![]() It was a little hot at that time, however, to stay longer than about 30 minutes. Also, we were the only ones there at first, so we enjoyed the solitude of the place. We visited at 11am and the trees were still beautiful. Whichever site you choose, I would think that sunrise or sunset would be the best times to visit due to the dramatic photo opportunities, or even sans camera for the dramatic outlines of the trees. And any questions are responded to by being handed a brief pamphlet with a few words in various languages of the site. At the site we visited, the Quiver Tree Forest, you immediately feel bad that you're disturbing the woman running the place because she obviously has better things to do than attend to people who wish to pay to enter her farm. ![]() I understand from the Tripadvisor reviews of the Mesosaurus Fossil Site that you get an entertaining guided tour of their "forest" of 5000 trees. But NAD 55 per person is rather a stiff fee for nothing other than gaining entry. An oxymoron as they are neither trees nor a forest! But it was wonderful nonetheless and we did enjoy the tranquility of the "forest" and the beauty of the trees. The quiver tree forest we saw has 250 trees. I wish I'd known about the Mesosaurus Fossil Site - read its reviews here. But why oh why does the woman running the place have to be so utterly awful? This quiver tree forest was declared a national monument in 1955 and yet it is run by someone who appears to despise tourists. So pay special attention to where you are walking until proper signage is posted here. Not finding the Quivertree Forest entrance gate was frustrating, but getting lost in the Giant's Playground was a more serious issue. Otherwise, there would be better directional signs at both places. It appears to us that the farm owner doesn't really care whether you easily find your way around these two sites or not. ![]() Other campers we followed couldn't find it either. It's not marked and we had to drive around the large camping site searching for it (a fence blocks entrance except at the gate). We had trouble locating the entrance gate to the walking path. It's not really a forest but a dense stand of Quivertrees spread around rock hills. The Quivertree Forest is nice and makes for some great photos against the blue sky. This all might sound funny, but it wasn't not knowing where you are with the temperature 36 C. Our guess is that some jokester removed some of the path signs and they have not been replaced. Luckily, we were able to spot the brown water tower off in the distance and walked in that direction to eventually get back to the parking lot. After 20 long minutes of this wandering, we eventually climbed to the top of a tall rock to try to get some perspective. No one else was there when we visited in the late afternoon so calling out to others was futile. It's easy to walk in the complete wrong direction and not really know where you are. ![]() All you can see are more and more rock piles. The walking path is set below all the rocks so it's impossible to see the horizon to help locate where you are. All the rock constellations, while beautiful, look the same after a while and it's nearly impossible to remember if you passed them before (some seemed staged while others are amazingly authentic). With no signs, we soon became disoriented and didn't know which way to go. While it proceeds in a right-hand circle around the site, it also twists and turns all the time. But after a while the signs stopped and the main path branched off to here and there. It starts out fine with a couple of white arrow signs pointing in the right direction. The danger here is that the circular path through the stones is not well marked. A tall brown water tower stands next to it. There's a parking lot with a nice modern toilet. It's located off a gravel road 5 km north of the Quivertree Forest (same entrance fee). Giant's Playground is a maze of stone piles that seemingly stretches on forever. ![]()

Ford is one of the foremost repairmen in the world when it comes to acoustic instruments, and Johnston is both a historian of Martin guitars, as well as a part-time expert for the “Antiques Roadshow.” For the first twenty years working at Gryphon, Ford apparently couldn’t tell a Fender Stratocaster from a Telecaster, but if someone brought in a Gibson White Lady banjo, he could spot it a mile away. They’re familiar with the history of the instruments and the people, and both are deep wells of living history. Gryphon’s owners, Frank Ford and Richard Johnston, have been in the Bay Area’s folk music community since the 1960s. Five years later, and I walked in Gryphon’s doors wondering what had taken me so long. I said I would and promptly forgot that the place existed.

In an extreme version of the Peter principle, mild-mannered Portland temp Todd Margaret (Cross) is tasked with selling a noxious North Korean energy drink called Thunder Muscle to the UK market by classic executive D-bag Brent Wilts (Will Arnett, master of the classic executive D-bag role). Instead, the new Todd Margaret proves to be something more intriguing: a genuine reboot that aims to take a preexisting property in a new direction of Cross’ own volition, not one imposed by its stars’ conflicting schedules.įor those who need a refresher, the original Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret was a sad-sack, normcore cringe comedy in the vein of The (British) Office that grew steadily more absurd over each of its six-episode runs.

Not sure if it's for you? You can return it within 30 days. ![]() Nodpod's Body weighs 6.5 pounds, and has one super soft microfleece side and one side a cool cotton. They remind me of the lead aprons that dentists put on you while they x-ray your teeth in the best way. I've tried and recommend both NodPod's Body ($88) and Baloo's Daydreamer Lap Blanket ($88) for those moments. Sometimes you don't want an entire blanket, but you still crave that weight. We also recommend the brand's lap blanket below. ★ A mini alternative: Baloo's throw measures 42 by 72 inches, but if you want something a little lighter and smaller, its new Mini Blanket ($149) comes in at 40 by 60 and weighs just 9 pounds. You can get your blanket monogrammed, but you won't be able to return it for any reason if you do.Īvailable in 12 (throw), 15, 20, or 25 pounds We tested the throw, but the company has other sizes and weights. I like the crispy cool feel of its cotton, and Baloo Living has linen duvet covers if you want to avoid washing-though the entire blanket can be machine-washed and dried. It's also good for moving around the house-the Yaasa isn't as easy to transport and store just anywhere because of how thick it is. It's perfect if you share a bed with someone who doesn't like weighted blankets, because it covers just one of you. The 12 pounds feel sufficiently heavy given its small size, and it's not too thick or too hot. If you or a family member has a motor impairment, compression shirts may give you the same result-consider talking to a doctor. Who shouldn't use a weighted blanket? Babies, animals, or anyone who can't physically remove it. So a 12-pound throw might feel more weighty than a 15-pound queen-size blanket. What about the size? The bigger the blanket, generally the less heavy it feels, because the weight is distributed over a larger area. Kids or elderly folks should go with something light-there are a bunch of kid-specific options. Do you like to be tightly cuddled while you sleep? You probably can go with a heavier blanket. As Yaasa's website points out, the 10 percent rule is just a guide. But we often wanted a much heavier blanket. Most companies advise that the weight should be around 10 percent of your body weight for example, if you're 150 pounds, that would be a 15-pound blanket. Opt for an open knit or cool cotton.Ĭhoose your weight. Do you sleep hot? You probably don't want a super-plush blanket. Some health savings accounts can be used to purchase weighted blankets.

We've tested several blankets, robes, and other weighted accessories here are the best. If you have an emotional disorder, there isn't a lot of science-backed research on this, so you should consult your doctor. It's similar to the hug machine, invented by Temple Grandin, that uses pressure to calm those on the autism spectrum who don't like physical touch from others. Weighted blankets use pressure to simulate the feeling of being gently held. But we don't always have someone to squeeze us. It's one of the reasons why we swaddle newborns. ![]() This hormone contributes to our overall well-being and our ability to handle stress. For both things, being smushed under a 20-pound weighted blanket or compressed into a body-sized sock (more on that later) seems to help.

The only thing I didn’t like about my shakes this week is that I have to have them at what feel to me like weird times of the day because of the timed nutrition. This week I mostly stuck to a simple formula: one scoop of Vanilla Shakeology, a half or a full banana (sometimes frozen, sometimes not), a cup of almond milk, and a handful of spinach leaves (even though veggies are not required of this “meal” - again, more in the nutrition section). I love that it takes care of one of my required proteins for the day, and to be honest, it is also delicious and tastes like a treat. I love Shakeology and look forward to having my shake each day. I have tried several flavors, but I have a 30 serving bag of Vanilla Shakeology now, so that’s what I’ve had each day of Week 1. Shakeology: Shakeology is a part of every Beachbody program, and I have already been drinking it for a couple of months. It’s also a good way to get that extra water in each day, since you’ll be drinking each supplement dissolved into 8 ounces of water. The supplements come with measured scoops and only need to be stirred up in some cold water until they dissolve, so they’re very easy to use. The Recover supposedly helps with soreness, and I really wasn’t too sore until after leg day (and on that day, I only had a half scoop of Recover instead of the whole one I’m supposed to have). It’s difficult for me to say how much these supplements are helping, but I was able to get through all of the workouts, so even if it’s a placebo effect, Energize works for me. This week, I faithfully had my Energize 30 minutes before working out (more about that in the nutrition section) and my Recover within 30 or 35 minutes after working out (I like to shower immediately after working out, and boy did I need it this week). My challenge pack includes a 40 serving container of Energize in lemon flavor and a 20 serving container of Recover in chocolate. The cast members also drink a third supplement, Hydrate, during the workouts, but I don’t have that one. ![]() Supplements: The program introduces some new supplement powders that are to be taken before and after the workouts.
