Claudia Cardinale
Claretta Petacci
"Never felt scandal and confession were necessary to be an actress. I've never revealed myself or even my body in films. Mystery is very important." Claudia Cardinale
Italian Tunisian actress Claudia Cardinale has been in showbiz since the late 1950s. Though her primary language is French, the majority of her films have been either Italian or French. She became known during the 1960s as an iconic sex symbol despite never appeared in a nude or fully topless scene. Cardinale's most memorable performances include "Girl with a Suitcase" (1961), "Bebo's Girl" (1963), "Mafia" (1968), "A Girl in Australia" (1971), "La pelle" (1981), "Claretta Petacci" (1984), "Act of Sorrow" (1990) and "Sinyora Enrica ile Italyan Olmak" (2010). In 1988, she was handed the David di Donatello Alitalia Award. She went on to receive the Career Golden Lion at the 1993 Venice Film Festival, the Career David at the 1997 David di Donatello Awards and the Career Award for Cinema at the 1998 Flaiano International Prize. In addition, she was given the 2000 Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists European Silver Ribbon, for her international success, the Honorary Golden Berlin Bear at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival and the European Actors Award at the 2003 Filmfest Ludwigsburg. She earned the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Transilvania International Film Festival in 2009 and from the Yerevan International Film Festival in 2010.
Cardinale was married to film producer Franco Cristaldi from 1966 until they divorced in 1975. She has one son, Patrizio (aka. Patrick Frank), who was adopted by Cristaldi, and one daughter, Claudia, fathered by her long term companion Pasquale Squitieri.
Cardinale has been UNESCO good will Ambassador for the Defense of Women's Rights since 1999. In 1995, she wrote an autobiography with Anne Mori called "Moi Claudia, Toi Claudia." Her second book, "Mes Etoiles," about her personal and professional relationships with a number of her directors and co-stars through her nearly 50 years in show business, was published in 2005.
Joséphine Rose
Childhood and Family:
Claudia Cardinale was born Claude Joséphine Rose Cardinale on April 15, 1938, in La Goulette, a predominately Italian neighborhood in the Tunisian capital of Tunis. Her father was a Sicilian railway worker, born in Gela. Her mother, Yolande Greco, was born in Tunisia to Sicilian emigrants from Trapani, Italy. Claudia grew up speaking her mom's native language, French, and Tunisian Arabic, and did not learn Italian until she started her acting career. Originally, she was intended to become a teacher, but after winning a 1957 beauty contest as "The Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia," she began landing acting jobs. She was trained at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (Italian National film school).
In 1966, Claudia was married to Italian film producer Franco Cristaldi, but they later divorced in 1975. She has since lived with Pasquale Squitieri, an Italian film director. Claudia has two children: Patrizio (Patrick Frank), who was born out of wedlock to a Frenchman when she was 17 and later adopted by her former husband Franco Cristaldi, and Claudia, whose biological father is Squitieri. Patrizio operates Spanish restaurant El Salon Verde on New York's East Side with Hayne Suthon.
Act of Sorrow
In 1957, 19 year old Claudia Cardinale won the Italian embassy's "Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia" contest. Her prize was a trip to Venice during the Venice Film Festival, in which her natural beauty attracted the attention of the Italian cinematic industry. After the festival, she was offered movie roles, but at first she rejected them and returned to Tunis. She made her feature film acting debut opposite Omar Sharif in "Goha" (1958), a French/Tunisian co-production directed by Jacques Baratier. The film won the Jury Prize and was nominated for Palme d'Or at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival. Following a two month stint at Italian National film school, she signed a seven year contract with the Vides studios, a production company run by producer Franco Cristaldi who, like Cardinale, had been born in Tunis and the two later married.
Cardinale landed a small role as a pure, black clad Sicilian girl, almost held prisoner at home by her overbearing brother on the Italian criminal comedy "Big Deal on Madonna Street" ("I soliti ignoti"), produced by Cristaldi. The film was a major international success, and was nominated for a 1959 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. She soon followed it up with a leading role in the Italian romantic comedy film "Three Strangers in Rome" ("Tre straniere a Roma," 1958), directed by Claudio Gora. She appeared in several films in 1959, such as "Vento del Sud," with Renato Salvatori, "Venetian Honeymoon" "The Facts of Murder" ("Un maledetto imbroglio"), an Italian crime film directed by and starring Pietro Germiand with Cardinale, and "Upstairs and Downstairs," a British comedy/drama film directed by Ralph Thomas.
Cardinale proved herself to be a competent dramatic and comedic actress in a wide variety of films for some of the most noted Italian directors of the 1960s. In "Il bell'Antonio" (1960), a drama helmed by Mauro Bolognini and co-written by Pier Paolo Pasolini, she starred as the wife of Marcello Mastroianni, whose confusion over sex and love made him a famed lover with strangers but impotent with her. She had a minor role as Ginetta in Luchino Visconti's "Rocco and His Brothers" (1960), starring Alain Delon, Renato Salvatori and Annie Girardot, portrayed Pauline Bonaparte in Abel Gance's "Austerlitz" (1960), opposite Pierre Mondy and Martine Carol, appeared with José Suárez and François Périer in Luigi Zampa's "The Magistrate" (1960), starred with Vittorio Gassman and Renato Salvatori in Nanni Loy's "Audace colpo dei soliti ignoti" (1960) and had a leading role in Francesco Maselli's "Silver Spoon Set" (1960).
In 1961, Cardinale offered a sorrowful turn as a naïve nightclub singer who became the romantic obsession of a teenage boy in Valerio Zurlini's "Girl with a Suitcase." The film was nominate for Palme d'Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival, while Cardinale received the Special David at the 1961 David di Donatello Awards for her performance. She continued to appear in many films such as "La viaccia" (1961), "The Lions Are Loose" (1961), "Cartouche" (1962), "Careless" (1962), Federico Fellini's "8 ½" (1963), which won two Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Costume Design (black and white), Luchino Visconti's "The Leopard" (1963) and Luigi Comencini's "Bebo's Girl" (1963), where she won Silver Ribbon for Best Actress at the 1965 Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists for her portrayal of Mara. "8 ½" marked the first time that Cardinale was allowed to dub her own dialogue. Previously her voice was thought to be too throaty and, coupled with her Tunisian accent, was considered unsuitable. She recalled, "I wasn't speaking a word of Italian until I was 18. They had to dub my voice in my first Italian picture!"
Still in 1963, Cardinale made her Hollywood debut in the Blake Edwards comedy film "The Pink Panther," in which she was cast as Princess Dala. Her subsequent American credits were Henry Hathaway's "Circus World" (1964, with John Wayne and Rita Hayworth), Philip Dunne's "Blindfold" (1965, opposite Rock Hudson), Mark Robson's "Lost Command" (1966, opposite Anthony Quinn and Alain Delon), Richard Brooks' "The Professionals" (1966, with Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin), Alexander Mackendrick's "Don't Make Waves" (1967, with Tony Curtis) and Joseph Sargent's "The Hell with Heroes" (1968, with Rod Taylor). She continued to star in Italian movies such as "Time of Indifference" (1964, with Rod Steiger and Shelley Winters), Luchino Visconti's "Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa" ("Sandra," 1965), Franco Rossi's "A Rose for Everyone" (1967), "A Fine Pair" (1968), Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968, with Henry Fonda), "The Conspirators" (1969) and Marcello Fondato's "Certain, Very Certain, As a Matter of Fact... Probable" (1969). In Damiano Damiani's "Mafia" (1968), she won a David di Donatello for Best Actress for her role as Rosa Nicolosi. In 1969, she starred with Sean Connery and Peter Finch in "The Red Tent," a joint Soviet/Italian film directed by Mikhail Kalatozov.
During the 1970s, Cardinale worked almost exclusively in European films, many of which never reached American theaters. In "Bello, onesto, emigrato Australia sposerebbe compaesana illibata" ("A Girl in Australia", 1971), an Italian comedy directed by Luigi Zampa, she picked up a David di Donatello for Best Actress for her performance as Carmela. Her other film credits during this period included "The Adventures of Gerard" (1970), "Frenchie King" (1971), "Scoumoune" (1972), "Days of Fury" (1973, with Oliver Reed), "I guappi" (1974), "The Immortal Bachelor" (1975), "Blonde in Black Leather" (1975), "Il comune senso del pudore" (1976), " Il prefetto di ferro" (1977), "Corleone" (1978), "Little Girl in Blue Velvet" (1978) and "Escape to Athena" (1979). In 1977, Cardinale appeared on American television in an episode of the NBC miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth," where she appeared as The Adulteress.
After working in the films "Si salvi chi vuole" (1980), "Goodbye e amen" (1980) and "The Salamander" (1981), Cardinale was cast as Principessa Consuelo Caracciolo in "La pelle" (1981), an Italian/French drama/war movie helmed by Liliana Cavani. The film was nominated for Palme d'Or at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival, and she was handed a Silver Ribbon for Best Supporting Actress for her performance. In the following year, she was cast as a successful brothel owner named Molly in Werner Herzog's surreal " Fitzcarraldo," which starred Klaus Kinski as the title character. She next appeared in "Bankers Also Have Souls" (1982, with Pierre Mondy) and "Le ruffian" (1983). The actress returned to American television in the NBC made for TV film "Princess Daisy" (1983), opposite Lindsay Wagner, Paul Michael Glaser and Robert Urich. There she portrayed Anabelle de Fourdemont Valenski.
Cardinale had the title role in "Claretta Petacci" (1984), an Italian movie directed and co-written by Pasquale Squitieri. For her bright acting, she took home the Venice Film Festival Pasinetti Award for Best Actress, the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Silver Ribbon for Best Actress and the Golden Globes Italy for Best Actress. The same year, she also portrayed Matilda in Marco Bellocchio's "Henry IV" (1984). 1985 to 1989 saw roles in the films "Woman of Wonders," "L'été prochain," " History" (TV), "Hit Man" (TV), "A Man in Love," "La révolution française" and "Hiver 54, l'abbé Pierre."
Entering the 1990s, Cardinale was cast in the starring role of Elena in "Act of Sorrow" ("Atto di dolore," 1990), a French/Italian drama directed by Pasquale Squitieri. The role brought her a Golden Globe, Italy for Best Actress and Prix du Festival at the Montréal World Film Festival. She went on to work in various films throughout the decade, including "Mother" (1991), Blake Edwards' "Son of the Pink Panther" (1993), "Elles ne pensent qu'à ça..." (1994), "Sous les pieds des femmes" (1997), "Riches, belles, etc." (1998) and "Brigands" (1999). She also appeared in television projects, such as "10-07: L'affaire Zeus" (1995), " Nostromo" (1997), " Deserto di fuoco" (1997) and "Mia, Liebe meines Lebens" (1998).
In the new millennium, Cardinale could be seen in such films as "Élisabeth - Ils sont tous nos enfants" (2000, TV), "And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen..." (2002), a thriller movie helmed by Claude Lelouch and starring Jeremy Irons and French singer Patricia Kaas, "The Demon Stirs" (2005), "Cherche fiancé tous frais payés" (2007), "Hold-up à l'italienne" (2008) and "The String" (2009). In "Sinyora Enrica ile Italyan Olmak" (2010), she netted the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival Golden Orange for Best Actress for her role as Signora Enrica. She also appeared with Jean Dujardin, Marie-Josée Croze and Toni Servillo in the drama film "A View of Love" (2010), directed by Nicole Garcia.
Cardinale will play Signora Morosini in the thriller film "Joy de V.," directed and written by Nadia Szold. He also is set to appear in other upcoming film projects such as "Gebo et l'ombre" (2012), "El artista y la modelo" (2012), " Effie" (2012) and "Deauville" (2012).

"Rainbow Runner" Spinner - Trolling Fly
The size of your lure is important. A common
rule of thumb to keep in mind is smaller fish bait will be effective for
catching smaller fish and larger lures should be used when fishing for larger
Large trout are much more likely to be located
in deep water, so do not waste much time fishing shallow waters. Instead,
locate the deep pools in your favorite lake or trout stream. Downed tree also
likely hangouts for large fish, because they provide a placed for them to be
protected and ambush their meals .
Another place to try is downstream on a
trout stream, the water is warmer downstream and large fish like the warmer
water. No matter where you are fishing, one thing to remember is that larger
fish are not as active as smaller trout and will not swim around chasing a
Regardless of the lure you use, you will
want to position it right in front of your target so they will see it as an
easy meal. It is also important not to make sudden movements or noises that
create suspicious vibrations. If a trophy sense trouble, it will swim right
back into its favorite hiding place.
Lake trout cannot survive if the water
temperature is over 65 degrees. Because of this, they are most commonly found
in Canada, the Great Lakes, and the Northern and Western United States,
particularly in mountain lakes. Lake trout normally congregate in deep waters,
where the temperature is coldest. These fish can be characterized by their
excellent vision, but they actually use scent more than sight to identify prey
because they spend so much of their time in low light conditions.
There are times of year in which lake trout
will migrate to the shallows. This happens in spring following the ice melt
until the water temperatures become too warm, and in the fall when spawning
commences. If you are fishing far enough North, though, these lakes will stay
cold year-round, even in the shallows.

I forgot to buy a present for my daughters friend. Her mom isn't happy. explained that I'm going through a divorce and court dates, etc. I'm overwhelmed…and only human. Besides - what are we teaching our children? If my daughter asks where is her gift from so and so I'd remind her that they are her friend and they came to her party. That is the gift. I was taught to appreciate every gesture and to not only be concerned with gifts…
So now I feel bad. Add that onto the evergrowing list of things I suck at. There's nothing I can do now except give the late gift. offer more apologies and hope the mom gets over it. And if not…well. Too bad for her.
I'm sad & sleepy
& no one loves me
the way I wish I were loved
Not just as a mother, friend or daughter.
But as a lover….
as a woman
Is True Love Real?
This morning in NYC it was foggy. I love when it's foggy out. It lends a dreamlike soft feel to everything. A mundane walk to drop my daughter off at school becomes a fantastical adventure complete with monsters (Garbage Trucks) and Fairies (Traffic Lights).
It started me wondering about my own dreamlike state in my life and in my relationship. Things are not very clear. Nothing is settled. Everything is somewhat…unclear. Some things look closer than they are - Nothing feels concrete. I know what I'm looking for - but cannot quite see it. Progress seems fuzzy. And I barely can see what direction I'm headed in.
Everything is dreamy - until you can't see straight. Then you panic. I need the fog to lift……
It is truly time for some re-evaluating
I can look back at my failed friendships, failed marriage and blame them. blame life. or take a look at me.
Yes I'm aware that it takes two to tango -
and every dissolution cannot possibly be all my fault.
But what role do I play in the creation of these failed twosomes?
Perhaps I purposefully enter into engagements which I know cannot last - on some level a struggle with what is right and what is necessary.
Or is it a genuine lack of concern for my own well-being that I befriend the most selfish people on earth?
what would propel me headlong into tumultuous endeavors better than my own selfishness?
A ploy for what I want when I want it - a disregard for what I need to survive.
An Armageddon - packing the Jordan's & the LV before I pack the food.
I am selfish.
and Masochistic.
new breed of S&M
Oh my fucking God.
I just exposed my heart. To the one person with the most power over it besides me.
He's gonna break it again.
I don't ever learn.
He just doesn't want me. Nothing to do about it. Just try to move on.
just try to move on babe. It'll be alright. The pain will stop eventually. The pain will fade. This too shall pass.
Why do I want to love him so much when he doesn't love me back the same? Why am I doing this to myself?
You honestly think admitting how much you love him is going to bring him back? You thinking begging pleading sobbing like a pathetic loser is going to make him come running?
You're an idiot. the only one who can stop this pain is you.
But I don't want to be without him. But he doesn't want to go on with me…
If I ever fall in love again….
Let it be for real
Let it be true
Let it be for keeps
Next time. Let me find my love.
Thanks to my Prince Harming Teacher, I learned in my next relationship I need to find a man who offers:
-Unconditional Love

Why would you leave your baby?
I'm so sad. I walk the streets without you. Every street corner a constant reminder of the fun (and fights) we had.
I cook a meal and want you to taste it.
I put on perfume and want you to taste me…
How could you just walk away? Things weren't that bad. You didn't even give us a fighting chance. You killed me. You hurt me so bad.
And what's worse….you keep playing games with my heart. I fucking love you and all you give me is "I don't know" Do you know how shitty that makes me feel?
And then you say "I miss you"
So fucking what. It's completely inconsequential since you'll do NOTHING about it. So stop telling me. Keep it to yourself. Or better yet - go tell your girlfriend.
Fucking keep yourself busy - at least you have someone to keep yourself busy with. It's just me.
No hugs
No kisses
No cuddles
You left me ALL alone.
you can tell how much pain I'm in
by how many cigarettes I smoke.
There are days when I smoke none. That means I did not think of you.
Today I lit 6. Which is quite a bit. This love/madness/sickness is a disease.
Time to get over it.
I want to love again
…..But I'm so scared….
There is not one day that goes by where you are not on my mind.
I adore you.
Even still.
I think what's hardest of all of this is not the betrayal in itself - that hurts like a bitch though. It's the loss of all that is good in my life. All those late nights watching dumb movies. Cuddling. Kissing. Loving. I miss you. I miss our plans. I miss the picking out the next apartment building. I want to hold your hand as we walk in the park. I want to kiss your face. You know - right to the side of your nose as I like to do. I want to rub your belly when you've had too much to eat. And rub your feet while you tell me about your day.
I want to make plans with you. And have more of your babies.
When you said to me that we can try to make it work - I wanted to say "yes please let's!"
But. It's not quite what you want. Maybe a bit. But I don't want it to be forced upon you. So that you can resent me later. Or so that you will be texting her telling her you miss her instead. I don't need you to ride in on a white horse(although it would be nice). I can rescue myself. I want you to want this more than you don't want it. at least…51% We can work on the rest.
The fact that you've had dreams of me is HUGE - you never dream. You spoke of signs - there they are. But the difference is that it's not what you want. Your actions speak loud and clear.
I was watching "When a Man loves a Woman". Their problem wasn't her alcoholism. It was the lack of communication. Andy Garcia (Me) was happy. As long as he could fix everything - all was well. The money, the house - even his wife. To the point where he ignored her pain. Meg Ryan (you) admits it was fun at first - him fixing everything. Him fixing her. But eventually the fun runs out and she's left feeling empty…and like a constant fuckup that he has to step in and fix. She feels unacknowledged and her needs aren't being met. They have some time apart. He's miserable. She finds the space she needs and then she rescues him.
I see us all in this movie. I fix things. You need money for kicks? Need help finding a job? Here I am! To the fucking rescue. Goddamn superhero. When have I asked you to solve your own problems without me stepping in? It must get tiring. Feeling like a fuckup. I know on some level you do. When I found out - I think part of your reaction was a desperation to get away from being this fuckup. You knew that you had fucked up and I know you resented that. Me. Yourself.
But like Meg Ryan, instead of talking about what you needed, demanding what you wanted - you turned to outside distractions to escape. You tried to deal with it on your own because (to you) I was so perfect and so loving - how could you reasonably find fault with that? You must have talked yourself out of your own thoughts a million times. But you can't solve OUR problems on your own.
I cannot rescue you from this. I can barely rescue me from this. Our love is epic. With your love - I could move mountains. Heaven nor Hell hath power o'er me like you do. I am unashamed to admit that. I know now. Destiny is playing it self out. Like Dean & Sam. Michael & Lucifer. Xavier & Magneto. Romeo & Juliet. Jesus & Judas. Caesar & Brutus.
A song of Fire & Ice.
You are unmoveable. An iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic. Stubborn. Stout. Cold.
My desire for you burns me. Scorches me. Scorches others. Burns brighter than the sun.
I love you. Always. Forever.
Good Luck. Good Life.
I think about you today My dear.
Is it me you think of? (yes)
Is it me you dream of? (yes)
Is it my arms (yes) my lips (yes) my sex you desire? (oh yes)
Is it my heart you broke? (yes)
Are those your vows you broke? (yes)
Is it our child you scar? (yes)
Is this you? (yes)
Ahhhh. So.
Will anything ever change? (no)
Will feelings stay the same? (no)
Can mistakes be erased? (no)
Can time lost be replaced? (no)
And then….
I will move on (already)
This hurt will heal (eventually)
I'll love again (soon)
I'll forget you (not ever)
I'm always playing by the rules.
These "good" "ethical" "moral" rules that no one else plays by
I'm either winning or losing. But I don't let myself exist in a gray area.
Guess that's my loss.
No one else is playing right.
No one else is playing fair.
So - I sit here all alone while the degenerates gather below me.
Because you know - I'm high up. On my lofty perch. Looking down at all of you.
All alone up high I sit.
While you all gather beneath me. Gather at my feet.
But none looks up.
They're all too busy…breaking the rules.
It's time I broke some I think
…Afterall - I like to break rules. Just not hearts….
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I don't want you
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need to
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me (please), hold me (squeeze), hold me, hold me
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
My tears flow so easily these days. Like a river nothing can get in the way…of me crying. But I no longer fight back the tears I let them come freely. Fall down my face. I follow them to that sad place and then I lift myself back up. Get my head together. I'm alright. One foot in front of the other. Progress is slow but there is progress. I can SEE it!!! I can FEEL it. God help me…I AM it
I don't even know if I want him to come home
I just want some Goddamn peace
I wish I didn't miss him this way
or this much
Don't feel like crying all the fucking time
and mourning the past
All I want is to feel better
I want to put this into a box and close it tight and never see it again
This pain that I feel
it's all consuming.
Soon I will be able to
not today
but I pray for the day it does
the day I can put it away
oh how I wish he would come home
come say to me "hey baby - I'm here like I never left - I love you and let's go"
that's how it always was with us
and now its over
how can I get over it? When I'm not ready?
I should be ready
after all this nasty shit he's done
always cheating on me
always abandoning me
always hurting me
But I stuck through
I guess I was the one more in love
which is cool
Just never occurred to me that he wasn't in love..at all
because you can't love someone and do them that way
You can't say you care and then tear me apart
and this last time
it was my fault
I should have never let you in
my heart
my home
my bed
But like a fool I succumbed once more
thinking that all this love I have for you is good enough
to win you back
have our little family
God how I miss that
how I miss waking up next to you and our sqiggle
let's go get breakfast
let's go to the park
let's just go…
Get Busy Living - or Get Busy Dying
I love him. So so much. I know he cares about me. Just not in love with me anymore. But I wish - God I WISH he would want to work it out. But he won't. He's happy. I'm not. I want our life again. I saw a family on the train with their bags - on their way on a trip. It hurt. I started to cry. I want that back. I love him. I loved us. But he doesn't love me. Not in that way. And that way is all I want. I want to fight for us - so much. But how do I fight this? There is no way. He lives a 1000 miles away…with another woman. They're in it "forever" and I'm broken. We're broken. Our daughter is broken. And he won't stay. He will not stay. How do I heal my heart? How can I heal my baby's heart? God please heal me. Please.
I cried for you this morning;
I won't do that again.
I cried for you the day before
In an attempt to be your friend.
But we're not friends, we're lovers,
And without the love we are nothing.
Despite everything we've been through
You stopped feeling that special something.
So pack your bags and get the hell out;
There's no room in my life for wasted space.
And even though I'll be seeing you tomorrow
I won't be looking you in the face.

Here is an Avalanche Fatality Map, a great way to look at national fatalities year by year on a map, by Datafy Me.
Avalanches are overwhelmingly the most dangerous natural hazard in Utah.
|US Fatalities by Season 1950/51 to 2011/12 Courtesy of caic
Avalanche fatalities in the U.S. continue an alarmingly rapid rise.
Data above and below of the past 5 and 10 years. Avalanches make no distinction between users. As they say, "The avalanche does not know that you are an expert."
Times are changing. The graph above shows the percentage of all deaths in each recreation group.
Snowmobile deaths nationwide have skyrocketed in the past two decades and snowboarders have also risen. Climbers account for a smaller and smaller percentage while skiers remain about the same.
Utah is tied for third (with Alaska) for fatalities. Colorado has always been at or near the top. The graph below sheds light on the geographical distribution of fatalities in Utah.
|Luckily, avalanches are fairly benevolent. They allow us several cheap lessons before we get an expensive one. However, sometimes the final exam comes before the lesson.
|Since about half of totally buried people die, even with beacons, it's important to avoid being buried. This is the reason avalanche air bags work very well. But it's also important to have an escape route pre-planned so that if you are caught, you tend to be caught in a part of the avalanche that is more likely to leave you on or near the surface, for instance, near the crown or flanks of an avalanche.
|Two thirds of avalanche fatalities in Utah as well as nationwide are not carrying basic rescue gear. This indicates that ignorance is the leading cause of avalanche death. These statistics are very similar to the number of drowning victims who don't wear personal flotation devices.

I don't like the idea that 10 man raids have worse equipment than 25 man. You're penalizing players for the chance that OTHER PEOPLE will screw up. That's the only assumption that allows you to make the blanket statement that larger raids are more difficult.
Properly set up, there's no reason that a 5 man is necessarily less end-game than a raid. Scaled properly, designed properly, a small group instance could be the most challenging in WoW if Blizzard so chose. In fact, it's easy to make the argument that, since there are no off-tanks or off-healers in typical 5 man content, there is a greater individual responsibility and less margin of error in hypothetical small-group endgame content. Blizzard hasn't set it up that way, but they could have chosen to scale difficulty (in terms of complex encounters, enemy HP and Damage Output, and timing) in such a way that heroics were to be done after raid content, or in such a way that the two are separate and reward separate but comparable gear (like Arena and Raids do now).

Oregon Should Consider Coral Theill this Mother's DayTim King Salem-News.com
There's one really great mom who doesn't look forward to Mother's Day at all.
(DALLAS, Ore.) - To call Coral Theill's story a tragedy is a vast understatement. It grates at the very essence of what is right and wrong in the world, and proves Americans are guilty of what we accuse other governments of doing, when it comes to the treatment of women.
She was violently physically, emotionally and sexually abused for years, she explains, while her husband, Martin Warner of Independence, Oregon, a "respected member of his church", got off scot free.
It went so far that Coral was threatened with arrest by the Polk County Sheriff's Office, if she continued to bring ongoing marital rape and other spousal abuse complaints to their attention.
I personally saw the worst and most oppressive living conditions for women in the world when I covered the war in Afghanistan. They are helpless against rules that are unimaginable by western standards.
Interestingly, Coral has a lot in common with Afghan women; now more than ever in fact. Afghanistan's parliament recently passed the "Shia Family Law" which legitimates marital rape and child marriage for Shia Muslims who make up ~15% of the population.
When Coral spoke up to authorities and tried to reach out, she was silenced by a community where her husband went to church with the right people and had friends in high places.
300 Afghan women recently protested the new law allowing marital rape and nearly 1,000 Afghan men began stoning these female demonstrators. Police struggled to keep the two groups apart, reports the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan.
The government did more for those women that day in Afghanistan by separating them from the attacking males, than Polk County ever did for Coral.
Future Hope?
Perhaps Oregon's new Attorney General, John Kroger, will eventually take a hard look at this. Hardy Myers, Oregon's last AG, never did anything to help. The problem is that it will take a representative of Oregon's law enforcement community who has the ability to 'think out of the box'. I will keep writing about it in the meanwhile.
When I spoke to a representative of Kroger's office recently about the former Polk County District Attorney John Fisher's apparent lack of professionalism in this case, which is only one small aspect of Coral's complaints and founded allegations, he told me that the Oregon AG only supports the state's district attorneys.
Here's what happened in the end, in Coral's own words.
"At the time of my divorce, all my 8 children, including my nursing infant, were removed from me by Court Order signed by Judge Norblad, March 10, 1996. My son Aaron Warner, has remained in a relationship with me, since my divorce 13 years ago, and honors me as his mother, to the dismay of his brothers and sisters, who have been told various lies, i.e., that I abandoned them, don't care about them or love them by their father, relatives and church people."
So where does that leave Coral?
Well, among other things it leaves her almost completely out of the lives of her eight children in Oregon, many of whom have been, she believes, totally and completely brainwashed by the same abusive male who tormented her, "Marty" Warner.
Victim Becomes Author
The one thing Mr. Warner probably didn't anticipate as he drove Coral into living in an obscure location, was that she would write a book that told her story in stark detail, revealing secrets of surviving torturous mental, physical and sexual abuse as well as massive betrayal by her own people.
As a popular author whose book has been widely read, she has already given a gift to the world that is totally irreversible. Coral's response to having everything taken from her, was to give some more by writing BONSHEA: Making Light of the Dark.
I think my favorite part is that the book is a real hit among Marines serving in Iraq. The Marines know what it is like to lose things also, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is the result of too much combat, or spousal abuse, so Coral's writings, based upon the letters she has received from Iraq, has probably saved lives.
I am only offering you a small overview of Coral's relentless spirit and life. I suggest and hope that you follow the links to the previous articles that we have published about Coral. You can also order her book below and you might want to do that after reading the other articles, or even before.
I have taken a personal interest in her case along with noted doctors, professors, psychiatrists and others, and hope to eventually see her be able to rejoin her life in some way.
Polk County doesn't apparently go halfway in matters like this, and Coral has been struggling with child support payments as she tries to survive one day to the next living in basic exile as a refugee of her own community and family.
I have been contacted by people who knew Coral years ago, and each person has told me about what a wonderful mother she always was, and how she loved her children and protected them from harm as long as she could.
On this Mother's Day, as we celebrate and appreciate those who give the gift of life itself, please remember Coral Theill and support her and others like her.
Sadly, she is only one of many women in Oregon and throughout the United States, who were victimized while well within reach, of the fabled long arm of the law.
Another Internet site Coral recommends is: thelizlibrary.org/
BONSHEA is purchased online at: iUniverse.com http://amazon.com and barnesnandnoble.com and has received 12 five star reviews, and a writer's award from iUniverse Publishing. The National Domestic Violence Resource Center in Pennyslvania previewed BONSHEA and is recommending it as a survivor story.
You can also find BONSHEA: Making Light of the Dark by Coral Anika Theill at the Salem, Corvallis, Albany, Independence, Monmouth and Linn Benton and Chemeketa Community Colleges. Copies are also available at Borders Bookstore in Corvallis, Oregon.

I have never liked Mother's Day but it took on a new level after the loss of my children. Even in 2007 during my divorce proceeding it took multiple phone calls to the attorney in order to get my children for lunch. I wish Mother's Day would go away.
Coral Anika Theill July 20, 2009 8:23 am (Pacific time)
NEWS ALERT AND UPDATE: Good Morning America and Citizens around the world: When I think my wealthy ex husband, Mr. Marty Warner of Independence, Oregon, has gone to the limit of the definition of obscene and sadistic, he out does himself once again. I am afraid to think of what he will do that could be more low than what he is doing to me today. I have learned a great deal about psychopaths and narcissistic individuals in my research these past many years, especially at one website called: http://sanctuaryfortheabused.com Besides decades of spiritual and ritual abuse, physical and mental abuse, rape and then taking my children from me as a form of punishing me when I divorced him for safety reasons, these past 14 years he has legally stalked and abused me further. He sued me while I have been homeless and disabled, for more child support and brainwashing my children to hate me. Oregon Courts continue to support his abuse. There are few laws to protect women seeking safety. My ex goes one step further today, and his Christian friends, family and church members continue to support him. ***My brother, Donald Alan Hall, was killed in a tragic plane crash in Mammoth Lake, California, July 8th. His girlfriend was also killed too. I learned about this tragedy on July 10th through an email by my brother's former girlfriend. I cared about my brother deeply his entire life. He was my baby brother. His memorial service is this morning at Covenant Christian Community Church, 2630 E. 18th St, The Dalles, Oregon, at 11:00 am. Pastor David will be reading a eulogy I wrote for my brother's service. I cannot legally attend my brother's service. My ex husband, Mr. Marty Warner, will be attending the service, along with my children, who I lost through seeking safety and a divorce 13 years ago. I have lived under a protection program from my ex for 11 years now, because of domestic violence, rape and threats. It would be unsafe and unwise to be at my brother's funeral because for obvious reasons, but the fact that my 2 minor children, who are 14 and 17, will be there, creates legal problems for me. It would be illegal for me to attend my brother's service today. Mr. Warner has custody and I have no visitation privileges, due to the fact I have no monies or attorney and wish no contact with their father. I would be arrested and be in "contempt of court" to be in the vicinity of my children. I have not seen my children for 13 years, after being a nuturing and loving mother for 20 years. Seventy five percent of women seeking safety in America today lose their children in family courts to their abuser. http://batteredmotherscustodyconference.com My father, Bobby Ray Hall, who died 25 years ago, I am sure is rolling in his grave today, knowing his daughter cannot attend her brother's funeral. My brother and I were as close as twins, sharing joy, sorrow and tragedies throughout most of our life. Sadly, my brother adopted an extreme form of legalistic fundamental Christianity (he was a born again, spirit filled Christian like me ex) as his religion in his twenties and choose to shun me 6 years ago until now, when I was living out of my car, disabled and destitute. I truly lost my brother 6 years ago. It made me sad that he would not acknowledge me as a fellow human being, but I learned to respect and accept his choice. Christian friends of mine, attempted to confront him about this, but to no avail. I have had no family, due to their support of my abuser, my ex. I missed Don greatly these past years and have always loved him and always will (before he was a Christian and after). I never thought I would live to see a day like today. I am saddened and grieved at the news of my brother's death. If my ex and children were not there at his service, I could have the choice to attend. My ex did not know my brother and my children have only had contact with him a few times in the past 14 years. My brother has attended my daughter's weddings, I have not been invited or welcome. Oprah Winfrey continues to state that "America is the safest place for women in the world." Her statement is false per my experiences these past many decades. This day and event may be unprecedented. I don't know if this has happened before. I cannot digest fully, the events of today as there is nothing built in my psyche to process this. I attended my father's funeral and gave the eulogy. That was healing for me. The individuals who attend my brother's funeral today and are allowed to talk to and see my children will need to ask themselves, someday this question. "Why are they allowed to attend, and his sister was not." I was extremely close to my brother for 46 of his 52 years. I have many questions today and I hope I live into some answers. Writing is a "healing crisis" for me, so I will be using my experiences to date to write news articles for domestic violence month in October. My friends and mentors say, "Coral, something has got to shift, it can't go on this way." After the news of my brother's death last week, I received another blow. My wealthy ex husband was awarded my disability check, due to the fact that I owe him back child support as he sued me when I was homeless, destitute and disabled for double the amount of monies than I could earn. My ex and many of his Christians friends and supporters remind me of the saying, "If you can't be a good example, you will just have to be a horrible warning." I am having these quotes read at my brother's service today as I believe my brother would appreciate these words. HEAVEN A sage asked the Creator to show him Hell. In it were people on both sides of a long table, seated in front of a big pot of stew. Each person had a spoon with a very long handle, such that they could not get any food for themselves. They were perpetually starving. Then he saw Heaven. Same set-up, but the people were feeding each other. ******* "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou I wish Don's and his girlfriend's family and friends peace and comfort during this most difficult time.

Coral, Due to the perverseness of the court systems, I think that 'our problem' is that we believe that 'others' live on a 'moral' or higher level of inner accountability and in reality. They don't.

Oregon's Attorney General John Kroger is suppose to support the taxpayers and people of Oregon, first, and not the state's district attorneys. His salary comes from the taxpayer. It's time that the legal establishment of Oregon got it straight as to who they are working for, the people and children of Oregon, and not themselves. I believe Judge Paula Brownhill broke the law when she would not grant Coral Theill a phone hearing when Ms. Theill could not make it to the courtroom because of a disability. The judge cannot discriminate on the basis of disabilities. It does not seem right that Judge Paula Brownhill ordered Coral Theill to go to court against the doctor's orders. The doctor is more qualified in this matter than a judge. These judges do not know what the are doing, because they do not know the law. - Earl Richards, Board of Directors, Texhoma Domestic Violence Victims Institute, Inc., www.tdvvi.org

I don't know about the case specifics, but doesn't the Oregon AG have the responsibility to protect its citizens? They should at least review the case and say the complaints have merit or not. I don't know if there is a way to redress this, but I would think the first stop would be the AG office. AG's have stepped in to review cases in various states before (North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper in the Duke case comes to mind). This case the AG office is working below seems lightweight in comparison with what I just read… "The Oregon attorney general's office is investigating the Recording Industry Association of America's practices regarding 17 University of Oregon students accused of copyright infringement. While the AG isn't minimizing the seriousness of copyright violations, his office has submitted a brief questioning the data mining tactics and subpoena practices employed by the RIAA." Hopefully along with the headlines there will be some individual legal protections as well.

Please, for goodness sakes, stop feeding these bullies out there. This ex of hers ripped her apart and his "buddies" backed him up. Remember: Bullies NEVER operate online, they built their allies and all they care about is getting what they want. What kind of a parent turns the children against the other parent? Coral is strong and is a survivor. She has guts and I commend her for all she has been through and is now able to help others. Even though this is not a peer abuse situation, its abuse and I can bet her ex was either a childhood bully or a spoiled brat by his parents. As for the justice system, it failed her and fed another bully. Yeah, the women in Afganistan are treated better, this story is proof positive! Elizabeth Bennett Peer Abuse Know More!

Coral, It was a joy to meet and chat with you. I just finished reading all of the websites in your email and am in shock. I wish there was something to be done. Is there a website or address to write letters to the Oregon politicians and judges? In this day and age this is a travesty. Not too mention, a very scary thing to realize that there are still areas of the USA where the court system, politicians and police etc are underhanded, work illegally and are unethical. I would never imagine Oregon (the state of liberals) would be like the Ku Klux Klan in the south in regards to women's rights. I will put you in my prayers nightly. I am going onto the Amazon website to order your book. I think one of the worse cases of abuse comes from the religious fanatics who believe they are above the law and interpret the word of God and the bible to work in their sick advantage. God Bless You. I honestly believe what goes around will come around. However, I can see where in your case this might be hard to believe. The fact that you can still be so positive and continue to fight on is a true testament to your awesome strength and power as a woman. Please keep in touch. I am honored and thrilled to have met you. You are a rock and I honestly believe you will win in the end.

The saddest part of Coral's story will always be that her children were robbed of her love, grace, strength, creativity and joy. They have been taught a lop-sided perspective on events, distorted by a religion that is based neither on love nor compassion. There is no remedy for them or for Coral, but the fact that the Polk Co courts still threaten to put her in jail for child support due for children the same court stripped from her, is ludicrous. I'm proud to have Coral as a friend.
JD May 10, 2009 11:51 pm (Pacific time)
You go Coral. I know judge norblad. He is a mean DRUNK, who's judgements are for sale. norblad NEEDS TO GO!!!
Clover Quinn May 10, 2009 10:59 pm (Pacific time)
Coral Theill's indomitable spirit and relentless hope have been an inspiration and challenge to me throughout the past eight years or so of our friendship. She has plummeted to the depths, in the areas of health and finances, yet never given up in her inspiring belief that her story's outcome should be reversed so that other women will not suffer the inhumanity she has endured through the Oregon court/legal system. Her husband's efforts to extract child support from her when she was penniless meant her passport was removed from her, her vehicle was absconded, her meager employment lost and her Disability threatened. Yet her humor and her resilience have buoyed her up and she gives generously from her heart to help servicemen and women who have suffered in their own way. She is a hero to all who know and love her. Happy Mother's Day to you, Coral, and may your children rise up to bless you!
Erna Boldt May 10, 2009 6:00 pm (Pacific time)
A very sad story. However, Oregon is a State, where the Sheriff's, the District's Attorney's,and the men in the black robes, (who make their own laws-even defy the Constitution and the Civil Rights Amendments)when they decide who to prosecute, or on who's side the Laws are interpreted. Social Services has no authority,when you come right down to it, the Oregon Bar Association is publishing articles about Abuse Prevention, but NO ONE will take on the Attorney General, who refuses to prosecute (even though authorized to intervene in civil cases)- no matter how the legilature intended the law(s)to read. If you are a woman, you have no voice in the matter, and the courts will drag a woman through hell, rather than admit prejudice and bias under the disguise of final authority of a largely defunct Judicial system in Oregon. Just remember, we voted those with promises into office. Once they are there, the doors are closed to the most vulnerable in our society. IS THIS AMERICA, JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!!! What a crap, we are taught to believe.

I will pray that Coral's children will open their hearts to her, and become a family once more, as they grow old enough to control their own lives and separate themselves from the approval system of their father's home. Happy Mother's Day Coral, you should certainly be celebrated on this special day.
Christine Pahl May 10, 2009 10:19 am (Pacific time)
I have known Coral for about five years. Since we first met, I felt this incredible sense of helplessness in changing the outcome of her tortured life--I say "I" felt a sense of helplessness. Coral, however, has been indomitable. Despite insurmountable odds, lack of a safe place to live and security, lack of any family, legal or emotional support, and a system that exercised traumatic control of her life, she has continued to relentlessly fight back. Her acute intelligence and drive and ability to network are inspirational to all who know her. She thinks deeply and feels intensely. The fervor and passion with which Coral fights back against the injustices that have rained upon her over her lifespan, come from the same deep place from which mothers love and protect their children. On this Mother's Day, who better to honor than Coral Theill--a mother who has modeled for all what love and commitment look like!!!!! Go Coral!!!! Christine Pahl, Mill City, OR

The Sinnott Memorial Observation Station is a sheltered viewpoint built into the caldera cliff 900 feet above Crater Lake in southern Oregon, United States. It is located near the Rim Village Visitor Center in Crater Lake National Park. The structure includes a small natural history museum with exhibits that highlight the geologic history of Mount Mazama and the formation of Crater Lake.
The building was officially dedicated as the Nicholas J. Sinnott Memorial Observation Station and Museum; however, it is commonly known as the Sinnott Memorial Overlook or Sinnott Viewing Area. It is architecturally significant because it was the first National Park Service building constructed specifically as a museum and the first structure built in Crater Lake National Park using rustic stone masonry construction. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Sinnott Memorial Building No. 67.

Electoral College still stands, thanks to Arnie's veto
The Electoral College dodged a bullet in California tonight as Gov.

Lies, Half-truths and Contradictions: Palin's poor-mouthing
We heard from ever-elusive Sarah Palin in TWO places today. She consented to her first "extensive" print interview.

NJ Woman Becomes the Fattest Woman To Give Birth Ever
Gant Daily: The Guinness World Records has declared a New Jersey woman to be the fattest woman to have ever given birth.
Donna Simpson, who at the time of her delivery three years ago in Akron, Ohio, weighed 532 pounds. Since then, Simpson has gained weight and now tips the scales at a staggering 600 pounds, according to reports.
She will be awarded her title officially during a September ceremony in New York.
Simpson dreams one day of reaching her goal of 1,000 pounds.
According to Simpson, there is a sub-culture of individuals wanting to gain weight and become fat. She also said there are many people who like larger than life women. Simpson is the owner of a pay site where people can pay a small monthly fee to view photos and videos of her performing tasks around the house and eating.
Simpson said she does not perform nude, but that does not affect her viewership.

You are here:home > Living > Council Tax > Billing and debt recovery
Council tax bills are issued annually to every domestic property for the years charge 1st April to 31st March. As council tax is a daily charge new occupiers are charged from the day they become liable for a property to the following 31st March.
The annual charge can be paid by monthly instalments with optional instalment dates of 1st, 8th, 15th, 23rd. You should ensure your full instalment reaches us by the due date or within 7 days. If you pay by Direct Debit your instalments will be collected automatically each year. A downloadable form is provided at the bottom of this page.
Your bill will summarise the details of your account, i.e. the band, any discounts or council tax reduction, the total charge followed by the list of instalments and their due dates.
Change Instalment Date form
If you fail to pay an instalment within time then a reminder will be issued. If the reminder amount remains unpaid after 7 days then the full balance for the year becomes payable after a further 7 days. No further reminders are sent but unless the full amount is paid, a summons will be issued incurring £70.00 costs.
If following a reminder you pay within 7 days then you can continue to pay by instalments. If you have received 2 previous reminders but you fail to pay promptly for a 3rd time in the same year, a final notice is issued for the FULL balance for the year. You lose the right to pay by the original instalments. Unless the whole amount is paid within 7 days a summons will be issued and £70.00 costs will be charged to your account.
The original instalment plan itself is an arrangement to pay the years charge by monthly instalments. We will not enter into any further arrangements prior to the issue of a summons unless future payments are to be paid by direct debit. If you wish to pay by direct debit an arrangement will be set up to clear the current year's balance by the end of the financial year. Arrangements can still be discussed after the account is summonsed but the Council will continue to obtain a liability order. (Direct Debit form)
The Council will make a complaint to the Magistrates court for unpaid council tax, a summons will be issued to each liable person and £70.00 costs are added to the account. Payment of the full amount including the costs, before the court date, ends the matter.
You should contact the Council in the first instance to discuss any issues regarding your council tax. The Magistrates cannot deal with council tax benefit issues, make arrangements or sort out exemptions/ discounts. You must contact us about these matters and not the court. If you contact us at this stage to make a payment arrangement we can obtain a liability order at court without your attendance and no further action will be taken if the arrangement is honoured. Make an arrangement offer.
Do not attend court unless you have a legal defence against the issue of a liability order. Whatever you are disputing please contact us first as it may be possible to resolve the matter without the need for court.
The magistrate can only listen to a valid defence against the issue of a liability order and the defences are limited:-
• The amount demanded has been paid
• Six years have passed since the debt became due
• You have been made bankrupt
• The council tax has not been properly demanded or set by resolution of the Council
• The property does not appear in the valuation list
• You are not the liable person
It is not a defence against the issue of a liability order if:-
• You cannot afford to pay or you want to make a payment arrangement
• You have applied for council tax benefit or disagree with the award
• You have appealed to the Council or the Valuation Office about the band of your property.
• You are appealing to the Valuation Tribunal
• You are a student
When the court has granted a liability order to the Council for unpaid council tax further action can be taken to recover the debt:-
• Request personal financial information
• Attachment of earnings - We can ask your employer to regularly deduct a percentage of your wage, depending on the amount you earn, and pay it to your council tax account. They can charge you a £1 administration fee each time.
• Attachment of benefit - We ask the Department of Work and Pensions to deduct an amount per week from your Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance, Pension Credit or Employment and Support Allowance and pay it to your council tax account.
• Bailiff action – "levying distress". Equita Bailiffs and Ross and Roberts are instructed to collect the debt on the Councils' behalf or remove items belonging to you and sell them. This incurs further bailiff costs.
• Apply to make you bankrupt.
• Charging orders. If you owe £1000 or more the council can apply to the County Court for a charge on your property.
• Apply for your committal to prison
Unless an attachment is possible you will be sent a notification of the liability order giving you 14 days to pay or reply with an arrangement offer before the debt is passed to a bailiff to collect.
If an arrangement to clear the debt has been agreed the liability order is held and no further action is taken.

New Jersey--A system that uses a wrist bracelet to keep track of the disabled, including people with Alzheimer's disease, may have saved a New Jersey man's life.His wife Arlene, who didn't want to give her last name, said she went out onto her porch to say something to her husband, and discovered that he wasn't there.He knew where he was going, but he didn't know how to get back."I decided I better start walking back home, but I'll take a shortcut," Arlene's husband said.Arlene's husband is 79-years-old, and has been diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease."I began to panic, because in either direction, he would cross a busy street," Arlene said. "I took the car and drove up and down the street, and I couldn't find him."After an hour, Arlene said she called the Mercer County Sheriff's Office.Officer Chris Tighe with "Project Lifesaver" began tracking the signal eliminating from the bracelet Arlene's husband was wearing."I'm always really excited to see somebody when we know we made the rescue," he said. "He was confused. He told us that he didn't know where he was anymore."It was a year ago that a retired New Jersey state trooper with Alzheimer's, Gordon Hector, died after he was missing for nine days.He did not have a tracking bracelet."The Hector family has stood behind us and helped us raise a considerable amount of money, so that we are able to provide this to members of the public at no charge," said Mercer County Sheriff Kevin Larkin.For anyone debating whether or not to get the bracelet, Arlene said they should not hesitate."Go for it," she said. "Because you can't wait until they wander the first time."
The tracking devices are also used for people with other disorders, like Autism.
The number of agencies that use project lifesaver is growing, which includes the Colquitt County Sheriff's Office.

The lovely Jack and Gemma came down to ELFM just after Christmas 2010. It was great to catch up with a duo that have had a real impact during the year.
They played four tracks live down in the Parlour for us and had a chat in the studio. So – if you want to check out the latest on the name and the punctuation; find out the score from the Leeds match or just why Jack seems to be wandering off from time to time down to the metropolis (although he has still to be invited to the Palace). Or maybe you just want to marvel at the singing, playing and song-writing of this talented pair – then have a listen…
Leave us your email address and we'll remember you next time you visit.

Dr. Bennett C. Rothenberg's Ratings
I find Dr Rothenberg to be a caring, compassionate, patient, doctor who is extremerly concerned with his patients.
Submitted July 22, 2013 | flag
Do not use him for a breast reduction. I had a horrible experience. I got a neuroma and he did another surgery and it made it worse. What about going the more conservative route like cortisone injection and local anesthetic? I suffered needlessly. Go elsewhere. It was the biggest mistake I ever made.

Dr Rothenberg was incredibly patient, knowledgable and has a great bedside manner. I am extrememly pleased with the results - I never had to wait more than 10 minutes and he was very caring while i was in the hosptial. Highly recommended!!!
