Associates at this Windy City institution were blown away by the "really interesting group of individuals" and "broad spectrum" of work on offer...
IN 2013 and 2014 Mayer Brown had big success, posting a double-digit rise in profits per partner, as well as surges in gross revenue. But is the wind still blowing in the right direction for this international juggernaut? It sounds like it: "2015 was another excellent year from a financial standpoint, in a difficult legal market," enthuses managing partner Ken Geller. "We had great success in our financial results, great achievements in terms of awards and rankings, and great results in lateral recruiting." The firm's 2015 revenue rose 2.8% on 2014 to $1.257 billion. It seems like it's all go for Mayer Brown: the firm opened new digs in Mexico City in 2015 to bolster its energy practice, and was due to set up shop in Dubai in summer 2016, which will be its first Middle Eastern outpost.
Fortunately, this Chicagoan's recent prosperity doesn't come with an overly aggressive culture, according to junior associates here. "Generally everyone is very helpful," one enthused. "Your first year can be a daunting experience, and the clients we work with are very high-profile, but generally people take the time to work with you and help you learn the ropes."
The Work
The largest proportion of associates on our interviewee list – around a third – was in finance, with the corporate & securities and litigation groups each accounting for around a quarter. The remaining few were dotted across employment & securities, financial services regulation, government and global trade, IP, tax controversy, real estate, bankruptcy & insolvency, wealth management, and tax transactions & consulting. During their summer program, newbies can try work from any of these groups, after which they make a decision on which practice area to join full-time. One associate assured us: "I haven't heard of anybody not getting an offer in the group they selected."
"I was able to express my preferences and get a variety of work."
Most of our interviewees accessed work through a free-market system, which worked reasonably well for the majority: "I was able to express my preferences and get a variety of work." Several, however, pointed out that working for multiple partners can sometimes cause matters to pile up, and "some partners aren't particularly organized." That said, juniors appreciated that there are "partner-associate liaisons who do a good job of helping associates to balance their work schedule."
Finance associates described a broad-ranging practice: "We do everything from leveraged and structured finance to securitization and project finance, and we have a couple of people who do exclusively derivatives." One junior added: "We represent a lot of banks, both as lenders and in terms of securitization, and we also do a lot of insurance." When it comes to the daily grind, tasks include preparing for client calls, drafting agreements and negotiating the smaller points of a deal.
Over in litigation, the work can be anything from mortgage-backed securities cases and fraud to breach of contract, antitrust and environmental matters. We heard that travel opportunities have been abundant for New York litigators of late: "I was on an internal investigation where I was staffed out of the country for a few months. We have a lot of junior associates in the Caribbean and Paris right now." It's not all glamorous jet-setting, of course, and newbies aren't unfamiliar with doc review, although other more exciting tasks include writing motions and prepping witnesses for depositions. Corporate associates also get "a pretty broad spectrum. I've done a number of equity and debt offerings on the securities side, and I was staffed on a few large transactions on the M&A side." Other subgroups that corporate juniors can get work from include business and technology sourcing. Client secondments are also available.
Training & Development
Mayer Brown splits its attorneys into three groups: starting level, midlevel and upper level, "so they gear the training programs toward each of those levels. Once you're a fourth-year, your goals change, and you get more training on aspects like business development." Associates start life at the firm with an initial first-year 'Fast Track' training series, which takes place every Monday for their first six months at the firm, covering topics such as time management, career planning and maximizing feedback.
"I think informal mentoring is more successful."
A range of more substantive legal training sessions are also on offer: "We did a large interoffice negotiation exercise," one finance newbie reported. "We split into teams to negotiate legal opinions, and we were critiqued by senior-level associates." Litigators, meanwhile, are taught "how to draft a motion, how to do discovery responses – we get actual practical training that I've found very helpful." Newcomers are assigned an associate and a partner mentor, although the general feeling was that "in reality you go to the people you work with when you have questions. I think informal mentoring is more successful because you're drawn to certain people, and you can't change that."
Offices & Strategy
Our list of junior associates showed that nearly half of them had joined the firm's original – and largest – office in Chicago, while around a third were in the New York digs. The rest were spread between posts in Charlotte, DC, Palo Alto, LA and Houston. The Chicago office is undergoing "a bunch of renovations. I don't know what it's going to look like, but a lot of the space will be changing." Remaining unaltered, however, is the on-site gym and cafeteria, and its location "downtown right near the Willis Tower" is still as convenient as ever.
"A lot of the space will be changing."
Big Applers meanwhile moved into 1221 Avenue of the Americas in early 2015, "so this office is very modern, with lots of glass." As far as amenities go, "in the basement there's a gym," as well as restaurants on the first floor and basement of the building. Some of our sources felt that the new space was almost too big, and at times impeded contact with others: "The floors are huge, so you may not always see people on the other end of the floor." First and second-years in New York share an office, while those in Chicago get their own from the start.
But renovations to existing digs aren't the only changes happening at Mayer Brown's offices, with the opening of a Mexico City outpost in 2015, and Dubai in 2016. "In late 2015 we brought over two corporate partners from Baker & McKenzie, who have a large practice representing Western companies who do business in the Middle East," MP Ken Geller explains. "So we've decided to open a small office in Dubai, largely to help with that inbound work but also to service Middle Eastern clients." And which practice areas are doing particularly well at Mayer Brown right now? "We did a significant amount of lateral recruiting during 2015 to build out our global M&A platform, including laterals from Davis Polk, Cleary Gottlieb and Baker & McKenzie," Geller informs us, adding that "we had record-setting years in finance and real estate." In addition, litigation – the firm's largest group – has had "a very strong and consistent practice in 2015."
While strong academics are a common trait among Mayer Brown's attorneys, the firm makes an effort to hire an eclectic mix of characters. From the "classic nerd" to the secretly intellectual "frat guy, it's a really interesting group of individuals; I like that there's no dominating group." Others mentioned that quite a few colleagues had had previous careers in sectors including engineering, consulting and journalism: "It brings all kinds of perspectives to a problem; the more voices you have in the room the better." When it comes to partners, "there are some who are significantly more laid back, but there are also those who are quite highly strung and more like the stereotypical New York partner."
"A really interesting group of individuals."
By and large, socializing isn't at the top of the agenda for the majority of Mayerites. "I appreciate that, though," one junior was quick to add. "I have other social outlets in my life, and there's nobody here that I don't get along with." Others appreciated the firm's more flexible approach to time spent in the office: "They expect that when you do your work, you do it well. After that you have leeway; if you want to go home, you can." Another second-year confided: "If you're not busy, there's no weird face time issue where you're just sitting there doing nothing, which is the worst. My advice to first-years would be: if you're not busy, go home!"
Hours & Compensation
Compensation is calculated using a rather complex system. In order to remain in good standing at the firm and advance to the next level in the pay scale, associates need to bill 2,000 working hours. These consist of not only billables, but also matters such as pro bono, business development work and training sessions –"it's a pretty broad bucket." However, there is a subset of the working hours – which the firm refers to as 'creditable hours' – which only includes billables and up to 200 pro bono hours, as well as "some limited quantities of other things, for instance if we received a subpoena." To get a bonus, associates need to bill at least 2,100 creditable hours. In general, our sources hadn't had any problems hitting this target: "We've all been pretty busy!"
"Went back to the lockstep system."
Last year we were told that the bonuses were calculated using a mixture of lockstep and discretionary factors. "They shifted to that system for exactly one year, but there was a bit of an outcry, so they went back to the lockstep system." Salaries are also lockstep. When it comes to vacation, "you can take as much time as you want, there's no set number of days." Although this sounds like a dream, "it's really a blessing and a curse – some people are better about taking vacation than others. Most people take a couple of weeks."
Pro Bono
Mayer Brown is signed up to the 'Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge,' which means it dedicates at least 3 percent of its total billable hours to pro bono. Junior associates are expected to bill at least 60 hours, although "you can go up to 200 hours." In general, our interviewees had billed between 60 and 100 hours, with one source noting "I would take more on if I had more time!"
"I would take more on if I had more time!"
Mayer associates can get involved in a wide variety of matters, from representing inmates and working on appellate briefs for criminal defendants, to asylum cases and helping senior citizens access medical benefits. "We probably get an e-mail every week from our pro bono director with new opportunities." We also heard of associates who had been able to bring in their own cases.
Pro bono hours
"In my group in New York we don't have very many female partners, and that is a concern for me as a female associate," one junior confessed. Our figures show that Mayer Brown has only 39% female associates, and 18% female partners. That said, steps are definitely being made in the right direction. Each office has its own Women's Forum, for instance, "and those meetings are great! Although I do think that the female associates would benefit from having female partner and associate mentors, too."
"They are putting more resources into these things."
Where racial diversity is concerned, most of our interviewees praised the firm's efforts: "When I started, the firm hired a director of diversity [Jerry DeBerry] and he's created a lot of events; they are putting more resources into these things." There is a three-day diversity retreat in Chicago, and those who had attended it agreed that "it was good to network with other people in other offices that you normally wouldn't be exposed to. The firm is definitely making a very big push in terms of diversity." Others felt that there is a lot of talk and little action, however: "We have a lot of presentations where we're told the management is focused on diversity, but I've not actually seen that it is. And I'm not aware of any concrete structural changes here."

Get Hired
Rather predictably, given the intellectual atmosphere at Mayer Brown, the firm is "fairly choosy about academic performance," according to hiring partner Brad Keck. And at interview, don't be afraid to express your opinion: "If you are truly interested in the firm, let us know!" Keck tells us. "That's important, because everyone wants to feel some mutuality; sometimes it's hard to know which candidates are sincerely interested."
"If you are truly interested in the firm, let us know!"
When we asked associates for their opinion on hiring criteria, several highlighted that "it is very much free-market at Mayer Brown, so you have to be much more of a self-starter. You have to be willing to approach the partners; they prefer you to knock on their door and ask questions rather than just sit in your office and email them."
Interview with hiring partner Brad Keck
Chambers Associate: How do you pre-screen those who have bid on your firm? Is there anything specific that you look for on a resume?
Brad Keck: Firstly, we are fairly choosy about academic performance, and we're looking for people that we think can be a good fit at the firm in the long term. We're not just hiring people for junior associate roles, we're looking for the best people we can find. We want people who we think could find long term success and play more senior roles at Mayer Brown, so a good academic background and a strong work ethic are important. We also look for people who can demonstrate engagement and enthusiasm, and we like to hire a mix of different types of people with varying experiences, so some form of work experience is a plus.
CA: Do you focus on any particular law schools when recruiting?
BK: You have to put your focus somewhere, and of course that depends on which office we're talking about. I would say our biggest focus is on places like the University of Chicago, Michigan, Northwestern and Harvard – we put a lot of effort into those four. Then we look at the top 50 law schools, although our focus will be different regionally. We look for the best people we can find, but we're not exclusive to any school; we'll consider someone who's a high performer wherever they're from. Last year we recruited from about 40 different schools.
CA: What is the firm doing to encourage diversity in recruiting?
BK: I've been on the recruiting committee for about 17 years (they haven't been able to get rid of me!) and I can say that diversity has always been a big focus. A big portion of every committee meeting is spent on recruitment and the visibility of diverse applications. We also have a director of diversity, Jerry DeBerry, which is fairly unique – there aren't many law firms with a full-time position for someone to work on diversity issues.
There are three aspects to diversity recruitment at the firm. The first is outreach: at most of the schools where we recruit heavily, we do a lot of outreach to diversity groups. We encourage the schools to hold receptions, to make sure we have good brand recognition within the affinity groups. The second point is that we've always focused on ensuring that, through the recruiting process, we're giving diverse candidates due consideration. When I say diversity, obviously racial diversity is one component, but we also try to think about it holistically; we consider anyone who has come from a different background, such as economic disadvantage. Thirdly, 2016 is the first year that we've set up scholarships for diverse students – we're offering four in total. Scholarships are very important in the legal community, and through this program we've tried to underscore our commitment by offering grants. If it works well we'll probably expand the scholarships more broadly.
CA: What makes someone stand out at interview?
BK: I think I alluded to it already, but being engaged and present is very important. It should also feel as though you've done a bit of preparation before the interview; candidates should know a bit about the specific firm they're interviewing for. Being engaged with the interviewer is critical – it sounds easy but it's not always the case. The other thing I would say is, if you are truly interested in the firm, let them know! Say, 'Hey, this is where I want to work,' and tell us why. That's important, because everyone wants to feel some mutuality; sometimes it's hard to know which candidates are sincerely interested.
CA: Do you have any examples of questions that you've asked in past interviews?
BK: The one that I've been asking for years – particularly at callbacks – is 'Think forward a few years to when you're actually an associate. What would be a couple of things that, if you found them out after you started, would make you think you'd made the wrong choice of firm?' I think a lot of students respond well to it because it puts people in the frame of mind that they're actually going to be turning up to work here every day! It highlights anything that would give them regrets about choosing the firm they chose. They'll usually bring up two or three things, and I'll explain where our firms sits on that, and what we bring to the table.
CA: What makes a candidate stand out during the summer program?
BK: Someone who takes advantage of the opportunities that our summer presents. The main focus of our program is for people to choose which practice area they'd like to be in. Obviously doing good work is important, but summers also need to spend time getting to know the people here, and selecting the group that they would like to proceed in at the end. Our whole program is about exposing people to different practices and helping them make a decision at the end, so summers should do anything they can to help that process. They should ask lots of questions, and when they have assignments, they need to do good, consistent work.
Because we don't hire people for particular practices, the idea is that people are happy to explore and learn about what a big firm offers. I think the fact that there is no rotation or any sort of predetermined destiny when associates walk in the door is different to a lot of firms; attorneys have a lot of autonomy at Mayer Brown.
CA: More generally, what sort of person really thrives at Mayer Brown?
BK: The people that get off to the best start are those that are client service oriented, and there's a huge variety of different personalities that can lead a person to that. We want someone who is willing to focus on the client service aspect of the job, and understand that we are working for our clients first and foremost – I think that's a great asset. Being able to understand and respond to the clients' needs are really important traits. Again, things like enthusiasm and engagement are essential as well.
CA: So what can students being doing now, for instance in their 1L summers, to increase their chances of impressing you in their applications?
BK: At Mayer Brown – the same as at a lot of the largest law firms – our clients are in large part big banks, corporations and funds, and getting exposed to that corporate environment as a 1L is great. Even if you've just worked as an intern for one of these companies, it might be a client or potential client at a lot of law firms, so that is helpful experience. That's one opportunity – assuming you aren't able to find a law firm job (which is very difficult as a 1L!)
The other good path would be getting a position that gives you a deeper understanding of an area of law that the firms you're targeting actually practice. If you're lucky enough to be in DC, getting a job with one of the regulators or a place like the IRS is very valuable. It's useful to either get involved with potential clients – to get that experience in a corporate environment – or to get experience in the substantive areas of law that you would be interested in applying to.

UPDATED: A Lonedell man is charged with multiple felony offenses after leading county deputies on a high-speed chase that ended when he rammed a patrol car.
Robert S. Bean, 24, is charged with second-degree assault of a law enforcement officer, armed criminal action, resisting arrest by fleeing creating a substantial risk of serious injury or death, and felony driving while intoxicated.
A $40,000 cash-only bond was ordered in the case.
Earlier Story
The chase started about 2 p.m. Tuesday on Highway O near St. Mary's Road after a deputy was forced to avoid an oncoming car driving the wrong way.
The deputy turned around and attempted to stop the other vehicle but lost sight of it as the driver sped away.
Other deputies responding to the area saw the vehicle speeding near Woods Road and gave chase but lost sight of it when the driver turned off Highway O onto Robertsville Road.
The driver then turned around and fled east on Highway O and deputies attempted again to stop him near the Route AK intersection south of Robertsville State Park but the man refused to stop.
When officers deployed spike strips, the suspect turned around in a driveway and sped off in the opposite direction, then slowed down to 20 mph and placed his hands out of the window, the sheriff's office reported.
At that point, a deputy pulled in front of the other car and the suspect accelerated, striking the patrol car in the left rear and pushing it approximately 200 feet, according to the report.
Deputies then arrested the suspect for driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest and property damage along with multiple traffic offenses.
He was being held in the county jail pending a decision on charges.

This morning I received a letter saying that I must pay my body license otherwise my own body could be taken over by the government.
This actually means that I won't be able to touch my own body, even look at it because if I do my own body could be taken away by the police and handed over to the prime minister's henchmen.
There's nothing worse than my own body being taken over by the government.
The only way out is to grow myself a new body in the allotment.
Once done I could fix it on myself.
"There's a warning to the police.
"Here's the public warning.
"Listen you, if I ever catch you growing human bodies in the allotment just to try on yourself you could end up being eaten by a 200 foot long lion.
Worse of all your head could be chucked in the oven, roasted and end up being eaten by a five headed lion.

Montecillo Reserva: Real RiojaNick Passmore
The other evening I attended a private tasting event featuring the wine from a new boutique Spanish winery. It was a very pleasant wine—smooth, creamy, and easy to drink. But it was totally devoid of personality or any sense of place, yet alone any sense of that place being Spain. It was, in fact, a prime example of that bane of the current wine scene, an international-style wine. That is, a wine designed to pander to the pernicious ratings points system, but which could as easily have come from Sonoma or Sicily. Moreover, it was ridiculously over-priced.
After an hour or so, this featured wine ran out—it really wasn't that bad—so our host resorted to his own cellar, pulling out a few bottles of Montecillo Reserva, Rioja 2003 ($18), a widely available and always reliable wine, and I was reminded what Spanish wine should taste like.
Good Rioja like this displays that unmistakable dry, dusty quality that reminds me of the experience of entering an old, dark Spanish church on a hot summer's day; the smell of worn stone, ancient wood, and centuries' worth of incense and smoke from the candles of the faithful.
This Rioja evokes just such a response in me thanks to its rich, smoky flavors laced with hints of deep mystery. It is as darkly evocative as a painting by Velásquez or Ribera, and quite unmistakably Spanish.

Vienna city break guide
An essential guide to Vienna, Austria, including advice on the best hotels, restaurants, bars and attractions, by our expert, Diane Naar-Elphee.
Why go?
Because Vienna is even better than its reputation – and it has a splendid one.
A city that charms and seduces from scratch, but even more the longer you stay. Whether for fast-track travel or slow-paced sightseeing, and regardless of how many times you've been before, there's a seemingly never-ending wealth of things to do and see throughout the year. It's also both culturally and musically one of the richest cities in the world, and has a good, lively mix of cool cafés and bars, galleries, shops and street markets.
When to go
The cold weather between December and March shouldn't be a damper. There are plenty of places to warm up and with street markets aglow and the ball season in full swing it's a fun time to visit. By April milder temperatures and blooming parks and gardens get locals back outdoors. From mid-May to late June outdoor festivals and parties are well underway and reach their peak with the annual three-day Donauinselfest – Europe's largest open-air party – where entrance is free. Although the odd heat-wave may feel uncomfortable during the months of July and August, summer weather is usually sunny and warm and cool-down, chill-out locations are in abundance along the Danube River and canal; but state-run opera, concert and theatre venues close shop. From September onwards, cultural activities are back in full swing, and mild, sunny days offer ideal conditions for exploring the surrounding countryside.
Where to go
Classic "must sees" include the palaces of Schönbrunn and Hofburg, the Ringstrasse – celebrating its 150th anniversary this year – and a multitude of art treasures in some spectacular museums: Museum of Fine Art (Kunsthistorisches Museum), Belvedere, Albertina and Leopoldsmuseum (main Schiele collection). And contemporary architecture beckons at the new WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business) campus in the 2nd district. Particularly Zaha Hadid's futuristic Library and Learning Center has to be seen from within.
Getting there
To find flights, check Skyscanner or Momondo.
See also our expert guide to saving money on short-haul flights
Local laws & etiquette
Formal greetings are the norm when meeting someone, and you'll hear "Grüss Gott" (greeting the almighty), or the more worldly "Guten Morgen/Tag/Abend", just about everywhere you go, and it's customary to return the salutation. Locals love their titles, so if you are meeting someone who has a university degree, not only are you expected to know this fact, but you're expected to use the title whilst shaking hands e.g "Grüß Gott Herr Doktor". In cafés and restaurants the waiter will expect to hear a "Herr Ober"(Mr. waiter) from guests seeking attention.
Viennese coffee houses serve this popular drink in many different ways, so to avoid being pooh-poohed by just asking for a coffee ask for a particular cup: Melange (milky coffee), Mocca (black), Espresso or study the menu before ordering, the more traditional institutions will list the various kinds.
Tips are not included, nor is it usual to leave them on the table. After the waiter has given you the bill add roughly 10 per cent and ask for it to be added to the total.
A simple thank you is "Danke" or "Bitte" which mean both 'please' and 'you're welcome'.

Aria sneaked through the castle corridors, her bare feet making it easy to remain quiet on the hard stone floors of the dungeon. She watched a guard come round the corner and before he could react, knocked him out by slamming his head into the corner. Aria grabbed his sword and scabbard, tied it to her waist, and continued down the corridor, her eyes watching for more guards.
As she silently tread down the hallway, she heard the voices of the other inmates, crying out for release, for freedom. Aria felt some pity for them, but right now, if got herself caught, then she'd be right back where she started... cold, alone... always alone.
She shook off those feelings and continued down, only to bump into a couple of guards. This time, it was Aria who was taken by surprise, and the first guard grabbed her by the arm, keeping her from drawing her sword. "Looks like we need a special cell for this kitty, wouldn't you say?"
He turned Aria around and was about to cuff her hands behind her back when Aria delivered a swift ankle to the man's groin, causing him to fall over, grabbing the damaged area. "W-why... y-y-you..."
The other guard drew his blade. "Time to die, wench!" Aria, however, was quicker, and slammed to hilt of her sword into the man's stomach, knocking him back. "Grrr..."
However, the loud noises had attracted too much attention from the other guards, and Aria had no choice but to bolt for it. She managed to make it outside, but got hit by an arrow in the back, causing her to fall over.
The guards drew their swords, ready to kill the escapee if necessary, but Aria recovered quickly and continued running... and jumped off the castle wall into the moat below.
The guards looked over the side and their commander turned to the others. "Gather the hounds! She must not be allowed to escape! If we lose her King Shadis will have my head!!!"
Aria swam to the shore, the arrow still in her back, in a place she was unable to reach. She cursed herself for letting her guard down the moment she felt the rush of fresh air.
Suddenly her vision began to blur. Apparently the arrow had been poison tipped as well.
"Drat... so... close..." Aria mumbled, before falling down, unable to move, having difficulty just breathing. Tears began streaming down her face, a sense of self loathing filling her at being as weak as she was.
As weak as she had always been.
She saw someone approach, a man with jet black hair, but her vision was so blurred she couldn't tell if he was a guard or not... and then she passed out.
Lynn heard the cry of of the Dark Lord's minions. It sounded like they found someone trying to escape... and she prayed that it wasn't her that they found. She decided to head deeper into the cave, hoping to at least elude her predators a little longer.
Then she tripped over something. She looked down and saw a strange stone tablet. She lifted it up and began to examine it carefully.
"Strange... there's a magic of some kind coming from it... what could it be?" The howl of the Dark Lord's Stygian enforcers grew louder. She realized she had no time to ponder on such things. She ran deeper into the cave until she reached the end of it... a solid stone wall.
"Looks like I have nowhere more to run..." She said, sitting down, and examining the tablet once more, feeling it with her hands. Then she felt a slight depression in the tablet... like a switch of some kind. She blinked. Was it safe to try it?
The howl suddenly became a high pitched screech. They had found her. She had nothing left to lose.
She pressed the depression hard into the tablet, and suddenly everything began to swirl and collide... blending, distorting, as if the very world she lived in was changing. It was both beautiful and nauseating. She had no choice but to close her eyes and wait for it to stop. Then it felt like the floor gave way, and she felt like she was floating.
When her feet found solid ground again she opened her eyes, and was amazed at what sight greeted her eyes. Buildings as large as Castle Relanisia, billowing white smoke. A long serpentine looking thing stopped in front of a group and opened up in the sides, revealing that it was not only hollow, but offering others a passage.
She blinked. This world was completely different from the one she left behind... was she still in the same world? She smelled the air and shook her head... the air was different... cleaner, fresher, as odd as that was to say about white smoke. She looked down at the tablet, and began to read, new letters having formed on the tablet.
"The Kingdom of Escartes, World of Steam and Technology."

Date of Stay: July, 2016
This is a nice park but it does not have Cable TV and the WiFi was terrible, at least where we were parked. We don't have Satellite and depend on over-the-air stations when cable is not available. We usually can find at least one Major network for weather and news. At this park we were only able to find three generic stations that played old movies and/or old TV series. This was frustrating. The sites are gravel and grass and fairly level. Some sites have trees and shade. Others are in direct sun, as ours was. The regular rate for a FHU site is $36 which we thought was a bit too high for no Cable and worthless WiFi. They do have a pool and a nice community room. We didn't use any of the other facilities so I can't tell you anything about them. The lady who checked us in was nice and they did work on the road right away when it washed out after a gully-washing rain storm.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
This is an Encore park that honors Passport America rates Sun-
Date of Stay: July, 2015
The owner was very friendly and staff was helpful. The park is located just off a busy road and the entrance is a bit steep. You must make a fairly tight turn before arriving at the office, but once we were in we didn't have a problem getting to our site. I must say the sites are tight with large trees. Nice for the shade on hot days, but we weren't able to extend our awning completely because of a nearby tree. We did have one of the few pull-through sites and that was nice because the sites WERE tight. Boone doesn't seem to have many campground options, so we were happy to find this one. It wasn't far from downtown and the outdoor drama, Horn in the West, was an easy drive as well. They offer cable, which was fine and wifi too, but we didn't use it. We used our Verizon Hotspot. If you have a satellite dish, you could have some difficulty due to large trees throughout the CG. Due to the hill at the entrance, it can be a bit difficult to pull out onto the busy road when leaving but we managed.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
This is a wonderful CG with large shady sites. It's located adjacent to a fantastic county owned park and your nightly fee gives you free access to the park and it's facilities. We were totally impressed with the lovely grounds which include a first class golf course, a remarkable swimming complex and a lovely Manor house. All are available for your use with an additional fee. There are wonderful walking trails throughout the park with easy access right from the CG. The cable was good with many channels. We didn't use the Restrooms or showers, nor did we need the WiFi. We used our Verizon hotspot. The park is located near restaurants and shopping and is close enough to Winston Salem to allow us to enjoy the sites there as well. The rate was very reasonable for all this park has to offer. We've paid much more for less desirable Camp Grounds. If I had any negatives I'd say the sites are not totally level, but that was nothing we couldn't fix with a few leveling blocks.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
This CG is located right off the turnpike. Nice for an overnight stop. It is very shady. Some traffic noise but it didn't bother us. Rural area and not really near good shopping. Walmart was 9 miles away. It has a pool, but the shower facilities are old and look it. The showers floor was chipped and looked dirty but that may have been because they were old. The shower walls were freshly painted and shower controls looked new. Wi-Fi was weak. We used our Verizon hotspot. Good cable. No laundry. Each site has a fire ring. When we arrived, the empty site next to ours had a big smokey fire going. It was directly beside our window and we needed to put it out to keep the smoke from filling our RV. Later figured out that the campers on the adjacent site on the other side had started it to keep the smoke from filling their unit. Overall this CG worked well for us as an overnight stop.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
The rate reflected is Passport. It was very nice to see in a high demand destination. It is available weekdays. This CG is very well located to visit the Gettysburg battle sites. It's located beside the battlefield and very convenient to the visitors center. It has a nice laundry with lots of washers and wheeled carts for your use. Cost $1.75 washer. I didn't use the showers but my husband said that they were nice. There seemed to be many long term campers, but it wasn't a problem. Many shady sites, free tickets offered for Diorama in town and discount for the Lincoln train ride when staying here. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
The staff was friendly, but someone made a mistake on our reservation and listed us as a no show even though I had called well in advance to change our arrival date. I was told that the switch had been made and we were good to go. We were fortunate to find one site left when we did arrive but that was totally an accident because they had no record of our arrival. There is cable available in the park but it must be arranged in advance; however, we were able to pull lots of channels over the air with only our antenna. The Wi-Fi was so slow we couldn't use it and could only get online using our Verizon Hotspot. We did not use the showers or laundry so I can't comment on them. The best thing about this park is the rate. It was very reasonable for winter in Florida near the coast; although, it was not near the beaches. The sites are rather tight and the rigs are packed fairly close. The location is off a busy road. We were on site 138. It's on the end and it was easy for us to back-in our 32' RV but the road noise was noticeable and lasted late into the night and began early in the morning. The long term campers seemed to be enjoying the activities. The night we arrived, they were having a 'Prom Night' We would stay here again if we find places in less commercial areas are full.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
I gave this park a 9 rating only because the location is far from the beaches. It is near to I-75 and that made it easy for us to get Sarasota without fighting the local traffic. This is a 55+ park. The people were friendly and there are lots of activities planned for those staying for the winter or year-round. Has a nice lake in the center where miniature boating is a fun pass-time. We didn't use the laundry (two on site) or showers. Wi-Fi and cable worked well for us. The rates here were much better than most for this time of year in this area. Most CG are full of snowbirds and it can be difficult to find a site. This CG has mostly permanent or wintering campers, so I'd suggest booking early.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
This park is located well for a visit Disney Parks. I did not use the showers or restroom facilities, but I did check out the family bathroom. It was clean. The regular showers had only a shower with no mirrors or plugs. The laundry room has four washers and four dryers costing $1.75 per washer and $1.00 for dryers. It was in a rather small screened in area and wasn't air conditioned, but did have a ceiling fan. It got pretty hot inside while I was doing laundry. They do have a small exercise room, but it closes at 5:00. We like to work out after a day of exploring and it was impossible to utilize it during those hours. Saw many clothes hanging out to dry and heard barking dogs late into the night coming from a pop-up camper two sites down. The sites are very tight. We arrived after dark when the office was closed. We found our site but the park was full and maneuvering was very tight especially with large rigs and tow vehicles blocking turning room. The people were friendly and the Wi-Fi and cable worked well for us. This was a less expensive option than some other campgrounds in the area. Rates are higher than I would like but it's in a high demand area and if you want to be there you pay more. Our rate reflects the KOA discount.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
The rate reflects Good Sam discount. This Park is located right downtown Cedar City. Very near shopping on historic Main Street. It's operated by the Best Western Hotel. Register at the hotel office. All facilities of the hotel are available for the RV park as well. Indoor and outdoor pool, exercise room etc. No showers or restrooms available as the sites are located beside the hotel. We intended to use the exercise room but didn't have time so I can't give a opinion on it. We did use the laundry, such as it was. There were two older washers and two dryers in a small room with no folding table or chairs to use as you wait. The washers cost $2.00 as did the dryers. We really needed to catch up on our laundry or we would have waited for better facilities. The staff was friendly and free donuts and coffee were available in the lobby. Hot breakfast was offer for $5 but the food was not replenished often and my husband gave up and left without eating. Sorry to say the Wi-Fi was not so good, but there was good Verizon service and our hotspot worked well. Cable was OK though some channels were a bit snowy. The sites were wide enough for larger rigs and we enjoyed the convenient location. Nice town and we'd stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
The rate reflects the KOA discount. This park has a great location for visiting the sites around Salt lake. It also has a free shuttle to temple Square and friendly staff. Our site is a pull through with nice shade. It's a larger park with two sections. One with permanent residents. A car/RV wash is located at the entrance. One dollar for 2 minutes and 20 seconds, so you must work fast. The park has activities planned for most nights, and a small pool and laundry facilities which we didn't use, so I don't know the cost or condition. We Didn't use the showers either. The biggest negative with this park has to do with the major construction work going on at the entrance making it difficult to find and difficult to get into local businesses along the main artery to downtown. You are warned to use a pressure reducer for your water line as the pressure is 125 without it. The Wi-Fi is good and cable has 28 stations. Because of the location we would stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This park is very well located for sightseeing and shopping in Santa Fe. It is a 55+ park with permanent trailers in the back of the park. Very friendly and helpful staff. They backed us into our spot which has a concrete pad, picnic table and a nice shade tree. We paid extra for the premium lot. the 30 amp lots are smaller and rather tight. This is a Good Sam rate. We loved this park. The laundry cost only $1 per load. It's an older very well maintained park. Be aware that you must arrive by no later than 5:30 or you won't be accommodated. The Wi-Fi worked great and the cable was fine. We had planned on staying only two nights, but a wind advisory was given while we were in town and they graciously allowed us to stay another night even though we had already told them that we would be leaving and they could reserve our site for the next guest. We'd stay here again for sure.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This park is nicely located for seeing all the sites in Natchez, MS. It's just across the Mississippi river bridge on the LA side of the river. The park overlooks the river, but does require driving through an older rather rundown neighborhood to find the entrance. Some major construction work is taking place at the main entrance. It was a bit dusty. The staff was friendly and helpful. The laundry facilities were very nice and the machines looked new. The cost was $2.50 per load so we didn't use them. The bathrooms were individual, clean, and nice. The main complaint about this Park is the Wi-Fi. Even though we requested a site near the office for good signal, it was pretty much worthless. We were forced to use our Verizon hotspot. The cable had only 10 channels but the reception was fine. We would stay here again if in the area because of the convenient location.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This park is nicely located for seeing the sites and has very good free Wi-Fi and Cable TV. The restrooms were clean. It has a pool but we didn't use it. The price was reasonable and it reflects the Good Sam Rate. Our lot (22) was on a slight hill and it was a bit difficult to get it level. Other lots seemed more level. This CG isn't fancy, but it has all we needed for a two night stay.

Influence of springtime North Atlantic Oscillation on crops yields in Northeast China

Forecasting grain production is of strategic importance in considerations of climate change and growing population. Here we show that the springtime North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is significantly correlated to the year-to-year increment of maize and rice yield in Northeast China (NEC). The physical mechanism for this relationship was investigated. Springtime NAO can induce sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the North Atlantic, which display a tripole pattern and are similar to the empirical mode pattern in spring. The spring Atlantic SSTA pattern that could persists to summer, can trigger a high-level tropospheric Rossby wave response in the Eurasia continent, resulting in atmospheric circulation anomalies over the Siberia-Mongolia region, which is unfavorable (favorable) for cold surges that affect NEC. Weaker (stronger) cold surges can accordingly reduce (increase) cloud amount, resulting in an increase (a decrease) in daily maximum temperature and a decrease (an increase) in daily minimum temperature, thereby leading to an increase (a decrease) in diurnal temperature range. And summer-mean daily minimum temperature and diurnal temperature range are most significantly related to the NEC crop yields.

While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for GMC vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. Anyone who operates a GMC knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Make no mistake, you bought your K1500 because you understood you would be getting horsepower and rugged design both rolled up into one vehicle. You bought your K1500 because its reliability and longevity appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
A comfortable ride and reliable performance depend completely on the bushings and mounts that dampen unpleasant shakes and shudders. Located under the engine block on your GMC K1500 are two or more motor mounts. Your GMC K1500 motor mounts are made up of two parts: the first is the metal bracket or casting that bolts to the front subframe, and the second is a polymer (rubber or urethane) bushing that absorbs engine vibration so it is not transferred to the chassis. Your engine mounts will probably not look like ones found on other vehicles, but their purpose is the same; no matter what.
When your GMC requires a top quality replacement Engine & Motor Mount, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Buying new GMC parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement K1500 parts on the internet. Don't let a broken Engine & Motor Mount spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best replacement parts. All the GMC K1500 Engine & Motor Mount parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979.

In a powerful signal that no individual is bigger than the Communist Party, one-time rising star Bo Xilai has been expelled from its ranks and faces criminal charges related to corruption, abuse of power and his alleged role in the cover-up of the death of British businessman Neil Heywood.
There had been weeks of speculation about how the Party would resolve its biggest political crisis in decades, just ahead of a brutally tense, once-in-a-decade leadership transition. But when the statement unexpectedly appeared on the official Xinhua news agency yesterday evening, it was concise and devastating.
"Bo Xilai abused his powers of office, committed serious errors and bears a major responsibility," it said.
These "grave violations of party discipline" go all the way back to the early days of Mr Bo's rise from a cadre in Dalian and Liaoning provinces, as minister of commerce, and the southwestern city of Chongqing, where Mr Bo was Communist Party chief.
He also "had affairs and maintained improper sexual relationships with a number of women", the statement said.
The ruling party made direct links between Mr Bo and other elements in the murder of Neil Heywood in Chongqing, and said he bore "significant responsibility" for British man's death.
Mr Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, and his former police chief and protégé Wang Lijun, have both been jailed over the murder.
The statement said Mr Bo was being expelled from the Party and the elite decision-making Politburo and Central Committee "in view of his errors and culpability in the Wang Lijun incident and the intentional homicide case involving Bogu Kailai". Bogu is his wife's official but rarely used surname, often used to make clear the distinct connection between the two.
"Bo Xilai's behaviour brought major consequences, seriously undermined the reputation of the party and the country, creating a very negative impact at home and abroad and significantly damaging the cause of the Party and people."
The statement urged "party organisations at all levels" to take heed of the "negative example" of the Bo Xilai case.
The ruling Communist Party is cleaning house ahead of a crucial congress beginning on 8 November, when President Hu Jintao will step down as general secretary, the party's top post. He is due to resign from the presidency at a parliamentary meeting next March, ending his 10-year tenure as China's leader, and hand over the reins to Xi Jinping.
Mr Bo has not been seen in public since the scandal, and speculation is rife over how severe his punishment will be. "The earlier conventional wisdom was that he would be treated lightly. It looks like now he will face very serious corruption charges," said Willy Wo-Lap Lam, a professor at Hong Kong's Chinese University, adding that Mr Bo could serve up to 20 years in jail if convicted.
The next step will be a plenary session at the start of November, during which the details of the congress will be outlined and various planning decisions will be made, and the details of Mr Bo's misdemeanours presented to the Party faithful. A criminal case will take time to prepare, even if the guilty outcome is a foregone conclusion, and so it will most likely take place after the congress.
Mr Lam said: "Bo Xilai will have ceased to be a distraction by then so the Party has succeeded in presenting a façade of unity for the consumption of the Chinese public."
Dashing, photogenic and politically ambitious, for a couple of years Mr Bo looked like being the future of the Communist Party as he sought to leverage his position in Chongqing into a place at the top table, the Standing Committee of the governing Politburo.
But by flirting with the cult of personality, something that has been a definite no-go since the time of Mao, and by flaunting his power and wealth through his son Bo Guagua, he has eventually sealed his own fate.
By flirting with the cult of personality, Bo Xilai eventually appears to have sealed his own fate

You need to know the facts
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 04, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, February 04, 2014
Before you call me stupid, you need to look in the mirror. If Kohl's employees are pushing credit cards on consumers like myself under the pretense of "ZERO finance charge/interest if you pay 1/3rd of the balance due" and then after I charge up my card telling me "sorry that is misinformation, you have to pay the finance charge", that is on Kohls. I am a consumer, not an employee of Kohls. It's not my job to know the facts of a credit line at Kohls. I should be able to truat what I am being told by the Kohls employees. Paying 1/3rd of your balance no longer excludes you from interest or finance charges, that is an old Kohls policy, so you do your research and get your facts straight. Get a life, quit calling people stupid and shooting your mouth off about things you have no clue about.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Comment
Know the Difference
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 04, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, February 04, 2014
Before you file a report against a company you should do your research. Before applying for a credit card you should know that there is a difference between a finance charge and interest. You were not misinformed. If you pay 1/3 of your balance you aren't charged a finance charge, however you are charged interest. Kohls is no different than any other credit card, as you can't avoid interest charges unless you pay the ENTIRE amount of ANY purchases made within 30 days. If you choose to not pay each purchase within 30 days of that purchase then you will be charged interest. Filing a complaint only shows your own stupidity for not knowing facts and just wanting a discount. Stupidity doesn't clear you from being responsible for interest fees that you agreed to pay by activating the card.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Olswang hires turn focus on Reading" />Olswang has vowed to ramp up its Thames Valley office with the hire of its first chief executive and the recruitment of Microsoft UK's key outside counsel.
The firm has hired Paul Wilson, the chief executive of Birmingham barristers' chambers St Philips, to run its Reading operation. The firm has also swooped for Celia Nortcliff of IT boutique the Law Offices of Marcus J O'Leary, who has been Microsoft UK's outside counsel for around 15 years.
Senior attorney at Micro-soft Gillian Austin said: "Celia has been a trusted adviser to Microsoft for many years and we look forward to continuing working with her at Olswang." Wilson will have completed five years at St Philips when he joins Olswang in January 2006. During that period he has increased revenues from £8m to £20m. He will sit on the Olswang board and join the central management team that comprises chief executive officer Jonathan Goldstein, senior partner Mark Devereux and chief operating officer Kevin Munslow.
Goldstein explained: "We have historically found that Kevin Munslow has always had a very important role in pushing the business forward together with me and Mark Devereux. We wish to replicate that role in Reading.
"Nabarro Nathanson probably have very good reasons for pulling out of Reading, but we believe the opposite… I don't believe that since we've taken over the business [from Garretts in 2002] we've maximised the opportunities there. Now we'll maximise them."
Corporate partner Marshall Leopold was Olswang's unofficial managing partner in Reading and will now focus on full-time fee-earning.
