Undoubtedly, there would be a bevy of beauties adorning the barstools this Friday evening at the Jack Black Memorial Officer’s Club.

Without question many of the single, and not so single, women in Southeastern Louisiana were aware of this fact and would be out in search of a pilot for a little rest and relaxation before the hectic pace of the holiday season took its annual toll. It wasn’t close to the spectacle that occurs each Wednesday evening at the Officer’s Club at Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego. It couldn’t even compare to Thursday nights at the Spin Drifter Tavern in Jacksonville. But for Belle Chasse, Louisiana, it was the only game in town on a Drill Weekend.

Poetry. Surrender the sweater vest, lose the loafers, pop the collar. These are not your grandfather's prose poems. Nor are they your father's. They belong to a new generation. A generation that values poetic craft, fresh language, and images that burn. These prose poems maintain a controlled, consistent voice, despite the many colorful subjects explored. Fairy tales go awry, pop culture is pimped out, lovers take leaps of faith that can only end in injury. Surreal worlds and crisp words create an artful violence that's vital like oxygen. The voice of these poems commands your attention. He walks up to you, looks you in the eye, and socks your gut and guts your socks. And you are winded, and you look at him, and he simply walks away. And you realize, you liked it. THESIS   The fragrance she wore reminded me of academia. I studied her scent as if majoring in my worst interests. Her core was as honest as ramen. She wrote comments on my eyelids in red ink. Ultimately I failed, but appreciated the feedback. Sometimes when I'm reading Cummings in the library, I drub my fingertips against my lips feeding myself the commas on the page while whispering my 9th grade locker combination. The cigarette burn on my shoulder still smolders with her initials. Her kisses tasted like Ph.D.'s. She left me DOA. 49-17-5.

The Smell of Kerosene: A Test Pilot's Odyssey - Peter W. Merlin|Donald L. Mallick|Mallick, Donald L.|Merlin, Peter W.THIS IS A BRAND

Michael’s poetry has been described as powerful, emotive and cinematic. His ability to create vivid imagery and move the reader with few words has won him accolades amongst his peers: “You paint a masterpiece with words, drawing pictures in the mind that take us to places yet unseen, though somehow known... incredible.” Dropped like snapshots along a twenty-year timeline, each poem a story; each poem a piece of a larger story. Kerosene & Fireflies is his first collection.

With their second album Cracker have lost the smarmy self-righteousness that plagued their otherwise fine debut, replacing it with a surprisingly solid, rocking core. Kerosene Hat is David Lowery's least affected album yet -- its humor is no stranger than Dead Flowers by the Stones or Fat Man in a Bathtub by Little Feat, two groups that Cracker strongly recall throughout the album. Kerosene Hat is more blues- and country-based than their debut, but it sounds natural, since their songwriting has improved and they've grown tighter as a unit. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

The Smell of Kerosene tells the dramatic story of a NASA research pilot who logged over 11,000 flight hours in more than 125 types of aircraft. Donald Mallick gives the reader fascinating first- hand descriptions of his early naval flight training, carrier operations, and his research flying career with NASA and its predecessor agency, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Mallick joined the NACA as a research pilot at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory at Hampton, Virginia, where he flew modified helicopters and jets, and witnessed the NACA's evolution into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. After transferring to the NASA Flight Research Center (now NASA Dryden Flight Research Center) at Edwards, California, he became involved with projects that further pushed the boundaries of aerospace technology. These included the giant delta-winged XB-70 supersonic research airplane, the wingless M2-F1 lifting body vehicle, and the triple-sonic YF-12 Blackbird. Mallick also test flew the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV) and helped develop techniques used in training astronauts to land on the Moon. This book puts the reader in the pilot's seat for a day at the office unlike any other. Donald L. Mallick joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics as a research pilot in 1957. He retired in 1987 as Deputy Chief of the Aircraft Operations Division at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. During his distinguished career, Mallick logged over 11,000 flight hours in more than 125 different types of aircraft. He is a Fellow of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots. Peter W. Merlin has worked as an archivist in the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center History Office since June 1997. He has published Mach 3+: NASA/USAF YF-12 Flight Research, 1969-1979 (NASA SP-2001-4525) as well as many articles on aerospace history.

Kerosene Cowboys is soon to be a major motion picture starring Cam Gigandet (Twilight), Shane West (ER; A Walk to Remember), Rachel Leigh Cook (She's All That), Bill Pullman (Independence Day), JC Chasez (*NSync) and directed by Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City)! Weekend warriors conjures up visions of citizen-soldiers who serve one weekend per month to maintain proficiency in their chosen military career path. But for America's Reserve Tactical Naval Aviators, that isn't really the way that it goes. Attack Squadron Two Zero Four (VA-204), an elite group of Navy Reserve pilots, streak through the nation's skies out of their home base in New Orleans, Louisiana. These cream-of-the-crop jet jocks fly approximately two hundred days each year to preserve and polish their aviation skills. Just before Christmas 1991, the secretary of the Navy activated this band of rough-and-tumble, arrogant aviators to join an active-duty carrier air wing for an around-the-world deployment onboard the USS Enterprise. Brad Teen Angel Ackerman and his band of rowdy squadron mates heat up their cockpits, barrooms, and bedrooms from coast to coast, establishing infamous reputations among their active-duty cohorts.

Whose war is it when they are shooting at you? Burkina Faso and Mali in the 1980s, two countries in an uneasy relationship marked by spasms of violence, are the backdrop for this tale of descent and, possibly, redemption. An American follows his Peace Corps girlfriend to West Africa but finds something wildly different from what he had expected, ending up staying for four years amid the chaos of a changing continent. Starting in the coastal nation of Togo before moving up into the Sahel and into the towns at the edge of the Sahara itself, this tale takes Paul Cassamude through loss and learning to the point of leaving, showing the dangers of expatriate life in third-world countries as well as possibilities found there for personal growth.

It's arguable that Miranda Lambert's debut album, Kerosene, is the first true Nashville product produced in the wake of Gretchen Wilson, crafted with an eye on the audience that Wilson's stylized redneck raunch won. Of course, with her golden blonde hair and good looks, Lambert seems like she would be crushed by the rampaging Gretchen, and there's a certain truth that Miranda is a bit fabricated and polished. After all, she started out as an actress, appearing in the long-shelved Piper Perabo teen comedy Slap Her She's French (finally released under the lamentably tame title She Will Have Way), and only got a foothold in the music industry by participating in USA's countrified American Idol knockoff, Nashville Star, where she placed in the top three. All this suggests that Lambert will be as slickly packaged as, say, a Southern Diana DeGarmo, but pop music works in mysterious ways: as it turns out, Lambert wrote all of the tunes on her debut, whereas the seemingly more genuine Wilson only wrote about half. That said, Kerosene lacks the gonzo humor that Big & Rich brought to Here for the Party, and Lambert's sweet girlish voice seems too tame for some of the livelier material. But that's not to say that those tunes don't work as well as the gentler pop tunes (the ballads tend to be a little treacly and nondescript), all of which are sturdily written, delivered with conviction, and given just enough gloss for an appealing sheen. Against all odds, this a rarity in modern mainstream country: a piece of product that's friendly, tuneful, sharper, and more genuine than it initially seems. Maybe Miranda needed a show like to Nashville Star to jump-start her career, but the show gave her the opportunity to make this thoroughly winning debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
