Clearfield Progress (Newspaper) - August 20, 1966, Clearfield, Pennsylvania SOME OF THE FISH killed in the West Branch of the Susquehanna River at Clearfield yesterday are displayed by these youngsters from left: David Fenton, 10; his brothers, Ron, 7; and Denny, 9, and Fred Evans, 12. THE FISH DISPLAYED in the picture at left were snared by the boys as they waded into the river near the Clearfield County Jail. ALIVE AND DEAD fish can be seen in this picture taken at the boating launching area in Lower Witmer Park at Clearfield. The edge of the launch is visible at the left side of the picture. At Clearfield ... State Continues Fish Kill Probe The State Department of Health today continued an investigation into a fish kill on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River at Clearfield. The kill, apparently confined to the immediate Clearfield area, was the second within the month. Upwards of 3,000 fish died at Curwensville during the first week of -- August.

Turkey Hit By Quake; Toll High Ministry Estimates Deaths at 3,000; Villages Destroyed ANKARA, Turkey (AP)-Rescue workers today counted nearly 1,000 bodies of victims from the catastrophic earthquake that ripped across eastern Turkey Friday and officials said the toll probably will go far beyond 3,000. The number of known and estimated dead rose by the hour as army and civilian rescue learns fought through the rugged, mountainous back country of (he quake-stunned area lo reach destroyed villages and towns. Officials reported many thousands injured. The full fury of the quake Friday afternoon hit the town of Varto, a community of 3,000 inhabitants. "It can be said thai nothing remained of Varto," a Turkish Army officer reported from the. scene. The Turkish Interior Ministry earlier had expressed belief the quake, which leveled dozens of other villages, might have taken 1,500 lives. Civilian officials at Varlo said 816 bodies had been recovered in that area alone and they estimated that at least 3,000 persons had perished in the surrounding desert of rubble left by the killer quake. They said scores of villages around Varto had been wiped out. A Turkish radio reporl said many inhabitants were buried under the wreckage, including Please Turn to Page 10, Col. 4 There was no estimate of how many fish were lost at Clearfield yesterday. Harris G. Breth, a past president of the Old Town Sportsmen's Association, said he counted at least 100 dead fish every 50 feet for the length of a city block. He and Jack Straley, chairman of the association's fish committee, expressed regret over yesterday's incident. They said that in their opinion the State Health Department and the Pennsylvania Fish Commission should undertake complete responsibility for determining what happened, how it happened' 'ancT what 16 do lo prevent future fish kills. Mr. Breth said he walked a portion of the river Lank this morning and said the bottom along the edge was literally lined with fingerling bass and bluegills. He said the bass were the young of bass stocked in the river by sportsmen last fall, but lamented that the entire crop was probably wiped out. Warren S. Merrow, sanitary engineer from the State Health Dcoarlment's regional office at Williamsport, said the kill appeared to be limited lo the still water backed up by the lower dam at Clearfield. As far as he could determine he said there were no dead fish above the Hyde bridge. Continuing, Mr. Merrow told The Progress today thai the fish apparently died of a lack of oxygen, noting thai persons in the vicinity of lower Witmer Park observed fish surfacing for air yesterday. At 7 p. m. he said the dissolved oxygen content was measured at between three and four parts per million. Three parts per million is considered Aussies Hunt N. Viets By .TOHN CANTWELL SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) - Australian infantrymen hunted remnants of a North Vietnamese battalion 40 miles southeast of Saigon today after battering the Communists with artillery fire and killing at least 227 of them. Gen. William C. Westmoreland, U.S. commander in Viet Nam, called the Aussies' action a "significant victory." Over North Viet Nam, U.S. pilots pounded oil depots in the left the area exploding in flames, the U.S. military command said. Elsewhere, the ground war was relatively quiet. U.S. troops reported little or no contact. At coastal Qui Nhon 280 miles southeast of Saigon, 800 fresh troops of the U.S. 1st Air Cavalry Division came ashore today, raising the total of American manpower in South Viet Nam to 297,000 men. The new troops moved immediately to the division's central highland - head- southern panhandle Friday and. quarters at An Khe. Westmoreland sent a congratulatory message to the Aussies for their battle of Thursday night when they hurled back a human-wave attack by perhaps as many as 1,000 Hanoi regulars.

CHICAGO (AP)-Civil rights leaders are under a court order restricting the scope of open housing demonstrations, which have been marked by violence in all-white neighborhoods, but Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said marches "probably will be resumed Sunday as planned." "We are prepared to put thousands in the street if need be," he said. Circuit Judge Cornelius J. Harrington issued the temporary restraining order Friday at the request of the city of Chicago and Police Supt. Orlando W. Wilson. His order limits the number of demonstrator; to 500, permits only one march a day, only during non-rush hour daylight periods and requires that police be given 24 hours advance notice of any demonstration. The city's complaint, filed at the direction of Mayor Richard J. Daley, accused civil rights Three Injured In Two Mishaps One person was hospitalized and two others less seriously injured in two of three traffic accidents in Clearfield County yesterday and this morning. Edwin D. Ross, 36, of Wood- been land, was admitted to the Clearfield Hospital late yesterday afternoon with head, nose and neck injuries suffered when his car crashed into the guardrail fence along Route 322 about four miles east of Clearfield.

It said that "major civil disturbances erupted" in June and July "resulting in damages in excess of several million dollars to private property, the death of 27 persons and injury to 374 persons, including 61 police officers." The reference to 27 deaths apparently covered all killings attributed lo racial tensions in the city. No violent deaths have reported during the marches into white neighborhoods in support of open housing. Two persons were shot and killed during riots on the West Side in mid-July.

They also changed the convention dates from the third week of the month to Aug. 3, 4 and 5 to coincide with that community's sesquicentennial celebration. Orville L. Holland of Huntingdon was elected to succeed Philip P. Saylor of Bellefonte as the Cenlral District president. Re-elected to office were: Donald P. Lingafelt, Hollidays-burg, secretary; J. Stevens Bair, Altoona (a former resident of Philipsburg and Osceola Mills), treasurer; and J. Rex Bloom, Curwensville, chaplain.

Watl Street was wrapped in gloon. over high interest' rates, tight money and the possible fate of business and the economy later in 1966 and in 1.967. The market fell sharply every day. But there was no panic, no rush to sell. Volume did pick up to 32,632,260 shares from 28,411,-250 the week before. It was the largest since the week ended June 25, when 35.7 million shares changed hands. Many of the most profitable glamor stocks in electronics, office equipment, photography and airlines were hit hard. Blue chips in all categories gave ground, resulting in stiff losses to the averages. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks fell 13.3 to 289.0. its lowest since Jan. 20, 1964. This was its worst weekly loss since the week of May 26, 1962, when it fell 16.3 in the worst weekly drop on record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 35.91 this week to 804.62. This was its lowest since it dropped to 800.31 on June 8, 1964, and its worst loss since the same 1962 week when it declined 38.82. On the "Black Monday" of May 28, 1962, the AP average fell 13.4 and the Dow Industrials For First Flights By NEIL GILBRIDE WASHINGTON (AP) - Jet planes of five major airlines prepared to wing skyward today after machinists ended a six-week strike that profoundly shook the administration's economic policy and gave Congress its biggest political scare in years. "The strike is now over," said President P. L. Roy Sie-miller of the AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists after militant union members voted 17,727 to 8,235 to accept a lucrative new contract and end the worst airlines - walkout in U. S. history. Big Three Will Discuss Pay Proposal By WIIITEY SAWYER DETROIT (AP) - Againsl a background of unrest among skilled tradesmen over work orders and wages, aulo industry representatives meet Monday with the United Aulo Workers on a proposal thai skilled workers be granted an immediate pay raise. The UAW's contracts with the Big Three - General Motors, Ford and Chrysler - don't expire for another year. The union wants lo reopen the agreements to negotiale a wage increase. The industry is expected to reject the proposal, which comes as it is beginning production of 1967 models. Ford Motor Co. said 195 of 285 skilled workers on the day shift Shortly after the vole was announced, spokesmen for the five airlines - Eastern, United, Northwest, National and Trans World - said some flights would be taking off early today. The contract approval sending 35,400 strikers back to work permits Congress to drop politically explosive legislation that would have ordered strikers hack to their jobs for the first time in U.S. history. Organized labor had lined up solidly in opposition to the legislation. But it shatters White House guidelines designed lo limit wage hikes to 3.2 per cent a year and sets a precedent for other unions to cite in pressing for fatter paychecks. Estimated at a 6 per cent or more annual increase, the new contract gives 15 per cent in wage hikes over three years plus a cosl-oMiving guarantee against sharply rising prices worth up to 6 cents more per hour in the final year of the agreement in 1968. This means top-rated mechanics, who have been receiving $3.25 an hour, will be paid at least $4.08 an hour within three years.

(AP) -President Johnson, stumping across New England in campaign style, said today achievement of full rights and opportunities for Negroes "will avail us nothing if our society is torn by violence and discord," "We are, after all, one nation," Johnson said. "It is our destiny to succeed or fail as a single people - not as separate races." The President turned to civil rishts and racial rioting as he began the second day of his five-stale tour with an address ax a convocation at the University of Rhode Island.

Dylan Hartley, England's senior player, last night faced up to the prospect of being left out of the match of his dreams.
Hooker Hartley has never played against New Zealand in the country where he was born and raised and where his family and friends still live.
This was supposed to be the tour on which he finally achieved that long-held ambition. But Northampton reached the Premiership Final which made him ineligible for the opening Test.
And in his absence understudy Rob Webber went so well that head coach Stuart Lancaster is poised to keep faith with the Bath player for Saturday's do-or-die middle Test in Dunedin.
"This is where I hail from and I'd like to give a good account of myself in front of people who don't get to see me play," Hartley said.
"I'd like to perform, to make family and friends proud, to leave the country with my head held high.
"But Rob took his opportunity, he played well and I wouldn't be surprised if Stuart stuck with him."
Lancaster faces the toughest team selection of his career, whether to stick with those who came so close to getting a draw at Eden Park - or twist and call for the reinforcements.
Recalling the likes of Owen Farrell, Tom Wood and Danny Care (if fit) is a no-brainer, but Billy Vunipola, Courtney Lawes, Billy Twelvetrees, Luther Burrell and Hartley are no longer the certainties they were on Saturday morning.
Should Dylan Hartley start in New Zealand?
England toyed with the idea of switching Manu Tuilagi to the wing to free up a slot in midfield, but I understand have decided against it.
Hartley, who has 55 caps, insists he will not feel hard-done by if Webber, with just six, gets the nod and he, through no fault of his own, has to settle for bench duty.
"That's the way it works, I understand that and if it was the other way around I'd expect it," he said.
"You slip up, you give the other guy an opportunity. In my case, slipping up was having to stay behind and play a game. But if I can get a bench role, that's cool. It's about what's best for the team."
The 28-year-old knows personal goals have to be put to one side if England are to shed their bridesmaid tag in the coming days.
"It's about laying down a marker, like we did at the weekend, that we're not cannon fodder, we're not here to lose," he said. "We're here to really challenge these guys."

I didn't know where to post this, so here goes. Can you change the computer to read a different fuel pressure? I read on a website that a person lowered his fuel pressure in his car and gained 14 DYNO PROVEN horsepower. Now the main question is, he lowered his pressure to 36 PSI and that brought his Air to Fuel ratio in the "normal" range. He didn't state what the normal range is supposedly, however the computer saw that (that he lowered the fuel pressure and the Air to Fuel ratio changed) and it corrected it back to factory stock programming. I want to know what he REALLY did. I mean, by lowering the fuel pressure, he corrected the Air to Fuel ratio mechanically. Can you do this with tuning? If so, it must gain you power. He also mentioned what n0dih mentions in his tuning by going MAFless. He talked about getting his blm's (Block Learn Memory?) as close to 0% as possible. Now, being a novice tuner (just got my computer, cable, and tunercat software with $EE definition file), I want to know if gaining this much power is possible with a MAF sensor. If not, I can go MAFless and do it. Changing BLM's sounds pretty involved in tuning the fuel maps, but I want to gain as much power as possible. Please help a novice tuner out!! Thanks! I will have my cable next week, so let me know sometime. Thanks!

What is it like being the CIO of a large corporation that specializes in delivering solutions for other CIOs? NetApp's CIO Cynthia Stoddard sat down with The Cube hosts to talk about it at VMworld 2013. Wearing a VMware baseball jersey with AT&T Park in the background, Stoddard revealed some of the inner workings of NetApp's IT operations and how the company has adapted to the changes in the storage market.
Stoddard stressed that in order to survive the myriad of changes, an organization has to be willing to embrace the trend, be cognizant of how to keep the system running, and inspire those involved to take on the challenges of new tech and be able to experiment. If they cannot, they will end up with something that will not scale and will not be agile.
When asked what the winning formula was for someone in IT, Stoddard suggested they should focus on adding value to the business. They need to understand what the business challenges are and be able to look at the tech portfolio and pull out from it just what the business needs. Part of that winning mindset is to embrace the unknown and do not be afraid to look to the future and see what it can do for the organization.
She also recommended that companies wishing to push the envelope of innovation incubate those new ideas in playground or sandbox-like environments where the developers are free to experiment, but they should also allow others to peek in and try new things as well. NetApp's own internal cloud was born in this type of environment.
For NetApp, the way they handle people, process, and technology has been evolving. They have moved beyond thinking in terms of a silo and instead work as one team. The team must be able to sit in the seat of the end user and look at issues from their perspective. It is more about service than it is about technology.

Shivworks has just released the much anticipated Reverse Edge Methods Vol. II. I will be ordering it in the very near future.
For those who have not seen Vol. I, I would highly recommend it. This is some of the best ECQC knife work I've ever seen, and by far the best knife dvd that I own. I think the reverse-edge method is especially applicable for civilian self-defense because it is extremely effective with the small blades (3-4") to which most of us are limited.
For more info on the dvd's and the reverse-edge methods, check out www.shivworks.com

Date of Stay: August, 2011
Again--A nice campground with many well-spaced sites, good location, and one of the better Wi-FI services. BUT if you plan to take a shower in the bath house, be prepared. There is no way to control the temperature of the water--just timers on the wall. The water might be warm or cool or deviate as you shower. They used to have coin operated showers and replaced the mechanism with a timer but did nothing to the mixing valve. If you want a showering adventure, be prepared.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Grassy sites. We had a view of the small lakes on site. Clean showers, good Wi-Fi, close to town. A good choice for large or small RVs.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Nice park. Since it was designed in the 1960s make sure you request a larger site if you are over 35'. Good Wi-Fi, very clean showers, nice owners.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
The park is riverside, but if you have a large MH or fifth wheel with multiple slide-outs it would be best to request a larger pull-through. If you have small kids, pick a spot away from the river. If you have a dog, keep him on a lease and away from the grassy area near the river. That area is for the folks to view the river, not to get their shoes "fertilized." I would have given the park a "ten" if there was hot water available in the showers and if cable TV was available to the sites, not just the TV room. (The staff seemed a little indifferent about the luke-warm water in the showers two nights in a row)
Date of Stay: June, 2011
This was our third stay at Pagosa Riverside. It is convenient to town and the people are friendly and business-like. The road noise is barely audible especially if you are camped on or near the river. I highly recommend this campground.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
The United Campground provided ample room for my 33' motorhome with two slides. A big bonus was the free trolly that went to town each day starting at 7:00 AM. The only minus in the whole park--which is common in so many RV parks--is the moldy, soiled shower curtains. (All park managers should be forced to shower in their own RV park facilities once a week) The trains going through the middle of the park each day was a hoot.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
The people here are tremendous. The battery in my Jeep died and the owners drove me to the nearest place to get a replacement. Such service! Even though South Fork Campground does not have cable TV, there is plenty to do outside the RV.

Stalking Vol 2 The Bridge of Reason HTML version
"My point, which is a key consideration abo ut the concept of impeccable acts, is that we
choose everything that happens to us; there are no accidents. These choices include mass
agreements to experience even hellacious circumstances for our own development, over many
lifetimes. Have I lost you in your memories, yet?"
"No," I said petulantly, because she caught me drifting into my past.
Without commenting on my tone, she said, "In your experience, the Ethiopian famine was a
mass agreement to learn developmental lessons they had failed to grasp in less impressive forms,
at other times in their developmental history. Those people needed and chose an undeniable
lesson in order to move on at this great time of change, when the momentum of all events is
extremely high."
"You're not saying that we shouldn't have helped them?" I said, bewildered.
"Correct, I am not saying that. I am saying that those who died meant to die and those who
didn't were meant to live, just as those who helped them made a choice, and those who didn't
made a different choice. There is no judgment either way. There is only the energetic intent to
participate in any circumstance, which contributes to the momentum of similar events."
"Okay, but a month ago you said we shouldn't go to war, as in the media shouldn't cover
"As in no one should go," she corrected me. "I told you, peace simply 'is' if you leave it
alone. You can only further war by going to war in any capacity."
"But you included peacekeeping armies, as I recall," which I did because, for all of my
apparent failings I had a steel-trap memory. This is why I was rarely caught in a lie; before now.
"So that we are clear, are you asking me why we can provide relief in a famine, but not in a
"Sorry, yes. I hadn't formulated the question."
"That's a convenient habit you need to break."
"I… right, I understand."
"If a conflict is artificially ended," Bonnie tackled my question, "the reasons for it remain
intact, and you are postponing the inevitable because peace is not something that can be
imposed. It has to be sustained by the free will of the population, just as a country cannot go to
war without their agreement, be this silent or overt."
I nodded that I understood the principle: we all were in charge.
"The reasonable point of view is that Peacekeepers stop the suffering, but it is short-sighted.
Their temporary influence allows cultures and combatants time to sharpen their beliefs, and arm
their children with them, when a developmental lesson is to not follow in their father's
footsteps." She shrugged sadly. "The nature of the Peacekeeper's actions is to interfere with an
undeniable lesson—the end point manifestations of thoroughly crappy beliefs, which will kill the
combatant's, their children, and their children's children, until they finally understand what they
are doing. Logically, the impeccable choice would be to let them slaughter themselves as an
undeniably impressive lesson they have failed to learn in other ways. Then we can help the
survivors, who might know better the next time around."
"I get the principle. Still…"
"You are thinking about the innocents that still haunt you; that is your conformation to
reasoning imposing itself on the developmental overview." She touched my arm. "You needed
this experience to see the big picture when it was time, which is now." She removed her touch
and pursed her lips. "Part of what makes this your time is your awareness of the existence of
Spirit, therefore your own immortal status, and the ways mankind develops through cycles of

Table of Contents
A quality lawn results from using the right grass species and/or variety, proper planting and establishment, and sound management. Planting the right turfgrass for your site reduces the need for pesticides. The most important step for the homeowner is selecting the proper turfgrass for the situation.
Turfgrasses arc perennial, so arc expected to live indefinitely with proper management. Because of this, choose carefully from among the various species and varieties for each species. Turfgrasses that provide winter lawn color in most areas of Virginia are known as cool-season grasses. Grasses which go dormant after the first hard frost, and stay brown through the winter months arc known as warm-season grasses. The warm-season grasses generally need less maintenance as their water requirements arc lower, and their shorter growing season requires fewer mowings per year.
Turfgrass species will not perform equally in the different climate, soils, and management programs that are found throughout Virginia.
Northern Piedmont/Blue Ridge
For lawns of the Northern Piedmont and areas in and west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the cool-season species, Kentucky bluegrass or tall fescue, will produce the best year-around turf on home lawns. Other cool-season turfgrasses used for special purposes are fine leaf fescues (creeping red fescue, hard fescue, chewings fescue, and sheep fescue) and perennial ryegrass. Fine fescues have the best shade tolerance of all the cool-season grasses and arc often included in a mixture with various Kentucky bluegrass varieties. Meyer zoysiagrass, a warm-season species, can be used in light shade.
Southern Piedmont/ Eastern Virginia
In the Southern Piedmont and Eastern Virginia, tall fescue is the most commonly used lawngrass. Bermudagrass and zoysiagrass (warm-season grasses) are also adapted. If using bermudagrass, select a winter-hardy cultivar, especially if you live in northern Virginia or in an area with a higher elevation.
Return to Table of Contents
Purchasing Turfgrass
Turfgrass can be established by seed, sod, sprigs, or plugs, depending on the grass species and variety.
Certified Seed
The best guarantee of getting the specific variety or varieties of turfgrass is to purchase CERTIFIED SEED. It is a guarantee from the seller that you will get the variety of seed named on the label. Certified seed is generally available in 50 pound bags or larger. Some nurseries will sell certified seed in bulk from bins or smaller packages; the certified seed label should still be evident on the package from which seed is dispensed. Avoid purchasing varieties that are not adapted to your area.
Sod is rolls or pads of mature grass, cut out of the ground with approximately one-half inch of roots and soil attached. The sod is placed on a prepared soil providing immediate utility. Only high quality, certified sod should be used. Such sod will contain Virginia- Maryland recommended varieties which are free from noxious weeds and excess amounts of other crop or weed plants.
Plugs and Sprigs
Plugs arc small cubes of sod approximately 2 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Sprigs are stem fragments with young blades of grass and bits of root attached. Be sure to obtain fresh material that is not contaminated with unwanted weeds.
Return to Table of Contents
Turfgrass Varieties
The turfgrass species that do well in the different climatic areas of Virginia are shown as a shaded area of each map.
Virginia and Maryland Extension recommendations for turfgrass varieties change annually based on university performance tests. Check with your local Extension agent for the most up-to-date list.
Kentucky Bluegrass
A medium-textured turfgrass, it is best suited to welldrained soils and moderate to high levels of sunlight and management. It is established from seed or sod.
Mixtures or blends of three or four Kentucky bluegrass varieties are recommended in Virginia since they arc more likely to provide good quality turf over a wide range of management situations.
Tall Fescue
A moderately coarse-textured turfgrass, it is tolerant of a wide range of soil types and climatic extremes. Best suited to areas where low to moderate management levels are provided. It is established from seed or sod.
A warm-season grass of fine to medium texture, it will become dormant (turn brown) with the first hard frost in the fall and green up in late April or mid-May. It is not recommended at higher elevations due to its short growing season. Improved varieties are only available as sprigs or sod.
Perennial Ryegrass
Perennial ryegrass is a cool-season grass and performs best at higher elevations (> 1000 feet). The most common use for perennial ryegrasses is in a mixture with Kentucky bluegrass where the perennial ryegrass component is less than 15 percent by weight. A pure perennial ryegrass lawn is not recommended. Annual (Italian) ryegrass provides rapid germination and fast growth but is suitable only where a temporary turf is desired since it lives for only one year.
A warm-season grass, bermudagrass varies in texture depending on the variety. A bermudagrass turf Will go dormant (turn brown) with the first hard frost in the fall and green up in late April to mid-May. Best adapted in the Southern Piedmont and Eastern Virginia, it is not recommended for higher elevations. It can be established from seed, sod, plugs, or sprigs; however, some varieties cannot be seeded and must be established vegetatively.
Return to Table of Contents
Favorable Growing Conditions
- Soil 6 to 8 inches deep that allows good root growth by supplying adequate water and nutrients
- Soil pH of approximately 6.2
- Adequate moisture (1 inch or more water per week)
- Temperatures appropriate to the species selected
- Adequate nutrients
- Appropriate level of sunlight
- Properly adjusted and sharp mower
- Adequate air movement
If any of these conditions are not met on your lawn, corrective action should be taken before attempting to establish turf. If it is difficult to grow turf, consider planting a nonturf ornamental or use some other type of ground cover.

Date of Stay: April, 2009
This is the most tropical resort we have ever stayed at. Our site overlooks the water on the Oceanside with a dock to swim off of and a Tiki Hut to sit under with side panels down to keep the wind off. It is just spectacular, even with the $105 plus tax per night. During this time of year, you can reserve 7 nights and get one free. Well worth the money. Nice doggier area and sites are separated by foliage. Staff is very pleasant. Will definitely come back again.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
Older park with many trees. Roads very narrow but able to navigate with our 40 ft. and tow. The office was very pleasant. We were pretty well checked in with the info. from my phone reservation. We had a paved long pull thru for just overnight. They have dog walks, but are in the darkest areas of the park around ponds and woods. Still very workable for the dogs. We stayed there on our way down to Key West and will stay on our return trip.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly person, coffee, popcorn, newspaper and escorted to our paved pull-through site. With Wi-Fi and great cable TV all for the cash cost of $24. What a bargain for a clean, quiet evening off the road. There are large grassy areas to walk our 2 Corgis with a pretty lake to look at. This was a wonderful find and we will return again. Whether you stay a night or longer, this is a great park.
Date of Stay: September, 2008
We arrived because of Hurricane Ike on his way to FL. An abundance of trees, so any satellite use is a NO GO, but they do have the best cable. WiFi at our site works most of the time. Very fast when it does work. The site we have is a long pull-through with a pad for the RV and gravel for area in front of RV and behind and gravel roads. Small campground, most sites are permanent with LP tanks next to RV. Very quiet and friendly people in office and campground. I counted only 10 sites that were actually vacant for use for traveling RVers. This is a very safe haven to get away from hurricanes, since the Marine Logistics area is right in Albany, GA. They had the FEMA trucks parked there waiting to see where Ike will hit the US. They left yesterday for TX. They try to stay around 200 miles from where the hurricane is projected to hit. We camped with 2 Corgis. Will stay again if chased from FL.
Date of Stay: March, 2007
We were on site 42 which was in the row that is used the most for overnighters. The sites were very very close. Almost like being at a Rally. The entrance was on a slope with a rather large rock in the middle. After entering, it did become a much better road. The owner was very, very friendly. Our reservation was ready for us, as we had called 2 weeks prior to our arrival. We were billed on our credit card before our arrival, which I thought was strange. Usually only done at larger campgrounds. There were 6 motorhomes all about 40' lined up by evening for just overnights. All the RVer's were very quiet and conscious of how close we all were and respected one another. They had a very small fenced in yard for dogs. I have two Corgis who did enjoy the fence, but were used to a larger area to play in. Will stay again on our travels on I-10 thru that area. Very easy on/off.
Date of Stay: March, 2007
We had a 50 amp site on the last row for our 40 foot motorhome with tow. The electric/water hook ups were close to coach, but sewer need two lengths to reach. We had access to a large field to walk our two Corgis, which was nice. Very quiet one night stay almost empty campground. The check-in was simple and owner friendly. It was nice for an overnight stay. There is a 24hr. small truck stop right next door, but did not hear trucks coming and going. No trees to speak of, roads were dirt gravel and sites grass. Very easy to get to sites. Will stay again while on our way to Red Bay, AL.

Their TV characters enjoyed only a brief star-crossed affair, but Mad Men co-stars Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel are now happily engaged in real life.
A rep for Bledel confirmed the engagement to US magazine earlier today. No date has been announced for the wedding between Gilmore Girls alumna Bledel, 31, and Kartheiser, 33, who plays unctuous ad man Pete Campbell on Mad Men. It will be the first marriage for both actors.
An unnamed source told US: "Vincent proposed a few weeks ago. She's been wearing her ring. It's huge!"
In recent years, Kartheiser has been romantically linked to actress Rachael Leigh Cook, while Bledel dated her former Gilmore Girls co-star Milo Ventimiglia for three years.
On the fifth season of Mad Men broadcast last year, Bledel played the recurring role of Beth Dawes, whose fleeting affair with Kartheiser's married character ended badly after she underwent shock therapy.

First Aboriginal commissioned officer – Reginald Saunders
Friday 13 February 2009 by Garth O'Connell. 4 comments
Many thousands of Australian Aboriginals have enlisted and served in Australia's defence forces since 1901, and several have won decorations, but the first to be promoted to a commissioned rank was Reg Saunders of Victoria.
Reginald Walter Saunders was born a member of the Gunditjmara people, just outside Framlingham Aboriginal Reserve in the western district of Victoria on 7 August 1920. His father, Chris Saunders, and uncle, William Reginald Rawlings, had served with the first AIF. Reg was named after his uncle, who served in the 29th Battalion and was awarded a Military Medal for "displaying rare bravery in the performance of his duty … his irresistible dash and courage set a wonderful example to the remainder of the team". Reg grew to admire the military feats of both his father and uncle.
Reg's mother died in 1924, and shortly after her death he was taken by his father, along with his brother Harry, to the Lake Condah Mission, where he received his primary education. Reg did not like being away from his family and left school at the age of 14 to go to work as a mill hand in a timber yard.
As his father and his mates talked about the First World War, Reg listened with "ears as big as footballs, taking it all in". Listening to all this talk made Reg want to do the same. When he was given the opportunity to enlist in the Second World War, Reg and his mates "went in swarms" to join up.
Reg enlisted in the second AIF (2/7th Battalion of the 6th Australian Division) in April 1940. His outstanding leadership skills, personable character and sporting skills were quickly recognized by his superiors, as he was promoted to the rank of lance corporal within six weeks. Three months later, he was promoted to sergeant.
The first fighting Reg saw was in Libya, where he joined the battalion as a reinforcement; he took part in the continuing push to Benghazi, where he says he nearly died of fright. Then on 9 April 1941 Reg accompanied his battalion to Greece, where, under constant air attack, he took part in the fighting. The troops soon withdrew and made their way to Crete. On this trip, the ship on which he was travelling, the Costa Rica, was bombed and sunk. Reg managed to scramble aboard a destroyer.
Reg's brother Harry was now nearing his 18th birthday; in a hurry to enlist, he convinced the recruiting officer that he was old enough, and joined the 2/14th Battalion. Reg and Harry met up while they were camped near each other in Palestine and took leave together in Jerusalem.
In Crete, Reg again took part in fighting against air attack. This was another ill-fated campaign, which saw the British evacuated from the island. Reg was one of several hundred troops left behind. After almost a full year of hiding out – an easy task for Reg, who had dark skin and could easily pass of being of Mediterranean descent – they were secretly taken off the island by a British submarine in 1941.
Soon after returning to Australia, in August 1942, Reg was posted back to the 2/7th battalion and sent to New Guinea, where he proceeded to the Owen Stanley Range. "I preferred fighting in the jungle. You had more cover in the jungle. And, being a bush boy, I was at home in the jungle, because every time you ducked down you were under cover. In the desert, if you ducked down they'd just bounce bullets off you."
It was while Reg was serving in New Guinea that Harry was killed in action on the Kokoda Trail. It was also while he was in New Guinea that he was nominated for promotion to a commissioned rank – the first Aboriginal Australian to have reached this level of command in the Australian Army.
Reg was selected to return to Victoria and attend Officer Training School, at the Infantry Wing of the Officer Cadet Training Unit, Seymour. He graduated as a lieutenant in December, 1944.
On behalf of the Aborigines' Friends Association Adelaide, its secretary, Rev. Gordon Rowe, wrote him a letter of congratulations, to which he replied on 18 December 1944:
Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your kind wishes and congratulations.
My philosophy is that once a person undertakes to do something, no matter how big or how small, that person should do it to the best of his or her ability. Which may account for my very small part in helping pave the road to ultimate victory.
Many thanks for your book. Many of the people mentioned in it are very familiar to me.
You mentioned in your letter an attitude towards people of my race. I am sorry, but neither you nor I can change that attitude, because (the) changing of it rests with the Aborigines themselves, and my contribution towards helping them is just simply by setting myself up as an example – not by words, which are cheap, but by deeds.
Once again, Sir, I thank you, and wish you and your fellow workers all the best of luck.
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
(Sgd.) R. W. Saunders
Reg spent the remainder of the war as a lieutenant in charge of a platoon of up to thirty Australians.
Reg later served in the Korean War, where he was promoted to captain in charge of "C" Company of the 3rd Battalion, and took part in the famous battle of Kapyong in 1951. It was during this battle that the battalion was awarded a US Presidential Unit Citation.
After having fought the battle for Hill 317, Reg finally left Korea in October 1952, and resigned from the regular army in 1954. He moved to Sydney after the war and soon became the captain of his local cricket team and president of a sub-branch of the RSL.
In 1969, Reg moved to Canberra and took up employment as liaison officer at the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, remaining there until his retirement in 1981.
He was awarded an MBE in 1971, and was appointed to the Council of the Australian War Memorial in July 1985. Reg died on Friday 2 March 1991, aged 69.
A scholarship, established in Reg's honour by the RSL, was launched in 1992 for drug and alcohol abuse studies, and is aimed at students of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background. His medals and portrait are on display in the Korean War gallery of the Australian War Memorial.
Hi, My father was at OCS at the same time as Capt Saunders...as Off'r Candidates. My mother always commented how after the war, Reg only could get a job as a Tram Conductor. She met him often on her line. She always thought he was a total gent and how outrageous it was that that was all he could get. I was told this as a small boy... I may have the facts dates wrong...but not the name. He left a major impression on my dad and mum.
Michael Maley
It was sad to hear on the news today that a portrait of Reg Saunders at the Canberra Services Club was lost in the fire there this morning. I knew Reg Saunders as a golfer: he used to play at the Royal Military College course at Duntroon, ACT. In those days, back in the 70s and 80s, there were a lot of WWII and Korean War returned servicemen who used to play there. They all obviously liked and respected him very much, and I recall some who had known him in Korea saying that he was one of the truly outstanding officers they had encountered. He also had a splendid sense of humour, and an ability to laugh at himself. A great man, who wore his greatness lightly.
Jeff Mills
I had the privilege today of meeting Reg's daughters at a function for the 72nd anniversary of the battle of Crete!! Two lovely ladies. Proud moment to have met them and to learn of the part their Dad played in history!
Bill Richards
My dad fought in Korea with Reg, Reg was always called Reg so as not to call out a rank, the NKoreans could not believe that a "black man" could be in a leadership role, dad was digging a foxhole when Reg asked him if it was deep enough... Dad said he was digging a hole back to Australia.

British High Commissioner, Admiral Cecil, express condolences
British High Commissioner Louise J. Stanton has expressed her condolences at the death of former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff.
She also expressed the condolences of Rear Admiral Sir Nigel Cecil, the last Commander of the British Forces in Malta.
Ms Stanston said in her letter:
"My time in Malta has allowed me to understand just how influential a figure he was, whose legacy I imagine will continue to shape the Maltese landscape for many years to come.
"The response of the Maltese people over the past few days is, for me, the clearest indication of exactly what his contribution has meant to Malta.
"Of course there were occasional difficulties in the relationship between the UK and Malta during Mr Mintoff's time. However, this does not change the fact that, whether from a Maltese or outside perspective, he was the defining figure of the past 60 years, who leaves a lasting and significant legacy.
"He was undoubtedly a leader who acted wholeheartedly in the pursuit of what he believed was in the best interests of Malta," Ms Stanton said.
In his condolences, passed to Dr Abela through Ms Stanton, Sir Nigel said:
"I, the last Commander British Forces in Malta wish to pay my personal last respects to Mr Dom Mintoff, with whom I always enjoyed a good personal relationship during a politically very complicated last few years leading up to the final departure of the British Forces from Malta in 1979.
"We will always remember the good will shown to the British Forces in those days from the President, through so many of the people of Malta. All these factors made the final departure so much easier and all of us involved at the time are ever grateful."
Sir Nigel asked Ms Stanton to represent him at the State Funeral tomorrow.

Erik (also known as The Phantom of the Opera, commonly referred to as The Phantom) is the title character from Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera. He is also the protagonist and antagonist of many film adaptations of the novel, notably the 1925 film adaptation starring Lon Chaney, Sr., and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical.

Character history
In the original novel, few details are given regarding Erik's past, although there is no shortage of hints and implications throughout the book. Erik himself laments the fact that his mother was horrified by his appearance (causing him to run away from home at a young age), and that his father, a true master mason, never ever saw him. It is also revealed that "Erik" was not, in fact, his birth name, but one that was given or found "by accident", as Erik himself says within the work. Leroux sometimes calls him "the man's voice"; Erik also refers to himself as "The Opera Ghost", "The Angel of Music", and attends a masquerade as the Red Death (evidently Erik is familiar with Poe's famous short story). Most of the character's history is revealed by a mysterious figure, known through most of the novel as The Persian or the Daroga, who had been a local police chief in Persia, following Erik to Paris; other details are discussed in the novel's epilogue e.g. his birthplace is given as a small town outside of Rouen, France.
Born hideously deformed, he is a "subject of horror" for his family and as a result, he runs away as a young boy and falls in with a band of Gypsies, making his living as an attraction in freak shows, where he is known as "le mort vivant" ("the living dead"). During his time with the tribe, Erik becomes a great illusionist, magician, and ventriloquist. His reputation for these skills and his unearthly singing voice spreads quickly, and one day a fur trader mentions him to the Shah of Persia.
The Shah orders the Persian to fetch Erik and bring him to the palace. The Shah-in-Shah commissions Erik, who proves himself a gifted architect, to construct an elaborate palace in Mazenderan. The edifice is designed with so many trap doors and secret rooms that not even the slightest whisper could be considered private. The design itself carries sound to a myriad of hidden locations, so that one never knew who might be listening. At some point under the Shah's employment, Erik is also a political assassin, using a unique noose referred to as the Punjab Lasso. The Persian dwells on the vague horrors that existed at Mazenderan rather than going in depth into the actual circumstances involved.
The Shah, pleased with Erik's work and determined that no one else should have such a palace, orders Erik blinded. Thinking that Erik could still make another palace even without his eyesight, the Shah orders Erik's execution. It is only by the intervention of the daroga (the Persian) that Erik escapes. Erik then goes to Constantinople and is employed by its ruler, helping build certain edifices in the Yildiz-Kiosk, among other things. However, he has to leave the city for the same reason he left Mazenderan: he knows too much. He also seems to have traveled to Southeast Asia, since he claims to have learned to breathe underwater using a hollow reed from the "Tonkin pirates". By this time Erik is tired of his nomadic life and wants to "live like everybody else". For a time he works as a contractor, building "ordinary houses with ordinary bricks". He eventually bids on a contract to help with the construction of the Palais Garnier, commonly known as the Paris Opéra.
During the construction he is able to make a sort of playground for himself within the Opera House, creating trapdoors and secret passageways throughout every inch of the theatre. He even builds himself a house in the cellars of the Opera where he could live far from man's cruelty. Erik has spent twenty years composing a piece entitled Don Juan Triumphant. In one chapter after he takes Christine to his lair, she asks him to play her a piece from his masterwork. He refuses and says, "I will play you Mozart, if you like, which will only make you weep; but my Don Juan, Christine, burns." Eventually, after she has wrenched off his mask and seen his deformed face, he begins to play it. Christine says that at first it seemed to be "one great awful sob," but then became alert to its nuances and power, as the music was able to convey to her the misery he has endured throughout his life and the hope he finally felt for love.
Upon its completion, he originally plans to go to his bed (which is a coffin) and "never wake up," but by the final chapters of the novel, (during which Erik kidnaps Christine right from the stage during a performance), Erik expresses his wish to marry Christine and live a comfortable bourgeois life after his work has been completed. He has stored a massive supply of gunpowder under the Opera, and, should she refuse his offer, plans to detonate it. When she acquiesces to his desires in order to save herself, her lover Raoul (who, aided by the Persian, went looking for Christine and fell into Erik's torture chamber), and the denizens of the Opera, we find out that his part of the bargain was to take the Persian and Raoul above ground.
He does so with the Persian, but Raoul was kept "a hostage" and was "locked up comfortably, properly chained" in the dungeon under the opera. When he returns, he finds Christine waiting for him, like "a real living wife" and he swore she tilted her forehead toward him, and he kissed it. Then he says he was so happy that he fell at her feet, crying, and she cries with him, calling him "poor, unhappy Erik" and taking his hand. At this point, he is "just a poor dog ready to die for her" and he returns to her the ring she had lost and said that she was free to go and marry Raoul.
Erik frees Raoul and he and Christine leave. But before they do, Erik makes Christine promise that when he dies she will come back and bury him. Then she kisses Erik's forehead. Erik dies three weeks later, but not before he goes to visit the Persian and tells him everything, and promises to send him Erik's dearest possessions: the papers that Christine wrote about everything that had happened with her "Angel of Music" and some things that had belonged to her. Christine keeps her promise and returns to the Opera to bury Erik and place the plain gold band he had given her on his finger. Leroux claims that a skeleton bearing such a ring was later unearthed in the Opera cellars. [1]
Many different versions of Erik's life are told through other adaptations such as films, television shows, books, and musicals. A popular of adapted books is the Susan Kay novel Phantom, a fictional in-depth story of Erik from the time of his birth to the end of his life at the Paris Opera House.
For the most part, Kay's novel stays in context with Erik's life history as laid down by Leroux, however Kay (as explained in her Author's Note) changes and shapes the character to match her own vision, influenced by other adaptations besides the original. In addition, the ending/resolution is quite different from Leroux's. The story follows Erik through his entire life, starting with the night of his birth, and is told from different viewpoints throughout the novel (Erik's mother, Erik, Nadir/the Persian, Christine, and Raoul). Kay places the highest priority on portraying romantic aspects of Erik's life. He falls in love twice throughout the novel, but neither of these occasions truly end happily.
Yeston and Kopit
The theatrical songwriting team of Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit created a musical based on the story which investors backed out of after Webber's version became a huge hit. Erik is portrayed as much kinder and more sympathetic, and also with more of a sense of humor. His mother was a singer in the Opera and, having discovered that she was pregnant with an illegitimate child, swallowed poison. This is the reason for his disfigurement. He was born within the catacombs of the opera house and lived there his entire life. His mother died when he was a young child. His father, Gerard Carriere, was the manager and kept him safe all that time. Over the years, Erik became the creative driving force for the opera company. No artistic decision was made without Carriere seeking his approval.
It is implied that the main reason for Erik's attraction to Christine is that her astonishing voice and beauty remind him of his mother, the only person who was ever able to look at him with happiness. Yet when he finally brings himself to show Christine his face, she runs away. Christine feels intensely remorseful afterwards and when he is eventually cornered by the police, at the end of the play, she takes off his mask and smiles.
This storyline was also the basis for the 1990 miniseries starring Charles Dance, Teri Polo and Burt Lancaster as Carriere.
The Canary Trainer
In Nicholas Meyer's novel The Canary Trainer, Sherlock Holmes develops several theories as to the Phantom's identity. His first idea is that he is an employee of the Opera; however, when the Phantom's knowledge of the Opera becomes evident, Holmes then believes that he is Charles Garnier, having faked his own death. When Garnier's corpse is identified, Holmes then theorizes that the Phantom was Edouard LaFosse, the (fictional) assistant of Garnier who designed much of the Opera's interior and who allegedly died after a building collapse. Holmes theorizes that he did not die, but was merely disfigured and therefore took to hiding in the Opera. However, when Holmes finally confronts the Phantom, he claims that he cannot speak without his mask, as his mother forced him to wear it whenever he wished to speak as a child, and he is not Edouard LaFosse. Holmes therefore admits that he is not sure how true any of the theories or claims of the Phantom's identity are. The Phantom never provides a given name in the novel; he only tells Christine that his name is "Nobody" (a reference to the name Odysseus gave Polyphemus in the Odyssey).
Regardless of his identity, the Phantom in The Canary Trainer is much more unhinged and bloodthirsty than in the original novel or play. For example, when killing Madame Giry's replacement with the chandelier, he kills twenty-six others as well, just to ensure that he kills his main target.
The Angel of the Opera
In Sam Siciliano's novel The Angel of the Opera, Sherlock Holmes is brought in to solve the case of the Opera Ghost, and both Erik's and Holmes's stories unfold through the eyes of Holmes's assistant, Henri Vernier. Siciliano places Holmes and Vernier at several of the crucial scenes in Erik and Christine's relationship, and draws parallels between Erik and Holmes. Holmes sympathizes with Erik so much that after Christine leaves him, Holmes brings him back to England. One of the first people that Erik meets on his arrival is a blind girl with a fondness for music.
Phantom: Edge of the Flame
The Phantom, Erik, narrates Kristine Goodfellow's novel, Phantom: Edge of the Flame offering a parallel storyline which gives alternate explanations for the horrible deeds attributed to the Phantom.
In Goodfellow's novel, Erik is filled with disdain for humanity born from a lifetime of maltreatment due to a facial deformity. One night, he encounters a woman stranded on an isolated country road. It's obvious she's in danger so, he offers her a ride. Although filled with trepidation, Erik finds comfort in the pitch black darkness of the carriage. Because she cannot see him, he eventually converses with the outgoing American. His gentlemanly charm, impeccable manners and racy wit keep Olivia Weston entertained. They strike up an unusual friendship on the long drive to Paris in the dark.
Erik pursues Olivia in a series of clandestine midnight visits and moonlit excursions. After a lifetime of solitude, the complexities of a relationship confuse Erik. He misinterprets social cues, challenges commonly accepted norms and causes serious injury to another man because he feels threatened.
When three men attack Erik and leave him for dead, he hunts them down and shows no mercy. Reeling from this moral setback, he begins to doubt that he can ever change. In a surge of self-loathing, he kidnaps Olivia believing she is his only link to the outside world. This sets a series of events in motion with lethal consequences for anyone standing in his way.
Erik's deformity
In the original novel, Erik is described as corpse-like and is referred to as having a "death's-head" (human skull) throughout the story. He has no nose; eyes that are sunken so deep that all is seen are two skull-like eye sockets except when his golden eyes glow in the dark; skin that is yellow and tightly stretched across his bones; and only a few wisps of ink-black hair behind his ears and on his forehead. (His mouth is never described in as much detail, but is referred to as a 'lipless' 'dead mouth' by Christine, and Erik acknowledges that his mouth is abnormal when lifting up his mask to display ventriloquism.) He is described as extremely thin, so much so that he resembles a skeleton. Christine graphically describes his cold, bony hands, which also smell of death. Erik woefully describes himself to Christine as a corpse who is "built up with death from head to foot." According to the Persian, Erik was born with this deformity, and was exhibited as 'le mort vivant' in freak shows earlier in his life. Erik sometimes plays up his macabre appearance, such as sleeping in a coffin and dressing up as the Red Death for the masked ball.
Lon Chaney, Sr.'s characterization of Erik in the 1925 silent film remains closest to the book in content, in that Erik's face resembles a skull with an elongated nose slit and protruding, crooked teeth. In this version, Erik is said to have been deformed from birth. Chaney was a master make-up artist and was considered avant garde for creating and applying Erik's facial makeup design himself. It is said he kept it secret until the first day of filming. The result was allegedly so frightening to the women of the time that theaters showing the movie were cautioned to keep smelling salts on hand.
Several movies based on the novel vary the deformities (or in the case of Dario Argento's film, the lack thereof). In Universal's 1943 adaptation, a poor musician tries to publish his music, and then wrongly accuses the publisher Maurice Pleyel of trying to plagiarize his work. He then strangles the publisher and tries to retrieve his music, only to be disfigured when the publisher's assistant throws etching acid in his face. In the rock opera Phantom of the Paradise, Winslow (the Phantom character) gets his head caught in a record-press, while Robert Englund's horror-version has him selling his soul to Satan and having his face mutilated as a result. This version also has a gruesome variation on the mask, in which Erik is sewing flesh to his face.
In Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical adaptation, only half of Erik's face is deformed (thus the famous half-mask often associated with Erik's appearance.) His show was originally planned to have a full mask and full facial disfigurement, but when the director, Hal Prince, realized that it would make expression onstage very difficult, they halved the mask. The logo featuring a full mask was publicized before the change. The deformity in the musical includes a gash on the right side of his partly balding head with exposed skull tissue, an elongated right nostril, a missing right eyebrow, swollen lips, different colored eyes, and a wrinkled, warped right cheek. It originally took roughly four hours per performance to put the prosthetics on in the original London productions. On Broadway, it was cut to roughly three. More than one Phantom has described make-up disasters onstage. Michael Crawford recounts a story where he pulled away from the kiss at the end only to see that "[his] lower lip was now hanging off Sarah [Brightman]'s face!". To cover the flub, he pulled her back for another kiss and "took back the lips" and kept that side of his head turned away from the audience.
In the 2004 film adaptation, Erik's makeup was made to look much less gruesome than previous adaptations of the story. Instead of a skull-like face, his disfigurement resembles that of a mildly malformed face, which he covers with the mask and a wig. Film critic Roger Ebert noted that Butler was more "conventionally handsome" than his predecessors "in a GQ kind of way".[2]
Onscreen, Erik has often been cast as a tragic hero but also a tragic villain, depending on the film's point of view.

In March Electrified Vehicle Sales, Nissan LEAF Flies Above The Crowd
April 3rd, 2014 by Zachary Shahan
The Nissan LEAF continues its rise up the EV sales peak. It had over 1,000 more sales than the runner-up in March 2014, the Chevy Volt (which somehow ended up with exactly the same number of sales in March 2014 as March 2013). Of course, Tesla sales (aka deliveries) are not exact, but I've come up with the best sales estimate that I think I could. Check out all the details in this EV Obsession repost (and note that you can change between four charts in the interactive chart at the top):
The Nissan LEAF almost set a new monthly sales record in March, ending just 22 sales short of its December sales total at 2,507. Nonetheless, it was enough to crush the competition. The Chevy Volt ended the month with 1,478 sales, which happens to be…

Very clean well laid out. Friendly staff checked us in and showed us to our site. There is a far amount of noise from both the Interstate and a very active rail line across the road.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
The Park name has changed to Smoky Bear Campground. We started off planning on spending a week and ended up spending almost two. The park is very well kept up. The owners are extremely friendly and we found the park quiet and peaceful even when it was completely full.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
Very Shady Campground. Owners and seasonal campers all were very friendly. Close to State Parks. Good size lake and they have several different types of rental boats as well as nearby boat launch.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
We have been staying at this campground a couple weekends a year for several years now and find the people very friendly. There is plenty of activities both at the campground as well as nearby.

I've been using this product for past 3 months after being color matched at Ulta. I really like it. When I want full coverage, I use the concealer brush to cover my Rosacea on my cheeks and the bluish marks on my nose (from breaking it 4 times). Then I use the "full coverage" brush for overall foundation coverage. Lastly, I use the big plush brush for the Mineral Veil. I have severely oily skin and it holds up well (except for on the bottom part of my nose..but I don't think anything will work perfectly there). I have been in 80-90 degree heat lifting heavy stuff and my face does not "look red" at all..normally, my face would look like a strawberry. So for me, it works well. It doesn't feel or look cakey on me versus the regular make-up I would use.
Only con: It's probably just my skin..but I feel like I need to do a scrub treatment to get all the flaky skin off and moisturize my cheeks before using the primer & make-up.

French-German Summer School
Ecole Thématique CNRS
September 1-5, 2014
IGeSA Center, rue de la Douane, Porquerolles Island, France
Jean-Marc Bourinet, IFMA, Clermont-Ferrand, France
Carsten Proppe, KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
MNMUQ 2014 Summer School has now ended. The audience was composed of 12 lecturers and 65 participants coming from 16 countries.
We would like to thank all the lecturers and attendees for their participation to this summer school.
A big thank you also to all our sponsors which allowed us to offer all our attendees such an excellent opportunity to learn and discuss about advanced methods for uncertainty quantification: the French-German University (UFA/DFH), CNRS, Association Française de Mécanique (AFM), Institut Pascal and Ecole Doctorale Sciences Pour l'Ingénieur (ED SPI) from Clermont Ferrand.
The organizers, Jean-Marc Bourinet and Carsten Proppe.
Uncertainties play a central role in many engineering systems and physical phenomena. Quantifying the impact of these uncertainties on responses of interest has become an active field of research over the past few years in many disciplines such as structural mechanics, material science, fluid dynamics, geophysics, electromagnetics, telecommunication networks, chemistry, ...
The main objective of this summer school is to address the important mathematical concepts of uncertainty quantification and the related computational / algorithmic challenges arising in these numerous engineering and science disciplines. A specific focus will be placed on:
Participants will receive an overview of the most recent numerical techniques for uncertainty quantification and will be provided with illustrations of their use in various fields of application. This summer school will gather young researchers, leading scientists and engineers, and will offer this audience a perfect place to exchange ideas and develop cross-disciplinary discussions.
This summer school is mostly aimed at young researchers ( PhD students and postdocs ) starting their research in stochastic approaches. It also targets researchers and engineers interested in the development and the implementation of methods for uncertainty quantification.
As a prerequisite, the candidates are expected to have a basic to good knowledge of numerical linear algebra, numerical methods for PDE, probability and statistics.
All courses will be given in English.
