Southern Louisiana has made a pretty good showing recently for MicroBrews:
NOLA Brewing
Heiner Brau
Covington Brewhouse
Abita Brewery
Tin Roof (Baton Rouge)
And I guess you can still count good ol' Dixie

I think Netflix is a good season or two behind on most TV networks, but I may be wrong.

maintain a deep draft lake in the old Mississippi channel?
FWIW, the Mississippi is not only important as a navigable deep draft waterway, it is also a source of fresh water for nearly a million people in south LA. A reroute of the river would leave a brackish water bayou inthe old river channel, which would not be a suitable source of drinking water
re: Answer me this about the Morganza structure???
Posted by Dumplin on 5/13/11 at 9:09 pm to FLObserver
These are some of the more subsistent, least wealthy people in the nation, so it is hard for me to judge what circumstances led to them living in a well known flood zone, whether it be economic opportunity suited to someone of their particular (possibly limited) skill set, the cost of living in the area, etc. With that said, I like to think if ever I was going to own a home in a similar area I would have the forethought to build my house elevated to survive a flood senario and I would keep an emergency fund to account for any losses and costs I would have to deal with in the event of a flood. I hate the "Blame the Victim" attitude that many people are taking, but the harsh fact of the matter is that the consequences of not opening the spillway would have a much greater social and financial cost, and would likely end in these communities being flooded anyway, albeit to a lesser degree.
They just had an emergency alert system notification of the announcement. When I heard the emergency tone come over the TV I thought it was gonna be reporting a levee failure or something.

Which heavily relies on Louisiana agriculture
The port of New Orleans handles a large part of the agricultural yield of the entire midwest and plains region. Louisiana and US agriculture will still exist even after flooding a strip of land in south Louisiana. Not to trivialize the impact on those that live and work in that region, but their hardship will be much less significant for the US and state economy than a major failure of the levee system in New Orleans or a divergence of the river into a new course.
quote:
to say the port and tourism are a larger part of the economy is assinine and ignorant.
Agriculture is undoubtedly a large part of LA's economy's, but the thing to consider is the percentage of LA agriculture that will be affected by the morganza spillway. While we would lose a small percentage of ag for a period of time, a catastrophic failure of the river control structure would almost entirely wipe out the port and tourist aspects of our economy. FYI, if you include the total port activity along the river between NOLA and BR, it is the most active port complex on the planet. The scale of a loss of tourism and the port will be much larger than the loss of farmland isolated to the morganza flood plain.

When this was happening I could usually move (though I didn't really want to). Lately I have experienced actual sleep paralysis. Since I'm usually dazed and half-awake when it happens, it took a couple of occurrences for me to register what was happening. Definitely not fun, especially when you're home alone.

The portal and hooded figure lost me. I get really freaked out by the subtle, mind-trick kind of stuff. The "in your face" stuff loses the creepy factor.
