Iceberg That Sank Titanic Located

Titanic Iceberg Located
Iceberg That Sank Luxury Liner Titanic In 1912 Found
While on a routine patrol in the atlantic ocean, the USS Grassy Knoll navy explorer located the iceberg that sank the Titanic.

The Navy ship was mapping icebergs as they made their slow migration into shipping lanes making them dangerous to older ships not equipped with modern sonar and technology. One of the Ensigns on watch spotted a rusty looking object jutting out from one of the icebergs. The ship moved in as close as it could and then Navy Seals were sent in recovery rafts to inspect and retrieve the metal object.

It was flown to Patterson Air Force base and Navy forensics experts determined it was a sheered off piece of the outer hull plating of the ill fated maiden voyage of the Titanic.

Handels Homemade Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Handels Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Handels Ice cream located at 3931 Handel's Court
Youngstown, OH 44511
(330) 788-0356
has been around longer than me, and I'm 45 years old.
They have many flavors, some I cannot even pronounce but the best flavor they make is of course butter pecan. The recipe calls for plenty of pecans, not just a few for decoration, but plenty for texture, and crunchy taste. The ice cream itself was smooth, creamy, just perfect. The cost was $2.50 per pint, which was well worth it.
For the best tasting, best quality ice cream, the Grassy Knoll highly recommends Handels of Youngstown and gives 5 out of 5 stars.

Lost Update - Aint No Mountain High Enough


ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 01/15/2005


'Cause baby there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
The Grassy Knoll Institute believes the survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory connected together as a battery of tests and experiments are performed on them. Not by the Dharma initiative, but by aliens. In this update, we look at John Locke, the wheelchair bound man who was miraculously cured and became a master of survival. While out looking for Claire, the blond pregnant girl, he stumbles upon a metal trap door in the side of the mountain. Locke is pondering on how to open it.

Meanwhile, Sayid is trying to read the maps from the French woman and Locke gives him his compass saying he doesn't need it anymore. Sayid discovers that the compass is off, that it doesn't point true North. Or, the island doesn't conform to the Earths magnetic field. Perhaps because its not on Earth.

Noticed another thing. This island is huge. It has mountains, tall mountains, waterfalls, miles and miles of land, and an endless coastline. Yet they are the only people on the island. This island is as big as Hawaii, the big island of Hawaii. In reality, the island would be heavily populated since it is the tropical region conducive to year round warm weather and would at least be a huge tourist trap. Why don't these "Lost" survivors realize this?

This episode was really a lot about nothing except to foreshadow what was to become next. I guarantee Claire returns without the baby.

Until next week.

Lost Update - A Day In The Virtual Reality Life


ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 01/05/2005

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph


After a long holiday hiatus, "Lost" the ABC television series returned. If you recall, the Grassy Knoll Institute believes the survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory connected together as a battery of tests and experiments are performed on them. Not by the Dharma institute, but by aliens.

The last episode had Locke, the formerly wheelchair bound bald man, finding a metallic type door under thick brush while looking for the abducted pregnant blond woman Claire. Well, the story never came close to touching on this discovery. Long hiatus, and nothing about the freaking hatch.

Instead, it added a little more back story to the characters and had Kate and the bad dude, Sawyer, getting more cozy. They find a briefcase, Kate's briefcase and there is something very suspicious within.

Kate lies to Jack, the doctor, and they open the case together revealing some cash, guns, papers, and a model airplane. Remember the police agents warning to Jack not to trust Kate?

This episode to me was simply a primer to get the audience back in the swing after being off the air for several weeks. The only significant happening was the eroding shoreline causing the group to move their belongings further inland. My speculation is that the aliens want the group off the beach and will force them into the jungle to experiment.

Next weeks episode will surely explore the metallic door in the mountain and the pregnant woman Claire will be found.

Until next week.....
