...Hunting Dogs Charging into the cattails, my golden Labrador retriever flushes a huge male pheasant. My dad pulls the trigger, the pheasant is hit, but it is still flying. I tuck my shotgun in, and BOOM! The rooster is falling to the ground. My two dogs a English setter and a Labrador Retriever, takes off towards the spot where they saw the big bird go down. After a couple of minutes of sweeping the area, looking for the pheasant, we couldn't find it, so we moved on. Later that day, as my dad and I were walking in the field, our English setter froze up on point. Both my dad and I walk up to break the point when three Hungarian partridges break I pull up and get one and so does my dad. The night is a fun one, because we eat the two birds and my dad tells stories about his hunting trips. Read on for even more of those stories. The Labrador retriever is one of the most family friendly dogs, I think. According to the American Kennel Club the Labrador retriever is owned by over a million people. "The best for any kind of shooting... generally black and no bigger than a pointer, very fine in legs, with short, smooth hair... extremely quick running, swimming, and fighting... and their sense of smell is hardly to be credited," noted British sportsman Colonel Hawker, referring to the Labrador retriever. The Labrador was originally bred in Canada in the 1800's and used for hunting waterfowl for the most part. With their big mouths, they can retrieve the biggest types...

He/She likes to have a good time at parties and watch sports in a group with his/her friends. They enjoy the limelight in a gathering and can turn a boring party into a fun-filled event.

...Games (CWG) in Delhi from October 5 to October 14 were orchestrated in typical Indian style. Until the eleventh hour, nothing was ready. There were fears that the event would have to be called off. Charges of corruption were rampant. (After suspending probes during the period of the Games, several investigative agencies have been unleashed again.) The facilities were reported to be way below acceptable standards. The Scottish delegation found dogs in their beds in the Games Village; the South Africans found a snake. But, in the end, it was a superb show. "Commonwealth Games 2010 finish with India triumphant," said the London Guardian. Prior to the games, former Union sports minister Mani Shankar This is a single/personal use copy of India Knowledge@Wharton.

...to meet with Charles (Chuck) Griffin, take the dogs for a walk, and get a cup of coffee from the Deer Perk coffee shop located in Deer Park, Texas. Chuck was a bold character, never backing down from an opportunity to bring a smile to the faces of his friends and family. Every week, I met Chuck outside the gated, community east of Houston, Texas. We shared a comedic greeting, usually at my expense, regarding haircut, eyeglasses, or clothing and gingerly began our walk towards the soccer, fields located behind a group of shops smartly placed to attract patrons of the sporting events which occurred regularly. Our walks were always filled with laughter about current events, coworkers, or politicians. Two to three hundred feet from the park, our energy filled canines would started to show their excitement as they anticipated our destination and the activities always afforded them by this midweek rendezvous. Frisbees always began flying well before we arrived at the center of the soccer fields. Dogs came off the leashes and bolted in the direction towards those floating discs, always wanting to be the first to sink their teeth into what we thought must be the best tasting plastic around. Chuck’s dog (Sam), more often the winner with the longer legs and the more muscular of the two, always held his head high as he trotted back towards his master, looking like the police dog who had just found the drugs. Shane (my dog) continually tried to take the trophy and perform...

...Natural Vs Artificial Selection in dogs that has been altered to suit a person’s need Introduction Dogs exist in both wild and domestic set-up whereby they vary in shape and size. This means that there are different breeds of dogs resulting from artificial and natural selection. Each existing species was created separately but they can be modified by the environment. However, these changes are limited hence cannot produce a new species. Artificial selection is whereby a species of a particular plant or animal is modifies by breeders into a distinct breed with unique physical attributes. The offspring obtained from each breeding process may exhibit minimal differences that only a breeder can identify. The aim of this breeding process is to breed an offspring with desired physical attributes, which is then allowed to breed further. An offspring with undesired physical attributes is not allowed to breed. The breeding process is repeated until the small differences observed increase gradually. This represents the process of artificial selection (Venemma). Natural selection represents a similar process that occurs in nature. In a natural setup, organisms normally vary hence reproduce at a specific geometric rate. Survival of these organisms depends on adaptation to the natural environment (Pollan 23). This creates a division whereby organisms that are environmentally suited will reproduce and those not suited will die. This is a resemblance of artificial selection, but this natural...

...Siltanen, chairman and chief creative officer of Siltanen & Partners. Last super bowl, the company used celebrity Kim Kardashian to create buzz for their Shapeups sneakers by showing a sex appeal advertisement. Kardashian’s contract expired in late 2011 and she was not resigned by Skechers due to her recent negative publicity. This year, Kim Kardashian was replaced by a French bulldog who appealed to a wider audience. The commercial featured the dog named Mr. Quigley who was sporting athletic clothing and two pairs of red Skechers Gorun sneakers. He is shown racing a pack of greyhounds at Tucson Greyhound Park and not only wins the race, but also manages to do the moonwalk across the finish line to rapper Tone Loc’s hit single, “Wild Thing”. The commercial ends with a funny remark stated by billionaire entrepreneur and owner of Landmark Theaters and the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban. The use of animals, especially dogs, was a featured trend of this year’s super bowl commercials. A lot of people enjoy pets, so the use of a cute dog in this commercial makes it easy for anyone to relate to. In the Skechers commercial, the use of Mr. Quigley demonstrates the company’s attempt at humor appeal for their audience and it is also a metaphor for the brand as the company’s CMO, Leonard Armato, states “There’s an underdog in all of us”. Skechers succeeded with this commercial in reaching the intended audience as a sneak peak was pre released prior to its full premiere during the super...

...spending time with friends catching up watching a movie all the way to taking my dog for a walk on the beach on a sunny day. These leisure activities for me, make my life a more pleasant place to be involved in personally as I know especially when I am playing sport that my true character shines through. It also gives me an outlet outside of my current university study and work hours to do something that I very much enjoy participating in as I love the social side of life. Leisure for me is what makes me happy and is a break from all the assignments and exams of university life. 2) When we think of leisure in terms of time, it usually refers to some portion of our lives in which we have comparatively greater freedom to do what we want (Godbey, 2003). With that in mind, I do believe that leisure can be applied to everyone when they actually sit down and think about leisure. Leisure can be broken down into rather small pieces of life and when we do that I do believe that everyone does participate in some form leisure activity whether it being going for a walk, playing with the animals at home or at a park right the way through to organised sporting activities. In life there is always a need for a leisure activity, as it is here often where the person will enjoy their life the most as it is time away from work and life commitments. Leisure time and can be spent alone or can be experienced in a group or amongst...

Well, did you know that according to USA Today the average player salary in the National Basketball Association today is $3.7 million dollars per year? Average! The rookie minimum is over $300,000 and Kevin Garnett the NBA’s highest paid player earned $28 million this season. According to Forbes the average value of a franchise in the National Basketball Association is currently around $240 million, a private business group from Oklahoma recently paid $350 million for our Seattle Supersonics franchise. Thesis: Please keep these figures in mind this evening as I discuss with you why our tax dollars should not go towards funding a new arena for the Seattle Supersonics basketball franchise. Preview: This topic should be of concern to all of you and tonight I will explain why through documented statistical evidence. My research will show why it is unreasonable for a professional sports franchise to ask the taxpayers to pay for their playground through our hard earned tax dollars. II. Need: A. Proponents of sports facilities have tried to justify public spending on these projects with the claim that they enhance redevelopment in urban areas, however very little research exists that actually supports these claims.
