Life with a Siberian Husky I really had no idea what I was getting intowhen I decided to get a Siberian Husky for a pet. Don't get me wrong: Iwouldn't trade him for anything and I love him dearly, but this animal has hisown plan - his own agenda. The last three years of my life have been anawakening to the downright mischievous nature of these dogs. I've met other Husky owners and they all have the same stories of their dogs running away and possessing the trademark Husky stamina. They also tell of the little idiosyncrasies, such as their dogs "talking" and the way Huskies know when you're speaking about them when they are in the room. All of these owners are amazed at the Houdini-like capabilities these dogs have to help them escape any enclosure. I have a few entertaining stories of my own about my Husky, Khayman. First of all, he is the dog that everyone loves and no one wants to own. I can barely get anyone to watch him for more than ten minutes. It's not that Khayman is a mean animal--he isn't--he is just clever. Part of the reason everyone likes him is because of his looks, but mostly he's got a lot of personality. His bandit mask and two different colored eyes (blue and brown) get him attention, pats on the head, dog biscuits at the gas station, and royal treatment whenever anyone finds him on his escapades (which, mind you, have been many). His first escapades didn't take him far, mostly running down the street a few blocks after bum rushing the door. That routine started at four or five months of age. It rapidly progressed as he grew larger, gained strength, and acquired confidence (read attitude). When I moved to Bend, Khayman was eight months old and starting to really grow up, but also starting to get really clever. The first night we were in Bend, he found the weak board in the fence, escaped, went up the street to the horses and just sat there - barking at them. In Central Oregon, that kind of behavior gets clever dogs in trouble. So, I picked him up at the dog jail, sans the $250 fine, went home, and fixed ALL the boards in the fence. It was around this time that my dog developed a taste for women's underwear. This was back in the era of living with my girlfriend so, needless to say, Khayman had found a new way to keep me on my toes. At eight or nine months, a Husky has much energy and thinks he is very cool. Thus, he hears his name shouted in a harsh tone, followed by the word "NO", quite frequently. There was an instance where he chewed some panties and hid the evidence in his blanket until my girlfriend found them all - worthless and torn. Then he started to actually ingest them, and this was almost the end of Khayman. He ate an especially good pair that he didn't want to take the heat for, and he got sick. It caused a blockage in his intestine that almost killed him and ended up costing me one thousand dollars of emergency surgery. I should have had them install a zipper in his belly. When Khayman was a year or so old, that's when the real fun began. The underwear scene was old hat by then, so he took to running away. First, it was on short hikes by the river when he would take off for a couple of hours - sometimes making me late for work. Once, I slept out in a tent in a snowstorm waiting for him to return. I awoke to fresh, jumping dog tracks (Khayman loves the cold and snow) leading to the open canopy of my pick up. The Milk Bone that I had left there was eaten and Khayman had enjoyed a nice nap. After a few of these types of situations, my Husky stepped it up a notch. I was hiking by Mt. Hood and had camped for the evening and slept until morning with the dog by my side. The crack of dawn brought a few deer near my camp and Khayman gave chase. The next time I saw him was five days later in Wamic, a small town twenty miles away from where I lost him. I know this because I watched my odometer while I was pursuing what I thought to be his tracks. How I found him is a different story altogether, as he had no tags. Who knows how far Khayman ran in those five days. If I could afford, I'd put a small camera and a GPS on his collar just to see what he does for almost a week, by himself, in the wilderness. As I said, he started off chasing deer, got lost and probably started circling around , then headed downhill out of the Cascades into the flatlands. First he went to the RV camp at Rock creek reservoir. I ran into a guy who told me that there was a sign at the Wamic store that someone had found a Husky. I drove the 8 or 10 miles to Wamic, found the sign on the board that read, "FOUND HUSKY MIX, DARK COLLAR LEFT BLUE EYE" and I knew that I had found my dog again. He made it 20 miles through wilderness during hunting season that week. God bless him. The Mt. Hood story is the most original and best tale of tracking my dog down throughout the wilderness area, but there were others: the South Sister story, the Dillon Falls story, and the story of outsmarting a few of my roommates. Like I said, I wouldn't trade him for any other dog, but I would caution anyone thinking about owning a Husky for the first time. I would also wish them huge piles of patience and luck.
By the 1700’s, The northern and souther colonies had evolved into two distinct societies. This is so because the northern and southern colonies had different environments and also different reasons of settlement. The North was established for mainly religious freedom, while on the other hand, the south had been established for economic freedom. The climate also affected the different turnout of the north and the south. The north was much colder and so their soil was not beneficial for farming, so the people of the north found other jobs, while on the other side, the south had rich soil and the colonists there used that idea to set up huge plantations and farms.
The subject does not accurately depict the human anatomy. In fact, while studying this figure, one may notice that geometric shapes make up many of the limbs. For example, the artist uses ovals to represent the palm of the hands, the shoulders and the knees. The man's chest is in the form of squares with rounded edges and with perfect little white circles as nipples. This...
The economic differences between the North and the South were already formed during the American colonial period under the Britain. The Britain used American colonies for raising the British’s economic prosperity. For instance, they used their colonies to grow crops that did not grow in the Britain due to geographical reasons. Tobacco was one of the profitable crops, which was well grown in the southern region of North America. As the southern areas lacked in population and labors compared to the northern areas, African slaves were imported to the South. On the other hand, as the northern areas were closer to Europe, the ports for trades especially with the Britain and Europe were developed in the northern cities like Boston.
Since the beginning of the Market Revolution, the institution of slavery became the leading factor that intensified the relations between the North and the South. Regarding the geographic differences between the North and South, the South was primarily agrarian and the North was mainly urban. Therefore, the North rapidly industrialized while the South remained relatively rural and cotton-slave based. As a result, the Market Revolution economically separated the North and the South and created a second party system. Thus, the issues of pro-slavery and anti-slavery arose between the Southern Democrats and Northern Republicans in the 1850s. The North desired to halt the expansion of slavery into western territories while the South strongly opposed. These two opposing parties led to radical abolitionism in the North, William Henry Seward and John Brown, and extreme secessionism in the South, James Henry Hammond, and South Carolina Ordinance of Secession. Due to their strict ideologies regarding slavery, both parties could not compromise on the issue of the expansion of slavery. Therefore, according to Americans in the years prior to the Civil War, conflict was inevitable.
The "Roaring Twenties" were a turbulent time in American history. The United States had just returned from the carnage of World War I and was ready to revolutionize their ideas, morals, and most importantly, their presidents. The presidential election of 1920 was a particularly integral election due to the introduction of the right of women to vote and America's social & political unrest. Warren G. Harding, a Republican, defeated Democrat James M. Cox, on a platform that urged Americans to "return to normalcy". Normalcy was a play on words of normality by Harding, which meant to conform to the norm. But the question that stood on many historians was: Why did Americans actually vote to "return to normalcy"? The simple answer was that the nation was ready to recover from their wartime anxiety and wanted a country without financial or political stress and Harding was the president that promised that to them.
The true causes of unrest are sometimes difficult to determine. Frequently, there are a mixture of political alliances, economic differences, ethnic feuds, religious differences and others: This paper looks at the unrest between the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland.
The British occupation of Ireland began in the 1640’s and lasted until 1922. No other occurrence throughout Irish history has had a greater impact on the lives of the citizens of the country. Along with the act of occupation came the emergence of Protestantism, which conflicted with the traditional religion of Ireland, Catholicism. The English occupation of Ireland affected many aspects of Irish history from the potato famine to the War for Independence. However, Irish nationalism came to a boiling point April of 1916, in what is now known as the Easter Uprising. The uprising lasted 6 days and resulted in massive casualties, but furthered the liberation cause for the Irish.
A quick learner, he adapts well to the sled dog life. His heritage also helped him become accustomed to the harsh Klondike climate. Some difficulties such as sore feet and a voracious appetite set him back at the beginning, but he speedily overcomes them. Buck goes through several masters and many thousands of miles. Along the way, he learns “The Law of Club and Fang”: never challenge a human that has a weapon, and once a fighting dog falls to the ground, roaming huskies quickly destroy it.

In the northern colonies the settlers made most of the things they needed. They did not have the money or credit to import items from England. The southern colonists exported tobacco and more of them had credit with England and were able to import much of what they needed.
English persecution of the Irish people is one cause of the tensions in Northern Ireland. Before 1793 Irish Catholics were persecuted by British law. Catholics were not allowed to buy and sell land, get proper education, marry Protestants or vote. This fueled problems in Ireland. After 1793 Britain was afraid, after loosing America, that a revolution would happen in Ireland. So the restrictions on the Irish Catholics were done away with. This however angered the protestants who formed the Orange Order, who was against the Catholics. This all came to a head when in 1798 when a small rebellion broke out.
...outh were exceedingly different. In the early days of settlement, the northern colonies relied heavily of fur trading and fishing as a means of pecuniary survival. For the most part, New England worked for self sustainment. In the south, the settlers ran large plantations growing tobacco, rice, and sugar for the purpose of export for financial gain. Most of the southern settlements were established principally to meet the demands of a world market and to become wealthy in the process.
