Although the immediate need for water, food, shelter and medicine remains acute, especially in the province of Leyte, we will soon face the daunting challenge of rebuilding lost communities and displaced lives in the Philippines. Grameen Foundation has been involved in the rebuilding efforts in two of the worst disasters in recent history: the 2004 Tsunami in South and Southeast Asia and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti (PDF). While every disaster brings unique challenges, we believe there are lessons from these previous tragedies that can inform our rebuilding efforts in the Philippines:

You are here
At Grameen Foundation, our goal is to spur innovation in the global movement to eliminate extreme poverty. Part of that work is to develop better solutions and share them with people like you.
On GF Insights, we share lessons learned from our leaders in the field, news about efforts to expand access to financial and information services for the poor, and how poverty-focused organizations are using data to improve the way they work.

It is still too soon to assess the full impact of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, especially on the country's poorest citizens. It is clear, though, that microfinance institutions can play an integral role in the recovery. Two of our microfinance allies, CARD and NWTF, operate in the provinces that were hardest hit by the storm.
Grameen Foundation is a lot like the other 20,000 nonprofits that use Salesforce.com—it helps us be more efficient and effective in delivering on our mission. But Grameen Foundation is pretty unique. Not only do we use Salesforce.com for fundraising we've built a number of apps to support our programs. But I think most interestingly, we built four mobile apps, culminating in TaroWorks, our mobile field force management product based on 10 years of experience working with the very poor.
October 31st is not just about Halloween; it's also about savings. October 31st was established as World Savings Day in 1924 to promote savings globally. Today also marks the end of Grameen Foundation's four-year, $9.78 million savings project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The project was created to help increase the number of active savers throughout India, the Philippines, and Ethiopia, particularly those below $1.25/day.
We're pleased that we helped our partners reach 850,000 new active savers. We've also learned a lot over the last four years that can benefit others. On October 22, we held a Savings Seminar in Washington, D.C. to convene 70 practitioners to discuss learnings, best practices, and things we'd do differently in future programs. While we planned extensively for this project, things do not always go as planned.
Last week, Grameen Foundation CEO, Alex Counts, posted an update to his personal blog about some promising new ideas on researching the effectiveness of microfinance. In the post, he discusses the sometimes troubled relationship between microfinance practitioners and academic researchers. The post touched off a great discussion, centering on the question of how to ensure that the conclusions of researchers can be better put into practice:
"We should hold researchers to the standard they hold the rest of us – they should measure whether their research, on which millions of dollars are spent every year, produces any positive change." -Alex Counts

Chancellor must address billion-pound costs of neglecting the environment.
25 February 2016
The Budget must work harder to tackle the growing risks from environmental degradation, natural resource scarcity and climate change if the UK is to enjoy resilient economic growth in the future, WWF-UK claims today. Unless we act soon, the consequences for the nation's prosperity are likely to be costly in the long-term.
In its new 2016 report 'A Greener Budget: choices for a prosperous future', WWF-UK sets out a suite of practical policy recommendations that the Treasury could implement through the 2016 Budget to help tackle these risks and put the UK on a more sustainable and resilient economic footing.
WWF-UK is calling on the Chancellor to put a 'natural capital stress test', which highlights the potential risks that the economy faces from environmental damage, at the heart of the Budget.
The report outlines how the Treasury could use such a stress test to assess, for example, the potential future consequences for business productivity if soil erosion is allowed to continue at current rates or if water stress were to worsen - and to help identify the most appropriate course of action.
Evidence shows that economic costs of neglecting our natural assets can no longer be ignored:
- Mismanagement of river catchments is a major contributing factor to flooding, which is estimated to have cost the UK at least £5 billion this winter alone
- The economic value of the effect of small particulate (PM2.5) air pollution on mortality in the UK was around £16 billion in 2008 alone, equivalent to 29,000 premature deaths
- £1.4 billion in additional annual UK revenues could be expected if UK fish stocks recovered to the average levels seen before the 1970s.
WWF also proposes that a business-focussed Natural Capital Task Force is needed to identify how the private sector can lead better management of natural resources, incentivising innovation and investment in a business-friendly way. It also calls on the Treasury to make disclosure of environmental risks a legal requirement for financial institutions, enabling investors to better understand their risk exposure and to evaluate which investment options deliver the most sustainable returns.
Trevor Hutchings, Director of Advocacy at WWF-UK, said:
"George Osborne recently spoke of an economic 'cocktail of threats' related to short-term falls in commodity prices and stock markets - and yet he's said little of the trinity of longer-term risks posed by environmental degradation, resource scarcity and climate change.
"The Chancellor should use the Budget to report on the contribution that the natural environment makes to the UK economy, the risks to businesses and individuals associated with environmental damage, and the measures needed to maintain the healthy natural environment upon which our prosperity depends."
WWF Ambassador Lord Adair Turner (senior fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking and former chairman of the UK Financial Services Authority), said:
"In the wake of the Paris agreement, and with the impact of climate change on homes and businesses becoming impossible to ignore, creating a green economy through smarter use of taxes and targeted public spending should be a far higher priority for government. Free markets won't deliver this on their own. The Treasury needs to take a hard look at how we can use all available policy levers to drive this change, starting with this year's budget."

Posted on 11/03/2013 8:40:53 AM PST by artichokegrower
SANTA CRUZ -- A 40-year-old Santa Cruz man was killed Saturday morning when he was struck by a car while riding a bike on Highway 1, according to the California Highway Patrol.
About 11:17 a.m., the man, who police declined to name, was riding south in the bike lane with a bicycling group near Dimeo Lane, CHP Sgt. Grant Boles said.
At the same time, a 63-year-old Santa Cruz man was driving north on the highway in a 2013 Tesla Model S. Preliminary investigations revealed the driver veered into the bike line and struck the 40-year-old bicyclist, Boles said.
(Excerpt) Read more at santacruzsentinel.com ...
Was the smoke in the interior of the Tesla obscuring the driver's vision?
People should not be allowed to own Teslas. Maybe Trayvons' mother will make the case to Congress.
Assault Teslas.
They are the worst kind of Tesla.
Driver had to be distracted by flames in the cockpit.
Whoa there NAV, get the finger off the trigger, slowly and fill us in why you went here? :o)
Of course it's not a Zot. It's about a cyclist being run over, on FR.
Flattened by an electric vehicle? How is that not a ZOT!
Flattened by an electric vehicle? How is that not a ZOT!
ZOTs can be pretti nasti. Usually when you least expect 'em.
PC done done him in.
Did you mean:
DC done done him in?
LOL. OK, i get it. the rider got ZOTTED, i thought you were aiming at the OP and i was just curious... FreepOn, FRiend.
Electric car. Batteries. DC.
Ahh. I was thinking his theory on sustainability was rudely interrupted.
Okay, I'll give you that...
Might've gotten distracted when trying to recharge his car batteries from his iPhone...
I know there are no dividers on portions of Highway 1, but that is still one heckuva "veer" ...
Unless the bike lane is next to the north-bound lane of H1 and is used both ways by bikes...
Last time I was there, there was no bike lane at all, so I can only guess.
Santa Cruz tragedy,
Good thing the missionaries named all the towns in CA early on. Otherwise no Santa Cruz. Would never be tolerated there today.
Here's the location of the intersection. Wide bike lanes, and extra car lanes near the intersection.
Can we trust the testimony of fellow bikers? I presume a tendency to lie to advance their cause.
When greenie meets greenie.
Bike lanes next to traffic lanes, not a good idea. When I was working for Uncle Sam in Germany in the 70's they had a traffic lane then a shoulder with cross hatching marks then a bike lane much safer.
Yeah, how much you want to bet these guys were spread across a traffic lane in their biker tights. Just a couple of days ago I pulled up to a traffic light beside a bunch of bikers on a multi lane road with a marked bike lane. Were they in the bike lane? No way. They were spread out taking up the full width of a traffic lane. Just another example of why I have no use for bike riders.
The impact shattered the windshield of the driver's Tesla.
The California Highway Patrol said the cyclist's neck may have been instantly snapped by the blow.
One of the cyclists, who said he did not see the collision, came upon the scene and found the driver of the Tesla getting out of his car holding a cellphone.
All three cyclists told the CHP they think the driver was using the phone at the time of the crash.
Investigators said speed may also have been a factor.
The CHP said the Tesla was headed northbound on the two-lane section of the highway when it swerved into oncoming traffic.
To avoid hitting a car, the Tesla's driver went up and down the dirt embankment before striking the cyclist, witnesses said.
This is the kind of physical evidence I trust. "He was on the phone" testimony from biker pals who likely could not have seen it doesn't hold much weight.
And "speed may have been factor" is meaningless cop PR in most cases.
Bicyclist going south and Tesla going north did he swerve across the southbound lane and hit the cyclist head-on?

The Peace of Passarowitz is signed in modern-day Serbia through British mediation. Between the Ottoman Empire on one side, and the Austrian Habsburgs and Venice on the other, it allowed the Empire to retain its Hungarian territories, as well as Belgrade, part of Serbia and the Banat of Temesvar. Turkey gained the Morea from Venice, but Venice retained Corfu and its conquests in Albania and Dalmatia. The countries concerned agreed to abide by this agreement for at least 25 years.

Harbottle Dorr Launched
The Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) holds an important collection of Revolutionary-era newspapers assembled, annotated, and indexed by a Bostonian shopkeeper named Harbottle Dorr, Jr. The Society has just launched a digital presentation of this collection. Dorr's index terms and annotations offer a fascinating glimpse into his perspective and reactions to events, issues, and people discussed in newspapers of his time.
On Monday, 27 August 2012, I posted on The Idiosyncratic Index Subjects of Harbottle Dorr, Jr. In that blog post, I highlighted some of the more quirky index entries from Volumes 1 and 2 of the Harbottle Dorr, Jr. Annotated Newspapers collection, and also mentioned that a second posting would be forthcoming. Were you holding your breath? The wait is over! You can exhale now.

Lemmons, wine, &c: a great hardship, to oblige the Americans to enter them in England. 198.
Snow, will make Puddings in the Room of Eggs. 223.
The indexes are now all transcribed and encoded, and available on the new website (www.masshist.org/dorr). The MHS has worked hard to make it as easy to use as possible, and are confident you will find the images stunningly clear and, while Harbottle Dorr, Jr. did have very good handwriting, we hope that the transcriptions provided will be accurate and helpful.
Since I have your attention, perhaps you will allow a sidebar? We are not yet presenting on the website transcriptions of the annotations from the newspaper issues themselves, but in working with the newspapers and their digital surrogates, we noticed from time to time humorous marginal commentary. Here is one such annotation that Dorr made to a speech by "his Excellency Sir Francis Bernard," which was published in The Boston Evening-Post from 3 June 1765. It is in Volume 1, numbered by Dorr page 95: "This Speech the House did not Answer, perhaps they did not understand it. Who could?"
Not thinking myself better than Dorr, I have endeavored to read and understand Bernard's Speech. Bernard begins by admitting, "I have no Orders from his Majesty to communicate to you; nor any thing to offer myself but what relates to your internal Policy: I shall therefore take this Opportunity to point out such domestic Business as more immediately deserves your attention." I take this that the gentlemen of the council were hijacked – as you are right now by me – by Bernard's ego! The rest of the speech is on Bernard's desire to see an increased production and export of "Pot-Ash, Hemp and the carrying Lumber to the British Markets."
Harbottle adds another personal opinion on two of Bernard statements in this same speech:
"The general Settlement of the American Provinces, which has been long ago proposed, and now probably will be prosecuted to its utmost Completion, must necessarily produce some Regulations, which, from their Novelty only, will appear disagreeable"
"In an Empire, extended and diversified as that of Great-Britain, there must be a supreme Legislature, to which all other Powers must be subordinate."
To these Dorr writes, "Now the Wolf shews himself notwithstanding his Sheeps Cloathing."

With bated breath you hit the update button, hoping that, for once, the new software won't be a total failure. But from one hesitant user to another who's dealt with the internal struggle to update anything Apple, don't be nervous about upgrading from iTunes 10 to 11. I promise it will be worth it.
At first, it's like walking into the wrong bathroom: a total culture shock. The sidebar? Gone. The layout? Different. The icon? Different. At this point, I was already regretting my update.
But then I played with it, and it is glorious.
The search bar, the miniplayer and the iCloud system got a complete overhaul. The familiar sidebar seemed to be missing, but I found upon further investigation, that clicking "view" then "Show Sidebar" will cause it to pop up on the left side.
The new search bar is ridiculously advanced. If you type in a band, it will show you everywhere that band is located on your iTunes library instead of just the playlist you're looking at.
Next, the beautiful, convenient update to the iCloud system allows all of your iCloud-enabled devices to work together in sync.
If you begin watching a movie on your iPad, you can resume it on your iPhone in the exact same spot without missing a beat. This works for movies, TV shows, podcasts and even audiobooks.
The new feature, "Up Next," is by far the best part of iTunes 11.
If you are listening to a shuffled party playlist on iTunes and one of your friends requests a song, you can play that song next without stopping the current jam.
Simply right-click on the song-of-choice, and go to "Play Next." The song will play next and then jump right back into the original playlist.
The second-best part of iTunes 11 is the miniplayer, which features album covers, the new search bar and the "Up Next" feature.
Apple has outdone itself with iTunes 11. It's bold, it's beautiful and it's available now at www.Apple.com.

ST. LOUIS (AP) Getting Stan Musial on the list of honorees for the Presidential Medal Freedom was a season-long effort by the St. Louis Cardinals.
The team began a "Stand for Stan" campaign in May, aiming to inspire President Barack Obama to honor the Cardinals Hall of Famer who will be 90 next week. The team used social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook and started a website to get fans involved.
The team also distributed cardboard Musial cutouts to fans, depicting a cartoonish slugger wearing a big grin and brandishing a self-autographed bat.
Musial got a congratulatory call Wednesday from baseball commissioner Bud Selig. U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill said Musial was the "greatest Cardinal ever."

Wood Products Value
Cypress (Cupressus spp.) wood is generally durable and stable. It is suitable for a wide range of exterior uses including joinery, shingles, and boats. Possible interior uses include moulding and panelling [29]. Cypress shelterbelts provide good firewood. Most cypress species develop a large proportion of heartwood, which splits well, dries quickly, and is clean burning. Cypress wood is moderately fast burning because of its medium density. As cypress woods are prone to sparking, they are recommended only for enclosed fires [29].

Last Orders (Re:Play Manchester)
Editorial Staff • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 27 Jan 2011
WOS Rating:
Where: Manchester
One night in the Jabez Clegg pub, Robbie and Michelle's paths unexpectedly cross again after ten years. But Michelle's about to move to Ibiza and Robbie's getting married... isn't he?
Monkeywood Theatre's Last Orders has been revived for Re:Play Festival, and is performed at a secret. The audience is drawn in by well-meaning outsider Stan (James Harris), who touts his wares of Pantene Pro-V and scampi fries to the pub's clientele – and provides a chirpy commentary on the action that follows.
Due to the room's layout it's not always easy to follow the action, as Robbie's stag do and Michelle's leaving do are set up at opposite ends of the pub – and depending on where you're sitting you occasionally end up watching the actors' backs. This unfortunately means the opening is slightly lacking in pace and intimacy, but the moment Robbie (Ted Holden) and Michelle (played by writer Sarah McDonald Hughes) set eyes on each other is nonetheless electric.
The warm and funny script roots the play firmly in its Manchester location, providing a window onto an almost-love story that often occurs, but is rarely told. It's a testament to the quality of the writing and the credibility of the characters that when this short piece ends, you're left wanting to hear more.

"I think sometimes you think you're the hero of the story, and sometimes you think you're the victim…but you're not either."
Banished from their small village, three small, bald cousins aimlessly wander in the desert. The one with a star on his shirt is greedy and sneaky. The tallest one is jolly but dim-witted. The quietest one is a hero in the making, though he doesn't know that yet. They quickly become separated and when they reunite they are wrapped up in the beginnings of a brutal war involving humans, dragons, and a frightening race of giant rat-creatures…stupid stupid rat creatures.
Jeff Smith's graphic novel series Bone manages to combine the look and humor of Disney cartoons while tackling the sort of epic adventure that one might find in J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis.

Gone by Michael Grant
In a small town on the coast of California, everyone over the age of fourteen suddenly disappears, setting up a battle between the remaining town residents and the students from a local private school, as well as those who have "The Power" and are able to perform supernatural feats and those who do not.
Here are some books I think you might enjoy if you like Gone and action/adventure books:
Hunger by Michael Grant

Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary Pearson
In the not-too-distant future, when biotechnological advances have made synthetic bodies and brains possible but illegal, a seventeen-year-old girl, recovering from a serious accident and suffering from memory lapses, learns a startling secret about her existence.
Feed by M. T. Anderson
In a future where most people have computer implants in their heads to control their environment, a boy meets an unusual girl who is in serious trouble.
H.I.V.E.: Higher Institute of Villainous Education by Mark Walden
Swept away to a hidden academy for training budding evil geniuses, Otto, a brilliant orphan, Wing, a sensitive warrior, Laura, a shy computer specialist, and Shelby, an infamous jewel thief, plot to beat the odds and escape the prison known as H.I.V.E. The sequel to H.I.V.E. is called The Overlord Protocol.
"Beneath heaven is hell. Beneath hell is furnace." That is the description by 14-year-old Alex of Furnace, a prison one mile below the surface of the earth. When you are sentenced to Furnace you are sentenced for life. This gripping tale is Lockdown: Escape from Furnace by Alexander Gordon Smith. In this story we meet Alex, who is arrested after he and a friend are caught during a burglary. However, the police are not your typical law-enforcement officers, as they are clothed all in black. Without any of the requisite procedures, during the arrest they shoot Alex's friend dead in front of him. Alex is taken to court and found guilty of murder. Despite his and his parents' pleas for an appeal he is sentenced to life in prison with no parole. Not just any prison but Furnace, where there are no visitors and no chance of ever getting out.
Alex arrives to find a tough world where survival is a daily concern. He quickly learns that friendships are not part of the Furnace world, and it is every man for himself. Gangs abound, the food is disgusting, and guard dogs tear the inmates apart. Alex quickly learns from his street-smart roommate to keep a low profile and not to draw attention to himself. This is especially the case when, during the night, evil guards manuever through the prison and randomly select the next victim. The victims are taken away and return as killing machines. Alex decides he wants out. So he and his roommate devise a clever escape plan. But it is very risky.

The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester
When home schooled farm girl Piper McCloud reveals her ability to fly, she is quickly taken to a secret government facility to be trained with other exceptional children, but she soon realizes that something is very wrong and begins working with brilliant and wealthy Conrad to escape. This is a new book– and one of my favorites! It has all the components that I think you're looking for, plus some great plot twists.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

What would YOUR life be like if you suddenly lost the past 4 years?
Imagine falling down the stairs of your high school with a heavy camera in your hands. If that isn't embarrassing enough, what if you lost the last four years of your life? For 16-year-old Naomi, falling down the stairs of her high school with a heavy camera in her hands causes some very interesting things to happen: like realizing that your best friend in the world just might be in love with you and that you and your mom haven't spoken since she left your dad three years ago AND that you have a half- sister that you haven't even met yet! In Naomi's case, she was able to use this event to decide who she really wants to be, dealing with the difficult issues of her life with a whole new perspective, with grace, humor and intelligence.
What if Jane Eyre fell in love with a rock star? This is what happens in April Lindner's Jane, a modernization of Charlotte Brontë's classic work. The result is a hot retelling that teens will relate to in a heartbeat. Rock star with a wild past? Check. Teen girl with a family who doesn't understand her? Check. Passionate, roller coaster love story? All right!
For most of us, peanuts don't usually conjure up thoughts of sickness and death, but for Ambrose Bukowski that's all they have to offer. The main character of Susin Neilsen's Word Nerd has a serious allergy, but his real problem is the fact that he's so awkward. His classmates tease him nonstop for the way he acts, the way he dresses, and the things he says. When they hide a peanut in his sandwich at lunch, the hospital visit afterwards convinces his overprotective mother to homeschool Ambrose.

Ruth copes with an abusive situation at home by cutting herself, until her high school counselor helps her get the treatment she needs to start a new life. (Christian fiction author)
Crosses by Shelley Stoehr
Unhappy at home, Nancy and her friend Katie adopt punk lifestyles and find relief in cutting themselves, until Nancy is forced to confront her problems.
Institutions/therapy/suicide attempts:
The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart
A Seattle fifteen-year-old explains some of the reasons for her recent panic attacks, including breaking up with her boyfriend, losing all her girlfriends, tensions between her performance-artist mother and her father, and more.
The Burn Journals by Brent Runyon
Brent Runyon was fourteen years old when he set himself on fire. In this book he describes that suicide attempt and his recovery over the following year. (autobiography)
Sammy Bojar plays guitar in Tragedy of Wisdom with a frightening and talentless lead singer (guess which member chose the name). Most of their practices end in a ragin' tantrum. It looks like a dead-end situation for Sammy and his crew, until a battle of the bands competition gives them a possible chance to record a song for radio play. As Sammy struggles to gain control of his songwriting career, he is helped by his paranoid jazz pianist grandfather and his old best friend/new girlfriend, Jen5.

Last winter, a caravan of canoeists headed up the Schuylkill, paddling against the current and the chill to discuss plans for Invisible River, an arts event planned for this weekend.
"Everyone was getting really excited, saying how we should put lights on the bridge, or imagining dancers in the shallows of the water and a flotilla of boats, with a music barge floating along. We were all letting our imaginations run wild," recalled choreographer Olivia Jorgensen, who was visited by a vision of dancers performing summer-solstice rituals on the banks.
It wasn't a conventional venue for a planning session, but then Invisible River isn't your typical performance.

The Greeley Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters will hold a presentation on ballot item 3A in the November election.
The ballot item asks Greeley-Evans School District 6 voters for about $8 million in new bond money. The money would match a state grant of about $22 million to rebuild John Evans I.B. Middle School, which is in severe need of repair.
Bonds would be issued only if the district receives the Building Excellent Schools Today grant from the Colorado Department of Education. District 6 is a second-runner up in the grant awards and needs bond elections from two districts ahead of it to fail in order to receive the grant.
The forum will be from 7-8:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Greeley Recreation Center, 651 10th Ave. and includes a question-and-answer session.
For more information, call Kim Barbour at the Greeley Chamber of Commerce, (970) 352-3566.

To the Editor.—
The Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome, which is associated with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) and was first described by Nowell and Hungerford,1 has been thought to be a result of a deletion in one of the G (21 or 22) chromosomes. In the past it was not possible to determine whether the deleted parts were translocated to other chromosomes or simply lost.2 The addition of such a small segment to a large chromosome would be impossible to detect with the available techniques at that time. More precise identification of human chromosomes are now possible with the newer techniques. It appears that Ph1 chromosome is a result of a deletion of a normal chromosome 22,3 and the deleted part is translocated to another chromosome; mostly to the long arms of a chromosome 9.4We were unable to demonstrate the Ph1 chromosome in two normal

We have been here three years in a row and stayed at least a month each time. Campground is clean and spacious. Camp hosts could not be better. The only downside other than aircraft noise, which we get used to, is that the wifi does not work at all in the campground. We will have been here a month this trip and the only way we can get online is to go to the MWR office with the laptop or tablet. Tv is over the air and leaves much to be desired but Charleston has so much to do and eat, we don't miss tv. - Bojangles
Nov 2014 - $23.00
This is our second stay at this park and we will be back. Everything works and the camp hosts are friendly and helpful. Since it is located very near the runway used by both commercial airlines and military aircraft, there is noise. Otherwise it would be a solid 10. - Bojangles

Pretty good... some sites are better than others. We had Electric and Water at $23/night, which is a bit high when compared to other military campgrounds. But if you want to stay in the Charleston area for just a few day this is probably a good deal. Well situated. Would stay again. - Consuelo Heath

This is Not a RV resort. So, if that's what your looking for try one of the other RV parks in the Charleston area. My space is Huge with 50 AMP electrical, water, and sewer. The owner is very accommodating and helpful. They seem to cater to monthly rentals, which is exactly what I needed. Currently the RV park is full and would guess they have a very low turn-over of tenants. - tizzyfit
Feb 2005 - $35.00
This Park in North Charleston. The owner accused me of switching from 30 amp to 50 amp then raised my rent 20.00. When I got there he had electric boxes on the ground with my electric running to the next site. Any one knows 30 to 50 will blow something. He called me a liar I took him to small claims court unfotunately I had to leave early. The owners know nothing of running a Park. Fine example of a owner thinking you want to steal something from them. This seems to be quite a few campgrounds like this. Fain's RV, another one on my worst list. - booboo

A good place for a stop-over but nothing exceptional about this KOA. A variety of space lengths meant everyone had a spot that fit their length including tow vehicles.
Call in person to make your reservations and they will be sure to reserve a space that is the right length for your RV and tow vehicle. - Scldg

Spaces a little tight getting in and out. Sewer not in convenient location. Used dump station when leaving rather than backing up to be able to reach outlet. Office very helpful. Had a site with concrete pad, propane grill, and wicker furniture. - JERRY & ANN TARHEEL
Apr 2016 - $41.00
This KOA is full of long term residents that don't worry about cleaning up their sites. We where in C-8; one of the very few that have a concrete patio. Most sites are dirt and have lots of leaves. Might be OK for a short time, not any place we would want to stay very long. - wrready2

Nice park, lots of room between sites, most shaded. Only negatives were the MANY speed bumps which are bad for any RV rig, and the nice new pool right next to a busy, noisy highway. Other than getting yelled at for going 12 in our car between the speed bumps (WAY too many for any park!) the staff was pleasant and helpful. - Ilene S
Aug 2016 - $45.00
This was a last minute decision for us to stay. We were headed to Patriot's Point and this campground was right off the main highway. The worst part of the campground was the turn off of the main highway. Once you get past that the campground itself was very clean with great staff. The woman at the front desk was very helpful with finding us information on Patriot's Point and giving us suggestions for parking the rv there. The sites were mostly level and have a decent amount of space between them. Everyone who was staying there seemed very friendly. It was very quiet. - coldwaterconch

This is a very nice, clean, spacious campground that is well maintained and quiet. We stayed for a week in the back section.
-Clean and quiet
-Spacious park that never feels crowded
-Long pull through sites on a level white gravel base
-Drains quickly after rain
-Good mix of long-term and short-term guests
-On site propane refill
-Publix grocery store just down the street
-Lots of trees for some spots. We had to move to a new spot so our dish would see clear sky.
-Back section is a long drive from the front of the park (where the pool and entry/exit are).
-Left turn into and out of the campground is practically impossible and is dangerous at times.
-Driving to Charleston or Patriot's Point takes a minimum of 30 minutes and close to an hour during busy times of the day. Plan on 60-90 minutes of driving time (or more) each day if you want to go to Charleston or the beaches.
-Other than the Publix, not much within a 10 minute radius of the campground.
In spite of all the negatives, we had considered returning here and staying longer - perhaps a month. However, the biggest negative, and the reason we will not return, is the horrible hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg) smell in the water. I have smelled hot springs in Yellowstone that were fresher than this! In less than a week, we could see black marks in our toilet from the water and by the end of the week the smell was so bad we didn't want to use the shower! The office said "its safe to drink, welcome to the Low Country." Even if it is safe, which I question given the intensity of the odor, it isn't safe for plumbing and its just gross on top of that.
This horrible water is the reason for the 2 star rating I gave for cleanliness (the rest of the part was very clean). It is the first RV campground where I would not use the campground water. - Bryanmsi

Spacious, 50 Amp full hookup, pull through sites with ample room for RV and tow vehicle. Site was fairly level and very clean. Professional and very friendly staff.
Close to Charleston as well as great restaurants and stores. Quiet facility away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal areas. - Happy Motorhomers

This could be a very nice campground. The sites are level. The people are nice. They have a nice pool and a fish pond (catch & release - no license required), with a park bench and several picnic tables so you can watch the ducks, frogs and turtles. BUT: the roads are narrow and not maintained. There are huge potholes that fill up with muddy water when it rains, and there are a lot of permanent and seasonal residents who don't keep their RVs or their sites clean. Not worth the price, even with Passport America. We won't be coming back. - mrpeepers
Jul 2016 - $40.00
Checked in after hours. No reservation information posted. Another motor home had the same issue. I pulled into the first site that was available. Appeared to concentrate on long term clients, not nightly. Dirt pads.
Left in the morning without being able to meet any staff.
One visit will be my last. - Mbv-20145

Loved this park. Site feel secluded because of foliage between sites. Staff was great. Beautiful setting. Lots of trails, etc. has a game area with corn hole, ladder golf and others. Easy to get to historic district. Stay even allows free entry to the other county parks. We only went to Folly Beach park to play in the Atlantic. We want to return. - MajandMrs
Aug 2016 - $50.00
Be very careful on the road leading to the park entrance. Some trees are very close to the roadway and show signs of contact with vehicle traveling on the roadway. There are some turns in the park where trees are close and they too have contact signs.
This is a very clean county park. The exterior/interior roads are paved but the sites are dirt and grass. Most sites have some type of brush/trees between the sites for privacy. Most sites are full hookups but the wifi was very weak at our site. There is a splash park (open Sat-Sun), a dog park/pond where the dogs can run and swim. There are boat and bike rental and miles of trails to walk and ride.
The park does collect recyclables. - Michael47
Jul 2016 - $50.00
We thoroughly enjoyed this park. Great location between Charleston and Folly Beach. Your camping car pass gets you free parking at Folly Beach County Park and into other Charleston County parks in the area: a nice unanticipated perk. Sites are level gravel/sandy types sites and mostly shaded. Bike trails around the park are paved and mostly shaded. Fishing pier is nice, even got to see a couple of dolphins there one evening. Would definitely stay again. - cdjcwhite

Returned to park for 5th year running.Large level sites. Roads good. Park has all the enjoyment activities that are expected at a park. This one adds boats, paddle board, canoes, fishing, LARGE dog park with access to water to swim in. Close to Charleston and beaches. Numerous tent sites and cabins. - trims

This campground is little more expensive than some others in the area but we can usually count on a quality campground when we stay at a KOA and this one did not disappoint. We stayed 2 nights at this campground and enjoyed our site near the lake. The benches by the lake offered a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the evening. The staff was friendly and helpful. We always appreciate when the KOA staff takes the time to escort their guest to their site as part of the check in. The showers which are separate from the restrooms could use a little updating, but they were clean and easy to use. The WIFI worked most of the time and the cable worked well. The nature trail through the woods was unique and an interesting walk. They rent canoes, kayaks and paddle boats, but they are expensive and I did not see anyone using any while we were there. On the 2nd morning we noticed red ants crawling on the motorhome. I sprayed the motorhome and the ground but it took several days to get rid of them. The pool was clean and inviting and we enjoyed playing ping pong in the rec hall. This is a good campground if you are visiting Charleston, FT. Sumter or Patriots point. We would stay here again if we visit the Charleston area again. - Freelander1

Part of the Charleston County Park system on John's Island. Call before you go, if there is no event they do allow public camping. Good access to Keiwah Island and downtown Charleston (south side). A long drive to Fort Sumter on the north side. Excellent service and people at the office. Grass site with picnic table. Offers MANY trails for walking or horseback, even a carriage ride if you like. - SailorGolf

Small campground. 25 spacious sites. Seven sites have full hookups. Remainder have water and electricity. Dump station is easily accessible as you leave the campground. Numerous tent sites in the woods. RV sites are packed gravel/sand. Roads are packed sand. There were heavy rains prior to our arrival. Workers were spreading sand on the roads to smooth them out. Brand-new electrical utility connections worked perfectly. Water and sewer connections worked fine. Excellent television reception. Virtually no AT & T cell coverage. No wi-fi. Bathrooms were ok, but in need of updating. No trash receptacles in the campground. Dumpster facility accessible as you leave the campground. NOTE: bring lots of mosquito repellent! Mosquitos were aggressive and abundant, especially along the trails through the woods. - tomnorman457

Stayed 3 days. Campground host, was very nice & accommodating. All dirt roads with potholes. Sites are packed dirt which on rainy days would be very messy. Very overgrown trees & shrubs at sites. Only E&W (30 amp). Walked through tent & cabin areas which looked very nice. Bathroom & showers were kept clean. Area to dispose of trash is a long distance away from sites. Personally would not camp here again. - rvgirl54
Aug 2015 - $15.00
We arrived after work on Friday and were greeted by a very nice ranger who checked us in quickly. We had no troubles finding the site or hooking up. Everything was great about the campground, there were no 'frills' but there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, it was very quiet with spacious sites.
The state park is beautiful with opportunities to hike or walk the 1.5 mile trail.
The trash is out by the park exit but if leaving the park or going for a walk it isn't too bad.
Restrooms were well kept, we saw people in there 2x a day cleaning. There is only one restroom/shower house in the campground, we had the farthest site but it was only 0.22 mile round trip.
The park office has board games for campers to borrow but there hours are limited (11-12am and 4-5pm) so you have to plan to get in there.
For a family with 2 young children it was perfect as the kids could ride their bikes and there were hardly any cars. - MVP

Great campground, right on the shore of Lake Moultrie. Roomy sites, some on the shoreline. Shoreline sites are on concrete pads; remaining sites are dirt. Could be a problem during heavy rain. Sites were level and maintained. Our site had a picnic table and a fire ring. Small shopette. LP and firewood sold. Boat rentals. Cabins available for rent, similar to KOA cabins. Bathrooms were cleaned and stocked each day during the week. We stayed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so we can't comment on how things work on the weekends. We enjoyed our three-day stay, and we'll definitely stay here again. - tomnorman457

The campground could use some updating, sewer and cable. A little more policing of camper sites. A lot of excessive gear cluttering sites. Good spot for a short stay. - Rcstpugs

Not a huge campground but fun for a weekend getaway. Bathroom facilities need an overhaul. Great place for kids with playground and swimming available. - heartspuntreasureprimitives

Predictable, but still amusing: Ronda Rousey's new set of Saturday Night Live promos focus mostly on the UFC fighter's strength, confidence and general badass-ery. Just try to guess what happens when SNL cast member Beck Bennett puts his arm around her — or when he challenges her to a fight while wearing a wrestling onesie.
It's exactly what you think. Rousey's maiden SNL voyage, featuring musical guest Selena Gomez, airs Jan. 23.

Hallman vs Tavares is off: "Hallman fails to make weight for 2nd straight fight"
Just heard it after the weigh ins
He came in seven pounds over weight - Tavares said he would fight if Hallman could get to three pounds over, but he couldn't.
Tavares will still earn his show money for making weight.

Hey fellas keep an ear out for some druken cheers for takedowns, guard passes, sweeps, and other grappling related triumphs.
Me and some buddies are driving down for some heavy afternoon drinking and an evening of UFC. We want to get good and drunk for the first prelim.
If the ref stands up the fight when Mike Pierce is pressing Aaron Simpson up against the cage he can expect a few boos. :sarcastic12:
Facebook event cancelled. One of the fights will take the hallman/tavares' slot. Hope we get to see both during the evening.
So much to get home early for nothing!
Anyone else just hearing Ariel Helwani preparing his lines?
My Facebook stream is airing Fuel prelims! :thumbsup:
Yeah, fuel prelims have just started.
Stephens/Edwards cancelled.
