text: Canterbury Camping and Caravanning Club Site (121 reviews) from £6.30 to £10.65 Per person/night Contact Us Book It Images Map Select Section Overview A great campsite to explore Canterbury, with a bus stop outside the site entrance. City, coast and countryside – you can take your pick if you're basing yourself at our Canterbury Club campsite. Although a popular stopover for those travelling to or from France, this campsite offers the ideal base for exploring Kent's coast and country. The campsite lies a couple of miles south of the city – within walking distance (or hire a bike on site). The not so energetic can catch a bus from outside the campsite. The well laid out campsite offers a mix of level grass and hardstand pitches. There are newly refurbished toilet and shower facilities, a washing up area, children's play area and good dog walking. Off site Canterbury is a city packed with history, heritage and culture. It has a stunning cathedral and the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church and castle. It also has an eclectic mix of specialist shops, independent retailers, bars and restaurants. Head to the coast for Whitstable with its trendy harbour and July Oyster Festival. The more traditional Herne-Bay has two miles of seafront adorned with colourful beach huts and a pier. The quaint Victorian town of Broadstairs with its Punch and Judy shows and donkey rides is a contrast to the more cosmopolitan habour side Ramsgate noted for its pavement cafes and waterside bars. Access and SatNav Advice Do not use site postcode with satnav due to narrow approach lanes, use postcode CT1 1TW. Follow Canterbury ring road to get to site. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora or fauna. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices.

Great site, great location (Club Member) stayed Aug 2014 This review is for Canterbury The staff could not be more helpful. We had some problems with our caravan both our on arrival and departure. On each occasion a staff member used his knowledge and assistance to resolve the issues. Easy to get into Canterbury which has lots of attractions. Dover Castle may seem expensive but is worth every penny. You need a whole day to see it all. A walk along the White Cliffs of Dover to the lighthouse, try the tearoom, and back is great with views of the Channel and France on a clear day.

Grace (Club Member) stayed Sep 2014 This review is for Canterbury Pleasant site, trees, wildlife, family atmosphere. We had stated when booking we had a caravan and day tent but there was no room on the original hardstanding pitch offered to us on arrival for the tent to go up. A staff member kindly found us an alternative grass pitch that took both. We were told on arrival that there was a group of 80 children staying and imagined younger ones, perhaps scouts or something. Unfortunately it was a group of teenagers who did excessively loud organised activities until 11 pm nightly, often involving chanting or singing, everyone screaming and running about etc. They were a bit rowdy round the shower block and looked over the door at my son washing. We weren't holidaying, we were spending a week there whilst working on our house prior to moving out, so did not bother complaining. It would have spoiled a vacation and I think one should be warned before booking about extremely large noisy groups attending. Certainly loud organised activities should stop MUCH earlier as people may want to sleep. Otherwise I would recommend this site and staff.

Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.

Every Wednesday night, a small crowd gathers on northeast end of Lake Owasso. On Wednesday, 23-year-old Christy Kierstead is one of the first to get in the water.
Kierstead arrived to the lake in her wheelchair and would never be able to water ski if it were not for the Courage Center and group of volunteers assisting on Wednesday nights. Through the program anyone -- regardless of their disability -- can learn to ski.
"For us to come here it's the only place we can do this," says Marvin Haara. "My kids they just love it -- our daughter screams and hollers."
Haara and his family drive 60 miles from Hutchinson. He hopes someday the Courage Center will be able to expand to other lakes.
"We don't mind driving as long as it's such a pleasure to them."
Coordinating this program is impressive to watch. Kristi Younquest from the Courage Center organizes dozens of volunteers who include people standing in the water helping skiers launch, volunteers who brought their boats to pull the skiers and also help spot them, plus so called "jumpers" ready to jump in a help a skier should they take a spill.
"Until I wiped out, and then I was like, end the speed," says Kierstead. Her smile got even bigger after she fell into the water.
Steve Gallop is one of many volunteers who live on Lake Owasso and continue to help year after year. He used to be an official with the national ski association and started helping kids from the Courage Center learn to ski 30 years ago when the program launched.
"It's just fun. It's a riot," says Gallop. "The looks on their faces, it's just some way to me giving back to water skiing."

Cheerleading: Most Dangerous Sport for Girls
My two girls are gearing up for their second cheerleading competition, and I am a proud mama that they are both loving it so much and enjoy moving their bodies for fitness. But lately, I've become worried -- because cheerleading is now the number-one "serious injury" sport for girls. Yikes!

Disadvantages of Pet Store Puppies
Unfavorable behavior compared to other puppies

Nice to see a study that shows the detrimental side of buying a pet store puppy. I am fortunate enough to have a dog who does not seem to have any detrimental behavior (he was rescued by a woman from a hideous pet store with his sister and a cat - all three had fleas and were in bad shape), but I also have seen what it does to puppy mill mothers. I have two former breedings dogs. Both from puppy mills. Let us hope the word continues to get out.

Serbia clinched their place in next year's EuroBasket Women with a 97-58 victory over Estonia on Saturday.
The Blues improved to 6-2 with the victory - the same record as Montenegro and Poland in Group B.
Montenegro finished first and Serbia second ahead of Poland by using a goal differential tie-breaker, taking into account the games between the three teams.
Serbia moved into a strong position in their previous game when they won a thriller against the Poles, 67-62.
That result left them only needing to win against Estonia, a side that hadn't tasted victory in seven previous Qualification Round games.
Estonia led briefly at the start of the contest, but Serbia turned on the style and outscored them 30-15 in the opening frame and never turned back.
Milica Dabovic had six of her 21 points in the first period for Serbia.
Veteran power forward/center Jelena Maksimovic also scored 21 in the contest for the winners.

I was reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan the other day, since we are going through it in our church's home Bible studies, and I came across this quote from Martin Luther:
"There are two days in my calendar:
This day and that Day."
This day and that Day."
I absolutely loved this quote! And I kept thinking of it for days afterwards. It also had a good effect on my work habits!
This Day
We need to think about this day because that is the time God has given us right now to use. So often we put things off and think I'll do that tomorrow, I'll eat healthy tomorrow, I'll tidy the house tomorrow etc!
But when we only think about this day it should have an effect on us - if this was the last day we had on earth how would we spend it? If Jesus was in the room with us and we could see Him, would we be doing anything differently? What's the best way we could spend our time just today, not tomorrow, but today?
I also like it because it rules out the past, and the future. We shouldn't be living in the past, but making the most of the time we have now. And we shouldn't be worrying about the future, because we can spend so much time worrying about the future that we don't use the time we have today!
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34
'That Day' I take to mean when I stand before Jesus. What a wonderful day that will be! But also I wonder how many regrets I will have? If I stood before Jesus this weekend, would I wish I'd spent my week a bit differently? If I am called to give an account of what I have done with what He's given me, will I be happy with that account?
This is a really good thing for us to think about. It is both comforting and hopeful and exciting, but also should challenge us to live for eternity, with a mind that is set on eternal things that last and not material things that perish.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 2 Peter 3:10-14
A lovely song to end on:
Linking up with Solo Deo Gloria Party

Legoland Florida has announced its first year-end holiday plans. Beginning Dec. 5, the Winter Haven theme park will mark its "Christmas Bricktacular" with decorations, primarily in "The Beginning" and Fun Town areas.
One dominant decoration should be the 30-foot Christmas tree made of 270,000 green Lego and Duplo bricks. It will be erected in The Beginning - a.k.a., the park's entrance. The first lighting ceremony will take place Monday, Dec. 5., and a family will be selected to assist with the lighting each night from Dec. 8 to Dec. 31.
Santa Claus will be stationed in the botanical gardens area and available for photos.
On Dec. 31, Legoland Florida will celebrate Kids' New Year's Eve, which features fireworks at an unusual time -- what Legoland refers to as midnight KST or "Kid Standard Time," more commonly known as 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
The holiday events are included in regular park admission.

"Behind the Hamster Wheel"
"Automate This" is a good primer on how things work behind the scenes. The book is easy to understand by someone that doesn't have a technical background. Christopher Steiner structured his title in a way to help you understand how business is run behind the hamster wheel.
Many times we interact with bots, even when we don't know it. How many times have you dabbled in online dating and needed to take a survey to find potential matches? Base on your interests and answers, they use algorithms to try to match you with other members that have similar interests.
We are all being track each time we make a phone call to customer service and when we use our discount cards and whatever else. We are all walking data for bots to understand us better. When I log into my streaming account, it will bring up recommendations titles that I might like. The process of choosing a movie is already made. Soon, we will no longer need to make choices because it will be on the screen.
"Dripping Paint"
I have no heart. I couldn't stand this book. Dave Eggers is not an engaging writer. When he writes, he cannot stay focus. It was very frustrating to read because one minute he tell us something that really matters and the next, he goes onto something else. Very ADD style of writing. He cannot complete a sentence
"Zeitoun" was not compelling story for me to read. Again, I am heartless. I wanted to know about the storm and the government failure, but all I got was about a Syrian contractor in New Orleans. Listening to this story was almost like watching paint dry on a humid, hot day. The paint never fully dries because of the humidity. Much like the wet paint, Zeitoun's story just drips and get blotchy.
I was interested in reading Dave Eggers most recent book, but I'm canceling that order. He can't write in a straight line. Someone else should had wrote about Zeitoun. I can't handle human interest stories because they all follow the same pattern and this author is 100% a bad writer in my mind.
I really hope that Netflix does a documentary on "The Viral Storm." I think that is the only way for the mass to be more aware of outbreaks of pandemic that will eventually make mankind extinct. Awesome and frighten information from Nathan Wolfe. Vast information on biotech and how vaccines gets develop from its viruses. Hope to watch it one day on my Queue because television is the only way to inform everyone on any potential pandemic. Not enough of us reads anymore, other than checking our friends' status.
"Too Long of a Timeline (and error in the audio)"
(In the audio version of Edge of Eternity, the epilogue is cut off. Right before our 44th President and the quoting of William Shakespeare. Hopefully, Audible will get this fix. I'm going to go to the bookstore to read the last few lines in the book.)
I was looking forward to the final book of the Century Trilogy and Ken Follett is a remarkable author. I always gasp whenever I start another title from him because I enjoy historical fiction. "Edge of Eternity" expands almost 50 years with JFK's affairs, his assassination, MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, the shot that killed Bobby Kennedy, Watergate, Reagan's administration and ended at Obama's first election victory.
In between the history, Follett goes in depth with his numerous characters and their lives. Like the Civil Rights movement in the States and how one of the Black female characters became JFK's mistress. She was a White House intern at the time and later be in charge of the State Department.
A rising rock-and-roll star fleeing the dictatorship from the communist and leaving his pregnant lover behind and having a successful career in USA during the free love era. The list goes on and on. There are too many scenarios with other characters.
Although I like this book tremendously and enjoy the random sex scenes, the timeline became too much to crammed into a thousand some odd pages or almost 37 hours. "Edge of Eternity" almost needed to be broken up into two volumes and 200 pages longer to understand the scale of what happened in the past. After the death of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy's death, the book should had ended there to explain more of the fictional characters and their lives of Civil Rights and the past war with Cuba with John F. Kennedy.
Ken Follett writes about sex to be erotic and that is one thing that I have always enjoyed in the Century Trilogy, but I also think that the author is getting sloppy with the dirty deed. The sex became too random throughout the book, where I thought that I was reading an young adult novel. After a while, I got my mind to ignore the love making and focus onto the end.
Am I disappointed in the trilogy? It's really hard to say. I really like the second book the most out of the three because I like knowing more about World War II and the characters were more interesting in "Winter of the World." As for the final book, the timeline was too long for me.
Again, I wished that Ken Follett would had written more into two separate books, but then it would not be a trilogy. Unlike the previous books in the series, most of the characters in the last installment are just "okay." They were just bland and very cookie cutter with the time. I didn't quite enjoy any of them. No one really stuck out. They were very predictable.
I also bought this book to listen to John Lee's performance. He is always outstanding and was the narrator in all three books. Nice touch at naming one of the character "John Lee" in ""Edge of Eternity." My only guess is Follett wanted to thank Lee for his voice in the Century Trilogy.
Maybe because I watched the Berlin Wall come down, the entire story felt less reverent to me.
This is my second time at reading "No One Would Listen," and at the time when my friend let me borrow the book, I thought that it was great. Unless you were living under a rock, you couldn't get away at hearing Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme and his victims. Four years later after Harry Markopolos published his book on how he caught Madoff fraudulent acts, I still find this book to be good.
Maybe a bit over the top from Markopolos and a bit too much about him and not enough about Madoff and his victims, but good enough to purchase the book for my Audible library. I just did a search on the latest news on Bernie and his penthouse on 64th Street just sold for $14.5 million. Now Madoff lives at Federal Correctional Institution Butner Medium. which cost way more than his penthouse. Nice upgrade.
"Hamilton in One Direction"
I'm a huge fan of Peter F. Hamilton. I still think that he is one of the best writers for science fiction. He writes in grand and epic structure with vast amount of detail in his characters. When reading the first installment of "The Greg Mandel Trilogy", you have to tweak your brain from what you read before from this author. "Mindstar Rising" is not space opera, but more action pack and focus on one character that is a sci fi detective on a post disaster in England.
Please don't quote me, but I believe that the Mandel series was Hamilton's first. It will be interesting if he veer off more into space opera and somehow introduce us to Commonwealth as I keep listening to this trilogy.
When reading the this book, Hamilton is in one direction. It's very different than what I've read from him in the past.
I only gave "Mindstar Rising" 3 stars because it's like getting introduce to an new author. My mind still need to adjust that there is no space drama and sexy droids in this universe. I'm sure that more stars will be added in the following books as I see Hamilton in a different light.
Just a lot of action in this one.
"Chipping for Crude"
To sum up the point of the book, when they couldn't drill anymore, they started fracking to get as much old that they can with no regards to anything else. "The Frackers" are a bunch of lottery winners from past black gold. I'm not an environmentalist, but the book is very neutral. The author is very melancholy at where he stands.
"The Frackers" is strictly a biography on the oil tycoons It's too early to tell what fracking is doing to the environment and this book is very lack luster, but I hope that I don't see the day when "Frack You" becomes the new slang.
There is no information on the process of fracking. It's all about the business of chipping for Crude.
My dad customized a 1979 Econoline-150 van with a wheelchair ramp for me. It was the family van, and as I got older, I got the keys to the "Brown Can.". The old goat ran for almost 20 years and got me through college, camping trips,concerts and lots of fun. We were sad to see the beast go. If Ford made an accessible mini van, I would probably have another Ford right now, instead of a Japanese import.
"American Icon" is a true success story that I kept rooting for. There is something about seeing a Ford on the road and having pride in America. One of the best business stories that I've listened to in a long time. Ford had great leadership from the very beginning. A few major hiccups during the dot com era, but thanks to Alan Mulally, Ford is back again.
At one time, my family had all Ford's in the driveway. While they ran over 100k, they all rattle and all of their air conditioners stopped working. Unlike the E-150, they all had the new blue oval logo, instead of F O R D individually stamped out in steel and bolted on the hood.
Probably won't buy another Ford again, unless I need a heavy duty truck and if then I would get a Cummins Diesel.
"Much More Enjoyable"
"Voyager" was much more enjoyable than "Dragonfly in Amber" and I am finally getting into the Outlander series. Claire, Jamie, and Brianna are starting to make sense to me. I am understanding a lot more about the time travel and the different periods of time. Diana Gabaldon is a remarkable writer. I really like her storytelling about the history. Claire becoming a slave owner with Jamie is simply brilliant because Claire left Brianna behind with Frank during the Civil Rights movement in the 60's.
I almost couldn't stop listening to "Voyager." The series finally fired on all cylinders and that is what I was hoping for all along. In "Voyager", it's not all about the family drama between the three, there are new characters in the melting pot, like Jamie's nephew, Young Ian and how he pretty much got raped by another woman and his uncle gave him a pep talk that the penis has no conscience.
How can anybody forget Mr. Willoughby. He is my favorite. I'm really hoping Claire's letter to her daughter will somehow come into play.
My friends are warning me that I'm getting too involve into the series, where I might start to think that I can time travel also. Hopefully, they will have an intervention for me. It's just the price to pay at reading a good book. I can't wait for more.
I found Davina Porter's voice much more enjoyable when I cranked the speed up on my IPod. I really don't like to alter any narrators' voices, but Porter's reading pace is just too slow to pay attention. If you crank the speed up, you get a lot more story than on normal speed, but that is just my preference.
"Coming from a Family of Healers"
My two younger siblings are both in the medical field. One is a physician and the other one is an anesthetists. We also have other family members are in the same line of work. When all of them get together, they like to talk shop until someone change the subject.
"Extreme Medicine: How Exploration Transformed Medicine in the Twentieth Century" from Dr. Kevin Fong is interesting, but also a bit redundant because I pretty much heard it all from my family. The history of medicine and how the human body is so resilient is awesome to listen to, but "Exploration" of medicine is a bit hog wash. I don't quite understand what Dr. Fong is trying to prove.
The cross reference of space exploration and medicine is a bit misleading. I don't see the link between the two when medicine is always evolving. We no longer use our bare hands to operate and microscopic surgery is becoming the norm. I guess what Dr. Fong is trying to say that without space exploration, the progress of medicine will be slower.
"Blog on Pluto"
I recently read Neil deGrasse Tyson's other book on Audible and found it fascinating. When I got the chance to buy "The Pluto Files" on sale, I was in joy. I find Dr. Tyson to be a genius. This book is more like a 4 hour lecture on why Pluto is not a planet. There is a lot of commentary from Tyson.and snippets of Pluto. If you are into astronomy, "The Pluto Files" is more like a personal blog from an astrophysicist.

Q&A: Are there any pre-natal vitamins without vitamin A?
I am concerned about vitamin A, as it is rated 125% of the daily value in my current pre-natal vitamins. There's also a synthetic form of vitamin A in some of the foods I have been eating. Are there any pre-natal vitamins without vitamin A?
Ther-RX is a company which makes pre-natal vitamins with just the essentials, like Folic Acid and iron. However, you're right in that too much Vitamin A is harmful to the baby; but you're wrong in that taking a major brand pre-natal vitamin with a normal diet will give you too much (unless you live totally on carrots).
Ask your doctor about the Ther-RX brand.

Anyone who knows me knows that my very favorite place is Ferndale, CA, but this is NOT Ferndale, it is Fern Dell Park which is located in Griffith Park near Los Angeles. Fern Dell Park is a hiking trail that winds along a creek which flows from a natural spring through a canyon that leads up to the Griffith Park Observatory. The trail is about 3 miles long (one way) and is full of ferns, redwood trees, oaks, Elephant Ears, and many other interesting plants. I had planned on hiking all the way up to the observatory, but about half-way up, I was pooped, even though I am used to walking 2 miles every day. The trail had a very steep incline and I was really huffing and puffing.

On orders from Gov. Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia to overturn new rules concerning mountaintop mining.

strange opening 20 minutes after Phantoms scored twice in opening minute. The Bison were even more shell shocked when they went three down, but are back in the game now as they only trail by one.
However, the Phantoms star men have already shown what they can do so the Herd defence has to be strong for the next 40 minutes.
GOAL - Bison 2 Phantoms 3 - Ciaran Long (19:51)
Long scores from close range as the big scoring line in recent weeks is reunited.
Skinns makes a great save to deny Pliskauskas from close range as the Herd fail to score on their next powerplay.

Team news - The Bison are minus Kurt Reynolds and Danny Ingoldsby both injured.
Peterborough give a debut to their import netminder Kamil Jarina. He joined the Phantoms from Slough and faced the Bison in his debut game for the Jets and conceded three early goals.
The Bison are looking to snap a three game losing streak tonight and have beaten the Phantoms on their last two visits to Basingstoke.
Peterborough even if they are bottom of the table, they picked up three points last weekend against the Herd's title rivals the Guildford Flames.
Welcome to this evening's game between the Basingstoke Bison and the Peterborough Phantoms.
Fingers and toes still a bit numb after an afternoon at Down Grange watching the rugby boys sadly lose. So hope it is not too cold in here tonight - just forgot it is a ice rink!

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Temple Square in Salt Lake City is visited by 5 million people a year. It
has a terrific view of the Salt Lake Temple. Fountains and statues adorn the
Salt Lake is the State Capitol of Utah. The Capitol building most resembles
our nation's Capitol.
It was completed in 1916 and remodeled in the mid-2000's.
Interesting fact, Salt Lake City sits on an earthquake fault line. When the
Capitol building was remodeled, they installed a base-isolation system that
is designed to protect the structure in the event of a quake.
