Watch our for that cow!
I love Disney. We go there once or twice a year and wish we could go more. We just went in March and are now planning a second trip this year for Thanksgiving. But I have to get this story off my chest. It drives me crazy. I guess the moral of the story is that behind the curtain it is a big business. I kind of wish I hadn't pulled the curtain back. However that being said, I was afraid it would ruin the magic a bit for me, but it really hasn't. But here is just a warning for everyone.
The trip we took in March we went to Animal Kingdom for the first time. It was our just our second day there (we were down for 7 days). We took our daughter, 4yrs old, to the Affection Section (petting zoo). While there she brushed the goats and sheep. There was a fenced in area where a cow was housed. Its a metal fence with gaps big enough for children to reach in and pet the animal. There were other kids there with their parents that were attempting to reach the cow through the fence to pet it but were unable to reach him. My daughter approached the fence and put her arm through the fence up to her elbow to pet the cow. For some reason the cow attacked her. The cow turned on her and rammed her arm up against the fence pinning it against the metal. The cow then proceeded to ram her arm with its head over and over into the fence. She was screaming and crying and we would not get her free. No one from Disney came to help. We had to wrestle her arm free from the cow. By the time we got her arm out it was black and blue all the way around and was swollen to the size of a lemon. She was crying hysterically. I could not locate a cast member or Disney employee after the fact in the whole petting area. It was not until after we exited the petting area and came to the outside gate that we found a cast member. He was standing in the turnstile area for the petting zoo. I informed him what happened and showed him my daughters arm. At this point it was extremely swollen all the way around just under her elbow and very black and blue. He forearm had was swollen to the size of a lemon. He told me I could go to any of the stands in the park and just buy her some aspirin. He did not offer to help in anyway. He did not respond in anyway at all about the fact that the cow attacked her. I was shocked. Wouldnt they want to monitor the cow or put it away incase there was a problem with it? Couldnt he have offered to help in someway, maybe offer to get us to first aid? What if my daughters arm was broken? I asked him where first aid was and he directed me to take the train back to Africa then ask someone when I got off it and that was it. It took about 25 minutes or so of my daught cryng in pain and us running around the park but we were able to find first aid. After first aid we ended up leaving the park for the day and sitting in the room nursing my daughter for the day. She seemed ok and we went back to the park the next day. He arm wasn't broken or anything worse thankfully.
Here's what gets me though. I contacted Disney's customer service. They put me in touch with someone from the Executive Office. I wanted to let them know what happened and that maybe they should consider having a cast member in the actual area where the animals are walking around with the kids. I was very nice and pleasant about it. I also wanted to asked if I could be reiumbursed for that day since we had to leave the park at 11am and lost a whole day because of it. When I told her I thought a cast member should be present with the kids and animals her response to me was that she "wished more parents would pay attention to what their kids were doing". Can you believe that??? UMMM I agree with her sure, but what does that have to do with a cow in their attraction attacking my kid. I was standing right next to her and there was nothing I could do. And her answer to me about compensating me for the one day was "how can she tell that I left the park for the day." That was it. Unfortunately I bought my tickets separately from my room pass so they were not able to track when I came in and left the park.
So here is what I learned. As much as you should enjoy the magic, its also a good idea to protect yourself the best you can. Maybe its a good idea to purchase a room/tickets package so you have 1 card that they can tie to you that shows a history of where you go and what you do. Because if there is a problem the complete burden of proof is on you even in this case where they had a medical log of the situation. It didn't matter.
The whole situation almost ruined the magic for me. If you can imagine your little 4 year old getting hurt by and attracting there and then being told its not their responsiblity. But it hasn't still love Disney! Will just make sure I protect myself better next time!!
In the meantime... watch out for those cows!!!

I'm so sorry that happened. It surprises me that WDW had no CM present at the "petting zoo". Animals are animals though so the CM probably couldn't have stopped it anyway. That being said, there is NO WAY you should of had to search for first aid for a crying kid. That's crazy.
My grandma fell and bumped her head at WDW recently (she stumbled off the sidewalk onto the street). They had a golf cart with first aid come to her in about 3 minutes, and they had her signing papers that they weren't responsible in about 10.
Most CM go above and beyond everyday. I hate it that you found one that wasn't more helpful. Better luck next time! You deserve a stress free trip

I'll take that stress free trip!!!
In all fairness, we still had a great week. How could you not. And I was mad for a while about it all. And my daughter still talks about how horrible it was. I was furious when the CM said to that I could just buy her some child aspirin at one the stands. The type of reaction that you got with the golf cart is what I expected. The woman I spoke to from the Executive Office agreed with me that the CM's response was unacceptable, but she also said "if that is how it happened." Again discounting my honesty about the situation.
I don't think I was asking her for anything unreasonable. Its wasn't like I was trying to pull something over on them or threaten them in anyway. I just asked to be compensated for the one lost day....

I am sorry that happened to your daughter!! Cows are powerful animals, and I am sure it was a scary experience for your family.
There was no excuse for the CM dismissing you like that.....clearly he needs to be dealing with the animals and not the guests!
Whenever we have been in the affection station there have been several CMs patrolling the area, as much for the animals saftey as the children (some kids have no "clue" around animals and seem to think its okay to treat them not so nicely, pulling hair, smacking them......) I would think that would be standard protocol to have someone stationed inside at all times. (They also walk around cleaning up after them!)
I do remember that cow well, as she had quite and ATTITUDE on one visit. I suspected it was close to feeding time that day - but sounds like she is not such a nice cow!!!

How awful for your poor daughter. I have heard several horror stories about petting zoos and kids getting sick or injured. I won't even let mine go to them anymore - not even at Disney (I haven't told her about the one at AK; hoping she won't notice).
I agree there should ALWAYS be a CM present in the petting area - one but even better two. Not only could animals harm a child, as what happend in your case, but it is also possible that a child could harm an animal.
I hope there were enough happy memories to erase this one bad memory in your 4-year-old's mind. I also hope she is doing better

OP I am sorry about what happened to your daughter, I am glad that it was not more serious and did not totally ruin your vacation. The skeptical attitude you received from WDW customer service would have upset me also. It sounds like you were not trying to put the blame all on them, but just trying to let them know about some potential dangers and asking about the loss of time in the park. Seems fair to me.
I am a big animal lover and I went the petting zoo attractions long after most kids outgrew it, but in all honesty I think that they are mostly a bad idea.
Unless they are more like a guided tour with restricted, supervised, groups, too many animals are abused and too many children get injured.

I would have demanded that the first CM you talked to get emergency help right away. I would not take no for an answer.

Wow, that is awful. I hope your DD recovered quickly, physically and emotionally. (she probably won't want to get near any cows for awhile..)..Can't part of your proof be paperwork from when you finally got someone to look at her arm? I don't know, I guess I am a "customer satisfaction " kind of person..I demand it. I would have kept calling, and possibly dropping the word lawsuit here and there. Your "executive" has a boss, and they have a boss, too. I am sure they are familiar with this cow's attitude, and they DEFINITELY know that there was no staff in the area at the time. I hope you try again and have some luck, this sounds to me more like a free vacation than just a remimbursement for one day's park entry.JMO.

Thanks everyone for giving me a place to vent a bit about it. I was afraid I might get attacked as an anti-Disneyite or something. Cause I am not at all. Like I said it hasn't ruined Disney for me. Though the first couple of weeks after the conversation it kind of did. Then I decided to let it go and walk away with the lesson that if something goes wrong cry fowl right then and there and go straight to custer service and make your demands. I guess my mistake was I was just trying to be a nice guy about it expecting Disney would do the right thing. So enjoy the magic! Love the place! But just keep in the back of your mind if there is a problem get proof of it right away. Like I should have taken a picture of my daughter's arm afterwards! But who thinks about that kind of stuff.
The best part about it is that I really learned something about my daughter.. or maybe I learned something from her... After the incident, I told her I was sorry that the mean cow did that to her. And she replied "No Daddy, the cow didn't do it on purpose, it was just an accident, right?"
Anyway, after all this, we are now planning our second trip this year for thanksgiving weekend!
I so need to do that!

I dont get it. Whenever Im there, there are CMs around. Plenty of them. And another thing I dont get is I have never seen a cow there before. As for the excutive person you know what I would have said, "what if the situtation was reversed and I was the one who got hurt and not my DD. Would you still think that someone needs to watch over me?" It doesnt matter if there is a parent near by or not. What matters is that disney needs to take better control of the animals. There should be 1 CM at each area. One for the lambs, 1 for the cow, etc. IMHO if any animal goes and attacks anyone weither it be a child or an adult that animal needs to be removed immediately and get check out. Fars we know that could have been a mad cow. And if there is something wrong with it, its better for the guests, the CMs and for the animal to just be put to sleep.

You know, that was something that really bothered me about the whole situation. It was one thing for the CM we found outside the gate to tell us to just go buy some aspirin for her. But I couldn't believe he didn't react in anyway about the cow itself. I certainly would have thought that maybe they would put the animal away incase it dind't want to be bothered and hurt another kid.
But after we walked away with my daughter to find first aid. He just stayed where he was and didn't do anything.
You make another good point too. I was so mad that she suggested we should watch our kid more. What could I have possibly done?? I was standing right next to her as she pet the animal and then it just turned and started to ram her. Nothing I could do. I wonder if Disney told the parents of the boy who died on the Roller Coaster if they should have been more responsible about him too? It really really made me mad. But that was their answer to why there were no CMs in the area. Because they felt that parents should be more responsible for their kids.

As of January 21, 2012 - they are CLOSED.ReplyDelete
He avoided further disaster by closing bfore Sandy destroyed that area.ReplyDelete
Its sad we Knew Nellie and his wife. Even after he died I felt that the food was still very good. The biggest mistake was to air a program about the Restaurant.It was there Dome 4 Sure.ReplyDelete
Blame everybody but the owner. Obviously there were problems or he would not have asked for help. Most likely like most of these restaurants that Ramsey tries to help they are financial so stressed that they just cannot recover. Many are closed due to taxes owed or banks foreclose.Delete
Clearly it was Ramsay's fault, and not the week old food in the fridge and the carpet that made anyone walk in there go "What the hell is that smell?". Yes, must have been Gordon.Delete
you are right! i would not trust this guy at any food place. to see the deplorable and disgusting food storage on the show was a disaster. was his own family eating this rotten stuff? i got the impression from Mike's attitude was - HE HAD IT. he should permanently retire from serving the public.Delete
Hope they're doing well, at least.ReplyDelete

I'm so sorry for them ..... daughters were very sweet and loving. I hope they're doing okReplyDelete
No it wasn t ramsay s fault keep place nasty wasn t it. Those businesses requires team work and discipline, right. You should be grateful that m & n closed. You could never now how healthy the food was. If i had a restaurant i would watch ramsay s show and would take some notes from the free lectures. 1st thing is keep the fridge clean.ReplyDelete
I think alcoholism is the biggest problem he, and subsequently the restaurant, had. It's a terrible disease and he must get treatment. If he drank through service when TV cameras were there (a couple of beers and cranberry vodka), I can't even imagine how much he drinks when they aren't there. And that's dangerous. He could kill someone if he got loaded and didn't cook properly. Hope that he gets clean.ReplyDelete
Its not ramsey fault omgReplyDelete

Foundation for the Carolinas plans to reveal Thursday that the nonprofits assets have hit $1.3 billion, making it one of the nations top 10 community foundations.
Thats an increase of 30 percent from 2012 for the foundation, a nonprofit that serves as a catalyst for philanthropy by connecting companies and individuals with charitable causes.
In another milestone, the foundation will announce that it is creating a Charlotte-based disaster relief subsidiary that will become one of the countrys leaders in providing cash grants to disaster victims on behalf of their employers and sympathetic coworkers.
The new philanthropic entity, called E4E Relief, will assume control of a foundation program that began when Charlotte banks sought to help New York City-based staffers affected by the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
In the nearly 13 years since, a growing number of national companies have contracted with the Foundation for the Carolinas to set up similar employee relief programs for disasters such as tornadoes and floods, and family emergencies such as house fires.
We have emerged as a leading provider of employee relief, said Laura Meyer Wellman, who will move from executive vice president at the foundation to president and CEO of E4E Relief. The increasing need to bridge gaps in hardship situations for employees prompts us to look at this as a national opportunity.
Record growth year
Foundation for the Carolinas jump to $1.3 billion in assets makes it the biggest community foundation in the Southeast and bigger than foundations in San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Boston and Dallas.
Its numbers appear to be growing steadily, too. Foundation CEO Michael Marsicano says his organization already has an additional $400 million in commitments from Carolinians who intend to leave all or part of their estates for philanthropic efforts.
The point of all this is that it wont be long before were at $2 billion, Marsicano said. Its a testament to the generosity of this community.
Last year, the foundation gave out a record $178 million in grants, $20 million more than in 2012, and $36 million more than in 2011.
Credit for the 30 percent increase in assets goes to the improved economy, he said, and to wisely made choices by the foundations investment committee and staff. Equally important: 120 new funds were established through the foundation by families, nonprofits and companies. They include efforts to aid the environment, health care, faith-based projects and the education system.
The foundation launched projects as well, including a $25 million effort to renovate the old Carolina Theatre on North Tryon Street for use as a civic meeting hall. Bank of America contributed $5 million to launch the project, which is seen as the start of North Tryon Streets revitalization.
Charles Bowman, Bank of Americas market president for North Carolina and Charlotte, noted the bank also supported foundation projects such as the Project LIFT education initiative and the Critical Need Response Fund, which fed and sheltered people during the recession.
The foundation has vision for the future, and they step up for the tough issues, Bowman said of the foundations reputation for civic leadership. They are very ambitious in the things they take on, and they are very persistent.
E4E Relief disaster aid
From 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina. From Hurricane Sandy to the Colorado wildfires of 2013.
Scarcely a big natural disaster has occurred over the past 13 years that didnt involve a Foundation for the Carolinas relief effort. This includes not only helping companies distribute aid, but setting up 24-hour call centers to take aid requests from their employees.
During Hurricane Sandy alone, more than 2,000 grants totaling $1.75 million were issued for employee relief, said foundation officials. The storm also prompted an increased number of calls from national companies that heard of the foundations program and wanted to sign up.
Charlotte-based bank Wachovia was among the first companies to enlist the help of the foundation, after some of its New York employees were affected by 9/11. When San Francisco-based Wells Fargo took over Wachovia, it decided to maintain the program, said Peter Dudley, a senior vice president with Wells Fargo.
The disasters can be anything from a tornado that rips across the Midwest to a house fire in an apartment building, Dudley said, adding that he has been among those who have referred other companies to the foundation for disaster relief efforts.
Family Dollar, Synders-Lance, San Francisco-based McKesson and Atlanta-based HoneyBaked Ham of Georgia are also part of E4E, officials said. In some cases, the companies set aside money for relief, while others developed voluntary payroll deductions so employees could donate.
Michael Esposito, an executive with HoneyBaked Ham of Georgia, said he learned of the foundation program from officials at Home Depot.
I did the research on how we could build a program of our own and I learned its too costly, complex and we dont have the staff to run it, said Esposito, noting HoneyBaked Ham of Georgia has staff across 20 states.
Employee giving is what has pushed a lot of employers in this direction. What often happens is employees want to pass the hat to help others in the company who have been hit by a tornado or flood. But thats not an efficient way to run a business.

(BANGKOK, THAILAND) -- Police say a deadbeat pornographer got a beating from the star of his sex film. The porn filmmaker was beaten by the star over his failure to pay her his already ridiculously low rate.
German national Friedrich Johannes Michael Fischer was beaten when he failed to live up to his end of the deal, police said. They say Fischer promised a woman about $122 to be in his sex video, but he only paid her $24.
The woman, along with a male and a female friend decided to exact their revenge when Fischer refused to hand over the tape, authorities said.
Police say Fischer had an impressive collection of homemade X-rated videos. He was busted on pornography charges.
The women and her friends were arrested for assault.

One of the risks associated with vintage car racing is damaging a rare, priceless piece of automotive history, but we're pretty sure that one recent participant is just happy to be alive. Edmund Burgess, of Lavenham, UK, was participating in the Prescott Speed Hill Climb in Gloucestershire, UK when, according to Car Buzz, the brakes reportedly failed on his 1924 Bugatti Type 13 causing it to go off course and roll over.
With an open cockpit on the car, all that was protecting Burgess were a helmet, goggles and a jacket, and while the video shows that his head came very close to making contact with the wall and ground, and that he was briefly trapped under the car, he fortunately didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Too bad the same can't be said for the Bugatti. The vintage racer, worth an estimated 250,000 British pounds (about $390,000 US), was heavily damaged, but the report says that Burgess is determined to get it fixed and racing again in just eight weeks. So what does a racer do after crashing his rare sports car and live to race another day? Probably the same thing we'd all do. Grab a beer. The video of the crash is posted below.

Cautious Hiring To Continue In The New Year, According To CareerBuilder's Annual Job Forecast
CHICAGO, Dec. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Caution remains a staple in recruitment plans. CareerBuilder's annual forecast shows that debt issues in Washington may continue to play a part in impeding a more accelerated jobs recovery. Twenty-four percent of companies reported that they will add full-time, permanent employees in 2014, down two percentage points from 2013. Nearly one in four employers (23 percent) said they will hire at a slower rate or will not expand headcount at all until the debt ceiling is resolved in the first quarter.
View full report here: http://careerbuildercommunications.com/pdf/careerbuilder2014_forecast.pdf
"The general sentiment shared by employers whom CareerBuilder talks to every day is that there will be a better job market in 2014," said Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder and co-author of The Talent Equation. "What we saw in our survey was reluctance from some employers to commit to adding jobs until the outcomes of debt negotiations and other issues affecting economic expansion are clearer. As these stories play out and employers find their footing in the New Year, there is greater potential for the average monthly job creation in 2014 to exceed that of 2013."
The national survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive © from November 6 to December 2, 2013, and included a representative sample of 2,201 hiring managers and human resource professionals across industries and company sizes.Full-time, Permanent HiringWhile 24 percent of employers expect to hire full-time, permanent staff – down from 26 percent last year – one in ten are still undecided about their recruitment plans. Thirteen percent plan to decrease staff levels – up from 9 percent last year – while 54 percent anticipate no change. Where Are They Hiring?Hiring for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) occupations is expected to take center stage with more than one in four employers (26 percent) planning to create jobs in these areas over the next 12 months. Looking at functions across an organization, the top two positions companies plan to hire for in the New Year – Sales and Information Technology – are also where employers expect to provide the biggest salary increases.

Nurse practitioners, pharmacists and others would get more authority
Here too, the medical association balks. Phinney said his organization is concerned by broadening pharmacists' abilities to administer vaccines. Currently they are only allowed to administer flu vaccines, but the new bill would extend that ability to the full range of routine immunizations recommended for children and adults.
Phinney said that broadening immunization powers could open the opportunity for certain immunizations to interact with other medications or therapies that a patient is undergoing, like cancer medications. He said a family physician's broader medical training and longer residency requirements are needed to prevent problems.
"Pharmacists, frankly, are not trained in the broad range of conditions that could be considered," Phinney said.
But proponents of the change, like Kenneth Schell, pharmacist in chief at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, said there is plenty of precedent for pharmacists taking a more direct role in patient care.
"Pharmacists have been successfully acting as direct care providers for decades in federal and managed care systems (like the) Veterans Affairs, Indian Health, Department of Defense and Kaiser," Schell said in an email.

Dappan koothu
Tappaanguchchi,Dappan Koothu (Kannada: ಟಪ್ಪಾಂಗುಚ್ಚಿ,Tamil: டப்பாங்கூத்து) or Dappanguthu is a folk dance and music genre with an emphasis on percussion performed in states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, India.[1] It has become one of several popular genres employed in film music:[2] Kannada Cinema and Tamil cinema.
Unlike classical Indian dances such as yakshagana, bharatnatyam or kathakali, koothu is relatively informal in that it has no structured, repeated steps and dancers do not learn through formal dance classes. It shares its emphasis on percussion with older folk dances of Tamil Nadu, such as kummi and kolattam.
Musical instruments[edit]
A percussion instrument called the TamaTe in Kannada or Tharai thappattai in Tamil, resembling a Ganesh tambourine without the jingles, is often used for Dappaankuthu. Unlike normal tambourines, this requires a wooden to play. The urumee drum is also often used. A customised trumpet is also sometimes employed. The rhythm of the Dappan koothu is often signified by a mix of beat patterns layered and flowing into one another. Other percussion instruments may be employed in Dappan koothu.
Outfit and embellishments[edit]
Even though any attire can be worn when one dances the Dappaankuthu, a lungi (colourful cloth wrapped around the waist) is commonly worn and most preferable, with the bottom raised and folded upwards over the knees in the middle. Ideally, it should be worn over pattapatti (lined trousers). The shirt worn would have only two or three buttons in place, while the chest portion is left wide open and at the lower part of the shirt is knotted (using the two portions of the shirt). It is also common to tie a handkerchief or bandana around one's forehead and/or wrist.
Loud clapping and whistling by spectators often accompanies the Dappaankuthu dance. Spectators are also known to set off firecrackers called locally as "Pattaasu" on the ground during the performance.
Facial expressions are employed for effect by the dancers. For example, the tongue, folded over and held in position with the front teeth, is brought out at regular intervals.
In Male Mahadeshwara hills, Mysore, Karnataka, the music for this dance will be played for money, and the believers can dance for longer time. Particularly in this hill, there is a saying that god feels happy if his believers dance for him.
In popular culture[edit]
- The genre has been used in several films of Tamil cinema, and was noticeably used in songs "Boyz" and "Bird Flu" by M.I.A. on her 2007 album Kala.[3]
