SFZero Roadtrip by Lincøln, Charlie Fish, Cameron, susy derkins, Lank, anna one, Bex., [BLANK_NAME], Orion, Heatherlynn, Jellybean of Thark, Malaysian Eddy, Tiny Dancing Tzarina, Meta tron, Salvator, BlueNovember 3rd, 2008 1:39 AM
You cannot plan to have days like those. You can try, but it takes a rare convergence of mood, time, people and fickle serendipity - and those things cannot be forced.
I've just had 14 of those days in a row.
We started planning our road trip back in December 2007. My wife, my brother-in-law and I were in their parents' house in Spalding, nestling on sofas in front of the fire, listening to Christmas music and smiling in anticipation at the thought of the presents under the tree.
We plotted out a possible route on Google maps and emailed out an invitation to all of our friends. That map became the focal point of our growing excitement over the next few months as we settled on dates, collected "yesses" and "maybes", booked the flights, planned the accommodation...
In the end, ten of us went. (Eleven, if you include Salvator.)
Bigfoot (aka Shane McIan)
A good balance: 5 girls, 5 boys. 3 couples, 4 singles. A mix of friendship groups. And a very adventurous teddy. I think that balance helped us get on so well during the 3000+ miles of driving!
Meeting SFØ players was one of the primary aims of the trip. And we are greatly honoured that so many of you went out of your way to welcome us and show us a good time while we were there. Let me know if I've missed you off the list!
Susy Derkins

Tiny Dancer
C. M. the Gonzalez
We took nearly 10GB of photos and videos between us, so I can't share it all, there's just too much. Instead, I provide a video compilation (hopefully without too many in-jokes) and a selection of highlights below:
- Speed
We did a lot of driving in the first 48 hours - over 1000 miles. At around the halfway point we stopped off at the Bonneville Salt Flats where they set the land speed records. We set the hire car speed record.
In the middle of the salt flats you could barely see the horizon, just featureless whiteness below and cloudless blue above, as if we were cartoons on a blank page. It was exhilarating driving at 100mph into total nothingness. On one hand, it felt like we were barely moving because there was no frame of reference - but on the other hand it felt terrifyingly dangerous in case we hit a dent or a piece of debris.
I got out of the car to take a video at one point, and as it drove off I realized I was about five miles from, well, anything at all. I couldn't even see where we needed to head back to. The sun was setting purple in front of me, and a storm fired lightning into the swelling sky behind me. I felt powerful and alone.
It took us days to get rid of all the salt.
- Dead
Dead Horse Point is breathtaking, 2000 feet straight down on three sides. There are two steps that you need to take to properly experience it:
1. Throw a rock and count nearly ten seconds before you hear it land.
2. Secretly think about jumping off.
- Hot Tub
By the end of day three, after all that driving, we were exhausted. We drove into Moab after dark (why don't American roads have cat's eyes?) and pulled into the Moab Springs Ranch, where we had booked two nights.
From the moment we arrived, we decided that we would live there one day. Our condos were amazing, with balconies, a BBQ, a meadow and a pool... And a giant outdoor hot tub.
Chinchilla and I found the hot tub in the dark and informed everyone that we would meet them there.
It's amazing how cares slide away with bubbles at 99 degrees. We two were staring up at the scar of the Milky Way and letting the time of our lives soak into our skin, when Speedy and Starbuck showed up with a bottle of champagne and two glasses. They wished us a happy first anniversary - for it had been a year to the day since our wedding - and told us they'd give us ten minutes to ourselves before everyone joined us in the tub.
The next couple of hours could have lasted forever. Friends, bubbles and bubbly; stars and dreams. Happiness incarnate.
- Dance Patch
There's a town called Mexican Hat. We danced and danced and danced around the Mexican Hat.
- Fame
I am a writer. I want to be a successful writer. So, naturally, my heroes are writers. As a film enthusiast as well, my biggest heroes are screenwriters. And probably my biggest hero of all is Terry Rossio, whose writing credits include Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek, Aladdin, and - most inspirationally for me - Wordplay.
I corresponded with him over an unrelated matter, and mentioned in passing that we were visiting the States. So he INVITED US TO A HOUSE PARTY. Now, technically, we weren't available. According to our itinerary, we would still be in Las Vegas when the party was happening in LA.
Screw the plan.
Chinchilla and I decided to temporarily leave the group behind and fly to LA, returning the next morning - and damn the cost. Getting flights and a hire car would have cost two dollars more than a package that included flights, hire car and a room at what turned out to be The Worst Hotel In Los Angeles. That's right, they actually paid us to stay there.
But nothing took away from the nerves and excitement we felt that day. It felt surreal driving through Santa Monica, knowing that we would be here again in three days with eight other people, and turning off into the beautiful Topanga Hills.
We found the address and crawled up the winding two-mile driveway. (At least it felt that long.) And there it was. In Terry Rossio's own words, "the house that Pirates built." My heart was racing. I felt thrilled, intimated, proud, nervous...
The best possible thing happened: we were too early. Terry and his partner Jocelyn (top of her field as both a surgeon and a film producer - some people are just... more, aren't they?) were still setting up. So we helped them lay out chairs and canapés, and we chatted to them about how they were still in awe of this beautiful house after more than two years of living here. We chatted to them as normal people about normal things.
People started to arrive, so we let Terry act the host and we snooped around the house a bit. There was no-one more famous than Terry - it was a launch party for Turbo Dates so there were lots of writers and publicists and distributors.
A few things about the house stuck in our minds. The plaque commemorating the $960,000,000 box office gross of At World's End. The handwritten note of gratitude from Gore Verbinsky (just lying around - Terry is a trusting man!). The mix CD from Johnny Depp. The Upper Hot Tub (yes, there was more than one hot tub).
The party passed its peak and eventually we said our goodbyes, asking Terry for a photo before we left. We went to sleep that night with glorious satisfaction.
- Elvis
Way back in December, when this trip was being cooked up, Coyote promised - as a Christmas present - to arrange for us to get our wedding vows renewed by Elvis in Vegas. To celebrate our first wedding anniversary.
He kept his promise. I laughed so hard my jaw ached, for twenty minutes straight. Brilliant.
- Kindness of Strangers
I am filled with gratitude and wonder for the players that met us on our travels, and helped to make this amazing trip even more memorable.
We met Lincoln in Las Vegas. He was bursting with stories about the ups and downs of his Odyssey, and we were glad to contribute.
A large part of me is envious of his freedom from responsibilities, but I have (perhaps too much of) my father's definition of success in me, so I dutifully make the sacrifice of giving up a lot of time and energy to get a dependable income - and I have to squeeze things like this trip and SFØ into the gaps. Anyway, it was refreshing to live Lincoln's lifestyle vicariously for a couple of days.
Together, we savoured the gaudy desolation of Las Vegas. Hell framed by neon. Mind you, it has to be said that the Stratosphere Hotel's Restaurant at the Top of the World rocks hard.
Then we gave Lincoln a lift to LA (by way of an ill-advised detour through Mojave National Preserve which has to be the only place in America without any fast food restaurants), where we met C.M. the Gonzalez and Heatherlynn in time to see the sun set from the Griffith Park Observatory. Those two are such a sweet and genuine pair.
We ate in a place called House of Pies. You can't go wrong with a place called House of Pies.
All too soon, we had to say goodbye. The next shplank* of players we met were in San Francisco: No fewer than five - count 'em, five - separate occasions of SFØ love...
*(Shplank being the collective noun for a group of SFØ players.)
1. We were invited to join Lank, Minch, Bex, Tiny Dancer, Blue, Eddy and I think a few more players (Bjorn Teuleuse, Anomaly, Asian Persuasion?) to go see the Extra Action Marching Band. I would never have predicted that the cutting edge of club culture would be anarchic marching bands, but WOW these guys rocked. They were so in-your-face that they even jumped into the crowd - tubas, gas-masked dancing girls and all. I sweated my entire body weight. And it was double the fun because I got a chance to chat to (and be dry-humped by) all the awesome SFØers. My kind of people. You should all come to London and live in my spare room.
2. The Morning After. We had a great chilled-out breakfast with most of the gang. We basked in that rare feeling of warm satisfaction that is only possible when you're slightly hungover and having a big breakfast with new friends. We would have loved to spend more time with them, but our schedule was packed with (among other things)...
3. Cameron generously gave up a big chunk of his working day to give us a tour of George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. On the surface, just a ranch. On the inside, a cinephile's secret paradise with countless original film props, giant screening rooms, cabinets full of Oscars, and space battle explosions from behind locked doors. Cameron, you are the best. (Oh, and we bumped into Orion there too! Legend!)
4. We visited Lank and anna one at their place of work - a giant gay S&M factory. I had to work hard to keep a straight face (pun not intended). They are such a friendly, grounded couple - I don't know how they manage to keep their sense of normalcy working in a place with horrible gapey porn streaming off a six-foot screen all hours! Seriously, so much fun.
5. Susy Derkins left us a treasure map of sorts. A cryptic message that led us to a random street in Oakland, where we met an actual mad scientist who gave us gifts that break the laws of physics. Susy, we worship you.
- End
And I haven't mentioned Salvator's adventures, the Beast and the Gimp Car, the Mormons, the White King and the World's Largest Watermelon, the National Parks (Arches, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Yosemite), the Hurricane High School football game, the road trip music quiz, the restaurant at the top of the world, Pismo beach, the Mystery Spot, the two singles on the trip who became a couple... And so many more!
Right, time to start planning the next trip...
- Postscript
The keen-eyed among you who were playing during Glasnost will notice that the story lives on...
- Collaborators
Minch : I admit, I may have been one of the many to dry hump Charlie Fish, I learned from the Bex, I mean the best... I make no apologies (it was Charlie Fish for Christ's Sake!). I dry humped him, and it was glorious. I also nuzzled, because one must nuzzle after a dry hump, so as to ensure the object of your affection does not feel used or slightly dirty. So lovely to have such far far away stranger friends come visit. I plan to take you up on that London spare room, Mr Fish.
Lincoln: I have nothing more to report that I didn't in the writeup of the Odyssey. Other than to say that I can't wait to go to jolly old England and do this road trip over there.
susy derkins: Charlie Fish and Mink had traveled to my continent. Greatness was in the air. You see, they both had been dear friends and mentors to me from the beginning, just like that. Something had to be done, a gesture of yourockmysocks gratitude: hey, a round of exotic drinks in an anti-gravity field would have been reasonable, but I had to go symbolic instead. The most awesome drink-related objects I could find, which also meant a chance to write to a personal hero who in turn got touched by Mink and Shane unquenchable charm (Charlie & Co. had already left the States).
C.M.: What fun! Foreign ambassadors in my city means another excuse to drive up and watch the sun set at the Griffith Observatory. A van full of the friendliest English folks I ever did meet pulled up right after the gay wedding had finished up. There was magic in the air that night!

I WILL go to America one day... nice wedding vid =P
Why not going to another continent to complete a task? This looks like lot's of fun. I like the marching band.
And especially for susy derkins I award one magic star pony:
It's wonderful how you all turned a great idea into an awesome reality.
"Right, time to start planning the next trip..."
I'm bagging a place on this! I don't care about money, time, anything like that - this looks too awesome to pass up!
Trust me, I'm already thinking about saving up my EMA to go to SF for a week the summer before I go to uni...
I fully support this idea Vicki. I and my couch fully support this idea.
Aw, thankies Minchie! I shall try and remember this in three years time =P x
Holy cow Charlie, that video is absolutely brilliant too!
Agreed. Kudos on an awesome editing job there.
Susie, dont you live in mexico?
Yep, sir, I do. The only reason I appear as a collab on this task is that I arranged for Minch and Charlie to stop at the Klein's Bottle place to pick up a gift. So, is Charlie's generosity, really, since I was (snif!) never on that roadtrip with them.
I keep trying to cut away from the video for a second to write this note, but it draws me back -- and I don't even know any of you people!
As a semi-professional road-tripper and former West Coaster, I must say that you did it absolutely perfectly stupendously well.
A lifetime's worth of memories there -- you must still be reeling.
OK, now back to finish the video...
Mmmmazing! This definitely gets more vote points as they arrive.
Sometimes I wish I could give more than 5 points...
And a whole town called Mexican Hat! I must visit it!
Such a good video. Elvis Wedding was AMAZING!!!!! Awww, now I miss you guys :(
So. Jealous.
So this is one of those heart-warming task completions, eh? Good work.
Have some vote points, everyone! Yay!
I was on the road with Charlie Fish and Mink for a few days and they visited my home.
Yeah, Blue, how did you manage to vote for your own task?
Shane and I also ate icecream and drank JD in Bex's house, but I didn't take any photos.
Worse, collaborators that didn´t even travel...
Blue's ways may be wrong but boy, are they smart....
What's wrong with ice cream and Jack Daniels, again?
Blue voted because he has a sock puppet of himself (blank name). One is attached to the task, one is not and can therefore vote...
as for the collaborators that didn't even travel.... we didn't ask to be added. Charlie added each of us as a thank you for the nice time he had. seeing as he is so very far away, and we all met via the game, it's a rather nice way to say thanks.
how comes paranoid wants to pick a fight. it's a pretty effing awesome road trip (and i would still think that without being added and without earning points).
Both [BLANK_NAME] and Blue are collaborators, that's the beauty of it.
And Minch, did you feel attacked by my "didn't even travel"? May I suggest noticing that I'm in too?
Heh, I didn't realise there were two versions of Blue attached to the task!
Well, that just means he has more vote points to share around. Good for us all. :)
Paranoid, if you're feeling intimidated about completing your first task because the high scorers are running away with it, I'd be glad to collaborate with you on something if you want. Once you complete your first couple of tasks and the points start coming in, you'll feel the drive and you'll catch up in no time at all.
This is what yall talk about on here?!
I call this thread rehashing someone else's good time, while being a poopy pants.
By the way. Just to clear the air;
I don't have a sockpuppet, I am a sockpuppet.
P.S. American roads in the South do have cat's eyes but we don't have them in regions with snow because the plows would scrape them up every winter...
Ooooooh! I want to roadtrip!
Sooooooooooooooo Jealous!
That's it! Epic Roadtrip for Shälaco within the next 6-8 months!
So Generouse with the points. But who is this [Blank Name] imposter?
Screw this countries short, short vacations. I am finding 14 days!
Yeh, at the pie shop Charlie and I actually spent a while discussing how jacked up vacations are in this country.
Voting on highly collaborative tasks inflates the SF0 economy - that means more votes to go around! Yay!
I don't like reading praxes unless I have points available to reward them, which means I'm still about three weeks behind on reading the Everyday Life praxis...
We all took turns ogling the Moon through a telescope. A beautiful night, there was some very happy howling in the brush around the observatory.
Mink was a little concerned when I told her that the howling was from coyotes.
Mad cap and heartwarming.

A Landscape - Poem by Oskar Hansen
A Landscape
Here in this landscape of bushes and crippled
trees, silence speaks of the final peace.
Grotesque dead trees, daylight ghosts, stand there
with grey boughs stretching upward appealing
to a fairytale god, "give us today a new life" but
no, there is only one god he is almighty, and hears
not your fearful whispered wishes, those who do
not understand are doomed to a life of an empty
pursuit for pleasures, crowding nightclubs and
casinos trying to avoid being alone with the night
and facing the truth: we are mortal and heaven is
to be remembered for a while by other mortals.
Faces in a black frame seeing you seeing through
you and into a void. Yet I fear not this landscape as
it is shunned by man and no harm can happen to me
here except the inevitable

Next to incumbent starting quarterback EJ Manuel, Sammy Watkins may be under the most pressure amongst Buffalo Bills players for the 2014 season. By trading their 2015 first round pick to Cleveland to move up from ninth overall to fourth overall this year, the Bills selected Watkins. He will fill the void left by the departure of Stevie Johnson, who was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a draft choice in 2015.
"As an athlete, you have to love the grind," said Watkins. "You have to love what it takes, being out there every day and getting coached up, competing with the guys that your playing with. That's what it is about."
Watkins had a stellar junior season for the Clemson Tigers in 2013. He had 101 catches, 1464 receiving yards, and 12 touchdowns. Those totals would have easily led the Bills in all categories. His speed and ability to run after the catch are welcome additions to a young Bills receiving core. The Bills will look to improve an offense that ranked 22nd overall in 2013. Watkins looks to be a big part of that equation.
Watkins, who participated in rookie minicamp over the weekend, has caught nearly everything thrown his way so far. The Bills were plagued at times last season by drops in crucial moments. Both Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler dropped passed against the Atlanta Falcons on December 1, resulting in a 34-31 loss in overtime.
"It's everything on the line," said Watkins. "That's not just me, that's with the whole team, with the coaches, everybody." "We've got to win now. We can't wait a year or two from now. That's what he (Coach Marrone) is trying to preach."
Bills fan are excited for the potential that Sammy Watkins brings. Whether that potential translates into wins remains to be seen.

Red Saloon Girl Shower Cap
This Shower cap was just way too pretty not to put on my list!
The great thing about this shower cap (apart from keeping your hair dry) is that it brightens up shower time plus you actually look darn good in it - even if I say so myself!!Added 8 Years Ago from Dillydaydream

This book chronicles the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games--games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no longer a boy, but an "it." Dave's bed was an old army co...t in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs refused to eat. The outside world knew nothing of his living nightmare. He had nothing or no one to turn to, but his dreams kept him alive--dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son.Detailed info »« Brief info

UK Property Law
Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
Thanks for your question.
If your property is registered then you will need to complete a TR1 making sure that both your and your son sign it as a deed (ie. properly witnessed) before sending it with Form AP1 to the Land Registry office responsible for registered titles in your area (you can call them to find out which). They will approve the application, register the transfer and then send you evidence of the registration of your son as the new registered proprietor of the freehold title.
Both the AP1 and TR1 form are freely available for download from the Land Registry's website and their customer service support line are very good at providing advice to laypersons making their own applications. You can call them on 0844(NNN) NNN-NNNN:-
If your property is not registered then you will have to deduce the title to your property by sending them the actual deeds. This is a bit more complicated and I would either get a local conveyancer to do it for your, or at least check the application before you send it. If you do not know whether your property's legal title is registered or unregistered then let me know and I will tell you how you can check.
Obviously, if you property is mortgaged then you will not be able to transfer the ownership to your son without having first redeemed the mortgage.
If this has been useful please kindly click accept so that I am rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.
Kind regards,

Dismal economic indicators
The bad news about Pittsburgh is that even the good news is a reflection of what's wrong.
On what's good about our region, for instance, we're told that houses are cheap, the air's cleaner, traffic isn't bad and crime is low.
In fact, each of those allegedly positive indicators is a direct consequence of our long history of political blunders and the subsequent disintegration of the local economy.
Kill off what's left of the local economy, force the young to leave the region for jobs, and we'll have no traffic, even cleaner air, really cheap houses and near-zero crime. Geezers don't do a lot of muggings.
A May 2007 report from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, "Issues Challenging Pennsylvania Small Business," provides some insight into the reason for the economic decline in Pennsylvania and our local region:
"A study examining the liability environments of the 50 states indicates that the environment in Pennsylvania is less favorable than in neighboring states," i.e., the cost of lawsuits and liability insurance is higher. "Pennsylvania ranks 32nd in the 2007 U.S. Chamber of Commerce State Liability Systems Ranking Study. This study looks at how senior attorneys in the business community view the fairness of the court systems in all 50 states. All of Pennsylvania's neighboring states rank better than Pennsylvania in the study. Delaware ranks 1st, New Jersey ranks 26th, Ohio ranks 24th, Maryland ranks 29th and New York ranks 19th."
On workers' compensation insurance costs, 30 states have lower premium rates per employee than Pennsylvania. On the price of health insurance, 37 states have lower costs per employee than Pennsylvania.
"Energy costs in Pennsylvania are generally higher compared to neighboring states." On gasoline taxes, only seven states have higher taxes per gallon. With natural gas, Pennsylvania's price is higher than in the neighboring states of Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey and New York; only Maryland is higher than Pennsylvania.
"Forbes magazine published their first 'The Best States for Business' in August 2006. Pennsylvania ranked a rather dismal 41st overall," i.e., only nine states were worse. In "Business Costs" (the cost of taxes, labor and energy), Pennsylvania ranked 38th. In "Growth Prospects," reflecting projected increases in jobs, investment and income, Pennsylvania ranked 44th.
"On Beacon Hill's 2006 State Competitiveness Report, Pennsylvania ranked 32nd." On Expansion Management magazine's evaluation of state government (how well the state Legislature "minds the store"), Pennsylvania ranked 39th. In the Pacific Research Institute's 2004 Economic Freedom Index (measuring "the right of an individual to keep what he earns, produce what he wants, and compete in product and labor markets of his own choosing"), Pennsylvania ranked 45th.
Taken together, that's an F (or at best a D with some grade inflation) -- and stupidity has its consequences, especially in the case of our section of the state. In population, Southwestern Pennsylvania lost more residents over the past seven years than any other area of the nation outside of hurricane-ravaged New Orleans. With job creation, the rate of local employment growth since 2001 has been consistently lower than the national average and lower than most every other region in the state.
Where Pennsylvania ranks the lowest is on tort costs and reforms, on measures taken to correct the legal abuses under which individuals seek compensation for allegedly wrongful injuries or damages suffered. The Pacific Institute's "U.S. Tort Liability 2006 Index" ranks Pennsylvania 47th -- only Rhode Island, New York and Vermont are worse.
Kevin Shivers, Pennsylvania state director of the National Federation of Independent Business -- the nation's largest small-business organization -- points to the direct link between this lack of legal reform and the state's economic performance: "Small business is the backbone of Pennsylvania's economy, employing half of the state's work force. Tragically, these small employers are just one lawsuit away from bankruptcy."
Shivers notes that all of us pay the high price of lawsuit abuse, in both unemployment and inflation. "Lawsuit filings have tripled in the last 30 years and have increased costs on all fronts," he says. "Junk lawsuits and lottery-sized awards have forced insurance premiums through the roof."
Tom Donohue, president the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, concurs: "The best thing a state can do to attract business is to have a balanced legal system. An unfair legal system sucks the life out of a state's economy."

Yokohama AVID TOURING-S
Initial Review: 8,000 miles on tires
May 21, 2012
I initially bought the tire after extensive research and reading user reviews. I was not thrilled at first, seemed to be alot of tire noise and a bit of a rough ride, which I attributed to being used to running on balding tires, so these would actually have some grip, and the fact that I'm driving an older SUV.
We recently replaced the rear stabilizer links, which were worn and noisy. What a huge difference! Now these tires are amazing, very quiet, and very smooth, minimal road noise. I was OK with the purchase, because you really feel like these ties are gripping the road, now I am very happy and can recommend these tires wholeheartedly.

I left after I finished softmodding my wii. (sorry :() I figured I'd come back more often and check for any new homebrew/disc loading stuff.
I tried that but I got four wierd number things to choose from, so I chose the first one and it froze, and I was like o_O ummm ok..
Thanks this cleared up a lot of questions. :)
But, I tried formatting my USB stick with WFBS manager, and it just said something like
"There was an error while trying to format this drive.."
So i have the USB loader GX channel, and I need help with the actual USB drive.
How do I place the files, do I just place the Iso files directly onto the root of the USB stick? Are any other files...
thanks for showing me around ThetaSigma :)
what exactly does the disc loader do?
thanks, really helpful! :D
I wanted to find a way to play wii roms burned onto a dvd through a Homebrew channel app, without needing a mod chip installed, but I'm not sure about
1. Where to get Iso's to burn onto DVD's...
yes, i did mean an iso, so that I can play Wii games (roms). Not emulators for other consoles, sorry if it seemed like that.
I just registered here today, but I already have Homebrew channel, with a few apps. I heard somewhere that I could download roms and play them safely through HBC without having a mod chip installed...

SeaWorld Ponytail
November 18, 2011 by staff
SeaWorld Ponytail, More than a decade before a killer whale drowned a SeaWorld trainer by pulling her into a pool by her ponytail, the Florida park had chosen to "desensitize" the animals to dangling hair rather than ban it, an employee testified at a federal hearing on Thursday.
The decision came after a trainer from a different SeaWorld park was pulled into the water by a killer whale that grabbed her loose-fitting sweatshirt in 1997, said Kelly Flaherty Clark, curator of animal training at SeaWorld Orlando.
As a result of the sweatshirt incident, the Florida park ordered trainers to wear skin-tight wetsuits around the whales. Recognizing that trainers' ponytails also were susceptible to being grabbed, the park opted to expose whales daily to the hairstyle to get them accustomed to it, Clark said.
But after the 12,000-pound bull orca Tilikum dragged 40-year-old trainer Dawn Brancheau in a pool and killed her last year, SeaWorld began requiring trainers to secure their hair in buns, Clark said.
Clark's testimony came during a hearing in which SeaWorld is challenging workplace safety charges filed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Beside the sneak peek video which explains the close relationship between the boss and his employee, there are also new pictures from the film, capturing Pepper Potts and Black Widow.
Close relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts in "Iron Man 2" is further teased through a fresh featurette. Released by ET Online, the video shows many new footage as well as behind the scenes of the shooting which feature Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow.
"Pepper and Tony are very much in their same vibe - that great bantery, good chemistry kind of thing," Paltrow said in the interview. "This time for the sequel it was like putting on an old pair of shoes. It was great."
"Tony is kind of not fully acknowledging that although Pepper is his professional employee, that there's something there that he will never find with anyone else," Downey Jr. also dished on his and Paltrow's characters. Meanwhile, director Jon Favreau added, "You know, everybody in the audience is like, 'Why don't they just drop it all, because they clearly both adore each other'."
Additionally, new promo pictures from the "Iron Man" sequel have hit the web. Featuring Pepper and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow individually, the shots capture the two characters in similar poses that have been seen in the previously released images but are added with different backgrounds.
Scarlett Johansson is tapped to slip into the Black Widow's costume. Another villain, Ivan Vanko/Whiplash meanwhile is portrayed by Mickey Rourke. Moreover, Don Cheadle is hired to take over the role of James "Rhodey" Rhodes from Terrence Howard.
"Iron Man 2" will follow billionaire inventor Tony who is asked to share his technology after the world knows that he is the man behind the armored superhero Iron Man. Unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces with Pepper and Rhodey at his side. The movie will be dropped in U.S. theaters on May 7.

Guest Columnist
I appreciate Mr. Heinzman's column in last week's paper. He raises a lot of valid questions about the use of force and how the police apply it. Questions about the use of force are natural by the public.
These questions start early in life for a lot of people. In fact, one of the most common questions and sometimes the toughest to answer is asked of me by preschool and elementary kids when I come to the schools to visit them. There is always one or two who point at my gun and ask, "What's that?" Some of them know but want to ask to start the dialog. The second question is, "what do you use it for?"
The use of force is an ever-changing part of police work. From the training to the actual application, situations, new equipment, case law, statutes and department policies all play a part in how the police respond in a force situation. The use of force in police work is not as black and white as it would seem. It is not a rock, but more like clay, constantly being shaped, altered, changed and redefined by the influences that I mentioned earlier.
Each police department has its own response to an investigation when an officer uses force. Typically any use of force used in a situation has a special notation on a report for supervisory review and notification so that they are aware of it. Each department also has its own set of policies that govern their officers in tools, tactics, and response to force issues. Minnesota has a minimum mandatory requirement of training that each department must give their officers every year.
I agree with Mr. Heinzman that the public deserves to know the outcome of an investigation when force is used against someone. I also believe that people need to have an understanding of how the police are trained, not to judge until all the facts are in, withhold comment on a segment of video that television news or someone else has edited, and remember that every cop on the street is a human being and no matter how little or much training and experience they have, that factor will come into play at some time in their decision-making.
Our police department is currently offering a police citizens academy that is aimed in educating and answering a lot of these and other questions on topics such as use of force, police investigations, K-9 use, DWI, traffic enforcement, 911 and who answers the phone, narcotics investigations, and others. There is no obligation at the end of the class. It is only meant to educate and inform the public.
This class is starting on Thursday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. and will run for seven consecutive Thursday nights, ending on Nov. 15. The class is free and held at our police department. I encourage you to look into attending the class to better understand how the police department works. You can contact us at the West Hennepin Public Safety Department at 763-479-0500 or stop by our office and pick up some information at 1918 County Rd. 90 in Maple Plain.
Rick Denneson is a patrolman for the West Hennepin Public Safety Department, which serves Maple Plain and Independence.
