Greetings!
With Labor Day behind us and the kids back in school, it is becoming quite clear that the cool days of fall will soon be upon us, if they aren't already here. With fall comes what everyone loves - no, not candy from Halloween or mom's pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving - I'm talking about preparing for the 2011 SHOT SHOW. It's time to make sure our new products will be ready in time, that we have our press kits in the stages of development and our hotel and flight reservations booked. Have you begun your prep work for SHOT? If not, don't fear, there is still time and we here at LBM can help you. This isn't our first rodeo and we have years of experience in writing press releases, creating press kits, setting up conferences and writer meetings. If you'd like more info about how we can help you prepare for SHOT, contact us at info@lauraburgess.com.

It was a really tough choice in the end to come up with the three winners, but here's the breakdown:
Most Creative:

MrTLF1 - By far the funniest video, Tom had us cracking up with his UCGD - UnCool Glasses Disorder! Enjoy the glasses and good luck with your 3-Gun Matches and LE career!
UncleBen03 - Because everyone needs to get in on a good Meth Lab bust and not spend their time on duty air drumming, snoozing or checking the carpet integrity!

 My pal, Lisa Metheny, and I got up before dawn and headed out to Orange Beach last May to meet the Turtle Tsar, Mike Reynolds. We were in Alabama, courtesy of the Alabama Gulf Coast CVB, to fish and report about the current state of the Gulf and its waters. Reynolds pointed to a place in the sand, cordoned off and marked as a sea turtle nest. "There's 127 eggs in there." He said we were looking at the first nest of the season. Later in the season, he would know how many eggs were in each nest. From May through October, sea turtles come out of the water. You can tell it's a turtle in the sand, because its tracks look like a tractor wheel. Loggerhead turtles make most of the nests, but an occasional Kemps Ridley comes ashore to lay her eggs. When Metheny and I were there, the Gulf Coast braced itself for the eventual arrival of the oil spill. With predominantly easterly winds at that time, the nearest heavy oil lay 100 miles away.
