Oak Hill on Love Lane, formally Ten Oaks Bed and Breakfast, occupies the Clyde H. Ray Sr. house listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Clyde Ray Sr. was a prominent Waynesville merchant and banker, and fourteen year Mayor of Waynesville. He purchased approximately 5 acres on Love Lane in 1897. This marked the beginning of the legacy of the Clyde H. Ray Sr. Waynesville homestead. In 1898, he began construction of this beautiful home with a southern exposure, taking full advantage of the beautiful view of Waynesville. At that time, the finest hardwood lumber was available here in the Great Smoky Mountains. Much of it was virgin timber and Mr. Ray bought only the best grade available. The home took two years to build, and was finally completed in 1900. Only the finest of everything went into this stately home. Mr. and Mrs. Ray had thirteen children who all grew up in this home, making 224 Love Lane the Ray Family Estate. Many of their descendants still reside in Waynesville today.
Stone steps, which are still in their original location, led guests from the drive to the immaculate oak front door. The original cement sidewalks, beckoning guests to enjoy the grand porch, still remain. A brick springhouse was constructed about 20 feet from the house that is still standing. The springhouse served as a "refrigerator", keeping cool all the family's perishable goods.
The estate has been a showpiece since completion in 1900 and has been kept in pristine condition. The home remained in the Ray family until 1979, which explains it's adherence to the original design; original weighted windows and doors, intricate doorknobs and hinges. The sliders that operate the beautiful period transom windows are still functional. The original hardwood floors are in pristine condition, as are the three grand staircases and banisters. The original picture and dental moldings and window and doorframe moldings remain. In one of the bathrooms, even the claw foot tub and pedestal sink still exist! The old coal burning heat system and steam registers, although non-functional, still reside in the same locations. The 8 fireplaces and mantles that helped to heat the house in the early years are utilized today, but have been retrofitted with more efficient propane logs.
The home was purchased in December 2007 by Shell and Deb Isenberg, who took great pride in converting it back to a bed and breakfast. Tremendous credit also goes to Jack and Eleanor Suddath, who performed the original restoration in 1973 and opened the house as Ten Oaks Bed and Breakfast. Without their efforts, there is no question that this lovely home would not be in its current condition.
In March of 2016, Oak Hill was aquired by Tony and Darlene Blankenship. The Blankenship's are excited to continue to care for the home and the property and to offer the warm, inviting atmosphere and 5-star experience that guests of the inn expect and enjoy!

Fishing and hunting will capture the attention of the outdoors crowd this weekend. The bass fishing continues to improve and the spring wild turkey season opens Saturday morning.
As the results of last weekend's Clear Lake Team Bass Tournament showed, the bass fishing is rated good and improving. The fishermen in the tournament reported that bass are now moving into the shallows and beneath the docks. Plastic worms, jigs and even chatterbaits have been the lures of choice. In other words, the fishermen are finessing the fish. Both the north and south ends of the lake are providing good fishing. One pair of fishermen out earlier this week reported finding excellent action at Monitor Point and off Windflower Point. They said they caught more than 10 bass each day and all were caught by drop-shotting a plastic worm or rigging the worm on a shaky head.
In the north end of the lake, the hot spot has been from Adobe Creek to Long Tule Point. During last weekend's tournament the Adobe Creek area was loaded with fishermen. The trick to success is to retrieve the plastic worm super slow. The bass are gently mouthing the lure before swimming off. Live jumbo minnows also have accounted for a lot of bass.
By all standards the tournament was a resounding success. I didn't hear a single complaint and just about all the fishermen said they would return next year. The tournament director, Steve Moduno, did a great job. The Lake County Chamber of Commerce, Konocti Vista Casino and Resort along with all the other the other sponsors deserve a lot of the credit for the success of the tournament. The Konocti Vista Bass Team Classic is scheduled for April 5-6. The entry fee is $165 per team. Entry forms are available at all the local tackle shops.
The good news on the fishing scene is that crappie are starting to show up. Several bass fishermen report catching large crappie on plastic worms. Crappie are also being seen spawning in the shallows.
We all know that bass fishermen will pay just about anything for a lure, especially a swimbait. There is a rumor going around that a fisherman recently lost a swimbait near the Narrows and actually hired a professional diver to locate it. He offered the diver $400 for the lure that is no longer manufactured, but the diver couldn't find it.
Trout action at Upper Blue Lake is still rated fair. The lake hasn't been stocked in several weeks. There is still no word coming out of Lake Pillsbury. The lake was scheduled to be stocked the week of March 9. The lake is 75-percent full, which means there is enough water for fishing.
The spring wild turkey season open Saturday morning and it has become one of the more popular hunting sports in the state. The good news for local hunters is that Lake County offers an excellent chance to bag a gobbler. The hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to 4 p.m. each day. The daily limit is one bearded turkey and a total of three for the season. In other words, if you're on a three-day trip you can bring back three turkeys as long as you don't shoot more than one each day. In addition to a current California hunting license you must have an Upland Game Bird Stamp. Junior hunters aren't required to have the stamp but must have a current junior hunting license. Shotguns, archery and even pellet guns .177 caliber and larger can be used.
Lake County has thousands of acres of public land that hold a good population of wild turkeys. The Mendocino National Forest has turkeys at just about all elevations below 3,000 feet. For those who want the solitude of the backcountry a good bet is Tar Flat, located near Hull Mountain in the Mendocino National Forest. The turkeys in this area are Merriams, which are the mountain species and can be identified by their white-tipped tails. The Cache Creek Wildlife Area, located on Highway 20 in eastern Lake County, is an excellent choice for wild turkeys. Another good choice is the Knoxville Wildlife Area, located near the old gold mine out of Lower Lake.

The Case of the Missing Laptop
Tuesday, September 13, 2011 by cyberacoustics
So you've gotten the dreaded call from your child at college—hopefully it is a call and not a text message—with the bad news: dad, I've lost my laptop. Of course, you start asking a million questions on how this could have happened, but the fact remains: the laptop is gone. But it doesn't mean it's necessarily gone forever. Luckily, there's a lot of technology options available to you to try and get the laptop back.
First of all, think about filing a police report—you'd be surprised how many people assume law enforcement can't help in a situation like this, and don't file a report. Contact campus police (if applicable) or your local police department and let them know what happened. Even if they can't locate it right away, they can enter it into a national database for missing hardware. This way, if the thief tries to sell your laptop, and you've provided the computer serial number, an alert may be sent to the police, letting you recover the stolen laptop.
Your next step is to contact your local pawn shops, in case the thief tries to sell the laptop to them. Describe the computer, and provide the serial number as well. Most shops that are above-board will check with the police prior to agreeing to buy a used laptop, but it doesn't hurt to cover all of your bases.
Did you know that your insurance might cover the stolen laptop? Some homeowner policies will cover it if it was stolen from a dorm room, and your auto policy may cover it if it was stolen from a car. Call your insurance agent and file a claim—be sure to include all of the relevant information from the police report you've already filed.
In the meantime, take advantage of social media! Post on your twitter and Facebook accounts, letting your friends and followers know that your laptop is missing. Craigslist has a lost and found section as well—you could even get physical and put up fliers around your neighborhood or campus. Consider offering a reward for your stolen laptop—the greater the reward, the greater chances of you getting it back—and hey, it's all about the stolen data in the first place, right? It's hard to put a price on your memories.
Lastly, don't give up! Keep checking eBay and Craigslist for your laptop—the chances are high that the thief WILL try to sell it, so if it turns up online, you need to be aware of it.
I welcome any other tips that can be passed on, so please submit your comments.
-Steve Murphy, CA CFO

I lived it up for a while, but ultimately I lost in Monaco!
I had been in Nice for a few weeks taking french lessons and partying it up until I got VERY sick for a week. During that week, I felt like I was dying. If Ebola is worse than what I had, I am shocked! (I suppose 2 months of traveling, not eating right, and sleeping on beaches will do that to you…) During those hellacious days, I felt like I needed something to look forward to, so I booked a Ferrari rental in Monaco for the next weekend. Expensive, yes! But when you compare everything to the price of dinner in Manhattan – I just had to eat a couple meals at home to make up for it …And it was way more awesome! Read More

Daylight Steam Engine
In Stores
Most likely the most famous steam engine in the USA. One tender is for fuel oil and the other tender is for water.
This model is on http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/gallery/ Search for creation name Daylight 4-8-4
You Tube Video of the Lego Model running on track.
This would be great with Power Functions just like the Emerald Night. If you notice the front black steps in the first picture and not the picture above, that is because the 45 degree slope I used early on was not available in orange. My goal was to build this with existing parts but I usually buy Lego sets to get the special parts that no other set has. So a bunch of "Daylight Only" parts from Lego would add to the demand of the set. If I could request one special part assembly, it would be the nose and smoke box shapes to be as accurate as possible to the real thing. Lights would really add to the realism and the distinct steam whistle sound would be a great feature as well!
Every kid wants one of these...I know I do.
Cab photo with regulator, brakes, and gauges. The cab was enclosed because the oil was pumped into the fire box and so no need for the cab to be open to the tender. Side doors are a must for this model.
Sleek side skirts were the Daylight's trademark.

A host of former champions will try to reclaim their title at this year's New Zealand PGA Championship in Queenstown starting on February 28.
Michael Hendry is returning to defend his title at The Hills.
Hendry had a fantastic 2012, going on to win another three titles after his victory in Queenstown as well as racking up a number of top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour of Australasia and the OneAsia tour.
Another three Kiwi former champions will join Hendry in the field.
The 2009 winner, Steven Alker, is back after missing the event last year. Early last year, he showed how good he is with a top-20 finish at The Open Championship at Royal Lytham and St Annes.
The 1984 champion, Greg Turner, is back for a crack at the title.
The other former winner, Simon Owen, who is best remembered for his duel with Jack Nicklaus in the 1978 British Open (where he finished runner-up), makes a rare re-appearance in a professional event, which marks the centenary of the New Zealand PGA.
Last year's runner-up and former European Tour winner, Mark Brown, will be looking to go one better.
Other top touring Kiwis who will play this year include David Smail, Ryan Fox, Gareth Paddison, Josh Geary, Brad Shilton and Richard Lee, as well as Perth-based Michael Long.
Throw in Phil Tataurangi, who continues to ply his trade at home during a self-imposed hiatus from the American tournament scene, and Australian Peter Fowler, who many deem to be an honorary Kiwi having lived in Auckland for two decades, and there is reason to be optimistic of a winner from New Zealand.

The Phoenix Coyotes are riding high after defeating two of the Western Conference's elite clubs.
The Dallas Stars' schedule may give them a chance to string some wins together.
The Coyotes attempt to match their longest overall winning streak of the season and snap a long road slide when they face the Stars on Tuesday night.
Phoenix (24-21-8) went 3-5-4 last month, but has played much better since the calendar flipped to February.
The Coyotes opened the month Saturday with a 5-3 win over Pacific Division-leading San Jose, before stunning league-leading Detroit 3-1 on Monday.
"They're two good teams in the upper echelon of the conference and when you're taking points away from them, you're getting points that other teams aren't going to get," coach Dave Tippett said. "You look at those as very valuable points."
Phoenix, which used a late-season surge to reach the playoffs last season, may be in position to repeat that feat in 2011-12. The Coyotes are currently tied with Dallas (27-22-2) for ninth in the West, two points back of Minnesota for the eighth seed.
The Coyotes, who are seeking to win three straight for just the second time this season, may need to play better on the road if they are to catch the Wild. They're 12-11-4 away from home, where they've been outscored 20-9 during a 0-3-3 skid.
Center Martin Hanzal has three goals and two assists in his last three games, matching his point total from his previous 11 contests. He scored twice against the Red Wings to give him eight goals on the season - half his total from 2010-11.
Hanzal has not scored a goal in his last 17 game against the Stars.
Teammate Radim Vrbata has had better luck lately, with 15 points in 17 career visits to Dallas including four goals and two assists in his last six. Vrbata scored in regulation before missing his shootout attempt in the Coyotes' 2-1 road loss to the Stars on Oct. 10.
Phoenix is 1-0-2 in the season series, and has managed at least one point in the standings in 10 of its last 12 trips to Dallas.
Vrbata, the team leader with 24 goals, enters this matchup with two goals and three assists during a four-game point streak.
The Stars have won three of four including Saturday's 2-1 shootout win at home against the Wild. They have a couple of favorable matchups after this contest, visiting NHL-worst Columbus on Thursday before playing at struggling Buffalo the following night.
Kari Lehtonen figures to be back in net for Dallas after winning his last three starts with a 0.97 goals-against average and one shutout. He made 33 saves Saturday before stopping two of three Minnesota shootout attempts.
Lehtonen seems back in midseason form after going 3-7-0 with a 2.91 GAA in his first 10 games after returning from a groin injury suffered early in a 3-0 loss at Phoenix on Nov. 26.
"I think it took him a couple games to get himself back," first-year coach Glen Gulutzan told the Stars' official website. "The last three or four games he played, he was real, real sharp, so I think he's back to where he needs to be."
Lehtonen is 4-1-3 with a 1.91 GAA in nine career starts against the Coyotes.
Jamie Benn, who leads Dallas with 46 points, converted the deciding shootout attempt Saturday after failing to manage a point through regulation and overtime. The All-Star left wing has seven goals in his last 11 games versus Phoenix.

After last week's narrow escape against the Panthers, the Chicago Bears will be on their toes against another seemingly overmatched opponent as they visit the Tennessee Titans. The Tennessee offense has been battling injuries all season, but running back Chris Johnson has started looking like his old self, which is bad news for any opposing defense.
Johnson's not the only key player to watch in this contest, though. These three factors will go the furthest toward determining which team earns the win at LP Field on Sunday.
1. Can Chris Johnson get in a rhythm early?
Four out of his last five games, Chris Johnson has topped 90 yards rushing. Nobody's expecting him to match his 195-yard, two-touchdown showcase against Buffalo, but Johnson needs to establish a legitimate running threat to keep the Bears' turnover-happy defense honest.
Of course, Chicago won't make that an easy task, considering that they're still ranked No. 1 in the league against the run despite giving up nearly 50 yards over their average last week. The bet here is that after being made to look quasi-mortal by Carolina, the Bears will take out their frustrations by pummeling Johnson on Sunday.
2. Will the Titans find any kind of a pass rush?
A huge factor in Carolina's near-win at Soldier Field a week ago was the Panthers' ability to bring consistent pressure on Jay Cutler. Pass protection has been Chicago's biggest weakness all year, but Tennessee is ill-equipped to take advantage of it.
The Titans are tied for 28th in the league with a dreadful total of 11 sacks in eight games. Youngsters Mike Martin and Akeem Ayers have shown some promise, but promise won't keep Cutler from picking apart the Tennessee secondary.
3. Can anything slow down the Bears' ground game?
Neither Matt Forte nor Michael Bush is in a position to challenge for the league lead in rushing, but between them they have the Bears ranked ninth in the NFL on the ground. Chicago's ability to control the clock is a major reason for the team's hot start, and it's hard to imagine the struggling Titans changing that pattern.
Tennessee ranks 28th in the league against the run, having surrendered nearly 140 yards a game to opposing backs. Unless banged-up Colin McCarthy and his fellow linebackers raise their level of play in a hurry, Chicago is liable to make those run-defense stats look even worse by game's end.
Prediction: Bears 21, Titans 14
On the road against a running game on the rise, Chicago isn't likely to turn this game into a blowout, but the Bears have too many advantages to take their second loss here. Even if Cutler makes a mistake or two, the Bears will pick up another couple of turnovers and ride Forte and Bush to yet another out-of-division win.855196

Apple Bloom goes, reluctantly, to a book-signing event at the Ponyville library, and soon finds herself talking to the new author. When the conversation turns to getting a cutie mark, she learns a lot more than she expected about the stars, her ancestors, and the value of patience.
- ...
6/5 stars, no other way to describe this fic. Wish I could actually comment on something, but I'm stunned. Seriously.
Nice idea behind this one. Topped off with cuteness done well. Good job.
I was touched, I really was. The writing was fluid, the story fit together flawlessly, and the depth was inspirational. I commend you on a job well done, Jay Bear. Kudos.
Whoa, hold on, it was totally Leafy Nuts that invented calculus, not Falling Apple.
Thank you all for your kind words. This one definitely took a while, but I was really pleased with how it came out in the end, and I'm glad other people are enjoying it too.
Oh, wow, you won't believe how long I spent trying in vain to come up with a pony name for Leibnitz. Twenty internets to you, good brony.
This was amazing! I usually don't read a lot of pony fiction, but this kept me hooked throughout the entire story. I'd love to see more stories with this kind of emotion.
Well, it was ok... The majority of the story was just dialogues and beats, not enough narration, and the narration you had just didn't display the emotions very well. All in all, three out of five stars.
Holy hell, you made it into EqD. Somethin' i've been wanting to do for a while!
A perfect 5 star rating even after 29 ratings, Hmmm, I might just have to read this one.
I was not disappointed. The plot is great, there were few if any grammatical errors, and the whole story just felt like it would fit right into an episode of the show. This story deserves every star it's been given.
This story isn't just good fanfiction; it's excellent fiction, simply put.
I appreciate the hard work that you put into the writing. The story of Moondancer's cutie mark is wonderful! And that's an excellent use of Twilight's telescope...
Not the kind of thing that blows me away, thinking "wow, that was a great read" days later, but I can't find any fault with it. Simply enjoyable.
Lucky you, I read all your stories. This one was by far the best. Nice work with the OC, and it truly is a beautiful story, even if you did have to come up with all sorts of pony names for scientists(well done on that by the way). I hope you keep up with the writing, because these are really good.

A few years ago, Aditya Dutt made the hit movie Aashiq Banaya Aapne. Though the film lacked a decent story, it had a chartbusting soundtrack which probably was the only reason it became a success.
Now Dutt brings together a fresh cast featuring rising talents like Rajeev Khandewal (Rajveer), Shreyas Talpade(Aarav) and former supermodel Muzamil Ibrahim (Nikhil).
A TALE about friendship and marriage, the movie focuses on three bachelors who take a bet with a group of friends to win a huge amount of money. The one who outdoes the others in avoiding marriage is crowned the eventual winner. However, along the way their friendship is tested as Nikhil decides to take the plunge. Planning for the beach wedding is smooth until Nikhil's two friends fall in love with the same girl and a gangster arrives on the scene with a deadly threat.
DUTT has conceived a nice concept, but he loses the plot by introducing unnecessary subplots and relying on a lacklustre script. What should have been a fresh, breezy, light wedding entertainer impresses in a few scenes but comes across as a half-baked sexual comedy.
THE leading ladies, who include Celina Jaitley, Tripta Prashar and Mugda Godse, are poorly cast and their talents wasted. The three lead actors are far more pleasurable to watch, though Khandewal has the tendency to overact at times. Talpade is decent and reliable, while Ibrahim shows immense potential in his second released movie. Ibrahim, who made a fantastic debut in Dhoka, shows he can rise up in the ranks when working with filmmakers who are able to exploit his untapped talent.
THE saving grace is the music, which has taken a while to be appreciated in South Africa. The pick of the lot is Kalma and the haunting song of heartbreak Soniye, sung by Rahat Fateh Ali.
DESPITE some loopholes, there is a nice glossy feel to the movie which is provided by the exotic locations in Dubai and Bangkok. These are beautifully shot.
However, without this great camera work, the pleasant music and some eye candy for the ladies with Ibrahim, Will You Marry Me is a proposal that most will turn down.

U.S. Stocks Pare Gains Amid Rebalancing, Housing Data
U.S. stocks pared gains in the final minutes of trading before changes in MSCI indexes, offsetting a rally among homebuilders and technology shares. The Nasdaq Composite Index (CCMP) topped 4,000 for first time in 13 years.
Lennar Corp. and PulteGroup Inc. climbed at least 4.4 percent amid better-than-expected industry data. Apple rose 1.8 percent, pacing gains among technology companies. Tiffany (TIF) & Co. jumped 8.7 percent after profit topped analysts' estimates and the jeweler boosted its forecast. Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. 11 percent after Men's Wearhouse Inc. offered to buy the apparel company for about $1.54 billion. Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. fell 5.4 percent as the gaming company said it bought back all 12 million shares held by Icahn Group.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained less than 1 point to 1,802.75 after earlier rising as much as 0.3 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was little changed at 16,072.80. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.6 percent to 4,017.75, the highest close since September 2000. About 6.1 billion shares changed hands, in line with the three-month average.
"We've been riding a pretty good wave of momentum that's taken the market higher than most people had expected at the beginning of the year," Jeff Layman, chief investment officer of BKD Wealth Advisors in Springfield, Missouri, said by phone. His firm has $2.4 billion under management. "Much of that has been driven by multiple expansion, not underlying earnings growth. As we close out this year and get into 2014, that dynamic will probably change. We think it'll be a return to focus on earnings growth."
MSCI Changes
Stocks trimmed gains in the final 30 minutes of trading as investors sold U.S. equities to mimic changes in MSCI indexes that took effect at the close. Amendments to indexes can alter share prices as passively managed funds buy and sell stocks to mirror the benchmark gauges.
Apple, Oracle Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. are among companies that face the biggest decrease in weigdhting in the MSCI review, according to Societe Generale SA.
While the Nasdaq's rally today pushed it 261 percent above its low of 1,114.11 in October 2002, the gauge still needs to advance 26 percent before reaching its all-time high of 5,048.62, set March 10, 2000, during the dot.com bubble.
The S&P 500 traded higher for most of today's session, touching an intraday record of 1,808.42, as data showed the housing market sustained progress even as borrowing costs climbed.
Home Prices
The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values indicated home prices in 20 U.S. cities rose by the most since February 2006 in the 12 months through September. A Commerce Department report counted more applications for home construction issued in October than at any time in the past five years.
In a separate report, confidence among U.S. consumers unexpectedly declined in November to a seven-month low as Americans grew more pessimistic about the labor-market outlook.
"We're tending to move in a positive direction," Kate Warne, a St. Louis-based investment strategist at Edward Jones & Co., said by phone. Her firm oversees $746 billion. "We're getting data in a sweet spot. It's positive but not so positive as to raise worries about the Fed moving sooner and yet it continues to show that the economy is gaining some traction."
Policy makers have been scrutinizing data to determine whether the economy is strong enough to withstand a reduction in their $85 billion a month in bond purchases.
Fed Stimulus
Three rounds of Federal Reserve bond purchases have helped push the S&P 500 up more than 166 percent from a bear-market low in 2009. Four out of five investors expect the Fed to delay a decision to begin reducing the stimulus until March 2014 or later, according to a Bloomberg Global Poll on Nov. 19.
The S&P 500 has rallied 26.4 percent this year, challenging 2003 for the biggest annual gain since 1998, as economic data and corporate earnings have surpassed estimates. Companies in the gauge will report a 5.6 percent increase in profits for the current quarter and earnings will grow 9.9 percent next year, according to forecasts compiled by Bloomberg.
The index is trading for about 17 times its companies' reported earnings. While the valuation is at the highest level since May 2010, it's still below the multiples at the market's two previous peaks, when the ratio reached 17.5 in October 2007 and 31 in March 2000, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index added 0.2 percent today to 12.81. The gauge of S&P 500 options known as the VIX is down 29 percent this year.
Tech Rally
Three of 10 S&P 500 industries gained, with technology and consumer-discretionary companies climbing at least 0.4 percent.
Apple jumped 1.8 percent to $533.40, the highest since January. China Mobile Ltd.'s selling of iPhone will provide a tailwind to Apple's 2014 earnings estimates, according to Peter Misek, an analyst with Jefferies LLC.
Shares of Apple trimmed an earlier gain of as much as 2.4 percent as investors anticipated MSCI changes. Exxon Mobil slipped 0.9 percent to $94.27 while Oracle added 0.4 percent to $34.93 after rising as much as 1.1 percent.
An S&P index of homebuilders surged 4.1 percent as all its 11 members gained. Lennar climbed 5.1 percent to $36.05. PulteGroup advanced 4.4 percent to $18.95, the highest since July.
Tiffany rallied 8.7 percent to a record $88.02 for the biggest advance in the S&P 500. The world's second-largest largest luxury jewelry retailer's profit climbed and it boosted its annual earnings forecast as the rising U.S. stock market gave wealthy consumers the confidence to snap up higher-priced merchandise.
Suit Offers
Jos. A. Bank jumped 11 percent to $56.29 and Men's Warehouse added 7.5 percent to $50.60. Men's Wearhouse is turning the tables on Jos. A. Bank, which last month made an unsolicited $2.3 billion offer for its larger rival. Men's Wearhouse rejected that bid, saying it undervalued the company, and the offer expired after a Nov. 14 deadline.
Hormel Foods Corp., the maker of Spam and Jennie-O turkeys, advanced 5.9 percent to a record $44.95 after the company reported quarterly earnings that beat analysts' estimates and boosted its dividend to 20 cents a share, up from 17 cents.
Workday Inc. (WDAY) surged 13 percent to $82.60 after the maker of online human-resources software said it expects fourth-quarter revenue of as much as $138 million, exceeding the average analyst projection for $129 million.
Take-Two Interactive dropped 5.4 percent to $16.01. The maker of the "Grand Theft Auto" games bought the shares at yesterday's closing price of $16.93. The New York-based company also said Icahn representatives Brett Icahn and Nelson Cho have resigned from its board. Icahn Group was Take Two's largest shareholder.
Computer Maker
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) slipped 0.9 percent to $25.09. After the market's close, the company reported quarterly revenue and profit that topped analysts' estimates, boosted by corporate demand for servers, computers and networking equipment. The stock jumped 6.6 percent to $26.75 in extended trading.
Utilities dropped 1 percent for the worst performance among 10 S&P 500 industries. CenterPoint Energy Inc. slumped 5.2 percent to $23.58 and OGE Energy Corp. fell 6.9 percent to $35.32. The utility owners and partner ArcLight Capital Partners LLC said they plan to raise about $500 million next year in an initial public offering of Enable Midstream Partners LP.
10% Drop
Nuance Communications Inc. (NUAN) tumbled 18 percent to $13.10, the lowest in more than four years, after projecting full-year sales that missed analysts' forecasts. The maker of speech-recognition software said it expects full-year 2014 adjusted revenue of $2.03 billion to $2.09 billion. Analysts on average had estimated $2.1 billion.
The S&P 500 will probably fall 10 percent in the next 12 months before rebounding to end 2014 at 1,900, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The 1,900 forecast implies about a 5 percent advance from today's level. The 25 months since the index's last 10 percent drop is the longest stretch without such a decline since 2007, according to S&P.
"It will be less smooth sailing," David Kostin, the bank's chief U.S. equity strategist, said on Bloomberg Television's "Market Makers" program. "The likelihood is we will have something that will prompt a reduction -- a retreat in the market. But overall the market should be rising, and that's because the U.S. economy will be getting better."

|The 4th quarter of the game was very exciting and I wasn't sure who would win. What a great Sunday of football!
Last Sunday I went to the New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills football game. The game had many ups and downs, which made it very exciting.
I went to the game with my Mom, Dad and brother. It was a warm day for the end of November. Our seats were at the 50 yard line so we had a good view of the game.
In the first half of the game, the Bills had the momentum, but it was tied 14-14 at the end of the 2nd quarter.
The Jets came out strong in the 2nd half. On the second possession of the 2nd half, they scored a touchdown which gave them some momentum.
The Bills came back due to a turnover during a punt by Cromartie which led to a Bills touchdown to tie the game at 21-21.
The Bills went ahead to 24-21 after a field goal. Plaxico Burress had an impressive one handed catch on 3rd and 10 which led to a Mark Sanchez to Santonio Holmes touchdown in the back right corner of the endzone and the Jets pulled ahead 28-24.
The Bills tried to come back once again but Stevie Johnson dropped some passes and the Jets ended up on top. The 4th quarter of the game was very exciting and I wasn't sure who would win. What a great Sunday of football!

whosdiary's recommendation
I like DSLR Cameras but this "Leica M8.2 Camera" would do the job too! It features a 10.3 megapixel sensor, a new ultra quiet shutter, the body also has a new "vulcanite" finish, and is the first camera to use scratch resistant sapphire crystal to cover the camera's monitor.

A Warriors recruit has been caught up in the drugs probe into Australian sport and it could have an impact on the makeup of Matt Elliott's squad next season.
Jayson Bukuya, who in May signed a two-year contract to play at Mt Smart from 2014, was named as one of eight Cronulla players who had reportedly been considering a deal with anti-doping officials that would have seen him accept a six-month ban.
Up to 14 Cronulla players are said to be among 30 NRL players and a number of support staff who have been told to schedule interviews with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority's (Asada) as part of their ongoing drugs investigation. The players had 48 hours to respond and interviews will commence on August 1.
Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah said they had not had any contact from Asada advising them of any of their players being on the list. "And nor do we expect any [contact]," Scurrah said.
They will, however, be watching developments across the Tasman with interest, and it will be a similar situation with the Kiwis.
The Newcastle Knights, who in February were one of six clubs to meet with the NRL's integrity unit after being named in the Australian Crime Commission's investigation into drugs in sport and organised crime, have neither confirmed nor denied Jeremy Smith was one of the 30 players.
Smith, who has been a fixture in the New Zealand side since 2007, was at Cronulla in 2011 - the year that has become a focus of Asada's investigations.
Players face bans of up to two years if charged with doping offences.
Sydney's Daily Telegraph said Bukuya was one of eight Sharks players considering an offer to accept a six-month "no significant fault" ban and waive any future grievances against the Sharks in return for the club guaranteeing not to sack any players, a percentage of the salary cap increase for 2014 and one-year contract extensions for off-contract players.
The newspaper said all eight, who also included NSW captain Paul Gallen, Wade Graham, Nathan Gardner, Nathan Stapleton, Matthew Wright and Stewart Mills, rejected the deal when they discovered Essendon AFL players might escape any suspensions under a separate government agreement.
Asada issued a statement rejecting the reports, saying they had not offered "a zero sanction to any athlete or support person", and Gallen also said the players never seriously considered a plea bargain with Asada because they didn't think they had done anything wrong.
The eight players have maintained they are innocent victims and had been told by club officials the products they were given were safe to use and had been cleared by Asada.
They also claimed the club effectively forced them to use the supplements but drug guidelines have always put the onus on individuals to be responsible for what they take.
The Warriors were last night standing by their man.
"We aren't in a position to comment until the enquiry is finished," Scurrah said. "As far as we are concerned, Jayson is a contracted player for next season."
Any ban would have an impact on their squad next season. Bukuya is being seen as a replacement for Elijah Taylor, who is joining Ivan Cleary at Penrith. The 24-year-old is a hard-working, hard-nosed second rower who is starting to make an impact in the NRL.
Bukuya is likely to feature at Mt Smart Stadium next Saturday when Cronulla visit but before then Melbourne take on the Warriors at home on Sunday.
Warriors coach Matt Elliott yesterday made only one change to the starting side that beat Wests Tigers 24-14, with Ngani Laumape coming in for winger Glen Fisiiahi who is out for the rest of the season with a pectoral injury.
Warriors side to play Melbourne at Mt Smart on Sunday (2pm):
Kevin Locke, Ngani Laumape, Dane Nielsen, Konrad Hurrell, Manu Vatuvei, Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, Sam Rapira, Nathan Friend, Ben Matulino, Feleti Mateo, Simon Mannering, Elijah Taylor. Interchange: Suaia Matagi, Jacob Lillyman, Todd Lowrie, Dominique Peyroux.

Last year Ubisoft released its first Xbox game for Windows Phone, Babel Rising 3D. Mando Productions created the original game while Advanced Mobile Applications ported it to Windows platforms. Babel Rising arrived just a month before Windows Phone 8. Once the new mobile OS launched, the game turned out to be Windows Phone 8-incompatible.
Luckily for Windows Phone gamers, Ubisoft did the right thing and brought Babel Rising 3D back as a new, separate Windows Phone 8 version earlier this month. Not only that, they also published a Windows 8 version. All three versions are content identical, with the Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 versions naturally running smoother and in higher resolutions. It's high time for our full review.

Many early Christians were martyred by the Roman Empire, including the third-century Pope St. Sixtus and several other members of the Church of Rome. Sixtus was elected Bishop of Rome (Pope) in 257; that same year the Emperor Valerian issued a decree forbidding Christians to hold assemblies (thereby making it impossible for them to celebrate Mass legally).
Twelve months after his election, Sixtus was arrested while addressing a gathering of Christians in a cemetery outside Rome (for the early Church could not yet legally possess its own buildings). Four deacons were also arrested, including St. Lawrence (August 10).
Sixtus and his companions were put to death by the sword; Roman Christians buried him in the nearby cemetery of St. Callistus (named after another Bishop of Rome who was himself martyred in 222). St. Sixtus was one of the most venerated martyrs of the early Roman Church.

A rewrite of my ekphrastic poem inspired by the beautiful John William Waterhouse pre-raphaelite painting My Sweet Rose with thanks to friends who have commented.
Radiant beauty,
Goddess of the dead,
Scent of the rose
Against your
Sweet head;
Fertile maid of life and death.
Feel the horror queen's light breath.
She meandered in meadows of
Fragrant flowers,
Roses, violets, hyacinths in bowers.
Seized, snatched,
Carried off,
Stolen by Hades
In a golden four-horsed chariot,
As Demeter wept.
Odysseus at the House of Death
Sees a wraith
To make one ache
For those who have been.
Persephone now the
Curse of dead souls,
Men distrust her
Six months here, six months there.
It is said:
"This is no deception sent by Queen Persephone,
This is the way of mortals when we die"
So wait!
A kindness yet,
To let
The souls return.
Springtime Goddess of Rebirth,
Mystery initiations,
Sudden depressions,
Give way
To the
A better life
A different fate after death.
Repeat to the beginning,
Seeds of the
Fruits of the
All shall return.
She is the
Painted winecup,
She is:
Life and death,
Wife, daughter,
Innocence, wisdom,
Death and rebirth.
And she stole the beautiful Adonis!
Oh yes! A psychopomp …
With pomegranate seeds
And blessings,
For wisdom and tranquillity.
Death is not
'Tis a cycle for
Polly Robinson © 2013

Messick was known for his kindness
With the passing of Don Messick, founder and director of the Lakes Area Food Shelf in Pequot Lakes, so, too, passes the kindness he was well known for.
Messick was a member of Grace United Methodist Church. He is missed by people in both places.
"I have known him for seven years. He's both a member of Grace United Methodist Church and manager and volunteer for the Lakes Area Food Shelf," said Ann Hutchings, Grace United Methodist Church secretary. "He brought a ray of sunshine to everyone he came in contact with, no matter what their age, what their background. He was very forthright and honest, but he had a heart of gold. Very generous."
Hutchings said Messick kept himself going by keeping connected to people of all ages, even at the age of 93.
"We feel between his volunteerism and his mingling with people of all ages, it really kept him going," Hutchings said.
Messick helped found the food shelf in 1991 and was a passionate volunteer. Food shelf manager Carey Rasinski knew Messick for 13 years.
"It was wonderful. He was a phenomenal human being. He was very caring and thoughtful. He was very kind-hearted. Just kind of a softy. He was very passionate about the Lakes Area Food Shelf, very passionate about the fact that he was there to help people. He would drop what he was doing to help them. He's going to be very greatly missed," Rasinski said.
Rasinski said Messick will be missed for his caring attitude above all else.
"At 93 years old he had a heck of a life," Rasinski said.

This review is from: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
This was the first time I bought and OEM version. I will still go back to retail copies to have the freedom to move them around and to avoid any issues with updating or changing my motherboard at a later time.
With the windows 7 Pro, I was disappointed to find it did not have any games like Spider Solitaire etc. So I did a google search to find that they are there but a setting to appear has to be actived.
This is the sequence to get it going.
Start---Control Panel--- Programs---Programs and Features --- turn window features on and off -----then check the games folder and it should be there.

As Premier Christy Clark downplays the impacts to BC as Russia and China sign a 400-billion dollar LNG deal, the Green Party's lone MLA says it is a nail in the coffin of BC's LNG plans.
Andrew Weaver says the deal throws a massive roadblock in front of Premier Christy Clark's LNG plans.
"It is pretty clear to me this is if not a nail in the coffin it is certainly troubling for the proposed LNG industry in BC. We are way behind. We have to liquify it Russia just has to pipe it. Russia has about twenty times the Natural Gas than all of Canada combined. It is a lot closer to China. To think we somehow have this niche market in there is a little unreasonable."
Weaver says the Premier's LNG "pipedream" fails to factor in not only Russia but "Then the next question comes in okay well we have got Australia, very close to China, producing vast quanitities of Natural Gas particularily from the Queensland fields, which are coming onstream. The US has about three times the Natural Gas supply of all of Canada combined and they are ready to go on LNG particularily with the widening of the Panama canal."
Weaver says the BC Government has gone all in on what he calls a "hail mary" LNG scheme.
"We are way behind. To think that somehow we are going to have 100,000 jobs, a $100 billion prosperity fund, no PST, a thriving health care, and education sectors, and a trillion dollar hit to our GDP on an industry that may or may not happen. It is bad governance. It is bad policy and it is bad economics. The uncertainty is huge."
Weaver says the province has no back up plan and it better get cracking on putting one together.

Being Mentored: The Experience of Women Faculty
DOI: 10.1023/B:JOCD.0000015538.41144.2b

- Gibson, S.K. Journal of Career Development (2004) 30: 173. doi:10.1023/B:JOCD.0000015538.41144.2b

Mentoring has been proposed as a means to enhance the career success of women faculty in the academic environment. This phenomenological study was undertaken to understand and describe the essential nature and meaning of the experience of being mentored for women faculty. In-depth conversational interviews were conducted with nine women faculty who stated that they had been mentored while in a faculty role. Their mentoring relationships were formal and informal, with male and female mentors of varying ranks, and both internal and external to the protégés' institutions. Through an analysis of the interview text, five essential themes of the experience of being mentored for women faculty emerged. These essential themes are (a) having someone who truly cares and acts in one's best interest, (b) a feeling of connection, (c) being affirmed of one's worth, (d) not being alone, and (e) politics are part of one's experience.

2012 M Countdown: From SNSD & Big Bang to Dynamic Duo & Nell
Mnet M Countdown has been airing since July 2004, and the long-running show recently hit its 300th episode mid-August 2012.
It has been 8 years since it first launched, and it is currently the only show on TV which is a chart-based music show.
As we are now officially more than halfway through the whole year of 2012, we looked back on the idols who defined K-Pop and M Countdown in the first half of 2012.
Big Bang, Taetiseo, Infinite, Super Junior: Idol Groups Reign the Korean Music Scene
In total, there are six idol groups who won Triple Crowns while performing on M Countdown. All six groups represent Korean pop music and are great in the sense that they help spread hallyu through music.
First and foremost, there was Big Bang, who came to perform at M Countdown and won the Triple Crown award. Soon after, Super Junior came back with Sexy, Free and Single and also won first place three weeks in a row.
Unit groups such as Trouble Maker and Taetiseo also proved to the fans that they were able to adapt to different situations and still impress.
4Minute's Hyuna and B2ST's Hyun Seung, Cube labelmates, came onto the M Countdown stage to perform Trouble Maker, the title song of their first album together. The song was an instant hit, and it also helped the duo win the Triple Crown.
SNSD's trio of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun, known as Taetiseo, hit the jackpot with its first debut stage on M Countdown , and immediately went on from then to win Triple Crown.
Girl group f(x) also won their Triple Crown with 'Electric Shock', and rookie group Infinite won their first award and first Triple Crown with their 3rd mini album's title song Chaser, sending all the members into tears while still on stage.
All these groups' success proves that the K-Pop industry is still in love with idols and group music.
Rock, Hip Hop and Ballads: Fans Start to Embrace Fresh Sounds
But that didn't prevent M Countdown embracing and promoting also different genres of music.
This year, the show also promoted artists who came with fresh new sounds, such as ballads, modern rock and even hip hop. Busker Busker, Kim Dong Ryul, John Park, Dynamic Duo and more, all not idols but talented and successful musicians in their own genre, held top places on the M Countdown charts.
For modern rock group Busker Busker, their debut album title song Cherry Blossom Ending stayed in the Top 10 ranks for more than 9 weeks, creating a new record for the show.
Rock group Nell also came back onto stage after a 4 year hiatus, and their new song Slip Away ranked high on the charts. The two groups definitely bought fresh vibes to the Korean music scene.
In addition, at the end of last year, ballad artist Kim Dong Ryul released his song Replay which he did not once perform on stage, yet it hit 1st place. John Park's debut song Falling ranked among the Top 10 for more than 10 weeks, again breaking records.
Also, when hip hop group Dynamic Duo came back with their 6th album and put a whole three songs from it into the Top 10 ranks, people were able to enjoy good Korean hip-hop once again.
With different genres and musicians and performances shown through M Countdown, fans of K-Pop all over the world will be able to witness the changes in Korean music and enjoy all that will occur on M Countdown in the next half of the year.

La. Fusion Center looking for lessons from Conn. shooting
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - When shots rang out at a Connecticut school, killing kids and teachers, emotions rippled throughout the country.
In Louisiana, the Fusion Center at State Police Headquarters is on alert.
"You had a huge number of lives that were lost. It was senseless," said State Police Superintendent Mike Edmonson. "We grieve for those families. But law enforcement getting there so quickly was paramount to no one else getting hurt."
When a crime happens in Louisiana, the people at the Fusion Center gather intelligence in real time.
"On a daily basis we are monitoring different databases, different departments and agencies on the national level and the state level," said Edmonson.
After the Connecticut shooting, the Fusion Center started reviewing incidents from around the country and discussing best response strategies with sheriffs and police chiefs across the state. The goal is to make sure Louisiana is ready for the unknown.
"At the end of the day the public could care less about the color of your uniform or the shape of your badge. They just want to know that you are working together that you're sharing information," Edmonson said.

Nov 29 (Reuters) - The new owners of Swedish car maker Saab, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB, will restart production of the 9-3 sedan on Monday at the Trollhattan factory in Sweden, a NEVS spokesman said on Friday. The 9-3 sedan will be powered by a turbocharged gasoline engine and built in "small and humble numbers" for China and Sweden, NEVS spokesman Mikael Ostlund said.

8 RV Parks near Palestine, Texas

We chose this park strictly because it offers Wi-Fi which none of the others in the area do. The directions seem difficult but it is really not that hard to find. We had a pull through site that was not totally level but not that bad. The setting is out in the country and is very quiet and beautiful. The owner is not interested in making his park a destination park, but they have done a lot of work on the roads and sites since the previous post evidently. Big rigs would have trouble getting around the narrow roads but our MH with tow did fine. We would stop here again. The Wi-Fi was excellent and we were greeted warmly. After stopping alongside of freeways for the past couple of nights, the quiet countryside was a nice break. - johnanann
Nov 2008 - $24.00
Park is listed in the 2008 Woodalls as the "Bar S Ranch RV Resort". The owner sold the "Bar S Ranch Resort" but kept the RV park. Directions in Woodalls are accurate but that is about all. Weak over the air HDTV, 2 bar cell, good weather. Owner is extremely nice, W/E/S on side and easy to access. Free WiFi with a good signal, laundry on site. Lots of trees and peaceful. Negatives - the park is woefully neglected; there is no other way to describe it. The sites are grass/rock and are not maintained, the narrow roads in the park are not maintained and while I can't fault the owner, the county road to the park is VERY bumpy and narrow. The owner has stated he doesn't care if anyone visits the park and it shows. I feel bad for the guy (personal problems he's had) but this IS A BUSINESS. I will not come back and suggest this park be avoided. If you plan to stay, do yourself a favor and call to make sure it is still open. - Mike E

Plenty of room for my 42 ft 5 slide 5ver. The staff were excellent. Conveniently located near Polar express, eateries and town. Hard dirt sites w/asphalt road. Clean and quiet place.
Rained all weekend. We had no complaints. Will be back. - halljl
Mar 2014 - $20.00
We stopped here for an overnight. Rate is because it was sub zero and the water faucets were frozen. However, the owner was able to thaw them so we could have water for a little while anyway. Owner was very nice and helpful. Sites are not level though, and when we tried to level up, we would just sink in the sand. Got semi-level and called it a night. Would stay here again if passing through. - bgw5350

Not exactly a "destination" campground, but there are things to do in the area. Owner extremely friendly and helpful. Our dog loved playing with the campground dogs. Looks pretty primitive but it has all the necessities and they are in good shape. We would come here again without a doubt, if we were in the area. - Grumpier99
Jul 2010 - $25.00
Disregard that prior review ("Best RV park in Texas"). This is a clean, plain, remote (12 miles from Palestine), run-down looking CG with shaded grassy sites, loose dogs, a friendly manager, no WiFi or cable TV. Didn't see a bath or shower house. The grass needed mowing. It was great for an overnight after a long tow, but not much else. - Prof Bill
Mar 2009 - $25.00
Best RV park in Texas. Small enough to get personal attention but large enough to have all the amenities of a large park. Laundry/Restrooms were very clean and park was well maintained. It was my best RV stay in Texas. I rate it excellent and would recommend it to anyone. - dhillebrandt

We didn't plan to stop in Palestine, and we're looking for a place before town. This is a set of earthen sites next to an RV sales and service business. There were a few trees, a few spaces have shade. Mounds of fire ants right outside the door. Owner quickly spread powder over them. No showers no restroom no amenities to speak of, however, adequate for a stopover. - User2700

Great for an overnight stop. It's a bit off the beaten path. Garbage can at each site. Owner was very helpful. - jnateg
Apr 2015 - $20.00
The owner is a very nice person and helped us get settled in our site. Most of the sites are occupied by long-term residents, but everything is neat and tidy and the lawn is mowed. There are are only a handful of available sites for overnight use and very few that could accommodate our 40' MH. We ended up parking in the "overflow" site which was really in the middle of one of the roads. The power checked out OK and it met our needs for the night, but this is definitely a rather "rural" park and some people might find it a bit too rustic. If you do decide to stay here and have a larger rig, it's worth calling in advance. At least one large RV was turned away while we were here. - docj
Apr 2015 - $20.00
Mostly long term but neat and clean. I called ahead and was told to pull into site 23,24,or 25 on lower level. Manager came down and registered us. Not a frills park but good. Level, grassy sites with full hookups. - fander

For only $20 a night for full hookups, Salmon Lake Park is a great RV park where Texas hospitality is demonstrated. The park host and staff are friendly and "looking to please". The owner came out and spent an evening with us sharing some wonderful stories from his life. He is a very interesting fellow who has had more than a few adventures.
The park has all the amenities: small store for snacks, drinks, bottled water, and bagged ice. There is fishing, swimming, a playground, an old west town, and even a few tree-houses! Check out their website Salmon Lake Park for all the fun details and pictures.
Salmon Lake Park does not accept credit cards. The campsites are level and most are well-shaded by oak, pine, and live oak trees. The RV sites are grass and/or sand. The park is basically a wide open pasture with a smattering of trees and hook-ups for the RVs. If it rains you can expect mud.
Be prepared for ants (big ants, red ants, carpenter, ants, fire ants, little ants, black ants, etc.) We recommend using Amdro Ant Block or some similar product.
Each Memorial Day week-end Salmon Lake Park has a Gospel Music Festival and every Labor Day week-end they have a big East-Texas Blue Grass Festival. - rvbozo
Oct 2015 - $27.00
Nice rec hall, no cable TV, new WiFi system in part of the park worked OK. A large park, some shade and two small ponds. Many old buildings set up to look like an old west or early 190's village. Many sites, you can find one to suit you. - txprospector
Oct 2010 - $18.00
Enjoyed the stay. Very friendly folks. I liked the old buildings, truck, cars and stuff. Brought back some old memories. Enjoyed photographing around the location. Most of the sites I saw seemed to level. Easy to get in and get hooked up. I would go back and recommend for a place to visit and relax. Peaceful. Only reason I didn't go with a 10: no place is perfect. - Capt_dennis

We found this place on spur of moment when we could not locate the RV park we wanted in Bryan, TX because they would not give us directions so we drove on to Crockett. I called this park on the run (a bit stressed) for a reservation so forgot to ask for my Good Sam Discount. This park gave good directions. The road going in is good. The place is huge and there was hardly anyone there (weekday). Would not stay here again for these reasons: too far out in the boonies for an overnighter, upon arrival asked for our Good Sam Discount and was told "NO! you have to ask when you call", and too much red dirt (it had rained) on parking pad. Overpriced for what you get. - ouachita princess

My family stayed here for a week in July and it was great. The improvements from the last time until now are beautiful. The swimming pool and splash pad are nice and got a workout from out little ones. Grounds were clean and well maintained. Staff was very nice and helpful. You should really give this place a try. Its much nicer then these reviews are saying. - heather70

The only thing true about "Crockett Family Resort" is "Crockett". Don't let their online pictures fool you. I stayed at this place for over a year on work. I have stayed in over 30 RV parks all over the country, and would not recommend this place to anyone with a family, or a couple looking for a weekend getaway. I've stayed in some rough places, and this one is up there. It wasn't bad until a couple of pipelines came to town. I've witnessed suspicious activity at 4:00 AM (probably drug use/deals), trashy, beer canned camp sites and domestic violence where the cops came out to people peeling out in sports cars at 5 AM, and theft was also an issue, as my Yeti Cooler was stolen outside my 5th wheel while my family went in town for dinner. If you've seen it on "Cops", it has probably happened here, while you're here. This park is basically a man camp for oil/gas workers, containing some shady people, with no one looking after the place after dark. With all the "oil trash" in the park, they should have a Marshall or someone policing the park, enforcing park rules, but they don't. It would be the right thing to do for everyone in the park to help keep everyone safe. I am in the oil/gas business myself, and am ashamed of how some of these people act. If you ever need anything from the manager you will either get an extremely rude or very nice personality. She is overly passive/aggressive and lets you know that she is "in charge" in a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde demeanor if there is ever an issue or conflict. They run the place in a clutter of chaos, and it shows. When you arrive to the "Crockett Family Resort", you will find a very sandy place to park your RV, with random spacing issues. My neighbor couldn't even put his awning out all the way without touching my RV, and this is throughout the park in places. Awesome, huh? - zo1216

This is a beautiful campground easily one of our favorites. We enjoyed fishing and hiking and there was ample opportunity for both. Camp host was very friendly. We loved the pull through sites. It's a huge campground with 3 different loops. Love the layout which on pull through included railed steps up to the picnic table and fire pit. My ONLY complaint is that the bathroom across from site #74 was filthy. The garbage in the toilet stall stayed full with the same garbage it had in it when we arrived & we stayed 7 nights. The showers also were filthy including powder all over one shower floor which trailed out into the walking area of the shower. That was there our last 2 days. Other than that I would easily give this a 10z. - Knitwit9119

We camped in the Cooks Ferry Camping Area at Fairfield Lake State Park in site 72 (back-in, double wide, table on off side). The Cooks Ferry Loop (sites 37-100) was renovated in the past 2 years. New site pads and roads. Very nice. Spacious sites, many with lake view and access. Pull through and back-in sites available. The Post Oak Camping Area (sites 101-135) was open and need of repair. The office informed me they plan to renovate Post Oak this winter. The Springfield Camping Area (sites 1-36) are water only and primarily for tent campers. Very good hiking trails. The camping loops are 3+ miles from the park office, boat ramp and fishing dock. No WiFi in camping loops, only at park office. Fair Verizon and AT&T service. Good water quality. - drfife

We camped in the Cooks Ferry Camping Area at Fairfield Lake State Park in site 69. The Cooks Ferry Loop (sites 37-100) was recently renovated. New site pads and roads. Very nice. Spacious sites, many with lake view and access. Pull through and back-in sites available. The Post Oak Camping Area (sites 101-135) was closed for the winter. That loop has not been updated. The Springfield Camping Area (sites 1-36) are water only and primarily for tent campers. The lake was full and beautiful. Very good hiking trails. 2 boat ramps and fishing docks. This park is a real hidden gem. - drfife
