MADISON, Wis. – After watching a comfortable fourth-quarter lead melt away in a matter of minutes, No. 12 Wisconsin needed a big defensive play from Ethan Hemer to fend off FCS school Northern Iowa on Saturday.
The redshirt junior defensive lineman batted down a pass by Panthers quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen on fourth-and-1 in Wisconsin territory, allowing the Badgers to escape with a 26-21 victory over the Panthers – who showed why they're regarded as one of the top teams in Division I's second tier.
Badgers coach Bret Bielema figured his team might learn more from a close call than a big blowout to start the season.
You've got to touch a hot stove once, Bielema said. Once you get burned, you're not going to do it again. And hopefully our guys learn, hey, you've got to put people away when we can.
Montee Ball rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown for the Badgers, while new starting quarterback Danny O'Brien completed 19 of 23 passes for 219 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Jared Abbrederis in his debut.
I believe we didn't make the statement that we wanted to, Ball said. But I believe this was a great learning experience for us all, because we believe that the mentality (we had) toward the game, we weren't attacking the defense like we should have. But it's a lot easier to correct your mistakes after a win than a loss.
Kollmorgen threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns.
It was another huge effort against superior competition for the Panthers, who had one-point losses at Iowa in 2009 and at Iowa State last season. Northern Iowa beat Iowa State in 2007.
Without the batted ball, we might still be playing, Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley said. A guy got a hand up, so credit him.
No. 17 NEBRASKA 49, SOUTHERN MISS. 20: In Lincoln, Neb., Taylor Martinez threw for a career-high 354 yards and matched his high with five touchdown passes to lead the Huskers.
Nebraska won its nation-leading 27th straight opener.
Nebraska played the last three quarters without Rex Burkhead. The 1,300-yard rusher last season went out with a sprained ligament in his left knee after opening the scoring with a career-long 57-yard run.
NORTHWESTERN 42, SYRACUSE 41: In Syracuse, N.Y., backup quarterback Trevor Siemian hit Demetrius Fields for a 9-yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds left, and the Wildcats held.
Siemian, subbing for starter Kain Colter, drove the Wildcats 75 yards in 10 plays, taking advantage of a critical personal foul against Syracuse defender Keon Lyn for a late hit out of bounds on the previous play.
The decisive score in the sweltering Carrier Dome came after Ryan Nassib had engineered a stunning comeback for the Orange, throwing for four second-half touchdowns. Nassib finished 44 of 65 for 470 yards.
ILLINOIS 24, WESTERN MICHIGAN 7: In Champaign, Ill., with quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase injured, Ashante Williams returned an interception 60 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown to help the Illini hang on.
The Illini opened up a 17-0 lead but their offense stalled when Scheelhaase left the game with an ankle injury late in the third quarter.
IOWA 18, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 17: In Chicago, Damon Bullock ran for 150 yards and scored on a late 23-yard touchdown run to lead the Hawkeyes.
The Hawkeyes were down 17-12 when Bullock ran untouched around the left end to put them ahead by one. That happened after Iowa downed a punt at the Huskies' 1.
Rather than take a safety, Northern Illinois punted. Iowa took over on the 24, and Bullock ran it in on third down. The two-point conversation failed, but the Iowa defense held.

California DSM: A Pyrrhic Victory for Energy Efficiency?
suddenly occurred; they have existed for years, particularly during the DSM Collaborative era. Between 1990 and 1994, Californians paid $28.2 billion more for electricity than if they had bought the same quantity at the average U.S. rate, a $912 per-capita surcharge.6 Given California's relative abundance of low-cost hydropower (including hydro-by-wire imports from the Pacific Northwest), and natural gas, as the swing fuel for electric generation), the hypothetical competitive rate would have been at or below the national average. In any case, a huge overpayment has occurred, with real wealth effects and negative usage impacts.
Uneconomic programs. California has systematically implemented uneconomic DSM programs. Its $3-billion ratepayer-subsidized DSM investment has been predicated on a Total Resource Cost test (TRC) that has understated costs and overstated benefits. Measurement and evaluation costs, which sum to as much as 10 percent of total DSM costs, have not been allocated among specific programs. "Market barrier costs" (also called "hidden participant costs") such as imperfect information, financial constraints, uncertainty, and inconvenience have been assumed away in the TRC as well. The negative rate effect on consumers from lost demand from DSM-related rate increases ("long-run rate impacts") is ignored, as are any "takeback effects" (consumers responding to DSM bill savings with higher energy use). Quality losses from DSM substitutions are also not considered.7 The raft of DSM programs that met the TRC (em but that would not have passed a corrected Customer Value Test (CVT) (em represent uneconomic overconservation.
Another cost escapes even the CVT (em the higher rates for natural gas that flow from a chronically underutilized gas infrastructure. California's electric DSM
programs have cut demand for gas for electric generation, bunching fixed gas costs over fewer units. The lost revenue for gas ratepayers of the displaced load is over 40›/MMBtu, judging from the transportation rate and
incremental cost of Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas).8 This fuel displacement clearly represents a substantial cost that should figure into any DSM cost/benefit analysis.
Appliance and building codes. Two decades of state and federal appliance standards and building codes have forced energy conservation. The energy crises prompted these rules. Today, as surplus replaces energy shortages, these standards have tightened. Prospective standards from the Department of Energy would be stricter still.
Advocacy groups. Multimillion-dollar, private-sector philanthropic efforts have promoted energy efficiency for its own sake. These efforts, ranging from private foundation grants for energy conservation to public service advertise-ments to "use energy wisely," have reduced energy usage. This not-for-profit effort for the "public good" assumes that public and other private efforts have fallen short of internalizing the externalities of fossil-fuel usage.
Exposed to Markets
If the California market has "overachieved" with energy conservation, and the large and growing discrepancy between marginal costs and rates suggest that it has, a move to market-driven competition can be expected to sharply curtail energy efficiency activities, at least in the short run. This move will uncover excess capacity throughout the DSM infrastructure, as prior deregulation revealed in the airline, trucking, railroad, petroleum, and natural gas industries. This truth is what the proponents of ratepayer-subsidized DSM

|Founders Month of Service
Phi Kappa Tau's national service initiative—Founders Month of Service—was voted on and approved by the National Council in October 2008. In alignment with the service strategic imperative of the strategic plan, the Fraternity participates in service events each March to honor its Founders. The initiative surrounds Phi Kappa Tau's Founders Day (March 17).
The Fraternity's founders' principles of democracy, integrity, equality and brotherhood are just as important to Phi Kappa Tau today as they were more than 100 years ago. During the Founders Month of Service, brothers can better understand and live these principles when they commit themselves to their communities.

If you've ever woken up to a fox calling in the night it will probably have been during the winter: this is the time when foxes are most vocal.
Researchers have reported around 20 different sounds made by foxes (including eight distinct cub calls), and most of these occur commonly between December and February. Foxes are establishing breeding territories in the winter as they need to attract and keep mates and defend their patch against potential intruders.Tracking Brighton's urban fox population
This is not conjecture – scientists have recorded a higher frequency of aggressive (e.g. screams, yell-whines) and contact (e.g. 'ratchet') calls in winter than in other seasons – and the specific frequency and volume of these noises mean that their purpose is most likely to relate to threat and/or pair bonding.
One reason for doing fox research is to tease apart fact from fiction, for example regarding foxes attacking or spreading disease to their children or pets. In our study we compare overlap between domestic cat and fox territories (in order to explore opportunities for disease transmission), and record mange, ticks and fleas on foxes when we trap them.
We hope to extend this to other parasites in the near future– in particular the canine and feline lungworms and heartworms, which are thought to be increasing. However information is lacking as to the risk of foxes passing them on to pets and people. What we do know is that the two canine species that are widespread in UK fox populations – 'French heartworm' and 'Fox lungworm' don't infect humans.
Genetic and veterinary studies show that transmission occurs between foxes and dogs (and potentially between each of these and cats) causing persistent coughing, but infection is not known to be fatal. Neither are these parasites passed on directly - they need a vector in order to spread, and this is usually slugs, snails or mosquitos.
As to whether young children are safe in urban gardens – well, foxes are wild carnivores, and as such must be treated with caution. However, in my opinion the chances of foxes attacking babies or children outside are extraordinarily low. Common sense should prevail: don't hand-feed or attract them into your house, but there is no need to be afraid of them.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
Could foxes be responsible for the transfer of Alabama Rot to dogs??
If the premise is that use of urban habitat is due to spread of learned behavior through migration, I have been aware of urban foxes in Edinburgh for well over 30 years, so maybe it is really simultaneous adaptation to opportunity that is going on. Where I now live, in the county town of Dalkeith south of Edinburgh, foxes in gardens are common, and they use the tops of stone walls (around 5ft high - which they access easily!) as tracks to access the gardens around us. However these foxes are undoubtedly semi-rural.
Glasgow central railway station has a resident Fox, living between p/f 2 & 3, it appears as station closes. :)
If you took an urban fox and relocated it to the countryside what would happen. I live in a hamlet outside of Faversham kent and have encountered only a few foxes on my countryside walks with my two dogs whereas when I stay with my son in Greenwich s.e London they are everywhere and bask openly in his garden. I often wonder if we picked some of the up and relocated them to the kent countryside (which is totally rife with rabbits) would they be happier?
You mention that foxes have about 20 different sounds and I wondered if you had heard the song "What does the fox say" . You probably have but if not, Google this name and look at the YouTube video Ylvis-The Fox. It is a bit of fun but my daughter (a vet) says that foxes actually do "say" these things.

Plug and play datacenters with virtualization and appliances
Appliance computing looks like a good fit for the virtualized datacenter
David Chernicoff looks at technologies that impact data center users and operators, including server consolidation and virtualization, green IT, and the latest hardware advances.
With more than 20 years of published writings about tech, as well as industry stints as everything from a database developer to CTO, David Chernicoff has earned the term "veteran" in the technology world.
Appliance computing looks like a good fit for the virtualized datacenter
The latest System Center VMM beta makes small, but significant advances in automating cloud services deployments.

Hillary Scott's Baby Girl Turns One
Lady Antebellum frontwoman Hillary Scott now has a 1-year-old! Scott's daughter Eisele celebrated her birthday on July 22, kicking off the day by proving that music really runs in her blood.
Lady Antebellum frontwoman Hillary Scott now has a 1-year-old! Scott's daughter Eisele celebrated her birthday on July 22, kicking off the day by proving that music really runs in her blood.
If there's anyone who should love Fourth of July, it's Hillary Scott. The Lady Antebellum singer has had some amazing experiences on America's birthday, including her own engagement!
'American Idol' doesn't always get it right. There are a few very successful, and talented, artists who have gotten the boot before even really getting a chance at the singing competition.
Hillary Scott is a "new" mom in the sense that she gave birth to her first human child, daughter Eisele Kaye, in the summer. However, the Lady Antebellum singer has been a loud and proud dog mom for a while and she loves her fur babies Hobbs and Baker, who are male and female golden doodles. She shared an adorable photo of her girls Eisele and Baker bonding.
Artists like LeAnn Rimes and RaeLynn spoofed other country stars on Halloween 2013. 'The Voice' singer took a playful jab at Blake Shelton circa 2002, while Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian dressed as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers circa 1983. The most adorable costume pictures, of course, came from the new parents. Hillary Scott, Jennifer Nettles and Chely Wright all shared photos of their tots on Thursday.
Hillary Scott's baby is now three months old, and in addition to sharing an adorable first picture with fans, the Lady Antebellum frontwoman is doing interviews and talking about her mommy experience. "She's a great sleeper," Scott reveals. Eisele also loves doing something else important to her musical family.
Lady Antebellum stopped by the comedic headquarters of 'Ellen' on Tuesday (May 7) to perform their hit 'Downtown' from their already successful fourth album, 'Golden.' They also sat down with the comedian, prompting some entertaining conversations and hilarious comments. Turns out DeGeneres had some surprises up her sleeve, as she threw the beautiful and very pregnant Hillary Scott an impromptu baby shower.
Chivalry is not dead -- at least according to Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott, whose due date is fast approaching. As she got ready for the 2013 ACM Awards over the weekend, Scott told Taste of Country that the guys in the band are taking good care of her while she's pregnant.
Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott has announced she is pregnant, topping off the week with more Nashville baby news. The singer and husband Chris Tyrrell shared the happy news with fans on the trio's Facebook page Friday afternoon. The married on Jan. 7 of this year.
Lady Antebellum dove into the second leg of their Own the Night Tour last night (Jan. 27) in Tulsa, Okla., but before they hit the stage, they took almost 30 minutes to hit the web for a Q&A session with fans. According to Country Weekly, one tidbit gleaned from the chat pertains to the color of Hillary Scott's coiffure. And, no, in case you were wondering, the brunette says you won't see her sporting her former blond locks again.
Hillary Scott's weekend wedding to longtime boyfriend Chris Tyrrell was a surprise to most of us — perhaps even her Lady Antebellum bandmates. According to OK!, a rep for the trio says that neither Charles Kelley nor Dave Haywood were in attendance for Saturday's New York nuptials.
Lady Antebellum made a big reveal in a video announcement to their fans on Sunday: Hillary Scott and Chris Tyrrell are officially married! The couple wed on Saturday (Jan. 7) in New York. Now that's what we call a surprise ceremony.

Hey everyone,
This may be a noob question but here we go...
I've just started on whey protein shakes to get my muscle back after a period of illness last year and a break from lifting. I got to seeing some improvements on definition before I had to stop.
Started again two weeks ago and seem to have some size improvements already but my question is if I stop the shakes and can't get the protein via dietary means will I loose the muscle or so long as I keep lifting i'll maintain it?
i'm doing the 5x5 program on compound lifts.

As we suspected, spending large chunks of time in front of the television has a detrimental mental effect on all children except white males, a new university research states.
Indiana University found that TV watching alters and lowers a child's self esteem. Black boys and white girls have a tendency to feel worse about themselves in the aftermath of viewing certain types of programming. Conversely, the same amount of TV viewing actually increases self esteem for white boys, the study concludes.
The study's findings were derived from studying 400 black and white preadolescents in the Midwest over the course of one year. Professors Nicole Martins and Kristen Harrison focused on the correlation between total time spent watching TV and self esteem, rather than the impact of certain types of programming. They found watching more TV negatively affected self-esteem for all children, except white males.
"Regardless of what show you're watching, if you're a white male, things in life are pretty good for you," Martins said in a release. "You tend to be in positions of power, you have prestigious occupations, high education, glamorous houses, a beautiful wife, with very little portrayals of how hard you worked to get there."
The study also concluded the following:
Sierra Filucci, the TV and DVD editor at Common Sense Media, says don't throw out the TV with the bath water just yet, not that we ever would. She suggest the following actions to counteract the negativity gushing from the TV set:
"It's about balance, where kids are playing in the real world, doing sports, interacting with their parents and the community," Fliccui said. "Parents are the best resource for kids and they're the ones that can have the biggest effect on kids self esteem."

COLUMBUS, Ga. — The Class AAA softball championship appears to be Oconee County's party, one the other seven teams in the GHSA Elite Eight field are having a difficult time crashing.
The top-ranked Lady Warriors (37-2), a team many believe to be the top squad in the state regardless of classification, added Ringgold to their victims list Friday in the winners-bracket final, 8-1, after rallying to break Heritage's heart Thursday night, 6-5.
Oconee, led by University of Georgia signee Geri Ann Glasco, pounded out 12 hits against Ringgold, including three from Glasco and a two-run homer by Caitlyn Glen. Glasco used her rise ball to perfection in striking out 11 Lady Tigers, the first pitcher since the playoffs began to shut down the torrid Ringgold offense.
Ringgold will play West Laurens in the loser-bracket final this morning at 9:30, with the winner facing Oconee County at 11:30 and needing to win twice to take home the big trophy.
"Oconee is a very good program," Ringgold coach Rachel Hodge said. "I can remember them from years and years ago and they've always been good and they have some high profile players. The big thing is our girls have to play together. We learned some things today and we'll come out hungry tomorrow and be ready to win and get in that championship game against them."
Oconee's two-out, seventh-inning rally to beat Heritage on Thursday may have, according to Generals coach Steve Chattin, lingered into Friday for his team. Though the Generals easily dispatched Cross Creek, 12-5, in a losers-bracket game early Friday, the extra game may have taken a toll in Friday night's 5-1 elimination loss to West Laurens.
Heritage had defeated West Laurens 4-0 in Thursday's opener, but Faith Flanders' first-inning three-run homer Friday put the Generals in a hole they could not recover from.
"We gave up too many big hits and we never got the key hit," Chattin said. "We had runners on second and third in the fifth inning and were within one hit of making it a game, but we couldn't get the big hit. They're a good ballclub, and we knew that coming down. We beat them yesterday, but if we play them 10 times it's probably an even split.
"It's an excuse, but after the emotion of last night, mentally and physically, we just weren't as sharp as we needed to be."
In Heritage's win Friday, Savannah Goldsmith and Jesslyn Stockard combined to drive in eight runs, including a three-run Goldsmith homer in the first inning. Stockard, who went 3-for-5, hit a three-run double in the seventh after Cross Creek had cut the lead to 9-5. Brandy Goldsmith also had three hits for Heritage, which later ended its season 31-9.

FOREWORD Highway administrators, engineers, and researchers often face problems for which infor- mation already exists, either in documented form or as undocumented experience and prac- tice. This information may be fragmented, scattered, and unevaluated. As a consequence, full knowledge of what has been learned about a problem may not be brought to bear on its solution. Costly research findings may go unused, valuable experience may be overlooked, and due consideration may not be given to recommended practices for solving or alleviat- ing the problem. There is information on nearly every subject of concern to highway administrators and engi- neers. Much of it derives from research or from the work of practitioners faced with problems in their day-to-day work. To provide a systematic means for assembling and evaluating such useful information and to make it available to the entire highway community, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials--through the mechanism of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program--authorized the Transportation Research Board to undertake a continuing study. This study, NCHRP Project 20-5, "Synthesis of Infor- mation Related to Highway Problems," searches out and synthesizes useful knowledge from all available sources and prepares concise, documented reports on specific topics. Reports from this endeavor constitute an NCHRP report series, Synthesis of Highway Practice. This synthesis series reports on current knowledge and practice, in a compact format, without the detailed directions usually found in handbooks or design manuals. Each report in the series provides a compendium of the best knowledge available on those measures found to be the most successful in resolving specific problems. PREFACE This synthesis reports on the state of the practice in reducing roadside litter as it involves By Donna Vlasak state departments of transportation (DOTs). The report provides information concerning the prevention and removal of roadside litter, unfulfilled needs, knowledge gaps, and under- Senior Program Officer performing activities. It covers enforcement, education, awareness, and engineering meth- Transportation ods for both litter prevention and collection. The synthesis focuses on state DOT personnel Research Board involved in roadside litter prevention and their contractors who conduct litter prevention and removal programs. Also, as roadside litter prevention appears to be a multiple stakeholder activity, policy makers and practitioners from other government agencies and environmental organizations, as well as groups and volunteers may be interested in this synthesis. A 46-question survey was distributed to maintenance personnel in all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and 10 Canadian provinces. A literature search was also undertaken. Together, the North American survey and the literature review provide a comprehensive snapshot of the state of the practice in roadside litter abatement. Four case studies were undertaken highlighting DOT litter prevention programs considered leaders in the field. Gerry J. Forbes, Intus Road Safety Engineering, Milton, Ontario, Canada, collected and synthesized the information and wrote the report. The members of the topic panel are acknowledged on the preceding page. This synthesis is an immediately useful document that records the practices that were acceptable within the limitations of the knowledge available at the time of its preparation. As progress in research and practice continues, new knowledge will be added to that now at hand.

New(ish) Guatemalan Bakery in Dorchester
Hi, I've passed by a place on Freeport Street & Dot Ave (close to DBar) called Panaderia y Reposteria Chapina (Guatemalan Bakery and Desserts) a couple of times. Window signs promise baked goods, snacks / appetizers and desserts. It looks intriguing, but I don't know anything at all about Guatemalan food. Has anyone visited this place? Any general thoughts about tasty traditional Guatemalan chow or suggestions on things to order?
Thanks 'hounds!
I have some students in town from Guatemala & would also like suggestions for where to send them e.g. Eastie, JP, Dot...
I walked by the place the other day. Looks interesting, and there were several people inside. Please go there and report back to us!

re: Chris VR
Wow that food looks good!
Unless they have changed hands, they have been there for at least a year or more. I have gone there a couple of times but not recently. Food was OK but if you are craving Guatemalan food it definitely works.
For more on Guatemalan baked goods than most people would want to know, see one of rw orange's recent posts:
i like the tamales de chipilín (tamales filled with masa and chipilín leaves) and rellenitos (deep fried balls of plantain dough filled with black beans). they also have a whole case full of freshly baked guatemalan breads and sweets
I had a completely reasonable experience there on a whim with a friend. We ordered a bit too much fried food which marred the experience a bit due to the fact that our bellies were heavy halfway through. I wasn't blown away by anything, but the food was generally good and I would give it another chance as I love Latin food. The Spanish soap operas blaring on a plasma screen gave it a feeling of true authenticity.

Egret~World Bird Wednesday~022212
By the way, I did spot a vulture on the top of the mountain Saturday, gliding out by Coyote Canyon, but by the time I was able to grab my camera, it was GONE! Maybe next time...

Egrets are fun to watch and I think there's nothing quite so pretty as a green field with cattle and egrets following along! Great photos.ReplyDelete
Beautiful birds - though this one looks a bit disconsolate.ReplyDelete
Lovely birds. It's always amazing to see them in the desert fields.ReplyDelete
Love the pretty cattle egrets. great shots.ReplyDelete
Beautiful shots of the egrets Cheryl Ann. It looks to me like you have Great Egrets in the top two photos and Snowy Egrets in the bottom two. Note the long, mostly yellow bill and greenish lores of the birds in the first two images. The last two shots of the Snowy Egrets have black bills and yellow lores. The Snowys also have yellow feet!ReplyDelete
Nice series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.ReplyDelete
I like Egrets - such pretty and elegant birds!ReplyDelete
Fantastic captures and I love the Robbie Robertson soundtrack!!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful birds.ReplyDelete
I love egrets! Nice photos...ReplyDelete

Lantau 'wrong choice for CT10'

My hair stylist used this on my hair, and I loved it. Was happy to find it on Overstock for a better price than she paid! It blow dries smooth and quickly. I like that it has heat setting options and speed options. Highly recommend!
Dries quickly and evenly. It's actually quieter and lighter than I expected from the review. Love the long cord. At the beginning I would accidentally click a switch, but within a week I learning to avoid it. The hot hair then cold blast sets the curl nicely. I was tired of wearing out the convenience store models, and I'm glad I've decided to invest in a nice hair dryer :-)
Excellent value for the price. This dryer is small and comfortable to hold. It has cool, warm, and hot settings. The quality is great.
Came on time, works great. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
This is a great hair dryer for think hair. Cuts drying time down significantly. I wish I had purchased this sooner.
Compared to my old conair blow dryer, this is a big improvement in the quality of the blow dry. The only reason it doesn't get an excellent from me is because the temperature button very easily gets moved. I'm fine with it for the value of the product, but it is a time/irritation factor. Other than that, I believe this is a great dryer. Much less frizz!
I've always used less expensive hair dyers. What a difference this product makes! Love it.
Wanted a hair dryer that had power. This one has that power and is fairly quiet
My hair stylist recommended this hair dryer and I'm very happy with it. It is very lightweight, quiet, and has plenty of heat and fan settings.
I have had this for 8 months now, and it works great! It leave my hair nice and smooth when I use it with the black flat thing on the end... sorry i don't know the name of it.

SP Campground Review – Suwanee River State Park, Live Oak, FL
A lovely and quiet forest campground by the Suwanee River on the East corner of the FL Panhandle.
Link to campground here: Suwanee River State Park, FL
Link to map here: Suwanee River State Park, FL
- Site Quality = 4/5
Decent sites here. They are mainly packed earth with full hook-ups (50Amp/sewer/water) and picnic table/fire-pit on fairly level ground. A few concrete pads (disabled access). Forest setting with tree views and plenty of shade. Parking sizes vary, but can fit big-rigs. Decent site separation although a few sites are a tad closer together than we like.
- Facilities = 4/5
Good facilities. Full toilets, showers and laundry. Campground has picnic area, playground, trails and boat access to the very pretty Suwanee River. Several historical markers of interest. On-site laundry (one machine).
- Location = 3.5/5
This is an interesting, albeit a bit of an odd-ball location. You are right on the corner of the FL panhandle in a forested area. Close to several parks (Suwanee, Stephen Foster) and the Suwanee River with opportunities for hiking, kayaking etc. Also easy access off Hwy 10. Not nearly as popular or built-up as the coastal and beach areas of the Panhandle so it's more quiet and less visited. Nearby Live Oak has super-Walmart and shopping.
- Pet Friendliness = 5/5
Very pet friendly. Lots of hiking and trails for pooch to run and enjoy. Poop bags provided on-site.
Overall Rating = 4.1
BONUS ALERT = Re-live the history of the Suwanee River in a FL forest
Summary: We chose this as an easy stopover from Hwy 10 while we were making our way to the Panhandle coast and enjoyed it more than we expected. The campground has basic packed-dirt sites in a forest setting, but also full hookups and very decent facilities. The main bonus of our stay was access to the pretty Suwanee River and several interesting historical markers. Despite mostly grey and chilly weather while we were here we enjoyed exploring the 18 miles of trails and relaxing at the site. This is a far less popular area than the nearby beach/coastal parks on the Panhandle so you've got a good chance to get away from it all here. We'd certainly come back.
Extra Info: Verizon worked. Sites are reservable $22/night with 50Amp/water/sewer. On-site dump and laundry.

CJ back here. Got the atlas out to see where you were…thought on the otherside of the Panhandle. So glad you haven't pass through it yet. If you do venture off I10 on down to 30A on the coast (the most beautiful beaches ever) Topsail State Park is unbelievable and not to mention the community of Seaside with all the white picket houses painted in pastels. I can give you heads up on some good eating! I have to say you have the best RV travel blog out there…I should have submitted you for a "shorty" award!
libertatemamo says:
We're heading down to St. Joseph SP on Friday so will be in the beach shortly. And it's supposed to warm up too..yeah!! Will definitely be checking out hwy 30A and would love recommendations. Thanks so much for the lovely compliment too Nina
Peg White says:
We're in our second week of two at "Blackwater River State Park" in Holt, FL near Milton. Best state park for quiet in the panhandle. Lots of hiking, biking, and gorgeous long leaf pine tree forest to enjoy! Highly recommend it. We spent two weeks in Henderson Beach in Destin before coming here, will spend a week at St Andrews and a few days at Topsail too. This is a return trip to Blackwater and it has not disappointed. Just thought you should consider it.
I enjoy your blog!
libertatemamo says:
Peg, Oh cool!! We're actually booked to stay at Blackwater in a few weeks so very happy to hear it's a nice spot. Excited to go! Nina
Sue Malone says:
I too enjoy your blog so much. Making lists of some of your Florida recommendations, since we seem to appreciate the same kinds of amenities. Water for kayaking, dog friendly, and trails! I also appreciate the 22 fee compared to some of the state parks down in the Keys that were over 40 a night. Whew! I guess that's for the ocean views.
libertatemamo says:
So happy you like the blog! I agree on the price. I have a hard time shelling out the $40 or so for some of the popular parks. We're heading to the beach this weekend but that'll be our only extravagance. Nina
Don says:
Don't be in too much of a hurry to get to Texas. It's going to be 22* tonight and tomorrow night in San Antonio, then 30, etc. Wind is about 25 mph, gusting to 40.
libertatemamo says:
Brrrr..that is scary! We're going to take our time I think. Will probably be there in March sometime but not before. Nina
Peg White says:
Nina, before you come to Blackwater River call and see if they're burning! The rangers have told us they plan a burn very close (in!) the campground area soon. We avoided it this week due to all the rain. They do burns occasionally in the pine forests to allow and generate new growth but it's not pleasant to be around when they do it! Otherwise,this is a lovely place and we love it. Happy travels! Peg
libertatemamo says:
Cheer for the tip, Peg…will do! Nina
smokingbrakes says:
We camped here last week and also enjoyed it more than we expected. The rate was $24/night. We also stayed at Grayton Beach State Park and loved it! Our site backed on to the lake and it was only about half a mile to the white sand beach. Very beautiful and around $25/night.
Thanks for all of the campground reviews! We've definitely used them to help plot our route.
libertatemamo says:
Oh so happy you guys enjoyed this campground! And thanks for the update on the pricing. Always love it when our campground reviews are used. Enjoy your time in FL!

Kenya's central bank is set to make its biggest interest-rate cut on record to protect growth in East Africa's largest economy, driving bond yields to all-time lows.
The Central Bank of Kenya, led by Governor Njuguna Ndung'u, will probably reduce its benchmark lending rate by 2.5 percentage points to 14 percent, according to the median estimate of nine economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The bank's Monetary Policy Committee is due to announce the rate decision in an e-mailed statement after 3 p.m. in Nairobi, the capital.
Policy makers are reversing tack after six interest rate increases last year helped to bolster the shilling and bring the inflation rate down to an 18-month low. Growth in Kenya's $34 billion economy is now coming under pressure as credit demand weakens and Europe's debt crisis curbs tourism and cuts agricultural exports, Kenya's main sources of foreign exchange.
"The central bank is facing pressure to encourage cheaper credit and help the economy," Mutahe Karuoro, the head of money markets at Cooperative Bank of Kenya Ltd., said in a telephone interview from Nairobi. "The cut would see yields go down on government debt, and eventually it makes sense banks would offer lower lending rates."
Kenya's economy expanded 3.5 percent in the first quarter, the slowest pace in two years, and the government forecasts growth of 3.5 percent to 4.5 percent this year, compared with a 4.4 percent expansion in 2011.
Yields Slump
Yields on Kenya's 12.705 percent shilling bond due June 2022 slumped 207 basis points, or 2.07 percentage points, in the past month to a record low of 10.81 percent yesterday. The yield on the 11.855 percent security due May 2017 has dropped 2.16 percentage points to 10.4 percent in the same period.
The central bank boosted the policy rate by 12.25 percentage points to 18 percent last year to halt the shilling's decline after it plunged to a low of 106.75 against the dollar on Oct. 11. Inflation peaked in November at 19.7 percent as the worst regional drought in 60 years pushed up food prices.
Soaring commercial bank lending rates curbed credit growth to 16.4 percent in June from 21.5 percent in the previous month, and boosted defaults. Non-performing loans increased 7 percent to 57.5 billion shillings ($683.7 million) in the first half of the year, according to the central bank.
The shilling has gained 16 percent against the dollar since the beginning of November, while inflation eased to 6.1 percent in August, giving the central bank room to cut interest rates for a second time this year. The forecasts for today's reduction range between 200 basis points and 450 basis points.
'Excess Liquidity'
"The central bank has allowed excess liquidity to build up in the system," Phumelele Mbiyo, head of macroeconomic research for East Africa at CFC Stanbic Bank Ltd. in Nairobi, said in a phone interview yesterday. "If the central bank is looking to stimulate economic activity they will have to cut the rate."
The central bank has reduced the frequency of its monetary policy meetings to six times a year from once every month, adding to expectations of a more aggressive interest-rate cut, Mbiyo said.
Policy makers are under pressure to help make loans more affordable for borrowers and boost economic growth before elections scheduled for March 4, said Ignatius Chicha, head of markets at Citigroup Inc. in Nairobi. In the last election in 2007, two months of ethnic violence left more than 1,100 people dead and uprooted another 350,000.
"There's pressure from the government for rates to come down as an indicator to the market that commercial lending rates should also fall," Chicha said in a phone interview. "There is an election coming up and the government wants to spur economic growth so individuals can feel a benefit."

Comment: Balance of Power? (Score 1) 274
Way back, in The Long, Long Ago, on the Apple ][, there was a game called (I think) Balance of Power. It was actually a pretty good simulation of cold war diplomatic brinksmanship, by which you fought several proxy wars (Afghanistan, for instance) while trying to avoid driving the other side to launching their nukes.
Never worked, of course. You'd get antsy ("They'll never take Belgium!!!", or similar), and you'd get a disappointing "This is the end of the game, but we're not celebrating the fact that you destroyed the world." text screen.
And yes, I get the joke. Hell, I'm pretty sure I saw WarGames in the theater.
