Title: Grand Theft Auto III
Consoles: PS2, PC, Xbox
Release Date: 10/22/01 (US)
Genres: Action
My Ranking: #49
The majority of great games I played before Grand Theft Auto III had a fantastic main quest. Either the story was fun, the music was engrossing or the multiplayer just rocked. However, the allure of GTA III was not at all because of its main storyline. I fell in love with this game because I was able to do almost anything I wanted in Liberty City, and for me, this game was the first of its kind.
By now, most of you know what kind of game Grand Theft Auto is. Within this series of games, you take control of some character who gets involved with the mafia, drug dealers, car thieves, etc. You go through a series of missions that have you shooting down rival gangs, stealing cars and doing other shady, but awesome tasks. For some players, doing these missions was the main enjoyment of the game but I won't delve into this aspect of the gameplay, as my enjoyment lied elsewhere.
How many games can you just input a couple of buttons and have a tank just fall from the sky? This is why I loved Grand Theft Auto III. I don't normally "cheat" in the games I played, but with GTA III, you almost had no choice not to. With just some seemingly random button pressing I could have a complete set of weapons, full health and armor, and of course, a tank. I could then ravage Liberty City as I please, running over police vehicles and using the tank's gunner to blow up people that attempt to run away.
There was no point to this act. By killing hundreds of people and plenty of police officers, my police rating would rise up to max, which would prompt police helicopters, FBI agents and US tanks all coming after me. Eventually I would die, or input the code to instantly remove my police rating all together. Either way I ended up getting my daily dose of blowing stuff up and getting away with it.
If this were the only aspect of gameplay, the game would probably sell very well but be repetitive. However, the game simply just doesn't stop there. While the story wasn't exactly riveting in Grand Theft Auto III, I enjoyed working for the different mob bosses and drug dealers, as the missions really challenged you to be a sharp shooter or a precise driver.
I cannot even fathom how difficult to game must have been to make. Rockstar made a completely full 3D environment with different gameplay engines that all worked fairly well. They had to use a fighting engine, a shooting engine and a driving engine all with a lush environment and tons of reactive characters throughout the city. There were gangs that would try and kill you if you crossed them too many times; there were policemen that would chase you if you ran over a pedestrian and there were just random drivers everywhere. To put it simply, this game created a very full environment for which you could explore in and, as a player, you could choose to play the main game, or ignore it altogether.
Grand Theft Auto did make it very easy to ignore the main storyline too with some neat pseudo side-quests like the jumping ramps. Ramps were strategically placed over big gaps and on top of buildings and you could just take any vehicle, drive over that ramp and see how far you would go and how cool you look during it. The game would even go into slow-motion so you can savor that beautiful crash into a building or on top of another person's head. Then after you killed that person and watched your car blow up, you could take the money they dropped, grab another car and do it all over again.
Rockstar really did an excellent job of making sure that no part of this game was boring despite the openness of the setting. If you were just driving for one place to another, the player could listen to various radio stations that feature different types of music ranging from rock, rap, or even jazz. Heck, there was even an off-beat talk show station called Chatterbox which would feature some hilarious, laugh-out-loud conversations with some really dumb people. Here's one great example when a host is talking to a nudist.
There was simply so much to do in Grand Theft Auto. The sheer amount of weapons added so much variety to the game and they never got old as a result. Rocket launchers, mini-uzis, Molotov cocktails and a baseball bat all had their own allure, causing me to enjoy alternate methods of destruction. There were also an intense amount of cars to choose from and steal, and stealing them was easy. Stop in front of car, press triangle to kick out the driver and take it. You like that sports car? Push the driver out and hop in it, it's yours!
When Grand Theft Auto III came out, there was no other game like it, as least for me. There was a decent main story, a variety of gameplay options and a completely open world that really let the user decide what he or she wanted to do with their time. Nothing was forced yet everything was enjoyable. GTA III was really a new experience at the time it came out, and this game justifies why the GTA series is immensely popular today.
My Top 52:
#52 --- Star Fox 64 (N64)
#51 --- Kirby's Adventure (NES)
#50 --- Roller Coaster Tycoon (PC)
#49 --- Grand Theft Auto III (PS2, PC, Xbox)
#48 --- Revealed on 08/05

Andy's Film Blog
A blog dealing with either the joy of cinema or the agony of cinema--nothing in between.
Monday, April 26, 2010
It opens with the title character doing an odd dance in the middle of the field. Soon her imbecile son whom she has a strange relationship with will be accused of a heinous murder, and she will launch her own investigation, doing whatever it takes to clear his name. Mother is a strange thriller out of South Korea. It experiments with several different tones and genres, which does not always amount to desirous results. The film is beautifully filmed and there are some wonderful camera shots, movements, and angles. Though this is an atypical film that isn't always shot the way you want and made in the tone you want, it is still refreshing to see originality at the local cinema.

Teacher Training thru Yoga Flow gifted me more than I could have ever anticipated. ..We all go into a TT for our own reasons, something inside us confirms that this is the direction we need to be going - but at first, we often don't always know why. Over the weeks, you begin to realize the part of you that fell in love with the practice in the first place. That part is different for all of us. Yet it's that part in all of us that wants to be the best it can be in order to share that love with our students. With the patient and knowledgeable guidance of the YF teachers and the thoughtful layout of this TT, you really do transform. You become a teacher, not only to your students, but to yourself. You begin to realize you can't imagine your life without this practice, or these people.
And after those weeks were over, I realized I was so immensely grateful for the relationships that formed in that Aspinwall studio. The trust you place in others and accepting the trust they are placing in you. The deep connections that are are built within those in your class as you become a new version of yourself is priceless. It really is a family. One in which I am so happy and humbled to be a part of as a direct result of my Yoga Flow Teacher Training. :)

Well, it was a busy weekend, packed full with decorating, shopping, and traveling, not necessarily in that order! But it was fun. Amanda and I took a van load of stuff down to the barn in Frederick, for the upcoming sale on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. I couldn't possibly give you all the fun details of my weekend, but I will share two of them. On Saturday I checked out a Craig's list add for Coke crates. It was slightly disappointing in the fact that they had listed there were 60 crates, but when we arrived there were only about 30, and maybe 20 of them in good shape. But here are a few that survived and I think they look awesome stacked like this.
I also wanted to feature my friend Amanda who is an amazing upholsterer. This chair has been in the works for sometime now, and it turned out wonderfully! I believe the frame of this chair was a roadside find! The best place to shop, I might add! Amanda let me paint the frame Paris Grey. I gave her the Chicken Sack, that was a gift from a friend of mine, because I knew it would look amazing upholstered on a chair. I also begged her to use the blue ticking as well! Just can't get enough of that stuff! So I guess if you are paying attention you noticed I am kinda in love with this chair. But alas, I have way too many chairs, and a little house, so she is up for sale this weekend at the barn sale!
Side note….I think I have heard that you can use a half of can of Coke in the chicken, then bake it in the oven, and it tastes amazing. Anyone every done that? Well I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
P.S. Amanda and I bought 18 yards of vintage german linen this weekend, stay tuned to hear our plans for that!

Update: Jalbum is now provided as a deb, see my latest post Jalbum, create Photo web albums
This is the software I use to create my photo album on the web. I used it when I ran XP and was glad to see it came as a Linux option. It automatically creates the album in variety of skins and there is then an option to FTP the result direct from the program to your site. Visit the jalbum.net site and if you decide to user this program, download the file [JAlbuminstall.bin] to your [Home] folder. JAlbum needs Java 1.5 (or later) virtual machine to run so first we need to open the [Synaptic Package Manager] search for and install sun-java6-jre or later, from the listed packages and install it. Assuming you downloaded the JAlbum install file to your [Home] folder, in a [Terminal] type or copy and paste;
This will open the JAlbum installer which will guide you through the installation. When it asks which Java VM to use, select the java6 version. If the box is empty as mine was, tell it to search for a java VM which took a while then select it an move on. If this still fails [as mine did on Intrepid] open a [Terminal] type or copy and paste;
sudo update-alternatives
--config java
which should give you an output like this;
There are 2 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
+ 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java<
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:
Select java-6-sun and note the path to it i.e.
now run the Jalbum installer again
and use the [Choose Another] option to navigate to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java then click on [Next]
When it asks where do you want to install it will give the default path of /home/user/Jalbum I change this to /home/user/.Jalbum to make this folder hidden the "." does this but still keeps it within your [Home] folder. The program can now be run from the link in your [Home] folder.

Sept. 30 — I have a problem with Wesley Clark's former boss and current bad-mouther, Gen. Hugh Shelton. The problem has to do with Shelton's integrity and character. Let's just say that if Shelton runs for office, he won't get my vote.
InsertArt(2027502)A COUPLE OF weeks ago, Shelton, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked at a forum in California, "What do you think of Gen. Wesley Clark, and would you support him as a presidential candidate?" Shelton replied, "I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early [i.e., was forced to step down as commander of U.S. forces in Europe] had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. I'm not going to say whether I'm a Republican or a Democrat. I'll just say Wes won't get my vote."
Shelton's remarks appeared in the Los Altos Town Crier on Sept. 23. On Sept. 24, the Republican National Committee disseminated them in an e-mail alert. The New York Times sought clarification from Shelton but reported that he "could not be reached for comment."
Since then, the remarks have reappeared in numerous wire stories, TV broadcasts, and newspaper articles. The New York Post trumpeted "the revelation that [Shelton] says Clark lacks the character to be president" and suggested it was one of several "hints that maybe Clark isn't all that." A Post op-ed added, "It makes you suspect that [Shelton] knows whereof he speaks when he says Clark's forced early retirement as head of NATO 'had to do with integrity and character issues.' " On CNBC, former Rep. Susan Molinari, R-N.Y., asked, "What do we know about [Clark]? He supported Bush. He said nice things about Condi Rice. Gen. Shelton says that there's issues of character and integrity that need to be discussed." On Fox News, Tony Snow said Clark "didn't run the military. He was run out of the military. … [Shelton] says Clark was, in effect, fired as the supreme allied commander for reasons of integrity and character."
I've searched news databases and found only one person who's pointed out that Shelton has a duty to clarify his accusation. Last Friday, my colleague, Chris Suellentrop, appeared on the Fox News show The Big Story With John Gibson. Gibson recited Shelton's quotes, posited that Shelton "had to have a good reason" to fire Clark, and concluded, "Integrity — that means, does the guy lie? Does he tell the truth to his bosses?" Suellentrop argued that Shelton "should say more of what he means by that. What character issues? What integrity issues?" But Gibson persisted:
Whoa. We don't know that Clark lied. We don't know that the grounds on which Shelton got rid of him were valid. We don't know that when Shelton challenges Clark's integrity, Shelton knows whereof he speaks. We don't know that "more people" at Shelton's level doubted Clark's integrity. All we know is that some military honchos have criticized Clark's style anonymously and that Shelton has challenged Clark's integrity. We don't know whether these two sets of allegations are related, or whether other military leaders who have issues with Clark would characterize them as issues of integrity.
What we do know from widespread reporting is that Shelton resented Clark for going over his head to the Clinton White House, the State Department, and the media. That's the closest thing to a Clark-Shelton "integrity" issue I can find in the public record. If that's Shelton's beef, he ought to say so and let others judge whether it calls into question Clark's integrity.
A wise friend once told me you can learn more about somebody from what he says about others than from what others say about him. Given what I've heard so far from Clark and Shelton, if I had to vote for one of them based on integrity and character, I'd go with Clark.

Penn AC Names 2018 Recipient of Michael Mirabella Scholarship
Penn AC has named Seth Lopez as its 2018 recipient of the Michael Mirabella Scholarship. Seth, a sophomore at Science Leadership Academy at Beeber and Philadelphia City Rowing (PCR), receives a full scholarship to the Penn AC Gold Junior summer camp, which runs from June 12 until July 13.
"I'm excited to get faster and have better technique, but that's not the only thing that comes along with this opportunity, said Lopez. "The seniors at PCR were real leaders and inspired me to be better than I am. Since they are departing from the program I want to be able to go back to PCR and be the new leader that everyone can look up to."
PCR Executive Director Terry Dougherty said, "Seth Lopez is a hard-working young man who aspires to row in college, and he is so excited for the opportunity to go to Penn AC and improve his stroke. Seth has improved so much this year due to his dedication. He volunteered last summer for all of the PCR Learn-to-Row camps, as it allowed him to get more time on the river."
In 2016, Penn AC created the scholarship in honor of Michael John Mirabella, a promising young rower that died of cancer in December 2014 at the age of 23. The scholarship is offered each year to one athlete from Philadelphia City Rowing (PCR).
"If you can dream it, you can do it!" That was one of Michael Mirabella's favorite rowing quotes, according to his mother, Cathy Moeller.
"We are happy to recognize Seth Lopez for earning the scholarship this year and to recognize Michael Mirabella every year so that more young rowers will hear Michael's story and so that he will continue to be remembered for the great person he was," said Penn AC President Mike Wherley.
Mirabella was a very successful rower at Temple University ('14) and Absegami High School ('09) before he came to Penn AC with the dream to make the U.S. National Team. He was training with Penn AC's High Performance Group and was also one of the first to step up and volunteer to be a mentor for athletes at PCR when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the fall of 2013.
"He had an inner competitive drive that led to his successes on the water, but he was also the type of person you wanted to get to know better – very respectful and kind to others," said Wherley. "He was a great role model to have around the boathouse and was the type of rower and person we would like to see all junior rowers become."
Mirabella gave much of his time to charitable organizations. In addition to being a mentor for PCR, he joined two fellow Temple students to create Cycle4Awareness to raise money and awareness for children with special needs. In 2012, Mirabella cycled from Philadelphia to Key West, Florida to raise money for children with autism. He also cycled from Vancouver, British Columbia, to San Diego to raise money for Athletes Helping Athletes Inc.
Previous scholarship recipients from PCR:
2017 Christina LaBella (Jr. at PCR)
2016 Will Stocovaz (Sr., will attend Princeton in the fall)
2015 Margarita Amihava (Soph. at Drexel, rowed in V8 at Dad Vails)
2014 Helen "Holli" Sdao (Soph. at West Chester University)
2014 Miranda Gibson (attends Temple)
2013 James Garcia (attends Jefferson University)

Ah, bunny blackmail . . . it is going to be a great day.ReplyDeleteReplies
AJ, this bunny seems to be making it easy for the person to comply--note the proffered silky head. If the person can't manage it when it is made so simple, then I say that person doesn't deserve an unchewed cord.Delete

That's right, Sally. You provoked an even more unseemly comment out of me. Thank goodness for DELETE. I will seek professional help.Delete
It was something about like "or anything else unchewed." I knew you would be aching to know.Delete
Headrubs and snuggles - that's what I'ld do.ReplyDelete
Yes, I can just imagine us all saying, "No, nope, sorry, kidding aren't you, too busy, no matter what you do or threaten to do, I am not going to rub your head, and don't even get me started on even the thought of those long silky ears, yuck."ReplyDelete

Burning Down The House lyrics - The Used
Burning Down The House Song Lyrics
Watch out
You might get what you're after.
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger.
Burning down the house.
Hold tight
Wait till the parties over.
Hold tight
We're in for nasty weather.
Burning down the house.
Here's your ticket pack your bag:
Time for jumpin' overboard.
Transportation is here.
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are.
Fightin' fire with fire.
All wet
Hey you might need a raincoat.
Dreams walking in broad daylight.
Burning down the house.
It was once upon a place,
Sometimes i listen to myself.
Gonna come in first place.
People on their way to work:
Say baby what did you expect?
Gonna burst into flame.
Burning down the house.
My house
Is out of the ordinary.
That's right
Don't want to hurt nobody.
Burning down the house.
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet.
Everything's stuck together.
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set.
Fighting fire with fire.

I picked Into the Wild up after hearing about Sarah Beth Durst's newer book, Ice.
Into the Wild is aimed at grade-schoolers, and the language reads like it. I tend to like my fairy tale remixes to be a little more mature, but taking this for what it's intended as, it's very well done. At first I thought the stories/type characters would stick pretty closely to their origins, but Durst managed some nice twists that left me feeling like she wasn't just rehashing the usual material.
The story is about 12-year-old Julie and her mother, Rapunzel, as well as several other friends who escaped "the Wild" and now live in the real world (such as the flighty "Cindy," selfish "Goldy" and Julie's "brother" Puss in Boots). Until someone breaks into the well at the Wishing Well Motel and makes a wish -- which sets the Wild free to grow and shape their lives again.
In the end I thought it was a nice blend of several stories, with some new ideas. I enjoyed the characters and I think Durst has a nice little package of a story here. Nothing too in depth, but perfect if you're just looking for a light read.
There is a sequel, Out of the Wild, which I haven't checked out yet (but I will). This might be slightly misleading, because the story isn't left hanging with characters in dire straights; however, the possibilities for the sequel are fairly clear.

Audacity in Shiites clash with Nigerian Police, by Ikpa Isaac
The Shiites in Nigeria have a strong affinity with Iran. It is a country regarded as the hub of global terrorism and the Shiites in Nigeria operates under the deceptive tag of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria.
Over the years, they have remained audacious outlaws. Days back, the sect members again violently clashed with the Nigerian police, which attempted to stop their illegal procession to Zaria from Kano city.
The violent interface with the police occurred despite the ban slammed on the sect both by the Kano State Police Command and the Kaduna State Government in Nigeria. In all the instances of the loathsome sect's clashes with security agents in the country, they disguise under the banner of religious processions, weird in its entirety and in dissonance with laws of the country.
Led by an Islamic preacher, Sheik Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, for nearly four decades, Shiites in Nigeria have proved to be a thorn in the flesh of Nigerians, with their irreligious bluster, strange doctrines and easy inclination to violence. Zaria, Shiites or IMN's host community and precisely, their headquarters in Kaduna state of Nigeria has known no peace since its introduction in Nigeria.
Therefore the sect's recent clash with the Police and other such violent confrontations with members of the public is just an apt reminder of the adroit disposition of these irreligious miscreants, as above laws of the land, who can even attack law enforcement officers on lawful duty.
In the latest encounter with the Police last Monday, another Shiite leader, Sheik Sanusi Abdulkadir Koki, led them from Kano city on a procession to Zaria, Kaduna State for the annual feast of Ashura or what they also refer to as the Arbaeen Trek, for mourning martyr Imam Husain (AS). And at Kwanar Dawaki in Dawakin Kudu LGA of Kano State, the police sought to stop the sect's procession, having received complaints about its illegal procession, with a high tendency to cause its usual public disturbances or breach of peace.
Like in the case of the clash with Nigerian soldiers in December 2015, rather than obey the police order, the Shiites exhumed their inclination to violence by aggressively confronting the police, with dangerous weapons, resulting in deaths on both sides.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Potiskum, Yobe State, the preceding day, road blocks mounted by Nigerian soldiers on the outskirts of the town tracked down Shiites members in trucks heading to Kano, the first destination of this year's annual Arbaeen Trek, from where they would move in a procession to Zaria.
Surprisingly, when a check was conducted on them, assorted dangerous weapons, such as guns, knives, cudgels, cutlasses, bows and arrows among others were found in their possession. One would think they were on a hunting expedition; a tale more believable than their claims of journeying for a religious feast. It was testimony to the bizarre doctrines of Shiites as well as the indulgence of body and soul of adherents in violence.
The IGP, Ibrahim Idris, also testified to the violence nature of the Shiites, who create avoidable upheavals frequently.
Idris explained that the Shiites "attacked our officers, killed one of our officers, one has sustained an arrow wound on his head."
This obviously illegal assemblage of Shiites mobilized their members from parts of the North with a mission to congregate in Zaria, the same state government had declared the sect and its activities illegal. But the most resentful aspect of the entire drama is the Shiites guts to kill and injure state security agents so wantonly.
Had the police reacted to Shiites senseless affront, which was capable of provoking state reprisals, more deaths would have been recorded. And the same sect would have rushed to public domain with all manner of accusations against the Police, including the use of unreasonable force on Shiites.
Like the IGP noted, it is the constitutional duty of the police to stop any aberration on public law and order. The confrontation of the Police and killing of any officer by the sect is condemnable in all ramifications.
Human rights organizations have again remained mute because they feel security agents in Nigeria don't have rights to be protected or deserve to live. And when organizations like Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch eventually break their silence with a report, the security agents would be the first casualty of their songs of human rights violations. This is unacceptable!
Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State revealed while slamming a ban on the provocative sect that IMN in Nigeria is an illegal sect thus: "The Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the Zaria Clashes of 12-14 December 2015 found that the IMN is not a registered organization, that it has a paramilitary wing and that its members do not recognize or respect the laws of the country and the duly constituted authorities that have the responsibility to secure and administer the country."
It is difficult to explain why Shiites have failed to appreciate that since it is not a registered organization in Nigeria, the ban by the Kaduna State Government has proscribed the sect in any other part of the country, hence the headquarters of the sect is in Kaduna.
Additional, what is the rationale behind a religious sect wielding lethal weapons in the guise of observing a religious festival? It is not only criminal, but stretching the patience and hospitality of government to cracking limits. The Shiites members responsible for the clash should immediately be arrested, investigated and prosecuted to serve as deterrence.
While commending the restraint of the Police to the beastly acts of the Shiites, the Nigerian government must ensure Shiite movement ceases to operate anywhere in the land until they do the needful by giving it a legal status and a defined decent code of operation.
Finally, the Kano incident has exposed the emergence of another Shiites leader in Nigeria identified as Sheik Sanusi Abdulkadir Koki who led the onslaught on security agents. He should be arrested and charged for murder of security agents and breach of public peace, before he recoups his sect members for reprisal attacks on the state.
Enough of the affront on the Nigerian state, by this decadent Shiite sect. As the sect scouts for paid conmen in the guise of human rights groups or some NGOs to defend their illegality, government should expedite actions for the arrest and trial of the suspected Shiites.
The recurring fact is that Shiites are not the only Muslims in Nigeria. But other Muslims worship in mosques and do not brandish weapons or attack security agents in the course of worship. So, why must Shiites conduct their religious affairs on streets or roads, with lethal weapons?
The actions of the IMN members in obstinacy demand deeper inquest by security agents. IMN's links with Iran is suspicious and if taken for granted, Nigeria could be unknowingly breeding another wing of Boko of Haram terrorists with ties and sponsorship from ISIS. But like the sect fruitlessly tried to blackmail the Nigerian Army and the COAS, General Tukur Buratai, over the Zaria incident, such campaigns on the Police in the Kano will also backfire.

22 Dec Do It Yourself Debt Settlement
Credit card and medical debt can often be settled for pennies on the dollar. You do not need to hire a fancy fly by night late night television advertising debt settlement company to settle your debt. Give it a try yourself. You will probably realize a considerable savings.
I have been filing bankruptcy cases for over 30 years. During that time I tried various methods to see what worked and did not work for clients before filing bankruptcy . In one test case, I volunteered my legal services pro bono with a young man who owed over $20,000 in credit card debt on 6 accounts. He had some money available, but he did not want to use it all to pay debts. To start, I suggested he invest half of his money in a 6 month certificate of deposit, so it would gain interest and be available in case he needed to use it. Then he began calling his creditors. I coached him on what to say and how much to offer. We started low, usually at 15 per cent of the debt. There were several phone calls to and from creditors as he tested the water to see what would be accepted and what would not. In some cases, we sent seed money, a small payment, a token of good faith to keep the collector interested. Some times he would go for weeks without hearing from anyone. I kept on him to initiate the calls to the remaining debt collectors and to stay motivated, and he continued to settle one account after the other. As negotiations heated, he texted and emailed me furiously for his next steps and what to say. We kept pounding away to get the settlement we wanted.
It took almost eight months, but he was able to settle each account for less than 50%, some for much less. In each case, the collector took considerably less than the amount first demanded, thus proving the point that you should not hire a debt settlement company to do what you can do yourself over the phone for pennies on the dollar.

The federal government has signalled it would consider a shark cull on the NSW north coast after a teenage surfer was mauled by a great white.
It comes as the NSW government announces a new three-month trial of shark-spotting drones for the area, and additional drum lines off the coast.
Federal Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg says he's open to proposals for a cull of great white sharks.
"I absolutely put human safety first and foremost in my mind," he told ABC TV, adding that the measures would need federal approval because sharks are a vulnerable species.
There have also been calls for nets to be installed along the NSW north coast but Primary Industries Minister Niall Blair says it would take years before installation.
"Even if we had the green light ... we could be years off," he told Macquarie Radio on Wednesday.
The comments came after Mr Blair's visit to Ballina on Wednesday to discuss preventative measures with the North Coast community following Monday's shark attack.
Cooper Allen, 17, survived with a few stitches after he was bitten in the leg by a near-four-metre shark while surfing off Ballina's Lighthouse Beach.
Prompted by the attack, eight additional smart drum lines will be deployed along the north coast in addition to the three-month drone trial.
Smart drum lines, which are baited hooks attached to buoys, work by sending alerts once a shark is hooked.
This allows authorities to come and tag the animal.
"What we've got here is a suite of measures we haven't seen before in NSW," Mr Blair said.
The Baird government's next phase of drone trials will involve up to three flights a day on beaches over the north and south coast.
Lighthouse Beach was one of two sites where a shark barrier trial was called off over winter after the barriers failed to withstand rough conditions.
Five of the 11 recent attacks in northern NSW have occurred at Ballina beaches, including one involving the death of Japanese surfer Tadashi Nakahara last year.
Legislation prohibits great white sharks being culled in NSW.
Ballina Greens member Tamara Smith described shark culls and meshing as a "quick fix" and said they would not prevent attacks.
"Installing a shark net in our region would very likely lead to large numbers of dolphin deaths and to even get a net would involve a long legal process," Ms Smith said.
She has called for a feasibility study for shark spotting at Lighthouse Beach, a method she says ranked number one in South Africa for non-lethal shark mitigation strategies.

Sydney Leathers now modeling... leather
Anyway, following a slew of tabloid covers and on-air interviews (the latest of which was with Howard Stern), offers to do porn, and an awkward bikini photo shoot, Leathers latest fame-whore move is so awesomely fitting it's almost too good: Sydney Leathers is modeling leather.
Enterprising clothing company Apparel NY has tapped Leathers as its latest "face." "ApparelNY is pleased to announce that we have engaged Sydney Leathers to model our existing leather line and, later in August, our new styles for this fall," the website proclaims. In addition to leather wares in "very unique designs", Apparel NY also sells wholesale bathrobes and fleece throws. It's that kind of website. But props to owner Shafqat Khan for getting us (and now you) to look at it. (Though, according to the New York Post, it was Leathers who cold-emailed Khan to offer her services.)
For more creepy details about the photo shoot, here you go.
