I hope Iris Robinson reads about this abominable crime. Her kind of hate speech is all that's needed to incite this type of crime.
I hope Iris Robinson reads about this abominable crime. Her kind of hate speech is what incites other homophobes to commit such heinous acts. If this crime had been motivated by a racial or religious bias, the entire nation would be in uproar.
I agree; its quite rare that a homophobic assault or murder is even mentioned on the national news unless its got a sleaze factor (which the mainstream press seem to love!) People like Ms Robinson need to realise what their nasty comments might lead too!
Sadly this story probably wont make the mainstream rags. They're far too busy covering chefs who advocate posioning yourself. Shame on the tabloids who fail to report on homophobia but jump at the chance to cover a gay 'sex' story.
Just to say as a scouser living in Cheshire with my partner Michael, we both send heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends, this act of daylight homophobia in Liverpool has brought shame to the City of Liverpool in the Culture Year of '08'
A tragic waste & one that I am afraid that we are going to see far more of in the coming weeks, months & years. When our politicians & the clergy think its ok to publicly attack gay people they give licence to people to behave like this. The climate is changing towards gay people. On Saturday night walking from Soho Square to New Oxford St in central London I was heckled by youths because I was walking arm in arm with a male friend. I was too shocked to respond partly because this kind of abuse (religious overtones the Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve crap) was rare in the West End. Not that I think the people in question were religious – pissed in the West End at 1am on a Sunday morning doesn't suggest that these louts were getting ready for church in a few hours time. I am really starting to feel for the first time in years that this is an ill wind picking up speed. Or I am just incredibly naive; living in a pseudo middle-class, gay friendly cocoon that the religious right are trying to smash? Don't like people trying to smash my life…makes me want to smash back. The difference is I want to smash the ability of religions to attack me NOT smash their heads in.
Neil, its a terrible indictment isn't it? Whether it likes it or not, the C of E with its current dilemma over what to do with gay clergy and gay orientation in general is only fuelling the homophobia. It gets a lot of coverage in the media. Homophobes who commit bias crimes such as this read and hear about the C of E's stand on homosexuality….though it may not intentionally defame or denigrate us, its pronouncements against our lives and who we love does plant a seed of hatred and intolerance in the minds of people to go out and commit such terrible crimes, the kind of things that Iris Robinson says for instance. Hate speech does incite violence and homophobia, its a proven fact, after all, its learned behaviour and it usually starts in the home, from one generation to the next, a vicious never-ending circle. Its the same kind of hate speech that led to the holocaust. Lets not forget the media is partly responsible too for perpetrating stereotypes and sensationalising our lives out of proportion and using them as fodder. That won't change so readily. We are the last group they can hate and get away with it, but the tide is slowly turning against them, but not fast enough unfortunately.
No Liverpool Pride is there??? Sad that in 2008 Liverpool lags behind the rest of the country in its antediluvian attitudes to sexuality. As someone now from Brighton but born in Liverpool I am so ashamed that my city hasn't moved beyond its 'Im dead hard, la' and 'who are you ******* looking at' mentality. When the 'Pool' has anything resembling the Village in Manchester or Soho I will believe it has moved into the 20th century, let alone the 21st.

Skip to comments.Catholicism Was Comfort, Conflict For Kennedy
Posted on 08/28/2009 11:28:24 AM PDT by Steelfish
Catholicism was comfort, conflict for Kennedy
His stance on abortion and divorce from wife Joan defied church teachings
BOSTON - Sen. Edward Kennedy was raised from birth to cherish his Catholicism, and it became both a source of comfort and conflict throughout his life.
The son of the country's most famous Catholic family defied church teachings when he divorced his first wife, then was granted an annulment only after he admitted he wasn't being honest when he promised her he'd be faithful. His most significant and public break with the church came with his support for abortion rights.
Yet Kennedy also advocated for signature Catholic causes, such as help for the poor, health care and immigration reform, and opposition to the Iraq war. His faith remained a regular part of his life until it ended this week with a priest at his bedside.
The apparently conflicting portrait of a man loyal to the church despite widening disagreement on key issues "almost perfectly represents" the views of most American Catholics, said Boston College professor Alan Wolfe.
"He's an effect of a process that's been going on for a very long time that started long before Teddy Kennedy was born and will continue long after Teddy Kennedy is dead," Wolfe said.
Kennedy's mother, Rose Kennedy, set the roots of his faith, emphasizing Christ's teaching in the Gospels that "to whom much is given, much will be required." When her kids were teens, she made sure they went to a weekend religious camp every year, even if they'd rather be sailing, said Adam Clymer, who worked with Kennedy on his biography. She took them to church during the week, so they knew church wasn't just for Sundays.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
In his eulogy during her 1995 funeral, Kennedy called his mother's faith "the greatest gift she gave us."
A commitment to Catholicism was not always evident in Kennedy's personal life, which was marred by problems with alcohol and philandering. In 1983, he was forbidden from receiving communion after his divorce which the church forbids from his first wife, Joan.
The public learned more than a decade later that he'd been granted an annulment after he was seen accepting Communion at his mother's funeral. Joan later said that Kennedy requested the annulment, which she did not oppose, on grounds that his marriage vow to be faithful had not been honestly made, Clymer said.
Kennedy never discussed his annulment and also rarely spoke publicly of his Catholicism.
"I think faith oftentimes is deeply felt in the marrow of your bones, it's a matter of the heart," said Kennedy's friend, the Rev. Gerry Creedon, a Washington-area priest. "He had trouble articulating his inner feelings, his deepest conviction and matters of emotion, the heart."
One of Kennedy's longest discussions of his faith came in 1983 in an unlikely place political foe Jerry Falwell's Liberty University:
"I am an American and a Catholic; I love my country and treasure my faith," Kennedy said. "But I do not assume that my conception of patriotism or policy is invariably correct, or that my convictions about religion should command any greater respect than any other faith in this pluralistic society. I believe there surely is such a thing as truth, but who among us can claim a monopoly on it?"
"I believe there surely is such a thing as truth, but who among us can claim a monopoly on it?"
Does this mean that Kennedy did not believe the Nicene Creed? _______________________________________________________________________ +Nicene Creed+
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary , and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. _______________________________________________________________________
I hope I'm wrong, but most likely Sen. Kennedy had disdain for his Catholic faith.
A Catholic politician who encourages abortion? Divorce (secondary to abortion) and unbridled arrogance? Left a girl for dead in a car? Embraced the power of the state to the detriment of ordinary Americans? These aren't Catholic positions.
A life of excessive privilege is the best way to describe Ted Kennedy.
I hope I'm wrong and he's resting in peace. Or embraced by St. Peter.
Because he didn't believe any of the Church's teachings?
The simple truth is this: You cannot be both a good Catholic and a good Democrat. That is the problem.
It didn't take.
It was never more than a vote-retainer for Kennedy. Gave him a tamed Mass. output, which he maintained by forever pollishing the wax job JFK, his dad, and RFK left him. Without the compliant "brainwashed" media?
He'd be nothing.
Where's the projectile vomit warning?
But I do know this: it's hard to find something as destructive to moral society than an apostate Catholic in a position of power and authority.
Consider one person's take on Kennedy's legacy.
In my opinion, the Church dropped the ball on apostate politicians and America has suffered tremendously as a result.
Most of the Vietnamese refugess I've met were Catholic....
It's a line they've drawn in the sand.
God does not hear the prayers of Democrats.
I don't rightly know myself. The Pope often makes public comments on the passing of a public official. When Barack Obama visited the Pope a few months ago, he discretely took a letter from Ted Kennedy and delivered it to the Pope.
Catholics often ask for intercessionary prayers from either a priest, bishop or Pope. The Bible did say that what Peter holds locked on Earth will remain locked in Heaven. That's why St. Peter is always shown in artwork and stained glass as holding keys - the Keys to the Kingdom. Protestants, of course, take a different view but it's what Kennedy may have pleaded for in that letter that is of historical value.
Who knows? Maybe some day in the 26th century, Ted Kennedy's letter will be on review at some Vatican library.
A statement like that is hardly worthy of a village idiot.
Catholics are actually becoming less liberal, it was far worse in generations before.
Well, closing the barn door after the horse is out is probably better than not closing it at all.
no one is ever refused Communion because they are divorced, as the Church does not recognize civil divorce and considers the person to still be married
the obstinant and public sin that makes one ineligible to recive Communion is marrying the second person without first receiving a declaration from the Church (annulment) that the first marriage was never a sacramental marriage because there was some impediment (such falsely vowing to be faithful when you know you don't plan to be faithful)
This country will never recover but we can slow the damage and reverse a little of it if we can pull the Catholics out of the democrat column.
Imagine how different the political landscape would be if republicans could start counting on the majority of the Catholic vote, it would be the end of liberalism as we know it.
BARF!! What a load of horse KaKa.
Bingo! He was catering to multiculturalism and religious plurality.
As the media mourns the death of Ted Kennedy, columnist after columnist will lay out the case for a great man of many accomplishments. Even his opponents will compliment his speeches, his charismatic ways, and his bipartisan efforts. Ive always found these praises from political opponents peculiar. Why praise the technique of a big government crook and abortion supporter? Admiring his speeches and charisma is like admiring the way a bank robber shoots down a security guard. Would we similarly praise the accuracy of his shot or the quickness of the getaway car? Surely not.
Simply, good men do not admire the tact of criminals. Only disturbed D.C. types can admire someone pulling the wool over the publics eyes better than he himself can do. But, was Kennedy a simple crook, a gutter punk scoundrel? No, I think that his humanity showed in his final days.
Take for example the letter that he had President Obama personally deliver to the pope in July. No one knows what the note said exactly, but it was said to be "personal." Though the media didnt make a big deal of this, I thought this was ground-breaking stuff. Here we have one of the biggest proponents of abortion in the Senate on his death bed asking to have a personal note delivered to the pope.
I cant say that the note for certain mentioned abortion or his Chappaquiddick incident, but what else could it have been about? It certainly wasnt about the weather in Massachusetts. A friend of mine joked that perhaps it was a bulleted list of abortions positive aspects for one last stab at the Catholic Church. But, somehow, I doubt it. I think that many of us can imagine what our final letter to such an important holy person would be like. And were I a decades-long supporter of abortion on my death bed, it would be impossible to write the letter without considering my actions on the issue.
If this letter was ever read to the public, the political world would surely be shaken to its core. But politics aside, this one moment in his career shows Kennedys humanity. As proud as he might have been in the public arena, the personal Kennedy understood his faults. And at the end of the day, he turned to God and the Church for help although his relationship with both was shaky to say the least.
Though the tale of his final letter is touching, there is a less enlightened side of the story. For one thing, it shows how little Ted Kennedy really understood his faith. He dealt with so many important moral questions in the Senate but missed the entire point of Christianity altogether personal savior through Jesus.
Think about it. What can a letter to the pope really do for your soul that cant be done praying alone in your hospital bed? What could the popes prayers do in comparison to those of your loved ones, your neighborhood priest, and your parish? Absolutely, nothing.
Sadly, his letter follows a pattern in his life. Even in his last attempts at redemption, he tried to play the same cards up his sleeve for the last time. When his recklessness at Chappaquiddick resulted in the death of a young woman, he used his political connections to get himself out of trouble. Was he trying "save" himself with his connections one last time?
Perhaps, the letter is his final mistake. Instead of coming to God personally or making his own statement about his religious feelings, he used his influential friends to send a letter to the pope.
But, real Christians know the truth. When the time of your judgment comes, connections, wealth, and clout will not help you one bit. At the very least, Ted Kennedy was reaching out to God trying to get closer. But if he really wanted to do the Lords work, he had the chance. Imagine had he said that abortion was wrong publicly before his death. He had such potential and such opportunity. But instead of being courageous, he sent an influential errand boy to bail him out. The only thing necessary for his salvation was in the hospital bed with him. We can only pray that he discovered this in his final hours.
"The only thing necessary for his salvation was in the hospital bed with him. We can only pray that he discovered this in his final hours."
Yes, there are deathbed conversions like the good thief on Good Friday. It is not for us to judge the state of another's soul, these are things that are for God. But we must not shy away from commenting on the consequences of his acts here on earth- for these are things that belong to Caesar. To remain silence, makes us enablers of scandal. To quote Milton, "they also serve who stand and wait"
Here's the poem on Milton's blindness.
When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait."
"country's most famous Catholic family". I can think of a lot more families that the Kennedy"s who would qualify for that position. Other than Eunice, I believe that all other Kennedy' have broken almost all the sins observed by the Catholic Church
really, not. if Catholics were Catholics, that would end the nonsense. a republic apostate is still an apostate.
As goes the church, so goes the culture. there is, therefore, hope.
Confession and request for absolution must be auricular not via letter.
"He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent Me, I also send you. When He had said this, He breathed on them; and He said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." John 20:21-23
That said; who can know; and personally; don't know why anyone cares; let the Pope deal with it in this world; as per his response to Kennedy's passing and the Church; and we know his 'Maker' will deal with Kennedy in the next.
We know; even more than his being Catholic; he supported/endorsed the 'radical' side of Leftist politics. . .and that is it's own religion .
Human Life International's Statement on the Passing of Senator Edward Kennedy
We must, as a matter of precept, pray for the salvation of heretical Catholics like Senator Edward Kennedy, but we do not have to praise him let alone extol him with the full honors of a public Catholic funeral and all the adulation that attends such an event. There was very little about Ted Kennedy's life that deserves admiration from a spiritual or moral point of view. He was probably the worst example of a Catholic statesman that one can think of. When all is said and done, he has distorted the concept of what it means to be a Catholic in public life more than anyone else in leadership today.
Obviously we don't know the state of Senator Edward Kennedy's soul upon death. We don't pretend to. We are told by the family that he had the opportunity to confess his sins before a priest, and his priest has said publicly he was "at peace" when he died. For that we are grateful. But it is one thing to confess one's sins and for these matters to be kept, rightfully, private. It is another thing entirely for one who so consistently and publicly advocated for the destruction of unborn human beings to depart the stage without a public repudiation of these views, a public confession, as it were.
It is up to God to judge Senator Kennedy's soul. We, as rational persons, must judge his actions, and his actions were not at all in line with one who values and carefully applies Church teaching on weighty matters. Ted Kennedy's positions on a variety of issues have been a grave scandal for decades, and to honor this "catholic" champion of the culture of death with a Catholic funeral is unjust to those who have actually paid the price of fidelity. We now find out that President Obama will eulogize the Senator at his funeral, an indignity which, following on the heels of the Notre Dame fiasco, leaves faithful Catholics feeling sullied, desecrated and dehumanized by men who seem to look for opportunities to slap the Church in the face and do so with impunity simply because they have positions of power.
It is not enough for Kennedy to have been a "great guy behind the scenes" as we have seen him referred to even by his political opponents. It is also not praiseworthy to put a Catholic rhetorical veneer on his leftist politics that did nothing to advance true justice as the Church sees it or to advance the peace of Christ in this world. Every indication of Senator Kennedy's career, every public appearance, every sound bite showed an acerbic, divisive and partisan political hack for whom party politics were much more infallible than Church doctrines. Whatever one's political affiliation, if one is only "Catholic" to the extent that his faith rhymes with his party line, then his Catholicism is a fraud.
As the Scriptures remind us, there is a time for everything under the sun. This, now, is the time for honesty about our Faith and about those who are called to express it in the public forum. If we do not remind ourselves of the necessity of public confession for public sins such as Senator Kennedy was guilty of, then we are negligent in our embrace of the Faith and we are part of the problem. As Pope Benedict has reminded us recently, charity without truth can easily become mere sentimentality, and we must not fall into that error. A Catholic show of charity for the family must not eclipse the truth that is required of all with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Senator Kennedy needs to be sent to the afterlife with a private, family-only funeral and the prayers of the Church for the salvation of his immortal soul. He will not be missed by the unborn who he betrayed time and time again, nor by the rest of us who are laboring to undo the scandalous example of Catholicism that he gave to three generations of Americans.
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer,
President, Human Life International
I didn't really understand what you were posting there.
Imagine how different the political landscape would be if republicans could start counting on the majority of the Catholic vote, it would be the end of liberalism as we know it.and my response was:
really, not. if Catholics were Catholics, that would end the nonsense. a republican apostate is still an apostate.
Not really, if Catholics quit voting liberal then the damage they have done over the last 100 years and more could be slowed or even rolled back a little.
Or, "Imagine how different the political landscape would be if republicans could start counting on the majority of the Catholic vote, it would be the end of liberalism as we know it."
I'm hugely confused; I don't know if we're agreeing or arguing ;).
I don't know what that means that is why I keep asking you to translate it.
What does that have to do with Catholics being a democrat constituency?
It means that a genuine Catholic wouldn't tolerate leftwing lunacy — that a nominal Catholic can vote republican and still be a useful idiot; that party affiliation means nothing, ultimately but that a sincere Catholic faith equips one to make a genuine, life and liberty affirming contribution to society.
I got it that time, good point and very true.

Alan Pardew has been emphasizing that this is the business end of the season, and that while it's a tough game today at the Etihad Stadium, Newcastle must try to get a result to take some momentum into the game at Benfica on Thursday night, and the important home game against Fulham next Sunday.
Alan Pardew – we need to deliver
Let's be straight – anything but a defeat today would be a surprise to us – but hey – we are willing to be surprised and even shocked. 😀
This is what Alan Pardew has said about the game today:
"We are going to get a similar scenario at City as we will in Lisbon." "So hopefully we can put in a really strong performance at the weekend ahead of playing Benfica. That would be the ideal scenario."
"The most important thing is that we give ourselves a platform for both games." "We were on a real high going into the Wigan game, but then suffered huge disappointments on a number of levels. That's the beauty of football, how quickly it can change."
"But while these next two games are a mouth-watering prospect, we still need to deliver. That is my priority, to put on strong performances and get good results." "If we can do that this week then it will go a long, long way to how we are reflected upon at the end of the season."
"Every team in that bottom ten won't be comfortable yet. We're all striving to get close to 40 points as quickly as we can and that's our goal, too." "History dictates that teams can sometimes make a late run."
"West Ham once won five of their last seven when they survived or something like that, so you have to be on your guard as a Premier League side." "This is the business end now and for all of us there'll be extra tension on the game."
"There'll be extra emphasis from the media – and you all need to deal with that and be able to get your results."
Since the five Frenchmen arrived on Tyneside in January, we have played seven league games and won four and lost three – 12 points from 7 games – and all three games we have lost have been on the road at Tottenham, Swansea and Wigan.
So we are going to need to turn the tables and play extremely well today, if we are to get something out of this game today, but that's also not impossible.

Les Allen (7 March 1911 – 5 September 1989) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton and North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Allen, a forward, was originally from Wangaratta but came to Carlton via Fairfield.[1] He kicked an eight goal haul in just his second VFL game, against South Melbourne at Princes Park, in round four of the 1930 season.[2] Despite playing from the pockets, he continued to outstage his key forward teammates Horrie Clover and Harry Vallence for the rest of the year and finished as Carlton's leading goal-kicker on 56 goals.[2]
He continued his prolific form up forward the following season, kicking 15 goals in the opening three rounds.[2] For the rest of the year he wasn't as effective and left for North Melbourne, ending his time at Carlton with a record that saw him kick exactly three goals a game.[2]
Allen was second in the goal-kicking at North Melbourne to Tom Fitzmaurice in each of his three seasons, with a best of 44 goals in 1933.[2]
At the end of the 1934 season he retired from the VFL, citing ill health.[3] He attempted a comeback in 1937, without success, but did play some football with Brunswick two years later.[4]

On Tap Today: Milwaukee garage bands through the decades
Rock and roll, in its purest form, isn't about sex and drugs and fame and fortune. For the vast majority of amateur musicians interviewed for the new book "Milwaukee Garage Bands: Generations of Grassroots Rock," playing in a band was primarily about "how great it felt to play loud music with their buddies," said the book's author Peter Roller.

Niki Johnson to talk about condom portrait of pope on CNN
Artist Niki Johnson will be interviewed about her portrait of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, crafted from thousands of condoms, on CNN Sunday morning. The segment is slated to air at about 7:30 a.m. Central time.
Johnson will talk about the work, which was inspired by the former pope's 2009 comments about condoms while in Africa. He suggested condom use could increase the spread of AIDS. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Chamber Theatre blossoms again with lighthearted 'Jeeves in Bloom'
Given the miserable spring we've been having, I probably don't need to explain the appeal of a play titled "Jeeves in Bloom," the second of Margaret Raether's three stage adaptations of the P.G. Wodehouse stories and novels featuring Bertie Wooster's ever-capable valet.
Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

The extremely hot/humid weather made our stay VERY uncomfortable in this park. This park is split into two areas...the nice grassy shaded 50 amps spaces are all taken by full time residents, and I was NOT happy about that as they miss-led me when I called about having 50 amp service. if you're going to stay here, you'll be placed in the "group camping" 30 amp area on gravel in the open, though there is a large grass area with fire rings adjacent. Sites are level and not too tight, but a bit hard to back into with a big rig. Water and sewer good, but again only 30 amp. They are constructing addltion 50 amps sites but no idea when they will be done. There is no shade here and it's dusty. Camp area is very close to the shore of Milford lake. Fishing and boating good. No mosquito's which was a pleasant surprise, but there are some snakes around the lake so keep an eye out. Kayak and canoe rentals. Beach area. Hiking trails. Cabins and some tent sites on grass. Primitive toilets only and no laundry services. 10 miles from Junction City and 25 from Manhatton. Mini-mart about 2 miles. We stayed a month to visit relative. I would NOT camp here again in summer, nor would I stay longer than a couple days. - Retired CSI Guy

This resort is really not designed for a camping destination. We used the resort for a family reunion, with part of our group staying in lodge rooms/cabins and part in campsites. For this purpose it worked out pretty well. There is a lot of shade around the lodge, and a large open yard space with fire ring and space to play in between the lodge and campsites. This resort seriously needs a laundry facility as well as showers and flush toilets. Especially since they are adding additional lodging and camping facilities. Our group used the lodge rooms for toilets and showers, but it was very inconvenient for the pop-up campers who didn't have any toilet in their campers. With all the construction being done on-site, I would think there will be improvements to the camping facilities. Until then, it's a great cabin/lodge resort but lacking in the campsite area. - benidew

We stayed here rather than a parking lot on our trip across Kansas going to Colorado. What a lovely surprise. Largest lake in Kansas. We didn't do anything in the park but you could spend a weekend here. The parking sites were wonderful. Ours was a pull through with an obstructed view of the lake. Concrete level pad with full hookups. Well worth the drive off the interstate. - RosalitaAS
Jul 2015 - $24.00
The site was near the water and had amazing views, but the night-time bugs were horrible. I would not open the door after dark. Several pull through sites are one-way on a single lane road section. The last person in has to wait for the previous one to leave, or break the rules and drive through the grass. See the camp host before picking your site, they live a long ways away from the camp sites. - Keystone Trail
Jul 2015 - $28.00
Review applies only to a five night stay in the Eagle Ridge section (equestrian loop); other loops vary greatly in character and services. Easy access to and in the park with our oversized 40'+ BigRig RV. Price paid includes a daily vehicle fee that wasn't mentioned until check-in. Poorly designed loops; park has plenty of space but many sites are very close to one another and many with oddly placed utility services - choose a suitable site carefully ahead of time if making reservations. Would have rated park lower but it was very quiet at night. We would stay again but certainly wouldn't go out of our way to do so. - Snidely Whiplash

We usually don't have a problem finding our way to a 'new-to-us' campground; but this time we did. When you are going north on highway 77 and looking for where to turn left, the Flagstop Resort sign is on the right side of the highway but it is located past where you actually make the turn. Plus, if sunlight is reflecting off the sign, it is very hard to read. So when you see the green highway sign that points to the left and says 'Milford', turn there. After that, there is not another sign that says 'Flagstop' until you reach the entrance. You will need to watch for one of those small, square signs with a trailer on it so you know where to make the next left into the neighborhood. There is only one entrance and one exit. This campground caters to seasonal tenants. A lot of the sites have a rig and a boat plus an abundance of 'stuff' outside. We encountered low hanging trees and large speed bumps. There are some side by side hookups which puts you very close to your neighbor. We were in a full service site at the end of a row and enjoyed our view of the city park. Our site was level, hard-packed dirt, but not all sites looked at good as this one. The services all worked well. We would stay again if we got this same site. - B&H

This campground is nice if you like fishing and boating in a small lake, little else to do in the area. The biggest problem is that they only have one handicapped site and that cannot be reserved but rather, on a first come first served and no requirement to be handicapped to get this site. So if you are handicapped this isn't a great park. - dlbof
Jul 2015 - $10.00
Nice views, but service was bad. We are handicapped and were told we couldn't have a handicapped site, because it was taken. The folks staying in the handicapped stall were not handicapped. It appears that every rule for COE parks are violated. Folks freely empty their holding tanks, dogs are not leashed, campers were parked and left vacant during the week, with occupants coming in for week-ends, trailers with boats and cars parked on the grass. No one manning the booths during the day, so it is hard to check in. We do like the park, but the contract people are not competent. The volunteers were not helpful. - eileenb

We used our National Park discount for the 1/2 price ($18 a night regular price) - stayed 2 nights. It was a wonderful, peaceful campground near a beautiful lake. We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Visited Junction City WalMart (very nice) to stock up. No 10 since it didn't have sewer. We enjoyed the park and would visit there again if we were in the area. Park has 4 showers near the entrance of the park. The bathrooms are clean and placed around the park. The hosts are very helpful. Lots of boats and great fishing apparently in the area. Located near Junction City on one of the state's largest lakes. Campsites located right on the lake if wanted. One loop has no facilities. - westie0506

Traveling across country and needed an overnight spot. 11 miles north of I-70. Plenty of sites available on a weekday. We saw only 2 other trailers in "A" loop. There are restrooms throughout campground. Water and electricity at the sites, big rig friendly. Lots of space between the level gravel sites. Wide interior roads for easy backing into sites. Park like setting with trees and play area for kids. Great value if you have a National Park pass $9 per night. Normal rate is $18. Tent sites $12. This is a beautiful location a real gem! We camped in a 5th wheel. - Charlie M.

Nice campground on Milford Lake. Our loop had only 30 amp and water, no sewer. There is a boat ramp nearby and some shady spots. Rate reflects Federal senior pass. Be advised that the campground is located 11 miles from the interstate. We were told that 50 amp sites are at another park. - lburas
Jul 2010 - $8.00
We have a Federal Parks pass, so rate was 1/2 off. There are only 5 sites with 50 amp, and is on a first come basis, no reservations. Sites are shady and there is a view of the lake from all sites. Will stay here again. Great value. Swim, fish and boat in the lake. Has boat dock. - dlbof

We were just needing a place to stay one night that wasn't too far off the hwy. and this was perfect, it was about 6 miles off of I-70 before Junction City, roads were a bit narrow but hardly any traffic. Stayed in A loop in space 6. It was a bit hairy trying to make the loop in our 38ft. class A. Other than that it was a beautiful place and quiet, we would come back and hopefully stay a little longer. - eagle94
May 2015 - $9.00
The park was difficult for our GPS to locate. There is no COE sign easily visible from Kansas Route 244, and K-244 was an unknown route to our updated Garmin. If this is your destination use coordinates 39.07681 and 96.92474. The park itself has lots of gravel sites in two loops. They offer water and electric with a dump & trash station at the entrance. We booked what appeared to be one of the last two sites available only to learn ( from a regular at this park ) that sites divisible by 3 ( 3 thru 15 and 16 ) cannot be reserved and are on a first come basis. At least two of these "open" sites would have served us better than the one we reserved as far as satellite reception was concerned. We also learned that nobody patrols this facility as evidenced by trash in our fire pit and loud music from a site a few hundred yards away. The closest eating/shopping is at least 5 miles away and the better places are on Ft. Riley, which is open only to the military or retirees. The closest bath house did not include any shower facility. Our Verizon cell and the associated hot spot allowed us access to the internet. They close and lock the campground gates at 10 PM and open at 7 AM. Sites 1-16 in Loop A offer 50 amp, all other sites are 30 amp only. They offer a tenting area and a separate fish clean station near the park entrance. This is probably a boating and fishing paradise - especially here in Kansas. The Golden Age/Senior Pass discounted our site to 9.00 per night. - 5thwheeler

Interior roads are very narrow and tricky to maneuver. We drive a 38' motorhome and tow a Jeep and it was tight, but we made it. There are 10 pull-thru sites, which are just loops off the main roads, and 19 back-in sites, half of which are very long. Sites are close together. The office is closed on the weekends but you can put your check or cash in an envelope and leave it. Or call them - they are very responsive. The manager was out to the campground 3-4 times over the weekend. She was very nice and very helpful. They ask that you use jack pads as all the sites are asphalt. Wifi was good, and worked the entire 48 hours we were there. Sites are very close together. I-70 is literally steps away and the traffic noise was horrendous. We would not stay here again. - SusanRon

We needed an overnight stop near Manhattan, KS, to visit friends and chose this campground based on previous recommendations. When I called to make reservations, I told the campground attendant that we were a 40' motorhome towing a full-sized pickup, and wanted to be sure that this campground could accommodate us. No problem, I was told! Imagine our surprise when we pulled into this teeny place and could barely negotiate the fairways with our pickup unhooked! We were in site 11, right next to the road, and got to hear the early morning workers headed to their jobs. I-40, indeed, was only 1/2 mile away, adding to the noise. Yes, they do have cable, but we needed a "box" to access their service. Rather out-dated. We will never stay here again. - JanW

Needed a place just overnight while traveling through. What a nice find. Place is half mile off the highway, flat, and easy to navigate even at night. Almost all sights are pull through and easily accommodated my 40' RV. Folks were nice and I will use again when in the area. - colotiger

New Campground right on I-70. Camp Host's were great, Laundry and Showers were the cleanest we have seen. Easy hookups for Electric, Water, and sewer.

Easy access to I-40. Only a year old. Nicely laid out park and each site was more than adequate. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Nice amenities, including a small grassy dog park next to a gazebo was good for our 2 large dogs to relax. Highly recommend. - Tonymesaaz

This is a small park right off of the interstate. We stayed for one night, and it was OK but it's probably not a place to stay for much longer than that. It's very spare with young sapling trees that are too small yet to offer any shade. There is a small grassy dog park (very small) but the dumpster is down the hill and around the side of the office and restrooms, which is not convenient for after the dog park visit.
The showers are super tight and the shower nozzle sprays right at face height and cannot be adjusted. There's no convenient place to set down a toiletry bag and no place in the shower to set items. The whole shower design is poorly conceived.
Overall the park is OK but not great. - RV-Grey

Wow, what a deal. If you have an America the Beautiful Golden Age Pass: you get half-off of an already low rate of $18/night. Tuttle Creek Cove COE is a well kept campground with 50 amp power and water. The sites are roomy and well spaced with fire ring, stand-up grill and lantern pole. Excellent power, no voltage dips even on 100+ degree days.
Many sites are well shaded but the branches were too low for our tall 5th wheel. We chose instead a site on top of the ridge where there were no trees. This had us backed in with our rear picture window facing out over the lake. One of the best views we have had out that back window in the four years we have been full-timing. The sunrises were stunning.
Verizon was excellent, LTE for our jetpack with data rates at 6mbs or better. Satellite setup was a breeze. - jperry29
Jul 2016 - $9.00
Some of the camp loops are on a bluff while other loops are close the water's edge. All of the interior roads are on asphalt and are hilly. The sites are on crushed asphalt and rocks. Due to the terrain, some sites sloop more than others. The electrical box consists of 50/30/15 amp electrical service. The voltage was strong - hovering around 122 volts. This was surprising since it was very hot and all of the rigs were using AC.
Both the utility box and water spigot was located at the back of the site. All sites were back-in except for one site. All of the sites can accommodate a large rig and there was an area within the site to park a boat. All sites have a fire ring, BBQ stand and a picnic table. The one dump station is located at the entrance of the park. Fresh water is also available there.
The bathroom and showers were clean but not very appealing. The park also has a boat launch, swim, and a number of playground areas.
Verizon air card and cell phone reception was good. The gates to the park are closed from 10 PM until 6 AM. It was very quiet at night.
We would come back to this park if we were in the area. We have a 32 foot 5th wheel. - adsaxs

Other than no cable or WIFI, this park is just about perfect - only about 25 spaces all basically with a view of beautiful Tuttle Creek reservoir. All (except one) are back-in spaces but there's generally enough room to maneuver OK. Electric at 50 Amps and water supply is fine. Each space has a nice aluminum picnic table in the space and the spaces are generally fairly flat so leveling isn't too bad. There is only one dump station and it's at the top of the hill (whereas all the spaces are down the hill close to the water) - not a problem but you should be aware of it. The onsite staff are very friendly and try to be helpful. We got our 50% discount from using our federal parks "senior pass" - quite a bargain for a good park. - Mountain RV User

Nice overnight stay. Many seasonal people, but their rigs were quite new and everything was neat and tidy. Lots of grass with gravel sites. Average width of sites. We stayed in #22, which was perfectly level. There is a convenience store with pizza, wings, hot dogs and various sundries. The Shell station on the premises made it convenient to fill up and their price was great...$2.09 for diesel. Will stay again on our return trip. - lpampin

Convenient stop along I-70. Facilities were clean and all worked, but need updating. A little paint and TLC would do wonders. Electrical pedestals need updating pretty badly.
Very nice convenience store folks. A gas station w/diesel if needed at competitive prices. - bobojay

Extended footage of Junie's flipout last week
Some of those guys were definitely egging him on, it wasn't just him being an unprovoked nutcase. That said, I still think he's a douche, can't wait 'til the next episode.
He has issues man plain and simple. They may not be able to be worked out.
His problem is he feels like he has to defend himself all the time. It's the world against him. If he can't get past this problem I don't think he'll make it.
Thanks for the extended clip F>A, you have been rep't my friend.
fun to watch indeed!
i dont like the guy.. he has no respect to other fighters..
im hoping nover or escudero to tap him out or knock his head off..
Junie acts like he is in middle school. He needs to stop acting like a victim and not try to hurt people because they said something he doesn't like.
he's a moron cuz he's a moron and i hope he gets his ass put to sleep in the cage
I think there is a strong chance Junie may have been abused. Physically, Emotionally and possibly even sexually. He obviously has serious emotional problems and is most likely using alcohol to cope.
Egging the guy on was just douchebaggery. They aren't any better than him

FPV Stryker Build Log - LOST & FOUND!!!
Here are the beginnings of my fpv stryker. I just bought the stryker wing at the LHS for $20 and cut the the fins and elevons out of balsa on my Phatprinter (www.phlatboyz.com or www.phlatforum.com) Fins are 1/8" balsa and elevons are 3/16", both covered with neon pink monokote. The plan is:
Henge 12 g metal geared servos from HK
Turnigy Plush 40 amp ESC
Corona rp8d1 rx on 72 mhz
Sony 540 OSD cam (though I might switch as I've found it's a bit noisy!)
Foxtech 5.8 200 mw vtx/vrx
haven't found a motor yet.
Once I get to installing the fpv gear I might need a little help from you guys. I'll be using a CL on the plane and a SPW on rx. I hear the 5.8 CLs in particular need to be mounted in such a way that the other electronics don't block it's signal. I could cut a hole in the bottom of the wing to lay the CL in, but still it could be blocked in a bank, so I've been thinking that it might be more important to mount it in such a way that the other electronics don't block the fresnel zone. I'm wondering how far away from other electronics it needs to be - 4, 6, 12 in? Any input on this from personal experience would be appreciated.

my FPV system easily attaches to my stryker just above the forward compartment (where the battery goes)using a couple velcro straps I hot glued thru the fuselage ...the whol;e thing is attached to a small sliver of ply board with a total added weight of just 3.4 oz ....the stock motor/prop/esc combo from the "c" version is more than adequate for most flights ...just my 2 cents worth...
Looks like great minds think alike... LOL. Here are a couple of pics of my stryker that I completed this week but this one will not be for FPV. Keep up the good work and we will be watching....

Can you post pics so we can have a idea of the placement of your FPV equip.?
Thanks for the help.... :-)

Help me out with this guys, I'm losing sleep over which motor to buy! These are the two that I'm looking at:
1.7 oz. Best prop is an EMP 6x5 for 30 oz thrust, 92 mph pitched speed and 22 amps on a 3 cell.
This one is 2.0 oz (not really a concern). There's not really any good numbers for this motor on 3 cells. 4 cells, however, reveals 37 oz thrust, 102 mph pitch speed, all at the same 22 amps! This is really tempting, the only real downside is this...I don't have any 4 cell lipos. I could buy some, they're a few more dollars than 3 cells, but I couldn't use them in any of my other planes. Hmmmm.
What would you chose?
- Jeff
i will like to see your set up soon because i plan to build one also ,
my gear is: turnigy 9x with frysky module
600mw immersion tx 5.8
stock fat shark 5.8
gopro hd for the camera
i have the same airwave antenna for video tx and rx
first this set up will be on my 330x quadcopter
my only concern now is to figure it out how to install everything to have the best range and image quality

I'm hoping to maiden it within a week. It's completely possible as long as I don't get distracted with other projects.
I still haven't ordered the motor yet but I have one I can use in the meantime. I'll get some more pics up later tonight or tomorrow when I make more progress.

But, yeah, you could fly at our filed if you wanted. Just usually me on 1280... unless Randy is in the area!

Well I'm getting there, slowly but surely. I spend most of my time just staring at all the parts trying to figure out how it's all going to fit while maintaining separation of noisy component as well as CG. I think I got it. The pics show a general layout that looks like it's going to balance. I'm going for the "press fit" type of look where everything fits snug into its own compartment. Oh yea, that's a tiny little 2212-06 motor on the back. Rest assured it is for testing purposes only
As for antenna placement I'm thinking of two options:
1. I'd like to keep all the weight centered if possible, so I could use a long coax to put my tx antenna way out on the wing tip. At 5.8 I hear the losses are large through coax so I'm not sure about this.
2. I could point the connector on the tx down, drill a hole in the fuse for a short 1-2" piece of coax, and mount the tx antenna literally underneath the plane. Then I'd need to use some type of foam/balsa dome to protect it. I really like this idea if it would work.
I'm going to ask this in the cloverleaf thread to see if anybody has experience with this.
- Jeff
That's the only downside to preparing slots for each component... if you need to move then you've already made cuts.
Also, as you point out protecting the antenna would be most important under the plane.... but think about this... if the antenna is under the plane then you'd want to be flying mostly level so the antenna was on with your ground antenna... but I've found the FunJET goes so fast I'm actually banked with the bottom of the jet typically away from where my antenna is as the plane circles around me.
That's why I though on top of the plane might be better if you plan on acrobatic maneuvers. also, with belly landings less possible damage if on top of the fuse.
The counter to this argument is that now the 5.8 antenna may be blocked when flying level if onto of the fuse. One step forward and one step back.
What about placing the antenna at the top of your canopy where it's the highest up above the body and nose making it easier to see the ground when flying level?

That attitude resulted in the offense finally moving the ball and scoring points. That pride resulted in the defense keeping an always-potent USC offense out of the end zone.
Despite the game already being decided, and despite the fans, players, and coaches all probably with second thoughts about the state of their team, the Bears did what they thought needed to be done if the second half of the season is to be more successful than the first half.
Never mind USC, Tedford and his players made the second halves about themselves. Their deficiencies, their expectations, and their pride – all was on the line in defeat. However, there are six more games to leave their mark, six more chances to end 9-3.
"What we've talked about is we're halfway through the season and we're 3-3," Tedford said. "We take one game at a time and put our heart and soul into everything we do for each week and lay it on the line. Prepare, focus, and take one game at time. You can't look at the big picture and start to worry about things like that. It's about focus and preparation for this week, that's all that matters."
The focus and preparation this week means a home date with the Arizona State Sun Devils (3-3, 1-2). Don't be fooled by Arizona State's record: their losses include a 1-point loss on the road to then No. 11 ranked Wisconsin, a three-point road loss to Oregon State, and a tough 42-31 loss to No. 1 Oregon – Oregon's closest game of the year. Also on the resume is an impressive road win at Washington, who had already beaten USC on the road.
Arizona State is lead by their junior quarterback Steven Threet, a transfer from Michigan who has taken the reigns of the offense. Through Threet's arm, the Sun Devils are averaging 299 passing yards per contest – good for 15th in the nation. It is quite apparent that the Bears, in their attempt to rebound from USC's air attack, will have another major test on their hands. A performance like last week and the Bears could find themselves with their first home loss of the season.
Senior safety Chris Conte – coming off a career high 14 tackles in last week's loss – says that their matchup with Threet and Arizona State will be all about – you guessed it – themselves.
"I can speak for the defense, but I think [there will be] a lot tougher coaching this week," said Conte. "This week we're going to really get back to that and focus on just everyone's fundamentals, their responsibilities and what they have in each coverage and really just be on top of that and play good assignment football again."
The best way for the California defense to right momentum and get back on track is by forcing turnovers. By the looks of it, the secondary will have their chances to turn momentum. Threet, despite piling up yards, has also thrown 11 interceptions on the year. The Bears have managed five interceptions, including one touchdown.
The Cal offense will be dealing with a veteran Arizona State defense that ranks 51st nationally in points allowed. However, it is more than apparent that Tedford will have a keen eye on the Sun Devils' stud middle linebacker, sophomore Vontaze Burfict.
"He's a guy you have to make sure you keep your eye on, no question about it," said Tedford. "He's a great football player and he runs around, he's big, he's physical, very athletic."
Despite Burfict's presence, the offense will look to continue moving the ball in ways similar to the second half at USC. In order for that to happen, the Bears know that the onus is on themselves to make it happen.
Much like it will be on themselves to improve and finish the 2010 season strong.
"We're going to work hard every day, to do the best we possibly can," said Tedford. "We can work hard, we can try to put the players in position to make plays and then players have to step up and make plays, and we have to stick together and compete, every down, one week at a time...we're not going to give up...we're going to fight as hard as we can to play our best each and every week."

The Philadelphia School Reform Commission has yet to say whether it wants William R. Hite Jr. or Pedro Martinez to be the next leader of the School District, but the good-government group the Committee of Seventy has a message for the board:
Whomever you choose as leader, open the contract.
Superintendent contracts have always been public. But the committee has asked the SRC to release "broad parameters" before any contract is finalized.
SRC member Wendell Pritchett, chair of the superintendent search committee, has said the decision could come this week, a time frame the committee said has some believing the SRC is "acting too quickly."

2 Years Versus 5 Years – I chose this school because it was career focused and took less time than the community college for the same degree.

Laptops are included in your tuition which is nice as well for the required paper use as well as desktops in the library. Staff is very helpful and has an open door policy.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A Free Playlist of Country Christmas Favorites
As the Christmas holiday approaches this week, I pulled together a Spotify playlist of my 30 favorite Christmas tunes for Country music fans to enjoy while wrapping last-minute presents, entertaining with family or heading out to your holiday get-togethers. This list spans the genre's generations with classics from the likes of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Gene Autry and Kitty Wells and updated holiday hits from Toby Keith, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley and many more. Did I miss your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
I also tossed the music video of Kenny Rogers and Parton's "A Christmas to Remember" at the end of this post. The song isn't available on Spotify, but that's okay because the music video is so pricelessly unique that you just need to watch it to get the full experience. Check out Kenny and Dolly singing together in a ski lodge filled with stiff mannequins from a 1980s Christmas special. There's no explanation needed - it's just one of those quirky Christmas moments! »Read Full Blog Post
