Information on Fishing in Bahrain

I want to do this! What's This?

Located in the Persian Gulf, The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 islands. The largest island is Bahrain, which translates as "two seas." Bahrain comprises 83 percent of the country's total land mass.

Approximately 8 million tourists each year visit Bahrain. Many of them come from other Arab countries, though the number of tourists from beyond the region is increasing. Bahrain offers visitors a rich history, relaxing beaches and opportunities for fishing and diving.

Marine Environment

1. The water surrounding Bahrain is shallow. Many land reclamation projects are underway. Coral reefs lie close to the island, many along the eastern and northern sides of the island. Over 300 species can be found in Bahrain's waters. Some types of tropical fish include angel fish, parrot fish, barracuda, grouper and clown fish. In the spring, sting rays can be seen sunning themselves on the sand banks.

Commerical Fishing

2. Oil drives Bahrain's economy, but fishing remains an important industry in Bahrain. Fish is both exported and used for domestic consumption, including shrimp, finfish, crabs, lobster, rabbit fish and cuttlefish. The most important fishery in Bahrain is the shrimp fishery.

Recreational Fishing

3. Recreational fishing trips can be arranged through most large hotels, tour agencies, or the Bahrain Yacht Club. Though these is plentiful Spanish mackerel in the shallow waters surrounding Bahrain, the fish population of the inner reefs has been substantially lowered due to overfishing. For the best catch, you need to go out at least 3 to 6 miles from shore.
   
   However, you can always sit on one of the bridges that connects the islands or one of the stretches of reclaimed land that juts out from the shore and fish from there. You can purchase fishing equipment such as lures, lines and rods from the souk. The main super markets also carry a small selection of fishing equipment.

Environmental Concerns

4. Due land reclamation, industrial pollution and over-fishing, Bahrain's fishing industry is severely threatened. Fish stocks are quickly being depleted and immature fish are being caught before they have a chance to reproduce. Approximately 3 million tons of sand is taken from Bahrain's waters each year for construction purposes, harming the marine environment. The coral reefs are dying at a rapid rate.
   
   In 2009, the General Directorate for the Protection of Marine Resources (GDPMR) of Kingdom of Bahrain renewed a marine resources pact with the United Arab Emirates with the goal of protecting and conserving marine life.

Getting to Bahrain

5. Bahrain International Airport is the country's main airport as well as the hub of the international airline Gulf Air. Numerous daily flights are offered throughout the region, as well as flights to Asia, Europe and North America.
   
   The King Fahd Causeway links Saudi Arabia to Bahrain. The planned Qatar--Bahrain Friendship Bridge will link Qatar with Bahrain.

Love....

How many times have I betrayed you? There are betrayals in battle that are infinitesimal compared to my betrayals of you.
I pushed off, away, and against. What was not broken, I destroyed. What you did not care to know, I found out.
You let me. Other times you didn’t let me go easily and I would fight. Sometimes I would get so angry I wouldn’t be able to remember what I said. Then I would leave. Sometimes I wouldn’t come back.
One time, I left and got really lost, in more ways than one. I couldn’t get out of bed. I stayed there in the dark for days. Was it the third day that you opened my door and sat down on my bed? I couldn’t get the words out from inside (I’m lost).
I filled the aching void with tears instead. You cried too.
Get up, you said softly, tears running down your cheeks and wetting my hands. This isn’t you. It’s time to get up.

You didn’t open the window, and you closed the door when you left a minute later.
I lay there, in the darkness. All my darkness.

I was lost, too close to that precipice.

I came upstairs a few hours later, still lost. I think you knew that.

That day you came down into my room, I realized that down in my room, the only one who remembered me was you. That was the year I didn’t know my own reflection in a mirror. That was the year only you found what I had lost.

I remember the day the fog lifted. I was back. I was also almost eight thousand miles away, living in an ancient English castle. I had fled there to find myself, and when I did I realized you’d never once lost me. You were just waiting until I found what you’d known all along. Thank you for waiting, for guarding, for keeping.

I quit running to the unknown after that day. The problem with running towards the void is that it’s incredibly likely you’ll get consumed by all of the uncertainty of the unknown.
I realize that now.

It’s your birthday today. I sat down intending to write something that could somehow express just how much I love you. Instead, I ended up overwhelmed by just how much you love me.

This is the first part of what I know.
Love is a species of flame.

And although all the rest of what I do not know cries out to me (and I must go and know it) I need you to understand—you are my North star. My touchstone. The origin from which I run.

Ultimately, I am always journeying back to you.

What is the world UP TO ????

What is the world UP TO ???? 

Lovers of the English language might enjoy this. It is yet another example of why people learning English have trouble with the language.  Learning the nuances of English makes it a difficult language. (But then, that's probably true of many languages.)   
 
There is a two-letter word in English that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.'  
It is listed in the dictionary as being used as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v]. 
 
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends and we use ! it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.

At other times the little word has a real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. 
 
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. 
 
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is choked  UP. 
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.We seem to be pretty mixed UPabout UP !  
 
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes  UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add  UP to about thirty definitions  
 
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. 

It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. 
 
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP.
 
One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now........ my time is UP, so time to shut UP!  
 
Oh...one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?
U    P 
 
Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book.  
 
Now, I'll shut UP.

Debris in relief well sets back work on gusher

Tropical Storm Bonnie left crews working to plug the Gulf oil gusher a little memento that is expected to push their work back about a day.Crews found debris in the bottom of the relief well that ultimately will be used to plug the leak for good, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Friday. The government's point man on the spill said the sediment settled in the relief well last week when crews popped in a plug to keep it safe ahead of Bonnie.
"It's not a huge problem," Allen said, but removing the debris will take 24 to 36 hours and likely push a procedure known as a static kill back to Tuesday. Earlier that work had been expected to begin late Sunday or early Monday.
The static kill involves pumping mud, and possibly cement, into the blown-out well through the temporary cap that has kept it from leaking for more than two weeks. Then comes the so-called bottom kill, in which cement pumped in from below the leak using the relief well will plug the gusher for good. The better the static kill works, the less time it will take to complete the bottom kill.
The blown-out well could be killed for good by late August, though a tropical storm could set the timetable back.
After an April 20 rig explosion that killed 11 workers, BP's blown-out well gushed an estimated 94 million to 184 million gallons of oil before the temporary cap stopped it July 15.
There are signs that the era of thousands of oil-skimming boats and hazmat-suited beach crews is giving way to long-term efforts to clean up, compensate people for their losses and understand the damage wrought. Local fishermen are doubtful, however, and say oil remains a bigger problem than BP and the federal government are letting on.
Others contend the impact of the spill has been overblown, given that little oil remains on the Gulf surface. Bob Dudley, who heads BP's oil spill recovery and will take over as CEO in October, rejected those claims Friday.
"Anyone who thinks this wasn't a catastrophe must be far away from it," he said in Biloxi, Miss., where he announced that former Federal Emergency Management Agency chief James Lee Witt will be supporting BP's Gulf restoration work.
Relatively little oil remains on the surface of the Gulf, leaving less for thousands of oil skimmers to do. Dudley said it's "not too soon for a scaleback" in the cleanup, and in areas where there is no oil, "you probably don't need to see people in hazmat suits on the beach."
He added, however, that there is "no pullback" in BP's commitment to clean up the spill.
There had been fears that the massive spill could reach South Florida and the East Coast through a powerful Loop Current, but federal officials said Friday that earlier reports that some oil had reached the current were wrong.
A new analysis by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed most surface oil in the Gulf had degraded to a thin sheen. What remained on the surface and below was hundreds of miles from the Loop Current.
Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle will likely be spared any additional major beach oiling, although tar balls could wash ashore, NOAA said. Louisiana's coast was the most likely place where oil could still make landfall.
NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco cautioned that scientists will continue studying the potential effects of the subsurface crude.
"Diluted and out of sight does not mean benign," she said. "But in those concentrations there will be minimal impact to the big things that are out in the ocean, big fish, big marine mammals, birds."
She said scientists still don't know the oil's environmental effect underwater.
For help with the long-term recovery, BP has hired Witt and his public safety and crisis management consulting firm. Witt, who was FEMA director under President Bill Clinton, said he wants to set up teams along the Gulf to work with BP to address long-term restoration and people's needs.
"Our hope is that we can do it as fast as we can," Witt said. "I've seen the anguish and the pain that people have suffered after disaster events. I have seen communities come back better than before."
BP and Witt's firm refused to say how much Witt will be paid for his work.
Commercial fishermen, meanwhile, were allowed back on a section of Louisiana waters east of the Mississippi River on Friday after federal authorities said samples of finfish and shrimp taken from the areas were safe to eat.
About 70 percent of Louisiana waters are now open to some kind of commercial fishing, but state waters in Mississippi and Alabama remain closed and so do nearly a quarter of federal waters in the Gulf.
Reinforcing the state's declaration that Louisiana seafood is safe to eat was U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg. At a news conference in New Orleans, she said fish showed levels of contaminants that were "extremely low, significantly below the threshold of concern."
Hamburg stressed that testing will continue because of the large volumes of oil spilled and the large amounts of dispersants used to break it up.
Seafood industry representatives hailed the reopening, but Rusty Graybill, a boat captain from Ysckloskey, La., who fishes for crab, oysters and shrimp, said "it's a joke."
"I'm pretty sure I'll go out and I'll get oil-covered shrimp. They capped this well and now they're trying to say it's OK," he said.
Graybill, a wiry 28-year-old with a leathery tan, made a 2-inch circle with his thumb and finger. "I'm still finding tar balls this big out there, and the boom is still covered in oil," he said.
Oil rig workers are struggling along with fishermen because a federal moratorium on new deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Those workers will be getting $100 million in aid that BP said Friday it will distribute through a Louisiana charity.

5 “Bad” Foods You Should Be Eating

Recently, a friend who was eating with me appeared shocked as I spread full-fat natural peanut butter on my whole-wheat toast. Isn’t peanut butter super-fattening, she asked? It’s high in fat but that doesn’t mean it’s fattening, I told her, noting that gaining or losing weight, and body fat, basically comes down to balancing calories. Knowing my master’s work focused on weight loss, she took my word on this. (Find easy, quick and delicious 500-Calorie Dinners to help you lose.)
That said, peanut butter is a concentrated source of calories, so you don’t want to go overboard. But you don’t need to eat tons of the stuff to feel satisfied: just a tablespoon (90 calories) or two of peanut butter goes a long way. I eat peanut butter nearly every day because it tastes so good and it’s really nutritious. Peanut butter provides protein and folate, a B vitamin important for the healthy development of new cells. (See the winners of our Natural Peanut Butter Taste Test.)
As a nutritionist, I often encounter people who fear healthful foods because these foods have somehow gotten bad reps they just can’t shake. Peanut butter is a common one. Here are four more “misunderstood” foods and why you should eat them—in moderation, of course.
Eggs

The bad rep: A significant source of dietary cholesterol, egg yolks are off-limits for those concerned about heart health.
The good truth: Medical experts now emphasize that saturated fats and trans fats are bigger culprits in raising blood cholesterol than dietary cholesterol is. Plus, eggs are super-satisfying: in one study, people who ate a scrambled-egg-and-toast breakfast felt more satisfied, and ate less at lunch, than they did when they ate a bagel that had the same number of calories. Egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds that research links with reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in people over 50. (Need new ideas for eggs? Find dozens here.)
Beef

The bad rep: Beef is full of saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, so people who care about their hearts should avoid it.
The good truth: Lean cuts of beef are a low-fat source of protein and iron, a mineral essential for getting oxygen from the lungs to cells throughout the body—and one many women (of childbearing age) are deficient in. There are many lean cuts of steaks: filet mignon, sirloin, strip steak, flank steak. If you can’t remember the names, pick steaks that are deep red with a relatively small amount of marbling—a fancy name for fat—to find lean cuts. Click here for a Bistro Flank Steak Sandwich that has only 3 grams of saturated fat per serving!
Chocolate

The bad rep: Chocolate has lots of fat, lots of sugar—and it tastes amazing, so it must be bad for you.
The good news: Dark chocolate contains flavanols, antioxidants that seem to have a blood-thinning effect, which can benefit cardiovascular health. And, recently, researchers in Switzerland reported that eating dark chocolate (1.4 ounces of it) every day for two weeks reduced stress hormones, including cortisol, in highly stressed people. But be sure to account for the calories (1.4 ounces delivers 235)—or you may be stressed to see extra pounds creeping on. (Discover delicious chocolate recipes here.)
Potatoes

The bad rep: Potatoes rank high on the glycemic index, which measures how quickly different foods raise your blood sugar. Foods with a high GI value tend to cause a higher spike in blood sugar—and in insulin, the hormone that helps glucose get into cells—which can be a problem for some people, particularly those with diabetes.
The good news: Potatoes are a good source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C. And unless you’re eating an absolutely plain potato all by itself, its GI value doesn’t matter. (It’s also worth noting that the glycemic index is an imperfect and controversial scale.) A high-GI potato becomes a low-GI meal if you simply add a little olive oil, because the added fat helps slow the absorption of the potato’s carbohydrates.

THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message (perhaps that funny shape is saying, 'send all your money to urban75.com'?)

See how long you can hold a note
(Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes)
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Inhale deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can. Earn extra points for making your partner laugh or ending on an amusing note.

Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.

Use your secret mind power
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out.

Pretend you're a robot
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding 'zzzzzt' sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment.

Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good?

Rate passers by
(Amusement Potential: 10-15 minutes)
Secretly award passers by marks out of ten as you go along, offering (unsaid) expert criticism over their clothing, hairstyle and footwear choices.

Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.

Pinch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
What is pain? Why is it unpleasant? There's nothing physical about it - it's all in your mind. Plus, after pinching yourself for awhile, boredom will seem nice next to being in pain.

Try to swallow your tongue
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
There's not much to say about this one. It is possible, but really stupid.

Pretend to be a car
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity.

Make Star Trek door noises
(Amusement Potential: 1-2 minutes)
Stand by an electric door to a bank or something and make that silly "Scccccccchwop" sound heard whenever people popped on to the bridge to hang with Captain Kirk.

Look at something for awhile, shut eyes, study after image
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
Another great time waster. It takes about 30 seconds of staring to create an after image, and the image is then viewable for about the same length of time. Fun to combine this one with pushing on your eyes.

Get yourself as nauseated as possible
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can't even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the "makes boredom seem a lot better" effect (see "Hurt Yourself").

Invent a weird twitch
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Adopt a bizarre twitch (e.g. flicking your head irregularly, twitching with eye or busting out sporadic cough noises) and try it out when you go shopping.

Make a low buzzing noise
(Amusement Potential: 15-30 minutes)
Hours of fun in libraries! Keeping a totally straight face and looking nonchalant, make a low pitch humming/buzzing noise and see who reacts.

Five-Step Guide to Flirting Better

The essential problem remains - for you, flirting has to end with sex! Unfortunately, women - especially smart, beautiful and successful ones - flirt for harmless fun without expecting sex. Don't worry because evolutionary psychologists are doing that for you. Just know that flirting is man's way of engaging pleasurably with a member of the opposite sex and women flirt as a way of checking you out without compromising themselves. While men use flirting to initiate sex, you can appear like a sex starved sociopath unless you...

Maintain minimal contact: If you overdo your physically-touching bit, you'll just scare her away! Keep the physical bits zipped to pulling a chair out for her at a bistro, allowing her to go first for everything and hailing a cab. That way she can trust that you're patient and a gentleman (really?).

Read on for more...

Relax the Salman bit: You may be well endowed and have six pack abs, but there is a danger that you appear like a Salman Khan type who's careless with women. She'll think of you as a guy who flirts for sport and enjoys the thrill of a lucky wild night. May seem macho to you, but women don't always dig it.

Choose Confidence: You may be the guy who's dark and brooding in a corner because you want to appear like Ajay Devgan... all strong and silent. But this doesn't always work. Unless you're acting in a movie or a very serious play! You'll seem like a stalker who's jealous and lacking self-confidence! Enjoy the time you get to flirt and use it wisely!

Control Flirting: It's like flight control except here, you've to concentrate on a choice instead of seeming like a womanizer. Focus on the girl at hand and move on if doesn't work out. Remember, women are extremely wary of men whom they've seen talking to other women! Catch the drift?

Ease up on the Tech: You have text, e-mail and messenger and Facebook to flirt but if you're not a wordsmith (whom no one cares for in the online world) then you're a digital pirate whose trigger is pulled by the woman in question! Best practice-think about your messages before sending them! If they sound weird while you read them, they ARE weird! Edit like Shakespeare if necessary.

6 Reasons Men Have Sex (Besides the Obvious)

So there's a new book out called Why Women Have Sex, because for years no one's been able to crack that tough nut of a question and it's been bugging all of mankind. While the authors continue researching the sequel ("Why Kids Are Short") we thought it would be helpful to delve into the whole aspect of this topic that they missed, namely why men have sex.

Obviously there's one pretty big reason why men and women have sex, but surely there are other reasons for doing the deed, at least once in a while.

Headache Relief
For ages, the popular hack comedy line of "not tonight, I have a headache" was all over the place as a reason the ladyfolk were not interested in coitus. Men never said that, the reason being if we have a headache, we still want sex. Research even supports the notion that sex can cure headaches. (One of our editors even swears by a good roll in the hay as a hangover cure.)

Stress Relief
Being a dude can be stressful. We're constantly bogged down by the fear that at any moment some stray football will hit us in the nuts. Plus there's work, money, family, friends, zombie apocalypses ... all kinds of things that cause undue amounts of stress. Fortunately, sex is here to fix that as well. Regular sex flushes your system with oxytocin, which tells your whole body just to chill out.

Sleep Aid
Some nights hitting the hay just isn't easy. The neighbor's dog is barking, the bathroom faucet is leaking, you're worried about how work is affecting your progress in "Halo" .... Fortunately, every guy learned sometime in their teen years that after you get off, taking a nap totally feels like a good idea. Sex really makes you sleepy; it's like nature's way of saying, "Good job, now rest up for next time."

Cancer Prevention
According to actual research done on the topic, guys who get off more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life, and the benefits seem to be reaped from increased activity in your younger years. The research itself supports the idea of doing it yourself, as sex with a partner has the complication of potential STDs, but one has to assume that if precautions are taken, the same theory applies.

To End a Fight
By now we should all know about make-up sex. It's what happens when you're riding high on emotion and decide you need to bury the hatchet, so to speak, and simply end the argument. Sure, you may not be getting a "Star Wars"-themed bedroom set, but everyone's still happy. Expressing feelings is tough at the best of times, and whether you're wrong or you're right, sometimes it's just easier to say you're sorry by doing the deed than by, you know, actually saying it.

Focus
In an ironic twist of fate, sex distracts from many things and many things distract from sex. Nothing is more annoying than not being able to keep your mind on the task at hand simply because your pants are tenting. In cases like this, self-control is an option, but a superior option is to simply get the job done. Once you've had sex, you're relaxed, you're clearheaded, and you're ready to buckle down and do what you need to do. Kind of like a colonic for your brain.

What other unconventional reasons do you have for getting it on?
