Lundquist makes last trip home as Bemidji captain
Soon to cap off her final season of women's collegiate ice hockey, Sadie Lundquist, a senior center at Bemidji State University, recently returned home when the Beavers played the University of Minnesota Duluth last weekend at Amsoil Arena.By: Tyler Korby, Pine Journal
As common as it is to find toddlers playing with toys, Kelly Lundquist would often discover her daughter, Sadie, skating around their Cloquet basement in oversized rollerblades.
"She was always playing, it was such a natural thing to her," Kelly said. "We'd find her with rollerblades up to her kneecaps."
Soon to cap off her final season of women's collegiate ice hockey, Sadie Lundquist, a senior center at Bemidji State University, recently returned home when the Beavers played the University of Minnesota Duluth last weekend at Amsoil Arena.
Lundquist, a captain, is tied for the team lead with 10 assists and four goals for 14 points in 24 games this winter. Although she didn't score in the Beavers' 3-0 and 4-2 losses Friday and Saturday, Lundquist said coming home a final time was a treat.
Kelly noted all of Sadie's teammates and coaches came to Cloquet Thursday night for dinner at their family-owned Gordy's Warming House in town. Chicken, spaghetti, ziti, soup and – of course – ice cream were all enjoyed during the annual pre-series meal.
Once the puck dropped Friday, Kelly said she, husband Dan, son Sever, and daughters Rosalie, Anna and her husband, Eric, were all in attendance along with a host of friends and relatives.
"It's the closest that Sadie gets to home," Kelly said. "A lot of people like to go watch... friends, family, even old teachers."
Sadie taught herself the sport growing up on her family's backyard rink, complete with ice, boards and even lights. She said her first memories of hockey were with her oldest brother, Danny.
"My grandparents bought Danny a crappy, off-brand pair of skates and from then on, we all just picked up hockey, I guess," Sadie said Tuesday night while watching the Minnesota Wild. "It suits us all well. We all love it. It's the main part of our life."
Anna is the only one of five siblings who wasn't in the sport, as Danny and Sever played for Cloquet-Esko-Carlton, while Sadie led the Lumberjack girls to three state tournaments in five years. Rosalie, the youngest, is now an eighth-grade center for CEC.
Dan Lundquist – also watching the Wild during the Tuesday interview – said some of their family's best get-togethers have been because of hockey. He and Kelly have been to a majority of Sadie's games over time, traveling across all of Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and, Kelly added, eastward to both Maine and Rhode Island.
"And every time she's in Bemidji, we're there," Kelly said.
"She's played every game for the last four years, and faced off against some of the world's best Olympians," Dan added. "She knows the game so well and gives 100 percent each time. No matter what sport it is, she loves it – hockey, especially."
"I'm proud I play hockey in the state of Minnesota," Sadie said. "Hockey has been great to me. I've been skating
since I could walk. When it's over, I don't know what I'm going to do."
Perhaps she'll go back to her rollerblades, where it all started.

NFC East wide open after Redskins top Giants 17-16
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — There was the fumble by Robert Griffin III that turned into a Washington Redskins touchdown. There was the fumble by teammate Alfred Morris that led to a melee of leg-pulling followed by a kick to the midsection and something dangerously close to a stomp.
The quartet of flawed teams that make up the NFC East sure do make things interesting.
The division title that seemingly belonged to the New York Giants is up for grabs after their 17-16 loss Monday night to the Redskins, who are back in the running thanks to a rookie quarterback and a three-game winning streak.

New Italian and German medical advice papers available 26 Apr 2011 The UIAA Medical Commission has increased the number of its advice and recommendation papers available in Italian and German. Italian climbers or trekkers now have information available in their language about the advantages and disadvantages of hiking with telescopic sticks, and correct walking techniques. Also newly published in Italian is the paper on working in hypoxic conditions. More and more people, and not just climbers at high altitude, can be affected by hypoxia, which is when the body is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen.
German readers can now benefit from all of the 20 papers. The last to be translated into German deals with eye problems on expeditions, and how to recognise warning signs and treat the conditions. The comprehensive series of recommendation papers have been compiled by the UIAA Medical Commission, a global forum of doctors who meet regularly to up date information on medical issues related to the mountains. The documents provide essential tips on issues of importance to mountaineers or anyone going to high altitude. Besides English, German and Italian, many are also available in Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese and Polish. |

The Baby Boks suffered the heartbreak of conceding a last-minute try to be edged out of the Junior World Championships by Wales.
Inspired by talented back Jordan Williams, Wales produced a stunning fightback with time running out to send South Africa home.
South Africa had twice come from behind to hold the lead in the final quarter and looked on course for a place in Sunday's final and a chance to retain the world crown they won in Cape Town a year ago.
Lock forward Irne Herbst collected a short throw at the front of the lineout to crash over for the first try and give South Africa a 7-6 lead on the half hour. Then, replacement flank Kwagga Smith, reclaimed the lead for South Africa with the second try on the hour to make it 14-11.
Handr� Pollard had converted both tries and added a penalty to give South Africa a 17-11 lead with five minutes remaining.
However, Wales right wing Ashley Evans dived on flyhalf Sam Davies' chip into the in goal area and Davies then converted from wide out on the right to give Wales a last-gasp victory and send them through to the final where they will face either England or New Zealand.
Wales captain Ellis Jenkins: "Unbelievable, it is a bit surreal at the moment. That was tense. we knew it would take something special to break the defense and Sam has dropped that kick on the money for Ash to go over in the corner and then stepped up, nerves of steel and slotted it from the touchline. But I thought our front row were outstanding, and our front five. Absolutely outstanding.
"Everything hurts, but we played a very good game of rugby. We had our chances and we knew if we stuck to our game plan we would score tries and we did, just in the nick of time. All the talk before the game was about their back three, but I think our back three has been outstanding. It is just a really good feeling when it comes together like that."
Wales fly half and match-winner Sam Davies: "It was getting hard towards the end of the game and we were running out of options. Their 15 came into the line to make the tackle, there is no one behind and I have seen the space, dropped it into the corner for our winger who has seen that space, to finish it off. I have missed more than I have kicked in my time so it is nice to get that one over to seal that victory.
"We are over the moon, we have made history in our country, and we move on to the final and look for another big win there. It is huge, we had a lot of talk about making history, getting to that semi, and then progressing on as we have done today. No other Welsh team at Under 20 level has done that and we are really proud of ourselves."
South Africa coach Dawie Theron: "We had our opportunities in the game - I think there was at least two tries that we could have scored. I think maybe the guys were a little bit anxious in the moment. And, I must lift my hat to the Welsh. They really stuck to their kicking game - they had a very, very well prepared kicking game. They kept us in the corners, we couldn't get out of our half. In the end, the bounce of the ball made the difference.
"Nobody can accuse them of a lack of effort. The guys really played well. We tend to forget that this is age group competitions - it's the crop of the year. Like I said to the boys downstairs, you need a little bit of luck sometimes. The luck, with the bounce of the ball, went with the Welsh today and the next time it'll go to us. We're definitely not happy about losing, but we can keep our head high. And we're going to work for the next game."

A Template-Based Approach to XML Parsing in C++
XML is a markup-based data description language designed to allow developers to create structured documents using descriptive custom tags. The intent of XML is to separate the description of the data from its intended use and allow the transfer of the data between different applications in a nonplatform- or architecture-specific way. Another useful application of XML is to describe a process in a logical and meaningful manner that can be carried out by the application at runtime.
In order for an XML file to be parsed successfully, the developer must first create a file that can be processed by a parser. A parser is a set of shared objects or a library that reads and processes an XML file.
The parser may be one of two types: validating or nonvalidating. A validating parser scans the XML file and determines if the document is well formed, as specified, by either an XML schema or the document type definition (DTD). A nonvalidating parser simply reads the file and ignores the format and layout as specified by either the XML schema or the DTD.
The most widely used parsers represent two different approaches: event-driven and tree-based. The event-driven parser is called SAX (simple API for XML processing). A tree-based parser creates a DOM (document object model) tree in memory at the time the XML file is read and parsed.
The DOM implementation is difficult to navigate and does not allow for clean mapping between XML elements and domain-specific objects. SAX provides the events to allow developers to create their domain-specific objects at the time the XML file is read and parsed. This article delivers a framework design using the SAX API for XML parsing.
The two most commonly used parsers for C++ are the open-source Xerces of the Apache Project and XML4C created by IBM's alphaWorks Project. XML4C is based on Xerces.
Both parsers essentially provide the same layout of source and libraries and therefore can be used interchangeably. They also support both DOM- and SAX-based XML parsing.
This document describes an implementation using the SAX parser with the Xerces parser. The Xerces source or binaries related to XML parsing can be downloaded from the Xerces web site (see Resources).
In order to begin parsing an XML file using the SAX API, the layout of the SAX C++ object interactions must be understood. SAX is designed with two basic interfaces:
Close examination of the methods in the HandlerBase object reveals two different categories of methods: error handling and document processing. The error-handling methods include warning, error and fatalError, whereas the parsing methods consist of startElement, characters, ignorableWhitespace and endElement. These behaviors can be separated into individual objects, as shown later.
The SAXParser class takes care of setting basic properties and the desired behavior to be enforced at runtime.
The following sample code illustrates the basic steps for parsing an XML file using the SAX parser in C++:
// Create a new instance of the SAX parser SAXParser parser; // Initialize the behavior you desire parser.setDoValidation(true); parser.setDoNamespaces(true); parser.setDoSchema(true); parser.setValidationSchemaFullChecking(true); // Add handlers for document and error processing parser.setDocumentHandler(&docHandler); parser.setErrorHandler(&errorHandler); // Parse file parser.parse("MyXMLFile.xml");
At the time the parsing occurs, the classes you've instantiated, docHandler and errorHandler, are forwarded the events that get triggered from the parsing. These classes are derived from the Xerces base class HandlerBase and have overridden the appropriate methods for handling the events based on their categorized function.
Now that we've been exposed to parsing XML using SAX, let's explore how our XML framework has been implemented to take advantage of the facilities provided within the API.
A policy class, as described and made popular by Andrei Alexandrescu's Modern C++ Design (see Resources), "defines a class interface or a class template interface. The interface consists of one or all of the following: inner type definitions, member functions and member variables."
The usefulness of policy classes, in this XML framework, are realized when created using a template-based C++ design. A policy allows you to parameterize and configure functionality at a fine granularity. In this design, policies are created to accommodate the following behaviors: document handling, error handling, domain mapping and parsing.
Configuring these elements as policies allows the creation of more concise code that is easier to maintain by any developer experienced in C++ and the use of templates.
The principal class of the XML-parsing framework is the XMLSAXParser. It's a custom-designed class template that implements the XMLParserInterface and includes a SAXParser object as a member variable. The template parameters include policy classes for both the document and error handlers. All parsing is eventually delegated to the SAXParser member variable after the various handlers and other properties have been set.
Implementing custom handlers, as policy classes, is a relatively trivial task using the framework. The advantage of this type of design is that the same framework can be used with different parsing APIs and different domain-mapping objects by altering one or more of the policies—an exercise that is not implemented in this article.
In order to create custom handlers, derive newly created custom classes from HandlerBase and override the virtual methods of interest. The following two types of custom handlers have been created in the XMLFactory framework:
XMLSAXHandler handles document event processing, and XMLSAXErrorHandler handles the various error callbacks.

Eli Manning and the New York Giants are back this week, so is Tim Tebow, and so am I. And I hope you'll be back, too, to take me on again in some head-to-head football playoff picks. After a three-for-four showing last week, I'm feeling good about my chances at perfection this time around. Are you? You can email your picks or share them in the comments below and we'll recap on Monday. Good luck.
Saturday NFL Playoffs
New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers
The last time the Saints and 49ers met was during the preseason, and it wasn't pretty. The Saints had 365 blitzes during the regular season, the second-most in the league, and they also went on a blitzing rampage during the preseason matchup. It's been a much-talked about source of tension as the two teams prepare for Saturday's game—there's no question that San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh and New Orleans coach Sean Payton are two of the most competitive in the NFL, and Saturday's game will certainly feature two feisty teams.
For the most part, this game will be a battle of the Saints' offense vs. the 49ers' defense.
It is the singular mindset of Payton and QB Drew Brees that has helped to secure the Saints' reputation as one of the best offenses we've seen. (They're No. 1 in the league with 334.2 passing yards per game.) New Orleans knows how to create matchup problems, particularly with TE Jimmy Graham, who leads the team with 1,310 receiving yards, and RB Darren Sproles, the Saints' leading rusher with 603 yards. The 49ers will have to contend with having a thinly dispersed interior defense as they work to cover all of the Saints' weapons.
The outdoor elements may give the 49ers their best chance to stop the Saints, who are so clearly a dome team. New Orleans was 8-0 at home during the regular season, but only 5-3 on the road. The sunny, 63 degree forecast is certainly the best they could ask for an outdoor game, but it will be a challenge for them to put up the monster numbers that have defined their home play.
Overall, the Saints will need their offense to continue clicking on all cylinders if they hope to thwart a 49ers defense that has proven to be tops in the league. The Saints will face the fourth-best defense in the NFL, as San Francisco allowed just 308.2 total yards per game. San Francisco ranked No. 1 in rushing yards allowed, giving up an average of 77.3 per game.
Key for the 49ers is winning the turnover battle and having a strong outing from RB Frank Gore, who leads the team with 1,211 rushing yards.
Players to watch:
Drew Brees (Saints): He hasn't brought his team to glory on the road, at least by the standards he's set at home. But the guy broke Dan Marino's 1984 single-season passing record. No one's discounting what he can do.
Alex Smith (49ers): The 49ers QB has had a great season, setting career-highs with a 61.4 completion percentage, 3,144 passing yards and a 90.7 passer rating. San Francisco's defense will no doubt slow down the Saints' offense, but New Orleans scores a lot of points fast. They'll be able to break through on a few occasions, and it will be up to Smith and the offense to keep the game close.
Interesting Stats:
-This is the first playoff meeting between New Orleans and San Francisco.
-The 49ers are in the playoffs for the first time in nine years.
-New Orleans is 0-4 in road playoff games. The only other team to have lost all of their road playoff games is Cincinnati.
-The Saints have a six-game winning streak over the 49ers that dates back to 2002.
Pick: Saints over 49ers
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
Question: Who was looking at their phone when the Broncos-Steelers went into overtime to try to figure out the new rules, only to look up and see Denver WR Demaryius Thomas run into the end zone for an 80-yard touchdown? There have been some great, fantastic, borderline miraculous 'Tebow Times' this season, but that had to have topped them all.
And now the Broncos face the Pats. The lethal New England coach-quarterback partnership of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady vs. the pleading-with-my-quarterback-to-pull-the-trigger relationship between Broncos' VP of football operations John Elway and Tim Tebow. Tebow certainly came through last Sunday, but will he be able to have a repeat performance against the AFC's No. 1 seed?
Key for the Broncos' offense is extending their drives and creating more first downs. Tebow averaged 31.6 yards per pass completion during last Sunday's game, but he's going to have to complete the shorter passes as well in order to extend drives. Demaryius Thomas had 205 receiving yards on Sunday, and the Broncos will be relying on him to repeat that performance.
The Broncos' offense should be bolstered by the fact that the Patriots have the 31st ranked defensive unit (they've allowed an average of 411.1 yards per game), which has raised questions about their ability to contend for a title. On the contrary, the Broncos have a top-ranked rushing attack. They say that defense wins games – if Tebow and the offense can put up respectable numbers, and if the Broncos defense can cut back on the turnovers that plagued their last meeting with the Pats, they have a solid chance of taking New England by storm.
On the Patriots side, New England can take comfort in the fact that they stomped the Broncos 41-23 when the two teams met on December 18. On paper, their offense should be able to dominate in a similar fashion on Saturday – they've averaging 428.0 total yards per game to Denver's 317.0 this season. The Pats will rely heavily on team receiving leader Wes Walker, but if the Broncos can figure out how to cover him, the game could be a whole lot closer than people are anticipating.
Players to Watch:
Tim Tebow (Broncos): Tebow Time is not a fourth quarter phenomenon. It's a way of life.
Tom Brady (Patriots): The Patriots need a big game from Tom Brady, as he'll be relied upon to make up for the shortcomings on New England's defense.
Interesting Stats:
-It's been nearly four years since New England's last playoff win.
-Former Broncos' head coach Josh McDaniels, who drafted Tim Tebow but was fired last December, has now rejoined the Patriots' staff as offensive coordinator.
-When Tim Tebow was quarterback for the Florida Gators, he at times painted the Bible verse John 3:16 on his black eye paint, which reads "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." On Sunday, Tebow passed for 316 yards. To top it off, he only completed 10 passes – meaning he averaged 31.6 yards per completion, an NFL playoff record.
-When the two teams met during the regular season, the Patriots ended the Broncos' six-game winning streak.
Pick: I'm going for it…Broncos over Pats.
Texans at Ravens
All of the hype surrounding the Baltimore Ravens makes Sunday's matchup seem like a David and Goliath type game, with the Texans and their third-string rookie quarterback playing David to the Ravens' 10-game home winning streak.
However, the Texans and Ravens' defenses are very evenly matched on paper — average yards allowed per game: Houston 285.7, Baltimore 288.9.
Offensively, the Ravens may have an easier time rattling Houston's first-year signal caller T.J. Yates. The Texans will be looking for another strong performance from RB Arian Foster, who is fifth in the league with 1,224 rushing yards on the season. He helped Yates give the Texans their first postseason victory in franchise history last week with 24 carries for 153 yards and two touchdowns. But he was held to 49 yards on 15 attempts when the two teams met during the regular season.
On the other side, the Texans' chances will largely be determined by whether the defense can hold Baltimore rushing leader Ray Rice. Rice is No. 1 in the NFL this year with 2,068 yards from scrimmage, but he was held to 89 yards on 29 carries during last year's two playoff games. Baltimore QB Joe Flacco has struggled in the postseason as well, throwing seven interceptions and four TDs in seven playoff games. But, he has a 96.1 QB rating for the last four home games.
Players to Watch:
Anquan Boldin (Ravens): WR Anquan Boldin leads the Ravens with 887 yards per game despite missing the final two games of the regular season. He's expected to play on Sunday, and looks to mimic his season-high eight receptions for 132 yards, which came against the regular season meeting vs. the Texans.
T.J. Yates (Texans): With the defenses so evenly matched, this game is really going to come down to the offense. If Yates can handle the pressure of being a rookie on the road, he could give the Texans a win.
Interesting Stats:
-The Ravens clinched their first AFC North title since 2006.
-Baltimore is 5-0 all-time against Houston.
-Joe Flacco is the only quarterback in NFL history to have won a playoff game in each of his first three seasons.
Pick: Ravens over Texans
New York Giants at Green Bay Packers
I'm a big believer in playing off of momentum. Who hasn't had a coach at one time in our life tell us that competition "90 percent mental and 10 percent skill?" The Week 13, 38-35 loss to the Packers has served as a catalyst for the Giants' explosive style of play. The teams were tied with less than a minute left, as Big Blue proved that they could play with the darlings of the NFL. The offense has only been better since then.
On another note, it was difficult to see Eli Manning sacked in the end zone for a safety just over a minute into the first quarter on Sunday's game against the Falcons. The play ignited serious questions about whether or not New York would be able to pull it together. Mental mistakes are costly.
Fortunately, they clearly didn't let impact the rest of their game. The Giants defense played lights-out to hold the Falcons to a whopping zero offensive points. And Giants QB Eli Manning continued his career pro season, throwing for 277 yards and three touchdowns for a final score of 24-2.
The Giants are on a tear, and everything seems to be coming together at the right time for the team. The defense is playing well, the pass rush is making an impact and the running game is surging. Their biggest problem is the defensive backfield, but starting CB Aaron Ross, who left last week's game with a concussion, has been cleared to play this Sunday.
Challenging the Giants' defense is Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers. This season, the projected league MVP has thrown 45 TDs, a mere six interceptions, 4,643 yards and league-record 122.5 QB rating.
Again, the Giants can take comfort in the fact that when they played the Packers in December, they put up some of their best rushing numbers of the season – 100 yards on 20 carries. But, Green Bay was without star linebackers Desmond Bishop, who leads the team with 115 total tackles, and A.J. Hawk. The Packers' defense is far from the best in the league – all they're really focused on is forcing turnovers to get the ball back in Rogers' hands—but the Giants will still have to prepare to face them at full force.
In the games since the regular season matchup against the Packers, the Giants' rushing game has been at least 10 yards above their 89.2 season average. Key for the team is for rushing leaders Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs to thwart the Packers' defense and help Manning to bridge the divide between his numbers and those of Rogers. Interesting, the Giants barely used Victor Cruz, their leading receiver, in last week's game vs. the Falcons. (He had two receptions for 28 yards). The team's No. 2 receiver Hakeem Nicks was on fire with six receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns. If they bring all of their offensive weapons to Green Bay, they very well could come home with the victory.
An interesting antithesis to momentum, however, is time off. The Giants have had to fight to make it to the divisional championships, whereas the No. 1 seed Packers will have had a solid two weeks off by kickoff time. Rogers and many of the starters have sat out an additional week, as they didn't play in the final regular season matchup. It's the age-old debate of how much an impact rest has on the postseason. Will the Giants be tired? Will the Packers be rusty?
Players to watch:
Aaron Rogers (Packers): Rogers has proven to be the hero that Green Bay needed after the strange departure of Brett Favre. (In fact, his 45 TDs, six INTs, 4,643 yards and 122.5 QB rating are better numbers than Favre put up in any single season.) However, his first loss of the season came during Week 15 to a Kansas City team that is currently home watching television.
Eli Manning (Giants): In one sense, this game will be a battle of quarterbacks having career years. In another sense, Rogers has simply proven that he is more dominant. (Manning has thrown 29 TDs to Rogers' 45). If Manning can continue to limit his mental mistakes, he could lead his team to victory.
Interesting Stats:
- Since 2000, only one defending Super Bowl champion has advanced to the conference championship game the following season. (2004 Patriots)
-When the Giants traveled to Lambeau Field for the playoffs was the 2007 NFL title game. The temperature was a frigid minus-23 degrees. Coach Tom Coughlin's face defined a new shade of red.
-The parallels between this season and the 2007 Super Bowl Championship year are becoming hard to ignore. Both teams endured a rollercoaster season to finish 10-6 and 9-7, respectively. The 2007 team lost to the then-undefeated New England Patriots in the final game of the regular season, 38-35. The loss obviously propelled their meteoric rise through the playoffs to an eventual Super Bowl Championship win against the Pats. This year's Giants team lost to the Packers with a final score of…38-35. But the loss spurred the offense and the Giants went on to win the final two games of the regular season to secure their spot in the playoffs. They grabbed the win last week, and the story continues…
Pick: Giants over Packers

In 2004 there were 13 foreclosures in Plumas County. In 2012 there were 294 foreclosures in Plumas County. Property values and tax revenues are still going down, meaning less money for schools and county services: teachers laid off, one-third of the county employees laid off or gone, no visitors bureau, library hours cut, the list keeps growing. As long as foreclosures continue all these things will get worse and our local economy will continue to suffer: restaurants and stores will close and more people will have to move away to get jobs.
The county is not powerless over this. The Board of Supervisors can pass a moratorium on fraudulent foreclosures. Supervisors can tell the sheriff not to evict people who are the subject of a fraudulent foreclosure. They can pass a resolution authorizing the county clerk-recorder's office to refuse to issue a Notice of Default if the bank can't prove it actually holds the mortgage — more than half cannot.
The Plumas County economy is in great turmoil. Because of this foreclosure crisis there isn't enough money for schools and county services. People are afraid and angry and blaming each other. This problem was not caused here. It is the result of the behavior of the large financial institutions, banks and multinational corporations who have manipulated things for their own benefit. They have moved jobs out of the country, written millions of sub-prime mortgages, failed to register them with counties and pay the fees, falsified paperwork in order to hide the fact that they don't have the original documents. They bundled the mortgages (securitized) and sold them over and over, and foreclosed on them when people couldn't pay because of lost jobs, rising interest rates and falling property values.
It is not the fault of the homeowners at all. The big banks and corporations spend billions of dollars to elect people who will support their interests. They spend millions more to hire lobbyists to convince elected officials to write tax laws and legislation that makes them richer and has ruined our economy.
During the buildup of the "housing bubble" the banks realized that they could make more money by writing more mortgages. The people writing the mortgages found they sold more mortgages faster if they falsified the people's income records, fabricated data, forged documents and hid fees. All of this drove home costs higher than their actual value and the bubble finally burst in fall 2008.
A report by the FDIC revealed that 85 percent of financial institutions were cited for significant violations of truth-in-lending laws. Of these, 26 percent were failure to disclose the cost of credit, such as interest rate and payment schedule. So, don't blame the victim! They were lied to and their financial statements were falsified by eager lenders.
People accepted mortgage documents in good faith, not realizing that the financial records had been tampered with, that the interest would go up and then the payments. And they certainly didn't know that the property value bubble would burst and the value of the property would drop down below the value of the mortgage. It is not their fault either that their jobs are gone. In this financial vacuum people are accused of being stupid and felonious for not paying their bills. It is often treated as a moral issue, which it is not. The victim is not responsible for being victimized, cheated and lied to. We all believed we lived in a country ruled by laws. It is not so anymore.

German Shepherd Dog > Shipping from Europe problem. Need advise (86 replies)
Shipping from Europe problem. Need advise by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 17:58 |
Bought a dog and they checked on shipping from Praque. The quote was 990 Euro. I paid for everything. Well now the rules changed and Delta can't ship so the shipping company contacted me and said they would take the dog to Frankfurt but I would have to pay another 200 Euro (shipping 1100 Euro +80 Euro for gas). agreed! Now the dog is in Frankfurt and I am being told I will have to pay another 355- 715 Euro. |
by Hedi on 12 June 2012 - 18:05 |
Are you talking to people directly? You have a dog sitting in Frankfurt right now? |
by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 18:16 |
Yes, the dog is in Frankfurt. Yes, I talked to them directly. The shipping company in Frankfurt has been super nice. The man from the Czech Republic has also been very nice and I am easy to work with and never encountered this problem. However, now the man (shipping company) from the Czech Republic will not contact me. He dropped off the dog and partial payment.... |
by GSDPACK on 12 June 2012 - 18:17 |
Who is shipping your dog? |
by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 18:24 |
The original was http://www.jinopo.cz/petair/index_en.htm . The dog is at Pet Air now |
by duke1965 on 12 June 2012 - 18:25 |
maybe start working with some different people , if shippingcompany gives you a price they will and have to send the dog for offered price , your only option right now is pay, or let the seller go to frankfurt and pick up the dog airlines need money so they push you to use bigger crate ,telling you its for animal wellfare, all you need to do is use different crate which will backfire on the airlines, because it will actually be a little cheaper good luck |
by Hedi on 12 June 2012 - 18:28 |
If you have the ability to stop funds to the CZ person and deal with him later....move the dog through. Not sure what company you are using in Germany, but it should be a seemless thing. Sounds to me that the job has been dumped in Germany. That is what I would do, stop funds...pay and move the dog through. |
by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 18:33 |
I already prepaid the seller and they prepaid everything. I just got in touch with the seller and they are very upset also. I have no problem covering the gas money but to pocket 235 Euros is crazy. I hope they will work it out. As I will not stand for that. I will post and update to let everyone know if things have been resolved. |
by duke1965 on 12 June 2012 - 18:37 |
if your seller told gradylin to take care of transportation you have to paytheir fee , anyhow , if you cant solve, I can pick up the dog for you if needet and take care of things 00420-606808926 |
by GSDPACK on 12 June 2012 - 19:02 |
pet air is good, I have feeling the changes happened after the original reservation. I think Peter had to juggle things around and in order to ship the dog at the right time the cost became larger. The Gas to Frankfurt is about $250 round trip if he had to make a quick trip to Germany with only one dog, 5 hours drive one way,possible hotel room.. it adds up. If the airline wants the dog in a bigger crate shipper has to pretty much yeld. I think he found himself in a pickle dealing with airlines to make it work. Let us know how it works out. Let Duke help if he can. Good luck. |
by Ara Haus on 12 June 2012 - 19:08 |
I PM'd you.... Good Luck! |
by Spruell on 12 June 2012 - 19:14 |
I have recently used PEtAir and they are VERY easy to work with. The larger crate size is determined by the ariline, not the shipping company. I have personally witnessed this first hand. Good Luck! |
by ghostly on 12 June 2012 - 19:40 |
Sounds like Jinopo has taken another client over the shipping, Sad when they own the shipping company over there also. I have heard of this happening to one of my friends about a year ago |
by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 19:42 |
No, he is in a 600 crate already and they said they may put him in a 700. However, I talked to Petr and he told me what he would charge me for gas. He said he had other dogs. If you tell me what you will charge me for fuel in advance than that is what I will pay. It is a big difference from 80 Euros to 235 Euros |
by duke1965 on 12 June 2012 - 19:50 |
what is airport of destination ? |
by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 20:08 |
Raleigh, NC |
by joanro on 12 June 2012 - 20:30 |
Bhall, I sent you a pm. |
by duke1965 on 12 June 2012 - 20:47 |
I can ship to raleigh for about €950 , all in , this includes barthco brokerfee, if you can do that yourself you can take of about €250, this is without expenses to airport |
by Bhall on 12 June 2012 - 20:56 |
duke1965, I do have a broker but would still pay you the 990 Euro I was quoted. Can you send me your email? I would love to go thru you in the future and if Petr can't get my dog here then I will just have him refund my whole shipping amount and pay you. |
by duke1965 on 12 June 2012 - 20:56 |
this is prize for large kennel like 700 size |

If you want Current Conditions (CURR) or Daily Surf and Sea Conditions (SEA) add these codes to the beginning of the text message. Mobile WebOnline Resources: mobile.weather.gov and m.wund.com If your phone is equipped with mobile web browsing you can access free weather information. The sites listed above have current weather, forecast and radar. These services might not be the most visually appealing but they get the job done.

In addition to land-based weather reports you can also search for marine forecast and get buoy station reports. You might have to root through several pages and click several times but it is available. Tip: Eliminate searching for current buoy weather by knowing local NOAA Station IDs.

Dial-In ServicesNOAA has several free dial-in services for boaters to get marine weather and tidal-current information. These products are distributed by various offices within NOAA so there is overlap in the information. You have to know the geographic identifiers for your local marine weather. Tip: Most dial-in services have extensive phone trees. Try the process out first to pick the one with the least steps for you.

Is there an Irish New York Accent?
Posted on Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:46 AM

Peter Quinn is a Bronx-born and raised Irish American. He was a speechwriter for New York governors Mario Cuomo and Hugh Carey and, in recent years, has become a well-known essayist and novelist. He even has a new novel out, entitled The Man Who Never Returned, about the legendarily vanished New York judge Joseph Crater.
But that's not all Quinn has. According to one observer, Quinn also has -- if you will -- the "quin"-tessential New York Irish accent.
But this observation raises a larger question? Is there really an Irish variation on the world famous New York accent?
Another Irish American with roots in the Bronx named Heather Quinlan has embarked on a journey to answer just that question.
"I've always been interested in language and accents," said Quinlan, in a recent interview with "Sidewalks."
Quinlan was laid off from her job earlier this year. She decided, then, to devote herself full-time to what had been a part-time obsession -- making a documentary film about the "Noo Yawk" accent. The title is If These Knishes Could Talk: A New York Accent Film.
"The thing that fueled the idea," Quinlan said, "was that my father died in 1996."
She recalls her youth, listening to stories told by her father and grandparents in thick New York accents.
"It's one of the things I miss about them," Quinlan added. "It's something good to celebrate."
By now, of course, the New York accent has become something cartoonish. In fact, this was the case six or so decades ago, when that famous cartoon rabbit Bugs Bunny was causing mayhem on the streets of New York with an accent thicker than molasses, singing about Rosie O'Grady, that "regular old fashioned goil."
In recent decades, however, something strange has happened. The New York accent -- or a wildly exaggerated version of it -- has become more and more popular in films. At the same time it has become less prominent on certain New York streets.
As Quinlan noted, Manhattan tends to be filled with migrants from across America as well as newly-arrived immigrants. This generally means that it is possible to spend a whole day in Manhattan without actually hearing the beloved New York accent. Unless, that is, you wander into an OTB or a Blarney Stone.
But there are also misguided folks who believe the New York accent is not only dead, but died roughly around the same time The Honeymooners left the airwaves.
This is generally the opinion of folks who fancy themselves New York experts, who, nevertheless, couldn't find their way to ethnic enclaves in Brooklyn or the Bronx or Staten Island with a Metro Card, a map or a GPS app.
Indeed, Quinlan said the title of her New York accent film was inspired by a snack her dad bought for her during a youthful trip to the Staten Island zoo.
"A New York/Jewish food introduced to me by my Irish father in an Italian borough. That's about as New York as it gets," Quinlan notes on her website.
But how is the Irish New York accent different from, say, the Italian New York accent?
"The Irish New York accent is more like Jimmy Cagney. It's very rat-tat-tat. Very Tommy Gun," Quinlan says, noting that Quinn is a current expert practitioner.
The New York Irish accent is more subtle than, say, the Italian New York inflection which tends to be more broad -- what people tend to talk about, Quinlan notes, when they vaguely refer to a "typical Brooklyn accent."
Quinlan's own ancestors came to the Bronx from Tipperary and she spent her youth in several New York boroughs as well as New Jersey.
She did eventually make contact with cousins in Tipperary and made a trip to Ireland, where she saw the Quinlan homestead, which is still standing -- "barely."
While shooting her film, Quinlan also came across the work of the late Irish language scholar Daniel Cassidy, who showed how the Irish language deeply influenced New York slang.
"It was mind-blowing," Quinlan said.
Quinlan is continuing to shoot footage for If These Knishes Could Talk. She has already talked to the likes of Pete Hamill, and is aiming to have the film completed next year, in time to put it on the film festival circuit.
While raising money for this project, she has also seen an outpouring of generosity from many people.
"I think that speaks to New Yorkers love of the accent," Quinlan says. "It's as much a part of Americana as apple pie."

Since there's no yes or no in Irish, the way to affirm or negate a question is with the same word. That carries over to English, and people who are unaware of the Irish influence answer questions. For instance, Were you there? isn't answered yes or no, but with I was or I was not.
In Irish there are two ways to answer An bhfaca tú sin? (Did you see that?). One is Chonaic mé (I saw) or Ní fhaca mé (I didn't see.)
For those who say that the Irish can never give you a simple yes-or-no answer, the reason is lost in antiquity. You can say Is ea which is like saying 'Tis but you wouldn't have to say 'Tis if there were a word for Yes. Is é sin é.

Speaking of Irish New York accents when I worked for the Federal government I had dealing with a fellow who worked for a Delaware State Agency. I forget the fellow's name now but he had good Irish surname. When I first had dealing with this lad I asked him if he might be from New York City because of his accent, which was very New York City to my ears. I was surprised when he told me that he was born and raised in New Orleans in area called the Irish Channel. I learned late that Irish famine era settlers to New Orleans learned English after they settled in New Orleans. Many teachers in this Irish Channel area of New Orleans were nuns from a religious order that came to New Orleans from New York City, thus a New York City style accent within the Irish community of the Irish Channel of New Orleans.

So far, the NY accent is still alive. I think it is a combo of Irish, Italian and Jewish. Anywhere you go where there is this ethnic mix, you will find this accent, or something quite like it - I heard it in South San Francisco. Typically the "a" sound is attributed to the Irish, and it seems to be exaggerated in a place like Boston more so than in NY. Jimmy Cagney chopped speech is more indicative of the Irish accent which was prevalent in NY in the 30s and 40s. However, with the ethnic mix changing rapidly in NY, this accent is going to change since the majority will probably be Latino, Chinese and Russian immigrants. I wonder what that will sound like? Yikes!

Yes, I think there's a little bit of the Irish lilt to the New York Irish accent. That bit of up and down pitch to their voices. Anyway, they maybe losing their accents because they spend so much time in Connecticut, where it there is, apparently, no accent.

I grew up on the west side in manhattan. We Irish americans most definitely have our own distinctive accent. But you will have to go to the suburbs to find us. We were the children of the immigrants who got a bit of our accents from them. Italian american and jewish american who grew up in New York City have there own accents. My kids don't sound like me and there aren't many of us left. If I am anywhere outside of New York all I have to say is cooffee or boddles(bottles{ then I hear "are you from New York? There are so many words we say that I hope this project comes true because we are dying out.

I definitely think there was a New York Irish accent, but I thought it was either gone or on the way out. If you watch old movies - Jimmy Cagney's a good suggestion - you'll often hear it. Sometimes a short film clip will be even better because I think Hollywood changes everything to suit their own purposes.
I can hear it in my head still from old people I knew. One word that definitely stands out in my memory is potatoes or b'ataetas (maybe there's a better way to render that).

Thomas Hurley III, an eighth-grader from Newtown, Conn. who appeared on Jeopardy!'s kids tournament last week, says his Final Jeopardy answer was unfairly ruled incorrect.
Under the category "Famous Documents,'' the Final Jeopardy question referenced an 1863 document that President Abraham Lincoln called a "fit and necessary war measure.'' The correct answer was "Emancipation Proclamation," but Hurley flubbed the spelling, writing "Emanciptation Proclamation."

Academy Award winners Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star in the comedic drama The Bucket List, directed by Rob Reiner, a touching, no- holds-barred adventure that shows it's never too late to live life to its fullest. Carter and Edward found themselves sharing a hospital room with plenty of time to think about what might happen next—and about how much of that was in their hands. For all their apparent differences, they soon discovered they had two very important things in common: an unrealized need to come to terms with who they were and the choices they'd made, and a pressing desire to spend the time they had left doing everything they ever wanted to do.

Columbia: During the first three days of March the state checked 760 anglers who had caught 17 spring chinook and eight steelhead. All but one of the chinook were caught by boat anglers from Kalama to Vancouver. The steelhead were caught from Vancouver downstream. During Saturday's effort flight count, there were 280 boats and 355 bank anglers. Sturgeon fishing has been on the slow side below and above Bonneville Dam.
Cowlitz: Based on state creel sampling reports, the effort has been light and the action very slow. Last week, Tacoma Power recovered 37 winter-run steelhead during five days of operations at the Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery separator.
Olympic Coast: After being blown out over the weekend, rivers are dropping and the steelhead fishing should improve. The Hoh has seen lots of big fish, while the Sol Duc's numbers should be increasing.
Washougal: A check of 38 bank anglers showed they had caught and released four wild steelhead, while 13 boat anglers released two hatchery steelhead and one wild fish.
Wynoochee: The river has been producing some good catches of steelhead. People are drifting sand shrimp through the holes with success.
Yakima: The best game plan right now is to nymph in the morning with a stonefly and dropper fly about 4-5 feet under an indicator. In the afternoon, look for trout rising to eat midges. Try working a Griffith's Gnat through the slow water of an inside corner.
Beaches: The next razor clam dig opens Thursday, and now includes an extra day of digging at Long Beach. No digging will be allowed at any beach before noon. Here is the list of openings and low tide times: Thursday, 3:06 p.m., 0.3 feet, Twin Harbors; Friday, 4:01 p.m., 0.0 feet, Twin Harbors and Long Beach; Saturday, 4:50 p.m., minus 0.2 feet, Twin Harbors, Long Beach, Copalis and Mocrocks; Sunday, 6:33 p.m., minus 0.2 feet, Twin Harbors, Long Beach, Copalis and Mocrocks; and Monday, 7:12 p.m., 0.0 feet, Twin Harbors. Diggers are reminded that daylight saving time starts Sunday.
Hood Canal: There has been some decent blackmouth fishing in the Brinnon-Seabeck area. State creel sampling Saturday at Pleasant Harbor Marina near Brinnon showed 22 anglers brought in 11 salmon. On Sunday, another 22 people came in empty-handed.
North Sound: Starting today, anglers can keep just one salmon per day in Marine Area 9, the portion of Puget Sound stretching from Seattle to Bremerton. State fishery managers approved the new limit — down from two fish per day — after determining that the number of chinook kept or released has exceeded preseason projections.
South Sound: Salmon fishing remains slow, but a few fish are being caught off Point Dalco and the slag pile. People are trolling flashers with a hoochie or spoon about 10 feet off the bottom in water 120-150 feet deep.
American: Trout fishing has slowed despite the recent good weather. The bite has been light as the fish seem tentative to strike hard.
Chelan: The best action for lake trout is trolling over the flats area below Wapato Point. Anglers have been catching mostly smaller fish, with some larger fish coming from working the edges of the lower basin.
Eastside: Fishing at the lakes that opened Friday has been good to very good. Lenice has fished well, as did Quincy and Nunnally. Fly anglers are using chironomids, bloodworms, dark-colored leeches and olive Woolly Buggers.
Rufus Woods: Fishing for rainbow trout continues to be very tough. If you're fishing slip-sinker rigs with dough baits, change your weight and your leader length to adjust for differences in river current.

This verse segment from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is becoming more and more recognizable in western agriculture.
Water is becoming the most valuable ingredient in farming and will become more so in the future. Global warming is beginning to reduce rainfall, and virtually all western rivers are projected to have lower flows in coming years. Runoff is occurring earlier, and we no longer have the "reservoirs" of vast snowfields into May and June.
The second-largest U.S. river emptying into the Pacific is the Colorado, which drains vast regions of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California. It used to drain about 20 million acre feet per year into the ocean. Today that natural flow is reduced to about 15 million acre feet. Aquifer drainage has also outpaced recharge.
Any sensible person can see that without more precipitation, water will soon be "nor any drop to drink." The only remedy is less usage.
Because agriculture uses at least 70 percent of the world's fresh water - and even more from the Colorado River - farming will be the first place to look for water savings.
Those savings should be achievable by focusing on different crops. Instead of growing low-value crops like alfalfa that's shipped to China, we can produce high-value vegetables, flowers or grains. If water were priced at full value, including opportunity-cost value, marginal crops would disappear and water conservation would appear.
Moving north from the Colorado to the largest U.S. river emptying into the Pacific, we see a vastly different picture. Although the Columbia is 200 miles shorter than the Colorado and drains a smaller land mass, its water volume annually is almost 10 times that of the Colorado. There are more than 400 dams in the Columbia drainage, mostly for irrigation, with some for hydroelectric generation and transportation. Despite the number of dams and canal systems used for agriculture, total water withdrawal from the Columbia Basin is estimated at less than 5 percent of river flow.
Idaho uses far more of that water per capita than any other state in the basin, tapping an estimated 13,000 gallons per person per day. Wyoming is No. 2 at about 1,000 gallons per day. I didn't believe that statistic at first, but it has been corroborated by authoritative federal agencies. Considering our small population and the fact that 99 percent of all water usage in Idaho is for agriculture, the numbers ring true.
When we look at the disappearance of water in most of the West and the need for 100 percent more food within 50 years, we know that conservation is a must despite the tremendous water assets of the Columbia Basin. Many things can be done today to diminish usage. Most are relatively simple. About a third of all Idaho acreage is flood irrigated, and by investing in sprinkler and drip irrigation, much of that water could be saved. Lining irrigation ditches, monitoring soil moistures to irrigate only when needed, contour farming and no-till agriculture all would contribute to reduced water usage - although as farmers and ranchers, we must be attuned to probable increases in costs.
Finally, what we don't know today might be the most exciting parts of the solution. Desalinization, bio-engineered crops that drink almost nothing, rivers that run uphill - we cannot fathom what is possible.

Thailand 3 – Grand Palace
After Wat Pho we wandered over to The Grand Palace next door. Along the way we walked into the middle of a huge Red Party (pro-Thaksin) rally taking place just outside its gates. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pics. They let us walk right through the rally, and we only received friendly smiles along the way, but the scene was pretty intense, and we were a bit nervous until we popped out the other side.
After wading through that, and then past the usual scammers trying to tell us it was closed (for lunch, or for a Buddhist holiday, or whatever – and despite people clearly walking in and out at will) we made it inside The Grand Palace and took a look around.
It was around 90 degrees and very humid, so we only lasted a couple hours before giving up. We did discover the popular chilled coconut (they chill it and then cut it open for you and you drink the coconut water and eat the rest with a spoon) in the snack bar, which was awesome.

So, about that column 11 days ago:
I 'm thinking of making T-shirts: "Proud to be a member of that `left-wing fringe group' called `Women.'"They'd be pink, of course, for socialism – and also for the pink triangle, the badge the Nazis made gays and lesbians wear before shipping them off to the camps.
Thanks to Prime Minster Stephen Harper, those T-shirts will make me rich!
So props to you, P.M., for letting down your hair, and your guard, last week at that not-so-closed-door speech in Sault Ste. Marie.
Thank you for finally admitting that your government shut down the Court Challenges program in 2006 not just because, as then-Heritage Minister Bev Oda claimed in Parliament, you "recognize the importance of women" but because you believe that that women's rights are "left-wing fringe" rights.
Now, with a little help from my 2,720 (and counting) Facebook friends, as well as the ladies at LEAF, the Women's Legal Action and Education Fund, the t-shirt has become a reality.
Okay, so it's not pink but black. That's more slimming. Plus it made it easier to come up with a version for supportive men.
Props to Francesca Dobbyn, Jude Macdonald, Pale Cold and Michael Hanna-Fein for making this all happen.
Big ups to Dwayne Radzik Radke for the photo manipulation you see above.
You can bet that Mr. Harper won't be putting us on...anymore.

Also: Can the camera do a 4k project @ 29.97? Mine doesn't show me the option.
Thanks Much,
