Dick Van Dyke Pushed Away to Shore by Dolphins When He Drifted Out to Sea
November 6, 2010 (8:08 am) GMT
The movie veteran was once saved by a school of dolphins during his youth when he fell asleep on a surfboard and drifted out to sea.
"Mary Poppins" star Dick Van Dyke has a school of dolphins to thank for saving his life after he fell asleep on a surfboard and drifted out to sea. The movie veteran was a keen long-boarder in his youth, but one exhausting day at the beach made him think twice about his water hobby.
The "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star" recalls, "I woke up out of sight of land... and I started paddling with the swells and I started seeing fins swimming around me and I thought, 'I'm dead!' They turned out to be porpoises (and) they pushed me all the way to shore. I'm not kidding."
Professionally, Dick Van Dyke has starred in several films such as "What a Way to Go!", "Fitzwilly", "The Art of Love", "Some Kind of a Nut" and "Never a Dull Moment".

Business owners and marketing directors call us quite frequently and are often mistaken and usually because they been mislead or misinformed about what a reputation management campaign can and cannot do for a business.
Reputation Management FAQ's
Can a Rip Off Report be deleted?
No, unfortunately it cannot be deleted, even though you will hear rumors along the lines of, "They called me and told me if I pay "X" amount they promised they would delete the report"
How should I respond to these reports?
This is a question we get all the time, the answer is DO NOT respond to these reports!! We know how hard it is for you to not tell your side of the story but this is exactly what these websites want you to do! Don't let them win! The more activity these reports or derogatory blog posts receive the stronger they become. Any sort of response, rebuttals or comments is only going to make the situation worse. If possible don't even click on these reports or negative blog posts because even that can help them rank higher and higher.
Can I sue Rip Off Report and make them take this down?
This is a complex question but in essence this report will never be deleted, you cannot sue Rip Off Report because they are protected by the freedom of speech. For example, you cannot sue Facebook if someone leaves a bad review or posts something mean about you but if it is slanderous you can sue the person. The same logic applies here expect even if you win, the report will not be removed. It's really just a terrible situation.

in need of a forever home
in need of a forever home
Update July 2016
Ayasha is currently in kennels, she is doing extremely well and is a real sweetie. She is having two trips into town each week to socialise and now enjoys sitting watching the world go by. She was a complete super star when the local brownies and cubs went to visit the kennels, she loved them all.
Ayasha is a 3 year old Czech wolfdog who is looking for her forever home. She just loves people and loves attention, she is a real giddy soft lump.
She would be best suited to a home with no other dogs as she can become jealous in the home environment and likes all the attention for herself. Also someone who is around most of the time as she doesn't like her humans leaving her. For the occasions when she is left she will need to be crated or have a secure kennel/run outside.
Update June 2016
Ayasha is still in kennels and has been assessed out and about, she is going into town twice a week for socialisation and her fitness levels are now good and she can enjoy long walks again. She is a real people lover. She is simply adorable and loves attention, loves people. She is fantastic on lead, fantastic out and about and non-reactive meeting new dogs. She will be so happy with someone who is home most of the time and as an only dog as she can get a little jealous of attention. She has been a real superstar at the kennels meeting and greeting the brownies and cubs who had a visit. They were thrilled with the kisses and attention she gave each and every one of them. As lovely as this is and she is happy, we cannot afford for her to stay in kennels long term, she needs and deserves that home and family to love and be part of.

in need of a forever home
UPDATE (July 2016)
Shoba needs an experienced large breed owner, he would be best suited to be an only dog but can live alongside a calm female dog. No cats, No children. He is fantastic on lead, fantastic in the home, crate trained, loves to please, loves fuss, loves to train, loves going out with the scooter, he can forget himself from time to time and get over excited and a little boisterous so a calm environment would be good for him. He has bonded massively with his foster carer so a few visits would be preferred.
UPDATE (March 2016)
Today I got to spend time with the lovely Shoba. Shoba is our longest resident dog, he has now been in foster for over 18 months. He is completely rehabilitated and looking for his forever home.
Shoba will benefit from being an only dog or with one large breed very calm dog. Shoba has a large amount of excited energy and he loves to use that excitement to please. He loves training sessions, he is very responsive to commands given. He can do sit, down, close, touch, watch, heel, back, leave, bed. He responds to verbal commands and also enjoys clicker training too.
Shoba is a 4 year old neutered male Czech cross. He is house trained, lead trained and crate trained (although needs some reinforcements added to a standard crate). He is a big boy and has a big personality to match
Update March 2016
PLEASE MEET…..Ashkii. Ashkii is a 5 year old neutered male wolfdog.
Askii is in foster care and has now been fully assessed and is ready for his forever home.
He has been to the vets, had his health check which is all good, he needed to gain a little weight, but now he is on a raw diet he is gaining weight nicely.
Ashkii has proven to be a very good boy, he is non destructive when left, no signs of separation anxiety (been left with other dogs, never on his own as an only dog), he is good on and off lead, recall has been good, no food aggression, in fact he is just a generally good boy!
He enjoys the company of other dogs, he has been socialised with a wide variety of mixed sex, size and energy levels. He does prefer a less dominant dog to play with and isn't fussy if it is male or female as long as they aren't too pushy with him.
His favourite things are cuddles
Ashkii is a rather big boy so due to size we would say older children only, he has not been assessed with cats or small furries.
This big boy is going to make a fantastic addition to a family.

Teyha will be coming into rescue as soon as we find her the right foster home where she can be assessed and neutered.
Teyha has guarding issues and is very protective over her toys, food, bed etc with the other dog she currently lives with. The owners feel this is beyond their capabilities to stop the behaviour, they have tried everything they can. She is not protective with possessions towards people, only to other dogs.
Teyha can be dog reactive when out walking and meeting new dogs, she does wear a muzzle when out for current owners peace of mind.
She is very good in the house, loves her cuddles, loves treats and is very food orientated, is great with children and is crate trained.
We are looking for a foster with no other dogs and who can carry out an assessment and get her neutered (Which we as a rescue obviously pay for) If you are able to foster Teyha please get in touch.
Criteria: No other dogs, or if other dogs have the room to separate. No cats. Secure garden.
Please note that these details have not been verified by WdR

Akela is the girl we agreed to take from a rescue in Qatar as she was struggling with the heat with no prospect of finding a permanent home.
Akela has now been in her foster home in the UK for a week. She is absolutely loving her walks and is very friendly when out meeting other dogs and people, however she needs to learn some manners, she currently thinks it is fine to jump up at everyone she meets and introduce herself. Her biggest love so far is water, she loves the water and dips her whole head under. She is playing well with the fosterers male wolfdog and enjoys a rough and tumble wolfdog style.
In the house she is happy in her crate and shows no sign of separation anxiety, she cannot be off lead with full roam of the house as she will trash the kitchen in record speed. So she is receiving training on counter surfing and manners in general.
She is still on lead when in garden too as fosterer is concerned she is still a flight risk, with no recall. Lots of long line recall training will be taking place.
It is going to take time and a lot of work to get her ready for her forever home but we are all really pleased with the progress she has made this week.

The San Antonio games will be on the weekends of Oct. 2-3, Oct. 16-17 and Dec. 24-26. Specific days and starting times for those games have not been determined. The four home games at Baton Rouge will be against Miami, Chicago, Tampa Bay and Carolina. The San Antonio games will be against Buffalo, Atlanta and Detroit. No decision was made on the site of potential Saints home playoff games this season.

I'm going to AT LEAST one of these games.
Um.... I'm guessing there's no hurry at all to decide where to play any Saints home playoff games... as long as they have a plan in place by December or so (of 2087) they should be fine.
The Bucs' rookie made a lot of big plays last year, but he'll need to cut down on turnovers and sloppy throws to live up to his draft status.

Nicolet College Expands Welding Program
Submitted: 02/27/2013
Story By Hayley Tenpas
- Hearing about jobs on the rise can be comforting.
A program expansion at Nicolet College in Rhinelander highlights one of those growing job markets.
They're expanding their welding program to bring in more students and meet the needs of a growing workforce.
"The need for welders, not only in our district here, but nationwide, is phenomenal," said welding instructor Chuck Kopp.
Expanding the welding program at Nicolet College is the result of two grants totaling 1.2 million dollars.
"We have accelerated our series of classes so that we can get our students out into jobs sooner, we have upgraded equipment, and hired some new instructors and we've re-vamped the curriculum to better meet employer's needs," said Elizabeth Burmaster, President of Nicolet College.
Part of that expansion means going from 17 to 23 work stations.
"What they'll be able to do with them is the same thing they're doing here now with the booths that are existing, which is all the different processes," said Kopp.
Kopp says this one year program is helping students get jobs in the Northwoods.
"So this is a response to our manufacturers, to try to satisfy their need for welders and give them the ability to grow their businesses," said Kopp.

Bison farmers share the health benefits with the midwest
Submitted: 07/27/2016
Play Video
- Driving through the Northwoods, you can see plenty of deer, cows, and horses… But bison? That's a little rarer.
Unless you travel to a ranch in Florence County, where the Rock family thinks they've tapped into a special and healthy food source.
Raising bison has always seemed normal to Michael Rock. His favorite is Badaxe, who is 25 years old.
"He became my baby and I feed him maple syrup and apples all the time, that's his favorite treat," said Michael.
But the Rock family knows their livestock are rare for these parts.
"We got into it for the health issues because now we know what we're eating," said David.
David started the business about 10 years ago. These days, the Rocks have around 130 bison on their Florence County ranch.
"For me this is enjoyment because I'm outside and I'm with my family. And I like to be outside and work with them on that," said David.
Two of the Rocks' four children live and work on the ranch.
"Being able to tell them what to do. I'm still the dad, so I rule the roost. They are a big help and they do have good ideas. You do have to watch the younger generation," said David.
Their daughter, Josie, and son, Michael, help with feeding and maintaining the herd.
"My favorite are the babies. The babies when they're younger, they like fighting and playing. And they'll just be running around and playing," said Josie.
But raising these animals isn't just about entertainment. In the 1800's, bison were almost killed off. Now, the Rocks hope to promote the animal's health benefits be carefully managing which ones go to be processed.
"Bison is about the only other meat out there that they can eat. It's healthier than chicken, it's healthier than salmon, pig, beef, anything. It's the top of the line," said Karen.
Raising an animal is a large project, one that Michael would like to do for a long time.
"I like bailing hay with the tractors, I like taking care of the animals. I have a future goal, to have big barns full of them," said Michael.
All of their meat is sent to the U. P. to a USDA approved facility and most of it stays local to the Midwest.

Rhinelander community supports family in need
Submitted: 07/27/2016
- At 51 years old, Rhinelander's Chris Moore felt off for months. In May it got worse. His wife knew something was wrong.
"Oh no we're going to call an ambulance," said Chris Moore.
Doctors diagnosed Moore with unhealthy heart muscle, an irregular heartbeat, and heart failure. His heart now works at 20 percent. Moore had to resign from his job a grave digger.
"Hardest thing I've ever done was to sit and watch," said Chris Moore.
Moore's wife Sherri only works part-time and says Chris may have to wait months to years for social security disability to kick in.
"We sold a truck, boat," said Sherri.
But it wasn't enough to pay the bills. That's when a friend unexpectedly stepped up.
Janelle Schroder is putting on rummage and baking sales this week. She is also putting on a benefit for the Moore Family in August.
"I knew somebody had to do something," said Schroder.

Feingold prepares for August primary
Submitted: 07/27/2016
Play Video
- In less than two weeks, Wisconsin voters will head to the polls to vote in the state's primary.
That's why former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) is encouraging people to vote on August 9th.
He faces another democratic senate candidate Scott Harbach from Kenosha.
"I wouldn't say I'm nervous but I take nothing for granted," Feingold said at a Wausau event on Wednesday.
"You should never take an election for granted and that's why we're working very hard at traveling all over the state this week to help people take advantage of early voting and if not to make sure they get out to vote on August 9th."
If Feingold wins the election, he faces incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in November.
A recent Marquette University Law School poll shows Feingold leading. The link is posted below.
But Feingold said he doesn't want to get too hung up on the numbers.
"I don't want to get really serious about polling, that isn't the way that I've ever conducted myself," Feingold said. "What I do is go out to listen to people and find out directly not through polling what people are thinking and how they're feeling."
A third candidate named Phillip Anderson is also running for the same senate seat. He is a libertarian from Fitchburg.

Northwoods research studies relationship between shoreline development, fish community health

- Research shows lakes with no shoreline development generally produce bigger, faster-growing fish. Lakes with heavily developed shorelines, full of homes, lawns, beaches, and docks, have the opposite effect.
Researchers at the UW-Madison Trout Lake Station in Boulder Junction want to know more about that dynamic.

This all starts like the adventure I wished I had as a kid. Then it descends into a hellish nightmare that only South Park can make hilarious. From the darkest depths of the woodland creatures' realm, to the nightmarish landscape of Canada, and spectacles scatological and eschatological galore, this game is a mud-slinging journey for the sake of the Stick of Truth--which I learned can be found in each of us, and a high fiber diet can help move it along. Also, this game was prophetic--I don't know who could have imagined in 2014 that the real world would be taken over by <<SPOILER REDACTED>>, just like South Park. It should go without saying that nothing good can come of a real world situation that can be described in a sentence that ends "just like South Park."
Licensed games rarely cause me to emit much more than a groan. "Oh, here we go, another phoned-in third person shooter/mobile wait-'em-up/etc." South Park is not this- it's clear that Matt Stone and Trey Parker wanted this one to be good, because their mark is all over it. I believe they said themselves that this game is intended to basically be a playable episode of south park. That goal was achieved in an enormously impressive fashion. The first few minutes of the game, I was in shock at how much the game looked and felt the same as the show, right down to what appear to be the actual art assets from the show. The combat is turn-based with timed button presses in a similar manner to games such as Paper Mario- it's definitely well-designed but it is the weak point of the game in my opinion. The animations are entertaining, but also a bit on the long side for me, making it feel like even a small fight can go on a bit longer than I'd like. Maybe I'm just impatient though! There's a bunch of stuff I didn't get into: itemization, leveling, etc. I think it's all really solid but I'm guessing there are other reviewers who are better at covering that sort of stuff in detail than I am.
First off, if you even remotely like South Park/watch the show or you used to, then get this game now. The price alone covers all the hilarious jokes and laughs you will get out of this game. But since this is a game, shouldn't we talk about the game play of Stick of Truth? It is reminiscent of JRPG's of the past and really use that formula to make a satisfying experience. And if you are not big into rpgs or a newbie when it comes to them, The Stick of Truth really helps you out early on and you will get a handle on things very quickly. The game play itself may get old by the time you finish the game, but it never hindered my enjoyment of this hilarious experience. South Park: The Stick of Truth is one the most faithful adaptions of ANY licence put into a video game. It's funny as hell, charming to play and is an all around good time. Don't delay, Cartman, the Grand Wizard King, awaits.
I love the TV show, but have never liked any of the South Park games, until this one. It looks just like the show and is a blast to play. It plays like a classic turn based RPG. The graphics are great, the sound and voices are wonderful and the the gameplay is very enjoyable. The writing and story are just as entertaining as they are on the TV show. I also encountered no glitches at all during my playthrough. This game wont disappoint you.
This game is basically like playing an extended episode of the show, or rather one of their trilogy episodes. The trademark anything goes humour that made South Park so controversial is there in full, giving fans just what they want. The game takes place as you, the new kid, show up to South Park when the cast is in the middle of a LARP game based on sword and sorcery. You are recruited by Cartman and begin the quest to protect the titular Stick of Truth, giving those who hold it control over the world itself! Or let you make up rules, either or. The gameplay is quite solid. It's a turn-based RPG with the ability to block with correct timing, varied classes for your preferred play style as a Fighter, Mage, Thief, or Jew (basically a Monk for you classic RPG fans). The upgrades and abilities are coming constantly and keeps your tactics changing throughout, and the other characters that form your party all have fun and unique moves (though you are not able to customise them). The only real negatives I would have for this would be that some characters get very impatient when you're setting up for you moves, Stan in particular. It can also sometimes get obnoxious to have to leave a character, go back and find the one required to help you in a certain scenario, then drop them and go back with the one you want to keep around. Having up to 2 others in your party might have helped. All in all, the game is very solid with a fun an hilarious story, great gameplay, and serves as a nice treat for fans of the show and turn-based RPGs in general. I can't wait for the sequel!

The final score 64-56 suggests something of a contest, but in reality Wellington were never in the same class as Canterbury in yesterday's NPC netball clash at Kilbirnie.
Wellington were behind from almost the opening whistle and trailed by 10 to 12 goals for most of the match at the ASB Sports Centre. Canterbury actually led by 16 goals at one point in the final quarter, to easily condemn Wellington to their second loss in as many starts.
"We just lacked consistency, really," Wellington captain Daya Wiffen said.
The home side deserve credit for hanging in there and making some sort of fightback. But as they did against Auckland Waitakere the week before, Wellington simply left themselves with too much ground to make up.
"We just lost a lot of ball at the beginning and went down by a bit and had to play catch-up the whole time and you just can't afford to do that," Wiffen said.
"This week was our first training with the whole team . . . so we're only just really getting our combinations together. So there's definitely room to build, but we've got to sort it out quick."
What will help Wellington in the coming weeks is the calibre of their remaining division one opponents. Auckland has a useful side, while Canterbury's starting seven yesterday were all members of the Tactix's trans-Tasman league team.
Wellington just don't have that quality of personnel and thankfully neither do Bay of Plenty, Waikato or Otago.
With Anna Thompson running at centre, Keshia Grant at wing attack and Ellen Halpenny the goal shoot, Canterbury had few problems bringing the ball through court and converting possession into goals. Bessie Manu and Jane Watson were useful in defence and the goals Wellington did score were invariably hard-earned.
Thompson had told The Dominion Post on Friday that "it will be a Canterbury weekend" and she was right. Wellington met the red-and-blacks in both the rugby and netball NPCs and were soundly beaten in each.
Wiffen and defender Victoria Smith were again the best of Wellington's players, while wing attack Nicola Mackle and goal shoot Te Amo Amaru-Tibble produced encouraging performances as well.

We've taken our most popular flash drive, the Pico-C, to the next level by upping its capacity to an incredible 64GB, speed rating it and celebrating it with a 24K gold finish." - SuperTalent COO, CH Lee.
This Special Edition drive is 64GB, speed rated and offered in a 24K gold finish. Making no apologies for performance, the Special Edition Pico-C boasts a 30MB/s (200X seq. Read) and 15MB/s (100X seq. Write) speed. Hailed as the world's smallest USB drive, the Pico C drive measures a mere 31 x 12 x 3 mm and weighs no more than a nickel. Despite its incredibly small size, Super Talent is now able to pack an astounding 64GB of NAND flash into the same small form factor.
