Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins
Back To Crime Life
Back To Serial Killers
More About Gaskins
Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins was born in 1935 in rural South Carolina. He grew to be a very small but ferocious man who was feared in the town of Prospect and the surrounding area. Gaskins sometimes told folks about his personal graveyard located behind his farmhouse and he also liked to drive around in an old hearse. Though Gaskins was an exceptionally mean person, his tales weren't taken very seriously.
When Kim Ghelkins, 13, disappeared in 1975, the investigation soon aimed toward Gaskins. The graveyard rumors and ex-cellmate Walter Neeley, who claimed to have knowledge of crimes Gaskins had committed, were enough to provoke police to start didgging on Gaskins' property. Nine bodies were eventually unearthed, most buried two to a grave.The death toll included three men and six women who had been killed from 1973 to 1975, including a two-year-old girl. Some were stabbed, some shot, and others drowned.
Gaskins was arrested while trying to flee and charged with eight counts of murder, though he repeatedly alluded to having killed more. Neeley was charged in three of the killings that were allegedly committed, at least in part, to cover the pair's petty illegal activities. Both were sentenced to die for their crimes in May of 1976, but later had their sentences reduced to life in prison.
The miniature murderer wasn't quite done yet, however. While in prison and under contract from a relative of two of the murder victims of fellow inmate Rudolph Tyner, Gaskins rigged a phony intercom system into Tyner's cell. When the gullible Tyner plugged the system into the wall socket it exploded and blew part of his head off. Gaskins was charged and convicted of murder and drew the death penalty again in 1982. He was executed for the killing on September 6, 1991

These are OEM tires on my 2009 Infiniti G37x. They are driven in spring/summer/fall and never in the snow. I put 58,000 KM on them. The Dunlop is an average tire with good road holding on highways. However it creates fairly loud noise on road joints. During the last year the car jarred on ruts and became very sensitive on the steering (pulling to the sides especially on braking). The wear on these tires is quite acceptable. I replaced them because of the issues and age (5 years). The Dunlop is more expensive and not cost effective. I put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 which I have yet to test.

Great tire but for treadwear. Tires are OEM on 2013 Lexus GS350. Very impressive; mom, who likes to be backseat driver, slept like baby at 80-85mph! Afraid I was going to fall asleep as well! Comfortable, quiet ride. Barely feel potholes/gaps in road. Must now replace (screw in one tire and cannot patch). Although performance was adequate in snowjam 2014 in atl, searching for all season tires with similar positive attributes (this is proving difficult). 23000 miles on tires, could possibly get to 25/30k but nothing more. Tires properly maintained and car not driven aggressively.

I personally not just like, I love these tires. These are OEM (SP Sport Maxx A1-A A/S) on my G37 and I had ridden them in dry, wet, snow and ice. They grip really well in all conditions, not to say dry and snow traction are the same, of course, can't be. Consider this, one time my wife made it up a hill road covered in snow where 3 other vehicles in front of her couldn't, one of which was a 4x4 SUV spinning front and rear not being able to move forward. These tires are quiet and phenomenal at cornering. Hydroplaned only once at 70mph on a highway going over a strip of running water, but which tire wouldn't in such condition? I do rotate them regularly and check pressure at least once a month, or sooner if outside temperature changes noticeably.

On my polo gti (stage 1 tune, exhaust, intake) through the twisties the start out absolutely awesome, only after getting quite a bit of heat into them, they start to lose their grip a bit. But overall great tyre! I feel confident throwing the car around.

Book 1 in the Wings of the Nightingale series
Lt. Mellie Blake is looking forward to beginning her training as a flight nurse. She is not looking forward to writing a letter to a man she's never met–even if it is anonymous and part of a morale-building program. Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer stationed in North Africa, welcomes the idea of an anonymous correspondence–he's been trying to escape his infamous name for years.
As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other's true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face-to-face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held hostage by their pasts?
Combining a flair for romance with excellent research and attention to detail, Sarah Sundin vividly brings to life the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing–and true love.

Litfuse Publicity Group
Seattle: Combining a flair for romance with exceptional research and attention to detail, Sarah Sundin vividly brings to life the perilous challenges of World War II aviation and nursing in her latest release. With Every Letter (Revell, September 1, 2012, ISBN 978-0800720810, $14.99) launches Sundin's new Wings of the Nightingale series in which three WWII flight nurses will discover friendship, love, and peril in the skies and on the shores of the Mediterranean.
In With Every Letter, readers meet Lt. Mellie Blake who is looking forward to her training as a flight nurse. What she's not as enthusiastic about is writing a letter to a man she's never met as a part of a morale-building program, even if it is anonymous. The recipient of Mellie's letters is Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer stationed in North Africa. Tom welcomes the idea of anonymous correspondence, especially since he's been trying to escape his infamous name and family history for years.
With every letter written back and forth across the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie get to know one another and develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other's true identity. Each has always felt uncomfortable in his/her own skin, but the letters allow them to shed some of their insecurities. However, when both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face-to-face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held hostage by their pasts?
In addition to the war raging around them, both Tom and Mellie face the inward battle of learning to see themselves as God sees them and grow into the people God wants them to be. Mellie has always seen herself as merciful as she cares for the sick and wounded, but the brutal events surrounding her stretch her understanding of mercy. Both Tom and Mellie also learn new depths of the true meaning of forgiveness.
With the Wings of the Nightingale Series, Sundin is able to uniquely combine her affinity for the WWII era with her medical knowledge and training as a pharmacist. "Although medications have changed significantly in the past seventy years, the basic concepts remain," explains Sundin. When asked about what draws her to writing about this particular period of time, she shares, "Not only do I love the clothes, uniforms, and music, but there's an inexhaustible supply of dramatic stories and settings-a novelist's dream. This was a time when ordinary men had to do extraordinary things, and when women explored non-traditional roles-while remaining ladies. As a pharmacy resident at a VA hospital, I had the honor of caring for many World War II veterans. As a rule, they were cheerful, kind, and chivalrous, with the solid strength of someone who has been tested-and passed. What more could you want in a hero?"
The book launch promotion for With Every Letter will include a Kindle Fire social media giveaway. Readers and fans will also be able to join Sundin in a live chat on Facebook on September 27. During the Facebook party, prizes will include copies of With Every Letter, Mellie's First Aid Kits made from vintage fabrics and loaded with Starbucks Via Coffee, and gift certificates. Watch Sarah Sundin's Facebook page for more details.

Four and a Half Stars. "Sundin skillfully uses alternating point of view between Mellie and Tom and pulls readers into their lives. The themes of anonymity and growing love linking the two makes this story a romantic read. ~ RT Book Reviews
Mellie Blake, a pioneering WWII flight nurse, does not fit in. Try as she might, her childhood spent in the jungle with her father has made it impossible for her to make friends, much less draw the affection of a good man. So when a chance to correspond anonymously with an army engineer comes along, Mellie proceeds, but with trepidation. Lieutenant Tom MacGilliver also values this anonymous correspondence because he feels unable to shake the stigma of his father's criminal sins and, like Mellie, assumes that for him, love, marriage, and family are not possible. When these two misfits find each other amid the ravages of war, a true love story begins to unfold, requiring both of them to let down their guard and learn to trust in ways that neither has been able to before. By telling this redemptive wartime tale of love primarily from the perspective of a young flight nurse, talented historical-fiction and romance author Sundin (Blue Skies Tomorrow, 2011) offers a unique perspective on the lives of military women during this time period. ~ Booklist
Sarah Sundin's first series put her on my must-read list of authors, and when I saw she was writing about the nurses in World War II, I was even more eager to get this book! With Every Letter is historical romance at its best. Sundin uses the setting and circumstances of the war to infuse realistic drama and fervor into the story without bogging the reader down with excessive historical details. I ached for both Mellie and Tom and the emotional scars that each bore from their childhood. Sundin beautifully intertwines the friendship forged with every letter and the difficult personal challenges and growth they experience as they serve their country, weaving a beautiful message of faith throughout this touching novel. I highly recommend this book and am already anticipating the next one, On Distant Shores, which will be released early next summer!
When I picked up this book, I was afraid that it would be predictable since the storyline is pretty straightforward. I was in for a great surprise when this book had me up all night, ready to see what happened next. I loved watching Tom and Mellie learn about themselves and grow. I also thought that the author did a wonderful job of mixing Christianity into the story so that the reader experienced several "ah-ha" moments throughout the book. It was well-written and enjoyable.
Review also posted at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A1FYIJIRNNNNYM?ie=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr_thx_pdp
The storyline was a unique one, and it was packed with historical tidbits in relation to the War. Places were mostly new to me, since the fight of the Allies was based in many camps overseas. Both of Mellie's and Tom's characters were well done and very fleshed out, flaws and all. Even though they would do things in a gauche way, we could definitely empathize with them as opposed to wanting to scream at them to grow up and face the music. The ending was my favorite, and warmed my heart. The author does not take her craft lightly, she diligently researches her material and presents it into a fabulous story that I won't forget. I am looking forward to book two, with the way book one was I can imagine we will next follow the story of Mellie's friends Georgie or Rose.
I love the attention to detail and historical accuracy of this novel. I really felt transported to that time in history and it made the characters very authentic. It's obvious that Sarah Sundin has a passion for portraying the stories of the WWII era. I now want to read her first series and the future books to come in this one!
What I really liked about With Every Letter is not just the "pen pal" theme but watching each character grow emotionally and spiritually through their letters and the experience of being in the army as the war goes on. The book starts slowly as the background and situation is set up but the scriptural passages are well chosen and Tom's & Mellie's faith shows beautifully in this story and by the end of the book you are fully invested in the tale.
Good Reads: http://www.librarything.com/work/12809868/book/89708343
What a wonderful read! I enjoyed reading about Mellie (Philomena..love that name!) and McGilliver's relationship forming through their letter exchanges and was taken in by the time in history in which their story takes place. Judging
by the cover of the book, I knew, "With Every Letter" would be a fascinating read as soon as I opened up the package. Another great one by Sarah Sundin!
I love books set in WWII and With Every Letter did not disappoint! Sarah Sundin has done an outstanding job researching this time period and duties of a flight nurse during the war.
Astounding attention to historic detail.
The author has an incredible passion for World War II history that is evident on every page. Day to day living, fighting, and surviving is shown with such realism that the reader can easily feel the joys and heartaches of this war.
The book pulled me along quickly and the letter writing made me envious of their pen-pal relationship. From the start to finish of this book, it is amazing to see the character growth that transpired through the encouragement given in these letters. Each had a strength that the other needed and through the anonymity of these letters, they were able to be themselves and be a blessing to another. (Side note: Is there someone you could write a letter to today?)……
With Every Letter is a superb story of friendship, love, and strong faith. The trenches of WWII and the exotic landscapes come alive with each turn of the page. If you're a fan of WWII fiction or Sarah Sundin I can almost guarantee that you will be even more of a fan after reading this story. If you haven't read a book by this author I highly recommend that you start with this new series.
I love reading historical fiction and became a fast fan of Sarah Sundin's after reading her Wings Of Glory series. So needless to say I have been champing at the bit waiting for more from this author, and all I can say is "With Every Letter" was well worth the wait! Ms. Sundin is a true wordsmith, bringing to life not only the characters in her story, but the time period as well. I find myself swept back in time, whenever I pick up one of her books. While I always enjoy the touching romance that she weaves into her story, I also enjoy learning a bit about history while getting my historical romance fix!
This book explores how things that happen in our past can affect our lives for the rest of our lives. Both of the main characters need to overcome something that happened to them in the past. It also examines how it is easier to share things with others if it is without fear of them knowing who you are.
Sarah Sundin did a great job writing With Every Letter: A Novel (Wings of the Nightingale). Both the main characters change and grow throughout the book. I like that their lives became like two subplots to the story of them getting together. It felt real. They encouraged each other in their faith and helped each other through tough times.
Lovers of historical fiction will enjoy this story. It's set during WWII – a lot of time is spent in Africa. It's about some of the first nurses that flew close to the front line to help evacuate wounded men. Other topics addressed are forgiveness, friendship, fear, prejudice, and being your own person.
I'm not sure what kept me so interested, whether it was mysteriousness of the characters or how easy the pages were to get through. The story was unfolding right before me. I was taken back in time and allowed to be part of these characters lives if even for a brief few months. Of course I don't want to give anything away because you need to check this book out for yourself. Some of the things I liked about Sarah's writing was the back and forth between the two main characters lives. At the beginning of each chapter you were told where you were and what the date was. This helped to keep track of the main characters.
My interest was captured with the letter writing. I thoroughly enjoyed the contact between these two people who quickly became friends. I grew to love both Mellie and Tom as the story unfolded and they were both soon stationed very close to each other. Tension started building because neither thought they would ever meet the other, and now they were so close. Would meeting destroy the close friendship they two now have? Or will we see a fast budding romance that will sweep us off our feet? I strongly encourage you to pick up a copy of Sarah Sundin's new novel "With Every Letter" for a wonderful enjoyable read.
The Greatest Generation comes to life as the characters risk their lives for their country in Northern Africa and Sicily. The dedication and determination that characterized the men and women of WWII are faithfully captured by Sarah Sundin's pen. Her characters seem very real — the innocence, optimism, grit and sense of honor and duty come across loud and clear. And the struggles they face with identity and fitting in are real across the generations. I also enjoyed the setting of the story. I knew little about the North African theater, and Sundin created some very vivid scenes. If you like a good romance, you will also love With Every Letter.
I should have been born in the 40′s. I love the clothes, the music, the movies. And whenever I want to make a quick visit to this time period, I know I can count on author Sarah Sundin to take me there. Her latest novel reminds me of several classics: Of course, The Shop Around the Corner, where Jimmy Stewart woos his sweetheart as her secret pen pal. Also, So Proudly We Hail, a movie about nurses serving in the South Pacific, and Cherry Ames, Flight Nurse, a favorite book from my childhood. Thanks, Sarah, not only for bringing to mind such great old stories but also for providing another wonderful drama to add to my growing list of '40′s favorites!
I was surprised with just how much I liked this book. While a pen pal romance isn't exactly new, the character sketches make this story unique. With each pen pal a near-total outcast in his/her own circle for reasons beyond their control, you can't help but wish the best for them, and as they emerge from their shells, each transforms into a beautiful butterfly.
Ms. Sundin has done an excellent job of portraying the era and locales. She researched the history of the flight nurses extensively, and it shows in her writing. The characters were interesting, and the story kept me hooked.
4 stars

I found With Every Letter to be a good read. I like the idea of an annoyous letter exchange. In the story it boosts the moral and adds abit of mystery. I would recommend this book to any book lover!
With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin immediately drew me in since it takes place during World War II, one of my favorite time periods in American history and it was easy to fall in love with Mellie and Tom, the two main characters in the book. The idea of writing anonymously to a solider sounds so romantic especially during the 1940's. Despite our accessibility to email and text messages in today's society there's nothing quite like a written letter I believe. With every letter (see where the title comes from) you can tell Mellie and Tom are both developing feelings beyond friendship. I thoroughly enjoyed how their relationship unfolded and the twists and turns they both encounter along the way.
Unlike anything I have read in a very long time I was captivated by this book. The characters, the depth, the drama and the uniqueness of their story was a breath of fresh air to me. I love great books and I especially love great Christian Fiction and this did not disappoint. With a touch of history, romance and faith it was the perfect blend of a get away in your hands. I soaked up this entire book in one lazy Saturday afternoon setting. I can not wait to see what other adventures, drama, and excitement awaits in the rest of the books in this series!
'With Every Letter', Book 1 in Sarah Sundin's newest series 'Wings of the Nightingale' clinches her as one of the very best Christian authors in Historical Romance genre!
As we have learned to expect from this best selling author each of her novels surpasses the last one!
Her three previous novels in the 'Wings of Glory' included 'A distant Melody' (see review here), 'A Memory Between Us' (see review here) and 'Blue Skies Tomorrow' (see review here) were stunning in their historical details and emotional dramas.
I consider it a blessing she now presents us another great story which is sure to delight her audience everywhere.
It was a refreshing read filled with surprises and unexpected turns of events. A book that was uplifting and generous in its characterizations even of secondary characters. A story that was heart-warming and real. A book that shares the unfailing connections that God can bring about even in our isolation, and even in the impossible ways we could never imagine…His love can reach us no matter where we are.
Well developed characters, a steady plot, interesting historical background, lots of drama and a sweet romance kept me turning the pages and the story ended much too quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed "With Every Letter" and observing the changes made by both Tom and Mellie, most of which could be directly attributed to the influence of the other's encouragement through their letters. The story is an excellent example of how we tend to believe that others see us the way we see ourselves and that the rejection we receive is usually because we set ourselves up for it. "With Every Letter" clearly illustrates how we need to see ourselves the way God sees us.
Overall, this was such an amazing book! The message of forgiveness and redemption was so poignant and came through without being preachy. I absolutely cannot wait until the next book in this series!! 5 stars!!!

… a page-turning historical romance.
This is the ultimate love story! Tom and Mellie are two similar people who jump at the chance of a safe friendship on paper, not realizing that they could possibly meet and fall in love in person. There is also a lot of tension once Mellie figures out who Tom is and she balances her secret letter writing and her in-person relationship with fear. There were many characters in this story and a lot of battle scenes that were not too appealing to me, but necessary to validate the flow of the novel. But the romance and tension was strong and delightful. I was hooked from the beginning. I plan to read more books by Sarah Sundin.
Review on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RRHTAUAA1XQC/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
I really enjoyed this book. When I first started reading it, I thought it was going to be like every other WWII Romance that I have read. I was wrong. It is very different. Sure, there is romance but the story line really takes you on a journey. Mellie and Tom's friendship is so wonderful to watch unfold. Being anonymous penpals gives them the freedom to really get to know each other. It isn't the type of "romance novel" that is filled with lustful looks….
This book is a classic love story and I really liked to imagine how it really could have happened during WWII between a soldier and nurse! I am so excited that there will be a continual series and I can't wait to read all the other books!
This is a great book. A very romantic love story that is a bit predictable, but told in a very different way. I love all the historic details as well, so it puts you right in the time period, right inside of the story. I finished this book quite fast, as I was very interested to see the story unfold. A great book!

With Every Letter was such a engaging book. I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with Mellie and her spunk, charm, and even her faults. I think all of us look at ourselves differently than others do and especially different than the Lord does. I think the idea of writing letters is so amazingly romantic. Mellie and Tom really put themselves out there since they feel safer then in person and this is thrilling. To be able to be who you really are and not have to worry about how others judge you would be so freeing. I found all the places to be really interesting and I found myself even more intrigued to learn about the war. The soldiers and nurses put their lives at risk so often for America and it is inspiring. I think we always worry that we'll carry on our parent's bad traits but we need to also remember to not loose the good ones! There were so many great themes in this book and lessons. We learned that we need to trust in others, that gossip is so hard on everyone, that we need to believe in ourselves and mostly that we need to trust in God. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read the rest in the series!
You're going to need some tissues with this book.
Thank you, Ms Sundin. I've read all your books and am looking forward to your next. I love the historical WWII details.

This is my first read by author Sarah Sundin and it won't be my last. She has created two interested main characters, clever dialogue, and beautifully written descriptions that made me feel like I was right there with them. Overall, I loved reading With Every Letter and I recommend it to all readers.
"Annie" and "Ernest". It was quite enjoyable to read about their budding friendship. They were able to reveal so much more about themselves through their correspondence than they ever would have if they had immediately met in person.
This is a really good story, and one of the least depressing World War II books I've ever read. I appreciate that I can read a WWII book without ending up depressed for days! I found myself enjoying most of the characters, and pulling for Mellie and Tom.
Sarah Sundin does an amazing job at sharing spot on details about the WWII and nurses during this time. I loved how Sarah used the letter exchange program between the two main characters in such a way that makes you want to keep reading to see how their relationship and romance progress.
Even though this is the fourth book from author, Sarah Sundin, it was the first book I read from her. But, it will definitely not be my last. I can't wait to pick up her previous releases. And, I am so glad I gave this war romance novel a chance. I absolutely loved it!
Mellie breaks your heart because she is so fragile and is so desperate for acceptance but has a hard time to associate with others around her, I know how that feels. For most of us we can relate to Mellie. Tom, wow! When I found out what he was hiding, you are seriously surprised. And I can understand why he felt it was necessary that he never reveals his true identity. They both have such a great fear of rejection. And you learn why and your compassion grows for them both. You can feel their pain and great anxiety.
What I love most about Sundin's writing is not the meticulously researched, put-you-right-in-the-action narration or the heartwarming romance (though both of those aspects help make her books stand out). My favorite aspect of her writing is her characterization. In With Every Letter, everyone—everyone—is flawed. Mellie and Tom, though wonderful, are far from perfect … and that makes them seem all the more realistic. They also both change dramatically, though believably, throughout the course of the book. All of the characters seem like people I could really meet, and that believability added to my enjoyment of the novel.
Sarah Sundin's books always take me on such a sweeping, emotional journey…I'm left nearly breathless as the two characters come together through an epic, romantic love story. And that's the trait that Sundin keeps up in With Every Letter. If you at all enjoy the WWII era or are interested in expounding your knowledge of this time, then Sarah Sundin is the author to go to! All four of the books she has written are exceptionally written and woven with a wonderful, emotional love story that you won't soon forget! I completely enjoyed every moment I spent reading With Every Letter!
We travel through battles and are reminded of who are our Allies…and who changed sides? Don't miss this really great historical read. I can't wait for the next novels in this series…They are amazing!
What a great start to a new series. First I have to say the author did a wonderful job in her research. My 16-year-old is a WWII buff and even read it and said, Mom she is on it!"
Sarah Sundin's With Every Letter (Revell, 2012) is a history buff's delight. Sundin's research into the formation of the 802nd Medical Air Transport Squadron and the introduction of flight nurses into service is impeccable and forms a fascinating backdrop to Mellie's and Tom's stories of courage, faith, mercy, and change.
A good read. Exciting at times, the romance between certain characters and at certain times is top notch, and I can't wait to read the next book in this series. I hope it'll be Kay's story.
Sarah Sundin did an incredible job of pairing this sweet romance with a deep historical background. As we followed both Lt. Blake and Lt. McGilliver among various regions and battlefields, I found a new understanding for the nurses that were at the front of the war, and the sacrifices and dangers that they faced. I highly recommend this heartwarming story of forgiveness, patriotism and hope.
Sarah has created the best characters with Mellie and Tom, both misfits of their own making. Mellie thinks she could never attract a man, and Tom is afraid of his father's past. When they get paired as pen pals they begin to help each other overcome their own insecurities.
Sarah creates great romantic tension between Tom and Mellie, Mellie is a flight nurse on the front lines, and Tom is in action running into each other is bound to happen right?
This book is a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
This reader is delighted that there is a new series Wings of the Nightingale coming from Christian Historical Fiction author Sarah Sundin. I still hold that A Distant Melody might be one of my favorite books ever and with all that I read, this is a really saying something – so bringing on a new series, I couldn't be more delighted and excited to see what I might find within the pages of such a novel and over the top, I was not disappointed. I knew, before I knew anything else, through a conversation with Sarah that this was going to be a war times You've Got Mail/The Shop Around the Corner story, but different and that's exactly what it was. I'd love to see *this* one as a film!
This story is more about the people than the setting, and while it is interesting it was the content of the letters and emotions that I wanted more of and was granted within these pages. Giving plenty of laugh-out-loud, quit-it-I'm-going-to-cry, and down right cannot turn the pages fast enough. (truncated review)
With Every Letter is a war-time story of love and hope. As I read it, I felt like I was getting a history lesson — but in a much more intriguing way than any history book I ever read in school! Sarah draws you immediately into the lives of Mellie and Tom, with a back-and-forth look at their lives. The setting of falling in love while hiding behind the safety of anonymity allowed me to see deep inside the hearts of the characters and learn about their hopes and fears. Right away I cared about them and enjoyed following the ups and downs they both went through as their story developed. There was plenty of war, romance, heartache, and joy to keep me anxiously turning the pages to the very end! I'm excited to see what Sarah has to offer in the next Wings of the Nightingale book.
Sundin's writing style is friendly, soothing and well, just fun. I felt like I could identify with both Millie and Tom – in a variety of ways. The characters seemed real – and I found myself wanting to keep reading to find out what happened. In other words, I quit feeling tired, and simply enjoyed losing myself in a quality novel.
And the historical detail? Just like in her other World War II books, the detail is incredible. Plus, at the end, there is information talking about what is historical and what is fiction. One thing I really hate is "historical fiction" that is filled with glaring inaccuracies, and especially with contemporary attitudes being forced into characters from another time. Sundin does not do that. Not that I'm an expert on World War II, but I know something of that era. Sundin's writing rings true.
The lost art of writing a letter is beautifully revealed through this book. Letters can reveal much about a person. You can even be more bold in a letter than you would normally be in person. Revealing so much about you and your heart is so much easier when you don't really know the person that you are writing to, either.
This was a great love story, but it also had a lot of spiritual depth. I loved it when "Annie" told Tom to just imitate Jesus when he struggled with leadership. When he studied how Jesus dealt with issues I learned something too. What great advice! I think I'll take it and use it in my job as well.
It was really very difficult for me to put the book down. I felt as anxious about all those letters as Tom and Mellie did. Sarah has an amazing talent to draw the reader in and make them feel like they are in the book going through what all the characters are. There were times I caught myself imagining the music of the 40's playing in the background. I can't begin to tell you enough or how much I enjoyed reading this and can hardly wait for the next book in the series!
Sarah is a masterful writer who captures the time with breath-taking detail. The journey of these characters will pull you in and leave you rooting for them to rise above their beliefs of themselves and do what it takes to risk love. I highly recommend it for lovers of historical romance.
From the very first letter that Mellie writes anonymously (and Tom's reactions to it), I fell in love with the story (and Tom). The dancing around of two souls who long to reach out but who fear what such vulnerability might bring to themselves and to each other, as well as the actual dancing the characters engage in, frustrates the mind and ultimately touches the heart.
I like history and, even though she won't admit it, I think Sarah Sundin is secretly a historian. It is her attention to details that help draw you into the story as well, of course, as her marvelous characters. Ms. Sundin makes you feel as though you are there in every battle, experiencing every life threatening moment and feeling intense relief when it is finished. Back to the characters, both Mellie Blake and Tom MacGilliver are presented in such a real manner that you feel as though they are friends of yours and when the book eventually ends you are sorry to see them go. "With Every Letter" is an exciting book. However, as exciting as the story is the romance between Mellie and Tom takes top priority as each of them deals with their individual issues. "With Every Letter" deals with themes of forgiveness and restoration as only God can produce. Ms. Sundin has done it again and I recommend this book highly. I am so looking forward to book two in this series.
Sundin has written another great novel of the WW II era. She has done her research and readers will learn a great deal about the campaign in northern Africa, the role of engineers, and the role of that new breed of women nurses aboard airplanes taking the injured away from the front.
What a great idea for a romance novel! Two people falling in love through anonymous letters. And the interaction between the two when their duty assignments allow them to be in the same place at the same time, yet each one not knowing the other is the anonymous letter writer (at least at first).

Making pie crust.
October 19, 2010
Apparently the most elusive skill in the world is making a wicked awesome pie crust. Pie is good. Period. I dig on pie. Hard. Blueberry, Apple, Pecan, Saskatoon, Pumpkin… whatever. Put the word pie after basically anything and I'm down.
The problem is, it's the main ingredient that gets all the glory, not the crust. Without a great crust, a pie is nothing. It's like Kurri without Gretzky, Hall without Oates, Thelma without Louise. I had a blueberry pie recently. Blueberry pie is usually in the same league as pizza… as in, even bad blueberry pie is still awesome. Problem was, the crust was so bad it was like I was eating a bunch of blueberries off a paper plate and had neglected to not eat the plate. Brutal. The beauty of the pie crust is that it so hard to get right. Many a daughter has tried to mirror the brilliant crust of her mother, and hasn't been able to pull it off. It's an amazing talent. Never give up on the pursuit of the perfect crust. It's worth the agony, the failure, the trial and error. Anything worth doing is worth doing hundreds of times. In crust we trust. Don't let it die.

Expertise in computational chemistry can significantly improve the efficiency of drug discovery; especially when it is well integrated with a dynamic medicinal chemistry team, as at Domainex. The ongoing development of theoretical models, based on the most up-to-date results, ensure that scientists have the best opportunity of designing relevant novel chemical entities. Domainex offers expertise in range of computational chemistry solutions including:
This includes the Virtual Screening of our Lead-like (NICE) database using a combination of pharmacophore-based and structure-based techniques (such as docking). See 'LeadBuilder' for more information.
Through techniques such as de novo design and similarity searching, we are able to identify patent-busting scaffolds and compounds.
By visualizing and analyzing models based on structural data, we are able to assist scientists in the rational design and development of novel molecules that bind to the biological target of interest.
Domainex is able to establish useful homology models for drug targets where there is no existing crystal structure information available, or to complete structural studies in order to resolve novel structures.
Using the existing knowledge of known active compounds, we can generate information-rich models containing pharmacophore features that are common to many of the known ligands. These models can then be used in Virtual Screening to search a database of compounds.
This can be used to optimize Structure-Activity Relationships and physical properties of compounds.

MONTEAGLE, Tenn. -- Authorities were searching Thursday for a man accused of shooting a deputy to death and wounding another law enforcement officer, a prosecutor said.
The officers were serving a warrant for probation violation when they were shot before dawn, said Steve Strain, an assistant district attorney general. A Grundy County sheriff's deputy was killed and a Monteagle police officer suffered injuries that weren't life-threatening.
The suspect, Kermit Bryson, 29, was considered armed and dangerous. Authorities believe he is on foot around Monteagle, a town of 1,200 people along Interstate 24 about 35 miles northwest of Chattanooga.
Bryson was named to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's 10 Most Wanted.
"I think people need to be concerned," Strain said. "He shot a police officer and shot at another police officer."
Bryson was described as a white man, 5 feet 7 inches tall and 130 pounds, with green eyes and several tattoos. His criminal record includes convictions for theft, burglary and a jail escape in 2001.
The officers' identities were not released. However, the mayor of Monteagle said the slain deputy completed his police training only two weeks ago. The deputy who was killed was also the father of five young children.
Bryson's former mother-in-law, Marcia Crowe, said she was surprised to learn he was wanted in a slaying. Bryson was married to her daughter for about a year before they divorced several years ago.
"I saw it on TV and I just couldn't believe it," Crowe, a 57-year-old from Dayton, said in a phone interview. "I expected him to steal, do dope and stuff like that, but I never thought he would kill someone."
Crowe said her daughter and Bryson have a 10-year-old daughter.
"He was kind and sweet to his child," she said.
Federal agents and local SWAT teams were on the scene Thursday morning with tracking dogs and helicopters. Officers wore bulletproof vests and carried rifles.
The area where police are searching is rugged, mountainous terrain at the southern end of the Cumberland Plateau.
Probation officials said the warrant the officers were trying to serve was issued because Bryson failed drug screens and violated curfew while on probation for a 2007 felony marijuana possession charge.
Strain said authorities often serve arrest warrants early in the morning because they expect suspects to be asleep.
Bryson was enrolled in a community corrections program, which the probation officials described as more intensive than state probation and required him to meet with his probation officer twice a month.
Prayers to the fallen officers family and fellow deputies.
I hope they get this crud-bucket quickly.

Dentistry Internships
A Work the World placement expands a dental student's training, while offering firsthand exposure to global dental health issues. As you work with dentistry teams in a developing country, you're strengthening both your personal and professional development in ways that few North American placements can offer.
The experiences you will have on your overseas internship are likely to be vastly different from anything you are used to in a domestic setting. In many of our destinations the dental facilities are greatly under-resourced and it's no exaggeration to say that you may find yourself working with equipment, and in conditions, which really test your skills and abilities. Oral and dental health may be less of a priority for local people, due to financial considerations, and as a result they often tend to present later than they do in wealthier countries.
Your placement
Our partner hospitals and clinics in each destination country all offer excellent opportunities for practical work in general dentistry, such as scaling, extractions, fillings and root canal work. There are also more specialist placements in oral cancer, maxillofacial and surgery.
All our dental elective students are allocated a supervisor/preceptor who will be their main point of contact. We ensure that this person is a qualified dentist and that they understand what you expect from your placement and, in turn, what they can expect from you. We appreciate that your dental school is also likely to have a number of requirements of this individual, and it is therefore important that you communicate all this information to our staff, during the pre-departure period.
Please check our individual destination pages on the right side of this page to learn more about available areas of specialty within each country. If you wish to work in an area which isn't mentioned here, you can always get in contact with us, to find out if it may be possible.
Requirements to join usBenefits of the program
While the cost of a Work the World dentistry elective may be similar to the cost of an independently organized placement, our program minimizes or removes nearly all the risks involved. First, we provide accommodation, meals and purified drinking water in a safe, secure and hygienic setting at our Work the World house, where students receive the ongoing support of our full-time staff.
We also guarantee a high-caliber clinical experience. Due to our solid relationships with our partner hospitals, dentistry teams there are open to your presence and involvement, and will willingly supervise students whether the program is part of your undergraduate studies, a dental summer internship, or a dentistry volunteer experience. The language and cultural barriers that hamper the foreign worker are greatly reduced, due to our staff's international work experience and our language classes.
You will receive support and guidance on all elements of your trip preparation, through a personalised online trip planner as well as regular contact with our Head Office staff.
Frequently asked questionsBroaden your Experience
We offer a unique range of supplemental placement options, which are designed to complement our undergraduate dental internships, and broaden your overall experience.
The Village Healthcare Experience offers the rare chance to live in a remote village in Nepal, Ghana or Tanzania. Working from a local clinic, you'll assist in the treatment of patients living in very basic environments with little or no access to western medicine. You'll live with a local family, take part in village activities and learn how local healers administer traditional healing methods.
The Ayurvedic Medicine Experience provides the exceptional opportunity to intern with a much-respected Ayurvedic doctor. Students live in an lodge and work at an Ayurveda hospital, based in a traditional rural Sri Lankan village.
In addition there is often the opportunity to be involved in volunteer work in your free time. For example, many students spend their afternoond volunteering at local orphanages.

Just a demonstrations of the little used 'clip' style to produce a vertical strip of each photograph including its border.
Click on any vertical strip to get the full photograph and if you are using IE then click off the photograph to collapse the image back to a vetical strip.
This also shows a bug in Firefox, which acts the same way as Opera (and probably Safari) in that the focus state is not held once the mouse button is released. Firefox should keep the full size image on screen until the mouse button is clicked again but it doesn't. However if you click on an image then drag the mouse a fraction then the image is kept active.
It also shows that IE6 gets it wrong with its clip style. If you use comma separators as per the specification then the clip doesn't work. But if you use space separators as is normal for padding, margin and borders then IE6 gets it right. Firefox doesn't mind either way.
I think that in this case the spec. is wrong and spaces should be used.

Open Source 3D animation
You need good software and plenty of CPU power to create virtual worlds. Luckily for today's animators, powerful PCs are inexpensive, and some excellent animation tools are absolutely free.
Not so long ago, professional quality 3D animation required expensive workstations. The software they ran, for example Maya (Unlimited Version), cost more than US$ 15,000 early in 2002, and the software technology was hidden behind restrictive licenses. As hardware prices started to plummet, the software prices stayed too high for amateurs at first, and the tough licensing conditions looked like they were there to stay. For most people, 3D animation on home computers was just a distant dream. More recently, with the appearance of the first Open Source programs, this situation has changed dramatically, bringing affordable 3D graphics to the public, and opening up the underlying technologies to let developers produce a whole new collection of applications. The expression "7 degrees of freedom" was coined by the K3D project. It stands for the 6 degrees in 3D space and the additional freedom to distribute and modify source code. This article describes some of the best Open Source tools for 3D animation.

Teri Hatcher: This Is the Real Me
By Kate Coyne
Special Offers
Hatcher's flair for food goes back to her childhood. She grew up in Sunnyvale, California, the only child of a father who worked as a physicist and a mother who was a computer programmer. "Since my parents both worked, they hired me when I was 11 to make dinner every night," she says. "I got a quarter a day. But I was always making things like duck a l'orange and baked Alaska. I was a little bit nutty."
And lonely. Growing up, Hatcher often felt she had to fend for herself, and she struggled to endure her parents' difficult relationship. When the subject of her childhood is first broached, Hatcher smiles tightly and says, "I've blocked it out." A few moments later, however, details begin to emerge.
"You know, parents do the best they can. But my parents are better grandparents than they were parents. They've grown a lot, and so have I," she says. "When I was a kid, they were both working, and they had a lot of problems. There was a lot of turmoil and not a lot of communication, and there was a lot of fighting. It wasn't great." Hatcher stops for a moment and becomes lost in a memory. Her enormous eyes darken, and it's clear she's recalling something particularly painful.
"As a child, I spent a lot of time alone," she says finally. "I used to sit in my closet with one cracker. I'd pretend that I was on the North Pole freezing to death, and I had to somehow survive on this one tiny cracker. So, analyze that! Why on earth was I so invested in such an elaborate survival scenario?"
Hatcher also felt it was her chore to heal her parents' tempestuous marriage. "I was always trying to fix things, to make the situation better," she recalls. "I used to beg my mother to wear a pretty dress, and I used to beg my father, 'Buy her flowers. Do something!' I totally absorbed how miserable they were with each other. And as an only child, I had no siblings to take any of the weight of it, you know?"
Today, Hatcher feels she has gained some perspective on the situation and has been able to detach herself from the problems of her parents, who remain married. "I finally realized that their life is not my life. At this point, you take what's good about them, and God knows there's plenty of that, and you don't dwell on the bad. And ultimately, I think it's good to come from some difficulties, because it makes you a survivor. And I know I survived."

Pork with Guajillo Sauce (Carne de Puerco con Chile Guajillo)
- Active Time:1 hr
- Start to Finish:2 1/2 hr
To bring out pork's flavor, try the classic Mexican technique used in this recipe: First simmer the meat, then fry it in its own rich fat. Don't be alarmed by the amount of chiles in the sauce, as mild guajillos simply lend flavor and body.
June 2006
For pork
- 2 lb fatty boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
For sauce
- 1 1/3 lb fresh tomatillos (12 medium), husks discarded and tomatillos rinsed
- 5 oz dried guajillo chiles (18 to 20), wiped clean (available at Latino markets, supermarkets, and at Kitchen Market; 888-468-4433
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, crumbled
Special equipment:
a comal or dry large heavy skillet (not nonstick) -
corn tortillas, warmed; cooked black beans
Cook pork:
Put pork, water, salt, and garlic in a 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot and bring to a boil, skimming froth. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until all of water is evaporated, 1-1/2 to 2 hours, then continue to cook, allowing pork to fry in its own fat, turning occasionally, until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Make sauce while pork simmers:
Cover whole tomatillos with water in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan and simmer, uncovered, turning over occasionally, until tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
While tomatillos simmer, heat comal over moderate heat until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
Toast chiles, 2 or 3 at a time, pressing each with tongs and turning once, until color changes slightly (some will inflate), about 10 seconds per batch. Transfer as toasted to a bowl.
Open chiles (wear protective gloves), discarding stems and seed cluster, then tear chiles into large pieces and put into a large bowl.
Transfer tomatillos to a blender with a slotted spoon, then add 2 cups tomatillo-cooking water (if blender is too full, blend in batches), reserving remainder. Add chile pieces and salt and blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes (use caution when blending hot liquids).
Heat sauce with pork:
Add purée to browned pork in pot and bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits from bottom of pot. Add oregano and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally and adding more tomatillo-cooking liquid or water if sauce becomes too thick, 10 minutes.
Cooks' note: Pork (with sauce) can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally and adding more liquid if necessary.

My absolute favourite fragrance ever! I had been pining over this for so long and then just purchased it on a whim and have loved it ever since. It is rather unique and a list of notes is evidence to that - ink, magnolia and patchouli create a grassy, almost oriental-woody scent that develops into a deep musky scent as it wears. It is also one of the best wearing fragrances i own, with it lasting for an incredible amount of time. The luxe curved bottle is also testament to Comme des Garçons and how their perfume range is top of the line. Such an iconic fragrance!
The first few times I tried CdG 2, I was intrigued by the unique notes - but after more thorough testing and really living with the fragrance for a while, I was disappointed that 2 wasn't as unusual and special as I had hoped. My first impressions were that this was a smooth, inky fragrance with a thoroughly modern aldehyde opening. Weightless yet totally smooth. Something about the opening texture had me hooked. It smelled like a synthetic material being used on something natural - like ink on a wooden scroll.
But throughout the drydown, CdG 2 became more and more floral and less and less unusual. A few hours in, it was just a woodsy rose with a light vetiver base. Where did that glorious inky smell go? In the end, CdG 2 was like a brief crush - infatuation for the first few days, but after some time together comes the vaguely disappointing revelation that your crush is really not that special.

Weird ink and citrus first on my skin. Citrus appears nowhere in the list of notes. Most of the other notes are identifiable if you concentrate, but the standout is the burnt pine needles of Sumi ink and this weird citrus note. DD is soft plastic smoky orange vanilla without real vanilla notes. Final DD 7 hours later is a lovely light soft floral incense that is barely there. My sister smells the Sumi very strongly the whole time and while it's an odd note, it's also rather fun, (art majors; go figure) and we both like this a lot.
I spritzed this on the other day in the store...the opening being one of the most bizarre, metallic, masculine and not-to-my-liking openings I have ever smelled. I then did my grocery shopping and walked around the shopping centre to find that I smelled gorgeous. The floral notes had developed and were not overtly floral in a girly, mainstream way, but in a sophisticated, understated way. I ended up loving this and two separate times later (each time I sprayed, was almost revolted, then loved it), I decided it was bottle worthy. I have had this for 2 weeks and am getting through my 50mls pretty fast. I have received compliments on it too. Definitely worth the spray test, just be wary that it might absolutely reek in the beginning, but the wait is worth it.

The two reasons I ordered this stuff: I liked the way it's notes were described, whether I could like this in real life, or I would just appreciate sniffing it once, also a friend of mine told me she used to have it and liked it a lot. Well it was her B-day coming up so I decided to order it for her. This discounter website was selling it at some good prices: I ordered two 15 ml bottles, in white cute furry covers. I wasn't able to stop myself and I opened one of the boxes for myself. And...
What a beautiful suprise! I could smell this metallic ink scent that's for sure, but it was surrounded by beautiful... aldehydes! I always hate aldehydes in perfumes but this was incredible! Not the regular granny stuff. Sweet-spicy-metallic-modern aldehyde opening just made me fall in love with it. But that's not the end of the story. Not only did it bloom on my skin like a gorgeous, to-die-for perfume, but it lasted for hours and hours. I could smell woods, angelica roots, spicy floral notes.... stunning. Just at the dry-down I can also smell mate-absolute, an ingredient so widely used by Comme des Garcons. It dries down so beautifully I am unable to understand why would anyone even rate it low. It is unique, comme des garconish, young and elegant, but also different than anything else I know, This scent can have as any faces as You need, for an office it would be a very elegant fragrance, for a party an interesting creation. Great!

Ok I get the "ink" and "Japanese paper", but it definitely reminds me of Weil Antilope, a fusty old dowager's perfume - heavy, musty, overly spicy, and just bad. I must have the wrong chemistry for this because I found it simply awful.....and I just couldn't get it off - it's indelible ink!
Wish Avignon or one of CdG's better creations lasted as long!
This is a fantastic fragrance. While it develops it shows so many faces and changes from strong, woody-balsamic-spicy in top notes through "metallic" middle phase to a soft, gentle, warm scent. Drydown is almost baby-soft, warm and clean like a summer breeze, yet incredibly feminine on my skin. It is incredible how 'chameleonic' and full of surprises this fragrance is (like some ladies already noted in their reviews)...almost "masculine", strong and "tough" at the beginning to such a warm and gentle, cuddling, comforting drydown.
Well, "8 88" and "2" are may favorites in CdG line. As far as I am concerned, I prefer top and middle notes in CdG "8 88" but the drydown is by far better and more beautiful in "2". All in all, I think that "2" is more complex and somehow "smarter", finer fragrance than "8 88". It is harder to understand it ("8 88" with its nice, pleasant and warm "golden" top notes is more beautiful on the first impulse) but when you do this fragrance grows on you and it is a HG material.

I sprayed a bit of "2" on my arm when I was in a Les Cortes des Ingles store in Valencia, Spain, walking and sniffing through the perfume corner. It didn't impress me and I forgot about it....untill an hour later when I was driving back home and had to sniff on my arm...over & over again!! WOW!, (I have to buy this) But couldn't remember what I sprayed because I'd held so many bottles in my hand. Luckily I saw an advertising the next day and recognized the bottle, so I ordered one.
It's like nothing I know, it's unusual (I like that), and becomes a really very soft woody smell. Last night I danced a few hours and this beautiful perfume was all around me, close.
Hope this will never discontinue.

Le WOW! This is, hands down, the strangest fragrance I've ever tried: every time I sniff it, it smells different, and I am all but incapable of pinning down any of the myriad olfactory presentations it offers. From the moment I put it on, it was as though there was nothing there -- nothing . . . but something. It is reminiscent of "void", to me. It conjures no mental pictures, it revives no latent memories. For a while, I thought I could pick out some bitter orange, or lime peel -- something sharply citrusy, but amorphous. And then I thought I had a little cumin, but cumin closer to that you might find in a fresh nectarine salsa -- light and fresh -- rather than something heavily stewed. Then, as I went through the smell catalog in my head, I thought the lightly incensed vibe of it might be similar to Avignon -- a cold, light, stony incense. And now I'm just at a loss. Whatever it is, whenever I sniff it, it's really good; light and soft and very close to the skin. I'm completely smitten and utterly fascinated -- I've found the olfactory equivalent of the effect great fatigue has on my eyes, when I'm unable to see something clearly unless I look at it sideways, and even then only briefly. Definitely FBW.

Comme des Garcons is such a fantastic surprise when it comes to perfumes. Their series are just daring. Skai, Tar, Rubarb. Although only a few really work for me in daily life, I'm terribly impressed. 2 is one of the most functional scents in the bunch. Oriental but with some nice surprises. The ink scent is lovely. It starts of a bit metallic on me but soon develops into a nice warm scent. Anecdote time: every time a boyfriend and i met up I would be wondering how my perfume could smell so fresh when i'd sprayed it on so many hours ago. The mystery was solved after many weeks, when I noticed a bottle of Comme des Gracons 2 in his room. He owned the mens and the womens/unisex version. (pocket size bottle is great as well)

"Lovely spot, couldn't ask for more…"
First time camping so no basis for comparison but found it clean, well equipped and very pleasant not least because of the kind staff. One of the main advantages of the Middle Paddock we were in is that the tents are pitched at allocated spots all around the edges so that you can keep and eye on the kids running around in the middle. Pub serves good food, booking advisable I should think, and the great climbing frame a real bonus.

The New American Divide
The ideal of an 'American way of life' is fading as the working class falls further away from institutions like marriage and religion and the upper class becomes more isolated. Charles Murray on what's cleaving America, and why.
America is coming apart. For most of our nation's history, whatever the inequality in wealth between the richest and poorest citizens, we maintained a cultural equality known nowhere else in the world—for whites, anyway. "The more opulent citizens take great care not to stand aloof from the people," wrote Alexis de Tocqueville, the great chronicler of American democracy, in the 1830s. "On the contrary, they constantly keep on easy terms with the lower classes: They listen to them, they speak to them every day."
Americans love to see themselves this way. But there's a problem: It's not true anymore, and it has been progressively less true since the 1960s.
People are starting to notice the great divide. The tea party sees the aloofness in a political elite that thinks it knows best and orders the rest of America to fall in line. The Occupy movement sees it in an economic elite that lives in mansions and flies on private jets. Each is right about an aspect of the problem, but that problem is more pervasive than either political or economic inequality. What we now face is a problem of cultural inequality.
