"I own two Range Rovers, 2001 and 2002. I have a love hate relationship. I love the car and what it can do, but I hate it because the repair costs are astronomical especially when the EAS parts go. Brake pads and rotors wear quickly as do the tires. I also have a 2000 Discovery Series II. Not any better. If you like to go off road it's a great vehicle. Just be prepared to spend a good part of your paycheck keeping it up."

"I have to laugh reading some of these reviews. Love hate relationship for sure. I have had 2 Land Rovers, (Disco and RR) and both needed to have engine replaced. (Under warranty) The list of constant issues with these vehicles is mind boggling. (Too long to list) I literally have to cover my RR when it rains because it leaks ... this is a car which is positioned as a luxury vehicle for the outdoors? Put a 4.6 engine on any chassis, lock all 4 tires, and it will do well off road. But dont try to sell this car as having all of this off road performance because of its heritage/marketing. The vehicles that are being produced now have little resemblance to strengths this product grew out of. The popularity of this car is purely aesthetic, and that is why I own my second. Finding a utilitarian truck this size which has some style, but can get the job done, is difficult. But mechanically the trucks are a joke, cold hard facts."

"My 2001 4.6 HSE is the most solid and sturdy 4x4 SUV I have ever ridden in. Bought in 2007 with 50,000 miles on it. Runs solid but here is what I recommend very highly. Get extended warranty. Issues - air suspension went out at 85,000 miles. New air suspension would run $3K to $4K. Definitely convert to coil springs with 1-inch lift and Old Man Emu shocks. I find the ride way smoother with springs. Multi disk CD just broke. Have had to replace the following from 50,000 to 100,000miles - suspension, air accumulator, radiator, battery, pads, rotars, valve cover gasket. You get my point - super high maintence but none of these should ever need to be repalced again except pads, battery and rotars. Bottom line - most stylish, comfortable,dominant, classy off road vehicle ever but be prepared to spend $1,000 to $2,000 a year in this love affair."

It isn't really a mystery per say as we know a local business built this... but on the bottom of a local lake they built a stone formation when the lake's water level was low. A few years later (and once the water level dropped back) it had quite a few people wondering what it was. More info in the video description.

QUARTERBACKS USC hopes freshmen grow up fast
Published: Friday, October 2, 1992 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 2, 1992 at 12:00 a.m.
COLUMBIA - When senior Wright Mitchell quit the team, South Carolina football coach Sparky Woods was left with a pair of freshman quarterbacks, neither of whom have put up stellar numbers.
Blake Williamson, a redshirt freshman who will start Saturday at No. 9 Alabama, has completed only 35.5 percent of his passes, while backup Steve Taneyhill, a true freshman, is 0-for-6 with two interceptions. Woods says both young quarterbacks have big-time potential and contends that freshman performance isn't always an indicator of things to come. Woods spoke this week of watching Georgia Tech's win over Clemson last Saturday night and thinking that the difference in the game was the play of Tech quarterback Shawn Jones. "Then I remembered a few years back when Tech started a freshman quarterback against us named Shawn Jones," Woods said. "He didn't play very well. We confused him with our coverage and rattled him, and we beat them soundly. Well, that same guy later won a national championship and just got him a good win over Clemson. "I think that's kind of where we are. It's a good illustration of our situation. Blake and Steve are both going to be good quarterbacks. I'd like to start winning now, but all we can do is work on it day by day." âThe Gamecocks enter this week's game at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., with a streak of eight consecutive losses - a school record - and eight straight road defeats. âWoods' prediction for the Alabama game: "It"l be either a low-scoring game or they'll beat us real bad." The Gamecocks are the only team to hold East Carolina, the nation's third-ranked offensive team, to fewer than 500 yards of offense. The Pirates gained 398 against USC. âToby Cates, the wide receiver who moves to quarterback in USC's option-oriented "attack"offense, is still listed as questionable for Saturday with an ankle injury. âThe USC soccer team, having risen to No. 4 in the nation in the latest Soccer America poll, suffered its first loss of the season Wednesday, falling 1-0 to Wake Forest. The Gamecocks, ranked ninth by the ISAA, are now 4-1-3 for the year. USCFRO.SHH

This is a division of application Ser. No. 07/389,634, filed Aug. 4, 1989, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,021,048.
This invention relates to blood perfusion pumps. A coupler for connecting a kinetic pump to a perfusion control console is described.
Blood is a fragile material which must be handled carefully. Early efforts at pumping blood in support of surgical procedures involved the use of the peristaltic or roller pump. This type of pump is easy to manufacture from biocompatible materials. This type of pump is also easy to control with simple motor controllers. However, these and other positive displacement pumps are inadequate when used to support some surgical procedures. The principal drawbacks of such pumps are the generation of air emboli, the disruption of tubing connectors and the fracture of pump tubing.
In response to these defects in the prior art, a new type of pump was introduced. U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,324 to Rafferty, E. et al. describes this new type of rotary pump. This type of pump has no vanes or impellers and is now commonly called a kinetic pump. The kinetic pump provides a smooth surface rotator which moves blood from a central inlet to the periphery of a pump housing. Although the angular velocity of the blood within the pump is essentially constant, the linear velocity continues to increase as the radial distance from the inlet increases. To preserve the flow pattern through the pump, the rotators converge so that rotator passages remain constant in cross sectional area. The spacing between the rotator passages varies as an inverse function of the radial distance from the rotator axis. This geometry of the kinetic pump results in the principal benefits of such pumps which are the prevention of cavitation, and the prevention of over pressurization of the blood.
The earliest versions of these pumps were powered by internal motor structures as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,037,984 to Rafferty, E. et al. An alterative to the internal motor is taught by U.S. Pat. No. 3,864,055 to Kletschka, which shows a drive shaft protruding from the pump housing.
The problems presented by each of these prior art approaches were overcome by the adoption of the driver apparatus shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Briefly, the pump is a disposable item which is discarded after a single use. As such, the pump is supplied as a sterilized and sealed unit. The pump is driven by the magnetic coupling of rotating drive magnets located in the control console and driven magnets embedded in the pump rotator.
Although the kinetic pump in its various forms has been successful in a wide variety of clinical settings, sophisticated control apparatus is required to monitor and supervise its operation. Currently, the control apparatus is supplied in a console which houses the drive motor and the supervisory electronics. The modern console may further include RPM monitor and control apparatus, along with pressure and flow monitoring apparatus.
The pump is mounted directly on the console in view of the physician or remotely from the drive console at or near the patient. By locating the pump close to the patient the amount of tubing required to hook the kinetic pump into the patients vascular system is reduced. In either location, the pump is driven magnetically. Typically the pump is placed into a pump receiver located on either, the console or on a remote driver unit.
Each manufacturer has a specialized pump design which renders certain combinations of pumps and consoles incompatible. This strategy prevents the use of incompatible systems and therefore provides additional protection to the patients.
Couplers in accordance with the present invention, adapt the pump control console to a variety of otherwise incompatible pumps. To accomplish this objective, power transmission structures are incorporated into the coupler. These structures match the power transmission requirements of the pump with the consoles output. Depending upon the pump, the coupler may include gear trains or other speed transformation structures to adapt the rotational speed and direction of the console to the pump.
In the drawings, like reference numerals indicate corresponding structure throughout the several views in which,
FIG. 1 is a side view of a pump mounted on a console;
FIG. 2 is a front view of a pump;
FIG. 3 is a cross section view of a pump mounted on a console;
FIG. 4 is a cross section of an illustrative embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a front view of the console adaptor housing of FIG. 4 in the mounted position;
FIG. 6 is a front view of the console adaptor housing of FIG. 4 in the unmounted position;
FIG. 7 and 7A are a cross sections of a motor drive shaft assemblies for the illustrative embodiment of FIG. 4;

FIG. 13 is a cross section view of an illustrative embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 1, shows a prior art kinetic pump 10 attached to a prior art pump control console 12. The console has a receiver 14 which connects the console 12 with the pump 10. In operation, the tubing coupler 16 located on the pump 10 connects the pump to the patients arterial cannula to receive input blood flow. The output blood flows from the tubing coupler 18 shown on FIG. 2 to the patient cannula. The two figures taken together show the generally circular form of the pump 10.
FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of the receiver 14, the pump 10, and a portion of the console 12. The console wall 20 provides a mounting surface for the pump motor 22. The pump is attached through the use of a plurality of screws shown in the figure as 24 and 25. The receiver 14 is connected to this wall 20 through the use of screws shown in the figure at 26.
The receiver 14 has a detent fixture shown at 28, which engages the pump 10 to retain the pump in the receiver. The detent 28 includes a prong 30 coupled to a thumb slide 32. These elements engage with the pump 10 through the action of the spring 34. The detent structure cooperates with a slot or convolution at the periphery of the backing plate in the receiver 14 to retain the pump flange 38.
The pump 10 has a mounting flange 38 formed in the backing plate 40. The backing plate joins to the pump housing 42. Within the vessel formed by the backing plate and housing there is a rotator assembly shown as 44. The rotator is free to revolve around an axis defined by the shaft 49. This shaft 49 is rigidly attached to the backing plate 40. Sealed cartridge bearing 48 couple the rotator 44 to the shaft 49. Drive magnets 46 positioned within a chamber 11 formed by the backing plate 40 and the rotator 44. This form of construction provides a pump interior which is smooth and biocompatible, for safe handling of the blood.
The motor 22 provides motive power to the pump 10. The preferred form of coupling power represented by this prior art structure. As shown in the figure, driving magnets 50 located near the driven magnets 46 to transmit torque, to the rotator.
As shown in FIG. 3 the pump motor shaft 52 has a flat formed on it to receive a setscrew 54. The setscrew connects the drive-hub 56 to the driving magnets 50.
FIG. 4 shows a coupler constructed in accordance with the teaching of the present invention. The coupler provides for the remote placement of the pump near the patient. The pump however is controlled by the console. To achieve this objective a flexible shaft 58 is used to connect the console to the pump. This coupler has a pump adaptor designated 62 and has a console adaptor designated as 60. This coupler provides for 1:1 power transmission from the console mounted pump motor 22 to the rotator 44.
The console adaptor 60 provides a flange 64 to mate with the annular recess 36 located in the console receiver 14. The flange has recessed groove 66 which engages the prong 30 of the detent 28. A recess 68 provided in the console adapter permits access to the setscrew 70. A collar 72 engages the motor shaft 52 of the pump motor 22 to transmit power to the flexible shaft 58. A flexible sheath 70 surrounds the shaft 58. A bushing designated 74 provides connection between the flexible shaft 58 and the sheath 70 to the pump adaptor 60. Preferably the bushing is mounted in a longitudinal slot 78 formed in the console adaptor housing 76.
To use this coupler the operator first slides the collar 72 onto the motor shaft 52. Next, the annular flange 64 of the console adaptor housing is positioned into the recess 36. During this operation the detent 28 will engage the recessed groove 66. Next, the operator will tighten the setscrew 70 to secure the collar 72 to the shaft 52. Once this operation has been completed the operator may tighten the bushing retaining nut 80.
Alternate forms of mechanical connection between the motor and the collar may be employed without departing from the scope of this invention. In FIGS. 7 and 7a two examples of alternate structure are shown. In FIG. 7 a broached collar mates with motor shaft without the use of a set screw. Similarly a broached spline collar 73 is used with a splined motor shaft 51.
The kinetic pump shown in phantom view in FIG. 4 mounts to the pump receptacle 82 through the use of a helical fitting. This is shown by helical threads 84 formed in the receptacle. It should be appreciated that other forms of mounting are contemplated within the scope of this invention. For example, FIG. 8 shows a bayonet type of pump fitting which will be discussed in connection with that drawing. The pump receptacle housing 82 contains a thin nonferrous cover 86 mounted within an annular recess 88 to separate the remote drive plate 90 from the pump backing plate.
FIG. 8 shows a coupler 93, having a console adaptor 92 and a pump receptacle 94. In this embodiment of the invention the magnetic driver 55 remains unchanged. However, an intermediate power transfer assembly 96 connects the drive motor 22 to the kinetic pump. A magnetic driver 55 placed close to a complimentary drive receiver 98. The drive receiver 98 mounted on a shaft 100 which rides in a bushing 102. A cooperating magnetic driver 104 mounted on the shaft 100 to transmit power to a kinetic pump located in the pump receptacle 94. The housing 91 includes a flange 106 to mate with the annular recess 36 located in the console receiver 14. The flange has recessed groove 66 which engages the prong of the detent 28. This is a highly desirable form of coupling because it requires no modification of the console itself. Additionally the coupler may be inserted into the console as though it were a pump, which is a familiar operating room procedure. The pump receptacle portion of the coupler receives the cylindrical base of a kinetic pump. This base member is retained through the use of a bayonet fitting which includes a slot 108 which is fabricated in the housing 91.
Magnet to magnet adaption is required when the console and pump have differing pole pieces which prevent the reliable transfer of power.
One drawback with the system shown in FIG. 8 is introduction of an additional bearing surface in the power transmission system. It is undesirable to add components where they do not offer an improved operational result.
FIG. 9 shows an alternate form of magnet to magnet adaptor. In contrast to the system of FIG. 8 there is no bearing support shaft. The magnet assembly 110 located in the housing 112 floats on a hydrodynamic bearing surfaces 118 and 116. These bearing surfaces maintain the position of the magnet assembly 110 in the cavity. A fluid fitting 114 is provided to fill the cavity with a lubricating fluid to operate the hydrodynamic bearings. It is contemplated that the magnet assembly will be formed from first 116 and second 118 pole pieces. If the number of magnetic domains differs between the pole pieces, a magnetic permeable barrier 120 should be placed between them. The purpose of the barrier is to shunt the magnetic fields so that the two pole pieces do not interfere with each other. Good torque transfer between a driving magnet and a driven magnet requires matching pole pieces. In this embodiment the console motor 22 connects with a magnetic driver 55. The driver is placed in close proximity to the first pole piece. This arrangement results in good torque transfer from the console to the coupler. The number of magnetic domains on the second pole piece is selected to match the number used in the compatible pump.
In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 the end-play of the pole pieces is controlled by thrust buttons 124 and 126. Thrust button 124 cooperates with cover 86 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 9 shows an embodiment were the thrust button 128 abuts with a first coupler cover 130. Similarly, the thrust button 130 abut with a second coupler cover 131. The coupler covers and the housing 132 define the magnet chamber 134.
FIG. 10 shows a coupler 138 which includes a console adaptor 140 comprising an annular flange 142 for engaging the console recess 36. The flange 142 has a circumferential groove 144 to accept the console mounted detent 28. The pump receptacle 146 has a conical surface 150 to align the kinetic pump with the drive magnets 50. The pump may be held or secured through the use of a pin lock structure comprising a pump mounted pin and a lock groove 152 which has a generally horizontal retention surface, or by a spring loaded clamping device 147 which captures its flangs.
FIG. 12 shows a coupler 154 which has structure to reverse direction of rotation. The coupler includes driven magnets 156 in an eccentric position to reverse the direction of rotation of the output shaft. The driven magnets are located in close proximity to the driving magnets 50. The driving magnets 50 are connected to the console motor 22 as described in connection with earlier figures. Axial end play of the driven magnets 156 is controlled with a thrust button 158 located on the driven magnets. The axis of rotation of the driven magnets is displaced from the axis of rotation of the console motor. This displacement causes the direction of rotation to be reversed. It should be appreciated that the output shaft 158 may be used to drive a flexible shaft as shown in FIG. 4 or may alternatively be used to drive a shaft driven pump as shown in FIG. 11.
FIG. 11 shows an adapter 148 which spaces a shaft driven pump 150 from the console. The coupler 148 has a flange 152 which may be rotated into engagement with the recess 36. The pump shaft 71 may be inserted onto the console motor shaft 52 and the pump maybe rotated into the receiver to secure it to the console.
FIG. 13 shows a coupler which includes a gear train power transfer mechanism. This gear train may be used to either increase or decrease the speed of rotation. This form of coupler is useful to match the console speed range with the requirements of the pump. The conventional pump control console offers variable speed motor control over a wide range. However, some types of kinetic pumps operate at nominal speeds which do not overlap with the motor speeds available from the console. It should also be understood that gear trains of the type disclosed may be used to reverse the direction of rotation as taught by FIG. 12. The use of gears for the power transfer mechanism is preferred if the pump has significant torque requirements. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13 a first gear 160 is mounted on the motor shaft 52. This gear transfers power to a second gear 162 located on an intermediary shaft 163. The shaft is journaled in a bushing 164. The bushing is attached to the housing 166. A secondary gear train which includes a third 168 and fourth 170 gear couple power to the magnet pole piece 172. The driving pole piece 172 is concentric with the pump receptacle. The gear ratios selected would depend on the requirements of the kinetic pump being driven. The selection of kinetic pumps is not restricted to the type shown since other pumps having vanes in the combination with smooth converging rotators may be used with out departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

04 Sep 2007, Victoria Pennington, Operational Risk & Regulation
A new survey conducted by Bankersalmanac.com of its client base has found that the cost of meeting new anti-money laundering regulations is high, and rising, for financial services firms.
The cost of conducting know-your-customer (KYC) checks on new counterparties and dealing with remediation is a big factor for banks. A quarter of survey respondents said that it takes them a month or more to collect KYC data from other banks. A third of respondents stated that the cost of conducting checks on an individual counterparty is over $100.
Besides banks, brokers and dealers were identified as the hardest institutions to obtain KYC data and documentation from, followed by asset managers and securities companies. The Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific were identified as the most problematic territories to obtain essential KYC information.
Kerry Hewson, director at Bankersalmanac.com, says: "Our survey findings highlight that the cost and time spent conducting KYC checks on counterparties continues to be an overhead for banks."

Dig, fight, explore, build! Nothing is impossible in this action-packed adventure game. The world is your canvas and the ground itself is your paint. Grab your tools and go! You can do many things in Terraria: make weapons and fight off a variety of enemies in numerous biomes, dig deep underground to find accessories, money, and other useful things, gather wood, stone, ores, and other resources to create everything you need to make the world your own and defend it. Build a house, a fort, even a castle, and people will move in to live there and perhaps even sell you different wares to assist you on your journey. But beware, there are even more challenges awaiting you... Are you up to the task?
This game is the best game in the world! Full of adventure, creation, monsters and weapons, I highly recommend it and hope it wins!

Best game of the year!
super fun mario style action game with block type build mechanics... this game is often mistaken to be minecraft rip-off by those who haven't played it. the only minus this game has compared to mc (for 'builders') is the lack of a dimension, for everyone else there are no minuses in fact the opposite is true - crafting is infinitely more enjoyable, gameplay is faster, more exciting and immersing, and crazy-chaotic at times (when you fall in a dark cavern and are blindly swinging your sword around trying to kill whatever's hitting you :P :D ).
...just watch this (footage is of the earliest patches) v=yANJlQjkxXI (youtube vid)
...this vid demonstrates latest features v=Azq5IOrFtEI (youtube vid)
lots of fun but port it to linux or i will be forced to eat a hat

"Good experience "
We highly recommend this dealer, and especially Damien Zegers! He goes out of his way to make sure you are taken care of, and completely satisfied with everything before you leave. It adds to the total Audi experience! I would go out of my way to work with this dealership! Very impressed!More

"Great "
My car was smoking and come to find out it needed Pistons and Rings Stephanie Trejo set everything up I got the keys to a new Q5 amd I just picked up my car everything seems great.More
Employees dealt with
I brought my Q5 in for a scheduled maintenance. I had an appointment and there were several cars in front of mine. I was planning on waiting for my car, even if it took a couple of hours. Since I was waiting they moved mine to the front and it was done in an hour. I appreciated them doing that for me.More

"Out of Town visitor with Dead Battery"
I was in Ventura visiting my family. I truly see my battery dying as divine intervention. First, the tow truck came in a timely manner and the 2 guys were extremely nice and professional. Next, when my car was up, my service specialist (I believe his name was Bob or Bill) came to me and showed me how dangerous my 2 front tires were to drive on. The genuine concern for my safety was apparent. I was extremely pressed for money as I live and work in the desert and our "season" is just about to start. My service specialist worked with me and I made it home safe and sound. Thank you for helping someone even though you knew I was a visitor. With Gratitude, SharonMore

"Amazing buying experience and great service"
Between me and my two daughters we have purchased three Audi's from DCH Audi of Oxnard. They are amazing an patient. I do mean patient. Have you ever taken a 16 year old girl to buy a car? Who doesn't know what they want? And wants to look at everything, more than once? Oh my what an adventure. Howard was amazing he took the time to explain every car and answer all of her questions. Thank you Howard, Steve, Damien and Bill for such amazing customer service.More

"Only because the options are limited"
To start, the email they send you asking if you would recommend us doesn't actually let you select no. Not a good start. Secondly after bringing in the car for service within the same day let us know they didn't have the parts and it wouldn't be ready for 5 days. No loaner was offered or given so I ended up with no car for the entirety of that time, and as someone who is hardly home and goes places often, that was a terrible experience. I just can't understand how a company could knowing leave someone without a car for that time and the customer service not do anything about it.More

"DCH 36K mile A6 service"
I drove in to setup an appointment for a 35K service on my A6, Bill Profeta met at my car before I had opened the door. We arranged a time for the next day and I drove off. Next day I pulled in Bill prepared paper work and tossed me the keys to a brand new A6. Service was done on time Bill explained the fine points of observations made by the technicians. My car was washed and waiting for me. I don't think you can ask much more from a service department. Great service, great people. Sam Grasso.More

"Best Buying Experience Ever..."
I have purchased many new automobiles from many auto makers. I have purchased 5 from this dealership. They have given me the best buying experiences of my life. They address every issue. Robert is a fantastic representative of Audi. Robert and Kenny give Audi there great name along with excellent driving experiences every day that I get to travel in an Audi. My 2015 A6SS is by far the most amazing vehicle I have ever owned.More

Sales (Used)
I went to DCH Audi to see what they had in used car inventory. I was originally looking for a Ford Edge, but seeing as they didn't have one that they could get in my price range I asked the salesman what they did have in my price range. He looked through his system and couldn't come up with anything when the manager hollered out to show us a 2005 Volkswagen Touareg that was on the lot. The salesman jumped up very eager to show us this car. Car looked nice outside and in, minor spots of use but nothing unexpected. The salesman and manager did their "number crunching" and pretty much did whatever they had to do to get us in this car. I thought it was great at first seeing as they dropped the price a bit and everything to get it in our loan range. Little did I know this car was no good. We got the car, loved it for about the first three months, ran fine and is a very strong and sturdy car just like we wanted. Went out to the car one morning and it wouldn't start. We thought we maybe just left a light or something on so we jump started the car and went on about our business. Car wouldn't start again when we left where we had gone. Long story short, I replaced the battery but continued to have the same problem a few days later. I called the dealership and asked what was going on and all they told me was "you didn't get the extended warranty so we can't help you." I argued with the service manager for a short bit and he agreed to look at the car but said he would give me two free hours of "diagnosis". I took the car and they Completely wasted two hours of my time doing something that should have only taken about thirty minutes then he wanted to charge me $125/hour to diagnose a car that they sold me not working. I told him no and went elsewhere and the car has been through three batteries and over $1000.00 worth of service and still does not start. THEY SOLD ME A LEMON! and did not want to do anything to help me. Now that I look back at it, they weren't ever helping me with price to begin with, they were just eager to get this car off of their lot and I was the perfect candidate due to having very limited loan parameters. I am now stuck with this car upside down on my loan and it has been nothing but money lost and headaches. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone Ever!More

Are You Getting Doug?
Many of you might know who Doug Benson is, if you watch a lot of stand-up comedy or saw his documentary Super High Me, but you may not know about a hilarious video series/podcast he recently started called Getting Doug with High. Yes… that's the correct title.

What happens when narcs are tracking down other narcs and nobody knows that they are all narcs? Did that make any sense? This Guy's A Narc shows what happens when undercover FBI, DEA and Police agents end up tracking down each other.

You just have to stop. You have to force yourself to not do it. You have to do anything but that.
I used to check my pulse all the time. Eventually though, I did figure out how to stop doing it. And my advice is completely useless. Never the less, it did work, so..You just have to stop. You have to force yourself to not do it. You have to do anything but that. Its hard. Its scary. And everything about you is screaming to do so. But you can't do it. Once you check, your sympathetic nervous system floods you with adrenaline. Because it doesnt take chances, and if you werent in danger, why would you be checking? So every time you do it, you actually make it worse.But the other side is that, every time you resist doing it, it gets easier to resist next time, and the time after that, and so on.Its not easy, it took me a long time to do. But its what must happen

Date of Stay: April, 2016
Desert park is neat and clean, staff very helpful, sites are more than ample for big rig, nice dog run and overall a nice park for a night. Overpriced and not in the best location.
Date of Stay: September, 2015
RV park high in the pines of Northern Arizona. Clean, lots O.K. size, some larger than others, close to hiking, sites, local business. No internet available while we were there. It is close to highway, a nice quiet park, lots of locals, but overall a well kept park in the high country.
Date of Stay: September, 2015
For the area this is a nice older KOA. Spaces are ample for big rigs. Dog run has grass and is well done. There are some perm units but everything is neat and well cared for. Considering location this is a pleasant place for a few day stop over.
Date of Stay: September, 2015
Park is a small older RV park combined with a rundown trailer park and a U-Haul truck rental business. No street signs and little direction from office. Big rigs can end up in a dead end street with no way out. As reviewed before the speed bumps are excessive. This park should not be park of the Good Sam System and the rate is excessive.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
New Managers continue to improve this lovely little park in the mountains. Neat, clean, ample space and length for big rigs. No fancy add-ons, just comfort, a nice clean place to enjoy the mountains. Wi-Fi works well, laundry nice and clean and friendly manager.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
Worse KOA we have ever stayed in. A dirt lot next to the Freeway for $41 nightly. Short lots for big rigs.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
This was our fifth visit in the last 5 years to this campground and it keeps getting better. The campground is clean and well cared. Spaces are more than ample for big rigs, easy in and out, owners are very caring hosts. The river view and ducks add to the charm. Several good places to dine out close.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
Great state park and was big rig friendly. Clean and well maintained. Friendly park staff. The site we had was a back-in, but lots of space with a view of the mountains. Dog friendly with lots of trails. Very close to Walmart and dinning. Check out on line first because this park gets booked up. Would love to return.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Lovely park, well kept, personnel were friendly and well informed. Spaces are just too short for big rigs and fifth wheels with the large trucks. The park was just not designed for the larger units. Perfect for smaller units.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
Typical for KOA. Small narrow lots with units stacked on top of each other. Nothing special.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
What a great campground. I agree with the other positive comments. Clean, well cared for, helpful staff, extra large sites, acres for the dogs to walk, stream with fish running through campground. Lovely country setting 4+ miles from the freeway and the short gravel road isn't worth down grading.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
This KOA is the best campground in the area. Clean, clean and well kept with lots of space for big rigs. View of the mountains is wonderful. Owners have planted lots of trees while planning for making in and out easy for even the big rigs. The staff is exceptional and space out campers for best camping experience. Will return.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Great Colorado mountain campground in the forest. Campground has beautiful views, next to a mountain lake, 3 miles from Leadville. Fishing, hunting, ghost towns and the full mountain experience is available. Leadville has good restaurants, a Safeway and several business offering service needed for the area. Owners are great to work with. Satellite and phones work well in the campground. Campground was close to full, recommend calling ahead. Limited 50 amp, but we never used air conditions for the month of August. East in and out for big rig. Would love to return.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Great campground for families, located right on the Yellowstone River and within 45 miles of Yellowstone. Lots of trees with shade and a nice breeze. It is 10 miles from services, located in wooded farming area,with no freeway noise. Several large sites for big rigs with patio, grass and ample room between sites. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Park has long wide sites, good for larger rigs and tow, easy in and out. Clean laundry area with several units. A bonus in the heat with large shade trees that are well trimmed to protect larger units. Is within walking distance to good dining. Pleasant management. Park in close to freeway noise. Will differently stay again.

Bio and Links
I am an 8th generation Durr from South Carolina. My family roots grow very deep into the soil of Orangeburg, Dorchester, Colleton, Berkeley and Barnwell counties.
I've researched and traveled across the Lowcountry part of the state to where my ancestors settled, to dig into musty courthouse bins, rooted through libraries, and traipse cemeteries.
Even after many years of research, I am awed when I look at the old family tombstones, bible, land plats, Last Will and Testaments and keepsake pictures with so many lineages and thinking of the forklore of many generations past touches my heart.
Some of the families I research are; Durr, Ruple, Bell, Keitt,Salisbury, Murray, Weathers, Whetsell, Miller, Ayers, Way, Beach, Bozard, Strock, Dukes and Johnson.

Source for Charlotte W Turner's date of death
Greetings, Herman, and thanks for what you do to support genealogical research.
Today, I submitted a change for Charlotte W. Turner's memorial. I found her date of death in a publication entitled DEATH NOTICES LISTED IN THE FAIRFIELD HERALD AND
THE NEWS AND HERALD, which I found on the Fairfield County Genealogy Society web site. Charlotte's death notice was published April 23, 1884...very simply:
Mrs. Charlotte W. Vann died on March 29, near Blythewood.

Thomas Fletcher Walker #61990032
From bio on your profile, you are probably not related to these Walkers in Fairfield, but if so I certainly would like a bit of information on them. Thomas apparently married the younger sister Mary Emma Rhine first and then Cynthia A about 1890 even though it says on the 1900 census they were married 1871, Cynthia was single and home in 1880.
The info on the marriage and children is probably correct for Thomas Fletcher Walker, but not for Cynthia.
Thanks for making so many memorials and photos of stones for my extended family in Fairfield County.

tombstone of "John J"
I once relied on this late placed marker for info ...
As you know, " John J." did not come from Germany.
What you may not know and I didn't discover til a couple of years ago when I did the article for OGSGS on gravemarkers is that "John J." is also wrong ... This immigrant son was born Johannes Roppel with no middle name as many GermanSwiss children had ....It was not uncommon to see both a Johannes (John) and a Johann (Jacob, Henry, etc). OUr immigrant in Orangeburg was simply Johannes per the church record.

Thanks for your patience as I matched families at Crooked Run, Trapp family cemetery, and Chappell O. Trapp cemetery. This journey started last Sunday at a Lewis reunion in Greenbrier. One of the young men has the first name of Trapp. His father suggested I look at Crooked Run Cemetery. I began to see some connections and had to search for others.
I am still looking for the link with this young man's name though it starts with the Trapp/Brook connection Time to ask for more info from his family.
The Trapps found here are a branch off of my tree.
Thanks again

Hi: Was at Shiloh today looking for her husband for a photo request. I beleive he may be in the plot next to hers which is unmarked. Note of interest however, on the stone the husband's name is spelled WHILIAM Collier. It may have been a stone mason error, but maybe not as why would someone go out of their way to etch a common name with an unusual spelling? Just a for what it's worth note. Pat

I love it when young girls feel the urge to fuck. It's just a normal.thing. It's the same feeling that makes me visit prostitutes. Being horny is such a strong feeling. It's better to give in than to fight it. After all, everybody needs sex.
