Meet the honorary co-chairs of Southerners for the Freedom to Marry
February 24, 2014
Today, Freedom to Marry, in partnership with 12 Southern equality organizations, launched Southerners for the Freedom to Marry, a new campaign that will amplify the voices of marriage supporters in the South. We are proud to present this new bipartisan organizing effort alongside 13 honorary co-chairs. Read all about the co-chairs, who hail from nine of the 14 states involved in Southerners for the Freedom to Marry:
Patricia Todd (D), State Representative from Alabama
Since 2006, Rep. Patricia Todd has served in the Alabama House of Representatives as the first openly gay legislator in the state. She has spoken out often about equality for LGBT people in Alabama and has made the case for the freedom to marry in her state often. In September 2013, she married her longtime partner Jennifer in Provincetown, Mass., and she spoke about what it meant for her to be legally married and have that license disrespected by the state she serves each and every day. She said about the June 2013 Supreme Court decision striking down the central part of DOMA, "I was waiting for them to make this decision, and I felt they were going to make the right decision. It's a good day and now we can move forward. You can't have 50 different sets of laws about this issue. The court left open a way for those of us who have been left behind."
Harry Thomason & Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, TV Producers from Arkansas
Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason are television producers who hail from Arkansas and Missouri, respectively. Together, they produced Designing Women, the CBS sitcom about the workers in an interior design firm in the South, and are good friends with President Bill Clinton. They have spoken out often in support of equality for LGBT people. Most recently, Linda produced Bridegroom, the moving 2013 documentary featuring the story of Shane Bitney Crone and the love of his life, Thomas Lee Bridegroom, whose life was cut tragically short by a fatal accident.
Lioneld Jordan (D), Mayor of Fayetteville, Arkansas
Mayor Jordan has served as the mayor of Fayetteville, AR since 2008. Last year, he became the first mayor in Arkansas to sign on as a Mayor for the Freedom to Marry.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R), U.S. Congresswoman in Florida
Rep. Ros-Lehtinen has been a vocal supporter for the LGBT community and the freedom to marry for many years. In 2011 she became the first Republican co-sponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act, the bill that would fully overturn federal marriage discrimination, and since then, she has fought bravely for same-sex couples and their families.
Mayor Kasim Reed (D), Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed attended the launch of Southerners for the Freedom to Marry this morning. He signed on as a Mayor for the Freedom to Marry in December 2012, saying: "Today marks an important day as I announce my support for marriage equality. It is well known that I have gone through a good bit of reflection on this issue, but listening to the stories of so many people that I know and care about has strengthened my belief that marriage is a fundamental right for everyone. Loving couples, regardless of their sexual orientation, should have the right to marry whomever they want. By signing this resolution, I pledge my support to marriage equality for same-sex couples, consistent with equal protection under the law provided under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. ... I believe in tolerance and acceptance, regardless of a person's race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. That creed has been a guiding force for me throughout my life, as reflected by my actions and votes as a lifelong Democrat and elected official in the state of Georgia for more than 14 years."
Rep. John Lewis (D), U.S. Congressman in Georgia
Congressman John Lewis, civil rights hero and legend, kicked off Southerners for the Freedom to Marry in a new video, where he shared his thoughts on why marriage matters. In the video, he explains: "I look forward to the day, not just in the state of Georgia, but all across the American South and all across our country - when the question of being free to love in love and marry whoever you will please will no longer be an issue. ... And that day will come! It will come in America, in our lifetime."
Lance Bass, musician and author from Mississippi
Musician and author Lance Bass has long been a vocal advocate for the freedom to marry and for LGBT equality. He hails from Laurel, Mississippi, and in September 2013, he became engaged to marry his boyfriend Michael Turchin.
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt (D), Mayor of Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Mayor Kleinschmidt serves as the mayor of Chapel Hill, NC. He has served on the Chapel Hill Town Council since 2001 and is a strong and vocal supporter of the freedom to marry for same-sex couples.
Rep. James Clyburn (D), Congressman in South Carolina
Rep. Clyburn has served in the United States House of Representatives since 1993, and he now serves as the Assistant Democratic Leader. He signed on as a co-sponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act, which would fully end federal marriage discrimination, in 2012. He explained his support, saying, ""I, like the president, have evolved to a point of marriage equality. I have not always been there. I grew up in a parsonage, a fundamentalist Christian parsonage, and I grew up with that indoctrination. And I have grown to the point that I believe that we have evolved to marriage equality ... If we consider this to be a civil right — and I do — I don't think civil rights ought to be left up to a state-by-state approach. I think that we should have a national policy on this."
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D), Congressman in Texas
Last year Rep. Castro was elected to the United States House of Representatives after serving in the Texas legislature for over a decade.
Mark McKinnon, Chief media advisor to President George W. Bush from Texas
Mark McKinnon works as Global Vice-Chairman of Hill & Knowlton Strategies, an international communications consultancy, and serves as the President of Maverick Media. He has served as an adviser to many political leaders, including President George W. Bush and Republican presidential nominee John McCain. He is a strong supporter of marriage, explaining: "As a conservative, I don't believe you or I or the government can tell people who they can love or marry. Freedom means freedom for everyone, not just for some. That's why I'm a southerner for the freedom to marry. And the political reality is that the marriage wedge has lost its edge. This train has left the station and we all need to get onboard."
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D) in Virginia
Senator Tim Kaine took office as a United States Senator from Virginia in 2013; he previously served as governor of the state from 2006 until 2010. Last year, he announced his support for the freedom to marry as the U.S. Supreme Court was hearing oral arguments in two landmark cases in March 2013. He said, "I believe all people, regardless of sexual orientation, should be guaranteed the full rights to the legal benefits and responsibilities of marriage under the Constitution. I hope the Supreme Court affirms that principle."

Beef stock – especially homemade beef stock is remarkably easy to prepare especially using this tried-and-true classic beef stock recipe. You don't need purchased beef base to prepare a decent beef stock any more than you need those hateful little granules of chicken bouillon to prepare a chicken stock. Just a lazy Saturday around the house, some soup bones and vegetable scraps are all that this beef stock recipe requires.
While we mostly use roast chicken stock in our home, from time to time we mix it up by also preparing a good beef stock. The beef soup bones usually arrive in little paper packages from our meat CSA or for free at the farmers market. In this beef stock recipe, we couple those beef soup bones with leftover vegetable scraps – you know, the odds and ends of onions, the peelings from carrots and celery leaves. The inexpensive bones coupled with the vegetable scraps makes this beef stock recipe remarkably inexpensive to prepare.
A long cooking time provides ample opportunity for the wholesome nutrients present in the beef soup bones to leach out and into the water. The resulting beef stock is rich in nutrients – particularly minerals like calcium. It is also a rich source of gelatin and glucosamine chondroitin. You can read more about the benefits of bone broth.
|beef stock
- Several Pounds of Grass-finished Beef Soup Bones , (I routinely use 5-8 lbs)
- A freezer bag full of vegetable scraps , (carrot peelings, onion tops, celery leaves etc. Don't use brassicas or beets as they contribute an off-taste to the beef stock.)
- Fresh, filtered water.
- 2 Tbsp Cider Vinegar
- 2-3 Bay Leafs
- Rinse an clean the bones under clean water. Pat them dry.
- Roast the bones at 400 ° F for about an hour until the bones are well-browned and fragrant. Roasting the bones ensures a good flavor in the resulting beef stock. Failure to do so may lend a sour or off-taste to the end product.
- Once the bones are browned, drain off any fat.
- Add the bones to a big pot along with any vegetable scraps you might have. Avoid using brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, turnips, brussels sprouts etc.) as these vegetables will lend a bitter flavor to your stock. Instead, garlic, leeks, mushrooms, onions, carrots and celery add great flavor.
- Add filtered water to cover and bring to a boil. Once you've brought the water to a boil, add the vinegar and bay leafs.
- Turn down the heat and continue to simmer for several hours. I usually simmer mine about 24 hours.
- Throughout the cooking process, skim off any foam and add water as needed.
- When the stock is finished simmering, filter through a fine mesh seive and bottle in mason jars. The stock should set just like gelatin, and the fat should rise to the top.
- Pick off the fat and reserve it for cooking, then scoop out the gelled stock and reheat to serve as soup. Note that it's wise to serve this stock very hot as it may gel again once it cools.

Could Apple's iPad 3 end up being an iPad 3D? That's what RC Wireless has heard from "Hollywood Insiders":
"The fact that the iPad is 3D is a dead cert," one Hollywood insider close to the big movie studios told RCR, adding that the screen would be the real magic. She went on to say that the big film studios were currently running around like blue arsed flies trying to gear up to release plenty of 3D content in time for Apple's next launch.
We've seen 3D attempted before on everything from the Nintendo 3DS to LG Android tablets and so far it has seemed much more like a gimmick than a feature. Would Apple really go there? If they do, could they somehow come up with a better way of doing it, something that doesn't seem as unnatural as split convergence and focus? Maybe head tracking via the front facing camera?
We don't know, but we might just find us this fall, as it's looking like rumors of a second iPad release this year could pan out. Perhaps at the same fall event that'll bring us the iPhone 5. (And no, we haven't heard any iPhone 5D rumors... yet.)
Could Apple figure out a way to do 3D that isn't a gimmick?

Captain's Report
We tested the Sylvan 2008 8522 Sport powered by a single 150-hp Evinrude E-TEC engine with two people aboard and 1/2 fuel and got a WOT speed of 41.6 mph. This is quite good for a twin toon pontoon boat. What you are seeing here, thanks to the RPT design hulls, and the torque of the 2-stroke Evinrude engine, is the kind of performance that one would expect to see only on a tri-toon. Time to plane was 4.3 seconds, which is good. It took the boat 10.1 seconds to go 0 to 30.
We will put her "best cruise" speed of the 2008 model arbitrarily at 22.8 mph (3500 rpm) where she gets 3.65 mpg. In fact, for sundown cruising which is what a pontoon boat excels at, her speed would be about 7.9 mph and there she gets 4.24 mpg. That makes for a very long sundown, indeed, giving you plenty of time to catch the green flash.Read a special article on the RPT-desgned hull and see video on the subject...More recently, we tested the 2009 model Sylvan 8522 Sport with a far heavier payload – four people aboard and ¾ fuel. Now we got a WOT of 32.8 mph. Time to plane however was hardly affected, with the boat taking 3.4 seconds instead of the 3.3 seconds on the lighter craft. All pontoon boats are weight-sensitive, and the 8522 is no exception. With the added weight, the boat's two toons sank deeper in the water creating more wetted surface and more displacement, making it harder for the boat to go fast.Most importantly, at normal best cruising speed where the Sylvan 8522 will be run most often, the boat's performance is remarkably similar both light or loaded. At 3500 rpm with more fuel and four people aboard we recorded a speed of 21. 6 mph and 3.45 mpg. With the lighter load, the 2008 model went 22.8 mph, getting 3.65 mpg at 3500 rpm.
Spouse Appeal...
Take a look at your average 22-foot sportboat, or even deckboat, and you will see that they typically have a passenger capacity of 8-10 persons. Pontoons never fail to up the ante, and the 8522 is no exception with her 14-person capacity. Then there is the stability that a pontoon brings to the table. Finally, there is room for all of those people to move around and not rock the boat. As we said, spouses will love it. But there is more...Inevitably, people will naturally divide themselves into two groups. Sylvan's designers know this and have created a boat that has both groups not only seated so people are facing each other, but there is no real division between the groups so they can interact equally well.
Not Having a Party...
Watersports are just as much a part of the game plan with this boat. Drop the anchor and enjoy lunch with the removable pedestal table that has a base both forward and aft. If you want to change out of that wet swimsuit, the collapsible changing room at the side gate will keep your privacy without taking up valuable deck space when not in use. One thing that Sylvan could improve on is the swim boarding ladder. Unfortunately it's on the options list, and that's surprising seeing as virtually every buyer will likely want to add it.
Captain's View...At the Helm
The helm seat is above and beyond with a high back and good sized armrests. Exactly what a signature moniker should deliver. Instrumentation includes fuel gauge, speedometer, tachometer, and volt meter. The options list allows for a trim gauge and depth gauge. Sylvan correctly placed the AM/FM radio right at the dash where the operator has full control over it rather than giving him/her a remote control. We also like that is has an MP3 jack as standard. The engine control is mounted on the vertical, which takes a little getting used to. We'd like to see a horizontal mount fabricated here as it's so much more natural to move the control lever forward for faster rather then up, but it's a small obstacle that doesn't require much to get the hang of. Steering is hydraulic rather than cable for easier controlling. This is an important standard feature.
Little Touches...
We like some of the details that highlight Sylvan's Signature Series. Particularly the nav light/docking light combos. Just below each sidelight is a bright docking light that takes up no additional room and is not a tripping hazard either. The graphics look nice and the raised "Sylvan" logos are classy. Having three boarding doors is a convenient feature that allows for multiple docking arrangements. Carpeting is 22 oz. for a thicker comfortable feel and it's laid over ¾" marine grade plywood.
Clearly, Sylvan has taken the battle for pontoon customers to the other builders and has no intention of backing down in the fight. This is a good looking boat with features that make you feel like an executive who has just gotten a Goldman-Sachs bonus. Before you decide on any pontoon, be sure to take a test drive of the Sylvan 8522.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sylvan 8522 Sport (2009-) is 32.8 mph (52.8 kph), burning 15.1 gallons per hour (gph) or 57.15 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Sylvan 8522 Sport (2009-) is 21.6 mph (34.8 kph), and the boat gets 3.45 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.47 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 109 miles (175.42 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 150-hp Evinrude E-TEC.

momazona necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 66 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
I need two logos who will "play nice" with one another. Hopefully even complement each other.
Zen Doodles is the company name, and our focus is on simple, easy to use applications that simplify your life. We expect to do some consulting work too while we're getting started.
Our first "product" is a group of applications called Aza Suite. We will also eventually be looking for logos and icons for each application within the suite that fit the same look.
Please look at the brief because I've got a lot of ideas!
Zen Doodles and Aza Suite
The Zen Doodles name comes from the idea of getting to that zen like state of mind where you have tuned out everything around you and are doodling on a scrap piece of paper. The mindset I occasionally find myself in when I'm in another boring meeting and I hope the speaker thinks I'm taking notes... :P
The images I see are things like river rocks with the raked sand in Zen Gardens, but I can't seem to make that work for a unified look with the applications we're developing. I'm looking for inspiration, so I expect I'll be happier with something completely different than what I've visualized. I'm very open to your ideas. It does not need to have an "Asian" feel.
As of today, we are developing 7 applications in the Aza Suite aimed at simplifying your life. These range from menu planning and shopping lists to automotive and home maintenance. There is a client application that runs on the iPhone and eventually other cell phones. The application interfaces are clean and intuitive, and we are very focused on seamless integration between them.
We're hoping to have a "signature" color for each application in the suite, so it would be nice if the logo for the suite would pull those colors together into one iconic image. We have not settled on an exact pallete, but we like "jewel tones" and would be happy with a variation on ROY G BIV for the colors.
My first thought was a pie chart, but well, that's not even remotely iconic, and frankly I hated everything I tried in that regard. The icons for the individual applications will likely follow the Tango guidelines, and be suitably 'iconic'. We've also been considering an animal "mascot" for each application, but haven't persued it. We'd be happy to consider other themes as well. We are not sure we're ready to design the logo/icon for all 7 applications, we're just looking for a place to start.
I love the Aza Suite name. I think it's easy to remember and fun to say (ah-zah), and I'm looking for a great iconic image that has the same feel. I'm not keen on text being the sole focus of the logo. I prefer the firefox icon over internet explorer. I love the simplicity of the apple logo for it's clean simple lines. I like lizards and the fun and recognizable look of kokopelli. I like primitive, simple, clean design.
I don't know how the contest works exactly, but when I choose a winner, I'll want to be able to download the layered vector graphics file. I use Adobe CS2. Best of luck!
- Iconic recognizable images
- Consistent theme
- Simple stand alone artwork that can exist without the text
- Minimalistic look
- Unified Font
- Possibly some reflection.
- Text only logos with varying fonts.
- Stars, dots and stripes.
- Complex designs that don't scale
- Black background with glowing letters.
- Traditional Asian water color with black ink
- Unoriginal artwork

It's one of the most-played board games in the entire world, a game so well-known that its rules have become household shorthand and slang. And yet, the full story of Monopoly is a good deal deeper, more interesting, and more tragic than you may have thought.
Harper's has taken a fascinating, lengthy look back at the origins of the game, all the way to points unmentioned in Hasbro's official narrative.
The game's true origins, however, go unmentioned in the official literature. Three decades before Darrow's patent, in 1903, a Maryland actress named Lizzie Magie created a proto-Monopoly as a tool for teaching the philosophy of Henry George, a nineteenth-century writer who had popularized the notion that no single person could claim to "own" land. In his book Progress and Poverty (1879), George called private land ownership an "erroneous and destructive principle" and argued that land should be held in common, with members of society acting collectively as "the general landlord."
It's an interesting and well-researched bit of history, and a look at one of the most enduring, popular board games of all time. Go read, and enrich yourselves!
Side note: Man, did you guys all get into McDonald's Monopoly? I got so into that when I was a kid. I remember it'd be really easy to get Park Place (halfway to a million bucks), but impossible to get Boardwalk. I was kept up at night wondering at the person who got Boardwalk but didn't know it was the rare one and tossed it. I bet that happened more than once.

Saucy Sue
Just a few days ago my daylilies put on a good show. I got to see Saucy Sue for the first time and Ruffled Valentine. Not only did I get to see those but Saucy Sue had two buds and Raindrop had 3 blooms at the same time. Normally only one bloom per plant at a time.

Coggins, Foust Lead Wabash To Series Win at OWU
by Brent Harris
March 21, 2010
Tanner Coggins' solo home run with two outs in the top of the seventh lifted Wabash to a 6-5 victory in game one Sunday, while sophomore pitcher Eric Foust held Ohio Wesleyan to one run in the Little Giants' 8-1 win in game two. Wabash took three of four games from the Battling Bishops over the weekend to open the North Coast Athletic Conference portion of the 2010 season.
The Little Giants 5-3 lead was erased with two unearned runs by OWU in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game at 5-5. Coggins had already homered earlier in the game, launching a two-run shot in the third inning for a part of a four-run effort in the inning for Wabash.
Bishops starter Eric Livington's first pitch to Coggins in the seventh was drilled over the left-center field fence for his third home run of the series. The junior finished the four-game series with seven hits and six RBI while hitting .438 for the weekend. He was 3-for-4 in the first game Sunday against the Bishops.
Sophomore Andrew Swart finished the game to pick up his first victory of the season. He worked seven innings of eight-hit baseball while walking two and striking out four.
Foust controlled game two from the mound for the Little Giants. The sophomore picked up his third victory of the season by scattering nine hits over seven innings. The only run of the game for the Battling Bishops came in the second inning on a bases-loaded single. Foust picked up three strikeouts --- all in the final inning --- without walking a single batter.
Wabash opened the second game with three consecutive one-out singles, bringing home the first run on an RBI hit by John Holm. Chris Deig brought home another run on a bases-loaded ground out to put the Little Giants up 2-0. Coggins added another run in the second with an RBI single to score PJ Tyson for a 3-0 lead.
After OWU scored a run in the bottom of the second, Montana Timmons hit a leadoff double to start the third inning and scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of David Seibel.
The Little Giants broke the game open in the fourth when Brian Lares led off with a double to center. John Pennington followed with an infield single, moving to second on a throwing error by the Bishops that brought Lares home with the fifth run of the game for the Little Giants. Coggins reached on another error by OWU, setting up a two-run triple by Holm to bring home two more runs for the Little Giants. Holm added the final run of the game when he raced home on a wild pitch.
Pennington led the Little Giant hitters in the final game with three hits, while Coggins and Holm each added two. Holm's three RBI give him 24 for the season to lead the Little Giants.
Wabash is 7-10 for the season. The Little Giants finish the weekend in second place in the western division of the NCAC after Wittenberg took four games from Earlham College. Wittenberg will travel to Wabash for a key four-game series against the Little Giants beginning Saturday afternoon.

With the Air Force announcing it no longer needs its fleet of C-27J cargo planes, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), today joined other members of Congress in introducing a new bill to transfer 14 planes to the U.S. Forest Service to fight wildfires.
The bill, the Wildfire Suppression Aircraft Act of 2012, is a companion bill to a Senate measure introduced by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla).
Since the 2009 Station fire scorched 160,000 acres on the edge of the San Gabriel Mountains, Schiff has pressed the U.S. Forest Service to develop night flying capabilities. While he is still seeking answers as to the slow initial response to the Station fire, Schiff said, he also is looking for proactive steps that the Forest Service can take to modernize equipment and plans for firefighting.
"The Forest Service should be examining any and all ways to improve their approach to fighting wildfires, including updating and replacing their aging fleet of airplanes," Schiff said in a statement.
The C-27J, or Spartan, is a medium-sized military transport plane made by Italian aerospace firm Alenia Aeronautica and used by the U.S. military to move cargo.
With the Air Force deciding it no longer will use the C-27J, the existing fleet of 12 planes plus nine more that have already been ordered will be evaluated for use in other defense operations. If the Department of Defense declares them to be surplus, the planes will become available for other agencies' use.
Schiff, Rep. Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park) and about a dozen other California legislators from both sides of the aisle are co-sponsors of the bill by Ken Calvert (R-Corona).

REVIEW: Series 5 of Call the Midwife is born
It is Spring 1961 in Poplar, and a new start to the year as our ladies look forward to a new beginning. Things kicked off with a very modern looking, leotard-clad Trixie in a 'keep fit' class, and being qualified as an instructor to run her own classes.
The midwives were also given brand new uniforms that were more 'nipped in' than the old ones, emphasising their bodies much to the disapproval of the Sisters.
The first baby born last night was a malformed little baby girl who beat the odds and survived her condition despite the consultant's medical opinion that she would probably not survive overnight as the external malformation – a side-effect of Thalidomide, a drug prescribed to expectant mothers to combat anxiety and morning sickness – was usually an indicator of serious internal malformations. The baby was whipped away from mother Rhoda Mullucks (Liz White) before she could see her. The father unexpectedly saw his new born daughter and exploded to the doctor "How could you let this live!" as he stormed out of the hospital. Pass the tissues.
Meanwhile in the Keep Fit class, Trixie discovered that one of her older participants suffered incontinence and needed medical attention. The poor lady, Olive, who had a prolapsed womb had been trying to manage the situation by shoving a 'spud' in her 'parts down there'. With Trixie's help, the lady was booked in for an operation to fix her problem. This made her realise how much good her Keep Fit classes could be to the women in the East End who had no idea about their own bodies.
The underlying theme in this episode was clearly about the body, and how most are fortunate to have a normal, fully functioning one that is often taken for granted until something goes wrong with it. The story also showed how precious and beautiful the little life of the baby was despite being born malformed. We were made aware that the life ahead for her would not be an easy one, but that she would be given great love by her mother and siblings. It was very clear that her mother, Rhoda, would see to that.
Rhoda was portrayed as a lady of great courage and bravery, who refused to give her baby up, even though she knew that they would have to endure much in the years ahead. There was an especially great bit of acting when we saw the steely determination in her eyes when she called on her other children to protect their baby sister from other people. With the baby swaddled she looked very much like any other newborn, with her sweet beautiful face peering out from the blanket.
It was only when she was unwrapped that we saw the full extent of her deformity. Therein lies the message. Look past the external presentation and see the real beauty of the person beyond the ravages of their bodies. I am sure that when we saw the precious little newborn babe for the first time, we collectively felt the 'awww' factor in our hearts.
"Sometimes in life, we have to be grateful for what we have got, not what we have not got" was repeated by the baby's mother to her other children when they visited their new baby sister. The father was eventually won over by his wife's love for their newborn and accepted her as one of the family, having declared earlier: "I ain't allowing that monster into this house!"
As fully expected there is always much to tug at the heart strings in this popular low key series as it tackles life issues in the deprived area of Poplar. Although unglamorous and not very grand, unlike Downton Abbey, this programme is rich in human stories and never leaves us floundering in the dark mire of despair as it always offers hope in the end with the goodness and love dished out in full measure by the caring team of midwives and nuns. A little bit of of a sparkler for the dark and gloomy nights.

Omari Spellman (sprained left ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Spellman could not put any weight on his ankle as he left Friday's game. With John Collins (illness) doubtful, Dewayne Dedmon and Alex Len (knee; probable) will be in for extended minutes.

Fantasy News
March 22, 2019, 1:08 amDeMarcus Cousins - C - Golden State Warriors
DeMarcus Cousins returned to action in Thursday's 112-89 clobbering of the Pacers with 19 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
Cousins missed the previous two games with an ankle and foot injury, but returned and played 26 solid minutes tonight. He went 8-for-12 from the floor and missed his only 3-point attempt, but the Warriors loved having him back out there tonight and he should be inserted into all lineups moving forward.
March 22, 2019, 1:06 amStephen Curry - G - Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry scored 15 points on 5-of-15 shooting while adding four rebounds, seven assists, a steal and five 3-pointers against the Pacers on Thursday.
Cury went 5-for-15 from the floor and scored all of his points from deep. He was gunning it a bit tonight and had a signature turnaround 3-pointer, but he's actually been in a bit of a shooting slump lately. Over his past seven games, he's averaging 24.0 points, 5.0 3s, 5.6 boards, 5.7 assists and 1.9 steals on .400 shooting. Everything looks clean here except the efficiency, which is sure to shoot up soon.
March 22, 2019, 1:04 amKlay Thompson - G - Golden State Warriors
Klay Thompson scored 18 points on 7-of-18 shooting while adding eight rebounds, four assists and a triple-one against the Pacers on Thursday.
Thompson was cold from deep tonight, hitting only 1-of-6 from beyond the arc, but the uptick in assists is nice. The Warriors move the ball a lot when DeMarcus Cousins plays and it's lead to a healthy amount of assists being spread for each starter.
March 22, 2019, 1:03 amKevin Durant - F - Golden State Warriors
Kevin Durant scored 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting while chipping in three boards, six dimes, a triple, a steal and three blocks against the Pacers on Thursday.
Durant hasn't had an eye-popping line in a while, but he's been consistently delivering mid-round lines in the games he plays. The Warriors haven't rested any of their starters in their five-game week, but it would be unusual for coach Kerr not to. If Durant sits one game, he should be able to produce big numbers in the game he doesn't.
March 22, 2019, 1:00 amDraymond Green - F - Golden State Warriors
Draymond Green scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting while adding seven rebounds, five assists and a 3-pointer on Thursday.
Green's lack of defensive numbers is a bit odd, but he got it done everywhere else in 29 minutes of action. The Warriors made quick work of the Pacers so there was no need for Green to play much.
March 22, 2019, 12:59 amDomantas Sabonis - F - Indiana Pacers
Domantas Sabonis scored five points on 2-of-9 shooting while corralling 12 boards and handing out three assists on Thursday.
Sabonis did his usual work on the glass and turned up with zero defensive stats and 2-for-9 shooting from the floor. We'd be a little harder on him, but no one on the Pacers really did much today so tonight's line was relatively solid.
March 22, 2019, 12:58 amTyreke Evans - G - Indiana Pacers
Tyreke Evans scored 20 points on 8-of-17 shooting to go with five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a 3-pointer in Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Evans played 29 minutes tonight which is partly due to Darren Collison (right quad contusion) sitting and the fact that the Pacers' starting unit was dry on offense. He's till too volatile to trust in standard leagues.
March 22, 2019, 12:56 amCory Joseph - G - Indiana Pacers
Cory Joseph scored two points on 1-of-7 shooting while adding two rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block.
Joseph didn't get anything going on offense, but none of the Pacers' starters outside of Thaddeus Young could. The key stats to look at here are the steals and dimes. If Collison misses more time, Joseph is a low-end streamer for dimes and swipes.
March 22, 2019, 12:55 amMyles Turner - F/C - Indiana Pacers
Myles Turner scored four points on 2-of-10 shooting while adding six rebounds on Thursday.
Turner didn't block a shot and went 2-for-10 from the field and scoreless from deep. It wasn't an ideal matchup as he had to face either Draymond Green or DeMarcus Cousins all night so we'll give him a pass and the fact that he blocked five shots yesterday makes up for tonight.
March 22, 2019, 12:54 amThaddeus Young - F - Indiana Pacers
Thaddeus Young scored 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting while adding seven rebounds, an assist, two steals, a block and two triples on Thursday.
His line tonight was much better than his two-point outing against the Clippers and we're extra grateful for him delivering in what was a disaster of a night for the Pacers. He was the only starter to score in double-figures with ugly lines across the board.

Good advice getting rid of the MOOP before I even leave the house! Things like mac n' cheese and such can be put into zip lock baggies first I suppose.
Hope to see all of you on the playa!
Just noticed... mac n cheese? The type where you must boil water? As in, do you have a good evaporation plan for that much greywater? I'm sure you already know you can't dump it out, experiment a bit and see how much excess water you create with that meal.

One of the major problems with living in a college dorm is that your gaming experience is often limited by a lack of quality sound equipment. First of all, most of us can't afford a 5.1 surround system; and between quiet hours, a general lack of space, and roommates, gaming late at night quickly becomes a tricky situation unless you're willing to forgo volume at a reasonable level. But a solution to this conundrum is at hand: the Tritton AX 720 gaming headset provides some fantastic sound for a reasonable price, and the combination is fantastic.
The AX 720 is the perfect headset to pick up if you game on any mix of consoles and/or a PC. The headphones are designed to provide high-definition audio for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and for the most part the AX 720 is a smashing success.
|AX 720 Headset
|$130 Shop Ars
A 3-foot audio optical cable is used to connect the Tritton Amp to your consoles. Because I got sick of switching the cable from the consoles, I wound up picking up an optical audio splitter to connect two optical sources to a single input.
After connecting your consoles to the amp, using the headset requires a few more things to be hooked up. First, the detachable microphone needs to be plugged into the headset itself. If you're using it with a PS3, you're going to have to use a USB cable to connect the PS3 to the decoder. For the 360, an included audio cable is used to connect the controller to the 720's volume control unit. At first glance, it seems like there are too many cables being used, but you'll quickly forget about this when you put the headset itself on, thanks to the comfort and audio quality.
The AX 720 is extremely comfortable. Short of my Bose QC 15s, I haven't worn anything moreso. In fact, when Kaylee, my model, tried the headphones on, she even made a comment about how nice they felt. Meanwhile, the amp does a fantastic job of simulating surround sound. When I was playing Borderlands, I could actually hear enemies approaching from behind. As a result, I got killed from behind a lot less.
Talking to my friends with the headset over both Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network is great. I made a point of gaming with a friend in Boston and another in Dallas, and they both said my voice sounded clearer and crisper than it did when I used the standard Xbox headset and Bluetooth earpiece. On my end, I could certainly hear my friends even better.
However, the headset isn't entirely perfect. The only problem I encountered while playing games with the headset was that its bass is sometimes a little flat. It wasn't terrible, but it did appear a couple of times during action-heavy sequences where a lot of gunfire and explosions were present. The other problem I found was that the headset doesn't work yet with portable audio devices. While you can use your PC adapter to connect the AX 720 to an iPhone, the sound quality is extremely tinny and the volume doesn't work terribly well.
When I asked about iPhone compatibility, I received the following response: "Tritton is working on an iPhone connector that will not only allow the user to listen to music, but also have two-way communication for phone calls. Users will also be able to control his/her iPhone with features like answer/hang-up/pause/play/skip/repeat. This accessory isn't available yet, but will be sold as an add-on for the AX720 and AX180."
The going price for the Tritton AX 720 is around $130, which may seem a bit much for a headset. If, however, you do have a little cash to splurge and are looking for a great sound system that won't demolish your budget or take up too much room, this is a fantastic solution.

Topic: new colo facility question
My company recently got a new 1/2 rack to colo in, and received this question:
Will you be doing all routing on this IP address block or do you need us to do it?
By default, we do the routing of your IPs, unless you prefer to do your own routing. If this is the case, we can statically route your IPs to a /29.
I'm not sure what we currently do is called, but this is it:
all our servers have 10.x LAN address and the BSD PF firewall mounts all the external ip addresses in our /27. PF then has NAT, RDR and PASS/BLOCK rules. We do not run any hardware routers, only unmanaged switches and the BSD PF machine.
So that said, do I want the datacenter to do the routing?

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson carried off two top awards, including Most Valuable Player honors, at the National Football League awards show on Saturday.
Peterson, who overcame a career-threatening injury to lead the Vikings into the playoffs, was also named Offensive Player of the Year after coming within nine yards of setting a single season NFL rushing record.
While pleased to have won recognition for his performance, Peterson told reporters he was disappointed to have fallen short of his ultimate goal.
"I was definitely hoping to get to the Super Bowl. That was my goal," said the 27-year-old Peterson, whose 2011 season ended when he tore ligaments in his knee. "Come back, lead my team and help my team get to the Super Bowl.
"Unfortunately, that didn't happen. But I played my heart out every opportunity I had ... (and) I got a couple of good pieces of hardware to bring back and stack in my statue area.
"So it feels good."
The Houston Texans' J.J. Watt won the Defensive Player of the Year award.
"I can get a lot better, I'm only 23," Watt said. "I'm still growing as a human being, and as a person and as a player."
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning denied Peterson a clean sweep of awards available to him by winning Comeback Player of the Year honors.
Former Indianapolis Colts leader Manning missed the entire 2011 season after undergoing a series of neck surgeries and returned to the field with the Broncos, leading them to the playoffs as top seed in the American Football Conference.
"I really did not know what to expect," Manning said about his return. "I had the double variables of coming off an injury, not playing for a year and joining a new team, a new system, new team mates.
"That certainly added a lot to my plate. So it was hard knowing what to expect."
Quarterback Robert Griffin III, whose strong arm and running prowess led the Washington Redskins to a 10-6 record and their first NFC East title since 1999, was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Linebacker Luke Kuechly, who led the NFL in tackles (164) for the Carolina Panthers, grabbed the award for defensive rookies.
Coach of the Year was Bruce Arians, who stepped in to lead the Colts after Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia and steered them into the playoffs with an 11-5 record after the team had gone 2-14 in 2011.
Arians will be coaching the Arizona Cardinals next season with Pagano returning to the Colts sideline.
Peterson said making it back to the top of his profession after hurting his knee was not the toughest challenge he ever had to overcome.
"Losing my brother at seven (years of age), he was hit by a car right in front of me. That was the toughest," he said.
"Just going through the things I went through, the situation with my brother, that made me stronger. I was able to look at my knee like it was nothing. Another opportunity, another challenge for whatever reason is here."
Winners were selected by panel of football writers conducted by the Associated Press.

Kenneth Stinson, a longtime resident of Greenfield, Massachusetts, arrived in Greenfield in 1931. Soon after, he began a series of paintings of the area's seven covered bridges. Five of these bridges were swept away in the 1936 flood, and this bridge burned in 1975. (It has since been replaced.) The painting was done with a palette knife, a technique he learned at the Massachusetts College of Art. On his arrival, he became Creative Arts Director at the Greenfield High School, where he worked until 1936. Also in 1931, he helped found the Deerfield Valley Artists Association.

RPG Spotlight: Suikoden
One of the questions readers ask me most is if they would like a particular series. As a way to provide the answer and celebrate beloved franchises, RPG Spotlight gives a concise overview of the elements that give a franchise its heart and soul.
In this edition, I take a look at Konami's Suikoden. Suikoden is best known for its political intrigue, blindsiding betrayals, and recruiting an army of 108 Stars of Destiny to overthrow corruption and ignite a revolution.
Claim To Fame
Suikoden captured role-playing fans with its intriguing political storylines alongside both traditional and tactical battles. Additionally, building your own army by recruiting Stars of Destiny around the world meshed well with the game's themes and put players on an addictive hunt to find them all. The stars also determined endings, giving the best outcome for tracking all 108 down. Suikoden stands out most for how well it replicates the betrayals that come in war. We've all heard stories throughout history about how dire times turn even the staunchest allies against each other (Et tu, Brute?), but Suikoden lets players experience what a stab in the back feels like in a way few games do.
Play If You Like
It depends on what you find intriguing about Suikoden, if it's character recruitment, Radiata Stories is a good comparison. If you're a fan of more of the tactical battles and political stories, the Fire Emblem and Growlanser games are a close match.
History Catch-Up
Suikoden, created by Yoshitaka Murayama, made its way to North America in 1996 for PS1. Murayama wanted to create an RPG to give Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy a run for their money. Murayama's original vision became Suikoden II, and ultimately, decided to make Suikoden, a prequel to that story, because he didn't feel he had the experience yet for his initial vision. Murayama was greatly inspired by manga such as Fist of the North Star and Captain Tsubasa, along with the Chinese novel Outlaws of the Marsh. In his pitch, he used Outlaws of the Marsh as a main comparison, which lead to using the Japanese translation of the name, "Suikoden" as the game's name. It also inspired the 108 Stars of Destiny hook, which was to represent the 108 outlaws from Outlaws of the Marsh.
The first Suikoden did well with critics, but didn't generate the sales Konami anticipated. Still, it helped cement Suikoden's cult following, causing Konami to pursue it as a franchise. Suikoden II, which took place two years after the events of Suikoden, quickly became the series' shining star, setting a high standard. Since then, Suikoden has seen plenty highs and lows. Suikoden III and V are generally well-regarded entries, while Suikoden IV's faulty ship sailing system ruined an otherwise solid game. Fans have been pining for Suikoden VI, but have yet to see anything materialize, or even Konami confirming it still has interest in pursuing Suikoden further. The best that they've received is spin-offs for the 3DS and PSP, and none of the spin-offs have lived up to the core entries.
Good Starting Points
This is tough. Suikoden II remains the series' best outing, but is by far the hardest to find. Konami, please put it on PSN already! Since II might be hard to get your hands on, the first game isn't a bad starting point, and it is available on PSN. I played it recently and found it aged well, but there are places where you just need to submit to an extra grind. If you can handle a game that takes a bit to get going, Suikoden V on the PlayStation 2 isn't a bad starting point either. Suikoden V features some of my favorite blindsiding betrayals.
The Suikoden games don't really open up until you get your headquarters where you house all your recruits. The problem is that sometimes it takes a long time to get there, especially in the aforementioned Suikoden V. As the games have progressed, finding the stars have also become much harder with with some stars becoming inaccessible if you don't recruit them by a certain point. Also, the endings for doing the bare minimum in regards to star recruitment are just awful, so Suikoden best serves the completionists at heart. The reliance on grinding at some points may also be a turn off for some, but Suikoden's traditional battles play out quickly enough.
On The Horizon
As we noted in our Lost RPG Franchises feature, Suikoden has hit a standstill. We never did get a localization for the PSP Suikoden side story, entitled Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki, which released in 2012. Fans are still passionate about the series and have been trying to make their voices heard, even starting up The Suikoden Revival Movement, in hopes it urges Konami to have faith to do another mainline entry. Here's to hoping the franchise makes a comeback.

I'm getting excited about an upcoming MMO release based on what I'm hearing as it's finally open for public testing. It sounds like they're doing some unique things with characters and story. There was a bit of controversy about the high price of their collector's edition, but I do have my eye on a special box. In this box are a number of very exclusive perks which the regular box did not include - an extra 40 days' worth of game time, and access to additional game systems that were not available to regular edition customers on launch day - these include greatly expanded UI customization options and a much touted "legacy" system which will grant your alts perks for each previous character you have leveled on that server.
The game in question is patch 1.2 for SWTOR, which is currently on the public test server and slated for launch next month. The extra perks aren't exclusive to some special edition - these are just what has been added to the game in patches in the game's first 3-4 months of release. The extra game time is an estimate based on $60 for a box at launch versus $40 or so online these days if you're watching for a deal. In short, I can get all of the above for doing what us grizzled MMO vets always threaten to do and fail to follow through on - waiting a few months before jumping on the latest hot game.
This phenomena is not new, and there are any number of names for it - price discrimination, enthusiasm tax, etc, but it's a problem whatever you call it. This particular new release managed to sell two million boxes without my business, and therefore has yet to fire the staff needed to develop the features that have just about lured me off the fence about the game. Meanwhile, with the recurring subscription fee, some of those customers have already been forced to decide whether the game is worth their continuing investment and chosen not to stick around. I'm sure the win-back campaigns will kick off in the next few months, but it's always a tougher sell to change a player's view of a game.
Every game has to launch sometime, and there's always going to be something that can improve. It just seems like the incentives for players - wait and see where things settle out - aren't necessarily sustainable for your average new release.

At this point I'm not sure I'd play TOR if the lead designer landed in my garden wearing a jetpack and offered to install it for me for free with a lifetime subscription thrown in. Everything I've ever read about it, every screenshot I've seen and video I've watched makes it look so very dull. There are just so very many other more interesting-looking MMOs that I haven't tried yet and still no-one is offering me more than 24 hours in a day.
That said, I spent two hours last night playing Clone Wars. Which at least proves it's not (as I'd thought) the STAR Wars IP that's putting me off. I'm pretty sure now that what's doing that is BioWare.

Stale Sandbech beats Horgmo and White to win 2014 Copper Grand Prix slopestyle
Part of the Five Stops To Sochi series presented by Mammoth
While US riders had the pipe on lock at Copper, Colorado this weekend, it was a different story at slope. As a World Cup stop, the Grand Prix brought together riders from around the globe looking to qualify for a spot on their country's Olympic team. Most noticeable were the Norwegians, who used the Dew Tour and will now follow the Grand Prix series to choose their Olympic team.
"We're just looking for the best contests that will most closely match the Olympics," said Norwegian team coach Thomas Harstad. "Were just looking for the biggest events with the best courses. That's how you can pick [the team] most fairly."
With other riders like Sweden's Sven Thorgren, Belgium's Seppe Smits, and Japan's Yuki Kadono in the mix, many of the world's best slopestyle riders were in attendance today (minus Mark McMorris and Seb Toutant, who have already qualified for the Canadian team and no longer need to compete until the Olympics in Sochi if they don't want too). With that lineup, the Copper Grand Prix was an early snapshot of many of the top riders we can expect to see at Sochi.
As the second qualifying stop of five for riders hoping make the US Olympic team, the Copper Grand Prix is a crucial event to earn early points. The US will likely pick four riders for the men's Olympic slopestyle team.
It was a tough first round for many riders, but Shaun White set the bar on his first run. That run included a gap Cab 270 to 270 out on the first kink rail, frontside 270 on the down bar, and a 50-50 backside 180 on the battleship. Moving into the jumps he put down a switch double cork 1080, Cab double cork 1260, and backside double cork 1080. The judges scored that run a 90.75, putting him in first.
That lead would only last until Norway's Torstein Horgmo dropped in. Torstein went switch through the whole rail section with a gap switch backside 270 on the kink rail, switch frontside blunt 270 out on the down bar, followed by a switch boardslide 27o out. On the jumps he rolled away from a switch backside 900, frontside double cork 1080, and a backside double cork 1080, like only Torstein can do. With a score of 94.75, Torstein took the lead away from Shaun and put the pressure on.
And then there was Stale Sandbech's second run. After falling on the second rail trick of his first run giving him a score of 14.75, Stale had nothing to loose. He started off on the kink rail with a gap frontside hard way 270 before boosting to the top of the wallride with a frontside lipslide. On the battleship rail he kept it simple with a 50-50 gap to frontside 180, setting up for a hammer jump run. Stale spun off the first lip into a Cab 1260, unwound a backside flatspin 1440 on the next jump, and finished with a frontside 1080. The judges gave that a 97, and with Shaun and Torstein both falling on their runs, Stale was off to the highest spot on the podium.
"It feels really good," said Stale of taking out both Shaun and Torstein. "Since Shaun started riding slopestyle again, and always Torstein, it's been something I wanted to do—stand higher than them on the podium. I wish we got champagne, because I really wanted to spray down on both those guys when I had the chance. But maybe another time, hopefully."
The US riders struggled today, with Chas Guldemond finishing fifth. Ryan Stassel and Brandon Davis finished seventh and eight, while first place qualifier Sage Kotsenburg ending up in 14th after falling on both runs.

In 2001, a study of the role of research in the physical sciences at undergraduate institutions culminated at an educational conference primarily attended by college and university presidents at Fermilab, near Chicago. The study (Academic Excellence) was funded by five private foundations: Research Corporation, Keck Foundation, Welch Foundation, Dreyfus Foundation, and M.J. Murdock Charitable Trusts. Personnel who had also spent much of their careers at the National Science Foundation assisted them in the data analysis. The five foundations invited 136 institutions to provide data for the study; Fort Lewis College was one of these institutions.
At the Fermilab conference, John P. Schaefer, then President of Research Corporation, delivered the opening keynote address highlighting the Fort Lewis College Chemistry Department. As you will note, Schaefer remarks that the department "does a fabulous job… They find students. They inspire them." The full text of the address is given here.
Soon after the conference, an article was published in Chemical & Engineering News (a weekly publication of the American Chemical Society) summarizing the conference. Again, Fort Lewis College is highlighted.
The data collected in the Academic Excellence study was made available to the participants and public. The FLC Chemistry Department combined that data with data available from the National Science Foundation (NSF) database (WebCASPAR) for the same time period. Specifically, the NSF data on the baccalaureate origins of Chemistry PhDs was combined with the resource data of the Academic Excellence study. As the following spreadsheet indicates, the FLC Chemistry Department ranks extremely high in this comparison with a fraction of the resources available of comparable institutions.
This was not the first time that the Chemistry Department had been recognized nationally. Sheila Tobias, a noted author in mathematics and science educational reform (Overcoming Math Anxiety, 1978 and 1994, revised; They're Not Dumb, They're Different: Stalking the Second Tier, 1990), had previously highlighted the Fort Lewis College Chemistry Department for its ability to recruit new students to research students in her book: Revitalizing Undergraduate Science: Why Some Things Work and Most Don't, 1992 (Chapter 3).

Active Health necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 142 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Active Health Clinic
We're a leading health clinic in Australia that specialises in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome patients. We also offer a number of other services in line with our expertise in rehabilitation.
Our key philosophy is to help patients help themselves, so they can lead normal lives and without the need to see health professionals for the rest of their lives.
Our multi-disciplinary team brings all the necessary skills to help our patients do exactly this, and we are expanding to include dieticians, physiotherapists to further widen our services to clients.
We've built a successful business purely via word of mouth, and are now looking to expand.
Our patients range in age from 12-75 but are generally aged 16-40. They can range from being wheelchair bound to elite athletes (they are just "everyday" people as well!).
Given this broad target audience we're looking for a logo which will have a fairly wide appeal.
As our services continue to expand we are looking for a logo that will be flexible enough to support any areas of health we choose to move in to; we'd like to use it for a number of years.
Here are some words we associate with our brand:
• Healthy, active, experienced, friendly, honest, individual, independence, professional, relaxed, regaining your life, dynamic, personal, multi-disciplinary, allied health, self help.
Images that I don't want
• Athletes (promotes high performance only and may alienate many of my clients)
• Sick or unwell connotations/pictures
We'd like to use the winning logo on business cards, our web site, self-help leaflets and guides, and perhaps printed occasionally on polo shirts.
It doesn't need to have a black or white background, however should be easy enough to modify to suit if required.
We're really looking for some unique interpretations of our brand – so feel free to be creative and we'll keep the feedback up so you know how you're tracking.
The competition winner should provide the original file in .psd and .jpg/.png formats, as well as including any fonts used.
Wishing you the best of luck! :)

Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area is located in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes, approximately 15 miles southeast of Houma. This area, which is owned by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, includes about 35,000 acres.
Access to the interior is typically limited to boat travel due to the lack of roads. Boat launches into the interior of the area are available on the Island Road and on Highway 665, south of the Headquarters area. The terrain is mostly marsh, varying from intermediate to brackish, interspersed with numerous ponds, bayous, and canals. The only timber stands are located on the Point Farm Unit of the area, or areas adjacent to natural bayous and older oil and gas canals.
Management practices employed to increase productivity of the marshes for furbearers, waterfowl, alligators, and fish are mainly directed towards water control through the use of variable crested weirs and levees.
Game species include waterfowl, deer, rabbit, squirrels, rails, gallinules, and snipe. Furbearing animals present are mink, nutria, muskrat, raccoon, opossum, and otter. The Department holds annual lottery hunts for waterfowl for the physically challenged hunters and for deer for youth hunters.
Inland saltwater fish species, crabs, and shrimp (shrimp may only be caught with cast net) are available to the recreational fisherman. Fishing is excellent due to the proximity to the Timbalier and Terrebonne Bay watersheds. Freshwater fish may be caught in the more northern portions of the area.
Non-consumptive forms of recreation available include boating, nature study, camping (a tent-camp ground is available along Highway 665, north of the Headquarters area), and picnicking. More information can be obtained by calling 985-594-5494.

Mnn.com carried a story about looking for evidence of alien life in the form of scat the creatures surely left behind.
https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/space ... their-poop
After a hiker has bagged every peak in socal, what to do next? Alien scat hunting? Google tells me that UFO sightings are fairly common in the Anza area.
I wonder if Art Bell ever covered this.
Friends told me that they captured by camera the images of orbs on Cowles Mountain just before sunrise on the winter solstice. They sighted them at the old native American observatory. Google mentions a golden orb that is often seen near Mt Cahuilla.
Does anyone here have any more information or stories about such things?
