Sixteen golfers had already taken a chance at making a hole in one before 11 a.m. Saturday at the American Legion during the auxiliary's Hole In One Contest that raises money to help veterans on Pine Island.
Art Kling, who is from Pennsylvania, decided to make a trip to the American Legion Saturday morning to see if he could win the contest by putting a ball in the hole.
"It's quite fun," he said after he hit six golf balls. "I wanted to stop and do this."

Art Kling hit six golf balls Saturday morning at the American Legion to try and make a hole in one across the pond during the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 136 Hole in One Contest.
One by one individuals purchased golf balls for $5 apiece and $1 for each additional ball before they stood at the designated spot in front of the pond.
Charlie Anderson also participated in the contest for the first time this year. Although he did not do as well as he wished, he said he still had a good time.
Anderson said the balls ended up going to the right with some flag high.
"It will take a little time to get it at the pin," he said.
Anderson said the contest is one of the hardest shots in golf because it is a 50 to 60-yard pitch shot that only requires a half swing.
"You have to really judge it," he said. "One of the hardest shots."
Anderson said the contest was a good little tournament for a good cause.
The last tee off took place at 4:45 p.m. Saturday.
The winners of the outing were Rick Halcomb, Butch Waring, Tommy Buckles and Richard Dickman.
Adrienne Bartell, event chair, said the vendors and volunteers help make the event happen every year.
"It's a good cause and a fun day," she said. "It was a great day and I want to thank all those who came out and enjoyed the fun in support of our veterans."
In addition to the hole in one, the event also featured a raffle and a 50/50 drawing.
Big John and Smalltown provided the entertainment for the event.

Yesterday, Blizzard game director Michael Booth posted a new recruitment for his team on personal twitter: "My team is looking for a Lead Producer to help us create Blizzard's next awesome game", with a link to Blizzard official recruitment.
Before joining Blizzard Entertainment on May 2013 as game director of a new game team, Mike Booth was the CEO of Turtle Rock studio, who developed the popular FPS game Counter-Strike and zombie survival shooter Left 4 Dead. He shared credits as one of Counter-Strike programmers and leaded the project of Left 4 Dead. In addition, this team is also looking for 3D Weapons Artist and the description for the job requests that the candidate should have "experience working with a diverse range of equipment, vehicles, and mechanical characters."
It is easy to lead us to the assumption that Blizzard's next game might be a shooter. Just think about the development of Startcraft II. Dustin Browder, the former EA game designer who had a wealth of experience in developing RTS games (Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Command & Conquer: Generals and The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth series), joined Blizzard Entertainment in 2005. After 5 years, he showed off StarCraft II as the game director. Therefore, we have reason to believe that Blizzard is likely to develop a shooter...Read on More

At 10:58 a.m. yesterday morning, Orbital Sciences successfully completed the second launch of its Antares rocket and Cygnus spacecraft from Pad-OA of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
This mission is the first time a spacecraft launched from Virginia will visit the International Space Station.
Antares will deliver the Cygnus spacecraft along with 1,300 pounds of food, clothing and other cargo to the Expedition 37 crew on the International Space Station.
The Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station on Sunday, September 22. Prior to its arrival, Cygnus will perform a series of tests and maneuvers to demonstrate its readiness to rendezvous with the space station. On Sunday, the crew of Expedition 37 will operate the station's 57-foot robotic arm to grapple Cygnus and maneuver it into the docking station.
The purpose of this mission is to demonstrate the capabilities and readiness of Orbital Sciences' cargo delivery system as part of its Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program with NASA. Orbital Sciences successfully completed the inaugural test flight of Antares and Cygnus in April.
Subsequently, Orbital Sciences will carry out eight resupply missions through 2016, delivering approximately 20,000 kilograms of cargo to the International Space Station as part of its $1.9 billion Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.
These resupply missions will aid the crews of the International Space Station in carrying out scientific experiments in a microgravity research lab.
Following the historic LADEE launch just over a week ago, Virginia's leadership in space exploration is evident. Through the MARS facility, Virginia offers one of only four commercial sites approved by the FAA for orbital space launches.

Virginia's new MACH37 Cyber Accelerator recently opened at the Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) in Herndon, Va., just five months after the announcement of its creation.
The MACH37 accelerator program is designed to capitalize on Virginia's expertise in the cybersecurity industry and help launch additional start-up companies developing innovative technology in this area.
The first five companies selected for this program are Cypherpath, Key Cybersecurity Inc., Pierce Global Threat Intelligence, CyberLingua, and Sikernes.
These companies will participate in two 90-day sessions. At the beginning of the first session, they will receive seed funding, followed by introductions to a network of cybersecurity experts and investors to help mentor and develop their products and technology.
At the end of the first 90-day session, the companies will go before a professional panel on Demo Day. If the presentation is successful, selected companies will receive additional funding and be allowed to participate in the second 90-day session.
The MACH37 Cyber Accelerator is modeled after the Y-Combinator, an accelerator program in Silicon Valley that has helped develop more than 460 companies. The MACH37 program helps cybersecurity entrepreneurs bridge the gap between idea generation and commercialization.
The program is named after the escape velocity of Mach 37, the minimum velocity needed to launch passed the earth's gravitational field.
MACH37's location at CIT is in the hub of the Dulles Technology Corridor, providing early stage companies access to a solid pipeline of high-tech employees.
In addition, CIT is partnering with Virginia Tech to develop a cyber test range available to MACH37 companies. This remotely-accessible test center will be located nearby at Virginia Tech's Hume Center for National Security and Technology in Arlington, Va.
The MACH37 Cyber Accelerator is another shining example of how Virginia's public and private institutions partner to create an innovate environment for entrepreneurs to create new products and technology.

At approximately 11:27 p.m. on Friday, September 6, NASA, Orbital Sciences and the Virginia Space Flight Authority launched the LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) Mission from Virginia's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) Pad OB at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
The LADEE Mission accomplishes a number of firsts—it is the first deep space mission to launch from the Wallops Flight Facility, as well as the first payload to launch on the U.S. Air Force's Minotaur V rocket. The Minotaur V launch vehicle was built by Virginia company Orbital Sciences.
The LADEE spacecraft was constructed using Modular Common Spacecraft Bus Architecture, representing a departure from custom design towards assembly production and multi-use design in order to reduce costs.
Upon completing three phasing orbits around the earth, the LADEE spacecraft will enter the moon's orbit through a three-minute Lunar Orbit Insertion maneuver that involves firing the spacecraft's onboard propellant for approximately three minutes.
After being captured by the moon's gravitational field, LADEE will orbit around the moon for a 100-day science phase to collect data and study the lunar atmosphere. The moon's atmosphere is classified as a surface boundary exosphere, a thin layer that is theorized to be the most common type of atmosphere in the universe.
Scientists hope to determine the density, composition and variability of the moon's atmosphere, as well as learn more about the lunar dust environment. Knowledge gained through this mission can be extrapolated to the atmosphere of other planets, including Earth.
With another Antares mission expected to launch in mid-September from the MARS facility, Virginia remains at the forefront of U.S. space exploration. MARS is one of only four commercial sites authorized by the FAA for orbital space launches, and offers an ideal trajectory for earth orbit insertion.

Service Center Metals recently celebrated 10 years of doing business in Prince George County, Va. The ceremony, attended by Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, included a ground-breaking celebration for a second plant at the SouthPoint Business Park location.
Service Center Metals was founded in 2002 by three former Reynolds Metals executives to produce aluminum extruded products. As its name implies, Service Center Metals has chosen to focus exclusively on a unique niche—service center customers.
After weathering the ups and downs of the last 10 years, the company now boasts more than 120 employees and $145 million in revenue. Since its opening, Service Center Metals has produced more than 635 million pounds of extrusions.
The company's expansion includes a compact remelt plant that will be located adjacent to its extrusion plant. Currently, Service Center Metals must ship its aluminum scrap to and from a third-party provider to be remelted. Bringing this process in-house will allow the company to better recycle its scrap materials, as well as serve its customers more quickly and in an environmentally-friendly way.
As a home-grown manufacturing company, Service Center Metals is a strong example of the success entrepreneurs experience when they start a business in the Commonwealth. To learn more about Virginia's innovative business environment, click here.

In its sixth edition of Rich States, Poor States, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) recognized Virginia at No. 5 in its 2013 Economic Outlook ranking.
The Economic Outlook category measures how a state is expected to perform in the future based on 15 policy areas controlled at the state level. The study points out the direct correlation between policy decisions and a state's level of economic competitiveness.
Virginia has historically performed strongly in the Economic Outlook category—in five out of the last six years the Commonwealth has scored in the top five.
Virginia was the only state in the mid-Atlantic to break the top 10.
Rich State, Poor States highlights some of Virginia's pro-growth policies that enabled it to achieve a top ranking. The Commonwealth's pro-growth tax policies, fairness of its legal system, low workers' compensation costs and right-to-work status were among the reasons Virginia's economic outlook remains strong.
In addition, Virginia offers companies a corporate tax rate of six percent that remains unchanged since 1972, electricity costs below the national average, and the second lowest unemployment insurance tax rate in the nation.
Virginia has been providing companies with the right location and resources to succeed for more than 400 years. To learn why the Commonwealth continues to receive top accolades, click here.
Today, VEDP announced the launch of its 'Going Global' initiative as part of its strategy to help Virginia defense companies mitigate the effects of sequestration.
Sequestration is the name for the automatic federal spending cuts that began on March 1 as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, enacted by Congress to resolve the U.S. debt-ceiling crisis. The impact of Sequestration has been less severe than expected—Department of Defense contracts decreased from $56.9 billion in FY2011 to $51.5 billion in FY2012. However, the Commonwealth is the top state for DoD contracts, raising concerns that lost contracts could results in lower revenues for Virginia companies unless they can find new customers.As part of its sequestration mitigation strategy, VEDP is working with Virginia defense companies to help them find those new customers overseas. The receipt of nearly $2 million in federal and state funds will allow VEDP to augment some of its most successful programs already underway within the International Trade division. For example, defense companies will be able to utilize VEDP's Global Network team of in-country consultants from more than 55 countries. Market research services include compiling background information, identifying potential distributors, conducting due diligence, arranging matchmaking appointments with potential partners and customers, assessing competition, and helping companies understand the regulatory environment. VEDP will be able to assist companies with export compliance. Virginia companies participating in this program will receive an export compliance analysis, including guidance on completing a Commodities Jurisdiction Analysis and submitting the required paperwork to the Department of State in compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations.The grant will also allow companies to enhance their marketing and digital presence to target foreign markets through website translation and search engine optimization.VEDP recently released an export guide for defense companies titled Export Opportunities for Virginia's Defense Industry. The guide outlines regulations, processes and strategies specific to the defense industry, and contains marketing and sales best practices for both new and experienced exporters. VEDP's International Trade division offers a wide variety of programs to help Virginia companies succeed in the global marketplace. To learn more, click here.

Patrick Henry Community College (PHCC) began offering tours of its Fab Lab this summer. The Fab Lab is short for digital fabrication laboratory, which gives students and local businesses access to 3D design and prototyping equipment to create new products and inventions.
The Fab Lab concept originated at MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms. In November 2011, PHCC, the New College Institute and Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corporation sponsored a two-week visit from the Mobile Fab Lab of the Carolinas. During that time the lab received more than 300 visits from interested students and community members.
Working with the same partners, PHCC was able to obtain funding from the Virginia Community College System to purchase equipment and establish its own Fab Lab.
Located at the The Artisan Center in Martinsville, the 1600-square-foot Fab Lab houses a Roland MDX 20 mini mill, Roland CAMM-1 Servo GX-24 vinyl cutter, Stratasys uPrint SE Plus FDM 3D printer, Morgan Industries Morgan Press G-100T Injection Molder, Formech 686 Vacuum Former, Universal Laser 4.60, Routermate 4' x 4' CNC router and Torchmate 2' x 4' CNC plasma cutter.
The 10 Dell workstations in the lab offer open source software, which allows entrepreneurs and students to seamlessly continue their work at home or in other locations.
The Fab Lab has generated a lot of interest among students and business partners in the community. Lab Coordinator Matthew Wade estimates the lab has seen more than 100 visitors since its soft launch in April.
The lab will host a grand-opening event this fall to coincide with its first class, a basic manufacturing class that will teach students and entrepreneurs how to use the equipment in the lab to bring their ideas to life.
"Inventors can create designs with our software, use the vinyl cutter and CNC mill to fabricate and carve out a circuit board, and then utilize our 3D printer to produce a working model of their new product idea," said PHCC Lab Coordinator Matthew Wade.
The PHCC Fab Lab is another example of the cutting-edge technology available at Virginia's colleges and universities, helping prepare a strong pipeline of technically-skilled workers. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's recent Enterprising States study, Virginia is the No. 1 state in STEM job concentration and has the No. 1 share of high-tech businesses.

But every once in a while we come across something so mind bogglingly stupid, we just can't believe it. So without any fanfare, we present the first MZONE DUMB COMMENT OF THE WEEK.
It's an easy selection this week. It comes from Sunday's Wrap Up post in which Yost made some comments on the Michigan-Iowa game as well as some of the big games across the country. Then, at 10:09 PDT pure stupidity happened. An anonymous poster wrote the following gem:
If we lose to tOSU again i really think Lloyd should get the boot. Tressel has no trouble beating us at our place, and this year when the two teams are seemingly equal in talent/experience defensively and offensively, there will be no excuse for losing.. except Lloyd.Now let me get this straight. A guy makes changes to his coaching staff, which he is loathe to do, his teams rips through their first eight games with barely a challenge, has the #2 ranked team, and most likely will be 11-0 before facing the #1 team. Pretty impressive if you ask me. But Anonymous at 10:09 isn't impressed. Nope, if Michigan should come up short ON THE ROAD AGAINST THE NEAR UNANIMOUS #1 TEAM, he should be fired. Boy I'd hate to be this guy's kid and bring home a 1590 on my SATs. I'm sure Anonymous 10:09 brings that kind of perfection to his job cleaning out the fryer and mopping the floor.

2013 shaped up to be one of the best years of bow hunting that I have experienced. Once again I decided to head into the backcountry to look for that special bull or buck to bring home, and after spending 4 days sleeping outside my partner and I decided to pack it up and head back to the truck. Activity was slow and even though we saw some nice bulls and a couple nice bucks no opportunities ever presented themselves.
Due to the treacherous way that we had hiked into our backcountry spot, when we hiked out we had to go a completely different way which put us about 9 miles from where we had parked our truck. After a quick phone call to one of my good friends asking him to pick us up, we decided that we would finish out the days hunt by looking for some antelope. When we got picked up it was still early in the afternoon, and we felt that we should have a pretty good chance at finding some antelope to chase around for the remainder of the day.
Before we left the mountains to go search for the speed goats I told my partner that I wanted to check out this one particular area for some mulies, since we were close to the area. The area I had in mind has proven to be a great summer range for some good bucks, and occasionally a bruiser can be found in the area. As we drove the county road stopping every now and then to glass for some deer I suddenly found two deer off in the distance. We could tell that both of them were bucks, but at over 700 yards away, and looking with only our binos I decided that neither of the bucks was what I was looking for. We continued our way through the area and did not find any other deer that caught my attention so we decided to head out in search of the speed goats. As we came back across the two bucks we had already spotted, we decided to get a spotting scope out and take a closer look at the bucks.
As soon as my partner put the spotting scope on the bigger of the two bucks, his tune suddenly changed and he suggested that I come and look through the scope. He tried to tell me that the buck was much nicer than either of us had thought, and he said that if he hadn't drawn a special mule deer permit he would probably go after the buck. When I got behind the spotting scope I couldn't believe that I had almost passed up this buck, and soon realized that the buck would definitely be my biggest buck with a bow.
The buck was in a perfect area for a stalk, the wind was perfect allowing me to get above the buck and try to stalk down on top of him. We quickly worked out our hand signals and I was off heading up the hill. Once I was above the bucks I slipped my boots off and pulled the wool socks up over my pants to try and quiet the loud noises of the dry grass scraping my legs. Once I was directly above the buck I had a small stand of large pine trees to conceal my approach as I descended upon them. I made one last check of my partner with the binos, and all of the sudden I saw my partner doing leg squats over and over again. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what he was doing, as this was definitely not a signal we had worked out.
I cautiously continued moving down through the pine trees and soon found myself at 30 yards from the bigger of the two bucks, and to my surprise the buck was up and feeding. It was clear to me now that my partner was trying to signal to me that the bucks had gotten up. As I stood behind a large bull pine the buck stuck his head into a berry bush and I took advantage of this by stepping out from behind the tree into the wide open. This caught the bucks attention and we had a stare down for about 10 seconds until the buck decided that I was not a threat. I stood there waiting for him to turn broadside, and as soon as he did I drew my bow back. This time the buck pegged me, but little did he know that it was too late and I let the arrow fly. The arrow was true and I pin wheeled the buck right in the boiler room. I was able to watch the buck expire within view, and to say I was elated is an understatement.
The buck ended up being my biggest buck with a bow by a long shot, and I was happy to have the opportunity to take such a great trophy. It's funny how we worked so hard hiking 26 miles in the backcountry looking for animals, and now here we were only 700 yards from the county road with a great buck on the ground. When my partner came up the hill he had my video camera with him and he told me that he was able to get the whole stalk and shot on video, which is great to be able to go back and watch the film over with friends and family. 2013 goes down as being a great year of hunting, one I will not soon forget.

Great story JJ!
Very cool! I like the hat too!
I go to the Mountains to loose my mind and find my soul.
Great buck and story congrats!
My buddy, Chase, and I had been planning an archery hunt in South Dakota and set our sights on the second week in November to be out chasing deer. As I began to finish up my harvest in Kansas, we started to grow a little more nervous about making our November hunt with bad harvest conditions in South Dakota. Luckily, Chase finished picking corn right at the end of October and as the weeks seemed to drag by we finally made it to our hunting grounds in South Dakota.
We were met with windy weather and semi-warm temperatures reaching into the middle 50s during the day. This seemed to make deer sightings a little harder, but with the rut getting started, we knew it was only a matter of time before we started to see deer. The first few days were met with many miles, small bucks, and too many does. We couldn't seem to find a deer over two years old and were starting to look for other places to hunt.
On the fourth morning of the week long hunt, we woke up to a balmy temperature of 7 degrees, calm winds, and a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. Our luck was about to change, just like the weather.
This morning we decided to start hunting in a different spot that we had not hunted ever before. It didn't take long for us to realize that any sort of breeze at 7 degrees is extremely magnified, but we were seeing deer so we pressed on. By the end of the day, we had seen 3 shooters and knew where we were going to be heading in the morning.
The next morning, we found ourselves right in the middle of all of the deer. One network of draws we glassed had over 20 deer in them and two potential shooters. After waiting for the deer to bed down, we made a stalk in on the best deer we had seen. The deer had bedded down with a few more deer that we could see in a very deep cut full of buck brush and hardwood trees. We crept into position with the cover of some scraggly looking sage and waited for the deer to get up for an afternoon snack. After about a 30 minute wait the smaller yearlings began to get up. The first, a spike, stood up 30 yards from us straight downhill. The next, a small fork horn stood up at about 40 yards with a small doe. After a few minutes of milling around, they started to make their way downhill and we knew the big guy had to get up soon.
Within seconds, Chase motioned to me that he could see the deer, but didn't have a shot. I couldn't see the deer because of the sage I was behind, but decided to get my bow ready for the shot. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the deer slowly working its way down the hill to us. I didn't even look at the deer as I kept my eye on my shooting lane between some yucca and sage. As the deer dropped its head to grab a bite, I drew my bow, and held for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, the deer stepped into my shooting lane and I let my arrow fly. This is my second deer with a bow and I couldn't be happier with him.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

Very cool! Thanks for the entry.

Just Right
Colorado is known for trophy mule deer and lots of elk, and muleys are definitely my main interest. This year I picked up a tag in an area that has good public access but high hunting pressure and many of the top bucks are taken each year.
Opening morning found me exploring an area that I learned would be along a migration corridor, but had several roads. The area wasn't as glassable as I had hoped, but I managed to spot close to thirty bucks by the end of the evening hunt. The second day was much the same, although I missed the evening hunt to meet a buddy that was willing to sacrifice his vacation time for my hunt.
We started the third day with coffee and cinnamon rolls and were out on a good vantage before daylight. It seemed like every high spot and point was decorated in hunter orange. Throughout the day we talked to other hunters and the common theme was that most of the buck tags had been filled opening weekend so efforts could be focused on elk.
Learning that, and knowing snow was coming, I had a feeling this already good hunt was only going to improve. If that wasn't enough, it seemed like somebody flipped the rut switch to "on" and that evening we found a number of decent bucks chasing does.
Tuesday was another early start, and we decided to focus on an area I had scouted that was more open and with more country that had to be accessed on foot. Several inches of snow greeted us, and by shooting light it was apparent that glassing through fog and falling snow wasn't going to work. Faced with the decision of whether to hunt with low visibility, we decided to at least explore the ATV trails until the fog lifted. The deer were active and we cut tracks moving into the oakbrush. Visibility was only 200 yards, but I knew a spot where we could glass that short distance to the brushy hillside.
With fresh snow as a backdrop I picked out a nice buck right away. I set up and made the shot just as he was disappearing. Neither of us heard the "whop" of a solid hit, but I felt like I had done my part. After a short trail, I had my buck in hand.
Most people are able to appreciate nature's beauty, but there's something about walking up to an animal you've just killed amid falling snow and stunning scenery that can't be fully described in words or caught on camera. The hunt hadn't gone exactly like I planned, and the buck wasn't the giant deer I had dreamed of, but in the moment it was just right.
Persistence Pays off!!!
By Geno Savini
This year started out the same as the past 4 years. I drew my junior Nevada deer tag. I found this new hunting spot from tips and scouring Google earth. Opening evening I found myself searching the draws and drainages. I did end up finding over 40 bucks, and several 160-170 class bucks during the trip. On the last day of my week long excursion, I had got in position to get an arrow into my first buck. The bucks were on the trail no more than 20 yards away. I decided to take a 3x4 instead of trying to wait for the 5x4 that would land somewhere in the 170's. I drew back, but the buck moved. He was broadside, I decided he was around 35 yards and put my 30 pin right on the top of the lungs. I guessed wrong, I sent the arrow right through the flesh on the top of his back, and was never seen again. I tracked him for 5 hours, searched every water source, and with no blood, I knew it was a non lethal hit above the spine. I went home empty handed for what seemed to be my 4th year in a row.
I was able to go back over Labor Day weekend. I knew the groups pattern, and was hoping I could still arrow 1 of the 2 bigger bucks. I did find the 5x4, but each afternoon it rained, putting to what seemed like an end to my hunt. I was truly disappointed, because I had blown 1 opportunity at a very respectable buck earlier in the hunt, and would have had my first archery animal.
I kept watching the weather, and archery season ended on September 10th. I saw a break would be in the storm system, and convinced my parents to go out on Saturday, September 7th for one last try. And one last try was all I needed. I found 5 bucks, which were part of the 11 bucks that I had chased the previous 10 days of my hunt. It was just light enough to see, and I knew it was now or never. Knowing that one was a solid 4 point, I wasn't going to leave this mountain without him. I only could get 250 yards from them, but they went to one of the 5 water sources on this mountain. I was just watching them from about 250 yards out, in an aspen stand next to a pine tree. I can't believe what happened next. 1 of the 5 bucks, walked to my tree, and was only 18 yards away!!! 2 of the others headed north, and the 4 point and another small buck came my way. Finally, he came to 32 yards. I took 1 step back, put my sight on him and executed a marginal shot. After giving him 4 hours to die, I was able to harvest a 155" gross, Nevada mule deer, and he was only 2 years old! I finally ended my 4 year drought of not getting my first animal with a bow, but all the training and effort finally paid off.

Debut Novelist Wins Major Australian Award [1]
Australia's prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award [3] went this year to debut novelist Anna Funder for her best-seller All That I Am (Harper). Funder, whose novel of the Nazi resistance in Europe also won her country's Independent Bookseller's Award for debut fiction and was named Indie Book of the Year, received $50,000 Australian (approximately $50,355).
Funder is also the author of the Samuel Johnson Prize [4]–winning nonfiction book Stasiland: True Stories From Behind the Berlin Wall, published by Granta Books in 2003, which the author wrote after making a shift from previous careers in international law and television production in Germany. Her award-winning debut novel also carries threads of the real, particularly stories of pre-World War II activists who opposed Hitler's rise to power, some culled from the author's personal relationship with a German refugee living in Australia.
The other contenders for this year's Miles Franklin Award are Blood by Tony Birch, Foal's Bread by Gillian Mears, Cold Light by Frank Moorhouse, and Past the Shallows by Favel Parrett. The award is given annually for a novel that "presents Australian life in any of its phases."
In the video below, Funder describes the challenges of shaping her novel, including the importance, while crafting fiction from historical events, of getting the story "morally right."

All Rebel Rockers
Michael Franti and Spearhead (ANTI, 2008) [1]
Michael Franti has been knocking around the fringes of the rock and rap scene for almost 20 years. Franti first surfaced as a member of a punk band called The Beatnigs, then fused punk and rap with the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. Last year he nibbled at the edges of mainstream popularity with a righteously angry and delightfully funky anti-war album, Yell Fire.
Franti and his band, Spearhead, recorded that disc with the legendary Jamaican rhythm-masters Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, and the experience obviously struck a spark because they went down to Jamaica to record All Rebel Rockers, again with Sly and Robbie at the helm. They've come back with the kind of classic reggae album that no one has made since the days before Peter Tosh was murdered and Bob Marley succumbed to cancer.
Here we have it: a real band playing real instruments and producing the swaying hypnotic rhythms and deep space dub effects that marked reggae's golden age. There are also dance-groove party tunes galore and lyrics that mix love-carnal and cosmic-with sharply worded social protest.
But this is not a Wailers tribute album. For one thing, All Rebel Rockers lacks the Rastafarian religious invocations that inspired classic reggae and tied the music to a deep root of Afro-Judeo-Christian tradition. Franti has plenty of cool, rocking, and perceptive protest songs, but no "Redemption Song." On the other hand All Rebel Rockers is also free of the hymns to marijuana that were so embarrassing on old-school reggae records.
If there's still anybody out there who can shout down Babylon, Franti may be the guy. Just check out "Hey World (Remote Control)." Over a beat lifted straight from Afrika Bambaataa's Ur-hip-hop classic "Planet Rock" (1982), Franti announces that he's come "to smash the empire with my beatbox." And at least for the duration of the track that actually seems possible.

"Awesome spin on an omelet. I used hot sausage cut out of the casing and fried up with mild salsa and a very tiny bit of cheese. I'm on a low-carb, low sugar and starch diet and this was way better than regular scrambled eggs. I will be making this again for sure!!"

(Carlisle, Pa.) – The #2-ranked Dickinson men's lacrosse team captured its third consecutive Centennial Conference Championship, in dominant fashion, turning back #2-seed Franklin & Marshall, 16-2. The Red Devil defense was outstanding in front of All-American goaltender Greg Hanley (Laurel Hollow, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor), keeping the Diplomats scoreless until the 9:45 mark of the fourth quarter.
Senior Peter Zouck (Baltimore, Md./Gilman) anchored the defensive effort, causing three turnovers and controlling five ground balls. He intercepted a pass and went coast-to-coast to score the first goal of his collegiate career to give Dickinson a 4-0 lead.
The game started very similar to the teams' regular season meeting here, just two weeks ago. The Red Devils struck first as senior Matt Cherry (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Radnor) scored off a Will Scott (Emmaus, Pa./Emmaus) assist at the 10:57 mark of the first quarter. That was all the scoring in the early minutes as the score held at the end of one.
Long pole midfielder Brandon Palladino (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) made a great cut, receiving a beautiful feed from Parker Waldron (Kinnelon, N.J./Kinnelon) to put the Devils up, 2-0, to start the second period.
Sophomore Tyler White (Philadelphia, Pa./Penn Charter) found the net with 5:35 to play in the half, and Zouck went solo for a 4-0 advantage at the 3:56 mark. Junior Brian Cannon (Reisterstown, Md./Loyola Blakefield) capitalized on an extra-man opportunity, giving the Red Devils a 5-0 lead as the teams went into halftime.
The Red Devils did not let up after the break. Scott broke free, scoring just 55 seconds into the third quarter as Dickinson would stretch the lead to 12-0 before the Diplomats were finally able to put a goal on the scoreboard.
First-year Kobi Frankel (Kinnelon, N.J./Kinnelon) finished an assist from Cannon and classmate Rob Kendall (Sewickley, Pa./Sewickley) made the score, 8-0, with 10:19 on the clock. The Devils then struck twice in a span of just 10 seconds as Cannon scored unassisted Brian Gleason (Darien, Conn./Darien) scored off a feed from Palladino on the ensuing face-off.
The grew stretched to 11-0 as White found senior Christian Beitel (Newtown, Conn./Newtown), giving Dickinson an 11-0 lead at the end of the third quarter.
Cannon made it a dozen, scoring just 45 seconds into the final quarter. Senior A.J. Reichert spoiled the shutout, scoring with 9:45 to play in the game. He would tally the Diplomats final goal as well, scoring with 1:39 to play.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils would tally four more times, down the stretch. Cannon found room with the Devils man-down and finished an extra-man goal from Gleason with 2:51 remaining. Senior Marek Laco (Potomac, Md./Landon) got into the scoring column, putting the final touches on the win with a goal at the 2:13 mark.
Junior Carter Moore (Virginia Beach, Va./Norfolk) was outstanding as well, winning 15-of-18 face-offs and controlling six ground balls. First-year Greg Castro (New Fairfield, Conn./New Fairfield) was solid as well, winning 3-of-4 attempts and adding a pair of ground balls.
Draper Donley (Lutherville, Md./St. Paul's) and Slay Sudah (Franklin Park, N.Y./St. Joseph) were relentless on the defensive end while senior Jack O'Connor (New Vernon, N.J./Delbarton) turned in a solid performance as well.
Hanley finished with 15 saves and four ground balls to improve to 17-0 on the year as well.
Reichert scored both goals for the Diplomats while Cameron Setian finished with seven saves for F&M, who falls to 11-6 on the season.
The Red Devils tie the school record with their 17th win, and become the first Centennial Conference team to finish the season unbeaten overall. Cannon matched conference tournament eight goals in the tournament and broke the tournament record with 11 points, adding an assist on Saturday and two in the semifinal. He tallied five goals to lead the way on Saturday.
The Red Devils had 13 players mark the scoring column while matching the conference record for fewest goals allowed in a tournament game.
Dickinson earns the conference's automatic bid and will make its fourth straight appearance in the NCAA playoffs. The Red Devils are currently ranked second in the USILA National Coaches Poll.

On the subject of arms for the 1948 war, the role of Robert Maxwell bears mentioning.
The book, The Secret War Against the Jews, by John Loftus and Mark Aarons goes into great detail about the role of Robert Maxwell in obtaining Czechoslovakian armaments for Israel prior to the 1948 war. It has quotes from some of the American pilots who flew the armaments, including disassembled aircraft packed into larger cargo planes, from Czechoslovakia to what would become Israel. The video on The Pledge reminded me of this book.

It's common to use a variable naming convention to distinguish between fields, arguments, and local variables.
Within the body of a method, all of these types of variables can appear. Many find naming conventions to be a helpful aid in getting a rapid understanding of a method's implementation. These conventions have only one purpose: to pour understanding into the brain of the reader as quickly as possible.
To understand a method, you need to understand its data. An important part of understanding data is understanding where it's defined - as a field, argument, or local variable. Naming conventions which distinguish these cases usually allow the reader to understand an implementation more quickly, since they no longer need to scan the class to determine where items are defined.
Some different styles are:
- field: fBlah, _blah, blah_, this.blah, m_blah, myBlah
- argument: aBlahBlah, pBlah
- local variable: blahBlah
- constant: BLAH_BLAH
- interface: IBlahBlah
- class: BlahBlah, CBlahBlah
The example code on this site usually follows these conventions:
- field: fBlahBlah
- argument: aBlahBlah
- local variable: blahBlah
- constant: BLAH_BLAH
- class: BlahBlah
- interface: BlahBlah (same as class)

A man who was mistakenly released Friday evening by Davidson County Sheriff's Office detention officers turned himself in Saturday morning, Sheriff David Grice said Monday.
Roland Monroe Thompson Jr., 36, of 4118 Old U.S. Highway 29, Apt. 2, Thomasville, was back in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $35,000 secured bond. He was initially placed in the jail Thursday for felony possession of counterfeit instrument charges, as well as the felony charges of obtaining property by false pretense and attempting to obtain property by false pretense.
About 7:30 p.m. Friday, detention officers were releasing another man with the same Thompson last name and an identical first initial, the sheriff said. Grice said a detention officer misheard and got the wrong Thompson. Therefore, Roland Thompson went to the booking area and was processed out. Immediately, detention officers realized the wrong Thompson was released, he explained.
Detention officers "went outside," the sheriff said. "(Thompson) took off up the street. They chased him and then notified other law enforcement, and looked for him all that evening."
Grice said detention officers chased him and lost him somewhere in the Lexington City Cemetery. The sheriff said about 6 a.m. Saturday Thompson called and turned himself into deputies.
Grice was meeting with jail administrators Monday morning to discuss a checklist that detention officers fill out to process inmates out of the jail. "There is going to be some disciplinary action coming for a couple of officers," the sheriff said. "They have a checklist. The officers messed up and didn't follow the checklist."
Grice declined to comment on the disciplinary action as he said he couldn't elaborate further on the personnel issue. He said it had been years since there was an inappropriate release at the Davidson County Detention Center.
Monday morning, Thompson was in custody for the new charges of misdemeanor escape local jail and felony common law forgery. The DCSO alleges in an arrest warrant that he forged the other Thompson's first and last name to escape from the detention center.
The Lexington Police Department alleged this past week that Thompson visited Walmart on Lowe's Boulevard on Wednesday and purchased a tablet and then on Thursday bought a laptop from the store, according to an arrest warrant. The LPD alleged Thompson used counterfeit currency each time to purchase the items. An LPD officer states in court documents Thompson was in possession of 20 counterfeit $20 bills over the two days. He was given a $10,000 secured bond for the initial charges and then an additional $25,000 secured bond for the new charges.
Thompson is set to appear Oct. 31 in Lexington District Court.

CHAPEL HILL– Senior running back A.J. Blue spoke passionately to his teammates following Carolina's abysmal effort against East Carolina Saturday. He called out the lack of effort and challenged each member to give his absolute best each and every day.
And Blue's words seemed to have resounded in the minds of many Tar Heels at Monday's gathering with the media. Quarterback Bryn Renner says he thinks Blue really made an impact on his teammates.
"A.J. does a great job of leading this team. I think he said all the right things. We didn't play the way we are capable of, and it's got to stop," Renner says.
Renner says the offensive woes, especially in the first half on Saturday, were a result of the inability to piece together long drives. An inopportune interception also hurt the Tar Heels.
"Obviously, we didn't convert enough first downs. I think really in the first half we just struggled maintaining drives. […] All across the board offensively we didn't perform the way we are capable of," Renner says.
Wide receiver T.J. Thorpe attributes struggles on offense to an overall lack of intensity and issues with communication that turns little mistakes into blaring weaknesses that can decide the outcome of a game.
"My biggest take from the game was probably just the small details. We had a lack of focus at points, whether it was me or a miscommunication with Bryn or receivers missing blocks. It's just the finer things that we kind of just breezed over," Thorpe says.
Thorpe also says the youth of the offense is showing up in stupid errors. And he says he thinks the losses of Giovani Bernard and veteran offensive linemen are proving tough to overcome for the Tar Heels.
"We're taking a bit hit losing Gio. We lose three guys on the O-line who had been playing three or four years. Losing all that at once, it's not an excuse, but guys are just now gaining game experience now. And you can kind of tell with some of the bonehead things we do," Thorpe says.
Senior cornerback Jabari Price says he knows that Defensive Coordinator Vic Koenning has been running practices at a quicker pace to prepare the team for up-tempo offenses they face. But Price says the preparation fell short on Saturday, saying the Tar Heels were "shocked" by the Pirate speed.
And that "shock" certainly was evident at Kenan Stadium. Price says over 30 missed assignments were totaled in the ECU game. Now there's a shocker.

The latest issue of Evolution: Education and Outreach — the new journal promoting the accurate understanding and comprehensive teaching of evolutionary theory for a wide audience — is now
published. The theme for the issue (volume 4, number 3) is Material Cultural Evolution, edited by Anna Prentis.
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of Richard Conniff's The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools, and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth (W. W. Norton, 2011).
Over the Labor Day weekend, NCSE's YouTube channel achieved a landmark: its millionth view.
A recent Fox News poll (September 7, 2011) included a question about evolution and creationism.
The chorus of support for the teaching of evolution continues, with a statement on "Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design" from the Oregon Department of Education issued in 2007.
The philosopher of science Niall Shanks died on July 13, 2011, at the age of 52, according to the Wichita State University Department of History.
A lawsuit against the California Science Center for canceling a screening of Darwin's Dilemma was settled in July 2011, the Associated Press reports (August 29, 2011), with neither side admitting wrongdoing.
Steve Randak, a biology teacher highlighted in 2001's Evolution series on PBS, died on August 23, 2011, according to the Lafayette, Indiana, Journal and Courier (August 26, 2011).
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview of Geerat Vermeij's The Evolutionary World (Thomas Dunne Books, 2010). The preview consists of chapter 9, "Dispatches from a Warming World," in which Vermeij discusses the evolutionary consequences of a warming world.
Was it unconstitutional for a teacher to describe creationism as "superstitious nonsense"? In 2009, a federal district court ruled that it was, in C. F. et al. v. Capistrano Unified School District et al. But the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in a decision (PDF) issued on August 19, 2011, overturned the district court's decision "to the extent it decided the constitutionality of any of Corbett's statements" while upholding its grant of qualified immunity to James Corbett, the teacher in question.

BWF2XML is an utility that converts mono or polyphonic BWFs to a format that allows FCP to see all metadata of the original file.
The current version of BWF2XML does double check for system version and QT version, so polyphonic BWFs with more than 2 channels will be ignored when the QT version is below version 7. The app does not know or care about what version of FCP is installed. FCP 4.5 does only support 2 channel polyphonic BWFs - so that might be an issue for you; FCP will parse the XML correctly but won't connect the files and in case you try it, there will errors.
The current version also includes the
What's New
- Handles files sizes up to 4G now (4G is file size limit for BWF files)
- Fixes a bug with 29.97 DF settings
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later

My first church had about 22 members - on Easter! After church, we could all go downstairs in the church, eat some chicken together and discuss my sermon or some other matter that was interesting to all of us. Now that I serve a much larger church and have much more responsibility, it feels a bit weird. It miss the interaction with regular people.
One of my young church members introduced me to a technology that can help me relieve some of this frustration. It's called "Spreecast" and it allows us to be connected via our computers and have live chats together online. And there is no limit to how many of us can connect!
During these chats not everyone is able to see everyone else. (So you don't have to worry about how you look - or don't look). But everyone can join the chat and make comments or ask questions. And a few people who desire to do so are able to be on camera and be seen by everyone else. It really is quite exciting.
After a few of these live web chats, my staff and I have decided that we are going to to host the "Pastor's Corner Live" every Sunday night on Spreecast.com for the rest of this year. I am inviting you and your family and friends to be a part of this ministry. If you have a computer with a web camera, that is all you need to participate. Here is what I am asking you to do:
1. Pray for me and the FBCLG staff as we plan and prepare these chats.Ask God to use this outreach to strengthen people of faith and to answer questions for people whose faith may be waning.
2. Click the link below and subscribe to our "Spreecast" channel (free). This will allow you to enter our chats with one click in the future.
3. Set an alarm to remind you to join the Sunday night chat with us.
4. Send your friends, family members and co-workers invitations to be a part of our Sunday night experience.
Thanks. I will see you Sunday at 8pm.

I'll wait for the subs on this one. I'm partly reminded of God Eater (the game) in terms of the art style, and Borderland (as much as I despise the level of electronics put on Mami Kawada) is one hell of a catchy OP tune.
The premise isn't entirely something I'd normally be overly enthralled by, but it's worth broadening horizons, right? I'll have a better idea of whether I'd pick this up properly after the first episode - though if some of the other opinions are to go by, I'm not sure at the moment.

Personally, I thought it was great! It seemed quite in line with the manga which is great!
Also, I'm really liking that techno beat they used in several places, it sounded cool.
And my main fear that Koko wouldn't sound right has been completely alleviated!

Loving dat OP. Nice to hear Mami doing a song that's more tough, but I agree with viperdk1, I wish they didn't water her down with so much unneeded electronic "enhancement". <_<
And Nagi's ED is beautiful.

I'm not sure about Koko's seiyuu. Didn't expect that voice at all. This voice doesn't seem capable of extremities, and Koko needs that. (As preview hints: "Her name is Koko she is LOCO").
I hear Kizaru in Lehm.
Animation: Something is off with character expressions and lip synching. Expressions seem lacking respective of the vocals? The characters in the manga are very sensational but I'm not feeling it here, but it's probably my imagination since it's only the first episode.
Backdrops however are exceptional.
Direction: episode was rushed. Didn't feel the tension or suspense the manga conveyed for this episode. They need to ease up on the transitions and insert a little more exposition.
Opening was okay, ending was nice.

Well, if anything Taku Iwasaki still hasn't lost his penchant for using silly Engrish lyrics in his songs. Still, I'm hoping for some great tracks from him in this. The opening scene already had one nice one which I hope to hear more of.
As for the episode itself, it did feel rather fast to the point I expected the ED to come on around the first half but it doesn't bother me the way Zetman's pacing does. The attempts at humour feel a little jarring so far, particularly the last scene (though I did like sleepwalking Koko). Everything else was entertaining and I'll say again how much I love everyone's dead eyes and coloured eyelashes.
Itou Shizuka makes for a fun Koko and I'm confident she'll be able to pull off whatever other sides to Koko there are without problems. I like Jonah too. A definite keeper.

Anybody else heard the James Bond theme? No? Well, too bad... cause I effinnn... did *in my head*.
This is my type of ANIME. Finally something to get excited about from Spring 2012 line up.....
Very very good start. I had to beat my shounen fan in me to keep it in check so it didn't come out hollerin', and hooting and yellin' at the sight of so much violence. Good atmosphere too. The only criticism toward the show goes to the effort put in for the CG. Not a good sign as far as the overall aspect of animation is concerned. Anyway, that's for later considering the show is still in its infancy. So far so very good! Got me all fired up that's for sure. Yeah, I know,... it doesn't take too much to get me excited, but that's what it means to be a shounen-fan.

"I don't give a damn. Just tell me who to shoot."
As a huge fan of the manga this was pretty much perfect in my view, though I can see why not everyone would care for it. The manga is not only hard to fall in love with right away, but it's extremely unconventional. It's an odd story about odd people told oddly, but also brilliantly. The anime captured the darkness and black humor, but also the subtle hints of humanity that I picked up in the fist chapters of the manga.
The lack of exposition might be a problem but as I said, it's a weird manga - it does come with time. I thought all the voices were fine, and I especially love seeing Lehm on screen at long last. Ishizuka Unsho's résumé is so good it's almost embarrassing, and he's absolutely perfect to play this amazing character.

I came in expecting something similar to Ghost in the Shell's tactical squad feeling, with a dash of politics, and I wasn't disappointed.. I look forward to seeing more of the story and characters fleshed out.
And that ED song is awesome, by the way.

I'll have to check out the full version then. ^^ The "Her name is Koko" bit made me laugh since it was rather unexpected...and it's entirely too catchy. Definitely has internet meme potential though.

Well it was definitely entertaining but I'm not sure if this is going to be what I thought it was going to be. I was expecting something like Lord of War but this seems more "anime-fied" than I was hoping it would be.
Just a question for manga readers: How political is Jormungand?

U.S. DOT's Freight Policy Council will implement the key freight provisions of the legislation.
The council will be chaired by Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari and will include DOT leadership from highways, rail, ports and airports and economic and policy experts from across the Administration. The freight and logistics industries, consumers and other stakeholders will also play an advisory role and states will be asked to offer proposals for improving the freight system in their region.

WC writes: We all know that there are tons of great games out there. And simultaneously, there are a lot of games that are, for lack of a better term, complete crap. And of course, us gamers share our existence with people we call critics that get paid to review those games.
A lot of the time, these critics are pretty accurate in their reviews. But there are always exceptions. Here are just a few examples of those exceptions.
IGN completely make wrong reviews they give all good games a bad scores
This article is brutal. It should be called "let me find nine reviews I disagree with and present my vastly superior opinion all while making the #1 most spectacularly wrong video game review one that I wrote so I look humble and important."
Reviews are opinions. There is no way to prove an opinion wrong. You can agree or disagree, but even a lot of people disagreeing doesn't make it wrong. Even if I agree with some of the points you made, I would never disagree that the writer has a right to feel the way they do.
But hey, you put yourself over. #1!!! Good job. Clearly you never believed anything you said to begin with if you can turn around and say you were spectacularly wrong about 10 opinions you had on 10 games.
Just seeing that picture makes me want to play Uncharted 2 again. Time to fire it up when I get home.
I was going along with this article until the author of this very article, a piece about journalists getting reviews wrong states that ubisoft sometimes get things so right like ghost recon but occasionally get things so wrong like assassins creed brotherhood??? What, brotherhood is by far the best assassins creed of the series by a mile.
this guy is bashing edge magazine for bashing black ops? that is probably the one thing I have ever agreed with edge magazine about. you arent going to call them out for their 7/10 they gave killzone 2? that was when most people with half a brain realized how cringingly biased they are.
you're going to complain that gamespot gave resident evil 6 a bad score? that game completely deserved it on every level and many many other reviewers agreed.

The Universal Life Force or energy that transcends time and space, penetrates all things in the universe, and upon which all things depend for health and life. It has been acknowledged since ancient times. It has been called many names. Prana, Qi, Ki, Spiritus and the Astral Light.
What do you call it and what is your definition?
Qi or Ki is the same thing, or even Chi. We also categorize chi in many categories but mainly into pre-heaven chi and post-heaven chi. the pre heaven chi are energy that you are given when you are in your mom's tummy, the nutrition and stuff that give you the vital energy. Post-heaven chi are chi that you consume by eating and drinking or breathing or any other source AFTER you are born.
On top of that, pre-heaven chi are chi or energy that is not affected by earth element, which is outter space energy. Post heaven chi is about chi that is on earth and affected by earth element. If you like to read, dig up on the pre and post heaevn bagwa theory here, it is not about a HEAVEN too.. it's just a name:

Hello all,
This problem has stumped me for the past 2 weeks and i'm beginning to get frustrated. I'm sure it's something easy, but I think I've been looking at the code too long. I need a new pair of eyes!
On the contact page of my website, I have a box in the right column that takes the 5 most recent uploads from flickr and displays them horizontally. The imgs are each nested in <li><a> elements and dynamically added to the page with jQuerey.
My problem is that in IE, the ul is vertical. All the other browsers don't seem to have a problem (except opera, but that is a whole other beast at the moment). I am using some css3, but I don't think that that would be messing this up the way that is.
the page is located here:
I really appreciate any help I can get!
#flicpics img {float:left;}
excellent! that did it. thank you very much. (I knew it would be something easy like that.)

Simple. Roll your chimi ike a large egg roll, tight and sealed with egg wash or sour cream in a pinch. Load them in the bag and put in the sous-vide for a half-hour or so, until reaching an internal temperature of about 140 degrees, then you can flash-fry and JUST KIDDING!!!
It just so happens I spent 3 1/2 years at the best Mexican Restaurant in the country; the country was Bermuda but we were it! The trick with a chimichanga is to get it hot and melted all the way through in the fryer (or the pan on top of the stove at home)without burning the shell. We would put one basket inside of another and listen tor the steam escape in the oil. Roll them nice and tight like an egg roll, no air pockets or leaks, and no more than 2-21/2 inches through the middle. Usually we would roll a nice, big, fat burrito; these are difficult to fry. Actually, one of the best ways if you are not pressed for time i.e. a full dining room dot them with manteca or butter at home and bake at 350 until a nice, even golden brown.
Hax the Cook CLEAVERS RULE!!!

I can't believe that it has been so long since I posted to this blog about you. I continue to think about you every day - although the pain of your absence isn't as acute as it was. I had a shrimp cocktail on Thursday and thought of you; I had a Glenlivet this evening and thought about us -- the fist thing I did every Sunday evening when we got together. The thing that is missing is the pasta or the oysters that we would have after the sex.
I miss you every day.
Just read that Angela Lansbury is getting a special Oscar this year. I wish you were still here with me to see it. I don't think there has ever been a bigger Jessica fan than you.
Another reason I miss you.
Baby, I can't believe that it has been two years since you died on Christmas day. I think about you every day and know that I will never get over your being absent from my life.
As you know, from wherever you are, this has been a very difficult year since the end of October. S. has been sick and almost 70 days in the hospital. The stress has been been overwhelming.
The last time this happened I had you to come home to. I could cuddle in your arms and drift off to sleep
Babe - I put a dozen roses on your grave yesterday. They were beautiful and I wish you were here to enjoy them. I've been missing you more than usual the last couple of days.
Tonight should be our weekly snuggle session - plus it is my birthday this week and you are supposed to be here to give me my birthday loving as well.
My heart is so heavy in missing you. It's been a year and a half and I think of you every day -- not every minute as I have done but you are never
Hi, babe. I'm in New Orleans for a conference. All I can do is think about how much we enjoyed being here together. I ate at our favorite oyster bar last night. I didn't have oysters on the half shell -- I guess it isn't the same without you to help eat them but I did have the fried oysters. They were good -- I know you would have enjoyed them.
I didn't go to the bars like we used to. I thought about it and even walked by Oz and The Corner Pocket but didn't go in. I think that steam
