Explore the crossroads of the Mediterranean, where history meets beautiful scenery
With a lovely year-round climate, warm Mediterranean waters and a fascinating culture, Malta is a great place for active families to explore. Travel back in time and stroll through the historic streets of Valletta. Cycle past domed churches and freewheel across Gozo's undulating coastline. Head out to sea and don a mask and snorkel to view the underwater world around Comino. While the islands each have their own unique charm, this easygoing adventure combines all three to deliver a memorable holiday that will entertain young and big kids alike.

Why we love this trip
Hop in a jeep to explore the hilltop villages and interior of the island of Gozo, watching locals go about their centuries-old daily routine
Cycle along the dramatic coastline of Gozo, exploring trails that rarely see any other vehicle, let alone travellers
Hit the high seas and discover hidden coves of tiny Comino, snorkelling in crystal-clear waters
Live life as a local Gozitan shepherd for a day – tend to the animals, cut corn, and even make local food the traditional way
Travel back in time while wandering the stunning streets of historic Valletta on an open-air museum walking tour
Is this trip right for you?
There is some free time in Malta to explore some of the activities like waterparks and theme parks in Malta that aren't included on this trip.
This trip includes a ferry between the islands of Malta and Gozo. Conditions can be rough, so be prepared.
You can arrive at any time today as there are no activities planned until a group meeting this evening at 5.30pm. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, maybe arrive a day early so you're able to attend. If you're going to be late, please inform the hotel reception. We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting, so please ensure you have all these details to provide to your leader.
A 5-10 minute stroll from the hotel down to the promenade brings you good views of Valletta, and if you continue along the waterfront you'll come across promenading families out for their daily passeggiata (evening stroll) among joggers and those out walking their dog.
- Plevna hotel (1 night)
Meals IncludedThere are no meals included on this day.
Take a walking tour around this compact, Baroque-character city (it covers only 0.5 square miles), and you'll soon come across intriguing historical sites around every corner: votive statues, niches, gorgeous wooden balconies, fountains and coats of arms high up on parapets. Barrakka Gardens offers a fantastic bird's eye view of the Grand Harbour of Malta, while narrow side streets are full of tiny quaint shops and cafés. Wander down the streets and travel between something like the vintage seventies, then be transported back to the present day by Valletta's main streets, lined with larger international branded shops for fashion, music, jewellery and much more.
Tonight, perhaps enjoy a dinner at the Valletta waterfront, or in one of the fancy restaurants found inside 17th century palaces.

For a more laidback experience, where there are family slides and pools, a wave pool, and the lazy river. Plus, there's soapy football and a diving pool. Splash and Fun definitely lives up to its name! Another fun place is Sweethaven village, a colourful place also known as Popeye Village and used as the set of the 1980 film. It's full of rides and games, and a good option for younger kids.
For something more cultural and historical, maybe visit the end of the island fishing village of Marsaxlokk for a real slice of Maltese life, or head west to medieval Mdina, a beautiful hilltop walled town of atmospheric architectural streets. Otherwise, just relax or go horse riding along the long sandy beaches of Golden Bay.
- Plevna hotel (1 night)
Meals Included
- Breakfast
Populated with tiny villages and pretty hills this is a delightful place to begin your Mediterranean adventure. Xlendi, your base in Gozo was once a quiet fishing village. Your hotel is only meters from the beautiful bay where you can swim or snorkel. Jump on a bike this afternoon to explore the quiet paths and trails of this lovely island. Pass through friendly villages, past old churches and ancient stone temples, cycle up to panoramic peaks and along trails seldom visited by any other sort of vehicle, let alone travellers, as well as descending into valleys filled with fruit trees.
With any free time today you can enjoy the delightful harbour around Xlendi, maybe heading up its famous tower for a great overview of the town.
- San Andrea Hotel (1 night)
Included Activities
- Xlendi - Cycle Tour
Meals Included
- Breakfast
You'll get a hands experience of a life on a farm – feeding hens, rabbits, goats and other animals, collecting freshly laid eggs, and even milking sheep and goats. You'll also get involved in making the local Gozitan cheese, 'gbejniet', which is eaten fresh, sundried, salted or peppered. All this action is sure to make you hungry, so afterwards you'll get stuck into an authentic traditional lunch with your host, featuring Gozitan cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes and crusty oven baked bread – delicious!
The rest of the day is free to wander to scenic viewpoints or perfect that beach pose.
- San Andrea Hotel (1 night)
Included Activities
- Xlendi - Ager Foundation Visit
Meals Included
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Your boat trip takes you around the island to drop anchor in one of the secluded bays that mark the coastline against the clear blue water. From the boat, you and the kids can have a go at snorkelling in the Mediterranean and marvel at the fish and other marine life around the island. If snorkelling not's your thing, why not just take a swim in the sea and let the sun's rays wash over you, unwinding in this peaceful haven that's almost from a dream. In the afternoon, after a short boat trip around the island, its hidden caves and tall cliffs, return to your Gozo home for the last couple of nights.
- San Andrea Hotel (1 night)
Included Activities
- Comino - Boat tour
Meals Included
- Breakfast
The safari takes in hidden villages, secret beaches and ancient temples, as well as a drive out to Dwejra Bay. Here you'll be able to see the Azure Window, a spectacular arch formed out of the rock by thousands of years of wind and waves and the Inland Sea, a landlocked seawater lake, sheltered from the sea by an archway entrance. If the weather is right, you might even be able to take an optional boat trip from the Inland Sea to the Azure Window.
Tonight, why not gather together the rest of your group and head out for a final celebratory dinner as this magnificent Malta family adventure comes to an end.

I think it is just as useful for other realms so I would go ahead with adding getRoles() to RealmBase in some form. Maybe add getDefaultRole() to RealmBase and then call that from the other Realms?

Epic Fail - v
The monster charged after them.
It moved faster than its size should have allowed it too, sliding across the floor, which turned to a smooth icy coat as it approached. It was bearing down upon them, and they were approaching a wall.
"Nice knowing you, man."
The monster stopped. So did Inbeef and Gnaruag. The very floor beneath them shook and vibrated. Explosions, it seemed, the size and magnitude of which were unheard of, were happening right beneath their feet. The floor itself developed cracks and started to crumble. The monster, faced with a problem it couldn't look down at, fled. Pandemonium and chaos ensued. A stick-thin man rushed past them yelling, "The tunnels! The tunnels! They've explosified the tunnels. Somebody disarm them."
Another explosion rocked the room, and Inbeef was thrown to the floor. He rolled over and into a large cauldron, which tipped over, its contents coating him instantly. His hands closed around something rolled up, as a sickly-sweet smell filled his senses and Inbeef became drowsy and sluggish. He wanted to get up but he couldn't. His limbs failed him. His eyes closed involuntarily. Darkness descended around him.
When Inbeef awoke, he was being tended to in the infirmary. The others were all huddled around him, including some faces he hadn't expected to see.
"Shogun? Vingav? Ancient Na'sa? What are you doing here? What happened?"
"Easy, Inbeef" EnPsyClops said, "We beat them. You got a do-over basically."
"I'm not sure I understand?"
"It was all Shogun's idea, of course. Namgan was trying to burrow through the tunnels to reach the Chamber of Mumeroo, when Shogun, Vingav and Ancient Na'sa arrived at my call. Shogun suggested that we burrow till we were under the Chamber of Mumeroo, and then let loose with minor incendiaries. The Chamber of Mumeroo would do the rest, amplifying the sounds and causing the illusions that the room was tearing apart. Enough to create a diversion as we waltzed in there and herded them out. He really is the Trickster."
Shogun took a bow.
"Well, we were just going to use some explosives. The effect got on all too well after Vingav let loose with his act."
Vingav smiled, as he swung his massive hammer into view, and said, "Meet Delegatus!"
EnPsyClops continued, "When Vingav uses Delegatus!, a primal scream emerges from the hammer, creating solid shockwaves and disorienting anyone unfortunate enough to hear it. It's so powerful that it knocks them off their feet, quite literally 'de-leg-ating' them. Ancient Na'sa helped too. She used her ancient wisdom and profound theatrical skills to figure out the ideal points at which to strike and convey the desired effect. Needless to say, after that, Namgan and those of the Politscia still faithful to her like Romikoff, rushed in and finished the show."
Inbeef turned to look at Namgan, but she seemed to be in tears. So he decided to speak to her later.
"And my brother?"
"Safe and sound, along with all the other magelings. And Ruby kept the defenses up in such a way, that only the attackers were herded in."
"But…Arkol, he was…they were trying to get the magelings to work out the Auric Petra document."
EnPsyClops shrugged and said, "Eh. Maybe two people in that entire room read the whole thing. Most of it was in fragments anyway. But I don't think we'll recover it either. I'm not worried."
"So that's it, then?"
"Yes, Inbeef. That's it. The Princess Ankh-Rose was arrested, along with several of the Politscia. Most of them lured in by the possibility of gold. Ankh-Rose seemed to have some different motivations though. I will be interrogating her thoroughly to see what I can learn."
"And Arkol?"
"Sad to say, he managed to escape somehow. Not sure how he managed that. We'll get him soon."
"Good luck with that. You know what, I've had enough excitement."
"Yeah, you need rest. We'll see you around."
"I think I'll take a nice long vacation. I don't think I'll need to do anything quite as taxing as this again."
"Sure, you won't." EnPsyClops replied, with a twinkle in his eye, as he turned around and filed out of the room, followed by the others.
Inbeef decided he'd go to a village in the mountains the very next day.

Subsoil Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity in Relation to Soil Properties in the North Carolina Coastal Plain
- R. J. Southard and
- S. W. Buol
Laboratory measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of soil cores from nine North Carolina Coastal Plain Ultisols demonstrate that Ksat generally decreases with increasing depth, while grade of blocky structure generally becomes stronger with depth. The best single predictor (second-order polynominal, r2 = 0.81, p < 0.001) of Ksat is the proportion of pores with diameters >30 µm (LP) as calculated from water retention characteristics, followed by the coefficient of linear extensibility measured on soil pastes (COLE paste, r2 = 0.50). Total porosity is correlated negatively with Ksat (r2 = 0.16, p > 0.10). Multiple regression of Ksat on LP and COLE paste decreased correlation slightly (R2 = 0.77, p <0.001). Weighted mean ped diameter (WMPD), which is an indication of structure size and grade, is not significantly (p < 0.10) correlated with Ksat. Inter-ped planes of weakness are not well developed in these weakly structured soils and do not contribute much to saturated flow. Stratification of pedons by drainage class and clay content had minor effects on regression correlation. Large pores are the dominant conduits for saturated water movement in these soils as measured by the method used in this study. The proportion of large pores, probably mostly of biological origin, decreases with increasing soil depth as biological activity is attenuated. The COLE paste measurement provides an index of the potential for swelling of clay minerals and resultant constriction of water-conducting channels when soils are saturated.

Antelope Audio
Atomic clock generators are the most accurate time and frequency standards known to man, used for international time distribution services, controlling television broadcast wave frequencies, global navigation satellite systems such as GPS, and more. Music recording and playback benefits from accurate timing, too, of course, and Antelope Audio pioneered the adoption of atomic clock generators in audio master clocks. As such, it is dedicated to achieving high-definition sound in recording studio and home environments, being held in high esteem by both pro audio users and audiophiles alike.
Antelope Audio is the brainchild of Igor Levin, best known for creating Aardvark's groundbreaking AardSync Master Sync Generator, which went on to become a big hit in major recording studios Stateside. By being one of the first to apply the so-called DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) method of producing the frequencies in a digital way to the problem of producing an accurate audio master clock, Levin semi-seriously said he became known as 'Mr Clocks' while Aardvark became a hit clocking company.
Premier product lines from Antelope Audio include the Orion32 — the world's first 32-channel AD/DA convertor and audio master clock, supporting both MADI and USB interfaces with 192kHz I/O streaming, clocked by Antelope's renowned 64-bit AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) — and Isochrone master clocks, including the OCX, which can even be locked to the Atomic Clock — the most accurate clock on Earth — via a dedicated input. Now that's what we call accurate!
Put simply, Antelope Audio's acclaimed products allow users to harness the power of digital audio without sacrificing the warmth and fullness typically associated with analogue.

Ubu on the Table
Jarry's anarchic classic given the puppet treatment
This article is from 2016.
Having performed Ubu on the Table in French and Spanish over 800 times around the world, theatre company La Pire Espèce made an English adaptation their next challenge. The play is a twist on Alfred Jarry's Ubu roi, an outrageous parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth.
The play charts Pere Ubu's murder of the King of Poland, and the subsequent warfare and political chaos. The play arguably gave birth to modernism, and its zany aesthetic acted as a precursor to surrealist theatre. La Pire Espèce reimagine Ubu by performing the show with puppets around a small table – and kitchen utensils are the leading actors.
Confused? Ubu on the Table is a deft and high-octane puppet show. The props, or cast, are well chosen: an upturned teapot is particularly effective as the murdered King. It's full of Fringe frivolity, descending into the spectacle of two men flinging lumps of baguette around, conveying warfare with childlike zeal.
Unfortunately, the work put in by the two puppeteers often feels unequal to the laughs returned. It's an energetic show, with clever puppeteering, but the tray of foodie ammunition stage left is a foreshadowing too far and the food fight finale becomes overlong.
Summerhall, until 28 Aug (not 15, 23), 2.35pm, £12 (£10).

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

- I started out with a 4x4x8. Then I cut the blocks ( and when I say I, I mean the guys at home depot lol) down to 3.5 in. The base I had cut to 7 inches.
- After I gave each block a couple coats of paint,I printed out the vinyl with my Silhouette. You could really do any variation of colors. I chose a more neutral color to match their houses.
- Then I distressed the edges with a little distress ink. Gosh I love this stuff!
- Next I cut my pictures down to 3x3 and mod podged them on.
- Once they were dry I tied a little bow around them, and sent them off to grandma's!

text: Thirty-one-year-old Jeffrey LaGasse pleaded guilty last month to killing his former boss, 50-year-old Louise Brochu.Her body was found, badly beaten, at her home and business in New Portland three years ago, after what prosecutors describe as a robbery gone bad.Today, dozens of Brochu's family members and friends packed a courtroom in Skowhegan, as LaGasse was sentenced to thirty years in prison."It was an agreed-upon disposition, an agreed-upon plea, with a joint recommendation from both the defense and the state of thirty years for the crime of murder," says William Stokes, deputy attorney general.Before LaGasse's sentence was handed down, family members of Louise Brochu had the chance to speak about their loss. They wore red bandanas, like Louise did, but said without her, colors don't shine as brightly anymore.They described a woman who liked the windows down and music up, who once embarked on a bike ride to Alaska from her home in Jackman, and who was a strong, brilliant entrepreneur."I believe in my heart she practiced what she preached. Unfortunately, because of one person's selfishness, she was taken far too soon. She was so full of life and had so much more to give.""Hate breeds hate, but it stops here, with him going to jail for what he's done."LaGasse was also offered the chance to speak, but declined."You do not wish to say anything at this time?""No, your honor."Deputy Attorney General William Stokes says the sentence is a good compromise, which avoids a trial, and is one the Brochu family supports."They were pleased we were able to reach this disposition. It's not enough, for the conduct and for the beating that she sustained. But it is a significant sentence and I think it resolves it. It resolves it in a way that allows the family to move on," Stokes says.The judge told the family he hopes the sentence helps them find closure. Brochu's only daughter, Emily, says at least, justice in the court system has been served."And that's it. We're done. He's in jail," Emily says. "It's a good day. We get to smile and know that something has been done."

Can you elaborate more on the use case of your class? i was just playing around thinking about caching issues and decided to go ahead and try using a LoggingEntityResolver to see if we can actually track "extra" resources used by sitemap components (trax transformer, for instance) using that method. i'm currently using it as follows in the ResourcePipeline: while ( transformerItt.hasNext() ) { Transformer trans = (Transformer)transformerItt.next(); LoggingEntityResolver resolver = new LoggingEntityResolver((EntityResolver)environment); resolver.setLogger(log); trans.setup( resolver, environment.getObjectModel(), (String)transformerSourceItt.next(), (Parameters)transformerParamItt.next() ); } and it works like a charm. the idea being that the ResourcePipeline can check not only the freshness of the original InputSource (if any) for a sitemap component, but the other resources upon which it depends. nothing fancy, but it does solve a long-standing problem. - donald --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, email: firstname.lastname@example.com

A day in Menton
... on the sea. We stayed here for 2 weeks several years ago and it is a favourite town for us. After going to the market, we bought a baguette for lunch and then headed to St Michel church and then the cemetery in the Citadel, both of which are in the old town and have wonderful views over the city. The church was built in the 1700's. We left John to explore and photograph, and we went ...
Money in Monaco
... all. After snapping a few (hundred) pictures we made our way to a shopping centre. Chandeliers and marble everywhere!! We went into a few stores but I felt extremely under dressed in my jeans and birks. We went into a store called Forever Monte-Carlo and I found a really cute dress for Cate, however it was 1350 euros.......sorry Cate, I love you but I wasnt prepared to pay that much.
I always felt safe ...
Antibes & Nice, France and Monaco
... t add up. Anyway, this turn of events was welcomed after our Ryanair debacle and late night hotel room scramble. The next morning we got up for an early morning hike to Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. This little hike is known for its views of the Monaco and Nice coastlines, as well as large villas along the way. We saw tons of people running along the trail which would help explain why French people are so skinny! For dinner, we went for a true French experience ...

Finally, we reach the camp site. It's 12.30pm and, of course, the office is shut until 3.30pm. It is ...

|Gepubliceerd op
1.1 This guide covers a selection of methodologies for the determination of bacterial endotoxin on gloves when such a determination is appropriate.
1.2 As bacteria may continue to grow on non-sterile gloves, reportable endotoxin levels are only appropriate for gloves labeled as sterile. Because most environments contain endotoxin, once a box of gloves is opened and the gloves are manipulated, endotoxin levels will increase making it inappropriate to report endotoxin levels on boxed gloves (ex. examination gloves). This is true even if the box had undergone sterilization prior to distribution.
1.3 This guide may also be appropriate for internal quality control or alert purposes at different stages of manufacturing or during process change evaluations.
1.4 This guide is not applicable to the determination of pyrogens other than bacterial endotoxins.
1.5 The sample preparation method described must be used regardless of the test method selected. This method does not describe laboratory test method validation, analyst qualification, or reagent confirmation. Product-specific validation is addressed.
1.6 The safe and proper use of medical gloves is beyond the scope of this guide.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.

Camped in a 35 foot fifth wheel in unnumbered back-in site. "Campground" is a large paved parking lot with an island of a few full utility hook-ups at rear of sites. Sites are level with lots of room for tow vehicle. About 18 good over the air TV stations; no WiFi. Parking lot is lit with high utility pole lights until very early morning. Quiet at night. There is a community center at edge of lot that was open until late evening & which has restrooms.. No laundry. Easy I 79 access. - Scottsdale RVers

My son graduated from WVU last weekend. As usual local hotels take advantage of any special events at the University. The event sites were very close and it was great having our camper to entertain friends and family.The camping area is a giant parking lot. All of the utilities worked well and the staff was pleasant. If you need to be in Morgantown this is a convienent place to stay. - Shady Spring

Pretty easy to get to. Do not turn at the first sign for Mylan Park, go to the second one. We stayed only one night so were told to park along the island which was essentially a pull-thru site. Water, 50 amp and sewer were fine. Sure it is a parking lot but equate it to a nice level paved pad, with no side-by-side sites (i.e. neighbors), in a campground and you realize it is kind of nice. It was very quiet at night. - cwier

Park is in wooded area and secluded with many trees. Not too much to do. Park was clean and the owners were nice people. Very quite.
Price should be around $35.00. - johnmack
Oct 2015 - $32.00
The park is truly beautiful but I can only give 3 stars because of the other issues. The campers were all down by the office except for one. The bathrooms down by the campers were all locked up. The only bathroom/showers were up on the top of the hill by the million dollar RV. The manager at first said they should be unlocked. He was told they were not unlocked. Then he changed his story saying the owner told him to lock them up. Then he told us he didn't have the keys. I have a disabled husband whom could not walk to the top of the mountain to take a shower or use the bathroom. We would have stayed two nights had the bathrooms been opened. However the Internet sucked. We keep being told the Internet is good only to find out we can't even get online. Oh and watch your step, it looked like human feces around the campground. I guess others couldn't make it to the top of the hill. We just used our motorhome. We camped here at the end of October. - Emtnest

This park is full of trees. Shady spaces, fairly level. We did observe 5th wheels having issues backing into back in spaces. They could probably improve those space by removing certain trees! We were after season, so a quiet park for us. It does fill up on football weekends. We would camp here again! - Proud Mary

This is a good place for an overnight when passing through. I called and told them we would be arriving late and the camp host cheerfully stayed up (till 9PM) when we arrived. The campground was clean, the grass was mowed and there were good gravel roads in the campground. and they gave us a pull through site as we were just passing through. Dump station on the way out. Water and 30 amp service at the site. Nice RV/camping signs were posted from the interstate that led you to the site. Maybe 2 miles from the exit. There is a small truck stop at that interstate exit also.
This is not a resort, but a nice place to stop for the night when passing through. - eb145
Jul 2012 - $30.00
We would camp here again. Wi-Fi not advertised and not available. GPS directs to one exit north of exit to use: Davistown Rd exit. The campground can be seen from Interstate. This is a good overnight campground. It is near 24 hour gas & food and easy on/off interstate. When told we were overnight and in route, we got a pull through with WE30S that did not need leveling. Connections are tight. Maybe 10 campers are long term work campers with friendly and helpful people. Staff is great. Bathhouse and laundry are aged but spotless. In 27 days of camping, this was, by far, the best shower. No restrictors, timers, temp governors. Just powerful water hot enough to peel shrimp or cold enough to chill them - as you like it. There is, literally, room for two in the showers with a shower head on either end. This campground is a campground, not trying to be a resort or squeeze another nickel with another fee. Since camp was built the highway expanded adding noise from the highway, which is in sight. From 10: - nothing. They do not claim a thing they do not do well. The park welcomes families but does not have a pool or playground so I did not mark it family friendly, though it is. - Frank Rader

We were driving and started getting tired. We happened to see a camping sign along the interstate and pulled off. I quickly jumped on the internet to see if there were reviews. When we arrived it was small and like the only review I could find. I didn't have to use the facilities because I had my own. The people were friendly and it was great for the night! I would stay there again in passing. - ATerry

This is a very small campground that has been overrun recently by construction workers and their families. That leaves very few spaces for the traveling public. There are 2 "big rig" sites - but beware, the access road is very narrow with a big turn at the bottom. The sites are all very close together. The owners are very nice and try to do what they can to help - but space is very limited. - Cmactraveler
Aug 2005 - $16.00
This little campground is West Virginia capitalism at work. Since I am from West Virginia, I am not picking on us "hillbilles." A family has converted some bottom land into a small campground. It has a small rest room and shower facilities. The spaces are all gravel and 30 Amp. Half have sewer connections, but they also have a dump station. This campground is not fancy and getting to it can be a little intimidating to those who do not like "country roads." All that being said, this is an adequate stop off since it is right off I-79. The choices along this stretch of the Interstate are Wal-Mart or here. At least here you have connections. So you have been warned, but this may be the only port in the storm. It is clean and safe. - cheldreth

Well kept and clean park. The sites are a little tight to back in to so those with large rigs may have some issues. It is surrounded by state parks with lots of hiking trails. The parks are all large, hard wood trees and is a joy to walk. I saw biking paths in town as well. There are lots of things to do in the the area and plenty of restaurants for dining if you choose to go out. Roads in the park were a little tight but certainly navigable with my truck and 31 foot trailer. - PhredFromIL
Sep 2016 - $28.00
The campground is very pretty, with a quiet, immersed-in-nature feel to it. It is only a few miles off Interstate 68, making it a good stopover spot while traveling. The clerk who took our reservation gave us good directions, and the turns are well marked with signs.
There seems to be one section for RVs, and it's a bit of a hike from that loop (Area D) to the office/store, dump station, or the new shower house, which we were told was very nice, but which we did not use, partly due to its distance from our site. Of course our RV has a shower, and the 30-amp hookup and water at the site made a bathhouse unnecessary for us anyway.
The service staff was very friendly and helpful. They did accidentally give our prepaid site and paperwork to someone else with a similar name. That person obviously didn't read his/her paperwork, because it had our name, address, and phone number on it (luckily, not the full credit card number!). The office clerk apologized for the error and immediately sent someone to go retrieve the paperwork and bring it to us, which he did. Mistakes happen, and I think they did what they could to correct it, so no points off for that.
The reason I rated this an 8 out of 10 is because the RV loop is pretty tight, with a narrow road, and the gravel sites are not very level -- they sloped a bit side to side, and we had to use every block we had and max leg extension to get it level. The trees are very nice for shade, but they made backing in to the site a bit challenging. We disconnected our pick-up tow vehicle and parked it beside the RV; it wouldn't have fit in a line. But the site was wide enough for us to park there.
All in all, it was a very nice place. We were in the off season mid-September, so it was quiet and uncrowded. The weather overnight was nice, and we could open the windows and wake up to the sound of singing birds and the breeze rustling the wildflowers blooming around the site. I would definitely camp here again. - Maggie420
Jul 2015 - $28.00
This campground would probably work well for young families with small RV or trailer. Sites are gravel and not level. No 50 amp electric (we were told our site had 50 amp but that is really a 30 amp & a 20 amp they should provide adapter), cable, wifi or sewer at sites. Dump station is near office which is at the back of the campground. Has a lake for swimming but beach is mud not sand. The road off I-68 is narrow with no shoulder. It was advertised as big rig friendly but that is not true. Entrance hard to see & navigate. All sites are backin which would not be a problem if the roads were wider & trees were further apart. No picnic tables, patios or fire rings. We are here for 1 night and will only return in an emergency. - John & Bobbie

Never again! Terrible. In the rear parking lot of a firehouse. Siren went off about once an hour all night. Nearby train whistle all day and all night. To get there, the roads were narrow and twisty. Lots of workers (linemen, oil workers, etc.) with their families. Semi-permanent. - mrpeepers

The campground is about eight miles from I-79 through the rolling hills of PA, not a problem getting there but it is not your typical highway campground. The park is located behind and run by the local volunteer fire department and staying here helps support the fire department. Our site was near the end of the lot and slopped some. The loose gravel. slope, and recent rains made it difficult to level but we made do, as it was simply an overnight stop for us. Some sites are paved and more level, there are even some pull-thru sites. There are no facilities or activities as this is a simply an area to park your RV. Many of the sites had long-term residents who are working in the area. - Dave Hole

We were traveling at night and needed a place to stay and shower, we stopped at the PA Welcome center on I-70 and grabbed some brochures. They were the only answer we got (at 9pm) so we headed there. We were so happy we ended up staying 2 extra nights. The fireman who manages the place is incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. He met us at the front at 11pm and took us back and let us pick a spot. He mentioned that if they had been full, he would have parked me in front of the firehouse and ran power and electric to my trailer. The bathrooms and shower house was pretty new and very clean. They had laundry facilities but we didn't use them as we only stayed for a few nights. Sites were level, water pressure was great and it was so quiet and comfortable there it was a treat. The only potential down side to note is we had no phone service back there, and had to go out to the road to make or receive calls. We will definitely stay here again, they have a monthly rate that is extremely reasonable. - The Bells 412

The Key West Cubs were a Class A minor league baseball affiliate of the Chicago Cubs in 1975. The team played its home games at Wickers Stadium in Key West, Florida. Prior to being named the Cubs, the team was known as the Key West Conchs from 1972-1974, and the year before that, they were called the Key West Sun Caps. However the team was founded in 1969 as the Key West Padres.
The 1969 season was the first in the Major League history of the San Diego Padres franchise. Prior to the 1969 Padres, Key West had not played host to a professional team since 1952 when the Key West Conchs of the Florida International League played a partial season at Wickers Stadium. The team would enjoy a successful first season with a 66-64 record, which was good enough for a third-place finish in the Southern Division of the FSL.[1] The 1969 Key West Padres were managed by legendary future Major League manager, Don Zimmer.
At the end of the season Padres management would fold the team and move much of their minor league operations to the west coast. The City of Key West would not have a team in the 1970 season, however, in 1971 a new team, the Key West Sun Caps would emerge.
Sun Caps[edit]
After not hosting baseball in 1970, the Sun Caps were established. The Sun Caps would not be affiliated with one Major League Club but would rather be known as a Co-Op team, made up of a few players from a number of organizations. The Sun Caps were typically cast-off players and most of the time when a player showed promise he was moved to a different team. They were the only team in the 12 team league that was not affiliated with just one big-league club. As such the Sun Caps suffered through a 45-93 record which placed them dead last in the FSL.[2]
After the 1971 season the Sun Caps would still remain a co-op team, but were renamed the Key West Conchs. The Conchs became affiliated with the Chicago Cubs for the 1974 season, but posted their worst record yet that season: 37 wins - 94 losses.[3]
The next year, 1975, the team was renamed for their Major League affiliate, becoming the Key West Cubs for their final season in Key West. The team would enjoy a successful season with a 65-69 record, which was good enough for a second-place finish in the Southern Division of the FSL. The Cubs would lose in the first round of the playoffs.[4]
At the end of the season Cubs management would move the team to Pompano Beach, Florida and rename them the Pompano Beach Cubs. The 1975 Key West Cubs would be the last professional team, to date, to be based in Key West.

Visit the
Master of Science in Microsystems Engineering
page on the University of Freiburg website for more details!
After completing my Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, I wanted to continue my education, acquiring the best possible intellectual tools for addressing real-life engineering problems, the kind of problems where standard and known solutions are no longer useful.The structure and organisation of the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) in Freiburg is unique. The numerous laboratories cover virtually all the fields in microsystems. The high academic quality, the excellent technical facilities, the extensive library: all these combine to form an environment which allows Master's students to study at the technological and frontiers edge of knowledge. The programme and the faculty in Freiburg are such that students feel cared for and learn all they need for their future research careers.Aside from my rigorous training, I have enjoyed every moment I have spent in this wonderful city, an amazing place in summer or winter!
After obtaining my Bachelor's degree, I wanted to learn more about MEMS technology. there are many universities in Germany, but I chose Freiburg, since it has one of the largest MEMS research institutions in Europe. The facilities and the library are excellent and the large variety of research groups means that any aspect of MEMS technology can be addressed.During my first year, I took many courses on the fundamentals of MEMS, including mechanics, optics and sensors. No matter in what area of MEMS you specialize, in-depth knowledge is essential, and that is what I received here. There are numerous practical courses, such as the cleanroom laboratory, which gave me hands-on experience. In my second year, I was able to choose some concentration courses in areas in which I was interested; those were well-organized and essential for my future career.In addition, Freiburg is a very beautiful city with clean air and a comfortable climate. On a sunny day, you can go hiking in the Black Forest or have a barbecue with your friends. I believe everyone who comes to study here will enjoy Freiburg.

MIAMI -- Given the Dodgers' recent results in Miami, the Marlins probably would have preferred a different opponent for their home opener.
Hiroki Kuroda pitched eight innings, and the Dodgers disappointed a crowd of 40,666 by beating Florida 7-3 on Friday night.
Los Angeles is 11-3 in Miami since 2006, outscoring the Marlins 92-48.
"It's just one game," said Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who committed a costly throwing error. "We're not frustrated at all. We're going to come back tomorrow and win."
Kuroda (1-0) limited Florida to five hits and an unearned run while striking out seven, and the only walk he allowed was intentional. Florida went 1 for 9 against him with runners in scoring position.
"I'm not big on giving pitchers credit, but he definitely deserves credit," the Marlins' Chris Coghlan said. "I didn't think he left any balls over the plate. In my four at-bats, everything was sinking and moving away. It's tough."
Five of the Dodgers' eight hits were doubles, including a two-run double by James Loney in the ninth. Rafael Furcal had three hits and one of Los Angeles' three stolen bases. Manny Ramirez added two hits, scored once and drove in a run.
Los Angeles was 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position before Casey Blake doubled home the tying run in the seventh. He scored on Blake DeWitt's single, and the Dodgers added two unearned runs in the four-run inning on the error by Hanley Ramirez.
Kuroda threw 100 pitches before departing for a pinch hitter. By then, many fans had already left.
"He looked terrific," manager Joe Torre said. "It's just what we saw in the spring -- very confident, in control, economical. His command was outstanding."
Kuroda won as the Dodgers' opening-day starter a year ago. He's coming off an injury-plagued 2009 season, including a concussion when a comebacker hit him on the front right side of his head.
"I'm so excited I got this win tonight," he said through a translator. "They are great hitters, but I was able to throw my pitches and get them out."
With the score 7-1, the Dodgers' Russ Ortiz loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth. Jonathan Broxton came on with one out and gave up a two-run double by pinch-hitter Wes Helms, then struck out the next two batters.
Chris Volstad (0-1) shut out the Dodgers for six innings, but he gave up three runs in the seventh. Florida's bullpen, which has struggled to start the season, allowed four more.
The Marlins, perennially last in the NL in attendance, drew their largest crowd for a home opener in five years. When asked before the game about playing in front of a big crowd at home, Hanley Ramirez smiled.
"It only happens once every year," he said.
The crowd enjoyed a pitchers' duel for the first six innings, before the Dodgers rallied from a 1-0 deficit in the seventh against Volstad.
"He was still cruising pretty decent," Blake said. "It was his ballgame to win or lose."
Manny Ramirez led off with a double, and Blake's one-out double tied the score. With two outs and the bases loaded, Hanley Ramirez fielded a grounder in the hole and made a wild throw to second trying for a forceout.
Florida took a brief 1-0 lead in the sixth. Cameron Maybin beat out a bunt to start the inning and continued to second when catcher Russell Martin made a wild throw to first on the play. Maybin went to third on a flyout and came home on Jorge Cantu's one-out single.
In the first 2½ innings, the Dodgers and Marlins each went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position.Notes
Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier missed his second game in a row because of a sore left ankle, and he's unlikely to start this weekend, Torre said. ... The left-field scoreboard with inning-by-inning scores of other games is gone. The Marlins said they decided against spending money on the extensive repairs needed because they'll be moving to a new ballpark in 2012. ... Marlins LHP Renyel Pinto, off to a poor start, drew boos in the pregame introductions and again when he entered in the ninth. ... Helms' 45th pinch hit was a Marlins record. ... Florida's Gaby Sanchez, Anibal Sanchez and Brian Sanches have side by side lockers. ... The Dodgers, who open their home schedule Tuesday, have already sold 2 million tickets.

Investors pulled $16.51 billion from stock funds in October, as the market fell.
It was the third highest monthly outflow this year, and the 17th month of net redemptions in the past 18 months, the Investment Company Institute said. September's outflow was $24.44 billion.
There were other indications that outflow eased. Funds that invest primarily in the U.S. disgorged $14.53 billion in new money in October. They took out $19.77 billion the month before. In October, the S&P 500 fell 1.98%.
Stock funds that invest primarily overseas shelled out $1.98 billion to investors vs. $4.68 billion in September. During October, the MSCI EAFE index rose 0.76%, while the dollar fell 0.05%.
Year to date, stock funds hemorrhaged $99.38 billion vs. $80.14 billion in the year-earlier period.
Hybrid funds, which invest in both stocks and bonds, had October inflow of $3.86 billion vs. $5.97 billion the previous month. For the year to date, hybrid funds took in $47.16 billion vs. $32.38 billion a year earlier.
Bond funds had $34.37 billion in October inflow vs. $29.18 billion the month before. It was their highest since February's $34.77 billion.
Bond investors had appetite for risk during most of the month. The yield curve flattened slightly as the yield on two-year notes rose 7 basis points to 0.30% while the yield on 30-year Treasuries inched up 3 basis points to 2.85%.
Bond Buildup
Taxable bond funds took in $29.50 billion in October vs. $25.16 billion the month before.
Investors put $4.87 billion into muni bond funds vs. $4.01 billion inflow the prior month. Year to date, bond funds had inflow of $272.47 billion vs. $95.42 billion inflow a year earlier.
Money market funds, which often have wide flow swings, saw October outflow of $3.55 billion vs. $3.44 billion the month before.
Fund assets fell by $43.5 billion, or 0.3%, to $12.711 trillion from $12.754 trillion the month before. They stood at $11.673 trillion a year earlier. Stock fund assets fell $84.6 billion, or 1.4%, to $5.807 trillion from $5.892 trillion the prior month. They were $5.363 trillion a year earlier.
Early signs were that stock mutual fund outflow eased slightly in November. TrimTabs estimated outflow at $14.6 billion through Nov. 28.
U.S. stock mutual fund outflow accounted for all of that, while U.S. stock ETFs drew an estimated $5 billion. In world equity, mutual funds had zero net flow, while ETFs had $5.1 billion inflow. Through Wednesday's close the S&P 500 was down 0.16%, while the EAFE was up 0.93%.

Originally posted on Football Nation | Last updated 4/23/13
Former Arizona Cardinals' safety, Corporal Patrick Daniel Tillman died nine years ago today, while serving a tour in Afghanistan. Initial reports said that Tillman had been killed by enemy fire, but later it was ruled as "friendly fire".Tillman began his college career at Arizona State University as a linebacker in 1994. In spite of being small for his position (5-foot-11), Tillman surpassed the expectations everyone had of him. In his junior year, not only did he help his team go undefeated and lead them to the Rose Bowl, he was voted PAC-10 defensive player of the year. During his college years, he received many awards and eventually was inducted into the College Football Hall Of Fame in 2010.In 1998, Tillman was selected as the 226th pick in the NFL draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Tillman started 10 of the 16 games in his rookie season as a safety, not as a linebacker. Out of pure loyalty to the Cardinals, Tillman turned down a five-year, $9 million contract offer from the St. Louis Rams. The four year All-Pro, finished his career with 92 tackles, three interceptions, two and a half sacks and one forced fumble (courtesy of NFL.com).At the end of the 2002 season, Tillman was making not much over the league minimum. Again, he turned down a three year, $3.6 million contract, but this time it was with his loyal team. After putting in all that hard work, why would he turn down a big contract that he rightfully deserved? It was eight months after the attacks on September 11th that he put a halt to his NFL career, to enlist in The United States Army.Tillman enlisted with his brother Kevin, on May 31st, 2002. Tillman's brother had already signed with the Cleveland Indians, but also gave up a life in major league sports. After being redeployed to Afghanistan, on April 22nd, 2004, initially had been reported to be killed by enemy combatants. The initial claim was that Tillman and his unit were the victims of an ambush on a road outside the village of Sperah. It was found out that after his burial, the U.S. Department Of Defense and U.S. Congress launched that his death was ruled as fratricide (friendly fire).Following Tillman's death, the linebackers at Ohio State, which consisted of A.J. Hawk, Bobby Carpenter, Anthony Schlegal as well as center Nick Mangold, grew their hair out in tribute of Tillman.The Arizona Cardinals retired his number 40 and Arizona State did the same for the number 42 that he wore in college. The Cardinals also named the plaza surrounding the University of Phoenix Stadium after Tillman. ASU made a "PT-42" patch on the neck of their uniforms as a permanent feature as well as renaming the entryway to their stadium the "Pat Tillman Memorial Tunnel".On April 15th, 2006, the first annual "Pat's Run" was hosted and over 10,000 people participated. The event was a 4.2 miles long course and ended on the 42-yard line of Sun Devil Stadium. Since then, Pat's run continues to grow every year, with more than 35,000 participants around the country.Tillman was living the life that many of us can only dream about. It's selfless people like him that are willing to give up that dream, to fight for our freedom everyday. We all get wrapped up with everything in our lives, but we need to remember that there are still men and women fighting every single day for our freedom, never forget that.Follow me on twitter @TheForsaking
