Date of Stay: May, 2013
A fine little RV park that the city provides for free. The prior 2012 reviews are accurate from our perspective. Good sized, level gravel sites. Several TV channels (antenna) and our Verizon phone and broadband worked well. Well worth a donation. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: July, 2012 - $1.00
We stayed here overnight on a trip to Colorado. This is a city park with no charge for the first couple of nights or so. We did make a donation because it does cost them something to keep the park open and it was certainly worth the donation. Clean basic services, nearby memorial that was well done for service personnel from the area. Not a place with fine dining but did have basic fast food places. An overnight stay is what it is best for. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: April, 2012 - $1.00
This is a City Park. There are 50 amp and 30 amp sites. Water is also available at some sites. There also a dump station. There are also electric sites by the building. This is a very nice place to stay for overnight or a couple of days. Nice level spots. The city says it is free up to 4 nights and accepts donations. I would recommend paying as I appreciate cities that offer these amenities to travelers. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: October, 2011 - $1.00
CG is free for 4 nights. There are 8 sites in CG & many more in the community center field south of the CG. Quiet, pleasant, no road noise. CG has 30 amp & water with a dump on site. Community center field has 50 amp and water sites. There is a donation box in the CG. Thank you Littlefield for your generous and kind offer to spend the night. We thoroughly enjoyed your CG & your city. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2011 - $1.00
We almost did not stay here because we could not find it. It is on Hall street and 16th street. The sign is small but if you can find it is a nice clean park to stay. Only there for one night but it was perfect for us. We hooked up for the night and had no problems getting our 43' fifth wheel in the space provided. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: June, 2011 - $1.00
Very good for overnight. No restrooms/showers available. Any size rig can park there. Water pressure and electric (30 amp) were good. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: October, 2010 - $1.00
Very nice park and quiet. Electricity and water at each site. Picnic tables and shade trees at most sites. Waylon built this park and gave it to the city of Littlefield so travelers would have a place to stay at no charge. First four nights are free then a fee starts , not sure how much. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
If you have an RV over 25 feet, this park is not for you. We have 40' coach with tow. We had difficulty turning into the park but were already committed to turn so had to go forward. Information says they have 60 sites but I fail to see how 60 RVs could get in such a small area. There are two very narrow pull-through sites but are lined with steel pipe making them almost impossible to get into with a coach and tow. This park is easy to find and clean. There was only one very small RV there at the time we drove through. We camped at Waylon Jennings RV Park in a Motorhome.

International Encounters at the Brooklyn Book Festival
by Tara Olmsted on Friday, September 26, 2014 09:35 am(I didn't make it to the Brooklyn Book Festival this year, but Tara Olmsted did, and here's her report! -- Levi)
The Brooklyn Book Festival can be a mixed bag. At its worst the annual autumn event is complete chaos: no consistent theme, hot and crowded rooms, poorly moderated panels, no-show authors, smug hipsters as far as the eye can see. This year's list of participating authors is less exciting at the outset than in previous years: the type of book being discussed on all the panels feels pretty much the same, as if some kind of homeostasis has been achieved.
But at its best, the Brooklyn Book Festival s a platform for small, independent presses. Publishers like Melville House, New Directions, & Other Stories, Europa, Other Press, Archipelago and Greywolf are there. (Technically some of these are not exactly indie publishers anymore, like New Directions, which has been absorbed by the big five publishing conglomerates. I still consider the presses "indie" because they've managed to retain the literary identity and traditions on which they were founded.)
Smaller indies are here too: Zephyr, Bellevue, The Head & The Hand. There are literary magazines: BookForum, The Paris Review, NYRB and Lapham's Quarterly. And many of Brooklyn's independent bookstores attend, including WORD, The Community Bookstore and Greenlight. There's a lot to discover at the outdoor booths. And for me the highlight of the festival has always been (and remains) the author panels.
Blasts from the Past: Jean Merrill and Sydney Taylor
by Levi Asher on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 12:37 pm
Two children's books I loved as a kid (and still love as an adult) have been republished in attractive new editions. Whether you've read these two books before or not, they are awesome and well worth checking out.
Funny thing, a trollish article titled "Against YA: Adults Should Be Embarrassed to Read Children's Books" by a person named Ruth Graham was recently published on Slate -- an obvious attempt at clickbait, and clearly the work of a bullying personality similar to that of the mean kid who kept throwing eucalyptus seeds at Mitch and Amy in Beverly Cleary's Mitch and Amy. (But that's another story.) Am I embarrassed to be remembering children's books? Hell no. These are two of the best books I've ever read.
The Transcendent Drupal Community
by Levi Asher on Wednesday, June 4, 2014 10:59 pmI used to go to BookExpo in New York City every Spring. It was a grand event, a joyous social swirl of writers and publishers and editors and bloggers and critics. But, regretfully, I stopped going to BookExpo a couple of years ago. Some friends tell me the event has shrunk and that I'm not missing much. But I know I'm missing a lot whenever I get a chance to hang out with book people.
This year, I strangely found myself for the first time at DrupalCon, an amazing gathering of web development technology gurus, experts and dabblers who use the very powerful Drupal open source platform to build websites. I've been a Drupal developer since 2009, and I ported this blog from WordPress to Drupal in 2010. Drupal has been both my day job (currently, an exciting new federal government health information and community website launching in October) and my personal obsession. This is my first DrupalCon, my first chance to hang around with thousands of other developers who are as obsessed as I am.
The Editor's Story: Andre Schiffrin and Daniel Menaker
by Levi Asher on Wednesday, December 4, 2013 06:08 pmLegendary book editor and publisher Andre Schiffrin died last weekend at the age of 78. Years ago, I read his memoir/broadside The Business of Books. Here's Schiffrin describing the scene at Random House in the early 1960s, after Random House acquired Pantheon Books, a literary publisher his father had helped to build:
The Salinger Mystique
by Eamon Loingsigh on Thursday, August 29, 2013 04:43 pm(Dear readers: some of you may have been wondering why I have not blogged my thoughts about the stunning news that five new J. D. Salinger books will be posthumously published. The truth is, I'm dumbstruck. I never expected to read another book about the wonderful Glass family, and I guess I won't know what to say about this or any other book until I read it and find out if the work rings true to me or not.
At least one other Litkicks contributor, Eamon Loingsigh (who has written previously here about Lautreamont) had a less ambivalent reaction to the news. He's pissed off -- not about the books, but about the whole manipulative mystique of Salinger's seclusion. Here's what Eamon thinks. -- Levi)
Well, it is the age of irony. How could we not have seen this coming?
Some writers have the gift and intelligence of knowing exactly how they'll be seen when their work hits the bookstores. Some writers write about the immortal things in life and avoid the trends.
When news broke that J.D. Salinger had planned his books to be published after his death, I immediately had a vision too. Posthumously Published Press! The new rage!
Tag line? "Why publish your books while still alive when you can assure yourself of immortality by having them published after you've died."
The Crisis of Book Cover Design
by Toro on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 08:44 pm(Here's Toro!, who runs a book cover design website and has designed posters for FOX and HBO and covers for J C Sum and John Kemmerly, and shares here some of the lesser-known challenges and tribulations of his career. -- Levi)
The cover: a one-page ad forever bound to its product, the most ubiquitous piece of marketing a book will ever have. The cover, a glossy cherry on top of a cake of words, chapters and (maybe) a story. The cover, an aide, a friend, a guiding beacon in that mind-boggling, panic-inducing, head-scratching state we often enter when inside a bookstore. Yes, it can be daunting to be surrounded by hundreds of books, all begging for our attention, all silently wishing to spend the next few days, weeks or months with us. (Very persistent books have been known to hold on to their victims for centuries).
Maybe Money And Literature Don't Mix
by Levi Asher on Wednesday, March 6, 2013 07:48 pmNate Thayer, a well-respected journalist, has published a blog post roasting the Atlantic for asking him to provide a summary of a recent article for the Atlantic website for free. He didn't like that idea very much.
I am a professional journalist who has made my living by writing for 25 years and am not in the habit of giving my services for free to for profit media outlets so they can make money by using my work and efforts by removing my ability to pay my bills and feed my children. I know several people who write for the Atlantic who of course get paid. I appreciate your interest, but, while I respect the Atlantic, and have several friends who write for it, I have bills to pay and cannot expect to do so by giving my work away for free to a for profit company so they can make money off of my efforts. 1200 words by the end of the week would be fine, and I can assure you it would be well received, but not for free. Frankly, I will refrain from being insulted and am perplexed how one can expect to try to retain quality professional services without compensating for them. Let me know if you have perhaps mispoken.
A lot of support has rolled in for Nate Thayer, and against publications that dare to ask writers to write for free. Another Atlantic editor Alexis Madrigal has tried to explain the digital editor's side of the story, only to be torn into by Wonkette, which accuses Madrigal of "man-splaining".
Confessions of a Texas Book Dealer
by John Kemmerly on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 07:48 pm(Please welcome a new Litkicks author. John Kemmerly grew up in South Louisiana, worked in bars and restaurants, sold real estate, worked on a tugboat, and in the 90s, owned a bookstore in Galveston, Texas. After selling his business, he spent two years working at a no-kill dog shelter and now lives and writes near Port Aransas, Texas. His work has been published in newspapers, literary journals, and a national magazine. -- Levi)
The library book sale took place on a small island off the coast of Texas in a town called Port Aransas. A line of people waiting to enter the sale looped around the tarpon statue, across the lawn, and out into the sunny parking lot. When the doors opened, the Community Center quickly filled with people bumping into each other, looking over shoulders, reaching for books.
I hurried past old VHS tapes and started scanning a table of quality paperbacks. Reaching in front of the lady standing beside me, I picked up a copy of Where I'm Calling From by Raymond Carver. "Hey," the lady said, "I was just about to take that one." Well, I doubt it. Where I'm Calling From is not a book most people have heard of, and anyway, she'd had her chance.
"You're too late and too slow," I told her, and then went back to work scanning for more gems. After twelve years, it felt good to be back in the game.
Peace Eye! Fug! A Long Talk With Ed Sanders
by Alan Bisbort on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 07:33 pm(Last year's big counterculture memoir was "Just Kids" by Patti Smith, and 2012's might turn out to be "Fug You: An Informal History of the Peace Eye Bookstore, the Fuck You Press, the Fugs, and Counterculture in the Lower East Side" by Ed Sanders, an American writer, musician, happener and activist I've long admired. I'm proud to present this new interview with Ed Sanders by Beat scholar and librarian Alan Bisbort, and I'm looking forward to reading this memoir myself. -- Levi)
Ed Sanders has been a cultural force in America for the past half century. Arguably best known for his satirical 1960s rock band The Fugs and his perennially wide-selling 1971 book The Family: The Story of Charles Manson's Dune Buggy Attack Battalion, Sanders's appeal to readers is also grounded in his deep Beat Generation roots. As a high school senior in Missouri, he read Allen Ginsberg's Howl and then, after a failed attempt at a college education in Columbia, Missouri, hitchhiked east to see what all the Beat commotion was about.
Sanders was founder of a legendary literary "scrounge lounge", the Peace Eye Bookstore, remembered as a Greenwich Village version of San Francisco's City Lights Books during the hippie era; editor of the seminal Fuck You/A Magazine of the Arts; publisher of works by Charles Olson and Ezra Pound; underground filmmaker (Amphetamine Head); prose author (Tales of Beatnik Glory); poet (America: A History in Verse); antiwar and anti-nuclear activist; he also seems to have known anyone and everyone affiliated with the American underground.
In his new book, Fug You: An Informal History of the Peace Eye Bookstore, the Fuck You Press, the Fugs, and Counterculture in the Lower East Side, Sanders ties all of his earliest threads—up to 1970—together in the most engagingly idiosyncratic memoir of the new year. Helpfully subtitled "An Informal History of the Peace Eye Bookstore, the Fuck You Press, the Fugs, and Counterculture on the Lower East Side," Fug You comes at you from all sides of this complex, rugged individual who appeared on the cover of Life magazine in 1967, emerging from splatters of Pollock-like paint as "a leader of the Other Culture."
Still placing his shoulder to the cultural wheel, Sanders, 72, is today the strongest living link between the Beat Generation, the hippies and all other underground currents that have trickled along the countercultural pipeline since then. Sadly, his partner in Fug crimes, the irreplaceable Tuli Kupferberg, died in 2010 after 86 years of stirring up trouble and mirth.
On November 17, 2011 I spoke with Sanders by phone at his home in Woodstock, N.Y., where he lives with Miriam Sanders, his wife of more than 50 years.
Alan: The events you describe in the new memoir are so rich in detail that many of the chapters and sometimes even individual paragraphs would be worthy of entire books. Did it seem this complex at the time or is this true only in retrospect? In other words, did you just get up every morning and do all these things on instinct and now look back and you can't believe all the ties to all the things and people?
Ed: I was very young, had a lot of energy, didn't need to sleep a lot. Plus, I really believed that I was helping to make fundamental changes in the ways the economy works, in spiritual and personal freedom. Even though there were all those deaths and assassinations, the countercultural activities fueled the idea that there was a lot of hope throughout these years up to the early 1970s, which is where I stopped the book.
Departed: George Whitman and Vaclav Havel
by Michael Norris on Monday, December 19, 2011 10:34 pmThere were two incarnations of the fabled Shakespeare and Company Bookstore in Paris.
The first store was the labor of love of Sylvia Beach, an American expat from New Jersey. It lasted from 1919 until 1940 when it was closed by the Nazi occupation. But during its best years it was the haunt of "Lost Generation" writers like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. James Joyce used the shop as his office, and it was here also that Sylvia Beach published Joyce's Ulysses in 1922.
In 1951, another American (and English language) book store sprang up on the Rive Gauche, on the banks of the Seine, a stone's throw from Place Saint Michel. This bookstore, originally named Le Mistral, was opened by bohemian wanderer George Whitman. His goal was to create"a socialist utopia masquerading as a bookstore". Under the sign "Be not inhospitable to strangers lest they be angels in disguise", Whitman opened his bookshop not only for browsing and reading, but he also provided couches and beds for tired literary travelers to spend the night.

You have probably heard this all your life. Fresh vegetables, especially dark green leafy vegetables, are ridiculously good for you; give you strong bones and muscles, reduce your risk of cancer and make you millions of dollars. Ok, maybe not the last but the other two most definitely.
Current guidelines suggest you eat two and a half cups of fresh vegetables a day. A DAY!!!! That is a lot of vegetables.
My dear, dear friend Angie sent me a way of preparing fresh vegetables that makes it so easy to get those fresh veggies in and better yet, they are raw veggies which ups the nutrition count considerably. It is called Spoon Salad.
The trick to this salad is to take a variety of fresh veggies, including the dark leafys like kale and chop them up super small. This makes it easy to consume a good portion at one time.
The salad can be made in big batches and it holds up great for 4 or 5 days which I like because I work once and eat for days! Not only that, it is surprisingly delicious.
My family is divided about vegetables. I love pretty much all vegetables provided they are prepared properly and my hubby pretty much hates all veggies. His idea of a vegetable is a baked potato smothered with sour cream or a fresh ear of corn slathered with butter. So imagine my surprise when he tasted this salad and loved it! I say if the hubby likes it you have a pretty good shot at getting the kids to try it.
At the risk of sounding like a perky food network star (take a guess…the initials are R.R.) this is a method more than a recipe. I chop all the vegetables up in a food processor to tiny bits. I process like with like meaning I do leafy stuff with leafy stuff and hard things like carrots and beets together. I suppose you could forgo the food processor and chop by hand but seriously! I'm not going to work that hard for a great gluten free dessert let alone salad. But if you are a purist then by all means knock yourself out – just don't chop off your fingers.
This is my favorite flavor combo but feel free to experiment. I have found certain things don't work too well. Onions are too strong and over power it all, mushrooms and tomatoes become soggy. Baby spinach seems to get too watery but the big leaf stuff is ok. I like to add fresh avocado when I eat it, I never mix it into the whole batch. I make this with all organic when ever possible.
I like to dress with salad with a combo of fresh lime juice and flax seed oil or my Lemon Tahini Dressing and garnish with a few crumbles of feta cheese, chopped avocado and some raw pumpkin seeds. YUM! It is a meal in itself.
Gluten Free Spoon Salad Recipe
1 large head of kale
½ head of green or red cabbage
1 head red or green Swiss chard
1 bunch watercress
1 small bunch Italian parsley
3 large zucchini
3 small beets with the greens if possible
3 carrots
Wash and dry the vegetables very well. Remove the ribs from the kale, Swiss chard and beet greens. Process in batches keeping like vegetables with like – i.e. leafy greens and herbs together, carrots and beets together, zucchini by itself.
Put into a huge bowl, stock pot or even your sink and mix well.
Store in the fridge in large plastic storage bags or a big bowl, covered. Keeps for 4 to 5 days. Don't be worried if you see some liquid at the bottom. Really drying the greens especially will cut down on this but some will occur from the beets.
Dress individual servings with the dressing of your choice at the time of serving.
This makes 4-6 servings

Best program for extracting sounds from a DVD?
Guys, just got a new confuser at work, and it needs some custom "beeps." It's got a DVD drive.
BTW, the DVD collection is proceeding apace... Next goal is to find a copy of Tremors 1,2,3.

Well, 'best' is a bit subjective. What operating system are you running?
If windoze, you can use the sound recorder to get up to 60seconds (I think). I use Sound Forge for heavy audio editing, but I doubt you'd need that. e-mail me private if you need help, note that AFAIK the only file format that support 5.1 sound natively is MPEG-2 possible 3, and most sound cards don't support recording 5.1 sound.

NIOSH Releases Report on Pennsylvania LODD
WASHINGTON, Penn.-- NIOSH investigators suggest departments obey the "two in, two out" policy and that a collapse zone is established when a structure becomes unstable.
Those were among several recommendations NIOSH has issued following the probe of a Feb. 4, 2007 incident in which a Pennsylvania firefighter was killed.
Washington City Firefighter Jeremy LaBella, 27, was killed when a canopy collapsed on him. A fellow firefighter was injured.
It was LaBella's first working fire as a career firefighter.
Investigators determined LaBella and George McMullen, 38, had backed out of the burning building due to conditions. However, they remained under the canopy.
A civilian who witnessed the collapse notified the chief of the incident, and that two firefighters were trapped in the debris. The RIT team was just arriving when the incident occured, and were met by two other residents.
NIOSH recommendations include:
- review and follow existing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for structural firefighting to ensure that fire fighters follow a "two in, two out" policy
- ensure that adequate numbers of staff are available to immediately respond to emergency incidents
- establish a collapse zone when structures become unstable
- ensure that the Incident Commander continuously evaluates the risks versus gain when determining whether the fire suppression operation will be offensive or defensive
- ensure that the first arriving company officer does not become involved in the fire fighting effort after assuming the role of the Incident Commander
- ensure that a thermal imaging camera is used during size-up
- ensure that a separate Incident Safety Officer, independent from the Incident Commander, is appointed at each structural fire.

PSE reelects Pardo, entire board
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Stock Exchange on Saturday reelected for a second term its 15-member board led by chair Jose Pardo, who expects "more exciting" days for the exchange this year.
In a press briefing after the stockholders' meeting, Pardo announced that all remaining 15 nominees to the board—all incumbent—had received a fresh mandate from the shareholders.
"We have a working team that's already in place and we feel it will move faster if it's the same group on the exchange," Pardo said, when asked how the directors felt about not having new faces on the board.
There were originally three new candidates aspiring for seats on the board representing the Fund Managers Association of the Philippines (Paul Joseph Garcia and Marvin Fausto) and Investment Houses Association of the Philippines (Robert Atendido), but all of them backed out days before yesterday's election.
Reelected with Pardo and president Hans Sicat were brokers Emmanuel Bautista (Deutsche Regis Partners), Eddie Gobing (Lucky Securities), Alejandro Yu (RS Lim & Co.), Francis Chua (BA Securities), Eusebio Tanco (Venture Securities), Vivian Yuchengco (The First Management and Securities Corp.) and David Chua (Asia Pacific Capital Equities and Securities Corp.)
Reelected as nonbroker members were Amor Iliscupidez (San Miguel Corp. Retirement Plan), Roberto Vergara (Government Service Insurance System), Anabelle Chua (Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co.), Edgardo Lacson (Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry) and independent directors Dakila Fonacier and Cornelio Peralta.

I'm going to be busy with working on integrating this new fuel regulator to our racer designs, but if you'd like to help out the team some more, talk to Razzeric. He's our pilot--well, our eighteenth pilot, to be exact--and he likes to add his own little modifications to the racers.He's a little off his rocker, though, so try not to act too surprised.

Among the most common reasons for moist basements and crawl spaces is an inadequate gutter, downspout, and drain system. Gutters are required at all locations where water drains off the roof. Gutters and drains need to be adequate in size and quantity to handle all but the heaviest of torrential downpours. The purpose of the entire system is to divert the water collected on the roof away from the house and its foundation. The diverted water may be drained into a storm sewer or an on-side "french drain" or similar system. We recommend that homeowners review the adequacy of their gutter, downspout, and drain system on an annual basis. This can be done during a heavy rain, at which time all of the water from the roof should disappear into the gutters and flow through the downspouts and the drains, without spilling over onto the ground next to the house.
This was the traditional construction system employed and is rarely used today. The original wood gutters were made from old growth cedar, a product which is rarely available today. Its substitution with new growth cedar or hemlock gutters has proven inadequate. Galvanized downspouts do not tend to last as long the newer products available on the market.
This is a commonly used material and often sold in do-it-yourself hardware stores. It is easily installed by the homeowner, and when properly installed is a good product. It is also susceptible to damage by heavy ladders, as well as long-term deterioration by ultraviolet light from the sun.

A popular gutter style in the 1960's was the integral gutter. This system is formed by the end of the rafters and fascia in a sloped roof. The gutter is lined with a built-up roofing material and has the advantage of being able to hold a great deal more water than most of the other types of gutters. The disadvantage of this gutter style is in the potential for leaks, which can result in damage to the framing, fascia, soffit, and sheathing of the roof. In order to prevent such damage, these gutters need to be carefully inspected every few years and the lining replaced or repaired every five to ten years. Should such a gutter system prove troublesome, it is possible to convert this gutter into a standard gutter configuration at the time of re roofing.
Here is a splash block that doesn't work and can't be made to work. |
Even if is stays balanced on top of the bricks, the roof drainage from this splash block will drain toward the foundation of the house.
This is a good location for a simple drain system. The basic idea here is to get the roof drainage water away from the foundation of the house.
These concrete or plastic blocks are intended to divert the water coming out of the downspout next to the house away from the house. They are simple and inexpensive to install and rarely work. They need to be installed in an area with proper drainage and require ongoing maintenance for maximum effectiveness. I often find splash blocks draining water toward the house (see picture above) or filled with soil and grass, rendering them useless.
A french drain is a pit or trench located away from the house, filled with gravel or crushed rock. The water is carried to the french drain in a plastic drain tile and is absorbed into the ground. The french drain must be built far enough from the house to prevent any of the water from re-entering the basement or crawl space.

Owner and Wife Arrested (4/13)
I have visited several strip clubs in several states and by far this is the worst club I have visited. When walking in the door there were three strippers standing in front of the door. The first was about 280-300 pounds the others had beer bellies. They told me that it cost $5 dollars with a two drink min. which would cost $12 dollars. Which they made me pay before I could even sit down. Then they asked for my license, which I thought they were only going to check to see if I was old enough to come in. No they passed my id off to some guy who wrote down my license number and name to go into this book. They like to keep all the license information of all their customers on record. Which I thought was extremely weird. I asked them not to record my information and they said we can do that if we want. I asked to talk to the manager and I told him that he could keep the $12 dollars I paid to stand there for 3 mins. I just want my license info erased. He denied my request. I told him I would call the cops and he kicked me out of the club.
Out of all the strip clubs I have visited (Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Virginia, California and some in Mexico) I have never been treated that way. I give this club a big fat "F" (04/09)
Small Club, only 2 dancers. Private dances start at 50, and 100. (10/07)
