On Wednesday got a chance to play at Rob's private DG course. Cubby was able to escape from the boardwalk to enjoy 4-5 rounds. Rob made awesome Peanut Butter and Orange Marmalade sandwiches. Pictured above is a Portable Disc Target. 
Famed US military mad-scientist bureau DARPA (the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency) is engaged in an effort to grow/build cyborg moths for use as spies. No, really. The program is called Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or HI-MEMS. In it, the arguably over-caffeined DARPA boffins aim to construct a tiny lepidopterine infiltration borg by growing a living moth around a "micro-mechanical system"
"Animal world has provided mankind with locomotion over millennia,"* says Dr Amit Lal, DARPA HI-MEMS program manager.
"For example we have used horses and elephants...olfactory training of bees has been used to locate mines and weapons of mass destruction. The HI-MEMS program is aimed to develop technology that provides more control over insect locomotion, just as saddles and horseshoes are needed for horse locomotion control."
Except that, rather than saddling up a moth and riding off, DARPA wants to implant a metallic core which will wear their bodies like a living cloak. Sound familiar? It does to us. If Dr Lal was using vast Austrian bodybuilders rather than moths, we'd be talking Terminator yet again (this happens rather a lot when one starts looking at the US defence establishment).
PLUMSTED — After a six-hour manhunt that disrupted a quiet neighborhood and kept residents from their homes, a man sought in connection with a report of a shooting was in police custody late Wednesday night.
Shortly before 11:30 p.m., Adam Lloyd, 26, of Lakewood Road in the New Egypt section of Plumsted, surrendered to a Plumsted police officer on Route 537 after a 15-minute negotiation via cell phone, according to Capt. Jeff Harper of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office.
Although Lloyd did not have a gun on him when he surrendered, police later recovered a gun in the woods after he told them where to find it. It was unclear who owned the gun.
Lloyd apparently arrived at the home of his girlfriend, Sandra Teehan, who lives at 48 Tower Road with her parents. He and Teehan have a child together, according to Plumsted police Lt. George Titko.
Lloyd and Teehan had an argument, during which Lloyd apparently threatened to kill himself and fired two shots outside the house, then took off into the woods with the gun. Their child was not home at the time, and it was unclear where Teehan's parents were.
Streets blocked off
Residents were being let back into the area, where roads had been blocked off as police officers, including state SWAT teams and helicopters from Philadelphia, searched the woods.
Harper said authorities received a report of shots fired and possibly a barricaded subject at around 5:20 p.m. Wednesday. By the time police responded, Lloyd had left the house and was in nearby woods.
Throughout Wednesday night, authorities combed the woods both on foot and from helicopters overhead. For a time, residents unable to return to their homes in the neighborhood of roughly 50 to 60 houses watched the manhunt unfold.
An officer could be seen in a camouflage suit with a high-powered rifle, as a Philadelphia police helicopter circled overhead. Along Route 537, police — including officers from Lakewood, Jackson and Freehold — were stationed at every cross street.
Around 10 p.m., police said that some roads into the area were being opened and closed on a rotating basis as the search progressed. State troopers with shotguns and officers with dogs could be seen in the vicinity of a command post; they declined to speak to a reporter or to provide any further information.
State Police and officers from Plumsted, Manasquan and Jackson were among those responding, as well as the Ocean County sheriff's tactical team and Ocean County Regional SWAT Team North.
As the helicopters and SWAT teams combed the area, family members of residents could be seen waiting anxiously on the streets.
Most of us are very upset about the status of the WAR and a lot of us are very much against the WAR but don't forget that we are not only fighting for our Freedom but for BABES such as the Bush Girls.....may the Muslims never lay their greasy hands on these ladies......imagine how they would look in Burkhas....Hey Jenna....bad Girl.....!!!!!
ALBANY, NY—As their deadline drew near and they realized they still lacked an event significant enough to inspire a moving yearbook dedication, the staff of Albany High School's The Annual decided to take action by brutally sacrificing star basketball forward and homecoming king Ryan Edwards last weekend, senior class officials reported Monday."Edwards, 18, died in the early hours of Saturday morning after his 2002 Chrysler Pacifica plummeted nearly 30 feet into a ravine five miles north of Albany. The Annual staff, which threw a post-game party Edwards attended that same night, blamed the accident on a combination of acute intoxication, malicious drugging, and vehicle pushing.
Norstrand said the decision to martyr Edwards was made only as a last resort following a school year void of varsity sports team bus crashes, drunk-driving accidents, the deaths of beloved teachers, or any other rich yearbook dedication material.
While at Pt. Pleasant beach this weekend my family and I had the surprising opportunity of having a B-1 Bomber fly above the shoreline @ 2,000 feet altitude. It was a short-lived but pretty impressive sight. For those interested here is some info on the B-1 Bomber.......magThe B-1B is a multi-role, long-range bomber, capable of flying intercontinental missions without refueling, then penetrating present and predicted sophisticated enemy defenses. It can perform a variety of missions, including that of a conventional weapons carrier for theater operations. Through 1991, the B-1 was dedicated to the nuclear deterrence role as part of the single integrated operational plan (SIOP)
The B-1B's electronic jamming equipment, infrared countermeasures, radar location and warning systems complement its low-radar cross-section and form an integrated defense system for the aircraft.
The swing-wing design and turbofan engines not only provide greater range and high speed at low levels but they also enhance the bomber's survivability. Wing sweep at the full-forward position allows a short takeoff roll and a fast base-escape profile for airfields under attack. Once airborne, the wings are positioned for maximum cruise distance or high-speed penetration. The B-1B holds several world records for speed, payload and distance
Patti & I visited one of our superlative friends at the Boardwalk. Cubby, on a beautiful sunny day, was hard at work running the most organized, impressive, beautiful store on the Boardwalk in Pt. Pleasant, NJ, which I know must have been tough since he would rather have been Disc Golfing,......Hey Cubby thanks for your hospitality......you're the best......Mag & Patti

Study: 38 Percent Of People Not Actually Entitled To Their Opinion CHICAGO—In a surprising refutation of the conventional wisdom on opinion entitlement, a study conducted by the University of Chicago's School for Behavioral Science concluded that more than one-third of the U.S. population is neither entitled nor qualified to have opinions.
"On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced," said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz, who based the findings on hundreds of telephone, office, and dinner-party conversations compiled over a three-year period. "While people have long asserted that it takes all kinds, our research shows that American society currently has a drastic oversupply of the kinds who don't have any good or worthwhile thoughts whatsoever. We could actually do just fine without them."
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Donald Trump, whose low-rated reality s how "The Apprentice" was left off the new prime-time schedule unveiled this week by NBC, says the network can't fire him -- he quits.
The real estate mogul issued a statement on Friday saying he has informed the U.S. television network he is "moving on from 'The Apprentice' to a major new TV venture," though he declined to elaborate.
There was no immediate comment from NBC.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Former President Carter says President Bush's administration is "the worst in history" in international relations, taking aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.

Highlights of StarCraft II include:
"BRUCE WILLIS is fed up with listening to outspoken actors - and believes their opinion shouldn't mean "jack s**t" to the general public. The Die Hard star understands some of his colleagues want to do good for various causes, but wishes others would keep their thoughts to themselves. He says, "I don't think my opinion means jack s**t, because I'm an actor. "Why do actors think their opinions mean more because you act? You just caught a break as an actor. There are hundreds - thousands - of actors who are just as good as I am, and probably better. "Have you heard anything useful come out of an actor's mouth lately?" He adds, "Although I liked George Clooney's documentary on Darfur.""
On the way to work commuting to a project site about 100 miles away, I saw a Woman w/New York plates driving her Mercedes with a baby in the back and a plug-in Breast Pump on her Boobs.....boy was it shocking (maybe mildly erotic but more scary).....anyway I thought it was a weird thing, but is it De Rigeur......?...check the article.....I HAD NO IDEA......mag But where, oh where, to pump? Private offices are a thing of the past and few businesses offer even a cubicle where a woman can pump in peace. It is this dilemma that has forced many of us into the only semi-private sphere where a working woman can have some control: the car.
It is not uncommon for nursing working mothers to make a mad lunchtime dash for a car, plug into the cigarette lighter and pump away in the parking lot.
But not me. I pump on the road.
The trio's adoptive mother, a mixed breed farm dog called "Huani," is expected to nurse them for about a month or until their appetites outpace her supply, Chen said.
Chen said it is common for Chinese zoos to use surrogate dog mothers to nurse rejected tiger cubs and that Huani has nursed tigers before.
In the past, Paomaling put dog urine on their rejected cub's fur to make the surrogate think she was nursing one of her own puppies but the zoo didn't bother with Huani because she seemed not to mind nursing the tigers, he said.
"The family is getting along well and seems to enjoy each other," Chen said.

Live from Centenary College (Go ahead and tell me that you've heard of it before and you're a LIAR) in Hacketstown NJ, this college radio station is as good (dare I say maybe better) than WXPN in UPenn.Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College has evolved from a coeducational preparatory school into a modern, independent, four-year baccalaureate and master-level institution of higher learning.
No stranger to change, Centenary evolved from its origin as a coeducational preparatory school to a girls’ preparatory school (1910), a junior college for women (1940), a four-year women’s college (1976), a coeducational baccalaureate-degree-granting institution (1988), and a master-degree-granting institution (1995).
Centenary plays a significant role in providing educational programs to the adult population of northwest New Jersey. In 1976, Centenary began to offer coeducational degree programs for evening students.
The Frisbee is still flying high at 50. And like many a baby boomer the same age, it's big into golf .
That's not bad for something that came about after inventor Walter Morrison and his friends and family were tossing around a metal popcorn lid at a picnic prior to Thanksgiving dinner in 1937. From that game sprang the idea for the flying disc, which underwent various incarnations before Morrison sold the rights to WHAM-O to manufacture his Pluto Platter, which first came out on Jan. 23, 1957.
According to company lore, the name comes from seeing Yale students throwing pie tins from the Frisbie Baking Company while on a promotional tour for the platter that year. By 1959, Emeryville, Calif.-based WHAM-O had a trademark for the name Frisbee.

The papa mole reached his head out of the hole and said, "Mmmmm, I smell sausage."
The mama mole reached her head outside of the hole and said "Mmmmmm, I smell pancakes."
The baby mole tried to reach his head outside the hole but couldn't because of the two bigger moles. The baby mole said, "The only thing I can smell is molasses."
"But I always get it here," says the blonde.
"Do you have the container it comes in?"
"Yes!" says the blonde, "I will go and get it."
She returns with the container and hands it to the pharmacist, who looks at it and says to her, "This is just a normal stick of underarm deodorant."
The annoyed blonde snatches the container back and reads out loud from the container: "To apply, push up bottom."
The owner of an S&M dungeon has turned to his job centre to find a 'trampling dominatrix'.
Garry James has so far not found anyone to fill the vacancy at his Girl Power dungeon in Newton Flotman, Norfolk, where clients will pay up to £100 an hour to satisfy their fetish of being trodden on.
'There are no sexual services involved as walkers stay fully clothed,' the 32-year-old said.
The advert tells potential applicants it is a 'fun job' and previous experience of trampling 'is not essential as training will be given'.
You gotta look at the bright side....hey where's the Disc Golf Basket....??????

Wisconsin festival sells deep-fried testiclesWisconsinites have deep-fried cheese curds, candy bars and Twinkies. They now have deep-fried livestock testicles, too.
More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill in Elderon in central Wisconsin.
"Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you're eating, it's just like eating any other food, and it tastes good," Buster Hoffman said.
Festival founder Nancy Fenske said the festival grew out of her late husband Roger's birthday party 12 years ago. They decided to have "a nut fry" at Mama's Place after bringing back lamb fries from a trip to Montana.
The event grew every year and now they fry up to 100 pounds of testicles, she said.
"What else can you do in a small town?" Fenske said.
Butch Joubert, 58, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs also served at the festival, he said.
"After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Joubert said.
Trent Reznor, the only official member of Nine Inch Nails, seems to be the only artist around wondering why the price of CDs is so high. In Australia, his new album, Year Zero, is running for $29.10. "No wonder people steal music," Reznor questions. Nine Inch Nails also leaked several tracks of their album by leaving music-loaded USB keys in restrooms during tour. Of course the RIAA still sent cease-and-desist letters to blogs who had been posting MP3s, leaked by the band itself.
Nearly 1,000 copies of the Framingham State College student newspaper were stolen by students embarrassed by the journal's front-page photo of them as bare-bellied FSC lacrosse fans attending a recent home game.
A man cut off his own head with a chainsaw after stabbing his 70-year-old father to death in their apartment in the German city of Cologne, police said.
The body of the offender, 24, was found headless when police raced to the apartment after an emergency call, apparently from the dying father, had been broken off in mid-sentence.
Alf Willwacher, a senior prosecutor, said an electric chainsaw was next to the son's body.
"We do not believe any third party was involved,'' he said.
Neighbours said the father and son had been reclusive since the death of the mother, allegedly by suicide, several years ago.
I guess our family isn't that dysfunctional...
The death toll was 12.
"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died—an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser.
But a little-known fact about that 2005 blast offers a clue into the workings of the insurgents who recruit suicide bombers, and what, apart from religious propaganda, has motivated about 200 men to blow themselves up: In addition to being a deeply religious man, Mr. Samiullah was disabled.
His disability didn't come as a surprise. As the insurgency in Afghanistan gathers urgency, the Taliban and other forces are recruiting marginalized and vulnerable groups to carry out suicide attacks while men from their own ranks keep up the ground offensive.
The pool of the disenchanted and hopeless is large in Afghanistan -- people left on the fringes by their economic, physical or mental circumstances -- and there are few services to rehabilitate them after three decades of war.
"Almost 90 per cent of [suicide bombers] are people with some form of disability," forensic expert Yusuf Yadgari said.
