An empirical model of the environmental effect of FDI in host countries: Analysis based on Chinese panel data
From the 1970's, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flowed into host countries. With the development of economy in host countries the environment deteriorated. The overall goal of this paper is to estimate whether the impacts of FDI positive or negative on environment in host countries. To meet this overall goal, it is constructed a simultaneous system with data of 28 provinces in China (1992-2008). This system supposes the pollution indicators to be determined by economic scale, industrial composition and pollution density of a province, in which pollution density is created to estimate the environmental effect of FDI more exactly than traditional technological character. Also the domestic and foreign capital is tried to distinguish to make the pollution source clear. Based on a panel data of 28 provinces (1992-2008) with the three-stage least squares (3sls) estimator, the results of the system show that with the domestic investment, the environmental effect is positive, which means that FDI increases pollution emission. The direct environmental effect of FDI, which does not include domestic investment, is different decided by various pollution indicators.

ADD and Alzheimer's: Are These Diseases Related?
Can attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) cause Alzheimer's or dementia? Are the symptoms I'm experiencing a result of Alzheimer's or is it ADD/ADHD?
ADDitude Answers
Can attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) cause Alzheimer's or dementia?
No, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) cannot cause Alzheimer's or dementia. With ADD/ADHD, we're dealing with a problem that has to do with the chemical dynamics of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for movement and mood regulation, and norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter associated with "fight or flight" (your abilitiy to respond to stress), release at the brain's synapses. With Alzheimer's, the brain's wiring is destroyed by a thick glop that accumulates on the neurons.
Are the symptoms I'm experiencing a result of Alzheimer's or is it ADD/ADHD?
I see women — successful and smart — come into my office and say, "I'm afraid I have Alzheimer's, and it scares the crap out of me. I have trouble coming up with words that used to come easily. I can't concentrate as well as I did." I do the evaluation, and they have ADD/ADHD syndrome, but they don't have a history of these difficulties before menopause. It makes sense, though, because estrogen is one of the primary modulators for the release of dopamine in the brain. As the estrogen level drops, as it does in menopause, the result — for some women — looks an awful lot like ADD/ADHD.

I'd recommend that you have further evaluation when you become concerned. If Alzheimer's is a worry, it might help alleviate it to explore other options, like ADHD, that could be causing symptoms.
For women, ADHD symptoms often get a lot worse when they reach the age of changing hormones: Women Hormones and ADHD. This could explain why symptoms are worsening, if, indeed, it's ADHD.

I used to have an excellent memory before becoming an adult. Ever since I became 19, I started having some trouble, but it became worse after I was 40. I don't think it's just the age. In my case, the first diagnosis was depression and generalized anxiety. After those two were managed, my memory still was getting really bad. My husband and I were concerned I was developing Alzheimer's.
I was tested, and found that my memory itself is fine, but I have an executive skills impairment and ADHD. Some of the symptoms of ADHD can be confused with Alzheimer's.
In my case, it's my ADHD that leads to me missing appointments, not so much because I forget them, but because I get distracted with other things and remember too late.
My humble opinion is that you should get tested and see what is happening to your memory and to your ability to organize information.

I am a 45 year old teacher and I too struggle with word recall. I have noticed that it increases when I am tired, not feeling well, or stressed. I am not sure if it is my ADHD or not. It is very frustrating.
I have also been screened for Alzheimer's and for dementia The tests say I'm "normal." I take 150 mg of Lamictal, 120 mg of Cymbalta, and 60 mg of Straterra to control my issues. For me, it is very frustrating to not be able to recall a student's name immediately. I don't do it very often, but it is still embarrassing. I just tell my students that my brain is tired.
With my colleagues, they usually supply the word for me. They are aware of my health issues and are very understanding. Thank goodness. I'm still an effective teacher, and use those moments when I have a brain freeze to joke with my students about it. I am learning to accept that these "brain freezes" are part of who I am. It's not something I like, but I was making myself crazy with negative thoughts about myself. I'm trying to learn to love myself warts and all. It's not easy. I have found that if I don't make a big deal about it, then others don't either. If they do say something I just reply that I'm tired.

I have been afraid of Alzheimer's all my life because my Grandmother had early onset. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to tell if it started because I am so forgetful anyways because of my ADHD.
But I think I know the difference now. I believe I am going to get myself tested for Alzheimer's when:
1. Instead of getting on the wrong bus because I wasn't paying attention I get on the wrong bus because I forgot which one has been taking me home for the last 20 years.
2. Instead of forgetting an appointment because I forgot to look at the right day on my calendar I forget an appointment because I don't know how to READ the calendar anymore.
3. Instead of not giving the right amount of money at the cash register because I wasn't paying attention to the correct amount I don't give it because I forgot how to COUNT.
I think that will keep me on the right track and comfort me when I worry about it. Hopefully it can help you too.

The long arm of the law has come for Playgirl-posing, Fleshbot-award-winning, spotlight-wanting Levi Johnston (and his money).
That comes out to be just over $20,000. Bristol Palin originally asked for $1750 per month to be paid retroactively to the birth, so she came away from the hearing with just about everything she wanted.
There is no word yet on the custody of the child, which Palin sued for back in December.

The protesters, who according to organisers numbered more than 100,000 - local reporters put the number at up to 70,000 - demanded that General Gotovina be provisionally set free and tried in Croatia. Yesterday's rally, organised by veterans of Croatia's war of independence, ended without incident. General Gotovina, 50, was arrested last Wednesday in the Canary Islands after four years on the run and transferred to the international war crimes court on Saturday. The general, who went into hiding in 2001 after war crimes charges against him became public, will enter his plea on a seven-point indictment today. The charges deal with the killing of 150 Serbs by troops under his command and the torching of more than 20,000 Serb homes in an operation code-named "Storm".
The 1995 offensive ended a Serb rebellion and Croatia's war of independence. It also ended centuries of the Croatian Serb minority, more than 200,000 of whom fled from their homes in the aftermath.
But thanks to the operation, General Gotovina is revered as a national hero by the majority of Croatians. Recent opinion polls by the Puls agency show that more than 60 per cent were outraged by the general's arrest and transfer to The Hague.
General Gotovina was arrested at a beachside hotel, the Bitacora in Tenerife, when Spanish police swooped. He was finishing dinner with a friend, Jozo Grgic, when nine Spanish agents came to the table and simply asked: "Ante Gotovina?" "Yes, it's me", he answered, before being handcuffed. "I don't want my son to see me with handcuffs," the fugitive added in Spanish, a plea apparently ignored by his captors, as the pictures have now been broadcast on Croatian television.
Spanish authorities have revealed that the fugitive was travelling on a false passport in the name of Kristijan Horvat - which translates as "Christian Croat" - and had travelled widely during his time on the run. The passport bore stamps of entry to Tahiti, Argentina, Chile, China, Russia, the Czech Republic, Mauritania and Mauritius. When arrested, he had a dozen €500 notes on him. In his hotel room, another forged passport was found, bearing the name Stjepan Senicic. Spanish police are also examining the contents of the general's laptop, found in the room.
For many Croats, the circumstances leading up to the arrest remain a mystery. The Croatian government, which told UN war crimes investigators that he was not in Croatia, has denied reports that it provided the war crimes investigators and Spanish police with his mobile phone number.
According to well-informed sources, months of phone taps of the general's wife, Dunja, and his friend, financier Hrvoje Petrac, arrested last August in Greece, led to the detention. Mr Grgic is said to fear for his life as many in Croatia regard him as a traitor to the national hero.

The brain requires an uninterrupted supply of blood to grow and function so much so that interruption of blood flow caused by stroke or injury often causes permanent disability. The network of vessels that carry blood to and from neural tissue are formed during development and are maintained throughout the lifetime of an individual. The growth and stability of this system depends upon important communication between the blood vessel and the surrounding milieu, which includes neural crest-derived cells like pericytes and meningeal fibroblasts and the brain itself. Experiments in this proposal utilize Foxc1 mutant mice, which have defects in both vascular and brain development, to gain further insight into how the brain vasculature forms. This approach is unique because Foxc1 does not have a cell autonomous role in brain endothelial cell (EC) function. Rather, the defects in vascular development likely stem from the loss of important developmental cues that emanate from tissues and cells adjacent to the blood vessels. One goal of this grant is to determine how absence of the meninges and defects in neocortical development differentially contribute to vascular malformations in Fox1 mutant mice. We will be focusing on how potential disruption of neural derived angiogenic cues like Wnt and VEGF alters vascular development in the perineural and neocortical vascular plexuses. Foxc1 is expressed by brain pericytes but its function in this cell-type is unknown. Analysis of a pericyte conditional Foxc1 mutant mice suggest that Foxc1 plays in integral role in pericyteendothelial interactions, specifically in regulating cell proliferation of both cell types. We propose to use genetic profiling and in vitro experiments in to identify pericyte derived factors downstream of Foxc1 and determine how they may regulate cell proliferation in the neural vasculature.
Stroke is a significant case of long-term disability and death and can result from congenital vascular defects that occur during fetal development. The research in this proposal seeks to significantly expand our understanding of what controls the formation of the cerebral vasculature. Understanding how the cerebral vasculature forms will not only shed light on the etiology of congenital vascular malformations but also provide insight into the developmental angiogenic pathways that are likely reactivated during stroke recovery.

There's also a good chance you won't find it on this list, in which case you should probably stick it in the comments at the end of this post so the rest of us can check it out.
There's no middle ground here – you're either going to love it or hate it.
Beyond The Black Rainbow (2010)

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
I've never walked out of a movie theatre before, instead preferring to stay and endure the steaming pile in front of me and at least "get my money's worth" before leaving. AI was undoubtedly the closest I have come to walking out of a cinema in my life, as I watched people in the rows in front leave at around the 2-hour mark.
AI is the bastard child of Stanley Kubrick who had been working on the concept since the 70s. The film was in fact handed over to Steven Spielberg in 1995, but remained stagnant until Kubrick sadly passed away in 1999. The film generally received good reviews, but for my money it was way too long and uninteresting.
Wrong (2012)
Wrong is a film that looks like it was created just to be different, to completely break the rules of traditional cinema and instead of building a careful story full of believable characters, interactions and emotion it tries to blow your mind. The film itself tells the tale of a man who wakes up only to find he has lost his dog. The rest of the film is spent following the quest for Paul the dog which plays out like some unending psychedelic experience in which you wonder if you'll ever feel normal again.
Perhaps Wrong isn't quite as polarising as some of the other films on this list but there will certainly be a divide in the audience between those who love being thrown into the back of a crazy van and driven around town for a few hours and others who don't see the need to create such an extremely warped universe that leaves the viewer with such a sense of unease.
Sex Drive (2008)
I almost hate myself for putting this film on the list, but then again I suppose that's the point. Never before have I taken to such a laddish tale of balls-first masculinity, and never before have I laughed quite so hard at a series of Amish jokes. With a name like Sex Drive I was ready to completely hate this film when it first came out, but there are subtle flashes of brilliance starting with the credits, which to this day stick in my mind for some unknown reason.
The real saviour is Seth Green, so it goes without saying that if you're not a fan of the actor, Robot Chicken or Chris' character from Family Guy then you probably won't feel the same. The jokes are dry, barely conscious quips laced with passive aggression and delivered on a silver plate. At a push I'd still call this a "bad" film, with some incredibly redeeming comedy thrown in.
The Sixth Sense (1999)
As I write this I'm struggling to see how this M. Night Shyamalan film has scored an 8.2 on IMDB, been nominated for 37 awards and walked off with another 32. In my opinion this is a terrible film with a predictable "something will happen at some point!" storyline that on careful repeat watchings barely makes sense in parts. It's rather hard to talk about this one without a spoiler or two, so give this last paragraph a miss if you've not seen it (or better still, don't watch it).
The symbolism of a certain colour is not so much subtly hinting at a twist rather than jamming it down your throat. Recent productions have clearly demonstrated that subtlety is not M. Night Shyamalan's forte, and this film should have been a warning shot. You might love it, but I sure know a lot of people who didn't.
Eraserhead (1977)
A dark and very strange tale of a man struggling with his wife and newly born mutant child… thing. Eraserhead is part horror part psychotic break which will leave you wondering what you've just watched. One thing is for sure: you will not forget this film, whether it's because you loved how disconnected from reality it was or because you quickly grew tired of the increasingly bizarre plot.
Being a David Lynch film it is of course intended to conjure a sense of foreboding, loneliness and misery. At least, thats how I interpreted it, though everyone will take something different from this film; and it won't all be good things either. The film drags at points, but it also drags you through a filed of emotion and despair and you're either going to love it or hate it from the outset.
Have I completely missed the mark? Do you love these films? Are they all rubbish? Any others that should be on the list? Tell me how wrong I am in the comments, below!

The best yerba mate I have ever tried. By far, the best product of iHerb, excellent value for your money. Has a soft "earthly" flavor, packed with nutrients. Way more beneficial to your health than even the best grade green teas.
Posted by Reviewer1235636 on Feb 08, 2015
I am sorry to give it one star. Eco Teas is a good company, but the review is about the yerba mate they are packing into this product. The"taste"of it is awful. You can immediately tell a good yerba mate just as you can immediately tell of a good red wine. It actually has little if any taste and if you have a sensitive digestive system it may not really agree with you. Again, this is just my experience with this particular yerba mate, and I have been drinking mate since a young age. My guess since I have not checked with the Company yet, is that this yerba mate is from Brasil - which tends to be of a different strand and of much lower quality than yerba mate from Argentina or from Uruguay.
The BEST!

Excellent tea and excellent packaging

I bought this tea in the smaller bags before from a different source, and they split during transportation. This 5 pound bag is much sturdier. Love the EcoTea. Used it to curb appetite, six years ago, when dieting and haven't stopped drinking it since.

well worth mentioning is hypoleuca. don't expect an abundance of leaves, but

the whitest of white backs, not to mention a nicely rippled egdge.
hypoleuca, is one of those plants that makes you think, "now, if i were a

At check-in my wife inquired about the location of laundry facility and was told it was not for guest use. We were provided directions to forested campsite, however there were several very low hanging branches across road that made getting to site without scratching RV impossible. Wife drove tow car to assigned site only to find it occupied. Went to office and explained situation. Was told no one should be in the site and when campground was built it was not made for big RVs. Noticed several pull thru sites with few trees were empty along main entrance road to office so asked about availability. Were told they were only 30 amp but to pick any one we liked. Selected a site, grounded RV jacks, deployed slides, hooked up electric and water only to find no power. Plugged into adjacent site with same result. Moved to another site with good results. Went to office to advise on site selected and lack of power at other sites. Inquired about use of laundry facility since it was advertised on website. Was told it was being used by staff to clean cabin linen and that was the first priority. Said I understood and again asked if I could use it once they were done. Was told they may be using it a long time. Asked question again and was told there was only one machine working and I would be better off driving 16 miles to another town to use the laundromat there. Later that day we noticed the lights out in the laundromat with a closed sign posted in the window. There was a combination lock for entry and since she had not offered to provide the combination I decided it was not worth the bother. I have visited many RV parks over the last 10 years having accumulated over 70K miles traveled and I have to say this was the worse customer service experience I have encountered. On a positive note, the customer service and meals at the resort diner were fantastic. Location is great for visiting National Park. - Dewster

We stayed here because it was close to the National Park. I guess the best way to describe this park is to say it is rustic. It appears not to have been maintained over the years. There are two camping areas. In the forested area, the sites were very muddy and dark. The sunny sites had grass and when the sun was out they got some light. Besides the camping area there are lots of "cabins" which have been here for a while. The folks that run the campground could not have been nicer but we would not stay here again. - PRG

Returned again as part of the annual NATCOA Fall Colors rally. Sadly, the outhouse was no longer there (Its a portable unit), so you must be self contained, especially in the late part of the open season. Also, large sections of some of the larger sites had pounded from the recent rains and could do with a fresh coat of gravel to make them usable during inclement weather. There are several sites that border above the river with a wonderful view, but no way down to the river below from the sites. - The Redneck Express

Sauk Park is a primitive campground that's part of the Skagit County Parks system. It's technically a subsidiary park of Howard Miller State Park, as both are maintained by Rusty Reagan. This primitive camping at its best, campfires, smores, thick tree canopy of large firs, the roar of the Sauk river adjacent to the park. Toilet facilities consist of a standard plastic porta-toilet, similar to the kind you see at fairs, but in far cleaner shape, there is only one. This park is not recommended for long trailers, or 5th wheels, or giant motorhomes. Smaller Trailers, Truck Campers and Class C Motorhomes would be able to navigate the park without problem. Sauk Park is open seasonally -- April 15 through October 31. This is subject to earlier openings and later closings as weather conditions allow. Please call Rusty Reagan at 853-8808 for any and all updates. The nearest dump station is down the road at Howard Miller State Park. POLICIES: Camp in designated sites only, Self-Pay camp fee $5.00/night, Maximum of 14 days, Quiet time 10:00 PM - 8:00 AM, Dogs must be on leash, Alcohol regulations strictly enforced. - The Redneck Express

We booked a spot at Steelhead park and were OK with it. When we arrived it was very clean. What we didn't like is that no longer than five minutes after setting up our site a guy came by on a golf cart and said we need to put the dog on a leash at all times and we have to be quiet after 10:00. Well that just blew it for our group. We just got out of the city to get away from rules and regulations and enjoy the outdoors, fat chance that was going to happen here. we asked for our money back for one night of the two nights we booked, we paid for one of the nights as we arrived so just to say after 5 to 15 minutes of being there they would not give our money back. Another thing we were unhappy about is that the sites are so close to each other that if you spit the wrong way you would probably hit someone in a site next to you. Well we left without our money and went down the road to another campground. The bottom line is if you want to sit in your RV, hear every word your neighbors are saying, keep your dog locked up and sit in the hot sun with very little tree coverage, Steelhead park will be great for you or church outings. - troydaman

Beautiful campground on the river. Sites are level and paved with grass, fire pit and picnic tables. Lots of fisherman out to snag a salmon or two, and the fall leaves were gorgeous. Very peaceful and a good place to camp if you are planning a North Cascades trip. - veedubwesty

I really like this park. A beautiful park like setting right on the Skagit River. Asphalt roads and asphalt level sites, 30 and 50 amp service, tons of water pressure, and clean bathrooms and showers. The bathrooms and showers are older but absolutely spotless. Most of the sites are pull thru. The few back in sites are my favorites since they back right up to the river. The only downsides here are a lack of privacy between sites, no sewer hookups, and no wifi. If it had sewer and wifi, I would give it a 10. (The park Ranger says the wifi is being installed). Howard Miller beats the two State parks in the area hands down. - whizbang

This is a camp park I love; it is more primitive than the typical RV park with all the rules and do's and don'ts with bumper to bumper RV's. This camp site just pull in and enjoy the beauty of the river and trees. Feel free to do as you please, but remember to respect your neighbors. We are a loud crew and never have any problems. its great for small campers in the 20ft range and for tents (nothing paved just natural ground beneath your feet). I drive my 32ft MH into one of the group sites for $20.00 a night and I'm 15 ft from the river. if you want to feel like you are in the woods and really camping this is the place to be. - troydaman

Sites were tight. You share water. The roads were narrow and the tent campers parked too close to make getting in or out easy. If the park is full the sites are tight we were lucky that no one was in B. Ok for a trip to the national park. - littlegeneral

This campground's location is great for visiting the national park. It is aged and has many older permanent campers but the grass pull-through sites are fairly level and easy to get into. We had a 50 amp site and all utilities worked well as did the Wi-Fi. We were not able to receive any over the air TV channels and they do not cable. The host is very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again. - dandg

This small campground gets a 10 for location as it is just a few miles from the west entrance of North Cascades NP. It also gets a 10 for the friendliness of the campground hostess. But beyond that, it's no 10. There are a couple of lanes with some back-in sites, tent sites, and pull-thru sites and a few trees at some of the sites provided nice shade but that's it. We had to use blocks under our jacks to get our rig level as the grass-covered ground required adjustments. The bath house was okay at best. The toilets and showers themselves were clean, but it's clear the spiders enjoy this place in the corners, on the floors, etc., and many would not find this okay. Some of the hookups were not working but ours was; would be problematic if the CG got full. For us, all we wanted was a safe, functional site close to the Park so we were satisfied. For this place to be better, the owner really needs to put some money back into it -- spray for spiders, fix broken picnic tables and hookups, upgrade bath house, etc. Good WiFi and Verizon service. And again, you can't beat the location if you're visiting the park. - Jolly Out There

Lots of permanent residents. But great to be sitting in the middle of tall pine trees. Breeze blowing and loved noise through trees. Manager very nice. Quiet park.
We had just come from Canada for a month and pretty much living off the grid. So nice to have 150+ cable channels & WiFi. - Long01

We were the only transients in the park. Nice tall pine trees, soft pine needles on the ground. The spot we were in required leveling. Had to use WiFi repeater to get good internet. Host very pleasant and helpful. Good water pressure. Nice overnight stop on way to Seattle area. We would stay here again. - Jim Lee

I needed a campsite on short notice and was very glad to find this one. Nestled among giant western red cedars, my site was level grass. It is a rain forest feel. Centrally located for our western Cascade day trips. Only complaint was how far the bathroom were from our site. Would stay here again. - G&S Smith
Aug 2016 - $40.00
This KOA/Thousand Trails was a disappointment. The pull thru 50 amp site we requested had untrimmed trees which prevented us from getting into it. They moved us to a back in 30 amp site which did not have one blade of grass on it. It was impossible to keep the dirt outside and we certainly would be in a mess if it rained. There was very little grass on most sites.
Personnel was extremely rude. There is no office. You call on a speaker from a locked gate (sign says NO check-ins before noon) and they drive up in a golf cart to assist you. They will fine you $25 if you go over 5 mph. They have ALOT of strange rules here. This seems to be the only big rig accessible park in the area so if you wish to see North Cascades National Park this is it. We will not return. - Freedom Bus

Nice shaded site, plenty of room on both sides of the camper, and an overall nice park. No cable or OTA channels though. Away from major roads so nice and quiet. Relaxing campground and heavily used but because it is so large it did not seem crowded.
We would definitely stay again. - John Borajkiewicz

This campground is so beautiful! I enjoyed walking around the meadow hayfield and taking pictures of the mountains. The trails are great for those of us that don't really enjoy strenuous hikes. We went mid June and it rained on us quite a bit, but we made sure to venture out every time the rain let up. The bathrooms were very clean and I believe I paid 75 cents for 3 minutes which was long enough for me. The camp host sells firewood at his site. - Happy Camper 68

Price does not include online "$8 reservation fee." I have stayed in many WA State Parks, and this one is similar to most of the others. Rasar SP is heavily wooded, so the sites offer more privacy than some other State Parks. The W&E site was easy to get into and was reasonably level. We selected a site in easy walking distance to the restroom/shower building. The showers were attractive and clean and even had an adjustable shower head. Sadly someone had partially clogged the drain, so it slowly filled with water during the shower (50 cents (quarters) for 3 minutes). I had to step into the ADA shower to dry off and get dressed to keep my feet out of the flood. But by the time I left, the water had receded. I was unable to find anyone to report the problem to... (due to the nature of the slow fill and eventual draining, it was likely not immediately obvious to the service staff). Otherwise, this was an attractive and very pleasant Washington State park. - Pete_by_the_river

Really nice park with lots of privacy in most. Clean grounds, restrooms where spotless. Price defects reservation fee. Arrived early, but someone had not left yet. So hiking was next. Park sits along Skagit River, park has a large field. Saw no elk, or eagles during stay. Returned later for my site. Owner was not to found, and that's when staff got me another site, and firewood. Service was excellent. Across road are some beautiful group sites, and a few cabins. - NXTSTOP

What a beautiful campground! Loop A was the only loop still open this late in the season and it was full. It is in the trees and far enough off the road to be peaceful. If you are a smaller rig you have lots of site options but for the larger among us, not too many. We did fit our 38' fifth wheel, truck and Jeep into site A2. Because of tree placement we had to back into our pull through site. Swing room was a big issue but both the rig and the forest were unscathed. We saw a few other large rigs who faced similar challenges. Site A4 looked promising. The dump station and water fill are also tight for large/tall rigs. Amazingly, Verizon phone and 4G worked well.
This campground is truly a gem. - PBuds
Jun 2016 - $8.00
We lucked into a nice long pull-through in loop A. When we first arrived on a Monday afternoon, the board coming in said both Loop A & B were full. But we needed to go through Loop A to turn around, lots of empty sites marked as available. Loop A sites are mostly level. Sites in Loop B varied, but there are a couple of nice sites in that loop. Loop C was closed due to the fire. After putting our slides out, it was not possible to walk around out 36' motorhome. This campground is not really big rig friendly. OK if you have an older unit and or no slides. We brushed against tree branches on both sides getting out of the site. But when set up we had a nice private site, but real tight on the sides. No OTA TV reception, good Verizon cell and broadband. - Bob and Inga
Aug 2015 - $8.00
I have been to 35 National Park campgrounds and this ranks in the bottom half. While the sites are "woodsy" and spacious most are not level and slideouts barely make it. There is no electric and water at the sites. Worse yet, there are no showers in an area where water is not a problem. I will not return here. - exportman

I would give Jim Creek a 10+ if the WiFi had worked, but we were here for a week and it never worked even at the office. They said the weather had something to do with it, which must mean "a cloud" since we had 3 glorious days. Also, we were not able to get TMobile/AT&T cell to give us more than Emergency Service only, but I understand that Verizon does work. Saying that, Jim Creek is a must do. Sites are wide and deep and level, with electricity and water. (Dump is available on the way out.) Bathrooms are handicapped, but the toilet is metal and will take your breath away in cold weather. Each room has a hot and free shower. Also there is a laundry available for a buck. Staff is wonderful, helpful and lots of fun. Small museum tells the story of the base. Kids have lots to do: playgrounds, games, fields, bike rentals. Pets also have runs. Don't have an RV, lots of wonderful tent sites and cabins with wood burning stoves and porch swings are all over the base. Trails to hike. The lake is about 5 miles away, by trail or road. (RVs and Motorcycles are not allowed on the road as it is narrow.) Once your at the lake, kayaks and paddle boats are available. Make sure you know where you are going as there are no signs pointing the way. After the Dead End sign, you will come to the gate which is manned 24 hours a day. It is open all year long. - Desertthorn

Let's see what I can say that is bad about this place. Wi-Fi sucked. It was up and down (mostly down) the entire time. That's pretty much it except hat and there is no place to swim or wade. This is, without a doubt, the cleanest, best maintained military recreation campground I have ever seen or been in. They have RV camping, tent camping, cabins (from no bedrooms on up), and a lodge. There is dog walk areas, hiking trails, and recreational equipment to rent (boats, bikes, etc, etc, etc). Don't come here expecting a night-life. There is almost no cell-phone service and the only TV is off a satellite. Mid-week (when we were there) it is quiet, quiet, quiet. Weekends it can be busy: more-so, if the Sea-Scouts are there. You can check out the new national web-site for the site reservation number. http://get.dodlodging.net/. - wetterwashington

I am an active duty Soldier and while camping at K&M Beach-wood last year we meet a retired Navy guy who highly recommended this campground. It took almost a year but we finally got around to it and we are glad we did. First off make sure and check the campgrounds website for specific criteria as this is a DOD facility and not everyone can enter but if you make the cut I highly recommend this site. The drive to the front gate was a little "scary" as there are no signs whatsoever directing you to this location. It is a site which allows worldwide communication with the Naval Fleet and thus is well advertised. But as you trek down the well maintained 2 lane road it comes to an abrupt halt at the front gate. But no fear, it is manned 24/7 and as we approached the gate opened up. We checked in with the full time armed security who directed us to the MWR (Morale, Welfare, and Recreation) office where I checked in. The front desk staff are just too nice and very professional and helpful. We stayed in site 11. All the RV sites have a large cement pad to park on. But as we found out the pads are not level and slope. No problems. Some leveling pads and we were good. The sites have a type of water hook up I have never seen before. You attach your hose, and pull the lever up and in the process pull down a round bypass switch when then diverts water into the hose. Strange. Well ours was sort of broke and it took some wet sleeves and pair of needle noses to make it work but the camp host was Johnny on the Spot and assisted me and made sure maintenance was made aware. The sites are just perfect with enough trees to provide cover from the rain and spaced apart far enough to ensure privacy. As with all military MWR sites they offer all sorts of outdoor equipment for rent form horse shoes to mountain bikes. Activities were planned throughout the weekend including an ice cream social and hay ride. All the facilities are well maintained. To top it all off, since the site use to have an Officers Club, they have a nice bar in the top of the check in office and serve all sorts of beers and mix drinks at a fraction of what you pay in the civilian world. We didn't take advantage since we had our kiddos but looked to be a very nice gig. The other main draw is Twin Lakes. Following a somewhat narrow, semi-improved, curvy road up and down the mountains, you end up at a picturesque lake. No swimming but small boats are available for rent as well as entire fishing sets and you can buy a license. So much outdoor stuff to do! We will definitely come back again. Highly recommend to get reservations as early as possible. We booked for the Memorial Day weekend about three months prior. A+++ Good job Navy! - Jim in WA

So some of us had ice cream to ease the pain and we hobbled off and managed to hold it together and walk to Larasoannes! Not a pretty walk by a cement works and the road.

Pamplona to Puente la Reina
... surrounding you and the strong wind is a welcome element as your body is hot from the climb. Jens tells me that the previous year when he arrived at this spot it was incredibly cold, so the wind was not so welcome. The metal pilgrims provide a good photo op. The climb down was not easy. Juan had said that many pilgrims have twisted their ankles on the descent because it is quite rocky. I passed through several towns and ended up catching Jens at ...
Bicigrinos on the run ... Day 1
... we chose a more communal style of arrangement. As was the case last night, D is in a hen house (and he's been smiling for hours).
We arrived at our Albergue at 5:55. It was a full day of riding, though for some parts it was 'move' for 2 minutes and rest for 30 seconds. We had one stop for about 20 minutes where I had a coffee and D had icecream. Other than that, it was "slow and steady wins the race".
Buen Camino.
Pamplona to Puente la Reina
... profound things that they had experienced on the Camino. Meanwhile the older lady returned with two bars of soap, and advised that the man upstairs (so to speak), wanted 1euro for each bar of home brand soap. Im pretty sure he (or maybe the older lady) made a profit in the end. How profound. I laced my boots, pretended to be busily looking in every direction but my fellow Pilgrims, and snuck off on my way like a robber in the night, before they could engage me in their conversation ...
Running of the Bulls: Pamplona
... it the tourist icon it is today. We never appreciated how massive the Festival was or that it went for 10 days- that is 10 morning runs, 10 evening bull fights and a whole heap of festivities and people dressed in white and red drinking sangria in between. We were lucky to catch the final moments of it along with a bed. The local passion for the event is huge. Shops are closed, everyone goes on holidays and families attend parades and fireworks spending time together enjoying ...

He Beckons
When I started the year, I decided to take more risks. 2011 was all about getting crazy. For some people, crazy late nights, rock and roll, and dancing on tables, but my sort of crazy is adding a banana to my protein shake. Oh! The! Risk! I'm such a ledge-walker sometimes I scare myself.
One of my goals for this year was to write more. To go out of my way, sit down, and write. I made the commitment (along with my friend Gail) to write everyday for the entire month of January and the process has been much harder than I anticipated. There were nights when I pounded my head on the keyboard because I couldn't find the words, but I'm incredibly proud to say I didn't miss a day. The end of the month is on Sunday and when I complete my writing assignment, I plan to get crazy. Not bananas, but dance on a table. Preferably a low one because I have a tendency to fall.
JD has been extraordinarily supportive through this process and even though there were some late nights involved, he was the force that pushed me through. In addition to offering valuable insight, he snapped photos of the work progression. Most were on a polaroid camera, but he captured this a few nights ago…
It was late and I just got home from a meeting, but I needed to finish my writing assignment. I laid on the floor and wrote until Polo lost his patience and brought me his ball to play. In that moment, we–all three of us–were happy.

Awwrr – I love this shot of you and the pooch. And so refreshing to hear you talk about pushing yourself. I sat on the stairs last night and listed everything I had buzzing in my head that I wanted to achieve this year. I got stressed. The list was long and I wanted to do everything yesterday. Half way though my boyfriend stopped stiring the fetuccine and told me to BREATHE. Take it in small bites he said. I am going to try.
Thank you Jasmine as ever for your honesty, and wit. Love it.

Congrats! Did you have any prompts for your writing, or was it just free writing? And I'd LOVE if someday, if you're taking risks 😉 to share the piece on Confidence that you read in College Station. It was moving. That may have been a challenge 😉

So cute!!! He loves soccer! =) I love that you push yourself, and even if it doesn't always work hard, you share your heart, hard work, successes, and failures. THAT'S why God has brought you to where you are… banana, dancing on tables, and all. =)

I too have been trying this, and it is so hard some days. At these moments of 'what can I write'? I usually think of the high point of my day, even if it was just something as simple as folding ten tons of laundry, and how it made me feel.
Love this picture! Do you mind sharing what type/model of polaroid camera you use? I have been thinking of buying one for my kids for valentines day 🙂

January 28th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
As I look at your picture I see the glaring similarities. The floor looks the same, my house has the same 6 panel doors, we even use the same computer. The difference is– o e is living her dreams, the other is just thinking about it.

My dog Kali does the same thing but she will sit on you, putting all of her 90 pounds directly in your lap. I wouldn't have it any other way! Polo is too cute.
January 28th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Can't wait to read it! I've had an nightmare week and have been filling the short pockets of me time with reading your old blog. I finished it minutes ago and wanted to say thank you for inspiring me and for keeping me going.
January 28th, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Polo, you four-legged bundle of joy, you are the bomb!
January 28th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
hey jasmine! 🙂 love the post and your goal to write more. that, too, is one of my goals for this year. i was inspired by a creative memoir that i just read by julia cameron (martin scorcese's first wife) and she's a writer. it's a very interesting and quick read about not only her life, but creative writing process. just thought i'd share! write on! 🙂
January 28th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
look how tiny that soccer ball is!!!! too cute! 🙂
January 28th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
Our dog, Ella, does that too! She loathes our laptops or cell phones and licks both if we try to type while she's trying to play. She'll load up a pile of toys at our feet until we finally give in. And in that moment, all three of us are happy. 🙂

Great motivation speech. Take a risk on what you love. Started late in life, and pursing my dreams, and hopefully added extra skill I can use.
January 28th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Adorable! One of my goals for this year is to become a better writer. I guess that comes with writing more?
January 28th, 2011 at 8:14 pm
you are an inspiration. not only are you talented but you are gorgeous – and from your writing i know you are gorgeous inside and out. you make me want to strive for the stars. thanks for that.
January 28th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
so does this mean we'll be seeing you at our local bookstores sometime in the future? ;D
January 28th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Your clever use of words makes you a great writer! And Tweeter! aMw
January 28th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
Jasmine, thank you for sharing the beautiful talents God has given you. You are inspiring in many ways.

Hi Jas, I am so proud of you and Gail for making a commitment to writing for a month. I committed to blogging the entire month of December and ended up missing a few days. It is so hard!!! I love writing, but just wish there was more time in my day. Yes, 2011 is ALL ABOUT RISK. I am right there behind you. Just love the picture of you and Mr. Polo. Have a beautiful weekend. xoxo
January 28th, 2011 at 11:15 pm
keep writing! i love your perspective and faith and hope in all. it is sweet and simple and true. Mmmm…are you writing a book?! A pioneer womanish heels to trackor wheels…or heels to heels story?
January 28th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
My goal too! But I'd say you're much further along (and much more motivated!) than I 🙂 I'm going to take this as encouragement though!
January 28th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Thank you for such a sweet comment Jasmine. I really do appreciate it. 🙂
I'm actually learning to write. What a wonderful challenge that I'm sure has helped your ability really excel. I just might have to try it myself.
This photo is by far one of my favorites. It embodies so many end-to-end emotions. Way to go JD. 🙂

That is a good goal. I started the 365 project late last year…and it has been quite difficult to take 1 picture every day…even though i love pictures! It takes extra effort!
PS. The end of the month is on Monday, 31 days this month. 🙂
January 29th, 2011 at 3:15 am
Love 🙂
January 29th, 2011 at 6:51 am
i've tried so many times to write even once a week and i've failed… i think i have at least 6 journals that are half full… good luck!
p.s. don't forget about the 31st this month, that's monday and my birthday! 🙂
January 29th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Congratulations Ms. Star!! I am very proud of you. Holla!
January 30th, 2011 at 12:09 am
This is such a sweet pic!
January 30th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Congrats on accomplishing your goal!! Your doggie is too cute!
January 30th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
thank you for posting all the post you did this month sad that we arnt gonna hear from you everyday.
January 31st, 2011 at 12:06 am
knowing that there is another person that think writing is a hard way, comfort me!
i must to write my first post in my new blog…i want to listen to my heart, but i don't know if that be enough.What do you think about it? Yeah is a hard night also for me!
January 31st, 2011 at 1:54 am
only rule we have about getting a puppy one day : He/she must be as photogenic as polo.
January 31st, 2011 at 7:15 am
My project this year is a 52 Project… I hope it helps me become a better blogger… Here's to hoping.
January 31st, 2011 at 4:00 pm
I LOOOVE that you share that it's not always easy to write. You're basically a superstar, Jasmine. And hearing that you too have difficulty with things like writing gives me such motivation. Your vulnerability inspires all of us!
January 31st, 2011 at 4:19 pm
your happy shows here…so great! And I'm proud of you for writing everyday because my three times a week is tough, can't even imagine every day…xoxo
February 4th, 2011 at 5:35 am
I love this photo. My dogs always keep me company when I'm working away late at night. It stirs me how you are so supported by someone you love…I've been lucky in this way too, and it's such a wonderful feeling. I'm so happy for you. 🙂
February 8th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
Super cute photo
February 8th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
I live in the midwest, and we have been snowed in the last couple of days.
In all of the extra time that I suddenly found on my hands I came across your blog.
And I don't mean to come across as creepy, or stalkerish, but I sat down and read all of your post in 1.5 days. Yes, I was bored, but you also have an amazing gift.
Your words and pictures draw me in, and make me feel different emotions.
Also, I now want a super elaborate wedding now, thanks for that 🙂

Well, I see this is a problem everywhere.... At the nature center, we
made up maps to go along the popular trails instead of markers that
always disappeared... with a description and info about certain plants.
Self guided tour you might say... Of course no one dropped anything into
the donation box for using these, nor returned them... so cost factors
into that idea for this year.
Now thinking of doing plant ids and info sheet that would only be for a
certain area. (to keep printing costs down, a sheet rather than a book)
Has anyone ever uses a pvc pipe piece with covers ( to keep the wet out)
and placed info in them for people to take? I suppose they would not put
the covers back on either :(
