Cat's Claw (Calliope Reaper-Jones Series #2)by Amber Benson

Calliope thought everything was squared away after rescuing her father and restoring the balance in the Afterlife. However, she still owes Cerberus a debt for borrowing his daughter and finds herself on a wild goose chase for an Egyptian architect who has somehow escaped death. Calliope discovers that she has bitten off more than she can chew and encounters unexpected enemies along the way. cat's claw is actually my favorite of the series thus far. I loved the story arc with Cerberus wanting to collect on Calliope's debt and trick her into replacing him as the guardian of the North Gate of Hell. I think death's daughter set the stage, but Book 2 really takes the story to the next level and flows quite nicely. Familiar and new characters to enjoy, the world Amber Benson has created is steeped with mythology and good humor.
Calliope blusters and BSs her way through this adventure - every bit as entertaining as the first book. Excellent character growth showing up here, the book is a pretty fast read, well paced action. Definitely worth a read.
When I read Amber Benson's first book Death's Daughter it was a fun and interesting twist on the concept of the Afterlife. This second book in the series is just as fun. A quick read with light humor and no heavy plot points to drag it down. I recommend it to anyone who likes quirky and fun fantasy.
I loved both Death's Daughter and Cat's Claw by Amber Benson. She has created a very engaging and very human protagonist whom she has thrust into a detailed and well thought out fantasy adventure series. I eagerly look forward to reading the next book when it comes out on e-books so I can read on my Nook (as I have foresworn buying anymore paper books to clutter up my limited shelf-space).
Cat's Claw is one of my new favorite series! It is humorous with just a hint of romance. So it's not too mushy but makes you chuckle out loud. The characters are put in some very unusual and unique situations. I couldn't put it down and can't wait for the next book. It was also a pleasant surprise to find out that the author was in one of my favorite TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So if you liked Buffy you just might enjoy this book.
First Calliope Reaper-Jones book I have read. Will have to fill out the series. Delightfully entertaining.
This is the second book in the series and can fit in the urban fantasy, paranormal mystery, and chick lit categories. I do like this series. It's a pleasant and fast reading experience. It does have a strange characteristic that it shares with the Weather Warden series by Rachel Caine: I have a difficult time remembering details and particulars about the stories even it it's just a few days later. Either way, I'd recommend that people read the books. I certainly will continue to look for more books (in both series).

So what? Is there a point to your statement? Have there been people denied the opportunity to marry because they are mutually sterile? Please provide some examples.
#196864 Jun 20, 2013
No that argument is reserved for same sex marriage only, they wont apply that "rule" to anyone else.
It was a bogus argument from day one, but they dont have anything else they can cling to, so they cling to a sinking ship

So marriage IS a constraint on evolutionary mating behavior.
In other words, it's not natural.
The survival of the species, it would seem, would be more likely if there were no marriage contract to tie these men to one woman. The man--especially the successful, most powerful man, would be able to spread his genetic traits to more women; leading to greater numbers of smarter, faster, stronger, genetically superior offspring.
Your notion that pairing a man with a woman for life in order to make sure that she is capable of being cared for--that their offspring will be better cared for--assumes that women can't provide for their own offspring sufficiently.
In the animal kingdom, there are many species in which the female raises her offspring to maturity on her own.
Using your own definition of marriage, maybe mankind needs to establish a situation where men are able to impregnate as many women and offspring as he can support. Once the offspring have been raised to maturity, the husband should divorce his wife and start anew.
But that's neither here nor there. The bottom line is that you have found a single article written by a "Yahoo contributor" on which you base your definition of marriage.
Oh, and by the way, the author of the article that you steal from (you steal from her by not identifying her as the source for your findings), also wrote an interesting piece about how she supports that LGBT movement.
Emmy Diers says, "The fact that issues such as abortion and gay marriage are even open for discussion is a testament to the fact that progress is still being made. These discussions were not openly taking place even thirty years ago. Eventually it will happen; until then we must continue to advocate and to educate the public. We must also continue to be optimistic and above all else, we must remain patient."

Bwah ha ha ha haha!! People can and do mate without marriage. They were able to do so for eons before the institution was even invented. And they continue to do so to this day. The institution of marriage has NO requirements related to mating. NONE.
At the most basic essence, marriage is about maintaining property and inheritance. Period.
Thank you for your ridiculous link. But since mating is not a requirement of marriage I'll skip it as being as completely irrelevant as your posts.
You seem to be under the impression this string is about mating. It isn't.
What needs to be countered? Your view of mating habits? LOL! The subject of this string is marriage, not mating. Mating habits are completely irrelevant to the topic.
What else you got?

I think you'll find that the Biblical command is to not judge another person--that you do not have the supernatural ability that God possesses to pass judgment on another human being.
You do not know truth. You may think you do, but you don't. None of us know truth. We have FAITH that we believe guides us to truth.
But to actually determine another person's truth is dangerously arrogant.
You are not God. You cannot know what He has called me to be or to do.
You can only carry on in your own personal journey, doing those things that you BELIEVE He has called you to do.
And don't take this the wrong way, but I don't believe that He brought you into this world to judge others. Maybe you were meant to teach others about Him. Maybe you were meant to help bring others to Him. But to be His judge--telling others what His truth is? I don't think so.

The conclusion is that government makes far more from gas sales than all of the oil companies put together.

I am a believe in freedom too, I faught for it. but we need to draw a line some where. SSM will affect you in some way or another down the road, exdample I don't agree with it so I don't think I should have to pay into it by supporting the teaching of gay rights or gay history in the public school system, just that alone will affect me and others who don't support SSM. I don't care what gays do in their own home but keep it out of public affairs.

Equality demands that we treat in the same ways things that are the same. But a same-sex relationship is fundamentally different from a marriage. No same-sex union can produce a child. And no same-sex relationship can provide a child with a mother and a father.
While respecting everyone's civil rights, government rightly recognizes, protects, and promotes marriage between a man and a woman as the ideal institution for procreative love, childbearing, and child-rearing. Recognizing that we are all created equal doesn't challenge this historical understanding.
Two flaws in that statement. First, Gays can marry a "related" adult, thier first cousin. Second, to marry means to enter into a legally recognized union of husband and wife. So, one cannot marry someone of the same sex, contradiction interns, at least in 32 states.
Legally, no, but you can find whatever house of worship u like and have them marry you.
You don't need government permission to do that.
There is no couple's right. Men, that includes u, and women, have the same right to marry.
Explain the rainbow flags, T-shirts, and bumper stickers, not to mention the numerous political action organizations?
SSSB is not new. Creating an identity out of it is.
So u agree then with my assertions?
You do have the right. Even in states where SSM is legal, it's not a big seller. Why is that?
It's OPPOSITE SEX, or, CONJUGAL as in husband and wife, NOT heterosexual marriage. As for the test.....hmmmmm....ya know...that might not be a bad idea....at least premarital counseling. If we have to pass a test for a driver's license......
Uhhhhhhhh.......helllllloooooo oo.....SSCs are different....in function and form.
Oh Madone! Would u at least be intellectually honest. U are arguing for SSRs to be legally called marriage, not the right to marry, which u ALREADY HAVE. As to the word, if u truly want it, then marry according to how it's culturally, historically, socially, legally, and yes, even religiously, defined.

Because there is a stay on the already overturned Prop 8, that stay should be lifted shortly.
There are currently 18,000 legally married same sex couples recognized that were married in California before this unconstitutional proposition was put into effect.
You are correct that currently no new couples can join the 18,000 that are currently legally married, but they will be able to soon.

If I buy a home at a foreclosure sale in Ohio, can its owners later take it back?
Buyers of foreclosed homes in Ohio can move in knowing that the former homeowners can't redeem or reclaim the place after the court has confirmed the sale.
I just took a job in a small town in Ohio and am planning on moving there soon. I want to purchase a house, but I'm not interested in any of the homes that are currently for sale. I recently learned that there's a house being foreclosed in a neighborhood that I'm interested in. I drove by and the place looks great from the outside. I'm seriously considering putting in a bid at the foreclosure sale to buy it, but since I've never done this before, I'm a little concerned. I read on the Web that foreclosed homeowners may be able to get the house back after the foreclosure sale has taken place. Is this for real? Is there really some way for them to keep the home even after the foreclosure is over and done with?
The information you read has some truth in it, but shouldn't stop you in your tracks. Homeowners in Ohio who've gone through a foreclosure can get their house back after someone purchases it at a foreclosure sale by "redeeming" it. (This means paying off the full amount of the foreclosure judgment plus certain additional amounts.) However, this is typically not a problem for potential buyers like you, since the homeowners would have to come up with a significant amount of money to do so and they'd have to redeem the house before the court confirms the sale to you.
Read on to find out how Ohio foreclosures work.
When Ohio Homeowners Can Redeem the Home in a Foreclosure
Foreclosures in Ohio are always conducted by a procedure known as "judicial," which means that when the homeowners stop making their monthly mortgage payments, the lender must file a lawsuit in state court in order to foreclose the home. After the foreclosure sale takes place, the court must confirm it in order to validate the sale.
The foreclosed homeowners could redeem the home after the sale, but they would have to do it before the court confirms the sale to you. This usually occurs somewhere around 30 to 60 days after the date of the foreclosure sale. Once the sale is confirmed, the homeowners forever lose the chance to get the home back this way and you are entitled to possession of (to own and live in) the property.
How Much the Foreclosed Homeowners Must Pay to Redeem
In order to redeem the house, the foreclosed homeowners would have to pay the full amount of the judgment, plus costs and interest (Ohio Rev. Code. Ann. § 2329.33).
Redemption rarely occurs, and it is easy to understand why. The homeowners who, no more than a few weeks ago, could not keep up with the monthly mortgage payments (which are usually the first bills that anyone pays if they've got any cash at all), would have to come up with financing to cover not only the full amount of the judgment, but additional amounts as well -- all within about a month or two after the sale. Most foreclosed homeowners aren't able to pull off such a turnaround in their life circumstances.
IRS Tax Lien Redemptions
It's possible, but not especially common, for the IRS to redeem the property after a foreclosure. The IRS can do this only if it held a federal tax lien on the home. If this is the case, the IRS by law has a period of 120 days from the sale date to redeem. You'll get a notice ahead of time if the IRS is considering redeeming the home.
Other Things to Think About When Buying a Foreclosed Home
While it is unlikely that the foreclosed homeowners or the IRS will redeem the home, there are few other pitfalls to consider when it comes to buying a home at a foreclosure sale. While the house might look great from the outside, the condition inside might not be so good. An owner who couldn't make the mortgage payments most likely couldn't afford upkeep either. (You'll have to buy the home "as is" at the foreclosure sale and you very well might not get a chance to look inside beforehand.)
Also, you won't be receiving any seller disclosures regarding the home's condition before the sale, as you would with a regular, non-foreclosure sale. (Learn more in Nolo's Buying Foreclosed Properties area.)
How to Locate Ohio's Redemption Law
To find the statute that discusses the foreclosed homeowners' right to redeem the home in Ohio, go to Title 23, Chapter 2329 of the Ohio Revised Code.

The cat was shot with a crossbow, as indicated by the bolt (arrow) in the photo. That might be a yuppie child, but it's more likely a redneck. There can't be too many folks in town who own crossbows.

So let me get this straight - it's wrong for people to bash Mexicans, but it's okay for you to bash a class of people? Jeezuz, you are SUCH a hypocrite.

Yep a bolt. I'm a redneck but I don't own a crossbow. Poor me.

DNA testing on the arrow? Are you serious? DNA testing is parceled out carefully for crimes against humans, because of the expense involved (the test and the manpower to run comparisons against a database). And does anyone really think that the person who did this is likely to BE in the database?
I think those folks in Animal Services watch too much television.
When my dog was shot (county, not city), Animal Services refused to look into it, even though I was 99.9% sure who did it. So excuse me if I am just a LITTLE bitter about the subject.
Okay, so I'm sad for the cat. Whoever did that is pond scum, but it's very likely to be a teenaged boy trying out his new bow and arrow. Are you hoping that Mom and Dad turn the kid in, AS? Good luck with that.
As for it possibly being a neighbor of the (extremely irresponsible, negligent) cat owner, I could see that. I am not advocating the harming of cats, but I am sick to death of seeing them on my property. Any cat who turns up at my place is not going to be treated nicely.
Cat owners, KEEP YOUR ANIMALS INDOORS. And SPAY AND NEUTER the little breeders. This cat was not fixed. It might not have been roaming where it shouldn't have been had the owners been responsible people and de-sexxed their pet.

No, it's them dang NATIVE AMERICANS. Send them back to.... oh, wait.
Lots of snark above, obviously. Sorry for the kitty. Not sorry for the kid who will eventually be caught.

i did not bash any class of people, what are you referring to. given that the west side is mostly middle and upper middle class, and crossbows are expensive, i would put two and two together. most likely a family with some disposable income, that could afford a crossbow, did this. maybe a a family with two parents working full time, and kids with no adult supervision.
#10 Jun 1, 2010
Is this a "new" gang initiation for grade school kids? Too young to kill a human yet?
#13 Jun 1, 2010
Popular with pig hunters, though. There used to be a crossbow hunter who advertised locally that he'd come and shoot nuisance feral pigs for you.
It's interesting that it wasn't mentioned in the article that it's a crossbow arrow. you'd think that AS would consult a hunter.
#16 Jun 1, 2010
yes i suppose it could have been a kid that stole. i actually would never even have mentioned yuppies except that the poster i responded to automatically made assumptions so i just gave another idea. you seem to be obsessed with me, and finding ways to put me down, i suggest you find a healthier hobby. have a nice day.
#17 Jun 1, 2010
No, it's just wrong to bash Mexicans--period. Can't believe I even have to tell you this!
#18 Jun 1, 2010
When I was young, I had a (not close) neighborhood friend whom I later avoided, once it was revealed that he like to whack random small animals (rabbits, stray cats) with a bow and arrow.
My family moved out of that neighborhood. I later learned that the kid had grown up to enlist as a paratrooper, so he could go to Vietnam and whack people with a machine gun. However, they shot back, and he died there.
Yes, he was white. No gangs. Just desire to kill.
#19 Jun 1, 2010
Very sad article; but this sentence got to me:
"The shooter could face a charge of animal cruelty, which can be a misdemeanor or a felony, as well as weapons charges for using a bow and arrow in the city limits."
Oh. Okay. I am getting rid of my sling-shot right away.....
#20 Jun 1, 2010
No but the increase in crime is attributed to gang violence which is mostly Mexican gangs. Look at the Sheriff's arrest log on line and count how many Hispanics are being arrested for violent crimes and you will see what I mean. Deporting some will help. Not sending our jobs to china and India will help too.

You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. The medical doctor will choose the most suitable antibiotic for your issue after taking recognize of your age, signs and symptoms, their severity and the eventual need for hospitalization. If symptoms persist or modify during treatment the doctor could prescribe you a higher dose or a different kind of antibiotic. Like bacteria, they can break down many kinds of organic substances and they grow in damp places like between our toes or in our sinuses. These antibiotics, anti-fungals, and anti-inflammatories are broken down into a small particle size so that it can pass the inflammation and make its way up to the sinusitis infection.
Sinusitis is a common disorder that affects a lot of people all over the world. When compared to Penicillin, Macrolides present lesser side-effects. Alexander Queen is a certified specialist in antibiotics with over 10-years experience. In the case of fungal sinusitis, treatment with decongestants and nasal corticosteroids to abate the swelling of the sinuses and nasal passages and decrease the mucus secretion remains to be an important part of the regimen. There main purpose is to filter the air that we breathe before it reaches the lungs.
This bacterial infection is called sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) and causes a variety of symptoms such as sinus pain, sinus pressure, headaches, fatigue and dizziness. Sinus infection remedy includes usage of wide

The sinuplasty technique is FDA approved and involves the use of a catheter based system along with a microscopic endoscope for proper access of sinuses. Infectious and noninfectious are the types of inflammation. This Gram-positive bacteria can also cause food poisoning, by producing a toxin.
Without drainage, this can lead to congestion and infection. However, a very reliable blood test for diagnosing sinusitis may be in the not-so-far future. The amoxicillin chewable tablet may contain phenylalanine. She said "oh, yes, I've had that happen to me before. Your liver and kidney function may also need to be tested.

If your sinuses are obstructed from the infection, then the air pressure cannot equalize inside your sinuses because the expanding air cannot flow out of your sinuses.

Goblin Big BossThough powerful enough in battle, a Goblin Boss can also employ all manner of trickery to ensure victory.
Orcs determine their hierarchy in a simple manner - the biggest and best fighter takes control. Goblins follow a less straightforward path to the top ranks, as they are both more devious and more cowardly than their brutish Orc cousins. Underhanded ploys and strategy are the preferred tactics for Goblins; although straight-up fighting is still an option, it is one that is typically left to the especially desperate. All Goblins use dirty tricks, with the best schemers being the most dangerous of their diminutive kind and the most likely to rise through the ranks. Those Goblins that make it to the very top are known as Warbosses or Warlords, although some of the more outlandish tribes might use more localised names such as a Wolf-khan, Grand Despot, Potentate, Bogtator, Chieftain-King or Great Grif.

From the Ashes Rises a Phoenix: Western Kentucky Postgame Thoughts
Western Kentucky vs. Tennessee
Well, there are so very many positive things to say about this game that it is hard to really know where to start, thus, I'll just start at the top, here are the stats for the game:
|Team Stats
|Western Kentucky
|First downs
|3rd Down Efficiency
1-for-11, 9%
7-for-9, 78%
|4th down efficiency
0-for-1, 0%
0-for-1, 0%
|Passing Yards
|Return Yards
|Sacks-Yards Lost
|Fumbles Lost
|Penalties – Yards
The stats speak loudly. Tennessee racked up a whopping 710 total net yards. Last season the Vols managed only 3,225 yards on the season, today they produced over 20% of last season's total yards in a single game. They scored more points than they have since the 2000 game against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Even more surprising was the balance in the offensive yardage between the pass and the run.
Alabama gets caught cheating, Kiffin plays with chalk
Somewhere, in front of a chalkboard—his hands coated with chalk dust—Lane Kiffin is smiling…
For the past several months Tennessee fans and the general sports-watching public have heard a near endless discussion about the various secondary infractions which have occurred since Lane Kiffin (a/k/a "the Blackjack General") took the reins as the head football coach for the Tennessee Volunteers. Needless to say, some have taken every available opportunity to criticize the University of Tennessee, The UT Athletic Department, Smiling Mike Hamilton, and the Blackjack General himself. Some of it has amounted to little more than sniping and smack-talk, while others have been decidedly more direct.
Rightly or wrongly, Tennessee has self-reported (or is in the process of investigating with with an eye toward reporting) six secondary violations of NCAA Rules, the most recent coming—as HSH reported just the other day—as a result of the Blackjack General's recent appearance on ESPN's "Outside the Lines," where he discussed, imagine that, secondary infractions with ESPN's Bob Ley.
A "secondary violation" is defined in the NCAA Manual as follows:
A secondary violation is a violation that is isolated or inadvertent in nature, provides or is intended to provide only a minimal recruiting, competitive or other advantage and does not include any significant recruiting inducement or extra benefit. Multiple secondary violations by a member institution may collectively be considered as a major violation.
• 2008-09 NCAA Division 1 Manual § 19.02.2.1 (emphasis added)
To put this in layman's terms, secondary violations are the functional equivalent of talking in the NCAA's rather large and particularly boring class. Or, perhaps, in Lane Kiffin's case, they amount to showing-off for all the girls (or in this case, recruits) in the back of class to impress them and passing notes reading:
I like you. A Lot.
Do you like me?
Check One: ___Yes ___No ___Maybe
— Lane
While this sort of thing—in both Mrs. Elliott's 6th Period English Class and in the world of NCAA compliance—are annoying, they are largely harmless. While it is true (again, with both Mrs. Elliott and the NCAA) that enough of these sorts of minor errors along the way can land you in the proverbial Principal's office, as long as you say you are sorry after each instance (and UT has self-reported all such violations) and space the occurrences out by a day or two, usually there is little punishment to be meted out, aside from being made a spectacle in front of your peers…
… or by having to stay after class and write on the blackboard.
Hence, while Lane Kiffin and the UT Athletic Department are probably getting a little tired of having to deal with the issue of secondary violations, they have been merely a bump in the road thus far.
The Alabama Crimson Tide, on the other hand, is now facing a decidedly more serious situation…
So, did the Butler do it?
Note: This post is essentially a comment responding to a post by Hooper over at RTT regarding the Brian Butler Saga. I considered posting some of this as a comment on that venerable site, but opted instead to post my thoughts in an actual article. Thus, I would encourage anyone reading this post to give the original post by Hooper a look.
For a detailed account of Brian Butler's exploits in the world of college football recruiting you should check out an excellent article written by The New York Times' Thayer Evans and Pete Thamel entitled "College Recruiting's Thin Gray Line," upon which the author of this post also relied.
Brian Butler has been called many things by many people, not all of them are nice.
Butler is a former rapper and call-center manager, and a seemingly respectable football trainer based out of Wichita, Kansas. At present, Butler is the principal and operator of the Potential Players recruiting service through which he serves as a self-styled, come-lately, "recruiting adviser" to high school football standouts across the country. A "gifted" self-promoter, he is also the subject of a recently announced investigation by the NCAA.
There are many questions being asked about Butler by many people, especially those recruiting high school standout Bryce Brown (which includes Tennessee). The fundamental question, however, centers on whether he is essentially seeking to act as a sports agent for players being recruited by college football programs.
For now, at least, there is no definitive answer to this query.
The reason that this is an issue is that Butler has widely taken the position that the only way that college recruiters can speak with high-schoolers that he is "advising" is by going through him. To many, this appears—at least outwardly—that Butler is serving as an "agent" rather than simply as an "adviser."
Again, why does anyone care? Under NCAA bylaws, current and potential student athletes are prohibited from retaining agents, and requires that all prospective athletes undergo an amateurism certification process, which includes, among other things, certifying that the athlete has not agreed to be represented by an agent. On the issue of agents, NCAA Bylaw 12.3 states that:
An individual shall be ineligible for participation in an intercollegiate sport if he or she ever has agreed (orally or in writing) to be represented by an agent for the purpose of marketing his or her athletics ability or reputation in that sport. Further, an agency contract not specifically limited in writing to a sport or particular sports shall be deemed applicable to all sports, and the individual shall be ineligible to participate in any sport.
• See NCAA Operational Bylaw 12.3.1 (PDF )
The NCAA's website offers additional guidance stating that:
…a student-athlete (any individual who currently participates in or who may be eligible in the future to participate in intercollegiate sport) may not agree verbally or in writing to be represented by an athlete agent in the present or in the future for the purpose of marketing the student-athlete's ability or reputation. If the student-athlete enters into such an agreement, the student-athlete is ineligible for intercollegiate competition.
Also, a student-athlete may not accept transportation or other benefits from an athlete agent. This prohibition applies to the student-athlete and his or her relatives or friends.
The term "agent" includes actual agents, runners (individuals who befriend student-athletes and frequently distribute impermissible benefits) and financial advisors.
It is not a violation of NCAA rules if a student-athlete merely talks to an agent (as long as an agreement for agent representation is not established) or socializes with an agent.
• via: Overview of NCAA Bylaws Governing Athlete Agents | NCAA.org
Thus, Butler acting as the only means of communication with a recruit could be troubling and potentially a violation of NCAA rules, hence the NCAA investigation.
This raises a particularly thorny set of issues for high school athletes and their families, college athletic departments, high school coaches, college boosters, the NCAA, and State Legislators. That's right, I said State Legislators.
For these reasons, I am personally of the opinion that someone—whether it be Butler, athletes, college institutions, or otherwise—will end up paying for what amounts to an infraction that lies in the proverbial "gray area" of the NCAA's rules. A violation in spirit, if not in the letter. The problem is, however, that whether Butler's conduct violates many rules or none all depends on the perspective applied to the facts, and for the record, I make no assertion that I know or understand all of the facts.
Still, let's use a hypothetical to illustrate the complexity of the situation.
The natives appear restless … or are they just resting?
Apparently, University of Tennessee students are getting a bit restless these days when it comes to the BasketVols—so restless, in fact, that they've decided en masse not to come to the games at all, and have chosen to stay home and take naps (or something along those lines).
According to Basilio only 312 students showed up for the Vols' game against the Vanderbilt Commodores at the Tommy Bowl (a/k/a Thompson-Boling Arena). Tennessee currently has nearly 30,000 students, so that adds up to around 1% of the total students bothered to come to the game. Now admittedly, that game was played on Valentines Day, and maybe "love" was in the air, but only 312 students? I know from my time on the Hill, there are usually plenty of undergraduates who don't have dates at any given time (or ever, in the case of some folks). Unlike football, students don't have to get a ticket, and need only provide a valid student ID to get into the games, so the cost and annoyance argument is out the door. Given the fact that students came in throngs last year, it appears that the students have simply gotten fickle and expect a little more from the program than what they are currently receiving.
So why have the students seemingly given up on this team?
I was a student at the University of Tennessee from 1994-1998. When I arrived on campus as a freshman, the Vols were coming off their worst season in the history of the school. The 1993-94 Vols won a grand total of 5 games under, then, coach Wade Houston who apparently did not even understand the rules of basketball. Thus, my expectations were low when the 1994-95 season rolled around, despite the fact that Tennessee had a new head coach, Kevin O'Neill. Still, I can say with conviction that I attended every home game that season and watched the Vols claw their way to an 11-16 record.
Great basketball, it was not. Still, I went nonetheless.
Now I am not going to call into question the loyalties of the student body as a whole—we each make our own choices and decide what is important to us personally. I suppose, given the lengths to which I have gone as a fan of the Big Orange (including running the Gate), I am one of those fans that you can count on to show up anytime the real Gate 21 (into Neyland Stadium) or the doors of the Tommy Bowl are open. I suppose I am one of those nut-jobs who blindly supports the Vols regardless of the circumstances (this is not entirely true but, for the purposes of this article, it fits). I guess that is why I always attended the games when I was a student.
Either way, only 312 students at the game is pretty slim pickings, and I am pretty sure — at a minimum — that out of the tens of thousands of students at UT, there are more than 312 students who, like me, are certifiable head-cases when it comes to supporting the Vols.
The Cost of Sports — Part 2: Jerry Maguire and Professional Sports
This post is part of a continuing series — "The Cost of Sports" — examining the impact of current economic changes on the world of major sports. To see the other posts in this series, click here.
As I discussed in Part 1 of this series on the cost of sports, at Tennessee, the price can be high when it comes to paying your way into Neyland Stadium — a truth of which Nashville's Thomas Luck is all too aware. I discussed the issue purely in terms of the experience at Tennessee mainly because it is what I am familiar with. Tennessee was but a lens — the reality is largely the same at all schools with a major athletics presence.
The world of professional sports, however, makes the college ranks look like small potatoes in the way it is wed to the almighty dollar. Given the current uncertain economic times, however, I question whether professional sports in particular can continue in the way it has for so long.
I suppose that sports fans should not be surprised at the notion that professional teams would necessarily focus on money, after all that is what professional athletics are all about: getting paid to play. I suppose Rod Tidwell (from the movie "Jerry Maguire") summed it up best with the oft quoted line "Show me the money!" What I think is a bit surprising is how willingly and uncomplainingly professional sports fans have accepted the "money first" approach of all the teams in all the major leagues. The increases in costs passed along to professional sports fans over the last generation is really quite staggering.

But don't take my word for it…
The uglier side of the coaching carousel…
Well, in case you were so overcome with joy at the news that "Kiffin the Elder" (a/k/a "The Full Monte") would be joining Coach Kiffin next Fall in Knoxville—and I can completely understand why you might be—the news out of Auburn is much less pleasant.
Apparently, "War Eagles" are cannibals because at present, the Auburn Tigers are voraciously eating their own…
First of all, I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not purporting to offer any thoughts on whether Gene Chizik was a good hire from a "football" perspective. First, aside from my remembering that Chizik was on the Auburn staff as a defensive coordinator in the 2004-ish era, I really don't know enough about the man's essentials to assess him one way of the other. I have never been (nor do I plan to become) a devoted follower of the Iowa State Cyclones either, thus I also lack the knowledge to weigh whether Chizik's 5-19 record as the head coach in Ames really means that much or not.
Second, as a Tennessee fan, I have little room and even less desire to point out the shortcomings of other programs at this particular point in time ("ahem… pot, meet kettle")…
Third, I don't have to really even get into the substance of Chizik's qualifications to realize that all hell has broken loose on the Plains.
There are some very restless natives in Auburn.
Since Gene Chizik's announcement as the new head coach, the Tiger faithful have literally declared a civil war on a scale which boggles the mind and confounds reason. The only reaction I have been able to draw thus far is that, based purely upon the reaction of the fans, alumni, and talking heads—completely irrespective of his abilities—Gene Chizik is going to have a very tough time winning at Auburn.
The reason for this is that, with the exception of Auburn AD Jay Jacobs, and perhaps Kirk Herbstreit, there appears to be no one among the Tiger faithful who is, was, or believes that they will ever be happy with this hire. Of course, this is an understatement of prodigious proportions—somewhat akin to saying that GM is undergoing a "minor financial adjustment" or that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has made some "unpopular decisions." Only two words accurately describe the situation among the Aubies:
Cataclysmic Meltdown.
For example, listen to the guy ranting and raving in the background as Jay Jacobs returns to Auburn after sealing the deal with Chizik over the weekend.
Jay Jacobs Gets a Welcome Back to Auburn
Wow, now that is some serious fan support!
Now, mind you this is occurring before the official announcement has even been made. This was not, however an isolated incident.
Over at Track 'em Tigers, the reaction was enough to induce vomiting (you simply have to read through some of the comments), and I am pretty certain that a few of the commenters have since committed suicide. In particular, the guy who wrote this letter:
Mr. Jacobs
I have no words to express how I feel about the hiring of Chizik as the head football coach at Auburn University. How can anyone be this devoid of wisdom. I have been an Auburn fan for 40 years. I went to school during the Barfield years for goodness sake. During this entire period I have never once even considered wavering in my allegiance to Auburn.
As of now I will turn in my tickets. (scholarship) I will not send another dime of support to the University, and I will join all efforts towards the removal of you and everyone else involved in this ridiculous hire.
You and Dr. Gogue may think you can sit in your ivory towers protected by the powers that be, (and you know to whom I am referring) but you forget Auburn is a grassroots university. Hard working men and women made Auburn the great university it is today. I hold fast to the belief that it is the spirit that lives in these same men and women which will cause us to band together and throw you and the rest of your crowd out on your ears.
It cannot happen soon enough!!!!

The comments over at al.com's Gold Mine Blog were fairly similar in their lack of … excitement. My personal favorite was:
Excuse me while I go take down generations of Auburn memorabilia and burn my diploma.
• via: al.com — BigBlueHey
Of course, we all know that comments are often submitted in the heat of the moment, and are less than well thought out—I'm as guilty of that as anyone. The bad news is that, by and large, even the cooler heads have shown strong misgivings at the hiring of Chizik. One such "cooler head" is that of Will Collier at From the Bleachers who writes:
All that stuff about "don't panic" and "they sky is not falling" and "Auburn will hire a good coach?" Never mind all that. Dogs and cats are, in fact, living together in the luxury suites of Jordan-Hare Stadium.
* * * * *
Gene Chizik is almost certainly the worst candidate interviewed during this utter farce of a coaching search. He is a poor recruiter who has completely failed to date as a head coach. Chizik's own friends in the coaching community openly scoff at the idea of him being a head coach for a major program.
For Auburn's program, he will be the equivalent of Mike DuBose, although hopefully without the cheating.
* * * * *
I don't say this lightly, but, Fire Jay Jacobs. And while you're at it, fire his buddy Tim Jackson, who inexplicably was invited along for the interviews, despite the fact that Jackson is Auburn's… ticket manager. That makes as much sense as asking a halfwit greenskeeper to sit in on interviews for a corporate CEO.
• via: From the Bleachers
Two more particularly well done pieces can be found at The War Eagle Reader and The Pigskin Pathos as well as some ranting and raving from A Lifetime of Defeats.
All of this begs the question, when does exercising your constitutionally (and in my opinion morally) protected "bitching license" leave you in the proverbial Catch-22? It seems to me that even if Gene Chizik were the second coming of Vince Lombardi or (to put it more into context) Shug Jordan, that he is now doomed to fail. In other words, no matter how good he is as a coach, he is already disliked by the fanbase before a single down of football has been played. I understand that the Auburn faithful are not happy with the hire, and that many feel Tommy Tuberville was essentially fired for no good reason, but at the end of the day if you are an Auburn fan, if you don't rally around your new coach, it is all but assured that the program will implode for at least 2-5 years, if not more.
Fortunately for Auburn, some of those in the blogosphere have recognized this, including Joe Cribbs Car Wash and Fields of Donahue who writes:
Alright, our new head coach is Gene Chizik.
We're not happy.
It sucks.
The only thing to do now is support him. I don't care if he was miserably bad at Iowa State. He is our coach now, and we need to get behind him…

I feel for the Auburn folks. The Tennessee Volunteers are just coming out of the gloom of what is, without question, the single most difficult football season I've ever lived through. All season long Orange Nation spent a great deal of time ripping one another to shreds before Smiling Mike Hamilton and the Great Punkin finally quieted things. Like it or not, at least Smiling Mike had the decency and good sense to address the issue with Fulmer in as transparent and public a manner as was probably possible. That helped start the healing process, and probably accounts for the general sense of excitement surrounding the ascendancy of the Blackjack General as Tennessee's new football coach, despite the fact that many still have questions about his experience. That is also precisely why Auburn AD Jay Jacobs is currently public enemy number one down on the Plains. Still the situations are really not all that dissimilar.
That's the odd thing. From where I am sitting—from a purely "factual" perspective—both Tennessee and Auburn are looking at largely untested and unknown head coaches putting on their headsets next fall. The only difference is that Tennessee is doing everything it possibly can to help boost their new skipper to success, while it seems that Auburn is obliterating every possible chance for their new hire to enjoy the same. Both men have a tough road and a lot of work ahead of them, but—as things currently stand—it would appear that Kiffin has a much better chance of success simply because the fanbase is uniting behind him.
Right now, I am really appreciating Smiling Mike…
Hopefully, the Tennessee fans out there who are quick to attack will pay attention to this debacle at Auburn and learn. Sometimes you have to come together, sometimes you have to put differences aside, sometimes you have to bite your tongue. That is what it means to be part of a team or, as I have described it, a family. Establishing a tradition always requires unity and sacrifice.
Learn from this, Orange Nation, lest you follow the Tigers down that bitter primrose path…

Will Northern Illinois be a Lesson in Leadership?
Running a little behind, still hacking up a lung and sputtering, but moving purposefully…
As I mentioned earlier, the Northern Illinois game will be a watershed event. That is especially true considering the news coming from the football program today. Contrary to what most fans and prognosticators may have believed pre-season, this weekend's game may be the single most important game of the season for the Tennessee Volunteers.
First, if the Tennessee Volunteers are going to turn this season around, it starts this weekend. On one level, there is the obvious goal of getting another win in a season where those have been increasingly difficult to come by—thereby closing the win/loss gap for the season. This helps on paper and in terms of respectability, but that sort of thing means nothing unless the team also progresses.
More importantly—in a fundamental sense—this team needs to find its identity, to find its leader…
This team has yet to "find" itself and to define its persona as a team. At present it has two distinct and different identities, reflective of the fact that it is essentially two different teams. On one hand, the defense—though not perfect—has shown its mettle as a hard-knocks, full-tilt, never quit squad of young men. This is especially true in the case of Eric Berry and Rico McCoy—two of the more visible leaders for the defensive unit, which has been solid since the start. This defensive unit has has refused to concede anything, even when facing near-impossible odds. The defense has come ready to play.
The old adage is that "offense sells tickets, but defense wins games." I believe this to be true, but there are always extremes which serve as exceptions to the rule. Thus far, the 2008 Vols are such an exception. Actually, that is not entirely true. When the offense takes care of its business, then defense wins games. Some semblance of an offense is required if a team is going to succeed. The defense, to its credit, has not engaged in finger-pointing, but must be getting tired of making excuses for the lack of offensive production.
In my opinion (which mean nothing) the defense has done enough to win all of the games this year—especially versus the UCLA Bruins and Auburn Tigers…
The offense, however, has really failed to do its part from the very start. The offense does not seem to have improved at all as the season has progressed and a fair argument can be made that it has actually gotten worse. For the record, I do not blame Offensive Coordinator Dave Clawson for this. While I am hardly an authority, I do not think we have even begun to see the real face of the "Clawfense." I simply do not feel that he has had a chance, or the players, needed to give his changes "legs" on which to run.
No, the reason for this lack of leadership on offense is not due to coaching, but in the lack of players stepping forward to lead the team. While I agree that coaches can and should help mold leaders, I do not believe that they can simply create them out of nothing. Real leadership ability comes from within. Thus far, it seems that the Tennessee coaching staff has found no one who has both the desire and the ability to lead on offense.
It is obvious that Jonathan Crompton wants to be a leader—or that he believes himself to be one—but the fact is that he has yet to show the ability lead. Does he have what it takes? Perhaps, but I am not going to pretend that I actually know. What I will say is that, based upon his performance on the field he has not yet shown it.
To be effective, those being "led" must believe that their leader will help propel them to victory—this is true in any endeavor, football or otherwise. Part for showing that ability is shouldering the load, part is walking the talk, part is putting team before self. So far, Crompton has seemed more focused on "being the guy" in title, than he has been on "being the guy" in fact. That is not to say he cannot rise to the occasion, just a recognition that so fare he has not. In fairness to Crompton, no one else on offense has exactly stepped-up either.
Given the fact that, it has been announced that sophomore Nick Stephens will start this weekend at quarterback, it seems apparent that the Great Punkin agrees…
Traditionally, leadership comes through experience. This year, however, sophomore Eric Berry has shown that is not always true, as he has grabbed hold of the mantle of leadership for the defense. Perhaps, another sophomore—Stephens—will do the same for the offense. While this season will likely not be a championship year for the Vols, it has yet to be determined what the ultimate legacy is for this team. Could this season be the start of the next era of Tennessee football—albeit a bit bumpy from the outset—or will it devolve into a disaster on the order of "The Season of Which we do not Speak" (2005).
For my part, I am not looking for the Vols to be world-beaters this year. I am, however, looking for improvement each week. I am looking for this team to take steps toward the future. I am looking for purpose.
More importantly, I am looking for this team to actually become a team—not simply a defense and an offense who happen to wear the same color jerseys…
The defense is doing its part. It is now up to the offense to "find itself," for its leader to step forward and meet the defense half way. Either way, this week's game against the Huskies will like be either one more step toward failure or the first game of a new season. I hope the orange-clad faithful will put their issues with the coaches aside and support this team—and its new quarterback—fully. Though I understand the frustrations that Vol fans are feeling, I personally believe the fans owe that to this team and Nick Stephens.
This season is not over—not by a long shot. For Nick Stephens, the season is only just starting. For the rest of Orange Nation, this season officially starts over on Saturday night.
Sometimes in life we learn by trial and error—this can be true in any setting. Sometimes we learn as much from failure—sometimes more—than we do from success. I have a feeling that Nick Stephens will be focused, first and foremost, on doing what he needs to do to win. Succeed in mastering the basics, and Stephens will have taken a huge step toward showing everyone that he is ready. For Nick Stephens' sake, for Phillip Fulmer, Dave Clawson, Eric Berry, for this team, for each and every person who wears the orange and wears it proudly, I hope we discover who is ready to lead.
I also hope we learn from the mistakes of those who were not…

Galaxy S3 Overheating and Discharging quickly
I have recently began to experience problems with my Galaxy S3. I had my phone on the charger and while I was using it to play a single game (with no background programs running) it was discharging and lost 3% within 5 minutes. To continue, I then decided to leave it alone and turned off all applications running and set it down. When I picked it up 30 minutes later it had charged only 5%. Thus I left it there to continue charging after I powered it down so that I would have no applications running in the background for sure. When I picked it up and turned it on 3 hours later it had charged from 33% to only 65%. I then checked my battery monitor, which automatically shuts off applications I am not using that run in the background and sets my brightness to 50% and screen timeout to 5 seconds as I have it set, and within 10 minutes I was down from 66% to 50% which is absurd being as I was only playing the game for roughly half the time before checking my background applications and turning my phone back to standby. I am unsure of what is going on with my phone but it has also been getting extremely hot to the point I almost burned my hand when I touched it to turn off an alarm a few mornings ago. Also I have no idea if this has any play into this, but a day ago my phone was on standby and when I went to pick it up, It was turned completely off and I know it had not died as it had 90% battery when I set it down and left it there for 20 minutes at best, I removed the battery and put it back in. When it turned on it entered into safe-mode. I brought it out of safe mode afterwards but later the next day (this was around when a majority of this all began) when I went to turn it to standby, the screen began to freak out and had waves of colors going across the screen reminiscent of when you put your finger on a monitor and move it across and the colors create a sort of rainbow effect as the screen in that area freaks out. I would really appreciate any help given!

Late Friday evening a man was out walking his two leashed dogs near Canmore, Alberta. A mountain lion attacked, choosing to pick off the smaller of the two dogs. The man fought off the mountain lion, and ended up saving his dog. The dog did suffer some scratches from the altercation.
Colorado has a "Make My Day" law which protects homeowners legally if they need to use lethal force to protect themselves in the home. House Bill 1088, also referred to as the "make my day better" law, would have given business owners and employees the same protection. Allowing them to use whatever means they felt necessary if they felt threatened. It passed the Republican led house, but was shot down in the Democratic led Senate.
Jackson Hole is home to a large variety of wildlife. Deer and elk are the ones that residents like having around, but it is not surprising that with so many of these tasty animals around that there are predators. Bears, mountain lions, and more recently, wolves have all come to Jackson Hole.
Three to four wolves have been roaming the subdivisions in the Jackson Hole area. If the wolves have made the residential areas their territory, and are not threatened by humans, there could be some serious issues. The U.S. Fish and Game Service are going to try and tranquilize the wolves, and then give them a lethal injection.
After several months of wandering the wolf named OR-7 is now done with California and has returned home to Oregon. California has not had wild wolves in the state for the last 87 years. Then this past fall OR-7, a lone wolf from Oregon trekked down to California. He was looking for his own territory, different wolves, maybe love, but apparently he did not find it.
Mark Cawardine spent hours waiting for a rare encounter with a "spirit" bear in Canada's Great Bear Rain Forest. During his wait he saw many black bears, fishing their way up the river. Finally his patience panned out, a spirit bear came out of the forest to do some fishing.
This year the mountain lion season in South Dakota started on January 1st. It was set to go until March 31st, or until 50 females had been taken or 70 total mountain lions had been taken. It was the latter that closed the season. 70 mountain lions were harvested in the 2 months since the season opened.
Wildlife commissioners increased the quota on mountain lions this year. It is believed that they are the primary predator of the Black Hills deer and elk. In efforts to increase the deer and elk population, they voted to increase the quota on the mountain lions.
Right now legislators in Missouri are discussing whether the large predators should be considered wildlife or as an invasive species. Then there's the fact that the mountain lions were there before settlers, so who really is the invasive species?
It is illegal to kill mountain lions in Missouri, but the senate would like to change that. Since 1994 there have been 28 sightings, and half of those happened in the last year. The animals are considered too dangerous to not make some efforts in controlling the population.
Some poaching cases are simple and can be handled with some tips, and some investigation. Others are not that clear cut, and that is when people like Lucinda Delaney Schroeder come in. She is now retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service, where she was a special agent. She has become an author, using tales from her real life experiences. Schroeder has moved to Montrose, Colorado with her husband who is a wildlife biologist, after visiting Colorado during some of her work, she fell in love with the state.
A group of tourists had signed up for a daytrip to Katmai National Park in Alaska, in August 2010. The touring company was Bald Mountain Air Service, which promises brown bear sightings from a safe distance. The group of 10 photographers got a bit more than that safe distance for viewing. A brown bear, thought to have been attracted by a scent from one of the members of the group, charged at the group. The guide told them to stay still. If a bear is given a chance to do the right thing, in most cases it will. All the people did indeed stay still, even if their instincts told them to do otherwise. The 8 foot grizzly bear sniffed, lost interest and left. With that the sightseers took a deep breath, some probably in a bit of shock but thankful that the group was leaving uninjured. The video wasn't posted on YouTube until February 2011, and has been receiving hits ever since. Enjoy.

Kalispell has also had grizzly bears, mountain lions and black bears come to visit before. This is also part of living in Montana.
