A recreational fishing license is a requirement for anglers in every state. While sport fishing license requirements differ by state, they are all based on protecting endangered species, environments and anglers. Thus, anglers must obtain a recreational fishing license if they are fishing for sport in the United States. Additionally, they should be familiar with specific types of licenses such as recreational saltwater licenses or licenses for freshwater areas.
Because a game and fish fishing license enables anglers to fish in public and some private waters in each U.S. state, they must understand how to acquire and maintain their licenses. For instance, a temporary fishing license can cost from a few dollars to $100. However, annual and lifetime licenses are also issues in several states. To learn more about a license's eligibility requirements, types and costs, read the sections below.

Who needs a fishing license?
All anglers partaking in fishing activities including, but not limited to, casting, net and spearfishing techniques require a recreational or commercial fishing license in order to catch fish legally. However, each state has different age limits for recreational fishing licenses, and certain younger anglers may need to be accompanied by a licensed angler. For instance, in Florida and in California, children younger than 16 years of age are exempt from having to obtain a fishing license.
What are the requirements to get a fishing license?
Anglers who wish to obtain a saltwater or freshwater fishing license must meet age, residency and educational requirements that vary according to each state. Additionally, fishing enthusiasts must be able to afford the recreational or commercial fishing price to be issued a license. Below are a few examples regarding license requirements in different states:
- Residents must present their driver's licenses upon application as a form of identification and proof of residency. This is the case in several states, including New York.
- Residents older than 65 years of age may be required to purchase a lifetime license, such as in the case of Mississippi.
What are the types of fishing licenses?
The types of recreational fishing licenses available to eligible anglers may feature different validity periods and costs. Common types of sport fishing licenses are as follows:
- Annual resident or non-resident freshwater fishing license – An annual freshwater fishing license allows anglers to fish in habitats such as streams, lakes, swamps and rivers for one year.
- Annual resident or non-resident saltwater fishing license – An annual saltwater fishing license allows anglers to fish in environments such as open oceans, seashores, shallow seas, estuaries, ocean depths and coral reefs for one year.
- Lifetime license – A lifetime license allows anglers to fish within states lines for the rest of their lives. In states such as Mississippi, anglers older than 65 years of age are required to obtain a lifetime license.
- Temporary or short-term license – In Florida, three-day and seven-day licenses are offered to anglers. These fishing licenses are particularly suitable for nonresidents.
- Commercial fishing permits – A commercial fishing license is issued to anglers and fisheries who intend on catching fish and exchanging their catches for monetary or non-monetary amounts.
- Combination game and fish licenses – For fishermen who are also interested in hunting, states such as Texas offer combination licenses that give individuals authorization to hunt and fish within the state.
What types of fish can I catch with a fishing license?
The main purpose of a commercial or recreational fishing license is to allow anglers to catch fish legally. Thus, fish that can be caught with fishing licenses may include various freshwater and saltwater species such as trout, salmon and bass. However, sport and commercial fishing licenses often restrict anglers to catching a limited number of fish that varies depending on the species. For instance, only 20 yellow perch can be caught per day in Minnesota.
What types of fish require special fishing permits or tags?
While a sport fishing license allows fishing enthusiasts to catch most types of fish, additional documents must be obtained by anglers in order to catch certain species. For example, threatened or endangered species such as sharks require anglers and fisheries to acquire permits or tags in addition to a basic commercial or recreational fishing license.
How long is a fishing license valid for?
The validity periods for a recreational fishing license vary depending on the type of fishing license. For example, most lifetime game fishing licenses do not expire once purchased. On the other hand, temporary licenses are only valid for the dates printed on the license, which may be a period of days, weeks or months. When purchasing a fishing license, anglers must ask about the validity periods of the licenses and make sure that they will be fully licensed throughout the duration of their fishing trips.
How much does a fishing license cost?
The periods for which commercial or recreational fishing licenses will last typically affect their cost. Be mindful of the following saltwater and freshwater fishing license cost throughout different states:
- A temporary fishing license in New York can cost between $5 and $12 for residents, and between $10 and $28 for nonresidents.
- An annual fishing license for residents in Florida costs $17. For nonresidents, it costs $47.
- A combination hunting and fishing license in Texas costs $60.
- A commercial fishing license in California costs $141.11 for residents and $417.75 for nonresidents.
Are fishing license discounts available?
Most states offer discounts on a saltwater and freshwater fishing permit for seniors, children or military servicemembers. For instance, active duty members of the Armed Forces are eligible to obtain a combination hunting and fishing license in Nevada for $15. However, several states only issue recreational or commercial fishing license discounts to state residents.
Where can I get a fishing license?
Anglers can get commercial and recreational fishing licenses from local fishing license offices. Additionally, most states provide online ordering options for various types of recreational and commercial fishing permits and licenses.
How can I replace my fishing license?
Replacing a recreational fishing license involves completing an application form and paying a nominal fee. For instance, in California, the cost of a duplicate sport fishing license is $10.80. In general, license replacement services are offered at various licensing locations. Thus, anglers do not have to visit the same office where they originally obtained their licenses in order to obtain a replacement.

Ґюху 48 - Were I in England now, as once I was, and had but this fish painted, not a holiday fool there but would give a piece of silver: there would this monster make a man; any strange beast there makes a man: when they will not give a doit to relieve a lame beggar, they will lay out ten to see a dead Indian.■
Ґюху 171 - Is she kind as she is fair ? for beauty lives with kindness : Love doth to her eyes repair, To help him of his blindness ; And, being help'd, inhabits there. Then to Silvia let us sing, That Silvia is excelling ; She excels each mortal thing Upon the dull earth dwelling ; To her let us garlands bring.■
Ґюху 6 - If by your art, my dearest father, you have Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them : The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch, But that the sea, mounting to the welkin's cheek, Dashes the fire out.■

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears, and sometimes voices That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again : and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open and show riches Ready to drop upon me, that, when I waked, I cried to dream again.■

Ґюху 85 - And let those that play your clowns, speak no more than is set down for them : for there be of them, that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh too ; though, in the mean time, some necessary question of the play be then to be considered: that's villainous; and . shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it.■

Odzala-Kokoua is one of the world's remaining large intact forest systems, home to thousands of forest elephant and the critically endangered western lowland gorilla.
Odzala is one of the most botanically diverse areas in the world, with more than 4,400 plant species recorded, including distinctive groves of Senegal date palm which are dotted along the Mambili River banks. The southern part of the park is predominantly savannah-forest mosaic and forest galley ecosystem. The centre is dominated by marantaceae forest, while further north, the park is covered by mature rain forest. Numerous clearings, called 'baies' provide opportunities to observe wildlife more clearly than the dense vegetation of the tropical forest. The Ekoutou escarpment (80 km²) with its lichen forest, and Djoua swamp in the north-west of the park, remain some of the most remote areas in which only a few scientific expeditions have been conducted.
Odzala's biodiversity is nothing less than exceptional, with more than 1,000 bird species, it has been recognised as an Important Bird Area by Birdlife International. It is also home to 400 mammal species and in excess of 10,000 varieties of plants. While it is best known for its gorilla and chimpanzee populations, there are numerous other species resident in the park, including thousands of forest elephant.
Forest elephant and buffalo are found in the forests of Odzala, along with healthy populations of bongo antelope, sitatunga, bushbuck, giant forest hog and red river hog, numerous duiker species from the large yellow-backed duiker to the tiny Bates's pygmy antelope and many others species, too numerous to mention.
Primate species
The western lowland gorilla and chimpanzee are amongst the most well-known, but other noteworthy primate species include the black and white colobus, two species of mangabey and the De Brazza's monkey.
Odzala is the only place in the greater Tridom areas where spotted hyaena can still be found. Also home to numerous cat species, including golden cat in two different colour phases and serval in three different colour phases.
Insectivorous Mammals
Three species of pangolin (including the giant pangolin) and aardvark are resident in Odzala.
Bird Species
More than 400 avian species have been recorded. Among these are the grey parrot, which occurs abundantly in roosts comprising thousands of individuals. Other notable species include the grey-necked rockfowl, forest swallow, Zenker's honeyguide, Gosling's apali, black-eared ground thrush, grey ground thrush, eastern wattled cuckoo-shrike, Verreaux's batis, Bates' weaver, yellow-capped weaver and Rachel's malimbe.
Insect Species
More than 340 species recorded within the boundaries of the park, with an additional 301 recorded in the periphery of the park.
At least 26 butterfly species are believed to be endemic to the area and 2005 saw the discovery of a new species, Bebearia ivindoensis.
Threatened Species
While the Tridom areas supports the largest forest elephant population in Central Africa, the species is under threat as a result of poaching pressure. Many elephant were killed before African Parks took over the management of the park, but effective law enforcement has resulted in many of the remaining individuals moving back into the park area.
Gorilla numbers have also declined over the last decade due to the fatal Ebola epidemic which devastated the park since 2004. It is however hoped that with the increased security of the park, this downward trend can be reversed. The park provides safe harbour for approximately 22,000 western lowland gorillas.
Threatened birds included the black-casqued and Bycanistes species of hornbill, both of which are considered vulnerable, as well as several raptors such as the crowned hawk eagle.

Hospital statistics show the number of outpatient appointments for those with such a diagnosis has soared since the onset of the credit crunch.
Experts said some of the rise could be explained by an expansion in counseling services, and an increase in mental health problems triggered by financial uncertainties and job stresses.
But others said doctors had become too quick to "medicalise" feelings of distress – and to label people as suffering from psychiatric disorders when their anxiety was a normal response to pressures they were facing.
The statistics, from the NHS Information Centre, show that the number of outpatient appointments for patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders and panic attacks rose from 3,754 to 17,470 between 2006/2007 and 2010/11.
Over the same period, cases admitted to hospital rose by one third, with 8,756 in-patients with such a diagnosis.

Every previously emo or scene kid—and anyone who was friends with them—is familiar with Fall Out Boy's second album From Under the Cork Tree. In fact, this album has come to be, almost universally known as the go-to emo soundtrack. It's impossible to listen to the catchy, classic tunes such as "Dance, Dance," or "Sugar, We're Going Down" and not be transported back to the awkward years of junior high or high school, and despite the embarrassing moments everyone experienced back in 2005, the album also brings back a happy nostalgia.
Released May 3, 2005, From Under the Cork Tree brought a breakthrough success to the band, earning Fall Out Boy their first top ten ranking album on Billboard Charts. Cork Tree secured its spot as FOB's longest charting, as well as best-selling album, however success did not come so easily for some members of the band.
In February of 2005, bassist and lyricist, Pete Wentz, was overcome with anxiety regarding releasing a second album and nearly overdosed on Ativan anxiety medication after an emotional breakdown. "It was overwhelming," said Wentz after his failed suicide attempt. "I was either totally anxious or totally depressed. It is particularly overwhelming when you are on the cusp of doing something very big and thinking that it will be a big flop. I was racked with self-doubt."
The conflicting, anxiety ridden emotions Wentz experienced leading up to his suicide attempt are captured through the rather obviously titled song, "Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year." Throughout the song, we can see the struggle within Wentz leading up to the album's release as he continually expresses how the success or failure of the band's career rests almost solely on this album. Listening to this song, one can almost hear the anxiety in the lyrics "Are we growing up, or just going down? It's a matter of time until we're all found out."
The astounding success Fall Out Boy has accomplished since the release of From Under the Cork Tree has not gone unnoticed and is constantly credited to the band's loyal and devotional fans. Wentz's openness of his own battles with anxiety and depression has allowed fans to relate to the songs and connect with individuals whose stories are similar to their own. "I think – especially in America – that people don't realize it's OK to feel down and sad sometimes. It is part of the cycle of feeling OK. Sometimes it's hard to look into the mirror and be OK with the person looking back," said Wentz. Through this type of connection, FOB has gained an incredible fan base that is dedicated to the continuing success of the band that has changed numerous of individuals' lives.
"There is an honesty in our music and I think people appreciate it," said Wentz. "We have never dumbed down to teenagers by writing songs about being in high school and having your locker jammed. We have been thoroughly honest about what out intentions are. We have always written what we are really feeling. We have always had the respect that they are going to figure out these songs for themselves and come up with their own interpretations."

Wait, President Obama Doesn't Always Wear His Wedding Ring?
The reason will make your heart melt.
If Barack and Michelle Obama's relationship doesn't give you major #couplegoals, that's about to change. Probably one of the most adorable couples to ever grace the Oval Office, the pair has been spotted sharing so many sweet moments in the last eight years. But recently, it was noted that the president doesn't always wear his wedding ring. Don't worry: The reason is actually pretty understandable.13 Times Michelle and Barack Obama Were the Definition of (First) #CoupleGoals
It seems that Barack doesn't wear his wedding band because he wants to keep it safe so it will never be lost. As the President of the United States, he's constantly meeting people and shaking hands. In this video captured by The Washington Post, Barack is seen taking his wedding band off and slipping it into his pocket before shaking hands with the public. Sorry, Secret Service agents, the POTUS doesn't trust you enough to keep his most precious possession safe. Michelle would be so proud!
The First Couple just celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary. On Tuesday, when asked about his post-presidency plans at an ESPN event at North Carolina A&T University, Barack said, "I am going to sleep for two weeks and then I am going to take Michelle on a very nice vacation."
We hope they can finally relax and enjoy-and that Obama's ring can stay put, for good.Sasha Obama Will Be a Bridesmaid for an Upcoming White House Wedding

Matched with a guy on Tinder in January. He was great we then talked on snapchat for months I was away at school. I came back and he asked when we will hang out so I told him I'm not sure what my plans are but I will let you know when I'm free. I would let him know when I'm free, I'd ask him out but he would say sorry I have a family event this weekend, another time my Grandma died. Our timing has not matched up in our schedules but he will still flirt with me. I basically made it obvious I would like to meet him. We've planned what we will do in advance as in activity. After months and months of snapchatting, he gave me his number. I texted him the next day. We talked about the gym because we both like fitness. Flirting and light convo. He asks the next day when are we going on a date? I gave him a time where he said that might be a huge possibility. Me being mad says: what about a definite one? He said well my friend who's mom just died will be in town so I can't make a promise. +
eel751ParticipantSeptember 15, 2018 at 2:24 pm #184390
I said ok I understand. He apologizes and says he still wants to meet face to face. So I said what about the 22nd? He says let's do it. I said ok do you want to set a time now or closer? (I changed the game by asking this to see what happens next) he said we can plan closer and if it's too cold for mini golf we can plan something else. I said ok, sounds good. Where he replies: you sound good! Like haha weird flirting so I said hahaha and he's said why did you laugh? I lied and said: idek sorry I'm falling asleep right now. And he said awww that's so cute!! It was around 9pm and I was tired. I didn't read his message until the afternoon the next day. He hasn't contacted me since. I'm hoping he reaches out since he canceled but I'm not sure if I should ask if we're still on for Saturday and a time. I'm not good with dating and I'm afraid of looking desperate but he is the one texting back immediately.
Jd2426ParticipantSeptember 18, 2018 at 3:10 am #184500
To me, it sounds like this one is a waste of time. If it was going to happen it would have happened already. Limit contact and maybe you can force the date that way. Just see how it goes.
dashingscorpioParticipantSeptember 20, 2018 at 9:45 am #184812
Just send him a quick update mentioning the weather prediction for the weekend.
If weather looks great for golf tell him you're looking forward to it and if not make another suggestion.
Either way if he backs out write him off.
It shouldn't take several months for two people to meet in person if there's a genuine interest on both sides.
neptuneandtheseaParticipantOctober 30, 2018 at 6:47 pm #188218
I'm sorry but it sounds like he isn't really interested. If he really wanted to meet you, he would, no excuses about dead grandmas.
siviParticipantOctober 31, 2018 at 4:38 am #188222
Maybe he just wants someone to flirt with. I think you should end it.
miaebParticipantNovember 1, 2018 at 5:43 am #188387
I'd definitely just lay low for a while, if he wants you he knows where to find you and by the time you've waited for him to get in touch youll probably be over it anyways!
jamie693ParticipantNovember 1, 2018 at 6:54 pm #188576
I agree. If he were keen he would make the time.

This past February I travelled to Puerto Rico with twenty middle schoolers and one other adult chaperone. We had a chilly winter in Philadelphia, so the sunshine was welcomed, despite the fact that chaperoning school trips is nothing short of e x h a u s t i n g. I had been on this exact same trip exactly two years ago and it was nice to know what to expect and also to see what had changed – the food stops were on-point this time around! We spent the first day exploring Ponce, a city in the southwest part of the island. It happened to be carnaval there, so we got to experience the excitement first hand. After that we spent the morning at Boquerón beach and then we were off to Fajardo to swim in the bioluminescent bay! This was by far my favorite part of the trip! We took a boat to a small lagoon and once the sun went down we all jumped into the water and swam underneath the boat to see the dinoflagellates light up around us. Swimming at night (especially in the ocean with scary creatures) is not my favorite thing to do, but it was well worth it. The next day we explored El Yunque – the rainforest – in the northeastern part of the island and we heard lots of coquís singing in the background. That afternoon we skipped the beach because it was raining. Our last day was spent exploring Old San Juan. We visited El Castillo San Cristóbal and took a walking tour of the city. Looking back at my old posts of Puerto Rico, I noticed that I took photos of the same buildings…weird! This was the fourth time visiting Puerto Rico and every time I go to this tiny little island, I fall in love a little bit more. The food, the warm people, the sun, the sand, the colonial architecture…it's a pretty magical place! See for yourself:

Puerto Rico // Favorite Photos
I heard something recently that said people who go to a museum and don't take pictures actually learn and remember more from the experience. At times, I find it hard to balance being in the moment and wanting to whip out my camera to try to capture it. So I try to live first, snap second, but sometimes that leaves me wishing I had taken more. One regret I have about this trip is the lack of pictures I took. I often scroll through my old pictures for fun, and so my mission for our next vacation is to follow the rule of live then snap, but keep the camera out for a bit longer.
I also hate being that American tourist. You know, the one who pushes people out-of-the-way to get a good shot. Or the one who has the big map out and is silently screaming, "PICK POCKETS COME HERE! TAKE ALL MY MONEY AND IMPORTANT PERSONAL DOCUMENTS." I also like to be respectful of the places and people I visit. Maybe they don't want to show up on a random blog on the internet in their bikini, you know?
But, I do love to take pictures. It's an artistic challenge that seems like it would be so easy, but it's actually really, really hard to take a good photo. I usually have one in about 500 photos that I'm proud of (no exaggeration). Someday I would love to get a really nice camera and maybe take some classes.
Here's a sneak peek at some of my favorite shots from the trip. More details to come soon!
Adventure Awaits!
In a very short amount of time Dan and I will be jetting off to Puerto Rico. I can hardly contain my excitement. Like, I want to jump out of my seat just thinking about it. I always get this feeling right before I leave for a trip … excitement that brings me back to my childhood. I get butterflies, I have perma-grin, I go into "go" mode, as Dan calls it – I can't stop buzzing around the house trying to get things done…packing, shopping, picking out outfits, reading our travel book, googling our hotel, the list goes on.
I have been to Puerto Rico twice before, once with a couple of friends from college and last year with some students. Below are some pictures from my first time to the island this weekend to help me get EVEN MORE excited! My first trip was purely for beach relaxation and my second was with 25 middle school kids. Both were wonderful experiences but I am insanely excited to travel, explore, and be adventurous. And I'm the most excited to share that part of me with Dan. Travel is part of who I am. It's taught me about life, the world, helped me shape my morals and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I crave to see new places in the world and to really get to know a place. I'm also excited, of course, to get in some serious beach time with my second book for the month of March, the Divergent series and hopefully one more (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is on my list). Last but not least, I can't wait to speak Spanish. It's a beautiful language and learning new words and phrases gets me all excited!!! I'm a nerd like that.
Here's a sneak peek at my last trip to Puerto Rico. All are unedited and were taken with my iPhone. Forgot my camera charger last time…oops!

End of an Era – I Got New Shoes (or: No Mo' Crocs)
Most of you know that my signature footwear for the last few years has been a pair (several, actually) of orange Crocs. Yes, they're ugly. I wasn't making a fashion statement, because I have no fashion. They were comfy, yes, but not everyone knew the real reason I wore them (along with white socks): they were my "RSS Evangelism Shoes". People would hear that and say "what's RSS?" and I'd say "I'm glad you asked!" 🙂I've always like quirky, distinctive shoes. The white-and-orange of the universal RSS feed icon is just the latest riff on the theme. But all good things must come to an end. There have been fervent opponents to my footwear. Cami Kaos even staged a shoe intervention last time I was on Strange Love Live. Cami, and everyone else who hated my Crocs will be thrilled to know that I have new shoes:
Converse All-Stars, in white and orange. Natch.
You see, it was always more about the white-and-orange than it was about wearing plastic foam clogs. The RSS Shoes have evolved. 🙂
I still have the Crocs, and I'll likely wear them from time to time (they're GREAT to fly in). But I thought at least a few of you would be pleased with my new kicks. And I'm sure you'll find something new to harrass me about. 🙂
The best part is, I can still tell people "look for the guy in the bright orange shoes" to pick me out of a crowd.

Most, if not all of the listings that show up are right there – REI, Red Brick Pizza, Thai Elephant.
I had to walk around a bit to get them to line up right, but I suspect that's to do with the tolerances of GPS and address listings.

I got Snow Leopard. And I think I broke my elbow.
See and download the full gallery on posterous
Stopped by the Apple Store at Pioneer Place downtown, to pick up Snot Leopard, and to check out the festivities. There was a line about 25 deep, but what surprised me was it was the line for people buying Macs, iPhones, and iPods. The Snow Leopard line only had one guy in it, and moved fast.
The highlight of the day came as I was leaving the mall. I saw my train coming, and was hurrying to catch it. I tripped on the stairs and faceplanted, hard. I landed mostly on my left hand/elbow. Pain. I think I was in mild shock on the train (yes, I made it) – almost fainted, felt like I was going to plurk, cold sweat, etc
Nothing was obviously broken, and I could move it ok, but as the day has progressed, it has stiffened up and swolen. I've iced it, but I think I'm going to gave to break down and go have it looked at.
All of which means I'm not installing and playing with Snow Leopard yet, and that hurts more than my elbow! 🙂

Update: Dr. says elbow's just a strain, no bony injury. So that's good. Aleve and ice packs a few times a day for me! 🙂

We are raised up very high.
Wolf Parade
Same Ghost Every Night
As part of my ongoing effort to live in the past I am going to write a running commentary review of Wolf Parade's 2005 Apologies to Queen Mary. This Montreal band, formed in literally three weeks in 2003, blends Radiohead-esque sounds with Canadian indie rock sensibilities. At times I certainly feel like I'm hearing Johnny Greenwood et al. without Thom Yorke out front. On to the music:
You Are Runner And I Am My Father's Son is a nice introduction to the band and the album. The vocals are quite distinctive and remind me of Modest Mouse. Perhaps not coincidentally it was Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock that brought the band into the Sub Pop fold. This song lays on top of a repeating drum pattern that persists throughout most of the song. The guitars would be at home on early U2 or Peter Gabriel.
The next song, Modern World, is introduced seamlessly from the previous track. I'm not in love with the modern world. The song is somewhat of an anthem about life in our world. A dirty piano sound runs through the verses while the chorusy bit is more ethereal. One thing about this band is that I often struggle to understand what they are singing, much like The Verve. I wonder if it's intentional distortion of an issue with my hearing.
Grounds for Divorce starts out like a Clash song at least as far as guitar tone goes. Quickly we are treated to some fun synth (a mainstay of current indie rock). Random album fact, apparently the title of this disc refers to an incident on the actual Queen Mary ocean liner. I don't think I've ever had an incident in a public place. Maybe something is wrong with my life. This song breaks down into a delightful guitar synth outro that lasts about a minute.
One of the great features of Apologies to Queen Mary is that there is no down time. The tracks slam into each other in a pleasing way. We Built Another World follows the winning formula of synth and guitar. We are also trated to some nice back and forth harmony in the middle of the song. Bad things happen in the night.
This album was shortlisted for the inaugural Polaris Music Prize in 2006. I'm not surprised because it embodies all the principles of good indie Canadian rock, and is outstanding musically.
Fancy Claps is the most familiar song for me. It appeared on a mix CD that lived in my car stereo for about 2 years. Coincidentally the length of the relationship I had with a huge Wolf Parade fan. For awhile, Fancy Claps was Wolf Parade to me. I absolutely love the harmonies in this song. They almost aren't what is traditionally known as vocal harmonizing but rather its two abrasive voices blending to create an enjoyable sound. When the clapping comes in and the keys start to solo out the song I smile. I love what I'm hearing.
Suddenly the album takes a turn. The evening has descended on the album. Same Ghost Every Night is slower and more understated than anything we've been treated to so far. At times this could be a Weezer song. The band, while maintaining a firm grip on indie reality, detours a little into a mesh of almost carnival sounds and rock & roll. I don't think I've expressed that idea very well, but if you listen to the song I think you'll get it.
The last song ends like a natural break so I will pause now for the evening and bring you part II of this review tomorrow.

Jane Lake and Abortion!
Okay, lets get it over with. The most controversial subject on this planet, and yet to me it is completely straightforward.
Scientists have known that life begins at conception since the late 1800's. That isn't my opinion or even an opinion at all. It is like saying the Earth revolves around the sun. DUH! Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood) hoped to use abortion to eliminate undesirables. She was one of the most dangerous racists this planet has ever known. She manipulated women, politicians, churches, and businesses to ultimately kill tens of millions of innocent lives, to this very day!
So anyone that says that abortion is anything but taking a human life, and anything but harmful to women is:
a: lacking morality
b: lacking intelligence
c: brainwashed by Planned Parenthood and the like.
d: completely misinformed
e: cowardly
I know these are strong words, but abortion kills more people than wars, the death penalty, and most diseases.
I wish we could go back in time and stop Ms. Sanger, but it is too late. Like this countries growing awareness of the evils of slavery, we will become deprogrammed about abortion as well as time goes on.
Why? Because we ultimately know inside of us what is right vs. wrong, and at the end of the day right always wins!

Looking for a road trip that will leave you breathless? We picked some of the world's greatest roads some of them are downright scary, some feature amazing scenery and some of the routes are so remote that you might be the only traveler. We also considered roads that were unique for their construction such as the Atlantic Road in Norway.
The Atlantic Road at 5 miles in length but isn't the longest but its remarkable enough to be the 9th largest tourist draw in Norway. The route won the title "Norwegian Construction of the Century", in 2005 and was named by The Guardian (a British newspaper) as one of the world's best road trips. The route traverses the low islands between Molde and Kristiansund. The Storseisundet Bridge is the tallest and highlights the artistic building techniques of the highway. Some visitors come to the road in the fall to witness the dramatic storms that pound the region.
The Dades Valley Road is a stunning drive through the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. As if the desert landscapes and steep cliffs were not enough to occupy the senses the highway passes hundreds of ancient Kasbahs. These ancient fortified dwellings served as places where local leaders could retreat in times of attack from roving bands and foreign invaders. The length of the road through the spectacular canyon is 35kms (22-mile).
Highway 12 stretches approximately 65 miles from Torrey to Escalante in Utah. The road reaches over 3000m as it climbs to the summit of Boulder Mountain where visitors can see the expanse of the desert beyond and the entirety of Capital Reef National Park. The real highlight of the road is between Boulder and Escalante where the road traverses the slick rock and barren exposures of Navajo Sandstone before descending to the Escalante River.
The Pan-American Highway from Lime to the border at Tacna traverses some of the driest desert in the world. The only villages are seen along the rivers that reach the coastal regions after leaving the Andes. The miles of empty and desolate coastline between Nazca and Camana encourage the traveler onward. The road is not without its mysterious attractions whether it the lines at Nazca or the ruins of Tambo Colorado.
The impressive Mount Fitzroy lies a short distance off Route 40 at the small town of El Chalten. The highway is the longest in Argentina and one of the longest continuous highways in the world. The southern part of the route is a largely unpaved road that travels parallel the eastern slope of the Andes. The distance, remoteness and unequaled scenery of the highway is a draw to adventurers from around the world.
Trollstigen pass with a steep incline of up to 9% and eleven hairpin turns has become a popular tourist attraction in Norway. The pass only reaches an elevation of 850 metres (2,790 ft) but the route up is impressive. At 700 meters drivers can park and use the viewing platforms to catch a glimpse of Stigfossen falls. The road is open from May to October before it is closed for the winter.
The Yungas road which is better known as the Death Road is a 61km (38mi) route connecting La Paz (Boliva) to Coroico. It first climbs and reaches a high point at La Cumbre Pass (4,650m) before descending 1,200m to the town of Corocio. It's a largely a single lane road with no guard rails and sheer cliffs off the side of up to 600m. In the rainy season visibility can be poor in the fog and the road can be muddy and littered with rockfalls. Maybe we should have left this one off the list.

To get everything they wanted for their petite, one-bedroom condominium apartment, this couple turned to out-of-the-box ideas.
Darker furniture colours were chosen for the bedroom to create a relaxing ambiance.
The balcony extends the full length of the home, allowing natural light in.
Interior designer Andrew changed the original glass shower enclosure to a knee-height bath enclosure, which can be used as a bathtub.
The homeowners went to great lengths to find a sofa which matches the dimensions of their kitchen countertop. They eventually found this one at OM. Tableware on dining table, and cushions on sofa, all from Galanga Living.
The black glass backsplash goes well with the wood look laminate of the cabinets, and the white quartz countertop from lquartz. Carving board, from Galanga Living.
Nippon Momento special effects paint adds texture and dimension to the flat walls of this cosy corner.

The Vancouver Canucks lost two defensemen to teams overseas Thursday.
Nikita Tryamkin and Phillip Larsen, who both spent the 2016-17 season with the Utica Comets' parent team, each are joining Russian-based Kontinental Hockey League teams. Tryamkin is returning to Yekaterinburg Automobilist while Larsen signed a two-year deal with Salavat Yulaev.
"We are disappointed Nikita chose to sign in the KHL, but also recognize from what he told us in our exit meetings that this was a family decision first," Canucks General Manager Jim Benning said in a statement. "He has a chance to be an impact player in the NHL and we offered him a two-year extension. But for now he is home, and we will move ahead with building this team with other young players."
This season got off to a slow start for the 22-year-old Tryamkin — who reportedly nixed a stint in the American Hockey League with the Utica Comets — but found his stride the rest of the way. Tryamkin, who at 6-foot-7 and 265 pounds was a towering presence on the blue line, scored nine points in 66 games.
The 27-year-old Larsen had a goal and five assists in 26 games in his first season with Vancouver. He signed with team last summer.
They are the second and third defensemen this week to head overseas after Chad Billins signed with a Swedish Hockey League team. The moves could give opportunities to other players who spent time with the Utica Comets this season. Andrey Peda, a restricted free agent, Ashton Sautner and Jordan Subban, who are both under contract for next season, are possible examples.
Also Thursday, Benning said there was no update with regard to naming a new head coach. The team fired Willie Desjardins at the end of the regular season.
