United States District Court, D. Maine
February 11, 2019
JAMES STILE, Plaintiff,v.CUMBERLAND COUNTY SHERIFF, et al., Defendants.
Court denies a plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of
its dispositive order because he failed to demonstrate that
the order was based on a manifest error of law or fact.
October 14, 2014, Mr. Stile filed a complaint against
Cumberland County, the Cumberland County Sheriff, and twenty
Cumberland County corrections officers pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. Compl. (ECF No. 1) (Cumberland
County Compl.). On September 28, 2018, the Court issued
an order on the Defendants' summary judgment motion.
Order on Defs.' Mot. for J. on the Pleadings and Mot. for
Summ. J. (ECF No. 252) (Cumberland County
Order). On October 22, 2018, Mr. Stile filed a motion
for reconsideration on the Cumberland County Order. Mot.
for Recons. On Order on Summ. J. of Court. (ECF No. 259)
(Pl.'s Recons. Mot.).
same day, Defendants Bisson, LeBlanc, and Penenka filed an
interlocutory appeal to the First Circuit Court of Appeals on
the Cumberland County Order. Notice of Appeal (ECF
No. 258). A week later, on October 29, 2018, Mr. Stile
appealed the Cumberland County Order to the Court of Appeals
for the First Circuit. Notice of Appeal (ECF No.
266).[1] On February 4, 2019, the First Circuit
granted the Defendants/Appellees' motion to dismiss Mr.
Stile's appeal. J. of the United States Court of
Appeals for the First Circuit at 1-2 (ECF No. 278). The
Defendants' interlocutory appeal remains pending.
Procedural Issues
Mr. Stile titles his motion a motion for reconsideration, he
does not identify under what rule he brings his motion. The
Cumberland County Order was not a "final
judgment" because it did not resolve all the claims by
all the parties in this suit. See Riley v. Kennedy,
553 U.S. 406, 419 (2008) (quoting Catlin v. United
States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945) ("A final
judgment is one which ends the litigation on the merits and
leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the
judgment") (internal quotation marks omitted));
Guillemard-Ginorio v. Contreras-Gomez, 490 F.3d 31,
37 n.4 (1st Cir. 2007) (acknowledging that, absent
certification under Fed.R.Civ.P. 54, an order granting
partial summary judgment does not satisfy the requirements
for appellate jurisdiction"); Widi v. McNeil,
2:12-cv-00188-JAW, 2014 WL 4987969, *5 (D. Me. Oct. 7, 2014).
As a result, Mr. Stile's motion cannot be brought under
either Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 59(e) or 60 because
the Cumberland County Order was not a final judgment, and the
Court has not directed entry of a final judgment on any
claims pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b).
See Barrows v. Resolution Trust Corp., 39 F.3d 1166,
at *3 (1st Cir. 1994) (table opinion) (Rule 59(e)
"applies only to final judgments"); Farr Man
& Co. v. M/V Rozita, 903 F.2d 871, 874 (1st Cir.
1990) ("Rule 60 applies only to final
judgments"); Widi, 2014 WL 4987969, at *5.
Stile's motion must fall under the District of
Maine's Local Rule 7:
A motion to reconsider an interlocutory order of the Court,
meaning a motion other than one governed by Fed.R.Civ.P. 59
or 60, shall demonstrate that the order was based on a
manifest error of fact or law and shall be filed within 14
days from the date of the order unless the party seeking a
reconsideration shows cause for not filing within that time.
D. Me. Loc. R. 7(f). As the Court issued its order on
September 28, 2018, a motion for reconsideration under Rule
7(f) was due on or before October 15, 2018. Mr. Stiles'
motion for reconsideration-dated October 18, 2018,
Pl.'s Recons. Mot. at 4-was docketed on October
22, 2018. Both fall outside of Local Rule 7(f)'s fourteen
day filing period, and ordinarily, the Court would dismiss
the motion for reconsideration as untimely.
Mr. Stile is incarcerated, and it is not clear when he
received the Court's order; this impacts calculations
under the "prisoner mailbox rule" and whether his
motion was timely. See Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266
(1988); Casanova v. Dubois, 304 F.3d 75,
78-79 (1st Cir. 2002). Even though Mr. Stile's motion may
be untimely and even though Mr. Stile has not otherwise shown
cause for not filing within Local Rule's 7(f)'s
timeframe, the Court will address the merits of his motion
given its uncertainty as to the timeliness of his motion.
James Stile's Objections
to his contentions in his motion for reconsideration, Mr.
Stile's motion does not assert arguments that the
Cumberland County Order "was based on a manifest error
of fact or law." D. Me. Loc. R. 7(f). ...

When I was in my mid-20s (maybe in the late 80s), "The Manchurian Candidate" made a revival on the big screen, and I saw it, and really enjoyed it while also thinking it was something almost campy. Now that I've seen it a second time, I realize that I was too uneducated to appreciate the film - this was an incredibly well-done movie, somehow able to take the absolutely unbelievable - bordering on the ridiculous - and make it seem positively realistic and possible. For me, The Manchurian Candidate is almost like a "Greatest Hits" album of actors, and I cannot imagine how Frank Sinatra - and for that matter, Lawrence Harvey - weren't nominated for Best Actor (the great Angela Lansbury was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, which is reasonable, but she was outperformed by both of these men). It says a lot that The Manchurian Candidate would speak louder and more clearly, and also be more believable, to an educated 55-year-old man than an enthusiastic, but ultimately ignorant 24-year-old boy. Back in the 1980s, I considered myself very knowledgeable about film for an amateur; what I wasn't knowledgeable about was life itself. Back then, I distinctly remember talking with a Vietnam Veteran, who made an off-the-cuff remark to the extent of, "I really have trouble watching that stuff, because it messes with my mind," and I can easily see how he thought that ... now; back then, I didn't really understand. I just cannot get over how this movie managed to make something so utterly implausible seem so incredibly realistic and possible. Although I had no memory of how the film ended, I did manage to guess the ending sequence with a high degree of accuracy, but though I knew what was coming (or thought I did), nothing was ruined or compromised - the film ended exactly how it needed to - it was a heart-wrenching, but beautiful, ending to a heart-wrenching film. The Manchurian Candidate is a *big* film, with *big*, *bold* ideas and messages, and it succeeds on that level, but what makes it truly great is the individual-level, human tragedy that unfolds before our eyes. The irony of a sabotage-themed work invoking such strong feelings of patriotism - all without overtly manipulating the viewer in that regard - is amazing in-and-of itself. I'm not sure how "good" this film is rated by critics, but this is absolutely one of the most important Cold War movies I've ever seen. Sadly, people who are any younger than I am will simply not be able to relate to this in the way that I can, as my formative years were spent during the apogee of the Cold War - in elementary school, we'd crawl under our desks to simulate how we'd act in case of a nuclear-bomb attack. Although I suppose this generation of children has their own cross to bear, with being trained how to deal with school shootings - the more things change, the more they stay the same. There is a *ton* of symbolism in this movie - much of it obvious, some of it more subtle, but it's probably nearly impossible to pick it all out. You could watch this film a second time, just looking for symbols, and not waste your time. An absolutely classic film in several regards, and the best work I've ever seen from both Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Harvey.
I'd never seen a Rat Pack movie before, and only knew of "Ocean's 11" by name (this 1960 film was remade as "Ocean's Eleven" with an ensemble cast of mega-stars in 2001. This is a "heist" film taking place in Las Vegas, where Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra) reassembles his WWII 82nd Airborne Division buddies for "one more mission." The number of recognizable faces (Henry Silva, for example) in Ocean's 11 is remarkable (the same can be said for the 2001 remake, although I've never seen it - when Andy Garcia is the 5th-most famous actor/actress in a movie, you know you've spent some money on salaries). Rapid-fire dialog was extremely popular in the 40s and 50s (think: "His Girl Friday"), and there are a few wonderful examples here as well: Vince Massler (Buddy Lester) approaches Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra) and Jimmy Foster (Peter Lawford), worried about the caper, and this amusing exchange takes place in less than two seconds: "I can't do it boys. I got my wife to think of." "Think of her rich." "Think of me dead." The dialog in this movie is not only "rapid-fire," but it's classic "rat-pack" - cornball gangster talk like something out of a Mickey Spillane novel: Picture Mike Hammer on speed. The drinks are fast, the women are furious, and this is classic 1950s pulp that simply cannot be replicated: Even though I haven't seen the 2001 version, there's no way George Clooney could pull this off - he just doesn't have the gangster in him. It's not even a positive trait; it just is what it is, and it's a product of its time - I'm only 45 minutes into the movie, and I'm surprised nobody has used the term "doll-face." --- Okay, I finished the movie (I even rewatched the first half, because I took a couple of days off), and my assessment is that it's really a pretty awful film, and should only be watched by Rat Pack devotees and completists. This is a 2:10 movie, and the entire first half - maybe a little longer - is devoid of anything, with the possible exception of some character development. You're basically "getting to know" Danny Ocean and his ten friends who were deployed together in WWII, and it is *slow going*, and I mean *boring*. The payoff in Ocean's 11 comes in the last ten minutes, when a genuinely great twist ending will leave your jaw hanging open, but you have to "suffer and endure" up until that point. If I had to pick a "least favorite" and "most favorite" character, respectively, it would be Akim Tamiroff (in a needless, comic-relief role as Spiros Acebos, "the big boss"), and Cesar Romero (as Duke Santos, the man who *nobody* wants to mess with - this film does a good job at making him look enormous in physical stature (he was 6'3" but seemed even taller)). I'm very curious to hear from some Rat Pack fans about why I'm wrong. I have never seen a movie with more stars in it that flopped so badly - actually, it wasn't a "flop" so much as that it was just dull, dull, dull. We were literally halfway through the movie, and didn't know anything at all about what was going to happen - people were just sitting around, chatting, drinking, and shooting pool. Recommended for historical purposes only; not recommended for anyone wanting to watch a good film. The closing shot is absolutely fantastic, with The Pack walking by the viewers. The following video shows the ending, but doesn't spoil anything about the main plot of the movie - still, since it's such a cool scene, I'll mark it as a spoiler. If you watch it, do note the *very* tongue-in-cheek, hilarious billboard in the final moments, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the film: *** SPOILERS FOLLOW *** To see why I'm so anal about tagging threads, click on Richard Boone above - we're building something beautiful here.

Completing Sam Mendes' slow transformation from a helmer of quiet dramas like Revolutionary Road into the British Michael Bay, the Spectre director and his special effects coordinator, Chris Corbould, have earned the new Guinness World Records record for the largest explosion ever staged for a film. (Somewhere, Vin Diesel senses opportunity slipping through his fingers, sets his twenty-sided die to the side, and raises his head to howl at an explosion-free sky.)
The conflagration—which you can watch below, if the world's biggest explosion is something you think you might like to see—apparently required more than 2000 gallons of fuel, 73 pounds of explosives, and constant vigilance from the watchers assigned to ensure Daniel Craig didn't tear himself loose from his contract and bolt from the set. The new record will presumably stand until some director does something really crazy—2500 gallons? 74 pounds of bombs?—to smash it into bright, highly distracting fireballs and shards.

END OF AN ERA: Matt Bonner announces retirement in the most 'Matt Bonner' way
As if losing Tim Duncan to retirement wasn't enough, former San Antonio Spurs forward Matt Bonner has announced his retirement in the most "Matt Bonner" way possible.
As if losing Tim Duncan to retirement wasn't enough, former San Antonio Spurs forward Matt Bonner has announced his retirement in the most "Matt Bonner" way possible.
Bonner announced his retirement from professional basketball on the Players Tribune Friday with a minimal words and one epic video.
Showcasing his wonderful sense of humor, Matty's retirement video has him eating a sandwich before the his press conference to an empty auditorium, and thanking everyone as he sails off into the sunset wearing the Spurs uniform
Here is what Bonner had to say:
Today, I'm announcing my retirement from the NBA. Thank you to everyone who supported this humble redheaded role player through the years. I loved every team I played for and every city I lived in.
Staying true to myself, I made this mildly humorous video. Unless a professional "spot shooting" league miraculously crops up, I hope you will continue the support for whatever comes for me after basketball.
Yours truly,
Matt Bonner
(aka The Red Rocket, aka The Red Mamba, aka The Sandwich Hunter, aka Coach "B")
Bonner played with the San Antonio Spurs for 10 seasons and was not picked up after the 2015-2016 season. He averaged 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, shot 45 percent from the field and 41 percent from the 3-point line while in San Antonio.
Best known for his 3-point shooting, Matty became a fan-favorite with his witty sense of humor.
Case in point his "Sandwich Hunter" series and "Coach B" series.
But don't fret too much Spurs fans. Bonner may be retired from the NBA but that doesn't mean he is leaving San Antonio.
The Spurs announced Bonner will be the new Spurs TV basketball analyst and will make his debut for the upcoming game against the Bucks.
The San Antonio Spurs announced today that former Spurs forward Matt Bonner will join the TV broadcast team as a studio analyst. Bonner will team up with Andrew Monaco in the studio for all Spurs produced home broadcasts and select road contests. The Spurs host the Milwaukee Bucks at the AT&T Center on Tuesday, Jan. 10 and Bonner will make his Spurs TV debut on FOX Sports Southwest's "Spurs Live" pre-game show at 7 p.m.
In addition to his pre and post-game show duties, the two-time NBA Champion will have a presence on Spurs digital properties and contribute his expertise to select Austin Spurs (NBA Development League) and San Antonio Stars (WNBA) TV broadcasts. Fans can now follow Bonner on Twitter (@MattBonner_SAS) for his unique insight on all things Silver and Black.
Thanks for the memories on the court Matt. Now for new ones behind the mic for Spurs games.

Why Should You Use Office Security Solutions?
In our recent blog post, we gave you advice on the steps to be taken to ensure your office is safe. However, even if all precautions are taken to ensure your office and the valuables inside it are safe, the only complete deterrent for thieves will be office security solutions fitted by security professionals.
If you are still unsure why you need professional office security solutions, then read our guide to find out why it's a must to keep your office safe.
1. Computers and other Electronics
As we mentioned in our previous office security post, when targeting offices, thieves are after expensive electronics such as laptops, computers, ipads, etc. These tools are what you use on a daily basis to conduct business, and without them, your business would effectively be slowed down or completely stopped until you sort everything with your insurance. This may slow you down weeks, or even months.
2. Staff Safety
Staff are at the heart of your business, and it is your responsibility to ensure their safety. While most burglaries are not violent, an office security system could also prevent issues with dangerous individuals, in case of conflict, especially if your staff deals with the public on a daily basis.
3. Protect Confidential Documents
Keeping business documents with sensitive information, or private details about your employees or clients is primordial. Without an efficient office security solution, these documents are at risk and could jeopardise your business.
If you have not equipped your office with a complete security solution yet, now is the time to do so, as summer is a high-risk period for burglaries, because of staff holidays or office closures. Get in touch with RACAM today if you would like more information about the security services we can provide for your office.

We are about to witness the mass destruction of Hyannis history. To anyone who hasn't been to Sea Captains Row on Pleasant Street behind Bradford's Hardware lately, the Hyannis historian will guide a little stroll through Hyannis nearly 200 years ago.
As we walk down the street, first on the left after Bradford's is the home of the Barnstable Patriot. Out front the latest maritime news from the world was posted, such as "A Noble Boy Lost": 19-year-old Thomas Holmes of Hyannis died of dysentery on ship Gertrude out of Calcutta. Maybe this building will be saved.
On the right is one of the oldest houses in Hyannis. It was built about 1830 by captain John Norris, a deepwater master. In 1873 it was bought by captain Jehiel Simmons, who took a load of grain in his schooner Cabot to Sligo, Ireland, in 1847 to relieve the suffering of the potato famine.
Later this was the home of the hero captain Charles I. Gibbs. Before the Civil War he was master of ships in the East India trade. His last voyage home from Calcutta to Boston was interrupted off Bermuda, where the USS Bainbridge, looking for Confederate blockade runners, fired a shot off her bow, telling them war had broken out. Gibbs then volunteered to serve as U.S. naval officer in four Civil War battles of Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans and Vicksburg. After the war he commanded ships going from California to Alaska. He commanded the lighthouse tender Verbena out of Hyannis. As master of the tender Azelia in 1906, he rescued the crew of the South Shoal Lightship off Nantucket, for which he received a national lifesaving medal.
Directly across the road is a house about as old, built around 1820 by Benjamin Hathaway. This was longtime home of captain William Bearse, once a deepwater master and later in the coastal trade as master of the schooners Hattie Baker and Plow Boy.
The house next door was built about 1842 for captain Timothy Baker. He sailed the fast topsail schooner Oscar for Scudder's New Packet line from Boston to New York in 1847. He had three vessels built, all called Howard. The first was a topsail schooner active as a packet boat in the Lewis Line between Boston and New York. The second was lost in 1844. He left the third Howard in New York to pilot a ship in Boston. He took passage on the steamer Ajax, which foundered in a gale off Race Point, where he died. A monument in the Baptist Cemetery records the tragedy.
In 1853 this old house was bought by captain Nelson Kelly, who also sailed a topsail schooner Compliance in the Scudder Packet Line between New York and Boston in 1846. Earlier, from 1836 to 1838 he sailed the schooner Emblem on a regular run from Connecticut ports of Norwich and New London to Boston, via New Bedford. Then he took Emblem all the way to then Mexican port of Galveston via New Orleans, perhaps with supplies for the rebellious American settlers.
And why are these historic register treasures being demolished? They will be replaced by the ironically named Sea Captains Row: shiny, new, million-dollar condominiums and high-priced rental apartments, and a crumb of one-room apartments for the undeserving poor.
How could this happen to Hyannis? The principal protector of its history, the Barnstable Historical Commission, was completely bypassed. Though these historic homes are protected within the Hyannis Historic District, whose own commission must approve all property changes there, the town agreed to waive its review of plans for these historic properties. The Hyannis historian was not consulted. A member of the Town Council who has written a book on local history cast the sole dissenting vote.
Historical buildings attract tourists. Pleasant Street goes directly from the railroad station and bus terminal to the ferry. American cities preserve their history and attract tourists: Charleston loves its old buildings. Boston preserves its North End on the popular Freedom Trail. But Hyannis apparently does not seek to attract visitors to see its unique National Register sea captains' homes.
This is the only National Register Historic District of intact sea captains homes in Hyannis. Other towns around the state have found creative solutions involving Community Preservation Funds and other financing to save and restore their historical sites. Where in all our policies and plans are our historical properties considered mere building lots for redevelopment?
Come, weep with me. But join with me in preventing further desecration.

Plaintiff, ALICE URIAH, through undersigned counsel, files this objection to the following Notices filed by Defendant:
a) NOTICE OF INTENT TO INTRODUCE MEDICAL NARRATIVES PURSUANT TO O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, dated August 11, 2011; and
b) THIRD NOTICE OF INTENT TO INTRODUCE MEDICAL NARRATIVES PURSUANT TO O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, dated August 15, 2011.
Defendant Shelly Hampton served Plaintiff with the above-referenced Notices pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18. The first Notice includes two sets of documents sought to be admitted: 1) three diagnostic reports from Dr. Garrett Ward dated March 5, 2010; and 2) a medical report from Dawn Wilson dated December 1, 2009. The second notice includes three diagnostic reports from Dr. Hugo Falcon dated December 29, 2009. For the reasons described below, this Court should disallow the introduction of all three (3) sets of documents associated with the two Notices.
O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, in its entirety, provides as follows:
"Admissibility Of Medical Reports; Qualifications Of Person Signing Reports; Right Of Adverse Party To Cross-Examine Person Signing Reports
(a) Upon the trial of any civil case involving injury or disease, any medical report in narrative form which has been signed and dated by an examining or treating licensed medical doctor, dentist, orthodontist, podiatrist, physical or occupational therapist, doctor of chiropractic, psychologist, advanced practice nurse, social worker, professional counselor, or marriage and family therapist shall be admissible and received in evidence insofar as it purports to represent the history, examination, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, or interpretation of tests or examinations, including the basis therefor, by the person signing the report, the same as if that person were present at trial and testifying as a witness; provided, however, that such report and notice of intention to introduce such report must first be provided to the adverse party at least 60 days prior to trial. A statement of the qualifications of the person signing the report may be included as part of the basis for providing the information contained therein, and the opinion of the person signing the report with regard to the etiology of the injury or disease may be included as part of the diagnosis. Any adverse party may object to the admissibility of any portion of the report, other than on the ground that it is hearsay, within 15 days of being provided with the report. Further, any adverse party shall have the right to cross-examine the person signing the report and provide rebuttal testimony. The party tendering the report may also introduce testimony of the person signing the report for the purpose of supplementing the report or otherwise.
(b) The medical narrative shall be presented to the jury as depositions are presented to the jury and shall not go out with the jury as documentary evidence."
Because all of Defendant's submissions fail to meet the requirements of O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, this Court should not allow the introduction of these narratives at trial. In support thereof, Plaintiff respectfully shows this Court as follows:
In its August 17, 2011 Order, this Court has already disallowed all the documents included in Defendant's THIRD NOTICE OF INTENT TO INTRODUCE MEDICAL NARRATIVES PURSUANT TO O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, dated August 15, 2011. The court correctly ruled that these documents were not admissible pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, and the Court should reject Defendant's efforts to re-introduce these same documents in a separate motion.
No document associated with Defendant's NOTICE OF INTENT TO INTRODUCE MEDICAL NARRATIVES PURSUANT TO O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, dated August 11, 2011, is signed. The name of each physician is simply printed. Because the documents submitted by Defendants are not signed, a fundamental requirement of law has not been met, and these documents therefore cannot be introduced pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18, as a matter of law.
All the documents submitted by Defendants include information outside the scope of O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18. Under Georgia law, a narrative must be in prose language that is understandable to a jury. In the case of Bell v. Austin, 278 Ga. 844, 607 SE 2d 569, the Georgia Supreme Court held that "the law authorizes the admission of only those reports which, rather than consisting of unexplicated medical terms and uninterpreted scientific test results, set forth the relevant information in prose language that is more readily understandable to laymen. Other medical records which would require an expert analysis to demonstrate their import are still subject to a hearsay objection." See John Crane, Inc. v. Jones, 262 Ga. App. 531, 535 (2) (586 SE2d 26) (2003).
Because all the documents, particularly the MRI diagnostic documents submitted by Defendant, contain "unexplicated medical terms" and are not in a prose style that is understandable to a layman, none are admissible and should be excluded. The information in each of these reports was interpreted by a medical doctor for another medical doctor and requires a medical background to understand. It would be unfair to allow the attorney for Defendant to interpret the language inappropriately and argue this flawed interpretation to the jury.
All submitted medical records are also insufficient and improper pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 24-3-18 to the extent they are not in "narrative form." These are simply short bullet points for interpretation by from one medical professional to another. Moreover, the radiologists who generated the MEI reports, Hugo Falcon and Garrett Ward, never examined, met, or even saw the Plaintiff.
The submitted medical records improperly attempt to introduce inappropriate and inadmissible opinion evidence, facts outside or beyond medical testimony and/or facts otherwise not in evidence or inconsistent with the evidence properly before the jury in this matter, inaccurate and inadmissible factual statements, conclusions, and/or opinions of facts and law, and inadmissible legal or factual conclusions as to ultimate issues of fact or law which improperly invade the province of the jury in this action.
The admission of such narratives would deprive Plaintiff of her right to confront the witnesses testifying against her in violation of the Georgia and United States Constitutions, as two of the medical professionals in question are not the examining or treating physicians of Plaintiff. They simply interpreted films for the Plaintiff's treating physicians, but did not clinically treat, examine or ever talk to the Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that this Court will exclude the medical documents submitted for introduction by Defendant pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 24-3-18.

The Long Call is the captivating first novel in the Two Rivers series from Sunday Times bestseller and creator of Vera and Shetland, Ann Cleeves.
In North Devon, where the rivers Taw and Torridge converge and run into the sea, Detective Matthew Venn stands outside the church as his father's funeral takes place. The day Matthew turned his back on the strict evangelical community in which he grew up, he lost his family too.
Now he's back, not just to mourn his father at a distance, but to take charge of his first major case in the Two Rivers region; a complex place not quite as idyllic as tourists suppose.
A body has been found on the beach near to Matthew's new home: a man with the tattoo of an albatross on his neck, stabbed to death.
Finding the killer is Venn's only focus, and his team's investigation will take him straight back into the community he left behind, and the deadly secrets that lurk there.

As someone who grew up and went to Uni in Texas, there was a culture of politeness everywhere – from family life, communities, social life and business. Politeness in business is more akin to some wild animals angling for the next kill. A genuine attitude is read by others and a habit of good behaviour helps breed the culture needed for an organisation.
One of the easiest forms of politeness is the drilled into many at a young age. Believe it or not, saying "thank you" to those around you is a form of currency. Not only does gratitude go the distance, it also helps pay the bills. A decade long study by Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton of 200,000 managers and employees actually tied the "thank you's" to bigger profits.
A culture a gratitude toward staff and colleagues was the focus of the study and they show in their research that organisations that show genuine thankfulness towards staff tend to be more profitable. Whether it is a quite "pat on the back", token award for best service during the week or recognition in front of peers, it is important that the thank you be heart-felt.
How do you instil a culture of gratitude?
I believe it starts with being grateful to everyone – your family, your neighbours, your cleaner, your barista, your support staff, your customers, etc. Show appreciation to the gatekeepers (personal assistants) who answer your phone, take messages, organise your life and tidy things up. Give gifts to your clients, especially if you stuffed up. Tip your barista and tell the person that brings you lunch to buy things for themselves (on your tab). Give gifts to your staff that outperform others or for thinking outside the box. Give sweets, chocolate or a display of fruit to your best clients. Thank your wife/husband for being patient.
If you are finding it hard to do this naturally or if you are looking for ways to propagate the culture like a healthy infection, start with building routines and habits. Make them mandatory. My brother worked as a barista in Nashville and was given training. He must say "hello" and "smile" to a person within first 15 seconds of walking in the door. If he knew their regular order, he would make it before they ask. My mom used to give all of her salespeople gifts for anything including making the first sale, handling a difficult situation, or making progress on a target. It starts with routines to make something into a habit. Making it genuine is the hard part for some, but if you can do that, you are on your way to reaping profits!
Although it is often said that the Board of Directors sets the culture of the organisation, it is managers that implement and cultivate a culture of gratitude.

Mumbai : Policenama Online – Two Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopters and six boats of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have left for Vangani on Saturday to rescue around 1,500 passengers stranded in the Mahalaxmi Express train after a torrential downpour continued in Mumbai and surroundings for the third consecutive day, officials said.
#UPDATE Mahalaxmi Express rescue operation: According to CPRO, Central Railway, 700 passengers are on-board the train. NDRF team and Navy chopper are conducting rescue operation. pic.twitter.com/SoOzBbcfWV
— ANI (@ANI) July 27, 2019
Hundreds of panicky, starving and thirsty passengers on the Mumbai-Kolhapur train were seen making appeals for help on mobile videos and social media.
They said they had no drinking water or food since nearly 15 hours and no escape route as the train was practically cut off with five-six feet water on all sides.
Guardian Minister for Thane Eknath Gaikwad said two helicopters will help the rescue operation along with six teams of the NDRF on the ground from Mumbai, Thane and Pune which are rushing there with inflatable rubber boats shortly.
The towns of Badlapur, Ulhasnagar, Vangani were practically underwater since early Saturday as heavy rain lashed the region, flooding local rivers and other water bodies.
The Central Railway (CR) earlier in the day warned the Mahalaxmi Express passengers against stepping out of the trains in view of the dangerous water levels outside and requested them to wait for help which is on the way.
The CR added that a relief train has been stationed at Badlapur to ferry the passengers, along with food, water and medical supplies, besides making arrangements to take the passengers onward to Kolhapur.
Though the suburban trains in Mumbai functioned with delays of 15-20 minutes on Western Railway and CR, the latter had to cancel services between Karjat-Kalyan (in Thane) owing to floods and waterlogging on the tracks since Friday.
In Mumbai, Minister of Education Ashish Shelar authorized school and college principals to declare a holiday to ensure students are not inconvenienced if heavy rain continued.

New Study Claims That Women Are Better Drivers Than Men
According to this study, women are better and safer drivers than men.
Could the jokes about women's driving abilities be coming to an end? This study revealed women to be better and safer drivers than men. The study was conducted by the insurance comparison website Confused.com and analyzed drivers in the UK.
The research found that 539,000 individuals were convicted for breaking the law while driving in England or Wales in 2018. Out of them, 79% were men, outnumbering females by nearly 4:1.
The study also found that men are more likely to commit the most common motoring offenses, with a quarter of offenses being recorded due to men speeding. Men were also found to be five times more likely to be convicted for drink-driving, and twice as likely to be found at fault when making an insurance claim.
As expected, bad drivers are unaware of their poor driving skills, not even when the proof is staring them in the face.
Claire Rogan, digital marketing manager at Peter Vardy, has expressed concern over the gap between a driver's records and their assessment of their competency on the road.
"Taking proper due care and attention when behind the wheel should always be at the forefront of our minds when in control of a car, so it is surprising to see our research indicate that over half of British drivers have been penalized for driving offenses.
Whether you have just passed your test, or have been driving for years, it is important to not allow your own perception of your driving skill to cloud your judgment."
1.6 million people across England and Wales took their driving test in 2018, and out of these, 55% failed, with 31% being women and 24% men. Furthermore, out of the 45% who passed, 22% were women while 23% were men.

A National Leader of Afenifere, Sen. Ayo Fasanmi, has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja.
Chief Abiodun Akin-Fasae, Afenifere Publicity Secretary in Ekiti, who spoke on behalf of Fasanmi, said on Wednesday that the president's victory was a good development for Nigerians and democracy.
Recall that the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had approached the tribunal seeking the nullification of the victory of Buhari in the Feb. 23 poll.
But delivering judgment on the matter, Justice Mohammed Garuba dismissed all the grounds of the petition.
Fasanmi paid tributes to the judiciary "for painstakingly going through the details of the petition without bothering whose ox was gored."
He advised all stakeholders to come together and work for the progress of the country, saying "there is opportunity for everyone at all times to contribute to its development."
In his own reaction, the Chairman of the Buhari Campaign Organisation in the 2019 general elections, Dr Olusegun Osinkolu, urged Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to accept the judgment in good faith and not heighten tension in the country.
Former Deputy Speaker of Ekiti House of Assembly, Chief Taiwo Olatunbosun, hailed the judgment, saying the outcome would enable the president serve the nation more than ever before.
Also commenting, the Senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District, Opeyemi Bamidele, commended the judiciary over the judgment, stressing that it would end all distractions and allow the president to focus on governance.
Bamidele, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, said the comprehensive nature of the judgment had shown that there was hope in the nation's judiciary.
A lawyer, Foluso Olawale, however, disagreed with an aspect of the judgment which declared Buhari as not only qualified but " eminently" qualified academically to contest the election.
He also objected to the pronouncement of the tribunal to the effect that there was no provision for electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Act and electoral guidelines.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:45 A.M.) – The Ahrar al-Sham Islamist group published a statement three days ago (see below) saying that its council had appointed Hassan Soufan (also known as Abu al-Bara') as the new leader of the militia. Hassan Soufan will be replacing Ali Omar (also known as Abu Ammar) in the role of leader of Ahrar al-Sham.
Hassan Soufan originates from Latakia Governorate and up until last year he was serving out a very long sentence in Sidnaiyah prison for anti-government activities. He was released after fifteen years in late-December 2016 as part of a prisoner swap deal between the Syrian government and various Idlib-based rebel groups.
Soufan inherits the leadership role for Ahrar al-Sham during a time of considerable hardship for the Syrian Islamist militia, with it having been subject to considerable political and military marginalization in Idlib (one of its main strongholds) at the hands of the Ha'yat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) jihadist group.

Worth Osgood
Click here to view my Sold Listings
Worth Osgood is a proud Virginian who is intimately familiar with Old Dominion. Born and raised in Richmond, Worth grew up traveling around the state hunting and playing baseball. He began hunting at age nine and was immediately hooked the first time he set foot in a duck blind. Duck hunting is Worth's greatest passion and he travels across the country each year in search for where the migration leads the birds. Worth and his trusty dog, Major, are rarely separated from one another going practically everywhere together: Major especially enjoys trips to the hardware store. The two travel around the state attending AKC Hunt Tests in the duck hunting offseason, where Major became a Junior Champion at 10 months old; they are now working on achieving Major's Senior Title. Outside of duck hunting and dog training, Worth loves to get out on the water and fish. Whether fishing for cobia in the Chesapeake Bay along the Northern Neck, or out on the open ocean in search of big tuna and trophy billfish, Worth is always down to go fishing. Worth followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather attending Hampden-Sydney College where he was an active member of the Sigma Nu fraternity and the Hampden-Sydney Ducks Unlimited Club. In January of 2015, Worth received a Citation for Bravery and Courage from the college's Board of Trustees for his actions in rescuing a truck driver from a major collision on Interstate 95. He went on to graduate in May of 2016 with degrees in Economics and History. Immediately following graduation, Worth moved to Virginia Beach and began working for the Real Estate Investment Trust Armada Hoffler, where he was an asset manager; he spent his first year out of college managing operations for commercial developments throughout Virginia and Maryland. In August 2017, Worth made the change from corporate real estate to land brokerage, and fulfilled his dream of working in the outdoor industry. Worth has fully immersed himself in Mossy Oak Properties and shows up every day with a smile on his face. If you ask him, he'd say he doesn't work, but rather he gets to do what he loves every day. Worth's energy and love for the outdoors makes him an enjoyable agent to work with; he believes that we should leave land in better condition than we found it. You will see his commitment and passion for the great outdoors from the moment you meet him and he will give you that same level of commitment when listing your property or helping you buy one. Pick up the phone and give him a call, you'll sure be glad you did.

|Heritage Court, Indio, CA
IRVINE, CA – Faris Lee Investments, the nation's largest retail-specialized investment advisory firm, has completed the $4.75 million sale of a 41,438-square-foot portion of Heritage Court, a lender-owned retail center.
Built in 2006, the property is situated on 10.18 acres of land and is located at 44100 Jefferson Street in Indio, Calif. The center was 54 percent occupied at the close of escrow and includes Subway, Anytime Fitness, and It's a Grind.
|Dennis Vaccaro
Dennis Vaccaro and Shaun Riley, senior managing directors with Faris Lee Investments, represented the seller, Sabal Financial as well as the buyer CADO Heritage LLC from Carlsbad.
"This distressed property offered the buyer a strong upside potential in lease-up of the currently vacant shops. It also offered a value-add opportunity through potential future development of two existing unimproved pad sites on the property. Future build-out of those pads could eventually more than double the size of the existing property," said Vaccaro.
|Shaun Riley
Vaccaro added that Walgreens, which was not a part of the transaction, is the anchor tenant within Heritage Court offering a strong customer draw and cross over customers for the other retailers within the center.
"The asset definitely had its challenges. The shopping centers in the area have been significantly affected over the past several years by high vacancies, rent concessions, and decreasing lease rates.
" Showing prospective investors that the fundamentals in the local market are starting to improve was instrumental in generating the kind of offer activity we had," said Riley.
"Ten offers were generated through a Best & Final bidding process with CADO Heritage LLC winning the deal and closing within a year-end, 10 day escrow period."

A welcome partnership between a ccTLD registry and a national industrial property office
Afnic (the registry in charge of French ccTLDs, afnic.fr) and the French National Institute of Industrial Property (inpi.fr) have announced a partnership with the view of raising awareness of trademark and domain name owners as to the need to proceed, systematically and concomitantly, with trademarks and domain name registrations. This awareness campaign will, at least initially, take the form of training events co-organized by both institutions.
This essential link between Afnic and INPI, IP Twins has been calling for it since its creation in 2001. For IP Twins, trademarks and domain names are indissociable, so much so that their acquisition should be automated as much as possible: at the filing of a trademark containing a verbal element could be associated the proposal to register one or more corresponding domain names, under one or more ccTLDs. Similarly, the registration of a trademark could be associated, not to the proposal to file a trademark (which seems illusory given the conditions of validity of a trademark), but at least a reminder of the multiple interests owning a trademark right.
The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) is considering the adoption of an additional period of time between the filing of a trademark and its publication online in order to allow time for the applicant to register the domain name(s) corresponding to the trademark, and thus reduce the risk of cybersquatting. This is a concrete step that should inspire ccTLDs registries and industrial property offices.

« Oh My Dear Sweet Lord: Democrats, Including Black Democrats, Rethinking Support For The Party Due To Obama's Failures? | Main | The Things I Miss When Writing About Race »
August 13, 2010
Why I Always Get On People's Asses About the Race Issue
Since this argument has begun again, let me explain, and hopefully, attempt to persuade.
First of all, there is the issue of people's personal sensitivities to the issue of race. I have some of this. Many readers do. Many voters do, including white swing voters. (More on that later.)
There is rarely overt racism per se on the blog. I try to avoid the word "racist" because it doesn't really apply. However, there is often what certainly sounds like an emotional-level animus directed at some groups. Now, that may not be racism at all. It may just be grousing. But you have to admit -- it does at least sort of sound like the tone of someone with a racial axe to grind.
This is what I mean by multiple comments in a row, each of which might have been okay on its own, becoming, in the whole, rather ugly, in that a series of comments each express some low-level hostility at blacks (or whatever) but taken altogether they seem to paint a picture of rather higher-level hostility.
It sounds, in short, that you're pissed off at black people. Not this black person or that one. But black people, generally, or at least most, with some prominent exceptions. And that's not racist per se, but, let's face it: You're not going to be winning a BET Spirit Award anytime soon, either.
It's not that frustrations like this can't be expressed -- I say this a lot: Racial politics is a part of politics, for good or for ill, and whites have something to say about racial politics too, and must be allowed to say so without being called a racist. Whites don't like racial set-asides and "plus factors" (minus factors for whites) for one thing. Nor socialist, economy destroying redistribution of wealth which seems undertaken 99% for purposes of "racial justice."
But certainly when we get into sensitive areas, delicate areas, we can try to be careful about wording and tone, so it doesn't lend itself to sounding like simple emotional resentment and anger. When I touch on these areas I do try to do that myself-- I adopt a clinical tone, and try to drain all passion out. Because passion in these areas is usually anger and frustration.
And I mean for me-- I am not without racial baggage or racial resentment myself. I get very bothered by things like, well, if there are a bunch of black teenagers on a subway car, I'm probably, 30% chance, in for a loud and misbehaved sort of ride, and 10% chance, in for some territorial fuck-with-the-white-people shit.
That has an emotional effect, which I try to fight, and try not to just vent that kind of emotion. Discussing it in clinical terms? Yeah, fine: Something needs to be said about the territorial payback instincts that a lot of black teenagers are being indoctrinated with.
But if I just vented about a particular experience, it would sound pretty ugly. So I try not to.
A lot of people are bothered by what they perceive -- maybe it's not intended; but it's so perceived -- at an ugly tone that creeps into the comments on posts on racial matters.
I get complaints. Further, it's not just me getting complaints; I am often bothered by a negative tone on racial matters.
Some people will dismiss this with a hand-wave as "political correctness." It may or may not be. It may just be political correctness, due to a childhood of relentless race-harmony messaging from the media and schools, which I internalized.
However, whatever it is, it exists. It's real. It may have been counterfeit or artificial in its inception but it's now a part of me. And it's part of many readers.
It also might not be counterfeit at all. I don't believe in political correctness per se, but I do believe in what I would call "racial politeness." I believe that it's generally a Good Thing, a Civic Good, to treat people as individuals and to refrain from unnecessarily branding groups with negative terms. I think that inflames people, bothers them.
I know that I -- and most of you -- don't like the idea that whites are, in some respects, treated almost as an official second-class citizen group by the government. With "racial plus factors" -- for whites, read "racial minus factors" -- and such. And not just in tangible ways, but in the general sort of suspicion and hostility directed at normal tax-paying law-abiding whites by the media and government class. We are treated as some distasteful group, full of bad feeling and bad intent, and it rankles. We don't like it. Hate it, in fact.
I would urge readers to consider that other racial groups have the same sensitivities when it comes to their groups being broadly criticized with a hostile tone, and that two wrongs don't make a right, and that if you're attempting to protest political correctness, there are better ways to do so than using the same weapon you don't like against others.
Not only is there a personal sensitivity here, there's a professional one. At some point this blog must end. I don't say because I want to give it up. I say that because that's life-- things end. And this blog is paying almost nothing (I'd be embarrassed to tell you) and only reader donations keep a roof off my head. (And on that -- I know my thank-yous are very late; I will send them. Let me say thank you to contributors as a group, but say I promise I will send out the individual thank-yous soon.)
So understand this: You may not think that racial politeness or political correctness is warranted, but the vast majority of the professional world does -- 99% of possible employers do -- and at some point I will have to put this blog forward as the work I have done for six, seven, ten years, and I will have to account for what is written here. Not just what I write; but what I allow to be written as well.
Also let me talk about politics. In 2000, in Bush's nomination-acceptance speech, I believe, he made a pitch to black voters. I forget the specifics -- it was something along the lines of, "Now we haven't been very welcoming of black voters... and (wry smile) black voters haven't been very welcoming of us." Laugh line.
Anyway, he made his pitch. A commentator -- Howard Finemann, I think -- noted that Bush didn't intend to get any black votes with that pitch. No, Finemann said, that pitch was about white voters who were uncomfortable with the Republican Party's media-insisted reputation for racism. He wasn't really hopeful about getting anything more than the usual 10% of the black vote (which is, I'm guessing, mostly servicemembers and army brats).
His appeal was instead to the large fraction of white voters who probably would vote Republican... if only it didn't have the reputation for racism.
By appealing to blacks, he was appealing to these whites.
Sometimes we have discussions about just how influential this site is. Some will buck me up and say it's quite influential; I often think not at all. And sometimes I think "just a little bit."
I think "just a little bit" is about right.
But the point then, is that this blog is not just about venting and catharsis and screwing around making dick jokes and posting as Pat Caddell. It is those things, of course. It wouldn't be at all without those things.
But there is a dimension of it, at least I hope there is a dimension of it, that is actually tangible, that actually can affect elections-- slightly.
My use of profanity and dick jokes isn't just a part of my personality. It is that, of course. But there was a reason for it, too, an intellectual one, a strategic one.
My idea was this: There are many attractive personalities on the right who can cultivate people who are strongly religious/rigorous in their personal moral behavior (and whose mores, I mean, in turn demand they not take delight in profanity or dick jokes).
But there were other Republicans, more like me, who were a bit... sketchy.
And furthermore, that there were people who could be Republicans, but were put off by the notion that it was all fuddy-duddy and straight-laced and no fun, but who maybe could be induced to pull the lever for the GOP if they saw there were other... sketchy characters in the party, too.
That it wasn't just a party, it was... well, a party. That we had fun. That we cut loose. That we weren't just all buttoned-up and inhibited.
We were the dirty conservatives.
That's not a big demographic, but it does exist. The fact that it is small will, unfortunately, forever limit this site's top size. But it will exist at a moderate size to serve that niche.
Now my point is: This blog is intended, among all the other things, as outreach. As an ambassador. As... well, an evangelizer.
And what frustrates me is that often comments are made without care or restraint that retard that intent of the blog, that undermine it, that defeat it.
I don't think some commenters are sufficiently respectful of other readers' sensitivities, nor of the sensitivities of less-formed, less-ideological possible Republican voters who may swing by for whatever reason, whether because they got a link from a friend in an email or overheard Rush Limbaugh mention the site.
One of the reasons I do this is to turn those people on to conservatism. And it bothers me when some commenters don't seem to be on that team, and seem, to my mind, to be turning them off.
It's easy to vent. And venting is fun. (And I should know, as I do vent. A lot.)
But 90% of the time what is easy, what one wants to do, isn't what one should do. That is life: That is what I have learned of life in my 29 years of existence. (Well, I will be 29.... and yeah, I've decided I'm 28 no matter what my Social Security card or "mathematics" has to say about it.)
90% of the time we spend justifying doing what we want to do to ourselves, we're wrong. Not just you; but me, everyone. Usually the right thing to do is the thing you're trying to rationalize to yourself you don't have to do. The thing you're arguing against in your head is the thing you probably should do.
I mention that because whenever this comes up, people start justifying/rationalizing hot racial talk as if it's a good thing, as if they're really advancing the cause, somehow, by throwing off the shackles of political correctness.
Well, are you sure of that? Or is that one of those cases, those 90% cases, where you're justifying the thing you want to do over the thing that's a little harder to do and which you have the sneaking suspicion might be the right thing to do?
And I say that because 99% of these comments I find objectionable or a little overly hostile could be perfectly, inarguably sensible and unobjectionable... if only there had been a little more care in their presentation and a little more consideration of tone and sensitivities.
And if that's the case -- if you can express pretty much any thought you like as long as it's done in a cooler, more careful way, without alarming anyone -- shouldn't that be the way it's done?
This ties into my greater point about the usefulness of anger in politics. It's a double edged sword -- anger is the most powerful force in politics. Anger wins elections. If we win big in November, it will be primarily because of anger.
As I've said: Intellect steers, but emotion drives.
But the flip side of that is that anger often looks ugly to people who aren't quite as angry as you. An angry person is generally unattractive and unappealing in his angry moment. Some find him attractive and appealing -- those who are angered themselves and feeling the fire too -- but for those we're trying to get into a Remember November mood, but who aren't quite there yet it's a turn off.
It is. Anger may be an energy, as John Lydon said, but anger is not an argument.
So this is why I get so pissy, so often, over this issue. I have good reasons for it -- you may not agree with these reasons, but they are, I hope you will concede, at least good reasons, even if you think you can muster better reasons against them.
We're out here -- or at least I'm out here -- to win. Not just to vent. But to win.
And I do get a little cantankerous when I don't see people getting into School Spirit with me.
Especially now, 79 days out from the election. I think most of you noticed -- last week the switch turned in my head that we are now in Full Campaign Mode. We're in just do it mode. We're in do or die mode. We're in taking care of business mode.
Or at least I am. I am now in full campaign fervor and ready to chew broken glass to get this thing done.
I hope you'l join me. We've got one shot at this. All right, we have two. There's another one in 2012. But how we fare in 2012 is directly related to how we do in 79 days.
So I implore you, fellow Dirty Conservatives:
Let's knock their dicks in the dirt, and let's remember we are all evangelists and all ambassadors.
And if that's too high a price to pay for turning out the socialist horde -- then I really don't think you are as anti-socialist as I am.
So far today, your readers are: - angry - resentful - have higher-level hostility - pissed off at black people
I responded:
Yes, you did: Many are at fucking work and attempting to read the site on a fucking computer owned by a fucking corporation which could get them into fucking big trouble if they're seen reading a site which appears to have a racial animus.

Displaying items by tag: Isle of Man
RNLI fishing safety manager Frankie Horne has urged the fishing community to avail of safety training that is on offer for their crews and to ensure that their safety equipment is up to date.
It comes after the skipper of a fishing vessel that sank late last year off the Isle of Man has attributed their rescue to the safety training the crew had undertaken previously and to their lifejackets, which were fitted with personal locator beacons (PLBs).
On the evening of 23 November last year, the fishing vessel Polaris suffered a catastrophic hull failure in the Irish Sea off the west coast of the Isle of Man.
The vessel sank so rapidly that the skipper only had time to send out a Mayday to the coastguard and other surrounding fishing boats before the vessel became submerged.
The coastguard immediately launched two RNLI lifeboats, from Port St Mary and Port Erin, and a rescue helicopter. However, it was a local fishing vessel, Lynn Marie, which arrived first on scene.
The skipper and a crew member from Polaris had been in the water for at least 15-20 minutes before help arrived.
The skipper of the Lynn Marie feared the worst on arriving at the scene as the Polaris had already gone below the water. The skipper stopped his engine to listen for the crew of the Polaris, which proved a wise decision as he heard two men in the water shouting. The Lynn Marie crew located them with a search light and recovered them from the water.
'I can tell you that there is no doubt that the lifejackets saved our lives'
Commenting on the rescue, Horne said: "After speaking with Gordon Mills, the skipper of the Polaris, and the crew of Lynn Marie on their arrival at Peel, it was quite clear that this could have been a very different story had the crew of both vessels not acted so professionally.
"The crew had attended safety training and wore lifejackets fitted with personal locator beacons which had increased their chances of survival."
Gordon Mills, skipper of Polaris, added: "At no time did I feel our lives were in danger due to our training and equipment.
"We had a policy of wearing lifejackets on the working deck since attending refresher training, where I was shown a film involving fishermen wearing their normal working clothes, being put through their paces in the RNLI Survival Centre Environmental Pool, both with and without lifejackets in cold water with wave movement whilst attempting to recover themselves."
Mills added: "To see fishermen struggling in a controlled environment and only lasting a few minutes or in some cases a few seconds without the lifejacket makes you think about your own safety.
"I can tell you that there is no doubt that the lifejackets saved our lives. We wouldn't have even been afloat for the crew of fishing vessel Lynn Marie to recover us from the water had we not been wearing them.
"I would encourage all fishermen to start wearing their lifejackets while on deck — you just never know when you might need it."
Manx government funding has been approved for a £38m passenger ferry terminal in Liverpool despite costs spiralling by more than a fifth.
The project according to BBC News, which received planning permission in April, will cost £6.5m more than originally estimated.
The need for "additional structural and construction work" on the site and the quay walls have been blamed for putting up costs.
Tynwald members approved the investment despite a bid to adjourn the debate.
Kate Beecroft MHK had called for "more time" to consider detailed information about the development, which had been given to politicians.
But Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer said a delay in granting funding could leave the island's ferries unable to sail to Liverpool during the 2021 season.

Excursionists Enjoy Round Isle of Man Cruise
Around 300 passengers enjoyed spectacular views of the Isle of Man's coastline on this year's Ben-my-Chree round-the-island cruise which was held last Saturday following Midsummer's day.
The ropax which the IOM Steam-Packet operates on the route to Heysham, England, departed Douglas at 19:00hrs on the special cruise which first went across the bay towards Onchan Head, swinging back around and continuing south. From there the cruise which included a meal as part of the fare offered further stunning views of Port Erin Bay followed by Peel and its castle.
The fine evening meant that the crew were able to open up Deck 5 to allow passengers to get a great look at the coastline from the vehicle deck. There was also a refurbished motorised horse tram on the deck which made a great vantage point and photo opportunity.
It was an enjoyable evening for all with stunning coastal views, delicious food and musical entertainment from Douglas Town Band's oompah act, Baron Otto's Blaskapelle, who performed several sets in the ship's bar throughout the cruise.
Departing Dublin Port last night was a small cruiseship when compared to the giants of the industry yet this caller is one of the most prolific visitors and on the Irish Sea this season, writes Jehan Ashmore.
The diminutive Corinthian of just 4,077 gross tonnage and a capacity of 110 guests had arrived from Douglas, Isle of Man from where the Maltese flagged vessel last month was among a quartet that formed a 'Week of Maidens' calls throughout Manx waters.
Prior to the Isle of Man, Corinthian called to Belfast Harbour as a regular and likewise in Dublin the Valletta registered ship has berthed on several occasions this season in the 'Docklands' quarter. This waterfront area once dominated by warehouses and cranes is now occupied by finance houses and appartments lining the Liffey quays between the city-centre and the Tom Clarke (East-Link) bridge.
With an overall draft of just 4m and 88m in length Corinthian easily made a transit of the bascule bridge and took a specific berth upriver along Sir John Rogersons Quay. Along this stretch is a legacy of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority which designated a south quay berth to encourage shipping activity to the quarter.
Instead of routine tea-time departures as typical of the majority of callers, Corinthian had spent a lenghtly stay. The Italian built ship launched for Renaissance Cruises and operated by subsequent owners until acquired by GCL in 2014 departed Dublin Port last night at 23.00hrs and made an overnight passage to Fishguard, Wales.
The port in Pembrokeshire operated by Stena Line Ports this year is scheduled for 33 callers, the majority of those will be carried out by Corinthian totalling 11 visits this season. Among these cruiseships so far to visit this scenic setting on the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was Variety Voyager a vessel more akin to a private superyacht.
Corinthian is scheduled to return to Dublin next week on Tuesday, July 2nd.
A trio of cruiseships recently visited the Isle of Man and notably all of the vessels were making an inaugural call to the Irish Sea island.
According to CruiseEurope the visiting cruise callers were welcomed by Cruise Isle of Man in what they are calling a Week of Maidens, which began on May 22.
Rob Callister MHK, political member with responsibility for Visit Isle of Man and motorsport, commented: "Receiving three inaugural calls [Hapag-Lloyd's Hanseatic Nature (see also Dublin) Overseas Adventure Travel's Corinthian and Vantage Cruises' Variety Voyager] in one week is extremely rare and a fantastic result for our cruise consultants, Neptumar. It is wonderful to see a range of regular and new cruiselines visiting the island and taking advantage of all we have to offer.
"The work the team has been doing in promoting not only the Isle of Man but also our Manx produce is extremely beneficial to the Island's economy as we continue to increase the value of cruise visitors. The recent Cruise Welcome Scheme has been well received with fifteen businesses on board in just three weeks, promoting incentives and offers to cruise passengers.
'We are delighted to see cruiseships visiting the ports of Douglas, Peel and Port Erin in 2019 and welcome the benefits this brings to all areas of the Island as we look to diversify the number of sites visited by cruise passengers and crew."
Vantage Cruises first contacted the Isle of Man cruise team in 2018 and have booked 10 calls for Variety Voyager during 2019 and have already booked their new ship, Ocean Explorer, for three calls in 2021.
Passengers will enjoy guided tours, bespoke and artisan activities, heritage sites and world-renowned vintage transport, with the Corinthian using Isle of Man Railways' Dining Car on all 10 of her visits this year.
Fast Craft On Isle of Man Routes Returns to Service
#ferries - Fast craft sailings of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's catamaran resumed daily sailings (yesterday) to Liverpool for the summer.
As BBC News writes the catamaran Manannan will also begin routes to Belfast and Dublin in April.
"We are excited to welcome passengers on board, both island residents heading off on holiday and visitors coming to explore our island," said the company's chief executive Mark Woodward.
#ferries - Ferry fares at cheaper rates could, reports BBC News, be introduced if a new sea services agreement is approved, the Manx government said.
A new 25-year deal between the government and the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (IOMSPCo) would replace the current user agreement.
The terms of the deal would see foot passenger fares frozen until 2021, more special offer fares introduced, and higher winter weekend fares scrapped.
Children under 16 and full-time students would travel for half-price.
A spokesperson for the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) said the changes to fares would include "foot passenger fares being frozen until a new vessel replaces the Ben-my-Chree, and 450,000 special offer fares being made available each year, compared to 275,000 under the current deal".
"In addition, children under 16 and students in full-time education will be able to travel at half-price adult fare, while higher weekend prices will not apply between 1 October and 31 March, saving up to £50 on a car-plus-two booking," he added.

Isle of Man's Fastferry Manannan Medical Emergency
#FerryNews - Isle of Man Steam Packet's fastferry Manannan has been forced to turn around midway into a sailing to Liverpool (yesterday) morning.
A passenger reports Manx Radio took ill on board around half an hour into the crossing, requiring urgent medical attention.
The ferry returned to Douglas shortly before 9.30am, and set out to Liverpool again after the passenger was removed.
Day trip passengers and those who have had travel plans disrupted were offered the chance to disembark.
Irish Ferry Passengers 'Abandoned' to Isle of Man
#FerryNews - Passenger ferry numbers reports Manx Radio for Irish routes to and from the Isle of Man don't justify the cost of laying the services on.
That's the conclusion of the outgoing chair of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company.
Robert Quayle made the comments while discussing the future of Manx ferry services in the wake of government's purchase of the company.
Speaking on yesterday's Sunday Opinion, Mr Quayle rebutted the accusation that the Steam Packet had abandoned Ireland.

#FerryNews - Passengers totalling 34,000 according to Isle of Man.com travelled by sea over the TT fortnight.
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company says final figures for this year are 'on a par' with 2017.
13,236 motorbikes were also transported between May 23rd and June 8th.
The Ben-my-Chree and Manannan worked around the clock to transport passengers whilst MV Arrow covered freight services.
The Steam Packet says more than 11,000 passengers travelled from Heysham with over 12,500 travelling from Liverpool.

3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;

8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
9 And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
