My fish are all gone!
Yesterday evening when I went out to feed my pond fish not a single one of them were there begging for food like they usually do. I was hoping that something had just spooked them and they would be there today. No such luck. It looks like all of my fish, over 2 dozen red comets, 3 shubunkins, and one koi, have all vanished! I have no idea what happened to them. There haven't been any wading birds around, (would they even be able to clear out a pond 2 1/2 feet deep?) and there doesn't seem to be any signs that racoons have been in the pond. I'm holding out hope that the koi at least, it's fairly shy, is hanging out in the deepest part of the pond and will turn up in a few days. The water is pretty green which means I can't see more then half a foot down so for all I know all of the fish are hiding out down there. I don't think anythings wrong with the water as the frogs seem to be fine and the water fall is still running. It's upsetting to have a pond full of fish on day and not to have a single one the next.
A great blue heron or great egret could clean you out in no time flat. My bet would be one of the two. My MIL had a great blue in her back yard, too a quick trip to wally world and returned to find her pond cleaned out too.
So sorry. My MIL had to surround her pond with bushes in order to protect it along with hanging random fishing line.
I'm also guessing great blue or night herons. I've seen both species hunting quietly at night. If it were coons or otters, there would probably be scraps of fish scattered around. You might want to shine a flashlight out there in the middle of the night to see if they've come back looking for more. If you can identify the culprits, you might be able to protect your pond better in the future.
When I first started my pond in 82 I couldn't keep GF at all due to water birds so switched to tropical fish, Birds still ate them BUT they bred faster than the birds.
In 09 had a complete wipeout due to cold weather so bought some feeder GF. Haven't lost any and am now on the third generation. GO figure . Predators have been the major problem in all these years. Everything from birds to raccoons to small boys gary
I'm also going with the blue heron theory. We have 2 large ponds and those things are very smart, can get into deeper waters, and will clear out a pond if it can. We have found that they often come in the middle of the night (no joke). We have used water scarecrows- they are motion detectors and when it detects movement, will shoot off a strong stream of water around the area, hopefully scaring away any predators. That works with limited results. My husband decided to go the net route for his larger pond with the large koi. We have some pretty big ones now and it is a lot more emotional and financial stress if one of them dies. The net is inexpensive and is working very well. We can still see the fish and feed them, but predators can't get to them now and they are much happier.
Our smaller pond is netless, but has the water scarecrow. We only have goldfish and platys in that pond (along with water lilies and wild frogs), so we'll see how it goes.
I really feel for you. I know how upset my husband would be. I hope you can find a solution and restock.
Awww, I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to lose a goldie. I have a 200 gal indoor tank with orandas, ryukins, celestial eye and bubble eyes, a 55 gal with comets (5, one per 10 gal) and an outdoor pond that I've drained because of the herons. They'll devastate a pond in a matter of an hour or so. Those birds are HUGE, like sandhill cranes and eat a lot.
When I lived in Marathon, we had a great blue heron that came up to us out of the blue one day with TWO hooks in his throat. He allowed us to cut the hooks away and stayed with us for years after that. He could, however, eat pounds of fish as we were cleaning and filleting them.
I'd go with netting. It annoys night predators as well. Fish that will come to a person will come to a coon too!
I hate you had to experience that. Nessz is right. It hurts to lose them when they're big, once you get to know their personalities and NAME them.
I gave up on the pond, had my hubby sketch my fish and had them tattooed on, lol...much less work and fewer tears.
I kept watch as long as I could before going to bed last night to see if anything would come back but since I have to get up at 6 am to get ready for work I couldn't stay up too long. My brother who lives with ma a generally stays up longer also kept watch, his room is on the sames side of the house as the pond. Neither of us saw anything. I've had those fish or their parents for about 3 years now but was only attached to the shubunkins and the koi. The koi I bought this spring and he had already more then doubled in size and was a real pretty mottled orange and black. He's the one I will miss the most even though he was pretty shy. The red comets all came from the 27 cent feeder fish I bought at walmart when I started the pond.
The plants around the pond are pretty thick except for by the waterfall and by the sidewalk and none of the look trampled so I'm pretty sure the culprit has to be a bird. While I don't live anywhere near water I do have an acre and a half retention ditch across the street from me which has had a lot of water in it off and on all summer. The frogs breed in there like crazy which attracts the wading birds. Usually I don't see anything but the smaller egrets and herons but with the water staying longer I can see it attracting the larger birds. I'll have to look into how to best protect the pond from future attacks. The net sounds like the best option but with the way the plants are set up I can only get at the pond edges at the ends.
This is what the pond looked like last year. I've been working on taking out the umbrella sedge behind the waterfall in order to expand the waterfall and add in a biofilter to help clear up the water. The area at the bottom of the picture where the white mini zinnias are is now covered in stones to give me easier access to the pond. The waterlilies didn't do as well this year but I think that's because I rather badly shocked them when I was cleaning the pond this past spring. Any ideas for how to best guard against birds when I can only access the pond from the ends? The ponds about 11 feet from end to end.
That pond looks like easy pickings to me. My MIL's pond that was wiped out is in the middle of farm crops and cattle farms in the middle of the state, not near any significant body of water either.
Less obtrusive method would be to string some monofilament fishing line that will deter them from getting in there. They won't risk getting tangled in it.
Oh Kara, I sorry for the loss of your fishies! I do agree with most of the posters here that it was probably a heron. They are relentless when they discover "easy pickins" like our ponds. I had a blue heron wipeout half of the fish in my pond last winter. And to make it worse they would kill fish that were too big for them to swallow and leave them laying on the ground next to the pond! Nets, fishing line and scarecrows [be sure to move the scarecrow often!]are your best lines of defence but are hardly pleasing to look at. And they are not guaranteed to stop the herons.
I would wait a couple of weeks before restocking the pond in hopes that the birds would move on but in my experiance once they find you they will continue to return.
Good Luck
Kara, to make netting easier, you can put a few stakes around and have the net go around the stakes. Does that make sense? In other words, the net will be elevated above the pond, except where the bird might be able to get under, in which case you would have the net reach the ground somewhere. I'll see if I can get a picture of our set-up tonight and post that.
I can warn you that if you do net your pond and you have any fish that tend to jump, get the net up higher. We had several platys that would get stuck in the net and die.
Susan, I'll make sure to wait to buy the fish although it is very tempting to just go out and buy at least a few common goldfish. I already miss seeing them swim around begging for food. The plan is to have some type of netting set up before I put more fish in the pond.
Ness, I would love to see a picture of your set up! I gave up on the platys as they didn't seem to help with my algae problems so that shouldn't be an issue.
Can anyone tell me what type of netting I need to get and where to buy it?
I'm already picturing in my head the hire wire acts the lizards in the garden will be doing on the netting! They seem to love the pond.
I haven't quite learned how to do multiple photos in a post yet, so I'll post twice.
This first one is a clear picture of how the net is set up on the bigger pond. It's much more aesthetically pleasing from other angles, but this is the best way of seeing the net.
I'll ask my husband about the netting, but I think he just got some very cheap netting from the landscaping section of a Home Depot or Lowes. He said it was very inexpensive and came in large rolls.
Here is the second pond with the scarecrow (black object in lower left corner). This is what my husband uses for the platy/small goldfish/lily pond.
Those ponds are gorgeous, what a shame the birds took the fish... maybe the Extension Agent would know what to do, or a commercial pond Co., seems they must also have the same problem.. also places like public gardens, Disney, etc. all have ponds and might have suggestions...maybe a narrow bridge over the pond where the net could be attached? sally
Kara, that pond is absolutely beautiful, cudos!
I'm sorry for your loss and not certain my suggestion will be helpful but as one who only has experience with salt water fish tanks and observational predatory habits perhaps shelter is the answer. I'd think fish would seek shelter from predatory birds inside pipe, if so you could buy 10' sections of black vented drain field pipe from the big box, cut it into 2-3' sections and insert two of them through the openings of two concrete blocks dropped into the pond - without an anchor this plastic pipe is light and will float so some sort of anchor will be necessary if you decide to try this. If algae doesn't obscure the blocks from site you could always put some pond baskets on top of the blocks and nest plants in the baskets for camouflage and additional ambiance ;-)
Oh my, I was so focused on examining your photo from the birds perspective I didn't even notice how gorgeous it is! I love the idea of the black pipe on the bottom of the pond for the fish to hid in.
Kara, it would be a shame not to have fish back in that pond, it is so complete.
Sorry that you lost your fish. I know it can be frustrating. I've got a small pond too. A few years ago we had a problem where a Great Egret would stop by and take goldfish.
I did two things which solved the problem:
1. I made it deeper. It is now about 3 ft deep.
2. I strung some mono filament line above the pond. This was easy to do due to the location of my pond between the house and a privacy fence. I put eye hooks in the top of the fence and also in the fascia of the roof, and then cris-crossed the line between the fence and the house. It is high enough that I can walk beneath it without getting tangled. The large birds won't come underneath the line for fear of getting snagged in it.
The nice thing about the mono filament line is that you can barely see it so it will not take away from the aesthetics of your pond.
I will have to keep that mono-filament idea in mind for if/when I put in a pond for my wife. Does it have to just the mono-filament or can you train a vine to grow across the line for a green canopy? Or would that ruin the effect by giving the birds a sense of shelter and security as they prowl the pond's edge?
I do have a black plastic crate in the deepest part of the pond that has a pot of waterlilies on top of it. It's a decorative crate that I bought at walmart with all different size holes in it. I'm not sure if the biggest of the fish could have fit in it but I know that all of the mid-size and smaller fish could have. I can cut a larger hole in each side of the crate and run some of the black tubing through it. I even have some of the tubing just laying around.
The ponds already 2 1/2 feet deep so I'm not sure how much another 1/2 foot would help but at this point I don't have the time or resources to make the pond deeper. I wish I had a way to rig up the mono filament line like you've described but with the way the garden is set I don't think that will be possible. Here's another picture of the garden from last year. The pond is right in front of the porch and that part of the garden forms a triangle that narrows down to a point where I was standing when I took the picture (The garden looked really good this year so I have no idea why I have no more recent pics to share!).
I've done some research on the netting and can get enough for my pond for about $25 so I'll probably be ordering some in the next few days unless I come across something I like better. Once the netting is in place I can start looking for new fish! Since I'm starting all over I'm going to be a bit pickier as to what fish I get. More shubunkins and fancy goldfish instead of so many common goldfish.
One thing I have decided though is when my family asks me what I want for christmas a heron decoy for the garden will be at the top of the list! Not only would it look neat it should also help deter other big wading birds from coming for a visit.
Sorry to hear this Kara. I lost a huge koi a few weeks back. It broke my heart. I swore I wasn't naming them this time and went a full 2 years before I told anyone her name. I have lost fish before and have found a few things that work pretty well. I built a hiding place for them, which was just a piece of black granite for them to hide under up against the wall. My pond is preformed so I made "legs" for the granite table out of bricks. There is enough room for them to swim in and out but not enough for say a coon or bird to get in. This worked for 2 years until someone or something knocked it down. I have restacked it and added an ugly motion sensor light. So far so good.
I have a concrete egret I got for $3 he is pure white and I am thinking I need to paint him and put him out by the pond.
We just got home from vacation yesterday and I checked the pond and chickens last night and all looked good. This morning one of my chickens is missing. I searched for 2 hours wondering if she somehow got out. Heart breaking!
Your pond is very beautiful, Kara.
You might want to be careful with a heron decoy. I have heard that they don't have a huge effect on the birds and a decoy can even *attract* birds during mating season.
I'm posting a link as a funny example (not so funny to us that have a pond, but still!).

Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR
- Category: Digital Cameras
January 23, 2012
Editor's Rating
- Compact design
- Lots of shooting modes
- RAW image shooting
- GPS quickly drains battery
- Slow shooting speeds
- Issues with noise & sharpness in photos
The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR is a 16-megapixel compact megazoom with a specialized EXR image sensor, which is designed to improve low-light performance. It has a large 15x optical zoom in addition to RAW shooting, GPS geotagging and overall good image and video quality.
The design of the camera feels very sturdy and quite compact despite containing a huge 15x zoom and an ultrawide-angle lens. The whole thing measures 4.0 x 2.4 x 1.2-inches (whd) and weighs about 7.6-ounces. It was easy to hold in our hands, but we occasionally had our fingers blocking off the flash at times, so perhaps that's a design flaw. The backside of the camera has a four-way pad and a surrounding scroll wheel. There's also a dedicated video record and a playback button as well. The 3-inch LCD display also on the back looked quite good in our use, but it did not noticeable noise at times. Tilted at a 45-degree angle on the top is the mode dial, which is conveniently placed under a finger while holding it so it's very easy to access. The top is where the power button, zoom toggle and shutter release are located.
On the bottom right is where the battery and memory card slot is housed. There's also a door that covers the micro-USB and mini-HDMI ports for multimedia use. A button on the left side also activates the flash to pop-up.
The menu system the camera uses may confuse some users as it requires a little bit of searching. Some of the features are awkwardly placed and may seem mind-boggling, so you'll want to read through the camera's manual before you use it.
Fujifilm has built a GPS receiver into the camera, which allows you to geotag your photos as you take them. Once the GPS has a satellite connection, which seemed to take quite awhile, you can also use an augmented-reality function, which allows you to pan the camera around you and it will point out any noted landmarks that you may want to take snapshots of. With all GPS-enabled cameras, it did eat through battery power quite quickly when the GPS is enabled, so use these features sparingly.
There are many shooting options the Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR has to offer, including Auto and Program modes and 18 scene modes. There's also the usual modes like aperture and shutter priority as well as a full manual mode, which lets you take full control over the camera's settings. There are also several modes that take advantage of the EXR image sensor. These include High Resolution Priority, which improves the dynamic range in noisy or high-contrast shooting conditions, and a few other related priority modes. There is an Auto EXR mode that will automatically choose the EXR mode based upon your current shooting conditions.
In addition to that, there is also a Pro Low-light feature, which will take several images quickly and combine them into one with less noise. For panoramic fans, there is a 360-degree panoramic feature that worked quite well in our tests.
Some of the Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR's specifications include a 16-megapixel resolution, a 15x optical zoom, aperture range of f3.5-5.3, a focal length of 24-360mm (35mm equivalent) and both mechanical and digital image stabilization. Images can be shot in either JPEG or RAW formats at a maximum resolution of 4608 x 3456-pixels and videos are shot in H.264 AAC at a maximum of 1080p HD. Supported memory cards include SD, SDHC and SDXC.
In subjective image tests, the F600EXR performed well, but it isn't without flaws. The automatic modes do a good job of getting you to a good starting point, but to really get the best shots out of this camera, you'll need to tweak some settings on your own. We found colors to be well-represented, mostly because of the camera's dynamic range features. Our biggest complaint is the loss of sharpness at low ISO speeds (from 400 onward). Visible noise was also an issue starting at these low ISO speeds, which really shouldn't be happening.
Shooting speeds were a little on the slow side, especially if you're using a mode that requires after-shot image processing. Shot-to-shot times with just Program Auto mode was about 2-seconds. Shutter lag in low-light conditions was also quite noticeable, so for fast-moving subjects, this most likely isn't the camera for you.
Video quality was average for a digital camera of this caliber. The zoom lens does work while recording video, but the lens motor is quite audible.

Arizona Wildcats
Updated Dec 20, 2012 - 12:56 pm
Arizona Wildcats RB Daniel Jenkins to transfer
The Arizona Wildcats will need to find a new backup running back.
According to Anthony Gimino's 'Wildcat Report', the junior told head coach Rich Rodgriguez Monday he is looking to transfer.
Jenkins had graduated two days earlier, earning a degree in 3 1/2 years in public policy and management, focusing on criminal justice. His minor was in business.
What that degree in hand, and one year of eligibility left, Jenkins is free to transfer to another FootballChampionship Subdivision school without having to sit out a year. It was that or stay at Arizona and face another season of limited opportunity behind consensus All-American Ka'Deem Carey.
Jenkins rushed for 293 yards and two touchdowns as Carey's backup this season, and proved to be a valuable member of Arizona's backfield. However, with just one year left to play in college, Jenkins felt it would be best to play for a school that could offer a larger role on the field.
The report notes that Rodriguez told Jenkins he would like for the running back to stay, but understood why he was asking to leave.
"I have only one year to show the world what I've got," Jenkins said.
"This was just a personal decision for my career. It was something I had to do. It was not something I wanted to do."

Minister and Staff
Gretta Vosper | Kelly Colwell | Teresa Wile | Scott Kearns | Babette Oliveira
Gretta Vosper - Minister
Gretta Vosper is the best-selling author of With or Without God: Why the way we live is more important than what we believe and Amen: What Prayer Can Mean in a World Beyond Belief. These books are informed and inspired by her pastoral ministry at West Hill United Church, and reflect her conviction that it isn't good enough to talk about an abstract belief that has no consequences for living well in community. That is what her work at West Hill is about: promoting an environment where people, often of widely differing opinions and backgrounds, can come together and work at living well within themselves, with one another, and in right relationship with the whole world.
That means that church at West Hill looks very different. Much of what is said in done in a traditional church environment is designed to set boundaries between those on the inside and those on the outside. Gretta is committed to ensuring that the language within a church community is non-exclusive, and that people - ALL PEOPLE - have a place to ask tough questions and give free rein to their spiritual yearnings.
Gretta Vosper is also founder of the Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity. To learn more about Gretta, visit her website www.grettavosper.ca. Catch Gretta Tuesday mornings on AM640, John Oakley Show, as a weekly panelist on Culture Wars.

Kelly Colwell - Manager, Programs and Administration
Kelly Colwell, our manager of programs and administration, grew up in Oregon, studied environmental engineering in university, and just finished a Master of Divinity degree from Emmanuel College. She loves to fix things, set up systems, and keep things organized. Kelly is excited to support the life and work of West Hill.
Teresa Wile - Church Receptionist
Our cheerful receptionist Teresa Wile has worked in the not-for-profit community for over 6 years. She has a genuine interest in helping others and will be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.
Scott Kearns - Music Director
Scott is the one at left wearing the tie. Pictured with him is his wife, Gretta, who also happens to be West Hill's minister. One of Scott's gifts is improvisation, providing graceful transitions from one part of a service to the next or offering poignant music in the background as Gretta speaks. Another of his gifts is composition. As West Hill moved to a more progressive approach, it found that there is a dearth of worship resources to support this transition. Scott has responded by composing 30 pieces of music, most for worship, but some for special occasions, and he has gathered these in a collection called "The Wonder of Life." Click on the image below to learn more or to order a copy from the Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity.
Scott has an M.Div. and is in the middle of a doctoral program in theological studies at York University. When Scott isn't making music or researching theological issues, he's working as a registered social worker at a long term care facility.
Babette Oliveira - Vocal Director
West Hill is blessed with an abundance of vocal talent and Babette's gift is to help bring out that talent to its fullest capacity. With her own beautiful voice, she mentors and directs the vocal ensemble to provide music and lyrics that speak to the values of West Hill; love, justice, compassion, and hope.

"It works great!"
Version: ControlSS 1.4.2
Does everything I need it to do
Haven't noticed any in the few months I've been using it now
I'm not sure why this software has only 1 star out of the two previous votes given here. It does just what it's supposed to and in the 3 months or so that I've been using it now, I haven't noticed any bugs or glitches.
My OS at the moment is Windows Vista, and I have my notebook hooked to my 50 inch TV with an HD cable. Whenever I'm about to step away from the computer for any extended length of time I use this program to instantly activate the slideshow screensaver (which I have set as my double-click default) that plays my collection of hundreds of gorgeous high-def widescreen pictures in pan and zoom mode at medium speed, gathered from various wallpaper sites on the web.
However, right-clicking brings up a menu from which, among other things, you can specify another default screen saver from whichever ones you have available on your system, or select from a sub-list of the others if you feel like a temporary change of pace. You can even choose randomization.
This program takes away nothing from my system's available screen saver options, and adds so much more. It has a bunch of other features that I don't feel the need to use.
Before this one, I first tried two other manual-activation screen saver softwares. One could appear in the system tray (which is a feature I prefer to have) but had no more available options or customizable features and for some reason couldn't be configured to load upon startup. The other software I tried could be activated by using a desktop icon, which I didn't want on my desktop, or a quick launch button, which often became unresponsive for some reason. It had more features than the first one, but was still not all that customizable.
Then I found this one. I normally don't bother trying out software here that has a low rating, but I made an exception, and I'm really glad I did. It was just what I'd been looking for and I couldn't be happier with it.

Yesterday, former New Jersey Net and current Dallas Mavericks guard Vince Carter moved up in the NBA all-time scoring list to 28th after passing Gary Payton. Carter now has scored 21,832 points during his career in the 1039 games he's played. With what he provided in his five seasons with the Nets, he secured himself a spot in the hearts of Nets fans everywhere. As he grew older, he adjusted his game and is now thriving as the sixth man on the Dallas Mavericks. Whether he makes it into the Hall of Fame or not will be determined later, but his contributions to the Nets and the NBA is one that shouldn't be forgotten.

My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.
Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were moving to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my life would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.
Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, he put me in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen . . . until I realized that Vincent Delacroix is no normal human—that he has a terrifying destiny and enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.
Can I risk everything for love?
Amy Plum spent her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, her twenties in Chicago and Paris, and several more years in London and New York. Fed up with moving, she has settled down in the Loire Valley with her handsome French husband, two young children, and big red dog, Ella. Die for Me and Until I Die are the first two novels in a trilogy about revenants.
"I devoured this lush, mysterious romance, which delivers a refreshingly human heroine alongside a hero truly deserving of the title."
-Aprilynne Pike, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Wings series
"Action and drama abound. Plum has done an excellent job of setting up the rules for her creations and following them closely. Fans of this genre will have their appetites reignited by this new addition."
-School Library Journal (starred review)
"Move over, Bella and Edward. Plum introduces a world and a story that are sure to intrigue teen readers and will easily attract fans of the Twilight series."
"The lush Parisian setting and gorgeous characters make this an immersing, franchise-ready story."
-Publishers Weekly
"Plum's debut is the perfect combo of romance and thrills, with heart-pumping action that will make you jump and love that will make you cry out for joy. You'll hang on every word, reading late into the night, waiting to find out what's next."
-Romantic Times
"Intense romance, action-packed adventure, filled with danger and uncertainty."

Ricky Gervais, the English comedian who hosted the Golden Globes has received both a lot of good and bad reviews for his act. Well, we think he's hilarious, it's always fun when someone mocks the celebrities a bit. Click on the pictures to read Ricky's funniest jokes and comments!
Ricky Gervais' Funniest Bits and Tricks!
Tuesday 7:18 PM, 17/01/2012
Ricky had a piece of advice for all the winners: "You don't need to thank everyone you've ever met or members of your family, who have done nothing. Just the main two - your agent and God."
"The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. Bit louder, bit trashier, bit drunker, and more easily bought - allegedly."
"What you don't know about him is, is he's very racist. Very. I mean, really, nasty stuff. Also, I've seen him punch a little blind kitten. Please welcome the evil Colin Firth."
"[Melissa McCarthy] made her mark in comedy this summer by defecating into a sink [In 'Bridesmaids']. Amazingly, that's still less demeaning than what most of you have done to make it in show business."
"Last year, our next presenter won both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for her work in Black Swan. This year, she took some time out to have a baby. Consequently, she's been nominated for nothing. Really pathetic. But she learned that valuable lesson you all already knew: Never put family first. Please welcome the very foolish Natalie Portman."
"Who needs the Oscars? Not me — and not Eddie Murphy. He walked out on 'em. He said 'no.' Good for him. But when the man who said 'yes' to 'Norbit' says 'no' to you, you know you're in trouble."
"Our next presenter is the Queen of Pop, Not you, Elton John, sit down. She's all woman. I'll give you some clues. She's always vogue. She's a material girl. And she's just like a virgin." But when Madonna got up on stage she fired back at Ricky, "If you say I'm still like a virgin, Ricky, why don't you come over here and do something about it, I haven't kissed a girl in a few years on TV."

Toro Rosso field an unchanged driver line-up for 2011, and with significant regulation changes serving as a potential leveller, Switzerlands Sebastien Buemi and Spains Jaime Alguersuari are hoping the Italian team can break firmly into the midfield. As the new Toro Rosso STR6 was unveiled in the Valencia paddock on Tuesday, both men gave their thoughts on the year ahead
Q: Sebastien, this is your third full season in Formula One. Does that make it particularly significant for you?
Sebastien Buemi: I have big expectations to be honest, as I have quite a lot of experience now: I know all the circuits, I know how Formula One works and we also have quite a lot of experience in terms of building up the car. So, if all goes well and hopefully it will, we should be able to score many points and finish in the top eight of the Constructors championship.
Q: Whats the next step? What do you need to have a successful season?
SB: I think its a combination of many things. The first thing is that I have to give the maximum, getting the most out of myself and I need to have a good car, which is obvious as it is actually the same for all the drivers. The team is doing a good job to get everything working better than before and hopefully produce a quicker car. We switched the focus to the 2011 car pretty early in the season last year, so I have big hopes for the start of the season and how things will work out.
Q: Youre going to be very busy in the cockpit this year, with the adjustable rear wing and the KERS. Whats that going to be like?
SB: This season with all the rule changes, it could be a bit difficult, especially in the early stages at the first few races. It is not yet really clear how we will use the rear wing and the KERS as we are still awaiting a rule clarification. It will take a bit of time to get used to it, but that will be the job of the drivers to be on top of it to the maximum by the start of the season. We will be trying to get up to speed during the winter tests to see what we can do and how we can improve it.
Q: How do you prepare for 20 races?
SB: In terms of preparation it will be the same as ever. You always try to get the maximum out of yourself and out of the training. There are not many changes you can make to your programme, but it will be important to work out when to stay out in between races and when to come back home. For example with the back to back races, it will be important to make the right choice: will it be better to stay out to avoid the jet lag for example? Your training is always the same though, as you push hard in the winter to bring your level up and then you try to keep that level all season long. That means you need a good compromise between time when you relax and recover and when you train again hard.
Q: How important is stability within the team?
SB: Stability is a big point. When you get to a race weekend and you need to concentrate to get the maximum out of the whole crew, it is important to have stability, especially with my race engineer for example: I know him really well he knows me, so we can understand each other without talking. This is an important point because when you have to spend time working together in between the sessions you need to get to the point quickly and knowing one another really well can be an advantage.
Q: Will it be a help that Jaime will be more experienced?
SB: I think its really important to have a team mate that has experience because from a team point of view that makes a difference. We are only allowed to run one car per day during winter testing and if you can use all the days to get the car to go quicker and understand it better, then it makes a difference when you come to the first race. Me and Jaime do not have so much experience, but this is our third season and Im pretty sure we can extract the most out of the car.
Q: What about Pirelli tyres?
SB: We had two test days in Abu Dhabi at the end of the last championship and it will be important to understand them quickly, because this might make a big difference when you get to the first race. We will learn how they work in cold conditions with all the testing in Europe, but as soon as we get to Bahrain the four days of testing will be very important in terms of understanding their behaviour in our qualifying and race simulations.
Q: Jaime, what does the 2011 season mean to you?
Jaime Alguersuari: I think it is definitely a key season for me this year. Every season is important and definitely this one is going to be very significant for myself, because it is my second full year in Formula One and because it is the second year that Toro Rosso builds its own car, so it will be completely decisive for our future, for the future of Toro Rosso and for my future, because we obviously need to target our competitors which are Williams, Force India and Sauber. We need to fight against them and finish the championship ahead of them.
Q: With KERS and the adjustable rear wing, you are going to be very busy in the cockpit. How will you deal with all this new technology?
JA: I think 2011 rules are not tested yet so we will see how they work. It looks quite difficult to adapt to the KERS and the adjustable rear wing. We need to test it and see how it goes. I think the KERS is not so difficult, because before the race weekend you can already study and understand the places where you can use it and how to use it during the race. However, the rear wing Im not sure about. Its a question mark for everyone, for all the drivers. In 2010 we had the front wing, where we could feel quite a difference definitely on the car balance in the race and when you changed tyre compound and when you had big tyre degradation it was a big help. We will see how it goes with the rear wing because its a completely new thing for everyone.
Q: You had one day driving on Pirelli tyres in Abu Dhabi. What do you expect the change in tyre supplier will bring?
JA: Thats another big question mark for everybody - the tyres. I think Pirelli tyres will work quite well, because we had a good experience in Abu Dhabi, the first test so far. We were quite happy with the performance of the tyres. Bridgestone was a big reference for everyone, because they had a so much experience in Formula One. I dont really know how fast or slow we will be on the Pirellis compared to them, but, so far, the performance seems quite similar so we can expect more or less the same lap times in every place.
Q: Do you expect all these changes will make overtaking easier, which is what they are supposed to do?
JA: I think in Formula One you always look for overtaking performance and definitely last year, it was not easy to overtake. That has always been the case in Formula One: it is always difficult to overtake another car because as you know you brake very near to the actual corner. Even if one car has a speed advantage, it is never that easy, so I think in general we always look for overtaking performance. This year, it can be different with the KERS system and definitely with less downforce on the car, we should expect to have to brake a bit earlier and with the moveable rear wing all these kind of things will make overtaking easier.
Q: We face the longest season in F1 history. How can you prepare for that physically and mentally?
JA: I think in general what you need from the physical side is to be fit going into the start of the racing, because twenty Grands Prix is a long season with one more race in India so you are looking to have a good physical condition and stay cool between all the travel and the adventures we live around the world. It will not be easy and I expect it to be tough for all us drivers to maintain a rhythm on our travels, with so many places to go and with the jet lag and so on. But with the level of fitness among Formula One drivers it will not be a big deal.
Q: Stability - you have the same engineers, mechanics and team mate. A useful factor?
JA: Yes, of course, I think to stay with the same team, definitely the same engineers and with the same people and mechanics in the background in Faenza, knowing the whole team for one and a half years is quite important and definitely will help me a lot this season. I am really looking forward to the start of the year because they know what they can expect from my side and I know more or less what I can expect from my engineer and the people that work for me. So I expect a lot for this season from the car and on the development side.

Hyundai Genesis Prices Paid and Buying Experience

LASHAWN Posts: 303Bob Dance Hyundai in Sanford, FL. I live in Savannah, GA. I just purchased my Genesis 3.8 Prem/Tech Package today from Hilton Head Hyundai in Hardeeville, SC. Paid $38k for 2012 model which came with Hyundai extended warranty. So far the only thing I don't like about he car is I can't play the music on my HTC EVO 4G through the car without finding a compatible cable.
jlindh Posts: 282Bought a new titanium 4.6 today from Hanlees Hilltop Hyundai in Richmond CA. Paid $36,250 including the doc fee, iPod cable, upgrade to the V5 GPS map and trunk mat. Very happy with the car, dealership and salesman. The customer incentives on the 2012's seem to have disappeared for December. I don't know if the dealers currently have an incentive or not.
We were originally looking for a V6 for about $1K less, but the Ms didn't like the sound of the engine on the V6's we drove. Don't know if it's the solid lifters or the GDI engine, but the V6 sounds like it needs a valve adjustment to me. The 4.6 has a non-GDI engine with hydraulic lifters so the engine purrs. -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,382jlindh, your 4.6 was it a 2013 Did your genesis have the tech pck, and premium pck in the car.. I'm deciding on either the 2013 Geny,or the Honda Accord both cars looks very simular. Accord has better Tech features with heads up display on windshield, lane warning system and a lane detection system with camera's on outside mirriors, and better gas mpg..Did rcieve 1 internet quote for a 2013 3.8 loaded for $39,159 without dest fee, any doc fee's or taxes. I'm sure if i decide to buy the genesis i could get the price down to $38,400. any thoughts.. In the fall of 2014 the new redisigned genesis will be out and probaly will have a 8 spped trany and upgraded Tech features . I'm also reading that Hyundia will upgrade the suspension to improve its ride to compete more with BMW , Audi, etc.. I really dont want to wait another year to buy new . So maybe for 12k less i"ll pick up a Accord and wait i see how the Genesis fares with there upgrades.. ANY Thoughts.................. Bian

jlindh Posts: 282Brian, there IS NO 2013 4.6 V8, mine is a 2012. All the V8's have the premium and technology packages including the lane departure warning system plus wood trim steering wheel, lighted door sill plates and a lower chrome strip on the body. All the '12s have the 8 speed tranny but do not have the Blue Link subscription service option. That's no loss to me as I'm no fan of additional payments to activate all the features of my cars. The 2014 Genesis may have an OPTION for all-wheel drive.
We also seriously looked at the 2013 Accord EX-L V6 with navigation for about 29.5K. That would have been about $6750 less for a heck of a lot less car. I did like the blind spot mirror on the right side and the Pandora app. If there's a HUD on the Accord, I'm not aware of it. -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,382Thanks, i think for over 10k less the Accord is the better buy all around . than a 2013 genesis. I dont need 400 horse pw. been there done those cars . Next year when Hyundia upgrades there Suspension, goes to All wheel drive, a 10 spd trans and upgrading there tech features i will take a better look. the 2013 Accord will hurt Genesis sales this year for sure. Right now i think for 55k the 2013 Audi A6 is the best car for the money. Ride performance and features. The Genesis is a great buy for the buck. Needs updating but still not in that class of Bmw,,Audi, Lexus....................................... Good luck enjoy your new ride

brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,382lashawn your missing my point . For 10k less the 2013 Accord and the 3.8 Genesis are Same look, Interior space, Hp Genesis has 333 to 290 edge, gas better in Accord. Accord better safety features, Until Hyundia upates there suspension, and rear wheel drive me personally...feel for 29k for Interior space and updated features I'll keep that extra cash in my pocket. The Accord even upgraded the stereo, But defiantly not as good as Hyundia's radio.
Read up on the 2014 Kia Cadenza Its comming out this month. this car will have all the updates and features that re design 2014 geny will be getting that i spoke of in above post. The aging Genesis hopefully will once again set the standard next year for best luxury entry level car with upgrades. Until then lets wait and see........ merry X-mas2013 Genesis 5.0 R-spec, 2013 Accord EXL V-6, 2012 BMW x-5, 2012 ML350
jlindh Posts: 282The Accord EX-L Nav is only about 5.5K less in actual prices paid compared to the V6. I paid $36,250 for my new 4.6 V8. The Genesis is rear wheel drive which makes a big difference to some of us.
I stand by my statement that while the Accord is a nice car, the Genesis is a lot more car. -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,382your correct a 2013 genesis 3.8 without the premium and tech package is about 4k less.. with those 2 packages its 39.5 k plus taxes. So my point being if i get a Genesis without upgrades... What separates the genesis from the accord ?.... little bit more hp and a louder radio. without the 2 mention packages the Genesis has nothing to offer compared to a much lesser Accord..Just giving out the facts. You purchased a 2012 end of year Genesis. On Jan 1 2013 your car will know be a 1 yr old model and book wise its depreciated about $ 3k. thats why you got a great deal. you cant compare your loaded 4.6 to a simple Accord. The Aging Genesis is no longer the best bang for the buck until they upgrade several key area's that i had addressed in my prior post..

jlindh Posts: 282Hopefully, you're not paying retail price for your cars. So why compare retail prices? A Tech package Genesis can be had for $35,000 in the real world. Likewise, a EX-L Navigation Accord can be had for about $29,500. My 4.6 Genesis was $36,250 new.
The '13 Accord has some very nice tech updates, no doubt. I'd rather have one than a '13 Accura TL for that reason. And yes, the new Accord does have some great tech that the '12 Genesis lacks, but a car is more than just fancy gizmos. Hence, my assertion that the Genesis is a lot more car. Drive them both on the same day, the difference is obvious. -
retry Posts: 1Putchased a new 2012 Genesis Tech V6 (Twilight Blue/Cashmere) yesterday. Included the mud guards, sunroof deflector, and complete Wing badge kit. Paid $33,950 before TT&L. The dealer was Homer Skelton Hyundai, Olive Branch, MS. They also had a 2012 Gray/Black Tech V6 for the same price. No more black interiors for me living this far south. The sales experience went fine except I've got to take it back in for an XM issue (no signal). It was a 95 mile drive home from the dealer. No remorse so far. The heavy metal flake Blue Pearl paint is absolutely stunning in the sunlight.
LASHAWN Posts: 303I purchased my 2012 Genesis V6 with Prem/Tech including mudflaps, sunroof deflector and complete wing kit for $36k after tttl on Dec. 1st. I got the Platinum Silver w/saddle interior, and has been a dream to drive. Purchased from Hilton Head Hyundai in Hardeeville, SC and the sales experience was excellent.

chris7676 Posts: 3I just upgraded my 2008 Azera Limited with 175k to a red 2010 4.6 /Tech Pkg with 35k. I got it for $22,500 which I thought was a great deal. It also came with mud flaps and the sun roof wind deflector. The Azera was the best car I have ever owned, so it was an easy decision to upgrade to a Genesis. The feature that I have enjoyed the most is the smart cruise control. I hardly ever used cruise control on my Azera even though I drive a lot on the highway, so it surprised me how much I have used the adaptive cruise control.
robribas Posts: 3on the other post, people were saying these two don't compare at all, but for me, i just prefer the accord.
1. mpg. I got near 40 mpg on the highway to LA from Phoenix this week on the accord, I would have been hard pressed to beat 25 on my 2010 4.6 genesis.
2. folding rear seat. I had to change with my gf honda civic every time I wanted to carry anything long. Ridiculous that the gennie seat doesn't fold down.
3. feel of the drive. the honda just feels tighter, while the gennie performed admirably, it floated way too much on bumps, and felt too much like a big car... just not my cup o tea. The new accord drives more or less like a smaller car: tighter, feels more responsive.
4. tech. the honda KILLS the genesis in tech. my phone pandora auto streams to the cars audio. the doors unlock when i reach for them, ditto the trunk. This is especially handy as yo uapproach the car with a big load of groceries in your hand, or your dog on a lease. the 3 views on backup camera, especially the wide view are a blessing when backing out of a space next to an SUV. collision avoidance alarm is a nice plus too. To me, the genesis radar guided cruise control needed too much monitoring to really use much, it would hit the breaks when I would have just let the car cutting in front of me pull away...
5. I was going to need tires, and 19's were going to be pricey.
6. 200 less to insure a year for the new honda.
7. possible serious value drop when the newer model comes out later this year...
what I will miss?
1. cooled driver seat.
2. Nav. the map was nice to look at, though address entry couldn't have sucked worse if they tried. I had quit using it to look up addresses or stores, instead using my google phone which actually worked. but it was handy to see upcoming steet names.
3. the car looked awesone. everybody thought it was a bently, since i had it badged. -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,382I agree with you. the New Accord is a better buy. I would think after hyundai upgrades the outdated Genesis with new tech features and a 8 speed trans plus some upgrading inside car it will be back on top for best entry luxury bang for the buck.
I also choose the 2013 Accord exl v-6 over the genesis for alot of reasons you mentioned.2013 Genesis 5.0 R-spec, 2013 Accord EXL V-6, 2012 BMW x-5, 2012 ML350
LASHAWN Posts: 303You and everyone else is right, they don't compare. These are 2 different classes of vehicles, Honda(midsize FWD) and Genesis(large size RWD). Besides, if really think about it, you traded your Genesis for another Genesis. To me they both look alike, every time I see a 13 Accord I think I'm looking at an 09-11 Genesis until I get closer to it.
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,382If the hyundai makes the 2014 genesis awd and goes to the 8 spd trans with some minor improvement in the tech/ and interior dept it will be a no brainer to buy/ lease. i just hope they dont ruin the shape when they redesign or freshening up this model.
i bought the 13 accord exl v-6 but i would upgrade to the 2014 genesis if they could improve the outdated model . Genesis is still a great car imho. The Audi A/ S 6 is the car to buy right. Its the total package. I also loved the A7 what a sharp car/ suv.2013 Genesis 5.0 R-spec, 2013 Accord EXL V-6, 2012 BMW x-5, 2012 ML350
sonicendeavor Posts: 2The 2013 Audi A6 is very nice, but from a price standpoint they don't compare. The 5 year cost of ownership of a similarly equipped A6 (according to Intellichoice) is approximately $20,000 higher than the Genesis. Add that to the $10,000+ higher purchase price for a similarly equipped A6, and you're looking at a $30,000 plus difference between the two over 5 years.

Under Armour Men's Highlight MC Football Cleat
I Would recommend this to everyone
I Am very pleased with this cleat. I recently tore my achillies and another ligament in my ankle and was looking for cleat that would give me more support in the ankle so I wouldn't feel the need to wear a brace inside of the Normal lower cut cleats. This cleat gives lots of support in the ankle and the placement or layout of the cleats on the sole provide good grip and balance
November 5, 2014
Dudes. They are pretty sweeeeet. Everyone thinks they are dope. Great traction; helps the ankles.

A voyage of discovery
The history and culture of Anglo-Saxon England, Celtic languages and literature, or Viking exploits - Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic (ASNC) allows you to explore a range of cultures, and to look at history, language and literature side by side.
ASNC focuses on the history, material culture, languages and literature of the peoples of Britain, Ireland and the Scandinavian world in the earlier Middle Ages.
ASNC students discover medieval history while learning one or more languages and reading great works of literature in the original languages, such as the Old English poem Beowulf, the epic medieval Irish tale Tàin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) and Icelandic sagas. Exactly which areas you study and to what depth is largely up to you, and to support your learning Cambridge has rare and exceptional resources to offer in the University Library, the College libraries, and in the Fitzwilliam and other museums.
What are we looking for?
No previous knowledge of the subject is expected or required; all languages are taught from scratch and we don't assume that students have studied early medieval history or literature at school. However, we do require passion and commitment, and look for evidence of your general ability in arts and humanities subjects.
Changing course
A few students choose to transfer to another course after Part I. ASNC combines well, for example, with Part II of the History or English degree courses.
After ASNC
This unusual and challenging degree develops your powers of argument and sharpens your powers of analysis. It equips you for a wide range of careers where intellectual and analytical skills are important.
'Asnac' (as they like to be called) graduatescan be found in a wide range of careers. Some take advantage of the specialist opportunities open to them and do research and teaching in schools and universities, or work in museums and libraries; while many others go into careers including journalism, banking, law, the Civil Service, industry and business.
Course outline
Teaching is provided through lectures, classes, seminars and supervisions and you can expect between 10 and 15 hours of lectures and classes per week during Part I.
Years 1 and 2 (Part I)
In the first year, you study the various disciplines which form the core of ASNC studies. There are no compulsory papers - you choose six subjects selected from a range of 10, and take an examination in four of them and departmental tests in the other two.
Historical subjects
- Anglo-Saxon History
- Scandinavian History
- Gaelic History (Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man)
- Brittonic History (Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, the Pictish kingdoms and the North Britons)
Language and literature subjects
- Old English
- Old Norse
- Medieval Welsh
- Medieval Irish
- Insular Latin
- Palaeography (the study of manuscripts and handwriting)
In your second year, you may continue to study your chosen subjects and take an examination in all six of them. Alternatively, you have the option to replace up to three of your first-year subjects with a dissertation and/or one or two papers 'borrowed' from related courses. Borrowed papers cover subjects from English, Archaeology, and Modern and Medieval Languages.
Year 3 (Part II)
This is where you develop and use the skills you learned in Part I, exploring your chosen fields and applying your newly-acquired knowledge in original and imaginative ways.
You study four subjects selected from a range of 17 papers including, for example:
- The Conversion of Scandinavia
- Beowulf
- Advanced Medieval Irish Language and Literature
- Germanic Philology
These are designed to give you the opportunity to pursue more detailed study in your chosen areas. Students may replace one of their four Part II ASNC papers with a borrowed paper. The range currently includes Medieval English Literature, Historical Linguistics, Anglo-Saxon Archaeology, Scandinavian Archaeology and a subject borrowed from the Faculty of History. Students may also replace one of their Part II subjects with a Part I paper that they didn't offer for the examinations at the end of their second year.
In addition, you write a dissertation of between 9,000 and 12,000 words on a specific subject of your own choice within the scope of the course.

Unistats info
Contextual Information
From September 2012, every undergraduate course of more than one year's duration will have a Key Information Set (KIS). The KIS allows you to compare 17 pieces of information about individual courses at different higher education institutions.
However, please note that superficially similar courses often have very different structures and objectives, and that the teaching, support and learning environment that best suits you can only be determined by identifying your own interests, needs, expectations and goals, and comparing them with detailed institution- and course-specific information.
We recommend that you look thoroughly at the course and University information contained on these webpages and consider coming to visit us on an Open Day, rather than relying solely on statistical comparison.
You may find the following notes helpful when considering information presented by the KIS.
- The KIS relies on superficially similar courses being coded in the same way. Whilst this works on one level, it leads to some anomalies. For example, Music courses and Music Technology courses can have exactly the same code despite being very different programmes with quite distinct educational and career outcomes.
Any course which combines several disciplines (as many courses at Cambridge do) tends to be compared nationally with courses in just one of those disciplines, and in such cases a KIS comparison may not be an accurate or fair reflection of the reality of either. For example, you may find that when considering a degree which embraces a range of disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry and geology (for instance, Natural Sciences at Cambridge), the comparison provided is with courses at other institutions that primarily focus on just one (or a smaller combination) of those subjects. - Whilst the KIS makes reference to some broad types of financial support offered by institutions, it cannot compare packages offered by different institutions. Different students have different circumstances and requirements, and you should weigh up what matters to you most: level of fee; fee waivers; means-tested support such as bursaries; non-means-tested support such as academic scholarships and study grants; and living costs such as accommodation, travel.
- The KIS provides a typical cost of private (ie non-university) accommodation. This is very difficult to estimate as prices and properties vary. University accommodation can be substantially cheaper, and if you are likely to live in College for much or all of the duration of your course (as is the case at Cambridge), then the cost of private accommodation will be of less or no relevance for you. The KIS also provides the typical annual cost of university accommodation and the number of beds available. Note that since most universities offer a range of residential accommodation, you should check with institutions about the likelihood of securing a room at a price that suits your budget. Knowing the number of beds available is not necessarily useful: it may be much more important to find out if all students are guaranteed accommodation.
- Time in lectures, seminars and similar can vary enormously by institution depending on the structure of the course, and the quality of such contact time should be the primary consideration.
- Whilst starting salaries can be a useful measure, they do not give any sense of career trajectory or take account of the voluntary/low paid work that many graduates undertake initially in order to gain valuable experience necessary/advantageous for later career progression.
The above list is not exhaustive and there may be other important factors that are relevant to the choices that you are making, but we hope that this will be a useful starting point to help you delve deeper than the face value of the KIS data.

Mass. AG Files Suit Against Morgan RV Resorts
Posted By RVBusiness On August 25, 2011 @ 8:09 am In Breaking News | 3 Comments
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is suing the owners of Saratoga Springs, N.Y.-based Morgan RV Resorts, alleging the company is intimidating members to collect exorbitant fees in a Cape Cod manufactured housing community it owns.
According to a press release from Coakley, the company's sales team "aggressively solicited homeowners at Peters Pond to pay up to $16,000 as a membership fee to remain in the community." The fee was on top of the $6,000 annual fee owners paid to lease their properties at the Sandwich, Mass., housing community.
Coakley's lawsuit seeks to end the collection and also return fees already paid by residents. She alleges the practices are a violation of the Consumer Protection Act and Manufactured Housing Act.
According to the lawsuit, nearly 100 homeowners have paid to join the club out of fear that they would lose their home.
In a separate report by the Journal and Courier, Lafayette, Ind., an amusement ride inspector from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security is at Indiana Beach, also owned by Morgan RV Resorts, partly in response to a protest last weekend led by a group of former employees,
The state inspector is checking the safety and documentation of the approximately 30 rides at this lakefront tourist attraction.
Further protests have been canceled following a pledge by officials with Morgan RV Resorts, which has owned Indiana Beach since 2008, to meet with representatives of the one-time workers. They had demonstrated near the park to bring attention to their concerns about ride safety and maintenance, employee treatment and guest relations.
Morgans RV owns and operates several RV parks and campgrounds in the Saratoga region, including: Coldbrook Campsite Resort on Gurn Springs Road in Gansevoort, NASCAR RV Resorts at Adirondack Gateway on Fortsville Road in Gansevoort, Lake George Suites on Lake Shore Drive in Lake George and Lake George Campsites on Route 9 in Queensbury. The company also has several properties in vacation spots in New Jersey, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Maine and Indiana.
The Peters Pond manufactured housing community is the seasonal home for dozens of retirees and elderly residents.

#1 Comment By Elaine Caron On August 26, 2011 @ 5:54 pm
We also had these promotional tactics thrust upon us at our once favorite campground at Old Orchard Beach Maine. The Morgan RV Park we have been staying at for years has now become a pay to become a member resort as well, pushing the little guy campers out.
The entire week we spent up there this year was spent trying to dodge these salespeople, only to be located time and time again. We eventually listened to the sales pitch, but are in no way able to afford the $16,000.00 membership fee.
We are extremely disappointed and sad that our favorite campground will no longer take our yearly business to camp at their facility.
#2 Comment By Another Old Orchard Beach Family On September 19, 2011 @ 3:53 pm
They are doing the same thing at our little Wagon Wheel campground at old ochard beach maine. We just moved our camper in there last year. Added a deck, shed, flowers, plants… and are now told that if we don't spend the 10K to become a member, anyone that does pay the fee can take our site, even though we paid our annual seasonal fee's. It's truely heartbreaking. I watched 6-7 families already leave the campground because of these unfair practices, and i'm sure there are more to come. We are hoping someone stops them before the campground is vacant by all! I know we can't afford 10K in this economy. And the sales pitch is you get $500 worth of visitor passes if you pay 10K… REALLY… if i wanted visitors, i'd have them pay the ridiculous 15 bucks a day to eat at my camper. Not 10K!! I'm outraged!
#3 Comment By Pine Acres Seasonal On September 28, 2011 @ 9:18 am
They are doing the same thing at Pine Acres in Raymond NH.
Last weekend salespeople came in and gave us the same story, we had to pay $13000 to "buy" our lot, plus the seasonal fees of $3400, and if we did not, we could be forced to move if someone else wanted to "buy" our site.
Such a joke…we decided to leave due to this, as well as other newly enforced "rules", and now we cannot get our deposit back. Been calling since September 5th and I am getting the run around – almost a month. I, along with many of my seasonal friends at Pine Acres, are leaving this fall, and I can tell you this much…they will NEVER get another PENNY out of my hard earned # as long as Im alive. They're lost alot of business with these questionable "rules" and practices!
