When we finally talked to someone on the phone, they assured us they had 65 to 70 foot pull-throughs for big rigs. When we finally squeezed into a spot, the pedestal was blocking our door. We did not stay. The electrical panel doors were falling off, allowing rain to get in. It just seemed very rundown to us. - Raquel

A small, no frills park about halfway between Visalia and Fresno.We stayed there for about ten days when our air conditioner went out in our home. The park has about ten sites for overnighters or longer and all sites are on grass which is cut weekly and watered every other day. There is 30 amp service and the water is from a private well and is so good. Pets are welcome, but must be leashed. We had a very peaceful, stay and would recommend it for anyone traveling north on 99. - Camper Sam

This park is fine for an overnight. The big issue is that they charge for the shower. They have water for the grass, but charge to use the shower (go figure). There is a nice bike trail adjacent to the park. The six transient sites are on grass and depending when you get there, they will have water standing on them. The park uses self-registration even though the office may be staffed. The plus is the ease to get to the park and back on the road again. - A hitch and hop

We have been here before and enjoyed the peace and quiet of being off the road away from the highway and near the river area (only has water in mid summer) This time we were surrounded by workers who partied all night, had to pay for our electricity ($8.19 for one night) on top of the $45.00 and were charged for Tengo internet ($4.00) if we wanted it for one night. We asked for a partial refund due to the extreme noise while we were trying to sleep but no dice. We will not return. We don't need to be nickel and dimed for our stay. It is an insult. - saturn7

Was all right for a couple of nights. Do not recommend for a long term stay, did not have much to offer in way of amenities. Site map stated there were trash bins throughout the park; after a 10 minute walk we found 1 near the laundry room.
We were there in November, park had the feel it was closed for the season. - Our-Wandering-Casa

This place is not as described on-line. There is no "marina" as the water is all dried up. Nothing but a big sand pit where the marina was. Office was closed when we arrived, but someone did come and register us. Office hours are terrible, they are never open. I like that it is gated, but there really is no reason since its difficult to find. The only people there are permanent residents. It is all dirt pads and the garbage dump was overflowing. The laundry facility was clean and nearby our site. We stayed for 2 days while we toured the area, but will not return. The place needs better management. - DUstich

We were dismayed to be kept awake from other residents. It appears that the entire park is partly filled with workers from a construction company and they are partiers. With the long park available to the hostess I don't know why she put us in the mix. It was very distressing not to get our needed sleep. There are extra charges for electricity for one night $8.19 and for my favorite "Tengo internet!" We will not go back, it used to be a nice place, even without water in the river, it was quiet and peaceful. - saturn7

We arrived on a Friday nite hoping for a decent last night of vacation before heading home. We arrived and had to wait 30 minutes for checking in because they were at lunch. Lady was nice but gave us a spot that an RV was already in so we took a grass spot which was mostly dirt with cigarette butts everywhere. Water and electric worked good but space was small between RV's. We ended up in the party section so with the train and freeway noise I realized we weren't in Kansas anymore!
The sites were just not maintained and it looked like longtime residents were there. The other sites on gravel were better but still had a trailer park feel.
This place screams for security and a crew to maintain it. There were beer cans and trash everywhere and the pet leash rule was not enforced so beware if you have dogs. There was noise from other campers into the night and I don't think quiet times are even in the rule section. Freeway noise was bad but that's not the parks problem. It's the lack of personnel and security and maintenance. And a park like this needs operators to be there at least 12 hours a day.
Wish it was better and with a lot of help it could be. Wouldn't stay here again. - Offshrdude

This is quite okay for an overnight (which we desperately needed), but I would not choose it for an extended stay for what I saw. The sites are not very level and they are gravel, even though I saw lots of open green areas. The office person was very nice and accommodating. She acknowledged the sites are narrow so gave us the use of two (for the price of one) so there would be ample room for our four slides. Adequate 50 amp power. Many sites are full-time occupants, and the neatness leaves something to be desired. I understand it is a large property with some recreational opportunities but did not explore. I would use this again for just an overnight. - helenhelen

We were given misleading directions to the campground by an employee/host to start with. The spaces are grass with holes (hard to level), the ground is mushy. There were, I think, 4 high speed brakes coming in by a low-class trailer park. People from the trailers behind the park go through the campground with loud mufflers. The male host screams at campers to slow down; there's no way you can speed with those speed humps. Unbelievably it only has l restroom for men and 1 for women. You have to wait if one person is there...the sink, toilet and shower are in the room. You pay a $5 refundable fee for the key to the restroom (same key fits both rooms??). The next morning you have to wait around for your $5. Fee to be returned when the office opens. This is one of the worst campgrounds anywhere. - oldgeezer one

THIS IS THE WORST PARK WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN, EVER. We do this Full-time so we're in a lot of parks. The so called Wi-Fi is non-existent. The rest rooms are terrible. The so called stream is just some stagnant water in a drainage ditch. This park is surrounded by a terrible, run down old mobile home park full off junky places and obnoxious people, playing their loud music at all hours. This is a very run down area. DO NOT GO TO THE PARK. YOU WILL REGRET IT. - Mike and Darcy

New addition to KOA system. Very large grass sites, but uneven and may have leveling problems. No nearby railroad and light traffic on nearby roads at night, but there is constant barking from dogs in downscale mobile home park next door. Promised Wi-Fi did not reach my premium (50 Amp/FHU) site. Owner stated that it is on the list of things to come. - Frank Fish

Due to upcoming events (several days away) we were directed to a lot behind the building for "Satellite Wagering". From the street to the lot where we were to park there were two locked gates. We had been given the combination to the locks. The lot had space for about a dozen rigs. All back in sites. Good hook-ups but it was all downhill from there! The surface of the lot was ground up asphalt mixed with cigarettes and dog droppings! It was disgusting and we will not stay there again. - User2209

We were one of two rvs in this park in Jan. 2012. It's very well kept. It's hard to find, however; although it's on Chance, there is no signage. Look for the guard shack at the gate. We rated this a 6 because there is a nearby train, and the fairgrounds is next to the CA Air National Guard and those planes are loud at night. If you're just looking for a one-nighter, this place is a good deal for the price. There is also plenty of dog walking room. - beckydmc

This is not an RV Park, but rather a bunch of hookups along the fairground buildings, where the public may stay when the "Big Fresno Fair" isn't on. Enter from Gate 2 on South Chance Ave, and pay at the Administration Building (immediately left). The office is only open Mon-Fri; no idea where (or if) you pay on weekends. There aren't any official site numbers, so you just park anywhere that you want. The hookups are 15 and 50 amps; no 30-amp hookups, so bring your adapters. Sewer hookups are along one building only; the rest are electric and water only. Be sure to test for electrical power before you unhitch; I found none of the 50-amp outlets worked, and half of the 15-amp outlets didn't work either. Circuit breakers are in a locked panel, so you can't reset them. I talked to three people to report that none of the 50-amp outlets worked; they all promised to send the fairground's electrician over, but three days later, he still hadn't showed up. Officially there is no Wi-Fi provided, but I found several open access points close to South Chance Ave. Buildings blocked the signal elsewhere, so you probably won't have access at your site. Avoid parking here if there are any events going on; I arrived a few days before 300 head of cattle showed up for an exhibition. Dozens of cattle trailers and trucks were double-parked along the interior roads, making it completely impossible to get an RV trailer out. I was trapped there for an extra day, until they went home! The official website for the fair is "fresnofair" but they don't have RV Parking information listed yet. I suggest that you phone before you arrive, to see if there are spaces available. - Neil C.

Small, campground north of Visalia, with predominantly permanent residents. Only 30 amp service and our 32 foot motorhome with tow barely fit into one of their pull through sites. Could not connect sewer hose because of small pull through size. Located right next to Hwy 99 so expect alot of road noise. Facilities are primitive and in disrepair. Pass on this one and head north to the next major town. - Happy G

Well not stay here ever! The park is filled with out of date registration RVs some have 1996 tags. Not one friendly camper said hi. This park could be nice if cleaned out. It would take many tow trucks to move the broken down RVs. - titanium

I REALLY wish I could give this park a 10, but in all honesty I cant. So, I will get the negatives out first, then end on a positive note. This park is in a very seedy part of Fresno. Coming off 99, all we saw were rundown buildings and shady characters. We would have kept going, but we had just left a park in Madera that was even worse, and we were tired and desperate. We called from the road and we're able to get a site for the night. When we got to the park, the entrances were not clearly marked and looked way too small for our big rig and tow. We took a chance on one and although it was very tight, we managed. The roads are paved but very narrow, cars parked diagonally on either side of the roads. That's where the bad stuff ends. Office was closed but a nice resident called manager for us. He promptly came, checked us in, and escorted us to our site. We had a back in that was tight to get in, but the site itself was very level, well groomed and spacious (it was a corner lot). The park itself is well shaded ( helpful with the 111 degrees that day!) Many permanent residents, tightly packed in. Although some of the RV'S and mobile homes looked run down, the sites are well kept, and no one had clutter or garbage on their sites like we see all too often. Staff seemed very friendly and accomodating. If this park were in a better neighborhood, we would give it a 10 across the board. Despite all the trees, our satellite and hotspot worked fine. - KSAM14

The staff at this park have excellent customer skills: we were greeted as we drove in and directed to a drive through space. The owner was also very friendly and kind. The park (which is primarily a mobile home park) is lovingly well-maintained. Unfortunately for us, single-night RVers are placed right next to a very busy, noisy frontage road. Add in a nearby train's whistle several times overnight, we got little sleep. However, we felt safe here and there was plenty of room for us to walk our 3 large dogs on leash. There are a few run-down mobile homes in the park (someone else mentioned that) but most are well cared for residences. It is a fine place for a single night's stay. - beckydmc
Jun 2012 - $40.00
Very well maintained park with the friendliest staff we've ever encountered. The big rig sites are on the frontage road but we never found the noise to be an issue. I give them a 9 only because the neighborhood is not the best, right at the same freeway exit is where all of the "no-tell motels" are located and you get quite the show as you drive by, but you do drive right on by. The park is several blocks from there, in a rural-residential neighborhood. As we drove up the manager ran right out to greet us and direct us to our spot and even helped with navigating the tight squeeze between 2 posts. (One of which my husband hit anyway because he doesn't always listen.) She checked on us occasionally, and even checked on our dog while we were out. While we were here they always seemed to have people going in and out of their transient sites, so make sure you make a reservation. If you must stay in Fresno, this is a great place and we would definitely recommend it to anyone. - Cristine

I thought this place was very over-priced for what one got. I only came here to use my points ($25 off the member rate). No shade, gravel strip with a bit of dried grass in between the sites. Poor cable. They just started giving free, unlimited WiFi. Place was practically empty and they still stuck us out in the sun. Ugh. Glad it was only one night. - MarieB
Jul 2016 - $59.00
Unfortunately this is a poor excuse for a KOA. Showing age and lack of care. Add to that the fact that is it very expensive for what is provided and we cannot recommend it. I was surprised to be able to get reservations for 4th of July weekend on short notice, but after seeing the place, I understand the lack of patrons. Our site was a level gravel pull-through with a small shade tree and the water, power, and sewer worked. Cable did not work at any time in the 4 days we were there. Over-the-air TV was OK. "Free" Wi-Fi was a joke.
We will not be staying here again. - Alworth
Jul 2016 - $54.00
As KOAs go, this is not one of the stellar ones. One hour free Wifi per day is a misnomer. Once you log in you get one hour even if you are only on-line for 5 minutes it counts as an hour. Thankfully we had our own Verizon hotspot which provided 4g lte service. The effects of the drought and age are showing as there is a lot of brown (which is the new green in California) and the area is deteriorating due to this. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool, restrooms and laundry are very well maintained. We would stay here again. - WoodShed22

After driving all over town trying to find this place we found that the manager wasn't around. She finally arrived and we checked in. She then informed us that the restrooms and showers were out of order. We had made reservations for 2 nights, but changed it to 1 after we heard that. After assigning our space we walked back to the end of the park and it was in terrible condition with old rundown trailers. We have a very large RV and there was no way we could pull it into the spot she had assigned us. There was not another spot available thank goodness so we asked for a refund and ran. This was one of the worst parks I had ever seen. - H1 -
Feb 2016 - $30.00
We were going to be a late arrival so we made our arrangements over the phone. We arrived at 7 pm and with the freeway construction, it was almost impossible to find the place. When we did, we found an old mobile home park that was very dark, no lighting, no signage directing us to our spot. As we drove through looking for our spot, the residents gave us the once over as we passed. At that point, our only concern was finding the exit. We didn't feel safe, we didn't stay, and don't really care if we get our money back. - Dds
May 2011 - $35.00
This is not an RV park but a seedy, old mobile home park in desperate condition with ancient mobile homes in desperate condition. It has recently been purchased, and the new manager is making improvements as fast as possible, but he has a very long way to go. Very nice, helpful manager. They have one site at the very front of the park, but getting into it was just too iffy for our big rig. We appreciated the offer to clean up another site where large equipment was parked, but the park is just not ready for RVers so we did not stay. - Nillawilla

This is by far my favourite eatery in Montevideo. No frills when it comes to decor but the chef is a real artist and his wife makes the best fresh smoothies in town. You cannot find better price-quality value.
Arrived in Montevideo today and wanted to see the old section Cuidad Vieja. Read about Wasa in several reviews and decided to try. WOW ! The whole experience was outstanding. Owners are French husband and wife team who came to the city 5 years ago. This place is the "bomb." Eclectic menu of daily specials including fish, tortillas, etc. Prepared...
This small restaurant in the hear of the old city in Montevideo was absolutely wonderful. The food is healthy and inventive. The owners work very hard to serve you something special. You sit at a bar and watch them prepare your food. It was comfortable and convenient for lunch. I don't think that they serve dinner at all. It is...
We found this spot on trip advisor. We only had one day to explore Montevideo, and since we were coming to the old city anyway, I wanted to eat at a unique highly rated spot In the area. In all honesty we found this part of town to be less than charming and a bit touristy but Wasa made it...
Best of the Best in Uruguay. Seriously. This is my second review of this restaurant. In the fifteen months since I posted my first review, it only has gotten better. I suspect Walter (the French chef and owner) is the kind of guy who would get Michelin stars in France. How and why he got here and why he has...
Found this place thanks to tripadvisor. What an experience! We chose the vegan meal of the day and it was made in front of us. It was probably the best vegan meal I've had in my life! Just amazing! And the owners, I think French originally, were just the nicest! I'll definitely recommend this place to everyone who's going to...
Cooked vegetables of 4 different colors, presented next to a slice of polenta, with ground radish flourish and an interesting sauce for the appetizer. Followed by just firm enough, flavorful meatballs in a bit sweet sauce, next to cooked leeks, and rice with toasted coconut over the top for the entrée. All for 250 pesos (about USD $10). Served along...
Cuidad Vieja is a must see in the day time. But most importantly the top dining places there close early so Stopping here for lunch is a must. Wasa is a small place, but truely a gem in all of Montevideo. It closes around 3pm so stop early for arguably best lunch in Montevideo ( Estrecho is other ) As...
We recently visited Montevideo and ate at WASA Ethnik Food twice (we would have gone again but the place was packed!). It's only open for lunch, and only on weekdays. There's a small table for two by the entrance, plus a bar that seats up to about 10 people. If you want to sit at the table, it's best to...
We came here twice. Managed by a lovely lady and man that spoke French. It was some of the most delicious food we had over two months in South America. The juices were a nice surprise and everything was cooked well. Would strongly recommend you eat here.

It is a bright and fast flashlight app. Open the app to light up everywhere beside you!
Additional functions:
Additional functions:
1, SOS twinkle;
2, Alarm SOS;
3, Compass function
Does what it says on the tin Works excellently, doesn't run in the background, for those having trouble, this (and most other flashlight apps) require your phone to have an LED flash for your phones camera, and have it set to auto. W/o it there's nothing for the app to turn on. Just sayin'
Doesn't seem to work on my Nexus/Google phone The alarm sounds and the compass s points but the LED does nothing when I try to turn the flashlight on and the bezel does not rotate.
Okay I guess I have a Samsung galaxy so I already have a torch without an app but I got this because of the features but it didn't let me adjust the brightness and the alarm wasnt that bright so I think manually flashing my built in one n playing music will do the same job... n if your lost or stuck and you have enough battery life to run the app you have enough to call for help you dont need reception to call the emergency services.
Deserves zero stars Doesn't do squat. No lights turn on. Dimmer switch doesn't move. Nothing. All these flashlight apps on the play store blow!! All I want is a simple flashlight that dims!!! Almost miss my iOS for those reasons!
Help!!! I read all the reviews and I downloaded like oh this will be a good app. So when it downloaded I tapped it and a message came up saying flashlight has stopped!! Until this gets fixed I'm uninstalling and only giving 2 stars! PLEASE FIX!!!
Can't open this app because it vibrates and closes on me Sorry I gave u a low star, but I still haven't been able to go on this app and use it yet..I just installed this app and I've tried to open 7 times, but it kept going to black page, vibrating my phone then shutting down.I have a Samsung Aspire I believe...Hope u can help..It looks like an awesome app

Britney Ellis' right knee popped in the third inning of a blowout against Tucker on September 24, senior night. Grimacing in pain on the brink of tears, Ellis asked for the trainer, Kelsey Ney, to take a look at it. She did.

It's well known that cancer is a disease that is more and more common, and it's also known that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Newton County elementary and high schools do their part in awareness every year not only by wearing pink, but honoring survivors and remembering those lost.
The Newton County High School Rams (6-1, 2-0 Region 2-AAAAAA) dominated the Alcovy Tigers (1-6 , 1-1 Region 2 AAAAAA) in this year's rivalry game by a score of 47-0.
Just a week ago when Newton and Rockdale met on the softball field at Newton it took the all the Lady Rams had and then some to mount a comeback in the bottom of the seventh that saw Newton score five runs to beat the Lady Bulldogs 13-12. This time the Lady Rams scored eight runs in the second inning alone leading to an 18-1 mercy-rule victory over Rockdale.
Newton head coach Terrance Banks, stood tall tucked away in the corner of Adams Stadium in his khaki slacks, Newton blue collar shirt with a black long sleeve shirt under it and white headphones in his ears. Still over an hour until game time, it was calm on a damp Friday evening.
The Newton County Lady Rams were in for a battle all night and had to rally to win in the end.
If you've watched ESPN lately, maybe you checked the "recruits" section of the ticker at the bottom of the screen that probably read something like this, "4-star linebacker Jaquan Henderson (Covington, Georgia) verbally commits to UCLA."
Lamenting the 56-7 loss against Lowndes, Newton football has been humbled after a 4-0 start to the season. The loss, although no one ever wants to lose, comes at the perfect time for the Rams as it gave them something to think about during the bye week before they're set to face region foe Tucker this Friday at 7:30 p.m.
The constant light showers on Thursday evening couldn't stop the Newton/Tucker contest from happening and the Tucker Lady Tigers couldn't stop the Lady Rams' offense from pouring in points as Newton drowned Tucker, 14-2 on senior night.
The distance between Newton High School (4-1) and Lowndes High School (4-1) covers over 200 miles of Georgia territory and a three or four hour road trip for the Rams. Lowndes couldn't have been further ahead of Newton this past Friday as the Vikings pillaged the hearts of Newton fans that traveled with the team to the tune of a 56-7 blowout.
Ashton Hagans has never touched the floor of Newton High School's gym at a real regular season game yet, but that doesn't matter to the University of Georgia. They've seen enough of Hagans in AAU and throughout the summer league to offer him before he's scored his first high school basket.
Newton High School's Lady Rams thrived and won after a strong scoring burst in the third inning to take the win from the Lakeside Lady Vikings. The Newton Lady Rams won 10-2 by mercy rule.
Coming off a thriller in Rome going for a fourth-straight win, Newton found itself on the road yet again, against another tough opponent in Westlake. The Rams, however, came out of the game unscathed as Newton's offensive line tossed Westlake's defense around like ragdolls and the ground-and-pound game led the Rams to a 27-7 victory. Newton's Kurt Taylor Jr. finished with 30 carries for 209 yards and two touchdowns.
Newton County Sheriff's Deputy Clarence White and the Newton Rams coaching staff came together to build a connection between the Rams and the community as well as give the young players a sense of giving back.

Question: Do You Multi-Task While Listening To Audiobooks?
I discovered the marvels of audiobooks back in 2011 with Richelle Mead's GEORGINA KINCAID series, and from there started listening to roughly one title a month. I didn't take an immediate liking to them, struggled with my fair share of crappy narrators, and learned the hard way that anything over 20 hours caused me to lose interest. So, if you're thinking that they aren't for you, trust me when I say that I get it. However, after four years of trial & error they now make up close to 50% of my annual consumption of novels, and I'm constantly seeking out new excuses to listen.
The most obvious being household chores; #1 does all of the cooking (lucky me!) which means that I'm the designated dish washer, and I'm totally fine with that, especially when I have a wonderful narrator to keep me company. Laundry and cleaning are two other tasks that suck a whole lot less when I have my earbuds in. We live in the country where hard water is a fact of life, so if I want a white bathtub I have to dedicate several hours to scrubbing that bitch, and listening to an Urban Fantasy heroine kick baddie butt motivates me to do the same to my tub. I'm also seriously contemplating investing in a pair of noise cancelling headphones because I cut A LOT of grass in the summer, and my lawn tractor doesn't have a cupholder which makes drinking beer tricky. I'm in desperate need of another source of entertainment. #firstworldproblems
Audiobooks are equally awesome for long work commutes, ignoring coworkers during your lunch break, and tackling menial responsibilities such as filing, and data entry. My iPhone is usually at my side whenever I'm drafting tedious blog posts such as my Fresh Meat feature, updating the Kindle Deals page, and doing maintenance stuff like adding review links to the archive or cleaning up the sidebar. I listen when I go for walks with my dogs, play Candy Crush—my current Facebook gaming addiction—and when my eyes are too tired to read after a long day of staring at a monitor. As you can probably tell, I'm doing alright with finding reasons to plug in, but I welcome more suggestions! 😀

Most of the things you mentioned above apply to me also but I don't mow the grass. I do however have a couple of small flower beds and when I'm planting or weeding, I sit on my little stool and listen to books. I don't listen to very many during the months I can't be outside but there are a few that the narration is just so much better than reading.
My other reasons/excuses for listening is when my guy and sons watch a movie I'm not interested in so I just plug in and shut them out.
What really got me started on audio books was one of my favorite series was starting to drag for me. I just couldn't get into it after years of getting one book a year. I listened to the book I was having trouble with and got excited about the series all over again!! I highly recommend audio books for this reason.
I've also listened to audiobooks while putting together a puzzle — though you have to like doing puzzles for that, I suppose. 😉 But I like listening to audiobooks during my commute or during work for the menial tasks (which is most of the day for me now, ha).

I just can't get into audio books due to me not being able to picture the story in my head as I do when I am reading a well written book. However, I am looking to adapt my books to audio in the near future. Could you recommend a narrator?
J.L McFadden recently posted…The Guardian Series
I do! Which sadly is also why that more often than not I miss something or I have to rewind to get back to where I last was paying attention. 🙁 I wish I could relax more while listening to them and just enjoy the story.

I've only just started listening to audios, and wow! I'm finally on track (or thereabouts) on my reading challenge. And, like you, I use the books to lighten the load of menial tasks (hate'em, hate'em, hate'em!) which have to get done (cleaning, cooking, etc). As soon as the weather improves I shall enjoy taking my new hobby out in the garden while I'll tend to my flowers and trees 🙂 Yeah, I invested into some decent headphones already, as I find the buds uncomfortable and unable to block out other noises. I live with two boys so the house is never really quiet! 🙂

Does telling hubs how to drive count? I listened to my first audiobook last summer while on a vacation. I thought it was a great idea to listen while we drove around 3 states but turned out not to be as hubs kept interrupting me wanting to talk. :/ My next venture into audio was on a long solo drive…again across 3 states. So the only multi-tasking I've done while listening has been 1) keeping my hubs front running over something/someone and 2) keeping myself from doing the same. I had thought of doing some listening while knitting, but haven't tried it yet. I hadn't thought of cleaning while listening. I'll give that a shot…TODAY.

I only started listening to audiobooks by the end of 2012 and like you, I struggled with a few narrators too. Nowadays I pretty much listen to audiobooks more than I read since I commute to work/school and it does help the time fly by so much faster. So I definitely do multitask even though I have times when I have to rewind a certain part because my mind got preoccupied with something else lol. I love the fact that you can literally be reading anytime, anywhere though! It's awesome! Makes mundane tasks fun 😉 awesome question Carmel!

I'm always looking for excuses to listen! The only thing you mentioned that I don't do is lawn mowing – we live in an apartment so now lawn (one of the few benefits). But I can add to your list! In addition to everything you listed…
I listen while I knit.
I listen while I shower (thank you wireless, Bluetooth speaker).
I listen while I get ready for the day.
And, my most recent addition, I listen while doing laps at the pool! I found this pool-proof mp3 headset and its great! It has special ear buds so you can keep water out of your ears while swimming laps. And I just load my audiobook on there and listen. I have paid some money getting good devices for making it so I can pretty much ALWAYS listen to my audio books 🙂

I don't listen to many audiobooks, but I often multitask and will wash dishes, do laundry, etc. when I'm talking on the phone with my friends/family. It helps me get up from the computer and move around. I like multitasking. LOL.
Jennifer Estep recently posted…To pre-order or not to pre-order …
Yes! I'm listening right now at work. I listen at work, walking, cleaning and during blog maintenance stuff too.
Audio books make up about 80% of my annual reading these days because I'm great at multitasking while listening.
Any time I can put the earbuds in and listen to an audiobook I do it, chores, playing on the computer, taking walks, on the way to work. 🙂 So far the longest one I have listened to is the one I am listening to now which is Shadowfever by KMM and oh my I think I could listen to it even if it went over the almost 20hrs! It's so cool! 🙂
Stormi recently posted…Audioreview of Carrots
Audiobooks already don't work for me and I don't think I could multitask while reading. I don't seem to be able to focus/concentrate enough on them, so if I would do something else while reading it wouldn't do anything for me. Such a shame, because it's a great way to have some extra reading hours.
Mel recently posted…Review 216. Mira Grant – Feed.
My drive to work is almost two-hours long. Audiobooks have made it bliss. Other than that, I don't multitask while listening. Often, at home, I'll just listen to a great book and sail away into that imaginary land.
Hmmm…noise cancelling headphones would actually make it possible to listen to books while vacuuming the house. That would be awesome!

I really only get a change to read them while driving. I tried to use them at the gym and they work in a pinch but usually are too slow to keep me going.
But I completely understand the 20 hour thing, I am closer to fifteen as a max so I mostly listen to YA on audio.

I listen to audiobooks a lot. On the way to work, anytime I'm in the car without the kidlets. I also listen when I run. It makes the workout go by way faster. I listen when I'm crafting also. And at work. If I'm doing mind numbing things I throw in my ear buds and it seems to get done much quicker.

Audiobooks are a way for me to squeeze more books into driving time, sewing, housework, or whatever else. They are definitely a multi-task deal for me.

Hi Carmel!
I never thought about audiobooks at the same time as laundry, cleaning, and cooking but it sounds like listening in would be a good companion! I've started to listen to audiobooks while driving on my commute and so far it's been great for me but I've got to add that to my household routines, too 🙂
I've actually never tried and audiobook. *hangs head* I think it's the length of them that's intimidating for me – I can read the book so much faster than I can listen to it. I know a great narrator can really bring the story to the next level though, so I'm going to give one a try one of these days:)
I keep saying that I will give audiobooks a chance and this is exactly what worries me if I do, oh the multi-tasking! Then I feel I would get so caught up in what I'm doing that I'd worry that I wouldn't truly be getting lost in the story! :/
Cristina recently posted…Sea of Stars (Kricket #2) by Amy A. Bartol
I listen to audiobooks in all the ways you do, too. Pretty much anytime I can't hold a book to read, I figure out how to listen. I recently had my earbuds in while grocery shopping, a task I hate. Was at the checkout line, checked out before I knew it.
Audiobooks have helped me cook more, keep my house, the kitchen always spotless and my sanity when on long road trips or in long lines. Who cares about this stuff anymore when you're listening to a book:)

I'm discovering that I have a very picky ear for narrators but my listen-and-read chore is folding laundry. It's one of the only chores where I can hide in my room so no one is interrupting the read with inane questions every 5 minutes. lol
A little OT but we have crazy hard water here in MT and I found an awesome pin on pinterest that changed my bath scrubbing routine like crazy. If you want to cut your scrubbing down let me know, I'll hook you up. 😉

Yes–that's the only reason I do audio books. I did discover, however, that I can't listen to approve one of my audio books while trying to write another. Like a zombie, I think I need more brains to do that 🙂
I just started really listening within the last few months. I am having a hard time finding time to listen-I have been listening to one right now for a couple of months. I have an over 9 hour road trip 4 times a year and they are wonderful for those. I also listened while wrapping Christmas presents and once this week while peeling potatoes.
Lorna recently posted…Review: The Forever Girl by Rebecca Hamilton
I've listened to a total of 1 audio book. And the only reason I listened to it was because it was sent to me for a review. I found out right away that I do not like audio books. I found that if I tried to do anything else, I would stop hearing the audio. I cannot do other things and keep focus on what is going on in the audio book. Plus, in the audio book that I listened to, there was just one narrator and that did not work for me at all since when I'm reading I tend to hear a girls voice in my head when a female is speaking a a male's voice in my head for male parts.
Mary Kirkland recently posted…Rats 101: Water Bottle Vs Water Dish
The reason I actually don't listen to audio books is because I cannot simply "just listen" to them. I'd listen to an audio book if I were to multi task but just that thought of that leaves me head spinning. I wouldn't be able to focus on the story if I were busy doing something else. My mind would get carried away with me other task. Thus, i'd have to sit on the floor and face a wall to fully invest in the story and that defeats the purpose of audio books. So I cannot listen to audio books.
Lily recently posted…Book Talk: Station Eleven
Audiobooks are my life saviour! I started listening to them heavily this summer when we started building our kitchen. There is nothing like 4-5 hours of rendering/painting/washing the walls, etc. to force you to get creative. :))) Now I do all the work on the farm with audiobooks. LOVE IT!
kara-karina recently posted…Urban Fantasy Early Review: Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop
Short answer- yes, I multitask when I listen to audio books. I like the audio for when I do chores, but I don't see it replacing my visual reads otherwise. I read superfast and the pace of audios makes me bored. I also like to see and hear voices, emotions, etc in my own mind and not how the narrator interprets them. Though, in all fairness, there are a few narrators that really are good and they are a joy to hear read.

ShootingStarsMag recently posted…Some Fine Day Launch Giveaway
I really don't listen to audio books but I can imagine the multitask option is nice at times, but also could miss a lot of things
I'm always multitasking when listening to audiobooks! When I'm doing something and can't hold an actual book. So cleaning house, driving places, etc. It's definitely not half of my book consumption but sometimes it gets close to a quarter of it. Especially with spring coming and I'll be trying to fit in working in the yard. I might end up doing the majority of my 'reading' out there since we're hoping to do a big garden this year.
I will say, now that I've gotten hooked on them I can't imagine not having them!

I actually CANNOT multi-task with audiobooks. Weird, I know @_@ I can only listen to audiobooks when I'm not doing anything else… I absolutely need to clean my hands off of anything else before I attempt to try, because otherwise, I'd get SO distracted and I'd end up going back to listen to what I "missed". Even chores! Even with chores I cannot listen to audiobooks. I wish there were ways to go around this because I'd be missing out on something so cool.

Great article lovely!

I usually put an audio-book on when I'm ironing but I always find I am distracted so I never fully appreciate the story – I only iron once a week as well (little bits in between) so it generally takes 6-7 weeks to finish one book. I actually just cancelled my audible subscription for this very reason.

With my first attempt, I tried to multi-task, (which was one of the reasons I wanted to try audiobooks, because I normally love multi-tasking, LOL!), but I kept getting distracting either by the book or by the task. I think I need more practice! I enjoyed my audiobook while driving alone, though! Great post! 🙂

I haven't given audiobooks a try yet, but when I do I imagine I'll probably multitask, whcih is also one of the reasons why I am not sure if they are something for me. When I read a book I can give it my full attention, but it seems weird to sit still on the couch with headphones in and not do anything except listening, but if you're doing other chores you can't 100% focus on the book. Maybe I'll just have to give it a try, for some mind numbing chores listening to a book at the same time might be a nice distraction.

I listen during all the tasks that you mentioned (except the tractor mower, I don't even have a lawn!), especially while walking to and from work. It's about 30 minutes one way so I can get a good amount of listening in! The other major listening time I have are when I go grocery shopping. I always bring a list, and I find it so boring if I don't have something to listen to!
Danya recently posted…Review: Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop
Since audio book is my primary source of reading books, I actually don't multi-task. I find myself being so sucked into the world, that I am unable to concentrate on anything else. During the winter I've tried knitting while listening, but I get so drawn in that dropping stitches becomes a terrible problem! So, I still haven't finished that scarf I promised my husband two years ago! ;]
I've only recently really gotten into listening to audiobooks regularly myself. I'd listen to them sometimes in the past, but then, I'd get fidgety and end up buying the book to finish it. They never seem to read as fast as I did, and this is before I realized I could speed narrators up. I listen to audiobooks during my commutes to and from work–well, wherever I go really. My husband is the cook of the house, and we have a dishwasher. But I'll listen while loading up the dishwasher and manually washing the things that can't go in the dishwasher. I listen while doing cleaning and laundry. I listen while shopping. I also listen while I'm gaming as long as I'm not doing anything that requires a lot of brain power. I can get away with it sometimes in my office, but my job is highly interactive and requires a great deal of focus most of the time, so I only get to really listen during lunch breaks and sometimes during the afternoons after everything's done. I used to have a little bit of a hard time just sitting and listening while doing nothing else, but I'm getting better at that.
Tiara recently posted…Tough Traveling – Vampires
I definitely multitask with audiobooks. For me it's mostly the commute to work, but I also listen when shoveling snow, mowing the yard, or during walks in the park (which I probably shouldn't do because I totally wouldn't hear a mass murderer sneaking up on me).

This chapter discusses the development and neural basis of face and eye gaze processing in typical and atypical developmental populations. Contrary to the view that there are innate mechanisms, interactive specialization emphasizes the importance of the gradual specialization of individual regions through their emerging role within brain networks starting from a few initial predispositions.

Security Enhancement & Solution for Authentication Frame Work in IEEE 802.16
WIMAX- Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is going to be an emerging wireless technology for the future. Wireless networking market is thriving because of increasing popularity of Broad Band internet. Wireless network is not completely secure because of rapid release of new technologies, lack of physical infrastructure and market competition. It is (WiMAX) a new technology; not deployed widely to justify the evidence of threats, risk and vulnerability in real situations. Although authentication process is a key to secure access in wireless network, the security sub layer of IEEE802.16 employs an authenticated client server key management protocol in which the Base Station (Server), controls the distribution of keying materials to the Mobile Station(the client).

Siung Beach(updated on 1/26/2015)
Having 250 Routes for Cliff Climbing
Tepus, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (see map)
Siung Beach is located in a remote area in Gunung Kidul Regency, to the south of Tepus Sub-Regency to be exact. The distance is around 70 kilometer from the center of Yogyakarta city or it will take you around 2 hours drive. Since it is difficult to get public transportation to go the beach, it would be easier if you make your travel with your own vehicle. Public bus or mini van from Wonosari city will stop at Tepus area only and you have to wait long to get one.
When you plan to make your travel by your car or motorcycle, make sure that they are in a very good condition. The reason is that you are going to go through challenging road with climbs, sharp bending and sometimes slopes under the hot sun in between limestone hills and vegetable fields. You will have to overcome all the hindrances since you come to Pathuk area (the first Sub-Regency that you will pass by in Gunung Kidul Regency) until you get to the beach.
You cannot escape from the hindrances. The easiest route with smooth asphalted road you best take is Yogyakarta - Wonosari continued with Wonosari - Baron - Tepus route. Another route, namely Yogyakarta - Imogiri - Gunung Kidul, has harder challenges with road full of holes, while Wonogiri - Gunung Kidul route is to far to take from Yogyakarta city.
Suffering before getting the happiness seems to represent your journey to Siung Beach. You will fee happy, released and peaceful after you get to the beach. The blue ocean and white, clean sands will cure tiredness. Some wooden houses are available for visitors to take shelter or to have a chat with friends while enjoying the beauty of the beach panorama.
One of the prominent enchantments of Siung Beach is its coral reef. The huge coral reefs at the west and east parts of the beach have important function to add the beauty of the scenery and to border with other beach.
The coral reef of which form resembles the fang of a monkey protrudes little bit to the ocean. The name of the beach was - according to Wastoyo, the local senior leader - taken from the form of the coral reef that resembles the shape of a monkey's fang. The coral reef remains beautiful to enjoy with the waves sometimes hit it and the seawater permeates through its cavities.
The monkey's fang coral reef that still stands firmly despite eroding waves becomes the witness of the triumph of Siung area in the past. Wastoyo tells that Siung area was one of the trading centers during the time of Islamic leaders in Gunung Kidul area. Close to the beach, in Winangun area, there is a traditional market. Here, Mrs Kami and Mrs Podi, the widows of the servants of the Yogyakarta and Surakarta Kingdoms lived.
Most of the people in Siung area make their living by producing salt. They rely their lives on the seawater that is rich in rich content. The salt produced by the local people becomes the main commodity in Winangun market. Even though the sea is rich in various kinds of fish, not many local people dare to go sea by that time. Most of them just catch fish at the shallow waters.
The trading in Winangun market was decreasing when the market was "moved" to Yogyakarta. The new market in Yogyakarta that used to be the Winangun market in Siung area was named Jowinangun that stands for Jobo Winangun, meaning outside the Winangun area. Local people lost their livelihood and not many people come to this area. There is no history telling what local people did to keep alive.
It was during the vacuum time that the beauty of the coral reefs in Siung Beach regained its popularity. In around 1989, a group of nature lovers from Japan utilized the coral cliffs to the west of the beach as an arena for cliff climbing. Then, in 1990s, there was a competition of Asian Climbing Gathering utilizing the coral cliff at Siung Beach. Since then, the popularity of Siung Beach began to come back.
As many as 250 climbing routes are now available at Siung Beach to facilitate the lovers of cliff climbing sport. Referring to the rule that the existing route can be added with the consent from the maker of the previous path, the routes can possibly be added. Many groups have made use of the climbing routes in this beach, such as a group of students from the State University of Yogyakarta that was about to climb when YogYES came to visit this beach.
The other facility supporting the cliff climbing activity is the camping ground in the eastern part of the beach. Tents are erected in the camping ground and fire can be set to spend the night. The only requirement to go camping there is destroying the environment and disturbing the turtle habitat as the sign board there says.
Close to the camping ground, a wooden stage-house can be functioned as the base camp as another choice than erecting the tent. It contains 10 - 15 people. The stage-house enables visitors to get wider view of the exotic beach. You only have to get permission from local people and pay some amount of money to use the stage-house.
When night comes or when there are not many visitors, the long-tailed monkeys will get down from the cliff to the shore. The existence of these rare long-tailed monkeys can be one of the reasons why the naming of the coral reef was analogized with the fang of the monkey, not other kinds of animals.
Wastoyo explains, based on what wise men explained, the prosperity and triumph of Siung Beach will come soon. The visit of more people and the increasing popularity as an arena of cliff climbing signal the movement of this beach to its triumph. The visit of tourists, including you, will surely speed up the attainment of the triumph.

Rreef plots mainland expansion
Related topics
Rreef Alternative Investments, the world's largest alternative investment manager, hopes to expand into the mainland with initial targets in the real estate and infrastructure sectors.
'We want to move into China's market as quickly as possible and we will start by focusing on real estate and infrastructure sectors,' said Asieh Mansour, Rreef's chief economist and strategist.
'China has been growing quite rapidly and its huge population and increasing numbers in the middle class are all among major factors attracting us to set up business there.'
The investment firm did not provide a timetable for the mainland expansion or cite the reasons for picking the two sectors.
A source told the South China Morning Post that the company had already sent 'an acquisition team' to the mainland to 'monitor the market'.
'They will be monitoring the performance of the four primary alternative assets [real estate, infrastructure, private equity and hedge funds],' the source said.
Rreef, the global alternative investment management arm of Deutsche Bank's asset management division, managed assets worth 68.2 billion (HK$777.51 billion) worldwide by the end of September.
Real estate, its core business, accounted for Euro58.7 billion followed by infrastructure with Euro5.9 billion, hedge fund with Euro3.1 billion and private equity with Euro500 million.
Mr Mansour said that real estate, infrastructure, private equity and hedge funds had delivered higher returns than traditional investments such as stocks and bonds in the past decade.
A recent survey from Watson Wyatt revealed that about US$200 billion flowed into alternative assets in 2005.
From this year to 2010, alternatives would account for 10 to 20 per cent of the world's total institutional investment, Mr Mansour quoted a Russell's survey as saying.

Federal User Fees:
Fee Design Options and Implications for Managing Revenue Instability

What GAO Found
GAO identified six key fee design decisions related to how fees are set, used, and reviewed that, in the aggregate, enable Congress to design fees that strike the desired balance between agency flexibility and congressional control. For example, narrowly limiting the activities for which fees may be used heightens congressional control over the funds; however, doing so can also reduce an agency's flexibility to reallocate resources as needs change and may increase administrative costs. Design decisions also have program management implications. For example, the frequency of fee reviews and adjustments affects the alignment between collections and costs. Failing to review fees regularly has sometimes resulted in large increases when fees are eventually updated, creating costly challenges. Understanding the implications of fee design is important to avoid such unintended consequences.
Identifying and understanding unobligated balances--the portion of obligational authority that has not yet been obligated--in fee-based accounts is challenging. There is no single list of all federal user fees, and in general, budget accounts are not labeled in a way that indicates whether an account contains fee collections. This makes it challenging to identify whether (or which) unobligated balances in an account are fee-related. Further, some fee designs include dedicated reserves that appear as unobligated balances. Despite these challenges, funding a program or agency through fees does not eliminate the need for careful monitoring and managing of unobligated balances.
Considering key questions about costs and collections can enable Congress and agencies to identify and manage potential fluctuations in fee collections-known as revenue instability-as well as potential consequences. Importantly, decision makers need to understand potential vulnerabilities in the context of a fee's design. Examples of such questions include: what is the risk that fee revenue instability will affect a program? What analysis is needed to understand factors such as cost drivers and elements that influence collections? Are there data limitations that could add uncertainty to collection estimates? Can the agency quickly respond to changing costs? What factors affect the timing and pattern of collections and spending? If revenue instability is a function of a fee's design, the most sustainable solutions are often found by realigning costs and collections. In other cases, maintaining a reserve can help address sudden or temporary fluctuations in collections and/or costs and can minimize the effect of revenue instability on operations.
Why GAO Did This Study
In 2012, the President's Budget reported nearly $300 billion collected in user fees from the public. Given the nation's fiscal condition it is critical that every funding source and spending decision be carefully considered and applied to its best use. GAO was asked to review oversight opportunities for fees. GAO examined (1) key Congressional design decisions and related implications for achieving the desired balance between agency flexibility and congressional control, (2) issues related to identifying and managing unobligated balances in selected fee-funded agencies, and (3) key questions to identify potential sources of fee revenue instability and to manage any consequences. To do so, GAO analyzed laws, agency documents and guidance, literature, and prior GAO work. In addition, GAO interviewed officials at three fully feefunded agencies, which were selected to illustrate implications of key design options, unobligated fee balances, and approaches for managing revenue instability. GAO also validated certain findings with budget subject matter specialists.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making any new recommendations in this report. GAO previously recommended that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review fee-funded programs and identify opportunities to improve their design and better align fee collections with program costs. OMB has not yet taken action on this recommendation. Two of the three selected fully fee-funded agencies provided technical comments which were incorporated as appropriate.
