It since has been observed in Våler, Skiptvet, Spydeberg and Svinndal in Østfold County. The local hunting season south of Hedmark starts October 5 and will last all month. A wildlife conservation official in Østfold, Åsmund Fjellbakk, told newspaper VG that he now has heard that a hunting team in the area is keen on tracking down the rare animal and making it into...

When he was out casting his line with a friend on Sunday morning, Lagekvist thought his lure had snagged the bottom of Lillsjön lake in central Sweden. But as he started to reel in his line, the 24-year-old realized he had hooked something else completely. What emerged from the water’s murky depths wasn’t a giant fish or a tree root, but the outline of an enormous elk. “My first thought was, ‘What the hell do I do if... www.thelocal.se http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2087813/posts#comment Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:50:29 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2082584/posts MitchellC will take over administration of the NC Ping list. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2082584/posts#comment Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:14:01 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2082388/posts There were speculations on the Yahoo contingency site that said something about a DOS attack.

The logo, originally designed in 1970 and used by the rock band ever since, sold in the US for $92,500 (£51,375). Half the cost was met by charity The Art Fund, which called the work "one of the most visually dynamic logos ever". Artist John Pasche, who sold the artwork, was originally paid £50 for creating the design. The Stones were so pleased with the logo that, in 1972, they gave him a bonus of £200.

In a statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein, the actor said he did so voluntarily, adding: "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Though the nation was flush with men some 30 years ago, due to immigration policies that favored males, today's Australian women have it harder than their baby boomer sisters did 30 years ago. Demographer Bernard Salt's book "Man Drought," which was released this week, reveals that love is really where you look for it in Australia, and that it pays to go the distance. “There is simply less product for 30-something women, in particular, to choose from,” he said.
