Modest rise gives stocks a third straight week of gains
U.S. stocks closed modestly higher Friday, giving the market its third straight week of gains.
Consumer staples and health care stocks were among the biggest risers as investors assessed the latest company earnings and economic news.
After several weeks speculating about the implications of a slowdown in China and the timing of an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve, traders are squarely tuned into company earnings as they hunt for insight into how the global economy is doing.
"That's what the market is focused on," said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial. "Are we seeing a pickup in demand overseas and in the United States, and if so, which sectors? That's what this is about."
General Electric rose 3 percent, the most in the Dow Jones industrial average, after the industrial conglomerate reported earnings that beat analysts' forecasts.
The Dow rose 74.22 points, or 0.4 percent, to 17,215.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 9.25 points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,033.11. The Nasdaq composite added 16.59 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,886.69.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq is up 3.2 percent this year. The Dow and S&P 500 are still negative. The Dow is down 3.4 percent, while the S&P 500 is off 1.3 percent.
The three major stock indexes began the day slightly higher, then wavered after midday. The indexes slipped into the red at times before drifting back into positive territory.
Investors appeared to brush off some discouraging economic data, including a Federal Reserve report indicating that U.S. manufacturing production fell for the second straight month in September. A separate Labor Department report showed that employers advertised fewer job openings in August and kept hiring flat. The job market has weakened the past two months, reflecting slower global economic growth.
All told, nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 rose. Health care and consumer staples stocks each gained about 1 percent. The industrials sector declined 0.2 percent.
General Electric reported a decline in third-quarter profit, but strong performances from its core units helped the company top Wall Street expectations. GE rose 95 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $28.98.
Mattel climbed 6 percent after analysts at Oppenheimer published a research note highlighting the toymaker's core brands as a bright spot. The report came a day after Mattel reported disappointing third-quarter results. Mattel gained $1.36 to $23.89.
Traders hammered Quanta Services after the contracting services company lowered its third-quarter profit and revenue outlook, citing project delays and a tough market. The stock plunged 28.5 percent, losing $7.47 to $18.74.
Third-quarter earnings are forecast to contract overall as falling energy prices and weak global demand start to eat into profits.
Among companies in the S&P 500 that have already reported third-quarter results, earnings declined 5.1 percent from a year ago, the first drop in earnings growth since the July-September period in 2009, according to S&P Capital IQ.
"When all is said and done we'll probably be looking at earnings that are flattish for the quarter," said David Lefkowitz, an executive director and equity strategist at UBS. "But excluding the energy sector, we're looking for 6 percent growth, which is consistent with what we saw earlier this year."
The earnings season hits a peak next week with scores of major companies scheduled to report results including Morgan Stanley, Boeing, General Motors, McDonald's and Microsoft.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.6 percent, while Germany's DAX rose 0.4 percent. France's CAC 40 gained 0.6 percent. In Asia, South Korea's Kospi inched down 0.1 percent, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.8 percent. The Shanghai Composite in mainland China was up 1.6 percent. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 added 1.1 percent, aided by expectations that the country's central bank will come up with more stimulus measures this month or next.
In energy futures trading, Benchmark U.S. crude added 88 cents to close at $47.26 in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, rose 73 cents to close at $50.46 a barrel in London.
Wholesale gasoline rose 2.1 cents to close at $1.328 a gallon, while heating oil rose 1 cent to close at $1.497 a gallon. Natural gas fell 2.3 cents to close at $2.43 per 1,000 cubic feet.
U.S. government bond prices didn't budge. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held at 2.02 percent. The euro was little changed at $1.1349 while the dollar edged up to 119.49 yen.
In metals trading, gold fell $4.40 to $1,183.10 an ounce, silver declined five cents to $16.11 an ounce and copper lost two cents to settle at $2.40 a pound.

Citrix' NetScaler MPX hardware appliance - the application accelerator that Citrix claims is used by the biggest consumer web sites, touching 75% of all Internet users everyday - is going to get a low-end standards-based virtual counterpart.
The software-based virtual appliance is called NetScaler VPX and is meant to push NetScaler functionality down the food chain as well as into the cloud.
Citrix says it will be downloadable and will run on any standard server, enhancing the delivery of virtualized server and application resources. It will also be usable as a virtualized service in and of itself.
VPX is supposed to be a fundamentally different approach to the convergence of virtualization and networking than the usual proprietary hardware.
NetScaler functionality includes caching, security and compression that VPX can make deployable on a per-application basis.
Multiple NetScaler instances can run simultaneously on a single server in isolation from one another making it a cheap multi-tenant solution.
Citrix says that putting NetScaler MPX at the edge and VPX close to the app will create a centrally managed two-tier web application delivery fabric with MPX handling network-wide task such as SSL encryption and denial of service prevention.
VPX runs on Citrix' XenServer virtualization platform and its virtual images can be managed through the XenCenter management console. AppExpert templates will be available to deploy and configure applications like SharePoint.
VPX will be available as a public preview on May 18 with commercial release to follow sometime in Q3. No pricing till then.
Citrix is planning to introduce virtual versions of its Access Gateway secure remote access appliance and Branch Repeater appliance. The first will be out in the second half, the later will hit beta about then with commercialization in the first half of 2010.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Historical Traveler Reviews Drury Inn Union Station Saint Louis
Fantastic Stay!
Just got home from three fabulous nights at Drury. Hotel is close to everything: shopping and dining. With three children in tow, the buffet breakfast was a major plus. The hotel pool is on the small side, but only two other guests were ever there enjoying it with my family. Additional bonuses include free stay for family pet, adult beverages every night of stay, free long distance, and in-room free soda and popcorn. We got an excellent deal calling them directly, cheaper than travel sites. We visited the zoo, science center, history museum, Gateway Arch, Steinberg's Skating Rink, and watched a River Otters hockey game. With all the free amenities from the hotel, and the free places to visit in St. Louis, my family saved money on this mini-vacation. We will definitely stay at Drury on our next vacation, and in fact, are scheduling a weekend away in two weeks with Drury. Nice place to stay with kids and pet!
Never had a problem...
My wife and I have stayed at the Drury Inn Union Station on a number of occasions, and we have never had any problems with the rooms, staff, or in general -- in fact, we usually try to stay there whenever we're in St. Louis! The staff has always been very pleasant and accomdating (and we were there one morning when there was a bomb threat in front of the hotel on 20th St.!), and the rooms have always been nice and clean.
We are loyal Drury guests because of our experiences here, and we consider it to be "our" hotel in St. Louis -- matter of fact, we'll be there next month!
Great Stay!
Traveled here for the Fourth of July Weekend. We got a great deal on Expedia. We had free parking, free hot breakfast, and free snacks and drinks in the evening. You also got free soda and popcorn in your room, replaced daily. The pool is kind of small, but it was still good. It is nice to have a lifeguard on duty, although children are not allowed to swim without a guardian present. There is a hot tub right beside the pool. Union Station is right next door and you can walk there any time you want. We also walked to the Cardinals Games. It was about 5 blocks away, which is good exercise since you will be sitting for a long time. I hate riding metrolink to Cards games because it takes so long to get on one.
OK but a bit overpriced
First, I give Drury kudos for restoring an historic building rather that dozing it and building new. They kept a piece of local history intact and I like that. They did a nice job, too. The place is nice but not fancy. Their slogan is "Extras aren't Extra!". They're not extra...they're built into the price already. We paid about $135 on average per night and the rooms remind more of the $95 price range. They are neither large nor luxurious. We also requested and received a non-smoking room. Our room did not smell of smoke but the common areas of our floor sure did.....like an old ashtray. For the extra $40 per night you do receive the following freebies: Parking, hi-speed in-room web access, breakfast and 3 drinks. The breakfast is OK and so are the drinks provided each evening in a sort of happy hour theme but there is not enough tables and chairs provided so a lot of people have to stand. Be aware there is also no room service and no food available in building after about 10:30pm. This surprised me in this price range. Also when I asked the night clerk where I might find an open restaurant after 11:00pm, all he gave me was a blank stare. I would think they would get this question a lot and might provide little maps to local late night eateries if only fast food joints. Union Station is next door and that's convenient but there are no restaurants open there after 11:00 either! When the Cardinals games let out you would think the local eateries would stay open to take advantage of all the traffic....but apparently not. We were in town for Cards games and were disappointed to find everything at Union Station, including Hard Rock closed after the game! Obviously this is no fault of Drury but does limit the appeal of staying near Union Station. I think next time we come to town for Cards games we'll try some place else.
Great Place to Stay!!!
Stayed for five nights the week after Thanksgiving in 2004. The location is excellent, we parked the car and walked to Union Station. Room was excellent, clean and comfortable, very nice. Breakfast was great and included daily. Evening Happy Hour was an excellent way to meet other guest. Wonderful lobby. The original part of the Inn was the Railroad YMCA. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent.
Noise, noise & more noise
First night here was last night. HVAC unit in room near window woke me up every time it ran. I tried to sleep in ear plugs and it still woke me up. At 2am I turned the lousy thing off altogether, but continued to sleep in ear plugs.
I am also hearing noise from outside as well. Sounds like a steady drone which I do not believe is related to traffic (constant throughout the night).
I am staying on the top floor. This morning at 6am I also heard extraordinarily loud water noise from a neighbor using running water. Loud enough to wake anybody up.
Am fairly convinced that the hotel's infrastructure was not renewed when the hotel renovated the building (ie they probably cut corners to save $).
Otherwise location is nice - short walk to Union Square restaurants & shops (ie main entrance).
Absolutely Wonderful!
I have stayed at this hotel five times in the last two years. I have always had a wonderful room, exceptional service, and a great experience. If possible book early, this hotel oftens sells out. The hotel is in a renovated historic building. The lay-out is beautiful. It is located next to St. Louis Union Station a fun place for dinner, the comedy club, or paddle boating. Union Station is located on the Metrolink. Just coming to see St. Louis city or go to a game, no need to rent a car. Just hop on the Metrolink (train) from the airport and exit at the St. Louis Union Station (proceed pass Union Station to the Drury Inn). Drury Inn offers a wonderful, FREE, hot breakfast buffet. Here's a very important feature: hotels in St. Louis city limits offer a lifeguard at their pools (it's a city ordinance). The pool and hot tub are exceptional. The lifeguards were pleasant, professional and serious about safety. Covered, secure parking is free. This a great deal. The Plaza Drury Inn charges $10 for parking. Don't miss the Manager's Reception in the evening. Have a free glass of wine, relax, and enjoy your stay at this great hotel.
Expensive Dive
On a cross-country car trip, after a long day of driving we were in need of a reward and opted for splurging on a downtown hotel in St. Louis to enjoy a little big city fun. It was fun, but in no part was this due to the hotel, other than the location.
We paid a $135 for what looked like a bad Motel 6. The decor was circa 1975 and I don't mean retro. It was all original. The room had mis-matched, scruffy furniture and when I pulled back the ugly, cheap looking bedspread it had one cigarette burn and several large yellow stains (my guess is as good as yours here). The sheets were thread bare and had a grey tinge to them, though presumably laundered. The carpet had lumps in it and the room had a window giving a dark view of a inside corridor. The soaps and shampoo were the kind you find in a cheap motel but it did have nice granite floor and counter in bathroom--the contrast here was almost odd.
Also on the up side the breakfast was free and fine, the desk clerks were friendly enough, as was the reservationist on the phone and the location was fantastic.
I just had a hard time reconciling paying $150 (after taxes) for a dive, even given the location but if you care only for location and can get past the price and the seediness, this place is for you!
Terrific place to stay in St. Louis
We do a weekend every so often in St. Louis. It is a fun small city--lots to do, especially with children (St. Louis Zoo, Science Center). We usually either drive home, or stay out near the airport.
This past July (2004) we had tickets to a Cubs/Cards night game at Busch, and decided to stay overnight. The Drury at Union Station was the most affordable place within walking distance. It turned out to be a terrific place--restored old building that has character, yet completely updated for cleanliness and comfort.
We stayed at a similar Drury in New Orleans later that summer--just as satisfied. I think it is great to put updated motels in older buildings, near the downtown instead of out by an Interstate.
This one offered free parking, with Union Station across the street for nearby entertainment and dining. We walked over and fed the fish in the covered outdoor area in the morning. The walk to Busch was a bit farther than the website indicates, but we would do it again.
Free evening reception was nice, and variety at breakfast (but the usual motel quality, lots of mediocre but edible food). The popcorn and soda provided in the inroom fridge (and a microwave) was a nice touch.
Only downer of the trip? Cubs lost, but we are sure used to that. Maybe next year.
Great location, nice hotel
We used the Drury Inn for our out of town wedding guests and were absolutely thrilled with the hotel. The pool area is nice, the free hot breakfast is outstanding, and you can't beat the location. Seven great restaurants within 100 yards, plus right across the street from Union Station, and minutes from the Arch and the rest of downtown. The rooms were very nice, and the service was extremely friendly and helpful.
Great hotel value.

This our our family and the picture was taken when we first purchased our unit in 2005.
Jay or Connie purchased this condo in 2006
Our family purchased a unit in Treasure Island almost 8 years ago. The beaches are so pristine, it's a wonderful environment for our children and us. Our family is very busy during the year with church, cheerleading, football, and baseball. Treasure Island is like our home away from home for us to take a break from everyday life. This is the place where I look forward to continue to watch my children grow up and remember the great times we spend here. Sunset Vistas is ideally placed on the white sands of Treasure Island with amenities unmatched by many complexes such as a heated pool, Tiki Bar, Weight Room and satellite TV. It is close to great restaurants, water sports and shopping at John's Pass while maintaining a remote feeling.
Our condo has almost everything that a family would need! We keep one of the closets stocked with beach toy's, video's, books, magazines and most things that you would need at the beach. The beach is only steps from our unit just waiting for you to relax, play or enjoy the water sport of your choice. We sometimes bring our jet ski's over to enjoy them. Not to mention the sunsets are beautiful!. We also have two pools and a hot tub. The complex is managed very well and the grounds are kept up very well. During the spring and summer they have live bands playing at the Tiki Bar that sits right in front of the beach. Also, right up the street is John's pass. Any family can enjoy shopping, eating out or whatever fancies them most.
We were very pleased with our stay. The owners were easy to work with and the condo was nice and just as presented. You do have a great parking space close to the elevator. Unfortunately, our vehicle would not fit in the garage as we had our car top carrier and it was too tall. No fault of the owners but just wanted to let others know in case you were traveling with one. We were able to park in visitor spaces but they are first come first serve. The pool and hot tub were fun too. There were items in the condo that could be used like sand toys, beach chairs, books, toys, movies, etc. We would definitely stay here again.
We have never traveled to this part of Florida and loved it. I would definitely come back and stay at this condo. The owners were extremely easy to work with. Loved the keyless entry (especially with teens). Loved having our own parking spot that was covered so never had to hunt for a space. We had breakfast on our balcony daily, overlooking the fabulous beach and ocean. It's not direct, but it's as close as you can get. The whole facilities is kept very clean, from the pool bar to the coffee shop. I was even able to print our boarding passes, etc from the business area. There was a workout room on site, and even books and magazines to take and return as wanted. I would definitely stay at this site again and I would definitely rent from these owners!
We stayed in the condo first week of October. The place was just perfect. The resort is right on the beach overlooking Gulf of Mexico. You might think the view wouldn't be as perfect since the condo is kind of on the side, but you DO have 100% of clear ocean/ beach view right there on the beach on the North side of the building. This was exactly what we were looking for. It was 6 of us 4 adults and 2 kids. The condo is big enough everyone felt comfortable. Everything you need is right there on the spot: the Café, the bar, big pool, easy access to the beach right from the back of the building. There are tones of restaurants within 1 mile radius. You do not need to drive to most of them if you travel with no kids. The resort is located half way between Treasure Island DT and John's Pass. We loved the big balcony we spend our evenings at looking at the sunsets. I don't think you are able to see it from the South side of the building, which makes the condo even more unique. The resort is clean and neat. Assigned parking is covered close to the elevators so it's very convenient. The owners Jay and Connie are very responsive. They will answer all your questions and they are very easy to deal with. We will definitely rent this condo again when we are back to the area!!!!!!!!!
We rented this unit for a family vacation. My wife and I and our two boys, ages 2 and 4, had a blast. Everything went as planned. Jay, the owner, was quick to respond to any of our questions. The complex is beautiful and the separate kiddie pool makes for an enjoyable experience. The views are awesome and the area offers a lot to do. You won't beat this unit or the price!
We rented this unit the first week of June 2013 and again the same week of June 2014. The reason for renting the same unit, there are several.
1. The owner is extremely easy to work with whether booking your week or making sure everything is going okay while you are there. Easy to get in contact with and very responsive.
2. The unit is well maintained, clean, and a few extras with having pool and beach equipment available, movies, etc. The code entry system is very nice for not having to deal with remember key cards, simply enter your code and you are in.
3. The location of the unit is perfect for us. We love being on the north side and a close view of the pool and beach. Just the right number of floors up and doors from steps for us.
We will rent this unit again.
We have not done spring break with our kids but this was a special one as our baby is graduating from
High school. We planned this with other families who stayed in same unit . Jay and Connie were quick to reply to my many questions and were gracious hosts ! Our stay was perfect, weather included!! We had everything we needed and the view was amazing! Such a relaxing week, walked the beach every day and sat back and relaxed the rest of the day!
Our kids were very independent and having johns pass so close they could get around without cars! Sunsets on the beach were awesome and then beach was very clean and well kept! If we were to go back to this area I would call Jay in a heart best!! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay !

Really, nice, clean, well kept park. Seems to be a park geared more for the retired, over 55 crowd with either motor homes or trailers/5th wheels.
Nothing for kids to do other than ride a bike or play on the beach. No playground, pool, or hot tub.
Sites are REALLY close together. Parking for 'extra' vehicles seems to be a problem at the sites and you cannot park in front of your rig.
We probably won't be back until we don't own a pickup camper because they don't let you off load your camper from the pickup. Doesn't matter if you lower it to the ground or not, NO OFF LOADING. We knew this coming in. If you plan a week here and have a truck camper, we'd recommend you find a park that let's you off load...unless you don't mind being 'trapped' or having to disconnect each time you want to go
The showers --yes, they are tile, private and super clean, HOWEVER, the water runs for only 15 seconds before you have to push the button again...and again....and again...until you're finished. We understand the 'save water' aspect, but please set the run time for 60 seconds.
The 'quiet after 10pm' rule doesn't seem to be enforced in this VERY close to your neighbor campground. When your neighbors are drunk and loudly laughing around their propane campfire at 11:30pm, it's a little (LOT!) irritating.
While we didn't have any difficulty on the trail to the beach, a handicapped or elderly person who has difficulty walking would not make it to/from the beach.
Clean! Clean! Clean! We can't say enough about how clean and well kept this park is. They even sweep the errant rocks from the roadways back into the sites AND they rake the sites after people leave. Nice, level sites, too.
The woman in the office is really, really nice and helpful.
The store has basic things, nice gifts and ICE CREAM!!!!! - TCsCabin

Very nice clean friendly park. The laundry had older machines but clean and worked well. The nice tile showers had heated floors! We were back up the hill from the beach front spots and out of the gale force winds. Very quiet and peaceful. - MJHP*28

Zero privacy. So close together you share a panic table. Left without even hooking up. Not close to the ocean, unless you risk your life crossing Hwy 101.

An older park that is in desperate need of TLC. The office and bath house/laundry room were not clean, the dumpsters were overflowing, and landscaping has not been maintained. Layout is very awkward for today's larger RVs to easily navigate in/out of sites. WiFi is flaky, at best. On the upside, the park is in close proximity to the beautiful Pacific Ocean and just a short distance from the quaint town of Depoe Bay. - Ann M.
Oct 2010 - $27.00
First the good news! Depoe Bay and the neighboring cities are beautiful and the area, itself is lovely with spacious beaches. Now for Fogarty Creek RV Park. The park is mainly for year round residents and while most of them are well maintained, some are not. The spaces for the over-nighters are in the middle of the park surrounded by the previously mentioned year round lodgings and are exposed on all sides with very few trees. The feeling is like that of being on stage with little or no privacy. The cement slabs are in a direct line with each other and if you don't have either a front or back slab but rather a middle slab I have no idea how you would be able to place your trailer. The park has absolutely no personality and we would not return. - TwelveOaks

It is a gorgeous location but they got too greedy and crammed everyone up too close together. So you cannot really enjoy any of your own space. Lovely river and boat, fishing dock right behind our space( 22). the WiFi from our spot was impossible. They said we would have to walk down to the office if we wanted to connect. We were at the other end of the park. For some reason we lost the spot we were supposed to be in (12) when we made the reservation. There were many campfires, which surprised me because I thought there was a ban on burning because of the drought. the fishermen start very early in the morning and since our site (22) was backed up to the dock you were awakened by them talking and such before 6:00 AM. - beach89bum

This is a small park right on the Siletz River near Lincoln City, Oregon. Older park with beautiful setting. The amenities are limited. There are 20+ riverside sites. and probably 3 times as many smaller sites just back from the river. There are plenty of tent sites. There are several "tree Houses", basically small KOA style cabins on stilts. There is only one bathroom but there are several porta-potties scattered around for the tent sites. The Wifi is marginal and the owner turns it off at 9:30 at night. Only scant Verizon cell service and no ATT that I could see with my tablet. Seems like several families camping in tent sites. I think many of the clients are fishermen. No dog run, but plenty of places to walk the dog. - Nat02
Jul 2013 - $32.00
Decent little park in a beautiful setting on the Siletz River. The scenery is nice, but the owner shutting off the internet at 10pm is inexcusable and is doubly insulting when they tell you it's because everyone does video and games. Then they totally shut it off one day and told us they had used up all their data allowance! So, NO more Internet until next month! The rest of the utilities were ok. Verizon was very weak here. Also, the park required very careful maneuvering for our 40' rig. There were quite a few OLD rigs in the park, right up front, but everyone we talked with was very nice. There were a lot of tent campers and kids, and there's a boat ramp and marina here, too. The wind blows like crazy in Oregon, but the trees give you a little break here. The owners were polite, but the Internet thing is unbelievable. We won't be back. - afletch

I agree with the review stating the park has seen better days. I had a site H26 which was a very tight spot that did not allow me to open my slides the entire way. The worst thing about my stay was the fact that I'm guessing because it was a Friday there were a lot of large extended families and friends and neighbors at adjoining sites making it a very busy area in addition to having kids riding around all day ( with plastic training wheels ). I would not stay here again. - twowoofs

Many recent posters have hit the nail on the head. It's shady, in a rain forest, the roads and pads are uprooted by the trees making for a rough ride and difficulty leveling, etc. The thing is, this park is great! The park service is allowing nature to do its thing while we get to enjoy the park this has become. I have camped here for at least 50 years as a child and into senior citizenship and it has changed over that time. Embrace the rough edges of the campground and enjoy the beach! - RickB

This is an old state park back in the forest. It is VERY busy so if you like a quiet park this isn't the place. The sites have asphalt to park your RV that are old and very uneven due to tree root growth. Make sure you bring plenty of boards for leveling. We needed all we had. No cell service or air TV in the area we were (loop F), if that matters to you. We wouldn't stay again or recommend this park to our friends. Way too rustic for our liking. - Ellie from Yakima WA

We have a 45' coach and must be level in order to extend our slides. Our size and leveling limitations eliminates many choices of locations. We had reserved for one week, but when we were guided to our site in a large, low lying, field they took us to a spot covered with 2"-3" of water. We were told that it poured the prior two days. Duh: it is Oregon! I would have had to stand in 2"-3" of water to disconnect the toad, attach the power cord, and connect the sewer. We returned to the office for a refund and departed, never to return again. - Don A

All roads are gravel or dirt. The office, store and clubhouse are a half mile away from the campground. Because it had rained, all roads had standing water and mud. Staff were great, though. The 30 amp power shut off 6 times during the night. Very annoying. - ta96silver
Jun 2016 - $15.00
Kind of a weird campground. Would not call it a resort, that is for sure, but it is a pretty place down on the river, and it was quiet and the spots were wide enough for a big rig. The owners and staff were very nice and made ya feel at home and they have a nice store with a lot of fishing stuff and groceries, beer etc.
The negatives are there are quite a few run down ratty trailers that are full time residents. That is not a good look and I do not think there is any rules and regs like leash law etc. There were dogs running around all over. But all and all a pretty cool "rustic" campground and great for fishermen with a boat ramp on site. - Topjimmy

This park is a Passport America park, which is how we found it. It is several miles off Hwy 101 and sits on a pretty river. The turn into the campground was tight. We were unable to find any personnel, although I went to a trailer and a building both marked "office", and while at first the place looked okay, while I looked for a host, I realized there was no sign of any short term stays. Every unit there looked long term and the empty grassy sites did not look as if they had been used recently. - The Accidental Trailerist

Very lovely campground close to all the activities we enjoy in Lincoln City and Newport! The park was clean and the on site managers were very friendly in helping us locate our space. We had questions about finding the Drift Creek Falls hike during our stay and they were able to direct us easily as to where we needed to go.
Overall, this campground was tucked back off of highway 101 which we liked but still close enough to get to grocery stores and our favorite hiking trails. - Stevie P

OK for the price. Would have been happier if the sun ever came out, but it is a pretty, quiet rural setting. We missed having internet and TV (you need satellite). Verizon cell signal was weak.

Video: NYPD cop on desk duty after arrest struggle
The images that emerged of Jah-miel Cuffee's arrest shows him pinned on the pavement by other officers
By Matthew Chayes
NEW YORK — The family of a man who died after a violent encounter with the NYPD on Staten Island, joined by another man shown on an amateur cellphone video getting stomped on the head during an arrest in Brooklyn, appeared at a rally Saturday led by the Rev. Al Sharpton demanding action against police brutality.
The images that emerged of Jah-miel Cuffee's arrest shows him pinned on the pavement by other officers when the accused officer approaches and lowers his foot on Cuffee's head. He was suspected of smoking a marijuana cigarette, police said.
A week earlier, Sharpton preached from the same pulpit at his Harlem headquarters over the July 17 death of Eric Garner, 43, an accused peddler of untaxed cigarettes in Staten Island on whom cops applied a banned chokehold. That incident also was caught on amateur video.
Sharpton said he watched the video of Cuffee's Wednesday arrest after returning Friday from a meeting with federal prosecutors to ask that they, instead of the local district attorney, consider prosecuting the chokehold officer.
"It was almost like, 'Here we go again,' " Sharpton said.
Sharpton suggested he wants to see Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration roll back the so-called "broken-windows theory" of policing — championed by Police Commissioner William Bratton — in which officers focus on small offenses to deter bigger crimes.
"The challenge for this mayor is that you ran on transforming the Police Department," Sharpton said. "You have the opportunity now to show you said what you meant and you meant what you said."
Esaw Garner, the dead man's widow, said she wanted the officers involved in his arrest to be arrested. "He was a quiet man, but he's making a lot of noise now," she said.
Cuffee, 32, who has been charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and evidence tampering, had a bruise on his forehead that he says was sustained in the stomp.
"I just want it all to stop. I just want justice," he said.
Cuffee's sister, Rashida Rahim, said her brother was defenseless. "This has to stop," said Rahim, 39, of Englewood, New Jersey. "We need to have justice."
Both officers — Joel Edouard in the Cuffee case and Daniel Pantaleo in the Garner case -- have been stripped of their badges and guns and put on desk duty, the NYPD said.
The officers' union president said videos "present an isolated period of a police interaction but never the entire scenario."
Also attending Sharpton's rally Saturday was Nicole Bell, whose fiance, Sean Bell, was unarmed when he was shot dead by undercover police officers who fired 50 shots outside of a Jamaica, Queens, strip club in 2006. Bell said she felt a kinship with the Garners — "like looking in a mirror."
Sharpton said he and the Garner family are scheduled to meet Monday with Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan Jr. With Robert Brodsky

The Cape
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that the main character in this superhero series uses violence to defend himself in a dangerous world that's rife with corruption. But even though there are intense explosions, shootings, and hand-to-hand combat, there's surprisingly little blood. There's also some infrequent, low-level swearing, mostly in the form of "damn," and some mild allusions to sex and social drinking.
User reviews
Parents say

What's the story?
When he's framed for the murder of the Palm City police chief, dedicated cop Vince Farraday (David Lyons) allows the world to believe he's dead while he transforms himself into THE CAPE, a crime-fighting superhero sprung from the pages of his son's favorite comic book. After training with a troupe of underground circus performers (led by Keith David), the newly minted Cape steels himself for confrontation with notorious villain Chess -- aka Peter Fleming (James Frain), the cunning head of a powerful corporation that's slowly taking over the city's law enforcement duties, with plans to ultimately take total control. But the Cape isn't alone is in his fight, thanks to help from a shadowy blogger who calls herself the Oracle (Summer Glau).
Is it any good?
If you plan to watch The Cape, loving the comic book genre is practically a prerequisite. Because it's not like the writing, plot, or characters will win you over on their own -- and, more importantly, the show fails to create a world or relatable characters that feel grounded in any sort of humanity.
Swallowing the fact that the head of a powerful corporation moonlights as a serpent-eyed villain and cavorts with scaly thugs is one thing. But accepting the show's hero as a do-gooder who trains with an underground circus troupe -- complete with a pint-sized strongman and a ringleader sensei who uses far too many awkward circus metaphors -- might be more than even the most ardently devoted genre fans can accept.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the way this show portrays the world in terms of power, corruption, and corporate influence. Are there really clear-cut "good guys" and "bad guys" out there, or can people be a little of both? Could any of these events actually happen in real life?
Why do fictional superheroes continue to hold widespread appeal in television, movies, and graphic novels? If you were a superhero, what would your cause be? What powers would you need to help you achieve it?

"We created a beautiful place for women to luxuriate in, but what we care about most is that you feel good here, that you feel cared for –and you leave with a smile on your face."
Lisa's been a stylist and colorist for 26 years and recently added massage therapy to her specialties. She attributes her success to putting her clients at ease in the chair –and creating a look together that makes you feel great when you look in the mirror. Many of Lisa's clients have become her friends, and it's her repeat business that has made the salon such a huge success.
Lisa insists on continuous training for herself and her staff, and being abreast of new styles and trends. But she says: "We're not trendy. What we care about is people and making them feel and look beautiful." Lisa specializes in Hair cutting and dimensional color, including balayage and ombre and all modalities of massage therapy.

This is a retail tanning salon located in the NW Suburbs of Chicago. They have 9 tanning beds (stand up beds and lay down beds) and 1 spray tan booth. They also sell tanning lotions & creams, tanning accessories and protective eyewear.
This location has been a tanning salon for more than 14 years. The current owners acquired the business in 2010. It's located in a shopping center in the NW suburbs of Chicago. The salon has great visibility from the road.
The space is about 1,700 sq ft. There's plenty of parking for customers. They have 9 tanning beds (stand up beds and lay down beds) and 1 spray tan booth. They also sell tanning lotions & creams, tanning accessories and protective eyewear.
This tanning salon is run primarily absentee. The owner works here 1-2 days per week. As a result, there are some areas of opportunity to help increase sales and profitability. The most obvious area of opportunity is the fact that they do hardly any advertising at all. In fact, last year they spent $94.50 in advertising. They do have a website however, it's dated & doesn't attract much traffic. It's really not appealing at all however, the tanning salon is very appealing in person.
This established family hair and nail salon is located in an extremely busy retail center and has reported consistent sales during the past 5 years. This ultra-modern salon has a solid client base and benefits from its location. The owner is offering seller financing for qualified buyers only. The business owner is willing to continue to work at the salon to help mentor new owner and assist in expanding the brand.

'Bad Boys' band involved in minor crash in VT Troopers Kurt Wagenbach and Matthew Steeves pose with the group Inner Circle after responding to a minor crash in Marlboro that involved the band's members on Saturday.(Photo: Courtesy Vermont State Police) Two Vermont State Troopers responding to the crash on Saturday were greeted by the four members of Inner Circle, who had been on their way to perform at a reggae festival at Mount Snow in West Dover. Seven people including Hall were in the band's van, which had been traveling from Boston, Trooper Matthew Steeves said. Engelhardt had no passengers. when Engelhardt, who was coming down the mountain in a rental minivan, lost control of his vehicle, Steeves said. "He was coming down the hill, and there's a pretty sharp curve there," Steeves said of Engelhardt. "The morning snow had made the road a little slick and there was black ice. He bounced off the guard rail like a pinball." Steeves said Engelhardt's van slid sideways into the oncoming lane, and the group's van hit Engelhardt's van in a t bone style. Steeves said no one was hurt. Troopers Kurt Wagenbach and Steeves, both assigned to Brattleboro's barracks, responded to the crash. Steeves said he was unaware that he would meet celebrities on the scene. "I didn't even recognize them actually," Steeves said. "They mentioned that they were on their way to Mount Snow for the Reggae Fest there and they said their band name, and that's when I put two and two together." He later added, "I've definitely watched COPS . and it would be pretty hard to find someone that wouldn't be able to sing you a few lines of the theme song." After the scene was clear, the four member reggae band posed for a picture with Wagenbach and Steeves, state police said. The troopers then contacted Mount Snow, which arranged for taxis to pick up the band members and bring them the rest of the way to the reggae festival, Steeves said. "They were definitely very friendly," Steeves said. "I don't think they get to experience snow too much . and it was snowing at the time, so they were definitely having the total Vermont experience." No citations were issued as a result of the crash, Steeves said. Steeves said the crash was caused by the black ice and because Engelhardt was traveling too fast for the conditions. Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Vermont State Police posted the picture to its Facebook page and Twitter feed on Sunday evening. Inner Circle also posted a photo to its Facebook page.
