Sinead O'Connor and Mary Coughlan have entered into hostilities following comment by Coughlan on the day of O'Connor's wedding. Speaking to a journalist after a gig Coughlan said O'Connor was "a fecking lunatic" for getting married.
This is the second time that O'Connor and Coughlan have made enemies of eachother. The first time they fell out was when O'Connor became involved in Coughlan's former partner, Frank Bonadio.
O'Connor admitted that she was left in tears by Coughlan's throwaway remarks about her marriage.
Sources told the Sunday Tribune "There have been some pretty vile text messages flying between the two over the course of the last week. Sinéad threatened that she would sue Coughlan if she made any more remarks, and would 'flatten' her if she did not relent."
The source said that Coughlan never meant to brand O'Connor a lunatic. They said "It was a throwaway remark to a journalist at a gig and it has all ended badly. Both of them have fallen out now and some of the things being said really are quite vile.
"Both Sinéad and Steve, and Mary and her family, have been left upset by this latest row so all communication between the two has now been blocked."
O'Connor's manager Fachtna O'Ceallaigh issued a statement. It said "Sinéad has no comment whatsoever to make, and will not have, over and above the message that was posted on her website on the morning of the wedding."
Her wedding announcement read: "We who run this site are very happy to announce the marriage of Steve Cooney and Sinéad O'Connor has taken place this morning…Thanks be to the Great Lord Jah. Rastafari. Dread I. Conquering Lion I. One love."
Some time ago when the two singers were at loggerheads O'Connor was not so quiet about her emotions she told a newspaper at the time "I let her know not to f**k with me and I sincerely mean it."
Poor girl cant evin celebrate her wedding day with out some nosey parker's big mouth
who cares about that lunitac she' an embarrassment to ireland.she belongs in a communist country,who buys her records idiots like her
Thank to Mary and Sinead for the best laugh I have had in a week. We need more "fecking lunatics" like both of them to take our mind off the "Economy"
As they say in Ireland. "One of them is as bad as the other".
For everyone of Sinead's detractors there are thouands more who love her.
I have always had a great respect for courage and integrity. Sinead has both and I have good reason to be thankful to her for her long standing fight against child abuse. I congratulate her on her wedding and hope she will be happy. I love to hear Mary sing. Respect and good manners cost nothing.
While I find Mary Coughlan to be rude, crude, loud etc, to be fair to her this time, I do think that she didn't intend to be nasty and that it was a genuine throw away remark. Having said that, she could still have just said "good luck to her" (whether she meant it or not) and left it at that.

Dawning Digital Democracy
Michael Lind of the New America Foundation shared his views in an August 9 Salon article about the dysfunctional two-party system in the US. After starting with a view of how proportional representation voting systems accommodate more voices, he wrote about the need for a social movement to inject new issues into politics.
I agree we need a social movement and I read the piece as a call for more association. The information revolution is at the heart of the new forms of association. Lind says that, "Comprehensive, multi-generational, nation-rebuilding movements are rare". If we see the new forms of association as a movement itself, then we are at the beginning of that rare moment of change.
It's no news to say that Facebook, Twitter and other social networking platforms are bringing the world together. And you're probably aware of how technology is changing the nature of campaigning. So it should be no surprise that efforts like Americans Elect, No Labels and Ruck.us are vying to be the next big thing in digital democracy. Even though these groups go out of their way to say they're not parties, they are still a form of political association. And it's Americans Elect that recognizes the most important aspect of a party – oops! - I mean political association: providing voters a cue on the ballot itself.
Lind says it's not possible in advance to predict which of the two major national parties will be most closely associated with reform. I'll go further and say we cannot depend on either of the two crusty, soft money machines / state parties to bring change on their own.
The leading effort to reform presidential nominations is Americans Elect with their national on-line primary. This party – oops! – political group are planning on nominating then running a bi-partisan ticket with the Americans Elect imprimatur on the ballot. These folks deserve props for their landmark innovation within our blossoming digital democracy – the glaringly simple idea to use the ballot itself for a political message! It's about the most critical phase of the election; the moment the individual voter is casting a ballot. And Americans Elect seeks to lead voters to this juncture with social networking.
But there still are many institutional barriers that benefit the two major parties. It's not just about the rules; it's also in the minds of voters. Ask our own John B. Anderson about catching fire in a presidential election as an alternative to the two parties. John knows first hand how voters become afraid that their choice of an alternative might spoil the election for one candidate or another. They then run back, quite reliably, to the major parties. It's strategic voting - and that's what will hurt an independent or third party effort on the ballot.
As a result of his 1980 election experience, John B. Anderson started promoting proportional voting and other election reforms. In 1992 he helped found FairVote and for many years served as chair of its board.
Metric Perspective
Michael Lind also says that "in a country that rejected the metric system in the 1970s as un-American, the replacement of our archaic, dysfunctional and undemocratic electoral system is not going to happen soon."
We here at FairVote can relate to Lind's sentiment. The American version of proportional voting has not only been off the political radar, there are also many myths and misunderstandings (1).
I promote election reforms like Choice Voting not because I like explaining thresholds or transfer values. I want to see election rules that accommodate political association. People coming together provide the balance to the concentration of power by big money interests. And things are quite out of whack these days. To restore a balance we need ballots and ways of counting them that are more sophisticated than what we're used to.
Automobiles sold in the United States have both the Imperial and Metric scale built into their speedometers. I find this handy while driving my car in British Columbia. My point is that if a car can accommodate two systems of measurement, we need an election system that can handle the new forms of association with wider voter choices.
100 mph is a much faster rate of travel than 100 kmh. Like a speedometer that reads wrong, current election rules are not responding to the situation. This means Americans Elect can wreck the presidential election for one party or another. And, it's the strategic thinking fostered by plurality voting that wrecks elections for new approaches like AE and others (2).
The 21st Century is about communication. The convergence of technology and our democracy makes space for more voices. As voters try to make the jump from digital democracy to our 18th century electoral system, they should see the gap. Proportional voting is here to accommodate the movement towards real choices and new voices. Micheal Lind wrote a great article and I hope he keeps promoting proportional voting.
(1) American versions of proportional voting are different than European party systems. We have higher thresholds for election with ballots that are candidate based. Several cities in the US use proportional voting and versions of this kind of election have been used in Voting Rights Act settlements.
(2) Let's not forget that proportional voting is for legislative bodies and there's no constitutional barrier to using it for the US House and state legislatures.
Comments currently closed for Dawning Digital Democracy
I enjoyed the article. I would like to speak to the point that electronic media will continue to assist with correcting the US and world political corruption and promotion of false leadership. Also, that political action groups are growing in both numbers, and influence. This is a positive sign that is likely due to the sleeping people of the US are gradually waking, if for nothing other than for their very survival. A short look at the base of the grass roots operation calling themselves the Tea Party can shine light on what action groups that form a bond can produce. However, as another reader indicated, they also need some more energetic, intelligent , and connected leaders. Leaders that both know the current system but are not sucked into it. Leaders that know how it needs to be changed and are not afraid of the powers that shut-down and shut-out any REAL leaders from ever getting close to a presidential primary. From ever getting close to a powerful house or senate seat. Or, if they do manage to grab a Ways and Means, banking regulation, or Dept. of Defense leadership role, someone is inserted above them in the process to keep things in "order". Not to make our new task sound too daunting, because it can be done. Maybe it can be done with the digital communications tools, maybe with redistricting, or possibly just shimming a couple of credible candidates right up and into the bowels of the current 2 parties. In the end, it is we the people of the US that have the shear numbers to do all of that. And when just a portion of those 300+ million sheep actually wake up, and get irritated of getting pushed around by the few, that is when there will be action. That is when we will see what this Republic is made of.Posted by - Shayne , 2011-09-17 10:19:42 (2 years ago)
The phrase Digital Democracy sounds very sterile and detached. It doesn't sound like the spark that will ignite reform. People need a reason and a personal connection to that reason in order to come together. It's the message and the messenger that are missing. Think Patrick Henry. Think Dr. King. Modern social networks are just the medium. They function like yesterday's newspaper opinion pages or public bathroom stall walls.Posted by J. M. Weatherwax, 2011-09-11 17:25:28 (2 years ago)

Kevin McHale Baffled as Greg Smith Earns 3-Second Violation Tying Shoes
Sometimes, you just lose sight of what you're doing and where you are.
During the Houston Rockets' 104-92 victory over the New Orleans Hornets, Greg Smith pulled out a "not top-play contender." He also ruined head coach Kevin McHale's evening.
With 7:28 remaining in the second quarter, the Rockets prepared to set up their half-court set. As they were doing so, a whistle blew, and Smith was whistled for a three-in-the-key.
The reason he spent three seconds in the paint was simple—illogical, but still simple.
Smith was tying his shoe.
As pictured above, Kevin McHale's response was priceless.
The following bland evaluation of the play is about the only way to describe it. After all, how do you explain to your coach that you lost a possession because your shoe was untied?
Or, you didn't know where you were on the floor?
They just called a three second violation on Greg Smith for tying his shoes in the lane.
— Patrick Harrel (@PatrickHarrel) January 3, 2013
Not the most memorable moment, unless you were looking for a laugh, that is.
Then, this would count as a few bucks in the memory bank.
Fortunately for Smith, the Rockets were able to pull out the victory and move to 18-14 on the season. They're now 13-6 at home and have won nine of their past 12 games.
In all likelihood, that's going to be spoken about more than Smith's shoelace incident—or so he hopes.
The wrath of Kevin McHale is upon him.

Awesome map! I am glad I am buying this book! Cant wait for read it.
Pull list: About 23 Marvel books, Age of Bronze, Captain Midnight, Some Valiant, and many dynamite pulp books
I think Elson's a pretty good artist, his characters tend to look a bit beefier than I would like at times but his art along with the IFS colorist make for a really good pair.
That being said I REALLY miss Doug Braithwaite's art on the title, his art was just simply stunning.
Man, looks like I missed adding this to my pull list by one crucial week-- I had just been buying off the shelf, but no copies were left by the weekend. Time to wait for the reorder...
But this issue sounds great, can't wait to read it-- love JiM AND Celtic mythology!
I think Elson works as much as I miss Braithwaite. He just made this book something really special and epic. But Elson's grown on me too. He's gotten more used to the characters and is much more consistent and seems to have found a good compromise on how Loki should look.
Also, so, it's been confirmed that Ikol is Loki's "evil" side, meaning that Loki actually could be redeemed by the end of this. Or he could become evil again. Well, Gillen's definitely made this a little trickier. Also...I have this feeling that Leah's heading towards a fridge in the near future...
FAdam K- How do you read comics and sit around on this board and not know who Gorilla Man is after the last couple of years??
Boycott #1 issues!!!!!
Where is red hulk's moustache?
A few questions that might further muddy the water.
1) Didn't the Lady of the Lake say King Arthur was dead in Heroes for Hire #2? That was the most recent mention of Arthur I can remember in a Marvel comic.
2) Isn't Dafydd Apiowerth, from Doctor Strange #3, supposed to be the reincarnation of Arthur? Whatever became of him?
3) Walt Simonson's Thor revealed that there is a gateway to one of the elven realms (can't recall if it was Alfheim or Svartalfheim, but it was Maelekith's kingdom) was located in England; Cornwall I think. Does this part of the Asgardian Nine worlds intersect with Otherworld at all, or are they completely unrelated?
4) Are the Fomor still around, and if so, who's side are they on?
Hindsight lad
Yes. That was down to the writer not knowing he'd been resurrected already. The trouble is two-fold - first, it isn't uncommon for writers to unknowingly contradict stories they are unaware of, causing contradictions to arise (Mandrill got resurrected because of this, for example, because a writer used him without realising that he'd died in his last appearance). And with the UK stories being unavailable to most in the US for so long, you can't really blame the writer for not knowing about Arthur's resurrection. The second part of the problem is that characters like King Arthur, Merlin and Jack the Ripper, famous individuals of myth, legend and history (who have entered into myth to some extent in cases like the last), get used and reused by a lot of writers, usually without an awareness of what other writers have established about them, which can lead to massive contradictions arising. That's one of the reasons for handbooks - they go through all the appearances such characters have had and try to make them gell so the whole makes sense and is summarised, available when future writers want to use said characters.
As for what the Lady said, it's a quandry. Apart from anything else, the person who she was talking to when she claimed Arthur was dead was the Black Knight, who was present at Arthur's resurrection and then fought alongside him, literally back to back. So even if Niamh was unaware of Arthur's revival (seems unlikely), Dane wasn't. You can put the dialogue down to a number of possibilities: outright error or Niamh meaning that Arthur was dead on Earth (but not Otherworld).
Arthur's descendent and spiritual heir, rather than reincarnation. And he's alive and well last we saw of him. But he's on Earth, not Otherworld.
That would be Svartalfheim - Svart for black. But it wasn't a gateway to Svartalfheim in England. As Malekith's latest handbook entry explains: "In ancient times, Malekith was one of the Erl Kings of Svartalfheim's dark elves who clashed with both the Asgardian gods and Camelot's King Arthur (an associate of Britain's elves and faeries), stole children from their cots to raise as elfin servants, and led the Wild Hunt that chased down mortals for sport. At some point, Malekith's elves established a base in the ancient faerie realm beneath Britain's Cotswalds, perhaps exploiting the animosity between the Asgardians and the Tuatha de Danaan (Celtic gods), who viewed the British Isles as their domain, to keep themselves out of Asgardian reach."
Otherworld's elves are very different from the Norse Realms' variety. That said, there are points where you can pass from Otherworld to Asgard and vice versa, mostly closed up but openable to those who know how, as we saw in the Thor stories that introduced the Tuatha. And there seems to be some evidence that, while the elves are not related, some trolls and giants of each realm may have emigrated and / or crossbred with those of the other realm.
Yes, still around, and hard to say. I'd imagine their first reaction would be to think it great that these new industrial gods are causing problems for the Tuatha and other kingdoms the Fomor consider foes. However, if and when realisation hits that the new gods are also going to be threats to the Fomorian kingdoms, things might change. War makes for strange bedfellows - just ask Churchill and Stalin.
I'm catching up with this series and had questions about this issue. What exactly is the "Otherworld?" At first I thought it was a Celtic pantheon, when the All-Mother is discussing the plea, but later it made more sense to think of it as a realm of medieval/renaissance English mythology, like King Oberon from Midnight Summer Dream.
So then how does Camelot and King Arthur fit into all this? I thought they were historical figures, not mythic beings. What about Captain Britain?
From what I can gather it is a dimension/realm that is supposedly a representation of the British subconscious which is why all thous historical figures and mythic beings appear. Though I only got that from reading JIM so hopefully someone more informed will come and give a better explanation cause I also get so confused by what it is exactly.
Yeah actually I should have just read the next issue before asking; it gives a better idea. This is wonderful stuff. It's a really great spin on Sandman/American Gods as to how mythological functions in the real world.
Here's a little reading you can do to find out more on Otherworld. Love this part of Marvel and how it's been getting more focus lately. I wish there was a book that concentrated more on it.
Awesome thank you.

Quoted: A New Season
Hello all and happy new year
I was feeling a bit run down by the end of last year and so decided to take a break from social media, which ended up being more long than short. Ah well. I'm back now so onwards and upwards 2013!
The high-maintenance, high-heeled, high-handed approach is looking very Kim Kardashian. Neurotic Chic – a look formerly favoured by many a tense-looking fashion insider here – is giving way to more relaxed codes. Flat shoes – not just lower heels – are everywhere. That's radical. Flats don't only make women move differently, they allow them to move fast.

Wildlife Encounters
Near the picturesque Bute Inlet in British Columbia, Canada, the Orford River area is home to hundreds of grizzly bears. Many of them congregate around the nearby salmon-spawning estuary, where they spend the summer months fattening up for the long winter ahead. Part of the area's attraction for grizzlies is the Taggares-Homalco Hatchery, which produces more than 10 million salmon eggs each year to enhance the river's natural stock, thereby substantially improving the outcome of the bears' fishing expeditions. Visitors can spend half a day watching the bears, which can weigh up to 1,000lb (more than 70 stone), from safety platforms set up along the dramatic coastline, before spending the afternoon exploring the calm waters of Florence Lake, boating on Desolation Sound, rafting on the Inside Passage or following the bears' example and indulging in a few hours of salmon fishing – hopefully with the same success.

I Am Number Four's Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer appear to have done some division.
According to reports, Agron, who stars as Quinn Fabray on the Fox hit series Glee, moved out of the home the two shared last week.
Considering that Agron, 24, and Pettyfer, 20, never officially confirmed they were together – they dodged engagement rumors while promoting their movie – reports of why they may have split are sketchy.

Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer were first romantically linked last summer – and now the Glee star and her British beau may be taking their relationship to the next level.
A source tells PEOPLE that Agron, 24, and Pettyfer, 20, are engaged. "They're very happy about it," adds the source.
Their reps have no comment and the couple – costars in the teen-oriented sci-fi thriller I am Number Four, in theaters Feb. 18 – remain coy about their romance.
When Agron showed up at the I Am Number Four press day wearing a thin diamond band on her left ring finger, she told PEOPLE that her love life is "something I never like speaking [about]," but also shared with reporters that Pettyfer was "great" to work with "because he was so enthusiastic and so determined to give everything he had to this character." She added, "he wasn't a diva, so that was good."

Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer's relationship is off on the right foot.
Not only did the English-bred actor, 20, wow Agron's Glee costar Jayma Mays with his good looks and personality, but he also bonded with her husband Adam Campbell.
"[Alex] came on set, and my husband was there that day, so we introduced the Brit to the Brit," Mays, 31, told PEOPLE at Entertainment Weekly's Women in Film Pre-Emmy's bash Friday night in West Hollywood. "Brits hang tight. That's how they are."

It was June 1966 when Stokely Carmichael coined a phrase that shook America. The 25-year-old civil rights leader had just been released from jail—his 27th arrest—after a march in Greenwood, Miss. "We've been saying 'Freedom' for six years," he told a crowd of 3,000. "What we are going to start saying now is 'Black Power!' "
That call for black solidarity and self-determination inspired many, alarmed others and defined Carmichael's rebellious spirit, which remained intact until his death on Nov. 15 at age 57 after a long battle with prostate cancer. "He was one of the most principled people I ever met," says David Brothers, a former Black Panther colleague. "He never wavered."
The son of a Trinidadian carpenter and a domestic, Carmichael began battling segregation while attending Howard University in Washington, D.C., helping to register rural black voters as a member, and later chairman, of the then-powerful Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. "We showed that protest can change things," Carmichael said in 1996.
But his call for black separatism struck Martin Luther King Jr. and others as too militant. Disillusioned, Carmichael moved to Guinea, in West Africa, in 1969, changing his name to Kwame Turé and striving for a united Africa. Twice divorced (from singer Miriam Makeba and Marlyatou Barry) and the father of two sons, "he worked for Africa from sunrise to sunset," his son Bocar, 17, told PEOPLE. "So as long as Africa exists, he lives."

Rep. Howard Berman announced that he had the support of Sens. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Berman, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also secured the backing of Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
"Howard Berman is a man of determination and honor," McCain said in a statement. "He works to keep America safe, and our country is stronger with him in Congress."
Graham praised the 15-term Democrat for his bipartisanship, his work to stop the spread of nuclear weapons and his efforts to stop arms sales to nations that back terrorism. Lieberman said that when Israel's leadership "needs a friend in Congress, that ally is Howard Berman."
The three lawmakers are close friends and some of the most prominent voices in the Senate on national security. All three are members of the Armed Services Committee; McCain is the panel's top Republican.
The endorsements are unusual in a House race, especially one that pits a Democrat against another. The redrawing of congressional boundaries created a Los Angeles area contest between Berman and eight-term Rep. Brad Sherman, both members of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Under the California primary system, the top two finishers advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation. In this case, it was Berman and Sherman.
Berman also has the endorsement of California's top Democrats—Gov. Jerry Brown and Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein.

I really hope there will be a 3rd series.

Otherwise fantastic!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Good follow up to series 1
By a customer from London , 27 Jul 2010More of the same. Some good character development and solid scripts.
Yes it misses a couple of obvious points about the group simply going to find a farm and living happily ever after, and also that surely a good plan would be to wander down to the nearest army camp and wander out with whatever guns you feel like having for protection. Excluding that, good stuff.- Was this review helpful to you?

I always loved my baby, but I must admit mothering has gotten a lot funner as time presses on.
During the first 6 weeks of bleary-eyed sleeplessness, I wondered (as a first time mom) if I ever would hear something more than a low grunt coming out of my adorable little baby.
My jaw literally dropped the day I heard her make a sweet, baby-like "coo." It was the most beautiful sound in the world as far as I was concerned.
Then just the other day, her grandmother was visiting, and playing pat-a-cake with her, and you know what? My little baby clapped her hands on her own to the song!
It was magic.
To see such blatant evidence that those baby wheels were turning was amazing to me. I called for my husband to come see, I ran to get the cam corder.
It was an official "proud parent" moment.
Since that break through, she hasn't been able to stop "pat-a-cake-ing." She is so excited about the accomplishment.
Seeing as this has been so much fun and wonder-full, I can hardly imagine the amazement of seeing her do anything more.

2 Notes
Americans doing typically American things, Part II
So you're going to Africa, right? Well, you have to go on safari. It is the land of the lions and elephants and tigers. Wait, no tigers—that's India. Monkeys, hippos. Everyone wants to pretend like they are in Out of Africa. Well, we Americans are no different. But I gotta admit I'm pretty safari-ed out.
Big Party Safari
The safaris began a little over a month ago when Interstudy took us on a little weekend excursion (if you recall, our first installment Americans doing Typically American Things, Part 1). We were taken to a safari about twenty minutes from Touws River, a place called Aquila Game Reserve (advertised as only 2 hours from Cape Town and Malaria-free!).
The grounds were like putting greens of matted grass (what it must have cost to keep the grass so green I cant fathom). There was a rock swimming pool and a deck with chairs and cushions. The main lodge had twenty foot ceilings with walls covered in hangings of game and antlers and a large ominous fiery red pastel painting of a lion.
The food was…well I'm going to need a whole paragraph to describe it. A large buffet of many different African dishes—bobotie, lamb shanks, steak. There was a selection of five or six salads (these are like American BBQ salads like Potato Salad or Pasta Salad, lots of mayo lots of vegetables and a grain). There was a cheese platter of no less than seven cheeses (blue cheese, goat, cheddar, Gouda, etc)—also crackers, many types of breads plus a potato dish and a rice dish. Coffee, several pies, tiramisù, ice cream and chopped fruit topped off dessert. Breakfast the next morning was just as expansive with all the works (eggs, bacon, sausage etc).
The safari was underwhelming. You are taken out on these large tour bus/safari vehicles like converted Humvees (built for 20-30 people) and driven into the separate gated reserve area. The land is devoid of most vegetation and it is entirely too groomed, not natural. The animals are all grouped together in separate areas as if it is their predetermined spot. This suspicion was somewhat confirmed when we were taken into the separate fenced lion area, perhaps a ⅓ of the area of the first area. The lions crowded around each truck, clearly irritated, glaring at us. They even followed the other truck around as the inexperienced driver tried to do what our guide said is the exact wrong thing to—drive away faster from the lion. The lions, we learned, are fed a percentage of their meat intake by Aquila. We were told that percentage is less than ten percent but I'm just saying I didn't see any prey in the lion area.
The little huts along the property each had an outdoor and indoor shower, very comfortable beds, down blankets and pillows, many outlets and a coffee maker.
Its good to be the King
The next safari adventure came this past week when the family came to visit. As is customary on all twenty-first birthdays in South Africa, we went on safari. This time to a place around an hour and half from Port Elizabeth called Blauwbosch Game Reserve. The reserve is in the middle of farm country, the beginning of the South African Karoo (semi-desert, lush after rainstorms, dusty and grey in droughts).
Blauwbosch is actually situated on a converted sheep farm. The owners bought other land in the area that had fallen out of use for farming purposes, connected the numerous properties into a vast empty land with the natural curves of the geography (hills and massive rocks with a few rocky fields in between).
The main lodge has the typical warm safari, African feel to it (think Jumanji). There is a fire place and large armchairs and board games in leather cases. The reception room leads out to an open air room containing the bar (featuring numerous local wines plus beer and spirits), a dining room, and a seating area with leather bound photography and nature books about the animals and African landscape—great during the 6am coffee wake up. The seating area is open to the outside, looking out onto the grass lawn and pool and the wide open hills and fields as the backdrop.
We arrived around 3pm, a group of hungry (and ere go angry) Americans. We were immediately informed that it was 3pm tea time, which meant a variety of puff pastries, a pecan pie, fruit, iced tea and lemonade. After eating all of the beef filled pastries and half eating a quiche, we were taken on safari.
We introduced to our soft-spoken guide Billiard and the tracker, his brother whose name escapes me. We were taken in low-to the-ground trucks that on a full week would carry 9 people or so but because we were the only people staying there (its the off-season, we were told), it was only four of us plus our guide and the tracker, who sat on a chair attached to the front of the truck—I'm guessing he was lion bait. The roads were more like foot paths that we drove over—that truck could handle anything. Our first game drive saw rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and the ever present springboks, impala and oryx. The night led into a lightning storm and a multicolored sunset like something out of The Lion King.
When we got back and I finally took a second to look at our room, I knew that I was the king, if not The Lion King. High ceilings a large king bed with feather blankets, a large bathtub, indoor and outdoor shower and a bed on the deck outside, which was secluded from all the other huts—and to think it was all wasted, having to share it with my brother. Mark this place down as a honeymoon destination.
The food was excellent if a little too fancy for its own good. The cuisine was likely French-inspired with lots of sauces, game meat and a heavy emphasis on presentation (seriously, these dishes looked like something out of a cookbook). It was nice to go out on a game drive, see some impala, see some oryx and then have it for dinner that night (there were also more pedestrian options such as chicken and beef dishes but really, if you're gonna go on safari, how can you not eat the game meat).
The second day (my birthday), Corey fell ill with a stomach virus and was MIA for (I hate to make him feel like he missed stuff but) our best game drive. Billiard took us all over the property, tracked down the missing lions (they had not been seen for several days) and we watched from a far, a lion family picnic in the sun. This was followed by a birthday brunch on top of a mountain with mimosas, a cheese and charcuterie platter, yogurt, granola and fruit. Not to mention a full plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, mushrooms and a roasted tomato. With wicker chairs, a sun umbrella, table clothes and some fancy cutlery. On top of a mountain. Its good to be king.
Each game drive was great, with different animals seen each time—though by the end of it, I'd seen enough zebras, springboks, impala, gemsbok and antelopes. The lions were terrifying (the male gave us a little roar, kind of like a Boo!). The monkeys were hilarious, shouting and screeching at each other. The elephants lazed around eating prickly pears all day on top of the mountains like a bunch of Dumbos. Our guide originally had some trouble finding the elephants on the property. The manager apologized for the trouble but Ell told him, "If you feed us anymore, you wont have to look for the elephants. They're right here."
Safari-ed out
The next day we left Blauwbosch after a final morning game drive and drove to Addo National Elephant Park. Its odd how much Addo feels like an American national park, from the brown or beige trail signs to the folded park map handed with every ticket that has pictures of each animal with a checkbox next to it so that you can mark off the ones you've seen. You can drive in whatever car you bring—the roads alternate from dirt to paved but never require 4x4—or you can take a guided tour.
We opted to drive and followed a friendly driver's directions to the Gorah Loop, where in a field, stood no less than sixty to eighty elephants. Pretty incredible. There were also many zebras, antelopes, birds and a lot of Timon and Pumbas (meerkats and warthogs, respectively). We also came within fifty feet of a Rooircat/Caracal, which looks somewhat like a bobcat. Also who could forget the infamous Dung Beetle, which we were reminded to watch out for on the road (ie don't drive over the elephant dung, which there is lots of).
We drove for about three hours through the park and that was more than enough. There are lions on the park but as they are free-roaming, so you are unlikely to see them.
Phew. Never ask me to write about a safari ever again.

It's about time the comparison these anti-bike businesses make between the construction of the trolley line and the creation of a dedicated bike lane is revealed for what it is: A GREAT, BIG, FAT LIE!
Madison Avenue was literally torn up for months while the trolley line was put in. The implementation of a dedicated bike lane won't cause ANY disruption whatsoever, especially since it will just be a part of the resurfacing of the street, which would have happened anyway, regardless of these merchants' opposition to the bike lane.
If nothing else proved how BOGUS this opposition is, the involvement of Janis Fullilove should. She had no business sticking her nose where it didn't belong, especially since this area is not in her district and none of the objecting business people are her constituents.
It's time for Mayor Wharton to put his money where his mouth is. He says making Memphis bike-friendly is one of his priorities (as it should be if he wants to see the city become more livable); now let's see him prove it.

1988, two kids on Welfare and the unthinkable…a new NES
By Jonathan Lovelace
To say that we were poor when I was a child was an understatement. We went years without a phone, often lived off food stamps/church hand-outs and almost every spring, when the average temp was over 50…we lost our power until my parents could pay the power company to turn it back on. The power outages translated to weeks of candlelight and using our charcoal grill for everything from cooking dinner to heating bath water at night. We were really that poor.
As children my sister and I never had two dimes to rub together…we never had the newest toys, we never had anything even remotely close to "high tech". Just look at it this way, my parents didn't get their first VCR until 1996.
Christmas was normally an exercise in frustration but we never showed it, our parents tried hard to make a good experience for us and we would never spoil it by acting ungrateful. Quite often we'd get a small toy (a GI Joe for me, a Barbie for my sister) and something needed like a pair of pants. More often than not, that was it.
Christmas of 1988 came and it wasn't unlike any other. Most of my friends had the NES at that point and to me, it was like lusting after a Ferrari. If I remember correctly the Action Set was close to two month's rent for us. It remained a dream that was unattainable for a kid in 5th grade with no job and living on Welfare.
That year we had the atypical Christmas morning with the stocking filled with a random candy and the small gifts. The entire time I was soured by the thought of my buddy getting his NES for Christmas a week early and to be honest with you, it kind of ruined my morning. The thought of him sitting at home playing Mario Bros and Metroid made my blood boil…he was one of those kids that got everything he ever wanted and it often made me sick just thinking about it.
After the presents, we ate breakfast (like always) and afterwards my father announced that they had "One more present for the both of us"…
We were instructed to sit on the couch and close our eyes. This was not a normal Christmas affair so we were excited to put it mildly. My dad walked off and there was a rustle in the background, after a few seconds my father stepped back into the room.
"Ok kids…you can look."
I gazed and what I saw simply could not be explained, there our father stood with a NES Action Set. If it were possible for a perfectly normal 11 year old to have a heart attack…I would have keeled over dead right then an there.
Jonathan, the poor kid in town actually had the "one" toy everyone wanted. Like waking up to a Ferrari Enzo in the garage, we had the unattainable. A NES…
Words cannot explain that feeling…possibly like winning the lottery but on a kid's level. I was in shock.
That day, I played Super Mario Bros until my fingers bled (not really but you know the feeling) and to this day, Christmas of '88 has been the best one of my life. On top of that, I am still a Nintendo nut.
As for the amazing gift, it turned out a well off family at our church had caught wind of our Christmas wish somehow and decided to buy it for us…that is quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me, a clean act of selfless generosity. If they only would have known the obsession they had started in my life with that simple gift…
To this day, this photo sits right next to my computer to remind me of not only that Christmas, but to keep me from forgetting exactly where I've came from and what effect even the most simple act of generosity can have in changing someone's life.

Other resources:
For each of these VHD Breeds, there typically are specific breed clubs, many of which have their own web sites, national organizations and references for finding breeders who can offer litter availability, training advice, behavioral characteristics, medical issues and other more detailed information than can be found here.
We encourage you to take advantage of these resources.
Greatland NAVHDA
Promoting versatile hunting dogs
in Alaska
The breeds shown below are those recognized by NAVHDA International as versatile hunting dogs, and are the breeds that can participate in NAVHDA-sanctioned Tests, gain entry into the NAVHDA stud book, and be awarded NAVHDA Prizes.
For each breed below that is owned by a member of the Greatland NAVHDA Chapter, the owner's names are shown with a link for sending an eMail. Please feel free to contact these members who will gladly share their experience with the individual dogs(s) they own. This might be helpful if you are considering acquiring a particular breed based on reputation or appearance and you would like to gain better insight into specific behavioral attributes and hunting skills.
German Shorthaired Pointer (GS):
In less than 50 years the German shorthaired pointer has become one of this country's most popular gun dogs. He earned that reputation gradually--without fanfare or ballyhoo--on his own merits. The shorthair is capable of a finished performance in a variety of hunting situations. He has a great nose along with much desire and ability, coupled with speed, stamina, style and guts. Intelligence and desire to please are two of his most valued assets. He is a near-perfect all around gun dog for the foot-hunter as he adapts his range to the cover and the terrain. His versatility in no way interferes with his companionship around the home. His affectionate and playful nature make a big hit with the kids, his intelligence and shorthaired cleanliness is appreciated in the house.
Chapter members owning this breed: Tanya Gates, Jay Parker, Peggie Bensch, Buck Kuhn, Ron Williams, Bud Goodnight, Jane & Pete Nelson, Doug Koenig, Jon Marcott
German Longhaired Pointer (GL):
The German Longhair Pointer is a pointing spaniel. The roots of this breed can be found in Medieval times. The German Longhair has been an established breed for over 100 years and is considered one of the continental / versatile breeds. Traditionally, these dogs were used to locate and point birds that were then caught with the use of a net or with the assistance of a falcon. Today, longhairs are still used to locate and point birds, as well as retrieve shot game. Depending on the type and abundance of game in a given area, the longhair is used for hunting everything from ptarmigan and ducks to furred game animals.
The German Longhair is both a good field and water dog that excels at work after the shot. Characteristics that originally attracted many owners to the breed were their strong pointing instinct and exceptional water work. Another defining characteristic of the breed is a calm, cooperative temperament. Longhairs work for their owners and should be easy to train. The ability of GL's in the field and water, along with their easygoing temperament, makes them well-suited for hunting in North America. German Longhair owners are proud of their good-looking gun dogs that perform at a high level in the field or the water, just as the breed was originally intended.
German Wirehaired Pointer (GW):
GWP's trace their origins back about 120 years. They originated in Germany, where breeders wanted to develop a rugged, versatile hunting dog that would work closely with either one person or a small party of persons hunting on foot in varied terrain; from the mountainous regions of the Alps, to dense forests, to more open areas with farms and small towns. The breed the Germans desired had to have a coat that would protect the dogs when working in heavy cover or in cold water, yet be easy to maintain. The goal was to develop a wire-coated, medium sized dog that could:
Search for, locate and point upland game
Work both feather and fur with equal skill
Retrieve water fowl
Be a close-working, easily trained gun dog
Be able to track and locate wounded game
Be fearless when hunting 'sharp' game such as fox
Be a devoted companion and pet; and
Be a watchdog for its owners family and property.
Chapter members owning this breed: Jeff Daigneau, Judy Deaver, Lee Renfrew, John Haddix, Greg & Rita Brenner, Keith Woodworth, Nicholas Van Wyck, Peg Brawner, Russ Jennings, Roger Hull, and Tom St. Clair
Weimaraner (WM):
Weimaraners are very energetic animals...they are bred to hunt all day with their master. Changing this behavior changes the essential Weim. If you can not deal with this behavior, you should look at other breeds less rambunctious!
Weims are not soft mouthed like a Golden Retriever or Irish Setter. They are still the game hunter and some Weims have a low tolerance for small fur bearing animals including cats and small dogs. Changing this behavior again changes the basic temperament of the dog.
Weims can bark and if you are away from them too much and they are left to themselves, Weimaraners are like any other lonely dog, they will bark incessantly and develop bad habits or try escaping their surroundings.
Although Weimaraners are hunting dogs, they do not like living outdoors. They require your attention. They are the true, loyal, hunting companions in every respect, needing your friendship. Chaining a Weim outside will not work!
Vizsla (VI):
The Hungarian or Magyar Vizsla represents one of the best in sporting dogs and loyal companions and has a strong claim to being one of the smallest of the all-round pointer-retriever breeds. His size is one of the Vizsla's most attractive characteristics and through the centuries he has held a unique position for a sporting dog -- that of household companion and family dog. The Vizsla is not content to be "put in the kennel with the dogs" after the hunt and only reaches his fullest capacity when he is a member of the family he serves.
Wirehaired Vizsla (WV):
They are a relatively rare breed that is versatile, working as well in water as on land, and are becoming popular as a hunting dog due to their steadfastness and quick learning ability. They are also becoming popular with falconers as their temperament appears to suit this discipline.
Small Munsterlander (SM):
The Small Munsterlander is for the most part easy to train and makes a great family companion. Its loyalty and affection are second to none. However it must be remembered that this is an active and intelligent breed so it naturally will require adequate exercise and mental stimulation when fully matured. This should include roadwork and swimming when possible. Most importantly hunting, hunting and more hunting. If left alone Small Munsterlanders have been known to start hunting on their own.

Large Munsterlander (LM):
This field dog characteristically is calm, gentle with children and well adjusted to living in the master's dwelling. The versatile characteristics of the LM provide for a reliable companion for all facets of hunting. A recent comparison of the scores of 82 LMs with 104 other versatile breeds entered in NAVHDA tests showed that the Large Munsterlander is a versatile dog with a difference. On average, LMs work closer and are more responsive to the handler than other breeds although the LM's pointing instinct matures later. The LM displayed greater cooperation than other breeds and an excellent concentration in the tracking and recovery of crippled game birds. During search for game, most LMs range 50-150 yards, depending on cover. Their long and thick coat protects them against cold and allows them to search dense cover thoroughly.

Brittany (BS):
Brittany's can make excellent family dogs and excel in many areas, but they require personal attention every day, training and most do not make good "kennel" or outdoor dogs because of their personal devotion to their owner. On the other hand, their medium size, wash-and-wear coat, and happy, intelligent temperament make them an ideal family dog. Brittany's also make excellent hunting companions or pets for single people. Most get along very well with other dogs, and many love the challenges of different types of competition.
Do not get any dog on impulse. If you are very serious about getting a Brittany, you should be willing "shop around" and/or wait for the right one for your family and/or your needs and wants. These are long-lived dogs (average 12-14) and you should only get one with the intention of caring it for its entire lifetime. The more time you put into your dog's socialization and training, the more it will give back to you.
Pudelpointer (PP):
The idea behind this breeding was to combine the outstanding natural working abilities of two great specialists in one dog:
The intelligence, water love, retrieving instinct, easy trainability and willingness to please, wrapped into the protective coat of the Poodle with the unending desire to hunt, birdiness, pointing instinct, field nose and endurance of the English Pointer.
The Pudelpointer in its home country Germany, has always ranked among the finest performers in tests and in the field, and is sought by those who enjoy and value a dog with desire and drive. Pudelpointers are predominantly solid in color, from dark brown to the color of autumn leaves, and occasionally black. The ideal coat is harsh, wiry and dense.
Through its strict breeding guidelines, pups are produced which are reliable on many different kinds of game under varying conditions of terrain and weather.
A sound temperament, as well as a style pleasing to the eye, makes the Pudelpointer a great companion both in the field and the home. They take to training easily, despite their desire and drive.
Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (GR):
The Griffon is a very people oriented dog known for its trainability and high degree of cooperation. The Griffon has a great love for the field and is an excellent swimmer. With its keen nose it is also particularly suited to tracking. The fun loving side of its personality enjoys agility training. The Griff's outgoing personality makes it well-suited as a family pet and great with children. Overall, the Griffon is one of the best-kept secrets in the Sporting Group and is the ultimate VERSATILE hunting companion.

Spinone (SP):
The Spinone is a large, rugged dog of distinctive appearance. He has a distinctive head, with hanging ears and eyes described as "human like." In body he is a substantial, strong boned dog with a square build. Everything about this breed indicates great strength as well as stamina. This versatile breed is suited for hunting in all climates and on all terrain. Its harsh coat and thick skin protects it in the field, water and freezing temperatures. It is an excellent swimmer and a model retriever.

Bracco Italiano (BI):
The Bracco Italiano is one of only two native Italian gun dog breeds. The Bracco is a classic, ancient breed, considered an antecedent of many of today's modern sporting dogs.
They are a strong, deep chested dog with muscular hindquarters. Their coat is glossy, short, dense and fine, and comes in all white, orange and white, orange roan, a bronze /brown with white.
Admired as an all-purpose family gun dog, docile in the home, obedient and loyal, making a fine hunting companion, becoming energetic when he hears birds or a gun. Happiest when doing a job and is a true, sporting dog, not suitable for homes where his hunting ability is allowed to go to waste.
A strong and powerful animal, combined with a friendly nature and the need to please. Very distinct even in the hunt, head held high with a noble expression.
They have superb noses, being an "air scenting" breed, and hold a staunch point as retrieve well to hand. When hunting, the Bracco appears to be "led by his nose." They are tireless in the field and appear not to expend energy unnecessarily. They enjoy water, are strong swimmers and can prove to be quite versatile.
Braque d' Auvergne (BA):
The Braque d'Auvergne Pointer is a rare versatile hunting dog breed from France. They have been a homogeneous breed since the late 1700's. And, have made a recovery since World War II from appoximately 25 specimens.
They are strong natural hunters, great companions. They point, track, retrieve and with proper exposure love the water. As a hunter they are close working hunters, checking with their partner frequently.
In family life they do their best as a member of the household. They are very affectionate, intelligent, athletic and soft natured.
Braque Francais (BF):
The Braque Francais is a French pointing dog that is well-known in France and other parts of Europe. The Braque Francais, which translates to French Pointer in English, is an ancient breed. It is a direct descendant of the very first pointing dog, the Spanish Pointer. The breed not only contributed to all of the French pointing breeds such as the Braque du Bourbonnais, but is also contributed to all of the shorthaired dogs of Continental Europe.
The Braque Francais is registered through the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA.) This breed is a high performing versatile hunting dogs for the foot hunter. The traits include a strong pointing instinct, tracking ability, reliable retrieving from both land and water and responsiveness to their handler and one that encompasses the best qualities of a family companion.
This breed's standard temperament is best described as a "Gentleman by Nature". However, it can also be strong-willed and mischievous, especially if coming from working/field breeding lines. English Setters are energetic, people-oriented dogs, that are well suited to families who can give them attention and activity, or to working with a hunter, where they have a job to do. They are active dogs that need plenty of exercise and up to two hours a day of exercise is recommended. Inside they tend to be lower energy and love to be couch potatoes and lap dogs; the breed is described as "intensely friendly," "good natured," and "adores visitors and is particularly happy with children."
English Setters are very intelligent and can be trained to perform about any task another breed can do, with the exception of herding. However, they are not always easy to train, as their natural bird instinct tends to distract them in outdoor environments. Their temperament is considered to be gentle and as English Setters can be very sensitive to criticism, positive reinforcement training methods using treats and praise work best when undertaking basic training.

Calm, even-tempered and intelligent, French Spaniels enjoy the company of their owners. They are gentle with children, making great pets. Rustic looking, relatively tall and powerfully built. The French Spaniel trains well but is easily intimidated. Training should be gentle, firm and consistent. They need human companionship and lots of exercise. Known and appreciated for their hunting skills, the French Spaniel works well on rugged terrain and in the water as a flusher. French Spaniels are good retrievers and point very precisely. Hunting at a gallop or extended trot, the French Spaniel has an excellent nose, but has less speed and a more limited search range than the Brittany. They are enthusiastic hunting dogs, persistent, hardy and courageous. This breed gets along well with other dogs. It is important owners are even-tempered, but firm and consistent with the rules for the dog.

Gordon Setter (GO)
The Gordon Setter is distinguished both for its loyalty and obedience. A polite, mild-tempered, devoted dog, making enjoyable companions that are excellent with children. Intelligent and willing, they are a skilled hunter that is seldom wrong about a scent. Brave, cheerful and affectionate. This breed needs lots of exercise or it may become high-strung. Loyal to the family, but can be distant with strangers. Generally good with other pets but may try to dominate if it is lacking in human leadership. This breed likes to roam, so it is a good idea to have a fenced-in yard. Train early with good leadership before bad habits set in.Training these dogs is certainly not difficult, provided the owners are firm, but calm. If they sense the owners are meek or passive they will become stubborn.

The history of the Pointer, like many breeds, is a reasonably debatable topic. Records of Pointers in England trace as far back as 1650. According to one source, the Pointer came to be in the 16th and 17th centuries, when pointing breeds, including the Spanish pointer, were brought from the European mainland to England.
Through both history and anatomical evaluation, at least four breeds appear to have been instrumental in Pointer crosses: Greyhounds, Foxhounds, Bloodhounds, and Bull Terriers. Each of these were established breeds with unique qualities the Pointer could use to do its job.
Pointers were brought to the United States, where the breed flourished in the abundant open hunting land. At that time (late 1800s), the Setter was considered to be the bird-hunting dog and pointers were not even permitted to compete in field trials with setters. Around 1910, however, the Pointer began to beat the Setter at its own game. The Pointer has dominated the pointing breed field trials since then.
One of the earliest dogs to exert influence on the breed in the US was a dog imported from England in 1876 – "Sensation". He is well known as the dog on the emblem of the Westminster Kennel Club.
One modern American kennel, established in 1936, and known for breeding large quantities of Pointers, Elhew Kennels produced a popular and successful line of gun dogs. Elhew pointers were well-known competitors at field trials for several decades.
In the southern United States, where the dog is so dominant it is often simply referred to as the "bird dog," Pointers are found in abundance. The bobwhite quail is the primary game bird there, and is considered classic English Pointer game, as the bobwhite will hold well for a pointing dog. Pointers also work game birds such as pheasant, grouse, and woodcock with success.
The Slovakian Wireaired Pointer is an all purpose working breed that was developed in Czechoslovakia after WWII. This dog is believed to be an amalgamation of the Weimaraner, the German Wirehaired Pointer and the Cesky Fousek. This recently developed hunting, pointing and retrieving dog is recognized in Slovakia as the Slovensky Hrubosrsky (Ohar) or Slovensky Ohar Hrubosrsty. However, outside its country of origin, the breed answers to a number of confusingly similar names. The SRHP is also known as Slovakian Wirehaired Pointing Griffon thus it is often confused with the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Both are distinct breeds. This versatile HPR dog is a real asset to any hunter and is capable of working under difficult conditions... be it on land or water. This natural tracker has a superb nose and an inherent determination to follow both air and ground scents. With its physical size, stamina and a good pace this dog can tirelessly cover large tracts of land. The thick coat protects the dog when it hunts in areas covered with heavy undergrowth. This breed is equally adept retrieving in water. Steady at point, the dog is also an excellent after the shot dog and will unerringly retrieve fallen game. The dog is highly valued by Slovakian hunters as the dog is biddable and focused in the field. However, this breed has other desirable attributes as well. The dog is loving, loyal and noted to have a calm temperament inside the house. Highly intelligent, this breed is easy to train. A Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer does not have genetic health problems. This hardy breed has a life span of 14 to 15 years.

Colorado tailbacks didn't find much room to run against Colorado State on Sunday.
The Buffaloes are hoping to fix that as they head into the home opener on Saturday against Central Arkansas.
"I think there are some things that we can do better in the backfield at running back, in terms of being on our tracks and pressing some of the angles a little bit better and running through some arm tackles," CU running backs coach Klayton Adams said. "This week in the backfield we really focused on those things and I think that we can definitely improve as we go."
CU finished with 109 rushing yards, but only 74 of those came from the tailbacks, on 30 carries (2.47 yards per rush). The longest run by a tailback was a 9-yarder from Tony Jones.
A healthy Christian Powell will help. The sophomore starter led the team with 42 yards on 15 carries, but was hobbled in the second half by a thigh bruise. He said Thursday that he'll be ready to go Saturday.
"I've been getting it taken care of, so it's nothing too big," he said.
Powell said he believes he and the other backs have the ability to put up some bigger numbers on the ground.
"You just work at it," he said. "It's what we work at in practice every day. You've just got to be patient with it and it'll come."
Powell and Jones (13 carries for 27 yards) both got a lot of touches last week, and head coach Mike MacIntyre said he could see Donta Abron (two carries for 5 yards) getting more attempts.
Spreading the ball around among the tailbacks could be common all season.
"When you're trying to put some drives together, which is part of our philosophy, the fresher the guy you've got in there, sometimes it's going to make the difference on getting to a hole a little bit faster or getting around an edge a little bit faster," Adams said. "We have the depth to definitely be able to do that."
Powell, who led the Buffs with 691 yards as a true freshman last year, said he's more than happy to share the load.
"I like that, because it's good for all of us," he said. "We can throw new guys in there, so that way we get a lot of reps, but we stay fresh."

One of my favorites performers
NP Rank:
Elvis Presley Died on August 16, 1977
If Elvis Presley were alive today, he would only be 77 years old. Elvis died at his home, Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, from a drug overdose. At the time, his career was in decline.
Though he recorded prolifically during his final years, his shows grew shorter and he went through several medical emergencies, including two comas.
Elvis Presley: 32nd Anniversary of Elvis' Death
Graceland Vigil
Fans braved triple-digit heat to show up at Graceland for a candlelight vigil and procession on the night of August 15.
The level of fan dedication shows the profound effect that Elvis Presley's persona and music has had on popular culture- not just on American fans, but all around the world.
Fivelson, 58, said he takes pride in being "a die-hard Elvis loyalist" who listens to the American icon's music every day. His granddaughter's name is Presley."I miss him, I loved him," said Fivelson, a substitute teacher. "To be part of the Elvis experience and the aura of the whole thing, just means everything in the world to me."
It's not too trite to say that the atmosphere was almost religious – the candles, the worshipping of the dead, the music (his music), the pilgrims' extraordinarily erudite knowledge about the worshipped one. "That's where he got his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches," said one as we passed a downtown diner in a shared cab.

In search of: Kyryl Natyazhko
Thursday, January 27th, 2011Hopes were high for Arizona Wildcats sophomore center Kyryl Natyazhko. And with good reason.
He wasn't expected to turn into an All-Pac-10 player or anything like that, but he looked like a key part of the rotation following a productive summer playing for his native Ukraine at U-20 European Championships.
He averaged 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks for Ukraine. These weren't summer-league pickup games. Those numbers were supposed to translate into a solid sophomore season, right? Arizona coach Sean Miller talked in the preseason about being hopeful that Natyazhko was one of the guys who make dramatic improvement from one year to the next.
But as the Wildcats head into tonight's big conference home game against UCLA, the player that Miller counts on for size and minutes in relief of Derrick Williams, has hit a low point. He's nearly disappeared.
