Construction Update
Posted: August 22, 2012 Filed under: News Comments OffConstruction project is progressing well at the bowl. The foundation walls to the training room addition are poured and ready for backfilling. Power to the scoreboard/video board should be restored today or tomorrow. Roof trusses are being installed on the storage building this morning.
This week's events are soccer related. The Upper SW and East ticket booths will be available for the Bismarck Public School events. The Upper SW ticket booth will be available for the St. Mary's and BSC events. No patron admission will be allowed at the lower SW gate. The city lot on the south side of Edwards Avenue can be used for "Event Parking". The lower SW Parking lot can only be used for parking by officials, game management, buses, coaches and bowl staff. No athlete parking is permitted in this parking lot. Locker rooms will be available for athlete use prior to events this week. Only the west doors of the locker room can be used. The north bleachers are closed this week due to construction and the lack of restrooms on the north side. Please inform your booster groups and athletes. Hopefully appropriate signage will be ready for posting in all necessary areas by tomorrow.
This past week scrimmages went quite well. Patrons attending the events were advised the No Outside Food & Beverages cannot be brought into the facility. Folks were very understanding, we need to continue the communication. I will be visiting with the Bismarck Tribune giving them a weekly update of activities and gates that will be used for specific events.

I just bought a case of these, expensive as they are in Australia, for the very reason that they were fresh (i.e. had been delivered that day) and I wanted to know if it's shelf life in Australian bottle shops that causes the difference in taste of this ale between Yorkshire and Australia, or if it's the shipping.
Conclusive result: it's the waves shaking up the bottles that give this beer its deeper, more harshly bitter hop taste after it's travelled a long way from Keighley.
I've reviewed this many times before, on and off BA. All I'm going to say this time is that this is still my world-favourite beer, but anyone who doesn't like it hasn't consumed it in England. The closer you get to the brewery, the better it gets.
Pity it doesn't travel that well... but it's still great.

a strong pale ale at just over 4% abv? not sure if that really flies, but its more of a classic bitter anyways, a well hopped and very clean beer, especially for the style. radiant bronze color with a fluffy off white head an inch high in my wine glass. the nose here is bittering hops, some golding varietal i would guess, and a sturdy pale malt base. the flavor isnt quite as nice as the nose though, very little real hop flavor, but the bitterness is there. the malt really flavors the beer for the most part, slightly stale cereals as we are accustomed to in english pales and bitters, and its all well put together and fairly priced for sure, but there is a finish to this i just dont care for, intense minerality or copper flavor, taste like a handful of coins, unflattering, and with the bitterness is a bit yucky, especially when the beer warms up. but as the style goes, this is one of the better examples that makes it to our shores. medium bodied but real easy drinking still. reminds me of a grey day in london.

3.96/5 rDev -4.1%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Its with soothing malt sweetness and an elegant floral hop character that this distinctive ale carries fruity undertones and a crisp character that's satisfying with every drink. But here's a look deeper...
The unadulterated ale pours with a rich honey-amber color, equipped with an unfiltered and yeasty haze. With glimmers of golden highlights peaking through, the ale releases a creamy ivory-white head to cap the beer sturdily, retains 'til the final sips and trails with sunken rings of lace. Its a standard and prompt appearance.
Its delicate sweetness invites floral and fruity aromatics as the nose reaches deep within the glass. Its malty underpinnings ground the scent with medium caramel, biscuit, light bread crust and the nuttiness of pecan and cashew. Slight earthiness is mildly tobacco-like but is more so woody and herbal.
Its mostly malty, but slightly grainy taste is a testament to the beer's genuine rustic character. Malty-sweet to start, the beer kicks off with caramel, cookie dough and aspartame but then morphs into a marmalade-type fruitiness before weaving into a toasted character of bread crust, cashew and pecan before trailing with earthy tobacco, light earthen spice and tea-like herbs in its modestly bitter finish.
Medium-bodied the ale is classic with its malty-dry tendencies even on the front of the palate. Its light carbonation allows the weight of sweetness to rest comfortably against the tongue before finishing with minty warmth, minerally crispness and mild grain-derived astringency.
Its a delicious beer that sings the classic praise of British ale. Anyone who bellies up to a British bar and orders such Pale Ale as this will be greatly rewarded and satisfied.

A solid, flavoursome, session beer.
aroma: fruity/citrus mixed with malt. Restrained but pleasant.
taste: fruity/citrus palate which is well balanced with malt. Has some earthy/mineral notes along with some pepper/spice in the finish.
Great fruity/malt combination that goes well when drinking with a meal.

Timothy Taylor Landlord has a very thick, spongy, beige head, a clear, extremely bubbly, amber appearance, and heavy lacing rings left on the sides of the glass. The aroma is of sweet, toasted bread crust and toffee, and the taste is of toffee, slight caramel, sweet, medium-roasted malt, and a mellow hop bitterness, which picks up in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium, slick, and soft, and Timothy Taylor Landlord finishes semi-dry, refreshing, and very drinkable. Overall, I really like this. NOTE: bottle labeled only as "Pale Ale", not "Strong".

3.35/5 rDev -18.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
Bottle: standard 500mL brown bottle. I'm sure there is a lot of history behind the label, but I can't help but think it looks like a tacky, home drawn 'old boys' label that makes the beer look a bit cheap.
Appearance: pours a mid golden-amber colour with minimal carbonation. A small head pops up and settles to a flimsy cap. Great lacing - all together, it looks pretty decent but not mind-blowing.
Aroma: really not much here - a touch of English hops and some sweet malts. A bit surprised, considering the high priase from the Brits - perhaps it has suffered some on the trip over?
Taste: again comes through with a nice sweet malt and a touch of earthen and forest characteristics. Not as complex as I had expected, but certainly a very quaffable beer.
Aftertaste: the malt and earthen flavours linger for a short time, with a hint of hops bitterness.
Mouth feel: a moderate body with a low to medium carbonation.
Overall: after seeing the massive amount of love for this beer, I have to admit I was a bit let down. It isn't a bad English Pale, but I certainly wouldn't say it was full in flavour and not all that complex. Worth one every now and then, but at a cost of $90 a case ain't worth it.

Hi Guys,
I love the shape of the fish boards and have noticed they all seem to have wicked volume. At what point can you drop from say a 7ft 3" mini-mal to somethign like a late 6ft fish?
Im still very much learning but like to look at stuff on ebay and online as my moeny burns holes in my pockets. My current board is ok but a bit onf a dinger. I bought it for £100, did some crap repairs on it and have put a huge trench sized dent in the middle. Im hoping to get out at least twice a month for a minimum full day or weekend surf prevailing. Am I likely to be in a position where I can transition nicely to a fish come Jan/Feb next year?

MORRISVALE - With enough paint, sand, sweat and WD-40, old things become new again in Danny Hill's garage.
Be it a gumball machine, drive-in movie speakers, a vintage refrigerator or tabletop jukebox, Hill, 60, uses skills he earned from years of fixing up cars to make these antiques look and work like new.
His garage is a grease monkey's dream. The outside is covered with vintage signs for Exxon, Firestone, Pennzoil and Shell, alongside forgotten names like Wolf's Head Oil and Lube, Pennzip, Esso and Sinclair.
The collection only becomes more impressive inside, where Hill has more vintage signs, some 30 years old but never used, along with old road signs and traffic lights, three unrestored "Smokey and the Bandit" Pontiac Trans Ams, a 2003 Mustang Cobra and a Thundering Herd-themed dune buggy.
A trained eye will spot less noticeable treasures. Look around the shop and you'll see old gas pump parts, hand-cranked air compressors, service station oil dispensers, patinaed parking meters and domed light fixtures from old filling stations.
They don't look very impressive now, but with a few weeks of work, Hill can turn these hunks of rusted metal into showpieces worthy of the world's finest man caves.
Hill, a retired diesel mechanic, came upon this hobby by accident.
About two years ago, he purchased his first gas pump on eBay for $300, intending to fix it up to keep around his garage. But once the pump was finished, a friend asked to buy it. So Hill bought another pump. Then he bought another, and another, and another.
Before long, the front room of his garage was filled with gas pumps. When his wife gently suggested the obsession might be getting out of hand, Hill admitted she was right and started selling off his finished works to pay for new projects.
He has now completed 25 gas pump restorations, but he's far from finished. There are seven pumps in his shop waiting to be restored, and he's heading to Indianapolis in a few weeks to buy even more.
'Do it the right way'
Hill is currently working on a Gulf pump from the 1940s. As he does with all new projects, he has stripped the pump to its frame so he can make sure the inner workings are in good shape.
Vintage gas pumps calculated each purchase using a computer, although not the kind with a motherboard or DVD drive. It's more like a complicated clock, driven by gears and cogs.
Hill won't continue a project if the computer doesn't work. They are too complicated for him to fix, and he doesn't want a pump to leave the shop without working properly.
If a computer's numbers are stuck in place when it arrives at Hill's shop, he remedies the problem by spraying WD-40 into the machine over and over. The computer usually breaks free after a few days. If it doesn't, the project is dead.
"If that doesn't work, I don't go any further," he said.

Species-Reactivity |
Human |
CST's PathScan® Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) protein. A EGF Receptor Mouse mAb has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, both phospho- and nonphospho-EGF Receptor proteins are captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) Rabbit mAb is added to detect the captured phospho-EGF Receptor protein. Anti-rabbit IgG, HRP-linked Antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate, TMB, is added to develop color. The magnitude of optical density for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) protein.
Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.
Specificity / Sensitivity
CST's PathScan® Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) Sandwich ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr 1068) protein. As shown in Figure 1, using the Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) ELISA Kit #7240, a significant induction of Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) in A-431 cells treated with EGF is detected. However, levels of total EGF Receptor (phospho and non-phospho) detected by PathScan® Total EGF Receptor Sandwich ELISA Kit #7250, remain unchanged (Figure 1).
This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
ELISA - Western correlation
Figure 1: Treatment of A431 cells with EGF stimulates phosphorylation of EGF Receptor at Tyr1068, detected by PathScan® Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) Sandwich ELISA kit #7240, but does not affect the level of total EGF Receptor detected by PathScan® Total EGF Receptor Sandwich ELISA kit #7250. OD 450 nm readings are shown in the top figure, while the corresponding Western blot using Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) Antibody #2234 (right panel) or EGF Receptor Antibody #2232 (left panel), is shown in the bottom figure.
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that belongs to the HER/ErbB protein family. Ligand binding results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, activation of downstream signaling, internalization, and lysosomal degradation (1,2). Phosphorylation of EGF receptor (EGFR) at Tyr845 in the kinase domain is implicated in stabilizing the activation loop, maintaining the active state enzyme, and providing a binding surface for substrate proteins (3,4). c-Src is involved in phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr845 (5). The SH2 domain of PLCγ binds at phospho-Tyr992, resulting in activation of PLCγ-mediated downstream signaling (6). Phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr1045 creates a major docking site for the adaptor protein c-Cbl, leading to receptor ubiquitination and degradation following EGFR activation (7,8). The GRB2 adaptor protein binds activated EGFR at phospho-Tyr1068 (9). A pair of phosphorylated EGFR residues (Tyr1148 and Tyr1173) provide a docking site for the Shc scaffold protein, with both sites involved in MAP kinase signaling activation (2). Phosphorylation of EGFR at specific serine and threonine residues attenuates EGFR kinase activity. EGFR carboxy-terminal residues Ser1046 and Ser1047 are phosphorylated by CaM kinase II; mutation of either of these serines results in upregulated EGFR tyrosine autophosphorylation (10).

Welcome Message
First Selectman Edward Haberek, Jr.
It is my pleasure as Stonington's First Selectman, to welcome you to our Town of Stonington website.
The Town of Stonington shares an eclectic heritage with its 18,000 plus residents. Within the 42.7 square miles of the community you find a modern day blend of history, technology, and recreation. Toss in a major economic engine called tourism, place it against a scenic backdrop of sunlit, coastal waters, with plentiful wildlife, and then, surround it with similarly striving communities and businesses. Day to day, Stonington is an ideal place to have a business, build a home and make a life of it.
Stonington was incorporated when the earliest settlers to the area arrived from the Plymouth colony in 1649. Originally a trading post on the Pawcatuck River, Stonington was later claimed by Massachusetts and named Southertown. Connecticut Governor John Winthrop, Jr. obtained the charter for the Colony of Connecticut in 1662 from England which set the boundaries to include the town, and the General Court first changed the name to Mystic in 1665. In 1666, the name was changed to Stonington.
Our culture in Stonington includes a unique sophisticated appeal with a small town New England charm. Stonington comprises a number of villages including Pawcatuck, Stonington Borough, Lords Point, Wequetequock and the eastern halves of Mystic and Old Mystic. We are properly situated between the metropolitan cities of New York City and Boston. Conveniently, our town is right off Interstate 95 which provides easy access for travelers, residents and our businesses. Stonington is an extraordinary town that thrives on innovative industry, preservation of our scenic beauty and embracing our historical heritage.
Please take time to look over our website and visit our town which features tree lined village streets with quaint shops and excellent restaurants. Stonington is an exciting place to be and we hope you visit to get a sense of how proud we are of it.

Central Washington Wins NW College 7s |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens |
Paced by the speed of All American Tim Stanfill and with power up front and outstanding teamwork, Central Washington defeated all-comers to take their second-straight Northwest Collegiate Rugby 7s Championships Sunday at Memorial Stadium in Seattle. Playing under the shadow of the Space Needle (one of the most elegant-looking buildings in the USA), and next to the huge Experience Music Project (easily one of the country's ugliest structures), CWU decided to emulate the Space Needle and put in a clinic on timeless rugby tenets. The nine-team competition featured three pools of three teams. In Pool A CWU won easily, beating Washington 47-10 (seven tries by seven different players), and Washington State 24-0. "All skills all players," said Stanfill, who would end up with seven tries on the day, leading the tournament. "We stick to our plan and how we play, and we use everybody, and we do well." In Pool C, Western Washington showed huge improvement over last year. Despite being a largely player-coached team, the Vikings surprised Idaho, which had started the day with a good victory, beating the Vandals 29-12. They then shut out University of Puget Sound 36-0 to win their pool. It was a little more confusing in Pool B. Oregon State, paced by hardworking prop Mitchell Farghar and some good teamwork beat Oregon 17-5. But they were upended by Eastern Washington, in part due to a disallowed try early on that the Beavers thought they had. Eric Popolus led EWO to the 17-14 win, but were then upset by Oregon 20-12 in their last game. "You can't go in thinking you're going to roll over anybody," said Popolus. "We did that and even when we subbed in some guys it didn't matter – Oregon had the momentum. We learned a lesson." Spencer Ams scored two tries for Oregon in that game. That left all three teams at 1-1. The first tiebreaker was points scored, and that left Oregon State on top, with Eastern Washington 2nd and Oregon 3rd. EWU made the semifinals, along with OSU, CWU and WWU, thanks to being the top 2nd-place team (once again thanks to the most points tiebreaker). In the consolation semis, Idaho upset Oregon 7-5, while Washington exacted revenge for their earlier loss to Washington State, defeating the Cougars 19-7. Scrumhalf Justin Santos was a revelation, showing great pace and finally realizing something many players seemed to forget – that the space outside the football sidelines at Memorial Stadium was still field of play for rugby, which used the wide soccer sidelines. Santos used that space to run in two tries against WSU, and three against Idaho to win the Huskies the Plate. In the Cup semis, Eastern Washington scored early on Central, but CWU then exploded for 40 unanswered points. "Sometimes the good test of a team is how they respond to something like that, and the guys responded really well," said CWU Head Coach Bob Ford. "We have some very good athletes and good rugby players, and they played the system and played as a team. It was a team effort." Patrick Blair was outstanding for CWU, putting in some big tackles, working hard in the breakdown, and making smart passes. "He's a very unselfish player, and we need players like that," said Ford. In the final, Central met Western Washington. WWU battled Oregon State in one of the more exciting games of the day. Colin Moy, who had an excellent tournament, broke through for the key score. Pat Phelps filled the Patrick Blair role for Western, doing all the work, and sometimes slotting in at hooker and sometimes as first receiver. His playmaking was solid, and his defense created scoring opportunities. "We came out a little slow against Oregon State," said Phelps. "A lot of our core captains – we don't have a coach right now, while Adam Roberts has helped with our 7s team – have worked really hard to get us play better. It's hard to change from 15s to 7s, and it's very tiring. But the guys worked hard. After each game we go over what we need to fix and build on what we did." In the final, Central was again under pressure early. Western looked to have scored, but were held up – a very unpopular decision among the fans. After that Central rebounded. Josh Bower had his best game of the tournament and scored two early tries, while freshman Tanner Barnes impressed with his fearless defense and opportunistic running. "He's a very good young player and we're very excited to have him," said Ford. As the game went on Central took control. Stanfill, Alex Reher and finally Jacob Bates all scored, while Western managed one try late. Central dominated, but the standard improved throughout the competition. Even 9th-place University of Puget Sound showed flashes, especially from snappy scrumhalf Chris Rouse. Rouse didn't make the all-tournament team, but he, Idaho's Vrontamitis, Oregon's Ams, Eastern's Eric Popolus, OSU's Farghar, and Washington State's Ben Bellmont all played extremely well. "This went very well," said NCRC President Matt Hudson. "I think we're going to look at devoting more of the fall to 7s in the Northwest. We can have a series of tournaments, in the East and the West, and in Oregon, culminating in this championship. It makes a lot of sense for these teams, and the players love it." All Tournament Team:

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision by the Oklahoma Supreme Court that invalidated a state anti-abortion statute.
The state's highest court ruled in December that the anti-abortion law was ``facially unconstitutional'' and that a lower court judge was right to prevent its enforcement. The law restricted the off-label use of certain abortion-inducing drugs, such as RU-486.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Senate has approved the creation of a special drought-relief fund to aid the state's agricultural community during times of drought emergency.
The full Senate voted without objection to create the fund that would be overseen by the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. However, there was no funding mechanism included in the bill, and any money deposited into it would come from direct appropriations from the Legislature.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Members of a state task force created after the deadly shooting at a Connecticut elementary school have submitted five recommendations for legislative action to help prevent similar attacks in Oklahoma.
A judge in Alabama has blocked the state's governor from signing a school choice bill, after a lawsuit alleged that lawmakers bypassed state rules when they substantially revised the legislation in committee. The vote to pass the bill last week was marked by confusion, anger, and accusations of "sleaziness" and "hypocrisy," as AL.com reported.
Here was the scene last week, as the bill's backers sought to end debate and hold a vote:

Economists look at many tea leaves as they try to determine the health of the economy. One of the most important surrounds vehicle sales, and more specifically pickup truck sales, which are tied to the construction industry. And as last month's sales rose 18 percent, the auto industry is betting big on a real estate rebound.
It's arguable that the Ford F-150 is the most important vehicle to come out of Detroit since the Model-T. It's also built where many parts for the old Model-T were made in Dearborn, Mich.

A break down of who buys and what exactly sells at the U.S. Treasury bond auctions.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed over into record territory Tuesday morning and kept going. At midday it was up nearly 150 points and well over its previous high of 14,164, set in October of 2007. The composition of the Dow has changed a lot since then.
When former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush got to work on his new book on immigration, he was expected to be out in front of his party urging a broader conversation with Hispanics and more open legislation. After all, he had previously supported a pathway to citizenship for immigrants here illegally. Instead, it's fellow Florida Republican Marco Rubio in the lead, and Bush who's explaining an apparent reversal on the issue of citizenship. Both are likely candidates for president in 2016.
Joining us now to talk about what comes next is NPR's Tom Gjelten. He's covered Latin America for us.
And, Tom, Hugo Chavez, such a dominating figure in Venezuela. What happens now in the immediate aftermath of his death?

text: As a big fan of Mark Millar's comic, I was extremely skeptical when I heard they were turning Kick-Ass into a movie. The final issue of the first volume wasn't even released yet and I was certain it would be toned down by Hollywood. Thankfully, Vaughn's masterpiece slapped me in the face and proved my concerns were totally unwarranted. I left the theater completely awe-struck and amazed at how well he translated the edgy comic to a wide audience without making sacrifices to hinder the content. Hit Girl was still the foul-mouthed agent of death and Nicolas Cage's take on Big Daddy made any Adam West fan laugh-out-loud. Kick-Ass pays respect to its comic book counter-part by being every bit as bloody and hilarious as Millar's content and left me wanting to watch the movie again and again. Simply put, Kick-Ass kicks ass, and you're missing out if you haven't watched this epic film.

Lava Hot Springs, Idaho
Mary's Place
[ 7/10 ]
As far as Lava goes, Mary's place is a decent place to stay, if not the best RV park in Lava Hot Springs. Due to the draw of the pools, RV's pay a premium to stay in Lava. To sum this park up, it is a large grassy area with mature trees. The spots are very close. The hookups are older but seemed to work well for us. The staff was accommodating, not super friendly. The entrance to the park is a single lane road and can be tricky as you cross the river. We had cars trying to go around us as the line to check in pushed us back a ways. Once checked in, our site was adequate. Still on the expensive side, but we knew that going in. The fire pits are small and we decided to not have a fire as the smoke and noise would have been right near the side of the RV next to us. The train is annoying, however it adds flavor. The park was quiet after hours. We did hear they had an issue with dogs as owners were not picking up after them. I would hate to see them ban dogs as many people travel with their pet. We did not see any problem, but that could have been due to the park owners cleaning it up. Overall, a nice place that will probably only get better as all the money they make goes right back into the park. I'm looking forward to seeing what improvements they make!
Montpelier, Idaho
Montpelier Creek KOA
[ 8/10 ]
There is so much to say about this campground. As far as KOA's go, this particular KOA has come a long ways. First off, I have never been welcomed to any RV park like I was here. I was called Sir, they were top notch polite and they escorted me to my site. From there, it only got better. The staff were constantly on the move. Trimming trees, dumping trash etc. The store is well stocked, the Wi-Fi worked well. The bathrooms are outstanding. We caught a fish on the first cast! This KOA is under a "work in progress" mentality. Once they complete something, they want to raise the bar to the next level. It is by far the nicest KOA in SE Idaho. If I had any downside to this campground: it would be that I would love to see them pave the roads and add concrete pads to the sites. Our site had more weedy grass then grass, but that really is not a complaint. (I wouldn't be surprised if they pave sometime over the next couple of years). In addition, the road noise can be noticeably loud. This is not the KOA's fault and there is nothing they can do about it. When turning into the campground, vehicles must pass around you and it is only a two lane road. Can be slightly dangerous. Beyond that, this KOA is a nice place to stay. Some of the sites might be tight for a 40+ foot RV, however I wouldn't let that deter me. We love this campground and would stay here again!
Ririe, Idaho
Juniper Campground
[ 8/10 ]
This is a well maintained campground. Each site has a fire pit and table. There are two loops to the campground. We stayed in the A loop, and we had the only site that did not have sewer hookups. Despite that inconvenience, we did enjoy the campground. The roads/sites are all blacktop. Leveling was easy. We did receive digital TV reception. The lake can be noisy until evening. There is plenty of space between sites and the views of the lake and sunset were outstanding. If I had to choose a negative, it would be the location and we found it impossible to fish from the bank as the sides are very steep. A boat would be a must if your purpose is to fish. Regardless, a very nice campground for a reasonable price.
Ashton, Idaho
Aspen Acres RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
This RV Park is a must! The RV park sits on a small 18 hole golf course. The golf course is NOT an Arnold Palmer or Jack Nickolas course, but it is still fun to play. The RV sites are set back in a large patch of Aspen Trees. The sites can be tight but the staff ensure they bring you in and help you park. This can be tricky if your towing, but they have ways of helping you. Reservations are recommended and if your destination brings you through Ashton Idaho, this is a nice place to stop. There is great access into Island Park and the Mesa Falls loop as well as not a bad trip into West Yellowstone! The golf is reasonable at 9 bucks for 9 holes and 18 bucks for 18 holes. Cart rental is the same: 9 for nine and 18 for 18. The course is an open course, they don't take tee times. You walk on and play! They do not have an automatic sprinkler system so the hoses and sprinklers run 24/7. For the peace and quite, and price, this is a very nice place. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. I had no trouble leveling. Enjoy!
Crescent, Oregon
Big Pines RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice place to stop over at. You can hear road noise. The mosquito's ate us for dinner but it is 45 miles from Creator Lake. (Well worth the drive). The campground is very nicely laid out and the staff is awesome. Everything worked well including the Wi-Fi. After seeing some of the other RV parks nearby, we are very glad we chose this one! We would stay here again.
Crescent City, California
Crescent City / Redwoods KOA
[ 9/10 ]
This is a very busy KOA. The sites are dirt/gravel. The interior sites under the Redwoods are amazing! This is a great gateway for touring the Redwoods. The staff were friendly. They are very busy and generally fill up from June to August so book early. We loved HWY 299 coming in and we took HWY 199 going out. Amazing scenery and great trip! We did enjoy the all you can eat pancakes for 3.00 per person. They offer ice cream for 1.00 a scoop. The campground was quite. We enjoyed a fire nightly and overall a great place. The campground is slightly outside of Crescent City, and you can hear some road noise. Be prepared the temp is way less there. The average temp is 54 summer and winter. You have to see it to believe it! We would absolutely stay here again.
Reno, Nevada
Grand Sierra Resort & Casino RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Concrete! The Grand Sierra is a casino with an RV park. Getting there was interesting, yet not bad. The Casino and hotel is very nice. We did use the fitness center (which I would not recommend). The fitness center is very small and two of the machines I tried were broken. The pool is very nice. We did take a day trip to Virginia City. That is a great drive. Overall, very nice! I would probably stay here again.
Elko, Nevada
Iron Horse RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Nice park! Close to casinos, pool was way to small. Very clean and down off the road a little. The train is very close so that is very noise. We felt safe the entire time! We would stay here again.
Salt Lake City, Utah
Salt Lake City KOA
[ 9/10 ]
Salt Lake City KOA is a very pleasant KOA. I would say it is above average as far as KOA's go. The store is small, however the trees are mature and with paved roads and level sites, our overall experience was very nice. It is located in the older part of town, however we did not experience any difficulty finding it. The staff was friendly to us, and there is a fitness trail and running path next to the Jordan river which runs directly behind the KOA. The pool is clean and the park is clean as well. There are no fire pits..., however that was not a deal breaker for us. Loved the park, and would return anytime we are in the area!
Grand Junction, Colorado
Grand Junction KOA
[ 6/10 ]
Grand Junction KOA is your typical KOA. There is one section of pull-throughs that have grass between them. The rest are gravel spots 100%. The laundry facilities are only open until 9:00pm as they are located in the main store. The store is very small, with only essential things there. There is one bathroom/shower facilities for the entire campground. Each male/female facility have four showers and we found them clean and overall nice with tile and spacious room to move around in. The pool was a little on the small side, but it was very clean and the rules were strictly enforced. The campground has a small playground and a fenced in gravel area that they called a bark park. The back fence is the dog walk area. The KOA is a long way from I-70 and it is located next to the fair grounds. We happened to make our reservations very early not knowing this was fair week. The campground was completely full and the fair could be heard until late into the evening. Other then fair week, it is probably fairly quite (no pun intended). Highway 50 runs in front of the campground and the noise is evident most of the time. This is a great place to stop if your in need of a hub into Arches National Park. We were able to leave the campground and tour the park in about 6 hours. We would stay here again.
Fort Collins, Colorado
Fort Collins / Lakeside KOA
[ 8/10 ]
Ft. Collings Lakeside is a very nice KOA. Spacious sites, and the most impressive part is how clean it is. It takes pride to maintain a RV park this way and pride is evident here. We found it a little difficult to find as it is not directly off of I-25. It is in an old industrial park of some sorts, but that setting provides for lots of space. The fitness trail is awesome with a very beautiful setting to run in. The showers were very clean. They made my boys wear helmets, which they provided, when they rented the 4-wheel bikes. The pool was clean and very nice. The staff was very friendly. The grass needs a little work, the trees are small and the interior roads need to be paved. That is why I'm giving an 8 out of 10. We would stay here again.
Hill City, South Dakota
Mount Rushmore KOA
[ 8/10 ]
Very nice KOA. We went horseback riding, as well as utilized the laundry facilities, ice cream shop and the store. Our boys enjoyed the scavenger hunt and for a prize they received a free round of miniature golf. This place is so large that I was able to do a 5 mile run just inside the KOA campground! We were gone most of the time visiting the attractions, but we would recommend this campground to anyone especially after seeing the other campgrounds available. The grounds could use some work, that is why I'm giving an 8 out of 10. This campground has everything else you could need for an enjoyable stay. We camped here three nights.
Billings, Montana
Billings KOA
[ 8/10 ]
Very nice KOA. One thing we did notice is that there is a very low ratio of KOA staff members. The pool wasn't very clean, and it was crowded. (You can expect that as it was 100 degrees out!) The showers were ok, however full of flies. Our site is absolutely beautiful, however as you can see, we paid for it! It had a gas grill, swing, table, bench and concrete pad: not to mention perfectly level site. We made our reservations very early, and it that was a good idea as this is a very busy KOA. There is wonderful landscaping, real grass, paved streets and overall, the grounds are beautiful. There is a pond nearby so we noticed a few mosquitoes. The miniature golf was nice and very reasonably priced at $2.00 per person. We would definitely stay here again and we do recommend taking exit 447 for the paved road versus the construction shorter route.
Garden City, Utah
Bear Lake / Garden City KOA
[ 8/10 ]
The Bear Lake/Garden City KOA is a wonderful KOA! Probably one of the best we have stayed at. This is a very busy campground, however they utilize a very large staff and it is very well run. The store is a small grocery store. The pool was small for the size of the campground, however they also have a jumping pillow for the kids. We enjoyed our stay here and we would gladly stay here again! We stayed here four nights.
Brigham City, Utah
Brigham City / Perry South KOA
[ 2/10 ]
The center section of this campground is made up of pasture grass and weeds with mostly front to back sites. With grass/weeds in the middle, the sites are marked with a stake and therefore you really don't exactly what is your space. The pull through premium sites face the highway and look at some residential homes and field. The roads inside the campground are dirt. Being this is one of the oldest KOA's, they have had plenty of time to week wack and mow, fertilize and landscape, however they simply have let this campground go. Some of the sewer connections in the premium sites were truly unacceptable and in need of repairs. There is one section of tent camping that has nice grass and you see that as you enter the campground. The store is the smallest KOA store we have seen. The wireless internet is stated on the website as available with a charge, however we were not offered it at all and don't know if it is still available. I would call them if this is important to you. There is modem access in the store for a charge. The ice-cream social is $2.00 per person. (This same ice-cream social is .50 a bowl at the Twin Falls KOA) The hayride is a trailer pulled by a tractor. It is a thirty minute bumpy ride along I-15 and you get to wave at truckers. The NC staff was wonderfully friendly. We were not escorted to our site, and we were placed by an empty partridge family bus we believe was the KOA owner's bus. (Our site also did not come with a picnic table. We asked and we did get one.) The bus was later moved to accommodate a motor home that had reservations for a patio site, however it was taken; apparently over booked, although the campground was not full. The customers were not happy. Some of the guests didn't mind if their dogs barked, as a dog owner…, we did, as it was non-stop! My son (10 yrs old) took our dog for a walk on the main road in the campground when a pit bull took off after our dog. I stepped in to save them both. This cannot happen, ever in a campground…as there is a leash rule and KOA has a breed rule. The night before our family went for a walk and the owners of this dog had to hold the dog back from coming after us. Still, it was not on a leash. We could hear I-15 and the main highway road noise at times. The web site says they have hiking. (Quote directly off of the web site) Local activities: • Hiking right across the street. You can hike up into the mountains and enjoy the fragrances that this amazing fruitway offers. We assume they meant the mountains which are not right across the street. However we looked for public access to a trailhead and couldn't find any. Everything is private property and inaccessible. We love KOA's and with some TLC, this could be a really nice place! We would probably try out a different RV park if were in the area again. We stayed here in a motor home.
Twin Falls, Idaho
Twin Falls 93 RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
This is a very small RV park with the sites close together. There is a lot of road noise and we did notice the cow smell which was topped off with a crowing rooster. Upon check-in the manager told us she was trying to eat dinner but kept getting interrupted. We didn't know if we should let her finish her dinner before checking in or just go somewhere else. The internet worked well and the hot tub was clean and hot. As far as we noticed, we were the only people that used the hot tub. The showers were clean, however there was not a lot of water pressure. The RV park was clean and our pet received a treat when we checked in. Early in the morning, the manager came by and I waved at her and she looked the other way. For some reason we felt like we weren't welcome. Maybe it was just us. Overall, a nice place to stay overnight. We would probably look elsewhere before staying there again.

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will stay on through Jan. 21, possibly longer, according to the White House.
Geithner, 51, the last holdover from President Obama's original economic team, has made clear he's ready to leave after four tumultuous years. With Obama's victory on Tuesday, Geithner was expected to resign, but nobody was sure when.
"Secretary Geithner has indicated he'll stay on through inauguration and he will be a key participant in the negotiations around the so-called fiscal cliff issue," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. "The president very much appreciates that."
That means Geithner, again, will be steering the nation's economy away from another potential economic disaster, a reprise of his earlier role in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
If Congress doesn't act, the fiscal cliff offers a one-two punch to the economy.
First, the George W. Bush-era tax cuts expire at the end of this year. On Jan. 2, automatic spending cuts will commence that amount to $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years.
The spending cuts are due to a compromise last year to end the last big crisis Geithner oversaw, raising the debt ceiling.

The good news about the LSAT is it can be prepared for. It can be prepared for effectively and scores can be increased significantly. The catch is that it takes time and effort, hard work and analysis. It might even take money, and it certainly takes resilience. Michael Jordan said it best "I've failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed."
Here is a quick pre-LSAT training camp plan:
- Review question types and instructions online or offline
Go to information sessions and free workshops with test prep companies to find out what they know about the test that you don't. You can also just go to a book store and check out the LSAT prep section, read a few pages on the same topic from each book to see which is best for you. - Take a practice test
Before you begin preparing for the LSAT you need some understanding of what your starting score is. The only real way to determine this is with an actual timed LSAT test. Get a real LSAC prep test from their site (www.lsac.org) and take it under timed conditions (there is one free test on their site!). - Assess how you did
Once you have a score you can assess how you did relative to how you might want to do to gain admission to a school, and also relative to national averages. For example, a 156 is an above average score, however, it's well below the average of admitted students at Georgetown Law School. How long might you need to prep and how much help might you need to get your score to the next level? - Consider getting help
After you have a baseline score, have visited a few prep companies' info sessions, and maybe even had a free consultation with a tutor, you can better gauge how to prepare for the test. We've all hired experts and coaches to train us to do things in our lives, from piano coaches to driving instructors to basketball coaches. A test prep coach is the same. You want to take advantage of the greater experience and knowledge of someone whose job it is to help others improve their performance. You can get advice from books just like you can learn to play piano from a book, but you have to consider how you learn best. If you have taught yourself to play basketball from a book or video then perhaps you can do the same with the LSAT. If you've tried to teach yourself from books and failed, now is probably not the time to try again. - Plan ahead
Once you have a sense of your practice plan you should target taking the official LSAT at least one administration earlier than you need to. This means you should be scheduling at least 6 months in advance of your first test date. If you need to have an LSAT score by November 1, you should target taking the June LSAT. That way if you need to retake the test you have the October administration as a back-up plan. Therefore, your preparation should begin prior to the June LSAT rather than prior to the October LSAT.
Hopefully these tips will help you get the preparation ball rolling. If you need more help, feel free to post here, on Facebook, Twitter, or even give us a call and we'd be glad to help!
