Agricultural Engineering Technology focuses on applied science and engineering, using existing technology to solve real world problems in the food, fuel and fiber industry.
Our courses encompass five broad areas:
In addition to instruction in the physical concepts, courses include laboratory and practicum sessions that develop student critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students have an opportunity to work with the diagnostic equipment, measurement devices, engineering handbooks and computer software that are used by industry in problem solving.
Beyond the core classes, students can choose from one of three options:
Career opportunities in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields are on the rise. More people are consuming more food and agricultural products, resulting in a greater need for trained professionals to design environmentally sound production systems. This means more jobs in service, sales, development and application of mechanical systems in agriculture and in protection and management of water, soil and air resources. Starting salaries for AET graduates are among the highest at UWRF, between $40,000-$55,000.
Our graduates are employed across a wide spectrum of the engineering profession - as test engineers and technical support for large equipment manufacturers; as plant managers, process engineers and project managers within the food and feed, and construction industries; and as consultants on waste management and erosion control issues.
graduates are prepared to work as part of the engineering team to implement and improve existing technology. The Agricultural Engineering Technology Major prepares students to be part of the engineering technology function for governmental agencies, manufacturing, sales and service companies.

Seth Morrison Gives Andy Fischbacher Free K2 Skis For Life
Scooters, jell-o eating, ski boot smelling, meat hucking and ski designing were just some of the challenges presented to the five Golden Ticket winners as they vied to win one of the best prizes in all of skiing: free skis for life.
But that was just the finale. The contest actually started last fall, as the five found their winning tickets in one of a number of ways: by buying skis, ordering stickers online and entering along with 100,000 other people at freeskisforlife.com.
The five finalists were flown to Seattle last week for the final competition: impress Seth Morrison by doing a series of challenges and building skis. The winner, at the end of the painfully long day, would walk away with free skis for life. I say painfully long because each finalist had to wear his ski boots from about 9 am until things wrapped up at 10 pm. Sweaty.
The finalists were a rag tag bunch from all walks of life. There was Dan, an ex-military officer who recently finished a tour in Iraq. There was Andy who, at 18, lays bricks in Austria. There was Eric, who was filling in for his dad while he underwent surgery. There was Alex, a physics major who seemed to really love him some physics. And last but not least, 14-year-old Jake, the online winner, who narrowly escaped losing his seat at the table when he was at a big-mountain camp, not checking his e-mail to get his invite.

After a wild dinner Tuesday night, the Big Day kicked off Wednesday morning with a meet-up in the lobby of K2 headquarters. The group was met by Drill Sargent Jeff Mechura and Seth Morrison, who set the tone quickly by ordering the finalists to put on their newly provided spandex garb and ski boots, both of which they were ordered to wear for the rest of the day. The finalists were then lead through a maze of elevator riding and stair walking, just to ensure the boots got a good working in.
For the next six hours, the finalists were treated to what few people have ever had the opportunity to see. They learned the intricate process of how to build a ski. They learned how die-cuts are made, how the proprietary K2 woven core wrap is spun, how the topsheet graphics are created, and how the massive amount of K2 skis move through the shipping system. At the end of the day, each finalist had the opportunity to hand-build their own skis, topped off with their custom-made topsheet that they prepared the night before. "All the skis are skiable," commented Seth Morrison; an impressive feat considering the number of things to mess up when building a ski.
Pep breaking a ski over his head.
The headquarters tour was educational, but it was the challenges that would help Seth decide on the one most worthy to win the ultimate prize. The highlight of the day was probably meat hucking, where each finalist grabbed a large, raw piece of beef and hucked it at a target. The spandex suits came fully equipped with spandex that ran all the way over the fingers, so there was no escaping the utter grossness of squeezing blood-running juicy beef into the suit's grips. If there's a bright point, it's that the meat juice probably made the idea of smelling each other's boots minutes earlier seem tame.
Other challenges included an obstacle course where finalists ran through a maze, hopped on scooters while evading gauntlet-esque interference from the Jack Links Sasquatch, climbing ladders, and more. Allegedly, the Sasquatch creeps around K2 headquarters from time to time, scaring the living bejesus out of unwitting employees. It had a field day with the finalists. There was a basketball game of S.E.T.H., a ski breaking contest, a game of stump… the list goes on.
When things seemed to be wrapping up, the finalists got a surprise that none of us saw coming. "You are all now part of a band called The Basslines, and you're going to be starring in K2's international ad campaign."
The finalists were carted across town to Easy Street Records, where a large stage occupies half the venue. The entire K2 Factory Team joined the finalists and a plethora of other extras K2 had gathered, and a three-hour long photoshoot ensued, with K2's Mike Powell talking on the mic the entire time. Never have I witnessed someone who can talk rubbish for that long without ever getting boring.
The Basslines put on a great show with their ski-tars while the horde of newly recruited fans partied like it was 1999. Bret Michaels wishes he could still draw such an enthusiastic crowd.
Halfway through the shoot, the DJ's record ground to a halt and Seth Morrison jumped on the microphone. It was time for each finalist to present their hand-built ski: the final and perhaps most important challenge of the day. In front of the masses, each finalist explained why they deserved free skis for the rest of their life.
After nearly eight months, a day full of challenges that culminated in a heart-felt speech, Seth came to his decision. Andreas Fischbacher, the 18-year-old bricklayer from Austria, had won the prize of a lifetime. He wore elation on his face like cheap foundation, glowing speechlessly under the stage lights, a smile from ear to ear. Though The Bassline were a fake band, Andreas, or Andy, was a true rockstar in that moment as he stood beside Seth Morrison; a true dream come true for any skier.
"You know that feeling when you stand up in the morning, looking out of the window and the weather is shit, and then you are riding on the mountain, get through the clouds on the gondola and the sun is shining and there are no clouds on the sky?" says Andy. "If you know this feeling, it's like this just a bit awesomer!"
Congratulations to Andy, and a huge thanks to K2, Seth Morrison, and everyone else involved for putting on this incredible contest, two years running.
Stay tuned, as we're about to announce a new, equally insane contest with K2 for next year.

Bought these for my son in law. The six sided box end is great for those hard to loosen nuts.

These wrenches have proven themselves time and time again. They are a product of great quality at an affordable price. I have used Craftsman wrenches for years and will stand by their products. If a tool gets broken, they will replace it free of charge. That in its self has me sold

While I don't work on many vehicles with metric fasteners, I sometimes find them on newer cars and for that I needed a set of wrenches and these six point wrernches fit perfectly, just what I would expect from a US made tool! Way to go Craftsman!
Harrisburg, IL
What a perfect companion set for a 15 year old who is getting his first set of tools! We got him the 200 piece set which only came with six wrenches and that just ain't enough! This set is the six point set since the car he has (1976 Firebird) has only a few places where a 12 point would be needed and I have plenty of those he can use (all Craftsman, of course!).
Honolulu, HI
via sears.com
Purchased this on clearance for $20 and was an incredible value! I've never had an issue with a Craftsman tool EVER and I don't foresee that I ever will. I've bought "cheapies" made from China, Korea, India, etc. and they've all broken due to high torque stress and ended up costing me more in the long run. Don't make the same mistake: buy quality tools and SAVE $$. "You get what you pay for". End of story.
Paramus, NJ
via sears.com
I prefer 6pt wrenches to 12pt wrenches because of their reduced likelihood to strip a bolt head. If you really need the reduced swing of a 12pt, you're better off with a socket set anyway. (12pt wrenches need at least 30 degress of rotation while socket sets only need 10 degrees of rotation.) If you need to break a bolt free, these are probably your best bet (short of a breaker bar which is a somewhat limited use tool.) These wrenches are still made in the USA as of Dec 2010. The pictures don't show it, but the packaging states that they are made domestically, and each wrench is also forged likewise. If your budget allows, the Craftsman 8 pc. Metric Reversible Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set (part # 42405) is even nicer. I recently upgraded to those, and strongly recommend them. Those are also still made in the USA. Their only downside is that they cost substantially more than this set. If it matters to you, the regular, non-reversible ratcheting wrenches are made in China, and do not have the 15 degree offset at the box end.

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Winner of an O. Henry Memorial Contest short story award, "A Worn Path" though an early story, is as accomplished as any of Welty's later fiction. This story exemplifies Welty's special power of placing the reader inside convincing and interesting characters without reducing the essential mystery of human character. This power makes her characters seem complete and real. In her essay on "A Worn Path," Welty reveals that the story originated in her vision of a solitary old woman: I saw her, at a middle distance, in a winter country landscape, and watched her slowly make her way across my line of vision. The sight of her made me write the story. I invented an errand for her, but that only seemed a living part of the figure she was herself: what errand other than for someone else could be making her go?
Welty also emphasizes that, though it is possible that the grandson is dead, the really important feature of the story is Phoenix's belief that he is alive and that "he going to last." This incentive for Phoenix's quest is central; the possible ambiguity of the grandson's condition is peripheral. Welty's expressed purpose in this story is to focus on Phoenix's habitual goodness.
Crucial to the story's success is Welty's choice of narrative point of view. By confining the reader to Phoenix's perceptions, Welty avoids the danger of sentimentality that she would have risked in a more external presentation of a good...

Historical Context
War and Poverty
Welty's "A Worn Path" was published in 1941, the same year the United States entered World War II, Europe had already been involved in the conflict for several years since Adolph Hitler began enlarging Germany's empire. Germany declared war on the United States in December, after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the U.S.'s declaration of war against Japan. Set against the brewing global conflict, Welty's tale of rural life in the South may seem out of context for the times. Phoenix Jackson's world is much smaller than the global world of international warfare. Her world revolves around her home, her grandson, and the rural life of Natchez, Mississippi.
The story was inspired in part by the work Welty was doing in the early 1940s for the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The WPA was established by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1934 as a way to put many unemployed people to work building necessary infrastructure—bridges, dams, power plants—to make the country a modern and efficient world power. Welty was a photographer for the WPA, which also included many arts programs, and as she observed an elderly black woman laboriously crossing a field, the idea for "A Worn Path'' emerged. Poverty during these years was a reality for many, particularly for blacks and particularly for rural Southerners. Phoenix Jackson was both of these. Quite possibly, Phoenix was old enough to have been born into slavery, or at the very...

Literary Style
Point of View
"A Worn Path" is told from a third-person limited point of view. This allows the reader to empathize with Phoenix, because her thoughts and actions are shown. Yet, in third-person, the reader is allowed to view Phoenix from a distance, and thereby see her as others see her.
The most obvious symbol in the story is Phoenix Jackson's comparison to the mythological bird, the phoenix. Dressed in vivid colors, Phoenix's resilience is underscored by her comparison with a bird that rises from the ashes every 500 years. Additionally, Phoenix's grandson is described by the woman as "[wearing] a little patch quilt and peep out holding his mouth open like a little bird."
Welty has been praised from early on for her use of language. In using similes, she makes vivid comparisons that help the reader form a mind's eye picture of the action. Similes are direct comparisons that use words such as "like" or "as" to link the two ideas. One such simile in this story occurs in the description of Phoenix Jackson's face: "Her skin had a pattern all its own of numberless branching wrinkles and as though a whole little tree stood in the middle of her forehead. "The narrator describes her cane as being "limber as a buggy whip." As Phoenix walks across the log, she looks "like a festival figure in some parade." She encounters big dead trees "like black men with one arm." Other similes in the story...

Topics for Further Study
Research the history of the Natchez Trace in Mississippi and the surrounding area. How has the trail been important to various groups throughout history, and why is this an appropriate setting for Welty's story of Phoenix Jackson?
Find out about race relations in the United States, especially in Mississippi, during the early 1940s. Are these the same attitudes Welty depicts in "A Worn Path"?
The journey has been a literary device since ancient Greek times when Homer wrote The Odyssey, How is Phoenix Jackson's walk through the woods similar to Odysseus's seven-year journey home after the Trojan War?

Ten-man Bees frustrated by Carlisle
9:16am Monday 2nd September 2013 in Sport By Simon Webster
Brentford failed to find a way past resolute defending from Carlisle United as the sides played out a dour 0-0 draw at Griffin Park on Saturday.
With the sides very different starts to the season – Brentford tucked in fourth place in the table and the visitors second from bottom – it was always going to be down to the home side to seek a way through, and despite seeing a legitimate looking goal disallowed, they failed to do so.
Even the dismissal of captain Tony Craig for a straight red card during the second half made little difference to the shape of play as Carlisle dug in for a point.
During a first half which lacked tempo and urgency, Craig headed a Sam Saunders free kick over, while Scott Barron saw his shot from a Saunders cutback blocked for a corner and Farid El Alagui knocked a Saunders free kick behind from the edge of the six yard box.
In the second half substitute Will Grigg saw his headed from a Shaleum Logan cross easily held by Mark Gillespie.
David Button made a good save from Lee Miller in a rare foray forward by Carlisle.
Craig was dismissed when his last ditch tackle on David Amoo brought the striker down as he raced through on goal.
Substitute Jake Reeves could have done better when he picked the ball up in midfield and fired wide of the right hand post.
The main talking point came when substitute Toumani Diagouraga looked to have bundled the ball home from close range, but the referee harshly judged that Clayton Donaldson had fouled Gillespie.
So the Bees remain unbeaten, but will feel it was a case of two points dropped at home.
Brentford: Button, Logan, Craig, Dean, Barron; Saunders (sub Reeves 67), Forshaw, Saville (sub Diagouraga 75), McCormack; Donaldson, El Alagui (sub Grigg h/t)
Subs (not used): Bonham O'Connor, Dallas, Fillo
Attendance: 6,035

Here's a super easy Easter Egg Craft that you can do with the kiddos with things you probably have around the house. It's a simple way to decorate and show off their artwork too!
Egg Craft Supplies:
Cardstock cut in to egg shapes
Scrapbook paper
Glue sticks
Hole punch & Ribbon (optional for banner)
I cut an egg for each member of the family and let each person decorate their own (well maybe the hubs was at work, so we made him a checkered one.) My four year old did his all on his own. For my 17 month old, I would hold up 3 colors of paper and let him choose the color and I would incorporate it on his egg somehow.
Punch holes and string together to use for a Easter banner.

Win! $250 to spend at 17Sundays
When we were 17 we smelled like teen spirit, knew all the words to Hold on by Wilson Phillips, could occasionally do the humpty dance and were always always ready to... stop ...for some quality hammer time.
The Sundays, Pixies and Sonic Youth sound tracked our weekends as we tried to make denim overalls work (FAIL), match flannel shirts, with baby doll dresses and rocked a super high waisted carrot top denim jeans with baggy Cherry Lane grandpa tees.
Today, even though we STILL know all the words to Wilson Phillips, we have managed to put together a pretty impressive resume of fashion industry achievements, gained huge amounts of experience and worked with some leading denim brands.
The term plus size fashion doesn't sit well with us, we don't think fashion needs to be categorised or labeled.
Fashion, shouldn't judge, stereotype, ostracise or exclude, to us fashion is just self expression.

Billy Barty Movies
American dwarf actor
Billy Barty
always claimed to have been born in the early '20s, but the evidence of his somewhat wizened, all-knowing countenance in his film appearances of the 1930s would suggest that he was at least ten years shy of the whole truth. At any rate,
made many film appearances from at least 1931 onward, most often cast as bratty children due to his height. He was a peripheral member of an
Our Gang
rip-off in the
Mickey McGuire
comedy shorts, portrayed the infant-turned-pig in
Alice in Wonderland
(1933), he did a turn in blackface as a "shrunken"
Eddie Cantor
Roman Scandals
(also 1933), and he frequently popped up as a lasciviously leering baby in the risqué musical highlights of
Busby Berkeley
's Warner Bros. films. One of
's most celebrated cinema moments occurred in 1937's
Nothing Sacred
, in which, playing a small boy, he pops up out of nowhere to bite
Fredric March
in the leg.
was busy but virtually anonymous in films, since he seldom received screen credit. TV audiences began to connect his name with his face in the 1950s when
was featured on various variety series hosted by bandleader
Spike Jones
. Disdainful of certain professional "little people" who rely on size alone to get laughs,
was seen at his very best on the
programs, dancing, singing, and delivering dead-on impressions: the diminutive actor's takeoff on
was almost unbearably funny. Though he was willing to poke fun at himself on camera,
was fiercely opposed to TV and film producers who exploited midgets and dwarves, and as he continued his career into the 1970s and '80s,
saw to it that his own roles were devoid of patronization -- in fact, he often secured parts that could have been portrayed by so-called "normal" actors, proof that one's stature has little to do with one's talent. A two-fisted advocate of equitable treatment of short actors,
Billy Barty
took time away from his many roles in movies (
Foul Play
[1988]) and TV to maintain his support organization The Little People of America and the Billy Barty Foundation.

Frasier: High Crane Drifter
With his nerves at the breaking point, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) is in no mood for the rude behavior he encounters at every turn at the Café Nervosa. When one customer becomes particularly abusive, Frasier uncharacteristically administers an "etiquette lesson" with physical force. Word quickly spreads concerning this outburst turning Frasier into a local hero -- whereupon his radio listeners follow his example by settling their problems with their fists. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Radioland Murders to top of Queue
A blend of screwball farce and whodunit murder mystery, this madcap period piece was the brainchild of executive producer George Lucas. In 1939, Penny Henderson (Mary Stuart Masterson) is the harried general secretary and de facto manager of a new fourth radio network, WBN. On the night that the Chicago station goes live on the air, a mysterious voice interrupts, and a series of murders soon follows, each one described by the same sonorous phantom. While Penny and her staff desperately try to keep WBN's roster of shows afloat during the unfolding crisis, her estranged husband Roger (Brian Benben), a staff writer, becomes the chief suspect. Roger is forced to dodge a detective, Lieutenant Cross (Michael Lerner), find the real killer, win Penny back, and perform last-minute script rewrites for an unhappy sponsor. As the backstage hysteria reaches a fever pitch, the show goes on with real-life radio-era pros such as George Burns and Rosemary Clooney. Although never explicitly pointed out in the film, Radioland Murders (1994) was a pseudo-prequel to an earlier Lucas feature -- Roger and Penny are the future parents of Curt Henderson (Richard Dreyfuss) from American Graffiti (1973). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

If a comedy is to be made from the plight of the homeless, who have to scrape through their days returning deposit bottles and cleaning car windshields to get their daily bread as the rich get richer and more heartless, it may as well be Mel Brooks' Life Stinks. The trademark Brooks humor dominates this fable about a ruthless billionaire, Goddard Bolt (Mel Brooks), who wants to obliterate a poor section of Los Angeles and build a high-tech commercial center in its place. His only problem is that he owns only half the land needed for the construction, the other half belonging to equally ruthless billionaire Vance Craswell (Jeffrey Tambor), who has his own ideas for the land. The two try to buy each other out until, finally, a deal is struck: Craswell bets that Bolt cannot survive a month on the streets as a homeless man. If Bolt makes it, he gets the property. If he doesn't, Craswell gets it. Bolt agrees and, as a poor man, he begins to feel the pain of being uprooted and alone, even meeting a friendly homeless woman, Molly (Lesley Ann Warren) with whom he forms an attachment. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

UHF is the film debut of comedy rock satirist Weird Al Yankovic, who also co-wrote the screenplay. George Newman (Yankovic) and his friend Bob (David Bowe from The Cable Guy) are fired from their jobs at Burger World. So George decides to take over Channel 62, a failing local TV station that his uncle Harvey (Stanley Brock) won in a poker game. George turns it around into an overnight success after letting the janitor, Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards from Seinfeld), host a kid's show. George then fills the broadcast day with bizarre programming, bringing the ratings up and saving the station. Soon, rival station CEO R.J. Fletcher (Kevin McCarthy) of Channel 8 threatens to sabotage the successful station, and George must come up with a way to save it. Only loosely constructed around this storyline, UHF is mostly a series of TV, movie, and music parodies strung together and played for cheap laughs. UHF also stars Victoria Jackson, Emo Philips, and Fran Drescher. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

This farcical send-up of the movie business borrows a plot from the classic 1968 Mel Brooks film The Producers. It stars Tony Curtis as J.P. Sheldrake, a movie producer sorely in need of a flop for tax purposes. Imagine his delight when a very young would-be filmmaker shows up on his doorstep with what could be the worst B-movie ever made, Lobster Man From Mars. In the story-within-a-story, a Martian lobster-man who has come to earth to steal some badly needed air for his home planet grows increasingly addicted to munching on humans. He is pursued by an addlepated professor (Patrick Macnee) a couple of all-American teens, and a trigger-happy military man. The movie looks guaranteed to be a flop, but of course it foils Sheldrake's plan by becoming a huge success. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Though Willow was one of director Ron Howard's few box-office disappointments, it definitely deserves a second look. At once an epic celebration and a gentle spoof of the sword-and-sorcery genre, the film concerns the efforts by little person Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) to protect a sacred infant from the machinations of a wicked queen (Jean Marsh). One source book has assessed the picture as a combination of The Ten Commandments and Snow White. This is true enough, except that neither one of those properties offered such offbeat casting choices as Billy Barty and Jean Marsh. Executive producer George Lucas has (through the conduit of screenwriter Bob Dolman) added elements of his own Star Wars saga to the stew. The results are generally satisfactory, though the film is sometimes weighed down by too much plot, and the action sequences may not be suitable for very young children. Incidentally, this is the film where co-star Val Kilmer met his future wife Joanne Whalley. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Harry Similac (Dirk Benedict) is a music promoter who must scramble to stay out of debt in this slapstick comedy. He hits upon the idea of becoming a wrestling promoter and steals Rick Roberts (Roddy Piper) from his former manager Captain Lou Milano (Lou Albano). He books his rock band Kick at the match and creates a new phenomena that combines wrestling with rock n' roll. Charles Nelson Reilly, Billy Barty, and John Astin provide memorable comedy relief. Cameo appearances by wrestlers Ric Flair, Afa & Sika, Sheik Adnan Al Kaissy, Freddie Blassie, and Bruno Sammartino add further realism to this feature that recalls the rock-and-wrestling spectaculars of the early 1980s. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Billy Barty, one of the world's biggest little people, stars in this musical children's fable from the Brothers Grimm. Rumpelstiltskin (Barty) promises the miller's daughter Katie (Amy Irving) that she will be able to spin straw into gold in order to win the love of the Prince (John Mouler-Brown). After the marriage, Katie gives birth to a son that the nasty gnome abducts. Rumpelstiltskin agrees to give the child back to Katie if she can guess his name. An excellent performance from Billy Barty who began his career in the silent film era. Amy Irving's brother David provides the direction. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Tough Guys
Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas team up one last time in Tough Guys. Harry Doyle (Lancaster) and Archie Lang (Douglas) are two old-time train robbers, who held up a train in 1956 and have been incarcerated for thirty years. After serving their time, they are released from jail and have to adjust to a new life of freedom, now as old men. Harry and Archie realize that they still have the pizzazz when, picking up their prison checks at a bank, they foil a robbery attempt. Archie, who spent his prison time pumping himself up, easily picks up a 20-year-old aerobics instructor named Skye (Darlanne Fluegel). Harry, on the other hand, has to waste away his days in a nursing home. They both have festering resentments --Archie for having to endure a humiliating job as a busboy; Harry for having to endure patronizing attitudes toward senior citizens. The two old pals finally go back to what they know best. After successfully robbing an armored car, they decide to rob the same train that they robbed thirty years ago. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Fun Factory [TV Series]
Details are sketchy regarding the British Saturday-morning children's program Fun Factory. It is known that the series debuted in 1983 as an intended replacement for the legendary ITV kiddie weekender TISWAS. Lacking the earlier series' stellar guest-star lineup, the "new" show at least afforded a rare weekly host opportunity to American dwarf actor Billy Barty. Unfortunately, Fun Factory didn't last as long as its predecessor. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Shania Twain had a New Year's Day wedding and shared her photos on her website.
Twain tied the knot with Frédéric Thiébaud in Puerto Rico on Saturday in front of 40 of their closest friends and family members. According to her website, the bride wore Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Calvin Klein shoes. Her dress was purchased from a small boutique in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Thiébaud and Twain got together following an alleged cheating scandal involving their spouses. He is the ex-husband of Marie-Anne Thiebaud, Shania's former friend and secretary and manager of her chateau in Switzerland. An alleged affair between Marie-Anne and Shania's ex-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange was uncovered in 2008.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Homemade lemon-pepper seasoning costs less than store-bought and has a naturally fresher flavor. Simply mix finely grated lemon zest of 1 lemon with 2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns for this Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Salad.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 ounces each)
1 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning
1 red or green bell pepper, cut in thick slices
2 zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 green onions
1 head Romaine lettuce
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing

Floorball is a fast and exciting game that promotes end-to-end plays with quick transitions and fluid game play. The rules stress the importance of safety and sportsmanship and are designed to limit the chance of injury without decreasing the speed or skill of the game. Below is a brief summary of the rules of floorball:
Floorball sticks are engineered for superior stickhandling, ball control and shooting. They are lightweight, inexpensive, durable and non-marking. A floorball stick should reach about two centimeters above the belly button of the player. The official ball is 72 mm in diameter, weighs 23 g and is made of hard plastic with 26 evenly distributed holes, similar to a whiffle ball. A floorball net is 160 cm wide by 115 cm high, similar to the size of a hockey net. Floorball players do not wear any protective equipment – only a t-shirt, shorts and athletic shoes are required. Players may wear protective eyewear but it is not mandatory.

I do luv the chemistry between Robert and Kristen. I wish the Best Kiss Award would have been a better kiss and I would have loved to known what was Robert's other ideas for the kiss, but with that aside it was nice seeing them sitting next to each other for a change.
- June 8, 2010 at 2:51 PM
- twilightnan said...
I agree with you ,.I also wished Rob and Kristen could have kissed better but it was still lovely to see kristen's hand on Rob's neck and his arm around her shoulder when he suddenly grabbed to kiss her I wished there was a camera angle that could show that moment ,wow!that would had been fantastic! and to see them sitting side by side was very nice and both looking devastatingly handsome and beautiful..with a co-ordinated outfits (gold/black)giving the impression that they got dressed together!!I love them to bits!! there is always next year best kiss awards 2011..you know the saying..third time is a charm!!I'm sure they will win the best kiss award again ..just imagine the 'leg hitched on the hip'wow!! that was one of the hottest part of the book!!
- June 8, 2010 at 6:42 PM
- Iluvthemovies said...
I agree the leg hitch kissing scene will most definitely be nominated for next year's award show. I hope it lives up the hype, I want the chemistry from Twilight that IMO was missing in NM. So far the acting has improved and Robert in many of the clips looks so angry and hurt by Bella's friendship with Jacob.
- June 9, 2010 at 1:57 AM
- twilightnan said...
I hope so too!!Hoping Rob and Kristen just to put aside their nervousness and display that wonderful magic chemistry in Twilight that all the fans fell in love with !..it does'nt have to be the bedroom scene..the one either in the school car park or the one infront of Charlie's house would do..even only a brief one..I am sure this will make up for the disappointment of the fans who voted for them two years running, and would make them very happy!!!or to shock us even more ..they can always do the meadow kiss or the part when Bella managed to take Edward's shirt off!..when they win the BEST KISS AGAIN IN 2011!!perhaps the fans can make a petition about this for consideration prior to the mtv awards next year!!??

What I think they should try to do is beat the Best Kiss of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. If perhaps they thought of it as a competition they may actually show their fans a spectacular kiss. Regardless if they are dating or not, you don't want to be beaten by Sandra Bullock kissing Scarlett Johansson or Jonah Hill and Russell Brand kissing when you win the Best Kiss award. Come on Robert and Kristen your actors, show us what you got and can give to the fans who vote for you.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Some neighbors are frustrated that they can't use their mailboxes after vandals damaged them.
It happened near Research and Austin Bluffs in Colorado Springs.
Someone tore open the back of the mailbox, but it's not clear if the suspect took anything.
A sign taped to the broken mailbox states that it was recently vandalized and that mail might have been stolen.
Daniel Mitchell got a letter from the post office, warning him about what happened and what he needs to do.
"We should make sure that people we sent things to got them," said Mitchell.
David Maloney lives in the neighborhood. He is worried about possible identity theft.
"Since it's tax time, we're getting a lot of tax documents," said Maloney. "We're concerned if there were any tax documents that might have been stolen that had our Social Security numbers."
For now, the people in the neighborhood have to go to the nearest post office to get their mail until the mailbox is fixed.
11 News has learned that the Postal Inspection Service is investigating what happened. They are hoping to have the mailbox fixed soon, possibly by the end of the week.

Grab a Button!
Product 134/208
Logan Hawke jerked awake, his heart pounding in his chest in time to the rolling cracks of thunder from his nightmare. It took several deep, increasingly steady breaths for his heart rate to stabilize even as he swung his legs around until his feet were resting on the floor. He hated that memory. Ever since the day of that fight it had haunted him. Almost every night, for the past three weeks, he'd seen flashes of it in his dreams. If she'd just stayed down, after she'd fallen from that tree, maybe it wouldn't be haunting him this badly. But she hadn't. She'd kept fighting, kept trying to electrocute him. He'd had no choice but to fight back
He ground his teeth, fists convulsively clenching over his knees, as his mind fast forwarded the rest of that battle. He wished the memory would fade, but it didn't. It refused to fall back, or even go dim around the edges. And the sight of his unconscious, beaten opponent – a woman he'd once thought he respected – being carried to her family's getaway car would likely haunt him for the rest of his life. That was why he disliked violence. It was too easy for him. Too easy to break things or hurt someone. And he'd hurt Emma Matthews, badly. The knowledge that her family had been actively trying to kill his – even that her father had been partially responsible for the deaths of two of his uncles – didn't ease the guilt and regret in his stomach.
At the end of the day, he and his family had survived that fight. They had more than survived, really; they'd won. That should have been enough. And in some ways it was. At least we haven't heard from them since. It was small consolation, really, but it was all he had.
Logan sighed, forcibly uncurling his fists, and focused his gaze on his darkened bedroom. He looked around, hoping the familiar décor would distract his mind, and allowed his eyes to adjust to the lack of light in the way no one else could. It only took seconds to discern – in crisp detail – the shape of his tall, old-fashioned armoire and the sliding doors to his closet on the far wall. His dark, chocolate brown curtains were hanging, perfectly still, over the large window above the other side of his bed. His comforter and the thinner, warmer blanket beneath – also shades of brown – were bunched over the foot of the bed. His sheets were rumpled and twisted. And the clock above the nightstand, beside him, insisted it was barely past one. Far too early to let himself stay up.
Dragging a hand down his face, Logan took a long, slow breath and stretched out again on his bed. He needed to sleep. He would be busy in the morning and if he didn't get back to sleep he'd regret it. For a moment, without bothering to tug the blankets back over his shirtless body, he let himself stare at the ceiling. When he found himself starting to list the things he had scheduled for the next day he released another breath and let his eyes close once more.
She was reaching, stretching her trembling arm beyond the top of the short wall of earth that separated them. Her fingertips were sparking and dark determination clouded her eyes.
Logan's eyes snapped open again with a sharp intake of breath. Sleep wasn't interested in being his friend at the moment, apparently. With a groan, Logan pushed all the way to his feet and started down the hall, toward his bathroom. Maybe, if he were lucky, he could splash some water on his face and chase away the memory for a few hours.
