New Compound Bows for 2010
New Compound Bows for 2010
New hunting products for 2010
As the hunt industry continues to advance with higher performance products, although its not my gig to write hunt stories about hunt products allow me to produce the newest compound bows and other new gear for 2010 that will assist you in the harvest of this falls whitetail buck of a lifetime.
As aforementioned I am the type of writer that would rather discuss whitetail hunt strategies, however I realize that a whitetail deer hunter that isnt equipped properly can blow all his or her efforts by hunting with inferior equipment. Read further to view the hottest new hunting products for 2010.
Mathews Z7 Compound Bow
Experience the perfect blend of speed, and accuracy with the All New Mathews® Z7. Featuring the Z7 Cam which provides blazing speed with an ultra-smooth draw, the Reverse Assist Roller Guard that reduces friction for a smoother draw cycle, and a stronger, lighter-weight riser made with revolutionary new Grid Lock Technology combine for the ultimate balance in performance. The Z7 comes standard with the Dead End String Stop, Harmonic Stabilizer, Monkey Tails, SlimFit grip. This is the finest hunting bow ever produced. Mathews Z7- This Bow is without a doubt the best on todays hunting market. Expectations Exceeded!

Hoyt Carbon Matrix
The Carbon Matrix is Hoyts showboat bow for 2010 and features an all carbon riser. There are three main tubes that are hollow and make use of the same O Tech technology that Prince uses in its tennis rackets. With an ATA of 35″ and a mass of 3.8 lbs, the Carbon Matrix is one of the lightest bows on the market. A relatively forgiving brace height of 7 1/4″ and the new XTR Cam and 1/2 result in an IBO rating of 318 fps. While by no means a barn-burner, the Carbon Matrix is a smooth shooting, technologically advanced bow that will surely lead to a future of more carbon fiber based bows. The MSRP is $1599, so this is not a bow thats easy on the pocket book, however early reports indicate that it is selling well and Hoyt is rumored to be bumping up the production quantities to meet the demand.
Weight ranges 50-60lbs, 60-70lbs, 70-80lbs. Please specify weight required. All bows are adjustable 10lbs down from the peak draw weight.

PSE X Force Omen
THE LOWDOWN Shooting the same arrows at the same draw length (minus the 3⁄8 inch mentioned above), the Omen averaged an equally astonishing 319 fps. Sleek and aggressive, the Omen is powered by a new UltraFast Hybrid Cam system that PSE touts as the fastest, most efficient ever produced. The trade-off for all that speed is a long power stroke, a shallow valley, and decreased let-off. (The cam can be adjusted for a longer valley, but you lose speed when you do this.) I shot this bow well given the short brace height, and I liked the slim grip.
HITS The Omen feels light and maneuverable in the hand. Its surprisingly quiet for all that speed.
MISSES The cam turnover is rough; you may need a full-capture rest to secure the arrow. Dont let up, even a little, at full draw.
WHO SHOULD BUY Speed freaks who will accept a rough draw cycle to get a handy, comparatively quiet, ¬ultrafast bow.
PSE Archery
PSE X Force omen ($950) pse-archery.com

CROSSBOWS FOR 2010 New hunting products for 2010
There is only one choice of crossbow for 2010. Underlying sources tell of a major competitor crossbow company CEO walking up to the Horton Crossbow booth at the ATA show to view the new Horton Vision. The competitors CEO of another crossbow company shot and looked at Hortons Vision, and stated, We have been building them backwards for years, wow! One of the special new hunt products for 2010..
Legend HD Pro 175 Crossbow: It's Special!
This crossbow is very special. It is the legend, it comes with lifetime warranty limbs, and available only through Horton Gold Dealers. Called Legend HD Pro 175 Crossbow, this crossbow features Legend HD Pro 175 bow, laminated DP2 limbs, premium steel scope rings, Hunter Elite Lite 3-Arrow Quiver, three arrows, and three practice points.

Legend HD Pro 175 has 175 lbs draw weight, 7.2 lbs mass weight, 33 ½ length, 26 width, 12 power stroke, 20 arrow length, 90 ft lbs energy, and velocity up to 305 fps. Amazing!

Without doubt LaCrosse Footwear is the best boot presented to the hunt industry in a variety of designs for various situations. The Alpha Series of LaCrosse boots are simply unmatched in the whitetail deer industry. I always wear rubber boots to hunt whitetail deer in an effort to minimize human scent. LaCrosse Footwear presents the Alpha Series which range in camo from lite or warm weather rubber boots, to cold weather camo rubber hunting boots, to the extreme bitter cold pack weather boot. Youll catch me in one of three types of boots throughout the whitetail season based upon temperatures. The best new hunt products for 2010.
For early season whitetail deer hunting the Alpha Lite rubber hunting boots offer scent-free rubber, waterproof comfort of Alpha technology with less weight. With varying weights of naturally-insulating neoprene and leak-proof seams, feet stay warm and dry all day.

For moderately cold whitetail deer hunting temperatures my feet are shod with the The Alphaburly® Sport hunting boot features insulated, scent-free, waterproof rubber over 3.5mm neoprene for comfort and protection. Naturally-insulating neoprene stretches for a personalized fit and guarantees comfort. The boot is fleece lined for comfort, warmth and moisture management, and has an adjustable gusset with Cam-Loc buckle to accommodate varying calf sizes. The LaCrosse® Ankle-Fit design provides a secure fit. The Sport Chassis Outsole and EVA midsole cradle the foot for all-day comfort and provide stability on uneven terrain.

BEST SCENT ELIMINATION CLOTHING FOR WHITETAIL DEER HUNTING. (Hot new products for hunting in 2010.)
I have tried all the scent elimination clothing companies in the hunt industry and frankly, I dont believe any of them work except for Medalist. The Carbon lined clothing companies dont tell you that by the laws of physics you would have to light a carbon lined clothing elimination system on fire to reactivate the charcoal. Medalist uses silver ion technology that wont let you down, with a variety of designs for different weather and temperature environmental situations.
For over 100 years, Medalist has been developing performance apparel with one person in mind YOU. Whether its on the job, working outdoors, on the slopes, in the most remote wilderness, or even in outer space, you can count on Medalist for the ultimate in performance apparel.
SilverMax is a scent elimination system. SilverMax begins to work when you begin to perspire. SilverMax base layer rapidly wicks the moisture away from your body to the other layers. As this moisture passes to the lining of the SilverMax outerwear, the outerwear compliments the scent elimination properties of the base layer.
In addition to the scent-elimination properties, the most distinct advantage Medalist SilverMax Outerwear has over the competition is the thermodynamic body temperature regulation that our 99.9% pure silver offers. We have put SilverMax technology in our outerwear to the test and it is proven to increase the insulative and warmth characteristics in our garments. Ounce for ounce, SilverMax is warmer, and will keep you more comfortable in all conditions.
BEST BROADHEAD FOR 2010. New hunt products for 2010.
Titanium 2 Blade Broadhead
The 2.0"+ cutting diameter leaves a huge, gaping entry hole.
1. In flight
RAGE's streamlined 3/4" dia., along with its smaller Titanium ferrule, make it fly like a field-tip. The titanium body features an stainless steel over-sized instant-cut tip. The cam-deployed rear blades follow the tip without grabbing or deflecting, even on an angled hit, and are guaranteed to deploy before entry, maintaining full kinetic energy.
2. Upon impact
The SlipCam initiates and the blades deploy from the rear. Standard mechanical broadheads tend to lose power quickly upon impact. With the SlipCam Rear Blade Deployment System, that's no longer a problem! Its streamlined profile provides the unerring accuracy and arrow speed of a field tip, but you also get the full deadly force of a fixed-blade broadhead!
Advanced SlipCam rear blade deployment means no deflection!
3. Upon entry
Blades are fully deployed, for a full 2.0"+ cutting diameter!
4. Features
Slipcam Rear Blade Deployment System keeps energy and power through impact on into the target. Accuracy of a field tip with deadly impact of a fixed blade broadhead.
Titanium body.
Smaller ferrule - stable flight with over-sized cut-on-contact stainless steel tip.
Cam deployed rear blades - no deflection, no energy loss on impact. No rubber bands to hold blades in place during flight thanks to ShockLock system. 2.0"+ cutting diameter.
FREE practice broadhead included.
BEST NEW MUZZLELOADER FOR 2010. New hunt products for 2010.
T/C Triumph Bone Collector®
The new addition to the Triumph® Magnum Muzzleloader family is the T/C Triumph Bone Collector, the signature gun from T/C Pro Michael Waddell who helped design this revolutionary firearm. A one of a kind, exclusive gun that has all the great features of the Triumph but improves upon them by adding FlexTech® technology and Energy Burners to a shorter stock (approx. 1"). Also, added is T/C's premium fluted barrel with Weather Shield and T/C's patented Power Rod®.
This .50 caliber powerhouse is available with a composite stock in dark gray/Weather Shield or in Realtree AP camo/ Weather Shield. The Triumph Bone Collector is the most performance driven and innovative magnum muzzleloader on the market today. Wherever your adventures may take you, the Triumph Bone Collector will be there to help you take your next trophy.
BEST NEW BINOCULARS FOR 2010. New hunt products for 2010
I prefer the 12 x 42 binoculars from Nikon. The further I can see with the best optics in the world the better.

BEST NEW ARCHERY TARGET FOR 2010. New hunt products for 2010.
Bone Collector MLT-Super Duper (MODEL: 133)
The all new MLT-Super Duper features the late
st technology. We started with the very core of the target and beefed it up with our Nucleus Center, which creates a brutally tough target. Next we jazzed it up with an Internal Frame System that allows you to shoot every square inch of the target with any arrow from any kind of bow. Then we gave this 100-percent weatherproof target an E-Z Tote carrying handle for easy transport.
Go ahead and get yourself the MLT-Super Duper Field Point Target for year-round practice, and while youre at it, pick up the Bone Collector Broadhead Target to sight in your broadheads just before hunting season. Watch the value of your dollars go a long way!
Dimensions/Weight 25x15x27/35 lbs
BEST NEW HUNTING KNIFE FOR 2010. New hunting products for 2010.
Buck is without a doubt the company that has impressed me the most with its quality and durability. This year they are featuring two new knives Im crazy about. One is for field dressing and butchering, while the other is a caping knife you cant live without.
ErgoHunter Avid
Ergonomic design, improving hunting performance. The ErgoHunter series of knives have a new, innovative design exclusive to comfort and control for hunters needing a reliable skinning knife. The handle design is based on the primary gripping positions during use, to reduce hand fatigue and increase hunting performance. This version has new Alcryn® rubber which aids with grip. The skinner style guthook blade has a generous belly design that is perfect for skinning applications.
ErgoHunter Caping Knife
The ErgoHunter Caping knife is an innovative design exclusive to comfort and control for those needing a
reliable small game knife. This blade was specifically designed for caping game and is a great addition to the ErgoHunter line. Every hunter should carry an ErgoHunter skinner, caper and boning knife. The textured black Alcryn® rubber handles not only offer control, but comfort while utilizing an anti-slip texture for maximum performance.
BEST NEW OFF ROAD TIRE FOR 2010. New hunting products for 2010.
Although tires might be the furthest thing from your mind when hunting, keep in mind if your gonna get deep in the timber within reasonable proximity to your hunt area you better have a great off road tire that is affordable. Wrangler AT/S tires are Goodyear's On-/Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tires developed for the drivers of two- and four-wheel drive pickups and full-size sport utility vehicles looking for satisfying on- and off-road capabilities. The Wrangler AT/S is designed to handle tough off-road conditions, provide pleasing on-road manners and generate traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions.
Wrangler AT/S tires use a tough tread compound molded into a multi-faceted symmetric tread design featuring aggressive independent wraparound shoulder blocks and interlocking center blocks to combine rugged looks and low noise. Dual self-cleaning Traction Lug Channels and strong lateral notches in the shoulder area enhance on- and off-road traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions. The tire's internal structure includes twin high-tensile steel belts and a polyester cord body to combine durability with ride quality.
BEST NEW GAME CAMERA FOR 2010. New hunting products for 2010
We have used a ton of different companies over the 13 years of outfitting whitetail deer. By far, Stealth Cam has produced the best trail camera for 2010. The Prowler HD takes scouting cameras to a new level. This is the first scouting camera to record video in high definition. It records 1280 x 720 HD videos from five to 300 seconds. Customize your playback options with three video settings HD, D1, and VGA.

Round Rock has great weekend events planned for the community this July 4. Kicking off the big July 4 Frontier Days Celebration is the "Foosteps for Freedom" walk in the morning followed by the parade. There are a lot of entries for this years' parade so it should be a good one! If you are interested in being in the parade it's not too late to sign up. The parade is presented by Bama, from KASE 101, and will run on the Channel 10 television station. If this sounds like something you or your organization want to be apart of contact Bill Buckler at 512-255-9507.
I do not know about you, but after all the morning fun I am going to need to cool off. Feel free to join me at the Lake Creek Pool with KISS FM. You can take the kids, even out your new tan lines, and cool off while enjoying good music and radio station giveaways!
After cooling off I will head to Old Settlers Park at the Lakeview Pavilion where MORE festivities are taking place. I am debating the pepper-eating contest, but I do not know if I have the stomach for it. I have been practicing with the Papa John's pizza peppers (ya know, the ones that come in your pizza box). When I chicken out, I will be hanging out all over the park enjoying the Ballet Folklorico dancers and the Sam Bass Shootout. There will be games for the kids, a watermelon cutting, vendors and activities all over the park. I would not want to miss this! Talk about your talk of the town... So I hope to see you out there, I'll be running around dabbling into a bit of everything (maybe even the peppers)!
If you want more information on this years' July 4 Celebration feel free to comment if you want feedback, or visit www.roundrockfrontierdays.com for viewing your pleasure.
Have a Happy Independence Day!
Go for it on the pepper eating contest, Kristi. Rookies are a real crowd-pleaser!

This was a very difficult time for us.
We now own 4 dachshunds. I am glad to find someone who has the same kind of "fun" mind as I do for dogs names. Only one of ours has a "normal" name. His name is Baxter. He turned 13 this last Christmas Eve. Here is where the fun comes in. Our next doxie is named Carrots...he is 10, then we have Biskits, he is 6 and the last one is Pickles and he is 7. So, don't feel alone with the "funky and oh so cute" names. I love some of the choices you are looking at and can't wait to see pictures of your newest family member.

Great!" by Mrs gordon
Well, I saw this and thought it would make an absolutely brilliant beach bag. With the rope handles and the fact that it is lightweight, it will be brilliant to pack into our case. It will fit all of our towels and beach stuff in and is not too girly for my husband to carry!
Excellent" by rachel
This laundry bag is fab. It is made of a very strong material, and the extra big liner allows you to be able to pile the washing in over the top. A1..

The Basics
1/30/2014: The 2014 catalog has been posted!
Hello Again!
Another year is almost gone as I write this. It is always a challenge to put something on paper that others can relate to and not be repetitive. That said! Gardening is always a rewarding endeavor, and when dahlias are involved, doubly so. To those of you who are beginning this journey, I wish you luck, fair weather and HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS! Looking at our dahlia gardens in bloom still stops me in my tracks even after growing them for over twenty years.
GOD made the dahlia hearty and resilient, so no matter what the weather does, HE has always given us a harvest. Trish and I are slowing down as the years go by, and we keep trying to cut back the number of dahlias planted. This year, 2012, we succeeded in planting fewer tubers, but added varieties. It is hard to resist a new variety and even an old one that I've never tried.
We are planning to eliminate a few varieties this year, which will be difficult. Our gardens have old and newer dahlias, and we stress reliability. A variety must have a strong plant, grow well, produce tubers that store well, and have blooms that show and sell well to remain in our gardens very long.
We guarantee our tubers to have a viable eye and be true to variety, but we cannot guarantee a tuber will grow in unfavorable weather, insect, or soil conditions. If you have any problems with your order, let us know as soon as possible and before planting. We will gladly replace tubers, if possible, or refund your money.
Cultivars are listed with a combination of classification number followed by position number in group, name, size, form, color, plant height, year of introduction, cut flowers we especially like, and other info. You will find most of the "FABULOUS FIFTY" and "CREAM of the CROP" and good old reliables.
Bonus tubers: one for each $30.00 of tubers purchased; our choice and dependent upon supply.
A note to our foreign customers: we will be shipping Air Mail at a cost of $15.00 plus $23.00 inspection certificate for a total of $38.00 plus price of tubers. Send payment in U.S. dollars with order.
Confirmation will be sent as soon as possible. We ship Priority Mail within the U.S. on Mondays and Tuesdays starting April 1 unless otherwise requested. Shipping and handling rates have changed some and are at bottom of order form. Make payment by check or Money Order payable to Michael Valler – NO Credit Cards.

Governor Bill Haslam wants a new school-vouchers program to be ready by the time summer vacation ends. His proposal would divert taxpayer money from public schools to instead help some low-income students afford private school tuition.
Specifics of the proposal are not out yet, and Haslam says the kickoff date is hardly set in stone. Last year Haslam called 'time-out' on vouchers so he could study the matter, and now he says it's time to act.
"If you have a chance to help our lowest income students in our worst performing schools, why wouldn't you? If you want to boil it all down, it comes down to that. If we can make a difference for those students – lowest income, worst performing schools – why wouldn't we do something?"
Not everyone agrees vouchers are the best approach, arguing they can undercut funding for traditional public schools. But Haslam counters that vouchers boost college attendance, and give parents stuck with failing schools another option.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Zola (Exclusive)
Full Description (from Zola):
The Time Travelers Wife, one of the best romance books of all time, is now available as an eBook!
Audrey Niffenegger's dazzling debut is the story of Clare, a beautiful, strong-minded art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: his genetic clock randomly resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous and unpredictable, and lend a spectacular urgency to Clare and Henry's unconventional love story. That their attempt to live normal lives together is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control makes their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.
Plus, the long-awaited sequel to Audrey Niffeneggers time-traveling love story is finally here!
The ebook includes the first 25 pages of Niffenegers sequel featuring Henry and Clares daughter, Alba. Gifted with Clares beauty and Henrys unique abilities, Alba finds herself caught between her real-time husband, Zach, and her other husband, Oliver, a fellow time-traveler and musician.

And this long and intimate look into the lives, minds, and deeds of the men who rode the first American rockets into space remains Wolfe's best book and the first true classic from the dawn of space exploration. The race with the Russians, the dauntless Chuck YeagerWolfe piles story upon story, and the pile glows.
Bantam, 1996.
April: Classics
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Patricia Clark Memorial Library: Oz Omnibus: BBeB/LRF (Illustrated) / ePub / Kindle / Kindle (Illustrated)
We all know and love the movie, but as we all know "the book is always better than the movie". Let's find out if that is true and discuss together...
May: Mystery/Thriller
Cocaine Blues (Phryne Fisher #1) by Kerry Greenwood
Amazon US / Kobo
The Amazon description:
From Publishers Weekly
The growing American audience for Phryne Fisher, Australian author Greenwood's independent 1920s female sleuth, will be delighted that her diverting first mystery is finally available in the U.S. Fisher's off-the-cuff solving of a high society jewel theft leads her to her first professional engagement when a witness to her brilliance asks her to investigate a possible poisoning-in-progress. The detective's admirable willingness to intervene to help those in distress involves her in a variety of other puzzles, including identifying the King of Snow, who has taken over the Melbourne drug trade. Many of the members of Fisher's entourage familiar from later novels make their debuts as well.
From Booklist
Australian Greenwood has been exporting her outstanding Phryne Fisher series to the U.S. for the past several years, but the books haven't arrived in chronological order. Finally, we have the series debut, which explains how the irrepressible flapper (the series is set in the 1920s) became a detective. Phryne fans will relish the chance to see how beloved characters like Bert, Cec, Dot, and Inspector Robinson wandered into Phryne's life, and newcomers will enjoy getting to know ultrafashionable Phryne, who's wealthy enough to do whatever she wants but whose previous poverty has created a strong empathy for the working class. In Melbourne to investigate the mysterious illness of the daughter of a family friend, Phryne stumbles into a case involving two of the 1920s' signature evils: cocaine and back-alley abortions. Banding together with a crew of colorful local characters, and finding time to indulge in some erotic fun with a sexy Russian dancer, Phryne soon leaves her mark on Melbourne. From beginning to end, Greenwood infuses her series with evocative settings, multidimensional characters, and satisfying mysteries.
June: Award Winners

Amazon US

July: Non-fiction
Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin
Amazon Au / Amazon Ca / Amazon UK / Amazon US / Barnes & Noble / Google Play
Amazon.com Review
Oliver Sacks on Your Inner Fish:
(Since the 1970 publication of Migraine, neurologist Oliver Sacks's unusual and fascinating case histories of "differently brained" people and phenomenaa surgeon with Tourette's syndrome, a community of people born totally colorblind, musical hallucinations, to name a few--have been marked by extraordinary compassion and humanity, focusing on the patient as much as the condition. His books include The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Awakenings (which inspired the Oscar-nominated film), and 2007's Musicophilia. He lives in New York City, where he is Professor of Clinical Neurology at Columbia University.)
Your Inner Fish is my favorite sort of bookan intelligent, exhilarating, and compelling scientific adventure story, one which will change forever how you understand what it means to be human.
The field of evolutionary biology is just beginning an exciting new age of discovery, and Neil Shubin's research expeditions around the world have redefined the way we now look at the origins of mammals, frogs, crocodiles, tetrapods, and sarcopterygian fishand thus the way we look at the descent of humankind. One of Shubin's groundbreaking discoveries, only a year and a half ago, was the unearthing of a fish with elbows and a neck, a long-sought evolutionary "missing link" between creatures of the sea and land-dwellers.
My own mother was a surgeon and a comparative anatomist, and she drummed it into me, and into all of her students, that our own anatomy is unintelligible without a knowledge of its evolutionary origins and precursors. The human body becomes infinitely fascinating with such knowledge, which Shubin provides here with grace and clarity. Your Inner Fish shows us how, like the fish with elbows, we carry the whole history of evolution within our own bodies, and how the human genome links us with the rest of life on earth.
Shubin is not only a distinguished scientist, but a wonderfully lucid and elegant writer; he is an irrepressibly enthusiastic teacher whose humor and intelligence and spellbinding narrative make this book an absolute delight. Your Inner Fish is not only a great read; it marks the debut of a science writer of the first rank.
August: Science Fiction
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
Amazon US / Barnes & Noble / Kobo
The Time Traveller, a dreamer obsessed with traveling through time, builds himself a time machine and, much to his surprise, travels over 800,000 years into the future. He lands in the year 802701: the world has been transformed by a society living in apparent harmony and bliss, but as the Traveler stays in the future he discovers a hidden barbaric and depraved subterranean class. Wells's transparent commentary on the capitalist society was an instant bestseller and launched the time-travel genre.
September: Banned/Challenged Books
The Giver by Lois Lowry
Amazon US / Goodreads
Spoiler: To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
From Goodreads:
Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
Amazon Ca / Amazon UK / Amazon US / Angus & Robertson / B&N / Google Play / Kobo US / Overdrive
Harper Lee's Pulitzer prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep southand the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred, available now for the first time as an e-book.
One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father-a crusading local lawyer-risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
October: Patricia Clark Memorial Library

November: Foreign (originally non-English)
The Iron King by Maurice Druon
Amazon US / Kobo CA / Kobo US / Overdrive
Goodreads blurb:
The Iron King Philip the Fair is as cold and silent, as handsome and unblinking as a statue. He governs his realm with an iron hand, but he cannot rule his own family: his sons are weak and their wives adulterous; while his red-blooded daughter Isabella is unhappily married to an English king who prefers the company of men.
A web of scandal, murder and intrigue is weaving itself around the Iron King; but his downfall will come from an unexpected quarter. Bent on the persecution of the rich and powerful Knights Templar, Philip sentences Grand Master Jacques de Molay to be burned at the stake, thus drawing down upon himself a curse that will destroy his entire dynasty
Originally published in 1955 in French.

But these modern Americans will have no truck with ghostly goings-on, and set out to beat the spectre at his own game. (Summary by David Barnes)

Since I haven't gotten into a routine with this yet, please let me know if there is anything else that you would like to see in this thread.
I added the second post here to help out WT Sharpe in January, I figured out how much work just keeping track of the nominations are each month when I did that for June, so I thought I could help him out a little.

Big plays all around as Bears make statement in season opener

Updated: November 9, 2011 3:48PM
On the eve of the 2011 season at the team's downtown hotel Saturday night, Bears coach Lovie Smith highlighted why Sunday would be a day to remember.
Not because of the lockout, which threatened this season. And not because of it was the season opener.
This Sunday, Smith said, was "special" for another reason.
"I talked to the team about how this will be a game they remember for the rest of their lives," he said.
It was the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, and the NFL paid homage to one of our country's transcendent events.
At Soldier Field, Blackhawks' national anthem singer Jim Cornelison delivered his trademark rendition, as a field-sized flag was unfurled.
"It gave me chills," Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher said.
Whether motivated by Smith's speech, Cornelison's anthem or something else, the Bears were the more inspired team, as they routed the Atlanta Falcons 30-12.
And in the process, the Bears made a series of statements.
That they were widely projected to not only lose the NFC North title but also not to make the playoffs wasn't lost on them afterwards.
"There were a lot of questions about our team coming into the season," Urlacher said. "We are starting 1-0. We just need to keep going."
Smith would welcome some signs of progress from his offense, which was the third-worst last season in terms of total yardage.
The Bears put up nearly 400 total yards, they converted third downs, they had four different players provide a play of 20 or more yards and they watched quarterback Jay Cutler pick apart the Falcons for 312 yards.
"I was impressed," Bears defensive end Julius Peppers said of the Bears' offense. "Jay played great. If they give us 30 points, we're going to be tough to beat."
In 2010, the Bears were 27th in the NFL on third downs, and they especially struggled when only one yard was needed. Against the Falcons, the Bears were efficient converting 6 of 12 third downs.
On a third-and-one early in the second quarter, Cutler completed an 11-yard pass to a wide-open Kellen Davis.
Then, on another third-and-one with about a minute remaining in the first half, Cutler rolled right, then tossed the ball across the field to a wide-open Davis. It would have been a walk-in touchdown, but the pass was way over his head.
"Too great of a player to just miss it," Cutler said of the play. "It's just a shame."
But the Bears also converted the long ones, too.
Roy Williams had a tumultuous preseason, sullied by a handful of drops and questions about his fitness. But a wide-open Williams hauled in a 23-yard catch on third-and-six on the Bears opening drive, helping set up a 41-yard field goal by Robbie Gould.
On a third-and-six just after the two-minute warning, Cutler threaded a pass to Williams, who snatched it out of the air with cornerback Dunta Robinson just a step behind him. That gained another 15 yards and helped set up a 26-yard field goal.
"It's a good start," said Williams, who caught all four passes intended for him for 55 yards. "I just want to be consistent. It's not about catching balls, and all that."
But the Bears' defense also made a statement, beating up Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. In addition to sacking him five times, the Bears intercepted him once and forced a fumble that was returned by Urlacher for a touchdown.
"I thought they had a good game and really just outplayed us," Ryan said. "That's something we'll need to address and get better at."
Now, the challenge for the Bears will be to keep that momentum going.
They head to New Orleans, where they'll face another 2010 playoff team.
"We got a long way to go," Urlacher said. "We're decent right now. We can get better. We made mistakes.
"Our game plans are simple. We're building."

Greenhorn Question, couldn't find it on the boards.
Southern States sells chicken scratch (appears to be just oats and corn but it may have other grains) for about 20% less than corn. It's just grain, no fortification. Does anyone have any experience with using this for mash and if so, could you provide a recipe? Thanks.

Hooked on top of a small cliff dominating the center of the village, Villa Julia has more to offer than any other rental villa...
A few steps away from the village and its shops (the Paseo is at about 400 meters), Villa Julia is located on a small hill overlooking the ocean and the village houses, at an altitude of about 100 meters; it will easily host up to 11 guests in the greatest comfort, among a contemporary luxurious decor which combines sobriety and refinement.
Villa Julia Concept: Villa Julia was designed by a team of young and very promising Argentinian architects (the ones who designed the acclaimed Villa Sofia) with 3 objectives :
1) Contemporary lines : the owner wish was that Villa Julia offer clear modern looks, but do not look like any other villa in Las Terrenas; also volumes had to be big and different, adapting to the main asset of the location : the views!!!
2) Integration into nature : the plans of Villa Julia were thought to 'hide' the house in the nature without spoiling the panoramas; the main building roof is even covered by a beautiful garden of lawn and tropical plants!
3) Comfort and privacy : Villa Julia is luxuriously equipped with the best quality modern furniture and equipments, and nonetheless close to the beach and village, offers the quietest environment in town!
Facilities and services: Villa Julia offers a full range of facilities :
- automatic portal, private parking, 24h staff, day&night security, 6/7 cleaning service, cook, ...
- air conditioning, modern bathrooms, privates patios and terraces, outdoor showers
- washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, wine cellar, oven, microwave, outdoor grill, ice maker, ...
- large flat TV screen, satellite, internet access, DVD, hifi system, nightly colored pool, ...
- air-conditioned fitness room with seaview with training equipments, infrared sauna room, infinity pool with a flying sunbathing deck and numerous depths platforms, ....
At Villa Julia, everything was designed for your comfort !
Entertainment: Besides the classical activities of a tropical destination, Villa Julia's main asset is to be located in... Las Terrenas !!!
Las Terrenas is unique :
Excursions to National parks or local producers are a few minutes away.
For the watersports oriented : scuba-diving, surf, windsurf, kitesurf, sailing or deep sea fishing....
Did you know that kite-surf was invented in Las Terrenas ?
Do you prefer biking, horseback riding or golfing ?
Gastronomy is not just a word here ! The big number of Italian, Spanish and French residents of Las Terrenas logically made it a culinary destination for all the fine food adepts. Besides the tasty local cuisine, restaurants serving food from all over the world have flourished : seafood, pastas, pizzas, sushi, Tex Mex, burgers, beach BBQ, French elite gastronomy, paellas, tapas, etc...
And if you just want to party? You will just have not enough time to experience all what Las Terrenas has to offer !
In love of las Terrenas since my first visit in 2004, I immediately chose it as my second home... It is now my first home and I truly enjoy making my best to make our guests discover our paradise !
Patrick purchased this villa in 2009
When I arrived in LT, there was no luxury villa in the area. I chose this 'loma' (hill) because of its fantastic location : in the middle of the village, at a few steps from the beach, but very quiet and really above the crowd, in a very peaceful site which benefits from the Alises Winds.
I wanted to build a luxury home, but totally unique in its conception and decoration; reading our guests comments, I think I really reached my goal !
Villa Julia is unique !
La villa Julia est extraordinaire. Très belle construction, grandes chambres très belles, maison ultra moderne, cadre superbe. Nous avons passé 8 jours de rêve. Nous recommandons vivement cette location pour 8 jours, 15 jours ou plus !
*** Review initially posted on www.abritel.fr ***
Villa Julia is perfectly located, in a very quiet environment, but close to everything you need for ideal vacations in Las Terrenas.
Between a visit to the National Park of Los Haitises and a long bath in the clear waters of the Cascadas del Limon, well deserved after a beautiful horseback climb through the forest, you will have plenty of time to join a quad (4 wheels) excursion and discover cultural specifics like a family owned coffee plantation and enjoy tropical fruits or cigar tasting.
For the watersports oriented, surf, windsurf, kitesurf, sailing or deep sea fishing are available through local clubs, hotels or agencies. With a total security.
Did you know that kite-surfing was invented in Las Terrenas ?
For the more adventurous, a scuba-diving trip among colorful tropical fishes can be a fantastic option; unless they prefer, during wintertime, a tour to Samana Bay with Kim Bedall's team to watch the biggest that Mother Nature has to offer: whales !

Revel 77 is celebrating its first anniversary on Sunday.
The specialty coffee shop on Spokane's South Hill will be giving out door prizes of coffee and coffee-related gear throughout the day. Espresso shots over ice cream, or affogatos, will be on sale for a dollar. And there will be live music by Hannah Siglin and Blake Baxter.
Revel 77 is located at 3223 E. 57th Ave. It is open Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For additional hours of operation and other information, visit its website at www.revel77.com. Or, find the coffee shop on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Revel77, or on Twitter @Revel77.
And stay tuned: Beer and wine are slated to be sold at the coffee shop in mid November.
Zach Schulte, the 24-year-old barista and bartender who runs show-and-tell at Boots Bakery and Lounge, got his job six months ago with a haiku he submitted online, via Facebook.
Owner Alison Collins said she was impressed with his creativity.
"I don't care about resumes," she said. "I have these crazy questionnaires."
A haiku is a short Japanese poem, which typically has 17 syllables – five in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the last.
Schulte's doesn't exactly follow that mold. But it got him at job at the bakery.
Here's Schulte's job-getting haiku-like poem about Boots:
My cats keep trying
To eat my vegan biscuits and sausage gravy
Tonight, dine on this vegan fettuccine with alfredo sauce … damn.
Barely a week after it celebrated its one-year anniversary, EJ's Garden Bistro has called it quits.
The Browne's Addition eatery made the announcement this morning via Twitter, thanking followers for their business.
Staff followed up later in the day with an email to Too Many Cooks, saying the restaurant closed Sunday and "will not reopen."
EJ's celebrated its one-year anniversary on Sept. 27.
It anchors the northeast corner of the intersection of West Pacific Avenue and South Cannon Street in the heart of Browne's Addition. The bistro – with its second-story bar, front porch-seating, fire pit and courtyard with strings of light – was open for brunch on Saturday and Sunday and lunch and dinner on weekdays. It was closed on Tuesdays.
According to today's email to Too Many Cooks, "Mary Moltke, owner, would like to thank all of those who have supported EJ's over the last year. Mary's daughter, Heidi Moltke, who relocated from (New York) City, will be taking the business in another direction."
There's no word yet on what that direction might be or when that might happen. But EJ's staff promised to keep Too Many Cooks posted.
Last month, a Spokane woman asked area residents to vote online for her sister's recipe in the Pillsbury Bake-Off.
This month, Kathy Coon called back to report her sister, Kelly Story of Sunnyside, Wash., will be going to Las Vegas to compete in the "Quick Rise and Shine Breakfast" category.
This was the first year in the 64-year history of the contest that fans had the chance to choose which recipes made the cut.
Story's Raspberry Apple Stacks recipe stacked up.
She will be one of100 finalists competing for the $1 million grand prize next month.
Official rules and other information can be found at www.BakeOff.com.
Sugar in cornbread?
"Oh, the humanity!" writes Jack Vines of Spokane, a longtime Spokesman-Review reader and self-described "Southern-born man who learned to make and eat cornbread at his great-grandmother's wood-fired stove."
He's dubious of a recipe for the "proud Southern staple" which comes from "someone who styles herself as 'Barefoot Contessa'" – and he's willing to share his own.
"Cornbread does not contain sugar. Yankee cake-like recipes contain sugar and flour," Vines says.
And that's not all.
"A 'cornbread' recipe with three cups of flour and one cup of cornmeal is just wrong. That would be a slightly grainy cake! Cornbread," Vines writes, "is made with cornmeal, end of story."
His version uses vintage cast-iron cookware and, of course, there's no sugar added.
"For some of us, cornbread is a sacrament," Vines writes. "Debase a religion at one's peril."
Real Southern Buttermilk Cornbread
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons warm, melted bacon grease
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg lightly beaten
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place two Griswold iron corn stick pans into oven to heat. Stir dry ingredients into a cast-iron bowl. (Vines favors the Griswold Scotch variety.) Add buttermilk and egg to bowl and mix. Add bacon grease and mix. Ladle into heated corn stick pans and convection bake until golden on top and brown on bottom, 12 to 15 minutes.
Note: Any sticks of cornbread not eaten with dinner become dessert, topped with butter and Spring Valley Farms sorghum syrup.
MacKenzie River Pizza Co. in downtown Spokane is celebrating its grand opening.
The new restaurant opened for business at 11 a.m. today at 818 W. Riverside Ave., Suite A.
The menu features nearly two dozen pizzas as well as soups, salads, sandwiches, salads, pastas, appetizers and desserts.
The company, a regional franchise headquartered in Montana, has restaurants in Washington, Idaho, North Dakota and Indiana as well as Montana. This is its third restaurant in Spokane.
Its other two Spokane restaurants are located at 9225 N. Nevada St. on the Northside and 2910 E. 57th Ave., Suite E, on the South Hill.

Releasing a sci-fi strategy game within weeks of Halo Wars is a bit like dressing up as a clown and performing cartwheels in your garage while the circus is in town. No matter how floppy your shoes or how many custard pies to the face you can take, no-one's going to come and see you, man.
That said, Stormrise carries quite the pedigree, coming from the developer responsible for the ever-acclaimed Total War historical strategy games on PC.
No Romans or Barbarians here, however - it's about two opposing tribes of humanity squaring off for control of a far-future, post-apocalyptic Earth. The tanks and robo-suits of the Echelon battle the mutants and telepaths of the Sai because... oh, who cares.
Stormrise's plot is tedious, cliché-packed and murky: the important thing is you get to pitch attack planes against what looks like a bald version of that flying dog-dragon-worm-thing from The Neverending Story.
While Halo Wars takes a slick but very traditional approach to ye olde build 'n' bash genre, Stormrise has two big ideas that nobly attempt to push things forward. First up is 'Verticality', which really means this a true 3D strategy world, containing building interiors, rooftops and tunnels - as opposed to the usual flat terrain that may be rendered in 3D but basically plays like a board game.
Line of sight is everything. You can't see anything that your units can't see, but conversely you can genuinely hide soldiers or even gunships from your enemy with careful placement.
It's the values of, say, Call of Duty 4 multiplayer, but in which you control several dozen guys rather than just one.
Then there's Whip Select, intended to defeat the perennial problem of managing multiple units on the relative treacliness of a gamepad instead of a mouse. Instead of tracking a cursor across a screen or minimap to select the guy you're after, the idea is you nudge the Right thumbstick in the approximate direction of the lad in question, or hold it down to wave a sort of laser pointer for finer selection. The camera will jump straight to him, even if he's way off on the other side of the screen.
Whipped into action
It's a very logical idea, and to a certain extent it works very well. After a time
you'll build up a mental picture of where all your guys are on the map, so nudging over them becomes an instinctive action rather than being puzzling and slow, as you try and work out which units have which items.
When it works, you'll feel like some sort of psychic savant, able to skip across thousands of metres with an almost imperceptible action. When it doesn't - as is too often the case, we're sorry to report - you'll suffer an important unit being thumped to death because you keep whipping over to something useless on the other side of the map whenever you try to select him.
Perhaps it's partly the inevitable side effect of trying to reinvent the wheel, and partly it's a matter of presentation - Stormrise's major failing.
The decision to stick doggedly to Gears of War-style desaturated brown and grey in a game in which visual tics are your major way of distinguishing between dozens of units and actions is a hugely silly one. It's not simply that it's a slightly wretched, low-tech-looking game - it's that the lack of colour in such a zoomed-out, heavily populated environment makes it far too hard to tell what's going in.
It becomes reliant on those floating icons as a result, but they too are too small and similar to instantly reveal what they refer to, at least until you've spent long enough with the game to memorise each one.
That's Stormrise all over, really - truly, hugely clever ideas undone by weirdly inexpert execution.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Petey!
Facts about Petey
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Petey's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Petey is a sweet pretty boy with freckles across his muzzle and both brown and blue eyes. He is calm with an intense look on his face. He plays well with his siblings, loves to be held and cuddled. Social and happy! At 6 weeks, Petey was 6 lbs 6 oz.
There are nine puppies total in this litter and they will be ready to go home sometime in mid-to-late November. The puppies were six weeks old on October 31, 2012. When we rescued the puppies (and their mama!) we were told they were Dane mixes. While they may not grow up to be giants, these adorable babies are going to make wonderful companions regardless. We would guess based on their markings and personalities that they are likely Catahoula mixes - lab mixes, maybe.
These puppies are $275 to adopt which includes spay/neuter, microchip, any vaccines they are old enough to receive and all the other vet care required prior to them going home. Adopters will be required to sign an additional Puppy Addendum to the lease contract which will require adopters to socialize and train their puppies at an early age. If you're interested in adopting one of our puppies, please start by filling out and adoption application at SavetheGiants.com under the Forms tab.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Petey, a Fort Collins Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog for sale in Fort Collins, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog puppy from a breeder in Fort Collins.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Collins already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fort Collins breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Collins paves the way for another one to be saved.

Cops: Dad hid packs of PCP-laced substance in 2-year-old's pants
BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Criminal Courts Reporter August 13, 2013 5:36PM
Updated: September 15, 2013 6:32AM
A West Side father allegedly tried to hide 26 packets of PCP-laced drugs in his 2-year-old daughter's pants during a routine traffic stop near his North Lawndale home.
Emmanuel Wiggins, 24, was riding as a passenger in a Jeep with his daughter in his lap when police stopped the SUV about 1 p.m. Monday in the 1300 block of South Harding Avenue, according to a police report.
Officers questioning Wiggins about why the girl wasn't in a car seat noticed a strong odor that smelled like PCP, police said.
Wiggins, of the 1400 block of South Harding Avenue, told officers they were going to be dropped off at the corner, authorities said.
When Wiggins exited the SUV, the officers noticed a bulge in the toddler's pants, the report said.
An officer checked the child's pants and found a clear plastic baggie with 26 tin-foil packages inside containing a leafy substance laced with PCP, the report said.
Wiggins allegedly told the officers: "I'm sorry. I know I f - - - - - up. Please don't take my daughter away. I got nervous when you guys stopped us and I tried to hide it in her clothes."
The child was taken to St. Anthony Hospital to ensure she wasn't affected from her contact with the drugs.
Wiggins was charged with possession of a controlled substance and child endangerment, police said. Judge James Brown ordered him held on $25,000 bond, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
Wiggins, whose street name is "Blue," is a documented gang member, police said. He has no previous felony convictions.

When your box office competition is a beloved green ogre and the dawn of a new ice age, you know you're in for a tough Memorial Day weekend. And tough it proved for Kate Hudson, whose first solo headliner, Disney's family-friendly ''Raising Helen,'' grossed $14 million in four days. It's as much as her 2003 fizzler ''Alex & Emma'' made in its entire run, but that's not saying a lot. So what does the lukewarm reception mean for the starlet's career?
Disney, for one, is optimistic. ''We saw this as an opportunity to counterprogram, and we met our expectations,'' says the studio's senior VP of publicity, Dennis Rice. ''It bodes well for Kate's star power: Audiences find her adorable and likable, and everybody's rooting for her.'' Indeed, people seem to love Kate, what with her Hollywood-royalty lineage (raised by mom Goldie Hawn and her longtime partner, Kurt Russell), her rock-star hubby (the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson), and their infant son (Ryder, 5 months). Then there's her bubbly, down-to-earth personality and media-friendly charm. Given ''Helen'''s ad campaign, which consisted solely of Hudson's smiling face and those so-last-season Ugg boots, there's little doubt that the 25-year-old actress was the prime attraction. But considering that moviegoers spent a record-breaking $250 million at the box office last weekend, and only 5 percent of that on ''Helen,'' Hudson's path seems more gold-plated than pure gold. And despite her overwhelmingly favorable reputation, some say the jury's still out on Hudson's A-list credentials. Says one former studio head: ''We don't know if Kate has that type of reliable core audience that will follow her from film to film, like Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts.''
Now, now...no one's dialing career 9-1-1 just yet. Hudson has a slew of supporters who see a way for her to amp up her star wattage: Lose the lighthearted fluff in favor of more complex, diverse roles. (Since scoring a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for 2000's ''Almost Famous,'' Hudson has almost exclusively made romantic comedies.) ''Kate will be a better actress as long as she keeps challenging herself,'' says Donald Petrie, director of Hudson's biggest -- and only -- hit, last year's $106 million-grossing ''How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.'' ''An actor starts to wear thin when they take the [same] roles.'' Adds casting director Sarah Halley Finn, who placed Hudson in 1999's ''200 Cigarettes'': ''She's grown tremendously, and I think she's ready for a more dramatic role. After ''Jerry Maguire,'' Renee Zellweger could have continued to do romantic comedies, but she took on very different things. If Kate wants to establish herself in that way, she'll have to look at more challenging parts.''
It's a change Hudson herself is eager to make. ''I'm excited for my 30s because that's when you see a rainbow of more complicated characters,'' she told EW from the set of her next project, ''The Skeleton Key.'' ''I love making romantic comedies, but I'd get bored if I always did the same types of films. I didn't get into this business to do that.'' ''Helen'' director Garry Marshall agrees: ''We talked a lot about that, and I think she's got a much better idea of what she wants to do now. Kate's a real actress and will prove it more and more.''
