No more Verizon-LandLine?

I did the same thing several months ago, that being I canceled my land-line service. I just didn't use it much and the allowable minuets on my cell phone service are more than even necessary to meet my needs as for a telephone. And now the Verizon CEO realizes this, in years to came I'd say a land-line will just disappear.

Verizon Boss Hangs Up on Landline Phone Business

By Saul Hansell

Roll over in your grave, Alexander Graham Bell.

David Becker/Reuters Ivan Seidenberg

That was in effect what Ivan Seidenberg, the chief executive of Verizon Communications -– one of the largest descendants of the old Bell System — declared this morning.

Speaking to a Goldman Sachs investor conference, Mr. Seidenberg said Verizon was simply no longer concerned with telephones that are connected with wires.

All traditional phone companies are suffering because many customers are canceling their landlines in order to use phone service from their cable companies or simply to rely on their cellphones. Speaking earlier at the Goldman conference, Randall Stephenson, chief executive of AT&T, and Ed Mueller, head of Qwest Communications, both talked about seeing a day when their landline businesses would stop shrinking.

Mr. Seidenberg said that his “thinking has matured” and that trying to predict when the company would stop losing voice landlines “is like the dog chasing the bus.”

In other words, that snipping sound you hear around copper phone lines is just going to get louder.

This prospect, however, doesn’t rattle him.

Not only does Verizon control the largest mobile phone company in the country, it has also largely moved away from copper wires. Verizon is selling off most of its operations in rural areas and is spending billions to wire most of the rest of its territory with its fiber optic network, or FiOS.

FiOS, of course, offers voice calling as well as video and Internet service, but from now on, traditional phone service will be more of an add-on than the centerpiece of Verizon’s offerings to consumers (much as voice service is treated today by cable firms).

“Video is going to be the core product in the fixed-line business,” Mr. Seidenberg declared. And the focus will move from selling bundles of video and landline to video and cellphones, he added.

By converting most of its landline operation to FiOS, Mr. Seidenberg said Verizon had a new opportunity to cut costs sharply. FiOS uses the decentralized structure of the Internet rather than the traditional design of phone systems, which route all traffic through a tree of regional, then local offices.

“We don’t look any different than Google,” he said. “We can begin to look at eliminating central offices, call centers and garages.”

Mr. Seidenberg said that he was just beginning to work through the implications of this and that he planned to reorganize the company in order to emphasize this strategy. He told investors it may take a year or two for the financial impact to be apparent.

Mr. Seidenberg criticized himself for not seeing this sooner. “I could have done a better job of accelerating the idea that fiber creates productivity opportunities,” he said.

But Mr. Seidenberg also talked of the psychological lift he had gotten from finally escaping from the shadow of the legendary Bell.

“Once I shed myself of the burden of chasing the inflection point in access lines and say ‘I don’t care about that anymore,’ I am actually liberated,” he said.

This week in the end.

Well it has been a very interesting week.

The PPE has grown to numbers that are unbelievable for a small town local blog thanks to folks dedicated in searching and finding 'truth'

We have welcomed on board an international professional that is working behind the scenes to find the "truth"

Amazingly, the PPE's (readers) have brought questions and answers to some very controversial topics, you guys and gals have asked questions and demanded answers, y'all have searched the internet and sought out people that is in the know and brought good honest responses to things that were so far fetched it was like a twilight zone flick, but you found the truth.

That my friends is what it's all about, not only on the topic of the week, but anything in the MSM (drive by media)

Some have stepped on you but you kept on keeping-on.

We all know that somewhere in the middle of both sides of the issues lies the truth, and how many "truths" did you find this week? Several.

Even though we have been labeled the dark horse we just pressed-on that much harder.

There's no way I could do this on my own, and thanks to you (PPE's) when a main page post appeared it was a collaboration of everything you contributed then confirmed with permission.

All I can say is thank-you to all that used their personal time to seek and expose those that for whatever reason seam to want to invent a conspiracy.

Next week should be just as interesting as we wait on chapter 2

Thank you,

When does a cop know he doesn't need the Alcohol Breathalyzer

Shocking!!

Every since I had my second episode that put me down I have been getting a sensation of feeling like I get shocked.. like an electrical shock.

In the last couple of weeks this shocking has started to be more frequent and more intense. And it hurts.

Starting yesterday it has gotten really bad and I can actually hear it in my head, when I first started hearing this noise I was looking for where the noise was coming from in the room until I left the room and it followed me everywhere and then I noticed I was getting shocked in conjunction with this noise

The louder the noise, the more intense that shocking feeling...

it's so bad that it actually takes control of my movements and I can't counter control them.

BTW: I can also feel this in my eye's

anyone ever heard of such crap? Is this "POX"? just kidding about the "POX" of course.

Common Sense

Obituary of Common Sense

MY parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by. Today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance, for Common Sense had served us all so well for so many generations.

Obituary
Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student, but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm a Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Last Episode of the Guiding Light

Today, after 72 years the Guiding Light will cease to guide its fans any longer.

Although I am not 72 years of age, the Guiding Light has been one of my two

favorite soaps for many years. It is how, on some days, I know what time it is

without the use of a clock. Three o'clock........Guiding Light.

After today no more Reva. I suppose in the years gone by I have witnessed every

wedding she has had. I worried about her stranded on that desert island for so long.

I was intrigued when she found out she had a "clone' sister. When a long lost son appeared I was stumped! When Reva was mad I

supported her. Reva always seemed to have it all and most importantly Reva loved

Josh.

So after today there will be no Springfield. The Spaldings will be gone. No more Buzz Cooper and Company Resturant. Even the Beacon Hotel will be gone. So will Lillian, Allen Michael and that mean old dastardly Allen Spalding. And say goodbye to Josh's brother Billy, the recovered alcoholic with the heart. The list of wonderful characters is endless.

Seventy-two years of the Guiding Light. That would date back to around WWII, I guess. That's alot of episodes. That's an awful lot of years that were used to reflect the lives of real people.

From from 3:00 until 4:00 today I will seated in front of the television to watch the final episode (commercials and all) of The Guiding Light who has been my friend for so many years.

Then on Monday I'll turn the television off at 3 P.M. It will still be 3:00 but I won't need the tv at that time anymore.

Guiding Light fans know what I'm talking about.

The light at the Beacon Hotel has ceased to shine.

Recap; 3view search project

I figured I'd put this back to the top for discussion as requested.

Some recent discussion and search on my part shows 3view as a legit organization. I was offered a 1 on 1 interview with 3view but I declined on conformation of their legitimacy.

If the readers would like I will gladly accept that interview for more information but I see no need. 3view does need the go-ahead request from the LE.

Lets focus on getting 3view that permission.

Discuss;

From 9/1/09

Sean Henady, speaking exclusively to blinkonrime this afternoon:

Our asisstance has been requested in the efforts to locate Christine Sheddy. Our analysts have begun some preliminary mapping and review of the case.

Their have been prior searches launched by the investigative efforts of the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation; so we are hopful to asisst in the great work they have already put forward as required.

It is the policy of 3View that we do not discuss search dates, specific locations, technology assets, or team deployments outside of Law Enforcement.

An Antidote for Bank Robbery

Finally,A New Approach

Have you gone into a bank lately and noticed anything different?

During my recent travels I noticed a bank in Albuquerque invited me, via a sign on the door, to “Please remove your sunglasses so we can smile at you!” At a bank in Los Angeles I was greeted by not one but three employees who looked me directly in the eye and chanted a hearty, “Good afternoon!” Maybe you have noticed how suddenly friendly and accommodating your bank staff has become.

Why is that? Have banks suddenly realized that to engage the unfamiliar customer might be a good way of thwarting robberies?

Willie Sutton once famously and matter-of-factly said he robbed banks because “that’s where the money is!” He probably wasn’t the first to realize that tellers and their stashes of cash were an easy target.

Repeat Offenders Aren't Rare

In these times of economic hardship, as the nation’s unemployment rate hovers at a 26 year high, I wondered what the rate of bank robberies is these days.

Actually, despite our dire economic situation, the latest FBI figures show a slight decline in bank holdups nationwide. But there are still regions of the country experiencing a boon in bank robberies.

In Colorado, for example, the feds just rounded up Michael Alan Kincade and Christopher Lee Richardson who are suspected of robbing as many as 17 banks in four states. They’re now in custody and facing up to 20 years in prison. The FBI gave Kincade the nickname “Shaggy Bandit” after surveillance tape from the scene of the crimes showed he looked like the character Shaggy from the Scooby-Doo cartoons. Now that Shaggy and his cohort are behind bars officials believe the spike in Rocky Mountain area bank robberies will go way down.

Bank robbers are often repeat offenders. And why wouldn’t they be? All banks have a policy (based on advice from the FBI) for employees not to resist a robbery attempt, rather, to simply hand over cash and not make a fuss while the crime is being committed. To do otherwise, security experts have long preached, could provoke violence and leave innocent customers, employees and bystanders injured or dead.

A victimized teller’s only weapon has been the silent alarm (after activation the criminal is usually long gone before help arrives) or a well placed exploding dye pack in amongst the cash. Neither is designed to stop a robbery – only to make the getaway more difficult. Banks have long been sitting ducks for anyone with enough guts to walk in and demand money via a passed note or at gunpoint.

Teller Extraordinaire, Jim Nicholson

Imagine the surprise, then, of the bank robber who entered a branch of Seattle’s Key Bank back in July. He probably thought it was going to be an easy score. But when he demanded his bag be filled with money, “This is a ransom,” he inexpertly declared, the teller sensed a neophyte. Bank employee Jim Nicolson tossed the bag on the floor, jumped the counter and chased the man out the door and down the street. Nicolson and a bystander held the suspect, who had a record of convictions for theft and robbery, until police arrived to take him into custody. What a hero that Nicholson was – right? Nope, not in the eyes of Key Bank. Nicholson was fired for acting on his instincts. His response was definitely not typical.

It’s strange to me that banks would have clung to their do-nothing policy for so many years. That attitude almost certainly insured a robber would escape to rob again. As Larry Carr, Special Agent with the Seattle Office of the FBI put it, “Every bank robbery is every bank’s problem.”

With that in mind Agent Carr joined with Washington state law enforcement a couple years ago to design a new way of dealing with potential bank robbers. It’s called SafeCatch and it’s been described as “customer service on steroids.” The idea is spreading nationwide.

Ahhh. So that’s what I’ve been experiencing. Tellers have suddenly become pro-active!

The Latest Crime Fighting Tool

Instead of standing behind the counter hoping the strange looking customer who just walked in the door

isn’t there to rob the place bank tellers trained in SafeCatch techniques approach and engage. They introduce themselves, ask the person’s name, offer to help with any transaction they might need and continue the face to face contact throughout the person’s stay. This disarming attention has been cited for the 50% reduction in the number of bank robberies in Washington state.

If you’re a regular customer this one-on-one consideration is a welcome development. If you’re teetering on the brink of committing a bank robbery the personal attention may make you simply slink away. You wouldn’t shoplift an apple if the store clerk was watching would you?

Gee, customer service as a crime fighting tool. Who would’a thunk it?

GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR

I have not searched this out, nor have I tried it... but I will, it can't hurt.

How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.
We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily.

This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it.

It is useful...even driving at night.

Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers
during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windscreen is still bad......

In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle!

All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windscreen is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.

Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not
only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save
your friend's life by giving him this idea..

This even works in a blinding snow storm, you can even see the tracks of another vehicle long after it has been through.

Try it yourself and share it with your friends

There's an Out of Town Odor (Part 1)

Odor on Nictitate
By Odor Eliminator

Prelude:
Most of us “locals” are aware of Christine Sheddy’s disappearance and many of us have offered assistance in finding her in some shape or form. An entire community has reached out to her family and embraced them in their efforts to find Christine. Even the lowliest, kind thought or prayer has been worthy.

Chapter One:
The Characters

Ohhhh and Ahhhh, we’ve really got a juicy story for you.

Just in case you haven’t been following, I’m referring to the newest drama running riot over the Christine Sheddy case. The disappearance of Christine is being spun into a tale of “oh-my- gosh conspiracy” in every nook and cranny of Pocomoke City, Worcester County, and possibly the State of Maryland.

Along comes a spider named Nictitate. She’s spinning a tale from whatever scrap of information, whether it be true or false, with an agenda that has nothing to do with finding Christine. Dissatisfied opinions of local government or politicians and self satisfying needs to blame or bash someone or anyone, further a conspiracy theory.

Nictitate is writing a story about Christine’s case posing as an investigator, telling some she is a detective, and who in reality is a self proclaimed investigative journalist. Adding to the suspense of the story, Nictitate releases one chapter at a time. Why one chapter at a time? In doing so it allows for all of her groupies to comment and speculate and for local blogs to post the chapter. Links are everywhere and always redirect to Nictitates website where she racks up hits.

After each chapter is released bloggers run amok posting questions, comments, and going so far as having cyber arguments. Dissenters of the agenda are quickly “slapped down” by either Nictitate or one of the groupies.

Chapter 1 of the tale starts off with background information and a peek into the private life of Christine. While there could be many reasons for this introduction “exploitation” comes to mind. For the life of me, I can’t imagine why I would discuss or give information to a complete stranger about one of mine without knowing exactly who that stranger is, what they are, and what they want it for.

Now I know that I’m going to catch the devil for that last comment but it’s something that needs to be said. The real “case” is about the disappearance of Christine Sheddy, finding her, and apprehending those responsible for her disappearance. PERIOD!

Christine’ relationship, good or bad, with Levi Hall should remain personal. Unless of course, Nictitate is saying that Levi Hall is a suspect in the disappearance of Christine Sheddy and that their personal life is pertinent to the case.

We can go back and read the chapters of the tale being spun by Nictitate however reading the posts from bloggers is much more interesting. Although it gets quite confusing trying to follow along if you have the time and patience you will find yourself getting the picture.

Nictitate claims to have “eyewitness” accounts and insider information and the tale is supposedly spun from these accounts. We know better. The real people, who Nictitate has written off to being inbred hillbillies, or some such thing, are the “eyewitnesses” and have not given any information for Nictitate to spin her tale from.

Odor Eliminator has decided to search for the truth of the matter and contribute the findings to the Pocomoke Public Eye. It’s expected to get hairy once the groupies jump in so hold on to your seat. Nictitates tale will be analyzed as well as many untruths posted on blogs along the way. The conspiracy will be “outed” and as Paul Harvey used to say, “now you know the rest of the story”. I know that some of you are impatient but sifting through the tale takes time.

Coming next – Odor on Nictitate, Chapter Two: a Who’s Who in the Nictitate Tale

You may not copy and paste, dissect, snip, or use any of OE’s writings in any part or its entirety without prior written consent.

Banned From ScaredMonkys.com

Well folks the real truth IS raring it's head just as we said.

We will uncover bits and pieces until it's all on the table.

I replied to a post on scaredmonkeys today because someone said that Homegrown and I were one and the same. I was nice and I let them know that Homegrown did live here in Pocomoke, but I assured them that we were different people.

Now these are the mighty righteous that came here and the tattler and bash or town and it's people and preach that THEY are nothing but all about Christine. I don't think anyone here has ever said anything but good about Christine and family yet they are determined to plant that seed, something else that will come out in the wash.

Later I went back just to read and I have been banned. Why? Read-on.

Sorry Public Eye, you are banned from using this forum! For talking bad about Blink ------------------------------------------------------- Hmmm? I never talked bad about Blink on SM, I'm not sure I have here. But I also see now that I'm guilty by association, and that I was banned for allowing new friends to this blog, so SM wants to dictate my friends and who I can associate with across the internet... yeah that's good caring folks alright. That also tells me that on SM they must assume that if a person is killed by their associate that they must be as guilty as the murderer in their eyes at SM, I'm not assuming here, that is clearly what the owner of the forum said [quote] "Public Eye has been banned from SM. Any friend of XXXXX is no friend of mine." [unquote] And a warning to the scaredmonkeys visitors, when I made my last post there today, one of the stupid pop-us gave me a virus. Trend Micro picked it up but I still got a Virus from their site.

Oh and BTW. has anyone besides me noticed that everything, everyone was just fine and dandy until one person was injected into this? After that... well we are now traitors, cheats, liars that use multiple screen names, "inbreed hillbilly's"

The IP and Username Challenge

Being I would not go away like I was so rudely demanded to do, and by someone that is 'supposed' to be a Christine advocate and happened to become jealous that I was finding more information than they could I give you this post.

What happened next was that I put-up a post here on TPPE in defense of our VFD men and women being accused of a cover-up or conspiracy and at that point I was accused of suddenly being against this investigation and Christines family.

This is when 'they' accused me of using multiple screen names and that I was actually arguing with myself.

This only has one purpose and that is to try to discredit me for whatever twisted reason, who knows?

Ok.. so lets get to this IP username challenge.

I'm posting my IP and info from the forum that I admin and I have almost 15,000 post.

I'm not posting this to prove my innocence, I know the truth! What I am doing is posting this so those other sites will have the chance to prove to you all that I am lying IF THEY CAN, which I already know they can't and wont because it was all lies concockted for whatever reason.

Now first I'll put-up my profile from the Motor-Mouths forum that I admin.
click the image to enlarge

Next I took a screen shot of my username AND IP while no other users were online as not to capture their IP.
click this image to enlarge

Now there it is for anyone to look-up with a number of free internet IP search tools.

Now below is a REAL explanation of how AOL IP's actually work.
In short, AOL transmits the IP of the closes server being used by however many users from that pool of IP's
----------------------------------------------------------------------

AOL users don't access your server directly, they have to go through proxies. An arbitrary number of users will be routed through the same proxy at any one time. What makes things even worse is that AOL tends to rotate their users through several proxies during the same session. It is not uncommon that successive page requests by the same user come from different IPs.

In other words: With users coming from AOL, there is no clear correlation between a person and an IP address. What you see in your logs is *not* the IP assigned to the users machine at that time. That doesn't mean that those "several" visitors can't be the same person, just that the IP isn't giving you any solid indication. All you know for sure that they're coming through AOL.

does that explain 4 people sharing 4 different IPs?

absolutly - any sort of connection sharing will allow more than one simultaneous user to appear to be from the same IP.

So if they're using a router set up to do NAT (Network Address Translation) or even a modem on a PC sharing its internet connection, they will all look as if they've all got the same IP.

Most dial-up and DSL connections will give you a different IP each time you conect.
I guess it would be a little odd if a DSL connection was being disconnected / reconnected very frequently. But it's still possible.

So yes, a group of several users all from the same simultaneous IP at the same time, then a little later from the same IP, but different from what is was before.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So there it is, now I challenge any site or accusing user from those sites for that matter to match my IP to another user with the SAME info as mine. Remember AOL Ip's are routed to a local servers IP. NOT static IP's so several IP's can and will be the same depending on where they are routed by the service provider.

Apologies welcome

What Were They Thinking

Sunrise Family Market and Pizzeria in Exmore Busted

Two local businessmen were sentenced to probation Monday in Norfolk Federal District Court after pleading guilty to trafficking thousands of cartons of contraband cigarettes as part of a plea bargain. Judge Raymond A. Jackson dismissed other related charges against Senel Cuce, 29, of Melfa, co-owner of Sunrise Family Market and Pizzeria in Exmore, and his manager, Ali Riza Zulam, 41, of Pocomoke City, Md., after the prosecution asked for the move, according to court records. The two were placed on probation for three years, given a special assessment of $100 and ordered to pay nearly $39,000 in restitution, the amount that would have been assessed in taxes had the cigarettes been sold legally in other states. They were also reportedly placed on five months of home detention with electronic monitoring. The counts that were dropped included conspiracy criminal forfeiture; trafficking in contraband; and recordkeeping, reporting and inspections charges. According to court documents, the term “contraband cigarettes” means more than 10,000 cigarettes that “bear no evidence of the payment of applicable state or local cigarette taxes in the state or locality in which the cigarettes are found.” Since 2006, Atlantic Dominion Distributors, a cigarette wholesaler in Virginia Beach has served as the principal distributor to Sunrise. Sunrise legally sells a small quantity of cigarettes in Virginia each month, the court records show. In May of 2008 the quantity of cigarettes sold to Sunrise “dramatically increased.” According to an indictment, the illegal activity occurred between September 2008 and March 2009. In all, the men reportedly sold 2,000 cartons of contraband cigarettes from the store. They admitted to selling hundreds of cartons of cigarettes at a time to black marketers who would deliver them to New York and Pennsylvania, where cigarette taxes are much higher. The two were reportedly arrested earlier this year after selling contraband cigarettes to undercover federal agents. Zulam and Cuce reportedly made $10 profit per carton they sold on the black market.

107-year-old woman seeks 23rd marriage

'Intention to re-marry is to fill my forlornness'

Published : Tuesday, 15 Sep 2009, 9:17 AM EDT

A 107-year-old Malaysian woman says she wants to get married for a 23rd time because she fears her current husband is going to leave her, BBC News reports .

Four years ago, Wook Kundor married Muhamad Noor Che Musa , who was 33 at the time, setting the record for largest age disparity in a legal marriage.

Muhammad Musa said he married Kundor for love, not money. He added that he initially felt sympathy for his bride because she was old and alone, but over time, respect and friendship turned to love. Kundor's only asset is her deep religious knowledge, he said.

But Muhammad Musa is in Kuala Lumpur getting treatment for drug addiction, and Kundor now fears her husband will not return home after completing rehab.

She told reporters she is lonely without her husband. "I realize I am an aged woman. ... My intention to re-marry is to fill my forlornness, and nothing more than that," Kundor said.

Many celebrities have married much younger partners . In most cases the man is older, like Tony Randall (50 years older than Heather Harlan) and Woody Allen (35 years older than Soon-Yi Previn), but a few women like Martha Raye (33 years older than Mark Harris) and Demi Moore (15 years older than Ashton Kutcher) have married much younger men.

All I can say is bless her heart!

Is Facebook Fan Check app a virus?

Several outlets are urging caution

Published : Tuesday, 15 Sep 2009, 9:36 AM EDT

Last week Facebook users flocked to download the new "Facebook Fan Check" app, which creates a list of top friends based on how much friends write on walls, comment on photos and more. But many are worried that the app is a virus.

One Facebook status people are posting on their pages on Monday reads, "Urgent!!! The fan Check application is a Virus that takes 48 hours to kick in. Even if you are tagged in a photo the virus still attacks you. Please inform all your friends remove / delete this application ASAP.... rewrite this message and or copy and paste to all your friends."

But several outlets are urging caution. PC Magazine reported last week that the app itself doesn't have the virus -- it's the many Web sites that are being set up that falsely claim to remove a virus from Fan Check that users should watch out for. People are searching for information about fan check online and getting results pages full of malware sites.

"Hackers have set up Web sites pretending to be about the 'Facebook Fan Check Virus,' but which really host fake anti-virus software which display bogus warnings about the security of your computer in an attempt to get you to install fraudulent software and cough-up your credit card details," wrote Graham Culley, a senior technology consultant on Sophos, last Monday .

Facebook Fan Check creator Janakan Arulkumarasa maintained that it's not the app that has the problems . It "is NOT a malicious app. Unfortunately, some malicious developers have been spreading a lie that is -- and encouraging people to download fake virus scanning software, which damages their computer. This is very unfortunate, but has nothing to do with us," he said.

Networkworld reports that a Facebook spokesperson said that the company had reviewed the app and it wasn't found to contain a virus.

Last Tuesday the Facebook Fan Check page listed 12.5 million monthly active users, according to Networkworld. Later that afternoon, users dropped to 6.4 million.

The Sharks are Circling

Dear Readers,

Late last year Tom invited me to be a contributor to his newly created blog...but I have not made any contributions as I am very busy and currently write for two blogs of my own.

I was very flattered that he thought enough of me to ask me to contribute and have often felt bad that I haven't been able to do so.

Over the past week many disturbing developments have transpired regarding the Christine Sheddy case and I cannot even begin to explain how or why they are happening, but I know this...there are people out there who are posing as multiple persons and are arguing with themselves online as a different identity to stir the waters and confuse the issue.

I have committed myself to finding Christine, and I will not let the vieled threats that I have seen posted by anonomous commentors on this site aimed at my husband stop me.

The fact of the matter is Billy has been very very busy and I have been the one who has been doing the writing. So if you want to threaten someone, then you should threaten me.

This case is not about Billy's issues with the city, this is about a mother who was possibly murdered on a farm on the outskirts of our town and to insinuate anything else is petty beyond words, and then to top it off one of your commentors had the nerve to say that McDermott probably didn't say what he said to Lynn! Are Effing kidding me? He said it to me as well. He and I spoke for nearly an hour about this on two occasions, and he spoke horribly of this family. So go ahead and believe your lying Mayor now to, and get him in the State House, maybe that will heal this 'sick little town' as your Mayor calls it.

I have laid down the law on my site about posting under more than one alias, because the ability has been abused, and I will no longer allow it.

This being said, I will also encourage Tom to no longer accept anonymous comments on his site, because threats should not be taken lightly, nor be allowed to be posted by someone who doesn't have the guts to put thier name to what they have to say.

Each and everyone of you that have read the Tattler know this...Billy and I stand beside every single thing that we say, and we don't hide behind multiple screen names. Everyone who has read the Tattler knows that Boss Hogg is Billy, and I am Wymzie, as both of our profiles lead to pictures of us both and our real names if their is a question.
My posistion on finding Christine has never changed, I have committed to the family the use of the Tattler in any way that I can to help get the word out about her murder.
At this point in time Blink is helping them, and I am linking to her site.
Over the last couple of days the I have felt for the very first time fear for my well being and I do not like it nor appreciate it.
Therefore, from this point forward, I will no longer be associated with this website and will remove my name from it.
Additionally, I respectfully ask that Tom remove the link that he has on this site to the Tattler.

The Sharks are circling in the water folks, and the worst of them are the ones who say such vile things that wont even say who they are.
Each and every one of you who have paid the least little bit of attention know who I am, and what I stand for, and Billy and I have put our money and lives where our mouth is.

I don't appreciate the petty implications that some of you have made, aa I have done nothing but try and bring truth and justice to our town.

I mean please what is the payoff here? We aren't getting paid for it, as a matter of fact we pay a lot of money each year to keep this thing going.

I don't want any sympathy as one of your anonymous posters stated that they used to feel for us. I want you to understand that you are being lied to yet one more time.

You get more upset about a person who has a public record being outed than you care about a young womans who very life was stolen in our backyard.

God Help All of Us,
Stephanie Burke

We are delighted to have Tricia Griffith on board with The Pocomoke Public Eye and I believe she will bring positive and informative post for our reading pleasure.

Grant to Pocomoke for two new police cruisers

Good news, looks like we will be getting a couple new patrol cars coming to the PCPD. I have been wondering lately when they would replace the couple old jalopies we have cruising around.
Now if we can just keep them in town, please!

U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin L. Cardin (both D-Md.) announced today the City of Pocomoke has been awarded a $33,750 USDA Rural Development grant to purchase two additional police cruisers for the town. They will replace vehicles that are almost a decade old.

“As the pressures on our state and local law enforcement agencies increase, we must do what we can to give our first responders the resources they need to do their job safer and smarter,” Mikulski said. “I am proud that this money will be used to keep the streets of Pocomoke safe, and I will continue to fight in the U.S. Senate for grants like these that support our communities.”

“First responders are on the front lines every day, keeping our families and our neighborhoods safe from harm. I thank these brave men and women for their continuing service and sense of duty to our community,” Cardin said. “I am proud to support the Pocomoke City police through federal grants like this that will enable them to purchase the equipment and resources that are needed.”

Rural Development was created to help improve the economy and quality of life in rural America. Financial programs support essential public facilities and services such as water and sewer systems, housing, health clinics, emergency service facilities and electric and telephone service. The program also promotes economic development by supporting loans to businesses through banks and community-managed lending pools.

Man guilty of assaulting girl, 9, in Pocomoke

An Ohio man was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old relative while staying with friends in Pocomoke City.

After about an hour of deliberation, the jury issued a guilty verdict to Rodney P. Morton, 34, on the charges of third-degree sexual assault and second-degree assault stemming from the May 22 incident.

Morton will be sentenced later this year after a pre-sentencing investigation is completed. He is currently released on $50,000 bond.

According to testimony in Worcester County Circuit Court, on the night of the incident, Morton carried his sleeping daughter from his room and put her to bed in the next room over.

But before leaving the room, he "put his hands down her shorts," said Assistant State's Attorney Diane Cuilhe, causing injury to her genitals.

Morton's daughter, who was awake at the time but with her eyes closed, testified that she watched her father leave the room. About five seconds later, she started crying, soon drawing the attention of other people in the Walnut Street house.

"I don't know why he did it," the 9-year-old said in court, describing her father as having sharp fingernails. "I don't know if he meant to do it, but he did it ... It really hurt. I didn't know what to do."

Morton, who has had full custody of his child for the last several years, claimed it never happened. After carrying his daughter to bed, he said he adjusted her shorts, which had shifted up her body, tucked her in and left the room.

"As far as I'm aware, I didn't come anywhere close to that area," Morton said.

The 9-year-old told her mother, who lives in Tennessee, the following morning. She drove up to collect her daughter and took her to Atlantic General Hospital, where a nurse found the injury. The girl now lives with her mother.

Charges were filed against Morton on May 24.

"I was quite shocked," Morton said. "It does bother me that my daughter would accuse me of doing this."

“as to why she is no longer on Websleuths….you din’t do enough reading because you would have found that she exposed a sex offender as a moderator , and wished to no longer put her posts in their hands.”

My name is Tricia Griffith and I own Websleuths.com

The above comment is an out and out lie. I banned Blink. No need to go into the reasons but the only reason Blink quit posting was because I blocked her from doing so.

As far as the sex offender, it was someone not associated with Blink who dug up the information on one of our administrators. As soon as I was made aware of this Admin’s sex crime against children I banned her and never spoke to her again. Blink had NOTHING to do with this at all.

If Blink had information about this sex offender and never told anyone then she was extremely irresponsible. I know Blink never told me.

Moment of Silence This Morning

Obama observing moment of silence for 9/11 victims

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will lead the country in pausing to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Nearly 3,000 people died on that tragic day eight years ago as hijacked jetliners smashed into New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in western Pennsylvania.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama will observe a moment of silence Friday at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Time, the moment the first jetliner struck the World Trade Center.

Then the president will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon memorial, where 184 people were killed.

Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates are to meet with victims' relatives

We Will Always Remember !

A comment worthy of a post.

From an anonymous poster;

I think it is about time that the citizens of Pocomoke and surrounding area take a stand to protect your wonderful fire fighters and law enforcement! I have never heard any complaints in my life about either unless it happened in their personal lives and that is seldom, very seldom, to none!

And while you are at it, take another look at Pocomoke itself. Don't you think it's about time you took a stand for the Mayor? That may be hard to understand but he is under attack in this situation too. The agenda that started out to find thugs that possibly murdered a girl has turned into a witch hunt for everyone in Pocomoke.

The mother of the missing girl and Billy Burke have not gotten the answers they want when they want them, it seems. In order to prove some point this so called investigator has been called in to investigate. She and her goons are not investigators!!!

My thoughts? I think law enforcement has finished their investigation and under the circumstances are not talking. Can't say I blame them.

Wake up Pocomoke. Do something. Don't let this smear the town. Don't let the rest of America think that your town is being driven by hoodlums in a fire department, cops that rule where ever they please and a city hall that spirts venom to its citizens.

If so much is wrong it would have been repaired long ago
not just because one person said so.

Let your fire dept. know, let city hall know, and let law enforcement know that you stand behind them and refuse to believe what blink says. The names of people you all know and love are posted on their website. Go there and read it for yourself.

Christine Sheddy; The Fires of Byrd Rd. who set these fires and why? Were these fires Investigated for arson?

Pocomoke City, MD– Christine Sheddy was murdered on the Byrd Rd Farm in Pocomoke City on the evening of November 12, 2007.

The series of events that led up to her murder are stupifying.

Of Particular concern is the rash of fires occuring on the farm and within surrounding areas in the time frame of both of Christine’s visits there.

As the September alarms are no longer accessible on the Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Department Site, you are looking at a cached version confirming the call to the farm and the fact that photos DID exist of what was assuredly a major fire. Three different stations responded at a minimum. The Images have been deleted.

The day before the Byrd road chicken house fire on September 20th, the Showell Fire Department extinguished this chicken house fire:

Also a cached version of deleted information from the PVFD site, is this October Alarm Source, through October 23^rd, 2007:

Effective October 1, 2007 the Worcester County Fire Marshalls Office takes over.

“..The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for conducting fire investigations of all fires in the County where arson is suspected, the fire is undetermined by the fire department, and/or an injury or death has occurred. The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office is the local enforcing agency for 3 municipalities and the County…”

Note the October 10th alarm for yet again, a subsequent fire in the chickenhouse on Byrd Road.

On October 11, the neighbors who have already been vicitmized by the Clarence Butch “ Jr” Jackson crew, are victimized again. As you can see the Fire Marshall visits Byrd Road.

What the record does not say, is that the neighbors are awakened at 3 am by the Fire Marshall and Deputy Parnell from the PCPD. They were told if they called the Fire Department one more time for fires on the neighboring property, they would be arrested.

On the exact same day that JR Jackson unsuccessfully seeks peace orders against the neighbors that are simply trying to avoid the menace of his existance at this point are denied on October 13th; there is another chicken house fire. Fire Police and Pocomoke PD are in attendance.

Another outside fire call on October 17^th. There is no data past October 23^rd on fire activity available for this time frame.

The November calls have been deleted entirely by the Pocomake VFD. The site is managed and maintained by “Choppy Layton” a long time Vounteer Fire Fighter and by all accounts, a solid guy.

What is astounding, is that I am in receipt of an email that confirms a witness gave a statement to Detective Trautman, the original detective in this case, on February 12, 2008.

Should we consider it a coincidence then, that the last time the PVFD site is updated, and apparently when the November alarms were deleted is February 12, 2008?

We have eyewitness accounts of fires on the Byrd Road farmhouse from November 9^th through the 13th at a minimum. Fire Police and Marshalls have been to the property. By my accounting, we are talking in the neighborhood of 12 fire alarms to this property alone, starting one month after an emergency outdoor burn ban.

Why hasn’t Clarence Jackson been charged with arson?

Any other suspects? Dead Issue? We know there are surveillance still pictures and security guard witnesses, what did they see?

What is the ratio of alarm calls versus arson arrests?

I digress.

Who was copied on the confirmation email containing a witness statement on February 12, 2008?

Michael McDermott.

Snakes at Wal*Mart

I just heard on the news that another person has been bitten by a snake (copperhead) at a Wal*Mart store.

This is 3 or 4 that I know of that have been bitten at different Wal*Mart stores.

I don't know what attracts snakes to Wal*Mart stores but if you have green thumb and like the Wal*Mart garden section please watch what you pick-up and look before you grab a flower. And whatever you do, don't let you children out of your site in the garden section.

I'd have a fit if I grabbed a snake, not to mention if it was a poisonous snake that bit me.

Yuck

9/11 Memorial Car for NASCAR

Memorial car to race in
Va. on Sept. 11

- A custom-designed racecar bearing the phrase "Always Remember" was unveiled Monday by NASCAR's Benny Gordon across from the World Trade Center site.

Gordon will race the car on Sept. 11 at the Richmond International Speedway in Virginia. It also bears the phrase "9/11 Memorial," a reference to the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum.

Gordon co-owns the North South Motorsports team, based in Dubois, Pa. It's near the memorial site for United 93, one of four hijacked jetliners that crashed on Sept. 11, 2001.

"It's a real honor and privilege for us to do this," said Gordon, adding that hearing the stories of firefighters and police officers has been "incredible."

The car is a black, blue and white Ford Fusion with patriotic stars and stripes. After being delivered in a 53-foot-long truck, the hood was removed so trade center responders could sign its underside.

"I don't know much about NASCAR, but now I've become a huge fan," said retired fire Lt. Mickey Krofs, who survived the collapse of the trade center's north tower.

The unveiling took place at the museum preview site, where visitors can use interactive computers and view photos and a model of what the ground zero site eventually will look like.

"No matter what profession you're in, there are important ways to contribute to building a 9/11 memorial and museum," said Joseph Daniels, president of the 9/11 Memorial Foundation, adding that he hopes the car will inspire NASCAR fans to learn more about the memorial.

Jim O'Connell, NASCAR spokesman, said up to 75,000 people will be in the stands at the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and he predicted about 2 million TV viewers would watch it on ESPN 2. An identical car is ready as a backup, in case the other one is damaged in the race.

It's assigned No. 72, the number of retired racer Bill McKenzie, who's now part of Gordon's team.

The vehicle, with a 358 engine by Roush Yates, can reach around 200 mph.

"I hope everybody is cheering for us, and I hope we have a good run," Gordon said.

This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.

I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me.

Pocomoke; Man Charged with multiple thefts from Wal*Mart

A Salisbury man has been charged with stealing more than $1,100 in merchandise over the course of four visits to the Pocomoke City Walmart Supercenter.

From Aug. 8 to Aug. 24, Gary Belote allegedly walked away with cell phone SIM cards, walkie-talkies, voice recorders and sunglasses.

He faces one count of theft of more than $500 in value, three counts of theft less than $500 in value, two counts of theft scheme and trespassing. If found guilty of the single charge of theft of items more than $500 in value, he could face up to 15 years in prison and a fine of $25,000.

According to police records filed in Worcester County District Court, on Aug. 24 a security official from Walmart contacted the Pocomoke City Police Department about a possible theft. Belote was seen on a security camera allegedly tampering with the packaging for a prepaid cell phone.

Police stopped the suspect as he was leaving the store on a bicycle. A SIM card was found in his pocket.

The phone and its packaging were found in the store near the fishing equipment. "The packet was cut open and the SIM card was the only thing missing," according to court documents.

A review of security footage revealed that Belote -- who was supposed to be restrained by a no-trespassing order for the Pocomoke City Walmart stemming from a September 2008 incident -- had allegedly stolen from the store on at least three other occasions.

According to police documents, on Aug. 8 he walked away with $800 in sunglasses. Tapes from Aug. 21 allegedly show Belote stealing two prepaid cell phones worth $92.88 and a pair of walkie-talkies valued at $49.94.

Two days later, Belote allegedly stole from the store again, this time a voice recorder and an iPod.

Belote was apprehended when he returned the following day. He is currently being held at the Worcester County Jail on $8,500 bond.

In September 2008, Belote was arrested for theft of less than $500, malicious destruction of property and failing to obey an officer of the law stemming from an incident at the same Walmart. He pleaded guilty to the theft charge and was sentenced to six months in jail.

Belote was also convicted of illegal drug possession in Ocean City in May 2008 and was found guilty of failing to pay required child support in November 2008. Several earlier run-ins with police took place between 1993 and 2004, according to court records; in a 2004 case, Belote pleaded guilty to the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.

A hearing for the Walmart case will be held Sept. 25 in Worcester County District Court.

Tree-hugging Moonbats worship Trees

People! this is the liberal democrats that are running our government at present.

Pocomoke Fire department under Fire by a blogger

In the long events and stretched-out stories by BlinkOnCrime to use the murder of missing Christine Sheddy to assure attention and repeat readers the blinkoncrime website and author has gone too far.

For those that are not following along, the investigative ‘reporters’ team of blinkoncrime has not only brought forth terrible memories to a person that has more than paid their dues to society but has gone as for as to implicate the Pocomoke volunteer fire dept. in a scheme to cover for the murder of Christine Sheddy.

This is just an outrage and a vicious attack on the men and women of the PVFD

Here’s a direct quote From the blinkoncrime article titled;

“Is There a Fox in The Firehall?”

[quote]” Is that the reason that the searches on the property where the Pocomoke City FD were in attendance yielded nothing?”[quote]

Our VFD are men and women that will risk their lives to go into an inferno to save a kitten, that to me tells us of their instinct to do the ‘right thing’ they need not, nor do they deserve to be accused of a cover-up for “one of their own” by an outsider.

The blinkoncrime website goes on to say;

“It would seem finding her remains would yield heavy coverage.”

While it may do just that I can assure you that our fine men and women of the PCVFD could care less about “coverage” unlike the attention that obviously “investigative reporters” crave and will say anything to get that “coverage”

These are people that were volunteers at organized foot searches for Christine and wanted nothing more than to find Christine and bring closure to her family and justice to those involved. I just cannot get over the fact that this group of so-called ‘professionals’ could even bring themselves to insinuate that our VFD doctored reports and covered for “one of their own” it’s beyond comprehension, it’s a vile thing to insinuate.

I pray that Christine is recovered and have stood fast by this case for a long time but I won’t stand-by while our VFD and members are drug threw the mud.

I hope every fireman/woman contacts blinkoncrime and demands an open apology for this accusation. The blink team just spit on the most dedicated people in Pocomoke and in the end the people that could have helped the most.

EDITORS NOTE:

The people of Pocomoke are of an old fashioned, proud people.

This type of thing being put out, even if it is meant to get a reaction will only cause the people of Pocomoke to be tight lipped so the same does not happen to them, a friend, or a loved one.
