Brandy had no idea that her fiancé Ryan Press had plans to ask for her hand in marriage last week.
Then again, she doesn't think her beau knew he was going to, either.
"It was a spontaneous thing for my fiancé," she said before ringing in the New Year at LAVO Las Vegas "He just felt it."
The R&B singer and former Dancing with the Stars contestant first went public with her romance with music executive Ryan Press on New Year's Eve 2011, cuddling at a Las Vegas party. On Monday, they were back in Vegas, but this time she was sporting a glimmering ring.
Although Brandy, 33, told PEOPLE in March that she let Press know she'd "marry him with a bubble gum ring," the sparkler she did receive has impressed her.
"He worked really hard on the ring. I'm not a big diamond girl, but I really love this diamond he did," she said. "It just represents how he feels about me, and I'm really blessed to have someone like him in my life. He's truly a gift."

While we were discussing one of the problems we at the newspaper sometimes have in obtaining public records, another journalist advised me, "Don't take it personally."
Well, sorry, but I do take it personally. I can't for the life of me understand why you don't, dear reader.
Think of information flow as an interstate highway. On one side of it is information flowing from you to the government. On the other side, government should be reciprocating.
But it's as if I-70 westbound suddenly had a 150 mph speed limit, while a convoy of trucks moving at 15 mph - and sometimes stopping altogether - was on I-70 eastbound.
At an unprecedented pace, the government is picking up information about us. It's not just the National Security Agency. The IRS and a host of other bureaucracies at all levels are involved, too.
In some ways, they really may know more about you than you do about yourself. Some government agencies with websites partially open to the public use an interesting security system to check the identity of those trying to connect. You tell them who you say you are, then they ask you a variety of questions to which only you would know the answers. Some involve street addresses at which you haven't lived for decades.
I couldn't answer one of Big Brother's questions. I didn't remember. Big Brother did.
Meanwhile, exemptions to government freedom of information laws are put into place by the thousands each year. Among those discussed by West Virginia legislators this month were some regarding public access to information on chemical storage tanks.
Government at all levels - local, state and federal - is digging up more information about us at the same time it is putting new limits on what we can learn about it.
Yes, I take that personally. So do many of the rest of us in the press, because we're on the front lines. Every time a government official refuses to provide us with information, he or she is telling you to take a long walk off a short pier.
Ask yourself this: How much privacy do I have?
Now ask yourself how much privacy your government has.
This is very personal.

LISBON - Anthony Mehno, the Salem man convicted by a jury last month of raping a 15-year-old babysitter, was sentenced to seven years in prison Monday by Columbiana County Common Pleas Court Judge C. Ashley Pike.
Mehno, 27, East Fourth Street, Salem, had reportedly climbed into bed with the sleeping girl, who awoke to find him in the process of having sex with her.
"You have changed my life forever," read a court victim's advocate from a written statement prepared by the girl. "I can't do anything other people my age are doing. I can't do anything without thinking about what you did to me."
She continued that Mehno had broken one of the 10 commandments, "Thou shalt not lie," adding she did not understand why he could not just tell the truth about what happened. She asked Mehno to consider how he would feel if something like this had happened to his stepdaughter.
The girl asked for the maximum sentence. Mehno had faced up to 10 years in prison and Assistant County Prosecutor Timothy McNicol had asked for nine years.
In addition to the seven-year sentence, Mehno will be expected to register his address every 90 days for the remainder of his life as a Tier III sexual offender. He will be on probation an additional five years.
Mehno continues to contend his innocence. He made no statement of apology before sentencing, instead pleading with Pike to consider his wife Ashley, 2-year-old son and 5-year-old stepdaughter.
"My family needs me," Mehno said. "I have faith in the system, but it was not what I would perceive as a fair jury trial."
When asked by Pike to explain his statement about the trial, Mehno said he believed an affidavit, which was disallowed by Pike, should have been made known to the jury. In the affidavit, which was attached to the pre-sentencing documents submitted to the court by his attorney Kenneth Lewis, the girl allegedly recanted her story.
According to the affidavit, the girl claimed she was not certain it was Mehno, both because she could not see his face and he appeared stronger and with more hair than Mehno. Additionally, she reportedly admitted to giving Ashley Mehno's underwear to the police, claiming it was her own. The affidavit was reportedly taken in July 2012 by Youngstown attorney Rhys Cartwright Jones, who was no longer handling the case prior to the jury trial.
Pike had disallowed the affidavit when no original notarized copy was available and after hearing conflicting testimony from several witnesses about how the affidavit was obtained.
Following sentencing, Mehno was denied a request to be allowed 72 hours in order to get his financial affairs in order for his wife. He was not in custody prior to the sentencing hearing, even after a jury found him guilty of rape, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and sexual battery.
Pike noted he sees a person sentenced to a felony as having a greater chance of running and was not ready to take the chance Mehno would fail to report.
Pike additionally denied a motion to place the sentence on hold pending an appeal Mehno is already in the process of filing through Lewis.
Despite Mehno paying for Lewis' services, Lewis filed a motion to have the transcripts from the trial prepared at the court's expense. Lewis said he had agreed to continue representing Mehno in the appeal process. Pike required Mehno to fill out a financial affidavit to see whether or not he would qualify.

MARTINSBURG - 2012 was a successful year for Martinsburg, according to City Manager Mark Baldwin, and the city has a lot to look forward to in 2013.
"It's a successful year anytime you can see progress, you can move the community forward with public projects and services without significant tax and fee increases," Baldwin said in a telephone interview Friday.
Foremost in his mind was that the city's budget stabilized during the past year.
"For the past two to three years, because of the economy, we lost revenues," Baldwin said. "We saw a small increase in our revenue stream this year. We're financially sound."
During the recession, the city lost more than $1 million in business and occupation, or B&O, tax revenues, its main source of revenue. Property taxes also decreased with the reduction in property values during the recession.
With the economy picking up, the city has seen increases in its B&O tax revenues and property tax revenues.
Throughout most of the recession, City Council members kept property tax increases at the 3 percent minimum, raising the tax rate by its maximum 12 percent only one year.
The city's finances have not returned to pre-recession levels, but Baldwin sees things getting better.
Baldwin cited several large projects that are either ongoing or completed as highlights of the past year, such as the substantial completion of the north and south sections of the Raleigh Street Extension project, leaving only the middle section to be completed in 2013.
He also pointed out the completion of the remodeling of the town square, its dedication during Martinsburg Heritage Day and its great success as a site for activities and events in downtown as one of the city's accomplishments in 2012.
The city completed the first phase of its Tax Increment Financing, or TIF, district, with a ribbon cutting ceremony June 8, which Baldwin mentioned as a highlight of the past year.
The TIF district encompasses the Meridian Pointe mixed-use subdivision along Forbes Drive and Meridian Parkway off Edwin Miller Boulevard as well as the Raleigh Street Extension corridor.
In a TIF district, the city can use the additional property tax revenues generated by the land's development to pay for infrastructure improvements.
The first phase of the TIF district included a traffic circle at the intersection of Forbes Drive and Meridian Parkway, paved streets, sidewalks, bike paths, a decorative streetscape, underground utilities and stormwater management.
Also in 2012, Baldwin said the city committed to a new wastewater treatment plant to comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandates to reduce amounts of nutrients - nitrogen and phosphorus - getting into the Chesapeake Bay via its tributaries.
Martinsburg is in the Potomac River watershed and the Potomac is one of the bay's major tributaries.
The total estimated cost of the new sewer treatment plant is about $47 million.
It is probably the biggest public works project ever undertaken by the city. The design phase of the project began earlier this year.
Baldwin said the city is doing everything it can to get as much funding for the project through a grant that will be financed with excess lottery funds that were set aside by Senate Bill 245 to float bonds to help pay for upgrades to sewer plants throughout the greater, eight-county Eastern Panhandle.
The more money the city can get in SB245 grant funds, the less sewer bills will have to be raised to pay for the sewer plant improvements.
"The wastewater treatment plant is our biggest challenge," Baldwin said. "With more SB245 money, the lower the rate increase, but we will have to raise rates. We'll apply to the Public Service Commission for new rates in 2013. We have to have the rates in place before construction can begin."
The city had to deal with two major weather events this year, Baldwin said: the June 29 derecho and Hurricane Sandy on Oct. 29-30.
The extremely strong windstorm at the end of June did extensive damage throughout the city.
Downed trees blocked streets, taking city crews about a month to completely clear.
It cost the city an additional $144,000 to respond to the derecho. The city has applied for reimbursement from FEMA for the extra expenses. FEMA will pay 75 percent of the costs.
The effects from Hurricane Sandy were much less severe, but crews still had to clear streets of downed trees and limbs.
Baldwin listed several projects Martinsburg residents can look forward to in 2013, including gateway wayfaring signs that will welcome visitors to the city and direct them to business and historic districts; repairs to East Burke Street and Tennessee Avenue bridges; engineering studies to make improvements to the North Queen Street underpass and municipal parking lots; a consultant's review of the city's stormwater management ordinances; and an economic development program study that could determine if the city should establish its own development authority.
Martinsburg and area residents also can look forward to the opening of the "for the kids, by George" children's museum at the Caperton Train Station in 2013, Baldwin added.
A project of the Washington Heritage Trail, the children's museum will feature the history of Martinsburg, Berkeley County and the region by focusing on the time George Washington spent here as a young surveyor.
The museum's dedication is scheduled for Martinsburg Heritage Day on May 11.

Gymnast Jordyn Wieber Is Prepping for Olympic Gold
Now that I'm finally in London and using these final days before the Olympics to rest, I think it's important to take the time to reflect on the past year leading up to the Games.
Most recently, I competed in the Olympic Trials in the end of June – I've never been so nervous in my life! All of my training came down to those three days, which could make or break my Olympic dream.
Luckily, I was able to keep my focus and channel my nerves into adrenaline, something that with years of practice and determination has helped me achieve my goals. I'm also fortunate enough to be close friends with the other girls on the team, and their support and confidence in me also helped me stay calm throughout. To qualify for the Olympics really was a dream come true.
Prepping for Competition
Courtesy of Jordyn Wieber
In the weeks leading up to the Games, I've been reducing the intensity of training and resting my muscles. Before Trials, I was practicing for several hours a day, but now the most important thing is to let my body recover before competition starts. I've been making sure to get plenty of sleep and eat as healthy as possible.
Part of this is eating a great breakfast every morning to fuel me for the rest of the day – that includes a mix of carbs, protein, fruit, and veggies. I do get nervous just like everyone else, so to help me prepare mentally I spend time visualizing my routines; it motivates me to push myself and it also helps me to not get too worried about negative outcomes of the competition and focus on the positives.
When I think back to all of the experiences I've had throughout my Olympic journey, one experience that has really stuck out in my mind has been my partnership with Team Kellogg's for their Olympic program, "From Great Starts Come Great Things."
The Kellogg's Olympic program is all about celebrating the start – the potential we all feel at the beginning of something, even the beginning of each day. I am very excited to be a part of this campaign, because it has given me the chance to reflect on the moment I realized that being a member of Team USA Gymnastics was my ultimate dream. Great starts can be big or small and they create the potential for great days, every day. Without a great start, I wouldn't be where I am today.
An Early IntroductionMy start in gymnastics happened so fast. I began competing when I was 4 years old. I always had a ton of energy when I was younger, and my parents put me in gymnastics as a good way to release my energy. I immediately fell in love with it and have been training towards my Olympic dream ever since.
Now, I am so excited to be at my first Olympic Games! My biggest goal has always been to make the 2012 Olympic Team, and my dream has finally come true. My journey to the Olympics has been filled with ups and downs, but it was all worth it the moment I stepped out of the plane and set foot in London.
The atmosphere here is amazing; it's unlike any competition I've ever experienced. The energy in the Olympic Village is so high, and it's incredible to be around a mix of camaraderie, competitiveness, and adrenaline. It's so exciting to be in such a great city, my teammates and I have had such a great time London together before we have to get serious for competition.
The Olympics are the ultimate world stage, so one of my goals during the Games is to inspire people everywhere to unlock their own potential as they are starting off on their own path towards something great. My other goal of course is to bring home a gold medal! I can't wait for competition to start and to represent Team USA while on the road to victory.

Virginia's Main Street Communities are recognized for their down home hospitality, locally-owned businesses, family-style eateries, small town heritage events and unique outdoor attractions.
Their citizens invite you to spend an afternoon, a weekend and/or an entire week getting to know them and their Main Street way of life. Add one of these destinations to your itinerary, and change what could be a simple road trip into the vacation of a lifetime.
Central Virginia | Southern Virginia | Northern VirginiaShenandoah Valley | Blue Ridge Highlands | Heart of Appalachia
Altavista - Billed as "A place to live, a way to live," the town was listed as a Main Street Community in 2007. Situated in Campbell County, south of Lynchburg, Altavista was incorporated in 1912, the same year as the Lane Co., a box manufacturer, was founded.
Ashland - Known for its rich rail heritage, Ashland is a true slice of Americana with quaint boutiques, live music, and art galleries. Amtrak stops right in the historic district, and the nation's two longest bike routes (1 and 76) intersect here, too.
Bedford - Surrounded by the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Bedford gained worldwide recognition as the city that lost more soldiers per capita on D-Day.
Congress later deemed the establishment of the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford. If you are traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway, Bedford is at Milepost 86 at the Peaks of Otter.
Blackstone - Located on Nottoway County, the town of Blackstone was founded as "the village of Blacks & Whites" and dates to the pre-Revolutionary War era. The village derived its name from two rival taverns - Schwartz Tavern (Schwartz is German for Blacks) and Whites Tavern at the intersection of three stagecoach roads.
The village carried the name until 1885, when its citizens renamed it after jurist William Blackstone. The town was incorporated in 1888, and in 1914, was the 13th town in the United States to adopt the Town Manager form of government.
Farmville - Centered in Virginia's Heartland, Farmville is the hub of economic activity in the region and boast a wealth of natural, historical, cultural, recreational and educational attractions.
Franklin - A fire in 1881 destroyed all the commercial buildings in Franklin. Then in 1999, Hurricane Floyd's flood waters submerged the Franklin Historic District. What a comeback story for this dynamic Main Street community!
Situated on the banks of the Blackwater River, it was once a major transportation center for trains and steamboats.
Hopewell - City Point, the oldest part of Hopewell, was founded in 1613 by Sir Thomas Dale. City Point's location on a bluff overlooking the James and Appomattox Rivers has been an important factor in Hopewell's history for almost four centuries.
Lynchburg -Lynchburg counts 500 significant buildings in its downtown, including The Academy of Music, where Sarah Bernhardt, Pavlova and Paderewski performed!
Four impressive residential districts also encompass the downtown area and include various architectural styles. Visit the Anne Spencer House, where the Harlem Renaissance poet lived.
Orange -Orange was named for Prince William of Orange in 1734 and served as a courthouse town and railroad-stop. The courthouse architecture depicts an acceptance of exotic tastes after the Civil War. In 1908, a fire destroyed the eastern half of the town. In the 1930s, Orange became a regional center for automobile sales and services as well as a diversified manufacturing center.
President James Madison's Museum is in Orange, too.
Martinsville -Martinsville Speedway boasts the shortest track on the NASCAR circuit, but Martinsville is also known for its furniture industry, resulting in the building campaign of the early 1900s.
After World War I, the textile industry caused another building boom. Today's historic district features unique shops, outdoor cafés and "The Big Chair."
South Boston -South Boston is located on the Dan River and became the second largest bright leaf tobacco market in the USA. Today, the historic district features many old tobacco-related buildings, making the community very unique.
During the Revolutionary War, the 1781 "Retreat of the Dan" is regarded as a turning point in the war.
Culpeper - The county seat town of Culpeper was founded in 1759 and grew rapidly in the mid-1900s at the crossroads of major highways. The downtown economy has evolved from five-and-dime stores and agricultural services to a vibrant mix of locally owned shops and restaurants.
Fredericksburg - Step into another time when you step onto the streets of Fredericksburg. Deep-rooted history that includes the likes of George Washington and epic Civil War battles overflows abundantly here. Restored 18th and 19th century buildings welcome you with cute shops, galleries, and restaurants, and the Potomac River has its own tales to tell. Historic moments are yours for the taking in Fredericksburg.
Manassas - One of five communities in the USA to win a Great American Main Street Award, Manassas was once totally destroyed during the Civil War.
In 1905, a fire destroyed much of the town's commercial area. Today, the 1914 train depot serves as a Visitors Center, the old candy factory is an arts center, and an old opera house is a gourmet food store.
Warrenton - This colonial village of Warrenton was home to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall. A number of buildings date from the Civil War, when it was occupied by both the North and South troops.
Today, the commercial district features more than 400 renovated buildings housing a great mixture of businesses.
Berryville - The colonial town of Berryville sits at the crossroads of two routes that linked the community's economy to trade between Winchester and Alexandria.
The railroad brought growth to this city "on the doorstep" of Washington, D.C. See about 200 buildings that have been rehabilitated as well as the Old Clarke County Courthouse and jail.
Harrisonburg -Harrisonburg's downtown historic district is centered around Court Square with streets that intersect or are tangential to the sides of the courthouse square. Harrisonburg is the earliest known occurrence of this plan.
The famous Virginia Quilt Museum is located in the historic Warren-Sipe House on Main Street.
Luray -Luray in Page County became prosperous after the construction of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad in 1881. Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive helped the town grow into the 20th century. Luray Caverns also brings many visitors.
Staunton - The railroad changed the economic structure of Staunton in 1852. The city's Beverley Historic District includes about 150 buildings within 11 blocks of downtown Staunton, with Beverley Street being a classic Victorian Main Street. Staunton received Virginia's first Great American Main Street Award.
See the Frontier Culture Museum and Woodrow Wilson's Birthplace in Staunton.
Waynesboro -Waynesboro can trace its roots beyond 1798, when a mill, an inn, maybe a church or two, and some other dwellings comprised the downtown area. The railroad brought more expansion to the city and set the stage for the real estate boom of the 1890s.
Today's Main Street has no overhead power lines and is the site for many community events, such as this Blue Ridge Valley Soap Box Derby!
Winchester -Winchester was always a main center for trade, even when the Shawnees lived here. Several battles from the French and Indian, Revolutionary and Civil Wars occured here, too.
During the early 1900s, the leading industry was glove making. Today, Winchester is one of Virginia's leading apple producers and is the site for the world-famous Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival.
Abingdon - "Arts of Historic Proportions," the artsy town of Abingdon is located in Washington County. It was named after the ancestral home of Martha Washington.
The town also holds the distinction as a Virginia Historic Landmark with 20-square block Historic District. It was founded in 1778 and first named "Wolf Hills" by Daniel Boone.
Bristol - Known as "The Birthplace of Country Music," Bristol was the location of the first country music recordings made for national distribution. And in 1998, Congress made it official! Today, country music murals and monuments line Bristol's State Street.
Marion -Marion boomed in the late 18th century when the Wilderness Road opened and the railroad and coal industry were established. In 1905, author Sherwood Anderson purchased the Marion Publishing Co. and edited two newspapers.
Renovations include the creation of a Mountain Dew Museum, where the popular soft drink calls home.
St. Paul - Chartered in 1911, St. Paul is nestled in one of the most beautiful, diverse areas of southwest Virginia. Located in the southeastern corner of Wise County and the western side of Russell County, the community enjoys a caring, small town atmosphere with deep-seated heritage.
This list reflects current and past "Designated Virginia Main Street Communities" per the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.

Winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award
One of the New York Times' Ten Best Books of the Year
Almost a decade in the making, this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world's most esteemed historians and intellectuals is a singular achievement. Postwar is the first modern history that covers all of Europe, both east and west, drawing on research in six languages to sweep readers through thirty-four nations and sixty years of political and cultural change-all in one integrated, enthralling narrative. Both intellectually ambitious and compelling to read, thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details, Postwar is a rare joy.
Remarkable… The writing is vivid; the coverage-of little countries as well as of great ones-is virtually superhuman. (Louis Menand, The New Yorker)

If you know someone who likes beef but doesn't like venison, here's the best way I've found to make a deer roast taste like beef:
Brown a boneless venison roast (or stew trimmings may be even better) in a pressure cooker. Chop up the biggest eye-watering onion you can find and throw it in. Add 2-3 cups of water and three or four beef bouillon cubes, seal it up and let it chug away for a good while.
You'll need to know how your pressure cooker performs so you don't vent out all the water and burn it, but if you add enough water to let it perk for 45 minutes or so without running dry the end result is as close to a good beef roast as venison gets IMO.

deer stake with mushrooms sauce
To prepare a deer stake in the oven you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 kg of deer thigh
- 1 mushroom can
- 4-5 garlic cloves
- 50 grams of smoked bacon
- 1 onion
- specific hunting condiments
- cooking oil
Preparing the meat
First of all you have to separate the meat from the bone. When you're done separating them, drop the bone into a pot with boiling water together with some pepper and salt. The water will foam a couple of times until it becomes clean. Meanwhile, you can prepare the meat. You can start by stuffing it with bacon and garlic. When you have finished doing this, you will have to spice it on both sides with specific hunting condiments. After you have managed to do this, pour some oil into a tray, put the deer meat there. When done, add some water, but be careful that it doesn't rise higher than half of the meat's height. While you prepare the deer meat you should heat the oven so that you have it ready for cooking. It should be of a temperature of around 300-320 degrees.
The deer stake doesn't cook very fast, so you shouldn't rush to take it out of the oven.
Preparing the sauce
Put some oil in a cooking pan and add the onion that you have already cut into small pieces. Let it fry until it becomes of a gold color. When it does, add some mushrooms and the soup that you have got from boiling the deer bone. If you want your sauce to be more exquisite you can add half a glass of white wine. Wine goes hand to hand with the deer stake. Let the sauce boil for a small amount of time, after which, you may remove it from the fire. When the deer stake is ready, just pour the sauce on the meat and return the deer stake back in the oven for another 4-5 minutes.
It may take some time to prepare a deer stake but the effort is properly rewarded. It's not like each day you have the privilege to enjoy such a feast. It is much healthier than cow or pork stake, so it may easily end up to be one of your families favorite foods.
Good appetite!

A good recipe for squirrel...
First soak your squirrel over night in extra virgin olive oil i find it tenderizes and removes some of the gamy taste of the Squirrel. Then in a pan on high heat put in some butter and minced garlic and throw in your cut up squirrel and cook until browned while moving it around. Now turn the heat to medium and put in 1 cup of broth/stock I use chicken but beef would work, also add any vegetables you would like i usually ad carrots and celery cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Then sever either over biscuits,potatoes, rice, or noodles and enjoy.

I cooked up half of a whole boar over the weekend.
I brined it for 24 hours:
1 gallon of water
1 cup of kosher salt
1 cup of sugar
(The size of the cooler and the size of the meat will dictate how much you need to make. I had to do 5 gallons of water)
Then after rinsing, I added my rub to it. It's just a simple recipe that I got out of the Barbecue Bible.
The results were delicious!

Suggestion for Taming deer flavor: Rosemary
So I long ago reconciled myself to the fact that deer will taste like deer. It's like salmon. Dress it up how you like, salmon has a unique flavor. For some people, the deer taste is a show stopper.
I was making tacos using deer meat the other day and I threw in some rosemary as a spur of the moment "what if" addition. I didn't put in too much b/c rosemary has a pretty strong flavor. Still it seemed to dampen the gamy deer flavor. My wife agreed and my kids, my hardest critics, didn't kabbitz about either the deer flavor (which they usually don't) nor the rosemary.
brown your ground deer meat in a pan,
add cumin, garlic salt, rosemary to taste and serve 'em up.
I'm right about the metric system 3/4 of the time.

Yummy Deer Heart
Yummy Deer Heart
Soak heart in water with a dash of sea salt over night in the fridge, rinse well before slicing making sure to get out all the blood. Slice heart in half, then remove all the tough stuff. Slice remaining meat in "bite sized" pieces, use your own discretion.
Slice a white onion however you like, I prefer about 4" strips.
Place skillet on medium heat, with just a touch of whatever cooking oil you prefer.
Start with the onions, don't let them cook fast, you want them to slowly brown and caramelize as the meat gets done. After onions have been in a few minutes, add heart pieces, and add some salt or pepper as you like. Once the onions have browned up nicely, add in some beer.
I always use a seasonal dark beer of one kind or another, with the best taste so far having come from St. George Brewery American Brown Ale (local brewery), but Blue Moon Winter Abbey Ale gives a very good taste as well that I'm quite fond of. I put in enough beer to just barely cover the meat, then turn the heat up a little to get the beer simmering nicely, but not boiling. Add in more beer if you feel like it, but you don't want to over cook the meat, it's really best at about medium-rare.
Serve with honey-mustard made up with some spicy brown mustard, or my personal favorite is our home made blackberry jam. Of course finish that beer off as well. Eat. Drink. Smile. Take a nap.

Venison Breakfast Sausage (Jimmy Dean Clone)
4 lbs Ground Venison
4 lbs Pork Butt (Make sure it's fatty)
8 tsp Salt
3 tsp Cayenne pepper
3 tsp sage
2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 tsp corriander
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp marjoram
2 tsp coarsely ground rosemary.
Run meat through a coarse grinding plate and set aside. Mix dry spices in separate bowl, stir to mix, and add gradually as you throughly knead ground meat. Let stand in refrigerator for 4 hours to marry flavors. The recipe makes 8 one pound loaves.
Do not overcook, this recipe is very lean.
Guns have only two enemies, rust and politicians!
Deer are amazing creatures....so please don't burn the sauteed onions and I'll pass on the steak sauce, thank you.

Squirrel Kebabs!
After you had a full day of hunting squirrels, you are probably very hungry. Here is a recipe you can use if you like to eat your game!
- Squirrel
- Butter
- Olive Oil
- Spices (Of Your Choosing)
- Kebab Stick (Or whatever you call it )
- Low Dish, Or Cake Dish
- Grill!!
- Cut your squirrel meat into small bite size chunks, as if they aren't already small enough!!
- Layer the bottom of your dish with an even amount of melted butter and olive oil
- Dip the stick, or whatever you use to make kebabs in the mixture of butter and oil, then slip the squirrel bits on each stick depending on how much meat you have
- Now dip the 'Squirrel Kebabs' in the butter and oil, then add the spices of your choice
- Preheat the grill for about 5 minutes, then put the kebabs on the top rack
- Cook until the squirrel looks finished, (depending on your heat of course) then take the kebabs off and slide the meat on to your serving dish
- Enjoy!
PM me if you decide to try it and let me know how you like it!

Drunk Orchard mop sauce.
Great for chicken and game birds (guess you could use it on pork, beef or Venison too)
1 can of Strongbow hard cider (or angry orchard, Crispin's works well also if you like a more beer/ale taste. use the same amount as the strongbow 16.9oz I believe. I like the Lansdowne for the Crispin's)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce (or franks red hot, buffalo is good too)
1/3 cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Easy Jerky Recipe
I'm digging this recipe a lot. Easy to make, no marinade, and doesn't overpower the flavor of the animal.
2-3 lbs meat
1/4 cup bourbon or Tennessee Whiskey
2-4 capfuls liquid smoke
~1 tsp course Kosher or sea salt
~1 tsp Fresh ground pepper
Cut meat into strips like you normally would. Add the whiskey, smoke, salt and pepper. I mix the salt and pepper in slowly, mixing the meat in between. Mix thoroughly and dehydrate. You can adjust salt and pepper to taste. I do this with the raw meat but if you don't want to do that, this ratio should be close.

That sheet of meat over the ribs
I confess I have not tried this.
But skinning,dressing,you know that easily separated sheet of meat over the ribs?
Or,maybe even if you had an elk or moose diaphragm,check this vid out.
Its about "braised lamb breast".These are rolled and tied,with interesting things in the roll,then braised in a dutch oven or casserole.
Regardless of what you think of Gordon Ramsay(and please,we really do not need opinions of Gordon Ramsay,I'd rather you did not share them.Yes,he can be ...a donkey.So what?Its a useful vid)

I feel a news article that appeared in the March 9 edition of the Tomahawk Leader stating an ATV club had asked for the Hiawatha Trail to be opened for ATVs, has been misinterpreted.
The point of discussion regarding the trail was, if the county allowed ATVs to come into the city via county highways and if the city allowed ATVs on the street and if, during construction of the new Fourth Street bridge, the bridge would be closed to ATV traffic, could it be possible, in the interest of rider safety, to use the Hiawatha bridge to cross the river and go a few blocks to County Highway CC. That was a question, not a request.
It was never the intention, or was there a request, to open the complete Hiawatha Trail to ATVs.

Excellence in Land Navigation: The "1st Lt. Keith Wells" Award
Keith Wells was raised in north Texas. He attended Texas A&M College from 1940 to
1942. Following the outbreak of World War II, he joined the Marine Corps in March 1942 and was selected for Officer Candidate School (OCS) shortly thereafter. Upon completion of OCS, Wells completed Marine Parachute Training School in August 1943. Lt. Wells was then deployed to Guadalcanal with the 1st Marine Regiment in December 1943. After his return from Guadalcanal, Wells was given command of 3rd Platoon, Easy Company, 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division.
Lt. Wells landed on the island of Iwo Jima and was quickly given the task of leading an assault at the base of Mt. Suribachi. It was during this attack that Wells was awarded the Navy Cross. Part of his citation reads: "
by his leadership and indomitable fighting spirit, 1st Lt Wells contributed materially to the destruction of at least twenty-five Japanese emplacements
." During this attack Lt. Wells was wounded and evacuated to a hospital ship. He escaped by convincing a corpsman to supply him with sulfa powder and morphine so he could re-join his platoon shortly after the first flag raising. Once Wells reached the base of Mt. Suribachi he was helped to the summit by one of the flag raisers, Charles Lindberg. When his CO, Lt. Col. Chandler Johnson learned of his returned, he ordered Wells to relinquish command of the platoon and return to the aid station. Command was then passed to Sgt. Ernest "Boots" Thomas (KIA several days later). Although unable to lead his troops, Wells remained on the island until it was declared secure. Lt. Wells is still celebrated in the Marine Corps as the leader of what is believed to be the "most decorated platoon to fight in a single engagement in the history of the Marine Corps." Of the original 45 members of 3rd Platoon that fought on Iwo Jima, all but four were killed or wounded in action.
He retired from the Marine Corps Reserves in 1959 with the rank of Major.
The Marine Corps Reserve Association has sponsored the Excellence in Land Navigation Award since 1994 named in his honor.

Five and eight may be small numbers, but Airbus is betting they'll represent a big difference for its new A350-900 XWB (extra wide body). The model is five inches wider and, claims the manufacturer, 8 percent more fuel-efficient than Boeing's 787, with which it will compete in the long-haul, twinjet market. In 2018, Airbus expects to introduce a stretched version of the aircraft, the A350-1000, to go head-to-head with Boeing's even larger 777 twinjet.

Former Buffalo Sabre Matthew Barnaby has settled his lawsuit against his ex-fiancee, reclaiming the $50,000 diamond engagement ring he had given her.
Attorneys in the case said that the out-of-court settlement, agreed to last week, also saw former Miss Buffalo Amber L. Lindke, who broke off her live-in relationship with Barnaby in September, surrendering the title to Barnaby's Cadillac Escalade.
In exchange, Barnaby paid Lindke $1,000, on top of a $5,000 payment he made to the 25-year-old Lockport woman when they broke up.
Lindke had said she was owed money for work she did on Barnaby's website, www.mattbarnabyhockey.com.
"My client is reasonably satisfied the matter was resolved and she can get on with her life," said George V.C. Muscato, her attorney.
"He wasn't thrilled about having to pay," said David H. Elibol, Barnaby's attorney. "It was the practicality of the thing."
Muscato said Barnaby paid his client $5,000 before the lawsuit was filed Jan. 28 in State Supreme Court in Niagara County. The suit demanded that Lindke return the ring and the vehicle title.
Elibol wouldn't say why Barnaby paid Lindke $5,000 when they broke up.
"The details of that are really between them," the lawyer said. "That payment occurred before George and I were even involved in the case."
He said Lindke never sought money for her work on Barnaby's website while the couple was together. "The only mention of payment came after the breakup of the relationship," Elibol said.
"He's got the ring back, and he got the title to the vehicle. That has value," Elibol said.
The lawsuit said Barnaby, 39, gave Lindke the title to the Escalade in January 2012, the same month Lindke, a Canisius College graduate now doing marketing in the medical field, moved into Barnaby's home.
That came in the wake of Barnaby's conviction for driving while intoxicated the previous month in Clarence Town Court.
The guilty plea was entered eight days after Barnaby's Dec. 5, 2011, arrest by an Erie County sheriff's deputy, who said Barnaby was driving a Porsche Cayenne with a missing tire down Main Street.
The arrest cost Barnaby his job as an ESPN hockey analyst; he now coaches local youth hockey.
After Lindke moved out of Barnaby's Clarence home, the Escalade stayed there, but Lindke held onto the title. The lawsuit said Barnaby had been paying for the insurance on the sport utility vehicle all along.
The case never went before a judge. Under New York law, the person who received an engagement ring is required to give it back if the relationship sours before marriage, regardless of whose actions might have caused the breakup.
The state's Civil Rights Law allows either party to seek the return of any property transferred in contemplation of marriage, Joanna L. Grossman, a professor of family law at Hofstra University Law School, said in an email to The Buffalo News.
"Proof that the ring was given in honor of a birthday or holiday or for some combination of reasons can rebut the presumption that it must be returned, but most litigants who make this claim lose," Grossman said.
Lindke told The News in January that Barnaby gave her the ring in June. Barnaby's lawsuit said it happened in July.
"We settled it. The parties agreed to resolve their differences," Muscato said. "It never should have gotten to this point."

The landscape is beautiful here- so many hills and trees- I love that I can see trees out every window in our house. And the sky... the sunrises and sunsets are magnificent. Jeff said we are over 400 feet higher than where we moved from and I told him see I am not crazy for thinking we were closer to the clouds!
We've been "home" for two nights now. As each box gets unpacked and closets get filled, it's feeling more like us. There's several more rooms in this house than our old one, so we're trying to figure out what to put where and what to buy for here or there. Gray and Ivy have their own rooms for the first time. They are doing great with the changes and are already taking charge of their space.

Head coach Kyle Flood announced, while still in New Jersey, that fifth-year senior cornerback Brandon Jones would be available for the bowl game. Jones practiced in full today and is expected to resume his starting role Friday evening.
"[Jones] wasn't limited in any way and I thought he looked good running around with the pads on today," Flood said. "I think he'll be ready to go."
Freshman kicker Kyle Federico (hip) – from Ponte Vedra, Fla. – kicked today and made a 47-yarder, Flood said. Where redshirt freshman Nick Borgese was expected to continue as the starting place kicker, the gap is narrowing between the two.
"Borgese didn't look great today," Flood said. "He looked like his back was a little bit stiff. But Federico looked good. He hit a 47-yarder. I don't know what that means. We'll work that out as the week goes on. But other than that I think we're in pretty good shape. I think we looked good running around out there."
Flood expects Andre Civil and Taj Alexander to both work at right guard Friday against the Hokies, he said.
"I think they'll both play early in the game," Flood said. "That'll be one I think we feel out as the game goes along. I do feel like Andre is 100 percent. I think he's fully recovered. He looks good running around. So I don't have any reservations about him playing in the game. But I am pleased with how Taj has played as well. So I think we'll give them both an opportunity to play early in the game.''
Recruiting Edge
With a roster full of Florida players, the chance to practice in the home-state is a Christmas gift to those players and it provides an interesting recruiting opportunity.
Though it is a dead period, recruits can visit Rutgers practices to watch. Lake Mary (Fla.) tight end Taylor Marini is set to visit for practice, he told ScarletReport.com, and will also be in attendance Friday at the Russell Athletic Bowl.
"I think it's a tremendous reward and a tremendous experience for the players currently on our team that are from Florida," Flood said. "And we have quite a few. Guys like Jawan Jamison, Kaleb Johnson, D.C. Jefferson, have been in our program for a long time. Kenny Kirksey certainly plays a lot of football for us.
"I think what you see is they get excited when they come down here. It's a great opportunity for them and their families, or maybe their extended families to see them play live. Certainly for the players we're currently recruiting in Florida it gives them an opportunity to see us down here and know that, 'Hey, if Rutgers is the right fit for me, if Rutgers is where I choose to go, I know that I may have an opportunity to come down here again and play in Florida in front of their friends and family.''

An Oakfield man faces several charges related to drunk driving after he was pulled over in a traffic stop at about 9 p.m. Friday in Akron, Erie County Sheriff's officials said.
The deputy who stopped Steven E. Wells of Oakfield found that Wells' license had been suspended for a previous alcohol-related arrest.
A breath test indicated Wells' blood alcohol content level was .20 percent, two and a half times the legal limit.
He was charged with felony aggravated DWI because his BAC was over .18 percent and the previous DWI.
He also was charged with a misdemeanor for operating a vehicle without an interlock device.
He was released on tickets to appear at a later date in Akron Village court.

|X-Ray Imaging Current-Driven Magnetic Domain-Wall Motion in Nanowires
The quest to increase both computer data-storage density and the speed at which one can read and write the information remains unconsummated. One novel concept is based on the use of a local electric current to push magnetic domain walls along a thin nanowire. A German, Korean, Berkeley Lab team has used the x-ray microscope XM-1 at the ALS to demonstrate that magnetic domain walls in curved permalloy nanowires can be moved at high speed by injecting nanosecond pulses of spin-polarized currents into the wires, but the motion is largely stochastic. This result will have an impact on the current development of magnetic storage devices in which data is moved electronically rather than mechanically as in computer disk drives.
The physical effect in current-driven domain-wall motion is based on a spin torque that is exerted by spin-polarized conduction electrons on the magnetic moments in the wire, so that a domain wall moves as the torque rotates the moments. In contrast to today's magnetic hard drives where a disk mechanically spins under a read head that reads the data stored on the disk at fixed positions, the current would move the domain walls, which represent the bits, electronically to a locally fixed read-out sensor. This idea, called racetrack memory and patented in 2004 by Stuart Parkin (IBM Almaden Research Center), would combine the advantages of both solid-state and magnetic memory devices. However, there are still several open questions blocking the jump from physics to technology (including how to boost the readout speed) whose answers depend on a better understanding of the physics involved.
To investigate the fundamental processes of spin-torque-driven motion of domain walls in curved ferromagnetic permalloy (Ni80Fe20) wires, a widely used material in disk drives, the collaboration injected pulses of nanosecond duration and of high current density to drive the motion of a single domain wall along the wire. By making polarized x-ray images with XM-1 before and after the current pulse was injected, they tracked the location of the domain wall with 25-nanometer spatial resolution. The results showed that the magnetic domain walls moved at a speed of 110 meters per second, which is very fast on the nanometer scale, 100 times faster than reported before, and is in accord with a theory of spin-torque transfer. It is believed that the nanosecond pulses reduced the chances that a wall would be pinned by imperfections in the crystalline structure during its brief motion, thereby explaining the high speed.
Although this is encouraging news for technological development, repetitive pulse experiments also showed that many of the pulses gave smaller speeds or no movement at all, so that the current-driven motion followed a statistical distribution comparable to Barkhausen jumps in the case where domain motion is driven by an applied magnetic field. Since domain-wall pinning associated with disorder plays a significant role in field-driven Barkhausen avalanches, one can assume a similar mechanism in case of current-driven domain-wall motion. The random nature of the domain-wall jumps means that reliable reading and writing await the ability to minimize the effect of inhibiting defects by better control of materials (perhaps by changing the wire geometry).
In the meantime, high-resolution soft x-ray microscopy with a 10-nm spatial resolution in combination with ultrafast time resolution in the femtosecond regime and sufficient intensity for snapshot imaging not only will be a powerful analytical tool for characterizing the dynamics in real time with nanoscale spatial resolution, but also provides an accurate experimental tool for testing theoretical models of current-induced phenomena in magnetic materials at the nanoscale.

Quite a lot of the time, automakers will keep their riskier models in their home markets. Unless they are reasonably sure that the car will be a hit overseas, they are reluctant to commit to a large and costly international release. When the Honda EV-STER concept debuted in Tokyo last year, it was assumed that this would probably be the case with this car as well; should it even make it into production. Toward the end of last year, we got word that Honda had given the car the green light, but there was still no news about whether it would make it stateside.
This is still not exactly an official yes, but the little electric sports car has now made a debut at the L.A. Auto Show. Foreign automakers might not always bring cars to the US, but they also don't show them at American shows if they have no intention of bringing them at all. Since there was no accompanying announcement that the car was US-bound, it seems that this is one of those cases where an automaker will bring a concept to an auto show in order to gauge the public's response to it. So if you're a fan of the EV-STER and would like one of your very own, now is the time to let the folks at Honda know.
The design of the concept is quite bold, and if this were a regular roadster, we'd expect that it would change quite a bit. But the EV-STER was built to be an electric car (although rumor has it that a production version could offer a choice of electric and gasoline engines) and a bold design is kind of what you'd expect from an electric roadster. So the exterior could actually end up looking quite a bit like this. The twin joysticks instead of a steering wheel on the other hand, no, I don't see that happening. Should the drivetrain remain unchanged, it will be a 78-horsepower electric motor connected to a lithium-ion battery pack. That's not all that much, so let's just hope this isn't another repeat of the CR-Z: a green sports car where Honda sadly forgot to add the sports part.

Specialized Materials Meet Critical Packaging Needs in MEMS Devices
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) present both unique market opportunities and significant manufacturing challenges for product designers in nearly every application segment. Used as accelerometers, pressure sensors, optical devices, microfluidic devices, and more, these microfabricated sensors and actuators often need to be exposed to the environment, but also need to be protected from environmental factors. Although standard semiconductor manufacturing methods provide a baseline capability in meeting these challenges, the unique requirements of MEMS devices drive a need for specialized epoxies and adhesives able to satisfy often-conflicting demands.May 12, 2016

1. I like this photo I took the other day. Typical me without makeup and typical Gray not sitting still.
2. I'm back to being a vegetarian this week. Not vegan. I like cheese sometimes. You can see why here.
3. You know how we said we weren't telling our baby's name? Well, we decided to share it with family and friends since we know that we know that we know that it's her name. So if you fall into that category you might be hearing it before the rest of the world (when she's born.)
4. This pregnancy is different than my other three. So maybe it's a girl thing. I'm itchy all over all the time. I cry all the time. And I have gotten a couple or seven (who's counting?) stretch marks on my belly- I've never had this before. Ah!
5. Fried Okra is exploiting Hugh and talking about sandwiches today (lunch actually) and besides a good veggie with lots of peppers, my other favorite is a grilled peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich. Mmmmmmmmm.
6. Even though this is my fourth pregnancy and even though I've said before how the hiccups in utero were annoying, I absolutely treasure every kick and movement and push this baby makes. This pregnancy has been like the first time all over again for me.
And now I tag six that must do this and tag six, too:

AIKEN Re-enactors portraying troops from the north and the south are helping to recreate the Battle of Aiken in South Carolina.
The event begins Saturday and continues on Sunday. It annually draws about 15,000 to the battleground outside of Aiken, and in addition to the battle, there are military encampments and reproductions of Civil War-era medical facilities.
The event recalls the 1865 battle when Confederates under Gen. Joseph Wheeler turned back a detachment of Gen. William Shermans federal troops under Brig. Gen. Hugh Judson Kilpatrick.
Kilpatricks troops tried to take Aiken but were forced to retreat and the city was not again threatened.

Learn two different hairstyles -- a men's cut as well as a bridal up-do -- and then add shading and coloring to both figures. Pearl earrings for her and a boutonni�re for him and this pair will be ready to walk down the aisle!
Fast forward on your happy couple 50 years and you've got your next set of figures, a sweet grandma and grandpa. In this lesson, you'll build on your experience with figure modeling to create all of the details that make this grandma so special: her red patten-leather shoes, ruffled skirt, frilly apron and even her wire eyeglasses. Finally, add the finishing touches: shading, an eyelet lace collar and even a cake for grandpa!
Meet grandpa, wearing in his trademark khakis and button-down shirt. You'll learn how to create shirt cuffs, a button placket and even his potbelly. Brenda demonstrates how to make faces more mature and how to create teeth and shape hands with fingers!
In your final lesson, discover how to make a figure lying down as you create Brenda's darling little girl, complete with pigtails and sparkly sash! You'll be amazed how quickly this figure comes together as you build her on her stomach, propped up on her elbows. Add more ruffled detailing and learn how to customize eye color. Then, Brenda walks you through how you can quickly turn your beautiful girl into a dashing boy as you change the hair, clothing and other details.
"Brenda is amazing, very precise with the measurements and details, I love the class."
