Team Overview
The season couldn't have started much worse for Triple-A Sacramento. Manager Steve Scarsone's new club opened 2013 with a 2-6 homestand, struggling on defense and in the bullpen.
But immediately following the rough beginning, the team ripped off six-straight wins. Sacramento is currently riding a 10-4 wave that has catapulted the team back into first place in the Pacific Southern Division with a 17-13 record.
Offensively, the team is right on track, combining for an 853 OPS with 38 home runs in just 30 games. The usual suspects have gotten off to solid starts, including Michael Taylor (996 OPS), Daric Barton (946), Shane Peterson (907) and Grant Green (863).
Some new faces such as Stephen Vogt and Michael Choice have become cemented in the middle of Scarsone's lineup and have done quite well. Since coming from Tampa Bay in a trade in early April, Vogt has hit .394 with six homeruns and 20 RBI, giving him an OPS of 1139.
Choice has been the team's top run producer out of the cleanup spot, notching a team-leading 26 RBI in the club's first 30 games. His .302/.420/.528 slash line is encouraging, especially since the club's top outfield prospect broke his hand last July with Double-A Midland.
Aside from Sonny Gray and Dan Straily (who was recently called up by Oakland), the River Cats have struggled in the starting pitching department. Andrew Werner, Justin Thomas, Bruce Billings and Travis Banwart have combined for a 7.21 in 18 starts.
With Straily's promotion, Gray has become the stopper atop the rotation, going 3-1 with a 2.61 ERA in five starts. The right-hander threw a complete-game in his most recent start, allowing just a run on four hits in Fresno.
The middle of the team's infield has featured two former first-round draft selections that have switched positions. Jemile Weeks has become the team's regular shortstop while Green continues to work on his glove work at second base.
"The more reps I get there the more comfortable I'm feeling," Green said about learning the nuances of second base. "Definitely feeling a lot better than I did at the beginning of the year. Still a work in progress."
Green, the former shortstop-turned-outfielder, has gotten all but one start at second base – he made one start at first base on April 7. Green has continued to progress at the plate, improving his walk rate and becoming more selective. He has fared better away from Raley Field, with a .347/.411/.571 slash line in road games.
This time last year Green had spent just his first month in the Triple-A level and was still getting used his new surroundings. Now, knowing what to expect, Green is looking to take his offensive game to the next level while continuing to develop as a second baseman.
"I was kind of bright-eyed," he said. "This time I'm able to understand the pitchers a little better. The cities. It's a little bit more comfortable."
Green still has a long way to go to become a major league-caliber second baseman, but said he's making the strides in his footwork and finds that toughest adjustment is the short throw to first. As a shortstop and outfielder, nearly all of Green's throws were long.
"That short one tends to get a little hectic sometimes so I'm definitely working on that as well," he said.
Hideki Okajima (0-1, 2.40 ERA) and Dan Otero (0-0, 0.00 ERA, seven saves) have highlighted and otherwise underwhelming relief corps that's combined for a 5.30 ERA in 107 innings.
Comings and Goings
Since Yoenis Cespedes ended his major league rehab on April 25, the River Cats have made 14 transactions. Adam Rosales ended his rehab from his intercostal injury and returned to Oakland April 26, sending Andy Parrino back to Triple-A.
Straily was recalled April 29 to take the place of injured starter Brett Anderson, who wound up pitching in relief in the team's wild 19-inning affair against the Angels. But that start put Anderson on the disabled list, forcing Straily into the rotation for the time being.
The A's demoted Jesse Chavez back to Oakland after the right-hander struggled in his three appearances, allowing seven hits and three earned runs in 4 1/3 innings. Since rejoining the River Cats, Chavez has pitched well in his two starts, yielding just four earned runs in 11.2 innings.
After Coco Crisp suffered a hamstring injury in the 19-inning game last week, the A's called up catcher Luke Montz, who hit a homer in the A's series-clinching game in New York on Sunday, his first in the big leagues since 2008 with the Nationals.
After that same game against the Angels, Chris Young was shelved with a quad injury, giving Taylor his second shot at the major leagues in the young season. Taylor had a 6-for-13 stretch going before getting called up.
SS Hiroyuki Nakajim began his rehab stint with Sacramento on Friday, going 2-for-4 in his first and only appearances. Nakajima experienced some discomfort in his injured left hamstring and was sent back to Oakland for further evaluation before he'll make any more rehab appearances.
Who's Hot
IF Scott Moore has caught fire in his last five games heading into Sunday, going 9-for-17 with his first two home runs of the season. Having split last season with the Houston Astros and Triple-A Oklahoma City, Moore came to the River Cats as one of the most experienced players on the roster and could be a player to watch if he maintains his recent production.
"At the beginning I think I was just trying to do too much," Moore said. "I just relaxed and kind of started taking what they were giving me. And it's worked out so far."
When Moore signed as a minor-league free agent, he considered the A's propensity to utilize minor league players, and thought the organization gave him the best opportunity to contribute on the major-league level.
"I gave that kind of stuff some thought, like, 'hey this could be a good place for me. They've used guys like me in the past.' Not just getting called up but actually using them," Moore said.
"We're winning, we're playing really well. If something crazy happens and I get that phone call, then great. But my focus is here."
Choice is having a very solid season to date, and has registered multi-hit games in his last three through Sunday, going seven for his last 12 and hitting two monster homeruns earlier in the week. Choice and Vogt both hold the team lead in homers with six.
Before going 0-for-4 on Sunday, Green had been hitting .355 in his previous 10 games, including a pair of home runs, giving him four on the season, which puts him on pace for more than 20 in a 144-game season in Triple-A.
"[Homeruns] are going to come," Green said. "When I start to grow into my body a little bit more – when I start to get the 'old-man strength' as I like to call it. It will definitely come. Four in the first month, I'm happy with that. I hit a couple balls hard that were caught. There's only so much you can control."

Bristol Palin's family is growing fast!
The 26-year-old daughter of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant with baby No. 3. Bristol and new husband Dakota Meyer, 28, are expecting their second child together, her rep told E! News Friday.
"We are so excited to announce that our family is expanding!" the couple told ET, which first reported the news. "God has blessed us so much; we are thankful for His grace and new beginnings. A springtime baby in the Meyer home and we can't wait!"
LaCroix Photography
Bristol and Meyer wed in June, more than five months after welcoming their daughter Sailor Grace, who will turn 1 this month. The couple has not revealed the sex of their new baby, who will also join big brother Tripp, Bristol's 7-year-old son with ex Levi Johnston.
Bristol and her husband, a U.S. Marine vet who received a 2009 Medal of Honor, have been through some relationship turmoil—they got engaged in 2015 after dating for about a year and called off their engagement two months after announcing it—and even a legal battle over Sailor.
Over the next few months, they appeared together with their daughter in social media pics. A week before they announced their marriage, her posted a photo of himself and Bristol getting close for a selfie, which showed her wearing a diamond ring on her ring finger.

"Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan…As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense…With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounded determination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph – so help us God." – President F.D.

In July of 1941, after Japan occupied the rest of Indo-China, FDR cut off all sales of oil to Japan, causing them to lose more than 95% of their oil supply.

He slumped forward in his chair unconscious and had to be carried to his room. His doctor, Dr. Howard Bruenn, diagnosed FDR with a massive stroke, and that day, at 3:35 p.m. Roosevelt passed away. The moment Roosevelt fought so hard for, V-E Day, came on May 8th, less than a month after his death.

Domestic politics are taking on a mid-Seventies hue: a Labour leader handing over to a colleague part way through a electoral term; a Labour administration weakened by an honours scandal... it could be Harold, Marcia and Sunny Jim all over again. On the other side of the House is a young, glamorous Tory leader (Maggie was something of a backbench pin-up) who has shaken up the party. Even union power is back; it may not be Grunwick, but only recently, the nation's travel plans were thrown into disarray as strikes loomed at BA. There is a sense of deja-vu about global issues, too. In the Seventies, we lived in fear of climate change, but rather than olive groves on the South Downs, it was global cooling and a new ice age that were going to change our way of life. Talking of cooling, if alarmists are right, we should be frightened of an increasingly powerful Russia. Yes, the Cold War is making a comeback, with natural resources taking the place of nuclear weapons. And the death of Litvinenko is an unsettling reminder of the Markov slaying.
Nor can we turn on our televisions to escape the Seventies. Once again, we have the comforting burr of Parkinson, the follicular fecundity of Bragg and Dr Who. If it is true that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, Life on Mars is a timely aide-memoire that despite mobile phones and MP3s, we seem stuck in the Seventies.

Townes Van Zandt: Flying Shoes 12"
Fat Possum Records
The final Townes Van Zandt studio record before a nine-year-long mid-'70s recording drought, Flyin' Shoes has the advantage of Van Zandt's usual stellar songs, a famed producer (Chips Moman) and a boatload of first-class sidemen, including Jimmy Day, Randy Scrugg, and Spooner Oldham. The production is reasonably spare, allowing the quality of the songwriting and Van Zandt's creaky voice to shine through. Stand out tracks include "Snake Song," "No Place to Fall," "When She Don't Need Me" and a rare cover of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love."Tags: country

Assad's Syria Offers $3,600 Rewards to Capture Foreign FightersDana El Baltaji
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government is offering rewards of 500,000 Syrian pounds ($3,600), for the capture of "non-Syrian terrorists," according to state-run television.
The government is also offering rewards of 200,000 Syrian pounds for helping to capture them, al-Ikhbariya TV reported today. Assad has repeatedly accused foreign powers of instigating an uprising against him and financing the opposition.
The reward may tempt some Syrians who are coping with an economy that shrank 28 percent in 2012 and 37 percent at an annualized rate in the first half of 2013, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. The Syrian pound, which traded at about 47 pounds to the dollar before the war, is now 139 pounds per dollar, according to central bank data.
The Syrian civil war has killed more than 100,000 people since it began in 2011, according to estimates adopted by the United Nations. The war has resulted in losses of almost $50 billion to gross domestic product since 2010, the EIU said in a report this week.

Haha, you know... I was just searching my school's website for a student-teacher dating policy (I figured "dating" wasn't the word they'd use, so I was searching variations of "student teacher relationship") and... I've yet to find one (maybe our school doesn't have a policy??) but it sure looked like they were telling me to go for it. Every mention of "relationship" was something like "...encourage faculty to built strong relationships with the community..." or "...allowing students and instructors to form close, supportive relationships..."
Well, I thought is was funny
Seriously, though, I can see how there are differences... mainly, if there're two relationships going on, "student/teacher" and "child/parent" are fairly compatible... the obligations from each relationship might be tugging in different directions, but I don't think they'd really be "conflicting". In both cases, the teacher/parent does what's right/in the best interest of the student/child, and the student/child deals with it.
When it's a romantic relationship, it's supposed to be two peers on even ground. Sometimes you have to respect what your partner chooses, even if you think it's the wrong choice. That's where a "conflict of interests" comes in- as a teacher, you have the authority and the responsibility to overrule your student if necessary; as a partner, you can talk it through but ultimately your partner decides. If the line between being "the teacher" and being "the partner" gets blurred, even a little, it could be a huge problem.
In the same way, as a student, I respect and defer to my teachers(& other faculty at my school)... if that ever spilled over, even a little, into a partnership, I wouldn't be advocating for myself the way I need to.
(Let's just pause here for a minute... I'd like a cookie, and if that sounded "very mature" and "maybe you really have thought this through" I'd love to hear some encouragement.
Okay, moving on now.)
Like BP said, there are usually official channels to go through to have relationships acknowledged so that A could protect himself HOWEVER he is already married, so more than likely the college isn't going to accept it since it would not just be a student-teacher relationship, it would be an extramarital one (which, let's face it, most people are going to label an affair even if it isn't).
Yes, I expect they will. Which is one reason I'm glad to be on a poly forum where I can share the whole story...
What do we do about this? If we start a relationship, and if we decide we want to go about it "the right way" by informing the college... how should we react to the poly-hurdle?
I don't know how this works... do they give "special permission" to allow the relationship, or is it already our right to pursue a relationship, and informing the college is the proper way to cover our bums?
If they don't have veto power to begin with, I can't imagine them having veto power because it's extramarital. I can imagine them doing everything they could to stand in our way, but in theory we would have the upper hand, right?
I also understand your desire to push through with it no matter what if A and/or E make a move, but you have to wonder if A is thinking clearly. If you are willing to rush into something saying "screw the consequences!" why wouldn't they? Crazy NRE sweeps everyone, so while he may be willing to risk professional credit right now, is he going to feel the same way in a year? Two years? Do you want to risk him having serious consequences to be with you and then regret it? You've got the right idea about talking, talking, and talking some more to make sure you're on the same page, but I just wanted to throw the possibility of him regretting it (not necessarily regretting YOU, but regretting impetuous action on a relationship with you) out there. Is that a hurt you are willing to risk?
I got happy, just thinking about being wanted so much that A's not thinking clearly. *giggle*
Right! Serious issue to deal with here. Right.
No, I don't want that to happen. I don't want to be the cause of that, I don't want it to happen, I don't even want to risk it. I
to do this the right way. I believe that we have every right to pursue this relationship, and I'm willing to jump through whatever hoops are necessary to have it recognized as such. Of course, if A & E want any sense of privacy, that'll limit the options some, but I'll let them reign me in when we talk this through.
I guess the problem comes when we have to compromise... between privacy and advocacy, between doing the accepted thing and doing what we want, between the practical thing and the right thing... possibly between doing what I want, and what A wants, and what E wants, although hopefully we'll be close to the same page...
I don't know, I don't know where I'd draw the line. On any of it. But I swear up and down that I'm trying to figure it out, that I won't just throw the consequences out the window.
Another think you may want to make sure they are aware of is you inexperience in dating as an adult. The less experience you have in serious, adult relationships the more likely you are to make mistakes. This isn't a bad thing, it's just the way it is. Experience brings the ability to cope with things more effectively. Luckily, you are reading up so you should avoid some of the mistakes or at least be able to handle them a bit easier!
It's actually nice that you pointed this out... I'm very much buried in how young and inexperienced and naive (well, maybe not so much that, lol) I am... but you're right, it's not a bad thing. It's just another thing, another thing to think about and talk about and remember.
There are a lot of issues here that you need to figure out for yourself, let them figure out for themselves, and then talk about and all of you figure out together! I wish you luck... I don't envy your position.
Definitely are.
I'm not so upset with my position, though... I think it'll work out. I'm still waiting for some... sign... the "things are escalating" was short-lived, everything dropped off and I'm suddenly confused. Of course, my mind is going a mile a minute with all this stuff to think through, so it feels like "forever" but I guess it's only been a couple days since the last borderline-flirting.
is the more frustrating part right now- still not knowing if this is all in my head. I know all this other stuff is important... but it's not such a big deal, if someones love me
All this advice is definitely part of the process, but in the end I'm sure we'll figure it out.

After months of sobriety in Italian politics since Silvio Berlusconi stepped down as prime minister, it's back to business as usual as three porn stars battle it out in mayoral contests.
Luana Borgia, Milly D'Abbraccio and Amandha Fox have all declared they have what it takes to become mayor in cities in the south of Italy. Ms Fox and Ms Borgia have set their sights on Taranto, and Ms D'Abbraccio is hoping to take Torre del Greco.
Yesterday evening, it was announced that Ms Fox had beaten Ms Borgia in an online poll to become candidate for the Taranto Awake party.
Ms Fox, who is Polish by birth, immediately announced her plans to clean up the notoriously polluted city by booting out heavy industry and transforming it into a Puglian version of Atlantic City.
Ms Fox told journalists that if she became mayor, she would develop tourism by building casinos with attached hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, as well as creating an internationally known event to be named "Taranto Sex", which would take place twice a year.
Observers suggested, however, that her success in beating Ms Borgia for the candidature was more likely due to her performance in last month's public pole-dancing competition between the two rivals, which replaced the more usual political debate.
Given that only a few hundred people voted in Taranto Awake's online poll, the blushes of the city's more conservative citizens are likely to be spared at the election.
But all three can look to the success of Hungarian-born porn star La Cicciolina, who became an Italian MP in 1987.
La Cicciolina, born Ilona Staller, is the former wife of artist Jeff Koons. She distinguished herself during her five-year term in office by proposing the creation of "love parks" and by offering to have sex with Saddam Hussein to avoid war between Iraq and the US.

Suitable students
Last week we ranked universities according to how many students they have from working-class families. Eight out of the bottom 10 institutions were from the Russell Group, and Oxford and Cambridge were bottom of the table.
You simply can't give offers to people who don't apply; you also can't give offers to students who aren't studying the right subjects. We get endless inquiries from students about admissions to our science courses with combinations of A-levels that are not suitable, when all our requirements are posted clearly on our website for everyone, including teachers, to see. We've tried the experiment of taking students with non-traditional subjects or lower A-level grades and it was, for the most part, a dismal failure: they simply couldn't cope with the material we were teaching, even with endless remedial classes and tutorial support.
AdamTut via EducationGuardian.co.uk
• If students don't study the "right" subjects at school, including at GCSE (which opens the way for A-levels), then they will not be considered for certain subjects by the most selective institutions. It's also not surprising that languages are becoming the preserve of the better off, a trend that we will see increasing as the effects of the last government's decision not to require a modern foriegn language to be studied at GCSE start to come through.
andyjack via EducationGuardian.co.uk
• It is no coincidence that two of your three case studies went to a college before applying to university. Yet there was no mention of the role of colleges in widening HE participation in your article. Over half the total number of A-level students attend a college rather than a school and a much higher percentage of these are of working-class backgrounds. Yet only 60 students were admitted to Cambridge from colleges in 2009 (and 10% of these were from York College). The answer to increasing applications from a wider range of students to the "bottom 10" universities is simple. Just work with colleges to increase successful applications and the job is done.

Qualified to teach
In your article on whether free schools can employ unqualified teachers (A question of status, 28 September) I was struck by Andrew Snowdon's cheerful assumption that he and his wife would automatically find employment – indeed, specific posts – at the free school they are attempting to set up. The same thread runs through the bid (one of the successful 16) for an establishment in Bedford, where the project leader specifies that he does not want to be a trustee because he intends to work at the school, and asserts that "we have a core team of outstanding teachers", with the implication that they will be appointed to the staff. No acknowledgement is made of the normal requirement relating to publicly funded posts in schools, of public advertisement and equal opportunities appointment procedures.
Another Bedford-based project, the Destiny Christian school, claims that it will appoint staff who "share our vision" (a "Christ centred curriculum"), which raises the possibility of religious discrimination in the appointments procedure.
I could find no mention of appointment of staff in the academies bill hastily cobbled together and rushed through parliament in June. What has Gove's DfE been telling these people that has not been shared with the rest of us?
Charles Baily, Bedford
• Your article reveals the DfE's doublethink on teaching standards. One minute ministers want teachers to have 2.2 degrees as a minimum, the next the DfE is considering unqualified teachers for free schools.
If teachers in academies and other publicly funded schools have qualified teacher status, why not in free schools? Was the slogan "Those who can, teach" supposed to mean that just anybody could?
The education secretary has said that he favours "traditional" values: "strict discipline, academic subjects rigorously taught and not some of the wild and wacky theorems that have distracted some of our schools from delivering on the basics". Employing unqualified teachers for publicly funded schools surely qualifies as "wild and wacky". What next – unqualified doctors, unqualified lawyers…?
Philip Parkin
General secretary, Voice, Derby
• This is exactly what happened in Swedish free schools. Statistics show that free schools have a lower percentage of qualified staff – it makes them cheaper to run and gives bigger profits to the owners. It is ironic that Sweden is adopting UK policy while the UK is going in the other direction. In Sweden, legislation is under way to create a teacher registration agency; and restrict permanent teaching positions to qualified teachers only for all schools that receive public funding.
puffinlunde via EducationGuardian.co.uk
• If possession of a first, a 2:1 or a 2:2 honours degree doesn't necessarily guarantee that the owner is a good teacher, neither, alas, does possession of a teaching qualification. Rigorous external inspection of schools is the only solution to the problem of poor teaching and if that doesn't apply to "free" schools, it is one more reason for opposing them.

Small park. Friendly staff. Picnic tables falling down but lots were not crowded. Close to I-10 so traffic noise. Clean restrooms/showers. - Sygarner

This park is clean at the office area, but there is a junk appliance place right in front of it. Park is NOT secure; anyone can come in or out at any time. It is right next to an interstate exit, and you hear trucks all night! Bathrooms were never unlocked. We were in a pop up camper and were never told there was no bathroom access. We were in town for a softball tournament and no shower was NOT acceptable. We checked in on Fri. afternoon, and left on Sat. morning early because of this. It's been 2 months, and we cannot get these people to answer the phone or return my calls. We paid for 2 nights and cannot get a refund of the 2nd night. Some of the campers there are actually people who live there. You could tell the campers had not been moved in years! I do not recommend anyone staying at this place. They need to be shut down! - BamaGirl2

Not worth the money. The park is an okay place to spend the night. Asked for a satellite friendly site and was assigned a space directly under a large tree. Had to exit the park and come back in to get to a new site. Park has several fire ant mounds close to sites. Use caution when connecting utilities! All sites have level concrete pads. Many, many signs warning to not drive or park on grass. - davedopp

Stayed over night in a 42' 5er. Pretty tight in and out. Small sign at entrance. Older park with mostly seasonals. Small park, no where to run dogs. Manager, straight forward, no nonsense. Wife uneasy with location. Very quiet at night. Small sign on door to pick a site and pay later if no one at office. - On the way

We have stayed many times; this is our favorite RV park on the Gulf coast. We always stay in a pull-thru with our HDT and 45 foot 5th wheel. This park hosts a lot of snowbirds that return yearly and some full time residents. Maneuvering can be a little tight when the park is full but everyone has always been friendly and helpful as needed. The management and staff have always been very accommodating and helpful. The interior roads and sites are paved. The entrance can be a little hard to find the first time. The park has a pool, clubhouse, playground and a nice little store with a propane fill station. There are a number of mature live oaks with spanish moss making for a beautiful setting. The park is surprisingly quiet at night given the major roads nearby. A Winn Dixie grocery store is a short walk as are some restaurants. - Behemoth

Arrived before office should have closed and she had left for the night because a storm was coming. It was just a small shower. Site was left dirty. I stepped out of motor home into someone's garbage (pizza crust, etc.) Site had a full sewer which we found out after we started to dump. Office unconcerned and had to deal with a mess in our previously clean compartment and on us before we could leave. Very little maneuvering room for bigger rigs. We barely made it and we are experienced drivers. New drivers wouldn't have made it. We will find another place to stay when we are in area again. - queenbee61

Campground owner is very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Location is convenient is close to shopping, beach, casinos, etc. Utilities were vey good. WiFi spotty.

Park is well lite, very few trees. Sites are staggered which makes it nice because the trailers are not right on top of each other. This park is on City Water which is wonderful!! I noticed a few bugs in the Shower/Restroom area. Mentioned it to the manager and the area was sprayed the next day. Bugs "all gone". - Tiffany Ladd
Oct 2015 - $30.00
We stayed here during The Cruise on the Gulf car show. The check in people and the person who showed us to our spot couldn't do enough for us.
The park is 3/4 mobile homes and trailers that need some fixing, we only met the woman across from the clubhouse while we were there and she was very nice to us even though we were just there for a few days, probably would not go back unless there was a lot of other RVers there also. This is due to the fact that we didn't feel 100% safe. Daily rate reflects no discount due to an event in town.
Cleanliness got satisfactory rating only because we didn't see any trash laying around, probably because the owners/employees try to keep the park clean. - 210george

We stayed at this park for one night when we had the need for an unexpected stay due to a warranty repair on our tow vehicle. It served that purpose well. Check in was friendly. I agree with several other reviewers. The concrete pads are somewhat cracked and the site does have drainage issues, evidenced by standing water on the roadways. The sites themselves are elevated above the roads, so I did not see the problem with them. The park is very near Interstate 10, so the noise is constant. However, with a fan or air conditioner running, I would consider it "white noise" which sort of fades into the background. I might consider staying here again if need be. My impression on staying in the immediate Gulfport or Biloxi is that you stay near the interstate or near the railroad tracks at the private RV parks. - one_strange_texan

I do not understand the bad reviews. We have stayed here several times over the past 5 years and loved the space, views, cleanliness, and the location. We felt safe in this park and at night it was quiet. The rules are in place to respect our neighbors when camping and it is nice when the park enforces them because some people can become unruly. This park I heard has just been sold and I hope that most of the way it is remains the same. The park is also close to the downtown area and it is also about 150 feet from the Gulf with an open view. The only drawback is the train about 3 blocks away but if you are close to the beach you will hear it at all the campgrounds in that area. It is easy to navigate in the park unless it is full but no different than most parks. - Byron M
May 2016 - $55.00
The park is barren and covered in large, 3/4 inch loose gravel/rock which is difficult to walk on. The only shade is minimal and on the edges of the property. The site pads are not defined and there is not a table or anything else except the pillar you hook up to. When we called to make the reservation the lady was nice and said that the beach was only about 90 feet away from the park, it was more like 900 feet. The park is separated from ocean by an overgrown lot and a 4 lane divided major road. The sidewalk to get there is in disrepair and not continuous. The view of the ocean at the beach is dominated by the industrial shipping dock and the large visible pipe with a warning sign on it. The park office is tiny, maybe 6x8 feet and also contains a few shelves that make up the "store." The staff reception was cold and rude. Once at the park you get the full set of rules, after you pay the nonrefundable fee, of course. They are militant about the rules and come to enforce them even when you are following them. The pool is a joke, it is more like a large spa. The first rule is to bath/rinse off before getting in but the shower was not working and they closed it well before the 9pm closing time posted. They also closed the pool because of nonexistent bad weather, claimed a weather alert. According to 3 different weather apps the closest lighting strike was 309 MILES away and there were no active weather alerts at the time. Apparently jumping into a pool is now the same as diving since rules are being made up at the whims of whoever is in charge. You aren't allowed to hang your towels or swimsuits outside to dry which is ridiculous since you are at the beach. They advertise as a family friendly place but it is obvious that they don't like kids and make it feel extremely unfriendly. It was so bad we left a day early even though we paid for that day. It is a shame since we have always thought Mississippi was such a warm, friendly place. - linda f

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good wifi, good cable, very pet friendly.
We could see the Gulf of Mexico from our RV. A short walk along sidewalk to the beach front. Large stone gravel sites, quite small, no picnic tables, just enough room to park tow vehicle. Common fire pit which seemed to be used most evenings. Landscaping around office area only. There were a few full timers and work campers on site 24/7.
good location to beach, close to casino and few restaurants. - Live Life

Excellent campground that is convenient to beaches, boating, casinos, and more! The campground is well maintained and clean. The WIFI was a pleasent experience, because it acutally worked all the time. Did not experience the normal slow WIFI, normally found in RV Parks that advertise WIFI. There are actually two campgrounds at Shields RV Park, both by the same name. The main campground is near the entrance to the base! It has FHUs, WIFI, and Cable TV. The second campground is on the far western side of the base, near the golf gourse and lake. It has FHUs; however, it doesn't have WIFI or Cable TV. This one is has a few trees, more grass and appears to be quieter than the main campground. Will gladly stay here again! - Navretiree

Very large concert pads on a pull through site. The only negative is there's no shade. Easy to get on and off base. Very strong free WiFi. Nicest military park I've been to. - Nevadadon
Apr 2016 - $15.00
The campground just opened a new section back by SeaBee Lake and this review concerns this new section. All sites are back ins and even though the concrete pad is the same size as those in the main campground (the main campground has large spaces for vehicle parking), the sites are considerably shorter. Units are not allowed to stick out over the grass so there is little room to park a vehicle unless you have a short rig. A couple of long term campers with big rigs moved out to this section and their vehicles were either parked on an unoccupied site or sticking out in the road. The road is narrow and some of the sites will be difficult to back into messing up the nice pretty new grass. There is a bathhouse/laundry in this section with a nearby play ground and dog park. SeaBee lake is a short walk. The office will remain at the main campground near the front gate. In my opinion, big rigs would be better at the main campground as the new section is not really big rig friendly. - roadking

Park looks real nice but the issues are endless. Breaker boxes not properly working; we had to plug in next to us due to the breaker box at our site blew the breaker and sent a surge through our motorhome!!! We reported it to maintenance, management with no response which is unacceptable. If they dont care about the guest camper what else do they not take care of?! The pool wasn't open when we first arrived. Finally in July it opened only to not be taken care of. Present state the pool is green!! No laundromat! ! New washers and dryers but not in use which probably goes back to the electrical problems. Trying to talk to the manager is like pulling teeth!! She has no personality nor will she speak to you as she goes by. No one staying there is friendly. I have never stayed anywhere that when u wave they ignore you!! A few long term residents and unfriendly. I would have to say this is the most unfriendly place I have been in a long time!! We stayed a couple months and the changes they promised never happened! !

We are spending a month here. We stayed here when the original owners had the park and came back shortly after Katrina to find the park had really declined with the new owners. We decided to try again this year and are pleased. It appears the new management is trying to clean up the appearance. They are on top of all maintenance issues and respond to all problems in a polite, professional, and efficient manner. The laundry room is clean and well maintained. They work to keep the park safe, monitoring the traffic. They still have a few work trucks and poorly maintained campers, but appear to be cleaning that up and upgrading. We believe they are back on the path to being a premier destination park in the future. - Gloriasue99

Neat as a pin. Keesler Famcamp was very clean, well manicured, and well maintained. The roads are paved as well as the pads. The roads are very tight but the sites are satisfactory size. The skinny roads makes getting in the site a little difficult because of cars/trucks parked in front/in back of other RV's and telephone poles. Once in the site, it's pretty roomy. Sites are somewhat close together but certainly not uncomfortable. The sites aren't overly long but long enough. We were on site 48 and that section has not been wired for cable. Cell (Verizon) service was fine. WiFi was there and sometimes it was great - other times it would go in and out. Good water pressure. There are only a few trees. Most sites are open and sunny with about 4 or 5 sites with shade. We loved the area - Biloxi/Gulfport. It was very refreshing to see a beach without buildings/condos/hotels, etc. The beach was open, clean, usable and beautiful. The town has everything you need or want and traffic wasn't bad at all. - jomark

I appreciate the quick replies. It was jamming on both mags. At first I thought it was just one so I marked it by placing a piece of tape on the bottom of it. Turns out its doing it on both. I was obviously loading the mags all the way up, but even when it got down to just a few rounds it would still jam. I did not try the pinky under the mag trick though. My brother shot it and he is pretty new just as I am, but he said he thought the mag didnt feel very sturdy in there, so I dont know, maybe thats it. I will check the play in the mags and also check out that video right now, and see what I can find. The gun was pretty clean when I got it from the shop because I took it apart and checked it out. After shooting it today it was pretty filthy, so I pulled it apart and cleaned and lubed everything properly, but probably wont get to shoot it again to try it for another couple of days. I was using Winchester 230gr FMJ in it for the range today and was planning on using them as well for my class, while maybe switching to something else for actual carry.
I'm reading all over the place that the frame cracking problem was only with the earlier models and that the newer ones haven't had it at all.

DD...might wanna drop the rounds down to the 168 gr fmj...230 might be a bit hot for that gun...
The only thing I've fired from mine has been 230-grain in several different brands and flavors. It's flawless now with one mag and terrible with the other. I just did the snip on the bad one and it already feels better, so we'll see.
"I practice the ancient art of Klik Pao."
Just checked out the Youtube vids...I suddenly feel alot better about the gun in general. I am going to try to get both those little mods done in the next day or two and take it out again. I am thinking the "nosediving" is the issue I was mainly having but I'm going to go ahead and do both fixes anyhow and hopefully that will take care of all my issues. My buddy used to carry a PT140 and never had any issues with it at all, so hopefully I will be so lucky after this. I may also change out the sights eventually. I appreciate all the help with this issue guys. I always heard good things about this particular line of Taurus guns from people I know, but I did hear some guy at the range today and an employee badmouthing the guns, to each his or her own I guess, with the loading issue taken care of I would personally be very happy with it so far.
They're shipped "dirty." I realize you bought yours used, but when they ship the new ones from the plant in Brazil, they're just filled with crud. Mine had a couple of lines of white grease (shipping grease?) along the slide. I've heard stories of some where the trigger mechanism was so gunked up that it could barely strike the primer hard enough to ignite. These aren't flaws, but they're also not something that a new owner would expect. My XD 45 Compact, for example, was flawless out of the box with no cleaning or oiling before I fired it.
The magazines are hit or miss. Some are right and some, like my "bad" one, are WAY too tight. I seriously wonder if someone might have actually put the wrong spring in mine. I recently bought a new factory mag and it feels right, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I haven't yet been able to rack the slide with 10 rounds in the mag. Seriously. I have to lock the slide back, insert the mag, then release the slide. But according to some folks, that's the proper way to do it in the first place (not inviting any debates here).
But I agree; I feel a LOT better about it than when I first got it. In fact, I've carried it a few times now and it seems to keep getting better.
"I practice the ancient art of Klik Pao."
About time i hear about the pt145 pro on this site, i have had one for about 1 year and simply love this gun.. no issues at all, no FTF'S, no jamming, nothing. This is my primary CCW.. Seems like alot of negitive issues about Tauras, once again not with me. Enjoy!
I had one a few years ago, had lots of failure to feed problems as well the trigger was awful. I thought it would be a great carry but I never could get my confidence level in it high enough to carry.
I like my 2nd generation DAO version...which now sits on my night stand for home defense.
It does not like hard primers, e.g., cheap Winchester white box. The carry ammo it likes, and makes sense out of this short barrel, is the 160 grain Corbon DPX. Good penetration and reliable expansion. Accuracy? Good enough for it's intended purpose: Short range self defense:
It all comes down to going down the dark holes after monsters. Thats what its all about; when everyone else is huddled around the campfire, somebody has to go out and fight.
Finally got a day off of work and after doing everything else I had to do and hanging out with my son and wife all day I got a few minutes to modify the spring in the magazines for my pt145, havent gotten to go shoot it yet but will hopefully sunday morning, I am really hoping it takes care of my jamming issue. Thanks for all the advise and feedback guys, helped out tremendously.
However, I made a discovery that is totally blowing my mind.
Read on....
My Post on TaurusArmet.net
"I practice the ancient art of Klik Pao."
To the OP and anyone else that is interested. I got mine used and it was DIRTY. I fired some through it and I had one FTE or Failure To Eject and it was gritty when you pulled the slide. I cleaned it with some stinky Hoppes and it felt better. I then got some Gunzilla and it has been flawless and silky smooth!!! This stuff is magic. I have yet to find something better. It's like all of the products were deficient in someway and now I have found the perfect product.
Clean, clean clean. Your life depends on it. Use compressed air from a can or a compressor and blow out the firing pin /spring area after soaking the area with Gunzilla fo a few minutes. Big difference.
Here is an artsy-fartsy pic of mine!

Willie Mays
Willie Mays
The Life, the Legend
Scribner Book Company, Paperback, 9781416547914, 640pp.
Publication Date: March 1, 2011
Willie Mays is arguably the greatest player in baseball history, still revered for the passion he brought to the game. He began as a teenager in the Negro Leagues, became a cult hero in New York, and was the headliner in Major League Baseball's bold expansion to California. He was a blend of power, speed, and stylistic bravado that enraptured fans for more than two decades. Now James Hirsch reveals the man behind the player.
Mays was a transcendent figure who received standing ovations in enemy stadiums and who, during the turbulent civil rights era, urged understanding and reconciliation. More than his records, his legacy is defined by the pure joy that he brought to fans and the loving memories that have been passed to future generations so they might know the magic and beauty of the game. With meticulous research and drawing on interviews with Mays himself as well as with close friends, family, and teammates, Hirsch presents a brilliant portrait of one of America's most significant cultural icons.
"Willie Mays had everything--except a first-rate biography. That omission has now been addressed by James S. Hirsch, who has produced a piece of artistry worhty of Mays in center field."--Bloomberg.com
"James Hirsch has written an enormously entertaining and wide-ranging biography--a fitting tribute to Mays . . . and a thoughtful account of the complex and often misunderstood man. . . . True baseball fans will delight in the author's edge-of-seat game reports and picture-perfect descriptions of Mays' superlative talents. . . This is a superb baseball book, but it's also a riveting narrative of Mays' life and times."--Seattle Times
"A terrific new biography . . . [an] always engaging and enlightening book . . . A wonderful introduction to the magical life of one of the finest athletes ever."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Hirsch has produced a masterful biography that has the same freshness and excitement that Mays generated as a player. All the highlights are there in shining, solid detail. It's a must-read for any baseball fan."--Tampa Bay Online
"James S. Hirsch compellingly recounts Mays' career . . . giving even Mays' iconic moments, such as 'The Catch' in the 1954 World Series, a sense of tension as if they were unfolding anew. . . . Great baseball reading, by an accomplished writer . . . about a wondrous ballplayer and man with gifts beyond the diamond."--Associated Press
"The book, documenting Mays' rise from Negro leagues star to major league icon, also serves as a history lesson."--USA Today
"Tautly written . . . Mr. Hirsch captures Willie's greatness on the field."--Wall Street Journal
"Does a better job than any book before of getting at what it means to be Willie Mays."—Sports Illustrated

A poem about loss, anger, healing, never shared before.
Written back on the 1st anniversary of the September 11, 2001 WTC disaster:
Remembrance in New York
Twin Towers of light
in wistful white
shine up against the shrouds
of twilight clouds.
Twin Towers of light
stab the night,
Tears blur my eyes
I search the skies.
Twin Towers of light
unveil this sight,
lost faces from the past
At peace at last.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Peace be with you,

In the clip fast-paced shooting can be seen, probably from a multiple rocket launcher. It is clear in the video that the launching spot is surrounded by civilian structures, which could further tarnish the group's global image.

- Hamas: Israel getting back at us over Qatar ruler's visit
Terror groups in the Gaza Strip have been known to shoot out of populated areas so as to stop the IDF from retaliating in a manner that may target innocent citizens. But while they often release videos of the rocket fire, the groups seldom document shooting from populated areas. Whenever they do, they usually blur the surroundings so that Israel cannot use it against them.
Some 20 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip toward Israel overnight Sunday, after the IDF attacked terror hubs in the Strip. A few air raid sirens sounded on Monday morning, but the IDF said that they were false and that the final rocket was launched at 6 am.
The rockets exploded in open areas, with no injuries reported. Hamas' military wing claimed they were launched "in response to continued Israeli attacks."
According to Palestinian reports, the IAF scattered notices Monday in the south of the Gaza Strip, warning citizens that terrorists were using populated areas to protect themselves from IDF strikes, thereby endangering the lives of citizens and their children.

Metasonix Have Made an Immoral Drum Machine from Vacuum Tubes
Drum machines. They're predictable. So much so that the biggest controversy about Roland's high-profile entry into the market with AIRA was whether they should remake the 808/909 or remake the 808/909 as analog. Enter Metasonix. They would like to make the differentiation point of drum machines whether you still have your ass or not once you've heard them. And so, we see the D-2000, the long-awaited (long-dreaded?) successor to the D-1000, but, say Metasonix, more extreme. ("Tweaked," "maximized," and "pushed.") How would you describe the sound? Absolutely terrible. (You know, nicely horrible. I mean, probably not in a way most …
