheimer (CFO) for the forth quarter is 34 billion in sales.

November 26, 2014
DENVER (AP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to hear an appeal of a Colorado ruling that bars abortion protesters from displaying graphic images of aborted fetuses in places where they might upset children.
The order stems from a 2005 protest in which Kenneth Scott and others protested near an outdoor Palm Sunday service at Denver's Saint John's Cathedral.
According to the Denver Post, protesters who disagreed with the Episcopal church's stance in favor of abortion rights shouted while displaying large images of aborted fetuses.
The church sued Scott and a court order was issued that banned him from displaying the images. The order bans Scott and other protesters from displaying the images only near the Denver church.

CEBU, Philippines (AP) - A 7.2-magnitude earthquake killed at least 32 people across the central Philippines on Tuesday, toppling buildings and historic churches and sending terrified residents into deadly stampedes.
Panic ensued as people spilled out on the street after the quake struck at 8:12 a.m. It was centered about 33 kilometers (20 miles) below the town of Carmen on Bohol Island, where many buildings collapsed, roads cracked up and bridges fell.
Extensive damage also hit densely populated Cebu city, across a narrow strait from Bohol, causing deaths when a building in the port and the roof of a market area collapsed.
The quake set off two stampedes in nearby cities. When it struck, people gathered in a gym in Cebu rushed outside in a panic, crushing five people to death and injuring eight others, said Neil Sanchez, provincial disaster management officer. Eighteen others were injured in a scramble to get out of a shaking office building in another city.
At least 16 people died in Bohol and 15 in Cebu, officials said. Scores were injured.
"We ran out of the building, and outside, we hugged trees because the tremors were so strong," said Vilma Yorong, a provincial government employee in Bohol.
"When the shaking stopped, I ran to the street and there I saw several injured people. Some were saying their church has collapsed," she told The Associated Press by phone.
As fear set in, Yorong and the others ran up a mountain, afraid a tsunami would follow the quake. "Minutes after the earthquake, people were pushing each other to go up the hill," she said.
But the quake was centered inland and did not cause a tsunami.
Offices and schools were closed for a national holiday - the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha - which may have saved lives. The earthquake also was deeper below the surface than the 6.9-magnitude temblor last year in waters near Negros Island, also in the central Philippines, that killed nearly 100 people.
Aledel Cuizon said the quake that caught her in her bedroom sounded like "a huge truck that was approaching and the rumbling sound grew louder as it got closer."
She and her neighbors ran outside, where she saw concrete electric poles "swaying like coconut trees." It lasted 15-20 seconds, she said.
Cebu city's hospitals quickly evacuated patients in the streets, basketball courts and parks.
Cebu province, about 570 kilometers (350 miles) south of Manila, has a population of more than 2.6 million people. Cebu is the second largest city after Manila. Nearby Bohol has 1.2 million people and is popular among foreigners because of its beach and island resorts and the Chocolate Hills.
Many roads and bridges were reported damaged, but historic churches dating from the Spanish colonial period suffered the most. Among them is the country's oldest, the 16th-century Basilica of the Holy Child in Cebu, which lost its bell tower.
Nearly half of a 17th-century limestone church in Loboc town, southwest of Carmen, was reduced to rubble.
President Benigno Aquino III said he would travel to Bohol and Cebu on Wednesday.
Regional military commander Lt. Gen. Roy Deveraturda said that he recalled soldiers from the holiday furlough to respond to the quake. He said it damaged the pier in Tagbilaran, Bohol's provincial capital, and caused some cracks at Cebu's international airport but that navy ships and air force planes could use alternative ports to help out.
Passenger flights resumed later Tuesday after officials checked runways and buildings for damage.

I bet it will be that too...
by Sedsey
myNHL has no credibility. Their Tankers have been completely exposed for what some of us have known them to be for years. Now the voice all around the league are noticing, but still they will get their usual favortism. They'll throw the book at Asham because he is a less important player, but Neal will get a wrist slap.
They sanctioned the knee on knee submarine hits from the Tankers late in the season, and now they will sanction intent to injure the head with these rulings.
If Hartnell did the exact same thing to Crybaby Suckhole and Baby Huey, he'd get the playoffs and ten games.
Neal will get one to pay lip service to the big push to "clean up the game".
This is why I want the return of player policing. The cheap shot artists and divers rule in this environment and teams are reducing to wailing children running for their parents as they do nothing on the ice and call for suspensions.
The Tankers are exposed, from top to bottom. Their coach, with a rep for fair play...exposed. Their superstars exposed as whining, crying, diving, cheap shot artists who suckhole and moan when not given their way. Their owner a hypocrite who threatened to quit the leageu unless his team was protected, now silent.
They are everything I say they are. They are exposed. They cannot hide now. But, myNHL will still protect them...watch.

WAYNESFIELD ŌĆö An issue over selecting new employee health benefits seemed to be finally settled only after a flurry of questions resulted in an Auglaize County villageŌĆÖs elected officials postponing the decision temporarily once again.
After a Waynesfield Village Council Finance Committee meeting earlier this month, committee members came to MondayŌĆÖs council meeting ready to make a recommendation to switch insurance providers and go with a plan from Derryberry & Davis Insurance of Wapakoneta. According to the committeeŌĆÖs review of the new plan, employees would enjoy the same coverage they currently have at an 80/20 co-insurance level. The only difference in the plan was that employees would have a $1,600 cost per insured person a savings of approximately $400 per person compared to last year.
A medical expense reimbursement plan (MERP) would also be implemented. With the MERP plan, the employer has a pre-defined benefit limit. The MERP plan would only have employer contributions and the village would keep the funds if not used. According to information provided to the council from Derryberry, even if all people insured maxed out, the village would still save a minimum $6,191 per year.
However, after further review, councilors found what they felt may be discrepancies in the plan and wanted further clarification before approving the
To add to the concerns, Waynesfield Village Councilor Cheryl Jerew expressed a concern over what village employees are currently paying out of pocket for insurance coverage.
Jerew said employees are currently paying approximately 4 percent of their insurance premium, and she provided information showing other villages providing an average of 15 to 20 percent. While Waynesfield employees also still had eye and dental insurance, many of the other villages still did not.
ŌĆ£The economy isnŌĆÖt getting any better,ŌĆØ Jerew said. ŌĆ£There are alot of tax dollars getting ate up by insurance premiums. I think there are alot of people who wouldnŌĆÖt be happy if they knew alot of the 1 percent income tax is getting ate up by insurance benefits.ŌĆØ
Before discussion ended, Village Administrator Fred Rowe and Jerew exchanged words on the issue.
Jerew ultimately closed the conversation by telling Rowe, ŌĆ£I think you are trying to put words in my mouth and I donŌĆÖt appreciate it.ŌĆØ
Councilor Chris Kaufman said he felt it was hard to justify raising the premiums.
ŌĆ£I think it is hard to justify raising the premiums when we lowered the costs (of the new plan),ŌĆØ Kaufman said.
However, all of the councilors agreed that further information was pertinent before making a final decision.
Councilors scheduled a special meeting for Aug. 25 at 7:30 to finalize the deal. At the meeting, they plan to have Jon Derryberry from Derryberry & Davis address questions to the plan.
In other business, Rowe told councilors that the village is now ready to explore the possibility of natural gas to village consumers. Rowe has been in communications with Vectron and said they are now in a position to take the next step of gathering data and cost analysis.
ŌĆ£I am very encouraged by this,ŌĆØ Rowe said. ŌĆ£I think this is something that could be essential to the quality of life for the people of the village when you consider the price of propane and electric.ŌĆØ
Rowe will continue to gather information on the possibilities and bring information to the council, he said.

Super Meat Boy is one of the year's best games, an amazing celebration of old school platforming that we gave a 9. If you intend to finish it, you're going to need to sharpen all the skills you've learned over the years playing Mario, Mega Man, Ghost 'n' Goblins, Castlevania, and all their old school brothers. SMB really has what made the platformers of yore great: incredibly tight controls mixed with ingenious and increasingly difficult level design.
And even though Meat Boy pays enough reverence to the past just by being classically great, the icing on top of the delicious, red velvet, SMB cake is all the respect the game pays to titles of the past more directly. Whether it's a cleverly animated cutscene, level layout, or the onscreen HUD, SMB recognizes its legacy. But maybe you were too tied up in playing the very demanding title to notice everything. Well don't worry, we were taking notes for you.
WARNING: This article contains some big spoilers, including the end of the game. You've been warned.
Some of the easiest references to spot in the game come at the start of each world. When you pick a set of level from the seven total worlds, you're treated to a cute cartoon. All are pretty funny on their own, but each is playing off an intro to a classic game. Now most 8-bit fanboys probably caught a couple, but now you'll understand all of them.
World 1
We're no fans of hitting girls, but Dr. Fetus punching Bandage Girl in the face as Meat Boy watches is so shocking and unexpected we just had to laugh. As the screen panned up to reveal the title and tell us to insert a coin, it quickly dawned on us that it was referring to the intro to the original arcade version of Street Fighter II. That old intro is so strange now, as it features none of the marquee SF characters, instead just a couple nondescript dudes in combat.
World 2
As Meat Boy heads to his next set of levels, The Hospital, he's in for the creepiest collection of levels in the game. It's only fitting that when Meat Boy arrives at the gate, after following Dr. Fetus with Bandage Girl in tow, that the opening would reenact the start of the first Castlevania.
World 3
The longest intro of the group, World 3's took a little while to figure out, as it references one of the oldest titles from HAL, the creators of Kirby. The game, Adventures of Lolo, was a cute NES puzzle game that has a simple plot of girlfriend abduction similar to SMB's. All that was needed was to replace circles with meaty squares and you've got yourself an intro parody.
World 4
This one was pretty easy, as anyone who saw the intro to NES Ninja Gaiden back in the day could never forget it. It was dense with story compared to other action games of the day and felt incredibly cinematic at the time. And just like in the original, our hero falls to the villain, though SMB adds the bit about kicking him down to Hell.
World 5
World 5, taken on a shot for shot basis, probably has the weakest connection to what it's parodying. Though the scroll up the building reminds us of the Mega Man 2 start, it isn't that close in our opinion, at least compared to the other intros. Still, we love any excuse to play some the greatest music in gaming history.

So, while we haven't named the winner in the Lovie vs. The Valentines Rock 'n' Rumble (expect results very soon – or, you know, look at the comments), we do have news about The Valentines. Specifically, the band changed its name to The Fieros. Does the name change make the band more 'fierce'? Not ... More >>

Vikings-Jets Matchup Perfect For Primetime?Posted by on April 13, 2010 – 7:37 am
For the 2nd consecutive week, a marquee player in the NFL has been traded and it's had aftereffects that impact the Vikings.
Last week the Philadelphia Eagles shipped 6-time Pro Bowl QB Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins – the Vikings play both the Eagles and Redskins in 2010.
This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes to the NY Jets – the Vikings won't play Pittsburgh in 2010 but they will visit the Jets at some point during the 2010 regular season. In a loss to the Steelers last season, the Vikings held Holmes to just 2 receptions for 59 yards and no TDs.
The trade represents yet another notable addition for the Jets offense after they signed free agent RB LaDainian Tomlinson earlier this offseason. There are also reports that the Jets are in talks with free agent DE Jason Taylor, who played with the Miami Dolphins in 2009.
What we don't know is if these additions will help improve the Jets for 2010. While the players added – Holmes, Tomlinson and potentially Taylor – are certainly big-time names, they are also question marks. Tomlinson was released by the San Diego Chargers and will be 31 when the season starts, Holmes has been suspended 4 games by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy and Taylor will be entering his 14th season.
But what we do know is that all of the Jets offseason activity plus the fact they appeared in the AFC title game in 2009, paired with the high-profile nature of the Vikings following their appearance in the NFC title game, makes the Vikings-Jets matchup in 2010 an intriguing one that might be worth showcasing on a unique stage…such as a Thanksgiving night game in New York.
