LONDON (AP) A solar-powered aircraft has broken the world record for longest unmanned flight, sailing for 54 hours more than 50,000 feet (15,240 meters) above the New Mexico desert, said defense research company QinetiQ.
QinetiQ's ultra-thin "Zephyr" plane nearly doubled the current record, which stood at 30 hours, 24 minutes in a flight on July 23, 2007, the company said in a statement released Monday.
The company acknowledged the record might not stand because the test, held at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, was not witnessed by officials from the World Air Sports Federation, which keeps and certifies records.
Built from carbon fibers, the trapezoid shaped aircraft is 18 meters, or 59 feet, long and weighs only 30 kilograms, about 66 pounds — light enough to be launched, by hand, by a team of three. It uses paper-thin silicon panels to draw on the sun's power and the surplus is stored in lithium-sulphur batteries, which power the plane through the night.
QinetiQ declined to say how much the program cost, although it said Britain's Ministry of Defense had contributed several million pounds to the project.
Potential applications for Zephyr include surveillance and communications work.

These eco-friendly body wipes soften skin and have a tingly cool scent thanks to an infusion of peppermint oil. We keep a pack tucked in our gym bag at all times—they make great post-workout skin refreshers for those days when we don't have time to jump in the shower. You can also bring them with you on vacation or keep them at home. Each 24 pack has enough sweet-smelling wipes to last you for weeks.
I like the smell, definitely refreshing, but the wipe is not enough to make me feel clean, and especially not enough to skip showering after the gym. It did leave my skin feeling soft, so I guess its a time saver if you're looking to refresh and moisturize? But I'd have to use about 6 of these to make any real difference.3
It smells good, I like that it is all natural, and there is a very slight and brief cooling sensation that I think would be nice to use after a workout. But to me, I don't see a big difference between these and a face-wipe except for the fact that you can't use these on your face. These don't indicate that they are face intended. They are nice, but if they were more like a muscle relaxer like infused with something to sooth my aching muscles after a work out or standing on my feet all day at work, then I would consider buying them.3

Thia (New Earth)
this wiki
Thia is one of the Titans of Myth, an extra-dimensional race of beings once worshipped as gods by the people of Ancient Greece, and whose descendants are the Olympians. She was able to escape Tartarus alone and came to Earth. She had numerous husbands and lovers - all of whom she slew - and numerous children. She raised her children to be ambitious opportunists under the auspices of a cult called the Children of the Sun, and convinced them that they would someday inherit the Earth. One such child was Lilith.
Lilith was spirited away by her well-meaning nurse to protect her from her mother, and was raised beyond the insanity of the cult. She grew up with psychic powers and eventually joined the Teen Titans. Thia eventually sought her out to prevent her from turning against her as Zeus had turned against Cronus millennia earlier, and eventually kidnapped her back just before launching an assault on Olympus, now moved to a pocket dimension by Zeus.
Thia then kidnapped the Amazons of Themyscira, and ordered her mortal slave Kole to imprison them. Next, Thia attacked Olympus and succeeded in wrestling the throne from Zeus.
Sensing a possible threat from the Titans, Thia released her mortal siblings - the Giants - from Tartarus to destroy them. Despite her success in her siege of Olympus, the Titans defeated the Giants with the help of the Teen Titans. Together, they helped free the Amazons and rallied for the Olympians against Thia and her progeny. Hyperion himself confronted Thia, appealing to her out of the love they once had, and conjured a funeral pyre to destroy them both in order to defeat her.[1]

DCeptette: "We get our kicks above the waistline, sunshine" version
- Tales of Craigslist. At last, a band willing to describe themselves honestly. For maximum success, though, they need to move to the Lower East Side and troll for talent outside Pianos. We're guessing they already have the black suits. (Craigslist)
- The Washington Post today TOTALLY has the inside dope on the kickball-enthusiasm trend, which would be impressive if it wasn't three and a half years too late. Next July, look for the WaPo to thoroughly get into "that flash mob stuff we heard about on CSI: MIami." (Post)
- Mayor Anthony Williams, wandering off to Beijing, is impressed by the "brashness" and "vitality" of the place. Notes: "Our police would have totally locked up those Tiananmen Square protestors, too." Plans are made to bring a diminuitive kung-fu acrobat home and team him up with the most incompetent and vaguely effeminate African-American cop at MPD in a crime-fighting partnership rich on "laughs, also collateral property damage." (Post)
- Jesus, the Post is making us laugh today! Check out their flu shot story. Reporting would be one thing, Stan Hinden seems to want to pen a purply, triumph-of-the-human-spirit screenplay instead. Good luck at next year's Toronto Film Festival, Stan! (Post)
- WMATA announces it will be having a town-hall meeting on November 16, 2004. Dovetailing with other town-hall meeting trends in the news, Metro riders will be encouraged to identify the person who is making the Metro suck for everyone else, after which we will be directed to vote for that person's execution. So, fun for everybody. (DCist)

The MeetMature
Hyde is a nightclub owner with a medical fetish. Lisa is an Oscar nominated actress who got her start in the porn industry. With her past work experience, its a match made in SubxDom heaven.
"Are you sure this outfit looks okay?" Megan asked her friend, coming out of her bathroom in a short skirt, pumps and white blouse. Lisa gave her a friend a nod, looking at her from the mirror of her compact since her back was to her friend. Closing it, she turned on her heel to face her friend, a smile on her plump lips. Lisa herself wore a tight black leather skirt that stopped well above her knees and a blue v-neck blouse that not only brought out her eyes, but her large bust as well.
"You look great Megs." The actress reassured her friend, giving her arm a gentle squeeze. "Now, get your purse and lets go." she directed her friend, pointing to the door of her high end loft apartment. On the way out of her home, she grabbed the necessities. Her ID, credit card, phone, lipgloss, a few condoms and her clutch that she all stuffed it into.
The driver she hired for the night was already waiting for them curbside, the door to the backseat of the limo opened for them to slide right into. Lisa thanked the man before getting in after her friend, tucking her ankles under one another like a lady should. But by the end of the night, she knew she would be acting nothing close to ladylike.
Reaching the nightclub, Lisa looked around at the booming scene with a smile on her face. Some folks in line instantly recognized the young star and soon the lights on iPhones and Androids were flashing in her eyes light crazy, fans taking photos of her as she walked passed the line and into the club easily. Once inside, she was able to locate the manager and ask for a private area - just for her and some friends that would be coming later to meet them. After being escorted to a private area of the club, Lisa put in an order for some drinks before settling into her seat - trying to find the next man she planned on taking home with her that night.

Officials at Texas Commerce Bank-New Braunfels and Guaranty State Bank have each reported four counterfeit bills, which have been connected to the San Antonio operation. Secret Service officials have said targets in an otherwise unspectacular drug investigation casually told undercover agents about the counterfeiting operation at Alamo Graphics, 12159 Valliant Drive. Federal officials also speculated much of the $3.5 million in bogus money was earmarked for payments to drug smugglers. At least nine San Antonians have been arrested so far, and more arrests are expected in the continuing probe. The fake bills have mainly plagued stores on San Antonio's northwest side, while Nelson Kohlenberg, security officer at Texas Commerce Bank, said Tuesday his bank had connected one $10 bill, two $20 bills, and one $50 bill to the latest ring. At Texas Commerce, none of the bills came over the teller counters. "The bills all came through businesses, that had accepted them from customers," Kohlenberg added. Dan Dieted at Guaranty State Bank said the facility had received at least four fake bills. "At least three of them were $100 bills," he said. "We don't know where two of them came from, but several others came to the bank through River Road businesses. "They are fairly good counterfeit bills," Dieted said. "The quality of paper isn't the same, though, and that's one way we spotted them. " Robed Hughes it New Braunfels National Bank reported Tuesday he's had "no problems." But he was quick to add the phrase, "not at this time." Kohlenberg went a step further in identifying the fake bills with this latest ring through his Secret Service connections. He even made his findings available for publication. But the public must remember all these characteristics — not just one or two — have to be present on the same bill to identify the fake ones. Counterfeit $10 bills connected with this latest ring have a federal reserve seal of "K." That's the alphabet letter inside the seal to the left of the president's face. The series must be 1981. The check letter, which appears in the bill's upper left comer, must be "H-l," and the face plate, wtiich appears next to the check number in the lower right comer only, must be "H-250." Finally, the back plate on the back side of the bill in the lower right comer must be "28 " Counterfeit $20 bills connected with this ring will have a "K" inside the federal reserve seal, a 1981 series, a "H-l" check number, a "H-250" face plate, and a back plate number of "222." Fake $50 bills will have a "K" inside the federal reserve seal, be a 1977 series, have a check letter of "A-3", a face plate of "A-118", and a back plate number of "49." Kohlenberg has come across to different identifications for $100 bills, connected with the latest counterfeit bust One identified series is a 1977 series, and has a "K" inside the federal reserve seal, a "C-l" check letter, a "C-155" face plate and "109" as a back plate number. The other $100 series has the same characteristics, with the exception of "121" for a back plate number. JBl New JJ-Ul » Braunfels Nbw Braunfels, Texas Hgpald-Zeitung Vol. 92 — No. 167 12 Pages — TUESDAY August 23,1983 25 cents (USPS 377-880' Tower to Senator 'bored' reports state WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John Tower, the Republican chairman of the Armed Services Comittee, will announce today that he will not seek re-election next year, COP sources said. A leading conservative spokesman since he came to the Senate in 1961, Tower will announce his decision at a news conference in Austin this afternoon. A spokesman for Tower, linda Hill, confirmed the news conference but declined to discuss what the senator would say. Reports of his decision not to run first appeared in today's Houston Post. The decision by the 58-year-old incumbent surprised many, for he had already raised more than $1 million for a re-election campaign to keep the seat inherited from Lyndon Johnson. But Tower was also said to be one of the more vulnerable GOP incumbents up in 1984 as Democrats scrambled to win the nomination to oppose him. A GOP source here said that Tower had kept his decision "very close to the vest." "He is simply bored with the job," said the Republican source, who requested anonymity. Another source said Tower's decision appears based on "a feeling on his part that once you've gone through this so many times, you just don't want to grovel for votes again — like a prizefighter that quits at the top," said the official. Tower told close friends in Wichita Falls Sunday that "I'm just tired of being a senator," the Wichita Falls Times and Record News reported today. "I am burned out but I have no plans to leave politics," the friends quoted Tower as saying. "I hope to work for See TOWER, Page 12step down Krueger touted as frontrunner By ROBERT JOHNSON Editor Bob Krueger lost by an eyelash in his bid to unseat John Tower in 1978. Suddenly, he's the man to beat in the 1984 Texas Senate race, and his main opposition apparently will come from his own Democratic Party instead of from the Republican incumbent. "Bob Krueger was the frontrunner in the Democratic primary," Krueger campaign manager Harmon Lisnow said Tuesday. "Now he's the frontrunner in the race." Contacted in New Braunfels Tuesday — before leaving for his Austin campaign headquarters — Krueger indicated he was somewhat suprtsed by the news. But he also said he had heard rumors as far back as 1978 that Tower might not run again. "They were unsubstantiated, so I never gave them any credence," he said. Krueger said Tower's decision "is a tremendous boost to our campaign." Lisnow said, "We're going to take a quantum jump forward." A campaign aide in Austin described Krueger, who arrived there around IO a.m., as * effervescent" as he greeted people in the office. "Obviously, John Tower has been in office for almost 24 years, so one has to respect that," Krueger said. "He was a formidable opponent." "I think Tower knew he was in for a tough race," Lisnow said. "Bob Krueger's very strong." Both Krueger and Lisnow said the candidate's organization, which has remained in place since his narrow defeat six years ago, should put him ahead of the pack. Krueger pointed out he anounced his intention to run See KRUEGER, Page 12 Alicia donations Jennifer Wolfshohl (center) and Kellie and Jerry Young help David Schlather (in van) and James Duffy load items to be sent to victims of hurricane Alicia on the Texas coast Local Jaycees and the Senior Citizens Center have coordinated the Staff photo bt franca* Br toy ti effort, and donations came from several agencies, including the Red Cross, Home Care Center, Volunteer Action Center of Canyon Lake and Civil DefenseConsumer prices took modest jump in July WASHINGTON (AP) - Consumer prices, held in check by a second straight month of falling food costs, rose a moderate 0.4 percent in July, the government said today. For the first seven months of 1983, retail prices rose at an annual rate of just 3.2 percent, bettering the 3.9 percent clip for all of last year. Prices over the last 12 months have risen only 2.4 percent — the smallest gain in 17 years. Also helping hold down the overall rise in July's Consumer Price Index was a modest 0.4 percent increase in gasoline costs. Those prices are now 2.7 percent lower than a year ago, despite May s 4.2 percent surge and June's 0.7 percent gain. The 0.1 percent drop in food prices resulted largely from fresh cuts in meat prices, a trend expected to reverse itself next year. Food prices overall had dropped 0.3 percent in June, the steepest one-month plunge in seven years. In all, July's 0.4 percent seasonally adjusted gain doubled the 0.2 percent advance of the previous month. Even with today's report, however, economists were still predicting that inflation this year will be less than last year's advance, which had been the smallest in a decade. Wrecker ordinance passes final reading The wrecker-permit ordinance became law Monday night. City Council made just two minor changes on the third reading. Council members Barbara Tieken and Max Winkler pushed for a lower permit fee, but were voted down by four other council members following City Manger E.N. Delashmutt's recommendation. "We've lowered it from $360 all the way to $180," Delashmutt said, citing changes made upon second reading of the ordinance. Donnie Seay held that the annual fee of $110, just $15 per month, was not unreasonable. It will only have to be paid once. After the first year, a company can renew its permit for $75 annually, which is a little over $6 per month, Stay said. Tieken moved to amend it to $100, with a $50 renewal, which is still much higher than the City of Austin chargee, she said. Seay, Laverne Eberhard, Joe Rogers and Mayor O.A. Stratemann Jr. voted against the Leading the decline in food prices were a sharp 2.9 percent drop in pork prices and a more moderate 0.7 percent decline in the costs of beef and veal. Fresh fruit prices rose 3.1 percent while fresh vegetable prices tumbled 3.6 percent. Egg prices were off 1.1 percent. While meat prices were declining for the second straight month and further cuts are expected as producers trim their herds rather than pay rapidly rising feedgrain prices, analysts caution that meat prices will begin rising next year as the number of animals going to slaughter slackens. The rising grain prices are largely the product of the drought that has scorched much of the nation's breadbasket. Meals eaten outside the home rose 0.1 percent last month. Food bought at grocery stores declined 0.1 percent. Alcoholic beverage prices were up 0.2 percent. Across the board, prices last month were slightly higher than in J une: —Medical care costs rose 0.6 percent, a bit above the increases of each of the previous six months but much less than the double-digit gains prevalent over the last four years Even so, those costs have soared 8.4 percent in the last year, the sharpest gain for any of the major components of the index —Housing costs were up 0 4 percent, double June's 0.2 percent gain Homeowners' costs rose 0 5 percent while renters expenses rose 06 percent —Home heating oil prices rose 0 2 percent after falling 0 5 percent in June Natural gas prices also turned up. rising 0.2 percent after falling 0 4 percent in the preceding month Since last July, heating oil prices have tumbled 8 9 percent, but natural gas prices have soared 18 6 percent —Used car prices surged 15 per cent following increases of I percent in May and June New car prices were unchanged after climbing slightly in the previous month Overall transportation costs were up 0.5 percent last month. -Clothing prices rose 0 6 percent, following a 0 4 percent gain in June — Entertainment costs increased 0 4 percent, the same as in June All tile changes are adjusted for normal seasonal vanati If last month's 0 4 percent increase held steady for 12 straight months, the yearly advance would be 4 9 percent See INTIMATION. Page I! Inside amendment. Tieken and Winkler in turn voted against the ordinance, but it passed, 4-2. Mayor Pro Tem Gerald Schaefer was absent. The two changes made clarified the status of wrecker operators who don't want to be on the police department's no-preference list (they don't have to get a permit at all); and made the list of required equipment more flexible, so that companies can upgrade as technology improves. Two other points came up this month in Police Chief Burney Boeck's meetings with wrecker drivers, but the council didn't give them serious consideration. At least one operator wanted to do away with the weekly rotation system now used by the police dispatcher, and go on a single-call rotation. Delashmutt didn't favor this. Two drivers liked the idea of putting an allowable tow fee in the ordinance, Boeck reported.

They may not like it now, either. But the City Council is leaning rn the other direction, almost without dissent. Members who opposed more parking before appear to have been won over by a letter from Mrs. Alfred Liebscher, widow of the man who made the city a gift of Prince Solms Park. Plans call for the large green space on the east side of the Comal River to become a landscaped picnic area. Various community groups have resisted moves to pave any more of it than is already paved Mrs Liebscher's letter, received by Mayor O.A. Stratemann Jr. in July, indicated the family would be wilUng to compromise. She called attention to the inconvenience suffered by residents of the neighborhoods around Prince Solms Park, whose streets and driveways are often blocked by the parked cars of Tube Chute customers She said it wouldn't hurt the park much if a new parking lot was put in next to the tree line along San Antonio Street, an area she described as "unsuitable for landscaping," Councilmember Donnie Seay thought the corner at Liberty and San Antonio might be even more unsuitable "That's just a bald caliche hill. Grass hardly grows there,'' he said That's one of the questions the parks board will be looking at Councilmember Barbara Tieken said she d like it to study another question, too. "I think we're looking at something much bigger here than whether we're going to park 165 cars or not I think we're looking at park capacity," she said The Schlitterbahn, down liberty Street, is now limiting the number of people who can come in on a given day. Is there a limit to what the Tube Chute can handle? Tieken wondered Is there a point where too many people in one stretch (rf river becomes a health hazard7 "Surely the Texas Department of Health has some guidelines about how many people can be put in a See PARKING, Page It \ ;

Cherry Mojito
July 7th, 2009
Many San Diegan's have been complaining about June Gloom, but turn the calender to July and just like that Summer is in full force. Perhaps my favorite thing about Summer is the resurgence of cherries! So last week when I had dinner guests it only seemed natural to treat them to something refreshing, a cocktail that screams Summer. So I decided to do something similar to Micheal Ruhlman's
When making a classic mojito my sweetner of choice is normally a simple syrup or brown sugar. However, due to the cherry's delicate flavor I opted for

How to Muddle a Mojito
February 11th, 2008
Mojito Recipe
Mojito. Not too long ago, I discovered this refreshing, minty, sweet, ice cold cocktail. In a pursuit of perfection, I have spent countless hours on a quest for something to satisfy every taste bud in my mouth. As a result, I found this classic Cuban cocktail and have since made it my summer beverage of choice. Don't get me wrong, I have many favorite adult beverages, but we will save that for another post.
I know some of you are thinking, why this summer lush in middle of February? Yesterday in celebration of couple of friends' birthdays, we decided to try out a Cuban restaurant on the Coast Highway. It was a very warm winter day, even for San Diego's standards. The smell of the food was permeating, as was the live Cuban music in the background. The company was great, so naturally the only thing that can enhance the mood even more would be a mojito. It seemed to be the perfect place for the perfect drink. However, what I got was a mojito suitably lavish on the lime and the mint but a sub par on flavor. Perhaps it was the [bad] luck of the draw, so I ordered another while singing in my head "Wish I was a baller, wish I was taller..."thinking that my luck would change. But to no avail; something was not right and I was baffled. Cubans are prided on their exotic creations and spicy girls. Who made these drinks? Joe Schmoe? It's not like I am ordering this drink at a dance club or a sports bar; there is no big line at the bar so I shouldn't have to worry about the bartender lacking on the dose of love being put into the muddling process. I tip for more TLC Papi. I mean this is a traditional Cuban restaurant and the food was great so the last thing I expected was a disappointment on the mojito. Continue Reading »
The Ultimate Shrimp Cocktail Recipe

Shrimp Cocktail Recipe
Last modified 7/27/08
Shrimp Cocktail is an appetizer that is simple to make but highly rewarding. Yet there are some gawd awful shrimp cocktails out there. Take for example the prepared ones you see at the grocery store in the seafood isle. Shrimp neatly arranged in a perfect ring, but tasteless, rubbery, overcooked, and the sauce is artificially red and bland at best. Only if looks could kill. Then there is the frozen shrimp at the Chinese buffet...piled high on your plate you think that it's going to be better than the greasy beef broccoli but, that too, turns out to be a major sodium bomb. I wanted to resurrect this tasty grub, because when done right it is definitely something special.

But there was grim news for hundreds of its City backroom staff as chairman Peter Wuffli threatened the bank may eventually move chunks of its 3,000-strong global IT force to India.
'I would not be surprised if, over time, our people outsourced or offshored capabilities to India and realised savings,' he said.
Bonus winners will be in fixed-income, derivatives, proprietary trading and, unusually for the current market, equities. The final three months was a 'record underwriting quarter', the bank said as it posted full-year results.
Ex-PaineWebber UBS executives Mark Sutton and Joe Grano shared $31.9m (£17.2m) of 'merger-related payments' between 2002 and 2003 for staying on after UBS bought the US bank in 2000. Grano left in January.
UBS chairman Marcel Ospel took a near-50% rise in his pay package, to Swfr17.2m (£7.5m) in 2003 from Swfr11.3m in 2002.
Group fourth-quarter net profits of Swfr1.86bn compared with a Swfr108m loss last year, while full-year net profits were up a third to Swfr6.38bn.
UBS is buying the UK's Laing & Cruickshank Investment Management from Credit Lyonnais for £160m, turning many of Cruickshank's 50 partners - who own 25% of the business - into instant millionaires.Reuse content

I'm not so sure about that....They seem rather persistant on making Uncharted games. Still, if they manage to find someone who will make Uncharted for PSP, I would rather them spend that time on a new game entirely, than to work on a collection of games we have already played.

i know what you mean ND keeps saying how they like to move on but i look at it this way if square Enix can milk brilliant games like the Final Fantasy series and the Kingdom Hearts series then surely ND can give a few more Jak games with merchandise *coughs Jak and Dax collectors edition coughs* and don't get me started on Ratchet and Clank - (Don't worry i'm not having ago at any of thoes games i love them all i'm just using them as examples )
Personally, I think Insomniac Games making their Ratchet...
Personally, I think Insomniac Games making their Ratchet & Clank Future saga was a brilliant idea. Not only did they prove that they could keep a consistent story throughout three games, they maintained everything that made R&C so awesome in the first place. With that said, ND would not be milking Jak & Daxter in the least by making Jak IV. I know what you mean about the collector's edition...I would preorder that sucker in a heartbeat. Actually, with the way Jak 3 concluded, a fourth installment would be the only way to do the series any justice. Maybe more than just four games, but at LEAST one more game. Seriously, Jak 3 ended with so many questions unanswered. They can't just abandon an open-ended story like that.

Date of Stay: July, 2015
A very nice park with nice wide, level, pull through sites and good utilities.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
This is a nice overnight stop while traveling I-40. Gravel roads and sites. They are mostly level. The park offers nothing more than a place to park for the night, no other amenities.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
A one night stay while passing through the area. The park is past it's prime and a bit expensive for what's offered. Gravel roads and site with some washed out. Water and electric only, no sewer. They do have a restaurant and gift shop as part of the Caverns complex.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Utilities are all good. Sites are concrete and the pull through sites are very tight. The back in sites are much larger. They have one washer and dryer in the shower building. Registration is at the Casino/hotel desk.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Rate is for Passport America. Fine for overnight, but a little odd. I didn't like the fact that there was no on/off switch on the 30 amp and you had to plug in hot. Lots of permanent residents. Other than that it was okay for an overnight.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Passport America park. Gravel sites are nice and level. Utilities have recently been upgraded and are solid. Management has four work campers for 38 spots and is working hard on upgrades. I would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Nice, quiet park in a nice quiet town. Across from The Fort which is the attraction in this historic town. Sites were level and utilities were good. Owners are working to improve this park. I would stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
The benefit of this park is that it is convenient to the Amana Colonies. Other than that it is just a big open field with gravel sites. Nothing flashy, just the basics. Verizon worked well. Cable TV is not offered, but there are no trees to interfere with satellite reception. A bit overpriced for what is offered.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Site are gravel and level with plenty of room between sites to extend slides. Management was very helpful and showed us to our site. Cable TV and internet is an additional charge and Verizon air card didn't work very well because of the location between hills. I would stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
A good overnight stop. Good power and water on level gravel sites. There are no restrooms or showers and most disturbing while I was here: tornado warnings were sounding all evenings and there is no provision for any type of shelter. I would stay here again, but only in fair weather.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
If you're looking for a nice family campground for an overnight stop or if you just want to kick back for a few days this is the place. The family that owns the park lives on site and will make you feel at home. The sites are level, gravel with plenty of room for your slides. Electric and water work well and you are just two blocks from the post office, grocery store and bank. Just off I-70 and easy in and out. I will be back when I'm in the area.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
Very nice park. Rate show is based on a monthly stay. The gravel sites are wide and each has a concrete patio. The one negative on my site was the sewer connection was poorly placed and required 20' of hose. I will stay here again if I'm in the area.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
Good overnight stop. Sites are level, wide pull throughs. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rate show was for Passport America. I would stop here again.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
A nice over night stop. The sites were gravel and my site was level and wide enough for slides. Owner lives on the property and self serve check-in is available if the office is closed. I would stay there again if in the area.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
They have just opened new sites that are level, wide and gravel. The office staff was very friendly and accommodating.


text: Posted Monday, Mar. 21, 2011 By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer NEW ORLEANS — Kickoff returns are among football's most popular and exciting plays. The NFL's competition committee wants to make them safer. Committee chairman Rich McKay said Monday at the owners meetings that moving kickoffs up to the 35-yard line and bringing touchbacks out to the 25 have spurred "healthy discussions" among coaches and general managers. So much so that some alterations could be coming to proposed changes, which also include eliminating the blocking wedge and limiting coverage players from long run-ups.

Please confirm your email before writing a review.
great people great staff amazing facility and incredible meds - i would recommend you stop by!!!!
I enjoy Monarch. They have a decent selection of good-not-great quality flower and concentrates. The specials they offer from time to time make the visit worth it. It is not my go-to dispensary in the valley any longer, and I think they could do with a managerial overhaul to better evaluate their staff, where the great employees seem to be short term for whatever reason. I am happy to see them fielding real security employees who aren't sitting with their feet up listening to an ipod all day. Much better image than before.
I will be back to Monarch. If you are looking for a stop-gap or if they have a special that works for you, check them out.

National park resource management planning requires ecological information describing the objectives to be achieved. This information must be quantitative and unambiguous. Since most acts creating United States national parks, beginning with the Yellowstone National Park Act of 1872, specify that these parks should be maintained in a natural condition, resource management objectives for each national park must be defined in terms of quantitative standards of naturalness. Such quantitative standards of naturalness do not yet exist for any national park in the United States. Although this article focuses on US national parks, the same problem exists in national parks, reserves, and wilderness areas throughout the world. The physical evidence needed to develop quantitative standards of naturalness is rapidly disappearing because of the effects of management fires, wildfires, decomposition, successional changes, and other disturbances. Therefore, a nationwide "rescue ecology" program is recommended to recover as much remaining ecological information as possible before it is lost. This information is essential for developing quantitative standards to restore naturalness to national parks.
