We worked with Lee Barthelette at this hotel for several months in advance of a multi-room stay for a baseball team. She regularly checked on us and made sure all our bookings were going smoothly. Of course, we had people not meet the booking deadline and she, as well as the front desk staff assisted those booking late to make sure everyone was taken care of. The rooms were very roomy. Plenty of room for 5 boys and a coach. The families who stayed with a coach very very comfortable. We were able to get a group rate lower than a non-suite hotel with breakfast included and then the hotel also provided our team free pizza one evening. The only drawback to this hotel is that the pool is indoors and very steamy in Summer. Everyone we encountered at this hotel went out of their way to make our stay excellent and it was!

A lot of pleasure to stay in Villas Rio MarPosted Dec 25, 2014
Pros: Very good restaurant, although prices are pretty close to USA, but breakfast is included. Menu was the same for each day, as in all restaurants there.
Cons: Add more space in rooms... Add minimal set of plates knifes, forks etc in the kitchen area to eat fruits.
Location: 1. Rafting 2. Zip-lining 3. Hikes in jungles to see waterfalls etc.
This was our first trip to Costa Rica - country with main income from tourism. We had a party of six people, two families for two rooms. All of us were pretty happy to stay there. All cabins are located in the well maintained garden of tropical plants. It looks like paradise.

Nice budget hotelPosted Oct 31, 2014 on Hotels.com
Very nice budget hotel. Hotels.com was unable to inform us in time that their pool was under repairs due to a recent earthquake, but the management and staff were very accommodating in helping us with a new booking. We ended up staying one night in a Jr. Suite and it was great! Clean, lots of space. I just wish there were more chairs in the veranda to lounge in, or a hammock...!

Toplocatie jungle, super staffPosted Sep 20, 2014
Pros: Locatie, medewerkers (met name de dames bij receptie en in restaurant), zwembad, dicht bij strand en Domical.
Geweldige locatie in de jungle, maar ook dichtbij strand. Geweldige mensen bij de receptie en in restaurant (met name de dames) die alles doen om het ons naar de zin te maken en die zeker willen meedenken om dingen op te lossen in jouw voordeel, top!

Wonderful, helpful staff with excellent restaurantPosted Jul 9, 2014
Pros: beautiful grounds, wonderful & helpful staff, excellent restaurant
This was our favorite place we stayed at during our 10 day trip to Costa Rica. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The grounds are lush and well-maintained with many birds. butterflies and iguanas. My two boys loved the pool which was lit with coloful lights in the evening. There is a full bar and, we normally like to venture out and eat somewhere other than our hotel, but the service was so great and the food so delicious the first night, we ended up eating in the restaurant all 3 nights. It is a 30 minute drive to Manuel Antonio Park, but there are other beaches closer to the hotel. We didn't spend much time at the beach because too much rain made the water very cloudy. If you like horseback riding, don't miss the horse trip to the Nayuca Waterfalls (the hotel can arrange it for you) - one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip, the guides were fantastic and the horses beautiful and sure-footed.

Opposing war, racism, sexism, climate change, economic injustice and high-stakes testing.
Car seats are admittedly a parochial concern. And, although I have two small kids at home, car seats are something I haven't had to think about as much as most parents because we're lucky enough to not own a car (and to live in one of the few areas of America in which lack of car ownership isn't a crippling hindrance.)
Still, I couldn't help noticing the headline in an email I recently received from the terrific enviro mag Grist. It seems that car seats have now joined the list of potential dangers to your children. Apparently, crash tests aren't the only way to prove the safety of a car seat. A Michigan-based environmental group, The Ecology Center, released a study this week indicating that chemicals such as chlorine, bromine and lead - which have been linked to cancer, as well as liver, thyroid and developmental problems in children and lab animals - could be leaching from seats, endangering the health of young children.
The center, which tested 62 different car seats, obviously isn't advocating driving with your kids on the lap Britney Spears-style. "Car seats save lives. It's absolutely essential that parents put their children in them while driving," says the group's Jeff Gearhart, but "some car seats are safer than others when it comes to chemical composition."
The Ecology Center suggests the Graco SnugRide Emerson or EvenFlo Discovery Churchill as the two safest seats to buy. The most dangerous: The Combi Centre EX Mango and Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Toffee infant seats; Britax Marathon Platinum convertible seats; and Graco's TurboBooster Emily and TurboBooster SafeSeat booster seats.
Click here to check out a database listing the results for all car seats. And if you own one of the chairs that is a candidate for leaching, the report suggests parking out of direct sunlight, opening car windows, cleaning regularly, and limiting junior's time in the seat as ways to decrease the chances of ingesting chemical.
Taken together with the fact that the number one cause of death for infants and children in the US is automobile accidents, I suggest simply driving less.

I don't know how many of you scroll down far enough to see my current reads. I haven't done this sort of thing in a long time (not scroll down far enough to see my current reads.) Wow. I'm having some serious (both written and real life) Aspie, literal issues.
No, I'm talking about my ADD, here. Usually it's with one book. If the material is relatively easy, I may only make it through a limited number of pages. Concentration still not so improved with the Concerta, but better. However, I can't devour books like I used to. Quel, quel, quel drag.
Or, if the book is still relatively easy and I'm really into it, I may tend to bounce all over to see what comes next, skipping hither and yon, even if I don't like to do that. I have to go through the book from beginning to end! I'd never understand any of it if I didn't!
Now? Again, not in a long time. I'm reading three at once! I'm finding it pretty funny, too.
I usually read when I've popped my pills and flop into bed. Try and relax a bit and help me get to sleep. Since I've got three on the go, I'm now I finding I stare for a fair while, quite indecisive about which one I should pick up. Last night, I chose the closest within reach!
I wrote in this post that I was now reading three, plus I had bought three new Graphic Novels! I'm trying very hard not to touch those.
So, if you don't know what I end up fighting with every night, here you go:
"The Boomer Bible" by R.F. Laird
"Speaking of Sadness" by David A. Karp
"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte
I'm not sure if we could do any sort of "dissection" based upon my choices. Maybe only this. Number one: Humour. Number two: Mental Health. Number three: Classics. That's as far as I think you could go.
My next thought is this, ultimately. Number one: Humour (being the overall–except, perhaps "pseudo-history?") Number two: Depression. Number three: Depression. Indeed. The latter two aren't really so funny at all, are they?
Although, some of the peoples' quotes of their experiences with Depression are kind of funny. One guy said that if there was a million dollars across the room, with Depression, you'd never be able to get it. Depression's so bad, you just can't get out of bed, so forget that nice, cool million. Well, I think back on some of my worst episodes of Depression, and sure as shit, I'd get out of bed for that amount of money! Probably even less!
So, what can you say about that? Sure, Depression's awful. It is debilitating. However, I would still take money if I became depressed. Am I a "Depression Gold Digger?" No. I don't think so. I've yet to see my Pot of Gold or any other financial reward when I still get depressed. I suppose I can keep hoping, but I'd rather avoid Depression altogether and buy lottery tickets instead.
But back to humour in Wuthering Heights. No, not so much. Unless you're quite a sadistic creature and you really get off on storybook character's pain and misery.
It's one of my favourite books of all time. I lost my copy way back so I had to go and pick up another one. It's been on my mind so much lately. Like a "Literary Earworm!" And before you ask, I'm not a sadistic creature who's getting off on all the pain and misery of it.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Local H
Its follow-up, 1996's much improved As Good as Dead, was another story, however, considerably expanding Local H's sonic palette and firmly establishing their identity as Midwestern ironists supreme. Led by well-crafted power pop radio singles like "Bound for the Floor" and "Eddie Vedder," the album was eventually certified gold and helped earn the Local H their alt-rock cred, while simultaneously validating the duo's contradictory ties to classic hard rock. Though less focused and not quite as immediate, 1998's still solid Pack Up the Cats seemed set to maintain the band's rising momentum. But record company woes (Island's parent company, Polygram, was in the process of being absorbed by Universal Music) effectively clipped the band at the knees, the album became lost in the shuffle, and Local H went on a near three-year hiatus. In the interim, Daniels left the band under amicable circumstances and was replaced by former Triple Fast Action drummer (and Bun E. Carlos drum tech) Brian St. Clair.
Lucas and St. Clair returned in 2000 with a new album and a new label. Here Comes the Zoo (Palm Pictures) featured more of the Midwestern angst and cutting satire that had always defined Lucas' hard rock, but added the busier drumming style of St. Clair. Incessant touring followed; in 2003, the duo returned once again with the No Fun EP for the Chicago punk imprint Thick. The band's fifth album, Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?, arrived in spring 2004. The band released the 18-track live album Local H Comes Alive in 2005. Three years later, the duo followed up with 12 Angry Months, a concept album based on a failed relationship. The covers EP Local H's Awesome Mix Tape, Vol. 1 followed in 2010. In 2012, Local H returned to original material with the studio album Hallelujah! I'm a Bum. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

What are your favorite charities?
Many of you give a little something extra to a favorite charity or two during the Holidays. Many of you probably give thoughout the year, as well. Who's on your list as among the most deserving this year?
These are mine:
Heifer International - I like this group because they use your funds to purchase animals for families in very poor areas. Along with the donated animals, they teach and coach so that the initial gift turns into a herd/gaggle/flock. The requirements of the program are that the recipients care for the animals and then pass on some of the offspring to others in their village. It's been a very successful program. (www.heifer.com)
Goodwill Industries - most people just see the stores, but the revenue from the stores funds the real business of Goodwill. What they do is provide job training and job placement for people who have not been in the workforce. Some of the clients are physically or mentally disabled, but many come from socially disadvantaged situations and really don't know how to find or hold a job. Goodwill has a huge success rate and has been putting people to work for over 100 years.
Habitat for Humanities - these are the people who build or remodel homes, giving families an opportunity for decent housing outside crime-ridden areas. One of the things I like best about this program is that families can earn the opportunity for housing by working to build homes for others.
World Wildlife Fund - There are lots of organizations that work to preserve and protect the animals we share the planet with. I like this one best because they have a sound history.
The Nature Conservancy - They use their funds to purchase land and preserve it, as well as promoting ecological awareness worldwide.
There are hundreds of other worthy causes and organizations. It's hard to do the research on all of them to see who squanders the money we give them and who does a good job. Who do you like?
Hospice, Haiti Missions at Salijo's church and Ronald McDonald House. Not that I'm able to give to them all, but those are my fav.
There are 2 Ronald McDonald Houses in Indianapolis. One is attached directly to Riley Hospital and is accessable for daytime napping, showers, laundry, meals and is open from 9-9. You can open the fridge or go into the pantry and take what you want. You also are able to cook your own meals if you want to. They have 6 rooms for overnight available on a daily basis if the big house doesn't have room. There are books, a fireplace and they try to make it as comfortable for the families as they can. The other RMH is across the street from the hospital and has lots more room than the one at the hospital, play rooms etc and is more geared for a family stay. Nick and Julie have been staying at the big RMH since Nov 13 and the little house at the hospital was used a lot, not only by us, but other families there, too. To donate, you really don't have to give money, but just supplying a home-cooked meal is more comforting than I can say. I can't tell you how good just plain real mashed potatoes and gravy tasted!
Sorry....got a little carried away......
I do not usually give to different charities: the missions fund at our church, Goodwill gets donations from me throughout the year as well as the fact that I shop there also, and the childrens shoebox campaign every year. But, I give care boxes to needy families around our town that have paper products, cleaning supplies and food in them. I also work with a few different people to host benifits for people in our community that have cancer. I am currently working on one that is a friend of mine. I make rag quilts to raffle or auction off for the benifits as well as I am hosting this one for her. We also choose one needy family, either through our church or another church here in town, to sponsor at Christmas with toys, clothing, and food. With soo many in our community losing their jobs and needing a little help this year, it is hard to not to help out a little.
Both DH and I volunteer at Hospice. Last year we had grandparents were raising the 2 elem school children and he was in Hospice. Very sad.
We bought Christmas gifts for the fam.
This year I know of 4 people laid off, one just this week, so I am making gifts for them.
We always donate to Goodwill, and I shop there also. I bought 12 baskets from them through out the year to decorate and fill for gifts.
We also donate to the Boys Clubs and gifts for the residents at the retirement homes.
I have always beleived that what ever I do comes back to me 10 times over.
I have taught my children to give and they in return have taught their children.
The resildents at the nursing homes love the plays and signs the children preform.
Oh, my son has been laid off so I am giving to him LOL. He has a good attitude about it, but it is hard times for many.
Bless you Kate for taking the time, and risking criticism, to encourage the more fortunate to share. I worked with people at AT&T making 3 times more than I raised my fam on and none volunteered or gave to charities.

How did they do that!?
Wonder no more..
Warners has melted the answer booklet down to EPK size, releasing a new behind-the-scenes featurette for next month's "300 : Rise of an Empire".
Based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel Xerxes and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster "300," this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. "300: Rise of an Empire" pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

Browns Sign Cornerback Tramon Williams
Johnathan Daniel/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The impressive secondary of the Cleveland Browns just added another playmaker, as the team agreed on a contract with former Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams.
"Tramon is a really good and consistent player," Browns general manager Ray Farmer said in a statement. "He has had success in this league because he's a pro's pro who believes great preparation leads to great performance. We are very happy to be able to sign a player of his caliber to our secondary."
Williams had spent his entire eight-year career with the Packers, but joins a Browns team that had three members of its secondary -- cornerback Joe Haden, safety Donte Whitner, and safety Tashaun Gipson -- make the Pro Bowl in 2014.
"It's going to be awesome. I'll be glad to join those guys and help those guys with whatever they need," Williams said in a statement. "I see where these guys are going and I think I can help them go to where they want to go. They had a great defense last year with a lot of young guys on the team. I'm a veteran guy and I hope I can take them to another level."
Williams has only missed one game during his career, and recorded 71 tackles in 2014.

Report: Packers Re-Sign Randall Cobb To Four-Year Deal
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
(GREEN BAY, Wi.) -- The Green Bay Packers have found a way to keep one of their most electric weapons in Lambeau.
Wide receiver Randall Cobb has agreed to a four-year, $40 million contract with the Packers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cobb was expected to be the most highly sought after wide receiver on the free agent market. With teams like the Oakland Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars seeking help at the receiver position and with the most cap space to utilize, Cobb was expected to command around $11-$12 million per season.
Instead, the 24-year-old stays with the Packers and Aaron Rodgers. Cobb saw a breakout season last year as he caught 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Lions Cut RB Bush, Packers Cut LB Hawk
Leon Halip/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The top two teams in the NFC North have released two of their most prominent players.
The Detroit Lions will part ways with running back Reggie Bush and the Green Bay Packers have released inside linebacker A.J. Hawk.
Hawk was the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft by the Packers. He spent the last nine seasons with the team and is the franchise's all-time leading tackler with 1,118.
"A.J. is a consummate Packer and we are grateful for all that he has given and how he represented the organization over the past nine seasons," Packers general manager Ted Thompson said in a statement.
The move frees up $3.5 million in cap space for Green Bay.
Bush, who signed a four-year deal with the Lions in 2013, could not stay healthy. He played in 25 games in two seasons with Detroit, missing five this past season as he dealt with a nagging ankle injury. The move frees up $1.7 million in cap space.
The Packers (12-4) won the NFC North last season when they defeated the Lions (11-5) 30-20 in Week 17.

Aaron Rodgers on Stunning Loss to Seattle: 'Will Hurt for a While'
Tom Lynn /Getty Images(SEATTLE) -- The Green Bay Packers let one get away on Sunday in the NFC Championship game.
Green Bay had a 19-7 lead with less than three minutes remaining in the game before Russell Wilson, a huge onside kick, and Marshawn Lynch erased that deficit.
Rodgers was seeking his second Super Bowl appearance of his career, the last came in 2012 against the Steelers.
"This one's going to hurt for a while because of the close proximity to feeling that feeling when the clock hits zero when you're ahead," Rodgers said of the stunning loss. "We gave it away."
Following Wilson's one-yard touchdown run, the Seahawks went with an onside kick that Brandon Bostwick let go through his hands to give them the ball back with 2:13 left in the game, which set up the Lynch 24-yard rushing touchdown and a two-point conversion.
"Just have to move on I guess," Bostwick said of not recovering the onside kick. "I don't really know what to say."
"I just reacted and thought I'd make a play on it, but obviously I didn't," Bostwick continued.
Had it not been for Mason Crosby's fifth field goal of the game with 14 seconds left to tie things up, the Packers' season would have ended sooner.
Seattle won the coin toss in overtime and Wilson hit Jermaine Kearse with a 35-yard touchdown to end the game.
"If I played a really bad game, yeah, it'd eat at me all offseason," Packers cornerback Tramon Williams said, who was covering Kearse. "I don't feel that I played bad at all. I feel that I played that I played a good game."
"The guy at the end of the game made a play," Williams continued. "You've got to give him his credibility."
Green Bay is now 3-3 in NFC Championship games. They have five Super Bowl titles in franchise history.

Seahawks Stun Packers in OT, 28-22, Will Defend Super Bowl Title
Kevin Casey/Getty Images(SEATTLE) -- The Seattle Seahawks are headed back to defend their Super Bowl title on Feb. 1 after they came back from 19-7 down to beat the Green Bay Packers 28-22 in overtime.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw a career-high four interceptions, but pulled them within five on a rushing touchdown with 2:09 left in the game.
Following the score, Seattle went with an onside kick that Chris Matthews recovered, which set up Marshawn Lynch's 24-yard rushing touchdown with 1:25 left in the game. Wilson would hit Luke Wilson in the end zone for the two-point conversion to take a three point lead.
Mason Crosby's 48-yard field goal with 14 seconds left tied the game up before Wilson hit Jermaine Kearse with a 35-yard touchdown pass in overtime to end the game.
Lynch rushed for 157 yards in the victory to go along with the touchdown. Wilson finished the game with 209 yards, the rushing touchdown, and game winning pass to Kearse.
The Packers offense failed to convert on offense early in the first quarter and settled for two field goals.
Aaron Rodgers finished with two picks, a touchdown, and threw for 178 yards in the loss.
Seattle has now won nine in a row at Century Link in the postseason and are the first team to repeat as conference champions since the New England Patriots ten years ago.

Rodgers Says He Will Play Sunday
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images(GREEN BAY, Wis.) -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has not practiced since re-injuring his left calf on Dec. 28 against the Detroit Lions, says he will be ready to play Sunday when the team hosts the Dallas Cowboys in a NFC divisional playoff game."I'm going on Sunday," Rodgers said Wednesday. "It's just a matter of how."Rodgers missed the Packers' two practices last week during the bye as well as practice Wednesday. Despite that, there still is a chance Rodgers could practice Thursday."It just kind of depends on how it feels," Rodgers said Wednesday. "I met with Doc. I've seen him every day. Nothing really changed on the schedule. This was kind of the plan from the start. It's progressing, but we'll see how it feels tomorrow."Rodgers has started all 16 games for the Packers (12-4) this season. During that time, he's completed 65.6% of his passes for 4,381 yards, 38 touchdowns, and only five interceptions.

Rodgers Outduels Brady in Win Over Patriots
Tom Lynn /Getty Images(GREEN BAY, Wisc.) -- The Green Bay Packers went up 13-0 in the first quarter and held on late as Aaron Rodgers outdueled Tom Brady, beating the New England Patriots 26-21 on Sunday afternoon. The matchup was the first ever meeting between two of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
The Packers (9-3) got a pair of Mason Crosby field goals to open the scoring, before Rodgers found Richard Rodgers for a 32-yard touchdown pass and a 13-0 advantage. New England (9-3) got on the board quickly in the second with a 6-yard run from Brandon Bolden, making it a 13-7 game. After a third Crosby field goal the two teams traded touchdown passes, giving Green Bay a 23-14 lead at halftime.
A scoreless third quarter set up a dramatic final frame with the Patriots closing the gap almost immediately. Just over a minute into the period, Brady connected with Brandon LaFell on a 15-yard scoring play that brough New England within two at 23-21. Crosby would add another field goal, his fourth of the game, to make it a five point lead with less than nine minutes remaining in regulation.
New England looked to drive down the field and had a 3rd-and-nine at the Packers 20-yard line. Brady, who had not been sacked all game, was brought down for a 9-yard loss. That was followed by a missed field goal from Stephen Gostkowski, giving the ball back to Green Bay. With no timeouts, the Patriots could not stop the clock as the Packers improved to 6-0 at home.
Both quarterbacks performed well with each tossing a pair of touchdowns and neither throwing an interception. However, Rodgers was 24-for-38 for 368 yards while Brady was just 22-for-35 for only 245 yards.

Rodgers Ties NFL Record in Packers Rout
Tom Lynn /Getty Images(GREEN BAY Wisc.) -- Aaron Rodgers tied an NFL record by throwing six touchdowns in the first half as Green Bay walloped the Chicago Bears 55-14 on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. The Packers (6-3) jumped out to a 45-0 lead before Chicago (3-6) finally got on the board in the third quarter.
"We just kind of got things going our way," Rodgers said. "The line did a good job of giving me time to extend plays. If you extend plays, you look down the field and there's Jordy Nelson. He made some nice catches."
Nelson had six catches for 152 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Rodgers' six touchdown passes tied the Green Bay record for most scoring tosses in a game, while also tying Daryle Lamonica's NFL record for most touchdown passes in a half, which he set in 1969 while playing for Oakland.
All six of the Packers' scores in the first half came from a Rodgers pass. It began with a 1-yard strike to Brandon Bostick in the first and included scoring plays of 73, 56, and 40-yards. Chicago finally found the end zone when Jay Cutler hit Brandon Marshall for a 45-yard touchdown in the first half.
Rodgers finished the day with 325 passing yards in the win while Cutler tossed one touchdown for 272 yards to go along with two interceptions. Cutler's second interception was returned 82 yards by Casey Hayward for a touchdown.

Saints March Past Packers at Home
Chris Graythen/Getty Images(NEW ORLEANS) -- Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns while Mark Ingram ran for 172 yards and another score, helping the New Orleans Saints rout Green Bay 44-23 on Sunday night. The loss snapped the Packers (5-3) four-game winning streak while pulling the Saints (3-4) into a tie atop the NFC South.
"All we talked about all week long is just coming together as a team and playing a complete game as a team," said Brees. "It was a perfect representation of that."
Green Bay jumped on top early when Aaron Rodgers hit Randall Cobb on a 70-yard touchdown strike just two minutes into the first quarter. The Saints quickly countered with touchdown of their own, courtesy of Brandin Cooks' four-yard run. Both teams each converted three field goals in the first half, heading into halftime tied at 16-16.
The second half featured a little more defense, both teams scored on every possession in the first, but only from the Saints. After New Orleans turned the ball over on downs, the defense picked off Rodgers inside the redzone. Four plays later, Brees connected with Cooks on a 50-yard touchdown pass to put the Saints up 23-16.
Brees would also find Jimmy Graham and Josh Hill in the end zone, giving New Orleans a 37-16 lead before the Packers finally scored in the fourth quarter. The Saints quarterback finished the game with 311 yards on 27-of-32 passing.

Austin Davis Says He's Humbled by Brett Favre's Comments
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images(ST. LOUIS) -- St. Louis Rams quarterback Austin Davis received some high praise from future Hall of Famer Brett Favre this week.
Favre spoke with ESPN's Ed Werder and compared the Southern Miss alumni to another future Hall of Famer.
"Austin can definitely play at this level," Favre told Werder this week. "Not to sound off my rocker, but [Davis], in my mind, can be the next Tom Brady or Kurt Warner. [Brian] Hoyer as well. Austin, like those mentioned, just needed a legit opportunity."
Davis was humbled by the comments and said that Favre has sent him text messages of encouragement. Still, he told reporters that he just wants to be himself.
"I don't really want to be the next anybody," Davis said. "I just want to be the first Austin Davis and just keep doing what we're doing."
Davis and the Rams are coming off a 28-26 win over the Seahawks last Sunday.
"It felt good to get one this past week. I think it was much needed for our football team," Davis said of the win.
The Rams (2-4) will travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs (3-3) on Sunday.

5-1-1 mix pine fines
I hauled in a couple of bags of greens mix and gave up- i need way too much potting soil for this to be feasible buying from Lowes. I am looking at what pacigic topsoil in this area has to offer. Can any of these in th link below work in place of the pine files in the 5-1-1 mix ? Also I intend to use this in a SWC would it wick enough water ? how do i make it wick water ? http://www.pacifictopsoils.com/products_all.htm#SpecialtySoilMixes
I have found it impossible to fine Pine Bark Fines.
So I can't imagine why there is so much 5:1:1 euphoria for container planting soil when the main component is unobtainable.
Pine Bark Mulch AINT Pine Bark Fines.
That depends, honestly. A local nursury that I frequent sell a totally usable product from Jolly Gardener, and its labeled as Pine Bark Mulch. What you need to watch out for is a mostly sapwood mulch being passed off as bark mulch.
The website listed has only one promising description: "Fine Bark: Fir/Hemlock bark. 1" minus particle size." Unfortunatly, when you click on the photo for a close up - it looks like shredded garbage. I wouldn't use it.
Don't get too hung up on what things are labeled as. A useable product might be called many things, including: mulch, bark, bark mulch, bark fines, soil conditioner, on and on. You just gotta go check it out for yourself. Look for a bark product You'll find the right stuff.
The problem always is the same ...the fines arent fine enough..... so here is what I am doing ...craigslist always seems to have chipper/shredders for sale ...there is not a large resell market for them ...most times you can deal for half or a third of the price the seller wanted
Well, my big earthquake chipper/shredder wrecked itself )broke the shaft)! I'm gettin older and pulling that recoil start was H*** on my shoulders. I ordered one of the (much) cheaper electric chippers from Harbor Freight and have been very happy with how it reduces medium and small bark nuggets to good 'fines' size. I thought I'd have to alter the feed system but the one it comes with is actually better as I use a hand scoop to slowly feed in the big stuff which allows me time to pick out larger sapwood and small stones which inevitably are included in the bags.
This takes a bit longer but makes a nicely sized product and is immeasurably quieter than my bigger gas chipper was.
Just my solution to 'sizing' the bark.
I am a newbie as well. It was hard to find pine fines in the begining but now I know a few sources.
Call your local landscaping company, garden center and Nurseries and ask them if they have pine fines. One near me has it under the name "Soil conditions"
Finally I got from one landscaping company a cubic yard for $28. It had many bigger barks and had to pass it thru 1/4" mesh. 2 bags of their pine fine made 1 bag of pine fine within 1/4".
Good luck.
If you cant find the "fines" do a search for orchid pine nuggets or mini pine nuggets. I know they have the mini's at home depot/lowes. If they are not small enough you can screen them. A huge bag is less than $4. Its not EXACTLY the same but it pretty much IS.
I looked up the chippers you mentioned; do you mind telling me which one did you choose?
And have you tried it yet? Does it work as you expected?
I am having hard time as anybody else to find bark small enough...even tried old blender to reduce larger pieces - DOES NOT WORK -
Home Depot sells Golden Trophy #302 pine bark mulch which sometimes are pine bark fines. It varies from pallet to pallet -- if one bag on the pallet is fine usually the entire pallet is of the same consistency. Keep checking different Home Depots and check all the pallets. I find a good batch at the stores by me at least once or twice a Spring. Once you see they have the good stuff. Buy up as much as you can carry. I have occasionally seen this brand of pine bark at Menards too.
For folks on the north side of Chicago, Farmer's Market on 45something north Elston has the real good pine bark fines this year and they had 4 complete pallets about a month ago. I forgot the brand name but it is the best quality of any brand I've tried. Farmer's Market went a couple of years without carrying pine bark so I stopped going there. This year I needed to make a stop there and was very surprised to see it stocked again and in quantity. Unfortunately I didn't need any pine bark.
If you get a 'good' bag of pine bark mulch, it will be ground pine bark, which is the 'fines.' Most bags of pine bark mulch that I have seen are ok to use right out of the bag, unless they have alot of pieces bigger than 1/2" or alot of sapwood. The only product I would steer away from if possible, is the Timberline Pine bark Mulch at Walmart. The quality control is poor.

I scrapped it!
My challenge quilt is due on Monday. I've been struggling with it for weeks, and last night, decided it just wasn't worth my energies. It all went in the trash (except the block with the orange border)
I was provided a fabric (the flower centers were cut from it) and the block design. They had to be in the 18" wall hanging somewhere/somehow.
I got this far and had 16 of the 2 1/2" yellow/brown paper pieced squares sitting on my table. I didn't like how they were going to look... All I could 'see' was Fallout Shelter signs!
So, I did something I can't remember ever doing before. I swept it all into the trashcan!! I plan to make the main block into a much needed potholder and be done with it. It wasn't an easy decision, but I did it... Time to move on.
You are so brave! You are my hero. They'll soon be making a quilting action figure of you!
Now I thin it looks artsy, not bad at all!! Why not make the little squares into another pot holder?? I need to make some too.
I have some projects that I need to get rid of too, it's such a pain after working on something that doesn't turn out as hoped.
That is something all of us need to learn to do. It has not as much to do with pride than our quilts are an extension of ourselves. If it doesn't express our vision, then it isn't. It's why our teeth stand on edge when we agree to make a work with somebody else's idea and why I could never do it for a living (not that I am skilled enough to do that anyway, lol) Nor could I work as a commercial artist and that is a field I considered when I was young. I ended up doing a lot of drafting instead in one of my jobs since it wasn't open to interpretation and that didn't bother me.
Your work comes back to haunt you, it becomes a CV or resume of your passion. Sometimes the destruction of a piece is liberating. I have four large panels of a hideous design in my basket and it's sat there for two years and I have mused on how to salvage that effort. I just simply don't think I want to even look at it anywhere in my house. I may use your panel for inspiration.
Way to go, Jennifer! A good end for this project! Now on with something else that gives you joy - life is too short to spend time on designs we hate.
I remember one guild raffle quilt sewing workshop, working on a hard paper-pieced block that you would have loved, toolgranny! I had to start over about 3 times because I just could not "get" it! Finally, I gave my sorry partially finished block to my friend (who was doing well making the blocks), cleaned up my space, packed up my machine, and announced loudly to the entire group "o.k., that's it for me, I'm done!" I sincerely tried to make the block, over and over, and I wasn't going to waste a good weekend afternoon trying to make this stupid block.
It's always o.k. to throw in the towel or throw out parts of our quilts if it's more frustration than it's worth.
[When I read the title of your post I thought "whhhhaaa??? Jennifer is now making a scrap quilt?" LOL!]
Sharon~ It may be out of sight, but it's not out of mind! It still hurts me to think of all that paper piecing sitting in the trash can!! But I won't be pulling it out (like some people we know! You know who you are!!).
And yes, it's time to move on. Hopefully tonight I can get the orphan blocks into pot holders and actually FINISh something! Then I can move on to a quilt for a July wedding.
Teresa~ "Fooled you!!!"
I applaud you Jennifer. You knew when to scrap it & did it.
I was sewing with my Red Cross group today. We were laying out a group of blocks that had been donated by our guild members. I noticed one block that looked a little "odd" & picked it up for closer examination. There were zig-zag stitches across 2 rows in the block! Then I noticed that there were holes in some of the seams and the lower edge had obviously been sewn, then unsewn as there were small holes there also! So apparently the sewer had some problems constructing the block & when she had ripped out the seams she'd cut into the fabric squares. Then she tried to salvage her "holey" seams by zig-zagging them together on the top side. Yet the holes remained! Altogether quite pitiful! I can't imagine someone so clueless as thinking this was a suitable donation!

Seeking plant suggestions
I'm back in search of more plant wisdom ;o)
I have decided that a small tree (or large shrub in standard form) would be better at the end of my spiral garden than the rose I currently have planted there. I was hoping for something that would grow to about 20' or 25' max, have a pretty form, and preferably some kind of bloom. I was thinking maybe a dogwood or standard rhododendron, but I'm not confidant in my choices. It will have irrigation, the spiral garden is one spot that I decided could be a bit thirstier than most of the landscape.
I have a shade tolerant hybrid musk rose in the spot right now, it gets some morning and late afternoon sun but shade for most of the day. Depending on the time of year it will get about 2 to 4 hours of direct sun per day. You can see in the pictures that there is enough sun for nasturtiums and Shasta Daisies to bloom. The rose is doing okay, blooms are sparse but the foliage is healthy and disease free. Having lived with the current arrangement for a year it suddenly occurred to me that a small tree would put some foliage between us and our neighbors in a critical spot.
Here are some pictures to show what I mean, the rose is planted behind the Shasta Daisy.
And a closer view, this one's taken from where we usually sit on our deck to enjoy the view.
What would you do, if this was your garden?
Thanks in advance!
I love the idea of a Dogwood, I love how the flowers sit on the tree. There are some gorgeous Dogwood cultivars with both white flowers or or red flowers. They do well with some shade, and need moderate amounts of water (you can always drip the tree to make sure it's getting the right amount of water). Love that idea, I think Dogwoods are ethereal in their habit and shape.
Patty S.
If you go for a dogwood, I advise trying to shop in the fall so you can evaluate leaf color- I had some in a former garden and the fall color was variable- the best ones were an amazing color, worth seeking out.
Wishing I had enough shade for a dogwood here!
Thanks everyone!
I love the idea of a dogwood, partly because one of my neighbors has a large white flowering selection and I always admire it in the spring.
I've been looking into different types, I like some features of Cornus nuttallii but am a bit worried about the whole 'notoriously challenging in cultivation' thing. Eddie's White Wonder, a cross between Cornus nuttallii and florida, looks particularly attractive. I think I might go with one of those, unless I get warned off by someone with greater experience.
What about 'Cherokee Chief'? It is really beautiful, and would give you a nice pop of color.
Patty S.
Here is a link that might be useful: Monvrovia: Cherokee Chief Dogwood
Cherokee Chief is very pretty, but I have a white clematis and lavender trumpet vines in the area already, so I feel like white is the safest way to go. In addition I've been jealously admiring my neighbors' white dogwood for years, so I'd love to have my own.
Thanks though!
