Statins, among the most commonly prescribed of medications, are associated with a wide range of musculoskeletal side effects. These include a progressive autoimmune myopathy with anti-HMGCR antibodies that requires immunosuppression. However, it remains unknown whether these antibodies are found in statin users with and without self-limited musculoskeletal side effects; this limits their diagnostic utility. The current work assesses the prevalence of anti-HMGCR antibodies in these groups of statin users.
We determined the prevalence of anti-HMGCR antibodies in (a) 1966 participants (including 763 current statin users) in a sub-study of the community-based Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and (b) 98 French Canadian subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia, including 51 with documented statin intolerance.
No participant in the ARIC sub-study, including those with past or current statin exposure at the time of sample collection, had anti-HMGCR antibodies. Similarly, none of 51 patients with self-limited statin intolerance or 47 statin-tolerant patients on maximal statin therapy were anti-HMGCR positive.
The vast majority patients with and without statin exposure, including those with self-limited statin intolerance, do not develop anti-HMGCR antibodies. Thus, anti-HMGCR antibodies are highly specific for those with an autoimmune myopathy.
Lipid lowering agents are among the most frequently used medications, with nearly 30 million Americans prescribed a statin in 2005 (1). Mild musculoskeletal complaints such as myalgias are common, occurring in as many as 20% of statin users (2), but typically resolve within weeks to months of discontinuing the offending medication. In contrast, recent reports have established that statins can also be associated with development of an immune-mediated myopathy requiring immunosuppressive therapy to control (3–6). Since patients with both self-limited and autoimmune statin-associated myopathy may initially present with myalgias, weakness, and/or elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels (5), a laboratory test to help determine whether a statin-treated patient with musculoskeletal complications has a self-limited condition or will likely require treatment for an autoimmune process would be clinically valuable.
Autoantibodies recognizing 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the pharmacologic target of statins, have been identified in patients with statin-associated autoimmune myopathy (6). However, the prevalence of these antibodies in a large population of statin-exposed subjects has not been determined. Furthermore, it is not known whether patients with self-limited statin-associated myotoxicity produce anti-HMGCR antibodies. These gaps in knowledge limit the diagnostic utility of anti-HMGCR testing. We performed this study to determine whether statin-exposed subjects with and without self-limited statin intolerance also develop anti-HMGCR autoantibodies.
The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study is an on-going community-based prospective cohort study of 15,792 middle-aged adults who were enrolled from 1987–1989. In 2004–2005, 2,006 participants from the original cohort were recruited into the Carotid MRI (CARMRI) sub-study. This sub-study has been described in detail elsewhere (7). The present study included 1,966 ARIC CARMRI participants with sufficient sera for measurement of anti-HMGCR antibodies and non-missing information on current statin use. We also obtained measurements on plasma samples from 98 patients affected by familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) due to LDLR gene mutations evaluated at the Chicoutimi Hospital Lipid Clinic and ECOGENE-21 Clinical Research Center (Chicoutimi, Quebec, Canada), 51 of which presented with signs and symptoms of muscular intolerance to statins. The degree of myalgias and muscular weakness was self-reported by subjects as part of a detailed questionnaire. The clinical evaluation also included plasma creatine phosphokinase (CK) and myoglobinuria assessment. IRB and/or ethics review board approval and participants' written informed consent was obtained from each participant.
We used a previously described anti-HMGCR ELISA test as an initial screening tool (6). Based on quality control analyses comparing anti-HMGCR ELISA titers obtained from plasma and serum samples collected simultaneously from anti-HMGCR positive patients, raw plasma ELISA titers were multiplied by a correction factor of 1.24. Specimens with anti-HMGCR titers greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean of all ARIC CAMRI participants on repeated testing were confirmed by using these samples to immunoprecipitate full-length 35S-methionine–labeled in vitro transcription/translated (IVTT) HMGCR protein as described elsewhere (6).
At the time of blood collection from the ARIC CARMRI study participants, 763 were currently taking a statin drug, 322 other subjects reported using a cholesterol-lowering medication at some point previously during follow-up, and 881 never reported using a cholesterol-lowering medication. Anti-HMGCR titers were determined by ELISA for all ARIC CARMRI participants. The mean titer and standard deviation of the mean titer were 0.109 and 0.086 normalized absorbance units (NAU), respectively. Among all ARIC CARMRI participants, 14 (0.7%) had anti-HMGCR titers greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean (0.367 NAU), including 8 without prior statin exposure. None of these 14 serum samples immunoprecipitated the full-length 35S-labeled HMGCR protein (figure 1). There was no significant difference in the mean anti-HMGCR antibody titers comparing current statin users (0.106 normalized absorbance units) to never users (0.111 normalized absorbance units, p-value =0.300) and to past users (0.098 normalized absorbance units, p-value =0.097).
Plasma samples were obtained from 98 FH patients including 47 statin-tolerant patients on maximal statin therapy and 51 patients with documented muscular signs and symptoms of statin-intolerance having required the cessation of treatment. The clinical characteristics of the statin-intolerant patients are detailed in Table 1. 31 patients experienced myalgias, 17 patients became weak, and 9 patients had CK elevations or myoglobinuria that resolved once statin exposure was discontinued. None of these 98 patients had anti-HMGCR titers greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean of the ARIC CARMRI cohort. The statin-intolerant patients tended to have higher mean anti-HMGCR antibody titers than subjects without statin-intolerance, but this did not reach statistical significance (0.101±0.069 vs. 0.073±0.076 NAU, respectively, p=0.062).
In our initial description of the anti-HMGCR ELISA, we defined a cutoff for normal as greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean value of samples from just 20 healthy subjects (0.215 NAU) (6). Having screened 1966 subjects from ARIC CARMRI, a community-based cohort, we now define a new cutoff value of 0.367 NAU, which represents 3 standard deviations above the mean for this group. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA using this cutoff relative to our gold standard, immunoprecipitation of radiolabeled HMGCR, we compared the ELISA and immunoprecipitation results from 307 consecutive subjects enrolled at the Johns Hopkins Myositis Center as described in our previous publication (6) (Table 2). To summarize, 18 sera immunoprecipitated HMGCR protein and 17 of these sera were positive by ELISA. Conversely, among the 19 sera positive by ELISA, 17 were positive by immunoprecipitation. Thus, the sensitivity and specificity of the anti-HMGCR ELISA are 94.4% and 99.3%, respectively.
In this study, we screened for anti-HMGCR antibodies by ELISA and, in those with titers greater than 3 standard deviations above the mean of the ARIC CARMRI participants, confirmed their presence by the gold standard: immunoprecipitation of full-length HMGCR protein. Definitive anti-HMGCR antibodies were not found in any of the 1966 ARIC CARMRI study participants, including 763 with current statin-exposure and an additional 322 who reported prior exposure to a cholesterol-lowering medication. This demonstrates a very low background prevalence of anti-HMGCR autoimmunity, not only in statin-naïve subjects, but also in those with statin exposure. Similarly, in contrast to patients we have previously described with statin-associated autoimmune myopathy, none of 51 FH subjects with documented self-limited statin myotoxicity were anti-HMGCR positive by ELISA. This indicates that anti-HMGCR autoantibodies are rarely, if ever, found in the general population; this includes the large number who may experience self-limited statin intolerance, such as FH patients, who are generally treated with maximal statin dosage and/or combination therapy.
Although not statistically significant, those FH subjects with statin intolerance tended to have higher anti-HMGCR titers than those who were statin tolerant. The significance of this is uncertain, especially since none of the subjects had titers exceeding the cut-off for normal. Future longitudinal studies will be required to determine whether anti-HMGCR titers increase, albeit within the normal range, in statin-intolerant subjects during the course of statin treatment.
A limitation of our previous study describing the anti-HMGCR ELISA was the small number of controls used to define a normal value for this test (6). We have now screened a much larger population, the ARIC CARMRI cohort, and have been able to better define the normal range of anti-HMGCR titers. Given the new cutoff values, we determined that the sensitivity and specificity of the anti-HMGCR ELISA are 94.4% and 99.3%, respectively. Assuming that anti-HMGCR autoimmune myopathy is rare, with a prevalence of only 1 in 100,000, the negative predictive value of the ELISA test in an unselected population is greater than 0.999. Indeed, even in our specialized myositis clinic where the prevalence of anti-HMGCR autoimmune myopathy is 7 in 100, the ELISA has a negative predictive value of 0.996. Consequently, regardless of the clinical setting, a negative HMGCR ELISA result makes it highly unlikely that a patient has anti-HMGCR autoimmune myopathy that would require immunosuppressive therapy. In contrast, the positive predictive value of the HMGCR ELISA would be only 0.910 in our clinic and 0.001 in an unselected population. This underscores the need, in any setting, to verify a positive ELISA result by performing a confirmatory HMGCR immunoprecipitation assay.
Two major limitations should be considered in the interpretation of these data. First, we do not have sufficient clinical information to exclude the possibility that one or more of the 1966 ARIC subjects had anti-HMGCR autoimmune myopathy. However, this is unlikely given that the approximate prevalence of autoimmune myopathy is 22 per 100,000 (8) and anti-HMGCR antibodies are found in less than 10% of these (6). Second, blood samples from the statin-intolerant patients in the clinic sample may have been collected in some cases after muscle symptoms and laboratory abnormalities had resolved. This raises the possibility that these subjects could have had transient elevations in anti-HMGCR titers that subsequently resolved. Again, this seems unlikely given (a) the known durability of the antibody response in general and (b) our finding that anti-HMGCR antibody titers remain elevated even in well-treated patients with anti-HMGCR myopathy (unpublished result).
In summary, this study demonstrates that anti-HMGCR antibodies are not found in the vast majority of statin-exposed individuals, including those with self-limited statin myopathy. Taken together with our prior studies (5, 6), this indicates that statin-exposed patients who present with myalgias, muscle weakness, and elevated CK levels that test positive for anti-HMGCR antibodies most likely have an autoimmune myopathy requiring immunosuppression. Furthermore, our finding that anti-HMGCR antibodies are not found in those with self-limited statin-associated musculoskeletal side-effects suggests that this represents a distinct pathologic process from statin-associated autoimmune myopathy.

george and allyson crosby were the most incredible owners at a b&b that we have ever experienced! They met us at the foot of the stairs at exactly 9:00 a.m. (our chosen time for their gourmet breakfast) and personally sat us at a beautiful cozy table in a totally decked out dining room. Beautiful music played softly and candles were lit as they brought out a breakfast fit for a queen and my king!!!!! The setting was Christmas and yet wonderfully romantic. The food they themselves prepared was out of this world.
That same evening, after spending a day in one of the most beautiful towns in America, we went back to our room for a wonderful, romantic evening in the private jacuzzi tub and sauna in our room. A trip I will cheerish forever........friends in George and Allyson I will also cheerish for the rest of my life. I plan on keeping in touch with them forever. They felt like friends I had known forever.
I have vacationed in Ouray since the 60"s and I will say this was by far the best time ever....Thanks to George and Allyson...Thanks to them and I hope they never get too busy to see us again!!!!

Donate to our end of financial year appeal
The Coalition's proposal to reduce the corporate tax rate will result in a significant loss of tax revenue and, in turn, will have a significant impact on the budget balance.
A new report from The Australia Institute explores what the petroleum industry can do to simultaneously pursue its financial interests and the interests of the global climate.
The report examines 6 highly controversial QLD resource projects and reveals a pattern of political donations, remarkable access to ministers, unaccountable lobbying, cash for access, and the revolving door between the bureaucracy and industry.
Report reveals a web of political donations, special access and secret lobbying behind controversial mining projects.
Adam Giles, Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, should know better than making solar and wind the scapegoat for energy price rises ('Call for summit on energy crisis', 18 July).
Reporter Michael Owen was a little too emotive when he described renewable energy as 'untrustworthy' ('Warning of an energy crisis to hit nation', 16 July). The accepted term is 'variable' and it has become clear that our energy system can readily handle high levels of variable generation.
The folk who predicted the carbon price would give us $100 legs of lamb, that China's demand for coal would keep rising, and that NSW would run out gas are at it again. Wind energy, we are now told, is ruining the economy. Run for the hills!
There have been a lot of big claims made about cutting company tax cuts.
The Australia Institute has looked at the evidence and our research suggests that the 'jobs and growth' claim doesn't stack up. What is clear is that cutting the company tax rate will put a very big, permanent and growing hole in the nation's budget bottom line. This policy will cost Australia billions, that is certain, and where that money will end up - or who wins? We summarised our research in this short TV commercial:
Between 29 February and 8 March 2016 The Australia Institute conducted a national opinion poll of 1412 people, through Research Now, with nationally representative samples by gender, age and state or territory.
The poll asked "Which, if any, of the following government ministers have you heard of?" Names of politicians names were presented, in randomised order, and respondents could select as many as they had heard of, or select "none".
Results are presented in the pdf below, sorted by response rate.
New polling released by The Australia Institute shows that a majority of Australian voters (63.4%) want Tony Abbott to retire, including half (50.9%) of Coalition voters.
"Across all demographics, gender and voting intentions the electorate think the former prime minister should retire," said Executive Director of The Australia Institute, Ben Oquist.
"While that is obviously a matter for him, it looks like the public has moved on from Abbott-era policies and is looking for something new."

Angels 4, Mariners 3
ANAHEIM Torii Hunter really wants an extension — into October.
Trying his best to extend the Angels' season beyond next week — and, in the process, pry a new contract from the Angels — Hunter drove in two clutch runs for the Angels on Wednesday night, tying the score with an RBI single in the seventh, then driving in the winning run with another RBI single as the Angels walked off with a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
The victory kept the Angels from slipping further behind in the wild-card race. Baltimore, Oakland and Tampa Bay all won.
Mariners ace Felix Hernandez came in winless in his first four starts this month with only two victories in 14 career starts at Angel Stadium and a losing record against the Angels overall.
The Angels had reason to believe their run of success against him might continue. They got to Hernandez for two runs in the second inning, seeming to have him on the ropes with Erick Aybar's two-run double.
But Hunter grounded out to end that threat and Hernandez retired 13 of the final 15 batters through six innings.
By the time Mariners manager Eric Wedge opted to end Hernandez's night after just six innings and 103 pitches, the Mariners had taken a one-run lead against Angels starter C.J. Wilson.
The capricious left-hander retired the first six Mariners, needing just 22 pitches. But he threw 48 in the next two innings while allowing six of the next 10 batters to reach base on three walks, two singles and a solo home run by Justin Smoak that gave the Mariners a 3-2 lead in the fourth.

As mentioned, there are about 60-70 percent of the sites occupied by seasonal full timers with others open to daily traffic. All of the sites were shaded to some extent, so no satellite service. The access roads are gravel with the exception of the paved road that goes up to the pool area. Very nice, huge pool with plenty of chairs and a couple umbrellas for shade. The sites on B and C rows could use some more gravel to take up some of the "squish" after it gets wet. Escorted to the site and good access as we were able to leave the towed vehicle hooked up for the overnight stay. The oppressive heat did take it's toll on the electrical system with voltages dropping to around 105V on some lines. The office recommended coming in from the west on the entrance road and going out the same way. Ask for directions if it's not clear. - Good Vibes

Previous reviews are largely accurate. I had the misfortune of timing in needing to stay there over Memorial Day weekend, which jacked up the price to places even KOA wouldn't go. They did squeeze me in after saying they were full, based on the size of my trailer. The campground is a destination for many folks, so my need for just a place to stay for two days didn't warrant the price I had to pay and, given other choices, I wouldn't have stayed there. That said, they were nice and didn't enforce their three day minimum over the holiday weekend. Still I had the feeling that they were squeezing a buck out of a camping spot that they couldn't have otherwise filled. Clearly they are popular and charge accordingly. Next time, I will look for a place that is more value oriented. No real complaints though. I was grateful to get a spot. - Corno1

Rice Lake State Park is quiet and restful. That is one of the reasons why we like it so much. The other reason it has many different hiking trails, walking in woods, next to the lake, or on open prairie. There are not any hills so it is all pretty level. We see many different types of birds, waterfowl, as well as deer. The campground has two loops, A loop is all non-electric and B loop, electric. The restroom and showers are located in A loop and are kept stocked and clean. I would not recommend this campground for people who have big rigs. Most sites are shaded with the exception of a few sites in B loop where you will get full afternoon sun. There are waterfront sites available but they are for walk-in tenting only. If you do like to tent these sites are very nice! Since this is a state park with majority of it forested do expect mosquitos and ticks while out hiking the trails. Also, during duck season, hunting is allowed. If you do decide to camp during duck season be prepared to hear the noise of gun shots and would be to your advantage to stay away from trails along the lake. - meriflower

Spots are almost always available here. However, very few sites are sufficiently level for a motorhome. On the B loop (electric loop) site 20 is the best for a MH followed by 19, 18 and 17. The others are either too small or too tilted to level without your wheels hanging in the air. There is no dump station at this park any more. Showers and restrooms are in the non-electric "A" loop, are old and dark but kept clean. Nice hiking trails but the woods are very buggy - big flies and hungry mosquitos abound. Poor cell phone coverage in the campground. Most sites don't have good "run around" room for kids - Site 20 has a great "back yard" though. We'd stay here again for an overnighter if we needed a place, but we would not think of this as a "destination" for a week. (Most needed improvement is to regrade sites to be more level side to side and front-to-back. ) - AndersonFamily

Stopped here for just a quick overnight so I don't have a whole lot to comment on. The facility is a few minutes down some side roads from the interstate but it was easy to find and the distance made for a quiet evening. The 2 gentlemen that greeted us were very nice and one escorted us to our site with a light and made sure we were parked ok. Sites are mostly gravel and grass and the one we had was good and level (which was nice since we got in so late - we didn't have to deal with leveling). Full hook ups worked fine. As mentioned, there are a lot of seasonals here, but their sites were all nicely maintained. Again, just a quick in and out for us so I cannot speak for activities, but it was a great place for an overnight and we'd definitely use this campground again if we come through the area. - R.T.

This is mostly a seasonal site campground. Many campers here with permanent decks, porches, etc. Large activity area for games. Fire pits and picnic tables. Off the road next to farm fields. Appears to be an older campground, but they've done some repaving work to the office area and it looks nice. We had a large but uneven site for the night. Water and 30amp electric only. It was a handy over night stop that was quiet. - PegL

Campground was nice, bathhouses were clean. Sites weren't level, needed jacks. Pull thru sites available for big rigs. Mostly seasonal and park models filling the campground at one end. Family run. If looking for social time they do have Bingo and BBQ dinners at certain time of year. Everyone who was there seemed to know each other and liked it that way. Easy in and easy out. - trvlgminis

We stayed at this campground on a weekend in August. They had everything you needed, but it was overly crowded. The sites are SUPER close together, you got absolutely NO privacy. I have to say though I was really impressed with the employee out front who went out of his way to help us back into our spot. I think this is overall a great place for kids. We liked that they had a dance, wagon rides, pool and water slides, etc. They had everything you would want for kids. There isn't much for adults to do at all so I can't really comment on that. I would suggest if you are couple without children, find a different campground. I am avoiding staying there again due to it being too crowded. - CampMamaOf3
Jul 2015 - $55.00
Very nice clean park. I have stayed there several times and the kids enjoy the pool very much. I will visit again. The sites were fairly close together, but they were nice and shaded. There are a couple of very large playgrounds, shuffle board, horseshoes, mini-golf and basketball to keep everyone entertained. There is also a nice bike/walking trail that goes around the lake. You do have to cross the highway to get to the lake, but it is well worth it. - MankatoJohn

This is a nice campground with gravel streets and pads, but nice grass areas between sites. We were escorted to our pull-through site on row L, which was good because the streets are a little narrow. The park is very busy, being across the street from a lake, and has many amenities and activities for kids. We would consider staying in this park again if we are in the area. - SMorin

This is a small friendly park. The owner came out to help us pull forward as the site was uphill a bit. Our site was quite large and had trees for shade. We were only there for two nights, but I had stayed there once before and came back because of the wonderful staff. - gail klugman
Jun 2015 - $38.00
I want to be fair, because the people seemed friendly enough, including fellow campers, but for $38 a night, I don't think it's too much to expect to not have to drive through and trek through mud. It evident that no one has spent a dime on gravel in too many years, and I understand that it rained the night before, but seriously. The interior roads were all muddy (not "get stuck muddy", just standing water and sloppy, sandy mud). We had to park our car across the road from our site, so were forced to gingerly pick our way back and forth, leaving our shoes off at our door. The site was fairly level, didn't use the water hookup, but I just feel that the price should have been down around $20-25 a night, considering the site and road conditions. - chixs

Wow, where do I start? They charged us 335.00 for 4 nights. The water pressure very poor. The water comes out cloudy. You can get a large rig in there, but its stressful due to the s curve driveway and many uncut trees. The park is small and dirty. The owner treated us very poorly. We were lied to when we pulled in; then she tried to say we were the liars. I did not feel comfortable at all. We had to park our truck on the playground because there was no room. Then when they started to fill up it was really bad. Kids running around your camper; then they rode their bikes around our camper. Our sewer tube was on an up hill; needless to say it did not work well. We felt this park is one step up from a trailer park - lynelle

The owners were friendly and nice. The campground was clean. Sites with full hookups are basically set up in a field, but the electric/water sites are nicely shaded and spaced apart. The pool was a favorite with the kids. With a bit of building and grounds work, this place could be one of the best private campgrounds in the area. - dansophem

This campground was quiet and well maintained. The pool was fairly new at the time that we were there and it was a great place for just a quick quiet retreat. Mosquitos were a bit bad along the river sites but those were the only sites with shade. The open sites next to the pool did not seem to have quiet as bad a mosquito problem but they did not have any shade. This campground definitely isn't fancy but there is a lot of open room for the pets to run and it does border the Cannon River which is great for canoeing and kayaking. Overall, we would go again as staff was friendly and campground was quiet. - bjohnson2002

This is a small RV Park that is being built one site at a time. There are about 30 sites with full hookups and 50amp service. Sites are gravel with a nice grass area. There are a handful of sites that are cement but these are owned by seasonals with small nice looking sheds on them. They are building a rec center with bathrooms and laundry room, this will probably be open next year. There is a nice pond here with a path cut where you can walk around it. The owners were friendly. Right now you have to be completely self contained. No cable but you can get a number of stations over the air. The biggest negative is that it is very close to I-35 and the road noise was loud. Because of the noise we will not return. - rv4rob
Aug 2013 - $17.00
Good park, great owners always working on the park. Park has about 20 sites with full hookups at this point. Concrete sites are owned; the daily, weekly, monthly sites are sand base with good level gravel that drains well. Private lake with catch/release and good walking trail around it. Some road noise but not bad. Finally: you MUST be self-contained as there is NO toilet/showers nor store yet. Owners still waiting for state to OK permits as of 8-26-13. We will come back as it is quiet here. - xarmoreddriver

This was our first trip of the season. The campground is well laid out with adequate privacy. Public facilities were clean and well maintained. There were private shower rooms available.

Nerstrand State Park is one of the closest parks to the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul that offers camping facilities. The park is sited on roughly 1400 acres of land originally platted as 20 acre woodlots for the farmers who settled the surrounding area. The land is unremarkable except for a small waterfall on an unnavigable river. Recent park management has emphasized development of the trail system. The campground is unchanged since the 1970s except for the removal water supplies to individual campsites in accordance with current statewide park policy. Electric is 30a only. Sites are more closely spaced than most other state parks. The park is located away from major roads and provides a quiet, secluded environment with a trail system that crosses a variety of ecological niches, prairie and forest. Despite the lack of a focal point and the somewhat dated campground design and facilities, the park offers an enjoyable weekend getaway close to the cities. - Jammer
May 2010 - $22.00
This is a State Park that has so much to offer. It has miles of hiking trails, a nice water fall that is just a short hike from the campground. It has a playground and geo caching. It is very quiet and wooded. We stayed in site 7 because we did not have reservations but it was a nice site and would stay there again. We will be back. If you are planning on a weekend in the summer make sure you have reservations or get there early enough to get a non reservable site. - PackerFanRick

I drove through all the loops to see what the campground is like but did not stay overnight because all sites were full. We did spend the day at a picnic site. Sakatah Lake state park has two main attractions: the state trail that passes through the park, and the upper and lower Sakatah lakes which adjoin the park. The campground area has full tree cover and mature understory vegetation screening the sites from each other. Sites are short and narrow with boulders and trees limiting turning space. Many if not most spaces cannot accommodate slide outs. The campground appears to have been laid out primarily with tent camping in mind. Most sites have a flat, level area for a tent adjacent to a parking area that is sloped. The site-by-site parking pad lengths on the park reservations web page appear to be accurate if not optimistic and include all usable space between the road and major obstructions like trees. Rigs exceeding these lengths just won't fit at all. Due to the heavy vegetation and standing water there are bugs. Despite its drawbacks, the campground is usually full on weekends during the camping season. - Jammer
Jul 2009 - $15.00
We loved this park for its private, small camp sites perfect for tenters and small RVs. It is right on the Sakatah Bicycle Trail it also has some bicycling camping areas. It is not really suitable for big rigs as the turnarounds are tight and sites are kind of small. The Rangers and park assistants are very helpful and friendly. The lake after June will probably get very green from the farm fertilizer cooking up the algae. Boaters should try Elysian down State Route 60. It is a big lake and cleaner. - TinCanTraveler
Apr 2007 - $15.00
There are 4 loops, total of 62 sites. 48 non-electric and 14 electric. All sites are wooded and are shady. Some sites tend to be sloped side-to-side. People with big RV's or slides may have trouble as most sites are narrow with boulders lining the spur. Sites are primarily dirt, no grass. During summer months there are tons of mosquitos as there is a lot of areas within the park that has standing water. This park tends to be very busy as it is close to the Minneapolis/St. Paul cities. You also do hear traffic morning, noon and night as it is next to a highway. - meriflower

Attractive family oriented park near a lake. We had a long pull-through site that had 50 amps ($2 extra) and a concrete pad with a picnic table. Staff is friendly. WiFi is free and worked adequately. Attractions in the park are apparently popular enough to push the owners to impose extra fees for visitors ($3 for children and $5 for adults). Extra fees are also imposed for sewer, water-electric, cable TV, children, and weekends. Water pressure is 60psi. We enjoyed our stay here in spite of the high cost. - Roger H.

Their showers and bathrooms were kept neat and clean and we had a great time. We will definitely be going back to Minnesota and Kamp Dels! - nutbomb44

A trip to Beaver Creek is not complete without a visit to Splendido. They really know top notch service, great food and an overall amazing experience. The food is excellent - the seasonally changing menu has something for everyone. We always enjoy the foie gras and the cote de bouef. The atmosphere is great - a roaring fire in the lobby and a lovely pianist in the bar. The dining room is always packed but it isn't overly loud - certainly a great spot for a special night out.

11 Adorable Kids Experiencing First Love for Valentine's Day
We usually think that kids are too young to understand our grown-up versions of love. In fact, many would argue a person doesn't fully understand love well into adulthood. But, as proved by adorable kids on YouTube, the innocence and sincerity of those first inklings of love can be the sweetest and most endearing of all.

Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia: Provide a table for Bitch Please: Trans Woman Distro at the 2013 Zine Fair
Bitch Please: Trans Woman Distro provides the community with access to political and creative works made by trans women. In both wider society as well as queer and trans communities, trans women's voices are often ignored or de-prioritised in favour of other people's ideas about our lives, bodies and experiences. The MCA Zine Fair is an excellent opportunity for us to bring some vital resources to a large audience and challenge commonly held assumptions about us. This is an important political and educational project.
We are shocked that we have been rejected from participating this year and call on the MCA to provide a table for our organisation at the 2013 zine fair.

(RNS) In South Carolina, three black Methodist denominations launched a plan to host Saturday academies nationwide to mentor young black males.
In Chicago, black Baptists announced they would raise $50 million for health clinics, schools and reconstructed churches in earthquake-devastated Haiti.
And in Miami, African-American Baptists, Methodists and Pentecostals decided to re-establish a Conference of National Black Churches to work together on health disparities, economic empowerment and social justice.
Recent months have seen a resurgence of interdenominational relations in some of the nation's most prominent predominantly black churches. While some are responding to the tragedy in Haiti and others are trying to revive long-term efforts to help black communities, they all say they've determined they can do more together than any one group could do by itself.
"If we can make a difference with black men in our communities, it will affect the whole community," said Bishop Carolyn Tyler Guidry, president of the Council of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the denominations that met at the black Methodist summit in Columbia, S.C.
"It will affect families--black families in particular--when their men are not incarcerated or on drugs."
Members of the AME Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church met in early March to plan the academies that will train youth in job preparation and study skills.
Just weeks before, leaders of those three denominations met with black Baptists and leaders of the Church of God in Christ to restart and slightly rename the now-defunct Congress of National Black Churches.
The former organization, which closed in 2003, had a key role in helping rebuild Southern black churches burned in a spate of arsons in the 1990s.
The CNBC's absence, combined with cyclical leadership changes, meant some black denominational leaders lost touch with one another, said the Rev. W. Franklyn Richardson, chair of the new Conference of National Black Churches.
"There was no communication between the denominations," he said, "even though we had common interests and common agendas."
Now, he said, the denominations--with a combined membership of more than 21 million--hope to partner with groups like the Children's Defense Fund and the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network on AIDS, education, social justice and economic development.
"Denominations are so absorbed in trying to sustain ... their specific mission that no denomination has the resources to take on education by itself or to take on social justice by itself," said Richardson, a Baptist pastor in Mount Vernon, N.Y., who also chairs Sharpton's network.
The Rev. Stephen Thurston, president of the National Baptist Convention of America, said the gravity of a tragedy like the earthquake in Haiti prompted the leaders of five black Baptist churches to join forces for their five-year project.
"All the denominations are already active and involved in responding to the country of Haiti but together we can, of course, do more," said Thurston, who helped announce the project at his Chicago church in early March.
The Rev. Staccato Powell, who chaired the black Methodist summit in South Carolina, said African-American faith groups are taking responsibility for the challenges in the black community in ways that might not be as effective when they work with predominantly white denominations.
"Their passion is not the same because they don't have the same issues at stake as we do," he said. "Their children are not being carted off to prison by busloads. ... This is about the survival of our people."

Bought 4 LUX cinema tickets for about $170 off the top of my mind. Couldnt make the session so got told it is possible to change it to another day, then on that day i could call up and change the session suitable for us.

A few years since my last visit to Hoyts at Entertainment Quarter, the place was just like when I left it! There seems to be no changes whatsoever at the place, and the chairs in the cinema that we went in seem like they need a lot of scrubbing and extreme cleaning that we were watching a movie that hasn't been long at the cinemas. One exception, though. The cinema is ...read more
The La Premiere is a must on a tuesday! The staff are great and let us take the popcorn tins and big soft drink containers you get normally and refill. This is great as it saves us filling up 4 times! Free popcorn and Free drink when you go la premiere. The only annoying this (why i didn't give 5 stars) is the stairs and location of the cinema in relation to the lounge.
Always enjoy movies here, however they are quite expensive (although I guess most cinemas are these days). Comfortable seats, lots movies to choose from, and they play the movies at good times such as having an 8:40pm option (compare to others which have 9:30pm). Recommend taking your own water to avoid paying $5.40 for a bottle - rip off. I like ...read more
When people say that this cinema has everything, they are absolutely right. I've been to this cinema numerous times and I can confirm that the this place ranges from the spacious, near-state-of-the-art La Premiere cinemas, up to the ones with smelly, soggy-chairs that usually play movies soon to travel to oblivion. One thing that disturbs me the most is the absence of ...read more
Attended Harry Potter in the small cinema last week for a corporate function and the service and food was surprisingly good. From the waiting staff at the door with a smile and drinks, to the high quality finger food pre-show. Much better than I expected, a great way to see a movie.
WOW! What a night out! We were treated like stars on opening night at the upstairs Screening Room. The bar staff were friendly, the drinks kept coming, the food was delicious oh, and the movie was also great (Harry Potter 7). A great night out made more special by excellent service and attention to detail. Thanks also to TrueLocal...! :)
Great place for a corporate function, went to one there tonight & they have a special area ('studio 12') with specialised staff, nice snacks, range of drinks. The cinema is a nice 'friendly' size, I'm guessing it fits about 30 people with comfy seats & a table to put your drinks on.

This is my second Beretta Auto. My first one (A309) was bought in 1985 and i have shot well over 100,000 rounds from trap, skeet, doubles, international doubles, water fowl, and upland game birds. I had 1 failure (that i can remember) with it and it was an OLD shell that i should never have tried to fire anyway. I expect my Extrema 2 to last me as long with no misfires. For those of you who dont know how realiable a Beretta Auto is, you will just need to buy one for yourself. They truly are amazing!

Well you see, I don't have my gaming pc yet, which I will be getting next year. And if you don't care about graphics, then why don't you go back to the N64. I heard they have good games and they aren't bugged and don't require 50 patches like most releases do these days.

BUT then again...
Graphics don't make a game and that's a retarded outlook to videogames. Gameplay is one of the many parts to make a game as well as the content and how long the overall package can keep someone entertained.
Though I have seen a lot of people praise RAGE's graphics and as much as I loved that game, crysis and crysis 2 on Xbox still have far superior graphics, but again, it doesn't make the game. I enjoyed RAGE to the very end and went through 3 or 4 playthroughs, enjoying it everytime.
Thanks for the insight Reverend Knowitall, but have you ever played Quake 4 on the 360? Do you realize how shitty that game runs on this system?
Graphics and the ability for a system to run a game go hand in hand. Graphics don't make or break a game, but it does immerse you deeper into it, making it a better experience.
So I look down on you for wanting better graphics? No, I look down on you because you're content with accepting years-old technology. You're a casual gamer and I despise casual gamers because they are ruining gaming in general. Look at every CoD that comes out every year for example.

Avoid Orlando Thrifty Car Rental at all costs!! I booked a week long rental for my wife for $125. When she arrived close to midnight, she explicitly said that she wanted to decline all options but the agent rushed her through the rental and never removed the options. She questioned why the estimate was now close to $300 and was told that this was just a credit card authorization and would not be a charge. When she reached the car, she noticed that it absolutely reeked of smoke (despite a smoke free guarantee). When she returned the car (which she filled up just before arriving at the airport), she was charged $306, which included a fuel penalty for not return the car on a full tank. They never responded to my email inquiries and were rude and dismissive on the phone. This is not an honest operation. There are much better car rental options.

I had my car in the shop twice and both times I tried to schedule a rental from Thrifty in Mountain Home. Both times they did not have vehicles available even though the lot was full. It made no sense not to rent a vehicle that had little chance of being sold for just two days. Poor management.

With the game tied at five in the top of the tenth inning and Jeremy Barnes on first, Jack Murphy hit a long fly ball over the fence in right field to give the semi-final win to the Canberra Cavalry, driven by Rolfe Renault, 9-5. The Cavalry beat the champions of the Korean Baseball Organisation, the Samsung Lions. The win catapults the Cavalry to the Grand Final of the 2013 Asia Series.
The game started quickly for the Cavalry with the Australian Baseball League champions jumping out to a 5-2 lead through four innings. But the Lions would not go quietly into the night. They put three runs on the board in the bottom of the fifth to tie the score, and it stayed that way until the tenth inning.
The Cavalry bullpen was fantastic, with Jeff Lyman pitching three shutout innings to keep the game tied going into the top of the tenth.
Then it was all up to Jack. Jack had been struggling all tournament; having only one hit and hitting into seven double plays, but with the count full, he found his pitch to hit.
"It was a great feeling," the catcher said. "I knew right when I hit it that it was gone. This was the biggest home run of my career."
Aaron Sloan doubled in two additional runs after Jacks big home run, to make the score 9-5, and the Sean Toler took the mound and shut the door on the Lions.
"It was a great night," Cavalry Manager Michael Collins said. "Everyone contributed and I am proud of every member of this team. We still have work to do, but we are going to enjoy this one tonight.
Other top performers on the evening include Barnes who went 5-5 and Jon Berti who stole three bases.
The Cavalry will play the winner of the Uni Lions (Taiwan Champions) and the Rakuten Eagles (Japan Champions) on Wednesday night.
After the Asia Series, the Cavalry return home to Canberra to face the Brisbane Bandits for a three day four game series. The Bandits were swept over the weekend by the Sydney Blue Sox, so they will be coming to town looking to rebound. Tickets to see the history making Cavalry from the 22nd - 24th are available at canberracavlary.com.au/tickets or by calling (02) 6295 8379
