Last Friday's announcement that homes instead of offices are to be built on a two-acre abandoned office plot on the eastern rim of the City marks an upturn in the fortunes of Aldgate and a downturn in the reputation of a hapless US developer who gambled millions on a huge office scheme that never got out of the ground.
Barratt and British Land have formed a 50:50 joint venture to buy the cleared site beside Aldgate East tube station from owner, Tishman Speyer. The huge American firm has been persuaded to sell by HSH Nordbank, a German lender which advanced millions to work up plans for 800,000 square feet of offices, including a 330-foot tower.
"Opportunities to develop residential-led schemes of significant scale on the fringe of the City are limited," said British Land development director, Nigel Webb, who has already engaged in one venture with Barratt in Surrey Quays.
In Aldgate three towers, of 19, 21 and 23 storeys, containing 473 flats, plus a 200-bedroom hotel and shops will be built. All designed by cuddly-yet-quietly-groovy architects, Allies & Morrison. "There is no question that gentrification is taking place in this part of town," says Barratt's London boss, Alastair Baird, who estimates the flats will sell for around £900 a square foot when finished in 2015.
Guess what? Tishman thought the same after buying the site for £110 million 12 years ago. But in January 2006 a fatal mistake was made. The boom gulled the Americans into thinking office rents would jump in Aldgate. The idea of flats was abandoned and a switch to offices announced. These plans were unveiled in September 2007.
Millions were spent clearing the site, millions more closing a main artery into the City and diverting traffic. Vain attempts were made by Jones Lang LaSalle to pre-let the offices in the 2008-2011 downturn. Then 12 months ago HSH Nordbank lost patience and asked Savills to please, please, find a buyer.
Barratt bit, then brought British Land alongside such a large deal for the sake of comfort. Negotiations took nine months. The terms of the deal are covered by confidentiality clauses to cover Tishman's embarrassment. Completion of the deal is provisional upon gaining planning permission from Tower Hamlets. But, safe to say, Barratt and British Land won't be paying a very high price for Tishman's error of judgment.
Rumour? Lloyd's going walkies?
The 38-storey concrete core of Land Securities' Walkie-Talkie tower on Fenchurch Street looked neck-creakingly close to full height on Tuesday. A three-minute stroll up to Leadenhall Street found the steel frame on British Land's 52-storey Cheese grater jutting just five storeys above ground. Yet both towers are due to complete in spring 2014. No need to sell your British Land shares. The developer says progress on the Leadenhall Building, as it's officially called, is on programme. The steel frame tops out in January 2013. By then much of what lies beneath will be completed. BL has let a third of its tower to insurance giant, Aon. Rumour has it this advantage may soon be lost. LandSecs is supposedly luring one or two large insurers towards the Walkie-Talkie. Two weeks ago it was suggested here that Lloyd's of London was chafing to leave its iconic, but very expensive HQ. No, no…surely not?
Development looks for stitch in time to save Nine Elms
Above the newly minted "Nine Elms — on the South Bank" emblem unveiled last week, sits a scatter of shards laid in a hexagon. It deftly embodies the slightly worrying loose-fit groupings that have been assembled to shape the Capital's biggest development area since Docklands in 1981.
Thirty-one years ago in Docklands it was brutally simple. Over the coming decades the 480-acre zone centered on New Covent Garden and Battersea Power station will be shaped very differently.
How differently, became clear after a chat with Wandsworth council leader, Ravi Govindia, and Helen Fisher, a quiet woman hired last month to co-ordinate the project. The new girl said little. "We can do without an enterprise zone," says Govindia. What has been set up instead is an economical but rather conflicted private-public partnership, made up of developers who own the land and those whose job, one day, will be to grant or refuse planning permission. Around 150 people have been drawn together and the majority of attendees come from the private sector. They give their time free. Fisher is the first full-time paid employee. Govindia is now looking for "some large-scale cultural offering", to "stitch the area into a local neighbourhood".
Might that be the much-discussed move by Chelsea FC to a new stadium at Battersea Power Station? "If Roman Abramovich buys the site he will need to abide by the planning framework," says Govindia. In case you are in any doubt, that means houses and shops — and no stadium.
Lampard neighbour Murray is in for a dig
Frank Lampard overcame fierce opposition to plans for a basement in the garden of his £8 million home in Tregunter Road, Chelsea. The Chelsea midfielder, left, therefore should not mind developer Andrew Murray digging a ruddy great pit adjacent to his back garden. The hole is to hold a pool under a brand new £25 million five-storey house of 9000 square feet.
Murray, 41, is an ex-carpenter who looks and sounds like an ex-Savills agent, rather than a horny-handed tradesman. That might help explain why his 12-strong development company is called Morpheus. Murray's former trade explains why he also runs a
30-strong building firm, cheekily called Cubitt Construction, after London's most famous 19th-century builder.
The ultra-modern house, which will be finished next year, sits in Cathcart Road, where Hugh Grant lives. The price feels a bit steep, even for film stars or footballers. No worries. In two months' time Morpheus will finish three modern townhouses, also in Chelsea. The 4000-square-foot pads will sell for around £8 million each: a snip for any of Frank's team-mates.

By Joe Brewin
Andre Santos has revealed the reason behind his quirky goal celebration at Chelsea.
The Brazilian international fired home at Stamford Bridge to help Arsenal on their way to a stunning 5-3 victory in west London, before engaging in a special samba jig in front of the travelling supporters.
"The song is by a friend of mine and is topping the charts in Brazil," he told Arsenal.com "I wanted to dance in tribute to him, so I asked the guys to wait. I love the song and I listen to it a lot.
"It was a very important goal, especially because that was my first London derby.
"I was very happy, I'm adapting to the English game quickly and I will keep working hard so that our team can grow in the competition."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Trails of Post Sandy Debris Surface with Spring
A lot of attention has been focused on the damage Sandy caused to beaches. But as spring blooms, officials are just now getting a sense of what a blow the storm was to millions of acres of public forest lands and hiking trails.
Deep inside the Dismal Harmony Natural Area in Morris County, the Dismal brook races under massive upended trees knocked over by Sandy's sustained tropical force winds. In some places the uprooted trees have altered the stream's course. In other sections, it has slowed the flow of water.
Jennifer Martin, a college biology teacher, says the hiking trails along the brook took a beating.
"Just a tremendous amount of trees down everywhere. And anywhere any sort of trail markings, wood markings or whatever, they're all down."
Sandy Batty, with the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions says local conservation officials are still surveying hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands to get a handle on Sandy's impact.
"There's a lot trees that are hung up on other trees and have suffered damage but have not come down yet," Batty said.
For weeks after Sandy struck, officials focused on clearing roads and utility lines. But now, their attention has turned to the extensive Sandy damage to public open spaces like athletic fields, hiking trails and wilderness areas. Stephen Mountain, the administrator for Mendham Township in New Jersey, says Sandy took a toll on his community's 3,000 acres of open space.
"Even in a normal Spring we would have to go do some pruning and tree cutting to deal with fallen trees. In this Spring we are dealing with five times the amount of debris clean-up," Mountain said.
Mountain said FEMA will reimburse Mendham for 75 percent of the special Sandy spring clean-up costs, that could be as much as $250,000 dollars.
The local Environmental Commission is also looking for volunteers to help with the park clean-up efforts.
Steve Maurer is with New Jersey's Forest Fire Service which is responsible for 3.5 million acres of forest. He says hikers need to be aware that Sandy significantly altered the forest terrain and made it more of a challenge for fire and other first responders to move around in these wilderness areas.
"They may be able to hike. They maynot be able to," Maurer said. "And one of the other things they need to be aware of is if they get into those areas it might be difficult if they run into trouble for someone to come in to get them just because of access issues."
Maurer says the additional downed branches and trees from Sandy provide a plentiful fuel source for a potential forest fire. And he says from now until May is actually the worst season for brush and forest fires.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Going to Isreal
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — There's a sense of urgency as the U.S. tries to help contain the latest Middle East bloodshed and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is headed there to see what can be done. Clinton hastily left Cambodia and summit meetings with Asian leaders. The White House said she would make three stops, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Palestinian officials in the West Bank and Egyptian leaders in Cairo.

MISO inserts for M1A/M14
Has anyone ever used these and how well do they work on a full XTC?
You might also want to run this in the vision sub-forum.
I would also like to know if anyone has used this.
Wolley is using one. Shot his M1A across the course last Sunday using the MISO sight for the first time. I'll wait for him to articulate his experience with one.
I got one of the first ones sold in June and installed it on my National match M1A. It worked so well for me that I installed another on my Garand, and a hood kit on my AR. I am near sighted and wear bifocals. At 59 years old I had the "water spot" problem with all but the standard service rear sight and a blurry front sight on top of that. Just installing this insert picked my scores back up twenty points the first time out. On the negative side, you do lose some brightness from your sight picture so I had to learn to adapt to that. It has not been a problem on the M1A with a .595 aperature. The AR hood kit comes with a standard for that rifle .040 aperature which I found too dim for me on a cloudy day. I changed that out for an .046 insert and that solved the problem. My "water spot" is still there, but very much fainter, and actually now helps draw my eye to the center of the sight picture. I had tried other lens inserts in the past, but was not satisfied with them. On my service rifles I use the rectangular sight aperatures from "Shooting Sight" with great results. One other thing to take note of is the MISO insert only works with a post front sight. It will NOT work with any other style of front sight. Best wishes to you!
Have used the lens in hood combo for several years. Use to be marketed by a fellow known as Bob Jones(perhaps he still does offer them??) and they do help for those w/ vision issues. You can specify the magnification and don't know for sure now, but have one which is amber in color. Helps me on overcast, dreary light conditions. Key thing is seeing that post very clearly w/ best possible contrast against the target face and the lens works for me.
I bought the AR style hood kit. My M1A has had it's sight drilled and tapped for a 1/4-32 hood.
Rifle21 is spot on with his evaluation.
I use a Microsight in my ARs. Those and the MISO have a very similar sight picture improvement.
The differences are;
The microsight gives a better post but takes target clarity away to the point that shooting at 600 can be an issue.
The MISO has a noticeably sharper target image but the post is not quite as crisp as the microsight.
The Microsight is hypersensitive to alignment. It has to be absolutely and perfectly perpendicular to the rifle and the target.
The MISO does not have this limitation and can be used with the M1/M1A.
I like and feel like it was worth the price.
Now a comment on the NM M1A sight. Ditch it and get a 1/2 minute disc.
Drill and tap the rack for an AR hood.
.008" of sight movement is 1moa on our rifles. Typically most of the NM sights have at least .004" slop in the hood.
Thanks to all. I just ordered one will see how well it works for me.
Well it came in today. Took about 5 minutes to install. No place to shoot right now but sighted it at some distant objects. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!! I feel like my eye is 19 again. Now to go shoot it in match next week. This ought to be fun!!!
Just a quick question.....are the 1/2 minute discs CMP SR legal?
Eagle 1
Thanks! Who supplies them? Fulton?
Got 1/2 minute discs on all my match prepped M1 and M14 types. Fulton and Creedmoor Sports carry them.
If you do try the 1/2 minute disc don't try superglue. It won't work.
I tried it.
Bite the bullet and use epoxy.

text: Anyone still have one of these installed? I've got at least 7 recall notices on this that they want to remove it and give me $100. compensation. They claim that it could start a fire (melted reservoir canister). Always keep the reservoir topped off and have been using it for almost five years, works great in the Winter to take off ice and even in the Summer to take off hardened bug goo and it works just fine. Love it too much to get rid of it and its $100 toward a trade should I desire to get rid of it.

James Cameron's "Avatar" is now in its fourth week topping
the box office, with a worldwide gross of $1.3 billion and a $429 million domestic gross challenging the previous record of $800 million
held by Cameron's previous movie, "Titanic." But a shrill note of protest is
growing. Not about aesthetics, of course, but politics. They range from
accusations of racism to
condemnations of its depiction of smoking,
but the most virulent -- and ironic -- of these criticisms come from rightwing
commentators that accuse the film of being anti-American.
No less a pundit than "The Weekly Standard'"s John Podhoretz describes
it as "Anti-American and Antihuman" -- two subjects which, along with movies, he
knows nothing about. At the Breitbart website, critic Jim Nolte elaborates:
"Think of 'Avatar' as 'Death Wish 5' for leftists. A simplistic,
revisionist revenge fantasy where if you freakin' hate the bad guys (America),
you're able to forgive the by-the-numbers predictability of it all and still
get off watching them get what they got coming."
Unsurprising perhaps, so why ironic? The beneficiary of all this
ill gotten moolah derived from virtual American blood is 20th Century Fox , ie, Rupert Murdoch -- just in case you were wondering why Fox News pundits
like Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck weren't first in line foaming at the mouth
against the movie.
Hypocrisy? Perhaps, but the bottom line is profit. It's not
enough that James Cameron has utilized the most advanced cinema technology to
make a film denouncing technology. But ithe film's supposed left wing ideology serves
only to fill the coffers of a right wing media mogul. As Syracuse University
professor Bob Thompson, quoted in Steven
Zeitchik "LA Times" blog, points out: "'People
are receptive to this message of anti-corporate imperialism. But they're
receptive to it precisely because of a big corporation's brilliant marketing

SANDY, Utah — Real Salt Lake had plenty of lineup changes for their final MLS regular season contest against the Vancouver Whitecaps. The 0-0 draw saw many new faces on the pitch for the home squad, but according to coach Jason Kreis, that wasn't the original plan.
"(We) didn't rest as many guys as people think," he said. "Over the last 24 hours or so, I had a very clear plan of what the lineup was going to look like and it changed drastically.
"The only decision that we made that was clearly a resting situation was Will Johnson," Kreis added. "Everybody else had an injury or something that we needed to consider whether we were willing to take the risk of having them further injuring it in the last match and be unavailable for the playoffs."
The defense in particular had a different look as both center backs Jamison Olave and Nat Borchers were not on the 18-man roster. Kwame Watson-Siriboe and Chris Wingert manned the center, while Kenny Mansally got the start at left back where Wingert normally played. Even more unusual was the presence of Kyle Reynish in goal for the ever-steady Nick Rimando.
"I look at the back four, plus-one, and we had one player playing out of position. We had another player (Watson-Siriboe) who hasn't played in the last month, who is still a very young center back. We had Kenny Mansally playing left back and he hasn't played in a couple of months in a real game. We had Kyle Reynish playing goalkeeper, who hasn't played a real game in — I can't remember when, and I think all of them performed very, very well tonight."
RSL's offense has failed to score in their last three games, but the defense has been steady, posting shutouts in four of their last five games, including three straight. So despite changes, the "new" guys continued the trend.
"I thought it was a big accomplishment for four new guys to play together to get a clean sheet," said Reynish.
Individually, each of the three took away pretty much the same general feeling.
"I think I did OK," said Watson-Siriboe. "I thought Wigert and Tony (Beltran) probably covered some for me, but it felt good to be back out there contributing."
"I feel great getting back in the starting lineup," said Mansally. "It was great to get the start and be able to get out there and prove myself again. I thought I played pretty well. I got forward and played good defense. I just hope I can get more chances here to prove myself."
"it's always nice… to get a little bit of confidence and a clean sheet," Reynish said.
When the playoffs begin next week with RSL either hosting Seattle or traveling to the Emerald City, the lineup may revert to the norm, but if called upon, the next man up will be ready.


text: Waxist began his love story with vinyl records as a young teen, while he was listening to a lot of reggae music. The thing then was that majority of real & tough Jamaican music was only available on vinyl record. At the time living near Lyon, south eastern France, he used to visit Reggae Jam, which was one of the best Jamaican record shop in France (yet short-living) conducted by François Droguet, one of the best French connoisseurs in Jamaican music! As long as he was exploring reggae music, he entered in contact with a lot of other music styles, notably because I lived in the city of Vienne, where a great Jazz Festival happens each summer. Jamaican music, with its multiple influences, opened him up to Jazz, Soul, Funk and Disco. Another big influence in this sense came from DJ GOOD..Waxist's biography Waxist Musician

fabulous gallery
Your paintings are absolutely stunning! The textures you achieve and creativity you pour into them astonish me! Keep up the good work~
it's perfect!
realy nice
beautiful gallery! keep it up!
i love love love your work!
Vey nice gallery! I Love it very much!
Woah, I'm stunned with your gallery!
Are you by any chance illustrator of some children's books? I would buy a few with no doubts! My nephew is 6 years old, and I'm sure he would love to read such beautifully illustrated stories! Your works drag in that fairy world of tales and bring the smile on face. You have incredible touch for originality.
In a way those pictures make me think about brothers' Grimm tales and Andersen's tales, but the same time I am not able to recognize any exact story out of them. For example Parasol reminds me Alice in Wonderland (you remember the fuss that her tears created?), Tree of life has some unspecified link to some legends that I read as a child and Secret of the forest brings to my mind Polish folk-story about boy who's chasing after fern flower. On the other hand A ghost's advice makes me think about Aladdin from The Book of One Thousands and One Nights (it's quite clear why ), The king and his puppy about King Matt the First and sister about Mei and Satsuki from Tonari no Totoro. I could count that way endlessly, the number of mental-links and diversity of them surprise me.
So uhm... as I said I love the originality you put in your works, but also some sense of awkwardness, there's something queer in them, but... so positively queer! Like Adult conversation - I fell in love with description: The adult man quarrels with the adult horse, how bizarre!
I would love you to discover the story behind the pictures, saying a few words about what have inspired you. I know that we all have imagination and we all can do some links without your help (even missed ones), however I'm always wondering what thought, what story or what picture light a fire for creating something so extraordinary.
I'm subscribing here as your devoted fan, watch you (it would be pure pleasure to observe your new works).
And again... MARVELOUS GALLERY!
Looooove this gallery!!!
beautiful...it makes me happy just looking at them
it feels like i am lost inside the fairytale and i love it!

The Undergraduate Program in theology is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for reasoned reflection on their own values, faith, and tradition as well as on the religious forces that shape our society and world. A broad liberal arts discipline, theology encourages and guides inquiries into life's most meaningful issues.
The major in theology has proved to be excellent preparation for careers and professions requiring careful reasoning, close reading, clarity in written expression, the ability to make ethical decisions, and a broad understanding of cultures. It provides a solid background for graduate study in the humanities and for such professional schools as medicine, business, and law. For those wishing to pursue a career in academic theology, ministry, or religious education—increasingly, these are lay persons rather than seminarians and religious—theology, of course, is still a prerequisite. Many students now also elect theology as a second major or as minor to balance and broaden their education and to provide perspective on other disciplines in the natural or social sciences and the humanities.
The Theology department boasts a large, internationally known faculty with expertise in areas as diverse as biblical studies, church history, systematic theology, theological ethics, pastoral psychology and comparative theology.
The major curriculum in Theology incorporates both structure and flexibility. Majors take a combination of essential, required courses and electives from within and outside the Department of Theology. Programs are designed in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
For more information about specific requirements, please contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Brian Robinette.

Wow! I would take just 3 shelves of fabric...you have inspired me to save more & organize! curious where you get your cards? and are those standard size shelves?
I have been dying to create a sewing studio, but I keep telling myself, " wait for retirement." My fabric is all over the house! Boy it would nice to have it located in a single location. How do you protect your fabric from dust?
Nice organization...my stash is in clear boxes and dresser drawers
Wow! Great tutorial!
I love seeing a well organized space! What material are the boards made out of??? LOL - just kidding. Every time I read that question I laughed. I have a very small room that I am taking over for my sewing space and your room has been a huge inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing - you are the rock star of neatness!!!!
I am just in the process of organising my fabric. Thank you so much for posting the tutorial. I shall get cutting card to use as bolts. It is like having your own quilt shop to go and shop from your stash. Your fabrics are beautiful.
Nice organization! One question ~ in post #4, what is the white thing you are holding in the last picture?
Thanks for the tutorial! And I love dog :-) I have a white Maltese, Sissy.

GET THE LOOK: Romantic Curls by Errol Douglas for Moroccanoil UK
Kristian Aadnevik's Fall/Winter 2014 line at London Fashion Week was inspired by the Eurasian country of Georgia and its "electric character and synthesis of culture," according Aadnevik.
Moroccanoil UK Stylist and Éire Brand Ambassador Errol Douglas designed hair accordingly; the hair combines textural themes that reflect Kristian Aadnevik's Gothic leanings but also allows for understated softness and voluminous elegance.
STEP 1: Prep hair with Moroccanoil Treatment from mid-lengths to ends, and comb it through. This creates shine and manageability.
STEP 2: Work a palm-sized amount of Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse through the roots at the front and the crown of the hair and a similarly sized amount of Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse to the roots at the back of the head and brush through using the Moroccanoil Paddle Brush.
STEP 3: Blow dry the hair.
STEP 4: Take medium-sized sections starting at the back of the head and spray each section with Moroccanoil Heat Styling Protection. Wrap hair around a heated styling wand for 10 seconds, then spray the curl with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong and leave to settle and cool. Make sure that the hairline sections are curled up and away from the face.
STEP 5: Once all the curls have cooled, comb through the hair with fingers sweeping the hair to one side across from the parting to create height.
STEP 6: Fix in place with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong and finish the look with a light mist of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray for extra definition and shine.

Bernardi, Higgs, Lyons, Pascale, and Judges Honored
WYKAGYL, NY - The Iona College Athletic Department held its 30th Annual Goal Club Hall of Fame Golf Outing on Monday, June 6, 2011 at Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle.
More than 140 golfers came out in support of Iona College Athletics on one of the nicest days of the year so far to play one of the more challenging and beautiful courses in the country. After the golf portion of the day was complete, the evening's dinner brought over 220 guests to celebrate and honor the induction of Mr. Joseph A. Bernardi '58, Ms. Alison N. Higgs '05, Mr. Patrick G. Lyons '96, '00MS, '04MBA, and Mr. C. Ronald Pascale '71 into the Iona College Goal Club Hall of Fame. The Goal Club Hall of Fame is the ultimate athletic honor bestowed by the College.
The Hall of Fame Dinner also included the presentation of the Donald E. Walsh '66 award. This award is presented annually by the Iona College Goal Club to an individual who has demonstrated loyal support and service to Iona College Athletics through exceptional volunteerism. This year's award was presented with great honor and respect to Mr John J. Judge '71 & Mrs. Monica L. Judge '70.
The Iona Hall of Fame Golf Outing and Dinner directly benefits the Iona College Goal Club, which is the fund raising arm for Iona's 21-sport athletics program. The donations received from the Hall of Fame Golf Outing will help support scholarships, equipment and other essentials needed to keep Iona College at the forefront of Division I Athletics. Through the support of the community, alumni, families and friends of Iona College, the Goal Club has enabled us to make great strides within our athletic programs.
On behalf of the Athletics Department and all of the student-athletes who will benefit from the generosity of the many people who supported our golf outing, we thank you!
The Athletic Department would also like to recognize their sponsors for their continued and generous support of this event.

Date of Stay: January, 2016
This RV park is quite lovely and the surrounding area is beautiful, as well. I personally found the office staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful..some of the best customer service I've encountered in 15 yrs of traveling. Although the nightly rates can get expensive they do offer a Good Sam discount. If you desire a permanent/long term spot you will need to call the office each morning to see if a site opened up overnight. The park also offers a well-stocked store onsite, and park rangers provide security 24/7. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
Membership Only Campground - However do call if you are a member of any type of RV Club, (Good Sam, Escapees), etc., as they accept several clubs. This is a secure gated community that offers several activities (pool, lake, tennis, etc). The park is well maintained with a great staff. Grocery stores nearby. A lovely park and will definitely stay here when in the Chicago area.
Date of Stay: February, 2012
Great park for the value. We stayed here for 2 months and our nightly rate reflects the monthly rate with water and electric usage. The facility is well managed. For example, when we needed propane they came to our site to retrieve the empty bottles, and then installed them when they returned. Overall, a well run park. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
We camped here for two months so we had a monthly rate which is less than the posted rate. This is a small, quiet, campground with gas, groceries, etc only 5 min away. The owners are nice and helpful. There aren't a lot of sewer sites, so we stayed in an electric/water for approx 2 weeks (the owner will pump out your RV once per wk),until a site with sewer opened up. This was a very easy, pleasant place to stay and we would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: January, 2011
Excellent campground. Very easy on/off I-75. Campground was all paved, level, very clean, easy hookups, and office staff was friendly and helpful. Flying J and TA truck stops were only 1 mile away. I've yet to rate a campground a 10, but this was the first. Beautiful park and would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
Nice, well-kept park. Most sites are long term. Offers fishing lake, pool, kids playground, laundry, and church on Sundays. We were here for several months and paid a monthly rate. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: February, 2010
This is a well kept, older trailer park. The location is convenient to everything. The Manager is really nice and goes out of her way to help. The park is quiet and we felt safe. We would definitely stay here again. We paid $380 per month.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
We enjoyed our stay at this campground. It is family owned and the owners are always working around the property to keep it nice and clean. The sites are close together and are gravel, but the area is well maintained. We would definitely stay here again. The owners were great.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
The person who previously reviewed this campground in 2003 described it to a tee. The only other thing I could add is that you receive 2 TV channels, and it's intermittent. After the first week, we purchased a Dish receiver from Radio Shack. The TV issue, along with the dirt road (it rained a lot while we were here) were the only real issues. There aren't many RV parks around the area to choose from.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
A place to stay temporarily if you can't find anywhere else. It's an old KOA with an older trailer park on the site as well. Would not stay here for an extended length of time. Also, the price is way to high for this type of campground.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
A lovely and quiet place to stay with lots of shade. There is a stream for fishing in the park and a nice large pool in the back. The owners are nice and helpful and keep the campground well maintained. Pets are welcome. We camped here in a fifth wheel for 2 months and enjoyed it very much. FYI-They do not accept credit cards.
Date of Stay: February, 2008
This is a nice campground, although it's a little difficult to find the first time you go into the fairground. There are no amenities on site and it's not paved, however, we always enjoy our stay here. The camp host is nice and helpful, and it's a great place for the pets.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
Nice, clean, and quiet family-run park in the country. Sites are not paved, but well kept. The owners are nice and helpful and the office has a small supply of RV items. We were here for 3 months.
Date of Stay: March, 2007
A typical California large-city type campground. Sites are extremely close together, but park is clean & well-kept. Very convenient to the ferry and San Francisco. Office staff are friendly and helpful.
Date of Stay: February, 2007
Convenient, quiet park.

Feat of Clay
Twenty years later, Marilyn Woods is once again up to her elbows in clay - and loving it more than ever
After almost four decades working with ceramics, Oregon City artist Marilyn Woods is ready to have a little fun with the clay.
'I'm not doing this to make a living - thank God,' she said, while getting ready for this weekend's First City Arts Faire at her studio. 'I did that at one time - I don't anymore.
'I'm not trying to sell the most pieces I can,' she said. 'I could make different pieces - and sell more - I don't want to. I want to make the pieces I make, and if they sell, great.'
Woods is one of the dozens of artists - many of them local - taking part in the big annual fair at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Like many of the artists, she hopes to do well at the popular summertime event - selling her art and meeting new customers. But that's no longer the main reason she creates her quirky, eclectic pieces using a variety of techniques.
She indicated a dusty, streaky, smoke-fired vase: 'Someone could say 'I want another piece like this' - well, forget it,' she said. It's a process that's impossible to standardize through mass production.
'I like the fact that they're all different - it gives each one an element of uniqueness.'
A career in clay
Woods started making pottery in the 1960s; she said she suddenly had an epiphany while visiting a friend in Los Angeles.
Woods already had an art degree - she majored in dress design - but she said it 'didn't stick.' While in LA she was shown some popular red-clay pots from Mexico. They were hot - and impossible to import.
'I looked at them and said 'I bet I could make these.''
She bought clay and books on the process, and found a place to fire them - teaching herself as she went along. 'One thing led to another and I had a business.'
She worked as a potter while living in Chicago in the 1970s.
'I would make little wall weedholders,' she said. 'I could pump out whole bunches of them, and they sold really well. Probably my claim to fame what that I made jigsaw puzzles - I sold every one I made, and I got so tired of making them. My husband now wants me to make them again - I said 'never in this lifetime.''
She did that through the 70s, and did well, but 'I had three kids who needed to go to college, and you can't do that making pots.'
She learned about computers, and had a successful second career, moving to Oregon City in 1999 after retiring. Her husband suggested she try her hand at ceramics again.
'At first I wasn't thinking about getting back in it,' she said, 'although I had kept my wheel, my tools, my glaze recipes. My wheel didn't get turned on for 25 years - it still works, thank God.'
With a little urging from her family she started making pottery again - but with a difference.
'This time around I'm doing more experimentation - and more fun things,' she said. And I think my work is better than it was then.'
Freeform and unique
Although she still has - and occasionally uses - that potter's wheel, it isn't her main tool.
'I don't make a lot on the wheel,' she said, 'because so many people in Portland use them - there's not a lot who do handbuilding.'
Her most popular pieces are handbuilt - like the hollow nude torsos she painstakingly builds up from a patchwork of different-textured clay panels. The simpler pieces she makes - like the few bowls she turns on her wheel - are just a stage for her to experiment with glazes.
She calls the vast collection of raw glaze materials that occupies a wall of cubbyholes in her studio her chemistry set. 'You have recipes,' she said, 'you alter them, you test them with different combinations.'
Her studio is a spacious series of rooms located on her property in a rural neighborhood off Beavercreek Road. In addition to the collection of glazes and shelves of ceramics in various stages of completion she keeps a library of textures - shells, rocks and hand-made rollers and stamps for manipulating clay.
She pointed out a set of drab-looking unfinished pieces streaked with glazes that look gray before firing.
'I was just having a heck of a good time, putting glazes on top of glazes in a painterly manner,' she said. The ceramics are destined for a Raku firing.
'We'll see how they turn out - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good.'
Raku is one of the special techniques she uses to produce one-of-a-kind works. Large kilns - she owns one of those too, as well as an electric kiln for preparing ceramics for glazing - are heated to 2,300 degrees and allowed to cool slowly.
She built her small, Raku kiln herself. It's designed to be heated quickly to 1,800 degrees. The lid comes off, and the pottery is placed - blazing hot -in a can filled with combustible material: 'Straw, sawdust, newspaper - something that's going to burn.'
A tight lid goes on the can.
'The flames become starved for oxygen,' she explained. 'So it pulls the oxygen out of the glazes - and you get these nice lustres.'
The gleaming, pearlescent finished Raku pieces look nothing like the dull gray ceramics that go into the kiln.
'You can't get that in a high-fired kiln,' she said. 'But it's much more unpredictable.'
The same is true of layering different glazes. 'You get some nice results - sometimes they blend together, sometimes they don't.' The colors change as the piece is fired: 'You have to close your eyes and imagine what you're doing.'
She wants to work more with those techniques - and an even more unpredictable one called smoke-firing.,
'You have no idea what you're going to get,' she said. 'You put it in a hole in the ground with sawdust and wood and combustibles… you cover it up and light it, and let it burn down.'
The smoke itself makes the streaked, dusky patters on the finished pieces. 'You never know what you're going to get.'
And that's just the way she likes it.

The Maori Party has selected South Auckland "stalwart" Rangi McLean to replace Pita Sharples as its Tamaki Makaurau candidate in this year's election.
It also chose educationalist and Susan Cullen as its candidate for Hauraki Waikato.
Party President Naida Glavish said Mr McClean was "a stalwart of South Auckland. He has lived in the heart of the electorate for over forty years and has held a number of governance roles in the electorate".
"I have known Rangi for a long time. He is an outstanding candidate and is regarded as an authority on tikanga and Maori cultural matters" said Mrs Glavish.
Tamaki Makaurau electorate co-chair George Ngatai acknowleged Dr Sharples.
"He has represented us proudly over these last nine years, and we are pleased that we have selected a candidate in Rangi who can and will build on the foundation that he has laid in Tamaki Makaurau."
Meanwhile, Mrs Glavish said the party was "extremely proud" that Ms Cullen would be representing the Maori Party in the Hauraki Waikato electorate.
"She is a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and staunch Maori woman. Susan has been a strong advocate for Maori education, particularly focusing on access to education, and the provision of culturally attuned education options for a diverse range of New Zealanders."

New Bill Aims to Increase Financial Literacy Among Florida Students
Published February 25th, 2014
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE -- With studies showing nearly half of all students in Florida lacking basic money managing skills, legislators in Tallahassee have filed a new bill designed to improve students' knowledge of basic finance.
House Bill 367 would require every high school student to take what's being called a "financial literacy" course before graduating.
This comes after a study by the state Council on Economic Education found that almost half of all high school seniors in Florida lack a basic understanding of common financial issues.
"I was fortunate, I had some parents who taught me some basics about finances," said State Representative Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, who supports the bill. "I did get a basic understanding of that [from my parents]. I didn't get that in school."
But Karen McCann, president of the Alachua County Education Association, says the lack of financial classes can be attributed to the state's recent push to focus on FCAT testing.
"Currently, a lot of the life-skills type classes, where you learn about money management, have been done away with because the focus now is on teaching FCAT reading skills," said McCann, who says she is neither for nor against the bill as it stands right now.
Since the bill was filed last week, a number of issues still have to be worked out, including which teachers will be allowed to teach the course and how they will be certified.
The annual 60-day legislative session will begin on March 4.

A day after April 20 last year, genre-splicing artist Kid Cudi announced he would quit smoking marijuana, citing the neglecting of his daughter, business, and the more important things in life. With the release of "Just What I Am" last month however, Cudi set tongues wagging once more with an electronica-tinged track on his yearning to get, "Higher." "Just What I Am" will appear on Cudi's upcoming Chronic: 2001-inspired album Indicud, with the cut's artwork releasing today and featuring the artist gazing forlornly from a suitably elevated location. Listen to the track below and stay tuned for more news on Indicud and tracks from the record.

The park sits on an island. The park contains 94 campsites with electric and water hookups and a dump station and some tent sites. Some sites are max 30 amps, some 50 amps. We could not determine a pattern. Also beware that some sites have shared utilities, whoever gets there first, gets the 50 amp plug. And the utilities were on the wrong side for us.
During our stay we found the bath houses are kept clean. Roads and pads are paved and each has a lantern pole, picnic table, sitting area and fire ring. Sites vary in size and levelness. The campground is hilly and the road in is narrow, but doable in a big rig. No WiFi, Verizon service strong. You can hear a train, but it never was so loud it woke us up. Also sharing the island is a 18 hole, nice golf course and marina and boat ramp. The pool is no longer in use and is now just an eyesore. - cincychic

This is a wonderful park that we enjoy staying at, on an island in Lake Cumberland. Most of the sites are down in the trees with a few open and sunny. Some sites have an electrical box that has to be shared, with 50 amp and 30 amp for whoever gets there first. Easy to access laundry facilities. Lots of shopping about 10 miles to the North in Somerset. The only downside with this park are the never ending train whistles, and we love trains. Burnside is actually listed as a top place to watch trains, in some railroad books, but it's a major crew changing point and there are whistles all night long. We usually have to have the windows closed, fans on, even earplugs, to get a good nights sleep. The Stearns scenic railroad is also about 25 miles to the South. It is a beautiful resort State Park however, with a huge marina nearby. The sound from the train seems to travel from the large bridge across Lake Cumberland,down the water, to where the park is. - elduque

We got to campground on a saturday evening. It was busy, but still had plenty of empty spaces left. When we looked at camp map online we thought we were getting a spot towards the rear of the campground and when we got there it was a spot up front. It was decent, but right up on another campsite. We had to share electrical box with next campsite and it looked like some of the other sites were like that also. Great campground if you are in a group or owned a boat for sure. We hiked some trails in the area, but drove some to get to them Our site we used 50 ft of water line to hook up and basic for electric. Overall the staff was friendly and helpful to us. We stayed in a 21' travel trailer and will stay here again if we get a chance. - kycamper02

The price increase of $50 (to $210) per week makes this park a much less favorable place to stay. We've stayed here many times in the past. There are several other parks in the area much less expensive. I was disappointed at the number of very loud motorcycles here this time. Park seems to be moving towards more long-term residents. No trees so excellent satellite reception. - davedopp

A nice clean campground near Woodson Bend. Management very friendly and helpful. Very quiet. Relatively level sites, mostly gravel with some grass spots. I would stay there again. - coolz4

We stayed here for the month of September and we had a great time visiting the area and making new friends. It is a beautiful and spacious RV Park, and very well maintained. The restrooms and showers were clean and spotless. Everyone at the RV Park was friendly and social. We would recommend this Park to everyone who would like to visit the Lake Cumberland area. - joanne hitch

Nice campground. Very quiet, no playground. Has beautiful views of Lake Cumberland from every site, but no access except boat ramp (no swimming) and stairs at far end of campground. Water up, lots of trees and trash floating by shore, but some families swam off the steps anyway. Really good swimming spot not far at Pulaski County Park. Basically in downtown Somerset, great location. But, really steep hill to get to it, and if you meet someone else towing, narrow road. Would not go back just because of the hill and lack of good access to water for swimming. I have a 16 year old, 30 ft class A, and was not comfortable with the hill. One weird thing, the water and electric are at what I would consider the front of the site, in this instance, on the lake side. So, if I had backed in as expected, my door and awning would have faced the road, not the nice view. So I pulled in forward and used extensions. Believe most of the sites are like that. The dump is at the top of another steep hill. By the time you are at the dump, your vehicle is headed back downhill. I dumped at General Butler State Park, not far from there. $3, and totally flat. - solo woman

Mostly lakefront, but not lake access sites. You gotta drive to a loop at the end of campground and turn around back towards gate in order to back into site. Sites mostly level. Dump station is the cockeyedest set up I ever seen. It's up a short steep hill which can only be approached from outside the gate. Most units must be parked slightly down hill in order to dump. Fairly decent CG once you get past the traffic flow and dump station set up. I would not recommend it for long trailers or 5th wheels. We in a 30-footer and it was near maximum turning length for the roads. - ebaldy

There is a very steep, windy hill to go down to the campground. Be careful of boats coming up and the reverse on exiting. Most sites have at least a view of the lake. All sites are gravel with a fire ring and water and electric only. Some sites are up a steep hill by the shower house. This is also where the dump station is located. Large campers cannot get up the hill. The showers are old with timed water but clean. A button has to be pushed frequently to get the water to flow. Some visitors are very inconsiderate and leave their cars and boats on the road with little room for campers to get through to their spots. The host and volunteers are very nice. - DisneyGirl

U.S. Army Corp of Engineers campground on the Cumberland Reservoir. Newly remodeled sites. For a remote camping experience with boat ramp to the reservoir close by, this campground can provide it. Water and electric only, gravel sites. A dump station is on site, but requires some tight maneuvering to back into position. Roads to campground are narrow, paved, curvy and hilly. Quiet campground, with a host couple on site. Reservoir, with water on 3 sides. There is a newly equipped modern playground and some picnic tables around. But, not a lot of places to hike near the campground. The road out of the campground goes up a long, steep hill. We were visiting nearby relatives whose cabin was 3 miles away. Camped 3 nights. No TV reception. Some cell phones will work, Sprint will not. - BobbyH

Clerk at registration office too slow, taking about 20 minutes per person, even with the waiting line growing. Extremely congested parking when you wait to register, you have to partially block the road as traffic goes inches by. No one to take us to campsite, had very hard time locating campsite, hard to read map & site numbers not visible from road, had to get out and hoof it to locate site. Commodes in men's restroom dirty. Grounds nicely mowed but some trash that could have been picked up, also trash at vacant sites. - rdkeith

There are two areas in which one can camp at Conley Bottom Marina. One area has a full service hook-up plus cable. The other area houses both primitive and RV sites with electric and water. The Sassafras area offers full service and the sites are spaced further apart than the ones in the main campground. Conley Bottom is in the process of replacing old electric boxes and water spigots which have added to the aesthetic of the camping sites. Both camping areas offer a beautiful view of Lake Cumberland. We enjoy camping there from April to October but our favorite time to camp is during the Halloween Campout. Most campsites decorate for the occasion. There are also "extras" during this time such as the chili cook-off, a golf cart parade (the only time golf carts are permitted), and live entertainment. - 2emsmom

I stayed for a reduced price in their off season. I was the only camper in the W/E loop, but there were several in FHU area. Level, shady sites overlook several boat mooring buildings and the marina with store, cafe, and restrooms. Looks to be a busy place during summer. Well maintained and everything in working order. I used the on-site laundry. - T

Sites very close and very small. Water and electric hookups while there, are between 50 and 75 feet from pad. We have a 24.5' 5vr - and the 30' pad really was 21', and the back end of the trailer would've been left hanging and unsupported over the cliff. Perhaps a great site for very small TT, popups and tent camping - but not suitable, at all for other than that. Great camp hosts and friendly folks. - KB Farms

The park however smaller than most parks in Kentucky, has a lot of fantastic nearby features. The campground management and staff are incredibly nice and go out of their way to insure your stay is great. Stunning hiking trails and beauty. Each campsite is shaded by trees. There is only a single lane running through the park, so backing a big rig in is a challenge. But, its worth the extra effort. - Jeffyork40

The 7 is due to the fact the staff is not totally up front with the site information. I have a 30 foot trailer and the woman who gave me the site info on the phone said I would fit on the site she suggested because of the distance from my second axle to the rear bumper. For most sites, there is a cliff after the parking stop so your rear stabilizers are flapping in the breeze. I had site 28 which is the only "safe" site for a trailer this size. I had to park my rig sideways on the pavement in order to make it comfortable for me. Sites 28, 29 and 30 seem to be old sites with old tent sites behind them and they just made three sites out of six. They actually tried to put a 36 foot travel trailer on a site that was 24 feet long. Staff was very nice but just young kids inexperienced with camper sizes. Horseback riding stables on site, pool is down the road and a fee is charged even if you are camping ($2 PP). There is a very small camp store with the absolute minimum necessities. Lodge is also down the road, and the falls are even further down the road. Unless you are an avid hiker, you can't walk or even bike to any of this due to the hilly roads. This is a great tent/popup campground. Dump station is easy to access and is actually sloped a bit toward the dump. They should all be like this. - Wydglide

This was our first visit to Holly Bay Campground, and boy were we pleased with this campground! The campground is very spacious and heavily forested throughout - to the point of barely seeing the campsite next to you. Laurel Lake borders nearly three sides of the campground, but with the woods all around, it is hard to see the water from the campsites. The good thing is that there is a gorgeous, shaded hiking trail that goes down and around part of the lake.
This has become our favorite campground to visit as it is the most scenic, clean, and quiet we have been to. - Mcoffman
