We were checking out RV Parks in the area for a future stay when we visited Blue Mesa Point. This place is very run down and unkempt, it looks more like an abandoned campground. It does have a view of the lake, but it is not that close. It is nothing like they advertise. I cannot understand how anyone could give it more than a 2 at best. We would never stay at this park. - Chis

We stayed at this park for 3 nights and it was great. The area is very nice and the park was clean and the people were very friendly. We had no problems parking there with our bus. Had a great time - 2010traveler

We camped here with our friends who camped in a tent. We both have kids under 5 and really enjoyed the large meadows and trails. The owners told us about the Jr. Ranger program at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Curecanti. The owner has a big lovable black lab, which has given all of our kids puppy fever. We also rented a boat at Lake Fork Marina which is about 2 minutes from this campground. We stayed for 3 days and it was not enough time to see everything there is to see in this area. This was definitely the most family friendly and open park we've been too do far on our trip. We will camp here again. - Samantha27

We stayed here four nights and had a blast! The sites are back in, but I have been backing up trailers since I was 8 years old (now 55), so I didn't have any issues with that. Played mini golf and spent the day on Blue Mesa in a pontoon boat, then had dinner at Pappy's! We had to cancel our horseback riding as a rain storm came through. Instead, we drove back through Gunnison and up Taylor Canyon for some 4-wheelin'! The staff was great and helped us with whatever we needed. We did join the club and will be back there in three weeks for their last open weekend of this camping season! Can't wait! While we are not big into fishing (which is one of the big attractions to this area), we decided that we liked this location as a base for our summer camping activities as it is central to a lot of the places we like to go in the Colorado mountains. And when we have out-of-towners visiting, we can always take advantage of the cabins, some of which also have an RV spot right next to them. The wifi was OK (they said that they are working on it) and in the site we were in, we had no OTA TV reception, and since our trailer was new, this was the first time we ever tried to hook up cable TV to it. We couldn't get any cable TV stations, so I asked one of the park's maintenance guys about it, and he and another guy came out to our site and checked the post and even hooked a TV up to it, and as it turned out the cable hookup in our new trailer is bad (warranty repair coming soon). Hope they don't get tired of us as we plan on spending lots of time there in the near future and beyond! We love Blue Mesa Ranch! Wish I could post some photos here . . . - John_D

We stayed here for 5 days on a promo tour of the ranch. When we checked in we were given site #88. We drove to the site and quickly figured out that we couldn't back into the site. It was long enough, but the road (paved) leading to it was just too narrow for us newbies (as the person giving backup instructions to driver, I suck) to use. We went down the road and snagged #79 instead. As a side note, the sites are all (or mostly) back-ins. If you're good with that then go for it. If you're not all the comfortable with the maneuvering then beware. The ranch is nice, it's peaceful, and this time of year no kids (nice). They have pools (indoor and outdoor). We tried them both, and on the best day we were there really enjoyed the outdoor "adults only" pool. The key is to be a member here. We liked the place, just didn't know if we'd use it all that often. We're not big fishers, ATVers or boaters, so just not our style of RVing. Other then that the staff is friendly, though somewhat absent, but that's OK, we really didn't need them for much. The area is lousy for cell service, you almost need to drive down to Gunnison (9 miles?) to get coverage (or go out in the middle of the lake.) The Wi-Fi (while improving) is still very spotty and unreliable. We got a pontoon boat for a day and had the BEST DAY ever on the lake! It's very pretty/peaceful out there. We enjoyed our stay, and we'll be back (if we can, as we didn't buy in to the membership). Our stay was free, as a promotion. - ErinandCorbin

One of the few parks we would give a 10! I will admit we were here after Labor Day and the "rug rats" were gone but, boy, is it peaceful! They are putting in a new Wi-Fi system and it is improving. Poor AT&T. Sites are nicely spaced and do require some leveling, but that goes with the territory. The peacefulness makes up for it! We plan to return. Rate reflects Coast-to-Coast member rate. - vmi1962

The actual cost is zero. These are seven "primitive" BLM sites scattered along a six-mile stretch of highway & creek where it winds through a canyon. Most are shaded and can accommodate a small to medium size RV; one has no shade and can accommodate big rigs - it's basically a big turnout. You'll be boon docking, so bring your own water & electricity. A few have pit toilets. There is no cellular service down in this canyon. I used the last site (going downstream toward Gunnison), #7 and loved the peace & quiet there. - Old Mountain Man

Great stopover location while touring Colorado Rockies. Convenient to Black Canyon of the Gunnison River. D-loop has 50-amp service (no sewer or water), but all sites were reserved during weekend. A-loop had numerous unreserved sites, but there are no hookups. Shade trees are scarce. Federal senior rates apply. We would come back here. - Ray Czaplewski

The park is set up like a daisy. With the majority of RV sites representing the pedals off the center of the park. Every other site/pedal is reversed, either pull-in or back-in. Because of this your front door faces your neighbor's front door. If both you and your neighbor sit outside in lawn chairs at the same time you are on top of each other, there is no privacy. Spacing between the RVs was so close in our case only one RV at a time could extend their awnings. The power, sewer & water hook ups are placed to close to the center of the daisy. They need to be located further into each site/pedal so the RVs can park deeper in each site/pedal. This would create more spacing between the RVs. If you have a large RV you may need 30' or more of sewer hose. Also, for our site, the sewer connection was up hill from the RV. This creates a real issue the day you disconnect and leave especially when you have to use 30' of sewer hose. The park is dog friendly with plenty of grass. The park staff were friendly. There was a stocked trout fishing pond (40 cents per pound for each fish caught) and other amenities for children. The park is located in a flat area near the end of the Gunnison airport runway. Although we could hear the planes landing and taking off, this really didn't impact us. We stayed 1 week. Would not stay here again. - Cave Tech

Nice grass. The owner works hard on the grass. Not a lot of grass in this neck of the woods. Some sites are small. The premiums are nice, and worth the $. Nice laundry. Close to town, and the airport. Very near the airport. Can be dusty, but the owners work hard to keep it down. Good little store. - Paradise Wanderlodge

This is one of the few KOAs that we like as they are very friendly and helpful, with nice facilities. Park is grassy, off hiway, spacious, and clean. Owners are extremely pet friendly. We had a large back-in with no one on either side so it made for a quiet stay. We will go back. - number one

Park is basically right on Blue Mesa Reservoir which was good for us as we were here to fish, and a nice public boat ramp across the highway from park. There are lots of permanent residents, but all is fairly well kept. Quiet hours are abided by, and the staff is friendly. We will stay again. - NM Fish
Oct 2014 - $35.00
Nice park. Lovely fall scenery with a lake view from our site. Nice people in the office. Great overnight if you are traveling Hwy 50. If you are a fisher person or boater and want hook ups this would be a good choice. My only complaint is the shower. I really do expect a free shower at private parks. They have very limited bathroom facilities. One Ladies and one Gentlemens which are just like your bathroom at home--one john,shower and sink ( too limited for 67 sites). Most folks don't care about this but it is big with me. I would have given them an 8 if they had better bathrooms. - NT2013

Sites are close together, but fairly level. Most sites are gravel, some have concrete patio. Very few pull-thrus. Very dusty. There are lots of semi-permanent residents. Office staff very helpful. Dog park is part of a ditch off to the side of a major hwy (US 50). No trash can to put doggy waste available nearby and only one dumpster in entire park. Excellent Wi-Fi available. - on the road 65

Just wanted to update with a more recent review. We stayed here 10 days and absolutely love this park. Very clean and spacious areas. Camp hosts were very helpful and friendly. Also, the early morning Remote Control Aircraft flyers were fun to watch. A lot of to do in the area. 10 days just isn't enough and we will return next year! - Gunny69

We stayed for 2 weeks in August, 2014. Stopped for a week and ended up staying 2. We love the 55+. There are a lot of return folks and we signed up for 2 months in 2015. The hosts are excellent. A nice covered area for pot lucks. The pull-thru sites are large enough for the largest rigs. - jlb27537

What is important to us: We are full-timers in a 45 foot class A coach. We don't care about bathrooms, or amenities for kids. This is a great park, with really great work campers. Many of the regulars that stay here, are dog people, and the large fenced in dog park is a great place to meet other folks staying at the park, and a great place for dogs to play with each other. The spots are ample in size, and well maintained. The verizon 4G signal is strong, so Internet access is very good. Many of the sites are "buddy sites", so if you are coming here with friends, try to arrange to be together. - Tiffin Wanderers

Rate was for a week's stay and also includes the $3/day extra for 50amp. We stayed here late season, so the park was emptying out. The fall colors there were gorgeous, and there's a sweet little stream that runs alongside. The owner put us in one of the best sites, after I asked for a satellite-friendly one (the cg is in a cottonwood forest). We had no problem getting signal with our roof-mounted dish and so enjoyed the beautiful location!! The sites near/next to the pond are lovely! Also found the owner to be very friendly and helpful when we needed extra hands for loading equipment. He obviously works hard to keep the cg in good shape and to help people into and out of their sites. I don't understand the other recent, rather poor, reviews of this place! We have done part-full time RVing for almost 6 years now and found this to be a very nice cg! And the so-called "trashy trailer park" another reviewer referred to wasn't visible/noticeable to us from the cg (in fact, I couldn't see it well enough to know if it was trashy or not!). We have a 40' motorhome and would definitely stay here again, esp. late season. - CarrieBearie

Probably was once a good family RV park. Nice log cabin style buildings. Beautiful outside pavilion, but all was run down with no activity for guest. When we arrived things were not right. Entrance was overgrown with tree limbs rubbing side of rig. Part of office ceiling had falling down. Guided us thru the back forty and parked us beside a year around renter. Grass had not been mowed. Would not stay here again. - ghhensley

Our 5th Wheel had broke a spring and we were towed to this park. We couldn't have been happier! This is a quiet little park nestled among many tall trees. This is a very well kept RV park. The host was very gracious. The restrooms/showers/laundry are spotless. We were not able to connect to Wi-Fi from our site, but we had a MIFI we use anyway. They had a potluck on July 4th and there are plenty of activities going on such as crafts and cards. We don't normally stay in RV parks, but we'd definitely go back to this one. We were there for 2 weeks waiting for our 5th wheel to be fixed. The only negative was it was very dusty and cotton was flying all around. The owner had the park fogged twice for mosquitos while we were there. - jacknpeg

This is my ducky.
There are many like it but this one is mine…. for eternity.
That chick is flat-out duckin' crazy.
i give their marriage a year tops.
I give it a year after the baby is born.
Taken right before he threw a toaster in the water. No jury will convict him.
"Stop lookin' at me SWAN!"
-"Buying this swan buoy was the second best decision I ever made!!!"
-"Honey, what number am I?"
I am assuming she is sending a message to her husband with this photo. It is either about choking him to death or drowning him if he tries to leave her.
"Dis how swan look!"
Her fake cans look kind of small. Did they shrink in the cold water?
"Take a picture of me with my floaty then put it on Instagram!"
"If I do, will you take off my tracking collar? It's really starting to chafe."
I bet the husband picked out the swan in hopes that muteness is contagious.
I know this one. The story of the ugly duckling. And the swan.
Are you deaf, bitch! I did *not* say "squeeze my duck".
She gives off crazy with her arms wrapped around an inflatable swan's neck too.
Crazy or not, she's all kinds of fuckable.
Fuck a duck
dont know anything about the dude, but i sure hope there's some sort of prenup to protect her.

The Vein of Gold: A Journey to Your Creative Heart
Putnam, 1996 - Self-Help - 368 pages
In The Vein of Gold: A Journey to Your Creative Heart, Cameron again draws from her extensive artistic and teaching experience to lead readers toward ever-widening creative horizons. An extraordinary book of learning through doing, The Vein of Gold features inspiring teachings on the creative process and more than one hundred imaginative, involving, and energizing tasks. Each task involves the reader in "inner play," leading to authentic growth, renewal, and healing.
Arranged as "a journey to the heart of creativity," the book guides readers through seven kingdoms: The Kingdom of Story, where the formative power of language empowers the creation of our guiding self-image; The Kingdom of Sight, where we learn to receive information holistically and honor our most personal impressions, intuitions, and feelings; The Kingdom of Sound, where we tune in to the melodic flow of creative life, literally making each day more "sound"; The Kingdom of Relationship, where we sharpen the skills and develop the will to choose the companions we can really trust; The Kingdom of Attitude, where the negative self-talk that weighs us down is cast off as we learn to pursue our creative efforts with lighter hearts; The Kingdom of Spirituality, which teaches us to examine and strengthen conscious contact with the higher realms for a working partnership with unsuspected inner resources; and The Kingdom of Possibility, where the reader comes to fully inhabit his or her creative life vision.

Considering extending credit to another business? Learn how to protect yourself and abide by the government laws regarding extension of credit and debt collection.
It is important that your customer fills out a credit application so that you have a written agreement regarding the transaction. The application should contain basic information about the business customer (i.e. name, address, years in business, trade references, commercial credit score) which can be used to make a preliminary assessment of whether or not it would be a good idea to extend credit to the customer. Most creditors require three trade references who can be contacted for information on the customer's credit history.
Credit Policy
A comprehensive credit policy will include an investigation into the credit history of the company and owner. Dun & Bradstreet is widely used for company credit reports, while for individual reports Trans Union, Experion, and Equifax rank highly. The commercial credit score provides a quantitative method to gauge whether or not a company can fulfill its debt obligations within 90 days past the due date. The score lies within a range of 101-670, where a score of 101 is likely to default, and a score of 670 is not likely to default.
You will also have to set the number of months that you will provide financing, established interest rate, due date, and penalties for late payments. Having an established interest rate in the range of 1-2% provides incentive for customers to make timely payments. For more information on writing credit forms, visit the Small Business Administration's website.
Late Payments
In order to determine a reasonable collection due date, research the industry averages for accounts receivable turnover. Regardless of how careful you are in extending credit, there are going to be customers who default on their loans. There are several ways that you can deal with late payments. Contact your local consumer protection agency, which can offer advice and insights into state laws that relate to debt collection.
Depending on your industry, other options include use of a collection agency, which will take a cut of the amount collected for the courts. For more expensive inventory, security interest gives you the right to seize or sell the goods if the customer doesn't meet the terms of payment. In order to take advantage of security interest, you will need a security agreement and UCC financing statement.
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act are all laws worth knowing before extending credit. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, says that businesses cannot discriminate in their extension of credit to people based upon "race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age," or because of their participation in a government assistance program. The Fair Credit Reporting Act is a U.S. federal law that dictates how you can collect, distribute, and use consumer credit information. And, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, part of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, is used to govern consumer debt collection. It lays out guidelines for how debts can be collected and how consumers can contest and validate information regarding debt.

Kita Jones decided to play in his first Decatur Gus Macker 3-on-3 Tournament in 1989, and was looking for teammates when Decatur resident Chan Day told him he had the perfect guy.
"He said he had a nephew in Memphis and he was looking to get on a team," Jones recalled. "I said, 'Is he good?' He told me he was going to Arkansas. Well, that didn't mean anything. He told me he was 6-7. I told him, 'I hope he's decent.' "
That player turned out to be Todd Day, who became a star at Arkansas and was later the No. 8 pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. Day wowed Decatur fans by winning the slam dunk contest — beating out Jones, who had won the first Decatur Gus Macker dunk contest in 1987. But in the tournament, Jones and Day ran into a team that featured Ron Jones, big man Hank Cornley and Kita's older brother Kip — and lost.
That was the first time Kip and Kita Jones were on a Macker court together, but far from the last. Two years later, they teamed up and went on to make Macker history — along with teammates Louis Jones and Tony Holifield — becoming part of the Gus Macker inaugural Hall of Fame class in 1998.
The Gus Macker is returning to Decatur this weekend for the first time in 15 years. Kip and Kita Jones will be honored Saturday morning before the start of the tournament. The following is an oral history of their reign as kings of the Macker.
The formation
Kip and Kita Jones were both MacArthur graduates who played college basketball at Lincoln College in Jefferson, Mo. But both were better known, along with fellow MacArthur grad Louis Jones — no relation — for dominating Decatur's competitive park scene.
Kip played on the 1988 Decatur Gus Macker runner-up with Cornley and Ron Jones (no relation), then won the title with the same group the next year.
But the Joneses were also playing AAU ball in the summer. Kita played on a team organized by Decatur man Mike Stark. It was Stark's idea to bring the Joneses together.
Kip: Mike was a close friend to all of us — he loved sports and he loved basketball. He was our promoter, coach and advisor. He became an important part of how the team ran. He gave us a lot of good advice.
Kip: (In 1991), Kita's team had asked me to play, but I was already committed to that other team. Kita's team beat us, and those guys jumped all over me, saying I should have been playing with them. So after my commitment with the team I was on was up, I joined up with them. Everyone said I was the missing piece.
Kita: The main thing was that me and my brother knew each other's games, and we knew Louis' game from playing at the parks. We ran the court at the parks.
Tony Holifield grew up in Decatur and attended Lakeview until his sophomore year, when his family moved out of Decatur. He went on to play at Illinois State, and when he joined Kita and Louis Jones on a Gus Macker team in 1991, he was the only one of the group to have played NCAA Division I basketball.
Kita: (Stark) knew Holifield from Lakeview, and we had played together a couple times and had some chemistry.
The reign
The team formed in 1991 was called Above the Rim Jones, and was sponsored by the Above the Rim apparel and Reebok. The next year, when Kip joined the team, they were renamed the Above the Rim Slammers.
Kita: We were at a tournament up in Michigan and the Macker founder (Scott McNeal) introduced Mike Stark to the Reebok people. (McNeal) wanted us to travel around and play. The sponsors paid for clothing, hotels, food and expenses. They paid for us to go to Michigan, California, Atlanta … everywhere. Mike would do the negotiating. He was the backbone of the operation. He set up everything.
Kip: That shocked us a little bit. We knew we had a good team, but those kinds of sponsors — that was a surprise.
In 1991, Above the Rim Jones featuring Kita, Louis, Holifield and David Stewart finished second to the Tappers of Appleton, Wisc. Kip replaced Stewart the next year. Kip — usually playing with Kita, Louis and Holifield — won the last seven Decatur Macker tournaments. But that was only part of the Slammers' success. They won the national tournament in Belding, Mich., in back-to-back years (1992 and 1993) and also won highly competitive tournaments in Indianapolis, Springfield, Champaign, Peoria and all across the country.
Kita: We knew once we started playing and winning a couple tournaments, we had something special going on. We were playing against ex-NBA guys, ex-CBA guys, guys playing overseas, and we were beating them. We started thinking, 'We've got something going here.' The more we won, the more we started thinking, 'We might as well have some fun and travel all around playing.' We didn't make big-time money — we didn't make a living doing it. But it was nice. We didn't have to pay for anything.
Kip: I knew we had something when we won our first national championship. We lost our second game of the tournament, and when you lose in the Macker, you go to the loser's bracket and have to win a bunch of games to work your way back. In one day, we played six games in the 95-degree sun to get back to the championship game, and we won it. That's when I realized we were relentless, and that if we put our minds to it, we could do anything in the Mackers.
Rodney Walker (1991 St. Teresa grad who later played at New Mexico State and had a successful pro career overseas): Those guys were older than me, but I grew up playing against them. At that time, Decatur produced grimy basketball players. They were never the tallest. They always had to fight for whatever they could get. They played with their hearts — like they had something to prove.
Prior to the Slammers' success, conventional wisdom was that a dominant post and a ball-handling point guard were the keys to success in 3-on-3 basketball. But the Slammers broke the mold. They had good size — Holifield was 6-7, Kip 6-5, Kita 6-3 and Louis 6-3 — but none of them were true posts or point guards. They won with versatility, nasty defense and supreme confidence.
Kita: We all knew how to play every position and guard every position. We could guard 7-footers but we could also buckle down and guard quick guys. We could all handle, we could all shoot, we could all post up and the big thing is we could all guard.
McNeal (as told to H&R reporter Arvin Donley in 1996): The 3-on-3 game tends to place a lot of emphasis on individual offensive type skills rather than pulling up the shorts and getting scrappy on defense. That's what (the Slammers) are known for. They always play great defense. They play every tournament with a passion.
Walker: They had every angle of 3-on-3 figured out. They knew where to cheat on defense and they knew to rest on offense. They would pass it around and get a break when they had the ball, but they always worked their butts off on defense.
Kip: We had mastered the game of 3-on-3. We could guard a 6-10 guy and hold him at bay, we all had speed, we all hustled and we all had desire to win. It was unusual for everyone on a team to have that drive and hunger. And the more we won, the hungrier we got. We knew when to take the two and when to take it inside. We just knew the game.
Kita: Not to brag or gloat, but we had a swagger about us. There were times when we would get down big, but we always knew we'd win. There was a game in Decatur where me, Kip and Louis were late getting there and Tony started by himself. Back then, you could start with one person, and he got down 15-2 or 15-3 against a top team. We showed up, came back and won. We knew we had something special. We always knew we could win.
Kip: We played against a lot of big names — major college basketball players — and we didn't feel overmatched against anyone. We handled our own against the best.
I'd say one of the highlights was when we went to Peoria and it was one our last tournaments as a team. We played a team with (Peoria Manual stars) Howard Nathan and David Booth and we beat them up there.
But they weren't surprised — they knew us. Our names had traveled the circuit. They knew what they were up against.
End of an era
The end of the Slammers' era of domination finished around the same time as the Decatur Gus Macker's original run, in 1999. A serious car accident in 1995 hampered Kip's ability, though he went on to play and win in Decatur three more times — giving him seven titles in a row and eight overall in Decatur. By 1999, he, Louis and Holifield had moved out of the Decatur area and the team broke up.
Kip: It was the day before we were going to Michigan to win our third national championship. I was in an accident and I was thrown from the car. I injured my back, both legs, my arm and my head. The doctors told me I'd never play ball again. I cried.
But I knew what I had in me. I knew I would play again. When I got out of the hospital, I couldn't even walk — I had to learn to walk again. But I did, then I started working out with Kita and Rodney Walker. I came back and played, but I was never at the level I had been before the accident.
Kita: Eventually, we all went our separate ways. My brother moved to Colorado and Tony moved to Chicago. Me and Louis went on to play a few more — we won several tournaments with me, Louis, Richard Taylor and Tarise Bryson. We reunited and played again in 2005, but that was it.
In 1998, the Gus Macker celebrated its 25th year by starting a Hall of Fame. Kip and Kita Jones were among the inductees into its inaugural class. The brothers were presented with plaques and a cartoon caricature of the Joneses — and all of the Macker Hall of Famers — can be viewed at macker.com.
Kip: We really cherished that. For someone to think you played well enough to be indicted into any kind of hall of fame, and to think you entertained the people there watching … it was an honor.
Kita: It was a big surprise. They called us up there and they put that cartoon on the Internet. I got rolled about that quite a bit — people making fun of me about that. But I'm proud of it.
I guess me and Kip played a few more tournaments than Tony and Louis, and I won a few dunk contests. And the fact that we're brothers. But all of us should have been inducted — Louis and Tony should be in, too.
The Joneses went on to serve on the Macker board of directors. Kip still lives in Aurora, Colo., after moving there with his wife and owns a business. Kita lives in Decatur and is a prison guard at the Taylorville Correctional Center. The Slammers remain one of the most successful teams in the history of the Macker.
McNeal (1996): I've seen some better individuals play in our tournaments, but there hasn't been a better team. That's not out on a limb. Everybody knows they're the best.

Thanks for helping!
This had a bad rep in the past, now it's under new management and the food is great.
Good turnaround. the lo mein and general tso's very tasty, my two favorite.
Friendly service. Not very fancy inside, but has booths and good eats.
The food is very consistent. The management always conversis with me and my family. The food is serve quick. I love this place they boneless spareribs and any fried rice is a must try.
This establishment changed owners recently. The new chef is fantastic! Much better quality of food. The dining area is decorated nicely bathrooms clean and well kept. Great take out also. The new management changed this place overnight. So if you remember the old China Pearl the only thing that is the same is the name and location.
This place was about 3 miles from the resort. We called ahead and ordered for pick up. Everyone was satisfied with their orders. Prices are average. I would recommend eating here.
the most tasteless chinese food I've ever had... we order chicken fried rice and shrimp fried rice with no seasonings...
New owners have improved the food and keep the restaurant very clean and have hired a very friendly wait staff.
Went there last night with a friend of mine for dinner, the food was surprisingly good, we had chicken lo mien, general tso"s chicken, mo shu pork,and I love their lo mien, very tasty. Service was very friendly and the price is decent. Will definitely go there again next time I pass through.
I was told by a very close friend about the new management of this place and I decided to give it a try.
So, I went there for dinner with my wife. We ordered chicken wing as appetizer, pork fried rice and Mongolian beef as the main. Chicken wings are very tender and crispy, roasted pork rice are fried to...
Regular Chinese restaurant and nice surprise. We enjoyed our food that we ordered for take out. The actual restaurant was clean and the staff friendly and efficient. Portions are large and tasty.
Under new management, the China Pearl is doing a nice job. Good meals including pork with noodles and good veggie lo mein. They just need to add more veggies to the lo mein; but otherwise very good. And, as usual the order is ready, in, you guessed it: '10 minutes'!

(Click HERE for my current show PUNCH LINE at Miami Art Works, with a closing reception October 3rd.)
Work on View in Bisbee:
Magnetic Threads By Meggen Connolley
#2 Copper Queen Plaza, Bisbee AZ 85603
Bisbee, Arizona
(917) 660-4681
My experimental paintings use materials and process as a source of content as much as any pictorial or representational design. Works are composed with their unconscious interpretation in mind; for those who might randomly be socializing in the presence of the artwork at some future time and place.
For me the power of intuitive feeling and thought are synchronic occurrences of imagination for both myself and potential future viewers. Since the environment we share is the language we share, artwork expands the consciousness of where it is, and this is what my artwork sets out to accomplish with its "archetypal triggers" of visual texture and sticky content. One place you may view or purchase my artwork in person is in Bisbee Arizona at the award winning Magnetic Threads By Meggen Connolley(see on Facebook), in her fine shop of her fashion designs in the downtown Plaza building. My works are in collections around the world. My work represents a ground floor opportunity of an artist who has been researching and developing his experimental techniques and content since the early 1980′s, and always will be.
I have a number of different visual and written art projects in the works, including experimental encaustic works using thousands of crayons recycled from the restaurants of Yellowstone National Park, each crayon briefly held in the hands of a child's imagination while in Yellowstone. Future large scale 'encaustic fresco oil' murals are envisioned using these materials for 2017. I've been researching and testing these materials for some time now. If interested in commissioning such an installation for the 2017 season, or beyond, please do contact me. (See also my line technique in The Totemizer, on display at Bisbee Chiro, for which you must also contact me if interested in acquisition.) ——>
2016 will also be the 20th anniversary of my whip painting technique, which I refer to as action print-making. Never the purist, the mono print left by the oil on whip mark is manipulated with brushwork in a final alchemy, or then sometimes it is not.
2014 saw the 20th anniversary of my "text-texture-context" work, for which I've continued with encaustic collage, and 2011 marked the 30th anniversary of my work with plaster and paint, culminating in recent work combining encaustic fresco — both in new conceptual use of the term, and with some traditional uses of the concept. Overall, I find ways to combine and hybrid my various levels of process, for which there are ten overarching projects currently going on in my brain, that I have identified. My vision is confident, my experience is true, and there is so much wonderful artwork and poetry to do.
