Nile Rodgers Presents: The Chic Organization Boxset Vol I / Savoir Faire
Here are 46 reasons why everyone in dance music is seeking out Nile Rodgers right now, from Daft Punk and David Guetta to Chase & Status and Avicii. Back in the Seventies and Eighties his clipped, none-more funky guitar was in demand from Madonna, David Bowie and Duran Duran, who'll hopefully appear on Vol.2 of an extraordinary career document. Here we have Diana Ross cooing over Upside Down and I'm Coming Out, Sister Sledge proving they did more than just We Are Family and a surprising handful of unreleased Johnny Mathis tracks. The Chic originals, written by Rodgers, below, with the late bassist Bernard Edwards, top the lot, from the long version of Everybody Dance to a remastered Le Freak. Good times indeed.

Complete Album Collection Volume One
Some things just ache to be done, hence this lovingly compiled cornucopia, comprising all Bob Dylan's non-compilation studio albums; six of his live ones and an out-takes coda. As a result, The Complete Album Collection (its claim to be only the first volume may be cheeky but Dylan's Bootleg Series would relish assembly) is a cornerstone not just of pop music or even singer-songwriting but of Western culture. Naturally, all Dylan's incarnations are here: the shrill folkie; the prophet of a generation; the man who, single-handed, moved music on; the religious zealot; the lost soul, and the wry elder statesman. Of course, not everything is great but even when Dylan is not great, he remains hypnotising. Even so, for more than half a century, Dylan's strike-rate has been phenomenal. Here's the proof.

30 Years
In recent years, The Pogues have become the musical equivalent of the Christmas jumper that gets an airing every December before being swiftly resigned to the back of the wardrobe. However, this eight-disc, career-spanning box set is a reminder of their earlier selves — the gutter poets who chronicled the vicissitudes of working-class lives with a searing poetry and passion. From the spittle-flecked folk-punk of Waxie's Dargle to the accordion-led romp of The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn, it's proof that Shane MacGowan once had a muse to match the booze. Hell, in the early recordings you can even make out what he's singing about. That the past 17 years have heralded no new albums speaks volumes about The Pogues leader's demise. But if you need a reminder as to why so many people are still willing to indulge him, you'll find it here.

The Studio Recordings
This is a whopping great box set for the hardcore Jam freak in your life — eight chunky vinyl discs covering the group's six studio LPs, plus two more featuring all the singles and B-sides that did not appear on the original albums. Oh, and a hardback book. And photos and memorabilia. And a voucher for creating MP3 versions (presumably so that you can hang the discs on the wall). Much of the material needs no introduction but it is fascinating to hear the way Paul Weller transcended his early enthusiasms — the choppy guitar style of Doctor Feelgood's Wilko Johnson, the anthemic urgency of The Who, the pop nostalgia of The Kinks — to create an exemplary body of work. Songs such as Down in the Tube Station at Midnight and The Eton Rifles remain as fresh as the day they were recorded. Perhaps less successful are the occasional soul covers — Weller always had a soul-boy disposition and, if memory serves, the first time I saw The Jam live, the set consisted almost entirely of these covers — such as In the Midnight Hour and Heat Wave. But the Batman theme tune always raises a smile.
Pete Clark
Of all the major US jazz figures extant, Californian tenorman Charles Lloyd is probably the most bankable over here. UK concert-goers and record-buyers just love his keening post-Coltrane tone, his flower-power lyricism, the dramatic way he hoists his saxophone bell skyward and his impeccably green politics. At live appearances, the kaftan-clad maestro plays bamboo flutes handmade by native craftsmen in endangered rainforests. His latest boxed set selects five of his mellowest Oslo albums for the fastidious German ECM label, including Canto, The Call and Notes from Big Sur. Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson is featured throughout, with bassists Palle Danielsson or Anders Jormin and drummers Jon Christensen, Ralph Peterson or Billy Hart. Fans will lap it up like mulled wine on an Oslo evening.

A Mary Christmas
From Aretha Franklin's This Christmas to Mariah Carey's not entirely dissimilar Merry Christmas, the festive album is a rite of passage for any passing soul legend. Mary J. Blige is every bit their vocal equal and A Mary Christmas simply allows to do as she will with Little Drummer Boy (fabulously over-wrought, plus choir); Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (finger clicky); The First Noel (rather beautifully, alongside gospel belters The Clark Sisters) and that hitherto unanointed seasonal chestnut My Favourite Things (deliciously slowly). As with everything Blige does, there's an undertow of vocal magic and even when she's grappling with something as cheesy as the undeniably unchristmassy When You Wish Upon a Star (alongside a rocket propelled Barbra Streisand), she adds something new and wondrous.
John Aizlewood
Christmas Songs
If anyone dozes off after Christmas lunch, stick this on. Teenagers being forced against their will to spend time with their families will especially enjoy this high spirited take on the seasonal classics by the Californian punk veterans. Little Drummer Boy has never had drumming like this. They race through eight carols in under 20 minutes, plus a new version of their 1993 original, American Jesus – a skewering of Evangelical Christianity which dampens the fun mood and confirms that they won't be in the front pew at church on Christmas morning. The rest of the album sounds as if it was knocked off in an afternoon – rough edges, lots of shouting and tonnes of energy. One for the seasonal novelty pile.
David Smyth
Wrapped in Red
Eleven years on from winning the inaugural American Idol, Kelly Clarkson is long overdue a Christmas album. While hardly the adventurous option, this record does at least include a few original numbers. Admittedly, these are of varying quality – the title track is a cracker; Every Christmas is a turkey – but it's the thought that counts. Clarkson comes down with a bad case of the Mariah Careys on the window-shattering Underneath the Tree. For the most part, however, she's a tasteful singer capable of breathing new life into hoary old numbers like Baby It's Cold Outside and White Christmas. Beware, though: the whiny pop of 4 Carats will leave you with a worse headache than any Christmas day hangover.
Rick Pearson
Snow Globe
According to Erasure main man Vince Clarke, Christmas is not necessarily a happy time for everyone, although Erasure's umpteenth does nothing to dampen the party spirit, being a collection of original songs and hardy annuals. There is a certain sadness here, but also a generous helping of fairy dust. Bells of Love, Make It Wonderful, Loving Man and Blood on the Snow are original songs, the last of which can be counted as a corker. Elsewhere, Vince and his faithful vocalist Andy Bell give us renditions of ditties such as Gaudete (one for scholars of Latin and Steeleye Span), Silent Night, Bleak Midwinter and White Christmas. This record may be one for those who are ambivalent about the commercial onslaught of Christmas, but it is certainly no turkey.
Pete Clark
French New Wave
(Jazz on Film Records)
Hunting for that perfect boxed set for the jazz fan in your life but unsure which artist to choose? Select the black box with a delectable Jeanne Moreau on the cover, being serenaded by the muted trumpet of a very cool Miles Davis. The five movie-soundtrack discs inside recall a magical era when young black American stars were discovering the delights of unprejudiced Paris during a golden age of French cinema. Result: great jazz by Miles, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and The Modern Jazz Quartet, in great movies (Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Breathless, No Sun in Venice and others) by iconic film-makers such as Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, Roger Vadim and Joseph Losey. Pas de problème, as they say on the Left Bank.
Jack Massarik
Fado E Amor
(Wrasse Records)
Carlos do Carmo is Portugal's elder statesman of fado and a bridge between the great Amalia Rodrigues and today's new fado generation. On this record he sings duets with all the current fado stars, including male singer Camané and the well-known Mariza, both of whom he helped train at an early age. Other singers included are Carminho, Cristina Branco, Ana Moura and Ricardo Ribeiro, the latter two's songs being particularly fine. They are backed by a very fine trio with José Manuel Neto on tingling Portuguese guitar. The record ends with a "posthumous" duet with Carlos's mother, Lucilia do Carmo, a famous fadista in her own right. A must for fado lovers.

Black Panties
Regarded by many (not least himself) as an R&B genius, Robert Kelly's 12th solo album is as slick and slinky as they come. Unfortunately, from its embarrassing title to Every Position (not a discussion of orienteering), via Show Ya Pussy (nothing to do with competitively exhibiting felines), Black Panties sinks in the swamp of its own tawdry, misogynistic grubbiness. A grown man of 46, Kelly acts like a frustrated, women-fearing 13-year-old inventing tales of boudoir derring-do to impress his equally inexperienced friends. Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland pops up to duet appealingly on All the Way and My Story shows Kelly can still be musically dazzling, but when he's not indulging in toe-curling sexual imagery (Cookie being perhaps the most grisly offender), he's ranting at those who dare to question him on Shut Up. Once you've played it, you may wish to wash your hands.
John Aizlewood
Join the Dots
Formed from the ashes of Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong, Toy have successfully remarketed themselves as lank-haired psych-rock revivalists. The Londoners' self-titled debut gained them favourable comparisons with The Horrors and Syd Barrett. Its follow-up, Join the Dots, took twice as long to record and, initially at least, it doesn't seem like time well spent. Conductor's seven minutes of wordless krautrock is as uninteresting as it is inessential, while at over an hour in length the album is in danger of overstaying its welcome. However, when the melodies emerge, as on the dreamy title track and Smithsian To A Death Unknown, you still won't want to put Toy down.
Rick Pearson
Because the Internet
Donald Glover has to work harder than most rappers to be taken seriously, given that his background is as an actor and writer in the TV comedies Community, Girls and 30 Rock. His first album as Childish Gambino, Camp, was bright and chirpy, but this follow-up is a hazier proposition. He sounds glum above slow piano chords on Zealots of Stockholm (Free Information) and fills The Party with harsh electronic buzzing. He has a striking modern sound now, at times dark and minimal, at others reminiscent of the lush digital R&B of Frank Ocean and The Weeknd[CORRECT]. Though a charming chorus is unearthed on 3005, hit potential is slim. Still, no one will be laughing at this brave reinvention.
David Smyth
Life, Love & Hope
(Frontiers Records)
Dear old Tom Scholz – to all intents and purposes, Boston – is a throwback. He is an analogue freak, romantic, basketball nut and mad for the vegetarian lifestyle. And he writes the worst lyrics ever without batting an eyelid. Life, Love & Hope is the first Boston studio LP for more than 10 years. Let's, as Tom might say, close the door on that one. This new LP won't disappoint fans of the old days. There is the old-fashioned, lush AOR of Heaven on Earth, More Than a Feeling revisited on Didn't Mean to Fall in Love and a completely pointless instrumental called Last Day of School. Tom does Bon Jovi on You Gave Up on Love and revisits an old song with Someone. Tom taught Brian May all he ever knew about guitar. He deserves a place in a time capsule on somewhere like Pluto.
Pete Clark
Live in NYC
There's something special about Gretchen Parlato. The very opposite of diva, she's a bass-player's daughter who prefers depth to histrionics. Pay attention or you might miss her subtle changes in timing and note selection. With little apparent effort, her small, pure voice creates a distilled intensity that leaves ever more fans hoping to find her latest release under their Christmas tree. Among other worthy numbers they'll discover charming versions of Herbie Hancock's Butterfly, Lauryn Hill's All that I Can Say, Simply Red's Holding back the Years and Wayne Shorter's classic, Juju. Her group, which wowed King's Place earlier this year, includes the excellent Taylor Eigsti on piano, bassist-songwriter Alan Hampton and drummers Mark Giuliana or Kendrick Scott. And a 35-minute bonus DVD too.
Jack Massarik
Maison des Jeunes
(Transgressive Records)
Africa Express has been bringing Western and African musicians together since 2006 and produced some legendary live shows – in the UK, Europe and Africa. This album was recorded recently in the Maison des Jeunes club in Bamako and includes some real treasures. The Timbuktu band Songhoy Blues were formed as a reaction to the jihadist music ban earlier this year and team up with Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zimmer for some fabulous electric guitar blues. Young vocalist Kankou Kouyaté (niece of Bassekou) sings an exquisite version of Salif Keita's Yamore, produced by Damon Albarn. There's thrilling talking drum playing too – backing British singer Ghostpoet, among others. A digital-only release, with a physical edition early 2014.
Simon Broughton
Released on Mon Dec 2
Britney Jean
Britney Spears seemed to lose all interest in music long before she became a soul-sapping soap opera. Since 2011's clumsy Femme Fatale, she's turned 30, but for all her eighth album's 33 writers and 18 producers, beyond the surprisingly affecting Now That I Found You (co-written by The Script/The Voice's Danny O'Donoghue) and T.I.'s lively cameo on Tik Tik Boom, there's no hint of personality within the directionless clutter. The over-stretched will.i.am phones in yet another average producing, writing and duetting performance across a clutch of filler, as Britney Jean attempts to recast Spears as Madonna, circa Vogue. Instead, Spears's robotic vocals, an absence of choruses, a surfeit of lyrical cheese ("you're my light when it gets dark") and a lack of care and attention ensures she's closer to Paris Hilton, circa any time.
John Aizlewood
Rebecca Ferguson is the finest singer The X Factor has ever produced. If there are more hotly contested titles in music, the 2010 runner-up is beginning to transcend her talent-show beginnings to become an interesting artist in her own right. The Liverpudlian's debut, Heaven, was a study in retro-soul that gained her favourable comparisons with Macy Gray and Adele. Without scaring away the mums, its follow-up, Freedom, embraces a slightly bolder sound. I Hope is full of big beats and woman-done-wrong rhetoric; My Freedom is a dancey ode to taking control. It's all tied together by the rough velvet of Ferguson's classic soul voice – one we'll be hearing for years to come.
Rick Pearson
(Bella Union)
Japanese-Swedish singer-songwriter Sumie's younger sister is Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon, whose gorgeous tones have been heard on albums by Gorillaz and DJ Shadow. Her sibling's debut bewitches in a very different way – just acoustic guitar notes plucked in 1-2-3-4 loops and her slow, sweet voice. It may seem like a critical cop-out to say that if you like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you will like, but the album's stark, uniform tone scratches such a specific itch that it will either be exactly the dose of late night melancholia you require, or drift too politely towards the background. It sets a dark folk mood and sticks to it with admirable dedication.
David Smyth
Live from KCRW
(Bad Seed Ltd)
This is something of an in-between album from Old Nick and the boys, having been recorded live for a Los Angeles radio station between gigs. It is none the worse for that, as Nick and his not ostensibly merry men are evidently on the most robust form. The 10 songs – plus a couple more, if you opt for the vinyl version – are a mixture of old favourites plus a quartet of tunes from their last studio album, Push the Sky Away. Higgs Boson Blues kicks off proceedings with its irresistible blend of Lucifer and Robert Johnson, telling a tale of how the devil can be found in the most minute detail. The Mercy Seat remains a classic with its meshing of images – in this case, the electric chair and the throne of God – and if there is a more compelling lyricist than Nick Cave currently around, I would dearly love to know his name. The great beauties in terms of melody are Mermaids and Push the Sky Away, the former drenched in waves of guitar, the latter enriched by Barry Adamson's lush organ. If only other bands could make such good use of their spare time.
Pete Clark
Now More Than Ever
(Abstract Harmonix)
One of this year's best UK jazz records comes from an unexpected source. Ray Russell, former rough-diamond jazz-rocker turned cat-of-all-trades studio guitarist, has been pondering his latest statement for decades, a hiatus clearly devoted to serious study both as player and composer. The results here are remarkable. Behold a proud new instrumental voice, projecting brilliant originals with an emotive power and scintillating technique in John McLaughlin's league. Among heavyweights such as keyboarder Jim Watson, bassists Jimmy Jackson and Mo Foster, and drummers Gary Husband and Ralph Salmins -- the latter outstanding with Guy Barker's London Jazz Festival concert orchestra recently -- Russell sounds in his element. He's an artist of the rarest kind, the type that takes aeons to develop.
Jack Massarik
Siberie M'Etait Contéee
(Because Records)
In his excellent book Clandestino: In Search of Manu Chao, Peter Culshaw says how the singer used to think French-language songs were "shit", only coming later to artists like Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf. There's certainly lots of chanson behind these jaunty, satirical French songs about Paris that Chao recorded in 2004, but are only being released here for the first time. The punning title means "if Paris was told to me" and with the help of Culshaw's book the songs have a cheery charm, but without that context they are only for Manu Chao completists. But next week there's the re-release of his masterpiece Clandestino, which has been unavailable for some time. That is classic Manu Chao.

Where there is a will, there is a way
The last week or so has been decidedly eventful. We both have all of our visas. (YAY!) I had to go for a chest X-ray before Australia would grant me a working holiday visa. (I'm not sick or dying, good to know). We have a shipping company that is moving our stuff to Aus for us - they arrive next Thursday. We've already *trial* packed our bags to see how much stuff we can take (or rather, can't take), started ...
Reading to Purley on Thames
I've already spent an hour at the gym doing a Body Attack class this morning but the bright sunshine outside is too good to miss so I nip home to get my walking boots. Then I scrounge a lift to Reading with Ian who is headed in that direction this morning. He drops me off at Thames Valley Park and I set off wrapped up in scarf, hat and gloves as it's also very chilly! The path here is pleasant, none of the thick mud and puddles encountered on the last segment, but a good metalled ...
London revisited
George and I have both spent time in London - I was living here 27 years ago (is it really that long ago??), and for him it is more like 40 years!! We've had very brief visits over subsequent years, either on the way back from a family visit to Salisbury, or with an awful lot of teenagers on school trips. So the luxury of spending 10 full days here, living very centrally (and comfortably!), with no obligations to visit anyone has been a very liberating experience! Our marvellous ...

We caught the tube to Westminster and, as it was just after Chris' tour had finished, we wandered back to the pub where he always has lunch after a tour. And yes, he was there and was able to get one of the other guides to do his later tour so he ...
We're going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo
It was a great feat to get out of bed at 8am this morning and alas Nic did not make it. So at ten am we set off for the wonderful London Zoo. The tube and hour walk was bright and cheerful and we stopped for coffee which made everything better. There was a long line when we arrived but it moved at quick speed and the ticket seller let us through with our '2 for 1' train passes! We quickly joined other zoo goers to ...

Family, Friendship and Love.
Ara started the barricade the door, then Nathen said that he would be the distraction. I put both my hands on his shoulders, and shook my head. "No. I'll go." I kissed Nathen's forehead, and his body shimmered. Everyone was safe...for a while, anyway. The room had two doors. Handy. One that the Shadows didn't know about. Aarn and Lucy came forward. "You can't go! You're the one they want!" They told me, hugging me. I pulled them off me gently. I nodded.
"If I can get them all to follow me, which they will, you'll all be able to get out, and I'll catch up." I told them. Some bowed their head, some shook their heads, and Jyll ran over and threw her arms round me, crying both water and fire. Geoff looked at me, then hugged me. So did Aarn and Lucy, and Corby, and Kathryn, and Leigh even came over. Ara kept barricading the door, with a few tears down his face. I made hundreds of fire bullets come out of my hands, and stacked them into piles.
Jyll didn't let go of me, when all of the others did. "You said we were a family!" she bubble-wrote. Something I didn't expect Ara to do, was come over to me, and hold me close, and said, "Yeah. You were right. We are like a family. And we're going to Keep together, and keep safe...as a family." I held Ara, and I began to cry sparks. I pulled away slightly, and looked round the room. It seemed that everyone had heard what Ara had said, and were either nodding, whispering, helping barricade the door, and Jyll was making her fingers go out long. I made some fire manikins, and she destroyed all of them. She giggled innocently.
A family....a family wo cares for each other, and who are not willing to let any of the family go to harm. This was a true family. Family. I love that word. The same as Friendship and Love.
Family, Friendship and Love. The Perfect combination od what would get us through all of this.

Well, there is the minor point that that's all the end-user has to work with, so they'll send patches relative to ./configure which we'll need to backtrace into configure.in. Or else we'll get something like "this needs to be changed." On some OSs, unfortunately, you have to edit ./configure to get it to work or to "override" some assumptions. -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski ||| email@example.com ||| http://www.jaguNET.com/ "That's no ordinary rabbit... that's the most foul, cruel and bad-tempered rodent you ever laid eyes on"

Chapter 3
"You took a long time," Jack observed.
"Are you jealous?" I asked playfully, trying to be casual. I noticed however that my heart wasn't in it. I sighed in resignation.
"I was about to say yes, but something's wrong, so no, of course not - I'd only say yes as a joke. What's the problem, darling?"
It was strange how I'd forgotten our relationship existed. "Nothing, Jack, I'm just tired. Something weird's going on in my head, too. It feels like my subconscious is ruling my mind."
"Oh, that doesn't sound too good."
"No... Do you have a spell for it?"
"You want me to cast a spell on you? I've never used magic on you before. I always felt it would be improper to interfere with my lover's life."
"Well, you're going to be making me feel better, so it's okay."
"All right then," he said dubiously. He pulled out his amber. "Um, let's see now... Subconscious thoughts to depths return, so fires of consciousness can burn. I think that should do it."
I felt much more awake but sort of...fuzzier about the world. There were more grey areas than the black and white I'd been viewing a minute ago. I knew that I still loved Jack but was less sure about my feelings for Ross. This felt about right for my mind in the circumstances and I smiled at Jack to show my appreciation.
He smiled back.
There was a brief silence during which no one really knew what to say.
"Is Ross your kingfisher?" Jack blurted out suddenly.
I wasn't ready for this, so I lied. "No."
"It's just that you did spend an awful long time in his room."
"Don't worry. I love you."
"But, something's changed, hasn't it? You're not the Rosa who was kissing me earlier today."
"Well, I know about witches, now."
"There's something else, though. You seem to have changed as a person."
I sighed again. "I think I have. But that doesn't matter. What matters is you have the best birthday possible. We still have to give you your other birthday present."
I was surprised that it was only midday as I glanced at a clock on our way out. It felt like years had passed.
The other birthday present was a stroll along the riverside in the park, followed by dinner in a restaurant. During the stroll, the weather was almost summer-like, with the warm, bright sun blazing down from a cloudless sky.
"It's funny," I mused, not really concentrating on what I was saying. "I never thought Ross would be capable of love. It sounds quite harsh, but I was dead surprised."
"Who does he love then?" Jack asked, looking puzzled. "He must have really gotten over his differences with you if he told you something he hasn't told his best friend."
I blushed. "Um, no one."
Jack frowned. "But, the way you said that..."
"I meant it in the caring sense rather than the romantic one," I lied. "I was surprised by the way he cared if your cake got dropped." I stopped. "Your cake!"
"It's okay, Rosa," Jack laughed. "Ross put it back in the fridge when you fainted."
"Really? Oh, that was good of him. But then I suppose, he can be very lovely."
Jack snorted. "Has he brainwashed you?"
"Yeah," I replied unthinkingly, likely to say any random time while I wasn't focusing properly.
"What?" Jack sounded amused. "He used his sapphire?"
"No, his charm." I quickly clamped my mouth shut, horrified at my lapse in logical thinking.
Luckily, witches seemed to use charms. "Which one?"
"Does it matter?" I asked evasively.
"Yes, if we're going to undo it. I'm going to give him a really good telling off when we get back. The sheer cheek of it."
"Well, er, I don't know which one it was. It was just ... mesmerising."
"Oh, that's too bad. We'll have to wait for the effects to fade then. I'm sorry. I can't believe he'd do something like that, though."
"Maybe if we popped back to see him, he'd undo it. Then we could also do the cake." I was shocked at what I was thinking while I said this. Even though my subconscious was no longer ruling over my thoughts, I was imagining myself kissing Ross.
"That's a good idea." For one second, my heart lurched and I thought he was responding to my desire to kiss his best friend behind his back when I realised he meant about going home to undo this magic spell I'd invented.
At Jack's house, I rushed in and found Ross on the couch. I ran to him and sat down quickly beside him. He looked startled. I touched his arm and thought hurriedly, 'I've told Jack you've brainwashed me with a charm. He thinks you're going to undo it.'
What? Slow down, Rosa. Why did you tell him you're brainwashed?
'Er, I was being random. Perhaps, because, in a sense, you have put a spell on me.'
Well, that wasn't very clever of you. I'm tempted to put a real spell on you while I'm pretending to take this fake one off.
'Very funny.'
Wasn't joking, darling.
I looked at him, appalled. He was just grinning.
What sort of spell should I cast?
'A love spell,' I thought helplessly as I was suddenly caught and transfixed by his dancing eyes. I felt my appalled look disappearing to be replaced by one of dreamy serenity.
You obviously don't need that. Though I could make you totally infatuated with Jack for the evening so it's more pleasurable.
'Oh, that's so lovely.'
Hardly. You'd be totally incoherent and perhaps a bit embarrassing. You wouldn't be able to take your eyes off him.
'I don't mind. I feel really bad for being your rose-dove.'
You want me to, then?
'Yup. And if it goes badly, that can be my punishment for being stupid.'
Right. Oh, er, you might want to stop stroking my arm before Jack comes in.
I blushed as I stopped caressing his arm, something I hadn't even noticed I was doing. I awkwardly placed my hand in my lap.
"Strange how good that felt," he muttered.
Jack walked in, looking thoroughly amused by my speedy entrance. His brow furrowed when he saw Ross, though.
"Ross, what were you doing brainwashing Rosa?"
Ross shrugged. "I was testing a theory."
"You could've undone it. She's going to be really humiliated by the things you made her say when she regains full control of her thoughts and feelings."
"What did she say?"
"It's not funny, you know."
"I know." Ross fought back a smile. "What did she say?"
"She said you were very lovely."
"Well, that's a lie."
"I know. That's why we've come here to get the spell undone. Which charm did you use, by the way?"
"Oh, the will overpowering one, of course. Thyme and meadow grass were its constituents, I think. But I can use my sapphire to undo it."
"I don't care how you undo it: just do it."
"Okay, okay, I'm on it."
He pulled out a brilliant blue gemstone which glittered in the light. He turned off the TV using the remote and pointed the sapphire at me.
"You shouldn't even have used magic on my girlfriend in the first place," Jack muttered.
"Are you finished? I'm trying to do a spell here."
He gave me a quick smile before chanting, "Let Rosa's will no longer be found, to the will of this Fire witch bound."
I felt completely the same as before. This annoyingly meant that I still longed to be wrapping my arms around him and kissing him, regardless of the fact Jack was there. I lightly brushed my fingers against Ross's hand, in a movement so subtle that Jack didn't see it. 'Help with my love for you too, please.'
Nope, I'm leaving that as it is. Keep the contact a second.
'Let Rosa be found starry-eyed whenever she's at Jack's side.'
I stopped touching his arm and smiled thankfully at him. He rolled his eyes. He briefly touched my hand. 'That was meant to be punishment, remember?'
I rolled my eyes before standing and heading to the kitchen to fetch Jack's cake.
Ross and I sang 'Happy Birthday' to Jack before he blew out the candles and we all had a slice of the delicious chocolate cake.
Jack and I left the house a little later to go to the restaurant. When I was near him, I felt wondrously breath-taken and a little dizzy from exhilaration at being close to him. He seemed to notice this almost straight away.
"Rosa, you're staring," he murmured as we sat down in the restaurant. He was flattered but totally bemused.
"D-do you want me to stop?" I was finding it difficult to breathe, so it was almost impossible to talk.
Jack failed in fighting the smile appearing on his face. "Why are you suddenly so ... infatuated?" he asked quietly, trying not to laugh.
"Er... I ... d-don't know..." I had a sudden urge to reach across the table and stroke his cheek. I sat on my hands and fidgeted.
"You look lovestruck, darling, and it's flattering, baby, it really is, but people are going to start to notice and you don't want to feel embarrassed, do you?"
"Um..." I'd lost track of what he'd been saying while staring into his warm brown eyes.
"Rosa, stop," he chuckled. "Or I'll have to get out my amber, and I really don't want to do that."
"You don't need your amber," I said breathlessly. "I'm under your spell already."
"No, darling, I was going to use it to help you with your self-control. You know you're stroking my hand under the table, don't you?"
"Oh, that's why I'm so happy," I murmured, gazing lovingly at the features of his perfect face. This felt so natural: it was like I'd been born to be infatuated by Jack.
"And you're sending me your thoughts! Oh, please stop, Rosa, or we'll have to leave."
"What?" I was momentarily distracted. "I'm not telepathic though."
"No, but you're shouting your thoughts, and I can tell they're directed at me."
"Ah, well, I can't even tell I'm doing it. I can't stop, Jack. Sorry, darling."
"Rosa, we might have to go. The waiter's staring at us."
"What am I doing?"
"You're just staring at me with a look of wonder on your face. And such love. The sort of love you show me when it's just the two of us. To be honest, you look hypnotised."
"Enchanted..., bewitched..." I said, finding words to describe my condition.
"And very uninhibited. You sound drunk, Rosa. I really think we'll have to leave."
"As long as you're with me the whole time. I'd dive into shark-infested waters if you were by my side."
"And then you'd die in agony. Snap out of it, Rosa." He was imploring me with his eyes and I so desired to please him and do as he said, but I was completely overpowered by my love for him.
"I'd die in immeasurable bliss."
"Rosa, we're leaving now." He stood up, and chuckling, pulled me to my feet. His arms were around my waist to steady me but they had quite the opposite effect. He was holding me! I collapsed, my knees literally just falling out from underneath me.
"Rosa! I'll have to carry you, sweetheart."
"Oh, please do! I'll faint either way."
"Faint?! Rosa, what's happened to you?" He picked me up, much to the bemusement of all the other people in the restaurant. I didn't care. I was in love. I was soaring through skies where nothing could touch me, least of all embarrassment. He took me out of the restaurant, looking extremely self-conscious.
"Was that cake alcoholic?" he asked me, as we stepped out into the night. The cool air woke me up slightly. I'd been feeling light-headed, as if I couldn't get enough air.
"No. I think you're intoxicating enough without having had a drink."
Jack placed me down on the grass of the field outside the restaurant. My knees buckled again and I was sitting on the ground.
"Rosa! What is this?"
I pulled him down. He knelt before me and gazed searchingly into my eyes, now more concerned than entertained.
"It's love, Jack," I said dramatically. I even sounded drunk to myself.
"I suspect magic," he murmured.
"Whatever it is, it's a good thing," I said.
"Well, darling, I'm not sure it is. You're besotted."
"So, what if I am? I just want you to hold me tonight and make me forget everything else in the world."
"I think you've done that yourself. Rosa, please..." But he couldn't finish because I was pulling him down towards me and kissing him. I ran my fingers through his hair, delighting in the feeling of his soft hair under my skin, and stroked his cheek. We sat there and kissed for what could've been hours for all I cared.
Jack dropped me off at my house. I had stopped being starry-eyed by then so I could think properly.
I walked in, saw my parents and remembered today's shocking revelation. I decided to pretend everything was normal for a while, to see if they were going to tell me themselves.
"How was your day, Rosa?" my mother asked from the sofa. She looked exhausted. I didn't blame her. She tried to juggle her job, housework and trips to the gym and rarely had enough energy to do anything but sleep the rest of the time.
"Um, it was good," I answered. "I was interested by the fact that Jack owns some amber."
My mother straightened up a bit. Her chance to tell me herself about witches was approaching.
My dad, who'd been working on the computer, turned to face me. "And why did he say he had that?"
I shrugged. "I just noticed he had it. He didn't really talk much about it."
Both parents looked slightly relieved. They obviously hadn't planned on telling me yet.
"Well, amber's a nice stone," my mum said, smiling.
I crossed my arms. "When were you going to tell me about witches?"
My mum almost jumped off her seat.
"Who told you?" my dad asked angrily.
"Oh, so it's true then? That magic and things are real? And you were just going to keep it a secret from me? Why?"
"Honey, we didn't want to preoccupy you." Mum answered. "You might have become distant from your friends or your work might have suffered. We wanted you to have as normal a life as possible."
"When were you going to tell me?!"
"After you'd finished school. That's why we were always urging you to take a gap year. So you could have time to deal with it in your own way."
She sounded so caring, so sincere, that I was almost tempted to stop being angry. But they'd lied to me. My own parents.
"Who told you?" my dad repeated.
"Ross," I answered. "But don't you dare tell him off. I'm glad I know now."
My dad turned to my mum, mystified.
"Why would Ross tell her? She hates him."
"Are you two witches?" I asked, ignoring the comment.
My dad nodded. "Your mum was born a human but then she took a potion that would make her a witch so she aged at the same rate as me. I was born a witch."
"Another reason we didn't tell you was that we knew you weren't going to be a witch yourself. While I have witch powers, I still have the human gene and there's no history of witches in my family so you were never going to be one," my mum said.
"I don't care. I still had a right to know."
"Why did Ross tell you?" my dad asked musingly.
"That's another thing I want to know about. He said something about a rose-dove. He told me the rose-dove is destined to love the kingfisher."
Mum paled. "He's your kingfisher?
I nodded. "I guess."
Dad frowned. "But you hate him, don't you?"
"I don't think that makes a difference, Tim," my mother murmured. "I mean, you tried to make me forget when we found out."
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Well, your father and I are kingfisher and rose-dove, honey. He tried to make me forget because he was really against the idea."
"And we can help you forget too," Dad added. "If you don't like Ross."
"But, why would you want to do that? We're meant to be lovers."
"We know, but if either of you aren't ready for love, or you still wanted to be with Jack, then it might be a good thing. What are you going to say to him?"
I frowned. "Well, I was going to think about it tonight. I don't want to forget, though."
"Are you okay, Rosa?" my mum asked gently. "We know you don't like Ross."
"Well, actually, that changed today," I replied. "He's all right."
"And how did he respond to this discovery?" Dad asked.
"Well, he was okay with it. He just told me not to be affectionate or over-soppy with him."
"Well, if he's what you want, then have a great relationship with him. Sorry about Jack." My mum looked truly apologetic.
"Just be careful," my dad murmured. "I've heard he's not the nicest guy."
I went to bed that night feeling confused and sad. I wondered what else in the world was different than previously thought. I was strangely calm about the way everything had been thrown into question. Perhaps it was because I was blessedly too tired to think straight.
The great mystery in my life... Solved. And it was nothing that I could have previously conceived...
I loved Jack - of course I did. The guy I'd been best friends with since we'd started going to school together. The guy who had taken me out into the garden on my 16th birthday and started our relationship in the most romantic way. A lump rose in my throat. How could I have kissed Ross today? Was I out of my mind? And tonight. I wish I'd been lovestruck every second of every day I had spent with Jack, just to prove how much I was in love with him and how I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. I remembered a daydream I had once had about us getting married. I'd always hoped he'd be the one. Ross had never crossed my mind as a potential husband, ever. He still didn't. I couldn't see him in any sort of suit at any sort of formal event, and marriage was a rite of a passage that I so wanted to go through.
Maybe I should forget about him, I said to myself. He tried to see my soul today. That wasn't right. He shouldn't be allowed to get away with that. What if he ignores my wishes again?
But even my parents seemed to think that a relationship with him was inevitable. And that part of me deep within had wanted to love Ross more than Jack and had wanted me to forget about my boyfriend. It had proved that much when I'd kissed him. I'd kissed him, not the other way around.
But Jack... I'd miss him so much! How could I live without him by my side? Even before we'd started going out, I'd loved him: as a brother when we were young and romantically when I'd first started being interested in love.
And, there was another thing! Ross was 21! It was weird. How could I date someone who looked my age but was actually 5 years older than me?
I fell asleep, my head spinning from the arguments in my head.
What a great day it had been. Presents in the morning, lunch at my favourite Chinese restaurant and then bowling in the afternoon. My friends had all gone home, except from Jack. He, Ross and I were sitting in the living room, talking and eating the cake that hadn't been given out to my other friends. Ross had his usual bored expression on. I wouldn't have invited him if he hadn't been Jack's best friend. It was about 6 o'clock, so it was dark outside (it being November). I found it strange, then, when Jack asked me if we could step into the back garden for a moment. I said yes, though I was puzzled, and grabbed a coat and put on boots before we walked out of the back door into the cool night air.
Jack gazed up at the stars, before looking down at me, smiling mysteriously. "They're really pretty, aren't they?"
"Yeah," I murmured, wondering if he'd just wanted to come outside to talk about stars.
"I love the night. It's so beautiful. Especially when the moon shines down and casts that pale, slivery glow over everything. And the stars seem to twinkle in that wide expanse which stretches your imagination. I think you're like the night, Rosa."
"In what way?" I asked, puzzled.
"Well, aside from being beautiful..." He grinned as I blushed. "Everyone around you is touched by your heart, your tenderness and ability to see the best in people. In the same way that the moon illuminates things, people feel warm and as if they know more when your kindness shines upon them."
A tear came to my eye at his wonderful words. If only he knew how I adored his charm.
"Thank you," I murmured, sighing slightly as my heart tried to tuck away its longing to beat only for him.
"Oh, Rosa, you think I'm only saying these things to be nice..."
He rested his hands on my shoulders and stared deep into my eyes, melting my heart with those warm brown eyes. Under the soft moonlight, his brown hair was darker, but it still retained that soft look which always made me want to twine my fingers in it. I'm losing myself in him, I thought as my heart pounded and my breath caught in my throat.
"Do you know what you mean to me?" he asked quietly.
What was he talking about? I shook my head, more confused than ever.
"Oh, Rosa, I thought you knew." He lifted one of his hands to brush his finger down my cheek.
"Kn-knew what?" I stammered, startled by the intensity of his gaze.
"That you're everything to me," he replied, before leaning down to kiss me.
He felt the same? He felt the same! Oh my! He loved me too.
Jack broke away, looking alarmed. "You're crying! Rosa? Have I done something wrong? Did you not want me to do that? I was so sure you felt the same..."
"I do," I said breathlessly. "That's why I'm crying. I'm elated. I never guessed someone as amazing as you could love me. I always thought you were too good for me. I longed for you to love me..." But I wasn't able to finish because Jack was kissing me again. I could feel his delight and simultaneous desire to protect and care for me in every expression of joy and love that was another kiss. I kissed him back, overwhelmed by happiness. My heart released all its inhibitions as it expressed its want to belong to Jack. It truly would only beat properly when around him.
I woke up crying. Tears ran down my cheek relentlessly. It was the middle of the night, but I couldn't return to sleep for fear of my heart being tortured in that way again. Stupid rose-dove thing, I thought as I tried to stop the unrelenting tears. For, however much I loved Jack, I knew it was Ross who was going to own my heart from tomorrow onwards. It was just the way things had to be. No sulking, no tantrums (though I did so want to throw one), I was meant to be with the dark mystery who I'd never found attractive before. I hated myself for seeing things so clearly, but when a decision's been made, a decision's been made. But, oh, I was going to miss Jack. I wondered how much of my heart was going to break tomorrow. The whole thing, I reckoned.

Thanks for helping!
Nice Chinese food but very tired inside could do with spending money on smarting the place up. Good for a quick meal, used by the locals so they do take outs
Located on top floor overlooking Port Zante, this place has some of the best Chinese food I have tasted in a long time. I don't think you can have a bad meal here at all. Suggestions include the chicken fried rice, Szechuan Chicken, Vegetable Spring Rolls and shrimp fried wan tons. Nice family with respectable children who help their parents...
Meal prices are decently priced but be careful about the prices, the prices are in east Caribbean dollars and not US dollars. Beer cost about US $2. The restaurant is situated on the first floor. Free wifi with decent speed.
We happened upon King's Palace on our drive into Basseterre one day. Thereafter, we would usually pick up lunch and/or dinner and take back to our room at Oualie. The fried rice, fried wontons, sweet and sour chicken and pork was delicious! Portions were more than ample and service was always helpful. King's Palace is about 10 minutes away from...
Since I just love chinese food I thought I would try King's Palace-the food was wonderful. Both my dishes were sensational. I highly recommend it.
Found one of the best chinese food places in the Carribean. Love the conch and the sizzling shrimp dishes. Nice view from the outside seating.

This was our second stay of three weeks each at Orchard Ranch in 2 (not consecutive) years. While we like the park, our biggest concern and disappointment was that the WiFi was not available on site. We had to pack up our computer and trek over to the library for our internet service every time we needed to get online! With a park this size and quality, they should have internet access at all the RV sites. Also, the trees are an issue and should be trimmed. We had sap falling on the roof of the RV and truck. There should be a bathroom in the workout room, as well. - Judy Hochmuth

Nice short-term RV spaces with good separation between sites. This is a quiet park (55+) with FHU, cable tv, picnic tables, privacy walls, and shade trees. Friendly staff and clean restrooms. We would stay here again. - Lance 47

We stayed at the Fairgrounds RV Park last year for 3 weeks. This year we are in the process of moving to the area, so are staying for 6 weeks. The campground is well maintained and the staff are very helpful, professional and great to work with. The sites are full service and large enough to park our 5th wheel and 2 vehicles and still have space. We highly recommend staying at the Fairgrounds RV Park. - Doris and Art

The office manager and the park manager were very nice to work with. They accommodated my request to extend my stay, even when it meant shuffling some upcoming reservations. Note the office is only open 9-3 weekdays. We had plenty of space to back in our 36-ft fiver pulled by a Volvo 770 tractor. We were able to park the Volvo in the area against the back fence, which was directly across the lane from our site. - AZPete

Upon arrival I talked to the host to decide which sites were available&which could fit our 33ft 5th wheel. Many of the spots are for smaller rigs. We chose a spot based on her recommendation, set up only to find out it was a double spot so we had to pay double. Site #19. Pull through. Covered pavilion with 2 concrete picnic tables & a metal ring firepit. Only 1 neighbor. Vault toilets, potable water fill, dumpster, trailhead to the lake all right across the street. We decided to back out instead of driving the tight loop around to exit. The campground was very quiet. Close to lots of shopping but feels like you're miles away. - Ontheroamagain

Well maintained campground..pretty setting. Lake is nearby..trail to lake can be difficult to find. 10 steps down to campsite from car. We saw a dead scorpion in the bathroom and when we pointed our flashlights at retaining wall at our site we spotted 8 scorpions. We walked the trail around the lake and our son ended up with a tick on him. - Katbuster1

Good dry camp close enough to the town of Prescott to enjoy all its amenities. Fully paved roads and pads; concrete picnic tables; raked crushed gravel area for tenting or canopy; metal fire ring - although covered when we were there due to fire restrictions; water spigot near each camp area; walked to the restaurant/store at the other end of the lake and it was nothing special - we had desserts which were bland and gave us second thoughts about returning for any other meals. Like all government campgrounds we've been to, plenty of space between sites. Only comment is not the campground's fault - dog droppings all along the interior roadsides. What are people thinking? - pyrthkr

To make a very long story short, there is no way we will ever come back to this park again. We made reservations to stay a few days to get away from the heat down south of Tucson. They call it Point of Rocks. It should be called Piles of Dirt. Dirt and dust everywhere. The pull thru site we had reserved dropped off at the front to where we would not be able to hook up and get leveled together. The old filthy dirty wooden box for the water hookup was, was full of dirt and weeds and various capped of wires. The sewer hookup was uphill from out coach but I guess sewage somehow flows uphill in this park? After getting the office guy to come look at the space we had reserved he gave us a map with four other spaces to go look at. We did and got stuck trying to negotiate a rather tight tree lined curve to one space and finally gave up, forfeited one night and did get refund for the second night. I must be a different kind of RVer as my review certainly does not coincide with the ones we read that we based our stay upon. And the pics of RV's nestled in between huge rocks and boulders, etc., well we certainly never saw those in our dirt drive thru the entire park. When arrived our coach was clean from being washed down in Tucson except for the bug splatters on the windshield. When we left it was filthy and I swear we left a dust trail as we drove off down the road. It is for absolutely positively certain that we won't ever be coming back to "Piles of Dirt" again. The pics on the website are deceiving but if dirt and more dirt is your thing then this is definitely the place for you............... - BankShot

Great campground just off the main highway. The park is dirt, and the campsites are quirky. But the owners are very nice and well organized. (They even have preprinted maps to follow for each campsite.) We were in the upper area and the electric (123v.) pedestals are all new. Wifi is average, I think the owner has done the best he can, considering the trees showed 8.4 mps down but hung up a lot during peak times. I had good sat. access on my site. (92) Good Verizon signal. Had trouble getting my T-Mobile on 4g. There are hiking trails from the campground, and a trail to Lake Watson. Also for those with dogs, do not miss the dog park not far from the campground. Best we have ever seen. The sites in this camp are all a bit different in configuration. Some sites are close, some very private. I did not have any trouble with my 36' Class A with toad navigating the roads but agree that they should be one way. Ask owner where it is best to unhook the toad. Some site can be a more challenging fit. Talk to the owner about your needs. We had site 92. great pull through. Site seem more level than I thought. But it would be nice if they dressed the sites with crushed rock. During rains I think the camp would be somewhat messy due to the dirt. We could hear the highway at this site but not a bother. Water pressure good. Sewer-may need an additional extension, a bit different on each site. There are many waste bins though the park and doggie bag posts. All in all I think it is a great find and would defiantly return. - wtravlr1

Great park, a little pricey for what I normally stay at, but there is nothing comparable in the area. The location is excellent if you like to bike or hike. The customer service was friendly and professional. I had a little trouble getting into the site they selected for me, even though I told them in advance I had slides on two sides. However, two very nice men helped me get in there, one of them trimming trees as we went. Once I got in there, it was a great spot, very private and close to the office and laundry. It's not as quiet a park as I like, due to the location near the highway, but it wasn't horrible, and quieted down considerably at night. I would definitely stay here again, mostly for the hiking and biking opportunities. - KAP99

This is the first/last time we'll stay here. The HUGE and numerous speed bumps caused the bottom of our car/toad to scrape on them, causing damage. The 5 MPH speed limit in the park apparently doesn't apply to the management/employees as they zip around the park in their carts at 15-20 MPH. Although "big rig friendly", the site we were assigned had trees so close that we could barely extend the slides, and couldn't open the awnings. When the wind blew, it caused the tree branches to scrape the side of the coach. One of our "neighbors" had 5 dogs with them, another had three. They tied them to the BBQ base next to our coach, and their lovely little pets left "deposits" near our coach. Lots of sites contained VERY long term campers, some with RV license tags that had expired many years ago. This left a negative impression, as some of those sites looked pretty run down. On a plus side, the showers provided were clean. We had water heater problems, and my wife used the showers at the park. The location is convenient to northern Prescott, and also allows relatively quick access to the Gateway Mall in central Prescott. We won't be staying here in the future. - pagosajoe

Very nice retirement / full time RV park. Great location, very nice full timers living here. Our space (#3) was plenty long but narrow with no room for our awning. Now for the reason for my 6. The owners are a little uptight and did not make us feel welcome. We reserved bookend weekends and they somehow lost our reservation for the following weekend. It seems they just tolerate the weekend folks here. We stayed instead at another campground the next weekend, and loved that place. - TnB

This is a tough park to review. There isn't really anything necessarily bad about it. However, you have to realize that this is a mobile home park that has reserved a few spaces for RV's. All the mobile homes are clean and very well kept. The residents were all very friendly along with the staff. We stayed in spot 149 and the lady next door was incredibly friendly and glad to have new neighbors for a few days. The reason we didn't love it is because when we are in our RV, we like to be surrounded by people traveling and vacationing like we are as opposed to just being in a mobile home park. The proximity to Whiskey Row is tough to beat. The park is incredibly clean and everyone was friendly. It just isn't our type of place to stay. - longweekends

Clean older park with mostly permanent, well kept dwellings. Our site, for our 34 footer and Jeep was fairly small but adequate. The bathroom facilities are unusual for a motorhome park: one toilet and one sink. Period. Amazingly, we never had to wait for anyone however. Payment here is cash only. As an earlier reviewer mentioned, this park's main advantage is its close proximity to the town square, 15 min walk or $4.75 taxi each way if you want to experience "Whisky Row" which is highly recommended. - robbo67

This is a great place close in to Prescott. Located in the Prescott National Forest. 10 minutes to the heart of the town yet the campground feels remote inside the forest area. Good place to be situated to explore the surrounding area. Even a day trip to Jerome was doable. The sites are spread out well and paved nicely and ours in 24, was level and private. This is dry camping. The water is off in the winter season. We are having low 70 temps. Pretty awesome for winter. There are several loops but not all open in winter. The website stated only 12 are open but there are many more open. Not crowded at all right now. The price does go up in the summer season when the water is on. Not much though. It is quiet now. I am sure it is busy in the summer. First come first serve. The road to access the park is quiet at night. Virtually no noise since it's a winding, curvey road to Wickenburg. No one bothered our things we left out. One camper even left out an unlocked generator with no issues. We stayed the 14 day limit. There are a few other NFS campgrounds like Lynx Lake but they are closed now. White Spar opened year round. There are nice picnic tables and a fire pit at each site. Pit toilets. Garbage service. The location is ideal for exploring the area. The host on duty while we were here, was pretty much invisible. - blackstoneburro

An older review mentioned theft concerns. We saw several campers leaving their stuff unattended, with no issues. Sites are generally level side to side, but often have minor to moderate slope from front to back. It's a very nice setting, with good hiking trails. Close to town, convenient. Our rate was the winter rate, when the water spigots are turned off. - snowman9000

Staying here - it is MONTHLY only. Prefers 2-3 month minimum. No extra amenities, but OK park. Very close to town and stores. Rent is $294 for the month - includes taxes.
Water is city water so tastes good and adequate pressure.
Electric is a direct bill to the Electric Company - hence the 2-3 month minimum stay. Amperage is excellent and consistent, even with AC in summer.
Sewer outlet adequate. - Downsizer

Ok, this is one strange place. We made a reservation 2 days ahead, we were told the husband would be in the office all day, but when we arrived after a long day's drive, the office was closed (early afternoon). We wandered around, and a Rottweiler ran out snarling and growling at the end of his leash. 2 humans followed, and we said we'd made a reservation, and they said they were asst. mgrs., and they'd check us in, but they hadn't been told anyone was arriving. So, we got a spot for overnite, which was fine. Several campers had spent several weeks here, and they were friendly and informative. Nobody ever showed up in the office. There is a nice mini-golf course here, and two picnic/horseshoes/dog walking grassy spots at each end. Near the mini-golf was the snarling Rottie again, which was really scary, since we have a gentle dog on a leash. It really bothered me, because leashes can't be guaranteed. The campground itself was ok, but the lack of keeping track of reservations, and the dangerous dog made me feel like I wouldn't want to camp here again. Nice views, fairly good spots, other amenities, but IMO dangerous, threatening dogs should not be allowed in campgrounds, even when they belong to helpful asst. managers. And reservations should always be followed--that too is dangerous if you drive to the limit of your abilities, and then don't have a place to camp. - LeeL

As a full time RVer, stayed at this park for the month of October, hated to leave, but need to visit family in other areas of country. Managers were extremely helpful and friendly, very clean facilities, quiet and peaceful, well maintained, will return for another long visit next year. - Bob and Lucy

Don't Know What To Do?

- When Abused; How is OxyContin Obtained?
- OxyContin Deaths?
- OxyContin Abuse: Who Pays the Price?
- Those in Pain
The Abuse of OxyContin
Abuse of OxyContin has become wide spread; the DEA has gotten into the act; and Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin, has gone to great lengths to address the problems. More importantly, information available now is more accurate, with less hype. Early figures attributed to abuse of OxyContin have now been shown to include deaths in which alcohol and other drugs were as big a factor as OxyContin.
OxyContin: What is it?OxyContin (oxycodone hydrochloride controlled-release) is an opioid analgesic in time-release form. It is intended to be used in cases of severe to moderate pain where an opioid as appropriate - when other drugs do not relieve the pain. Oxycodone is also an ingredient in other drugs such as Percocet, Tylox, Percocet, etc.
Prescription Abuse: How is OxyContin Abused?OxyContin tablets are manufactured with a time-release mechanism meant to release oxycodone over a 12-hour period. If the tablets are crushed, the mechanism is broken and the entire dose is readily released. Abusers tend to use OxyContin in one of three ways:
- chewing the tablets
- crushing, then snorting the powder
- crushing, then dissolving the powder in water for intravenous injection
When Abused; How is OxyContin Obtained?The methods by which abusers and those selling it to them obtain OxyContin are myriad. They include:
- visiting doctors and lying about symptoms to get prescriptions
- forging prescriptions
- robbing pharmacies
- improper prescribing practices by unscrupulous physicians
- health care professionals who "divert" medication for their own use or for sale
OxyContin Deaths?While earlier reports contained some pretty startling numbers, they tended not to include very important facts:
- In many, if not most cases, death was a result of polypharmacy - a mixture of drugs. In some cases, the victims had been drinking and using at least one other drug in addition to oxycodone.
- In many cases, there was no way to know that the oxycodone found in the bodies had come from OxyContin rather than another drug containing oxycodone. There are 59 prescription drugs in the United States that contain oxycodone.
OxyContin Abuse: Who Pays the Price?Obviously, there's a high price in dollars when OxyContin is bought on the streets. Though the numbers have been overstated in some news reports, some abusers paid with their lives. There's another price that's being paid though - the inability or increased difficulty legitimate patients face in getting OxyContin to treat chronic pain.
The Monetary Cost of OxyContin on the Streets:
- Strength ~ Retain Price ~ Street Price
- 10mg ~ $1.25 ~ $5 to $10
- 20mg ~ $2.30 ~ $10 to $20
- 40mg ~ $4.00 ~ $25 to $40
- 80mg ~ $6.00 ~ $65 to $80
Those in PainMany people feel this is the highest price of OxyContin abuse. Some doctors are hesitant to prescribe OxyContin. Some pharmacies no longer stock it for fear of being robbed. Some pharmacies will special order it; others won't dispense it at all. People who suffer from chronic pain that requires medications such as OxyContin have enough health-related concerns without having to concern themselves with whether they'll be able to get the drugs they need. There's also the concern for their personal safety. On May 8, WCHS-TV in Charleston, West Virginia, reported a robbery at a pharmacy in Huntington, West Virginia. As part of their report, they advised people taking OxyContin not to tell anyone who didn't need to know because of possible home robberies or purse snatchings and muggings for the drug. In addition, the publicity surrounding the abuse of OxyContin has created a sort of stigma in the minds of many people. Patients using the drug are hesitant to admit using it for fear of being viewed as an addict or abuser of pain medications.
Many chronic pain patients have called OxyContin their "miracle," credit it for their being able to function at any reasonable level. Of note in any discussion on this topic is the problem that chronic pain is one of the leading causes of assisted and non assisted suicide.

Comerci's $3.2bn Workout
After losing more than $2.0 billion to bad bets in currency
derivatives, the company was struggling to refinance more than
$3.2 billion in debt and derivatives claims. It was not until
June of 2010 that Comerci, as the company is known, moved to
pursue a debt restructuring under a concurso mercantil, using
Mexico's relatively untested insolvency law.
In doing so, CCM became the first listed company in Mexican
history to file a pre-packaged restructuring, where the debtor
and creditors strike an agreement before going to court.
As envisioned,...

California orders churches to provide abortion coverage.
//Several other California churches have received similar notices from their insurers, and others will follow. While California (like the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS) exempts churches from its contraceptive mandate, there is no exception to this bureaucratic abortion mandate. This leaves California churches in the illogical and impossible position of being free to exclude contraceptives from their health plan for reasons of religious conscience but required to provide their employees with abortion coverage.
This California mandate is in blatant violation of federal law that specifically prohibits California from discriminating against health care plans on the basis that they do not cover abortion. Alliance Defending Freedom and Life Legal Defense Foundation have filed administrative complaints with the HHS Office of Civil Rights (which oversees this federal law) on behalf of individual employees and seven California churches forced into abortion coverage in violation of their conscience.
What will be the administration and the Left's response to this unprecedented attack on religious liberty? If they couldn't stand with Hobby Lobby because it was a for-profit business, not a church, and because they thought its conscience concern was misplaced on the abortifacient nature of Plan B, will they now demand religious liberty for churches forced to cover elective abortion? If not now for religious liberty, when?
Do the administration and the left-wing commentariat continue to see any life in the First Amendment's religious liberty protections at all? The Left's response to California's abortion mandate will reveal whether their claims of respect for religious liberty in the Hobby Lobby case were serious or mere fig leafs for an even more dismal view of religious liberty than they have let on.//

A Tale of Two Internets
When George Bush talked about "rumors on the internets" at the debate tonight, alarm bells went off for me.
You see, deep down I knew it. There's another internet out there. And things are much cooler there. On the cooler internet, Choire Sicha sniffs coke off of Hillary Duff's backside, and there's no Craigslist for Chrissakes, and Wonkette in the cooler internet has Ana on a live cam drinking absinthe while Carling Dinkler rolls around in a ball gag and tutu, performing for her pleasure. And actually, probably none of that is happening, because none of that is probably cool because lame me is talking about it from my lame point of reference on this lame internet that I was convinced was the cool internet until Bush spilled the beans tonight.
As a friend of mine said tonight: "When you think about it, if you're on the same internet as John Athayde, you can't possibly be on the cool internet." To which I replied: "Who the fuck is John Athayde?" Exactly.
