Korean slugger now a free agent
By_Doug Miller_/_MLB.com
On Saturday, Korean slugger Seung-Yeop Lee took his first step toward Major League Baseball, and according to a Korean source, he might soon be walking in Anaheim's direction.
Lee, 27, officially became a free agent Saturday and has drawn the interest of scouts for 10 big-league clubs.
The source said the Angels might be the front-runner and that it wouldn't be a surprise if Lee signed a contract with Anaheim within the next month.
Angels GM Bill Stoneman was unavailable for comment on Saturday night.
Lee has been represented by John Kim of SFX in Korea. On Saturday, Southern California-based Arn Tellem confirmed that Lee will be a Tellem client in the United States.
"I can't talk about teams," Tellem said. "But we are representing him. Call back Monday."
Lee, a first baseman known in Korea as the "Lion King," hit 56 home runs in 2003 to break Japanese legend Sadaharu Oh's Asian single-season home run mark of 55 and smash the Korean record of 54, which he set in 1999 (135-game season). He has hit over 300 home runs in nine seasons in Korea.
The Angels would likely have no problem accommodating him on the field if they so desired.
Anaheim released its full-time designated hitter, Brad Fullmer, last month, in a move designed to give regular right-fielder Tim Salmon more at-bats at DH.
The Angels also have not yet indicated plans for their regular first baseman, Scott Spiezio, who is a free agent.
Lee is not a complete stranger to the big leagues: He worked out with the Chicago Cubs in Spring Training in 2002 and with the Florida Marlins in their 2003 spring camp.
On Saturday, another source familiar with the situation said, "He wants to play in the American League, where he can have the option of being a designated hitter, and everyone in Korea has been reporting Anaheim as a strong possibility."
One Korean newspaper, Dong-A Ilbo reported that Lee also seeks a city with a strong Korean population, which the Los Angeles area has.
Lee comes to the United States with a lofty reputation.
According to the Dong-A Ilbo, Lee's manager on the Samsung Lions, Ung-Ryong Kim, said, "He is able to do as much as Japanese hitter Hideki Matusi did."
Matsui, who was known as "Godzilla" after 10 star-studded years in Japan, came over to the New York Yankees in 2003 and will likely be the winner of the American League Rookie of the Year award after posting a .287 batting average with 16 home runs and 106 RBIs.
The newspaper said Lee is looking to command between $1.5 and $2 million per year.

Hotels in Suffolk
Among the best hotels in Suffolk, the hotel at the Crown in Stoke by Nayland has established a reputation for luxury combined with a first-class, friendly service. Opened in 2008, the hotel has been sympathetically designed to blend in with the historic Crown Inn next door while also offering guests a stylish, modern décor in each room. The Crown Inn itself offers an excellent selection of wines and ales, as well as a sumptuous, seasonal menu, which together have led to the Crown being regularly named among the best pubs in Suffolk.
What make the hotel extra special is the stunning Suffolk countryside around it, a setting that will be familiar to lovers of landscape art. The nearby Church of St Mary's, with its 120 foot tower, is a well loved local landmark and can be seen in the works of celebrated artist John Constable, who immortalised the surrounding countryside of The Dedham Vale in the 18th century. Just down the road is Flatford Mill, site of Constable's famous Haywain, and still today a beautiful location to stroll along the river and enjoy a cream tea.

The trial of Savo Babic, an ex Serb military policeman charged with war crimes against Bosniaks committed in the town of Bratunac began with the presentation of the prosecution's opening argument.
The prosecution announced that by examining at least 46 witnesses, 26 of them protected, and entering 180 exhibits into evidence, it would prove that Babic, as a military police commander, was responsible for imprisoning and abusing non-Serb civilians in the Vuk Karadzic school in Bratunac, eastern Bosnia, in May 1992.
"Around 400 imprisoned civilian lived in fear for their lives. They were beaten and tortured every day, and several dozen civilians were murdered or died because of the conditions in the school. Most of their remains were found in mass graves near Bratunac," specifies the indictment.
The prosecutor, Dika Omerovic, emphasized that Babic, as the commander of the military police, had "absolute power over lives of prisoners and conditions in the school", which, she said, were utterly brutal.
Babic's defence said it would present its opening arguments after the prosecution finishes its evidence hearing.
The defence lawyer, Petko Pavlovic, asked for an additional defence attorney to be appointed since it was a complex case.
"I got nine binders with statements from the prosecution. Some witnesses gave depositions several times. It is impossible for one man to provide a quality defence in this case," said Pavlovic.
The prosecution objected to the defence's request. The court will make its decision regarding the additional defence lawyer at a later date.
Bratunac is a town in eastern Bosnia, located near the Serbian border. In 1992 Serb forces took over the town, triggering an exodus of Bosniaks, who formed the majority of the population at the time.
According to the ICTY verdicts, those expulsions were accompanied by brutality and violence: killings, sexual assaults and rapes. Throughout 1992 some 1,000 non-Serbs were killed in the municipality.
The trial is set to resume on November 19 when the first witnesses will testify.

Remember Me
July 12--After living most of her life without health insurance, Heidi Chaya isn't even 25 years old yet and she already has more medical bills than she can imagine paying off.
She works three part-time jobs. She drives a used 1991 Honda Accord whose parts have broken down. Traveling on vacation or raising a family feel like distant dreams.
"There's no way out of it, I feel like," said Chaya, 24, of Red Bank. "I just try not to think about it."
Chaya serves as a cautionary tale for twentysomethings who are young, mostly healthy and mostly flat broke. Beginning in 2014, they will be required to buy thousands of dollars worth of medical insurance, causing them to wonder how they can afford it.
After all, many are already are saddled with billions in student loans and a lousy job market. But experts say millions of young people will qualify for good deals on health care if they take time to sort through the complicated law.
Young Americans are the least likely to be insured: almost three of 10 adults who are under 35 aren't covered. And they go to emergency rooms more than any other group except seniors.
For some, time is running short. Ian Sepp of Middletown has been taking advantage of a provision in the health reform law that allows adult kids to stay on their parents' insurance plans until they are 26. Which gives Sepp five months before he will need to find his own coverage.
"For the time being, it's just a struggle to find a job with benefits," he said.
The health care law, given the go-ahead by the U.S. Supreme Court, requires nearly everyone to have insurance starting in 2014 or to pay a fine. The penalty, starting out at a relatively low $95, depending on income, would be far cheaper than paying premiums.
But experts cautioned young adults not to take a chance.
"It doesn't have to be cancer or a heart attack or even a bad car accident," said Karen Pollitz, a health policy expert at the Kaiser Family Foundation whose own son needed $15,000 worth of surgery after he broke his wrist while skateboarding at age 20. "Once you show up in the ER, it starts to cost you some money."
The health law is designed to provide incentives to ease the financial burden.
Many will get Medicaid coverage at virtually no cost. Others will qualify for private insurance at a fraction of the full premiums. And health plans offered under the law will limit individuals' out-of-pocket expenses to about $6,250 per year or less -- a bulwark against gigantic, unexpected medical bills.
The plans also will cover at no charge preventive care such as HIV tests, screening for depression or alcoholism, flu shots, hepatitis vaccine, contraception and pregnancy care. And insurers will no longer be able to exclude or charge extra for people who already have health problems.
Chaya, a student at Brookdale Community College in Middletown, lives with her family, but she isn't on their health plan because they don't have insurance either.
She first was diagnosed with an illness she declined to disclose about five years ago by going to the hospital emergency room -- a trip that cost her $700. Today, she treats it with medication and regular doctors' visits. But she has to pay for it herself.
She is doubtful, too, that she can afford the expense of health insurance; her paychecks go toward medical bills, her car, her cell phone and food. But if there is a way to afford it, she'll jump at the chance.
"It's really frustrating to not have insurance," Chaya said.

"The legend of the phoenix. It is said that they rise from their ashes and can bring prosperity or destruction. I am hunting a very special phoenix, one who according to legend saved three Pokemon from a fire and brought peace to the land. Ho-Oh, you will soon be mine." "Unfortunately, I need to prepare very heavily for this mission, and lacking sufficient knowledge of anything except Amperage Stream, and requiring more funds, I need to find that info out for myself. Time to scout the Molten Lake!" Challenging Ruined Eden Since I am simply scouting, I don't think I'll need any pokeballs, even if I reach the legendary somehow I don't really want it. Still, can't hurt to bring my 2 Cherish Balls and 5 Sport Balls with me just in case.

Time for another The Legend Run... back to where I made my entrance... the MYSTERIOUS COVE!
Cue the paniked refs: Quote:
Back again to the Cove... A potential servant at the end? Not if we have anything to say about it. You have the Golbat, you have the Persian, you have the Scrafty, and you even have the Dragon. We can't let you get another creature serving under you. Not even a legend. You seek to turn the Phione against me? You will pay later... Hold your rage, "Demon Lord." The Phione is on no one's side unless we reach it. And alone, none of us have a chance. I will tolerate you... for now... Destination: Mysterious Cove Butler the Audino
Itsumo the Spiritomb
Hope the Chimecho
Hope the Chimecho will hold the Pure Incense, while Butler and Itsumo will hold nothing. Whoever takes this had best have patience. Expect stall, and for me to last much longer than I did previously. Thread is here.

Anyway, I am putting my TLR on hold. Itsumo may be in a quick battle, but I need Hope for a raid, and there is no telling on how long that will take. Rejoice, TLR refs! I am not toxic stalling through just yet!

It was in my sleeve the WHOLE TIME!
It is time for this TLR to continue, finally.
Posting here rather than Gerard's public profile because I think it has been long enough that this is basically a fresh TLR run, rather than a subreffing.
I mentioned that I wasn't going to be on much because the new house has no interwebz, but it now turns out it could be any time until the 4th of April, which means (weirdly) that I'll mostly be available whenever I'm at university - not so much during the weekends and nights. But I'll see what I can do. EDIT: Fucking Hard Drive broke. IRC doesn't look like it's going to happen for a while. |

Published: Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 8:02 p.m.

Noise complaints and hand injuries made up the bulk of emergency calls on Independence Day, officials say.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office had two reports of hand injuries on July 4, according to Sheriff's Office dispatchers.
The first incident occurred on Declaration Lane off Big Willow Road in Etowah at 9:16 p.m. EMS and the Etowah Horse Shoe Fire Department responded. The patient was taken to the hospital, and a name and condition have not been released.
The second incident was in the area of Woodcock Avenue in Hendersonville at 11:12 p.m. Hendersonville Police, Hendersonville Fire Department and EMS were dispatched. Rescue workers said the patient left the scene before first responders could arrive.
County deputies also were dispatched to 23 noise disturbance complaints related to fireworks, according to records.
On July 4, the Hendersonville Police Department handled 23 calls involving fireworks, including a hand injury. The patient went to the hospital in their own car, according to police.

The Cobb Board of Commissioners will review County Manager David Hankerson's recommendation of a new senior services department head for the county.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Allana Shelton had the first multi-goal game of her career, while teammates Alex Davis and Kasey Crow added one goal and one assist each, to lead the University of Rio Grande to a 5-0 triumph over the University of Pikeville, Saturday evening, in Mid-South Conference women's soccer action at Evan E. Davis Field.
The RedStorm, who won for just the second time in their last six outings, improved to 6-8 overall and 2-5 in the MSC.
With the victory, head coach Callum Morris's squad also assured itself of a spot in next month's MSC Tournament, as well as affording itself the opportunity to finish the regular season with a .500 record. Rio has games with Campbellsville and at Bluefield remaining on its slate.
The RedStorm scored twice inside the first five minutes against the Bears and were never seriously threatened.
Shelton, a sophomore forward, scored on a header following a corner kick by Davis just 3:04 into the match and junior defender Mary Beth Schramm lofted a shot that somehow got past UPike net-minder Brittany Hatfield and into the net just over a minute and a half later to make it 2-0.
That's how things stayed until the 51:22 mark when Davis – a junior forward – scored on a direct kick after a foul against the Bears to increase the lead to 3-0.
Shelton scored for the second time off an assist from Crow at 61:30, before the freshman forward found the net for herself at 72:49 via a feed from freshman forward Courtney Young to round out the scoring.
Sophomore goal keeper Allison Keeney earned the win for Rio, collecting three saves in the first 71:26 before giving way to junior Hannah Stickelman, who did not face a shot on goal over the final 18:34 en route to completing the shutout.
Hatfield took the loss for Pikeville (3-7, 0-6), allowing four goals and collecting two saves in the first 68:13 of the match. Emily Owen surrendered the final Rio goal.
Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday, hosting Campbellsville University for Senior Night. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.
The game will mark the final appearance at home for seniors Jessica Gall, Katie Fuller and Vanessa Montgomery.

Hey everyone! How is it going? I'll start off by updating you on Wednesday night's game. It was an awesome game for the guys. We had a 4 - 0 lead after the first 11 minutes. Started off on fire. The guys were making smart plays and taking advantage of the opportunities. The final score ended up 6 - 1.
Hello everyone, Brad Hunt here keeping you posted on the Chicago Wolves training camp.
Hey everyone, I hope that everyone had a good weekend. Today is the start of a new week as well as a new month, 29 more days until Halloween so start thinking of some costume ideas.
Hey there, everyone. My name is Brad Hunt. I was asked to do a blog during the Chicago Wolves training camp and I am happy to do so. I have never written a blog before, so this will be fun!
Hey Wolves Fans...Wish this blog was coming with a update on our travel in the second round. As I'm sure many of you are, the entire organization is disappointed to be finished with our year so early.

Statistically, Umbreon still stands as ruler over dark types when it comes to defense. he has the highest defense and special defense of any dark type. Drapion and Tyranitar also have the same defense, unlike Tyranitar though Drapion's special defense is a bit lower though. Spiritomb also stands pretty well with a defense and special defense of 108 (I know why it's specifically 108, do you?)

San Jose, Calif. - San José State University President Mohammad Qayoumi has appointed Gene Bleymaier as San Jose State University's new athletics director, effective June 30, 2012. "I am thrilled Gene Bleymaier has agreed to bring his tremendous leadership skills and record of success to San José State, especially at a time when our football team is showing such strong potential," President Qayoumi said. "We are also fortunate he will arrive at SJSU as we move to the Mountain West from the Western Athletic Conference, a transition he navigated with great success at Boise State." As Boise State's athletics director for nearly three decades, Bleymaier is widely credited with transforming the Broncos football team into a national phenomenon, with a top-10 ranking in the past three seasons. His staff built or expanded nearly every athletics facility on campus, and he added four women's sports without dropping any men's sports, noted the Idaho Statesman newspaper.
"I see the same great potential in San José State that I saw in Boise State when I first arrived there," Bleymaier said. "I am pleased to accept President Qayoumi's offer, and to have the opportunity to take the reins at Spartan Athletics at such an exciting time. My wife Danell and I are looking forward to joining our four children, all of whom now reside in the Bay Area." After graduating from Borah High School in Boise, Bleymaier went on to earn a bachelor's degree in sociology from UCLA in 1975, where he played football for legendary coaching great and SJSU alumnus Dick Vermeil. Bleymaier earned a law degree from Loyola Law School in 1978, and served as a UCLA assistant athletics director before returning to Idaho. He joined the Boise State athletics department as an assistant athletics director in 1981, and was promoted to athletics director in 1982. Bleymaier has been recognized nationally for his leadership. He received the prestigious Bobby Dodd Athletic Director of the Year Award in 2011. He was one of five nominees for the Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily Athletic Director of the Year for 2010, and the only nominee from a non-automatic qualifying Bowl Championship Series school.

I absolutely LOVE, love, love McCormick Grill Mates seasonings. I think I have almost every variety in my cabinet and I use them for so many different things…not just to season meats for the grill. Although they are fabulous for that and if you are having a cookout this 4th of July (or any other time for that matter) you should really consider trying out some of their new ones. I tried both the Grill Mates® Slow & Low Smokin' Texas BBQ Rub and the Grill Mates® Slow & Low Memphis Pit BBQ Rub rubbed on ribs the other day. I don't think I can decide which I like better so my suggestion is to grab a pack of both!! Having Burgers? No problem!! The Grill Mates® Steakhouse Onion Burger Seasoning is FABULOUS!!! They have SOOOO many different varieties that there is something for everyone and every meat that you can think of. The other day our grill messed up though and we wanted some flavor…as I was browsing the fridge and the cabinet to see what I could throw together I thought Hmmm, what if I mixed up some Grill Mates and some flour, and breaded some pork chops. Grand Slam!! We gobbled those babies up and wished I had made more. So, even if you don't have a grill, don't let that limit your imagination on what you can do with McCormicks Grill Mates.
Choose your favorite flavor packet. I am using Grill Mates Spiced Brandy and Herb marinade. Even though it says it is a marinade it can be used as so much more. We use their marinades as seasonings, rubs and anything else we can think of.
Mix the packet with some flour (it doesn't matter if you use all-purpose or self-rising, both work)
Heat about 1/4 cup oil in a skillet. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture and fry on med-high heat for about 4 minutes per side.
They will be golden brown and taste like perfection!!
Some of my other favorite recipes that I have made using Grill Mates are: Italian Cheesy Potatoes, Zesty Herb Potatoes, CrockPot London Broil
I hope you get the chance to try any or all of these. They are all so good and will make your family sing your praises. Or grab some Grill Mates, a slab of meat and fire up the grill. You really can't go wrong either way.
I hope you each have a fun and safe 4th of July Celebration. We will be celebrating this great day of freedom by eating some great food, fellow-shipping with family and friends and floating around the pool. What's on the menu? I am not completely sure yet other than some pulled pork BBQ made with Grill Mates® Slow & Low Memphis Pit BBQ Rub and some Italian Cheesy Potatoes. The rest is up to the guests since everyone has been asked to bring a side-dish. I will have to update you after I find out myself.
"McCormicks Grill Mates supplied me with some of the seasonings to help facilitate this post. I really have been using their seasoning and spices for forever and day and you just can't get much better. I was in no other way compensated and all opinions are those of my own."

Most major Asian markets except the Kiwis ended below waters after China's plan to restrict landing and South Korea's not-so-good growth forecast. This downtrend may still persist in the days to come. We certainly need some confidence booster from the world leaders like the United States or China to give us a helping hand.
Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI) ended negatively down approximately 65 points or 2.32% with both blue chips and smaller caps stocks all ended in dismal note. Once small-time stock darling, Epure International, plunged more than 15% on a single day to end at $0.810 per share, that's a lot shy of its record $1.000 per share days ago. I have to count myself fortunate to have sold off Epure International before this current wave of correction swarmed in.
This current wave of correct has also hit my very own stock portfolio. Most are still in the black but definitely not the one I bought days ago. Almost a week ago, I secured Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) but now to see it lower by 10%. I have to accept the nature of stocks and shares and understand correction do happen.
This correction can serve as an opportunity for long-term investors :)

Highlights: French Riviera (Nice) , Monaco (Monte Carlo)
Rub shoulders with celebrities and royalty as you shop in the boutiques in the historical quarter of Nice, throw dice in the resplendent Monte Carlo Grand Casino, and sip cocktails overlooking Monaco's exclusive marina.
Few places in the world conjure up more glitz and glamor than the French Riviera, where you may well find yourself rubbing shoulders with famous stars at one of the upscale restaurants and bars. Admire chic boutiques and baroque architecture in the Old Town of Nice on a guided tour, or saunter along the famous Promenade des Anglais.

"The current price level of the Corsair Obsidian 550D is roughly 115 EUR / 139 USD and for the money you certainly receive chassis that is worth that money. It is an attractive, minimal, matte black chassis that looks and feels first-rate. And for a chassis with such a strong focus on noise dampening, the airflow isn't bad at all, no Sir. Definitely recommended."

"With a 2 year warranty it is hard not to fault the £109/$139 price tag of the Obsidian 550D. It offers a good level of thermal performance out of the box, great build quality and exceptionally low noise levels."

"With many companies offering cases geared toward a silent computing experience, Corsair is going all out, offering the most expensive option in the fray. Clocking in at a price premium when compared to offerings from NZXT, Fractal Design or Cooler Master, the Obsidian 550R still manages to stand out and impress"

"It is truly a great case no matter what your needs. The 550D is great case for you, for a family member, or even a build for a friend. It is subtle, so don't let this one go past a good look of your own. The design is simple, classy, and above all, it's extremely quiet. Major props to this case from me…another gold-worthy member in my family of reviews."

"Overall then, 550D is a fantastic case. The Obsidian Series continues to impress with another mid-tower, pushing the boundaries for quality and appearance. Those who seek elegance, quality and silence should look no further. Vortez awards the 550D with Gold."

text: Now that I have hit the 300 plus mark in releasing monarchs, the neighborhood bulbuls have set up camp on my doorstep and are eating them as fast as I can release them. I've been told to either release them when the bulbuls are sleeping (?) or take them elsewhere. Anyone have any suggestions? I've been a wildbird feeder for over 15 years. Does having a feeder (bulbuls don't eat my seeds, though) make it worse for my butterflies, so I need to stop also feeding the wildbirds.

The roads are clear, the lodges are open and the wildflowers are in bloom. Eastern Plumas is ready for Memorial Day.
"The people are already arriving," said Audrey Ellis, the executive director of the Eastern Plumas Chamber of Commerce. "We definitely have noticed an increase in traffic."
Janice Boucher-Hunt, co-owner of Sardine Lake Resort, echoed that sentiment.
"Memorial Day is already booked," she said. "People are already out on the lake fishing."
Last year, resort owners were contending with snow even into July, but this year the lack of snowfall made it easier for them to open up in time for the traditional kickoff to summer.
In addition to Sardine, the Gray Eagle Lodge and Packer Lake Lodge are set to open this weekend as well. All offer dining options, trails and picturesque lake settings.
At lower elevations, the Graeagle Merchants Association is sponsoring the Downtown Graeagle Shop-Hop. The stores will be open Saturday through Monday of Memorial Day weekend. Shoppers are invited to pick up a "passport" and have it stamped by participating merchants for an opportunity to win a prize.
On Sunday the Mohawk Valley Artists' Guild is holding its annual "Bursting into Spring" art and craft show at the Graeagle Fire Hall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For those who would rather be outdoors, Jeanne Graham at J&J Grizzly Store and Camping Resort at Lake Davis said, "The fishing is great!"
The lake is already open for trout season and the streams leading into the lake open Saturday.
The campgrounds are open with the exception of Grasshopper.
Beginning this weekend, the Grizzly Store resumes its popular Saturday barbecues.
From fishing to shopping, and golfing to sightseeing, there is something for everyone to enjoy this Memorial Day in Eastern Plumas.

Birth control a personal expense
Regarding Tom Watkins opinion piece about Rush Limbaughs recent statements: Limbaugh was wrong to use the words he used. That is exactly what he apologized for, not for the essence of his commentary.
I would not like to hear those words referenced to my daughter, wife, sister or mother.
I would also be ashamed if Sandra Fluke was my daughter who felt a compelling need to go before Congress and the whole world and plead that she wanted the government to pay for birth control.
She was asking this for a friend. If what she now says is true, the expenditure is for valid medical reasons, not birth control. The news story is a little suspect.
It is her personal choice and should be her personal expense. It may be her right to choose and she will eventually have to answer for that, but I do not believe I should have to support that choice by paying for it.
While Limbaugh should be vilified for the way he said what he said, we should likewise not be celebrating Fluke as a role model for our daughters, sisters, wives or mothers. She is not a hero.

It's official. I am in love with the Kobo eReader. I never thought it would happen. I've always said I love real books. I love the feel; I love the smell; I love the pretty covers; I love browsing the library to pick them up. But I now have a new love and it's a little magical tablet that holds all my favorite books in a pretty little case that I can read anywhere.
The funny thing is I don't even have one of my own. My mom lent me hers and I can't get enough of it. It's so easy to read it anywhere! While you walk, at the gym, lying in bed. I don't get dizzy or lose my place or have my fingers cramp up. And I don't even feel like I'm looking at a screen. It's madness! If you have yet to experience its glory – you simply must – whether you have to beg, borrow or steal!

A breeze makes the water shimmer in the late afternoon sun, and leaves are in fall color.
It's a place where the cares, worries and sounds of everyday life are far away, or so they seem.
In reality, this idyllic scene is in the middle of Jackson and only a few short minutes from downtown. This hidden wilderness is at Mayes Lake in LeFleur's Bluff State Park.
Will Murray and Andy Segrest, both of Jackson, had a guys' camping trip with their combined five young sons a couple of weeks ago.
"I grew up here and didn't know about it," Segrest said. "It's in the middle of Jackson and nobody realizes it."
Located off Lakeland Drive across from Smith-Wills Stadium, the campground and lake go seemingly unnoticed by the thousands of motorists who pass by each day.
Murray was one of them, until recently.
"About two months ago I decided I was going to drive back there and see what's there," Murray said. "I was amazed at how nice it is and it is so close to home."
Segrest and Murray said they can leave their homes and be at the park gates in two minutes.
The pair had previously camped at Roosevelt State Park in Morton with friends and church groups, but noted it is farther away.
The proximity has a special appeal for these two dads.
"With the kids being so young, if something happens, we're minutes from the house," Murray said.
With their dome tents pitched behind him, Segrest said the season and location are perfect.
"When we woke up ... I was really struck by how beautiful it is this time of year and we're right here on the water," Segrest said.
The cost of pitching a tent for quick getaway is budget friendly.
"We cooked chicken and wild rice over the fire last night for about $10 and had chicken left over for chicken and biscuits," said Murray, pointing to his Dutch oven sitting next to a campfire.
That, coupled with the $18 nightly fee, make a weekend trip affordable.
At another campsite, Nikki Johnson of Laurel spent the weekend with her husband and another couple.
"You don't feel like you're in the middle of Jackson," said Johnson. "Being out here, I became unstressed almost immediately."
Her husband, Tony Johnson, couldn't believe such opposite worlds could exist so close together.
"They sent me for ice and it's four-lane traffic and really busy less than a mile from here," he said. "You come back here and it's a different world. Everybody's laid back and you don't even hear the traffic."
Fellow camper Rena Register, also of Laurel, said they picked LeFleur's Bluff State Park because it had a nine-hole golf course, but when they saw how beautiful the camp area and lake were, no one wanted to leave.
Pointing to her inflatable bed by the water, Nikki Johnson laughingly said, "See my air mattress? That's where I have been laying for a day and a half."
While Register and Nikki Johnson had spent weekends in a tent in their college days, this was new for Tony Johnson who said he had only camped in RV's and pop-up campers.
Talking about his first tent experience, Tony Johnson said, "It's a lot less expensive, there is less to do and it is more relaxing."
While tent camping is typically inexpensive, Register said it can be done for next to nothing.
By keeping her eyes open at a discount store, she was able to pick up almost everything they needed for less than $100, including sleeping bags, air mattresses, camp stove, a large name-brand tent and other items.
Register said it can be done even more cheaply.
"You have almost all of this stuff at your house already," she said.
Nikki Johnson added, "What you don't have, someone you know has it and you can borrow it."
Mike Stepp, park manager, said first-time campers at LeFleur's always have the same reaction.
"They're amazed this park is in the middle of Jackson because they feel like they are in the middle of nowhere."
The park has 28 developed campsites with water and electricity, nearby bathroom facilities and almost unlimited primitive camping opportunity.
