Disaster's Wake
The aftermath of Katrina and Rita has states and localities dusting off their disaster-response plans. But there's more they could and should be doing.
Peter O'Neill thought the levees would hold. Everyone in the city did. It was wishful thinking. Rapidly rising waters breached the clay walls, sending water into the streets, filling them like kiddie pools until only the pitched rooftops of houses were visible.
The catastrophic flooding was bad enough. Then fires broke out, and there was no way for fire fighters like O'Neill to drive pump trucks into the deep water without swamping the engines. fire fighters could only watch as some of the city's most beloved historic buildings burned. Rescuers in skiffs were lucky to get all 150 people stuck inside the flaming structures--people who had ignored mandatory evacuation orders--out alive.
This is not New Orleans, 2005. It was Grand Forks, North Dakota, 1997. The Great Flood--a "500-year" event--submerged 90 percent of the city's homes and businesses and charred 11 downtown buildings, many down to the water line.
Locals today don't like comparing the epic snowmelt that swelled the Red River to the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina. Grand Forks is only one-tenth the size of New Orleans, and bad as the property damage was, no one died there.
Yet in the wake of Katrina, it's useful to look again not just at lessons from Grand Forks but all kinds of disasters of the past decade. Whether the calamity was natural or manmade, common themes emerge.
First among them is a sense of denial. Nobody, from citizens up to their mayors and governors, wants to believe that their "big one"-- whether that's a hurricane, earthquake, wildfire, tornado or terrorist attack--will occur on their watch. "Right up until the dikes actually broke, we thought we'd survive it and hold back the waters," says O'Neill, Grand Forks' fire chief. "Nobody thinks it'll happen to them."
Katrina has changed that--if not permanently, then for at least as long as the images of Gulf Coast flooding, fires, looting and human suffering linger in Americans' minds. State and local officials across the country are cracking open their emergency plans. They're asking: What did we forget? "There are lessons to be learned from every type of critical incident," says Michael Sturm, emergency operations chief in Oakland County, Michigan. "Emergency plans need to be living, breathing, working documents, not something that gets thrown on a shelf."
What follows is a series of nine questions that leaders of every city, county and state should be asking right now. The questions are based on interviews with experts and on the battle-tested experience of places that have seen life-threatening crises. There's the Grand Forks flood that nearly wiped out the city; the Chicago heat wave of 1995 that killed more than 700 people; the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City; Seattle's Nisqually earthquake of 2001; the electrical blackout of 2003 that plunged eight states in the Northeast into darkness; and San Diego County's wildfires of 2003 that burned 2,800 homes and businesses. Plus, of course, the latest catastrophes now on everyone's mind: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
What's chilling about lessons from each of these is not that officials didn't have emergency plans in place. They did. It's that even well-crafted plans, when put into action, don't always perform as expected. "Ask any health preparedness expert in the country and they will tell you they're not surprised by Katrina," says Shelley Hearne, executive director of the Trust for America's Health. "Unfortunately, a Katrina-like response could happen in any city in this country."
In the aftermath of Katrina, several hundred tourists and New Orleans locals tried marching out of town, evacuating on orders of the New Orleans Police Department. They were stopped on a bridge by police from the neighboring town of Gretna and told to turn back. "Who was coordinating Gretna's police action with New Orleans' police action?" asks Dutch Leonard, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Chain of command has been a front-burner issue ever since 9/11, when disagreements between the New York City police and fire departments were said to have gotten in the way of rescue efforts at the World Trade Center. The bipartisan 9/11 Commission recommended that emergency response agencies across the country adopt a management structure known as "incident command": Put the chief of one service in charge of overall response to a crisis and all the other chiefs under him or her.
According to federal directives, state and local agencies were supposed to have incident command systems in place this past September. Some cities are very well trained in incident command, especially ones that have adopted it as an everyday way of handling routine emergencies like car crashes. But turf battles in other cities have slowed progress. Only a month ago, more than four years after 9/11, did New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg put his police chief, Ray Kelly, in charge of incident command for major emergencies--and that move still faces political hurdles.
But having a system in place is not enough. Bill Killen, president of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, told the U.S. Congress in September that, in response to Katrina, "Louisiana had a system based on" incident command "but did not utilize it."
Katrina has some experts wondering if a parallel command system is necessary to coordinate political leaders, too. "Look at 9/11," says Leonard. "Rudy Giuliani did the talking, and there was Governor Pataki standing behind him the entire time, not pushing himself forward but basically standing there, warranting, 'and the state says so, too.' That was effective and useful. In Katrina, you immediately had different people at different levels pointing fingers and criticizing each other. That wasn't helpful."
All emergency plans rely heavily on "first responders." Police are supposed to keep civil order; fire fighters evacuate buildings; emergency medical technicians tend to injured persons; and public works crews get lights, telephones and water running. Katrina exposed a big flaw in that plan. What if many of your rank and file won't, or can't, report for duty? Nearly 250 New Orleans police officers--15 percent of the force--went AWOL. Here's a more sobering thought: First responders are likely to take the brunt of mass-casualty events. On 9/11, 409 of the people who died at the World Trade Center were fire fighters, cops and medical technicians.
Workforce issues are not just a question of first responders. King County, Washington, is working on its survival plan for a severe influenza pandemic. The plan presumes that 30 percent of the public and private workforce would be infected and unable to do their jobs. Similarly, one assessment of New York City's response to the 2003 blackout noted that skilled workers such as electricians or plumbers have been overlooked in emergency planning. The report by a mayoral task force called for development of an "essential skills" database of public and private employees--people who could help with traffic control, staff ferry landings or respond to non-crisis needs of vulnerable citizens.
External forces can have a big impact on manpower. Many Louisianans still believe that Katrina would have turned out differently had one- third of the state's National Guard not been stationed in Iraq at the time. Prosaic concerns, such as vacation schedules, also matter. Consider that Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley was on vacation when his city began to sizzle in July of 1995. So was Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick when the lights went out in August of 2003.
There are also lingering questions about how states and localities share manpower during a crisis. Julius Ciaccia, Jr. is Cleveland's water commissioner and steered his system out of a complete shutdown during the blackout. He knows a thing or two that he'd love to share with New Orleans' water people and hands-on assistance he'd like to provide. "We see this situation in the Gulf, and we're all anxious to pitch in and help," Ciaccia says. "Nationally, we need to think through what roles we should be playing. Some communities sent crews down there just to go and find something to do. Then we're like, 'Jeesh, should we do that?'"
Just before Katrina slammed into New Orleans, Scott Domke, a member of Mayor Ray Nagin's staff, had set up an Internet phone account. Two days after the hurricane hit, he found a working socket in the conference room of the hotel where the mayor's inner circle was holed up and managed to patch together eight telephone lines through his laptop computer. "For the next five days," the Wall Street Journal reported, "virtually all communications out of New Orleans by the city's top officials depended on Mr. Domke's laptop and this single Internet phone account."
That was the good news. The bad news is that Nagin and his staff had spent most of the first two days after the storm in a communications black hole. Most landlines and cell phones were down and batteries on backup satellite phones drained quickly. Nagin's team used police radios, but those, too, were spotty.
Communications outages during disasters are all too common. During the blackout in New York, the city's emergency operations center lost telephone service, and cell phones for consumers and government officials alike couldn't handle the overload. Emergency staff in Oakland County, Michigan, relied on ham radio operators to get through the blackout. Want to prepare for a disaster? Try throwing your office phone, pager, BlackBerry, cell phone and computer out the window.
If crisis communications is tricky for managers, it's even harder, and more a matter of life and death, for first responders. On 9/11, incompatible radio equipment left police officers unable to communicate with fire and rescue workers. The same was true in the San Diego County wildfires in 2003. Municipal and county rescue agencies couldn't communicate with state forestry workers--their radios didn't work together. Even fire fighters had difficulty communicating with each other, as departments from different jurisdictions called to the scene used separate radio systems.
These problems have received much attention in recent years. Yet interoperability remains an elusive goal. Some blame Congress for failing to allocate underutilized radio spectrum to first responders. Others blame the local agencies, many of which want to keep their familiar technology; no one wants to be the one to have to buy new equipment.
In 1995, when summer temperatures in Chicago peaked at 106 degrees, thousands of elderly and infirm residents stayed in their hot apartments without air conditioning. The images that initially appeared on TV and in newspapers, however, were of children playing in water spewing from fire hydrants. Local and federal officials responded by cracking down on the kids. Meanwhile, more than 700 adult Chicagoans quietly died, off camera.
In the era of 24-hour cable news, any big disaster, and even a small one, is likely to receive intense media coverage. Managing the swarms of reporters is like hosting the Michael Jackson trial in the local courthouse while simultaneously handling a human crisis. To be sure, media attention can help get important information out to the public. But the media can also hinder officials by setting an agenda driven by powerful images. Consider the dilemma of New Orleans police after Katrina. On the one hand, they needed to rescue citizens trapped on rooftops. On the other, they were pressured by televised images to stop looters.
"Local media play an enormously important role in disaster preparation and response," says Eric Klinenberg, a New York University professor whose 2002 book, "Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago," was critical of that city's response to the heat emergency. None of the local media outlets took the approaching heat wave seriously, and Klinenberg believes that this impeded officials' response. "A city can work with local media to prepare them for these kinds of events," he says.
In general, it's a good idea to have someone in charge of handling reporters. At bare minimum, someone needs to answer the phones (if the phones are working, of course). That was a problem in Seattle after the Nisqually earthquake in 2001. Part of the city's emergency response involved installing a public information officer who handled media calls. Because damage from the earthquake was limited, Seattle scaled back much of its emergency response efforts--including the public information unit--24 hours after the initial quake. Media calls, however, continued for several days.
Sometimes, the media literally get in the way. That was the case in Grand Forks. Efforts to douse the downtown fires from the air had to be halted because there were too many media helicopters hovering over the scene.
The media is an invaluable tool for alerting citizens of an impending crisis or informing them about such things as evacuation routes or safe shelters. But the foremost concern is putting out a consistent message.
Inconsistency among officials' statements became a devastating complication during the Chicago heat wave. As bodies piled up in the Cook County medical examiner's office, the chief examiner began telling officials and the media that the city was experiencing a heat emergency. But Mayor Daley publicly questioned the medical examiner's statements and accused him of fanning the flames of crisis. "It's very hot," Daley said in a press conference during the heat wave. "But let's not blow it out of proportion."
The inconsistent message--which played out in the media over several days--confused residents and exacerbated the heat wave's effects. "Because the mayor's office refused to acknowledge the disaster," Klinenberg says, "none of the city's agencies responded. All the city needed to do was to treat this like an emergency."
Relying on traditional forms of media can constrain officials' efforts to communicate with the public. That's certainly a lesson learned by leaders in San Diego in 2003, when wildfires tore through residential areas of the city. Officials there debated whether to initiate the city's emergency alert system, which would flash warnings on television about the fires to city residents. But the system had a serious time constraint: An alert message could be no longer than 90 seconds. Because of that limited capacity to provide information, officials were afraid that an alert might actually exacerbate the crisis, and residents trying to flee one fire might end up driving toward another one.
New technologies make it easier to avoid such problems. During the 2003 blackout, Wayne County, Michigan, used its "first-call" system, also known as "reverse 9-1-1." The program automatically dialed 320 homes a minute with instructions on where to find bottled water and cooling stations. New York City is devising a system for emergencies that would text-message critical instructions directly to people's cell phones.
Grand Forks is used to floods. When the snow melts each spring, conversations turn to how high the Red River will go. "People have had flood parties here," says Deputy Fire Chief Mike Flermoen. "They think it's not going to be that bad. Or they live on the fourth floor, so they figure the water won't ever get to them."
But 1997 was different. The waters were rising so high, so fast, that Mayor Pat Owens made her citywide evacuation order mandatory. Most residents took it seriously and left. But 150 people stayed downtown in buildings that later caught fire. "They were putting the lives of our first responders in danger," says Owens, who is now retired. "And we didn't know if we could get in to save them."
The situation was much worse in New Orleans, of course, where an estimated 100,000 people stayed despite Mayor Ray Nagin's mandatory evacuation order. After the storm, much was said about how many of the city's poor didn't own cars. But that was only part of the problem. On September 16, the Washington Post published a poll of New Orleans evacuees sheltering in Houston. More than half said that they could have found a way out of town before the storm hit. The largest number of people who stayed behind said they didn't think Katrina would be as bad as it was. Many others said they worried about their property, were physically unable to leave or had to care for someone who was unable to leave.
Dr. Roz Lasker, a researcher at the New York Academy of Medicine, doesn't find any of this surprising. Lasker recently led a yearlong study of how people might react to two kinds of terrorist attacks: a smallpox outbreak and a dirty-bomb explosion. What she found was that in both circumstances, massive numbers of citizens would likely ignore official instructions on what to do.
In the case of smallpox, emergency plans envision the public reporting to schools or clinics to get vaccinated. Lasker found that 57 percent of the public would not automatically follow that order, either because they don't trust the government, don't think smallpox is a big deal, or worry that the vaccine might make them sick. In the dirty-bomb scenario, plans typically call for people to "shelter-in- place" because staying indoors provides protection from contaminated dust and radiation. Yet Lasker found that only 59 percent of the public would stay inside for as long as they were told to. Many would leave to pick up their kids at school or to take care of other family members.
As Lasker sees it, the weak link in emergency planning is that the planners don't solicit much feedback from the public. Plans tend to envision how the public SHOULD respond, not how people are LIKELY to respond in the moment. "Planning and policy making has become professionalized and technical," Lasker says. "What's missing is the experiential knowledge of regular people."
In addition to considering the public's response, officials need to think about the emergency plans of businesses, nonprofits and regional entities. One water district in King County, Washington, for example, has plans to shut off the water system in case of an earthquake. That's something fire departments in the area should know about. Before the 2001 quake, there was little coordination between public officials and non-governmental groups, but the county has been trying to rectify that.
During the Chicago heat wave, hospital after hospital reached capacity. Almost half the city's emergency rooms went on "bypass" status, meaning paramedics had to drive victims to a different facility. At the time, Chicago officials had no system for monitoring emergency room intake throughout the city. "If they'd been able to see what was going on in the emergency rooms," says Eric Klinenberg, "they could have seen the extent of the heat emergency."
In the wake of a disaster, it's essential that officials have the ability to know what's going on at area hospitals. Emergency room coordination is crucial to ensuring that victims receive immediate care. In the Seattle area during the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, a hospital capacity Web site served as a valuable tool for emergency responders looking for available emergency rooms. But the site wasn't always accessible, and it offered inadequate information about the types of injuries and patients being admitted. Public health officials were able to tell which hospitals were full, but they couldn't rely on the Web site to determine how many people were affected by the quake. Instead, they resorted to calling each facility individually.
Were a wide-scale bioterror attack to occur, or a severe flu pandemic, the problems Chicago and Seattle faced would be multiplied by a hundred. In June, the Trust for America's Health issued a report on readiness for an outbreak of a deadly new strain of influenza. Pandemics occurred in 1918, 1957 and 1968, and public health officials are increasingly concerned that the next one may be on its way. The Trust predicted that a severe pandemic would kill 540,000 Americans and hospitalize 2.4 million. To put that in perspective, there are fewer than a million beds in U.S. hospitals.
Contingencies for "surge capacity" are a common feature of pandemic plans in all 50 states. But a lot of this planning exists on paper only. "A lot of plans will say that at some point we should do an inventory of nursing homes or hotels that could be commandeered," says Shelly Hearne, the Trust's executive director. "But show me a state that has taken the next step and signed memorandums of understanding so that those hotels know there's an agreement on this. I don't know how many state health officers actually know where their potential morgues will be when they suddenly have thousands of bodies stacking up."
When the 2003 blackout hit, it wasn't just the lights that went out. In Cleveland, all four of the city's water plants went down, knocking out water service to about half of the 1.5 million people they serve. Power came back in about 12 hours, but it was another day before it was safe for Clevelanders to drink their water without boiling it. Cleveland's three sewage treatment plants also conked out, forcing more than 60 million gallons of partially-treated sewage to spill into Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River. "We did have a plan for a blackout," says Tim Tigue, director of operations and maintenance for the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. "But we never thought of the whole grid going down."
It is challenging enough in any disaster to contend with rising water, powerful winds or shaking earth, but it's the secondary impacts that can plunge a controllable situation into chaos. That was clear with Katrina, when civil unrest, fires and the lack of power, communications, water and sewer service turned a bad situation into a humanitarian disaster.
Fires in particular are a concern. In the first 24 hours after the blackout in New York City, six times as many blazes broke out as usual--because of people burning candles in their homes. In Grand Forks, floodwaters coming in contact with electric panels sparked the downtown inferno. "It surprised us," says Peter O'Neill, the fire chief. "We put all our efforts into the flood. We frankly didn't think much about fire."
The fire fighters eventually improvised a way to put two engines atop flatbed trucks and then pump the frigid river water to douse the flames. Woes continued, however, even after the big fire went out. Four houses caught fire the next day, forcing city officials to make a devil's bargain by cutting power to the whole city. "When you shut down electricity during a flood, you're essentially giving up on homes where the sump pumps are still working," O'Neill says. That's a tough choice to make, says the chief, but "in hindsight, we'd make that call earlier."
In the summer of 1995, as temperatures in the Midwest sweltered at lethal levels, the city of Chicago had a heat emergency plan on the books. The problem? "They had forgotten about it," says author Eric Klinenberg. "Literally, no one remembered that they had a plan. So during this incredible disaster, the city didn't follow its own plan." Moreover, it had been a very long time since officials had updated the plan.
The key to disaster preparedness, officials say, is to think of a response plan as a living document that's constantly revised. Cities across the country took their plans off the shelf after September 11 and added terrorism annexes. Now, after Hurricane Katrina, cities are again dusting off their plans and looking at natural disasters.
But no amount of planning or updating can prepare officials for every possible emergency event. That's why Harvard Professor Dutch Leonard says he worries that politicians and emergency planners typically learn the wrong types of lessons after disasters. They tend to focus on specific problems--say, Houston's evacuation traffic jam before Hurricane Rita--and think narrowly about how to address them. "We shouldn't imagine that we can figure it all out ahead of time," Leonard says. What's more important, as Leonard sees it, is for state and local officials to learn how to improvise. That requires a broader level of thinking about how to manage crises. It also suggests that there be clear lines of authority and sharing of information among decision makers. "If all they're prepared to do is address the scenarios they've thought of, and they don't prepare to improvise, then they'll be caught flat-footed by the next major disturbance," Leonard says.
Clearly, anticipating specific disasters is important. Emergency planners certainly should consider the multitude of possible crises they may face. And the experiences of other cities in other crises-- from New York to San Diego, from Seattle to the Gulf Coast--can provide valuable lessons. But the most important lesson for emergency planners can't be learned from any specific event. Officials need to develop workable response structures that are comprehensive enough to handle specific crises but nimble enough to allow them to respond to all types of disasters. That way, the next time the power goes out or fires go on a rampage or the levees break, they'll be ready.

Received a call and the caller id only showed the number as 63660. A man with a thick East-Indian accent tells me that because I have paid my taxes and bills on time, don't have a criminal background, and haven't filed for bankruptcy that I qualify for an $8,000 personal grant.
He says that all I need to do is give him my debit/credit card information and they will deposit the money. I told him that I don't feel comfortable with this so he provided a website that he wanted me to go to immediately.
I told him that I needed time to look it over and make my decision because I am uneasy about giving out any of my personal information. He asked if he could call me back in 2 minutes. I told him that I needed more time than that and asked that he call back later tonight.

Chow Chow Health Problems and Raising a Chow Chow Puppy to be Healthy
By Michele Welton. Copyright © 2000-2016
Quiz – How Long Will Your Dog Live?
How To Raise a Healthy Dog
Feeding the Best Dog Food
Feeding the 2nd Best Dog Food
Vaccinations: Needed or Not?
Are You Sure Your Vet Is Good?
The most common health problems in Chow Chows:
This breed is an orthopedic nightmare – and their eyes and skin aren't much better.
- The Orthopedic Foundation of America evaluated the hip X-rays of 4600 Chow Chows and found 20% dysplastic. That's very high for a medium-sized dog, and the true rate is even higher because most of the obviously bad X-rays were not sent in for official evaluation. Ignore anyone who tells you that a Chow's hips are "normal for the breed". Unhealthy hips are unhealthy hips. Dysplastic hips are deformed and lead to arthritis later in life.
- Elbows are even worse – with nearly 400 elbow X-rays submitted, the Chow has a 46% rate of elbow dysplasia – the WORST rate of 82 breeds. And again, the true rate is even higher.
- Chows have a 30% rate of luxating patella (loose knees) – the 2nd worst rate of 57 breeds.
- Cruciate ligament rupture occurs regularly in Chow Chows, because of the tight ligaments in their very straight hind legs. In this breed, sometimes all it takes is an awkward run up the stairs to tear their ligament.
The deep-set eyes with their loose eyelids are prone to eye diseases, especially entropion (rolled-in eyelids), but also ectropion (rolled-OUT eyelids), cataracts, corneal dystrophy, glaucoma, persistent pupillary membranes (which can severely impair vision in this breed), retinal dysplasia, eyelash abnormalities, and occasionally progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).
Their soft palate (the flap of skin across the back of the throat that prevents food and water from entering the windpipe) is often fleshy and elongated and tends to fall loosely into the throat. This causes noisy breathing and chronic snoring and makes it tricky to anesthetize this breed safely.
The thick coat and skin folds are prone to chronic skin diseases: allergies, bacterial skin infections (pyoderma), demodectic mange, follicular dysplasia, pemphigus, and in blue Chows, color dilution alopecia.
As with all deep-chested breeds, Chow Chows are at higher-than-normal risk for the emergency gastrointestinal syndrome called bloat.
According to the Michigan State University Thyroid Database, up to 14% of Chow Chows have hypothyroidism.
Other health issues that occur regularly in Chow Chows are colitis and hernias.
This is a cold-climate breed. With their thick coat and difficulty breathing, Chows suffer in hot climates. To prevent heatstroke, summer exercise should be limited to morning and evening.
Can you prevent health problems from happening to YOUR Chow Chow?
Yes, often you can.
- Some health problems are genetic, which means inherited from parents. Genetic health issues are common in Chow Chows today because of unwise breeding practices. My book, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, shows you how to find a Chow Chow puppy who is genetically healthy.
- Other health problems are environmental – caused by the way you raise your dog. My best-selling dog health book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy shows you how to prevent environmental health problems by raising your Chow Chow puppy (or adult dog) in all the right ways.
Here are my dog health tips for raising a healthy Chow Chow puppy or adult dog:
How Long Will Your Dog Live? – Take This Quiz!
Based on your dog's breed and how you're raising him, this personalized quiz will help you understand how long your dog might live – and most importantly, how you can increase his life expectancy.
Dog Health Care – The Sensible Way
Read my advice on daily health care so your Chow Chow lives a long, healthy life and seldom needs to see the vet.
The Best Dog Food For Feeding Your Chow Chow
The best diet for feeding your Chow Chow is real food. Real chicken, turkey, beef, bison, venison, fish....This is not "people food" and I'll tell you why.
The Second-Best Dog Food For Your Chow Chow
If you can't feed homemade dog food, here are your next-best choices.
Vaccinations and Booster Shots: Needed or Not?
How many vaccinations does your Chow Chow puppy really need? Does your adult Chow need yearly booster shots? The vaccination guidelines have changed. Find out what many vets aren't telling you.

Michael "The Count" Bisping will face off with his opposing Ultimate Fighter coach, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, this Saturday night, Dec. 3, at the TUF 14 Finale which will air LIVE on Spike TV at 9 p.m. ET. In the following video Bisping talks with Fight Hub TV's Marcos Villegas about the style match-up between himself and Miller, how he thinks he will win and how far away he feels he is from a shot at the UFC middleweight title. Bisping also explains why he does not think Chael Sonnen deserves the next shot at the 185 title.

Heading into the 2014 Bell Aliant peewee AAA Atlantic Championship in Fredericton, New Brunswick March 27-30 the Tri Pen Ice sit in the dark.
There is a sense of the unknown as the team heads into a tournament that will feature some of the finest peewee-aged talent in the Atlantic provinces.
"We have no idea," said coach Nelson Bennett of what to expect.
That meaning the team has very little knowledge of its opponents it will face at the Atlantic championships.
"I haven't even had time to track down anyone who could fill me in," noted Bennett.
The Ice punched its ticket to the championship after a 5-2 victory over the St. John's Ruckus on Feb. 16.
For Bennett and his team this feeling of walking into an unusual situation is a number of things.
"It's exciting and nervous at the same time," he said.
With that said, the Ice coaching staff has the utmost confidence in the abilities of their players.
The team features the best peewee players from associations in Clarenville to Conception Bay North. This includes the only female playing at the AAA level Shailynn Snow, Reilly Mayne, Luke Akerman, Kyle Petten, Dawson Mercer and Ethan Pollett, amongst others.
"I'd be shocked if there is anything better than what we can throw at people," said Bennett. "I really think we'll compete. I do.
"We have an amazing group."
A big part
Perhaps the biggest storyline of the tournament was the return of assistant captain Ethan Crosbie to the lineup for the final two games of the tournament.
Crosbie had been off due to injury for the beginning of play.
"He gives us such a presence," said Bennett.
Crosbie has a knack for chipping in offensively, but really shines at the defensive end. He plays in all situations, takes big faceoffs and shuts down the opposition's top line.
"He completes our lineup," said Bennett.
What they do well
While the team is going to look to shore things up in the defensive end in the month before the tournament, Bennett said the team does one thing extremely well.
"Transitioning from defence to offense, we're good," he said.
The Ice pride themselves on turning teams over at its blue-line, transitioning and attacking.
"We don't like to give up our blue-line and our transition from defence to offense is lightning quick," said Bennett.
What makes that transition so dangerous, is that each line is capable of making teams pay if they turn the puck over.
"It doesn't matter which line because we have so much speed," said Bennett.
The tournament
The Ice started the tournament with a 9-3 victory over the representatives from Western. That was followed by an 8-0 drubbing over Central IcePak.
In Game 3, the Ice picked up its second straight shutout with a 10-0 destruction of the Northern squad.
The Ice were finally tested in the round robin matchup with the Ruckus. The St. John's team defeated Tri Pen 6-5 to set up the dramatic final.
"We had a bad turnover," said Bennett.
That game was followed by a 7-2 victory over the Tri Com Cobras.
The championship
The Ice jumped on the Ruckus quickly. The team registered two quick goals to take a 2-0 advantage.
"It started to go our way at 2-0, you could just feel it," said Bennett.
However, the Ruckus had previously came back from a 3-1 deficit in the round robin to beat the Ice.
"You didn't feel safe at all," said the coach.
Although this time, the script would be different.
Tri Pen grabbed a four-goal advantage before St. John's put one behind the Ice goaltender.
"We felt like we were well in control then," said Bennett.
The Ruckus would make the score 4-2 with just over six minutes to go in the third, but the Ice would add an empty net goal to seal the victory.
"It was a good game of hockey," said Bennett.
Members of the team are: Tyler Dohey, Kyle Petten, Dawson Mercer, Ethan Crosbie, Luke Akerman, Shailynn Snow, Riley Mayne, Ethan Pollett, Lucas Adams, Micheal Ingram, Riley Petten, Caleb Andrews, Mark Davis, Dawson Laundry, Taran Leonard, Tyler Green, Lucas Russell, Liam Best and Cole Mackey.

Always secretly pilfering your significant other's high-end shampoo in the shower? You know who you are. It's about time you invested in a shampoo of your own that is worth stealing. This men-specific Kerastase formula protects against environmental damage and thinning hair—plus it's got peppermint extract to leave your scalp refreshed and lightly tingly.
Disclaimer: I'm not a crazy shampoo guy, I've got a lot of hair and it's fairly easy to maintain. With that said, this shampoo seems like it's got something unique about it because it left my hair noticeably softer. It was clear out of the package with a pleasant scent (not too overgearing) and lathered easily. Aside from that, it worked like shampoo. Would I switch to it? Not necessarily...but not because I didn't like it...but because I'm happy w/the current shampoo I use.4
Kérastase's products rock! This shampoo, in a long line of other hair products from Kérastase, provides a deep clean for the scalp that clears away all residue from hair products. A moderate rinse and this shampoo leaves your hair stronger. I've used this for the last two months and I'm quite satisfied with the results.4
Thanks buyers at Birchbox, I didn't know this existed. I've tried 2 other Kerastase shampoos, both of which didn't have the volumizing ability of this.
There is *something* about high-quality stuff that gives me a little upper. Yes, this shampoo is pricey, but as they say "yur worth it"! You can feel right away this isn't some cheapo product.

South San Luis Obispo County, CA
Beachgoer oenophiles will want to hit up this scenic region 90 miles north of Santa Barbara in Arroyo Grande and Edna Valleys. Beautifully balanced Chardonnays are the big draw, but then there are the Spanish and Rhône varietals, followed by oyster slurping on the coast. Favorite spots to sip include Baileyana (pictured; includes Tangent, Trenza, and Zocker), Chamisal, Claiborne & Churchill, Talley, and Wolff. For a natural diversion, go wildflower-watching at the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes in April (dunescenter.org). The Casitas of Arroyo Grande B&B, with fireplaces and a 25-meter swimming pool, make for a great stay (from $199; casitasag.com).

Sharing 3G/4G Connectivity has never been easy.
Cheapest 3G/4G Router In town, but functionality is unimaginable, Comes with Warranty!
Supports Cell C 4G, Even 21 Mbps Modems tried and tested
Supports a wide range of UMTS/HSPA/EVDO Modems Tested On the Field!!
Also Usable as a normal Ethernet/Cable Modem Router for WAN Failover
**********ICASA Approved***********
What This Product Does
Share the freedom of 3G! The TL-MR3420 3G/ 3.75G Wireless N Router allows users to share a 3G/ 3.75G mobile broadband connection with family and friends on the train, while camping, at the hotel, nearly anywhere within 3G/ 3.75G coverage. By connecting a UMTS/HSPA/EVDO USB modem to the router, a Wi-Fi hotspot is instantly established.
Tests in the Field-High Compatibility
Compatibility is the most important aspect to consider when you're selecting a 3G router. To ensure the best compatibility between our routers and the modem you would use with the router, TP-LINK has made certain that our 3G Routers are compatible with the ISPs in the regions in which they are sold. We have teams around the globe continually testing our Routers with newly emerged modems to ensure that end users can feel confident that their routers will operate flawlessly where they live and work.
Comprehensive 3G/ WAN Back-up Strategy
The TL-MR3420 stands out with its 3G/ WAN connection back-up, which keeps users online when one connection fails. TP-LINK's 3G Router provides users with both 3G Preferred and WAN Preferred back-up modes, while other brands provide one or the other. This brings users a high degree of flexibility when users are setting up the networks with considering connection costs and length of downtime.
Wireless N Speed & Range
Complying with the IEEE 802.11n standard, the TL-MR3420 can establish a wireless network with transmission speeds of up to 300Mbps, while mitigating data loss over long distances and through obstacles in a small office or a large apartment, even in a steel-and-concrete building. Above all, users can easily pick up their wireless network's signal at longer distances from the router, where with legacy 11g products they would have to be much closer.
WPA / WPA2 Encryptions -Advanced Security
In order to safeguard user's Wi-Fi networks, WEP encryption is no longer strong enough. The TL-MR3420 provides WPA/WPA2 encryptions (Both Personal and Enterprise),created by the WI-FI Alliance, promoting interpretabilities and security for WLAN, to protect against almost any threat that the Internet or intruders may harbor.
NB: To my valued customers, please note that there is no delivery on Saturdays due to religious reasons. Communication is also limited during this day. Otherwise you will receive all your feedback early Saturday evening and courier or personal pickup can be arranged starting Sunday. We sincerely regret any inconveniences this may cause.

Australian Story
Desperate Remedies - Transcript
PROGRAM TRANSCRIPT: Monday, 4 July , 2011
CAROLINE JONES, PRESENTER: Hello I'm Caroline Jones. Tonight the story of Penelope Dingle and a tragic untimely death that rebounded on those closest to her in unpredictable ways. Mrs Dingle was a former model and actor married to a TV science guru. At the age of 43 she was diagnosed with a common cancer, yet in baffling circumstances she turned her back on conventional medicine, with far reaching consequences for almost everyone concerned. This is her story.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: Its really hard to describe Penelope because she was an amazing person. She was very artistic, very creative. She was like a delicate flower really that had opened up and this world, it was sometimes a little, it jarred on her at times, she felt the pain of the world.
CLAIRE KROL, JOURNALIST: She was quite an intelligent, switched on, educated woman and if this could happen to her, it was terrifying to think this could happen to anyone.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: Its not as if someone simply developed cancer and then died. Theres a whole different story around this and we cant just leave it as it is, there has to be some investigation of what happened.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: This was not about Penelope Brown. It was about destroying Peter Dingle. But Im not the culprit. I was Pens best friend.
(Excerpt from Channel Nine interview)
REPORTER: Of course, the allegation Peter is that you killed your wife. Did you kill your wife?
(End of excerpt)
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: When I first met Pen she was a very arty-type person, very creative and loved being in the limelight. She was an actress, you know, and she just loved standing up in front of people and playing the fool and mucking around.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: She had small parts in a number of different films. And then later it was really creative writing that she focussed on.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: She was an environmentalist, she really strongly felt about the environment. And she had really strong values and she lived those values. Peter was an environmental toxicologist at Murdoch University and he was giving a talk on pesticides and poisons in the environment at an organic growers meeting when Penelope first met him, and she was very taken with him. He was talking her lingo. And I think for Peter too, yeah, I think you know, there was quite a strong and immediate attraction between them.
SUE MCBURNIE, FRIEND: She was very much into magic realism. Whereas Pete was more the grounded, so the balance was there between the two of them, I think. Yeah they were great dreamers.
KEITH MCBURNIE, FRIEND: They were always dreaming.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: She idolised him. I mean, he was her hero so that counted for a lot to us. So Peter became a part of the family, and you know he wanted to be part of the family I think.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: At the end of my honours my supervisor and my mentor said, look you know you need to get this stuff into the media. I got the opportunity to talk about some of my research because it was very topical. I also started writing some booklets on sick homes and toxic chemicals in and around the home. And I was passionate about the whole concept of looking at health from a holistic perspective, so I created what's called the deal, the Dingle Deal. Which stands for diet, environment, attitude, lifestyle.
VERITY JAMES, FORMER BROADCASTER: Hes good talent, as they say, because he can come up with the goods, because hes articulate and because hes passionate and interesting.
(Excerpt from Radio Fremantle 107.9 interview, May 2003):
PETER DINGLE: Your doctor will send you for chemo, radio and surgery. Now I can say they overwhelmingly dont work because the science shows that.
(End of excerpt)
VERITY JAMES, FORMER BROADCASTER: He was also proactive it has to be said, in offering himself for stories and I know that that happened on a number of occasions but thats also due to his passion for the cause as well.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: Penelope admired Peter tremendously. She was really quite in awe of Peter and she really wanted to help his career and support his career.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: And then I got to a stage where I was thinking, hold on, my careers on path now. I know where Im going. Im an academic at Murdoch University. Im getting a little bit of public recognition now. Im doing a little bit of speaking and things are going well. Lets have our children.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: This was the very first time that she actually mentioned Francine Scrayen when she was talking about the fact that they were looking at having children, but having some difficulties.
EXCERPT FROM PENELOPE DINGLE'S DIARY: Twelfth of July - Francine. Notes regarding homeopathic effects.
CHARMAINE BROWN, FORMER SISTER-IN-LAW: When Pen told me she was seeing Francine, I was a bit surprised at first and I thought well she wouldnt have been my choice of a homeopath 'cause I was studying it at the time. And I hadnt seen her myself but some of the other students found her quite severe and rigorous and authoritarian. And I just thought well, I dont think she would suit me, but maybe she suited Pen.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: It was during 2001 that Penelope first developed symptoms of rectal bleeding. Those symptoms began to increase and were accompanied by changes in bowel movements, changes in developing pain, more frequent and severe episodes of pain, and also increased bleeding. Francine continued to monitor those changes and its not until December 2002 that she actually suggests to Penelope that she should go and see a medical practitioner. We knew nothing about this at the time. As far as we knew, Penelope was seeing Francine still for these fertility issues.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: In February 2003 I got a call from a nurse and they said, Penelopes just had an investigation and shed just like you to come in. I had no idea, I had no idea anything was wrong. I got down there and there was a nurse there that I knew. She was talking about that Pen had rectal cancer. Clearly I knew it was a life-threatening illness and that, you know, it had the potential to kill my best friend and my partner, my lover. What amazed me most was Pen was sitting there extremely calmly and she was relaxed and I was nervous and tense and thinking, you know, trying to think ahead, what do we do and how do we deal with this.
EXCERPT FROM PENELOPE DINGLE'S DIARY: February 25, 2003 - Thank you Heavenly Father for this health challenge.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: Almost instinctually I did a couple of active meditations with Pen where she was just laying on the bed and we just talked about it, and I calmly talked through the process and said, your bodys feeling healthy. And I started getting some literature and information about what we can do from a lifestyle perspective to help along the process. It was basically, lets look at some nutrition, make sure shes on a good diet and we lined up to go see the specialist.
PROF. CAMERON PLATELL, COLORECTAL SURGEON: With rectal cancer, if youve got a stage 1 cancer youve got a better than 95 per cent cure rate. Penelope had quite advanced disease but still she had a chance of being cured. This would involve Penelope having some radiation treatment, in addition to some chemotherapy and then followed by having pretty major surgery to remove the cancer. I would typically get a person back the next week, talk to them again and thats when we sort of started running into trouble because Penelope did want to come back to that first appointment, and it was like she just disappeared.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: I took Penelope to about seven or so different, other doctors and all of them urged Pen to have surgery and they also offered some nutritional support and alternative cancer therapy as well. Penelope was adamant she was not going to have chemo and radio and I didnt like the idea of chemo or radio either. From what I had read, what I could understand it had an extremely low success rate.
SUE MCBURNIE, FRIEND: He was actively searching for cures on-line. He was definitely looking at alternative options, looking at research on cancer treatments.
EXCERPT FROM PENELOPE DINGLE'S DIARY: March 29, 2003 - Francine has a very strong intuitive urge that Peter has very important contribution to make to cancer cure. The challenge I have is not coincidental to Petes journey.
PROF. CAMERON PLATELL, COLORECTAL SURGEON: I tried to organise repeated outpatient appointments for her but she just wouldnt attend. We tried ringing her but we got no response. And then I did have a telephone conversation with her and she made it pretty obvious to me that she appreciated what Id done but dont harass her anymore, that she really wanted to try this other treatment and could I respect that. Penelope was embarking on a journey and I dont think she knew where she was going. The problem for me was that I sort of knew where she was going and I sort of knew how it was going to end up. And to me that was just really sad and it seemed such a waste.
EXCERPT FROM PENELOPE DINGLE'S DIARY: May 7, 2003 - Its a challenge of faith to be told youll die if you dont have an operation and you know you wont have one.
SUE MCBURNIE, FRIEND: What happened with the surgery? It just got dropped and that only happened once she went in, as far as I could see, once she made the commitment to homeopathy.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: Pen was adamant while she was having the homeopathic treatment that you had to believe in it 100 per cent for it to work and no-one around her was allowed to believe otherwise. Right from the beginning of our relationship we had this issue of trust. Pen said that if were going to have a relationship we have to have utter and absolute trust and faith in one another. And she came from some very broken relationships and she had some very problematic issues with her upbringing. So to go against Penelopes trust was going against the most fundamental principle of our relationship. Penelope very clearly stated on many, many accounts not to tell the family. She was worried that theyd interject in her treatment, come and do something. She was fearful of her family, in a sense of the bossiness of one or two of the sisters and she didnt want their negativeness. I do remember one incident where we were up visiting the family and Pen was beginning to show some signs. She couldnt sit properly on a cushion, you know, it was very obvious something was wrong.
CHARMAINE BROWN, FORMER SISTER-IN-LAW: Peter and I were sitting outside or separate from the group and I looked across at Peter and he was looking terrible - I mean wed had a hard day - and I just said, Pete, whats wrong? And he burst out crying and I was shocked because Id never seen Pete like that. He was always enthusiastic, positive, in control. And he goes, Im so worried about Pen, she is so sick and she wont tell her family.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: Penelope was already on quite a strict diet. I think we were told that Penelope had ulcerative colitis.
NATALIE BROWN, SISTER: And I did ask her outright if she had cancer, you know, what was wrong and she said, oh, no, no, and I got the story that it was, you know, a bowel issue and I didnt press it.
EXCERPT FROM PENELOPE DINGLE'S DIARY: July 1, 2003 - There are thoughts floating, fear rising for the first time that I will die. Francine says dont entertain the thought. Do not choose it.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: Pete rang me up to say, look Annie, I just need to tell you that Pen, weve been talking about this condition but in fact it is cancer. Its rectal cancer. I just remember being really shocked and then saying, so this is what shes had all along?
TONI BROWN, SISTER: I was just totally floored. In fact my immediate reaction was to be really angry as well as shock. I just couldnt understand why thered been this deception going on. Penelope reassured me that she was going on a homeopathic path to treat the disease. And ones immediate reaction is, well this actually doesnt sound very sensible way to go.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: I know when they started the treatment they were fearful of Toni coming in with negativity, because I think Toni would have smelled the rat. The sense was right from the very first phone call, youre either with us or youre against us. You werent allowed in unless you became a believer.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: Peter actually became the gatekeeper in that situation, in that it was Peter who seemed to be the one who was more in control of who was welcome and who wasnt welcome. Which meant that you went in, did a bit of house cleaning and you didnt ask any difficult questions.
NATALIE BROWN, SISTER: As I was leaving one day she said, oh do you think Im getting better? And I said, no I dont. We were standing in the hallway and I said, no I dont think youre getting better. And she said, oh, you mustnt say that, you mustn't say that. You wont be allowed to come back.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: He was completely convinced in his program, methodology - the exercise, the positive thinking, the life- the diet and the supplements - thats what was going to really work, yep.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: I remember very early on asking Pen if she was having any monitoring of the disease but Pen told me quite firmly that, no, monitoring could affect her positive frame of mind so monitoring was not an option. And she had made it very clear that it was entirely in Francines hands.
EXCERPT FROM PENELOPE DINGLE'S DIARY: July 1, 2003 - The pain you have is karmic, it is teaching you.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: You felt really helpless because she wasnt taking pain relief because that would interfere with her homeopathic remedies.
EXCERPT FROM PENELOPE DINGLE'S DIARY: What you are going through will benefit others. It is not for your sake alone. It will be meaningful to others.
ANNEMARIE MALCOLM, SISTER: She had a sort of bed on the floor because it was very hard for her to get comfortable with the amount of pain that she was experiencing. She would vocalise it, like really big yells, you know, lots of noise, a bit like a woman in labour maybe. Shed lie on her back and cycle her legs and groan and really push out a lot of noise because thats how she sort of handled it. But other times shed just scream. This time I could see it was too much and she had to ring Francine right there and then. I only heard that end of the conversation and her words were, but it really, it feels like real pain and its too much, I cant do this. I said, Pen, youre in extreme pain. I said, you cant have someone tell you that this is not real, that your pain is not real. And then she started to defend what Francine's, you know, what Francine was saying and her method of dealing with it. She said Francine has just told me that I am turning the corner and the cure is nearly there. I said, Peter these levels of pain that Pens experiencing - I mean I couldnt just speak to Pen I had to speak to Pete as well 'cause they were in this together - and he was in a sense disapproving that I had brought this up and you know, dont go there Annie 'cause you dont really understand, was the sort of the sense that I had.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: And I think this is one of the most confusing factors in there, was Peter's lack of concern at what was happening right in front of his eyes. And by that I mean Penelope's weight loss and Penelope's pain. It was if Penelopes pain was actually not even happening.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: Look, there were alarm bells all the time. There were constant alarm bells. You know, when your partners getting sick and you can see it and you can see her suffering and it got to an extreme stage in the suffering and she says, its okay and she says, dont worry about it, its a part of the cure, its supposed to go this way, these are some of the symptoms. As if she had a grander plan that all of a sudden it was all going to be fixed somehow.
KEITH MCBURNIE, FRIEND: He loves Pen so much that he didn't want to be seen to be fighting against her. He didn't want to fight against her, he didn't want to have that kind of negativity. That was one of the detrimental aspects later on, this positivity that was not necessarily based on realism.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: Ive got several friends who are nurses and I said to them, you know, this is the situation. And they without exception said, you know, thats mad, thats crazy. There seemed to be ignorance of how this disease was going to progress if it remained untreated. I told Peter that it would be likely that Penelope would develop a bowel obstruction and would he know how to recognise the signs of that and I got the usual spiel which was, look, you know, Pen, shes doing well, everythings fine and you know, we can cope with the situation.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: I saw the pain, I saw the suffering and it didnt matter which way I turned I was lost in this whole nightmare about what was happening. Its probably whole weeks or months that are blanked out in my mind. You just cant understand it until youre in there, and I cant understand it.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: On Saturday October 11th I went down after work to Penelope and Peters place in Fremantle. It was only six weeks since we had learnt that Pen had cancer. Pen was lying to the left hand side on a mattress and she didnt say anything to me as I went through. And I said to him, Penelopes lost more weight. And he said, well, shes put weight on this week. And I just shook my head and I said, no, she hasnt Peter. Anyway he was very determined that they were going to see the night through on their own and he was quite emphatic that he did not want me to stay. And Ive thought about that evening and thought, well, what if Id just ignored his instruction and gone over to Pen and, you know, ignored his instruction and said, you know, how are you darling? Are you ok? Look Im here to help you and Im here to stay the night. Possibly what would have happened? It might have saved her possibly one absolutely horrific night of the most unimaginable pain. It was probably around about 8.30 in the morning - this was Sunday morning, the 12th of October. Peter rang and said could we come. He was quite desperate and could we come immediately. We rushed in through the front door and Penelope was simply screaming, screaming in agony on the floor and Ive never seen someone in so much pain. And as soon as I went to her she just started begging me not to leave her and um... I knelt down next to her and reassured her that, you know, I was going to stay with her no matter what. I really dont remember much of what Peter was doing at this stage. It was just like he was sort of out of the picture and he had allowed other people to come in and take charge. When we got to the hospital and Pen was admitted to the emergency department and I remembered thinking, you know, her bowel could actually burst at any time. The only reason that she wasn't still screaming in agony was that she'd been loaded up with morphine. The staff were desperately trying to find out if they could get a surgeon to come and do an emergency operation that night and Penelope borrowed Peters mobile and made a phone call to Francine. Immediately after that conversation she said, well Francine has said that she wont be able to continue treating me if I have this operation. And Penelope then started to question as to whether the operation really was necessary. And we were just absolutely dumbstruck, horrified, that the thought could even possibly enter her mind. She was on the doorstep of death.
NATALIE BROWN, SISTER: The most poignant part for me was when the registrar was attending her and changing her drip and giving her some more morphine and she said to him, what will happen if I dont have the surgery? And he described in graphic detail - I was surprised how graphic it was but Im so glad he did - and he said, your bowel is wafer thin, it can go boof at any time and then there isnt any saving you. The faecal matter goes into your abdominal cavity and basically you rapidly get peritonitis and die a very agonising death. And because the faeces doesnt have anywhere to go you also vomit your own faeces while youre in agony. And then he said, and that will be the end of Pen.
SCREEN TEXT: Next week.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: I just broke down and I yelled I was stupid. How could I do this? How could I go along with this craziness?
SUE MCBURNIE, FRIEND: Pen's sisters had a strong determination to get to the bottom of what had happened.
TONI BROWN, SISTER: After Penelopes death, I had a phone call from her close friend Jennifer.
CLAIRE KROL, JOURNALIST: She claimed that Francine Scrayen, Dr Dingle and Penelope had made a pact that when they ultimately cured her cancer that they would then write a book about it and all become famous.
PETER DINGLE, HUSBAND: That one thing had destroyed my reputation. Overnight. Instantly. Within a couple of days I had letters saying wife killer. How dare you.
SUE MCBURNIE, FRIEND: If shed have seen what happened to Pete, she would have been devastated. Because she just really loved him. Right to the end she loved him.

I've been very busy up here recently. Poor Marshmallow wasn't eating so I had to help mommy have the strength to do what was best for her and give her up. I keep an eye on her at her new location though. She's eating cans of baby food and is up to 8 a day. I need to help giver her the strength to eat kitty food and return to the adoption scene. Mommy and Daddy took in a new foster kitty too, her name is Ivy and she's deaf. I whisper kitty secrets into her heart though, she can hear me, she knows her foster family is there for her and will protect her with all their might. I hope she trusts her heart.
Today is also River and Simone's birthday / gotcha day. It's really the day they were adopted but mommy calls it their birthday instead because it feels like they've been together forever then. Their lives started when they met mommy and daddy! I couldn't agree more. Those were some good days. I'm going to fly over and sprinkle some angel dust on the new foster and on River and Simone so their birthday is fantastic. I hope all you earth kitties are behaving yourselves and had a great Halloween. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I hope you all make out your lists of things you are thankful for! I know what's at the top of mine!
I know losing me was really hard on mommy and daddy but I have some good news, they brought a new foster into the house today. You can read about her in Simone's diary. I'm happy for them, they shouldn't stop saving little ones because something bad happened to me. I love them so much, I'm going to watch over this little one with them, she needs a lot of love. Just wanted to let you know the good news kitties. Purr for the new one, she's had a rough life but things are looking up for her now!
Mommy wants to say thank you to everyone who has shown such a beautiful out pour of emotions and love to me and my family during this time. Everyone is starting to feel a little bit better. The pain never goes away but the sting eventually wears off. Mommy knows I'm in a better place now and that I'm free. Being mad won't help her. She's all ready preparing the foster room for a new arrival. She can't replace me but she can make a difference in another kitty's life. I'm glad she's not giving up because of me. The best way to honor my memory is to save another life.
While she was doing so she was thinking of me. I was never suppose to be their foster. Mommy brought Jubilee into the adoption event and never expected him to find a home. There were so many kittens there that day and he had been there for so long, she was certain she'd be taking him home again. Well wouldn't you know it, he got adopted. Less than a few hours after she dropped him off. That afternoon the nice lady who runs the adoption event called mommy and asked her if she could take me home. I was doing really bad in a cage. I was so scared and lonely and they were afraid I'd get sick there. Mommy was going to take some time off but relented and drove out to pick me up. I was a mess. I was shaking and dirty. Being abandoned is hard on a girl. My brother had all ready been put down when we arrived because he had massive brain trauma and I was so scared. Mommy brought me home and into the foster kitty room. Daddy was in the bedroom, he had hurt his back that weekend and wasn't able to get up. Mommy let me out of the cage and picked me up, she carried me into the bedroom so I could meet daddy. He pet my head and smiled at me. These were good people. Then mommy brought me back into the foster kitty room. I was still pretty scared. The room smelled really strange, but it had a big comfy chair in it, my own clean litter box, fresh food and water, cat grass, a big open window with a cat ledge on it, and lots of toys and beds for me to chose from. I decided it would probably be ok here.
I did spend the first day hiding under mommies huge desk. She has a great big desk in there. Mommy lay down on her belly on the floor in front of me and gently pet my head and sang to me the song that is now on my profile page. I slowly came out of my shell. The next morning daddy worked from home because his back was still too sore for him to drive into work. He sat in the big arm chair and I slept by his side all day. I've never been so happy. There's a picture of us on my profile page from that day. I had only known him a day and I was all ready so happy with him.
Mommy knows she will get over the heart ache eventually but she'll never forget me. I wasn't with them very long, but I was very special. Thank you everyone for thinking of me. I love you all so very much.

text: I drove a WRX for the first time just the other day and to be honest i was seriously dissapointed. It was a silver WRX 95k miles and it was a 2002 5spd. THe shifter felt rough and didnt feel smooth what so ever. And it wasnt a good rough. ALso the clutch disengaged pretty much at the very top and it felt really funny making it a very different drive. Also the car wasnt nearly as fast as I had anticipated it would be. Either way could it just have been that specific car? What were your first reactions?
