I scored a four pack on a visit to Ohio. It pours a beautiful clear gold, with a nice high white head. The smell of pine, cirtus and pineapple hits your nose as soon as the can opens. The flavors carry over from the scents, with a sweetness on the front end and a slight bitterness on the back. For a beer that shows off it's 9.1 ABV and 103 IBU, this one is smooth and very drinakable. I should have nabbed a case!

Sixpoint Resin is one of the best IPAs available here in Houston. Resin consistency not over bearing, hoppy up front, bitter notes at the back w/ an apricot base feel. So well rounded. Better bought fresh, recommend keeping in the pantry unless ready to drink...then fridge or ice cool and drink immediately. "Best before July 13, 2014" on this can. Still tastes fresh.

Purchased from the packey best by 05092015.
A: cloudy yellow with a thin ring of bubbles, that lacing hangs around forever.
S: Middle roasted malts, spicy resinous pine needles with bitter citrus. Mild peppery yeast and everything just blends well. Very well presented IPA notes.
T: Follows nose. The mild weediness, pine and citrus peek up and stay up. bitter-orangy-grapefruity finish.
M: Semi-creamy, coating well with a smooth, velvety finish. Some signficant bitter notes poke up and subside in the dry, creamy finish. It is a HUGE finish on the dry and bitter side.
O: Give me more of THIS. Between citrus, bitter, dry, and pine....this is a balance on the edge of too much. But it is not.

Poured from a 12oz can (Best By: September 20, 2014) into a Samuel Adams specialty (i.e. short-stemmed and elongated tulip) glass. Not the freshest can, but clearly within the Best By date.
A- Pours a golden orange hue with noticiable sediment floating about. The head reached a full 1-finger of which was white and creamy. The head maintained rather well considering the elevated ABV. (4.0)
S- Although subtle, fleshy tropical fruits (peach, mango, pineapple) dominate the aroma followed by a subdued honey sweetness. No noticable piney traces can be found. (4.0)
T- A typical 1-2-3 punch...sweet malt first followed quickly by juicy tropical fruits (peach, mango, pineapple) and then a substantial grapefruit rind bitterness. Not overtly complex, but fires on all cylinders that is trademark to a DIPA. Well done. (4.5)
M- The mouthfeel is medium with just enough carbonation to move things along the palate. The malt backbone is perfect to support the substantial hop load and makes for an enjoyable experience. (4.5)
O- Although Resin has been in circulation much longer than Sixpoint's Hi-Res, they have very similar traits. They are both solid offerings, but will give a slight nod to Hi-Res...but being that Resin is year-round, I am more than happy to have Resin at my disposal to satiate my hop fix. (4.25)

Canned beer served in a pint glass.
Appearance -
Thick, foamy head which is long lasting. Off-white in colour. Leaves plenty of lacing. Cloudy, honey colour with suspended particles. Slow rising, small bubbles.
Smell -
Sweet, fruity, hops, pine, apricot, peaches. The aromas are strong and hit you in the face on opening.
Taste -
Bitter hops, grapefruit, dried apricots, mandarin, mint, and some caramel sweetness.
Cut grass aftertaste.
Plenty of bitterness and being high IBU, the alcohol notes are present.
Mouthfeel -
Slight prickly pop rocks fizz.
Thick, creamy body, not much froth.
Overall -
Strong aromas and lots of flavour. A thoroughly enjoying beer, and despite it's bitterness, it's refreshing and goes down easily. Plenty about it to enjoy and lots of complexity to enjoy on every sip. Hoppy and in IPA territory, but with more malty sweetness than usual.

Poured from the can into a nonic a clear copper color with a rather thin head that was gone quickly with only a trace of lace left behind.Sticky resinious hops like the name suggests dominates the nose along with some sweet alcohol and a hint of brown sugar.There is a definint hit of hops on the palate but they dont hit hard they seem to roll across the palate wich isn't bad but it's not full on like expected,mild caramel and more assertive alcohol sweetness creeps.The sweetness isn't to big like to many of the style but the hops could pack a little more puch,I love Sixpoint but this I only kinda liked.

Pours a dense light orange with a swiftly rising, mildly off white head. Looks sticky and it is. It leaves tons of lace on the glass and has nice legs too.
Smells like rich caramel with nice hints of citrus. This is hop dominant but the malts really balance it out well. It's dense on the tongue and the hops present well at first, then the malt sweetness finishes it off. The rich creaminess allows it to linger and it has a very nice carbonation level.
I really hope this is a year round brew as I could see this as a go to beer.

A: This beer pour a slightly hazy light copper. The half a finger of long lasting, rocky, white head leaves some lacing on glass.
S: It smelled like I just opened a bag of hops when I cracked open the can; resin is a great name as the strong hops aroma is thick with piney, resinous aromas. There is a moderate citrus, mostly orange and grapefruit, fruity ester along with a light malt sweetness and caramel malt note supporting the hops. There is a hint of the alcohol in there as well.
T: The flavor follows the aroma with a bit hit of resinous and pine hop flavors layered over moderate pineapple and citrus notes. The moderately-low malt support provides a good supporting malt sweetness and light caramel flavors that allow for the high hops bitterness and flavors to shine. The balance is decidedly bitter with a dry finish and a lingering pine flavor and bitter aftertaste.
M: The is a medium-light bodied beer with a moderate carbonation. There is a very low creaminess and a touch of alcohol warmth, but on the whole dangerously smooth.
O: This beer is deserving of the title Resin and is so much better than I had anticipated. I had feared a hop bomb that was going to be the equivalent of chewing on pine needles but this is a balanced, bitter hop bomb I happy enjoy again and again.

I have to say, I have had this a few times.... and was not sure what to make of the first few.... but the more I drink it, The more I crave it... this stuff really grows on you.... at least it did with me.... apperance is a hazy copper tone with a marshmallow like head.... lacing is thick and foamy ...aroma is like that of resin.... (reminds me of high school)taste is of citrus and hops, leaving you quite dry... but yet craving more... Great Job...

3.58/5 rDev -12%
A - Golden amber, hazy, moderate carbonation, just off white head that fades to covering and leaves some sticky lace on the glass.
S - Citrus hops and sweet malt, nice but muted.
T - Lots of citrus and tropical fruit hop flavor, nice malt backbone but it leans a bit too much to caramel malts like all Sixpoint beers tend to do. Works better in this beer than their others I have had.
M - This is a pretty syrupy beer, lots of body here. Even with a decent amount of carbonation and alcohol it leaves a coating with a definite bit of warmth.
O - This is one of Sixpoint's better beers that I have had. All with potential and all with too much caramel malt. The higher alcohol and hop bitterness help balance it out in this beer.

When you long for the comfort of orthotic support but don't want to sacrifice your sense of style, look no further than the Orthaheel Fleur II sandals. The podiatrist-designed midsole of this shoe is equipped with a cupped heel for enhanced balance and strategic foot configuration with every step. On top of that, the orthotic footbed is shock-absorbent and lightweight to avoid the stresses your feet, ankles and knees encounter on a daily basis. If you're a fashionista in need of some orthotic support, look no further than Orthaheel Fleur II toe post sandals.
Orthaheel Fleur II Features:
This is the most wonderful sandal and really has the support that I needed. I wear them everywhere and I always get compliments.
These are very cute sandals! I like the footbed on this shoe better than the other Orthaheels that have that kind of "fake wood"-looking footbed. This footbed doesn't get sweaty like the other one. Runs a little large. I ordered a half size smaller.
Cute thongs with great arch support. The "flower" is such a great addition. Great for running errands and f with all casual clothing. I can wear these all day and my feet feel great at bedtime.
If you are a 1/2 size... order lower size... like I am a nine and 1/2... I got a nine and it is perfect.
These are adorable shoes. Fit perfectly Look great with casual or can dress up. Also give great support! I will never wear another flip flop again I will buy more when they go on sale. Drling!
Most of my shoes are Orthaheels as they help with my plantar fasciitis. My feet feel so much better in them, but many styles simply aren't flattering. These, however, are a treat! Not only do they give my feet (arches) the support they need, but they look great too. I'm also impressed that they don't hurt at the thong between the 1st and 2nd toes, which is true of all the Orthaheels I own.
Great shoe looks cute with casual skirts and capris. My heel pain was noticeably better as soon as I put the shoe on. I've been wearing them constantly since I received them.
Great colors! I got the blue. Would've liked to get in every color! Maybe when they go on sale! super supportive and comfy.

AUG 28 As the controversy surrounding the Office of Group Benefits intensifies, blogger Tom Aswell gives us some background on the current problems. The OGB, which handles health insurance for current and retired state employees, is deep in the red since it was privatized by Jindal, and Aswell gives us the skinny: this great plan was designed by ALEC. The company handling it? Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana - a longtime member of ALEC.
AUG 28 This post on the Morning Joe program's blog runs down Bobby Jindal's recent work to "raise his profile nationally." (Yeah? No kidding.) The best part of the story about the governor who coyly declines to say he's running for president? His long-time consultant who poo-poos the memory of his cringe-worthy response to the 2009 State of the Union by saying you can tell he's doing a good job on the current campaign trail. What campaign trail?
AUG 28 Blogger CB Forgotston has a concept for a new reality show: the wives of the "Dork Dynasty." That's the name that some troopers have given to State Police Commander Mike Edmonson and his inner circle. The ladies CB has picked for his cast are not just housewives, however, and the connections here are pretty interesting.
AUG 28 Blogger Ian McGibboney is writing about the strife in Ferguson in this post, and articulating what many people down south are saying. There's a fairy tale about how there's tons of racism in the South, but it's all hunky dory up North. (Really? Look again.)
AUG 28 Scott Rogers, a television host who had a self-produced weekend morning show on WAFB, died in a shooting at his house, this story on the Baton Rouge television station tells us. He died in his St. Gabriel home, apparently at the hand of his son-in-law, who then turned the gun on himself, the story reports.
AUG 28 If you're one of those LSU football fans who think there is no greater sin than to fail as the school's football coach, this bad luck might make you happy. The son of former LSU Coach Gerry DiNardo was booked on drug and weapon charges, this post on the Picayune tells us.
AUG 28 If you lose in state court to your own constituents, the thing to do is sue the President. Right? Bayou Buzz takes a look at Bobby Jindal's legal "strategy," which basically seems aimed at getting his name in the papers. Hey -- looks like it's working!
AUG 28 Columnist Jeremy Alford takes a look at how the GOP and the Dems are approaching the Senate race in Louisiana. One study predicts a ho-hum outcome from this fall's elections, but in Louisiana the race is a focus for both parties, he says.
AUG 27 Columnist Stephanie Grace is writing about those bosom buddies (not), Bobby Jindal and David Vitter, in this post. On the one hand, the two politicians have so much in common, it's hard to tell them apart, she says. But Vitter has taken pains to distance himself from the governor, she says.
AUG 27 State retirees who get their health coverage through the state can look forward to paying more for premiums, drugs and out of pocket costs, blogger Tom Aswell tells us in this post. The problem is that Bobby Jindal's plan to privatize the system has resulted in a monthly $16 million deficit, Aswell says, so Bobby's trying to price retirees out of the system.
AUG 27 Blogger CB Forgotston is bumping up against shrill in this post, when he's talking about the taxpayer-funded house where State Police Commander Mike Edmonson lives on your dime. For instance, CB's complaining about the "servants," but the story he links to here reports that a convict cleans the house. CB also calls it a "mansion" but it sure looks more like a standard brick suburban house.

"Seven different patients used the home tool for a period of 12 weeks and an average of 15 treatments per patient. Most used the tool every 5 to 6 days. Improvement was equivalent to that which we can achieve with professional microdermabrasion equipment."
PMD Personal Microderm At-Home Microdermabrasion System
If you're tired of being let down by the results of other microdermabrasion products, it's time to learn about PMD Personal Microderm. This system gives you all the benefits of a professional treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own home, revealing youthful skin through the use of aluminum oxide crystals – just like the ones you'd find in a professional system at your dermatologist's office.
While the science behind PMD Personal Microderm has been around for many years, PMD has taken professional dermabrasion techniques and created a system to allow you to receive a quality dermabrasion treatment without the hassle of making an appointment with your dermatologist.
The Personal Microderm System provides the same benefits you might find when you receive an expensive professional treatment, including the fading of age spots, brightening of skin and diminishing of fine lines and wrinkles. Jill, a SkinCareRx customer, says, "If you don't try this, you will never know how great it is! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, and I have only done two treatments."
For the highest level of exfoliation available, step up your dermabrasion treatments with the PMD Replacement Discs in red. "My enlarged pores are minimized, and dark spots disappear," says Theresa, a satisfied SkinCareRx customer.

CNHI News Service
NEWBURY, Mass. — There's yellow police tape at the entrance to the Plum Island Beach on a Monday in mid-March. Behind it a generator is running. A Komatsu front loader and a Caterpillar digger sit nearby. Off to the right, a large backhoe is visible above rooftops crammed onto every possible lot.
What you can't see are 13 houses that have been deemed uninhabitable, including three that have been torn down and three others that eventually will be razed, victims of yet another ocean storm.
About a quarter mile west, a crowd jams the Plum Island Taxpayers and Associates Hall for the monthly meeting of the Merrimack River Beach Alliance. The group coordinates preparedness efforts for Plum Island and neighboring coastal areas here along the Atlantic seaboard north of Boston. Nine television cameras train on residents and property owners, most of them angry, all of them concerned about what's happening to their community in the face of nature's irresistible force.
One of them is Cheryl Jones-Comeau, who had to abandon her house temporarily after this storm, which hit three days earlier. She's had a house on Plum Island for more than 30 years. In the past, islanders have bulldozed up new sand dunes during low tides to protect their houses from flooding and erosion. She wants to do so again, but the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection regulates pushing around sand on the barrier beach.
Comeau's had it with that.
"I'm tired of DEP – they don't want us living there anymore," she says in the meeting. "There are houses that have been here a couple of hundred years. It's too late. We're here. We have to work with what we've done."
People like Comeau who live in places prone to natural disasters know how to prepare, to have rations and a supply of water on hand, to bring patio furniture inside to limit damage from approaching storms. But the last decade has seen super storms like Hurricanes Katrina and Isaac and monster tornadoes like the ones that swept through Alabama and destroyed one-third of Joplin, Mo., in 2011. A major Mid-estern earthquake along the New Madrid fault is expected any moment.
Our preparedness efforts are rooted in 1950s-era Civil Defense. Are we ready?
The question matters even more as the climate changes. Some data suggest the weather is getting worse. For example, wind speeds during storms have picked up over the last few decades, according to MIT scientist Kerry Emanuel. But weather records don't go back far enough for scientists to say conclusively that storms are any worse or more frequent because of climate change.
Regardless, storms today do more damage. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 was the first storm in the United States to cause more than $1 billion in insurance claims. For all of the 1980s, there were $263 billion in insurance claims due to natural disasters. In 2005, Katrina alone caused $46 billion in insurance claims – out of an estimated $81 billion in damage. For the first five years of the 2000s, $420 billion in insurance claims were filed.
Hurricane Sandy was never more than a Category 3 hurricane, albeit the widest hurricane ever recorded. When it slammed into New Jersey and New York in October 2012, it was a mere tropical storm. Yet it's estimated to have caused $50 billion in damage.
The storm that hit Plum Island in March and made Cheryl Jones-Comeau leave her house didn't even do enough damage to qualify for state disaster relief.
Here's why natural disasters are doing more damage: The United States has more than doubled in population since 1950, to 314 million. That growth centers on urban areas, especially along the coasts. Fifty-three percent of Americans now live in the 17 percent of counties sitting on a coast. Development is happening in vulnerable places.
People are more prepared for disasters in the wake of events like 1992's Hurricane Andrew, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, say experts including Arnold M. Howitt, co-director of the program on crisis leadership at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Preparation in America depends on two things: local dedication and regional cooperation. The strength of the relationships between state and local officials helps communities respond when a natural disaster has wiped out the cell phone network and power grid.
But storms are brazen trespassers, sneering Hulk-like at puny human boundaries. So a lot of relationships are needed.
Plum Island's Merrimack River Beach Alliance isn't unique but offers a good model for preparedness. It brings together representatives from three communities, three private citizens groups, state politicians, and at least seven state agencies, plus the Army Corps of Engineers. The National Guard, the Coast Guard and FEMA are not typically at such meetings.
The beach alliance has no formal authority, but given the breadth of its representation, it has clout, and has had some successes. "The level of communication has gone exponentially upwards," says Bruce Tarr, a Massachusetts state senator who is its co-chairman.
Better communication is key for smaller communities, which by themselves don't have the resources to respond effectively to disasters.
Laws have been changed to allow FEMA to bring in personnel and equipment ahead of major storms, which helps speed response, notes Timothy W. Manning, deputy administrator for protection and national preparedness at FEMA. But he says centralized command otherwise does not make response faster.
"The most important thing is being prepared yourself, having your family ready," said Manning.
The United States' start-local approach can lead to scattershot results, as Sandy showed, with some New Jersey communities suffering major damage while neighboring towns with better preparation did better.
That raises the question of whether the country should centralize disaster planning, a la the Netherlands, which responded to the catastrophic North Sea Flood of 1953 with the Delta Works, a massive waterworks project.
Arjen Boin, a governance expert from the Netherlands who holds appointments at Utrecht University and Louisiana State University, scoffs at the idea that the Netherlands works as a model for the vastly larger United States.
"Nobody lives on the coast" in the Netherlands, he says. "Development never got out of hand. Because once they live there, you have to spend all that money protecting them."
In the United States, disaster preparation at the local level vies for resources with roads, playgrounds, schools, senior needs and other issues. In smaller communities, the fire chief or police chief may double as the emergency management official.
A building inspector may not seem as important to the town budget as a teacher or a police officer. But communities that suffer severe damage in a disaster often turn out to be communities that have poor building codes, have lightly enforced existing codes or allowed development in vulnerable areas.
"Cost is an issue for every community," says Louise Comfort, director of the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Disaster Management. She says communities have to balance the risks of storm with the need to respond to them.
Risk is the crucial calculus. Communities can't put a Category 5 hurricane or an EF-5 tornado into the town budget.
Smaller things come into play, too. On Plum Island, the houses now falling into the ocean used to be protected by an offshore sandbar. That sandbar has moved south, exposing these homes to increased erosion effects.
When you build your house on sand – or a barrier beach – you have to know that things might shift.

Fishing the jigs is half the fun. While traditional bottom jigs require little more than bouncing along the bottom, kabura jigging is a game of finesse and style.
Once the jig hits the bottom, start cranking slowly to bring the jig up off the bottom. If a slow retrieve doesn't work, try fast. Try jigging. Try a staccato retrieve. Try different retrieves until something works.
As the jig climbs through the water, the fish sees the bullet head and dancing skirt, and can't help but bite. That's when the second half of the fun begins.
Resist the urge to set the hook on the strike. Instead, crank slowly. The fish will nibble its way up the rubber skirt. This is when the soft rod comes into play. As the fish chews its way up the skirt, the rod bends deeper and deeper. Each bite is transmitted up the braided line, through the rod. When the rod is bowed to the hilt and the fish is tugging on the line, the hook is set: time to claim the prize.
But this is light tackle, and the fight isn't over until the fish hits the deck. A five-pound sea bass will put this gear to the test, and a 10-pound tilefish or 15-pound grouper will wear you out. The rod bucks, line chirps off the reel, and you'll start laughing as you try to keep it up, turning the small reel and holding tight to the rod that is bent double. That's the fun of Lucanus.
Gear Up with Kabura Jigs
The jig, the heart of kabura jigging and the Lucanus system, in various sizes and configurations adapts to a range of conditions and species. The attachment loop on top is placed so the jig hovers horizontally. Another eye on the bottom can be rigged to a sinker or a second jig. While a single jig might not always attract fish as effectively, the single allows you to drop the jig and retrieve much faster. A 2-ounce jig will hit the bottom with light current in less than 50 feet of water. I use a 31⁄2-ounce jig down to 150 feet. From there to more than 50 fathoms, I go with a 51⁄2-ounce model. A 7-ounce model will take the jig past 100 fathoms with light current in the water column.

1 Santa Fe Computer Works
1209 Parkway Drive
When Steve Ewers, owner of Santa Fe Computer Works, looks up from his tools to help a customer, he ignores the charmingly messy hole-in-the-wall decor all around (for some reason, there's a stool standing on one of the counters) and sees only someone with a problem that needs fixing. And judging from the loyal customer base and consistent wins in Best Of Santa Fe, Steve Ewers and his associates are very good at fixing problems.
So good and yet the requirements for working here are so simple: You "just have to like to tinker," Ewers says, although the suspicion lingers that one also has to be damn good at tinkering. This enjoyment of the job "makes 'em enthusiastic," and so, the crew members he calls "the guys" research new developments and products on their own time. The guys' tinkering also has great flexibility; where other, larger outfits can't deconstruct a computer below a certain level, Ewers and his team are willing to dive right down into the motherboard for a fraction of the cost of larger companies.
With results like these, Ewer's modest statement about winning—"for all I know, we only won by one vote"—seems a little unlikely. (Caroline K Gorman)

A long soak in the tub can wreak havoc on your fingertips, transforming your smooth digits into wrinkly eyesores. But this rumply skin may actually serve a purpose, according to a new study. It helps us get a stronger grip on slippery objects, especially those underwater.
Scientists long thought that wrinkly fingers were caused by osmosis-swelling of the outer layer of the skin as water seeped into cells. But experiments conducted in the past few years-as well as observations that water-induced wrinkles don't form on the tips of previously severed but subsequently reattached fingers-suggest that the wrinkles are instead produced by nerves that automatically trigger constriction of the blood vessels beneath the skin, reducing the volume of the tissues there.
Having something under the direct control of a nerve, even an involuntary one, suggests it serves an evolutionary purpose. But that begged the question of what function finger wrinkles have. In 2011, a team of neuroscientists proposed that the folds improved our grip on wet or submerged objects, just as the treads on tires help improve traction. "That seemed like a clever hypothesis that would be easy to test," says Tom Smulders, an evolutionary biologist at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom.
So, he and his colleagues designed an experiment where volunteers picked up 45 submerged objects such as glass marbles and lead fishing weights from a bin one at a time with their right hand, passed them through a postage stamp-sized hole in a barrier to their left hand, and then dropped them through another hole into a box. When test subjects had wrinkly fingertips-induced by soaking their hands in 40°C water for 30 minutes-they completed the task about 12% faster than they had when their fingers hadn't been soaked, the team reports online Monday in Biology Letters. When performing the same task with dry objects, wrinkly fingertips didn't provide a performance advantage.

Naxos is gateway to the island of Sicily's strategically significant northeastern region. From this port city, it is a short transfer to Taormina, resting 820 feet above the sea and overlooking imposing Mount Etna. In the early 20th century, Taormina became a colony for expatriate artists and writers, including D H Lawrence. Highlights of any tour of this city would include the remarkably preserved Roman-style Greek Theater, whose acoustics are still appreciated in performances today; the splendid 15th century Palazzo Corvaia; and the Odeon, a small Imperial Age theater set amidst colorful public gardens.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests.

The ancient city of Taormina is yours to discover during scenic and memorable visits to the Greek Theater, the Palazzo Corvaia and the Odeon.
Depart the pier for the 6-mile drive from the port of Giardini Naxos en route to Taormina. A hilly road will lead to the coach parking area where your guided walking tour will begin. This beautiful and renowned tourist resort is a small, Medieval town perched atop a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. During the tour, you will visit the Greek Theater, known for its stunning location. This Roman-style theater was reconstructed in the 2nd century AD. It is in excellent condition, and has marvelous acoustics that are still appreciated in contemporary performances of classical plays.
From the upper tiers, you can take in spectacular views and photo opportunities of majestic Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano. Other highlights include exterior visits to the splendid, 15th-century Palazzo Corvaia and the Odeon, a small Imperial Age theater featuring public gardens blossoming with flowers and color.
Afterward, some free time will be made available to explore Corso Umberto, Taormina's busy main street. You can visit some of its many shops, or stop for coffee at the old Dominican monastery, now the deluxe Hotel San Domenico. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens filled with exotic foliage. At the appointed time, you will return to the coach for the drive back to the pier.

The Guidrys built their home around the outside.
From where the house sits on the property to the pond and the comfy outdoor living area, Cathy Guidry says the great outdoors were a high priority when it came to home design.
"We built it around knowing we would be out here all the time," she says from the beautifully appointed outdoor living and kitchen area.
The Guidrys enlisted Denise Kartsimas of dk Design, who created a space that's a breath of fresh air. From the comfy couches to the fi re pit, the pool and the lux outdoor kitchen, the outside space Kartsimas designed is as purposeful as any interior.
"This is as important as the inside, or more so," Kartsimas says. "I do as many outdoor spaces as I do indoor, and I take as much care with the outdoor as I do the indoor."
For Kartsimas that means utilizing the growing inventory of weather-proof fabrics. Say adios to stiff or plastic-like varieties.
She says the newest outdoor fabrications are long lasting and good looking: "There are exterior fabrics, lamps, accessories, rugs and drapery. Seven years ago we were using stuff and saying, 'It won't last,' and now we have possibilities almost as vast for this as for inside your house."
Mike Guidry, a veterinarian, loves to cook, and the family includes a son who loves to fi sh in the pond just feet from the back door and a daughter who loves the super-sized couch-like swing. The entire space is versatile enough for the whole family and, thanks to the design, is cool much of the year.
"There's a lot of breeze and open space and a high ceiling," Guidry says. "It's not hot; we were pleasantly surprised."
The colors through the space are all pleasantly defined, and the high ceiling is painted a soft beautiful blue.
"There's no interruption of the sky," says Kartsimas.
And yet, it's all the perfect interruption for everyday life.
AUG 19 Crazy Crawfish gives us a primer here on how the state Department of Education, the Recovery School District, drop-out numbers and graduation rates. It's a long post, but it has a lot of data in it, and a lot of explanations, plus a couple of photoshoped pictures of Paul Pastorek thrown in for fun.
AUG 19 Here's the statement Ray Mouton sent to the Advertiser (at their request) to balance a story quoting the Bishop about why he won't release the name of 15 priests accused of molesting children. Mouton also gives us some background: The paper "ignored" the statement, Mouton says, adding that the paper was acting as a 'publicist' for the bishop, instead of as a newspaper for this community.
AUG 19 If Rick Perry needs support (from someone other than his optometrist, that is) he found it this weekend from Ted Cruz and Bobby Jindal, Time Magazine reports in this post. Bobby said he supports Rick in his fight against "this partisan suit." (Hey, Bobby! Call up your brother the lawyer and ask him the diff between an indictment and a suit. Hint: there's a big one.)
AUG 19 Although his name is not on the ballot, the upcoming Senate rate is an important one for Bobby Jindal, Jeremy Alford writes here on LaPolitics. Nationally, the GOP is looking to him to "deliver" the seat, but lately his endorsements haven't been good luck, Jeremy says, "more like kiss of death."
AUG 19 Blogger CB Forgotston has some more info on the never-ending saga of the so-called Edmonson Amendment. Two legislators, one of whom helped write the thing, have proposed a "legislative solution" for the situation. This is in lieu of a lawsuit to determine the legality of the thing. So, if these guys wrote the bill that they really, really, really don't want a judge looking at, how are they qualified to "fix" it?
AUG 19 This post on Silicon Bayou News is a hoot. The unfortunate author recently attended a New Orleans City Council meeting, and describes it as "theatrical." This particular meeting was about Uber, which is another discussion altogether; the author also gets into that issue.

AUG 19 OK, so this is a story in the Picayune about the state's Tea Party being bent out of shape because David Vitter says he supports Common Core. Blah, blah, blah. You really need to click through and read the last two paragraphs of this story -- because THAT is where the real entertainment is here.

The show, hosted by screaming ginger Gordon Ramsay, requires that applicants fill out a 10-page application and cook a dish that they are required to plate on-set for the audition.
AUG 18 This post by blogger CB Forgotston is pretty appalling. He's telling us of special "services" provided to legislators by State Police, including giving rides and acting as a messenger service. So when you saw that State Police car speeding down the Interstate, it's possible he was just delivering something to a legislator. Great, right?

At the start of last week, Orioles third baseman Manny Machado hadn't even played in a Major League game. By the end of it, however, he had not only made his debut, but Machado had made a big enough splash in his first four games to earn American League Co-Player of the Week honors, alongside Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
Machado made his big league debut last Thursday, notching two hits, including a triple. One night later, Machado recorded his first and second career home runs and four RBIs, in a 7-1 victory over the Royals.
Overall, the 20-year-old corner infielder went 6-for-16 (.375) with three homers and seven RBIs, in just four games last week.
While the honor was a first for Machado, it was the second this season -- and seventh overall -- for Gonzalez. The Red Sox slugger hit .393 (11-for-28) with two home runs and a Major League-leading 14 RBIs.
Gonzalez also led the Majors with seven doubles last week, three of which came in last Wednesday's game against the Rangers, tying a career high for Gonzalez. Along with the three doubles, Gonzalez also scored three runs and drove in three in the 10-9 loss.
Gonzalez is hitting .309 with 13 home runs and 80 RBIs entering play Monday.

The death of a suspect in an armed robbery in Old Saybrook Monday was caused by gunshot wounds following a shooting with state police in Westbrook, state police announced Wednesday.
Twenty-four-old Jonathan Alvarado, whose last known address was in Deep River, died of gunshot wounds, according to the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. A second suspect was injured.
State police and the pair of alleged robbers exchanged gunfire at about 3 p.m. Monday on Route 153 in Westbrook after the suspects' vehicle and a state trooper's vehicle crashed, according to state police. Troopers were assisting Old Saybrook police, who had responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Days Inn on Boston Post Road just before 3 p.m.
In an update Wednesday afternoon, state police said that in the exchange of gunfire between the two suspects and a trooper, the trooper was shot.
State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance identified the trooper who was shot as Detective Scott Wisner, a 21-year veteran officer. Wisner, who is assigned to Troop F in Westbrook, is home recovering from his injuries after being treated on Monday at Middlesex Hospital Shoreline Medical Center in Essex, Vance said.
Sgt. Keith Graham, a 14-year state police veteran who was also at the scene, has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation into the incident, Vance said. Graham discharged his weapon during the exchange of gunfire with the two suspects, Vance said.
The second suspect, whom police have not identified, was also injured and was taken by Life Star helicopter to Hartford Hospital for treatment of serious injuries. Police said he is expected to recover, though the nature of his injuries has not been disclosed. The injured suspect is under 24-hour state police guard as the investigation continues, Vance said.
The investigation is being led by the Office of the State's Attorney, with assistance from the Old Saybrook police and state police Eastern District Major Crime Unit.

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would require National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration funding to focus on improving forecasts of "high impact weather events" like tornadoes and hurricanes "for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy."
You'd think a meteorologist like me would be thrilled at the idea. According to The Washington Post, this is the first major weather-related bill to pass the House since 1992. And it's certainly timely: Tornado season has just begun, and according to the Weather Channel, we might see the biggest outbreak since November 2013.
But the devil, as always, is in the details. If the bill eventually becomes law, it would change weather and climate research for years to come, and not necessarily for the better. While it's necessary to continue making progress on hurricane and tornado forecasts, it should definitely not be at the expense of funding to improve forecasts of lower-profile weather and climate disasters that, in aggregate, kill dozens of times more people per year, and are increasing.
Essentially, the bill, which was approved by a voice vote this week, invests scarce funds in high-profile weather events at the expense of those that cause many more deaths. Boosted by human-caused climate change, heat waves now kill more people in the United States each year than hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning and floods combined, according to the CDC. And weather-related traffic accidents kill 10 times more than heat waves - more than 6,000 people per year.
The proposed legislation, the "Weather Forecasting Improvement Act of 2014" (HR 2413), could have been even worse. The bill was put forth by Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., and later amended by his Democratic colleagues to blunt what initially amounted to a bait-and-switch effort to defund federal climate change activities. In the House-passed version, it's still unclear where the estimated $356 million of tornado and hurricane research money the legislation mandates will come from. Possibly for this reason, Senate prospects for the bill are uncertain.
A rethink of American weather and climate forecasting is sorely needed, don't get me wrong. After Hurricane Sandy, U.S. weather forecasting capabilities were called into serious question when European computer models anticipated the storm's left hook into New Jersey about four days sooner than its U.S. counterparts. This legislation aims to close that long-standing forecast gap by investing in supercomputing power and advanced radar, among other efforts. That's a worthy cause.
But it's counter-productive to be putting more money into tornadoes and hurricanes when it comes at the expense of stopping the real killers.
Unlike heat-related fatalities, whose rate has tripled over the last few decades, deaths from tornadoes are on a long-term decline in the United States. Your chances of dying in a tornado are now less than one in a million, which is one-tenth of what they were than before the advent of weather radar.
The real source of the tornado problem is poverty. Tornadoes disproportionately kill people in flimsy mobile homes, with or without better warnings.
In a given year, New York City experiences more deaths caused by heat (about 15) than Oklahoma does from tornadoes (about five). Why don't we talk about this more? Perhaps because it's hidden. Those who die from heat exposure are often elderly, and do so in their own homes. That means it's hard to calculate just how big of a problem heat is becoming. For example, the huge European heat wave of 2003 killed between 30,000 and 70,000 - no one's quite sure.
When weather-related deaths happen in ones and twos and don't make the front page of the paper, it's easy to underestimate their impact.
Which brings us back to the biggest weather killer in America: your car. As vehicles become more and more automated, they'll soon be able to transmit weather data in real-time to warn the car behind them of slick spots or fog. Turn on your wipers? Chances are it's raining. Did your anti-lock brakes engage? The car behind you should probably start to slow down.
Now, that's where I'd like to see my tax money go.

Comments On Jan 12, 2013:This is my second time buying a wheel/tire kit from Rocky Mountain where I have bought the Duro Mud and Sand tires. They are great for any terrain and hold up well. I ride a Honda 250 three wheeler and I never get stuck in the mud, and they provide great traction for loose terrain such as gravel, dirt trails, and sand. They are also very good in snow, traction is great for the price. Would definitely buy these a 3rd time as long as Rocky Mountain keeps stocking them. Would also recommend them to anyone on a budget (or even if you aren't, they are comparable to the higher end brand names with half the price).

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - Here's a weekly look at five of the SEC's top performers in Week 8 and who to watch in Week 9.
For the first time in his career, McCarron threw for more than 300 yards. It's uncharacteristic given Alabama's game plan for him to throw for that many yards, but it shows what the Tide's game plan really is.
The Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0) doesn't care what anyone does on defense against them. They will take whatever you give them and beat you with it. McCarron has been at or near the top of the SEC in passing efficiency all season, but after a 306-yard, four-touchdown performance, McCarron is now the most efficient passer in the country, and has yet to throw an interception this year.
Any number of players could have been considered the Tide's top performer – T.J. Yeldon rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns and Amari Cooper caught seven balls for 162 yards and two touchdowns – but with McCarron at the helm, some teams may start to consider Alabama's passing game more formidable than its well-known rushing attack.
Alabama's ground game is second in the SEC and 20th in the nation, while its passing game is seventh in the conference and 75th in the nation. The Tide gains 1 yard per game more through the air than on the ground. The numbers favor the ground game, but in reality what the Tide does best is whatever you allow them to do.
If you were to list the top five running backs in the SEC based on their yardage, where would you put Stacy?
If it's anywhere lower than second, you would be wrong. After rushing for 169 yards and a touchdown against Auburn, Stacy is averaging 95 yards a game - second among running backs - more than Mike Gillislee, Marcus Lattimore, Todd Gurley and Eddie Lacy.
Vanderbilt (3-4, 2-3) still has games against Kentucky, Ole Miss and Tennessee, and each has a rushing defense in the bottom six of the conference. So Stacy will have plenty more opportunities to put up big numbers. Quarterback Jordan Rodgers gets most of the attention in Vanderbilt's offense, but it is Stacy who makes it work and who will be most responsible should the Commodores become bowl eligible.
It was against the conference's 12th-ranked defense, but Murray still put up 427 yards and four touchdowns for the Bulldogs in a 29-24 win over Kentucky.
Georgia (6-1, 4-1) is still hurting from its 35-7 loss to South Carolina, but has an important game against Florida this week. Murray hasn't been the focus of the Bulldogs' offense since the emergence of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, but his presence still can't be ignored.
Murray is second in the SEC in passing efficiency, tied for third in passing yards and tied for the conference lead in touchdown passes. Georgia's offense has the potential to be just as explosive as it always was, and Murray is the main reason for that.
Perkins is the only running back in the SEC averaging more than 100 yards a game and he gained 125 yards and a touchdown on the ground in a 45-3 win over Middle Tennessee.
The Bulldogs (7-0, 3-0) haven't played a ranked team yet this season, but have three in consecutive weeks with games against Alabama, Texas A&M and LSU coming up. Perkins hasn't been getting much publicity, likely because of that schedule, but he's as formidable a weapon as there has been this year, and will have to be accounted for in those games.
Only two running backs have more touchdowns than Perkins and the Bulldogs are a dangerous team because of the balance that affords.
LSU is fifth in the conference in rushing offense with more than 200 yards a game, but is one of two SEC teams without an individual rusher in the Top 15 in the conference (Arkansas, which is last in the conference in rushing, is the other). By contrast, three teams – Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M – have two players in the top 15.
Hill had 127 yards and a touchdown against Texas A&M, and is now the Tigers' third-leading rusher with 322 yards. LSU is so deep at running back it isn't known which one will end up with the majority of the carries. The Tigers (7-1, 3-1) are in the middle of a five-game stretch facing ranked teams, but get a much-needed off week before facing Alabama and Mississippi State.
The Tigers' passing game has been a liability since starting the stretch, so the running backs are enjoying a revolving door approach that keeps them all fresh so the Tigers can move the ball. That will be even more important against the Tide in two weeks and the SEC championship game, should LSU qualify for it.
Just how injured is he? We'll find out soon. Lattimore was ineffective, rushing three times for 13 yards last week against Florida. The Gamecocks (6-2, 4-2) play Tennessee this week, whose rushing defense is not as tough as the Gators.
Lattimore leads all SEC running backs with 10 touchdowns and his presence will be important to keep South Carolina from entering a tailspin.
South Carolina has suffered consecutive losses to LSU and Florida, but only have one ranked opponent left in Clemson at the end of the year. The Gamecocks are still in line for a good bowl game – Capitol One or Outback, perhaps? – but without Lattimore healthy and effective, that could change.
Florida will be leaning on its running game as it always does in its effort to wrap up the SEC East division crown. Georgia's rushing defense is 10th in the SEC, so Gillislee, who is averaging more than 90 yards a game, will shoulder most of the load.
It happens every week, but the Gators (7-0, 6-0) will use their dominant rushing attack and wear down the Georgia front seven in the first half and then take advantage in the second half. Jacksonville isn't a true neutral site, so Florida will have plenty of other things going its way in the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party."
With that in mind…
The best way to counter Florida is to turn the tables, doing to them what they've done to everyone else – wear down their defense. No one has been able to run well on Florida all season so it will be a tall order, but with Georgia's talent in the backfield and potentially explosive passing game, it is doable.
The Bulldogs have a lot of weapons, but none more exciting than Gurley. He isn't a bruiser, so the Georgia passing attack will have to loosen up the pressure on its offensive line with the passing game and then bring Gurley – and Keith Marshall – into the game plan to take advantage.
If Georgia's defense can force some turnovers, give the offense a short field and Georgia can take a two- or three-score lead, Florida's offense may not be able to catch up. But the only way to counter the Gators' ball control style is to play a similar type of game and allow the defense a chance to rest while wearing theirs down and keeping their offense off the field.
If you've noticed some qualifying statements in this article that say "among running backs" or something similar, Manziel is the reason why.
He is the SEC's No. 2 passer with 279 yards a game and No. 2 rusher with 100 yards a game. He's tied for the conference lead in rushing touchdowns with 10 and tied for fifth in passing touchdowns with 14, only two behind the leaders.
But Manziel has been ineffective good defenses. He won't have to worry about this week as the Aggies (5-2, 2-2) face Auburn (1-6, 0-5), which has the worst rushing defense in the SEC – 95th nationally – allowing 194 rushing yards per game.
It might be a surprise, but Russell has more passing touchdowns than Manziel. Russell is fifth in the conference in passing and fourth in the SEC in passing touchdowns with 15 – one behind leaders Tyler Bray, Aaron Murray and A.J. McCarron.
The Bulldogs face Alabama this week, against whom yardage and touchdowns will likely be scarce. Alabama leads the SEC in scoring defense, total defense, rushing defense and passing defense, and is first in the nation in those categories as well, except passing defense, where the Tide is second behind Arizona State.
Mississippi State is a similar team to Alabama, and will have to be more like Alabama than Alabama is to win. That starts with the running game, where Mississippi State has the conference's leading rusher, but Russell will have to continue to protect the ball well (he has just one interception) and take what Alabama's defense lets him have.
Alabama has not allowed a 100-yard rusher yet this season (in fact, no one has even come close to that mark) so the passing game will have to be effective to give the Bulldogs a chance. More bad news lurks there as well. The only quarterback to throw for 200 yards against the Tide was Michigan's Denard Robinson in the season opener.
Robinson threw for exactly 200 yards and had one of the two passing touchdowns Alabama has allowed. Florida Atlantic's Graham Wilbert has the other, and both came late in the game when the outcome was already determined.
Neither team turns the ball over much, but both have defenses that are good at forcing turnovers, and that could be the deciding factor.
