Re: PESO: Bandit
On a related note, I'm entered in a dog sled race next January. A kennel in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - 'Nature's Kennel' offered a package that will include some training, instruction a dog handler along with a 4 dog team sled to enter an appropriate class in a race that will run in the Two Hearted River area of the Upper Peninsula. I had done some sledding this last February with this kennel with a 6 dog team and just couldn't refuse this when the opportunity presented itself. This 6 dog team I had could run in the 8 to 12 mph range for 50 miles or so according to the dog handler. The dogs the kennel raises are smaller than malamutes and are bred for solely racing. They are around 50 to 60 lbs and are all muscle. Once I started to put them in harness, it was all I could do to restrain them. I did stop once for some photos had to tie the sled off to a tree to prevent them from running off. Ed, the owner of the kennel, has been one of the highest placing sledders from the lower 46 in the Iditarod and has completed the race 5 or 6 times. I'm hoping to capture some video and possibly some stills of the race. In February the zero degree cold got to the batteries before I could capture any images.

My previous Malamutes all went to obedience training. They generally were the first to learn each exercise, but the objected to repeating the exercises over and over. Too Boring. I do have a dog sled (and a wheeled rig for training when there is no snow). Of course, it takes more than one or two dogs to make a dog team, so I have to join up with other members of the local club so that we can run our dogs on the sled. We will probably get a female in the spring -- somehow they are happier and better behaved if they have a canine companion -- but they have to be almost adults before they can be put on the sled.

A kennel in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - 'Nature's Kennel' offered a package that will include some training, instruction a dog handler along with a 4 dog team sled to enter an appropriate class in a race that will run in the Two Hearted River area of the Upper Peninsula. I had done some sledding this last February with this kennel with a 6 dog team and just couldn't refuse this when the opportunity presented itself. This 6 dog team I had could run in the 8 to 12 mph range for 50 miles or so according to the dog handler. The dogs the kennel raises are smaller than malamutes and are bred for solely racing. They are around 50 to 60 lbs and are all muscle. Once I started to put them in harness, it was all I could do to restrain them. I did stop once for some photos had to tie the sled off to a tree to prevent them from running off. Ed, the owner of the kennel, has been one of the highest placing sledders from the lower 46 in the Iditarod and has completed the race 5 or 6 times. I'm hoping to capture some video and possibly some stills of the race. In February the zero degree cold got to the batteries before I could capture any images.

My previous Malamutes all went to obedience training. They generally were the first to learn each exercise, but the objected to repeating the exercises over and over. Too Boring. I do have a dog sled (and a wheeled rig for training when there is no snow). Of course, it takes more than one or two dogs to make a dog team, so I have to join up with other members of the local club so that we can run our dogs on the sled. We will probably get a female in the spring -- somehow they are happier and better behaved if they have a canine companion -- but they have to be almost adults before they can be put on the sled.

Re: I'm ok
Protecting society for one, yes, and also the belief is widely held that prison is meant to motivate to resocialize even though by now it is principally understood that this is not or not always or not necessarily so... IMO juvenile offenders should be sent to prison for a short time the very first time around rather than to give them umpteen raised index fingers and then another umpteen wrist slaps and then maybe after they've committed their first 15 or so violent crimes to send them to kiddie prison with horseback riding and youth discount... all that is achieved by doing so IMO is to teach them that you can get away with a lot and maybe even get rewarded for it by positive attention. Spending two nights in a cell with a bunch of felons after your first shoplifting dare would probably cure a number of people of wanting to experience that again. And no, I do not believe in 3 strikes. I just think that if a threat is to be effective it should be visible. And first and foremost, I believe that good parenting, respect, attention and most of all education are the best crime prevention out there. And as to Anders Bering Breivik or Andrew Berwick as he liked to call himself on the internet is IMO a manic nutjob who should be locked away from all and any publicity.

GESO - Aussie Rules Football
The other day I was headed down to the lake to shoot whatever flora and/or fauna was making itself available, when I heard the sounds of a sporting event from the other side of the trees at what I knew to be a playing field at a local college. As I approached I ascertained that they were playing Australian Rules Football - which I had no idea was played in these parts. But I was wrong. Watched about 3/4 of a game and I'm still not sure I fully understand it, but it seems a cross between Rugby and North American Football. As opposed to our football, these guys actually kick the ball quite a bit. They catch it, too, and if they do that before the ball hits the ground the whistle blows and they kick it again. I think. Seems like organized mayhem, with lots of scrums, yelling and swearing (much of that with an Aussie accent - seems many of the players are antipodean), but it was all in good fun: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/aussie-rules-football.html Hope you enjoy this little gallery.

Watched about 3/4 of a game and I'm still not sure I fully understand it, but it seems a cross between Rugby and North American Football. As opposed to our football, these guys actually kick the ball quite a bit. They catch it, too, and if they do that before the ball hits the ground the whistle blows and they kick it again. I think. Seems like organized mayhem, with lots of scrums, yelling and swearing (much of that with an Aussie accent - seems many of the players are antipodean), but it was all in good fun: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/aussie-rules-football.html Hope you enjoy this little gallery.

I should add that I bought the machine used, and I forget how old it was when I bought it. I had a Singer before the one I just traded in, and that was used as well, and I had it for probably about 20 years--my new machine should last a good long while!

Re: I'm ok
I would hope that the containment bit would only apply to regular criminals whereas this guy who is quite obviously stark raving mad would hopefully be locked away under a different law governing the treatment of the dangerously mentally ill. Either way IMO someone who murdered so many kids in cold blood wouldn't last long in prison unless locked away in solitary. We must not forget though that hate breeds hate and punishment has never brought back even a single victim. But I admit that if I was father of one of the victims I doubt I could walk past him without an attempt at his sorry life. 2011/7/26 Tanya Love tanyal...@bigpond.com: Perhaps, fortunate to a degree.

But the more I thought about it, I realized that the eyes of the young hitter (and that wonderful expression on his face just after he smacked the line drive) were all I needed - the spectator was just a distraction.

Re: I'm ok
Unfortunately he's not stark raving mad, but he is delusional. People can be delusional and still live normal lives, then they decided that they can fly, without the benefit of wings, or spark a crusade by personal example.

Either way IMO someone who murdered so many kids in cold blood wouldn't last long in prison unless locked away in solitary. We must not forget though that hate breeds hate and punishment has never brought back even a single victim. But I admit that if I was father of one of the victims I doubt I could walk past him without an attempt at his sorry life. 2011/7/26 Tanya Lovetanyal...@bigpond.com: Perhaps, fortunate to a degree.

Re: I'm ok
Revenge is repugnant. But punishment,which is essentially making one responsible for one's actions, is necessary to maintain any semblance of a civilized society. Nine years at the front of a secondary school classroom made that abundantly clear.
