Documentary-makers are used to working outside the system. Now more than ever, many of them contend, the system for funding documentaries is working against them.
As cinema fans line up for Toronto's Hot Docs festival, and producers descend on the city looking to get funding for their next doc projects, a range of factors is converging to frustrate the documentary industry, argues Lisa Fitzgibbons, executive director of the Documentary Organization of Canada, a group that advocates for filmmakers.
The latest obstacles are obvious: The CBC and the National Film Board of Canada are each absorbing federally imposed 10-per-cent budget cuts, while Telefilm Canada is slashing its funding for theatrical documentaries in half.
Even in the best of times, documentary-making is a labour of love with few financial rewards. Yet Fitzgibbons argues that Canada's overarching system for funding documentaries – a system that relies on broadcasters to trigger the various levels of funding – is compounding the pain. "Everything is contingent on broadcasters participating," she says. "And broadcasters are saying, 'You know what? We're not interested in this content. Make them look like reality shows.' "
Producing a professional-calibre documentary in Canada requires significant funding, particularly for any film hoping to appeal to festivals and international audiences. To help support docs, significant funds have long been allocated to broadcasters through the Canadian Media Fund, a non-profit organization that gets its money from cable and satellite distributors and from the federal government.
Yet the CMF doles out money largely based on audiences numbers. That places the biggest buyers of documentaries at a disadvantage: The CBC, whose audience for documentaries is relatively small; and regional educational networks such as TV Ontario and the Knowledge Network in British Columbia. At the same time, private networks have effectively pulled away from documentaries.
"Most funding in the Canadian system is premised on broadcaster participation, and those broadcasters are opting out," she says. "It's a loss of voice. When you lose that voice, you lose that outlook on the world. And I think that's a net loss for everybody."
Meanwhile, for those public networks still airing serious, innovative documentaries (CBC runs them on Doc Zone and The Nature of Things), there's mounting competition for CMF money. While TVO, for instance, says that its CMF funding has been stable, competition from private networks looking to access that money for more populist Canadian-made programming is mounting.
"We and Knowledge [Network]do certainly go in with one hand tied behind our backs when it comes to ratings, because our potential audience is a portion of the total national Canadian audience," says TVO's chief executive officer, Lisa De Wilde. "To finance documentaries in Canada is an extremely challenging financial exercise. We're committed, as a small organization, to being a part of that space. We think that documentaries are very much in our mandate, that it is all about helping people understand the world." But, she says, "point-of-view documentary films are not ratings grabbers."
Mark Starowicz, executive director of documentary programming for CBC-TV, notes that docs will remain on the network's prime-time schedule this fall. There are also no plans to cut the number of documentaries the CBC commissions from outside independent filmmakers. If documentary programming were to be cancelled, Starowicz says, a number of Canadian production companies would go bankrupt overnight.
"There will be no diminution in the number of independent productions. We're not cutting back," he says, emphatically. "There will be fewer in-house productions. The gap may be filled by a few more independent productions. It may be filled by some co-productions."
The new cuts are instead within the CBC's own documentary-making department. Eighteen jobs are being eliminated from the unit. And the CBC will be moving away from landmark productions – along the lines of Canada: A People's History, broadcast over the network's English and French services. In-house documentary-making will be on a smaller, tighter scale.
Regarding the CMF's dependence on broadcasters to trigger funding, Starowicz agrees that there must be some accountability – because public money is being spent. If a broadcaster doesn't give the green light, he asked, would funding be contingent instead on a bureaucrat or on the very few theatrical distributors still willing to take a risk on documentaries?
The NFB, among others, is looking outside the broadcaster-based system – and toward getting its docs out on the Web and via apps. "That's where the audience is," says Cindy Witten, director-general of the NFB's English program. "We're trying to become platform agnostic. You look at a story, and you think about who the audience is and where are we going to find them. What's the best way to engage them, and what's the best way to tell the story?" Besides, notes Witten, "broadcasters' appetite for one-off films is diminishing."
Fitzgibbons, of the Documentary Organization of Canada, thinks that such changes in approach should to be reflected in funding policies at the Canadian Media Fund. "We understand that for the time being, television remains the driving force," she says. "But we have many other audiences that are tapping into content through other means, whether it's iTunes or Netflix."
What's more, she notes, "We've never seen such audiences as we have in the last few years attending documentary festivals. We've seen the proliferation of community-based screenings. People want to engage with deeper content that they're not getting on TV. That's the irony."Report Typo/Error

Chapter OneMature
Stephen held his knee still as his mother cleaned the wound, he was careless at times but he would blame the other kids.
His mother scolded him over and over for playing in the street, not only for it being dangerous but because he should be playing in the grass where it was softer and safer. He listened intently and nodded as he tried to ignore the sting of the antibacterial cream. He whined as she rubbed a none too gently.
You'll thank me later when it's not infected, she said firmly and continued. She didn't look up anymore, unconcerned if it was painful. It was a job that had to be done.
Stephen stared at the wall to distract himself; the bathroom wall was covered by a thin strip of wallpaper that was fraying at the corners. It was much nicer when his father was here, nothing was out of place and everything always worked. Now, mother had to call a repairman or an electrician to fix things because she didn't know how to fix it like father. He felt a warm hand on his knee instead of the cold of the antibacterial cream. His mother was rubbing a bandaid down, smoothing out all the creases to try and make it perfect.
His mother stood to full height now, warning him of other dangers and to be careful when he played.
Stephen promised and hopped down from the counter. He thanked her softly, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his nose into the soft fabric of her shirt. She hugged him back as best as she could before shooing him away to go outside, despite her earlier warnings.
Stephen smiled and bounded out the front door, slamming it behind him in excitement. The street was still the same, with other neighborhood children playing together. He was now more cautious about running down the driveway or out onto the street in the middle of a game. He stood back for a few minutes, observing how they played, what was the rules, and when he could join. They began to pick teams, two leaders, an Indian and a Cowboy.
The leader of the cowboys pointed to Stephen. He moved to stand beside his fellow teammates, proud to be a cowboy against the reckless Indians. They explained the rules; Indians and cowboys fight to the death, Indians had to be shirtless so they could be easily spotted out of the cowboys. Cowboys had to use a nerf gun and Indians had to strike with mud covered sticks. The cowboys ran to their house to collect their guns and the Indians gathered sticks to coat in mud.
Stephen joined the mad scramble to collect guns, running into this open garage to grab two giant guns out of the toy bin. There were a bag of darts beneath them. He grabbed the bag and tied it to the belt loop on his shorts. He picked up both guns and ran back to the circle in the street where everyone was slowly filtering in.
The group of Indians started to huddle together, therefore the cowboys had to do the same. The leader of their group explained a plan; they would stay by the forest's edge, waiting for someone to scoop it out before attacking.
It was simple enough. Both groups broke and the leaders shook hands, the cowboys giving the Indians a headstart since it was their land. The Indians scrambled into the woods, chests bare and sticks wielded. The cowboys watched with amusement as they disappeared into the brush.

What is a 'Full Recourse Debt'
A full recourse debt is a guarantee that no matter what happens, the borrower will repay the debt. Typically with a full recourse loan no occurrence, such as loss of job or sickness, can get the borrower out of the debt obligation. In this situation, if there is no collateral for the loan, the lender can go after the borrowers personal assets to collect if the loan is defaulted.
Next Up
BREAKING DOWN 'Full Recourse Debt'
In contrast, a limited recourse loan would only allow the lender to take assets that are listed as collateral in the signed loan agreement. Also, a non-recourse loan would have no collateral and the lender would only be able to take the asset that is being financed, such as a home in a non-recourse mortgage.

Just sigh and ignore it and him for the rest of the nightMature
Whatever. Douche-nozzles like this guy will never learn and calling him out on it ain't gonna get you the dollar. His friends are gonna believe him before you and all you're gonna get for your troubles is no tips from the rest of his loud-ass party. No, as long as he's not actually stealing from the jar it's better to just ignore him.
You at least take some small amount of satisfaction that he pretty much will no longer exist in your world. If he insists on service, you can point out that he's clearly had too much to drink already and perhaps you could call him a cab again.
Yes, you are drunk with power.
You would much rather be drunk on Woodford Reserve.

A bit of a sleep in this morning after our late night but we managed to get out of the house by 10.00am. The plan was to go to Putrajaya which is about an hour away.

|Re: read repairs for get_columns_since
|Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:46:32 GMT
Here is another reason to have a repair flag: Currently read repair is all or nothing. (There is an undocumented DoConsistencyChecksBoolean that turns it on or off globally. The default is true.) Assuming that no RR at all is unacceptable, having it on all the time causes inefficiency when there are more reads than writes, since RR sends a read command to each replica. If you're doing a weak read (the only kind exposed in thrift right now) where writes are relatively rare then it would allow more requests per node to only do a RR every M requests. Then you would be closer to one read op per request instead of N reads where N is the number of replicas. -Jonathan On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 4:28 PM, Jun Rao <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > > The difference is that for get_slice/get_columns_since, their results are > affected by every update.

Change Of Address
A contemporary romantic comedy about friends and lovers...
Margaret: David:
Change Of Address
Review by Margaret Pomeranz
EMMANUEL MOURET is a French actor/writer/director.
He stars in Change of Address as David, a French horn player who arrives in Paris to find work in an orchestra and finds himself sharing an apartment with Anne, (FREDERIQUE BEL).
Shes a ditzy effervescent young woman with a big heart whos decided that the love of her life is one of the customers at her copying business whom shes never actually spoken to.
To make ends meet David begins teaching the horn to Julia, (FANNY VALETTE), a shy, withdrawn young woman with whom he decides hes madly in love.
The ups and downs of Davids relationship with the frustratingly withdrawn Julie and his more than friendly on occasions relationship with Anne are the stuff of this rather prosaic little film.
The trouble is that it grows on you. David is a klutz, Julie a blank page but Anne is at least alive.
Ultimately this ends up being quite a sweet film. It did remind me of the frustrations Ive felt with the heroines of Eric Rohmers films on occasions.
And Im not sure about Emmanual Mouret casting himself in the lead. You feel that possibly he would have been better off just having a bit of an objective take on David.
Its been simply directed, its all in the characters really.
Further comments
MARGARET: David?
DAVID: Yeah, I like this a bit more than, than some of the French comedies we've been seeing and I think it was partly because of him in the lead. I, I thought he gave a really nice performance as sort of this stuttering, hesitant, shy, maladroit sort of character. I thought it was, I thought David was quite an interesting guy and I loved Anne, FREDERIQUE BEL as Anne. She's quite unaware of her own sexiness and, and...
MARGARET: Yeah, there's a naiveté to her, isn't there?
DAVID: Yeah, but a really very attractive naiveté. I mean I thought all the characters were really, really quite nice in this film.
MARGARET: Oh, I could have wrung Julie's neck, you know.
DAVID: No, Julie has, she's in her own little space and I, I liked her too. Look, again, it's not very substantial. It's a minor comedy, but I think it's done really quite nicely.
Your rating: Change Of Address
Comment: really pleasant - a joy of a movie
Comment: Here's a French romantic comedy (and it's very French!) that doesn't break much new ground but makes for a very pleasant ride for its 85 minute running time. (And why can't English-speaking directors make 90 minute movies anymore?)
The three leads are all great fun to watch and the Paris locations are attractive.

Let's get one detail about myself out of the way really quick. I love Assassin's Creed. I enjoyed the first one despite it's repetitiveness. ACII was my game of the year in 2009. In 2011, I got my first tattoo. It is the symbol of the Brotherhood, who's admittedly ultra-libertarian ideals strike a cord with me deep down. This is a series I hold very dear to my heart. I even enjoyed the Desmond bits.
It should come as no surprise that I was excited for Assassin's Creed III. I pre-ordered and bought the special edition, and I was ready and raring to go. I played through the game methodically, getting 100% sync on every mission to make the Platinum trophy easier to attain once I was finished with the story. Eventually, I managed to finish the main story. The credits rolled, and as I sat there I contemplated what I had experienced. I talked it over with a friend of mine, another avid fan of the series, and I finally came to my conclusion about the game as a whole: This game is a let down.
There are three main areas where the game displays some serious flaws. For the sake of time and simplicity, I've narrowed my main complaints to three main points. The story is weaker than it has been at any point, there are frustrating problems with the gameplay itself, and the ending left me feeling unsatisfied and frustrated. Obviously if you don't want spoilers, don't read the Ending section, because I'm going to rant about it extensively. I'll keep the revealing of plot points to a minimum in the rest of the post.
The Story
If we're being totally honest, Assassin's Creed has had a convoluted story since it's inception. However, as a big fan of both Metal Gear and Kingdom Hearts, that just isn't something I personally feel compelled to complain about. The Assassin Brotherhood and Templar Order have been fighting since human history began. Both seek peace, but their methods are in stark opposition to one another. The Assassins seek peace through the defense of people's freedoms, while the Templars wish to dominate the populace. In modern times, both are searching for powerful artifacts from the First Civilization (a society of beings with technology that they are gods. Think Thor from Marvel Comics). Why? Because our sun is about to punch the planet with enough radiation to fry all technology and send us back to the dark ages. The two sects seek to do this by exploring the memories of a guy named
Nolan North Desmond Miles' ancestors. Desmond comes from a lineage of legendary Assassins, all of whom have come into contact with first civilization technology. They do this using a machine called the Animus, which lets you look into the memories of people's ancestors through their DNA. Confused yet? Good. Welcome to Assassin's Creed.
So let's look at Assassin's Creed III specifically now. Our main protagonist is Conner, a Native American assassin who's name is too hard to say, so the broken down old man who trains him calls him by his son's name because he's an unbalanced shut in who gave up on his hopes and dreams. He has a cool hat though. Conner, despite the player seeing him grow up, is a very one dimensional character. His motivation is almost entirely keeping the British and the Colonists off of his land. He believes in freedom and equality, but he never seems to voice it very openly unless his tomahawk is involved.
On Podcast Beyond, their discussion of Assassin's Creed III summed up the problem with the story pretty adeptly by Goldy. You are being carted from one place to another, being told what your motivation is, and then doing a mission. You then get carted off again, given another motive by another character, and you're off to do some more killing. Conner has no will of his own, and the story of the game assumes far too much knowledge of the American Revolution. I feel like there are layers and layers that I'm missing because that particular period of history is not my area of expertise. With Ezio, we saw the character grow and become more mature. The gameplay let you not only become a master assassin, but a patron to businesses, a liberator, and a powerful figure even without the Brotherhood. I believed that Ezio could live in the shadows, disappear, and only show himself when the Templars began to encroach on the rights of the people. I could believe in Ezio. I could believe in the warrior monk Altair. I don't believe in Conner. He plays as little more than a pawn to the powers that be, never making choices on his own. He also seems a little bipolar, swinging from calm speech to murderous bouts of fury.
I think save for Ben Franklin and George Washington, your average Joe is not going to know who the majority of these historical figures are. But instead of doing what ACII and ACB did and taking these historical figures and making a character around the mold of their past actions, ACIII does this with one person, Charles Lee, but not to nearly the effect of the latter's Cesare and Rodrigo Borgia. I never hated Charles Lee. I never felt like he was really even that much of a threat. In one sequence, Charles Lee confronts you in a prison. Without going details, Conner lunges at him and Lee just brushes him off. As Conner, I've fought entire battalions of soldiers, using my fists for fun, stealing weapons from soldiers and dropping them to keep the fun going. I do not believe for a second that Conner could not have taken Charles Lee in a fight. Ezio could not attack Cesare or Rodrigo because they were at the head of the Papacy, the most powerful organization in Italy. He had to find other ways to deal with them or get at them. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.
All of this, the weak characterization of the protagonist, the lack of a consistent villain, and the absence of motivation yields a frustratingly flat story that seems contrived. The impression I get is that the writers had a bunch of ideas that may have been good, but never got to see those out to the end, instead slapping a bunch of concepts together to find out what the net result would be. The ending has the same problem, but more on that later.
I disagree with the Pride of Long Island, Colin Moriarty. I love the gameplay in this franchise. I like the free running, I don't mind that climb and run are mapped to the same button, despite the frustration that sometimes come with that. But the problems I have come mostly from the superfluous additions made to the game, along with some truly irritating bugs. The economy set up from the Ezio trilogy is gone, which is fine. That set-up would not make sense in colonial America. Kudos to the developers for recognizing that and trying something different. I just wish what they tried was more fun. Trading is tedious. You buy items from your people on the homestead, or you hunt, or you have artisans on your homestead craft you something. It's an endless torrent of menus that are complicated and by no means seamless. There are still things about the crafting system that I don't understand after almost 26 hours in game or more. Money isn't hard to come by, but I don't feel the same desire to collect as I did in the other games. The mansion in the homestead is not an awesome villa or underground assassin den.
The missions for the Homestead, however, are quite enjoyable. The people who come to settle there have more personality than most of the people in game, and I legitimately enjoy doing errands for them. Seeing the little village grow is satisfying, as are the relationships you develop with these characters. The Homestead is a charming addition to the series.
Not so much charming as bowel-shakingly is the addition of naval combat. Man oh man, did this tickle my fancy. Unlike the poor full synchronization design of the main missions, the naval combat was a joy to play over and over. Being on the water is beautiful, the sound of the wind and explosive cannon's roar as you unleash a broadside pulls you deep into the experience. I would honestly love to see more of this in future games, perhaps focusing on the golden age of piracy, but if Podcast Beyond 268 is to be believed, Ubisoft is going to ruin for everybody and keep trying to release this franchise every year, which is a terrible idea. But I don't have the power to keep a corporation from running my beloved series into the ground. And if the rumors hold true, it may be the first Assassin's Creed since Ezio's debut that I do not buy at launch, if at all.
The Ending
Beware kiddies, there's spoilers afoot. If you don't want me to blow the lid off the ending for you, skip to the conclusion.
As I said earlier, I actually like the Desmond section. I was interested in seeing his story arc come to an end. There was some of the fulfillment I had been hoping for since the second game, with Desmond pulling off ops in the modern day. I absolutely loved these sections. New York was astounding, Brazil was intense, and Abstergo was a fantastic turn that brought everything full circle. But it kept going, and for a minute the ending seemed like it would be good. The menacing First Civilization apparition, Juno, has hinted throughout the whole game that she will save the world, all the while professing her hatred for mankind. You know she cannot be trusted, but the clock is ticking, and the sun is going to give you the business if you take to long. So you unlock all the doors in the First Civilization stronghold and you make your way to the end. But then Minerva, another FC techno-ghost shows up. And she tells you, surprise surprise, Juno doesn't care for humans all that much. That and to let her out would kill Desmond and she would try to take revenge on mankind. If you looked at the trophy list, you could deduce that Desmond was a goner.
But none of this is what frustrates me. What I found so frustrating, is that ACIII could have offered you a choice between the two. In truth, it seems like they wanted to. Minerva gives you a full summary of what will happen if you choose to let the sun incinerate technology again. And it was awesome. I've always loved the critique of religion as a controlling power structure in this franchise. Any series that puts a disclaimer at the beginning because of what the subtext says about power, corruption, government, corporations, and religion is going to pique my interest. Minerva tells the story of Desmond, after letting the world burn to protect it from Juno, emerges in a new age. He begins to lead people, to inspire them. He gives them hope and teaches them so that one day they may save themselves from the cataclysm that brought them down, as it was sure to repeat itself. But despite all of Desmond's best efforts, his words are twisted over the years, until his words are used to subjugate and control others the way religion always has. In short, Desmond would become the new Jesus, a messiah to some, an instrument of power to those who would exploit his memory. This would have been the best ending for the franchise. But, because this was too controversial, Ubisoft decided to tell you this story without giving you the satisfaction of it being a real ending. Desmond, of course, sacrifices himself, the world is saved, and I rage at the predictability of it all. I felt teased, cheated, and betrayed, and still do.
Assassin's Creed III misses one point for each mark it hits. Some great additions to the gameplay are overshadowed by some truly frustrating and pointless new features. While the backdrop of the American Revolution is a perfect choice for the series, the narrative portion of the game fails to deliver in a meaningful way. Conner does not feel like he is helping to change the course of a battle, he feels like an instrument totally interdependent on the will of others. The underlying theme of this series is that while freedom may not be perfect, it should be defended at all costs. The design of this game should learn from its narrative. This entry in my beloved franchise felt confined and stale in the main missions, leaving a forgettable protagonist who is far overshadowed by his antagonistic father, who is far more interesting. The naval battles, the expansive frontier, and the homestead offer a great deal of enjoyable content, as does the exploration of colonial Boston and New York. There are some truly great experiences to be had in this game, but the glaring flaws keep the final product from being more than just okay.
My final verdict for Assassin's Creed III is a 7.0. Good on IGN's scale, and just barely above okay. This franchise is better than this. I hope it finds it's way again.

Stopping for the night at this older, small campground about 17 miles from Rolla, MO was a real pleasure. The new owner was more than welcoming, and in fact the group of permanent residents at this campground were more than friendly and invited us to join them in a farewell barbeque for someone leaving for a new home. The site was a gravel pull-through, and when the 30 amp connection did not work, the owner loaned me his converter so that I could hook up to the 50 amp connection. The site was relatively level and well shaded. WiFi was strong. And the price was lower than anyplace we have been recently. I would highly recommend this if you are in central Missouri and need a place to stop for a night, or more. - David642

The Good: $22 full hookup, good water pressure, electric, and sewer connections in proper location. Pull through sites. The Bad: Highway noise, had to run A/C fan motor to create white noise in bedroom to sleep. Some overhanging tree limbs brushed the top and sides of our RV while leaving our spot. The Ugly: Old and damaged RV's are apparently allowed to stay in the park. Many large propane tanks indicating folks living in the park, which in itself is not a big deal, however, when these folks let their large dogs run free, well it's just rude. I would not stay here again. - Living the Fulltime Dream

Great little campground. You bring Hwy 8 to the camp so very easy to navigate and the road in the campground is good. The owner is fantastic, super friendly and knows all the local ins and outs and a great deal about Route 66, which is what brought us here. The campground is well maintained, a mix of seasonal and overnighters. It is very quiet with no road noise. The sites are gravel with some grass, very level and include a picnic table with a solar light on it, and a fire pit. Ours was a back in with full hook ups and 50 amp. We had to push our tow dolly off to the side and we had just enough room to park our car after backing our 37-foot RV in. There is plenty of shade which we like. Water pressure was good. WiFi was good, but didn't always work, our Verizon hotspot was strong. There are trails in the woods that take you to the Conservation Area next to the campground, great for hiking and walking the dog. Bathrooms and showers were clean, no laundry facilities. Route 66 and all it has to offer is close by. We stayed the last week of August 2016 and paid the weekly rate of $140/ $20.00 a night. - BarrettsHappyTrails

Pretty setting in the trees. A little far from I-44, and the spaces were a little tight for a long 5th wheel, 37'. No working Internet and satellite wouldn't pick up all my channels. Too many trees. A good, reasonable overnight stay. - desuhu

Only the second place that we ever pulled out of after seeing the place. A note on the door of the closed-up office said to pick a site and put some money in an envelope. We "shooed" our way through a herd of about 30 goats and made a circle around the so called resort. What we saw prompted us to retreat back over the 3+ mile wagon trail and go to the Wal-Mart in Rolla. A very good decision as the area suffered a torrential downpour (the remnants of Hurricane Ike) that night and I would guess the four RV's that were in the lowland park were either washed away or, at best, just flooded. I felt sorry for them and the goats. - campiflo

Plan on a rather narrow, steep 3½ mile downhill trip to get to the campground. Located fairly close to I-44, so expect some road noise. Some of the park's gravel roads are less than flat and the gravel size is way too big. Hookups at our site were probably not to code and dangerous - the water and electric hookups were in the same metal box (which was also the site marker). The sites are down low enough that some cell phones and air cards won't get a good signal. There were little bits of litter around our campsite. We used this as an overnight stop - I doubt if we would do it again. - Muggsy

Considering it had been fully flooded 2 months ago the park has made a great comeback. They are still graveling roads, and some sites are closed, but the access road is all paved (don't know what the earlier posts referred to). Pool was open, but landscaping needed to be done. And they could upgrade the dumps a bit. But look for this place to only get better. - LEHogie

About 5 miles from freeway. Very clean and quiet. Full hookups. Fast Wi-Fi at site near store. There were a lot of RVs stored in campsites long term without owners present. Trout fishing nearby. Would stay here again. - Mark and Karen

The Meramec Springs Country Store campground is a clean and friendly place to stay. There are some trees on each lot. The newer pull through lots have new trees so not much shade there but plenty on the top of the hill if you wish more shade. The park is quiet and peaceful during the week. On weekends at the height of the camping season it's a busy place but still a very nice campground. The newer pull through spots are a little narrow and unlevel. The campground is just up the road from a great trout fishing spot. There is shopping about five miles from the campground. I read a review that was suppose to be for this campground but they got it mixed up the state park up the road where the trout fishing is. This park is a modern and updated site and we have been coming here for several years. My husband has family in this area. - karab2779
Sep 2011 - $29.00
This is a trout fishing park. It does have a playground for the kids. The RV sites are all heavily shaded but not much grass gravel roads and level sites. Bathroom and showers are old and not well maintained. No laundry and NO DUMP. But if you like large wooded sites and the feeling of being out in the boonies you would probably like this. Its not a bad place but overpriced for what you get. For my money go down the road 45 miles and stay at Montauk State Park, cheaper and better park. - firedoc

The campground is approximately 8 miles out of Saint Robert, right out of FLW, on cty. rd. PP. the last 1/4 mile is rough gravel. The setting is picturesque, set about 60 acres of pasture land and part of the campground bordering Gasconade River. Our site, C1, was 50amp full hookup. Water pressure was pretty weak, wifi was okay with signal being stronger in our rig with full line of sight. They do have a repeater in sites on river with a stronger signal. AT&T signal was acceptable, my Verizon cell signal got 1 bar in some areas. My husband, who had occassion to talk with owners, found them to be friendly and accommodating. There were two bath/restrooms with the office/shower, laundry being one and a "rustic" shower/restrooms serving river sites. The bath houses were not very clean, granted we were there at the end of season. The weather was unseasonably warm and we were warned they could turn the water off if the temperature dropped too low. Flies were horrible, fishing was good, setting was gorgeous. - lissahope

Offers fishing, canoes, tubing, John boat rentals, cabins, tent and RV spaces right on the river. Full hookup service at most sites, with laundry room. Wonderful owners who try hard to make your stay enjoyable! - patty ann on wheels

This campground is really not big rig friendly. Low tree branches and narrow rural roads to get to the location. The office was not manned upon our arrival but the mgmt does answer the phone. The problem is that there is little to no wireless phone service in the campgrounds. A 911 call would be a problem at least while we were there. We chose to move after one night due to low elevation and forecast heavy rain. Getting out after heavy rain would be a challenge. - Beech35p

A welcome surprise after a long day of driving. We couldn't find our Passport America card, but the very nice owner informed us since he hadn't yet turned on the water, he would only charge us half price. Then he went ahead and turned on the water anyway! The campground was a bit muddy since it was right after a big snow that had recently melted. Very quiet at night, with a nice pull through for our 45' motorhome and Jeep tow. Good satellite reception and good AT&T phone. The downside? Sadly, the park is closing on July 1, 2015. The property has been sold to the church next door, and the church doesn't want to maintain the campground. Bummer! Until then, the park is open and makes a great overnight. Be aware that the church is within close range of the RV sites, and on Sunday the owner told us more than 100 cars park there, so you could have a tough time arriving or leaving during that time. The driveway into the campground is rather long and narrow, and goes over a deep water filled ditch at the entrance, so we needed all the room we could get. If other cars were to be coming or going at that time, you would have to wait for the driveway and entrance road to clear. We were leaving on a Sunday and simply left extremely early before church time. - 3DogsGo

What a little gem of a park. They definitely need to pop a few signs on the highway to advertise what a friendly little park they are. We were lucky to even find them, but thanks to RV Park Reviews, they popped up on our laptop. They are super convenient to the highway if you need a stop over for a night while traveling, or even if you have an extended stay in the area. There are some sites that appear to have some semi-permanent residents, but I rarely find that to be an issue. Great hosts, great little quiet park to relax in. They even had enough groceries in their tiny store where we could put together a quick dinner of hot dogs and chips. - Armyret99

Rates are $15 per night for water and electric, plus $10 per person per night. This place is right on the Meramec River which makes it convenient for floating, but the prices are way too much for the quality and cleanliness of this "resort". We camped in a motor home and it was impossible to run the a/c as there is no 50amp in the campground. The restrooms were definitely not clean, and the restroom facilities were totally stopped up with sewage. The motel room for other family members was musty, no tv, a regular double bed and very basic, as well as the ceiling had never been finished. I would certainly not recommend this campground. - Use2bBandman

Great family campground with pool. Playground equip. would have been nice for the kids. We had river site camping which was great for fishing and swimming. Campground owner and staff were very nice and helpful, you could tell they took great pride in having a nice clean place. The flies were a little bothersome, but again we were right on the river. We can't wait to go back nest year. - Dianne1

Stayed for one night while passing through the area. Quite a way off of I-44, but that makes for a quiet night! Gravel roads & gravel sites. Utilities worked correctly. Good power, water, and sewer. We couldn't get wifi. No cable. Too shady for satellite. only 1 station over the air. As mentioned by others, the owner is VERY friendly, very accomodating and always working outside and doing something to improve the property. We're not sure what else is in the area for recreation activities, but this would be a good base camp while out and about during the day. - FireFlyer

DO NOT GO HERE IN AN RV. We were told that they had Rv camping available. They explained that there would be no electric or water hook ups. They said they only had primitive camping sites. I assumed, at the very least, I could be in the shade, be close to the river and have a fire pit. When we arrived, we were lead to a field with no grill, no fire pit, no access to the river, and absolutely no shade. When I told an employee that I could not stay there and wanted my money refunded, he insulted me and forced me to drive down their terrible road to get my money back. - corndog

WE DID NOT STAY HERE. The roads approaching the campground are unpaved, narrow, have large holes, and have significant overhead branches low enough to damage big rigs (including ours). Once you start down the road, there is no place to turn around. When it rains it is very muddy. This campground is suitable only for very small rigs and tents. The main reason to come here would be to rent canoes. - Ken and Lee

Close to highway so it is noisy. Almost level concrete pads. Was wired for cable but was told there was no cable despite getting the cable listing channel. Asked for a discount and was declined. The price was the same despite being a Good Sam member. Don't bother with this place unless desperate. We planned on staying 35 miles East but couldn't get an answer on the phone. - Bwicks

We stayed at this park for almost a year. We paid the monthly rate of $380.00. Pros are that they are very convenient to Ft Leonard Wood and they have concrete pads. That is all the good I can say. Cons are that they are right next to the highway exit so you get a lot of semi traffic noise. You have to deal with people "partying" in the hotel. When the pool is open, it leaks into the RV parking lot creating a huge mess. The shower facilities are completely unusable and you have to go into the hotel for a shower. The internet only works about 50% of the time. The cable is very bad also. It only works well in the back in sites. All the pull through sites only get very weak cable signals. The sites are very narrow so you cannot use your awnings and there are no trees for shade. They have one washer ($1.75 per load) and two dryers ($1.00 per load) inside the hotel. Evening time and weekends creates a wait time to use the machines. Water pressure is very low due to leaks in the water lines in the ground. The hotel has recently been purchased by new owners so hopefully they will fix the existing problems. We left due to the management of the hotel stating that they were planning on raising the rates to $420.00 a month in January of 2015 and because they have not fixed anything since they have taken over. For the price they want, it is not worth it for us to stay there. If you are just staying overnight and don't mind sub par facilities, this campground is convenient to the highway and the Army post. - njwashington

We have stayed here for the last month and a half. (Paying monthly rates) It is convenient to Ft. Leonard Wood for the last two months of work and daughter's last semester of college. Sites are all cement but close together. You cannot pull out your awnings. You are right next to I-44 so there is always traffic noise. Your view is the freeway and the hotel. There is cable included in the price. You can also walk up to the hotel for a shower and restrooms if you choose. I did use showers twice. There is also one washer ($1.25) and 2 dryers ($1.00) up at the hotel for everyone's use. They worked well, and we never had to wait for them. There is a convenient store/gas station right across the street if needed. Management is very helpful. We had a problem with the water, and they fixed it right away. This park worked well for our needs. - rljmowl

Curse the jar packaging that is this product's downfall! In better packaging (such as an airless jar or an opaque tube with a pump dispenser) this would be an affordable way to treat normal to dry skin to an antioxidant-rich moisturizer with a beautifully silky texture. The silkiness doesn't depend on the packaging, so you'll still get a beautifully smooth texture and finish, but nearly all of the beneficial ingredients in this product (including retinol) will deteriorate with the repeated exposure to light and air. By the way, vitamin C plays only a minor role in this formula; Vitamin E is present in a much greater amount, so the name isn't logical.
Help soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles while lending a lovely glow to your skin with Vitamin C Line Filling Radiance Cream by Dr. Denese. Its light diffusion properties aid in minimizing the appearance of lines, pores, discolorations, and other skin imperfections. The formula incorporates vitamins C, K, A, E, and B complex to make the skin appear brighter and more moisturized.

Dr. Denese New York At-A-Glance
Strengths: Several well-formulated serums and moisturizers that are reasonably priced; a very good matte-finish, tinted sunscreen with zinc oxide; uses well-researched, proven ingredients that truly benefit skin, and uses them in higher concentrations than most skin-care lines.
Weaknesses: Problematic toner; inclusion of unnecessary irritants such as lavender oil and menthol; limited options for sun protection; a few gimmicky, multi-step kits and specialty products that are easily replaced by other products in her line.
This doctor-designed skin-care line was, without question, the one most requested for review by our readers, primarily due to its prominence on QVC's Web site and home shopping program.
A graduate of
Her book, Dr. Denese's Secrets for Ageless Skin: Younger Skin in 8 Weeks, on how to take care of your skin, is much like Dr. Perricone's book The Wrinkle Cure, in that both promise to get rid of (or at least really, really minimize) your wrinkles. Another similarity is the lack of supporting research or studies to back up the claims in either book. Neither Dr. Perricone nor Dr. Denese source their information, and more often than not, there are no research reports or supporting studies to be found. We are just supposed to take their word for everything they say. Denese naturally uses her gender more than Perricone to establish credibility and empathy with female consumers (who, no secret, purchase the vast majority of skin-care products out there), and also routinely appears on QVC to discuss her products.
Ironically, her product line, sold exclusively via QVC and Denese's Web site, makes much more sense than a lot of what she writes in her book. After reading the book and evaluating her namesake line, we noted some interesting and frustrating statements and conflicts that deserve attention. One of her statements that we found most surprising, for a dermatologist keen on anti-aging medicine, was: "If a skin-care product doesn't work, it's not the consumer's fault." This statement is not untrue, it's just incomplete. Dr. Denese contends that no one can afford to throw away money on products that don't work, a point with which we truly agree. However, she mentions nothing about carefully establishing a skin-care routine and then following through on it. Unfortunately, many consumers don't follow through, and that's a big reason why they don't get the results they want from products.
For example, using an anti-acne product only occasionally, or not applying sunscreen daily or liberally enough, won't benefit your skin and could easily lead you to believe that the unimpressive results mean the product is faulty.
Moreover, some skin-care problems (like sagging) are beyond what any product can address. (That's why there are dermatologists and plastic surgeons with thriving practices.) All the dermatologists we have interviewed over the years agree that patient compliance with and adherence to skin-care routines and the regimen of topical medications is an ongoing challenge, and there is research supporting that (Source: Dermatologic Therapy, July-August 2006, pages 224–236). Dr. Denese also understands this, as evidenced from her comment about the Dr. Obagi System (for skin discolorations): "The only times I've seen the Obagi System fail is [sic] when patients have skipped steps and ignored instructions."
In another statement Dr. Denese refers to petrolatum and mineral oil as "junk food for skin," stating that "they feel good but they clog your pores." This is not a true statement because neither substance is capable of becoming hard and clogging the lining of the pore. In fact, both of these ingredients have impressive research proving their benefit, mildness, and effectiveness for skin (Sources: Cutis, September 2004, pages 109–116; and Dry Skin and Moisturizers: Chemistry and Function, CRC Press, 2000, pages 252–254).
Petrolatum and mineral oil have greasy textures, so they're not the best-feeling ingredients for someone with oily or acne-prone skin, but in this case greasiness does not equal clogged pores.
Dr. Denese also refers to blackheads as dirt, which is completely false. Blackheads are composed of sebum, dead skin cells, and other debris (mostly tiny hairs) that make up the follicle lining of the pore. The oxidation that occurs as this mixture of sebum and dead skin cells reaches the pore opening is what causes the blackness—it has nothing to do with cleanliness (Sources: Clinical Dermatology, September-October 2004, pages 367–374; Cutis, August 2004, pages 92–97; and American Academy of Dermatology, www.aad.org).
According to Dr. Denese, you cannot exfoliate too much. Yet she doesn't warn against the potential for irritation when too much of a good thing becomes a punishment rather than a benefit, which absolutely can occur with over-exfoliation.
Surprisingly, Dr. Denese does not recommend salicylic acid (BHA) for exfoliation. Instead, she prefers AHAs (glycolic and lactic acids) because AHAs may be used at higher concentrations than BHA. However, the difference in concentrations between AHAs and BHA is not about quantity. Rather, it's because they work best at different concentrations, and also perform differently. That is, a higher concentration of AHA is not more effective or better than a lower concentration of BHA. AHAs are most effective at 5% to 10%, while BHA is most effective at 1% to 2%. In the world of skin care, there are many examples where a higher percentage of an ingredient doesn't necessarily equate with superior effects, as is the case with AHA and BHA (Sources: Women's Health in Primary Care, July 2003, pages 333–339; Journal of Dermatological Treatment, April 2004, pages 88–93; Dermatology, January 1999, pages 50–53; and Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, April 1997, pages 589–593).
Despite the incomplete information (or in some cases, misinformation) in her book, Denese has crafted some remarkably state-of-the-art products, and the prices, though steep, aren't unreasonable.
As is true for most skin-care lines (including those from dermatologists), there are shortcomings and missteps along with good products here. For those who choose the best of what Dr. Denese has to offer, the rewards will be smiling at them in the mirror each day (but please don't take that to mean your wrinkles will be gone)!
Note: All Dr. Denese products contain fragrance unless otherwise noted.

Vision, creativity is key to saving Delta
What may be the region's biggest hope -- tightly focused dignity -- could be its biggest impediment to survival.
"The issue is small towns, the nature of small towns," said Blake Wilson, president of the Mississippi Economic Council, said.
Much of the effort in the Delta, he said, is too tightly focused. People are asking, "How do we save Lambert, Sledge or Sumner?" when they should be asking, "How do we save Tallahatchie County, Quitman County, the Delta?"

i'm scared just hearing about this

I'd say to the woman: "I understand exactly how you feel. So many people would rather have their rapist or robber decide for them if they should live or die. My wife is glad I don't share your sentiments. Enjoy your meal."

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Oh sorry, I guess you'd rather a bad guy be the only one having a gun around you....
For God, Family and Country!
I'm reminded of a short conversation that Winston Churchill had with a female Member of Parliament:
"Mr. Churchill, you are extremely drunk!"
"And you, Madame, are extremely ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober."
A neighbor from California told me that citizens that carry guns are no better than gangs in L.A.. This moron just moved from San Diego to Arizona, and he had no idea that I was carrying when he made his comment. It was all I could do to maintain my cool.
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.

Sounds like a nanny can't mind your own business kind of person. They want to save you from yourself... I'm not as pleasant with these types.
You did very well not to say something... I on the other hand, have never learned to keep my big mouth shut!
I'm quite sure I would have said, "well don't let the door hit you in your extra large..."!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
Hee. I live for that, and it almost never happens.
Back when I still worked in town, I had one lady who worked at the county jail come in. All the time I was serving her she kept looking at my pistol. (She wore a holster with her uniform, but apparently left the pistol at work.) Finally she asked me, "Are you expecting any trouble?"
Thank you, Lord! I've got an answer for that saved up, but nobody ever asked me. Without even looking up from what I was doing, I said, "No, ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I'd be carrying my rifle."

text: Hey it's Raveman and here's my zombie-outbreak plan-out, in case our fellow dead no longer are dead!Armor and Equipment listed below:Head Armor: Bicycle helmet (not my motorcycle one, that disturbs my vision).Equipment on Body:First: Newspaper (just the papers) taped to my arms for some protection. Next, Layers of cardboard also taped over the papers for extra protection. This will be over a T-Shirt and Trousers and under the next layers.Trousers/Pants: One layer of sweat pants, second and third layer would be thick jeans. The cardboard and newspapers will be taped underneath these layers. The layers are to protect from bites and scratches. Shirt: A T-shirt underneath the papers and cardboard. Next, two long-sleeved shirts and a jean-jacket.Footwear: A layer of newspapers and some cardboard also taped (over the socks.) Then some strong/sturdy climbing boots.Primary: Civilian model hunting rifle (no, I don't hunt. It's just easier to get because it can be bought at a store). Secondary: 9mm pistol (I think that's also easier to get than other guns/weapons). The pistol can be a great life-saver. If a zombie has grabbed you, put the pistol to the temple of the zombie and squeeze the trigger. It'll blast it's brains out and kill it. Melee: If I can't get a trench spike than I would have a make-shift melee weapon such as...a large kitchen knife placed into the tip of a removed shovel-handle and it would be super-glued from the bottom of the hilt into the the tip. It would also be taped to keep it secure.Carried items:1: Crowbar (also a weapon, can be used to move things out of the way).2: A box of lock-picks (some might be just paper-clips, but it'll have to do). 3: A MedKit (scissors, bandages, alcohol for sterilizing a wound not from a bite, medications if needed, protein/vitamin pills if needed as last resort, stitches and some needles that won't be used more than once, e.t.c)4: Spare ammunition/magazines 5: Matches and a lighter, tinder[box], flint.6: Extra clothes (not in layers). 7. Rope8. More to be discovered yetMethod of Transportation: Motorcycle or bike. Preferably the motorcycle because it is faster, but it needs gas unlike the bicycle so more thought will be put into this.Food/Drink: 1. Whatever can be scavenged2. Long-lasting food3. Water (in bottles is probably the best).4. More details yet to come.Stronghold: Where I live. My team of zombie survivalists are nearby, and we've got an awesome team put together (we trust eachother, obviously). Sidekick: Trusted people, my team I created, any trustworthy survivors I encounter (not infected).Soundtrack: Dreamscape but not really any song do I have in mind. Final boss: Finding a cure/anti-venom. It is important because humanity has been hit heavily, so if another outbreak happens we'll be ready.Overview: So yeah, that's my outline/layout of my survival list. I tried to keep it realistic so that following this list can be viewed and done by an average person. I made it like this because it's not like as soon as you find out their are zombies, you have an AK-47 and a private army of zombie-slayers at hand right on the second. As you can see I don't have everything in detail and layed out, so more thought will be put in later. I hope you enjoyed this post, everything here was thought up of to resemble a make-shift last-second situation in a zombie outbreak/apocalypse.So that's my post and I hope you enjoyed it!

The plan also recommends the province consider an apprentice quota for public infrastructure projects, a step designed to produce new qualified journeymen by the time LNG projects are ready to break ground.
Such measures are essential if B.C. and Canada are to benefit fully from LNG projects, said business owner and District of Kitimat Councillor Phil Germuth.
He would like the province to offer more financial incentives, both to employers to hire apprentices and to students who sign up for apprenticeship programs.
"They need to put more incentives in," Mr. Germuth said, adding that he got government support when he was a young apprentice.
"I think a lot of the incentives and benefits have been taken away, for the employer and the worker too."
While the much-touted LNG projects have yet to materialize, Rio Tinto Alcan's smelter upgrade is providing a case study in what to expect.
The project formally kicked off in 2011 after more than a decade of discussions and will nearly double the capacity of the existing 60-year-old smelter.
Currently, about 1,000 Kitimat Modernization Project employees live in Kitimat or elsewhere in the region.
About 1,700 construction workers live in a trailer camp near the smelter site.
Later this month, as the construction labour force peaks, as many as 450 workers will begin moving onto the cruise ship.
The vessel is a necessary stop-gap measure, said Gaby Poirier, general manager of B.C. operations for Rio Tinto Alcan.
Brought in on a nine-month contract, with an option to extend for another three if required, the ship will allow Rio Tinto Alcan to provide the standard of housing that workers desire without putting more pressure on home prices or scarce rental accommodation.
"We took the responsible decision – to make sure we don't put [stress] on the city. That's why we did it," Mr. Poirier said.
Once the upgraded smelter is complete – scheduled for 2015 – it will employ about 1,000 workers, most of whom already live in Kitimat or nearby, so the housing crunch is expected to be short-term.
But other projects, with head counts of 1,500 and higher, could be around the corner.
Mr. Poirier, who worked at Alcan operations in Quebec before moving to Kitimat last year, said he is not too worried about losing KMP "operations" workers to competitors if the LNG boom materializes.
About 70 per cent of KMP employees are shareholders, enhancing employee stability, and Alcan ties run deep in the community.
Some people's work history with the company goes back four generations.
Mr. Poirier said his biggest priority is safety – unsurprising at a workplace that has its own railway, and where a passing "cruce," or crucible, filled with four tonnes of molten aluminum heated to more than 900 degrees, demands and gets the right of way.
But he is also attuned to hiring and retention, as shown by a March visit to the engineering faculty at the University of Victoria.
Mr. Poirier welcomed the chance to pitch training and employment opportunities in the north and, at the urging of B.C. Advanced Education Minister Amrit Virk, used his own experience as an example.
Married, with a young family, Mr. Poirier said he was drawn to Kitimat by the opportunity to oversee a world-class smelter but also by the recreational opportunities, civic infrastructure and spectacular landscape.
He plans to return for another visit to UVic in the fall with Mr. Virk.
Long-time physician Howard Mills would like to ensure that people have access to a doctor and health services if and when they arrive.
Dr. Mills, who moved to Kitimat in 1981, is the longest-serving general practitioner in the district, and also, with his wife, runs Minette Bay Lodge, a seven-room fishing camp.
Kitimat's 22-bed hospital is at capacity, and health services in Terrace are also under pressure, Dr. Mills said in a recent e-mail.
The region needs more nurses, midwives, occupational therapists and other health-care staff.
Three of four general practitioners in Kitimat have stopped seeing new patients, Dr. Mills said, and the only reason he sees new ones is that he worries if he does not, they will wind up at the emergency room, which is already overloaded.Report Typo/Error
