Leaper, 43, discovered the bottle while sailing the vessel Copious along Scotland’s northern coast. According to reports, the bottle was set adrift in June of 1914 by Captain CH Brown from the Glasgow School of Navigation. In 1914, nearly 1900 bottles were released as part of research project that tracked current activity in Scotland. Scottish officials say that 315 of these bottles have been found so far.Additional information can be found at http://www.oddee.com/item_98565.aspx.

A new Guinness World Record was set when Leaper recovered the message in a bottle. Coincidentally, the last record was held in 2006 by a friend of Leaper’s whose name is Mark Anderson. In addition, Anderson used the same Shetland based vessel as Leaper when he found a message in a bottle over five years ago.

Leaper was quite elated to have found the bottle and was equally amazed that it was found by the same boat. Leaper donated the bottle and his Guinness World Records certificate to the Fetlar Interpretative Center in Shetland, which is a locally operated museum.

Soon, Andrew Leaper’s message in a bottle will be on display.

The film was a compilation of a massive archive of photographs and film that Knowles had compiled. The archive spans her entire career. It is protected and maintained in a digital storage room located in her offices. The project started to take shape in 2005. It was that year that Knowles decided to have her life filmed, so she hired a visual director.

Prior to the release of the film, Knowles had a reputation of being extremely guarded about her personal life. However, the film shattered those barriers, allowing viewers to experience the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy, her miscarriage and her marriage to Jay-Z. The film also covers her painful decision to end her professional relationship with her manager Matthew Knowles, who is also her father.

The Ziegfeld Theatre in New York was the site for the premiere of the film on February 12, 2013. Knowles agreed to do a special interview on Oprah Winfey’s show Oprah’s Next Chapter as a way of promoting the film. The interview covered her recent halftime show at the Super Bowl, as well as the making of the film and its contents.

The film attracted 1.8 million viewers during its debut broadcast. HBO is available for customers to enjoy at home with http://www.direct2tv.com/directv-deals.html. This was the biggest amount of viewers for a documentary broadcast on HBO since 2004, when Nielsen decided to revise the way they measure viewership. The interview with Oprah Winfrey was watched by 1.3 million people.

Subsequent broadcasts of the film have also attracted sizable amounts of viewers. This has made HBO interested in doing a sequel documentary at some point in the future, after Knowles has compiled enough footage to make such a project possible.

In June, 2012, Robin was diagnosed with a rare blood disease known as MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes), formerly known as pre-leukemia. MDS damages critical, normal bone marrow functions. Bone marrow is the spongy matter, inside all bones, where every blood cell is made.

Robin sent this internet message to her loyal fans: “Dear ones, this is my final morn @GMA for a while.I found some more information here. Heading home after the show to be w/ my ailing mom in MS. You’ll be in my heart & soul.”

What a series of difficult events Robin has faced, and will continue to face, as she searches for real life anchors to save her own life, now. While this week Robin will be saying her final “good-bye” to her beloved Mother, next week she will begin final preparations for her bone marrow transplant. Robin’s sister, Sally-Ann, will be her bone marrow donor. Prior to Robin’s MDS diagnosis, she also fought breast cancer in 2007.

1. Fostering Increased Use of Domestic Energy

Increased Use of Domestic Energy
Romney understands that 85% of the world’s energy comes from the hydrocarbons oil, coal, and natural gas. The United States has enough of an untapped supply of hydrocarbons to become energy independent and that is the President’s goal. By allowing domestic energy production to increase will create a job boom. What many people do not realize is that the hydrocarbon energy sector has produced 150,000 patents which are 2.5X the number of patents in alternative energies. If the United States begins to tap into its unexplored reserves of hydrocarbon energies a new demand for private sector technology will increase to supply the means of obtaining that energy. The ripple effect of this alone cannot be underestimated. Currently, the United States funnels hundreds of billions of dollars overseas to purchase foreign energy. As the United States becomes more energy independent that money will stay in the country and get put to use building up our economy.

The Academny Award winning actor opened his speech by thanking the guests, who loudly applaused and yelled, and then telling them to “Save a little for Mitt.” He then began his speech pretending to talk to a seated President Obama.The whole story can be found at http://guardianlv.com/2012/09/eastwood-not-senile-he-knew-the-chair-was-empty/ Through his speech he interwines a number of negatives and failures the president has presented the Americans. His theme was that the current president failed to deliver on his promises.

The actor did not receive the rave reviews he received from performing in a number of his movies. Some critics said that the empty chair act was one of the weirdest convention moments of all time. Eastwood was to speak for five minutes; however, it ended up being 12 minutes. Film critic Roger Ebert twitted, “Clint, my hero, is coming across as sad and pathetic.”

The Romney campaign must be asking if Eastwood did, indeed, “Go ahead, make my day.”
