People living at 404 Vine St. were previously reported to Police for Animal Cruelty by myself and another. Their dog had no shelter, no access to food or water with its chain wrapped around the tree!!----After a more calls, Animal Control came & took the dog to the Humane Society, where I'm rather sure it was put down--- as it had not been socialized well ,and being tied all the time makes an animal aggressive.
This past Sunday , I heard a dogs excessant barking. I looked in their back yard----THESE SAME PEOPLE HAD GOTTON ANOTHER DOG!! The dogs chain was wrapped around the tree, he couldn't get to his bowls or dog house. Remembering the Torrents of rain we had Saturday night, I wondered if this dog had been in this predicament then & helpless to the weather conditions.
I called , 410 548 3165, City Animal Control . There appeared to be no one at the residence & our Humane Society is closed Sunday & Mondays! I've no idea if Animal Control will be able to get food or water for the animal as I didn't know to what extent City Animal Control can help. With our Humane Society being closed 2 days-happens to an animal in a life threatening situation ?? Perhaps someone could answer that question. I'd sure like to know! I am hoping these hrs will change since I just read on your Blogg Site the HS is suppose to be getting ONE more Animal Control Officer. Animals cruelty doesn't go on "time out" on the week ends
My husband & I rode back to see if the dog was OK later in the day. The animal was free from its entanglement, had access to its bowls & dog house. THANKS AGAIN CITY POLICE!

Life Is Coming Back To The Plaza
The Plaza Deli had a nice group of people enjoying the great weather yesterday around 4 PM. People seem to be learning this guy has the best subs/food around.
The Liability Is Unreal
While we have many very talented skate boarders here on the Shore, pulling off stunts like this on municipal property is just out of line.
There has to be at least a six foot drop off over this wall to the lower level. Click on the picture and let it enlarge. This guy would ride down the sidewalk until he came up to the wall and attempt to jump over the wall with his skate board and land six feet below.
You can't tell me these guys don't know they shouldn't be doing this, right?

OC BikeFest Rolls Into Ocean City, Sept. 13-16
Second time around even better!
OC BikeFest rolls into Ocean City, Sept. 13-16
OC BikeFest rolls into Ocean City, Sept. 13-16
OCEAN CITY, MD – The highly anticipated OC BikeFest presented by Rommel Harley-Davidson of Annapolis and Rommel Harley-Davidson of New Castle and Smyrna, Delaware rolls into Ocean City for its second exciting, jam-packed, year this Sept. 13-16. OC BikeFest will treat Delmarva Coast motorcycle enthusiasts to four days of fantastic music and thrilling entertainment at the Inlet, Convention Center and Jolly Roger Park.
OC BikeFest will take place on the same grounds and setup as Sunfest, including its two stages that will play host to three classic rock headliners. Jackly with Jesse James Dupree will rock the stage Sept. 13, 5:30 p.m., hop on the Grand Funk Railroad Sept. 14, 5 p.m. and get your fiddle on with the amazing Charlie Daniels Band Sept. 15, 5 p.m.
You can also find even more music at the Convention Center location where Jackyl and 38 Special will rock the Jack Daniel’s stage. Other acts throughout the weekend at both locations include The Rowdy Johnson Band, Kashmir - the nation's #1 Led Zeppelin tribute show and Messenger.
In addition to great music other attractions include, TRU TV’s Full Throttle Saloon’s Michael Ballard and Angie Carlson, the Jack Daniel’s Experience, a mobile museum bringing a little of the distillery from Lynchburg to Ocean City.; The Wall of Death, an extreme motorcycle thrill show; Ball of Steel stunt show and the Adrenaline Crew, an American stunt team out of Los Angeles, and the Extreme Trials Showcase featuring Tommi Ahvala.
Attendees (21 years and older) of the 2012 OC BikeFest are eligible to enter Loaded Gun Customs, Custom Vintage Bike Giveaway. The drawing will take place following the Charlie Daniels Band concert on the Ocean Stage at the Inlet on Sept.15. The motorcycle is on display at the main entrance of the Casino Ocean Downs.
Happening simultaneously with the DelMarva Bike Week, which annually attracts more than 120,000 motorcycling enthusiasts to Salisbury – the OC BikeFest offers visiting bikers and many others, an opportunity to head down to the ocean to enjoy stunt shows, custom bike builders, a motorcycle vendor mall, food tents, Budweiser and Jack Daniel’s Pubs, shops, rides and the fabulous bars and restaurants in Ocean City.
OC BikeFest organizer Cliff Sutherland says he hopes to attract families and motorcycle enthusiasts who are ready for a good time. Sutherland is quite familiar with the Maryland beach, as he has vacationed in Ocean City for 40-plus years. A frequent participant in Delmarva Bike Week, he became concerned over the event’s western migration, so Sutherland met with Ocean City officials and brought the inaugural rally to the coastal city in 2011.
“What we’ve done is created a high-end event for Ocean City,” he says. “Our rally will probably be 60 percent motorcyclists and 40 percent other folks,” Sutherland adds. “We do all types of music not just your ‘traditional biker’ music. We aim to attract everyone.”
He says the average biker is 52 years old and makes about $94,000 a year. He adds that their bikes don’t come with trunks and attendees will spend most of their dollars in local restaurants, retail stores and hotels. Sutherland says he is expecting at least 20,000 visitors this year.
Hours vary by location and can be found at www.ocbikefest.com
Advance passes are available at Rommel Harley-Davidson and Rommel’s ACE stores. Admission allows attendees to come and go as they please for all four days.
A 4-day pass for adults is $25 and a one-day pass is $15. Children’s 4-day pass is $15. Sunday is Family Day, adults pay $10 and children $5. Purchase tickets at http://www.tixonlinenow.com/ocbikefest/shopdisplayproducts.asp

Colo. Theater Victim Families Question Fundraising
AURORA, Colo. (AP) - Anguished family members of some of the Colorado theater shooting victims lashed out at a fundraising campaign Tuesday, saying it collected more than $5 million "using pictures and names of our murdered loved ones" but so far has given no more than $5,000 each to families facing bills for medical treatment, travel and other expenses from the attack.
The families also said they've been shut out of decisions on how the money should be spent and that fundraisers were unresponsive to their questions and suggestions.
"When you generate donations for a fund called `the Aurora Victim Relief Fund' using pictures and names of our murdered loved ones, it would stand to reason the fund is for victims of the Aurora shooting," said Tom Teves, whose son Alex was one of 12 people killed in the July 20 shootings. Another 58 people were wounded, and many of them face long recoveries or permanent disability
Despite Record High Stocks, Consumer Confidence Crashes to 9 Month Low
With inflation expectations soaring and jobs plentiful relative to hard-to-get falling slightly, Consumer Confidence plunged its most in 10 months to a level not seen since November of last year. It seems that despite all the hopes and prayers priced into US equity market valuations, the US Consumer remains unimpressed, unhappy, and unemployed. Of course, the 'good is bad, bad is better' market has interpreted this as a clear QE-on flag (for this millisecond anyway).
Consumer Confidence is at a 9 month low...

Ron Paul And The Future
One of the most thrilling memories of the 2012 campaign was the sight of those huge crowds who came out to see Ron. His competitors, meanwhile, couldn't fill half a Starbucks. When I worked as Ron's chief of staff in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I could only dream of such a day.
Now, what was it that attracted all these people to Ron Paul? He didn't offer his followers a spot on the federal gravy train. He didn't pass some phony bill. In fact, he didn't do any of the things we associate with politicians. What his supporters love about him has nothing to do with politics at all.
Ron is the anti-politician. He tells unfashionable truths, educates rather than flatters the public and stands up for principle even when the whole world is arrayed against him.
Some people say, "I love Ron Paul, except for his foreign policy." But that foreign policy reflects the best and most heroic part of who Ron Paul is. Peace is the linchpin of the Paulian program, not an extraneous or dispensable adjunct to it. He would never and could never abandon it.
Here was the issue Ron could have avoided had he cared only for personal advancement.

Christie Vouches For Romney: ‘Solutions Will Not Be Painless’
Kicking off Republicans’ 2012 nominating convention with a piercing critique of American political life, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday politicians and voters alike have “become paralyzed” by an inability to live within limits, and he challenged both groups to accept that there are some promises government should not make, and cannot meet.
The day began with the GOP officially nominating Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as their presidential and vice presidential candidates, concluding a process that began eight months ago in the frozen cornfields of Iowa.
Mr. Romney himself made a surprise appearance after his wife, Ann, delivered a buoyant yet poignant speech describing their life together.

Immortal: 174 ACORN Affiliates Still Active
Many of ACORN’s affiliates, allies, and old chapters remain active under different names — and at least two have received federal dollars — despite the left-wing community-organizing group’s official dissolution and ban on receiving federal funds, according to a new report.
Cause of Action, a nonprofit government watchdog group, recently identified 174 active or rebranded ACORN affiliates, as well as organizations that share former ACORN staff. ...
In some ways, [Capital Research Center investigator Matthew] Vadum said, the official collapse of ACORN was the best thing that could have happened to the organization. The former shell has now split into dozens of groups, making it much harder to track.

Chesapeake Bay Bridge Closed Because Of Swaying
While passing over the bridge over the past few weeks I informed my wife that I did not think it was very wise to use those tarps and have them drapped over the scaffolding next to the bridge.
The whole set-up is like a make-shift kite.
And from what I have previously witnessed with that bridge - (ie - unusual and misaligned expansion joints, concrete dropping off of the pilings and floating in the bay, improper concrete mix being used over the pandecking - then having to redo the work twice etc.) - I would not trust any type of certification issued from the Maryland Transportation Board. They are the same group that issued a compliance report right up until the Pocomoke City, MD drawbridge collapsed. Luckily - no one was crossing that structure at the time.
GO GET THEM SBYNEWS - THIS IS NATIONAL NEWS AND THE PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION!!!
