This is a overnight stop for the tired traveler between Sacramento and LA. Large level pull though gravel spots with grassy dividers (as grassy as you can get in SoCal drought...but sort of grassy) Easy check in at a friendly office. Good hookups, iffy free WiFi, quiet, sheltered from highway noise. Truck stop and gas station very near, but you don't hear them (I didn't) and a Baja Fresh. I give it an excellent rating because it is perfect for what is...a clean overnight stay. We will stay again, as we travel that route often. - kalynzoo

This is an easy stopover park off I-5. We have been coming here for years when traveling from Southern California to Northern California. The park continues to deteriorate but is fine for one night with a big rig motor home and tow car. No need to unhook the car. Easy access for large fifth wheels as well. Prices keep going up but that is to be expected since there are so few parks along the I-5 corridor. Lot's of overnight travelers. Nice hosts. Will stay here again. - lmg

We stay here quite often since our kids are living on base. It is not much more than a paved parking lot, but if you have a dog or dogs, it is great. There is a huge dog park right next to the FamCamp and our dog loves it there. The camp is within walking distance to the base movie theater and bowling center. There is also a nice brew pub within walking distance. - KathyK

Nice, small park with friendly staff. Reasonably level concrete pads, but ours had a sharp 3 inch lip from the gravel lead-in to the pad. Quite a bump getting in. Once in, the utilities are strong and base amenities are available nearby. - Twice Retired

We stayed here for the weekend. Nice camp. However he sewer smell was bad. Our site had a broken pipe and smelled awful. We taped it up which helped it. This is the only camp I seen for Lemoore Hanford area. And would stay here again. - Jmn

The Taachi Casino is an out-of-the way casino in central CA. You can park in their lot for no charge. It is well lit and patrolled by jitney cart security. They seem to welcome RVers. The only problem is that it is located in the middle of farmlands and there is nothing to do but gamble. We only stayed one night. The buffet was re-opened Mother's Day 2012 after total remodeling. They must have brought in a new chef because the food was excellent. I especially enjoyed the custom-made pasta dishes. My wife, who is a food snob, thought the buffet was more than acceptable. I, on the other hand, can eat anything and I loved it. - olygene

The huge parking lots had plenty of room for RVs with excellent lighting. Casino was nice, staff was wonderful with shuttle to and from the casino. No charge for 3 night's stay. But, the buffet in the casino was absolutely the worst we have ever encountered in any restaurant. Not only did the food look terribly, but it tasted worse. We understand why they had us pay first. We would stay in the RV lot again but don't eat the food! - Beas1979

Dirt lot behind lodge. Hookups are adequate but several large rigs at the same time will make close quarters. Some small trees narrow the sites. Town is close by. The large bright glow to the northeast is a solar steam plant providing steam to the many oil wells nearby. It's well worth the 5 mile drive to see the set up. - Bucky Beaver

We had talked with the manager several times on the phone about staying here. We were told there were plenty of 50amp spaces available: several pull-throughs and we were to park where we liked. Upon arrival this turned out not to be the case. The pull-through sites are reserved for the "carnies" although there were no events going on. Only one other spot was available with 50amp and it was unlevel, under low hanging trees and looking out on the dumpsters. Both sides of that site were occupied by live-in campers with no pride in their surroundings. We opted to turn around and leave. (We ultimately did not stay here.) - blackbeauty

Very basic. No grass, but the spaces are level. Water and electric worked well, however the WIFI was sporadic, so wound up using our Verizon Hotspot. Owner said it had problems.Cable worked well.
There was some noise from the truck stops adjacent to the park, but not intolerable.
Thought the price was a little high for the facility, but when you're the only game in town, you can charge just about what you want. - vwbluestar
May 2015 - $40.00
As others said, the only game in town. Basically you are parking on level, packed dirt. We had a pull through in the back row, so empty field behind and not right by the truck stop. We were set up for an easy departure in a big rig (45' motorhome with Jeep) but some of the other spaces looked like they could be tight with big Eucalyptus trees overhead. We had small trees and good angle for our satellite TV. Used our own MiFi, didn't use facilities, quiet for sleeping--left early. Wouldn't stay there again unless too tired to drive on, but it was OK. - 3DogsGo

Camping in pull-thru sites on sand at this place. It is good for an overnight stay. There is easy access from the freeway and there are lots of fast food restaurants nearby. We had cable and a picnic table. Public restrooms were a long block hike away. - rolling homeless

The was a one night stand ! They accept cash only..at least that was the only payment that day. Didn't realize that we were next to a busy train track, either. So..between the highway and the trains, our sleep was frequently interrupted. Don't think I will return. - GrammaGinny

Small, very tight park. There is a wall around it but the traffic & train noise are still a big issue. Mostly permanent residents but reasonably clean except for the laundry room which could use a good scrubbing. The pool and hot tub looked clean. OK for a night [I stayed two] and a good price with PA. Would certainly not pay the $37 regular rate. - mockturtle

There was no internet (Wi-Fi or modem) no cable TV but we could pick up channels with antenna. There were some full-timers with shabby sites. Our site was not close to level. This park is definitely over priced. - BC Traveler
Jun 2011 - $25.00
Good overnight stop. Only thing is: there are two rows that you can't pull out of, since the road is blocked. So you have to either back out, or pull straight across though another site to get out. They have lots of permanent residents with lots of children but I must say it is pretty clean. Yes, we would come back as it's convenient to Freeway: SR99. - RV Roving Seeker
Apr 2011 - $25.00
If you park in the first row you may have to back out from your pull through spot, because at the time we were here, the road out was blocked off. Worst floor plan for a restroom/shower we have seen. No area to dress, undress or dry off without being exposed to the outside if someone opens the door. Two of the dryers in the laundry were not working (which management knew about), and did not have out of order signs on them. - paxton

Small, campground north of Visalia, with predominantly permanent residents. Only 30 amp service and our 32 foot motorhome with tow barely fit into one of their pull through sites. Could not connect sewer hose because of small pull through size. Located right next to Hwy 99 so expect alot of road noise. Facilities are primitive and in disrepair. Pass on this one and head north to the next major town. - Happy G

This is an older park in a very industrial part of town near a railroad track. It is conveniently located near Sequoia National Park. Most campsites are pull-thrus with a picnic table. There are some large trees in the park which are good for shade but not good for big rigs or satellite reception. Grass was brown because of drought. The park would be pretty if it was greener. The WiFi setup was strange - you get one free hour of WiFi per device per day. The one hour is continuous - you cannot check your email and then come back after dinner and check it again. Then you have to wait 24 hours it use it again. We used our verizon hotspot which worked fine. The office was the old KOA A-Frame and was dated but they were adding new cabins and seemed to be interested in the future. - lyzzards

Dirt, gravel, uneven sites. Good access to sites. Wi-Fi is available for one hour per day unless you pay for more. This park can be entered from northbound CA-99 using the Goshen Ave exit, but there is no access back onto CA-99 at this location. Head south on Plaza, merge right onto 198 East and immediate merge onto CA-99 north or south. The gas station on the SE corner of Goshen and Plaza is huge, easily accessible and has diesel and a car wash. This camp caters to tent campers. The "premium" 50 amp sites are 50 ft away from the tent camping area. 4 of the 5 nights we were there, there were 20 to 30 tents and approximately 100 loud people staying there. KOA staff were rude and did nothing to stop the tent campers partying past midnight. - Kid911

Our rig is 42 feet, and it just fit in the site (we had to unhook and park our tow vehicle elsewhere. Sites were clean and wide, mostly level, and there is easy access from the highway. Those families with children should be aware that they consider any child 12 and over as an adult, and we were charged an extra $5.40 cents for our 12-year-old per night. Also be aware that you must use special cards for the laundry. We arrived around 7:30 and went to wash clothes at 8 pm, only to discover that we had to have this special card (which you can get with a $10 deposit) to use the machines. Since the card can only be purchased from the campground store/office, you are out of luck if you don't figure that out before they close for the night at 8 pm. - NomadFamily

This is a mobile home community but with RV sites mixed in. Each site is level, concrete with adequate parking. We were placed in Space #1, next to the street, with a thick hedge separating the grounds from the street. When we started hookup the 50A outlet/breaker wasn't working and before I finished with setup and connecting utilities the staff had replaced the breaker. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Amenities are clean and well maintained. Shopping and restaurants are minutes away. We based here for access to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The noise from the surrounding neighborhood brought the rating down a bit but this is a nice place to stay and everyone is friendly. This CG is a pleasant surprise and we would return when in the area again. - SilverBear

A great location with an almost rural feel. Secure and comfortable. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. We were running late and called. Not to worry! The park's annual picnic/barbeque was the next day (Saturday). Sadly, we could not stay for it - places to go - people to see farther north! - arascal

Mobile Home park with RV sites in town, a few miles from Hiway 99. Easy to get to and close to shopping and restaurants. Paved streets with grass between sites. Power, water, and cell (AT&T) were good. Park is a good place for a short stay, but not a destination. We would camp here again in our motorhome. - kmgulf

We stayed 1 night while driving north. Friendly and helpful staff. Road is paved, site was on grass/dirt and somewhat level, long enough for 5er & truck and wide enough for slideout and awning. Hookups are very basic and working. WiFi was available, not fast and cutting out. Restrooms are there but I would not use them, look old, are old and could be way cleaner. Constant noise from I-5, not really bad but always present. It looks like there are a few longtimers in this park and it definitely could use some updates. We stayed as it was time to stop and because we couldn't find an earlier RV Park. I will not return. - CamperAndy

I lived in a cabin here for over a year and saw this "resort" literally fall apart in that time. They advertise a lake and fishing, but the lake dried up and all the fish were left to die and rot. They advertise wifi, and only a select few sites within the short antenna range can get it. They advertise ckean restrooms and showers and they are not. They advertise pool and jacuzzi, but the jacuzzi has been broken since spring of 2013. Nothing gets repaired, except for the restaurant bar, and that's a lot of fun on weekends with all the obnoxious drunks allowed to run around the park disturbing residents. There is no security, and the assessment fees we as residents pay gets us nothing but our holding tanks pumped out, and that is even hit and miss. The only thing that kept me there was the fishing, and now all that is left of that is the rotting carcases that the grounds crew refused to clean up. If I had to pull in here for an emergency, I would probably use the rest stop across the highway. Stay away and maybe the owner will clean up the park and concentrate on the resort instead of the restaurant. - Kampzite

This park is far from a "Resort." Upside, it's pretty family friendly. Playground, pool/spa, basketball court, clubhouse. Downside, it's very run down. We were to get a shady grass spot, but most of the sites are on concrete with no trees, which could be VERY HOT in our Valley Summers. Also, there are no fire pits or BBQ's. Picnic tables are very scarce and "first come, first served." There is not even one table per site, which is kind of annoying. This park was definitely WAY over priced. - Tulare Family

This park is fine for an overnight. The big issue is that they charge for the shower. They have water for the grass, but charge to use the shower (go figure). There is a nice bike trail adjacent to the park. The six transient sites are on grass and depending when you get there, they will have water standing on them. The park uses self-registration even though the office may be staffed. The plus is the ease to get to the park and back on the road again. - A hitch and hop
Nov 2013 - $20.00
The $20.00 price was based on the Passport America rate and was too much given the facilities. The sites were not level and with our slides out we were on the edge of our site on both sides. They had just topped all of their trees so there was absolutely no shade. The park has very limited amenities and was noisy due to the highway and train tracks. We would not stay there again. - mamestra

Right off freeway so great for one or two nights. Exit is onto the on ramp for freeway so can be risky. Grass sites, not very level. They water daily so site is always wet. Would probably not stay there again. No office, no service. - mesa campers

This is not a resort by any stretch of the imagination. You have to choose between having full hookups or having some space, both are the same price. We had reserved full hookups but our site was so narrow we couldn't put our awning out. There was no water in the river at all.
The gated entrance is a hassle since newcomers have to park right in front of it to register while current residents wait to drive through. The roads are narrow. The sites are set among large trees but our views were mostly of our neighbors' rigs. I am very well acquainted with the exterior decor of a certain brand of fifth wheel. It's quiet because most of the residents are permanent and work during the day. We didn't have a fire ring since they are not at the FHU sites. We didn't even have a picnic table since our site was a pull through and the only space for one is either in front or behind our rig. This park has a lot of potential if the owners would reconfigure the sites to provide space and FHU. Until then we won't return. - Fiesta on wheels

Alas, the ravages of No Water have descended upon this once fair campground leaving only a dried and dusty remnant. The river has been long gone for a few years leaving only a sand filled riverbed that plays host to off roaders who create dust clouds that make you cough and leave a coat of dust on everything. The park is filled with long term residents, long stored vehicles and boats, and it looks like it. The office carries no information about the surrounding area and its sightseeing features or history. The park is quiet unless the occasional drinking party is in session well past the quiet time. Lots of off leash dogs but none appeared to be aggressive. Crowded together sites, no real privacy (ie: trees, bushes between sites). I will not return to this park and I suggest you avoid making reservations here, also. - socalretiree

Wine country weekend so price was higher, still one of the cleanest and best maintained parks we have ever stayed at. This is our 5th time staying there, they had several wineries set up in the club house for free tasting and some great cheese. The staff as usual had us checked in and in our site within 15 minutes I thought when the park was sold to Sun it would not be the same . I was wrong they have only made it better. - tazman1953

We where here on a busy weekend and the park was packed. Cars and trucks where parked anywhere there was space making getting thru the park difficult. The sites are extremely tight with most being the buddy system. Never saw anyone enforcing the rules, so it was loud with a lot of partying. Maybe if the park had not been full it would have been a more positive experience. The new owners are not doing as good a job managing the park. - sjones

Camp Roberts is a military famcamp RV park. You must have a military ID of some type to stay here. It is located on the Camp Roberts California National Guard base 13 miles north of Paso Robles. The base is in horrible, decrepit condition. Shameful, actually. I feel bad for our National Guardsmen. The RV park is about four miles into the base and very poorly signed. There is road construction that makes finding it even more difficult. There are No bathrooms. Full hookups, but they are all on telephone poles. Gravel and/or dirt sites which are pretty level. Absolutely nothing around for many miles in all directions. No grass or shade anywhere. If you are looking for a one night stop over with full hookups, for ten dollars it's a good deal. For anything else, skip it. - Don Geidel

We stayed here 3 nights. The staff is very friendly and nice. The location is great for wine tasting and touring Big Sur. The Wi-Fi is excellent. We were in site 21, which backs up to Hwy 101 and is very noisy. We slept with our air conditioner fan on to drown out the highway noise (worked perfectly). They have a lounge on property with happy hour specials and had a local wine tasting while we were there. - Longhorn Fan

Check in was very quick and the staff was friendly and helpful. The clubhouse, office, and store were all clean and spacious. There is a large pool and spa with a nice large patio. The only reason I gave this park less than a ten is because the lower priced spots (which we had) back right up against Hwy 101. This is a busy route that connects Southern California with Northern California. During the day it's tolerable, but at night it does disturb sleeping. The park itself is very nice, it's kept very clean. The only grass is in the dog run and horseshoe pit. This is great due to the drought here. The spots are all stamped concrete and very level. The main reason we stayed here was due to a special that has now expired. We would probably not stay here again due to the noise, and the fact that there are other parks not far away. - Patron48

Park is faultless. Spotlessly clean, many great amenities, level concrete pads. I cannot give it more than a 5 due to the racket from the highway out front. Made it a point to get a site farthest from the road but still was annoyed by the noise all night. Highway 101 is a main route for heavy trucking. This place would be a 10 if there was a sound wall blocking the road noise like in many bigger cities. - User3674

We opted for this park, as reviews were excellent, even though expensive. The printed park rules are rigid and include restrictions on noise and disturbances; however, continually barking dogs and campers loudly talking on cell phones were the norm. We will be glad to stay only one night. Close quarters, many long term RV-ers, probably nice for them. Clean, gravel, level pad, long enough for rig + tow vehicle, pull through. But not at all restful. - Raenbow

Easy access from 101 north or south. Monthly patrons are situated around perimeter of park and transients are in level, nicely graveled, wide pull-thrus. All utilities are conveniently located with good power and water pressure as well as the six channel cable TV. Was here during California's storm of the decade and was high and dry because of hill top location! Staff are extremely helpful and friendly! - RJourney

2015 Assen Post-Race Round Up: Title Races, Maturity Joe, And Miller Madness
You would think with the deluge of words which has washed over the incident between Marc Márquez and Valentino Rossi in the last corner (and to which I contributed more than my fair share, I must confess) that there were only two riders and one race at Assen on Saturday. Beyond the clash at the GT chicane, there was much more to talk about after Holland.
Whatever the immediate aftermath of the clash between Márquez and Rossi, the longer term implications of the result have made the championship even more interesting. Márquez' decision to switch back to the 2014 chassis for his Repsol Honda RC213V has been proven to be the correct one. Though the engine is still as aggressive as ever, the old chassis in combination with the new swingarm and new forks tested at Le Mans has made the bike much more manageable. Márquez can now slide the rear on corner entry in a much more controlled way than before, taking away the behavior the reigning champion has struggled with most. The Spaniard showed he could be competitive from the start of the race to the end, instead of crashing out as the tires started to go off.
The bike is still a long way from cured, however. Márquez switched to the medium front tire rather than the soft, the only rider to do so. The medium provides a bit more support under braking, compensating for the reduced braking from the rear wheel. That support comes at the cost of extra grip provided by the softer front. Whether Márquez will be able to employ that same strategy for the rest of the season remains to be seen. For a start, Assen is not a very typical track, featuring a lot more flowing corners than usual. At circuits with more corners needing hard braking, the challenge will be greater. The next race is at the Sachsenring, where asymmetric front tires will be on offer. How the Honda deals with that will be interesting.
A more competitive Márquez will certainly liven the championship up. After Lorenzo swept the previous four races, a Rossi comeback gave him back the advantage in the championship. Without Márquez, Rossi would only have extended his lead by five more points, but the Repsol Honda man put himself between the two Movistar Yamaha teammates, meaning that Lorenzo's deficit grew to ten points. With ten races to go, the championship is still wide open, though realistically, it is only between Rossi and Lorenzo. But the influence of a rider who is consistently capable of inserting himself between the two Yamahas could end up having a major effect on the championship.

Press releases from the teams and Bridgestone after Saturday's exhilarating Dutch TT at Assen:
2015 Assen MotoGP Post-Race Round Up, Part 1: Rossi vs Marquez
Great final corners make history, every track should have one. A chicane, or a wide, tight final turn which allows riders to attempt a desperate last-gasp plunge up the inside, or for the exceptionally brave, round the outside, for the win. The truly great corners have just enough options after the turn for the attacking rider to make a mistake and let the rider he just passed retake the lead.
Assen has such a final corner. And not just a great final corner, but also a great sequence of corners which lead up to it, allowing riders to both plan ahead and to react to the unexpected. On Saturday, Assen's GT Chicane, and the complex from De Bult all the way to the exit of Ramshoek, delivered spectacular and exhilarating racing. It also delivered a moment which will go down in the annals of MotoGP history, and be debated for years to come. It might even prove to be the decisive moment in the 2015 championship.
The names of the protagonists should come as no surprise: Valentino Rossi led into the final corner, with Marc Márquez in hot pursuit. What happened next depends on whose version of events you wish to believe, as the participants differ in their perceptions. Rossi says he turned in to the first part of the chicane in front, got bumped wide by Márquez, and had no choice but to gas it across the gravel to avoid crashing. Márquez says he had the inside line in the corner, Rossi cut him off, then cut the corner on purpose to take the win. Which version is the truth? We'll come to that later, but to understand what happened we have to go back to the beginning of the race.
2015 Assen MotoGP Friday Round Up: On Rossi's Assen Magic, And Old Tires vs New Tires vs Soft Tires
Jeremy Burgess was famous for finding that special something on Sunday morning that gave Valentino Rossi the edge in the race in the afternoon. It is a tradition carried on by Silvano Galbusera, who has replaced Burgess since the start of the 2014 season. Galbusera, too, always seems to find that extra little tweak during warm up that makes the difference between cruising in fourth or finishing on the podium, and even on the top step. The fact that it has continued since Burgess' departure suggests that the tweaks were very much a collaborative effort, with input coming from his data engineers and mechanics, as well as the rider himself, of course.
Two weeks ago in Barcelona, Rossi's team appeared to have found something extra special. For it did not just work on the Sunday in Catalonia, taking Rossi from the third row all the way up to 2nd, but it has even carried through to Assen, some 1600km further north. Rossi was quick from the moment he rolled out of pit lane for the first time at Assen, and has been at or near the top of the timesheets ever since. In this form, Rossi may well have expected to have been on the front row, but he went better than that. Putting in one of the best laps of his recent career with a couple of minutes to go, he simply hammered the opposition. As a sign of just how dominant he was at Assen, he led the second fastest man, Aleix Espargaro, by nearly a quarter of a second. The next quarter of a second difference covers second place to eleventh, from Aleix Espargaro to Danilo Petrucci. It is incredibly close at Assen, except at the front. One man reigns supreme.

2015 Assen Thursday Round Up: Honda vs Yamaha, Races Saved and Races Changed
If the Honda is so bad, why are two RC213Vs at the top of the timesheets? That seems like a very valid question, given the public struggles which all of the Honda riders have had with the bike this year. Has the 2014 chassis finally fixed the Honda's ailments? Is Márquez back?
If only it were that simple. Firstly, of course, Marc Márquez never went away. The double world champion still possesses a gargantuan talent, and the desire and will to use it. He was hampered by many aspects of the 2015 bike, including both the engine and the chassis. The 2015 chassis, he explained at Assen, was more precise and could be used more accurately. Unfortunately, the only way to get the best out of it was to ride it like every lap was a qualifying lap. That level of intensity is just not sustainable over race distance. At some point, you will make a mistake, and the 2015 chassis punishes mistakes mercilessly. So HRC have reverted to a hybrid version, using a 2014 chassis and the new swingarm which Márquez first tested at Le Mans. That works better for Márquez: he has been forced to sacrifice some precision, but at least now he has a chance to recover from mistakes.
2015 Assen MotoGP Preview - Great Natural Tracks, Beating Lorenzo, And The Future Of Brno
Assen is a funny old track. And when I say old, I mean old, the event has been on the calendar since 1925, though there was no such thing as world championship, and the race took place between Rolde, Borger and Schoonloo, some ten kilometers east of Assen. From 1926, it moved to a route between the villages of De Haar, Oude Tol, Hooghalen, Laaghalen and Laaghalerveen. The roads, forced into short straights with fast sweeping kinks and bends by the complex drainage patterns of the creeks and ditches which keep the region from reverting back to peat bogs, gave shape to the track which was to follow. They still leave their mark on the circuit today, despite being a closed circuit since 1955, though the track has been much shortened since then.
What remains is a track with nary a straight piece of asphalt on it. The back straight meanders between the Strubben hairpin and the fast right and long left of the Ruskenhoek, living up to its name of Veenslang, or Peat Snake. The short stretches between the fast combinations of corners weave and flow, and the only thing keeping the front straight straight is the pit wall. As a piece of geometric design, it is a disaster. As a race track, it is glorious, proving that the best tracks are not designed on paper, but laid out in a landscape. Mugello, Phillip Island, Assen: all great riders track, each owing a debt of gratitude to the landscape which forms them.
All these fast, flowing bends where riders barely touch the brakes – comparatively, for a MotoGP race that is – reward a bike that can carry corner speed and change direction easily. A bike that rewards a steady hand and a smooth style. In other words, a rider like Jorge Lorenzo on a bike like a Yamaha YZR-M1. Lorenzo has been fearsome around Assen in the past, laying down a pace impossible for mere mortals to follow. Having won the last four races in a row, Lorenzo is in pretty terrifying form as well. "I am in the best shape of my life," Lorenzo told the press conference, joking that he had even beat his personal trainer on a mountain bike ride for the first time. The Yamaha is strong, and Lorenzo is strong. Who can beat him?

Forty years ago this Saturday Jaws was released in cinemas. The film's theme tune still reverberates in people's minds: a spooky riff synonymous with approaching danger.
Over the past four races Jorge Lorenzo has bitten shark-sized chunks out of Valentino Rossi; 28 points, to be exact. With seven rounds done and 11 to go, he is just one point adrift of his team-mate and poised for the kill. Or is he? Perhaps Lorenzo's momentum is unstoppable or perhaps Rossi can rally himself.
Of course, the nine-time champ has been here before. Way back in 2009 he likened Lorenzo and the other new kids on the block to sharks. "If I am not strong, I know they will eat me in one bite," he said. "They look at me with a little bit of blood flowing and maybe they think, OK, now is the time."
2015 Barcelona MotoGP Test Notes: Honda's 2014/2015 Hybrid, And The Frustration Of Weather
Frustration and resignation. Those were the two most prominent emotions at the post-race MotoGP test at Barcelona. Two sides of the same coin, in reality, as the weather robbed teams in desperate need of track time of any chance of doing the hard work which will make them all a bit more competitive. After an hour and a half of a dry track, a massive thunderstorm washed over the circuit, drenching the track and leaving it wet for the rest of the day. Dani Pedrosa was phlegmatic about the situation. " The weather is what it what is," he shrugged. "Obviously it would have been perfect for it to have stayed dry but we don't control that."
In the Tech 3 garage, Pol Espargaro, suffering badly through a slump in his form, did nothing to hide his frustration. "We tested two things, one of them was not good, one of them was good, we improve a little bit. Then the rain comes, it's impossible to make one fast lap time, impossible to make a rhythm, impossible to make anything. We are looking to go to Assen to continue, because it was a disaster today." It has been a tough year for the younger of the two Espargaro brothers, as he is struggling to ride the Yamaha, a bike which requires a radically different approach than his natural tendency, to move around, and be aggressive.
The rain was perhaps toughest on Marc Márquez. Márquez' biggest problem is on corner entry, where he cannot slide the rear controllably once it touches down during braking. The reigning world champion feels strongly that braking is where he has his biggest advantage, and the ability to either pass or make up time on his opponents. Take away that advantage and he feels shackled, fighting with one hand behind his back.
2015 Barcelona Sunday MotoGP Round Up: The Stuff Champions Are Made Of
Barcelona was the place the champions emerged. In Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP, riders laid a solid claim to the titles in their respective classes. Danny Kent rode with heart and head, and won the Moto3 race with a plan, extending his lead in the championship to 51 points. Johann Zarco pulled back a big gap and made the right move when it mattered most, extending his lead to 40 points. And Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi demolished all-comers to make it a Yamaha one-two, and to push their lead out to 43 and 44 points respectively, the Movistar Yamaha men separated by a single point between them. A lot can happen in the eleven races which remain, but the chances of the three titles not bearing the names of three of those four men are getting slimmer by the race. The fat lady is still a long way from starting to sing, but you get a sneaking suspicion that you just heard her taxi pull up at the artists' entrance.
While in Moto2 and Moto3, the title favorites have a name, in MotoGP we know only the team likely to lift the trophy in Valencia. To say that the factory Movistar Yamaha team dominated the MotoGP race in Barcelona is an understatement. While Valentino Rossi chased another metronomic performance from Jorge Lorenzo, behind them their rivals were either falling by the wayside or finishing nearly twenty seconds off the pace. Marc Márquez, Andrea Dovizioso and Aleix Espargaro crashed, Dani Pedrosa finished third just under twenty seconds behind the Yamahas, and Andrea Iannone was the first factory Ducati home, with a gap equating to a pace nearly a second a lap slower than that of the Yamahas. Jorge Lorenzo has won the last four races on the trot, Valentino Rossi has picked up two more, and not been off the podium so far this season, leaving only Austin to Marc Márquez. Even then, the Repsol Honda man won that race with a much smaller margin than usual at the track.
Jorge Lorenzo gave yet another demonstration of just how strong his riding is at the moment. The Spaniard grabbed the lead at the first corner – frustratingly so for Aleix Espargaro, who had got off the line well but started to suffer as the Suzuki changed up the gearbox, the lack of a seamless shift meaning he lost eight or nine places in the long run down to the first turn – and proceeded to make the break so many feared he would. Marc Márquez gave chase, but lasted less than three laps, the reigning champion throwing his title chances away at the La Caixa corner. Valentino Rossi rode brilliantly to work his way up to second from the third row of the grid, but left himself with too much work to do to catch Lorenzo. As the laps started ticking down, it looked like he might just manage that, but Lorenzo responded just enough to keep a healthy buffer between himself and his teammate. It wasn't an epic race by any stretch of the imagination, but there was tension and there was interest.
2015 Barcelona Saturday MotoGP Round Up: Suzuki's Triumph, Lorenzo's Pace, And Preventing Moto3 Towing Madness
1993. That was the last time there were two Suzukis in the first two positions on the grid. Then, it was Kevin Schwantz and Alex Barros who qualified first and second at Jerez. Now, twenty-two years and six weeks later, it is Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales. Then, Suzuki were at the height of their competitiveness, before beginning their slow decline which went on until they withdrew at the end of the 2011 season. Now, Suzuki is back after a three-year absence, with a brand new prototype at the start of its development. Taking pole and second in just their seventh race is quite an achievement for Suzuki, and vindication of their choice to build an inline four, something they know all too well, rather than messing around with a V4, as they had done throughout the MotoGP era.
It is also a vindication for the team of people Suzuki chose to lead their return to MotoGP. Davide Brivio has proven to be a shrewd team manager, to nobody's surprise. Tom O'Kane, Aleix Espargaro's crew chief, has been instrumental in providing direction to the development of the bike. Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales have lived up to their expectations, combining experience, attitude and a hunger for success.
Of course, there are no points for qualifying, and Suzuki's front row positions came at least in part with the artificial performance boost of the soft rear tire available to the Open teams and factories with concessions. But Espargaro and Viñales still had to put in the time, and they had to beat the Ducatis, who have the same concessions as they do. They deserve their position, was the near universal feeling among Suzuki's rivals.

MOUNT CLEMENS — Two men sustained non-life-threatening injuries and three men are in custody following a double shooting in Mount Clemens May 4.
Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said it's still unknown if the three men who were arrested shortly after the shooting at Clemens and Court streets at around 9 p.m. were involved.
"Deputies responding to the shooting saw a vehicle driving away from the scene at a high rate of speed," said Wickersham. "They were eventually pulled over and one of the three men inside got out and fled on foot."
The sheriff said that while the two suspects inside the car were detained, the third was found hiding out inside a nearby residence.
"A search warrant was obtained and during a subsequent search of the residence a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun was recovered," Wickersham said.
The three men — a 23-year-old from Mount Clemens, a 39-year-old from Mount Clemens and an 18-year-old from Roseville — were ultimately arrested on charges not relating to the shooting. Those charges include resisting and obstructing, fleeing and eluding, possession of marijuana and receiving and concealing a stolen firearm.
They were expected to be arraigned May 6.
The victims, a 17-year-old from New Haven and a 17-year-old from Eastpointe, were treated and released from McLaren Macomb in Mount Clemens. One suffered a gunshot wound to his foot and the other to his calf.
Wickersham said detectives are continuing their investigation and awaiting MSP forensic lab results to determine if the recovered weapon and the bullet taken from one of the victims matches.
It is unclear what led to the shooting.
"We're not getting much information from the victims who say they don't know what happened," said Wickersham. "The suspects have not admitted to anything (as it pertains to the shooting)."
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Macomb County Sheriff's Detective Bureau at (586) 307-9358.

By Jon Fisher, The Nature Conservancy
I was recently asked a question about "compostable" food packaging being used by some grocers like Trader Joe's and how "green" they are. As a scientist who strives to be as green as possible, this is the kind of question that keeps me up at night! So I thought it would be fun to research.
The short, scientific answer is that skipping packaging entirely is best if possible, but otherwise for most consumers the compostable containers are probably slightly better than traditional plastics (with several caveats, explained below).
It probably comes as no surprise that it's better to buy produce that comes unpackaged — e.g., buy your grains or beans in bulk rather than in small bags. This practice is especially true if you skip putting the produce in a plastic bag or reuse the bags or Tupperware you use to bring them home (I give plastic bags a quick rinse and hang them to dry in the kitchen).
Do your onions or lemons (or any produce with skin that keeps it fresh) really need their own bag, or can they just go in the shopping cart and then in your tote bag before being unpacked at home?
But sometimes produce doesn't come in bulk (e.g. berries), and some stores package produce that doesn't need it. So if no packaging isn't an option, the question remains as to whether or not "compostable" containers are better than traditional plastic. There are several factors to consider.
First, there are two basic kinds of compostable containers:
- The ones that look like natural plant fiber, such as the packages Whole Foods uses for their salad bar. These are often made from bamboo, grass, sugar cane or other similar materials. They are tree-free, typically break down in a home composter within a month or two (my vermicomposter takes about a month) and are always a great option.
- The ones that look like plastic are usually corn-based polylactic acid (PLA), can't be recycled and can only be composted in a special commercial facility.
The traditional plastic containers at the grocery store are typically #1 plastic (PET). So those are sometimes, but not always, recyclable.
It's a plus if the container didn't require petroleum to manufacture, since that helps wean us off of oil (although there is some concern that increasing global demand for corn for PLA and ethanol is driving higher food costs). Both kinds of compostable containers also typically require less energy to produce (e.g. PLA requires about 25-51 percent less energy than conventional plastics).
What are the disposal options for each of these packages? See the chart on the next page for a quick synopsis.

Thwack Thuderbird Racket
Dear All,
Thwack is an Indian brand with scope and market targeting similar to Apacs, Fleet etc. I recently heard about them and also heard that they are doing some real good thing and also tied with Chinese ex shuttler Guabao for developing racket for them . I recently ordered a Thunderbird Racket which costed me dead cheap 40$ when one of my friend who have used BS15 and T9000 told that is better in terms of raw power and control . It is a stiff 3U ( 87-80 gms) head heavy ( HM carbon grahite ) racket with designed to deliver the swing for the most offensive style . He told me its a beast and the best he ever tried . I will get it and post pictures and my 2 cents about it .

Finally got my Thunderbird racket and tried it on the court for 2 hours . Boy it is a beast !!.
The racket looks nice and sober in black and wine red with white and a black shaft . True to its style of a hidden beast . Attachment 166569
It was strung with BG65 at 30lbs 1 piece bottom up on ES5 pro .
Coming to racket construction .
It has a box frame with voltric design with bulge at 6,10 and 2 o clock and is very strong . it will be ok at 34lbs . The shaft is slim 7mm with 7.5-8 stiffness and Dry BP at 295mm . It share is characteristics with voltric 80 but with a slight more stiffness but less than NS9900 . The weight is 86-90 gms and what I measured is 98 gms with over grip and string .
Coming to play .
Clears were as usual very nice and solid , not that solid as a ZF . Speed wise it is a winner since its weight is not to much and slim shaft really helps . This racket really shines when coming to smashes and drop shots . Smashes really packs a lot of punch and more than VT80 . The weight along with stiffness really puts all in the shuttle and the shuttle goes like boom . The racket has little vibration which really helps when coming to drop shots . You can actually feel the string bed slicing the feathers and it gives a lot of confidence since you can control the angle of drop shots. How ever it can be annoying since when you hit the sweet spot ( Little big due to stretched isometric frame ) it is ok but very punishing when you miss it . This racket demands correct technique but rewarding with lively crisp feeling .
Power - 9/10
Defence -8.5/10
Ease of use - 7.5/10
Xiong Guo Bao work on this brand really showing . It can be sure that none can go wrong with this racket when it comes to raw power and control.

BB Creams are the newest miracle product to hit the beauty scene. First appearing in the Western beauty market only a short year ago, many traditional beauty Bombshells are still trying to understand why they've caused such a commotion. Let's talk about the ABCs of BB creams and find out what they can do for you and your beauty routine.
A is for Anti
As in anti-wrinkle and anti-inflammatory. Derma E Evenly Radiant BB Cream contains antioxidants to slow the aging process and peptides to help prevent wrinkles. Coupled with SPF 25 and you've a great anti-aging system all in one bottle. As a very fair-skinned individual, I get fine lines and wrinkles very easily. It's important to me to have a product that can help me slow this process so I can keep trying to convince people I'm really only 29. I kid…I kid, mostly.
B is for Brightening and Blemish Treatment
These all-in-one creams do myriad of jobs which leave you with better skin than you had before. Glonaturals BB Cream uses natural, botanical-based ingredients to help diminish the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. I've suffered from noticeable dark spots on my face, particularly on my left side from the sun damage I suffer while driving. BB Cream is great for helping me cover, correct and prevent these spots from getting any worse.
C is for Coverage
The most touted benefit of BB Creams is the amazing coverage they provide. Physicians Formula Super BB All-In-1 Beauty Balm provides long-lasting, line-softening, concealing, brightening and smoothing effects in one lovely little tube of brilliance. With the added protection of a broad spectrum SPF 30, you couldn't dream of a more comprehensive beauty product.

"I would be remiss if I didn't write to tell you how delighted I have been with my Footwear etc. shopping experience. I recently purchased a pair of MBT Shoes via your website (at a great price, I might say), and then read a review that suggested buying them a 1/2 size larger than my usual size. I didn't want to wait until I received the shoes to try them on and decide, because the discounted shoes were limited. I went ahead and ordered the larger size too so I could keep the pair that fit the best. Gosh, you made the return process so easy! Even if I were paying the shipping, your rates are so reasonable that I wouldn't complain a bit. You're the kind of company that has made great use of technology. Your site is easy to use, and your approach to customer service makes me think that there's still hope in this world of ever-declining attitudes toward the customer. Keep up the good work. I'll be back. "

Exceptional Customer Service Representative
United States - Last active: 1 day ago - Tests: 5
I would like to expand my knowledge and skills on data entry, customer service and support, and office skills as well as other fields. But I excel in office skills and a personal or virtual assistant is definitely my profession of choice. I am a full-time, online student and maintain a 4.0 GPA in my studies. I am choosing to try to work from home because I have a one year old son and I would like to spend time with him more, not to mention the price of childcare is outrageous. I would love to learn new things and broaden my knowledge of subjects I don't know. Since education and learning is so important to me, I don't want to stop at school. I would love to learn about anything and everything.

100 Years of Aviation – Singapore
2011 marks a centennial of aviation in Singapore. Singapore saw her first aircraft, piloted by Mr Joseph Christiaens, take off from the racecourse in Farrer Park on 16 March 1911 and that marked the start of aviation in Singapore. Eight years later, on 4 December 1919 about 4:48pm, a pioneering flight from England to Australia, piloted by Captain (later Sir) Ross MacPherson Smith, with Lieutenant (later Sir) Keith MacPherson Smith as navigator, Sergeant Bennet and Sergeant Shiers, on a modified Vicker-Vimy biplane, landed on the racecourse in Farrer Park. From then, the development of our aviation industry never looked back.
