Cartograph: Our Journey In Wine
Great wine takes you places. It takes you to the region where the grapes grew, to the time and place where you first tasted that wine, and conjures memories of sharing wine with friends and family.
Cartograph is itself a destination, a road map and a journey. That journey is represented in the imagery that adorns the Cartograph label. Look closely and you'll see where we've been, where our paths have crossed and the circumstances of several careers and experiences that defined who we are, how we think, how a passion for great wine was instilled within us and, finally, how Cartograph was created.
When you enjoy a Cartograph wine, our journeys come together. Where were you when you had your first taste of Cartograph? Where were you when a glass of wine truly captured your attention? Where is your favorite wine from? Share your stories with us and join our growing community of wine lovers at Cartograph.

Becoming a Cartograph Circle member will give you exclusive access to our wines and the very tiny lots that are only released to the Circle members. To see all the benefits and start your Circle membership CLICK HERE.
Winemaker Tasting
Perli Vineyard Vertical 2009 - 2012
Sat. Dec. 6, 1 - 2pm
Ah, the Perli Vineyard, nestled above the fog line in the remote mountains of the Mendocino Ridge. We've been working with Steve Alden, the owner and grower of Perli Vineyard since 2009. This vineyard is truly stunning. Vineyards in this appellation are referred to as "islands in the sky" because of how the fog gathers and pools in the valleys beneath the vineyards. There are days where all you see are these ridge-top vineyards surrounded by pillowy white pools of fog.
Join winemaker, Alan Baker, in a tasting exploring the Perli Vineyard and tasting the 2009 - 2012 vintages.
Tickets are $30, $20 for Circle members. You can purchase tickets calling the tasting room at 707.433.8270 or emailing email@example.com. Seating is limited and as such, reservations are required. More information here.

like if you need money you have to work for it.

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return."
That is true ^_^ If a person wants to invent something he has to give a lot of hard work in order to achieve his/her goals. But the thing is that humans want more and more.
What is technology doing? All we are doing nowadays is breaking the ground wherever we go and use it for the "benefit" of others. Psshh.
"Nature has everything for a person's need but not for everybody's greed." --- Mahatma Gandhi.
Anyways it doesn't relate to things on a big scale but to small things, like if you want to pick up a glass of water you need to move your body to get it.
But people are starting to gain without giving something in return and therefore harming the society and the planet itself. Global warming, garbage problems, diseases like AIDS and so on. If it goes on there is sure to be a not-so-good future >_>
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return."
Indeed, this quote is very wise, but not necessarily true. As mentioned before by many AO'ers, sometimes, things do come accidentally, but aren't always permanent. In order to recieve, you must give. That's just the way it works.
I think it varies, most of the time it's true, sometimes it's not. I don't think I did anything wrong to deserve to have cancer. Sometimes circumstances happen that go beyond any kind of equivilant exchange. There are always exceptions to every rule.:cool3:
Originally Posted by Dragon Ball

for example humans use technology to benefit themselves in life like cars,computers,tvs, heat and other stuff. while we are gaining these things in life we are also payin a heavy price..... we are destroyin the earth by usin up its resources.
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return."
i think it depends because most things in life can't be taken without giving sacrifices of different types as a price yet on the other hand there's things that don't abide to this rule such as love as an example when a baby is born in a family the baby is looked after very well because of human instincts that stick the parents willingly to love their sons and to take care of them but when that baby grows up and become a man who repays his parents for their kindness towards him it's not their love that made him that way but the way they brought him up and built his characteristics personality whether he's living in a bad environment inside or outside his house or not
but if you do bad things good things don't always come back to you. Like what goes around comes around.Like if your disrespectfull to someone their gonna be disrespectful to you.
And vise versa

Aishwarya Rai might be one of the biggest names in the Indian movie world.
But Bollywood has many other gems, as proved by Kareena Kapoor.
The 31-year-old is such big news that together with her movie legend partner Saif Ali Khan, she is affectionately called Saifeena.
Her bombshell curves were on display in London at the premiere of her new film, Ra.One, which is touted to be the most expensive Bollywood movie ever made.
She wore a shimmering floor-length dress whilst greeting fans at the O2 Arena.

Ocean Roundup: Methane Seeping from U.S. Atlantic Seafloor, Iceland's Caught Scores of Endangered Fin Whales, and More
- According to a new report by the Assembly Select Committee on Sea Level Rise and the California Economy, California is "woefully unprepared" for sea level rise. The report projects that agriculture, tourism, and fishing industries will be most impacted by sea level rise. Think Progress
- Scientists have discovered 570 locations off the U.S. Atlantic Coast where methane is seeping from the seafloor—a discovery that surprised scientists because this normally only occurs in tectonically active areas. Scientists say this could affect localized acidity of ocean water or hint at larger gas deposits in the seafloor. The New York Times
- When a seven-year-old orca became trapped in a fisherman's nets last week off British Columbia, her pod stayed with her the entire time, even submerging themselves underwater alongside her. Fortunately, the whale was cut free and scientists say she looked healthy hours after her release. CBC News
- Iceland has caught 88 endangered fin whales since its whaling season began in mid-June. While that number is lower than its catch at this point last season, it violates the International Whaling Commission's moratorium on whaling. The Dodo
- Plastics have become such a staple in the modernized world that we often overlook just how much it surrounds us, but if you ventured to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch or other areas in the world's oceans where plastic accumulates, you would see that it now covers about 40 percent of the oceans' surface. The best method to reduce plastics, says the author, isn't in the clean-up, but instead is by reducing our plastic use. The New York Times

Can you image you sleep on the railway?Posted Aug 26, 2014
Near the railway, noisy and can't sleep well. The curtain is made by a layer of white paper...It can't block the light comes from outside in the night. Plus the noise of train, All these made me almost can't sleep all night. If you want to experience the feeling of sleeping beside the railway track, this should be a good place....No breakfast, No coffee. The only good thing is that this motel is only 50 miles away from the yellostone NP

Manager was extremely friendly ansd helpful. New sink was NOT usable. Clogged and would not drain at all. I brushed my teeth over bathtub! A used wash cloth was draped over shower head. Not a goo experience. No extra tolit tissue. Lots of trains in use during night.

Old hotelPosted Aug 11, 2014
Pros: Nice staff
Cons: Update the shower. Larger TV
Location: Montana's Rib and Chop House. Just go, eat there and be happy. Have the Ribeye and die happy!
The shower was an example of what happens with age and neglect. The shower head was clogged with hard water deposits giving not so much a shower as a power wash from the remaining unclogged holes in the head. However, the bed sheets were clean, the AC worked well and the staff was pleasant. I won't stay there again, but it did serve the purpose of a clean place to sleep and while not perfect, the shower did provide an opportunity to wash off the road dust. Not the end of the world. It's not the Hilton, but it was OK.

Sadly....overpriced!Posted Jul 15, 2014 on Hotels.com
The people were nice, but we were definitely overcharged. We paid $95.00 for 2 queens. While the rooms are actually tidy and clean, it is pretty run down. It's right across the street from a working train tracks and without the a/c unit running, it would have been way too loud. The TV was old and little. No breakfast for that price either. It wasn't a horrible stay, but I would suggest finding something else.

Better than expectedPosted Jun 23, 2014 on Hotels.com
Good customer service. Pretty sure they "close" at 10:00 but very courteous at 10:30 when we got there. Shower door replaced with curtain but did have issues with bathroom floor. Bed was hard but watched them replacing some of the beds so they are obviously making improvements.

More of a residential motel than a travelers inn.Posted Jun 22, 2014
Pros: Leaving.
Cons: Description of facilities online.
Location: Located in older part of town. Nothing nearby.
Adequate at best for a one-time stay. Not the best part of town, nothing except tea and coffee in the morning. Very thin walls. Small pillows. Bathroom clean. Not very good for a family stay.

Cheap but still not worth it.Posted Jun 16, 2014
Pros: Manager was very friendly & obliging.
Cons: Just about everything else.
This is an older motel that's fallen on hard times.The manager told us that new ownership has plans in the works for refurbishing soon - it could become a decent budget option, but don't book until then.

Nice owner, but property needs work.Posted Jun 8, 2014 on Hotels.com
The owner was pleasant, the sheets and towels were clean...clearly someone is trying their best....but....the hotel is in desperate need of work - A/C was useless, wallpaper was falling off of the walls, furnishings were falling apart. I wouldn't stay again.

Hockey Player Bankrupt After Parents Take Earnings
Just as soon as news broke that Ryan Howard's parents were in a legal fight asking for $10 Million, story broke on another professional athlete involved in a financial struggle with his parents. Just another reason to watch ESPN's 30 for 30 "Broke" and read our previoused blogged article on athlete's finances. ESPN's Katie Strong has the story along with Paula Lavigne and Scott Burnside.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and, according to a Columbus Dispatch report, claims that his parents are responsible for helping lead him "financially astray."
According to the Dispatch story, before Johnson signed his seven-year, $30.5 million deal in 2011, he granted power of attorney to his mother, Tina Johnson, that gave her full control of his finances.
Jack Johnson claims that Tina Johnson and his father Jack Sr. bought a house in Manhattan Beach, California, with his money but without the player's knowledge, according to the report. In addition, Johnson's parents borrowed $15 million against their son's future earnings. Many of the loans carried high interest rates, according to the Dispatch. The mortgage on the house carried a 12 percent rate, while a loan for $3 million was at 24 percent, leading to huge fees and, ultimately, default.
According to documents filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District Court of Ohio that were obtained by ESPN.com, the 27-year-old Johnson has little left of the almost $18 million he has earned throughout his nine-year NHL career. His future earnings also appear compromised because of a tremendous amount of debt incurred, with court documents showing a list of creditors with unsecured claims totaling more than $1.68 million.
In the filing, Johnson claims assets of less than $50,000.
The Dispatch reported, through a source, that Johnson has cut off all contact with his family.
"I'd say I picked the wrong people who led me down the wrong path," Johnson told The Dispatch last week. "I've got people in place who are going to fix everything now. It's something I should have done a long time ago."
Johnson, who is represented by Columbus-based attorney Marc Kessler, is reportedly now surrounded by financial advisers and a legal team retained to protect his interests. Johnson dropped former agent Pat Brisson in 2008.
According to the Dispatch story, Johnson's parents also spent money on cars, upgrades to the California home and travel costs while following their son as he played for the Los Angeles Kings and Blue Jackets.
According to one source familiar with the situation, there were warning signs early on during Johnson's professional career, but the scenario is not altogether uncommon with hockey parents who have invested a lot in their children's futures.
"It happens way more than it should," the source told ESPN.com.
The parents are named in the suit as among Johnson's creditors, but he is reportedly not interested in pursuing criminal charges against them. According to the Dispatch story, he is worried about the welfare of his 16-year-old brother, who lives with his parents in Michigan.
Johnson has petitioned to maintain his existing bank accounts so as to continue payment for living expenses, with court documents revealing that, at the date of petition, he carried a balance of $6,339 in his checking account and $2,202.62 in his savings account.
The former first-round pick, who has seven assists in 15 games this season, has three seasons remaining on the $30.5 million deal.

DEA Cracks Down on NFL
Much was made of the "Breaking Bad" like scene that developed at each road team in the NFL this weekend. Each locker room was raided by the FDE for illegal use of drugs after former players accessed medical staffs of improper use of pain medication. Jim Litke, an AP sports writer for Komo News has more details.
Federal drug enforcement agents showed up unannounced Sunday to check at least three visiting NFL teams' medical staffs as part of an investigation into former players' claims that teams mishandled prescription drugs.
There were no arrests, Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Rusty Payne said Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers' staff was checked at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, after they played the New York Giants. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' staff was checked at Baltimore-Washington International airport after playing the Redskins. The Seattle Seahawks, who played at Kansas City, confirmed via the team's Twitter account that they were spot-checked as well.
The operation was still ongoing, and other teams may be checked later Sunday, Payne said.
"DEA agents are currently interviewing NFL team doctors in several locations as part of an ongoing investigation into potential violations of the (Controlled Substances Act)," Payne said.
The spot checks were done by investigators from the federal DEA. They did not target specific teams, but were done to measure whether visiting NFL clubs were generally in compliance with federal law. Agents requested documentation from visiting teams' medical staffs for any controlled substances in their possession, and for proof that doctors could practice medicine in the home team's state.
"Our teams cooperated with the DEA today and we have no information to indicate that irregularities were found," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email.
The nationwide probe is being directed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York – where the NFL is headquartered – but involves several U.S. attorney's offices.
The investigation was sparked by a lawsuit filed in May on behalf of former NFL players going back to 1968. The number of plaintiffs has grown to more than 1,200, including dozens who played as recently as 2012. Any violations of federal drug laws from 2009 forward could also become the subject of a criminal investigation because they would not be subject to the five-year statute of limitations.
"This is an unprecedented raid on a professional sports league," said Steve Silverman, one of the attorneys for the former players. "I trust the evidence reviewed and validated leading up to this action was substantial and compelling."
Federal prosecutors have conducted interviews in at least three cities over the past three weeks, spending two days in Los Angeles in late October meeting with a half-dozen former players – including at least two who were named plaintiffs in the painkillers lawsuit, according to multiple people with direct knowledge of the meetings who spoke on the condition of anonymity because prosecutors told them not to comment on the meetings.
The lawsuit alleges the NFL and its teams, physicians and trainers acted without regard for players' health, withholding information about injuries while at the same time handing out prescription painkillers such as Vicodin and Percocet, and anti-inflammatories such as Toradol, to mask pain and minimize lost playing time. The players contend some teams filled out prescriptions in players' names without their knowledge or consent, then dispensed those drugs – according to one plaintiff's lawyer – "like candy at Halloween," along with combining them in "cocktails."
Several former players interviewed by The Associated Press described the line of teammates waiting to get injections on game day often spilling out from the training room. Others recounted flights home from games where trainers walked down the aisle and players held up a number of fingers to indicate how many pills they wanted.
The controlled substance act says only doctors and nurse practitioners can dispense prescription drugs, and only in states where they are licensed. The act also lays out stringent requirements for acquiring, labeling, storing and transporting drugs. Trainers who are not licensed would be in violation of the law simply by carrying a controlled substance.
The former players have reported a range of debilitating effects, from chronic muscle and bone ailments to permanent nerve and organ damage to addiction. They contend those health problems came from drug use, but many of the conditions haven't been definitively linked to painkillers.
The lawsuit is currently being heard in the northern district of California, where presiding judge William Alsup said he wants to hear the NFL Players Association's position on the case before deciding on the league's motion to dismiss. The NFL maintained that it's not responsible for the medical decisions of its 32 teams. League attorneys also argued the issue should be addressed by the union, which negotiated a collective bargaining agreement that covers player health.
The DEA investigation comes during a turbulent time for the NFL.
The league is still weathering criticism over its treatment of several players accused of domestic violence and just wrapped up an arbitration hearing involving Ravens running back Ray Rice, who is contesting the length of his suspension. The league has hired former FBI director Robert Mueller III to investigate its handling of the Rice case.
The NFL is also trying to finalize a $765 million class-action settlement reached in August 2013 over complaints by thousands of former players that the NFL concealed the risk of concussions.

NFL Futures Contract
I wanted to give people more insight into a fairly unknown concept in the NFL, Futures/Reserves contracts.
When a NFL player is signed to a "reserve/futures" contract, it means they are being signed for the upcoming season, even though that season does not officially begin until the official start of the league's new year as outlined by the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Only players who were not on any NFL team's active roster when the previous season ended are eligible for these types of contracts. If they were under contract, then they would remain so until the league's new year starts. Players who were on practice squads at the end of the season are eligible to sign with any team. Hence the reason that you see many practice squad players being signed by their current team for the upcoming year to a reserve/futures contract. That way the team can continue to work with a player they're familiar with and hopefully get them ready for an eventual roster spot on game day.

Percy Harvin Traded
Percy Harvin has been traded to the New York Jets for an undisclosed draft pick. Percy was finally health, but still lacked to contribute to the Seattle offense. The Seahawks acquired Harvin last off-season in a trade of a first round pick. He played in one regular season game and two postseason games on the way to Seattle winning it all. Now that Percy was heatlhy this season, there was optimism that he would be a huge offensive weapon for Darrel Bevell. He was obvious that play calls to get him the ball were forced and ineffective. seems like a bad investment now as the Hawks would be lucky to have received a third round pick in exchange.

Marshawn's Carries Dictate Seahawk's Success
It is a know fact the the Seahawks rely on Marshawn Lynch and his explosive running style. Beast Mode has been a huge factor in the Seahawk's success in his tenure in Seattle, including last season's Super Bowl Championship.
This is why it was so shocking to see Darrell Bevel, the offensive coordinator, call for just two carries in the first half by Lynch in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. While it is known that the Seahawk's feed the beast to victory, the statistics below are staggering;
Lynch's Carries Seahawk's Win/Loss Record
20 or More 18-4
16-20 14-8
10-15 5-6
Less than 10 1-6
Darrell Bevell said today in his press conference "we need to do a better job of getting Marshawn the ball". I think needless to say that is an understatement. While it is great to force feed the ball to now healthy weapon Percy Harvin, I believe it is obvious that the Seahawk's success on offense starts and ends with Beast Mode. His powerful runs in the first quarter set the tone for an entire game and open open the play action pass for Russell Wilson. Once the safeties start creeping up in the box it allows Harvin more room in the open field. Then Marshawn finishes off the game in the 4th quarter and grinding out the clock. Feed the Beast!

Century Link Still Loudest NFL Stadium
Kansas City may have broken the Guinness World Record for loudest stadium in the Monday Night mashing of the New England Patriots, however, everyone still knows that Century Link is still the loudest stadium…. in the world. This marks the 2nd time that Arrowhead has broken Seattle's record of decibels. Come January Arrowhead will be quiet again as the Chief's haven't won a playoff game in over 20 years, while the Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl Champions. Century Link will be shaking all season long and causing earthquakes when the playoffs roll around again. I can personally attest that the final drive of the 2014 NFC Championship Game was the loudest that any football stadium has been…ever. These rankings come from Katie Sharp of SB Nation.
Playing a road game in the NFL can be a daunting task. With only eight home games per season, NFL fans are among the most passionate in all of professional sports and make the stadium experience very uncomfortable for visiting teams.
The construction of the stadium and the intensity of the crowds creates a significant home field advantage in the NFL. Over the last five seasons, home teams have won 58 percent of games and last year three teams finished unbeaten at home (Patriots, Saints,Bengals). It's almost common law in the NFL that you have to take care of business at home, especially against divisional opponents, if you want to make the playoffs.
An amped-up crowd can create so many obstacles for a visiting team trying to relay audibles and snap counts at the line of scrimmage. We see it every week in the numerous false-start penalties and 12-men on-field infractions that teams are flagged for during games. While a loud crowd isn't solely responsible for these mistakes, the intensity and passion of the fans can definitely make a difference in how efficiently a visiting team can run its offense.
Here's a look at our top five loudest NFL stadiums:
1. CenturyLink Field, Seattle, WA
Seahawks fans have definitely earned themselves the nickname of "12th Man."
Last season the team set a Guinness World Record as the loudest outdoor sports stadium, with the crowd noise registering at 137.6 decibels during a win over the New Orleans Saints on Dec. 2. To put that number in perspective, a jet engine 100 feet away is about 140 decibels. The noise generated by the crowd was loud enough to trigger a minor earthquake in the region, per a local research group.
According to the team's website, the Seahawks lead the NFL in opponent false start penalties since 2005, and last year no team had a larger difference in opponent false start penalties generated at home (12) versus on the road (5).
While the team has overall been one of the most successful in the league since 2010, much of that is due to their significant homefield advantage. Over the last five seasons, the Seahawks have a 25-8 record at home in the regular season compared to just 14-19 on the road, the third-largest home/road differential in that span.
2. Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO
The record that the Seahawks broke last December was originally set by the Chiefs in a win over the Raiders two months earlier on Oct. 13, when the crowd noise was recorded at 137.5 decibels. Chiefs fans create a sea of red at Arrowhead, where the most popular chant is "we're going to beat the hell out of you, you, you."
Last season they had 13 opponent false start penalties at home, the second-most in the league, and have generated at least 10 of them in four of the last five seasons. The Chiefs won their first five home games last year in dominating fashion, winning by an average of nearly 10 points per game.
3. University of Phoenix Stadium, Phoenix, AZ
The Cardinals have not given their fans in Arizona much to cheer about with just three playoff appearances since the team moved west prior to the 1988 season. But that doesn't mean they aren't among the most passionate and loudest fans in the league.
Over the last five seasons, no team has a greater difference between its home and road record than the Cardinals, who are 21-12 at home and 9-24 on the road since 2010. The Cardinals fans have caused tons of problems for visiting teams, as they've ranked in the top-5 in opponent false start penalties at home in each season from 2010-13, including an NFL-best 18 in 2010.
4. Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA
The Superdome has long been considered one of the toughest places to play and one of the reasons is the deafening crowd noise that seems on the verge of blowing through the roof at any time.
One week after the Seahawks set the record for the noisiest outdoor stadium last December, the Saints tried to break the indoor record in their home game against thePanthers on Dec. 8. The effort fell just short, however, with the crowd noise registering 122.6 decibels, four shy of the record of 126 set at a Sacramento Kings basketball game Nov. 15, 2013.
The Saints may have started this season 0-2, but don't count them out of the playoffs yet, as both of those losses came on the road. The Saints have posted perfect home records in two of the last three seasons, and their home/road win percentage differential since 2010 is the fifth-largest in the league.
5. Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
How can you not include legendary Lambeau Field in a list of the loudest NFL stadiums? Packers fans are known as some of the rowdiest in all of pro sports, and their passion only increases when the temperature drops and the winds start sweeping through the stadium.
Over the last five seasons, only the Patriots have a better record at home than the Packers, who have also barely won half their road games in that span. The ear-splitting crowd noise was a key part of their Week 2 win against the Jets, as the Packers rallied from an early 18-point deficit thanks to a ill-timed timeout call by the visitors when the Jets were poised to take the lead in the final minutes.

Washington Redskins Trademark Controversy
Interesting new developments with the Washington Redskins trademark. This article is from Megan Finnerty of AZ Central and Erik Brady of USA Today.
The NFL's Washington Redskins are suing the men and women who brought the case that canceled the team's federal trademark registrations in June.
Amanda Blackhorse, who is Navajo, was the lead plaintiff in the suit and spoke today from her home in Kayenta on the Navajo Nation.
"We thought they'd file an appeal, but they decided to file a suit against us," said Blackhorse, a 32-year-old social worker, mother and activist.
"They filed an hour ago. They're filing this to overturn the decision of the (Trademark Trial and Appeal Board). This is not just going to an appeals court. This is a full-on trial. We'll have to have our witnesses ready."
"We were expecting this," she added. "When they won on appeal last time, in the Harjo case, they won on a legal technicality. And they're not going to have the chance with us."
"If people wouldn't dare call a Native American a 'redskin' because they know it is offensive, how can an NFL football team have this name," Blackhorse went on to say in a statement. "We know that time is on our side for a change in the team's name, and we are confident we will win once again at this stage of the litigation."
Blackhorse and her fellow plaintiffs will have some surprises ready for court, said Jesse Witten, an attorney representing the plaintiffs for Washington, D.C.-based Drinker Biddle & Reath.
"We have been thinking about this stage of the case. We are prepared. And we are prepared with some surprises," Witten said in a call to USA Today.
Team management believes the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ignored both federal case law and the weight of the evidence.
"We look forward to having a federal court review this obviously flawed decision," Robert Raskopf, the team's trademark attorney, said in a statement.
The team said in a statement that "the appeal is in the form of a complaint, effectively starting the litigation anew, this time in a federal court before a federal judge, and not in the administrative agency that issued the recent split decision."
In June, the U.S. Patent Office's trademark board revoked six federal trademark registrations owned by the team, ruling that "Redskins" was disparaging to "a substantial composite" of Native Americans when the marks were granted between 1967 and 1990.
The team filed the appeal in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and asks the court to look at constitutional issues.
"By canceling valuable, decades-old registrations, the Board improperly penalized the Washington Redskins based on the content of the team's speech in violation of the First Amendment," the statement said, adding that "the team has been unfairly deprived of its valuable and long-held intellectual property rights in violation of the Fifth Amendment."
In a statement, Blackhorse went on to say: "Open any dictionary you want – Random House, Merriam-Webster, American Heritage – and you will find a usage note explaining that the term is a disparaging way to refer to Native Americans.
"The National Congress of American Indians, countless Native American tribes and individual Native Americans, have protested. President Obama, other political leaders, media figures and Americans of all backgrounds, beliefs and ages, have also spoken out that it is time for the team name to change.
The Change the Mascot Campaign, led by the National Congress of American Indians and the Oneida Indian Nation, issued a statement as well:
"The National Football League claims it has a no-tolerance policy when it comes to racism, but by continuing to fight a court battle defending its promotion of a dictionary-defined racial slur, the league makes clear it is a proud purveyor of bigotry against Native Americans."
In 1999, the trademark board canceled the Washington team's trademark registrations in a previous case, Harjo et al v. Pro-Football Inc., brought by Suzan Shown Harjo and six petitioners. The team won on appeal in part because a district court ruled that the plaintiffs had waited too long to file their suit.
This case, Blackhorse v. Pro Football Inc., used younger petitioners.
The Washington team retains its federal trademark rights pending appeal.

"Umm...WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY DO THERE?" - The Phenomenon That is Fandom
Cosplay has become an international interest. Main media groups have picked up on the skill of costuming but we know where the roots of Cosplay has come from. It has come from the generations-old gathering of Conventioneering. From WorldCon to Farpoint, DragonCon to Shore Leave, conventions have always been the backbone to fandom. A place in various hotels around the world where people gather to show off their creative talents thru knowledge and skill of Sci-Fi and Animation.
Join NDB Media and MBL ENTERTAINMENT, LLC.'s Marc B. Lee as we talk to fans, actors, artists, vendor and organizers from NEW ZEALAND, UK, GERMANY, AUSTRALIA, USA and more about the phenomena the media needs to call it. To the rest of us, it has been a part of our lives for generations, only to have the mundanes trip over it as it passed by.
Join actors from Pan's Labryinth, Fantastic Four, Hell Boy, Falling Skies (Doug Jones), The Lord of The Rings, Spartacus, Narnia (Shane Rangi), THE HOBBIT (Jed Brophy), STAR TREK, STAR WARS and many others. We'll also have Oscar winner Doug Drexler, Emmy winner Ronald B. Moore and author Larry Nemecek.
WE are the folks that have given permission to the major media outlets to supply us with superheroes, fantasy and horror heroes on the screens. It was US who made them rich and its time to tell them EXACTLY WHAT WE DO THERE.

Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION
Provincial registry left mom in lurch
Found daycare space for daughter on Kijiji
AMBER Anderson had placed her daughter's name on the waiting list of 45 city daycare centres through the province's online registry, but as her maternity leave was coming to an end last year she still hadn't found a spot.
"That's when I was getting panicked," said the Island Lakes teacher, who had promised her school division she would return to work in April.
Anderson put the word out to parent groups and employed social media in a desperate bid to find child care. Finally, she found a spot for daughter Jocelyn, now two, by responding to an ad on Kijiji.
Anderson said Tuesday her experience leads her to question the value of the online registry. While the province claims it's helped more than 4,000 kids get placed in daycare, she said she knows of no parents who have used it successfully.
"As a new parent at the time when it came out, it seemed like this would be one-stop shopping," Anderson said. "And you were going to have plenty of options and I was going to have time to select carefully where I wanted my daughter to go. That is not what happened."
Anderson, who will give birth to a second child in the next two weeks, said she will keep Jocelyn in daycare while she's on maternity leave just to protect the spot.
The Selinger government announced the online registry in June 2011. The service cost $1.6 million to launch, and $150,000 was budgeted for annual operating costs.
Pat Wege, executive director of the Manitoba Child Care Association, said the problem is not so much with the online service, as it is the huge shortage of child-care spaces.
While the government has added thousands of new spaces in recent years, it's not been nearly enough to meet demand.
"It's hard for parents," she said.
Complicating matters is that when the online registry was created, it was logistically impossible to input all existing waiting lists kept on paper by individual daycare centres. Out of fairness to parents, many centres kept whittling away at the paper list first before accepting clients who had registered online. Some of these centres had 400 to 500 names on a waiting list.
As of the end of December, there were 9,759 children registered on the government site. Of those 5,884 needed a spot within three months. "Most of those kids are not going to get into the system," Wege said.
Progressive Conservative Family Services critic Leanne Rowat said it appears implementation of the online registry has created more confusion for parents than answers to their needs. "I feel extremely sorry for the families who have been led down a garden path," she said.
Family Services Minister Jennifer Howard said the government is on track this year to complete a commitment to fund 6,500 new child-care spaces within five years. It promised during the last provincial election to fund 2,000 more.
The online registry is working, having placed more than 4,000 kids, she said. Some 88 per cent of city daycares are using it, she added.
"It's like with any tool. It's not going to be perfect. It's not going to work for all families. And we can always do better," Howard said.
The minister said her department could perhaps be clearer on the website that it cannot guarantee when parents sign up they're "going to find a spot immediately or as soon as you would like."
Anderson said what she and other parents have found is it is far easier for child-care centres -- particularly smaller ones -- to bypass the registry in filling spots. They will accept new kids through word-of-mouth or through social media because they lack the personnel, especially during the day, to call parents on a waiting list.
Ironically, Anderson said, the woman operating the home-based licensed daycare who placed the ad on Kijiji was one of the operators she had selected through the provincial online registry.
"We were on her list from the provincial registry. I was third on her list and she had actually called the first two people and they had already found someone (a day care).
"But she found it was just easier to place an ad on Kijiji or use social media and have people contact her because she's just one person."
