The Siberian Husky is one of the recognised sled dog breeds. The others are the Alaskan Malamute, the Canadian Eskimo Dog and the Samoyed. The Siberian Husky was the winter sled dog of the Chukchi people of Siberia. They were expected to travel fairly quickly for long distances pulling a moderate load in low temperatures, while not eating their masters out of house and home. They were welcome in the dwellings as playmates for the children and as hot water bottles at night. During the summer they ran loose, hunting and fending for themselves. This lifestyle, which continued unchanged for centuries, produced a breed of dog which retained the pack living and hunting attributes of the wolf, while being unaggressive and affectionate towards people.Read more

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- It took a couple of games, but Vinny Saponari has adjusted to the rhythm of professional hockey.
The 23-year-old right winger scored his first American Hockey League goal as the St. John's IceCaps edged the Portland Pirates 4-3 on Wednesday.
Saponari give the IceCaps a 2-0 lead at the 2:01 mark of the second period, scoring a tap-in off a rebound after Portland goaltender Chad Johnson slid across the crease to stop a one-timer that left him out of position.
"It took a nice little bounce, but I was able to put it in," said Saponari. "Once I saw it hit the back of the net I was pretty excited."
Carl Klingberg scored the winner early in the third period for St.John's (30-34-6). Kael Mouillierat and Jason Jaffray also scored, while Mark Dekanich made 28 saves for the win.
Saponari's played six games with the IceCaps since signing an amateur tryout contract after finishing his college season at Northeastern University.
"It's taken me a couple games to get used to the pace," Saponari said. "Guys are a lot stronger and a lot better."
The college forward's game has grown on St. John's coach Keith McCambridge.
"At first, there wasn't enough in (Saponari's) game that stood out consistently for me," said McCambridge. "(But), he's gotten better. He goes in and gets pucks back. And you can see he's really not afraid to take pucks into traffic (and) He forces turnovers."
Darian Dziurzynski, David Rundblad and Jordan Martinook replied for the Pirates (38-27-5). Johnson made 23 stops for Portland.
Klingberg added the winner for the IceCaps at the 1:57 mark of the third, rocketing a slap shot home from a rebound that found its way out to the right face-off dot.
With 2:38 left in the third, the Pirates moved within one of tying the game, when Rundblad hit a slap shot from the point.
IceCaps head coach Keith McCambridge liked the compete level of his team in the win.
"I thought we played a real smart game, more so tonight compared to yesterday's game," McCambridge said. "I thought everyone was sharp with regards to their game tonight. It feels good to get back-to-back wins."
St. John's went 2 for 4 on the power play and Portland was 1 for 5 on the night.

A talented cast, a zippy pace and a lighthearted comic tone can't outweigh the contrived situations and less-than-progressive outlook of this anachronistic little indie romance. Matthew Broderick and Annabella Sciorra are winsome and appealing as the romantic leads. Sam, a gourmand who can't seem to date anyone but women with serious food issues, and Ellen, a frustrated artist with a willfully suburbanite husband. The jokes about her conformist world and his colorful urban milieu are well-worn, but generally tolerable. There's not much fun to be had, however, wallowing in the loutish lifetyle of Kevin Anderson's stock-broker cad or Justine Bateman's controlling girlfriend. Christine Baranski and Doris Roberts, as usual, steal scenes in their small supporting parts. But Jeanne Tripplehorn can't salvage a thankless caricature of a role as Sam's manipulative performance-artist ex. It would be easy to pillory the film's generally regressive gender roles if they weren't so equal-opportunity; only Broderick's hapless, likable everyman escapes even relatively unscathed. The real problem, however, is the script itself, which spends so much time setting up its plot-heavy premise that it fails to tell us anything real about its characters. Capturing the style but not the substance of zany old '40s Hollywood comedies, The Night We Never Met emerges as less than the sum of its inspirations.

Not my First memory, but my Favorite from the early days of playing: I started playing on a friends account at the time so I didn't get to much time into this toon until I got my own account. I made a female Belf hunter cause at the time I played a wood elf hunterish toon in DnD. When i got her to lvl 10 I went out and did the taming quests and named my cat Lemmiwinks. my friends thought it was a horrible name for him, but I thought other wise so I ran with it. When I got my own account I made a male Belf hunter and again I named my new cat Lemmiwinks, and we went on a great adventure together of learning and growing in more ways than one might think. And I still have him to this day (I'm no longer a metro elf tho). Skarr has scene replaced him as my main cat pet, now that's a storie for the young hunters, 7 days of spawn camping for every hour possible.

'…but in this life
Of error, ignorance, and strife,
Where nothing is, but all things seem,
And we the shadows of the dream,
It is a modest creed, and yet
Pleasant if one considers it,
To own that death itself must be,
Like all the rest, a mockery.
That garden sweet, that lady fair,
And all sweet shapes and odours there,
In truth have never passed away:
'Tis we, 'tis ours, are changed; not they.
For love, and beauty, and delight,
There is no death nor change…'
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Publisher's Description
Author Peter Leavell forges an unprecedented tale of tragedy and triumph amid the backdrop of the Civil War through the story of Tad, a very clever slave boy who comes of age as Americas war reaches the sea islands of South Carolina. Tads desire to better himself is obstructed by the color of his skin, until Northern soldiers force the evacuation of white plantation owners, setting 10,000 slaves free in a single day. These circumstances seem like a dream, except that the newly freed slaves have no money, no education, and little hope for the futureunless someone rises up to lead them. Based on true events, Gideons Call is the dramatic tale of a young man who battles the shame of his past and faces the horrors of war and unimaginable prejudice to become the deliverer of thousands of freed slaves.
Author Bio
Peter Leavell graduated from Boise State with a degree in history in 2007. With his passion for historical fiction, nothing delights Leavell more than people turning the pages of a book, enraptured by the story. He is the winner of the Christian Writers Guilds best first novel 2012 for Gideons Call. He lives in Boise, Idaho.

Jill WilliamsonOregonAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5An entertaining read for pretty much anyoneJune 12, 2013Jill WilliamsonOregonAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Tad is a young slave boy who has just discovered just how different life is for him because of the color of his skin. Shortly after his first whipping, soldiers from the North descend on Fort Beauregard and destroy it. The southern plantation owners flee, leaving their slaves behind. Tad sets to work planting his field. He's going to need a corn harvest if they're all going to eat come winter. But when some men and women from the north show up to start a school, Tad starts to think he'd like to be a soldier and fight too.
This is a story that's based on true events. It also won the Jerry B. Jenkins Operation First Novel Contest. Well deserved, I'd say. The story sucked me in from the start, as Tad got into mischief following his friend into trouble. I couldn't put it down. I found it fascinating and very engaging. I thought this was a unique take on Civil War events. I'm a big fan of the movie Glory, and some of the real people from that movie also appear in this book. This is an entertaining read for pretty much anyone. Whether you like history or are learning about it at school, this is a great book. I highly enjoyed it.

KatyTennesseeGender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent First NovelJanuary 25, 2013KatyTennesseeGender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Gideon's Call is an exciting story of a young man, who will capture your heart and admiration. Tad's story is a testament of faith and indomitable spirit of one young slave boy growing into manhood during explosive change in the mid-1800's. Tad's faith in himself and his ability is only overshadowed by his faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior.
Gideon's Call is also the story of those who worked to help the newly freed slaves make a life for themselves--often at great personal sacrifice. The good that these people accomplished is contrasted with the heart-wrenching prejudice and cruelty of those without conscience.
The war scenes were vividly portrayed. I felt as if I were right there in the midst of the battles--though it was a bit difficult to keep up with all the major players.
I recommend this book to everyone, who is interested in the plight of the freedmen at the close of the Civil War. Gideon's Call is an excellent and interesting novel.

Gideon's Call struck that fine balance between drawing us into the personal drama of individuals, and painting for us the larger picture of what was at stake during this time period: freedom and bondage, life and death, love and duty. Having studied this piece of history myself (but clearly only a fraction of Leavell's investment into it!), I was delighted to see so many historical figures in the novel, not just making cameo appearances, but as robust characters. The author adeptly carried the reader from Boston to Washington to South Carolina, presenting the drama from varied perspectives. Some books entertain. Some books teach. Gideon's Call does both.

DIMARZIO DP138 Virtual Acoustic Pickup with Volume ControlThe DP138 Virtual Acoustic uses the same technology as the Virtual Vintage line to create a guitar pickup that's practically noise-free, even compared to humbuckers. The sound is both warm and open, reproducing the natural dynamics and tonality of steel-string guitars and enabling the Virtual Acoustic pickup to capture the character of the particular electric guitar it's mounted in. Like the Super Natural Plus, the DiMarzio Virtual Acoustic pickup installs easily with foam-insulated mounting brackets, which can be cut down in order to accommodate guitars with smaller soundholes. Twelve adjustable pole pieces allow precise string balance. It also has a volume control with a compensated tone network - to minimize tone changes when the volume is adjusted - and a 12-foot cable.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This is a nice sounding, easy to use pickup. It installs in a snap and stays in place. It has a good full sound that can be easily colored with your effects and eq. It's not too bright like many portable acoustic p/u's can be. I tried the single coil version of this model and it was really bright. Not really my kind of sound, but others may like it. The dual coil model is mellower and fuller. It resists feedback really well and the on board volume control is nice. It is accurate and easily gets a wide dynamic range without losing the subtle sounds you play. My complaint with either model is that they aren't that hot, they could really use a pre-amp, especially the single coil. I had to crank my levels to get a good small club volume. It stayed clean and feedback free tho- The cable might bug some players as there is no way to disconnect it from the p/u, so you either have to uninstall it or deal with a 12' cable hanging out of your sound hole all the time. No biggie to me but that may bother other players. They also recommend it be used with wound Bronze strings for best sound, so if you use something different you want to be aware of that. I use bronze strings so I can't comment on what it sounds like with other types.
These are mostly nitpicks tho- it's a good item.

Link: Aaron Swartz's "Crime" and the Business of Breaking the Law
…. In the past couple of months, there's been reporting on a pair of crimes in the business world so flagrant as to literally take the breath away. The first of these wasn't actually that widely reported on — in fact, I only know about it because a friend in the healthcare industry sent along an article on it. It's a long read, but it's worth taking the time to do so. It details how a medical device company decided to bypass FDA clinical trials and use bone cement in the spines of humans. Given that the cement wasn't properly tested, it should come as no big surprise that a number of people died as a result. In sentencing the executives responsible for what happened, the judge described how "what has occurred in this case, in terms of wrongfulness — it's 11 on a scale of 10." In fact, the judge, for "the first time in his 25-year career… sentenced someone above the federal guidelines."
That executive, for his role in what happened, received nine months in jail. (The federal guidelines actually suggested six months for this type of offence, which was not even a felony, but a misdemeanor). One of his fellow executives received a lesser sentence of five months.
And then there's a case that was much harder to miss: that of HSBC, and their foray into the world of money laundering for drug cartels:Despite the fact that HSBC admitted to laundering billions of dollars for Colombian and Mexican drug cartels (among others) and violating a host of important banking laws (from the Bank Secrecy Act to the Trading With the Enemy Act), Breuer and his Justice Department elected not to pursue criminal prosecutions of the bank, opting instead for a "record" financial settlement of $1.9 billion, which as one analyst noted is about five weeks of income for the bank.
Lay those two cases down beside that of a 26-year old kid who did the online equivalent of checking out too many books out of the library. For doing that, Aaron Swartz was initially charged with four felonies. The prosecutors in the Synthes case agreed to charge the executives only with one misdemeanor each. In the instance of HSBC, they used their discretion to avoid pursuing criminal charges altogether. In Swartz's case, the government decided to use that same discretion to bolster its initial four felony charges with a further nine — hence the possibility of over three decades of jail time and a $1M fine. Now, Aaron had only been charged — if justice had prevailed, it could have all been thrown out in court — but even in that circumstance, he would have still been roughly $1.5 million out of pocket just defending himself. Those HSBC executives never even got to that point.
I actually had the opportunity to talk with Aaron online a few weeks ago; partly as a result of an article that I wrote for HBR about corruption and its effect on innovation. Looking at the three cases above, I can't help but see similar symptoms seeping into the justice system. I simply don't know how else to explain the huge disparity in how justice was sought in these very different cases — other than regulatory capture. It seems you can get away with laundering money for the drug cartels, so long as you've been generous with the those responsible for appointing district attorneys; or better yet, if your industry has paid to undo all the regulation that prevents you from getting too big to fail. Similarly, when your lobby has been helping Congress draft the laws that govern food, drugs, and cosmetics, you can make sure that the federal sentencing guidelines are only six months should you breach the responsible corporate officer doctrine. This in turn means you can inject unsafe cement into people's spines with relative impunity (apparently, those in the healthcare industry were actually surprised when the officers were sentenced to jail, even if it was for only a few months. One of the convicted executives went so far as to ask the judge to delay the beginning of his sentence until after the holidays). But woe betide you if, in the name of openness and sharing human knowledge, you decide to download academic journals. Because that sounds a lot like piracy — and we all know how much has been spent to stamp that scourge out.

This is why the internet was made.
pass the blunt to your followers
»galgenkindes wiegenlied« by christian morgenstern (1905)
gallows child's lullaby
sleep, baby, sleep,
there's in the sky a sheep;
the sheep is made of cloud and dew
and fights life's battle just like you.
sleep, baby, sleep.
sleep, baby, sleep,
the sun eats up the sheep,
he laps it from the azure ground
with tongue extended like a hound.
sleep, baby, sleep.
sleep, baby, sleep.
now it is gone, the sheep.
the moon appears and starts to chide
her mate who runs, the sheep inside.
sleep, baby, sleep.

Once the lights dim in the main auditorium at Camelot Cinemas, eyes can't help but fixate on the glimmering digital images that flicker across the towering 60-foot screen. Nestled comfortably in reclining chairs, audience members dig into buckets of popcorn and gape at the latest blockbuster films while a THX-certified sound system croons a crystal-clear soundtrack. Theatergoers enjoy a similar experience in Camelot Cinemas' other auditoriums, where they can laugh through cheerful romantic comedies, find the courage to watch petrifying horror flicks, and fight back sobs during the heartwarming premovie message about turning off your cell phone.
The 2011 Blues, Brews, and BBQ Festival nourishes audience members with a red-hot menu of living legends. Unstoppable at the age of 85, B.B. King extracts heart-bending notes from his famous six-string, Lucille, with the buttery ease and soulful virtuosity of a master sculptor whittling a balsa-wood action figure. Sharing the stellar show bill of musical immortals, fellow blues master Buddy Guy defies the laws of dexterity with his legendary and highly influential ax skills. Mac Arnold & Plate Full O' Blues, Chris Watson Band, and other tunesmiths add their own aural ingredients to the melodious mix to help slather eardrums in raucous, 12-bar sauce. Lawn seaters are welcome to bring along lawn chairs and blankets to avoid having to sit on the grass like a common golf ball.
As they await the opening credits of The Goonies, The Birds, or perhaps the newest blockbuster release, moviegoers peruse a menu of hot wings, personalized pizzas, and oven-hot brownies topped with ice cream. Upon making a decision, the guest scrawls their chosen meal or snack onto an order card, and places that card in the designated spot on his or her table. A server stealthily delivers the requested soda, breadsticks, or honey chipotle wings while the film plays. Audience members can keep ordering food for the duration of the film, especially if an emotional scene demands an bowl of ice cream to catch stray tears. Just before the credits start to roll, the server silently deposits the check, and patrons digest as the tale winds to a close.
Cinebarre combines a slate of first-run movies with a courteous, alcohol-enhanced atmosphere and crave-worthy kitchen concoctions. The menu features items with movie-inspired names, allowing cinephiles to pick a dish that aligns with their preferred genre or favorite Bill Paxton performance. Take teeth to the made-from-scratch pizza playground with the Chicken Run, topped with grilled chicken, caramelized onions, cheese, and barbecue sauce ($13). The Blue Velvet Burger––ground in-house––piles a juicy half-pounder with blue cheese, buffalo hot sauce, burger toppings, and a kick of chipotle mayo ($10). Appetizers, such as Some Like It Hot Wings ($9) and Lord of the Onion Rings ($7), make arduous journeys to melt into a copious selection of wine and local craft beers, as well as mixed drinks, including the Lolita Margarita ($6).
For more than 60 years, the Cherokee Historical Association, a nonprofit cultural organization, has immersed visitors in live recreations of the history and daily life of the Cherokee people. Nestle into the 2,000-seat outdoor amphitheater for a presentation of Unto These Hills, an outdoor drama that's said to have been performed for more than six million visitors and 60 billion insects since its debut in 1950. The adventure begins with the Europeans' arrival in the New World and navigates audiences through the tapestry of time, ending with the Cherokees' tragic journey on the Trail of Tears.

text: While recent rumors have been circulating that Drake is working on executive producing an upcoming Aaliyah album, he posted a new song with Aaliyah on his blog yesterday and the song is titled "Enough Said". "Enough Said" has EVERYONE talking. The song is typical Drake in my opinion, slow and emotional with a quick verse where he throws shots at his "haters". His verse was decent though, I cannot lie. And it's cool though how he has Aaliyah on the song. We all know hoe Drake feels about Aaliyah. It's refreshing hearing her one of a kind vocals on a new song! I give this song a three out of five. Check it out and tell me what you think of "Enough Said".

I've decked out the Round Foundry Media Centre in Leeds city centre with 14 prints from the Granary Wharf and Water Lane area.
It is open Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 17:30 and you can just wander in and take a look.
A couple of mega big prints there too
Here's the website for the media centre
.....they are all for sale
cheers guys
anyone going to get chance to see it?
shame it's not open on weekends - but the main thing for me is that it's a busy new media centre with lots of business people passing through every day...
I'll grab some photos one evening and upload them in this forum
me too - shojuld cover a 5D2 and 17mm TS if they do
....does that mean it's good les?
hope so, I really like the idea, just never used one before
well if everyone goes to buy a few of my prints, I'll get one
Just been to see the exhibition Ade. Brilliant prints. I really like the mono's. Hope you get some good exposure and sales from it. For any one who's thinking of going, the place only seems to be open on weekdays, but worth the effort. There's nice pint to be had nearby at the Mdnight Bell. The beer of the same name is gorgeous.
My only disapointment was that all of your Leeds pics weren't on display, for my money your images of Leeds are the best I've seen.
Good luck with it Ade.
Cheers Dav
I'll be putting more Leeds shots up in the next exhibition at the blind and deaf cetnre - that'll have the Town Hall, Clarence Dock, Museum, Market, Corn Exchange and all the other classic locations.... but done in my non-traditional-architectural style.
The monos just had to go on that orange background, and I forked out more for the mounts too - got them double mounted for more effect
Hope you're keeping well - we're well overdue a shoot, just PM me when you're free, we can have a wander.
ps... midnight bell is a fantastic ale

Crystal Jade
154 Little Bourke Street
Melbourne CBD
You don't need to drive out to the suburbs. Crystal Jade and Shark Fin's Inn are more than capable of holding their own.
The XLBs were disappointing, lacking the hot fragrant broth.
Prawn wrapped in crispy beancurd skin. My sinful indulgence.
Traditionally filled with pork mince, I had a delicious variation at Taipan last weekend which was filled with prawn and scallop.
Silky smooth. And so are their egg tarts.

Chevrolet Android App
Send Turn-By-Turn Directions to your Volt
OnStar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors, have announced they are developing a number of new features for the Chevrolet Volt mobile app based on Google's Android platform.
This new functionality, includes a navigation tab that will display the current location of the smartphone owner's Volt on Google Maps, and the owner's location relative to the vehicle. Integration with Google search by voice means that users will be able to vocally search for a destination on the Android smartphone, and again see that location displayed relative to the Volt's current location. This information can then be sent to the Volt in question, so OnStar Turn-By-Turn directions will be already loaded when the owner starts their OnStar vehicle. These directions will also be available in voice-guided format.
This functionality is currently planned for the app's 2.0 release.
Earlier this month, Motor Trend published an article claiming that General Motors were planning to develop Android technology that would allow General Motor vehicle owners to open, start and/or adjust their vehicles using their Android handset. While this new functionality isn't quite an Android-powered car, it does demonstrate the next step in the General Motors/Android story.

Trap Music at Its Best; the Groove and Snare-Layering Techniques Makes Beat Sore
|By AMIR SAID (SA'ID)
There's nothing like the real article. And as far as "trap" music goes, DJ Toomp is this popular Southern sound's chief pioneer. Here on "U Don't Know Me" (Urban Legand, 2004), DJ Toomp personifies the trap music sound: a bottom heavy core groove, mid range synth accents and embellishments, and of course, the 808 syncopated snare and hi-hat.
Unlike the most recent renditions of the trap sound, on "U Don't Know Me," DJ Toomp separates himself from the pack by not opting for an extreme minimalist approach. Although the core groove is solid and hypnotic, it's the accents, embellishments, and masterful layering that Toomp works in that gives the entire track a broad, orchestral-like composite.
While the 3-note bass line and full-bounce kick are anchoring the groove, Toomp drops in a futuristic, 1-note synth stab on "the one" of every measure. Then on every fourth bar, he works in a 3-note synth-stab. And to make the ends of the fourth and eighth bars flourish and turnover (loop) more emphatically, he breaks up this 3-note synth-stab and uses each note to play a quick descending pattern, where the last note slides in, right before the first kick lands.
Finally, in a moment of sonic defiance, Toomp ignores the harmony and melody that he's developed (perhaps going against a less-skilled beatmaker's intuition), and layers in this eerie, iron-sustained synth-stab, right over the top of a clap, which is itself layered over the top of another snare. The result is a tri-layered snare that sounds like a crowbar striking up against an underground subway pipe. But Toomp doesn't stop there with his layering work. He dulls the front-end attack of the "actual" snare and the iron-synth sound-stab, while he prolongs the back-end sustain of the "iron layer." And in the mix of the song, he opts to sometimes drop the iron layer altogether, leaving the clap to fend for itself.
Taken together—the choice of the combination of sounds, the layering, and the attack and sustain effects—this snare amalgamation comes off more like it's guarding the hardness of the beat than it is helping to keep time.

Each week, we bring you a Q&A with a Ravens player, coach or team executive to help you learn a little more about the team. Today's guest is cornerback Lardarius Webb.
What does it mean to you to represent Division I-AA Nicholls State as a starting cornerback in the NFL?
It's not just pride, it's privilege to be here. And in my heart, I've always wanted to be the best. So I'm always trying to show my best, and that's on kickoff returns, punt returns or corner or nickel back. I just want to be the best. So coming from a small school, I've always had a little chip on my shoulder.
When the Ravens used a third-round pick on you in 2009, did you feel pressure to represent smaller schools?
No. When I got drafted by the Ravens, the only thing I was thinking about was, 'Man, I get to play with Ed Reed.' I always wanted to be like him. So to actually walk into the same defensive meeting room, I was like, 'Oh, man, I get to be in there. I get to see Ed.'"
How gratifying is it to overcome doubts about your talent and the torn anterior cruciate ligament in your right knee toward the end of your rookie year and be a starter for the Ravens?
I'm still on that same journey. I just want to make the non-believers believe. For me, I'm just always trying to be the best. You always have doubters. But me, I don't listen to the doubters. I'm not even trying to prove a point to anybody. I just go out and be me, and my game will prove itself.
How do you not pay attention to what critics have to say and write?
It's hard. It's hard not to listen to anybody else. That's why I had to cut down on my Twitter, because I've learned that on good days, yeah, they're going to love you. Bad days, then they hate you, and they can say some horrible things. If you don't have the heart and mindset to ignore what they say, then you've got to be able to take it. That's why I don't like the social network. I'll do it just because you have to do it and you want to connect with people. I like connecting with my fans, but I don't like when other people get on your nerves. And young players are not used to it.
Is that why you've been using Twitter lately just to announce charity events and community projects you're involved in?
Yeah, that's what I do now. I used to go on there and play around, but now it's just for charities, sponsors, that's it.
What does it mean to you to be tied with Ray Lewis for the team lead in tackles?
I don't like it. I wish I could lead the team in PBUs [pass break-ups] or interceptions. But all these tackles tell me that I'm working my butt off running to the ball. But I'd rather change that.
Who's the toughest wide receiver you've covered?
Anquan Boldin is the toughest.
What's the best interception you've made?
I've only had two. [It's now three after picking off St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford on Sunday.] I would say my first one. It was against the Dolphins [on Nov. 7, 2010] and Chad Henne.
Have you had a welcome-to-the-NFL moment?
Not yet. My teammates pick on me all the time. I'm surprised I'm not getting picked on right now. I'm not even a rookie, but they still mess with me like I'm one. It's all in good fun, though.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon says at least 80,000 people in Louisiana won't be able to keep their current insurance coverage because of the federal health overhaul.
Donelon said Monday that he asked insurance companies doing business in Louisiana for a tally of how many customers had existing plans that can't continue under President Barack Obama's health care law. He says at least 80,000 people will lose their current coverage.
A few insurers haven't yet sent back a response, so Donelon says he expects the final figure to be about 90,000 people whose coverage is being canceled because the policies don't meet federal requirements.
Donelon says most of the policies are for people who pay for their own insurance, rather than getting it through their workplace or some other group.

I am a Christian, but I think preachers who do nothing but beg for money on television do not honor God, either. But I'm not trying to make it illegal.

While you're out and about Christmas shopping and in the giving spirit, you can stop by the Con-way Freight food drive.
This is their second year organizing a food drive to benefit the Abused Adult Resource Center.
Diane Zainhofsky, Executive Director of the AARC says the holidays are the times when they can really use the extra help.
"The concept of people in the community wanting to help the women and children in the shelter is what's really important this morning, you know, and for people to know that during the holidays, people are always on a pretty tight budget including non-profit organizations because we are giving," says Diane Zainhofsky, Executive Director, AARC.
Items needed are toiletries, paper goods, and non-perishable items.
Last year more than 700 pounds of items were collected.
"AARC was one of the charities that we picked. There are a couple of us that feel pretty strongly about the good work that they do in town here. We wanted to make sure that we, I guess, kind of give back and give to a worthy cause like that," says Matthew Rydberg, Service Center Manager.
If you would like to make a donation, you can drop your items off at Cashwise foods.
Donations will be accepted through November 20th.

Because of their beauty, abundance and inherent interest, the ferns of this region occupy an important place in its botany. They lend an effect of almost tropical luxuriance, in places, to the forests of the lower Canadian zone where they are found in greatest abundance. However, they are, by no means, limited to this habitat. Some species may be found growing in the meager soils in or about talus slopes of the Hudsonian zone. Some anchor themselves in small niches in moist, moss-covered rocks at various altitudes, while others clothe the soils of open, sunny places - as in the case of the bracken which quickly attempts to rehabilitate burned areas in the forests of the northwest.
Nor is the interest in our ferns limited to the summer season. Certain species are evergreen and may be noted throughout the year. The most common of these evergreen ferns, which are native to Mount Rainier National Park, are the Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum) and the Deer Fern (Struthiopteris spicant) which are indigneous to the lower wooded Canadian zone forests.
Place of ferns in the organization of the plant kingdom.
In the systematic organization of the plant kingdom the various individuals that compose this broad, complex and important group are segregated with regard to certain basic characters and grouped into four main divisions.
I-Thallophytes: This group is composed of plants that have, in general, no well defined organs simulating roots, stem or leaves and which do not possess vascular tissue. In this group we find the most lowly of our plants, but it also exhibits great diversity of form, in the species which it contains, as can readily be noted from the fact that in the thallophytes we find the bacteria, algae, slime molds, diatoms, fungi and lichens.
II-Bryophytes: The mosses and liverworts compose this group. They are small, green plants of simple structures and while they may be differentiated into organs resembling roots, stem or leaves, true roots and vascular tissue are absent.
III-Pteridophytes: This group includes the ferns and fern allies. Here, too, we find a wide variety of form that is often confusing to the novice. Yet, while many of the plants contained do not outwardly appear to resemble ferns, as we generally understand that term, they all possess well defined characters by which they are grouped in this division. The Pteridophytes may be broadly classified as spore bearing plants which possess vascular tissue in leaves and stem and which are possessed of true root structures. It is with this division that this particular issue of Mount Rainier National Park "Nature Notes" deals.
IV-Spermatophytes: This group includes all the seed bearing plants. It is the highest of the four plant divisions and is the one that is, generally, best known and appreciated.
Thus briefly outlining the general characteristics of the four main divisions of the plant kingdom we indicate the relative position of the ferns with other common plants with which most people are familiar.
Number and diversity of ferns.
There are more than six thousand known species of ferns scattered throughout various parts of the world. They vary in size from hair-like, creeping stems bearing a few simple moss-like leaves to tall tree-like growths in the case of the tree ferns that are possessed of an erect single stem. Often this stem will be a foot or more in diameter and many feet in height, the foliage of the plant being borne in a whorl-like cluster at the top. At one time, before the seed bearing plants were evolved, ferns in all their variety of form were the dominant plant life. It is from them, laid down in the carboniferous period, that our present coal beds are derived. The average person can barely conceive of that remote era in the earth's past when vast forests of giant tree ferns grew in tangled abundance in the soggy, shaded marshes bordering the nucleii of present land areas as these rose slowly from the sea. However our coal fields are reminders of that time when ferns were the dominant plant life on the earth.
Thirty-three ferns and fern allies are listed as native to Mount Rainier National Park (see page 8). This group is characteristic of the diversity in form and appearance of the Pteridophytes, for therein we find not only plants of typical fern structure such as the bracken, sword fern and deer fern, but also others of radically different appearance - such as the Club Moss (Lycopodium), horsetails (Equisetum), Grape Fern (Botrichium) and Quilworts (Isoetes). These, while differing in outward appearance from those plants commonly regarded as ferns, nevertheless have the same basic characters by which they are united in a common division of the plant kingdom.
The growth and development of a fern.
Ferns, of course, are not flowering plants. Instead of possessing seeds, they reproduce by means of spores which, instead of developing directly into the fern plant that we see, produces an intermediate growth known as the prothallus (see page 4) That term was coined from the two Greek words which mean "before the shoot". Upon the underside of this prothallus are the sex organs. It is from this intermediate growth or prothallus, after the fertilization and development of the egg has taken place, that the fern that we see along the trail develops. This process is known as the alternation of generations and, as it requires the development of two distinctly different plants, it furnishes one of the most interesting features of fern study. Briefly the development of a fern may be traced in the following manner -
1. The ordinary fern plant (known as the sporophyte) serves merely to bear numerous spores which make their appearance in the early summer on the underside of the fronds and enclosed in light yellow or brown spores cases. If you will look at the underside of the fronds at the proper season you will notice these numerous brown "dots". Each one of these is composed of a considerable number of sporangia and the "dot" itself is known as a sorus.
2. Upon maturity the spore is discharged and, if favorable conditions are found, it develops into the sexual stage of the plant (the gametophyte) which we have previously termed the prothallus. This is a very small, obscure, thin, green heart-shaped plant, upon the underside of which are the sex organs (antheridia, the male and archegonia, the female) which correspond, in general function, to the stamens and pistil of the flowering plant.
3. Fertilization of the archegonia follows; the egg develops and the fern plant begins to grow. About seven years are required for a fern to develop from the spore to the stage when it is also a mature spore bearing organ.
In some cases ferns may propogate vegetatively - that is, by runners. Also, in a few cases the tips of the leaves may bend over to the earth and take root. There are no species of the latter type native to Mount Rainier National Park, however.
Fern fancies.
The early history of mankind and his attempt to fathom the apparent mysteries of plant life are replete with fanciful legends and tales that try to explain the development of plants with which he came in daily contact. Ferns were no exception to this rule. Before the compound microscope came into use, and thus before the steps by which the fern developed were understood by science, many theories that attempted to explain the origin of ferns were put forth. Students were aware that ferns bore no seeds - yet ferns continued to grow and develop. During the middle ages, ferns were supposed to have an invisible seed since it was thought necessary for all plants to have seed in order to grow, develop and reproduce. It is reputed that this invisible seed was greatly sought after by those who wished to make themselves invisible. This sort of tale was typical of the misunderstandings that existed in those times and which modern science and careful research has dissipated.
Ferns used for medicinal purposes.
Because of the magical powers that were attributed to ferns they naturally came into early use in medicine. Even as early as Nero's time, the bracken and several other species were used in the preparation of prescriptions for various ills. As time went on many ferns were gradually proven to be of little or no medicinal value. An exception is found in the Male fern which is sometimes used as a vermifuge (to expell worms from the body). It is interesting to note that it was used thus over 2000 years ago.
Thus ferns have captured the interest and fancy of the world for centuries. We known considerably more about them today and the knowledge that we have gained has made them of even greater interest to the student and the lover of the outdoors.

This is a MUST HAVE.
One new chart, map or infographic per working day
at Graphic Detail at the Economist.
See this absolutely outstanding blog
at Graphic detail - The Economist.
Below are three examples:
Information technology, intellectual property law (patents, trademarks and copyrights), U.S. Constitutional Law, European Union law, world law
"The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office."There is an implicit understanding here that the Supreme Court of the United States -- and inferior courts to it IN THE SAME judicial system, of course -- constitute the American Judiciary, and NOTHING ELSE. Any rational reading of that clause EXCLUDES any inferior courts being created within the auspices of either the legislative or executive branch, since that would contravene not only the above provision but would be contrary to the separation of powers doctrine which serves as the foundation of the U.S. Constitution.
"Supreme Court rulings limiting the power of Article I and Article IV tribunalsThe initial error was of course thus made by Justice Marshall in "Canter" [American Ins. Co. v. 356 Bales of Cotton, 1 Pet. 511 (1828)] where he used the trick of artificially drawing a distinction between Article III courts and other "purported" courts, whereas of course, he should have stated that there CAN ONLY BE Article III courts and no others. Ever since then, as a result, the "fiction" created by Marshall has been serving to help undermine the separation of powers, and has led to an administrative law system that is encroaching the "real" and legitimate Article III judicial system at all levels.
The concept of a legislative court was first defined by Chief Justice John Marshall in the case of American Ins. Co. v. 356 Bales of Cotton, 1 Pet. 511 (1828), which is sometimes referred to as Canter, after a claimant in the case. In this case, a court in what was then the Territory of Florida had made a ruling on the disposition of some bales of cotton that had been recovered from a sunken ship. This clearly fell into the realm of admiralty law, which is part of the federal judicial power according to Article III of the Constitution. Yet the judges of the Florida territorial court had four-year terms, not the lifetime appointments required by Article III of the Constitution. Marshall's solution was to declare that territorial courts were established under Article I of the constitution. As such, they could not exercise the federal judicial power, and therefore the law that placed admiralty cases in their jurisdiction was unconstitutional.
Tenure that is guaranteed by the Constitution is a badge of a judge of an Article III court. The argument that mere statutory tenure is sufficient for judges of Article III courts was authoritatively answered in Ex parte Bakelite Corp.:[5]
... the argument is fallacious. It mistakenly assumes that whether a court is of one class or the other depends on the intention of Congress, whereas the true test lies in the power under which the court was created and in the jurisdiction conferred. Nor has there been any settled practice on the part of Congress which gives special significance to the absence or presence of a provision respecting the tenure of judges. This may be illustrated by two citations. The same Congress that created the Court of Customs Appeals made provision for five additional circuit judges and declared that they should [370 U.S. 530, 597] hold their offices during good behavior; and yet the status of the judges was the same as it would have been had that declaration been omitted. In creating courts for some of the Territories Congress failed to include a provision fixing the tenure of the judges; but the courts became legislative courts just as if such a provision had been included.In Glidden Co. v. Zdanok, the court made the following statement regarding courts in unincorporated territories:
Upon like considerations, Article III has been viewed as inapplicable to courts created in unincorporated territories outside the mainland, Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244, 266-267; Balzac v. Porto Rico, 258 U.S. 298, 312-313; cf. Dorr v. United States, 195 U.S. 138, 145, 149, and to the consular courts established by concessions from foreign countries, In re Ross, 140 U.S. 453, 464-465, 480.Ever since Canter, the federal courts have been wrestling with the division between legislative and judicial courts. The Supreme Court most thoroughly delineated the permissible scope of Article I tribunals in Northern Pipeline Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50 (1982), striking down the statute that created the original U.S. bankruptcy court. The Court noted in that opinion that the framers of the Constitution had developed a scheme of separation of powers which clearly required that the judiciary be kept independent of the other two branches via the mechanism of lifetime appointments. However, the Court noted three situations (based on historical understanding) in which Congress could give judicial power to non-Article III courts:
The Court also found that Congress has the power under Article I to create adjunct tribunals, so long as the "essential attributes of judicial power" stay in Article III courts. This power derives from two sources. First, when Congress creates rights, it can require those asserting such rights to go through an Article I tribunal. Second, Congress can create non-Article III tribunals to help Article III courts deal with their workload, but only if the Article I tribunals are under the control of the Article III courts. The bankruptcy courts, as well as the tribunals of magistrate judges who decide some issues in the district courts, fall within this category of "adjunct" tribunals. All actions heard in an Article I tribunal are subject to de novo review in the supervising Article III court, which retains the exclusive power to make and enforce final judgments.
- Courts for non-state areas (U.S. territories and the District of Columbia) in which Congress is acting as both local and national government.
- Military courts (or courts-martial), under the historical understanding and clearly laid out exceptions in the Constitution.
- Legislative courts established under the premise that, where Congress could have simply given the Executive Branch the power to make a decision, it has the lesser power to create a tribunal to make that decision. This power is limited to adjudication of public rights, such as the settling of disputes between the citizens and the government.
Pursuant to Congress' authority under Article IV, §3, of the Constitution to "make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States;" Congress may create territorial courts and vest them with subject-matter jurisdiction over causes arising under both federal law and local law. But "the Supreme Court long ago determined that in the 'unincorporated' territories, such as American Samoa, the guarantees of the Constitution apply only insofar as its 'fundamental limitations in favor of personal rights' express 'principles which are the basis of all free government which cannot be with impunity transcended.'"[6]
The Supreme Court noted in Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Schor, 478 U.S. 833 (1986), that parties to litigation may voluntarily waive their right to an Article III tribunal and thereby submit themselves to a binding judgment from an Article I tribunal.
The U.S. Supreme Court in the course of the opinion from Rassmussen v. United States (197 U.S. 596, 524) declared (p. 352, L. ed. p. 186, Sup. Ct. Rep. p. 1119):
Article IV judges do not have the authority to decide petitioners' appeals or be appointed to a United States Court of Appeals.[7] In Nguyen v. United States (2003), the Supreme Court ruled that a panel of the Court of Appeals consisting of two Article III judges and one Article IV judge did not have the authority to decide petitioners' appeals."
- 'Alaska is one of the territories of the United States. It was so designated in that order [referring to the order of this court assigning to the ninth circuit], and has always been so regarded. And the court established by the act of 1884 is the court of last resort within the limits of that territory. It is, therefore, in every substantial sense, the supreme court of that territory.'

SPOKANE – The Spokane Shock have been assigned two quarterbacks in Dennis Havrilla and Donovan Porterie. In addition, Erik Meyer has been placed on injured reserve.
Meyer was knocked out of Sunday's game against the L.A. Kiss with what Spokane head coach called a 'shoulder injury' Wednesday.
Olson spent a portion of Wednesday's practice working with Havrilla and Porterie, as well as former Eastern Washington University quarterback Kyle Padron.
Havrilla (6-1, 195), a product of Western New Mexico, was most recently with the Dodge City Law of the CPIFL and has also spent time with the Arizona Adrenaline and Bricktown Brawlers of the IFL. In 2009 while with the WNM Mustangs Havrilla threw for 1,581 yards and 13 touchdowns in nine games. Also a threat on the ground, he rushed 88 times for 433 yards (3.2 average) and scored six touchdowns. While at Western New Mexico, Havrilla shared the field with wide receiver Rod Windsor of the Arizona Rattlers.
Porterie (6-4, 220), who played his college ball at New Mexico, most recently played for the Green Bay Blizzard of the IFL. In four years with the Lobos, Porterie completed 614 of 1,058 pass attempts (58 percent) for 6,756 yards and 33 touchdowns. In 2012 with the Blizzard he threw for 1,990 yards and 44 touchdowns and led an offense that finished third in the IFL in points scored (56.2).
"I like that they both have indoor experience and they both have played in the IFL," Shock Head Coach Andy Olson said. "Dennis did some good things while in camp with us, so I was able to see his development over a couple of weeks. Porterie was in camp with the Pittsburgh Power, so he has had the same experience."
