<title>Diver Attacked By Shark, 05/24/06</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A tiger shark injured a Japanese tourist who was diving near Gun Beach in Tumon.

Hideki Noma, an instructor with Gently Blue Diving Company, said he took a group of four Japanese tourists diving at Gun Beach last week.

The group was at an estimated 32 feet below the surface when a turtle quickly ascended and swam so close through the group that it was within arm's reach, Noma said through a translator.

The turtle was swimming fast because it was being chased by a 13-foot tiger shark that had its mouth open, he said.

The shark's teeth scraped one of the tourists on the leg as it passed by, Noma said. The tourist, in a panic, also scraped his leg on coral. The group quickly returned to land and the tourist was taken to the PMC Isla Health System clinic and received about 10 stitches.<br/>Tags: sharks, shark, shark attack, diving, diver, scary, just a scratch, i bet he peed in his wet suit<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/87318">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Corey Brooks Bitten by Shark 06/02</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        June 10 2002

JENSEN BEACH -- A 10-year-old Port St. Lucie boy was in stable condition Sunday night after being attacked by a shark as he swam with a group of children 30 yards off the south end of the public beach.

The attack, among the first in Florida this spring, occurred hours earlier on a sunny afternoon when Jensen Beach was filled with sunbathers and swimmers. Yellow flags were posted as 2-foot seas came ashore. Some swimmers said bait fish could be seen in the water.

Lifestar emergency services flew Corey Brooks, who was suffering reportedly from a 12- to 14-inch gash in his right calf, to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach. Brooks underwent surgery Sunday evening at St. Mary's, according to his mother, Tammie Brooks of Port St. Lucie.

Reportedly, her son had more than 100 stitches in his leg and was resting in the facility's intensive care unit after surgery.

Tammie Brooks said Corey had gone to the beach with family friends when she received the "bad news he was bit by a shark. They told me he was airlifted here," she said, standing outside of St. Mary's.

She said she was told her son had been playing in waist-deep water and thought one of his friends was pulling on his leg underwater. Then he saw a shark had bitten him and he ran crying for help.

A lifeguard supervisor said guards were unable to forewarn swimmers because the attack occurred too far down the beach from the posted lifeguard stations to monitor the shark siting. Lifeguards were informed of the attack about 1 p.m., when a guard was told the boy was bitten as he swam in the surf with more than 20 other children.

Lifeguards then quickly called everyone onto the beach from the water and stabilized the boy.

Joe Kostygan, chief lifeguard for Martin County, said the attack occurred "quite a way down the beach" from a guard station. "It was out of the guarded area at the extreme end of the public beach."


He said, "It's been a heck of while at least 10 or 12 years" since he could remember another attack there. The incident was probably "a chance encounter."

"Shark attacks are such a chance encounter you could be looking right at it," and not see it, Kostygan said. Most swimmers were packed pretty close to shore. "They would have noticed him if he was out further," he said of Corey.

Corey was conscious and "pretty calm" but in pain, said Martin County Fire Rescue firefighter/paramedic T.J. Guzzi and fire medic Doug Young.

"He had a pretty significant bite, it did appear serious. He was stable, but we took him to St. Mary's just to make sure," Young said. Lifeguards and fire officials "did a great job," he said. "The scene was pretty controlled."<br/>Tags: shark bite, shark attack, scary, swimming, waistdeep water, sharks<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/87330">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Henri Murray Killed by Great White 06/05</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A fifth-year medical student desperately fought off a Great White at Miller's Point on Saturday, twice managing to scare it away.

But the shark attacked Henri Murray, 22, for a third time, locking its powerful jaws around the young man.

Murray and Piet van Niekerk, 23, were spear-fishing when the shark attacked.

Henri saw the shark and warned his friend that they should get out of the water, his father, George Murray, said on Sunday.

Van Niekerk shot the shark with his speargun, but it would not let go of Murray.

On Sunday, a severely traumatised Van Niekerk took part in the search for Henri's remains.

Henri's speargun, weight belt, diving goggles, snorkel and a flippers were found on Saturday.

The top of his red wetsuit washed ashore at Muizenberg. The keys to his car were in one of the suit's pockets.

"I was always a lot more worried when Henri went rock climbing." his father said

University of Stellenbosch student Henri Murray might have had a foreboding of the dreadful fate that awaited him when he went skin-diving with his friend, Piet van Niekerk, 23.

Speaking to the media for the first time since the attack that killed his best friend, Van Niekerk said: "Henri said that day he wouldn't mind being attacked by a shark because Miller's Point is notorious for shark attacks.

"But, I think he knew his time was near. I believe God took him away," said Van Niekerk about the June 4 tragedy.

He said that when the attack happened, "I was utterly helpless, but I could hear Henri's screams clearly.

"Within 30 seconds, it was all over."

Van Niekerk said they got into the water about 14:00 and Henri, 22, speared a galjoen about an hour later.

"Minutes later, he shouted 'A Great White is here; we have to get out'.

While we were trying to get ashore, the shark jumped out of the water next to us. He disappeared under the water again.

"At first, he snapped at Henri twice, but was unsuccessful because Henri fought him off.

"The third time the shark pulled him under the water. I dived beneath the water and I saw Henri's arms in the shark's mouth," said Van Niekerk.

He rushed to get help and someone called the National Sea Rescue Institute.

Van Niekerk said: "Ten minutes later, we went looking for Henri in a boat, but couldn't find him."<br/>Tags: shark attack, sharks, fatal, eaten by a shark, killed, diving, spear fishing<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/89144">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Clothes Contact: Fashion & Fabrics by the pound

        <![CDATA[
        <object width="420" height="350"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tqTYucTUiZ4"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tqTYucTUiZ4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="350"></embed></object>
I knew I recognized that guy from somewhere! Sean, formerly of Departures from the Past, is now performing irreverent and raunchy stand-up comedy at Clothes Contact in addition to Brainwash (Thursdays) and Canvas Gallery (Tuesdays). He'll make you laugh even while advising you that the leopard print mumu makes your ass look, well, BIG.

I popped in here just for a minute and ended up staying long enough to find a terrificly patterned set of 50s pajamas for $18 (this is a stellar set, I'd peg it at $75 or so if it were freshly laundered and pressed and presented in a tonier store) and a $5 red hoodie with a "Sexy" pull tag (in case anyone doesn't notice immediately). 

Alley, dressed nattily in Clothes Contact finds (photos at right), advised buying lightweight clothes since Clothes Contact charges by the pound, but if things are extra heavy accommodations might be made to adjust the price. My pal bought a plush mauve velvet curtain to fashion into her reconstructed overalls and paid just $10--a good amount less than such a good piece of cloth might usually bring. Sure, she'll need to have it cleaned but the price is a bargain including that cost. 

If you're not afraid to dig in and have a good eye and feel for quality fabric you can find some remarkable pieces to wear as-is or rework into your reconstructed fantasy wardrobe. 

This is Clothes Contact's 20th anniversary celebration, so if you get there soon you'll get a 20% discount. 

Retro City Fashions has six shopping locations in the  Bay area: Held Over, Clothes Contact, Sharks, La Rosa, Mission Thrift, and Mars. retrocity@retrocity.com
