Pulled up on the ears of the plastic cap (at the bottom of what's left after removing the liquid receptacle) to expose the nut. Turned nut counter-clockwise with socket set while preventing lower half of agitator from turning.3.Once nut was totally unscrewed pulled up entire agitator- works out of washing machine, then placed agitator on floor, placed my feet on lower part of agitator while pulling up on upper half of agitator and the 2 sections separated, as well as the small parts of agitator.4. I remounted the upper half of the agitator to the lower half outside of the washing machine, but it could probably also be done by first installing the lower half of the agitator into the machine and then mounting the upper half onto the lower half.5. I re-screwed the bolt clock-wise with one hand while preventing the lower half of the agitator from turning.

Heineken Light Celebrates Consumers' 'Occasionally Perfect' Experiences in New Campaign
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., July 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Heineken USA premiered new television advertising for the Heineken Light brand today, kicking-off a holistic summer marketing effort and debuting a new campaign under the "Be a Man of the World" platform. The film can also be viewed on Heineken's YouTube Channel and Facebook Page beginning today.
Rather than settling for constantly mediocre instances and routines, the campaign celebrates consumers and their "occasionally perfect" experiences. While every occasion is not right for Heineken Light, the beer is a perfect fit for those situations that call for something a little more unique, special and upscale.
The integrated campaign, created by Wieden+Kennedy New York, was developed in alignment with the award winning, global Heineken Lager "Legends" ad series ("The Entrance" and "The Date") created by the agency's Amsterdam office.
"Our consumers formed an immediate and deep connection with the 'Man of the World' figures featured in the Heineken Lager films 'The Entrance' and 'The Date'," said Lesya Lysyj, Chief Marketing Officer, Heineken USA. "We worked closely with Wieden+Kennedy New York to ensure the Heineken Light ads inspired similar feelings of confidence and progressiveness while developing the creative to resonate with our uniquely American audience."
The first spot in the series, "Snakeskin Jacket," follows our Man of the World character as he encounters everyday situations where his fabulous snakeskin jacket may not be the most appropriate and goes completely unappreciated, such as playing golf or sitting at a boardroom meeting. Our hero's confidence and social prowess shines through, however, when he finds himself among a unique and eclectic crowd at a secret offshore charity snake-fighting event. Our character celebrates the moment with a Heineken Light, because this unique occasion is perfect for this particular beer.
"'Occasionally perfect' is a bold statement to make. It says Heineken Light is special, but in a really unique way," said Ian Reichenthal, Co-Executive Creative Director, Wieden +Kennedy New York.
The first film in the series, "Snakeskin Jacket" will debut on national TV July 1, and will be supported by an additional spot, "Moustache", in July. There are also plans to launch interactive consumer experiences to build equity and excitement in the marketing campaign, including the most aggressive trial program since the brand's launch; have one million people try Heineken Light this year.

7 Tips for a Social Entrepreneur
Go the Extra Mile
Adam Lowry, co-founder of home and personal care products manufacturer Method, has pushed his company to find new ways to be eco-friendly since it became the first benefit corporation in 2007. The company's green products are sold in recyclable plastic packaging. Similarly, Norwood Marble & Granite, a Brentwood, Md. stone and tile fabrication and installation company, recycled only a small percentage of the millions of gallons of water it used when the company was starting out. After failing its first attempt to become a benefit corporation, the company made some changes, and now recycles 98 percent of its water waste.

Publishers Weekly06/30/2014
Shaara's third volume of four focusing on the "'Western' theater of the Civil War," after 2013's A Chain of Thunder, is a top-notch war novel. As in his previous books, whether about the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, or the two World Wars, he manages to make the minutiae of troop deployments and battlefield tactics absorbing even for the non-buff. This series is especially appealing for its look at an obscure yet crucial juncture: the 1863 "campaign around Chattanooga," which here is portrayed as a bellwether of the Confederacy's ability to prevail in the wider conflict. Along well-known figures such as Grant and Sherman are involved, Shaara primarily enables the reader to experience the hell of war through the lower ranks, such as sniper Fritz Bauer. As with the best historical war novels, knowing the ultimate outcome of the bitter fighting is not a bar to engagement. (June)

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho admits he's seeking more from Gonzalo Higuain.
The Argentine struck in victory over Celta Vigo yesterday.
Mourinho said: "He knows that with me, and in spite of the fact that forwards live for the goals, there are other aspects that are important. It's really complicated for a player to come off the bench and get into the dynamics of the game. They all have to go through intense defensive and offensive transitions and I took him off the bench at Camp Nou to stimulate him.
"He has to take that in stride, and when HiguaĂn's on the field, the goal will come. I'm relaxed about him and about Benzema."

This video features pianist/singer/songwriter Terry Prince discussing how he sold 15,000 CDs in a year and a half. Here's a hint: he regularly performs for large amounts of people. Yet he spends just 30 hours per month doing this.
True, if you want to sell recordings, you should have a strong website, wide distribution, and a marketing plan. But more than anything, perhaps the secret is to interface with A LOT of listeners on a regular basis. And this rings true no matter what style of music you perform. Be present, and reap the rewards.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
We just had our wedding and our reception and the festhalle barn and we loved it! You get a lot for what you pay for. You get the barn literally for five days so plenty of time for set up and clean up. There is awesome scenery around the barn for pictures. The communication with Dennis was great! Only knock on this place is no AC so as you know in Iowa and if you have a July wedding you will pay. There is quite a few fans but it still was scorching. If they ever install AC in the barn it'll be a blessing!! I have NO complaints and everyone loved the location. Just an FYI the competition to rent the barn is very early in advance as in a year and half for us. Get on it while you can!
We had our reception at the Festhalle and it was absolutely wonderful! It is so much more than a typical reception venue. We had a gorgeous day fall day and were able to open the main entrance sliding doors when guests arrived and then used the smaller walk-in doors at the end of the night. Most of the Christmas lights are already strung across the beams and Dennis even came before the wedding to fix a strand and lightbulb that were burnt out. The sky is the limit in making this place yours as you get the keys on the Wednesday before your event and get to keep them until the Monday after. Since we rented it at the end of the season we were also given the option to have the interior cardboard put up to help insulate the building but we chose not to.
We had no issues with reserving the barn or with the keys. The visitor's center (across the parking lot) was also so kind in relaying the keys back to Dennis and letting our cake lady into the barn while we were all at the wedding.
The only downside we felt was that you need to have a crew ready to clean- a group of us spent an entire day sweeping, mopping, wiping down tables and chairs, and knocking down cobwebs.
Here's the most honest review I can give:
The barn itself? GORGEOUS. The association lets you decorate however you want, and it's inexpensive ($700)
Organization? Horrendous. Please be warned - - their coordinator Michelle (must be new to this whole thing) does not know what she is doing. Incredibly hard to get a hold of since she works several jobs. She DOUBLE BOOKED my wedding day and didn't tell me until it was too late to switch my vendors. I got the boot b/c she failed to tell me that another couple already had my date. I did get my money back, but I was totally heartbroken. They didn't even say they were sorry. PLEASE BE WARNED. You'll have to be on their a$$ from the second you want to turn in the contracts :(
The festhalle was a great place to have a wedding! We received the barn the Wednesday before the wedding and it was ours until the Monday after. So it gives you lots of time to decorate yourself and have other vendors come and go as needed.
It is very clean and has ample fridges and freezers for your cake, drinks, and other things! There is a huge stage that can be used for a live band or DJ or possibly your head table.
Large enough to feel comfortable with having a wedding reception there. Beautiful rustic look inside with lights already stringed along the beams. Fans. And main lights that you can shut off separately.
I would say the only downfall to the barn is the obvious "no air" and no running water inside - but there is some outside. Other than that it was the perfect place for our wedding!
We had our wedding reception at the Festhalle Barn and it was wonderful! The price is inexpensive and you get to decorate how you like.... this can add up too, but you can make it exactly how you want it! Something that is out of your control is the weather which makes it kind of hard if you plan your date in the middle of the summer due to the heat. Just pray for good weather!
We had our reception in the Barn, and it was very nice. They provided some tables and some chairs but we decided to rent a little higher quality tables and chairs. We were given the key on the Wednesday before the wedding and we weren't required to give the key back until the Monday after the wedding. All for just $550!!

Okay, it is true. This:
1. Does not cover THAT completely.
2. Is not that cheap if you live in Australia (this cost me $25 Australian + shipping)
3. Can cake around eyes if you don't use primer (use primer trust me) and if you don't blend.
4. Has an ashy undertone for Asian skin (NC 25-30 and I use Beige)
BUT has super fantasic consistency, blends well, covers well, has SPF and is a lot cheaper than loads of luxury brands out there.
I have only used this for 2 weeks and ordered another 3 off ebay as backup!! I adore this product. Thank you to all the recommendations out there

Everytime I find a concealer that I like and works well, it fails me.
I hope this one doesn't because I love everything about it. It really goes on smoothly, does not get cakey and a little goes a long way.
I love that it's in a tube because the last one I tried was a wand-type applicator, which was goopy and the one before that was in a pan, not too sanitary.
I use a lot of Exuviance products, they're all great and this is another one to add to my list of favorites.

Coverblend concealer is my HG concealer! It covers amazingly without looking cakey. I have dark spots from previous break outs, but it covers them flawlessly. The conceal blends into your skin while covering blemishes or spots you don't want shown. And a little goes a long way! Highly recommended!

My sister has been using this concealer for years and has been able to achieve a flawless look with it so recently I decided to buy it also. It does a great job covering my old acne scars and other flaws but I have to admit that it is a bit thick and can look cakey. Its a good idea to moisturize well before using this. Overall, I really like this concealer.

This concealer goes on thick, so you have to be careful not to use too much. Although I moisturize the area around my eyes before applying concealer, I've found that this concealer is too dry and cakey for the eye area. Also, even though it's thick, it doesn't really cover under eye circles very well. I would recommend it, however, for other areas of the face where you have discoloration or spots - just be sure to get the correct shade. I use this concealer almost every day, and I have yet to use up an entire tube - it lasts forever!

I have tried many, many concealers and have previously reviewed Mary Kay which is quite good. THIS concealer, however, is more opaque and covers much better. It's hard to find but it is excellent. Moisturize first and then apply very little because it goes a long way. This stuff is GOOOOOOD!!

This is a bit of an odd concealer and takes some getting used to. the trick is to apply it in LAYERS. Just like mascara, let one coat dry before applying the others. One thin coat at a time. And another word of advice DO NOT USE UNDER EYES! This will crease like no tomorrow. I don't think I would ever purchase this again because 1.) its hard to find, 2.) Expensive 3.) Hard to match same shade. 4.) Cakes up if not used correctly and will defiantly crease if used under your eyes. Also the packaging is kind of of looks like it should be hemorrhoid cream or something and is not appealing as a face cosmetic. Do not use if you have dry skin or have any raised bumps you want to cover.

Ok.. why is it every time i try an item that has great reviews, i end up hating it!!!!!!!!!!!!! this concealer SUCKED BIG TIME!!! ( i used it on a few blemished and the redness around my nose) When its first applied it doesnt look bad..but an hr later.. GROSSSS!! very dry and cakey , and shows every line and pore!!! and it also dried to a nasty grayish color....!! I think from now on, im going to try the products with the WORST reviews because ill probably have better luck with that and actually like it!!!!!!!!!! WORSE CONCEALER

I love this concealer! Its perfect for my dark circles. I've tried many many many concealers, and most of them will either look too light or too dark, but the beige matches my skin perfectly. I only use one drop to cover the dark circles for both of my eyes, and then some! It lasts me a very long time. I work at PureBeauty Store and Salon, and we had a Exuviance spokes person, and he told us that this concealer is sweat proof. And so far, so good. It lasts me the whole day. It even looks good in pictures. I looked like a inverted raccoon (with white circles around my eyes), but this blended with my skin and looks flawless. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!

Re: how long does it take you leave?
Honestly, I stopped trying to get underway as fast as possible when I realized I was neglecting things, like checking the oil, taking the extra line off the jib, etc. So now I take my sweet ass time and try to make sure I did everything on the list. By myself I'm sure it takes about 30 minutes, but I normally have 10 mooring lines, an extra line on the jib, the mainsail cover, four sailties, engine oil check, seacocks open, get out tiller pilot, blower for 5 minutes, check bilge, engine start, check water flow and warm up, turn on vhf and tiller pilot, get out of the slip, round corner and hoist main, take in fenders, turn corner and pull out jib, set course for 5 degrees, take engine out of gear, and now I'm sailing and the first thing I do is gulp down about a pint of water.
But when I have someone along, its all the above plus however long I have to wait from them to arrive at the pier, walk the longest possible distance on my pier, open the gate for them, back to the boat, safety brief, fitting of life jackets, explain toilet now we are ready to get out of the slip and do the rest of the stuff.
Who sail sailing was fun? Its fun work!

C O K ER . ED U development development Well, it's commentary time again and i am ready to report my visits since february. it certainly has been a busy time at coker with our centennial celebration that began in January. My first trip, the first day of february was to visit with shep porter Wallace '56 in fayetteville, n.c. shep has taken a leadership role in establishing the class of '56 endowed scholarship. i visited with her about joining several other coker grads who will be featured in our next Planned giving brochure. as i expected, she was more than willing to do so. in february i traveled to Dobson, n.c. where i met buddy Norwood. Buddy is the husband of Jane parler Norwood `65. Jane is on our Board of trustees. Buddy works with the shelton family in charlotte and they own shelton vineyards located in Dobson. Buddy and Jane and the shelton vineyards were gracious enough to sponsor coker's centennial wine and we have a red and a white wine with coker labels on them to celebrate coker's centennial. it was first introduced at alumni Day. We are appreciative of Buddy's leadership in helping to do this. i think it lends a festive element to our centennial celebration. for one of the events for the centennial, we were privileged enough to have the movie "Pearl fryar" shown on campus. as most of you know, Pearl is an artist-inresidence here at the college and is a well known topiary artist from Bishopville, s.c. faye Gurley Reynolds, barbara Dibble Dixon and bonnie Cone sawyer, all members of the Class of 1959, met me the next morning for breakfast at carolina lunch, a hartsville landmark that only serves breakfast. We had a good visit and a lot of fun. they are so supportive of coker and it was a pleasure to be with them. if you read the commentary, you have seen i have been doing a lot of traveling working with planned gifts and visiting with coker graduates about making coker a beneficiary of their estates through a bequest, charitable trust or charitable gift annuity. one of the most enjoyable visits i have had this year was with Joanne O'bryan `58, and her husband, Cecil, in augusta, ga. she and cecil established a charitable gift annuity at the college. When the annuity fund comes to the college, it will establish the Joanne Mcfaddin o'Bryan endowed scholarship. it was a pleasure for me to get to know the o'Bryans. i think both Joanne and cecil were impressed with the college when they were here for Joanne's 50 th class reunion on alumni Day. in March, i spent some time in charleston and had ROAD with Frank >> fRANK bUsh - executive vP for institutional advancement ON ThE Vis its with Coker Alumni and Friend s a delightful visit with past trustee and leadership donor, Esther baskin ferguson. it had been some time since i had seen her and her husband, Jim. We had an enjoyable visit and lunch in charleston Place. esther has been very supportive of coker college over the years. as a hartsville native, one of her legacies at the college is the nan richardson rickenbaker Baskin endowed Minority scholarship. named for her late mother, the scholarship benefits minority students. the next morning i saw Martha Langford Derrick `56 for breakfast. as you know, Martha has been a supporter of coker college for many years. she and her husband, fletcher, spend a lot of time traveling. Most of you who live in the charleston area are fortunate enough to read her articles about her travels which appear occasionally in the newspaper. Martha is a real inspiration to those who know her because she has had a lot of back problems yet she continues to go at a fast pace. i had dinner the next night with Ann boatwright igoe `57. instead of going out to eat, ann prepared a delightful meal at her beautiful home on new street and we had a wonderful visit. she is so much fun. ann is the sister of Peggy Boatwright Peck `65 and the niece of elizabeth Boatwright coker. ann has been very supportive of her alma mater. also, i was privileged to have lunch with one of my favorite people in the entire world, penelope Coker hall who has a home in charleston. her permanent residence is in Millbrook, ny. Penelope is the daughter of elizabeth Boatwright coker and the great-granddaughter of Major James lide coker. Penelope is a great friend of coker college. toward the end of March, it was a privilege for me to meet someone i did not know well and that is Tom O'Neal from Blenheim. tom is the widower of Chaty hayes O'Neal `46. tom and i have been discussing his establishing a scholarship in chaty's name. he is a remarkable man � a farmer over in Blenheim and it has been such a privilege for me to get to know him. chaty was a very popular and loved member of the class of `46. april was a very busy month for us here at coker. We had so much going on that i did not do a lot of traveling. i did go to lake city to visit one of our young coker graduates, scott Askins `88. i am so proud of him. his cement business is growing by leaps and bounds and he is a great guy. scott has been very supportive of coker college. in april we had a memorial service for susanne Gay Linville, granddaughter of Major James lide coker. During my 30 years at coker, one of the greatest privileges i have had was getting to know and love susanne. no one other than Major James lide coker had a more positive and lasting impact on coker college. she and her husband, ed, gave generous leadership support to the college for over 50 years. it was a privilege for the college to host the memorial service for susanne at Drengaelen house and to have her two wonderful sons, Jack and Jim, and their wives, anne and vick, and their sons, at the college for the service. Jack served as chairman of the Board of trustees and Jim currently serves on the Board. Both men spoke and reminded all of us of susanne's positive influence on mankind and many charities, of which coker was her favorite. i continue to meet with whom i consider a good friend of coker college, Robert bell, a retired attorney from augusta, ga. it has been a pleasure getting to know Mr. Bell. What a true southern gentleman he is. robert was married to Cecelia Coker bell '65 following her graduation from coker until her untimely death in December 1965. robert will generously fund an endowed scholarship in art at the college in cecelia's name by establishing a charitable gift annuity. i hope over the next years others of you will consider establishing a charitable gift annuity as robert has done. it is a wonderful way to retain life income and yet, at the same time, make a positive impact on the college by honoring someone important to you. Please read a related article in this issue of the commentary about annuities for coker (page 11). i am glad i was in town on sunday, May 18, to have the opportunity to go to Darlington to the memorial service for sue James Clarkson `34. sue established a scholarship a few years ago and she and her family agreed before her death that memorials would go to coker. We appreciate the family thinking of the college because it was very important to sue. it was a beautiful service and many friends from the Pee Dee attended. toward the middle of the month, i went to raleigh and was able to be at quail ridge Books and Music for Mary Coker Joslin's book signing for "growing up in the Brown house," which we all know as Miss May's house, now college's administration Building since 1976. for those of you who have not heard about it or read it, there is an article about Mary's book of her remembrances of growing up here on the coker campus and stories of her mother and father in hartsville during the `20s and `30s. i urge all of you to get a copy of the book. Mary has asked that the proceeds from the sale of her book go to the college. i enjoyed being with Mary and her family at the book signing and hearing her remarks concerning the book. the morning after the book signing in raleigh, i had breakfast with her son, James Joslin, who has served on the Board. he and his wife, beth, have been so supportive of coker college over the years. it was good to catch up with James. i could not go to raleigh without stopping to see one of my favorite coker graduates, Ruth Ludlam McClam `46 and her husband, Marvin. We had a great visit and an enjoyable lunch. as you know, ruth has set up an endowed scholarship here. it was good to catch up and visit with ruth again. also, while i was in raleigh, i visited a coker graduate whom i had never met before, Anne howell seavy `52, and her husband, fred. they are truly wonderful people, new friends for me and life-long supporters of coker college. We had a delightful visit and lunch at the cheesecake factory in raleigh. anne remembers fondly some of her classmates who have been friends of the college for many years and we got to catch up about some of them. My last trip of this quarter was a trip to fayetteville, n.c., to have lunch with coker graduates, Adrienne Olivier Johnson `01, and Kristan Johnson `02, and their 19-month old daughter, Alicia Nicole, who is a precious child. it was wonderful to be with this young couple and to hear them talk about their love for coker college. she majored in dance and he majored in history. kris is a Warrant officer one in the Marine corps and has been deployed three times: twice to iraq and once to afghanistan. next year, he will be deployed again for another tour of duty in afghanistan. our thoughts and prayers are with him. i was so touched as he talked about coker and how much the college means to him and that he is in the process of naming coker as a beneficiary in his will.

The book is a compelling personal history and an engaging look at life in a Southern town through the 1920s and 1930s. Joslin is the second-youngest child of David r. and May roper coker and the granddaughter of Major James lide coker, founder of the college. the Brown house, built adjacent to the college's campus in 1916, is known to generations of coker students as "Miss May's." it became the college's administration Building in 1976. Joslin's parents were among their generation's leading citizens, connected to state and national leadership, and deeply concerned with the issues of the time. as a result, the Brown house was a lively home filled with ideas, learning and a constant stream of visitors, including coker college professors, students and guest speakers. Most of Joslin's recollections in "growing up in the Brown house" are fond memories laced with local history. she takes a more serious tone, however, when recalling the social issues of the era. Joslin has been supportive of coker college throughout her life and "growing up in the Brown house" is her gift to the college in honor of its centennial. the book is a limited edition, and proceeds from its sale benefit the annual scholarship fund. "growing up in the Brown house" is available from the alumni office by calling 1.800.65.coker. the cost is $25, including shipping and handling. � cok er col l ege cen t en n i a l hist or y � In Quest of Excellence: A History of Coker College on its Centennial by Dr. Malcolm C.

Saturday hoops roundup: MV stays perfect, Morris sets NP record
February 2, 2013By Andrew Smith of Hancock County Sports
Boys basketball
Mt. Vernon 46, Noblesville 41 (archived webcast): The top-ranked team in Class 3A used another big third quarter to seize the lead and its 15th consecutive victory.
MV is now 15-0 on the season heading into Thursday's game against Muncie Burris.
MV trailed 23-20 after a 3-pointer by Tyler Scott late in the first half, but Dan Werner's three-point play tied the game, and MV eventually pushed itself to an eight-point lead. The Marauders, who have had strong third quarters in many of their victories, did so again by outscoring the Millers 15-8 in the penultimate period. It allowed the Marauders to take a 35-31 edge.
C.J. Coleman had 16 of his 22 points in the first half. He hit eight shots, a 3-pointer and was 5-of-7 from the line. Werner scored all of his 12 in the second half, including a perfect 7-of-7 from the line. Zach Spears had two fourth-quarter baskets for seven points.
Coleman and Werner shared our McCordsville Family Dentistry Player of the Game honors.
MV won despite Stephen Turner -- who scored a career-high 37 last time out -- being held to three points.
Sam Philpott led Noblesville with 15 points, while Scott had 12.
Noblesville fell to 11-5 on the season.
New Palestine 78, Mooresville 50 (archived webcast): The Dragons put on a 3-point shooting clinic and equaled their biggest victory of the season.
Michael Morris scored 32 points -- giving him 63 for the weekend and 92 for the last three games.
His eight triples tied a school record, and eclipsed Ryan Curry's season high of seven set in the Franklin Central game on Dec. 15.
Morris was 12-of-13 from the floor, 8-of-9 from 3-point range and added five rebounds and two assists.
Curry had a big night of his own, hitting five 3s for 15 points. Solomon Haynes (2) and Keegan Lytle (1) hit the other 3-pointers for the Dragons.
Brandon Jonas added eight points and four assists. Solomon Haynes had six points and five assists. Connor Roach led NP with seven rebounds and two blocks. Morris added six boards and Seth Cox five.
Brandon Jonas had eight points for NP, scoring six in a third-quarter spurt that allowed NP to pull away from a 10-point halftime lead. NP led 59-38 after three, outscoring the Pioneers 17-6 in the period and punctuating it with a Morris 3 for his 29th point.
NP hit 30-of-43 from the floor -- a 70 percent clip -- and was 73 percent (16-of-22) from 3-point range.
J.T. Hurt led two Pioneers in double figures with 17 points. Lane Weaver had 11 points.
NP (13-4) next plays Thursday at home against Franklin. Mooresville fell to 4-10 on the season.
Greenwood 60, Greenfield-Central 46: One night after falling in double OT, the Cougars dropped a home game to Greenwood by a 60-46 score.
G-C fell behind 17-7 after a quarter and 29-16 at the half, but Greenwood used a 22-7 third quarter to go up 51-23 after three and break the game open.
Derek Conley had 21 points for the Cougars. Tate Hall had nine and Zach Batton six.
G-C is now 2-14 on the season. The Cougars visit Knightstown Thursday.

No, I don't really like slings... they are more difficult to work with than properly installed lifting eyes IMHO. Also, if the straps of the sling aren't positioned properly, the dinghy can slip out while being moved... and that's going to cause some damage to whatever it lands on. With lifting eyes, you just don't have to worry about position... either you've clipped into the lifting eye or you haven't. Much simpler and safer IMHO.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
