Hands On Squashing Space Pirates in Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Insane in the Mother Brain
It's safe to say the general - or at least loudest - response from Metroid fans upon the reveal of Metroid Prime: Federation Force was one of disappointment.

News Metroid Prime Producer Wants to Make Another Sequel With Samus, "Not Involved" in 2D Titles By Yoshio Sakamoto
"There's still more I want to build around the story of Sylux and Samus"
It's fair to say that Metroid Prime: Federation Force was not well received during and immediately after its Nintendo Digital Event reveal; the online reaction to it was, at times, brutal. We'd argue that the subsequent Treehouse Live segment showed it to be a reasonably...

The popularity of wildlife photography as a career is growing constantly. With the upsurge of accessibility to digital cameras these days, more and more enthusiasts are joining a wildlife photography course to turn their passion for photography into their profession. There are many valuable techniques that wildlife photographers should learn. However, here are 5 basic tips that every expert would like to pass on to the aspiring wildlife photographers. Let's have a look at those 5 tips:
Study your subject
Wildlife photography requires a thorough knowledge of the subject, i.e. the animal or landscape you are going to shoot. If you just show up at a location to photograph a certain animal species without knowing its intricacies, you will never be able to get a good shot. You must have a prior research about your subject.
Use lens hood
Lens hood protects the lens from getting hit by stray light. This helps your endeavors of producing clearer pictures. In addition to that, lens hood also provides your lens with physical protection. In a macro photography workshop, when you practice producing larger images of a smaller object through the use of your lens, your lens hood will help you with the light condition.
Use Aperture Priority mode
Well, it is a myth that good photographers shoot only in 'manual' mode. It is not that aperture priority mode is only for novices. On the contrary, some professional wildlife photographers have clicked really beautiful pictures in aperture priority mode. Although manual mode has its use under some specific circumstances, no one should refrain from aperture priority mode if that is necessary. You can adjust your ISO in AP mode to increase your shutter speed for still subjects or decrease it if your shoot a moving subject.
Waiting is the key
You have to be very patient and prepared to wait if you are aspiring to be a wildlife photographer. In order to get a good shot you have to wait for hours (if you are lucky) and even days. Some people need to return time and again to the same place to click a beautiful image.
Think Different
You can learn a lot of basics and advanced techniques at a landscapes photography workshop, but in order to make your photographs stand out, you must think out-of-the-box. You must concentrate on clicking something unique, unusual with usual subjects that has an appeal, a wow-effect to the viewer.
Joining a good wildlife photography course is the start. Being a good wildlife photographer needs diligent practice at the workshop and the strong will to do better.

The two books Willow Tree and Olive (Irini Savvides) and Looking for Alibrandi (Melina Marchetta) are very similar and yet very different. There is a distinct connection between the storyline and the personality traits of the main characters of both novels. Yet there are contrasts between the methods by which the authors have employed in writing these novels.
Willow Tree and Olive is the story of Olive. Olive is of Greek descent and she struggles with conforming to the traditions of her culture. These problems with the combination of stress form the upcoming HSC exams causes Olive to have a nervous breakdown, which bring up suppressed memories of the past. This is the story of a girl who had the whole world planned when it all plummeted down. This is the story of hope in the face of adversity.
This novel begins slowly. Quite a bit of reading is required until the reader is able to fully grasp Olive's situation.
The plot drags along as the author takes time to develop the character and at points overemphasizing Olive's problems. As we progress further, things start to happen. When we discover finally what Olive's true problems are and she goes through her emotionally problems everything happens quickly. The reader is suddenly bombarded with fragments of ides and issues. After the incident, the story returns to the slow monotonous pace and the reader discovers more after the character clearly and is then prepared for the predictable ending. The characterisation is definitely there, the way the text even reflects the way Olive feels. The book itself is made of fragments of Olive's journey, sometimes including normal 1st person text, lists so forth.
Looking for Alibrandi is the story of Josephine Alibrandi, who is of Italian descent. She too is coming terms...

Microfabrication has become widely utilized to generate controlled microenvironments that establish chemical concentration gradients for a variety of engineering and life science applications. To establish microfluidic flow, the majority of existing devices rely upon additional facilities, equipment, and excessive reagent supplies, which together limit device portability as well as constrain device usage to individuals trained in technological disciplines. The current work presents our laboratory-developed bridged μLane system, which is a stand-alone device that runs via conventional pipette loading and can operate for several days without need of external machinery or additional reagent volumes. The bridged μLane is a two-layer polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic device that is able to establish controlled chemical concentration gradients over time by relying solely upon differences in reagent densities. Fluorescently labeled Dextran was used to validate the design and operation of the bridged μLane by evaluating experimentally measured transport properties within the microsystem in conjunction with numerical simulations and established mathematical transport models. Results demonstrate how the bridged μLane system was used to generate spatial concentration gradients that resulted in an experimentally measured Dextran diffusivity of (0.82±0.01)×10−6 cm2/s.
Images and schematic of the bridged μLane system. After photolithography and elastomeric molding, a microchannel with two reservoirs was fabricated in polymerized PDMS, defined as the first layer PDMS of the bridged μLane system. (a) This PDMS layer was then bonded onto an ultrasonically cleaned microscope glass slide. (b) A second layer of PDMS, consisting of a bridge channel and two chambers, was molded on top of the first layer PDMS. This layer of PDMS was defined as the second layer PDMS, or user interface layer, of the system. (c) The chambers in the second layer PDMS were fluidically connected with the reservoirs in the first layer PDMS, as shown in the bridged μLane system schematic (not to scale). The microchannel approximately measures 13 mm in length, 90 μm in depth, and 100 μm in width (averaged with the upper side of 95 μm and the lower side of 105 μm), as its semihemispherical cross section shown in inset.
Simulation of Dextran transport within the bridged μLane system. (a) The SRC, SRR, microchannel, SKR, SKC, and bridge channel were modeled using finite element software. The Dextran concentration in the SRC was set to a maximum of CH=40 ng/ml, while the Dextran concentration in the SKC was set to a minimum of CL=0 ng/ml. The bulk velocity within the microchannel was measured using fluorescent beads and inputted into the Dextran transport model for numerical simulation. All boundaries of the bridged μLane system were modeled as insulated from mass transfer. Dextran transport at different positions within the microchannel, x=5 mm, x=8 mm, and x=11 mm, was examined over time. One-dimensional convective diffusion equation was used to model the transport of Dextran within the microchannel, where C represents concentration, V is bulk velocity, and D is the diffusion coefficient. (b) The simulation illustrates that the Dextran concentration at a representative microchannel position of x=5 mm increases over time and reaches steady-state in 11 h.
(a) Images of Dextran transport within the microchannel at three representative positions over time. Fluorescence was initially observed throughout the microchannel in approximately 4 h with increasingly fluorescence intensity measured for up to 20 h. (b) Average intensity values measured every hour across three different channel sections are plotted to illustrate the Dextran concentration profile obtained experimental at steady-state. Scale: 100 μm.
Images of the bulk flow of beads within a μLane device (a) in the absence of the bridge channel and (b) within the bridged μLane system. Images illustrate the motion of individual beads across a fixed, representative channel section. Scale: 100 μm.
Graph of normalized experimental data obtained from Dextran transport experiments at detection positions within the bridged μLane system, compared against normalized simulation data generated from the 1D convective diffusion equation. These normalized data were plotted as a function of time. A range of Dextran diffusion coefficients between 0.7×10−6 cm2/s and 1.0×10−6 cm2/s and the experimentally measured mean bulk velocity for Dextran of V=0.37 μm/s were used in the numerical simulation to generate the Dextran concentration profiles shown at different detection positions over time.

No knee'd to worry–Theo not only a minor!on September 26, 2011 at 7:52 am
Word from the Arsenal camp this morning is that Theo
Word from the Arsenal camp this morning is that Theo
Match of the Day has rarely been so pleasant, not least in the last few months.
It was almost pleasant to see us so late on in the bill, no frills, nothing unexpected and they couldn't find anything to pick on.
In actual fact our midfield performed well, defensively and offensively. Rambo, Song and Arteta all tidy in possession, creative offensively with all three responsible for some great through balls. Ramsey grabbed two assists and Song a nice goal for his efforts.
Ramsey is beginning to show his obvious quality more and more now and it's great to see that he has recovered fully.
Our defence played well to the last man and it was pleasant to see Ol' Mert have a tidy game with some leggy clearances. Koscielny got another crack on the head and did well throughout.
Rather understated, barely mentioned was RvP's cracking first goal. MoTD highlighted the second. But the first an excellent piece of work in creating space and then hitting a low, powerful rocket beating the always impressive Jaaskelainen at his near post. It relieved the pressure and took off the hand-brake that always keeps being mentioned.
In summary, it was a good performance that has relieved a bit of pressure with the forthcoming Champs League game. I was pleased with our attacking flair and the amount of times we tested Jaaskelainen and how little we need to look at the goalkeeping position at Arsenal now. He certainly is a 'keeper and we need to keep him.
We just need another good performance midweek and then it's the totteringham mugs next weekend.
Come on you Gooners, follow King Robin to greatness once again.
'It is the fastest thing to lose and the slowest to get back' – Arsene Wenger on the subject of confidence.
Never has a statement ever summed up Arsenal Football Club so succinctly. Reeling from poor performances in the league against our peers, yet showing excellence in the cup competitions, it is an odd start to the season. Not a pleasant start at all.
I think we all knew if we lost the bright sparks of Cesc and Nasri we would struggle initially as the team found a new identity. As the transfers of the above players were completed the media licked its ink-stained lips in anticipation. How could we take that? Cesc was like a son of Wenger at the club and we are in a period of mourning and denial.
We became an easy target and the haggard, tired looking Arsene became the hunted, the target for all loose tag lines and daft comments made by ex-professional footballers who should know better. In some cases the 'professional' tag hangs loose on those that hide behind it.
At Shrewsbury we saw the beta version of Arsenal 3.0. The Ox bursting through the middle with the likes of Coquelin and Frimpong tidying up and feeding him. With current first-team this would break down into Song, Wilshire and Ramsey with the former players swapping in and out. We've seen Rambo play on the wing before and he was effective for Arteta's goal with a great run and cut-back.
I think we have a more fluid, mobile midfield now. We have more players for each position with the promotions and purchases and we have real quality in each position.
Sometimes the tree can take its time to bear its first fruit. We might not yet see the best of Arsenal 3.0 until Xmas, so we might not be at the top of the pile, but we will be fighting and that, surely, is all we can ask from our club? Players that play with passion and desire for the club?
That's all I want, players who care as much as I do. The new generation of players do.
So what of formations? On tuesday Arsene brought back the 4-4-2 and with success I feel. Much has been made of this with Arsene who swiftly rebuffed it as a permanent change, suggesting it was merely a vehicle to incorporate his playing talent for the game. Personally I think it was an experiment to see how effective the Ox is at breaking inside from the wing.
What I can imagine is RvP and Theo up front, with the Ox taking up the right wing slot. Leaving Wilshire and Song in the middle for games where we don't need to be so tight, where we take the game to the opposition. In the games against top opposition we can put three in the middle and revert back to 4-2-1-2-1 and play a tighter, midfield battle.
Today I just want a good result against the Trotters. We need to get our confidence, our va va voom, our Arsenal.
It's been a crazy summer, add to that an indifferent Arsenal side that played with passion but lacked the cutting edge that had been its trademark for so long.
Patience being the virtue that it is was stretched, plucked and pulled en-route to Transfer Deadline Day. The Arsenal blogosphere screamed for signings to replace the departing players. Money had to be spent and the transfers of Gervinho and Oxlade-Chamberlain, did little to settle the furore.
In the 48 hours approaching the deadline more players departed, Bendtner, Traore and Lansbury all leaving for clubs temporary and permanent. The squad looked thinner than ever before and it seemed that for all of the promises we were in big trouble.
Step up Arsene and Park Chu Young, a South Korean Captain and Striker from Monaco. He was halfway through a medical with Lille when he was spirited to London Colney for a medical and eventual transfer to Arsenal.
The Blogosphere was naturally unimpressed, it seemed again as if Arsene had made a signing in the wrong area. He'd just sold a left-back, what was he thinking?
He was thinking Andre Santos, Brazilian left-back, Copa America winner and holder of over 20 caps for Brazil and a goals per game ratio that would make an attacking midfielder look amazing (5 in 15 games).
Santos was confirmed on the morning of deadline day. Still the Fans weren't satisfied. Arsene was in France (spilled by Gilles Grimandi) negotiating a transfer and we needed more strength in the spine.
Almost as an afterthought, Per Mertesacker was announced on Arsenal.com – on a 4 year deal.
So, that's a striker, a well-needed left-back and a massively experienced, massively proportioned no-nonsense Centre-back. All for a suspected 18million pounds. Excellent business.
But not enough, our lack of cover in central midfield and out wide, offensively and experience-wise was a big concern.
Then a broadside hit us like a rampaging rhino. Arteta and Benayoun. Both signed at the death of the transfer deadline. Both seasoned professional Premier League players and both creative and proven players.
I think Thursday 1st September 2011 will stick in my mind forever as probably the most relieved I have ever been at the end of a transfer window. Some excellent business completed.
I can't wait for the international break to be over. Arsenal FC is back. Bring on Swansea.

Jacketed Quartz Heat Lamps
£31.60 – £54.00
This is a range of lamps dedicated to the production of heat rather than light
They are used primarily in catering but have many other applications where a heat source is required
If the lamp you have is not listed please give us a call or email us and we will try and find it for you!
Push fit connection will have small ceramic ends (like a halogen lamp in a security light)
The wire connection has two thin wires at each end
The metal strip connection has (strangely!) two thin metal strips or tabs on either end
A jacketed lamp will have a small, thin glass tube surrounded with a larger glass tube
If the lamp you have is thicker than a pencil but is ruby so you cant see inside then it is a jacketed lamp as the actual bit that lights up is about the thickness of a pencil.
Jacketed lamps also tend to have quite large ceramic ends on them – as in the picture
You can see if a lamp has a reflector or not as it is a different colour to the rest of the lamp and only on one side – obviously the reflector side must be placed at the back of the lamp so the light can shine out forwards!
You should be very careful about changing wattages as most fittings are designed to take a specific wattage so putting a higher wattage lamp in a fitting can be a fire risk.
We recommend to only replace a lamp with another of the same wattage
Additional information
Push fit, Wire Connection
1500 watt, 300 watt, 500 watt
216mm, 346mm
Clear, Ruby

One of the most important goals of the Lynbrook PTSA is to support our staff in every way we can.
Our wonderful parent body flooded the staff lounge with a much-appreciated multi-cultural variety of dishes and desserts for Staff Appreciation Day (May 13th). It was a fabulous spread and a brief, fun respite for our cherished and hard-working staff. We thank all our parents for their generous donations and contributions towards this meal.
Special thanks to chair Gina Rodriguez, and committee members Bina Thadani and Malini Srivastava for all their efforts to put this together.
Also thanks to generous donations from our membership this year and a lot of research by principal Gail Davidson, we were able to present our staff with a very special end-of-year gift - one adorable Viking Power mug for every one of our 144 staff members!

Kicking back and brainstorming a new post today, I decided that I wanted to explore something that has been eating away at my soul for some time now. Now those of you who know Porkchop, (that's me) know that I am not a huge number cruncher. In fact words like coefficient and numbers as big as thirty-seven have been known to make me stare into space cringe and grind my teeth. So I am going to try not to wade too deep in the muck so to speak. I have been worried about my personal potential as a raid healer and my class's ability to take on the role. So I would like to discuss for you, my holy paladin readers, why and how we are going to make phenomenal raid healers come lvl 85 in Cataclysm.
I know there are a lot of players out there who just don't think paladins should raid heal. They would rather us forever be pigeon holed as solely tank healers but I have seen the light. In the days before LoD and WoG I had been raid healing 6/12 in ICC with two healers (myself and a disc priest).
Even with the changes, most of our healing as raid healers is going to come in the form of single target heals. The big difference is now we finally have a couple raid wide heal bombs, the likes of which I always cursed Blizz for not having when trying to keep everyone alive during Stinky's Decimate. Don't get too caught up on the long CDs that come with them. Heal bombs are going to be used very situationally and most of the time HoPo is going to be better spent on WoG over LoD.
Juggling procs and cds perfectly is not going to make or break a fight but it is going to make a huge difference in one's ability be an efficient raid healer. The three main Procs we are going to want to track are Eternal Glory, Infusion of Light and Daybreak. I am using Procwatch to track these but I know a lot of people really like Power Auras as well.
Procs are not the only thing you should expect to be juggling. Believe it or not you're going to want to keep your Beacon going around as well. Glyph of Beacon of Light will be essential tossing around this buff like a gnome at a keg party. Constant beaconing will be a good habit because of the quick holy power you can generate with three points in Tower of Radiance. Priority will go to a dps or healer who take extra damage from a debuff like Saurfang's Mark of the Fallen Champion or someone who you know has trouble staying out of the fire. Other glyphs you're going to need as a raid healer are Glyph of Light of Dawn, Glyph of Cleansing and Glyph of the Long Word, really only if you want a HoT effect on WoG.
Let's not forget we have hands. Myself personally I almost never used these spells while spamming FoL on tanks during WotLK. HoP your ranged dps if they're taking damage (they can continue to pew pew while bubbled). HoS on melee in conjunction with our personal pally bubble. And be generous with HoF. Our hands will lend themselves to saving mana and mana conservation is going to be important when raiding in Cataclysm.
Paladins may not have the ability to just spam AoE heals like PoH/CoH or Chain Heal but that should not stop us from raid healing. We now have two spells in our toolkit that can handle simultaneous raid wide damage. We also have a variety of single target heals and defensive cds at our disposal. I want to encourage my brother and sister pallies to use what Blizz has given us to show the player base that we can handle our own as raid healers. Challenge yourself and have fun.

Laguna Beach will wrap itself in red, white and blue Saturday for the 45th annual Patriots Day Parade, a cavalcade of more than 100 entries, including military units, marching bands, classic cars, dance units, equestrians, floats, local organizations, businesses and schools, who will vie for prizes or just enjoy the accolades of their friends and neighbors.
The march will begin at 11 a.m. from Park Avenue and Short Street, near Laguna Beach High School, then turn right on Glenneyre Street and right on Forest Avenue, ending at City Hall.
It is said that half the town is in the parade and the other half watches, and the parade's festive spirit is contagious.
The parade theme is "Coming Home," a welcome to the troops returning from war in the Middle East. The parade began in 1967 as the dream of Lagunan Emily Ross, a member of the local Daughters of the American Revolution, Patience Wright Chapter.

Press Release
Alaska Joins Emissions Fraud Settlement with Volkswagen
June 28, 2016
(Anchorage, AK) – The Alaska Department of Law today joined 37 states in a settlement requiring Volkswagen to pay more than $570 million for marketing, selling, and leasing diesel vehicles equipped with illegal software to beat emissions tests. Alaska will receive $2.5 million under the settlement, based on the number of vehicles sold in the state. Alaskans who bought or leased vehicles are also eligible for payment under separate settlements. In total, there were 1,245 affected Volkswagen and Audi 2.0-liter diesel vehicles in Alaska.
According to the investigation by the attorneys general, Volkswagen sold more than 570,000 2.0- and 3.0-liter diesel vehicles in the United States containing the "defeat device" software, which intentionally gives a false reading to pass emissions tests. The company actively hid the existence of the defeat device from regulators and the public. In their marketing and advertisements, Volkswagen misled the public by promoting the cars as environmentally friendly or "green" and able to pass emissions tests, when, in fact, Volkswagen knew the vehicles emitted harmful pollutants at a much higher rate than the law permitted.
Under separate class action and federal settlements, Volkswagen is on the hook for up to $10 billion to consumers. Volkswagen is required to implement a restitution and recall program for more than 475,000 owners and lessees of 2.0 liter diesel vehicles with model years 2009 through 2015. Once the consumer restitution program has court approval, consumers who purchased or leased the affected vehicles will receive a restitution payment of at least $5,100. Purchasers will have the option of either selling the vehicle back to Volkswagen or having it fixed, and lessees can either terminate the lease with no penalty or have it fixed.
The full details of the consumer program will be available online at VWCourtSettlement.com and www.ftc.gov/VWSettlement.
For more information, contact Assistant Attorney General Davyn Williams at (907) 269-5200 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Tech Journal October 4, 2010 09:22 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email Field Checks from the Sky Farmers can get a bird's-eye view of their crops, land, livestock and operation without leaving the ground with the AutoCopter. This unmanned, remote-controlled helicopter retails for $30,000 and costs about $2 an hour to operate. The high-quality digital camera capability of the AutoCopter enables farmers to survey and target precise areas with video. Precision nutrient mapping, tracking livestock, inspecting fences and examining a roof for hail damage are just a few potential farm-and-ranch applications for this device. The AutoCopter has stabilized software that allows it to hover over targeted field areas, providing a mobile aerial platform for surveillance, photography and sensor management. Learn more about this new technology at www.autocopter.net . Tire Trends to Reach Farm Fields As farmers look to stretch available manpower to cover more acreage, their demand for larger-scaled equipment has increased. Members of the tire industry have responded accordingly. Michelin, for one, is introducing its first VF-class tire for sprayers this year. The D speed–rated SprayBib radial tire debuts as the first and only row-crop sprayer tire to meet the Tire and Rim Asso-ciation's very high flexion (VF) classification. The SprayBib tire flexes and runs at significantly lower air pressures. As a result, it delivers a larger footprint with more lugs in the soil, giving the machine better traction and less slippage and farmers a better ride and the opportunity to get into fields sooner without damage. The SprayBib radial is the only high-clearance tire for sprayers that can carry 14,330 lb. at speeds up to 40 mph. The tire delivers an expected wear life of three to five years versus an industry standard of one to two years. More information on the SprayBib radial is available at www.michelinag.com. Telemetry-based Machinery Tracking The new AgCommand vehicle-tracking system is a state-of-the-art, telematics-based data-recording tool from AGCO. The system monitors machine location, operation and efficiency on-the-go to help farmers and retailers manage their machines' uptime, control costs and maximize operational efficiency. Telemetry-based tracking is an emerging trend in agriculture that has the potential to help managers optimize equipment performance and cover more ground more efficiently. In addition, the technology records equipment function and performance in order to identify if adjustments or repairs are needed. This makes maintenance easier to track and plan and helps to enhance machine life. Visit www.agcotechnologies.com. Vehicle Install Kits Offer Multiple Precision Applications The AutoFarm ParaDyme GPS System now offers Vehicle Installation Kits to match more than 500 models of tractors, sprayers, spreaders, combines and swathers. ParaDyme installation and steering kits are available across a range of ag equipment brands, with the most recent additions including bolt-on kits for any John Deere, Case IH or New Holland combine built within the past 10 years. The rollout also includes kits for additional tractor brands such as Massey Ferguson, Fendt and Deutz. The ParaDyme System is a single system incorporating all facets of precision farming: planter control, application control, yield monitoring, data logging and management, plus hands-free GPS steering via WAAS, EGNOS, OmniSTAR HP/XP and RTK. It is also GLONASS-ready. With its unique factory-integrated wireless, ParaDyme offers a remote real-time service connection to the dealer in addition to optional RTK ReadyConnect, which provides RTK correction without a base station.

I'm not sure about how your project will work out. However, I can comment on how it works where I live.
Quickly looking over the article, the author mentions how water is provided free in nature and thus should not be sold. The government authority here that provides water to my home sends a bill requiring me to pay, or else I'll lose my water supply.
What natural rights to sustenance exist? If water is agreed to as a free resource because it is vital to life, how about food? Shelter? Land? The opposition to privatization seems to rely solely on this "natural right" in the face of greater utilization to the consumer. The author also places water distribution as the highest of government functions. How about defense, keeping the peace, and so on?
Remember that nature provides water with all manner of metals, parasites, bacteria and viruses. The author's resistance to profit is borne out of ignorance. I can go on about the profit mechanism, how if water yields great profits than more individuals will choose to become suppliers and so on. If water prices tripled after privatization, were government subsidies keeping the price down? If so, how did that affect water quality and distribution? Subsidization imposes economic costs on your water consumers anyway. If the company simply raised prices independent of any idea of costs, are competitors allowed to supply water as well?
Is the current method in which water is distributed good? Will this company have government protections if it does a bad job, thereby jeopardizing the competitive drive to produce a good product? Are mechanisms in place for others to join in water treatment and distribution?
If the company enjoys government protections that change its incentives to do anything other than compete for its survival through providing superior service, this would cause many quality and other issues. If a water market can work, I'm all for it -- yay.

So I visited my mother this weekend and when I went to bed Friday night I had a one eared puppy.
That left ear has NEVER stood up!
Well...once I woke up Saturday morning I was greeted with a puppy flaunting TWO fully functioning ears.
I guess a little time on the family farm cured our one eared wonder!
(sorry for the poor picture quality)
Views: 123
Maverick's second ear NEVER wanted to come up. I thought he was going to look permanently confused and half interested! Way to go, pup!
Dogs are weird. Very, very weird. Eared and weird? :-D
Sweet sweet sweet!!
So cute!
Sometimes it takes a little while for both ears to stand up, but once they do, there is nothing cuter than a Corgi puppy. Enjoy every minute with your little one .............

Office of Dennis Hastert
Speaker of the House
235 Cannon HOB
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Hastert,
I was pleased to hear that you were interested in placing a rider for Oceanography Research of the Hawaiian Islands on the upcoming stimulus package. I've been involved in conducting Aquatic related research for the Federal Government for the past decade. Some of my more esteemed projects included the 'Study of Inoculation of the semi-transparent Sea Turtle', 'Why Sea Otters and Orca Whales don't get along', 'Salmon are from the Atlantic, Halibut are from the Pacific' and of course my favorite 'Dolphin Sonar and Star Wars: How Aquatic Sonar may stop the next Nuclear War'. Each of these well funded Federal programs provided Congress with much needed research to help in deciding where tax dollars for future fiscal periods should be spent. For instance, no longer does the government attempt to house Sea Otters and Orca's in the same location, saving American's millions in annual Sea Otter replacement.
My years of experience and tract record show that any representative that sponsors one of my projects will not regret it. Of course, I am only as good as my team and require the sponsor of the Federal Project to make regular visits and put in their input for the good of the American Tax Payer. I know that this requirement may be of great distress to you, with your busy schedule, however, I will require that you spend at least two weeks a quarter on or around the site. The Hawaiian Islands are remote and can be a very dangerous place, the eminent threat of volcanic eruptions can make even the bravest weak at the knees, so please carefully consider your decision in regards to sponsoring this project.
I got my...
