When you taste this Papaya there will be no other place you will want to purchase these - absolutely the best flavor!
Shop with Confidence
Your order is protected with the LocalHarvest money back guarantee.
Loaded with vitamin A and C, and with a host of medicinal qualities, this fruit superpower is probably one of the most consumed tropical fruits in the world: and for a reason. Go to any Central and South American country and visit a village, and you will see 5 generations of people - ask them if Papaya is staple in their diet and I would bet the farm that the answer to the question is yes.
The variety we carry is known as Red Lady and is rarely seen in any supermarket or mass distribution outlet. The flavor is sweet but mild and does not have the smell that gives papaya a bad name. Unique to South Florida there are only a handful of people growing this variety.
The outside of the fruit is green slowing turning to yellow or orange. The inside contains a lot of seed which you take out (but you can eat them). Eaten mostly raw its nice to squeeze some fresh lime on to add a nice citrus twist. Makes a great fruit salad when added to pineapple, mango and oranges. Drizzle some of my golden passion fruit and use it like you would on a green salad with the seed of the passion fruit and you will have a tropical masterpiece.
Due to the unusually hot summer, shipping highly perishable fruit is more tricky than usual Some fruit is arriving over-ripe. If you have an issue with your order, please call me. I pack every box myself, and want you to be happy with your fruit!
Fresh Gardens are growers and shippers of rare tropical fruits. Many items you may have never heard of, and that is what makes them so exciting. Most have been brought from South and central America and Asia. Although well known in those areas very few know of them here in the United States. That's my job as a grower of these items: to excite and get you into trying these exotic tropical fruit for the first time!
There are only a few areas in the United states these are grown and The Redland which is a 100 year plus historic agricultural growing region is one. We are south of Miami in Homestead just before you enter the Keys. You are invited to visit our farm for free as a tropical fruit of the month customer. We grow for you!!

It's widely believed that businesses need to have an online presence. There are many ways a business can do this, one of the more useful is to have a Places page on Google. If you have a Google Places for Business page and an Android device, the company has recently released a mobile app to help you manage your Places page.
Here is an overview of the Places for Business app.
What is the Places for Business app?
It is becoming increasingly apparent that users are conducting more business on their mobile devices. One function of business that has been slow to adopt the mobile platform is marketing. Sure, there are mobile specific ads and most apps come with advertising, but many marketing platforms lack mobile centric apps.
Take for example Google Places for Business. If you needed to change something or manage your Places page, you would have to either do so on a desktop or in your device's browser which can render a full desktop page, which is usually a bit of a chore.
Because Google Places for Business is an important part of the Google platform – it gives businesses a centralized way to manage their business's presence on Google's services – many marketers and business owners usually pay close attention to this. As such, they needed an easy way to access and manage their information from a mobile device.
Google has recently answered that request by launching the Google Places for Business Android app. With this app users can control and update their Places listings from their Android device. You can also change your business's hours, description, contact information, add photos and even post updates on Google+.
However, the most important feature of this app is that it allows you to view business related metrics, such as the effectiveness of your Ad campaigns and changes. While this is a feature rich app, it currently doesn't have all the functionality of the desktop app. For example, you can't respond to user reviews or create new listings from the app. It is also only available for businesses in the US, but should be available worldwide soon.
If you are looking to learn more about this app, or how you can establish a presence on Google Places for Business, please contact us today.

McCaskill campaigns for Obama in WNC
Published: Friday, October 31, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 31, 2008 at 7:53 a.m.
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill campaigned for presidential candidate Barack Obama on Thursday in Hendersonville.
McCaskill, a fourth-generation Missourian, former prosecutor and state auditor elected to the Senate in 2006, spoke in downtown Hendersonville at Flight restaurant.
McCaskill said she was in North Carolina on Thursday because the end of the election is close and North Carolina could go either way.
I want to make sure people arent distracted from the important issues, she said. There have been misleading robo calls. I want people to know the facts. Both presidential candidates want to cut taxes. McCain wants to cut taxes for the CEOs. Obama want to cut taxes for the middle class.
McCaskill said North Carolina has been welcoming.
One great thing about North Carolina is the early voting, she said. We dont have that in my home state.
McCaskill said she also returned to North Carolina because of superstitions.
I was here the exact same time before the primary and Obama did very well then, she said. I want to see if that can happen again.
Nancy Colangione of Hendersonville came to the restaurant to hear McCaskill.
I have been a big Obama supporter, she said. I came out today to hear Senator McCaskill speak. I have been very upset with the last eight years and appalled by the war in Iraq.
Frank Schilling from Macon, S.C., visits Saluda once a year to see the fall foliage, and heard about the senators visit. I am a yellow dog Democrat, he said. The issue that is important to me this election season has been the economy.
Schillings wife, Mary Grace, said she also supports Obama.
I want to vote for a person who cares more for the people than for big business, she said.

Released: Oct 14th, 2011
Running Time: 260 Min.
Director: Uncredited
Company: Girlfriends Films, Inc.
DVD Extras: Trailer(s)
Cast: Sinn Sage, Savannah Steele, Melissa Monet, Hayden Hawkens, Jiz Lee, Dyanna Lauren, Elexis Monroe, Ela Darling
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Girl
Women explore their sexual turn-ons with each other, rubbing their pussies together, passionately kissing every inch of their bodies. Real girls, real lesbian action, real lesbian cum.
Consider this lengthy two-disc release in the series an ongoing experiment in honestly portraying, and bringing to the screen, real girl/girl rationalizations and feelings that wind up as on-screen lesbian action.
Each disc starts with interviews and mental explorations as the women, paired off prior to becoming couples in action, frankly expose their same-sex desires. Sinn Sage and Ela Darling really get into this; more than 37 minutes pass before they get down to some action—and this verbal and mental foreplay really sets the cornerstone for their passion. Well done.
Difference in age is no problem here. Dyanna Lauren, with her gravity-defying hooters, nearly meets her match when Hayden Hawkens becomes her plaything. Melissa Monet, whose pre-sex interview reveals that it is her 47th birthday, is dying to sway from her usual dominant side and pair up with manly Jiz Lee to receive Lee's strap-on attention.

Who Is "The Walking Dead's" Ezekiel - And Why Does He Have a Pet Tiger?
Comic Books, TV
This year's Banned Books Week, slated for Sept. 21-27, will spotlight comics and graphic novels, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Banned Books Week planning committee announced today. Graphic novels have been the subject of a number of library and school challenges over the past few years, and the American Library Association's most recent list of frequently challenged books includes, incredibly, Jeff Smith's Bone.
Comics and graphic novels are somewhat more vulnerable to challenges because of their visual nature: While one would actually have to read To Kill a Mockingbird or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian to find potentially offensive content, all a would-be guardian of morality has to do with comics is flip one open and leaf through the pages looking for Naughty Bits. That's apparently what happened when the Chicago Public Schools attempted to remove Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis from classrooms; the move was based on a few panels taken out of context.
The public library system in Hertfordshire, England, has restricted who can check out graphic novels that are classified as "adult" — which includes not only mature-reader titles but also comics aimed at a broader audience, such as Batman and The Avengers, according to the local newspaper.
Often, these sorts of stories start with a parent who is outraged to find a child checking out or browsing adult materials. In this case, however, the issue was simply one of proximity: When Louisa de Beaufort brought her two children to the public library in her small town of Harpenden, she noticed that graphic novels of an adult nature were on the other side of the bookshelves that held children's books. What's more, mature-readers graphic novels in the adult section were shelved alongside tamer titles.
De Beaufort used her child's library card to borrow not one but 10 mature titles, including The Boys, Crossing Midnight and Fatale, at a self-checkout station in the library. She then complained to the staff that any child could check out any book.
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has teamed with Heritage Auctions to auction original art to benefit the nonprofit organization. Although Charlie Adlard's contribution has already been snatched up, the rest of the inaugural lot — original art by Jim Lee and Paul Pope, and a letterpress broadsheet signed by Neil Gaiman — are up for bid through Saturday.
"CBLDF's important work on behalf of the comics industry makes them an important organization to support," Lon Allen, Heritage's managing director for comics and comics art, said in a statement. "We're proud to join the artists who donated these pieces by contributing our services to help the Fund reach our bidder community. We hope to make a meaningful impact on their work protecting comics!"
Humble Bundle has partnered with Image Comics to offer a collection of DRM-free digital titles for as little as a penny, with a portion of proceeds going to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
The promotion enables you to name your price for the first volumes of East of West, Fatale, Lazarus and Morning Glories. Those who pay more than the average amount offered (right now, that's $7.57), will also get copies of the first volumes of Chew, Revival and Saga. And those who pay more than $15 unlock the first and 20th volumes of The Walking Dead.
More than 3,580 bundles have been sold since 11 a.m. today, totaling over $29,000.
Funding cuts proposed to punish two South Carolina universities for selecting gay-themed books for their summer reading programs could open the door to First Amendment lawsuits, 10 free-speech advocacy groups caution members of the state Senate.
The state House last week approved a budget that would slice $52,000 from the College of Charleston and $17,142 from the University of South Carolina Upstate for recommending Alison Bechdel's 2006 graphic memoir Fun Home and Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio, about South Carolina's first gay and lesbian radio show, respectively. The figures represent the amount each school spent on last year's program.
With the state budget now in the hands of the Senate, a coalition that includes the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the ACLU of South Carolina sent a letter on Tuesday urging the Senate Finance Committee to reject the cuts, warning, "Penalizing state educational institutions financially simply because members of the legislature disapprove of specific elements of the educational program is educationally unsound and constitutionally suspect: it threatens academic freedom and the quality of education in the state, and could well expose the state to potential liability on First Amendment grounds."
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund makes its first-ever U.K. appearance this weekend at London Super Comic Convention as part of the organization's efforts "to develop stronger international exchange for fighting global trends in comics censorship."
Among the thank-you gifts for supporters will be the debut of Mark Millar and Goran Parlov's Starlight #1 CBLDF Liberty Variant from Image Comics, a new Martha Washington print that will be signed Saturday at 11 a.m. by Dave Gibbons, and the return of Frank Miller's classic CBLDF Band-Aid image, signed by the artist.
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has unveiled Nick Klein's Liberty Variant for Deadly Class #1, which will premiere this weekend at Wizard World Portland in Portland, Oregon.
Debuting today, the new Image Comics series by Rick Remender, Wesley Craig and Lee Loughridge centers on students at a high school for future assassins in the late 1980s.
Attendees at Saturday's Comic Arts Brooklyn will have the opportunity to support a great cause and get their hands on some cool Paul Pope art. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund will be at table D11 selling, among other things, a limited-edition Paul Pope Battling Boy print. In addition, Larry Marder (Beanworld) and Jeff Smith (Bone, RASL) will be at the booth signing autographs.
Check out the full print below. Comic Arts Brooklyn takes place Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Mt. Carmel Church on 275 N. Eighth Street in Brooklyn.

Once in a while, when I go into the comics shop to snag my weekly pile, there will be something on the shelf that catches totally unaware. On Oct. 2, I was delighted to discover the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Liberty Annual 2013 (published by Image Comics). Given that all the proceeds from the book (previewed here at CBR) benefit the CBLDF, I wanted to interview Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie, who directed the project. While I had his attention, I couldn't pass up the chance to discuss some of the Dark Horse line as well.
Tim O'Shea: While seemingly an obvious question, I still think it worth asking: Why is it so important to you to volunteer your time for a project like the CBLDF Liberty Annual?
Scott Allie: Free speech is a near and dear cause, for me and for Dark Horse, and it's still an uphill battle for comics. There are preconceptions about this art form that invite attacks, and we need to work to defend against that. I want creators and publishers to be free to put out what they want to put out, and for retailers to sell it without fear of prosecution, for readers to travel with their books without fear of incarceration. The CBLDF isn't just about raising money in court cases. They're about educating the population about the art form we love, and I want to be a part of that.
Not many comics can say they made their debut during a brunch, but then again, not many comics are created by Jeff Smith.
The creator of Bone and RASL will attend a benefit brunch for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Kids' Right to Read program at the Society of Illustrators in New York City on Nov. 10, where he will unveil his newest project, an all-ages webcomic called Tuki Save the Humans!. Smith joined the CBLDF board earlier this month, and revealed he was working on the project at WonderCon last spring.
"… this is a story of the first human being to leave Africa, and all the forces of Africa are conspiring to keep him from doing it," Smith told CBR's Kiel Phegley at WonderCon. "I think it'll be fun. There'll be sabertooth tigers and other humanoids and Gods and things. It's going to be a lot of fun."
The charity brunch begins at 11:30 a.m., and the performance will begin at 12:30 p.m., to be followed by Q&A, an auction and viewing time in the Society's galleries. More information and ticket pricing can be found on the CBLDF website.
A New Mexico school district has at least temporarily removed Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere from its lone high school following an objection to the fantasy novel's "inappropriate" content." The book has been part of the 10th-grade English curriculum in 2004.
The Alamogordo Daily News reports that Nancy Wilmott, whose daughter was reading the novel as part of an assignment, was offended by a four-paragraph passage on Page 86 that "graphically describes an adulterous sexual encounter between a married man and a single woman in which the F-word is used three times, along with a brief description of groping of one's anatomy."
"I trusted the school system. I trusted the school district to pick proper material, and this is not," Wimott, who contacted school officials last week about the material, told KASA Channel 2. "I did state to the principal that this is rated-R material, and she can't get into a rated-R movie."
On Thursday, the school district ordered Neverwhere "temporarily removed from usage" until it can be reviewed.

Comics | Archie Co-CEO Jon Goldwater, writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Francesco Francavilla have a few things to say about the new zombie series Afterlife With Archie. "We are taking a series of characters known to be lighthearted and young adult-oriented and doing a horror comic with them, so the mood, atmosphere, and setting are very important to make this a believable horror and not a comedy horror," says Francavilla, who's also the creator of The Black Beetle. "Fortunately, I am really good at making things dark and ominous." [The Associated Press]

I think somebody posting things in order to try and get free bottles and free lunches.
And don't forget the free appetizers.
Absolut is Swedish Vodka, not Mexican.
Which makes the commodification of this cultural clash all the more relishing, if you ask me ;)
Vodka exists for bitches.
Paul Constant: Corporate Vodka Whore
Those crafty Swedes.
In a world like that, wouldn't we be drinking tequila, not vodka?
I don't get it.
Pretty colors.
Seems Stoli has bought Absolut for some billions. They will keep the label.
Giant vodka cabal....fuck you ....I like the stuff made in Flordia from citus waste.
yay! nothing like a shot of historical truth to get the haters all frothed up. beats the hell out of "Absolut Manifest Destiny" . VIVA LOS SWEDES.
Hey I gots this question and it's been bugging me. So like, I go to a bar and say I'd like a vodka martini. That's it. "I'd like a vodka martini. Please."
So who turns around and asks what brand of vodka I want? Or if I want an olive? Or fucking ICE?
I mean, when you order a drink and don't say, like, shaken not stirred and all that shit, it means, by implication, that you want the house vodka. And you want the standard martini, meaning an olive and no god damn ice (?) for god's sake.
Right? Do they think this upselling crap will make me tip better? I hate upselling. I'm right, right?
I also don't get it. It's just an old map of Mexico.
I guess it's not a problem that Mexico also is shown messing with Texas. Just California.
Wait, doesn't Austria own California already?
I've always liked Absolut's ads. Now I want some vodka... maybe I'll go to that guy's bar for cheap Ketel One.
Then why don't you drink vodka?
damn i wish it was like that. It'd be soooo much easier to goto mexico. *sad face*
Since the ad copy on the map is in spanish it seems that Absolute is trying to increase its Hispanic market share. They probably have market research to show that chauvanistic patriots don't buy a lot of their product anyway. Also Cinco de Mayo is coming up, along with St. Paddies it's mainly about drinkinghere anyway.
I think Absolut got bought out in a recent merger, actually.
As long as my friends at Lagavulin keep their fucking mouths shut, everything will be fine. But the Scots always are polite to we Americans- because we're not the English.
Would someone please tell elenchos that he's terminally clueless? Google "Aztlan," dipshit.
I don't think it's about increasing their Hispanic market so much as reminding us that, you know, Absolut is the clever person's vodka. Which it is. (Absolut, if you need my mailing address for those free samples, I'll be happy to oblige!)
What, macho man? What? If you have a point, make your point. Does this "Aztlan" have anything to do with how you order a drink?
I didn't even say that weak men with small dicks should get therapy instead of bragging about their guns on the internet from their mom's basement, and here you're all pissy.
Well, clearly you're too fucking stupid to perform a simple task, such as Googling "Aztlan," and prefer frothing at the mouth instead. Go ahead, froth away, it's a hoot.
Paul, you forgot to bold sophomoricand.
Stay out of this, Sven, this one's all mine.
I did Google it! I did! I found a bunch of stuff about "La Raza" and nothing about whether or not the bartender is required to assume you want the house vodka when you ask for a vodka martini without saying ahead of time which vodka you want.
Is there a chickenhawk thing here and not a gun thing? I'm assuming it's a gun thing and it's actually a chickenhawk thing, is that it? Or what?
I'm just tired of always having to say "no, house vodka" when I don't want to pay a lot for brand name. And I think they're trying to embarrass me into spending more, which I say is not cool bartending.
Whatever you feel about the justice of the war (isn't that the one Thoreau protested by not paying taxes), at current birth rates, Mexican Immigrants will have outbred us within this next century or so. If you want to keep up, get busy.
Gosh with such an uproar one would think The prophets picture was posted with a bottle of Vodka on top!
I always perferd ketal one anyway...I now I have something in common with those right wing vietnam vets hanging in those montana bars...mutal love for ketal one...for different reasons, but still common ground is common ground
Absolut isn't very good. Anyone talking about how they've been making the "best bloody mary you'll ever have" with it his suspect. Clever ad - cheap shot, but clever.
I'm drinking Absolut Vanilla straight right now (it's delicious). I also happen to be wearing a hot-pink t-shirt with a giant "B" on the front (not kidding). But fuck you anyway, you shameless slut.
history is so offensive
I'm still no closer to getting it, but I no longer care.
I'm now going to go eat my dinner, curl up and read for a bit and fall asleep.
Good night, sloggers.
Okey-dokey, elenchos, you Googled it, but not very thoroughly. However, not being one to stoop to your level of name-calling, I will simply point out that Aztlan is that part of the US that Mexicans think was stolen from them (e.g., California, NEW Mexico, Arizona, Colorado), in, I believe, the 1860s, though am unsure of the exact time-frame, since I haven't Googled it lately.
Like I said, an old map of Mexico. The way Mexico used to look before we started carving away pieces of it. I don't need Google for that.
What I don't get is why anyone would get bent out of shape over an old map of Mexico. But it's clear this is a chickenhawk thing. Any time little men obsess over symbols, like having a fit over folding a flag in a magic triangle, is a chickenhawk thing. So get puffed up over an old map of Mexico if you like. You still need therapy to address your yearning to be seen as a big man.
None of which I care about as much as my bartending question.
And they don't think it was stolen. It was.
Mexicans can't afford Absolut; so yeah, nice publicity stunt.
You know, if we just seceded ...
@36, much of the land that was "stolen" from Mexico was never really Mexican -- it was full of Apaches, et al.
Well, now that you've calmed down, maybe we can talk. Yes, they think it was stolen, because it's actually debatable whether they ever really owned it in the first place. Notwithstanding, we took it from them fair and square, or at least as fair and square as war ever is. Or maybe you think Texas should still be part of Mexico too? (Extrapolation of that same logic.)
37, the richest man in the WORLD is Carlos Slim, a Mexican.
My posts on Slog will be extremely limited here on out due to health problems: my liver will completely fail in about six months because I will be guzzling Absolut (which I don't even really like that much) day and night from now on, as much as possible. Fuck you, Michelle Malkin! I should be dead around Thanksgiving.
It's funny that you linked to Michelle Malkin's blog.
Her faux outrage remind you of anyone *cough Erica cough*.
1860s? Great.
Anyway an old map of Mexico certainly wouldn't have Panama on it.
Fifty-Two-Eighty, I told you, I don't care. This is a stupid thing to get excited over.
Talking to me won't help you with this problem anyway. You need to talk to a psychiatrist. You'll probably need to recollect your earliest memories of feeling inadequate, and then connect that to when the bragging and exaggeration started. This will shed light on your desire to be seen pushing others around, and to create imaginary connections with those you perceive as being stronger.
I'm thinking there will be drugs prescribed, but what do I know? Best of luck with all that. Oh, and lay off the drinking. Really.
Fifty-Two-Eighty, you are referring to this:
but I'm not sure that is what is being represented here.
The green portion of the map represents modern Mexico and the following U.S. acquisitions: the Gadsden Purchase of 1853, the Mexican cession of 1848, and the Texas Annexation of 1845.
This is precisely what Mexico looked like prior to the Texas Revolution in 1835.
Vodka is piss, and people who pay extra for "premium" piss deserve to be robbed, which they are. NONE of you boobs could tell Ketel One or Absolut or Grey Goose from freaking Fleischmann's in a blind taste test.
And elenchos is right: the bartender should just serve the goddamn drink the right way. If it was any of the bartender's business to make moral judgements, he's refuse to serve a person who ordered a vodka martini, because vodka martinis are disgusting, but they're not. If that's what you ask for, that's what you should get. I have EXACTLY the same problem when I ask for scotch'n'soda. I WANT the well scotch, which is why I said "scotch" instead of "Macallan 18 year". Which I would never do, because paying bar prices for good scotch goes against the, er, Scotch in me.
But Sven, if you have "friends at Lagavulin", then I need to flatter you more, because that's the best stuff there is, or at least that you can get in this godforsaken state, when you can even get it. I like the various kinds of Caol Ila I've tried better but they're IMPOSSIBLE. I bring them back from California or Nevada whenever I go there.
So yes, #12, you're right on both counts, though I despise house liquor. This was merely reinforced by the fact that I paid $7 for a well gin at Spitfire last night. That and over $15 for a double Jamison. Really? REALLY?
#43, I thought that was interesting, too. It's Mexico and the United States plus Oregon Territory circa 1835, with modern Central American and Carribean borders. Clearly this isn't just a historical map, it's an "if X, Y, and Z hadn't have happened" kind of thing.
All this, of course, doesn't diminish in any way the hilarity of clueless wingnuts.
Thank you. That's all I wanted to know.
@46 -
NONE of you boobs could tell Ketel One or Absolut or Grey Goose from freaking Fleischmann's in a blind taste test.
You know, I would've agreed with you, but I actually bet my girlfriend on this and was proven wrong. Sort of. In a taste test between Smirnoff, Monarch, Grey Goose, and Finlandia, we were able to guess the Monarch and determine that it tasted like horse semen. Smirnoff, Grey Goose, and Finlandia, however, were indistinguishable.
The lesson here, I guess, is that anything from the second lowest shelf or higher tastes about the same. But stay the fuck away from that bottom shelf.
I've had a hard time paying what they charge for vodka ever since I got a 750ml bottle of "Ruskaya Rulyetka" (you can figure out the translation) in Moscow in 1994 for about $2 - and it was the smoothest vokda I've ever tasted. Those markups aren't all going toward shipping, duties and tariffs.
@ 43 - Good catch. I'd forgotten that Panama is a very recent addition to the map. I've been told that Colombia is still smarting over that one.
#46, "NONE of you boobs could tell Ketel One or Absolut or Grey Goose from freaking Fleischmann's in a blind taste test."
Maybe not those brands (maybe), but there is good vodka out there. I had a shot of vodka from a bottle my friend brought back from some remote village in Russia, probably made in tiny batches, and that shit was oh so smooth. I would have brushed my teeth with it.
Tequila is the same. Anyone that writes off tequila needs to pick up a bottle or two if they're in Mexico, or just invest in an import, because it really is worth it. Even the stuff that was 300-400 pesos is like butter. I tried two brands, 100% blue agave, reposado. You really do not need the training wheels, in fact that would be a travesty.
And that was 300-400 pesos in a touristy specialty tequila store. The true price was probably a bit less. I looked up the brand that was 400 pesos ($40) and it was something like $80 to get an import.
Gee, whole lotta Denver - er - Mexico goin' on here tonight.
Laffed my brown Mexican-American ass off!!!! I'm going to the licker store right now to buy 2 bottles of Absolut and I don't even drink.
I don't understand why they decided to tack on Oregon and parts of Idaho and Montana.
Wikipedia pwns absolut. Next time try and get a more historical map. Yeesh, nice pandering.
I like it better that way. Pretty green... Much better than that drab brown... Let's keep 'em!
Tequila is a whole different thing. Vodka by legal definition has no taste, aroma or color. "Smoothness" doesn't mean anything, and if it did, why would it be good? You don't judge a scotch or a rum or a wine or a beer on "smoothness". It always sounds to me like you're saying "geez, that didn't hurt much". Booze is supposed to be a pleasure, not an endurance test.
And Russians? Russians drink cologne, they spread shoe polish on bread and scrape it off after an hour and eat the bread. The traditional way to drink vodka is for three guys to take one pull each off the bottle, emptying it. A popular entertainment in Russia is to pay a homeless dude a few rubles to down a liter of vodka in one. They know drunk but they don't know drinking.
fnarf@46&58: I should be more clear. I don't actually have any friends on Islay. Though I do want to visit there next year. I just consider the fine folks at Lagavulin my friends because they make the only alcohol that I enjoy, so they get pretty much 99% of my booze money.
What little else I spend goes to Don Julio. I thought I hated tequila, and then I realized that Jose Quervo is as related to real tequila as Will in Seattle is to real human beings.
There's no pleasure in scotch either, unless tasting turpentine is your idea of fun.
I'm not really allowed to drink tequila, since every time I do something catches on fire -- carpets, furniture, hair....
Islay's on my travel list, too. I got pretty close once, on the Cowal Peninsula, but that's about the only place in Scotland they DON'T distill in.
Actually, the mexi's didn't own colorado, just part of it.
Everything south of the Purgutoire and Arkansas rivers was Mexico.
@59 Don Julio is MY friend. Ever since my friend's dry wedding (terrible idea) and a couple of us snuck out to fortify ourselves, I've considered Don Julio a true friend.

how do you know what horse semen tastes like, tsm? hmm?
First: the phrase "We're going to need a bigger fence!" comes to mind.
Second: This is now my new wallpaper.
and Third: Absolut sucks anyway. I prefer Glacier from Oregon anyway.
A martini by a purist's definition requires gin to be the essential alcohol.
However, you can never know too much about the martini. Check out the Churchill martini. And perhaps there's the apocryphal story about the the Gibson's creation. As a long time social alcoholic, I've discovered the more you pay for higher-shelf vodka, the more you might as well be buying elegantly packaged water. For example, Grey Goose: if I'm going to pay $40+ for a bottle of vodka, I want to know I'm drinking alcohol and not Fiji water.
Instead of getting upset over Bush and Iraq and expensive gasoline, when are people going to start militating against the highway robbery costs of liquor and wine served in restaurants and bars? The only reason they charge $10 for a drink is because they discovered you'll pay $10. There should be no social stigma for ordering booze from the well.
I would sign this 54-40 or fight, but so few would understand.
#56, it's not supposed to be historically accurate, or Central America wouldn't have modern borders. It's supposed to be some kind of alternate universe (deep). Read #45 and #47 and look at this:
It matches perfectly.
#58, I'm rolling on the floor @ your second paragraph, hold on.
Ok. I agree 100%. When I drink liquor straight it's always scotch, irish whiskey (sipped, neat), or tequila (shot, usually reposado). I personally don't drink vodka. That shot over a year ago was probably the only vodka I've had in at least 5 years, even mixed. All I meant by "smooth" is that it did, indeed, have no taste or aroma. The whole point of vodka, I think, at least I hope, is to drink it fast and get crunked. The less it tastes like hairspray, the better.
I'm not really in the habit of describing anything else as smooth, except maybe a tequila shot, provided it doesn't want to make me wash my mouth out with a mild acid. Smooth, to me, just means that the intended flavor of the particular beverage isn't overpowered by a nasty burning hairspray/ethanol taste. Beer being smooth is a given. Moonshine and shitty vodka are not smooth.
#59, you should know, from what I saw in stores and bars in Mexico, Don Julio is to them as Jose Cuervo is to us. Not trying to diminish your attempts at drinking good tequila, just sayin'.
w7ngman@68: isn't Don Julio really expensive? It is here.
Can you recommend something better that I can try?
if this ad were for Canadians, they would have the green extending ocean to ocean and all the way up to the fucking border. Do you know how much happier I would be if I could cross the border and get mexican food? VERY.
#69, I can't say I've actually tried Don Julio, all I know is that it was practically bottom shelf tequila in Mexico at the grocery stores. There were guys walking around the beach selling shots of what would have been 'well' tequila, and they would have a bottle of Don Julio and a bottle of Jose Cuervo for the particularly non-adventurous tourists.
As for what I know is good, I just recently finished a bottle of Arette Reposado that was an insanely good shot. That was 300 pesos. I also got a bottle of Conquistador Reposado that I have yet to open, that one was 400 pesos.
You might incur some cost to import those, though I just saw Arette for $31.
ok let's get one thing straight. I make the best bloody Mary you'll ever taste. end of story. viva la Mexico, give 'em Texas.
vodka is to booze what beige is to color. boring, tasteless, kinda gross in my opinion. it has it's function but mainly it exists solely for people who just want to get their drink on and not have to deal with stuff like flavor and nuance. and, i'm not sure what bars some of you are going to, but as a bartender i would always default to the well vodka when simply asked for a vodka martini. i would also add vermouth unless told dry and i would include olives unless something else was requested, like a twist or whatever. and i would NEVER present that martini on the rocks unless requested to do so.

Rogue Legacy coming to Linux and Mac soon, will add save slots
Cellar Door is planning an update to Rogue Legacy which will make the indie rogue-like cross-platform and add the ability to make multiple saves.
Shack News reports the upcoming patch will add Linux and Mac versions of the game to Steam, and add save slots, so you can maintain multiple characters.
The developer actually has further plans, including a bunch of free content, but has decided to push it back to a second title update so as to get the first batch of changes out more quickly. Cellar Door isn't able to give specifics yet, unfortunately.
Rogue Legacy is available now on PC, and it's heading to PS4 and Vita.

Is there a clone of the windows recovery console for windows xp because I no longer have the disc to restore the MBR. I also need to be able to run this off a flash drive because my dvd reader is broken.
ok I see you didn't install the recovery console locally then! or store the ISO.
There is the windows xp 6 file disk set http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994
so-called "Windows XP Setup disks"
It can get you to a recovery console.
You could also try a Windows 98 boot disk. Downloadable.. FDISK /MBR that might do it.
Maybe there are some more modern better ways and then that'd probably be a better answer.
You can do it with Linux. Either boot a USB stick; or if Linux is already installed, you can rewrite the MBR as a "final act", which will make it inaccessible (until you reinstall Linux).
First you have to identify the disk. In the Terminal:
to list the partitions. The disk will probably be either

@IceFyr: Yes, but we need you to go back and fix the post with the huge continuity error in it. That is to say, that truck needs to have never existed. I mean honestly. Your character is very likely capable of running far faster than some vehicle trying to carefully navigate the rural routes of Sinnoh without getting completely wrecked in the process to begin with.
The world of fallout needs to make sense for people to enjoy it, and right now trucks just don't make sense by any stretch of imagination. In order to make sure that the RP remains enjoyable, I need to ask you to go back, edit the post, and replace the truck with something that fits in the setting. Honestly, pokespirit wielders using any sort of vehicle doesn't make a lot of sense to begin with even if the vehicle itself could plausibly still be around, but something without any sort of engine and not requiring any sort of power such as perhaps a bicycle could be used in place of a truck.
...Presuming your character can ride a bicycle. :U But seriously. In order to move on, this needs to happen. For everyone's sake, let's not drag this out any longer. Get the edit done and let's move on. Hmm?

Please enter a valid city, state or zip code
10 reviews | 2.3 out of 5
Unwrapped everything. Connected all cables and wires (Ethernet, HDMI, USB) Tried to access YouTube, nothing but a logo. Tried to access VUDU, no internet detected. Tried to play mp3 through the USB, "not support". (grammatical error is what was shown on screen) Searched for website support and discovered that RCA was sold off to many different companies that make many different models. This model is not built by or supported by RCA or Audiovox, but instead, a totally different company altogether. The website for that company is not active, nor is the toll free number.
Even the audio in jack on the front failed to work.
The only thing that functioned was the disc player and the speakers. All other features failed at the most basic level.
I'll be returning this defective product tomorrow and will not be making a replacement purchase of the RCA brand ever.
Thank you for your comments and concerns about the Home theater system, as we appreciate your suggestions, on how we could improve on the next generation of Home theater system.
The overall unit was very enticing being a home theater and Blu-ray combo. The Blu-ray works fine and the sound is ok...for a cheaper system. However the Blu-ray wont play recorded DVD's and the sound system lags terrible when using the home theater and TV combo. I bought the unit mainly to use as a home theater for football games but I couldn't stand how bad the sound was delayed behind the T.V. (usually sound is ahead if there's a delay issue). There was no way to change this setting, only to make it more delayed, so I returned it. If you only want to use it as a Blu-ray player then it's fine.
CONFIGURATION FOR MY SETUP: T.V. was connected to Directv receiver via HDMI and this surround system was connected directly to the Directv receiver via optical cable. A delay shouldn't have been an issue as this is the best possible connection configuration.
For $148 I wasn't expecting it to be a great system. I just needed a cheap system and was sold by the blu ray additon. Well, after a month I took it back. The blu ray player takes forever to open, when it does, lots of powering off and back on just to get the disc tray to open. Overall sound was ok for the price. I switched to a vizio soundbar and am just blown away for $50 more dollars at what you get.
It did not work the day a bought it. I waited too long to return it to the store. The service center needs four to six weeks to fix it.
This system looks great, but the lag on YouTube and Vudu is crazy slow. You will need to download the latest software update, burn it to disc and then play to apply. Can be a daunting task if you are not savvy in burning to disc procedures. For the money, I was very disappointed. The device is easy to connect to the internet / network , however, not Wifi so you will need to have it hardwired with an Ethernet cable to your router / modem. There is no option to surf the web, you only search through the YouTube option, which I might add, is very limited as to what you can search for and the results that are found. Stick to your computer for information you're looking for on the net, less hassle. Does not play well with CD's / DVD's that are burned from computer-Some work, some will not. Store bought DVD movies play fine, and the quality of the payback is nice. For those of you not familiar with Vudu, you will need to enter your email address to create an acct and then you get the pleasure of searching through a maze of TV series, shows and the occasional odd cast. Once you make your selection, you have to pay to view each selection that you would like to watch. Netflix is a much better option-one low monthly price and you can view whatever you want till the cows come home. There is also a Vudu App, which is a cluster of shorts you can view for free, such as movie reviews by a unknown critic, cooking short cuts, and a wealth of other useless information you may never have a need to know. Overall, I would just pass on this one. Do your homework by checking out reviews, Cnet.com would be a good place to start for online product reviews. If this is a first time purchase, I would make a list of features you find attractive in a Blu Ray Home Theater System. Be picky! They aren't cheap! Get the best quality for your dollar, and this would not be the one for you. Sorry RCA, for this family, you failed this test.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and it will be our pleasure to assist you. Please reach out to our support team at firstname.lastname@example.com
Needs an AM-FM and it would be 5 stars........
The sound In the RCA Theater system Is the best in Sound and Has guts Plus Power All the way every body needs one of the Best System that Rocks the Whole Room!!! It's easy to put together and it does not need any cable only HDMI Cord For the best sound!!!!!
Thought this was a great value because I didn't want to pay for the Gold plan on xbox to get netflix. Have not used the blu ray player yet (might not I have premium cable and netflix). When searching for things on youtube and netflix I almost get exhausted and give up because the typing takes forever!! Do yourself a favor and just pay $50 more and get the real deal or go to Samsclub! I have not decided to return it yet tho...
This is a great blu-ray player & surround system. I love mine. It was easy to hook up. Sound quality is excellent! Apps are fun to use. The only thing is that the player is not wireless so you have to hook up a network cable from your modem to the player. (You have to buy the cable separately). I'm loving the apps on it now. Would highly recommend this product.
Thank you for being an RCA customer. Glad to hear you are enjoying your RCA Product.
pro: Excellent sound. Cons: Not wifi compatible

It had only been a few days since Heather Locklear got the shocking news that her not-quite-ex husband was now dating her friend and neighbor Denise Richards, but she wasn't about to let her emotions get in the way of her 8-year-old daughter Ava's fun.
On April 28, pulling up outside Richie Sambora's house to drop Ava off for a prearranged snowboarding trip with Dad, Locklear handed Ava the bag she'd packed for her, gave her a hug and told her to call her if she needed anything. "She made it very comfortable for her," says a friend. "Is Heather bummed? Yes. But for her well-being and Ava's, she's got to move beyond this."
She's working on it. Between meeting pals for brunch, hitting the driving range with her father and catching the movie RV with Ava, Locklear, 44, isn't exactly moping at home with a tub of Ben & Jerry's. Still, after a meal at an L.A. Korean restaurant the other day, where she dined with David Spade, she made her feelings very clear to a group of photographers outside. When asked if she was still friends with Richards, Locklear, in pigtails and sporting a girlish grin to match, responded with a sarcastic reply: "Yes – my best friend." As one pal puts it, "She is not happy with what went down."
Not surprisingly, spinmeisters in both camps are coming out of the Hollywoodwork in support of their friends. The saga is turning into a real-life Betty-versus-Veronica comic strip (who plays the nefarious Veronica depends on whom you ask), with confidants on opposing sides spewing accusations, making it almost impossible to decipher fact from scandalous fiction.
As recently as last December, the actresses couldn't have appeared closer. On New Year's Eve, they were photographed arm-in-arm on the way to a party together. Richards, who was in the middle of another rough patch with husband Charlie Sheen, 40, with whom she was attempting a reconciliation after filing for divorce nine months before, was even wearing an outfit she'd borrowed from Locklear. "Heather had helped her get dressed to perk up her spirits," says a friend of Locklear's. "They were really good friends."
Something changed around the time Locklear filed for divorce from Sambora, 46, in February. While Locklear's pals rallied around her in support, she and Richards – mom to Sam, 2, and Lola, 11 months – had been growing apart since mid-January, friends of Richards estimate. But Locklear was taken aback when she found out, after many of her friends agreed in an act of solidarity not to attend Sambora's Bon Jovi show in L.A., that Richards was there.
Knowing each other for four years and living just a few minutes apart in the exclusive Westlake Village area, about 40 miles outside L.A., it's not surprising that Richards and Sambora were drawn to each other. When they were still together, Richards and Sheen and Locklear and Sambora occasionally hung out, even taking their kids out trick-or-treating together last October. And during Richards' trouble spots with Sheen, Sambora was right beside Locklear consoling her. "He's a genuinely nice guy," says one source.
After a tumultuous marriage, a little hand-holding under the California sun has been a bright development in an otherwise gloomy period for Richards. "Richie's been very supportive through one of the most difficult times in her life," says a friend.
While Richards has found solace in the arms of Sambora, who just moved the last of his belongings from Locklear's garage, Locklear is getting some support from a snarkier source. Although the two insist that they're just friends, she and David Spade, 41, have been spotted together a number of times since she filed for divorce. In fact, insist friends of Richards', the two had been seeing each other before Locklear's split from Sambora (a charge both Locklear's and Spade's camps vehemently deny). These same friends claim Locklear was also having secret rendezvous with ex-husband Tommy Lee while she was married to Sambora (again, Locklear's side refutes the allegation).
In any case, Locklear wants to put the whole messy saga behind her. During a recent pedicure, "a woman came up to her and said 'I just think you're great. My girlfriends and I want to make Team Heather T-shirts,' " says a source close to Locklear. "But she doesn't want Team Heather T-shirts. She just wants to move on."
Working out almost every day and lining up new work projects after taping the TV pilot Women of a Certain Age, "she's been staying busy," says a friend. And she has not, says a source, tried to contact Sheen, her former Spin City costar, to kvetch about their exes hooking up. Even Spade seems to be keeping his distance from Sheen. Out at the L.A. restaurant Bridge on April 27, the same night that Sheen and pal Matthew Perry were there, Spade didn't pop by to say hello to Perry until Sheen was in the restroom. As for Sheen, he appears to be every bit as anxious as Locklear is to move on. At Bridge, "he was in good spirits," says an observer. "He was out with his friends, enjoying a nice night out. Chin up, ya know?"
He definitely had a smile on his face that weekend, when he got to see Sam and Lola in a supervised visit. "He's doing pretty good – he spent the day with the kids," says dad Martin Sheen, who was also happy to get in a visit with the grandkids. "I miss Denise, too. This is a very painful, sad time."
If there's one thing that all parties can agree on, it's that this shouldn't be a sad time for any of the children involved. "This is all hard – it's very painful," says Richards. "The thing that's getting me through all of this is my daughters, just staying focused on them."
The same goes for Locklear and Sambora. "They continue to have their daughter's best interest at heart," says a friend of Sambora's. "Ava's doing well. She's been staying at Richie's house and has friends over." In fact, it's because of Ava that both her parents are looking to leave any anger behind them. "That's the saving grace of being a parent," says a Locklear friend. "You have to just keep moving forward."

Northfield man pleads guilty to aggravated assault
BARRE The Northfield man who stabbed another man after following him home in 2011 pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for the incident, while still facing charges of repeatedly raping an 11-year-old girl in Bellows Falls in 2009.
David Leo Edson, 29, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Washington County criminal court in Barre to the assault charge, which was amended from an original charge of second-degree attempted murder. A charge of felony burglary was dropped as a result of the plea deal.
He now faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Judge Thomas Zonay ordered that a pre-sentencing investigation be completed before he hands down a sentence.
Edson stabbed then-32-year-old Joseph Marx in March 2011 after Edson made a comment to Marxs girlfriend about penis size at an apartment in Northfield. Marx and his girlfriend left the apartment, and Edson later followed after overhearing Marx say in a phone conversation he wanted nothing to do with Edson.
Edson forced his way into Marxs residence and attacked him with a knife. Marx put Edson into a headlock and kept Edson from stabbing him, but Edson did slash Marxs left hand. Marx pushed Edson out of the residence and locked the door. While Marx was holding the door shut, Edson smashed the glass window in the door and stabbed Marx in the abdomen.
Marx was hospitalized, and a doctor said the knife missed his heart and liver by centimeters.
Edson ran from the residence, changed his clothes and hid the knife. A witness told police where the knife could be found and was told by Edson that he had done something he shouldnt have done.
In a separate incident, Edson is also facing two charges of aggravated sexual assault and a charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, all felonies, in Windham County criminal court.
According to the police affidavit, Edson repeatedly raped an 11-year-old girl in the summer of 2009.
Edson has previous convictions for burglary, domestic assault and disorderly conduct.

For President Barack Obama, good governance is also good politics.
Four days before Election Day, Obama showed solid leadership during a national crisis. While Hurricane Sandy's deadly storm devastated coastal towns and left much of New York City and Long Island, New York waterlogged and without power, Obama was the nation's anchor in the storm.
Hurricane Sandy, the most powerful weather system to hit the East Coast, presented an unexpected yet defining moment for Obama.
The president was able to navigate a thicket where politics and governing collide. In the midst of an extremely close presidential race, Obama stayed off the campaign trail for two days speaking to the governors of the storm's impacted states and making sure the government's relief efforts were swift and seamless.
By Thursday, the U.S. death toll from Sandy had climbed to 88. Obama wasn't campaigning earlier this week, but he was earning valuable praise for his unflappable response to a natural catastrophe.
The president was cool under pressure – and the nation knew it.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, seems to be Obama's newest best friend. Christie couldn't say enough great things about Obama's handling of Sandy, particularly for the state of New Jersey.
"I'm pleased to report that he has sprung into action to help get us those things immediately," Christie said during a press conference this week. "It's been a great working relationship to make sure that were doing the job people elected us to do. I cannot thank the president enough.
In a strange turn of events, with the election only days away, Christie's remarks were almost tantamount to an endorsement.
It's rare for a high-profile Republican governor to compliment Obama and it's even more unusual for Christie to heap praise on Obama a week before the presidential election. Christie has probably spent more time thanking Obama and less time talking about Mitt Romney, his GOP comrade, which has some Republicans grumbling that Christie isn't a team player.
What Christie knows well is this old adage: All politics is local. For Christie, who had hundreds of thousands of citizens in crisis, he needed immediate help from the federal government and Obama was there to deliver. The residents of New Jersey, some who had homes destroyed and many who are still in shelters, are also voters and Christie wants to stay on their good side.
And the compliments flowed both ways.
"At the top of my list, I have to say that Gov. Christie throughout this process has been responsive," Obama said at a press conference. "He's been aggressive in making sure that the state got out in front of this incredible storm and I think the people of New Jersey recognize that he has put his heart and soul into making sure the people of New Jersey bounce back even stronger than before."
"So," Obama added, "I just want to thank him for his extraordinary leadership and partnership."
Will Obama's shining example of leadership help him close the deal with undecided voters? And will Christie's new friendship with Obama sway independents that are still on the fence?
Perhaps. In a razor-thin close election, where perception is everything, Obama's crisis leadership in the past few days could be a game changer.
The latest WSJ/NBC/Marist poll shows Obama holds the lead in three swing states — Iowa, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. And polls including Quinnipiac University, the New York Times and CBS News, show Obama up by five points in Ohio and list Florida as a toss-up state.
Brandon Davis, the National Political Director for the Service Employees International Union, (SEIU) is encouraging black Americans to vote with a sense of urgency.
"When the African American community votes, it has the power to determine not just who is in office but also the direction of our nation's policy priorities," Davis said. "That's why we have to show up at the polls on Nov. 6."
Davis works directly with SEIU leadership, staff and the organization's 2.1 million members who work as janitors, nurses, security officers, and many more, to expand the organization's political grassroots engagement in legislative and electoral campaigns.
Most recently, Davis joined canvassing efforts in Pennsylvania, Florida and Virginia to talk to voters about the issues that matter most in their communities and how they can make a difference now and through Nov. 6.
"Four more years for President Obama will look vastly different than a Mitt Romney presidency," Davis said. "The choice African Americans and all working people face is between a president who will continue to back policies that build the middle class by broadening access to health care, education, good jobs and widespread opportunity, or a candidate who has said he's not concerned about the poor or 47 percent."
Meanwhile, early voting in Florida appears to be going well. Thousands of African Americans are standing in long lines to vote.
Bishop Victor Curry, pastor of New Birth Cathedral of Faith International in Opa-locka, Florida, told the South Florida Times that Obama will protect the rights of people of color.
"Last time it was about making history," Curry said when blacks turned out in record numbers in the 2008 election. "This time it's personal."
Curry is not alone.
I believe this election is personal for many African Americans who are hoping – and praying – for a better quality of life if Obama returns to the White House for another four years.
While Romney looked stiff and insincere as he passed out supplies to survivors of Hurricane Sandy inside a crowded warehouse, he was still shamelessly stumping for votes.
And with Romney playing politics, Obama worked the phones from the Oval Office instructing his administrators to release millions of dollars in federal aid that will bring quick relief to countless Americans in need.
It's sound leadership by the president, which also happens to be good politics.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Savannah police say a missing Fort Stewart soldier has been found in Florida, where she traveled without telling her family or the Army.
Savannah-Chatham County police spokesman Gene Harley said Friday that Army Sgt. Charlana McKenzie appeared to be unharmed and traveled to West Palm Beach, Fla., of her own free will.
Harley could not say why McKenzie left her home - and her 14-year-old daughter - in Savannah.
The 32-year-old McKenzie was reported missing after she failed to pick up her daughter from school Monday. She is a medic with the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart.
Harley said police didn't detain McKenzie because she hadn't committed any crimes. He said police have notified the Army and the state Division of Family and Children Services.

Montgomery Hare (1911-1998) was a playwright, theater producer, and poet. Born in New York City, Hare graduated from the Groton School in 1929 and from Yale University in 1933 with honors in literature.
Hare wrote and directed plays for the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia in the late 1940s and was also active with the Parsons Theatre and the Penobscot Charitable Trust. His published books of poetry include Three Eagles (1954), To Beat the Air: Poems and Drawings (1964), and Say This of Me (1981). He also wrote novels and memoirs.
From 1940 on, Hare lived in Cornwall, Connecticut. He was a founder and president of the Housatonic Valley Association, which worked to protect the lands and waters of the Housatonic Watershed.
The Montgomery Hare Papers consist of writings, notebooks and sketchbooks, correspondence, personal files, theater files, and audio material. The collection documents Hare's work as a playwright, producer, and director, as well as his work in other literary genres. Writings include typescripts and manuscripts of Hare's plays, poems, novels, memoirs, and other writings. Notebooks also contain manuscripts of poems, along with notes, sketches, and drawings. General correspondence includes letters to Hare from writers, friends, and acquaintances, among others, as well as some outgoing correspondence.

By Capt. Jeremy Tennent, 6-52nd Air Defense Artillery Battalion, 35th ADA Public AffairsAugust 30, 2011
SUWON AIR BASE, South Korea - Brig. Gen. James Dickinson arrived in Suwon Aug. 23 to visit the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery.
The forward deployed Patriot unit welcomed Dickinson, who ia the 94th Army Air and Missile Defense commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Tedd J. Pritchard.
During his tour of the "Iron Horse" footprint at Suwon Air Base, Dickinson made it a point to discuss both the challenges facing the battalion and the future plans for the force.
"You have a great job," said Dickinson. "Your training is real and in support of 'fight tonight.'"
The command team, based in Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, praised the battalion for going 24 months without a sexual assault.
"That is a positive reflection on the unit and on its leadership," said Dickinson.
Pritchard added his support by saying, "It takes creative, dynamic leaders to succeed. The risk is real and your readiness is taken seriously on this peninsula."
The command sergeant major had doubled down his emphasis on dynamic leadership by hosting a NCO development program the day prior to the official visit.
After a mission brief, Dickinson and Pritchard moved to a training area to observe Alpha Battery conducting certification training.
Following the training visit, the battalion hosted a lunch at the dining facility, where the commanders and first sergeants had the opportunity to voice concerns.
During the discussion, Dickinson spoke at length about the future of air and missile defense on the Korean Peninsula.
"For the first time, during this past Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise, we were able to simulate a THAAD battery," said Dickinson.
THAAD is the acronym for Terminal High Altitude Air Defense, a new system designed to expand the ground based ballistic missile shield over a larger area while working in tandem with existing Patriot batteries.
In the future on the Korean Peninsula, Dickinson forsees greater coordination between the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade and its sister battalion on Okinawa. "It's all one defensive chain, from north to south," Dickinson said.
The visit concluded with a gift from the battalion to the commander and to the command sergeant major, welcoming them into command.

I figured that'd be the response I get -__-
even if it's in ISO it'll still split it?
nvrm it does
problem, using the FAT32 partitioning Configurable USB Loader won't even boot because it wants a WBFS partitioned device....
Alright (: hmm when I try to throw the ISO on my FAT32 HDD it says the file is too big to move ._.
Okay I installed the wad, now try booting with config usb using 223-mload?
wait does it matter whether or not i'm using a FAT32 or a WBFS partition? Because I am currently using a WBFS partition
when WadManager asks for which IOS version to install the WAD to which one do I pick? 249, 222, or 223? (I have 236 installed if that means anything)
I have recently installed hermes v4 to IOS 236. I tried running brawl in configurable USB Loader using 222-mloader/223-mloader but it freezes saying this
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Well that's my problem, my usb is a 4gb /: I've been looking for my 250gb portable HDD but no luck.
thank you, i'll try it out. Btw is it possible to load iso's from my sd card?
I know it has to be FAT32 formatted so how do i get a 4+gb game on their when FAT32 doesn't allow that?
Ok so recently I hacked my wii. I installed cIOS58 (I think) using IOS38-64-v3610.wad. I formatted my USB with WBFS 3.0. But When I load up NeoGamma and select USB it tries to load it the whole 20...

This is one of the most beautiful church's, that i've ever been in. It took seven years to build. It was built in the eary 1900's. The art work inside is absolutely beautiful. The church is located @ 4431 Lindell Boulevard, about three blocks from St. Louis University.
Bennett Spring is located in Lebanon Mo. It's about 180 miles from St. Louis. If you like to trout fish, this is a pretty good place to go. They have cabins & rooms you can rent, and also have a very nice campground.
Lambert's Cafe is located in Sikeston, Mo. about a half mile off of interstate 55. It's the home of the Throwed Roll. They are always throwing rolls while you are eating. If you miss catching one, and it falls on the floor (oh well) they just keep throwing more.
- Pros:I visit frequently !!!
- Cons:Not to many !!!

As I'm writing this, I'm actually sitting on a sandy beach during a much needed vacation. Vacations, big or small, are essential to mental health and can help keep you motivated and going strong. But how in the world can anyone afford to travel now with gas prices rising, airlines milking us for every penny they can, and the price of everything else getting just ridiculous?
My family and I plan and budget for our annual vacation each year. It is costly but we make it work by sacrificing in other areas. There's only so much money and if we don't balance things out we'll come up short. That plan doesn't leave much for the rest of the year though and that can get difficult when stress starts to build up.
