Macy's has integrated visual recognition technology into its Star Gifts app.
Department store brand Macy's has set its sights on making holiday shopping easier this year by enabling its customers to scan and shop with their mobile devices.
In order to do so, the brand has integrated visual recognition technology into its Star Gifts app, which lets mobile shoppers scan specially marked items for additional information, as well as to purchase them.
This visual recognition technology, iD, comes from NantMobile, which says it seeks to "apply state-of-art sensory technologies to the mobile environment, to build a richer day-to-day experience for consumers."
The Star Gifts app is free from iTunes and Google Play.
To use the app, mobile customers simply need to look for the Star Gifts icons in Macy's promotions and then scan the catalog, magazine ad or outdoor billboard.
In turn, Macy's says it will deliver mobile access to product information, gift-giving assistance and "much more."
Per iTunes and Google Play, that also includes videos.
Macy's says the app "will be used to deliver content that will help inspire, entertain and assist in the creation and fine-tuning of holiday gift lists," including advice from lifestyle expert Clinton Kelly.
In addition, users will be able to shop directly from the app for the "must-have Macy's Star Gift items of the season."
From November 17, shoppers can also scan the first page of the Star Gifts catalog to receive a $10 Macy's mobile gift code.
According to Macy's, throughout the holiday season, visual recognition technology will be available on its gift advertising found in public spaces like subway stations, digital billboards, bus shelters, windowscapes and magazines and additional catalogs.
"This marks a first-of-its kind use of iD's visual recognition technology to deliver a seamless experience across national catalogs, print and outdoor advertising," Macy's says.
The brand says it is "once again at the forefront of mobile-enhanced shopping that will cater to the growing tech-savvy consumer segment, while simultaneously launching the next generation of express gifting on the go."
Macy's reps did not respond to a request for comment.
However, in a prepared statement, chief marketing officer Martine Reardon said, "This new application of technology will assist us in delivering helpful and relevant content to mobile shoppers while at the same time providing them with the opportunity to get their holiday shopping done with ease."
According to Google Play, the app has an average rating of 3.1 out of 5 stars in 47 reviews and has been installed 10,000 to 50,000 times.
The current version of the app has about 2.5 stars in 19 ratings on iTunes.
Macy's says it operates approximately 800 locations in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam.

Good atmosphere at reception in main building. Very nice people, easy going and near native speakers. Steep walk though to get there, which is the only minus.
Great restaurant, had lovely dinner there, with great food and nice people.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 10 of his 26 points during the third quarter, sending the Dallas Mavericks to a 100-87 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. The Thunder came in 5-0, the last unbeaten team in the NBA. One of their wins was a buzzer-beater over the Mavs in Oklahoma City. Despite playing for the fourth time in five days, Dallas finally looked like the reigning champions, especially in the middle two quarters. The Mavericks outscored the Thunder by 13 in that span and played stellar defense, especially while giving up only 18 points in the third quarter. Kevin Durant led Oklahoma City with 27 points. Russell Westbrook scored 18 and James Harden had 16. Shawn Marion scored 17 points for Dallas, and Jason Terry added 15.

Learn how to revive an old dresser by painting a colorful landscape design.
By Shannon KayeMore in Decorating
Painting furniture in unexpected ways and adding a twist to classic motifs is a unique and playful way to dress up an old piece and bring color to a room. Using a landscape painting for inspiration, you can treat your old furniture piece like a canvas and create a simple ethereal landscape of your own. The key to making this technique work is to feather the edges of color between each ridgeline. Use an artist's brush to fill in the details and tear several pieces of poster board so each ridge line is different, like a real landscape.
Use satin-finish latex paints to give the piece a protective finish so you won't have to apply a top coat of varnish. But do add extra coats to each section for a solid, even surface that will last a long time.
150-grit sandpaper
brush for dusting
tack cloth
gesso (pronounced jesso)
black acrylic paint
large poster board
container to hold paint and a stir stick
square bristle paintbrush
small foam roller
artist's brush
Sherwin-Williams satin finish paint: Tupelo Tree, Secret Garden, Wheat Grass, Searching Blue, Watery
Remove hardware and drawer pulls. Lightly sand the dresser just enough to rough up the old varnish. Wipe down the surface of the dresser to remove the residue.

Navajo Code Talker George Smith Dies At Age 90
And, unfortunately, we have some sad news to share here. George Smith, one of the famed Navajo Code Talkers, died on Tuesday at the age of 90. Smith enlisted in the Marines in 1943 and joined the elite unit of Code Talkers. He served in the Pacific theatre, eventually achieving the rank of corporal. The Code Talkers became military legends after the U.S. military began using the Navajo language to transmit tactical information during World War II. The code, which was never broken, is credited with helping the U.S. win the war.
Some 400 Navajo Americans served as Code Talkers and just a few survive today. The program remained secret for many years, however, so Code Talkers and those who knew about them could not talk about their crucial role in the war until 1968.
The Code Talkers were honored at the Capitol in Washington by President George W. Bush in July of 2001. At the ceremony, President Bush quoted Smith's brother Albert, who was also a Code Talker.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Late in his life, Albert Smith explained the code words for America was Our Mother. Our Mother stood for freedom, our religion, our ways of life and that's why we went in.
MARTIN: Navajo Code Talker George Smith died this week in New Mexico. His survivors include his brother and fellow Code Talker Albert, 20 grandchildren and more than 31 great-grandchildren. He was 90 years old. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Watch the big game and celebrate your team's victory (or drown your sorrows) at the top-five sports bars in the city
Where to go for cocktails
This hidden sister bar to popular restaurant Journeyman is best found by looking for the disoriented would-be patrons wandering the parking lot between neighbors Bronwyn and the Independent. Once you find yourself inside, you'll be treated to outstanding service and meticulously crafted cocktails while seated at low-key wooden block tables. Show up early or make reservations—staff will make people wait rather than letting them crowd the space.
Alden & Harlow
Taking over the subterranean digs of former Harvard Square institution Casablanca, the expansive Alden & Harlow has plenty of space for eating and drinking between brick walls lined with reclaimed wood and vintage cookbooks. The cocktails echo the modern American fare, with ingredients like parsnip puree, honeyed kumquat and fennel infused lillet.
This underground bar has been firmly planted at the top of local and national cocktail-enthusiasts' must-see lists for the personal approach to mixology. Master bartenders present patrons not with a menu but with an ear to listen to each imbiber's preferences, crafting artisinal tipples from their stock of premium spirits and mixers.
Silvertone Bar & Grill
Forward-thinking in its backward-looking ways, subterranean Silvertone was a local pioneer of the trend for classic cocktails and American comfort food—and the long wagon train of regulars it immediately formed remains firmly hitched. The owners' good-natured commitment to a bygone era manifests itself in everything from the old prom pictures and liquor ads that line the walls to the confoundingly low prices charged for smart wines by the glass, served alongside much-loved staples such as macaroni and cheese, quesadillas and meatloaf.

Best bars for beer
The Haven
It's the only Scottish bar in the city, and the only place you can get Kelpie with your Haggis. Kelpie blends seaweed and chocolate flavors, and is as dark as the blackest porter. But it's got a brisk, light taste, tinged with ocean salt. Other Haven perks include Brew Dog on tap and deep-fried chocolate bars. The atmosphere is immersive: Belle & Sebastian on the soundtrack, tartan curtains, antler chandeliers and a bathroom plastered with obscure Scottish comics. Signature brew: Skull Splitter, a strong 8.5% wee heavy.
Lord Hobo
Enter through dark curtains and your attention is immediately drawn to the bar, with its 40 taps raised up in the center like an altar to the god of hops. Here, the bartenders are more than happy to introduce you to the delicious and obscure—such as a pale ale lovingly brewed by a Belgian father and son in their spare time away from their day job at a big brewery. Signature brew: Cantillon Vigneronne, aged with Italian Muscat grapes, smooth yet lightly bubbly.
Bukowski Tavern
Named for the booze-loving author, the Bukowski is all attitude. The style reflects the interests of the beer-slinging crew: Sex Pistols on the jukebox and a beer menu that lists "Ales," "Lagers" and "Funky Shit"—which includes a Brooklyn Chocolate Stout and a Blanche De Bruxelles Wit from Belgium. The usual local suspects, such as Pretty Things and Magic Hat, are also on tap. Signature brew: Deus De Flanders, aged for 2 years, and clocking in at a hefty $45 a bottle.
Cambridge Brewing Company
CBC is a veteran of the Boston beer scene. It certainly has the merchandising down: hats, T-shirts and pint glasses are all for sale. Founded in 1989, it's the oldest brewery-restaurant in the city, and the first in the country to produce a Belgian-style beer: the Triple Threat. The room itself is spacious and comfortable, with lots of long, shiny pine surfaces. The brewing tanks are visible from every seat in the house, but the best tables are to be found on the front patio. Signature brew: Cerise Cassee, a tart, barrel-fermented ale made from sour cherries.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I really enjoy the chords and melody... the piece has an excellent programmatic feel to it- almost as if it were "mickey-mousing" some action in something. The chords and the use of a steady beat with the horn in the melody gives me the image of soldiers slowly sneaking across a prairie or such- something like the song the guards sing in Pirates of Penzance, though it has a distinct western feel to it, I think.
Excellent work!

Which last minute replacements proved to be huge improvements?
Hugh Jackman – X-Men:
It wasn't easy casting the role of Wolverine, first offered to Russell Crowe, who passed — and Dougray Scott got the part. But scheduling conflicts with "Mission: Impossible 2" forced Scott to drop out, so Singer turned to Hugh Jackman, who joined three weeks into production. Six films later, Jackman's a superstar. Scott, meanwhile, is filming something called "The Vatican Tapes."

nevertheless - we also had some sort of line towing just in case, and i can tell from my own experience that you just cannot imagine how bloody fast this line comes rushing past you...
even at only 5 kts, it is frightening when you up to your nose in water.
you must be really very, very desperate to try and grab this line especially if you have no gloves on.
even if you manage to get hold of your bowline by slinging an arm through, the chance of a dislocated shoulder or even worse an injury is very high!
and then comes the really tricky bit:
just imagine - your probably injured and at 5 kts, the speed will drag you under water and i doubt very much, that you would be able to drag yourself back to the boat. the resistance the water gives you is something you have to figure yourself once...
when i eventually was back on board, we immediately undid that line.

This invention relates generally to communications and more particularly to reception activity when using a shared wireless communications resource.
Various communications protocols and schemes are known in the art. In some known systems, the reception activities of a given communication unit (such as a portable user device) are controlled in a manner that facilitates the use of one or more power saving modes of operation. For example, the well known 802.11 specification for a wireless local area network includes a proposed 802.11e specification that permits a mobile station to be able to signal an access point to indicate a time when the mobile station plans to emerge from a sleep mode of operation to enable receiving any pending traffic that the access point may have previously buffered for such mobile station. Because various mobile stations may unknowingly schedule such a listening time in an overlapping fashion with one another, the 802.11e specification permits a scheduler at the access point location to reschedule at least some such indicated times to thereby avoid the likelihood of such collisions.
Such an approach may provide satisfactory results under at least some operating circumstances but does not address all potential needs. In particular, the centralized approach embraced by this proposed 802.11e specification may require, at least under some operating circumstances, various resources beyond that which may be available to a given access point.
The above needs are at least partially met through provision of the reception timing method and apparatus described in the following detailed description, particularly when studied in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
Skilled artisans will appreciate that elements in the figures are illustrated for simplicity and clarity and have not necessarily been drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements in the figures may be exaggerated relative to other elements to help to improve understanding of various embodiments of the present invention. Also, common but well-understood elements that are useful or necessary in a commercially feasible embodiment are typically not depicted in order to facilitate a less obstructed view of these various embodiments of the present invention.
Generally speaking, pursuant to these various embodiments, a subscriber unit can select a time to receive transmissions from a wireless local area network access point using a shared wireless communication resource, at least in part, by receiving a beacon transmission from the access point comprising first information that corresponds to times when other subscriber units are proposing to utilize the shared wireless communication resource and then using the first information to select a particular time to monitor the shared wireless communication resource for access point transmissions intended for the subscriber unit.
For example, the subscriber unit may wish to monitor for such transmissions at a particular time when the subscriber unit will emerge from a sleep mode of operation. By providing appropriate information in a beacon transmission, the access point can provide information to facilitate selection by the subscriber unit of a reception time that is less likely to collide with usage by other subscriber units and thereby decentralize and distribute the reception scheduling process. This, in turn, relieves the access point of the computational and resource burden of administering such scheduling while further typically better accommodating, overall, the power saving activities of the subscriber units.
So configured, and pursuant to a preferred embodiment, an access point can receive transmissions from a plurality of subscriber units, which transmissions include information that corresponds to proposed utilization times for many of the various subscriber units (for example, in an 802.11-compliant embodiment, only those subscriber units that wish to schedule a subsequent transmission will typically be sourcing such a transmission at this point in the protocol). At least some of that received information can then be combined into a message (or otherwise used to inform the content of the message), which message can be transmitted to the relevant pool of subscriber units (such a transmission can occur, for example, as part of a beacon transmission).
Various subscriber units (and particularly those that have not already proposed a utilization time) can then use the information in such a received message to select a first particular time at which to shift from a sleep mode of operation to an active mode of operation and to select a second, later particular time at which to monitor the shared wireless communication resource for transmissions from the access point specifically for the attention of the subscriber unit. As will be shown below in more detail, such an approach can be particularly beneficial when applied within an 802.11 context, but it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that these teachings can be readily applied elsewhere as well.
Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to
Pursuant to a preferred embodiment, the access point transmits (preferably as part of a regularly scheduled beacon transmission as per, for example, the 802.11 protocol) a message 12 that includes information that identifies and includes all of the access times as proposed by each of the various subscriber units. As an alternative approach, the message 12 can instead identify specific times when none of the various subscriber units has indicated that they will be utilizing the communication resource. Or, as yet another alternative, all potential utilization times can be accounted for via such a message 12 with an appropriate corresponding characterization regarding intended utilization or non-utilization by any of the subscriber units.
A given subscriber unit (and particularly one that has not already presented a proposed utilization time to the access point as per the above process) can then process such information to facilitate determining, by that subscriber unit, a particular subsequent time at which that given subscriber unit will monitor the communication resource for transmissions from the access point (and, more particularly, a corresponding time at which the given subscriber unit can awaken from a sleep mode of operation to effect such reception monitoring). The given subscriber unit can then transmit a message 13 to the access point that includes this reception time information, In a preferred embodiment, the access point would then respond with an acknowledgement message 14 to confirm receipt of the previous transmission from the subscriber unit.
So configured, and as will be related in more detail below, such a procedure permits a subscriber unit to select a reception opportunity in a remote and distributed fashion with respect to the access point. In particular, the access point need only report timely scheduling information as provided to it by other subscriber units. If desired, the access point need not dedicate any resources or computational capacity to determining what the schedule should be, as versus what the schedule presently appears to be. Notwithstanding this distributed approach, over a useful range of operating conditions this mechanism will serve to permit relatively quiescent subscriber units to both be able to likely timely receive their access point transmissions while also being able to effect a useful degree of power saving.
Referring now to
The transceiver 21 operably couples to a controller. Such a controller can be comprised of a fixed-purpose or a programmable (or partially programmable) platform as is well understood in the art and may comprise a distributed or a highly integrated controller architecture as desired and as may be appropriate to the needs and requirements of a given application. In a preferred embodiment the controller 23 has (or can otherwise effect) at least an active mode of operation and a sleep mode of operation (with respect to itself, the transceiver 21, and/or other components, elements, or processes that comprise a given subscriber unit). Such sleep modes of operation are well understood in the art and typically comprise an operational state when certain power-consuming components and/or processes are fully or partially shut down to thereby effect a reduction in power usage as compared to a normal active mode of operation. These teachings are generally useful with a wide variety of sleep modes of operation. Since such sleep modes of operation are well understood in the art, no further description of such modes of operation will be provided here for the sake of brevity and the preservation of focus.
In a preferred embodiment, the subscriber unit 20, and particularly the controller 23, will further include a scheduler 24. Such a scheduler 24 can serve to use the schedule information (such as a plurality of utilization times as earlier proposed by various subscriber units) to select a subsequent wake-up time, a subsequent reception time, or preferably both. Such a scheduler 24 can also serve, for example, to essentially reschedule a subsequent wake-up time and/or a subsequent monitoring time when, for example, a conflict exists with respect to the originally selected first and second scheduled times.
A subscriber unit 20 will also preferably comprise a memory 25 (such as an appropriate volatile or non-volatile memory platform or platforms) that operably couples to the controller 23 (and/or the scheduler 24). Such a memory 25 can store, at least from time to time as appropriate to the availability of and the need for the information, information such as the plurality of proposed times at which other subscriber units have proposed to utilize the shared wireless communication resource (or such other scheduling information as the access point may have provided), a first scheduled time as determined by the subscriber unit 20 at which time the controller 23 will shift from a reduced power mode of operation to an active mode of operation, and a second scheduled time (typically near but subsequent to the first scheduled time) as determined by the subscriber unit 20 at which time the controller 23 will cause the transceiver 21 to receive data as is then being possibly transmitted by the access point. By retaining such information as received by the subscriber unit 20 or determined thereby in such a memory 25, the subscriber unit 20 will have ready access to the data and/or operational parameters that will facilitate these processes.
As noted above, pursuant to a preferred approach, subscriber units that have information to convey to an access point will transmit their proposed utilization times to the access point. In an 802.11 implementation, for example, such information is transmitted by the subscriber units during the contention portion of a periodic beacon interval. In a preferred embodiment, such subscriber units would then be available to receive any transmissions that the access point may have for such subscriber units at a time that corresponds to the subscriber unit proposed time. Subscriber units that have no information to so convey, however, may nevertheless have an interest or need to receive information when and as the access point has such data to forward. Pursuant to these embodiments such a subscriber unit will be able to generally receive such information in a timely fashion while simultaneously achieving considerable power consumption efficiencies.
Referring now to
Other approaches are possible, of course. As noted earlier, this message can specifically indicate those temporal opportunities that are presently available to support the desired reception monitoring activity. The schedule information itself can be in any suitable form as comports with the temporal (or other) structure of the protocol in question. For example, the schedule information can identify a specific time or times when other subscriber units are expected to make a transmission. Such a specific time can comprise a particular moment in a real-time sequence or, for example, a value that corresponds to a time slot or a value that corresponds to a time slot as measured with respect to some particular known event (such as a beacon transmission or the beginning or ending of a particular marked frame of information).
So configured, it will be appreciated that the computational requirements for the access point are relatively minimal. The access point, in general, simply serves to receive information from the subscriber units and to then report that information in a subsequent beacon (or other) transmission. There is no requirement that the access point attempt to identify potential conflicts or collisions or to otherwise serve to actively mitigate or alleviate such operational conditions. Instead, the subscriber unit is itself empowered to address such concerns.
Referring now to
Those skilled in the art will recognize that various approaches can be taken to facilitate such a selection. The selection mechanism can be relatively static or fully or partially dynamic as may best suit the needs of a given application. For example, some subscriber units may simply select a first available temporal opportunity while other subscriber units may always select a second, a third, or a last temporal opportunity as may be available. As another example, a subscriber unit can derive a random (or, more typically, a pseudo-random) value and then use that value to facilitate selection of a particular temporal opportunity. An approach such as the latter has the potential benefit of aiding in avoiding a situation where two or more subscriber units autonomously select an identical temporal opportunity. As a specific example of the latter, and where the beacon transmission includes a number representing the number of active subscriber units that share a given shared resource, a given subscriber unit can select a time slot by selecting a value Z that corresponds to a specific time slot, where:
The subscriber unit will then convey that selected reception time via a transmission 43 to the access point. For example, when implemented in an 802.11 compliant system, such a transmission can be conveyed when an opportunity to transmit short messages regularly presents itself during a corresponding contention window. In an optional embodiment, the subscriber unit can then determine 44 whether the access point received that earlier transmission (for example, by detecting reception of an acknowledgement signal within a predetermined time of having transmitted the reception time message to the access point).
One significant benefit accorded by such a process 40 is that the subscriber unit now knows with some certainty that no transmissions will be sourced by the access point for intended reception by the subscriber unit until the selected reception time. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment, the subscriber unit can now enter a sleep mode 45 of operation. Such a sleep mode can be relatively modest (where only one or a few components or processes are powered down) or relatively complete (as where the entire subscriber unit essentially powers down save for a timer mechanism that serves to eventually awaken the device at the predetermined time). Regardless of the amount of power savings gained, at least some savings can be reliably attained without likely missing a transmission from the access point.
Upon determining 46 that the subscriber unit should be awakened and returned to an active mode of operation, the process 40 can then determine 47 whether it is also now time to begin monitoring the shared resource for an access point transmission to the subscriber unit. When the appointed time arrives, and presuming that the access point indeed has content to transmit to the subscriber unit, the subscriber unit can then receive 48 the transmitted information.
Upon receiving such a transmission, of course, other actions as appropriate can be taken as well understood in the art. Such actions can include, for example, institution of a sleep mode of operation to again conserve power.
As already acknowledged earlier, it is possible that the time selected by a given subscriber unit to receive a transmission from the access point will coincide with the time as selected by another subscriber unit using this or another process. There are various options that may be considered to accommodate such an occurrence. As one example, the subscriber unit can simply redo the described process. As another example, the subscriber unit may redo the described process albeit with one or more intentional differences being made to attempt to distance the selected temporal opportunity from one that a competing subscriber unit might select (such as by utilizing a different random number or random number selection process). As another example, the subscriber unit can forgo a power-saving mode of operation and simply remain active to ensure availability for if and when the access point may transmit information to the subscriber unit. Other possible courses of action are available as well.
Such embodiments permit a shared resource system to facilitate reliable communications amongst a plurality of subscriber units while also accommodating significant power savings for at least some subscriber units and without necessitating an overly complex scheduling overhead requirement for the access point. Such an approach can provide benefits when applied in a variety of contexts but has clear applicability in an 802.11 compliant system.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that a wide variety of modifications, alterations, and combinations can be made with respect to the above described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and that such modifications, alterations, and combinations are to be viewed as being within the ambit of the inventive concept. For example, when implemented in an 802.11 compliant system, the inclusion of the scheduling information in the beacon transmission will likely add additional overhead to the beacon frame. As one optional approach to address this instance, the access point can use low complexity lossless bit coding (such as run-length coding) before committing the bits to the beacon frame.

Restore or paint this table?
This week, I was lucky enough to find this table at Goodwill for $10. It was quite dirty but I was able to clean it. The pull-out shelf was missing, but as you can see, I've replaced it, but haven't painted or stained it yet.
A label on the bottom identified it as made by the Hickory Chair Company, James River Collection. It's beautifully hand-crafted, very solid. There is a 2-inch veneer border along the top that is damaged. I'm not skilled enough to repair it. Is there anything I can rub on it to improve it?
My other option is to paint just the border and the unfinished pull-out shelf. I was thinking of painting them black. What say ye all?
Here is the main damage, although it doesn't show up well in the photo. Where you see the white speck, the veneer is gone around that area, leaving a dark, dull place.
Can someone identify the wood on the table and the border or is that too difficult in this photo? Thanks.
I would not paint it -- it's a beautiful table.
I can't see the extent of the veneer damage from the photo. I would do a burn-in repair on this and it would mostly disappear. That's not an easy method to get equipped and skilled for, though. You might be able to get it filled with a wax filler. Since it's a burl, add a couple of colors and it should blend in fairly well. Level with an credit card or lotto-scratch-off. Then buff with a piece of paper grocery bag. If the veneer is loose, you can drip in a drop or two of CA (super-)glue.first.
Here is a link that might be useful: video on how to do it

Marian Hossa was pretty adamant that the Blackhawks were going to wipe Saturday's disappointing loss out of their memory pretty fast.
The Blackhawks were just a few minutes into their drills when coach Joel Quenneville stopped practice for a second to regroup.
Jonathan Toews scored twice and the Blackhawks bounced back nicely in a 5-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Blackhawks took to the United Center ice on Monday night with a revamped look, thanks to the acquisitions of Antoine Vermette and Kimmo Timonen.
Jonathan Toews was candid on Friday night. The Blackhawks captain usually is in interviews, but he was especially pointed after the team's disappointing loss.

Located in the gorgeous mountains, this place is a gem. There are many seasonal sites here, and that does not detract from the quality and friendliness in the least. The owners are superb. Our power and water were adequate. Our site was gravel and level. There is a nice pool and a little store. We camped at Saunderosa Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2007 - $30.00
Saunderosa is a very nice campground. I have always enjoyed camping there. There are some very nice spots by the creek. The kids especially enjoy playing in the water all day. The pool is adequate but you have to pay extra to swim in it. Saunderosa could use more weekend campsites as most sites are permanent. And the bathrooms also need more attention during busy weekends. We camped at Saunderosa Park in a Travel Trailer.Undo

RECIPE: Grape salad
southernrnJuly 20, 2006
Hey guys! Just got this recipe from a friend of mine, and it is really a light and delicious treat, especially in the summer. Just wanted to share...
Grape salad
4# of seedless grapes (green or purple)
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1 8 oz container sour cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 ounces chopped pecans
2 tbsp brown sugar
Wash and dry grapes. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, and white sugar. Add grapes and mix until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans, mix again and refrigerate until serving.
**In the batch I made today I used fat free cream cheese and low fat sour cream, and used 1/2 cup splenda instead of white sugar, and it tastes just as good!!!
