LUCAS, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas art gallery is hosting a show and benefit auction of decorative toilet seats to raise funds for a new public restroom.
The Flying Pig Studio and Gallery in Lucas is holding the Great
Toilet Seat Art Show and Silent Auction Saturday during the Annual
Adam's Apple Festival in the Russell County town. Selected toilet
seats will be sold at silent auction through Oct. 3.
Ceramic artist Eric Abraham is displaying more than 40 decorative toilet seats on the walls of the galley, which he owns and operates. The seat designs include a sharp-toothed alligator and another covered with barbed wire with a warning to "Sit Lightly.''
Plans call for the restroom to be named "Bowl Plaza'' with buildings shaped like toilet tanks and entrances resembling a toilet seat. A walkway will look like an unfurling roll of toilet paper.

Vegas Dealer
Average Salary: $20,210
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $844,000
We've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news first: the base salary for a gaming dealer—even one in a gambling mecca like Vegas—is incredibly low. You're typically making minimum wage on a part-time basis, which means your paycheck is smaller than some of your customers lose on one hand. We're talking $18,630 nationally, with slightly better earnings on the Vegas Strip (source).
The good news is you don't do this because of your hourly wage, you do it because of the generous tips of the players at your table. Much like the restaurant service industry, your paid salary isn't where you make most of your money.
Even though gamblers play to win cash, you'll find that most of them are actually pretty generous when it comes to taking care of their dealer. There are a lot of superstitions involved in the "sport," and one of those is that the good karma from tipping will lead to better cards or bigger wins.
It's kind of like a spiritual bribe—the best part being you really don't have any control over the outcome of the game. The player is just hoping that your chi does.
A player will often toss the dealer a buck or two each time they scoop a small pot (a.k.a. the chips on the table). On a large pot, you could get tipped twenty, fifty, even a hundred dollars and up on a single hand.
Tips are collected in toke boxes. The dealers' tips are then pooled together and counted to calculate how much tip-age you're owed based on the number of hours you worked. After all is said and done, you might make as much in tips as you do from your employer, meaning that you're really raking in at least $40,000, occasionally reaching up to $70,000 a year (source). Not bad for helping people sit around playing games all day.

My husband and teen daughter and I recently spent 3 nights at the Dana in San Diego. Our room was in the watertower building. The hotel room was just as nice as the internet picure if not nicer. The room was extremely clean and very modern and functional. We loved the balcony overlooking Mission Bay. The beds were very comfortable with nice bedding. The front desk service was very efficient and friendly. The maid service was also very effecient. The shuttle service to Sea World and to and from Amtrak was very prompt. The drivers were both very friendly and helpful. We will definately be back to stay at this wonderful hotel when in San Diego

Here we are at another Thanksgiving, with so much to be thankful for.
We can be thankful, for sure, that the hurricane season has gone by and the next big weather events will probably only involve challenges with snow and ice.
My experience is that we usually keep our power after winter storms. It's the fall events, hurricanes, early snows and nor'easters, that claim the most power outage victims. Let's hope that holds true this winter.
We can be thankful the election is over.
It's encouraging that in the post-election world there is talk of compromise on both ends of the political spectrum.
And even if we go over the fiscal cliff, a new Congress gets seated in January and will negotiate with a confident president who never has to be re-elected again.
We can be thankful that the country is so full of happy marriages.
I can only assume that if the head of the Central Intelligence Agency can't pull off a secret affair, not many other people can either.
It must be that adultery is pretty uncommon, since it seems so hard to get away with it in the age of the Internet. Just ask a recently retired Connecticut weather man.
In New London, we can be thankful that Police Chief Margaret Ackley is so dedicated to the job that she stayed on at her post through Hurricane Sandy, even after being hit in the head with a window. She put an ice pack on her head and soldiered on.
I know some cynical thinkers suggest this is a ploy for the chief to make some new financial claim against the city. But the fact that she stayed on the job after being hit would seem to belie the notion of a significant medical claim in the offing.
Those who don't live in Groton can be thankful this week they don't have a government that invested millions of dollars in a cable television system and then sold it, practically on eBay, for a fire sale price of $150,000.
It's a good thing Groton didn't go into a business that doesn't have a history of being lucrative. Imagine how much more they might have lost.
In New London, residents can be thankful their dysfunctional government hasn't gone away, even with a new mayoral system in place.
How many places give voters a chance to recall at referendum a budget for money that has already been spent. Not only that, but New London voters at the next election next year may get to reject two budgets, the one already spent and the new one being prepared, at the same time they get to vote for or against some of the city officials responsible.
We can be thankful that the craziness of Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping may have reached a peak. It seems like some sense is coming to the tradition.
We can be thankful that the skating rinks have been set up in downtown New London and downtown Westerly. Can spring be far behind if skating has begun?
We can be thankful that the month's biggest obituary was for a junk food.
Everyone in Connecticut can be thankful today we don't have a new senator in Washington with a boat named Sexy Bitch.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

Build Your Own Supergroup
Build and name your own supergroup. Who would be in the band and what would they sound like?
The term "supergroup" was first coined in the '60s for bands like Cream, Blind Faith, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Since then, supergroups of all shapes and sizes have cropped up, from classic rock acts like Journey to folk collectives like The Traveling Wilburys. Sometimes it's a last-ditch effort, like Audioslave's attempt to live off the laurels of Rage Against The Machine. Sometimes it's for charity, like Band Aid, or the fleeting single by Dionne & Friends.
Sometimes, it's just plain surprising. Personally, I was pretty shocked to hear the lineup of the recently formed group Them Crooked Vultures. Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Josh Homme were a no brainer. They've played together before in Queens Of The Stone Age. But Led Zeppelin multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones? I never would have guessed.
Them Crooked Vultures play their song "Elephants" at the Reading Festival in 2009
Most recently, I've been listening to the supergroup Monsters of Folk, which rolled together members of Bright Eyes with M. Ward and My Morning Jacket's Jim James.
M.O.F. perform a studio session of their song, "Temezcal"
So form your own supergroup. Tell us who'd be in it and what it'd sound like. Cross generations, cross genres, alive or dead, we don't care. Someone once told me that they thought Lil' Wayne would have a beautiful voice for folk music.

text: 20.03.2014 – The Dutch and the Belgians have their very own version of the Indonesian Spring roll, called the 'loempia', advises FANTASTIC MAN's globetrotting chef Mr. MAGNUS ÅKESSON. The loempia is not to be confused with any of the many versions of the real Indonesian 'lumpia', which would NEVER contain sliced ham since almost 90 per cent of the Indonesian populace is Muslim. On the larger end of the spring roll spectrum, the loempia is often filled with bean sprouts, chopped omelette and sliced ham. Here is a Dutch snack bar version, the LOEMPIA SPECIAAL, with its rather eccentric addition of a slice of ham and an egg, sunny side up. Special indeed!

That is not only insane, but idiotic to think that is the thought progression. There are people that are murdering this draft, and I really think this regime deserves the benefit of the doubt to have formulated a plan, and give a chance to execute the plan... if this draft doesnt pan out.. then there will be cause for concern... the cause for concern is not the night of the draft. You must have some faith, and confidence that this new group will get things done.
OK. You are entitled to your opinion. But I think they might have said "Lincecum might want more than Stubbs", or "Anderson might want more than Watson." If you refuse to believe that those conversations in no way happened this afternoon, then I think you needOriginally Posted by redssouth
I will give you the following exampleOriginally Posted by redssouth
2004, #1 overall, Matt Bush
No one, and I will repeat, No one thought Matt Bush was the #1 player available in the draft. He however was a cheap signing compared to others.
Why would I not? They're not going to get a bargain in Stubbs, he was too highly regarded to be happy taking less than slot money. I don't know of any later picks that wouldn't have signed for what Stubbs will get.Originally Posted by edabbs44
In the later rounds, other than LaPorta, I'm having a hard time thinking of premium talent that fell strictly due to signability -- and I'm being generous calling LaPorta a premium talent. Now, there are probably guys that were on the board that wouldn't sign for that pick's slot money, for whatever reasons. It's nice to take a few stabs at those guys, but just because a guy demands to be paid more doesn't mean he deserves to be.
You're conditioned by the Reds history to assume that if they don't take the player you want, it's because they're cheap, rather than an honest disagreement over player evaluation. That's fine, but until I see actual evidence of them going cheap, I'll assume the new guys are picking players they want.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
How do you read this statement?Originally Posted by IslandRed
Talking to reporters on a conference call from Austin, Stubbs said he expected to sign quickly.
"The way we've been talking recently, we pretty much came to an agreement that I wouldn't be difficult to sign if I was drafted," he said. "I'm not sure how quick the actually signing will take place. When it comes to negotiations, I'm think all that's pretty much ironed out and I won't be a problem to sign at all."
"The way we've been talking recently led me to believe the Reds are willing to offer fair money and I will sign easily."Originally Posted by edabbs44
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
So to negotiate with a guy before the draft when you have the eighth pick doesn't mean that $ has no bearing on whether this person will be drafted or not?Originally Posted by Cedric
Of course it does. If the guy asks for crazy money you pass on him. I've not argued one time that $$ doesn't play a part in the MLB draft. I've just argued that you can't at any point show evidence as to where Stubbs was picked over a better player on the Reds board.
You can't.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
I remember Homer Bailey saying much the same thing. He wasn't a signability pick and didn't come cheaper. These guys want to sign and get moving.Originally Posted by edabbs44
BTW, let's stick to one board. I'm getting dizzy. I just realized it was you over on Reds Live.Originally Posted by Cedric
Listen, I hope Stubbs does awesome. I really do. I hope the whole draft goes crazy and Cincy has the best farm system b/c of it. Let's just agree to disagree and move on. I can't wait to buy a Stubbs jersey.
It means he's not going to dump his agent, hire Scott Boras and demand to be paid more than the eighth pick of the draft should expect to get. And I expect the Reds will pay what the eighth pick of the draft should expect to get. Remember, we're talking about a guy who's been considered a Top-10 pick for awhile, not a Jeremy Brown that's going to be grateful for whatever is offered. That's not a "cheap-out" pick, particularly when the two guys who were unquestionably worth going over slot in my opinion -- Miller and Hochevar -- were off the board.Originally Posted by edabbs44
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
Stubbs reminds me of a young Jim Edmonds, with the attitude to go with it.

"Florida style ranch house in the country" Sanford Local Custom Tip by Pawtuxet
Sanford Local Customs: 4 reviews and 4 photos
We first lived in a country house when we moved to Florida so many years ago. The homes are generally one story ranch styles houses with terrazo floors and jalousy windows. This house was on the St. John's canal and there were big snakes slithering through the weeds at the water's edge. I loved it out there amongst pines and palms, however. My children were very young... as was I... and it didn't matter how far we were from town. Just lazy sunshine every day.

Speckled trout fishing in Dularge on fire in May
Published: Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 1:49 p.m.
Get ready for some fast and furious speckled trout fishing throughout the entire month of May.
Spawning speckled trout have invaded the coastal waters with big numbers of fish showing up just about everywhere.
Look for some great action on the days leading up to the full moon on Saturday.
Hungry trout should be easy to find along the beaches off Last Island.
The beach really heats up during the month of May with large schools of fish moving in to spawn.
The numerous oil and gas platforms will be loaded with spawning trout and all it will take to locate them is calm seas and clear water.
There are still some good numbers of fish on the inside waters. The lack of rain has resulted in higher than normal salinities and the inland lakes and bays are still producing nice fish. Brown shrimp are plentiful and the trout are in no hurry to head south.
The most important factor in catching fish is the stage of the tide. For species like trout, only a small portion of the tide will produce results. Speckled trout do not like to feed in a very strong tide. I try to target trout at the beginning of the tide before it gets too strong and just before the end of the tide as it starts to lose its intensity.
May is a very good month to target trout with plastic. The trout are very aggressive and live bait is really not needed. I normally dont see a need to switch to live bait until mid June and July. Tantem rigged plastics in your favorite color will work in the surf and at well-heads or platforms scattered throughout the coastal waters.
During fishing trips early last week we caught trout on various colors of artificial minnows. Black/chartreuse, purple/chartreuse, avocado and glow/chartreuse all worked well with hungry trout slamming the lures.
The trout are very nice right now with plenty of 16-21 inches fish being caught on a regular basis.
Most of our catch last Wednesday were big pot-bellied females. They are loaded with eggs and feeding like no tomorrow. It just doesnt get any better.

To change the values you would have to have superuser authority. Open a terminal and do somethings like
sudo chmod 700 /home/user
Remember to change the 700 to the chmod value that you actually want to set. When you run this command it will ask for the administrator password.

This question already has an answer here:
Is there any software that can determine how much more RAM can still be installed on a computer?
This question already has an answer here:
Is there any software that can determine how much more RAM can still be installed on a computer?
marked as duplicate by Dennis, Tog, Breakthrough, Brad Patton, 8088 Apr 28 '13 at 4:31
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Although Hennes answer is technically correct, there are solutions out there. Crucial.com has a memory advisory tool that can tell you with an extremely high degree of accuracy what your computer can support. I have yet to see it give wrong information. It can do this by scanning your system's hardware, as well as having a very large database of hardware manufacturer specifications. With that information, the tool can tell you how much more RAM can be installed, as well as give you a wide variety of possible configurations on how to achieve that.
No, there is no software which will always be able to tell you that.
The maximum RAM is limited by a few things, such as:
That means that software can check which CPU/chipset you have. If that chipset is limited to (for example) 2 GiB then it can correctly state that 'no more than 2 GiB can be used.
However it can not detect the number of physical connection to the memory. Every connection skipped saves the manufacturer some money, but also halves the maximum addressable memory.
There is a balance here, with the manufacturers trying to make board which will satisfy most of there regular customers, without spending more than needed. This might be well below the maximum that the chipset or the CPU can handle and this is not detectable by software.
In other words, if you want to add a lot* of memory then check the manual.
As to sockets and chips (mainly RAM density on the chips):
* Just what a lot is differs per model and per year. But if you want to use ten times as much as most other new computers then check.

Is Doa4 Region Free?
Posted 08 January 2006 - 03:38 AM
Just wondering if DOA4 is region free, JP or US release, i have searched around and some say yes, some say no!
Anyone on here actually got a foreign region version booting in thier console?

doa is not region free....on the front of the case it specifically ssays NTSC on mine
You have to test if a game is region free if it's a US game and region free it says NTSC

I really hope it works. I'll be getting a US release which I'll try on my Jap 360 sometime next week. Should be fine though, I think.
I've read in a few locations (check wikipedia) that when a game works on the EU 360 it won't necassarily work on a Jap. Good luck though. My copy is winging its way to me from Liksang as we speak (US version of course Jap has been confirmed as not region free)
Posted 10 January 2006 - 03:30 AM
Posted 10 January 2006 - 08:56 AM
Wish they had some US 360s over here in China...
Also, I would check Wikipedia, but it's banned over here, so I'm pretty much out of luck on getting any reliable information about that stuff ...but what would be the biggest difference between the 3 boxes? I mean, if a US version works on a PAL version, for example, would the game be coded to specifically NOT work with an Asian console?
Edited by Moribund112, 10 January 2006 - 08:58 AM.
Posted 10 January 2006 - 01:11 PM
And if an encyclopedia site is banned in your country, to be honest, I think you have more things to worry about than playing video games, like where to go after you've defected from that joke of a country.
Edited by Spark, 10 January 2006 - 01:13 PM.
Posted 16 January 2006 - 12:07 PM
Does anyone know if Call of Duty will work on a Jap 360?
Also Spark, wikipedia is banned here...we have a communist government, so it doesn't really work like the United States. Some things are banned and some things aren't, depending on what type of information is in it. If the government thinks it's unsuitable and could contribute to social instability, etc. then it will probably be banned. I don't like it, but who can change it?

I´m trying to figure out how to use threaded comments with my modified "Untheme-two-column" theme, and I am ALMOST there. The only problem is that when I hit "Reply" in a comment, the comment form doesn´t move up to right below the comment I want to reply to, it stays at the bottom of the page. Which looks ok if there is only one comment, but if there are ten, and someone wants to reply to comment number four, they will abruptly be brought down to the bottom of the page when they hit Reply. This bug will make people think that my comments are out of order.
The threaded commenting works anyway, the reply ends up right below the comment I´m replying to.
I added the code I needed to add in the index.php, and simply copied the code in comment.php from the default theme to my current one.
Javascript is turned on.
I am not a code wizard, so I don´t quite know which little snippet of code I need to look for or change to make the form move up. Is there anyone out there who knows?
I´d be ever so grateful.

Casino Files Complaint Against Pao de Acucar to Regulator
Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA filed a complaint against Brazil's largest retailer to the country's securities regulator, according to a filing on its website.
The Saint Etienne, France-based supermarket operator shares control of Cia. Brasileira de Distribuicao Grupo Pao de Acucar with Brazil's Diniz family. Casino last month opposed a proposal to merge Pao de Acucar with Carrefour SA's Brazilian assets. The filing, dated July 26, didn't disclose the details of the claim.
Casino Chairman Jean-Charles Naouri said the proposal was illegal as it violated a 2005 shareholder agreement that giving Casino the option to buy control of Pao de Acucar next year.
An external press office for Casino in Brazil said the group doesn't have a complaint against the Pao de Acucar management and that the filing is for information, without providing details.
Trindade Sociedade de Advogados, the law firm representing Casino on the complaint, didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Pao de Acucar didn't immediately return calls and e-mails from Bloomberg News. Brazil's securities regulator can't provide details on the complaint, said an official, who asked not to be identified citing internal policy.
Shares in the Brazilian retailer fell 1.2 percent to 65.00 reais at the market close in Sao Paulo, while the benchmark Bovespa index dropped 2.1 percent. Casino fell 2.3 percent to 60.23 euros at the market close in Paris.

This RV park is very rundown. The roads are rutted, the trees untrimmed, the restrooms barely acceptable. The cable TV and WiFi both worked very well at our site. For one night it was okay but I wouldn't stay here again. - nm roadtreker
Jul 2012 - $35.00
I don't know what I was thinking, but I forgot to check RV Park Reviews before I pulled into this place. As previous reviews stated, this place is a dump, but I'll start with what's good. Easy access off I-95 but DO NOT TRUST GPS. There is a National Guard training site down in town called Camp Niantic that signs will lead you to. Also, the address in the mapping software is 271 Main Street, and that will lead you to a waterfront clothing boutique. When you come off the Interstate, hang a RIGHT at the T on 156 and they're just up the hill on the right. Whoever made my reservation could have mentioned this, the elderly owner lady sure knows about it. The area is fantastic, Mystic Seaport and New London waterfront are really cool. Wi-Fi is working (on it now) and I'm not real close to the office. We're in a 40' coach and in a pull through site, no access problems but some of the sites are pretty tight. Now, the bad. Trash everywhere, too many run down seasonal campers, roads suck, office building is falling down around them, office helper was drunk at 8pm when I went to pay (cash only), really bad for $35 a night, and they charge you another $4 if you use your A/C. The owner turned 77 the day we checked in, her husband the builder and founder died years ago and the place is just falling apart. She told me they've been open for 38 years, and I bet it was a great place for a long time, but it needs to be completely re-done with all new infrastructure and buildings. The trees are worth keeping, that's about it. - Florida Don
May 2012 - $40.00
STAY AWAY - Unless you like white trash camping. First thing you notice when you drive up is Trash Everywhere and nothing is maintained. Level 2 FAIL = the Office/rec room/ arcade, The overwhelming smell of Cat urine will overcome you and burn your nose hairs. The bathrooms are not maintained or clean. Level 3 FAIL = the roads are washed out and very close to each other, close as if your neighbor farts in his camper, you will hear it. Level 4 FAIL = aside from having only grey water site disposal it is only set up at every other site, The water pressure is so poor we had to use our in coach pump to assist it. The Cable is sparse and poor reception more than likely due to the direct burial cable line that aren't meant to be. The power is a 30 amp hook up but obviously has a draw coming from the source because it never got to that in voltage by my tester and will not allow you to run a A/C if you wanted to without melting some wires. The elderly woman in her late 70's to early 80's that owns and runs it is obviously overwhelmed or doesn't realize the level of dilapidation that has happened to this once probably very nice campground. THE ONLY TAKE CASH, NO CREDIT CARDS OR CHECKS, Not worth the $40-$50 they are charging for a rate, more like $20-$25 is more realistic. "HAPPY CAMPING" - RetMilitaryGuy

We have gone to this campground for a couple years and plan to go for at least one weekend a year. The beach has two sides, one side is deeper than the other side which was great for the kids. - microjenn79

This is right off I-95 between New Haven and New London and is situated on the Long Island Sound. Easy off and on. We camped here for one night since we were so close to home in RI. There are 160 wooded and open sites located in five sites. We were in Osprey loop and it was very nice. There were only 11 other sites taken because it was during the week. The campground had been full for the holiday weekend before. Our site was well shaded. You can ride bikes down to the beach and along the refuge - interesting. It cost us $33 because we were from out of state - expensive for dry camping. They also charge you $3.00 for a reservation fee even if you don't make a reservation. There is concession, dump station, showers, salt water fishing and swimming. No pets are allowed. There was an incident during the evening with one of the campers about ten sites away from us and the rangers, local and state police came quickly and removed the person camping. I think he had too much of something! Leaving the next morning the check in lady says nothing like that ever happens here. I was impressed how they handled the problem and how quickly it was resolved. - gsnakehill

Nice - Very Clean Park, Military,Disabled & Disabled Veteran Friendly. Staff is incredibly Friendly,Sites are very accessible and well groomed. They don't have any Water Sewer or electric hook ups, But do offer clean rest rooms, showers and Convenient Dump Station near the main entrance. Every site has picnic table and fire pit/ring, you can have a generator but if its not rate "quiet - 55 decibels or less you have to shut it off for sleepy time. Large field to enjoy games and other things, and it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to Rocky Neck Beach. Great Location, Great Rate for the amenities, they would have gotten a 10 if they had water/sewer/power. - RetMilitaryGuy

We camped the last week of July. Easy access off of Route I-95. The roads and sites are gravel, so there is some dust when people drive past. It rained and there was good drainage. The bathrooms were very clean. No A/C in any facility. It costs .25 for a 7 min. shower. The laundry room has 6 washers and 6 dryers. The game room was lacking. No activities for kids.Staff was friendly and helpful. - shar1435

This is a gated park on a busy road. The roads are gravel/dirt. The sites are gravel/dirt and are mostly level. The cable at our site (40) was not working. Our neighbors had good service. Management was not helpful in resolving this issue. We had no tv problems before or after this stop. The wifi was very weak and probably should not be listed on the website. Some of the long term sites in the rear were a bit messy. - Michael47

This RV park is in a nicely maintained grassy, green setting with level, gravel pull-thru sites and gravel access roads. The hookups are very good and there is a nice swimming pool. It is convenient to I-95 and it was easy to maneuver within the park with our 43 foot fifth wheel. The WiFi was fair. The gravel access roads make for dusty conditions. This park would be a lot more desirable if the access roads were paved. There is recycling available, on site, with the exception of paper. We would likely stay here again if we were in the area. - Byron Bailey

This RV parking was enthusiastically recommended by another blogger and was everything they said it was! My husband and I loved it. Granted - this is not a real RV campground - but is a great place to stay if you are looking for a weekend destination. The view from the designated RV lot was spectacular! We were high up and had a delightful breeze and sat outside with our awning extended, reading, eating and just delighting in the view and weather. In the evening we took the convenient shuttle to the casino, had dinner and walked around for several hours. While we relied on only our trailer for its power, the battery and propane were enough for an overnight to make breakfast, lunch; our water tank was full so we had everything we needed. - loringsontheroad

This is a great place to park while going to the casino, especially on a rainy weekend. There is no cost for staying here. It's not a campground, but more a place to park. Call for a permit and security gives you a pass good for seven. It's dry camping, so it's better for short stays. They have a shuttle service to the casino. We camped here in a travel trailer. - ballard01887

For a casino parking lot, they have one of the best! We ended up with a spot over looking the river: a great view. They bend over backwards for those looking for a No Cost alternative to over-nighters and even extended stays of others. Good shuttle service to Casino, and the Casino itself is beautiful. If back this way again, we will stay again. I might add, a much better offering than the park down the road. - acampingfan

Very accommodating owner, easy access to grocery store and interstate. They also had a store that could meet your basic needs as well as a grill/kitchen. There were several seasonal people on site, that wasn't a drawback. They were very friendly as well as helpful. It was like a small community. It was Memorial Day weekend and there were a lot of primitive campers so the owners put us with the seasonal folks. Some of the sites were not completely level...you can make them work. The sites were also large and shady. I would stay again. - kenbarbie

Let me first share the good about this park. It is located on Gardner Lake. The lake offers good fishing, and anything else you can do on the lake. They put down new decking on their docks. Now the bad. The ownership/management only wants your money. They lack business savvy social skills and at time make you feel like you are an inconvenience. As a seasonal camper you are charged for everything. 3 grand for the season. $100 extra if you bring one kayak or $3 per day to launch from their property. The roads are dirt, making park very dusty. The bath houses are gross with spider/cob webs everywhere. Only 3 of the cabins are usable, the rest are condemned. I have not been in one, but looking in they are nasty. The snack bar food is okay but too expensive. The rec hall is filthy, the boat house is run down, the beach is a joke and run down, the sidewalks are all broken up and are a major hazard. (Law suit in the making). The paved areas of the road are also busted up pretty badly. The basket ball court is gravel and there are very limited activities. The ones on the schedule, only about 1/2 are actually done. This is mostly a seasonal place but the ownership/management does not been care about its residents which reflects in the number that have left. They do not have the passion of a normal campground owners and no pride in their facility. If your interest is a place to park and want nothing from the facility, this is a good place. If you are looking for a fun, activity based, safe, clean, and cared for place: you WON'T find it here. Connecticut State Parks offer more for your money. - trooper889

Check in was easy and that's about it. They share Gardnerlake withe the state. Swimming area is a joke, activities are poor, we were placed next to a bunch of drunk seasonals that wouldn't stop until 2:30 in the morning. I told the owners the next day but they didn't seem to care much, they talked to them, then pointed out I was the one that complained. One group apologized, that afternoon, the other did not, and it continued that night. If you want to get drunk all weekend, this place is for you. Not recommended for families, looking for relaxation from it all. - avidcamper123

Great spot (#9), right on the lake so we could fish right from our site. Staff was super friendly, key card access, great country store and beach. Would have liked full sewer hookup at the site, but I understand being on the water gravity is working against you. Lots of activities for our boys, almost like a summer camp. Highly recommend going. Bring your kayak and fishing pole! - Pshaine

Very expensive CG, especially with no sewer hook-up and marginal 30 amp electricity. Do have gray water hook-up. Always walk and check out your site before bringing a rig in. Very few are level enough or large enough for Big Rigs. Even 5th wheels need to do a lot of work to get level. Interior roads poorly maintained and become streams in heavy rain. Staff friendly and helpful, but always a struggle to get a site that works for 40' motor home. They don't allow you to reserve a specific site. Bathrooms and lake area extremely clean and neat. No cable TV, but can get local TV with antenna. Verizon cell and air card work well. Lots of activities in season. Some seasonal sites are not well maintained. Unfortunately not anything better in the area. - TravelingBaggs

Nice park with a nice lake, however, a pool is needed at this park. Park is clean and camp store is very nice. Road is tight for those of us with bigger rigs. My 32' five wheel was difficult. Owner frequently driving around and making sure everything is good. Rumor is that the place is for sale?? - radmad

Stayed 4 nights in our motorhome. CG not set up for motorhomes. Sites all gravel so dusty. Electrical service fluctuated.

Easy drive to visit Mystic. Extremely long, 50 amp, pull-thru site. Easily leveled. No shade, however some sites have shade. No sewer, but free pump out wagon every 3 days. Clean CG & friendly, easy check-in. Pull-thru sites park alternating directions, so hook-ups share sides of the RVs (not the same hook-up). Hook-up side is fairly close with enough room for slides, but the picnic side between RVs is quite spacious. Excellent WiFi with plenty of cable channels. Good Verizon service. Fun things for kids to do. We would stay here again. - Gayle E.
Jul 2016 - $45.00
We really liked this campground and wanted to score it higher, but because of them not having sewer, they need to make accommodations to the people who don't have big holding tanks. They do pump you out every 3 days for free, but I had to go ask them to do it, some people they automatically did it. They don't have a wash sink for the tent campers and smaller RV's to wash dishes. They need ventilation in the bathrooms, it became very hot in there on warm days. You shouldn't walk through sites, but there is no pathway in the middle to get to the showers which both buildings are on the other side of all the pull throughs. Had to walk a long way around to get to showers. Showers and bathrooms were very clean. Wi-Fi worked pretty well and cable TV worked well. AT&T service was fine. Close to many of the attractions in the area. Pool was nice and they had plenty of chairs. Catered mainly to Class A's and big 5th wheels, but there was a mix of smaller trailers and some tents. Tons of room for the big rigs to maneuver. Sites themselves were pretty deep and the back ins had a lot of room on the sides. Pull throughs were long but smaller on the sides. Small store on site. Would definitely come back again. - acenorm

We loved everything about Wolf's Den except the tight roads within the park. It was a lovely wooded campground with a kind of state park feel. The weekend was busy but during the week it was very quiet. We loved that it was very convenient to a lot of area attractions - it provided a good home base. We loved coming back in the late afternoon and taking a dip in the well maintained pool. Good cable TV. Dump station was a little inconvenient. Had to put $10 cash deposit down on gate card. We forgot to return it when we left but mailed it back to them and they mailed us a check. - RunAroundSue

NOT BIG RIG FRIENDLY We have a 40' motorhome. The turns are very tight, but doable. You REALLY need to bring your A game when driving through this park. The problem that we had was the low branches. Nothing says 'welcome to our campground' like sound of woods grinding into gelcoat. Someone needs to take a chainsaw and trim the low branches. I will not be coming back. - Dave Nurse

Pool was very dirty, mold on inside edges. Prices were very high. Staff was unfriendly. Campground was mostly empty considering holiday weekend.

I am writing this review and sadly I never got to stay at this campground. We came to visit and checked the place out in July. We were looking for someplace to seasonalize our camper for the rest of the year. The campground was nice, they had a game room for the kids and an "adult room" which smelled moldy and looked pretty run down. Their store was terrible but despite that, the place was in pretty good shape and would have done for the rest of the season, until we could get into someplace we loved next year. We talked to the woman behind the counter to see if she had any seasonal sites available at the time. she said they didn't have any that minute but the beginning of August she would have a lot opening up. She asked me to fill out a card with my info on it and she said she would be calling me the beginning of August with the available site numbers. Well, the beginning of August came and went. I called, they said they could not find the card I filled out and retook my info. I requested a call back that day and never got one. So I waited another week and called again. They said they don't have a card for me? So, I gave her the info again, and she said she would call me back. Well, I called again this week and what do you think they told me? They can't find my card! So, they tried to retake my information for the 4th time, but to tell you the truth if they can't keep track of a simple card, I don't think they can possibly run the rest of the campground. So decided I would rather have my camper parked in my driveway than at a campground that was run this inefficiently. - erin1129

The campground needs the office and check in area upgraded, when we got there we went to check in and there is no computer system it is all done on little pieces of paper and then they take you to your site and your hookups where 40' away from your camper so they go back to office and some extension cords and hoses and come back and give them to you we also requested cable and when we got there the site we had did not have cable. The rec hall or barn needed to be cleaned it had bird droppings all over the place and there was a dog there that jumps on the pool tables and ping pong tables. The activitys never start on time. The seasonals are not the friendliest people in the world all they do is drive from site to site on golf carts. We will not be going back there anytime soon. - funtime

Vienna Things to Do Tips by tiabunna
Vienna Things to Do: 3,593 reviews and 7,711 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
The view through the steelwork
Fun fairs aren?t usually ?my thing? at all, but I was prepared to make an exception for the ?Riesenrad? ferris wheel at the permanent Viennese ?Prater? fun fair. Why? Well, because it is such a historic device, having commenced operations in 1897, when it was by far the world?s largest (65M) ? now it?s the world?s oldest; because over the years it become so much a symbol of Vienna; and because?.well, the ?kid? in me came out and I just wanted to try it!
Yes, I know that many people feel it is an enormous tourist trap ? and if you purchase the photos taken as you enter, you?re succumbing to that, but the easiest thing is to not bother even checking them as you leave: nobody says you must buy, after all! As you enter, you will pass through a small ?museum? with items such as dioramas of Vienna, housed in old cars from the wheel: many years ago, half the original cars were removed. It isn?t a world-shaking museum, but worth a few minutes of your time.
And did the Riesenrad meet my expectations? It did indeed, it was not only a buzz, but being slow-moving it also provided a good vantage point for some great photos. I?d give it the thumbs up as a ?to do?.
Address: The Giant Ferris Wheel and recreation-park
Directions: Take the metro on line U1 to Praterstern. Leave the station with your back to the city and go up the street, then turn right ? you?ll see it ahead of you.
Augustinerkirche interior
Strictly speaking, this 14th century church is part of the Hofburg complex. Originally Gothic, it was converted to Baroque then rebuilt as Gothic ? now I?d describe it as Gothic with Baroque touches! Some great chandeliers and a pipe organ I?d love to hear playing (main, second photos). Actually, it seems that, apart from church services, there are regular concerts.
Long before the days or organ donation, it was apparently the fashion with various European royal families to bury various pieces of the 'Dear Departed' in different places. And so it was with the Habsburgs, whose hearts were buried in the Augustinerkirche, though there are some tombs here (the main funeral crypt was in the Kapuzinerkirche at the Neuer Markt ). (3rd photo)
Address: Not surprisingly, in the Augustinerstrasse
Directions: Down the side of the Hofburg, to the left from Michaelerplatz
Website: http://www.sacred-destinations.com/austria/vienna-augustinerkirche.htm
Tourist-free Hofburg entry
This was the main palace complex of the Habsburgs for over six hundred years ? with endless new additions as each new Emperor took office. Not hard to imagine that it grew substantially over that period!
Now that Austria is a Republic, the buildings have found other uses. Some, such as the Kaiserappartements, where Emperor Franz Josef 1 and Empress Elisabeth (Sissi) lived, are furnished as original and are open for public inspection. Another part houses the offices of the President of Austria. Then there are museums and galleries, not to mention the stables for the famous Spanish horses.
The main photo shows the fa�ade of the building complex, as seen from Michaelerplatz. If it looks somewhat empty, that?s because the crowds were being kept back by a very substantial police presence during the visit of an ?eminent overseas statesperson? . Eventually a convoy of black limousines appeared and the serious business of tourism resumed! Our time limit precluded poking around the various buildings in the Hofburg complex ? but you could spend quite some time here if you wished!
Main photo: An unusually quiet Michaelerplatz, outside the Hofburg
Second photo:Departing dignitary?s convoy.
Third photo:The crowds return to Michaelerplatz (panorama).
Fourth photo:The Spanish horses in their stables.
Address: The winter palace of the emperor
Directions: Spreading through quite a bit of Central Vienna !
Pallas Athena at the Austrian Parliament
As you wander around the Ringstrasse from the Kunsthistorisches Museum to the Rathaus, you?ll pass the Austrian Parliament building. The columned fa�ade is very much ?Ancient Greece meets Baroque? and the overall effect is very impressive (second photo). I?m sure there is a substantial security presence somewhere, but from outside it certainly was not obvious ? unlike the French Parliament which has what seem to be permanent mesh barricades!
Most of all, while you are here, you?re certain to be struck by the superb statue of Pallas Athenas, the Greek Goddess of Heroic Endeavour. When we visited, it seemed the gilding on her helmet and accoutrements really gleamed (main photo). This is listed in our guidebook as a fountain, but there wasn?t any watery stuff splashing around when we visited ? great statue though!
Address: the buildings of the famous boulevard
Directions: Between the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Rathaus.
Website: http://www.parlinkom.gv.at (link to English left of page, partway down)
Quite a step in a century!
I?m a sucker for technology museums so I had to squeeze in a visit to Vienna?s, before our stay was finished. It was worthwhile. I?m glad to say that, if you have any technical interests, something here is sure to satisfy most tastes. The exhibits broadly span the period from the mid-1800s to the present, as illustrated by the main photo.
The majority of visitors while I was there were school groups, so that may explain why scientific instruments and working models of scientific demonstrations were nearest the door. One VT tip does not provide enough photo space for the range of items, but in close proximity there was machinery from heavy industry such as steel foundries near one of Sissi?s personal railway carriages (she had two).
Further on, two students were learning the intricacies of electricity reticulation (photo 2). Toward the top the displays became ever more diverse. Not far from a display showing what makes up a grand piano (photo 3) was the bicycle display, with the earlier models on the top shelf looking as if they derived from the piano factory (photo 4).
Of course, I?m always diverted towards the motoring section, and here I found an 1897 Stift (before they merged with Graf) (photo 5), claimed to have been the world?s first front wheel drive motor car. It?s a claim I can believe (look at the universal joints in the front axles), but it clearly had some difficulties, given that the technology was not more widely adopted for many years.
Open Monday to Friday 0900-1800, weekends 1000-1800. Closed various public holidays. Discounts on entry price for children, seniors, family groups.
Address: Mariahilfer Stra�e 212, 1140 Vienna
Directions: Take the U4 Metro to Schonbrunn, turn left at the city end of the platform and head through the park to the Museum (also bus options or Metro U3 to Johnstrasse)

The musical trio
Behind the cathedral, we found a group of sculptures, this time a trio of musical ladies. There also is a plaque dedicated to Antonio Vivaldi. No doubt the musicians are meant to be playing the ?Four Seasons?: Vivaldi was a priest (known, because of his hair colour as "The Red Priest"), so maybe that suggests some connection with the Votivkirche. Unfortunately, although the statue was enjoyable, I?ve been unable to find out more about it ? there was no other signage!
Address: the buildings of the famous boulevard
Directions: Immediately behind the Votivkirche
Palais Ferstel ceiling
We were taken by the style of this impressive building which also houses the Caf� Central, one of Vienna?s most famous restaurants.
Rather than the gastronomic delights of the Caf� Central, we enjoyed instead the architectural delights of the grand foyer of the Palais Ferstel and the ornate shopping arcade. Upstairs (we didn?t go there) are meeting and convention rooms. Originally this was considered the most ?up-to-date? building in Vienna, when designed and built in the 1850s by the architect Heinrich Von Ferstel (who also designed the Votivkirche). Apparently WW2 left it severely damaged, but it now has been completely restored.
Directions: You?ll find it across from the Palais Daun-Kinsky.
Palais Kinsky interior
Without the guidance of Michael (Globetrott), I?d doubtless have missed the baroque delight of the Kinsky Palace: most visitors do! If you?d like to see some brilliant baroque, without crowds, and totally free, this definitely is the place to go. I thought about making this tip ?off the beaten path?, but it?s nearly in the middle of Vienna and people pass it constantly!
Built in 1713-1719 for Philipp Laurenz, who was Count Daun, the Palace gained its more common name from Rosa, Countess of Kinsky, who became owner in 1784. It stayed in the Kinsky family for some 200 years, but now houses meeting and convention rooms and an antique broker?s business, which seems to ensure the (very ornate) door remains unlocked ? fortunately for those of us visiting!
Step inside and be knocked over by the ornate staircase to the second floor (third floor to some), the statues, the stucco, and most of all the superb painted ceiling. You can take your time, because probably you?ll be the only visitor there! But don?t miss it.
Address: Freyung Square, Freyung 4. 1010 Vienna.
The Votivkirche and its current scaffolding
Continuing around the Ringstrasse just a little further from the Rathaus, you?ll find another impressive Gothic building. It looks the part of something from the 1300s, with its gargoyles, flying buttresses, arches, stained glass windows and all ? but it?s actually from the late 1800s and was designed by the same Heinrich Von Ferstel who designed the Palais Ferstel (separate tip).
Going by the number of assassinations attempts, successful and unsuccessful, over the years, it seems that being a member of Habsburg royalty was a risky business! The failure of an attempted assassination of Franz Josef 1 in 1853 led to the construction of this superb cathedral, as an act of thanksgiving.
We visited on a rainy weekend day and the interior appeared to be closed for maintenance ? certainly cleaning and maintenance was very much in evidence, going by the scaffolding and by the contrast in cleaned/uncleaned sections of stonework (as may be seen in the photos). As a personal opinion, the exterior appealed to me more than St Stephan?s, mainly because of the uniform styling ? though my guidebook suggests the interior is vast and empty, so that may have been a disappointment.
Address: the buildings of the famous boulevard
Directions: Continuing from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, past the Rathaus, and there it is!

We first saw the Rathaus from the city area, bright against a blue sky. It looked impressive, and the sight confirmed that it deserved to be on our list of things to do. Unfortunately, when we visited a few days later, the weather was bleak with light drizzle, and the light dull and flat.
Believe it or not, the Gothic-styled Rathaus is the Viennese version of the City Hall! Built in the late 1800s, the interior apparently is equally impressive, but we visited on a weekend when it was closed ? on weekdays it is not only open, but there are guided tours (in German only).
Part of the reason I wished to visit was to try re-creating a photo from the film The Third Man: I did that (see ?General? tips), but i also soon found that this is just a great photographic venue! Obviously, the photographic team further down under the arches and taking just THE shot of a bridal couple knew that already. Across the way was the Hofburg Theatre. Go along with your cameras and find out for yourselves!

Address: Rathausplatz
Directions: Head around the Ringstrasse from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, past the Parliament, and you'll see the Rathaus across the Rathaus Park - it's over 100M high, so it's hard to miss!
