Town Square
From Behind The White Line, You're Not So Bright
Original post made by Jamie, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jul 10, 2009
I was in my car, on a side road leading onto Main Street, stopped at a stop sign. Gay Nineties Pizza was on my left. I waited for pedestrians to finish crossing, and then, because I couldn't see due to all the parked trucks and cars, I inched out onto Main Street, looked to my left, which was clear, and then looked to my right. There was a motorcycle coming so I waited. As he passed he screamed at me, "The white line is back there!"
The fact that a driver couldn't see past the lines of parked vehicles from behind the crosswalk and the white line was obvious. He would rather I had blindly pulled out and flattened him. The intelligence level of many people seems low when I'm out there on the road. Just sayin'.

We need to knock down all these sissy liberal historic buildings downtown including Veteran's Memorial Hall, the Museum Building) and build a SUPER WALMART. I want low prices now! I want parking! Don't stand in the way of good old Reagan-American progress! AMERICA!!

The FREE concert off First Street is one of the reasons for lack of parking. Then consider that alot of the streets on the west side of town are crowded with fair attendees who are also looking to save a buck.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

A Poor Wise Man HTML version
She had gone home, discontented with her family's lack of vision, and with
She was in a curious frame of mind. The thought of Louis Akers repelled her, but
she thought of him constantly. She analyzed him clearly enough; he was not fine
and not sensitive. He was not even kind. Indeed, she felt that he could be both
cruel and ruthless. And if she was the first good woman he had ever known, then
he must have had a hateful past.
The thought that he had kissed her turned her hot with anger and shame at such
times, but the thought recurred.
Had she had occupation perhaps she might have been saved, but she had
nothing to do. The house went on with its disciplined service; Lent had made its
small demands as to church services, and was over. The weather was bad, and
the golf links still soggy with the spring rains. Her wardrobe was long ago
replenished, and that small interest gone.
And somehow there had opened a breach between herself and the little intimate
group that had been hers before the war. She wondered sometimes what they
would think of Louis Akers. They would admire him, at first, for his opulent good
looks, but very soon they would recognize what she knew so well - the gulf
between him and the men of their own world, so hard a distinction to divine, yet
so real for all that. They would know instinctively that under his veneer of good
manners was something coarse and crude, as she did, and they would politely
snub him. She had no name and no knowledge for the urge in the man that she
vaguely recognized and resented. But she had a full knowledge of the obsession
he was becoming in her mind.
"If I could see him here," she reflected, more than once, "I'd get over thinking
about him. It's because they forbid me to see him. It's sheer contrariness."
But it was not, and she knew it. She had never heard of his theory about the
mark on a woman.
She was hating herself very vigorously on that Sunday afternoon. Mademoiselle
and she had lunched alone in Lily's sitting-room, and Mademoiselle had dozed
off in her chair afterwards, a novel on her knee. Lily was wandering about
downstairs when the telephone rang, and she had a quick conviction that it was
Louis Akers. It was only Willy Cameron, however, asking her if she cared to go
for a walk.
"I've promised Jinx one all day," he explained, "and we might as well combine, if
you are not busy."
She smiled at that.

Thanksgiving Holiday Ends in Fatal Hit and Run Accident for FSU Student
OCALA- Holiday celebrations for 23 year old William "Alex" McDonald were cut short before they had a chance to begin Thursday after an early morning traffic accident claimed his life.
The hit and run accident occured in the intersection of South Pine Avenue and Southwest 10th street in Ocala.
McDonald's death marks the 8th traffic fatality in Ocala this year.
Sgt. Michael Sommer of the Ocala Police Department stated, "We had calls from witnesses, we also had a call from a witness that was a passenger in the actual hit and run vehicle, and then we were in fact contacted by the hit and run driver himself."
In conversations with investigators before his arrest, 25 year old Joseph Stewart of Ocala aqdmitted to being involved in the accident.
Another fatal hit and run accident occured in Marion County Thursday morning killing 42 year old Patrick Wisocky.

How will healthcare professionals be affected by all the computerization and technical advancements, especially relating to patients with disabilities?
1 Answer | Add Yours
There are many answers that can be given, because computers and technology are changing the field of medicine in great ways.
First, on the most basic level, computers are changing the way billing, record keeping, and other medical information is being stored, retrieved, and shared. This is making things much more efficient.
Second, on a medical level, there are great benefits in terms of procedures. For example, laparscopic surgeries are amazing. Doctors are able to do surgeries through a small incision through a tube. The recovery time is cut in half and more.

It was the stuff of orchestral nightmares. On the very afternoon of the Auckland Philharmonia's first Great Classics concert, an accident had pianist Piers Lane withdraw from the programme.
Just hours later, the full house sign was outside the Town Hall; and the concert duly set off with the audience spilling into the choir stalls, lured by the killer combo of Grieg's Piano Concerto and Beethoven's Fifth.
It was heroic of Auckland pianist Stephen De Pledge to take over for the Australian soloist even if, understandably, given the lead-in time, his performance was far from blemish-free.
Here and there, curious minor slips suggested De Pledge was braving a test of nerves that would occasion shudders from even the hardiest. Yet in the Nocturne-like theme of the first movement, as well as the pianist's dialogues with the orchestra's woodwind, we could relax and enjoy his very individual musicianship.
Conductor Fabrice Bollon added his own telling touches to the familiar classic, especially in the rapturous first pages of the central Adagio.
The Frenchman impressed from the start, even with Schumann's often recalcitrant Overture, Scherzo and Finale. A short Andante, infinitely nuanced, took us to a sprightly saunter through a Mendelssohnian Fairyland. The billowing exchanges of the Scherzo's Trio were elegant while the gusto of the Finale almost made one overlook Schumann's obsessive dotted rhythms.
After interval, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony was as fresh-off-the-page as it must have been for that first Viennese audience in 1808.
The first movement gained much from Bollon's immaculate phrasing, together with careful balancing of forces and dynamics; the Andante set off in emphatic triple time, with lower strings at their most melodious answered by a sigh of woodwind.
The blazing Finale reminded one of Schumann's assessment of this symphony as wielding its power with men of every age, like those great phenomena of nature that fill us with fear and admiration at all times, no matter how frequently we may experience them.
Which is, after all, what a classic is all about.

The Environment ministry on Tuesday issued new guidelines for declaring eco sensitive zones around National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries, imposing new restrictions on construction, industrial and some tourism activities.
"The zones will work as shock absorbers for the protected areas," the guidelines states. And its aim is to regulate certain activities, such as mining around National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries, so as to minimise the negative impacts of such activities.
In fact, it would mean that the Rajasthan government will not be able to allow mining around Sariska and Ranthambore, where such permissions have been granted in the last one year. The guidelines said activities including commercial mining, setting of saw mills and industries causing pollution, commercial use of firewood, major hydropower projects are prohibited in such areas.
The guidelines were finalized after the Supreme Court lashed out at the ministry for failing to draw such guidelines since 2006, in the case related to construction of a park near Okhla Bird Sanctuary. Had the ministry issued the guidelines in time, it could had stopped the construction of the park by Uttar Pradesh government. In December 2010, the court asked the ministry to frame the guidelines as soon as possible.
The Ministry has asked all states to constitute a committee comprising the wildlife warden, an ecologist and a revenue department official of the area concerned to suggest the requirement of an eco-sensitive zone and its extent.
The panel could also suggest the best methods to manage such zones and broad-based thematic activities to be included in the master plan for the areas, which have been classified as prohibited, restricted with safeguards and permissible.
It also prohibits tourism activities like flying over protected areas in an aircraft or hot air balloon and discharge of effluents and solid waste in natural water bodies or terrestrial areas. Felling of trees, drastic change in agriculture systems and commercial use of natural water resources, including groundwater harvesting and setting up of hotels and resorts are the activities regulated in the areas.
Activities permitted in the areas include ongoing agriculture and horticulture practices by local communities, rainwater harvesting, organic farming, adoption of green technology and use of renewable energy sources.
Observing that many protected areas have already undergone tremendous development in close vicinity of their boundaries and some are actually located in an urban set-up, the Ministry said the width of the ESZ will have to be kept flexible and protected area-specific.
"The width of the Eco-sensitive Zone and type of regulations will differ from protected area to protected area. However, as a general principle the width of eco-sensitive zone could go upto 10 kms around a protected area as provided in the Wildlife Conservation Strategy-2002," it said.

India's Nuclear Bomb: Impact on Global Proliferation. George Perkovich. 597pp. University of California Press, 1999. $39.95.
The international movement toward nuclear nonproliferation was frustrated by India's nuclear weapons tests in May 1998. Through this scholarly documentation of the history of India's nuclear weapons program, George Perkovich addresses the questions of why India developed its nuclear weapons capability when it did, what factors kept it from stopping or reversing the program and what effects the United States had on India's nuclear intentions and capabilities. He has exposed illusions in American international-relations theory and nuclear-nonproliferation policy that may bear on the international action needed to eliminate nuclear weapons.
India's nuclear program originated with the establishment of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in 1945. Homi Bhabha was its director. In 1946 the Atomic Energy Research Committee was formed by the government under the chairmanship of Bhabha to promote education in nuclear physics in Indian colleges and universities. Bhabha and prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru shared the vision that, through nuclear science and technology, India could transcend its recent colonial past and achieve modernity and major-power status. Nuclear capacity—primarily in the civilian power domain but if necessary in nuclear-weapons applications, too—would increase India's self-regard and international standing.
Over the five decades between the initiation of the nuclear program in India and the testing of nuclear weapons in 1998, many factors influenced India's resolve for international standing and autonomy. Personal beliefs and rhetoric about nuclear weapons of the 13 prime ministers during this period have had significant influence over the program, from restraint to encouragement. Domestic and international politics, national security concerns, social needs and economic development, competition for governmental funding and the pace of technology development all interacted.
The program evolved in three phases. From 1947 through 1974, Indian scientists developed the technical means to produce nuclear weapons in a polity that had moral doubts and competing priorities. This first phase culminated in 1974 when the scientists persuaded the government to authorize the first underground nuclear-explosive test in the Rajasthani desert, near Pokhran. In the second phase, from 1975 through 1995, India surprised itself, the United States and much of the world by not conducting follow-up nuclear tests and not building a nuclear arsenal. Indian scientists and engineers continued, often secretly, to develop nuclear-weapon and ballistic-missile capabilities during this period, but moral and political doubts, domestic turmoil and competing national and international priorities caused India's leadership to refrain from evolving nuclear postures and policies like those of the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China and Israel. India's policy of self-restraint began to give way in 1995 because of developments in the international nonproliferation regime and political changes in India. This marked the transition to the 1998 tests and the third and current phase of India's nuclear program.
During the past 50 years, the role of economic capacity as a determining source of power has emerged throughout the world, lessening the role of nuclear weapons. Perkovich opines that, if India is to realize its potential in the 21st century, it must escape from the colonial framework from which it has perceived nuclear diplomacy and adopt the pragmatism of the mid-1990s, which engenders economic reforms.
Perkovich concludes that the history of India's nuclear policy making has exposed illusions in the international-relations theory and nuclear-nonproliferation policy of the United States. These are that security concerns decisively determine proliferation, that nonproliferation is the flip side of the proliferation coin, that democracy facilitates nonproliferation and that equitable disarmament is unnecessary for nonproliferaiton. If this conclusion is valid, what changes, if any, can be expected in nuclear policies in the United States and elsewhere over the next half century?—David L. Morrison, Nuclear Engineering, North Carolina State University

I like the Sig P220 also but I think I'd still go with my Wilson CQB and my S&W Model 41.
Here's my choice. P220, P226, and a .22 kit for the 220. Counts as two, right ?
I like the Sig P220 also but I think I'd still go with my Wilson CQB and my S&W Model 41.
I absolutely love my Springfield 1911 the best out of any handgun I've ever owned. But with that said, I'd still have to choose my XDM .45 3.8 because of the durability, ease of maintainance, and reliability in harsh conditions. The second would be my Desert Eagle .44 mag because I've found it to be very reliable for me, very accurate, the availability of ammo, a great all around hunting round, the self defense aspect in bear country and the ability to quickly reload the weapon with another magazine to hopefully stop a charging beast if needed.
I do understand the reasons that the Desert Eagle is considered to be over zealous and or ridiculous. But after I shot one, and now that I own one. I've found it to be quite a useful piece with its caliber interchangeability and dare I say, power to size ratio. And I forgot to mention in my previous post that I would also have the Eagle chambered in .50AE while walking through bear country, and chambered in .44 mag for hunting. Excuse my excessiveness and ranting on about the Desert Eagle. I realize it's not the greatest thing in earth and is very excessive in many cases. I'm just becoming happier and happier with it every time I shoot it. I didn't care for them at all until I tried one out. I didn't expect to appreciate it as much as I am now. It's fairly new to me so I'm rambling on a bit. I will however say, you should at least try it before you knock it. You just may sing a different tune, or maybe not.
I'd cheat and get a third. Maybe a couple of revolvers - since they are not officially "pistols".
Someone said a 220 and a 226 with a 22 conversion kit.
How about a 250 with different frames, so one pistol is full size, compact, and sub compact. Oh yeah -- also different calibers, if you feel you need that. So, you have what is officially one pistol with different sets of "clothes".
Second pistol a Glock 17. Then a couple of pistol caliber carbines, and some revolvers.
TWO pistols - problem solved. If I were to cheat and get a third pistol -- we are looking at a good 1911.
Good question - I approached this by looking at my modest collection and thinking what 2 would I keep if I had to sell everything else off (a very real possibility given my current financial situation). The two I would keep would be my Series 70 Colt Govt model .45 and my S&W 586 .357 L-frame. Lots of years on those guns, fond memories, and I shoot them very well.

When Corporations Leave Town
€ 27,49

August 2000
BeschreibungNew suburban communities have sprung up all over America, while industrial plants and other commercial districts in the inner city have been left to decay. Nowhere is this more evident than the midwestern United States, where newly formed communities have funneled jobs and income from the inner city. Generally known as sprawl, the problem is particularly acute in those metropolitan areas where deconcentration is taking place -- decline in the central city coupled with suburban growth. This process creates benefits in the suburbs, but also increasingly poses costs in the form of congestion and growing infrastructure costs. When Corporations Leave Town develops a consistent and comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of employment deconcentration, focusing on central cities and their suburbs.Sprawl and deconcentration have become big issues in Vice President Albert Gore's presidential campaign, and are the subject of a growing number of policy initiatives, conferences, and research by organizations such as the Urban Land Institute, the National Homebuilders Association, and the Brookings Institute. Joseph Persky and Wim Wiewel compare the costs and benefits of a firm's locating in the central city with locating in the suburbs. They use a hypothetical model of a large manufacturing plant and a business services office in the Chicago metropolitan area to calculate tangible and intangible costs such as population and traffic congestion, air pollution, housing abandonment, loss of farmland, tax liabilities, and the strain put on suburban public resources. Wiewel and Persky then explore a broad range of public policies advocated for reversing or mitigating metropolitan deconcentration.WhenCorporations Leave Town presents new and challenging arguments and solutions surrounding the current political debates about deconcentration. This book will interest policy analysts and students and scholars of urban studies, urban economics, urban geography, and regional pl

I carry the Ultra carry II , with stock rubber grips. great carry gun. It replaced my SW1911 commander size. I cannot speak to the Kimpro finish but the original finish on my Ultra Carry peeled in less than one year.
I Cerakoted it 3 weeks ago, could not be happier with results (even if done by an amature)

John Voyles wasn't too upset about missing the Top-10 cut at the Kentucky Lake FLW Tour by a mere 10 ounces. Considering what he had to resort to on day 3, he was happy to make such a strong run at advancing to the final day.
"I was fortunate to catch what I did," said the 6th-year pro from Indiana. "I had to go to plan D – plans A, B and C were covered up by locals. They were all one-cast places, and all of those guys were right on the cast."
That fourth option wasn't looking to hot at first, either, as he was initially unable to locate the school of fish he'd discovered in practice.
"I'd moved out to 25 feet and I was about to turn the boat around, then my dropshot went 'thump.'''
He eventually boxed a 20-pound stringer. That was far shy of the 24-07 he'd caught the previous day, but that bag had included a 7 1/2-pounder.
He threw the dropshot off and on throughout the derby. His main program was fishing a Secret Lures Ledge Shaker jighead with a big worm, and he caught several quality specimens with a spoon late on day 2 to go with his monster.
"That was the only place I could get bit on the spoon," he said. "I had the big one and four 15-inchers when I went to this one point and wrecked them."
The finish was the second-best of his Tour career, surpassed only by a 9th at Lake Champlain in 2012.
The Big Bite Lookback, which focuses on the angler who's first out of the final cut at each tour-level event, is brought to you by the great folks at Big Bite Baits.

With a day like this, it was easy to decide what we were going to do: head to the beach. And being just a mere walk away from our $30 a night apartment in Salvador (we know, you hate us), it was an easy jaunt for us. Hit the beach in today's photo gallery.

ISLAMORADA -- When Jon Landau, the "Avatar" and "Titanic" producer, moved to Islamorada in 2010, his goal, in part, was to spend his non-working life away from the hot cauldron of Hollywood.
But Landau, who first experienced the Florida Keys in 1986 while working on "Making Mr. Right," starring John Malkovich, also recognizes the potential of Islamorada as a film location. Like the rest of the Keys, it is surrounded by azure waters, which make for great scene shots whether a production is set in the Keys, the Caribbean or the South Pacific. Furthermore, Islamorada is more convenient to reach than the Lower Keys and a bit more off the map than Key Largo.
"Islamorada gives you that tropical, isolated feel without being far away from the mainland and the resources of Miami," Landau said.
The production team that last week began filming the thus-far-unnamed 13-episode Netflix series set in Islamorada appears to agree. From an economic standpoint, the winner is likely to be the whole of the northern Keys. And it's not just the obvious candidates, like hotels and restaurants, that stand to benefit.
"Films have a major impact on the local economy," Landau said. "They spend diversely. Films require lumber, stationary, catering."
The Netflix show, to star Sam Shepard and Sissy Spacek and to be produced by Sony Pictures TV, is far from the first Hollywood production to come to Islamorada. Since 2002, four big studio motion pictures have shot here, according to Monroe County Film Commissioner Rita Troxel, most recently the 2011 DreamWorks Pictures production "I Am Number Four." But none of those projects spent nearly as much time in Islamorada as the Netflix/Sony team plans to. The production has applied for permits through mid-October. In contrast, the 2002 Universal Pictures production "Red Dragon" filmed in Islamorada for just two weeks, though advance time took several months, Troxel said.
Even with that much shorter time window, the "Red Dragon" production made a big splash on the local economy. The production's direct spending in the Keys was approximately $2 million, according to Troxel. She said she typically multiplies a production's direct expenditures by three in considering its cumulative impact. The off-the-job expenditures of the film crew and the economic trickle down are key factors in that analysis.
One of the local beneficiaries of "Red Dragon" was Craig Lindback, whose Lindback Bobcat Company did the landscaping and maintenance at an Upper Matecumbe Key home used in the shoot.
"It brings in good money," said Lindback, who has also worked several times as a local facilitator for production companies and who has taken on the same role with the Netflix series. "They always pay pretty well."
Unlike the other recent productions that filmed here, the Netflix show's story will be set in Islamorada, which should bring an extra economic boost. How much of a boost, of course, will depend upon the popularity of the series.
But the number has the potential to be substantial. A Greater Miami Convention and Business Bureau study, for example, found that during 2011-12 the USA Network program "Burn Notice," which is distributed in 200 countries, generated $26.5 million worth of publicity to the Magic City.
More immediately, Islamorada Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Judy Hull said local businesses are already feeling the benefits of having a film crew in town. Some 75 to 125 workers will be on-site through the course of the more than six months of production.
"We are getting room nights, we are getting restaurant reservations, and they're shopping," she said.
Lindback said that he'll be piloting boats during water-bound shoots for the Netflix series. For previous film projects he has helped producers secure everything from homes and warehouse space to antiques. They've also purchased plants, hired caterers and even rented a big rusted drum to be used as a burning barrel.
For "I Am Number Four," the producers rented charter boats that were used to create large wakes for a Jet Skiing action sequence.
"A yard worker all the way to the person that owns the house is making money down here," Lindback said of the film productions.

Man Dies After Police Put Him in Chokehold [VIDEO]
I don't even know what to say here since I don't have all the facts. I guess this 400 pound man is being accused of illegally selling a cigarette and had just broken up a fight. After police refuse to listen to his side of the story, they take him down hard. You can hear him say that he couldn't breath and that's the last thing anyone heard from him because he died right there. Again, I don't have all the facts but to me it seems a bit excessive.

Polenta Caprese Pizza
Serving Size: 8
- Lightly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tbsp oil. In a large pot, bring milk, 3 cups water and salt to boil over high heat. Whisk in cornmeal in a gentle stream and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring often, until polenta is thick and no longer gritty, about 20 minutes. Working quickly, pour polenta into prepared pan, spreading evenly to the edges. Let stand 10 minutes; cover with plastic wrap and press polenta along sides of pan to form edges of crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 450°. Bake chilled crust until it begins to brown at edges, 45 minutes to an hour. Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan. Sauté shallots and garlic over medium-high heat until soft, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 5 minutes. Mash with the back of a spoon and cook until thickened, 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce onto the crust, top with cheese and bake until cheese is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with basil and cut into squares.

Red-tail baby
Guess who else has a nestling? (Update on June 4, 2008: There are 2 nestlings!)
The pair of red-tailed hawks near my office has been quite conspicuous this spring. In March they mated at various locations in the neighborhood, then selected a site and constructed their nest in a gutter.
I didn't think it was a good place for a nest. The roof is steep and the gutter fills in a hard rain and there's no shade whatsoever. Mother Hawk thought differently.
She laid eggs in April and spent a long time incubating, almost invisible in the deep nest. I assume there was more than one egg but there's no way to know. The nest is inaccessible – just the way they like it.
One day in early May her mate arrived at the nest with food. Hmmm. I'll bet the eggs just hatched.
Outside my window the red-tail parents bring food – hour after hour, day after day. Last week they brought more leaves and evergreens to line the nest.
Finally this week the baby was tall enough to see over the edge. Ta dah! One nestling.
He has a nose like his mother's, don't you think?
(I took this photo from a great distance. The red heart-shaped things are decorative snow guards that keep snow from sliding off the roof. They are not as close to the nest as they appear in this photo)
Update on June 9: It was so hot and sunny today that Mother Hawk mantled over her nestlings to provide shade while they stood on the nest to avoid the hot tin gutter. The nestlings are already feathered but not quite ready to fly. This evening they were exercising their wings, flapping and rising up above the nest.

Good Morning Kate,
I think I still see tails at the Gulf Tower. Any reports of the chicks leaving the nest? This morning one of the chicks was apparently on the camera at the Cathedral site, and at one point looked directly into the camera…what fun. Hope to see you at the tent in a few days.
I haven't heard any news of the Gulf Tower chicks but I assume they've flown – at least a little by now.

This new evidence does not mean the Captain is innocent, it only means Costa may also be guilty of reckless navigation policies.
And nothing here changes the cowardly behavior of the captain after the accident, or the lack of order during the evacuation.
quote:Originally posted by Fairsky:And nothing here changes the cowardly behavior of the captain after the accident, or the lack of order during the evacuation.
The guy was probably in 'shock' and may not have been mentally or physically capable of assisting the evacuation.
As I said before it is quite WRONG for Costa/Carnival to blame him BEFORE the inquiry. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Carnival were protecting their cruise product giving the Captain the full blame.

"Innocent until proven guilty" is not part of Italian law. In fact, in Italy a suspect may be held in prison for up to 1 year before being formally accused or indicted.
Still, these facts appear undeniable:
1. The captain abandoned his ship before all passengers were evacuated. (Why he left is up for debate, but it was a violation of his duties.)
2. When ordered to return to the ship he did not.
3. No "Mayday" signal was issued by the captain that would have mobilized rescue boats earlier and possibly helped the evacuation.
4. Junior officers began mustering people to lifeboats BEFORE the order to abandon ship because they saw the severity of the situation. In other words, the captain seemed to be in denial and therefore delayed the order to evacuate.
5. Witnesses universally agree that the evacuation was disorderly, leaderless, and chaotic. Whether the captain's fault or the result of poorly trained crew, the cruise line is responsible.
6. Sailing close to Giglio had been pre-approved by the cruise line in the past, it was not authorized on Jan 13. The captain was in violation of cruise line policy when he deviated from the pre-determined course.
The reliability of a chart, whether it is a paper chart or an electronic chart should continuously be assessed by the navigation staff.
quote:Originally posted by Fairsky:"Innocent until proven guilty" is not part of Italian law.
I agree entirely with your point that the events that caused the accident, and the captain's part in them, must be looked at separately from the actions of the captain following the accident and in the management of the evacuation. In the rush to judgement, many people are overlooking this crucial distinction.
Indeed, there are even different parts to the subsequent events: it seems at least theoretically possible that the captain's decision (if that is what it was) to sit the ship on the ledge to stop her fully sinking into deep water may have saved lives, even if it is later proved that he was thereafter more concerned about saving his own skin than about the welfare of his passengers.
Happens in every country with a fair criminal justice system.
It's not like he was send to prison for 20 years in the absence of a fair trial.
That said, I have a feeling that distance from the island opposite the harbour entrance won't turn out to be critical - I think there is deep water there (that's why the harbour is located there). What's critical, I think, is the area to the south of the harbour; and even on the small-scale diagrams we already have, last Friday the ship appears to be going closer to the island in that area then she did in August. I can imagine that in August although she tucked in closer to the island opposite the harbour entrance, that was safe; but her approach on that occasion kept her further away from the dangerous area to the south.

The case of Sea Diamond is an excellent example how inappropriate such gossip can be - not to talk about the rather primitive prejudices you spread.
Just to get you up-to-date: It turned out that the charts were indeed faulty (I am however not sure whether this will change the conviction).
quote: The case of Sea Diamond is an excellent example how inappropriate such gossip can be - not to talk about the rather primitive prejudices you spread.
It's not prejudice, there is a trend. I have worked under many different captains, and most of them I have great respect for regardless of nationality. On the Zenith we had an excellent captain who I respected very much. I think in some cases there is a "cultural arrogance" attached to the position of captain. My comments are not based on rumor, rather in some cases I've had direct experiences with some captains who have been proven to be sloppy in their seamanship.
Is there a law that says the captain must go down with his ship? I've heard the response that when a captain says "abandon ship" every man & woman for themselves....doesn't that release the captain to depart a sinking ship?

Oh, I see. That makes of course a huge difference if we call it a trend. So it's a 'Greek-Italian' tend we talk about or should we lump together some other nations too?

Cruise Ship Accident Stirs Thoughts of the Andrea DoriaBy JAMES BARRON
Associated PressThe Andrea Doria after colliding with the Stockholm off the coast of Nantucket, July 25, 1956.
Gregorio Borgia/Associated PressThe Costa Concordia, which ran aground off the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012.First thing Saturday, Pierette Domenica Simpsons boyfriend called and said, Go online. Youll be interested.
She checked the headlines. Something about an Italian ocean liner in trouble. The way the ship was listing, the report that it was taking on water, the light from the cabins reflecting in the water, the passengers struggle to clamber into lifeboats everything seemed so familiar. I thought, How can this be? Its 56 years later, Ms. Simpson said.
For Ms. Simpson, the wreck of the Costa Concordia brought back memories of one of the most famous disasters in maritime history, an accident that she survived as a 9-year-old girl: The collision on July 25, 1956, that left the Italian ship Andrea Doria, bound for New York City, listing in the Atlantic after being struck by a Swedish ocean liner, the Stockholm.
It was unreal and surreal, the fact that they were both leaning on the starboard side, she said. If you put the two photographs together of the night scene of the Concordia and the night scene of the Andrea Doria with the incline on the starboard side and the lights coming from the portholes, you cannot tell the difference.
But there was a difference: We were in the middle of the ocean. They were near shore, which was their demise. Youd think that would be their blessing.
Crews pulled five more bodies from the wreckage of the Costa Concordia on Tuesday, bringing the death toll from that accident to at least 11. Prosecutors and the cruise line are blaming the captain for the wreck, saying he deviated from the ships plotted course, bringing it too close to the shoreline.
Ms. Simpson, who is 64 and lives in Novi, Mich., was immigrating with her grandparents, as she described in the book Alive on the Andrea Doria! The Greatest Sea Rescue in History (Morgan James Publishing, 2008). Even before the Concordia disaster, Ms. Simpson was working on a new book: I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s. Its a novel, she said, and one of the characters is a 9-year-old girl.
Pierette Domenica Simpson recognized herself in film footage from the Ile de France, which rescued passengers from the Andrea Doria after it was hit by the Stockholm in the Atlantic in July 1956.Ms. Simpsons story was that she was rescued by the S.S. Ile de France, which sped to the scene and picked up more than 750 Andrea Doria passengers.
The Andrea Doria was on the next to the last day of a 10-day trip from Genoa, Italy, when it was hit. When it sank, nearly 11 hours later, a plane carrying a CBS News camera crew circled overhead. The correspondent Douglas Edwards, his nose against the window, described the Andrea Doria as looking like a colorful but big and dead hippopotamus.
The collision resulted in 51 deaths, 46 from the Andrea Doria and 5 from the Stockholm. Among the casualties on the Andrea Doria was Camille M. Cianfarra, a longtime foreign correspondent for The New York Times who was based in Madrid at the time. He was apparently thrown across his cabin, which was close to the Stockholms point of impact.
When I hear the passengers from the Concordia talking about how they injured their legs just to crawl upward and get out, Ms. Simpson said, thats what I found from interviewing my fellow survivors on the Andrea Doria and recalling what we had to do to get outside.
What seems to be different is we had an announcement shortly after the collision, she said. The captain ordered Officer Badano, the second officer, to make an announcement in English and Italian. It was such a staticky connection. We could only hear words like calm and life jackets. There was so much hysteria, we couldnt really hear.
Another difference, she said, was that the captain on the Andrea Doria sent out an S.O.S. almost immediately. He ordered the lowering of the lifeboats, she said, but the Andrea Doria was listing so badly that the lifeboats on the port side could not go down. Some passengers on the Concordia have described scenes of panic and confusion in their efforts to evacuate.
The ones on the right side, they were out 20-some feet from the ship, so we could not board them, she said. They had to be dropped in the ocean, and we had to make our own way down there.
Interview with Brandon Warrick
1. Could you give me an overview of yourselves?My name is Brandon Warrick and I'm a senior Kinesiology major at UMass Amherst. I play club tennis there and I plan on going into grad school for Physical Therapy.
2. Why did you book passage on the Concordia?My sister Amanda is studying abroad in Madrid for a year, so we decided to take a family cruise there and also stay in Madrid for a few days after.
3. When did you depart for your trip?Evening of January 9th
4. What was the itinerary?It was departure from Barcelona, then Mallorca, Cagliari, Palermo, Rome, Savona, Marseille, then back to Barcelona. Then Madrid for a week, but that was after the cruise.
5. Was this your first cruise?Our first with Costa/Carnival, but our third overall. The first 2 were with Royal Caribbean.
6. What did you think of the ship when you boarded it? How would you describe the public rooms? Your cabin?The ship wasn't bad, but I remember thinking it was no Royal Caribbean caliber ship. There was also way too much leniency on smoking. You could practically smoke anywhere. Overall the ship was average, but I would not call it a luxury cruise liner... Our cabin was a typical cruise ship cabin.
7. What were your cabin number assignments?We were on the second floor, room 2412.
8. How did you occupy your time aboard the ship?We explored the ship, had some drinks, went to the gym, and went to the formal dinners.
9. Did you make any friends aboard ship or were other acquaintances traveling with you?Yes, but we became close friends with them because of the accident. It was just the three of us traveling together. We also became friends with one of the crew members who went on our tour in Sicily, Nicki.
10. What were you doing when the ship struck the rocks? What deck where you on?We were on the 3rd deck for formal dinner.
11. Could you describe the noise?We didn't hear much of a noise from the actual hit. We heard mostly dishes and glass crashing/breaking.
12. What was the aftermath? Was there an immediate list? Was there panic where you were?There was panic everywhere, a lot of waiting and yes there was an immediate list.
13. Where did you go from there? Were you able to return to your cabins? If so, did you retrieve any personal items?We couldn't retrieve much of our things because they told us that everything would be fixed in no time. I thought I could just come back to the cabin after going to the lobby to find out what happened, but that's when panic struck, so by then we had no time to head back.
14. Was there furniture thrown around or was everything still in order as you made your way to the muster station? Was the list noticeable? Did you see water flooding into the ship?Everything in the stores on the ship had fallen. Pretty much everything that wasn't fastened to the ship fell. The list was very noticeable. At the very end, on our way to a lifeboat that had doubled back for us, the last corner we turned was a hallway with water rushing into it. Amanda fell into it because at that point the ship had tipped considerably more.
15. How would you describe the evacuation procedure? Did you stay in one place or did you try and find the best spot to board a lifeboat?The evacuation "procedure" was non-existent. Picture being in the front of the crowd at a Tiesto concert, except with lifevests and people always trying to jump on stage and you have the evacuation procedure. We respected the unwritten law of women and children first, as well elderly people, and were one of the very few people not pushing or shoving anyone. We got into "line" for each lifeboat but they would all fill before we even got close because everyone would just fight for the front. The only time we ever got aggressive was when the panicking crowd would actually break my hold with my sister's hand or if my brother got separated too far behind. When there was risk of being separated, Adrian and I had no problem tossing people out of the way in order to get back together as a unit. As for trying to board lifeboats, we more or less just got in line and if we got on, we got on; but we didn't. I'd say we got turned down by about 5 or 6. It was pretty disheartening, but I mean we also had in mind the women/children/elderly people first unwritten rule and abided by it. We got to each one as fast as we could but they all had large crowds in front of them before we even got there. At one of the boats we actually got within 8 or so people from getting on and it really sucked to get the door closed on us when it was right there.
16. Was there a point when you went from thinking the ship would be ok to the ship was definitely going to sink? Were you thinking you might have to swim to shore?No, because when the ship first tipped, it never recovered to the upright position, which I deduced as being stuck somehow. I just couldn't think of how an electrical problem could keep the cruise ship on its side. I considered the possibility of having to swim to shore, but it didn't really worry me.
18. How long from the striking of the rocks did it take you to get off the ship?About 3 hours. We got to shore around midnight.
19. Could you describe how you escaped?We were on the side of the ship that was higher in the air, and around midnight a few crew members came up and yelled for people to head to the lower end for the lifeboats that had doubled back to save more people. We held onto the railing and edged down the other because it was so steep. Then we took one more flight of stairs down, turned a corner and that's where we saw the water rushing in. We took a left, sprinted through the water, still holding onto a railing, and jumped onto a lifeboat.
20. What was the attitude of the crew and your fellow passengers? What did you think when you found out the Captain and his officers left before many of the passengers?The crew was scrambling and doing the best they could to bring order to the passengers, but with no leadership (from the Captain abandoning ship) and no guidance or orders, they were nearly powerless. I was really disappointed in the passengers. It was quite pathetic watching everyone hurt each other and put each other at risk just to get onto a lifeboat. I also thought the captain and whoever left with him who was supposed to stay was pathetic and cowardly, of course.
21. Did you see the ship go over on its side?Not completely, but it was certainly on its way to being on its side the last time i saw it.
22. Is it true the shipping line hasn't offered much help in getting to your destination or regarding lost luggage?Regarding our lost luggage, we have literally no information. However, we received a lot of help getting to Rome and then to Barcelona where our parents were. They also got my sister a plane ticket home to states so she could see family and friends for a week or so (she was supposed to go back to school in Madrid) with only a day's notice, which I thought was impressive. Not only getting a hold of a ticket, but the prices are around $2500-3000 at such short notice.

23. Did you save anything from the ship? Room key? menu? any pictures or video?We have a lot of pictures because of all the waiting we did after all the lifeboats were gone. I only saved my iPhone and my glasses because I'm almost legally blind without contacts/glasses. I really wish that they hadn't told us everything would be fine "in no time." I agree that they should have said something like an electrical failure was the problem, but they should have said "but just in case, pack your valuables" instead of basically guaranteeing us that everything was fine...
24. Would you ever sail again?Yes, but not with Carnival or any other middle ground cruiseline. Royal Caribbean I would be totally fine sailing with again. Safety is truly their number one priority and you know it because of how thorough the practice drills are and the fact that they force every passenger to be there - they check your rooms, scan the whole boat, everything. Costa did nothing of the sort.
25. How has the disaster affected you?I'm actually thankful for this disaster. It has really changed me for the better and I have such a positive, happy perspective on life now. I'm cherishing every moment and I hope this change is permanent. Given the chance, I wouldn't change a thing if I knew it would change me this way.
26. Will you keep up with the official inquiry into the shipwreck?Probably, but I'm probably not going to do much more than keep tabs.

Interview with Amanda Warrick
1. Could you give me an overview of yourselves?My name is Amanda Warrick, I'm 18 years old from Braintree, MA
2. Why did you book passage on the Concordia?I am currently studying abroad in Madrid, Spain for my freshman year of college and my family decided to come visit me for a couple of weeks.
3. When did you depart for your trip?We departed the 9th of January, 2012
4. What was the itinerary?Depart from Barcelona, then Palma de Mallorca, Cagliari, Palermo, Rome, Savona, and Marseille
5. Was this your first cruise?Our first with Costa, but third all in all (the two others were with Royal Caribbean)
6. What did you think of the ship when you boarded it? How would you describe the public rooms? Your cabin?Huge, haha. We actually didn't think the layout of the ship was very well done, getting around to different dining rooms, gym, etc was pretty confusing. The cabin was nice, though.
7. What were your cabin number assignments?We were all in 2412. We were an outside cabin. It is currently under water.
Amanda Warwick's Costa Concordia Key
8. How did you occupy your time aboard the ship?We didn't really spend much time on the ship other than eating our meals, using the gym, going to shows or the bars.
9. Did you make any friends aboard ship or were other acquaintances traveling with you?We met a few other people, on excursions into the different ports, mostly American.
10. What were you doing when the ship struck the rocks? What deck where you on?We were at dinner, in the middle of our 2nd course when the ship struck rocks. This was on deck 4
11. Could you describe the noise?I couldn't actually hear the noise of the ship striking the rock, probably because we weren't close to it, but I just remember feeling the entire ship shake, tilt, and lights flicker.
12. What was the aftermath? Was there an immediate list? Was there panic where you were?After the first tilt, no one panicked, they thought it was just rough seas, but after the second, when glasses and tables started falling, people got up and started to panic. No one knew what was going on, although while some were panicking, others were still sitting at their dinner tables, eating.
13. Where did you go from there? Were you able to return to your cabins? If so, did you retrieve any personal items?After about 10 minutes of waiting for any information and not getting any, we decided on our own to return to our cabins and get our life jackets, just in case, since we saw others doing the same. At this point, we were doing this just as a precaution, we didn't think there would really be any need for them. Upon arrival at our room, I retrieved my laptop, camera, and my purse with my wallet, license, debit cards, etc. Adrian packed his backpack with the same items. Brandon, who thought he would be able to return to our cabin in case of an actual emergency since there was just a "technical difficulty" did not pack anything except his iPhone and iPod, wearing shorts and a tshirt.
14. Was there furniture thrown around or was everything still in order as you made your way to the muster station? Was the list noticeable? Did you see water flooding into the ship? As we passed stores on ship, glass display cases were smashed, clothes racks were fallen over, signs were also fallen over. At this point the list was definitely noticeable, noticeable since initial crash at dinner. At the muster stations, there was no water flooding in, the only time we saw water flooding in (probably the scariest part) was the very end at the decks where the lifeboats had come back for us.
15. How would you describe the evacuation procedure? Did you stay in one place or did you try and find the best spot to board a lifeboat?Chaotic. Navigating the outside decks was difficult just because of the disregard people had for other people. Instead of doing anything to get to a lifeboat first, i.e. pushing, shoving, my brothers and I stayed calm, and just tried to get to each lifeboat accordingly, which is ultimately why we missed the initial ones and ended up having to wait about an hour and a half. The siren had 7 loud beeps followed by one long one. This was supposed to be what was known as the "abandon ship" signal.
16. Was there a point when you went from thinking the ship would be ok to the ship was definitely going to sink? Were you thinking you might have to swim to shore?From the time we got outside to the decks and saw the chaos and people actually getting into lifeboats I knew that something was seriously wrong and that the boat was sinking. Everything from jumping off the side of the ship to swimming ashore went through my mind.
18. How long from the striking of the rocks did it take you to get off the ship?About 3 hours total.
19. Could you describe how you escaped?We were at the side of the ship highest from the water, waiting, and after about an hour and a half of standing there waiting for any kind of instruction, crew members started shouting at us to run to the other side of the ship. Holding onto the railings, my brothers and I started running through the ship, which was tilting at a dangerous angle, to get to the other side. I couldn't even tell what part of the ship we were on, it was so dark, and obviously I couldn't really pay attention, but all I know is we ran through a hallway, past a few staircases, always holding onto the railing. There was nothing blocking our path. We got to the side of the ship nearest to shore/sinking into the water and ran down a small set of stairs, slipped and fell into water that was flowing onto the deck. (It was) about knee-high deep. It didn't increase noticeably, but we never waited at that point, we were basically running across the deck, still holding onto the railing, otherwise we would have definitely slipped and fallen either against the outer railing or into the water (as there were some open spots)A crew member shouted for us to get to the side of the ship with the railing, and run down further to where a lifeboat would come to the side of the ship. We ran, briefly getting separated from Adrian for a minute (which was scary) and finally, a lifeboat came, the crew on the boat threw a rope and tied it to the railing, and the remaining passengers were helped onto the boat and we were off to the port.
20. What was the attitude of the crew and your fellow passengers? What did you think when you found out the Captain and his officers left before many of the passengers?I have to commend the crew operating the boat on how efficient they were in getting to the ship and getting passengers off the Concordia. The crew on the cruise ship, although without the leadership of a captain, I felt did the best they could in handling the passengers and helping people. As far as doing their job, they did it well. The passengers were a different story. No one cared for anyone but themselves. It was basically a free for all and a competition to see who could get to the boats first. It's understandable that in a situation as this, people will panic and things won't go perfectly fine, but I feel that there could have been more order and more respect for one another.
Adrian, Brandon and Amanda in the lifeboat
21. Did you see the ship go over on its side?Yes, while waiting at the port of Giglio for a few hours, all you could do was wait, and watch the ship slowly sink further into the water and more onto its side.
22. Is it true the shipping line hasn't offered much help in getting to your destination or regarding lost luggage?The cruise ship line did a good job in arranging flights to where we needed to go, but we haven't heard any further information regarding lost luggage.
23. Did you save anything from the ship? Room key? menu? any pictures or video?Yes. I have my room key, some receipts from excursions booked through the ship (some we weren't able to go on for obvious reasons), and I have a bunch of pictures on my dad's camera that I saved.
24. Would you ever sail again? Would you say it was like Titanic or is that too easy a comparison?Yes, but not for a while! No, it was definitely just like Titanic!
25. How has the disaster affected you?Given me a different perspective on life. I realize how much material things don't matter (sounds cliche, but trust me..it's true) and how much more family matters.
26. Will you keep up with the official inquiry into the shipwreck?Yes. I mostly just want to see if there are any more people found on the ship/ how many are still missing.

5. Mr. G – Summer Heights High
Summer Heights High is an Australian mockumentary that gained a lot of attention when it aired in 2007. Created by Chris Lilly, who plays three characters (including the one highlighted here), it was a parody of high school life that included non-actors as background players.
The character of Mr. G is an effeminate 37-year-old drama teacher at the school who believes he's extremely well liked – so he's somewhat of a dramatic Australian Michael Scott.
While he might not be as kind as the aforementioned teachers, he definitely has a passion behind the musical he wants to produce at school – based on a student's unfortunate death based on drugs, yet somehow named Mr. G: The Musical.
Good news, everyone! Every list of great teachers deserves one mad scientist. While a bit senile, the Professor has put at least one parallel universe in peril with his inventions – yet he never let the bad days take away his dream of being the best scientist out there. (Hear that, Odgen Wernstrom? He's just not giving up.)
Farnsworth makes the list because while being a bit dim, he has helped the crew during many an episode. While I unpopularly love the "Jurassic Bark" episode where Fry tries to rejuvenate a mummified version of his loving dog Seymour, it's Farnsworth who creates the device to make it possible.
(And it fails because of Bender. I won't explain it further, as I've been near tears since the start of that second paragraph.) (It's just an emotional episode, okay?)
7. Dewey Finn – School of Rock
I always liked Jack Black, but School of Rock is one of his projects that has impressed me the most. When he's kicked out of his band in the beginning of the movie and threatened to be evicted by his two roommates, Ned and Patty, based on his lack of a job, Dewey pretends he's Ned on the phone and accepts a substitute teacher assignment. While not being fit to teach kids, his interest in the classroom grows once he realizes his students are musically talented.
Long story short, the kids form a secret band with Dewey and end up kicking a lot of butt at a Battle of the Bands. And while their parents are ticked off at Dewey for not teaching their children academic studies and for running away from them to play a show, they realize he's harmless and the kids are having an amazing time.
8. Syrio Forel – Game Of Thrones
Sure, Syrio wasn't on the show for long, but his amazing fencing skills were passed onto everyone's favorite character, the young Arya Stark. Syrio trained Arya using wooden swords filled with lead, and also mentored her on how to think like a warrior: to be perceptive, move with grace, and command her fear.
While Syrio's teachings may have lead to a lot of bruises, (as he says, every hurt is a lesson and every lesson makes you better), Arya refuses to learn under anyone else.
In turn, Arya turned out to be one of the most fearless members of the Stark family.
9. Lily Aldrin – How I Met Your Mother
Lily makes some questionable choices as a teacher and might have badmouthed a few of her students while trying to figure out a baby name with her husband Marshall, but she's a tough little firecracker who seems content with her job. I mean, with activities like coloring, finger painting, show and tell, nap time and sharing, what's there to be sad about?
Lily also has a Career Day, where she brings some of her buddies (Robin and Barney) in to talk about what they do for a living. As a running gag, it's still never revealed as to what Barney does for a living. Instead of writing it on the chalkboard under his name, all it said was "not the purple one".
10. Prof. Grady Tripp – Wonder Boys
First thing's first – if you've never seen this movie, please do. This was back when Tobey Maguire was still boyishly cute, and not in the midst of a scary dangerous Seabiscuit weight plummet. But this is about Grady – played by the wonderful Michael Douglas.
Grady is so influential as an English professor that Tobey's character, James Leer, uses him as a mentor without him every officially accepting the job. Grady's also a writer, working on a follow-up to a best selling novel. And as many writers who feel the pressure of their second big hit, which has been in an "incomplete" status for many years, there's a sadness in Grady.
While he might not make all of the right personal choices, Grady isn't jarring or dimwitted – he's human, and quite an amazing character.
Who makes your list of top teachers? Do you have any teachers you'd like to give props to in the comments? We'd love to hear about some of the strong people who've taught and inspired you!

Date of Stay: August, 2011
We really enjoyed this park. It is very quiet and private. All the sites are paved and well maintained. We drove through some other campgrounds in the area and decided even though we are not ocean front we really preferred the camp ground because if wasn't over crowded. This campground was mainly older people which was fine with us. We did have our son (9) and nephew (7) with us and they were fine with the very large pool and playground. It is a very safe area and everyone was very friendly. We would definitely stay again. Also, the bath houses were some of the nicest we have every seen. They are cleaned frequently and have individual glass enclosed showers.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
We love this campground and everything about it. We only ever have two complaints. They\ showers have the pull cords which makes it very hard to shower. My 8 year old son always has a hard time getting it to work. My second issue is the charge to bring your own golf cart. This is the only campground that I have been to where it has been an issue. Other then that we love it and come many times per year.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
We really liked this campground except they put our 40' 5th wheel in the back lot. The roads are very narrow with lots of trees. The girl at the front desk directed us in the wrong way, but once we got settled it was very nice. Next time we will request a front lot or a super site.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
We really like this campground. They do have plenty to do and the "rangers" are pretty nice. The only complaint I have with this campground: the bath houses are old and pretty worn out. They are not kept very clean. We camp here almost every weekend during the season and have visited a lot of places, but this is the only place we really have this complaint. Also, it appears that they only have one bathhouse for each section and they are not conveniently located. Other then that, the sites are very large and pretty level. They didn't have the snack bar open yet, but said they didn't have enough time with the long winter.

Hey nacy...how come you deleted this from your thread??Quoting: Anonymous Coward 759441
Truth getting to ya huh?
All your past bullshit starting to catch up with ya??
1st puppy killer call.
[link to www.zetatalk.com]
CALLER: Why did you kill your dog.
NANCY: Actually, ZetaTalk has been the subject of a great disinformation campaign, a hate campaign, every since it emerged in 1995 people have either loved it or hated it, and that's run about 50/50, my email runs like that. And there's been many organized campaigns to try to discredit ZetaTalk. It has an extremely high accuracy track record. This is one of the reasons for its success. I have never spammed email, gone out and promoted myself, called up and said 'oh please, please, have me on your show'. It has come to me. This is a bit astonishing because it is know around the world, there are very few countries I don't get email from. I hear that I've appeared in magazines in Australia or Germany. All that translation on my website is done by volunteers. This is because people say it has the ring of truth, brings things together, gives explanations to puzzles, and is so logical. So therefore, it's highly popular. It is giving out a message that the establishment, the people who are the bankers, the heads of government, organized religion, don't want you to hear. That we are going to have cataclysmic changes in our near future. That the governments know about this and are not informing you. That the alien presence is real and this is not something you need to fear and here's how you work with it, you are in control. These are messages they don't want out, so therefore there's a campaign to smear me, and smear ZetaTalk.
One of them is the silliest thing. I had a German Shepherd pup that I put to sleep at 18 months at the advice of the vet because he had been under socialized in the kennel and he was likely to attack people. He was already diving through windows when children rode by on their bikes. We were terrified he was going to bite a child. Someone asked me on live radio what the Zetas recommendation would be for people who had pets going into a pole shift. Starvation is expected to be rampant. 90% of the population is expected to die, not just from starvation, from injury, illness, depression, but starvation will be rampant. And their answer was, how are you going to feed that pet when your neighbor's child is starving? So our recommendation is, when you see the pole shift coming, and its imminent and there's no question, take it to the vet and put it to sleep. It's painless. Otherwise you're going to be starving your pet, if that's your choice, fine. And that got twisted around to Nancy Lieder the puppy killer. Hahaha. I kid you not, and that's my answer. It is a serious problem, and particularly with dogs, and that's not the reason we put this dog to sleep. He slept with us and ate at our table and sat on my lap, all 120 lbs of him, and watched TV, and we cried and he died in my arms, but he was going to bite somebody and probably a child and we just couldn't have it.
2nd puppy killer call.
[link to www.zetatalk.com]
They didn't say, 'go out and euthanize your pets'. They said you should be aware that after the pole shift there will be starvation. And if you're staying with your pet, you will be either eating it or watching it starve, unless you're the type of person who will feed your pet while your neighbor's children starve. And they said 'when you are sure that the pole shift is imminent'. Given that they were asked this question, they gave practical advice. And I think it's really silly that we're spending more time on this.
3rd puppy killer call.
[link to www.zetatalk.com]
CALLER: You killed your dog, I hope you get a dog humping your leg forever in retribution.
NANCY: This dog had a bladder infection when he was in the kennel, but I didn't know that. He was just a very quiet male pup and he hadn't gotten any socializing at all. He loved the immediate family. But anybody like a toddler, he was very fearful, and I consulted experts and they said you can train him to not bark and yap but his fear will break through and he will bite somebody. We're advising that you put him to sleep. Experts advised this, the vet advised this. Undersocialized kennel dogs end up at the end of a chain, barking frantically at people, they live a terrible life. So the vet advised we put him to sleep because that was going to be his life. He was going to be a japing dog at the end of a chain, a junk yard dog. And it wasn't painful to put him to sleep and I have no regrets. So that's once again, Nancy Lieder the puppy killer, ridiculous, and I don't mind dogs humping my leg, by the way. I love animals, you have no idea how much.

Nice try, Nancy. The only disinformation campaign is coming from you as you try to cover your ass. The transcript and audio file of your appearance on KROQ are still out there. NOWHERE did you mention the dog being ill or feral. YOU made it quite clear you put the dog down because you were sparing it from the pole shift. And let's not forget how you've been caught editing your site or your posts here. Nothing but lies and deception from you.

Interviewer 1: What about the last question for me Nancy, and you are terrific for talking to us today but, what about our listeners who have followed your advice and taken their dogs to Puppy Lake because of the impending collapse of America? What happens to them now?
Nancy: The puppies, the puppies didn't think that anything worse was happening to them than getting their annual rabies shot, and it didn't feel any different to them.
Interviewer 1: So they are in a happy place now? Ok?
Nancy: Yeah I mean they are in a happy place. I suspect there is a nice place in Puppy Heaven for those puppies.

KOTLI, (The News): Two civilians were martyred in fresh unprovoked Indian firing and mortar shelling at Line of Control (LoC) on Sunday, Geo News reported.
According to Assistant Commissioner Nakyal Muhammad Ayud Khan, India resorted to unprovoked firing and mortar shelling in Nakyal sector. A woman was killed and minor girl injured when a mortar shell hit a house in Datot area.
A civilian was also martyred in Indian firing in Pir Kalanjar of Nakyal sector on Sunday.
Earlier, Indian army's wanton cross-border shelling/firing on a Pakistani village in Nakyal sector near Kotli district of Azad Jammu & Kashmir had left three civilians including two women injured on late Saturday night.
Pakistani border security forces retaliating with full force gave a befitting reply to the occupational Indian forces deployed on the Line of Control (LoC) in Indian Held Kashmir.
Sources said one of the shells fired by Indian artillery from across the international border landed on a house in Lanjot village.
On Saturday evening, the India troops also violated ceasefire at LoC and opened unprovoked fire in Tarkandi, Datot, Kalar, Gala and Charani areas.
Meanwhile, addressing a ceremony in Hyderabad Dakan, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said violation of ceasefire at LoC was not international issue and that both the countries should resolve it bilaterally.
He said incidents of firings takes place from both sides but media cannot show them in a proper way.
