Wetpixel: Bahamas Sharks & Dolphins trip report. July 2008
Posted 27 July 2008 - 11:08 AM
OK, so the title turned out to be something of a misnomer - as Jim corrects me it also included Palm Beach muck diving (Lembeh is now know as poor-mans Blue Heron Bridge), Gulf Stream night pelagic drift, super macro plankton photography, nocturnal critter hunt on Sugar Wreck, fishing for birds as well as more sharks and dolphins than you could shake a stick at. Or in other words, just another amazing Wetpixel/JASA trip.
The aim of this thread is to provide a place for those on the trip to add their thoughts and those of you who weren't to find out what it was like - if you are thinking of coming on a trip like this why not ask the guys who were just on one. I'll start a few more threads in the "Photo Gallery & Showcase" section on specific subjects from the trip. Hopefully you will see some topside images etc here.
Here is the gang:

Hi Guys,
I might be about as dumb as a "boxa rocks", but how in hell do you get off the back of the boat with all them bloody sharks in the way...
Happy landings...

At Tiger Beach when there's bait in the water, Jim's rules are all about looking around before getting in the water mostly looking for Tigers, getting in the water without splashing, and not spending any time on the surface, dropping to the 15' bottom ASAP.

As my computer is broken and I am off to Italy tomorrow morning, I am afraid that the trip diary is a little drier than intended. Hopefully some of the gang on board will chip in with some more florid prose and humorous insights. This is also my tale of events - so I hope the rest of the gang will add their view points.
I arrived in the States the day before the trip, flying into Miami on the same flight as two others John and Robin. We shared a taxi up to Fort Lauderdale to visit Reef Photo & Video and purchase a few essentials. The current Pound to Dollar exchange rate makes stopping off here a must. Ryan was away, but we caught up on gossip with Richard and the rest of the gang, before heading to Shooters for a slice of Americana cuisine to revive our jet lagged bodies, before heading up to the Super 8 in North Palm Beach.
DAY 1 Boarding the Shear Water and bonus dives at BHB
We were due to board the Shear Water in the late afternoon for a pm departure, but we still got up early and met up with Paul and Pedro and headed down to JASA to procure some tanks and weights for a dip at Blue Heron Bridge. On our arrival we bumped into Mr Abernethy, himself, and Jim told us to stick our stuff straight on the Shear Water hed take us over to dive the bridge from the boat. Much easier than shore diving!
With macro lenses attached we were soon in the water for a bonus dive. It is always worth turning up early for JASA trips to take in a dive or two at the bridge. Carol Grant had sent me a detailed email a couple of days earlier giving me pointers on where creatures were and within minutes I was finding striated frogfish, yellow garden eels, long-arm octopus and seahorses. I enjoyed the fact that first creature I pointed out to Robin on the trip was a sea robin. Little things amuse little minds.
But better was yet to come. Our dive coincided with mating time and I was very excited to get shots of mating long-arm octopus and mating seahorses on the same dive. I pointed out both to everyone I could find, so most people got the shots. Jimmys hand signals for mating left little to the imagination, but as a marine biologist I was swift to explain after the dive that seahorses and octopuses dont really do it like that!
In the afternoon we met up with the rest of the group, who were on later flights. Bess, Chris and Mark (who had been out on afternoon dives on JASAs day boat). Mark is always one to squeeze every last diving and photography opportunity out of each day. Quite right too.
Before we departed, I discovered that unbelievable I had managed to forget to bring any SD cards, despite having two cameras that take them (Nikon D80, Fuji F50). Luckily Chris still had a hire car and was kind enough to ferry me to Best Buy (what a cool store) to buy one. The trip gave me a chance to hear about Chriss on screen role in the latest Batman movie!
As our morning dive at BHB had been so good, we decided to do it all again in the evening. Filled with pizzas Jim gave us permission to dive as long as we wanted from sunset to mid-night. I got through most of two tanks of air, which is pretty impressive in less than 5m of water!
I even took my Fuji F50 compact in which produced some excellent results using just the internal flash. Here is a hairy taken with it (uncropped and adjusted):
5 hours in the water and we hadn't even left Palm Beach yet. The trip was off to an amazing start. After the dives we set sail.

Most of us emerged from slumber as we were steaming towards West End on Grand Bahama to clear customs. West End was also our last chance to check email and get phone reception for a while.
Then we were free and we set sail for reef sharks. Well once we had been through Jims briefing, which is anything but brief as Jim goes through each of the sharks we are likely to dive with, explaining how we can expect them to behave and how we can get the longest, closest and safest encounters with these beautiful creatures.
Most of the group had not dived with big sharks before so we thought reefies would be a good warm up. That said I often find the reefies more un-nerving than the bigger sharks because of their speed and pack behaviour.
We started off shooting them on the reef, working the classic JASA fisheye shot of wide angle scenes (sponges, corals) with shark on a dive site know as Cover Shot, for obvious reasons. Jimmy and I did a bit of coercing underwater to get people into the right places for the shot. I also encouraged people to try some longer lenses they had brought wide angle and mid-range zooms to grab some portraits as they got used to watching the sharks behaviour and noting the current direction and the bait trail without getting really up close. These lenses are excellent for tight, clean portraits of these elegantly proportioned sharks. I have to say I am a sucker for the little Caribbean Reef Sharks ones that look so cute.
After several dives on the reef, we decided to end the day up diving near the surface shooting the reef sharks against the evening sunlight. Fast shutter speeds help freeze the rays (and the sharks) and lead to some very different and very beautiful images of the perezi.
Finally, as the light faded into a sunset we finish off with some topsides, shooting the Caribbean Reef Sharks at the surface, with the sunset behind. Do bring an external flash (land) for these shots as built-in flashes rarely have the welly to keep up with the action.
Here is one of my shots from the session:
A great end to a highly productive day.
Ah, and here is a particularly unflattering one of me, trying to sneak by with my camera spares box - that still carries Kodachrome logos.
"What's film?" cried the wags. For once I had a witty and accurate come back. "Its an imaging technology somewhere between cave painting and digital".

With Caribbean Reef Sharks in the bag it was time to head to the sheltered, shallow waters of Tiger Beach for Lemons and hopefully some Tigers. We started off at a deeper site known at The Chain and soon had plenty of lemons drawn in to the scent. Calm conditions and great viz meant we could shoot to our heart's content. As Jim puts it, "before a tiger turns up get all the lemon shots you could ever want, because once the tiger is around I want you concentrating entirely on her".
So lemons it was. Actually the chain is home to loads of lionfish, the celebrated invaders from the Indo-Pacific via the aquarium trade. I enjoyed shooting them too, although I was hoping for a tiger to show up so I could make the "Lion and Tiger" image. Again, little things…
Sadly no tigers showed on that first day, but since only Robin and I had seen lemons before (this was Robin's 4th Shear Water trip) everyone was very happy. Tiger have been less frequent at the ' Beach since a trophy hunting fisherman hauled one out and killed it at the start of the year. Since then the most super of Tiger Beach's supermodel tigers (the ones that hang around and move calmly between the divers) Emma has been missing. She has never been missing from Tiger Beach for so long before even when she has twice left to give birth. The caught tiger had unborn pups inside her. Everyone has feared the worst.
On a lighter note, much fun was had at staff member Mike for photographing sharks with such as tiny camera. After snapping this photo I resorted to a mis-quote from Jaws. "Mike, you're gonna need a bigger camera".
And, while were are talking about cameras. Here is Jim ready for another dive. Anyone who has dived with him will know his approach to underwater photography For those that don't you must see the next issue of Wetpixel Quarterly out later in the year. There is a lovely quote in there from Eric that hits the nail squarely on the head. I won't ruin the surprise. Anyway I call this photo, "You can shoot twice as many shots with two cameras".
To make a more serious point with this photo, there is some excellent macro at the Chain on Tiger Beach. Oh and I had a lemon shark bite through my synch cord in a snip.
I think that this was also the first day that Pedro got his ingenious remote release out. Very cleverly he has wired it through some of the spare wires on his non-TTL S6 bulkhead on his Seacam housing. I hope he'll elaborate.

Day 4 started like any other. Mark getting up early wanting to get in and get shooting ASAP. Little did we know what, or rather who was waiting for us at the back of the boat. The first clue came when John (Skey, not Wallis) said there was a big tiger behind the boat and she has a white mark in front of her tail. We dared not dream
But then we took the plunge and our wishes became a reality. Emma was back. It was really her. Jimmys eyes danced with joy behind his face mask. For most of the group it was there first tiger shark dive and Emma is a big girl. They wore their eyes on the outside of their masks.
The viz was crystal, the surface calm and the sun was out. It was a magical couple of hours. Emma demolished four crates and as the viz faded by lunch she departed. Everyone had shots, everyone had smiles. But the biggest smile of all, if you dont count Emmas toothy grin, was Jims. He proclaimed it his best dive of the year, seeing Emma again after spending the last six months thinking she was gone.
I have started a gallery thread for anyone who has photographed Emma down the years to contribute to:
For the afternoon we steamed across to the Sugar Wreck and were treated to reef sharks, lemons and a pair of nurse sharks dancing in afternoon light amongst the wreckage and the schooling fish. These dives were a great chance to shoot fish schools, fish portraits and I even played around with double exposure sharks and the so called British technique of front curtain long exposure sharks.
Most of the gang (I sat that one out) went in for an excellent night dive on the wreck and were rewarded with crustaceans, orange-ball coralimorphs and reef squid. What a day.
Here is Jim giving Emma a friendly stroke. Even at low res you can see he looks rather happy with the world.

Another glorious day and flat calm seas. July really is a fantastic month for conditions in the Bahamas. The water is up at 28˚C (83/84F?). The day starts with another tiger roaming around the stern of the boat as we tuck into our breakfast. Although she doesnt stay long, by the time we venture out to dive shes gone. But as luck would have it a large familiar shadow is in her place. Yes, Emma is back.
Many of us switch lenses. If we were on wide rectilinear yesterday we go for fisheye today, and vice versa. A range of wide lenses does help to broaden your portfolio from these trips. Once again Emma is calm and cooperative. Another smaller tiger joins the action too. This one has a could of large hooks wedged in the corner of its mouth, one trailing about 8 feet of mono-filament. Its another reminder of the fragile line that these magnificent creatures tread between swimming free in the ocean and being slung up by their tails in port.
Emma monopolises the bait. Quickly putting herself outside another 3 crates of bait. Everyone bangs off more images of her and by about lunch time she is off. The visibility is dropping away too. So we decide to head over to Tiger Wall for afternoon dives.
Tiger Wall is the only dive of the week that receives a mixed reception. Vis is murky here now and several of the group restrict themselves to one dive. Pedro and John love the place. The murk adds an evocative quality of light to their images and for about 30 minutes the resident reef sharks just line up to be photographed. They both come back with some stunners and the shots are a little different too. I strap on a macro lens and see a tiger. Damn it!
I then decided to pop back in for a short hang on the safety line a shoot some silhouettes of the sharks in the afternoon sunlight. Quite a few others head back to the mini-wall for more classic images. Im happy playing with silhouettes such common images with film are quite rarely done well on digital. I get the odd keeper, but I dont think Ill be bothering the Jury at Antibes with these!
Back up at the surface I decide its time to have a go at some polecaming and my bicycle brake cable is excellent. I m really pleased with my shots. Pedro joins in with his much more professional looking system and we shoot some reef sharks at the surface at sunset. Its a lot of fun.
After dinner we motor back to Tiger Beach for a night dive. Claiming flat feet or something similar I duck this one. Its been a long day I reassure myself. The real men head in. Mark, Robin, Chris, John and I think Pedro join Jim. They have a great time. I take stick for the rest of the week.
Nervous smiles from Robin, Mark and Chris before the night dive at Tiger Beach. Sadly I had to stay on board to capture these shots!
I'll try and write the rest on my flight tomorrow. If there is room to type on Easyjet!

All eyes are on Tiger Woods this week at Augusta National, but aren't they always? His comeback to No. 1 dominates the pre-tournament talk, which is not a bad thing for his challengers.
This list of top 10 players to watch has a few omissions. Brandt Snedeker has to be questioned because of a recent rib injury. Dustin Johnson is always a threat but has to hold it together on Sunday in majors. Luke Donald is figuring out swing changes, and Lee Westwood might just have too much negative reinforcement. Ernie Els' putting is an issue at Augusta. Charl Schwartzel, the 2012 champ, is in the mix somewhere.
Here are 10 guys who figure to be on leaderboards at some point during the week, in order of predicted finish.

Liberty News
Women's basketball team celebrates successful season
|Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. stands with the 2012-13 Lady Flames basketball team during the team's awards banquet Wednesday night.
The Liberty University women's basketball team celebrated another successful season Wednesday night during an annual awards banquet at the Hancock Welcome Center. All seven outgoing seniors from the team were honored and Lady Flames standout Devon Brown learned that she had been named Richmond Times-Dispatch State Women's Player of the Year.
More than 120 were in attendance, including Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., who showed his support for what has historically been "the most successful athletic team at Liberty."
"Becki and I were honored to attend last night. We are so proud of Head Coach Carey Green and the girls for representing Liberty University so well, both on and off the court," Falwell said.
Director of Athletics Jeff Barber also attended. He said the Lady Flames "have done a tremendous job over the years."
"Their hard work, under the direction of Coach Green and his staff, has led to many conference titles. In almost every season for nearly two decades, they have competed on collegiate basketball's largest stage — the NCAA Tournament — including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2005," Barber said. "Their success is a culmination of Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr.'s vision for a world-class university with athletic teams competing at the highest level. He always said, 'if it's Christian it ought to be better,' and this talented group of young ladies definitely reflects the excellence and Christ-like attitude he envisioned."
This season, Liberty (27-7, 16-2 Big South) won its second-straight Big South Conference title and its 15th in the last 17 years. The Lady Flames finished the season as a No. 13 seed in their 15th NCAA Tournament appearance with a loss to 4-seed Purdue. LU finished No. 16 in the Mid-Major Top 25 and topped the entire NCAA in rebound margin for the second-straight year.

MORAGA — The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions will announce the outcome of its investigation into potential violations by the Saint Mary's College men's basketball program in a Friday morning teleconference.
The Gaels' program has been the subject of an NCAA inquiry dating to at least last summer that reportedly involves questions related to the recruitment of some of its current or past Australian players.
It's not known what the committee determined and whether possible sanctions would have impact on this season and the Gaels' drive toward the NCAA tournament.
Mike McAlpin, campus director of media relations for Saint Mary's, said the school would have no comment on the matter until after the NCAA reveals results of its investigation.
Britton Banowsky, chair of the Committee on Infractions and commissioner of Conference USA, will make the announcement, assisted by Greg Sankey, executive associate commissioner and chief operating officer for the Southeastern Conference.
Saint Mary's has clinched the No. 2 seed for the West Coast Conference tournament and boasts an overall record of 25-5 — its sixth consecutive season with at least 25 victories.

There's never TMI, too much information for me. As long as it's not too much for yourself and have regrets sharing. It's good to be honest and genuine, and I respect that.
Exploring our sexual side in dreams truly reveals to us a lot about what we desire and what drives us and who we really are. Some psychologists feel that sexual desire is the main driving force in just about every decision we make in life. Something as mundane as combing your hair can be linked to sex. Why do I comb my hair?.... to look more attractive... so I can mate... procreate... and make copies of my species. It's in our evolutionary programming. So exploring our sexual fantasies is not a waste of time, or something to giggle about. It may actually be more spiritually enlightening on the road to self discovery than anything else you can do in a lucid dream.
It's also fun. And fun is fun. And fun should never be taboo.

Switching Keyboards on Om 2007.2
From Openmoko
Fix Default
To add/change the key layout on the default keypad (I added a > and a / to the 1 key), edit /etc/multitap-pad/im-multipress.conf
[keys] KP_0 = +;=;/;\\ KP_1 = .;,;/;>;-;?;!;@;:;(;) KP_2 = a;b;c;2 KP_3 = d;e;f;3 KP_4 = g;h;i;4 KP_5 = j;k;l;5 KP_6 = m;n;o;6 KP_7 = p;q;r;s;7 KP_8 = t;u;v;8 KP_9 = w;x;y;z;9 KP_10 = A;B;C;2 KP_11 = D;E;F;3 KP_12 = G;H;I;4 KP_13 = J;K;L;5 KP_14 = M;N;O;6 KP_15 = P;Q;R;S;7 KP_16 = T;U;V;8 KP_17 = W;X;Y;Z;9[code]
Matchbox keyboard
Another keyboard is available: matchbox-keyboard. It is a full QWERTY keyboard. This howto is based on a blog entry which can be found here
What does the keyboard look like?
- All keys can be generated
- Takes up less space than the keypad (multitap-pad), leaving more space for the application
- You pretty much have to use a stylus. With difficulty you can hit keys with the corner of a fingernail.
How to install it?
If you use a ScaredyCat release (http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/), use the following:
opkg remove -force-depends multitap-pad opkg install matchbox-keyboard-inputmethod opkg install matchbox-keyboard-im opkg install matchbox-keyboard-applet
Otherwise, you'll have to download the ipk files from here. Assuming you have a working internet connection on your Freerunner, you can do the following:
cd /tmp mkdir matchbox-keyboard wget http://www.ginguppin.de/files/keyboard-ipk.tar.bz2 tar -jxf keyboard-ipk.tar.bz2 opkg remove -force-depends multitap-pad opkg install matchbox-keyboard-inputmethod*.ipk opkg install matchbox-keyboard-im*.ipk opkg install matchbox-keyboard-applet*.ipk cd .. rm -rf matchbox-keyboard
To add a button to enable showing / hiding the keyboard, edit /etc/matchbox/session. In the list of applets after --end-applets, add keyboard, and restart your X server
How to switch between matchbox-keyboard and multitap-pad
If you want to keep the multitap keyboard, but also be able to start up the matchbox-keyboard, you can follow these ugly instructions:
First you must install matchbox-keyboard.
opkg install matchbox-keyboard
Do the following (from the terminal or an ssh session with DISPLAY=:0.0):
killall multitap-pad matchbox-keyboard > /dev/null 2>&1 &
(If you type the above commands with multitap, you have to leave off the redirection of matchbox-keyboard output, since several of the keys you need are missing.)
Caveats: When you start the matchbox-keyboard, it stays up all the time. This will (among other things) prevent you from unlocking, since the keyboard covers the openmoko logo at the bottom of the lock screen. You will need to:
- nohup multitap-pad -d &
- killall matchbox-keyboard
to close it down, and at least get the matchbox keyboard going again. You should do that any time you're going to leave the neo alone for any length of time, so you can unlock it later.
To make sure you don't end up removing all your keyboard input capability, you can create a new .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ for starting and closing the keyboard. This is pretty easy to do by copying and editing an existing .desktop file.
Switch back to the original Openmoko keypad
If you for whatever reason need to switch back, here are the steps:
opkg remove matchbox-keyboard-inputmethod matchbox-keyboard-im matchbox-keyboard-applet opkg install multitap-pad
Comment or delete the following lines in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules :
#"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/libmb-im-invoker.so" #"matchbox-im-invoker" "Virtual Keyboard" "" "" "*"
Now restart the xserver:
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart

- — Harry Potter's first attempt at tessomancy[src]
Tessomancy[1] is the art of reading tea leaves to predict events in the future. Tessomancy is taught as part of the Divination course at Hogwarts.
Known readings
- "Well, Harry's got a wonky sort of cross -- that's trials and suffering. But this here could be the sun -- that's happiness. So... you're going to suffer but you're going to be happy about it."
- —Ron Weasley reading Harry Potter's tea leaves[src]
In the same year, during the same Divination lesson, Trelawney read the tea leaves in Neville Longbottom's cup and commented that it was not good. After she asked if his grandmother was well.
Tea leaf symbols
From Unfogging the Future, pages five and six:
- Acorn - "windfall, unexpected gold"
- Club - "an attack"
- Cross - "trials and suffering"
- Falcon - "a deadly enemy"
- The Grim - "death"
- Skull - "danger in your path"
- Sun - "great happiness"
The terms "Tessomancy", "Tasseomancy" and "tassology" derive from the French word for teacup; "tasse", and the Greek suffixes, "-graph", "-logy", and "-mancy".

Liberty News
Bridgette Wells receives Christian/Community Service Award
Liberty University junior Bridgette Wells is the recipient of this year's Christian/Community Service Volunteer of the Year Award for her outstanding contribution and commitment to service in the Lynchburg community.
Lew Weider, associate professor and Director of Christian/Community Service (CSER), presented the award at Wednesday's convocation.
"She has been a model leader, citizen and servant, which is just the kind of Champion for Christ we hope will leave this university and commit themselves to a lifetime of service no matter what profession they pursue," Weider said.
|Bridgette Wells receives the award from Lew Weider, director of Christian/Community Service (CSER), and professor Alison Pettit, her CSER supervisor.
Wells, a psychology major with a minor in women's ministry, volunteered at Timberlake United Methodist Church in Lynchburg and was nominated for the award by CSER supervisor and professor Alison Pettit. She committed herself to service projects through Rebuilding Together, which included roofing and painting projects for a local elderly woman. She also worked with children at the church, coordinated games and activities for residents with Alzheimer's at Heritage Green Assisted Living, and participated in the Salvation Army's bell-ringing campaign.
"Once I got involved I just wanted to continue to do more," Wells said. "It's actually helped me in my Christian faith, in my walk. It's helped me to be more like Christ because Christ served and He calls us to serve -- and so by serving I'm blessing others through Him."
Wells said she plans to continue volunteering with the church during the next school year. After graduation, she hopes to become a gerontological counselor and work with the elderly, either as a bereavement counselor for a hospice or as a counselor in assisted living communities or nursing homes.
The Volunteer of the Year Christian Service Award is presented annually to a student who demonstrates excellence in Christian service and ministry. Students are nominated by their supervisors at the organizations where they volunteer. Liberty requires students to complete a minimum of 20 hours of Christian service each semester to fulfill graduation requirements and support the mission of the university to serve others.
- According to an economic impact study released in 2010, Liberty students are serving their community in big ways. View the study here.

EXCLUSIVEAt least one NBA star is willing to say it -- Kobe Bryant is a much tougher opponent than his airness, Michael Jordan was ... at least that's what Tracy McGrady hinted. (Pause for lightning bolts)
McGrady was responding to Kobe's recent comment that T-Mac was the hardest player he ever had to guard -- so, we expected him to throw a little praise back at Kobe.
But watch his comments at LAX -- McGrady wasn't just being nice ... and actually went out of his way to say it's "not even close" who his toughest assignment was on the court.
Remember, McGrady checked Jordan during MJ's final championship season in Chicago ... when he was older, but still making opponents look foolish (see Bryon Russell).
So, did Tracy just forget his MJ years -- or does he think Kobe is that good?

Jerry Russell, father of state Sen. Wendy Davis, dies
AUSTIN — Sen. Wendy Davis, who pushed back an announcement of her political plans to be with her hospitalized father, said Thursday she was "heartbroken" to report that he had died.
Jerry Russell, 77, founded the Stage West Theatre in Fort Worth. He died after suffering complications from abdominal surgery.
Davis, D-Fort Worth, came to her father's hospital bedside two weeks ago, fresh from a West Coast trip to gauge support for a race for governor.
She said in a Saturday interview at Texas Health Harris Methodist Heart Center, where her father was being cared for, that she was in the final stages of a decision on her political future. Just a week ago, she'd said she hoped her father would be able to join her when she announced her plans, which she then said would be in a few weeks.
"I am heartbroken to report that my father, Jerry Russell, passed away peacefully in the early hours of this morning. He was surrounded by his children and his wife, our stepmom, Suzi. During his time in the hospital, there was never a moment that one of us wasn't by his side," Davis said in a Thursday Facebook post.
"We, and the community, will forever be grateful for the significant impact he made on our lives. He and his warm, sparkling brown eyes will be deeply missed," Davis' post said.
Davis has talked about the difficulty her mother faced putting food on the table for her and her three siblings after her parents' divorce. She recalled those times in Saturday's interview.
"Our family went from a family where we had dinner on the table at 6:30 every night, a mom who wasn't working outside the home. My dad was gone a lot because he was always involved in theater, but he was very involved in our lives when he was around. He played with us. He challenged us. He did homework with us. And then — poof — it was gone," she said, recalling that her mom went to work at an ice cream store most nights and weekends.
"Suddenly, we went to a place where we were just pretty much raising ourselves, and our whole world turned upside down," she said.
She also has talked about her father as an important influence, writing in a 2002 Father's Day essay in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about what she learned from the academic competition he encouraged, the spirited childhood games he took part in, and the comforting advice he provided when they'd lose.
She said in the essay that the lessons of perseverance propelled her past hard times through her graduation from Harvard Law School and her run for city council. Her Senate run would come later.
"I am who I am because of you, Dad," she wrote in 2002.
State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, said she spoke to Davis on Thursday and offered her condolences. Van de Putte has talked about the support she received from Davis after the death of her infant grandson and her own father this year.
"It's time like these you have to hold on tight," Van de Putte said.

I am a survivor of the Holocaust. Of the several concentration camps which I lived through, in one in Germany, I became close to two Slovak boys around my age named Artur and Miki. The three of us shared the same fate right through the end of the infamous twelve-day "Sachsenhausen Hunger March" and were liberated together near the town of Schwerin in northern Germany, on May 2, 1945.
I now live in New York City. In November, 2012, I published my memoir, "MEMORIES OF EVIL," where I described parting with Artur in Schwerin.
"Schwerin was a beehive of activity: ex-prisoners and American soldiers were swarming about. The Americans directed us to a former German army compound for food and lodging. As we passed the town park we came across some adult ex-prisoners I knew. They busied themselves setting up a campsite and cooking sausages. They invited me and my friends Miki and Artur to stay with them. Artur declined and decided to go on, but to Miki and me an army compound had the odor of a concentration camp about it and so we gladly accepted the invitation.
So, how did Artur and I part? We had been together through so much: in Heinkel, sleeping on the concrete floor, we used our breath and bodies to warm each other; we were together in all the small Jugendliche (juveniles) groups of the camps that followed; we shared our first Red Cross food package; we shared our "bed" on the forest ground of the last night of the Hunger March; and we had recently shared our first meal of freedom – a surfeit of delicious boiled new potatoes.
So, here is the question: what did we say to each other? And here is the answer: nothing. He left, I stayed.
We were not insensitive. We were simply emotionally dead. My entire concentration camp ordeal had felt surreal to me and thus Artur and Miki were equally unreal. Artur and I parted and we never saw each other again.
Fast forward 67 years. In early July, 2012, I received a phone call from a woman speaking with a strong Israeli accent:
"This is Ruthi Paz, I am calling from Israel and my father (she pronounced it fazzer) thinks he knew you a long time ago in Germany."
"Well, I don't come from Germany, I come from Slovakia, but I was in Germany in concentration camps during the Second World War."
"Well, so was my fazzer. His name is Yitzchak Ringwald, but his original name in Slovakia was Artur."
Yitzchak/Artur gets on the phone line. His language is Hebrew, which I don't speak, and my language obviously is English, which he does not speak. So, we have an emotional conversation in Slovak, our native language which neither of us had much occasion to use over the past decades. Speaking it is a struggle for both of us. It turns out that it was his grandson who discovered me on the Internet. The grandson also discovered a reference to my 2006 memoir "1000:1 ODDS." I promise Artur to mail him a copy.
The other problem is that Artur does not use a computer or the Internet. So, I exchange several e-mails with his daughter, Ruthi. We communicate our mutual feelings of excitement over the recent turn of events; she gives me their exact address in Haifa. I airmail Artur a copy of my book. He phones me again some ten days later to thank me for it. He, of course, is unable to read it and his children are attempting to translate it via Google Translator.
There is more to the story.
In our second phone conversation Artur tells me that our mutual friend Miki also lives in Haifa. It takes till September before I receive a phone call from Miki. He had kept is original name; his last name is Brand. Miki and I had stayed together until our repatriation to Prague and he got to meet my mother after I ran into her on a Prague street.
He, too, neither speaks English, nor is he capable of using the Internet. He finally mails me a letter in Slovak, with copies of some old post-War photos of himself, one of me from my home town of Trencin after the War, and a couple of recent photos of me which his grandson discovered on the Internet. We exchange further correspondence by mail, in Slovak. I find this language easier to write than to speak since I can do so with a dictionary next to my computer. My last letter is dated November, by which time my new memoir, "Memories of Evil" has been published; I mail him a copy, trusting his grandson will be able to attempt a translation.

Lady of the Lake, wrapped in blue, hoisted back into her original home./Photo by Stephen Roullier
Wrapped up in a blue tarp, the Lady of the Lake, a 1930s era Art-Deco style statue and an icon of Echo Park Lake, was carted back to its original location early this morning, the tip of a peninsula that juts into the northern part of the lake. The statue was removed from the peninsula sometime during the 1980s when it was placed in a nearby storage yard after being heavily damaged by vandals. After the Lady of the Lake was restored in the late 1990s, the statue had to be located to a less prominent spot on the east side of the lake since a pump house had taken its place.
Engineers working on the $85-million lake clean up project said they planned to return the statute, officially known as the "Nuestra Reina de Los Angeles" (Queen of the Angels), to its original location as part of the clean up.

Mamata miraculous plus Duronto educates
Indians were all view and also ear mainly because Train Reverend Mamata Banerjee got up to provide the girl Railway Budget talk with the Parliament about This summer 3.
Could your firebrand Trinamool Institutions the first innovator, regarded far more for her marked by controversy moves when compared with politics ideology, latest a much better Railway Spending budget as compared with your ex forerunners, this redoubtable Lalu Prasad, or even could the woman's this lady don't keep up to date to help customers' objectives?
All the region continued to wait in suspense. Banerjee, yet, could not sadden. Though her Railway Resources had been scornfully made fun of to get the overtly proBengal one by Banerjee's critics, the idea did purge a great deal of firsts nonstop long distance train engines Duronto being pandora rings uk sale one too.
For any history, Lalu Prasad obtained consist of round trains managing on Three hundred kilometer each hour in her final thomas sabo uk shops Railway Spending budget.
Though it could have taken other many years to assemble national infrastructure to get bullet educates, Banerjee's proposal pertaining to Duronto educates looked more and plausible.
So what are these 'Duronto' gucci uk belts train locomotives? Understand. . .
Alternating current in addition to nonAC; swifter than Rajdhani
Duronto locomotives are going to be involving 2 kinds: wholly airconditioned appropriated train an AC and nonAC merged set-aside teach.
The cost would include the money necessary for foodstuff. In line with rail methods, the actual Duranto prices are going to be cheaper than that from Rajdhani.
They will be faster as compared with Rajdhani too. For instance, the brand new biweekly workout involving Brand new Delhi in addition to Howrah will take 16 hrs pandora bracelet stores to fund the distance, compared to 17 working hours undertaken from the Rajdhani Share.
The ChennaiNizamuddin Duronto workout predicted to use 31 hrs for its voyage, regarding 20 min below the amount of time obtained by simply Chennai Rajdhani, in line with railway options.
Bengal mulberry outlet online mulberry outlet store mulberry bags outlet obtains 5
In the Twelve Duronto educates proclaimed, Gulf Bengal obtained five.
The actual locomotives for Western side Bengal are generally the Air conditioning 1 somewhere between Howrah and Mumbai, any nonAC between Howrah and Delhi and also nonAC locomotives in between Sealdah together with Completely new Delhi and Kolkata and also Amritsar.
This DelhiSealdah practice will certainly show up a full half an hour prior to any Rajdhani.
All four teaches will probably work twice per weeks time. Railway officers trust which will the trains is going to hit some sort of guitar chord while using passengers.
"Immediately soon after she (Banerjee) declared the listing connected with Duronto locomotives, there is request from different states. That demonstrates the way in which well-known these are,Inches any person rail recognized said.

Republicans should follow Grover off fiscal cliff
Listening to Democrats and the media, you could be forgiven for thinking the point of a deal over the looming "fiscal cliff" wouldn't be to reduce the deficit so much as to reduce the influence of one man, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform.
Known to one and all simply as Grover, he is the keeper of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge signed by almost all Republicans committing themselves not to raise taxes. For this offense, Grover is deemed the enemy of all that is right and just.

Over 15 years ago, Pasquini delivered to the world the Livia 90 Espresso machine, a powerhouse in the coffee world that delivered piping hot, high quality espresso more quickly and with better results than virtually every machine on the marketplace. As technology developed, the popularity of the Livia 90 began to wane and Pasquini was faced with the challenge of besting their most popular machine.
Today, Pasquini has finally delivered their answer and we believe that you will be most impressed! J.L. Hufford is proud to carry the next innovation to the line of excellent, high-quality Pasquini Livia espresso machines, the Livia G4 Automatic Espresso Machine. By utilizing the features and concepts that made the Livia one of the best selling espresso machines of all-time and introducing some enticing new features, Pasquini has truly outdone themselves with this special machine.
While the Livia 90 was in all areas considered a smashing success by many coffee enthusiasts, a few minor design flaws coupled with rapidly developing espresso technology eventually rendered the Livia 90 outdated as there were simply many better options available on the marketplace. Pasquini recognized the many excellent qualities of their Livia 90 machine and set out to not only match, but to exceed those qualities as they developed what is now known as the Livia G4.
The main difference that you'll notice between the Livia 90 and the Livia G4 is a steep upgrade in build quality. Every single part of this excellent machine is manufactured from the highest quality materials and is expertly assembled by hand, giving you a machine that is truly second to none as far as the quality of the build materials.
As if the heavily upgraded build quality wasn't enough, Pasquini has also included a host of new features that will allow you to brew quality espresso with an ease never before seen on a Pasquini Machine.
The first thing to catch your eye as you unpackage this machine is the beautiful, 100% stainless steel body design. This machine is outfitted with the highest quality stainless steel from top to bottom and is truly a gorgeous centerpiece in any kitchen or coffee bar and is sure to become a much talked about piece in any setting.
The stainless steel cover is very simple to remove allowing you full access to the internal components of the machine. This makes deep cleaning the internal components of the machine a breeze and allows you to make any adjustments or repairs without undue hassle trying to open the machine up.
This machine features a unique dual-tier cup warmer design that features not one but two separate passively heated shelves for storing your drinkware. This unique design change provides a 22% increase in the amount of space allotted for cup warming. It is important to never extract espresso into a cold vessel as this will immediately sour the brew and reduce its quality greatly, Pasquini has made the process of keeping your mug warm as simple as it can be.
The Livia G4 is equipped with dual paddle style levers for operating the steam wand and the hot water spout. The steam wand can be operated in either a continuous mode by raising the lever upwards or on an as-needed basis by lowering the lever. The hot water only functions as needed and operates in the same method regardless of the way that you move the lever. This specialized "dual position" steam valve gives you precise control over the use of your steam and gives you the freedom to use it how you wish. The steam wand is insulated to help reduce the temperature of the wand, although it will still get hot with extended use.
This model features a specialized dual-needle gauge that allows you to closely monitor the pressure of both the steam and the boiler during the brewing process.
The first major upgrade of note is the all new, fully plated heat-exchange boiler. This special auto-filling, 1.5-liter boiler is plated to prevent lime scale buildup and to provide your special machine with a very long lifespan. This new boiler also meets California Proposition 65 standards and features no lead bleaching and its smaller capacity makes it far more energy efficient than the Livia 90. This specialized boiler system is also designed to provide you with enough water and steam to allow both functions to operate simultaneously without losing heat or pressure, and this upgraded boiler also improves the pressure of the steam significantly over the Livia 90.
Another major upgrade featured on the Livia G4 is a self-heating brew group head. This specialized all-brass group head features an independent thermostatically controlled heating element to help ensure equal heat distribution across your coffee and it also helps to reduce heat loss giving you a more steady extraction and an overall better espresso.
You will also notice that one the inside of the machine, the "brains" of the unit, or the electronic chip boards and other components have been relocated to the bottom of the unit and away from heat sources. This was a major concern of the Livia 90 and it has been corrected in the Livia G4.
This machine also features many other specialized and upgraded internal components like a single probe boiler auto fill valve, upgraded boiler thermo couple heating safety, weight based wireless low water alert system, and much more. There are also a large variety of various steam wand upgrades and espresso machine accessories that can be purchased to truly tailor this unique system to your preferences.

commercial property for rent or lease, Industrial Space For Lease.
Cove Oregon, Commercial & Industry Space for lease or rent
Agents, Owners
Cove (OR) commercial property for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Cove industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Cove warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Many things should be considered when contemplating a new Cove commercial lease and relocating to a new location. In addition to the actual dollar amount of the lease particular consideration should be made concerning the Cove area for recruiting purposes and retaining existing employees. Study the areas available and the possibility of expansion should the Cove business grow. If you are managing a start-up, your undertaking can be even more daunting as you may have no indication on how your Cove business will evolve and the area you will need.
Search Cove real estate and space for sale, lease and rent
While scouting suitable property you need for your Cove business, negotiating terms and conditions, expenses, maintenance & repairs costs, sub-lease options, and real estate liability can be involved, by having a professional Cove broker, you can save on time and stress by letting an experienced, knowledge professional do your bargaining for you. It's also wise to hire your own Cove real estate attorney to look over the final contract before committing to a long-term and legally binding contract. Early termination of lease contracts can be expensive.
Cove commercial, industrial real estate, and land for commercial or industrial development, in nearly all cases has to be specifically zoned for a particular, or multiple business use. Investments in both Cove commercial and Industrial properties ideally will result in real estate appreciation and either be an ideal home for the purchasers business, or for the Cove investor, a return on investment from rental income. On the other hand a misguided or emotional purchase can entail risk, such as bankruptcy of the tenant business and a decline in Cove real estate value. Low demand for the business and overbuilding are just two reasons for declining investment return on capital.

Documents obtained from Homeland Security disclose multiple plots by al Qaeda against aviation targets in Great Britain:
Newly disclosed documents allege al-Qaida had plans to turn cameras into stun guns and crash a hijacked plane into East London's Canary Wharf development.
The U.S. Department of Homeland security document was obtained by ABC News and detailed as many as nine plots to hijack and crash aircraft.
None of them took place, as computer files written in English belonging to a key lieutenant of Osama bin Laden were seized in Lahore, Pakistan, in 2004.
British security officials told The Times of London the Heathrow suicide plan was sophisticated, and involved designing equipment such as cameras that could pass security checks easily at vulnerable airports, then be assembled into combination stun guns and bombs on board by the hijackers.
I'm pretty sure the "key lieutenant" was Naeem Noor Khan, whose capture in Lahore, along with his laptop, disrupted many al Qaeda plots. Khan has also been linked to the London subway bombings.
