Stretching more than 130 kilometres, Coorong National Park protects a string of saltwater lagoons which are sheltered from the Southern Ocean by the sweeping sand dunes of the Younghusband Peninsula.
A wetland of international significance and important archaeological site, the Coorong is of enormous cultural significance to the Ngarrindjeri people, with ancient mounds of discarded shells revealing archaeological evidence of Aboriginal campsites over thousands of years.
The distinctive landscape is an important breeding area for the Australian pelican and is a refuge for ducks, swans, cormorants, terns, grebes and numerous species of migratory birds.
The park can be explored by the various walking trails, paddling along waterways by kayak, or four-wheel driving along designated tracks and the beach. The diverse number of birds that visit the area also provides ideal birdwatching and photographic opportunities. Scenic campgrounds are located on both sides of the lagoon.
Please note - dogs are only allowed on the ocean beach within the park, provided it remains under your control on a lead.

I am a long time beagle owner; the best dog God put on the Earth.
For the first time, a beagle was named Best in Show at the venerable Westminster Dog Show.
So, what is your favorite breed?

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
I love the GSD, I have had several. I love any dog that can point, flush or retrieve a bird.

All are wonderful, but I must vote for the good old "Heinz 57 Varieties."

German Shepherd also---the best friend I ever had for a rather short 12 years. I'll often question myself if I was the best friend he could ever have. He suffered for almost eight months with deteriorating vision and arthritis (I gave him daily treatments for the eye disease). After an objective opinion from a very good friend of mine, and overcoming my selfishness, I laid him to rest from his pains in November of 2005, and buried him in the back pasture which I had always promised him he would never be found amongst other carcasses of the former pets of the county. I had never premeditated the day nor readied the grave, in the midst of drizzle and a cold winter's eve, I dug the hole for my now 85lb dog which previously went 110lbs at his last visit to the vet in decent health. I owed him that much and more. He loved to play in the snow. He trained well with me and no formal schooling. He was beautiful and more than typical of the breed. The time we went to the barn to feed the horses and he got there first to chase a skunk out of the hay bales, then come running to me for help--I smelled him before he got to me and beat him to the house for him rubbing his nose in the ground every ten feet then I relinquished better than half a case of beer to cure him of the stench. The day I went down to the wood-pile to load some firewood for a friend and he stuck his nose in the brush-pile stirring up a swarm of hornets and he came running to me in spasms while I was wondering what was wrong--then subsequently attacked myself around the facial parts and ears---we won, but we paid for the fight. He loved jumping up in the bed of my 2wd pickup truck---when I got the 4x4, I had to boost him up on the tailgate and into the bed, and there he was king because he knew he was going where I was going and that's where he wanted to be. There will never be an equal for me in the breed although I've thought about another German Shepherd-but know within my heart that I'd only be disappointed. Best dog in the world to me, and his place will never be taken. He was rescued from the pound as he had not sold as a puppy and was in the ugly stages. I've always loved animals and have had alot of pets and still do. Cats, dogs, iguanas, birds, horses, donkeys, etc..... Newest addition to life is a tea-cup chihuahua of 11 weeks. She'll likely outlast me in life, but then again---I'm not the primary love in hers, the little woman is. I'm a better person for it all. Buddy---I still love you and remember you always. You were the best and there will never be another. R.I.P. Buddy.So, what is your favorite breed?
GSD; and here's why:
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ: Buy These Stickers Here
"A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon the world" Albert Camus
I love them all, but my heart belongs to a female pug.
"It does not do to leave a dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."
J. R. R. Tolkien
Boston Terrier, the one I have living with me sold me on the breed. I hope to always have one in my home.
Britney spaniel
Full of energy and fun to play with (and hunt with too )
I have 3 boxers, thay are excellent dogs and absolutely great with kids. Plus they look mean.
I don't have any dogs now but have several favorites. They are as follows (not in any particular order).
German Shepherd
Border Collie (My wife had one years ago. A great companion while my wife was on cancer treatments.)
Belgian Malinios
There are more that I like but these are the main four.
I have my second and third Dalmatian now. Got the first as a pup, 2 & 3 as rescues. The lady that runs the dal rescue met a man with a beagle rescue, and much like the Brady Bunch(Mike and Carol), 80 dogs under one roof. Love my dals, but Aaaaroooo for you!

Four more Nationals were sent packing as Corey Brown, Cole Kimball, Chris Marrero, and Derek Norris were reassigned to minor-league camp today.
Unlike years past, none of these cuts were particularly surprising. Brown, even if he hadn't been hurt, was unlikely to break camp with the big boys without the benefit of a trade or an injury. Syracuse is his most likely destination unless either the injury lingers or Rizzo opts for a more veteran OF in Syracuse and sends Brown to Harrisburg to play every day.
Kimball received a lot of favorable coverage from the beat writers, but the lack of AAA experience (i.e. none), command issues, and similar relievers without options (e.g. Henry Rodriguez) make this a smart move. Now the focus will be on whether he will supplant Adam Carr (possible) as the Chiefs' closer or if the powers that be will decide to use both in both roles and let the production (or Knorr) dictate the usage.
Marrero is arguably the most pleasant spring surprise, and perhaps not even on offense. That's a lot to say for someone that put up a .381/.435/.476 line, but it says more about how much he appears to have improved on defense. He'll be the everyday first baseman at Syracuse.
Last but not least, Derek Norris was reassigned to Harrisburg, a move that whittles the number of players in the major-league camp to 38. Norris appeared in 11 games and batted .200 but also drew four walks for an impressive OBP of .368 and acquitted himself defensively. Norris could very well follow the development path that Espinosa had in 2010 and be in a position next Spring Training to be battling for a spot on the 25-man roster.
6 Responses to "Nats Announce Next Set of Roster Cuts"
Excited for both Norris and Marrero. If Derek gets good instruction behind the plate as he keeps moving up, things should work out great. To me it's never been about the plate production with the bat, but the glove work.
It's a sea-change from prior years, when the Nationals were hard-pressed to find AA level talent, let alone another 24 for the AAA roster. If guys like Norris & Marrero can continue to rake in the minors, & sharpen their defense a bit more, all the better. Carr & Kimball could be a two-headed monster in the bullpen for Syracuse.
I apologize for not being stats savvy, but is anyone concerned with Derek Norris' low batting average? I understand he gets on base, but if they challenge him enough and he can't hit it, then it will all be for not.
Where is Stephen Strausberg starting off this year at?

O'Hare Named Indoor Scholar Athlete of the Year
July 24, 2012
Irving, Texas - Tulsa's Chris O'Hare has been named the Indoor Scholar Athlete of the Year in Division I for the 2012 men's track & field seasons by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The group represents collegiate track & field's best in both athletics and academics. In addition, 431 student-athletes were tapped as USTFCCCA All-Academic honorees, 18 were from Conference USA. This honor marks a first for C-USA Track & Field.
After becoming the school's first national track champion, O'Hare was named the Conference USA Indoor Male Track Athlete of the Year for the second-consecutive season. This honor also marks the fourth consecutive year a Tulsa runner has earned this award. A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, O'Hare won his first national title in the mile at the 2012 NCAA Championships. He broke the facility record with a mark of 4:01.66 and was named a first team USTFCCCA All-American. He also won both the 800 meters and the mile at the Conference USA Championship and he has still yet to lose a race at the league meet in his three years. O'Hare owns the school record in three distances: the 800, 1000 and mile. He also received the C-USA Winter Spirit of Service Award and carried a 3.65 cumulative GPA through the spring semester.
The USTFCCCA Scholar Athlete of the Year Award is determined from among those who earned All-Academic status and placed highest in individual events at the most recent NCAA Championships. Those who earn multiple individual championship titles rank higher in the tie-breaking process, and cumulative GPA is weighed as the final tiebreaker to establish a winner. Separate awards are given to track athletes and field athletes for the indoor and outdoor seasons, resulting in four categories.
In addition to the Scholar Athletes of the Year, the USTFCCCA announced the men's 2012 Division I All-Academic Track & Field team. A total of 431 student-athletes representing 148 institutions compose the group. Tulsa lead the C-USA field with seven named to the All-Academic Team. Following the Golden Hurricane is East Carolina (3), Southern Miss (3) UTEP (3), Houston (1) and Memphis (1).
To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have met either of the following athletic standards: for the indoor season, a student-athlete must have finished the regular season ranked in the national top 96 in an individual event or ranked in the national top 48 (collective listing) in a relay event on the official NCAA POP list provided by TFRRS.org; for the outdoor season, a student-athlete must have participated in any round of the NCAA Division I Championships (including preliminary rounds).

Blimey - somebody spoke too soon @stevek! Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean than the Sharks have broken their 22-0 comeback record in the very next match - 24-0 down tonight and winners again. What a bloody courageous performance. Congrats to them and their new sponsors. A fabulous effort and a fabulous story.
Perhaps you should have waited until full time to comment, stevek.
Poor Sharks. You can't help feeling sorry for them. If they introduced a points start system in the NRL, Cronulla would be given 50
Looks like I'll have to taker that back. The Sharks have gone from easybeats to contenders.
Poor Chooks. You can't help feeling sorry for them. If they introduced a points start system in the NRL, Chooks would be given 50
Sorry SteveK, was that the sound of you eating your own words?
There are some Roosters with a hell of a lot of drinking silver after tonights game.
To Stevek's credit he got in first to give himself the upper cut he deserved!
Yep, I'm happy to eat my words - a mighty comeback. I first posted when the score was 18-0 and I thought the Sharks without Gallen and Carney wouldn't stand a chance. They are no longer stone motherless last on the table.
I'm not a Sharks fan and more than happy to see the Roosters get beaten (how can they have a player roster like that and still be under the salary cap?)

Strategy 2030
- By Peter Gerendasi
- Feb. 18 2010 00:00
The most important news coming out of the Feb. 5 Group of Seven finance ministers' meeting in the remote, far north Canadian city of Iqaluit was dog-sledding and caribou for dinner. This G7 meeting, possibly the last in this format, illustrated the global economic power shift that has accelerated as a result of the worst economic crisis in living memory.
So it's out with the G7 and in with the "Emerging Seven," or E7 — China, India, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey, whose combined gross domestic product may overtake that of the rich nations' club this decade and open up a 30 percent lead by 2030, as PricewaterhouseCoopers forecasts.
China leads the E7 pack, while Russia's 10 percent economic slump in the first half of last year cruelly exposed the economy's overdependence on oil and foreign capital. But swift action to stabilize the banking sector and boost fiscal stimulus averted the worst. This wasn't a rerun of 1998.
Clearly, some companies overreached during the oil boom and, fed with cheap credit, expanded their businesses on a virtual pyramid of debt. But they have learned hard lessons and are cleaning up their balance sheets. Contrary to conventional wisdom, many companies are working to improve transparency and corporate governance to win back the confidence of investors whom they will need to fund future expansion.
Russia's own balance sheet — with a public sector debt of just 7 percent of gross domestic product — has enabled the state to stabilize strategic industries until they can stand on their own two feet. It will also help support consumption until growth once again becomes self-sustaining.
Banks, with combined assets smaller than those of Lehman Brothers when it failed in 2008, are still working through their bad loans but once they do they will have plenty of room to finance future growth. They are a very long way from being "too big to fail."
President Dmitry Medvedev has lamented the challenge of "dragging a primitive, resource-based economy into the future," and implementation of his modernization agenda has indeed been patchy. But to be fair, it's not easy putting up a tent in a roaring gale.
But the strategic priorities are right — diversification, innovation, promoting small business, supporting families and strengthening the country's financial system so that it can provide the investment capital that will enable business to grow and people to realize their potential.
Russia's leaders are actively discussing how to restructure the country's sprawling state corporations without putting at risk jobs in the Soviet-era single-industry towns or unduly exposed legitimately strategic assets.
Privatization needs to be accelerated, as Medvedev stated in a recent Cabinet meeting, but ultimately it's a matter of price. When the stock market recovers toward pre-crisis levels, the state will be in a good position to reduce its strategic holdings in industry and banking.
One area that needs more resolute action is supporting small and medium-sized businesses. While legislation may be reducing petty corruption and official harassment, more needs to be done to encourage budding entrepreneurs. Russia could learn from the success of other emerging markets that have created an environment friendlier to business startups.
What will Russia look like in 2030? Gazing into the crystal ball is always risky, but under the right government policies, the next 20 years should be less turbulent than the last. A growing middle class will gain a vested interest in stability. As prosperity spreads to the regions, it is to be hoped that the ethnic tensions that blight the North Caucasus can be alleviated.
Russia needs to tackle the strategic priorities laid out above. It has every chance by 2030 of overtaking Germany to become the world's sixth-largest economy. Russia will play a key role in the global economic power shift from G7 to E7.
Peter Gerendasi is managing partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers Russia.

Most people associate Indian food with hours of slogging and sweating in the kitchen chopping vegetables, prepping meats and cooking over a hot stove. Quite a few dishes, do meet the above description, however a lot of Indian food is healthy, quick to prep and ready in a couple of minutes. Here is a list of five food items that can be cooked and served in fifteen to twenty minutes. So pull out those aprons, grab a pan get ready to cook.
1. Rice Pulao: Any kind of pulao or pilaf is quick as it requires minimal prepping. In Indian cuisine rice dishes are often entrees and eaten by themselves instead of being side dishes. Rice pulao cooked either with vegetables or meat can be eaten as a full meal. Check out the recipe for rice pulao with cauliflowers at http://www.examiner.com/article/winter-recipe-rice-pulao-with-cauliflowers It can be cooked in a microwave in 17 minutes and in a rice cooker in 25 minutes.
2. Pakoras: Out of ideas for appetizers to go with the evening cocktails? Fry a batch of pakoras or Indian fritters. You can make pakoras out of onion, chilies, zucchini, cauliflowers or even stale bread. Just dip the vegetables or bread in chick pea batter seasoned with salt and some spices and deep fry in canola oil. You can get the recipe for bread pakoras at http://www.examiner.com/article/bread-pakoras-for-a-quick-snack Time for prepping and cooking is 10 minutes.
3. Lemon pepper noodle soup: This recipe is a personal favorite of mine specially during the flu season. All you need to do is put the ingredients like pasta or noodles, chicken broth, lime leaves, pepper, ginger and cilantro in a soup pot and boil for 10 minutes. You can cut down the time by using store bought chicken noodle soup and just boiling with lime leaves, cilantro, ginger and pepper. The recipe is at http://www.examiner.com/article/lemon-pepper-chicken-noodle-soup
4. Easy chicken curry: This recipe has all the goodness of chicken and curry without the hassle. If you prep and marinate the chicken overnight, it cooks in 15 to 20 minutes. There are fewer spices and the heat level can be adjusted to individual preference. Get the recipe at http://www.examiner.com/article/labor-day-recipe-easy-chicken-curry
5. Mango custard: Expecting guests in 30 minutes and out of ideas for dessert? No need to run to the grocery store for a cake. You can make custard with mangoes or any other seasonal fruits in 10 minutes and cool it in the refrigerator before your guests arrive. All you need is about a quart of milk and some custard powder (vanilla or any other flavor). Cook the powder with the milk till it thickens and pour in a container to cool. Garnish with mangoes or other seasonal fruits (avoid citrus fruits) before serving. For details of the recipe look at http://www.examiner.com/article/tango-mango-recipe-for-making-mango-custard

Yesterday, Congressman Mike Kelly (R-PA) made comments on the signing of the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 that was signed by the President on December 26, 2013; after it passed the House on December 12, 2013 with a vote of 350 – 69; pass the Senate on December 19, 2013 with a vote of 85 – 14. The act included his amendment to ban funding for the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
Rep. Kelly introduced H. Con. Res. 23, a bipartisan concurrent resolution that expressed opposition to go treaty on behalf of members of Congress on March 15, 2013. On May 30, 2013 he submitted a bipartisan letter to Pres. Obama and Sec. Kerry urging them to reject the treaty and sent a similar letter after Sec. Kerry signed the treaty on October 15, 2013.
Rep. Kelly continued his efforts by introducing an amendment to prohibit federal funding for the implementation of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty for one year by the Department of Defense on June 14, 2013. After the House and Senate compromised a new updated version to his amendment was passed. And on July 24, 2013 the House Appropriations Committee approved the ban amendment based on language from a bipartisan letter that was submitted by Rep. Kelly.
Congressman Mike Kelly made the following statement yesterday:
"As I and many others have long stated, the ATT is a clear threat to our national sovereignty and the Constitutional rights of all Americans and should never have been signed. I am therefore glad to say that a major victory has been achieved in the fight to make sure this dangerous treaty never affects the United States in any capacity. Earlier this month, the House and Senate acted in a bipartisan manner to affirm my amendment's resistance to the treaty by including it in the NDAA's final passage. Now that the NDAA has been signed by President Obama, the White House has joined Congress in taking a belated stand for American strength and sovereignty by making this crucial amendment the law of the land."

In Derrick's little world, a good day is when a new deposit shows up in my bank account. And thanks to Bank of America's referral program, I just had myself a pretty darn good day.
As you know from my previous article about Wachovia's now-expired referral incentive, "Get free money with bank referral programs," I love bank-hopping.
My roommate banks with Bank of America, and I knew they had a referral program where my roommate and I would both get a $25 reward if I were to open up a new checking account with them. So one day when we weren't doing anything, I suggested that we take a little excursion over to our nearby Austin BOA.
It took about 45 minutes to get the new account created, but I figured it was worth it for free money. Time is money, and any time spent making money is time well spent. It makes me wonder how many people are too lazy to get up and go the banks and open up their own referral accounts. Those people are scoffing at free money, and I judge them.
At the BOA, they told me that if I were to pay three bills with the Online Billpay program, they would also give me a $35 bonus on top of the $25 referral bonus! I guess they figure that, once you've used their billpay program, you'll be more likely to continue banking with them for the long run and they'll make their money back.
I wondered what kind of catch there would be to all of this. Would they charge me a fee for my checking account? But guess what - if you are associated with The University of Texas at Austin - or other various employers - you can get free checking with no minimum balance!
At the bank, the junior assistant told me that I had to meet the bank manager, that she likes to personally meet each new account-holder. And so this well-dressed manager came into the office and introduced herself to me and my roommate. I knew it was all part of the act, the wooing of new customers, the hope that I'll pay overdraft fees or invest my money with them. But for free money, I was more than happy to let them put on their dog-and-pony show.
So I opened my account, and I paid my three online bills, and guess what: a month later I received $60 in total ($25 referral plus $35 online billpay incentive)! It was absolutely thrilling to see my checking - which had previously had $0 in it because of the no-minimum-balance plan I am on - go from nothing to $60. My roommate also got her $25 reward, so the total became $85 of free money just for getting acquainted with their bank.
And it doesn't end there. Now that I'm an account-holder of BOA, I can refer my own friends and we'd both get more $25 rewards!
I'm sure I'm not the only Austinite who recently got a mailer from Chase Bank, offering a $100 bonus reward to anyone who opens a new account at their bank. There will be many who ignore thismailer. And I will not be one of them. At a first glance, Chase Bank's referral program seems more complicated than Wachovia or Bank of America's programs. Maybe they'll want me to have a minimum balance in my checking account system; oh, well, I can deposit $60! And then that $60 can become $160, and so on and so on....
So yes, I'm in the bank-hopping business. And baby, business is booming.

The Christmas Song
Anita Baker (vocals)
Jazz to the World (Blue Note CDP 72438 32127 2 9)
Anita Baker (vocals),
unidentified musicians.
Composed by Mel Tormé & Robert Wells.
Recorded: New York, December 1994
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
This Anita Baker performance appears on the wonderful Jazz to the World CD, which was put together in 1994 to aid the Special Olympics. I highly recommend it. There are a few tunes that more than border on Smooth Jazz. (Excuse me while I burp up my eggnog.) But, it is a Christmas record. Even I can't be a humbug on this one.
Baker's rendition of "The Christmas Song" was recorded live in December 1994 at President Bill Clinton's Christmas Concert in New York City. That explains why the applause wasn't as gracious as it should have been. There weren't a lot of knowledgeable music fans in that crowd. That's not a political statement, just a comment on all the freebies that must have been handed out.
Though Baker has dabbled on the jazz outskirts from time to time, she has never fully jumped in, which is too bad. I know she has sold millions of records with her R&B soul. But it would have been nice if the jazz community could claim her as one of its own. She has a beautiful instrument that never fails to captivate. Her performance in front of a big band on this night was no exception. The woman has it all down. She has beautiful enunciation and mesmerizing phrasing. And most important, Baker conveys messages. She is so good on "The Christmas Song" that you could listen to this wonderful interpretation on July 4th and still think it was Christmas.

I love cyclamen.
It all started a couple years ago when my girlfriend brought me a small tuber from the garden she was working at. It was September at the time and the plant was in full bloom. Just a large mushroom looking thing, with little pink flowers limply hanging off. Soon after being planted, the cyclamen perked up and put on a show that carried on right until first frost. From there the flowers faded and the leaves emerged. While initially it was the florescent blooms that attracted me to this plant, it's leaves are equally as alluring. These highly ornamental leaves hold on right until the weather starts getting warm at which point the plant goes dormant and awaits cooler weather.
They're truly a pleasure to grow and if you have more then one variety in the garden you'll likely see some hybrids appear. Seedlings are slow to start but spread they will. I've had them in my garden for nearly 5 years now and I'm just starting to accumulate a population . Ants and birds distribute the seed throughout the garden and seedlings appear in the strangest places. There seems to be a great deal of variability in their leaf design and flower color, each with their own personality and uniqueness. For those of you wanting to share cyclamen with your friends, look towards your oldest plants and take a peak under the leaves in early springtime. While creatures may distribute much of the seed, the majority end up self sowing right at the base of the plant. With a still hand you can gently prick these seedlings away from their mother and pot them on elsewhere. Using this method I was able to collect over 100 seedlings this spring with great success.
Little cyclamen seedlings
While I mostly grow Cyclamen hederifolium (the hardiest) there are over 20 species to try; most native to the Mediterranean region. The more I study these plants the more ingenious they appear. Cyclamen thrive at a time of year when most plants are winding down. As the trees loose their leaves, the cyclamen flush out and capitalize on the newly available light. As summer rolls around and water demands are more dire, cyclamen close up shop and rest until things are more favorable. They are survivors and they owe it all to the strange tuber like storage organ they've adapted to survive when times are unfavorable.
This brings me to the reason why I'm talking about cyclamen today, their tubers. On Sunday I was toiling about in the garden in my usual fashion when I went to re-pot a newly acquired cyclamen that wasn't doing so well. When I took it out of the pot it fell clean. It appears that it wasn't growing poorly but actually going dormant for the summer season. Until now I've never really taken a good look at these tubers in their entirety and upon closer speculation I was blown away. As if this plant wasn't cool enough, even their unseen tuber hide a secret beauty.
You can find art in the strangest places.
Ok let's break down to some serious plant geekage here. Not all will be able to appreciate this argument but for those who do. Kudos.
Are Sanguinaria & Jeffersonia related to each-other?
Last year having noticed two spring ephemerals emerge & flower at the same time I combined them into the same pot for further research. Watching these two pop up this spring it's remarkable how similar they are in habit, growth and flowering. The nomenclature has them listed as different genus's but are they actually the same?
Jeffersonia diphylla emerging March 10th
Sanguinaria canadensis emerging March 10th
Let's look at the facts. (care of wikipedia) for the proper breakdown of the family bloodline.
Admittedly once their leaves mature they're distinctly different, but the new shoots & flowers are so similar I don't know what to make of it. I'm not exactly a scientist but there has to be something to these distinct similarities. It's like looking at brothers in a family portrait.
When you see the buds of these plants emerge be sure to pay attention as they last little more than a couple days. As if sitting there only by good grace, a single raindrop or brush of your hand and off come the petals, blinked and missed until next year.
What do you think?

In this week's edition of Coaches Corner, Championship Productions' editor Adam Warner sits down with Tufts head men's lacrosse coach Mike Daly. Last season, Daly led the Jumbos to a 2010 NCAA Division III national championship with a 9-6 win over perennial power Salisbury, notching the first-ever title for his lacrosse program. In Coaches Corner, Daly reveals his coaching philosophy and plans for defending his team's national title, talks about the perks of being a Div. III coach, and even details how he got into lacrosse after growing up playing football and baseball.
Talk about your background and your unorthodox path to becoming the head men's lacrosse coach at Tufts in 1998.
"I went to Tufts as an undergrad and then got into graduate school here. As a graduate student, I also worked as an assistant football and lacrosse coach. The lacrosse program was struggling at that point. Our coach at the time left to take a football job and the position was assigned to me roughly a month before the season started. From there, I never looked back.
I played football and baseball growing up, but not lacrosse. I was a sociology major at Tufts as an undergrad and left with a masters degree in education and teaching. Growing up, lacrosse didn't have the presence in Massachusetts that it does today, but I always had an interest. My friends played in high school, so there was always a stick around. It was during my grad school years where I really fell in love with the game."
Your team is now one season removed from winning a national title. What's the key to maintaining focus this year in order to defend your '10 championship?
"The biggest key is to remember what got us here and really keep focused on the fundamentals. Right now we're 6-0 overall and still No. 1 in the country, so I think the guys are grounded and focused on the ultimate goal this season."
What's the key to maintaining success year after year?
"We have some great players and great guys who work extremely hard at their lacrosse and academic lives. They just make it a joy to be around them and coach and be associated with them. We're lucky to have great people in the program, including the assistant coaches and a supportive administration. At the end of the day, we have some terrific players who work their tails off and make plays on the lacrosse field."
What makes up the complete Tufts player?
"We build our program on the players the world didn't think were talented enough, but will still outwork all of their teammates and opponents. That's the best part of Division III athletics, and the best complement you can give a player is to say they are an overachiever. We have a lot of guys like that. They will just flat outwork you."
Who are your influences as a coach? Do you have a certain credo or philosophy that you particularly implement with your program?
"Early on, we really tried to emulate Billy Tierney and Princeton lacrosse. He took a similar situation to ours and got Princeton from the bottom to the top and eventually competing for national titles. We studied Princeton film and practices and I even talked to Bill himself. In those early years, whatever questions we had, he would take the time to answer them. He's had a great impact on me."
What's unique about Div. III lacrosse and coaching at this level?
"We feel that we have a lot of players from top programs in the country. We are glad to have lacrosse junkies who love to play the game. They are great in the classroom and on the field, and their priorities are in the right place. Plus, they are really able to enjoy the college and lacrosse experience."
Can you talk about one of your all-time favorite drills to run as a coach?
"My favorite drill is mechanics progression, which deals with your elbows, shoulders and hands and really focuses on the fundamentals of the game. If you can't catch and throw, you can't do anything in this game. There's nothing more important than that. It may be mundane to our players, but it's absolutely the cornerstone of our program."
Do you have any superstitions or particular habits as a coach?
"I wear my pink breast cancer T-shirt on every gameday. I lost my mother minutes before a Skidmore game that we won in overtime a few seasons ago, and the game involved an amazing comeback by our team. I've always held onto that as a superstition. Also, for every national anthem, I find our head trainer Mark Doughtie and just make eye contact with him. Mark is a Vietnam veteran and what he sacrificed means the world to me. It reminds me that whatever's about to happen out on the lacrosse field will never be as challenging as what he went through, and it settles me down."
Can you dish out some advice for youth or high school coaches, particularly individuals who may be starting up new teams or looking to build a struggling program into a contender?
"It's all about consistency, being yourself and not being afraid to ask for help. The lacrosse community is like no other – and it's really true. Lacrosse has so many great resources and coaches, just make sure that you reach out and use them."
Mike Daly has recently partnered with Championship Productions to produce a series of lacrosse videos. Check out the entire catalog by clicking here.
Currently in his third season as head coach for the Ohio State men's lacrosse team, Nick Myers is confident that his squad will compete for the 2011 ECAC title and make another postseason push. With Myers at the helm, plus a solid veteran core and a talented youth presence that includes offensive weapons Jeff Tundo and Logan Schuss, it's no surprise to see why the Buckeyes are banking on their fourth NCAA tournament appearance in program history.
In this week's edition of Coaches Corner, Myers sits down with Championship Productions' editor Adam Warner and gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at his Ohio State lacrosse program. The Springfield College graduate also provides an early assessment of the 2011 campaign, and even details how he keeps his team focused over the course of a grueling season.
Your squad is currently 2-0 right now after wins over Mercer and Detroit. Talk about your overall impressions of the team this year and how the season has progressed so far in the early going.
"We're excited. Right now, we have a lot of youthfulness and even have some freshmen stepping into starting roles this year. But we're really happy with the overall leadership of the team. The seniors are taking control and really setting the tone. It's exciting to get into it, and we've got some tough games starting up soon."
Walk me through a typical week of lacrosse practice at Ohio State. Which areas are covered and how exactly are the practices shaped?
"We want to make practices as game-like as possible, so it's about tempo and speed. We are a morning practice team and so we typically go from 7:30 to 9:30. We often start with some film study and playbook review in the locker room. After that, it's dynamic stretching for 5 to 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes of stick-work and shooting. Then, we move to static stretching to round out our warm-up. After that, it's half-field work for the first part of the main core of practice, and then we finish the last 45 minutes with clears, rides and situational stuff. We'll have the guys play between the lines and recreate the tempo that we like to have on the playing field."
How much film study is usually involved?
"There's a lot of film study going on during the preseason and fall. And most of it is film on us. We tape practice every day. It gives us a second evaluation and a variety of teaching points. We'll put together 10 to 15 clips of teaching points for the team — and the guys respond to it. At this time of the year, it's especially important to focus on yourself versus focusing on your opponents. For instance this week, we really emphasized a few areas that we need to clean up as a team, and now we'll stress those out on the practice field this week."
I have a question here from our reader Bobby Garcia, and he asks, "How much of a particular practice is set aside for just discussion."
"There's very little time set aside for discussion in a typical practice. The scoreboard is running and there's very little down time during practice. There may be only 20 or 30 seconds between drills. Questions may be asked by the players from time to time, but we address them at the end of all segments. And we encourage questions. But typically, we are not blocking off practice time for questions and discussions. We really try to create pace and tempo the entire time."
Talk about some of the things the coaching staff is doing behind the scenes on a daily basis during the season.
"On a given week, we are doing a variety of things, like studying film to making sure our players are on the right track. We have a great support staff here at Ohio State, which includes an academic advisor, trainers, tutors, plus strength and conditioning coaches. Also, a big part of the day is just staying on top of all of our recruiting classes. It's a challenge. On a daily basis we are breaking down film and preparing our schedule for the week and it takes up a lot of time."
Talk about your coaching philosophy and how you incorporate the key elements with your team.
"We try to simplify things. We want the guys to feel like they are being invested as people first, and then players second. We are primarily teachers here, so we're here to support them. It's all about life after the degree. We want to create a family atmosphere and that starts with how we treat the players and then moves down to how the seniors treat the underclassmen. This is a big part of the core values that we teach and it translates to how we coach. It's a building block of how we want things to be done here and how we expect them to be done in return. We are about being smart, loose, and together, plus doing the little things right and making the steps towards a championship."
Is there an area of practice that may get overlooked by other coaches around the league that you particularly place an emphasis on with your team?
"We aren't reinventing the wheel here or anything, but we really stress shooting at this time of the year. As a team, we've been over 30 percent shooting-wise for 2 or 3 years in a row. We are a team that will typically generate between 30 and 40 shots a game. We are disciplined. This past Saturday against Mercer, we went 20-for-43 shooting the ball. It's about earning quality shots and getting them on cage and being disciplined there. Outside of that, it's about the little things, the things that make a difference, and we reward that."
Can you recall a drill that you still use today that is effective at any level, whether it be youth or college lacrosse?
"It's hard to pinpoint one, but I like doing some of the simpler drills that break down our overall scheme — like 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 drills that are controlled. By doing these drills, we get to work on dodging, off-ball play, communication, ball movement and even spacing. They allow players to add-lib and be decision-makers on the field, whether it's dodging, sliding or recovering. Plus, it teaches a lot of the fundamentals and basics that are important to work on frequently."
It's no secret that it's one long season, how do you keep the players focused and always working hard?
"It's key that you peak at the right time, so it's important we are playing the best lacrosse come April when we are in the midst of our conference games and playing for an opportunity to reach the postseason. It's a challenge, and we take a hard look at the calendar and structure our practices accordingly. We believe that it isn't necessary to be on the field for 2 hours every day. There's also time for film study, teaching, keeping the legs fresh and staying mentally fresh as well. There are lots of ways to make practices different and a variance of drills we can run, too.
Also, it's key to have great communication with the guys, whether it's regarding academic strains or travel-related things. We have to stay on the pulse of each player. They are 18-to-21-year-olds and they have a voice, too. Hopefully, we will find the right recipe during the season."
Ohio State is off to a solid start but a tough schedule looms with North Carolina, Loyola, and Virginia on the docket. What are the overall team goals this year?
"First, it's to achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.0. Then, it's to lead the athletic department in community service hours. Right now, we are just over 500. As a team, we talk about goals across the board. We talk about a championship mentality as well, and we expect to compete every year for a conference title. We have a very strong conference, which includes Loyola and Denver. Another goal is to get in the postseason for the fourth time in program history and then move on and compete at the highest level for a title. But right now, we are just focused on being a better team than yesterday."

Canada PM to Address U.K. Lawmakers Next Month
By Paul Vieira
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper faces controversy at home over allegations his office may have interfered in an independent probe of Canadian senators' expense claims. But U.K. lawmakers have decided to welcome Mr. Harper next month and bestow one of their highest honors upon him.
Via Twitter, Mr. Harper said Wednesday he has accepted an invitation to deliver remarks before both houses of the U.K. Parliament on June 13, or four days before he gathers with his Group of Seven peers for a summit in Northern Ireland.
I am honoured to have been invited to deliver an address to the British Parliament on June 13. @number10gov #cdnpoli
— Stephen Harper (@pmharper) May 22, 2013
The U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirmed the invitation.
Mr. Harper, a Conservative much like U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, will become the first Canadian leader to address British lawmakers in nearly 70 years, when Mackenzie King, Canada's longest-serving prime minister, delivered remarks at Westminster in May 1944, at the tail end of the Second World War.
During his time in power, Mr. Harper has championed Canada's symbolic ties to Britain, most notably in 2011 when Canada added the adjective "Royal" to the names of its navy and air force. Those military units had stopped having the word "Royal" in their names in 1968.
The U.K. Parliament says 48 dignitaries or world leaders have been invited to address British lawmakers since 1939. Some of the biggest names to appear at Westminster over the past two decades include Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela and Pope Benedict XVI.

A mother and daughter are recovering tonight after being shot in the face during a marijuana heist that they participated in.
According to deputies, it happened early Monday morning on Woodburrow and Highway 44 in Shingletown after the family had conspired to steal marijuana from a home.
Deputies said Cheryl Schmitz, 54, and her daughter Ashley Schmitz, 21, were waiting in the car while Cheryl's son, Daniel Schmitz was attempting to steal marijuana from the home. While Ashley and Cheryl Schmitz were waiting, they were shot.
Deputies say after the gunfire, the family went to a local hospital for treatment around 5 a.m. after which the Shasta County Sheriff's Office was contacted.
A woman who lived near where the crime occurred, Barbara Williams, said she heard the gunshots along with men's voices. Williams said she often hears hunters practicing but said that the shots she heard Monday morning were distinct.
"This was actually a different sounding gunshot than what we normally hear. It was kind of a bigger boom than what we normally hear so I was a little concerned," Williams said.
Deputies said that the mother and daughter were both airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center and released Monday night.
A suspect has not been named at this time.
Anyone with information has been asked to reach out to the sheriff's dept. or Secret Witness.

On Friday about 300 Palestinian Americans and supporters held a rally near the Ohio Statehouse to protest Israel's air strikes and ground invasion of Gaza. The rally was a follow-up to a demonstration held downtown on July 19.
"We're here because we are all ashamed that children are being bombed in their sleep," said Bilal El-Yousseph. "Israelis are hiding behind towers and fortified walls while Gaza is under siege."
"We are not Muslim, or Jewish, or Christian, or atheist," said Cynthia Ubaldo. "Today we are one people, one voice. The people of Palestine are suffering. It's time for all of us to take up their struggle." She led the assembly in several chants.
"Nelson Mandela once said, 'Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.' We must educate ourselves first," Ubaldo said. "Read and watch reports from both sides of the situation. When confronted by a supporter of the opposition, we must know his or her point of view, and calmly explain ours. By educating them, change can happen one person and one voice at a time."
"Every day eight million of our tax dollars go to Israel, said Sami Eddauod. "Since 1948, America has given $112 billion to this state. Over 100,000 Palestinians are displaced from their homes right now. 6,500 people have been injured by Israeli air strikes in one month. 1,400 did not make it.
"This is not an issue of race, or ethnicity, or religion," Eddauod said. "America underwent integration. It was segregated, just like Israel is now, as an apartheid state."
The rally began at the northeast corner of Broad at High Streets, in front of Channel 10 News. Then the protesters crossed Broad Street and stood on the north side of the Statehouse. Several dozen Columbus Police officers were on hand.
"I want to live in peace," said Maria Khalil of Hilliard. "I want to be able to go back to Palestine without having to sit at the border for three hours, without being interrogated about why I want to go there.
"We are not against the Jews," Khalil said. "They are our brothers. We are not here for any other reason than for humanity."
Another rally is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday, August 17, at a location yet to be determined. "The Columbus Dispatch asked us when we would stop having rallies," said organizer Reema Al-Waridat. "We answered, 'When the Palestinians stop losing their lives.'"

Fan Voice: Have we seen the best – perhaps even the last – of former Miami Dolphins SS Yeremiah Bell?
The Tennessee Titans will host former Miami Dolphins strong safety Yeremiah Bell today, according to The Tennessean.
Bell has been searching for a new team since the Dolphins stunningly cut its captain and four-year leading tackler a week into free agency. He has worked out for the New York Jets and the Philadelphia Eagles. The New England Patriots were also a team reportedly with interest in the 34-year-old Bell.
Bell started 63 of 64 games the past four seasons. He had 107 tackles with four pass deflections and an interception last season.
So why have teams been slow to sign the eight-year NFL veteran?
This Tweet exchange between Philadelphia Inquirer Eagles beat reporter Jeff McLane and a follower might shed some light on the subject:
"#Eagles think he's done. RT @JoshCahan Why not lock up Yeremiah Bell as insurance? Probably cheap, right?"
So in this edition of Fan Voice, we ask: Have we seen the best – perhaps even the last – of Bell?

INTERVIEW: Architect Hank Louis on 'Design Build Bluff' and Sustainable Homes
Start Slideshow
- interview hank louisDesign Build Bluff is a university design and build course started by Hank Louis at the University of Utah School of Architecture. It's the type of program you wish you were a part of during school and one that you will probably want to help out withwhen you learn more about it. DBB just finished its seventh sustainably-built house in Navajo Nation in Southern Utah. Their latest house in a string of super affordable and sustainably-built structures, is a testament to the hearts of those involved and the amazing education in green building the students are receiving. I had a chance to sit down with Hank Louis for a juice after he returned from Bluff, Utah, where they base their construction operations out of. As you can imagine, we had a lot to talk about, especially about DBB's exciting new developments and how it differs from other university programs -- read on for our exclusive interview!1
- DBB Rosie Joe House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)This is the Rosie Joe House, built for a single mother working three jobs to support her family. Eight students from the University of Utah designed and built this home.2
- DBB Rosie Joe House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)Completely off-grid without water, this home provides enough energy and water from rainwater collection for the family's needs. The home won an honor award from the regional chapter of the AIA in 2004.3
- DBB Rosie Joe House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)The home also includes a rammed earth Trombe wall for temperature regulation, a ceiling and roof structure made completely of found pallets, and interior walls constructed of recycled signs.4
- DBB Sweet Caroline House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)The Sweet Caroline house is a juxtaposition of the Anglo and Navajo worlds, with a straight and round wall in the center of the home, which merges into a large central room, where the two worlds can mingle. The design was inspired by the owner's experience of living in both the Anglo and Navajo world.5
- DBB Sweet Caroline House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)6
- DBB Sweet Caroline House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)The home is largely constructed of Flex-crete, a fly-ash byproduct produced on the Navajo Nation, which provides thermal mass and is reminiscent of older adobe structures, but also has stronger structural properties.7
- DBB Sweet Caroline House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)The home was constructed for Caroline and her daughter Audrey, who put their own labor and sweat into the construction, helping out the DBB students to build their home.8
- DBB Sweet Caroline House (photo credit: Keith Carlsen)Like all the DBB homes, this one is also off-grid and super energy-efficient. It is located in the Navajo Nation in Southeastern Utah.9
- DBB Studio 23 (photo credit: Katie Eldridge)Studio 23 is the latest of the DBB homes in Southern Utah. This home was built for a family who had need of a potting studio. The two-story home is made out of SIPs panels, while the potting studio uses load bearing straw bale construction.10
- DBB Studio 23 (photo credit: Katie Eldridge)Recycled and reclaimed materials were used extensively throughout the home. Reclaimed wood was used for the exterior and much of the interior including the stairs. Interestingly enough, a reclaimed car engine was transformed into a sink for the art studio.11
- DBB Studio 23 (photo credit: Katie Eldridge)This past spring 22 students from the University of Utah spent their semester living in Bluff, Utah and working on building this green home in the dessert. The home was completed mid May.12
- DBB Studio 23 (photo credit: Katie Eldridge)A PV system supplies all the power needed for the home, rainwater is collected for use in the home and grey water is recycled for landscape irrigation.13
- DBB Studio 23 (photo credit: Katie Eldridge)Starting this summer, the University of Colorado Denver will also take part in the DBB program and will start construction on their home in the Fall. Next spring, the University of New Mexico Albuquerque will join DBB and install a prefab house overthe summer semester, making DBB a year-round program.14

Every enduring soap opera presents power couples. 'The Young and the Restless' has featured many strong soul mates since its first broadcast in 1973. As of 2014, this daytime stage appears to be set so that one of its most famous modern couples can finally reunite.
Joshua Morrow and Sharon Case brought 'Nick Newman' and 'Sharon Collins Newman' to life during the past few decades. Then, through the terrifically paced 'Cassie dies' storyline, their relationship was destroyed.
With the ever-present use of Genoa City logic, aka the power of creative writing, 'Sharon's' long-dead daughter began to appear in visionary form to her wanting mother last year. Initially, the lack of proper medication appeared to be the link to those modern-'Cassie' projections. But, every viewer knew that a new story direction was at hand when physical contact was made with whoever Camryn Grimes was portraying.
'Victor Newman's' accidental meeting at 'Nick' and 'Sharon's' former coffee house and subsequent clandestine meeting with the "dead-ringer" of his step-granddaughter in 'Katherine Chancellor' park explained the mystery. How fitting that Eric Braeden's character was behind it all.
The 'Dark Knight' has often worked to avoid this long-awaited reunion. However, it seems that Grimes' often-questioned exit from the show has come full-circle and will serve to bring these star-crossed souls back together.

Though I am a new shooter, I found the 3 & 7 yards easy but the 15 yards was a little challenging. Now that I passed, it's time for the goodies. I just bought a Remora holster and now I'm going to purchase a Crossbreed Holster since I've heard their one of the most comfortable holsters.
Nice shooting! I think you will like the crossbreed holster, I know I love mine.

SULLIVAN TWP. – John Guilford's muscle and Dakota Kuntz's hustle kept Black River's football team full of bustle.
With neither offense sustaining anything of substance on the slushy Stevenson Field turf Friday, the Pirates' defense came up with four turnovers and a pair of fourth-down stops in the red zone to upend archival Buckeye 14-0 in Patriot Athletic Conference Stars Division play.
"First off, it's a (Medina) county rival game, so things are going to be tough," 22nd-year Black River coach Al Young said. "They came to play. It was tough sledding out there."
No one knew that better than the Bucks (1-5, 0-3), who had their chances to pull off a mega-upset but were turned away each time by the stingy Pirates (6-0, 3-0).
With just over eight minutes remaining and Black River up 14-0, Buckeye quarterback Bill Doerge (0-of-15 passing, INT.) left with cramps. Backup Alex Green then found Nick Prest on a go route down the sideline for a 64-yard gain.
As Prest was attempting to find paydirt, Kuntz made a great hustle play to strip the ball at the Pirates 20-yard line. Fellow defensive back Seth Terry pounced on the ball, and the Pirates' offense ran out most of the clock on the ensuing possession to all but seal the deal.
"They're a tough bunch," Young said. "I don't care who it is, any time you shut someone out, you're doing well."
That wouldn't have been accomplished without first-team Division IV All-Ohioan Guilford, as the defensive end came up with a pair of first-half fumble recoveries and finished strong with two fourth-down stuffs.
The first came on fourth-and-5 from the Black River 15. Kyle Haines attempted to take a reverse handoff and bobbled the ball, but Guilford was there to stop him regardless as Black River held tall.
The second came at the 50 on fourth-and-3. Doerge dropped back to pass until Guilford beat his man off the edge and knocked the ball loose for teammate Terry Sas to recover.
Donatilus DeMarco added an icing-on-the-cake interception in the waning moments to cap a night in which Black River allowed just 112 yards on 57 plays when the long pass wasn't factored.
"The weather was a big factor, of course, and we really couldn't get it going on offense," Guilford said. "But our defense really stepped it up. We just kept pushing and made sure they didn't score.
"It's Buckeye, our rivals. I always go harder. I just wanted (the ball)."
So, too, did running backs Andrew Vaughn (17 carries, 127 yards) and Austin Phillips (15, 98). The former kicked off the scoring with a 55-yard trap play late in the first quarter, setting the stage for Vaughn's signature: The long-range TD.
The sophomore took a power sweep handoff on his own 14 and appeared to be stopped in a big pile in the middle of the field. He hurdled a pair of pancaked Buckeye defenders who were on their hands and knees, then outraced the defense on his way to pushing his season point total to 102.
"I went to the middle and saw my line took out a bunch of guys that were just laying there, so I jumped the first one and jumped the second one," said Vaughn, who also scored on a two-point conversion. "I didn't know I was even through. I saw open field and I was like, 'Oh, crap, I just better start running."'
That was all the offense the Pirates needed. Black River, which entered the game averaging 45.2 points and 442.6 yards, put up just 2.41 yards per play outside of its two TD scampers despite 51 yards on just eight carries from wingback Jake Sexton.
On the other side, Buckeye salvaged plenty of pride despite losing its first fumbles in seven games and failing to score for the third time this season.
Junior running back Rick Monroe played a strong two-way game with 52 hard-earned rushing yards and a pair of sacks, while backup Dan Inman had a pair of nice tackle-breaking sprints for first downs.
"That's really all that we ask every single week: Did you play hard, and are we getting better week to week?"' Bucks coach Billy Burke said. "No, we don't score an offensive touchdown again and we don't come out on the winning end, but we're playing hard and we're giving ourselves opportunities. We got beat by a pretty good football team."

O'Neill's striker delight
by Stuart Vose
Boss hails Fletcher brace.
Martin O'Neill backed striker Steven Fletcher after seeing the hitman open his goalscoring account at Swansea.
Fletcher shone on his league debut for Sunderland, netting twice as the Black Cats earned a draw at the Liberty Stadium.
He opened the scoring just before the break, seizing on a mistake by Ashley Williams before curling a shot in off the post.
Fletcher can finish. We saw that last season too
- Martin O'Neill
"Fletcher did wonderfully well from a nothing situation - the defender dwelled on the ball and was muscled out," O'Neill said.
"We've seen him do it in training, but that's totally different to being out there on the pitch.
"Fletcher can finish. We saw it in the Barclays Premier League last season too."
Wayne Routledge equalised shortly afterwards but Fletcher was at it again in first-half stoppage time, tapping home Seb Larsson's free kick.
However, Michu's equaliser in the second period earned Michael Laudrup's side a share of the spoils.
"The second goal was trademark for him," O'Neill continued.
"He stormed in at the back and that was a great moment for us after losing the initiative when we conceded the equaliser."
O'Neill added: "It's a great start for him and the fans chanting his name was great to hear too."

An iptables rule on my database server is:
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6432 -s 10.115.0.150 -j ACCEPT
I have other rules (loopback, etc.), but I'm wondering if that specific rule can be "hacked". Can somebody just "spoof" the IP address (even though it's a private network address - also, would it be different if it was a public address)? Something different?

We have two separate managed web servers. One is running CentOS 6.2 and is used as a production environment for a number of sites. The second one runs CentOS 6.4, and hosts some internal applications, such as our wiki, gitlab and issue tracker.
I would like to also use the secondary one as a staging environment for sites we develop, to test before they go into production. Ideally, both environments should have an identical setup in terms of OS.
My options seem to be;
- Upgrade live box to 6.4 - We have client sites on there currently, so this seems a bit risky.
- Downgrade the secondary box to 6.2 - I am nervous about messing up the things we have on there currently, I do not want to have to reinstall the development tools that are used daily.
- Ignore the difference and hope that it isn't a big deal.
Option 3 is tempting, but as I can't really find the differences between the two versions, I don't know whether or not it is wise, can anybody advise please?
