My wife hopes Ill join her on a cruise someday. The odds are not good.

Why in the world would I ever go on a cruise?

Like most men, I go on a trip only if theres a ballgame involved.

Theres no stadium on a cruise ship. Id be bored out of my mind. Id be incarcerated at sea.

My wife loves everything about oceans and beaches. Shes happy sitting on a beach even without a book.

I just like being around water, she says.

When watching an oceanfront TV show, her gaze always shifts toward the water.

On the beach, sitting and looking at the water gives her deep satisfaction. She likes to soak in the rays and forget about everything. She even enjoys the breeze.

I like everything about it. Its therapeutic, she says.

What gives me satisfaction, meanwhile, is watching a 6-4-3 double play.

I know that Im not alone. Even famous singers feel the same way. Josh Groban once said, When Im on tour, I try to visit as many baseball stadiums as possible.

You cant do that when youre stuck on a boat.

Kenna can have the Caribbean, Bermuda and Turks and Caicos. Id be happier at a state American Legion baseball tournament. To me, a vacation is worthless unless you take in a sporting event.

Ive always wondered why my brother-in-law, Larry, goes on cruises with his wife. A Nebraska farmer, Larry doesnt strike me as a cruise guy.

I called him this week to ask how he endures it.

Going on a cruise, he said, is a good way to get away because cellphones dont work and internet service costs $15 a minute.

So you dont have to deal with work, he said. Everybody takes care of your food, your room and your entertainment. You can do as much or as little as you want, he said.

Dollar for dollar, a cruise probably offers the best return on investment as far as quality of food, room and entertainment, he said.

Larry has been on 15 cruises over the years. Im a Diamond Member in Royal Caribbean, he said.

For the money you spend, its still probably one of the better vacations you can take in my book, said the Perkins County farmer.

Cruises are relaxing and usually warm.

But by the seventh day, even Larry is ready for it to be over. Hes actually getting tired of cruises. Hes been to the same ports so many times hes ready for something different.

His wife, though, is happy whenever somebody else is doing the cooking and cleaning.

Kristines sister, my wife, is the same way. The thing Kenna likes best about a hotel is the maid service.

I tell Kenna she should have married a farmer. Seed companies pay for trips to Mexico and Hawaii and cruises.

Or she should have just married someone whos fun.

Other than lying on the beach, Kenna freely admits that shes happiest indoors. Shes not crazy about wildlife. Shed much rather cool off in a swimming pool than a lake.

Last week, Kenna and I celebrated my birthday at an Omaha Storm Chasers game. I enjoyed the game, but I admit it was a hot day.

According to Kenna, she battled the elements to help me celebrate the day. Kenna, who always checks the weather conditions on her phone, had a tough time of it.

Later, she sent this email to our kids:

The main thought I had, while suffering 96-degree heat and 59-percent humidity, no breeze, is but one: Without a beach or pool nearby, being outdoors is greatly overrated.

It's not always better in the Bahamas - Grand Island Independent

Dayum, girl! It looks like Tiny Harris had a great Bahamas vacation with her estranged hubby T.I. But was she tempting him with a dangerously sexy bikini?

Tiny, 42, is looking FINE. The mother of five flaunted her amazing bikini body on July 29 in some insane pics she posted to Instagram to show off her recent family getaway with estranged hubby T.I., 36. Just a lil recap of my vacation in the Bahamas , Tiny captioned the Instagram gallery of photos of her in a skimpy snake print bikini. The singer is enjoying a breathtaking day at the beach in the snaps, and goes from standing sassily above the tide, to crouching in the water, to lounging on the sand beneath the glistening waves.

The singer wore her hair in long blonde and black cornrows and rocked some large silver hoops to add even more personality to the look. She was spectacular while showing off her hourglass curves. Maybe a little toospectacular. Could it be she had been trying to tempt TIP with her smoking hot bod? Possibly, but with the amount of mixed messages these two have been sending since filing for divorce, we have no idea!

Though the couple are in the process of dissolving their marriage (amidrumors of T.I.s infidelity) they have made it very clear they are committed to co-parenting and raising the three children Clifford King, Major, 9, Heiress, 1 they share together, as a team. Thats why the entire family went on vacation together at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. They even brought along the children they do not share together. And based on the photos they posted of the whole fam hanging out in the hotel, scuba diving and generally having an amazing time bonding, it looks like they are doing a great job of staying close. Even if they arent getting close likethatanymore. Click here to see pics of T.I. and Tinys children.

HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Tinys hot bikini pic? Let us know below!

As Baha Mar opening moves forward in the Bahamas, the Atlantis announces plans to upgrade, improve.

Legendary sports bettor Billy Walters gets five years for insider trading offenses.

This week's installment of Inside Gaming reports on plans by a couple of different casinos to work on upgrades one in the Bahamas, the other in Australia and also shares news of a famed sports bettor being sentenced for insider trading.

It was back in 2011 when the groundbreaking on a new casino-resort in Nassau, Bahamas called Baha Mar first took place. After numerous delays the $4.2 billion property located on Cable Beach that includes three hotels, 2,300 rooms, and a 100,000-square-foot casino is in the midst of multi-phase roll out, with the full opening of all its hotels and other features due next spring.

The first of Baha Mar's three hotels, the Grand Hyatt, opened in April, with the SLS Baha Mar due to open later this year and the Rosewood Baha Mar next spring. In addition to the casino, the resort features 42 restaurants, 11 swimming pools, and an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course and Golf Club.

Meanwhile just seven miles to the east the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort is readying for the competition. This week Howard Karawan, president and managing director of the Atlantis, shared with Tribune Business plans to spend "north of $80 million" on property enhancements this year, "with another $50 million likely injected in 2018."

"By the end of next year, every single room in Atlantis [will be] redone," said Karawan, noting also intended improvements also to the physical plant.

In his comments Karawan emphasized the commitment by the Atlantis "to enhance the indigenous experience and provide more economic benefits to Bahamian businesses," including its partnering with "20-30 local companies."

"It's rewarding," said Karawan, "because we are making a difference in the country by supporting these local businesses, and it is also great benefit to our guests, so it's a win-win for everybody."

For many years each January the Atlantis has been the site of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure now PokerStars Championship Bahamas.

Speaking of upgrades, a $330 million one to the SkyCity Adelaide Casino in south Australia will finally go forward now that the SkyCity Entertainment Group has given its approval, reports The Advertiser.

SkyCity announced to the New Zealand Stock Exchange on Wednesday "that it has reached a development agreement with the State Government for the upgrade," which will include adding restaurants, bars, and hotel rooms, as well as allocating $10 million to remodel the casino's building. Construction will begin early next year and is due to be completed by mid-2020.

The plans will also importantly facilitate the Adelaide Casino's ability to attract a wider range of high-roller, "VIP" customers.

According to the announcement, SkyCity "will be given greater discretion over who can access its high-roller rooms by allowing to invite up to 1,000 prospective customers." Such premium customers "will be given an 'increased number' of guest passes to the VIP room which has no limit on maximum bets."

As The Advertiser explains, "SkyCity was understood to have demanded the Government abandon scrutiny of its VIP rooms, arguing it should be free to decide which high rollers to reward through its loyalty programs."

The Adelaide Casino first opened in 1985, and in 2000 was sold to the SkyCity Entertainment Group who renamed it the SkyCity Adelaide in 2001.

Also from week's gaming headlines, yesterday legendary sports bettor William "Billy" Walters was sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of being involved in an insider trading scheme, reports Bloomberg.

In April, Walters was found guilty of 10 separate counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, and wire fraud after having made more than $43 million on trades based on information he'd obtained from Tom C. Davis, chairman of Dean Foods.

In addition to receiving a five-year prison sentence, Walters was fined $10 million.

Over several decades as a successful sports bettor, Walters earned both a considerable fortune and a reputation for betting and winning big, including once winning $3.5 million betting on the Super Bowl. The 71-year-old built a large business along the way that included real estate, golf courses, and car dealerships.

Professional golfer (and occasional sports bettor) Phil Mickelson was drawn into the case at one point as he, too, netted significant sums from related trades made in 2011 and 2012. Mickelson avoided any charges, though agreed to pay back over $1 million made from those trades.

According to Bloomberg, "U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel described Walters as a rich Las Vegas celebrity who sought to exploit his relationship with Davis out of pure greed and to be seen as a winner."

"Billy Walters is a cheater and a criminal, and not a very clever one," added Judge Castel. "The crime was amateurishly simple."

Davis has pleaded guilty and still awaits sentencing. During Walters's trial, Davis explained how he had "passed on information because Walters provided him with loans of almost $1 million that he needed to pay off gambling debts, cover failed investments and finance a bitter divorce."

Among the more than 100 supporters penning letters advocating leniency for Walters were professional golfers Jim Colbert and Peter Jacobson, retired tennis star Andre Agassi, and ex-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Inside Gaming: Atlantis Readies for Competition in Bahamas from Baha Mar - PokerNews.com

By BRENT STUBBS

A POSITIVE drug test of the A sample from one of the Bahamas sprinters on the mens 4x100m relay team at the IAAF World Relays in April means there will be a change to the line-up at next weeks IAAF World Championships in London.

Two days ago, the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations named a 21-member team for the championships, but excluded the mens 400m relay team as they waited on the final conformation that they would be allowed to compete from the IAAF.

That confirmation was given yesterday and the Bahamas will have all four relay teams participating in the event that will run from August 3-14.

BAAAs president Rosamunde Carey said they are thrilled that the IAAF has granted the team permission to compete in the championships, despite the allegation of a positive test.

I cant confirm a positive drug testing because there is a procedure that we have to follow, Carey said. There is an Athletes Drug Integrity Unit. All information will flow through them because they have to notify any athlete if there is a positive testing.

If there is a positive testing of an A sample, nothing can be done until they give you the opportunity to have your B sample tested at the athletes expense. Once that process is done, if the B sample is tested positive, then based on what the substance is, they would met out whatever punishment whether or not there is a ban, a suspension or just a warning.

Carey said at this point, she cant make a statement on any athlete testing positive because the athlete has to go through the process.

We have a letter from the Athletes Drug Integrity Unit that oversees drug testing and disciplinary actions against athletes who have tested positive, she said.

We cant say until the process is completed. Any and all athletes have a right to privacy, until such time as the IAAF makes a public statement.

The team of Warren Fraser, Shavez Hart, Cliff Resias and Adrian Griffith finished third in the B final behind winner Trinidad & Tobago and second place finisher Germany at the World Relays at the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium on April 22.

The three teams were elevated to the sixth, seventh and eighth spots respectively, thus qualifying for London, after only five teams completed the A final.

The United States won the gold medal with Barbados taking the second and China getting third. Australia and France were fourth and fifth respectively.

Canada, Great Britain and the Netherlands all failed to finish the race after they experienced difficulties on their baton exchanges.

Named to the Bahamas team for individual events in London are Shaunae Miller-Uibo (womens 200/400m); Anthonique Strachan, TyNia Gaither and Jenae Abrose (womens 200m, although only three will be allowed to compete); Devynne Charlton (womens 100m hurdles); Teray Smith (mens 200m); Steven Gardiner (mens 400m), Donald Thomas (mens high jump), Bianca Stuart (womens long jump), Tamara Myers (womens triple jump) and Warren Fraser (mens 100m).

Added for relay duties are Camiesha Cox and Keianna Albury (womens 4 x 100m); Shaquania Dorsett, Lanece Clarke, Christine Amertil and Doneisha Anderson (womens 4 x400m relay); Shavez Hart, Shawn Stuart and Joel Johnson (mens 4 x 100m relay) and Michael Mathieu, Alonzo Russell, Kendrick Thompson, Ramon Miller and Ojay Ferguson (mens 4 x 400m relay).

The IAAF has taken a hard stance against the use of banned substances. They will be awarding a number of athletes and relay teams with medals during the championships after they were elevated following various positive drug tests at the last championships in Beijing, China.

Bahamas Sprinter 'Fails' Drug Test - Bahamas Tribune

By NATARIO McKENZIE

Tribune Business Reporter

and NEIL HARTNELL

Tribune Business Editor

Sandals Royal Bahamian's top executive yesterday revealed that the all-inclusive chain shares Atlantis's Baha Mar fears, arguing that the Bahamas "can't afford" a rate discounting war.

Gary Williams, the resort's general manager, told Tribune Business he agreed with the sentiments expressed earlier this week by Atlantis's president and managing director, Howard Karawan.

"We all have the same concerns. Baha Mar is good for the Bahamas, but what the country can't afford is for them to discount rates. That is going to cannibalise the market. I certainly share the gentleman's views. I echo those concerns," said Mr Williams.

Mr Karawan had expressed fears of market 'cannibalisation' as a result of new developments such as the $4.2 billion Baha Mar project, and added that new developers should effectively 'take the lead' in attracting new airlift to this destination and expanding the tourism market.

Mr Williams yesterday said that despite these concerns, the all-inclusive property has been able to hold its own thus far. "We haven't seen any impact thus far," he added. "We are holding our own. It hasn't started to affect us as yet, but discounted rates are no good for the Bahamas."

Mr Williams said slashing room rates to gain market share "makes no sense at all" for a high-end destination such as the Bahamas.

Dionisio D'Aguilar, the minister of tourism, told Tribune Business earlier this year that his priority was to avoid any "devastating cannibalisation" impact from Baha Mar's full opening on other New Providence resorts. He said this was a greater concern than generating the extra 314,000 airline seats per annum that are needed to fill Baha Mar's net 2,300-room increase.

Baha Mar, though, yesterday countered the concerns by arguing that it will "attract an entirely new traveller to the Bahamas" via its various brands and amenities, suggesting it was sufficiently differentiated from rival properties.

"Baha Mar is leading the way in driving the most significant expansion of the Bahamian hospitality market ever," the $4.2 billion project said yesterday. "As a world-class resort development, Baha Mar possesses key differentiators that will attract an entirely new traveller to the Bahamas......

"Collectively we are currently in negotiations with major air carriers to greatly increase frequency, capacity and direct flights from the top US feeder markets, and service from underutilised feeder markets, such as the American Mid-west. We're equally focused on building a presence for the Bahamas in international markets, such as Canada, the UK, South America, Asia and Europe as we complete our phased opening, and fully activate our groundbreaking marketing campaign set to launch in fall 2017.

"Baha Mar is - and will continue to expand - the Bahamas' tourism market and attract new visitors to the destination."

The $4.2 billion project's position is that by targeting new markets it will grow, rather than split, the market for high-end visitors with Atlantis, and ensure there is sufficient demand and business for everyone to prevent a 'race to the bottom' on room rates.

"Our statistics have shown that the opening of Baha Mar has re-ignited interest in the Bahamas, and has contributed to the growth of tourism with new and returning guests who haven't visited the Bahamas in a long time," Baha Mar said.

Focusing on the strategy for its 1,800-room, Hyatt-branded hotels, Baha Mar said it was targeting high-end incentive travel guests and groups, especially those who have yet to visit the Bahamas.

"Once they discover the Baha Mar destination, they are far more inclined to bring their family and friends and share word of mouth. This is our secondary objective - to secure this secondary market to increase affluent leisure business," Baha Mar said.

The resort added that it anticipated Hyatt's loyalty programmes will generate around one-third of its current and future bookings.

"These loyal guests are an addition to the market, as Hyatt has not had a presence in the Bahamas," Baha Mar said. "We are not only a new resort for our loyal guests to experience, but a new destination for many of our guests.

"Our strongest booking resource is Hyatt.com, which represents the majority of all current and future room nights booked. Again, these are Hyatt loyal customers, many new to the marketplace."

Robert Sands, Baha Mar's senior vice-president of government and external affairs, declined to comment beyond what was in the statement.

Go to Jamaica or Barbados or the Bahamas. Tough choices. - KTNV Las Vegas

Restaurateur Jos Andrs just locked down a second location for regionally inspired Fish, inking a deal to replicate the restaurant first introduced at MGM National Harbor in the Caribbean.

The Cove Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas is scheduled to welcome the seafood-centric establishment in early 2018. The sibling restaurant is expected to focus on marine life plucked from local waters think: lobster, tuna, lionfish, and Bahamian conch similar to how the one in neighboring Prince Georges County showcases seasonal offerings from the Chesapeake Bay.

According to a release, Andrs and Howard Karawan, president of the 600-room luxury resort, first discussed the potential partnership over a family Thanksgiving dinner last year.

The original Fish has received much fanfare since opening at MGM Resort in December, receiving a glowing review from Washington Post restaurant critic Tom Sietsema. The sun-drenched space, which recently unveiled a patio, features a nautical theme with nets and a wall design that mimics fish scales.

Spanish design firm Capella Garcia is charged with designing the Bahamas space, promising organic elements amidst an airy, open feel. Private dining areas will be partitioned with translucent curtains to create a submerged look.

Andrs ThinkFoodGroup has been in expansion mode lately, announcing a Jaleo for Disney World and Zaytinya in Dallas.

Bahamas First recently held a free public education seminar to help Bahamians better prepare for this year's hurricane season.

Staged under the topic, Hurricane Prep 101, the event took place at the British Colonial Hilton and featured a presentation by Caroline Turnquest, director-general for the Bahamas Red Cross.This was followed by a panel discussion with industry experts.

The panel included Leonard Sands, president of the Bahamian Contractors Association (BCA); Iain Parish, managing director of Technical Adjusters Bahamas; Keith Rolle, senior vice-president for underwriting, Bahamas First; and Warren Rolle, managing director of NUA Insurance Agents & Brokers.

Attendees were given information and advice on how to maintain their homes and property, and ways to prepare for the possibility of having to recover from a storm.

Stressing the importance of regular building maintenance, the panel encouraged property owners to conduct regular assessments, carrying out repairs where needed and planning for more extensive projects including window and roof repairs or replacement.

The insurance executives also explained 'underinsurance', encouraging persons to ensure their homes are fully insured for the actual replacement cost. The panel said this would leave them well-positioned to fully recover in the event of a loss.

Tenants were encouraged to insure their contents and consider coverage for alternate accommodation. Homeowners were advised to maintain a photo archive of their home and contents, and informed on how they could expedite and simplify the claims process should a loss occur.

Reflecting on lessons learned from Hurricane Matthew, Patrick Ward, Bahamas First's president and chief executive, said: "We want to do our part to ensure that our clients are in the best state possible to protect their families and homes, and minimise their risk in the event of a hurricane this year.

"This forum was about providing practical advice and solutions, and also creating an opportunity for the public to get answers from subject matter experts on not only insurance topics but also on home maintenance, disaster relief and other related issues.

"We see ourselves as partners with our clients and, following last year's significant event, we want to leverage that experience to ensure that our clients are well-informed, have adequate coverage and are best positioned to recover and move on with their lives in the unfortunate event of a loss."

Bahamas First Seminar Aids Hurricane Readiness - Bahamas Tribune

Avon leader Cynthia Pilkington loves owning her own business. The Windber resident has been an Avon representative for 30 years and currently has 128 selling under her."

I did have 200 in the past, she said.

Pilkington and four other representatives from the area recently returned from a trip to Paradise Island in the Bahamas, a trip a four-day, three-night adventure that she said was nothing but first class. Attending with her were Alisha Shaffer of Hollsopple, Jeana Yarnavick from Ashtola, and Angel Speed and Matt Speed from Johnstown.

Each of the representatives have a different reason for being an independent business owner with Avon. Shaffer said she has been selling for 16 years total. She joined when she was attending college to help pay for her books.

She said she earned her degree and worked as a medical assistant, but wanted to become a stay-at-home mom when her two children were born.

I would say, How much do I have to sell to be able to stay home? Avon gave me the freedom to work when I want to and take a day off and still get paid, said Shaffer, who is also a leader with the company. I can set my own goals as to how much I want to make and how much I want to work.

Yarnavick said she has five years with the company.

I agree, with Avon you can be your own boss. I like to sell the product, but I prefer to recruit," she said.

According to Yarnavick, Avon is not a pyramid-type company.

I make money no matter if I recruit on not. Plus, you get all kinds of free education along with free gifts, she said.

Angel Speed also has five years and is a member of the Honor Society with Avon for reaching sales of more than $20,000.

"I started Avon to support my family, said the mother of six daughters. It is just a wonderful company.

She added that she will soon have close to 100 on her team and was so thrilled with the company that she encouraged her husband, Matt, to join.

Matt Speed said his grandmother sold Avon for years earning all kinds of awards.

She never worked the business like my wife and I do now, he said. We work hard. We found you can really advance in the company by recruiting other members.

Matt Speed said his idol with the company is a man named Timothy Brown, who works a 40 hour a week job yet makes more than $100,000 a year on the side with Avon.

"I always heard my wife talking about Timothy Brown, so I looked him up and thought I could do the same, he said, adding that women love having a man as their Avon representative. Both Matt and Angel work other jobs at the Galleria Mall, but feel their future is in Avon.

To receive the trip to the Bahamas, Avon employees have to reach a number of qualifications. Pilkington said she has earned a cruise to the Bahamas in 2006, with all expenses paid and two trips to Las Vegas, also all paid for.

"We have a trip to Nashville coming up in August. There will be 6,000 of us there. Plans are to include busing us down to the river where they will have entertainers, she said, noting that there will also be a VIP party for those who earned a certain level.

Pilkington has also set up an Avon product store in the foyer of her home where customers can just pick up their orders and buy additional products.

I dont really advertise, she said. I have a large sign out front and people just stop. I just had two customers stop on Saturday and ended up chatting with them about the company.

She said what makes the company so workable is it only costs $25 to start.

It really is reasonable to become a consultant, plus you get a free website," she said. "Many of the other direct sales companies charge for a website.

Pilkington also added that todays company also is non-territorial, which is another perk for new consultants.

Bahamas, July 26, 2017 Nassau The countrys leader will address the nation tonight at 8 on ZNS Radio and Television and it is expected to be a profound assessment of what the newly elected Free National Movement has done, is doing and will continue to do. With a resounding win at the polls on May 10, the FNM has long admitted that they are aware that expectations by the electorate are high.

Already there are doubts expressed over the strategy to curb crime, desperate pleas from Grand Bahama for swifter movement on job creation and charges that certain actions by the new administration have hurt the countrys economic reputation; plus the Progressive Liberal Party is adamant that alleged mismanagement of public funds and policy breaches are inflated by the Minnis led government.

However, exposure of gross malfeasance and arrests of at least three PLP leaders linked to suspect behavior while in public office have been a bitter sweet pill for voters to swallow. Many have viewed the arrests as a serious stance against corruption, as promised by the FNM Government. It was announced that these national addresses by Prime Minister, Dr Hon Hubert Minnis will be scheduled, as will be his press briefings.
