Sites are grass and not very level. Not a very well kept KOA. Staff was nice, but no real amenities. Ok for an overnight. We camped at Ilwaco / Long Beach KOA in a Motorhome.Undo

This park was still closed as of March 23, 2011 due to construction. We camped at Ilwaco / Long Beach KOA in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2010 - $1.00
The campground was closed when I passed by in early August 2010. Its website reports closure is temporary, but gives no reopening date. We camped at Ilwaco / Long Beach KOA in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2009 - $45.00
This is a nice open grassy park. The pull through sites are grassy and easy to enter. The sites are uneven, but spacious. The gravel access road is narrow. WiFi worked just fine. The cable TV at site 13 was fuzzy. They have a nice playground for the little ones. There are some sites that are right off the road, so make sure you know where you site will be in the campground if you don't want road noise. There are some great group camp areas for tenters (nice and private). It was a nice quiet camping experience for 3 nights. We camped at Ilwaco / Long Beach KOA in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2007 - $42.00
Site are big and grassy, no trees in the full hook up sites. Had a descent cable selection and at least when I was there the park was quiet and mostly empty. Age old problem, wireless. Only goes to about site 2. I think it was their wireless. (Maybe third party.) We camped at Ilwaco / Long Beach KOA in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2007 - $39.00
Sites are uneven spots in an open grass field with erratic mowing and chuck holes. Narrow gravel roads. Electric and water hookups appear to be 50 years old. Staff seems overwhelmed and confused when they are available, which isn't very often. Definitely would not return at these prices, and are considering a letter to KOA.

Sansevieria Ayo Crown
Anyone seen these before? I ordered Sansevieria Trifasciata off my supplier's price-list and got these.
Apart from the nice red fringe, they are growing in a spiral.
Bit more expensive (UK ã5.50, usually about ã3.00) but really nice.
That was me that started that thread. And yes I was beaten by Woodnative who came into the contest with a Sans. Masoniana which is what the above look like. My widest Sans. tri. ~ Futura was 4 inches. 4 inches is the minium for these kind. I now own 3 of these mosters.
Never thought I'd go gaga over a sans but the rippling effect is like light on water.
I'm stunned!
At some point I will have to get my hands on a slice of leaf for the terrarium...I wonder if they have it anywhere near me...
Thanks for giving me a fresh look at sans SJ,I should look into more of them but have avoided it for fear of the compulsion to procure as many different kinds as possible(and the rest of my collection is out of control lol).
Gorgeous, but their mix looks like pure peat from here -- I just don't understand why anyone (guessing a greenhouse) would pot them up in that. I could guess it's to be light-weight for shopping, but then I wonder how is it they don't rot?
Stush, if I had kept looking at that discussion, I'd probably know that. Like Asleep, I'm likely to want the noticeably different Sans I might see, but my "only buy in person or obtain through trade" rule makes me pretty safe. Maybe I'm afraid I'll find myself panhandling openly, in the undignified throes of desire...
PG, I wonder that every time I buy a plant. The 150+ succulents I've bought so far this year have all been in peat, Crassulas, Senecios, Lithops, Sedums, Grapto-whatevers. It's awful, especially for a serial overwaterer who's always in recovery! They must be moved or I will kill them for sure, not to mention they blow over/around if one lets them get as dry as they should be in that stuff - which is way more dry than I can take, from the color of it in the pic. Remember that Moonshine I had that took almost 3 months to dry out? This stuff probably actually works well for the grower, practically never needs water, and nobody there loving them to death anyway.
We need fast draining if and only if we are growing in our house. With limited light, heat and air movement. Except for a draft which is deadly. Water is not a problem as long as they are in a heated greenhouse. So the peat works fine for them. But in our dryer, colder homes, wet roots mean rotted roots. When in Florida, I saw them in clay soil and wet and loving it. it was warm and that made the difference. My house, even at 62 degrees is way too cold for them. I plan to put them up in mini green houses in my basement thru the winter months.
They are in that really fibrous stuff, whatever that's called.
It seems to be an article of faith on here that compost choice is really important, but I really don't find it so.
We keep all our stuff in sealed containers and manage to keep most things alive by moderating the watering.
Attached is a pic of what I used the Ayo Crowns for: a mixed 'desert' bed (as we call them) in a junior school (6-11 age group). Usually no one takes much notice but it was really gratifying having all these kids going "wow, nice plants" and asking what they were all called.
There's 50-120cm high Sans Laurentii, plus S. Moonshine, the Ayo Crowns, S. Hahnii, Crassula Ovata and Neoregelias in there.

Intelligent and entertaining.
The format of this debut novel by lawyer Susan Rieger is the hook. The story is about a wealthy couple in the fictional state of Narragansett going through a mildly nasty divorce. The format is all the correspondence involving the wife's lawyer, Sophie Diehl. It includes excerpts from relevant legislation, internal law firm memos, court submissions, and personal letters. The book also includes a few sub-plots in the form of personal e-mail messages and letters between Sophie and her friends and family members.
I know I've read novels that were presented as the narrator's memoir or diary. And I've read stories that included correspondence. But I can't recall a book that was entirely composed of letters, memos, and e-mails. It's set in 1999, when the World Wide Web was still sort of new, so the law firm still does much of its official writing as paper memos. E-mail is used more for informal communication. The wife tends to write letters by hand. The books uses a variety of fonts and "stationery" to set off the different pieces of writing.
Rieger does a good job of presenting a coherent narrative, but the book loses steam on a few counts. First, reading legal documents is not exciting. The legal lingo is kept to a minimum, but it's still like reading a will or real estate contract. There is no colour or intensity in the official correspondence. Second, most of the interesting action takes place off stage. Sophie has a romantic sub-plot, but her dates are all described in post-event e-mails to her best friend. We're getting the details second-hand, as it were. The wife and her soon-to-be ex-husband have a few fights, but we only learn about them a day or so after they happen (every single letter and e-mail is dated) when she describes them to Sophie. Third, the core divorce story isn't really that gripping. There's an attempt to add some suspense through unusual behaviour of the couple's 11-year-old daughter, but it never comes close to page-turning tension. There are a few sub-plots, including Sophie's love life, some law office politics, and Sophie's parental issues, but they're all fairly conventional.
It's implied that Sophie has gone through some personal growth, but it's hard to tell from her correspondence. In the end, this novel is skilfully constructed, but doesn't have much emotional pull.
An interesting case study of a divorce, particularly the legal and financial aspects. This might also have been a good novel, if the author had focused on the divorcing family. Instead, she stuffed the book with distracting sub-plots about the lawyer -- a twenty-something woman, struggling to come to grips with her family, office politics and boyfriend. Too bad. It didn't have to be chick-lit. .
A darkly comic epistolary novel stuffed with emails, letters, legal memos and handwritten notes follows a messy divorce through the eyes of young law associate Sophie Diehl, who represents the wife in the case, while simultaneously dealing with office politics and her own not-so-successful romantic life.
Loved it! Highbrow chick-lit. The feel of this book: a Bridget Jones type grows up, gets rich, gets dumped, gets bitter and wants revenge while her quirky, young lawyer cleans up the big mess despite problems and drama of her own. Told entirely through memos, legal articles, reports, letters and emails which makes it a fast, breezy, page-turner. A fun look at wealth and angst in New York.
This novel is not an ordinary read: it is composed entirely of emails, memos, law excerpts and letters. The unfolding of the story follows a couple getting a divorce, but the focus of the story is really on Sophie, a lawyer at the law firm that handles the divorce. I found that some of the case law excerpts were a bit boring, but as a whole I really liked the structure. It reminded me a bit of Where'd you go Bernadette. If you are addicted to The Good Wife, you will probably like it too.

These records are the result of research made by Nikita Golyshev (CD-R) in a period between March and August of a year 2007. The main objective of this experiment was to detect some acoustic properties of oil as substance, placed in different capacities such as crystal glasses and medical bulbs.
The obtained 15 sound fragments are collected by the frequency and spectrum analysis of oil behaviour, its molecular changes in various environments (aggressive and non-agressive) and wide range of oil interactions with metal.
- CD-R and Quest.Room.Project "Digital Snow"
Nikita Golyshev, known as CD-R, and Bogdan Dullsky (Quest.Room.Project) met virtually and have recorded an album. First, they share music file sources in the net, and then processed with real-time sound recordings through peer-to-peer connection.
The result is a collage of acoustic and digital pieces, gathered in one snowfall.

Continuing their worldwide outreach as the "Ambassadors of Goodwill"™, the iconic Harlem Globetrotters have announced the debut of a new community outreach program, "The ABCs of Bullying Prevention."
This impactful program was developed to discourage bullying, increase empathy among our youth, and give kids, teachers, and youth administrators the means to tackle this growing issue in our society.
The Globetrotters designed the program in coordination with the National Campaign to Stop Violence. The program focuses on Action, Bravery, and Compassion, comprising the ABCs.
The Globetrotters will bring "The ABCs of Bullying Prevention" to more than 300 schools and youth centers as part of their 2013 "You Write the Rules" World Tour, celebrating the team's 87th consecutive year.
"The ABCs of Bullying Prevention" targets kids ages 6-12 and involves Globetrotter players discussing the three key words in the ABCs and tools that kids can use on a daily basis to reduce bullying. The Globetrotters equate what it means to be part of a team to how kids can offer support to one another to help stop bullying.
The important message of bullying and violence prevention is conveyed with participation from the kids – and the team's signature ball handling skills and humor – for a well-balanced program that informs and entertains.
"I had my share of bullying incidents in school when I was younger, but it's grown more serious now, especially since it happens in many forms in today's society, like online and in text messages," said Globetrotter Flight Time Lang.
"Growing up in the foster care system, I was often bullied, sometimes just for the clothes that I wore," said Globetrotter Bull Bullard. "We want kids to know they are not alone and give them tools to help free them from bullying."
NCSV, a non-profit organization that works with middle school students, firmly believes that young people, who think about their actions in the non-confrontational ways that "The ABCs of Bullying Prevention" extols, can create a culture where aggressive behavior is frowned upon and violence is thereby reduced.
Students frequently cite bullying as a cause of violence that they experience, and the rate at which kids are reporting this cause is increasing. Reaching kids early in their lives can teach valuable lessons in character and empathy from positive role models like the Harlem Globetrotters.

This is a Consolidated Catalonian triangular vase, made circa 1930's. 6 1/4" tall and about 4" along each side. Excellent condition, with no chips, nicks, or cracks. Very clear glass, no haze or water stains. The green color is very strong and will glow under black light. Of course this has the myriad bubbles and rough pontil mark that characterize this deliberately primitive-looking pattern.

Saturday Matinee – Carla Stecco
Mindful Merriness
Anna Leyland suggests that meditation could improve your day today:
From the time you wake up on this Christmas morning, take time to fully notice the little things, the smells, textures and tastes of Christmas. Each chocolate, cuddle and gift. Take time to savor it. How do the sweets look in your hand? How do they smell? How does it feel in your mouth? Notice the effort others have made to give you gifts. Look at the way they are wrapped. How it feels to pull off the paper. Consider that many other people you do not know have made effort to grow, make or transport parts of your present too. Be kind and compassionate to everyone you have contact with – including yourself. And if things don't quite go as planned or you are feeling overwhelmed by the celebrations, just take your seat by the side of the road and spend a few moments focusing your attention on your breath.

2015 Fascia Congress Registration is Open!
The 4th International Fascia Congress is scheduled for Sept 18-20, 2015 in Washinton, DC. This Congress will sell out (they always have in the past) so I highly recommend you register early – particularly with the roster of speakers that includes: Leon Chaitow, Julie Ann Day, Tom Findley, Serge Gracovetsky, Jean-Claude Guimberteau, Boris Hinz, Micahel Kjaer, Helene Langevin, Siegfried Mense, Robert Schleip, Jay Shah, Paul Standley, Antonio Stecco, Carla Stecco, Andry Vleeming and these are just I folks I know! There are many other presenters with fascia-nating credentials that I can't wait to experience and gain insight from.
If you are already an afascianado this congress is a must. If you are dipping your foot in the water this is an unparalleled opportunity to plunge into the deep end! Registration information is here.

It has been a great time teaching Fascial Fitness with PJ O'Clair and we will have video on that soon! In the meantime here is a great little video of her other types of movement and exercise in Spain.
Fascial Fitness in Massachusetts
Hi Everyone! Been very busy prepping for a 2 day Fascial Fitness class in Manchester-by-the-Sea – it'll be the first Fascial Fitness class taught in the US without either Robert Schleip or Divo Mueller. Fortunately I'm not doing this alone and the one and only, the amazing PJ O'Clair teaching with me! I'll keep you updated as we move along. Fascially, of course!
And Today, Time to Fast…
Which actually will boost your immune system, according to research reported on by the UK Telegraph: " During each cycle of fasting, this depletion of white blood cells induces changes that trigger stem cell-based regeneration of new immune system cells.
In trials humans were asked to regularly fast for between two and four days over a six-month period.
Scientists found that prolonged fasting also reduced the enzyme PKA, which is linked to ageing and a hormone which increases cancer risk and tumour growth.
'We could not predict that prolonged fasting would have such a remarkable effect in promoting stem cell-based regeneration of the hematopoietic system,' said Professor Valter Longo, who was involved with the study."
Happy Thanksgiving!
There are a lot of interesting and frankly weird traditions around this most American of holidays including this old one that sounds something like Halloween! Today we are making a turducken. Yes, they are real. But really hard to catch in the wild.
I think its really getting worse, the lack of tradition that is, or I'm getting old and now entitled complaining about how worse everything's getting. That's one part of the "Entitlement Class" you don't hear debated about in this country. But seriously, when the Dollar Store is open at 7AM and most grocery stores are open until3PM? Really? That's a "family holiday"? If you don't have your food by Thanksgiving morning you should go hungry. And there I am channeling my father in all his Pittsburgh Dad wisdom.
But I do think there is something wrong with the whole "Black Friday" -thing, and now we've got some stores opening on Thanksgiving evening. Funny how the criers about the war on the family here in this country almost never extend their criticisms to stores that decide to be open. If it's capitalism – it's okay!
But I digress…
It seems that cultivating gratitude is actually a way to stop impulse buying, writes David DeSteno: " As a psychologist who studies decision making, I'm acutely aware that marketers know how the mind works, and they aren't hesitant to use that knowledge to stoke consumers' desires and lessen their self-control… one of the mind's greatest vulnerabilities: the innate human preference for rapid reward, or immediate gratification. Most people, for example, would opt to receive $20 today rather than $100 in a year, even though, logically speaking, an investment guaranteed to quintuple your money in 12 months is hard to beat."
So what can we do?
"...rather than trying to override your decision-making impulses, a better strategy might be to try to change them. And recent research suggests that an effective way to do that is by cultivating the emotion of gratitude.
That's right: As hokey as it sounds, the solution to the shopping season's excesses may lie in the very message of Thanksgiving itself."
Give in to your impulses and click here to read the whole story. And Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers, whatever country you may be from!
Franchised Meditation
Might not be such a bad thing.
Former editor at both Glamour and Vogue, Suze Yalof Schwartz has opened a guided meditation center called Unplug. Their slogan: "Hurry up and slow down." She also likens it to "a SoulCycle for meditation."

What weed barrier to use in pathways?
I have a garden with raised beds. Due to all of the spring rains/summer storms ALL of my mulch ran off this year resulting in horrific weeds between my beds.
I'd like to put a weed barrier down between the beds in areas which never get planted. I'll be covering the barrier with mulch.
I have several concerns about materials:
1) I need something which won't be slippery if the kids are on it - with or without mulch on top (ie it may drift away again if we get too many storms (slight angle/runoff in the garden area).
2) It should be water permeable so that rains and watering can seep through (not to water plants, just to prevent a pond from forming in the garden ).
3) It should be long lasting as opposed to short term degradeable.
If anyone has any suggested products and vendors, I'd appreciate the advice.
I'm slightly puzzled. I think of raised beds as pretty much always being level at top. Why rain would wash away that much mulch I'm not understanding. Nevertheless, I think the solution is just to replace the mulch with a good thick layer 2-3" after settling.
I've never seen a situation where weed barrier actually worked. It looks like it will in the beginning, but soon the mulch on top begins to break down to the point where it will support weed growth. Or enough dirt eventually blows and washes into the area to allow plants to grow on top of the barrier. I think it's better just to keep a good mulch layer. If you maintain that and keep up with weeds for a couple of years, it will become manageable. Weed barrier is also a pita if you want it removed.
I prefer to maintain with chemicals (mainly Round-up & 2,4-d) and find that after the initial weeds are battled and a good layer of mulch is maintained, it takes very little spraying to keep things touched up. With a fan tip in your sprayer (instead of round tip) it's possible to get precision spraying control. I don't know how people maintain a yard without a back-pack sprayer (...though I'm sure some people here will be happy to tell me.)
Perhaps I was unclear.
The raised beds likely are level - it's the garden that has a gentle slope.
The weed barrier is for between the beds (the rows)- I use a weed paper with fertilizer in the beds to keep the weeds down (breaks down during the season but the weeds generally don't have a chance to take over.
Between the beds all the mulch washed away and the weeds became unmanageable.
We use a profession grade weed cloth called double bonded weed cloth or erosion cloth.
You can get it at professional irrigation and landscape supply shops.
It has the texture of dense thick felt. It is permeable .
It's the same stuff that the hiway construction crews use when they lay down asphalt.
If you are using mulch as a top dressing on top of a weed barrier cloth you might find the shredded or double grind mulch to hold better on steep to moderate slopes.
My back yard paths are 11 years old and have double bonded weed barrier cloth under 2 inches of crushed granite fines. I rarely have to hand weed the paths.
attached is a photo of what it looks like :
From Figone
The garden itself is surrounded by plastic edging - but it is almost level with the ground at some points. Given the magnitude of the rains we get in the Spring, I get a lot of water run-off through the garden which takes the mulch with it (the beds are 12" tall and don't have any erosion issues.
If I could find a plastic edging with a much higher profile I could likely direct the water flow around/away from the garden or keep the mulch inside - I don't know of any sources for 6" or higher edging.
Does this answer your question?
Trex ( composite lumber ) mades a 2x6. I believe they also make a 2x8 as well.
That will give you your additional height.
Another option might be to consider digging a shallow open v- trench in front of the raised bed so that the water has a channel to flow in and then out.
If the open v-ditch is not an option than a trench drain infront of the bed might work, take time to install the proper percentage of slope so that the water is carried away rather than sitting in a gravel sump.
Again, the problem isn't the raised beds.
My garden is 35 x 35 and surrounded by a fence which, while pretty, doesn't keep the rabbits out - that's a different thread .
Inside the garden are a number of raised beds - some are North-South and some are oriented East-West (both desriptions should really be followed by 'ish').
The space inside the garden between the beds has been covered in mulch to keep weeds down and make walking barefoot/having kids play/etc. more pleasant.
The mulch has (and likely may continue to) wash away in the wet Spring and summer rains we've been having.
What I would like is to put down a weed barrier and then remulch - likely with root mulch which will resist floating away.
I'm looking for a good barrier at a good price; I think we have the type defined, I don't know any good sources online.
If I could raise the edging, that would help divert the water at it gently flows down towards the garden. I've never seen a really high profile edging - perhaps someone can point me to a good product there.
Thanks for everyone's input. It is much appreciated.
No comprendo.
......"put down a weed barrier and then remulch - likely with root mulch which will resist floating away."
Are you asking for a ground cover plant , ie "root mulch" ?
The trex that I suggested can be used as a high profile edging - google will help you.
If you have " the type defined " then it might be helpful if you shared that info. .... cuz I'm just not gett'n it.
If your mulch is floating away it sounds like you have a excessive water sheet flowing across the yard .
Address the sheet flow with either a grade change or drainage.
below is a photo of a raised bed garden that had a terrible surface and subsurface drainage problem.
We addressed the subsurface and surface drainage by installing some drains and augmenting the topo.
Instead of wood bark mulch , a soft rounded river rock was used.
during construction - note the roll of weed barrier cloth in the foreground on the deck and the raised edges :
From Figone
during construction with stone mulch applied over double bonded weed cloth.
From Figone
Trying to help you out here but I'm a little slow on the uptake . The 'root mulch' thing has me scratching my head.
Are you talking about typical rain causing wash out of the mulch or the ten inches of rain your area got in one day this summer?
If its the latter, you can landscape your property to deal with the once in 100 year rain fall, or you can clean stuff up one time in 100 years.
just to be clear - black plastic will not work in this situation no matter how much you want it to. also, landscape fabric is not "weed block" it is a material to use with other materials to minimize weeds - when you use it in the proper way (as dd described above). if you put down "landscape fabric" or "weed block fabric" and then mulch on top of it, you will grow weeds; weeds that are harder to pull out because they are now rooted into a nice layer of landscape fabric.
To give you some solutions, you can put down peastone, stone or as they do here in farmland - straw - but be sure its straw not hay.

Jobless Claims Rise By 8,000
By Mark Memmott
There were 362,000 first-time clams for unemployment insurance last week, up 8,000 from the week before, the Employment and Training Administration just reported.
That means the number of claims has moved up slightly, but remains around the lowest level since this time four years ago.

consumned with grief
what do you do if your every waking thought is of your father, or everynight you dream of your dad alive, and not passed.
Last night I remember being in our old house and dad sitting awake in his recliner and mom sleeping on the couch and I am shaking mom awake "mom , dads alive, he came back". Similar dreams I have like this nightly,
I just feel so sad, I miss him so much, i continue fighting to find a way to live without dad, but its not one filled with happiness. not like it was before. on dads dying bed he told my pastor that robin (me) always found a way to be happy no matter what situation and being upbeat, but without dad here, he was so important in our lifes, i dont know if he relized what a jewel he was to us all, my mom, my husband, my girls, he was the strong hold, he was the piece to hold the puzzel in.
seeing mom breaks my heart. leaving my mom breaks it harder. the overwheliming task of becoming a widower. she is cleaning out his garage, oh how he had everything, I saw my dads unfinished woodwork he was going to do. a nightlight fo rmy girls.
You didn't say how long ago your father passed, but I would guess it was fairly recently because you are suffering so. Seeing his work or anything which he used regularly just tears at your heart.
Stay in close contact with your mom. Talk to her every day if you can.
I'm sorry for your loss and your pain. Sounds like you had a wonderful father. Later, when things settle down, you can think of ways to honor his memory. I always travel to the town where my mother lived to donate things to the thrift shop which benefits poor people there. I save my best donations for that shop. You can think of things to do which would have pleased your father also.
Take care.
That must hurt so much to have mom say she is too busy for you! Maybe it's something she is doing to help her through this terrible time. People go through all kinds of emotions and have ideas that are not always correct when they are in shock from a loss like this. She's surviving as best she can.
You need a buddy, someone to talk to. Could be a sibling, cousin, neighbor, friend, husband, co-worker...someone just to share your loss. Maybe someone who seemed supportive or caring at your dad's funeral, if you had one. Reach out, Violarose, it really helps to talk. And don't forget, it's ok to cry...you need to cry.
thank you for taking the time to respond. oh boy, i sure have cried, i have talked to my best buddies, have a great husband i say the same things over and over too. I am disabled due to a virus that i got 5 years ago, rendered me with CFS and seizures. my dad spent twice a day with my family helping us helping me and my girls get to school. we had such a good friendship. we miss him like crazy.
elizabeth my daughter cried during the whole worship last sunday,- and emily spent the time drawing pictures of dad as an angel in heaven. but now they are acting like my normal sweety pies. they are 8 in 3rd grade (twins)
