Then there was the New Zealand man heading to Singapore in June on a Jetstar flight. He too was reportedly drinking heavily when he decided he had to "go," and go he did -- all over the aisle and fellow passengers. He later apologized but said he remembered none of it.

I suspect an 18-year-old skier aboard a JetBlue flight in August would like to forget his lavatory lapse. The teenager also let loose in the aisle after reportedly indulging in pre-flight alcohol and was taken into custody at New York's JFK International Airport. The gifted Olympic hopeful was kicked off the U.S. Ski Team's development squad.

That same month we also heard about Gerard Depardieu's hijinks on an Air France flight. The actor was told not to use the lavatory as the plane was about to take off so, he didn't -- and soon the aisle was overflowing. According to news reports, Depardieu blamed a bad prostate; a fellow flier reportedly blamed vin ordinaire.

What follows is a list of "Don'ts" for successful plane trips. Let's start with, don't drink so much that you get kicked off the plane. It happens.

In August, a BMI flight to London had to turn back to Russia after a woman began performing an erotic dance in the cabin shortly after the 7a.m. takeoff. According to the Moscow Times, the woman was drunk. By the way, there was also a naked man aboard an Iberia flight in July, but his motivation remains unclear as he consumed no alcohol.

That was not the case with a 25-year-old woman during a Virgin Atlantic flight last month who reportedly downed nearly a pint of whiskey before allegedly grabbing a flight attendant and demanding he have sex with her. At least one UK newspaper described the woman as a teacher.

What Were They Thinking? Worst Drinking-on-a-Plane Incidents


Rick Seaney questions whether alcohol should be banned on planes and writes about how drunken incidents on planes can be embarrassing, dangerous and costly with delayed or diverted flights. (Getty Images)

Sept. 29, 2011

You know something's up when a US Airways flight attendant makes an announcement reminding passengers to "please keep your clothes on." That actually happened a couple of years ago.

Similar warnings would have come in real handy many times since then, thanks to flyers getting naked on planes, or at least partially disrobing. Not so surprisingly, such behavior often involves our old friend alcohol.

I enjoy the occasional in-flight cocktail, but sometimes you have to wonder: is it time to ban alcohol on planes? Take a look at the examples below and you tell me.

I'm also going to mention some "exciting" developments in the wonderful world of soft drinks, so grab a glass and keep reading.

It remains unclear:

    Whether the names were given to the TV station by the NTSB intern (it was the intern’s prank) or whether the intern acknowledged the names provided by the TV station (in which case the intern was incompetent, but we don’t know whose prank it was)

    How in the world the television station got pranked. Even if the names came directly from the NTSB intern, it seems beyond credulity that no one there noticed what they were saying. I have to imagine someone at the station was at least complicit or willfully blind in pulling off the joke.

    Who the intern at NTSB reported to â€" while the TV station may have spoken to an intern, it’s unclear how the intern came to be taking media calls, what sort of training they were providing, and who failed in their supervisory duties. Here an unnamed intern is being thrown under the bus, but an NTSB staff member was presumably in charge of that intern and seems to be getting a pass (at least in terms of public blame).


The Mediaite piece identifying the culprit an an intern concludes, “my sources in the NTSB tell me they’ve identified the summer intern in question as Mike Hunt.”

#20933
My first thought was how could this be possible?

Now we learn that the pilot names were confirmed by a spokesperson for the NTSB. who happens to have been an intern.

    Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.

    The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crewmembers or people involved in transportation accidents to the media.

In case it’s new to you:

How an Intern Was Thrown Under the Bus for the Racist Joke Alleging Asiana 214 Pilot Names

By now the world is aware of a San Francisco television station ‘confirming’ the names of the pilots of Asiana 214 which crashed on landing in San Francisco last weekend.

I first saw the story on Matthew’s blog. Ben covered it as well.

When I saw the clip on YouTube yesterday there were fewer than 1000 views. Now as of this writing there have been nearly 2 million.

Upset that he had effectively been edited out of history, George sued Time-Life, and though he was outspent legally, Yale University professor of photography Richard Benson agreed to examine the photo, along with three others Life made available. Benson concluded that the sailor was, indeed, George, as did the Mitsubishi Electric Research Lab in 1995 (they donated their services as a contribution to history) and forensic anthropologist Norman Sauer, who was contracted by the authors in 2009. Experts agree, through similar forensic analysis, that the “nurse” is Greta. “The Kissing Sailor” has collected all the research in hopes of being the final word on the subject.

The clincher for the authors is the presence of Rita, so long overlooked, quite recognizable in outtakes standing in the background.



She says the photo, like the kiss, has never been an issue in their marriage. “I never gave too much thought to it,” she says. “By the time I knew about it, I’d been married for years.”

Today, Greta Zimmer Friedman lives in Frederick, Md. After the war, she learned that her parents had died in the camps, and she has never returned to Austria.

George and Rita, now married for 66 years, live in Rhode Island, where a copy of the famous photo hangs in their hallway and another downstairs. George says he’d never hang it if his wife didn’t approve â€" “She’s the boss!” â€" and that it’s true the kiss has never been discussed, before the photo’s enshrinement or since.

After all, George says, “I’m still kissing Rita.”

“Rita saw the photo and goes, ‘I think that’s me,’ ” Verria says. “And George goes, ‘Rita, that’s not you. It can’t be you.’ ”

He laughs. “Rita’s very soft-spoken. She lets him take the limelight.”

Greta, by now married with children, had the same reaction as George: She knew it was her. “The seams in my stockings were perfectly straight â€" I was always careful about that,” she says. “And it was my figure, and my hairdo. I was carrying this little tapestry purse that I owned.”

Her husband, now deceased, noticed something else: The odd angle of the woman’s left thumb. According to Verria, Greta’s husband said, “You know, when you get very tense, your arm stiffens up and your thumb sticks out just like that.”

George and Greta were but two of several people convinced that they were Eisenstaedt’s subjects, and the mystery helped cement the image in the American psyche. Yet no real attempt was made to identify the sailor and the nurse until 1987, when Life magazine announced it was selling prints of Eisenstaedt’s photo.

Back then, it was just one of those things: “Obviously, to do that today â€" it’s not such a good idea,” says Lawrence Verria, co-author of “The Kissing Sailor.” “But in Times Square, 1945, they hear the war’s over â€" it’s not such a bad idea.”

None of them knew they had just been photographed by Eisenstaedt, that their picture was about to be published in Life magazine, or that, decades later, multiple men and women would come forward claiming to be that sailor and that nurse.

Life magazine published the photo in the issue that ran right after V-J Day, but not on the cover â€" it was buried on page 27. Over the years, Life ran the image intermittently, but it wasn’t until 35 years later, after editors claimed to have discovered the nurse (they had it wrong), that the photo caught fire.

George saw the photo for the first time in that 1980 issue, and he says, “It was like looking in the mirror.”

Guess whom he didn’t spot?

The kiss did kind of bother someone else, though: the woman in the nurse’s uniform, Greta Zimmer, who wasn’t even a nurse. She was a 21-year-old dental assistant from Queens, who, having heard rumors about the end of the war, walked over to Times Square from her office on Lexington Avenue. George says he was so drunk, he doesn’t even remember the kiss. Greta says she’ll never forget it.

Greta Zimmer was born and raised in Austria, and in 1939, after much debate, her parents insisted that Greta and her two sisters flee to America. They were among the last refugees to make it out, and even on the afternoon of Aug. 14, as Greta read the illuminated news crawl declaring the end of the war, she had no idea where her parents were, or if they were even alive.

She isn’t sure how long she was standing there; maybe minutes. “And then I was grabbed,” she says. “That man was very strong. I wasn’t kissing him. He was kissing me.”

Just as suddenly, he let her go. George stumbled off towards the subway, Rita trailing behind, and Greta walked back to her office. George and Rita never discussed the kiss, nor did Greta tell anyone what had happened to her.

Actually, George has it wrong. It had been three months before, out in the Pacific, aboard the USS The Sullivans. He’d watched on the morning of May 11 as two Japanese kamikaze planes, one after the other, smashed into the nearby USS Bunker Hill, setting off a series of explosions and killing 346 sailors (43 bodies were never recovered). George helped pull hundreds of men, some horribly burned, out of the water, and watched with awe as nurses went to work on them.

So on this joyous and unbelievable afternoon, George ran from Rita â€" the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen â€" grabbed the first nurse he saw, spun her around, dipped her and kissed her. Rita was just steps behind them, and in the photo she’s beaming.

“A lot of people want to know what I was thinking,” she says. “It was a happy day; I was grinning like an idiot. The kiss really didn’t bother me at all. If I had been engaged, maybe.”

They were going to Radio City Music Hall, to a 1:05 p.m. showing of “A Bell for Adano,” starring Gene Tierney as a fisherman’s daughter who falls in love with the US Army major assigned to her war-ravaged Italian village.

George and Rita never saw the end of the movie.

‘There was pounding on the doors from outside on the street,” George says. “They put the lights on and stopped the show and said, ‘The war is over, and the Japanese have surrendered.’ ”

George and Rita flew out of Radio City and right into Childs Bar, just a few blocks away. The bartenders had lined up glasses all along the bar and just kept pouring. “I popped quite a few drinks,” George says.

Then he and Rita went to Times Square, and as they crossed Seventh Avenue at 44th Street, George caught sight of a woman in a nurse’s uniform: “What I remembered about the nurses from five months earlier . . .”

In August 1945, George Mendonsa was 22 years old, a Navy quartermaster on leave from the Pacific theater. He’d dropped out of school at 16 and worked with his dad, a commercial fisherman, in Rhode Island, enlisting in the Navy after the attack on Pearl Harbor: “Every kid my age wanted to get even with the Japanese.”

George didn’t like to talk about what he had seen, or his anxiety about what was coming, which everyone knew was the invasion of Japan. “I had just come back from the Philippines,” George says. “My ship had seen a lot of action. We were sent back to the States until the Army could get strong enough [to attack].”

So instead, he focused on his date with the pretty girl he’d met a few weeks before at a barbecue at his family’s house in Rhode Island; she was related to his new brother-in-law. Her name was Rita. She was just 20 years old and lived with her parents in Queens.

“She was beautiful,” George says. “I think I fell in love with her the first time I saw her.”

The morning of the 14th, George and Rita took the train into Midtown. He was nervous, and he wore his formal Navy uniform â€" the one he’d just had specially tailored at home in Rhode Island â€" and carried the chevron badge he hadn’t had time to affix.

There’s another person in the frame, one nobody even knew to look for, who makes the image that much more poignant: Rita Petry, the future wife of that sailor, George Mendonsa.

“I really liked him, but I didn’t know I was the future wife,” Rita tells The Post. “I guess I thought he looked nice or something.”

To this day, Rita insists that the kiss never bothered her and that the photo, while “nice,” hasn’t changed her life one bit. But much like the photograph itself, nothing is as it seems. “In all these years,” Rita says, “George has never kissed me like that.”

The true story behind the iconic V-J Day sailor and 'nurse' smooch

Couple is together in this timeless pic â€" but it’s not her he’s smooching!

By MAUREEN CALLAHAN
New York Post
June 17, 2012

 


As first dates go, Rita Petry thought this one was pretty great: a beautiful summer afternoon in the city, a matinee at Radio City Music Hall, drinks after, followed by a passionate, soon-to-be-iconic kiss.

Well, maybe not the kiss: Her handsome young suitor, it turns out, planted that on another woman.

Such is the incredible story behind one of the most romantic and enduring photos of the 20th century â€" and one of our most compelling mysteries.

Since Aug. 14, 1945, the identities of the smooching sailor and the nurse in Alfred Eisenstaedt’s Times Square V-J Day photograph have never been determined â€" until the publication, last week, of the book “The Kissing Sailor: The Mystery Behind the Photo that Ended World War II.”

Don't Rely on Supplements

Vitamins may help protect against cancer. But that's when you get them naturally from food. Both the American Cancer Society and the American Institute for Cancer Research emphasize that getting cancer-fighting nutrients from foods like nuts, fruits, and green leafy vegetables is vastly superior to getting them from supplements. Eating a healthy diet is best.

Cooking Methods Matter

How you cook meat can make a difference in how big a cancer risk it poses. Frying, grilling, and broiling meats at very high temperatures causes chemicals to form that may increase cancer risk. Other cooking methods such as stewing, braising, or steaming appear to produce fewer of those chemicals. And when you do stew the meat, remember to add plenty of healthy, protective vegetables.

Water and Other Fluids Can Protect

Water not only quenches your thirst, but it may protect you against bladder cancer. The lower risk comes from water diluting concentrations of potential cancer-causing agents in the bladder. Also, drinking more fluids causes you to urinate more frequently. That lessens the amount of time those agents stay in contact with the bladder lining.

Grapes and Cancer

Grapes and grape juice, especially purple and red grapes, contain resveratrol. Resveratrol has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The Cancer-Fighting Breakfast

Folate is an important B vitamin that may help protect against cancers of the colon, rectum, and breast.  You can find it in abundance on the breakfast table. Fortified breakfast cereals and whole wheat products are good sources of folate. So are orange juice, melons, and strawberries.

Fighting Cancer With Color

Fruits and vegetables are rich in cancer-fighting nutrients -- and the more color, the more nutrients they contain. These foods can help lower your risk in a second way, too, when they help you reach and maintain a healthy body weight. Carrying extra pounds increases the risk for multiple cancers, including colon, esophagus, and kidney cancers. Aim for at least five servings a day, prepared in a healthy way.

Cancer-Fighting Foods



Fighting Cancer by the Plateful

No single food can reduce your risk of cancer, but the right combination of foods may help make a difference. At mealtimes, strike a balance of at least two-thirds plant-based foods and no more than one-third animal protein. This "New American Plate" is an important cancer fighting tool, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. Check out better and worse choices for your plate.

as for taxi drivers, ayaw na lang gyod kun sa manila.  bisan sa cebu, naa gyod intawoy purya pa.  it may still take a generation for taxi drivers in our big cities here to become courteous and professional.

sa airport sa manila, always take the yellow airport taxi, bahalag taas ug linya ug ang flagdown 70 pesos.  ayaw anang naay reps (kanang manawag) kay lupig pay limousine ang presyo.  ayaw pod anang imo lang parahon kay i-tour ka ug isaag.

true gyod uy.  kapila na baya ko maleksyone ani.  moingon kog kapila kay ang mahay awahi.  as usual, there is genius in hindsight.  nasuong kog dagkong problema kay gagmay nga bikil akong gidaginot.

pareha ani tawon... surely, it was a matter of principle on the part of the american.  he didn't like it that he felt he'd been had.  51 baht couldn't kill him.  what he didn't figure out was the one who wanted the 51 baht could kill him, and he did.

thanks again, lorenz.  all my pets are vaccinated annually.  but some do catch colds now and then, despite the fact that they are all indoor pets.  their sheer number is unthinkable to most.  our place may as well be an animal shelter.  that's why i'm afraid.  anyhow, the cats never get the chance to step on soil (except their cat litter area, the soil of which is not soil but the cat litter kind that is sold in pet shops) and the dogs get to step out only twice a day for their dog walks.  i cannot be assured that my pets are sterilized. 

please continue to pray for my sister.  include my cats and dogs in your petitions, please. 
#20997
thanks as ever, lorenz.  an aside, is it true that all our pets have to go when there's someone on chemo?

On a serious note, patients with manic depression who manifest with audio visual hallucinations are serious threats to themselves and to others around them. Thus, it is important that they be taken to a psychiatric department and be placed under surveillance and given antipsychotic medication. Daghan tawo nga wa gitreatan kai wa gi diagnose or misdiagnosed.

My posting was a general statement regarding any individuals manifesting symptoms and signs with bipolar disorder, this statement was not meant to offend any certain individuals here.

Please don't take anything out of context.


Kindly,
I remain,
