Swimming with sharks rapidshare

He's such a fan! I must admit that I wasn't scared in the slightest. This is not because I'm not a fearful person - I very much am, and I'm also a terrible swimmer. However, I seem to have a blind spot when it comes to wild animals. I even forgot to take the basic safety precaution of keeping my fists clenched to conceal my fingernails which reflect light and look like fish scales, thus tempting fate. The experience was so incredible, so magical, that it just didn't occur to me to be afraid.

And so it came as no surprise when, the next day, the authorities announced that there will be no more swimming with sharks. The Hadera municipality is closing that area to swimmers. It's probably for the best, though it is indeed a pity that this magical experience will no longer be available. After all, where else in the world can you go swimming with both sharks and zoorabbis?

With but a basic understanding of wild animal behavior anyone can see that having any large wild animal surrounded by people with limited avenues to escape, is a very clear recipe for an attack. I have no doubt that a shark bite on a person will occur in Israel of these days if not this year, maybe next year , and when it does happen, there will be loud calls and public pressure to kill off the sharks. I'd hate to see anyone hurt by a shark but this kind of behavior and lack or respect for the power of the sharks, invites bites.

Those who love wildlife should be the last to put the sharks in such danger. Portugal sees the most sharks year. As a result, their beaches have a wall separating sharks from humans. We don't have to kill them if we do it like Spain does. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death RNS - Remember that you can not eat Sharks, but Sharks have no law that they are forbidden from eating you.

I wish the whole world adopted the Jewish law to not to eat non kosher fish for then the Sharks may survive. For those religious who think they are missing something by avoiding shellfish and the like, IMHO you are not.

I had most of them and really do not care for them at all. Sorry for the several posts, but this RNS post really has personal meaning to me since I love Sharks.

You can add these kosher fish to your list of bottom dwelling "sh-t" eaters: carp, sole, halibut, flounder, cod, and bass. I hate sharks. Not in a bad way, but I'm certainly afraid of them and never want to meet them in real life. For me, the kosher rule works both ways. A sort of karma. If I don't eat sharks maybe they won't eat me.

The "bottom feeder" theory of kosher fish is completely contradicted by the facts. I would never swim with sharks on that beach. There's something fishy about it. RNS noticed you are wearing a cap. But is this required when swimming? If you've been bitten by lions and pounced on by leopards, most people would interpret that as an unsubtle hint that you haven't had adequate regard to your welfare or the welfare of large feline apex predators. They really are not psychologically or physiologically the same as a household cat.

Neat story! Minor quibble: you note that the water is from a coal-powered plant, and therefore not radioactive. But you should know that while nuclear power plants also dump hot water to waterways, that water is not radioactive, as it doesn't come into direct contact with the nuclear fuel rods.

Based on the novel by Valerie Martin, this gothic suspense story offers a fresh perspective on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic horror tale Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

Hyde by presenting the material from a different viewpoint — that of Mary Reilly Julia Roberts , an Irish servant girl who has come to work for esteemed surgeon Dr. Henry Jekyll John Malkovich.

German-born filmmaker Michael Haneke continues the bleak, formalist experimentation of his breakthrough 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance with this similarly fragmented tale of racism, intolerance, and hatred in modern-day Paris. The focus of the narrative is split between three sets of people: the French actress Anne Juliette Binoche , her husband and in-laws; a Romanian woman, Maria Luminita Gheorghiu , who struggles to raise money for her family back home; and Amadou Ona Lu Yenke , a teacher for the deaf who is at odds with his resolute African clan.

The catalyst for the stories begins on a streetcorner, where Anne's brother-in-law Jean Alexandre Hamadi insults Maria, who is begging for change; incensed, Amadou picks a fight with Jean, resulting in negative repercussions for the triptych of protagonists.

Throughout, Haneke punctuates the action with his unique editing and use of sound.
