Today I finally got a chance to hear my call (the last time they said the system was not up yet)....after it was over, I asked the rude agent why more than half of it was missing...she said..oh it was too long..i just played then end!!! I said I want to hear the entire thing...like where I mentioned that the total credit for the purchase was going to be 9.00 and he said yes. He did not even mention it until after he got my debit card and address info...then he started his speech...but the recording was fuzzy and cutting off..and I am sure that after I had paid, my attention was probably lagging as well...He said that avlimil was not a contraceptive..and made it sound like the speech was for idiots so I yessed him a few times...I had thought that the care management was an option that you could choose or not choose and if you did choose it, then you would call the customer rep to cancel. The funny thing is, the original sales person gave me his name and extention if I wanted to order more, but yet there is no way to possibly reach him, even with his extention. He also told me to try one pill at a time, and to take the avlimil the following month, so I could see if either one of them works. SO if that were the case, why would I need a refill in one month..if I were not going to take it for two months? AND if that were the case...I sure would not have ordered two types of the pills...I was in shock to say the least when I called the bank to ask about something..and found out that my rent check bounced...which will be costing me 45.00 for bouncing a check..and 25.00 for a late fee, and 35.00 for the bank charge for bouncing it, and possible other charges that the management bank may charge my reality company, and now I have a bad mark on my rental policy, which may cause my lease not to be renewed next month.
So Berekeley has cost me at least 65.50+65.50+4.50+4.50+35.00+25.00+45.00=245.00. I only work part time and go to school full time...and this is horrible because I work on call and since that was money for my rent and phone bill...I wont be having a phone after next friday, so now my job is in jeopardy. I was under the impression that this was an option to either choose or not choose. I suppose after I made the payment, I didnt think they could add extra ongoing charges, and I still do not think that they are legally able to, which I mentioned to the agent, but it sounded like she was more amused and bored then anything, over my complaint. When I had called back to cancel option, I had to call several times since the wait exceeded 15 minutes the first two times. I was offered half of each charge back in refund..for a total of 70.00, however, I did not feel that this was right, and I would still be responsible for the bank charges.

Goat and mutton are rarely eaten except by Muslim Thais. Thai food was traditionally eaten with the right hand[19][20] while seated on mats or carpets on the floor, customs still found in the more traditional households.
About our cuisine
In his book The Principles of Thai Cookery, celebrity chef, writer and authority on Thai cuisine McDang wrote: "What is Thai food? Every country in the world has its own food profile. The Chinese also introduced the use of a wok for cooking, the technique of deep-frying and stir-frying dishes, several types of noodles, taochiao (fermented bean paste), soy sauces, and tofu.[13] The cuisines of India and Persia, brought first by traders, and later settlers from these regions, with their use of dried spices, gave rise to Thai adaptations and dishes such as kaeng kari (yellow curry)[14] and kaeng matsaman (massaman curry). They are tom yam goong (4th), pad thai (5th), som tam (6th), massaman curry (10th), green curry (19th), Thai fried rice (24th) and moo nam tok (36th). Many dishes that are now popular in Thailand were originally Chinese dishes. Traditionally, a meal would have at least five elements: a dip or relish for raw or cooked vegetables (khrueang chim) is the most crucial component of any Thai meal.[23][24] Khrueang chim, considered a building block of Thai food by Chef McDang, may come in the form of a spicy chili sauce or relish called nam phrik (made of raw or cooked chilies and other ingredients, which are then mashed together), or a type of dip enriched with coconut milk called lon.

Highlander: Endgame is an American fantasy film originally released on September 1, 2000. It is the fourth theatrical release in the Highlander film series, and it serves as a continuation of both the Highlander films and the Highlander television series. The film stars Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod, the lead character of the series, and Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, the lead character of the films.
In A.D. 1555, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) returns to his former home in Glenfinnan, Scotland, to save his mother from his former friend and village priest Jacob Kell (Bruce Payne). Kell executes Connor's mother for witchcraft. Connor kills both Kell and Kell's adopted father, Father Rainey, and sets Glenfinnan ablaze. Jacob Kell is reborn as an Immortal, and vows vengeance against Connor for Rainey's death. He spends the next four centuries killing people Connor cares about. Kell amasses great power by ignoring the rules of The Game; he recruits several lesser Immortals as disciples, who overpower other Immortals so Kell can take their heads. By the turn of the century, Kell has 661 Immortal kills (compared to 262 for Connor MacLeod, and 174 for Duncan MacLeod).
Ten years before the present-day events of the film, Kell orchestrates the death of Connor's adopted daughter Rachel Ellenstein. Heartbroken, Connor departs for The Sanctuary, where Immortals are under surveillance by a subgroup of Watchers to prevent The Prize from being won.
A decade later, Kell and his disciples attack the Sanctuary, and Connor is believed to have been beheaded along with the other Immortals there. Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), compelled by a vision he has of the slaughter, begins to investigate. Meanwhile, Mathew Hale, the watcher supervising the sanctuary, looks on at the carnage, and decides that they will now turn to "volunteers" to refill their test-subjects' numbers. Duncan goes to see Methos, who tells him about the Sanctuary. Duncan cannot believe that Connor would even go to such a place. He later leaves London for New York, where he goes to Connor's loft, which was destroyed in the explosion that killed Rachel. Sensing an Immortal, he turns to see Kate (Lisa Barbuscia), his wife from 200 years before. Then Kell's posse arrives, and fights Duncan (disregarding the rule of one-on-one combat). The fighting stops when Kell arrives, but Carlos shoots Duncan, who falls on a spike, killing him. Kell is furious with Carlos, and beheads him: as the quickening begins, a van drives up to where Duncan fell, and takes him away.
Later on, Duncan wakes up, only to realize that he has been taken by Watchers who want to keep him in the Sanctuary so that he does not win the Prize. He is later saved with the help of Methos and Joe. He discovers Connor was spared by Kell, so as to allow the evil Immortal to make Connor's life even more miserable. Kell wants to kill Duncan in order to torture Connor, and given the number of Quickenings he has received, this seems quite likely to occur. Additionally, Connor is too guilt-ridden by the deaths of all his loved ones to stand up to Kell by himself. Duncan later confronts Kate (now using the alias "Faith") at a fashion shoot, and asks her why she is with Kell. She tells him how much she hates the fact that she will never have children or grow old and die, and believes that Kell understands her pain. Duncan must earn her forgiveness, or face her as an embittered part of Kell's faction. Later on in his hotel room, Kate arrives after having a chat with Kell, and the two make love. Though it would appear that she has forgiven him, it is not the case, and she tells Duncan that she will never forgive him; Duncan tells her that it is never too late for redemption, and that he will wait, even if it takes years or centuries.
Ultimately, Kell executes his group in a mock Last Supper to gain their powers, including possibly Faith, and Connor convinces Duncan that Connor must allow himself to be beheaded in order for Duncan to have enough power to rival Kell. After an emotional good-bye, Duncan follows Connor's advice, and beheads his beloved clansman.
Soon after, Duncan and Kell engage in a final battle. At first, Kell easily overpowers Duncan, even when MacLeod attempts a supposedly-unbeatable sword move that Connor taught him. Just before Duncan's impending death at the hands of Kell, Connor's spirit helps give Duncan the strength to continue. Duncan then kills Kell by jumping over him and decapitating him as he turns around. Duncan absorbs all of Kell's massive power. He then goes to Glen Coe, Scotland to bury Connor next to Connor's first wife Heather.
Early drafts of the screenplay differed greatly from the final cut in several respects. The Kate character was originally named "Alexis"; most of the flashback scenes occurred in Shanghai instead of Ireland; Paris was the original location of Methos's home rather than London; Duncan MacLeod lived on his Parisian barge during the modern-day sequences; and Hugh Fitzcairn appeared during the Shanghai flashbacks. The titles of the various drafts included Highlander IV: The Immortals, Highlander: The Search for Connor, and Highlander: World Without End. Gregory Widen, writer of the original Highlander, worked on the early drafts and was in talks to direct the film. Widen had previously directed the film The Prophecy, which he also wrote. Portions of Widen's writing were used for Endgame, though he received only a "Characters Created By" credit.
Billy Idol, David Bowie and Jean-Claude Van Damme were considered for the role of Jacob Kell.
Lucy Lawless and Juliet Landau were considered for the role of Kate/Faith.
The film features several shots from the original Highlander. The first is a computer-altered and enhanced shot of Glenfinnan, which was originally the shot of Connor walking away from his village. The second is a shot of the Silvercup sign, pulled from the scene of the Kurgan taking Brenda to the building. And in the rooftop Quickening, two shots of Connor and Heather together are taken from the first film. Castle Stalker is seen briefly in the film during Connor's flashback scene. This building was also seen in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.[2]
Donnie Yen served as the film's martial arts choreographer and also played the role of Jin Ke, who was based on a real historical figure: Jing Ke, renowned for his failed assassination of the Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang. Hip-Hop producer Damon Dash makes an appearance as one of Jacob Kell's Immortal minions. Professional wrestler Adam Copeland, known as "Edge" in the World Wrestling Entertainment, makes a cameo appearance as Lachlan. A reference is made to Copeland's wrestling persona when Duncan says to Lachlan, "Looks like you've lost your edge, lad."
The movie was meant to act as a bridge between the Highlander television series and the spin-off series Highlander:The Raven that was continuing on TV back in 1999. But these plans started to go awry when "Raven" was cancelled due to low ratings and the change in syndication as well as production delays started occurring due to cast availability problems. Dimension Films, which took on the project as a way of invigorating the franchise, realized that its plans for the film were not going to meet expectations and scaled back on its release.
Filming began on October 22, 1999 and ended on March 7, 2000. Much of the bulk of filming happened in Romania which was opposed by the producers.
Endgame's theatrical distributor, Dimension Films, demanded that cuts be made to the film to give it a faster pace. The deleted footage contained exposition necessary to understanding the Highlander universe, resulting in a theatrical cut that was criticized for being incomprehensible to audiences unfamiliar with the franchise.[3][4][5] An extended cut with restored footage was later released on DVD. (See alternate versions below.)
Jacob Kell[edit]
In the earliest scripts of Highlander Endgame, the main antagonist was first introduced as an unnamed, powerful Immortal stalking Connor and killing his close friends to fulfil an unknown agenda. Later, the character's name was revealed to be 'Jacob Kase'. This was the name used throughout the original script. However, this was modified from Kase to Kell after comments that it sounded too phonetically similar to the previous Highlander III villain Kane. The resulting name (although not Scottish in origin) was used in the filming of the movie. Kell is portrayed initially as a crusader out to avenge the death of his mentor at Connor's hands. The struggle between Kell and Connor was to mirror to a certain extent the relationship between Kate and Duncan, respectively as well as explore the possibility of an evil antagonist with close ties to the clan MacLeod. Despite the changes between the script and movie, the actual Jacob Kell retained much of his personality—his metamorphosis from a reluctant enforcer of justice to a sadistic mad-dog killer played an important part in the film.
Jacob Kell's gang[edit]
Jin Ke[edit]
Portrayed by Donnie Yen
Jing Ke was a professional soldier serving the Chinese King (and later, Emperor) Qin Shi Huang and was charged to protect the workers who built the Great Wall of China from nomad attacks. A highly skilled unarmed fighter, Jin Ke's preferred weapon is a spear. Dissatisfied with the emperor and his bloody actions, he took part in a conspiracy to assassinate him. The conspiracy was discovered and all its members were killed, except Jin, who awakened as an Immortal. He thought this new life would enable him to amend his faults, so he decided to live honorably, defending the right causes and fighting evil. In 19th century China, he met Jacob Kell, who convinced him that honor existed only in victory. Swayed by Kell's words, Jin Ke chose to become the first of his followers. He was used as a backup plan when the remaining members of the gang failed to accomplish their mission. This was seen when the gang tried to kill Duncan MacLeod. After Winston, Cracker Bob, Carlos and Manny were unable to kill him, they stepped aside so that Ke could fight Duncan. However, Duncan was as strong as Ke and their fight was interrupted by Kell. He was the first member to be killed in the gang's "last supper," and the only one to raise a sword against his former leader. Despite this, Jacob Kell killed him effortlessly. Jin Ke appears to be a highly fictionalized version of Jing Ke, a wandering swordsman who failed to assassinate Qin Shi Huang.
"Cracker" Bob[edit]
Portrayed by Ian Paul Cassidy
"Cracker" Bob was owner of an explosive and eccentric personality. It is unknown where he originally came from or what his real name was. He met Immortal Jacob Kell in Georgia in 1926. Traveling through the South, Kell recognized Bob as a pre-Immortal. When Bob proposed to lead him to his next destination, Kell accepted, curious to see what the latter was preparing for him. At the city's exit, Bob tried to rob him, but Kell beat him easily. Amused, Kell decided to keep him close. Bob then became the second member of his group after Jin Ke. His weapon of choice became a heavy wooden club covered in spikes and he started to wear eccentric clothes (probably made by Faith, who was a fashion designer). He was the second member executed by Kell in the gang's "final supper". Before being beheaded, Bob could do nothing but smile at Kell, realising he and the other members had been tricked.
Portrayed by Oris Erhuero
Winston was born in Jamaica in 1834, and was raised by former slave parents. In 1865, he was witness to the brutal repression used by English troops to stop the Jamaican rebellion. He would see his parents die before his eyes. Insane with rage, he attacked the soldier responsible for their death and "died" from a bayonet through the heart. After becoming Immortal, he turned into a frightening adversary for the colonists. After the island's independence, he became a mercenary. In North Africa, during World War II, Winston met and joined Jacob Kell's gang. He later became the leader of a network of marijuana smugglers in New York, under Kell's command. In 1972, he discovered among the network's members an Immortal named Carlos. Carlos would also join the gang. Winston led the members on their missions. When they failed it was up to Jing Ke to finish the job, as seen in the attack on Duncan MacLeod, when Jing Ke had to intervene. He was the third member to be executed by Kell in their "last supper".
Carlos Jones[edit]
Portrayed by Damon Dash
Carlos was born a slave in South Carolina in 1789. He became Immortal after being lynched by a local vigilante group at the time of a slave rebellion. Carlos would then kill several slave owners and white racists. He would also attack Ku Klux Klan members. If by chance, he was "killed" doing the misdeeds, it would give him a certain pleasure to reappear in front of his killers and terrify them before killing them. He wasn't a big lover of swords preferring to use guns against other Immortals. In 1972, in New York, he was part of a marijuana smuggling network, led by Immortal Winston. This would lead him to Jacob Kell, with whom Winston was allied. The gang served his purpose of not having to fight with swords and within the gang he was safe from other Immortals. During the gang's attack against Duncan MacLeod, Carlos decided to shoot MacLeod. The impact hurled him through a nearby window, ultimately enabling him to escape from certain death. Displeased by the fact of having disobeyed his orders by using a gun, Kell taunted Carlos to attack him. Carlos attacked him and was beheaded within seconds.
Portrayed by Vernon Rieta
Manny was a young Hawaiian who in 1965 joined the United States Army during the Vietnam War. The young Private was terrified of being killed, unaware of the fact that he was a pre-Immortal. His commander, who was an Immortal, sensed that Manny was a pre-Immortal and tried to reassure him by saying that the bullets couldn't do anything to him. But Manny didn't believe him and was certain that his fate was to die in Vietnam. That is until, one day, his regiment was attacked by the Viet Cong. The Viet Cong artillery decimated all the troops. Amazed, Manny reawakened as an Immortal and was able to survive. Unfortunately, his commander, despite his immortality, was killed by the heavy artillery. He would later join Kell's gang, coming under Kell's charisma. He was a low-profile member within the gang, contrasting with his other team members Cracker Bob, Winston, and Carlos. He, too, was executed by Kell at their "last supper".
At the beginning of the movie, it is shown that Jacob Kell had killed 661 Immortals. After killing his five henchmen, this number goes up to 666.
Alternative versions[edit]
The DVD release features a 101-minute "producers' cut" which features improved visual effects, sound mixing, and color-timing, and restores numerous scenes of exposition intended to make the story more easily understandable for audiences unfamiliar with the Highlander franchise. The "producers' cut" includes the "Kate lives" ending and removes the line of dialogue in which Methos refers to the Sanctuary as holy ground, which was criticized by fans.[6]
The Region 1 (United States and Canada) DVD includes, as a bonus feature, a rough workprint cut of the film. The visual quality of the rough cut is rather poor, with unfinished special effects and a timecode visible at all times, and alternating between widescreen and full-screen. This cut features a subplot involving Connor giving a Christmas tree to an orphanage every Christmas, an activity picked up by Duncan after Connor's death. Kate does not appear in this version of the film at its conclusion, unlike the producers' cut included on the DVD. The rough cut also notably features an extended version of the "Last Supper" scene in which Jin Ke plunges his sword into a wall and beheads himself after realizing that he cannot beat Kell, thereby denying Kell the opportunity to kill him. In the other versions of the film, this scene was edited to make it appear that Kell beheads Jin Ke (off-screen) along with the rest of the group.
Producers cut[edit]
The producers of the film disagreed with Dimension Films over the running length and story structure of the film. They were unsatisfied with the theatrical cut, and upon its DVD release, they re-edited the film and added twelve minutes of new footage, which included:
- A new opening sequence, in which we see Duncan and Connor roaming the streets of New York and Duncan buying a hot dog. Connor tells Duncan that he has an errand to run, and leaves a concerned Duncan behind after telling him to "watch his back." The scene goes to Rachel walking towards the antiques store.
- The shots of the photographs with Rachel and Connor in them are not in the DVD cut. Instead we see Rachel enter the store, go to the loft and find a TV playing a video of herself and Connor at various points of her life. The phone rings and when she answers, the store explodes just as Connor walks up to it.
- The DVD cut has Duncan walking past a payphone on his way to Methos. He answers the phone and a woman (later revealed as Faith) tells him, "Whatever you fear about Connor MacLeod, fear the worst." She says that she is a friend and hangs up. As Duncan walks on, we see a watcher named Matthew spying on Duncan from a cafe saying into his cellphone, "He's on the move."
- During the scene where Duncan is at Connor's destroyed loft, the posse enter and Winston says, "It's time to show our Immortal brother a thing or two." Cracker Bob has more of an entrance. We see him crash in on his motorcycle swings his bat and says, "Someone order a club sandwich?" Duncan mocks his outfit and Bob complains to Faith.
- A Flashback to Kate and Duncan's wedding is re-edited. We see Duncan sitting at the table with Kate, and one of their friends gets drunk and collapses while urging the two to kiss. They do, then we see Duncan, Kate and their wedding guest dancing. From there, we see Connor walking through the door and embracing Duncan.
- After Duncan and Faith separate at the studio (the fashion show scene), we see them roaming the streets. Faith goes to Kell's temple, then her apartment. Inside, we see Kell waiting for her. The dialogue makes it clear that they have a sexual relationship and Kell suspects that she may turn over to Duncan's side. We go from this scene to Faith walking about the streets of New York and then entering Duncan's hotel room where they have an intimate moment.
- The fight scene between Duncan and Kell is extended.
- We see a scene where Duncan is bandaging a leg wound and taking off his coat. The watcher Matthew is pointing a rifle at him. "Just watching," someone says. Matthew turns and Joe is standing behind him. Matthew raises his rifle at Joe, but Joe shoots him with a revolver. Matthew dies.
- Duncan's face morphing into Connor's, and back, a few times is reduced in their visibility and intensity.
Among other changes was the edited blurring of a large JVC billboard that was prominently featured during Connor's death scene in the theatrical cut.
Theatrical trailer[edit]
The trailers for the film feature several shots showing Kell using mystical abilities (such as stopping a sword in midair with some sort of force field, cloning himself and holding an orb with Connor's screaming head inside of it). Also, Connor and Duncan are shown emerging from some sort of portal. None of this footage made it into any released version of the film, and the footage is only seen in the trailer. No explanation for the nature of these scenes has ever been willingly released by the producers or film studio, although it has since been revealed that these shots were never intended for inclusion in any finished cut of the movie — they were shot exclusively for its trailer, instead. No mention of Kell's magical abilities exists in the online version of an early screenplay.
Critical response[edit]
Critical reaction to Highlander: Endgame has been negative. It holds an 11% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 53 reviews, higher than Highlander 2: The Quickening (0%) and Highlander: The Final Dimension (5%),[7] and a score of 21 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 16 reviews.[8]
Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times gave Endgame a mildly positive review, saying: "It's nice to see mindless violence back in a B picture, where it belongs, and the swordplay is impressive. When [the movie] sticks to the hand-to-hand battles and doesn't try to offer deeper thoughts on the life of an immortal, it works on its own terms."[9] IGN gave Endgame a score of 8 out of 10, saying that "fans will be pleased," adding: "Endgame proves to be both true to the spirit of the first film and the television series, [it has] a solid story to tell, [and it] features the best fight sequences of the series."[10]
Andrew O'Hehir of Salon.com said, "Personally, I enjoyed it about the way I enjoyed the Mortal Kombat movies, meaning that its genuine fun and its unintentionally ridiculous moments are roughly in balance."[11] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly remarked: "[Fans] will be thrilled that Connor MacLeod and his fellow clansman Duncan MacLeod engage in a vein-popping showdown to see which immortal will bump off the other, thereby achieving a quickening of multiorgasmic proportions. Those who aren't in the cult of this popular genre fantasy not only won't understand what the previous sentence is about, but may also wonder what's so great about perpetual life if it entails shlepping from one badly lit, cheesily art-directed, peat bog-colored century to another, spouting hollow dialogue."[5]
Travis Eddings of Film Threat gave the film one half star out of five, saying: "After viewing Highlander: Endgame, it's obvious that Aarniokoski has no idea how to make a film. ... The only reason why this film earns one-half of a star instead of zero is due to some unintended laughs. It's funny to see what passes as acting in this movie."[12] James Brundage of FilmCritic.com gave the film one and half stars out of five, saying: "Highlander: Endgame possesses all of the elements of a straight-to-video action movie. Cheap special effects that look cool, weak characters that still pull heartstrings, and a bunch of actors no one really knows unless you have seen this or that obscure flick. And, taking that view, one wonders why the hell I even had to watch Highlander: Endgame in theatres."[13]
Carlo Cavagna of About Film called the film "a disaster," adding: "The plot and the characters' motivations are nonsense. Lambert's character has nowhere to go, and his once-magnetic glower is tired and worn. Several opportunities for spectacular action are squandered because the movie's villain has a tendency to execute summarily his own henchmen. Paul's modicum of charisma, director Douglas Aarniokoski's broad panoramas that recall the original Highlander, and Lambert's amusing skirmishes with a Scottish accent are not enough to provide any redeeming value.[14]
Box office[edit]
The film was not a financial success, earning only US$15 million against its $25 million production budget. At the North American box office, the film opened at #5, grossing $6,223,330 in its opening weekend. It went on to gross $12,811,858 domestically and gather $3,031,750 from international markets for a worldwide total of $15,843,608.[1][15]

We boondocked 2 nights at Serrano Campgrounds.
The campground was full and there were a lot of families with small children camping and having a good time. Although the campgrounds are quite beautiful with abundant trees and scenery, we found the sites to be too close for comfort. Additionally, the campground was very smoky from campfires late into the night and early morning probably due to the nature of the sites being so close together and the younger crowds that stay up late to party.
There are sites with hookups but as this is the closest campground to Big Bear Lake, they were all taken. We walked the park and found the hookup sites seemed to be about the same size as the tent sites.
We peeked inside the bathhouses and they have private showers with locking doors, roomy enough with an area for changing too.
I would definitely suggest this park to younger families with children or college kids, however, we will probably not return to this park because we appreciate a little more solitude and space while camping. - ftrrvr_684

We camped here for two days, spot #42. The park is clean, quiet and park personnel friendly and helpful. The sites are very nice, some are sloped though. Restrooms/showers clean. The roads throughout the park are narrow. Walk to the lake is probably a half mile. There is a small convenience store close by. Bike/walking path runs through the park. Using your Federal Senior Pass card will get you a discounted rate. - User1835

Be aware, Rules at this campground ARE NOT enforced as stated in the park handouts! Quiet hours are not enforced. Too bad pet owners DO NOT pick up after their animals, leaving poop behind on sites. There should be a limit to number of animals per site just like number of people per site (4 large barking dogs per site is absurd). People are so rude and inconsiderate, truly amazing, it can ruin your entire trip. Sites are close. Normally a nice park, but weekend visitors are out of control and think they are only ones around! - nmccaleb

They allow pets, but have absolutely zero amenities for pets. There is no place for a dog to go to the bathroom, no shrubs, no grass, no common area, no pet area - nothing, not even an open area anywhere! Just paved roads and gravel sites. Considering that just about every RV has at least 1 dog and they have 100 sites, that's a lot of dogs with no place to "go". Also, the website claims full hook-ups, but by that they mean only water, electric, and sewer. There is no cable TV. When I asked about it, they said they had it 8 years ago, but it got to below zero degrees and that caused a problem that they haven't been able to fix yet?!? There is WiFi, but it is pretty slow. The site we have is very small, we have a 28' travel trailer and our truck has to be parked sticking out into the road. The site is all gravel with a tree between most sites and a picnic table. The sites do seem to be fairly level, I just wish there was a place to take my dogs, even an open common area somewhere instead of just wall to wall campsites.
I would have enjoyed our trip much more if there was cable TV so that we could have watched the Olympics. The camper next to us pulled in and asked me where to hook up his cable TV - so we aren't the only ones disappointed about that. The lack of anywhere to take the dog to potty is very disturbing and an inconvenience several times a day. I wish they would change that. If they gave up one campsite and fenced it in as a dog area, that would make a big difference! - g & c on the road

Nice place to stay, when traveling around. Cold nights in the summer, warm days, perfect. All felt good, fishing right next to the RV (certain spots). Beautiful lake view, nice new restrooms, friendly people. - Dutch Robert

Nice RV park. We were on a non-waterfront site. It was quite small. Not enough room to put out our awning. The waterfront sites look much better. Note however, you cannot swim in the lake at the park. You cannot launch or beach a boat from your site at the park if you have a waterfront site. They have rules against bicycling by kids, but everyone does it anyway. If you are using a site, they give you 10% off marina services (boat rentals, etc). No fire pits at the sites. We couldn't have a fire anyway due to the red alert fire danger. If I went back I would try to get a waterfront site, but the temptation of the water and not being able to swim would probably be too much for the kids. Also Wi-Fi showed as three bars, but we were not able to connect to it. I didn't investigate the issue with the office because we didn't need it. We were in site 38. Not far from the office. - kirkcrawford

Quiet! Mostly long-termers and full-timers. Best park in Big Bear area for the money. Seven rating for narrow sites and no amenities. Great internet; best ever in an RV park. Lots of cable TV channels. Good dog walking nearby; a block from the lake. Utilities worked. A little tight backing in for 30'+ rigs. Restrooms and showers showed deferred cleaning. Easy drive up from Hwy 10 through Yucca Valley. - LoneWolf

Plus: Location is in a quiet neighborhood fairly close to the greater Big Bear community. Asphalt interior roads and parking pads. Mature pine trees scattered throughout. Picnic tables and fire rings. The few permanents appear clean and respectful. Large level sites - many are deep enough to accommodate the longest rigs and all are wide enough for slide outs. Extra space between sites (50 feet or so) adds a feeling of privacy. All hookups are easily accessed. Cable and Wi-Fi have good reception. Bathrooms are clean and relatively modern. No charge for using the shower. (Didn't see the laundry room if they have one) Minus: Older very plain RV park having no frills and no pull through sites. No grass or any attempts at landscaping. No office. The manager works out of her RV. Nothing of interest within walking distance. When asked, the manager had no maps of the area. The owner told me Hwy 18 up from Lucerne Valley had lots of switch backs but failed to tell me how Very Steep it is - up to 16% according to the California State Hwy sign. That is a factor that would prevent me from pulling my RV via that route again. Final analysis: Pine Tree RV Park is okay but if returning to the area I would check around to see what the competition had to offer. - JHarpJ

Amazing little park with only 20 sites but it is close to town with nice cable and as decent a Wi-Fi as you can get at an RV park. Paved sites but not perfectly level. Sites have nice new benches and free fire pits at the site. Easy walk to the lake. Quite a hidden gem. - BBlast

Beautiful location, right on Big Bear Lake. However, it's a few miles from town. Each space is privately owned, from basic to elaborately developed. Sites are large. We chose our site based on photos on the website, but we're disappointed to find out the BBQ was out of service, no cable or Internet available (unless you want to walk up to the office, get a password and use theirs). The owners of our site, #55, must of had a hard line sewer connection because the connection was located 12" above grade in a planter bed, making it difficult to drain my tanks. We would stay there again at a different site, only after verifying the all amenities are available and working. - Recycled

Expensive and exclusive site with entirely privately owned pitches, some of which are rented out by their owners. Very smart and well maintained with concrete pitches. Being privately owned the pitches were generally very well cared for, many with manicured gardens. Not proper camping really but very comfortable and a lovely pool. Felt like we had to be on our best behaviour! Stunning location next to the lake. Only irritation was lack of Wi-Fi. - NickG

We had a little difficulty at first but the staff was very helpful and helped us into our site in no time at all. We enjoyed being so close to the lake and they activities for all. We stayed for a week and will come back in the the spring. - fisage1235

This park is small and not all that nice for the area it is in. The spaces are not nearly the size that the web site states. Our site was supposed to be 45' and it was only about 20. We have a 37' 5th wheel and cold not fit into any of the spots. There is not much shade. We left without staying. - R&S

Okay, here is the 411 on this campground. First let me say the good. It was absolutely beautiful. The trees are huge. The air is clean. The camp host was the friendliest we have ever experienced. All of the sites are spread out, so it is nice and quiet. They allowed fires and they have bathrooms (no showers). In the actually town Green Valley which is about 1 mile from the campground, is a little lake. We rented a row boat and a paddle boat. They have a pay beach for swimming and picnics. The fishing there is great. They stocked it the day before we got there. Now the bad. We did not fit into our site #8. According to "Reserveamerica" we did, and our site was considered an RV site. Luckily they had 2 more sites to choose from. We tried site 24 and after 2 attempts decided to try site 25. No joke we tried 6 times. The camp host moved a wooden barrier for us and we finally made it in. I think we both have permanent sweat stains. This CG is not for anyone over 24 feet. According to the host, it was originally set up for tents only and now they let RV and TT in, but she said she has to turn people way because the internet is wrong on the site lengths. We would definitely recommend this campground, if you fit. - seeshell

RPI rate. I have to say this is an interesting RV Park. If RPI had a merit system which RV parks were rated, rather than the available amenities, Oak Glen Resort would be in trouble. It appears the park is having the dollars sucked out of it, and someone is letting it go. The employees are very accommodating, friendly and treat the guest very well. The shower/restroom was clean and looked nice. The individual sites, interior roads are in extremely poor condition. Pot holes, weeds, and just an unkempt appearance throughout the park. Which is split into 2 sections, one for weekend or temporary guest and one for the permanent residents. A sign saying private road end of the resort separates the 2 parks. The Parks web site said it has 182 campsites, which most are in the private residence area, which I have to admit looked like it might be better maintained, which doesn't say much. The web site also claims it has a restaurant, I didn't see it or any of the buildings that could hold it didn't look like a place I would eat at. The park is nestled in a nice mountainous area and they have a tiny village of a restaurant and kiosk, petting zoo, train and some craft stores, nice for the first time but nothing like Julian area, for those who know that area. Overall the employees were very good but I didn't leave anything there. Wi-Fi is available at $2 per night but I kept getting knocked off and had to re-login. And as an RPI guest which I had to pay an extra $4 service fee? don't understand that. - Zgork

The drive up the twisting mountain road may be scary for some people but it indicated that the place would definitely not be in an urban setting. Upon first look, the place looks very shabby. However, our site was level and very long with mountain and valley views. The trees in our area of the campground were small. In the other area the trees were full grown but this was an area for long term campers and looked like a poor mountain community with plywood add-on porches, etc. We enjoyed the calls of neighboring peacocks who came down from the woods in the day. The campground warned of bears, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes and snakes but we are used to many of these critters as our home is in the desert. There seemed to be several activities for kids including a pool that is open after Memorial Day. Our $13 fee was because we are AOR members. Wi-Fi was $2 a day extra. - oldbroad

Stayed here for a week we'll never be able to live again. What a dump! Restrooms and showers were filthy with beer cans on the ledges and smashed bugs on the walls. No one cleaned restrooms thoroughly the whole time we stayed. Many permanent residence live in the camp separated from visitor campers by a dry creek. You only met them when they came out at night to visit the camp's fulltime bar: watered down drinks and mystery meat burgers. Employees were new and didn't know too much about the area. Long mountain drive into town and civilization. We definitely will NOT stay here again. - BudNietz

This gem of a park is right in our neighborhood. We chose it as a close destination for our first "shake down" in our new motorhome. For an urban park, it has the appearance of a remote country location. Only sites closer to the entrance experiencing traffic noise remind you of the urban setting. It has lots of fully grown trees, acres of grass and large sites to enjoy. Day use area provides water park activities which is popular on weekends. Some sites are designed for multiple family gatherings. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay here. - Roger H.

Really liked this campground. It is convenient and not far off I-10. We stayed 4 days and it was great. Our campsite was level and we had no issues with our Internet (Verizon Jetpack) and DirecTV. It was a nice, quiet, well maintained campground with full hookups and 50 amp service. A little pricey but a nice stop in the middle of the summer. We will return in our 40' RV. - rwarner22

We stayed here in February for the first time. Space #13. The staff was very friendly, check in was easy and smooth. The Rangers leave at 6pm, but they give you a gate key for after hours access. We were about midway between the front of the park and the back. A little bit of road noise, but not too bad. Site was a single, level pull through. I say single as they have many sites that accommodate up to 3 RV's at a time, one right behind the other. Mainly for groups I think. Lots of trees in the older part of the CG up front, but not so much in the newer part of the campground in the rear. The magnificent views of the mountains in the back part of the CG makes up for the lack of shade. The park is bordered by private homes and a middle school. We did not hear a lot of noise from the school while we were there. The lakes looked really good, 2 fishing and one for swimming. The swimming lake was closed for the winter, but we will be back with the grandkids on the labor day weekend so that they can enjoy it. Sand beaches and a couple of nice looking waterslides. - tspin818

Great state campground! Super clean and nice. Only reason for the 9 is wi-fi and phone don't work well (Our wifi, campground does not offer) and no pull through sites. All sites are back in and noise does carry, so some groups can be loud. Also, they now charge $5 if you disconnect your tow car coming up the windy mountain roads, which is silly! It was clear it was our tow car, and we followed the RV in. Guess it's part of the way our state is trying to make up lost revenue. This books up fast as there are not a lot of electric sites. Sites are spacious and just plain nice! Thank you to the crew who really cares and takes care of it. - Dank

This is a wonderful campground! Just wish it had more spots for larger RVs with hookups too. It's very rustic, but nature at it's best. It's also very hard to get in, we certainly could use more RV available places to go around Lake Arrowhead area! It's well maintained and the staff has always been very friendly and helpful. - Dank

Good place to camp, very friendly staff, great affordable site, clean restrooms and showers. Only one draw back is the noise from highway 18, you can hear it especially in the morning. The high school is also located next to the campground so if they are playing football or if the band is practicing you hear that too. We enjoyed the football and the band! We will be back. The rangers told us that it is especially beautiful in the fall because the dogwood tree's are in bloom. - Kat1146

A beautiful location up in the mountains, but not for the faint-hearted or for vehicles prone to overheating. The drive entails 16 miles up a switchback road, precipitous drop-offs on one side. I drive a 40-foot rig, and some of the hairpin turns meant using both lanes!
Once there, the place is isolated, tranquil, beautiful. Our wooded campsite was isolated enough that we didn't see anybody except the park ranger soon after we arrived. Shower house was an easy 1/4 mile walk, nice hot showers, spacious shower stalls, everything clean.
Apart from the drive there, the only 2 negatives were that my GPS tried to take me in the back way, through a footpath (not the park's fault, but ended in a narrow cul-de-sac), then when we left, no exit signs! We were driving round loops not designed for a 40-foot RV for about 15 minutes till we found the camp host who gave us directions out. - RV-Roamer

We have stayed at this forested campground years ago and decided to come back for a visit. Our site was sloped quite a bit from back to front, which caused the front wheels of our MH to be off of the ground. The trees were very close and our front door opened between two trees, which made it kind of an obstacle course getting in and out of the door. All of the usable space was behind the rig. The 50 amp service worked well, and there was a water faucet close enough to the rig so I could get water at the site using about 75' of water hose. The big negative for me was the addition of the new "pay dump station" at the front entry. The price of the park was pricey in itself for the lack of full hook ups, but the new dump station charges a $10 per dump fee whether you are staying in the park or not. I stayed 5 days in the park, and brought a gray water tote to allow for the extended stay. I was shocked by $10 per use fee for registered campers. $2 to $3 would have been reasonable, but $10 is just ripping off the public. In my opinion, these unreasonably high fees will just encourage campers to illegally dump there gray water on the ground. I will not stay here again just because of the dump fee. - SargeW

This is a nice quiet campground nestled in the woods. All of the RV spaces are paved. However, they are not level. Our space was close to level side-to-side, but the tongue on the front of our trailer was almost on the ground to get it level front to back. There was not too much level ground even near the picnic table. Inconvenient, but not terrible. We still managed to enjoy the outdoors, and not all of the spaces were like that. The facility is well maintained and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. There is ample space between the sites, and the surrounding trees make each space seem very secluded. We had a spot with an electric hookup and there was water nearby. They also have a dump station at the checkout. Overall, we liked this place and we'll be back. Next time bringing more leveling blocks. - Linerider

@Mike_wike did you edit .htaccess file? if not so please once remove w3tc related lines.
Yes, I too suffer from the white screen of death. W3 Total Cache is like the hot girlfriend who is perfect in every way, except she has a small crack smoking problem.
Mitul, I clicked the link to your tutorial... but sadly, all I got was the white screen of death.
Our hosting Liquid Web is going through this now to figure out the best solution to this.
We uninstalled W3TC plugin with the extra files and it wound up taking our server out (and we've got a very beefy dedicated one). They've been getting complaints of the same nature all month so they're now working on a solution that we'll share on here.
Has anyone tried reverting to an earlier version to see if that solves the problem?
What sucks is that I paid the developer (or his employee) to configure W3TC to work perfectly with my site and it appears you have to pay again if this type of issue comes up. $400 was a lot for something that only worked for a few months. Never again.
Now Inmotion Hosting and Liquid Web are recommending people just uninstall W3 Total Cache completely and use WP Super Cache as that's not causing any issues whatsoever right now.
The blank page issue is really, really too bad... I tried quite a few caching plugins and none are as full-featured and comprehensive as W3. But alas, I simply cannot use it. :/
I am not any sort of expert - but I did want to chime in and say that I solved that white/blank page issue by unchecking the browser cache option. When I was installing W3TC, I did a lot of research/browsing and one person had mentioned that browser cache will sometimes mess up a display, so when I woke up one day, pulled up my beautiful site to admire it (Mirror, Mirror on the wall;0) and saw white, I remembered that caveat, clicked off browser cache, and I haven't had the problem since.
It may not solve it for you, but it worked for me.
thanks njs, I tried that, but the issue seems to be that the plugin is now requiring us to clear the cache continually so we don't get the blank white page.
when you unclick something on W3 Total Cache it clears the cache so it appears everything is fine, but after some more clicks, the white page comes. back.
I've even tried this with unchecking the page prime function to see if that is the issue.
Now that GoDaddy, InMotion Hosting and Liquid Web are letting their customers know to just completely uninstall W3TC and replace it with WP Supercache, I'm surprised that there's not been a fix done on this after this period of time.
@njs ryt. I am still using w3tc no problem ryt now.. but when i started using w3tc its causes same problem for me..but i still want use w3tc cause without w3tc yahoo page speed 'c' grade even i use msxcdn. when i connect maxcdn to w3tc again i got white screen error. after compeletly uninstall w3tc. again i install w3tc and config correctly but never integrate maxcdn service now its working fine..so, if you are using cdn service then i must say don't integrate cdn service with w3tc or wpcache...and w3tc leverage cache and cache header, mirror page in browser cache leave disable and write leverage browser cache manually in .htaccess file. its work better.
don't use minify, object and databse cache...leave it by default..at lease your yahoo rank boost with w3tc...
when you have to turn off nearly all the selling points on a plugin, that's not too good. it's like if WordPress started letting all the things we like about it go into disarray and never bother fixing them...
This is a horrible plugin. I have tried everything possible and with every scenario I end up with the WCOD. I even replaced all the wordpress files. Reinstalled the plugin countless times, even doing into the dB and deleting all signs of w3. I wish the author would look into this. There has to be some loose end otherwise how can thousands of websites be running this plugin and thousands of users raving? I hope to see a response from the author soon.
the last time there were major issues with the plugin,it was over a year before they came back with a major change so we'll see.
There doesn't seem to be an easy fix for these issues as they require you to continually keep clearing cache which goes against why we even would use a caching plugin.
Seems like this problem is not fixed, right? Spent few hours installing and configuring everything, plugged in my S3, tuned everything up. It worked fast, I was happy. Than I just opened another browser (where there was no local cache for this website and I wasn't logged as admin to wp) and saw a white screen. Googled, and I'm here.
Disabled page cache. Working for now, needs some additional tests. But hey, why use W3TC if I can't cache pages?
It's been a weird one since this same thing seems to be affecting all the caching plugins leading me to believe this has to do with the last WP update and all the plugins have some common script patterns.
I did a thorough check with my server just to make sure, but after extensive testing, it's the caching plugins causing the issue.
Ironic that you have to keep clearing out the cache of the caching plugin to get it working properly. The fact that none of the caching plugin developers have really spoken of this definitely doesn't look good for a fix any time soon.
I've spent all night trying different settings and checking if it works or not. Figured out that the problem (at least with my website) was with the Page Cache Debug turned on (WP Admin -> Performance -> General Settings, Debug section, Debug Mode: Page Cache 'checked'). When turned off, cleared and rebuilt all caches - seems to work fine. Pages are cached, everything is working now for both logged in users and not, in different browsers etc. Tested via tools.pingdom.com, Google Page Speed and numerous other resources - all of them worked and showed good rating for my site. Before, when I had blank screen, tools.pingdom.com (and others) was loading only this blank white page. Now it seems to work. Will ask some friends to check the site tomorrow to see if someone will get the white screen. I hope not ;)
BTW, had to turn off CDN as well, because all performance analyzing tools were telling me to minimize redirects from a CNAME mapped subdomain (media.mydomain.com) to Amazon S3 bucket (media.mydomain.com.s3.amazonaws.com). I thought mapping a subdomain to S3 bucket will not cause any redirects 'cause it goes on a DNS level. Seems like I was wrong. Anyway, for this particular website 98% of visitors are from Russia and Ukraine, server is located in Russia, so it serves static files to local visitors much faster than Amazon S3 - 25ms vs 150-200ms ping makes the difference.
THOR - I just disabled all debug and cleared the cache and the blank pages are gone!!!
Great Job!!!
Too bad the moderator or the developer could not come up with this simple suggestion
keep an eye out and see if the blank page returns. when you make any slight changes on W3TC the blank page issue goes away temporarily as it does when you clear the cache. It returns again sadly.
ajoshi0, glad it helped you :) Often solutions are really, really stupid simple, that's why it's hard to find them.
gooma2, yes, we know that. I did a lot of testing, logged in and out, asked many friends from around the world to check the site - logged in and out as well, from different browsers and clearing browser cache. Everything is working fine now. I'm not telling this fix will definitely help anyone in all possible cases, but it helped me and at least one more person. Seems like it's worth a try.
I got my hands a bit deeper on this and my suggestion is that if there are some particular feature(s) not supported by your server config (or php config) but needed for debug mode to work properly, it encounters error / warning / notice or smth like that and stops execution. That's why it writes a blank file to the cache. Definitely needs some more testing to find the roots but I don't have time right now to do this. W3TC now works on my site and I'm happy.
I've been playing around with the W3TC settings after reading Ihor Vorotnov's post. My suggestion above did stop the white screen, but when I ran GT Metrix, I got a score of 70 page speed and 87 yslow (I have 2000+ pages), which are not optimum scores. And page load speed of 3.77 seconds, which is not too, too bad - I had a site once where the page load speed was 24 seconds - yikes.
So I unchecked all options in debug mode - since it says at the beginning of the section "Performance in this mode will not be optimal, use sparingly and disable when not in use." I'm not using debug mode, mainly because I wouldn't know the first thing about it and ignorance is bliss...so I unchecked them all.
GT Metrix score was now 86 page speed and 89 yslow.
Then I turned off Amazon CDN.
Score was now 96 page speed and 90 yslow. I thought a CDN was supposed to improve site's performance but my findings were not supporting that.
THEN, I turned browser cache back on (I just wanted to see if my changes somehow fixed the white screen also) and I added the 5G blacklist from this page http://perishablepress.com/5g-blacklist-2013/.
Final score is 96 page speed, 92 yslow, page load time 1.06 seconds (for 2000+ image-heavy pages, although all the above tests were just for the front page which is the most image-heavy).
I then tested it in Firefox after clearing cache and Internet Explorer which I haven't used in weeks so there should have been no browser cache, and no white screen of death. I'll check them again at the end of the week and see if my changes hold up. If I get the white screen again, then the browser cache is being turned off permanently.
hopefully that will help. I was getting excited at first too when I made a change the white blank screen went away, but then it would return within a day or two.
eventually one of the cache plugin developers will figure out what's causing this across all of them.
njs7227, about this:
I thought a CDN was supposed to improve site's performance but my findings were not supporting that.
It actually does. It makes pages load faster in most cases. Don't rely only on scores. Every file hosted on CDN adds a redirect (request is actually made to a local origin and W3TC is redirecting it to CDN version). Google Page Speed, YSlow and other tools decrease your score because of that with a simple recommendation - 'minimize redirects'. Check your site with http://tools.pingdom.com and review the results in detail.
Serving static files from CDN means that a user can send more simultaneous requests and download more files/assets at once. At the same time, serving large files from CDN decreases your server load, and it definitely improves overall performance, especially for high traffic websites. This makes a huge difference if you have short ping to CDN servers. I live in Ukraine, the closest and fastest S3 location is Ireland with 150-200ms ping. US locations are even slower. So, for any local ukrainian or russian visitor serving files from a local ukrainian server with 15-25ms ping will be much faster.
Im having still this same issue. It was gone but came back again after some days... we are pretty sure its a W3TC issue.
Pages que published but content isnt showed. You purge cache for that page and the content will come back. The problem is we are having this very often now. Purging cache wont help for that much, it will just fix the problem from published content but not for new content.
If there is no fix to this I will change the plugin ASAP.
After I unselected CDN, though, I could immediately tell my pages were loading faster even without knowing the "scores". When I ran the GT Metrix, it only ended up supporting my feeling that not having the CDN improved performance - go figure. And regardless of the grade, a page load speed of 1.06 seconds is something I can live with.
luigidelgado, are you on shared hosting or vps? Have another idea to check. It's working fine on my website but I already got my hand dirty on this issue, will try to figure out what's wrong.
njs7227, seems we have the same scenario. You can check ping to your CDN and see if it's high. But even with high ping CDN will be useful if your site receives high traffic - it will distribute requests and load. By high traffic I mean more that 1000000+ hits per day.
CDN can be your site's lifesaver in pageload if you have a lot of images too! it can be how you have it set up too.
we have created 4 sub-domains on our site that are all connected through our MaxCDN Pull Zone. By having 4 subs, it breaks each one up for images, js & css so they're pulling from those areas rather than just one spot.
When it comes to measuring page speed, you'll usually wind up with different scores on each place you test.
Ihor: I have a cloud/ dedicated cluster. The thing is its a local news site and its having this issue very often.
In my case I do have CDN connected but in my case we are using Cloudflare Business.
So if I disconnect CDN (i have cloudflare plugin also) could this issue fade away?
luigidelgado, in your case I really don't know and can't even reproduce your environment. My recent idea was in completely different direction, it's not your case. Already tested it, didn't worked (
Regarding how I fixed this WSOD for my website - I actually managed to make it work fine with CDN. Disabled it just because it's too slow for my region (local ukrainian and russian traffic). CDN wasn't causing that WSODs. Turn off all caches one by one. Than turn them back on one by one, but, as soon as you check the "Page Cache" checkbox, BEFORE saving settings scroll down to DEBUG section and uncheck everything (the first checkbox is being turned on by default, as I noticed). Then save settings and countinue turning on all other caching methods you use. After that clear and rebuil all caches. It worked in my case, tried this several times. Restored DEBUG, got those WSODs again, repeated described steps - and everything is working again.
None of these solutions work for me. I installed and it was working great for 2 days. Then I activated another plugin, and that was it. I removed all the file, reinstalled, click activate, and then just blank.
I hope there is a solution to this.
I was researching on optimizing website performance and load speed and found an interesting hint. While this is not related to the WSOD bug, it may be useful for njs7227 and everyone else using CDN.
First, if you map your CDN service or S3 bucket to your subdomain you will have redirects.
Second, browsers will prefetch DNS only for your subdomain, not the actual location of a file. You will have non-prefetched DNS lookups, it can significantly decrease load speed, especially if you have many files linked to CDN.
The solution:
Let's say you have
files.domain.com.s3.amazonaws.com mapped to
files.domain.com. In your HTML add this tag to your HEAD section right after the charset definition:
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//files.domain.com.s3.amazonaws.com">
This will tell browser to prefetch DNS lookup of this domain address, and when the actual request and redirect is made, the DNS lookup part will be skipped (it's already prefetched) making it respond faster.
Tested, it really helps.
I'm not sure yet how Amazon serves this subdomain internally, right now testing if adding one more prefetch link for
s3.amazonaws.com will make it even faster.
@pwizard this has been the issue. it only seems to work when you either make a slight change in the plugin or clear the cache.
naturally a caching plugin is rendered obsolete when it requires the user to constantly clear out the cache for it to work properly...
I've even submitted a bug report with no response and I've been a paying customer of them too this year!
I'm using the latest versions of WordPress and W3 Total Cache, and I have the same problem. (Theme Genesis + eleven40 Child Theme)
Is there some foresight to fix this problem?

Just snoozing on its front porch...
Here's the beaver still in the same spot yesterday evening (see previous post). However, when Columbia Association people tried to approach it to check it out earlier that day, it jumped into the water and swam out to the lake. While they watched, it returned to its sleeping spot. It is odd behavior. The animal is very close to its burrow in the bank here, where it would normally spend the day. Perhaps the higher heat and humidity invaded its home.
Thanks to CA for responding and making sure the animal wasn't sick or injured.
(If you click on the beaver label on this post, you'll find photos of the beaver family temporarily flooded out of this burrow by Hurricane Sandy.)

Carbon-Neutral Kohl's Reports Rise in Emissions, Recycling
Kohl's first corporate sustainability report reveals that its scope 1 to 4 carbon emissions all rose in 2009, while the department store increased its recycling significantly.
In 2009, scope 1 direct emissions were up 12 percent over 2008 levels, from 24,923 to 28,009 metric tons of carbon equivalent. Scope 2 indirect emissions were up three percent, from 810,358 to 833,834 metric tons. Scope 3 (travel emissions) budged slightly at 0.3 percent, from 5,013 to 5,026 metric tons, and scope 4 emissions (transportation) were up 14 percent, from 182,154 to 208,101 metric tons.
But Kohl's also opened 40 stores in 2009, lowering its direct emissions per 1,000 square feet from 7.98 to 7.76. Today Kohl's operates 1,097 stores in 49 states.
Kohl's currently ranks first in retail and second overall on the EPA's quarterly rankings of participants in its Green Power Partnership, ordered by their annual green power use in kilowatt-hours. Kohl's bought more than 1.4 billion kWh last year from wind, solar, biomass and small hydro projects, achieving the carbon neutrality goal it set in December 2009.
The company ranks 12th on EPA's quarterly rankings for on-site generation, through the retailer's solar program, accounting for 15,689,000 kWh annually. Most of the company's emissions are a result of operations-based electricity usage.
As of last December nearly 600 Kohl's stores – more than 50 percent of the company's stores – had earned the EPA's Energy Star label, and 100 were solar powered.
Kohl's has more than 140 locations certified under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Since 2008, all newly constructed stores have been built according to a prototype that received LEED initial certification at the Silver level.
In 2009 Kohl's recycled 136,873 tons of materials – up to a 75.5 percent landfill diversion rate, from 74.6 percent in 2008. Between the two years, Kohl raised its recycling of eight categories of waste. Recycling of LDPE plastic, code #4, rose 106 percent from 1,786 to 3,671 tons, and corrugated cardboard nine percent, from 94,462 to 102,996 tons.
Wood pallet recycling, at 2,403, came close to 2007 levels, bouncing back from 55 tons in 2008. Recycling of mixed bottles and cans soared, from 2 to 252 tons.
But recycling of several categories fell, most notably light bulbs, which dropped from 228 to 22 tons.
Reader Comments
I continue not to be impressed with the Environmental Leader's choice of article titles when announcing the release of corporate sustainability reports. Do the editors believe that deceptive, catchy, negative spins of reported results will enhance readership? I would suggest that the transparency conveyed by KOHLS in thier first CSR is commendable.

In the News
The Stem Cell Institute receives many inquiries from patients wanting to know if stem cell therapies are safe and available to help them. It can be confusing to sort out what is claimed from what has been proven. In February The Food and Drug Administration issued draft guidelines clarifying that the stem cells used in most clinics are drugs and require a rigorous approval process before they can be used in patients. Read the FDA Consumer Update on stem cell therapies. In September 2016, the FDA will be holding public meetings to hear comments on the draft guidelines.
Patients considering stem cell therapies can find reputable information at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) website: www.closerlookatstemcells.org.
Jim Gass received a stem cell treatment in Mexico in the hopes of improving after a stroke. The devastating outcome of this procedure is outlined in this article from The New York Times.
Here at the SCI, we do not treat patients--we perform the basic science research that is needed to find promising new treatments and to establish that they are safe and effective--but we do we receive many inquiries about stem cell therapies. We want to help everyone get accurate information as they educate themselves. Stem cells hold incredible potential but, as this article illustrates, we have much to learn about them that is better learned in a laboratory rather than at a patient's expense.
We suggest you also visit www.closerlookatstemcells.org, a reputable site published by the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). Further information of interest on this topic includes an article from the Washington Post and an advisory from the FDA.
2016 Regenerative Medicine Minnesota Education Program and Biobusiness/Biotechnology awards announced
Regenerative Medicine Minnesota is working to create the infrastructure and knowledge needed to bring regenerative therapies to Minnesotans and to bring Minnesota to the forefront of regenerative medicine. The second year's funding of Educational Programs and Biobusiness/Biotechnology are announced today.
Drs. Eric Holmberg, PhD, Research Director of the Spinal Cord Society, and Shu-xin Zhang, MD, PhD, a contracted researcher with the Spinal Cord Society, will be spending time at Dr. Ann Parr's Stem Cell Institute lab this week to start work on their collaboration for a combination therapy to treat chronic spinal cord injury. Drs. Holmberg and Zhang will be demonstrating their technique to ablate the glial scar that develops at the site of injury using a photo-toxic chemical probe called rose-Bengal. Scar ablation provides a more permissive physical and biochemical environment for axon sprouting. Once the technique is optimized, human induced pluripotent stem cell (hIPSC) derived oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) derived by Dr. Parr's lab will be transplanted following scar ablation. The hypothesis is that the cells will survive and integrate into the injured spinal cord and provide functional recovery.
