A man on vacation in Australia recently decided to swim at sunset. He waded out to waist deep water and plunged into a wave.
He said the sensation was like diving and then hitting rocks, but that this rock was moving. He was drink at the time, and knows he got off lucky. The croc let him go.
He went to his campsite and slept for 7 hours, then woke up and got to a hospital. He received 40 stitches around his eye and cheek.
I think he has a new lease on life and recognizes it.

This is a damp, cold wet time of year. Some basements are damp or wet as well, and is often the case in older homes. If you have a leak , please get that taken care of, it will not get better on its own and the problem will only become compounded with time.
If your basement is unsealed it may become damp, and we know that darkness combined with moisture and dampness will produce mold. Mold is definitely undesirable and in a few cases downright harmful, one of the worst molds is a variety commonly called “black mold”.
If you got mold, deal with it immediately! It spreads, and fast. Have professionals come and look and give you at least their opinion. You certainly do no want this to overrun your home. You will notice it first by smell. Do not rely on your eyes. If you do indeed smell it, contact a New York mold removal specialist to come and assist you in purging your home of this foul fungi.

These guys rescued a deer that was swimming 1 and a half miles from the shore. What on earth was a deer doing out there?? They think he was swimming all night.
At first they mistook it for a seal and wondered what a seal was doing out that way, after watching it for a time they recognized it for what it was and the deer made a beeline for the boat, presuming it was a bit of land. Once it got close and recognized there was humans there it shied away. But one of the men tossed a lasso on him and reeled him in the boat where the deer collapsed from exhaustion.
They made for the shore and deposited the deer there, with a promise to come see him on “opening day” .

Blinds are in season right now, something about autumn I suppose. Maybe people feel like they are fortifying against winter when they do that. My mother does it too. She gets new Blinds annually. This particular provider of blinds has a great selection and several options depending on your taste and budget. They are the only provider of blinds used on the show Extreme Makeover, so I urge you to browse the site, as you will see the blinds found in the episodes.
I prefer blinds to shades myself, for both the way they look and they way they work. I like the directional ones best as they let in as much light as you let them, and sometimes in direct sun I have real problems seeing my computer screen but, I prefer natural light to electric light, so having the ability to adjust is something I really like.
If you are a fan of blinds too, do yourself the favor and at least look. I guarantee you will find a “must have” on their site.

Jacob Allen the autistic man who wandered away from his family during a camping trip in the West Virginia wilderness was found. He was missing for four long days. His family has been terribly worried, and many many people searched for him.
The problem was compounded by the fact he does not speak, so searchers were told he would not likely call out to them, and they worried they may walk past him. The searchers called out “Come out Jay, we have ice cream for you” in the hope he may come out of anywhere where he may be hiding.
He is 18, but has the faculties of a 4 year old. His mom felt bad they promised
ice cream, but obviously they didnt have ice cream in a remote location. So shes throwing him an ice cream party when they get home.
He was found in a clearing, asleep. He was hungry and weak, but seemed okay other than that.
Rescuers gave him peanut butter sandwiches and candy bars before heading back down the mountain.

While I am not a big fan of dogs, I was completely impressed and totally amazed by the dogs at ccK9.com. They are very meticulous in the dogs they select. They feel that only the top 1% of the breed is capable to be trained, and the only select dogs that were raised by hand by a person that cared for the animal, as opposed to sloppy breeders and wholesalers. So the bottom line is a healthy animal that excels in every way.
Take that fantastic animal and train him with precision and vigor to be protection dogs. It sounds like something simple, but it isn’t, these dogs are truly high end. they have four levels of training, with varying degrees, and you are sure to find the dog that has skills best suited to protect your loved ones within one of the four levels of training.
I looked in depth at the level 4 dog. I was truly amazed. Level 4 dogs are 3 to 4 years old when you get them, and thats 3 to 4 years of training. What is interesting is they will train them to your language. A level 4 dog can protect against multiple armed opponents. It knows to target the weapon hand, and it can be put into aggression mode by a command. The level 4 canine is taught to “bite and fight”.
He can track humans and items by scent. He can do things like an aggression escape. It is capable of doing building searches. He can do his job off a leash even with distractions all around. He will refuse food as per training, this would prevent him being poisoned. he will spot relieve if given the command to do so.
All of this, and he has been socialized to children and other animals and so will be comfortable to being in a home environment. This is not only a trained protector, but also a companion and friend.
Now included with the purchase of this awesome dog is a paid stay in a hotel while you also work with trainer and the animal to be certain that he responds to you as well as he does his trainers. So you can see the capability of the animal in action and see that he does indeed respond to you.

An Italian teacher forced a student to write the Italian equivalent of “I am a retard.” 100 times. He was acquitted in an Italian court of abuse charges recently. I wonder what the student did to get a reaction like that?
In Canada, the National War Memorial (who have they gone to war with anyways??) will have cameras mounted to keep surveillance on the landmark. Apparently 3 kids peed on it this year. They want to prevent that from happening again. But how did they know unless they caught them, and if they caught them without cameras, then what do you need the cameras for?
One of Korea’s top banks has put out a credit card for Christian ministers that will allow discounted Bible purchases and allows the preachers to earn points that can be converted into donations to their church… Odd. I don’t picture preachers as big spenders..

Any person who works on their feet can tell you how very important it is to take care of your feet. If you work in an active or rigorous line of work supporting and protecting your feet is paramount to all else. Your foot gear choices are important and you should put your feet into the best of boots.
Rocky Boots are a premier brand that is adored by those that wear them, juts like Bates Boots are. That is because they are built from high quality materials, and their manufacturers stand behind their outstanding product.
They are comfortable, durable and practical. The ankle support is awesome, and the nylon mesh ( on the styles that have it) is breathable, which if you spend a lengthy time in them, as most will, is a must have feature.
So if your feet are important to you then treat them to soem outstanding boots, and show them how much you love them, your feet will thank you.

In an interesting display of brilliance and insight the state of Florida came up with a plan that might solve some of their unsolved cases.
They are printing cards with the cases on them, missing people, stuff like that. Their intention is to start gossip going from which they can glean information.

Kolbrener is a branding company. What does that mean to you?
It works like this. Branding companies work hard to get your brand famous. How often to we call a product a brand name, instituting that the item is in fact the brand. An example is what does everyone call petroleum jelly, regardless of the manufacturer?
Kohlbrener wants to do this for your products as well. Its a type of advertising and the will increase alot of things in a good and positive way, and most certainly will increase your bottom line.
