All of us fans have heard the tour horror stories. Some of us have heard them even first heard, and a few of us have even had the opportunity to go on the road. It's all be documented, the fucked up crowds, the stupid people, the groupies, the crazy antics, the long road trips. Personally, while it might have been fun in my early twenties, and it could even be fun now for a week at the most, I don't think I could handle anything longer than that. That said though, I do love hearing the war stories on the road. My man Gen. Erik of the Portland/Eugene based Animal Farm comes through to drop his five worse moments during a show and on tour. It's probably a good thing he didn't make the Boise date a couple weeks ago, or it could've been on this list with the 10 plus people that showed up for the show (Boise sucks for hip hop…)
Gen.Erik's Top 5 Worst Show/Tour Moments:
1. Roy Jones Jr. Afterparty at Roseland Theater in Portland, OR
We flew the world class DJ Aero up for this one from LA. We were pushed to the back of the bill by about 20 gangsta rap acts, who kept performing out of place. Ended up performing in front of about 5 people. 2 of the five we're making out and groping each other in front of the stage. And the cherry on top: I got taken for quite a bit money by the promoter, who disappeared from her job, never to be seen again.
2. Mic Crenshaw w/ Gen.Erik and Rasheeda Ameera in Akron, Ohio
We flew all the way to Akron, Ohio and were rushed to the venue. When we got there around 1 AM, there was a World Music Dance going on. We cut off the dance, which was an awful idea. I pushed play on a CD player and Mic did 2 songs before some woman comes galloping across the stage with the cut it off, hand to the throat slash gesture.
3. The Game & Animal Farm in Eugene, OR
After experiencing a bunch of 15 year old wannabe suburban bloods in Portland, I knew we would have a challenge on our hands in Eugene. Turns out the Portland crowd (which got pepper sprayed by the cops in the Roseland), was much better than the Eugene zombies, who looked like they had been struck with rigermortis. Are you seriously texting in the front row? Here's a bottle of water to your head courtesy of Hanif Wondir. Then it all came to a spectacular conclusion, as Fury flipped off the entire crowd, causing us to exit to a choir of boos.
4. "Stan gets his chance to Shine" January 2009 California Tour (Animal Farm, Mic Crenshaw, and Serge Severe)
Allowing a friend to come run merch and drive the van for the Focused Noise crew led to a ridiculous trip through Cali, topped by him jumping on stage and stealing Fury's mic as soon as we started our Animal Farm freestyle session in Eureka, CA. He also spent about a total of 5 minutes at the merch booth, 30 minutes behind the wheel (until he was banned for driving crazy), and about 4 hours on the phone telling everyone he knew he was on tour. On top of that, he kept trying to talk us into stopping in Eugene, OR to pick up some girl he'd just met. However, he did make it up to us by hooking up a dope mansion for us to stay at in Northern Cali, and the fat girl he hooked up with was a serious bonus.
5. Attacking the crowd
This trend started at an old Money Shot show at the Wetlands, as KWils jumped off the stage and elbowed a heckler in the mouth, then jumped back on stage, never stopping his rap. Pretty impresive. The trend continued when Fury threw a punch at a fan who was beating up his friend in the front row of a show we did at the WOW Hall with Blue Scholars. Turns out Fury's friend was hitting on the guy's girlfriend, so it may not have been deserved, but ridiculous nonetheless. This was also the show that I went on a 2 minute rampage, cursing one person in the crowd, after he booed our request for one more song! Besides that this was actually all in all a good show, as these moments were perfect segues into "Mean Streaks" and "The Show Must Go On".
Honorable Mention: Milk in San Francisco (Watching the owner throw his hands up and give up when the sound man didn't show up, and I completely lost my voice as a result.) Although watching Nightclubber Lang and Jern Eye in a drunken battle on Haight Street afterward made it all worth it.
Another Honorable Mention: Fury was really drunk and decided that he was disrespected by Hanif Wondir on stage after Hanif cut off his drunken ramble. Fury boycotted about three songs and stood there without rapping. That was a fun night!
List Compiled by Gen.Erik (MC/ Producer for Animal Farm & Line of Fire, President of Focused Noise)

I made the mistake of thinking UCLA should beat Memphis in the 1st game of the Final Four, but the Tigers are now about 1 minute from punching their ticket to Monday night's final and they're up by 11 or so.
So, IF my Heels can beat Kansas in the upcoming game, they will face a very big, very quick Memphis team who has outmanned UCLA in almost every aspect of the game.
I said previously that I think Carolina matches up better with Memphis than with UCLA, and I still believe that. Even though this score (78 - 63, now final) would indicate Memphis is better, therefore we would be better off playing UCLA, I don't buy it.
I think UCLA's style of play would give us a harder time than the Tigers' will. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they aren't perfectly capable of beating us, they are. They are very big, and they run the floor very well for such a big team. I do think, however, that their preferred style is also our preferred style, and I think we are faster, so advantage us.
Too much thinking ahead, though. First things first. MUST beat Kansas, or it's a moot point.
I believe I will comment every so often during the game. Not that anyone is watching, just to record the moments for posterity, or maybe hilarity :)

OK, 1st off. TO - and not looking so good so far. But the Heels are infamous for starting slow.

just got home from a weird dinner. you just broke the news to me that Uck-Lah lost. Wow. My dad's pissed I'm sure, as he bet the Bruins to win it all.
Kansas on a huge run right now. YOu needed this timeout.

2nd Official TO, and it's goten worse - can't hit the broad side of a barn, and no defense whatsoever
This sucks, but it `WILL get better

o my lord, it's like, a million to 10. Well, Nebraska was down early to Miami in the 94 nat champ and people thought they were done, but they wore em down, wore em down, and won it.

3rd Official TO and Kansas has scored 18 in a row. At least Tyler hits a free throw to stop the drought. Maybe it's a start.
- April 5, 2008 at 9:28 PM

well, just think, if you make the final now, you should have some serious momentum

OK, we're infamous for comebacks, but THIS is a little Redickulus!
BTW - Hi Jere, thanks for stopping by!

Next Official TO, and we're down by 26. My worst nightmares all coming true.
There comes a time when you don't even care about a win anymore, you just want to look respectable. I hope we get there soon!

- SoSock said...
Halftime - down by 17!
But the good news is we've showed we can play them now. Not that I ever thought we couldn't, I just wasn't sure if we would or not.
Shaved the 28 point lead to 17 in the last 5 minutes and got a little MO going our way. Just have to come out with kind of onslaught after the break that they had to start the game.
And the great news is - I know we can! Just a matter of - will we?
- April 5, 2008 at 9:55 PM
- SoSock said...
Good News!
We believe we have isolated the problem - premature celebation.
I had the right sweatshirt on, the right cap, had the magic bottle opener at hand, but still things didn't go right.
The problem is - we opened the Crown before the game, should have waited. We will approach the second half more circumspect, with the same routine as every other game. Opened a beer with the musical bottle opener, shouted Go Heels Go at the end of the fight song, and we're ready to ROCK!
- April 5, 2008 at 10:07 PM
- SoSock said...
Edit - that should have been premature celebration -
premature celebation sounds like my life right now :(
- April 5, 2008 at 10:13 PM
- SoSock said...
All Right -
1st TO of the 2nd and we've shaved a few more off - 14 now.
And fouls are starting to loom for Kansas. We've got the ball after the break, and have cut what was a 28 point deficit in half.
Keep it up guys - please!
- April 5, 2008 at 10:21 PM
- SoSock said...
Down to 12!
we're getting into manageable territory now!
With any luck we're going to have to figure out to replace the battery in the bottle opener!

Under 12 TO, and they're down to 6!

Under 8 TO -
We're at 5 points down and it is now officially a ball game. We actually got it to 4, then they scored 4 quick, but we didn't fold, and a tres by Ellington makes it 5.
Here we go!

went back to reg tv to see 58-53! But like before, as soon as I turn it on, Kansas starts doing all the scoring....
- April 5, 2008 at 10:51 PM

TO - Heels
7 down and a little over` 4 to go.
The Heels are starting to show the exhaustion from their tremendous run.
Can they suck it up and pour it on for 4 1/2 more minutes?
- April 5, 2008 at 10:51 PM
- SoSock said...
Damn - the last official TO, and Kansas has taken off again. Back to a 10 point lead.
We can do it if we're not completely wore out.
A while back I said I just want to see us make it respectable. Well, we've done more than that. We turned the game completely around and pu them on the ropes.
They have now responded, and respectable doesn't seem like enough anymore.
I want the WIN, dammit!
- April 5, 2008 at 10:55 PM
- Jere said...
oh well. A Final Four appearance is always a feather to add to your baby blue cap.
- April 5, 2008 at 11:03 PM
- SoSock said...
Well, it's all but over.
The season ends on a very bad note, but at least they did put on one of their famous comebacks.
They just ran out of gas, and the final is 84-66 Kansas.
Oh well, opening day for the WSNLL Jr. Rockies is Tuesday, and opening day at Historic Ernie Shore Field is Wednesday.
Baseball takes over!

2 dead as bomber hits Iraq intelligence HQ
Baghdad - A suicide bomber blew up a vehicle packed with explosives at the interior ministry's intelligence headquarters in central Baghdad on Saturday, killing two people, security officials said.
At least eight people were wounded in the blast, the officials added.
The headquarters is protected by concrete blast walls, but the security forces on guard at its entrance on an often-crowded intersection are easy targets for attack.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, but suicide bombings are a hallmark of Sunni jihadists, including those loyal to the Islamic State (IS) group.
IS-led militants launched a major offensive in June, overrunning large areas of five provinces and sweeping security forces aside.
Kurdish forces backed by US air strikes in the north have begun to regain ground lost during a renewed assault by the militants earlier this month, but Iraqi federal security forces are still struggling to claw back lost territory.

Gilas needs to be at its best to beat China, says Baldwin
WITH only a few days left before it plunges into action in the FIBA-Asia Championship, the Gilas Pilipinas national team is cramming to transform itself into one cohesive unit.
Smart Gilas Pilipinas coach Tab Baldwin continues to emphasize that the nationals need to play cohesive and fluid basketball if they want to achieve their goal in winning the title and represent the country in the Rio Olympics.
"We're still continuing to work on our fluidity as a team both on and off the court. I'd like our maturity to transform further for us to be able to play to the best of our abilities and avoid silly mistakes,'' said the Kiwi-American Baldwin. "We're trying to be as efficient we can be.''
The nationals placed second in the 37th Jones Cup and topped the MVP Cup last week, but Baldwin said the team still has a lot of improvement to do before they can declare themselves ready for the FIBA, tournament which starts Sept. 23.
"This is a very young and new team, not because of age and experience, but in terms of time and jelling together since we haven't been playing together for a long time. That's what we're continuing to work on, our chemistry and familiarity with the system we're running,'' he said.
The Baldwin stressed that Smart Gilas need to be at its absolute best against the opposition, especially against title favorites Iran and China.
"Some of our biggest concerns are the turnovers and the careless mistakes that we tend to make on the defensive side. We cannot commit silly mistakes on both sides of the floor against those other strong teams in the FIBA-Asia. We need to fix those things going to China to have a really good shot. It's a continuing learning curve for us,'' Baldwin said.
The nationals are in the middle of a five-day training camp at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu, where they continue to fine-tune their system leading into the tournament.
They fly back to Manila tomorrow and rest for the weekend before flying to Changsa, China on Monday.
The Philippines, who is bracketed in Group B, will face Palestine on Sept. 23, meets Hong Kong on the 24th and takes on Kuwait on the 25th in the preliminary round of the FIBA-Asia.
In a report from Sports5, the only media outlet allowed in Smart Gilas' closed-door training in Cebu for this week, Baldwin told his players that they are all in it to win and the only goal is to win the FIBA-Asia tilt and earn the lone ticket to the 2016 Rio Olympics and anything other than that will end up in disappointment.

The SPC-OFP is responsible for the development and maintenance of the collective regional tuna fisheries database which provides both direct and in-direct benefits to their member countries.
The collective regional tuna fisheries databases comprise nine types of fishery data
In November 2010, Lucy Joy, National Tuna Data Coordinator from Vanuatu, followed several training sessions with various players of the OFP Data management team.
During this one week attachment, she was given :
The country web pages have been designed to respond to the Countries need for easily accessible information on fisheries data. The module provides countries with a secure access to several sources of fisheries information, such as:
Fishery data collected through a variety of sources (e.g. by vessels, observers, port samplers, agents) are essential to the work of the SPC/OFP in assessing the status of the tuna stocks in the western and central Pacific Ocean, with the output scientific advice used by the WCPFC, other regional or sub-regional organisations (e.g., FFA, PNA) and individual SPC members to manage the fishery.
Fishery data are collected and provided in hard-copy form but there is no widespread nor sustainable Electronic Reporting ("E-Reporting) occurring in the WCPFC tropical tuna fisheries at this stage, despite the clear advantages evident with the establishment of this type of data collection in other fisheries.
E-Reporting in the context of WCPFC Tuna Fisheries is the electronic recording of data "in the field" by vessel captains/officers/crew and fisheries department field staff (e.g. observers, port samplers) according to pre-determined data collection protocols and forms.
The main area where E-reporting has been identified as providing significant efficiency gains is with OBSERVER and LOGSHEET DATA.
The SPC/OFP has been requested by several of their member countries to investigate the potential of E-Reporting in collaboration with the FFA, WCPFC and the PNAO. To date, SPC has developed two main products which are currently undergoing trials in SPC member countries:
SPC/OFP is also collaborating with the WCPFC to look at the broader requirements of E-Reporting in the region.
The OFP conduct regional Tuna Data Workshops (TDW) on an annual basis at the SPC Noumea headquarters. These workshops are conducted over one week during April each year and are attended by tuna data coordinators from SPC member countries and other small-island developing countries belonging to the WCFPC (Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam). These workshops are conducted jointly with the OFP Fishery Monitoring Section. The TDW covers a number of topics on tuna fishery data collection and ·management, including:
Read more...
The OFP provide a number of capacity-building services to their member countries to enhance their knowledge and skills in managing their tuna fisheries data, thereby ensure the long-term sustainability of national fishery data management systems. These services include:
The OFP Data Management Section manages the regional tuna fisheries databases which include the comprehensive data provided by SPC member countries. This section provides technical assistance and capacity building for establishing and developing tuna fishery data management systems for member countries.
The Observer Trip Viewer System and the Observer Database Query System (ORSE) allow member countries to view processed observer data and extract summaries of observer data in tabular, graphical or mapping formats via a comprehensive reporting menu. Summary reports can be produced at the observer trip level or by querying their entire member-country observer database.
eTUBS is a web-based OBSERVER database management system developed by the SPC/OFP to enter purse seine and longline observer data collected on the SPC/FFA Regional standard observer forms.
Previous versions of this system (e.g. TUBS) have been used at SPC for more than 15 years and this latest web-based version is also installed and operational in the WCPFC offices, FFA offices (for the US purse seine Treaty observer programme), in addition to the offices of PNG National Fisheries Authority and Solomon Islands Fisheries on a trial basis.

However, if you wish to change any other aspect of your reservation, such as dates or room features, you may see a change in room rate.

Will my credit card be charged if I forget to cancel my reservation and don't stay in the room I reserved?
Yes. Reservations are automatically guaranteed to your credit card. To avoid being charged, reservations must be cancelled in accordance with the cancellation policy outlined by the particular hotel and the specific rate plan you are booking. When booking online, please be sure to click "Terms & Details" for more information on the cancellation terms for your reservation.
What is a guaranteed reservation?
If your reservation is guaranteed, it means that you have provided credit card information or other form of payment at the time you made your reservation and that the hotel will hold your room until check-out time the day following your scheduled arrival. In the event you do not check-in, the hotel will charge your credit card per the rules of the rate you reserved.
However, because hotels experience no-shows, they may on occasion overbook. In the event that more guests arrive than can be accommodated and the hotel is unable to hold a room for you, the hotel will attempt to accommodate you, at its expense, at a comparable hotel in the area for the oversold night(s), and pay for transportation to the alternative accommodations and a telephone call.
What is a fully prepaid, non-changeable, non-refundable reservation?
This term refers to a reservation that must be paid for in its entirety at time of booking, that cannot be changed by the guest or cancelled without a penalty as described in the rules of the rate reserved.
How long do you retain my reservation information?
For your convenience, we retain your reservation information for 30 months.
How can I find out if my company or organization has a corporate rate with Starwood?
To find out if your company has a Global Preference (GP), Starwood Executive Traveler (SET), SET Preferred or Europe Preferred account with us, contact your company's travel services, human resources or finance department. In some cases, companies arrange a special corporate rate with an individual hotel. Therefore, you may need to call the hotel directly to make reservations.
Can I reserve my company's corporate rates online?
Yes, in most cases. If your company has a Global Preference (GP), Starwood Executive Traveler (SET), SET Preferred or Europe Preferred account with us, simply include the account number in the "SET or corporate account number" field on the reservations request screen. This will ensure that you receive the appropriate GP/SET rates. However, if your company has negotiated rates with an individual hotel, you will still need to make reservations by phone, since locally contracted rates are not always loaded in the central reservations system for online booking.
Can I book Airline Hotel Certificate, Travel Agent and Group Rates online?
Unfortunately, at the present time you cannot confirm reservations online using hotel certificates (for example, United Mileage Plus), travel agent discounts or group rates. Please contact your nearest Worldwide Reservations Office or the hotel directly to confirm these rates.
Can I book Government Rates online?
Yes. Government rates can be booked online for Government employees on individual (non-group) government business-related travel. The eligible employees are U.S. Federal and State employees, National Government employees, active military personnel, Amtrak employees and Canadian Provincial employees. You will be required to provide the appropriate identification at check in. Please note that only one room can be booked per government employee.
Can I book special room preferences (such as connecting rooms or early check-in) online?
Yes. You can ask for connecting rooms, early check in and other special requests when booking your reservation online. Just note your requests in the Special Requests box under Optional Information as you go through the booking process. The hotel will do its best to meet your requests, but requests cannot be guaranteed until check in. Any requests will be honored based upon availability at the time of your stay.
Can I reserve more than one room at a time?
Yes. You can reserve up to fifteen rooms at once, as long as they are all the same room type. If you need multiple room types, please call 1-800-368-7764 in the U.S. or Canada for assistance with your reservation. All other countries, see Worldwide Reservations.
Can I reserve different types of rooms under the same reservation?
At this time, our system cannot reserve different types of rooms under the same reservation, but we expect to offer this option in the future. If you would like to book multiple room types, please call 1-800-368-7764 in the U.S. or Canada for assistance with your reservation. All other countries, see Worldwide Reservations.

Best Rate Guarantee
What is the Best Rate Guarantee?
Starwood makes available the best room rates on its branded Web sites (www.sheraton.com, www.fourpoints.com, www.whotels.com, www.alofthotels.com, www.luxurycollection.com, www.lemeridien.com, www.elementhotels.com, www.westin.com, www.stregis.com, www.spg.com, www.starwoodhotels.com). In the unlikely event that a lower rate at a Starwood Hotel is made available on a non-Starwood website (the "Competing Rate"), upon its receipt of a claim that satisfies Best Rate Guarantee terms and conditions, Starwood will honor that Competing Rate and provide the individual that submitted the valid claim one of the following rewards: (1) an additional 20% discount off the Competing Rate per room per night; or (2) 2000 Starwood Preferred Guest® Starpoints® per room per stay. Please see the SPG Terms & Conditions for more details regarding Starwood Preferred Guest® Starpoints®.
Does the Best Rate Guarantee only apply to certain rates?
Yes. Starwood's Best Rate Guarantee applies to published rates available to the general public. It does not apply to group or contracted rates, packaged or opaque rates, or qualified membership rates such as AAA, AARP or government rates. For complete details, please see the BRG Terms & Conditions.
How do I submit a claim?
A claim must be submitted prior to, or within 24 hours after, making a reservation through a Starwood Website, and at least 24 hours (48 hours for non-English Starwood Websites) before the standard check-in time at the applicable Starwood Hotel. You must submit a Best Rate Guarantee claim form to the Starwood Customer Service Center. For complete instructions on submitting a claim, click here.
What is acceptable evidence of a lower rate?
Starwood has the sole right and discretion to determine the validity of any claim and will not review documentation provided by the individual submitting a claim as part of its validation process. Starwood reserves the right to deny a claim, if it cannot independently verify the availability of a Competing Rate at the time it processes the claim.
Do I need to make a reservation in order to submit a claim?
No. A reservation is not required
Should I choose to receive Starpoints® for my claim reward, when will I receive them?
Starpoints shall only be available as a Best Rate Guarantee Reward for claims related to reservations at Starwood Hotels that participate in the Starwood Preferred Guest program. If you elect the 2,000 Starpoints as your Best Rate Guarantee Reward, it will post with your stay. If, for any reason, your Starwood Preferred Guest account is not credited with that reward within 2 weeks of your stay, you must contact the Customer Care Department. A Customer Care Associate will research your Starwood Preferred Guest account and will credit it with the Best Rate Guarantee Reward, if missing. You must apply for retroactive credits within 180 days of the check-out date of the hotel stay.
Can I receive Starpoints for a stay based on a claim like I would on a non-claim stay?
The number of Starpoints to be awarded to Starwood Preferred Guest members will be based on the eligibility of the rate actually paid by you at checkout.
If my reservation is pre-paid and I make a valid claim against it, when will I receive a credit for the Best Rate Guarantee rate difference?
In the case of a fully prepaid rate booked through a Starwood Website, Starwood will refund the difference to your credit card, if applicable, within 30 business days of submitting your claim. If a pre-paid reservation is booked through a Competing Room provider, Starwood is not responsible for any fees associated with the cancellation of that reservation.
What happens with Best Rate Guarantee claims in the event of a technical issue?
The Best Rate Guarantee will be suspended during times where the Starwood Websites or certain rates are not available due to an outage, a technical issue or a circumstance beyond Starwood's reasonable control.
What if I don't hear back from the Customer Service center after submitting my claim?
Any questions regarding claims should be directed to email@example.com or call 1-866-500-0368.
Assistance With Our Site
How do I access my account information?
To access your account information, you first need to sign in to your account at the top of the homepage, or on SPG.com.
How do I update my account information?
To update your account information, you first need to sign in to SPG.com. Once you have logged on, click My Preferences under My Profile.
I am not able to make or find my reservation online. Why?
The most common reasons are network firewalls and online security encryption.
Network Firewalls: If you are accessing the web from a company network, there is probably a network firewall. The firewall configuration often conflicts with secure transactions. In this case, you will need to contact the hotel directly, or the Worldwide Reservations Office nearest you.
Online Security Encryption: The reservations process is done on a secure site, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Encryption. For security reasons, the online reservations system can only take reservations from web browsers that accept this type of encryption. Netscape 3.0, Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, and America Online 3.0 (and later versions) all support SSL. If you have the most up-to-date web browser, and are still not able to make bookings online, check the browser's settings to make sure SSL is enabled.
Why can't I find the reservation I made online?
There are two reasons why a booking might not come up online. First, only bookings made via the online reservations system can be retrieved online. If you made your booking with the hotel directly, or through a central reservations office, you will not be able to look it up online. Second, if the hotel made a change to the reservation in their system, our system will be unable to find the booking. In either case, you may contact the hotel directly, or contact the Worldwide Reservations Office nearest you.
What type of browser is best to view this site?
The most recent edition of any browser is best for viewing our websites; however, at a minimum, we recommend using Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher for most operating systems except MAC. For MAC users, we recommend using Netscape 7.1 or higher or Safari 1.2.3 or higher. Unfortunately our sites will not work on older browser versions. Be sure to select the 128-bit encrypted (or secure) version, which is required if you wish to make reservations.
What are cookies? Can I get rid of them?
Cookies are bits of information retained on your hard drive that contain your preferences for a particular website. Cookies are useful on Starwood websites because they store your personal information and hotel preferences so you don't have to re-enter the information every time you make a reservation. Cookies are also needed to carry information from one page to the next during multi-step processes such as becoming a Starwood Preferred Guest® member or reserving a room.

Family LB heritage safe in hands of Skyline's Peyton Pelluer
Named for one of the NFL's greatest quarterbacks, Peyton Pelluer followed his father's and brothers' footsteps and became a standout linebacker.

RENTON — Back when Scott Pelluer was playing linebacker for the New Orleans Saints, he would occasionally play catch with a teammate's son.
The teammate was quarterback Archie Manning. The son was future NFL star Peyton Manning.
Pelluer and his wife, Kim, liked the name so much they named their youngest son after the Manning child, who became the first pick of the 1998 draft and a four-time league MVP.
As Peyton Pelluer grew up, genetics took over and he didn't follow in Peyton Manning's footsteps. Now a high-school junior, Peyton Pelluer is one of the top middle linebackers in the state.
"He's lights out," said Skyline coach Mat Taylor after his team practiced at the Seahawks' Virginia Mason Athletic Center earlier this week. "Every game he's our leading tackler. He's just got tremendous instincts. He's got that knack for finding the ball."
With 115 solo tackles through 13 games, Peyton's presence will be pivotal for the Spartans (10-3) against Skyview of Vancouver (11-2) in the Class 4A state championship game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.
He didn't become a quarterback, but at 6 feet 2 and 220 pounds, he is the director of the defense.
"I like to see myself as the leader on defense, especially after last year," Peyton said. "I see myself maturing into a better leader as we go on, each and every game. I guess you could say my name helps me with that, I don't know."
Peyton is the latest linebacker in the family. Scott played at Washington State before the NFL. Tyler, his oldest brother, played at Montana and Cooper, the middle brother, is at Washington. Like Peyton, Tyler and Cooper played at Skyline.
Peyton might be the family's hardest hitter, but that wasn't always the case.
"When he hits somebody he wants to finish them," Scott said. "He's always played like that, although when he was really young, he didn't care for sports. We had to bribe him to play football."
Then Peyton picked up several sacks one game. Talking to his father later, Peyton said, "Man, it was annoying. The announcer kept announcing my name all the time."
"Are you kidding me?" Scott asked his son. "You won't say that when you're older."
Scott was right. Peyton still keeps announcers busy.
"I like to think it's in my blood," Peyton said. "My dad always likes to joke around that I'm the nastiest of the bunch. I'm different from them (his brothers). I like being different. I'm the smallest also. It's no big deal. I'm the nastiest, I like to think."
Pelluer's leadership is a big reason the Spartans' defense has improved. The difference, as he put it, is playing alignment, assignment football.
"We did that and now we're playing with as much confidence as we've ever had," he said.
That confidence will be critical if the Spartans are to knock off the Storm and win their fourth title in five years. Peyton plans to lead the way.
"We do expect for him to be the quarterback out there," Taylor said.

Two legendary Manchester United number 7's have special message for 'Boss' Sir Alex Ferguson on his statue unveiling
Not everyone could make it to Sir Alex Ferguson's statue unveiling on Friday afternoon.
Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham beamed in via live video conference to congratulate the man they still call 'The Boss'.
The highlight of Ronaldo's messsage came when he said he needed to practice his English, "not the Scottish!', which produced a few chuckles in the crowd.
As for which of the two remain most dear in United fans' hearts, the cheers say it all!
Fan footage of Ronaldo and Beckham's live video message can be seen on the first video, while Ronaldo's can be seen in high quality on the second clip.

text: I have the Motion Pro tool also, except it cost half that much and is in a red box, got it from RockyMountainatv. My experience is that a link swaged with the Motion Pro tool is harder to remove than the KTM version; meaning the link is swaged in place at least as good, or better than, OEM. It's relatively easy to use, just don't go so far that the link binds up.

You say you don't trust Wikipedia? Well, you can blame your lack of confidence on men, at least for the most part.
According to a survey conducted by the Wikimedia Foundation and United Nations University, about a third of 175,000 Wikipedia users reported that they actually help write and edit encyclopedia entries - as opposed to merely reading them - and of that group women constituted a paltry 13 per cent.
That more men than women take the time to write, edit and wrangle over Wikipedia entries is not surprising. However, that the disparity between the participation of the sexes is so cavernous is raising eyebrows.
So what's up? Your guess is as good as mine (and likely a lot better than much of the drivel posted on various blogs last week). Wikipedia's response to my inquiry offered little insight, although the organisation has promised to analyse the data and issue a report later this year.
In the 'about' page on its Web site, Wikipedia proprietors had already acknowledged a gender gap among their ranks: "While most articles may be altered by anyone, in practice editing will be performed by a certain demographic (younger rather than older, male rather than female, rich enough to afford a computer rather than poor, et cetera) and may, therefore, show some bias."
Male rather than female in this case apparently means about seven men for every woman.

London Guardian
August 15, 2011
Norwegian police took the self-confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik back to Utøya island on Saturday to stage a reconstruction of his slaughter of 69 people there three weeks ago.
In a photograph of the visit in the VG newspaper, 32-year-old Breivik is shown standing in a shooting position, as if aiming a rifle at someone in the water.
"We were able to animate his memory with regard to what happened out there," police prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby told reporters, adding that many new details emerged in the eight-hour journey around the island.
"It was clear the suspect was not unmoved at being back on Utøya, but he did not want to elaborate on it to anyone and there was no expression of regret for his actions," Kraby said.

Almost 140 people from Derry have signed up to a website that facilitates extra marital affairs in the first few weeks of 2013.
UndercoverLovers.com spokeswoman and adultery expert Emily Pope told the 'Journal' the site has seen a record surge in new members since the turn of the year - and she says around 35 people from Derry have signed up since January 1.
She also says that for the first time more married women are signing up to the adultery dating service than men.
"When we launched Undercover Lovers three years ago we had approximately 7 men joining for every 3 women," she says.
"Since then however the gender ratio of our membership has been moving progressively towards parity. If the trend of this month continues through 2013 we could soon reach the point where ladies outnumber the gents using the site, which would finally put paid to the preconception that men are intrinsically more adulterous than women."
Emily says UndercoverLovers now has a total membership of 887 people from Derry. Since January 1, 78 Derry women and 59 Derry men have signed up for the site's services.
"Traditionally we believed that a woman who had an affair was looking for emotional fulfilment, whereas men were looking for sex. But that's outdated," Emily says.
"Today's women are more independent, feel more powerful and have a greater sense of entitlement than previous generations. Increasing numbers of them are enjoying what they perceive to be no-strings flings. They have no desire to end their marriages. Instead they are searching for sexual and emotional variety in an otherwise humdrum routine."
UndervcoverLovers says it now has close to 15,000 members in the north, and almost 700,000 across the UK.
