Feb 2014 - $32.00
The park is in a beautiful natural area of Florida. It is set on a narrow river that is filled with gators and fish. They offer canoeing, kayaking, and nature trails. The price of rentals is reasonable. The service is another matter. If you go on the weekends you'll wait for service and the staff is less than kind. The canoe/kayak staff didn't say hello, can I help you or anything. They were extremely rude to everyone I saw come up for service. FYI, the park is in the middle of nowhere so you should ensure that you arrive prepared. There are no restaurants, markets or convenience stores within 25 miles plus. Dirt pads and when it rains, you'll get muddy. As many of my reviews in the past have stated, this is another park that has spent next to nothing on the park in the way of maintenance or updating the tables, sites, swing sets, or anything else. Concrete picnic tables that have been there for decades are crumbling. The only upgrades have been up to the Camp Store and boat ramp. But, if you're looking for a way to see the "old Florida", the place is worth a few days. Try and stay here during the week. - User2406
Mar 2012 - $31.00
This is one of the most beautiful areas for canoeing, but creek was very low this time of year. Most of the campsites are very roomy and well spaced apart. The RV loops are further from the creek and boat launch. If you want RV hookups, Loop A is the shadiest, but furthest from the bathhouse. For a creek side tent site, #62 is one of the best. If only they had electric hookups in the tent area. They used to many years ago with previous owners. Bathhouse in the RV section is much nicer. Tent area bathhouse is very old. Due to a rain shower, floor was extremely muddy and had no TP. Some of the tent people drove up in their trucks with lots of kids and used the RV bathhouse: making it very noisy and crowded. Campground is busy on weekends, but quiet during the week (typical). - On the Road again 11
Oct 2008 - $18.00
This campground is on a huge wildlife management area. There are three different parts to the campground. Two parts are primitive camp sites only. One of those is on the creek and the other is on a lake. The RV part is in an area between the primitive parts. There are shady RV spots, but not many. Most are very sunny. When the train came through it was kind of neat and it only happened one time while we were there. The store is well stocked with food and other supplies and the people who run it are very nice. The bathrooms were as clean as campground bathrooms can be expected to be. They were relatively close to all the RV sites, but pretty far from the primitive sites. They have a laundry facilities. Wood was directly delivered to your campsite when you bought it. It was a friendly place in a nice setting. It wasn't one of those huge KOA sites that has everything, but depending on what you like, this place may be just for you. It is in the middle of no where, so be prepared to travel if you have to run to the grocery store or want to eat out somewhere. This is a very nice CG to stay at. - MichaelW

This park is truly a piece of quiet paradise : )
Cows and horses off in the pastures ( they love treats )
Mini horses that you can ask to have the ranch hand take small ones for a ride on...
Awesome heated pool, wifi, clubhouse, pentaque, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and stocked ponds...

Apr 2015 - $12.00
Great park.
The only downfall is a 15 mile trip to the nearest stores. A small convenience store within 1/2 mile is due to open, so that should help. It would be wise to stock up on groceries.
They have the standard RV park rules, but the unique thing is they enforce them! Absolutely great staff.
Our AT&T worked well for both voice and data. Typical Wi-Fi is available, not great, but adequate.
The best testimony I can give is : Are we returning again this winter and spending our money there?? YES-YES-YES.
After living in South Florida for 35 years I can attest that this is the best park for the buck in the area. - Dog Folks
Jan 2015 - $10.00
Hard to find but once you are there, it is nice. secluded, reasonably quite and very well maintained. Palmdale may be just a Post Office and a memory of Florida's early years, but the managers of Sabal Palm RV Resort are Very friendly and most helpful. The drives are sand but the RV Pads are concrete and we loved it. Can't wait for next winter but remember it is "20 miles to anywhere". Check your map. Rates are reasonable and everyone is friendly. From bingo to music there is entertainment all the time. - jimdave

NY Times Bestseller At Last!
Yesterday the bundle, A Kiss of Christmas Magic, was listed on the NY Times bestseller list at spot #11. It pegged #31 on the USA Today bestseller list. For those that follow this blog, my newsletter, or website / Facebook page, you might remember the second longest story in that bundle is by Dawn Michelle. Dawn Michelle happens to be the name my wife and I write under (and it's also her name, if you want to get technical). So, in a roundabout way, that means after five years of being a professional writer, I'm finally a NY Times bestselling author. Queue up the confetti, sirens, parade, and line of celebratory cocktails.
Then I checked my daily sales this morning. On the same day I sold 19 books and Dawn Michelle sold 4. How's that for taking the wind out of my sails? Or sales…whichever spelling you prefer (see what I did there?)
I have to say that, hands down, the group of writers I worked with where fun, amazing, and professional. Well, a few times we might not have been professional, but it was in a fun and energizing sort of way. The point is, every one of them deserves it, and every one of them is a damn fine writer on their own merits.
What the process also told me is that being a great writer isn't nearly enough. I always believed that if you write a good book, and write enough of them, the volume and quality of work will speak for itself. The readers and sales will come. Life will be good. After nearly writing 70 books and receiving a lot of outstanding reviews and praise, I'm here to say that enough isn't enough.
To hit the list we needed the combined might of a whole lot of fan bases, first and foremost. Some of the authors have dedicated fans in numbers that left me staggering. I learned a LOT in the process, including the sheer masses of paranormal romance readers that are out there. I mean…wow! There's a lot.
But that wasn't enough, we needed more. That more came in the form of literally thousands of dollars spent in advertising. I can't begin to grasp where all of it went, but there was a lot of ads out there getting the word out. That was a huge contributer. It bumped us up to our peak of #15 on the Amazon bestselling chart (all paid books).
So this is me being happy and also warning fledgling writers out there. Sure, there will always be exceptions to the rule that skyrocket to the top for no reason other than right time, right place, right luck. The over 99.9999% of us have to bust our asses. It's a business and there's no such thing as fair play. Write your asses off and understand it doesn't end there. There's a lot more to it than that. And if you're like me without a budget for such extras, that means figuring it out and finding the time to do it yourself.
Good luck my friends – now that I've hit the NY Times list my plans are… write another book.

Did Amazon Do Something Right?
I was chatting via email to another writer the other day who was asking for some tips on getting his first book out there. The man was an English Lit professor and here he's asking me for help with words. I found that ironic. But I shared what few tips I have. It boils down to writing a lot, accepting criticism, writing some more, making sure you find decent editors, and then doing some more writing.
I also touched on the reviewing process (part of the criticism speech) and how bad reviews can sink a book. I mentioned how Amazon is trying hard to eliminate bogus reviews, although they take some good ones along the way. I went on to talk about how my Vitalis series, when I sold them as novellas for $.99 a pop, were butchered by a couple of people that slammed them in reviews because I was allegedly trying to abuse Amazon's system and being greedy. Nevermind that the price for buying the Omnibus is the same as it was for buying all seven novella length stories.
I had a possible epiphany while writing that. I took my novellas off sale after the abuse I received for them. Prior to the hateful reviews they were ranked in the top 20 and top 10 in their categories (sci-fi). Was it possible the bad reviews were actually bogus reviews written by other writers? In some cases I even had identical reviews on multiple books from the same person! It got me wondering, with Amazon's push to eliminate bogus reviews would my novellas possibly stand a chance of being popular again?
With that thought in mind, I'm going to re-release my Vitalis novellas. Book 1, New Beginnings, will remain free. The rest will be $.99. Here are the links if you'd like to check them out – or at least try the first one (it's free!).
Vitalis books:
Episode 1: New Beginnings
Episode 2: The colony
Episode 3: Parasites
Episode 4: Screamer
Episode 5: Squatter's Rights
Episode 6: Evolution
Episode 7: Matriarch
or the Vitalis Omnibus (parts 1 – 7)
Vitalis: Resurrection, the novel length sequel

Wanted… the Movie?
I've had more than a few people tell me they can see Wanted being made into a movie (with Ice Princess sure to follow). Who am I to argue? I think it would be an awesome movie. Granted there may be a little confusion over the title, given the recent movie of the same name staring Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. But hey, that's negotiable! If you happen to know any screenwriters or have any contacts in Hollywood, send 'em my way!
In the meantime there are some very important questions I need help with… just what actors / actresses would play the characters in Wanted? My wife suggested Anne Hathaway for Jessie. I've got a massive amount of respect for Anne Hathaway's talent and skill and I'm sure she could pull it off. I'll admit, I'd be more than a little star struck to meet her too. I've admired her ever since she got away from the goofy early Disney movies.
As for Carl, my wife's vote is for Hugh Jackman. I like him – a lot – but I'm not sure he fits the image. He might, if he tapped into a little bit of the hostility for authority he displayed while playing Wolverine. Bruce Willis, on the other hand, might be a perfect fit for Carl, though he'd need some hair.
Tanya and Dustin…I'm at a loss for these guys. And of course the question remains as to whether or not our picks for Carl and Jessie are optimal or not. Sure, this is just a case of mental masturbation but hey, if you've read this far into it, you're asking yourself the same questions!
Or, if you haven't read the book yet, hop on over to Amazon and pick it up – it's free and easy to find since it's #1 on the Amazon list for science fiction / adventure free Kindle books!
Wanted on Amazon UK (not free)

Writing Outside of the Box
I had somebody ask me a while back on this very blog if it was suicide for a writer to write in more than one genre. My feelings are that it should be quite the opposite, and here's why.
I'm a science fiction writer, but my second most successful series is a fantasy series called Voidhawk. Granted, Voidhawk is a space fantasy, but I assure you there is little to no science to be found in it. I've also dabbled in a few other genres, including romance. Only once so far, but it was a fun experience and I may very well revisit it in the future. So with that said I clearly have no qualms about jumping genres. In fact many of my titles cross genres. I'm reckless like that. I've been known to let my veggies cross the line on my plate to mingle with my steak as well.
I believe in a story, whether its mine or not. The story, if it's good, determines how enjoyable a read it is, not the genre or length. So you've got astronauts landing on a derelict space ship, neat. They stumble into a locked vault that hasn't been opened in centuries? Cool. Their are giants entombed in the hold with the bodies of horses? Rock on! They just woke up and sank their fangs into the human astronauts, sucking out their blood and turning them into vampires? Um…sure, why not?
My stories aren't quite that exotic. If I could find a way to make it work I wouldn't be opposed to giving it a shot. I do have a series that starts with urban fantasy and jumps heavily into paranormal (Dark Earth). From there it continues to blend in science fiction and more paranormal (The Lost Girls, Voices), and also introduce a heavy dose of mystery / hard boiled detective (The Lost Girls, upcoming release of Traitor).
Readers are smart people. They know what they like and when they find it, they'll read it. In most cases they're not going to view a writer who strayed from their chosen genre as a traitor. In fact, it's far more likely that they're probably going to be more likely to step out of their own comfort zone and try something out of the ordinary because of it. I have a few readers who have told me that they've strayed into unfamiliar waters because they liked my writing style. The end result was them being excited at being introduced to a new genre.
Now if you've got a genre where you're consistently nailing best sellers with each release it might be prudent to stick with it. Otherwise expand your horizons and branch out. Try something new, you'll grow from it and more than likely grow your reader pool, rather than decrease it!

A Readers Dilemma
I spent some time in the waiting room at the hospital emergency room last night, then later in an actual room in the ER. I brought in my wife's Kindle for something to pass the time and while browsing through the items on it I had a few discoveries. No, not discoveries like some great reads, rather discoveries that alarmed me. I had a hell of a time trying to find something worth reading! On the Kindle screen the cover is too small to see much of it, plus it's black and white. The title was all that stood out. So other than a few searches I conducted I mostly browsed through the top 100 lists. I selected a few that found away to pique my interest and downloaded the samples of them to check them out. That's when epiphany number two struck.
A lot of the books on the Amazon best selling lists suck! Oh sure, there are varying levels of suckage, and in some cases he story was interesting but just not enough to compensate for the errors in flow or the technique (or lack thereof) in which the story was told. I even checked out a story from a Twitter friend of mine and found it to be close, but still a disappointment. How is this happening?!
A lack of control is the answer. Self-publishing is taking the literary world by storm but I can see how the near obsolete publishing companies of old laughed at it initially. It's hard to believe people will accept the quality found within these self-pubbed books compared to what they've grown up on in properly edited print versions. To be fair, some of the problems are conversion issues. Some. The rest…not so much.
And that led me to a moment of controlled anger. Why are these books ranked so highly when mine, which flow far better and have a much more polished look, languish in lower ranks. Am I saying my books are better than these bestselling top 100 lists? Yes, yes I am. Sure, I'm biased, but amongst 11 published titles my lowest review is a 3 and no, I don't have my wife and family posting reviews for me. If you don't believe me I'll accept that challenge and suggest you try out a couple of my books and compare them to other books in the top 100 list for the same genre. No, not the ones written by the famous NY Times bestselling authors that have been around for years, but the other indie authors out there.
As for how those other guys got on the top lists with only average work, the answer, clearly, is networking. Some of these authors must have people on tap ready to snatch them up in quantities necessary to propel them onto the lists and then, once there, the titles often take care of themselves. My experience with the Kindle proved that the easiest way to buy a book is via the top lists. If it's not on there an author is fighting for table scraps.
No, I don't have a suggestion for people to help them find books in a better way. Well, aside from typing my name into the search box, that is. :) Seriously though, I'd advise readers when they find a writer they like to share the word and give them as much of a boost as they can to help them get up there. Without sales we lose heart (and the ability to pay bills), and that means we can't write and publish as much since we'll have to get a real job.

How to Advertise
Happy news, I set a new record for sales this month. Two records, actually – I sold more copies of Wanted this month than ever before and on top of that, I doubled last months sales a day before the end of the month. Ah hell, how about the hat trick – Wanted also broke the 20,000 mark in "all sold books" on Amazon. A couple more sales and it'll break 10,000 – hint, hint.
But this is about advertising. How'd I get to where I'm at? Wanted has two review on Amazon. Sure, they're both good reviews, but only two. It's got a striking cover. Not the best, but it's good. I'm tried my best to make the Amazon page appealing…but again, it's one of many. So why is it doing reasonably well?
Pricing maybe? I've got it at $.99 at the moment. Yes, that helps. But it doesn't pull people in to look at it in the first place. That's a combination of me doing my best to make it available as many places as possible, including Twitter.
Ah yes, Twitter. The marketing mecca of the 21st century. I've amassed roughly 5000 followers and I regularly send out tweets that promote my books. Not directly, typically. Usually I'm either throwing out a snippet from a review and suggesting people check it out because, damn it, I'm proud of what somebody said in that review. At other times if I think there's a particularly catchy phrase in a book I'll tweet that as well. One of the best catch phrases in Wanted, for example, is: "We're all whores, darling," he said. "I ain't judging you, I just don't care." If that's not cool I don't know what is.
And, of course, if you're going to give people a reason to check out something, give 'em a link to do so! The easier you make it for someone, the greater the chance of generating that click. I'm a reader too and if I've got to do the extra work to find something like looking it up, odds are good you just lost me as a buyer. It's not that I'm a prick, it's that I've got a lot of things going on. I'm a busy man, and while my time is not any more valuable than yours is, it is valuable nonetheless. Treat your would-be readers with the same respect you want to be treated with and you'll get a lot further.
I mentioned pride above. As in I'm proud of the reviews I've received. I don't have a massive amount, but so far I don't have a single bad review. Sure, I expect sooner or later I'm going to ruffle somebody's feathers, but it hasn't happened yet. That doesn't mean I'm the next NY Times #1 Bestseller, nor that I'm a marketing genius. It just means I'm doing okay and connecting with the right people who like what I write. This is called targeting my market. I'm no wizard at it – in fact I'd say I'm more lucky than anything, but that luck is aided by trying to find people on Twitter to follow and tweet with who share my interests. Who wants the apple at the top of the tree when there's one at the bottom that's just as good and you don't need a ladder? Pluck the low hanging fruit first!
More on pride. I'll be honest (for those who don't know me) and admit that I can be rather full of myself when it comes to a few areas. Weight lifting, in particular power lifting, is something I've excelled at (and suffered catastrophic injuries while doing). I figure that earns me the right to talk a little smack. My day job and many prior jobs and college degrees / certifications state that I'm an expert in the IT field, so I can roll my eyes with the best of them there too.
But writing? Writing is personal. Writing is pouring time and effort and life into something that comes entirely from inside. Every character has a part of me in it, and short of reality TV stars, who's comfortable baring parts of their souls to complete strangers? So a positive review, a positive rating, or even a sale is nothing short of humbling. Every time somebody reaches out to me on Twitter, Facebook, my blog, my website, or via email and says they enjoyed what I wrote I'm filled with a warm fluffy feeling.
Maybe I haven't become jaded yet, but I have a hard time seeing that ever get old. Reading a book is an investment not only in the money spent buying it but also in time. The time is generally for more valuable. Even at minimum wage a single hour would buy any of my ebooks. Reading them, on the other hand, will take considerably longer. If someone's willing to spend that much time with a little piece of my soul and then come back and say, "Hey, good job, I really liked what I read!" Well, is there a better compliment to be found?
So to tie that back into the advertising aspect, do little things like this. Share with the world just how damned appreciative and amazed I am that they like what I'm doing. As Lady Gaga figured out, nothing is possible in this type of market with the fans. So for anybody who's read one of my books or one day plans on it, my door's open and, so long as you're not a stalker who wants to wear a bodysuit made out of my skin, I'm always happy to talk.
And now another chance to check out Wanted because, well, it's a fun book with a main character who reminds us all of how we'd like to act if only we could get away with it. Well, for the most part, Carl can! And when you've finished Wanted and have questions, head on back to find the sequel, Ice Princess!

K9 Unit
The Madison Police Department's K9 unit is comprised of six dogs. All of the dogs are dual-purpose dogs, trained in both narcotics detection and patrol work (building searches, tracking, etc). Five of the dogs are assigned to patrol services, and one is assigned to the West District Community Policing Team.

The department's K9 teams provide a great service to the community, tracking missing persons, apprehending suspects and locating evidence. They allow patrol officers to work in a safer and more efficient manner and perform functions that human officers are simply unable to do. For example, officers searching a building—without the benefit of a K9 team—will take much longer to perform the search (and will be exposed to greater risk). Performing a building search with a K9 team will enable to the search to be performed in much less time, increasing efficiency (freeing up officers for other calls/duties) and decreasing risk to officers. The K9 teams have tracked (and located) missing persons, apprehended dangerous suspects, and been responsible for the removal of a significant amount of illegal drugs and weapons from the community.
All the costs of the patrol K9 teams (except for officer salaries) are provided by community donations. A non-profit organization - Capital K9's - staffed by community volunteers raises funds to support the unit.

This map depicts approximately 150 landing zones and firebases that were used in Northern I Corps South Vietnam during the war - see list below. The original map (without added locations) is a Joint Operations Graphic (Air) Map printed by the DMA in September of 1983. The map shows roughly the area from the DMZ down to almost DaNang. The labeled locations were plotted from an operational map used during the war that belongs to a friend of mine. Many of these locations will be familiar to those that served with the 101 st Airborne, the 1 st Cavalry, various Marine groups, and 1/5 Mech during the different years in Vietnam . I'm sure that many other groups served in this area, and I'd be glad to add them to this list. Not all of these locations were open and operational at the same time. Many former soldiers have spent hours looking this map over and recalling incidents (good and bad) that occurred in these areas. This map does not include all locations, and some could have been renamed by different units. Be sure to review the list of locations included A-1 (Alpha 1) Eagles Nest Peking A-2 Eden Pepper A-3 Erskine Phu Bai A-4 Fern Pike A-5 First Pistol Airborne Foxy Quang Tri Alpine Fuller Quick 1 Ann Fury Quick II Anzio Georgia Rakkasan Arrow Geronimo Razor Arsenal Gladiator Razorback Ridge Ashau Valley Goodman Rendezvous Ax Granite Rifle Bach Ma Hamburger Hill Ripcord Barbara Hammer Rocket Barnett Hardcore Rock Crusher Bastogne Hawk Rockpile Bergtesgaden Henderson Roy Bible Holcomb Ruong Ruong Valley Birmingham Hornet Saigon Blaze Hue Sandy Blitz Jack Sarge Bone Jane Scotch Boyd Jerome Satan II Boise Jose Shaparral Bowling Alley Kelly Shepard Bradley Khe Gia Bridge Sledge Brick Khe Sahn Spear Bullet Langley Stella C-1 (Charlie 1) Lang Vei Strike C-2 Leatherneck Summer C-3 Lejeune Sword C-4 Lillian T-Bone Camp Carroll Lucy Tenearu Camp Eagle LZ Betty Tennessee Camp Evans LZ Jane The Anvil Cannon LZ Sally Thor Caribou LZ Sharon Tiger Mountain Cates Mai Loc Tomahawk Cathryn Maureen Torch Cecile Miller Tun Tavern Cindy Mink Turnage Con Thien Mooney Vandergrift Cua Viet Musket Vehgel Cunningham Nancy Victory Currahee Normandy Whip Dallas Nuts Wunder Beach Destiny O'Reilly Zon Dick Parrot Dong Ha Pedro This is the second version of this map that I have compiled, and this one was printed in August of 2005.

Early - Mid 20th Century Mende / Sierra Leone Sande Society Wooden figure of a Female, Africa. 36" high. Right foot missing and separation of head due to pitch of tree trunk. Stunning conversational piece and in very good condition for age and use. The female association Sande is the counterpart of the male association of the Poro. Sande is directed by experienced older women and divided in subgroups. All Mende women when they reach puberty begin the initiation process into the Sande society. The goals of this secret society are to teach young women the responsibilities of adulthood. The girls are taught to be hard working and modest in their behavior, especially towards their elders. Sande influences every aspect of a Mende woman's life; it is present before birth and still present after death. Sande is the guardian of women; their protector and guide through life. It is Sande that grants a woman with an identity and a personality. (p15 (Boone) Mende women love Sande, they celebrate it and treasure it, and pass it down through the generations. The Sande society arouses the highest aspirations among its members. It is concerned with defining what it is to be human and of discovering the ways of promoting love, justice, and harmony. It is a moral philosophy that focuses on the perpetual refinement of the individual. Sande leaders serve as models to women in the community. They exemplify the highest of Mende ideals, and they have the duty of enforcing positive social relationships and of removing any harm that might come to women in their community. "This is Sande; women together in their womanhood, in a free exchange of words and actions among sisters. Where ever two or three women are gathered together, there is the spirit of Sande."

"Between the mountains and the sea" Top 5 Page for this destination Santiago by TheWanderingCamel
Santiago Travel Guide: 972 reviews and 2,280 photos
Coming to the city overland from Argentina is no less dramatic. The pass across the Andes takes you to 10,000 feet and through a long tunnel. Then it's a seemingly-endless switchback of terrifying hairpin bends, down , down, down from the barren, rocky heights, through the increasingly green and lush Arconcagua Valley, its rushing river tumbling through a steep gorge and between steep banks where water-side willows give way to cactii further up the steep hillside.
Once you are in the city, the mountains are behind you - forming a dramatic backdrop to the urban sprawl - a mixture of old and new, grand and rundown, affluent and poor. To get to the sea you actually have to cross another range of mountains -the coastal cordillera. But that is for later - right now you have Santiago to explore.

I lived in Santiago when I learnt Spanish in 2007 and returned the following year when I travelled around the Chilean and Argentine Lake Districts for 3 weeks. A very interesting city to start off your travels with...Great page! Dawn
A Five-Star page! You have a gift for writing which makes me wish to visit whatever place you are visiting! Extremely interesting, informative with great photos to top it all off!
I couldn't agree with you more - Santiago definitely is the kind of city that grows on you. I actually wouldn't mind going back to do a Spanish immersion, especially if I could stay near Barrio Bellavista - that was my favourite part of the city :o)
Thank you for your kind comment on my Lisbon page. I enjoyed this Santiago page a lot. I must see those ascensores in Valparaiso some day.
Santiago will be my next South American destination...Barrio Bellavista sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing...pre-Columbian treasures are always amazing...
A lot of great updates again, Leyle,thanks for sharing ! This excellent page is bringing back great memories ! There is so much to see there and it was great to see the many houses in colonial style there !
I must say, I do have a soft spot for old colonial buildings - particularly as I am on old colonial construction myself! Excellent tips on a beguiling destination. Ah, if only I didn't dissolve at the thought of any flight over 2.5 hours...
That is a nice South American page, Leyle. You show well the colonial Hispanic architecture, which fascinates me since I can look at books. Thanks for the link to this wonderful website of the of the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino. Cheers H.
santiago kind of reminds me of santo domingo, all that colonial architecture and history. now im really looking forward to it!
Excellent page with a wide panorama of the history from the precolumbian period to Salvador Allende's memory and the superb Mercato centrale. The tip about quipu is very informative and the linked website excellent !

On Tuesday morning, New London Mayor Daryl Finizio posted an announcement on his official Facebook page that the city's transfer station, which has been closed since a city resident was killed in a compactor accident Jan. 30, would reopen today.
Floyd Smeeton, a much-respected city resident, a widower who lived for many years on Borodell Place, was killed after apparently falling into the transfer station compactor hopper while unloading trash.
Several people familiar with the incident told me recently that the control room at the compactor, which has glass windows overlooking the machine, was not manned at the time of the accident.
People who first saw the fallen Smeeton in harm's way, after finding no one in the control room to stop the machine, ran some distance to a nearby transfer station office to get help, according to people familiar with what happened.
By the time transfer station employees arrived back at the compactor controls, to turn off the trash-crushing machine, it was too late, the sources say.
Residents who use the transfer station regularly also have said it was not uncommon in the past to find the trash compactor running unattended, the access gates left open.
So when I reached the mayor Tuesday, after his transfer station reopening announcement was posted, I expected him to be able to report what changes in equipment or protocol have been made to make it safe.
Incredibly, the mayor said he didn't know.
He said he only knows that state investigators and the city's public works department have decided it is OK to reopen.
Wasn't he even a little curious, I asked, to know what has changed in almost two weeks, since a city resident was killed after falling in the machine, to make the area safe?
Apparently not.
Finizio told me two investigations are underway, one by the agency that provides municipal liability insurance coverage, and another by the state Labor Department, which investigates accidents at municipal work sites.
A third investigation, by the city's police department, has concluded there was no foul play in Smeeton's death, the mayor said.
But what about criminal negligence, which can be defined as allowing avoidable dangers to manifest?
The mayor emphasized that he awaits the outcome of the outside investigations and said he has ordered everyone who works for the city to cooperate with them.
But he said he knows of no investigations by the city itself to find out what went wrong.
It is remarkable to me to think that someone dies on your watch and you don't make any effort to independently get to the bottom of what happened and find out if someone who works for the city might bear some responsibility, whether changes need to be made.
Even though the Labor Department is investigating, a probe that could take up to a month, according to a department spokesman, there is certainly nothing to prevent the mayor from asking his own questions.
I know he's busy. But this is important. Lawsuits are certainly coming.
I also spoke Wednesday to the director of the agency that insures New London and other Connecticut municipalities. He said they are indeed reviewing the accident the way any insurance company would look into a claim, but he said they are certainly not planning to make conclusions or recommendations about the way the transfer station is run.
That's the mayor's responsibility - one he seems to be ducking.
I thought Public Works Director Tim Hanser would know what happened to cause Floyd Smeeton's death, but he said he, too, is awaiting the results of the state investigation.
He said he doesn't know whether anyone was in the compactor control room when Smeeton died, or whether protocol calls for someone to be manning the controls.
More incredible, he said he is not sure if anyone will be at the controls today when the station reopens. He said he has been busy the last few days and the transfer station supervisor has been handling those details.
The only changes he knows of, Hanser said, is that Jersey barriers have been erected so that station employees, not the public, will load the compactor.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the public works director, like the mayor, doesn't know what happened to Floyd Smeeton and has not made any effort to find out.
This is the person responsible for a simple heating system leak that has remarkably filled City Hall with steam for the winter.

There is certainly no shortage of dangerous flora and fauna that exists on the mysterious world of Pandora, but it's the Na'vi that pose the biggest threat thanks to their intelligence, speed, size and several other factors. It also doesn't help that human marines can link their brains up with Avatar versions of the alien race, adding a whole new skill set to a certain breed of Na'vi warrior.
Still, it's hard to say whether or not the Na'vi could hold their own against some of Cameron's other creations. Since we aren't likely to ever witness these showdowns, let's settle for the next best thing — hypothetical cage matches!
The express purpose of a Terminator's existence is to kill anything in its path that poses even a moderate threat level. But despite their mechanical composition, the Terminators are — for the most part — smaller in stature than the swift Na'vi, who also have the advantage of free will. I think a ten-foot Na'vi warrior would easily have its way with a standard T-800 grade machine, though something like the T-1000 could be a little trickier. Even then, a cunning Na'vi could lure the shapeshifting robot into a cleverly placed pool of molten lead. My gut says that the Na'vi could take Skynet down.
Again, the size difference between a Na'vi and an acid-bleeding Xenomorph gives the edge to our blue-skinned pals, who would have no trouble ripping the ugly extraterrestrial in twain. However, they'd quickly discover that such dismemberment comes at an acid-soaked price. For that reason, close quarters combat with an Alien is off the table, leaving the Na'vi to rely on long-range weapons. Their primitive weaponry would need a marine-based upgrade of some kind in order to adequately square off against the Aliens, but assuming they can overcome that obstacle, they'd have a good fighting chance. Still, I think that it's a pretty even match-up.
While not a Cameron creature, it's impossible to imagine a Na'vi going up against the Xenomorphs of "Aliens" and then subsequently ignore the Aliens' greatest enemies, the Predators. Sadly, this is a battle that the Na'vi cannot win. At the very least, they would have a very difficult fight ahead of them. Predator technology easily outclasses the Na'vi, and both sets of alien races are equally cunning. Na'vi have size and speed on their side, but the Predators can easily evade that by resorting to invisibility. If I had a gun to my head and had to choose between the two, I'd give this one to the Predator.
You might think that the ocean-dwelling creatures from "The Abyss" are a peaceful, non-confrontational race, but then you'd be forgetting the fact that they can cause hurricanes and tsunamis and other aquatic-based disasters. If the NTIs could lure the Na'vi out into open water, this wouldn't even be a question. In any other circumstance, I'd be tempted to give this one to the Na'vi. To be fair though, we haven't seen much of the NTIs, so it's a hard battle to judge. Instinct says the Na'vi take it, though.
Na'vi versus Jack Dawson
Are you kidding me? Nothing beats Leonardo DiCaprio. Nothing.
Tell us how you think the Na'vi would fare against Cameron's other creatures — and the Predators, of course — in the comments or on Twitter!

Doing Good After An M.B.A.
In Liberia, sexual assault has almost become an accepted part of life for women and children. The problem largely stems from the 14-year civil war that ended in 2003. Since then, such abuses –and curbing them—have become an important cause for the United Nations.
Behind efforts to help enforce policies on sexual abuse and exploitation for the United Nation's Liberia office is Michael Musili Nzau. A native Kenyan, Mr. Nzau who began working for the U.N. shortly after getting his M.B.A. from Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School in Belgium last summer, is no novice to working in the relief sector. Before beginning his year-long M.B.A. studies, Mr. Nzau started an organization in Kenya to help local entrepreneurs understand what goes into creating and sustaining a business.
The Journal Report
- No Foot in the Door
- Help Wanted
- Partly Cloudy
- Chart: Sortable rankings table
- See the complete Education for Executives report.
Unlike most business school-hopefuls, he never intented to put in his time in the corporate world. Instead Mr. Nzau, 31, was one of five students who received a fill scholarship to Vlerick as a Kofi Annan Fellow in 2007; he says he was set on continuing relief work in Kenya. "I didn't want to get an M.BA. so I could join McKinsey," says Mr. Nzau. "My mind was made up on where I wanted to go."
But after graduating in 2008, he found himself in Liberia, where he helps organizations deal with sexual exploitation and provides training and prevention resources. His six-person staff hails from five countries, but coming from a 45-person M.B.A. class comprised of people from 31 nationalities, the international dynamic is nothing new to him. While the M.B.A. experience didn't introduce him to a new line of work, Mr. Nzau says it gave him experience working in a multinational environment, skills he often utilizes when gathered around a table with his colleagues--who come from Liberia, Greece, Norway, and Sri Lanka. "Before you can make a decision, we all have to bring our backgrounds into consideration," says Mr. Nzau.
Mr. Nzau is still involved in relief efforts in Kenya, too. This January he plans to launch a youth enterprise center in Nairobi to help young people interested in starting their own businesses get the proper training. In partnership with The Delaware Kenya Association, the Kabete Youth Entrepreneurship Center, plans to host a business plan competition to help bring entrepreneurship to local schools, provide incubation to a handful of young entrepreneurs in need of office space, and host an entrepreneurial week where business leaders in the area will network with entrepreneurs.
"The youth out there in the communities want to do business but they do not have the connections to do what they want," he says.

Skylar, I have the sister to your Raleigh Marathon, although I can not tell that yours has the triple chainring (can't see in the photo). Mine came with indexed 3 x 6 shifting, barends, and has served me well as my touring bike that I store in IL for use when I visit from NM. I love the way the bike feels even tho it is somewhat heavier than my first and second string touring bikes. Ride it well. tom
Just picked up a 1986 Trek 760 Pro Series for $50.
I plan to restore it for my brother so he can ride with us too, either that or I'll just give him the $ and keep it for me
Look clipless pedals, Cinelli stem, Bertolli bars, Suntour Superbe Pro and DiaCompe Royal Compe brakes, Selle Condor saddle, Matrix rims, Specialized hubs,
It's dirty, was laid down at some point and needs some attention... everywhere. Custom paint nicks and rust spots will be attacked first.
I wish it was cheaper but around here anything under $120 is gone ASAFP!
I think it has good bones... if not a terrible color scheme.

I know people get these amazing deals on bikes but how much cheaper than $50 could anyone expect. You can't buy a saddle for that. Or decent tires, or ... $50 is a steal! Anything that's steel goes on craigslist as a potential "fixie" and somehow that's supposed to justify a price range $200-300.
A bit "tongue in cheek" about wanting it cheaper, but don't we all?
My blog about rides, bikes and builds: ridesgoneby.blogspot.com
Nice Trek!
Paid about $15.00 for a Nishiki Sport today from Goodwill. Sure it's nothing fancy (Hi-10), but I love the look of the lugs and it's got suntour and diacomp. Wheels are good and the tires might even be ok to ride. At first glance I thought they were dry rot, but apon closer inspection they seem to have spots of white paint, drywall dust or bird poop. I'll know more when I tear into it. Looks like bike season has just begun in earnest for me here in Michigan.
1985 Kuwahara SS
198X Nishiki Tri-A
And I've built up & given away eight bikes to date.

$1 Phillips NOS front brake cable/housing in package
$1 Crown NOS Sturmey Archer replacement cable/housing in package
$2 Triumph 3-speed fenders/chain guard in rough cosmetic shape but better than what I have
$20 Total, plus lots of really cool sights
Not a keeper (too small) but a neat looking bike. It is a 1981 Fuji Royale 12-speed mixte.
441 Tubing, Suntour shifters & derailleurs (rear derailleur is marked "FUJI VX" which is kind of cool). Sugino cranks.
Serial number is FK000093, the 93rd bike built in November 1980 (for 1981 model year) if I read the Fuji Serial Number thread correctly. From the Fuji 1981 catalog.
I was riding my Raleigh DL-1 to the store and on the way back I noticed the Fuji sitting with the trash in front of a house. I looked it over a little and decided to take it. At that moment a teenager walked up to the house. I asked, "You live here?"
He said, "Yeah."
"You mind if I take your bike?"
"Go for it. The back tire is no good..."
So I walked the Raleigh the rest of the way home (2 blocks) and carried the Fuji.
I just found this Supercycle lol, it aint much, it has some broken parts but aint in that bad of shape, looks like a joy rider bicycle, the good news is Tomorow Theres a huge bike sale going on, used bikes galore! I think like 5$ to 100$ princes and theres proberly gonna be over 800 to pick from, I so can't wait lol

So yesterday I scored a Fuji Royale Mixte off the side of the road. Today, I took the dented hood from the car my son wrecked last month over to the city dump. They told me to put it "over there" which happened to be appliances and other stuff with lots of metal. At the back of the pile was an old stovepipe Schwinn Varsity Sport in a 24" frame (I think- big enough to be a keeper). I walked back over to the guy I had talked to and asked if I could take it. He said people aren't supposed to take stuff from the dump but because I asked no nice... sure!
Serial No. CJ526842 = March 1973 according to OldRoads.com
Originally sold by Paramount Schwinn, Harvey, Illinois- a Chicago Schwinn from a Chicago area store!
Looks like everything is there, with some rust and a little cosmetic damage. I've never seen a Schwinn seat that old in condition that good.
That's two bikes in two days. Then again they seem to come in pairs for me.
I paid 10$ for this road bike today, it apears to be older but not to sure what brand it is because someone made a very bad choice to paint it without sanding the old paint or stripping, Also used that trauiler to get it home, paid 20$ for it, there sure was alot of bikes at that sale thing today but I wasn't first in line I was far back, this must of been dissliked because it's color, but i'll fix that! also more better pics of yesterdays curb find,

This '85ish Fuji Del Ray was actually a catch about 2 years ago; a minty fresh free roadside find with under 50 miles on it. I gave it to a friend to get into road biking, and he has since upgraded. It came home to me a few days ago with mostly fresh tires and new cables, and I sent it out this morning to another friend (for free of course). Hopefully, he rides it enough, upgrades to something, and it comes back to me in a year or so Who will get it next?

It was a short day for me on friday so I checked CL and found these listed. Now I wish I'd saved the ad, "on one the handle bar is bent and all the tires are flat. Bought new 3 +/- years ago and have been in storage since. $75 each $100 for the pair."
I know that recent bikesdirect/bike spectrum bikes aren't true C&V material, but how else is one to support their habits. The bent handle bar was a spun brake lever (fixed) and the flat tires are likely from sitting (aired up fine have to check them). They should be a quick flip after wheel truing, new bar tape and full tune up. I have a couple of freinds that might be interested, if not its back to the CL.

"change is the only constant"
That Oryx frame looks oddly familiar. Is it used by another manufacturer for a brand of better repute?
If it were me, I'd strip them for their components and sell the frames cheap on the 'bay. But then again I actively need components and you may not.
Nice finds.

(who steals a chainguard?! crazy.)
The bikes are flowing in Thunder Bay and about a half dozen made it to The Old Shed this week, the most notable of which would be either a near mint pastel yellow Peugeot "Sprint" or a very unusual dark green chrome moly Cambio Rino. A near mint 48cm Apollo and an equally nice 48cm Sekine SHC270 also joined ranks. To that add a late sixties Bottecchia, a CCM "Grand Tourisimo" and a gorgeous mid seventies Sekine Mixte that I have had my eye on for a couple of years now. Finally, a TI Raleigh "Professional" showed up with a Campy headset and bottom bracket still mounted, not to mention a set of black Weinmann side pull brakes. Sadly, the seat tube is toast on the Raleigh and will have to be replaced. But the guy who damaged the tube got the seat post out - no matter what! A Favorit made its way into the back yard but did not get into The Old Shed - just too junky so back it went.
Though the Raleigh "Pro" was damaged, it came with two sets of wheels which yielded a set of Campy High Flange hubs and skewers as well as a low flange set. The wheels were no good but the hubs, were just great.
Though the Sekine Mixte is a nice enough bicycle, it is of interest to me for picture taking only so that I can add a section about Sekine Mixte bicycles to MY "TEN SPEEDS". After that the Sekine Mixte and everything else just mentioned is looking for new homes.
Next week, if all goes well, I should have a shot at a custom make Gardin frame set that came with a Campy Anniversary grouppo installed but has long since been removed. Additionally, I will be speaking with a lady who owns a mint Cyclops - jet black with yellow art - about purchasing it on Wednesday night at a special Bicycles for Humanity - Thunder Bay presentation. My guess is that I will not be able to afford the Cyclops but it is a gorgeous bicycle.
No time to work on any of this week's finds but took a moment to take a couple of pictures now that I am getting the hang of this forum thing.
I dumpster dove these this morning, the mongoose is going to donate a rear end for a long bike project then get tossed. The other is a nice Nishiki Olympic 12 that is too big but has some decent components, so I will part it out. I like the drilled Sugino rings and symmetrical shifters.

The Battle of Waterloo was fought as part of the Napoleonic Wars. Waterloo was a village to the south of Brussels in Belgium. Here, Napoleon Bonaparte's French soldiers met the armies of Britain and Prussia. The battle took place on June 18, 1815, and it was Napoleon's last stand.
- Battle of Waterloo - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
On June 18, 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte received a crushing military defeat on the fields near the Belgian village of Waterloo, about 9 miles (14 kilometers) south of Brussels. Napoleon's defeat ended 23 years of recurrent warfare between France and the other powers of Europe. The battle between Napoleon's forces, which included 72,000 troops, and a combined Allied army of 113,000 British, Dutch, Belgian, and Prussian troops was fought so hard that either side might have won. A heavy rain the evening before the battle forced Napoleon to delay his attack. The delay cost him the battle.

No, not the town's reaction, but the audacity, duplicity, and deviousness of federal government officials conniving to (a) allow the entry of tens of thousands of unaccompanied minor children into the U.S.; (b) not returning them to their homeland; and (c) secretly dumping them all over the country. That includes setting them up in shelters as in this case, or merely busing them to Phoenix and pushing them off the bus on a street corner.
We have truly become a lawless country, and the worst part is that the government officials are the ones ignoring the laws!

It's not that the Obama administration thinks we are stupid or not. They don't care what we think. The arrogance of Democrats, and this administration in particular is such that they are close to being no better than the leaders of the countries these people are fleeing from.
This is a classic example of why many in the center and on the right of American politics complain about the federal government getting to big. What surprised me is that any government officials even showed up to appologize at all. I wonder how many other towns in America have this going on and the people are not aware of it. Better check all the abandoned buildings in your neighborhood. You might be surprised who you find there.
