They aren't making any more spots like this one. The classic beach house is between a tidal pond and the most beautiful beach on the island. It is a short walk to the ferry dock and town, with restaurants and shops. Recreated from a former surf shop, Claudia's Surf City, the downstairs is a rustic open kitchen/living/dining area that opens out onto covered porch and decks with water views all around.
Upstairs the master bedroom and en suite bath look out to sea. Two other cozy bedrooms, one with a full-sized bed and the other with twin beds, share a separate bath with clawfoot tub. Grounds are complete with lily pond, lawns for bocce, picnic table, water toys, goldfinches and outdoor shower.
No TV! Laze in hammocks indoors or out and rediscover peace and love. Sleep to the sound of the waves.

A former journalist (People, Life) and now vacation rental owner on Block Island, once known as Claudia's Island, Claudia Glenn Dowling seldom travels without a truckload of substandard chairs. Google me at Claudia's Surf City or under my name.
The Owner purchased this cottage in 1980
I ran a surf shop, Claudia's Surf City, in the summer, but I realized that I could make more money renting houses than surfboards. With my brother, a skilled carpenter, I built the surf shop out, purposely putting in amenities like lavish bathrooms and driftwood stair railings. The first season, 2000, was a great success. The next year, we added porches. We have continued to improve Claudia's Surf City every year while retaining its quirky quality. It is now the sine qua non of a classic beach house.
I (we) LOVED our stay at Claudia's Surf City. This is our second time staying and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The house is adorable and the views are breathtaking. It has something to offer everyone. Truly - heaps of books, a great record collection, hammocks, bocce, insane views, best outdoor shower ever - what more could we want? The wrap around porch was perfect for eating, relaxing, and sorting whatever rocks/shells the kids collected that day. I cannot say enough about the outdoor shower. Loved it so much I showered during a rain storm. The location of the house is close to perfect. Our family (twins-4, daughter-5 and a big super mutt) spent most of our time walking to town and to the beach. Claudia was so great with us and was more than accommodating. Thank you for providing a such a wonderful getaway home!
My family (son-27, daughter-24) and I had a blissful Labor Day week vacation at this funky but totally updated home. We have been going to Block since they were born but never stayed right on the beach and so close to town. It was a wonderful experience and thinking back would have been equally ideal when they were little - walking across the street to the beach rather than loading up the car is so easy. The views from every room and the porches are exquisite; in fact one picture I took from the master bedroom will be the subject of my next 24x36 oil painting!
We went to Block island with ages ranging from 7 months to 78 years and 2 dogs 70 lbs and 15 lbs and everyone enjoyed their stay. We had great weather and walked to the beach and into town everyday. The hiking was great for the dog and toddler too. We grilled and enjoyed our family dinners it was a great relaxing getaway for all.

We had a most enjoyable week at Claudia's Surf City. The location is ideal: walk to town, walk across street to Crescent Beach. We had beautiful weather and were able to hike through Rodman's Hollow to Snake Hole and also along Clayhead. The house is casual and uniquely funky with the most outrageous views from every window and a porch that wraps around the house & is gateable to keep children and dogs in. Had a marvelous dinner at Winfield's and also at The Surf.Claudia was very helpful and accomodating!
Our 15th consecutive year spending a week on Block Island and we finally got it right! Perfect location, perfect amount of space and absolutely beyond perfect ambiance! Thank you, Claudia, for creating this enchanting place - books, music, hammocks, views, killer kitchen... Couldn't ask for anything more! Oh.. Our two teenaged boys didn't even miss TV... What a blessing! Owner, Claudia, was very helpful with questions prior to our trip and was available throughout the week via email and possible phone (though that's not my thing), in case there were any issues (which there were not). If you are able to stay at Claudia's Surf City, please be sure to check out Andy's Way, Mansion Beach and of course the Salt Pond - kayaks and paddle boards for rent by Paynes Killer Donuts. Dinner at The Beachead - just down Corn Neck Road is a must! I would recommend this property to all my relatives, friends, acquaintances (but I may not, because I don't want to lose my week!!). We just hope to meet Claudia someday, because she must be the coolest, hippest, nicest person ever! Thanks for the great memories! :).

Blake Shelton Lashes Out in 'She's Got a Way With Words' [Listen]
Lyrics to a new Blake Shelton song called "She's Got a Way With Words" have fans talking.
Lyrics to a new Blake Shelton song called "She's Got a Way With Words" have fans talking.
Josh Abbott's road-worn vocals mixed with Carly Pearce's expressive range make "Wasn't That Drunk" an intoxicating harmony you may not have ordered if you saw it only on paper.
Maren Morris is giving fans a preview of her forthcoming album Hero with a new song called "Rich."
Craig Morgan's vocals soar once again with "I'll Be Home Soon," the new single from his A Whole Lot More To Me album. The midtempo country love song finds the singer building toward a cathartic chorus with each verse. It's a formula that's worked well for him.
"Undone" is Joe Nichols looking you straight in the eye before he leans in to whisper things meant to buckle your knees.
"Without a Fight," Brad Paisley's new duet with Demi Lovato, proves that sexy is the new black. Paisley's guitar-driven love song finds him between tangled sheets, speaking of his most carnal desires.
Merle Haggard's voice strains but remains resilient as he sings his final song, "Kern River Blues." The spirit of the Hag is still alive in this country ballad.
Brad Paisley has confirmed that Demi Lovato is his mystery collaborator on his new single, "Without a Fight." The song is expected to be released to country radio on Friday morning (May 13). It's the first single from his upcoming 11th studio album.
Jennifer Nettles remembers having just five minutes to convince Jennifer Lopez to sing on "My House," the last song on her new Playing With Fire album. Now she has a new friend, collaborator and recipe for fried chicken.
Josh Turner's "Hometown Girl" is his first single in 18 months but fans can rest easy knowing that time has changed very little. The country baritone is still relying on familiar topics and his signature voice. He's still the same Josh Turner.

Regional companies more likely to fail
Relevant offers
Fewer Wellington companies are falling over than a year ago.
But small operators in centres including Whanganui, Palmerston North and New Plymouth are more likely to go out the back door, according to an insolvency expert.
Overall, the number of lower North Island companies facing insolvency has remained steady in the past 18 months, despite figures showing a decline nationally.
Courts of New Zealand statistics showed the number of insolvency cases filed in the High Court around the country had decreased 10 per cent in the year to December 2012, as the impact of the past recession waned.
That followed an 18 per cent decline for the year to June 2012.
In Wellington, the number of active insolvency proceedings had dropped about 19 per cent from June to December last year, from 72 to 58.
Deloitte recovery partner David Vance said in the past year or so, liquidations had remained relatively stable for the lower North Island.
"The numbers of liquidations that we are picking up is consistent with last year, although the numbers we're getting are less than they were two or three years ago," he said.
Vance said a growing trend had been in the number of out-of-town liquidations, as opposed to Wellington companies.
"One aspect we have noticed, probably in the last 12 months rather than more recently, is that we get quite a number of companies based outside Wellington.
"Whanganui, Palmerston North and New Plymouth are the three most common places we get appointed to be liquidators."
There were trends common to the cases, including an awful lot of small company liquidations, he said.
"People who you would often expect to be sole traders have started companies without the required knowledge and experience of what extra steps are necessary in trading in that format.
"Unfortunately, that often leads to them getting into problems or issues which they don't have the experience or knowledge to get out of."
Vance said the people responsible, the directors and shareholders of companies, had often experienced insolvency in the past.
A reluctance to take advice also significantly contributed to the level of loss incurred by all the stakeholders in a company, he said.
"Liquidations roll on in good times and bad. The good times just help cover up bad management and not only bad management but bad business ideas.
"In bad times they get flushed out a little bit quicker, but they always exist and so there will always be a certain base number of liquidations."
He personally believed it was too easy and too cheap to set up a company in New Zealand, compared with international economies.
"There is no driver's licence of what you need to do to run a company, there is no compulsory director's training, no minimum capital requirements.
"When people look around the business world they see companies and a lot of people, I believe, seem to think that is the only way to do it, without examining the extra complications which come with something like that."

Up until last year, enterprises that were looking into cloud services usually undertook a long-term pilot with one of the large cloud providers, running test and dev workloads in the cloud. With cloud's transition to mainstream adoption in 2015, and with enterprises migrating more and more workloads into the cloud and in between public and private environments, the single-provider approach must be revisited.

10 Hidden Easter Eggs in Superhero Movies
How is a superhero movie supposed to appease die-hard fans while appealing to a new audience? Easter eggs, and lots of them.
How is a superhero movie supposed to appease die-hard fans while appealing to a new audience? Easter eggs, and lots of them.
Painting up Easter Eggs is always fun, but what happens when you use Matlab and equations that spit out spirographic art? Some really awesome eggs.
It's almost second nature for sci-fi to be self-referential—not just to itself, but to the wider pantheon of shows and movies. Doctor Who is no stranger to these references, but last week's episode, "Face the Raven," had one that was typically Doctor Who: An Easter Egg, hidden inside another Easter Egg!
Hey, did you hear there's a new Star Wars movie coming out? In case you're unclear on the details, Google's new Search Easter Egg will help remind you.
I have a lot of sympathy for web designers and programmers. Although they slave away to create incredible software used by millions (or, at least, the good ones do), no-one ever really appreciates their work. Easter eggs are just a tiny portal into their world.
The Easter egg as a concept can be dated back to rich aristocrats hiding things inside priceless jewellry. But in the modern age, you're far more likely to encounter one when you Konami-code a website, or made some odd menu choices in a game.
Search Engine Land's Barry Schwartz just discovered a cheeky little Easter egg in the Google for iOS app: Drag the letters out of the Google banner and you can pinball them around your screen. Is it functional? No, but it's fun!
If you've got a lot of time to kill on this work-free Memorial Day, you can spend a good chunk of it over on Google Maps checking out this fun Easter Egg discovered by Michael Sippey. It turns out the shadow cast by the Washington Monument moves throughout the day, accurately reflecting the position of the sun in the…
The Fibonacci number (or sequence, or series) is the mathematical rule that defines the golden spiral, a beautiful growing pattern that appears in many places in nature. It also appears on YouTube when you search "Fibonacci," and it's just silly enough to make us smile.
Google is all about packing that holiday cheer into its services this year. First with its auto-snowy, auto-twinkly pictures, and now with Google Now Christmas carol karaoke. Just pull out your Android device, suggest "let's go caroling" and you'll be drowning in merriment before you can say "get behind me Santa."
From a young age I was introduced to what are still two of my favourite movie franchises of all time – Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I suppose it was inevitable, really. With parents who named me after a Doctor Who character, I would expect them to continue being awesome as I grew up.
So, Google's new Hangouts app keeps all of your chats in sync across all of your devices. Cool, right? But what if you're in a video call on your phone, and then open the same video call on your computer. Boop! Suddenly there's two of you, as I just discovered when chatting with my friend Bay.
Google is famous for the Easter eggs stashed in its products. What seems an ordinary interface reveals itself to be something else entirely with the right set of keystrokes. This newly discovered gem might be one of the most entertaining we've ever seen. Head over to Google Image Search and punch in a query for "atari…
If you go to the Google I/O 2013 homepage and punch in IIIOOIII on your keyboard, the I/O logo changes into an new logo formed by cats. There are 12 of these easter eggs in all, and Zak El Fassi figured them all out. Here they are, plus an explanation of how he solved a puzzle written in code.
Say what you will about the Chromebook Pixel's viability, but practical or not, it's got a hidden pocket of awesome hidden somewhere deep in its brain. And you can unlock it with the Konami Code.
Someone at Google must still be obsessed with Starcraft 2, because if you bring up the search engine and type in "zerg rush," a (very, very) Google-fied version of Starcraft 2 appears before your eyes.
Google seems to be trying its hand at a lot of things these days. And you can now add 'weather control experiments' to its list of success stories with the company's latest Easter Egg.
The Konami Code (if you don't know it, then shame on you!) has long been part of geek lore. But now it can be part of your work day too: Google has added a new, pranktastic easter egg to Docs.
A pornish cartoon. That's what the surprised astronauts from the Apollo 16 mission found while walking on the Moon. It was in their checklist—mounted on the forearm—but it wasn't the first time that happened:
The Konami code is a secret branding, a geek stigmata—all it takes is that one brief flash, and you're immediately recognized as one of US. Is it any surprise then, that if you enter that hallowed sequence on DP's new Pogue-o-Matic gadget finder, you get to watch him do a special trick?

Review: Why the Dalai Lama Matters: His Act of Truth as the Solution for China, Tibet, and the World
Professor Robert Thurman
The day I got this book, I headed over to one of my favorite coffee cafés for some lunch and to start reading. A patron walked by, noticed what I was reading, and said, "It's a sad comment on the world we live in when we need a book to tell us that." I agreed with him and we chatted briefly, then I returned to my book. Later, I reflected on it, and really began to delve into the meaning behind the title. Why does the Dalai Lama matter? For the past 40+ years, Professor Robert Thurman has enjoyed a personal friendship with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and the warmth that he feels for his friend shows in this book, and throughout the book, Prof. Thurman proceeds to answer that very question. Throughout the book, Thurman discusses His Holiness from a variety of perspectives: religious leader, politician, philosopher, and scientist to name but a few. He then goes on to illustrate how his commitment to nonviolence is the best, if not the only, real way to achieving the world we all claim to want. What I found particularly interesting is that Thurman acknowledges the abuses and atrocities committed on the Tibetan people but doesn't delve into any attempt to alienate the Chinese people or his reader. Instead he calls to China to lead the world towards that bright future by setting an example for the rest of us to follow by liberating Tibet and putting into place a five point plan for Tibet. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested not just in Buddhism or the Dalai Lama, but in how we as a species can best achieve world peace.
Professor Thurman will be in Boulder to talk and sign his book this Wednesday at the Boulder Theater. For information and tickets, click here.

Really enjoyed our overnight here. A couple small fenced in areas for the dogs was nice. Looks like a lot for kids to do as we saw a lot of them running around having fun. Everyone we talked to was in a good mood and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Makes for a fun place to stay.
Owners were very helpful and really wanted to make sure you were happy. Anytime we are in the area looking for an overnight, this will be the stop. Also can see doing a long weekend. It is about 250 miles from us but would be worth it if we can get the grand kids to come with. - Elkhounds

We always use it as an overniter and find it clean, easy in and out, and sites big enough for a big rig.
The pizza being made in office is handy when we don't feel like cooking or going into Des Moines.
Nice park. - peddy dick

Rate reflects KOA discount and was for a 30 amp full hookup site. We'll preface our comments by noting that our stay was for a night as we passed through the area, but over the Memorial Day weekend. The park was full, packed like sardines in a can. Adults walking around with open containers and kids everywhere. The middle row is the 30 amp row with the other rows mostly 50 amp sites and much more spacious than the 30 amp row. We took the 30 amp site as it was all that was available, and we were unable to locate anything else in the area. We had trouble navigating the roads with the escort due to other campers parking out on the roadways in the park. Our single slide almost touched the adjacent site's tow vehicle. The pool was wall to wall bodies and we couldn't imagine it possible to throw enough chlorine in to keep bacteria to safe levels. Purchased the park pizza for supper, inexpensive $12, but nothing to brag about. Tried the Sunday pancake breakfast plus coffee ($3.50 each) no sausage or bacon available, pancakes edible. Seems everyone had to have a campfire that night, smoke almost unbearable, our allergies complaining days later. Reminded me of the pollution in Bejing, China. This park is trying to be a destination park and would expect similar experiences to ours throughout the summer. Not a place for people like us that just want a clean, quiet, safe place to stop for a night along our travels. - Johnson's

Arrived during a heavy storm and found hook ups basically under water, looked at other sites to try and change but found the same, our main reason here was to visit the theme park so after the water soaked into the ground things worked out. Long pull thru but not real level, seems sites are getting upgraded to concrete but looks like it will take a while. Trolley to park was nice wristbands needed worn to ride trolly and enter the pool area. - DBLR

Nice campground next to amusement park. Easy to get to from interstate. Didn't make reservation early enough so had to take a 30 amp site. There is a tram to take you to the amusement park. Will stay here again when traveling in the area. We camped her in a motorhome. - Diplomat 07

This is mainly a work camping park during the spring, summer months. I am a work camper, but have camped here in the past. The park has been here since 1973. They are in the process of updating their sites with cement. There is a big amusement park next to the camp ground, and they have a Trolley to pick you up. There are about 100 sites for the daily use. - Joceil

Pull thrus for big rig not easy getting in. Or getting out. You also have to unhook tow. They charge a fee for credit card use. Trying to use the dump station, however people park their vehicles in the way, making a turn very hard without damaging your rig, or a big tree. - Sondkr

My husband and I stayed at Timberline Campground in Waukee IA in July 2016. The check-in process was quick and efficient, with a friendly staff person helping me. The park is very clean and the sites were large enough for our 34-foot fifth wheel, although they are a bit close together, but still maneuverable. We stayed on Lot 50, which is a pull-through site with a level gravel pad. We stayed here to be close to Raccoon River Sports Complex in Des Moines, which was only 15 minutes away. We would stay at Timberline again. - Krissy r

Picked this as just as a spot to get off the road 4th of July weekend, we had reservations in Colorado on the 5th.
Nice older park with mature trees - forget about using your satellite dish. Owners very nice and helpful. Trees are well trimmed and no interference with a big rig on the roads. Roads look tight coming in, but it is doable.
Hilly with narrow sites. Most sites are long enough, but RV's are very close side to side in most areas. Our site was wide open on the right side, probably five feet from the trailer on our left! Plenty of pull throughs.
This was one of the quieter places we have ever stayed! Even on a holiday weekend. Lots of families and kids, but not a lot of noise even during the day and dead quiet after 10 PM. Quite a few tent campers scattered through the park.
Unlike some other reviewers we did not hear anything other than a handful of pops from the skeet range.
Most sites have full hookups, we moved to one without sewer to try to get satellite to work, no luck. - Dennis M

Cutty's is a membership park, we are members again. We used to be members, but moved to another state. There are a lot of upgrades since we left. In the clubhouse there are new washers and dryers. They are upgrading the roads between campground sites. They have also upgraded the electricity. They now use smart cards to get into the park. The one negative thing about the park, to many golf carts. Cutty's is a great place for kids, there a lot of activities for the young ones during the summer. - Joceil
Jul 2013 - $10.00
Past reviews are pretty much current. The WIFI is very slow and only available at the clubhouse. Sites are gravel and need maintenance. The internal roads are dated and rough. Spaces are very tight. The campground is filled with many long term campers. I would stay at a near by COE CG before I would stay here in the future. My C to C Premium rate was $0.00 - A hitch and hop
Aug 2012 - $10.00
The rate was a Coast to Coast rate. This is an older, member owned park and as such is very well kept. The gravel interior roads are dusty but everyone we saw was considerate and drove slow. The on-site camping store had a lot of commonly needed parts on hand. The electrical system is new and offers 20/30/50A on each post. The only drawback for us was being at the end of the park beside I-80 so noise was loud. Next time we will ask to be in a back-in site away from the highway. We will camp here again. - geysergazer

One of the best laid out, cleanest parks we have ever stayed in. It is actually a reason to go back to Iowa. $30 is the best deal we've ever seen for a park of this quality.
Huge sites, vast grassy areas to walk dogs, wide paved streets, etc.
I'd give it a 10 if the WIFI was free (it is very strong) and if the utilities were positioned for motorhomes instead of 5th wheels.
We stayed in site C5, a pull through easily long enough for our 43' coach plus dolly plus minivan, but the utilities were in the back corner, so by the time I was fully in the site I had to run ~30' of cable and 25' of sewer hose. The site slope was such that the sewer would not drain by itself, either. Next time, we'll unload the dolly and put it and the car in front of the coach and the services will play much better.
There is no office. You have to call ahead for a reservation secured by a credit card. When you get there, you call the owner and she gives you very clear directions on how to reach your site. She charges the card and you leave whenever you are ready. - bobcovey

Reservations are required, as owners office / management is off site and not overly friendly. The residents are mostly seasonal horse track and casino employees. Well keep units and full, level concrete pads. Wifi additional cost and not mentioned for a one night stay. Our receipt was placed on the windshield wiper after we settled in. Full service at site and friendly neighbors. Very nice club house with laundry, exercise, kitchen, tvs and a basement storm shelter. Sites have easy access for big rigs. Sites are pretty close. Traveling through spent only one night. We would stay again. - Jeannie and Eddy

Reservations are needed as there is no office at this beautiful and uniquely designed RV park so call before 5pm as we did to determine availability. The park is in a very quiet location with spacious concrete sites and as website states, they prefer long term but have daily. Park is very clean and well maintained. Big rig friendly, great utilities, paved streets and concrete sites. Will definitely stay again when in the Des Moines area! - RJourney

We stayed at the fairgrounds for 20 nights, and we are glad we did. Cheaper than other local campgrounds. They were having trouble with the water in the areas with 50-amp sites so we stayed in a 30-amp site. It was chilly so didn't need to have both A/Cs running, so we were fine with that amperage. Quiet, except for train whistles a few times a day. Had 2-4 bars of AT&T cell service.
Ultimately - camping here out of the busy fair season...great! If a very big event or the fair was happening...I don't think you could pay me to stay here.
If the all the sites in a section are being utilized, it will be VERY tight and driving down the roads of the different sections may not be possible if you have a bigger rig. We have a 40' 5er and drove through other grass sites to get in and out of the spot we picked to avoid the steep entrance to section FE.
We parked at the end of the middle part of section FE. Very nice overlook of the city. Since there were only 2 other rigs in our section for the majority of the time there, we spread out a bit and parked our truck and SUV next to the 5er instead of in front or behind, so we were actually taking up 3 sites (that's how close these sites are). Site was pretty level; we did use one extra board under most of the jacks when leveling.
Be sure to call the day you're driving in to see which entrance of the fairgrounds is open. We went to the 'official' campground entrance according to the map on their website but it was LOCKED! Called the office and they said "oh yeah that's locked for safety, you have to come in another way." The entrance on Grand Avenue is pretty much always open day/night. If you're coming up from the south to Des Moines I would take the Hwy 5 bypass around town and come through Pleasant Hill instead of I-235.
They didn't mow around our site while we were there so the grass/weeds got pretty tall in some spots. I understand some folks get fussy about mowing around their RV, but we wish they would have. They might have if I asked them to. - FrozenWaters
Sep 2015 - $28.00
Stayed here 2 weekends. First weekend in section 2. Second weekend in section 11. Overall, a decent place to stay. Nice and quiet. Nothing special or fancy. Plenty of spaces to choose from due to it not being fair week. W/E/S all worked well. Decent access to I-235. Be careful of what section you stay in. Most section 2 sites were nice and level, and from what we saw, most of the 50amp sites were as well. However, Section 11 had, maybe, 1 spot level enough to accommodate our 28' motor-home. A previous comment mentioned ski slope, and section 11 would qualify.
The addition of WiFi would boost my rating, but there are no plans to add it any time soon. - BounderPounder
Sep 2015 - $28.00
This review is for off-season camping (non-fair dates). They don't take reservations, but Labor Day weekend was nearly empty. Even with 2,300 sites, it took over half an hour to find a suitable FHU, and we had to park the truck in an adjacent spot. As other reviewers noted, the terrain makes most sites undesirable if not downright unusable. It's like they had a contract to install a certain number, so they made them short, narrow and crammed in as many as possible - even if it meant putting some on a 40-degree slope. This wouldn't matter with so few RVs, except they tend to huddle together on the few patches of level ground. 50 amp sites don't have sewer.
A fair amount of train noise/whistles, but otherwise very quiet. Call for directions because the fairgrounds are a maze, the only campground signage was in front of a locked gate, and the campground office was not staffed. Nice hilltop views, but I expected better TV reception given the transmitters are only 14 miles away. Strong Verizon and AT&T signals. - TheRollingJones

The sites within Aster and Honeysuckle loops are all on packed gravel had very narrow interior streets, lots of trees and shrubs. Half of the Dogbone sites are on packed gravel, the rest of this loop are on concrete. Coneflower and Blazingstar loops had wide interior streets, few trees and shrubs and all of the sites were on concrete. The entire campground is on the reservation system. All sites are back-ins.
Most of the sites are not very level (including the ones that are on concrete). Water spigots are scattered throughout the campground. Water can also be obtained at the dump station. There are only two dump stations for the entire park. Every loop has a bath house with a couple of showers. You cannot regulate the water temperature and they have a push button that controls the amount of water coming out.
Most of the loops have a kid's play area in the center. Coneflower and Blazingstar loops have 50 amp electrical service, all of the other loops have 30 amp electrical service. Our voltage was good - hovering around 122 volts. The park was not filled so I don't know if the voltage would degrade. Verizon air card and cell phone was on extended network but we did not have a problem with them. Every site has a fire ring and a picnic table.
The Neal Smith bike trail runs right through the park. - adsaxs

This park is very nice, but it has some aging problems. The sights are gravel and mostly level. My wife and I have been coming here for about 10 years. Acorn is a alcohol free park. I talked to the ranger today and ask him why is Iowa's Army Corp parks behind as far as upgrading come pared to others that we have camped in, such as in Texas. He told me its a slow process getting money from the government. My wife and I like this park because its close to everything we see and do in Des Moines why we are here visiting. - Joceil

I did not stay in the campground, but because it does not have a previous review, this one is being posted. My comments are based on a detailed inspection of the facility. This is a nice Corp campground. It has trees that provide some shade for most sites, but they do not interfere with the sites or the paved access roads. There are only 33 RV sites, the rest are for tents. The separate tent only area is also nice. RV sites are gravel and will accommodate most sized rigs, but the bigger the RV the more front to back leveling will be required on about half of them. All sites are 30A service and only a selected few have water hook-ups. There are community faucets for filling holding tanks. Bathhouses were clean and centrally located. There is playground equipment for the kids. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings/grills. There is a small pond in the campground. This appears to be a very quiet place to stay. - RLM

Stayed 3 nights in 2 different sites due to availability. Sites in loop near spillway (50 amp / concrete pad) deserve a 7 rating. Easy access to and in the park with our oversized 40'+ Big Rig RV for this section; Wide pads make backing in easy. Sites in main campground loops (30 amp / gravel sites) deserve a 5 or lower rating. Sites in this section have railroad ties defining the sites and bordering each site's entrances making backing into the sites more difficult than it needs to be. High weeds growing through gravel at sites and our site was very unlevel. We would stay in the 50 amp loop again but not in the 30 amp section. - Snidely Whiplash

This is a beautiful park. The restrooms could use some work. The paint is peeling in the showers. Insect repellant is a must have, as the mosquitoes and other insects are great in number. The park has lots of shade. The fire ring has an adjustable grill, which was very nice for cooking. Bring your old tennis shoes or water shoes so you can walk in the creek off canyon road. It is great fun for the kids and nice to cool off in the summer. It is a bit of a hike down then up from the creek if the road is closed due to heavy rain. If the road is open, you can drive it and go over several bridges covered by water. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area. - Fam of 5

Park has lots of shades. Some sites are fairly level while others require boards or such for leveling. Also, what is not indicated anywhere and no one will tell you is, if there is much rain received, multiple sites flood. Bugs can be quite bad so bring bug spray. Bathrooms are in poor condition and not kept up at all. This is a very popular campground and the surroundings are pretty, its too bad that the facilities are not improved (though I have been told renovations are in the planning stages). I understand old, but not being cleaned properly with the amount of use the bath house receives is disgusting. There is a place to fill water and many sites have electric. The dump is near the entrance. We have camped here for many nights, due to location being close to family.
Nice for walking (spray for bugs). - JonesAussies

Warmun flood risk remainsWednesday November 21, 2012 - 14:18 EDT
Key areas of the Warmun community remain at risk of flooding again this wet season, despite a $75 million campaign to rebuild on higher ground.
Hundreds of people had to be evacuated about 18 months ago when record rainfall flooded the community.
Seventy-six houses have been rebuilt but some buildings like Disability House were refurbished in the flood prone low-lying areas.
Community CEO Ralph Addis says those in the flood plain will be protected in future by better emergency plans and building materials.
"If there is a flood to that level that the damage to the buildings will be less," he said.
"They've been built in say flood-proof materials which while there'll be some damage there won't be anything like what we had last time and there'll be emergency management planning around how to make sure people are safe."
He says low-lying areas will be watched closely.
"The main facility that's a key issue for us is the Disability House where there's three or four disabled people and staff that live there," he said.
"That's been refurbished where it is which did go under, so that's going to be the key focus in the event that there's a flood."

'A dystopian Romeo and Juliet story that deserves to be as massive as Twilight' Stylist
They say that the cure for love will make me happy and safe forever. And I've always believed them. Until now.
There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it.
But now love has been declared a dangerous disease.
Everyone who turns eighteen must be immunised with a procedure called the Cure. Lena Haloway is looking forward to being able to live the safe, predictable life the government claims the cure will bring. But meeting Alex, an enigmatic boy from the Wilds, might just make her question everything she's been raised to believe.

Passage of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 marked the first boost to the federal minimum wage since 1997. In July 2007, the federal minimum wage increased from $5.15 to $5.85 per hour. Additional raises took effect over the next two years: to $6.55 on July 24, 2008, and to $7.25 on July 24, 2009.
Many states have passed minimum wage laws of their own. Currently, more than half the states and the District of Columbia have a higher minimum wage than the federal. Where the state wage is higher, you must pay the state minimum rate. (You can access all the state minimum wage rates at www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/america.htm.)
Beginning Jan. 15, 2015, the DOL has increased the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour for workers on federal construction and service contracts.
In addition, some cities and municipalities have raised their minimum wages through so-called "living wage" laws, which establish higher minimum pay rates for businesse...(register to read more)

Kuril Trench, deep submarine depression in the western Pacific Ocean, situated on the east side of the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Kuril Islands, and Hokkaido island, Japan. Extending for about 1,800 miles (2,900 km) north-south, it has a maximum depth of 34,587 feet (10,542 metres) and covers a total area of 102,000 square miles (264,000 square km). The steep slopes of the trench are characterized in places by an intermediate bench, or series of steps or terraces, which are sometimes interpreted as the scarps of giant, gravitationally slumped sheets of rock. The Kuril Trench marks the beginning of a chain of oceanic trenches extending from the southwestern edge of the Bering Sea to the southern tip of the Philippine Trench. Such trenches mark the convergence and collision of the Pacific Plate with plates to the west.

Univ. Of Oregon Discloses Nike Contract Under Order From State
Published May 4, 2010
|Univ. Of Oregon Releases Copy Of New
Eight-Year Contract Extension With Nike
The Univ. of Oregon yesterday "complied with an order from the state attorney and released" a copy of its eight-year, $22.7M contract extension with Nike, a deal that "appears to be standard for a school of Oregon's size and with an athletic department of considerable stature," according to Rachel Bachman of the Portland OREGONIAN. The financial details of the longterm partnership "had been public in the past until the university refused to release them this spring." UO athletics more than a year ago "quietly extended their all-sports outfitting agreement with Nike through 2018." Terms of the new agreement are level with the Univ. of Nebraska's pact with adidas and exceed Indiana Univ.'s eight-year, $21M contract with adidas. The contract shows that Oregon athletics during the '09-10 academic year received more than $2M in "gear and $500,000 in cash from Nike -- increases over the previous agreement's" $1.5M in gear and $250,000 in cash. The university's athletics budget is $66M this year (Portland OREGONIAN, 5/4).
MAKING A LIST, CHECKING IT TWICE: CNBC's Jim Cramer last night analyzed Nike's stock during an episode of his "Mad Money" show. Wearing a Nike headband, T-shirt, shorts and sneakers, Cramer said despite being the "best footwear company on earth," Nike has "lagged" behind other shoe stocks. He recommended his viewers to buy Nike shares before tomorrow, as there is a "big analyst meeting at its investor day on Wednesday." Cramer: "I got to tell you, if history is any guide -- I mean, any guide at all -- this stock is a huge buy ahead of the meeting. ... I think this analyst day is going to be even more positive than past ones that have produced really fabulous profits." He pointed out the company's international business is "really driving growth" and will "be the focus" at the meeting. Cramer: "I think we're going to hear some incredibly bullish things … and we might hear about the huge catalyst that's coming from the World Cup" ("Mad Money," CNBC, 5/3).

Annette Bening Praises HFPA for Not Letting Protesters Spoil Golden Globes
Annette Bening has praised Golden Globes organizers for refusing to let anti-gay protesters spoil the ceremony, after a group demonstrated outside the venue on Sunday night, January 16. Members of the right-wing Westboro Baptist Church, known for taking an extreme stance against homosexuality, picketed the event at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles as part of an anti-gay protest.
Bosses at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), who organize the Golden Globes, made sure the demonstrators did not get near the star-studded show, and Bening, who stars as a lesbian mother in Globe-winning movie "The Kids Are All Right", admits she found the protests disturbing.
She tells the Hollywood Reporter, "That made me very sad. They may have had (The Kids Are All Right in mind). I think that gives us all the more reason to go to the Golden Globes, and for the HFPA to see beyond that, (not) caught up behind the narrow mindedness."

text: Home > Entertainment Daughter of Bruce Willis, Demi Moore gets community service Reuters Posted at Aug 01 2012 08:15 AM | Updated as of Aug 01 2012 04:15 PM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest NEW YORK - A judge on Tuesday agreed to dismiss charges of public drinking and carrying fake ID against Scout Willis, the daughter of actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, as long as she completes two days of community service. Willis, 21, did not appear in Manhattan Criminal Court with her lawyer, who formally agreed to the deal on her behalf. "It should be resolved as an ultimate dismissal and it will be," said Stacey Richman, who represented Willis, a student at Brown University. Willis was arrested in early June after she was spotted drinking a can of Pakistani beer at a subway station near Union Square in Manhattan. Willis, then 20, gave police a New York state identity card with the name of Katherine Kelly, according to court documents. She was charged with misdemeanor counts of second-degree criminal impersonation and consumption of alcohol in a public place.
