When it comes to salvaging boats in distress
offshore, a helicopter can be an invaluable tool.Story by David Mitchell Photos by Jeni Mitchell
Not long ago, our company, Overseas Salvage in Sampson Cay, Exuma, got the call about a 72-foot sportfisherman that had run over a piece of towing hawser in the ocean off Haiti. The hawser wrapped both props and winched them toward each other with such force that it ripped the struts out of the bottom of the boat. The engines were disabled and the sportfish was abandoned, sinking as it drifted toward Cuba.
This was clearly a case for our Robinson 44, a four-seat helicopter with a range of 300 miles. We primarily use the helicopter to respond to vessels in peril offshore that need immediate assistance while our salvage vessel, the 64-foot Amazing Grace, is en route from Sampson Cay. At a speed of 10 knots, it can take many hours for the tug to get salvers and equipment on site, and in a situation like this one, a mere hour could mean the difference between a complete loss and a saved vessel.
The helicopter is the perfect tool for this application. It allows us to reach isolated locations relatively quickly and lower equipment and personnel down to the vessel in peril, regardless of not having a place to land. In cases like this one, it can be that one three-inch pump and a qualified salver who is flown in via helicopter that saves the entire yacht.
My father, Marcus Mitchell, founder of Overseas Salvage, and Mike Mieth, our salvage partner of over 20 years, both are qualified helicopter pilots and salvage masters. The three of us have all undergone specific training with the helicopter to conduct these salvage operations. In most cases, I am the salvage jumper, although my father and Mike are also qualified. Balancing on the skid outside the helicopter, I drop the salvage pump, enclosed in a watertight box that is attached to a lanyard. I then undo my safety harness and jump into the water while holding the other end of the lanyard. I swim to the vessel in distress, climb aboard and then pull the pump box up after me using the lanyard.
An important aspect of this immediate response technique is the mitigation of losses to the owner of the vessel or insurance company by reducing the level of damage-causing variables. For instance, while a vessel is grounded on a reef and being battered by large seas or even being continuously rocked across the reef by gentle but consistent swells, her hull takes tremendous stress and over time begins to break apart. By getting onboard as soon as possible, we can rig anchors to help reduce some of the movement over the reef and extend the integrity of the hull. This in turn allows the vessel to stay dry inside and in a re-floatable condition until the tug can arrive to pull her off.
Another great use for the helicopter is to provide support to an ongoing salvage operation that may take an extended period of time. Additional personnel and equipment can be flown in to areas that are too rough for seaplane landings. That was the situation with the local mailboat, the Grand Master, which was grounded on the rocks off Georgetown, Great Exuma, last year. That was a really difficult case. Mike had to hover right over the mailboat so I could lower equipment down to it, but the boat was rocking up and down, and surf was breaking on the reef around it. I was leaning out the helicopter with the door off, lowering down pumps and other gear, aware that if I fell, it would have been like falling on concrete.
Finally, on rare occasions, we have used the helicopter for transporting injured persons, however we prefer to leave this task to medical professionals. Saving boats is our business.
Flying the Blue FlagText by Bill Ando Photo Courtesy of Cape Eleuthera Resort
The Bahamas is rightly proud of its participation in the environmentally focused Blue Flag marina program. To date, the country has three marinas certified to fly the Blue Flag, and it's not a designation that is easily achieved. The program's controlling agency, Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), located in Copenhagen, Denmark, is not only serious about the initial award, but it also conducts yearly follow-up inspections to make sure the marina is maintained up to code.
Conceived in 1987, the Blue Flag program covers both marinas and beaches. In order to achieve Blue Flag status, a marina must meet strict criteria in three different categories: environmental education and information, environmental management, and safety and services.
To date, 639 marinas in 41 countries have been awarded the Blue Flag. The three Bahamian marinas are Old Bahama Bay, West End, Grand Bahama; Atlantis on Paradise Island, and Cape Eleuthera Resort and Marina, Powell Pointe, Eleuthera.
Earlston McPhee of The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, said that in addition to these three marinas, "Bimini Big Game Club has applied and perhaps by 2012, they will launch the Flag. We also have a marina that is being constructed in Hope Town that wishes to become a Blue Flag marina. We are working with them."
Stephen Kappeler, Cape Eleuthera Resort and Marina general manager, and a committed staff helped take the marina from barely existing to a Blue Flag property. "It's not easy, but it's worth it," he says, adding that there are myriad details that must be dealt with, such as having a dedicated location for disposal of all excess fuel and spent batteries. Then there's dockside vessel toilet pump-out. "That's something not every marina has. It costs ten thousand dollars," he says.
Water quality in the marina also comes into play. The water must be visually clean without any evidence of pollution, such as oil or litter. "The marina flushes itself twice daily, naturally," says Stephen of his facility. Cape Eleuthera Resort also has its own RO (reverse osmosis) plant.
A Blue Flag marina must also maintain an educational component, offering at least three environmental education activities to guests and staff. To satisfy that requirement, Cape Eleuthera Marina created an interactive schedule with the students and faculty of The Island School and Cape Eleuthera Institute.
It is just one of the myriad details that go into proudly flying the Blue Flag.

I used an Airhawk on top of the Sargent for the first few days of the trip dead-heading west, but then stowed the Airhawk once I hit Colorado. Moving around a lot while riding is a key for me to stay comfy.
I honestly think the Sargent finally broke in during this trip (I've put probably 25k miles on this one, and bought it used on the Flea Market last year). I tried another Sargent on this bike previously, and ended one 775 mile day in extreme pain on it - it was sold the next day. Just like everyone's butt is different, I guess all seats are different too.
My wife has also tried Sargent, Rick Mayer and Corbin passenger seats, and her final/favorite set-up is an OEM standard GS (not-GSA) seat with an Airhawk pad wrapped with non-slip shelf liner. She's good for 200 mile stints with this set-up, before we both need get off and stretch our legs.

Although I didn't manage to get the First Press, but I did order in-time just to get the poster.
Jesscat told me the poster is not the CD cover, nor a new fanart, so I figure it's probably the official Digimon Xros Wars poster that you see every where.
And yup!
CDJAPAN has great service as always, tape my CD along with the bubble wrap around it to the box, and the Poster was wraped with 2 layers and thousands of tables. Even the box was well sealed. Took me a bit longer than usual to open it, but it's all good, cuz everything is well pack :)

Cudos to Archie for compiling his annual top 50 big board. I never thought I'd be able to compile a big board of my own. Instead, I was interested in doing a community BTB big board, but the fanposts don't allow for multiple polls. But, since I started doing the combine positional rankings, it was easy. Now, I planned on combining all the positional rankings, but I didn't expect that they'd come out to total 46 prospects, pretty close to a normal top 50. If you add some of my honorable mentions, it rounds out at over 50. Archie's big board comprises all positions, mine is very Cowboys focused. I've got the four positions that would impact the Cowboys the most: Defensive End, Outside Linebacker, Cornerback, and Guard/Center. If you haven't seen my positional ranking series for each of those, click the link on each. I also want to say that I did not include any safety prospects for these exercises. Yes, safety is a need. But, there are two things. First, safety would be a really big need had they not extended Sensabaugh, which pretty much limits you to finding only a free safety. Two, this years safety crop is very weak, there are only a handful of names worth talking about. Next year, I'm told, is the real time to get the safety of the future.
I am so not in love with the first round this year. We have some big weaknesses that need filling especially on defense. People are seemingly in love with guys such as Fletcher Cox, but I just don't see it. The sad truth is there is not a special defensive player such as JJ Watt in this draft, who you'd be happy to spend your first pick on. The only guy who I'd truly be happy with at #14 is fan favorite David DeCastro. DDC is a blue chip prospect at a position of weakness, and thats what you want out of your first rounder.
There are just so many players in the first round who I feel are all hype. They don't necessarily have the athletic measureables, and they don't necessarily have the impactful college production. Yet, every scout-type in the country shouts their names from the roof tops. Michael Brockers comes to mind as one of those guys you might think is good, just because somebody told you he was good.
In this draft, there are just too many later round guys who flash the athleticism, who have the college production, to make me sour on the idea of reaching for a over-hyped guy in the first round. For my money, I'd rather find a diamond in the rough than a cubic-zirconium in a display case.
Now, a word on the Cowboys tertiary needs such as third WR and 2nd TE. I think the Cowboys could go through this draft and not draft either of those positions, I really do. I'm a regular listener of the Cowboys radio shows The Lunch Break and Talkin' Cowboys. Usually I like some of what Mickey Spagnola has to say, but more often than not he says something I just can't agree with. His position is that the Cowboys must draft that 3rd WR. His reasoning is that out of our small treasure trove of 'back-up' 'developmental' wide receivers, only Ogltree has some actual, live NFL catches. So, he proposes we draft another WR in round 4 or 5. Ok, now, why would you want to do that exactly? The guy you draft in round 4 or 5 is going to come onto the team with how many NFL catches? Zero. Exactly the reason he states for not trusting any of the guys who are already on the team. Plus, that is completely ignoring Dwayne Harris, who we drafted last year. Sure, he was drafted in round 6, but so what? Are you saying that if he was drafted just a round or two earlier, you'd trust him more? Give him a chance, give all of them a chance. Heck, Ogletree was re-signed to compete, so let him compete already.
Also, 2nd tight end? Mickey says the primary reason for filling that spot is because nobody can do what Jason Witten does if he goes down. Ok, fair point. But, what if two guys can do what he does? They brought in Vickers, so if you had a down where Witten would block, have Vickers block. John Phillips ain't chopped liver. If you were going to have Witten out running a route, have Phillips run that route. You'll never replace the pass catching production of Witten if he goes down with Phillips, but neither will any FA TE or draft pick either. Now isn't the time to draft Witten's successor, especially over a defensive player who could help us now.
One more thing... Felix Jones and drafting a running back? Running back is not a position you really need to draft in advance. You disagree? Well look at DeMarco Murray. Drafted in the 3rd round and stepped into his rookie year rushing for almost 1,000 yards in about 6 games. If the Cowboys really want to let Felix walk next year, they can draft his replacement the same year. Its not like cornerback where we would have to draft Jenkins replacement this year.
Alright folks, here we go. Let me first explain my methodology for the round projections, so no one is confused. I'm going to go by each prospects ranking on CBSSports really big board with respect to the Cowboys picks in each round. So, if a players rank is within a certain round, but is before the Cowboy's pick in that round, then they project a round earlier. For example, in the 2nd round, if a player is ranked at 44, he is out of reach of the Cowboy's pick at 45 and must be projected in the 1st. However, if someone is close, I'll go ahead and project that they could easily slide down a round. *Those denoted with a Slide are ranked between Cowboys picks and could fall.
Round 1
- Morris Claiborne CB
- David DeCastro OG
- Quinton Coples OLB/DE
- Stephon Gilmore CB
- Melvin Ingram OLB
- Kevin Zeitler OG
- Kendall Reyes DE - Slide
- Nick Perry OLB/DE
- Vinny Curry OLB - Slide
- Fletcher Cox DE
- Andre Branch OLB - Slide
- Shea McClellin OLB - Slide
- Whitney Mercilus OLB
- Dre Kirkpatrick CB
- Armini Silatolu OG - Slide
- Janoris Jenkins CB - Slide
- Chandler Jones OLB/DE - Slide
Simply put, if Claiborne is there you take him, if DeCastro is there you take him. I'd take Gilmore over both Kirkpatrick and Jenkins. Coples and Ingram are boom or bust picks. Zeitler has become a fan favorite, but I don't think he's in play for the Cowboys, he'll go early 2nd at the latest I think. Not much else to say really. I'm sure not very many people would agree with my 1st round order. But hey, I told you I wasn't too thrilled with the 1st round.
Round 2
- Bruce Irvin OLB
- Tyrone Crawford DE - Slide
- Josh Robinson CB
- Brandon Brooks OG
- Mike Martin DE - Slide
- Casey Hayward CB - Slide
- Kelechi Osemele OG
To me, the 2nd round is the real treasure-trove of the draft. A lot of interesting and intriguing names here. Tough choices too. If the top 5 of these guys were all available at 45, I would weep. Who do you take? Hard decisions. For me, I'd have to take Bruce Irvin here at 45. Think his sign-breaking character concerns are going to have him slide? Think again. This guy is not getting out of the 2nd round according to the rankings. After him, I'd have to take the highly athletic, highly productive Tyrone Crawford. Then you have athletic freaks Robinson, Brooks, and Martin. Out of these guys, you have to hope one of them falls into the 3rd. But, only the DE's look likely to slide. Hayward and Osemele are worst case scenario picks in this round. Honorable mention: Alameda Ta'amu NT/DT.
Round 3
- Ron Brooks CB
- Michael Brewster OC - Slide
- Nigel Bradham OLB - Slide
- Kheeston Randall DE - Slide
- Josh LeRibeus OG - Slide
- Ben Jones OC
Not as many interesting names here in the 3rd round. If anyone falls out of the 2nd, you take them. Here, I'd take Brewster over Ben Jones. Ron Brooks and Bradham are flyers, you'd hope they fall. A lot of tweeners here who could fall. Honorable mention: Chase Minnifield CB.
Round 4
- Derek Wolfe DE
- Jonathan Massaqoui OLB
- Senio Kelemete OG
- Philip Blake OC
Not too many names projected here in the 4th where we have two picks. Derek Wolfe is a must take, probably at 113. If Massaquoi is BPA at 135, he'd be a very solid pick. Honorable Mention: Omar Bolden CB.
Round 5
- Jake Bequette OLB/DE
- Mike Harris CB - Slide
- Lucas Nix OG
- Coryell Judie CB
If Jake Bequette is there at 152, you run the pick up to the podium. Honorable mention: David Molk OC.
Round 6
- Coty Sensabaugh CB - Slide
- Ryan Miller OG
- Rishaw Johnson OG
- Brandon Lindsey OLB - Slide
I really like the athleticism Sensabaugh has. He could slide, but I wouldn't be disappointed spending 186 on him. Ryan Miller would be a very good guard prospect. Honorable mention: Akiem Hicks NT/DT.
Round 7
- Garth Gerhart OC
- Robert Blanton CB
- Terence Frederick CB
- Corey White CB/SS - UDFA
If by round 7 you find you still need a center, Gerhart would be a great choice here. If you still need a 2nd or even 3rd CB, Robert Blanton has a lot of athleticism you could develop. Honorable mention: Nicolas Jean-Baptiste NT/DT.
I'm going to offer you two mocks that I think would be the best combination of the talent I have laid out for you. One mock with us taking DeCastro and one without. The Cowboys will very likely be drafting a guard, so where that guard is taken effects what you do with the rest of the draft. For these mocks I'm going to project that if a guy is close to sliding, he will slide (just for fun, and best case scenario). Let's start with the DeCastro mock.
14. David DeCastro OG
45. Bruce Irvin OLB
81. Ron Brooks CB
113. Derek Wolfe DE
135. Philip Blake OC
152. Jake Bequette OLB/DE
186. Coty Sensabaugh CB
213. Robert Blanton CB
Total: 2 OL, 1 OLB, 2 DE, 3 CB
So, in this scenario you've got you're all-pro guard, a guy who could replace Costa, Spencer's replacement, two DEs who could start or develop to start, and carpet bombed Jenkins replacement. You like?
Alright, mock number 2. In this mock DeCastro is gone. So what would I do? I'd trade down into the 20's to pick me up a 2nd rounder. I'm not sure if a 2nd rounder is realistic for a trade down, but heck this is a mock.
25?. Stephon Gilmore CB
45. Bruce Irvin OLB
50?. Brandon Brooks OG
81. Tyrone Crawford DE
113. Michael Brewster OC
145. Derek Wolfe DE
152. Jake Bequette OLB/DE
186. Akiem Hicks NT
213. Coty Sensabaugh CB
Wow? Wow.
There you have it folks, about 50 prospects who could help us shore up our weaknesses on OL and DL, replace Spencer, and replace Jenkins. More than anything thats what I think this draft should be about.
The Cowboys are going to throw us curve balls in this coming draft for sure, think about last year. We all knew about Tyron Smith. But, did any of us know about ANY of the other draft picks? Pretty sure we didn't. I'm sure to be disappointed with the Cowboys passing on some of these guys who I'm really high on. This is just my analysis of the prospects who could strengthen what I consider our 4 biggest areas of weakness.
On April 26, I'll be chowing down on pizza, eagerly awaiting the Cowboys pick at #14. See you there.

JU to face Texas Tech on Saturday at 3 p.m. EST
Related Links
The JU men's basketball team will be making its second trip west this week for its NIT second round matchup against Texas Tech on Saturday at 3 p.m. EST
The game will not be televised, but fans can catch the JU Sports Network broadcast with Barry Milligan and Artis Gilmore, with the Bono's Barbecue Pregame Show airing at 2:45 p.m.
"We're looking forward to the challenge of playing a good Texas Tech team," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "While the win on Tuesday was nice, we can't rest on that. We have to focus all of our attention on Texas Tech."
JU (20-11) exorcised some demons with the upset win over Arizona State, snapping a 41-game losing streak to BCS schools that dated back to 1994 and picked up the school's first postseason win since 1974.
Now, the Dolphins are looking to extend some history.
JU has never won a game in a postseason and not advanced to the Final Four of that event. The Dolphins have won in the postseason just three times previously (1970 NCAA, 1972 NIT and 1974 NIT) and played in the semifinals of each event.
For Ben Smith, Tuesday's game added just another page to his legacy at JU.
The 3-pointer at the buzzer was the second game-winning shot of his career and capped a night where he moved past Ronnie Murphy for second on the all-time scoring list at JU. He did not come out of the game, being the first Dolphin in six years to play every minute of a game.
Joining Smith in the legacy making was senior forward Lehmon Colbert, who picked up his fifth double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

B1G and PAC-12 Agree to Have an Inter-conference Game for all Teams Starting in 2017
Other parts of the agreement include cross-promotion of each others' conference networks. This is a brilliant move for both sides, as a B1G/PAC-12 Challenge would bring much national attention during a time when teams typically play cupcakes. There are a lot of possibilities: the best game of the 12 being at the Rose Bowl or Soldier Field? What about a double-header at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy? Maybe put one of Wisconsin's games in Green Bay? I don't see how the B1G can go wrong here.

This is a great quilt set for my teenage sons bedroom. Actually he picked it out. The quilt and shams were exactly as pictured in the photograph. The colors were vibrant. I washed the items before I put them on the bed and they washed up beautifully and are very soft.
poor craftsmanship on the sewing of the quilt. Batting was coming out in spots, materials didn't match up in spots where it was sewn. Just not at all what I expected. Also stated as oversized and was smaller than king size quilt I already owned.
I ordered two of the twin sets for one room and they are just perfect for the room. The look just like the picture online They seem sturdy, very soft. Very happy with this purchase.
My grandsons love their new Red, White, & Blue bedroom. " Overstock" has good quality products and prices I can afford.
I've re-ordered a new one in King & awaiting it's arrival, however, this one (queen) the trim stitching was already coming loose & about 4" was out upon arrival. ?? really? appears no inspections are done prior to shipping. Also Queen size too small so ordered King. Pictures obviously show beds with larger sizes as a queen size on a queen bed does not look this way in the picture. If you want it to look like a bedspread versus comforter, order the next size larger. Heaviness is awesome & colors awesome. Again, I wish I'd receive this review 6 months from now to see how the quilt holds up & colors hold up after washing. I believe reviews need to depict the true value of items once they've been used.
This quilt is better than I expected. Perfect mid weight . Would definitely recommend to anyone
Love these quilts. Highly recommend them. Bought two sets for the bunk beds at the lake house.
I purchased two quilt sets for our summer cottage on Cape Cod. I was able to put them on the beds this past weekend and was extremely pleased with the color brightness and quality of the sets. The quilts certainly perked up the bedroom to my great pleasure

The 2012 U.S. Open is less than two weeks away, but before golfers can contend for the 2012 title, roughly half the field still needs to qualify. Sectional qualifying will take place Monday with hundreds of golfers across the United States hoping to advance to play in the U.S. Open.
Sectional qualifying will be held at 11 courses across the United States Monday with roughly 60 spots in the U.S. Open up for grabs. More than 9,000 players entered qualifying, but only 550 advanced to sectional qualifying. The USGA already held two international qualifiers.
The sectional qualifying round consists of a one-day 36-hole qualifying round. There are a few slots in the U.S. Open available at each qualifying site. The 2012 U.S. Open will feature 156 players, 76 players have already qualified via an exemption, while another 17 qualified in the two international sectionals. That leaves 63 spots for the 11 United States sectional qualifiers.
Players who qualify will head to San Francisco, California to play in the 112th U.S. Open at The Olympic Club.

Foreign Capital and Skilled-unskilled Wage Inequality in a Developing Economy with Non-traded Goods
AbstractThe existing theoretical literature does not take into consideration the existence of non-traded goods and the nature of capital mobility between the traded and the non-traded sectors in analyzing the consequences of liberalized investment policies on the relative wage inequality in the developing countries. The present paper purports to fill in this gap using two four-sector general equilibrium models reasonable for a developing economy. We have found that inflows of foreign capital usually improve the wage inequality when the low-skill sector is capital-intensive. But, the relative wage gap may widen if the high-skill sector is capital-intensive. When the non-traded sector produces a non-traded final commodity wage inequality worsens if the low-skill sector is capital-intensive and employs only a very small proportion of the unskilled workforce and if the primary export sector is unskilled labour-intensive. Appropriate policy recommendations for improving the wage inequality have also been made.

text: ALIDA KNOBLOCH's Page Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! We are trying to raise money to further the research needed to find a cure and raise awareness for Alida's condition known as NEHI. Alida was diagnosed with the condition at around 8 months old, after several stays in the hospital for what appeared to be a viral pneumonia that never really seemed to get better. As any parent will tell you seeing your child sick and not knowing exactly why or how to fix it is the most helpless feeling imaginable! We wouldn't wish it on anyone, but there is a certain relief that comes with finally getting a diagnoses. But what isn't a relief is then finding out that your child's condition is so rare, there are only a hand full of doctors that know anything about it and less than 1000 people in the entire U.S. and possibly the world that have the condition. This fundraiser is just one small part of the effort to correct that problem. The ChILD Foundation is trying to raise 30,000 dollars specifically for NEHI research and any support you can give will help and be greatly appreciated. Alida is doing well but we need to find a cure for her and all the other kids diagnosed with NEHI. Donating through this website is fast, simple, totally secure and tax deductable! Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Sincerely and with much Love, The Knobloch's

I wrote about it already and most readers didn't seem to understand the idea that other teams may actually want Lind, so I thought I'd post something from my latest read.
"Fielder actually can help Anthopoulos upgrade the pitching staff, because his arrival would makeAdam Lind expendable. There would be ample interest in Lind, who averaged 28 home runs and 91 RBI over the past three seasons. And he's signed to a club-friendly extension, making it easier to entice the Cubs (Matt Garza), A's (Gio Gonzalez) or Rays (Wade Davis), all of whom are looking for a first baseman."
Only comments with constructive conversation please.

In most of the history of the Middle and New Kingdom periods of ancient Egypt, the capital city was Thebes (Luxor), but it changed during the 18th dynasty. In about 1350 B.C., Akhenaten (aka Akhnaton or Ikhnaton or Amenhotep IV or Neferkheperure Amenhotep, or in Greek, Amenophis) moved the capital to Akhetaton, which means the horizon of the (solar disk) Aton. We call this city Amarna or El-Amarna.
Akenhaten is known as the heretic king because he refocused the religion of Egypt onto the specific, solar-disk aspect of the sun god, Aten, and while he initially allowed others to worship different god, by his reign's end, he was less accommodating. Later rulers considered him a heretic for rejecting Amon. The city we call Amarna was named Akhetaten. Akhenaten changed his name from Amenhotep to reflect his religion. Nefertiti, his wife, shared in the ceremonies of the religion of Aton.
Amarna is not just the city's name, but also the label for a less than two-decade-long period of Egyptian history during which Akhenaten and his successors (notably, Tutankhamen) ruled. After the death of Akhenaten, Tutankhamen reverted to the religion of Amon, and moved the Egyptian capital back to Thebes.
A woman working in the fields looking for material to use as fertilizer in 1887 ran into the hardened tablets that held the inscribed tablets of the Amarna letters. They represent mostly Babylonian cuneiform diplomatic correspondence between Akhenaten or his father (Amenhotep III) and other area kings. [Source: William H. Propp "Amarna Letters." The Oxford Companion to the Bible. Bruce M. Metzger and Michael D. Coogan, eds. Oxford University Press Inc. 1993.]
Egyptian Terms Glossary
The Amarna letters are clay tablets from the correspondence of Amenhotep III and Akhenaten with the Great Kings of Syria-Palestine, as well as with vassals. There are 350 Amarna letters, first revealed in the late 19th C by local peasants at Amarna.

1. Sending Boozer to Miami will make him happy and he will play well. As a fan of the game, I want to see Boozer making post defenders look helpless. I love his post game so much - the spins, the lefty scoops and dunks, the baseline fading J....that's all good basketball and I am happy to watch it.
2. And if he plays well, we don't want him anywhere near a Western Conference team.
3. Keeping him in Miami will keep Dwayne Wade in Miami.
4. Keeping Dwayne Wade in Miami will entice Lamar Odom out of LA, which will weaken LA in two ways, 1) no Lamar Odom, 2) No calming presence for Artest. Artest has behaved admirably the past couple years, but he's a nutcase and a time bomb. The papers say Odom is pals with Artest and that would be good for the locker room. I want LA's locker room to be as chaotic as a 3rd world revolution, and losing Odom to the Heat could do that.
5. If we don't get Tyrus Thomas, I don't especially care who we get. No matter who they are, they will be an upgrade over Harpring and Collins, so no matter what, we'll be better than last year. And as others have pointed out, the most important thing about a Boozer trade is simply trading Boozer. He needs out; we need him out. So it might as well be to Miami.
6. Booze and Odom to Miami suddenly make the Heat a contender. The East could be tough with Atlanta growing up, Boston holding on and Cleveland playing like hungry Pit Bulls. Miami is closer to contending with these folks than Chicago+Boozer. Derrick Rose is a beast, but giving him Booze is not the same as giving Wade a 20/10 guy. That's like giving a teenager the keys to a new car vs. giving Danica Patrick the keys to a new car.
ARGGHHHH WHO CARES, JUST TRADE HIM ALREADY!!!!! i want to see Deron do some back flips for something other than charity! lol

Fetish Fantasy Series Cat O'Nine Tails
- Ships by vendor MC
Fetish Fantasy Beaded Cat O Nine Tails
- Color: Black
- Brand: Fetish Fantasy Series
- Manufacturer: Pipedream Products
- Weight: 1.44 Ounces
This bondage accessory is not for the faint of heart. Only if you've been bad, and we mean really bad, will you come face to face, or perhaps tails to tails, with the Cat O'Nine Tails whip. This black leather whip features a studded handle and wrist strap for secure grip, and long tails for plenty of sexy sting. Consider yourself warned!
While looking to get into a bit of whip play I was looking for something inexpensive but not throwaway either. This whip fit the bill perfectly. At a reasonable price it isn't the most quality product you'll find, but if you're just looking to try it out to see how you feel about it, it's a great place to start. It's a decent enough size and the leather can have a great feel to it. I did purchase in a store, so did notice that from one to another they did have a slightly different feel, so I'm not sure I'd purchase a whip online. That said, this is a solid purchase because even if it is a bit rough when you get it in, there are things you can do to soften the leather a bit.
Was this review helpful for you?
The first time I cracked this whip, it snapped in half! I wasn't even hitting anyone with it, just gave it a flick. It snapped right though the cheap balsa wood bull**** it was made of. It was nothing more than disappointing and ...well... you get what you paid for.
Was this review helpful for you?
This whip can be used for all sorts of great things, teasing, pleasuring, painful lessons, and S&M. This will arouse both partners in the relationship
Was this review helpful for you?
This is the first whip I have purchased and OMG they should charge more for this thing. It's awesome! Highly suggest and well put together. It means getting the job done and this little guy does the trick!
Was this review helpful for you?
My submissive playmates love it when I use this on them! Good price and gives a wicked nice sting!
Was this review helpful for you?
Pipedream Products Fetish Fantasy Cat-o-Nine Tails Whip is a whip that means business. Metal studs innocently decorates the handle, but don't let that fool you. The leather straps will whip and sting your partner in ways they won't soon forget.

CNN's Barbara Starr reported on the Situation Room today that a source tells her that in tomorrow's closed-door hearings on Capitol Hill, former CIA Director David Petraeus intends to tell lawmakers that he "knew" that the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya was carried out by the Ansar al-Sharia militia group. He will also indicate that his initial briefing to Congress, in which he indicated that the attack was spurred by protests in Cairo against an anti-Islamic video, was both based on intelligence available at the time and later disproved. Starr cautioned CNN host Wolf Blitzer that the issue was still very complex and that while the perpetrators have possibly been identified, "a combination of many factors" may be involved in the motivation behind the attack.

The pearl serves as an exquisite metaphor for life. A sea-borne irritant burrows its way into a living sea creature, and after many months or years of internal struggle, and only on rare occasions when circumstances are just right, does a beautiful, lustrous, natural creation emerge.
Prior to the 20th century, before the invention of cultured pearls, natural pearls were so rare that only the rich and noble elite could acquire them. No one is certain when pearls were first discovered; perhaps it was an ancient tribe along the shores of the pacific that discovered them while opening oysters for food.
Ancient literature abounds with references to pearls. Roman legend relates a story involving Antony and Cleopatra and a pair of pearl earrings. Night after night, Antony would stage extravagant meals to which the lovely Cleopatra would simply scoff. One night she wagered Antony that she could prepare the most expensive dinner in history. At the meal, Cleopatra appeared bejeweled in a pair of magnificent pearl earrings worth sixty million sesterci (1,875,000 ounces of fine silver or almost $10 million at today's prices of around $5 an ounce). At the conclusion of the meal, to remove all doubt as to its considerable expense, Cleopatra removed one pearl earring, dissolved it in a glass of vinegar, and ingested the mixture. As she proceeded to do the same with the other pearl, the judge of the wager grabbed it from her hand and promptly declared Antony the loser.
To the Ancient Persians, pearls symbolized the moon and its magical powers. The ancient Egyptians prized pearls so highly that they were buried with them. Several stories are found in the Hebrew Bible and in Hindu and Muslim mystical writings.
Once the exclusive property of nobility, today, with the advent of pearl cultivation, pearls are affordable and available to all.

Mergers & Acquisitions
CCEA decision on Akpo proposal disappointing: Raha
Our Bureau
Kolkata , Dec 16
THE Chairman of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC), Mr Subir Raha, today expressed disappointment at Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs' (CCEA) disapproval of ONGC's proposal for acquiring 45 per cent stake in South Atlantic Petroleum's Akpo oil and gas field in Nigeria.
He, however, said that oil business being closely guided by geo-political issues, such developments are common in the global oil industry.
"We may feel disappointed but definitely not frustrated. We have taken it in our stride as a plausible development," Mr Raha told Business Line admitting that ONGC had prepared well the ground for the proposed acquisition.
The ONGC Chairman was in city on a joint visit with the Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister, Mr Mani Shankar Aiyar, to the exploratory rig at Bengal off-shore.
Later, talking to newspersons at the State Secretariat, Mr Raha admitted that technical snags had been delaying exploratory drilling at Bengal off-shore. "Hopefully, the technical snags are over and if everything goes well, we will be able to assess the presence of hydrocarbons in the basin in the next few weeks," he said.
Mr Raha said that ONGC would be holding a three-day international seminar in the city beginning January 9, on geological and geo-physical issues related to oil exploration.
"Three leading bodies in the oil sector will participate in the conference. Overall, we expect participation of over 1,000 foreign delegates," he said.

Overall Experience
Great Staff
25. August 2014
We stayed there for a wedding and extended our stay for an extra day. The staff (AMY) was a wonderful person to work with. She helped with all of our crazy needs. The Valet parking was wonderful too. If we are ever out that way again we will be staying here.
Our Excellent Experience
25. August 2014
We found the staff at the hotel to be extremely accomodating and professional, particularly the front desk and the breakfast room. The complimentary breakfasts were delicious! I specifically would like to mention the waiter who served us in the Splash restaurant/bar, who's name was Richard. He was especially kind to us. We are Air Canada employees, and we will certainly recommend your hotel to fellow employees.
Thanks and regards,

It was adequate. I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here, nor would I avoid it. I recommend that you check your bill before leaving. For me, my parking rate was incorrect but they corrected it on the spot. A co-worker was there too and hers was incorrect as well and she did not check her bill prior to leaving.
I was given a bad view of the roof. Now I wouldn't normally complain but I was told I had a view at check in; I just wasn't told it was of the big flat roof in the center of the building LOL
It kind of left a bad taste in my mouth from the get go. Overall it was an avg stay, nothing bad, nothing great. Yes I would stay here again if the price were right
Great Hotel Overall

Will Italy Accept Renzi's Reforms?
Milton Ezrati, The National Interest
The Associated Press
Renzi's rhetoric certainly sounds encouraging to pro-reform elements in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. He has hit on well-known elements advanced by Monti, recommended by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and successfully implemented in Germany a decade ago. His program would: (1) improve the competitiveness of Italian business and encourage hiring as well as business expansion by cutting payroll and business taxes, the so-called tax wedge between the cost to business of an employee and a workers' take-home pay; (2) cut wasteful public spending and rationalize work incentives by consolidating welfare and unemployment benefits; (3) encourage business to hire more freely by easing stringent hiring and...
