UNDER ATTACK
A boarding team from HNMLS Rotterdam was making an approach on a suspect dhow near the coast when they came under fire from ashore and from the dhow itself. Rotterdam returned fire in accordance with Rules of Engagement, during which the dhow was seen to ignite and crew members were observed leaping into the water. One crew member of the dhow was killed in this action and 25 people were subsequently rescued from the water by Rotterdam. Commodore Ben Bekkering, the commander of the NATO Task Force, said that the Rotterdam and her boats remained under sustained fire from the shore throughout, even while attempting to rescue the crew of the stricken dhow and one of Rotterdams rigid inflatable boats was damaged.

Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don’t have film.
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.
The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
