Seriously...this war on fat is insane...it's actually now against FEDERAL law to sell soda at school during lunchtime....$15,000 fine. Are you kidding me? Tell me your kidding... no....no your not...it's apparantly been in effect since 2004 nation wide. This fixed the epidemic right? In the last 8 years childhood obesity has been obliterated...right? Okay so no it hasn't.... School cuts art program to pay for soda fine. Who needs creative outlets anyway? Home schooling is looking better all the time.

We have this bridge in our area, it's a rail bridge for trains, that passes over US 61 in downtown Davenport, Iowa. I can remember as a kid, when a milk tanker got ripped open by this bridge, and milk was all over the street. Over the years, all kinds of trucks (semis), I think they are called "lorrys" (sp) in the UK, have hit the bridge and been pealed open. Link is to the local paper's Web site with photos over the years. http://qctimes.com/historic-photos-q-c-s-truck-eating-bridges/collection_0b1b72cc-4fd7-11e0-b650-001cc4c03286.html

I know this is not Husky related - but ... This weekend just gone, my 9year old daughter (Jasmine) entered the 17th Houvast Tournament held in Mierlo Holland representing GREAT BRITAIN. She has entered this for the past 4 years and has always been unlucky. However, this year she annihilated her opponents and had already won the GOLD medal after 3 of her fights (5 in total)! I have never been so proud of my kids. Unfortunately other members of our club were not so fortunate - why do foreign ref's have to be so biased against the British? We should have easily bought home another 4 medals, but the refs were just refusing to give scores to our fighters throws . …

http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/05/saint-bernard-sacrifices-self-saves-family-from-fire/ kinda controversial down there in the comments section... but IMO the family shouldn't be blamed. How do you suppose to handle the things to save, the children, the panic, the fire AND the dog altogether? the owner even got back to the house crawling on his belly tried to search for the dog doesn't sound fair to blame him =\

Husky Owners F1 Bets Guide Each player begins the race weekend with 200 Husky Dollars (HD) You play by placing an amount of HD on each criteria until you have no remaining HD from the 200 you began with.

Its also claimed that huskies are becoming a fashion accessory. 'They are very demanding. They need a lot of exercise. They can be destructive around the home. They are not ideal for a pet.Breeders themselves need to be a bit more responsible in selecting who they give their dogs to.' Mathew …

I don't normally watch this homecoming vids but I saw this one on the news and it brought me to tears. It's really amazing what love and perseverance can bring It really did me in at the end lol when that sweet little boy refused to take his eyes off his dad. "When my husband left on his deployment, our 6-year-old son could not walk on his own. He has cerebral palsy. Doctors originally said that he would never walk or do much of anything. While daddy was away, he learned to walk. For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!" http…

Major tissue warning this had me in tears hopefully this brave girl makes a full and complete recovery so she can continue to watch over her family I do think that news shouldn't have said the mother's problem though it can be severely misconstrued by the public. http://www.cnn.com/video/?%2Fvideo%2Fus%2F2012%2F05%2F09%2Fdnt-ma-dog-pulls-owner-off-train-tracks.wcvb#/video/us/2012/05/09/dnt-ma-dog-pulls-owner-off-train-tracks.wcvb

Original Article with Pictures Here It is SO rare to see the family of someone who commits a crime actually appoligize to the victims. I'm actually genuinely impressed...even though their kid is a thug they recognize that breaking into old people's homes is a bad bad thing.
