"Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board."

A gun club in Arizona has offered its members a chance to have their pictures taken with Santa Claus while holding pistols and military-style rifles.
For a fee of 5 dollars for members and 10 dollars for non-members, the Scottsdale Gun Club in Arizona will arrange a photo op with a nervous looking Santa and a selection of automatic weapons valued at 170,000 dollars.
In the backdrop of the photos is a Garwood Minigun, which can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute, the Telegraph reported.
Revellers have a range of hand-held guns to choose from including pistols, assault rifles and the odd grenade launcher.
The club's website exhorts readers to "Get your holiday picture with Santa and his machine guns!"
Several of the example pictures include young children either holding guns or sitting in Santa's lap as their parents pack heat. (ANI)
Phoenix Herald
The Phoenix Herald is essentially a local Phoenix newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Phoenix, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Phoenix, Arizona, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Phoenix Herald.
