Morning All,
Fumerie Turque today.
Have a lovely Thursday, gang.
Good morning everyone. Yesterday was meant to be a good day ceebrating my little brother's birthday,but instead I got really bad news :( I found out my absolutely closest cousin got run over by a train and died :( This is...three days ago now.He lived in Denmark,but I cant seem to find anything about it in the news :( I'm still in shock...so it almost feels good to have something as concrete as cleaning the apartment today. Sotd is Attraction.

Good Morning my Fragrant family. Today I am proudly wearing Creed, Bois du Portugal.
Have a wonderful day.
...................Bonjour Mesdames!
..My deepest condolences, ineespenes!
Ine, it is absolutely heart rending to hear of a young life being lost in such tragic circumstances. I'm so sorry to hear such dreadful news. Keeping yourself occupied is probably the best thing you can do for the moment. Sincerest condolences to you and yours.

Hello all. LUSH Gorilla Perfumes The Voice Of Reason.
Very saddened to hear your news, Ine! Hang on there. Hugs for the whole family.
My news: well, I fell in love. Again. How come that all my crushes are named Pierre (or, Olivier *wink*)? This time it is another wolf, loup garou, or simply Garou from Quebec. He has been around for quite some time now, but it is his L'Adieu that made him stand out for me. I know some of you more musically-inclined and sophisticated people (Hi, E., looking at you here!) have heard him singing a part of Quasimodo (as in a trio singing Belle), but he was a real revelation for me yesterday. And then again, a baritone with the looks and heaps of energy can do it to anyone.
Mikie's Guerlain again for me, Philtre d'Amour.
Ine, that's awful, I am so sorry to hear your news. :(
Well, my SoTD is Datura Noir today because I dreamed of the smell of it. As you do.
Dear Ine I am so sorry. My condolences to you and your family.
SOTD is Roberto Cavalli Oro
Take care, everyone.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Ine. Sincerest condolences to you and your family.
Hello everyone!
I'm back in Dior Addict this morning. Y'all have a great day!
Wolfie has a new love, how exciting! I've heard of Garou, but I'm much more familiar with the legendary loup-garou ...he's known to dwell in the swamps around here. But I did happen to know that he, Garou, recorded a song with Celine Dion called Sous Le Vent!
(((ineespenes))) - I'm shocked and saddened by your tragic news. You and your family have my deepest sympathy and will be in my thoughts during this difficult time.
So sorry, ineespenes, about the tragic death of your cousin, what terrible news. My thoughts are with you.
Today wearing peach body lotion and Dreams Unlimited from body shop. It was a $10 deal, that is about my speed until the budget recovers. I would call it "nice". It smells nice. According to the website it has notes of: citrus, green chilli, nonspecific white flowers and cedarwood.
Oh, ineespenes, I am so sorry to hear your sad news. My thoughts are with you.
Wolfie, you are a push over :)
Roberto, you smell lovely! And I love that picture.
I am in love with 31 rue Cambon, so will snuggle with it today :)

(((Ine))), what a horrible tragedy, I'm so sorry. Will be thinking of you and your family. There are just no words for these circumstances, wish we could all squeeze you tight in person. Try to hang in there, girlie.
Happy Belated Birthday, kumquat!
We are sick here- Mr.PL is off work for a second day and this is a guy who last missed work early in our marriage due to a minor stroke. Even then, he missed only two days. We have picked up something very nasty. Can still smell, though! So I'm in a bit of comforting No.5. Figured I know this one well enough that I'll recognize when my nose goes off. If hubby's symptoms are any indication, it's likely my nose will abandon me today or tomorrow. I seem to be a day or two behind him with this. Ick!
Have a great day and hugs (but just the virtual kind today!) to all!
L'Heure de Nuit by Guerlain (from a sample)
Pretty darned good for a 'new' Guerlain. Of course when you're working off of a template as stunning as L'Heure Bleue, it's easy.
fragranceman88 - I love that Creed! Sharp, bracing and very natural IMO.
ineespenes - I am so sorry for the bad news about your cousin ((hugs))
TWolf - you smell lemony-wonderful and you are such a Cougar - Garou is younger than me (40!)...you GO girl. He's a looker, don't you all agree?? :) :
Nukapai - nice to see you posting again, you were missed
Evangeline - I luuurve Addict, Fall is the perfect time to catch a sexy whiff of it on a woman walking by. I wish I was standing down wind from you. LOL
BEAR HUGS TO ALL that need them!
(((Ine))), I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
PL, I hope you and your hubby feel better soon!
T, I've heard a few of Garou's songs. Just don't make Mr. T too jealous, lol.:wink:
SotD is Lalique Nilang, notes include water jasmine, jonquil, freesia, lotus flower,
wood myrtle, amber, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. This one is a soft floral oriental,
with a little spice, like a cross between Innocent and Dune, with a touch of Angel
in the beginning.
(((ineespenes))) What terrible news! I am so very, very sorry. It's awful to lose those you love under any circumstances, but sudden/unexpected losses of those so young and so close to our own age seem to hit with extra force. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
PL, I hope you and Mr. PL feel better soon. The old wives' tale about chicken noodle soup isn't just a tale -- its effectiveness has been shown to have a scientific basis (if you "believe" in that sort of thing). :wink: I love the smell of chicken noodle soup cooking when I'm under the weather.
Cello, Evangeline mentioned how much you love No. 23 -- and it is sublime. I need to wear it side-by-side with Tam Dao so my nose can better know when it wants each of them. :smiley:
G, you smell honey-licious! You've put me in the mood for Fumerie Turque, but it will have to wait for tomorrow as today I am luxuriating in SL Une Voix Noire. As it turns out, this one is lovely in cool weather, too, much like Tubereuse Criminelle. The new gentleman in my life instantly knows when I'm wearing UVN, and he loves it, along with Carnal Flower, and several other non-florals. :happy:
Hugs to you, ineespenes! :(
Well, the English Fern went well! So, I couldn't help but notice Evangeline pulled out Halston Couture a few days ago. So..... today I did the same. Wow! It's amazing how a smell can just transport you. Total natsukashii. Patchouli galore, but I don't mind it. :D
Thanks, everyone, for the well-wishes for Sam and me. Duramorph is a wonderful thing. For 24 hours, I didn't even know I'd been cut open.
PerfumedLady, wishing you both a speedy recovery.
SotE - Robert Piguet Casbah.
Good afternoon, all.
I'm wearing Iris Ganache today. I wanted a FB and had called Horrids and Selfridges only to be told they had sold out. But then, my daugther told me that I'll be getting a bottle for Christmas from her papa! I won't tell him that I know and will act surprised come Christmas morning ;-)

Haven't worn this is ages - Ginestet Botrytis :)
ineespenes, so sorry about your cousin.
Everyone smells great today. Would love to sniff Casbah, & haven't got my L'Heure de Nuit split yet. Forgot about Botrytis, love that one
I'm in possibly one of the cheapest thrills ever, Bijan B Exquisite, spicy, woody, powdery comfort at about 0.14/ml.
Now, must stop gawking & stalling & write my thesis.
((ineespines)) What a sad shock! So sorry for your pain!
I hope you and your husband start feeling better soon, ((PerfumedLady!))
I'm in Demeter Gingerale today.
Kumquat, you showed up yesterday!!! I don't slice the cake until the birthday kid shows up. Now we can party. Happy Birthday, "my little Kumquat."
(((ineespenes))) I'm sorry for your loss and the grief that must be devastating your family. I feel for the locomotive engineer, as well. Most of us are not aware of the rippling sadness surrounding such events. Everybody, take good care of yourself.
Healing vibes to the PerfumedLady and Gent.
Yes, Twolf, a capella is something, especially the way some groups put sounds together.
So, $hades, any lottery $$$?
Yes, Extreme, the boulder got put precisely where I wanted, and next year it'll be fun to landscape around it. Love the puns. Should I point out there was a lot of "grading" done around Quarry School -- especially in one section where we "graded on the curve." You know what we call primary schools here in the U.S., don't you? "Elementary, my dear Watson."
♥ ♥ ♥While at Target this a.m., I spritzed on some Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, which echoes of Chopard Mira Bai, but I insist MB is a better brew, perhaps because of better quality ingredients or due to the absence of a sour/sharp note I smell in VLJ.
Evening All,
My, we do smell fantastic today !
Get well PL &, er, PM (?). Joining you in No.5 tonight.
ExtremeK - I'll keep my nose turned towards Nebraska tomorrow. See if I can catch a whiff of that Fumerie Turque (unless you change your mind, that is).
Be well, everyone.
Une Rose Chyprée
Inees - I'm so sorry to hear this terrible news. Sincerest condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts.
Busy day scent wise. Started off in PG Praline Santal sample from my oldest BN enabler today. Going to have to try again before deciding.
Changed to vintage Opium Edt all soft, warm, cuddly, comfort.
Arrived home to find a decant of MDCI Peche Cardinal so had to have a little spray....mmmmmmm
It seems I missed a lot during the time I didn't post!
Things here in Greece are getting worse, I am real sorry for the people that suffer
and really disgusted with the political plots that destroy my country...
(((ineespenes))), I am so sorry for your loss...

Have a lovely evening, all!

Hello again!
Twins with ladymurasaki in Iris Ganache for the afternoon.
((PerfumedLady)) - so sorry to hear you're feeling poorly, but at least y'all can snuggle up without worry of infecting each other, lol. ;) Feel better soon!
(((*dora*)) - I sure hope things start to improve for you and your countrymen before too long ...I know it's already been too long. Hang in there!
Sotn: L.i.d.g.e.
:) i ended up with another fake shalimar extrait bottle from an e-bay -rosebud bottle with broken cap....looks like i had this luck! 2 in a row.
....i did not even open it, it was obvious....shalimars dont stink!! both fakes stank simmilarly, like some bad male cologne mixed with water....yuk! disgusting....and the liquid inside is behaving like coloured water...perfume would be sticky after sitting in a bottle for 50 years
i waited patiently 24 days for it to arrive....
this all means faking perfumes works!otherwise people would not spend time doing it!
hehe god sent me as a police...it doesnt work with me though
hehehe thanks!!
this was 2nd in a row :) luckily i had some huntch about it and bought 3rd one from a good source my EDC...
i got refund in 1st case, and so will be this 2nd time....they cant get away with this!
just cant believe i got so "lucky" 2 times in a row :) and i was really not on chase for a bargains...was ready to pay proper price :)
Miss Dior Cherie..the 2011 version, haven't sniffed the version/versions before that but really want to! Cause I heard many people thought the 2011 version sucked compared to the previous stuff.
((((Ine)))) really big hugs going out your way.
Twolf, well, glad it's not Celine Dion, just imo! My hubs always says, 'sorry to you Americans that we gave you Celine.' Lol. He can't stand her stuff and well, either can I, lol. Sorry to any Celine fans, lol. Glad you found something you like though!
Iivanita, I hope you get your money back.
Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois for the evening.
Have a good evening, everyone!
Mike, I am not even a cougar. I am a wolf. How old do you think I am? In my 60s? Nonononon, I am right there with everybody else, you included. Garou is not even five years younger than I am, and honestly, it does not matter! Two-three years is a huge difference when you are five or ten. When you are after 30 or 40, it is NOTHING. Rien!

"Work is the open sesame of every portal, the great equalizer in the world, the true philosopher's stone which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into gold."
"I would have carved on the portals of the National Press Club, "Put not your trust in princes." Only the very rarest of princes can endure even a little criticism, and few of them can put up with even a pause in the adulation."
"Pale, beyond porch and portal,/ Crowned with calm leaves, she stands,/ Who gathers all things mortal/ With cold immortal hands."
"Beauty is momentary in the mind / The fitful tracing of a portal; / But in the flesh it is immortal. / The body dies; the body's beauty lives."
"Many media companies have already either stayed too long on the sidelines or bungled their online efforts. Portals give them the perfect opportunity to play catch-up. These sites bring programming expertise to the table, while big media companies bring off-line promotions, advertising relationships, attractive content, and deep pockets."
"This portal really is geared toward the business user, the knowledge workers who are involved in the business processes of these composite applications."
"All we're doing is serving as a portal. It's a one-stop shop that you can go to and find all of the resources that farmers can go and look at. If you just look at materials for your own state, you may not be aware of what's going on in the states around you and this site provides a lot of the good information."
"While the general consumer has no problem using general travel portals, we feel that the affluent traveler has specific information needs that can only be found by providing a deeper level of service that is closer to concierge level than typically provided by the mass travel market."
"It positions Amazon as a shopping portal, enhances their total market opportunity and serves to leverage their technology base and relationships forged with their customers."

Novak Djokovic defeated Andy Murray 6-7 (2), 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-2 on Sunday to defend his Australian Open title. Djokovic became the first man in the Open Era to win three consecutive Australian Opens. He how has six Grand Slam titles.
Despite having the best returners in the game, the match featured 31 straight holds before Djokovic finally broke through to break Murray in the third set. The Serb ran away with the match from there as Murray, who endured a four-hour match against Roger Federer two days ago, struggled with blisters and a hamstring problem.
Game-by-game analysis of the match after the jump.
Fourth set
7:45 a.m. ET | Trophy Ceremony
Murray a bit slow and careful in his walk to the podium for his runner-up trophy. Great ovation from the crowd which was very pro-Djokovic through the match. He praises Djokovic's ability to win a third title and congratulates the Serb's team as well. Finally he thanks the crowd -- and do I detect a bit of a catch in his throat there? -- for being fair throughout the match.
Djokovic is up next and lifts the Norman Brooks Challenge Cup once again. He congratulates Murray and his team and says he looks forward to more finals.Hard not to notice the very sincere words from both Djokovic and Murray about the tournament itself. Murray on tournament director Craig Tiley, "He just gets it." Djokovic effusive as well. This tournament has set the bar with respect to the treatment of the players. Tough act to follow for the other three.
7:26 a.m. ET | Djokovic wins the match 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-1.
If this tournament has reminded us of anything it's that you need a little bit of luck to win one of these things. Down 0-30, Djokovic hits an overhead that clips the tape and lands on the other side. Could have just as easily landed on his own. He goes on to hold and his third straight Australian Open title and sixth overall, is his.
It wasn't a particularly memorable final but that's consistent for this entire tournament which was generally pretty lackluster. Apart from Djokovic's fourth round match against Stanislas Wawrinka and maybe Murray's five-set win over Federer, the last two weeks haven't featured much to remember.
The final stat-line:
Djokovic: 8 aces, 63% first serves in, 66% second serve points won, 47 winners, 61 unforced errors, 3 for 11 on break points.
Murray: 7 aces, 60% first serves in, 46% second serve points won, 29 winners, 46 unforced errors, 0 for 4 break points.
After losing that second set and having to deal with foot blisters, Murray's form dropped precipitously. He didn't hit an ace in the last two sets, his winning percentage on first serves went from 88 percent to 70 percent and while he hit 22 winners through the first two sets, he only hit seven for the rest of the match. Lots of credit to Djokovic for that, obviously. He simply got stronger as the match went on.
7:20 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, leads 5*-2.
They trade holds and Djokovic will serve to become the first man in the Open Era to complete a three-peat at the Australian Open.
7:12 a.m. ET | Djokovic breaks, leads 4*-1.
Murray's trying desperately to hold his serve and stay in the match but Djokovic is making it painful. The Serb isn't going for outright winners. He wants to out-rally Murray from the baseline and punish his body and that's exactly what he does. After holding easily Djokovic breaks after a long deuce game.
Murray's leaving it all out there, though. But Djokovic looks better now than he did in the first set. He's practically reverse-aging now.
6:57 a.m. ET | Djokovic breaks, leads 2*-1.
Murray jaws with the umpire during the changeover. He's unhappy with the umpire's inability to control the crowd as the idiot hecklers have interrupted play a number of times in that second set to Murray's detriment.
Murray serves first and quickly falls behind o-30. But he plays the best point he's played in over 30 minutes to get it to 30-30. He hugs the baseline and takes control of the point from the first stroke and refuses to let go, finishing with a dipping forehand into the corner. He holds. Huge. Match over if he doesn't.
Murray is willing himself on and he earns a break point thanks to some charitable misses. Djokovic sends the serve wide and Murray goes with a backhand slice return that sails long. If he's 100 percent healthy I think he makes the move to hit a two handed return there. It's clear that he's hurting. He can't stop and start the way he'd want to. Djokovic holds.
Chris Fowler has an apt description for the types of points played when Murray and Djokovic meet: attrition points. Patrick McEnroe goes the football route, saying it's "a ground game" or "a battle for field position". All that is to say, this no one is going to be popping this match into the DVD player anytime soon. Not a whole lot of memorable points but the drama is still incredibly high.
It's a struggle for Murray now as he tries to hold. He hits his fourth doublefault of the match to drop into a 15-30 hole. Heading into this match he only hit two doublefaults all tournament. Djokovic earns two break points as he smartly pulls Murray wide to the backhand and then back to the forehand. Murray's legs and feet just can't make the transition.
Djokovic breaks for a 3-1 lead and shoots a glare to his box. Unless Murray's racket gets on fire and he starts blasting winners from nowhere, this one's done.
Third set
6:39 a.m. ET | Djokovic wins the set 6-3 and leads two sets to one.
Nevermind what I said in that last post. Djokovic is digging in now.
You know what's not good for Andy Murray's foot? A 36-shot rally on the first point on his own serve that he loses followed by another 20-plus shot rally that he loses. Djokovic fires a forehand winner to earn his first break points since the first set at 0-40.
Two forehand errors from Djokovic helps Murray save two but he can't save a third.
Ladies a gentlemen WE HAVE A BREAK OF SERVE after two hours and 51 minutes. Djokovic holds to love and he's a set away from the three-peat.
6:29 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 4-3*.
The energy level has dropped and it looks like the trainer will come back out at the changeover to look at Murray's nasty foot again. Seriously, HD television was not made for close-ups of skin falling off one's foot.
Both guys are playing the scoreboard now. They're giving away some early points to conserve energy and reengaging if the score gets to 30-30 or 40-30. A marginal detente, if you will.
Hold. Hold. 31-straight holds.
6:20 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 3-2*.
More holding. 29 straight holds now. Are we sure this is Murray vs. Djokovic? Seems a heck of a lot more like Isner vs. Karlovic.
6:14 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 2-1*.
Djokovic serves first in the third set and Murray's footwork isn't exactly firing after getting his foot retaped for what looked like blisters. Patrick McEnroe doesn't think Murray can win if his defense drops by even five percent. He's got more octane in his game these days but I have to agree. Has to be so disappointed to lose that second set. Needs to settle himself. Look for him to try and slow things down and conserve some energy early in this set.
Everyone holds. That's 27 straight holds between these two.
Second set
5:58 a.m. ET | Djokovic wins the tiebreak 7-4. One set all.
Murray leads, 1-0: Murray holds with a big serve.
Tied, 1-1: Djokovic responds with a big first serve on the tee. Didn't make a single first serve in the 1st tiebreak so that's already an improvement.
Tied, 2-2: Both men exchange errors. Still on serve.
Djokovic leads 3-2: Can you believe it. Djokovic gets the minibreak when a feather floats down to the court forcing Murray to reset on his second serve. He doublefaults.
Djokovic leads 4-2: He berated himself for going down the line too early in the rally on the last changeover. Shows some patience here, going crosscourt with Murray until it's Murray who pulls the trigger on a backhand down the line wide. Murray tells the umpire he wants to see the trainer at the end of the set. Uh oh.
Djokovic leads 5-2: Big serve wide.
Djokovic leads 5-3: Djokovic sends a forehand long.
Djokovic leads 6-4: First point Murray loses on his first serve in the set but it wasn't easy. Another punishing rally ends when Murray finally nets a backhand.
Djokovic wins 7-4: Murray slices a backhand into the net.
Are you kidding me? A feather???
One set all after two hours and 13 minutes. The trainer is out to look at Murray's foot.
5:48 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, 6-6.
Murray is two points from the set at 30-30 as Djokovic hits his first doublefault of the set. But he rebounds with a safer first serve that Murray leaves short and Djokovic eventually finishes the point at the net. He holds.
Tiebreak time. Again. Can Novak steal this one the way Murray stole the 1st?
5:44 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 6-5*.
Big hold for Djokovic at 15 and he's starting to grunt and roar. Look out.
He wins the first point of the game but Murray snuffs out any chance of a break with some big serving. That shot has improved as the match has worn on. If you can get some cheap points on your serve against Djokovic, you're in a good spot.
Djokovic will serve to force a tiebreak after the changeover.
5:34 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 5-4*.
Another set of easy holds though you have to think Murray's starting to feel the frustration of not breaking Djokovic yet. He knows Djokovic is going through a lull but to the Serb's credit he's just focusing on holding his serve right now and hoping this dip passes.
If he gets it to a tiebreak this set goes 50-50.
5:28 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 4-3*.
Easy holds for both. Murray still looks like the better player right now. In the first set he hit 9 winners and 12 unforced errors. Already in the second set he's hit 9 winners to only 5 unforced errors. He's cleaned it up nicely.
5:20 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 3-2*.
Murray gets it to deuce but Djokovic holds. I think our own Andrew Lawrence hit the nail on the head here:
Djokovic is still misfiring off the baseline. Keeps trying to go down the lines and to get depth and he's sending it long more often than not. Murray's speed is clearly in his head. Murray holds at 15. Highlight of that game was Djokovic punting a ball in frustration and throwing his racket.
5:10 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 2-1*.
Great stat from ESPN: After struggling with his first serve throughout that first set, Murray didn't miss one during the tiebreak. Meanwhile, Djokovic didn't make a single one.
No let down from Murray to start the second set. He stands right on the baseline and runs Djokovic completely ragged as the Serb can't figure out how to hit through him. He holds easily for a 1-0 lead.
Djokovic is completely discombobulated and drops to 0-40 on his serve. These are Murray's first break points of the match. Djokovic saves all three to get to deuce but he dodged a major bullet at 15-40. Floated a forehand into the middle of the court and Murray mishits his backhand long. Horrible miss and it cost him big.
Djokovic holds. That might just kickstart him again.
Murray holds. Still no breaks of serve between these two.
First set
4:53 a.m. ET | Tiebreak
Murray leads, 1-0: Novak starts with a double fault.
Murray leads, 2-0: Murray pounding with his forehand. Best he's hit it all set.
Murray leads, 3-0: Djokovic takes a big cut at a forehand down the line and sends it long.
Murray leads, 4-0: Long rally and Murray finally mixes it up with a slice forehand that Djokovic slices back long. Murray sent a message in that rally that he can go all night if he needs to. He looks the fresher man right now.
Murray leads, 4-1: They're sucking air now after a 33-shot rally ends with a Djokovic overhead that lands right on the line. No really, they're literally sucking for air right now.
Murray leads 5-1: After that exhausting fifth point, Djokovic pulls the ripcord early and sends a forehand long.
Murray leads, 6-1: Big serve and forehand winner crosscourt for Murray. Five set points for the Brit as Judy Murray fires a big fistpump.
Murray leads, 6-2: Djokovic fires a wide serve and follows it up with a bullet backhand down the line for a winner.
Murray wins, 7-2: Djokovic sends a forehand long and Murray, who didn't see a break point for the entire set plays a perfect tiebreak to take the first set. Federer did that to him twice in the semifinal. You can't say Andy isn't a quick learner.
4:42 a.m. ET | Murray holds 6-6.
Tiebreak! Their first set tiebreak at the U.S. Open went 12-10 and took over 20 minutes. Djokovic won a tiebreak in Shanghai 13-11 over Murray.
Here we go.
4:38 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads 6-5*.
This has been great tennis so far but neither man has unlocked his best yet. Djokovic wants to be offensive while Murray is trying to get his first serve to click. It's let him down a bit but the percentages are starting to creep up.
Both men hold easily.
Let's check in on the stats:
Djokovic: 3 aces, 1 doublefault, 68% first serves, 80% second serve points won, 12 winners, 17 unforced errors, 0 for 5 on break points, 11 for 13 at the net.
Murray: 2 aces, 0 doublefaults, 61% first serves, 69% second serve points won, 7 winners, 11 unforced errors, 0 for 0 on break points, and 3 for 5 at the net.
4:29 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads 5-4*.
So far Murray hasn't served his best but he's been the cleaner player, hitting 6 winners to just 7 unforced to start the eighth game. Djokovic is the one taking the risk even if it costs him, with 9 winners to 13 unforced. That offense gets him his fifth break point of the set, which Murray saves with a big serve and big forehand to hold. I'm not sure which is more slippery: Murray or the traction on Djokovic's shoes. He's looking at his camp and frustrated with his shoes.
4:19 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads 4-3*.
Great response from Djokovic after being pushed to deuce in the fifth game. He earns two break points immediately on Murray's serve and Murray does well to fend them off to get to deuce. But Djokovic earns a third break point after a 24-shot rally (the longest of the match so far) has him running Murray side to side until he opens up the court for a backhand winner.
Murray saves it with the help of a big first serve and then saves a fourth break point after another punishing rally where, interestingly, Djokovic goes for a big backhand looking to end the rally. Everyone's been talking about Murray's fitness heading into this match so that was an interesting tell from Djokovic.
Murray fires down two big first serves gets the hold after saving four break points. Great effort.
On the whole, Djokovic has come out the tighter of the two but he goes full stretch and lands prone on the ground lunging for a ball after Murray wrong-foots him. Of course he won it, as Murray has to leave the whole court open after tracking down the short reply. Only Novak .
He holds at 15 and we're still on serve.
4:02 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 3-2*.
Murray holds at love again. Hasn't lost a point on serve yet.
Djokovic misfiring more off the ground. He's already hit eight UFEs to Murray's one. Murray gets the game to deuce but Djokovic holds after a brutal rally that sees both guys play their patented brands of defense. Murray gets to the net and hits a sharp angle drop-volley but Djokovic gets to it and threads the needle down the line to hold.
Asleep? That point woke you up.
3:53 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 2-1*.
The crowd sounds pretty even as the match begins. Thank goodness. If I never have to watch another match with more awkward player-crowd dynamics than last night's women's final involving Victoria Azarenka, it'll be too soon.
Easy holds to start the match. In fact, Murray holds at love without hitting a first serve. Might see this for the next few games. These guys know better than to go big early.
Djokovic holds with an ace and heads to the chair for the changeover. Murray challenges. It was in.
3:44 a.m. ET | Warm-up.
In case you want to know how Murray plans to beat Djokovic tonight here's Ivan Lendl giving the game plan.
It's another cool night on Rod Laver Arena and there's already talk about the breezy conditions. Of course, Murray was the one who handled windy conditions better on his way to the U.S. Open title in September. The Murray camp says their man isn't feeling any effects from his four-hour semifinal on Friday night.
I think that's Jon's way of saying Murray left his Adidas kit in the dryer for a bit too long. I guess Judy no longer does his laundry?
Murray wins the toss and elects to receive. Both men have been firing on their serves all tournament, with Murray hitting 21 aces against Federer alone. We'll see how those numbers hold up here though, as both men are two of the best returners in the game. Interesting stat raised by Darren Cahill on ESPN: Murray has never served more than 9 aces in any of his 17 matches against Djokovic, but that high of nine came last fall at the U.S. Open. He won.
In the off-court battle it's Kevin Spacey vs. Vlade Divac. Love that Andre Agassi is in the crowd and will be helping with the trophy ceremony. He picked Murray before the tournament but has told BBC he's picking Novak here in the final.
No. 1 Novak Djokovic faces No. 3 Andy Murray in the Australian Open final at 3:30 a.m. ET. Join Courtney Nguyen for game-by-game analysis as Djokovic attempts to become the first man to win three straight Australian Opens and Murray tries to become the first man to follow his first Grand Slam title with his second in back-to-back Slams.

The seed swap held at the Mancos Public Library on Saturday was a big success. About 50 to 60 people attended, all with seeds in hand and big garden plans on their minds.
Lee Hallberg, director of the Mancos Public Library was pleased and so were those that attended.
"It went very well," Hallberg said. "There were all kinds of seeds."
If you missed the swap, Hallberg said they are going to set up a seed library of sorts at the library. Gardeners are allowed to borrow or swap seeds at the library, and are asked to leave seeds or save seeds from this year's plants and donate them back in the fall.

Tongue Games
- Feb 1, 2012
- Topics:
Q. My horse, a 14-year-old gelding, always sticks out his tongue when he plays the head-butting game with his buddies. It seems like he's daring the other horses to grab his tongue, which they never do. Why does he do it? Is it the equine version of chicken? I don't believe it's a submission behavior because he's otherwise quite assertive.
When my horse sticks his tongue out, it's always when the horses are nudging head-to-head, specifically muzzle to cheek or side of face. He never does this if he's inspecting other parts of the horse's body. The other horses never seem interested in doing anything with his tongue and never respond with the same behavior (i.e., sticking tongue out). I know he's doing this deliberately because his tongue sticks straight out of his mouth, as opposed to lolling out the side.
Via email
A. I don't think I have ever seen a horse stick out his tongue in the context of rough and tumble play between herdmates. (And I assume you mean one horse butting his head against the body of another horse, back and forth, as opposed to two horses butting heads the way rams or bulls would head-butt.) But I can explain the tongue behavior.
The tongue is rarely seen during horse-to-horse interactions, usually only appearing when horses are licking something while reaching for or eating leaves when browsing. The tongue is also visible when they yawn, but it's not a "sticking out the tongue" behavior like your horse is doing; it is more of a solitary--rather than interactive--behavior, even when displayed near a herdmate. One exception is during the context of a mare interacting with a newborn foal, licking and nuzzling it. The other is during a stallion's courtship of a female, when he might sometimes lick the mare. Even during mutual grooming of two horses, the tongue is back in the mouth where you would not see it. The grooming is accomplished using little nips of the teeth and lips. During rough and tumble play, when horses might be on the brink of nipping or biting each other, I would expect the tongue to be similarly held back in the mouth out of the way of getting pinched between the teeth. So it would be great to see what your horse does to better answer your question.
Cheek-to-cheek contact usually precedes mutual grooming, which often starts with the nuzzling and then some yawning, and then mutual grooming. I have seen horses in that context, very close to one another, extending their tongues.

Pentagon press secretary George Little said President Barack Obama made the decision to hold up the F-16 delivery while the administration continues to review options and consult with Congress on military assistance generally.
The four F-16s were to be delivered under a previously arranged sale of 20. Eight of the F-16s were delivered earlier this year; after the four originally set for delivery this week the final eight were to be sent later this year.
Also on order by the Egyptian military are U.S.-made M1A1 Abrams tanks; the administration has not yet decided whether to go ahead with those.
The F-16 delay was the first direct action the U.S. has taken since the Egyptian military ousted Morsi and installed a new civilian government. Under U.S. law, military aid to a country that underwent a coup d'etat must be suspended. But the Obama administration says it is still trying to determine if what happened three weeks ago in Egypt was in fact a coup. Egypt is a key ally in the Middle East and the administration is reluctant to cut off the $1.3 billion aid package it sends to Cairo every year.
Little said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called Egypt's military chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, on Wednesday to discuss the administration's decision.
"We remain committed to the U.S.-Egypt defense relationship as it remains a foundation of our broader strategic partnership with Egypt and serves as pillar for regional stability," Little said.
"Moving forward, everything that we do and say will continue to be focused on hastening Egypt's return to a democratically elected government as soon as possible," he added.
Little said the Pentagon has decided to proceed as planned with a joint U.S.-Egyptian military exercise called Bright Star, which has been a centerpiece of the two countries' military relations for decades. Bright Star usually is held every other year, but the 2011 maneuvers were canceled following the revolution that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in January. This year's exercise is tentatively planned to begin in mid-September.
Little said there is no timetable for proceeding with the delivery of four F-16s under a previously arranged sale to Egypt, and he was not specific about the reasons for delaying it.
"Just given the overall situation in Egypt right now we thought it prudent to make this decision," he said, adding that it ultimately was Obama's decision. Other officials said a decision was prompted by the delivery schedule but the administration is still considering whether to impose a broader suspension on military assistance.

Jewish Journeys
Joshua Hammer's book is called "Chosen by God: A Brother's Journey" (Hyperion Press), and while the titular journey refers to his brother, it may very well apply to Hammer himself.
In Newsweek's Nov. 8th issue, Hammer — a foreign correspondent who will become the magazine's Berlin bureau chief in January — gave the nation a window into his life. In an excerpt from "Chosen" Hammer recounted his quest to reconnect with Tony, his estranged younger brother. During their time apart, while Hammer had traveled the world covering war and political unrest, Tony had become Tuvia, a "Torah Jew" with a wife and sprawling family, entrenched in an ultra-Orthodox lifestyle
"My brother became this amazingly novelistic figure to me," Hammer told the Journal. "I became mesmerized by what had happened to him."
In late 1997, after living on four continents in four years, Hammer returned to America and visited his brother and his wife of 13 years, Ahuva, at their suburban home in Monsey, New York. In rich detail, Hammer describes in "Chosen" working his way through the Orthodox-Mecca Rockland County, and seeing his brother in person for the first time in years — a "bearded apparition" amidst the clutter of a ramshackle home. At Tuvia's suggestion, the Hammer brothers take a trip up to Tosh, a Hasidic enclave in Montreal. It is during their drive that Hammer grapples with his brother's extreme views, as Tuvia expounds Messianic beliefs; disowns acting — his college passion — as engaging in idol worship; claims that the galus — the exile — is extended for Jews hourly "anytime a goy does a favor for a yid"; and defines a Jew ("I'm not talking about the Israeli state. I'm not talking about Steven Spielberg. I'm talking about the frum Jews — the real Jews."). The trip (and Newsweek excerpt) culminates in a frenzied tish where Hammer experiences a fleeting face-to-face with Tosh rebbe and founder Ferenz Lowy before being shoved aside by Lowy's fanatical devotees.
If the selection he chose for Newsweek comes off as a damning appraisal of Tuvia and his way of life, Hammer notes that a crucial passage detailing a dinner at Tosh was excised by Newsweek's editors. He also emphasizes that the chapter is only one part of a book that wrestles to present a balanced portrait of his fraternal relationship. Hammer not only illuminates the reader on Tuvia's world, but the factors that led the two down their divergent paths — most significantly, the broken childhood they shared in the aftermath of their parents' divorce. As "Chosen" progresses, Hammer examines his own life as a foreign correspondent; his inability to deal with Tony's decision, which brought him much anger and embarrassment; and the ramifications of Tony's Orthodoxy on the entire Hammer family.
Hammer admits that he was put off by the intensity of Tosh's inhabitants, such as the physically-aggressive hysteria surrounding the Tosh rebbe.
"I really wasn't trying to be judgmental," says Hammer, regarding the Newsweek excerpt's ending. "I guess it was a powerful image of the anonymity, the subjection of the ego… It captured for me what a lot of Hasidism was about, getting those five seconds of connection… the majesty and the remoteness of the rabbi."
Heaping complexities onto Hammer's depiction of his sibling's world is the fact that Tuvia fell under the influence of Shlomo Helburns, a rabbi considered off-kilter even within the ultra-Orthodox community. The Helburns association eventually strained Tuvia's marriage to the point where Ahuva insisted that he address economic realities and forfeit his 12 hour days of davening for some computer courses. Hammer praises Ahuva's role as Tuvia's "reality check," and believes that Tuvia is "not representing the average Jew or even the average Orthodox Jew. He's come by an extreme influence."
Friends at Newsweek have long encouraged Hammer to commit his story to ink. However, roaming the world in the frontlines of difficult news terrain can complicate one's life.
"You don't ever have time to sit back," says Hammer, who finally spent October through April holed up at his Pacific Palisades residence writing "Chosen."
So in the aftermath of bringing their close encounter to print, just where is their relationship right now?
"It's currently suffering from a lot of damage," says Hammer. "He's really upset. He feels betrayed."
Even though Hammer was up front about documenting their reunion — the book's vivid dialogue transcribed from taped conversations — Tuvia felt that his older brother made him and his world look foolish. Of course, Hammer realized all along that his project risked offending his brother.
"The exploitation aspect is a troubling one," says Hammer. "The fact that my brother feels betrayed only underscores that, and I haven't found a satisfactory answer to this [issue]. It's complicated by the fact that it's my own brother."
"For a journalist," continues Hammer, "the truth is the most important [thing]. I know that sounds callous. I'm still wrestling with it."
With the distance between the Hammer brothers now reduced to some angry e-mails, Joshua is still trying to formulate a satisfactory reply to his brother's rage-filled missives. He also realizes that his readers may reduce both brothers down to a contentious metaphor for the interdenominational schism within Jewish society.
"I would say that's pretty accurate," says Hammer of such an interpretation. "I'm the assimilated, secular Jew, living in the temporal world; the world of ambition, working in the media."
At 42, Hammer remains single and rootless, led around the world by career. And whatever one says about Tuvia and his lifestyle, the ba'al teshuva is happily married, anchored by family and community. So how does Hammer respond to those who feel that his brother leads a richer personal life?
"They have a point," says Hammer. "My brother raised that point in a recent e-mail."
"A relatively happy person," Hammer admits that he has trouble committing in relationships. Yet he attributes this to his restlessness; a restlessness he suggests that both he and his brother derived from their tumultuous childhood, but express differently.
"Who's necessarily to say that one lifestyle, one approach is better than the other," concludes Hammer.
And even though a gulf still exists between Joshua and Tuvia and the future holds no guarantee of resolution, Hammer says he has gained from this experience.
"I have a lot of respect and understanding of [Judaism]. I don't run away from being Jewish. I'm really much more in tune with it," says the writer. After some more thought, he says softly, "I feel more rounded. I know my brother now."
Author Joshua Hammer will discuss "Chosen by God: A Brother's Journey" on Thurs., Dec. 9, at the National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles, 543 N. Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles. For more information, call (323) 651-2930.

Joe ForwardLegal Writer
Feb. 15, 2012 – The U.S. Supreme Court recently limited police authority to use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) when tracking individuals. Perhaps what makes the decision a "landmark" case is not the decision itself, but the issues left open in this digital age.
In U.S. v. Jones, 565 U.S. __ (2012), the Court unanimously ruled that officers of an FBI and D.C. Police task force violated the Fourth Amendment when they attached a GPS device to defendant Antoine Jones' car and collected data on his whereabouts for 28 days.
Jones, a nightclub owner in D.C., was under suspicion of trafficking and conspiracy to traffic cocaine. Police attached the GPS to Jones' vehicle in a public parking garage. Police had a warrant to attach the GPS, but it expired before installation, and they attached it in a jurisdiction not covered by the warrant. Thus, police installed the GPS device without a warrant.
Jones filed a motion to suppress the evidence obtained through the GPS device. The federal district court only suppressed data obtained while Jones's car was parked at home.
The other GPS data, which implicated him in the crimes charged, was admissible, the district court concluded, because "[a] person traveling in an automobile on public thoroughfares has no reasonable expectation of privacy in his movements from one place to another."1
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned the conviction, concluding the police's use of the GPS device violated Jones' Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and thus the evidence obtained from the GPS was inadmissible.
The Supreme Court unanimously agreed that police violated the Fourth Amendment. But the majority left the door open for future issues relating to a person's expectation of privacy in a highly digital world, including whether a warrant is always required in GPS cases.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects "persons, houses, papers, and effects," from unreasonable searches and seizures.
The U.S. Supreme Court majority – Justice Scalia (author), Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kennedy, Justice Thomas, and Justice Sotomayor – decided that physically installing a GPS device on someone's car and using it to monitor movements is considered a "search."
According to Dean Strang, a criminal defense attorney at Hurley Burish & Stanton S.C., Madison, the Jones decision means police will always need probable cause to install a GPS device.
"When there is no 'search' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, there is no probable cause requirement for police intrusion," said Strang, who represented the defendant in the GPS case of State v. Sveum, 2010 WI 92 (July 20, 2010), decided by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Whether installing a GPS device on someone's car in a public place is considered a "search" was a question left open by Sveum. In that case, police had a warrant. Jones forecloses any future argument that attaching a GPS to a car is not a search protected by the Fourth Amendment.
In Jones, the majority focused on the "physical intrusion" that took place. "It is important to be clear about what occurred in this case: The Government physically occupied private property for the purpose of obtaining information," wrote Justice Antonin Scalia.
The majority rejected the government's argument that a vehicle's exterior is somehow not protected when "thrust into the public eye," noting the officers did more than inspect the vehicle. "By attaching the device to the Jeep, officers encroached on a protected area."
In focusing on the physical intrusion aspect, the majority departed from a line of cases determining that the Fourth Amendment protects a person's "reasonable expectation of privacy." This departure results in a narrow ruling based on property rights.
It is this narrow property-based ruling that irked concurring justices. In a concurring opinion by Justice Alito – joined by Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, and Kagan – a minority agreed that police violated Jones's Fourth Amendment rights, but disagreed on the correct analysis.
"[T]he Court's reliance on the law of trespass will present particularly vexing problems in cases involving surveillance that is carried out by making electronic, as opposed to physical, contact with the item to be tracked," Justice Alito wrote.
The Jones court did not decide whether the 28-day "search" was reasonable – despite the absence of a warrant – because the government did not previously raise the issue. That is, the government forfeited the right to argue that "probable cause" and "reasonable suspicion" were enough, under the circumstances, to make a physical intrusion reasonable without a warrant.
That means the Court left open the question of whether a warrant is actually required to install a GPS monitoring device on a target's vehicle, if the search is otherwise reasonable.
Even warrantless "searches" can be remedied with exceptions, according to Strang and Wisconsin Assistant District Attorney Dan O'Brien, who represented the state in Sveum.
"The police will either need a search warrant from a judicial officer or an applicable exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant preference," Strang said.
For instance, is it still a "search" under the Fourth Amendment if police enlist a target's cell phone provider, without a warrant, in order to track a suspect through cell site location technology? That's an issue currently pending before the Wisconsin appeals court in State v. Subdiaz-Osorio, 2010A3016.
The Jones decision does not seem to prohibit the state from arguing the defendant did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the movement of his car on public highways, or that "exigent circumstances" provide an exception to the warrant requirement. In Subdiaz-Osorio, police believed the murder suspect was trying to flee the country, and wanted to obtain his location quickly.
"I do not believe that Jones would prohibit warrantless 'exigent circumstances' searches," said O'Brien, who is representing the state in Subdiaz-Osorio and has filed an appellate brief.
The majority's opinion in Jones suggests that future cases involving intrusions that are not physical in nature will be subject to the "reasonable expectation of privacy" test.
"Situations involving merely the transmission of electronic signals without trespass would remain subject to Katz analysis," wrote Justice Scalia, referring to Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967), which recognized that the Fourth Amendment protects a person's "reasonable expectation of privacy," regardless of whether a physical intrusion has occurred.
"The outcome of such a future GPS tracking case seems to me very uncertain, and I would not bet all my chips on either the law enforcement side or the individual privacy side," Strang said.
Using a reasonable expectation test, the Jones majority suggests, may produce a different result, because police do not generally violate the constitution when performing traditional surveillance to acquire information that is cheaper to acquire using a GPS device.
"It may be that achieving the same result through electronic means, without any accompanying trespass, is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, but the present case does not require us to answer that question," Justice Scalia wrote.
Sotomayor, along with Justice Alito's concurrence, foreshadow the types of issues that will arise in future cases that do not involve a physical intrusion, like Subdiaz-Osorio, such as cases where police access GPS tracking devices that are already installed in vehicles or in Smartphones.
Justice Sotomayor agreed with the majority that a physical intrusion upon property, at a minimum, rises to the level of a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. And she agreed that Katz's "reasonable expectation of privacy test" merely augmented, but did not displace, those cases that find Fourth Amendment violations based on a "trespass" to property.
But Sotomayor noted that future cases may involve GPS surveillance with no physical intrusion at all. "In cases of electronic or other novel modes of surveillance that do not depend upon a physical invasion on property, the majority opinion's trespassory test may provide little guidance," she wrote.
Meanwhile, four justices (through Alito's concurrence) would abandon the trespassory test altogether in cases of physical intrusion and focus on an individual's reasonable expectation of privacy. Under that test, police still violated Jones's Fourth Amendment rights, they argued.
Thus, in cases where police have not used a "physical intrusion" to install a GPS device, one's "reasonable expectation of privacy" may depend on the length of surveillance. And it may depend on the wealth of data that police can acquire through GPS monitoring.
"I would ask whether people reasonably expect that their movements will be recorded and aggregated in a manner that enables the Government to ascertain, more or less at will, their political and religious beliefs, sexual habits, and so on," Justice Sotomayor wrote.
Four justices agreed that police violated Jones's Fourth Amendment rights, not because of a physical intrusion, but because the monitoring went on too long.
Alito's concurrence noted that the line was surely crossed before the four-week mark, but other cases may be different. "[S]hort term monitoring of a person's movements on public streets accords with expectations of privacy that our society has recognized as reasonable," Alito wrote, suggesting that warrantless GPS monitoring may be reasonable in certain cases.
However, Alito's concurrence also suggests that Congress may be better suited to decide privacy issues related to rapid technological changes. "In circumstances involving dramatic technological change, the best solution to privacy concerns may be legislative," he wrote.
He noted that Congress and most states do not have GPS tracking legislation as it relates to law enforcement. Wisconsin does not statutorily regulate GPS monitoring by police.

Census.gov says 'Page not found'Monday, May 11th, 2009
During this economic downturn, we can only imagine that most visitors to the Census Bureau's web site seek information about employment and jobs with the Census bureau, as the Bureau will hire more than 1.4 million Americans during the 2010 Census, including the 140,000 who have already been verifying addresses across America.
At MyTwoCensus, we regularly browse and comb the www.Census.gov.
Naturally, we had some questions that needed answering, so we clicked on "FAQs." This brought us to a special section of the Census Bureau's site devoted to answering Americans' questions about the 2010 Census through a list of Frequently Asked Questions and an interface to submit questions to the Census Bureau.
On the top of any FAQ page, there is a list of navigational links, such as "Jobs" and "About 2010 Census." Very disappointingly, both the links to "Jobs" and "Timeline of Activites," which likely appear on hundreds of Census Web pages, are completely dead links.
Not only that, but visitors are not brought to a standard 404 error page, which any teenager who knows anything about HTML could build. Instead, browsers reveal a message that the page doesn't exist, and visitors must figure out on their own that, to find a job, they need to navigate all the way back to the Census home page, where they can find a working "Jobs" link.
This experience is extremely user unfriendly for job seekers, many of whom are likely older individuals who may not ever be able to figure out how to find the correct "Jobs" page. Just how many potential Census Bureau job applicants were lost because they couldn't navigate to the proper Jobs page?
Even though these broken links reside within the FAQ section, –which is powered by RightNow Technologies, a firm whose software MyTwoCensus staff has used for other endeavors– when any part of the Census.gov site is updated, the first task should be to ensure that all links lead to the right place.
Here are our recommendations:
- Fix these broken "Jobs" and "Timeline of Activities" links
- Set up a proper 404 error page, which will lead anyone who does stumble upon a dead link to a page that helps them find what they're looking for (check out some 404 inspiration)
- Run a dead link checker, to ensure all dead links are fixed across the site.
Anything else wrong with Census.gov? Let us know! We'll follow up in the coming weeks with additional thoughts on how to improve the Census Bureau's site. For now, fixing broken links should be the top priority!

Congratulations. I am happy for you and your son.
I was a Sea Cadet myself. Spent time underway with the fleet and with the USCG during my time. It is an organization that exposes you to what that world has to offer and instills a sense of pride and commitment. The feeling of being a 13-14 year old walking up the gangway to a haze gray hulk of steel to request to come aboard before steaming out for two-three weeks is an unforgettable experience.
What a great shot. That's awesome to hear about your sopne shakin.

Kick Drop: Nike Air Foamposite One "White Out"
This season, it's all white everything.
Before the official unveiling, Nike gives us a detailed first look at the new Nike Air Foamposite One "White Out." Referred to as the 'Memphis Madness' or 'Memphis Midnight Madness', these "so fresh, so clean" kicks feature just a hint of grey from the carbon fiber sole plate. You probably haven't owned a pair of fresh whites since your Air Force One days, so make these an essentials for the summer.
Grab these up when they drop on March 29th.

I made this cake last week and it was gone in a heartbeat.
Apple Nutmeg cake
1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 can of apple pie filling
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup walnuts
Place pie filling and nuts in small bowl and chop fine...so that the apple pieces are very small. Add eggs and
beat until well mixed. Add the dry cake mix and nutmeg and beat well. Place in greased 9 by 13 inch cake pan and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mix and bake for about 45-55 minutes. M M Good
