A Look At Some Toys We Were Told Were Dangerous But Which We Loved Anyway

From that taunting warning in
A Christmas Story
that "You'll poke your eye out!" to the rumor that mixing Pop Rocks and soda would make your stomach explode, some of the most fun that could be had during childhood was testing boundaries and defying the so-called dangers of certain toys and games. While nothing was as hazardous as Mainway Toys' Mr. Skingrafter or "Bag O'Glass," parents still often expressed worry, and when they did it only made us want the items more. We risked riding around on sleds with metal runners; we played with paddle balls and yo-yos even after getting bonked on the forehead repeatedly; and we proudly displayed Lite Brite in our bedrooms even with the potential fire hazard… so just what was it about these toys that made them so darn irresistible???
For those who grew up yearning to be on Nickelodeon's You Can't Do That On Television or
Double Dare
, there were a few products that allowed you to join in on the fun from the safety of your living room… until your parents caught wind of what you were doing anyway. Nickelodeon's slime was messy but virtually harmless, but the invention of Gax and Floam that followed were a bit more controversial. Gak gained its popularity due to the farting sounds it would make when compressed into its container, and Floam was its lighter, mushier counterpart. The chemical compound surely created the sound but also emanated a plastic odor that lingered on your hands well after you had packed the Play-Doh rip-off safely away. Soap and water helped, but what kid actually washed their hands after playing like they're told to? Later still came Gak-In-The-Dark, which not only maintained the same odor but also glowed in the dark, made of more complex chemicals that were certainly harmful upon contact, absorbing into the skin the way we used to be warned ink would do if we drew on our hands and arms, and yet kids happily pressed Gak to walls, countertops, and each other with reckless abandon, eager to own a piece of their favorite game show.
Slap bracelets are considered collector's items now because in the mid-nineties the news media released reports that flexible piece of stainless steel that allowed for the bend and snap motion of the bracelet could pierce the thin layer of decorative cloth and cut children's arms. The ruler-sized rectangles came in bright colors, loud patterns (like animal print), and both shiny and fuzzy fabrics, allowing for maximum expression of personality for minimum cost, so regardless of any risk, girls lined them up on their forearms like tribal bands. Everyone had at least one, and if you wanted to be cool, you had many and probably couldn't resist slapping them against your arm repeatedly in class, just to cause a minor disruption.
The Easy Bake Oven, a classic for raising little 1950s housewives, offered the opportunity to bake small muffins or tarts one at a time, powered by a light bulb. Little girls, and the occasional evolved boy, could pop something in before leaving for school and hopefully come home to a lukewarm treat. Aside from the obvious danger from frustration at the time it took to cook something, the Easy Bake Oven was notorious for sparking and for the oven door slamming shut on little fingers. Later models introduced decades after the original showcased stovetop burners (just like our mothers' real ones!), which could also cause burns if a child leaned on it. Despite the potential trip to the doctor's office, the lure of being able to eat cookies or cupcakes anytime because you made it yourself was too great, and Santa has worked over-time year after year to lug those big square boxes down the chimneys.
Chemtoy's Lemon Twist in the late sixties, and the late eighties copycat of Skip-It attached at the ankle via a thin plastic hoop, which often scratched and/or got stuck. Created as a way to make exercising more fun (and colorful!), the child had to swing their leg with the attached toy a little bit harder to get it to swing around, causing a spastic skipping motion. Lemon Twist was light, and only the uncoordinated kids had trouble avoiding it as it came at their other leg, tripping over the small plastic yellow lemon end. Skip-It, however, had an electronic mechanism attached that supposedly counted the number of times it swung around and was successfully hopped over, which weighed down the ankle and practically pulverized the other one when it inevitably crashed into it as the child grew tired. On the playground, Skip-It also took out many an unsuspecting tag player as he or she ran by, oblivious to what was circling on the ground below them… which actually became a more fun game than the Skip-It by itself and as intended.
Though the Parker Brothers and Hasbro's Bop It wasn't inherently a dangerous item when it first debuted in toy stores across the country as a stick-like plastic device with three electronic elements, the act of putting it to use could be very violent depending on who your opponent was. In its original form, Bop It was used individually but could easily be turned on a friend or schoolyard acquaintance if he or she got a higher score when passed the toy. Bop It Extreme, however, had two handles for two players, creating a face-to-face rivalry as the toy spit out instructions, and struggling ensued not to miss your cues while your opponent attempted to wrestle the thing out of your hands. Many a kid heard the robotic "Bop It" instruction and had to restrain themselves from actually using the device to "bop" their opponent on the head.
Give us your list of favorite dangerous toys.

Richard Kelly's The Box, which is now slated to release on October 30, 2009, has a new poster and a MySpace update from the director. The new poster, which has a wide blood red swath bisceting Cameron Diaz's face, highlights the blood price around which the film is based.
Adapted from the short story "Button, Button" by Richard Matheson of I Am Legend fame, it's the tale of a young couple who receive a mysterious box that promises to bestow $1 million, at the mere cost of some random stranger's life. The story received an earlier, somewhat campy adaption, in the New Twilight Zone.
On his MySpace page, director Richard Kelly says, among other things, that the movie is completely finished, takes place in Virginia in 1976, and will include a whole lot of visual effects that required eight-months of post production. "It will be," he promises, "his most personal film ever."

Rachel McAdams
Rachel McAdams is a Canadian actress that is currently single. Rachel McAdams attended the Toronto Film Festival for the premiere of Rachel's latest movie The Lucky Ones. Rachel's latest project is Sherlock Homes, pictures available.
They spent plenty of time together on the set of "Southpaw," and now it seems Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams may have struck up an old-fashioned costar romance.
The "Sherlock Holmes" starlet joined the "Brokeback Mountain" man at the Miguel Cotto vs. Sergio Martinez boxing match at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night (June 7).
Celebrating the fashion industry earlier tonight (May 5) Rachel McAdams strolled up to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the 2014 Met Gala.
Clad in a gorgeous getup, the "Mean Girls" star was hard to miss with her beautiful smile and picture perfect poses as she mingled with fellow attendees.
Over the past decade, "Mean Girls" has earned more than $121 million and on the 10th anniversary of the film's April 30th, 2004 theatrical release, we're serving up ten unforgettable quotes from Cady ( Lindsay Lohan), Regina ( Rachel McAdams), Gretchen ( Lacy Chabert) and Karen ( Amanda Seyfried).
Writer Tina Fey explained her process in penning the script- "I revisited high school behaviors of my own—futile, poisonous, bitter behaviors that served no purpose. That thing of someone saying, 'You're really pretty,' and then, when the other person thanks them, saying, 'Oh, so you agree? You think you're pretty?' That happened in my school. That was a bear trap."
Showcasing his last rendezvous on the big screen, Lionsgate released the first theatrical trailer for "A Most Wanted Man" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman's on Friday (April 11).
The flick made its mark on Sundance in January and now it's slated to hit theaters July 25.
After talking over her role with producers, Rachel McAdams reportedly dropped out of Keanu Reeves' new film "Passengers."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, "The Notebook" actress' choice to leave the independent film resulted in a complete delay of production - indefinitely.
Not just blowing smoke on Thursday's (March 6) episode of "The Tonight Show," Lindsay Lohan was actually serious about a "Mean Girls" reunion, which has reportedly been in the works for several weeks now!
2014 marks the 10-year anniversary of the hit movie's release, and Tina Fey is in charge of the reunion, hoping to bring back the entire cast for the event.
Reconnecting with family during some midweek downtime, Rachel McAdams took her dog for a walk with her sister in Los Angeles on Tuesday (January 21).
The "Notebook" star wore a gray jacket, matching scarf, and black skinnies as she strolled along with her sis and her petite pooch.
Taking care of some promotional duties, Rachel McAdams showed up at a snazzy dinner for her new flick "A Most Wanted Man" at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on Sunday (January 19).
The "About Time" actress hammed it up with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Willem Dafoe at The Snow Lodge in Park City, Utah following Friday's big premiere.
Sifting through the hustle and bustle of Christmas travel, Rachel McAdams made her way slowly but surely through LAX Airport today (December 20).
"The Vow" beauty was stylish in shades, catching the eyes of passersby, and sporting a black dress coat and yellow shirt, completing her look with a pair of sexy skinnies and black boots.
Following her weekend birthday celebration, Rachel McAdams was back to work in Oahu, Hawaii on Monday morning (November 18).
The "Red Eye" actress, who is rumored to be dating Ryan Gosling, filmed a funeral scene for the forthcoming Untitled Cameron Crowe project along with Jay Baruchel.

O.k I'll reset the computer and try again to post a pic?

maybe It can't be done?
O.k I'll reset the computer and try again to post a pic?
Still to big everytime I down load a file It's too big
any body got any Ideas how to down size em In windows 98se
maybe It can't be done?
You need to reduce the files size with some type of photo editing software.
I don't know when that'll happen I don't plan on getting another computer for afew years anyway..too bad you guys couldn't accept them In any size then you could down size em?just a thought
Joe Is there any way of me getting around those large files
for example what If a person was to email a pic to your email address
can it be transferred that way..or Is the thing to complicated?
What is anysize? How large is your photo?
There are dozens of free applications that will allow you to size your photo, or save them for web use.
My photo Is about four times too large according to the attachment reminder
I just wanted to post a pic of a real bicycle
Your attachment can be up to 100k in size. That is more then big enough for most images. Most attachments are in the 30k size. Yours is 400k?! Look at the forum logo, that is 5k in size... you really need to shrink that image
I sent you a emal threw yahoo..I enclosed the pic
You can use Paint Shop pro to edit it.. another free app is infranview http://www.irfanview.com it has a option to shrink your picture down to a specified size.
Joe has to limit the size of pic's can you imagine if he did not? Let's say it was 400k, so 5 pics posted a day not to heavy a load so that is 2 megs a day.. 14 megs a week.. 60 megs a month 700 megs a year and this forum has been around for quite a few years. And joe has to pay for the bandwidth (bigger pictures more bandwidth), more storage so higher cost and I believe I'm correct in saying Vbulletin (software that runs forums) stores pictures actualy in the database itself so that means alot larger database to deal with. So ALOT of drawbacks, and only saves us users a couple seconds to shrink down the pic or host it somewhere else. And keeps annoyance down for other uers, alot of people are still on dial up, do you know how long it takes to show a 400k pic on dialup?
Your max pic size Is 102400 so I blew your max by only 29952 that ain't too bad I figure I got It down a lot?My pic size Is 132352
Try to get it under 50k.
Kev, I know have the option to store attachments in a directory, not the database. I have not yet made the change, but plan on doing so soon.
The only way I could cut the pic down any more would be to stand back a bit more when i take the pic..but I can't cut down on the download any more with this computer?I sure didn't blow It by much did I?
according to what I idicated?

Maybe JOE is going to allow a bigger max..I think he indicated such.I got a feeling It's because I haven't donated yet..If that Is the problem then I want to hear It from Joe?
Nope, I have no plans on increasing the attachment size. 100K for images is more then enough space. Donating member or not.
If Sherpa can fix them up then Joe could of also?I think the problem Is a donation
Isn't It?Cause Sherpa didn't cut into the bicycle itself when he sent It.I'm not that stupid I can clearly see the problem Is one of a donation right Joe?
because thats how big the pic was when i scaled it down the most i could do?
That is closer to 129K in size. Still 30% larger then acceptable.

Trafficking in Persons Report 2010 - Austria

AUSTRIA (Tier 1)
Austria is a destination and transit country for women, men, and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced prostitution and forced labor. Victims originate from Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia. Austrians reportedly spent $4.3 billion on domestic workers in 2009; exploitation is believed to be a significant problem in this sector. Some forced domestic servitude involves diplomats, primarily from the Middle East, who enjoy diplomatic immunity. Forced labor occurs in the agricultural, construction, restaurant, and tourism industries. Forced begging involving Roma children and others from Eastern Europe continued to be a problem. An NGO that works primarily with Nigerian trafficking victims reported traffickers abuse the legal prostitution and asylum processes to control their victims and keep them in Austria legally.
The Government of Austria fully complies with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. The government identified and referred an increased number of trafficking victims for assistance, and police demonstrated an increasingly victim-centered approach to law enforcement efforts. In an attempt to prevent involuntary domestic servitude, the government amended its regulations in 2009 to require all foreign domestic workers to appear in person at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive information on how to get help if they become victims of forced labor. It hosted a UN event to notify foreign embassies in Austria about this new requirement. The Austrian government, however, did not adequately punish convicted trafficking offenders, and it did not employ systematic procedures for the identification and referral of victims. Also, some child victims of trafficking were penalized for unlawful acts committed as a direct result of being trafficked.
Recommendations for Austria: Aggressively prosecute traffickers to ensure a majority of trafficking offenders serve some time in prison; establish a systematic identification and referral process throughout Austria, including in immigrant reception centers; establish specialized care for children who are victims of trafficking; establish services for men who are victims of forced labor; take measures to improve public awareness of trafficking in Austria and reduce demand; consider amending 104(a) to increase penalties for trafficking cases, including cases involving children; and provide specialized training for law enforcement and social workers involved in the rehabilitation of victims.
The Austrian government demonstrated moderate efforts to prosecute and convict traffickers during the reporting period. However, over half of convicted traffickers spent 12 months or less in jail; one-third of convicted traffickers received no jail time. Article 104(a) of the Austrian Criminal Code prohibits trafficking for both sexual exploitation and forced labor. Prosecutors typically use Articles 104(a) and 217 of the Criminal Code, which prohibit cross border trafficking for the purpose of prostitution, as well as Article 114 of the Aliens Police Act, which contains provisions on alien smuggling, to prosecute traffickers. Penalties prescribed in Article 104(a) and Article 114 range up to 10 years' imprisonment, while penalties prescribed in Article 217 range from six months' to 10 years' imprisonment. These penalties are sufficiently stringent and commensurate with those prescribed for other serious crimes, such as rape. The government reportedly prosecuted and convicted 67 trafficking offenders in 2008; however, it only reported sentences for offenders in which trafficking was the leading charge. In 2008, the government convicted 18 trafficking offenders, a decrease from 30 such convictions in 2007. Sentences for three of these offenders were between one and three years. The government completely suspended the sentences of four offenders and partially suspended nine, resulting in sentences between one and 12 months in jail. Two other convicted traffickers paid fines. Local observers report a lack of anti-trafficking expertise among prosecutors and judges. According to one NGO, during a case in 2009, a victim testified five separate times, but the suspect was subsequently released. The Austrian government did not disaggregate its data to demonstrate it prosecuted or convicted labor trafficking offenders.
The Government of Austria sustained its efforts to protect identified victims of trafficking during the reporting period. The government did not yet, however, employ formal and systematic procedures for the identification and referral of victims within labor or legal and illegal prostitution sectors. Police in Vienna proactively referred trafficking victims for care and collaborated with NGOs to improve their ability to spot indicators of sex trafficking, but referral was ad hoc and reliant on certain victim-sensitive officers. NGOs reported police effectively partnered with them on cases to ensure trafficking victims adequate recovery time to become more effective witnesses. It continued to fund the country's only specialized anti-trafficking NGO, which provided open shelter and assistance to female victims in Vienna. This shelter was at its full capacity of 18 beds throughout 2009. The Austrian government provided $828,000 to this NGO in 2009, compared with $542,700 in 2008. It provided counseling and other services to 182 trafficking victims in 2009; police referred approximately 90 of these victims, compared with 60 referrals from the previous year. Fifty-nine victims received shelter from the government-funded NGO; all victims received assistance in the form of social and legal counseling in their native language, German-language classes, computer courses, and health prevention. The government provided foreign victims of trafficking with legal alternatives to their removal, and in April 2009 passed the Residence and Settlement Act, which listed victims of trafficking as a special category with a right for temporary resident status. The government encouraged victims to assist with investigations and prosecutions of traffickers and an NGO reported a high rate of victims who willingly cooperated on their cases. Furthermore, police provided information on potential female victims of forced prostitution to NGOs when these victims appeared reluctant to disclose elements of their exploitation to law enforcement. According to one NGO, the only systematic regulation by the government within Austria's sizable, legal commercial sex sector consisted of weekly health checks for sexually transmitted diseases and periodic police checks of registration cards. In 2009, the government began training labor inspectors to increase identification of forced labor trafficking.
The City of Vienna's specialist center for unaccompanied minors accommodated 121 children in 2009, some of whom were reported to be victims of trafficking. This center reportedly facilitated the repatriation of children subjected to forced prostitution and forced begging during the reporting period. However, according to local observers, this center has limited capacity to accommodate trafficked children, does not function as an anti-trafficking NGO, and there was little official follow up or assurances made to ensure a safe return or protection from re-trafficking. Furthermore, the center only accommodated children who have been apprehended by the police, and is an open facility, allowing traffickers continued access to their victims. According to local experts, authorities, especially outside of Vienna, do not identify many child trafficking victims and there are no specialized services or targeted outreach efforts to identify potential children who are trafficked throughout Austria. The government reportedly ensured identified victims were not punished for unlawful acts committed as a direct result of being trafficked; however, during the year at least some child sex trafficking victims were penalized for unlawfully engaging in prostitution.
Austria continued its proactive efforts to prevent trafficking through public awareness raising activities in 2009. It continued to subsidize several TV programs about trafficking and hosted international conferences aimed at raising awareness of trafficking. It funded campaigns to educate clients about the possible presence of trafficked women in the prostitution sector, and to inform women in prostitution about their rights under national law. It accomplished this by distributing information brochures for use by police and NGOs on trafficking, and by police and NGOs maintaining an active presence in well known "red light districts." The Interior Ministry produced and distributed a folder to increase law enforcement's awareness about human trafficking and to improve victim identification. The folder lists contact numbers for anti-trafficking NGOs and government offices responsible for victim protection. The government also subsidized a leaflet produced and distributed by an NGO offering support to victims. According to ECPAT Austria, approximately 4,500 Austrians contribute to the global demand for child sex tourism. Austrian law provided extraterritorial jurisdiction over Austrian nationals who travel abroad to engage in child commercial sexual exploitation. Austria continued a campaign to encourage tourists and travel agencies to report cases of child sex tourism during the reporting period. It did not report any investigations or prosecutions of such activity.

The tower of joy by henningWatch
©2008-2016 henning
This is an illustration for Fantasy Flight Games collectible card game named A Game of Thrones, which is based on the world of best-selling author George R.R. Martins A Song of Ice & Fire. This belongs to the A Time of Ravens Edition.
This is a location called "The tower of joy". First, I made the bottom version, until I got to know that the mountains were supposed to be red ( the red mountains of Dorne). I kept both versions just for fun
Illustrations for card games like this always have short deadlines, and are supposed to be viewed on a smaller scale than here.
Do not use this art!
i sometimes dreamt of living in a tower loke this - very nice...
fine stuff mate! anyway, do u use reference photos? i prefer the snowy mountain anyway, the red has less details in tones.
Very cool! I love it! :thumb83616570:
both look great
Nice!! I prefer the bottom as i am more a cold color lover!
Hey, Henning. I'm glad you showed both versions. It's really interesting to see how much just a change in color can really alter mood, landscape, etc. Like 'em both!
I think the bottom version works better.
Very well done!!!
nice one. you really give attention to details for these cards.
whats so joyful about the tower btw? looks kind of empty and lonely
whats so joyful about the tower btw? looks kind of empty and lonely
I like em both, but the bottom one really pops more. Great work, thanks so much for sharing it with us. ~ BoS
I'm glad you kept the original version, although I do like the top one too. I think I like the bottom one a bit more because it has a greater contrast and gives a better feeling of distance. Or maybe I prefer it just because I've always liked rocky and cold looking landscapes
Regardless, great work man!
Regardless, great work man!
I think the bottom one looks better, the color of the tower is there so great!
The color shift makes for a very interesting comparison.
An instance where you're thankful for the hue/saturation tool, eh?
I think I like the cold weather version better.
I think I like the cold weather version better.
I love these books. You've done them justice.
for some odd reason i prefer the lower image, they are both fantastic though
The stone work on these/this tower is fab! Love it/them!
Great work on both! Its really cool to see the difference between the change in colour and how well yet different they look from each other.
I liked both versions! You're always great...
Both are awesome! I love the snow one!
Love it, but I actually prefer the red mountains. Either version is great though.
Very nice, especially how the details "pop" without being "busy."
Nice shading on the tower, though I think the background works better in your original version.
Beautiful job on both versions! Really nice work!
Nice. I prefer the bottom version with the grey stone. They both look cold, and blasted by the wind, despite the warmer lighting in the top version.
I like them both. Keep the lower. You can always use it as Night's Watch tower...

Pretty impressed
This review is from: VCOM System Suite Pro 6
Pros: Excellent firewall. Nothing gets in or out without you knowing about it. Good defrag, disk tools, registry checker. System restore feature works great. Ruthlessly hunts down spyware, adware, and ad-tracking cookies, along with viruses. Doesn't seem to slow the computer down when kept resident.
Cons: Weird interface takes some getting used to. Be careful with the registry defragmenter; it can mess things up. Fortunately, I could always recover with the restore feature. Annoying v-com ads appear on update window.
Other Thoughts: This is not a sofware package for inexperienced users. There are many tools and the interface is confusing. It is probably one of the better all-in-one solutions. I especially appreciate being able to control applications' ability to "phone home." Nearly all software now has a disturbing tendency to periodically report information to company sites.

Date of Stay: May, 2016
Quiet, wooded campground with good spacing between sites for privacy and plenty of room for slideouts. Crushed gravel roads and pads, free of low branches and fairly level. Picnic tables are solid but old and sites have fire pits and steel arm to hang food off of ground. Restrooms are very clean and showers have shelves, pegs and benches. Mosquitoes were not "fierce" but persistent, so bring repellent. During our stay they struggled with a problem that caused several losses of power, but power company arrived quickly. Also it seemed that water pressure was very low (may be related to the power problem). The Visitor Center is open and has a bucolic film of the SP. There are several trails in the park for walking. Some allow horses and bicycles. Picnic area and lake with boat ramp. The park is very peaceful and enjoyable!
Date of Stay: July, 2015
The campground is small and limited, but the camp host, Russell, Is very friendly and full of info, and the CG is right in the middle of town (Location, location, location!). The VA Creeper recreational trail is at one end of the street (about 3 blocks) and the other end of the street is the AT which runs right thru the middle of town. several other trails very close by. Site was about 1" out of level and power was excellent @ 116 Vac. Not a whole lot of space between sites but we did put out the awning, and all 7 sites back up to the lovely babbling Laurel Creek. We will return here for more bike riding and maybe some kayaking.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Just a basic CG. On the plus side, it is right next to a recreational trail that runs from York to the MD line. Gravel roads and pads are in fair condition. And it is quiet. On the minus side, not much for services. Unattended registration (at least on Friday). Very wooded and Not suitable for a tall rig (too many low-hanging branches for my 12.5'). There are only a couple sites with 30A electric and those were filled by what appeared to be long-term campers. The rest of the electric was 20A NEMA 5-15 (household type) outlets. The sewer connections were unusual... coming out of the ground at a 45 degree angle (not sure how I would connect my 90 degree elbow to that). Needless to say, we did not stay there and because there was essentially no 30A service, we will not be returning. If you are tent or TT camping and looking for some quiet, this might be your place.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
Nice quiet park. The March 2014 review was right on the mark, convenient and quiet. The park RV sites were fairly empty of campers so we had lots of room. Level sites. WiFi was free to us and OK. bath/rest rooms were older but spotless. We stayed 2 weeks and would return again.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
Interior road gravel with a couple potholes near office. Sites gravel/grass/dirt and fairly level with good spacing and a good number of seasonal occupied sites. Verizon coverage VG. The camp store has ice, supplies, and some parts. Playground, pool, Frisbee golf course and more, with a view of part of Lake Cayuga from sites on hill (#17 & 18 are nice). Owner is pleasant and helpful. Great base for exploring Lakes Cayuga and Seneca with walks, wineries, and waterfalls all around you. They even have a cheese trail now. We love the Finger Lakes and this was a nice CG. We recommend it.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Narrow interior roads paved/gravel with some tight turns. I had to back up cause we couldn't go around one block. Sites grass/dirt. Level with fair spacing, shaded, and VG Verizon coverage. Needed extensions for electric and sewer. Park is quiet and owners very helpful. Primarily seasonal with a few campsites near the front. Not bad as a home base for the beaches of Bethany (about 10 min) and Dewey. Site 272 is fairly good. There is a marina and a very small bay side beach.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Rate reflects a travelers special. Park is in excellent condition with paved and gravel roads and gravel site pads (ours 5" out of level). There are mostly shaded with very good spacing. Campground is gated and very quiet with trash and recycle pickup every morning. There is a lake for swimming with slide, inflatable "jungle gym", volleyball and playground equipment, and a separate fishing pond. Wi-Fi coverage was good and VZW was fair. Camp store had a little of everything including groceries, firewood & ice and a few RV repair parts. There is a pavilion with tables for get togethers.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
It's all about location. Just across the river from Memphis. This is a great base. Roads are gravel & pavement with gravel site pads (4" out of level at ours) and some concrete pads. Spacing is fair and a few are shaded. But most are out in the open, especially the riverfront sites. Campground was quiet. The office sold ice and they provided a laundry that was free to use. It's spotless with apparently new machines. VZW coverage was excellent as was the Wi-Fi.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
This is a nice peaceful park, a great getaway. We visited Conway but it does not really seem to be close to any big attractions. Maybe that's the attraction). Paved interior roads and site pads with concrete patio pad and gravel in between (ours 5" out of level). Sites have very good spacing and partial shade. This park is in perfect shape and well cared for. An excellent picnic table, lake beach for swimming (too small for boating), and fair VZW coverage.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Excellent park! Quiet and lovely and very close to the main attraction. Interior roads and site pads are paved with very good spacing and all are partial to fully shaded. Verizon coverage was good. Patrolled regularly be Park Police and camp host was terrific. We arrived around 5 pm, just after a violent micro-burst thunderstorm. Power was out and a couple trees were down in the campground. Host was very helpful in getting us a clear site. One downed tree was removed before dusk, the power was back within 3 hours.and the other downed tree was completely gone the following day. Great work!
Date of Stay: August, 2012
This is an excellent park in a great location for a terrific price. Interior roads and site pads are paved (ours 2" out of level) with excellent spacing and most all shaded. Some lakefront sites are a little more money. We were in site 215 but I think 216 would be the best. Great breeze coming off the lake and nice views. Park police patrol regularly and it is very quiet. There is playground equipment in the campground and a beach with swimming in the adjoining section of the park.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Interior roads and pads are gravel (ours 2" out of level). Sites were shaded with very tight spacing and no room for awning or table. There was traffic noise. The owners were very friendly and helpful on phone. We arrived around 8pm (office closed at 6pm) so our info was on the office door and we dropped cash/check in night box. This is a very weird setup - confusing at best. Site map seems to show 2 site numbers for each site, as though 2 campers could get in a single site (there was barely enough room for our 31'). Our site's water pipe was broken so we had to use the adjoining site's water. Electric was on the wrong side so we had to pull in opposite leaving the sewer connection near our front door. Location is 4 miles north of Louisville but this CG is only good for an overnight stop. We will not be back.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Campground is gated with paved and gravel roads and gravel sites that are fairly level (1" off for us). Spacing is good and about all are shaded. Verizon coverage VG with a Camping World right there and a Bilo grocery across street. Noise level was good and they picked up garbage every morning. Camp Hostess was nice and knowledgeable. She knew what to do when we had to take shelter for a tornado warning and notified every camper personally. Easy 10-15 minute drive to downtown Chattanooga.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Paved interior roads and pads in very good condition. Spacing is somewhat slim with probably 15' between pads, many of which are angled for easy parking. Fairly level (out by 2"). The park is very clean and well run, with some nice sunset views of the mountains and nice picnic tables. Some constant low level noise from nearby interstate, but not too bad. Not a lot for kids, with a minimal "game room", but they do have a pool and you can hardly beat the proximity to town (only like 7 min away!). Owners very friendly and accommodating. Good Sam discount. We will definitely stay here next trip to Asheville.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Good Sam discount reflected. Roads are wide enough with plenty of height clearance, paved & crushed gravel. Sites are crushed gravel with some concrete pads. Park looks nice with good spacing, some shady sites and very nice picnic tables (even a little grassy area, too). BIG shared fire ring across from us. Old dirt road around a pond and down to the river for wooded walks and could probably launch kayak, too . Owners/staff are very friendly, pick up trash in the morning and "patrol" several times a day. Park is quiet. Wi-Fi was upgraded (or repaired) while we were here. Good Verizon coverage. Only 15 min to downtown Greenville (like 6 traffic lights). Will definitely stay here again.

Chuck Versus the C.A.T. Squad - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
Voice over:
The say it's a personality thing, but to me a martini's got gin, not vodka. Some folks like chocolate; I'll take vanilla. I say baseball over football. And to me, man's best friend doesn't bark or fetch a ball. See, personally, I like cats. Meet my Clandestine Attack Team, better known as...The CAT Squad. Meow! They were the best spy team in the business.
The year? 2003. The girls...
Cold-hearted Carina
Zondra - The Bitch
Amy - The Party Girl
And...my pride and joy...Sarah Walker
Go get 'em, Cats!
It was a daydream, courtesy of Morgan based on Chuck filling him in on the Clandestine Attack Team. Chuck is hoping they can attend Sarah's engagement party. Morgan suggests he ask Sarah for the contact information, but thus far, she's been reluctant to help. Chuck wants Morgan to give him Carina's contact info, since they were once an item. Chuck texts her, and Carina gets the ball rolling. She calls Amy to ask how they can find Zondra.
Sarah finds Ellie leaving for an overnight visit, but she'll be back in time for the party. Sarah is apprehensive about the party possibilities. Ellie says she can offer a listening ear whenever needed. When she arrives inside, Chuck gives her the 'good' news. CAT Squad! Now she's REALLY nervous.
The team makes an appearance by rappelling in from a helicopter. They're there for roughly 15 seconds, hooking Sarah up and taking her away. They'll have her home by 12. Chuck thinks midnight is good, but they were talking noon. Tomorrow. Maybe. If Chuck is lucky.
Chuck wakes up to a seriously hungover Sarah. They had a wonderful night, but the girls really don't trust each other anymore. The last time they worked together, one of them was a turncoat, and they don't know which one. There was a bug sweep, and they found a transmitter hidden in the heel of Zondra's boot. She denied it was hers. She passed a lie detector test, they decided to let it go, shook on it, etc. But it made for some bad feelings. Chuck figures that if the CIA cleared her, she's good to go. Time heals, as do margaritas. Speaking of which, he's working on a new recipe for the party. Sarah announces that the engagement party is not the Squad's cup of tea. They'll be gone as soon as they wake up.
Sarah leads Chuck to the sleeping girls, but there's one missing. Carina. She's in bed with Morgan. When he gets out of bed, he's wearing his boxers and a t-shirt. Carina thinks that his new demeanor means he's got a real, ongoing sex life. This makes Morgan attractive to her. He refuses, because she ignored him for months and months. She throws off the sheets and stands up, so Morgan bolts. He tells Chuck he'll be back when Carina is gone. As he opens the door, Alex is poised to knock. They were supposed to do breakfast, and he forgot. He fills her in a bit about the engagement party, and she accepts it. Carina of course shows up wearing a mini robe and acting all possessive. Morgan shoves her back in the apartment and asks Alex about lunch tomorrow. She assures him with a kiss that she trusts him.
The CAT Squad eats breakfast. Chuck asks for old stories, but they're all top secret. Carina drops her foot in Morgan's lap, causing him to leap out of his chair and head for the kitchen. Zondra talks, and Amy says they (Zondra and Sarah) were a great team, and she often thinks about how much fun they had.
Finally, the CATS are leaving, and Sarah is relieved. Zondra looks Chuck up and down as she tells Sarah "Good luck with - THAT." Sarah throws the car keys to Carina as she walks away, and she beeps the car. Chuck says "Baby steps, right? And no more surprises." as the car explodes.
Carina is on the ground with Chuck offering to call an ambulance, but she's okay. Something is sticking out of her leg though. It's part of the bomb, and Chuck flashes from it. Augusto Gaez.
General Beckman fills him in. Augusto Gaez is the arch-nemesis of the CAT Squad, and the leader of The Gentle Hand. The CAT Squad and Casey have joined Chuck and Sarah for the conference. Because he tried to kill them on American soil, Langley is in charge now. The CATS are expected to go get Gaez and extradite him back to the States for trial. Because of Carina's injury, she'll provide support from Castle. Chuck and Casey will shadow the CATS. Sarah tries to tell Beckman that they're not a team anymore, but she's not having any of it. The CATS are back, and they're headed for Rio. Chuck is good to go, but Sarah remains apprehensive about Zondra's trustworthiness.
Augusto gets a call from a heavily-modulated voice. "The CAT Squad is on their way to Rio." He's happy to hear it. His plan is going perfectly.
Chuck has a plan, too. While he's stuck in the surveillance van with Casey, he's going to go over all the files on Zondra and run them through intersect. If she's clean, all is well. If not, they'll take her down at the same time as they do Gaez. Casey has to run interference when Zondra gets combative with Sarah.
Casey tells Morgan he's babysitting Carina. He tries to beg off, but John doesn't believe him. "And I'm hunting unicorns. You're babysitting. Get over it." The CATS discuss how they're going to get in, and Amy says "Guys, hello? It's a party!"
The girls show up all dressed in white, and start mingling. Sarah's necklace relays the picture back to Casey. Chuck fills him in on how he thinks he can clear Zondra, and Casey recognizes himself (back in the day). He used to think he could fix everything. Not anymore. He shares Morgan's belief he should contact Kathleen, but she's moved on, so he's going to let it go.
Gaez arrives at the party, and Zondra calls him in. Surrounded by muscle. Sarah sees him as well.
Morgan and Carina spar about Alex. He hasn't told Alex he loves her yet, so Carina views him as fair game. Alex calls, and he tries to go see her, but Carina informs him he's not going anywhere. Alex starts getting insecure. As they talk, Carina gives him a neck and shoulder rub. Alex tells him he owes her big time, and Morgan fully agrees. He sends all manner of kisses just as General Beckman reappears onscreen to inform them that there is a problem in Rio.
Amy plays "dumb blond" and asks the muscle if she can ask them a question. When they step forward, Sarah asks "Is your insurance paid up?" She and Zondra take the two out, as Amy pulls a handgun. She takes the lead, and the three walk into Gaez' room. Carina weighs in to let them know it's a trap. Morgan tries to second chair her, but she slaps him back out of camera range. The girls are surrounded by gun men, and a very calm Gaez. He advises them to drop their weapons, and they do so.
The girls are immobilized while Gaez makes his pitch. He wants them to join his organization. He needs skilled operatives, who can open a door with a kiss, or a smile. Chuck is working his way to the girls when one of them starts working on her bonds. Chuck calls in to Casey, letting him know that there are five guards, and he's going to use the intersect to capture Gaez. Casey wants him to sit tight until he gives the signal.
Sarah starts taunting Gaez and Zondra. Zondra is angry, and fed-up. She wants Sarah to accuse her out loud and to her face, instead of under her breath as she's been doing for years. Sarah return fires, because Zondra's been doing the same by alleging that Sarah set Zondra up. Sarah is the one who put the tracker in the boot. Gaez tries to turn the girls against each other.
Sarah bursts through her bonds and has her weapon to Gaez' throat. He's about to tell her who amongst the CATS was working with him, when Chuck falls through the roof. He uses the intersect to take down the guards. Gaez escapes and he's promptly captured by Casey. Sarah gives Chuck a cheerful earful and cuts him down. She's very angry at him.
Beckman tells them they did a good job in Rio, but they still don't know who the mole is. Casey thinks it's Carina, but Chuck thinks it's Amy. Is anybody really that perky? Beckman gives Casey orders to interrogate Gaez. The CATS have to stay nearby until things are resolved.
Sarah has a job for Chuck.
Alex arrives at work and sees that Morgan has lipstick on his collar. That's it. Three strikes and he's out. It's over.
Zondra is tired of Walker's crap. They're gonna solve this old school. They kick box.
Amy joins Casey in the interrogation. Gaez claims he's never even heard of "The Gentle Hand".
Zondra and Sarah talk as they fight, and find that Sarah couldn't have planted anything in that boot. She got an anonymous call to stay in Paris. She was never in Milan.
Amy powders her nose. When Casey asks her about primping, she blows the powder in his face and he is immobilized. She joins Zondra and Sarah as they come to the realization that she's the mole. She incapacitates Zondra and gloats to Sarah. She has everything she ever wanted, but she's lonely. Sarah should join her. Sarah tells her to go to hell. She knocks Sarah down, reminding her that she has a target on her back. Amy knows where she lives. Sarah, Chuck; the sister with the baby? Don't forget. She knocks Sarah down and out.
Ellie find Chuck leaving with a great deal of luggage. He tells her that he loves Sarah, he just wants her to be happy. Everything he did backfired. Ellie tells him he doesn't have to fix everything. He blew it, big time. But Ellie is pretty sure Sarah still loves him.
Morgan gives Carina a cheerful earful. He's leaving to tell Alex he loves her. Carina tries to stop him, but he keeps walking, right into Amy's fist. Gaez puts a gun to Carina's head, and then knocks her unconscious.
Sarah comes to, grabs her phone and calls Chuck. She fills him in on what's transpired. Castle is in lockdown, and Gaez and Amy are headed his way. They're in the elevator. She expects him to hide, but Chuck refuses. He has a plan. Amy tries to intimidate him as Chuck sets up his trap. Sarah says she doesn't have time to forgive Chuck, Gaez and Amy are headed his way.
Chuck breaks a CD into shurikens, one of which disarms Amy. He uses the intersect to disarm and take down Gaez, but Amy jumps on his back. He tries not to fight her, because he was raised to be a gentleman. When he falls, the keys fall out of his pocket, and Amy scoops them up. She's about to leave when she trips over the wire Chuck left across the aisle for her. When she looks up, Sarah, Zondra and Carina are standing over her, guns drawn.
The CATS are happy they found the mole. Sarah and Zondra apologize in unison. They enjoyed their friendship. They will both be at the engagement party and the wedding. They're going to be bridesmaids. Carina needs to apologize to Morgan.
Sarah thanks Chuck for bringing the CATS back into her life. It needs to end here, though. No more digging. But she needs him to keep helping her. Always. He's perfect. They kiss.
Alex arrives at the party and sees a sad Morgan, nursing a beer. She tells him it's over. She doesn't feel special, she just feels lied to. She apologizes and walks away. He calls her back and tells her the truth. He says I love you twice, followed by "I am in love with you." For real. She loves him too. But he can't do this. He won't. Promise. Carina tries to apologize, but Alex doesn't need to hear it. Morgan loves her.
Sarah tells Ellie it's all very lovely. She doesn't even know where her father is, and her relationship with her mother is very strained, so it's complicated. She's willing to share more with Ellie. They can get Chuck involved later. She asks Ellie to be her maid of honor, and Ellie accepts.

Family-owned, very welcoming and helpful owners going out of their way to make me feel welcomed. Clean and comfortable bedrooms and washrooms. Seems catered for bigger groups coming to Medjugorje since the restaurant was big (though they were fine with me bringing in my own food and using their plates etc since I was on a budget). Fast WiFi. Just about 5 minutes walk from the church and right behind a huge supermarket which also accepts Euros (as most places do there). Thanks Ivan and family!!

Scandal's Katie Lowes on marriage, plus news from HollywoodBy Gerri Miller
We talk with Scandal's Katie Lowe, plus news on Kate Hudson, Chelsea Handler & Jamie-Lynn Sigler.Go To Pop Culture
The Orthodox on Intermarriage
No one expects the Orthodox to be particularly friendly towards interfaith families or intermarriage. Their approach to intermarriage can range from the insulting to the downright vindictive. But every so often a little bit of sense shines through, as in the case of this smart piece from the Canadian Jewish News detailing the religious justification for inviting non-Jewish guests to the seder.
Nowhere in Jewish liturgy are non-Jews barred from attending the seder, and Rabbi Maurice Lamm, an Orthodox rabbi, promotes inviting non-Jews, especially if their family members, because excluding them "will create rancor, even enmity," according to Rabbi Wayne Allen, a Conservative rabbi in Ontario (In Canada, Conservative is often closer to Modern Orthodox than American Conservative). Plus, says Allen, opening doors to non-Jewish guests is a way of debunking the medieval claims that Jews ate matzah made out of Christian blood.
From our standpoint, Passover may be the best opportunity to involve non-Jews in Jewish life because the seder is by its nature adaptable, and the home is a much less intimidating religious space than the synagogue.

I have told him from the beginning of my pregnancy that he had to quit.
Well, Ori is 3 weeks old and he is still smoking.
He smokes outside, washes his hands, face, brushes his teeth and changes his clothes when he is done. I can still smell the smoke. It makes me so sick. It gets me so angry that both of my kids are exposed to it.
I don't know what to do! I am beyond frustrated. He rejects any tools to he him quit smoking. Wtf?!

Woman dies after crashing into SUV; car caught fireJanuary 29,2013JAMAICA — Authorities say a car skidded across a snow-covered southern Vermont road and crashed into a large SUV before catching on fire, killing a woman.
State police say the collision happened Monday afternoon in the town of Jamaica.
A preliminary investigation shows that a car was traveling southbound on Route 30 when the female driver lost control and the vehicle skidded across the road. It crashed into a northbound SUV driven by 48-year-old Gavin Scotti, of Greenwich, Conn.
Authorities say the car caught on fire shortly after the crash, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name is being withheld until family can be notified.
Scotti and his 14-year-old passenger were taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

Japanese Soy Chicken
Acknowledgements: This is a George Foreman recipe. It is meant to be done in a George Forman Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine (R). I however bake it in my oven.
I modify this recipe a little to suit my tastes. One of the biggest modifications that I make is I use tablespoons instead of teaspoons.
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce – I use Citrus flavored Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil – I use Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Asian Chile oil or pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced or 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic paste
1 teaspoon ground ginger – Optional
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon clover honey
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves – I generally don't half the breast. I usually make 2 whole breasts.
To make:
In a flat glass pan, combine the soy sauce, oils, garlic, ginger, pepper and honey. Mix well to dissolve the honey. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1-4 hours or overnight.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken in a casserole dish and pour a little of the marinade in for the chicken to cook in. Bake for 45 minutes.
Suggestion: Serve with Pepper Jelly.
