GRACE: Truer words never spoken. That`s Natalee`s mother, who is with us tonight.

Very quickly to Jossy Mansur, the managing director and editor of "Diario" newspaper. Jossy, you told me they were going to start diving again today for remains. Why didn`t they start diving today, like you said?

MANSUR: Because they`re putting together the diving team. The diving team is not that easy to gather. I mean, this is a small island. I mean, they`re thinking of gathering between 12 and 20 people to go out there and search.

GRACE: Where is it they`re going to dive, Jossy?

MANSUR: They want to dive to the west of the hotels.


GRACE: You know, Jossy, last night, right as we were -- were going to a commercial break, you told me divers were going to start diving again today. And I asked you, For what? Anything specific? And you said, Remains. Where did you get that information? What are you talking about?

MANSUR: I got it from the people that are organizing the next dive. I got it also from Art Wood, who is with another search team down here voluntarily with some kind of specialized equipment that he has that can detect bones or things similar to that of human beings at any distance.

So he did make his tests over that. He did find some item of interest. And they went Sunday. They did the first dive. I know because my son is involved in it. Both my sons are involved in it. Then they came back, they studied the area, they plotted the area again, now much larger. And they`re going back this week sometime, either Thursday or Friday, to do the real diving, to search for whatever this man found on this machine.

Does anyone know what a CapsLockWizard is?

I don't know why but that cracked me up, lol.
Do you know what a vms is? 

 

A very clever Monkey!

vms is the aruban codename for simian...

Oil is at $50/BBL. Not a real good time to be drilling for untested locales.

Could you picture a monkey convention...
Monkeys in an auditorium, note pads in hand, projection screens, power point presentations, chart boards, etc...
The case would be solved in minutes...
Could probably figure out underwear colors of the suspects...

Paulus' would be easy...Soiled - brown/white w/sweat stains and an open fly...
Anita's would be easy as well...See-through

Toads don't know a whole lot of things like those green froggies sometimes do. I'm thinking that normally drilling / mineral rights extend out about three miles offshore except for Texas which is part of a funny kinda story I think I recall from back when Texas was a Republic on it's own. Well no I wasn't here already then, I meant something I read, was that Texas has rights from back then to TEN miles out offshore.

Wow Granny Toad, that's big.  No wonder there are so many wells off shore wells on the Texas coast.  I used to go to Port Aransas in the summer and while I was on the beach with my son, the entire horizon was full of off shore rigs.  It was actually really pretty at night.  You are right though, I think most rights do extend for about three miles.  Legal jurisdiction is much further than that, but I think most minerals only go for a few miles.


Granny did you remember the Alamo?

I think the other guy I was thinking might be Luis is too young but I can't get a clear look at him...

Eduardo?

Yes, gas is down to $1.67 here, but I think they are toying with us.

Good nite you all.

Maybe they'll wait for the prices to up.  Hey, if they get Haliburton to do the drilling they might be waiting for Cheyney to leave office.

IIRC, Aruba Search and Rescue is a non-government organization and not part of ALE.

The S&R was started after Natalee disappeared.  

Isn't it possible that a lot of people on Aruba dive?  Some of the islands are known for their dive vacations.  

Wasn't there someone named Bud who disappeared and was related to diving?  

Did anyone check the ALE web page for dive team?  Maybe the tourist sites?

Eduardo Mansur is the one who started Aruba Search and Rescue.  I think I just posted something about it.

Good nite you all.

Nite A1...games over...Browns win...off to bed myself.

Is Eduardo Mansur Jossy's son?  If so he is the co-founder of the dive team Aruba Search and Rescue.

An Aruba group is seeking divers to continue the search for Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager who went missing nearly three months ago on the Dutch Caribbean island.

The group wants to lead the divers in exploring waters off Aruba’s east coast, where Holloway was staying with 124 Mountain Brook High School classmates, said Eduardo Mansur, co-founder of the Aruba Search and Rescue Foundation, which has been helping search for the teenager since she vanished May 30.

Although the waters have been searched before, the group wants to try again with the help of a machine invented by an American who claims it can detect human bones and teeth under water, Mansur said. The inventor, Joe Walker, came to Aruba to help in the search, Mansur said.

Toady picks off that dragonfly and pulls off each leg then the shiny little head off the bug, laying those parts aside into a neat pile. One at a time she breaks loose the beautiful wings and admires them before GOBBLING UP THE JUICY TENDER DRAGONFLY BODY.

[SS]

Go for it Granny   

[Anna]

Didn't Jossy finance and conduct his own search just before the Persistence arrived?  Maybe October or November of last year?

I know. Do you think that is him in the pic?

Yes SS we toads did help build the Alamo back before it was Texas. We had a lot of fun in the puddles when it would rain. O hey, you know what toad do in mud puddles don't you? We had us a real good time, from what I hear. But you know, those Spanish just wanted to give those Indios good catholic names for when they made those adobe bricks and worked the gardens. We peed on the bricks sometimes though. If anyone picks us toads up we dump ballast so we can jump better.
